percentage as any percentage increase in the billing to

imposed on Lessor's electricity purchases, or for any

due to changes in rates or service classifications shall

as, additional rent. In the event that such bills are not
paid within five (5) days after the same are rendered.
Lessor may, without further notice, discontinue the
service of electric current to the demised premises
without releasing Lessee from any liability under this
lease and without Lessor or Lessor's agent incurring any
liability for any damage or loss sustained by Lessee by
such discontinuance of service. If any tax is imposed
upon Lessor's receipt from the sale or resale of
electrical energy or gas or telephone service to Lessee
by any Federal, State or Municipal Authority, Lessee
covenants and agrees that, where permitted by law,
Lessee's pro-rata share of such taxes shall be passed on
to, and included in the xxxx of, and paid by, Lessee to
Lessor.
(b) Rent Inclusion: If and so long as Lessor provides
electricity to the demised premises on a rent inclusion
basis, Lessee agrees that the fixed annual rent shall be
increased by the amount of the Electricity Rent Inclusion
Factor ("ERIF"), as hereinafter defined. Lessee
acknowledges and agrees (i) that the fixed annual rent
hereinabove set forth in this lease does not yet, but is
to include an ERIF of $2.95 per rentable square foot to
compensate Lessor for electrical wiring and other
installations necessary for, and for its obtaining and
making available to Lessee the redistribution of,
electric current as an additional service; and (ii) that
said ERIF, which shall be subject to periodic adjustments
as hereinafter provided, has been partially based upon an
estimate of the Lessee's connected electrical load, which
shall be deemed to be the demand (KW), and hours of use
thereof, which shall be deemed to be the energy (KWH) for
ordinary lighting and light office equipment and the
operation of the usual small business machines, including
Xerox or other copying machines (such lighting and
equipment are hereinafter called "Ordinary Equipment")
during ordinary business hours ("ordinary business hours"
shall be deemed to mean 50 hours per week), with Lessor
providing an average connected load of 4 1/2 xxxxx of
electricity for all purposes per rentable square foot.
Any installation and use of equipment other than Ordinary
Equipment and/or any connected load and/or any energy
usage by Lessee in excess of the foregoing shall result
in adjustment of the ERIF as hereinafter provided. For
purposes of this Article the rentable square foot area of
the presently demised premises shall be deemed to be
10,624 square feet.
If the cost to Lessor of electricity shall have been, or
shall be, increased or decreased subsequent to May 1,
1993 (whether such change occurs prior to or during the
term of this lease), by change in Lessor's electric rates
or service classifications, or by any increase,
subsequent to the last such electric rate or service
classification change, in fuel adjustments or charges of
any kind, or by taxes, imposed on Lessor's electricity
purchases, or for any other such reason, then the ERIF,
which is a portion of the fixed annual rent, shall be
changed in the same percentage as any such change in cost
due to changes in electric rates or service
classifications, and, also, Lessee's payment obligation,
for electricity redistribution, shall change from time to
time so as to reflect any such increase in fuel
adjustments or charges, and taxes. Any such percentage
increases in Lessor's cost due to changes in electric
rates or service classifications shall be computed by the
application of the average consumption (energy and
demand) of electricity for the entire building for the
twelve (12) full months immediately prior to the rate
and/or service classification change, other change in
cost, or any changed methods of or rules on billing for
same, on a consistent basis to the new rate and/or
service classification and to the immediately prior
existing
7
rate and/or service classifications. If the average
consumption of electricity for the entire building for
said prior twelve (12) months cannot reasonably be
applied and used with respect to changed methods of or
rules on billing, then the percentage increase shall be
computed by the use of the average consumption (energy
and demand) for the entire building for the first three
(3) months after such change, projected to a full twelve
(12) months, so as to reflect the different seasons; and
the same consumption, so projected, shall be applied to
the rate and/or service classification which existed
immediately prior to the change.
The parties agree that a reputable, independent
electrical consultant, selected by Lessor ("Lessor's
electrical consultant"), shall determine the percentage
change for the changes in the ERIF due to Lessor's
changed costs, and that Lessor's electrical consultant
may from time to time make surveys in the demised
premises of the electrical equipment and fixtures and the
use of current. (i) If any such survey shall reflect an
average connected load in the demised premises in excess
of 4 1/2 xxxxx of electricity for all purposes per
rentable square foot and/or energy usage in excess of
ordinary business hours (each such excess is hereinafter
called "excess electricity") then the connected load
and/or the hours of use portion(s) of the then existing
ERIF shall each be increased by an amount which is equal
to a fraction of the then existing ERIF, the numerator of
which is the excess electricity (i.e. excess connected
load and/or excess usage) and the denominator of which is
the average connected load and/or the usage thereof which
was the basis for the computation of the then existing
ERIF. Such fractions shall be determined by Lessor's
electrical consultant. The fixed annual rent shall then
be appropriately adjusted, effective as of the date of
any such change in connected load and/or usage, as
disclosed by said survey. (ii) If such survey shall
disclose installation and use of other than Ordinary
Equipment, then effective as of the date of said survey,
there shall be added to the ERIF portion of the fixed
annual rent (computed and fixed as hereinabove described)
an additional amount equal to what would be paid under
the SC-4 Rate I Service Classification in effect on May
1, 1993 (and not the time-of-day rate schedule) for such
load and usage of electricity, with the connected load
deemed to be the demand (KW) and the hours of use thereof
deemed to be the energy (KWH), as hereinbefore provided,
(which addition to the ERIF shall be increased or
decreased by all electricity cost changes of Lessor, as
hereinabove provided, from May 1, 1993 through the date
of billing).
In no event, whether because of surveys or for any other
reason, is the originally specified $2.95 per rentable
square fool ERIF portion of the fixed annual rent (plus
any net increase thereof, but not decrease, by virtue of
all electric rate or service classification changes
subsequent to May 1, 1993) to be reduced.
(c) General Conditions: The determinations by Lessor's
electrical consultant shall be binding and conclusive on
Lessor and on Lessee from and after the delivery of
copies of such determinations to Lessor and Lessee,
unless, within fifteen (15) days after delivery thereof,
Lessee disputes such determination. If Lessee so disputes
the determination, it shall at its own expense, obtain
from a reputable, independent electrical consultant its
own determinations in accordance with the provisions of
this Article. Lessee's consultant and Lessor's consultant
then shall seek to agree. If they cannot agree within
thirty (30) days they shall choose a third reputable
electrical consultant, whose cost shall be shared equally
by the parties, to make similar determinations which
shall be controlling. (If they cannot agree on such third
consultant within (10) days, then either party may apply
to the Supreme Court in the County of New York for such
appointment.) However, pending such controlling
determinations, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the amount of
additional rent or ERIF in accordance with the
determinations of Lessor's electrical consultant. If the
controlling determinations differ from Lessor's
electrical consultant, then the parties shall promptly
make adjustment for any deficiency owed by Lessor or
overage paid by Lessee.
At the option of Lessor, Lessee agrees to purchase from
Lessor or its agents all lamps and bulbs used in the
demised premises and to pay for the cost of installation
thereof. Lessor shall not be liable to Lessor for any
loss or damage or expense which Lessee may sustain or
incur if either the quantity or character of electric
service is changed or is no longer available or suitable
for Lessee's requirements. Lessee covenants and agrees
that at all times its use of electric current shall never
exceed the capacity of existing feeders to the building
or the risers or wiring installation. Lessee agrees not
to connect any additional electrical equipment to the
building electric distribution system, other than lamps,
typewriters and other small office machines which consume
comparable amounts of electricity, without Lessor's prior
written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Any riser or risers to supply Lessee's
electrical requirements, upon written request of Lessee,
will be installed by Lessor, at the sole cost and expense
of Lessee, if, in Lessor's sole judgment, the same are
necessary and will not cause permanent damage or injury
to the building or demised premises or cause or create a
dangerous or
8
hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable
alterations, repairs or expense or interfere with or
disturb other tenants or occupants. In addition to the
installation of such riser or risers, Lessor will also at
the sole cost and expense of Lessee, install all other
equipment proper and necessary in connection therewith
subject to the aforesaid terms and conditions. The
parties acknowledge that they understand that it is
anticipated that electric rates, charges, etc., may be
changed by virtue of time-of-day rates or other methods
of billing, and that the references in the foregoing two
paragraphs to changes in methods of or rules on billing
are intended to include any such changes. Supplementing
Article 53 hereof, if all or part of the submetering
additional rent or the ERIF payable in accordance with
Subdivision (A) or (B) of this Article becomes
uncollectible or reduced or refunded by virtue of any
law, order or regulation, the parties agree that, at
Lessor's option, in lieu of submetering additional rent
or ERIF, and in consideration of Lessee's use of the
building's electrical distribution system and receipt of
redistributed electricity and payment by Lessor of
consultants' fees and other redistribution costs, the
fixed annual rental rate(s) to be paid under this Lease
shall be increased by an "alternative charge" which shall
be a sum equal to $2.95 per year per rentable sq. ft. of
the demised premises, changed in the same percentage as
any changes in the cost to Lessor for electricity for the
entire building subsequent to May 1, 1993, because of
electric rate or service classification changes, as in
Subdivision (B) hereof provided, and such percentage
change to be computed as in Subdivision (B) provided. The
Lessor reserves the right, at any time upon thirty (30)
days' written notice, to change its furnishing of
electricity to Lessee from a rent inclusion basis to a
submetering basis, or vice versa. The Lessor reserves the
right to terminate the furnishing of electricity on a
rent inclusion, submetering, or any other basis at any
time, upon thirty (30) days' written notice to the
Lessee, in which event the Lessee may make application
directly to the public utility for the Lessee's entire
separate supply of electric current and Lessor shall
permit its wires and conduits, to the extent available
and safely capable, to be used for such purpose. Any
meters, risers or other equipment or connections
necessary to furnish electricity on a submetering basis
or to enable Lessee to obtain electric current directly
from such utility shall be installed at Lessee's sole
cost and expense. Only rigid conduit or electricity metal
tubing (EMT) will be allowed. The Lessor, upon the
expiration of the aforesaid thirty (30) days' written
notice to the Lessee may discontinue furnishing the
electric current but this lease shall otherwise remain in
full force and effect. If Lessee was provided electricity
on a rent inclusion basis when it was so discontinued,
then commencing when Lessee receives such direct service
and as long as Lessee shall continue to receive such
service, the fixed annual rental rate payable under this
lease shall be reduced by the amount of the ERIF which
was payable immediately prior to such discontinuance of
electricity on a rent inclusion basis.
TWENTY-THIRD:-(a) If Landlord installs a water meter to
measure Tenant's water consumption for all purposes,
Tenant shall pay Landlord for the cost of the meter and
the cost of the installation thereof and throughout the
duration of Tenant's occupancy Tenant shall keep said
meter and installation equipment in good working order
and repair at Tenant's own cost and expense, in default
of which Landlord may cause such meter and equipment to
be replaced or repaired and collect the cost thereof from
Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown
on said meter as and when bills are rendered, and on
default in making such payment Landlord may pay such
charges and collect the same from Tenant. Landlord may
inspect such water meter at any time and shall have
access thereto at all times for the purpose of such
inspection.
(b) In addition to the foregoing, Tenant agrees to pay
its proportionate share of the water consumed in the
toilets and other portions of the premises over which
Landlord may reserve control, irrespective of the fact
that the same shall be located outside of the demised
premises.
(c) Tenant covenants and agrees to pay its pro-rata share
of the sewer rent, charge or any other tax, rent levy or
charge which now or hereafter is assessed, imposed or a
lien upon the demised premises or the realty of which
they are part pursuant to law, order or regulation made
or issued in connection with the use, consumption,
maintenance or supply of water, water system or sewage or
sewage connection or system.
(d) The xxxx rendered by Landlord for metered water,
sewer or any other charges provided for in this paragraph
"23," shall be based upon Tenant's consumption and shall
be payable by Tenant as additional rent. Any such costs
or expenses incurred or payments made by Landlord for any
of the reasons or purposes hereinabove stated, shall be
deemed to be additional rent payable by Tenant and
collectible by Landlord as such. If the building or the
demised premises or any part thereof be supplied with
water through a meter through which water is also
supplied to other premises. Tenant shall pay to Landlord
as additional rent, on the first day of each month,
$128.00 as Tenant's portion. Independently of and in

York Board of Fire Underwriters or the New York Fire
Insurance Rating Organization or any bureau, department
or official of the State or City Government, require or
recommend that any changes, modifications, alterations or
additional sprinkler heads or other equipment be made or
supplied by reason of Tenant's business, or the location
of partitions, trade fixtures, or other contents of the
demised premises, or for any other reason, or if any such
changes, modifications, alterations, additional sprinkler
heads or other equipment, become necessary to prevent the
imposition of a penalty or charge against the full
allowance for a sprinkler system in the fire insurance
rate as fixed by said Rating Organization, or by any Fire
Insurance Company, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense,
promptly make and supply such changes, modifications,
alterations, additional sprinkler heads or other
equipment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional

additions or improvements as are caused to be furnished
or made by Landlord shall be payable by Tenant as
additional rent upon presentation of Landlord's xxxx for
same. The non-functioning or defective functioning of
said air conditioning system, or Tenant's inability to
operate or maintain the same in compliance with lawful
requirements, or any delay, discomfort or inconvenience
suffered by Tenant in connection therewith, or, without
limitation of or by the foregoing, any other matter or
thing related to such system, shall not give rise to any
obligation or liability on the part of Landlord and shall
not affect this lease or be deemed to release or
discharge Tenant of any of Tenant's obligations or
liabilities under this lease or otherwise. Title to said
system and all present and future parts thereof is and
shall be vested in Landlord.

FIRE THIRTY-FIFTH: -- Provided the damage be not caused
by the fault or neglect of Tenant or of its employees,
agents, visitors or licensees, in the event of damage by
fire, or other action of the elements, to the demised
premises not rendering all of them unfit for occupancy.
Landlord shall repair the same with reasonable dispatch
after notice of such damage, and the rent accrued or
accruing shall not cease: but if the damage be so
extensive, as to render all of the demised premises
untenantable, the rent shall cease until they be
repaired, provided the damage be not caused by the
carelessness or negligence of Tenant or of the agents or
servants of Tenant. No penalty shall accrue for
reasonable delay which may arise by reason of adjustment
of insurance on the part of Landlord and/or Tenant, and
for reasonable delay on account of "labor troubles" or
any other cause beyond Landlord's control. If the demised
premises are totally damaged or are rendered wholly
untenantable by fire or other cause, and if Landlord
shall decide not to restore or not to rebuild the same,
or if the building shall be so damaged that Landlord
shall decide to demolish it or to rebuild it or if the
cost of restoration of the
12
building of which the demised premises are a part,
resulting from the aforesaid fire or other casualty shall
exceed the sum of $3.000.000, then or in any of such
events Landlord may, within ninety (90) days after such
fire or other cause, give Tenant a notice in writing of
termination which notice shall be given as provided in
this lease, and thereupon the term of this lease shall
expire by lapse of time upon the third day after such
notice is given, and Tenant shall vacate the demised
premises and surrender the same to Landlord. If Tenant
shall not be in default under this lease then, upon the
termination of this lease under the conditions provided
for in the sentence immediately preceding. Tenant's
liability for rent shall cease as of the day following
the casualty. Tenant hereby expressly waives the
provisions of Section 227 of the Real Property Law and
agrees that the foregoing provisions of this paragraph
shall govern and control in lieu thereof. If the damage
or destruction be due to the fault or neglect of Tenant,
the debris shall be removed by and at the expense of
Tenant.
THIRTY-SIXTH:--If the whole or any part of the CONDEMNATION
demised premises shall be acquired or condemned by
Eminent Domain for any public or quasi public use or
purpose, then and in that event, the term of this lease
shall cease and terminate from the date of title vesting
in such proceeding. If any part of the land or the
building of which the demised premises are a part shall
be so acquired or condemned, then and in that event the
term of this lease, at the option of Landlord, shall
cease and terminate on ten (10) days' notice by Landlord
to Tenant. In neither event shall Tenant have any claim
for the value of any unexpired term of said lease.
THIRTY-SEVENTH:--If, when and to the extent BANKRUPTCY

bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion
of Tenant's property, and within thirty (30) days thereof
Tenant fails to secure a discharge thereof, or if Tenant
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
petition for or enter into an arrangement, this lease
shall ipso facto be cancelled and terminated, and in
which event, neither Tenant nor any person claiming
through or under Tenant or by virtue of any statute or of
an order of any court shall be entitled to possession of
the demised premises and Landlord, in addition to the
other rights and remedies given by (c) hereof and by
virtue of any other provision herein or elsewhere in this
lease contained or by virtue of any statute or rule of
law, may retain as liquidated damages any rent, security,
deposit or monies, received by him from Tenant or others

(i) The term "Base Year" shall mean the full 1994 (see Ric 4% Cap
calendar year during which the term of this lease
commences.
(ii) The term "Price Index" shall mean the 'Consumer

(presently denominated "CPI-U"), or a successor or
substitute index appropriately adjusted.
(iii) The term "Price Index for the Base Year" shall
mean the average of the monthly All Items Price Indexes
for each of the 12 months of the Base Year.
(b) Effective as of each January and July subsequent
to the Base Year, there shall be made a cost of living
adjustment of the fixed annual rental rate payable
hereunder. The July adjustment shall be based on the
percentage difference between the Price Index for the
preceding month of June and the Price Index for the Base
Year. The January adjustment shall be based on such
percentage difference between the Price Index for the
preceding month of December and the Price Index for the
Base Year.
(i) In the event the Price Index for June in any
calendar year during the term of this lease reflects an
increase over the Price Index for the Base Year, then the
fixed annual rent herein provided to be paid as of the
July 1st following such month of June (unchanged by any
adjustments under this Article) shall be multiplied by
the percentage difference between the Price Index for
June and the Price Index for the Base Year, and the

(unchanged by any adjustments under this Article) shall
be multiplied by the percentage difference between the
Price Index for December and the Price Index for the Base
Year, and the resulting sum shall be added to such fixed
annual rent effective as of such January 1st. Said
adjusted fixed annual rent shall thereafter be payable
hereunder, in equal monthly installments, until it is
readjusted pursuant to the terms of this lease.
The following illustrates the intentions of the
parties hereto as to the computation of the
aforementioned cost of living adjustment in the annual
rent payable hereunder.
Assuming that said fixed annual rent is $10,000,
that the Price Index for the Base Year was 102.0 and that
the Price Index for the month of June in a calendar year
following the Base Year was 105.0, then the percentage
increase thus reflected, i.e. 2.941% (3.0/102.0) would be
multiplied by 510,000, and said fixed annual rent would
be increased by $294.10 effective as of July 1st of said
calendar year.
In the event that the Price Index ceases to use
82-84=100 as the basis of calculation or if a substantial
change is made in the terms or number of items contained
in the Price Index, then the Price Index shall be
adjusted to the figure that would have been arrived at
had the manner of computing the Price Index in effect at
the date of this lease not been altered. In the event
such Price Index (or a successor or substitute index) is
not available, a reliable governmental or other
non-partisan publication evaluating the information
theretofore used in determining the Price Index shall be
used.
No adjustments or recomputations, retroactive or
otherwise, shall be made due to any revision which may
later be made in the first published figure of the Price
Index for any month.
19
(c) Landlord will cause statements of the cost of
living adjustments provided for in subdivision (b) to be
prepared in reasonable detail and delivered to Tenant.
(d) In no event shall the fixed annual rent
originally provided to be paid under this lease
(exclusive of the adjustments under this Article) be
reduced by virtue of this Article.
(e) Any delay or failure of Landlord, beyond July or
January of any year, in computing or billing for the rent
adjustments hereinabove provided, shall not constitute a
waiver of or in any way impair the continuing obligation
of Tenant to pay such rent adjustments hereunder.
(f) Notwithstanding any expiration or termination of
this lease prior to the lease expiration date (except in
the case of a cancellation by mutual agreement) Tenant's
obligation to pay rent as adjusted under this Article
shall continue and shall cover all periods up to the
lease expiration date, and shall survive any expiration
or termination of this lease.
TAX FIFTY-EIGHTH:-- Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as
ESCALATION additional rent, tax escalation in accordance with this
Article:
(a) Definitions: For the purpose of this Article,
the following definitions shall apply:
(i) The term "base tax year" as hereinafter set
forth for the determination of real estate tax
escalation, shall mean the New York City real estate
tax year commencing July 1, 1994 and ending June 30,
1995.
(ii) The term "The Percentage", for purposes of
computing tax escalation, shall mean Two & ten
hundreths of one percent (2.10%). The Percentage has
been computed on the basis of a fraction, the
numerator of which is the rentable square foot area
of the presently demised premises and the
denominator of which is the total rentable square
foot area of the office and commercial space in the
building project. The parties acknowledge and agree
that the rentable square foot area of the presently
demised premises shall be deemed to be 10,624 sq.ft.
and that the total rentable square foot area of the
office and commercial space in the building project
shall be deemed to be 505,591 sq.ft.
(iii) The term "the building project" shall
mean the aggregate combined parcel of land on a
portion of which are the improvements of which the
demised premises form a part, with all the
improvements thereon, said improvements being a part
of the block and lot for tax purposes which are
applicable to the aforesaid land.
(iv) The term "comparative year" shall mean the
twelve (12) months following the base tax year, and
each subsequent period of twelve (12) months (or
such other period of twelve (12) months occurring
during the term of this lease as hereafter may be
duly adopted as the fiscal year for real estate tax
purposes by the City of New York).
(v) The term "real estate taxes" shall mean the
total of all taxes and special or other assessments
levied, assessed or imposed at any time by any
governmental authority upon or against the building
project, and also any tax or assessment levied,
assessed or imposed at any time by any governmental
authority in connection with the receipt of income
or rents from said building project to the extent
that same shall be in lieu of all or a portion of
any of the aforesaid taxes or assessments, or
additions or increases thereof, upon or against said
building project. If, due to a future change in the
method of taxation or in the taxing authority, or
for any other reason, a franchise, income, transit,
profit or other tax or governmental imposition,
however designated, shall be levied against Landlord
in substitution in whole or in part for the real
estate taxes, or in lieu of additions to or
increases of said real estate taxes, then such
franchise, income, transit, profit or other tax or
governmental imposition shall be deemed to be
included within the definition of "real estate
taxes" for the purposes hereof. As to special
assessments which are payable over a period of time
extending beyond the term of this lease, only a pro
rata portion thereof, covering the portion of the
term of this lease unexpired at the time of the
imposition of such assessment, shall be included in
"real estate taxes". If, by law, any assessment may
be paid in installments, then, for the purposes
hereof (a) such assessment shall be deemed to have
been payable, in the maximum number of installments
permitted by law and (b) there shall be included in
real estate taxes, for each comparative year in
which such installments may be paid, the
installments of such assessment so becoming payable
during such comparative year, together with interest
payable during such comparative year.
20
(vi) Where a "transition assessment" is imposed
by the City of New York for any tax (fiscal) year,
then the phrases "assessed value" and "assessments"
shall mean the transition assessment for that tax
(fiscal) year.
(vii) The phrase "real estate taxes payable
during the base tax year" shall mean that amount
obtained by multiplying the assessed value of the
land and buildings of the building project for the
base tax year by the tax rate for the base tax year
for each $100 of such assessed value.
(b) 1. In the event that the real estate taxes
payable for any comparative year shall exceed the amount
of the real estate taxes payable during the base tax
year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent
for such comparative year, an amount equal to The
Percentage of the excess. Before or after the start of
each comparative year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a
statement of the real estate taxes payable for such
comparative year, and a statement of the real estate
taxes payable during the base tax year. If the real
estate taxes payable for such comparative year exceed the
real estate taxes payable during the base tax year,
additional rent for such comparative year, in an amount
equal to The Percentage of the excess, shall be due from
Tenant to Landlord, and such additional rent shall be
payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after
receipt of the aforesaid statement The benefit of any
discount for any earlier payment or prepayment of real
estate taxes shall accrue solely to the benefit of
Landlord, and such discount shall not be subtracted from
the real estate taxes payable for any comparative year.
2. Should the real estate taxes payable during the
base tax year be reduced by final determination of legal
proceedings, settlement or otherwise, then, the real
estate taxes payable during the base tax year shall be
correspondingly revised, the additional rent theretofore
paid or payable hereunder for all comparative years shall
be recomputed on the basis of such reduction, and Tenant
shall pay to Landlord as additional rent, within ten (10)
days after being billed therefor, any deficiency between
the amount of such additional rent as theretofore
computed and the amount thereof due as the result of such
recomputations. Should the real estate taxes payable
during the base tax year be increased by such final
determination of legal proceedings, settlement or
otherwise, then appropriate recomputation and adjustment
also shall be made.
3. If, after Tenant shall have made a payment of
additional rent under this subdivision (c), Landlord
shall receive a refund of any portion of the real estate
taxes payable for any comparative year after the base tax
year on which such payment of additional rent shall have
been based, as a result of a reduction of such real
estate taxes by final determination of legal proceedings,
settlement or otherwise, Landlord shall within ten (10)
days after receiving the refund pay to Tenant The
Percentage of the refund less The Percentage of expenses
(including attorneys' and appraisers' fees) incurred by
Landlord in connection with any such application or
proceeding. If, prior to the payment of taxes for any
comparative year, Landlord shall have obtained a
reduction of that comparative year's assessed valuation
of the building project, and therefore of said taxes,
then the term "real estate taxes" for that comparative
year shall be deemed to include the amount of Landlord's
expenses in obtaining such reduction in assessed
valuation, inducting attorneys' and appraisers' fees.
4. The statements of the real estate taxes to be
furnished by Landlord as provided above shall be
certified by Landlord and shall constitute a final
determination as between Landlord and Tenant of the real
estate taxes for the periods represented thereby, unless
Tenant within thirty (30) days after they are furnished
shall give a written notice to Landlord that it disputes
their accuracy or their appropriateness, which notice
shall specify the particular respects in which the
statement is inaccurate or inappropriate. If Tenant shall
so dispute said statement then, pending the resolution of
such dispute, Tenant shall pay the additional rent to
Landlord in accordance with the statement furnished by
Landlord.
5. In no event shall the fixed annual rent under
this' lease (exclusive of the additional rents under this
Article) be reduced by virtue of this Article.
6. If the commencement date of the term of this
lease is not the first day of the first comparative year,
then the additional rent due hereunder for such first
comparative year shall be a proportionate share of said
additional rent for the entire comparative year, said
proportionate share to be based upon the length of time
that the lease term will be in existence during such
first comparative year. Upon the date of any expiration
or termination of this lease (except termination because
of Tenant's default) whether the same be the date
hereinabove set forth for the expiration of the term or
any prior or subsequent date, a proportionate share of
said additional rent for the comparative year during
which such expiration or termination occurs shall
immediately become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord,
if it was not theretofore already billed and paid. The
said proportionate share shall be based upon the length
of time that this lease shall have been in existence
21
during such comparative year. Landlord shall promptly
cause statements of said additional rent for that
comparative year to be prepared and furnished to Tenant.
Landlord and Tenant Shall thereupon make appropriate
adjustments of amounts then owing.
7. Landlord's and Tenant's obligations to make the
adjustments referred to in Subdivision (6) above shall
survive any expiration or termination of this lease.
8. Any delay or failure of Landlord in billing any
tax escalation hereinabove provided shall not constitute
a waiver of or in any way impair the continuing
obligation of Tenant to pay such tax escalation
hereunder.
OCCUPANCY AND USE FIFTY-NINTH:--(A). Tenant acknowledges that its
BY TENANT continued occupancy of the demised premises, and the
regular conduct of its business therein, are of utmost
importance to the Landlord in the renewal of other leases
in the building, in the renting of vacant space in the
building, in the providing of electricity, air
conditioning, steam and other services to the tenants in
the building, and in the maintenance of the character and
quality of the tenants in the building. Tenant therefore
covenants and agrees that it win occupy the entire
demised premises and will conduct its business therein
in the regular and usual manner, throughout the term of
this lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is
executing this lease in reliance upon these covenants and
that these covenants are a material element of
consideration inducing the Landlord to execute this
lease. Tenant further agrees that if it vacates the
demised premises or fails to so conduct its business
therein, at any time during the term of this lease,
without the prior written consent of the Landlord, then
all rent and additional rent reserved in this lease from
the date of such breach to the expiration date of this
lease shall become immediately due and payable to
Landlord.
(B). The parties recognize and agree that the damage
to Landlord resulting from any breach of the covenants in
subdivision (A) hereof will be extremely substantial will
be far greater than the rent payable, for the balance of
the term of this lease, and will be impossible of
accurate measurement. The parties therefore agree that in
the event of a breach or threatened breach of the said
covenants, in addition to all of Landlord's other rights
and remedies, at law or in equity or otherwise, Landlord
shall have the right of injunction to preserve Tenant's
occupancy and use. The words "become vacant or deserted"
as used elsewhere in this lease shall include Tenant's
failure to occupy or use as by this Article required.
(C). If Tenant breaches either of the covenants in
subdivision (A) above, and this lease be terminated
because of such default, then, in addition to Landlord's
rights of re-entry, restoration, preparation for and
rerental, and anything elsewhere in this lease to the
contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall retain its right
to judgment on and collection of Tenant's aforesaid
obligation to make a single payment to Landlord of a sum
equal to the total of all rent and additional rent
reserved for the remainder of the original term of this
lease, subject to future credit or repayment to Tenant in
the event of any rerenting of the premises by Landlord,
after first deducting from rerental income all expenses
incurred by Landlord in reducing to judgment or otherwise
collecting Tenant's aforesaid obligation, and in
obtaining possession of, restoring, preparing for and
re-letting the premises. In no event shall Tenant be
entitled to a credit or repayment for rerental income
which exceeds the sums payable by Tenant hereunder or
which covers a period after the original term of this
lease.
(D). If any provision of this Article of this lease
or the application thereof to any person or circumstance
shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the
remainder of this Article, or the application of such
provision to persons or circumstances other than those as
to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not
be affected thereby, and each provision of this Article
and of this lease shall be valid and be enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law.
SIXTIETH:--The Landlord shall be under no obligation
to provide access between the "A" Wing and the "B" Wing
on the floor of the premises demised herein, and any
passageways which may now or hereafter exist between said
wings may be discontinued at any time at the discretion
of the Landlord.
CAPTIONS SIXTY-FIRST:--The captions are inserted only as a
matter of convenience and for reference and in no way
define, limit or describe the scope of this lease nor the
intent of any provision thereof.
RULES AND SIXTY-SECOND:--Tenant and Tenant's servants,
REGULATIONS employees, agents, visitors, and licensees shall observe
and non-discriminate faithfully, and comply strictly
with, the Rules and Regulations and such other and
further reasonable and non-discrimination Rules and
Regulations as Landlord or Landlord's agents may from
time to time adopt. Notice of any additional rules or
regulations shall be given in such manner as Landlord may
elect. In case Tenant disputes the reasonableness of any
additional Rule or Regulation hereafter made or adopted
by Landlord or Landlord's agents, the parties hereto
agree to submit the question of the reasonableness of
such Rule or Regulation for decision to the
22
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Management
Division of The Real Estate Board of New York, Inc., or
to such impartial person or persons as he may designate,
whose determination shall be final and conclusive upon
the parties hereto. The right to dispute the
reasonableness of any additional Rule or Regulation upon
Tenant's part shall be deemed waived unless the same
shall be asserted by service of a notice in writing
upon Landlord within ten (10) days after the adoption of
any such additional Rule or Regulation. Nothing in this
lease contained shall be construed to impose upon
Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and
Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any
other lease, as against any other tenant and Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same
by any other tenant, its servants, employees, agents,
visitors or licensees.
The use in the demised premises of auxiliary heating
devices, such as portable electric heaters, heat lamps or
other devices whose principal function at the time of
operation is to produce space heating is prohibited.

lease is submitted to Tenant on the understanding that it
shall not be considered an offer and shall not bind
Landlord in any way until (i) Tenant has duly executed
and delivered duplicate originals to Landlord and (ii)
Landlord has executed and delivered one of said originals
to Tenant.
