Subject to Landlord’s obligation to complete any Landlord Work Punch List Items (as defined herein) and Tenant’s Roof Work and Secondary Base Building Roof Work, Tenant’s occupancy of any portion of the Premises for the conduct of business shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises, in its then current condition and at the time such possession was taken, the Premises was in the condition required hereby. Upon Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Premises Work, Landlord shall notify Tenant that it has Substantially Completed the same. Tenant shall have ten (10) Business Days within which to notify Landlord, in writing, that it disputes Landlord’s determination that it has Substantially Completed Landlord’s Premises Work and whether any additional items which should be Punch List Items. If Tenant does not provide such list within the foregoing ten (10) Business Days period, it shall be deemed that Landlord’s Premises Work has been Substantially Completed. Any dispute as to whether Landlord has Substantially Completed Landlord’s Premises Work or Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work, or whether an item should be a Punch List Item, shall be resolved in accordance with Article 34.

Section 4.2 Landlord’s Premises Work/Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work.

(a) Landlord will commence the performance of Landlord’s Premises Work reasonably promptly following the Final Plans Approval Date (as defined in Exhibit C) and Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work reasonably promptly following the Expansion Premises Final Plans Approval Date (as defined in Exhibit M), subject to Tenant’s compliance with the provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the terms and conditions of Exhibit C, with respect to the Leased Premises Work, and Exhibit M, with respect to Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work), and, will complete Landlord’s Premises Work and Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work in a first-class, good and workmanlike manner. Landlord and its employees, contractors and agents shall have access to the 9th and 10th Floor Premises at all reasonable times for the performance of Landlord’s Premises Work and for the storage of materials reasonably required in connection therewith (and for such time as may be reasonably required). Landlord shall perform Landlord’s Premises Work with reasonable due diligence. Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (“Landlord’s Delivery Notice”) on or about fifteen (15) days prior to the anticipated date of Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Premises Work (the “Anticipated Date of Substantial Completion”). Following the giving of the applicable Landlord’s Delivery Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall schedule the time and date (the “Inspection Date”) on which the Walk-Through (as defined below) shall be conducted, which shall be a Business Day reasonably anticipated to be at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Anticipated Date of Substantial Completion. On the Inspection Date, Landlord and Tenant (including any of its representatives, which shall include Tenant’s representative and Tenant’s architect) shall conduct a joint walk-through and review and inspect Landlord’s Premises Work (collectively, the “Walk-Through”). During the Walk-Through, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly prepare a list of the minor so-called “punch list” items, the non-completion of which does not, either individually or in the aggregate, interfere, in any material way, with Tenant’s ability to conduct its business or otherwise use the applicable portion of the Premises (a “Punch List” and such initial list, the “Initial Punch List”) with Tenant delivering any requested changes to such Initial Punch List within seven (7) days after the Walk-Through. Landlord shall diligently pursue completion of any and all Punch List Items within 60 days after Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Premises Work (subject to Tenant Delay and Unavoidable Delay); provided that Landlord shall not unreasonably and materially interfere with Tenant’s access to or installations or operations within 9th and 10th Floor Premises. The above notice, inspection and Walk-Through procedures and time to complete Punch List Items shall apply to the Substantial Completion of Tenant’s Roof Work and, the Secondary Base Building Roof Work (and such Substantial Completion date shall be the “Roof Substantial Completion Date”) and Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work.

(b) Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete Landlord’s Premises Work and deliver vacant possession of the 9th and 10th Floor Premises to Tenant no later than two hundred ten (210) days after the Final Proposed Plans Delivery Date (as hereinafter defined)(provided that if such preliminary plans were not timely submitted to Landlord in stages, as provided by Sections 2.2 and 2.5 of Exhibit C, such two hundred ten (210) day period shall be increased to two hundred fifty five (255) days) (the “Anticipated Required Delivery Date”), which Anticipated Required Delivery Date shall be extended for Unavoidable Delays and other Tenant Delays).

(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Landlord’s Premises Work has not been Substantially Completed (or deemed Substantially Completed) and Landlord has not delivered vacant possession of the 9th and 10th Floor Premises to Tenant on or prior to the date which is sixty (60) days after the Anticipated Required Delivery Date, which date shall be extended by reason of Unavoidable Delay and/or by Tenant Delay (the

“Outside Date”), then, provided that on the Outside Date or any time thereafter, no Event of Default exists (and if such an Event of Default does exist, as long as the Lease is not terminated as a result of thereof, then commencing on the curing thereof), and Tenant’s occupancy of the 9th and 10th Floor Premises for the ordinary conduct of business is actually delayed as a result thereof, and further provided the Commencement Date has not occurred, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection therewith, the nine (9) month time period described in the definition of the Rent Commencement Date in Article 1 above shall be extended by one day for each day after the Outside Date that the Commencement Date has not occurred until the Commencement Date occurs (but the Expiration Date shall not be similarly extended).

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Landlord’s Premises Work has not been Substantially Completed (or deemed Substantially Completed) and Landlord has not delivered vacant possession of the 9th and 10th Floor Premises to Tenant on or prior to the date which is sixty (60) days after the Outside Date, which date shall be extended by reason of Unavoidable Delay and/or by Tenant Delay (the “Second Outside Date”), then, provided that on the Second Outside Date or any time thereafter, no Event of Default exists (and if such a default does exist, as long as the lease is not terminated as a result of thereof, then commencing on the curing thereof), and further provided the Commencement Date has not occurred, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection therewith, the nine (9) month time period described in the definition of the Rent Commencement Date in Article 1 above shall be extended by two days for each day after the Second Outside Date that the Commencement Date has not occurred until the Commencement Date occurs (but the Expiration Date shall be similarly extended).

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Landlord’s Premises Work has not been Substantially Completed (or deemed Substantially Completed) and Landlord has not delivered vacant possession of the 9th and 10th Floor Premises to Tenant on or prior to the date which is seven (7) months after the Anticipated Required Delivery Date, which date shall be extended by reason of Unavoidable Delay and/or by Tenant Delay (the “Third Outside Date”), then in addition to the remedies provided in clause (d) above, as Tenant’s exclusive remedy with respect thereto Tenant shall be entitled to complete such work, at Tenant’s expense, subject to its right to receive reimbursement from Landlord to the extent described below. Tenant shall only be entitled to complete such work if the following conditions shall be satisfied: (i) Tenant shall deliver notice (a “Tenant Notice”) to Landlord stating the nature of such incomplete work and that Tenant intends to complete the same, (ii) Landlord shall fail to deliver a notice to Tenant within 10 days following Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of the Tenant Notice stating that Landlord intends to complete such work (which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the steps Landlord intends to take in completing the same), and (iii) Landlord shall fail within such 10-day period to diligently pursue completion of such work. Substantial Completion of such Landlord’s Premises Work shall occur on the date of such Substantial Completion or the date same would have been Substantially Completed if Tenant diligently pursued such completion after the Tenant Notice and Landlord’s failure to pursue completion. The extent of the work performed by Tenant in completing such work shall not exceed the work that is reasonably necessary to complete such work. In the event Tenant shall complete such work, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in completing such work within 30 days following the provision of an invoice therefor (together with reasonable substantiation), unless Landlord is disputing the incompleteness of such work, in which case such dispute shall be resolved by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the American Arbitration Association Arbitration Rules for the Real Estate Industry. Landlord shall have no obligation to reimburse Tenant until and unless such dispute is finally resolved in favor of Tenant. In the event Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant as

aforesaid in this Section 4.2(e), Tenant may offset the unreimbursed amount from the next succeeding monthly installment or installments of Rent due and payable hereunder.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Tenant Roof Work and Secondary Base Building Roof Work has not been Substantially Completed (or deemed Substantially Completed) on or prior to the date which is the later to occur of (i) one hundred fifty (150) days after the Substantial Completion Date, (ii) May 1, 2018, and (iii) two (2) days after Tenant occupies the Premises (including the 00xx Xxxxx) for the conduct of business, which date in each case shall be extended by reason of Unavoidable Delay and/or by Tenant Delay (the “Tenant Roof Work Outside Date”), then, provided that on the Tenant Building Roof Work Outside Date or any time thereafter, no Event of Default exists (and if such an Event of Default does exist, as long as the lease is not terminated as a result of thereof, then commencing on the curing thereof), and Tenant is conducting normal business operations in the 9th and 10th Floor Premises then as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection therewith, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against Rent next coming due in a per diem amount equal to 10% of the per diem amount of Fixed Rent then payable by Tenant with respect to the Premises (or which would have been due if a rent concession or abatement period was not then occurring, in which event, Tenant shall be credited with such reduction against the next installments of Fixed Rent actually payable) for each day after the Tenant Roof Work Outside Date that Tenant is conducting business in the 9th and 10th Floor Premises and Tenant Roof Work and Secondary Base Building Roof Work has not been Substantially Completed until the Tenant Roof Work and the Secondary Base Building Roof Work is Substantially Completed.

(g) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease to the contrary, there shall be no Rent abatement or allowance to Tenant for a diminution of rental value, no actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, no relief from any of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, and no liability on the part of Landlord, by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from the performance of Landlord’s Premises Work or Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work, as applicable or the storage of any materials in connection therewith (but only for so long as is reasonably necessary and if reasonably practicable Landlord shall remove such material when not in use), provided that in connection with any such storage (a) the level of any Building service shall not decrease in any material respect from the level required of Landlord in this Lease as a result thereof, (b) Tenant is not deprived of reasonable access to the Building or the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the Substantial Completion of Tenant Roof Work and the Secondary Base Building Roof Work shall not be a condition to Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Premises Work or Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work for purposes of the Commencement Date and/or Expansion Premises Commencement Date (if applicable), respectively.

(h) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an ACP-5 covering the Premises within ten (10) days after request therefor after the Commencement Date

(i) Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work and deliver vacant possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant no later than two hundred seventy (270) days after the Final Expansion Premises Proposed Plans are delivered to Landlord (provided that if preliminary plans were not timely submitted to Landlord in stages, as provided by Sections 2.2 and 2.5 of Exhibit M, such two hundred seventy (270) day period shall be increased to three hundred (300) days) (the “Expansion Premises Anticipated Required Delivery Date”), which Expansion Premises

Anticipated Required Delivery Date shall be extended for Unavoidable Delays and other Tenant Delays).

(j) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work has not been Substantially Completed (or deemed Substantially Completed) and Landlord has not delivered vacant possession of the Expansion Premises to Tenant on or prior to the date which is sixty (60) days after the Expansion Premises Anticipated Required Delivery Date, which date shall be extended by reason of Unavoidable Delay and/or by Tenant Delay (the “Expansion Premises Outside Date”), then, provided that on the Expansion Premises Outside Date or any time thereafter, no Event of Default exists (and if such an Event of Default does exist, as long as the Lease is not terminated as a result of thereof, then commencing on the curing thereof), and Tenant’s occupancy of the Expansion Premises for the ordinary conduct of business is actually delayed as a result thereof, and further provided the Expansion Premises Commencement Date has not occurred, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection therewith, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against Rent next coming due for the Expansion Premises, in a per diem amount equal to the per diem amount of Fixed Rent then payable by Tenant with respect to the Expansion Premises (i.e., 4,637.50), for each day after the Expansion Premises Outside Date that the Expansion Premises Commencement Date has not occurred until the Expansion Premises Commencement Date occurs (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Expiration Date shall not be extended in connection therewith).

Prior to making any Alterations, Tenant, at its reasonable expense, shall (i) submit to Landlord for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed as and to the extent required by Section 5.1 above, detailed plans and specifications (“Alteration Plans”) of each proposed Alteration (other than Decorative Alterations or Alterations that can be performed by Tenant without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 5.1(a) above), and with respect to any Alteration affecting any Building System other than by connecting thereto, evidence that the Alteration has been designed by, or reviewed and approved by, Landlord’s designated engineer for the affected Building System, (ii) obtain all permits, approvals and certificates required by any Governmental Authorities, and (iii) furnish to Landlord duplicate original policies or certificates of worker’s compensation (covering all persons to be employed by Tenant, and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors in connection with such Alteration) and commercial general liability (including property damage coverage) insurance and Builder’s Risk coverage (as described in Article 11), naming Landlord, Landlord’s Agent, any Lessor and any Mortgagee of whom Tenant has been notified as additional insureds (provided, however, that for contractors performing work costing less than $200,000.00 (which amount shall increase by 2% each year on a compounding basis) which does not in any manner affect the structural integrity of the Building or any Building Systems or the TCO and/or CO of the Building and are not visible from the street level outside the Building, Landlord shall accept such lower limits of liability insurance then being accepted by landlords of Comparable Buildings [hereinafter defined]). Landlord shall respond to any request for approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications for Alterations (the “Plans”) within ten (10) Business Days after such request is made. In addition, Landlord agrees to respond to any resubmission of the Plans within seven (7) Business Days after resubmission to Landlord. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s request within the applicable review period set forth herein, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second request for approval (a “Second Request”), which shall specifically identify the Plans to which such request relates, and set forth in bold capital letters the following statement: IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THE PLANS SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED AND TENANT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO COMMENCE CONSTRUCTION OF THE ALTERATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED TO LANDLORD AND TO WHICH LANDLORD HAS FAILED TO TIMELY RESPOND. If Landlord fails to respond to a Second Request within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Landlord, the Plans or revisions thereto for which the Second Request is submitted shall be deemed to be approved by Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled to commence construction of the Alterations or portion thereof to which the Plans relate and which were approved by Landlord, provided that such Plans have (if required) been appropriately filed in accordance with any applicable Requirements (provided that if applicable Requirements require Landlord to sign an application in connection therewith, Landlord shall do so with reasonably promptness provided Landlord does not have any liability or expense in connection therewith), all permits and approvals required to be issued by any Governmental Authority as a prerequisite to the performance of such Alterations shall have been duly issued, and Tenant shall otherwise have complied with all applicable provisions of this Lease relating to the performance of such Alterations.

(c) Governmental Approvals. Tenant, at its expense, shall, as and when required, promptly obtain certificates of partial and final approval of such Alterations required by any Governmental Authority and shall, with all reasonable promptness after completion of any Alterations, furnish Landlord with copies thereof, together with “as-built” Plans, marked to reflect

field changes, provided such field changes are not substantial, for such Alterations prepared on an AutoCAD Computer Assisted Drafting and Design System (or such other system or medium as Landlord may reasonably accept), using naming conventions issued by the American Institute of Architects in June, 1990 (or such other naming conventions as Landlord may reasonably accept) and magnetic computer media of such record drawings and specifications translated in DWG format or another format reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord shall promptly and expeditiously cooperate with Tenant, at no cost or expense to Landlord, in obtaining any permits or approvals necessary from any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction in connection with the performance of Tenant’s Alterations.

(d) Hazardous Materials.

(i) Landlord represents to Tenant that to the best of Landlord’s knowledge there will be no Hazardous Materials in violation of applicable Requirements (i) in the 9th and 10th Floor Premises or the Building on the Commencement Date, (ii) in Tenant’s Roof Deck Area on the delivery thereof with the Secondary Base Building Roof Work and Tenant’s Roof Deck Work Substantially Complete), or (iii) in the Expansion Premises on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with any future approved Alterations, Requirements mandate that Hazardous Materials (defined as same on the date hereof) be abated, removed, encapsulated or remediated from within the Premises or Tenant’s Roof Deck Area and not core areas or areas around columns that are not typically accessible by tenants in connection with Alterations, Landlord shall, at its sole (but reasonable) cost and expense, perform such work as it deems necessary and as required by any Governmental Authority after notice (a “HazMat Work Notice”) from Tenant thereof to comply with Requirements (“Landlord’s HazMat Work”). Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the extent of such abatement. In the event Landlord is required to perform Landlord’s HazMat Work as aforesaid, Landlord shall diligently perform the same (using overtime work) at a time to be mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant will afford Landlord and its employees, contractors and agents access to the Premises at all reasonable times for the performance of Landlord’s HazMat Work and for the storage of materials reasonably required in connection therewith, and Tenant will avoid any unreasonable interference by any Tenant Party with the performance of such work. Upon Landlord’s request, all Tenant Parties shall vacate the Premises during the performance of Landlord’s HazMat Work (and Landlord shall not be obligated to perform Landlord’s HazMat Work if any Tenant Party fails to do so) and Tenant shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, remove or relocate Tenant’s Property in the Premises during the performance of Landlord’s HazMat Work so as not to unreasonably interfere with the performance of Landlord’s HazMat Work and to protect same against damage or loss during the performance of Landlord’s HazMat Work (and Landlord shall not be obligated to perform Landlord’s HazMat Work if any Tenant Party fails to do so). Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, there shall be no Rent abatement or allowance to Tenant or a diminution of rental value, no actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or in part, no relief from any of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, and no liability on the part of Landlord, by reason of inconvenience, delay, annoyance or injury to business or

to Tenant’s installations (or the performance of Alterations) or Tenant’s Property in the Premises arising from the performance of Landlord’s HazMat Work or the storage of any materials in connection therewith.

(iii) In furtherance of Landlord’s obligations set forth in Section 5.1(d)(ii) above with respect to the Premises, if Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the entire Premises or performing approved work and/or obtaining a required permit therefor (and Tenant shall not actually conduct business in the Premises or does not actually perform such work, as applicable) as a result of required Landlord’s HazMat Work, no Event of Default then exists, the Hazardous Materials required to be removed were not introduced by Tenant (or anyone acting by or through Tenant), and Landlord shall fail to substantially complete such HazMat Work within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the HazMat Work Notice (subject to Unavoidable Delay and/or Tenant Delay) and notice that Tenant is unable to conduct business in the entire Premises or perform (or to obtain required permit(s) for) approved work as the result of such (the “HazMat Work Abatement Date”), then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor, Tenant shall receive a credit against Fixed Rent in the amount equal to one (1) day of then Fixed Rent for the Premises per day for each day after the Landlord’s HazMat Work Abatement Date that Tenant is not occupying the Premises for the conduct of business until the Landlord’s HazMat Work is Substantially Complete or Tenant occupies the Premises for the conduct of business. If, however, Tenant shall continue to conduct business or perform work in the Premises during the period when such Landlord’s HazMat Work is required, then Tenant shall not receive any credit against Fixed Rent attributable thereto.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant shall only be prevented from conducting business or performing Alterations, as applicable, in a portion of the Premises (as opposed to the entire Premises) as a result of required Landlord’s HazMat Work, then if Landlord shall not substantially complete such Landlord’s HazMat Work on or prior to the HazMat Work Abatement Date, Tenant shall be entitled to receive, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor, the credit against Fixed Rent to which Tenant would be entitled pursuant to Section 5.1(d)(iii) above, provided that the same shall be prorated by multiplying the aggregate amount thereof by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the rentable square footage (“RSF”) of the portion of the Premises then leased by Tenant and affected by the applicable violation and the denominator of which shall be the total RSF of the Premises then leased by Tenant. If, however, Tenant shall continue to conduct business or perform Tenant’s Work in the applicable portion of the Premises during the period when such Landlord’s HazMat Work is required, then Tenant shall not receive any credit against Fixed Rent attributable thereto.

Section 5.2 Manner and Quality of Alterations. All Alterations shall be performed (a) in a good and workmanlike manner, (b) substantially in accordance with the Alteration Plans, and by contractors reasonably approved by Landlord, (c) in compliance with all Requirements, the terms of this Lease and all reasonable Building standard construction procedures and regulations then prescribed by Landlord, provided the same do not reduce Tenant’s rights hereunder other than to a de minimis extent, and provided, further, that any conflict between such procedures and regulations and the terms and conditions of this Lease, shall be resolved

in favor of the terms and conditions of this Lease, and (d) at Tenant’s expense. All materials and equipment shall be of first quality and at least equal to the applicable standards for the Building then established by Landlord, and no such materials or equipment (other than Tenant’s Property) shall be subject to any lien or other encumbrance. At Tenant’s request and if and to the extent Landlord maintains such a list, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a list of contractors (“Landlord’s Contractor List”), which shall contain the names of at least three (3) contractors for each trade other than in respect of any Building Systems. Tenant shall be required to use Landlord’s designated contractor(s) to perform any work connecting the premises to a building system up to the point of entry to the Premises, including, without limitation, Class E and fire alarm system work, and BMS System, and Landlord’s expediter, provided that such contractor(s) shall charge such rates as are substantially similar, customary and competitive when compared to other contractors performing such work for Comparable Buildings. If Tenant engages any contractor set forth on Landlord’s Contractor List, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent to such contractor, provided Tenant shall be required to obtain Landlord’s confirmation (which confirmation may be oral) that such contractor remains on Landlord’s Contractor List. If Landlord shall not then maintain a list of approved contractors for the Building, or if Tenant desires to use a contractor who is not named on such list, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any reputable contractor proposed by Tenant (except for those contractors performing work on Building Systems), provided such contractor shall provide Landlord upon written request with appropriate positive references and reasonable proof of financial responsibility reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving any request from Tenant for such approval, together with such references and proof, respond to such request. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s request within the applicable review period set forth in this Section 5.2 related to contractor approval, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second request for approval (a “Second Contractor Request”), which shall specifically identify the contractor to which such request relates, and set forth in bold capital letters the following statement: IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED AND TENANT SHALL BE ENTITLED TO USE SUCH CONTRACTOR FOR APPLICABLE WORK AT THE BUILDING. If Landlord fails to respond to a Second Contractor Request within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Landlord, the contractor for which the Second Contractor Request is submitted shall be deemed to be approved by Landlord and Tenant shall be entitled use such contractor for applicable work at the Building, provided the use of such contractor shall otherwise comply with all applicable provisions of this Lease relating to contractors performing services at the Building. At Tenant’s request and if and to the extent Landlord maintains such a list, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a list of contractors (containing at least 3 contractors for each trade other than in respect of any Building System) approved by Landlord (which list may change from time to time), who may perform on behalf of Tenant the types of Alterations described on such request. If Tenant engages any contractor set forth on such list, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent to such contractor, provided Tenant shall be required to obtain Landlord’s confirmation that such contractor remains on such list unless, prior to the execution of an agreement between Tenant (either directly or through another contractor or subcontractor) and such contractor (or, if no written agreement is entered into, prior to the commencement of work by the contractor), Landlord shall notify Tenant that such contractor has been removed from such list. If Landlord shall not then maintain a list of approved contractors for the Building or if Tenant desires to use a contractor who is not named on such list, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any reputable contractor proposed by Tenant (except for those contractors performing work on Building Systems), provided such contractor shall provide Landlord with appropriate positive references and proof of financial responsibility and insurance coverages reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

Section 5.3 Removal of Tenant’s Property. Tenant’s Property shall remain the property of Tenant and Tenant may remove the same at any time on or before the Expiration Date, as the same may be extended. On or prior to the Expiration Date, as the same may be extended, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost and expense, remove Specialty Installations and all of Tenant’s Property (other than cables or wires running from the basement of the Building to the Premises (or the Roof Deck Area), between the floors of the Premises (or the Roof Deck Area), or above any hung ceilings that have been designated by Landlord for future use by Tenant or another tenant of the Building) and close up any slab penetrations made by Tenant in the Premises, if any. For purposes of this lease, “Specialty Installation(s)” shall mean installations consisting of, but not limited to, kitchens (but not customary office pantries that do not have cooking equipment), executive bathrooms (but not any ADA compliant bathroom installed in addition to the core bathrooms), raised computers floors, computer installations, communication installations and wiring, security systems, fire detection and suppression systems, vaults, internal staircases, dumbwaiters, pneumatic tubes, vertical and horizontal transportation systems and other installations of similar character or nature that are above and beyond standard or typical office installations. The Slab Cut (as defined in Exhibit C), the Stairway/Lift (as defined in Exhibit C) shall not constitute a Specialty Installation (but all other slab cuts (including, without limitation, slab cuts required for any internal staircases between the office floors) shall be deemed to be Specialty Installations). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Skylight (as defined in Exhibit C) as depicted (in all material respects) on the Layout Plan shall not constitute a Specialty Installation and Tenant shall have no responsibility to remove the Skylight at the end of the Term, but shall be required to deliver it at the end of the Term in good condition, reasonable wear and tear and casualty excepted. Unless otherwise expressly communicated by Landlord to the contrary by notice to Tenant, on or before the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove all Specialty Installation(s) from the Premises and restore all slab and wall penetrations to the condition that existed prior to such penetrations (such removal and repair work being hereinafter referred to as the “Restoration Work”); provided, however, that no installations or alterations made as part of the Landlord’s Premises Work (as presently defined on Exhibit C attached hereto) shall be considered Specialty Installations (including without limitation, slab cuts for the stairs to the roof and hydraulic vertical lifts as part of Landlord’s Premises Work). Tenant’s obligation and liability with respect to the removal of Specialty Installation(s), and Tenant’s Property and the performance of the Restoration Work shall survive the Expiration Date (as same may be extended) or sooner expiration or termination of this lease. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, if in Tenant’s request for Landlord’s approval of the Alteration Plans for any Alteration, Tenant expressly requests in all CAPS AND BOLD FACE TYPE that Landlord notify Tenant of the particular Specialty Installations thereon along with Landlord’s approval of such plans, then Landlord, if it approves the Alterations Plan in question, shall also notify Tenant in such approval of those certain Specialty Installations thereon. Tenant shall repair and restore, in a good and workmanlike manner, any damage to the Building or the Building caused by Tenant’s removal of any Specialty Alterations or Tenant’s Property or closing of any slab penetrations by Tenant or on behalf of Tenant, and upon default thereof, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket cost of repairing or restoring such damage or Landlord’s demolition, as the case may be. Any Alterations or Tenant’s Property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and Landlord may retain or remove and dispose of same after five (5) Business Days written notice to Tenant, and repair and restore any damage caused thereby, at Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket cost and without accountability or liability to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord at any time may elect for Tenant to leave such Specialty Installations in the Premises and not remove same, in which case if Landlord will be removing such items, then Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional rent, within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord that such Specialty Installations

may remain, Landlord’s good faith estimate of the cost to remove such Specialty Installations that may remain. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if Tenant is obligated to remove any Specialty Alterations or close any slab penetrations identified by Landlord as Specialty Alterations (if not otherwise specifically identified in this Lease as such) prior to the Expiration Date as set forth herein and perform any repair/restoration work in connection therewith as described above in this Section 5.3), Tenant shall have the right not to perform such work (such work, collectively the “Expiration Date Work”) by providing notice to Landlord at least 9 months prior to the Expiration Date (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE) and by paying Landlord the actual out-of-pocket cost of performing such work (which shall include, without limitation, the employment by Landlord of a project manager) within 30 days after demand therefor, which obligation shall expressly survive the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its designee, upon demand, an administrative fee with respect to the performance of the Expiration Date Work and the scheduling of Building equipment, facilities and personnel in connection therewith, which fee shall be equal to 3% of the costs of the Expiration Date Work. In furtherance of the preceding sentence, at Landlord’s election, within 10 days following request from Landlord, and as a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to perform the Expiration Date Work, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, in cash, an amount equal to 125% of the estimated cost, as reasonably determined by Landlord after obtaining the arms-length bid from at least one contractor or service provider (which is not an affiliate of Landlord) with experience performing similar work, of the performance the Expiration Date Work (such amount, the “Estimated Expiration Date Work Amount”). Any Estimated Expiration Date Work Amount deposited with Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied by Landlord to the performance of the Expiration Date Work. If Landlord performs the Expiration Date Work, then during Landlord’s performance thereof, Landlord shall periodically reconcile the actual cost of the performance of the Expiration Date Work compared with the Estimated Expiration Date Work Amount deposited by Tenant with Landlord, and upon the determination of any overpayment or underpayment by Tenant, as the case may be, Landlord shall pay to Tenant any overpayment, or Tenant shall pay to Landlord any underpayment, as applicable, within 30 days after such determination and, if applicable, Tenant’s receipt of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor from Landlord. The Expiration Date Work performed by Landlord, if applicable, shall be performed by Landlord after the Expiration Date. In the event that (i) Tenant has elected to have Landlord perform the Expiration Date Work, (ii) Tenant has otherwise complied with the terms and conditions of this Section 5.3, (iii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, and (iv) Tenant has timely vacated the Premises, removed Tenant’s Property therefrom, and surrender the same to Landlord free of all tenancies and occupants, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in holdover pursuant to Section 18.2 hereof if Landlord has failed to complete the Expiration Date Work on or prior to the Expiration Date.

Section 5.4 Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant, at its expense, shall discharge any lien or charge recorded or filed against the Real Property in connection with any work done or claimed to have been done by or on behalf of, or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof by payment, filing the bond required by law or otherwise in accordance with law.

Section 5.5 Labor Relations. Tenant shall not employ, or permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic or laborer, or permit any materials to be delivered to or used in the Building, if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such employment, delivery or use will interfere or cause any conflict with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building by Landlord, Tenant or others. If such interference or conflict occurs, upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall cause all contractors, mechanics or

laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building immediately. Landlord confirms that no Building staff or employees are presently unionized. Landlord agrees to use and follow good construction practice in order to coordinate Landlord’s Work or Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work with any other work that either Landlord, or any other tenant at the Building, including Tenant, may be performing at the same time but without an obligation to use overtime labor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be permitted to use non-union labor in the performance of Alterations, including Tenant’s Initial Installations, provided all such labor shall be in harmony with all other workers in the Building and shall not create disruption or work stoppages.

Section 5.6 Tenant’s Costs. Except as expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of written request for same from Landlord together with supporting documentation therefor, all reasonable third-party out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection with any Alterations, including costs incurred in connection with (a) Landlord’s review of Alteration Plans for such Alterations (including review of requests for approval thereof) and (b) the provision of Building personnel during the performance of any Alteration(s), to operate elevators or otherwise to facilitate such Alterations. Tenant shall, upon request, provide Landlord with reasonable evidence of all amounts expended by it for Alterations (including any “soft costs”).

Section 5.7 Tenant’s Equipment. Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord prior to moving any heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures (collectively, “Equipment”) into or out of the Building and shall pay to Landlord any costs actually incurred by Landlord (without xxxx-up) in connection therewith. If such Equipment requires special handling, Tenant agrees (a) to employ only persons holding all necessary licenses to perform such work, (b) that all work performed in connection therewith shall comply with all applicable Requirements and (c) that such work shall be done only during hours reasonably designated by Landlord.

Section 5.8 Legal Compliance. The approval of Alteration Plans, or consent by Landlord to the making of any Alterations, does not constitute Landlord’s representation that such Plans or Alterations comply with any Requirements. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other party in connection with Landlord’s approval of any Alteration Plans, or Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s performing any Alterations. If any Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant, require Landlord to make any alterations or improvements to any part of the Buildings in order to comply with any Requirements, Tenant shall pay all reasonable actual costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such alterations or improvements.

Section 5.9 Floor Load. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises that is in violation of Requirements or that exceeds the particular live load the floor load was designed to carry. To the extent Tenant’s floor load requires the floors (or any portion thereof) of the Premises to be reinforced, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs related thereto (and any changes made by Tenant in connection therewith shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease); provided that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval to such reinforcement so long as same is performed using good and customary construction and engineering practices.

Section 5.10 Security System. Landlord hereby approves in concept the installation by Tenant of a customary security system within the Premises which is compatible with the Building System, subject to Landlord’s receipt and approval of final plans and specifications therefor (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), all of

which shall be performed in accordance with all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Lease

Section 5.11 Contemplated Alterations. Without in any way limiting Tenant’s obligation to submit Plans and Landlord’s right to review and approve of Alterations as set forth above in the applicable Work Letter and Tenant’s obligation to comply with all applicable terms and conditions of this Lease in connection therewith, Landlord acknowledges in concept only that in connection with the Premises Build-Out Work and the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work, Tenant contemplates installing internal staircases to connect the 8th floor to the 9th floor and the 9th floor to the 10th floor floors which internal staircases may require structural reinforcement of the respective floors if reasonably recommended by Tenant’s structural engineer (the “Internal Staircase Work”), which reinforcement installation shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.

Section 5.12 Early Access. Tenant shall have the right from time to time to come onto the Premises and Tenant’s Roof Deck Area for inspections and measurements and for up to 30 days immediately prior to the date of Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Premises Work to access the Premises and Tenant’s Roof Deck Area, upon prior notice to Landlord at times reasonably designated by Landlord, for purposes of taking measurements, conducting due diligence and inspections thereof, installing wiring and cabling, installing workstations, building-out the IT room, and accessing the IT closets in the Premises at the same time that Landlord performs Landlord’s Premises Work (collectively, the “Early Access Work”). Landlord and Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other so as to permit Tenant’s access and Landlord’s performance of work in the Premises and Tenant’s Roof Deck Area at the same time. If Tenant’s access to the Premises or Tenant’s Roof Deck Area interferes with the performance by Landlord of Landlord’s Premises Work, Landlord shall, notwithstanding the foregoing, have the right to notify Tenant of such interference (which notification may be oral) and Tenant shall immediately discontinue such interference. Such access to the Premises or Tenant’s Roof Deck Area by Tenant prior to the Commencement Date shall not be deemed to be use and occupancy by Tenant of the Premises nor Tenant having taken possession of the Premises for purposes of determining the Commencement Date but shall otherwise be subject to all of the terms of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be entitled to notice of a claimed Tenant Delay as and to the extent provided in a Work Letter.

The Air-Package HVAC Units are and shall at all times remain the property of Landlord, and at the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Air-Package HVAC Units. Tenant shall not make any changes or additions to the Air-Package HVAC Units. In the event the Air-Package HVAC Units need repair which is not fully covered by the Maintenance Contract (at no additional cost), or replacement, then Landlord shall be responsible for such repair or replacement, as the case may be, at Tenant’s cost except replacement of “major” component parts shall be at Landlord’s sole cost, provided the need for such replacement, as the case may be, did not result from the negligence, willful misconduct, misuse, or improper use of Tenant or any Tenant Party.

ARTICLE 7
INCREASES IN TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES

Section 7.1 Definitions. For the purposes of this Article 7 with respect to Taxes, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(a) “Assessed Valuation” shall mean the amount for which the Building is assessed pursuant to the applicable provisions of the City Charter and the Administrative Code of New York, or any successor Requirements, for the purpose of imposition of Taxes.

(b) Intentionally Omitted.

(d) “Comparison Year” shall mean each Tax Year all or a portion of which occurs during the Term, commencing with the Tax Year immediately following the Base Tax Year.

(e) “Statement” shall mean a written statement containing a comparison of (i) the Base Taxes and the Taxes for any Comparison Year.

(f) “Tax Year” shall mean the twelve month period from July 1 through June 30 (or such other period as hereinafter may be duly adopted by the City of New York as its fiscal year for real estate tax purpose).

(g) “Taxes” shall mean (i) all real estate taxes, assessments (including any ICAP benefits and any assessments made as a result of the Building being within a business improvement), and other governmental levies, impositions or charges, whether general, special, ordinary, extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, which may be assessed, levied or imposed upon all or any part of the Real Property, and (ii) all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and experts’ and other witnesses’ fees) actually incurred in contesting any of the foregoing or the Assessed Valuation of the Building (such expenses shall be included in Base Taxes if incurred during the Base Tax Year, or included in Taxes if incurred in a Comparison Year). Taxes shall not include (x) fines, interest or penalties together with any interest or costs with respect to the foregoing incurred by Landlord as a result of Landlord’s late payment of Taxes or failure to pay any Taxes required to be paid, (y) capital levy, franchise, transfer, gift, inheritance, succession, estate or net municipal, state or federal income taxes imposed upon Landlord or tenants of the Building, or (z) unincorporated business taxes, income or profit tax, or any transfer or mortgage recording tax imposed upon any owner of the Real Property or Building. If Landlord elects to pay any assessment in annual installments, then (i) such assessment shall be deemed to have been so divided and to be payable in the maximum number of installments permitted by law, and (ii) there shall be deemed included in Taxes for each Comparison Year the installments of such assessment becoming payable during such Comparison Year. If at any time the methods of taxation prevailing on the Commencement Date shall be altered so that in lieu of or as an addition to the whole or any part of Taxes, there shall be assessed, levied or imposed (1) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge based on the income or rents received from the Building whether or not wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise, (2) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon all or any part of the Building and imposed upon Landlord, (3) a license fee measured by the rents, or (4) any other tax, assessment, levy, imposition, charge or license fee however described or imposed, then to the extent the same shall be similarly treated as Taxes

by owners of Comparable Buildings all such alternative or additional taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, charges or license fees or the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be Taxes.

Section 7.2 Tenant’s Tax Payment.

(a) If the Taxes payable for any Tax Year or portion of a Tax Year beginning with the Tax Year commencing immediately following the Base Tax Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such excess (“Tenant’s Tax Payment”) as Additional Rent. For each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax Year (the “Tax Estimate”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the 1st day of each month prior to and during such Comparison Year (but not more than six (6) months prior to the start of such Comparison Year) an amount equal to 1/12th of the Tax Estimate for such Tax Year (“Tenant’s Monthly Tax Payment”). If Landlord furnishes a Tax Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (i) until the 1st day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the 1st day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.2(a) for the last month of the preceding Comparison Year; (ii) promptly after the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of the Tax Estimate previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of the Tax Estimate to be made for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Tax Estimate, and (x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within 30 days after receipt of written demand, or (y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Rent next coming due hereunder (or if there shall be no subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days; and (iii) on the 1st day of the month following ten (10) Business Days’ notice, and on the 1st day of each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year (and the next comparison year until a new estimate or statement is provided), Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of the Tax Estimate. Landlord may, at any time, furnish to Tenant a revised Tax Estimate for such Comparison Year, and in such case, Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year shall be adjusted and any deficiencies paid (including, without limitations as a result of late billing of Tenant) or overpayments credited, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. Within 180 days after the end of each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement of Taxes applicable to Tenant’s Tax Payment payable for such Comparison Year together with copies of the actual Tax bills used in connection with such calculation (if received), and (A) if such Statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Tax Payment due for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency within 30 days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant, or (B) if such Statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were more than such Tenant’s Tax Payment, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, if any (or if there shall be no subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days). If there shall be any increase in the Taxes for any Tax Year during the Term, whether during or after such Tax Year, or if there shall be any decrease in the Taxes for any Tax Year, Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year shall be appropriately adjusted and any deficiencies paid or overpayments credited (or repaid), as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. Landlord agrees that the Base Tax Year shall be the first Tax Year that ICAP benefits are obtained and applicable for the Real Property. Until a Base Tax Year is so determined, Tenant

shall have no obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of any Taxes, unless ICAP benefits are not obtained (or are obtained but withdrawn) on or before the 2020/2021 Tax Year, then in such case the Base Tax Year shall be the 2020/2021 Tax Year.

(b) Only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce the Assessed Valuation of the Building and the filing of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord’s consent shall constitute an Event of Default. If the Base Taxes are reduced, the Additional Rent previously paid or payable on account of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder for all Comparison Years shall be recomputed on the basis of such reduction, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand therefore, any deficiency between the amount of such Additional Rent previously computed and paid by Tenant to Landlord, and the amount due as a result of such recomputation. If the Base Taxes are increased, then Landlord shall either pay to Tenant, or at Landlord’s election, credit against subsequent payments of Rent due, if any (or if there shall be no subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within twenty (20) Business Days), the amount by which such Additional Rent previously paid on account of Tenant’s Tax Payment exceeds the amount actually due as a result of such recomputation. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes for any Comparison Year, Landlord shall, at its election, either pay to Tenant, or credit against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder (or if there shall be no subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within twenty (20) Business Days), an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the refund, net of any reasonable, actual, out of pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund, which amount shall not exceed Tenant’s Tax Payment paid for such Comparison Year. Landlord shall not be obligated to file any application or institute any proceeding seeking a reduction in Taxes or the Assessed Valuation. The benefit of any exemption or abatement relating to all or any part of the Building shall accrue to the benefit of Landlord provided, however, that Taxes for the Base Tax Year and all Comparison Years shall be computed by taking into account any such exemption or abatement.

(c) Tenant shall be responsible for any applicable occupancy or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted to the extent Tenant is primarily liable for same or if applicable to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises and, if such tax is payable by Landlord, Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s written request therefor.

(d) Tenant shall be obligated to make Tenant’s Tax Payment regardless of whether Tenant may be exempt from the payment of any taxes as the result of any reduction, abatement, or exemption from Taxes granted or agreed to by any Governmental Authority, or by reason of Tenant’s diplomatic or other tax exempt status.

Section 7.3 Operating Expense Definitions. For the purposes of this Article 7 with respect to Operating Expenses, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

(a) “Base Operating Expenses” shall mean the Operating Expenses as stated in Article 1 for the “Base Expense Year”.

(b) “Comparison Year” shall mean with respect to Operating Expenses, each calendar year commencing subsequent to the first day of the Base Expense Year.

(c) “Operating Expenses” shall mean the aggregate of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the ownership,

operation, repair and maintenance of the Real Property, including the rental value of Landlord’s Building office and capital improvements to the Building incurred after the Base Expense Year only if such capital improvement either (i) is reasonably intended to result in a reduction in Operating Expenses (as for example, a labor-saving improvement) provided, the amount included in Operating Expenses in any Comparison Year from and after the Commencement Date shall not exceed an amount equal to the savings reasonably anticipated to result from the installation and operation of such improvement, and/or (ii) is made during any Comparison Year to cause the Building to be in compliance with Requirements enacted after the Commencement Date. Such capital improvements shall be amortized (with interest at the Base Rate) on a straight-line basis over such period as Landlord shall reasonably determine in accordance with GAAP or other customary and uniform ownership accounting practices, and the amount included in Operating Expenses in any Comparison Year shall be equal to the annual amortized amount. Operating Expenses shall not include any Excluded Expenses. If during all or part of the Base Expense Year or any Comparison Year, Landlord shall not furnish any particular item(s) of work or service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense) to any leasable portions of the Building for any reason, then, for purposes of computing Operating Expenses for such period, the amount included in Operating Expenses for such period shall be increased by an amount equal to the costs and expenses that would have been reasonably incurred by Landlord during such period if Landlord had furnished such item(s) of work or service to such portion of the Building. In determining the amount of Operating Expenses for the Base Expense Year or any Comparison Year, if less than 100% of the Building rentable area is occupied by tenants at any time during the Base Expense Year or any such Comparison Year, Operating Expenses shall be determined for the Base Expense Year or such Comparison Year to be an amount equal to the like expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been 100% throughout the Base Expense Year or such Comparison Year. For each calendar year or portion thereof occurring during the Term (including the Base Expense Year), Operating Expenses shall include a management fee of three percent (3%) of all rents and other charges made to and/or collected from all office tenants of the Building during such calendar year (or which would have been made to and/or collected if the Building was one hundred percent (100%) occupied with office tenants paying rent as provided under their respective leases for the entire year, assuming for purposes of this calculation that rents and other charges payable in respect of any unoccupied office space would be payable at the average rate of rents and other charges payable in respect of all occupied office space, in each case on a per rentable square foot basis, for such calendar year), but excepting in any event rent and other charges collected from tenants or other permitted occupants with respect to Building retail spaces, the provisions of this clause to apply regardless of the actual management fee, or increases in the actual management fee, incurred by Landlord during such calendar year or portion thereof (i.e., any management fee paid by Landlord in excess of the management fee permitted under this clause shall not be an Operating Expense).

(d) “Excluded Expenses” shall mean: (a) Taxes; (b) franchise or income taxes imposed upon Landlord; (c) mortgage amortization and interest; (d) leasing commissions; (e) the cost of tenant installations and decorations incurred in connection with preparing space for any Building tenant, including work letters and concessions; (f) the cost of the Base Building Work, (g) any amounts payable for rent under Superior Leases, if any except similar operating expenses; (h) wages, salaries and benefits paid to any persons above the grade of property manager or chief engineer and their immediate supervisor; (i) legal and accounting fees relating to (A) disputes with tenants, prospective tenants or other occupants of the Building, (B) disputes with purchasers, prospective purchasers, mortgagees or prospective mortgagees of the Building or the Real Property or any part of either, or (C) negotiations of leases, contracts of sale or mortgages; (j) costs of services provided to other tenants of the Building on a “rent-inclusion”

standard “all risk” policy of insurance (regardless of whether Landlord has in fact maintained such insurance) other than commercially reasonable deductible amounts or self-retention, in each case consistent with amounts carried by landlords of comparable office buildings or the exercise by government authorities of the right of eminent domain (whether taking is total or partial) or condemnation, to the extent Landlord is compensated therefore and in either case, subject to the limitations on reimbursements for capital expenditures; (kk) costs incurred in connection with the financing or refinancing of the Real Property or any interest (direct or indirect) in Landlord, or a sale or transfer of all or any portion of the Real Property (including the acquisition or sale of air rights, transferable development rights, easements or other real property interests) or any interest therein or in any Person of whatever tier owing an interest therein (including without limitation any legal fees and expenses, third party reports, title policies and compliance costs and expenses);payments made to tenants or their landlords to take over leases; and (ll) the cost of capital improvements other than those expressly included in Operating Expenses pursuant to Article 7.

(e) “Statement” with respect to Operating Expenses shall mean a reasonably detailed and customary statement containing a comparison of the Base Operating Expenses and the Operating Expenses for any Comparison Year, which shall include major categories of expenses and be reasonably similar to such statements provided at Comparable Buildings as reasonably determined by Landlord.

Section 7.4 Tenant’s Operating Payment. (a) If the Operating Expenses payable for any Comparison Year exceed the Base Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such excess (“Tenant’s Operating Payment”). For each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year (the “Expense Estimate”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the 1st day of each month during such Comparison Year an amount equal to 1/12 of the Expense Estimate (“Tenant’s Monthly Operating Payment”). If Landlord furnishes an Expense Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (i) until the 1st day of the month following the month in which the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the 1st day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.4 during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year, (ii) promptly after the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment to be made for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Expense Estimate, and (A) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, or (B) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, and (iii) on the 1st day of the month following the month in which the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant, and on the 1st day of each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12 of the Expense Estimate.(b) Landlord shall endeavor to furnish to Tenant a final Statement for the immediately preceding Comparison Year on or before July 1st of each Comparison Year. If the Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant under this Section 7.4 exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder. If the Statement shows that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within 10 Business Days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant.

Section 7.5 Non-Waiver; Disputes

(a) Landlord’s failure to render any Statement on a timely basis with respect to any Comparison Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a Statement with respect to such Comparison Year or any subsequent Comparison Year, nor shall the rendering of a Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected Statement for that Comparison Year, provided, however, in no event shall Tenant have any liability hereunder with respect to any Statement or corrected Statement not delivered to Tenant within two (2) years following the Comparison Year in question, or earlier termination of the Lease (except for Taxes for a Comparison Year that are then being contested by Landlord in accordance with Section 7.2 (b), in which event the foregoing two (2) year period shall commence on the Expiration Date, or early termination date, as the case may be, and shall end on the date that a final determination is rendered by the Department of Taxation and Finance of the City of New York for the Comparison Year contested.

(b) Each Statement sent to Tenant shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless Tenant (i) pays to Landlord when due the amount set forth in such Statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s right to dispute such Statement, and (ii) within 120 days after such Statement is sent requests to review backup information in respect of such Statement, provided, however, that Tenant’s right to review and/or dispute the Statement for the Base Expense Year shall be exercised, if at all, concurrently with Tenant’s first review of the Statement for the first Comparison Year. Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall provide Tenant or its representative any information as shall reasonably be necessary to enable Tenant to assess the accuracy of the Operating Expenses applicable to such Statement and, if applicable, the Operating Expenses for the Base Expense Year. Each Statement shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless Tenant (or its representative) shall, within 90 days after such information is provided to Tenant, send a written notice to Landlord objecting to such Statement and specifying the reasons for Tenant’s claim that such Statement is incorrect. Tenant agrees that Tenant will not employ, in connection with any review or dispute under this Lease, any person or entity who is to be compensated in whole or in part, on a contingency fee basis. If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute as to the correctness of such Statement within 30 days following such notice of objection, either party may refer the issues raised to a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, and the decision of such accountants shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant. In connection therewith, Tenant and such accountants shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties agree not to disclose to any third party any of the information obtained in connection with such review. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses relating to such procedure, unless such accountants determine that Landlord overstated Operating Expenses by more than 5% for such Comparison Year, in which case Landlord shall pay such fees and expenses. Except as provided in this Section, Tenant shall have no right whatsoever to dispute by judicial proceeding or otherwise the accuracy of any Statement. If the parties hereto are unable to mutually agree to a nationally recognized accounting firm, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such accountants by the American Arbitration Association.

Section 7.6 Proration. If the Commencement Date is not January 1, the Additional Rent for the applicable Comparison Year shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the year from the Commencement Date to the following December 31. If the Expiration Date occurs on a date other than December 31, any Additional Rent under this Article 7 for the Comparison Year in which such Expiration Date occurs shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the year from January 1 to the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration or earlier

termination of this Lease, any Additional Rent under this Article 7 shall be adjusted or paid within 30 days after submission of the Statement for the last Comparison Year.

Section 7.7 No Reduction in Rent. In no event shall any decrease in Taxes or Operating Expenses in any Comparison Year below the Base Taxes or Base Operating Expenses, respectfully, result in a reduction in the Fixed Rent or any other component of Additional Rent payable hereunder.

ARTICLE 8
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

Section 8.1 Compliance with Requirements.

(a) Tenant’s Compliance. Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall comply with all Requirements applicable to the Premises and/or Tenant’s use or occupancy thereof, including, without limitation, the installation of a life safety system in the Premises from the point of connection into the base Building life safety system, in accordance with all applicable Requirements governing the installation, maintenance and operation of such system (subject to the terms of Article 5 above) provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any Requirements requiring any structural alterations to the Building or alterations to Building Systems beyond the point of connection to the Premises, unless the application of such Requirements arises from (i) the specific manner and nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, as distinct from general office use, (ii) Alterations made by Tenant, (iii) a breach by Tenant of any of the provisions of this Lease, or (iv) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant. Subject to the provisions of Article 12, any repairs or alterations required to be made by Tenant for compliance with applicable Requirements to the extent required by this Section 8.1(a) shall be made at Tenant’s expense (1) by Tenant in compliance with Article 5 if such repairs or alterations are nonstructural and do not affect any Building System outside of the Premises and to the extent such repairs or alterations do not affect areas outside the Premises, or (2) by Landlord if such repairs or alterations are structural or affect any Building System or to the extent such repairs or alterations affect areas outside the Premises, provided, however, the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1(a) shall not be construed to require Tenant to perform structural Alterations, unless the same are required due to clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence. If Tenant obtains written notice or otherwise has actual knowledge of any failure to comply with any Requirements applicable to the Premises (where Tenant has a duty to comply with such Requirements), Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice thereof. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord for any actual costs, loss, injury, expense or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by reason of such non-compliance that is the responsibility of Tenant as provided in this Section 8.1(a). If Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, based on Tenant’s pro-rata share of any partial floor of a Building that it occupies violates the density requirements set forth in the existing TCO or Certificate of Occupancy for such Building for any full floor or the portion of such floor that it occupies, then Tenant shall either (i) modify the Building’s TCO or Certificate of Occupancy, as the case may be, to permit such occupancy, or (ii) take all action necessary to put the Premises in compliance with such density requirements (i.e., if the TCO or Certificate of Occupancy permits 100 persons on a floor and Tenant occupies one-half of such floor, then Tenant shall not be permitted to have more than 50 people occupy such floor).

(b) Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not cause (or permit): (i) any Hazardous Materials to be brought into the Building, (ii) the storage or use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Building or the Premises (subject to the second sentence of this

Section 8.1[b]), in the case of clause (i) and (ii), and then in any manner other than in full compliance with any Requirements), or (iii) the escape, disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials brought into the premises by or through any Tenant Party within or in the vicinity of the Building (provided none of the foregoing shall apply to Hazardous Materials in the Building as of the Commencement Date). Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Tenant’s use and storage of any Hazardous Materials customarily used in the ordinary course of Permitted Use or in connection with Alterations, provided such use is customary and in accordance with all Requirements and consistent with Building Standard. Tenant shall be responsible, at its expense, for all matters directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Building which is caused or permitted by a Tenant Party. Tenant shall provide to Landlord copies of all communications received by Tenant with respect to any Requirements relating to Hazardous Materials, and/or any claims made in connection therewith. Landlord or its agents may perform non-invasive environmental inspections of the Premises at all reasonable times upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency, in which case the inspection may be performed at any time and without advance notice to Tenant); provided, that any such access by Landlord and/or its agents shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, including using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises.

(c) Landlord’s Compliance. Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall comply with (or cause to be complied with) all Requirements applicable to the Common Areas and the Building which are not the obligation of Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof and/or the need for such compliance was not caused by Tenant, to the extent that non-compliance (i) would impair Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use (as opposed to Tenant’s particular manner of use of the Premises) and Tenant’s Roof Deck Area for the RDA Permitted Uses, or (ii) would threaten the health and safety of Tenant and Tenant Parties, (iii) would delay Tenant’s ability to start or finish any Alterations, (iv) would result in the imposition upon Tenant or any Tenant Party of civil or criminal penalties or (v) would violate any insurance policy maintained by Tenant or render the same null and void. Landlord represents that (A) the Premises on the Substantial Completion Date will be in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws and requirements of public authorities (including, without limitation, the ADA in respect of access thereto) having jurisdiction over the Building and (B) Tenant’s Roof Deck Area on the Substantial Completion Date for Tenant’s Roof Work and the Secondary Base Building Roof Work will be in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws and requirements of public authorities (including, without limitation, the ADA) having jurisdiction over the Building. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Landlord shall have no obligation to obtain a public assembly permit in respect of Tenant’s Roof Deck Area and/or in connection with the Roof Work, and (ii) whether or not a public assembly permit is obtained shall not affect the Commencement Date or Rent Commencement Date.

(d) Landlord’s Insurance. Tenant shall not cause or knowingly permit any action or condition that would (i) invalidate or conflict with Landlord’s insurance policies provided the same shall be commercially reasonable, (ii) violate applicable rules, regulations and guidelines of the Fire Department, Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any other authority having jurisdiction over the Building, (iii) cause an increase in the premiums of fire insurance for the Building over that payable with respect to Comparable Buildings (unless Tenant pays such increase), or (iv) result in Landlord’s insurance companies’ refusing to insure the Building or any property therein in amounts and against risks as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord hereby represents that, to the best of Landlord’s actual knowledge as of the date hereof, Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use and the Tenant’s Roof Deck Area for the

RDA Permitted Use (i) does not violate any condition of Landlord’s insurance policies referred to in this Article 8, and (ii) will not cause an increase in the rate of fire insurance applicable to the Building to an amount higher than it otherwise would be. If fire insurance premiums for the Building increase as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.1, Landlord shall provide reasonable proof thereof and Tenant shall promptly cure such failure and reimburse Landlord for the actual cost of the increased fire insurance premiums paid by Landlord as a result of such failure by Tenant. For purposes of clarity, Tenant acknowledges that Tenant’s failure to so promptly cure shall be a default hereunder.

(e) Certain Violations If the existence of any violations of Requirements noted of record against the Real Property (other than any such violations created by any Tenant Party or which will be cured by Tenant by the performance of the Initial Installations) shall actually delay (or prevent) Tenant from obtaining any governmental permits, consents, approvals or other documentation required by Tenant for (A) the performance of any Initial Installation or Alteration affecting a full floor or more, or (B) the lawful occupancy of any portion of the Premises upon completion of any Initial Installations or Alterations affecting a full floor or more, therein (it being understood that the imposition of conditions by a Governmental Authority requiring the cure of any such violation as a condition precedent to obtaining any such governmental permits, consents, approvals or other documentation which shall so actually delay Tenant from obtaining any required governmental permits, consents, approvals or other documentations shall be deemed such a prevention or delay), then, upon the giving of notice by Tenant to Landlord of such prevention or delay and of the applicable violations, (x) Landlord shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion the cure and removal of record of such violations, (y) Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of rent equal to the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent allocable to the affected portion of the Premises for the period commencing on the date Tenant gives to Landlord notice of such prevention or delay and ending on the earlier of the (i) date Tenant is no longer prevented from obtaining such governmental permit, consent or approval (ii) the date Tenant obtains such governmental permit, consent or approval or a waiver of such requirement continuing thereafter for the duration of such prevention or delay, and (iii) the date Tenant commences or continues the performance of such affected work or occupies the Premises for the conduct of business.

Section 8.2 Tenant Fire and Life Safety; Sprinkler. If the Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any Governmental Authority or any of Landlord’s insurers requires any modifications and/or alterations be made or any additional equipment be supplied in connection with the sprinkler system or fire alarm and life-safety system serving the Premises or Building by reason of Tenant’s manner of use or occupancy of the Premises (as opposed to mere Office Use), or any Alterations performed by Tenant, or Tenant’s Property, or other contents of the Premises (which are not customary office contents), Landlord (to the extent outside of the Premises) or Tenant (to the extent within the Premises) shall make such modifications and/or Alterations, and supply such additional equipment, in either case at Tenant’s cost and expense.

Section 8.3 Landlord Fire and Life Safety; Sprinkler. Landlord shall maintain, repair and replace, if necessary, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, the Building Systems situated outside of the Premises, including, but not limited to, the main sprinkler valves and risers, base building fire alarm systems and devices. In addition, Landlord shall also provide sufficient points of connection to the base Building fire alarm system for Tenant’s fire alarm input and output devices as well as for Tenant sub-systems (e.g., pre-action sprinkler system), in compliance with all applicable New York City code Requirements. Any modification to the base Building infrastructure shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, unless such modification is necessitated by reason of Tenant’s Alteration(s), gross negligence or willful misconduct. In

connection with Tenant’s performance of any Alterations, Tenant shall not be required, but shall be permitted, to perform daily drain-downs of the sprinkler system, at Tenant’s cost and expense in accordance with all applicable Requirements.

ARTICLE 9
SUBORDINATION

Section 9.1 Subordination and Attornment.

(a) This Lease is subject and subordinate to all Mortgages and Superior Leases (now and/or hereafter), and, at the request of any Mortgagee or Lessor, Tenant shall attorn to such Mortgagee or Lessor, its successors in interest or any purchaser in a foreclosure sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that this Lease shall then be in full force and effect and no Event of Default shall then exist, then as a condition to Tenant’s obligation to subordinate this Lease to any future Mortgage or Superior Lease, Landlord shall secure from any future Mortgagee or Superior Lessor, as applicable, at no cost or expense of Landlord, a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) in a reasonable and customary form (and Tenant agrees that the form of SNDA attached hereto as Exhibit N or a form substantially comparable thereto (the “Approved SNDA Form”) is reasonable and customary) provided that Tenant shall execute and deliver any such SNDA in such Approved SNDA Form within ten (10) days following Landlord’s request therefor, time being of the essence, failing which this Lease shall be deemed to be subordinate pursuant to the terms of this Article 9.

(b) Subject to Section 9.1(a) above, if a Lessor or Mortgagee or any other person or entity shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or the delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of the successor landlord and upon such successor landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment and to recognize Tenant’s interest under this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned to and recognized such successor landlord as Landlord under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 9.1 are self-operative and require no further instruments to give effect hereto; provided, however, that Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request (i) evidencing such attornment, (ii) setting forth the terms and conditions of Tenant’s tenancy, and (iii) containing such other terms and conditions as may be reasonably required by such Mortgagee or Lessor, provided such terms and conditions do not increase the Rent, increase Tenant’s other obligations or adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease, in each case beyond a de minimis extent and are in accordance with the Approved SNDA Form.

(c) Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Lease subject to the terms of the SNDA entered into by Tenant and such successor landlord (substantially as set forth in the Approved SNDA Form with reasonable modifications to reflect completion of Landlord’s Work and other applicable changes (whether or not executed)).

(d) Tenant shall from time to time within ten (10) Business Days of request from Landlord execute and deliver any documents or instruments that may be reasonably required by any Mortgagee or Lessor to confirm any subordination.

Section 9.2 Mortgage or Superior Lease Defaults. Any Mortgagee may elect that this Lease shall have priority over the Mortgage and, upon notification to Tenant by such Mortgagee, this Lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Mortgage, regardless of the date of this Lease. In connection with any financing of the Real Property, Tenant shall consent to any reasonable modifications of this Lease requested by any lending institution, provided such modifications do not increase the Rent or increase the other obligations, or materially decrease Landlord’s obligations, or adversely affect the rights, of Tenant under this Lease.

Section 9.3 Tenant’s Termination Right. As long as any Superior Lease or Mortgage exists, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of Landlord until (a) Tenant shall have given notice of such act or omission to all Lessors and/or Mortgagees of which it has been provided actual notice, and (b) a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 120 days) shall have elapsed following the giving of notice of such default and the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods (unless such act or omission is not capable of being remedied within a reasonable period of time), during which period such Lessors and/or Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy such act or omission and thereafter diligently proceed to so remedy such act or omission. If any Lessor or Mortgagee elects to remedy such act or omission of Landlord, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease so long as such Lessor or Mortgagee is proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect such remedy (not to exceed 120 days). This Section 9.3 does not apply to Tenant’s ability to terminate this Lease in accordance with Sections 11.5, 11.6, and 12.1(d) or in connection with a termination permitted by Section 10.1(b).

Section 9.4 Provisions. The provisions of this Article 9 shall (a) inure to the benefit of Landlord, any future owner of the Building or the Real Property, Lessor or Mortgagee and any sublessor.

Section 9.5 Future Condominium Declaration. This Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder are and will be subject and subordinate to any condominium declaration, by-laws and other instruments (collectively, the “Declaration”) which may be recorded in order to subject the Building to a condominium form of ownership pursuant to Article 9-B of the New York Real Property Law or any successor Requirement, provided that the Declaration does not by its terms increase the Rent, materially increase Tenant’s non-Rent obligations or materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease. At Landlord’s request, and subject to the foregoing proviso, Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment of this Lease confirming such subordination and modifying this Lease to conform to such condominium regime and the condominium board delivers a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant

Section 9.6 Current Mortgagee SNDA. This Lease shall be binding on the parties upon full execution and delivery hereof but shall not be effective until delivery of an SNDA which meets the standard sets forth in Section 9.1(a) in the Approved SNDA Form from Landlord’s current Mortgagee. If Landlord shall fail to deliver to Tenant such an SNDA from its current Mortgagee within 60 days following the date on which this lease is fully-executed and delivered by Tenant and Landlord, Tenant shall have the right for 10 days after the expiration of such 60-day period to either waive the requirement of delivery of an SNDA or cancel this Lease by giving Landlord notice of such cancellation election (time being of the essence), whereupon this Lease shall become null and void as of the date which is 10 days after the giving of such notice of cancellation unless Landlord delivers such SNDA within 10 days after Tenant gave such cancellation notice, in which case Tenant’s cancellation notice shall be void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The failure by Tenant to expressly and timely cancel this Lease

as aforesaid within such 10-day period shall constitute a waiver by Tenant of any right to cancel this Lease on account of the non-delivery of such an SNDA and this Lease shall thereafter be fully enforceable and not subject to cancellation.

ARTICLE 10
SERVICES

Section 10.1 Electricity.

(a) Landlord shall redistribute or furnish electricity to or for the use of Tenant in the 9th and 10th Floor Premises (but not Tenant’s Roof Deck Area, subject to Landlord’s Premises Work) for the operation of Tenant’s electrical systems and equipment in the Premises, at a level sufficient to accommodate a load of six (6) xxxxx per usable foot on a connected load basis (excluding usage for base Building Systems including heating, ventilation and air conditioning) (the “Electrical Capacity”). Any electrical distribution work a part of Landlord’s Premises Work shall be Premises Build-Out Work, except work to bring the Electric Capacity to the floor of the 9th and 10th Floor Premises or that is required in connection with Base Building Work, and any electrical distribution work a part of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work shall be Expansion Build-Out Work, except work to bring the Electric Capacity to the floor of the Expansion Premises. Landlord shall redistribute or furnish the electricity provided for herein to the electrical closets servicing each floor of the Premises, and subject to all applicable provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to redistribute such electricity within the Premises in Tenant’s discretion, except to the extent that such redistribution would cause damage to or overloading of the Electrical Equipment (as hereinafter defined) and wiring of the Building as reasonably determined by Landlord, subject to the following sentence. In the event Tenant surrenders a portion of the Premises to Landlord, whether by recapture or otherwise, Tenant shall surrender such portion with a reasonable and proportionate amount of Electrical Capacity allocable thereto. Any such redistribution shall be deemed a Specialty Installation.

(b) Submetering. Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, prior to the Commencement Date, provide at least one (1) submeter on each floor of the Premises, to measure Tenant’s electrical consumption therein, which submeters Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, maintain throughout the Term, as the same may be extended. Tenant shall effective the Commencement Date, pay to Landlord, from time to time, but no more frequently than monthly, for its consumption of electricity at the Premises, a sum equal the product obtained by multiplying 103% of (i) the Cost Per Kilowatt Hour, and (ii) the actual number of kilowatt hours of electric current consumed by Tenant in such billing period. If any tax is imposed upon Landlord’s receipts from the sale or resale of electricity to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such tax if and to the extent permitted by law as if Tenant were the ultimate consumer of such electricity. Bills for such amounts shall be rendered to Tenant in writing at such times as Landlord may elect, but not more frequently than monthly and at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof. Landlord shall not terminate electricity service to the Premises until replacement metering is in place and operational. Tenant shall not be obligated or liable to double pay any particular sales taxes in respect of charges for electricity (and Tenant shall not double pay any costs related to a demand charge due to the fact that more than one such meter measures electricity to the Premises). Landlord agrees to maintain a valid resale certificate at any time during the Term that Landlord is reselling (on a submetered basis) electricity to Tenant for use in the Premises.

(c) Tenant shall furnish, install and replace, as required and at its own cost and expense, all lighting fixtures, tubes, lamps, bulbs, ballasts and outlets required in the Premises. All such fixtures, tubes, lamps, bulbs, ballasts and outlets so installed shall become Landlord’s property upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(d) Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and regulations of the utility company supplying electricity to the Building or which Tenant has notice. Tenant shall not use any electrical equipment which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would exceed the Electrical Capacity for the Premises. In the event that Tenant’s electrical use actually exceeds the Electric Capacity (the “Excess Usage”), Landlord shall so notify Tenant of same, and Tenant shall immediately cease the Excess Usage, subject to the provisions of this clause (e). Within 15 days after receipt of such notice, Tenant may reasonably request additional electrical capacity (by delivery of a so-called “Load Letter” to Landlord from a reputable electrical consultant, specifying the amount requested and that same is required for the normal conduct of Tenant’s business and operation of equipment in the Premises) be made available to Tenant. If after delivery of a satisfactory Load Letter to Landlord, Landlord, reasonably determines that Tenant’s Excess Usage requirements (not to exceed 2 additional xxxxx per usable square foot) necessitate installation of any additional and reasonable quantities of risers, feeders or other electrical distribution equipment (collectively, “Electrical Equipment”), Landlord shall, at Tenant’s cost and expense, install such additional Electrical Equipment, provided that Landlord (subject to the next sentence), in its reasonable judgment, determines that (i) such installation is practicable any necessary shaft space is available (as determined by Landlord in its reasonable judgment taking into account, without limitation, the then tenant occupancy throughout the Building), (ii) such additional Electrical Equipment is permissible under applicable Requirements, and (iii) the installation of such Electrical Equipment will not cause permanent damage to the Building or the Premises, cause or create a hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, interfere with or limit electrical usage by other tenants or occupants of the Buildings or exceed the limits of the switchgear or other facilities serving the Buildings, or require power in excess of that available from the utility serving the Buildings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous sentence, Landlord confirms to Tenant that the Building is capable, at a commercially reasonable cost, of providing power to the Premises at least substantially consistent with the power required for the Permitted Use conducted in Comparable Buildings; and so long as Tenant’s power requirements do not exceed such standard, the conditions described in clauses “i,” “ii,” and “iii” of the previous sentence shall be deemed satisfied. Landlord shall make available additional power for Tenant’s use. Landlord shall reasonably determine the conduit path for Tenant to access such additional power, and Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs shall be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 10.1(b) above for such additional power.

(e) Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable access, upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of an emergency in which case no notice shall be required) to any elevator machine rooms located within the Premises. Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s ordinary business at the Premises with respect to such access, subject to Tenant’s right of abatement under Section 10.11 if a Substantial Portion of the Premises becomes Untenantable (but only to the extent Tenant is entitled to such abatement in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.11). Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reasonable amount of shaft space (as reasonably determined by Landlord) from the telecommunications “point of entry room” of the Building to the Premises, which shaft space shall be free of Hazardous Materials, at no additional charge to Tenant.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, at no additional charge to Tenant, Landlord shall provide to Tenant reasonably sufficient unobstructed, Hazardous Materials free, shaft space from the Telecom “Point of Entry” room in the Building to the Premises and Tenant’s Roof Deck Area (the “Dedicated Shaft”) to run reasonable and customary communications wiring for Tenant’s use, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord shall not be required to run connections for electricity and/or water to Tenant’s Roof Deck Area, except to the extent such work is provided for as part of Landlord’s Work.

Section 10.2 Elevators. Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week; provided, however, Landlord may reasonably limit passenger elevator service during times other than Business Hours provided, however, there shall be at least one (1) passenger elevator available on call to serve the Premises at all times, subject to police emergency and/or Unavoidable Delay. Landlord shall provide at least one freight elevator serving the Premises upon Tenant’s prior request, on a non-exclusive “first come, first serve” basis with other tenants of the Building, on all Business Days from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Section 10.3 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. Landlord shall provide, in accordance with the HVAC specifications to the HVAC Design Space Conditions set forth on Schedule “C” annexed hereto, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) to the Premises during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and upon written request by 2 p.m. of the preceding Business Day, if needed by Tenant, during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays (“HVAC Business Hours”) (except in all such cases for Observed Holidays (as hereinafter defined) during the applicable seasons at times of the year as reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord shall have access, at reasonable times and upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of an emergency, in which case notice shall not be required) to all air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets and all other mechanical installations of Landlord in or in proximity to the Premises (collectively, “Mechanical Installations”), and Tenant shall not construct partitions or other obstructions (which partitions or obstructions are not subject to Landlord’s prior approval in accordance with the provision of Article 5), which may interfere other than to a de minimis extent with Landlord’s access thereto or the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the Mechanical Installations. No Tenant Party shall at any time enter the Mechanical Installations or tamper with, adjust, or otherwise affect such Mechanical Installations. Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System fails to provide cooled or heated air, as the case may be, to the Premises in accordance with the Design Standards by reason of (i) any equipment installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, which has an electrical load in excess of the average electrical load and human occupancy factors for the HVAC System as designed, or (ii) any improper rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or performed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, or (iii) Tenant failing to keep all of the operable windows in the Premises closed, and lower the blinds when necessary because of the sun’s position, whenever the HVAC System is in operation or as and when required by any Requirement. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord and shall abide by the rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC System. Tenant shall have, within the HVAC specifications to the HVAC Design Space Conditions set forth on Schedule “C” annexed hereto during HVAC Business Hours, reasonable control over the temperature (within the design specifications of the system) within the Premises through the means of a thermostat

Section 10.4 Overtime HVAC. If Tenant desires any HVAC services during times other than HVAC Hours (“Overtime HVAC Hours”), then Tenant shall deliver notice (which notice may be via email to Xxxxx Xxxxx at xxxxx.xxxxx@xxxx.xxx (which email address Landlord may change from time to time upon notice to Tenant) to the Building office (i) at least six (6) hours prior to the time that Tenant desires such service to be provided if such service is desired on Monday through Friday, and (ii) at least prior to 2 p.m. of the previous business day in advance of the time that Tenant desires such service to be provided if such service is desired on weekends and/or Observed Holidays (provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to arrange such service on such shorter notice as Tenant shall provide) and Tenant shall pay the then established Building rate for such service except if such service is provided on proper advance request for periods between 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays (except for Observed Holidays). The current rate for HVAC during Overtime HVAC Hours at the Buildings is $200.00 per hour. Tenant shall pay for a minimum of 4 hours of use if not contiguous to Business Hours. HVAC charges during Overtime HVAC Hours shall only be subject to increases based on CPI increase (but not less than Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket cost).

Section 10.5 Overtime Freight Elevators. There shall be no charge to Tenant for the furnishing of any freight elevator service to the Premises other than during Overtime Periods. If Tenant desires any such services during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall deliver notice to the Dumbo Heights Campus office requesting such services (i) at least six (6) hours prior to the time that Tenant desires such service to be provided if such service is desired on Monday through Friday, and (ii) at least one business day in advance of the time that Tenant desires such service to be provided if such service is desired on weekends and/or Observed Holidays; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to arrange such service on such shorter notice as Tenant shall provide. All use of the freight elevator during Overtime Periods shall be exclusive to Tenant for the reserved period. If Landlord furnishes freight elevator service during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the actual cost thereof to Landlord at the then established rates for such services in the Building. The current rate for freight elevator service is $150.00 per hour. Tenant shall pay for a minimum of 4 hours of use if not contiguous to Business Hours. Costs during Overtime Periods for such freight services shall only be subject to increases CPI increase (but not less than Landlord’s actual out-of-pocket cost). Tenant shall, at no additional charge, be entitled to use the Building’s freight elevator during Overtime Periods comprising thirty (30) hours in the aggregate in connection with Tenant’s initial move into the Premises.

Section 10.6 Cleaning. Landlord shall, at its cost and expense, cause the Common Areas to be cleaned five (5) days per week, substantially in accordance with the standards set forth in Exhibit D annexed hereto and made a part hereof, using materials and methods which are consistent with “environmentally friendly” criteria.

responsible to distribute such water throughout the Premises), and (ii) the core bathrooms on each floor of the Premises, each subject to Landlord’s Premises Work and Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work. In the event Tenant desires that hot water be provided, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s cost and expense, install a hot water heater to provide such hot water, and a meter(s) to measure Tenant’s consumption of electricity and water in connection with such service to the Premises, subject to Landlord’s Premises Work and Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work. If Tenant requires water in connection with any purpose that is not typical office use, other than those set forth above, Tenant shall pay for the cost of bringing such additional water to the Premises and Landlord shall, at Tenant’s reasonable cost and expense, install a meter to measure the Tenant’s consumption of such water. Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable costs associated with the maintenance, repair and replacement, if any, of the hot water heater and meter(s) as provided above.

Section 10.9 Condenser Water. Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, be permitted to install independent supplemental water-cooled air conditioning units (“Tenant’s Supplemental Units”) in Tenant’s equipment rooms, subject to the provisions of Article 5 including, without limitation, the requirement to obtain Landlord’s prior approval thereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall provide up to ten (10) tons of condenser water for each full floor then comprising the Premises (except that in respect of the 10th floor only, Landlord shall provide up to fifteen (15) tons of condenser water) (“Condenser Capacity”) to a wet column in the Premises in connection with Tenant’s Supplemental Units (24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and 365 days per year). Tenant can reasonably allocate such condenser water among the floors of the Premises. Tenant shall pay Landlord an annual charge for such condenser water throughout the term of this Lease, which charge is $450.00 per ton of the Condenser Capacity, payable in annual installments, and shall be payable whether or not Tenant utilizes such amount of condenser water. In addition, Tenant shall connect Tenant’s Supplemental Units to Tenant’s electric submeters and pay for electric consumption therefor in accordance with Section 10.1 above. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to reduce or increase the number of tons of condenser water which it desires by providing Landlord with written notice of such reduced or increased amount no later than the date that is twenty (24) months immediately following the date of this Lease; such increase shall be subject to availability, in Landlord’s sole judgment. After that deadline, Landlord shall nevertheless reasonably endeavor to accommodate any such request by Tenant, subject however to capacity constraints and reasonable reservations for the remainder of the Building. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all condenser valved and capped outlets on each floor of the Premises for Supplemental Units shall be installed by Tenant (subject to compliance with all applicable terms of this Lease), at Tenant’s sole cost. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to redistribute the aggregate amount of condenser water provided to it hereunder within the Premises in Tenant’s discretion, except to the extent that such redistribution would cause damage to or overloading of the Building Systems as reasonably determined by Landlord. In the event Tenant requests condenser water in amounts which are in excess of the amounts reserved above, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide such excess amount, up to an additional 10 tons, subject to availability as

reasonably determined by Landlord, provided that Tenant shall pay all costs related to providing such excess condenser water (including, without limitation, all costs related to installing equipment required to deliver such water to the Premises and Landlord’s then Building standard charge for such water). If, after the first anniversary of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date (or at such earlier date, at Tenant’s sole option), Tenant fails to utilize any quantity of condenser water for 180 days or more in a one year period, Landlord shall have the right upon notice to Tenant to irrevocably reduce the number of tons of condenser water to which Tenant is entitled by the number of such unutilized tons, in which case Landlord shall only charge Tenant for such lower number of tons of condenser water.

Section 10.10 Telecommunications. Landlord currently expects to provide dark fiber connection within the Building through its current single provider, Xxxxxx Fiber (“Landlord’s Fiber Provider”). Landlord’s Fiber Provider shall manage all telecommunications connectivity for the Building. If Tenant shall desire a separate fiber line to serve the Premises, Tenant shall contract directly with Landlord’s Fiber Provider (or use a reputable telecom provider that Landlord approves in advance), at Tenant’s cost and expense, for such service. Landlord hereby acknowledges and represents that any such agreements shall conform to the telecommunication standards adopted by the Landlord for the Building to accommodate high tech tenants, and that the same shall be on Landlord’s standard form of such agreement. If Tenant requests that Landlord grant access to the Building to a telecommunications service provider designated by Tenant for purposes of providing telecommunications services to Tenant, Landlord shall respond to such request within thirty (30) days. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to Tenant receiving telecommunications services from providers requested by Tenant to have access to the Building’s facilities, subject to compliance with Landlord’s reasonable requirements. All telecom provider work and access for Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall be permitted to use a reasonable amount of unobstructed, secure Landlord designated shaft space from the Telecom “Point of Entry” room in the Building to the Premises, without any additional charge, which shaft space shall be free of Hazardous Materials. Such reasonable amount shall not exceed Tenant’s pro rata share of available shaft space within the Building.

Section 10.11 Service Interruptions.

(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11(b) below, Landlord reserves the right to suspend any service when necessary, by reason of Unavoidable Delays, accidents or emergencies, or for Restorative Work which, in Landlord’s commercially reasonable judgment, are necessary or appropriate until such Unavoidable Delay, accident or emergency shall cease or such Restorative Work is completed and Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption, curtailment or failure to supply services. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises as a result of any such interruption, curtailment or failure of or defect in such service, or change in the supply, character and/or quantity of electrical service, and to restore any such services, remedy such situation and minimize any interference with Tenant’s business. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11(b) below, the exercise of any such right or the occurrence of any such failure by Landlord shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, entitle Tenant to any compensation, abatement or diminution of Rent, relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or any Indemnitees by reason of inconvenience to Tenant, or interruption of Tenant’s business, or otherwise.

INSURANCE; PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE

Section 11.1 Tenant’s Insurance.

(a) Commencing as of the earlier of: (x) Tenant’s actual access to the Premises and (y) the Commencement Date (with respect to the Premises and Tenant’s Roof Deck Area) and as of the Expansion Premises Commencement Date (with to the Expansion Premises),Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and keep in full force and effect during the Term:

(i) a policy of commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence basis against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and/or property damage occurring in or about the Buildings, under which Tenant is named as the insured and Landlord, Landlord’s Agent and any Lessors and any Mortgagees whose names have been furnished to Tenant, are named as additional insureds (the “Insured Parties”). Such insurance shall provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the benefit of the Insured Parties, and Tenant shall obtain blanket broad-form contractual liability coverage to insure its indemnity obligations set forth in Article 25. The minimum limits of

liability applying exclusively to the Premises shall be a combined single limit with respect to each occurrence in an amount of not less than $5,000,000; provided, however, that Landlord shall retain the right to require Tenant to increase such coverage from time to time to that amount of insurance which in Landlord’s reasonable judgment is then being customarily required by landlords for similar office tenants of similar office space in Comparable Buildings (but such increase shall not be greater than the increase in CPI between the Commencement Date and the applicable increase year. The self-insured retention for such policy shall not exceed $25,000;

(ii) insurance against loss or damage by fire, and such other risks and hazards as are insurable under then available standard forms of “Special Form Causes of Loss” or “All Risk” property insurance policies with extended coverage, insuring Tenant’s Property, Landlord’s Premises Work and Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work (excluding the Base Building Work and the Base Building Roof Work in each case which shall be covered by Landlord’s property insurance) and all Alterations to the Premises to the extent such Alterations exceed the cost of the improvements typically performed in connection with the initial occupancy of tenants in the Buildings (“Building Standard Installations”), for the full insurable value thereof or replacement cost thereof, having a deductible amount, if any, not in excess of $50,000;

(iii) during the performance of any Alteration, until completion thereof, Builder’s Risk insurance on an “all risk” basis and on a completed value form including a Permission to Complete and Occupy endorsement, for full replacement value covering the interest of Landlord and Tenant (and their respective contractors and subcontractors) in all work incorporated in the Building and all materials and equipment in or about the Premises, provided that this subsection (iii) shall not apply so long as Landlord (and not Tenant) performs Landlord’s Work and Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work;

(iv) Workers’ Compensation Insurance, as required by law; and

(v) Business Interruption Insurance coverage for a period of at least twelve (12) months.

(b) All insurance required to be carried by Tenant (i) shall be non-cancellable unless Landlord receives thirty (30) days’ (ten (10) days in case of cancellation for non-payment of premiums) prior notice of the same, by certified mail, return receipt requested (or if such notice to Landlord is not obtainable from the insurance company, then Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the same after receipt of such notice from the insurance company), and (ii) shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies issued by reputable insurers admitted to do business in the State of New York and rated in Best’s Insurance Guide, or any successor thereto as having a “Best’s Rating” of “A-” or better and a “Financial Size Category” of at least “IX” or better or, if such ratings are not then in effect, the equivalent thereof or such other financial rating as Landlord may at any time reasonably consider appropriate.

(c) On or prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord appropriate policies or certificates of insurance (“Certificate[s] of Insurance”), including evidence of waivers of subrogation required to be carried pursuant to this Article 11 and that the Insured Parties are named as additional insureds (the “Policies”). Evidence of each

renewal or replacement of the Policies shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. In lieu of the Policies, Tenant, at Tenant’s option, may deliver to Landlord a certification from Tenant’s insurance company (on the form currently designated “Accord 27” (Evidence of Property Insurance) and “Accord 25-S” (Certificate of Liability Insurance), or the equivalent, provided that attached thereto is an endorsement to Tenant’s commercial general liability policy naming the Insured Parties as additional insureds, which endorsement (x) is at least as broad as ISO policy form “CG acceptable to Landlord with Additional Insured — Managers or Lessors of Premises” (current State-Approved Edition) and (y) expressly provides coverage for the negligence of the additional insureds, which certification shall be binding on Tenant’s insurance company, and (z) shall be effective on or prior to the Commencement Date (or the date on which Tenant or any person by or through Tenant accesses the Premises for any reason, if earlier), with written evidence thereof from Tenant’s insurance company to follow within 30 days after such effective date. The policy and certificate shall expressly provide that such certification conveys to the Insured Parties all the rights and privileges afforded under the commercial general liability Policies as primary insurance. A copy of the Certificate of Insurance acceptable to Landlord is annexed hereto as Schedule “B” and made a part hereof.

(d) Landlord shall (i) keep the Building insured against damage and destruction by fire, vandalism, and other perils under “all risk” property insurance, and (ii) maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance for claims for personal injury, death and/or property damage occurring in or about the Buildings; both as to (i) and (ii) above, consistent with the insurance requirements of any Mortgage then affecting the Building or, in the event there is no Mortgage encumbering the Building, then consistent with limits general maintained by owners of Comparable Buildings.

(e) Tenant shall have the right to satisfy its obligations under Section 11.1(a) by means of any so-called blanket policy or policies of insurance covering the Premises and other premises of Tenant or its Affiliates; provided that each such policy shall in all respects comply with Section 11.1(a) and shall specify that the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Premises is in the amounts required pursuant to Section 11.1(a) and shall provide that the amount of coverage afforded thereunder with respect to the Premises shall not be reduced below the limits required hereunder by claims thereunder against such other premises.

Section 11.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant shall each procure an appropriate clause in or endorsement to any property insurance covering the Building or the Premises, as the case may be, and personal property, fixtures and equipment located therein, wherein the insurer waives subrogation or consents to a waiver of right of recovery, and Landlord and Tenant agree not to make any claim against, or seek to recover from, the other for any loss or damage to its property or the property of others resulting from fire or other hazards. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry insurance on, and shall not be responsible for, (i) damage to any Above Building Standard Installations, (ii) Tenant’s Property, (iii) the Skylight, (iv) Landlord’s Premises Work (other than the Base Building Work and the Base Building Roof Work (but excluding the Skylight which shall be Tenant’s obligation to insure)), and (iv) any loss suffered by Tenant due to interruption of Tenant’s business, except as expressly set forth in Section 11.1(d) above.

Section 11.3 Restoration. If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, or if the Building is damaged, Landlord shall, to the extent of the insurance proceeds received therefor (including, without limitation, that Landlord shall only be responsible to repair the

Skylight to the extent of the insurance proceeds assigned and promptly paid to Landlord by Tenant and only if such Skylight and the entire roof membrane surrounding such Skylight is substantially damaged), be responsible only to repair and restore the Building (including the Common Areas) Base Building Work and the Base Building Roof Work to substantially the condition it existed prior to such event (collectively, the “Casualty Work”), subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, but Landlord shall have no obligation to repair or restore (i) Tenant’s Property, (ii) any other portion of Landlord’s Premises Work, or (iii) any Alterations or improvements to the Premises. Until the date which is the earlier of (1) 120 days following the date on which the Casualty Work is Substantially Completed (or would have been Substantially Completed but for Tenant Delay) and Tenant has reasonable access to the Premises, or (2) the date on which Tenant occupies the portion of the Premises that has been damaged for the normal conduct of business, (i) with respect to the Premises, Rent shall be reduced in the proportion by that area of the part of the Premises which is not usable (or accessible), and is not used by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises, and Rent shall be reduced on a floor by floor basis in the same manner and if more than thirty (30%) percent of the usable square footage of the Premises shall be inaccessible, the Premises shall be deemed to be wholly unusable (and untenantable) and (ii) with respect to the Tenant’s Roof Deck Area, Rent shall be reduced by 10% if 33% (or more) of usable square footage of Tenant’s Roof Deck Area is not usable (or accessible) provided if the Premises and the Tenant’s Roof Deck Area are both not usable (or inaccessible) in no event shall the Rent be reduced below zero (0). This Article 11 constitutes an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty, and which shall supersede any Requirement providing for such contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other law of like nature and purpose now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in any such case. This Article 11 constitutes an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, which provides for such contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other law of like nature and purpose now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in any such case.

Section 11.4 Landlord’s Termination Right. If the Premises or the Building shall be totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed) that its repair or restoration requires more than 12 months or the expenditure of more than 30% of the full insurable value of the Building immediately prior to the casualty (as estimated in any such case by a third-party reputable contractor, registered architect or licensed professional engineer designated by Landlord), and provided Landlord shall terminate leases covering no less than 75% of the office space in the Building then leased to tenants in the Building (including Tenant), then in such case Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice to such effect within 60 days after the date of the casualty. If this Lease is so terminated, (v) the Term shall expire upon the 30th day after such notice is given, (w) Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord, (x) Tenant’s liability for Rent with respect to such portion of the Premises affected shall cease as of the date of the damage, (y) any prepaid Rent for any period after the date of the damage shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant, and (z) if the lease is so terminated, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit together with a letter addressed to the Issuing Bank acknowledging that Landlord has no further right to draw thereon.

Section 11.5 Tenant’s Termination Right. If the Premises and/or the Tenant’s Roof Deck Area are damaged and are thereby rendered “wholly untenantable” (as hereinafter described), or if a Building shall be so damaged that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to

the Premises and/or the Tenant’s Roof Deck Area, use of the Premises for the Permitted Use, use of the Tenant’s Roof Deck Area for the RDA Permitted Use and if Landlord elects or shall be obligated to restore the Premises and the Tenant’s Roof Deck Area, Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days following the date of the damage, cause a contractor or architect selected by Landlord to give notice (the “Restoration Notice”) to Tenant of the date by which such contractor or architect estimates the restoration of the Premises (excluding any Above Building Standard Installations) shall be Substantially Completed. If such date, as set forth in the Restoration Notice, is more than twelve (12) months from the date of such damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice (the “Termination Notice”) to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days following delivery of the Restoration Notice to Tenant. If Tenant delivers a Termination Notice, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of the giving of the Termination Notice, in the manner set forth in the second sentence of Section 11.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.5, in the event that the Restoration Notice set forth in Section 11.5 provides (a) for an estimated date of completion that is less than twelve (12) months from the date of the casualty and the restoration of the Premises is not Substantially Completed within twelve (12) months from the date of the casualty, or (b) for an estimated date of completion that is more than twelve (12) months from the date of the casualty and Tenant did not deliver a Termination Notice with respect thereto, but the restoration of the Premises is not Substantially Completed within sixty (60) days following the estimated date of completion in such Restoration Notice, then, in either of such events, Tenant shall have a right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord to give a Termination Notice as a result thereof and, unless Landlord Substantially Completes such restoration within the foregoing thirty (30) day period, the Lease shall be terminated in the manner provided in the second sentence of Section 11.4. For purposes of this Section 11.5 and 11.6, the Premises shall be deemed “wholly untenantable” if Tenant shall be precluded from using such material portion of the Premises as Tenant reasonably determines, in good faith, is required for the conduct of Tenant’s ordinary business in substantially the manner that existed immediately prior to the casualty (provided however, that if Landlord believes in good faith, that Tenant’s determination that the Premises are “wholly untenantable” is then unreasonable, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with arbitration as set forth in Article 34 below) provided that if more than thirty (30%) percent of the usable square footage of the Premises shall be inaccessible, the Premises shall be deemed to be wholly untenantable which shall not be subject to dispute.

Section 11.6 Final Eighteen Months. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11to the contrary, if any significant casualty during the final eighteen (18) months of the Term, as the same may be extended, renders the Premises all or partially wholly untenantable, and the restoration of the Premises is not Substantially Completed or capable of being Substantially Completed within six (6) months from the date of the casualty, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage and this Lease shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such notice.

Section 11.7 Landlord’s Liability. Any Building employee to whom any property shall be entrusted by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be acting as Tenant’s agent with respect to such property and neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any damage to such property, or for the loss of or damage to any such property of Tenant by theft or otherwise. None of the Insured Parties shall be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property or interruption of Tenant’s business in each case resulting from fire or other casualty, any damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Building or by construction of any private, public or

quasi-public work, or any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building (except that Landlord shall be required to repair the same to the extent provided in Article 6).

ARTICLE 12

EMINENT DOMAIN

Section 12.1 Taking.

(a) Total Taking. If all or substantially all of the Building or the Premises shall be acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public purpose (a “Taking”), this Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title and Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of such date.

(b) Partial Taking. Upon a Taking of only a part of a Building or the Premises then, except as hereinafter provided in this Article 12, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, provided that from and after the date of the vesting of title, Rent shall be modified to reflect the reduction of the Premises and/or the Building as a result of such Taking.

(c) Landlord’s Termination Right. Whether or not the Premises are affected, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, within sixty (60) days following the date upon which Landlord receives notice of the Taking of all or a substantial portion of the Building or the Premises, terminate this Lease, provided that Landlord elects to terminate leases (including this Lease) affecting at least fifty (50%) percent of the rentable area of the Building (excluding any rentable area leased by Landlord or its Affiliates).Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord shall be required to spend more than it collects as an award to restore the portion of the Premises to a self-contained rental unit, or if any Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall retain such award without regard to Landlord’s obligation to restore, Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant.

(d) Tenant’s Termination Right. If the part of the Real Property so taken contains more than twenty-five (25%) percent of the total area of the Premises or if, by reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises or use of the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted prior to such Taking, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days following the date upon which Tenant is given notice of such Taking. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall end and expire upon the thirtieth (30th) day following the giving of such notice. If a part of the Premises shall be so taken and this Lease is not terminated in accordance with this Section 12.1 Landlord, without being required to spend more than it collects as an award, shall restore that part of the Premises not so taken to a self-contained rental unit substantially equivalent (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed immediately prior to such Taking, excluding Tenant’s Property and Above Building Standard Installations, provided, however, if Landlord is unable to perform the restoration required hereunder because the same would cost more than the award, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days following the date upon which Tenant is notified of such circumstance.

(e) Apportionment of Rent. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12, Rent, as the same may have been reduced pursuant to

Section 12.1(b)shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and including, the date of such termination.

Section 12.2 Awards. Upon any Taking, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any such Taking, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term or Tenant’s Alterations; and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the then value of any Tenant’s Property or Above Building Standard Installations included in such Taking and for any moving expenses, provided any such award is in addition to, and does not result in a reduction of, the award made to Landlord.

Section 12.3 Temporary Taking. If all or any part of the Premises is taken temporarily during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent payable by Tenant, with a proportionate reduction or abatement, and to perform all of its other obligations under this Lease, except to the extent prevented from doing so by the condemning authority, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning authority for such use, which shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of the Rent falling due.

ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Section 13.1 Consent Requirements.

(a) No Transfers. Except as expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not sublet, or permit, or suffer the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others (whether for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise), without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in accordance with this Article 13. Any assignment, sublease, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Article 13 shall be void and shall constitute an Event of Default.

(b) Collection of Rent. If, without Landlord’s consent (unless Landlord’s consent is not required hereunder), this Lease is assigned, or any part of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant (by operation of law or otherwise), Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Article 13, an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s covenants hereunder, and in all cases Tenant shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Lease.

(c) Further Assignment/Subletting. Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to any further assignment or subletting, if such consent is required hereunder. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit any portion of the sublet space to be used or occupied by others, except with the consent of Landlord which shall be granted or withheld using the same standards set forth in Section 13.4.

Section 13.2 Tenant’s Notice. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises for all or substantially all of the remaining term of the Lease (other than as may be expressly permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to this Lease), Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which shall be accompanied by (i) a statement reasonably detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant (“Transferee”), the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, and a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet (in the case of a sublease), (ii) current financial information with respect to the Transferee, including its most recent financial statement, (iii) with respect to an assignment of this Lease or sublet of all or a portion of the Premises, a bona-fide term sheet, lease assignment or sublease, in either case describing all of the material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, and (iv) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises, a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet, and a bona-fide term sheet or sublease describing all of the material terms and conditions of the proposed sublease (collectively, a “Transferee Notice”). Except as provided below,, a Transferee Notice shall be deemed an irrevocable offer from Tenant to Landlord, whereby Landlord, in its sole discretion may either, by written notice to Tenant (a “Landlord Recapture Notice”): (x) sublease, or landlord’s designee may sublease such space (the “Leaseback Space”) from Tenant upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Transferee Notice (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of all or part of the Premises), provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such sublease shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 13.7 below, (y) terminate this Lease if the proposed transaction is an assignment or a sublease (whether by one sublease or a series of related or unrelated subleases) of all or substantially all of the Premises, or (z) terminate this Lease with respect to the Leaseback Space (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of part of the Premises). If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease in the case where Tenant desires either to assign this Lease or sublet (whether by one sublease or a series of related or unrelated subleases) all or substantially all of the Premises, then, this Lease shall end and expire on the date that such assignment or sublet was to be effective or commence, as the case may be, and the Rent shall be paid and apportioned to such date, and Landlord shall be free to lease the Premises (or any part thereof) to any third party including, without limitation, Tenant’s prospective assignee or subtenant. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease in part in any case where Tenant desires to sublet a portion of the Premises, then, (a) this Lease shall end and expire with respect to such portion of the Premises on the date that the proposed sublease was to commence; and (b) from and after such date the Rent shall be adjusted, based upon the proportion that the rentable area of the Premises remaining bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; and (c) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, the costs actually incurred by Landlord in physically separating such portion of the Premises from the balance of the Premises and in complying with any laws and requirements of any public authorities relating to such separation. Said options may be exercised by Landlord by notice to Tenant at any time within twenty-five (25) days after such notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord; and during such twenty-five (25) day period Tenant shall not assign this Lease nor sublet such space to any person (other than as permitted herein without Landlord’s consent). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event Landlord sends a Landlord Recapture Notice to Tenant in order to exercise a right of recapture under this Section 13.2 in respect only of a sublease which is 7,500 rentable square feet or less, then, for a period of five (5) Business Days (time being of the essence) after Tenant’s receipt of the Landlord Recapture Notice, Tenant shall have the right to withdraw the Transferee Notice related to such sublease sent to Landlord by delivery to Landlord of a notice withdrawing such Transferee Notice within said five (5) Business Day period. In a case of such timely withdrawal by Tenant, the Transferee Notice and Landlord’s Recapture Notice shall both be deemed null and void and Tenant shall not be permitted to sublease the space in question unless and until Tenant again complies with all the provisions of this Article 13. If Landlord fails to timely deliver a Landlord Recapture Notice, then

Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right of recapture under this Section 13.2 with respect thereto, and provided the proposed assignment or sublease complies with the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 below, Landlord’s consent to the proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in accordance with said Section 13.4. It is understood and agreed that Landlord shall have no right under this Section 13.2 through Section 13.3 to terminate the Lease or sublet the space by a Landlord Recapture Notice if the space Tenant proposes to sublease is for term that is less than substantially all the remainder of the Term.

Section 13.3 Landlord Leaseback. If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Leaseback Space in accordance with the provisions above, such sublease to Landlord or its designee (as subtenant) shall be at the rentals set forth in the proposed sublease, and shall be for the same term as that of the proposed subletting, and such sublease shall provide that:

(a) it shall be expressly subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable, and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section;

(b) it shall be upon the same terms and conditions as those contained in the proposed sublease, except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section;

(c) it shall give the sublessee the unqualified and unrestricted right, without Tenant’s permission, to assign such sublease or any interest therein and/or to sublet the Leaseback Space or any part or parts of the Leaseback Space and to make any and all changes, alterations, and improvements in the space covered by such sublease at no cost or liability to Tenant and if the proposed sublease will result in all or substantially all of the Premises being sublet, grant Landlord or its designee the option to extend the term of such sublease for the balance of the term of this Lease less one (1) day (provided that Tenant shall have no obligation to restore the Leaseback Space to any previous condition);

(d) any assignee or further subtenant, of Landlord or its designee, may, at the election of Landlord, be permitted to make alterations, decorations and installations in the Leaseback Space or any part thereof and shall also provide in substance that any such alterations, decorations and installations in the Leaseback Space therein made by any assignee or subtenant of Landlord or its designee may be removed, in whole or in part, by such assignee or subtenant, at its option, prior to or upon the expiration or other termination of such sublease provided that such assignee or subtenant, at its expense, shall repair any damage and injury to that portion of the Leaseback Space so sublet caused by such removal;

(e) (i) the parties to such sublease expressly negate any intention that any estate created under such sublease be merged with any other estate held by either of said parties, (ii) any assignment or subletting by Landlord or its designee (as the subtenant) may be for any purpose or purposes that Landlord, in Landlord’s uncontrolled discretion, shall deem suitable or appropriate, Tenant shall and will at all times provide and permit reasonably appropriate means of ingress to and egress from the Leaseback Space so sublet by Tenant to Landlord or its designee (the cost and expense and means of ingress and egress shall be as specified in Transfer notice), (iv) Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, may make such alterations as may be required or deemed necessary by Landlord to physically separate the Leaseback Space from the balance of the Premises and to comply with any laws and requirements of public authorities relating to such separation, (v) that at the expiration of the term of such sublease,

Tenant will accept the Leaseback Space in its then existing condition, subject to the obligations of the sublessee to make such repairs thereto as may be necessary to preserve the Leaseback Space in good order and condition (and, if applicable, remove alterations made thereto by Landlord or its sublessee and restore the Leaseback Space to its previous condition if, and to the extent, the subtenant would have the obligation to remove alterations made by or on behalf of the subtenant at the end of the sublease term and restore the Leaseback Space to its previous condition). If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Leaseback Space, Landlord shall indemnify and save Tenant harmless from all obligations under this Lease as to the Leaseback Space only during the period of time it is so sublet;

(f) performance by Landlord, or its designee, under a sublease of the Leaseback Space shall be deemed performance by Tenant of any similar obligation under this Lease and any default under any such sublease shall not give rise to a default under a similar obligation contained in this Lease, nor shall Tenant be liable for any default under this Lease or deemed to be in default hereunder if such default is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of the subtenant under such sublease or is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of any occupant holding under or pursuant to any such sublease; and

(g) If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Leaseback Space:

(i) Tenant shall be relieved of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease with respect to the Leaseback Space arising during the term of such sublease other than Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent with respect thereto (without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall not be liable for any default under this Lease or deemed to be in default under this Lease if such default is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of Landlord or the subtenant pursuant to such sublease or any person or entity claiming by, through or under any of them);

(ii) Subject to the conditions and limitation contained in this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), damages, losses and liabilities in connection with third party claims arising from any act or omission of the subtenant in respect of the Leaseback Space or arising from any act or omission of, anyone occupying by, through or under the subtenant in respect of the Leaseback Space except to the extent the same arose from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant;

(iii) Tenant shall have no obligation, at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, to remove any alteration, installation or improvement made in the Leaseback Space or restore the Leaseback Space to any previous condition; and

(iv) Any consent required of Tenant, as Landlord under the sublease, shall be deemed granted if consent with respect thereto is granted by Landlord under this Lease, and any failure of Landlord (or its designee) to comply with the provisions of the sublease other than with respect to the payment of Rent shall not constitute a default thereunder or hereunder if Landlord shall have consented to such non-compliance.

Section 13.4 Conditions to Assignment/Subletting.

(a) If Landlord does not exercise Landlord’s option provided under Section 13.2, and provided no Event of Default then exists and is continuing, Landlord’s consent to the proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be granted or denied within twenty-five (25) days (or ten (10) Business Days if a Transferee Notice had been previously provided to Landlord for the assignment or subletting in question and Landlord failed to exercise its right to terminate the Lease or sublet the Leaseback Space, if applicable, in accordance with Section 13.2 or 13.3, as the case may be) after receipt of all required information including a fully executed assignment or sublease agreement, as applicable, accompanied by a notice requesting Landlord’s consent and all the information required to be provided with a Transferee Notice, if all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the Transferee is engaged in a business or activity, and the Premises will be used in a manner, which (1) is in keeping with the then standards of the Building, and (2) does not violate any restrictions set forth in this Lease;

(viii) the Transferee shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, regardless of whether the Transferee agrees to waive such diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the City and State of New York; and

(ix) any sublease shall provide that the parties thereto shall not reveal the financial terms of the sublease other than to their officers, lenders, brokers, employees and professionals or to the extent required by law.

If Landlord fails to respond to a Second Request within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Landlord, the proposed assignment or sublease as to which the Second Request is submitted shall be deemed to be approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall be entitled to enter into such transaction, provided that such assignment or sublease complies with the requirements of this Article 13 and all other provisions of this Lease applicable there.

The provisions of this Section 13.4(b)(iv) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision, provided that the subtenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such subordination and attornment

(d) Modifications. Any modification, amendment or extension of a sublease (other than pursuant to an express provision of such sublease which was approved by Landlord) shall be deemed a sublease for the purposes of Section 13.1 hereof but unless such modification, amendment or extension adds additional space, Landlord shall have no right to terminate or recapture the premises so demised by such sublease and Section 13.2 and Section 13.3 shall not be applicable.

Section 13.6 Tenant’s Failure to Complete. If Landlord consents to a proposed assignment or sublease and such assignment or sublease fails to become effective within one hundred twenty (120) days after giving of such consent, then Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Sections 13.2, and 13.4 before assigning this Lease or subletting all or part of the Premises.

Section 13.7 Profits.

The sums payable under this clause shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly as and when paid by the subtenant to Tenant.

Section 13.8 Transfers.

(a) Permitted Transfers. If Tenant is a legal entity, the transfer (by one or more transfers), directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of a majority of the stock or other beneficial ownership interest in Tenant or Guarantor, of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable (collectively “Ownership Interests”) shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease. For purposes of this Article, the term “transfers” shall be deemed to include (x) the issuance of new Ownership Interests either by way of a “public offering”, or establishment of a new fund, or otherwise, which results in a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable, being held by a person or entity which does not hold a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable on the date hereof, (y) the sale of all or substantially all of Tenant’s or Guarantor’s assets, as applicable, and (z) except as provided below, the merger or consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or conversion of Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable, into or with another business entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, the provisions of Sections 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4 (other than Sections 13.4(i), (vii), (viii), and (ix)), 13.6, and 13.7 shall not apply to, and Landlord’s consent shall not be required with respect to (i) the transfer of Ownership Interests (or issuance of new Ownership Interests) either directly or indirectly in Guarantor if and so long as the stock of either Tenant or Guarantor is then publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, (ii) transactions with a business entity(ies) into or with which Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable, is merged or consolidated or converted or to which all or substantially all of Tenant’s or Guarantor’s assets, as applicable, or a majority of the Ownership Interests of Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable, transferred (any of the foregoing, a “Successor Entity”), or (iii) transfers or issuances of Ownership Interests of Tenant or Guarantor, in each such case, so long as with respect to transaction described in clause (ii) or

(iii), (A) such transfer or other transaction was made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the principal purpose of transferring this Lease and, in the case of a merger or consolidation only, (B) only if the stock of Guarantor is not then publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, the Successor Entity has a tangible net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied that is at least equal to the tangible net worth of Guarantor computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied as of the date of this Lease (the “Net Worth Test”) (it being understood that this subsection (B) shall not apply if the stock of Guarantor is then publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, (C) only if the Net Worth Test is applicable, proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth is delivered to Landlord at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of any such transaction (or promptly upon Landlord’s request); it being agreed that Tenant shall not be required to provide Landlord with prior notice of any such transactions if disclosure is prohibited by confidentiality requirements or by law, in which event Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice within ten (10) days after such transaction has been consummated (i.e., agreements executed and delivered), (D) any such transfer shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and (E) Tenant and Guarantor (except in the event of a merger where Tenant or Guarantor, as applicable, is not the surviving entity or a sale of all or substantially all of Tenant’s or Guarantor’s assets) shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant may also, upon prior notice to Landlord, but without the provisions of Sections 13.1,13.2, 13.3, 13.4 (other than Sections 13.4(i), (vii), (viii), and (ix)), 13.6 and 13.7 being applicable, permit any Affiliate of Guarantor to accept an assignment of this Lease or sublet or occupy all or part of the Premises, provided such sublease may continue for so long as such entity remains an Affiliate of Guarantor. Any such sublease shall not be deemed to relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, if the stock of Guarantor is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, then the conversion of Guarantor to a private (i.e., non-publicly traded) entity shall not require Landlord’s consent, and the provisions of Sections 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4 (other than Sections 13.4(i), (vii), (viii), and (ix)), 13.6, and 13.7 shall not apply, provided (A) such conversion is made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the principal purpose of transferring this Lease, (B) the Successor Entity (or entity existing after such conversion, as applicable) satisfies the Net Worth Test, and (C) proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth is delivered to Landlord at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of any such transaction (or promptly upon Landlord’s request). All of the transfers described in this Section 13.8 that do not require Landlord’s consent being referred to as an “Permitted Transfer” and such transferees, including Successor Entities, a “Permitted Transferee”).

(b) Applicability. The limitations and rights set forth in this Section 13.8 shall apply to Transferee(s) of this Lease, and any transfer by any such entity in violation of this Section 13.8 shall be a transfer in violation of Section 13.1.

Section 13.9 Assumption of Obligations. No assignment of this Lease which requires Landlord’s consent shall be effective unless and until the Transferee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee (a) assumes Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and (b) agrees that, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof shall be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers.

Section 13.10 Tenant’s Liability. The joint and several liability of Tenant and any successors-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of Tenant’s obligations under this

Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, extending the time, or modifying any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, provided, however, the predecessor tenant shall not be liable with respect to any agreement or stipulation which shall increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

Section 13.11 Lease Disaffirmance or Rejection. If at any time after an assignment by Tenant named herein, this Lease is not affirmed or is rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding or any similar proceeding, or upon a termination of this Lease due to any such proceeding, Tenant named herein, upon request of Landlord given after such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (a) pay to Landlord all Rent and other charges due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as “tenant,” enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Expiration Date, at the same Rent and upon the then executory terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the rights of Tenant named herein under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any persons or entities claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, (ii) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant named herein with due diligence, and (iii) such new lease shall require Tenant named herein to pay all Rent which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have become due under the provisions of this Lease after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If Tenant named herein defaults in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a period of ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant named herein as if it had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant’s default thereunder.

Section 13.12 Permitted Users. (a) Tenant has advised Landlord that one or more parties with whom Tenant (or Guarantor) has a bona fide independent, material and ongoing business relationship or is incubating (each a “Permitted User” ) and/or an Affiliate of Tenant, may from time to time be using space in the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 13, each Permitted User shall be allowed such use, without Landlord’s consent, but upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord upon the following conditions: (i) Landlord shall not be litigating against such proposed Permitted User within the prior 24 months, (ii) the Permitted User shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity and shall be subject to service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the court of, the State of New York, (iii) there will be no separate entrances and/or demising walls for the Permitted User installed to prepare the Premises for a Permitted User, (iv) the aggregate number of rentable square feet occupied by all Permitted Users at any one time shall not exceed 20% of the then rentable square footage of the Premises (except such restriction shall not apply to then Affiliates of Tenant named herein), and (v) Tenant shall receive no rent, payment or other consideration in connection with such occupancy in respect of such space other than nominal rent payments (in no event greater per rentable square foot plus cost reimbursements) than the fixed rent, and escalation rent payable hereunder per rentable square foot) or other consideration for actual services rendered or provided by or for such occupant.

(b) With respect to each and every Permitted User, the following shall apply: (i) each Permitted User shall have no privity of contract with Landlord and therefore shall have no rights under this Lease, and Landlord shall have no liability or obligation to the Permitted User under this Lease for any reason whatsoever in connection with such use or occupancy, which use and occupancy shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease, (ii) each Permitted User shall use the Premises in conformity with all applicable provisions of this Lease, (iii) each Permitted User shall provide evidence of commercial general liability insurance reasonably acceptable to Landlord (not in excess of $2,000,000.00), and (iv) Tenant shall be liable for the acts of such Permitted User in or about the Premises and Building as if same were the acts of Tenant, subject to the terms of this Lease.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more of such Events of Default, Landlord may, at its sole option, give to Tenant seven (7) Business Days’ written notice of cancellation of this Lease (or of Tenant’s possession of the Premises), in which event this Lease and the Term (or Tenant’s possession of the Premises) shall terminate (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) with the same force and effect as if the date set forth in the notice were the Expiration Date stated herein; and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in this Article 15.

Section 15.2 Landlord’s Remedies.

(a) Possession/Reletting. If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing or this Lease and the Term, or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.1:

(i) Surrender of Possession. Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord and its agents may immediately, or at any time after such termination, re-enter the Premises or any part thereof in accordance with the terms of this Lease, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any other applicable action or proceeding, or by force (to the extent permitted by law) or otherwise in accordance with applicable legal proceedings (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefore), and may repossess the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons or entities from the Premises and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises.

(ii) Landlord’s Reletting. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet all or any part of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for any term ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental and upon such other conditions (which may include concessions and free rent periods) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine. Landlord shall have no obligation to accept any tenant offered by Tenant and shall not be liable for failure to relet or, in the event of any such reletting, for failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting; and no such failure shall relieve Tenant of, or otherwise affect, any liability under this Lease. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with such reletting or proposed

reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability.

(b) Tenant’s Waiver. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons or entities claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, hereby waives all rights which Tenant and all such persons or entities might otherwise have under any Requirement (i) to the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings, (ii) to redeem, or to re-enter or repossess the Premises, or (iii) to restore the operation of this Lease, after (A) Tenant shall have been dispossessed by judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, (B) any re-entry by Landlord or (C) any expiration or early termination of the term of this Lease, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination shall be by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The words “re-enter,” “re-entry” and “re-entered” as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings.

(c) Tenant’s Breach. Upon the breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any persons or entities claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and to invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for such breach. The rights to invoke the remedies set forth above are cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.

Section 15.3 Landlord’s Damages.

(a) Amount of Damages. If this Lease and the Term, or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.1, then:

(i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all items of Rent payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord;

(ii) Landlord may retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as prepaid Rent, a security deposit or otherwise, which monies, to the extent not otherwise applied to amounts due and owing to Landlord, shall be credited by Landlord against any damages payable by Tenant to Landlord;

(iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in monthly installments, on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent, any Deficiency (as hereinafter defined); it being understood that Landlord shall be entitled to recover the Deficiency from Tenant each month as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month, shall prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding; and

(iv) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency and as liquidated and agreed final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the Rent for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises, for the same period (with both amounts being discounted to present value at a rate of interest equal to the CPI (as hereinafter defined) less the aggregate amount of Deficiencies theretofore collected by Landlord

pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.3(a)(iii) for the same period. If, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the Premises, or any part thereof, shall have been relet by Landlord to an unaffiliated party for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed prima facie, to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting.

(b) Reletting. If the Premises or any part thereof, shall be relet together with other space in the Building, the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section 15.3. Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not such rents exceeds the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease. Nothing contained in Article 15 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any Requirement, or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in this Section 15.3.

Section 15.4 Interest. If any payment of Rent is not paid when due, interest shall accrue on such payment, from the date such payment was due until paid at the Interest Rate except that no such interest shall accrue in respect of the first installment or payment that is past due during the Term provided that such installment or payment is not past due for more than five (5) days and, if such installment or payment is past due for more than five (5) days, interest shall accrue thereon from the first day such installment or payment became past due. Such interest and late charges are separate and cumulative and are in addition to and shall not diminish or represent a substitute for any of Landlord’s rights or remedies under any other provision of this Lease.

Section 15.5 Other Rights of Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent when due after the expiration of notice and cure period, Landlord, in addition to any other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of a default by Tenant in the payment of Fixed Rent after the expiration of notice and cure periods. If Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any Rent, as Landlord sees fit, regardless of any request by Tenant.

Section 15.6 No Consequential, Etc. Damages. Except for those damages for which Tenant is expressly liable under Article 18, Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord for consequential, punitive, or special damages.

ARTICLE 16
LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE; FEES AND EXPENSES

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Landlord, without waiving such default, may perform the obligations giving rise thereto, at Tenant’s cost and expense immediately, and without advance notice, (a) in the case of emergency, or if the default (i) materially interferes with the use by any other tenant of the Building, (ii) materially interferes with the efficient operation of the Building, (iii) results in a violation of any Requirement, or (iv) results or will result in a cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (b) in any other case if such default continues after the expiration of any applicable notice and grace period except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease. All actual out of pocket costs and

expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it and all actual out of pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease or in any action or proceeding (including any unlawful detainer proceeding) brought by Landlord or in which Landlord is a party to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and/or right of Landlord in or to the Premises, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of demand, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date incurred by Landlord. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all costs and expenses which, pursuant to this Lease are incurred by Landlord and payable to Landlord by Tenant, and all charges, amounts and sums payable to Landlord by Tenant for any property, material, labor, utility or other services which, pursuant to this Lease or at the request and for the account of Tenant, are provided, furnished or rendered by Landlord, shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice for such amount.

ARTICLE 17
NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD; LANDLORD’S APPROVAL

Section 17.1 No Representations. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord and Landlord’s agents have made no warranties, representations, statements or promises with respect to the Buildings, the Real Property or the Premises and no rights including, without limitation, any development rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise. Tenant is entering into this Lease after full investigation and is not relying upon any statement or representation made by Landlord not embodied in this Lease.

Section 17.2 No Money Damages. Wherever in this Lease Landlord’s consent or approval is required, if Landlord refuses to grant such consent or approval, whether or not Landlord expressly agreed that such consent or approval would not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall not make or exercise, and Tenant hereby waives, any claim for money damages (including any claim by way of set-off, counterclaim or defense) and/or any right to terminate this Lease based upon Tenant’s claim or assertion that Landlord unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed its consent or approval. Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to bring an action or proceeding to enforce such provision, by specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment. In no event shall Landlord be liable for, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and all other Tenant Parties, hereby waives any claim for, any indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection with this Lease.

Section 17.3 Reasonable Efforts. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, “reasonable efforts” by Landlord shall not include an obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses of any extraordinary nature.

ARTICLE 18
END OF TERM

Section 18.1 Expiration. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord vacant, broom clean and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property (other than any wiring or cabling between the basement of the Building and the Premises between the floors or under the floors of the Premises or above any hung ceilings

designated for use by Tenant or a future tenant of the Building) and any Alterations as may be required pursuant to Article 5.

Section 18.2 Holdover Rent. Landlord and Tenant recognize that Landlord’s damages resulting from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender possession of the entire Premises may be substantial, may exceed the amount of the Rent payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure. Accordingly, if possession of the entire Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder or at law, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month (or any portion thereof) during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date, or sooner termination of this Lease, a sum equal to (A) the greater of (i) 110% of fair market value for the Premises and (ii) 150% times the Rent payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term, as the same may be extended, for the first sixty (60) days (or portion thereof) that Tenant holds over at the Premises, and (B) the greater of (i) 150% of fair market value for the Premises and (ii) 200% of the Rent payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term thereafter; plus if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, any and all damages including, without limitation, consequential and/or special damages which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s holdover. No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof. No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.2.

Section 18.3 Waiver of Stay. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant, any rights which Tenant or any such person or entity may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice Requirement and Rules and of any successor Requirement of like import then in force, in connection with any holdover summary proceedings which Landlord may institute to enforce the foregoing provisions of this Article 18.

ARTICLE 19
QUIET ENJOYMENT

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises without hindrance by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and to all Superior Leases and Mortgages (as same may be modified by the terms of an SNDA in the Approved SNDA Form between Tenant and such superior party).

ARTICLE 20
NO SURRENDER; NO WAIVER

Section 20.1 No Surrender or Release. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver or acceptance of surrender is in writing and is signed by Landlord.

Section 20.2 No Waiver. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future performance of such obligations of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, or of the right to exercise such election but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent payable pursuant to this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease on the part of Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The payment by Tenant of any Rent payable pursuant to this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease on the part of Landlord shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, or as Landlord may elect to apply such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent 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 provided in this Lease.

ARTICLE 21
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY; COUNTERCLAIM

Section 21.1 Jury Trial Waiver. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE ANY STATUTE, EMERGENCY OR OTHERWISE.

Section 21.2 Waiver of Counterclaim. If Landlord commences any summary proceeding against Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description in any such proceeding (unless failure to interpose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any other court by Tenant.

ARTICLE 22
NOTICES

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all consents, notices, demands, requests, approvals or other communications given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or rendered if delivered by hand either to the Premises or to Tenant’s address as set forth in Article 1 (provided a signed receipt is obtained) or if sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service making receipted deliveries, addressed to Landlord and Tenant as set forth in Article 1, and to any Mortgagee or Lessor who shall require copies of notices and whose address is provided in advance to Tenant in writing, or to such other address(es) as Landlord, Tenant or any Mortgagee or Lessor may designate as its new address(es) for such purpose by notice given to the other in accordance with the provisions of this Article 22. Any such approval, consent, notice, demand, request or other communication shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipted delivery, refusal to accept delivery or when delivery is first

attempted but cannot be made due to a change of address for which no notice is given. Notices given by the attorneys for Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed valid notice if sent in accordance with this Article 22.

ARTICLE 23
RULES AND REGULATIONS

All Tenant Parties shall observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations. Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to adopt additional reasonable Rules and Regulations and to amend the Rules and Regulations then in effect; provided, however, that such additional Rules and Regulations shall not adversely affect Tenant’s rights or obligations hereunder, other than to a de minimis extent, and provided, further that in the event of any conflict between such additional Rules and Regulations and the terms of this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall prevail. Nothing contained in this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease against any other tenant at the Buildings, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, visitors or licensees, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts so as to not enforce any Rule or Regulation in a discriminatory manner against Tenant as compared to other office tenants in the Building. If Tenant disputes the reasonableness of any of the Rules and Regulation hereafter adopted by Landlord, the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in Section 34 hereof, provided, however, that during the pendency of any such arbitration, Tenant shall comply with such Rule and Regulation. Tenant’s right to dispute the reasonableness of any additional Rule and Regulation shall be deemed waived unless Tenant shall notify Landlord of such dispute within forty-five (45) days after delivery to Tenant of a notice of the adoption of any such additional Rule and Regulation.

ARTICLE 24
BROKER

Landlord has retained Landlord’s Agent as leasing agent, and Tenant has retained Tenant’s Broker, in connection with this Lease. Landlord will be solely responsible for any fee that may be payable to Landlord’s Agent and Landlord agrees to pay a commission to Tenant’s Broker pursuant to a separate agreement. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor its agents have dealt with any broker in connection with this Lease other than Landlord’s Agent and Tenant’s Broker. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all Losses which the indemnified party may incur by reason of any claim of or liability to any broker, finder or like agent (other than Landlord’s Agent and Tenant’s Broker) arising out of any dealings claimed to have occurred between the indemnifying party and the claimant in connection with this Lease, and/or the above representation being false (except, with respect to Landlord’s indemnity only, for any claims made by Serten Advisors (“Serten”)). For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant’s indemnity in the foregoing sentence applies to claims made by Serten.

ARTICLE 25
INDEMNITY

Section 25.1 Tenant’s Indemnity. Subject to the waiver of subrogation required by Section 11.2, Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the Premises or the Building which may subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility to a third party for injury, damages to persons or property or to any liability by reason of any violation of any Requirement,

and shall exercise such control over the Premises as to fully protect Landlord against any such liability. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and each of the Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses, resulting from (i) any act or omissions of any Tenant Parties or, (ii) any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any person and occurring in or about the Premises, except to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees (collectively, “Landlord Parties”), or (iii) any breach, violation or nonperformance of any covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be fulfilled, kept, observed or performed or (iv) any work performed by or on behalf of Tenant (but not Landlord’s Premises Work, Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work, Tenant’s Roof Deck Work and the Base Building Roof Work). Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to make Tenant liable for any occurrence that is covered by any property insurance policy that this Lease requires Tenant or Landlord to obtain.

Section 25.2 Landlord’s Indemnity. Subject to the waiver of subrogation required by Section 11.2, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant from and against all Losses incurred by Tenant in connection with third party claims arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or the property of any person in or about the Building to the extent attributable to the negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents.

Section 25.3 Defense and Settlement. If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against any Indemnitee, then upon demand by an Indemnitee, for which the provisions of Section 25.1 apply, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnitee’s name (if necessary), by attorneys approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (attorneys for Tenant’s insurer shall be deemed approved for purposes of this Section 25.3). If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against any Indemnitee, then upon demand by an Indemnitee, for which the provisions of Section 25.2 apply, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnitee’s name (if necessary), by attorneys approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (attorneys for Landlord’s insurer shall be deemed approved for purposes of this Section 25.3). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee may retain its own attorneys, at its sole cost and expense, to participate or assist in defending any claim, action or proceeding involving potential liability in excess of the amount available under Tenant’s (or as applicable Landlord’s) liability insurance carried under Section 11.1 for such claim. If Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, fails to properly and timely defend or if there is a legal conflict or other conflict of interest, then the other party may retain separate counsel at Tenant’s expense. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, the indemnifying party may direct the Indemnitee to settle any claim, suit or other proceeding provided that (a) such settlement shall involve no obligation on the part of the Indemnitee, (b) any payments to be made pursuant to such settlement shall be paid in full exclusively by indemnifying party at the time such settlement is reached or otherwise in accordance with any settlement agreement related thereto, (c) such settlement shall not require the Indemnitee to admit any liability, and (d) the Indemnitee shall have received an unconditional release from the other parties to such claim, suit or other proceeding.

ARTICLE 26
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 26.1 Delivery. The submission of this Lease to Tenant shall not constitute an offer and shall not bind the parties hereto in any manner whatsoever until (a) Tenant has duly executed and delivered duplicate counterparts to Landlord, and (b) Landlord has executed and delivered one fully executed counterpart to Tenant.

Section 26.2 Transfer of Real Property. Landlord’s obligations under this Lease shall not be binding upon Landlord named herein after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer (collectively, a “Transfer”) by such Landlord (or upon any subsequent landlord after the Transfer by such subsequent landlord) of its interest in the Buildings, and in the event of any such Transfer, Landlord (and any such subsequent landlord) shall be entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder arising from and after the date of Transfer, but only from and after the date that the transferee of Landlord’s interest (or that of such subsequent landlord) in the Buildings, shall have assumed in writing, in a document delivered to Tenant, all obligations under this Lease arising from and after the date of Transfer, and responsibility for any security deposit or letter of credit posted by Tenant under this Lease or any escrow deposit or performance fund posted by Tenant in connection with a Work Letter or Alterations.

Section 26.3 Limitation on Liability. The liability of Landlord for Landlord’s obligations under this Lease shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Building (including the net proceeds of any sale of the Building and any net insurance and condemnation proceeds therefrom) and Tenant shall not look to any other property or assets of Landlord or the property or assets of any direct or indirect partner, member, manager, shareholder, director, officer, principal, employee or agent of Landlord (collectively, the “Parties”) in seeking either to enforce Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord’s failure to perform such obligations; and none of the Parties shall be personally liable for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease.

Section 26.4 Entire Document. This Lease (including any Exhibits referred to herein and all supplementary agreements provided for herein) contains the entire agreement between the parties and all prior negotiations and agreements are merged into this Lease. All of the Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated in and made a part of this Lease, provided that in the event of any inconsistency between the terms and provisions of this Lease and the terms and provisions of the Exhibits hereto, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall control.

Section 26.5 Governing Requirement. This Lease shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York.

Section 26.6 Unenforceability. If any provision of this Lease, or its application to any person or entity or circumstance, shall ever be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then in each such event the remainder of this Lease or the application of such provision to any other person or entity or any other circumstance (other than those as to which it shall be invalid or unenforceable) shall not be thereby affected, and each provision hereof shall remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 26.7 Lease Disputes. Except as required by Article 34 the parties agree that all disputes arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to this Lease, and all actions to enforce this Lease, shall be dealt with and adjudicated in the state courts of the State of New

York or the federal courts for the Southern District of New York and for that purpose hereby expressly and irrevocably submits itself to the jurisdiction of such courts. Tenant agrees that so far as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or action, other than service of process in one of the manners specified in this Lease, or as otherwise permitted by law, shall be necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon it in any such court. To the extent that Tenant has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, Tenant irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Lease.

(iii) Tenant and Landlord hereby acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all or any portion of the benefit from any such Incentive Program applied for by Tenant and actually received by or

In the event Tenant defaults beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure period in respect of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, Landlord may apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any Fixed Rent and Additional Rent or any other sum as to which

Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend by reason of Tenant’s default hereunder. If Landlord applies any part of the Security Deposit so deposited, Tenant, upon demand, shall deposit with Landlord the amount so applied so that Landlord shall have the full Security Deposit on hand at all times during the Term. In addition to the foregoing, in the event of a termination of this Lease based upon the default of Tenant, or a rejection of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, Landlord shall have the right to retain the Security Deposit to cover the full amount of damages and other amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Any amounts so retained by Landlord shall, at Landlord’s election, be applied first to any unpaid Rent and other charges that were due prior to the filing of the petition for protection under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees not to oppose, contest or otherwise interfere with any attempt by Landlord to draw down from said Letter of Credit (and/or Additional Letter of Credit) including, without limitation, by commencing an action seeking to enjoin or restrain Landlord from making such draw.

Section 27.4 Transfer. In the event of a sale or foreclosure of the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit to the vendee or Mortgagee and, provided the vendee or Mortgagee acknowledges the receipt of the Security Deposit in writing to Tenant, Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such Security Deposit; and Tenant agrees to look to the new Landlord solely for the return of said Security Deposit, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new Landlord.

Section 27.5 Encumbrance. Tenant covenants that it will not assign or encumber, or attempt to assign or encumber, the Letter of Credit deposited hereunder as security, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance.

Section 27.6 No Waiver. The use of security, as provided in this Article, shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver of Tenant’s default or as a waiver of any other rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under the provisions of this Lease by reason of such default, it being intended that Landlord’s rights to use the whole or any part of the security shall be in addition to but not in limitation of any such other rights and remedies; and Landlord may exercise any of such other rights and remedies independent of or in conjunction with its rights under this Article.

Section 27.7 Return of Letter of Credit. Within sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date and the vacation of the Premises by Tenant and delivery of the Premises to landlord in the condition required hereunder, the Letter of Credit or such part thereof that has not been applied to cure any defaults, beyond applicable and notice and cure periods, shall be returned to Tenant.

Section 27.9 Reduction. Provided no monetary defaults in payment of either (x) Fixed Rent or (y) additional rent in excess of $25,000, in either case occurred more than three times in any 12 month period, and no Event of Default then exists, then, provided that Tenant complies

with the provisions of this Section 27.9, (i) on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the Security Deposit shall be reduced to $3,110,625.00, and (ii) provided the Security Deposit shall have previously been reduced pursuant to the preceding clause (i), on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date the Security Deposit shall be further reduced to $2,504,250.00. The Security Deposit shall be reduced as follows: (A) if the Security Deposit is in the form of cash, Landlord shall, within 10 Business Days following notice by Tenant to Landlord that Tenant is entitled to reduce the Security Deposit pursuant to this Section 27.9, deliver to Tenant the amount by which the Security Deposit is reduced, or (B) if the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a consent to an amendment to the Letter of Credit (which amendment must be reasonably acceptable to Landlord in all respects), reducing the amount of the Letter of Credit by the amount of the permitted reduction, and Landlord shall execute such consent and such other documents as are reasonably necessary to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof. If Tenant delivers to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord shall, within 10 Business Days after delivery of such consent, either (1) provide its reasonable objections to such amendment or (2) execute such consent in accordance with the terms hereof.

ARTICLE 31

RENEWAL TERM

Section 31.1 Renewal Term. Tenant shall have the right to renew the Term for all of the Premises only for one (1) renewal term of 5 (five) years (the “Renewal Term”) commencing on the day after the expiration of the initial Term (the “Renewal Term Commencement Date”) and ending on the day last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of the Renewal Term Commencement Date, unless the Renewal Term shall sooner terminate pursuant to any of the terms of this Lease or otherwise. The Renewal Term shall commence only if (a) Tenant notifies Landlord (the “Exercise Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of such renewal right not later than fifteen (15) months prior to the Expiration Date, (b) at the time of the exercise of such right and immediately prior to the Renewal Term Commencement Date, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, and (c) Tenant named herein and/or an assignee permitted under Section 13.8(a) without Landlord’s consent thereof

occupy at least two full contiguous floors in the Building (the “Occupancy Threshold”) at the time the Exercise Notice is given. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of the Exercise Notice. The Renewal Term shall be upon all of the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that (x) the Fixed Rent shall be determined as provided in Section 31.2, (y) Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Term, and (z) the Base Tax Year shall be the Tax Year commencing on the July 1st of the calendar year in which the Renewal Term Commencement Date occurs and (z) the Base Expense Year shall be the calendar year in which the Renewal term Commencement Date occurs. Upon the commencement of the Renewal Term, (1) the Renewal Term shall be added to and become part of the Term, (2) any reference to “this Lease”, to the “Term”, the “term of this Lease” or any similar expression shall be deemed to include the Renewal Term, and (3) the expiration of the Renewal Term shall become the Expiration Date. Any termination, cancellation or surrender of the entire interest of Tenant under this Lease at any time during the Term shall terminate any right of renewal of Tenant hereunder.

Section 31.2 Renewal Term Rent. The annual Fixed Rent payable during the Renewal Term shall be equal to the greater of (a) the annual Fair Market Value (as hereinafter defined) as of the Renewal Term Commencement Date and (b) the annual Fixed Rent then in effect at the expiration of the initial term of this Lease. “Fair Market Value” shall mean the fair market annual rental value of the Premises as of the Renewal Term Commencement Date for a term equal to the Renewal Term, based on comparable space in the Building, or on comparable space in Comparable Buildings, including all of Landlord’s services provided for in this Lease, and with (i) the Premises considered as vacant, and in “as is” condition existing on the Renewal Term Commencement Date, and (ii) the Base Tax Year being the Tax Year commencing on the July 1st of the calendar year in which the Renewal Term Commencement Date occurs. The calculation of Fair Market Value shall also be adjusted to take into account all other relevant factors. Landlord shall advise Tenant (the “Rent Notice”) of Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value prior to the Renewal Term Commencement Date. If Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value, Tenant shall provide its determination of Fair Market Value within 10 days after Landlord delivers the Rent Notice and in such event the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration as provided in Section 31.3. If the Fixed Rent payable during the Renewal Term is not determined prior to the Renewal Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent in an amount equal to the Fair Market Value for the Premises as determined by Landlord (the “Interim Rent”). Upon final determination of the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term, Tenant shall commence paying such Fixed Rent as so determined, and within 10 days after such determination Tenant shall pay any deficiency in prior payments of Fixed Rent or, if the Fixed Rent as so determined shall be less than the Interim Rent, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the next succeeding installments of Fixed Rent in an amount equal to the difference between each installment of Interim Rent and the Fixed Rent as so determined which should have been paid for such installment until the total amount of the over payment has been recouped.

Section 31.3 Arbitration. If Tenant timely disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value pursuant to Section 31.2, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of such dispute within 10 Business Days after delivery of the Rent Notice (provided a failure to so timely dispute shall be deemed acceptance of Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Value), and such dispute shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Expedited Procedures of the Arbitration Rules for the Real Estate Industry of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes, except that the rules shall be modified as follows:

(a) In its demand for arbitration Tenant shall specify the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on Tenant’s behalf. The arbitrator shall be a real estate broker with at least 10 years full-time commercial brokerage experience who is familiar with the fair market value of first-class office space in the Borough of Brooklyn, City of New York, New York. Failure on the part of Tenant to make the timely and proper demand for such arbitration shall constitute a waiver of the right thereto and the Fixed Rent shall be as set forth in the Rent Notice. Within 10 Business Days after the service of the demand for arbitration, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant specifying the name and address of the person designated by Landlord to act as arbitrator on its behalf, which arbitrator shall be similarly qualified. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of the appointment of its arbitrator within such 10 Business Day period, and such failure continues for 5 Business Days after Tenant delivers a second notice to Landlord, then the arbitrator appointed by Tenant shall be the arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Value for the Premises.

(b) If two arbitrators are chosen pursuant to Section 31.3(a), the arbitrators so chosen shall meet within 10 Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed and shall seek to reach agreement on Fair Market Value. If within 20 Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed the two arbitrators are unable to reach agreement on Fair Market Value then the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators pursuant to Section 31.3(a). If they are unable to agree upon such appointment within 5 Business Days after expiration of such 20 Business Day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves. If the parties do not agree on the third arbitrator within 5 Business Days after expiration of the foregoing 5 Business Day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then president of the Real Estate Board of New York. The third arbitrator shall decide the dispute, if it has not been previously resolved, by following the procedures set forth in Section 31.3(c). Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator. Attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel and of witnesses for the respective parties shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.

(c) Fair Market Value shall be fixed by the third arbitrator in accordance with the following procedures. Concurrently with the appointment of the third arbitrator, each of the arbitrators selected by the parties shall state, in writing, his or her determination of the Fair Market Value supported by the reasons therefor. The third arbitrator shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities for factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Fair Market Value, but any such determination shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross-examine. The third arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she deem appropriate and shall, within 30 days after being appointed, select which of the two proposed determinations most closely approximates his or her determination of Fair Market Value. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed determinations. The determination he or she chooses as that most closely approximating his or her determination of the Fair Market Value shall constitute the decision of the third arbitrator and shall be final and binding upon the parties. The third arbitrator shall render the decision in writing with counterpart copies to each party. The third arbitrator shall have no power to add to or modify the provisions of this Lease. Promptly following receipt of the third arbitrator’s decision, the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease evidencing the extension of the Term for the Renewal Term and confirming the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term, but the failure of the parties to do so shall not affect the effectiveness of the third arbitrator’s determination.

(d) In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his or her successor shall be appointed by him or her, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his or her successor shall be appointed in the same manner as that set forth herein with respect to the appointment of the original third arbitrator.

Section 32.2 Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that:

(a) Landlord has reviewed Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement.

Section 32.3 Tenant desires to relocate its business to the Premises; however, because Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement does not expire prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, Landlord has agreed to reimburse Tenant for the Takeover Rent in an aggregate amount up to (but not exceeding) $1,500,000 (the “Takeover Amount”), subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Article 32. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Landlord be responsible to reimburse Tenant for the Takeover Rent in an aggregate amount which exceeds $1,500,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commencement Date does not occur on or prior to August 15, 2017, then for each day after such date until the Commencement Date occurs, all references to $1,500,000 in this Section shall be reduced by $1,728.11 for each day thereafter until the Commencement Date occurs.

(d) Subject to the provisions of this Article 32, Landlord agrees to provide Guarantor with the monthly installment of Takeover Rent that Guarantor is required to pay to Guarantor’s Present Lessor with respect to the period commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the Takeover Date and ending on the date of the expiration of the term of Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement (or sooner termination thereof provided such

termination includes a release of Guarantor from any Takeover Rent obligations under Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement accruing after such termination date or the termination of this Lease, whichever occurs first. Promptly following Guarantor’s receipt of the same, Guarantor shall provide Landlord with a copy of the rent xxxx for the month preceding the Takeover Date and Landlord shall include in each monthly installment of the Takeover Rent an amount on account of Escalation Payments based on the amounts so shown on such rent xxxx, subject to the terms of this Article 32.

In furtherance of the foregoing, the Takeover Rent shall not include amounts billed to Guarantor after the Takeover Date that relate in any manner to the period prior to the Takeover Date. In the event that there shall be an abatement of fixed rent and/or Escalation Payments under Tenant’s Present Letting Agreement, the Takeover Amount shall be equitably reduced to reflect such abatement (provided that the term of the Tenant’s Present Letting Agreement is not automatically extended as the result of such abatement). No payment or credit shall be required by Landlord for periods during which an Event of Default exists; provided that upon Tenant’s cure of any such defaults, such payments or credits shall be immediately paid or credited to Guarantor. Landlord shall not be responsible for any additional rent, costs or other charges or payments attributable to Tenant’s default, negligence, or misconduct under Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement unless caused by Landlord’s Subtenants (as hereinafter defined).

Section 32.5 In the event that the monthly rental amounts Guarantor must pay to Guarantor’s Present Lessor shall be modified on account of changes in the Escalation Payments, Guarantor shall advise Landlord and deliver to Landlord a copy of the rent xxxx from Guarantor’s Present Lessor evidencing such modification and the monthly installment of Takeover Rent to be paid by Landlord shall be adjusted to reflect such modification. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may desire to cause an audit of operating expenses for escalation years occurring any time after the Takeover Date to the extent such audits are permitted by the Tenant’s Present Letting Agreement. Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with a copy of any operating expense statement provided to Tenant after its receipt thereof and, at Landlord’s request, shall exercise its right to cause an audit of the same. Any audit shall be performed by personnel selected by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (but subject to the limitations set forth in Tenant’s Present Letting Agreement). Any refund of Escalation Payments on account of the period preceding the first calendar month following the Takeover Date shall be for the benefit of Guarantor and any refunds on account of the period commencing with such month following the Takeover Date shall be for the benefit of Landlord.

Section 32.6 During the period after the Takeover Date, Guarantor agrees, upon request of Landlord, (i) to enter into one or more agreements with Guarantor’s Present Lessor surrendering all or any portions of Guarantor’s Present Space (including pursuant to Guarantor’s Present Lessor’s recapture rights), and/or (ii) subject to the approval of Guarantor’s Present Lessor, to assign its interest in and to Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement to any assignee or assignees designated by Landlord, and/or (iii) subject to the approval of Guarantor’s Present Lessor, and the terms of Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement, enter into one or more subleases affecting all or any portions of Guarantor’s Present Space with any sublessee or sublessees designated by Landlord (“Landlord Subtenants”) at any rental and upon any other

terms which Landlord may designate in said request, provided said terms do not violate any of the provisions of Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement and provided that Guarantor’s obligations under Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement shall not be increased without Guarantor’s consent. Any payments to Guarantor’s Present Lessor in connection with any of the aforesaid agreements and/or other transactions costs shall be borne by Landlord and not credited against the Takeover Amount (and Landlord agrees to indemnify Tenant and Guarantor in connection with such payments), but such amounts shall be deemed to be Transaction Costs (as hereinafter defined). Guarantor further agrees (i) to reasonably cooperate with Landlord to bring about any such proposed surrender agreement, assignment or sublease and obtain Guarantor’s Present Lessor’s agreement or consent thereto, including without limitation by delivering a notice to commence the recapture process in the Present Letting Agreement upon Landlord’s request provided that no such notice shall be delivered prior to the Takeover Date, and (ii) to timely deliver or cause to be delivered, at any time subsequent to the Takeover Date, the premises affected by any such surrender agreement, assignment or sublease to Guarantor’s Present Lessor in the condition required by the surrender agreement or the Present Letting Agreement. Once consummated, Guarantor shall not amend any such transaction documents without Landlord’s consent. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Guarantor harmless from and against any direct out-of-pocket loss, cost and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (but not holdover costs or consequential damages payable to Guarantor’s Present Lessor except as expressly provided below) arising out of a breach of or default under Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement or any damage to the Guarantor’s Present Space solely caused by or attributable to any Landlord’s Subtenant for failure to comply with the terms of its occupancy agreement with Tenant. Landlord does not need to obtain Guarantor’s consent to any proposed Landlord’s Subtenant, provided that (i) if Landlord does not obtain Guarantor’s consent (or Guarantor is asked by Landlord to consent and Guarantor refuses to consent), Landlord will retain all Sublease Profits (as hereinafter defined), if any, and bear all holdover costs (including consequential damages) incurred by Guarantor under the Present Letting Agreement in connection with such Landlord’s Subtenant holdover after the expiration of the applicable term and (ii) if Landlord does obtain Guarantor’s consent, Landlord and Guarantor will share the Sublease Profits (50/50) and each bear 50% of the holdover costs (including consequential damages) incurred in connection with such Landlord’s Subtenant’s holdover.

Section 32.7

(a) In the event that a surrender of all Guarantor’s Present Space shall be consummated, Landlord shall have no further obligation to make payments of the Takeover Amount and in the event that a partial surrender is effectuated the Takeover Amount shall be equitably reduced to reflect such surrender taking into account the proportion of the Takeover Rent which is no longer payable.

(b) In the event that Tenant shall receive any consideration as a result of an early termination of Tenant’s Present Letting Agreement in excess of the outstanding balance of the Takeover Amount, upon Tenant’s actual receipt thereof, Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any Present Letting Agreement Transaction Costs (as hereinafter defined) up to the then outstanding and unreimbursed Present Letting Agreement Transaction Costs, and any excess consideration may be retained by Tenant.

(c) In the event that any Landlord’s Subleases shall be consummated, all fixed and escalation rent and utility payments payable by the subtenants thereunder shall be applied by Guarantor to reduce the balance of the Takeover Amount payable by Landlord to

Tenant. Upon the balance of the Takeover Amount being reduced to zero, then within five (5) business days of Guarantor’s receipt of any monthly rental payments in excess of the Takeover Rent and other amounts then payable by Guarantor to Guarantor’s Present Lessor under Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement (including any profit sharing if required by Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement) (such amount, “Guarantor’s Monthly Rent Obligation” and such funds in excess thereof, the “Excess Monthly Sublease Rent”), (i) Guarantor shall remit such Excess Monthly Sublease Rent on a monthly basis until Landlord has received a full reimbursement for all Present Letting Agreement Transaction Costs actually incurred by Landlord.

(d) Once Landlord has received a full reimbursement of any Present Letting Agreement Transaction Costs actually incurred by Landlord, all funds in excess thereof (“Sublease Profits”) shall be payable as follows: (i) if Guarantor has previously approved such Landlord’s Sublease, Guarantor and Landlord shall share such Sublease Profits equally (50/50) and (ii) if Guarantor has not previously approved such Landlord’s Sublease, Landlord shall retain all such Sublease Profits

(e) As aforesaid, Guarantor shall not cancel, amend or supplement any sublease without Landlord’s consent and Guarantor also shall not waive any right to receive any payment from any subtenant. Guarantor shall use reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of any such sublease(s) and upon Landlord’s request shall take such actions or institute proceedings and diligently pursue the same as directed by Landlord to enforce the provisions of such sublease(s) and to enforce the provisions of Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement, using Landlord’s counsel or, at Landlord’s election, using Guarantor’s counsel at Landlord’s reasonable cost and expense (which reasonable costs and expenses shall either be billed directly to Landlord or shall be reimbursed by Landlord to Guarantor). At Landlord’s option and to the extent permissible, Guarantor shall assign to Landlord its right to institute, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, proceedings against such subtenant(s) to enforce the provisions of such sublease(s) and/or regain possession of the space affected by such sublease(s).

(f) As used herein, the term “Present Letting Agreement Transaction Costs” shall mean any and all reasonable third party costs related to a sublease, assignment, or early termination of Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, (i) any tenant improvement work allowance or any construction costs paid or to be paid in connection with such transaction, (ii) in the case of any sublease, any actual costs incurred in separately demising the sublet space, (iii) any brokerage payment due to a broker in connection with an assignment, sublease, or early termination of the Present Letting Agreement (which payment shall be paid by Landlord), and (v) any termination fees paid to Guarantor’s Present Lessor. Provided Present Letting Agreement Transaction Costs shall not include any indemnification paid or payable to Guarantor or Tenant in connection with Landlord’s Subleases.

Section 32.8 In the event that Landlord shall fail to timely pay or reimburse Guarantor for any Takeover Rent or any other amounts payable or reimbursable by Landlord to Guarantor pursuant to this Article 32 (and not in reasonably in dispute by Landlord) and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after Guarantor’s notice thereof to Landlord and Guarantor’s payment of such outstanding amounts to Guarantor’s Present Lessor, Tenant shall have the right, without further notice, so offset such amounts from any Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, provided no Event of Default then exists.

Section 32.9 Guarantor and Tenant shall not cause a default under the Guarantor’s Present Letting Agreement. In the event of any such default caused by Tenant or Guarantor, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss or liability (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) which Landlord may pay or incur by reason of such default.

Subject to Landlord’s obligation to complete any Punch List Items in respect of the Expansion Premises and Expansion Premises Latent Defects, Tenant’s occupancy of any portion of the Expansion Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Tenant has accepted possession of the Expansion Premises, in its then current condition and at the time such possession was taken, the Expansion Premises was in the condition required hereby.

Section 33.6 Landlord will commence the performance of the Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work reasonably promptly following the Expansion Premises Final Plans Approval

Date (as defined in Exhibit M attached hereto), subject to Tenant’s compliance with the provisions of this Lease, and, will complete Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with the standards applicable to the Building.

Section 33.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 33, provided no Event of Default then exists, then:

(a) if the Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work is Substantially Completed on or prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall receive a credit in the aggregate amount of $1,252,125 (the “Expansion Premises Rent Credit”) to be applied in equal monthly installments against Fixed Rent in respect of the Expansion Premises next due hereunder (i.e., such amount shall be applied to Fixed Rent for the Expansion Premises only); and

(b) if the Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work is substantially completed after the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Commencement Date but prior to the three (3) year anniversary of the Commencement Date, then Tenant shall receive a credit in the aggregate amount equal to the Pro Rata Share Expansion Premises Rent Credit (as hereinafter defined) to be applied in equal monthly installments against Fixed Rent in respect of the Expansion Premises next due hereunder. The “Pro Rata Share Expansion Premises Rent Credit” shall mean the product of (x) $1,715.24 multiplied by (y) the amount of days which occurs during the period commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date and ending on the date which is the three (3) year anniversary of the Commencement Date.

Any Design Problem shall be handled in accordance with the correction procedures established therefor in Section 2.2 of this Work Letter. If a Change Order is approved by Landlord, Landlord shall, together with its notice of approval, notify Tenant of its reasonable, good faith estimate (collectively, “Landlord’s Change Estimate”) of: (i) the cost (or savings) which will be chargeable to Tenant as a result of such Change Order, which cost (or savings) shall the actual additional out-of-pocket incremental cost (or savings) of the Change Order (without additional xxxx-up paid directly to Landlord), taking into account any costs savings as the result of such Change Order and payable by Tenant to Landlord in connection with such Change Order (“Change Cost”) and (ii) the delay, if any, in Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Premises Work (which shall include, without limitation, any additional time taken to renew such Change Order and revised plans and/or to obtain required permits or file documents with the NYC DOB, which Landlord shall diligently pursue) by reason of such Change Order (and shall be deemed a Tenant Delay for such delay period subject to Landlord’s ).

EXPANSION PREMISES WORK LETTER

1.1 As used herein “Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work” shall mean, collectively the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work and the Expansion Premises Base Building Work. The purpose of this Work Letter is to set forth (i) how the interior improvements to the Expansion Premises which Tenant desires to have completed in connection with Tenant’s initial occupancy of the Expansion Premises are to be constructed (“Expansion Premises Build-Out Work”), (ii) who will do the construction of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work, and (iii) who will pay for the construction of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work.

1.2 The terms, conditions and requirements of the Lease, except where clearly inconsistent or inapplicable to this Work Letter, are incorporated into this Work Letter.

2. Plans.

2.1 In accordance with the provisions of this Expansion Premises Work Letter, an architect engaged by Tenant and approved by Landlord (“Tenant’s Architect”) shall submit to Landlord for Landlord’s approval complete and detailed architectural, structural, mechanical and engineering plans and specifications (including, without limitation, sprinkler plans) for Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work (the “Expansion Premises Proposed Plans”), the cost and expense of which shall be paid for by Landlord (but subject to the terms and conditions of this Expansion Premises Work Letter, including, without limitation, reimbursement solely from the Expansion Premises Contribution). If applicable, the Proposed Plans shall include all information reasonably necessary to reflect Tenant’s requirements for ductwork, heating, electrical, plumbing and other mechanical systems and all work necessary to connect any special or non-standard facilities to the base-Building mechanical, electrical and structural systems. Tenant’s submission of the Proposed Plans shall include not less than 5 sets of sepias and 5 sets of black and white prints (or other forms which are customary and are reasonably acceptable to Landlord). The Proposed Plans shall also include the following:

(a) locations and structural design of the floor area;

(b) indication of the density of occupancy in large work areas;

(d) identification of areas requiring 24-hour air conditioning;

(e) indication of any partitions that are to extend from floor to underside of structural slab above;

(f) identification of location of rooms for telephone equipment and data;

(g) indication of locations and types of plumbing, if any, required for toilets (other than core facilities), sinks, drinking fountains, and similar installations;

Exhibit G - 8

(h) indication of light switching of offices, conference rooms, etc.;

(i) layouts for specially installed equipment, including computers, size and capacity of mechanical and electrical services required, and heat generation of equipment;

(k) indication of number and location of sprinklers;

(l) indication of special fire protection equipment and raised flooring;

(m) reflected ceiling plan;

(n) information concerning air conditioning loads, including, but not limited to, air volume amounts at all supply vents;

(o) non-building standard ceiling heights and/or materials;

(p) materials, colors and designs of wall coverings and finishes;

(q) painting and decorative treatment required to complete all construction;

(r) swing of each door;

(s) schedule for doors (including dimensions for undercutting of doors to clear carpeting) and frames complete with hardware; and

(t) all other information necessary to make the Expansion Premises complete and in all respects ready for operation.

2.2 The development of the Expansion Premises Proposed Plans by Tenant’s Architect is expected to be a collaborative process among Landlord, Tenant and Tenant’s Architect, with Landlord reviewing and reasonably approving progressive stages of plan completion (i.e., 25%, 50% and 75% CDs) at reasonable intervals (and at each interval giving Landlord at least ten (10) Business Days to review each such stage of drawings). Within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord receives a stage of Proposed Plans, Landlord shall either approve or disapprove same (or provide a request for more information), which approval or disapproval shall be in accordance with the standards set forth in Sections 5.1(a) of the Lease with respect to Landlord’s approval or disapproval of Alterations (and any reasons for disapproval shall be referred to as, a “Design Problem”); provided that the failure of Landlord to respond to an initial submission within ten (10) Business Days or a resubmission after Landlord’s comment within seven (7) Business Days shall be a Landlord Delay. If Landlord determines that a Design Problem exists, it shall return the Expansion Premises Proposed Plans to Tenant together with a reasonably specific explanation of the applicable Design Problem. In such event, Tenant shall be required to make the revisions necessary (which

Exhibit G - 9

revisions shall not expand the scope of the work but shall only be responses or corrections to Landlord’s comments and/or the Design Problem(s) in question) in order to address Landlord’s comments and correct the Design Problem(s) in full and, within five (5) Business Days thereafter, return the revised Proposed Plans to Landlord, which Landlord shall then approve or disapprove (or provide a request for more information) within seven (7) Business Days after receipt. Each subsequent stage of plans provided to Landlord shall be a logical progression of the immediately preceding stage of plans approved by Landlord (subject to Change Orders as hereinafter defined). Landlord hereby approves Gensler as Tenant’s Architect for purposes of this Workletter.

2.3 Landlord’s standards for approval to the Expansion Premises Proposed Plans or a Change Order shall be subject to the standards set forth in Section 2.2 above. Landlord and Tenant shall exercise all reasonable diligence to cooperate in the expeditious pursuit of plan and contractor approval and the award of the construction contract and subcontracts in connection with Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work, including awarding portions of the construction contracts and obtaining permits based upon partially complete Expansion Premises Proposed Plans. The general contractor and construction manager shall have no obligation to self-certify permit applications and/or inspections.

2.4 Other than as specified above in Section 1.1 of this Expansion Premises Work Letter and any permitted exterior signage as set forth in the Lease, Landlord shall not be required to perform, and Tenant shall not request, work which would (i) require any material modification to the Building Systems or other Building installations outside the Premises, (ii) not comply with all applicable Requirements, and/or (iii) be incompatible with either the temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy issued for the Building (provided the same shall not limit Tenant’s right to obtain an amendment to the temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the Intended Use and the RDA Permitted Use) or the Building’s status as a first-class office building. Any changes required by any Governmental Authority affecting the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work shall be performed by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost (subject to reimbursement from Landlord’s Expansion Premises Contribution) provided that any changes orders required to effect such compliance shall be subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval to be granted or withheld within three (3) Business Days after request or such consent is deemed granted (the parties agreeing to work cooperatively to arrive at a mutually satisfactory resolution). Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of any material change in the Expansion Premises Proposed Plans required by any Governmental Authority promptly after Landlord receives notice thereof.

2.5 Tenant shall diligently pursue completion and approval of the complete set of Expansion Premises Proposed Plans (the “Final Expansion Premises Proposed Plans”) based on preliminary plan submissions previously reviewed and approved and to submit the same to Landlord for approval on or before July 1, 2019. Within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord receives the Final Expansion Premises Proposed Plans, Landlord shall either approve or disapprove same pursuant to the procedures set forth above in Section 2.2 (as finally approved by Landlord with written approval delivered to Tenant, the “Final Expansion Premises Plans”), and the date such Final Expansion Premises Plans are approved by Landlord shall be the “Final Expansion Premises Plans Approval Date”.

2.6 Tenant shall not make any material changes to logical progression of the Proposed Plans nor any changes in the Final Expansion Premises Plans without Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that Landlord may, in the exercise of its sole and absolute discretion, disapprove any

Exhibit G - 10

proposed changes adversely affecting the Building’s structure, any of the Building Systems, or the exterior appearance or value of the Building.

3. Work and Costs.

3.1 Landlord will engage a construction manager (“Construction Manager”) to act as construction manager for the planning and performance of Landlord’s Premises Work, which Construction Manager shall be subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval (which approval shall be granted or denied within three (3) business days after request therefor, and the failure to respond within such time period shall be deemed to mean that Tenant has approved the Construction Manager in question).

3.2 Subject to the provisions of Section 2 and this Section 3, Landlord shall perform or cause to be performed all of the work depicted on the Final Expansion Premises Plans. Landlord shall be responsible for all the costs and expenses to design and complete the Expansion Premises Base Building Work. Landlord shall also pay for the Expansion Premises Premises Build-Out Work on the Expansion Premises Final Plans (and all architectural costs, engineering costs, general contractor costs, and the cost of all local and state filing fees and permits required to be obtained in order to perform such work) to the extent and only to the extent of an aggregate expenditure with respect to all the aforementioned costs in an amount not to exceed Landlord’s Expansion Premises Contribution (as defined above in the Lease). Tenant shall pay for the cost of any work or materials depicted on the Expansion Premises Final Plans and/or other costs directly related to the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work, including, without limitation all architectural costs of Tenant’s Architect, engineering costs, project management fees, general contractor costs, and the costs of all filing fees and permits required by any Governmental Authority and incurred by Landlord in connection with the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work, which are in excess of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Contribution (“Tenant’s Expansion Premises Contribution”), which excess shall be paid in accordance with the following: (1) 34% of the then estimated (based upon the sum of the winning bids or the amount of the fixed priced or GMP type contract as reasonably determined by Landlord) Tenant’s Expansion Premises Contribution shall be paid within ten (10) days after submission to Tenant of a reasonably detailed summary with applicable supporting documentation from Landlord or Construction Manager but no earlier than the earlier of awarding or selecting the winning bids for substantially all the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work or sooner finalizing of a fixed price or GMP type contract between Landlord and the Construction Manager or general contractor, (2) 33% of the then estimated (based upon the sum of the winning bids or the amount of the fixed priced or GMP type contract as reasonably determined by Landlord) Tenant’s Expansion Premises Contribution shall be paid within ten (10) days after 50% of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work is Substantially Completed (as reasonably determined Landlord and certified by Landlord’s Architect), and (3) the balance of Tenant’s Expansion Premises Contribution shall be paid within ten (10) days after the earlier of (x) Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work and (y) Tenant’s occupancy of the Expansion Premises for the conduct of business. The payments to be made by Tenant as provided in this Section 3.2 shall be collectible in the same manner as Additional Rent under the Lease, whether or not the Term of the Lease shall have commenced. The Tenant Expansion Premises Contribution shall be immediately payable upon an Event Default. All Change Costs shall be paid as set forth in Section 6 below.

3.3 Landlord shall submit to Tenant, as soon as reasonably practicable, the total estimated cost of the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work (which shall be updated regularly during the development of the Proposed Plans as provided above).

Exhibit G - 11

3.4 Intentionally Deleted.

3.5 Tenant approves of CBRE, Inc. (or another project manager selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant (which approval shall be granted or denied within three (3) business days after request therefor, and the failure to respond within such time period shall be deemed to mean that Tenant has approved the project manager in question)) to act as project manager (“Project Manager”) to assist with the planning and performance of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work. Project Manager shall be paid an amount equal to 3% of the cost of the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work (the “Project Manager Fee”), which shall be deducted from Landlord’s Expansion Premises Contribution. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that Landlord shall not receive a supervisory or override fee in respect of the performance of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work.

3.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Lease, during the performance of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work, the cost of any overtime freight elevator use shall be limited to the actual costs Landlord incurs for the use thereof (i.e., there shall be no additional xxxx-up in addition to such actual costs). In that regard, Landlord shall use the services of the overtime freight elevators in a reasonable and customary manner and for reasonable and customary needs in connection with prudent construction practices for similar projects.

3.8 Intentionally Deleted.

3.9 Subject to costs specifically and expressly provided for herein (e.g., costs related to Change Orders as provided herein), Landlord shall be solely responsible for all costs and expense incurred in connection with designing and completing the Expansion Premises Base Building Work, including, without limitation, hard costs, architect’s fees, and any construction management fee (or the Construction Management Fee, if applicable). Subject to Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Contribution (with respect to the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work), Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost and expense of completing the Expansion Premises Build-Out Work, including, without limitation, hard costs, engineering fees, Tenant’s Architect’s fees, and the Construction Management Fee. Landlord shall be solely responsible for performing all of the foregoing work described in this Section 3.9.

3.10 Within 30 days following the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Expansion Premises and 60 days after final completion of the same, Landlord, upon Tenant’s request, shall provide Tenant with a preliminary accounting and then final accounting in reasonable detail, together with all backup and supporting materials reasonably requested by Tenant, prepared by Landlord for all amounts incurred in connection with such Landlord’s Work and Landlord’s Roof Work (but excluding the Expansion Premises Base Building Work. Upon mutual agreement of the finality thereof, there shall be adjustments between Landlord and Tenant to the end that Landlord or Tenant has underpaid or overpaid any amount due from such party pursuant to the terms of this Work Letter. Any overpayment by Tenant shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the determination thereof. In the event that Tenant and Landlord are unable to agree on the finality of any adjustments after using good faith efforts to resolve the same for at least thirty (30) days and after Tenant sends in writing a reasonably detailed explanation of the amounts in dispute, then Tenant and Landlord shall appoint an EP Approved Examiner to resolve any such adjustments, whose determination shall be binding upon the parties. Any underpayment by Tenant shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after determination thereof. “EP Approved Examiner” means a certified public accountant or other qualified professional who is a member of a reputable, independent certified

Exhibit G - 12

public accounting firm or other reputable, qualified professional services firm having at least fifty (50) accounting professionals who are certified public accountants and who is mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant; provided that if Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon an EP Approved Examiner then Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a certified public accountant and each appointee shall appoint a single certified public accountant or other qualified professional meeting the qualifications set forth above to be the EP Approved Examiner. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall bear the costs of its appointee hereunder and share equally the costs of the EP Approved Examiner.

4. Tenant Delay.

4.1 If Landlord shall be delayed in Substantially Completing Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work as a result of any act, neglect, failure or omission of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, contractors or sub-contractors, including, without limitation, any of the following, such delay shall be a Tenant Delay to the extent such delay actually results in a delay in the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work:

(b) Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations which are not readily available at the time Landlord is ready to install same (e.g., long lead items); or

(d) the performance of work by a person, firm or corporation employed by Tenant and delays in the completion of the said work by said person, firm or corporation; or

(e) Tenant’s failure to timely pay for the cost of Tenant’s Expansion Premises Contribution pursuant to Section 3.4; or

(f) Tenant’s failure to supply Final Expansion Premises Proposed Plans in compliance with the terms hereof by July 1, 2019.

If the Expansion Premises Substantial Completion Date (as hereinafter defined) shall be delayed by reason of Tenant Delay, the Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work shall be deemed Substantially Completed for the purposes of determining the Commencement Date as of the date that the Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work would have been Substantially Completed but for any such Tenant Delay as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion (provided that Landlord shall continue to use all diligent efforts to complete such Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work).

To the extent that Tenant submits design drawings or other reasonably detailed to plans to Landlord prior to the submission of the Expansion Premises Proposed Plans, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to delineate items depicted thereon which may be reasonably expected to be long lead items. If long lead items are identified by Landlord, Landlord agrees to use reasonable

Exhibit G - 13

efforts to mitigate the length of time required to obtain and/or install such items, as applicable, or suggest reasonable alternatives and materials that may not be long lead items.

4.2 Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to any actual out-of-pocket incremental additional cost to Landlord in completing Landlord’s Expansion Premises Work resulting from (i) any Tenant Delay, and/or (ii) on account of any Change Orders.
