ARTICLE 2
PREMISES, TERM, RENT
Section 2.1 Lease of Premises. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises as described in Article 1 for the Term. In addition, Tenant shall have a right to use, on a non-exclusive basis and in common with other tenants, the Common Areas (as hereinafter defined).
Section 2.2 Commencement Date. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date and (unless sooner terminated or extended as hereinafter provided), shall end on the Expiration Date. Except as hereinafter expressly provided, if Landlord does not tender possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before any specified date, for any reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage thereby, this Lease shall not be void or voidable thereby, and the Term shall not commence until Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Commencement Date does not occur before August 1, 2015 (the "Target Commencement Date"), then the Adams Street Rent Commencement Date and/or the Prospect Street Rent Commencement Date, as applicable shall be extended by (i) one (1) calendar day (after the date on which it would otherwise have occurred) for each calendar day beginning on the day immediately after the Target Commencement Date
5
until the earlier to occur of (x) the Commencement Date, and (y) the forty-fifth (45th) day immediately following the Target Commencement Date, (ii) one and one-half (1 1⁄2) calendar days (after the date on which it would otherwise have occurred) for each calendar day beginning on the forty-sixth (46th) day after the Target Commencement Date until the earlier to occur of (x) the Commencement Date, and (y) the seventy-fifth (75th) day immediately following the Target Commencement Date, and (iii) two (2) calendar days (after the date on which it would otherwise have occurred) for each calendar day beginning on the ninety-first (91st) day after the Target Commencement Date until the Commencement Date has occurred; it being understood and agreed that the Adams Street Rent Commencement Date shall only be extended as aforesaid if the Adams Street Premises Commencement Date does not occur by the Target Commencement Date, and the Prospect Street Rent Commencement Date shall only be extended as aforesaid if the Prospect Street Commencement Date does not occur by the Target Commencement Date. To the extent that Landlord's achievement of the Commencement Date is delayed by reason of Tenant Delay and/or Unavoidable Delay (as each such term is hereinafter defined), the applicable deadline shall be extended by such Tenant Delay and/or Unavoidable Delay. The provisions of this Section 2.2 are intended to constitute "an express provision to the contrary" within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or any successor Requirement. Promptly after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a "Commencement Letter" setting forth the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date, and the Expiration Date provided that the failure of Tenant to execute the Commencement Letter shall not defer the Commencement Date or Rent Commencement Date or Expiration Date, otherwise affect or invalidate this Lease. If Tenant disputes the dates set forth in the Commencement Letter, Tenant shall notify Landlord within ten (10) Business Days of its receipt of the Commencement Letter. If within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice, Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Commencement Date, or the Rent Commencement Date or the Expiration Date, then the Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, as the case may be, shall be determined by "quick" arbitration, conducted by a three (3) member panel, in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association in the borough of Manhattan, City of New York. If Tenant does not dispute the dates set forth in the Commencement Letter, in writing, within the foregoing ten (10) Business Day period, then Landlord shall provide Tenant with a second written request (a "CD Letter Second Request"), which shall set forth in bold capital letters the following statement: "IF TENANT FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THE COMMENCEMENT DATE OR RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE OR EXPIRATION DATE SET FORTH IN THE COMMENCEMENT LETTER WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN TENANT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO SAME." In the event that Tenant fails to approve or disapprove the Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date or Expiration Date within five (5) Business Days after Tenant's receipt of the CD Second Letter Request, then such dates shall be deemed to be the Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date, and/or the Expiration Date set forth in the Commencement Letter for all purposes of this Lease, with such determination being conclusive and binding on Tenant without the requirement of acknowledgement written or otherwise on the part of Tenant.

Section 2.3 Payment of Rent.

Section 2.4 First Month's Rent.

If the Rent Commencement Date is (i) the first day of a calendar month, the Advance Rent shall be credited towards the Fixed Rent payment for the first calendar month of the Term, or (ii) not the first day of a calendar month, then on the Rent Commencement Date Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the period from the Rent Commencement Date through the last day of such month, and the Advance Rent shall be credited towards Fixed Rent for the next succeeding calendar month.
Section 2.5 Tenant's Existing Lease Obligation Rent Credit. Tenant currently leases certain premises in the building located at 55 Washington Street, Brooklyn, New York, the term of which may overlap to some extent with the term of this Lease.

The amount of the Existing Lease Rent Abatement shall be applied against the next installments of Rent becoming due immediately following the Adams Street Rent Commencement Date until fully utilized, and shall be in addition to (and shall not run concurrent with) all other abatements and credits against Rent set forth in this Lease.

The Additional 5th Floor Rent Abatement shall be applied against the next installment(s) of Rent becoming due immediately following the expiration of the 5th Floor Initial Rent Abatement Period until fully utilized, and shall be in addition to (and shall not run concurrent with) all other abatements and credits against Rent set forth in this Lease.
(b) If Tenant fails to timely give the 5th Floor Prospect Street Notice as provided in Section 2.6 (a), then subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(d), Tenant shall lease the 5th Floor Prospect Street Premises, effective as of the date that is the later to occur of (x) the date specified by in the 5th Floor Commencement Date Notice, any (y) the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the 5th Floor Prospect Street Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition (the latter of such dates, the "5th Floor Prospect Street Premises Must Take Commencement Date") through and including the Expiration Date as the same may be extended, upon the same terms and conditions contained in this Lease, as if the 5th Floor Prospect Street Premises were part of the Initial Premises except that (i) the Fixed Rent payable for 5th Floor Prospect Street Premises shall be in an amount equal to the Fixed Rent then payable for the Premises, on a per rentable square foot basis, on the 5th Floor Prospect Street Premises Must Take Commencement Date, (ii) in lieu of receiving a work allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to additional free rent in the amount of the Additional 5th Floor Rent Abatement, provided that if Landlord has performed the work necessary to improve the bathrooms at the 5th Floor Prospect Street Premises, in a Building standard manner, using Building standard materials consistent with the standards adopted by the Landlord for the Buildings, prior to 5th Floor Prospect Street Must Take Commencement Date then the Additional 5th Floor Rent Abatement shall be reduced by One Hundred Twenty Thousand and 00/100 ($120,000.00) Dollars, and/or if Landlord has installed the heating element(s), in a Building standard manner, using Building standard materials consistent with the standards adopted by the Landlord for the Buildings at the 5th Floor Prospect Street Premises prior to 5th Floor Prospect Street Must Take Commencement Date, then the Additional 5th Floor Rent Abatement shall be reduced by Forty Thousand and 00/100 ($40,000.00) Dollars and (iii) Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent for the period commencing the 5th Floor Prospect Street Premises Must Take Commencement Date through and including the date immediately preceding the date

CONDITION OF THE PREMISES; ADDITIONAL RENT CREDIT
Section 4.1 Condition. Tenant has inspected the Premises and agrees (a) to accept possession of the Premises on the Commencement Date in the Delivery Condition, and (b) except for the Free Rent Credits (as hereinafter defined) and Landlord's Pre-Commencement Base Building Work, Landlord has no obligation to perform any work, supply any materials, incur any expense or make any alterations or improvements to the Premises in order to prepare the same for Tenant's initial occupancy on the Commencement Date. Except for Landlord's Pre-Commencement Base Building Work and Landlord's Post-Commencement Base Building Work which shall be performed by Landlord, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, any work to be performed by Tenant in connection with Tenant's initial occupancy of the Premises shall be hereinafter referred to as the "Tenant's Initial Installations". Promptly following Landlord's Substantial Completion of Landlord's Pre-Commencement Base Building Work and Landlord's Post-Commencement Building Work, as the case may be, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly inspect the Premises (each a "Joint Inspection") and prepare and execute a list of Punch List Items. Subject to Landlord's obligation to complete any Punch List Items relating to the Pre-Commencement Base Building Work, Tenant's occupancy of any portion of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises, in its then
11
current condition and at the time such possession was taken, the Premises was in the Delivery Condition, and the obligation to complete such Punch List Items shall not affect the occurrence of the Commencement Date and/or the Rent Commencement Date. If Landlord's Post-Commencement Base Building Work, or a portion of Landlord's Post-Commencement Base Building Work, as the case may be, is not Substantially Completed by October 1, 2015, then the Fixed Rent, or a portion of the Fixed Rent, as the case may be, calculated on the basis of the percentage of the Premises for which Landlord's Post-Commencement Base Building Work was not Substantially Completed by October 1, 2015, shall be abated on a per diem basis, for each calendar day beginning on October 1, 2015 until the date that Landlord's Post-Commencement Base Building Work, or such portion of Landlord's Post-Commencement Base Building Work, as the case may be, is Substantially Completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to solely Landlord's Post-Commencement Work obligation to furnish Tenant with a second fully functional elevator in the Adams Street Building by May 15, 2015 (the "Second Elevator Outside Date"), the reference to "October 1, 2015" in the prior sentence shall be deemed to be the Second Elevator Outside Date. To the extent that Substantial Completion of Landlord's Post-Commencement Base Building Work is delayed by reason of Tenant Delay and/or Unavoidable Delay (as each such term is hereinafter defined), the applicable deadline shall be extended by the length of such Tenant Delay and/or Unavoidable Delay. Upon Substantial Completion of Landlord's Pre-Commencement Base Building Work and Landlord's Post-Commencement Base Building Work, as the case may be, Landlord shall notify Tenant that it has Substantially Completed the same. Tenant shall have ten (10) Business Days following the Joint Inspection within which to notify Landlord, in writing, that it disputes Landlord's determination that it has Substantially Completed Landlord's Pre-Commencement Base Building Work or Landlord's Post-Commencement Base Building Work, as the case may be, and whether any additional items which should be Punch List Items. If Tenant does not so notify Landlord that it disputes said determination within the foregoing ten (10) Business Days period, it shall be deemed that Landlord's Pre-Commencement Base Building Work or Landlord's Post-Commencement Date Work, as the case may be, has been Substantially Completed. Any dispute as to whether Landlord has Substantially Completed Landlord's Pre-Commencement Base Building Work and/or Landlord's Post-Commencement Date Base Building Work, or whether an item should be a Punch List Item, shall be resolved in accordance with Section 11.8.
Section 4.2 Additional Rent Credit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in lieu of receiving a work allowance, Tenant shall be entitled to additional free rent in the amount of Ten Million Five Hundred Eighty-Two Thousand Five Hundred Eighty Five and 00/100 ($10,582,585.00) Dollars (the "Additional Rent Credit"); provided that in no event shall the Additional Rent Credit exceed the amount of hard and soft construction costs incurred by Tenant in connection with Tenant's Initial Installations (collectively, "Tenant's Initial Work Cost"). The Additional Rent Credit shall be applied against the next installment(s) of Rent becoming due immediately following the Rent Commencement Date until fully utilized, and shall be in addition to (and shall not run concurrent with) all other abatements and/or credits against Rent set forth in this Lease. For the sole purpose of determining that Tenant's Initial Work Cost
12
exceeds the Additional Rent Credit and/or the Additional 5th Floor Rent Abatement, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with documentation reasonably evidencing Tenant's Initial Work Cost. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, for so long as Tenant may be in monetary default or material non-monetary default of its obligations under this Lease, including any default under Section 5.4 hereof (i.e., with respect to the removal of liens), Tenant shall not be entitled to apply the Additional Rent Credit or the Additional 5th Floor Rent Abatement until such time as such default is cured and Tenant furnishes Landlord with documentation reasonably evidencing that Tenant's Initial Installations have been substantially completed, which documentation may consist of an architect's certification to that effect.
Section 4.3 Base Building Redesign Costs. To the extent Tenant requests any re-design of any portion of the Buildings, and Landlord and Tenant agree that such design changes will be implemented and at what cost, then Tenant shall bear the agreed to incremental costs of same which may be applied to reduce the Additional Rent Credit.
ARTICLE 5
ALTERATIONS
Section 5.1 Tenant's Alterations. (a) Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or other physical changes in or about the Premises (collectively, "Alterations"), without Landlord's prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided such Alterations: (i) are non-structural other than type which are routinely performed by multi-floor tenants in Class A office buildings, (ii) do not materially and adversely affect any Building Systems other than by connecting thereto and/or temporarily during the performance of an Alteration, such as a power shut down during the performance of same, (iii) affect only the Premises, and are not visible from the street level outside of the Premises, (iii) do not effect a modification of the Temporary Certificate of Occupancy ("TCO"), or the Certificate of Occupancy issued for the Building or the Premises (but the existing Certificate of Occupancy may be amended and updated to reflect the completion of Tenant's Alterations that otherwise conform to this Lease), and (iv) do not violate any Requirement, and (v) do not require the issuance of a Building Permit by the Department of Buildings of the City of New York. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord's consent shall not be required for any Alteration, if such Alteration (x) satisfies subsections (i) through (iv) above and does not require any submissions to, or approval of, any Governmental Authority(collectively, "Governmental Approval"); it being understood and agreed that any Alteration that requires Government Approval shall always require the consent of Landlord hereunder, which consent shall be granted or withheld in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5, or (y) is of a cosmetic nature such as painting, wallpapering, hanging pictures or installing carpeting (the categories of Alterations set forth in said clauses (x) and (y) being collectively referred to herein as "Decorative Alterations"). Tenant shall give Landlord not less than five (5) Business Days' notice prior to performing any Decorative Alteration, which notice shall contain a description of such Decorative Alteration. The
13
performance and installation of all Decorative Alterations that are visible from the street level outside of the Premises shall be deemed an Alteration requiring Landlord's prior approval in accordance with last sentence of Subsection 5.1(b) below, regardless of the cost of such Decorative Alteration(s).
(b) Plans and Specifications.

Landlord shall provide written approval or denial of approval of Plans for Tenant's Alteration(s), including Tenant's Initial Installations, within ten (10) Business Days of Landlord's receipt of Plans for such Alteration(s) (and any re-submission of any such Plans after Landlord has disapproved the initial set of Plans (stating in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof by Landlord). If Landlord fails to either approve or disapprove (stating in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval), Tenant's Plans within said ten (10) Business Day period or five (5) Business Day period, as the case may be, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a second written request for approval (a "Second Request") to Landlord, which shall set forth in bold capital letters the following statement: "IF LANDLORD FAILS TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE (STATING IN REASONABLE DETAIL THE REASONS FOR SUCH DISAPPROVAL, WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN THE TENANT PLANS AS TO WHICH THIS SECOND REQUEST APPLIES SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED." In the event that Landlord fails to approve or disapprove (stating in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval) the Second Request within five (5) Business Days after receipt thereof by Landlord, Tenant's Plans and specifications as to which such Second Request applies shall be deemed approved. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no failure by Tenant to furnish Landlord with a second written request as aforesaid shall constitute a default and/or breach of Tenant's obligations hereunder.
(c) Governmental Approvals. Tenant, at its expense, shall, as and when required, promptly obtain certificates of partial and final approval of such Alterations required by any Governmental Authority and shall, with all reasonable promptness after completion of any Alterations, furnish Landlord with copies thereof, together with contractor's "as-built" Plans, marked to reflect field changes, provided
14
such field changes are not substantial, for such Alterations prepared on an AutoCAD Computer Assisted Drafting and Design System to the extent prepared by the contractor (or such other system or medium as Landlord may reasonably accept), using naming conventions issued by the American Institute of Architects in June, 1990 (or such other naming conventions as Landlord may reasonably accept) and magnetic computer media of such record drawings and specifications translated in DWG format or another format reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord shall promptly and expeditiously cooperate with Tenant, at no cost or expense to Landlord, in obtaining any permits or approvals necessary from any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction in connection with the performance of Tenant's Initial Installations or Alterations which cooperation shall include without limitation, promptly executing, which Landlord shall endeavor to do within three (3) Business Days (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days) of request therefor, applications reasonably required by Tenant for such permits prior to commencement or completion of Landlord's review of Plans; provided, that execution of any such application by Landlord shall not constitute Landlord's consent to the proposed Alteration in question or the Plans.
(d) Asbestos Containing Material and other Hazardous Materials. Landlord represents to Tenant that to Landlord's knowledge, there shall be no ACM (as hereinafter defined) in the Premises on the Commencement Date in violation of applicable Requirements. Landlord shall, at its cost and expense, deliver to Tenant, (i) on or before the Commencement Date, a ACP-5 Certificate which shall provide that Landlord's Pre-Commencement Base Building Work does not constitute an "asbestos project", and (ii) within fifteen (15) Business Days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's final Plans for Tenant's Initial Installations, a ACP-5 Certificate for the Premises, which shall provide that Tenant's Initial Installations do not constitute an "asbestos project". If during the performance of Tenant's Initial Installations, any (i) asbestos-containing materials, or (ii) any other Hazardous Materials existing on the Commencement Date that are legally required to be remediated and/or removed from the Premises under applicable Requirements (collectively, "ACM") shall be discovered in, or about the Premises, or in any part of the Building or Common Areas that Tenant shall have the right to enter or use in connection with Tenant's performance of Tenant's Initial Installations pursuant to the provisions of this Lease (e.g., conduits, shaft ways, mechanical areas, or the Building roof), which ACM shall be required pursuant to applicable Requirements to be removed, encapsulated, or otherwise abated, then, Landlord shall, after receiving notice thereof from Tenant, remove, encapsulate or otherwise abate such ACM in accordance with all Requirements at Landlord's sole cost and expense. If and to the extent any such ACM shall be discovered in, or about the Premises that was not brought in, on or about the Premises by Tenant or a party under Tenant's control, and if and to the extent Tenant is unable to and ceases the performance of all or a portion of Tenant's Initial Installations as a result of same (including due to Landlord's remediation work), then Tenant from the date on which Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of the foregoing shall be entitled to an abatement of Fixed Rent for one (1) day for each day of delay for the portion or portions of the Premises actually affected, until such date that the ACM has been removed, encapsulated or otherwise abated by Landlord in accordance with the terms hereof and Landlord has notified Tenant thereof. If the Rent Commencement Date shall not have yet occurred at the time of such abatement, such abatement of Fixed Rent shall be applied to the day or days immediately succeeding the Rent Commencement Date.

If Tenant engages any contractor set forth on Landlord's Contractor List, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord's consent to such contractor, provided Tenant shall be required to obtain Landlord's confirmation (which confirmation may be oral) that such contractor remains on Landlord's Contractor List. If Tenant desires to use a contractor who is not named on Landlord's Contractor List, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any reputable contractor proposed by Tenant (except for those contractors performing work with respect to Building Systems including, without limitation the Class E System), provided such contractor shall provide Landlord with appropriate positive references and proof of financial responsibility reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving any request from Tenant for such approval, together with such references and proof, respond to such request, and if Landlord fails to respond to such request within such ten (10) Business Day period, such request for approval shall be deemed approved by Landlord.

Section 5.5 Labor Relations. Tenant shall not employ, or permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic or laborer, or permit any materials to be delivered to or used in the Building, if, in Landlord's sole judgment, such employment, delivery or use will interfere or cause any conflict with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building by Landlord, Tenant or others. If such interference or conflict occurs, upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building immediately.

17
Section 5.8 Legal Compliance.

For each Comparison Year in which any such Tax Year commences, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Tax Payment for such Tax Year (the "Tax Estimate"). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the 1st day of each month during such Comparison Year an amount equal to 1/12th of the Tax Estimate for such Tax Year ("Monthly Tax Escrow Payments"). If Landlord furnishes a Tax Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (i) until the 1st day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant (subject to the prior notice requirements set forth below), Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the 1st day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.2(a) for the last month of the preceding Comparison Year; (ii) promptly after the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of the Tax Estimate previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of the Tax Estimate to be made for such Comparison Year in accordance with the Tax Estimate, and (x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within twenty (20) Business Days after demand, or (y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments of Rent next coming due hereunder (or if there shall be no subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within twenty (20) Business Days); and (iii) on the 1st day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant (provided Tenant has a least twenty (20) Business Days' notice), and on the 1st day of each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of the Tax Estimate. Landlord may, during each Comparison Year, furnish to Tenant a revised Tax Estimate for such Comparison Year, and in such case, Tenant's Tax Payment for such Comparison Year
22
shall be adjusted and any deficiencies paid or overpayments credited, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. After the end of each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement of Taxes applicable to Tenant's Tax Payment payable for such Comparison Year and (A) if such Statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant's Tax Payment due for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Statement to Tenant, or (B) if such Statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were more than such Tenant's Tax Payment, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, if any (or if there shall be no subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within twenty (20) Business Days). If there shall be any increase in the Taxes for any Tax Year, whether during or after such Tax Year, or if there shall be any decrease in the Taxes for any Tax Year, Tenant's Tax Payment for such Comparison Year shall be appropriately adjusted and any deficiencies paid or overpayments credited (or repaid), as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have no obligation to make Monthly Tax Escrow Payments unless Landlord is required to deposit monthly escrow payments of Taxes with its lender, and if Landlord's lender does not so require such monthly escrow, Tenant shall pay Tenant's Tax Payment no later than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the Taxes (or the installment thereof) for such Comparative Year shall become due and payable to the applicable taxing authority, provided, however that in no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay any Tenant's Tax Payment prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that Tenant has received a Statement of the Taxes payable during the Comparative Year, together with a copy of the tax bills for the Comparative Year in question. In addition to Tenant's Tax Payment, for each Tax Year during the Term commencing with Tax Year beginning July 1, 2017, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with respect to the Adams Street Premises only, an amount equal to the Fixed Tax Escalations. The Fixed Taxed Escalations shall be payable in the same manner and times (other than the date on which such payments commence) as Tenant's Tax Payment (i.e., 30 days prior to the date on which such Taxes for such Comparative Year shall become due and payable to the applicable taxing authority, or monthly if such amounts are required to be escrowed by Landlord's lender as set forth above).
(b) Only Landlord may institute proceedings to reduce the Assessed Valuation of the Building and the filing of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord's consent shall constitute an Event of Default. If the Base Taxes are reduced, the Additional Rent previously paid or payable on account of Tenant's Tax Payment hereunder for all Comparison Years shall be recomputed on the basis of such reduction, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) Business Days after demand therefore, any deficiency between the amount of such Additional Rent previously computed and paid by Tenant to Landlord, and the amount due as a result of such recomputation. If the Base Taxes are increased, then Landlord shall either pay to Tenant, or at Landlord's election, credit against subsequent payments of Rent due, if any (or if there shall be no subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within twenty [20] Business Days),
23
the amount by which such Additional Rent previously paid on account of Tenant's Tax Payment exceeds the amount actually due as a result of such recomputation. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes for any Comparison Year, Landlord shall, at its election, either pay to Tenant, or credit against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder (or if there shall be no subsequent payments of Rent next coming due, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the amount of such overpayment within twenty [20] Business Days), an amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the refund, net of any reasonable, actual, out of pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund (without duplication to the extent such expenses were included in Taxes), which amount shall not exceed Tenant's Tax Payment paid for such Comparison Year. The benefit of any exemption or abatement relating to all or any part of the Building shall accrue to the benefit of Landlord provided, however, that Taxes for the Base Tax Year and all Comparison Years shall be computed by taking into account any such exemption or abatement.
(c) Landlord shall, with respect to each Comparison Year, initiate and pursue in good faith an application and proceeding seeking a reduction in Taxes or the assessed valuation of the Real Property for the Adams Street Building (a "Certiorari Application") to the extent that (i) doing so would be reasonable and customary for landlords of Comparable Buildings for the Comparison Year in question (without taking into account any considerations with respect to any other properties owned by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord in the City of New York), and (ii) so long as the Adams Street Premises consist of not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the rentable square area of the Adams Street Building (the "Minimum Leasing Requirement"), if Landlord does not intend to pursue a Certiorari Application, Landlord obtains and provides to Tenant with respect to such Comparison Year a letter from a recognized certiorari attorney or consultant that, in such person's opinion, it would not be advisable or productive to bring any such application or proceeding; provided, however, that if Landlord shall elect not to initiate and pursue a Certiorari Application for any Comparison Year, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the last day on which Landlord would be entitled to initiate a Certiorari Application, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give notice of such election (a "Certiorari Waiver Notice") to Tenant, which notice shall contain a statement in bold type and capital letters stating "THIS IS A CERTIORARI WAIVER NOTICE." If Landlord fails within such thirty (30) day period to give to Tenant either (i) a Certiorari Waiver Notice or (ii) a notice indicating that Landlord will initiate and pursue a Certiorari Application, Landlord shall be deemed to have given to Tenant a Certiorari Waiver Notice. For so long as Tenant satisfied the Minimum Leasing Requirement, Tenant shall have the right within fifteen (15) days (time being of the essence) after the giving (or deemed giving) of such Certiorari Waiver Notice to give a notice to Landlord directing Landlord to initiate and pursue a Certiorari Application (a "Certiorari Direction Notice"). In the event that Tenant shall give a Certiorari Direction Notice to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of the preceding sentence, Landlord shall initiate a Certiorari Application prior to the last day on which it is entitled to initiate same and shall pursue same in good faith. In connection with any Certiorari Application relating to any Comparison Year occurring during the term of this Lease that Tenant satisfies the Minimum Leasing Requirement, Tenant shall have the right to retain, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, its own
24
certiorari counsel (hereinafter called "Tenant's Certiorari Counsel"), who shall have the right to consult with the counsel retained by Landlord in connection with such Certiorari Application ("Landlord's Certiorari Counsel") with respect to such Certiorari Application and any proceedings in connection therewith, provided that Tenant's Certiorari Counsel shall have first executed and delivered to Landlord a confidentiality agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord wherein Tenant's Certiorari Counsel shall agree to maintain in strict confidence and not to reveal to any third parties (other than Tenant, except as hereinafter set forth) any confidential information concerning the Adams Street Building or its operations that has not otherwise been made public, except as may be required by applicable Requirements or by a court of competent jurisdiction or in connection with any action or proceeding before a court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, Tenant's Certiorari Counsel shall not reveal any such confidential information to Tenant, except to the extent necessary in the reasonable judgment of Tenant's Certiorari Counsel to enable Tenant to decide whether and how to exercise any rights of Tenant set forth in this Section 7.2(c). Tenant shall be subject to maintain the confidentiality of any and all such information on terms identical to those by which Tenant's Certiorari Counsel is bound and, in addition, Tenant hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall not have the right to use such information for any other purpose whatsoever (including, without limitation, in connection with any fair market rental determination under this Lease, except to the extent that all or a portion of such information has been made known to Tenant by other sources (e.g., public filings or the brokerage community). Subject to the provisions of the preceding two sentences, Landlord shall cause Landlord's Certiorari Counsel to meet with Tenant's Certiorari Counsel, to keep Tenant's Certiorari Counsel advised as to the status of the Certiorari Application(s) in question and the strategies employed or to be employed by Landlord and Landlord's Certiorari Counsel in connection therewith, and Landlord and Landlord's Certiorari Counsel shall consider any recommendations of Tenant's Certiorari Counsel with respect to such Certiorari Application(s). Tenant's Certiorari Counsel shall have the right to attend meetings, including participation in meetings, between Landlord and/or Landlord's Certiorari Counsel and the New York City Department of Finance Assessor's Office and/or New York City Tax Commission and/or the New York City Law Department with respect to any such Certiorari Applications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.2(c), Landlord shall have the right to settle any and all certiorari proceedings with respect to the Real Property, provided that Landlord shall act in a commercially reasonable manner and as if this Real Property were Landlord's only property, and Tenant, for itself and its immediate and remote subtenants and successors in interest hereunder, hereby waives, to the extent permitted by law, any right Tenant may now or in the future have to protest or contest any Taxes or to bring any application or proceeding seeking a reduction in Taxes or assessed valuation or otherwise challenging the determination of such settlement.
(d) Tenant shall be responsible for any applicable occupancy or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and, if such tax is payable by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay such amounts to Landlord, upon Landlord's demand.
25
(e) Tenant shall be obligated to make Tenant's Tax Payment regardless of whether Tenant may be exempt from the payment of any taxes as the result of any reduction, abatement, or exemption from Taxes granted or agreed to by any Governmental Authority, or by reason of Tenant's diplomatic or other tax exempt status.
Section 7.3 Survival of Obligations. Except as expressly set forth in Section 7.4, the obligations of Landlord and Tenant set forth in this Article 7 shall survive the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease for a period of one (1) year after the date that Taxes for such Comparison Year are finally determined.
Section 7.4 Non-Waiver; Disputes. Landlord's failure to render any Statement on a timely basis with respect to any Comparison Year shall not prejudice Landlord's right to thereafter render a Statement with respect to such Comparison Year or any subsequent Comparison Year, nor shall the rendering of a Statement prejudice Landlord's right to thereafter render a corrected Statement for that Comparison Year, provided, however, in no event shall Tenant have any liability hereunder with respect to any Statement or corrected Statement not delivered to Tenant within two (2) years after the later of (a) the last day of such Comparison Year and (b) the date that the Taxes for such Comparison Year are finally determined (including if Taxes for a Comparison Year are then being contested by Landlord in accordance with Section 7.2 (b) or (c), in which event the foregoing two (2) year period shall be extended base on the date that a final determination is rendered by the Department of Taxation and Finance of the City of New York for the Comparison Year contested.
Section 7.5 Proration. It is understood and agreed that Tenant's obligation to make (i) Tenant's Tax Payments with respect to the Adams Street Premises commences on July 1, 2021, and (ii) Tenant's Tax Payments with respect to the Prospect Street Premises and Fixed Tax Escalation Payments with respect to the Adams Street Premises, both commence on July 1, 2017. If, as contemplated, the Rent Commencement Date occurs prior to July 1, 2017, no proration of Additional Rent under this Article 7 shall be required. If the Expiration Date occurs on a date other than June 30, any Additional Rent under this Article 7 for the Comparison Year in which such Expiration Date occurs shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the year from July 1 to the Expiration Date. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, any Additional Rent under this Article 7 shall be adjusted or paid within 30 days after submission of the Statement for the last Comparison Year.
Section 7.6 No Reduction in Rent. In no event shall any decrease in Taxes in any Comparison Year below the Base Taxes, result in a reduction in the Fixed Rent or any other component of Additional Rent payable hereunder.

ARTICLE 8
REQUIREMENTS OF LAW
Section 8.1 Compliance with Requirements.
(a) Tenant's Compliance. Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall comply with all Requirements applicable to the Premises that are triggered as a result of Tenant's specific manner of use or occupancy thereof including, without limitation, obtaining any modifications to the Zero Occupancy TCO required for Tenant's occupancy (i.e., as opposed to laws of general applicability to the leasable space in the Building, the compliance of which shall be Landlord's responsibility, at Landlord's cost and expense); provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with any Requirements requiring any structural alterations to the Building unless the application of such Requirements arises from (i) the specific manner and nature of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, as distinct from general office use, (ii) Alterations made by Tenant, or (iii) a breach by Tenant of any of the provisions of this Lease. Subject to the provisions of Article 12, any repairs or alterations required to be made by Tenant for compliance with applicable Requirements to the extent required by this Section 8.1(a) shall be made at Tenant's expense (1) by Tenant in compliance with Article 5 if such repairs or alterations are nonstructural and do not affect any Building System and to the extent such repairs or alterations do not affect areas outside the Premises, or (2) by Landlord if such repairs or alterations are structural or affect any Building System or to the extent such repairs or alterations affect areas outside the Premises, provided, however, the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.1(a) shall not be construed to require Tenant to perform structural Alterations, unless the same are required due to clauses (i), (ii), or (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence. If Tenant obtains knowledge of any failure to comply with any Requirements applicable to the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice thereof. Subject to the provisions of Article 25, Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord for any actual costs, loss, injury, expense or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by reason of such non-compliance 11 If Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, based on Tenant's pro-rata share of any partial floor of a Building that it occupies violates the density requirements set forth in the existing TCO or Certificate of Occupancy for such Building for any full floor or the portion of such floor that it occupies, then Tenant shall either (i) modify the Building's TCO or Certificate of Occupancy, as the case may be, to permit such occupancy, or (ii) take all action necessary to put the Premises in compliance with such density requirements (i.e., if the TCO or Certificate of Occupancy permits 100 persons on a floor and Tenant occupies one-half of such floor, then Tenant shall not be permitted to have more than 50 people occupy such floor). Attached to this Lease as Schedule "D" is a copy of the current Certificates of Occupancy for the Buildings.
(b) Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not cause (or permit by persons under Tenant's reasonable control to cause): (i) any Hazardous Materials to be brought into the Building, (ii) the storage or use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Building or the Premises (subject to the second sentence of this Section 8.1[b]), any manner other than in full compliance with any Requirements, or (iii) the escape, disposal or release of any Hazardous Materials within or in the vicinity of the Building. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Tenant's use and storage of any Hazardous Materials customarily used in the ordinary course of Permitted Use, provided such use is in accordance with all Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at its expense, for all matters directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Building which is caused or permitted by a Tenant Party.
27
Tenant shall provide to Landlord copies of all communications received by Tenant with respect to any Requirements relating to Hazardous Materials, and/or any claims made in connection therewith. Landlord or its agents may perform non-invasive environmental inspections of the Premises at any time upon not less than three (3) Business Days' notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency, in which case the inspection may be performed without advance notice to Tenant); provided, that any such access by Landlord and/or its agents shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease, including using commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the conduct of Tenant's business in the Premises.
(c) Landlord's Compliance. Subject to the performance of Tenant's Action Items, Landlord represents that on the Commencement Date the Premises and the Buildings shall be in compliance with all Requirements (as hereinafter defined), having jurisdiction thereof where applicable. Landlord, at its cost and expense, shall comply with (or cause to be complied with) all Requirements applicable to the Buildings which are not the obligation of Tenant, to the extent that non-compliance (i) would impair Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Uses (as opposed to Tenant's particular manner of use of the Premises), or (ii) would threaten the health and safety of Tenant and its employees, in either case other than to a de minimis extent, or (iii) would impair Tenant's ability to perform any Alteration including, without limitation, Tenant's Initial Installations).
(d) Landlord's Insurance. Tenant shall not cause or permit any action or condition that would (i) invalidate or conflict with Landlord's insurance policies provided the same shall be commercially reasonable, (ii) violate applicable rules, regulations and guidelines of the Fire Department, Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any other authority having jurisdiction over the Building, (iii) cause an increase in the premiums of fire insurance for the Building over that payable with respect to Comparable Buildings (unless Tenant pays such increase), or (iv) result in Landlord's insurance companies' refusing to insure the Building or any property therein in amounts and against risks as reasonably determined by Landlord (any of the foregoing, an "Adverse Insurance Condition"). Landlord hereby acknowledges and agrees that the mere use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant for the Permitted Use shall not, in and of itself, constitute an Adverse Insurance Condition. If fire insurance premiums for the Building increase as a result of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section 8.1, and Landlord shall provide reasonable proof thereof, Tenant shall promptly cure such failure and shall reimburse Landlord for the increased fire insurance premiums paid by Landlord as a result of such failure by Tenant.
(e) Certain Violations. If the existence of any violations of Requirements noted of record against the Buildings (other than any such violations created by any Tenant Party or which will be cured by Tenant by the performance of the Initial Installations, at no additional cost to Tenant other than a de minimis amount), shall delay (or prevent) Tenant from obtaining any governmental permits, consents, approvals or other documentation required by Tenant (each "Adverse Violation") for (A) the performance of any Initial Installation and/or any subsequent Alterations or (B) the lawful occupancy of any portion of the Premises upon completion of any Initial
28
Installations therein, then, (i) upon the giving of notice by Tenant to Landlord of such prevention or delay and of the applicable violations, Landlord shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion the cure and removal of record of such violations and, in the case of the Initial Installations, the Rent Commencement Date shall be extended for the period of such prevention or delay. Landlord hereby represents that as of the date hereof, Landlord has not received any notice from any governmental agency of any violation of Requirements relating to the Premises or the Building that would constitute an Adverse Violation. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Requirements shall include all local and governmental regulations, codes, rules or laws of any governmental authority having or asserting jurisdiction over, and to the extent applicable to, the Building and the Premises including, but not limited to The Americans With Disabilities Act, Local Law 26 of the City of New York and NFPA 101 (Code for Safety to Life) and the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (as amended).
Section 8.2 Tenant Fire and Life Safety; Sprinkler. If pursuant to New York City code requirements any modifications and/or alterations be made or any additional equipment be supplied in connection with the sprinkler system or fire alarm and life-safety system serving the Buildings by reason of Tenant's business, or any Alterations performed by Tenant, or the location of the partitions in the Premises, or Tenant's Property, or other contents of the Premises, Landlord (to the extent outside of the Premises) or Tenant (to the extent within the Premises) shall make such modifications and/or Alterations, and supply such additional equipment, in either case at Tenant's cost and expense.
Section 8.3 Landlord Fire and Life Safety; Sprinkler. Landlord shall maintain, repair and replace, if necessary, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, the Building Systems situated outside of the Premises, including the main sprinkler valves and risers, base building fire alarm systems and devices. In addition, Landlord shall also provide sufficient points of connection and fire alarm infrastructure capable of unlimited expansion with the addition of data gathering panels (DGP) provided by Tenant as required to satisfy Tenant's fire alarm requirements within the Premises, in compliance with all applicable New York City code Requirements. Any modification to the base Building infrastructure shall be at Landlord's sole cost and expense, unless such modification is necessitated by reason of Tenant's Alteration(s) (other than Tenant's Initial Installations), negligence or willful misconduct. In connection with Tenant's performance of any Alterations (including the Initial Installations), Tenant shall not be required, but shall be permitted, to perform daily drain-downs of the sprinkler system, at Tenant's cost and expense in accordance with all applicable Requirements.
ARTICLE 9
SUBORDINATION
Section 9.1 Subordination and Attornment. (a) This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all Mortgages and Superior Leases; provided, that Tenant's agreement to subordinate this Lease to any particular Superior Lease or Mortgage is
29
conditioned upon the applicable Mortgagee or Lessor executing and delivering to Tenant an agreement to the effect that, inter alia, if there shall be a foreclosure of its Mortgage or termination of a Superior Lease, such Mortgagee or Lessor will not make Tenant a party defendant to such foreclosure, evict Tenant, disturb Tenant's possession under this Lease, or terminate or disturb Tenant's leasehold estate or rights or privileges hereunder provided no event of default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period hereunder has occurred and is continuing hereunder, and such agreement shall contain substantive provisions that are no less favorable to Tenant than the substantive provisions contained in form of agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit F (any such agreement, or any agreement of similar import, from a Mortgagee or Lessor, being hereinafter called a "SNDA"). Tenant's receipt of a SNDA with substantive provisions that are no less favorable to Tenant than the substantive provisions contained in form of agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit "G" and made a part hereof is a condition precedent to Tenant's subordination of its rights under, and interests in, this Lease, and Tenant's obligation to subordinate its rights under, and interests in, this Lease at any time during the Term is excused until the foregoing condition is satisfied in each respective instance. Any Superior Lease to which this Lease is subordinate will not vitiate the rights of Tenant hereunder or impose additional obligations other than to a de minimis extent regarding administrative type obligations of and upon Tenant.
(b) If a Lessor or Mortgagee or any other person or entity shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or the delivery of a deed, then subject to the terms of the applicable SNDA, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such successor landlord as Landlord under this Lease.
Section 9.2 Mortgage or Superior Lease Defaults. Any Mortgagee may elect that this Lease shall have priority over the Mortgage and, upon notification to Tenant by such Mortgagee; this Lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Mortgage, regardless of the date of this Lease. In connection with any financing of the Real Property, Tenant shall consent to any reasonable modifications of this Lease requested by any lending institution, provided such modifications do not (x) increase the Rent, or (y) increase the other obligations, or adversely affect the rights, of Tenant under this Lease or diminish Landlord's obligations, or increase Landlord's rights, under this lease, except to a de minimis extent. Upon notice to Tenant from any Mortgagee or Lessor that Landlord's right to collect Rent has been revoked, Tenant shall be authorized to pay Rent to such Mortgagee or Lessor, as the case may be, and any such payments shall be in satisfaction of the obligation hereunder to pay the same to Landlord. Tenant shall have no obligation to verify the accuracy of any such notice from any Mortgagee or Lessor.
Section 9.3 Tenant's Termination Right. As long as any Superior Lease or Mortgage exists, then subject to the terms of the applicable SNDA, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any breach, act, or omission of Landlord's obligations hereunder until (a) Tenant shall have given notice of such act or omission to all Lessors and/or Mortgagees of whom Tenant has been given notice together with their respective addresses, and (b) a reasonable period of time (which shall not be more
30
than sixty (60) days following the date by which Landlord shall have been required to cure such default under this Lease) shall have elapsed following the giving of notice of such default and the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods (unless such act or omission is not capable of being remedied within a reasonable period of time), during which period such Lessors and/or Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy such act or omission and thereafter diligently proceed to so remedy such act or omission. If any Lessor or Mortgagee elects to remedy such act or omission of Landlord by giving notice thereof to Tenant within ten (10) days of Tenant's notice, then Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease so long as such Lessor or Mortgagee is proceeding with reasonable diligence to affect such remedy.
Section 9.4 Provisions. The provisions of this Article 9 shall (a) inure to the benefit of any Lessor or Mortgagee and any successor thereto, and (b) notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the termination of any such Superior Lease or foreclosure of such Mortgage.
Section 9.5 Current Lender. Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the date of this Lease (a) there are no Superior Leases and (b) the only Mortgage is a Mortgage held by Natixis Real Estate Capital LLC ("Current Lender"). Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days from date of this Lease (the "SNDA Outside Date"), deliver to Tenant, a Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the Current Lender, for the benefit of Tenant, in substantially the form annexed hereto as Exhibit "G" and made a part hereof (the "Natixis SNDA"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord shall fail to deliver the Natixis SNDA to Tenant by the SNDA Outside Date, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering notice of such election to Landlord at any time prior to the Natixis SNDA being furnished to Tenant, in which case, this Lease shall terminate as of the date set forth in such notice and Landlord shall immediately return to Tenant the Advance Rent and Letter of Credit.
ARTICLE 10
SERVICES
Section 10.1 Electricity. (a) Landlord shall furnish and make available to the Premises, at the electrical closets located on each floor of the Premises as more particularly set forth on Exhibit "A" annexed hereto, electricity service to the Premises for the operation of Tenant's electrical systems and equipment in the Premises, at a capacity of not less than a load of six (6) watts per usable foot of the Premises on a demand load basis (excluding all base Building HVAC) (the "Basic Capacity"). The useable square footage of the Premises is set forth on Schedule "G" annexed hereto. Landlord shall on, or before, the Commencement Date, at its cost and expense, install (i) a "real-time" metering and monitoring system in the Adams Street Premises and in the Prospect Street Premises, which monitoring system shall permit Tenant to obtain current information with respect to its consumption and monthly information and billing on the cost of electricity furnished to the Premises. Landlord shall provide a minimum of one Submeter (as hereinafter defined) per electric closet at the main disconnect in each
31
closet. Tenant, at Tenant's option and at Tenant's sole cost, may direct Landlord to also install Submeters on individual components of Tenant's electrical equipment, including the monitoring of consumption and demand of lighting, equipment power and supplemental air conditioning equipment. The monitoring system and its associated software will permit Tenant to review metering measurements remotely through Tenant's data connection. Subject to Landlord's reasonable approval, Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, have the right to redistribute the electrical capacity being furnished to the Premises amongst the floors of the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord shall, at Tenant direction, contract directly with one or more utility providers of Tenant's choosing to furnish sustainable sources of utilities for the Adams Street Building, and Tenant shall be responsible to pay the incremental out-of-pocket cost incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining any such service as set forth on documentation provided by Landlord reasonably evidencing same.
(b) Submetering. Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, prior to the Commencement Date furnish, install and connect submeters ("Submeters") at the Adams Street Premises, and at the Prospect Street Premises, in order to (i) measure and record and provide printouts of the measurement of the demand and consumption of electric current serving the Premises during each month (or other billing period reasonably determined by Landlord) occurring during the Term of this Lease, and (ii) ascertain Tenant's consumption of electricity in kilowatt hours (herein called "KWH"), by time of day, if applicable, and demand in kilowatts (herein called "KW") for each month (or other billing period reasonably determined by Landlord). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Building Systems (other than any air-conditioning units and domestic water heaters that exclusively service the Premises) be on Tenant's Submeters; it being understood and agreed that other than has otherwise heretofore expressly set forth, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, pay all electrical charges relating to the use of Building Systems. Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, maintain the Submeters throughout the Term. Where more than one Submeter measures the service of Tenant in a particular Building, such meters shall be connected by Landlord to a so-called "totalizer" or "coincidental demand meter" for that Building furnished and installed by Landlord at Landlord's expense so that Tenant's aggregate demand for the Adams Street Premises, and the Prospect Street Premises, as the case may be, shall be measured and billed to Tenant with the same effect as if Tenant's aggregate demand for the entire Adam Street Premises and the Prospect Street Premises, as the case may be, were measured by a single meter. The costs incurred in connection with the installation and connection of the Submeters to such totalizer or coincidental demand meter shall be borne by Landlord. Tenant shall effective the Commencement Date, pay to Landlord, but no more frequently than monthly, an amount determined for each billing period by applying the KWH and KW shown on the Submeters to the rates pursuant to which Landlord purchases electric current for the Building from the utility and alternate provider, if applicable, during the particular billing period, including therein any taxes, fuel adjustment charges, surcharges, demand charges, energy charges, time-of-day charges, rate adjustment charges and other impositions of any nature payable by Landlord (billed, in each case, on the same basis upon which Landlord shall be billed) (herein called "Landlord's
32
Rate"). If consumption or demand is billed at different rates depending on different subdivisions or categories of the rate schedule, then Tenant's KWH consumption and KW demand shall be billed at Landlord's Rate per KW or KWH (as the case may be) for such subdivision or category (e.g., KWH consumption is currently billed at different rates on the utility provider's transmission and distribution invoices depending on the time of day of consumption and accordingly Tenant's KWHs shall be applied separately to the rates applicable to the period in which each KWH of Tenant's consumption was consumed). Tenant shall pay all actual reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord to read such Submeters and to calculate the amounts billed to Tenant hereunder, which costs shall be commercially reasonable. If any tax is imposed upon Landlord's receipts from the sale or resale of electricity to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such tax if and to the extent permitted by law as if Tenant were the ultimate consumer of such electricity; it being understood and agreed that Landlord shall register as a "reseller" of electricity. Bills for such amounts shall be rendered to Tenant at such times as Landlord may elect, but not more frequently than monthly and at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date thereof. Landlord shall not terminate electricity service to the Premises until replacement metering is in place and operational.
(c) Direct Metering. Tenant may elect to obtain and pay for Tenant's entire separate supply of electric current by direct application to and arrangement with the public utility company servicing the Buildings ("Direct Electric Service"). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the event Tenant elects to obtain Direct Electric Service to either the Adams Street Premises and/or the Prospect Street Premises prior to the Adams Street Premises Commencement Date, Prospect Street Premises Commencement Date, or the Adams Street Premises Rent Commencement Date or the Prospect Street Rent Commencement Date, as the case may be, that such election to obtain Direct Electric Service shall not affect the occurrence of any of the foregoing dates. Landlord will permit its electric feeders, risers and wiring serving the general lighting and power within the Buildings to be used by Tenant to the extent available and safely capable of being used for such purpose. Landlord shall (at no cost or expense) cooperate with Tenant in connection with Tenant's obtaining direct electric service, and shall reasonably promptly execute and deliver any applications, reports or related documents as may be requested by Tenant in connection therewith, provided that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such cooperation within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, accompanied by reasonably satisfactory documentation of such costs and expenses.
(i) Any additional risers, feeders, electrical meters or other equipment or service proper or necessary to supply Tenant's electrical requirements in connection with obtaining Direct Electric Service, upon written request of Tenant, will be installed by Landlord, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, if in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the same will not cause permanent damage or injury to the Buildings or the Premises, or cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense.
33
(ii) In no event shall Tenant use or install any fixtures, equipment or machines the use of which in conjunction with other fixtures, equipment and machines in the Premises would result in consumption of electricity in excess of the Basic Capacity, and upon notice from Landlord that Tenant is exceeding the Basic Capacity, Tenant shall disconnect such of its installations as are necessary so that Tenant will no longer be exceeding the Basic Capacity (as such Basic Capacity may be redistributed pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 10.1(a)).
(iii) Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall never exceed the Basic Capacity (as same may be redistributed pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10.1(a)).
(iv) Landlord shall not be liable or responsible in any way to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if either the quantity or character of electric energy is changed by the utility provider or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and/or Landlord's Parties. Tenant shall furnish, install and replace, as required and at its own cost and expense, all lighting fixtures, tubes, lamps, bulbs, ballasts and outlets required in the Premises. All such fixtures, tubes, lamps, bulbs, ballasts and outlets so installed shall become Landlord's property upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and regulations of the utility company supplying electricity to the Building.
(d) Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and regulations of the utility company supplying electricity to the Buildings. Tenant shall not use any electrical equipment which, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, would exceed the Basic Capacity. If Landlord determines that Tenant's electrical requirements exceed the Basic Capacity (as such Basic Capacity may be redistributed pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10.1(a)) which necessitates the installation of any additional risers, feeders or other electrical distribution equipment (collectively, "Electrical Equipment"), or if Tenant provides Landlord with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant's need for electricity in excess of the Basic Capacity and requests that additional Electrical Equipment be installed, Landlord shall, at Tenant's cost and expense, install such additional Electrical Equipment, provided that Landlord (subject to the next sentence), in its sole reasonable judgment, determines that (i) such installation is practicable, (ii) such additional Electrical Equipment is permissible under applicable Requirements, and (iii) the installation of such Electrical Equipment will not cause permanent damage to the Buildings or the Premises, cause or create a hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, interfere with or limit electrical usage by other tenants or occupants of the Buildings or exceed the limits of the switchgear or other facilities serving the Buildings, or require power in excess of that available from the utility serving the Buildings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous sentence, Landlord confirms to Tenant that the Buildings are capable, at a commercially reasonable cost, of providing power to the Premises of not less than Basic Capacity and at least substantially consistent with the power required for the Permitted Uses conducted in Comparable Buildings; and so long as Tenant's power requirements do not exceed such standard, the conditions described in clauses "i," "ii,"
34
and "iii" of the previous sentence shall be deemed satisfied. Landlord shall make available additional power for Tenant's use. Landlord shall reasonably determine as asbestos free conduit path for Tenant to access such additional power, and Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs shall be determined in accordance with the formula set forth in Section 10.1(b) above for such additional power. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable access, upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of an emergency in which case no notice shall be required) to any elevator machine rooms located within the Premises. Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Tenant's ordinary business at the Premises with respect to such access.
(e) Any rebates paid to or discounts or other benefits received by Landlord or Landlord's Affiliates from Consolidated Edison (or any other utility or governmental entity providing such rebates or discounts) as the result of energy-saving fixtures and equipment installed in the Premises by Tenant or as a result of the furnishing electricity to Tenant or otherwise related to Tenant's occupancy shall be paid to Tenant by Landlord promptly after receipt by Landlord thereof. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in connection with applying to Consolidated Edison (or any other utility or governmental entity providing such rebates or discounts) for such rebates or discounts, but Landlord shall incur no cost or expense in connection with such cooperation unless Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for such monies.
Section 10.2 Elevators. Subject to the provisions of this Section 10.2, Landlord shall provide, (i) with respect to the Adams Street Building, the exclusive use (subject however to the use thereof by Landlord, including for purposes of completing its finish work; provided that Tenant shall have priority use thereof during the period that Landlord and Tenant are performing construction activities) of a minimum of four (4) passenger elevators (inclusive of the Dual Use Elevator) servicing the Adam Street Premises, twenty-four (24) hours per day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year, and (ii) with respect to the Prospect Street Building, the non-exclusive use of a minimum of three (3) passenger elevators servicing the Prospect Street Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days; provided, that, subject to emergency and/or required maintenance, Landlord may take one or more passenger elevators out of service to the extent necessary during any such emergency or a reasonable period of time required to perform such maintenance (but not more than one elevator may be taken out of service during any one time for the purpose of regularly scheduled repairs and maintenance). Landlord shall, at no charge, provide at least one freight elevator serving the Premises available upon Tenant's prior request, on a non-exclusive "first come, first serve" basis with other tenants of the Building, on all Business Days from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays (collectively, "Business Hours"); it being understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 10.5 or elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant, at no charge, shall have the use of the dual use passenger and freight elevator #4 ("Dual Use Elevator") being installed in the Adams Street Building to replace the current existing freight elevator as part of Landlord's Pre-Commencement Base Building Work, twenty-four (24) hours per day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year subject to emergency and required
35

No Tenant Party shall at any time enter the Mechanical Installations or tamper with, adjust, or otherwise affect such Mechanical Installations. Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System fails to provide cooled or heated air, as the case may be, to the Premises in accordance with the Design Standards by reason of (i) any equipment installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, which has an electrical load in excess of the average electrical load and human occupancy factors for the HVAC System as designed, or (ii) any improper rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or performed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, or (iii) Tenant failing to keep all of the operable windows in the Premises closed whenever the HVAC System is in operation or as and when required by any Requirement.

HVAC charges during Overtime Periods shall only be subject to increases based on the actual percentage increase in Landlord's actual cost for such service, as reasonably demonstrated by Landlord. If more than one tenant within the same HVAC zone as Tenant requests Overtime Period HVAC service for the same period(s) of time, then the cost of such service shall be equitably apportioned among all such tenants (including Tenant).
Section 10.5 Overtime Freight Elevators and Heating. There shall be no charge to Tenant for the furnishing of any freight elevator service or heating service to the Premises other than during Overtime Periods. If Tenant desires any such services during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall deliver notice (which may be oral or by email to the attention of Landlord's Building representative, Robert Israel, whose phone and email address (which may be changed by Landlord on prior written notice to Tenant) are (718) 663-2221, risrael@rfr.com) to the Dumbo Heights Campus office requesting such services (i) at least six (6) hours prior to the time that Tenant desires such service to be provided if such service is desired on Monday through Friday, and (ii) at least twelve (12) hours in advance of the time that Tenant desires such service to be provided if such service is desired on weekends and/or Observed Holidays; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to arrange such service on such shorter notice as Tenant shall provide.

In the event Tenant consumes water at the Premises in excess of typical lavatory and pantry use, Landlord, shall, at Tenant's cost and expense, install a water meter(s) in the Premises to measure Tenant's consumption of such excess water at the Premises. Landlord shall bill Tenant, on a monthly basis, for Tenant's actual use of Tenant's consumption of water in excess of typical lavatory and pantry use.

Tenant shall pay Landlord an annual charge for such condenser water throughout the term of this Lease, which charge is $450.00 per ton (which charge shall not be imposed for any "standby" or redundant" air conditioning units), payable annually in advance in a lump sum initially for the remainder of the first calendar year of this Lease at the same time that Tenant makes its first payment of Fixed Rent hereunder
38
and thereafter for each calendar year at the same time that Tenant makes its first payment of Fixed Rent in such calendar year, and shall be payable whether or not Tenant utilizes such amount of condenser water. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to reduce or increase the number of tons of condenser water which it desires by providing Landlord with notice of its desire to either reduce or increase the amount condenser water to be provided to the Premises, in no event shall Tenant give such notice to Landlord later than the date that is the later of (i) eighteen (18) months immediately following the date of this Lease, or (ii) the expiration of the first cooling season that Tenant is in occupancy of the Premises for the conduct of its business.

Additionally, Landlord shall provide space to accommodate two (2) Tenant-provided 4" conduit interconnections between the Adams Street Premises and Prospect Street Premises for Tenant exclusive use in a location and manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord hereby acknowledges and represents that any such agreements shall conform to the telecommunication standards adopted by the Landlord for the Buildings to accommodate high tech tenants, and that the same shall be on Landlord's standard form of such agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to Unavoidable Delays if either (1) Landlord's Fiber Provider fails to furnish service to one or more of the Buildings for more than twenty-four (24) consecutive hours and/or (2) Landlord's Fiber Provider fails on a chronic basis to satisfy service level requirements provided for in the Landlord's Fiber Provider's service level agreement (SLA) with the Buildings, then in any such case, Tenant shall have the right to designate
39
and engage a telecommunications service provider of Tenant's choosing, and Landlord shall grant access to the Buildings to any such telecommunications service provider designated by Tenant (or any sub lessee of Tenant) for purposes of providing telecommunications services to Tenant (or such sub lessee of Tenant) independent of Landlord's Fiber Provider (i.e., Tenant will not have to use Landlord's Fiber Provider's infrastructure). Landlord confirms that the Buildings have sufficient available riser space to accommodate additional telecommunications providers for the Premises, and Landlord will make a reasonable amount of such space available to Tenant and its telecommunications providers without charge for purposes of such installations.

Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises as a result of any such interruption, curtailment or failure of or defect in such service, or change in the supply, character and/or quantity of electrical service, and to restore any such services, remedy such situation and minimize any interference with Tenant's business. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.11(b) below, the exercise of any such right or the occurrence of any such failure by Landlord shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, entitle Tenant to any compensation, abatement or diminution of Rent, relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or any Indemnitees by reason of inconvenience to Tenant, or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease with the exception of Articles 11 and 12 relating to casualty and condemnation, respectively, if without the fault or neglect of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant, all or any portion of the Premises is rendered Untenantable for a period of five (5) consecutive Business Days after Tenant shall have notified Landlord of such Untenantability (which notice, for purposes of this Section 10.11(b), may be verbal, provided that Tenant confirms such verbal notice by a notice given in accordance with Article 22 within twenty-four (24) hours after the giving of such verbal notice), by reason
40
of any stoppage or interruption of any Essential Service required to be provided by Landlord under this Lease or the failure by Landlord to perform any of Landlord's obligations hereunder, but excluding by reason of a casualty or other Unavoidable Delay or Tenant Delay and Tenant is not in occupancy of the portion of the Premises so affected, then for the period commencing on the day Tenant notifies Landlord that such portion of the Premises became so Untenantable until such portion of the Premises is no longer Untenantable, Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be appropriately abated, on a per rentable square foot basis, with respect only to such portion of the Premises that is Untenantable. "Untenantable" means that Tenant (or any other permitted user) shall be unable to use the Premises or the applicable portion thereof for the conduct of its business in the manner in which such business is ordinarily conducted, and shall not be using or in occupancy of the Premises or the applicable portion thereof. If Tenant shall be entitled to such reduction of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent as aforesaid and such reduction shall accrue before the Rent Commencement Date shall occur, then commencing with the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent becoming due in an amount equal to the amount of such reduction.

50
Landlord to secure Tenant's obligation to pay all costs in excess of restoring the Premises with Building Standard Installations.

If this Lease is so terminated, (v) the Term shall expire upon the 30th day after such notice is given, (w) Tenant shall vacate the Premises, (x) Tenant's liability for Rent shall cease as of the date of the damage, (y) any prepaid Rent for any period after the date of the damage shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant, and (z) if the lease is so terminated, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit together with a letter addressed to the Issuing Bank acknowledging that Landlord has no further right to draw thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.3, if the Prospect Street Building shall be so damaged that, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, substantial alteration, demolition, or reconstruction of the Prospect Street Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises are so damaged or rendered untenantable), then Landlord may, not later than sixty (60) days following the date of the damage, terminate this Lease with respect to the Prospect Street Premises only by notice to Tenant, provided that if the Prospect Street Premises are not damaged, Landlord may not terminate this Lease respecting the Prospect Street Premises unless Landlord similarly terminates the leases of other tenants in the Prospect Street Building aggregating at least seventy-five (75%) percent of the portion of the Building occupied immediately prior to such damage (excluding any rentable area leased by Landlord or its Affiliates). If this Lease as it relates to the Prospect Street Premises is so terminated, (v) the Term shall expire upon the 30th day after such notice is given, (w) Tenant shall vacate the Prospect Street Premises, and surrender the same to Landlord, (x) Tenant's liability for Rent with respect to the Prospect Street Premises shall cease as of the date of the damage, (y) any prepaid Rent for the Prospect Street Premises for any period after the date of the damage shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant, and (z) there shall be a proportionate reduction in the Letter of Credit.

Section 11.5 Tenant's Termination Right. If the Premises or a portion thereof shall be rendered untenantable due to damage or destruction to the Building, and if Landlord elects or shall be obligated to restore the Premises, Landlord shall, within sixty (60) days following the date of the damage, cause Landlord's Expert to give notice (the "Restoration Notice") to Tenant of the date by which such contractor or architect estimates the restoration of the Premises (excluding any Above Building Standard Installations) shall be Substantially Completed. If thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the rentable area of the Premises shall be damaged by casualty and such date, as set forth in the Restoration Notice, is more than twelve (12) months from the date of such damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice (the "Termination Notice") to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days following delivery of the Restoration Notice to Tenant. If Tenant delivers a Termination Notice, this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of the giving of the Termination Notice, in the manner set forth in the second sentence of Section 11.4. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.5, if thirty-three percent (33%) or more of the rentable area of the Premises shall be damaged by casualty and the Restoration Notice set forth in Section 11.5 provides (a) for an estimated date of completion that is less than twelve (12) months from the date of the casualty and the restoration of the Premises is not Substantially Completed within twelve (12) months from the date of the casualty (as such time period may be extended for Unavoidable Delay not to exceed 60 days), or (b) for an estimated date of completion that is more than twelve (12) from the date of the casualty and Tenant did not deliver a Termination Notice with respect thereto, but the restoration of the Premises is not Substantially Completed within forty-five (45) days following the estimated date of completion in such Restoration Notice, then, in either of such events, Tenant shall have a right, upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Landlord to give a Termination Notice as a result thereof and, unless Landlord Substantially Completes such restoration within the foregoing sixty (60) day period, the Lease shall be terminated in the manner provided in the second sentence of Section 11.4. For purposes of this Section 11.5 and Section 11.6, the Premises shall be deemed "untenantable" if Tenant shall be precluded from accessing or using such affected portion of the Premises as Tenant reasonably determines, in good faith, is required for the conduct of Tenant's ordinary business (provided however, that if Landlord believes in good faith, that Tenant's determination that the Premises are "entirely untenantable" is then unreasonable, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with arbitration as set forth in Section 11.8 below). In the event that a portion of any floor of the Premises is rendered untenantable and in Tenant's good faith judgment Tenant cannot use the tenantable portion of such floor for the conduct of Tenant's ordinary business and Tenant ceases the operation of its business within the entire floor, such entire floor shall be deemed to be untenantable.
Section 11.6 Final Twenty-Four Months. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 11 to the contrary, if any damage during the final twenty-four (24) months of the Term, as the same may be extended, renders the Premises all or partially wholly untenantable, and the restoration of the Premises is not Substantially Completed or
52
capable of being Substantially Completed within six (6) months from the date of the casualty, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage and this Lease shall expire on the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of such notice.
Section 11.7 Landlord's Liability. 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 Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any damage to such property, or for the loss of or damage to any such property of Tenant by theft or otherwise. None of the Insured Parties shall be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property or interruption of Tenant's business in each case resulting from fire or other casualty, any damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Building or by construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, or any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building (except that Landlord shall be required to repair the same to the extent provided in Article 6). Unless otherwise set forth herein, no penalty shall accrue for delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of fire insurance proceeds on the part of Landlord or Tenant, or for any Unavoidable Delays arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Building, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises during the performance of any such repair or restoration.
Section 11.8 Expedited Arbitration. In the event of any dispute under this Lease with respect to (a) any circumstance under Articles 2, 5, 11 or 13 where Landlord agreed not to unreasonably withhold, condition and/or delay its consent, and Tenant claims that Landlord has in fact unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed consent, (b) Tenant's determination that Tenant cannot reasonably conduct its ordinary course of business solely in that portion of the Premises that is "untenantable" pursuant to Section 11.5 or Section 11.6, (c) the determination of Tenant's Restoration Payment pursuant to Section 11.3(b), (d) whether Landlord has Substantially Completed Landlord's Base Building Work or any restoration of the Premises, (e) whether any particular items of Landlord's Base Building Work are Punch List Items, then either party shall have the right to submit such dispute to arbitration in the City of New York under the Expedited Procedures provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association pursuant to a submission effected within ten (10) Business Days after notice of the existence of the dispute.

53

than 20% of the total area of the Premises, if in Tenant's reasonable opinion the remaining portion of the Premises shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue the feasible operation of its business in the manner same was conducted prior to the Taking) or if, by reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to all of the Premises, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within sixty (60) days following the date upon which Tenant is given notice of such Taking. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall end and expire upon the sixtieth (60th) day following the giving of such notice. If a part of the Premises shall be so taken and this Lease is not terminated in accordance with this Section 12.1 Landlord, without being required to spend more than it collects as an award, shall restore that part of the Premises not so taken to a self-contained rental unit substantially equivalent (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed immediately prior to such Taking, excluding Tenant's Property and Above Building Standard Installations, provided, however, if Landlord is unable to perform the restoration required hereunder because the same would cost more than the award, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within sixty (30) days following the date upon which Tenant is notified of such circumstance.
(e) Apportionment of Rent. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Article 12, Rent, as the same may have been reduced pursuant to Section 12.1(b) shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and including, the date of such termination.
Section 12.2 Awards. Upon any Taking, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any such Taking, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term or Tenant's Alterations; and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the then value of any Tenant's Property or Above Building Standard Installations included in such Taking and for any moving expenses, provided any such award is in addition to, and does not result in a reduction of, the award made to Landlord.
Section 12.3 Temporary Taking. If all or any part of the Premises is taken temporarily during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent payable by Tenant without reduction or abatement and to perform all of its other obligations under this Lease, except to the extent prevented from doing so by the condemning authority, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning authority for such use.

ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Section 13.1 Consent Requirements.
(a) No Transfers. Except as expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not sublet, or permit, or suffer the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others (whether for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise), without Landlord's prior consent in each instance. Any assignment, sublease, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Article 13 shall be void and shall constitute an Event of Default.
(b) Collection of Rent. If, without Landlord's consent (unless Landlord's consent is not required hereunder), this Lease is assigned, or any part of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant (by operation of law or otherwise), Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Article 13, an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant's covenants hereunder, and in all cases Tenant shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Lease.
(c) Further Assignment/Subletting. Landlord's consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord's consent to any further assignment or subletting, if such consent is required hereunder. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit any portion of the sublet space to be used or occupied by others, except with the consent of Landlord which shall be granted or withheld using the same standards set forth in Section 13.4.
Section 13.2 Tenant's Notice. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises (other than as may be permitted under Section 13.8), Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which shall be accompanied by (i) a statement reasonably detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant ("Transferee"), the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, and a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet (in the case of a sublease), (ii) current financial information with respect to the Transferee, including its most recent financial statement, (iii) with respect to an assignment of this Lease or sublet of all or a portion of the Premises, a bona-fide term sheet describing all of the material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, and (iv) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises, a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet, and a bona-fide term sheet describing all of the material terms and conditions of the proposed sublease (collectively, a "Transferee Notice"). A Transferee Notice shall be deemed an irrevocable offer from Tenant to Landlord, whereby Landlord, in its sole discretion may (each, a "Recapture Option") either: (x) sublease, or Landlord's designee may sublease such space (the "Leaseback Space") from Tenant upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of all or part of the Premises), (y) terminate this Lease if the proposed transaction is an assignment or a sublease (whether by one sublease or a series of related or unrelated subleases) of all of substantially all of the Premises for substantially the then remainder of the Term (i.e., term of sublease would expire with one (1) year or less remaining in
56
the Term, which will include the Renewal Term to the extent Tenant has exercised its option with respect thereto or exercises its option with respect thereto contemporaneously with entering into a sublease), or (z) terminate this Lease with respect to the Leaseback Space (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of part of the Premises for substantially the then remainder of the Term as previously described). If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease in the case where Tenant desires either to assign this Lease or sublet (whether by one sublease or a series of related or unrelated subleases) all or substantially all of the Premises for substantially the then remainder of the Term, then, this Lease shall end and expire on the date that such assignment or sublet was to be effective or commence, as the case may be, and the Rent shall be paid and apportioned to such date, and Landlord shall be free to lease the Premises (or any part thereof) to any third party including, without limitation, Tenant's prospective assignee or subtenant. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease in part in any case where Tenant desires to sublet a portion of the Premises for substantially the remainder of the Term, then, (a) this Lease shall end and expire with respect to such Leaseback Space on the date that the proposed sublease was to commence; and (b) from and after such date the Rent shall be adjusted, based upon the proportion that the rentable area of the Premises remaining bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; and (c) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, the costs incurred by Landlord in physically separating such portion of the Premises from the balance of the Premises and in complying with any laws and requirements of any public authorities relating to such separation. Any such Recapture Options may only be exercised by Landlord by notice to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after such notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord; and during such thirty (30) day period Tenant shall not assign this Lease nor sublet such space to any person. If Landlord does not exercise its Recapture Option as set forth above, then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right of recapture under this Section 13.2 with respect thereto, and provided the proposed assignment or sublease complies with the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 below, Landlord's consent to the proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in accordance with said Section 13.4.
Section 13.3 If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Leaseback Space, such sublease to Landlord or its designee (as subtenant) shall be at the rentals set forth in the Transferee Notice, and shall be for the same term as that of the proposed subletting, and such sublease shall provide that:
(a) it shall be expressly subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable, and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section;
(b) it shall be upon the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Transferee Notice, except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section;
(c) it shall give the sublessee the unqualified and unrestricted right, without Tenant's permission, to assign such sublease or any interest therein and/or to
57
sublet the Leaseback Space or any part or parts of the Leaseback Space and to make any and all changes, alterations, and improvements in the space covered by such sublease at no cost or liability to Tenant and if the proposed sublease will result in all or substantially all of the Premises being sublet for substantially the remainder of the Term as previously described, grant Landlord or its designee the option to extend the term of such sublease for the balance of the term of this Lease less one (1) day, in which case Tenant shall have no obligation to remove and/or restore any Specialty Alterations;
(d) any assignee or further subtenant, of Landlord or its designee, may, at the election of Landlord, be permitted to make alterations, decorations and installations in the Leaseback Space or any part thereof and shall also provide in substance that any such alterations, decorations and installations in the Leaseback Space therein made by any assignee or subtenant of Landlord or its designee may be removed, in whole or in part, by such assignee or subtenant, at its option, prior to or upon the expiration or other termination of such sublease provided that such assignee or subtenant, at its expense, shall repair any damage and injury to that portion of the Leaseback Space so sublet caused by such removal;
(e) (i) the parties to such sublease expressly negate any intention that any estate created under such sublease be merged with any other estate held by either of said parties, (ii) any assignment or subletting by Landlord or its designee (as the subtenant) may be for any purpose or purposes that Landlord, in Landlord's uncontrolled discretion, shall deem suitable or appropriate, (iii) Tenant, at Tenant's cost and expense, shall and will at all times provide and permit reasonably appropriate means of ingress to and egress from the Leaseback Space so sublet by Tenant to Landlord or its designee, (iv) Landlord, at Tenant's expense, may make such alterations as may be required or deemed necessary by Landlord to physically separate the Leaseback Space from the balance of the Premises and to comply with any laws and requirements of public authorities relating to such separation, (v) that at the expiration of the term of such sublease, Tenant will accept the Leaseback Space in its then existing condition, subject to the obligations of the sublessee to make such repairs thereto as may be necessary to preserve the Leaseback Space in good order and condition (and, if applicable, remove alterations made thereto by Landlord or its sublessee and restore the Leaseback Area to its previous condition if, and to the extent, the subtenant would have the obligation to remove alterations made by or on behalf of the subtenant at the end of the sublease term and restore the Leaseback Area to its previous condition). If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Leaseback Space, Landlord shall indemnify and save Tenant harmless from all obligations under this Lease as to the Leaseback Space only during the period of time it is so sublet;
(f) performance by Landlord, or its designee, under a sublease of the Leaseback Space shall be deemed performance by Tenant of any similar obligation under this Lease and any default under any such sublease shall not give rise to a default under a similar obligation contained in this Lease, nor shall Tenant be liable for any default under this Lease or deemed to be in default hereunder if such default is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of the tenant under such sublease or is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of any occupant holding under or pursuant to any such sublease; and
58
(g) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have no obligation, at the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease, to remove and/or restore any alteration, installation or improvement made in the Leaseback Space by Landlord or made by or on behalf of any such assignee or further subtenant of Landlord or its designee except to the extent same was expressly set forth as the obligation of Tenant in the Transferee Notice.
Section 13.4 Conditions to Assignment/Subletting. (a) If Landlord does not exercise Landlord's option provided under Section 13.2, and provided no Event of Default then exists and is continuing, Landlord's consent to the proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be granted or denied within the thirty (30) day period referred to in Section 13.2, provided that if Landlord fails to respond to a Transferee Notice, within the thirty (30) day period referred to in Section 13.2, Tenant shall then send to Landlord a second Transferee Notice, and if Landlord fails to respond to such second Transferee Notice within five (5) Business Days from the date of Landlord's receipt of such second Transferee Notice, the proposed assignment or sublease shall be deemed to be approved if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the Transferee is engaged in a business or activity, and the Premises will be used in a manner, which (1) is in keeping with the then standards of the Building, and (2) does not violate any restrictions set forth in this Lease;
(ii) the Transferee is reputable with sufficient financial means (and Landlord, in evaluating such financial means, shall take into account, in addition to all other relevant factors, the security deposit posted hereunder) to perform all of its obligations under this Lease;
(iii) if Landlord has comparable space available in the Dumbo Heights Campus that is then available (or will become available within six (6) months of the delivery of the initial Transferee Notice) for a comparable term, neither the Transferee nor any Affiliate of the Transferee is then an occupant of the Dumbo Heights Campus. For purposes of this clause (iii) and clause (iv) below, the term "comparable space" shall mean space of similar size (no variance of more than 5%) and condition;
(iv) If Landlord has comparable space available in the Dumbo Heights Campus that is then available for a comparable term, the Transferee is not a person or entity (or an Affiliate of a person or entity) with whom Landlord is then or has been within the prior six (6) months actively negotiating in connection with the rental of comparable space in the Building;
59
(v) there shall be not more than two (2) subtenants on any single floor of the Premises at any one time (if a portion of the Premises shall consist of multiple floors);
(vi) Tenant shall, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment or sublease, including any investigations as to the acceptability of the Transferee and all legal costs reasonably incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent;
(vii) Tenant shall not list the Premises to be sublet or assigned with a broker, agent or other entity at a rental rate less than the Fixed Rent at which Landlord is then offering to lease other comparable space in the Building (Landlord shall respond promptly to any request by Tenant for such rental rate); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Tenant from subleasing any portion of the Premises at a rental rate lower or higher than Landlord is offering to lease comparable space in the Building; and
(viii) the Transferee shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, regardless of whether the Transferee agrees to waive such diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the City and State of New York;
(b) With respect to each and every subletting and/or assignment approved by Landlord under the provisions of this Lease:
(i) the form of the proposed assignment or sublease shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(ii) no sublease shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the Expiration Date (as same may be extended pursuant to the terms hereof);
(iii) if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing prior to the effective date of such assignment or subletting, then Landlord's consent thereto, if previously granted, shall be revoked upon notice to Tenant unless and until such Event of Default shall be cured by Tenant; and
(iv) Except for Landlord's subletting pursuant to Section 13.3, each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate; and upon the termination of this Lease prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant and each subtenant shall be deemed to have agreed that Tenant has hereby assigned to Landlord, and Landlord may, at its option, accept such assignment of, all right, title and interest of Tenant as sublandlord under such sublease, together with all modifications, extensions and renewals thereof then in effect and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not (unless otherwise set forth in an SNDA be (A) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease (except with respect to any act or omission which continues after such attornment), (B)
60
subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense not expressly provided in such sublease, which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (C) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not consented to by Landlord or by any prepayment of more than one month's rent (unless actually received by Landlord), (D) bound to return such subtenant's security deposit, if any, except to the extent Landlord shall receive actual possession of such deposit and such subtenant shall be entitled to the return of all or any portion of such deposit under the terms of its sublease, or (E) obligated to make any payment to or on behalf of such subtenant, or to perform any work in the subleased space or the Building, or in any way to prepare the subleased space for occupancy, beyond Landlord's obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 13.4(b)(iv) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision, provided that the subtenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such subordination and attornment.
Section 13.5 Binding on Tenant; Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting or any acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of all Rent due and for the performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions contained in this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, and any default under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease by any Transferee or anyone claiming under or through any Transferee shall be deemed to be a default under this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all Losses resulting from (i) any claims that may be made against Landlord by the Transferee or anyone claiming under or through any Transferee where Landlord withheld its consent to the proposed transaction, or (ii) any claims that may be made against Landlord by any brokers or other persons or entities claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease, irrespective of whether Landlord shall give or decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise its option to terminate under this Article 13.
Section 13.6 Tenant's Failure to Complete. If Landlord consents to a proposed assignment or sublease and such assignment or sublease fails to become effective within one hundred fifty (150) days after giving of such consent, then Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Sections 13.2, 13.3 and 13.4 before assigning this Lease or subletting all or part of the Premises.
Section 13.7 Profits. (a) If Tenant enters into any assignment or sublease permitted hereunder or consented to by Landlord (but not any transaction described in Section 13.8), Tenant shall, within sixty (60) days of Landlord's consent to such assignment or sublease, deliver to Landlord a list which sets forth the amount of: (i) the commercially reasonable industry standard third-party brokerage fees paid by Tenant in such transaction, (ii) any free rent to be provided under such sublease, (iii) any tenant improvement work allowance or any construction costs paid or to be paid in connection with such transaction and, in the case of any sublease, any actual costs incurred by Tenant in separately demising the sublet space, and (iv) any other costs and expenses
61
reasonably incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease that are so-called zero period costs other than commissions which may be deducted when paid), including advertising costs (collectively, "Transaction Costs"), together with a list of all of Tenant's Property to be transferred to such Transferee. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord reasonable evidence of the payment of any Transaction Costs within sixty (60) days after the same are paid (and if Tenant shall fail to do so, no such fees or costs for which Tenant shall have failed to provide evidence of payment shall qualify as Transaction Costs). In consideration of such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord:
(b) In the case of an assignment, on the effective date of the assignment, fifty (50%) percent of all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the Transferee for or by reason of such assignment of Tenant's leasehold interest herein (including key money, bonus money and any sums paid for services rendered by Tenant to the Transferee in excess of the fair market value for such services and sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant's Property, less the then fair market or rental value thereof) after first deducting the Transaction Costs; or
(c) In the case of a sublease, fifty (50%) percent of any consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the Transferee which exceeds on a per square foot basis the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the sublet space (including sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant's Property, less the then fair market value or rental value thereof) after first deducting the Transaction Costs, which Transactional Costs shall be deducted when paid. The sums payable under this clause shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly as and when paid by the subtenant to Tenant but only after deducting all Transaction Costs, and profit, if any, has been realized.
Section 13.8 Transfers. (a) Affiliates. If Tenant is a legal entity, the transfer (by one or more transfers), directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of a majority of the stock or other beneficial ownership interest in Tenant or, of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (collectively "Ownership Interests") shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease provided, however, that the provisions of Section 13.2 shall not apply to, and Landlord's consent shall not be required with respect to the transfer of Ownership Interests in Tenant if and so long as the stock of Tenant is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, including the issuance of new Ownership Interests either by way of an initial or other "public offering". For purposes of this Article, the term "transfers" shall be deemed to include (x) the establishment of a new fund, or otherwise, which results in a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant being held by a person or entity which does not hold a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant on the date hereof, (y) except as provided below, the sale of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets, and (z) except as provided below, the merger or consolidation or conversion of Tenant into or with another business entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 13, Landlord's consent shall not be required and the provisions of Section 13.2 shall not apply to transactions with a business entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or converted or to which all or substantially all of Tenant's assets or a majority of the Ownership
62
Interests of Tenant are transferred (any of the foregoing, a "Successor Entity"), and shall also not apply to a transfer or issuance of Ownership Interests of Tenant so long as (i) such transfer or other transaction was made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the principal purpose of transferring this Lease and, in the case of a merger or consolidation only, (ii) the Successor Entity has a tangible net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied that is at least equal to twenty (20) times the amount of Fixed Rent then payable hereunder (the "Successor Net Worth Threshold") or if the Successor Entity's tangible net worth is less than the Successor Net Worth Threshold, then same shall be deemed to be satisfied if the security deposit is increased by an amount equal to one (1) month of the then Fixed Rent payable hereunder multiplied by the difference between (x) 20, and (y) the actual tangible net worth of the Successor Entity expressed as a multiple of then then annual Fixed Rent payable hereunder (e.g., if the Successor Entity tangible net worth was equal to 18 times the then annual Fixed Rent, then the security deposit would be increased by 2 months of the then monthly Fixed Rent), and (iii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth is delivered to Landlord at least five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of any such transaction (or promptly upon Landlord's request), (iv) any such transfer shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, and (v) Tenant (except in the event of a merger where Tenant is not the surviving entity or a sale of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets) shall remain fully liable for all obligations to be performed by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant may also, upon prior notice to Landlord, but without the provisions of Sections 13.2 or Section 13.4 being applicable, permit any Affiliate of Tenant to accept an assignment of this Lease or sublet all or part of the Premises, provided such sublease may continue for so long as such entity remains an Affiliate of Tenant. Any such sublease shall not be deemed to relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Premises pursuant to this Section 13.8 if Tenant is in default of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed hereunder, either at the time (x) it delivers a Transferee Notice, or (y) the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease.
(b) Applicability. The limitations and rights set forth in this Section 13.8 shall apply to Transferee(s) of this Lease, and any transfer by any such entity in violation of this Section 13.8 shall be a transfer in violation of Section 13.1.
(c) Modifications. Any modification, amendment or extension of a sublease shall be deemed a sublease for the purposes of Section 13.1 hereof.
Section 13.9 Assumption of Obligations. No assignment of this Lease shall be effective unless and until the Transferee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee (a) assumes Tenant's obligations under this Lease and (b) agrees that, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof shall be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers.
63
Section 13.10 Tenant's Liability. The joint and several liability of Tenant and any successors-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, extending the time, or modifying any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, provided, however, the predecessor tenant shall not be liable with respect to any agreement or stipulation which shall increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
Section 13.11 Initial Sublease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right to enter into an initial sublease of up to one (1) full floor of the Premises in one (but not both) of the Buildings, subject to all the terms and conditions of this Article 13 other than the Recapture Options set forth in Sections 13.2 and 13.3 and sharing of Profits set forth in Section 13.7.
Section 13.12 Lease Disaffirmance or Rejection. If at any time after an assignment by Tenant named herein, this Lease is not affirmed or is rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding or any similar proceeding, or upon a termination of this Lease due to any such proceeding, Tenant named herein, upon request of Landlord given after such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (a) pay to Landlord all Rent and other charges due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as "tenant," enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Expiration Date, at the same Rent and upon the then executory terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the rights of Tenant named herein under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any persons or entities claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, (ii) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant named herein with due diligence, and (iii) such new lease shall require Tenant named herein to pay all Rent which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have become due under the provisions of this Lease after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If Tenant named herein defaults in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a period of ten (10) days after Landlord's request, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant named herein as if it had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant's default thereunder.
Section 13.13 Desk Sharing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Tenant, upon at least ten (10) days prior notice to Landlord, may, without Landlord's consent, permit certain consultants, strategic partners, clients, advisors, other professionals, or other third parties (collectively, "Desk Sharing
64
Entities") to occupy desk space comprising not more than a total of fifteen (15%) percent of the rentable square footage then comprising the Premises, in the aggregate, for purposes incidental to the Permitted Uses under this Lease, provided, (i) such Desk Sharing Entities have and continue to have an ongoing professional or business relationship with Tenant, (ii) shall not have any rights hereunder (other than to occupy such space in the Premises subject to and in accordance with this Section 13.13), (iii) shall such occupancy create a landlord/tenant relationship or any privity with the Landlord, (iv) each occupancy shall be expressly subject to all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease other than the obligation to pay rent, (v) such Desk Sharing Entities are expressly prohibited from assigning, subletting, pledging or otherwise transferring its rights in the Premises; and (vi) Tenant shall receive no rent, payment or other consideration in connection with such occupancy in respect of such space other than rent payments (in no event greater per rentable square foot than the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder per rentable square foot). The rights of Tenant under this Section 13.13 shall not in any manner relieve Tenant of its obligations arising under this Lease.
ARTICLE 14
ACCESS TO PREMISES
Section 14.1 Landlord's Access. (a) Landlord, Landlord's agents and utility service providers servicing the Building may erect, use and maintain concealed ducts, pipes and concealed conduits in and through the Premises provided such use does not cause the usable area of the Premises to be reduced other than to a de minimis extent. Landlord shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by any work performed pursuant to this Article 14. The foregoing is not intended to vitiate the provisions of Section 6.3 or Section 10.11(c).

Section 14.3 Light and Air. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily darkened or covered over by reason of any Restorative Work or for any other reason, Landlord shall diligently complete such work or otherwise act diligently to remove the temporary darkening or covering over of such windows. If there is otherwise a diminution of light, air or view by another structure which may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord), Landlord shall not be liable for any damages and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or abatement of any Rent, nor shall the same release Tenant from its obligations hereunder or constitute an actual or constructive eviction.
ARTICLE 15
DEFAULT
Section 15.1 Tenant's Defaults. Each of the following events shall be an "Event of Default" hereunder:
(a) Tenant fails to pay when due any installment of Rent and such default shall continue for five (5) days after notice of such default is given to Tenant; or
(b) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days (ten [10] days for any failure by Tenant to use and occupy the Premises for a use that is not a Permitted Use) after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or if such default (other than any failure by Tenant to use and occupy the Premises for a use that is not a Permitted Use) is of a nature that it cannot be completely remedied within thirty (30) days, failure by Tenant to commence to remedy such failure within said thirty (30) days, and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy such default; or
66
(c) if Landlord applies or retains any part of the security held by it hereunder, and Tenant fails within five (5) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant to (i) deposit with Landlord the amount so applied or retained by Landlord, or (ii) provide Landlord with (x) a replacement Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined), in the full amount required hereunder, or (y) a modification of the Letter of Credit which reinstates the amount so applied or retained; or
(d) Tenant files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or is adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or files any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal bankruptcy act or any other present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or seeks or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee, receiver, liquidator or other similar official for Tenant or for all or any part of Tenant's property; or
(e) a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree adjudicating Tenant bankrupt, or appointing a trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant, or of the whole or any substantial part of its property, without the consent of Tenant, or approving a petition filed against Tenant seeking reorganization or arrangement of Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the United States, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any state thereof, and such order, judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within ninety (90) days from the date of entry thereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more of such Events of Default, Landlord may, at its sole option, give to Tenant three (3) days' notice of cancellation of this Lease (or of Tenant's possession of the Premises), in which event this Lease and the Term (or Tenant's possession of the Premises) shall terminate (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) with the same force and effect as if the date set forth in the notice were the Expiration Date stated herein; and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in this Article 15.
Section 15.2 Landlord's Remedies.
(a) Possession/Reletting. If any Event of Default occurs and this Lease and the Term, or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.1:
(i) Surrender of Possession. Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord and its agents may immediately, or at any time after such termination, re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any other applicable action or proceeding, or by force (to the extent permitted by law) or otherwise in accordance with applicable legal proceedings (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefore), and may repossess the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons or entities from the Premises and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises.
67
(ii) Landlord's Reletting. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may relet all or any part of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for any term ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental and upon such other conditions (which may include concessions and free rent periods) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine. Landlord shall have no obligation to accept any tenant offered by Tenant and shall not be liable for failure to relet or, in the event of any such reletting, for failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting; and no such failure shall relieve Tenant of, or otherwise affect, any liability under this Lease. Landlord, at Landlord's option, may make such alterations, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability.
(b) Tenant's Waiver. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons or entities claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, hereby waives all rights which Tenant and all such persons or entities might otherwise have under any Requirement (i) to the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings, (ii) to redeem, or to re-enter or repossess the Premises, or (iii) to restore the operation of this Lease, after (A) Tenant shall have been dispossessed by judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, (B) any re-entry by Landlord, or (C) any expiration or early termination of the term of this Lease, 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 "reentered" as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings.
(c) Tenant's Breach. Upon the breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any persons or entities claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and 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 rights to invoke the remedies set forth above are cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.
Section 15.3 Landlord's Damages.
(a) Amount of Damages. If this Lease and the Term, or Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.1, then:
(i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all items of Rent when due and payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord;
(ii) Landlord may retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as prepaid Rent, a security deposit or otherwise, which monies, to the extent not otherwise applied to amounts due and owing to Landlord, shall be credited by Landlord against any damages payable by Tenant to Landlord;
68
(iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in monthly installments, on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent, any Deficiency (as hereinafter defined); it being understood that Landlord shall be entitled to recover the Deficiency from Tenant each month as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month, shall prejudice Landlord's right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding; and
(iv) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency and as liquidated and agreed final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the Rent for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term (assuming the Additional Rent during such period to be the same as was payable for the year immediately preceding such termination or re-entry, increased in each succeeding year by four (4%)percent (on a compounded basis)) exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises, for the same period (with both amounts being discounted to present value at a rate of interest equal to two (2%) percent below the then Base Rate) less the aggregate amount of Deficiencies theretofore collected by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.3(a)(iii) for the same period. If, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the Premises, or any part thereof, shall have been relet by Landlord to an unaffiliated party for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the 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 Premises so relet during the term of the reletting.
(b) Reletting. If the Premises or any part thereof, shall be relet together with other space in the Buildings, the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section 15.3. Tenant shall not be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not such rents exceeds the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease. Nothing contained in Article 15 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any Requirement, or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in this Section 15.3, except that, in no event, shall either Landlord or Tenant be liable to other or anyone claiming through or under other for consequential or punitive damages.
Section 15.4 Interest. If any payment of Rent is not paid when due, interest shall accrue on such payment, from the date such payment was due until paid at the Interest Rate. Such interest and late charges are separate and cumulative and are in addition to and shall not diminish or represent a substitute for any of Landlord's rights or remedies under any other provision of this Lease.
Section 15.5 Other Rights of Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent when due, Landlord, in addition to any other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in the case of a default by Tenant in the payment of Fixed Rent. If Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant's right, if any, to
69
designate the items against which any payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to any items Landlord sees fit, regardless of any request by Tenant.
ARTICLE 16
LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO CURE; FEES AND EXPENSES
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, Landlord, without waiving such default, may perform the obligations giving rise thereto at Tenant's expense (a) immediately, and without advance notice, in the case of emergency or if the default (i) materially interferes with the use by any other tenant of the Building, (ii) materially interferes with the efficient operation of the Building, (iii) results in a violation of any Requirement, or (iv) results or will result in a cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord or (b) in any other case if such default continues after ten (10) Business Days from the date Landlord gives notice of Landlord's intention to perform the defaulted obligation (provided Tenant is not the diligently prosecuting the cure of the same). All actual out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it and all actual out of pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord as a result of any default by Tenant under this Lease or in any action or proceeding (including any unlawful detainer proceeding) brought by Landlord or in which Landlord is a party to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and/or right of Landlord in or to the Premises, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) Business Days of Tenant's receipt of a reasonably substantiated invoice therefore, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date incurred by Landlord. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all costs and expenses which, pursuant to this Lease are incurred by Landlord and payable to Landlord by Tenant, and all charges, amounts and sums payable to Landlord by Tenant for any property, material, labor, utility or other services which, pursuant to this Lease or at the request and for the account of Tenant, are provided, furnished or rendered by Landlord, shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Landlord's invoice for such amount.
ARTICLE 17
NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD; LANDLORD'S APPROVAL
Section 17.1 No Representations. Except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord and Landlord's agents have made no warranties, representations, statements or promises with respect to the Buildings, the Real Property or the Premises and no rights including, without limitation, any development rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise. Tenant is entering into this Lease after full investigation and is not relying upon any statement or representation made by Landlord not embodied in this Lease.
70
Section 17.2 No Money Damages. Wherever in this Lease Landlord's consent or approval is required, if Landlord refuses to grant such consent or approval, whether or not Landlord expressly agreed that such consent or approval would not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall not make or exercise, and Tenant hereby waives, any claim for money damages (including any claim by way of set-off, counterclaim or defense) and/or any right to terminate this Lease based upon Tenant's claim or assertion that Landlord unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent or approval. Tenant's sole remedy shall be to bring an action or proceeding (or arbitration pursuant to Section 11.8) to enforce such provision, by specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment. In no event shall Landlord be liable for, and Tenant, on behalf of itself and all other Tenant Parties, hereby waives any claim for, any indirect, consequential or punitive damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection with this Lease.
Section 17.3 Reasonable Efforts. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, "reasonable efforts" by Landlord shall not include an obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses of any extraordinary nature unless (i) Tenant requests same reasonably in advance in a notice to Landlord and reimburses Landlord for the actual, incremental, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after delivery of an invoice therefore, (ii) failure to perform such work on an overtime basis would have material adverse effect on Tenant's ability to conduct its business in all or a portion of the Premises.
ARTICLE 18
END OF TERM
Section 18.1 Expiration. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord vacant, broom clean and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage from casualty excepted, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant's Property (other than any wiring or cabling between the basement of the Building and the Premises between the floors or under the floors of the Premises or above any hung ceilings designated by Landlord for use by Tenant or a future tenant of the Building) and any Specialty Alterations as may be required pursuant to Section 5.3.
Section 18.2 Holdover Rent. Landlord and Tenant recognize that Landlord's damages resulting from Tenant's failure to timely surrender possession of the entire Premises may be substantial, may exceed the amount of the Rent payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure. Accordingly, if possession of the entire Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have hereunder or at law, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month (or any portion thereof) during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, a sum equal to the Applicable Percentage times the Rent payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term. To the extent the duration of
71
Tenant's holdover exceeds thirty (30) days, then Tenant shall be liable for any and all actual damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's holdover at the Premises, including, without limitation, (x) Landlord's loss of the benefit of the bargain by reason of its inability to enter into a new lease with a new tenant for the Premises due to Tenant's holdover at the Premises, and (y) any and all damages including, without limitation, consequential and/or special damages which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant's holdover at the Premises. No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof. No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.2. "Applicable Percentage" means (i) 150% for the first thirty (30) days of such holdover, and (ii) 200% thereafter.
Section 18.3 Waiver of Stay. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any person or entity claiming through or under Tenant, any rights which Tenant or any such person or entity may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and of any successor Requirement of like import then in force, in connection with any holdover summary proceedings which Landlord may institute to enforce the foregoing provisions of this Article 18.
ARTICLE 19
QUIET ENJOYMENT
Provided this Lease is in full force and effect, Tenant may peaceably and quietly use and enjoy the Premises without hindrance by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming through or under Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and to all Superior Leases and Mortgages.
ARTICLE 20
NO SURRENDER; NO WAIVER
Section 20.1 No Surrender or Release. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver is in writing and is signed by Landlord.
Section 20.2 No Waiver. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future performance of such obligations of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, or of the right to exercise such election but the same shall continue and
72
remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent payable pursuant to this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease on the part of Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The payment by Tenant of any Rent payable pursuant to this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease on the part of Landlord shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, or as Landlord may elect to apply such payment, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.
ARTICLE 21
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY; COUNTERCLAIM
Section 21.1 Jury Trial Waiver. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO THIS LEASE ANY STATUTE, EMERGENCY OR OTHERWISE.
Section 21.2 Waiver of Counterclaim. If Landlord commences any summary proceeding against Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description in any such proceeding (unless failure to interpose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any other court by Tenant.
ARTICLE 22
NOTICES
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all consents, notices, demands, requests, approvals or other communications given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given or rendered if delivered by hand either to the Premises or to Tenant's address as set forth in Article 1 (provided a signed receipt is obtained) or if sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service making receipted deliveries, addressed to Landlord and Tenant as set forth in Article 1, and to any Mortgagee or Lessor who shall require copies of notices and whose address is provided in advance to Tenant in writing, or to such other address(es) as Landlord, Tenant or any Mortgagee or Lessor may designate as its new address(es) for such purpose by notice
73
given to the other in accordance with the provisions of this Article 22. Any such approval, consent, notice, demand, request or other communication shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipted delivery, refusal to accept delivery or when delivery is first attempted but cannot be made due to a change of address for which no notice is given.
ARTICLE 23
RULES AND REGULATIONS
All Tenant Parties shall observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations as set forth on Schedule "E" annexed hereto and made a part hereof, which Rules and regulations may be supplemented or amended, from time to time. Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to adopt additional Rules and Regulations and to amend the Rules and Regulations then in effect; provided, however, that such additional Rules and Regulations shall not adversely affect Tenant's rights or obligations hereunder, other than to a de minimis extent, and provided, further that in the event of any conflict between such additional Rules and Regulations and the terms of this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall prevail. Nothing contained in this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease against any other tenant at the Buildings, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, visitors or licensees, provided that Landlord shall enforce any of the Rules and Regulations against Tenant in a non-discriminatory fashion.
ARTICLE 24
BROKER
Landlord has retained Landlord's Agent as leasing agent in connection with this Lease and Landlord will be solely responsible for any fee that may be payable to Landlord's Agent. Landlord agrees to pay a commission ("Tenant's Broker's Commission") to Tenant's Broker pursuant to a separate agreement (the "Brokerage Agreement"). Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor its agents have dealt with any broker in connection with this Lease other than Landlord's Agent and Tenant's Broker. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree to indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other harmless from and against any and all Losses which the other may incur by reason of the above representation made by the indemnifying party being false.
ARTICLE 25
INDEMNITY
Section 25.1 Tenant's Indemnity. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the Premises or the Building which may subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility to a third party for injury, damages to persons or property or to
74
any liability by reason of any violation of any Requirement, and shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to exercise such control over the Premises as to fully protect Landlord against any such liability. Subject to the mutual waivers set forth in Section 11.2, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord and each of the Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses, resulting from any third party claims (i) against the Indemnitees arising from any negligence or willful misconduct of any Tenant Parties or, (ii) against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any person and occurring in or about the Premises, except to the extent attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, or its employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees (collectively, "Landlord Parties"), or (iii) against the Indemnitees resulting from any breach, violation or nonperformance of any covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be fulfilled, kept, observed or performed. Nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to make Tenant liable for any occurrence that is covered by any property insurance policy that this Lease requires Tenant or Landlord to obtain. Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of all claims against Landlord for which Tenant has an indemnification obligation; (a) Tenant shall have the right to assume the entire control of the defense thereof and Landlord shall cooperate therewith (b) not settle any such claims without the consent of Tenant; and (c) Landlord shall be defended by counsel designated by Tenant's insurance carrier or reasonably chosen by Tenant. The provisions set forth in this Section 25.1 shall not be deemed to impose any indemnification obligations or liabilities for any Losses other than those directly related to the Premises or this Lease and, in no event, shall Tenant be liable to Landlord or anyone claiming through or under Landlord for consequential or punitive damages.
Section 25.2 Landlord's Indemnity. Subject to the mutual waivers set forth in Section 11.2, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant and Tenant Parties from and against all Losses incurred by Tenant arising from and to the extent attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of this Lease by, Landlord or any Landlord Parties and, in no event, shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or anyone claiming through or under Tenant for consequential or punitive damages.
Section 25.3 Defense and Settlement. If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against any Indemnitee, for which the provisions of Section 25.1 or 25.2 apply, then upon demand by an Indemnitee, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnitee's name (if necessary), by attorneys approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (attorneys for Tenant's or Landlord's insurer, as the case may be, shall be deemed approved for purposes of this Section 25.3). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee may retain, at its own expense, its own attorneys to participate or assist in defending any claim, action or proceeding involving potential liability in excess of the amount available under Tenant's liability insurance carried under Section 11.1 for such claim. If Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, fails to diligently defend or if there is a legal conflict or other conflict of interest, then Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, may retain separate counsel at the other party's expense. Notwithstanding anything herein
75
contained to the contrary, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, may direct the Indemnitee to settle any claim, suit or other proceeding provided that (a) such settlement shall involve no obligation on the part of the Indemnitee, (b) any payments to be made pursuant to such settlement shall be paid in full exclusively by the indemnitor at the time such settlement is reached, (c) such settlement shall not require the Indemnitee to admit any liability, and (d) the Indemnitee shall have received an unconditional release from the other parties to such claim, suit or other proceeding.
ARTICLE 26
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 26.1 Delivery. This Lease shall not constitute an offer and shall not bind the parties hereto in any manner whatsoever until (a) Tenant has duly executed and delivered duplicate counterparts to Landlord, and (b) Landlord has executed and delivered one fully executed counterpart to Tenant. This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 26.2 Transfer of Real Property. Landlord's obligations under this Lease shall not be binding upon the Landlord named herein after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer (collectively, a "Transfer") by such Landlord (or upon any subsequent landlord after the Transfer by such subsequent landlord) of its interest in the Buildings, and in the event of any such Transfer, Landlord (and any such subsequent landlord) shall be entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder arising from and after the date of Transfer, but only from and after the date that the transferee of Landlord's interest (or that of such subsequent landlord) in the Buildings, shall have assumed in writing, in a document delivered to Tenant, all obligations under this Lease arising from and after the date of Transfer, and responsibility for any security deposit or letter of credit posted by Tenant under this Lease.
Section 26.3 Limitation on Liability. The liability of Landlord for Landlord's obligations under this Lease shall be limited to Landlord's interest in the Buildings and Tenant shall not look to any other property or assets of Landlord or the property or assets of any direct or indirect partner, member, manager, shareholder, director, officer, principal, employee or agent of Landlord (collectively, the "Parties") in seeking either to enforce Landlord's obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord's failure to perform such obligations; and none of the Parties shall be personally liable for the performance of Landlord's obligations under this Lease.
Section 26.4 Entire Document. This Lease (including any Exhibits referred to herein and all supplementary agreements provided for herein) contains the entire agreement between the parties and all prior negotiations and agreements are merged into this Lease.

Section 26.6 Unenforceability.

Section 26.7 Lease Disputes. (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided that any dispute hereunder may be submitted for resolution by either party to arbitration, the parties agree that all disputes arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating to this Lease, and all actions to enforce this Lease, shall be dealt with and adjudicated in the state courts of the State of New York or the federal courts for the Southern District of New York and for that purpose hereby expressly and irrevocably submits itself to the jurisdiction of such courts. Tenant agrees that so far as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or action, other than service of process in one of the manners specified in this Lease, or as otherwise permitted by law, shall be necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon it in any such court.
(b) To the extent that Tenant has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, Tenant irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Lease.
Section 26.8 Landlord's Agent. Unless Landlord delivers notice to Tenant to the contrary, Landlord's Agent is authorized to act as Landlord's agent in connection with the performance of this Lease, and Tenant shall be entitled to rely upon correspondence received from Landlord's Agent. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's Agent is acting solely as agent for Landlord in connection with the foregoing; and neither Landlord's Agent nor any of its direct or indirect partners, members, managers, officers, shareholders, directors, employees, principals, agents or representatives shall have any liability to Tenant in connection with the performance of this Lease, and Tenant waives any and all claims against any and all of such parties arising out of, or in any way connected with, this Lease, or the Buildings.

SECURITY
Section 27.1 Tenant shall, upon Tenant's execution of this Lease, deliver to Landlord a clean, irrevocable and unconditional letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit"), in the amount stated in Article 1, as a security deposit for the performance by Tenant of the provisions of this Lease. It is expressly understood and agreed that the aforesaid security deposit is not an advance rental deposit and may not be applied to the last month's minimum rent, nor is the security deposit a measure of Landlord's damages in the event of Tenant's default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon Tenant's execution of this Lease, in lieu of the Letter of Credit, Tenant may deposit cash security with Landlord in an equivalent amount on a temporary basis until such time as Tenant has obtained the Letter of Credit. Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Letter of Credit as expeditiously as possible following the execution of this Lease, and contemporaneous with the delivery of same to Landlord, Landlord shall return the cash security to Tenant.
Section 27.2 The Letter of Credit shall:
(i) be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "G" and made a part hereof.
(ii) be addressed to Landlord.
(iii) be issued in a form and substance acceptable to Landlord by a federally insured financial institution which is acceptable to Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion, with minimum assets of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000.00) (the "Minimum Assets"), with either a location in New York City where such letter of credit can be presented, or otherwise specifically provide that the letter of credit can be presented by facsimile. Landlord hereby approves Silicon Valley Bank as an issuing bank for the Letter of Credit.
(iv) be freely transferable without fee to Landlord or approval of the issuer, and Tenant shall: (x) cooperate with Landlord in obtaining an amendment or replacement of the Letter of Credit to reflect any such change in beneficiary under the Letter of Credit; and (y) pay the cost thereof to the extent the issuer charges for such change in beneficiary.
80
(v) be for a term of one (1) year, subject to automatic one (1) year extensions so that the Letter of Credit is in effect until a date which is at least sixty (60) days after the scheduled Expiration Date, as same may be extended. Tenant shall, on or before the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such Letter of Credit, deliver to Landlord a new Letter of Credit satisfying the foregoing requirements in lieu of the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord. If the issuer of such existing or new Letter of Credit provides notice of its election to not renew such Letter of Credit for any additional period, Tenant shall be required to deliver a new Letter of Credit on or before the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord. If neither a new Letter of Credit nor a renewal of the Letter of Credit is timely delivered to Landlord, then Landlord may (without prejudicing any other right or remedy available to Landlord) draw down the entire Letter of Credit and, until Tenant delivers to Landlord the new Letter of Credit as required by this Lease hold the drawn cash as a Security Deposit pursuant to this Lease.
(vi) be replaced by a new Letter of Credit if the issuing financial institution: (A) has assets which fall below the Minimum Assets; (B) enters into any form of regulatory or governmental proceeding, including, without limitation, any receivership instituted or commenced by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"); (C) is otherwise declared insolvent, is downgraded by the FDIC, or closes for any reason; (D) intentionally omitted; or (E) in any manner communicates (including, without limitation, communications sent by or on behalf of the FDIC) its unwillingness to honor the terms of the Letter of Credit. If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord the replacement Letter of Credit within ten (10) Business Days following Landlord's written demand for same, Landlord shall be entitled to draw down the entire Letter of Credit and, until Tenant delivers to Landlord the replacement Letter of Credit as required by this Lease, hold the drawn cash as a Security Deposit pursuant to this Lease.
(vii) Following a draw by Landlord under the Letter of Credit, at Landlord's election: (A) be replaced by Tenant within fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice from Landlord by a new Letter of Credit in the Minimum Amount, in which event the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord shall be terminated; or (B) be augmented by Tenant within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Landlord by an additional Letter of Credit in the amount of a partial draw (the "Additional Letter of Credit") subject to the requirements set forth above, in which event the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord and Additional Letter of Credit shall both be held by Landlord. If Tenant is not able to furnish either of the foregoing within said ten (10) or fifteen (15) Business Day period, as the case may be, then Tenant may deposit a cash security in an equivalent amount pending obtaining such new Letter of Credit or Additional Letter of Credit, which Tenant shall continuously and diligently pursue.
Section 27.3 In the event Tenant defaults beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure period in respect of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent,
81
Landlord may apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any Fixed Rent and Additional Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend by reason of Tenant's default hereunder. If Landlord applies or retains any part of the Security Deposit so deposited, Tenant, within five (5) Business Days of demand, shall deposit with Landlord the amount (i.e., which may be in cash pending obtaining a Letter or Credit or Additional Letter of Credit that Tenant shall continuously and diligently pursue) so applied or retained so that Landlord shall have the full Security Deposit on hand at all times during the Lease Term. In addition to the foregoing, in the event of a termination of this Lease based upon the default of Tenant, or a rejection of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, Landlord shall have the right to retain the Security Deposit to cover the full amount of damages and other amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. Any amounts so retained by Landlord shall, at Landlord's election, be applied first to any unpaid rent and other charges that were due prior to the filing of the petition for protection under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees not to oppose, contest or otherwise interfere with any attempt by Landlord to draw down from said Letter of Credit (and/or Additional Letter of Credit) including, without limitation, by commencing an action seeking to enjoin or restrain Landlord from making such draw.
Section 27.4 In the event of a sale of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the vendee or lessee and, Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such Security Deposit; and Tenant agrees to look to the new Landlord solely for the return of said Security Deposit, and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new Landlord. Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
Section 27.5 Tenant covenants that it will not assign or encumber, or attempt to assign or encumber, the Letter of Credit deposited hereunder as security, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance.
Section 27.6 The use of security, as provided in this Article, shall not be deemed or construed as a waiver of Tenant's default or as a waiver of any other rights and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under the provisions of this Lease by reason of such default, it being intended that Landlord's rights to use the whole or any part of the security shall be in addition to but not in limitation of any such other rights and remedies; and Landlord may exercise any of such other rights and remedies independent of or in conjunction with its rights under this Article.
Section 27.7 Within sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date and the vacation of the Premises by Tenant and delivery of the Premises to Landlord in substantially the condition required hereunder, the Letter of Credit or such part thereof that has not been applied to cure any defaults, shall be returned to Tenant.
82
Section 27.8 Tenant shall furnish to Landlord as soon as practicable after the end of Tenant's fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, and in any event within one hundred and fifty (150) days thereafter, financial statements of Tenant, for such year, setting forth in such reasonable detail so that Landlord can readily confirm whether or not the Financial Test has been satisfied for the such fiscal year. If Tenant fails to satisfy the Financial Test for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, then the amount of security required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder shall be increased by an amount equal to Two Million Six Hundred Seventy Thousand Three Hundred Thirty and 00/100 ($2,670,330.00) Dollars (the "Increased Security Amount") so that total security deposit hereunder shall total $8,010,991.00, and Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit (or an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit) within ten (10) Business Days following the date that it is determined that the Financial Test was not so satisfied. If at any time following an increase in the Letter of Credit required hereunder resulting from Tenant's failure to satisfy the Financial Test, Tenant thereafter satisfies the Financial Test, then within ten (10) days following the date on which Tenant furnishes Landlord with Tenant's financial statements evidencing that the Financial Test has been satisfied, the security required hereunder shall be reduced to the amount originally required hereunder (i.e., $5,340,661.00) for the remainder of the Term.

Landlord has prior to the date hereof submitted its preliminary application for the ICAP to the appropriate governmental authority.

(i) Tenant shall have no further right to extend or renew the term of this Lease except as expressly provided in this Article 31.
87
(ii) The Fixed Rent for a Renewal Term shall be an amount equal to the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises for which Tenant desires to renew the Term, as of the date of the Renewal Notice. For purposes herein "Fair Market Rental Value for the upcoming Renewal Term for the Premises" shall mean the fair market rental value of the applicable Renewal Term for the applicable space based on comparable space for a comparable term in Comparable Buildings as of the date of the Renewal Notice, and shall take into account all relevant factors.
Section 31.3 Within fifteen (15) days immediately following the delivery of a Renewal Notice by Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord's proposed Fair Market Rental Value for the upcoming Renewal Term for the Premises ("Landlord's Response Notice"), which Landlord's Response Notice shall include the computation of the Fair Market Rental Value for the upcoming Renewal Term for the Premises ("Landlord's Proposal"), determined as of the date of Landlord's Response Notice, determined either on a Net Rental Basis or Gross Rental Basis (as each such term is hereinafter defined), in Landlord's sole discretion. For purposes of this Lease, (i) Gross Rental Basis shall mean the Fair Market Rental Value for the upcoming Renewal Term for the Premises, on a rentable square foot basis, in an amount equal to (i) the amount of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, payable by Tenant during the applicable Renewal Term, plus (ii) the amount of any free rent that Tenant is entitled to during the applicable Renewal Term, plus (iii) the amount of any tenant improvement allowance, which Tenant is entitled to during the applicable Renewal Term; on a per rentable per square foot basis (collectively, "Leasing Incentives"), and Net Rental Basis shall mean the Gross Rental Basis for the applicable Renewal Term, on a rentable square foot basis, less an amount equal to the Leasing Incentives amortized over the Renewal Term, on a rentable square foot basis, for the applicable Renewal Term.

Should Tenant fail to timely deliver Tenant's Response Notice to Landlord as provided above, Tenant shall be deemed to not have accepted the terms contained in Landlord's Response Notice. In the event Landlord's Proposal and Tenant's Proposal differ, and the parties fail to agree on the Fair Market Rental Value for the upcoming Renewal Term for the Premises, as of the date of the Renewal Notice, within the two hundred seventy (270) days immediately preceding the Expiration Date or the expiration date of the applicable Renewal Term, as the case may be (the "Renewal Term Negotiation Period"), then in such event, the Fair Market Rental Value for the upcoming Renewal Term for the Premises shall be determined by either Landlord or Tenant submitting such dispute to arbitration, which arbitration shall be conducted in the manner provided in Article 32, and the results of such arbitration shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.
88
Section 31.5 If, for any reason the Fair Market Rental Value for a Renewal Term for the Premises shall not be determined prior to the commencement of such Renewal Term, Tenant, in the meantime, shall pay the monthly installments of Fixed Rent at the then rate payable in the last month of the term immediately preceding the commencement of such Renewal Term. If, the Fair Market Rental Value for a Renewal Term for the Premises as determined by arbitration shall be greater or less than such amount, then within twenty (20) Business Days immediately following the date of the arbitrators decision, the difference between the monthly installments for Fixed Rent actually paid and the monthly installments for Fixed Rent which should have been paid from the commencement of such Renewal Term shall be equitably adjusted and paid by Tenant to Landlord (or credited by Landlord towards Tenant's future monthly installments of Fixed Rent), and thereafter Tenant shall pay the monthly installments of Fixed Rent at the new rate.
Section 31.6 Following the determination of Fair Market Rental Value for a Renewal Term for the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall each execute an agreement amending this Lease to reflect the foregoing, but the provisions of this Article 31 shall be effective with respect to the applicable Renewal Term effective from the commencement of such Renewal Term, whether or not such an amendment is executed.
Section 31.7 The provisions of this Article 31 shall apply only to and may only be exercised by a Permitted Tenant.

arbitrators, Landlord and Tenant shall attend a hearing before the arbitrators at which hearing each party shall simultaneously submit such party's previously delivered (or deemed delivered) Proposals. The arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days immediately following such hearing and submission of evidence with respect to (1) the Fair Market Rental Value of a Renewal Term for the Premises, render their decision by selecting either: (a) the Fair Market Rental Value for the upcoming Renewal Term for the Premises set forth in the Proposal submitted by Landlord, or (b) the Fair Market Rental Value for the upcoming Renewal Term for the Premises set forth in the Proposal submitted by Tenant; which, in the judgment of the arbitrators, most nearly reflects the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises for such Renewal Term for the Premises, and (2) the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space, render their decision by selecting either: (c) the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space set forth in the proposal submitted by Landlord, or (d) or the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space set forth in the proposal submitted by Tenant; which, in the judgment of the arbitrators, most nearly reflects the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space, and (3) the ROFO Space Rental Value, render their decision by selecting either: (e) the ROFO Space Rental Value set forth in the proposal submitted by Landlord, or (f) the ROFO Space Rental Value set forth in the proposal submitted by Tenant; which, in the judgment of the arbitrators, most nearly reflects the ROFO Space Rental Value. The arbitrators shall have no power or authority to select any Fair Market Rental Value for a Renewal Term for the Premises, or any Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space, or any ROFO Space Rental Value, as the case may be, other than the Fair Market Rental Value for a Renewal Term for the Premises as set forth in the Proposal submitted by Landlord or Tenant Proposal, or any Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space other than the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space as set forth in the Proposal submitted by Landlord or Tenant, or any ROFO Space Rental Value other than as set forth in the Proposal submitted by Landlord or Tenant, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The term "Proposal" shall mean, Landlord's or Tenant's, as the case may be, determination of Fair Market Value, Fair Market Value of the 4th Floor Option Space and/or ROFO Space Rental Value (collectively, "FMV Determinations"), as the case may be, that is submitted to arbitration in accordance with this Section 32.1; it being understood and agreed that neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be bound by, nor shall any reference be made to, any prior submission to each other respecting the FMV Determinations. For example, and without limitation, with respect to the Fair Market Rental Value for a Renewal Term, Landlord's Proposal as set forth in Section 31.3, and Tenant's Proposal set forth in Section 31.4, shall be disregarded.
ARTICLE 33
OPTIONS TO EXPAND
Section 33.1 So long as Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, is then in occupancy of at least five (5) full floors of the Premises, both on the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date (as hereinafter defined) and on the date on which Landlord is to
90
deliver 4th Floor Option Notice (as hereinafter defined), Permitted Tenant, shall have a one (1) time option to lease: (i) the entire 4th floor at the Prospect Street Building (the "4th Floor Option Space"), at any time between March 1, 2020 and March 1, 2022 (the "Delivery Window") for a lease term which shall be coterminous with the Premises (the "4th Floor Expansion Option"). Landlord shall provide Tenant with twelve (12) months prior notice of the 4th Floor Expansion Space Inclusion Date (the "4th Floor Option Notice"), which 4th Floor Option Notice shall state: (i) The rentable square feet comprising the 4th Floor Option Space, (ii) Landlord's reasonable estimation of the date that the 4th Floor Option Space will be available for Tenant's occupancy (the "4th Floor Option Space Occupancy Date"), which date shall be within the Delivery Window, and (iii) Landlord's reasonable determination of the fair market value rent for the 4th Floor Option Space prevailing as of the date of 4th Floor Option Notice ("Landlord's 4th Floor Option Space Proposal"), which fair market value shall take into account the provisions of Section 33.2 (a) and (e) below (the "Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space"). Tenant shall have thirty (30) days immediately following the date that Landlord delivers to Tenant the 4th Floor Option Notice, to exercise the 4th Floor Expansion Option for the 4th Floor Option Space, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, by giving notice thereof to Landlord ("Tenant's 4th Floor Option Space Acceptance Notice"), which notice shall include Tenant's proposed determination of the minimum amount of the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space, as of the date of the 4th Floor Option Notice ("Tenant's 4th Floor Option Space Proposal"). In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space, determined as of the date of the 4th Floor Option Notice, within two hundred seventy (270) days immediately preceding the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date (the "4th Floor Option Space Negotiation Period"), then in such event, the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space shall be determined by either Landlord or Tenant submitting such dispute together with both Landlord's 4th Floor Option Space Proposal and Tenant's 4th Floor Option Space Proposal to arbitration, which arbitration shall be conducted in the manner provided in Article 32, and the results of such arbitration shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If for any reason such Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space shall not be determined prior to the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date (as hereinafter defined), from and after the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date Tenant shall pay the monthly installments of Fixed Rent for the 4th Floor Option Space at the rate per square foot then payable by Tenant for the Premises hereunder. If the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space shall be greater or less than the amount paid by Tenant for the 4th Floor Option Space following the Option Space Inclusion Date, then within twenty (20) Business Days after the arbitrator's decision, the difference between the monthly installments for Fixed Rent which was paid as compared to what should have been paid based on the arbitrator's decision from the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date shall be equitably adjusted and paid by Tenant to Landlord (or credited by Landlord towards Tenant's future monthly installments of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent) and thereafter Tenant shall pay the monthly installments of the new Fixed Rent.
Section 33.2 Tenant shall take possession of the 4th Option Space and Landlord shall deliver possession thereof to Tenant on the later of the 4th Floor Option Space
91
Occupancy Date and the actual date on which Landlord shall have delivered such 4th Floor Option Space to Tenant vacant and in broom clean condition (the "4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date"). Promptly after the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Commencement Letter with respect to the 4th Floor Option Space, setting forth the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date and the Expiration Date. From and after the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date such 4th Floor Option Space shall automatically be deemed added to and made part of the Prospect Street Premises upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions as are contained in this Lease (except those which by their terms are no longer applicable), except as follows:
(a) Tenant agrees to accept possession of the 4th Floor Option Space in its then "As Is," vacant and broom clean condition, and Landlord shall not be required to do any work therein to prepare the same for Tenant's occupancy on, or prior to, the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date, or to provide any Landlord Contribution in connection therewith. For purposes of clarification, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that determination of the Fair Market Rental Value of the 4th Floor Option Space shall not take into account any tenant improvement allowance for such space, nor any offset right in connection any tenant improvement allowance for such space.
(b) Intentionally Omitted.
(c) In the Basic Lease Provisions (Article 1), with respect to the Option Space only, the term "Tenant's Proportionate Share" for Taxes shall be the percentage that the rentable square feet of the 4th Floor Option Space bears to the agreed upon area of the Prospect Street Building.
(d) Tenant shall have right to proportionately increase the amount of condenser water delivered to the Prospect Street Premises, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.9, based on the amount of rentable square feet in the 4th Floor Option Space to then rentable square footage of the Prospect Street Building.
(e) Tenant shall not be entitled to any Landlord Contribution or improvement allowances or rent concessions.
Section 33.3 If Landlord is unable to give Tenant possession of the 4th Floor Option Space on the 4th Floor Option Space Occupancy Date because of the holding-over of a tenant in such premises, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for failure to give possession on the 4th Floor Option Space Occupancy Date, but the 4th Floor Option Space Inclusion Date shall not be deemed to have occurred for any purpose whatsoever until the date that Landlord shall actually deliver possession of the 4th Floor Option Space to Tenant in accordance with this Lease. In any event, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute holdover proceedings or such other legal proceedings as may be required in order to obtain prompt possession of the 4th floor Option Space as promptly thereafter as may be practical. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord is unable to give possession of the 4th Floor Option Space to Tenant by the date that is eight (8) months after the 4th Floor Option
92
Space Occupancy Date, then Tenant shall have the right to elect, by notice delivered to Landlord at any time prior to the date Landlord delivers possession of the 4th Floor Option Space to Tenant, to rescind Tenant's 4th Floor Option Space Acceptance Notice, in which event such notice shall be rendered void ab initio and Tenant shall have no obligation to lease the 4th Floor Option Space pursuant to this Article 33.
Section 33.4 The provisions of this Article 33 shall apply only to and may only be exercised by a Permitted Tenant.
ARTICLE 34
INITIAL RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER FOR THE 2ND AND 3RD FLOOR SPACE AT THE PROSPECT STREET BUILDING
So long as Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period both on the date of the 2nd/3rd Floor Availability Notice and on the 2nd/3rd Floor Occupancy Date (as each such term is hereinafter defined), if at any time during the Term, as the same may be extended, Landlord receives an offer from an independent third party to lease a portion of the 2nd floor, or a portion of the 3rd floor, or the entire 2nd floor, or the entire 3rd floor, or the entire 2nd and the entire 3rd floor as single unit at the Prospect Street Building (the "2nd/ 3rd Floor Space") prior to the initial leasing thereof, Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days from the date of its receipt of such offer, give notice (the "2nd/3rd Floor Availability Space Notice") to Tenant that the 2nd/3rd Floor Space is available for lease by Tenant (the "Initial 2nd/3rd Floor Space Right of First Offer"). The 2nd/3rd Floor Availability Space Notice shall state (i) the number of rentable square feet comprising the 2nd/3rd Floor Space, which rentable square footage shall be calculated in the same manner that the rentable square footage of the Premises was calculated as of the date hereof, and (ii) the date that Landlord anticipates that the 2nd/3rd Floor Space shall be available for Tenant's occupancy (the "2nd/3rd Floor Occupancy Date"), which 2nd/3rd Floor Occupancy Date shall not be less than thirty (30) days immediately following the date that the 2nd/3rd Floor Availability Space Notice was delivered to Tenant, and (iii) Landlord's reasonable determination of the Fair Market Value Rent (as hereinafter defined) for the 2nd/3rd Floor Space, determined as of the date of the 2nd/3rd Floor Availability Space Notice, either on a Net Rental Basis or a Gross Rental Basis, in Landlord's sole discretion. Tenant shall then have a one (1) time right (subject to the provisions of Article 35) to lease only the entire 2nd/3rd Floor Space which is the subject to the 2nd/3rd Floor Availability Space Notice, by giving Landlord notice of its election to do so (the "2nd/3rd Floor Exercise Notice"), within ten (10) Business Days from the date that Landlord delivers to Tenant the 2nd/3rd Floor Availability Notice, with TIME OF THE ESSENCE; provided, that such 10-Business Day period shall be tolled during the duration of any cure period available to Tenant to remedy a monetary or material non-monetary default, if any, after notice Tenant's 2nd/3rd Floor Exercise Notice shall state that Tenant desires to lease the 2nd/3rd Floor Space in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the 2nd/3rd Floor Availability Notice including, without limitation, the Fair Market Value Rent for the 2nd Floor/3rd Floor Space set forth therein. In the event
93
Landlord does not receive the 2nd/ 3rd Floor Exercise Notice within the foregoing ten (10) Business Day period, then Landlord may lease the 2nd/3rd Floor Space that was the subject of the 2nd/3rd Floor Availability Notice to any other party upon such terms and conditions as Landlord may desire in its sole discretion; it being understood and agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and by way of example, if the subject of the 2nd/3rd Floor Availability Notice consisted of only the 2nd floor, that Tenant's option under this Article 34 would continue to apply to the 3rd floor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 34, no 2nd/3rd Floor Exercise Notice shall be effective and binding on Landlord if there are less than eighteen (18) months then remaining in the Term, as the same may be extended. Provided, however, if there are less than thirty-six (36) months, but more than eighteen (18) months, then remaining in the Term, as the same may be extended, then simultaneously with Tenant's giving the 2nd/3rd Floor Exercise Notice, Tenant must simultaneously exercise the Renewal Option set forth in Section 31.1 (i)(x), (either, for the first five (5) year Renewal Term, or for the second five (5) year Renewal Term set forth in said subsection, if Tenant had previously exercised its option in said Section for the first five (5) year Renewal Term) for Tenant's 2nd/3rd Floor Exercise Notice to be valid.
ARTICLE 35
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER FOR THE 2ND, 3RD, 7TH, 8TH, 9TH AND 10TH FLOORS AT THE PROSPECT STREET BUILDING
Section 35.1 (a) So long as Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed after notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, is then in occupancy of at least five (5) full floors of the Premises, both at on the date of the ROFO Space Availability Notice and on the ROFO Occupancy Date (as each such term is hereinafter defined), if at any time during the Term, as the same may be extended, Landlord anticipates that all or any portion of any of the 2nd, 3rd, 7th, 8th, 9th, or 10th floors at the Prospect Street Building, either as a single unit, or in full floor increments only (the "ROFO Space"), will become vacant and available for leasing, after the initial leasing thereof, but subject to the provisions of Subsection 35.1(b) below, Landlord shall then give Tenant notice (the "ROFO Space Availability Notice"), that such ROFO Space is available for lease by Tenant, and Tenant shall have an ongoing right to lease the ROFO Space (the "Right of First Offer"), provided that any ROFO Space that Tenant desires to lease pursuant to the Right of First Offer set forth in this Article 35 shall be in full floor increments only. Any ROFO Space Availability Notice shall state (i) the number of rentable square feet comprising the ROFO Space, which rentable square footage shall be calculated in the same manner that the rentable square footage of the Premises was calculated as of the date hereof, and (ii) the date that Landlord anticipates that the ROFO Space shall be available for Tenant's occupancy (the "ROFO Space Occupancy Date"), which ROFO Space Occupancy Date shall not be less than sixty (60) days nor more than one-hundred eighty (180) days immediately following the date that the ROFO Space Availability Notice was delivered to Tenant, and (iii) Landlord's reasonable determination of the ROFO Space Rental Value (as hereinafter
94
defined) ("Landlord's ROFO Space Proposal") determined as of the date of the ROFO Space Availability Notice, either on a Net Rental Basis or a Gross Rental basis, in Landlord's sole discretion (the "ROFO Space Rental Value"). Tenant shall then have an going right to lease the ROFO Space, by giving Landlord notice (the "ROFO Exercise Notice") of its election to do so, within twenty (20) Business Days immediately following the date that Landlord delivers to Tenant's the ROFO Space Availability Notice, with TIME OF THE ESSENCE, which notice shall include Tenant's proposed determination of the ROFO Space Rental Value if different than Landlord's ROFO Space Proposal ("Tenant's ROFO Space Proposal"). If Landlord does not receive the Tenant's ROFO Space Exercise Notice within the foregoing twenty (20) Business Day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights to lease such ROFO Space in such instance, and Landlord may thereafter lease the ROFO Space to any other party upon such terms and conditions as Landlord may deem desirable, its sole discretion accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions contained in this Article 35, including Landlord's obligation to re-offer said ROFO Space to Tenant when same may after the leasing of same to a third party become available for leasing; it being understood and agreed that Tenant Right of First Offer is ongoing. In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the ROFO Space Rental Value, determined as of the date of the ROFO Space Availability Notice, within forty-five (45) days immediately following the date of the ROFO Space Availability Notice (the "ROFO Space Negotiation Period"), then the Fair Market Rental Value of the ROFO Space shall be determined by submission by either Landlord or Tenant, at any time following the expiration of the ROFO Space Negotiation Period, of both Landlord's ROFO Space Proposal and Tenant's ROFO Space Proposal to arbitration, which arbitration shall be conducted in the manner provided in Article 32, and the results of such arbitration shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If for any reason such Fair Market Rental Value of the ROFO Space shall not be determined prior to the ROFO Space Inclusion Date (as hereinafter defined), from and after the ROFO Space Inclusion Date Tenant shall pay the monthly installments of Fixed Rent for the ROFO Space at the rate per square foot then payable by Tenant for the Premises hereunder. If the Fair Market Rental Value of the ROFO Space shall be greater or less than the amount paid by Tenant for the ROFO Space following the ROFO Space Inclusion Date, then within twenty (20) Business Days after the arbitrator's decision, the difference between the monthly installments for Fixed Rent which was paid as compared to what should have been paid based on the arbitrator's decision from the ROFO Space Inclusion Date shall be equitably adjusted and paid by Tenant to Landlord (or credited by Landlord towards Tenant's future monthly installments of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent) and thereafter Tenant shall pay the monthly installments of the new Fixed Rent.
(b) Tenant's rights under this Article 35 shall only be subject to the rights of any existing tenant(s) whose premises is then part of the ROFO Space to renew or extend the term of its lease (whether pursuant to an option set forth in such lease or otherwise).
Section 35.2 (a) Tenant shall take possession of the ROFO Space, and Landlord shall deliver possession thereof to Tenant on the later of the ROFO Space Occupancy Date and the actual date on which Landlord shall have delivered such
95
space to Tenant vacant (the "Effective Date"), and from and after the Effective Date the ROFO Space shall automatically be deemed added to and made part of the Premises upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions as are contained in this Lease (except those which by their terms are no longer applicable), except as follows: Tenant agrees to accept possession of the ROFO Space in its then "As Is" condition and Landlord shall not be required to do any work therein to prepare the same for Tenant's occupancy.
(b) The amount of the Fixed Rent provided in the Basic Lease Terms shall be increased by the amount equal to the ROFO Space Rental Value. If for any reason the ROFO Space Rental Value shall not be determined prior to the Occupancy Date, Tenant, in the meantime, shall pay the monthly installments of Fixed Rent at the rate per square foot payable for Fixed Rent and said Additional Rent set forth in the ROFO Space Availability Notice. If the ROFO Space Rental Value shall be greater or less than the amount paid by Tenant for such space following the ROFO Space Occupancy Date, then within twenty (20) Business Days after the determination of the ROFO Space Rental Value, the difference between the monthly installments for Fixed Rent and Additional Rent which should have been paid from the ROFO Space Occupancy Date shall be equitably adjusted and paid by Tenant to Landlord (or credited by Landlord towards Tenant's future monthly installments of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent) and thereafter Tenant shall pay the monthly installments of the new Fixed Rent.
(c) In the Basic Lease Terms, with respect to the ROFO Space only, the term (i) "Tenant's Proportionate Share" for Taxes shall be the percentage that the number of the rentable square feet comprising the ROFO Space bears to the rentable square feet of comprising the Prospect Street Premises, and (ii) the "agreed area" of the Premises shall mean the number of rentable square feet comprising the ROFO Space.
Section 35.3 If Landlord is unable to give possession to Tenant of the ROFO Space on the ROFO Space Occupancy Date because of the holding-over of the tenant thereof, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for failure to give possession on the ROFO Space Occupancy Date, but the ROFO Space Occupancy Date shall not be deemed to have occurred for any purpose whatsoever until the date that Landlord shall actually deliver possession of the ROFO Space to Tenant. In any event, Landlord shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute holdover proceedings or such other legal proceedings as may be required in order to obtain prompt possession of the ROFO Space as promptly thereafter as may be practical. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord is unable to give possession of the ROFO Space to Tenant by the date that is nine (9) months after the ROFO Space Occupancy Date, then Tenant shall have the right to elect, by notice delivered to Landlord at any time prior to the date Landlord delivers possession of the ROFO Space to Tenant, to rescind ROFO Exercise Notice, in which event such notice shall be rendered void ab initio and Tenant shall have no obligation to lease the ROFO Space pursuant to this Article 35, unless Tenant exercises a subsequent ROFO Exercise Notice with respect to such ROFO Space.
Section 35.4 Promptly after the ROFO Space Occupancy Date with respect to the ROFO Space, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment of this Lease to
96
confirm (a) the Fixed Rent for such space, (b) Tenant's Proportionate Share for Taxes for such space, (c) the Effective Date for the commencement of the term for such space, (d) the rentable square footage of such space, and (e) such other matters as either party may reasonably request, provided, however, that the failure of either party to execute such a writing shall not vitiate the determination of any of the foregoing matters in accordance with the provisions of this Article 35.
Section 35.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 35, no Exercise Notice shall be effective and binding on Landlord if there are less than eighteen (18) months then remaining in the Term, as the same may be extended. Provided, however, if there are less than thirty-six (36) months but more than eighteen (18) months then remaining in the Term, as the same may be extended, then simultaneously with Tenant's giving the Exercise Notice, Tenant must simultaneously exercise the Renewal Option set forth in Section 31.1 (i)(x), (either, for the first five [5] year Renewal Term, or for the second five (5) year Renewal Term set forth in said subsection, if Tenant had previously exercised the Renewal for the first five [5] year Renewal Term) for Tenant's ROFO Space Exercise Notice to be valid.
Section 35.6 The provisions of this Article 35 shall apply only to and may only be exercised by a Permitted Tenant.
ARTICLE 36
TENANT'S SELF HELP RIGHTS
Section 36.1 To the extent not caused by Tenant or any of Tenant's employees, agents, contractors or other third parties under Tenant's control, if Landlord shall fail to maintain or make a material repair which is the obligation of Landlord under Section 6.1 above, and the same has or is reasonably and imminently expected to result in a material disruption to Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises and/or material damage to a material amount of Tenant's Personal Property and/or injury to persons (any of the foregoing, a "Big Problem"), Tenant shall have the right to deliver written notice thereof to Landlord (the "Initial Repair Notice"); it is being understood and agreed that the reference herein to the term "imminent" shall mean not likely to occur until shortly after the end of the cure period granted to Landlord below. The Initial Repair Notice must specifically describe Landlord's failure to so operate, maintain, repair or keep the Building in first-class condition as required in Section 6.1 above, and the Big Problem that has resulted or is imminent to occur and the action that is reasonably required of Landlord to satisfy the requirements of this Lease with respect to such failure. If, within seven (7) days (or in the case of an emergency, two (2) Business Days) immediately following Landlord's receipt of the Initial Repair Notice, Landlord fails to cure or commence to cure the items specified in the Initial Repair Notice (and diligently pursue such cure thereafter), Tenant may deliver to Landlord a second such notice ("Reminder Repair Notice"). The Reminder Repair Notice must include a copy of the Initial Repair Notice and specify that Tenant will have the rights granted under this Article 36 if Landlord fails to cure or commence to cure the specified items within five (5) days of Landlord's receipt of the Reminder Repair Notice. If Landlord fails to make
97
or commence to make (and diligently pursue to completion) the reasonably required repair or necessary action to remedy such condition within five (5) days immediately following the date that Landlord receives the Reminder Repair Notice (or in the case of an emergency, within two (2) Business Days following the date that Landlord receives the Initial Repair Notice), then Tenant may, subject to the terms of this Article 36, proceed to take the reasonably required action to remedy such condition with respect to the Premises only (solely on its own behalf and not as the agent of Landlord). Tenant may not take any actions under the terms of this Article 36 which alters or modifies the Buildings' structure, Buildings' Systems, Common Areas or exterior of the Buildings. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant's actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in taking actions under this Article 36 within thirty (30) days immediately following the date that Landlord receives an invoice from Tenant setting forth a reasonably particularized breakdown of such costs and expenses together with reasonable evidence of payment of the same. If Landlord fails to pay such monies to Tenant within the foregoing thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be entitled offset such amounts against the next installment(s) of Rent due and payable under this Lease and Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary and prior to any such offset by Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall be required to first have one meeting and discuss, in good faith, Landlord's failure to timely pay such monies to Tenant, and if Landlord shall dispute (in its sole but good faith discretion) that it owes Tenant such monies, Tenant shall not be entitled to deduct such monies from the next monthly installment(s) Rent due and payable under this Lease unless and until such dispute is resolved (pursuant to arbitration in accordance with Article 32) in Tenant's favor (and in such event such offset, if any, shall be in the amount so determined pursuant to such resolution). Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord's Indemnitees harmless against any loss, liability or damage resulting from Tenant's exercise of the self-help rights provided to Tenant in this Article 36.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of this Article 36 shall only apply from and after an Ownership Transfer. The term "Ownership Transfer" shall mean any sale that would result in the Kushner Companies or RFR Realty or any of their respective affiliates (each, a "Principal Entity") ceasing to own, directly or indirectly, collectively or individually, at least a 50% interest in either (i) Landlord or (i) the Adams Street Building.

RE: | 117 ADAMS STREET, BROOKLYN, NY | |
2013-126_MEMO: ETSY FITOUT REQUIREMENTS TO ACHIEVE ADDITIONAL BASE BUILDING LEED CREDITS |
In the major renovation of the existing building at 117 Adams Street, RFR is pursuing LEED 2009 Core and Shell certification. During a meeting on 3/28/2014 between RFR, Gensler, Etsy, VVA, and CodeGreen Solutions, the participants identified opportunities in which a collaborative approach to incorporating Etsy's fitout intent and design into the base building tenant fitout requirements could help to augment the base buildings LEED Core and Shell certification efforts. In total, a collaborative effort could enable the base building to achieve 11-12 additional LEED points. Below is an explanation of the specific credits that could be achieved through a collaborative approach, and an explanation of what would be required of RFR and/or Etsy. The following pages shows the project's LEED scorecard, identifying the in a column labeled "Etsy" these points.
Sustainable Sites
SSc4.2 Alternative Transportation Bicycle Storage and Changing Rooms
RFR to dedicate a specified number of bicycle storage spaces (5% of peak occupancy) for Etsy's use. Etsy to provide water efficient (1.5 GPM or lower) showering facilities to serve 0.5% of the FTE occupants. Etsy to provide tenant fitout scope of work / requirement that RFR will incorporate into the base building's tenant fitout requirements.
SSc7.2 Heat Island Effect Roof
Etsy to refinish 75% or more of the roof area with material/paint that has an Solar Reflectance Index of 78 or higher.
OR
Etsy to install vegetation for 50% or more of the roof area.
Water Efficiency
WEc3 Water Use Reduction
Etsy to install highly water-efficient plumbing fixtures (0.125 GPM urinals, 1.28 GPF or lower WC's, 1.5 GPM or lower showerheads, 0.5 GPM lavatory faucets with 12 second timer, and 1 GPM or lower pantry faucets.) Etsy to provide tenant fitout scope of work / requirement that RFR will incorporate into the base building's tenant fitout requirements.
Energy & Atmosphere
EAc1 Optimize Energy Performance*
Etsy to adopt policy of limiting installed lighting power density (LPD) that is 30-40% below the allowable values in ASHRAE 90.1-2007. Etsy to install daylight controls for all lighting within 15-20 feet of windows and under skylights (if applicable). Etsy to install occupancy controls for over 75% of the connected lighting load. Etsy to provide tenant fitout scope of work / requirement that RFR will incorporate into the base building's tenant fitout requirements.
* | While these measures will help to improve the building's energy performance, it is possible that these measures may not reduce energy consumption enough to achieve 1 additional point. |
