Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 as Tenant
At the commencement of the term hereof electric current shall be
supplied to Tenant at the demised premises in accordance with the provisions of
clause A or B or F of this Article, subject to the other terms and conditions of
this Article and lease. A. Submetering - if electric current be supplied by
Landlord, at Landlord's option, pursuant to this clause, Tenant covenants and
agrees to purchase the same from Landlord or Landlord's designated agent, at
charges, taxes, terms and rates set by Landlord from time to time but, except as
hereinafter set forth, not more than those specified in Service Classification
No. 4 on September 7, 1970, that being the date immediately prior to which the
rates of consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. were adjusted and
consolidated with respect to redistribution of electric current to commercial
buildings. Such charges, taxes, terms and rates may be revised by Landlord, at
its option, from time to time, in the same proportion as any increases after the
aforesaid date in the charges, taxes, terms or rates to Landlord in connection
with the supply of electric current to the building of which the demised
premises are a part (hereinafter referred to as the "building"). When more than
one meter measures the electrical service to the demised premises, the service
rendered through each meter shall be separately computed and billed in
accordance with the charges, taxes, terms and rates stated herein. Bills shall
be rendered at such times as Landlord may elect and, commencing on the earlier
of (i) Tenant's occupancy of all or any portion of the demised premises, or (ii)
the commencement date of the term of this lease, the amount as computed from
meter reading shall be deemed to be, and be paid as, additional rent without
set-off or deduction. B. Rent Inclusion - If electric current be supplied by
Landlord, at Landlord's option, pursuant to this clause, Tenant covenants and
agrees to have it supplied to Tenant a the demised premises based on the method
of including the use thereof within the annual rent and the annual rent reserved
herein shall be increased as hereinafter set forth, in consideration of Landlord
supplying electric current as an additional service as hereinafter provided. At
any time after Tenant is in possession of the demised premises, a reputable
electrical consultant selected by Landlord shall (but, if this lease be a
renewal or shall subsequently be extended, or if an electric rent inclusion
modification agreement is being executed in connection with this lease. Landlord
shall have the option, but not the obligation to) make a survey of the
electrical equipment, usage and powerload to ascertain the electric current
consumption and demand in the demised premises on an annual basis, and calculate
the annual rent increase resulting therefrom utilizing charges, taxes, term and
rates as set by Landlord from time to time, but, except as hereinafter set forth
not more than those specified in the Service Classification No. 2 on September
7, 1970, that being the date immediately prior to which the rates of
Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. were adjusted and consolidated
with respect to redistribution of electric current to commercial buildings. Such
charges, taxes, terms and rates may be revised by Landlord, at its option, from
time to time, in the same proportion as any increases after the aforesaid date
in the charges, taxes, terms or rates to Landlord in connection with the supply
of electric current to the building. Following the making of any such survey,
the parties shall execute an agreement prepared by Landlord amending this lease
and setting forth the increase in annual rent calculated as aforesaid, as of the
date of the commencement of the furnishing of electric current to the demised
premises pursuant to this clause B, but such increase shall be effective from
that date even if such agreement is not executed. Landlord, its agent or
consultant, is given the right to make surveys, from time to time, in the
demised premises covering the electric equipment and use of electric current.
If, after the date of such initial survey (or if subdivision "(i)" or "(ii)"
above is applicable, after the date on which the annual rent payable by Tenant
was last increased in consideration of Landlord supplying electric to the
demised premises) there are any additions to or increases in (i) the equipment
or usage in the demised premises, or (ii) in the charges, terms and/or rate to
Landlord by the public utility corporation supplying electric current to the
building, or (iii) in any taxes thereon which Landlord is obligated to pay, or
(iv) if Tenant shall regularly remain open for business other than during those
hours incorporated in any prior electric survey, then, and in any such instance
or instances, the annual rent reserved therein shall be further increased in
accordance with the provisions of this Article to reflect such additions,
increases or additional use as of the effective date thereof. If Landlord and
Tenant cannot agree on the amount of any such increase, as hereinbefore
described, the same shall be determined by a reputable electric consultant
selected by Landlord and paid equally by both parties. The parties shall then
execute an agreement prepared by Landlord amending this lease and setting forth
the new annual rent resulting from such increase and confirming the effective
date thereof, but such increase shall be effective from such date even if such
agreement is not executed. C. Landlord shall not in any way be liable or
responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may sustain
or incur if either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or
is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements. Tenant's use of
electric current in the demised premises shall not at any time exceed the
capacity of any of the electrical conductors and facilities in or otherwise
serving the demised premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not
exceeded and to avert any possible adverse effect upon the building's electric
service. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent in each
instance, connect any fixtures, appliances or equipment (other than a reasonable
number of table or floor lamps, typewriters and similar small office machines
using comparable electric current) to the building's electric distribution
system nor make any alteration or addition to the electric system of the demised
premises. Should Landlord grant such consent, all additional risers or other
equipment required thereof shall be provided by Landlord, and all costs and
expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, those for
filing and supervision, shall be paid by Tenant upon Landlord's demand, as
additional rent, without setoff or deduction. As a condition to granting such
consent, Landlord may require Tenant to agree to an increase in the annual rent
by an amount which will reflect the value to Tenant of the additional service to
be furnished by Landlord, to wit: the potential additional
2
electrical current to be made available to Tenant based upon the estimated
initial total capacity of such additional risers or other equipment. If Landlord
and Tenant cannot agree on the amount of such annual rent increase, the same
shall be determined by a reputable electrical consultant to selected by Landlord
and paid equally by both parties. The parties shall then execute an agreement
prepared by Landlord amending this lease and setting forth the new annual rent
resulting from such increase and confirming the effective date thereof, but such
increase shall be effective from such date even if such agreement is not
executed. E. Landlord reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electric
current to Tenant in the demised premises at any time upon not less than thirty
(30) days' notice to Tenant. F. If Landlord, at Landlord's option, (i) exercises
such right of discontinuance as provided in clause E, or (ii) requires Tenant to
initially obtain its electric current directly from the public utility
corporation supplying electric current to the building, this lease shall
continue in full force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except only
that, from and after the effective date of such discontinuance, or the
commencement of direct usage, as the case may be. Landlord shall not be
obligated to furnish electric current to Tenant and except that, if Landlord
shall have been furnishing electric current on a rent inclusion basis, from and
after the effective date of such discontinuance, the annual rent payable under
this lease shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all
increases of the annual rent reserved herein pursuant to clause B of this
Article. In either aforesaid event, if Landlord is not to furnish electric
current to Tenant, Tenant shall arrange to obtain electric current directly from
the public utility corporation supplying electric current to the building; and
in any event, all risers, equipment and other facilities which may be required
for Tenant to obtain electric current directly from such public utility
corporation shall, at Tenant's expense, payable to Landlord upon demand, as
additional rent, without set-off or deduction, be installed by Landlord, if in
Landlord's judgment the same are necessary and will not cause damage or injury
to the building or any part thereof or create a hazardous condition or entail
excessive alterations, repairs or expense interfere with or disturb any other
building tenants or occupants; and in any event, any such installation shall be
maintained by Tenant, at its expense, and shall be subject to such conditions as
Landlord and/or the public utility corporation may require. If Landlord shall
not furnish electric current to Tenant, it shall not be liable to Tenant
therefore and the same shall not be deemed to be a lessening or diminution of
services within the meaning of any law, rule or regulation now or hereafter
enacted, promulgated or issued. G. If any taxes or charges are or shall be
imposed upon Landlord or its agent in connection with the sale or resale of
electrical energy to Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees that, where permitted
by law, Tenant's pro-rate share of such taxes or charges shall be passed on to
Tenant and paid by Tenant to Landlord or its agent upon demand, as additional
rent, without set-off or deduction. At all times during the term of this lease
Tenant will comply with all present and future General Rules, Regulations, Terms
and Conditions applicable to service equipment, wiring and Requirements in
accordance with the regulations of the public utility corporation supplying
electric current to the building. H. In the event that any increased or
additional rent under this Article is not paid within 30 days after a xxxx is
rendered, Landlord may, without further notice and without waiving its rights to
any other remedy or remedies it may have, discontinue the service of electric
current to the demised premises without releasing Tenant from any liability
under this lease and without Landlord or Landlord's agent incurring any
liability for any damage or loss sustained by Tenant by such discontinuance of
service. I. Tenant covenants and agrees that at no time will the connected
electrical load for any one full or partial floor of the demised premises exceed
6 xxxxx per square foot of usable area unless the rent has been increased
pursuant to this Article to reflect the additional load. J. It is agreed that
Landlord, from time to time, may change the method of supplying electric current
to Tenant at the demised premises in any manner referred to in this lease or
otherwise, provided that in so doing Landlord shall comply with all applicable
laws. K. At the option of Landlord, Tenant agrees to purchase from Landlord, or
its agent, all lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts used in the demised
premises and to pay the cost of Installation thereof all as additional rent
without set-off or deduction, upon rendition of bills therefor.

electrical equipment, usage and powerload to ascertain the electric current
consumption and demand in the demised premises on an annual basis, and calculate
the annual rent increase resulting therefrom utilizing charges, taxes, term and
rates as set by Landlord from time to time, but, except as hereinafter set forth
not more than those specified in the Service Classification No. 2 on September
7, 1970, that being the date immediately prior to which the rates of
Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. were adjusted and consolidated
with respect to redistribution of electric current to commercial buildings. Such
charges, taxes, terms and rates may be revised by Landlord, at its option, from
time to time, in the same proportion as any increases after the aforesaid date
in the charges, taxes, terms or rates to Landlord in connection with the supply
of electric current to the building. Following the making of any such survey,
the parties shall execute an agreement prepared by Landlord amending this lease
and setting forth the increase in annual rent calculated as aforesaid, as of the
date of the commencement of the furnishing of electric current to the demised
premises pursuant to this clause B, but such increase shall be effective from
that date even if such agreement is not executed. Landlord, its agent or
consultant, is given the right to make surveys, from time to time, in the
demised premises covering the electric equipment and use of electric current.
If, after the date of such initial survey (or if subdivision "(i)" or "(ii)"
above is applicable, after the date on which the annual rent payable by Tenant
was last increased in consideration of Landlord supplying electric to the
demised premises) there are any additions to or increases in (i) the equipment
or usage in the demised premises, or (ii) in the charges, terms and/or rate to
Landlord by the public utility corporation supplying electric current to the
building, or (iii) in any taxes thereon which Landlord is obligated to pay, or
(iv) if Tenant shall regularly remain open for business other than during those
hours incorporated in any prior electric survey, then, and in any such instance
or instances, the annual rent reserved therein shall be further increased in
accordance with the provisions of this Article to reflect such additions,
increases or additional use as of the effective date thereof. If Landlord and
Tenant cannot agree on the amount of any such increase, as hereinbefore
described, the same shall be determined by a reputable electric consultant
selected by Landlord and paid equally by both parties. The parties shall then
execute an agreement prepared by Landlord amending this lease and setting forth
the new annual rent resulting from such increase and confirming the effective
date thereof, but such increase shall be effective from such date even if such
agreement is not executed. C. Landlord shall not in any way be liable or
responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may sustain
or incur if either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or
is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements. Tenant's use of
electric current in the demised premises shall not at any time exceed the
capacity of any of the electrical conductors and facilities in or otherwise
serving the demised premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not
exceeded and to avert any possible adverse effect upon the building's electric
service. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent in each
instance, connect any fixtures, appliances or equipment (other than a reasonable
number of table or floor lamps, typewriters and similar small office machines
using comparable electric current) to the building's electric distribution
system nor make any alteration or addition to the electric system of the demised
premises. Should Landlord grant such consent, all additional risers or other
equipment required thereof shall be provided by Landlord, and all costs and
expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, those for
filing and supervision, shall be paid by Tenant upon Landlord's demand, as
2
additional rent, without setoff or deduction. As a condition to granting such
consent, Landlord may require Tenant to agree to an increase in the annual rent
by an amount which will reflect the value to Tenant of the additional service to
be furnished by Landlord, to wit: the potential additional electrical current to
be made available to Tenant based upon the estimated initial total capacity of
such additional risers or other equipment. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree
on the amount of such annual rent increase, the same shall be determined by a
reputable electrical consultant to selected by Landlord and paid equally by both
parties. The parties shall then execute an agreement prepared by Landlord
amending this lease and setting forth the new annual rent resulting from such
increase and confirming the effective date thereof, but such increase shall be
effective from such date even if such agreement is not executed. E. Landlord
reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electric current to Tenant in the
demised premises at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days' notice to
Tenant. F. If Landlord, at Landlord's option, (i) exercises such right of
discontinuance as provided in clause E, or (ii) requires Tenant to initially
obtain its electric current directly from the public utility corporation
supplying electric current to the building, this lease shall continue in full
force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except only that, from and
after the effective date of such discontinuance, or the commencement of direct
usage, as the case may be. Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish electric
current to Tenant and except that, if Landlord shall have been furnishing
electric current on a rent inclusion basis, from and after the effective date of
such discontinuance, the annual rent payable under this lease shall be reduced
by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all increases of the annual rent
reserved herein pursuant to clause B of this Article. In either aforesaid event,
if Landlord is not to furnish electric current to Tenant, Tenant shall arrange
to obtain electric current directly from the public utility corporation
supplying electric current to the building; and in any event, all risers,
equipment and other facilities which may be required for Tenant to obtain
electric current directly from such public utility corporation shall, at
Tenant's expense, payable to Landlord upon demand, as additional rent, without
set-off or deduction, be installed by Landlord, if in Landlord's judgment the
same are necessary and will not cause damage or injury to the building or any
part thereof or create a hazardous condition or entail excessive alterations,
repairs or expense interfere with or disturb any other building tenants or
occupants; and in any event, any such installation shall be maintained by
Tenant, at its expense, and shall be subject to such conditions as Landlord
and/or the public utility corporation may require. If Landlord shall not furnish
electric current to Tenant, it shall not be liable to Tenant therefore and the
same shall not be deemed to be a lessening or diminution of services within the
meaning of any law, rule or regulation now or hereafter enacted, promulgated or
issued. G. If any taxes or charges are or shall be imposed upon Landlord or its
agent in connection with the sale or resale of electrical energy to Tenant,
Tenant covenants and agrees that, where permitted by law, Tenant's pro-rate
share of such taxes or charges shall be passed on to Tenant and paid by Tenant
to Landlord or its agent upon demand, as additional rent, without set-off or
deduction. At all times during the term of this lease Tenant will comply with
all present and future General Rules, Regulations, Terms and Conditions
applicable to service equipment, wiring and Requirements in accordance with the
regulations of the public utility corporation supplying electric current to the
building. H. In the event that any increased or additional rent under this
Article is not paid within 30 days after a xxxx is rendered, Landlord may,
without further notice and without waiving its rights to any other remedy or
remedies it may have, discontinue the service of electric current to the demised
premises without releasing Tenant from any liability under this lease and
without Landlord or Landlord's agent incurring any liability for any damage or
loss sustained by Tenant by such discontinuance of service. I. Tenant covenants
and agrees that at no time will the connected electrical load for any one full
or partial floor of the demised premises exceed 6 xxxxx per square foot of
usable area unless the rent has been increased pursuant to this Article to
reflect the additional load. J. It is agreed that Landlord, from time to time,
may change the method of supplying electric current to Tenant at the demised
premises in any manner referred to in this lease or otherwise, provided that in
so doing Landlord shall comply with all applicable laws. K. At the option of
Landlord, Tenant agrees to purchase from Landlord, or its agent, all lighting
tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts used in the demised premises and to pay the
cost of Installation thereof all as additional rent without set-off or
deduction, upon rendition of bills therefor.

Xxxxxx Corporation c/o Olmstead Properties, as Landlord and ImClone Systems
Incorporated, as Tenant
At the commencement of the term hereof electric current shall be
supplied to Tenant at the demised premises in accordance with the provisions of
clause A or B or F of this Article, subject to the other terms and conditions of
this Article and lease. A. Submetering - if electric current be supplied by
Landlord, at Landlord's option, pursuant to this clause, Tenant covenants and
agrees to purchase the same from Landlord or Landlord's designated agent, at
charges, taxes, terms and rates set by Landlord from time to time but, except as
hereinafter set forth, not more than those specified in Service Classification
No. 4 on September 7, 1970, that being the date immediately prior to which the
rates of consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. were adjusted and
consolidated with respect to redistribution of electric current to commercial
buildings. Such charges, taxes, terms and rates may be revised by Landlord, at
its option, from time to time, in the same proportion as any increases after the
aforesaid date in the charges, taxes, terms or rates to Landlord in connection
with the supply of electric current to the building of which the demised
premises are a part (hereinafter referred to as the "building"). When more than
one meter measures the electrical service to the demised premises, the service
rendered through each meter shall be separately computed and billed in
accordance with the charges, taxes, terms and rates stated herein. Bills shall
be rendered at such times as Landlord may elect and, commencing on the earlier
of (i) Tenant's occupancy of all or any portion of the demised premises, or (ii)
the commencement date of the term of this lease, the amount as computed from
meter reading shall be deemed to be, and be paid as, additional rent without
set-off or deduction. B. Rent Inclusion - If electric current be supplied by
Landlord, at Landlord's option, pursuant to this clause, Tenant covenants and
agrees to have it supplied to Tenant a the demised premises based on the method
of including the use thereof within the annual rent and the annual rent reserved
herein shall be increased as hereinafter set forth, in consideration of Landlord
supplying electric current as an additional service as hereinafter provided. At
any time after Tenant is in possession of the demised premises, a reputable
electrical consultant selected by Landlord shall (but, if this lease be a
renewal or shall subsequently be extended, or if an electric rent inclusion
modification agreement is being executed in connection with this lease. Landlord
shall have the option, but not the obligation to) make a survey of the
electrical equipment, usage and powerload to ascertain the electric current
consumption and demand in the demised premises on an annual basis, and calculate
the annual rent increase resulting therefrom utilizing charges, taxes, term and
rates as set by Landlord from time to time, but, except as hereinafter set forth
not more than those specified in the Service Classification No. 2 on September
7, 1970, that being the date immediately prior to which the rates of
Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. were adjusted and consolidated
with respect to redistribution of electric current to commercial buildings. Such
charges, taxes, terms and rates may be revised by Landlord, at its option, from
time to time, in the same proportion as any increases after the aforesaid date
in the charges, taxes, terms or rates to Landlord in connection with the supply
of electric current to the building. Following the making of any such survey,
the parties shall execute an agreement prepared by Landlord amending this lease
and setting forth the increase in annual rent calculated as aforesaid, as of the
date of the commencement of the furnishing of electric current to the demised
premises pursuant to this clause B, but such increase shall be effective from
that date even if such agreement is not executed. Landlord, its agent or
consultant, is given the right to make surveys, from time to time, in the
demised premises covering the electric equipment and use of electric current.
If, after the date of such initial survey (or if subdivision "(i)" or "(ii)"
above is applicable, after the date on which the annual rent payable by Tenant
was last increased in consideration of Landlord supplying electric to the
demised premises) there are any additions to or increases in (i) the equipment
or usage in the demised premises, or (ii) in the charges, terms and/or rate to
Landlord by the public utility corporation supplying electric current to the
building, or (iii) in any taxes thereon which Landlord is obligated to pay, or
(iv) if Tenant shall regularly remain open for business other than during those
hours incorporated in any prior electric survey, then, and in any such instance
or instances, the annual rent reserved therein shall be further increased in
accordance with the provisions of this Article to reflect such additions,
increases or additional use as of the effective date thereof. If Landlord and
Tenant cannot agree on the amount of any such increase, as hereinbefore
described, the same shall be determined by a reputable electric consultant
selected by Landlord and paid equally by both parties. The parties shall then
execute an agreement prepared by Landlord amending this lease and setting forth
the new annual rent resulting from such increase and confirming the effective
date thereof, but such increase shall be effective from such date even if such
agreement is not executed. C. Landlord shall not in any way be liable or
responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may sustain
or incur if either the quantity or character of electric service is changed or
is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements. Tenant's use of
electric current in the demised premises shall not at any time exceed the
capacity of any of the electrical conductors and facilities in or otherwise
serving the demised premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not
exceeded and to avert any possible adverse effect upon the building's electric
service. Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent in each
instance, connect any fixtures, appliances or equipment (other than a reasonable
number of table or floor lamps, typewriters and similar small office machines
using comparable electric current) to the building's electric distribution
system nor make any alteration or addition to the electric system of the demised
premises. Should Landlord grant such consent, all additional risers or other
equipment required thereof shall be provided by Landlord, and all costs and
expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, those for
filing and supervision, shall be paid by Tenant upon Landlord's demand, as
additional rent, without setoff or deduction. As a
2
condition to granting such consent, Landlord may require Tenant to agree to an
increase in the annual rent by an amount which will reflect the value to Tenant
of the additional service to be furnished by Landlord, to wit: the potential
additional electrical current to be made available to Tenant based upon the
estimated initial total capacity of such additional risers or other equipment.
If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the amount of such annual rent increase,
the same shall be determined by a reputable electrical consultant to selected by
Landlord and paid equally by both parties. The parties shall then execute an
agreement prepared by Landlord amending this lease and setting forth the new
annual rent resulting from such increase and confirming the effective date
thereof, but such increase shall be effective from such date even if such
agreement is not executed. E. Landlord reserves the right to discontinue
furnishing electric current to Tenant in the demised premises at any time upon
not less than thirty (30) days' notice to Tenant. F. If Landlord, at Landlord's
option, (i) exercises such right of discontinuance as provided in clause E, or
(ii) requires Tenant to initially obtain its electric current directly from the
public utility corporation supplying electric current to the building, this
lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby,
except only that, from and after the effective date of such discontinuance, or
the commencement of direct usage, as the case may be. Landlord shall not be
obligated to furnish electric current to Tenant and except that, if Landlord
shall have been furnishing electric current on a rent inclusion basis, from and
after the effective date of such discontinuance, the annual rent payable under
this lease shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all
increases of the annual rent reserved herein pursuant to clause B of this
Article. In either aforesaid event, if Landlord is not to furnish electric
current to Tenant, Tenant shall arrange to obtain electric current directly from
the public utility corporation supplying electric current to the building; and
in any event, all risers, equipment and other facilities which may be required
for Tenant to obtain electric current directly from such public utility
corporation shall, at Tenant's expense, payable to Landlord upon demand, as
additional rent, without set-off or deduction, be installed by Landlord, if in
Landlord's judgment the same are necessary and will not cause damage or injury
to the building or any part thereof or create a hazardous condition or entail
excessive alterations, repairs or expense interfere with or disturb any other
building tenants or occupants; and in any event, any such installation shall be
maintained by Tenant, at its expense, and shall be subject to such conditions as
Landlord and/or the public utility corporation may require. If Landlord shall
not furnish electric current to Tenant, it shall not be liable to Tenant
therefore and the same shall not be deemed to be a lessening or diminution of
services within the meaning of any law, rule or regulation now or hereafter
enacted, promulgated or issued. G. If any taxes or charges are or shall be
imposed upon Landlord or its agent in connection with the sale or resale of
electrical energy to Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees that, where permitted
by law, Tenant's pro-rate share of such taxes or charges shall be passed on to
Tenant and paid by Tenant to Landlord or its agent upon demand, as additional
rent, without set-off or deduction. At all times during the term of this lease
Tenant will comply with all present and future General Rules, Regulations, Terms
and Conditions applicable to service equipment, wiring and Requirements in
accordance with the regulations of the public utility corporation supplying
electric current to the building. H. In the event that any increased or
