attached hereto as Schedule A), Horseneck Associates as Landlord ("Over
Landlord") leased to The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of New York, Inc., as Tenant
("Prime Tenant") the Building and Land (as defined in the Over Lease), commonly
known as 00 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx; and
WHEREAS, by Sublease Agreement, dated March 18, l996 (the "Sublease", a copy
of which is attached hereto as Schedule B), the Prime Tenant, as Sublandlord,
sub-leased to Sub-Sublandlord the entire said Building and Land (which for the
purposes of the Sublease and also for the purposes of this Sub-Sublease are
defined as the "Subleased Premises"); and
WHEREAS, Sub-Subtenant desires to sub-sublet from Sub-Sublandlord a portion
of the Subleased Premises, which portion consists of that area of the first
floor of the Building, consisting of approximately 11,514 rentable square feet
and more particularly shown in outline on the floor plan annexed hereto as
Schedule C and made a part hereof (said portion being hereinafter referred to as
the "M&M Space");
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sub-Sublandlord and Sub-Subtenant,
intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:
Section l. Demise. Sub-Sublandlord hereby leases to Sub-Subtenant and
Sub-Subtenant hereby leases from Sub-Sublandlord the M&M Space, subject to the
terms and provisions hereof.
Section 2. Term. The term of this Sub-Sublease (the "Term") shall commence
on June 1, 1996 (the "Commencement Date") and shall terminate on the day next
preceding the "Expiration Date" as defined in the Sublease (said prior date
being the "Expiration Date" herein), unless the latter date is accelerated due
to other provisions contained in this Sub-Sublease, or in the Over Lease or in
the Sublease.
Section 3. Minimum Rent and Additional Rent. Throughout the Term,
Sub-Subtenant shall pay to Sub-Sublandlord, an amount per month equal to
Sub-Subtenant's pro-rata share of 37.50% (the "Sub-Subtenant's Pro-Rata Share")
of all payments of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent, as those terms are defined
in the Sublease and as provided in this Sub-Sublease. Said Sub-Subtenant's
Pro-Rata Share is based upon the M&M Space together with the Sub-Subtenant's
Pro-Rata Share of the rentable square footage on the first floor presently
sub-subleased (the "BOI Space") to the Bank of Ireland Asset Management (U.S.)
Limited ("BOI") and the Sub-Subtenant's Pro-Rata Share of the common facilities
of the Building. All such payments by Sub-Subtenant shall be made in advance on
the first day of each calendar month during the Term. For purposes of this
section, "Additional Rent" shall include, but not be limited to, payments with
respect to Operating Expenses, Taxes, charges for electrical service, all as
defined in the Sublease, and subject to the approval of Sub-Subtenant, shall
also include expenses incurred by Sub-Sublandlord for interior cleaning
services, security systems and security personnel, maintenance and operation of
the fitness facility and cafeteria and all other costs and expenses incurred by
Sub-Sublandlord in connection with this Sub-Sublease, the Land or the Building,
including, but not limited to, all of the items excluded from Operating Expenses
which are set forth in Subparagraph 3.a. (vii) of the Sublease, which are paid
by Sublandlord. In addition, Sub-Subtenant shall share with Sub-Sublandlord on a
pro-rata basis (i.e. the Sub-Subtenant shall retain the Sub-Subtenant's Pro-Rata
Share of each such benefit or credit and the balance shall be paid or credited
to Sub-Sublandlord) any and all benefits or credits derived or received by
Sub-Subtenant in connection with this Sub-Sublease, including, without
limitation, any credits or payments received by Sub-Subtenant relating to
brokerage commissions or similar arrangements in connection with this
Sub-Sublease or the Sublease. Sub-Sublandlord agrees to share with Sub-Subtenant
on a pro-rata basis all payments of Rent and Additional Rent received by
Sub-Sublandlord from BOI or any successor sub-subtenant of the BOI Space (i.e.
the Sub-Sublandlord shall pay or credit the Sub-Subtenant with Sub-Subtenant's
Pro-Rata Share of such Rent or Additional Rent, and shall retain the balance).
Section 4. Security Deposit. Sub-Subtenant shall deposit with
Sub-Sublandlord the sum of $37,082.51 (the "Sub-Subtenant's Security Deposit"),
representing Sub-Subtenant's Pro-Rata Share of the security deposit paid by
Sub-Sublandlord in connection with the Sublease (the "Sub-Sublandlord's Security
Deposit"). The Sub-Subtenant's Security Deposit shall be held by Sub-Sublandlord
as security for the faithful performance and observance by Sub-Subtenant of the
terms and conditions of this Sub-Sublease. Paragraph 20 of the Sublease is
hereby incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as if it
was fully set forth herein, provided that any reference therein to "Sublandlord"
shall be deemed to refer to Sub-Sublandlord and any reference therein to
"Subtenant" shall be deemed to refer to Sub-Subtenant.
Section 5. Possession. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Subtenant has inspected the M&M Space, the Building and
the Land and hereby agrees to accept the same "as is", without any warranties,
representations or obligations, express or implied, on the part of
Sub-Sublandlord to perform any maintenance, repair, alteration, improvements,
work or other services thereto. Sub-Subtenant acknowledges that Sub-Sublandlord
has made no representations or warranties with respect to either the M&M Space
or the Building or the condition thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Sub-Sublandlord agrees to cooperate with Sub-Subtenant in obtaining for
Sub-Subtenant a portion of the "Tenant's Allowance", as more
particularly referred to in Section 7 hereof.
Section 6. Delays. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Sub-Sublease, if Sub-Sublandlord is unable to deliver possession of the M&M
Space for any reason beyond the reasonable control of Sub-Sublandlord, including
without limitation a delay by Prime Tenant in delivering the Subleased Premises
to Sub-Sublandlord, Sub-Sublandlord shall not be subject to any claims, damages
or liabilities whatsoever, nor shall this Sub-Sublease be void or voidable, nor
shall the Expiration Date be extended.
Section 7. Fit-Up and Allowance. It is understood and agreed that, in
accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 6, sub-Paragraph g., of the
Sublease, Sub-Sublandlord is obligated, at its cost, to perform all work
necessary for the completion of the initial Subtenant Improvements (as defined
in the Sublease), and, in connection therewith, the Prime Tenant has agreed to
contribute a sum not exceeding $1,200,000 ("Tenant's Allowance"). Sub-Subtenant
hereby agrees, at its cost, to perform all work necessary to prepare the M&M
Space for Sub-Subtenant's initial use and occupancy and, in consideration
therefor, Sub-Sublandlord shall contribute to Sub-Subtenant, Sub-Subtenant's
Pro-Rata Share of all payments of Tenant's Allowance as and when received by
Sub-Sublandlord from the Prime Tenant. Sub-Subtenant agrees to perform all such
work in accordance with the requirements of Paragraph 6 of the Sublease
applicable to Sub-Sublandlord and to provide all documents and other information
and material applicable to Sub-Sublandlord pursuant to sub-Paragraph g. of said
Paragraph 6 of the Sublease, at such times and in such manner as to enable
Sub-Sublandlord to fully comply with all obligations of said Paragraph 6 in a
timely and satisfactory manner.

respect to the M&M Space or the Building or Land which will constitute a default
under the Sublease or the Over Lease or under this Sub-Sublease, or fail to do
anything which Sub-Subtenant is obligated to do under the terms hereof which
would constitute a default under the Sublease or the Over Lease or hereunder.
Sub-Subtenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Sub-Sublandlord
harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages,
costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees)
arising out of or based upon Sub-Subtenant's use or occupancy of the M&M Space,
the Building or the Land, including, without limitation, the cafeteria, fitness
facility and parking areas, the negligence or misconduct of Sub-Subtenant, or

remedies available to the Prime Tenant under the Sublease, or at law or equity,
as if such breach occurred thereunder.
(b) Sub-Sublandlord hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
Sub-Subtenant harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities,

that a portion of the first floor space of the Building has been sub-subleased
to BOI (said portion more particularly shown in outline on the floor plan

to the then existing M&M Space, and otherwise as specified by Sub-Sublandlord.
The balance of the BOI Space shall be retained by Sub-Sublandlord for all
purposes and uses permitted by the Sublease (the "Sub-Sublandlord Expansion
Space").
(b) Effective upon the date that the BOI Space shall become available, this
Sub-Sublease shall be deemed amended as follows: The M&M Expansion Space shall
be added to and form a
part of the M&M Space with the same force and effect as if originally demised

apply to the Expansion Space, it being understood and agreed that, if
Sub-Subtenant shall exercise the Expansion Option, it shall accept the Expansion
Space in an "as-is" condition. In the event either Sub-Sublandlord or
Sub-Subtenant shall not desire to have the M&M Expansion Space or the
Sub-Sublandlord Expansion Space added to their respective premises as aforesaid,
then Sub-Sublandlord or Sub-Subtenant, as the case may be, shall so notify the
other party in writing, and such other party shall have the right, at its sole
option, to have the M&M Expansion Space or Sub-Sublandlord Expansion Space, as
the case may be added to their respective premises and the Sub-Subtenant's
Pro-Rata Share shall be revised accordingly.
