“Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the 11th Floor Premises presently is served by an existing electrical capacity of 800 amps of electrical capacity at 208/110 volts (“800 Amps”) and that the foregoing provisions of this Section 43(A) only entitle Tenant to utilize 362 amps thereof without additional charge. Tenant wishes to utilize the entire 800 Amps and have the additional 438 amps of electrical capacity at 208/110 volts (“Additional Amperage”) continue to serve the 11th Floor Premises, and, simultaneously with the execution and exchange of this Agreement, is paying Landlord $32,850.00 for the right to so utilize the Additional Amperage.”
(C) Article 51 of the Existing Lease is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:
“51. Insurance
During the Term, Tenant shall pay for and keep in force general liability policies in standard form providing coverage on an occurrence basis including bodily injury and property damage liability, personal injury liability, contractual liability and fire legal liability, all subject to common terms and conditions. Such insurance is to be primary insurance, notwithstanding any insurance maintained by the indemnified parties, shall cover the operations of Tenant and shall contain no deductible or self-insurance except as reasonably approved by Landlord. Such insurance is to be secured with New York licensed insurers authorized to issue such policies, and reasonably approved by Landlord. The minimum limits of liability shall be a combined single limit for bodily injury and property damage of not less than $3,000,000.00 per
-4-
occurrence and annual aggregate per location. If at any time during the Term it appears that public liability or property damage limits in the City of New York for buildings similarly situated, due regard being given to the use and occupancy thereof, are higher than the foregoing limits, then Tenant shall increase the foregoing limits accordingly. Landlord (and each member thereof in the event Landlord is a partnership, joint venture or other entity) and Landlord’s managing agent (Landlord’s current managing agent is GVA Xxxxxxxx) shall be named as additional insureds in the aforesaid insurance policies. Tenant shall also secure and keep in force “all risk” property insurance covering all of its personal property, equipment, trade fixtures, goods, merchandise, furniture, furnishings and other items removable by Tenant located in the premises for the full replacement value thereof from time to time. All such policies shall guarantee that Landlord shall be afforded not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice of cancellation, non-renewal or material change of or to said insurance. Tenant shall deliver XXXXX 25 or 28, as appropriate, or the nearest equivalent if any such form is discontinued or superseded, certificates of insurance evidencing such policies, including the additional insureds as required above. Tenant shall Supply renewal certificates no less than ten (10) days prior to expiration. All premiums and charges for the aforesaid insurance shall be paid by Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to maintain any such required insurance, or to pay the premiums therefor when due, Landlord may obtain such insurance or make such payment and the cost thereof to Landlord shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant on demand as additional rent. Tenant shall not violate or permit to be violated any condition of any of said policies and Tenant shall perform and satisfy the requirements of the companies writing such policies.”
(D) Article 55 of the Existing Lease is deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:
“55. Estoppel Certificate
Tenant, at any time, and from time to time, upon at least twenty (20) days’ prior notice by Landlord, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, and/or to any other party, firm or corporation specified by Landlord (“Recipient”), a statement (1) certifying that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (2) stating the dates to which Fixed Rent and additional rent then payable under this lease have been paid, (3) stating whether or not, to
-5-
the best of Tenant’s knowledge, there exists any defaults by Landlord under this lease and, if so, specifying each such default, (4) confirming that Tenant has accepted possession of and is currently occupying the demised premises for the conduct of business, (5) stating the commencement and expiration dates of this lease, (6) stating whether or not, to Tenant’s best knowledge, there are any existing defenses to or offsets against Landlord’s enforcement of this lease and Tenant’s obligation to pay Extended Term Fixed Rent and additional rent hereunder, and (7) furnishing any other information that may be reasonably requested by the Recipient.”
7. Increase in Security Deposit. The amount of the Security Deposit under the Existing 9th Floor Lease is increased by $266,490.00, which shall be accomplished by way of an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit under the Existing 9th Floor Lease, adjusting the amount thereof to the sum of $1,158,870.00, which shall not be subject to reduction during the balance of the Term of the Existing 9th Floor Lease. At any time that Landlord is holding cash as the Security Deposit, Landlord may demand, by notice to Tenant, that Tenant provide a Letter of Credit in the total amount of the required Security Deposit (upon receipt of which Landlord will return such cash to Tenant), and, if Tenant fails to provide such Letter of Credit within fifteen (15) business days after such demand is given, Landlord may arrange for the issuance thereof, using the cash it is then holding, and Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for the amount by which the cost of the issuance thereof, including fees and other reasonable costs of issuance, exceeds the cash being held by Landlord. The Security Deposit under the Amended 9th Floor Lease and/or any Security Deposit(s) held under any leases of space in the Building between Landlord and Tenant shall serve as security under all of such leases and the Amended 9th Floor Lease.
8. Condenser Water.
(A) Landlord approves, in principle, subject to Tenant’s compliance with all applicable provisions of the Amended 9th Floor Lease, Tenant’s installation of water-cooled supplemental air conditioning system (within the 11th Floor Premises) which are reasonably acceptable to Landlord and have a combined capacity of not more than sixty (60) tons (collectively, the “11th Floor Supplemental System”), Landlord shall reserve condenser water sufficient to enable Tenant to install such 11th Floor Supplemental System for a period of ninety (90) days after the Additional Premises Commencement Date. Tenant will obtain a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord (“Contractor”) to operate the 11th Floor Supplemental System and to connect it to the Building’s condenser water riser in accordance with plans approved by Landlord and will pay the Contractor directly for the cost thereof. There shall be no tap in charge, but Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon execution of the contract(s) with the Contractor, an administrative and supervisory fee equal to five (5%) percent of the amount payable to the Contractor for its work in connection with the 11th Floor Supplemental System. Subject to all applicable provisions of the Amended 9th Floor Lease (including specifically, but without limitation, Article 27), Landlord agrees to furnish for Tenant’s use the condenser water necessary to operate the 11th Floor Supplemental System.
(B) Effective from and after the date that the 11th Floor Supplemental System is connected to the Building’s condenser water riser, Tenant shall pay Landlord a charge in the initial amount of $1,000.00 per ton per annum (“Condenser Water Charge”) for the number of tons of air conditioning capacity of the 11th Floor Supplemental System pursuant to Section (A)
-6-
hereinabove. On January 1, 2007, and on each January 1 thereafter throughout the Term of the Amended 9th Floor Lease, the Condenser Water Charge will increase by two and one-half (2 1/2%) percent of the Condenser Water Charge in effect on the immediately preceding day. The Condenser Water Charge shall be paid in twelve (12) equal monthly installments, on the first day of each month during the Term of the Amended 9th Floor Lease.
(C) Landlord will provide additional condenser water capacity, to the extent then available, from time to time at Tenant’s request at the then-prevailing Building rate therefor.

Landlord and Tenant, having made due investigation to their mutual satisfaction, hereby agree that the Additional 11th Floor Premises constitutes 9,713 rentable square feet.
(B) From and after the date Landlord sends Landlord’s 11th Floor Notice (“Additional 11th Floor Premises Commencement Date”), the Additional 11th Floor Premises shall be leased to Tenant upon and subject to all then applicable terms and conditions of the Amended 9th Floor Lease, with the following modifications:

However, the leasehold improvements and/or equipment listed on Exhibit F annexed hereto shall be present in the Additional 11th Floor Premises on the Additional 11th Floor Premises Commencement Date. The taking of possession of the Additional 11th Floor Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that, at the time such possession was taken, the Additional 11th Floor Premises were in good and satisfactory condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, reasonably expeditiously after the Additional 11th Floor Premises Commencement Date, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an ACP-5 form for the Additional 11th Floor Premises;

(C) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 9, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord will, from and after the date hereof, be attempting to lease the Additional 11th Floor Premises to another party.

If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of its acceptance of such offer within ten (10) days after the Refusal Space Offer Notice is sent, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this subparagraph (C) with respect to the Additional 11th Floor Premises and Landlord shall have the absolute right to lease the entire Additional 11th Floor Premises to any other party. No such waiver of such rights of Tenant shall affect Landlord’s rights under subparagraphs (A) and (B) of this Paragraph 9.
(D) If Tenant timely accepts the offer set forth in the Refusal Space Offer Notice, the Additional 11th Floor Premises shall be leased to Tenant from and after the date Tenant so accepts such offer (which date thereupon automatically shall become the Additional 11th Floor Premises Commencement Date pursuant to subparagraphs (C) and (D) of this Paragraph 9) and the Additional 11th Floor Premises shall be leased to Tenant upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in subparagraph (B) of this Paragraph 9, except that (i) Year 10 shall be the annual period following Year 9, and (ii) Year 11, if applicable, shall be the period beginning on the date following the end of Year 10 and ending on October 31, 2017 (for which the Fixed Rent per annum shall be [***], appropriately pro rated).
(E) Whenever the Additional 11th Floor Premises becomes leased to Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph 9, the Security Deposit under the Amended 9th Floor Lease shall be increased by $291,390.00, which increase shall be accomplished by the procedure, and be governed by the provisions, set forth in Paragraph 7 hereof.
