(a) Tenant shall, in a good and workmanlike manner, perform and diligently complete the work described on Exhibit A (except that the window repairs shall be performed by Landlord; provided, that, the cost of such window repairs shall be deducted from the Base Building Work Allowance (as defined below); provided, that, in no event shall more than [*****] be deducted from the Base Building Work Allowance for such window repairs) attached hereto (“Tenant’s Base Building Work”) during the period commencing on the date of this Amendment and ending on February 28, 2026 (as such date may be extended by Tenant Construction Delays, as hereinafter defined), subject to Section 3(e), Section 3(f) and Section 5 below and in accordance with all applicable Requirements and the terms of the Lease, including, without limitation, Article 5. Tenant shall prepare a final plan or final set of plans and specifications (such final plan or final set of plans and specifications, as the same may be modified and/or amended, as the case may be, are hereinafter called the “Base Building Final Plan”), which Base Building Final Plan shall contain complete information and dimensions necessary for Tenant’s Base Building Work and for the engineering in connection therewith, other than the window repairs, which shall be Landlord’s responsibility. Landlord shall obtain a minimum 3 bids for the performance of the window repairs and shall choose the lowest, fully responsive bid received by Landlord in connection with the performance of such work. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts (i) to coordinate Landlord’s performance of the window repair work with Xxxxxx and (ii) to minimize any interference with Xxxxxx’s use of the Extension Term Premises during Landlord’s performance of the window repair work. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the cost of Tenant’s Base Building Work in an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the Base Building Work Allowance and (y) the actual cost of Tenant’s Base Building Work, upon the following terms and conditions:
(i) The Base Building Work Allowance shall be payable to Tenant (or to Tenant’s general contractor or construction manager, as directed by Xxxxxx) in installments as Tenant’s Base Building Work progresses, but in no event more frequently than monthly, it being acknowledged that Tenant has heretofore performed work in respect of the hot water heater replacement and Tenant may requisition a portion of the Base Building Work Allowance with respect to such work from and after the date of this Amendment. Installments of the Base Building Work Allowance shall be payable by Landlord within 30 days following Tenant’s satisfaction of each of the conditions required for disbursement set forth in this Section 3 provided that Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period.

(ii) Prior to the payment of any installment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a request for disbursement which shall be accompanied by (1) paid invoices (or invoices if Tenant shall be directing Landlord to pay Tenant’s general contractor or construction manager) for Tenant’s Base Building Work performed or incurred since the last disbursement of the Base Building Work Allowance, (2) a certificate signed by Xxxxxx’s architect (but only for work covered by such architect’s engagement) and an officer of Tenant certifying that Tenant’s Base Building Work and the services represented by the aforesaid invoices have been satisfactorily completed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor approved by Landlord and have not been the subject of a prior disbursement of the Base Building Work Allowance and (3) lien waivers by architects, contractors, subcontractors and all materialmen for all such work and services; provided, that, if Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord a lien waiver for any work costing less than $50,000.00 and provided that Tenant otherwise complies with the requirements of this Section 3(a)(ii), Landlord shall disburse the installment, less 120% of the amount owed for any such work for which Xxxxxx has not delivered a lien waiver. Landlord shall be permitted to retain from each disbursement 10% of the amount requested to be disbursed by Tenant, unless, so long as the cost incurred by Tenant to perform Tenant’s Base Building Work is not greater than the Base Building Work Allowance (less the cost of the window repairs), the requisition already reflects a 10% retainage from amounts billed by the applicable contractor(s). The aggregate amount of the retainages shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant upon the completion of all of Tenant’s Base Building Work and upon receipt from Tenant of (i) a certificate signed by Xxxxxx’s architect (for work covered by such architect’s engagement) and an officer of Tenant certifying that all of Tenant’s Base Building Work has been satisfactorily completed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor approved by Landlord, (ii) all sign-offs and inspection certificates and any permits required to be issued by the New York City Department of Buildings or any other governmental entities having jurisdiction thereover and (iii) a final lien waiver from all contractors and subcontractors performing Tenant’s Base Building Work; provided, that, if Tenant fails to deliver a final lien waiver for any contract for less than $50,000.00 and provided that Tenant otherwise complies with the requirements of this Section 3(a)(ii), Landlord shall disburse the aggregate amount of the retainages, less 120% of the amount owed for any contract for less than $50,000.00 for which Xxxxxx has failed to deliver a final lien waiver.
(b) “Base Building Work Allowance” means a work allowance in the amount of [*****] (subject to reduction in accordance with Section 3(a) and Section 3(f)). The “Estimated Costs” listed on Exhibit A are estimates only and except as provided in Section 3(f), Tenant may adjust the allocation of the Base Building Work Allowance among the different items of Tenant’s Base Building Work to reflect the actual cost of each item of Tenant’s Base Building Work.
(c) The right to receive reimbursement for the cost of Tenant’s Base Building Work as set forth in this Section 3 shall be for the exclusive benefit of Tenant, it being the express intent of the parties hereto that in no event shall such right be conferred upon or for the benefit of any third party, including, without limitation, any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, laborer, architect, engineer, attorney or any other person, firm or entity.

(e) If Tenant has not timely and properly submitted a request for disbursement as set forth in this Section 3 on or before February 28, 2026 for any portion of the Base Building Work Allowance, such amount shall be retained by and belong to Landlord. For the avoidance of doubt, such date shall be extended on a day for day basis for any period during which (i) an Unavoidable Delay affecting Tenant (which shall in no event be deemed to be or be caused by the nonpayment of money or a failure attributable to a lack of funds) demonstrably precludes or delays Tenant in obtaining a building permit or performing Tenant’s Base Building Work or obtaining the required governmental sign offs and/or (ii) the provisions of Section 3(f) below apply (collectively, “Tenant Construction Delays”) and/or (iii) Tenant has commenced and is diligently performing Tenant’s Base Building Work.
(f) If Tenant is unable to obtain Landmarks Approval (as defined below) for any item of Tenant’s Base Building Work described on Exhibit A for which Landmarks Approval is required, the Base Building Work Allowance shall be reduced by the estimated cost for such item as set forth on Exhibit A; provided, that, if Tenant subsequently obtains Landmarks Approval for such item of Tenant’s Base Building Work, Tenant shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute such work to completion upon receipt of Landmarks Approval, and Tenant shall be entitled to reimbursement for the cost of such item of Tenant’s Base Building Work in accordance with this Section 3 (except that, the limitation in Section 3(e) shall apply if Tenant does not use such portion of the Base Building Work Allowance within 3 years after Tenant obtains such approval for the applicable item of Tenant’s Base Building Work), but in no event shall the total Base Building Work Allowance exceed [*****].

6
Tenant’s Improvements and for the engineering in connection therewith.

(i) The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be payable to Tenant (or to Tenant’s general contractor or construction manager, as directed by Xxxxxx) in installments as Tenant’s Improvements progress, but in no event more frequently than monthly.

Landlord shall be permitted to retain from each disbursement 10% of the amount requested to be disbursed by Tenant, unless, so long as the cost incurred by Tenant to perform Tenant’s Improvements is not greater than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, the requisition already reflects a 10% retainage from amounts billed by the applicable contractor(s). The aggregate amount of the retainages shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant upon the completion of all of Tenant’s Improvements and upon receipt from Tenant of (A) a certificate signed by Xxxxxx’s architect and an officer of Tenant certifying that all of Tenant’s Improvements has been satisfactorily completed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor approved by Landlord, (B) all sign-offs and inspection certificates and any permits required to be issued by the New York City Department of Buildings or any other governmental entities having jurisdiction thereover and (C) a final lien waiver from all contractors and subcontractors performing Tenant’s Improvements; provided, that, if Tenant fails to deliver a final lien waiver for any contract for less than $50,000.00 and provided that Tenant otherwise complies with the requirements of this Section 4(a)(ii), Landlord shall disburse the aggregate amount of the retainages, less 120% of the amount owed for any contract for less than $50,000.00 for which Xxxxxx has failed to deliver a final lien waiver.

(b) “Tenant’s Improvements” means the installation of fixtures, improvements and appurtenances attached to or built into the Extension Term Premises described on Exhibit B attached hereto, and shall not otherwise include movable partitions, business and trade fixtures, machinery, equipment, furniture, furnishings and other articles of personal property. If the actual cost to perform Tenant’s Improvements is less than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, Tenant shall have the right to apply the remaining Tenant Improvement Allowance towards the Setback Improvements (as hereinafter defined) and/or the Roof Improvements (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.
(c) “Tenant Improvement Allowance” means a work allowance in the amount of [*****] (subject to reduction in accordance with Section 4(a) and Section 4(g)). The “Estimated Costs” listed on Exhibit B are estimates only and except as provided in Section 4(g), Tenant may adjust the allocation of the Tenant Improvement Allowance to reflect the actual cost of each item of Tenant’s Improvements.
(d) The right to receive reimbursement for the cost of Tenant’s Improvements as set forth in this Section 4 shall be for the exclusive benefit of Tenant, it being the express intent of the parties hereto that in no event shall such right be conferred upon or for the benefit of any third party, including, without limitation, any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, laborer, architect, engineer, attorney or any other person, firm or entity. Tenant’s indemnity pursuant to the provisions of Section 32.1 of the Lease shall apply to any and all liability, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any Indemnified Party arising out of or relating to Landlord’s payment of any installment of the Tenant Improvement Allowance directly to Xxxxxx’s general contractor or construction manager.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4, in no event shall more than [*****] of the Tenant Improvement Allowance be made available to Tenant for Tenant’s soft costs of construction (including, without limitation, filing and permit fees and expenses, architecture, engineering and other consulting fees and expenses, reimbursement of Landlord plan review costs and moving expenses).
(f) If Tenant has not timely and properly submitted a request for disbursement as set forth in this Section 4 on or before February 28, 2026 for any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance, such remaining portion shall be retained by and belong to Landlord. For the avoidance of doubt, such date shall be extended on a day for day basis for any period during which (i) an Unavoidable Delay affecting Tenant (which shall in no event be deemed to be or be caused by the nonpayment of money or a failure attributable to a lack of funds) demonstrably precludes or delays Tenant in obtaining a building permit or performing Tenant’s Improvements or obtaining the required governmental sign offs and/or (ii) the provisions of Section 4(g) below apply and/or (iii) Tenant has commenced and is diligently performing Tenant’s Improvements.

(h) If Landlord fails to pay an installment of the Base Building Work Allowance or the Tenant Improvement Allowance on or before the date on which the same is due and payable to Tenant under Section 3(a) and Section 4(a) respectively, and if such failure continues for 30 days after Tenant notifies Landlord of such failure (which notice shall state in bold capital letters that Tenant intends to set off such amount against the next installment of Fixed Rent unless Landlord pays such amount to Tenant within such 30 day period), then Tenant shall have the right to offset such amount, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date such sum was originally due and payable to Tenant until credited, against the next installment(s) of Fixed Rent coming due under the Lease until Tenant has been fully reimbursed therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within 30 days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of such failure, Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord disputes Landlord’s obligation to pay such unpaid amount of the Base Building Work Allowance or the Tenant Improvement Allowance (which notice shall specify the basis for Landlord’s dispute in reasonable detail and the portion of such installment of the Base Building Work Allowance or the Tenant Improvement Allowance to which such dispute relates), then Tenant shall not have the right to offset the portion of such installment of the Base Building Work Allowance or the Tenant Improvement Allowance so disputed or interest thereon (but Tenant may offset any portion of such installment that is not in dispute and is not paid by Landlord within such 30 day period), and such dispute shall be subject to expedited arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association. If Tenant obtains a final and binding determination of such arbitrators, which decision has been reduced to judgment, to the effect that Landlord was required to pay such installment of the Base Building Work Allowance or the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then (x) Landlord shall pay such amount to Tenant and (y) if Landlord shall not within 10 Business Days after such judgment has been obtained approve the same and pay such funds to Tenant, with interest at the Interest Rate from the date such sum was originally due Tenant, and Landlord shall have failed to pay Tenant pursuant to this Section 4(h), Tenant shall have the right to offset such amount (together with interest as aforesaid) against the next installment(s) of Fixed Rent becoming due hereunder until Xxxxxx has been fully reimbursed therefor.
(i) Landlord confirms that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove at the end of the Term any Alterations or leasehold improvements existing in the Premises on the date of this Amendment.
5. Landmarks Approval. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any of Tenant’s Base Building Work, Tenant’s Improvements, the Setback Improvements, the Roof Improvements or any other work that may be performed by Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Lease, shall be subject to the approval (“Landmarks Approval”) of the Commission or any such modifications as the Commission may require, Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining any such approval prior to commencement of such Tenant’s Base Building Work, Tenant’s Improvements, the Setback Improvements and the Roof Improvements, as applicable;
9
provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to support Tenant in obtaining any such approval (including executing any required forms and providing other required information) but Landlord shall have no liability if Tenant is unable to obtain any such approval. Landlord shall have the right to participate in any public hearing in front of the Commission regarding such Tenant’s Base Building Work, Tenant’s Improvements, the Setback Improvements or the Roof Improvements.
6. Intentionally Omitted.
7. Cross Promoting. Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate to maximize any cross-promotional and marketing activities between Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises and the business of Landlord and other tenants of the Center.
8. Marquee Roof. (a) From and after the date of this Amendment, subject to any conditions and restrictions set forth in this Section 8, Tenant may use the roof above the marquee of the Music Hall (the “Roof”) for any lawful use, such as, by way of example only, the installation of banners and other signage, sponsorship opportunities, the filming of commercials or photo shoots, broadcast activities, the installation of Christmas trees and other seasonal decorations, exhibitions (including the temporary locating of automobiles and other products), the conduct of live music or other performances, the installation of temporary platforms and subject to the provisions of Section 8(b) below, any use entailing people gathering or congregating, including, without limitation, cocktail or dinner parties (provided that in no event shall any such use entail more than 50 people being on the Roof at any one time). In no event may Tenant use the Roof for any purpose that would be reasonably expected to result in large crowds gathering on the sidewalk or streets in and around the Building or for any event that would result in street closures or otherwise adversely affect access to or the operations of nearby retailers and office users or that would exceed the load capacity of the Roof. Prior to any use of the Roof, Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord thereof, together with copies of any applicable licenses and permits required for such use and notice of any Roof Property (as defined below) to be placed on the Roof in connection with such use. Tenant’s use of the Roof shall be in compliance with the Restrictions (if applicable), reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord from time to time, and all applicable Requirements (including with respect to the serving, sale and/or consumption of alcohol), and Tenant, at Tenant’s cost (including the payment of any taxes in connection therewith), shall obtain and maintain all required licenses and permits from Governmental Authorities (including, without limitation, the Commission) for such use(s), and shall comply with any noise, safety and other requirements and limitations contained in such licenses and permits. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate, to the extent necessary and at Xxxxxx’s sole cost, in assisting Tenant in obtaining any such licenses and permits. If Tenant desires to use the Roof to project amplified sound, Tenant shall coordinate such use with Landlord so as to enable Landlord to determine (in Landlord’s sole discretion) that such use does not disturb any other retailers or office users in the Center or events previously scheduled at the Center, and in no event shall amplified sound emanate from the Roof during Business Hours without Landlord consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall not use the Roof for live musical performances more than 4 times per calendar year, of which at least 2 such musical performances shall be with performers who are performing in the Music Hall and the balance of such musical performances (if any) shall be with performers who are promoting performances at Madison Square Garden or at other locations. Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, shall (i) take all necessary
10
precautions to ensure that such events are conducted in a safe and secure manner, protective of the Roof, participants and pedestrians, taking into account the nature of the event and the Roof Property, including, without limitation, all precautions and safeguards, if any, reasonably required by Landlord and Landlord’s insurer, (ii) clean the Roof and provide security and any other services required in connection with Xxxxxx’s use thereof, (iii) reimburse Landlord for any damage caused to the Roof or other parts of the Building as a result of Xxxxxx’s use of the Roof and (iv) maintain insurance with respect to Tenant’s usage of the Roof in accordance with Tenant’s obligations under Article 13 of the Lease as if the Roof were part of the Premises during the period of Tenant’s usage thereof. Tenant’s use of the Roof (including, without limitation, any Roof Property consisting of lighting or projection equipment) shall not disturb other tenants or occupants of the Center. All of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease shall apply to Tenant’s use of the Roof, including provisions relating to Requirements, insurance, Alterations, indemnity, repairs and maintenance (provided, however, that Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Roof shall be limited to repairs and maintenance necessitated by, or otherwise arising from, any use of the Roof, and any other act or omission of, any person invited by Tenant to use the Roof), as if the Roof were part of the Premises. Tenant may not host events (but may set up before and clean after events) on the Roof between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., without Landlord’s approval, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. In connection with Tenant’s use of the Roof, Tenant may install lighting, projection equipment, decorations, furnishings, audio equipment, other Tenant’s Property and other temporary installations (the “Roof Property”) in accordance with the provisions and restrictions set forth in this Section 8 and the provisions of the Lease and subject to the further condition that, the Roof Property be secured so as to minimize any risk, in case of a windstorm or otherwise, of any property moving and causing injury or damage to persons or property.
