Commercial Lease. Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
Commercial Sublease. When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party.

Sublease Agreement. Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

ARTICLE 1

DEMISED PREMISES, TERM, RENTS

Section 1.01. Demised Premises: Owner hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires from Owner a portion of the eighteenth (18^th) floor which is indicated by outlining and diagonal markings on the floor plan, initialed by the parties, annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit 1 in the building known as One Whitehall Street, in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York (said building is referred to as the "Building", and the Building together with the plot of land upon which it stands is referred to as the "Real Property"), at the annual rental rate or rates set forth in Section 1.03, and upon and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease. The premises leased to Tenant, together with all appurtenances, fixtures, improvements, additions and other property attached thereto or installed therein at the commencement of, or at any time during, the term of this Lease, other than Tenant's Personal Property (as defined in Article 4), are referred to, collectively, as the "Demised Premises".

Section 1.02. Demised Term: A. The Demised Premises are leased for a term (referred to as the "Demised Term") to commence on a date, fixed by Owner in a notice to Tenant, not sooner than five (5) days next following the date of the giving of such notice, which notice shall state that Owner has, or prior to the commencement date fixed in said notice will have, substantially completed Owner's Initial Work (provided Owner actually delivers possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant in the condition required hereunder and in accordance with such notice) and to end on the last day of the calendar month in which the day immediately preceding the date which is five (5) years and three (3) months following the commencement of the Demised Term shall occur, unless the Demised Term shall sooner terminate pursuant to any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease or pursuant to law.

B. Notwithstanding anything in Subsection A of this Section 1.02 to the contrary, if, on or prior to the date set forth in said notice required in Subsection A for the commencement of the Demised Term, Owner shall have failed substantially to complete Owner's Initial Work (as defined in Article 12), then: (a) the Demised Term shall not commence on the date set forth in said notice required in Subsection A but shall, instead, commence on a date, fixed by Owner in a second notice to Tenant, not sooner than five (5) days next following the date of the giving of such notice, which notice shall state that Owner has, or prior to the commencement date fixed in said notice will have, substantially completed Owner's Initial Work; and (b) the Demised Term shall end on the last day of the calendar month in which the day immediately preceding the date which is five (5) years and three (3) months following the commencement of the Demised Term shall occur,, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease or pursuant to law; and (c) except as aforesaid, neither the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be affected thereby. The date upon which the Demised Term shall commence pursuant to Subsection A of this Section or pursuant to this Subsection B is referred to as the "Commencement Date", and the date fixed pursuant to said Subsection A or this Subsection B as the date upon which the Demised Term shall end is referred to as the "Expiration Date".

C. Tenant waives any right to rescind this Lease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or any successor statute of similar import then in force and further waives the right to recover any damages which may result from Owner's failure to deliver possession of the Demised Premises on the date set forth in Subsection A of this Section for the commencement of the Demised Term.

D. After the determination of the Commencement Date, Tenant agrees, upon demand of Owner, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Owner, an instrument, in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner and Tenant, setting forth said Commencement Date and the Expiration Date.

Section 1.03. Fixed Rent: A. The Lease is made at the following annual rental rates (referred to as "Fixed Rent"):

FOURTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN AND 00/100 ($14,247.00) DOLLARS with respect to the period (referred to as the "First Rent Period") from the Commencement Date to and including the date immediately preceding the day which is three (3) months immediately following the Commencement Date; and

TWO HUNDRED EIGHT THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED FIFTY-SIX AND 00/100 ($208,956.00) DOLLARS with respect to the remainder of the Demised Term (referred to as the "Second Rent Period").

B. (i) The Fixed Rent, any increases in the Fixed Rent and any additional rent payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease shall be payable by Tenant to Owner at its office (or at such other place as Owner may designate in a notice to Tenant) in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment or by Tenant's good check drawn on a bank or trust company whose principal office is located in New York City and which is a member of the The Clearing House Association L.L.C. without prior demand therefor and without any offset or deduction whatsoever except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease, subject to the terms and conditions of Subsection B(ii) of this Section 1.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may pay the monthly installments of Fixed Rent set forth in this Section 1.03B(i), and any increases in Fixed Rent pursuant to Article 23 which are billed to Tenant at the same time as such monthly installments of Fixed Rent, and any additional rent then due and payable by wire transfer to the account of Owner, provided that (a) Tenant shall give Owner thirty (30) days' prior written notice of Tenant's intent to pay such sums via wire transfer at the time Tenant first elects to do same, (b) Tenant shall give a confirmation of such wire transfer as soon as possible to Owner's e-mail address wireflag@rudin.com (or any other e-mail address of which Owner gives Tenant notice), and (c) such wire transfer shall be received by Owner no later than two (2) days after the date upon which such sums are due and payable. The Fixed Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments in advance, on the first (1st) day of each month during the Demised Term (except as otherwise provided in Subsection C of this Section) as follows:

ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN AND 25/100 ($1,187.25) DOLLARS with respect to the First Rent Period; and

SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED THIRTEEN AND 00/100 ($17,413.00) DOLLARS with respect to the Second Rent Period.

(ii) Supplementing the provisions of Subsection B(i) of Section 1.03, all checks or drafts given by Tenant to Owner in payment of Fixed Rent, increases thereof or additional rent or other charges due Owner under this Lease may, in lieu of being drawn on a bank or trust company that is a member of the New York Clearinghouse Association, be drawn on Silicon Valley Bank, a California-chartered bank.

C. The sum of SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED THIRTEEN AND 00/100 ($17,413.00) DOLLARS, representing the installment of Fixed Rent for the first (1st) full calendar month of the Second Rent Period is due and payable at the time of the execution and delivery of this Lease. In the event that the first day of the Second Rent Period shall occur on a date other than the first (1st) day of any calendar month, Tenant shall pay to Owner, on the first (1st) day of the month next succeeding the month during

which the first day of the Second Rent Period shall occur, a sum equal to FIVE HUNDRED EIGHTY AND 43/100 (580.43) DOLLARS, multiplied by the number of calendar days in the period from the first day of the Second Rent Period to the last day of the month in which the first day of the Second Rent Period shall occur, both inclusive. Such payment, together with the sum paid by Tenant upon the execution of this Lease, shall constitute payment of the Fixed Rent for the period from the first day of the Second Rent Period to and including the last day of the next succeeding calendar month.

D. (i) If Tenant shall use or occupy all or any part of the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date, such use or occupancy shall be deemed to be under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the covenant to pay Fixed Rent for the period from the commencement of said use or occupancy to and including the date immediately preceding the Commencement Date, without, however, affecting the Expiration Date. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to give to Tenant any right to use or occupy all or any part of the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date without the consent of Owner.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant desires, prior to the Commencement Date, to enter the Demised Premises solely for the purposes of inspecting and measuring the Demised Premises and installing telecommunications lines and equipment, Owner shall afford access to the Demised Premises to Tenant's contractors approved by Owner pursuant to the provisions of Article 3, at such time during the course of Owner's Initial Work as Owner shall reasonably determine. Tenant shall cause its contractors to cooperate with Owner and Owner's contractors so that Owner's Initial Work may be completed efficiently and economically. The foregoing notwithstanding, if such access shall interfere with or delay the performance of Owner's Initial Work as determined by Owner in Owner's sole judgment, then Tenant, upon notice from Owner (which notice may be given orally or by other reasonable means not withstanding the provisions of Article 27 to the contrary), shall immediately vacate the Demised Premises for the period prior to the Commencement Date. Any access to the Demised Premises by Tenant as set forth in this Section 1.03(D)(ii) shall be deemed to be under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including, without limitation, the provisions of Article 3 and Article 6 thereof, all as if the Demised Term had already commenced, it being understood, however, that, notwithstanding the terms of Section 1.03(D)(i), Tenant shall have no obligation to pay any Fixed Rent pursuant to this Section 1.03 or any increases therein pursuant to Article 23 with respect to such period of access prior to the Commencement Date.

Section 1.04. Tenant's General Covenant: Tenant covenants (i) to pay the Fixed Rent, any increases in the Fixed Rent, and any additional rent payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, and (ii) to observe and perform, and to permit no violation of, the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed.

Section 1.05. Partial Rent Credit Amount: Tenant acknowledges that the Fixed Rent for the First Rent Period reflects an aggregate rent credit in the sum of FORTY-EIGHT THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY-SEVEN ($48,677.25) DOLLARS (i.e., $16,225.75 per month) (such aggregate rent credit referred to herein as the "Fixed Rent Credit Amount"), so that only an amount equal to the Electrical Inclusion Factor (as defined herein) is to be paid by Tenant during such First Rent Period as set forth in Section 1.03 hereof.

ARTICLE 2

USE AND OCCUPANCY

Section 2.01. General Covenant of Use: Tenant shall use and occupy the Demised Premises for the following purpose: general offices and no other purpose, except that incidental thereto, Tenant may use minor portions of the Demised Premises for the operation of a server room in connection with Tenant's use of the Demised Premises for general office use, provided the same does not violate Legal Requirements (defined herein).

Section 2.02. No Adverse Use: Tenant shall not use or occupy, or permit the use or occupancy of, the Demised Premises or any part thereof, for any purpose other than the purpose specifically set forth in Section 2.01, or in any manner which, in Owner's judgment, (a) shall adversely affect or interfere with (i) any services required to be furnished by Owner to Tenant or to any other tenant or occupant of the Building, or (ii) the proper and economical rendition of any such service, or (iii) the use or enjoyment of any part of the Building by any other tenant or occupant, or (b) shall tend to impair the character or dignity of the Building.

ARTICLE 3

ALTERATIONS

Section 3.01. General Alteration Covenants: Tenant shall not make or perform, or permit the making or performance of, any alterations, installations, decorations, improvements, additions or other physical changes in or about the Demised Premises (referred to collectively, as "Alterations" and individually as an "Alteration") without Owner's prior consent in each instance. Owner agrees not unreasonably to withhold its consent to any non-structural Alterations proposed to be made by Tenant to adapt the Demised Premises for Tenant's business purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner agrees that Tenant may, without Owner's prior consent, make non-structural Alterations in the Demised Premises, provided that the estimated cost of same constituting a single project shall not exceed the sum of $10,000.00 and the same shall not affect the electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation, air-conditioning or any other Building system or any portion of the Building outside of the Demised Premises (any such non-structural Alteration meeting the aforesaid criteria is referred to as a "Qualified Non-Structural Alteration"). Although Owner's consent shall not be required with respect to whether Tenant may perform any Qualified Non-Structural Alteration, at least ten (10) days prior to the commencement of such work, Tenant shall submit to Owner detailed plans and specifications as required under Section I below to enable Owner to determine the nature and extent of such work and to allow Owner to review the manner in which any such proposed Qualified Non-Structural Alterations are to be performed. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section or Owner's consent to any Alterations, all Alterations shall be made and performed in conformity with and subject to the following provisions:

A. All Alterations shall be made and performed at Tenant's sole cost and expense and at such time and in such manner as Owner may, from time to time, reasonably designate;

B. No Alteration shall adversely affect the structural integrity of the Building;

C. Alterations shall be made only by contractors or mechanics approved by Owner, such approval not unreasonably to be withheld (notwithstanding the foregoing, all Alterations requiring mechanics in trades with respect to which Owner has adopted or may hereafter adopt a list or lists of approved contractors shall be made only by contractors selected by Tenant from such list or lists and Owner shall have sole discretion with respect to the contractor performing connections to the Building Class E Fire Alarm and Communication system);

D. No Alteration shall affect any part of the Building other than the Demised Premises or adversely affect any service required to be furnished by Owner to Tenant or to any other tenant or occupant of the Building (including, without limitation, the Building-wide standard systems required to provide elevator, heat, ventilation, air-conditioning and electrical and plumbing services in the Building);

E. No Alteration shall reduce the value or utility of the Building or any portion thereof;

F. No Alteration shall affect the Certificate of Occupancy for the Building or the Demised Premises;

G. No Alteration shall affect the outside appearance of the Building or the color or style of any venetian blinds (except that Tenant may remove any venetian blinds provided that they are promptly replaced by Tenant with Building standard blinds);

H. All business machines and mechanical equipment shall be placed and maintained by Tenant in settings sufficient, in Owner's judgment, to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance to other tenants or occupants of the Building;

I. Tenant shall submit to Owner detailed plans and specifications stamped by Tenant's architect (including layout, architectural, mechanical and structural drawings) for each proposed Alteration, subject to the terms and conditions of Subsection X of this Section 3.01 and shall not commence any such Alteration without first obtaining Owner's approval of such plans and specifications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to Alterations to which Owner's consent is not required or to which Owner has agreed hereunder to not unreasonably withhold consent. If detailed plans and specifications (i) would not, in accordance with good construction practice typically be prepared for such proposed Qualified Non-Structural Alteration, (ii) are not prepared by or on behalf of Tenant and (iii) are not required to be filed with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining permits required to perform the same, then in lieu of submitting detailed plans and specifications, and notwithstanding the terms and conditions of this Subsection I, Tenant shall submit detailed information (along with any existing more general plans or drawings) to enable Owner to determine the nature and extent of the work proposed to be performed. Following the completion of each Alteration, Tenant shall submit to Owner a computerized "as built" drawing file for the Demised Premises (or if the Demised Premises comprise more than one (1) floor, for each floor of the Demised Premises being altered); such file will be in DXF format and contain, on a separate layer, all ceiling-height partitions and doors within the Demised Premises (or if the Demised Premises comprise more than one (1) floor, within each floor of the Demised Premises being altered);

J. Prior to the commencement of each proposed Alteration, Tenant shall have procured and paid for and exhibited to Owner, so far as the same may be required from time to time, all permits, approvals and authorizations of all Governmental Authorities (as defined in Section 6.01.) having or claiming jurisdiction;

K. Prior to the commencement of each proposed Alteration, Tenant shall furnish to Owner duplicate original policies of workmen's compensation insurance covering all persons to be employed in connection with such Alteration, including those to be employed by all contractors and subcontractors, and of comprehensive public liability insurance (including property damage coverage) in which Owner, its agents, the holder of any Mortgage (as defined in Section 7.01.) and any lessor under any Superior Lease (as defined in Section 7.01.) shall be named as parties insured, which policies shall be issued by companies, and shall be in form and amounts, satisfactory to Owner and shall be maintained by Tenant until the completion of such Alteration;

L. In the event Owner or its agents employ any independent architect or engineer to examine any plans or specifications submitted by Tenant to Owner in connection with any proposed Alteration, Tenant agrees to pay to Owner a sum equal to any reasonable fees incurred by Owner in connection therewith.

M. All fireproof wood test reports, electrical and air conditioning certificates, and all other permits, approvals and certificates required by all Governmental Authorities shall be timely obtained by Tenant and submitted to Owner;

N. All Alterations, once commenced, shall be made promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner;

O. Notwithstanding Owner's approval of plans and specifications for any Alteration, all Alterations shall be made and performed in full compliance with all Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 6.01.) and with all applicable rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the New York Board of Fire Underwriters and the New York Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any similar body;

P. All Alterations shall be made and performed in accordance with the Building Rules and Building Rules for Alterations;

Q. All materials and equipment to be installed, incorporated or located in the Demised Premises as a result of all Alterations shall be new and first quality;

R. No materials or equipment shall be subject to any lien, encumbrance, chattel mortgage or title retention or security agreement of any kind;

S. Tenant, before commencement of each Alteration costing in excess of $100,000.00 per project, shall furnish to Owner a performance bond or other security satisfactory to Owner, in an amount at least equal to the estimated cost of such Alteration, guaranteeing the performance and payment thereof;

T. No Alterations, which are not part of a single Alteration project, shall be commenced unless any preceding single Alteration project shall have been fully paid for and proof of such payment furnished to Owner;

U. All Alterations in or to the electrical facilities in or serving the Demised Premises shall be subject to the provisions of Subsection C(1) of Section 29.05 (relating to increases in the Fixed Rent);

V. Following the completion of each Alteration, Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall obtain certificates of final approval of such Alteration required by any Governmental Authority and shall furnish Owner with copies thereof; and

W. Tenant agrees that Tenant will not install, affix, add or paint in or on, nor permit, any work of visual art (as defined in the Federal Visual Artists' Rights Act of 1990 or any successor law of similar import) or other Alteration to be installed in or on, or affixed, added to, or painted on, the interior or exterior of the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, including, but not limited to, the walls, floors, ceilings, doors, windows, fixtures and on land included as part of the Demised Premises, which work of visual art or other Alteration would, under the provisions of the Federal Visual Artists' Rights Act of 1990, or any successor law of similar import, require the consent of the author or artist of such work or Alteration before the same could be removed, modified, destroyed or demolished.

X. No Owner consent (as set forth above) and no submission or review of plans referred to in Subsection I above shall be required for performance by Tenant of any Decoration, provided that such work is performed in compliance with the requirements of this Article (except for Subsection I above). Tenant shall, however, within a reasonable period of time prior to the commencement of the performance of the Decoration, provide Owner with reasonably detailed information setting forth the nature of the Decoration to be done, the anticipated scheduling of the same, the parties performing such work and any other information with respect to the performance of such Decoration which may be reasonably requested by Owner.

Section 3.02. No Consent to Contractor/No Mechanics Lien: Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Owner, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialmen, for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any material for any specific Alteration to, or repair of, the Demised Premises, the Building, or any part of either. Any mechanic's or other lien filed against the Demised Premises or the Building or the Real Property for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant or based upon any act or omission or alleged act or omission of Tenant or any such person shall be discharged by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, within ten (10) days after the filing of such lien.

Section 3.03. Labor Harmony: Tenant shall not, at any time prior to or during the Demised Term, directly or indirectly employ, or permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic or laborer in the Demised Premises, whether in connection with any Alteration or otherwise, if such employment will interfere or cause any conflict with other contractors, mechanics, or laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building by Owner, Tenant or others. In the event of any such interference or conflict, Tenant, upon demand of Owner, shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building immediately.

Section 3.04. Compliance with Fire Safety: Without in any way limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 3.01, all Alterations shall be made and performed in full compliance with all standards and practices adopted by Owner for fire safety in the Building. No Alteration shall affect all or any part of any Class E Fire Alarm and Communication system installed in the Demised Premises, except that in connection with any such Alteration Tenant may relocate certain components of such system, provided (i) such relocation shall be performed in a manner first approved by Owner, (ii) the new location of any such component shall be first approved by Owner, (iii) prior to any such relocation Tenant shall submit to Owner detailed plans and specifications therefor which shall be first approved by Owner and (iv) Owner shall have the election of relocating such components either by itself or by its contractors, in which event all reasonable expenses incurred by Owner shall be reimbursed by Tenant upon demand of Owner, as additional rent.

Section 3.05. Sprinklers: A. In the event that Tenant performs any Alterations in the Demised Premises, Tenant, as part of such Alterations, shall be required to (x) install a sprinkler system in the Demised Premises to the extent not theretofor installed and (y) make all modifications to any existing sprinkler system necessary in connection with such Alterations, and in connection with the foregoing the following provisions of this Section shall apply: (i) such sprinkler system and/or modifications thereto shall comply with all applicable laws, orders, rules and regulations; (ii) the supplying and installing of any such sprinkler system and/or modifications thereto shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions of this Article and Article 6 and the type, brand, location and manner of installation of such sprinkler system and/or modifications thereto shall be subject to Owner's prior approval; and (iii) Tenant shall make all repairs and replacements, as and when necessary, to such sprinkler system including any modifications thereto and any replacements thereof. Notwithstanding the aforesaid provisions of this Section, Owner shall have the election of supplying and installing such sprinkler system and/or modifications thereto either by itself or by its agents or contractors, in which event all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by Owner in connection with supplying and installing such sprinkler system and/or modifications thereto and any repairs or replacements of such sprinkler system as the same may be modified and any replacements thereof made by Owner, at Owner's election, shall be paid by Tenant to Owner within thirty (30) days next following the rendition of a statement thereof by Owner to Tenant. In addition to paying all costs and expenses in connection with the supplying, installing and modifying of such sprinkler system, Tenant shall pay to Owner, for each floor of the Building on which any portion of the Demised Premises is located, a fee equal to Tenant's pro rata share of all of the costs and expenses incurred by Owner, if any, in supplying and installing a "common sprinkler header" on such floor which pro rata share shall be a fraction in which the numerator shall be the number of rentable square feet of that portion of the Demised Premises located on such floor and the denominator shall be the number of rentable square feet on such floor, provided however, that notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, Owner shall have no obligation to install such "common sprinkler header" on any floor of the Building which shall be entirely demised to Tenant. Such fee shall be payable to Owner within thirty (30) days next following the rendition of a statement thereof by Owner to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, such sprinkler system, or any replacement thereof and any modifications and/or installations in connection therewith, whether made by Tenant or Owner, shall upon expiration or sooner termination of the Demised Term be deemed the property of Owner.

B. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of Subsection A above, the Demised Premises initially leased on the Commencement Date shall contain a sprinkler system. In addition, notwithstanding the terms and conditions of Subsection A above, but subject to the terms and conditions of this Subsection B, with respect to all periods prior to the date, if any, upon which Tenant shall perform Alterations to, or Alterations which shall affect, the sprinkler system in the Demised Premises (the "Pre-Alteration Period"), Owner, at Owner's expense, shall perform routine maintenance of, and shall repair and replace if necessary, said sprinkler system and Tenant shall not be required to do the same; provided, however, that from and after the date upon which Tenant shall make any Alterations to, or Alterations which shall affect, the sprinkler system in the Demised Premises, the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall no longer be applicable with respect to the portion of sprinkler system affected by such Alterations and Tenant shall have all of the obligations set forth in Subsection A above with respect to the portion of sprinkler system affected by such Alterations. In the event, however, that during the Pre-Alteration Period, any maintenance, repairs or replacements to the sprinkler system shall be necessitated or occasioned by the acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant or any of their servants, employees, contractors, agents, visitors or licensees, or by the manner of use or occupancy of the Demised Premises by Tenant or any such person, then Owner shall perform the same at Tenant's sole cost and expense and Tenant shall reimburse Owner for the costs of the same within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, or, at Owner's election, Tenant shall perform such maintenance, repairs or replacement at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Owner shall also perform inspections of said sprinkler system as and when required by Legal Requirements and Tenant shall give Owner reasonable access to perform such repairs, replacements, maintenance and inspections. Any such sprinkler system, and any replacements thereof, whether made at Tenant's expense or Owner's expense, shall be deemed the property of Owner.

Section 3.06. Asbestos or Asbestos Containing Material: A. In the event that, at any time during the Demised Term, in connection with any Alterations proposed to be performed by Tenant in the Demised Premises Tenant is unable to obtain a New York City Department of Environmental Protection Form ACP5 dated 2/01 (or any successor form), signed by a certified asbestos investigator, or any other form or approval required by Federal, State, County or Municipal authorities, indicating that said Alterations do not constitute an asbestos project, Owner agrees, upon notice from Tenant to such effect, to perform such work as shall be required to enable Tenant to obtain any such form or approval.

B. If any Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 6.01) require that any asbestos or other asbestos containing material contained in or about the Demised Premises be removed or dealt with in any particular manner, then it shall be Owner's obligation, at Owner's expense, to remove or so deal with such asbestos or other asbestos containing material in accordance with such Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 6.01).

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsections A and B of this Section, in the event any work performed by Owner pursuant to the provisions of either or both of such Subsections is in any way disturbed or damaged by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant, or asbestos or other asbestos containing material is installed in the Demised Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, or any person claiming through or under Tenant, Owner shall have no responsibility in connection therewith and no obligation to perform any work with respect thereto, but it shall be Tenant's obligation, at Tenant's expense, to (i) perform such work as shall be required to enable Tenant to obtain any form or approval referred to in Subsection A, and (ii) remove or so deal with such asbestos or other asbestos containing material in accordance with all such Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 6.01) referred to in Subsection B. Any work required to be performed by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of the foregoing sentence is referred to as the "Compliance Work". In the event Tenant is required to perform any Compliance Work then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Subsection C, Owner, at Owner's election, shall have the option to itself perform any Compliance Work and, in such event, Tenant shall pay to Owner all of Owner's costs in connection therewith within ten (10) days next following the rendition of a statement thereof by Owner to Tenant.

D. Since current Legal Requirements state that no New York City Department of Environmental Protection Form ACP-5 dated 2/01 (or any successor form) may be issued without plans and specifications for the Alterations in question, wherever in this Lease Owner has agreed to supply Tenant with a New York City Department of Environmental Protection form ACP-5 dated 2/01 (or any successor form), Owner's obligation to supply such form shall be conditioned on the requirement that Tenant has delivered to Owner such plans and specifications for the Alterations in question to enable Owner to obtain such form.

Section 3.07. Dispute Resolution: Any dispute with respect to the reasonability of any failure or refusal of Owner to grant its consent or approval to any request for such consent or approval pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.01 with respect to which request Owner has agreed, in such Section not unreasonably to withhold such consent or approval, shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 36.

Section 3.08. Tenant's Initial Work Including Air-Cooled A/C Unit: Owner acknowledges that Tenant desires to perform, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, the Alterations described on Exhibit 3 attached hereto ("Tenant's Initial Work"). Owner has no conceptual objections to the performance of Tenant's Initial Work and therefore approves the same in concept, provided that such approval shall not vitiate the terms and conditions of this Article 3 with respect to such Alterations, including, without limitation Section 3.01I. Accordingly, the details with respect to such work along with the performance thereof shall be subject to Owner's approval which shall be granted or withheld in accordance with this Article 3 and shall be made and performed in accordance with the provisions of this Lease including the provisions of Articles 3 and 6. Owner agrees that Tenant's Initial Work shall not constitute Specialty Alterations (as hereinafter defined) which are required to be removed upon expiration of the Demised Term or earlier termination of the Lease. In furtherance of the foregoing with respect to the a/c unit referred to on Exhibit 3, Owner agrees that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease as aforesaid, Tenant shall be permitted to install one (1) separate air-cooled air conditioning unit to serve the Demised Premises (referred to as a "Supplemental AC Unit") and all necessary equipment for the operation of any such Supplemental AC Unit (collectively, such equipment and any such Supplemental AC Unit are referred to herein as the "Supplemental AC System") to provide conditioned air to the Demised Premises. In connection with the installation of such Supplemental AC System, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation, Articles 3 and 6, Tenant may install a vent through an exterior window in a location reasonably approved by Owner on the north side of the Building to vent any such Supplemental AC System installed by Tenant. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, maintain the Supplemental AC System and make all repairs and replacements to the Supplemental AC System and any replacements thereof as and when needed during the Demised Term.

Section 3.09. Tenant's Security System: Owner acknowledges that Tenant may desire to install a card key system on the main entrance door to the Demised Premises. Owner shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the installation by Tenant in the Demised Premises of such system, provided that Tenant delivers a copy of the key or other override mechanism necessary to unlock the same to Owner, with it understood that Owner's access to the Demised Premises shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease. Such installation shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation, Articles 3 and 6 hereof.

ARTICLE 4

OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENTS

Section 4.01. General Rights of Owner and Tenant: All appurtenances, fixtures, improvements, additions and other property attached to or installed in the Demised Premises, whether by Owner or Tenant or others, and whether at Owner's expense, or Tenant's expense, or the joint expense of Owner and Tenant, shall be and remain the property of Owner, except that any such Alterations, fixtures, improvements, additions and other property installed at the sole expense of Tenant with respect to which Tenant has not been granted any credit or allowance by Owner, and which are removable without material damage to the Demised Premises shall be and remain the property of Tenant and are referred to as "Tenant's Personal Property". Any replacements of any property of Owner, whether made at Tenant's expense or otherwise, shall be and remain the property of Owner.

Tenant may, at Tenant's option, (i) remove Tenant's Personal Property from the Demised Premises at any time during the Demised Term and (ii) lease and/or finance any moveable equipment that is Tenant's Personal Property. Owner shall have no lien on Tenant's Personal Property.

ARTICLE 5

REPAIRS

Section 5.01. Tenant's Repair Obligations: Tenant shall take good care of the Demised Premises (including, but not limited to, any Class E Fire Alarm and Communication system and any sprinkler system installed therein and any installations made or equipment installed therein as a result of any requirement of New York City Local Law #16 of 1984 or any successor law or like import) and, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall make all repairs and replacements, structural and otherwise, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen as and when needed to preserve the Demised Premises (including, but not limited to, any Class E Fire Alarm and Communication system and any sprinkler system installed therein and any installations made or equipment installed therein as a result of any requirement of New York City Local Law #16 of 1984 or any successor law of like import) in good and safe working order and in first class repair and condition, except that Tenant shall not be required to make any structural repairs or structural replacements to the Demised Premises unless necessitated or occasioned by the acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant or any of their servants, employees, contractors, agents, visitors or licensees, or by the manner of use or occupancy of the Demised Premises by Tenant or any such person (in contradistinction to the mere use or occupancy of the Demised Premises for general office use). For the purposes of this Article, the installation, maintenance, repair and replacement of a sprinkler system or any part thereof, or any work pertaining to such sprinkler system, or any repairs or work involving asbestos or other hazardous materials or involving compliance with Local Laws #5 of 1973, #16 of 1984, #58 of 1987 and the Americans With Disabilities Act and any successor laws of like import shall be deemed to be non-structural repairs or replacements. Without affecting Tenant's obligations set forth in the preceding sentence, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall also (i) make all repairs and replacements, and perform all maintenance as and when necessary, to the lamps, tubes, ballasts, and starters in the lighting fixtures installed in the Demised Premises, (ii) make all repairs and replacements, as and when necessary, to Tenant's Personal Property and to any Alterations made or performed by or on behalf of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant, and (iii) if the Demised Premises shall include any space on any ground, street, mezzanine or basement floor in the Building, make all replacements, as and when necessary, to all windows and plate and other glass in, on or about such space, and obtain and maintain, throughout the Demised Term, plate glass insurance policies issued by companies, and in form and amounts, reasonably satisfactory to Owner, in which Owner, its agents and any lessor under any ground or underlying lease shall be named as parties insured, and (iv) perform all maintenance and make all repairs and replacements, as and when necessary, to any air conditioning equipment, private elevators, escalators, conveyors or mechanical systems (other than the Building's standard equipment and systems) which may be installed in the Demised Premises for the sole use of Tenant. However, the provisions of the foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to give to Tenant any right to install air conditioning equipment, elevators, escalators, conveyors or mechanical systems. All repairs and replacements made by or on behalf of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant shall be made and performed in conformity with, and subject to the provisions of Article 3 and shall be at least equal in quality and class to the original work or installation. The necessity for, and adequacy of, repairs and replacements pursuant to this Article 5 shall be measured by the standard which is appropriate for first class office buildings of similar construction and class in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. Tenant's obligations under this Section 5.01 shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9 and the so-called "waiver of subrogation" provisions referred to therein.

Section 5.02. Owner's Repair Obligations and Class E Devices: A. Owner, at Owner's cost and expense, shall make (i) all structural repairs to the Demised Premises as and when required, (ii) all repairs necessary to furnish the elevator, plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, heating and ventilation services required to be furnished by Owner to Tenant under the provisions of Article 29, (iii) all necessary repairs to the public portions of the Building which materially affect Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises, and

(iv) and perform routine maintenance, if necessary, to the standpipe system and control assembly of the Building sprinkler system (as described in Section 3.05(B) of this Lease), except that Owner shall not be required to make any of the repairs referred to in subdivision (i), (ii) or (iii) of this sentence if Tenant is obligated to make such repairs pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.0l. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Owner shall have no obligation to make any repairs unless and until specific notice of the necessity therefor shall have been given by Tenant to Owner. Owner's obligations under this Section 5.02 shall be subject to the provisions of Article 9 and the so-called "waiver of subrogation" provisions referred to therein.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.01, Owner, at Owner's expense, shall perform routine maintenance of, and shall repair and replace if necessary, any Class E devices installed in the Demised Premises which are required by Legal Requirements (as defined herein) and any replacements thereof; however, Tenant acknowledges that in the event there shall be a Class E subsystem in the Demised Premises, Owner shall not be obligated to perform any maintenance with respect to such subsystem or make any repairs or replacements thereto, nor shall Owner be obligated to repair, replace or maintain any Class E devices connected to such subsystem. Tenant further acknowledges that if any repairs to or replacement of any Class E devices installed in the Demised Premises is necessitated or occasioned by the acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant or any of their servants, employees, contractors, agents, visitors or licensees, then Tenant shall perform the same at Tenant's sole cost and expense or, at Owner's election, Owner shall perform such repairs or replacement and Tenant shall reimburse Owner for the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of the same within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. Owner shall perform inspections of the Class E devices installed in the Demised Premises (other than those connected to any subsystem) as and when required by Legal Requirements, and Tenant shall give Owner reasonable access to perform such repairs, maintenance and inspections.

ARTICLE 6

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

Section 6.01. General Tenant Covenants: Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall comply with all Legal Requirements (hereinafter defined) which shall impose any duty upon Owner or Tenant with respect to the Demised Premises or the use or occupation thereof, including, but not limited to, the installation of, modification to and/or maintenance of a sprinkler system to serve the Demised Premises or any part thereof and any requirement that asbestos or other hazardous material be removed or dealt with in any particular manner, except that Tenant shall not be required to make any structural Alterations in order so to comply unless such Alterations shall be necessitated or occasioned, in whole or in part, by the acts, omissions, or negligence of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant, or any of their servants, employees, contractors, agents, visitors or licensees, or by the manner of use or occupancy of the Demised Premises by Tenant or any such person (in contradistinction to the mere use or occupancy of the Demised Premises for general office use). For all purposes of this Lease the term "Legal Requirements" shall mean all present and future laws, codes, ordinances, statutes, requirements, orders and regulations, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen (including, but not limited to, the New York State Energy Conservation Construction Code, New York City Local Laws #5 of 1973, #16 of 1984 and #58 of 1987 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, and any successor laws of like import) of any Governmental Authority (hereinafter defined) and all directions, requirements, orders and notices of violations thereof. For all purposes of this Lease, the term "Governmental Authority" shall mean the United States of America, the State of New York, the County of New York, the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, any political subdivision thereof and any agency, department, commission, board, bureau or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, now existing or hereafter created, having jurisdiction over Owner, Tenant, this Lease or the Real Property or any portion thereof. Any work or installations made or performed by or on behalf of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be made in conformity with, and subject to the provisions of Article 3. For the purposes of this Article, the installation and maintenance of a sprinkler system or part thereof or any work pertaining such sprinkler system or any requirement that any asbestos or other hazardous material be removed or dealt with in any particular manner or any Alterations required to comply with Local Law #5 of 1973, #16 of 1984,

#58 of 1987 and the Americans With Disabilities Act and any successor laws of like import shall be deemed to be a non-structural Alteration. Any work with respect to a sprinkler system shall be made in conformity with the provisions of Section 3.05. Compliance with any requirement regarding asbestos or other asbestos containing material shall be made in conformity with the provisions of Section 3.06. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's obligations under this Section 6.01 shall be subject to Owner's obligations under Section 3.06.

Section 6.02. Tenant's Compliance with Owner's Fire Insurance: Tenant shall not do anything, or permit anything to be done, in or about the Demised Premises which shall (i) invalidate or be in conflict with the provisions of any fire and/or other insurance policies covering the Building or any property located therein, or (ii) result in a refusal by fire insurance companies of good standing to insure the Building or any such property in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Owner, or (iii) subject Owner to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or property by reason of any business operation being conducted in the Demised Premises, or (iv) cause any increase in the fire insurance rates applicable to the Building or property located therein at the beginning of the Demised Term or at any time thereafter. To the extent required by Section 6.01, Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall comply with all present and future rules, orders, regulations and/or requirements of the New York Board of Fire Underwriters and the New York Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any similar body and the issuer of any insurance obtained by Owner covering the Building and/or the Real Property, whether ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, including, but not limited to, the installation and maintenance of, or any other work pertaining to, any a sprinkler system to serve the Demised Premises or any part thereof, any requirement that asbestos or other hazardous material introduced or disturbed by Tenant be removed or dealt with in any particular manner and any requirement of New York City Local Law #5 of 1973, #16 of 1984, #58 of 1987 and the Americans With Disabilities Act or any successor laws of like import. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant's obligations under this Section 6.01 shall be subject to Owner's obligations under Sections 3.05B and 3.06.

Section 6.03. Fire Insurance Rates: In any action or proceeding wherein Owner and Tenant are parties, a schedule or "make up" of rates applicable to the Building or property located therein issued by the New York Fire Insurance Rating Organization, or other similar body fixing such fire insurance rates, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated and of the several items and charges in the fire insurance rates then applicable to the Building or property located therein.

ARTICLE 7

SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT, ETC.

Section 7.01. Lease Subordination: This Lease and all rights of Tenant under this Lease are, and shall remain, unconditionally subject and subordinate in all respects to all ground and underlying leases now or hereafter in effect affecting the Real Property or any portion thereof, and to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect such leases or the Real Property, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, correlations, replacements and extensions of, and substitutions for, such leases and mortgages (such leases as above described are referred to herein collectively as the "Superior Lease" and such mortgages as above described are referred to herein collectively as the "Mortgage"). The foregoing provisions of this Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute and deliver promptly any certificate or other instrument which Owner, or any lessor under any Superior Lease, or any holder of any Mortgage may reasonably request. If, in connection with obtaining financing with respect to the Building, the Real Property, or the interest of the lessee under any Superior Lease, any recognized lending institution shall request reasonable modifications of this Lease as a condition of such financing, Tenant covenants not unreasonably to withhold or delay its agreement to such modifications, provided that such modifications do not materially increase the obligations, or materially and adversely affect the rights, of Tenant under this Lease. No act or failure to act on the part of Owner which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant's obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless (i) Tenant shall have first given written notice of Owner's act or failure to act to the holder or holders of any

Mortgage and/or the lessor under any Superior Lease of whom Tenant has been given written notice, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Owner which could or would give basis to Tenant's rights; and (ii) the holder or holders of such Mortgage and/or the lessors under any Superior Lease, after receipt of such notice, have failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of within a reasonable time thereafter, but nothing contained in this sentence shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such holder or lessor to correct or cure any such condition. "Reasonable time" as used above means and includes a reasonable time to obtain possession of the Building if any such holder or lessor elects to do so (provided such holder or lessor institutes proceedings to obtain possession within a reasonable time after notice from Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions and conducts such proceedings with reasonable diligence) and a reasonable time after so obtaining possession to correct or cure the condition if such condition is determined to exist (provided such holder or lessor commences said cure within ten (10) days after obtaining possession and prosecutes the work required to cure with reasonable diligence).

Section 7.02. Tenant Attornment: If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Demised Term, any Superior Lease under which Owner then shall be the lessee shall terminate or be terminated for any reason, or the holder of any Mortgage comes into possession of the Real Property or the Building or the estate created by any Superior Lease by a receiver or otherwise, Tenant agrees, at the election and upon demand of any owner of the Real Property, or of the holder of any Mortgage so in possession, or of any lessor under any Superior Lease covering the premises which include the Demised Premises, to attorn, from time to time, to any such owner, holder, or lessor, upon the then executory terms and conditions of this Lease, for the remainder of the term originally demised in this Lease, provided that such owner, holder or lessor, as the case may be, shall then be entitled to possession of the Demised Premises. The provisions of this Section shall enure to the benefit of any such owner, holder, or lessor, shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the termination of any Superior Lease, shall be self-operative upon any such demand, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions. Tenant, however, upon demand of any such owner, holder, or lessor, agrees to execute, from time to time, instruments in confirmation of the foregoing provisions of this Section, reasonably satisfactory to any such owner, holder, or lessor, acknowledging such attornment and setting forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to impair any right otherwise exercisable by any such owner, holder, or lessor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article no such owner, holder or lessor shall be bound by (i) any payment of any installment of Fixed Rent or increases therein or any additional rent which may have been made more than thirty (30) days before the due date of such installment (except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease), or (ii) any amendment or modification to this Lease which is made without its consent, except for any amendment or modification for which such holder's or lessor's consent is not required under the applicable Mortgage or Superior Lease.

Section 7.03. Tenant Estoppel Certificate: From time to time, within ten (10) days next following Owner's request, Tenant shall deliver to Owner a written statement executed and acknowledged by Tenant, in form satisfactory to Owner, (i) stating that this Lease is then in full force and effect and has not been modified (or if modified, setting forth the specific nature of all modifications), and (ii) setting forth the date to which the Fixed Rent has been paid, and (iii) stating whether or not, to the knowledge of Tenant, Owner is in default under this Lease, and, if Owner is in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults and (iv) stating that Tenant has accepted and occupied the Demised Premises and all improvements required to be made by Owner pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, have been made, if such be the case. Tenant acknowledges that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section may be relied upon by any purchaser or owner of the Building, or of the Real Property, or any part thereof, or of Owner's interest in the Building or the Real Property or any Superior Lease, or by the holder of any Mortgage, or by any assignee of the holder of any Mortgage, or by any lessor under any Superior Lease.

Section 7.04. Owner Assignment of Lease and Rents: If Owner assigns its interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, to the holder of any Mortgage or the lessor under any Superior Lease, whether the assignment shall be conditional in nature or otherwise, Tenant agrees that (a) the execution thereof by Owner and the acceptance by such holder or lessor shall not be deemed an assumption by such holder or lessor of any of the obligations of the Owner under this Lease unless such holder or lessor shall, by written notice sent to Tenant,

specifically otherwise elect; and (b) except as aforesaid, such holder or lessor shall be treated as having assumed Owner's obligations hereunder only upon the foreclosure of such holder's Mortgage or the termination of such lessor's Superior Lease and the taking of possession of the Demised Premises by such holder or lessor, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 8

PROPERTY LOSS, ETC.

Section 8.01. Any Building employee to whom any property shall be entrusted by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be acting as Tenant's agent with respect to such property and neither Owner nor Owner's agents shall be liable for any loss of or damage to any such property by theft or otherwise. Neither (i) the performance by Owner, Tenant or others of any decorations, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Building or the Demised Premises, nor (ii) the failure of Owner or others to make any such decorations, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, nor (iii) any damage to the Demised Premises or to the property of Tenant, nor any injury to any persons, caused by other tenants or persons in the Building, or by operations in the construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, or by any other cause, nor (iv) any latent defect in the Building or in the Demised Premises, nor (v) any temporary closing or darkening of any windows of the Demised Premises for any reason whatsoever including, but not limited to, Owner's own acts, nor any permanent darkening, closing, or bricking up of any such windows if required by Legal Requirements or in connection with any construction on adjacent property, nor (vi) any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to or interruption of Tenant's business by reason of any of the events or occurrences referred to in the foregoing subdivisions (i) through (v), shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner, or its agents, or any lessor under any Superior Lease, other than such liability as may be imposed upon Owner by law for Owner's negligence or intentional misconduct or the negligence or intentional misconduct of Owner's agents, servants or employees in the operation or maintenance of the Building or for the breach by Owner of any express covenant of this Lease on Owner's part to be performed. Tenant's taking possession of the Demised Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that, at the time such possession was so taken, the Demised Premises and the Building were in good and satisfactory condition Owner's Initial Work was substantially completed. The terms and conditions of this Article 8 shall not vitiate Tenant's rights under Section 13.05.

ARTICLE 9

DESTRUCTION-FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY

Section 9.01. Owner's Repair Obligations: If the Demised Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and if Tenant shall give prompt notice to Owner of such damage, Owner, at Owner's expense, shall repair such damage reasonably promptly under the cirumstances. However, Owner shall have no obligation to repair any damage to, or to replace, Tenant's Personal Property, or any Alterations made to the Demised Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, including without limitation, any of Tenant's Alterations (whether or not paid for in whole or in part with an Owner's work contribution) or any of Owner's Initial Work (other than that portion of Owner's Initial Work, if any, relating to the core bathrooms located on the floor on which the Demised Premises is located) or any other property or effects of Tenant (all of such Tenant's Personal Property, Alterations, Owner's Initial Work and other property are further collectively referred to as "Tenant's Property Interest"). Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.03, if the entire Demised Premises shall be rendered untenantable by reason of any such damage, the Fixed Rent, including the portion of Fixed Rent which is the Electrical Inclusion Factor, and the escalation payments pursuant to Article 23, shall abate for the period from the date of such damage to the date when such damage shall have been repaired, and if only a part of the Demised Premises shall be so rendered untenantable, the Fixed Rent, including the portion of Fixed Rent which is the Electrical Inclusion Factor, and the escalation payments pursuant to Article 23, shall abate for such period in the proportion which the area of the part of the

Demised Premises so rendered untenantable bears to the total area of the Demised Premises (except that with respect to any period(s) in which the Demised Premises shall be comprised of spaces which are then leased at different per square foot rental rates, then with respect to any such periods, the Fixed Rent, including the portion of Fixed Rent which is the Electrical Inclusion Factor, shall abate equitably for such period(s) on the basis of the area of the part of the Demised Premises so rendered untenantable and the Fixed Rent applicable thereto). However, if, prior to the date when all of such damage shall have been repaired, any part of the Demised Premises so damaged shall be rendered tenantable and shall be used or occupied by Tenant or any person or persons claiming through or under Tenant, then the amount by which the Fixed Rent, including the portion of Fixed Rent which is the Electrical Inclusion Factor, and the escalation payments pursuant to Article 23, shall abate shall be equitably apportioned for the period from the date of any such use or occupancy to the date when all such damage shall have been repaired. Tenant hereby expressly waives the provisions of Section 227 of the New York Real Property Law, and of any successor law of like import then in force, and Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Article shall govern and control in lieu thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if, prior to or during the Demised Term, (i) the Demised Premises shall be totally damaged or rendered wholly untenantable by fire or other casualty, and if Owner shall decide not to restore the Demised Premises, or (ii) the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty that, in Owner's opinion, substantial alteration, demolition, or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Demised Premises shall have been damaged or rendered untenantable), then, in any of such events, Owner, at Owner's option, may give to Tenant, within ninety (90) days after such fire or other casualty, a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease and the Demised Term shall come to an end and expire (whether or not said term shall have commenced) upon the expiration of said five (5) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said five (5) days were the Expiration Date, the Fixed Rent shall be apportioned as of such date and any prepaid portion of Fixed Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Owner to Tenant.

Section 9.02. Owner's Subrogation Waiver Provisions: Owner has obtained and shall attempt to maintain, throughout the Demised Term, in Owner's fire and property insurance policies covering the Building, provisions to the effect that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all right of recovery against any party for loss occurring to the Building. In the event that at any time Owner's fire insurance carriers shall exact an additional premium for the inclusion of such or similar provisions, Owner shall give Tenant notice thereof. In such event, if Tenant agrees, in writing, to reimburse Owner for Tenant's proportionate share of such additional premium for the remainder of the Demised Term, Owner shall require the inclusion of such or similar provisions by Owner's fire insurance carriers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, as long as such or similar provisions are included in Owner's fire insurance policies then in force, or if Owner fails to maintain insurance including such provisions, although such provisions are available (or provided Tenant has agreed to pay its proportionate share as aforesaid) under a standard all risk policy, Owner hereby waives, regardless of the negligence of Tenant, (i) any obligation on the part of Tenant to make repairs to the Demised Premises necessitated or occasioned by fire or other casualty that is insurable under a standard all risk policy, and (ii) any right of recovery against Tenant, any other permitted occupant of the Demised Premises, and any of their servants, employees, agents or contractors, for any loss occasioned by fire or other casualty which is an insured risk under such policies. In the event that at any time Owner's fire insurance carriers shall not include such or similar provisions in Owner's fire insurance policies, the waivers set forth in the foregoing sentence shall, upon notice given by Owner to Tenant, be deemed of no further force or effect.

Section 9.03. Tenant Negligence: Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.02, nothing contained in this Lease shall relieve Tenant of any liability to Owner or to its insurance carriers which Tenant may have under law or the provisions of this Lease in connection with any damage to the Demised Premises or the Building caused by fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.01, if any such damage, occurring after any date when the waivers set forth in Section 9.02 are no longer in force and effect, is due to the fault or neglect of Tenant, any person claiming through or under Tenant, or any of their servants, employees, agents, contractors, visitors or licensees, then there shall be no abatement of Fixed Rent by reason of such damage. Supplementing the provisions of Section 9.02, if any damage to the Demised Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty occurring after any date when the waivers set forth in Section 9.02 are no longer in force and effect, is due to the fault or negligence of Tenant, any person claiming through or under Tenant, or any of their servants,

employees, agents, contractors, visitors or licensees, and if Owner shall have rent insurance policies in force at that time covering the loss of Fixed Rent for the Demised Premises, and if such policies shall not be affected by the following provisions of this Section, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.03 to the contrary, the Fixed Rent shall abate in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01, but only to the extent of any proceeds received by Owner under such rent insurance policies with respect to the Demised Premises and the Demised Term.

Section 9.04. Tenant Subrogation Waiver Provisions: Tenant acknowledges that it has been advised that Owner's insurance policies do not cover Tenant's Property Interest; accordingly, it shall be Tenant's obligation to obtain and maintain insurance covering Tenant's Property Interest and loss of profits including, but not limited to, water damage coverage and business interruption insurance. Tenant shall attempt to obtain and maintain, throughout the Demised Term, in Tenant's fire and other property insurance policies covering Tenant's Property Interest, and Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, and/or Tenant's profits (and shall cause any other permitted occupants of the Demised Premises to attempt to obtain and maintain, in similar policies), provisions to the effect that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all right of recovery against any party for loss occasioned by fire or other casualty which is an insured risk under such policies. In the event that at any time the fire insurance carriers issuing such policies shall exact an additional premium for the inclusion of such or similar provisions, Tenant shall give Owner notice thereof. In such event, if Owner agrees, in writing, to reimburse Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant, as the case may be, for its proportionate share of such additional premium for the remainder of the Demised Term, Tenant shall require the inclusion of such or similar provisions by such insurance carriers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, as long as such or similar provisions are included in such insurance policies then in force, or if Tenant fails to maintain insurance including such provisions, although such provisions are available (or provided Owner has agreed to pay its proportionate share as aforesaid) under a standard all risk policy, Tenant hereby waives (and agrees to cause any other permitted occupants of the Demised Premises to execute and deliver to Owner written instruments waiving), regardless of the negligence of Owner, any right of recovery against Owner, any lessors under any Superior Leases, the holders of any Mortgage, and all other tenants or occupants of the Building, and any servants, employees, agents or contractors of Owner, or of any such lessor or holder or of any such other tenants or occupants, for any loss occasioned by fire or other casualty which is insurable under such policies. In the event that at any time such insurance carriers shall not include such or similar provisions in any such insurance policy, the waiver set forth in the foregoing sentence (or in any written instrument executed by any other permitted occupant of the Demised Premises) shall, upon notice given by Tenant to Owner, be deemed of no further force or effect with respect to any insured risks under such policy from and after the giving of such notice. During any period while any such waiver of right of recovery is in effect, Tenant, or any other permitted occupant of the Demised Premises, as the case may be, shall look solely to the proceeds of such policies to compensate Tenant or such other permitted occupant for any loss occasioned by fire or other casualty which is an insured risk under such policies.

Section 9.05. Tenant's Right to Terminate: A. Supplementing the provisions of Section 9.01, in the event (a) the Demised Premises or Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and Tenant shall be unable to use the Demised Premises as a result of such damage and (b) Owner shall not exercise the right to terminate this Lease in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 and shall, accordingly, be obligated to repair any such damage, then, if such damage is not repaired within the Casualty Restoration Period (as defined herein), Tenant shall have the following options:

(i) to give to Owner, within ten (10) days next following the expiration of the Casualty Restoration Period, a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease, or

(ii) to extend the Casualty Restoration Period for a further period of six (6) months by notice given to Owner within ten (10) days after the expiration of the initial Casualty Restoration Period. In the event Tenant shall have given such notice to Owner extending the initial Casualty Restoration Period and if such damage shall not have been repaired by Owner within any extended Casualty Restoration Period, Tenant shall have the options to (a) further extend the Casualty Restoration Period for further successive periods of six (6) months, by notice given to Owner within ten (10) days after the expiration of any extended Casualty Restoration Period or (b) to give Owner, within ten (10) days after the expiration of any such extended Casualty Restoration Period a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease.

The term "Casualty Restoration Period" shall mean two (2) years after the date of such fire or other casualty.

B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the provisions of Subsection A of this Section 9.05, in the event (a) the Demised Premises or Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and Tenant shall be unable to use the Demised Premises as a result of such damage and (b) Owner shall not exercise the right to terminate this Lease in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01, and (c) Owner, in Owner's opinion, shall determine that the repair of such damage to the Demised Premises or Building will reasonably require a period longer than two (2) years, Owner may within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such fire or casualty, give a notice to Tenant extending the initial Casualty Restoration Period to the date upon which Owner estimates that such repair to the Demised Premises or Building shall be completed. In the event Owner shall give such a notice under this Subsection B, then, the initial Casualty Restoration Period set forth in Paragraph A of this Section 9.05, shall be so extended and (b) Tenant shall have the further option to give to Owner a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease within ten (10) days next following the giving of such notice under this Subsection B by Owner to Tenant extending the initial Casualty Restoration Period.

C. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving by Tenant to Owner of any notice in accordance with the provisions of Subsections A and B of this Section 9.05 and in the event that Tenant shall fail to give any such notice within the time periods set forth therein, Tenant shall be deemed to have given to Owner a notice pursuant to subdivision (ii) of Subsection A of this Section 9.05 extending the Casualty Restoration Period provided, however, that any five (5) days' notice of termination given by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Subsection A or B of this Section 9.05 beyond the ten (10) day period provided therein shall be void and of no force and effect.

D. In the event that Tenant shall give to Owner within the applicable time periods set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease, this Lease and the Demised Term shall come to an end and expire upon the expiration of said five (5) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said five (5) days were the Expiration Date, the Fixed Rent and all increases thereof shall be apportioned as of such date, and any prepaid portion of Fixed Rent and increases thereof for any period after such date shall be refunded by Owner to Tenant.

E. Nothing contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.05 shall be deemed to affect the rights of Owner to give to Tenant a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease in accordance with the provisions of Subdivision (i) of the last sentence of Section 9.01 and the provisions of Subdivision (ii) of the last sentence of Section 9.01.

Section 9.06. Damage at the End of the Demised Term: Owner agrees that in the event that the Demised Premises shall be rendered wholly untenantable by reason of total damage occurring in the Demised Premises during the last year of the Demised Term by fire or other casualty, then Tenant, at Tenant's option, and as Tenant's sole remedy with respect thereto, may give to Owner, within ten (10) days after the date of such damage a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease and in the event such notice is given in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this sentence, this Lease and the Demised Term shall come to any end and expire upon the expiration of said five (5) days as if such date of expiration were the Expiration Date, and the Fixed Rent shall be apportioned as of such date and any prepaid portion of Fixed Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Owner to Tenant.

ARTICLE 10

EMINENT DOMAIN

Section 10.01. Taking of the Demised Premises: If the whole of the Demised Premises shall be acquired for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, whether by condemnation or by deed in lieu of condemnation, this Lease and the Demised Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title with the same effect as if said date were the Expiration Date. If only a part of the Demised Premises shall be so acquired or condemned then, except as otherwise provided in this Section, this Lease and the Demised Term shall continue in force and effect but, from and after the date of the vesting of title, the Fixed Rent shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the part of the Demised Premises so acquired or condemned bears to the total area of the Demised Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation (except that with respect to any period(s) in which the Demised Premises shall be, or would have been, absent such acquisition or condemnation, comprised of spaces which are or would be then leased at different per square foot rental rates, then with respect to any such periods, the Fixed Rent shall be reduced equitably on the basis of the area of the Demised Premises so condemned and the Fixed Rent applicable thereto). If only a part of the Real Property shall be so acquired or condemned, then (i) whether or not the Demised Premises shall be affected thereby, Owner, at Owner's option, may give to Tenant, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Owner shall have received notice of vesting of title, a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease, and (ii) if the part of the Real Property so acquired or condemned shall contain more than ten (10%) percent of the total area of the Demised Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation, or if, by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Demised Premises, Tenant, at Tenant's option, may give to Owner, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Tenant shall have received notice of vesting of title, a five (5) days' notice of termination of this Lease. In the event any such five (5) days' notice of termination is given, by Owner or Tenant, this Lease and the Demised Term shall come to an end and expire upon the expiration of said five (5) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said five (5) days were the Expiration Date. If a part of the Demised Premises shall be so acquired or condemned and this Lease and the Demised Term shall not be terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section, Owner, at Owner's expense, shall restore that part of the Demised Premises not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained rental unit. In the event of any termination of this Lease and the Demised Term pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Fixed Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination and any prepaid portion of Fixed Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Owner to Tenant.

Section 10.02. Condemnation Award or Claims: In the event of any such acquisition or condemnation of all or any part of the Real Property, Owner shall be entitled to receive the entire award for any such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant shall have no claim against Owner or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Demised Term and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Owner all of its right in and to any such award. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a claim in any condemnation proceedings for the value of any items of Tenant's Personal Property which are compensable, in law, as trade fixtures, or provided that such claim is authorized by law and will not in any way diminish the award to which Owner would be entitled if no such claim were made, for Tenant's relocation and moving expenses.

ARTICLE 11

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Section 11.01. General Covenant: Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, covenants that, without the prior consent of Owner in each instance, it shall not (i) assign (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, except as otherwise provided herein), mortgage or encumber its interest in this Lease, in whole or in part, or (ii) sublet, or permit the subletting of, the Demised Premises or any part thereof, or (iii) permit the Demised Premises or any part thereof to be occupied, or used for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise, by any person other than Tenant. The sale, pledge, transfer or other alienation of (a) any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate Tenant (unless such stock is publicly traded on a recognized security exchange or over-the counter market) or (b) a controlling interest in any

partnership, limited liability company or joint venture or other business entity comprising Tenant, however accomplished, directly or indirectly and whether in a single transaction or in a series of related and/or unrelated transactions, shall be deemed for the purposes of this Section as an assignment of this Lease which shall require the prior consent of Owner in each instance. The term "controlling" shall have the same meaning as the term "control" as described in Section 11.06.

Section 11.02. Owner's Rights Upon Assignment: If Tenant's interest in this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Article, Owner may collect rent from the assignee; if the Demised Premises or any part thereof are sublet to, or occupied by, or used by, any person other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Article, Owner, after default by Tenant under this Lease, may collect rent from the subtenant, user or occupant. In either case, Owner shall apply the net amount collected to the rents reserved in this Lease, but neither any such assignment, subletting, occupancy, or use, whether with or without Owner's prior consent, nor any such collection or application, shall be deemed a waiver of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the acceptance by Owner of such assignee, subtenant, occupant or user as tenant. The consent by Owner to any assignment, subletting, occupancy or use shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to obtain the express prior consent of Owner to any further assignment, subletting, occupancy or use. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to any proceeding of the type referred to in Subsections 16.01(c) and 16.01(d), any and all monies or other consideration payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Owner, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Owner and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of any proceeding of the type referred to in Subsections 16.01(c) and 16.01(d). Any and all monies or other considerations constituting Owner's property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Owner shall be held in trust for the benefit of Owner and shall be promptly paid to or turned over to Owner. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to any proceeding of the type referred to in Subsections 16.01(c) and 16.01(d) shall be deemed without further act or deed to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall execute and deliver to Owner upon demand an instrument confirming such assumption. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on any door of the Demised Premises or on any directory or in any elevator in the Building, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest in the person so named any right or interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises, or the Building, or be deemed to constitute, or serve as a substitute for, any prior consent of Owner required under this Article, and it is understood that any such listing shall constitute a privilege extended by Owner which shall be revocable at Owner's will by notice to Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay to Owner reasonable counsel fees incurred by Owner in connection with any proposed assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease or any proposed subletting of the Demised Premises or any part thereof. Neither any assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease nor any subletting, occupancy or use of the Demised Premises or any part thereof by any person other than Tenant, nor any collection of rent by Owner from any person other than Tenant as provided in this Section, nor any application of any such rent as provided in this Section shall, in any circumstances, relieve Tenant of its obligation fully to observe and perform the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed.

Section 11.03. Sublet Rights: A. (1) As long as Tenant is not in default under (x) any of the non-monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed beyond the applicable notice and cure periods set forth in this Lease or (y) under the monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed, Owner agrees not to unreasonably withhold Owner's prior consent to a subletting by Tenant of the entire Demised Premises to one (1) subtenant for undivided occupancy by such subtenant, for the use expressly permitted in this Lease.

(2) Without Owner's prior consent, Tenant shall not (a) negotiate or enter into a proposed subletting with any tenant, subtenant or occupant of any space in the Building or (b) publicly list or otherwise publicly advertise the Demised Premises or any part thereof for subletting at a rental lower than the rental at which the Owner is then offering to rent comparable space in the Building.

(3) At least thirty (30) days prior to any proposed subletting, Tenant shall submit to Owner a statement (the "Proposed Sublet Statement") containing the name and address of the proposed subtenant, the nature of the proposed subtenant's business and its current financial status, if such status is obtained by Tenant, and all of the principal terms and conditions of the proposed subletting including, but not limited to, the proposed commencement and expiration dates of the term thereof.

(4) Owner may withhold consent to a proposed subletting if, (a) in Owner's reasonable judgment, the occupancy of the proposed subtenant will tend to impair the character or dignity of the Building or impose any additional material burden upon Owner in the operation of the Building, (b) the proposed subtenant shall be a person or entity with whom Owner is then negotiating or discussing to lease space in the Building, or (c) Owner shall have any other reasonable objection to such subletting.

(5) In the event of any dispute between Owner and Tenant as to the reasonableness of Owner's failure or refusal to consent to any subletting, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 36.

(6) Any Sublease consented to by Owner must conform to the information contained in the Proposed Sublet Statement and shall expressly provide that (a) the subtenant shall obtain the provisions in its insurance policies to the effect that such policies shall not be invalidated should the insured waive, in writing, prior to a loss, any or all right of recovery against any party for loss occasioned by fire or other casualty which is an insured risk under such policies, as set forth in Section 9.04, and (b) in the event of the termination, re-entry or dispossess of Tenant by Owner under this Lease, Owner may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under the sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Owner's option, attorn to Owner pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Owner shall not (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any offset which accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one month's rent unless such modification or prepayment was previously approved by Owner, (iv) be bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the premises, or any portion thereof, demised by such sublease and (v) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to or on behalf of the subtenant, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease to be performed after the date of such termination, re-entry or dispossess by Owner under this Lease and to which Owner is expressly required to perform under this Lease with respect to the subleased space at Owner's expense, it being expressly understood, however, that Owner shall not be bound by any obligation to make payment to or on behalf of a subtenant with respect to construction performed by or on behalf of such subtenant in the subleased premises. Tenant shall reimburse Owner on demand for any reasonable costs or expense that may be incurred by Owner's review of any Proposed Sublet Statement or in connection with any sublease consented to by Owner, including, without limitation, any reasonable processing fee, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements and the reasonable costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed subtenant.

B. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.03, Owner shall have the following rights with respect to each proposed subletting by Tenant:

(1) in the event Tenant proposes to sublet the Demised Premises, whether or not such subletting is for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Demised Term, Owner, at Owner's option, may give to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the submission by Tenant to Owner of the Proposed Sublet Statement, a notice terminating this Lease on the date (referred to as the "Earlier Termination Date") immediately prior to the proposed commencement date of the term of the proposed subletting, as set forth in the Proposed Sublet Statement, and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease and the Demised Term shall come to an end and expire on the Earlier Termination Date with the same effect as if it were the Expiration Date, the Fixed Rent shall be apportioned as of said Earlier Termination Date and any prepaid portion of Fixed Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Owner to Tenant; or

(2) In the event Tenant proposes to sublet the Demised Premises for less than substantially all of the remainder of the Demised Term, Owner, at Owner's option, may give to Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the submission by Tenant to Owner, of the Proposed Sublet Statement required to be submitted in connection with such proposed subletting, a notice electing to recapture the Demised Premises during

the period (referred to as the "Recapture Period") commencing on the date (referred to as "Recapture Date") immediately prior to the proposed commencement date of the term of the proposed subletting, as set forth in the Proposed Sublet Statement, and ending on the proposed expiration date of the term of the proposed subletting, as set forth in the Proposed Sublet Statement, and in the event such notice is given the following shall apply:

(a) The Demised Premises shall be recaptured by Owner during the Recapture Period;

(b) Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises to Owner on or prior to the Recapture Date in the same manner as if said Date were the Expiration Date;

(c) During the Recapture Period Tenant shall have no rights with respect to the Demised Premises nor any obligations with respect to the Demised Premises, including, but not limited to, any obligations to pay Fixed Rent or any increases therein or any additional rent, and any prepaid portion of Fixed Rent allocable to the Recapture Period shall be refunded by Owner to Tenant;

(d) There shall be an equitable apportionment of any increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to Article 23 for the Escalation Year and Tax Escalation Year (as defined in Article 23) in which said Recapture Date shall occur;

(e) Upon the expiration of the Recapture Period, the Demised Premises, in its then existing condition, shall be deemed restored to Tenant and Tenant shall have all rights with respect to the Demised Premises which are set forth in this Lease and all obligations with respect to the Demised Premises which are set forth in this Lease, including, but not limited to, the obligations for the payment of Fixed Rent and any increases therein and any additional rent (as they would have been adjusted if Tenant occupied the Demised Premises during the Recapture Period) during the period (referred to as the "Recapture Restoration Period") commencing on the date next following the expiration of the Recapture Period and ending on the Expiration Date, except in the event that Owner is unable to give Tenant possession of the Demised Premises at the expiration of the Recapture Period by reason of the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant or other occupant, in which event (x) the Recapture Restoration Period shall not commence and the Demised Premises shall not be deemed available for Tenant's occupancy and Tenant shall not be required to comply with the obligations of Tenant under this Lease until the date upon which Owner shall give Tenant possession of the Demised Premises free of occupancies, (y) neither the Expiration Date nor the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be affected thereby, and (z) Tenant waives any rights to rescind this Lease and to recover any damages which may result from the failure by Owner to deliver possession of the Demised Premises at the end of the Recapture Period; Owner agrees to institute, within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Recapture Period, possession proceedings against any tenants and occupants who have not so vacated and surrendered all or any portions of the Demised Premises and agrees to prosecute such proceedings with reasonable diligence; and

(f) There shall be an equitable apportionment of any increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to Article 23 for the Escalation Year and Tax Escalation Year in which the Recapture Restoration Period shall commence.

At the request of Owner, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments, in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner and Tenant, setting forth any modifications to this Lease contemplated in or resulting from the operation of the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 11.03; however, neither Owner's failure to request any such instrument nor Tenant's failure to execute or deliver any such instrument shall vitiate the effect of the foregoing

provisions of this Section. The failure by Owner to exercise any option under this Section 11.03 with respect to any subletting shall not be deemed a waiver of such option with respect to any extension of such subletting or any subsequent subletting of the premises affected thereby or any other portion of the Demised Premises, unless such extension is pursuant to a renewal option in a sublease that was approved by Owner. Tenant shall indemnify Owner from all loss, cost, liability, damage and expense, including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, arising from any claims against Owner by any broker or other person, for a brokerage commission or other similar compensation in connection with any such proposed subletting, in the event (a) Owner shall (i) fail or refuse to consent to any proposed subletting, or (ii) exercise any of its options under this Section 11.03, or (b) any proposed subletting shall fail to be consummated for any reason whatsoever.

C. Tenant agrees that (1) fifty percent (50%) of any Subletting Profit (as hereinafter defined), and (2) any consideration paid to Tenant or any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant in connection with an assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease or the interest of any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant under any sublease whether or not such assignment shall be effected with court approval in a proceeding of the types described in Subsection 16.01(c) or (d), or in any similar proceeding, or otherwise, shall accrue to the benefit of Owner and not to the benefit of Tenant, or of any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant, or of the creditors of Tenant or of any such subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that if Owner shall fail to exercise its option to sooner terminate this Lease or its option to recapture the Demised Premises in connection with any proposed subletting by Tenant, or if any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant shall sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall pay to Owner a sum equal to fifty percent (50%) of any Subletting Profit, as such term is hereinafter defined. All rentals and other sums (including, but not limited to, sums payable for the sale or rental of any fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property, less, in the case of the sale thereof, the then net unamortized [on a straight-line basis over the term of this Lease or, in the event of a further subletting, over the term of the initial sublease, as the case may be] cost thereof, which were provided and installed in the sublet premises at the sole cost and expense of Tenant or such subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant and for which no allowance or other credit has been given by Owner) actually paid by any subtenant to Tenant or to any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant in connection with any subletting in excess of the Fixed Rent then payable by Tenant to Owner under this Lease are referred to, in the aggregate, as "Subletting Profit"; in computing and paying any Subletting Profit there shall be first deducted from the sums paid in excess of the rentals payable under this Lease or such portion thereof, to the extent incurred by Tenant or any such subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant, one single reasonable brokerage commission (plus an override commission not to exceed one-half (¹/2) of a single reasonable brokerage commission), reasonable alteration costs to prepare the space being sublet for such subletting (but not such amounts expended on Tenant's initial Alterations to prepare the Demised Premises for Tenant's initial occupancy), work contributions actually granted to such subtenant, reasonable attorney's fees, and reasonable rent abatements granted to any subtenant. It is understood that if the free rent period granted subtenant is not a commercially reasonable free rent period, Tenant shall be deemed to have been paid, at the beginning of the term of the sublease, the amount by which the free rent amount granted shall exceed a commercially reasonable free rent amount. Owner and Tenant agree that if Tenant, or any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant, shall assign or have assigned its interest as Tenant under this Lease or its interest as subtenant under any sublease as the case may be, whether or not such assignment shall be effected with court approval in a proceeding of the types described in Subsections 16.01(c) or (d), or in any similar proceeding, or otherwise, Tenant shall pay to Owner a sum equal to any consideration paid to Tenant or any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant for such assignment. All sums payable hereunder to Tenant shall be paid to Owner as additional rent immediately upon such sums being paid to Tenant and, if requested by Owner, Tenant shall promptly enter into a written agreement with Owner setting forth the amount of such sums to be paid to Owner, however, neither Owner's failure to request the execution of such agreement nor Tenant's failure to execute such agreement shall vitiate the provisions of this Section. For the purposes of this Section, a trustee, receiver or other representative of the Tenant's or any subtenant's estate under any federal or state bankruptcy act shall be deemed a person claiming through or under Tenant.

D. Neither Owner's consent to any subletting nor anything contained in this Section shall be deemed to grant to any subtenant or other person claiming through or under Tenant the right to sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises or to permit the occupancy of all or any portion of the Demised Premises by others. Neither any subtenant referred to in this Section nor its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors nor assigns, without the prior consent of Owner in each instance, shall (i) assign, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, mortgage or encumber its interest in any sublease, in whole or in part, or (ii) sublet, or permit the subletting of, that part of the Demised Premises affected by such subletting or any portion thereof, or (iii) permit such part of the Demised Premises affected by such subletting or any part thereof to be occupied or used for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise, by any person other than such subtenant and any sublease shall provide that any violation of the foregoing provisions of this sentence shall be an event of default thereunder. The sale, pledge, transfer or other alienation of (a) any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate subtenant (unless such stock is publicly traded on any recognized security exchange or over-the-counter market) or (b) any interest in any partnership or joint venture subtenant, however accomplished, and whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions, shall be deemed for the purposes of this Section to be an assignment of such sublease which shall require the prior consent of Owner in each instance and any sublease shall so provide.

Section 11.04. Owner's Rights Upon Lease Disaffirmance: A. In the event that, at any time after Tenant may have assigned Tenant's interest in this Lease, this Lease shall be disaffirmed or rejected in any proceeding of the types described in Subsections 16.01(c) and (d), or in any similar proceeding, or in the event of termination of this Lease by reason of any such proceeding or by reason of lapse of time following notice of termination given pursuant to Section 16.01 based upon any of the Events of Default set forth in said Subsections, Tenant, upon request of Owner given within thirty (30) days next following any such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Owner in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of termination other than by act of Owner), shall (i) pay to Owner all Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges due and owing by the assignee to Owner under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (ii) as "tenant", enter into a new lease with Owner of the Demised Premises for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Expiration Date unless sooner terminated as in such lease provided, at the same Fixed Rent and then executory terms, covenants and conditions as are contained in this Lease, except that (a) Tenant's rights under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any person claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, and (b) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant with due diligence, and (c) such new lease shall require Tenant to pay all increases in the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have accrued under the provisions of Article 23 of this Lease after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. In the event Tenant shall default in its obligation to enter into said new lease for a period of ten (10) days next following Owner's request therefor, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of such default, either at law or in equity, Owner shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as if Tenant had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as at the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant's default thereunder. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to grant to Tenant any right to assign Tenant's interest in this Lease.

B. If Tenant assumes this Lease in any proceeding of the types described in Subsections 16.01(c) and (d), or in any similar proceeding and proposes to assign the same pursuant to said proceeding to any person or entity who shall have made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease on terms acceptable to the Tenant, then notice of such proposed assignment shall be given to Owner by Tenant no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by Tenant of such offer, but in any event no later than ten (10) days prior to the date that Tenant shall make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assignment and assumption. Such notice shall set forth (a) the name and address of such person, (b) all of the terms and conditions of such offer, and (c) adequate assurance of future performance by such person under the Lease, including, without limitation, the assurance referred to in Section 365(b)(3) of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any provisions in substitution thereof. Owner shall have the prior right and option, to be exercised by notice to Tenant given at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such person, less any brokerage commissions which would otherwise be payable by Tenant out of the consideration to be paid by such person in connection with the assignment of this Lease.

C. The term "adequate assurance of future performance" as used in this Lease shall mean that any proposed assignee shall, among other things, (a) deposit with Owner on the assumption of this Lease the sum of nine (9) months of the then Fixed Rent and increases therein pursuant to Article 23 as security for the faithful performance and observance by such assignee of the terms and obligations of this Lease, (b) furnish Owner with financial statements of such assignee for the prior three (3) fiscal years, as finally determined after an audit and certified as correct by a certified public accountant, which financial statements shall show a net worth of at least six (6) times the Fixed Rent and increases therein pursuant to Article 23 then payable for each of such three (3) years, (c) grant to Owner a security interest in such property of the proposed assigned as Owner shall deem necessary to provide adequate assurance of the performance by such assignee of its obligations under the Lease.

Section 11.05. Merger/Consolidation/ Asset Sale: As long as Tenant is not in default under (x) any of the non-monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed beyond the applicable notice and grace periods set forth in this Lease or (y) under any of the monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior consent of Owner, to assign Tenant's interest in this Lease to any person, corporation, partnership, or other business entity which is a successor of Tenant, either by (i) merger or consolidation or (ii) the purchase of all or substantially all of the (x) assets or stock, and (y) business and goodwill of Tenant, provided that said person, corporation, partnership or other business entity which shall be Tenant following such merger, consolidation or asset purchase or Tenant following the transfer of stock, as the case may be, (the "Proposed Assignee") shall have a tangible net worth, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied following the consummation of such transaction, at least equal to the greater of (x) that of Tenant named hereunder as of the date of this Lease and (y) that of Tenant immediately prior to such transaction (such required net worth, the "Required Net Worth") and provided further that such Proposed Assignee shall continue to operate the same business conducted by Tenant in the Demised Premises immediately prior to the transaction and the interest of Tenant in this Lease is not the sole or principal asset of Tenant and such assignment shall be for a bone fide business purpose and shall not be intended to circumvent the restrictions on assignment set forth in this Lease. At the time of said proposed assignment, Tenant shall deliver to Owner (i) the most recently compiled, reviewed or audited annual and quarterly financial statements of the Proposed Assignee, and (ii) a reasonably detailed statement of the financial condition of the aforesaid Proposed Assignee, certified by an executive officer or principal or partner of Tenant or the Proposed Assignee, which statement shall reflect the financial condition of the aforesaid Proposed Assignee at that time after taking into account the consummation of the assignment of this Lease and any other transactions related thereto. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section to the contrary, such assignment shall not be valid if the Proposed Assignee shall not have a tangible net worth following the consummation of such transaction at least equal to the Required Net Worth or the interest of Tenant in this Lease is the sole or principal asset of Tenant or such assignment is not made for a bona fide business purpose. Furthermore, no such assignment in connection with an asset sale shall be valid, unless, within ten (10) days after the execution thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Owner (I) a duplicate original instrument of assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner duly executed by Tenant, acknowledged before a notary public, in which Tenant shall (a) waive all notices of default given to the assignee and all other notices of every kind or description, now or hereafter provided in this Lease, by statute or by rule of law; (b) acknowledge that Tenant's obligations with respect to this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by (i) such assignment; (ii) any amendment or modification of this Lease (whether or not the obligations of Tenant are increased thereby, provided that, if the Proposed Assignee is not an affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant, then Tenant shall not be liable for such increased obligations); (iii) any further assignment or transfer of the tenant's interest in this Lease; (iv) any exercise, non- exercise or waiver by Owner of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or with respect to this Lease; (v) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other act or omission with respect to any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease; (vi) any act or thing which, but for the provisions of such assignment, might be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or assignor, to all of which Tenant shall consent in advance; it being the purpose and intent of Owner and Tenant that the obligations of Tenant hereunder as assignor shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances; and (II) an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner,

duly executed by the Proposed Assignee, acknowledged before a notary public, in which such Proposed Assignee shall assume observance and performance of, and agree to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed. In addition, no such assignment in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of stock or other equity interests in Tenant shall be valid unless within ten (10) business days after the consummation thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Owner (xx) a copy of the certificate of merger or consolidation which was filed in the relevant jurisdiction, in the event the assignment was in connection with a merger or consolidation, or (yy) a statement identifying the purchaser(s) of the stock or other equity interests in Tenant, in the event the assignment was in connection with a sale of the stock or other equity interests in Tenant. In the event of any dispute between Owner and Tenant as to the validity of any such assignment such dispute shall be determined by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the provisions of Section 36.01. Any such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties whether or not a judgment shall be entered in any court. If the determination of any such arbitration shall be adverse to Owner, Owner, nevertheless, shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant's sole remedy in such event shall be to have the proposed assignment deemed valid.

Section 11.06. Subsidiaries/Affiliates: A. As long as Tenant is not in default under (x) any of the non-monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed beyond the applicable notice and grace periods set forth in this Lease or (y) under any of the monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior consent of Owner, to assign its interest in this Lease, for the use permitted in this Lease, to any subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant, which is in the same business then conducted by Tenant or in a technology related line of business consistent with that of a tenant of first class office space in downtown Manhattan and only for such period as it shall remain a subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant and in such type of line of business. For the purposes of this Article: (a) a "subsidiary" of Tenant shall mean any corporation, partnership or other business entity not less than fifty-one (51%) percent of whose outstanding voting stock or other equity interest at the time shall be owned by Tenant, and (b) an "affiliate" of Tenant shall mean any corporation, partnership or other business entity which controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant. For the purpose of the definition of "affiliate" the word "control" (including, "controlled by" and "under common control with") as used with respect to any corporation, partnership or other business entity, shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such corporation, partnership or other business entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities or contract. No such assignment shall be valid or effective unless, within ten (10) days after the execution thereof, Tenant shall deliver to Owner all of the following: (I) a duplicate original instrument of assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to Owner, duly executed by Tenant, in which Tenant shall (a) waive all notices of default given to the assignee, and all other notices of every kind or description now or hereafter provided in this Lease, by statute or rule of law, and (b) acknowledge that Tenant's obligations with respect to this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by (i) such assignment, (ii) any amendment or modification of this Lease, whether or not the obligations of Tenant are increased thereby, (iii) any further assignment or transfer of Tenant's interest in this Lease, (iv) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver by Owner of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or with respect to this Lease, (v) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other act or omission with respect to any other obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (vi) any act or thing which, but for the provisions of such assignment, might be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or assignor, to all of which Tenant shall consent in advance, it being the purpose and intent of Owner and Tenant that the obligations of Tenant hereunder as assignor shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances, and (II) an instrument, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, duly executed by the assignee, in which such assignee shall assume the observance and performance of, and agree to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed.

B. As long as Tenant is not in default under (x) any of the non-monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed beyond the applicable notice and grace periods set forth in this Lease or (y) under any of the monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed, Tenant shall have the right, without the prior consent of Owner, to sublet to, or permit the use or occupancy of, all or any part of the Demised Premises by any subsidiary or affiliate (as said terms are defined in Subsection A above) of Tenant for the use permitted in this Lease provided that such subsidiary

or affiliate is in the same general line of business as the Tenant and only for such period as it shall remain a subsidiary or affiliate of, and in the same general line of business as, the Tenant. However, no such subletting shall be valid unless, prior to the execution thereof, Tenant shall give notice to Owner of the proposed subletting, and within ten (10) days prior the commencement of said subletting, Tenant shall deliver to Owner an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, duly executed by Tenant and said subtenant, in which said subtenant shall assume performance of and agree to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease which are applicable to said subtenant and such subletting. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Owner of any such use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises and such use or occupancy shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. No such use or occupancy shall operate to vest in the user or occupant any right or interest in this Lease or, except as a subtenant claiming through Tenant, with respect to the Demised Premises. For the purposes of determining the number of subtenants or occupants in the Demised Premises pursuant to Section 11.03, the occupancy of any such permitted subsidiary or affiliate of Tenant shall be deemed the occupancy of Tenant and such subsidiary or affiliate shall not be counted as a subtenant or occupant.

ARTICLE 12

EXISTING CONDITIONS/OWNER'S INITIAL WORK

Section 12.01. "As Is" but for Owner's Initial Work: Tenant acknowledges that Owner has made no representations to Tenant with respect to the condition of the Demised Premises and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Demised Premises in the condition which shall exist on the Commencement Date "as is" and further agrees that Owner shall have no obligation to perform any work or make any installations in order to prepare the Demised Premises for Tenant's occupancy except as otherwise provided in Section 12.02 to the contrary. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Owner shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in vacant, broom clean condition and with all Building systems in working order with Owner's Initial Work substantially complete in accordance with Section 12.02.

Section 12.02. Owner's Initial Work:

A. Owner shall cause the following work to be done in the Demised Premises (referred to herein as "Owner's Initial Work"):

2. Relamp any burned out light fixtures in the Demised Premises;

3. Replace any missing radiators or radiator covers;

4. Furnish and install any missing Building standard window blinds;

5. Paint the painted surfaces in the entire Demised Premises with a single coat of paint, in flat finish, in colors previously selected by Tenant from Building standard colors (but not more than one (1) color in any room or area); and

6. Carpet the Demised Premises, other than the so-called demolition room referred to in Exhibit 3 as the "demo room", with Building standard carpet in a single color previously selected by Tenant from Building standard colors.

B. Owner's Initial Work required to be performed and made by Owner pursuant to the provisions of this Section 12.02 shall be equal to standards adopted by Owner for the Building and shall constitute a single, non-recurring obligation on the part of Owner. Owner's Initial Work shall be commenced reasonably promptly after the execution and delivery of this Lease, performed with reasonable diligence without any obligation, however, to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates and shall be substantially completed on or before the Commencement Date as determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.02. In the event this Lease is renewed or extended for a further term by agreement or operation of law, Owner's obligation to perform such work shall not apply to such renewal or extension.

C. Owner may enter the Demised Premises to perform unfinished details of the foregoing work and installations, and entry by Owner, its agents, servants, employees or contractors for such purpose shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner, or its agents, by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to, or interruption of Tenant's business or otherwise. Owner agrees, however, to perform said work with reasonable diligence without any obligation, however, to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates.

D. Tenant shall have the right to have Owner perform a walk-through with Tenant on or about the Commencement Date (but not after Tenant shall have commenced work in the Demised Premises), to determine whether there are any "punch list" items remaining, and Owner shall reasonably promptly cause such "punch list" items to be completed.

ARTICLE 13

The lessors under any Superior Lease and the holders of any Mortgage shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises from time to time through their respective employees, agents, representatives and architects to inspect the same or to cure any default of Owner or Tenant relating thereto. Owner shall have the right, from time to time, to change the name, number or designation by which the Building is commonly known which right shall include, without limitation, the right to name the Building after any tenant of the Building.

Section 13.02. Owner's Reservation of Rights to Portions of the Building: All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Demised Premises) of all walls, windows and doors bounding the Demised Premises (including exterior Building walls, core corridor walls, doors and entrances), all balconies, terraces and roofs adjacent to the Demised Premises, all space in or adjacent to the Demised Premises used for shafts, stacks,

stairways, chutes, pipes, conduits, ducts, fan rooms, heating, air conditioning, ventilating, plumbing, electrical, telecommunication and other mechanical facilities, closets, service closets and other Building facilities, and the use thereof, as well as access thereto through the Demised Premises for the purposes of operation, maintenance, alteration and repair, are hereby reserved to Owner. Owner also reserves the right at any time to change the arrangement or location of entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets and other public parts of the Building, provided any such change does not permanently and unreasonably obstruct Tenant's access to the Demised Premises. Nothing contained in this Article shall impose any additional obligation upon Owner with respect to the operation, maintenance, alteration or repair of the Demised Premises or the Building.

Section 13.03. Access to Third Parties: Owner and its agents shall have the right to permit access to the Demised Premises, whether or not Tenant shall be present, to any receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, sheriff, marshal or court officer entitled to, or reasonably purporting to be entitled to, such access for the purpose of taking possession of, or removing, any property of Tenant or any other occupant of the Demised Premises, or for any other lawful purpose, or by any representative of the fire, police, building, sanitation or other department of the City, State or Federal Governments. Neither anything contained in this Section, nor any action taken by Owner under this Section, shall be deemed to constitute recognition by Owner that any person other than Tenant has any right or interest in this Lease or the Demised Premises.

Section 13.04. No Actual or Constructive Eviction: The exercise by Owner or its agents or by the lessor under any Superior Lease or by the holder of any Mortgage of any right reserved to Owner in this Article shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner, or its agents, or upon any lessor under any Superior Lease or upon the holder of any Mortgage, by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise.

ARTICLE 14

VAULT SPACE

Section 14.01. The Demised Premises do not contain any vaults, vault space or other space outside the boundaries of the Real Property, notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease or indicated on any sketch, blueprint or plan. Owner makes no representation as to the location of the boundaries of the Real Property. All vaults and vault space and all other space outside the boundaries of the Real Property which Tenant may be permitted to use or occupy are to be used or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license shall be revoked, or if the amount of such space shall be diminished or required by any Federal, State or Municipal Authority or by any public utility company, such revocation, diminution or requisition shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner. Any fee, tax or charge imposed by any governmental authority for any such vault, vault space or other space shall be paid by Tenant.

However, neither such agreement, nor any other provision of this Lease, nor any act or omission of Owner, its agents or contractors, shall be deemed to constitute a representation or warranty that the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, may be lawfully used or occupied for any particular purpose or in any particular manner, in contradistinction to mere "office" use.

ARTICLE 16

DEFAULT

Section 16.01. Events of Default: Upon the occurrence, at any time prior to or during the Demised Term, of any one or more of the following events (referred to herein, singly, as an "Event of Default" and collectively as "Events of Default"):

(b) if Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed (other than the covenants for the payment of Fixed Rent, any increase in the Fixed Rent and additional rent) and Tenant shall fail to remedy such default within thirty (30) days after notice by Owner to Tenant of such default, or if such default is of such a nature that it cannot be completely remedied within said period of thirty (30) days and Tenant shall not commence, promptly after receipt of such notice, or shall not thereafter diligently prosecute to completion, all steps necessary to remedy such default; or

(c) if Tenant shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or any future federal bankruptcy act or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any part of Tenant's property; or

(e) if Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or condition on Tenant's part to be observed or performed under any other lease with Owner of

space in the Building or under any other lease of space in a Rudin Building (as defined in Section 31.01), and such default shall continue beyond any grace period set forth in such other lease for the remedying of such default; or

(f) if the Demised Premises shall become abandoned; or

(g) if (i) Tenant's interest in this Lease shall devolve upon or pass to any person, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or (ii) there shall be any sale, pledge, transfer or other alienation described in Section 11.01 of this Lease which is deemed an assignment of this Lease for purposes of said Section 11.01, except as expressly permitted under Article 11; or

Section 16.02. "Tenant"/Moneys Received: If, at any time (i) Tenant shall be comprised of two (2) or more persons, or (ii) Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall have been guaranteed by any person other than Tenant, or (iii) Tenant's interest in this Lease shall have been assigned, the word "Tenant", as used in Subsections (c) and (d) of Section 16.01, shall be deemed to mean any one or more of the persons primarily or secondarily liable for Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Any monies received by Owner from or on behalf of Tenant during the pendency of any proceeding of the types referred to in said Subsections (c) and (d) shall be deemed paid as compensation for the use and occupation of the Demised Premises and the acceptance of any such compensation by Owner shall not be deemed an acceptance of rent or a waiver on the part of Owner of any rights under Section 16.01.

ARTICLE 17

REMEDIES

Section 17.01. Owner's Right of Re-Entry and Right to Relet: If Tenant shall default beyond applicable notice and cure periods as specifically provided in Section 16.01, or if this Lease and the Demised Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 16:

(a) Owner and its agents and servants may immediately, or at any time after such default or after the date upon which this Lease and the Demised Term shall expire and come to an end, re-enter the Demised Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings or by any other applicable action or proceeding, or by force or otherwise (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), and may repossess the Demised Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons from the Demised Premises and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Demised Premises; and

(b) Owner, at Owner's option, may relet the whole or any part or parts of the Demised Premises, from time to time, either in the name of Owner or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental or rentals and upon such other conditions, which may include concessions and free rent periods, as Owner, in its sole discretion, may determine. Owner shall have no obligation to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure to relet the

Demised Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting, and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise to affect any such liability; Owner, at Owner's option, may make such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions, improvements, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Demised Premises as Owner, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability.

Section 17.02. Waiver of Right to Redeem, etc.: Subject to the last sentence of this Section 17.02, Tenant hereby waives the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end which may otherwise be required to be given under any present or future law. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does further hereby waive any and all rights which Tenant and all such persons might otherwise have under any present or future law to redeem the Demised Premises, or to re-enter or repossess the Demised Premises, or to restore the operation of this Lease, after (i) Tenant shall have been dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, or (ii) any re-entry by Owner, or (iii) any expiration or termination of this Lease and the Demised Term, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination shall be by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The words "re-enter", "re-entry" and "re-entered" as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any persons claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed, Owner shall have the right to enjoin such breach and the right to invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for such breach. The right to invoke the remedies hereinbefore set forth in this Lease is cumulative and shall not preclude Owner from invoking any other remedy allowed by law or in equity. Owner agrees that the first sentence of this Section 17.02 shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant's right to be served with any notice of petition and petition in any summary proceedings under the provisions of the Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law of the State of New York and any successor law of like import then in force.

ARTICLE 18

DAMAGES

Section 18.01. Amount of Owner's Damages: If this Lease and the Demised Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 16, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, or if Owner shall re-enter the Demised Premises as provided in Article 17, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, then, in any of said events:

(a) Tenant shall pay to Owner all Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges payable under this Lease by Tenant to Owner to the date upon which this Lease and the Demised Term shall have expired and come to an end or to the date of re-entry upon the Demised Premises by Owner, as the case may be; and

(b) Tenant shall also be liable for and shall pay to Owner, as damages, any deficiency (referred to as a "Deficiency") between the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Demised Term and the net amount, if any, of rents collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 17.01 for any part of such period (first deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting all of Owner's expenses in connection with the termination of this Lease or Owner's re-entry upon the Demised Premises and with such reletting including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, alteration costs and other expenses of preparing the Demised Premises for such reletting). Any such Deficiency

shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent, Owner shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly Deficiency as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month shall prejudice Owner's right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Solely for the purposes of this Subsection (b), the term "Fixed Rent" shall mean the Fixed Rent in effect immediately prior to the date upon which this Lease and the Demised Term shall have expired and come to an end, or the date of re-entry upon the Demised Premises by Owner, as the case may be, adjusted, from time to time, to reflect any increases which would have been payable pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease including, but not limited to, the provisions of Article 23 of this Lease if the term hereof had not been terminated; and

(c) At any time after the Demised Term shall have expired and come to an end or Owner shall have re-entered upon the Demised Premises, as the case may be, whether or not Owner shall have collected any monthly Deficiencies as aforesaid, Owner shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Owner, on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Demised Term exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period, both discounted to present worth at the Prime Rate per annum. If, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, shall have been relet by Owner for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Demised Term, or any part thereof, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed, prima facie, to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Demised Premises so relet during the term of the reletting. Solely for the purposes of this Subsection (c), the term "Fixed Rent" shall mean the Fixed Rent in effect immediately prior to the date upon which this Lease and the Demised Term shall have expired and come to an end, or the date of re-entry upon the Demised Premises by Owner, as the case may be, adjusted to reflect any increases pursuant to the provisions of Article 23 for the Escalation Year and Tax Escalation Year immediately preceding such event.

Section 18.02.

Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not such rents shall exceed the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease. Nothing contained in Articles 16, 17 or this Article shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Owner from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any statute or rule of law, or of any sums or damages to which Owner may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in Section 18.01.

Such policy shall initially have limits of liability of not less than Three Million and 00/100 ($3,000,000.00) Dollars combined single limit coverage on a per occurrence basis, including property damage. Owner may from time to time require such amount be increased provided such increased amounts required are commercially reasonable for similar sized premises in first-class office buildings in downtown Manhattan.

ARTICLE 23

ESCALATION

Section 23.01. Definitions: In the determination of any increase in the Fixed Rent under the provisions of this Article, Owner and Tenant agree that the following terms shall have the following meanings:

A. The term "Tax Escalation Year" shall mean each fiscal year commencing July 1st and ending on the following June 30th which shall include any part of the Demised Term.

B. Intentionally Omitted.

C. The term "Taxes" shall be deemed to mean a sum equal to the aggregate of: (i) the product determined by multiplying (a) the then applicable full New York City real estate tax rate in effect with respect to the Borough of Manhattan by (b) the then applicable assessed valuation of the Real Property plus (ii) amounts assessed by any business improvement district in which the Real Property is located plus (iii) any other assessments, special or otherwise, upon or with respect to the Real Property imposed by the City or County of New York or any other taxing authority. Except as set forth in the sentence immediately following, Taxes shall not be deemed to include (x) any taxes on Owner's income or franchise taxes imposed on Owner and (y) any gift, successor, estate, inheritance or transfer taxes. If, due to any change in the method of taxation, any franchise, income, profit, sales, rental, use and occupancy or other tax or payments in lieu of any such taxes shall be substituted for, or levied against Owner or any owner of the Building or the Real Property, in lieu of any real estate taxes or assessments upon or with respect to the Real Property, such tax or payments in lieu of any such taxes shall be included in the term Taxes for the purposes of this Article.

D. The term "Owner's Basic Tax Liability" shall mean a sum equal to Taxes payable for the fiscal tax year beginning on July 1, 2007 and ending on June 30, 2008.

E. The term "Demised Premises Area" shall mean 4,749 square feet.

J. The term "Owner's Tax Statement" shall mean an instrument containing a computation of any increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to the provisions of Section 23.02 A. of this Article.

Section 23.02. Taxes: A. If Taxes payable in any Tax Escalation Year shall be in such amount as shall constitute an increase above Owner's Basic Tax Liability, the Fixed Rent for such Tax Escalation Year shall be increased by a sum equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of any such increase in Taxes.

B. Unless the first date with respect to which Tenant shall be responsible for a payment on account of increases in Taxes shall occur on a July 1st, any increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to the provisions of Subsection A of this Section 23.02 for the Tax Escalation Year in which such date shall occur shall be apportioned in that percentage which the number of days in the period from such date to June 30th of such Tax Escalation Year, both inclusive, bears to the total number of days in such Tax Escalation Year. Unless the Demised Term shall expire on a June 30th, any increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to the provisions of said Subsection A for the Tax Escalation Year in which the date of the expiration of the Demised Term shall occur shall be apportioned in that percentage which the number of days in the period from July 1st of such Tax Escalation Year to such date of expiration, both inclusive, bears to the total number of days in such Tax Escalation Year.

Section 23.03. Calculation and Payment of Taxes: A. Owner shall render to Tenant, either in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 or by regular mail to the same address as Fixed Rent bills are sent by Owner, an Owner's Tax Statement with respect to each Tax Escalation Year, either prior to or during such

Tax Escalation Year. Owner's failure to render an Owner's Tax Statement with respect to any Tax Escalation Year shall not prejudice Owner's right to recover any sums due to Owner hereunder with respect to such Tax Escalation Year, nor shall it deprive Tenant of any credit to which it otherwise might be entitled with respect to such Tax Escalation Year pursuant to the provisions of Subsection D of this Section 23.03. The obligations of Owner and Tenant under the provisions of Section 23.02 and this Section 23.03 with respect to any increase in the Fixed Rent or any credit to which Tenant may be entitled shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Demised Term. Within thirty (30) days next following rendition of the first Owner's Tax Statement which shows an increase in the Fixed Rent for any Tax Escalation Year, Tenant shall pay to Owner one half (¹/2) of the amount of the increase shown upon such Owner's Tax Statement for such Tax Escalation Year. In order to provide for current payments on account of (i) the next installment of Taxes payable by Owner for such Tax Escalation Year, if any, and (ii) future potential increases in the Fixed Rent which may be payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Subsection A of Section 23.02 for future Tax Escalation Years, Tenant shall (a) pay to Owner, on the first day of the calendar month next following the rendition of such Owner's Tax Statement, a sum equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the increase in the Fixed Rent shown upon such Owner's Tax Statement for such Tax Escalation Year (before any apportionment pursuant to the provisions of Subsection B of Section 23.02) multiplied by the number of months which may have elapsed between either (x) July 1st of such Tax Escalation Year if such Owner's Tax Statement is rendered between July 1st and December 31st of such Tax Escalation Year and the month in which such payment is made or (y) January 1st of such Tax Escalation Year if such Owner's Tax Statement is rendered between January 1st and June 30th of such Tax Escalation Year and the month in which such payment is made, and (b) thereafter pay to Owner on the first day of each month of the Demised Term (until rendition by Owner of a new Owner's Tax Statement) a sum equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the increase in the Fixed Rent payable pursuant to the provisions of Subsection A of Section 23.02 for the Tax Escalation Year with respect to which Owner has most recently rendered an Owner's Tax Statement (before any apportionment pursuant to the provisions of Subsection B of Section 23.02); each such monthly installment shall be added to and payable as part of each monthly installment of Fixed Rent.

B. Following rendition of each subsequent Owner's Tax Statement a reconciliation shall be made as follows: Tenant shall be debited with any increase in the Fixed Rent shown upon such Owner's Tax Statement and credited with the aggregate amount, if any, paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Subsection A of this Section which has not previously been credited against increases in the Fixed Rent shown upon Owner's Tax Statements. Tenant shall pay any net debit balance to Owner within thirty (30) days next following rendition by Owner, either in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 or by regular mail to the same address as Fixed Rent bills are sent by Owner, of an invoice for such net debit balance; any net credit balance shall be applied as an adjustment against the next accruing monthly installment of Fixed Rent, or if no further installment is due hereunder, such net credit balance shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days of such determination.

C. Tenant acknowledges that under the present law Taxes are payable by Owner (i) with respect to a fiscal year commencing July 1st and ending on the following June 30th and (ii) in two (2) installments, in advance, the first of which is payable on July 1st and the second and final payment of which is payable on the following January 1st. Tenant further acknowledges that it is the purpose and intent of this Section 23.03 to provide Owner with Tenant's Proportionate Share of the increase in Taxes pursuant to the provisions of Subsection A of Section 23.02 at or about the time such installment of Taxes is required to be paid by Owner without penalty or interest. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that if the number of such installments, and/or the time for payment thereof, and/or the fiscal year used for purposes of Taxes, is changed, then, (a) prior to the time that any such revised installment is payable by Owner, Tenant shall pay to Owner the amount which shall provide Owner with Tenant's Proportionate Share of the increase in Taxes pursuant to the provisions of Subsection 23.02.A applicable to the revised installment of Taxes then required to be paid by Owner and (b) this Article shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change and the time for payment by Tenant to Owner of Tenant's Proportionate Share of any increase in Taxes as provided in this Article shall be appropriately revised so that Owner shall always be provided with Tenant's Proportionate Share of the increase in Taxes prior to the installment of Taxes required to be paid by Owner.

D. If, as a result of any application or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Owner, Owner's Basic Tax Liability shall be decreased, Owner's Tax Statement next following such decrease shall include any adjustment of the Fixed Rent for all prior Tax Escalation Years reflecting a debit to Tenant equal to the amount by which (a) the aggregate Fixed Rent payable with respect to all such prior Tax Escalation Years (as increased pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Subsection A of Section 23.02) based upon such reduction of Owner's Basic Tax Liability shall exceed (b) the aggregate Fixed Rent actually paid by Tenant with respect to all such prior Tax Escalation Years. If, as a result of any application or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Owner for reduction of the assessed valuation of the Real Property for any fiscal tax year subsequent to the fiscal tax year commencing July 1st, 2007, and expiring June 30th, 2008, there shall be a decrease in Taxes for any Tax Escalation Year with respect to which Owner shall have previously rendered an Owner's Tax Statement, Owner's Tax Statement next following such decrease shall include an adjustment of the Fixed Rent for such Tax Escalation Year reflecting a credit to Tenant equal to the amount by which (i) the Fixed Rent actually paid by Tenant with respect to such Tax Escalation Year (as increased pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Subsection A of Section 23.02), shall exceed (ii) the Fixed Rent payable with respect to such Tax Escalation Year (as increased pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Subsection A of Section 23.02) based upon such reduction of the assessed valuation. Tenant shall not bring or cause to be brought any application or proceeding for reduction of the assessed valuation of the Real Property. Tenant shall pay to Owner within thirty (30) days after demand, as additional rent under this Lease, a sum equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, counsel fees, paid or incurred by Owner in connection with any application or proceeding brought for reduction of the assessed valuation of the Real Property or any other contest of Taxes upon the Real Property for any Tax Escalation Year, whether or not such application, proceeding or other contest was commenced and/or settled and/or determined prior to the Tax Escalation Year in question.

Section 23.04. Payments in Lieu of Operating Expenses: A. For the purposes of this Article, the term "Escalation Year" shall mean the period from Commencement Date to and including the last day of the calendar month in which the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the Commencement Date shall occur and each succeeding period of twelve (12) months thereafter. For the second (2^nd) and each succeeding Escalation Year, Tenant shall pay to Owner, as additional rent, and in addition to any other sums payable pursuant to this Lease, an annual amount obtained by use of the following formula:

(X) multiplying (x) the sum of (i) the Fixed Rent set forth in Section 1.03 for the Escalation Year immediately preceding the applicable Escalation Year (subject to clause (Z) below, and as the same may be increased by virtue of Tenant leasing additional space and as the same may be adjusted pursuant to any of the terms and conditions of the Lease, including without limitation any option to renew the Lease, if any) plus (ii) the total amount owing in the previous Escalation Year pursuant to this Section 23.04 by (y) one hundred two and one-half percent (102.5%) and then

(Y) subtracting from such product the Fixed Rent set forth in Section 1.03 (as the same may be increased or adjusted as aforesaid, and which Fixed Rent shall be equal to the same Fixed Rent amount referred to in clause (x) (i) above), with it understood that

(Z) the amount of the Fixed Rent used in the foresaid formula shall not include the portion thereof attributable to the Electrical Inclusion Factor or increases in Taxes; provided however that solely for purposes of determining the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 23.04, the Fixed Rent with respect to the first Escalation Year shall be deemed to be equal to the Fixed Rent per annum payable for the Second Rent Period.

The sum to be paid by Tenant to Owner pursuant to this Subsection A of Section 23.04, from time to time, is referred to as the "Additional Escalation Payment(s)".

B. The parties agree that with respect to the leasing of the Demised Premises as initially constituted in this Lease for the original Demised Term set forth herein, the Additional Escalation Payment(s) during the original Demised Term which Tenant shall make pursuant to Subsection A above are equal to the amounts set forth below opposite the applicable period of time so listed:


Escalation Year	Amount Per Annum		Amount Per Month
2^nd	$	4,867.73	$	405.64
3^rd	$	9,857.15	$	821.43
4^th	$	14,971.30	$	1,247.61
5^th	$	20,213.31	$	1,684.44
6^th	$	25,586.37	$	2,132.20

C. Unless the Demised Term shall expire on the last day of a calendar month, the Additional Escalation Payment for such calendar month in which the Demised Term shall expire shall be apportioned in that percentage which the number of days in the period from the commencement of such calendar month to such date of expiration, both inclusive, bears to the total number of days in such calendar month.

D. The Additional Escalation Payments payable pursuant to the provisions of Subsection A of this Section 23.04, shall be payable in equal monthly installments in advance, as additional rent, together with the payment of the monthly installments of Fixed Rent, beginning with the first day of the first month of the applicable Escalation Year and the obligations of Tenant therefor shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Demised Term.

Section 23.05. Collection of Increases in Fixed Rent: The obligations of Owner and Tenant under the provisions of this Article with respect to any increase in the Fixed Rent, or any credit to which Tenant may be entitled, shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Demised Term. All sums payable by Tenant under this Article shall be collectible by Owner in the same manner as Fixed Rent.

ARTICLE 24

NO WAIVER

Section 24.01. Owner's Termination Not Prevented: Neither any option granted to Tenant in this Lease or in any collateral instrument to renew or extend the Demised Term, nor the exercise of any such option by Tenant, shall prevent Owner from exercising any option or right granted or reserved to Owner in this Lease or in any collateral instrument or which Owner may have by virtue of any law, to terminate this Lease and the Demised Term or any renewal or extension of the Demised Term either during the original Demised Term or during the renewed or extended term. Any termination of this Lease and the Demised Term shall serve to terminate any such renewal or extension of the Demised Term and any right of Tenant to any such renewal or extension, whether or not Tenant shall have exercised any such option to renew or extend the Demised Term. Any such option or right on the part of Owner to terminate this Lease shall continue during any extension or renewal of the Demised Term. No option granted to Tenant to renew or extend the Demised Term shall be deemed to give Tenant any further option to renew or extend.

Section 24.02. No Termination by Tenant/No Waiver: No act or thing done by Owner or Owner's agents during the Demised Term shall constitute a valid acceptance of a surrender of the Demised Premises or any remaining portion of the Demised Term except a written instrument accepting such surrender, executed by Owner. No employee of Owner or of Owner's agents shall have any authority to accept the keys of the Demised Premises prior to the termination of this Lease and the Demised Term, and the delivery of such keys to any such employee shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Demised Premises; however, if Tenant desires to have Owner sublet the Demised Premises for Tenant's account, Owner or Owner's agents are authorized to receive said keys for such purposes without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby relieves Owner of any liability for loss of, or damage to, any of Tenant's property or other effects in connection with such subletting. The failure by Owner to seek redress for breach or violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed

or performed, shall not prevent a subsequent act or omission which would have originally constituted a breach or violation of any such term, covenant or condition from having all the force and effect of an original breach or violation. The receipt by Owner of rent with knowledge of the breach or violation by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach or violation. Owner's failure to enforce any Building Rule against Tenant or against any other tenant or occupant of the Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Building Rule. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Owner unless such waiver shall be set forth in a written instrument executed by Owner. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Owner of a lesser amount than the aggregate of all Fixed Rent and additional rent then due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the first accruing of all such items of Fixed Rent and additional rent then due, no endorsement or statement on any check and no letter accompanying any check or other rent payment in any such lesser amount and no acceptance of any such check or other such payment by Owner shall constitute an accord and satisfaction, and Owner may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Owner's right to recover the balance of such rent or to pursue any other legal remedy.

ARTICLE 25

MUTUAL WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY

Section 25.01. Owner and Tenant hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by Owner or Tenant against the other on any matter whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of landlord and tenant, the use or occupancy of the Demised Premises by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant, any claim of injury or damage, and any emergency or other statutory remedy; however, the foregoing waiver shall not apply to any action for personal injury or property damage. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Demised Term. If Owner commences any summary proceeding, or any other proceeding of like import, Tenant agrees: (i) not to interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such summary proceeding, or any other proceeding of like import, unless failure to interpose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting such claim in a separate action or proceeding; and (ii) not to seek to remove to another court or jurisdiction or consolidate any such summary proceeding, or other proceeding of like import, with any action or proceeding which may have been, or will be, brought by Tenant. In the event that Tenant shall breach any of its obligations set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant agrees (a) to pay all of Owner's attorneys' fees and disbursements in connection with Owner's enforcement of such obligations of Tenant and (b) in all events, to pay all accrued, present and, when due, future Fixed Rent and increases therein and additional rent payable pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

Section 25.02. A. Tenant hereby submits itself to the jurisdiction of the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or under this Lease, and Tenant agrees that this Lease shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York which shall apply in any such action or proceeding.

B. All judicial actions, suits or proceedings brought against Tenant with respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Lease or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such proceedings may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the City of New York. By execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant accepts, generally and unconditionally, the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and irrevocably agrees to be bound by any final judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Lease from which no appeal has been taken or is available. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in any such jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall limit the right of Owner to bring any action, suit or proceeding against Tenant in any other court of competent jurisdiction. Tenant acknowledges that final judgment against it in any action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Article shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction, by suit on the judgment, a certified or exemplified copy of which shall be conclusive evidence of the fact and of the amount of any such judgment against Tenant.

ARTICLE 28

PARTNERSHIP TENANT

Section 28.01. If Tenant is a partnership or professional corporation or limited liability company (or is comprised of two (2) or more persons, individually and as co-partners of a partnership or shareholders of a professional corporation or members of a limited liability company) or if Tenant's interest in this Lease shall be assigned to a partnership or professional corporation or limited liability company (or to two (2) or more persons, individually and as co-partners of a partnership or shareholders of a professional corporation or members of a limited liability company) pursuant to Article 11 (any such partnership, professional corporation, limited liability company and such persons are referred to in this Section as "Partnership Tenant"), the following provisions of this Section shall apply to such Partnership Tenant: (i) the liability of each of the persons comprising Partnership Tenant shall be joint and several, individually and as a partner or shareholder or member, with respect to all obligations of the Tenant under this Lease whether or not such obligations arose prior to, during, or after any period when any party comprising Partnership Tenant was a member or shareholder of Partnership Tenant, and (ii) each of the persons comprising Partnership Tenant, whether or not such person shall be one of the persons comprising Tenant at the time in question, hereby consents in advance to, and agrees to be bound by, any written instrument which may hereafter be executed, changing, modifying or discharging this Lease, in whole or in part, or surrendering all or any part of the Demised Premises to Owner, and by any notices, demands, requests or other communications which may hereafter be given by Partnership Tenant or by any of the persons comprising Partnership Tenant, and (iii) any bills, statements, notices, demands, requests or other communications given or rendered to Partnership Tenant or to any of the persons comprising Partnership Tenant shall be deemed given or rendered to Partnership Tenant and to all such persons and shall be binding upon Partnership Tenant and all such persons, and (iv) if Partnership Tenant shall admit new partners or shareholders or members, all of such new partners or shareholders or members, as the case may be, shall, by their admission to Partnership Tenant, be deemed to have assumed performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, and shall be liable for such performance, together with all other parties, jointly or severally, individually and as a partner or shareholder or member, whether or not the obligation to comply with such terms, covenants or conditions arose prior to, during or after any period when any party comprising Partnership Tenant was a partner, member or shareholder of Partnership Tenant and (v) Partnership Tenant shall give prompt notice to Owner of the admission of any such new partners, or shareholders, or members, as the case may be, and, upon demand of Owner, shall cause each such new partner or shareholder or member to execute and deliver to Owner an agreement, in form satisfactory to Owner, wherein each such new partner or shareholder or member shall so assume performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed whether or not the obligation to comply with such terms, covenants or conditions arose prior to, during or after any period when any party comprising Partnership Tenant was a member or shareholder of Partnership Tenant (but neither Owner's failure to request any such agreement nor the failure of any such new partner, shareholder or member to execute or deliver any such agreement to Owner shall vitiate the provisions of subdivision (iv) or any other provision of this Section).

ARTICLE 29

UTILITIES AND SERVICES

Section 29.01. Elevators: Owner, at Owner's expense, shall furnish necessary passenger elevator facilities on business days (as defined in Section 31.01) from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and on Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. and shall have a passenger elevator subject to call at all other times. Tenant shall be entitled to the non-exclusive use of the freight elevator in common with other tenants and occupants of the Building from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. on business days, subject to such reasonable rules as Owner may adopt for the use of the freight elevator. At any time or times all or any of the elevators in the Building may, at Owner's option, be automatic elevators, and Owner shall not be required to furnish any operator service for automatic elevators. If Owner shall, at any time, elect to furnish operator service for any automatic elevators, Owner shall have the right to discontinue furnishing such service with the same effect as if Owner had never elected to furnish such service.

Section 29.02. Heat: Owner, at Owner's expense, shall furnish heat to the Demised Premises, as and when required by law, on business days from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and on Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. Tenant may be provided with heat on an overtime basis as set forth in Section 29.07.

Section 29.03. Air Conditioning and Ventilation: Owner, at Owner's expense, shall furnish and distribute to the Demised Premises (i) conditioned air at reasonable temperatures, pressures and degrees of humidity and in reasonable volumes and velocities, on business days from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and on Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M., when required for the comfortable occupancy of the Demised Premises during the months of April, May, June, July, August, September, October and the period from November 1^st to November 15^th; and (ii) except when conditioned air or heat is being furnished, mechanical ventilation only through the Building air conditioning system on business days from 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and on Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. throughout the year. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Owner shall not be responsible if the normal operation of the Building air conditioning system shall fail to provide conditioned air at reasonable temperatures, pressures or degrees of humidity or in reasonable volumes or velocities in any portions of the Demised Premises (a) which, by reason of any machinery or equipment installed by or on behalf of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant, shall have an electrical load in excess of four (4) watts per square foot of usable area for all purposes (including lighting and power), or which shall have a human occupancy factor in excess of one person per 100 square feet of usable area (the average electrical load and human occupancy factors for which the Building air conditioning system is designed) or (b) because of any rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or performed by or on behalf of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant. Whenever said air conditioning system is in operation, Tenant agrees to cause all the windows in the Demised Premises to be kept closed and to cause the venetian blinds in the Demised Premises to be kept closed if necessary because of the position of the sun. Tenant agrees to cause all the windows in the Demised Premises to be closed whenever the Demised Premises are not occupied. Tenant shall cooperate fully with Owner at all times and abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Owner may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the air conditioning, ventilation and heating systems. Tenant may be provided with conditioned air on an overtime basis as set forth in Section 29.07.

Section 29.04. Cleaning: A. Provided Tenant shall keep the Demised Premises in order, Owner, at Owner's expense, shall cause the office areas of the Demised Premises to be cleaned and shall cause Tenant's ordinary office waste paper refuse to be removed, all at regular intervals in accordance with standards and practices adopted by Owner for the Building. Tenant shall cooperate with any waste and garbage recycling program of the Building and shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations of Owner with respect thereto. Tenant acknowledges that Owner's obligation to cause the office areas of the Demised Premises to be cleaned excludes any portion of the Demised Premises not used as office areas (e.g., storage, mail and computer areas, private lavatories and areas used for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages). Tenant shall pay Owner at Building standard rates or, if there are no such rates, at reasonable rates, for the removal of any of Tenant's refuse or rubbish, other than ordinary office waste paper refuse, from the Building, and Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall cause all portions of the Demised Premises used for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages to be cleaned daily in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Owner, and to be exterminated against infestation by vermin, roaches or rodents regularly and, in addition, whenever there shall be evidence of any infestation. Owner shall exterminate core areas and common areas of the Building periodically in accordance with the standards of Class A office buildings in downtown Manhattan.

B. Tenant acknowledges and is aware that the cleaning services required to be furnished by Owner pursuant to this Section may be furnished by a contractor or contractors employed by Owner and agrees that Owner shall not be deemed in default of any of its obligations under this Section 29.04 unless such default shall continue for an unreasonable period of time after notice from Tenant to Owner setting forth the specific nature of such default.

C. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection A of this Section, Tenant shall have the option to contract independently for the removal of such other refuse and rubbish and for office cleaning services in addition to those furnished by Owner. In the event Tenant exercises such option, the removal of such other refuse and rubbish and the furnishing of office cleaning services to Tenant by persons other than Owner and its contractors shall be performed in accordance with such regulations and requirements as, in Owner's judgment, are necessary for the proper operation of the Building, and Tenant agrees that Tenant will not permit any person to enter the Demised Premises or the Building for such purposes, or for the purpose of providing extermination services required to be performed by Tenant pursuant to Subsection A of this Section, other than persons first approved by Owner, such approval not unreasonably to be withheld.

Section 29.05. Electricity: A. Owner, at Owner's expense, shall redistribute or furnish electrical energy to or for the use of Tenant in the Demised Premises for the operation of the lighting fixtures and the electrical receptacles installed in the Demised Premises on the Commencement Date. There shall be no specific charge by way of measuring such electrical energy on any meter or otherwise, as the charge for the service of redistributing or furnishing such electrical energy has been included in the Fixed Rent on a so-called "rent inclusion" basis. The parties agree that although the charge for the service of redistributing or furnishing electrical energy is included in the Fixed Rent on a so-called "rent inclusion" basis, the value to Tenant of such service may not be fully reflected in the Fixed Rent. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that Owner may cause an independent electrical engineer or electrical consulting firm, selected by Owner, to make a determination, following the commencement of Tenant's normal business activities in the Demised Premises, of the full value to Tenant of such services supplied by Owner, to wit: the potential electrical energy supplied to Tenant annually based upon the estimated consumption by Tenant through the electrical feeders, risers and wiring and other electrical facilities serving the Demised Premises. Such engineer or consulting firm shall certify such determination in writing to Owner and Tenant. If it shall be determined that the full value to Tenant of such service is in excess of FOURTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN AND 00/100 ($14,247.00) DOLLARS per annum (such sum is referred to as the "Electrical Inclusion Factor"), the parties shall enter into a written supplementary agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner and Tenant, modifying this Lease as of the Commencement Date by increasing the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor for the entire Demised Term by an annual amount equal to such excess. However, if it shall be so determined that the full value to Tenant of such service does not exceed the Electrical Inclusion Factor, no such agreement shall be executed and there shall be no increase or decrease in the Fixed Rent or the Electrical Inclusion Factor by reason of such determination. If either the quantity or character of electrical service is changed by the corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) selected by Owner to supply electrical service to the Building or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements, no such change, unavailability or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner, or its agents, by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise.

B. Owner represents that the electrical feeder or riser capacity serving the Demised Premises on the Commencement Date shall be adequate to serve the lighting fixtures and electrical receptacles installed in the Demised Premises on the Commencement Date. Subject to the provisions of Subsection C(1) of this Section 29.05, any additional feeders or risers to supply Tenant's additional electrical requirements, and all other equipment proper and necessary in connection with such feeders or risers, shall be installed by Owner or, at Owner's election, by Tenant upon Tenant's request, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, provided that, in Owner's judgment, such additional feeders or risers are necessary and are permissible under applicable laws (including, but not limited to, the New York State Energy Conservation Construction Code) and insurance regulations and the installation of such feeders or risers will not cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or the Demised Premises or cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations or repairs or interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants of the Building. Tenant covenants that at no time shall the use of electrical energy in the Demised Premises exceed the capacity of the existing feeders or wiring installations then serving the Demised Premises. Tenant shall not make or perform, or permit the making or performance of, any Alterations to wiring installations or other electrical facilities in or serving the Demised Premises or any additions to the business machines, office equipment or other appliances in the Demised Premises

which utilize electrical energy without the prior consent of Owner in each instance. Any such Alterations, additions or consent by Owner shall be subject to the provisions of Subsection C(1) of this Section 29.05, as well as to the other provisions of this Lease including, but not limited to, the provisions of Article 3.

C. (1) If, at any time or times prior to or during the Demised Term, electrical feeders, risers, wiring or other electrical facilities serving the Demised Premises shall be installed by Owner, Tenant or others, on behalf of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant in addition to feeders, risers, wiring or other electrical facilities necessary to serve the lighting fixtures and electrical receptacles installed in the Demised Premises on the Commencement Date, the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be increased in an annual amount which shall reflect the value to Tenant of the additional service to be furnished by Owner, to wit: the potential additional electrical energy made available to Tenant annually based upon the estimated capacity of such additional electrical feeders, risers, wiring or other electrical facilities as described in Subsection G of this Section 29.05. The amount of any such increase in the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be finally determined by an independent electrical engineer or consulting firm selected by Owner who shall certify such determination in writing to Owner and Tenant. Following such determination, Owner and Tenant shall enter into a written supplementary agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner and Tenant, modifying this Lease by increasing the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor for the remainder of the Demised Term in an annual amount equal to the value of such additional service as so determined. Any such increase shall be effective as of the date of the first availability to Tenant of such additional service and shall be retroactive to such date if necessary.

(2) If, at any time or times after October 3, 2007, the rates at which Owner purchases electrical energy from the corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) Owner has selected to supply electrical service to the Building or any charges incurred or taxes payable by Owner in connection therewith shall be increased or decreased, the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be, upon demand of either party, in an annual amount which shall fairly and proportionately reflect the estimated increase or decrease, as the case may be, in the annual cost to Owner of purchasing electrical energy for the Building provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the provisions of this Section 29.05 in no event shall (a) the Electrical Inclusion Factor ever be decreased below the original amount thereof set forth in Subsection A of this Section and (b) the Fixed Rent ever be decreased by more than such decrease in the Electrical Inclusion Factor as so limited by the provisions of the aforesaid Subdivision (a) of this Subsection C.(2). If, within ten (10) days after any such demand, Owner and Tenant shall fail to agree upon the amount of such increase or decrease, as the case may be, in the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor then, in lieu of such agreement, such estimated increase or decrease, as the case may be, shall be finally determined by an independent electrical engineer or consulting firm selected by Owner who shall certify such determination in writing to Owner and Tenant. Any such increase or decrease in the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be effective as of the effective date of such increase or decrease, and shall be retroactive to such date if necessary.

(3) Any increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to the provisions of Subsection A of this Section or this Subsection C with respect to the period from the effective date of such increase to the last day of the month in which such increase shall be fixed by agreement or determination shall be payable by Tenant upon demand of Owner. Any decrease in the Fixed Rent pursuant to the provisions of this Subsection C with respect to the period from the effective date of such decrease to the last day of the month in which such decrease shall be fixed by agreement or determination shall be credited to Tenant against the next monthly installment of the Fixed Rent. The monthly installments of the Fixed Rent payable after the date upon which any such increase or decrease is so fixed shall be proportionately adjusted to reflect such increase or decrease in the Fixed Rent.

D. Owner may, at any time, elect to discontinue the redistribution or furnishing of electrical energy. In the event of any such election by Owner, (i) Owner agrees to give reasonable advance notice of any such discontinuance to Tenant, (ii) Owner agrees to permit Tenant to receive electrical service directly from the corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) Owner has selected to supply electrical service to the Building and to permit the existing feeders, risers, wiring and other electrical facilities serving the Demised Premises to be used by Tenant for such purpose to the extent they are suitable and safely capable, (iii) Owner agrees to pay such charges and costs, if any, as such corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) may impose in connection with

the installation of Tenant's meters, (iv) the Fixed Rent shall be decreased, as of the date of such discontinuance, by an amount equal to the Electrical Inclusion Factor to reflect such discontinuance; and (v) this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and such discontinuance shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent except as expressly provided in subdivision (iv) of this Subsection D, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner or its agents by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except to the extent such discontinuance is due to Legal Requirements, Owner shall not cease furnishing electrical energy to Tenant until Tenant succeeds in obtaining direct electric service, provided Tenant is diligently trying to obtain such service directly from the corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) Owner has selected to supply electrical service to the Building.

E. The following method of computation shall be employed by any electrical engineer or electrical consulting firm selected by Owner pursuant to the provisions of Subsection C(2) of this Section 29.05 in finally determining any estimated increase or decrease in the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor, under the provisions of this Section resulting from the corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) Owner has selected to supply electrical service to the Building (referred to individually and collectively as "The Corporation") electrical rate and fuel charge changes and taxes (collectively "Electrical Changes") payable in connection therewith:

(1) Owner's bills from The Corporation for the Building for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Electrical Change in question shall be averaged for demand and consumption (Kw and Kwh) and the rate structure in effect immediately prior to the Electrical Change in question shall be applied to such average demand and consumption factors of Owner's billings for the Building for said twelve (12) month period resulting in an agreed determination of the cost to Owner of electricity for the Building immediately prior to the Electrical Change in question; and

(2) The new rate structure pursuant to which Owner is billed by The Corporation, i.e., the rate structure which includes the Electrical Change in question, shall be applied to the average demand and consumption factors of Owner's billings for the Building for said twelve (12) month period resulting in an agreed estimate of the cost to Owner by reason of the Electrical Change in question; and

(3) The difference in the costs determined pursuant to the foregoing subdivisions (1) and (2) shall be deemed to be the amount of the estimated annual change in cost and the amount of such estimated annual change in cost shall be divided by the cost determined pursuant to the foregoing subdivision (1); and

(4) The resulting quotient shall be applied to Tenant's then current Electrical Inclusion Factor to produce the increase or decrease in the Fixed Rent and Electrical Inclusion Factor.

(For example: Assume (1) an Electrical Change i.e. a rate increase; (2) an application of the rate schedule in effect immediately prior to such Electrical Change to the averaged electrical demand and consumption factors shown on Owner's electrical bills for the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding such Electrical Change resulting in an estimated annual cost of $100,000.00; (3) an application of the new rate schedule to the averaged electrical demand and consumption factors shown on the bills in question resulting in an estimated annual cost of $110,000.00; (4) deduction of the sum of $100,000.00 referred to in step (2) from said sum of $110,000.00 referred to in step (3), resulting in a difference of $10,000.00; and (5) that Tenant's Electrical Inclusion Factor was $3,000.00. The $10,000.00 annual estimated increase for the Building, when divided by $100,000.00, the estimated annual cost to Owner of electricity for the Building prior to the Electrical Change in question, results in a quotient of 10% which, when applied to Tenant's Electrical Inclusion Factor increases the Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor by $300.00.)

F. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, any sums payable or granted in any way by the corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) Owner has selected to supply electricity to the Building resulting from the installation in the Demised Premises of energy efficient lamping, special supplemental heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems or any other Alterations, which sums are paid or given by way of rebate, direct payment, credit or otherwise, shall be and remain the property of Owner, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion thereof, unless such lamping, supplemental heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems or other Alterations were installed by Tenant, solely at Tenant's expense, without any contribution, credit or allowance by Owner, in accordance with all of the provisions of this Lease. Nothing contained in the foregoing sentence, however, shall be deemed to obligate Owner to supply or install in the Demised Premises any such lamping, supplemental heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems or other Alterations.

G. It is the intention of the parties that any determinations which are to be made, pursuant to this Article 29 of the Lease, of the value to Tenant of the electrical services furnished by Owner, shall be based upon a survey of the estimated annual cost of Tenant's estimated consumption of electrical energy as if such electrical energy were purchased by Tenant directly from the corporation(s) and/or other entity(ies) selected by Owner to supply electrical service to the Building at the same rate classification as Owner purchases electrical energy for the Building.

Section 29.06. Water: If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose in addition to ordinary lavatory and drinking purposes, Owner may install a hot water meter and a cold water meter and thereby measure Tenant's consumption of water for all purposes. Tenant shall pay to Owner the cost of any such meters and their installation, and Tenant shall keep any such meters and any such installation equipment in good working order and repair, at Tenant's cost and expense. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed as shown on said meters, and sewer charges, taxes and any other governmental charges thereon, as and when bills are rendered. In addition to any sums required to be paid by Tenant for hot water consumed and sewer charges, taxes and any other governmental charges thereon under the foregoing provisions of this Section, in the event that Owner installs a hot water meter, Tenant agrees to pay to Owner, for the heating of said hot water, the consumption of which is measured by the meter, an amount equal to the total of said sums required to be paid by Tenant for hot water and sewer charges thereon. As of the Commencement Date, there is no hot water meter serving the Demised Premises meter. For the purposes of determining the amount of any sums required to be paid by Tenant under this Section, all hot and cold water consumed during any period when said meters are not in good working order shall be deemed to have been consumed at the rate of consumption of such water during the most comparable period when such meters were in good working order.

Section 29.07. Overtime Periods: The Fixed Rent does not reflect or include any charge to Tenant for the furnishing or distributing of any necessary freight elevator facilities, heat, conditioned air or mechanical ventilation to the Demised Premises during periods (referred to as "Overtime Periods") other than the hours and days set forth above in this Article for the furnishing and distributing of such services. Accordingly, if Owner shall furnish any such freight elevator facilities, heat, conditioned air or mechanical ventilation to the Demised Premises at the request of Tenant during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall pay Owner for such services at the standard rates then fixed by Owner for the Building or, if no such rates are then fixed, at reasonable rates. Owner shall not be required to furnish any such services during Overtime Periods, unless Owner has received reasonable advance notice from Tenant requesting such services. If Tenant fails to give Owner reasonable advance notice requesting such services during any Overtime Periods, then, whether or not the Demised Premises are habitable during such Overtime Periods, failure by Owner to furnish or distribute any such services during such Overtime Periods shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner or its agents by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant's business or otherwise. Subject to union requirements, there is a four (4) hour minimum for Tenant's request for overtime conditioned air, mechanical ventilation, or heat, or freight elevator service unless such overtime conditioned air, mechanical ventilation, or heat, or freight elevator service is requested for a period immediately following the normal operating hours set forth in Section 29.01, Section 29.02 and Section 29.03 in which event there is a one (1) hour minimum. Tenant shall not be charged for Tenant's use of the freight elevator and loading docks in connection with Tenant's initial move in to the Demised Premises.

Section 29.08. Owner's Right to Stop Service: Owner reserves the right to stop the service of the heating, air conditioning, ventilating, elevator, plumbing, electrical or other mechanical systems or facilities in the Building when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements, which, in the judgment of Owner are desirable or necessary, until said repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements shall have been completed. The exercise of such right by Owner shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner or its agents by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise. Owner agrees to use reasonable efforts to restore any interrupted services, without any obligation, however, to employ labor at overtime or other premium pay rates.

Section 29.09. Telecommunications: A. Owner shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with any telecommunication services or facilities to or for the Demised Premises or the use or occupancy thereof by Tenant or any person through or under Tenant. With respect to Tenant's telecommunications facilities and services, Tenant shall contract separately with all providers of Tenant's telecommunications facilities and services (each of which is referred to as a "Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider") and pay each Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider for all services provided by it to Tenant pursuant to a separate agreement between Tenant and Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider. Neither Tenant nor Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider shall use any portion of the Building, including any risers, shafts, conduits or other facilities, to bring such telecommunications services to the Demised Premises without the prior written consent of Owner in each instance including, but not limited to, the location of any of Tenant's or Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider's cables, wires and conduits. Subject to the provisions of Subsection B below, Owner shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the use of the Building's shafts by Tenant or Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider to allow Tenant's Telecommunication Service Provider to bring telecommunications services to the Demised Premises provided that any such use shall (i) be subject to (x) space requirements and uses in the Building, including without limitation, the available "riser capacity" in the Building and anticipated needs of prospective tenants and existing tenants for using such shafts and (y) all of the reasonable rules and regulations imposed by Owner with respect to the Building's shafts or other telecommunications facilities and the installation, use, operation and maintenance of any telecommunications facilities, and (ii) shall not interfere with any other tenant or occupant of the Building. If, as of the Commencement Date, any service provider already providing service to the Building does not already have fiber-optic cable routed to the 18^th floor, Owner shall allow such service provider to use the Building's shafts to run a fiber-optic cable to the 18^th floor.

B. In the event that Owner shall, in Owner's sole judgment, install or cause to be installed a telecommunications cable distribution system in the Building, (referred to herein as the "Building CDS System"), then notwithstanding anything in Subsection A above to the contrary, from and after such installation, Tenant and Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider shall use such Building CDS System to bring telecommunication services to the Demised Premises and shall not be permitted to use any other portion of the Building, including any risers, shafts, conduits or other facilities, in connection with such telecommunication services without the prior written consent of Owner in each instance. To the extent that Owner shall as a matter of Building practice or procedure, cause telecommunication providers to enter into a license agreement with Owner for the use of such Building CDS System and pay fees with respect thereto, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider shall be required to enter into such license agreement with Owner and pay such fees. If the Building CDS System is owned or operated or managed by a separate cable distribution service company in the Building (referred to as the "Telecommunications Cable Distribution Company") for the supply, maintenance and distribution of facilities in such Building CDS System, Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider shall also contract with such Telecommunications Cable Distribution Company for the use of the facilities provided by such Building CDS System and pay any fees with respect thereto. Owner shall have no obligation for Tenant to allow Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider into the Building unless and until such Tenant's Telecommunications Provider shall execute said license agreement with Owner and, if applicable, contract with such Telecommunications Cable Distribution Company. If Tenant is unable to use a particular Tenant's Telecommunication Service Provider because it fails to enter into an agreement with Owner and/or the Telecommunications Cable Distribution Company and pay any fees in connection therewith, no such inability shall

constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Owner or Owner's Indemnitees by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or interruption of Tenant's business or otherwise. Tenant and Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations adopted by Owner and the Telecommunications Cable Distribution Company with respect to the use of the Building CDS System. Owner and "Owner's Indemnitees" (as defined in Article 19) shall not be liable to Tenant, or anyone claiming through or under Tenant, for any damages, including, but not limited to, special, incidental, remote or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost revenue, lost profits and additional operating or personnel expenses arising from any acts, omissions or negligence of Tenant's Telecommunications Service Provider and the Telecommunications Cable Distribution Company. Nothing contained in this Subsection shall obligate Owner (x) to install or caused to be installed such Building CDS System or (y) to own such Building CDS System, which Tenant acknowledges may be owned by a person not affiliated with Owner.

Section 29.10. Directory: So long as Owner shall maintain a directory in the lobby of the Building, Owner shall make available to Tenant a reasonable number of listing spaces for the names of Tenant and any of the officers or employees of Tenant, any permitted subtenant and any permitted occupants of the Demised Premises provided that the names so listed shall not require more than Tenant's Proportionate Share of the space of said directory.

SECURITY

Section 35.01. Letter of Credit: (1) Tenant has deposited with Owner, at the time of the execution and delivery of this Lease, an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit issued Silicon Valley Bank (referred to as the "Bank"), in favor of Owner, in the sum of ONE HUNDRED FOUR THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT AND 00/100 ($104,478.00) DOLLARS (referred to as the " Security Amount") in funds available immediately or same day funds in the City of New York, as security for the faithful observance and performance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed. Such letter of credit is (x) for a term of not less than one (1) year which term shall be automatically renewed for successive one (1) year terms, unless the Bank gives not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice that it will not so renew the letter of credit for such successive term and the last term of the letter of credit shall end not less than sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date and (y) in substantially the same form as Exhibit 2. If such letter of credit is not automatically renewed as aforesaid, Tenant agrees to cause the Bank to renew such letter of credit, from time to time, during the Demised Term, at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of said letter of credit or any renewal or replacement, upon the same terms and conditions. In the event of any transfer of said letter of credit pursuant to Section 35.05, and notice of such transfer to Tenant, Tenant, within twenty (20) days thereafter, shall cause a new letter of credit to be issued by said Bank to the transferee, upon the same terms and conditions, in replacement of the letter of credit so transferred and Owner agrees that, simultaneously with the delivery of such new letter of credit, it will return to said Bank the letter of credit being replaced. The letter of credit deposited hereunder, and all renewals and replacements, are referred to, collectively, as the "Letter of Credit". In amplification and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit shall expressly provide that (i) the Letter of Credit can be drawn down by presentation of a sight draft only without any other documents or statements, (ii) partial drawings are allowed and (iii) the Letter of Credit shall be transferable by Owner, as beneficiary thereof, without restriction or limitation and with all fees paid by Tenant.

(2) The Letter of Credit shall be held by Owner for the purposes set forth in this Article and shall not be transferred except for transfer (a) to an agent for collection, or (b) pursuant to the provisions of Section 35.05. In the event Tenant defaults in the performance of its obligations to timely issue a replacement Letter of Credit, or in the observance or performance of Tenant's agreement to cause the Bank to renew the Letter of Credit, Owner, in addition to all rights and remedies which Owner may have under this Lease or at law, shall have the right to require the Bank to make payment to Owner of the entire Security Amount or the undrawn portion thereof, as the case may be, represented by the Letter of Credit, which sum may be held by Owner as Cash Security (as said term is hereinafter defined) in accordance with the provisions of this Article. If payment of the entire Security Amount or the undrawn portion thereof is made to Owner by reason of Tenant's failure to renew or replace the Letter of Credit in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Article, both Owner and Tenant shall have the right, at any time on behalf of Tenant, to replace said Cash Security with a new Letter of Credit issued by the Bank or any other bank selected or approved by Owner, in Owner's sole discretion. Tenant hereby agrees that Owner may cause the Bank or any such other bank selected by Owner to issue such a replacement Letter of Credit using the Cash Security as collateral delivered to the Bank in connection therewith. The Letter of Credit provides for partial drawings.

(3) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or if this Lease and the Demised Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 16 or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, or if Owner shall re-enter the Demised Premises as provided in Article 17, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, then Owner, in addition to all rights and remedies which Owner may have under this Lease or at law, may from time to time, draw on the Letter of Credit in one or more drawings for the amount of any Fixed Rent or additional rent then due and for any amount

then due and payable to Owner under this Lease and pay such sum to Owner's account. In the event of a partial drawing, as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after demand, cause the Bank to issue an amendment to the Letter of Credit restoring the amount available thereunder to the Security Amount. In amplification and not in limitation of the provisions of this Lease, a failure by Tenant to cause the Bank to timely issue an amendment to the Letter of Credit restoring the amount available thereunder to the Security Amount shall be deemed a monetary default in the payment of Fixed Rent by Tenant under the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, including, but not limited to, the foregoing provisions of this Article, in addition to all rights granted to Owner pursuant to the provisions of the Lease, if this Lease and the Demised Term shall terminate as provided in Article 16, or by or under any summary proceeding, or any other action or proceeding, or if Owner shall re-enter the Demised Premises as provided in Article 17, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, Owner, in addition to all rights and remedies which Owner may have under this Lease or at law, shall have the right to require the Bank to make payment to Owner of the entire Security Amount or the undrawn portion thereof, as the case may be, represented by the Letter of Credit, which sum shall be held and applied by Owner as Cash Security in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

Section 35.02. Application of Cash Security: Any proceeds of the Letter of Credit held by Owner and not paid to Owner for Owner's account as provided above shall be deemed held by Owner as Cash Security and is referred to herein as "Cash Security". Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Owner may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of any Cash Security held by Owner under any of the provisions of Section 35.01, to the extent required for the payment of any Fixed Rent, additional rent or any other sum with respect to which Tenant is in default, or for the payment of any sum which Owner may expend or incur because of Tenant's default in the observance or performance of any such term, covenant or condition, including, but not limited to, the payment of any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Demised Premises, whether such damage or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Owner, without thereby waiving any other rights or remedies of Owner with respect to such default, and Owner shall hold the remainder of such Cash Security as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed with the same rights as hereinabove set forth to use, apply or retain all or any part of such remainder in the event of any further default by Tenant under this Lease. Any sum held by Owner as Cash Security shall be held subject to the provisions of Section 7-103 of the General Obligations Law or any similar statute successor thereto.

Section 35.03. Restoration of Cash Security: A. If Owner uses, applies or retains the whole or any part of the Cash Security held by Owner under any of the provisions of Section 35.01 or 35.02, Tenant, within five (5) days after notice thereof, shall deliver to Owner, in cash or by a cashier's check, or Tenant's certified check, in either case drawn by or on a bank which is a member of the New York Clearing House Association and payable to the order of Owner, the sum necessary to restore the Cash Security to the Security Amount subject to the terms and conditions of Subsection B of this Section 35.03. In amplification and not in limitation of the provisions of this Lease, a failure by Tenant to so replenish the Cash Security to the Security Amount shall be deemed a monetary default by Tenant in the payment of Fixed Rent under the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease.

B. Supplementing the provisions of Subsection A of Section 35.03, all checks or drafts given by Tenant to Owner in payment of the Cash Security, in lieu of being drawn on a bank or trust company that is a member of the New York Clearinghouse Association, be drawn on a bank or trust company located in the City of New York, which clears its funds through the New York Clearing House.

Section 35.04. Return of Security: The Letter of Credit and/or any remaining portion of any Cash Security then held by Owner for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease as security shall be returned to Tenant within the Applicable Period (as hereinafter defined) after (i) the Expiration Date and (ii) the full observance and performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Article 21, it being agreed that any previous default for which Owner has accepted cure shall not be later considered a failure to have performed; provided, however, Owner has no obligation to accept cure of any default following the occurrence of an Event of Default. As used herein, the term "Applicable Period" shall mean (x) with respect to a Letter of Credit, thirty (30) days, and (y) with respect to Cash Security, forty-five (45) days.

Section 35.05. Transfer of Letter of Credit: In the event of a sale or other transfer of the Land and/or Building, or Owner's interest in this Lease, Owner shall transfer the Letter of Credit and/or any remaining portion of any Cash Security then held by Owner as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease to the transferee, and provided that Owner shall so transfer the same, Owner shall thereupon be released from all liability for the return of such security; Tenant agrees to look solely to the transferee for the return of any such security and it is agreed that the provisions of this sentence shall apply to every sale or transfer of the Land and/or Building or Owner's interest in this Lease by Owner named herein or its successors, and to every transfer or assignment made of any such security. Any transferee shall be deemed to have agreed that any Letter of Credit or Cash Security transferred to such transferee pursuant to this Section shall be held in accordance with the provisions of this Article for the purposes of this Article. A lease of the entire Building pursuant to which the lessee shall be entitled to collect the rents hereunder shall be deemed a transfer within the meaning of this Section.

Section 35.06. Deposit of Cash Security in Interest-Bearing Account: Subject to Owner's right to replace the Cash Security with a new Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 35.01, Owner agrees that, if not prohibited by law or the general policies of lending institutions in New York City, Owner shall deposit any Cash Security held by Owner in an interest-bearing savings account at a bank or banks selected by Owner, and all interest accruing thereon shall be added to and become part of such Cash Security and shall be retained by Owner under the same conditions as the principal sum held as Cash Security. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article with respect to any Cash Security, Owner shall be entitled to retain the one (1%) percent administrative fee permitted by law to be retained by landlords with respect to cash security deposits.

Section 35.07. No Assignment of Security by Tenant: Tenant agrees that it will not assign, mortgage or encumber, or attempt to assign, mortgage or encumber, the Letter of Credit or any Cash Security held by Owner under this Lease, and that neither Owner nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, mortgage, encumbrance, attempted assignment, attempted mortgage or attempted encumbrance. Owner shall not be required to exhaust its remedies against Tenant before having recourse to the Letter of Credit, the Cash Security or any other security held by Owner. Recourse by Owner to the Letter of Credit, the Cash Security or any other security held by Owner shall not affect any remedies of Owner which are provided in this Lease or which are available in law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant shall consummate a permitted assignment of the Lease pursuant to the term so Article 11 hereof, Tenant may assign its interest in the Letter of Credit or any Cash Security held by Owner under this Lease to such assignee.

Section 35.08. Partial Return of Security: Owner has agreed that Owner shall return to Tenant the sum of FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE AND 00/100 ($52,239.00) DOLLARS of such security reasonably promptly following the second (2^nd) anniversary of the commencement of the Second Rent Period (referred to as the "Partial Return Date"), provided Tenant is not then in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed. Accordingly, if on the Partial Return Date Tenant shall not so be in default, Tenant may replace the Letter of Credit with a Letter of Credit in a sum reduced by FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE AND 00/100 ($52,239.00) DOLLARS. In the event that at any time Tenant shall be entitled to reduce such Letter of Credit as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article the security shall be held as Cash Security then, in lieu of Tenant replacing any such Letter of Credit, Owner shall return sums to Tenant equal to the amount by which the Letter of Credit would have been reduced if it were in existence; however, in no event shall the Letter of Credit or Cash Security ever be reduced below the sum of FIFTY-TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED THIRTY-NINE AND 00/100 ($52,239.00) DOLLARS. The sum of ONE HUNDRED FOUR THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT AND 00/100 ($104,478.00) DOLLARS referred to in the previous Sections of this Article shall be deemed reduced as the provisions of this Section 35.08 shall operate to so reduce the Letter of Credit and/or Cash Security, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 36

ARBITRATION, ETC.

Section 36.01. Any dispute with respect to the reasonability of any failure or refusal of Owner to grant its consent or approval to any request for such consent or approval pursuant to the provisions of Sections 3.01 or 11.03 with respect to which request Owner has agreed, in such Sections, not unreasonably to withhold such consent or approval, which is submitted to arbitration shall be finally determined by arbitration in the City of New York in accordance with the rules and regulations then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association or its successor. Any such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties, whether or not a judgment shall be entered in any court. In making their determination, the arbitrators shall not subtract from, add to, or otherwise modify any of the provisions of this Lease. Owner and Tenant may, at their own expense, be represented by counsel and employ expert witnesses in any such arbitration. Any dispute with respect to the reasonability of any failure or refusal of Owner to grant its consent or approval to any request for such consent or approval pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease (other than Sections 3.01 and 11.03) with respect to which Owner has covenanted not unreasonably to withhold such consent or approval, and any dispute arising with respect to the increases in Fixed Rent due to the provisions of Section 23.02 and Section 23.04 shall be determined by applicable legal proceedings. If the determination of any such legal proceedings, or of any arbitration held pursuant to the provisions of this Section with respect to disputes arising under Sections 3.01 and 11.03, shall be adverse to Owner, Owner shall be deemed to have granted the requested consent or approval, or be bound by any determination as to Taxes and payments owed under Section 23.04 and the increases in Fixed Rent relating thereto, but that shall be Tenant's sole remedy in such event and Owner shall not be liable to Tenant for a breach of Owner's covenant not unreasonably to withhold such consent or approval, or otherwise. Each party shall pay its own counsel and expert witness fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any arbitration held pursuant to the provisions of this Section and the parties will share all other expenses and fees of any such arbitration.

However, the obligations of Owner under this Lease shall no longer be binding upon Owner named herein after the sale, assignment or transfer by Owner named herein (or upon any subsequent Owner after the sale, assignment or transfer by such subsequent Owner) of its interest in the Building as owner or lessee, and in the event of any such sale, assignment or transfer, such obligations shall thereafter be binding upon the grantee, assignee or other transferee of such interest, and any such grantee, assignee or transferee, by accepting such interest, shall be deemed to have assumed such obligations.

TENANT'S RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER FOR ADDITIONAL SPACE

Section 40.01. Tenant's First Offer Right: Provided that (a) Tenant is not then in default under (x) any of the non-monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed beyond the applicable notice and grave periods set forth in this Lease or (y) under any of the monetary terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed and (b) Tenant, in contradistinction to any subtenants or other occupants (other than subtenants referred to in Section 11.06B) shall then be in occupancy of the entire Demised Premises (for the purposes of this Article 40 any space leased to Tenant under this Lease which has been eliminated from the Demised Premises pursuant to Section 11.03 shall be deemed space leased to Tenant under this Lease) then Tenant shall have the right (sometimes referred to herein as "Tenant's First Offer Right"), subject to the provisions of this Article, exercisable in accordance with the provisions of Section 40.02, to lease and add to the Demised Premises the space on the eighteenth (18^th) floor of the Building, which space is contiguous to the Demised Premises initially demised hereunder (such space is referred to herein as the "Additional Space"), if it becomes "available for leasing" during the Demised Term. No Additional Space shall be deemed "available for leasing" if (a) the then tenant of the Additional Space or any assignee, successor, subtenant or other occupant holding through or under such tenant, shall enter into (i) any agreement with Owner extending the letting agreement affecting the Additional Space or (ii) any new lease with Owner affecting the Additional Space, or (b) any other tenant in the Building or any assignee or successor of such other tenant shall exercise any contractual option or right which it has, as of the date of this Lease, to lease the Additional Space (whether the Additional Space in question is specifically referred to in any such contractual option or right or Owner must utilize such Additional Space in question in order to satisfy such contractual option or right). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 40.01, Tenant shall not have the right to lease and add to the Demised Premises the Additional Space pursuant to Tenant's First Offer Right which becomes available for leasing if the Expected Vacancy Date (as defined in Section 40.02A) as set forth in Owner's Availability Notice (as defined in Section 40.02A) is later than the date three (3) years immediately preceding the then current Expiration Date of this Lease.

Section 40.02. Notice of Availability and Tenant's Exercise of Option.

A. In the event that the Additional Space shall become or about to become available for leasing in accordance with the provisions of Section 40.01, Owner shall give notice thereof to Tenant (any such notice is referred to as an "Owner's Availability Notice"), which Owner's Availability Notice shall contain the date such Additional Space is expected to be vacant or available for leasing and which Owner's Availability Notice shall be accompanied by a floor plan of the Additional Space unless it is a full floor. Owner's Availability Notice may be given not more than twenty-four (24) months prior to the date set forth in such Owner's Availability Notice upon which such Additional Space is expected to become vacant and available for leasing (the date set forth in Owner's Availability Notice on which such Additional Space is expected to become available for

leasing is sometimes referred to as an "Expected Vacancy Date"). Upon Owner giving Tenant an Owner's Availability Notice, Tenant may exercise Tenant's First Offer Right only by notice given to Owner within ten (10) days next following the date of the giving of such Owner's Availability Notice, and by giving such notice Tenant shall thereby lease and add such Additional Space to the Demised Premises for a term to begin, subject to Section 40.03, on the Expected Vacancy Date; any notice given by Tenant to Owner exercising such Tenant's First Offer Right is referred to as "Tenant's First Offer Notice".

B. It is understood and agreed that "time is of the essence" with respect to Tenant's exercise of its Tenant's First Offer Right pursuant to this Article and that if Tenant does not exercise such Tenant's First Offer Right within the ten (10) day time limitation set forth in Subsection A above, any notice purporting to exercise such Tenant's First Offer Right given after the expiration of such time limitation shall be void and of no force and effect and Tenant shall have no further right to lease and add the Additional Space to the Demised Premises.

C. If Tenant exercises Tenant's First Offer Right in accordance with the provisions of this Article 40, then the Additional Space shall be leased by Tenant and added to the Demised Premises upon all of the then executory terms, covenants and conditions as are contained in this Lease, except as otherwise set forth herein, adjusted to reflect (x) the number of rentable square feet contained in the Additional Space, and (y) that the term applicable to the Additional Space in question shall, commence on the Expected Vacancy Date (provided Owner delivers possession on such date), as the same may be accelerated or delayed pursuant to the provisions of Section 40.03.

Section 40.03. A. Acceleration of First Offer Vacancy Date: In the event that the Additional Space shall become available for leasing sooner than the Expected Vacancy Date because of the termination of the term of the lease or occupancy affecting such Additional Space, Owner shall have the right to accelerate the Expected Vacancy Date to such sooner date upon not less than twenty (20) days notice to Tenant.

B. Holdover Occupant: Owner and Tenant acknowledge the possibility that all or any of the tenants or occupants of the Additional Space may not have vacated and surrendered the Additional Space to Owner by the Expected Vacancy Date. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 40.01 or 40.02 or in any Owner's Availability Notice, if such tenants or occupants shall not have vacated and surrendered the Additional Space to Owner by the Expected Vacancy Date, then (a) the term applicable to the Additional Space shall commence (i) on the Expected Vacancy Date with respect to those portions, if any, of the Additional Space which are vacant on the applicable Expected Vacancy Date, and (ii) with respect to those portions, if any, of the Additional Space which are not vacant on the Expected Vacancy Date, on the respective later date or dates upon which such portions of the Additional Space become vacant and Owner gives notice to Tenant of such vacancy, and (b) the increases in Fixed Rent, the Demised Premises Area and all other modifications of this Lease resulting from the application of the provisions of this Article 40 shall be equitably adjusted to reflect the fact that all or any portions of the Additional Space have not been leased and added to the Demised Premises on the Expected Vacancy Date but are leased and added to the Demised Premises on a date or dates after the Expected Vacancy Date.

C. Lease Not Affected: In the event that the provisions of this Section 40.03 shall apply, then, the parties agree that (a) the Expiration Date shall not be affected by operation of the provisions of this Section 40.03; (b) except as expressly set forth in this Section 40.03, neither the validity of this Lease nor the obligations of Tenant under this Article 40 shall be affected by operation of the provisions of this Section 40.03; (c) Tenant waives any rights under Section 223-a of the Real Property Law of New York or any successor statute of similar import to rescind this Lease or such Tenant's exercise of Tenant's First Offer Right and further waives the right to recover any damages against Owner which may result from the failure of Owner to deliver possession of the Additional Space on the Expected Vacancy Date; and (d) Owner shall institute, within thirty (30) days after the Expected Vacancy Date set forth in Owner's Availability Notice, appropriate proceedings against any such Additional Space tenants or occupants who have not vacated and surrendered all or any portion of the Additional Space in order to obtain possession thereof, and shall prosecute such proceedings to completion with reasonable diligence.

Section 40.04. Modification of Lease - Inclusion of the Additional Space: In the event that Tenant shall timely exercise Tenant's First Offer Right in accordance with the provisions of this Article then, on the effective commencement date of the term applicable to the Additional Space, this Lease shall be deemed modified as follows:

A. The Demised Premises shall include the Additional Space (together with all appurtenances, fixtures, improvements, additions and other property attached thereto or installed therein at the commencement of the term applicable to the Additional Space or at any time during said term, other than Tenant's Personal Property) for all purposes of this Lease;

B. The Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease shall be increased by the fair market annual rental value of the Additional Space as of the commencement date of the demised term applicable thereto, as determined by agreement between Owner and Tenant or by arbitration as provided in Section 40.06, and the monthly installments of the Fixed Rent shall each be increased accordingly to conform with the foregoing. In the event that the term applicable to the Additional Space shall commence on a date other than the first day of any month, the monthly installment of the Fixed Rent for the month during which the term applicable to the Additional Space shall occur shall be increased pro rata to reflect such increase in the Fixed Rent;

C. The Demised Premises Area set forth in Section 23.01 shall be increased by the number of rentable square feet contained in the Additional Space; and

D. The sum of "FOURTEEN THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN AND 00/100 ($14,247.00) DOLLARS" appearing in subsection A of Section 29.05 of the Lease as the Electrical Inclusion Factor (as said sum may have been increased or decreased pursuant to the provisions of said Section and the Lease), shall be increased by a sum of equal to (x) the per square foot Electrical Inclusion Factor as of the effective commencement date of the term applicable to the Additional Space multiplied by (y) the number of rentable square feet in the Additional Space, and the Electrical Inclusion Factor thereafter shall remain subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of Section 29.05.

E. Tenant's payments pursuant to Section 23.04 shall be increased to also take into account the increase in Fixed Rent payable during any Escalation Year by reason of the leasing of such Additional Space (other than that portion attributable to the Electric Inclusion Factor).

Section 40.05. Condition of Additional Space: Tenant agrees to accept the Additional Space in the condition which shall exist on the commencement date of the term applicable thereto "as is" and further agrees that Owner shall have no obligation to perform any work or make any installations in order to prepare the Additional Space for Tenant's occupancy. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Owner shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in vacant, broom clean condition and with all Building systems in working order.

Section 40.06. Determination of Fair Market Rental Value: In the event that Tenant shall have exercised the right to lease the Additional Space and thereafter Owner and Tenant are unable to agree, within sixty (60) days after commencement of discussions thereon, as to the fair market annual rental value of the Additional Space, then, upon the demand of either Owner or Tenant, such fair market annual rental value shall be determined by arbitration as follows:

(a) Owner and Tenant shall each appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after notice by either party requesting arbitration of the issue. If either Owner or Tenant shall have failed to appoint an arbitrator within such period of time, then such arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association, or its successor, or if at such time such association is not in existence and has no successor, then by the presiding Justice of the Appellate Division, First Department, of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, or any successor court, upon request of either Owner or Tenant, as the case may be.

(b) The two arbitrators appointed, as above provided, shall select a third arbitrator and if they fail to do so within thirty (30) days after their appointment, such third arbitrator shall be appointed as above provided for the appointment of an arbitrator in the event either party fails to do so.

(c) All of such arbitrators shall be real estate appraisers or brokers having at least fifteen (15) years of experience in such field in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.

(d) The three arbitrators, selected as aforesaid, forthwith shall convene and render their decision as promptly as practicable after the appointment of the third arbitrator. The decision of such arbitrators shall be in writing and the vote of the majority of them (or, if there be no majority decision, then the decision of the last appointed arbitrator) shall be the decision of all and binding upon Owner and Tenant whether or not a judgment shall be entered in any court. Duplicate original counterparts of such decision shall be sent by the arbitrators to both Owner and Tenant.

(e) The arbitrators, in arriving at their decision, shall, unless Owner has theretofore discontinued the redistribution or furnishing of electrical energy to the Demised Premises in accordance with the provisions of Section 29.05D take into consideration that electrical services are furnished by Owner to Tenant in the Demised Premises as reflected in the Electrical Inclusion Factor, and the arbitrators shall also be entitled to consider all testimony and documentary evidence which may be presented at any hearing as well as facts and data which the arbitrators may discover by investigation and inquiry outside of such hearings. The arbitrators shall be bound by the provisions of this Lease, and shall not add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify such provisions. The cost and expense of such arbitration shall be borne equally by Owner and Tenant, except that each party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses.

(f) Intentionally Omitted.

(g) If the determination of the Fixed Rent payable with respect to the Additional Space has not been made by the commencement of the term applicable to the Additional Space, Tenant, until such determination, shall continue to pay for the Additional Space as the same scheduled Fixed Rent per square foot then allocable to the original portion of the Demised Premises (as the same may have been escalated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease) before any abatement or apportionment thereof, and following such determination Tenant shall pay to Owner, upon demand, any additional sums due to Owner as a result of such determination, or Owner shall credit Tenant, against the next installments of Fixed Rent, the amount by which the sums paid by Tenant with respect to the Additional Space prior to such determination exceed the Fixed Rent as determined by arbitration with respect to such space, as applicable.

Section 40.07. Confirmation of Tenant's Exercise of Option: Upon demand of Owner, Tenant will execute and deliver to Owner an instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner and Tenant stating whether or not Tenant has exercised any option contained in this Article and if Tenant has exercised such option setting forth the effective commencement date of the term applicable to the Additional Space in question and, once determined, the Fixed Rent applicable to the Additional Space in question and the additions to the Additional Escalation Payments which shall be owing from Tenant pursuant to Section 23.04 of this Lease by virtue of Tenant's leasing of the Additional Space. However, neither the failure of Owner to demand the execution and delivery of such instrument nor the failure of Tenant to execute and deliver such instrument shall vitiate the provisions of this Article.
