Operating Year on a straight-line basis, to the extent that such items are amortized over an appropriate period, but not more than ten (10) years, with interest calculated at an annual rate of three (3%) percent over the Base Rate in
effect at the time of Landlord’s having made said expenditure. If Landlord leases any item of capital equipment designed to result in savings or reductions in expenses that would otherwise be included in Operating Expenses, then the rentals and
other costs paid with respect to such leasing shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Operating Years in which such rentals and costs are incurred. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the maximum amount that may be included in
any Operating Year for any such capital equipment or capital expenditure shall be the amount of savings realized by such capital equipment or capital expenditure. To the extent that the amount of such savings is less than the amortized cost plus
interest in any one Operating 

  

 -13- 








 
Year, Landlord shall include in subsequent Operating Years until fully recovered the amount not included in an Operating Year by reason of such limitation
(provided that such limitation is not exceeded in any subsequent Operating Year). 
 If Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or
service (the cost of which if performed by Landlord would constitute an operating Expense) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord for all or any portion of an Operating Year,
Operating Expenses for such Operating Year shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Expenses which reasonably would have been incurred during such Operating Year by Landlord if it had, at its own expense,
furnished such work or service to such tenant. 
 Landlord shall not recover the cost of any item of Operating Expenses more than once and
shall not collect more than 100% of any Operating Expenses. 
 (B) “Taxes” shall mean the aggregate amount of
real estate taxes and any general or special assessments (exclusive of penalties and interest thereon) imposed upon the Real Property (including, without limitation, (i) assessments made upon or with respect to any “air” and
“development” rights now or hereafter appurtenant to or affecting the Real Property, (ii) any fee, tax or charge imposed by any Government Authority for any vaults, vault space or other space within or outside the boundaries of the
Real Property, and (iii) any taxes or assessments levied after the date of this Lease for public benefits to the Real Property or the Building); provided that if, because of any change in the taxation of real estate, any other tax or
assessment, however denominated (including, without limitation, any franchise, income, profit, sales, use, occupancy, gross receipts or rental tax) is imposed upon Landlord or the owner of the Real Property or the Building, or the occupancy, rents
or income therefrom, in substitution for any of the foregoing Taxes or for an increase in any of the foregoing Taxes, such other tax or assessment shall be deemed part of Taxes computed as if Landlord’s sole asset were the Real Property. With
respect to any Tax Year, all expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements and experts’ and other witnesses’ fees, incurred in contesting the validity or amount of any Taxes or in obtaining a refund of Taxes shall be
considered as part of the Taxes for such Tax Year. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Taxes shall not be deemed to include (a) any taxes on Landlord’s income, (b) franchise taxes, (c) estate or inheritance
taxes, or (d) any similar taxes imposed on Landlord, unless such taxes are levied, assessed or imposed as a substitute for the whole or any part of, or as a substitute for an increase in, the taxes, assessments, levies, fees, charges and
impositions that now constitute Taxes. 
  

 -14- 








 (C) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if the assessed value of
the Building is increased by reason of a sale thereof on or before the second (2nd) anniversary of the Commencement Date, then the amount of any such increase in assessment attributable to such sale only, shall not be used to determine
Escalation Rent on account of Taxes during the initial Term of this Lease, but shall be used thereafter in the case of any Renewal Term. Landlord shall make, in good faith, a reasonable determination of the portion of such increase which is
attributable to the sale. Tenant may dispute such determination within ninety (90) days after Landlord shall notify Tenant of such determination. Any dispute between the parties in respect of such determination shall be submitted to and
resolved by arbitration as hereinafter provided. Landlord and Tenant shall each select, within thirty days after Tenant’s dispute of Landlord’s determination, an arbiter having at least ten years’ experience in conducting tax
certiorari proceedings in New York City. If such arbiters fail to reach a decision within twenty (20) days of the appointment of the second arbiter, then the two arbiters shall jointly select a third arbiter having similar qualifications and
the determination of a majority of such arbiters shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties shall each pay the cost of the arbiter each selects and shall equally share the cost of the third arbiter. The provisions of this subparagraph
(C) shall not apply to an increase in the assessed value of the Building by reason of the sale of the Building pursuant to the contract of sale entered into prior to the date of this Lease, it being agreed that the amount of any such increase
in assessment attributable to such sale shall be used to determine Escalation Rent on account of Taxes. 
 Section 3.2. (A) Tenant
shall pay as Escalation Rent for each Tax Year (including the Tax Year in effect on the Rent Commencement Date) an amount (“Tenant’s Tax Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Tax Share of the amount by which the Taxes for such Tax
Year are greater than the Base Tax Factor. Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in twelve (12) equal monthly installments (subject to the further provisions of this Section 3.2) along with the Monthly
Installments of Fixed Rent. If there is any increase in Taxes for any Tax Year, whether during or after such Tax Year, or if there is any decrease in the Taxes for any Tax Year during such Tax Year, Landlord may, and in the case of a decrease in
Taxes Landlord shall, furnish a revised Landlord’s Tax Statement for any Tax Year affected, and Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax Year shall be adjusted and, (a) within 15 days after Tenant’s receipt of such revised
Landlord’s Tax Statement, Tenant shall (with respect to any increase in Taxes for such Tax Year) pay the appropriate increase in Tenant’s Tax Payment to Landlord, or (b) (with respect to any decrease in Taxes for such Tax Year)
Landlord shall credit such decrease in Tenant’s Tax Payment against the next installment of Escalation Rent payable by Tenant, or if the overpaid amount exceeds the amount of all remaining Escalation Rent payable under this Lease for the
balance of the Term, or if such overpayment shall be 

  

 -15- 








 
determined after the Expiration Date, Landlord shall pay the amount of such overpayment to Tenant within 30 days after demand. If, during the Term, Taxes are
required to be paid (either to the appropriate taxing authorities or as tax escrow payments to the Lessor or the Mortgagee), in full or in semi-annual or quarterly or other installments on any other date or dates than as presently required, then
Tenant’s Tax Payments shall be correspondingly accelerated or revised so that Tenant’s Tax Payments are due at least thirty (30) days prior to the date payments are due to the taxing authorities, the Lessor or the Mortgagee. Landlord
shall notify Tenant of same in writing of such acceleration or revision. The benefit of any discount for any early payment or prepayment of Taxes shall accrue solely to the benefit of Landlord and Taxes shall be computed without subtracting such
discount. 
 (B) Only Landlord shall be eligible to institute tax reduction or other proceedings to reduce Taxes. If, after a
Landlord’s Tax Statement has been sent to Tenant, a refund of Taxes is actually received by or on behalf of Landlord, then, promptly after receipt of such refund, Landlord shall send Tenant a Landlord’s Tax Statement adjusting the Taxes
for such Tax Year (taking into account Landlord’s expenses therefor) and setting forth Tenant’s Tax Share of such refund, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive such amount by way of a credit against the Escalation Rent; provided,
however, that Tenant’s Tax Share of such refund shall be limited to the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment, if any, which Tenant had theretofore paid to Landlord attributable to increases in Taxes for the Tax Year to which the refund is
applicable. If the amount of any refund due Tenant cannot be credited in full against the Escalation Rent coming due within the Term (or the Renewal Term, if any), then Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term (or the
Renewal Term, as the case may be), deliver to Tenant Landlord’s check for the portion of the refund due Tenant that was not previously credited against Escalation Rent. 
 (C) Tenant’s Tax Payment and any credits with respect thereto as provided in this Section 3.2 shall be made as provided
in this Section 3.2 regardless of the fact that Tenant may be exempt, in whole or in part, from the payment of any taxes by reason of Tenant’s diplomatic or other tax exempt status or for any other reason whatsoever. 
 (D) Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent any occupancy tax or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted, if
payable by Landlord in the first instance of hereafter required to be paid by Landlord. 
 (E) Each Landlord’s Tax
Statement furnished by Landlord with respect to Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be accompanied by a copy of the real estate tax bill or bills for the Tax Year referred to therein, but Landlord shall have no obligation to deliver more than one such
copy of the real estate 

  

 -16- 








 
tax bill or bills in respect of any Tax Year, and Landlord’s failure to deliver such copy shall not affect Tenant’s obligations as to amount or due
date(s) thereof. 
 Section 3.3. (A) Tenant shall pay as Escalation Rent for each Operating Year (including the Operating Year in
effect on the Rent Commencement Date) an amount (“Tenant’s Operating payment”) equal to Tenant’s Share of the amount by which Operating Expenses for such Operating Year are greater than the Base Operating Factor.

 (B) Landlord may furnish to Tenant, with respect to each Operating Year, a Landlord’s Operating Statement setting
forth Landlord’s estimate of Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Operating Year (“Tenant’s Projected Operating Share”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month during such Operating Year, as
Escalation Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Projected Operating Share for such Operating Year. If, however, Landlord furnishes any such Landlord’s Operating Statement for an Operating Year subsequent to the commencement of
such Operating Year, then (a) until the first day of the month following the month in which such Landlord’s Operating Statement is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount (equal to the
monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 3.3 in respect of the last month of the preceding Operating Year; (b) after such Landlord’s Operating Statement is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord
shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant’s Projected Operating Share previously made for such Operating Year were greater or less than the installments of Tenant’s Projected Operating Share to be made for such
Operating Year in accordance with such estimate, and (i) if there is a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within 15 days after demand therefor, or (ii) if there was an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof
against subsequent payments of Escalation Rent, or if the overpaid amount exceeds the amount of all remaining Escalation Rent payable under this Lease for the balance of the Term, or if such overpayment shall be determined after the Expiration Date,
Landlord shall pay the amount of such overpayment to Tenant within 30 days after demand; and (c) on the first day of the month following the month in which such Landlord’s Operating Statement is furnished to Tenant, and monthly thereafter
throughout the remainder of such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Projected Operating Share shown in such Landlord’s Operating Statement. Landlord may at any time or from time to time
furnish to Tenant a revised Landlord’s Operating Statement with a new estimate of Tenant’s Projected Operating Share for such Operating Year and, in such case, Tenant’s Projected Operating Share for such Operating Year shall be
adjusted and paid or credited, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. 
  

 -17- 








 (C) After the end of each Operating Year Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a
Landlord’s Operating Statement for such Operating Year. Each such year-end Landlord’s Operating Statement shall be accompanied by a computation of Operating Expenses for the Building prepared by the Manager or a certified public accountant
designated by Landlord from which Landlord shall make the computation of Escalation Rent due in respect of Operating Expenses hereunder. In making computations of Operating Expenses, the certified public accountant or the Manager may rely on
Landlord’s estimates and allocations whenever said estimates and allocations are needed for this Article 3. If the Landlord’s Operating Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 3.3(B) exceeded
Tenant’s Operating Payments required to be paid by Tenant for such Operating Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments of Escalation Rent, or if the overpaid amount exceeds the amount of all remaining
Escalation Rent payable under this Lease for the balance of the Term, or if such overpayment shall be determined after the Expiration Date, Landlord shall pay the amount of such overpayment, to Tenant within 30 days after demand; and if the
Landlord’s Operating Statement for such Operating Year shows that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Operating Payment due for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within fifteen
(15) days after demand therefor. 
 Section 3.4. Landlord’s failure to render any Landlord’s Statement with respect to
any Tax Year or Operating Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a Landlord’s Statement with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent Tax Year or Operating Year, as the case may be, nor shall the rendering
of a Landlord’s Statement prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a corrected Landlord’s Statement for that Tax Year or Operating Year. Nothing herein contained shall restrict Landlord from issuing a Landlord’s Statement
at any time there is an increase in Taxes or Operating Expenses during any Tax Year or Operating Year or any time thereafter. 
 Section 3.5. If the Rent Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs on a date other than July 1 or June 30, respectively, any Tenant’s Tax Payment under this Article 3 for the Tax Year in which such Rent
Commencement Date or Expiration Date occurs shall be apportioned in that percentage which the number of days in the period from the Rent Commencement Date to June 30 or from July 1 to the Expiration Date, as the case may be, both
inclusive, bears to the total number of days in such Tax Year. If the Rent Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs on a date other than January 1 or December 31, respectively, any Tenant’s Operating Payment under this
Article 3 for the Operating Year in which such Rent Commencement Date or Expiration Date occurs shall be apportioned in that percentage which the number of days in the period from the Rent Commencement Date to December 31 or from
January 1 to the Expiration Date, as the case may be, both inclusive, bears to the total number of 

  

 -18- 








 
days in such Operating Year. In the event of a termination of this Lease, any Escalation Rent under this Article 3 shall be paid or adjusted within
thirty (30) days after submission of a Landlord’s Statement. In no event shall Fixed Rent ever be reduced by operation of this Article 3 and the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the provisions of this Article
3 with respect to any Escalation Rent shall survive the Expiration Date. 
 Section 3.6. Any Landlord’s Statement sent to
Tenant shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless, within thirty (30) days after such Landlord’s Statement is sent, Tenant shall send a written notice to Landlord objecting to such Landlord’s Statement and specifying, to the
extent reasonably practicable, the respects in which such Landlord’s Statement is disputed. If Tenant shall send such notice with respect to a Landlord’s Operating Statement, Tenant may select and pay an independent certified public
accountant who may examine Landlord’s books and records relating solely to disputed aspects of the Operating Expenses to determine the accuracy of Landlord’s Operating Statement. Tenant recognizes the confidential nature of Landlord’s
books and records, and agrees that any information obtained by Tenant’s accountant during any examination shall be maintained in strict confidence by such accountant, without revealing same to any person (except as required by law), including
Tenant (except that Tenant’s accountant may inform Tenant of the amount of any overpayment claimed to have been made by Tenant). If, after such examination, such accountant shall dispute such Landlord’s Operating Statement, either party
may refer the decision of the issues raised to a reputable independent firm of certified public accountants, selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the decision of such
accountants shall be conclusively binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses involved in resolving such dispute shall be borne by the unsuccessful party (and if both parties are partially unsuccessful, the accountants shall apportion the fees
and expenses between the parties based upon the degree of success of each party). Notwithstanding the giving of such notice by Tenant, and pending the resolution of any such dispute, Tenant shall pay to Landlord when due the amount shown on any such
Landlord’s Statement, as provided in this Article 3. 
 Section 3.7. In determining the amount of the Base Operating Factor
and Operating Expenses, if less than 95% of the Building’s rentable area shall have been occupied by tenant(s) at any time during the calendar year 1997 or any Operating Year, Operating Expenses, for the purposes of the Base Operating Factor
and for any Operating Year, shall be adjusted to the amount which would normally be expected to be incurred had 95% of all such areas been occupied throughout the calendar year 1997 or any Operating Year. The provisions of this paragraph with
respect to adjustments of Operating Expenses for vacancy, shall apply only to Operating Expenses which are variable and which increase in 

  

 -19- 








 
the same relationship to the increase in occupancy in the Building and shall not apply to any Operating Expenses which do not vary with the level of
occupancy in the Building. 
 ARTICLE 4 
 ELECTRICITY 
 Section 4.1. Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules, regulations, terms and conditions
applicable to service, equipment, wiring and requirements of the public utility supplying electricity to the Building. Tenant shall not use any electrical equipment which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would interfere with the electrical
service to other tenants of the Building. In the event that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Tenant’s electrical requirements necessitate installation of an additional riser, risers or other proper and necessary equipment, Landlord
shall notify Tenant of the same. Tenant shall thereupon immediately cease use of the equipment requiring the installation of such additional riser, risers or other equipment and if Tenant desires to use such equipment, Tenant shall request (in a
writing delivered to Landlord within five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of such notice) that Landlord install the necessary additional riser, risers or other equipment. If Tenant shall fail to cease using such equipment as set forth in
the prior sentence, or if Tenant shall make the request set forth in the prior sentence, then Landlord shall install such additional riser, risers or other equipment that Landlord reasonably determines to be necessary to accommodate Tenant’s
electrical requirements, within the limits of the switchgear; provided, however, that Landlord reasonably determines that such installation is practicable. Any such installation shall be made at Tenant’s sole expense, chargeable and collectible
as Additional Rent and paid within ten (10) days after the rendition of a bill to Tenant therefor. Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure or defect in the supply or character of electric service furnished to the
Premises by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the utility serving the Building or for any other reason not attributable to the gross negligence of Landlord, whether electricity is provided by public or private utility or by any
electricity generation system owned and operated by Landlord. 
 Section 4.2. Tenant shall arrange to obtain electric energy directly
from the public utility company furnishing electric energy to the Building. Such electric energy may, at Tenant’s option, be furnished to Tenant by means of existing Building System feeders, risers and wiring to the extent that the same are, in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment, available, suitable and safe for such purpose. All meters and additional panel boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and equipment whatsoever which may be requested by Tenant or otherwise required
to obtain electric energy directly from such 

  

 -20- 








 
public utility company, whether currently available for Tenant’s use or requiring Landlord’s installation, shall be furnished and installed by
Landlord in locations selected by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (at the Building standard rates on the date the same shall be furnished and installed by Landlord); but Landlord may, at its option, before commencing any such work or
at any time thereafter, require Tenant to furnish to Landlord such security, in form (including, without limitation, a bond issued by a corporate surety licensed to do business in New York) and amount, as Landlord shall deem necessary to assure the
payment for such work by Tenant. 
 Section 4.3. Tenant, at Landlord’s option, shall purchase from Landlord all lighting tubes,
lamps, bulbs and ballasts used in the Premises, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s reasonable charges for providing the same (which shall be at competitive rates) and for installing the same, as Additional Rent. 
 ARTICLE 5 
 USE AND OCCUPANCY

 Section 5.1. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose. 
 Section 5.2. Tenant shall not use the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used, (1) for the business
of photographic, multilith or multigraph reproductions or offset printing, (2) for a retail commercial banking, thrift institution, loan company, trust company, depository or safe deposit business accepting deposits from the general public,
(3) for the sale of travelers checks, money orders, drafts, foreign exchange or letters of credit or for the receipt of money for transmission, (4) by the United States government, the City or State of New York, any foreign government, the
United Nations or any agency or department of any of the foregoing having or asserting sovereign immunity, (5) for the preparation, dispensing or consumption of food or beverages in any manner whatsoever, except that Tenant may establish and
maintain an area within the Premises for a pantry (containing a sink, Dwyer unit, refrigerator and dishwasher) in which Tenant may warm food (on such Dwyer unit) for consumption only by Tenant’s employees who work in the Premises (and their
business guests) and not for the sale of food to any Persons other than such employees (and such business guests), provided, however, that no flue or exhaust vent shall be necessary for such warming and that no odors shall be emitted from the
Premises as a result of such cooking and that no such use shall violate the certificate of occupancy for the Building, any Requirements or any other provision of this Lease, (6) as an employment agency, day-care facility, labor union, school,
or vocational training center (except for the training of employees of Tenant intended to be employed at the Premises), (7) 

  

 -21- 








 
as a barber shop, beauty salon or manicure shop, (8) for product display activities (such as those of a manufacturer’s representative), (9) as
offices of any public utility company, (10) for data processing activities (other than those which are ancillary to an otherwise Permitted Use), (11) for the conduct of an auction, (12) for health care activities, (13) for
clerical support services or offices of public stenographers or typists (other than those which are ancillary to an otherwise Permitted Use), (14) as reservation centers for airlines or travel agencies, (15) for retail or manufacturing
use, or (16) as studios for radio, television or other media. Furthermore, the Premises shall not be used for any purpose that would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, tend to lower the first-class character of the Building, create
unreasonable or excessive elevator or floor loads, impair or interfere with any of the Building operations or the proper and economic heating, air-conditioning, cleaning or any other services of the Building, interfere with the use of the other
areas of the Building by any other tenants, or impair the appearance of the Building. Neither Tenant nor Persons Within Tenant’s Control shall use, generate, store, treat and or dispose of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the
Premises, the Building or the Land. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Tenant shall be entitled to use ordinary cleaning supplies and consumer products (such as hairspray and prescription medication) in the Premises for their intended uses and
subject to, and in accordance with, all applicable Requirements. 
 Section 5.3. Tenant shall not suffer or permit the Premises or any
portion thereof to be used by the public, as such, without restriction or in such manner as would impair Landlord’s or any Lessor’s title to or estate in the Premises or any portion thereof, or in such manner as might reasonably make
possible a claim or claims of adverse usage, adverse possession against Landlord or any Lessor or prescription by the public, as such, or of implied dedication, of the Premises or any portion thereof. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord does
not hereby consent, expressly or by implication to the unrestricted use or possession of the whole or any portion of the Premises by the public, as such. 
 ARTICLE 6 
 ALTERATIONS 
 Section 6.1. (A) Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any Alterations without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that:
(i) the outside appearance of the Building shall not be affected; (ii) the strength of the Building shall not be affected; (iii) the structural parts of the Building shall not be adversely affected; (iv) no part of the Building
outside of the Premises shall be affected; and (v) the proper functioning of the 

  

 -22- 








 
Building Systems shall not be adversely affected and the use of such systems by Tenant shall not be increased beyond Tenant’s allocable portion of the
reserve capacity thereof, if any. If consent to any Alterations is not given, Landlord shall notify Tenant in sufficient detail to enable Tenant to amend its plans and specifications regarding such Alterations to comply with Landlord’s
objections. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, without Landlord’s prior written consent or approval, may make non-structural Alterations (x) for which the cost of labor and materials (as estimated by Landlord’s architect, engineer
or contractor) is less than $10,000 individually or $25,000 in the aggregate with any other Alteration constructed in the twelve (12) month period preceding the Alteration in question and (y) that do not violate the provisions contained in
clauses (i) through (v) of this Section 6.1(A); provided that (I) at least ten (10) days prior to commencing any such Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with three (3) sets of detailed plans and
specifications (except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1(B)) that comply with all Requirements and (II) Tenant shall comply with all other requirements of this Article 6. 
 (B) (1) Prior to making any Alterations, Tenant shall (i) submit to Landlord three (3) sets of detailed plans and
specifications (including layout, architectural, electrical, mechanical and structural drawings), that comply with all Requirements, for each proposed Alteration, and Tenant shall not commence any such Alteration without first obtaining
Landlord’s approval of such plans and specifications, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to non-structural Alterations not affecting any Building Systems, (ii) at Tenant’s expense, obtain all permits,
approvals and certificates required by any Government Authorities, and (iii) furnish to Landlord duplicate original policies or certificates thereof of worker’s compensation insurance (covering all persons to be employed by Tenant, and
Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors, in connection with such Alteration) and commercial general liability insurance (including premises operation, bodily injury, personal injury, death, independent contractors, products and completed
operations, broad form contractual liability and broad form property damage coverages) in such form, with such companies, for such periods and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably approve, naming Landlord and its agents, any Lessor and any
Mortgagee, as additional insureds. Landlord hereby approves the layout plans for the Initial Alterations described in Schedule F annexed to this Lease (provided that nothing contained in this sentence shall diminish Tenant’s obligation
to comply with any provision of this Lease relating to the Initial Alterations, including, without limitation, the submission of full plans and specifications for the Initial Alterations to Landlord for approval in accordance with the terms of this
Lease, nor shall anything contained in this sentence diminish any rights of Landlord under this Lease, including, without limitation, the right to approve such plans and specifications for the Initial Alterations). Upon completion of each such
Alteration, Tenant, 

  

 -23- 








 
at Tenant’s expense, shall obtain certificates of final approval of such Alterations required by any Government Authority and shall furnish Landlord
with copies thereof, together with the “as-built” plans and specifications for such Alterations. All Alterations shall be made and performed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor as approved by Landlord (including any
changes thereto, or variations therefrom, approved by Landlord), all Requirements and the Rules and Regulations. All materials and equipment to be incorporated in the Premises as a result of any Alterations shall be first quality and no such
materials or equipment shall be subject to any lien, encumbrance, chattel mortgage, title retention or security agreement. In addition, no such Alteration for which the cost of labor and materials (as reasonably estimated by Landlord’s
architect, engineer or contractor) is in excess of $25,000, either individually or in the aggregate with any other Alteration constructed in any twelve (12) month period, shall be undertaken prior to Tenant’s delivering to Landlord such
security for timely lien-free completion thereof as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and such Alteration shall be performed only under the supervision of a licensed architect satisfactory to Landlord. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
Tenant shall not be required to post security (x) with respect to any Initial Alterations, or (ii) in an amount in excess of the cost of the necessary labor and materials (as reasonably estimated by Landlord’s architect, engineer or
contractor). Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection B(l) (i) of this Section 6.1, with respect to any Alterations for which the cost of labor and materials (as estimated by Landlord’s architect or contractor) is less than
Twenty-Five Thousand ($25,000) Dollars, either individually or in the aggregate with any other Alterations constructed in any six (6) month period, Tenant shall not be obligated to submit the detailed plans and specifications referred to in
subsection (B) (1) (i) (unless required by any Requirements), but in lieu of such detailed plans and specifications, Tenant shall submit to Landlord three (3) sets of documentation sufficient adequately to inform Landlord and its
architect and engineer of the Alterations proposed to be made by Tenant. 
 (2) Subject to the reasonableness standard set
forth in subsection (B) (1) above, Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any plans and specifications in part, to reserve approval of items shown thereon pending its review and approval of other plans and specifications, and to
condition its approval upon Tenant making revisions to the plans and specifications or supplying additional information. Tenant agrees that any review or approval by Landlord of any plans and/or specifications with respect to any Alteration is
solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any representation, warranty or liability whatsoever to Tenant or any other Person with respect to the adequacy, correctness or sufficiency thereof in compliance with Requirements, or otherwise.

  

 -24- 








 (3) Landlord shall notify Tenant within 15 Business Days after the receipt by Landlord of
Tenant’s original submission of plans and specifications for any Alterations and within 10 Business Days after the receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s resubmission of plans and specifications for any Alterations whether Landlord approves or
disapproves (specifying the reasons for such disapproval) of the Alterations shown in such plans and specifications. If Landlord fails to approve or disapprove (specifying the reasons for such disapproval) Tenant’s plans and specifications
within the time period specified in the preceding sentence, Tenant shall be entitled to send Landlord a notice stating in capitalized and underlined words, “YOU HAVE FAILED TO RESPOND TO THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS SUBMITTED TO YOU ON
[DATE] WITHIN THE [INSERT NUMBER] BUSINESS DAY PERIOD SPECIFIED IN SECTION 6.1 (B) (3) OF OUR LEASE AGREEMENT DATED [DATE]. IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND THERETO WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE OF GIVING OF THIS NOTICE, SUCH PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY LANDLORD.” If Landlord fails to approve or disapprove (specifying the reasons for such disapproval) Tenant’s plans and specifications within 10 Business Days after receipt of such
notice, Tenant’s plans and specifications shall be deemed approved. 
 (C) Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant
shall be permitted to perform Alterations (for which Tenant has obtained Landlord’s consent pursuant to Sections 6.1(A) and 6.1(B) above), during Operating Hours, provided that such work does not interfere with or interrupt the
operation and maintenance of the Building (as determined by Landlord) or unreasonably interfere with or interrupt the use and occupancy of the Building by any other tenants in the Building. Otherwise, Alterations shall be performed at such times and
in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate. Except as provided in the penultimate sentence of this subsection (C), all Alterations shall become a part of the Building and shall be Landlord’s property from and after
the installation thereof and may not be removed or changed without Landlord’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on or before the date Landlord approves Tenant’s plans and specifications (or other documentation) for such
Alterations, Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord is reserving the right to require Tenant to remove those Alterations that exceed or are different than the customary standard types of Alterations for general, executive and administrative business
offices in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, then Landlord prior to the Expiration Date, may require Tenant to remove such specified Alterations and to repair and restore in a good and workmanlike manner to Building standard
condition (reasonable wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible pursuant to the provisions of Article 13 excepted) any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. All Tenant’s Property shall remain
the property of Tenant and, on or before the Expiration Date, may be removed from the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s option, provided, however, that Tenant shall repair and restore in a good and 

  

 -25- 








 
workmanlike manner any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. The provisions of this Section 6.1 (C) shall survive
the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 
 (D) (1) All Alterations shall be performed, at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense, by contractors, subcontractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior to Tenant making any Alterations, Landlord or Manager, at Tenant’s request, shall furnish
Tenant with a list of contractors, subcontractors and mechanics who may perform Alterations in or to the Premises on behalf of Tenant, which list shall specify at least three subcontractors in each trade. If, within six months after Landlord shall
furnish Tenant with such list, Tenant shall enter into a contract with any contractor set forth on the list, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent to such contractor unless, prior to entering into a contract with such
contractor or the commencement of work by the contractor, Landlord notifies Tenant that such contractor has been removed from the list. 
 (2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Alteration affecting any Building System, (i) Tenant shall employ Landlord’s or the Manager’s designated contractor, and (ii) the Alteration
shall, at Tenant’s expense, be designed by either Landlord’s or the Manager’s engineer. 
 (E) (1) Any
mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or the Real Property for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant shall be cancelled or discharged by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, within 20 days
after such lien shall be filed, by payment or filing of the bond required by law, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims, losses or damages resulting therefrom by reason thereof.
Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant upon credit, and that no mechanic’s or other lien for any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the reversion
or other estate or interest of Landlord in and to the Premises. 
 (2) If Tenant shall fail to discharge such mechanic’s
lien within the aforesaid period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by
deposit in court or bonding, and in any such event, Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such mechanic’s lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment, if
any, in favor of the lienor, with interest, costs and allowances. 
  

 -26- 








 (3) Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid charges and for all expenses of
Landlord (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and and disbursements) incurred in defending any such action, discharging said lien or in procuring the discharge of said lien, with interest on all such amounts at the maximum legal rate
of interest then chargeable to Tenant from the date of payment, shall be repaid by Tenant within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, and all amounts so repayable, together with such interest, shall be considered Additional Rent.

 Section 6.2. In the case of Alterations (other than the Initial Alterations) costing in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand ($25,000.00)
Dollars, Tenant shall pay to the Manager a fee (the “Alteration Fee”) equal to seven (7%) percent of the cost thereof. Such Alteration Fee or any portion thereof shall be paid by Tenant to the Manager within 10 Business Days
after the commencement of such Alterations. In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within ten Business Days after demand therefor, for any out-of-pocket expense incurred by Landlord for reviewing the plans and specifications for such
Alterations (including the Initial Alterations) or inspecting the progress of completion of the same. 
 Section 6.3. Tenant shall
furnish to Landlord copies of records of all Alterations and of the cost thereof within fifteen (15) days after the completion of such Alterations. In connection with any filings by Tenant for permits, approvals or certificates for
Tenant’s Alterations, Landlord shall, without incurring any filing or similar fee and at no cost to Landlord, cooperate with Tenant and execute any documents reasonably required by any Government Authority to enable Tenant to obtain such
permits, approvals or certificates. 
 Section 6.4. In consideration of Tenant’s acceptance of the Premises “as-is”, and
of Tenant’s performance of the Initial Alterations, Landlord shall pay up to but not in excess of Landlord’s Contribution set forth on the Reference Page for Tenant’s actual costs of performing or installing in the Premises the
Initial Alterations, as shown in the plans and specifications referred to in Section 6.1 for such Alterations. For purposes of the preceding sentence, actual costs of performing or installing such Alterations shall include all so-called
“hard” and “soft” construction costs, such as costs and fees for design and engineering, Tenant’s professional and construction consultants, reasonable moving expenses, telecommunications equipment and furniture. Provided
that there shall not then be existing an Event of Default under the provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall pay for such costs by paying the contractors, suppliers or consultants designated by Tenant or by reimbursing Tenant (at Tenant’s
option) from time to time during the progress of such Alterations (but not more than once per month) within 30 days after receipt from Tenant of (i) supporting documentation therefor approved by Tenant, accompanied by a certification of 

  

 -27- 








 
the architect supervising the work (for work covered by such architect’s design) and a certification of an officer by a Tenant, stating that the portion
of the work for which Tenant is applying for payment has been completed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, (ii) itemized bills for labor and materials constituting portions of such Alterations
submitted by the contractors, suppliers or consultants of the services or materials rendered (and where Tenant elects to be reimbursed, such bills shall have been marked “paid” by the contractor, supplier or consultant), and
(iii) waivers of liens evidencing the payment for any prior work performed and materials supplied for which Tenant previously applied for payment, executed and acknowledged by the contractors, suppliers and consultants which are entitled by
statute to file mechanics liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.4, if, at the time Landlord’s payment is required to be made, Tenant is in arrears in the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional
Rent, then Landlord may offset the amount of such arrearages against the payment due from Landlord under this Section 6.4. If there shall be existing an Event of Default hereunder at the time Tenant makes application for payment under
this Section 6.4, Landlord shall advise Tenant and if Tenant shall cure the same, Tenant shall have the right to reapply to Landlord for payments due Tenant under this Section 6.4. 
 ARTICLE 7 
 REPAIRS; FLOOR LOAD

 Section 7.1. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall take good care of the Premises and the fixtures, equipment and
appurtenances therein and make all repairs thereto as and when needed to preserve them in good working order and condition, except for (a) reasonable wear and tear, (b) obsolescence and (c) damage for which Tenant is not responsible
pursuant to the provisions of Article 13. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.1, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any Building System. The design and decoration of the elevator areas of each floor of the Premises
and the public corridors of any floor of the Premises occupied by more than one (1) occupant shall be under the sole control of Landlord. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Lease to the contrary, all damage or injury to the
Premises, and all damage or injury to any other part of the Building, or to its fixtures, equipment and appurtenances (including Building Systems), whether requiring structural or non-structural repairs, caused by the moving of Tenant’s
Property or caused by or resulting from any act or omission of, or Alterations made by, Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, shall be repaired by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord
(if the required repairs are non-structural in nature and do not affect any Building System), or by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost 

  

 -28- 








 
and expense (if the required repairs are structural in nature or affect any Building System). All of the aforesaid repairs shall be performed in a manner and
with materials and design of first class and quality consistent with first-class office buildings in Manhattan, City and State of New York, and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 6. If Tenant shall fail, after 15 days
notice (or such shorter period as may be required because of an emergency), to proceed with due diligence to make repairs required to be made by Tenant, the same may be made by Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, and the expenses thereof incurred by
Landlord, with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate, shall be paid to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within 15 days after rendition of a bill or statement therefor. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of any defective condition known to
Tenant in any Building System located in, servicing or passing through the Premises. 
 Section 7.2. Tenant shall not place a load upon
any floor of the Premises which exceeds the load per square foot which such floor was designed to carry and which is allowed by law (which, on the date of this Lease, is 50 pounds per usable square foot). Tenant shall not locate or move any safe,
heavy machinery, heavy equipment, business machines, freight, bulky matter or fixtures into or out of the Building without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Tenant shall make payment to
Landlord of Landlord’s out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith (if such move is not part of an Alteration, including the Initial Alterations). If such safe, machinery, equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixture requires special handling
(as determined by Landlord), Tenant shall employ only persons holding a Master Rigger’s license to do said work. All work in connection therewith shall comply with the Requirements, and shall be done during such hours as Landlord may reasonably
designate. Business machines and mechanical equipment shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, in settings sufficient, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance.

 Section 7.3. Landlord shall operate, maintain and make all necessary repairs (both structural and non-structural) to the Building
Systems and the public portions of the Building, both exterior and interior, in conformance with standards applicable to first-class office buildings in Manhattan, City and State of New York, except for those repairs for which Tenant is responsible
pursuant to any other provision of this Lease. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises in making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements; provided, however, that
Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs in connection with such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Tenant shall so request, Landlord shall employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime 

  

 -29- 








 
or other premium pay rates or incur other overtime costs in making such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, provided Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as Additional Rent, within 15 days after demand therefor, an amount equal to the excess costs incurred by Landlord by reason of compliance with Tenant’s request. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, there shall be no allowance
to Tenant for a diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Landlord by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Landlord, Tenant or others making, or failing to make, any repairs, alterations, additions
or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises, or its fixtures, appurtenances or equipment. Nothing contained in this Section 7.3 shall relieve Landlord from liability to Tenant resulting from the wilful misconduct
or negligence of Landlord or its employees, contractors or agents. 
 ARTICLE 8 
 WINDOW CLEANING 
 Section 8.1. Tenant shall not clean, nor require, permit,
suffer or allow any window in the Premises to be cleaned, from the outside in violation of Section 202 of the Labor Law, or any other applicable law, or of the rules of the Board of Standards and Appeals, or of any other board or body having or
asserting jurisdiction. 
 ARTICLE 9 
 REQUIREMENTS OF LAW 
 Section 9.1. Tenant shall not do, and shall not permit Persons Within Tenant’s Control to
do, any act or thing in or upon the Premises or the Building which will violate any Requirements. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, take all action, including any required Alterations necessary to comply with all Requirements
(including, but not limited to, applicable terms of Local Laws No. 5 of 1973, No. 16 of 1984, No. 76 of 1985, No. 58 of 1987 and the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”), each as modified and
supplemented from time to time) which shall impose any violation, order or duty upon Landlord or Tenant arising from, or in connection with, the Premises, Tenant’s occupancy, use or manner of use of the Premises (including, without limitation,
any occupancy, use or manner of use that constitutes a “place of public accommodation” under the ADA), or any installations in the Premises, or required by reason of a breach of any of Tenant’s covenants or agreements under this
Lease, whether or not such Requirements shall now be in effect or hereafter enacted or issued, and whether or not any work required shall be ordinary or extraordinary or foreseen or unforeseen at the date hereof. Notwithstanding the preceding
sentence, Tenant shall not be obligated to perform any Alterations 

  

 -30- 








 
necessary to comply with any Requirements, unless compliance shall be required by reason of (i) any cause or condition arising out of any Alterations or
installations in the Premises (whether made by Tenant or by Landlord on behalf of Tenant), or (ii) Tenant’s particular use, manner of use or occupancy on behalf of Tenant of the Premises, or (iii) any breach of any of Tenant’s
covenants or agreements under this Lease, or (iv) any wrongful act or omission by Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, or (v) Tenant’s use or manner of use or occupancy of the Premises as a “place of public
accommodation” within the meaning of the ADA. 
 Section 9.2. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense, comply at all times with all Requirements governing the use, generation, storage, treatment and/or disposal of any “Hazardous Materials” (which term shall mean any biologically or chemically active or other toxic
or hazardous wastes, pollutants or substances, including, without limitation, asbestos, PCBs, petroleum products and by-products, substances defined or listed as “hazardous substances” or “toxic substances” or similarly
identified in or pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq., and as hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6010, et seq., any chemical
substance or mixture regulated under the Toxic Substance Control Act of 1976, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 2601, et seq., any “toxic pollutant” under the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 466 et seq., as amended, any hazardous air pollutant under
the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq., hazardous materials identified in or pursuant to the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. 1802, et seq., and any hazardous or toxic substances or pollutant regulated under any
other Requirements). Tenant shall agree to execute, from time to time, at Landlord’s request, affidavits, representations and the like concerning Tenant’s best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials in, on,
under or about the Premises, the Building or the Land. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless all Indemnitees from and against any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising by reason of any
clean-up, removal, remediation, detoxification action or any other activity required of any Indemnitees by any Government Authority by reason of the presence in or about the Building or the Premises of any Hazardous Materials, as a result of or in
connection with the act or omission of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control or the breach of this Lease by Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control. The foregoing covenants and indemnity shall survive the expiration or any
termination of this Lease. Landlord represents that, to Landlord’s knowledge, as of the date of this Lease, the Premises are free of Hazardous Materials. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an ACP-5 certificate in respect of the Premises.

  

 -31- 








 Section 9.3. If Tenant shall receive notice of any violation of, or defaults under, any
Requirements, liens or other encumbrances applicable to the Premises, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord. 
 Section 9.4. If any governmental license or permit shall be required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant’s business and if the failure to secure such license or permit would, in any way, affect Landlord or the Building,
then Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall promptly procure and thereafter maintain, submit for inspection by Landlord, and at all times comply with the terms and conditions of, each such license or permit. 
 Section 9.5. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and after notice to Landlord, may contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted
diligently and in good faith, the legality or applicability of any Requirement affecting the Premises provided that: (a) neither Landlord nor any Indemnitees shall be subject to criminal penalties, nor shall the Real Property or any part
thereof be subject to being condemned or vacated, nor shall the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building be suspended or threatened to be suspended, by reason of non-compliance or by reason of such contest; (b) before the
commencement of such contest, if Landlord or any Indemnitees may be subject to any civil fines or penalties or if Landlord may be liable to any independent third party as a result of such non-compliance, then Tenant shall furnish either (i) a
bond protecting Landlord of a surety company satisfactory to Landlord, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and in an amount at least equal to one hundred twenty (120%) percent of Landlord’s estimate of the sum of
(A) the cost of such compliance, (B) the penalties or fines that may accrue by reason of such non-compliance (as reasonably estimated by Landlord) and (C) the amount of such liability to independent third parties, and shall indemnify
Landlord (and any Indemnitees) against the cost of such compliance and liability resulting from or incurred in connection with such contest or non-compliance; or (ii) other security reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Landlord;
(c) such non-compliance or contest shall not constitute or result in a violation (either with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) of the terms of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, or if such Superior Lease or Mortgage conditions
such non-compliance or contest upon the taking of action or furnishing of security by Landlord, such action shall be taken or such security shall be furnished at the expense of Tenant; and (d) Tenant shall keep Landlord regularly advised as to
the status of such proceedings. 
  

 -32- 








 ARTICLE 10 
 SUBORDINATION 
 Section 10.1. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to each Superior Lease
and to each Mortgage, whether made prior to or after the execution of this Lease, and to all renewals, extensions, supplements, amendments, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof or thereto, substitutions therefor, and advances made
thereunder. This clause shall be self-operative and no further agreement of subordination shall be required to make the interest of any Lessor or Mortgagee superior to the interest of Tenant hereunder. In confirmation of such subordination, however,
Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver, at its own cost and expense, any document, in recordable form if requested, that Landlord, any Lessor or any Mortgagee may request to evidence such subordination; and if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge
or deliver any such document within 15 days after request therefor, Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such document for
and on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall not knowingly do anything that would constitute a default under any Superior Lease or Mortgage, or knowingly omit to do anything that Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease so as to cause
Landlord to be in default thereunder (and if Tenant shall do so (or, as the case may be, omit to do so), Tenant shall, upon demand by Landlord, immediately cease doing same or perform such omitted act, as the case may be). If, in connection with the
financing of the Real Property, the Building or the interest of the lessee under any Superior Lease, or if, in connection with the entering into of a Superior Lease, any lending institution or Lessor, as the case may be, requests reasonable
modifications of this Lease that do not increase rent or change the Term of this Lease, or materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall make such modifications. 
 Section 10.2. If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, any Superior Lease shall terminate or shall be terminated for any reason, or any
Mortgagee comes into possession of the Real Property or the Building or the estate created by any Superior Lease by receiver or otherwise, Tenant agrees, at the election and upon demand of any owner of the Real Property or the Building, or of the
Lessor, or of any Mortgagee in possession of the Real Property or the Building, to attorn, from time to time, to any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee or any person acquiring the interest of Landlord as a result of any such termination, or as a result
of a foreclosure of the Mortgage or the granting of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, upon the then executory terms and conditions of this Lease (except as provided below), for the remainder of the Term, provided that such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee,
as the case may be, or receiver caused to be appointed by any of the foregoing, is then entitled to possession of the 

  

 -33- 








 
Premises. Any such attornment shall be made upon the condition that no such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee shall be: 
 (1) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord); or 
 (2) subject to any defense or offsets (except as expressly set forth in this Lease) which Tenant may have against any prior landlord
(including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord) ; or 
 (3) bound by any payment of Rental which Tenant might
have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord); or 
 (4) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee succeeded to any prior landlord’s interest; or 
 (5) bound by any obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Premises except for (i) repairs and maintenance
pursuant to the provisions of Article 7, (ii) repairs to the Premises or any part thereof as a result of damage by fire or other casualty pursuant to Article 13, but only to the extent that such repairs can be reasonably made from
the net proceeds of any insurance actually made available to such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee and (iii) repairs to the Premises as a result of a partial condemnation pursuant to Article 14, but only to the extent that such repairs can be
reasonably made from the net proceeds of any award made available to such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee. The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall inure to the benefit of any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, shall apply notwithstanding
that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the termination of any such Superior Lease by summary proceedings or otherwise, and shall be self-operative upon any such demand, and no further agreement shall be required to give effect to
said provisions. Tenant, however, upon demand of any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, shall execute, from time to time, agreements in confirmation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2, satisfactory to any such owner, Lessor
or Mortgagee, and acknowledging such attornment and setting forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which affords Tenant any right to terminate this
Lease or to surrender possession of the Premises if the Superior Lease is terminated. Nothing contained in this Section 10.2 shall be construed to impair any right otherwise exercisable by any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee. 

Section 10.3. If requested by any Mortgagee, any Lessor or Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver, at Tenant’s 

  

 -34- 








 
own cost and expense, any document in accordance with the terms of this Article 10, in recordable form, to evidence such subordination. 
 Section 10.4. Landlord shall cause the Existing Mortgagees to enter into and deliver an agreement in recordable form with Tenant, substantially in
the form annexed to this Lease as Schedule E. With respect to any Mortgage entered into after the date of this Lease (a “New Mortgage”), the provisions of Section 10.1 of this Lease shall only operate to subject
and subordinate this Lease to the New Mortgage if the holder of the New Mortgage shall unconditionally deliver a non-disturbance agreement to Tenant in the form generally used by the holder of such New Mortgage, provided the same contains terms that
are customarily found in such agreements. 
 Section 10.5. (A) As long as any Superior Lease or Mortgage exists, Tenant shall not
seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of Landlord until Tenant has given written notice of such act or omission to all Lessors and Mortgagees at such addresses as may have been furnished to Tenant by such Lessors and
Mortgagees and, if any such Lessor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, notifies Tenant within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice of its intention to remedy such act or omission, until a reasonable period of time shall have elapsed
following the giving of such notice, during which period such Lessors and Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy such act or omission. 
 (B) Tenant shall not terminate, nor shall this Lease be terminable by Tenant, by reason of any termination of the Ground Lease, by summary
proceedings or otherwise and Tenant shall, without further instruments of attornment, attorn to Ground Lessor (unless Ground Lessor, if not prohibited under the Ground Lease from doing so, elects, in writing, in connection therewith, to terminate
this Lease and the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises). Tenant shall waive the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which may give or purport to give Tenant any right of election to terminate this Lease or
to surrender possession of the Premises in the event the Ground Lease is terminated, and this Lease shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any such proceeding or termination of the Ground Lease (unless and until Ground Lessor so elects to
terminate this Lease and extinguish the leasehold estate demised hereunder). 
 Section 10.6. (A) Tenant acknowledges that any
Lessor may prohibit any modification of this Lease that purports to reduce the Rental, shorten the Term or otherwise materially adversely affect the rights of Landlord hereunder and may prohibit the cancellation or surrender of this Lease without
the prior consent of the Lessor thereunder. 
  

 -35- 








 (B) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Lease to the contrary, and
without in any way limiting the provisions of subsection (A) above, this Lease shall not be modified or amended so as to reduce the Rental, shorten the Term or otherwise materially adversely affect the rights of Landlord hereunder, nor shall
Landlord permit the cancellation or accept the surrender of this Lease, without the prior written consent of Ground Lessor in each instance, which consent Ground Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold, except that Ground Lessor’s consent shall
not be required (i) to the termination of this Lease by reason of a default on the part of Tenant hereunder or to the institution or prosecution of any action or proceeding against Tenant by reason of such a default or to the execution of any
judgment, warrant or other mandate obtained therein, or (ii) if at the time of such modification or amendment, (y) fewer than five years (including any exercised renewal options) shall then remain in the Term of this Lease, or (z) the
annual Fixed Rent payable hereunder (and under any other leases between Landlord and Tenant of space in the Building) shall then be equal to or less than 10% of the gross rent roll per annum under all leases affecting the portion of the Building
covered by the Ground Lease. 
 Section 10.7. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease, Landlord is
the tenant under the Ground Lease and has full power and authority to enter into this Lease. 
 Section 10.8. At any time and from time
to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant by Landlord or a Lessor or Mortgagee, Tenant shall, without charge, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing addressed to such party as Landlord, Lessor or
Mortgagee, as the case may be, may designate, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, Lessor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, certifying all or any of the following: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if
there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications); (ii) whether the Term has commenced (and, if so, the Commencement Date and the Fixed Expiration Date) and whether Fixed Rent
and Additional Rent have become payable hereunder and, if so, the first date on which Fixed Rent became payable and the dates to which they have been paid; (iii) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate, Landlord
is in default in performance of any of the terms of this Lease and, if so, specifying each such Event of Default of which the signer may have knowledge; (iv) whether Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises; (v) whether any
commitments, arrangements or understandings made to induce Tenant to enter into this Lease have been satisfied; (vi) whether any improvements required to be made by Landlord to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy have been
completed in accordance with this Lease; (vii) whether Tenant has made any claim against Landlord under this Lease and, if so, the nature thereof and the dollar amount, if any, of such 

  

 -36- 








 
claim; (viii) either that Tenant does not know of any default in the performance of any provision of this Lease or specifying the details of any default
of which Tenant may have knowledge and stating what action Tenant is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto; (ix) that, to the knowledge of Tenant, there are no proceedings pending or threatened against Tenant before or by any court or
administrative agency which, if adversely decided, would materially and adversely affect the financial condition or operations of Tenant or, if any such proceedings are pending or threatened to the knowledge of Tenant, specifying and describing the
same; and (x) such further information with respect to the Lease or the Premises as Landlord may reasonably request or Lessor or Mortgagee may require; it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by
Landlord, any prospective purchaser of the Real Property or any part thereof or of the interest of Landlord in any part thereof, by any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee, by any Lessor or prospective Lessor, by any tenant or prospective tenant of
the Real Property or any part thereof, or by any prospective assignee of any Mortgage. 
 ARTICLE 11 
 RULES AND REGULATIONS 
 Section 11.1. Tenant and Persons Within Tenant’s Control shall comply with the Rules and Regulations. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and
Regulations or the terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease against any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, visitors or licensees. Landlord shall not
discriminate against Tenant in enforcing the Rules and Regulations. 
 ARTICLE 12 
 INSURANCE, PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE; REIMBURSEMENT 
 Section 12.1.
(A) No Tenant shall entrust any property to any Building employee. Any Building employee to whom any property is entrusted by or on behalf of Tenant in violation of the foregoing prohibition shall be deemed to be acting as Tenant’s agent
with respect to such property and neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property of Tenant or of others entrusted to employees of the Building, nor for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant
by theft or otherwise. Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall not be liable for any damage to any of Tenant’s Property or for interruption of Tenant’s business, however caused, including but not limited to, damage caused by other
tenants or persons in the Building or caused by construction of any private, public or 

  

 -37- 








 
quasi-public work. Landlord shall not be liable for any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building (notwithstanding Landlord’s obligation to
repair any such latent defect under the circumstances set forth in Section 7.3 of this Lease). Nothing contained in this Section 12.1 shall relieve Landlord from any liability to Tenant resulting from the wilful misconduct or
negligence of Landlord or its employees, contractors or agents. 
 (B) If at any time any windows of the Premises are
temporarily closed, darkened or covered for any reason, including Landlord’s own acts, or if any of such windows are permanently closed, darkened or covered by reason of any Requirement, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage Tenant may
sustain thereby, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation therefor nor abatement of Fixed Rent or any other item of Rental, nor shall the same release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations hereunder nor constitute an eviction.

 (C) Tenant shall give notice to Landlord promptly after Tenant learns of any accident, emergency, occurrence for which
Landlord might be liable, fire or other casualty and all damages to or defects in the Premises or the Building for the repair of which Landlord might be responsible or which constitutes Landlord’s property. Such notice shall be given by
telecopy or personal delivery to the address(es) of Landlord in effect for notice. 
 Section 12.2. Tenant shall not do or permit to be
done any act or thing in or upon the Premises which will invalidate or be in conflict with the terms of the New York State standard policies of fire insurance and liability insurance (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Building
Insurance”); and Tenant, at Tenant’s own expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of all insurance boards, and shall not knowingly do or permit anything to be done in or upon the Premises or bring or keep
anything therein or use the Premises in a manner which increases the rate of premium for any of the Building Insurance over the rate in effect at the commencement of the Term of this Lease (and if Tenant shall do any of the foregoing, Tenant shall,
upon demand by Landlord, immediately cease doing same). 
 Section 12.3. If, by reason of any failure of Tenant to comply with the
provisions of this Lease, the rate of premium for Building Insurance or other insurance on the property and equipment of Landlord shall increase, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for that part of the insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord
which shall have been charged because of such failure by Tenant. Tenant shall make said reimbursement on the first day of the month following such payment by Landlord. 
 Section 12.4. (A) At Tenant’s own cost and expense, Tenant shall obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect during the Term, commercial general liability insurance (without 

  

 -38- 








 
deductible) (including broad form property damage coverages). The limits of liability shall not be less in a combined single limit amount of Five Million and
00/100 ($5,000,000.00) Dollars per occurrence, which amount may be satisfied with a primary commercial general liability policy of not less than $2,000,000 and an excess (or “Umbrella”) liability policy affording coverage, at least
as broad as that approved by the primary commercial general liability policy, in an amount not less than $3,000,000. Landlord, the Manager, any Lessors, and any Mortgagees shall be included as additional insureds in said policies and shall be
protected against all liability arising in connection with this Lease. All said policies of insurance shall be written as “occurrence” policies. Whenever, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, good business practice and changing
conditions indicate a need for additional amounts or different types of insurance coverage, Tenant shall, within 30 days after Landlord’s request, obtain such insurance coverage, at Tenant’s expense. 
 (B) Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain all risk insurance with deductible in amounts reasonably satisfactory
to Landlord, protecting and indemnifying Tenant against any and all damage to or loss of any Alterations, and leasehold improvements including any made by Landlord to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy and Tenant’s Property. All
said policies shall cover the full replacement value of the Alterations, leasehold improvements and Tenant’s Property. 
 (C) All policies of insurance shall be: (i) written as primary policy coverage and not contributing with or in excess of any coverage which Landlord or any Lessor may carry; and (ii) issued by insurance companies rated in
Best’s Insurance Guide or any successor thereto (or if there is none, an organization having a national reputation) as having a general policy holder rating of “A” and a financial rating of at lease “13”, and which are
licensed to do business in the State of New York. Tenant shall, not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commencement Date, deliver to Landlord either (a) the policies of insurance or (b) certificates thereof with a copy of
the declaration page, and shall thereafter furnish to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policies and any renewal thereof, a new policy or certificate (with a copy of the declaration page) in lieu thereof.
Each of said policies shall also contain a provision whereby the insurer agrees not to cancel, fail to renew, diminish or materially modify said insurance policy(ies) without having given Landlord, the Manager and any Lessors and Mortgagees at least
thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof. Tenant shall promptly send to Landlord a copy of each and every notice sent to Tenant by Tenant’s insurer. 
 (D) Tenant shall pay all premiums and charges for all of said policies, and, if Tenant shall fail to make any payment when due or carry
any such policy, Landlord may, but shall not be 

  

 -39- 








 
obligated to, make such payment or carry such policy, and the amount paid by Landlord, with interest thereon (at the Applicable Rate) ,shall be repaid to
Landlord by Tenant on demand, and all such amounts so repayable, together with such interest, shall be deemed to constitute Additional Rent hereunder. Payment by Landlord of any such premium, or the carrying by Landlord of any such policy, shall not
be deemed to waive or release the default of Tenant with respect thereto. 
 (E) Notwithstanding the limits of insurance
specified in this Section 12.4, Tenant agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, the Manager, any Lessors, Mortgagees and the Indemnitees from and against all damage, loss, liability, cost and expense (including
engineers’, architects’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements) resulting from any of the risks referred to in this Section 12.4. The foregoing obligation of Tenant shall be and remain in full force and effect whether or
not Tenant has placed and maintained the insurance specified in this Section 12.4, and whether or not proceeds from such insurance (such insurance having been placed and maintained) actually are collectible from one or more of the
aforesaid insurance companies; provided, however, that Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation of indemnity herein pro tanto of the amount actually recovered by Landlord from one or more of said insurance companies by reason of injury, damage or
loss sustained on the Premises. 
 Section 12.5. (A) Landlord shall cause each policy carried by Landlord insuring the Building
against loss, damage or destruction by fire or other casualty, and Tenant shall cause each insurance policy carried by Tenant and insuring the Premises and Tenant’s Alterations, leasehold improvements and Tenant’s Property against loss,
damage or destruction by fire or other casualty, to be written in a manner so as to provide that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord, Tenant and any tenant of space in the Building in connection
with any loss or damage covered by any such policy. Neither party shall be liable to the other for the amount of such loss or damage which is in excess of the applicable deductible, if any, caused by fire or any of the risks enumerated in its
policies, provided that such waiver was obtainable at the time of such loss or damage. However, if such waiver cannot be obtained, or shall be obtainable only by the payment of an additional premium charge above that which is charged by companies
carrying such insurance without such waiver of subrogation, then the party undertaking to obtain such waiver shall notify the other party of such fact and such other party shall have a period of ten (10) days after the giving of such notice to
agree in writing to pay such additional premium if such policy is obtainable at additional cost (in the case of Tenant, pro rata in proportion of Tenant’s rentable area to the total rentable area covered by such insurance); and if such other
party does not so agree or the waiver shall not be obtainable, then the provisions of this Section 12.5 shall be null and void as to the 

  

 -40- 








 
risks covered by such policy for so long as either such waiver cannot be obtained or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired shall refuse
to pay the additional premium. If the release of either Landlord or Tenant, as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 12.5, shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question
shall be deemed not released, but no action or rights shall be sought or enforced against such party unless and until all rights and remedies against the other’s insurer are exhausted and the other party shall be unable to collect such
insurance proceeds. 
 (B) The waiver of subrogation referred to in Section 12.5(A) above shall extend to the
agents and employees of each party (including, as to Landlord, the Manager), but only if and to the extent that such waiver can be obtained without additional charge (unless such party shall pay such charge). Nothing contained in this
Section 12.5 shall be deemed to relieve either party from any duty imposed elsewhere in this Lease to repair, restore and rebuild. 
 ARTICLE 13 
 DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE 
 Section 13.1. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to
Landlord. Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 13.2 and 13.3 below, proceed with reasonable diligence, after receipt of the net proceeds of insurance, to repair or cause to be repaired such damage at its expense, to
substantially their condition immediately prior to such damage but in no event greater than the scope of Landlord’s construction of the Premises on the Commencement Date; and, if the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be rendered untenantable
by reason of such damage and such damage shall not be due to the fault of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, then the Fixed Rent and the Escalation Rent hereunder, or an amount thereof apportioned according to the area of the Premises
so rendered untenantable (if less than the entire Premises shall be so rendered untenantable), shall be abated for the period from the date of such damage to the date when the repair of such damage shall have been substantially completed. Tenant
covenants and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and any Lessor or any Mortgagee in their efforts to collect insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) payable to such parties. Landlord shall not be liable for any delay which may arise by
reason of adjustment of insurance on the part of Landlord and/or Tenant, or any cause beyond the control of Landlord or contractors employed by Landlord. 
 Section 13.2. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant 

  

 -41- 








 
resulting in any way from damage from fire or other casualty or the repair thereof. Tenant understands that Landlord, in reliance upon
Section 12.4, will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s Alterations and on leasehold improvements, and that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. 

Section 13.3. (A) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 13.1 and 13.2 above, in the event that:

 (i) the Building shall be damaged by a fire or other casualty so that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the
Building shall, in Landlord’s sole opinion, be required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such fire or other casualty and without regard to the structural integrity of the Building); or 
 (ii) the Premises shall be totally or substantially damaged or shall be rendered wholly or substantially untenantable (and at least
150,000 rentable square feet of the Building other than the Premises shall also have been totally or substantially damaged or shall be rendered wholly or substantially untenantable); or 
 (iii) there shall be any damage to the Premises within the last two (2) years of the Term (or, if Tenant shall have duly exercised
its option to renew the Term of this Lease for the Renewal Term pursuant to Article 37 of this Lease prior to such damage, of the Renewal Term) wherein the cost of repair exceeds an amount equal to six (6) Monthly Installments of Fixed
Rent, 
 then Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted, by notifying Tenant
in writing of such termination within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of such damage. In the event that such a notice of termination shall be given, then this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the date
of termination stated in said notice (which date shall not be sooner than the thirtieth day after such notice is given) with the same effect as if that date were the Fixed Expiration Date, and the Fixed Rent and Escalation Rent hereunder shall be
apportioned as of such date, or, if the Premises shall have been rendered untenantable by such damage and Tenant does not, in fact, use the Premises during such 120 day period, as of the date of such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant
shall duly exercise any option to renew the Term of this Lease within 15 days after Landlord shall have notified Tenant that Landlord is terminating this Lease, then Landlord’s exercise of its right to terminate this Lease by reason of the
provisions of Section 13.3(A) (iii) shall be deemed null and void and this Lease shall continue as if such notice of termination had not been given by Landlord. 
  

 -42- 








 (B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.3,
upon the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an estimate prepared by a reputable contractor selected by Landlord setting forth such contractor’s estimate as to the time reasonably required to repair such damage. If the
period to repair set forth in any such estimate exceeds 12 months, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given not later than thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of such estimate. If the period to repair
set forth in any such estimate shall be for less than 12 months (or if the period to repair set forth in any such estimate exceeds 12 months and Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease), but the repairs shall not have been substantially
completed after the expiration of 12 months from the date of such damage (subject to extension of such period by reason of Unavoidable Delays), Tenant may notify Landlord that Tenant intends to terminate this Lease unless the repairs shall be
substantially completed within 60 days after the date Tenant’s notice is given to Landlord. If such repairs shall not have been substantially completed by such 60th day, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease on notice to Landlord given
within the 10 day period following such 60th day. If Tenant exercises either of such elections, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the 30th day after notice of such election given by Tenant, with the same effect as
if that were the Fixed Expiration Date, and the Fixed Rent and Escalation Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such termination date. 
 Section 13.4. Except as may be provided in Section 12.5, nothing herein contained shall
relieve Tenant from any liability to Landlord or to Landlord’s insurers in connection with any damage to the Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty if Tenant shall be legally liable in such respect. 
 Section 13.5. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Building or any part thereof
by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York providing for such a contingency in the absence of express agreement and any other law of like import now or hereafter in force, shall have no
application in such case. 
 ARTICLE 14 
 EMINENT DOMAIN 
 Section 14.1. If the whole of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises is acquired or condemned
for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Lease and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title with the same effect as if said date were the Fixed Expiration Date. If only a part of the Real Property and not the entire
Premises is so acquired or condemned then, (1) except as hereinafter provided in this 

  

 -43- 








 
Section 14.1, this Lease and the Term shall continue in effect but, if a part of the Premises is included in the part of the Real Property so
acquired or condemned, from and after the date of the vesting of title, the Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Share and Tenant’s Share shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the part of the Premises so acquired or condemned bears to
the total area of the Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation; (2) whether or not the Premises are affected thereby, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may give to Tenant, within sixty (60) days next following the
date upon which Landlord receives notice of vesting of title, a thirty (30) day notice of termination of this Lease, provided that Landlord shall elect to terminate leases affecting at least 50% of the office space in the Building (including
the Premises); and (3) if the part of the Real Property so acquired or condemned contains more than thirty (30%) percent of the total area of the Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation, or if, by reason of such
acquisition or condemnation, Tenant no longer has access to the Premises, Tenant, at Tenant’s option, may give to Landlord, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Tenant receives notice of vesting of title, a thirty
(30) day notice of termination of this Lease. If any such thirty (30) day notice of termination is given, by Landlord or Tenant, this Lease and the Term shall come to an end and expire upon the expiration of said thirty (30) days with
the same effect as if the date of expiration of said thirty (30) days were the Fixed Expiration Date. If a part of the Premises is so acquired or condemned and this Lease and the Term are not terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section 14.1, Landlord, at Landlord’s cost and expense, shall restore that part of the Premises not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained rental unit, exclusive of Tenant’s Alterations and Tenant’s Property. In
the event of any termination of this Lease and the Term pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.1, the Fixed Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of sooner termination and any prepaid portion of the Fixed Rent or Escalation
Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant. 
 Section 14.2. In the event of any such acquisition or
condemnation of all or any part of the Real Property, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award for any such acquisition or condemnation. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any
unexpired portion of the Term and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to any such award. Nothing contained in this Section 14.2 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any
condemnation proceedings for the value of any Tenant’s Property included in such taking, and for any moving expenses, so long as Landlord’s award is not reduced thereby. 
 Section 14.3. If the whole or any part of the Premises is acquired or condemned temporarily during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or
purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice 

  

 -44- 








 
thereof to Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay in full all items of Rental payable by Tenant
hereunder without reduction or abatement, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself any award or payments for such use, provided, however, that: 
 (1) if the acquisition or condemnation is for a period not extending beyond the Term and if such award or payment is made less frequently than in monthly installments, the same shall be paid to and held by Landlord as
a fund which Landlord shall apply from time to time to the Rental payable by Tenant hereunder, except that if, by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, changes or alterations are required to be made to the Premises which would necessitate an
expenditure to restore the Premises, then a portion of such award or payment considered by Landlord as appropriate to cover the expenses of the restoration shall be retained by Landlord, without application as aforesaid, and applied toward the
restoration of the Premises as provided in Section 14.1; or 
 (2) if the acquisition or condemnation is for a
period extending beyond the Term, such award or payment shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the Expiration Date; Tenant’s share thereof, if paid less frequently than in monthly installments, shall be paid to Landlord and
applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (1) above; provided, however, that the amount of any award or payment allowed or retained for restoration of the Premises shall remain the property of Landlord if this Lease expires prior to
the restoration of the Premises. 
 ARTICLE 15 
 ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING, MORTGAGE, ETC. 
 Section 15.1. Except as otherwise provided in this
Article 15, Tenant shall not (a) assign this Lease (whether by operation of law, transfers of interests in Tenant or otherwise); or (b) mortgage or encumber Tenant’s interest in this Lease, in whole or in part; or
(c) sublet, or permit the subletting of, the Premises or any part thereof; or (d) permit the Premises or any part thereof to be occupied or used for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise by any person other than Tenant. Tenant shall
not advertise or authorize a broker to advertise for a subtenant or assignee, without in each instance, obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. 
 Section 15.2. If Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be assigned in violation of the provisions of this Article 15, such assignment shall be invalid and of no force and effect against Landlord;
provided, however, that Landlord may collect an amount equal to the then Fixed Rent plus any other item of Rental from the assignee as a fee for its use and occupancy. If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet to, or occupied by, or used by,


  

 -45- 








 
any person other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Article 15, Landlord, after default by Tenant under this Lease, may collect any item
of Rental or other sums paid by the subtenant, user or occupant as a fee for its use and occupancy, and shall apply the net amount collected to the Fixed Rent and the items of Rental reserved in this Lease. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy,
or use, whether with or without Landlord’s prior consent, nor any such collection or application of Rental or fee for use and occupancy, shall be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease or the acceptance by
Landlord of such assignee, subtenant, occupant or user as Tenant hereunder, nor shall the same, in any circumstances, relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, subletting, occupancy or use
shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to obtain the express prior consent of Landlord to any further assignment, subletting, occupancy or use. Any person to which this Lease is assigned with Landlord’s consent shall be deemed without
more to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease from and after the date of such assignment and shall execute and deliver to Landlord, upon demand, an instrument confirming such assumption. Notwithstanding and subsequent to any
assignment, Tenant’s primary liability hereunder shall continue notwithstanding (a) any subsequent amendment hereof, or (b) Landlord’s forbearance in enforcing against Tenant any obligation or liability, without notice to Tenant,
to each of which Tenant hereby consents in advance. If any such amendment operates to increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, the liability under this Section 15.2 of the assigning Tenant shall continue to be no greater than
if such amendment had not been made (unless such party shall have expressly consented in writing to such amendment). 
 Section 15.3.
(A) For purposes of this Article 15, (i) the transfer of a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, or of a corporate subtenant, or the transfer of a majority of the total interest in any general
or limited liability company, partnership tenant or subtenant, or the transfer of control in any limited partnership tenant or subtenant, or the transfer of a majority of the issued and outstanding membership interest in a limited liability company
tenant or subtenant, however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease, or of such sublease, as the case may be, except that the transfer of the
outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, or subtenant, shall be deemed not to include the sale of such stock by persons or parties, other than those deemed “affiliates” of Tenant within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, through the “over-the-counter market” or through any recognized stock exchange, (ii) any increase in the amount of issued and/or outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, or of a
corporate subtenant, or of the issued 

  

 -46- 








 
and outstanding membership interests in a limited liability company tenant or subtenant and/or the creation of one or more additional classes of capital
stock of any corporate tenant or any corporate subtenant, in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, resulting in a change in the legal or beneficial ownership of such tenant or subtenant so that the shareholders or
members of such tenant or subtenant existing immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions shall no longer own a majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock or membership interest of such tenant or subtenant, shall be
deemed an assignment of this Lease, except that the issuance or increase in the amount of issued and/or outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant, or of a corporate subtenant, as part of a public offering or “stock-split” of such
capital stock of such tenant or subtenant shall not be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease, (iii) an agreement by any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, to assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall be deemed an
assignment, (iv) any person or legal representative of Tenant, to whom Tenant’s interest under this Lease passes by operation of law, or otherwise, shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 15, (v) a modification,
amendment or extension of a sublease shall be deemed a sublease; and (vi) the change or conversion of Tenant to a limited liability company, a limited liability partnership or any other entity which possesses the characteristics of a limited
liability shall be deemed an assignment. Tenant agrees to furnish to Landlord on request at any time such information and assurances as Landlord may reasonably request that neither Tenant, nor any previously permitted subtenant, has violated the
provisions of this Article 15. 
 (B) The provisions of clauses (a), (c) and (d) of Section 15.1
and Section 15.4(B)(3)(iii) shall not apply to transactions with a corporation or a limited liability company into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or with a Person to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are
transferred (provided such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created by this Lease, and provided further, that the assignee has a net
worth at least equal to or in excess of the net worth of Tenant as of the date of this Lease and as of the date immediately prior to such merger or transfer, whichever is greater) or, if Tenant is a partnership, with a successor partnership, nor
shall the provisions of clauses (a), (c) and (d) of Section 15.1 apply to transactions with an entity that controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant. Tenant shall notify Landlord before any such
transaction is consummated. 
 (C) The term “control” as used in this Lease (i) in the case of a corporation
shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the outstanding capital stock of that corporation or the possession, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, of the power to direct or cause the 

  

 -47- 








 
direction of the management and policies of that corporation, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, (ii) in the
case of a general or limited liability partnership, shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the general partnership interest of the partnership or the possession, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of that general or limited liability partnership, whether through the ownership of a partnership interest, by contract or otherwise, (iii) in the case of a limited
partnership, shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the general partnership interests of such limited partnership or the possession, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, of the power to direct or cause
the direction of the management and policies of that limited partnership, whether through the ownership of a general partnership interest, by contract or otherwise, and (iv) in the case of a limited liability company, shall mean ownership of
more than fifty (50%) percent of the membership interests of such limited liability company or the possession, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and
policies of that limited liability company, whether through the ownership of a membership interest, by contract or otherwise. 
 Section 15.4. (A) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to a proposed subletting of the Premises, or an assignment of this Lease, provided that in each such instance, the following requirements shall have
been satisfied (if Tenant proposes a partial sublet, references in this Section 15.4 to the Premises shall, unless the context otherwise requires, refer to such portion): 
 (1) in the case of a proposed subletting, the listing for subletting of the Premises shall not have included a proposed rental rate that
is less than the prevailing rate (the “Prevailing Rate”) set by Landlord for comparable space in the Building for a comparable term (or if comparable space for a comparable term is not available in the Building, the fair market
rental rate for comparable space for a comparable term, as reasonably determined by Landlord); 
 (2) without the prior
consent of Landlord, neither the name nor the address of the Building shall be used in any advertising for subletting of the Premises (or portion thereof) or an assignment of this Lease; 
 (3) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
 (4) the proposed subtenant or assignee shall have a financial standing, be of a character and be engaged in a business, and propose to use
the Premises in a manner in keeping with the standards in such respects of the other tenancies in the 

  

 -48- 








 
Building and will not cause excessive demands on the Building systems; 
 (5) if Landlord has or within six (6) months thereafter reasonably expects to have comparable space available in the Building, the
proposed subtenant or assignee shall not be (x) a Person with whom Landlord is then negotiating or discussing the leasing of space in the Building (other than an existing subtenant of Tenant in the Premises); or (y) a tenant in or occupant
of the Building or any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by, controls or is under common control with any such tenant or occupant (other than an existing subtenant of Tenant in the Premises); 
 (6) any subletting shall be expressly subject to all of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations on Tenant’s part to be
observed and performed under this Lease and any assignment or subletting shall be subject to the further condition and restriction that this Lease or the sublease shall not be further assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred or the subleased
premises further sublet by the subtenant in whole or in part, or any part thereof suffered or permitted by the assignee or subtenant to be used or occupied by others (except in accordance with the terms of this Lease), without the prior written
consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed in accordance with this Section 15.4; 
 (7) no subletting shall be for less than one-half of the Premises and shall be regular in shape and at no time shall there be more than two (2) occupants, including Tenant, on the floor of the Building in which
the Premises is situated, all of whom shall have direct access through existing public corridors to elevators, fire stairs and core rest rooms; 
 (8) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs that may be incurred by Landlord in connection with said assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the reasonable costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant; 
 (9) any sublease shall expressly provide that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest
of Tenant as sublessor under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (i) liable for any previous act or
omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) subject to any offset that theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one
month’s rent unless previously approved by Landlord, (iv) bound by any 

  

 -49- 








 
convenant made by Tenant to such subtenant to undertake or complete or make payment to or on behalf of a subtenant with respect to any construction of the
Premises or any portion thereof demised by such sublease and (v) bound by any obligations to make any other payment to or on behalf of the subtenant, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease to
be performed after the date of such termination, re-entry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease and which Landlord is required to perform hereunder with respect to the subleased space at Landlord’s expense; 
 (10) Tenant shall have complied with the requirements of paragraph (D) of this Section 15.4; and 
 (11) The nature of the occupancy, the use and the manner of use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee shall not impose on
Landlord any requirements of the ADA in excess of those requirements imposed on Landlord in the absence of such proposed subtenant or assignee or such occupancy, use or manner of use, unless such proposed subtenant or assignee shall have agreed to
comply with each of such excess requirements and, at Landlord’s option, shall have furnished Landlord with such security as Landlord may reasonably require to assure that such subtenant or assignee shall so comply. 
 (B) (1) Should Tenant agree to assign this Lease, other than by an assignment contemplated by Section 15.3, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord as soon as that agreement is consummated, but no less than 45 days prior to the effective date of the contemplated assignment, an executed counterpart of such agreement, and all ancillary agreements with the proposed
assignee, and Landlord shall then, have the right to elect, by notifying Tenant within 30 days of such delivery, (i) to terminate this Lease as of such effective date as if such date were the Fixed Expiration Date set forth in this Lease, or
(ii) to accept the assignment of this Lease from Tenant, and Tenant shall then promptly execute and deliver to Landlord, or Landlord’s designee if so elected by Landlord, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord’s counsel, an
assignment that shall be effective as of such effective date. 
 (2) In the event that this Lease shall be assigned to
Landlord or Landlord’s designee or if the Premises shall be sublet to Landlord or Landlord’s designee pursuant to Section 15.4 (B)(3), the provisions of any such assignment or sublease and the obligations of Landlord and the
rights of Tenant with respect thereto shall not be binding upon or otherwise affect the rights of any holder of a Mortgage or of a Superior Lease unless such holder shall elect by written notice to Tenant to succeed to the position of Landlord or
its designee, as the case may be, thereunder. 
 (3) Should Tenant agree to sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, other
than by a sublease contemplated by 

  

 -50- 








 
Section 15.3, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, as soon as that agreement is consummated, but no less than 45 days prior to the effective date of

existing condition, broom clean; and 
 (f) provide that the Recapture Subtenant or occupant shall use and occupy the
Recapture Space for any lawful purpose approved by Landlord.

under Section 223-a of the Real Property Law of New York, or any successor statute of similar import, to rescind this Lease and further waives the right to recover any damages from Landlord or Recapture Subtenant that may result from the

 -54- 








 
prior notice, which notice may be oral, to examine the same, to prior to show the same to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees or lessees of the Building or
space therein, and to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions (i) as Landlord may deem necessary to the Premises (or as Landlord is otherwise entitled to make under this Lease to the Premises), or to make such repairs,
alterations, improvements or additions as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable to any other portion of the Building, or (ii) which Landlord may elect to perform at least ten (10) days after notice (except in an emergency when no notice
shall be required) following Tenant’s failure to make repairs or perform any work which Tenant is obligated to make or perform under this Lease, or (iii) for the purpose of complying with Requirements, and Landlord shall be allowed to take
all material into and upon the Premises that may be required therefor without the same constituting an eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and the Fixed Rent (and any other item of Rental) shall in no respect abate or be
reduced by reason of said repairs, alterations, improvements or additions, wherever located, or while the same are being made, by reason of loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise (except as otherwise expressly set forth in this

 -55- 








 
any such change does not unreasonably interfere with, or deprive Tenant of access to, the Building or the Premises, and provided, further, that if Landlord
changes the location of the doorway to the premises, Landlord shall first notify Tenant thereof (which notice may be oral); to put so-called “solar film” or other energy-saving installations on the inside and outside of the windows; and to

Default hereunder until the fifth day after Landlord shall have given Tenant written notice of such default; or 
 (B) if
Tenant shall fail more than two (2) times in any Lease Year to make a payment when due of any Rental, and Landlord shall have given Tenant notice after the second such occurrence advising Tenant of such occurrences; or

nature that it cannot with due diligence be completely remedied within said period of 20 days and the continuation of which for the period required for cure will not subject Landlord to the risk of criminal liability or termination of any Superior
Lease or foreclosure of any Mortgage, if Tenant shall not, (i) within said 20 day period advise Landlord of Tenant’s intention duly to institute all steps necessary to remedy such situation, (ii) duly institute within said 20-day
period, and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy the same and (iii) complete such remedy within such time after the date of the giving of said notice by Landlord as shall reasonably be

written notice to Tenant stating that this Lease and the Term shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice, which date shall not be less than three (3) days after the giving of such notice, whereupon this Lease and the Term
and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall automatically expire and terminate as if the date specified in the notice given pursuant to this Section 18.2 were the Fixed Expiration Date and Tenant immediately shall quit and surrender
the Premises, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided herein or pursuant to law. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such termination shall be stayed by order of any court having jurisdiction over any
proceeding described in Section 18.1(G), (I) or (J), or by federal or state statute, then, following the expiration of any such stay, or if the trustee appointed in any such proceeding, Tenant or Tenant as debtor-in-possession fails

ARTICLE 19 
 REMEDIES AND DAMAGES

 Section 19.1. (A) If any Event of Default shall occur, or this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end as
provided in Article 18: 
 (1) Tenant shall quit and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord and
its agents may immediately, or at any time after such Event of Default or after the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end, re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or
by any other applicable action or proceeding, or by force or otherwise (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), and may repossess the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons from the Premises by summary
proceedings or otherwise and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises (and Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided herein or pursuant to law); and 
 (2) Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet the whole or any part or parts of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of
Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Fixed Expiration Date, at such rent or rentals and upon such other conditions, which may include concessions and free rent periods, as Landlord,
in Landlord’s sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Premises 

  

 -59- 








 
or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting, and no such refusal or
failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affect any such liability, and Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such Alterations, in and to the Premises as Landlord, in Landlord’s sole
discretion, shall consider advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability. 
 (B) Tenant hereby waives the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end that may
otherwise be required to be given under any present or future law. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does further hereby waive any and all rights that Tenant and all
such persons might otherwise have under any present or future law to redeem the Premises, or to re-enter or repossess the Premises, or to restore the operation of this Lease, after (a) Tenant shall have been dispossessed by a judgment or by
warrant of any court or judge, or (b) any re-entry by Landlord, or (c) any expiration or termination of this Lease and the Term, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination is by operation of law or pursuant to the
provisions of this Lease. The words “re-entry”, “re-enter” and “re-entered” as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by
Tenant, or any persons claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and the right to invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry,
summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for such breach. The right to invoke the remedies hereinbefore set forth are cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or
in equity. 
 Section 19.2. (A) If this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 18, or by
or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in Section 19.1, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, then, in any of said
events: 
 (1) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Fixed Rent, Escalation Rent, other Additional Rent and other items of Rental
payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord to the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall have expired and come to an end or to the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be; 
 (2) Tenant also shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as damages, any deficiency (“Deficiency”) between 

  

 -60- 








 
the Rental for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term and the net amount, if any, of rents collected under any
reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.1 (A) (2) for any part of such period (after first deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with the
termination of this Lease, Landlord’s re-entry upon the Premises and such reletting including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, alteration costs and other expenses of
preparing the premises for such reletting); any such Deficiency shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent; Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each
monthly Deficiency as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month shall prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding; and 
 (3) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency as aforesaid, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant,
and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency as and for liquidated and agreed final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the unpaid Rental for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired
portion of the Term exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, both discounted to present worth at four (4%) percent per annum less than the Base Rate; if, before presentation of proof of such
liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the Premises, or any part thereof, are relet by Landlord for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, the amount of rent
reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed, prima facie, to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting. 
 (B) If the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be relet together with other space in the Building, the rents collected or reserved under
any such reletting and the expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section 19.2. Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not
such rents exceed the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease. Solely for the purposes of this Article 19, the term “Escalation Rent” as used in Section 19.2(A) shall mean the Escalation Rent in effect immediately prior to the
Expiration Date, or the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, adjusted to reflect any increase pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 hereof for the Operating Year immediately preceding such event. Nothing
contained in Article 18 or this Article 19 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any statute or rule of law, or of any sums or 

  

 -61- 








 
damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the set forth in this Section 19.2. 
 ARTICLE 20 
 FEES AND EXPENSES

 Section 20.1. If (i) an Event of Default shall occur under this Lease, or (ii) Tenant does or permits any act or thing
upon the Premises that would cause Landlord to be in default under any superior Lease or Mortgage and Tenant does not cure such act or thing within 15 days (or such shorter period as Landlord may be permitted pursuant to any Superior Lease or
Mortgage) after notice thereof, or (iii) Tenant fails to comply with its obligations under this Lease and the preservation of property or the safety of any tenant, occupant or other person is threatened, Landlord may (1) perform the same
for the account of Tenant, or (2) make any expenditure or incur any obligation for the payment of money in connection with any obligation owed to Landlord, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in
instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, and in either case the cost thereof, with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten
(10) days after rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefor. In addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord any reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with any proceeding in which the value for
the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant is being determined (whether or not any such proceeding results from a default by Tenant under this Lease). 
 Section 20.2. If Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other item of Rental for a period longer than five (5) Business Days after the same shall have become due,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to such installment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other item of Rental, as the case may be, as a late charge and as Additional Rent, a sum equal to interest at the Applicable Rate on the amount unpaid,
computed from the date such payment was due, without regard to any such grace period, to and including the date of payment.

 NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD 
 Section 21.1. Landlord and Landlord’s agents have made no representations or promises with respect to the Building, the Real Property or the 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 

  

 -62- 








 
herein, Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises in its “as-is” condition on the Commencement Date, and Landlord shall have no other
obligation to perform any work or make any installations in order to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, except that prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall replace the water damaged ceiling tiles located in the women’s
lavatory in the Premises. The taking of occupancy of the whole or any part of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Tenant accepts possession of the same and that the Premises and the Building were in good and
satisfactory condition at the time such occupancy was so taken and that the Premises were substantially as shown on Schedule A. All references in this Lease to the consent or approval of Landlord shall be deemed to mean the written consent or
approval executed by Landlord and no other consent or approval of Landlord shall be effective for any purpose whatsoever. Nothing contained in this Section 21.1 shall relieve Landlord of its obligation to pay Tenant Landlord’s
Contribution in accordance with Section 6.4 this Lease. 
 ARTICLE 22 
 END OF TERM 
 Section 22.1. Upon the expiration or other termination of
this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, vacant, broom clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible pursuant to the provisions of Article 13 excepted,
and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Alterations as may be required pursuant to Article 6. Tenant shall also remove all of Tenant’s Property and all other personal property and personal effects of all persons claiming through or
under Tenant, and shall pay the cost of repairing all damage to the Premises and the Real Property occasioned by such removal. Any Tenant’s Property or other personal property that remains in the Premises after the termination of this Lease
shall be deemed to have been abandoned and either may be retained by Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If such Tenant’s Property or other personal property or any part thereof is sold,
Landlord may receive and retain the proceeds of such sale as the property of Landlord. Any expense incurred by Landlord in removing or disposing of such Tenant’s Property or other personal property or Alterations required to be removed as
provided in Article 6, as well as the cost of repairing all damage to the Building or the Premises caused by such removal, shall be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant, as Additional Rent, on demand. 
 Section 22.2. If the Expiration Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then Tenant’s obligations under Section 22.1 shall
be performed on or prior to the immediately preceding Business Day.

Tenant, any rights that Tenant or any such person may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and of any similar or successor law of like import then in force in connection with any holdover
proceedings that Landlord may institute to enforce the provisions of this Article. 
 Section 22.4. If the Premises are not surrendered
upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord against liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant or prospective tenant
founded upon such delay and agrees to be liable to Landlord for (i) any payment or rent concession which Landlord may be required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises in order to induce such tenant not
to terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant and (ii) the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any such tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant. 
 Section 22.5. Tenant’s obligation under this Article shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. 
 ARTICLE 23

 ARTICLE 24 
 NO WAIVER 
 Section 24.1. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the
Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of this
Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. If Tenant shall at any time desire to have Landlord sublet the Premises for
Tenant’s account, Landlord or Landlord’s agents are authorized to receive the keys for such purpose without releasing Tenant from any of the obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby relieves Landlord of any liability for loss of or
damage to any of Tenant’s effects in connection with such subletting. 
 Section 24.2. The failure of Landlord to seek redress for
violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have 

  

 -64- 








 
originally constituted a violation, from having all of the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent
or any other item of Rental with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The failure of Landlord to enforce any of the Rules and Regulations against Tenant or any other tenant in the
Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Rules and Regulations. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver shall be in writing and shall be signed by Landlord. No payment by Tenant or
receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rental then due and payable shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest item(s) of Rental, or as Landlord may elect to apply the same, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any
check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance due of the Rental or pursue any other remedy
in this Lease provided. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and all prior negotiations and agreements are merged herein. Any executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, discharge or effect an
abandonment of this Lease in whole or in part unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge or abandonment is sought. 
 ARTICLE 25 
 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY 
 Section 25.1. Landlord and Tenant shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them
against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, whether during or after the Term, or for the enforcement of
any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise. If Landlord shall commence any summary proceeding against Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding (unless failure to impose
such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any
other court by Tenant or Landlord. 
 ARTICLE 26 
 INABILITY TO PERFORM 
 Section 26.1. This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rental
hereunder and to perform all of the other covenants 

  

 -65- 








 
and agreements hereunder on the part of Tenant to be performed shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of
Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, expressly or implicitly to be performed by Landlord, or because Landlord is unable to make or is delayed in making any repairs, additions, alterations, improvements or decorations, or is unable to supply
or is delayed in supplying any services, equipment or fixtures, if Landlord is prevented from or delayed in so doing by reason of acts of God, casualty, strikes or labor troubles, accident, governmental preemption in connection with an emergency,
Requirements, conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war or other emergency, or any other cause whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (“Unavoidable
Delays”).

 ARTICLE 28 
 SERVICES AND EQUIPMENT

 Section 28.1. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense: 
 (A) Provide passenger elevator service to the Premises on Business Days during Operating Hours and, subject to Section 28.3,
have one elevator on call at all other times. Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at its election, install elevators with or without operators and may change the same from time to time. 
 (B) Provide one (1) freight elevator serving the Premises on call on a “first come, first served” basis on Business Days
during Operating Hours, and on a reservation, “first come, first served” basis from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. on Business Days and at any time on days other than Business Days. 
 (C) Maintain and repair the HVAC System installed by Landlord, except for those repairs which are the obligation of Tenant pursuant to
Article 7 of this Lease. The HVAC System will be operated by Landlord as and when required by law, or for the comfortable occupancy of the Premises (as reasonably determined by Landlord) during the applicable seasons on Business Days during
Operating Hours, and, upon the request of Tenant, at other hours at Landlord’s customary charge therefor; provided that Tenant shall draw and close the draperies or blinds for the windows of the Premises whenever the HVAC System is in operation
and the position of the sun shall cause the Premises to be uncomfortably warm and shall, at all times, cooperate fully with Landlord and abide by all of the Rules and Regulations which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning of the HVAC


  

 -67- 








 
System. The on-floor portion of the HVAC System will be controlled by landlord, except for the thermostatic controls within the Premises. Tenant agrees to
maintain the thermostatic controls within the Premises set within the range of settings mandated by any Requirements for temperature or energy related matters. Tenant expressly acknowledges that some or all windows are or may be hermetically sealed
and will not open and Landlord makes no representation as to the habitability of the Premises at any time the HVAC System is not in operation. Tenant hereby expressly waives any claims against Landlord arising out of the cessation of operation of
the HVAC System, or the suitability of the Premises when the same is not in operation, whether due to normal scheduling or the reasons set forth in Section 28.3, but nothing contained in this sentence shall relieve Landlord from any
liability to Tenant resulting from the wilful misconduct or negligence of Landlord or its employees, contractors or agents. Landlord will not be responsible for the failure of the HVAC System if such failure results from the occupancy of the
Premises by more than an average of one person for each one hundred (100) square feet in any separate room or area or if Tenant shall install and operate machines, incandescent lighting and appliances the total connected electrical load in
excess of the Building’s electrical specifications, as determined by Landlord’s consulting engineers. If Tenant shall occupy the Premises at an occupancy rate of greater than that for which the HVAC System was designed, or if the total
connected electrical load is in excess of the Building’s electrical specifications, as determined by Landlord’s consulting engineers, or if Tenant’s partitions shall be arranged in such a way as to interfere with the normal operation
of the HVAC System, Landlord may elect to make changes to the HVAC System or the ducts through which it operates required by reason thereof, and the reasonable cost thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within 20
days after presentation of a bill therefor. Landlord, throughout the Term, shall have free access to all mechanical installations of Landlord, including but not limited to air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets, and
Tenant shall not construct partitions or other obstructions that may interfere with Landlord’s free access thereto, or interfere with the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the enclosures containing said installations. Neither
Tenant nor Persons Within Tenant’s Control shall at any time enter the said enclosures or tamper with, adjust, touch or otherwise in any manner affect said mechanical installations, except as set forth herein with respect to the thermostatic
controls within the Premises. Without in any way limiting anything set forth in this subparagraph (C), within a reasonable time after Tenant’s request, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the Building’s electrical specifications,
as determined by Landlord’s consulting engineers. 
 (D) Furnish hot and cold water for lavatory and drinking and office
cleaning purposes. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any other purposes, Tenant agrees that 

  

 -68- 








 
Tenant shall install a meter or meters or other means to measure Tenant’s water consumption, and Tenant further agrees to pay for the cost of the meter
or meters and the installation thereof, and to pay for the maintenance of said meter equipment and/or to pay Landlord’s out-of-pocket cost of other means of measuring such water consumption by Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the
cost of all water consumed (including costs of generating hot water) as measured by said meter or meters or as otherwise measured, including sewer rents, as Additional Rent within 20 days after bills are rendered. 
 (E) Provided Tenant shall keep the Premises in order, Landlord, at Landlord’s expense, shall cause the Premises, excluding any
portions thereof used as security areas or used for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages, to be cleaned on Business Days in accordance with the cleaning specifications annexed to this Lease as Schedule C.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent on demand Landlord’s extra charges, actually paid by Landlord to Landlord’s cleaning contractor for the Building, for cleaning work in the Premises or the Building required because of
(i) misuse or neglect on the part of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees, (ii) use of portions of the Premises for the storage, preparation, service, or consumption of food or beverages, reproduction, data
processing or computer operations, private lavatories or toilets or other special purposes, (iii) any glass surfaces other than exterior Building windows and other glass surfaces required to be cleaned pursuant to Schedule C,
(iv) non-Building standard materials or finishes installed by Tenant or at its request, (v) increase in frequency or scope of any of the items set forth in Schedule C requested by Tenant, and (vi) the use of the Premises by
Tenant after hours. If, however, any additional cleaning of the Premises is to be done by Tenant, it shall be done at Tenant’s sole expense, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and no one other than persons approved by Landlord
shall be permitted to enter the Premises or the Building for such purpose. Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish from the Premises and the Building (x) to the extent that
the same, in any one day, exceeds the average daily amount of refuse and rubbish usually attendant upon the use of such Premises as offices, as described and included in Landlord’s cleaning contract for the Building or recommended by
Landlord’s cleaning contractor, and (y) to the extent Landlord shall incur extra charges to Landlord’s cleaning contractor for the Building related to or deriving from the preparation or consumption of food or drink. Bills for the
same shall be rendered by Landlord to Tenant at such time as Landlord may elect and shall be due and payable as Additional Rent within 20 days after the time rendered. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall cause the Premises to be exterminated on
a monthly basis to the satisfaction of Landlord and additionally shall cause all portions of the Premises used for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages to be cleaned daily 

  

 -69- 








 
in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and to be treated against infestation by vermin, rodents or roaches, whenever there is evidence of any
infestation. Tenant shall not permit any person to enter the Premises or the Building for the purpose of providing such extermination services, unless such persons have been approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
If so requested by Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall store any refuse generated by the consumption of food or beverages on the Premises in a cold box or similar facility. 
 (F) If the “sprinkler system” installed in the Building or any of its appurtenances are damaged or injured or not in proper
working order by reason of any act or omission of Tenant or of Persons Within Tenant’s Control, Tenant shall forthwith restore the same to good working condition at Tenant’s expense; and if the New York Board of Fire Underwriters or the
New York Insurance Rating Organization or any Government Authority requires or recommends that any changes, modifications, alterations or additional sprinkler heads or other equipment be made or supplied by reason of Tenant’s business, or the
location of the partitions, trade fixtures, or other contents of the Premises, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, promptly make and supply such changes, modifications, alterations, additional sprinkler heads or other equipment (pursuant to
submission of necessary engineering plans and specifications for Landlord’s approval). 
 Section 28.2. The Fixed Rent does not
reflect or include any charge to Tenant for the furnishing of any necessary freight elevator facilities or HVAC to the Premises during periods (“Overtime Periods”) other than on Business Days during Operating Hours. Accordingly, if
Landlord furnishes any such freight elevator facilities or HVAC to the Premises at the request of Tenant during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall pay Landlord Additional Rent for such services at the standard rates then fixed by Landlord for the
Building or if no such rates are then fixed, at comparable rates then being charged by first-class office buildings in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no charge to Tenant for up
to four hours (in the aggregate) of use of freight elevator facilities during Overtime Periods in connection with Tenant’s initial move into the Premises for the conduct of its business therein. Landlord shall not be required to furnish any
such services during any Overtime Periods unless Landlord has received advance notice from Tenant requesting such services, which notice must be given prior to 2:30 p.m. on the Business Day upon which such services are needed by Tenant or if such
services are needed on a day other than a Business Day, such notice must be given prior to 2:30 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the day upon which such services are needed. If Tenant shall fail to give Landlord such advance notice,
then Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant, for any annoyance or inconvenience, or any injury from 

  

 -70- 








 
interruption of Tenant’s business or otherwise, for so failing to furnish any such services during such Overtime Periods. Any such failure, whether or
not notice shall have been given, and whether or not in Overtime Periods, shall not, in any event, constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Rental, or relieve Tenant from
any of its obligations under this Lease, except as provided in Section 28.3 (B). 
 Section 28.3. (A) Landlord reserves
the right to stop the furnishing of the Building services and to stop service of the Building Systems, when (and only for so long as it shall be) :necessary, by reason of accident, or emergency, or for Alterations in the judgment of Landlord desirable or necessary to be made, until said Alterations shall have been completed; and Landlord shall
have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply air-conditioning, ventilation, heat, elevator, plumbing, electric, or other services during said period or when prevented from so doing by strikes, lockouts, difficulty of obtaining
materials, accidents or by any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, or by Requirements or failure of electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power supply, or inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain
electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power. No diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant as a result therefrom, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be
affected or reduced by reason of such interruption, curtailment or suspension, nor shall the same constitute an actual or constructive eviction. Nothing contained in this Section 28.3 shall relieve Landlord from liability to Tenant
resulting from the wilful misconduct or negligence of Landlord or its employees, contractors or agents. 
 (B) If, by reason
of Landlord’s failure to make repairs or replacements required to be made by Landlord pursuant to this Lease (a “Landlord Failure”), a material portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, and Tenant ceases to use such
portion of the Premises for the conduct of its business and such Landlord Failure continues unremedied for more than twenty (20) consecutive Business Days after Tenant gives written notice to Landlord of the Landlord Failure and the fact that a
material portion of the Premises has been rendered untenantable by reason of such Landlord Failure and that Tenant shall have ceased using such portion of the Premises for the conduct of its business, then the Fixed Rent and the Escalation Rent
shall be abated during the time that such portion remains untenantable and unused by reason of such Landlord Failure after such twentieth (20th) Business Day, apportioned according to the rentable area of the Premises so rendered untenantable
and unused. Nothing contained in this Section 28.3(B) is intended to, or shall be deemed to, make any event described in or contemplated by Articles 13, 14, 26 or 34 or Sections 7.3 or 28.3(A) or any event resulting from


  

 -71- 








 
an act or omission of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control a Landlord Failure. 
 Section 28.4. Tenant agrees to abide by all requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper protection and functioning of its Building
Systems and the furnishing of the Building services. Tenant further agrees to cooperate with Landlord in any conservation effort pursuant to a program or procedure promulgated or recommended by ASHRAE or any Requirements. 
 Section 28.5. Landlord shall have no obligation to clean, repair, replace or maintain any “private” plumbing fixtures or facilities
(i.e., plumbing fixtures and facilities other than those that would be the common toilets on a floor) or the rooms in which they are located. 
 Section 28.6. Subject to all of the provisions of this Lease governing Alterations, including (but not limited to) the submission of plans and specifications and the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to same
as required under Article 6, Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right to install a supplemental air-conditioning system in the Premises for up to ten tons of air-conditioning. Landlord shall make available to Tenant
for its use on a twenty-four (24) hour a day, three hundred sixty-five (365) day a year basis throughout the Term, condenser water for up to ten tons of air-conditioning for Tenant’s supplemental air-conditioning system. Tenant shall
bear the cost of the condenser water supplied to Tenant’s supplemental air-conditioning system and shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the condenser water supplied to Tenant’s supplemental air-conditioning system at the standard
rates then fixed by Landlord for making condenser water available for such cooling. Tenant shall pay the actual out-of-pocket cost incurred by Landlord for connecting Tenant’s supplemental air-conditioning system to the condenser water line in
the Building. On the date of this Lease, Landlord’s Building standard charge for condenser water is $1,250 per ton per annum. Such amount may be increased from time to time after the date hereof, provided that Landlord shall not discriminate
against Tenant in increasing same and further provided that any such increase shall be based upon an actual increase in Landlord’s costs relating thereto.

 Section 29.1. If Tenant is a partnership, or is comprised of two
(2) or more persons, individually or as co-partners of a partnership (any such partnership and such persons are referred to in this Article 29 as “Partnership Tenant”), or if Tenant’s interest in this Lease
shall be assigned to a Partnership Tenant, the following provisions shall apply to such Partnership Tenant: 
 (a) the liability of each of
the parties comprising Partnership Tenant shall be joint and several; (b) each of the parties comprising Partnership Tenant hereby consents in advance to, and agrees to be bound by (i) any written agreement that may here- after be executed

admits new partners, all of such new partners shall, by their admission to Partnership Tenant, be deemed to have assumed joint and several liability for the performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s
part to be observed and performed; (e) Partnership Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of the admission of any such new partners, and upon demand of Landlord, shall cause each such new partner to execute and deliver to Landlord an
agreement in form satisfactory to Landlord, wherein each such new partner assumes joint and several liability for the performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed (but
neither Landlord’s failure to request any such agreement nor the failure of any such new partner to execute or deliver any such agreement to Landlord shall vitiate the provisions of clause (d) of this Article 29); and (f) any
present or future partner of Partnership Tenant who is no longer a partner of Partnership Tenant at the time of any default under this Lease shall, nevertheless, remain liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, as if any such partner
had been a partner of Partnership Tenant on the date of such default. 
 ARTICLE 30 
 VAULT SPACE 
 Section 30.1. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Lease or indicated on any sketch, blueprint or plan, any vaults, vault space or other space outside the boundaries of the Real Property are not included in the Premises. Landlord makes no representation as to the location of the boundaries of the
Real Property. All vaults and vault space and all other space outside the boundaries of the Real Property which Tenant may be permitted to use or occupy are to be used or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license is revoked, or if
the amount of such space is diminished or required by any Government Authority or by any public utility company, such revocation, diminution or requisition shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle
Tenant to any abatement or diminution of Rental, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord. Any fee, tax or charge imposed by any Government 

  

 -73- 








 
Authority for any such vaults, vault space or other space occupied by Tenant shall be paid by Tenant.

install any such signs, and Tenant shall pay all costs associated with such installation, as Additional Rent, within 20 days after demand therefor. Landlord shall provide Tenant with Tenant’s Share of the available listings in the directory
located in the Building lobby (but in no event less than 10 such listings) at no cost to Tenant (for the name of Tenant and any other Person occupying the Premises or any portion thereof pursuant to this Lease, and their respective officers and

 ARTICLE 32

 ARTICLE 33

 INDEMNITY 
 Section 33.1. Tenant shall not do or permit any act or thing to be done upon the Premises or the Real Property that may subject any Indemnitee to any liability or responsibility for injury, damage to persons or property or to any
liability by reason of the existence or application of, compliance with or violation of any Requirement, but shall exercise such control over the Premises as to protect each Indemnitee fully against any such liability and responsibility. Tenant

“Letter of Credit”) issued and drawn upon any commercial bank approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) which is a member of the United States Federal Reserve System with offices for banking purposes
in the City of New York (“Issuing Bank”), which letter of credit shall have a term of not less than one year, be in form and content satisfactory to Landlord, be for the account of Landlord (and no other beneficiary) and be in the
amount of the Security Deposit set forth in the Reference Page. The Letter of Credit shall provide that: 
 (1) The Issuing
Bank shall pay to Landlord or its duly authorized representative an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit upon presentation of a copy of the Letter of Credit and a sight draft in the amount to be drawn; 
 (2) The Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each during
the Term, unless the Issuing Bank sends written notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Landlord by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit,
to the effect that it elects not to have such Letter of Credit renewed; 
 (3) The expiration date of the Letter of Credit
delivered in respect of the last year of the Term shall have an expiration date of not earlier than sixty (60) days after the Fixed Expiration Date; and 
 (4) The Letter of Credit shall be transferable by Landlord as provided in Section 35.5. 
 Section 35.3. Simultaneously with the delivery of the first Letter of Credit to Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a 

  

 -77- 








 
letter from the Issuing Bank confirming that the Issuing Bank will honor any demand for payment made by Landlord in accordance with this Article 35.
In the event that any replacement Letter of credit is drawn on a bank other than the original Issuing Bank, Tenant shall deliver a similar letter of confirmation from such new Issuing Bank, together with or prior to the delivery of the replacement
Letter of Credit. 
 Section 35.4. Landlord, after receipt of the Non-Renewal Notice, shall have the right to draw the entire amount of
the Letter of Credit and to hold the proceeds as a cash Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Article 35. Landlord shall release such proceeds to Tenant upon delivery to Landlord of a replacement Letter of Credit complying with the
terms hereof. 
 Section 35.5. In the event of the sale or lease of the Building or the Real Property, Landlord shall have the right to
transfer the cash Security Deposit or Letter of Credit, as the case may be, to the purchaser or lessee, and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such cash Security Deposit or Letter of Credit. In such
event, Tenant agrees to look solely to the new Landlord for the return of said cash Security Deposit or Letter of Credit. It is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the cash Security Deposit or Letter
of Credit to a new Landlord. Tenant shall execute such documents as may be necessary to accomplish such transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit. 
 Section 35.6. Tenant covenants that it will not assign or encumber, or attempt to assign or encumber, the cash Security Deposit or Letter of Credit deposited hereunder, and that neither Landlord nor its
successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment, or attempted encumbrance. In the event that any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other debtor-creditor proceedings shall be instituted by or
against Tenant, its successors or assigns, or any guarantor of Tenant hereunder, the security shall be deemed to be applied to the payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due Landlord for periods prior to the institution of such proceedings
and the balance, if any, may be retained by Landlord in partial satisfaction of Landlord’s damages. In the event that any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other debtor-creditor proceedings shall be instituted by or against Tenant, its
successors or assigns, or any guarantor of Tenant hereunder, the security shall be deemed to be applied to the payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due Landlord for periods prior to the institution of such proceedings and the balance, if
any, may be retained by Landlord in partial satisfaction of Landlord’s damages. 
 Section 35.7. If the Security Deposit shall be
in cash, Landlord shall deposit the Security Deposit into an interest bearing account at a banking organization selected by Landlord. 
  

 -78- 








 All interest and/or dividends, if any, accruing on the Security Deposit, less a 1% per annum charge
for administrative expense, shall be added to, held and included within the term Security Deposit and, provided that no Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, shall accrue to the account of Tenant. Landlord shall not be required to credit
Tenant with any interest for any period during which Landlord does not receive interest on the Security Deposit. 
 ARTICLE 36 
 RENT REGULATION 
 Section 36.1.
If at any time or times during the Term of this Lease, the Rental reserved in this Lease is not fully collectible by reason of any Requirement, Tenant shall enter into such agreements and take such other steps (without additional expense to Tenant)
as Landlord may request and as may be legally permissible to permit Landlord to collect the maximum rents that may from time to time during the continuance of such legal rent restriction be legally permissible (and not in excess of the amounts
reserved under this Lease). Upon the termination of such legal rent restriction (a) the Rental shall become and thereafter be payable hereunder in accordance with the amounts reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the Term, and
(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, if legally permissible, an amount equal to (i) the items of Rental that would have been paid pursuant to this Lease but for such legal rent restriction less (ii) the rents paid by Tenant to Landlord
during the period or periods such legal rent restriction was in effect. This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease to the maximum enforceable extent. 
 ARTICLE 37 
 OPTION TO RENEW 
 Section 37.1. Provided that Tenant shall have performed fully, faithfully and in a timely manner all of its obligations (including the obligation to
pay Fixed Rent and Additional Rent) under this Lease during the five-year period immediately preceding the giving of the Renewal Notice (as hereinafter defined) by Tenant, and this Lease shall be in full force and effect as of the date of the
Renewal Notice and as of the Fixed Expiration Date and there shall not then be existing an Event of Default under this Lease, Tenant shall have one option to extend the Term of this Lease for the Renewal Term (as set forth in the Reference Page)
commencing on the day after the Fixed Expiration Date. Such option shall be exercisable by written notice (the “Renewal Notice”) to Landlord given not later than nine months prior to the Fixed Expiration Date. Notwithstanding the
preceding sentence, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may waive 

  

 -79- 








 
any Event of Default by Tenant and no such Event may be used by Tenant to negate the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of this option. The Renewal Term
shall constitute an extension of the initial Term of this Lease and shall be upon all of the same terms and conditions as the initial Term, except that (i) there shall be no further option to renew the Term of this Lease in the Renewal
Term, (ii) Landlord shall not be required to furnish any materials or perform any work to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy and Landlord shall not be required to reimburse Tenant for any Alterations made or to be made by Tenant,
(iii) the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term shall be payable at a rate per annum equal to the fair market rental value of the Premises as of the first day of the Renewal Term, and (iv) during the Renewal Term, (x) the term “Base
Tax Factor” shall mean the Taxes payable for the Tax Year beginning July 1, 2007 and (y) the term “Base Operating Factor” shall mean the Operating Expenses paid or incurred with respect to the Operating Year beginning
January 1, 2007. Fair market rental value shall be determined by taking into account (1) the condition of the premises in its then “as is” condition, (2) that Landlord has no obligation to perform any work to prepare the
Premises for Tenant’s occupancy or to reimburse Tenant for any Alterations to be made by Tenant, (3) that Landlord has no obligation to give Tenant any free rent during the Renewal Term or any other rental concessions, and (4) that
the Base Tax Factor and Base Operating Factor will be changed, but without taking into account the fact that (x) the Premises are then encumbered by this Lease giving Tenant the right to extend the Term and (y) Landlord is not paying a
full brokerage commission with respect to the Renewal Term as if such Term were a new lease of the Premises. Subject to clause (iv) above, during the Renewal Term, all Escalation Rent that Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease during the
initial Term hereof shall continue without interruption, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Renewal Term shall be deemed a part of and continuation of the initial Term of this Lease. 
 Section 37.2. If Tenant has given the Renewal Notice in accordance with Section 37.1 of this Lease, the parties shall endeavor to agree
upon the fair market rental value of the Premises, as of the commencement date of the Renewal Term. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the fair market value for the Renewal Term within six months prior to the first day of the
Renewal Term then the same shall be determined by two senior officers of recognized New York City leasing brokerage firms, one to be selected and paid for by Landlord and one to be selected and paid for by Tenant. The officers selected by the
parties shall have at least 10 years experience in (i) the leasing of office space in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York or (ii) the appraisal of first class office buildings in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. The
determination of the parties so selected shall be in writing and shall be final and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant and shall constitute the amount described in Section 37.l(iii). If such officers are unable to 

  

 -80- 








 
agree on such fair market rental value, they shall select another officer who shall have the same qualifications as are set forth in this
Section 37.2 and the determination of a majority of such officers shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and shall constitute the amount described in Section 37.1(iii). The fee of the additional officer selected pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. If, as of the commencement date of the Renewal Term, the amount of the Fixed Rent payable during the Renewal Term in accordance with this Article 37 shall not have been
determined, then, pending such determination, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent equal to the Fixed Rent payable pursuant to Article 2 of this Lease in respect of the last year of the initial Term of this Lease. After the final determination of the
Fixed Rent payable for the Renewal Term, the parties promptly and appropriately shall adjust rental payments theretofore made during the Renewal Term and shall execute a written agreement specifying the amount of the Fixed Rent as so determined. Any
failure of the parties to execute such written agreement shall not affect the validity of the Fixed Rent as so determined. 
 Section 37.3. It is an express condition of the option granted to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Article 37 that time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of such option within the period above
provided. 
 ARTICLE 38 
 COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT 
 Section 38.1. Landlord covenants that, upon Tenant paying the Fixed Rent and Additional
Rent and observing and performing all the terms, agreements, covenants, provisions and conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises, subject nevertheless to the
terms and conditions of this Lease, and provided, however, that no eviction of Tenant by reason of any termination of any Superior Lease to which this Lease is subject and subordinate, whether such termination is effected by operation of law, by
agreement or otherwise, shall be construed as a breach of this covenant nor shall any action by reason thereof be brought against Landlord, and provided further that this covenant shall bind and be enforceable against Landlord or any successor to
Landlord’s interest, subject to the terms hereof, only so long as Landlord or any successor to Landlord’s interest, is in possession and is collecting rent from Tenant but not thereafter. 
  

 -81- 








 ARTICLE 39 
 MISCELLANEOUS

understood that this Lease shall not constitute an offer by or be binding upon Landlord unless and until Landlord shall have executed and delivered a fully executed copy of this Lease to Tenant. 
 Section 39.2. The obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not be binding upon Landlord named herein after the sale, conveyance, assignment or
transfer by such Landlord (or upon any subsequent landlord after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by such subsequent landlord) of its interest in the Building or the Real Property, as the case may be, and in the event of any such sale,
conveyance, assignment or transfer, Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease thereafter arising, and the transferee shall be deemed to have assumed, subject to the
remaining provisions of this Section 39.2, all obligations of the Landlord under this Lease arising after the effective date of the transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord under this Lease shall remain obligated to pay Tenant
the full amount of the Landlord’s Contribution after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by Landlord. No trustee, partner, shareholder, director or officer of Landlord, or of any partner or shareholder of Landlord (collectively, the
“Parties”) shall have any direct or personal liability for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Real Property (or the proceeds from the sale
thereof) to enforce Landlord’s obligations hereunder and shall not otherwise seek any damages against Landlord personally or any of the Parties whatsoever. Tenant shall not look to any other property or assets of Landlord or any property or
assets of any of the Parties in seeking either to enforce Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord’s failure to perform such obligations. 
 Section 39.3. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this
Lease, whether or not expressly denominated Fixed Rent, Escalation Rent, Additional Rent or Rental, shall constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 -82- 








 
Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages against or liability of Landlord that Tenant may have based upon any assertion that Landlord has unreasonably
withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval requested by Tenant, and Tenant agrees that its sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any related provision or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment.
If with respect to any required consent or approval Landlord is required by the express provisions of this Lease not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent or approval, and if it is determined in any such proceeding referred to in the
preceding sentence that Landlord acted unreasonably, the requested consent or approval shall be deemed to have been granted; however, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant for its refusal or failure to give such consent or approval.
Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s unreasonably withholding or delaying consent or approval shall be as provided in this Section 39.5. 
 Section 39.6. Landlord shall have the right at any time, and from time to time, to amend unilaterally the economic provisions of this Lease if Landlord is advised by its counsel that all or any portion of the
Rental paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder is, or may be, taxable income within the meaning of the United States Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued thereunder, and Tenant agrees that it will execute all documents necessary to confirm any
such amendment, provided that no such amendment shall increase Tenant’s payment obligations or other liability under this Lease nor reduce Landlord’s obligations hereunder nor change the Term of this Lease nor materially and adversely
affect the rights or economic obligations of Tenant under this Lease. 
 Section 39.7. If Tenant shall remain in possession of the
Premises after the Expiration Date, without the execution by both Tenant and Landlord of a new lease, Tenant, at the election of Landlord, shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a Tenant from month-to-month, at a monthly rental equal to two
(2) times the Rental payable during the last month of the Term, subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. 
 Section 39.8. This Lease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this
Lease to be drafted. If any words or phrases in this Lease are stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Lease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise
eliminated were never included in this Lease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that such words or phrases were stricken out or otherwise eliminated. 
 Section 39.9. If any of the provisions of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, shall, to 

  

 -83- 








 
any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as
to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall remain valid and enforceable, and every provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 Section 39.10. Landlord shall have the right to erect any gate, chain or other obstruction or to close off any portion of the Real Property to the
public at any time to the extent necessary to prevent a dedication thereof for public use, provided that Tenant and its employees shall not be denied access to the Premises.

requested by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate in the form of Schedule D annexed to this Lease, duly executed and acknowledged relating to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. 
 Section 39.13. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and all prior negotiations and agreements are merged into this Lease.
Except as provided in Section 39.6, this Lease may not be changed, abandoned or discharged, in whole or in part, nor may any of its provisions be waived except by a written agreement that (a) expressly refers to this Lease,

(360) day year, with twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each.

Lessor and/or such Mortgagee has given its consent or approval. 
 Section 39.20. For the purposes of this Lease and all agreements
supplemental to this Lease, unless the context otherwise requires:

the provisions of Article 15, such dispute shall be settled and finally determined by arbitration in The City of New York in accordance with the following provisions of this Section. Within five Business Days following the giving of any
notice by Tenant to Landlord stating that it wishes such dispute to be so determined, Landlord and Tenant shall each give notice to the other setting forth the name and address of an arbitrator designated by the party giving such notice. If either
party shall fail to give notice of such designation within said five Business Days, then the arbitrator chosen by the other side shall make the determination alone. The two arbitrators shall designate a third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators shall

if any, in connection with any arbitration under this Section, including the expenses and fees of any arbitrator selected by it in accordance with the provisions of this Section, and the parties shall share all other expenses and fees of any such
arbitration. The arbitrators shall be bound by the provisions of this Lease, and shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify such provisions. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have duly executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.

 MORTGAGEE SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT 
 This AGREEMENT, made as of the
             day of August 1997, by and between TEACHER RETIREMENT SYSTEM OF TEXAS, LOS ANGELES FIRE AND POLICE PENSION SYSTEM AND THE ALASKA PERMANENT FUND, a constitutional

Street, New York, New York 10022 (hereinafter called “Tenant”). 
 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS, Mortgagee is the holder of the mortgagee’s interest under a mortgage dated as of March 6, 1990 and may hereafter be the holder of
additional mortgages (said mortgages, as they may have been heretofore amended, and as they may hereafter be amended, increased, renewed, modified, consolidated, replaced, combined, substituted, severed, split, spread or extended, being hereinafter
referred to as the “Mortgage”) encumbering the building and the leasehold interest in the land located at 125-135 East 57th Street in the City, County and State of New York that are more particularly described therein and in Exhibit
“A” annexed hereto (hereinafter called the “Property”); 
 WHEREAS, Tenant and TRST New York, Inc., LAFP New York, Inc.
and The Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation, as tenants-in-common (hereinafter called “Landlord”), have entered into that certain agreement of lease, dated as of August 14, 1997 (such agreement of lease, as it may hereafter be amended
from time to time being herein referred to as the “Lease”), covering portions of the ground floor, and the second floor of the building (hereinafter called the “Demised Premises”) situated on a part of the Property. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Lease now is and shall at all
times continue to be, and is hereby expressly made, subject and subordinate in each and every respect to the Mortgage, the lien thereof and the terms and provisions thereof. 
  

 E-1 








 Tenant, upon request, shall execute and deliver any certificate or other instrument that Mortgagee may
reasonably request to confirm said subordination. 
 2. Mortgagee shall not name Tenant as a party defendant to action for foreclosure or
other enforcement of the Mortgage unless required to do so by law), nor shall the Lease be terminated by Mortgagee in connection with, or by reason of, foreclosure or other proceedings for the enforcement of the Mortgage, or by reason of a transfer
of Landlord’s interest under the Lease pursuant to the taking of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure (or similar device), nor shall Tenant’s use or possession of the Demised Premises be interfered with by Mortgagee, subject to the
terms of the Lease. 
 3. In the event that Mortgagee’s successors and assigns, or any person claiming by, through or under Mortgagee or
the Mortgage, including but not limited to any purchaser at a foreclosure sale but excluding Mortgagee and any successor or assignee of Mortgagee which shall control, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, Mortgagee (any of the
foregoing, excluding Mortgagee and any successor or assignee of Mortgagee which shall control, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, Mortgagee, being hereinafter referred to as the “Successor”) acquires or succeeds to the
interests of Landlord, the Successor shall not be: 
 (a) bound by any prepayment of fixed rent or additional rent that Tenant
might have paid for more than the current month to any prior Landlord; or 
 (b) bound by any prior amendment or modification
of the Lease, or any waiver or forbearance with respect to any obligation of Tenant thereunder, made without the written consent of the then Mortgagee at the time of the making of such amendment, modification, waiver or forbearance; or 

(c) subject to any offsets or defenses against or liable for any act or omission of any prior Landlord; or 
 (d) liable for the performance of or payment for any initial work or installations that are required to be performed or made by the
Landlord for the correction of any defect with respect thereto; or 
 (e) liable for the performance of or payment for any
restoration work following any damage to or destruction of the Demised Premises or the Property following any fire or other casualty, unless insurance proceeds actually received by the Successor are sufficient to pay for such work and the Successor
does not elect to terminate the Lease in accordance with the terms of the Lease; or 
  

 E-2 








 (f) liable for any security deposit, in whatever form, provided by Tenant, unless such
security deposit shall have been received by the Successor. 
 The terms “Landlord” and “prior Landlord,” as used herein, shall include Landlord named in the Lease. The term “control” as used in this Section 3
(i) in the case of a corporation shall mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of the outstanding capital stock of that corporation, (ii) in the case of a general partnership, shall mean more than fifty (50%) percent of
the general partnership interest of the partnership, and (iii) in the case of a limited partnership, shall mean more than fifty (50%) percent of the general partnership interests of such limited partnership. 
 4. Tenant acknowledges that a collateral assignment of the Lease has been made to Mortgagee as additional security for the Landlord’s obligations to
Mortgagee, but Tenant agrees with Mortgagee that the acceptance by Mortgagee of such assignment does not constitute an assumption by Mortgagee of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease unless and until Mortgagee shall succeed to the position of
Landlord by taking possession of the Demised Premises or by foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise, that Mortgagee is not bound to Tenant to perform Landlord’s obligations under the Lease unless and until Mortgagee shall succeed to the
position of Landlord by taking possession of the Demised Premises or by foreclosure of the Mortgage or otherwise, and that in all events the Successor’s liability to Tenant shall be limited as provided by Sections 3 and 6 hereof. 
 5. If the interest of the Landlord under the Lease shall be transferred by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of the Mortgage or
pursuant to a taking of a deed in lieu of foreclosure (or similar device), Tenant shall be bound to the Successor and, except as provided in this Agreement, the Successor shall be bound to Tenant, under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of
the Lease for the balance of the term thereof remaining, with the same force and effect as if the Successor were the Landlord, and Tenant does hereby (i) agree to attorn to the Successor, as its Landlord, (ii) affirm its obligations under
the Lease, and (iii) agree to make payments of all sums due under the Lease to the Successor, said attornment, affirmation and agreement to be effective and self-operative, without the execution of any further instruments, upon the Successor
succeeding to the interest of the Landlord under the Lease. Tenant agrees, however, upon the election of and written demand by the Successor, within sixty (60) days after the Successor acquires title to the Property, to execute an instrument in
confirmation of the foregoing provisions, reasonably satisfactory to both parties, in which Tenant shall acknowledge such attornment. Tenant waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect that may give or purport to
give it any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect the Lease or the obligations of Tenant thereunder by reason of 

  

 E-3 








 
any foreclosure or similar proceeding. For the purpose of this Article 5, a Successor shall include an entity which shall control, or is controlled by, or is
under common ownership with mortgagee. 
 6. Anything herein or in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that Successor
shall acquire title to the Property, or shall otherwise become liable for any obligations of Landlord under the Lease, Successor shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor’s then interest, if any, in the Property and
Tenant shall look exclusively “to such interest of Successor, if any, in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Successor hereunder or under the Lease and Successor is hereby released or relieved of any other
liability hereunder and under the Lease. Tenant agrees that with respect to any money judgment that may be obtained or secured by Tenant against Successor, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Successor in the Property and
Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor. For the purpose of this Article 6, a Successor shall include an entity which shall control, or is controlled by, or is under common control with
Mortgagee. 
 7. This Agreement may not be modified except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties or their respective successors in
interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto, their respective heirs, representatives, successors and assigns, except that this Agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any assignee of Tenant
unless such assignee shall have acquired Tenant’s interest under the Lease pursuant to an assignment permitted under the Lease. 
 8.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way impair or affect the lien(s) created by the Mortgage except as specifically set forth herein. 
 9. Tenant agrees that this Agreement satisfies any condition or requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement by Mortgagee. Tenant further agrees that if there is any inconsistency between the terms and
provisions hereof and the terms and provisions of the Lease dealing with non-disturbance by Mortgagee, the terms and provisions hereof shall be controlling. 
 10. All notices, demands or requests made pursuant to, under or by virtue of this Agreement must be in writing and mailed to the party to whom notice, demand or request is being made by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, at its address set forth above. Any party may change the place that notices and demands are to be sent by written notice delivered in accordance with this Agreement. 
  

 E-4 








 11. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York. If any term of this Agreement
or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term to any person or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or
unenforceable shall not be affected thereby and each term of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 12. Tenant shall notify the Successor (if any) of any default of Landlord under the Lease at the same time that Tenant gives such default notice to Landlord. Tenant agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary,
no such default notice shall be effective and Landlord shall not be in default of the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under the Lease unless the Successor has received the notice as aforesaid and has failed within a reasonable
period of time to commence and diligently to prosecute the cure of Landlord’s default specified in such default notice in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
