      commencement of the lease term, if Tenant is then in possession, and at
      all times thereafter, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall
      promptly comply with all present and future laws, orders and regulations
      of all state, federal municipal and local governments, departments,
      commissions and boards and any direction of any public officer pursuant to
      law, and all orders, rules and regulations of the New York Board of Fire
      Underwriters, Insurance Services Office, or any similar body which shall
      impose any premises, whether or not arising out of Tenant's use or manner
      of use thereof, (including Tenant's permitted use) or, with respect to the
      building if arising out of Tenant's use or manner of use of the demised
      premises or the building (including the use permitted under the ease).
      Nothing herein shall require Tenant to make structural repairs or

      premises or method of operation therein, violated any such laws,
      ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or requirements with respect
      thereto. Tenant may, after securing Owner to Owner's satisfaction against
      all damages, interest, penalties and expenses, including, but not limited

      amount and in a company satisfactory to Owner. contest and appeal any such
      laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or requirements provided same
      is done with all reasonable promptness and provided such appeal shall not
      subject Owner to prosecution for a criminal offense, or constitute a
      default under any lease or mortgage under which Owner may be obligated, or
      cause the demised premises or any part thereof to be condemned or vacated.
      Tenant shall not do or permit any act or thing to be done in or to the
      demised premises which is contrary to law, or which will invalidate or be
      in conflict with public liability, fire or other policies of insurance at
      any time carried by or for the benefit of Owner with respect to the
      demised premises or the building of which the demised premises form a
      part, or which shall or might subject Owner to any liability or
      responsibility to any person, or for property damage. Tenant shall not
      keep anything in the demised premises, except as now or hereafter
      permitted by the Fire Department, Board of Fire Underwriters, Fire
      Insurance Rating Organization or other authority having jurisdiction, and
      then only in such manner and such, quantify so as not to increase the rate
      for fire insurance applicable to the building, nor use the demised
      premises in a manner which will increase the insurance rate for the
      building or any properly located therein over that in effect prior to the
      commencement of Tenant's occupancy. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses,
      fines, penalties, or damages, which may be imposed upon Owner by reason of
      Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this article, and if by

      that portion of all fire insurance premiums thereafter paid by Owner which
      shall have been charged because of such failure by Tenant. In any action
      or proceeding wherein Owner and Tenant are parties, a schedule or
      "make-up" of rate for the building or the demised premises issued by the
      New York Fire Insurance Exchange, or other body making fire insurance
      rates applicable to said premises shall be conclusive evidence of the
      facts therein stated and of the several items and charges in the fire
      insurance rates then applicable to said premises. Tenant shall not place a
      load upon any floor of the demised premises exceeding the floor load per
      square foot area which it was designed to carry and which is allowed by
      law. Owner reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all
      safes, business machines and mechanical equipment. Such installations

      sufficient in Owner's judgment to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and
      annoyance.

      consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such underlying leases
      and mortgages. This clause shall be self-operative and no further
      instrument of subordination shall be required by any ground or underlying
      lessor or by any mortgagee, affecting any lease or me real property of
      which the demised premises are a part. In confirmation of such
      subordination, Tenant shall from time to time execute promptly any

and Other

    
      	
              Casualty:

            	
              9. (a) If the demised
      premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty,
      Tenant shall give immediate notice thereof to Owner, and this lease shall
      continue in full force and effect except as hereinafter set form, (b) If
      the demised premises are partially damaged or rendered partially unusable
      by fire or other casualty, the damages thereto shall be repaired by, and
      at the expense of, Owner, and the rent and other items of additional rent
      until such repair shall be substantially completed, shall be apportioned
      from the day following the casualty, according to the part of the demised
      premises which is usable. (c) If the demised premises are totally damaged
      or rendered wholly unusable by fire or other casualty, then the rent and
      other items of additional rent, as hereinafter expressly provided, shall
      be proportionately paid up to the time of the casualty, and thenceforth
      shall cease until the date when the demised premises shall have been
      repaired and restored by Owner (or if sooner reoccupied in part by the
      Tenant then rent shall be apportioned as provided in subsection (b)
      above), subject to Owner's right to elect not to restore the same as
      hereinafter provided. (d) If the demised premises are rendered wholly
      unusable or (whether or not the demised premises are damaged in whole or
      in part) if the building shall be so damaged that Owner shall decide to
      demolish it or to rebuild it then, in any of such events, Owner may elect
      to terminate this lease by written notice to Tenant given within ninety
      (90) days after such fire or casualty, or thirty (30) days after
      adjustment of the insurance claim for such fire or casualty, whichever is
      sooner, specifying a date for the expiration of the lease, which date
      shall not be more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice,
      and upon the date specified in such notice the term of this lease shall
      expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date set forth
      above for the termination of this lease, and Tenant shall forthwith quit
      surrender and vacate the demised premises without prejudice however, to
      Landlord's rights and remedies against Tenant under the lease provisions
      in effect prior to such termination, and any rent owing shall be paid up
      to such date, and any payments of rent made by Tenant which were on
      account of any period subsequent to such date shall be returned to Tenant.
      Unless Owner shall serve a termination notice as provided for herein,
      Owner shall make the repairs and restorations under the conditions of (b)
      and (c) hereof, with all reasonable expedition, subject to delays due to
      adjustment of insurance claims, labor troubles and causes beyond Owner's
      control. After any such casualty, Tenant shall cooperate with Owner's
      restoration by removing from the demised premises as promptly as
      reasonably possible, all of Tenant's salvageable inventory and movable
      equipment furniture, and other property. Tenant's liability for rent shall
      resume five (5) days after written notice from Owner that the demised
      premises are substantially ready for Tenant's occupancy. (e) Nothing
      contained hereinabove shall relieve Tenant from liability that may exist
      as a result of damage from fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding
      anything contained to the contrary in subdivisions (a) through (e) hereof,
      including Owner's obligation to restore under subparagraph (b) above, each
      party shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any
      claim against the other party for recovery for loss or damage resulting
      from fire or other casualty, and to the extent that such insurance is in
      force and collectible, and to the extent permitted by law, Owner and
      Tenant each hereby releases and waives all right of recovery with respect
      to subparagraphs (b), (d), and (e) above, against the other, or any one
      claiming through or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise.
      The release and waiver herein referred to shall be deemed to include any
      loss or damage to the demised premises and/or to any personal property,
      equipment trade fixtures, goods and merchandise located therein. The
      foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both releasors'
      insurance policies contain a clause providing that such a release or
      waiver shall not invalidate the insurance. If, and to the extent that such
      waiver can be obtained only by the payment of additional premiums, then
      the parry benefiting from the waiver shall pay such premium within ten
      days after written demand or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party
      obtaining insurance coverage shall be free of any further obligation under
      the provisions hereof with respect to waiver of subrogation. Tenant
      acknowledges that Owner will not carry insurance on Tenant's furniture
      and/or furnishings or any fixtures or equipment improvements, or
      appurtenances removable by Tenant and agrees that Owner will not be
      obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same, (f) Tenant
      hereby waives the provisions of section 227 of the Real Property Law and
      agrees that the provisions of this article shall govern and control in
      lieu thereof. 6

              10. If the whole or any
      part of the demised premises shall be acquired or condemned by Eminent
      Domain for any public or quasi public use or purpose, then, and in that
      event the term of this lease shall cease and terminate from the date of
      title vesting in such proceeding, and Tenant shall have no claim for the
      value of any unexpired term of said lease, and assigns to Owner, Tenant's
      entire interest in any such award. Tenant shall have the right to make an
      independent claim to the condemning authority for the value of Tenant's
      moving expenses and personal property, trade fixtures and equipment
      provided Tenant is entitled pursuant to the terms of the lease to remove
      such property, trade fixtures and equipment at the end of the term, and
      provided further such claim does not reduce Owner's
  award.

      prior written consent of Owner in each instance. Transfer of the majority
      of the stock of a corporate Tenant or the majority interest in any
      partnership or other legal entity which is Tenant shall be deemed an
      assignment If this lease be assigned, or if the demised premises or any
      part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant Owner
      may, after default by Tenant collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant
      or occupant and apply the net amount collected to "the rent herein
      reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection
      shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the
      assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant or a release of Tenant from
      the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant
      herein contained The consent by Owner to an assignment or underletting
      shall not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the
      express consent in writing of Owner to any further assignment or
      underletting.

      Tenant may not use any electrical equipment which, in Owner's opinion,
      reasonably exercised, will overload such installations or interfere with
      the use thereof by other tenants of the building. The change at any time
      of the character of electric service shall in no way make Owner liable or
      responsible to Tenant for any loss, damages or expenses which Tenant may
      sustain.

            


    

    


    Access
to

    
      	
              Premises:

            	
              13. Owner or Owner's
      agents shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to enter the
      demised premises in any emergency at any time, and, at other reasonable
      times, 7
      to examine the same and to make such repairs, replacements and
      improvements as Owner may deem necessary and reasonably desirable to the
      demised premises or to any other portion of the building or which Owner
      may elect to perform. Tenant shall permit Owner to use and maintain and
      replace pipes, ducts, and conduits in and through the demised premises and
      to erect new pipes, ducts, and conduits therein, provided they are
      concealed within the walls, floor, or ceiling. 8
      Owner may, during the progress of any work in the demised premises, take
      all necessary materials and equipment into said premises without the same
      constituting an eviction, nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any
      abatement of rent while such work is in progress, nor to any damages by
      reason of loss or interruption of business or otherwise. Throughout the
      term hereof, Owner shall have the right to enter the demised premises at
      reasonable hours 9
      for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers or
      mortgagees of the building, and during the last six months of the term,
      for the purpose of showing the same to prospective tenants. If Tenant is
      not present to open and permit an entry into the demised premises, Owner
      or Owner's agents may enter the same whenever such entry may be necessary
      or permissible by master key or forcibly, and provided reasonable care is
      exercised to safeguard Tenant's property, such entry shall not render
      Owner or its agents liable therefore, nor in any event shall the
      obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected. if during the last month of
      the term Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of Tenant's
      property therefrom, Owner may immediately enter, alter, renovate or
      redecorate the demised premises without limitation or abatement of rent,
      or incurring liability to Tenant for any compensation, and such act shall
      have no effect on this lease or Tenant's obligations
      hereunder.

              14. No vaults, vault
      space or area, whether or not enclosed or covered, not within the property
      line of the building, is leased hereunder, anything contained in or
      indicated on any sketch, blue print or plan, or anything contained
      elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding. Owner makes no

      of the building, which Tenant may be permitted to use and/or occupy, is to
      be used and/or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license
      be revoked, or if the amount of such space or area be diminished or
      required by any federal, state or municipal authority or public utility,
      Owner shall not be subject to any liability, nor shall Tenant be entitled
      to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent, nor shall such
      revocation, diminution or requisition be deemed constructive or actual
      eviction. Any tax, the or charge of municipal authorities for such vault
      or area shall be paid by Tenant

            


    

    


    
      	
              Occupancy:

            	
              15. Tenant will not at
      any time use or occupy the demised premises in violation of the
      certificate of occupancy issued for the building of which the demised
      premises are apart Tenant has inspected the demised premises and accepts
      them as is, subject to the riders annexed hereto with respect to Owner's
      work, if any. In any event, Owner makes no representation as to the
      condition of the demised premises, and Tenant agrees to accept the same
      subject to violations, whether or not of record. 10

            


    

    


    
      	
              Bankruptcy:

            	
              16. (a) Anything
      elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding, this lease may be
      cancelled by Owner by the sending of a written notice to Tenant within a
      reasonable time after the happening of any one or more of the following
      events: (1) the commencement of a case in bankruptcy or under the laws of
      any state naming Tenant (or a guarantor of any of Tenant's obligations
      under this lease) as the debtor; or (2) the making by Tenant (or a
      guarantor of any of Tenant's obligations under this lease) of an
      assignment or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors under any
      state statute. Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under
      Tenant or by reason of any statute or order of court, shall thereafter be
      entitled to possession of the premises demised but shall forthwith quit
      and surrender the demised premises. If this lease shall be assigned in
      accordance with its terms, the provisions of this Article 16 shall be
      applicable only to the party then owning Tenant's interest in this
      lease.

            


    

    


    (b) It is
stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of this lease
pursuant to (a) hereof, Owner shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other
provisions of this lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as
and for liquidated damages, an amount equal to the difference between the rent
reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the term demised and the fair
and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the same period. In the
computation of such damages the difference between any installment of rent
becoming due hereunder after the date of termination, and the fair and
reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the period for which such
installment was payable, shall be discounted to the date of termination at the
rate of four percent (4%) per annum. If such demised premises or any part
thereof be re-let by the Owner for the unexpired term of said lease, or any part
thereof; before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court,
commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such re-letting shall
be deemed to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole
of the demised premises so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Nothing
herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of the Owner to prove for
and obtain as liquidated damages, by reason of such termination, an amount equal
to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when,
and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether
or not such amount be greater; equal to, or less than, the amount of the
difference referred to above.

    


    
      	
              Default:

            	
              17. (1) If Tenant
      defaults in fulfilling any of the covenants of this lease other than the
      covenants for the payment of rent or additional rent; or if the demised
      premises become vacant or deserted; or if any execution or attachment
      shall be issued against Tenant or any of Tenant's property, whereupon the
      demised premises shall be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant;
      or if this lease be rejected under §365 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code
      (Bankruptcy Code); or if Tenant shall have failed, after five (5) days
      written notice, to redeposit with Owner any portion of the security
      deposit hereunder which Owner has applied to the payment of any rent and
      additional rent due and payable hereunder, or if Tenant shall be in
      default with respect to any other lease between Owner and Tenant; or if
      Tenant shall fail to move into or take possession of the demised premises
      within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the term of this lease,
      then, in any one or more of such events, upon Owner serving a written
      11
      days notice upon Tenant specifying the nature of said default, and upon
      the expiration of said 11
      days, if Tenant shall have failed to comply with or remedy such
      default, or if the said default or omission complained of shall be of a
      nature that, the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within said
      11
      day period, and if Tenant shall not have diligently commenced
      curing such default within such 11
      day period, and shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and
      in good faith, proceed to remedy or cure such default, then Owner may
      serve a written five (5) days notice of cancellation of this lease upon
      Tenant and upon the expiration of said five (5) days this lease and the
      term thereunder shall end and expire as fully and completely as if the
      expiration of such five (5) day period were the day herein definitely
      fixed for the end and expiration of this lease and the term thereof, and
      Tenant shall then quit and surrender the demised premises to Owner, but
      Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter
  provided.

            


    

    


    (2) If
the notice provided for in (1) hereof shall have been given, and the term shall
expire as aforesaid; or if Tenant shall make default in the payment of the rent
reserved herein, or any item of additional rent , herein mentioned, or any part
of either, or in making any other payment herein required; 12
then, and in any of such events, Owner may without notice 13
re-enter the demised premises either by force or otherwise, and dispossess
Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise, and the legal representative of
Tenant or other occupant of the demised premises, and remove their effects and
hold the demised premises as if this lease had not been made, and Tenant hereby
waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal
proceedings to that end. If Tenant shall make default hereunder prior to the
date fixed as the commencement of any renewal or extension of this lease, Owner
may cancel and terminate such renewal or extension agreement by written
notice.

    


    Remedies
of

    Owner
and

    Waiver
of

    
      	
              Redemption:

            	
              18. In case of any such
      default re-entry, expiration and/or dispossess by summary proceedings or
      otherwise, (a) the rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the
      time of such re-entry, dispossess and/or expiration, (b) Owner may re-let
      the demised premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of
      Owner or otherwise, for a term or terms, which may at Owner's option be
      less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the
      balance of the term of this lease, and may grant concessions or free rent
      or charge a higher rental than that in this lease, and/or (c) Tenant or
      the legal representatives of Tenant shall also pay to Owner as liquidated
      damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform said Tenant's
      covenants herein contained, any deficiency between the rent hereby
      reserved and/or covenanted to be paid and the net amount if any, of the
      rents collected on account of the lease or leases of the demised premises
      for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the
      balance of the term of this lease. The failure of Owner to re-let the
      demised premises, or any part or parts thereof, shall not release or
      affect Tenant's liability for damages. In computing such liquidated
      damages there shall be added to the said deficiency such expenses as Owner
      may incur in connection with re-letting, such as legal expenses,
      reasonable attorney's fees, brokerage, advertising and for keeping the
      demised premises in good order or for preparing the same for re-letting.
      Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly installments by
      Tenant on the rent day specified in this lease, and any suit brought to
      collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in
      any way the rights of Owner to collect the deficiency for any subsequent
      month by a similar proceeding. Owner, in putting the demised premises in
      good order or preparing the same for re-rental may, at Owner's option,
      make such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations in the
      demised premises as Owner, in Owner's sole judgment considers advisable
      and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the demised premises, and the
      making of such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations
      shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability
      hereunder as aforesaid.14
      "Owner shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to
      re-let the demised premises, or in the event that the demised premises are
      re-let for failure to collect the rent thereof under such re-letting, and
      in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess, if any, of
      such net rents collected over the sums payable by Tenant to Owner
      hereunder. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any
      of the covenants or provisions hereof, Owner shall have the right of
      injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity
      as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not herein
      provided for. Mention in this lease of any particular remedy, shall not
      preclude Owner from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby
      expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any
      present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or
      dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Owner obtaining possession
      of the demised premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of
      the covenants and conditions of this lease, or
  otherwise.

            


    

    


    Fees
and

    
      	
              Expenses:

            	
              19. If Tenant shall
      default in the observance or performance of any term or covenant on
      Tenant's part to be observed or performed under, or by virtue of, any of
      the terms or provisions in any article of this lease, after notice, if
      required, and upon expiration of any applicable grace period, if any,
      (except in an emergency), then, unless otherwise provided elsewhere in
      this lease, Owner may immediately, or at any time thereafter and without
      notice, perform the obligation of Tenant thereunder. If Owner, in
      connection with the foregoing, or in connection with any default by Tenant
      in the covenant to pay rent hereunder, makes any expenditures or incurs
      any obligations for the payment of money, including but not limited to
      reasonable attorneys fees, in instituting, prosecuting or defending any
      action or proceeding, and prevails in any such action or proceeding, then
      Tenant will reimburse Owner for such sums so paid, or obligations
      incurred, with interest and costs. The foregoing expenses incurred by
      reason of Tenant's default shall be deemed to be additional rent
      hereunder, and shall be paid by Tenant to Owner within ten (10) days of
      rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefore. If Tenant's lease
      term shall have expired at the time of making of such expenditures or
      incurring of such obligations, such sums shall be recoverable by Owner, as
      damages.

    and

    
      	
              Management:

            	
              20. Owner shall have the
      right at any time without the same constituting an eviction and without
      incurring liability to Tenant therefore, to change the arrangement and/or
      location of public entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors,
      elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the building, and to
      change the name, number or designation by which the building may be known.
      There shall be no allowance to Tenant for diminution of rental value and
      no liability on the part of Owner by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or
      injury to business arising from Owner or other Tenants making any repairs
      in the building or any such alterations, additions and improvements.
      Furthermore, Tenant shall not have any claim against Owner by reason of
      Owner's imposition of such 15
      Controls of the manner of access to the building by Tenant's social or
      business visitors as the Owner may deem necessary for the security of the
      building and its occupants.

            


    

    


    No
Repre-

    sentations

    
      	
              Owner:

            	
              21. 16
      Neither Owner nor Owner's agents have made any representations or promises
      with respect to the physical condition of the building, the land upon
      which it is erected or the demised premises, the rents, leases, expenses
      of operation or any other matter or thing affecting or related to the
      demised premises, except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights,
      easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise,
      except as expressly set forth in the provisions of this lease. Tenant has
      inspected the building and the demised premises and is thoroughly
      acquainted with their condition and agrees to take the same "as-is", and
      acknowledges feat the taking of possession of the demised premises by
      Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the said premises and the
      building of which the same form a part were in good and satisfactory
      condition at the time such possession was so taken, except as to latent
      defects. All understandings and agreements heretofore made between the
      parties hereto are merged in this contract, which alone fully and
      completely expresses the agreement between Owner and Tenant, and any
      executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify,
      discharge or effect an abandonment of it in whole or in part, unless such
      executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom
      enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is
      sought

            


    

    


    End
of

    
      	
              Term:

            	
              22. Upon the expiration
      or other termination of the term of this lease, Tenant shall quit and
      surrender to Owner the demised premises, "broom-clean", in good order and
      condition, ordinary wear and damages which Tenant is not required to
      repair as provided elsewhere in this lease excepted, and Tenant shall
      remove all its property. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this
      covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this lease.
      If the last day of the term of this lease or any renewal thereof, falls on
      Sunday, this lease shall expire at noon on the preceding Saturday, unless
      it be a legal holiday, in which case it shall expire at noon on the
      preceding business day.

            


    

    


    Quiet

    
      	
              Enjoyment:

            	
              23. Owner covenants and
      agrees wife Tenant that upon Tenant paving the rent and additional rent
      and observing and performing all the terms, covenants and conditions, on
      Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and
      quietly enjoy the premises hereby demised, subject, nevertheless, to the
      terms and conditions of this lease including, but not limited to, Article
      31 hereof; and to the ground leases, underlying leases and mortgages
      hereinbefore mentioned.

            


    

    


    Failure
to

    Give

    
      	
              Possession:

            	
              24. If Owner is unable
      to give possession of the demised premises on the date of the commencement
      of the term hereof because of the holding-over or retention of possession
      of any tenant, undertenant or occupants, or if the demised premises are
      located in a building being constructed, because such building has not
      been sufficiently completed to make the demised premises ready for
      occupancy, or because of the fact that a certificate of occupancy has not
      been procured, or for any other reason, Owner shall not be subject to any
      liability for failure to give possession on said date and the validity of
      the lease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the
      same be construed in any way to extend the term of this lease, but the
      rent 17
      payable hereunder shall be abated (provided Tenant is not responsible for
      Owner's inability to obtain possession or complete construction) until
      after Owner shall have given Tenant written notice that the Owner is able
      to deliver possession in condition required by this lease. If permission
      is given to Tenant to enter into possession of the demises premises, or to
      occupy premises other than the demised premises, prior to the date
      specified as the commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant covenants
      and agrees that such possession and/or occupancy shall be deemed to be
      under all the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this lease,
      except the obligation to pay the fixed annual rent, set forth in the
      preamble to this lease. The provisions of this article are intended to
      constitute "an express provision to the contrary" within the meaning of
      Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law. 18

            


    

    


    
      	
              No
    Waiver:

            	
              25. The failure of Owner
      to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance
      of, any covenant or condition of this lease or of any of the Rules or
      Regulations, set forth or hereafter adopted by Owner, shall not prevent a
      subsequent act which would have originally constituted a violation from
      having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by
      Owner of rent and/or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any
      covenant of this lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no
      provision of this lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Owner
      unless such waiver be in writing signed by Owner, No payment by Tenant or
      receipt by Owner of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein
      stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
      stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of any check or
      any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord
      and satisfaction, and Owner may accept such check or payment without
      prejudice to Owner's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue
      any other remedy in this lease provided. No act or thing done by Owner or
      Owner's agents during the term hereby demised shall be deemed an
      acceptance of a surrender of the demised premises, and no agreement to
      accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing signed by Owner. No
      employee of Owner or Owner's agent shall have any power to accept the keys
      of said premises prior to the termination of the lease, and the delivery
      of keys to any such agent or employee shall not operate as a termination
      of the lease or a surrender of the demised
  premises.

            


    

    


    Waiver
of

    
      	
              Trial by
      Jury:

            	
              26. It is mutually
      agreed by and between Owner and Tenant that the respective parties hereto
      shall, and they hereby do, waive trial by jury in any action proceeding or
      counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other
      (except for personal injury or property damage) on any matters whatsoever
      arising out of or in any way connected with, this lease, the relationship
      of Owner and Tenant, Tenant's use of, or occupancy of, the demised
      premises, and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy. It is
      further mutually agreed that in the event Owner commences any proceeding
      or action for possession, including a summary proceeding for possession of
      the demised premises, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of
      whatever nature or description in any such proceeding, including a
      counterclaim under Article 4, except for statutory mandatory
      counterclaims.

            


    

    


    Inability
to

    
      	
              Perform:

            	
              27. This lease and the
      obligation of Tenant to pay rent hereunder and perform all of the other
      covenants and agreements hereunder on part of Tenant to be performed shall
      in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Owner is unable to
      fulfill any of its obligations under this lease, or to supply, or is
      delayed in surviving, any service expressly or impliedly to be supplied,

    Wherever
the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the printed portion of this
Lease shall be in conflict with any of the terms covenants and conditions in the

              37.  

            	
              ELECTRIC
      CURRENT

            


    

    


    37.01           Landlord
shall furnish electricity to the Demised Premises on a submetered basis and
Tenant covenants and agrees to purchase the same from Landlord or Landlord's
designated agent at charges, terms and rates set, from time to time, during the
term of this Lease by Landlord, which shall not be higher than those specified
in the service classification in effect on December 1, 2009, pursuant to which
Landlord then purchased electric current from the public utility corporation
servicing the Building; provided, however, said charges shall be increased in
the same percentage as any percentage increase in the billing to Landlord for
electricity for the entire Building, by reason of increase in Landlord's
electric rates, charges, fuel adjustment or service classification or by taxes
or charges of any kind imposed thereon, or for any other such reason, subsequent
to December 1, 2009.  Any such percentage increase in Landlord's
billing for electricity shall be computed by the application of the average
consumption (energy and demand) of electricity for the entire Building for the
twelve (12) full months immediately prior to the rate change, other change, or
any changed methods of or rules on billing for same, on a consistent basis to
the new rate and to the service classification in effect on December 1,
2009  If the average consumption of electricity for the entire
Building for said prior twelve (12) months cannot reasonably be applied and used
with respect to changed methods of or rules on billing, then the percentage
increase shall be computed by the use of the average consumption (energy and
demand) for the entire Building for the first three (3) months after such
change, projected to a full twelve (12) months; and that same consumption, so
projected, shall be applied to the service classification in effect
on  December 1, 2009.  Where more than one meter measures
the service of Tenant in the Building, the service rendered through each meter
may be computed and billed separately in accordance with the provisions
hereof.  Bills therefore shall be rendered at such times as Landlord
may elect and the amount as computed from a meter shall be deemed to be, and be
paid as, additional rent.    In no event shall bills
rendered by Landlord pursuant to this Section 37 include any charge for
electricity furnished to portions of the Building other than the Demised
Premises.

    


    37.02           Tenant's
use of electric current in the Demised Premises shall not at any time exceed the
capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise
serving the Demised Premises.  Tenant shall not make or perform or
permit the making of, any alterations to wiring, installations or other
electrical facilities in or serving the Demised Premises without the prior
consent of the Landlord in each instance (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed.)  Should Landlord grant any such consent, all
additional risers or other equipment required therefor shall be installed by
Landlord and the cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant upon Landlord's demand;
any such work performed by Landlord shall be of workmanlike quality and the cost
thereof shall be comparable to costs payable for similar type installations
performed by Landlords of property similar to the Building.

    


    37.03           Unless the same shall arise due to the
willful or negligent act of Landlord, its agent, servant, employees, contractors
or subcontractors, Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for
any failure or defect in the supply or character of electric energy furnished to
the Demised Premises by reason of any requirement act or omission of the public
utility company servicing the Building with electricity or for any other reason
whatsoever.

    


    37.04           Landlord
reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electric energy to Tenant at any
time upon sixty (60) days' written notice to Tenant and from and after the
effective date of such termination, Landlord shall no longer be obligated to
furnish Tenant with electric energy, provided, however, that such termination
date may be extended for a time reasonably necessary for Tenant to make
arrangements to obtain electric service directly from the public utility company
servicing the Building.  If Landlord exercises such right of
termination this Lease shall remain unaffected thereby and shall continue in
full force and effect; and thereafter Tenant shall diligently arrange to obtain
electric service directly from the public utility company servicing the
Building, and may utilize the then existing electric feeders, risers and wiring
serving the Demised Premises to the extent available and safely capable of being
used for such purpose and only to the extent of Tenant's then authorized
connected load, Landlord shall be obligated to pay no part of any cost required
for Tenant's direct electric service.  Notwithstanding the provisions
of the first sentence of this Section 37.04, Landlord agrees that it shall not
discontinue furnishing electric energy to Tenant unless it has a bona fide
business reason for so doing.

    


    37.05           If
any tax (other than a Federal, State or City Income Tax) is imposed upon
Landlord's receipt from the sale or resale of electricity to Tenant by any
Federal, State or Municipal Authority, Tenant covenants and agrees that where
permitted by law, Tenant's pro rata share of such taxes shall be passed on to
and included in the bill of and paid by Tenant to Landlord.

    


    37.06           In
the event Tenant defaults in the payment of fixed rent more than twice in any
given twelve (12) month period , Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant
to place with Landlord a security deposit equal to charges for one (1) months
average consumption.  Such deposit shall be in addition to the
security deposit called for in Article   of this Lease, and shall
be payable within five (5) days of written notice by Landlord that such security
deposit is due and payable.  Landlord shall have the right to require
Tenant to increase the amount of the security deposit to an equivalent of two
(2) months charges in the event that Tenant's consumption or utility electric
rates shall increase.

    


    37.07           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall be charged for the
electric consumed by it for the Demised Premises based upon the Service
Classification rate for the usage as shown on the Tenant’s submeter or
submeters, (including all taxes, charges, terms, rates and other fees associated
with the Landlord providing electrical service) plus ten (10%)
percent.  Such taxes charges, terms, and rates may be revised by the
Utility Company servicing the Building, from time to time, and any change after
the aforesaid date in the taxes, charges terms and rates to Landlord in
connection with the supply of the electric current to the Building of which the
Demised Premises are a part, will be used in the calculation of the Tenant

ESTATE TAXES

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              Tenant
      shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, tax escalation in accordance
      with this Article:

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              38.01

            	
              For
      the purpose of this Article, the following definitions shall
      apply:

            


    

    


    (i)           The
term "Tax Base Year" shall mean the real estate taxes for the period beginning
January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010.

    


     (ii)          The
term "The Percentage", for purposes of computing tax escalation, shall be deemed
to mean .70%.

    


    (iii)          The
term "the building” shall mean all of the land and the Building and improvements
located thereon, known as 261 West 36th
Street, 266 West 37th
Street and 520 Eighth Avenue collectively known as 520 Eighth Avenue, New York,
New York.

    


     (iv)           The
term "comparative year" shall mean the tax year following the year commencing
January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2010, and each subsequent period of
twelve (12) months.

    


    (v)      The
term "real estate taxes" shall mean the total of all taxes and special or other
assessments levied, assessed or imposed at any time by any governmental
authority upon or against the building project, and also any tax or assessment
levied, assessed or imposed at any time by any governmental authority in
connection with the receipt of income or rents from said building project to the
extent that same shall be in lieu of all or a portion of any of the aforesaid
taxes or assessments, or additions or increases thereof, upon or against said
Building Project.  If, due to a future change in the method of
taxation or in the taxing authority, or for any other reason, a franchise,
income, transit, profit or other tax or governmental imposition, however,
designated, shall be levied against Landlord in substitution in whole or in part
for the real estate taxes, or in lieu of additions to or increases of said real
estate taxes, then such franchise, income, transit, profit or other tax or
governmental imposition shall be deemed to be included within the definition of
"real estate taxes" for the purposes hereof.  As to special
assessments which are payable over a period of time extending beyond the term of
this Lease, only a pro rata portion thereof, covering the portion of the term of
this Lease unexpired at the time of the imposition of such assessment, shall be
included in "real estate taxes".

    


    38.02           In
the event that the real estate taxes payable for any comparative year shall
exceed the Tax Base Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent for
such comparative year, an amount equal to The Percentage of the excess (“Tax
Payment”).  Before or after the start of each comparative year,
Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of the real estate taxes payable
for such comparative year.  If the real estate taxes payable for such
comparative year exceed the Tax Base Year, additional rent for such comparative
year, in an amount equal to The Percentage of the excess, shall be due from
Tenant to Landlord, and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord, within thirty
(30) days after Landlord's furnishing the aforesaid statement to
Tenant.  This
will be calculated by dividing the sum of the Real Estate Taxes payable for the
Building for the tax year of the City Of New York for 2009/2010 and for the tax
year of the City of New York for 2010/2011 by two. Tenant shall not be
subject to increases in real estate taxes for the twelve (12) month period
following lease commencement.

    


    38.03.           Notwithstanding
anything stated hereinabove, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may, upon written
notice to Tenant, institute a payment plan whereby Tenant’s Tax Payment with
respect to any comparative year, shall be payable to Landlord in advance, in
twelve (12) equal monthly installments payable on the first day of each month,
in amounts to be determined by Landlord.

    


    38.04           If
the installments payable with respect to any comparative year shall be less than
the Tax Payment for that comparative year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as
additional rent, the difference between the Tax Payment for that comparative
year and the aggregate amount paid by Tenant on account of the Tax Payment for
that comparative year within thirty (30) days after Landlord renders a bill with
respect thereto.  If the installments payable with respect to any
comparative year shall exceed the Tax Payment for any comparative year, Tenant
shall be entitled to set off such excess, prorated over the next six (6) monthly
installments.

    


    38.05            The
benefit of any discount for any early payment or prepayment of real estate taxes
shall accrue solely to the benefit of Landlord, and such benefits shall not be
subtracted from the real estate taxes payable for any comparative year. If,
after Tenant shall have made a payment of additional rent under this paragraph,
Landlord shall receive a refund of any portion of the real estate taxes payable
for any comparative year on which such payment of additional rent shall have
been based, as a result of a reduction of such real estate taxes by final
determination of legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise, Landlord shall
promptly after receiving the refund pay to Tenant The Percentage of the refund
less The Percentage of expenses (including attorneys' and appraisers' fees)
incurred by Landlord in connection with any such application or
proceeding.  If, prior to the payment of taxes for any comparative
year, Landlord shall have obtained a reduction of that comparative year's
assessed valuation of the building project, and therefore of said taxes, then
the term "real estate taxes" for that comparative year shall be deemed to
include the amount of Landlord's expenses in obtaining such reduction in
assessed valuation, including attorneys' and appraisers' fees.

    


    
      	
              38.06

            	
              If
      the real estate taxes payable for the period(s) upon which the Tax Base
      Factor is based are reduced, the additional rent theretofore paid or
      payable hereunder for all comparative years shall be recomputed on the
      basis of such reduction, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional
      rent, within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor, any deficiency
      between the amount of such additional rent as theretofore computed and the
      amount thereof due as the result of such recomputations.  Should
      the real estate taxes payable for such year be increased by final
      determination of legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise, then
      appropriate recomputation and adjustment also shall be
    made.

            


    

    


    38.07           The
statements of the real estate taxes to be furnished by Landlord as provided
above shall constitute a final determination as between Landlord and Tenant of
the real estate taxes for the periods represented thereby, unless Tenant within
thirty (30) days after they are furnished shall in writing challenge their
accuracy or their appropriateness.  If Tenant shall dispute said
statements, then, pending the resolution of such dispute, Tenant shall pay the
additional rent to Landlord in accordance with the statements furnished by
Landlord.

    


    
      	
              38.08

            	
              In
      no event shall the fixed annual rent under this Lease (exclusive of the
      additional rents under this Article) be reduced by virtue of this
      Article.

            


    

    


    
      	
              38.09

            	
              If
      the commencement date of this Lease occurs on a day which is not the first
      day of a comparative year, then the additional rent due hereunder for such
      comparative year shall be a proportionate share of said additional rent
      for the entire comparative year, said proportionate share to be based upon
      the length of time that the term of this Lease will be in existence during
      such comparative year.  Upon the date of any expiration or
      termination of this Lease (except termination because of Tenant's default)
      whether the same be the date hereinbefore set forth for the expiration of
      the term or any prior or subsequent date, a proportionate share of said
      additional rent for the comparative year during which such expiration or
      termination occurs shall immediately become due and payable by Tenant to
      Landlord, if it was not theretofore already billed and paid. The said
      proportionate share shall be based upon the length of time that this Lease
      shall have been in existence during such comparative
      year.  Landlord shall promptly cause statements of said
      additional rent for that comparative year to be prepared and furnished to
      Tenant.  Landlord and Tenant shall thereupon make appropriate
      adjustments of amounts then owing. Landlord's and Tenant's obligations to
      make the adjustments referred to above shall survive any expiration or
      termination of this Lease.

            


    

    


    38.10            Any
delay or failure of Landlord in billing any tax escalation hereinabove provided
shall not constitute a waiver of or in any way impair the continuing obligation
of Tenant to pay such tax escalation hereunder.

    


    


    39.           ANNUAL RENT
INCREASE

    


    Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord a
2.5%
increase in base rent excluding electric, in each and every year, commencing on
the first day of the third
(3rd) anniversary of the Possession
Date and continuing on each anniversary thereafter for the term of the
Lease.  The increase will be compounded and cumulative.

    


    Example:

    Annual
Base
Rent:                                $10,000.00
(Year 1)

    Increased
Annual

    Base
Rent:                                $10,000.00
x 2.5% = $250.00 + $10,000.00 = $10,250.00 (Year
2)

    Increased
Annual

    Base
Rent:                                $10,250.00
x 2.5% = $256.25 + $10,250.00 = $10,506.25 (Year
3)

    


    


    40.           FUEL

    


    40.01           Tenant
shall pay, as additional rent, collectible as such, an amount equal to .70% of
Landlord's increased cost of fuel, if any, for the Building of which the Demised
Premises forms a part for each calendar year of the term or portion thereof over
the cost of fuel for the calendar year 2009. At the end of each calendar year,
Landlord shall calculate such increased cost and bill Tenant for its share,
which bill shall be due and payable with the next regular installment of
rent.

    


    40.02           This
obligation shall survive termination of this Lease or any renewals thereof,
except that should Tenant's term expire other than at the end of a calendar
year, Tenant shall only be obligated pro rata for the number of months in such
year which formed a part of its term.  Landlord's fuel bills for the
years in question shall be conclusive as to cost.

    


    


    41.           USE

    


    41.01           Tenant
covenants that Tenant shall use and occupy the Demised Premises for the conduct
of Tenant's business, which is executive, general and administrative offices and
for no other purpose whatsoever.  Tenant shall not make nor permit to
be made any use of the Premises which would violate the terms of this Agreement,
cause an excessive density of traffic or unreasonably interfere with or cause
excessive demands on any of the Building's services or which, directly or
indirectly, is forbidden by statute, ordinance or government regulations, or
which may invalidate or increase the premium of any policy of insurance carried
on the Building. Further, Tenant shall not suffer or permit the Premises to be
used in any manner or permit anything to be brought into or kept in the Premises
which in the sole reasonable judgment of the Landlord, shall in any way impair
or tend to impair the character, reputation or appearance of the
Building.

     

    41.02           Tenant
shall not bring or permit to be brought or kept in or on the Demised Premises,
any inflammable, combustible, explosive or hazardous fluid, material, chemical
or substance, or cause or permit any odors of cooking or other processes, or any
unusual or other objectionable odors to permeate in or emanate from the Demised
Premises other than commonly used office supplies and chemicals such as, without
limitation, cleansers, general purpose cleaners, markerboard surface cleaner,
office machine developer, toner, fuser, fuser oil and printer cartridges,
alcohol cleaning swaps and wipes, liquid paper and rubber cement, all of which
shall be used, stored, handled and disposed of in accordance with applicable
environmental laws, rules and regulations. "Hazardous Materials" shall mean any
and all hazardous or toxic materials, substances, pollutants, contaminants and
wastes and all elements and compounds, including but not limited to, radioactive
substance, polychlorinated biphenyls, methane, volatile hydrocarbons, industrial
solvents, ambient air and water, or any other material or substance which may
cause or constitute a health, safety or other environmental hazard subject to
any Environmental Law.

     

    41.03           Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's failure to comply with the foregoing
covenants shall constitute a breach of the Lease and Landlord shall be entitled
to exercise any and all of its rights and remedies under the Lease to cure such
default, including but not limited to, reducing the number of Permitted Invitees
and the default shall be considered in the same manner, as a default under the
Lease and Landlord shall be entitled to terminate the Lease consistent with the
provisions governing defaults.

    


    


    42.           UTILITIES

    


    42.01           Landlord
shall provide at Landlord’s expense, water for ordinary lavatory, sprinkler and
kitchen purposes. Tenant shall pay all charges for gas, heating of water and
other utilities only in the event that it is used in the Demised
Premises.

    


    


    43.           TENANT'S
INSTALLATIONS

    


    43.01           Notwithstanding
anything hereinbefore contained to the contrary, provided Tenant complies with
all of the laws, orders, rules and regulations of the governmental authorities
and the Fire Insurance Rating Organization having jurisdiction thereof and the
local Board of Fire Underwriters, or any other similar body, Tenant shall have
the right, at its own cost and expense, to install such machinery, equipment and
fixtures as may be required for the proper conduct of Tenant's business, except
that Landlord's prior consent shall be required for any installation requiring
structural alteration or changes to the Demised Premises.  Subject to
the provisions of this Article, any and all moveable machinery, equipment, and
fixtures installed by tenant (sometimes herein referred to as "Tenant's
Property") shall remain personal notwithstanding the fact that it may be affixed
or attached to the realty, and shall, during the term of this Lease, or any
extension or renewal thereof,  Tenant shall deliver the Demised
Premises to Landlord in the same condition as upon the commencement of the term
hereof, reasonable wear and tear excepted.   Prior to the
expiration of the term, or sooner termination thereof, Tenant shall, at its own
cost and expense, remove from the Demised Premises all of Tenant's personal
Property and Tenant shall repair any damage to the Demised Premises resulting
from such removal. Tenant shall ascertain from Landlord at the time the Tenant’s
plans are approved by Landlord, whether Landlord desires to have any
non-moveable fixtures, machinery and/or equipment permanently installed by
Tenant removed from the Demised Premises prior to the expiration of such term or
the sooner termination thereof and, if Landlord shall so desire, Tenant shall,
prior the end of the term hereof, remove such indicated items and restore the
Demised Premises with respect thereto, to the same condition as upon the
commencement of the term hereof, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
..Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall remove any
non-moveable fixtures, machinery and/or equipment permanently installed by
Tenant in the Demised Premises, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. All fixtures, machinery
and equipment installed by Tenant, in the Demised Premises and become the
property of Landlord, remaining within the Demised Premises after the expiration
of such term or sooner termination thereof and after Tenant is no longer in
possession of the Demised Premises shall, at Landlord's option, either (i)
become the property of Landlord, free of any claim by Tenant or any person
claiming through Tenant, or (ii) be removed and disposed of by Landlord, at
Tenant's cost and expense, without further notice to or demand upon
Tenant.  Machinery, fixtures, chattels, or equipment, if any,
furnished or installed by Tenant, the cost of which is to be borne by Landlord,
shall become the property of Landlord upon payment, therefor by Landlord or
reimbursement of Tenant by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall not be
removed by Tenant.   Tenant's obligations under this Article
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the term
hereof.

    


    


    44.           INDEMNITY-LIABILITY
INSURANCE

    


    44.01           Tenant
agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless against and from any and all
claims by or on behalf of any person or persons, firm or firms, corporation or
corporations, arising from any work or thing whatsoever done by or on behalf of
Tenant, in or about the Demised Premises, unless caused by any act or
negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees, licensees, contractors or
servants and will further indemnify and save Landlord harmless against and from
any and all claims arising from any breach or default on the part of Tenant in
the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be
performed, pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or arising from any act or
negligence of Tenant, or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees or
licensees, and from and against all costs, reasonable counsel fees, expenses and
liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or action or proceeding brought
thereon; and in case any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by
reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord covenants to resist
or defend, at Tenant's expense, such action or proceeding by counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord.

    


    44.02           Tenant
covenants to provide on or before the commencement date of the term hereof and
to keep in force during the term hereof for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant a
comprehensive policy of liability insurance protecting Landlord and Tenant
against any liability whatsoever occasioned by accident on or about the Demised
Premises or any appurtenances thereto.  Such policy is to be written
by good and solvent insurance companies satisfactory to Landlord, and the limits
of liability thereunder shall not be less than the amount of One Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) per occurrence for bodily or personal
injury including death and in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand ($500,000)
Dollars in respect of property damage.  Such insurance may be carried
under a blanket policy covering the Demised Premises and other locations of
Tenant, if any. All insurance maintained by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph
shall name: 38th And
8th LLC,
New 520 GSH LLC, New 520 Triple Crown, LLC and New 520 Eighth LLC. as Landlord
and Newmark & Company Real Estate, Inc., as Agent, as certificate holders
and additional insureds and shall be paid fully by Tenant when obtained. Prior
to the time such insurance is first required to be carried by Tenant and
thereafter, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such
policy, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord either a duplicate original of the
aforesaid policy or two (2) separate Accord certificates evidencing such
insurance may not be cancelled except upon ten (10) days' notice to
Landlord.  Tenant's failure to provide and keep in force the
aforementioned insurance shall be regarded as a material default hereunder,
entitling Landlord to exercise any or all of the remedies as provided in this
Lease in the event of Tenant's default.

    


    


    45.           TENANT'S
CERTIFICATE

    


    45.01           Tenant
shall, without charge, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days
after request by Landlord, certify by written instrument, duly executed,
acknowledged and delivered, to any mortgagee, assignee or any mortgage or
purchaser, or any proposed mortgagee, assignee of any mortgage or purchaser, or
any other person, firm or corporation specified by Landlord:

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (a)

            	
              that
      this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there has
      been modification, that the same is in full force and effect as modified
      and stating the modifications);

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

            	
              whether
      or not there are then existing any set-offs or defenses against the
      enforcement of any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions
      hereof upon the part of Tenant to be performed or complied with (and, if
      so, specifying the same); and

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (c)

            	
              the
      dates, if any, to which the rental and other charges hereunder have been
      paid in advance.

            


    

    


    


    46.           MODIFICATION FOR
MORTGAGES

    


    46.01           If,
in connection with obtaining financing or refinancing for the Building of which
the Demised Premises form a part, a banking, insurance or other institution
lender shall request reasonable modifications to this Lease as a condition to
such financing or refinancing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or
defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the
obligations nor diminish any rights of Tenant hereunder (except, perhaps, to the
extent that Tenant may be required to give notices of any defaults by Landlord
to such lender and/or permit the curing of such defaults by such lender together
with the granting of such additional time for such curing as may be required for
such lender to get possession of said Building) or materially adversely affect
the leasehold interest hereby created.  In no event shall a
requirement that the consent of any such lender be given for any modification,
termination or surrender of this Lease be deemed to materially adversely affect
the leasehold interest hereby created.

    


    


    47.           BROKER

    


    47.01           Tenant
and Landlord each represents and warrants to the other that it has dealt with no
broker except Newmark & Co. Real Estate, Inc. (“Broker") in connection with
the execution of this Lease or the showing of the Demised Premises and the
breaching party agrees to hold and save the non-breaching party harmless from
and against any and all liabilities from any claims of any other broker
(including, without imitation, the cost of reasonable counsel fees in connection
with the defense of any such claims incurred by reason of a breach by the
indemnifying party of the aforesaid representation and warranty). Landlord
agrees to pay the Broker a commission pursuant to a separate
agreement.  The provisions of this Article shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

    


    


    48.           "AS-IS"
CONDITION

    


    48.01           Tenant
has examined and inspected the Demised Premises and Tenant agrees to accept said
Demised Premises in their as-is condition existing on the commencement date of
the term hereof, subject to the completion of Landlord’s Work as provided
hereunder.

    


    


    49.           EXCULPATORY
CLAUSE

    


    490.01                      If
the Landlord or any successor in interest be an individual, joint venture,
tenancy in common, co-partnership, unincorporated association, or other
unincorporated aggregate of individuals or a corporation (all of which is
referred to below, individually and collectively, as a "landlord entity") then,
anything elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall look solely to
the estate and property of such landlord entity in the land and Building of
which the Demised Premises are a part, for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies
for the collection of a judgement (or other judicial process) requiring the
payment of money by Landlord in the event of any default or breach by Landlord
with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease to be
observed and/or performed by Landlord, and no other property or assets of such
Landlord entity shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement
procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies.

    


    


    50.           AIR
CONDITIONING

    


    50.01           Tenant
shall be permitted the use of and to operate the air conditioning equipment
serving the Demised Premises (the "Air Conditioning Unit"), which Landlord
agrees to deliver to Tenant in working order. Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that the Air Conditioning Unit is Landlord's property; however, Tenant shall
nevertheless, keep, maintain, and repair, restore and replace the ducts,
dampers, registers, grilles and appurtenances utilized in connection therewith;
and, in addition, Tenant shall at all times during the term hereof contract for
and maintain regular service of said Air Conditioning Unit and related equipment
with a recognized maintenance company and shall forward to Landlord duplicate
executed original copies of such contract and all renewals and modifications
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 50.01, unless
the same shall arise from the negligent or willful act or omission of Tenant,
its agents or employees, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, be
responsible for the repair, maintenance, replacement and restoration of the
compressor of the Air Conditioning Unit. Tenant shall keep said contract in full
force and effect during the term of this Lease.  If Tenant fails to
make such repairs, restoration or replacements to, and maintain, such Air
Conditioning Unit and related equipment; or if Tenant fails to obtain or keep
the aforesaid service contract in force and effect, the same may be made,
performed, obtained or maintained by Landlord at the expense of Tenant and such
expense shall be collectible as additional rent and shall be paid by Tenant
within 15 days after rendition of a bill therefor.  Any restoration or
replacements of all or any part of the Air Conditioning Unit and related
equipment shall be in quality and class equal to the original work of
installations.  Tenant shall comply with all of the laws, orders,
rules and regulations including  payments of all fees, permits and
authorizations of all governmental authorities having jurisdiction
thereof,  including the City of New York Fire Bureau of Fire
Prevention, local board of fire underwriters or any similar body at Tenant's
sole cost and expense.

    


    50.02           Use
of the Demised Premises, or any part thereof, in a manner exceeding the design
conditions thereof (including occupancy and connected electrical load) for
heating and air conditioning service in the Demised Premises, or rearrangement
of partitioning which interferes with normal heating and air conditioning
service in the Demised Premises, or the use of computer or data processing
machines, may require changes in the systems servicing the Demised
Premises.  Such changes, so occasioned, shall be made by Landlord, at
Tenant's expense.  Tenant agrees to lower and keep closed the venetian
blinds or other window coverings in the Demised Premises, whenever required, for
the proper operation of the air conditioning service.  No supplemental
heating, ventilating or air conditioning equipment shall be installed or
utilized by Tenant in the Demised Premises without Landlord's prior consent,
which consent shall not be

    50.03           Landlord
reserves the right to interrupt, curtail or suspend the services required to be
furnished by Landlord under this Article when the necessity therefor arises by
reason of accident, emergency, mechanical breakdown or when required by any law,
order or regulation of any Federal, State, County or Municipal authority or for
any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.  Landlord
shall use due diligence to complete all required repairs or other necessary work
as quickly as possible so that Tenant's inconvenience resulting therefrom may be
for as short a period of time as circumstances will permit, except that nothing
shall be construed so as to require Landlord to employ overtime
help.  In the event
there is an interruption or suspension of such services for more than
ten
(10) business days after written notice thereof is provided to Landlord and due
to such failure of services Tenant is unable to reasonably conduct its business
in the Demised Premises and Tenant vacates the Demised Premises, then beginning
after such ten (10) day period, Tenant’s obligation to pay Fixed Annual Rent and
Additional Rent hereunder shall abate until such failure is cured, provided such
failure of services is not as result of the negligence or willful misconduct of
the Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, contractors or
subcontractors.  However, there shall be no rent abatement in the
event of any force of nature (including but not limited to, a tornado, flooding,
hurricane or earthquake) or any other event beyond the reasonable control of
Landlord (including but not limited to war, terrorism, black outs or strike) it
being agreed that financial inability to perform shall not be deemed an event
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.   Essential services
as used herein shall mean access, electricity, HVAC, water and all elevator
service.

    


    50.04           Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary aforesaid, Tenant agrees that it shall pay, as
additional rent the cost of the electric current used in the operation of such
equipment, which electrical current shall be measured and paid pursuant to the
terms of Article 37 hereof.

              The
      proposed subtenant shall not be a then existing tenant or occupant of the
      building of which the Demised Premises are a part;
  and

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (viii)

            	
              Tenant shall pay as additional
      rent the reasonable cost of Landlord's attorney's fees in connection with
      each subletting in an amount not to exceed $500.00 per

              A
      true copy of such assignment shall be submitted to Landlord at least
      twenty (20) days prior to the execution and delivery thereof; under any of
      the terms, covenants, provisions, agreements and conditions or this
      Lease;

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (ii)

            	
              Such
      assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, prior to the
      effective date of the proposed Assignment an agreement in form and
      substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby such assignee shall
      agree to be bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements, terms,
      provisions and conditions set forth in this lease on the part of the
      Tenant to be performed;

and the effective date of such subletting or assignment) of its intention to do
so to Landlord sixty (60) days or more, before the effective date of such
proposed subletting, or assignment, and Landlord may, at any time within thirty
(30) days after receipt of such notice from Tenant, cancel this Lease by giving
Tenant written notice of its intention to do so, in which event such

interest in this Lease (i) to any entity which is a successor to Tenant either

the Demised Premises form a part, or any part or parts of such real property,
either through possession or foreclosure action or proceedings, or through the
issuance and delivery of a new lease of the Premises covered by the ground or
underlying lease to said leasehold mortgagee, then, if this Lease is in full
force and effect at such time, Tenant shall attorn to such lessor or such
leasehold mortgagee, as its Landlord; and in such event, such lessor or
leasehold mortgagee shall not be liable to Tenant for any defaults theretofore
committed by Landlord and no such default shall give rise to any rights of
offset or deduction against the rents payable under this Lease.

    


    52.02           The provisions for attornment
hereinbefore set forth shall not require the execution of any further
instrument.  However, if any such lessor or mortgagee to which Tenant

expressing such attornment, Tenant agrees to execute the same promptly and if
Tenant fails to so,  same shall be deemed a default
hereunder.

    60.01           
If tenant holds over in possession after the expiration or sooner termination of
the original term or of any extended term of this lease, such holding over shall

              1/12
      of the highest annual rent rate set forth on page one of this lease, times
      1.5, plus

            


    

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              (b)

              (c)

            	
              1/12
      of all other items of annual additional rental, which annual additional
      rental would have been payable pursuant to this lease had this lease not
      expired, plus

      damages for Tenant's failure to vacate the Demised Premises after the
      expiration or sooner termination of this lease.  The aforesaid
      provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or sooner
      termination of this lease.

            


    

    


    


    


    61.           GOVERNMENTAL
REGULATIONS

    


    61.01           If,
at any time during the term of this lease, Landlord expends any sums for
alterations or improvements to the building which are required to be made
pursuant to any law, ordinance or governmental regulation, or any portion of
such law ordinance or governmental regulation, which becomes effective after the
date hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the same
percentage of such cost as is set forth in the provision of this lease which
requires Tenant to pay increases in Real Estate Taxes, within ten (10) days
after demand therefor.  If, however, the cost of such alteration or
improvement is one which is required to be amortized over a period of time
pursuant to applicable governmental regulations, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
as additional rent, during each year in which occurs any part of the lease term,
the above-stated percentage of the reasonable annual amortization of the cost of
the alteration or improvement made.  For the purposes of this Article,
the cost of any alteration or improvement made shall be deemed to include the
cost of preparing any necessary plans and the fees for filing such.

    


    


                62.      SECURITY

    


    62.01 The
sum of $45,066.68
representing security (referred to as "Security") for the faithful
performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of
this lease on the Tenant's part to be observed and performed is due and payable
at the time of the execution and delivery of this lease.  In the event
of any default by Tenant in the observance or performance of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this lease on the part of the Tenant to be observed
or performed, including, but not limited to, any default in the payment when due
of any monthly installment of the Fixed Rent or of any additional rent at the expiration of applicable notice
and grace periods, Landlord may use or apply all or any part of the
Security for the payment to Landlord for Tenant's account of any sum or sums due
under this lease, without thereby waiving any other rights and remedies of
Landlord with respect to such default.  Tenant agrees to replenish all
or any part of the Security so used or applied during the demised
term.  After (i) the expiration date or any other date upon which the
demised term shall expire and come to an end and (ii) the full observance and
performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
lease on the Tenant's part to be observed or performed, including but not
limited, the provision of Article 22, Landlord shall return to Tenant the
balance of the Security then held or retained by Landlord.  Landlord
agrees that, unless prohibited by law or by the general policies of lending
institutions in New York City, Landlord shall deposit the Security in an
interest bearing savings account with a bank selected by Landlord, in which
event all interest accruing thereon, except for a service charge of (1%)
percent, shall be added to and become part of the Security and shall be retained
by Landlord under the same conditions as the sum originally deposited as
Security.  Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not assign or encumber any
part of the security, and no assignment or encumbrance by Tenant of all or any
part of the Security shall be binding upon Landlord, whether made prior to,
during, or after the demised term.  Landlord shall not be required to
exhaust its remedies against Tenant or against the Security before having
recourse by Landlord to any form of security held by Landlord and recourse by
the Landlord to any form of security shall not effect any remedies of Landlord
which are provided in this lease or which are available to Landlord in law or
equity.  In the event of any sale, assignment or transfer by Landlord
named herein (or any subsequent Landlord) of its interest in the Building as
Landlord or lessee, Landlord (or such subsequent Landlord) shall have the right
to assign or transfer the Security to its grantee, assignee, or transferee and,
in the event of any such assignment or transfer, Landlord named herein (or such
subsequent landlord) shall have no liability to Tenant for the return of the
Security and Tenant shall look solely to the grantee, assignee or transferee for
such return.  A lease of the entire building shall be deemed a
transfer within the meaning of the foregoing sentence.

    


    62.02           In
lieu of cash, the Landlord agrees to accept an irrevocable Letter of Credit,
which automatically renews itself annually in the amounts as provided hereunder,
without amendment, is transferable, (if transferred by Landlord, at Landlord’s
sole cost and expense), partial drawings are permitted. The Letter of Credit
shall provide that:

    


    
      	
               
      

            	
              The
      Issuing Bank shall pay to the Landlord or its designee up to the face
      amount of Letter of Credit upon presentation of only (a) Letter of Credit
      and (b) a certificate executed by an officer of the Landlord stating that
      “Tenant is in default of the Lease, between Landlord and Tenant beyond any

or desirable in Tenant’s sole judgment to make the Demised Premises suitable for
Tenant’s use and occupancy at Tenant's own cost and expense (hereinafter called
"Tenant's Work").  Tenant's work to be performed by Tenant in the
Demised Premises shall be subject to the following conditions:

    


    68.02           Tenant
shall comply with all of the laws, orders, rules and regulations of all city
agencies, including but not limited to the Department of Buildings, governmental
authorities, and of the fire insurance rating organization having jurisdiction

governmental permits, filings and authorizations.  Tenant, at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, agrees to use Landlord’s expeditor for all required
filings, plan review and final sign-offs in order to ensure that proposed
construction plans are in compliance with rules and regulations of the governing
authorities.  Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant and shall sign
permits or applications for approval if necessary with regard to the above so
long as there is no cost to Landlord or Tenant covers any such out of pocket
third party costs reasonably incurred by Landlord  in an amount not to exceed

and specifications within twenty (20) days after Landlord's receipt thereof
shall be deemed Landlord's approval thereof.  The approval by Landlord
of any of Tenant's plans and specifications shall not constitute an assumption
of any liability on the part of Landlord for their accuracy or their conformity
with applicable law, and Tenant shall be solely responsible
therefor.  Approval by Landlord of any of Tenant's plans and
specifications shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of the right to
thereafter require Tenant to amend same to correct for Tenant's non-compliance
with applicable laws and omissions or errors adversely affecting the Building
structure or Building systems therein later discovered by
Landlord.  If, in connection with determining whether or not to
approve Tenant's plans and specifications Landlord reasonably incurs
out-of-pocket architectural or engineering fees, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for such fees, to the extent reasonable, as additional rent within twenty (20)
days of submission of such receipted bills to Tenant

    


    68.04  Tenant's
Work shall be completed (i) with reasonable dispatch, and ii) substantially in
accordance with the plans and specifications submitted to, and approved in
writing by, Landlord pursuant to Paragraph (B) hereof. Landlord reserves the
right from time to time, to inspect work in progress for the purpose of
confirming its substantial conformity with approved plans, specifications and
drawings.   Tenant shall complete, or cause to be completed,
Tenant's Work in a good and workmanlike manner, to the extent reasonably
possible, and in substantial compliance with the customary standards employed by
contractors in New York City in buildings of like kind and class.

    


    68.05  Prior
to commencing Tenant's Work, Tenant shall at its own cost and expense deliver to

$2,000,000.00 in respect to any one accident and not less than $500,000.00 in
respect of property damage, including Tenant’s work, covering the risk during
the course of performance of Tenant's Work, which policy shall protect Landlord
and its managing agent in the same amounts against any claims or liability
arising out of Tenant's Work, and Tenant or Tenant's contractors shall obtain
workers' compensation insurance to cover all persons engaged in Tenant's Work
and a certificate thereof shall be furnished to the Landlord before commencement
of any work by any contractor, subcontractor, their agents, servants or
employees.  Tenant's contractor shall name Landlord, its managing
agent, mortgagees and ground lessors, if any, as additional insured under said
insurance policies;

    


    68.06           All
of Tenant's Work shall be done in such a manner so as not to materially
interfere with Landlord or other Tenants.

    


    68.07           Prior
to commencing Tenant's Work, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the name and
address of Tenant's general contractor and sub-contractors who must first be
approved by Landlord, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed and Landlord will respond
to such information within five (5) days from submission.

    


    68.08
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be obligated to connect into and
coordinate its security and/or fire alarm systems with those systems existing in
the Building.

    


    68.09           It
is expressly understood and agreed that Landlord shall not be responsible for
any repair, replacement or maintenance of Tenant's Work, unless otherwise
provided in the Lease.

    


    


    69.         RELOCATION

    


    69.01  On
not less than ninety (90) days notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the one
time right (unless otherwise agreed to by Landlord and Tenant) to move Tenant
out of the space demised and into similar space, with reasonably similar
exposures, of at least equal area to another floor in the same
building.  In this event, Landlord shall remove, relocate and
reinstall Tenant's equipment, telephone and computer lines
and  furniture, reconstruct the new space similar to the old space,
reimburse Tenant Tenant’s reasonable related expenses (i.e., costs to replace
letterhead and business cards),   all of which shall be done at
Landlord's sole cost and expense and without cost to Tenant, and for the balance
of the term this lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall apply
to the new space with the same force and effect as though this lease had
originally been for such new space. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts,
not to relocate Tenant any time during the last two (2) years of the lease term.
In order to minimize the disruption to Tenant’s business, Landlord agrees that
such relocation shall be done during non-business hours.

the event of litigation or dispute between Landlord  and Tenant, the

out-of-pocket costs and expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees; provided
that, if, as a result of Tenant’s failure to pay rent payable hereunder after
notice and expiration of the cure period applicable hereunder, Landlord
commences an action for non payment of such rent, Tenant agrees to reimburse the
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in such action by
Landlord.   Such expenditures paid for by Landlord, shall be deemed to be
Additional Rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord together with
interest thereon at the rate of ten (10%) percent per annum but not to exceed
the maximum amount then chargeable under applicable law within five (5) days of
rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefore, and if any expenditure
is incurred in collecting such obligations, such sum shall be recoverable by
Landlord as additional damages.

in or to the Demised Premises or in and to any alterations, repairs or
improvements to be erected or made thereon.

    


    71.02          The

of whatever nature or description, arising from, or in consequence of, any
alterations or improvements that the Tenant shall make, or cause to be made,
upon the Demised Premises.

    


    71.03           If
a notice of mechanic’s lien be filed against the Demised Premises for labor or
materials alleged to have been furnished, or to be furnished at the Demised
Premises to or for the Lessee or to or for someone claiming under the Lessee;
and if the Lessee shall fail to take such action as shall cause such lien to be

Lessor may discharge it by deposit or by bonding, proceeding, and in the event
of such deposit or bonding proceedings, the Lessor may require the lienor to
prosecute an appropriate action to enforce the lienor’s claim.  In
such case, the Lessor may pay any judgement recovered on such
claim.  Any amount paid or expense incurred by the Lessor, as in the
clause provided, and any expense incurred or sum of money paid by the Lessor by
reason of the failure or the Lessee to comply with this provision of this Lease,
or in defending any such action, shall be deemed to be additional rent for the

the first day of the next following month or at the option of the Lessor, on the
first day of the succeeding month.  The receipt by the Lessor of any
installment of the regular stipulated rent hereunder or any of such additional
rent shall not be a waiver of any other additional rent then due.

or its designee immediately.  Upon the happening of any of the
foregoing events, all Cards will be immediately deactivated from the System.

              Notwithstanding
      anything herein to the contrary, if the demised premises are totally
      damaged or rendered substantially untenantable by fire or other casualty,
      Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after the date of the fire or

      period of the demised premises from such fire or other casualty, and (ii)

      premises.  If Landlord intends to repair and restore the demised
      premises, and if such period exceeds two hundred forty (240) days from the
      date of the fire or other casualty, or if Landlord does not intend to
      repair and restore the demised premises, then Tenant, within thirty (30)
      days after Landlord's notice, may give Landlord notice of termination of

      substantially complete the repair and restoration of the demised premises
      within said two hundred forty (240) day period after the date of the
      casualty, Tenant shall give Landlord a ten (10) day notice to
      cure.  Failure to give notice shall not be deemed a default. If
      Landlord shall not complete said repair and restoration within twenty (20)
      days after the expiration of such ten (10) day period, Tenant may give
      Landlord notice of termination of this Lease, in which event the term
      hereof shall expire ten (10) days after Tenant's termination notice is
      given.
