If, due to any change in the method of taxation, any franchise, income, profit, sales, rental, use and occupancy or other tax shall be substituted for, or levied against Landlord or any owner of the Real Property, in lieu of or in addition to any real estate taxes or assessments upon or with respect to the Real Property, such tax shall be included in the term Taxes for the purposes of this Article. (C) The term "Landlord's Base Tax Liability" shall mean a sum equal to Taxes paid by Owner for the fiscal tax year beginning on July 1, 1994 and ending on June 30, 1995, which fiscal tax year is referred to herein as the "Base Tax Year".

Section 80.02(A) If Taxes payable in any Tax Escalation Year shall be in such amount as shall constitute an increase above Landlord's Base Tax Liability, then, subject to any "Tenant Tax Escalation Credit" as determined by the provisions of Subsection (C) of this Section 80.02, the Fixed Rent for such Tax Escalation Year shall be increased by a sum equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of any such increase in Taxes. (B) Unless the Demised Term shall expire on a June 30th, any increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to the provisions of said Subsection (A) for the Tax Escalation Year in which the date of the expiration of the Demised Term shall occur shall be apportioned in that percentage which the number of days in the period from July 1st of such Tax Escalation Year to such date of expiration, both inclusive, shall bear to the total number of days in such Tax Escalation Year.

The amount of such credit to which Tenant shall be entitled under the provisions of this Subsection (C) is referred to herein as "Tenant's Tax Escalation Credit"). Subject to the provisions of the next following sentence, the amount of such Tenant's Tax Escalation Credit shall be cumulative for each Tax Escalation Year after the Base Tax Year in which Taxes payable by Landlord are less then Landlord's Base Tax Liability.

Tenant's Tax Escalation Credit may only be applied against increases in Fixed Rent on account of increases in Taxes in accordance with the provisions of this Article 80 and shall not be applied or used as a credit against the payment of Fixed Rent or any other sums due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease. In calculating any Tenant's Tax Escalation Credit under the provisions of this Subsection (C) the term Taxes for any Tax Escalation Year shall include Tenant's Proportionate Share of all costs and expenses, including counsel fees, paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with any application, proceeding or action to cause such decrease in Taxes provided that such counsel fees shall not be in excess of one third (1/3) of the amount of such decrease in Taxes. Examples of the operation of this Subsection (C) and the following Subsection (D) are provided in Schedule A annexed to and made a part hereof.

The amount to which Tenant shall be entitled under the provisions of this Subsection (D) is sometimes referred to herein as "Tenant's Tax Escalation Refund"). However, the amount of Tenant's Tax Escalation Refund may only be used once so that if all or portion of Tenant's Tax Escalation Refund is applied as a credit against the next accruing installments of Fixed Rent under the provisions of this Article 80 the amount of the credit so used shall not be applied as a credit against further installments of Fixed Rent and Tenant's Tax Escalation Refund shall be appropriately reduced by the amount so used as such credit. In calculation any Tenant's Tax Escalation Credit under the provisions of this Subsection (D) the term Taxes for any Tax Escalation Year shall include Tenant's Proportionate Share of all costs and expenses, including counsel fees, paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with any application, proceeding or action to cause such decrease in Taxes provided that such counsel fees shall not be in excess of one third (1/3) of the amount of such decrease in Taxes. In the event that Tenant's Tax Escalation Refund shall be applied as provided in this Subsection (D) by reason of such decrease in Taxes, the provisions of Subsection (C) with regard to any Tenant Tax Escalation Credit shall not be applicable. Examples of the operation of this Subsection (D) and Subsection (C) are provided in Schedule A annexed to and made a part hereof. Section 80.03.(A) Landlord shall render to Tenant, either in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 or by personal delivery at the Demised Premises, an Landlord's Tax Statement with respect to each Tax Escalation Year, either prior to or during such Tax Escalation Year. However, Landlord's failure to render an Landlord's Tax Statement with respect to any Tax Escalation Year shall not prejudice Landlord's right to recover any sums due to Landlord hereunder with respect to such Tax Escalation Year, nor shall it deprive Tenant of any credit to which it otherwise might be entitled for such Tax Escalation Year pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (D) of this Section 80.03. The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the provisions of Section 80.02 and this Section 80.03 with respect to any increase in the Fixed Rent or any credit to which Tenant may be entitled shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Demised Term. Within ten (10) days next following rendition of the first Landlord's Tax Statement which shows an increase in the Fixed Rent for any Tax Escalation Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one half (1/2) of the amount of the increase shown upon such Landlord's Tax Statement for such Tax Escalation Year (minus any monies previously paid to Landlord on account of such increase). In order to provide for current payments on account of (i) the next installment of Taxes payable by Landlord for such Tax Escalation Year, if any, and (ii) future potential increases in the Fixed Rent which may be payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (A) of Section 80.02 for future Tax Escalation Years, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord, on the first day of the calendar month next following the rendition of such Landlord's Tax Statement, a sum equal to one twelfth (1/12) of the increase in the Fixed Rent -6- <PAGE> shown upon such Landlord's Tax Statement for such Tax Escalation Year (before any apportionment pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (B) of Section 80.02) multiplied by the number of months which may have elapsed between either (x) July 1st of such Tax Escalation Year if such Landlord's Tax Statement is rendered between July 1st and December 31st of such Tax Escalation Year or (y) January 1st of such Tax Escalation Year if such Landlord's Tax Statement is rendered between January 1st and June 30th of such Tax Escalation Year and the month in which such payment is made, and (b) thereafter pay to Landlord on the first day of each month of the Demised Term (until rendition by Landlord of a new Landlord's Tax Statement) a sum equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the increase in the Fixed Rent payable pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (A) of Section 80.02 for the Tax Escalation Year with respect to which Landlord has most recently rendered an Landlord's Tax Statement (before any apportionment pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (B) of Section 80.02); each such monthly installment shall be added to and payable as part of each monthly installment of Fixed Rent. (B) Following rendition of each subsequent Landlord's Tax Statement a reconciliation shall be made as follows: Tenant shall be debited with any increase in the Fixed Rent shown upon such Landlord's Tax Statement and credited with the aggregate amount, if any, paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of Subsection (A) of this Section on account of potential future increases in the Fixed Rent pursuant to Subsection 80.02(A) which has not previously been credited against increases in the Fixed Rent shown upon Landlord's Tax Statements. Tenant shall pay any net debit balance to Landlord within ten (10) days next following rendition by Landlord, either in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 or by personal delivery at the Demised Premises of an invoice of such net debit balance; any net credit balance shall be applied as an adjustment against the next accruing monthly installment as provided in subdivision (b) of Subsection (A) of this Section 80.03. (C) Tenant acknowledges that under the present law Taxes are payable by Landlord (i) with respect to a fiscal year commencing July 1st and ending on the following June 30th and (ii) in two (2) installments, in advance, the first of which is payable on July 1st and the second and final payment of which is payable on the following January 1st. Tenant further acknowledges that it is the purpose and intent of this Section 80.03 to provide Landlord with Tenant's Proportionate Share of the increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to the provisions of Subsection (A) of Section 80.02 at or about the time such installment of Taxes is required to be paid by Landlord without penalty or interest. Accordingly, Tenant agrees that if the number of such installments, and/or the time for payment thereof, and/or the fiscal year used for purposes of Taxes, is changed, then, (a) at the time any such revised installment is payable by Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount which shall provide Landlord with the increase in the Fixed Rent pursuant to the provisions of Section 80.02(A) applicable to the revised -7- <PAGE> installment of Taxes then required to be paid by Landlord and (b) this Article shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change and the time for payment by Tenant to Landlord of Tenant's Proportionate Share of any increase in Taxes as provided in this Article shall be appropriately revised so that Landlord shall always be provided with the increase in Fixed Rent for Tenant's Proportionate Share of the increase in Taxes prior to the installment of Taxes required to be paid by Landlord. (D) (1) If, as a result of any application or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Landlord, Landlord's Base Tax Liability shall be decreased, Landlord's Tax Statement next following such decrease shall include any adjustment of Fixed Rent for all prior Tax Escalation Years reflecting a debit to Tenant equal to the amount by which (a) the aggregate Fixed Rent payable with respect to all such prior Tax Escalation Years (pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Subsection (A) of Section 80.02) based upon such reduction of Landlord's Base Tax Liability shall exceed (b) the aggregate increases in Fixed Rent actually paid by Tenant with respect to all such prior Tax Escalation Years. (2) If, as a result of any application or proceeding brought by or on behalf of Landlord for reduction of the assessed valuation of the Real Property for any fiscal tax year subsequent to the fiscal tax year commencing July 1st, 1994, and expiring June 30th, 1995, there shall be a decrease in Taxes for any Tax Escalation Year with respect to which Landlord shall have previously rendered a Landlord's Tax Statement, Landlord's Tax Statement next following such decrease shall include an adjustment of any increases in Fixed Rent for such Tax Escalation Year reflecting a credit to Tenant equal to the amount by which (i) the increases in Fixed Rent actually paid by Tenant with respect to such Tax Escalation Year (pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 80.02) less Tenant's Proportionate Share of all costs and expenses, including counsel fees, paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with such application or proceeding4, shall exceed (ii) the increases in Fixed Rent payable with respect to such Tax Escalation Year (pursuant to the operation of the provisions of Section 80.02) based upon such reduction of the assessed valuation. Section 80.04.(A) In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant arising out of any increases in Fixed Rent provisions of this Article, such dispute may, at the option of either Landlord or Tenant, be determined by arbitration in New York City in accordance with the rules and regulations then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association or its successor. Any such determination shall be final and binding upon the parties whether or not a judgment -------- 4 to the extent that such costs and expenses are not used to calculate Tenant's Tax Escalation Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 80.02 C. -8- <PAGE> shall be entered in any court. Notwithstanding any dispute and submission to arbitration, any increase in the Fixed Rent shown upon any Landlord's Tax Statement shall be payable by Tenant within the time limitation set forth in this Article. If the determination in such arbitration shall be adverse to Landlord, any amount paid by Tenant to Landlord in excess of the amount determined to be properly payable shall be credited against the next accruing installments of Fixed Rent due under this Lease. However, if there are no such installments, such amounts shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within ten (10) days following such determination. (B) The obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the provisions of this Article 80 shall survive the expiration or any sooner termination of the Demised Term. All sums payable by Tenant under this Article shall be collectible by Landlord in the same manner as Fixed Rent. SECOND: (A) This Agreement embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the transaction contemplated herein. Unless otherwise stated to the contrary, all of the capitalized terms herein shall have the same meaning attributable to them in the Lease. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or terminated and Tenant's obligations hereunder shall in no way be discharged, except by written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

This Agreement shall not be binding or effective until this Agreement is executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant and this Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
