TENANT’S
RIGHT TO TERMINATE


 


(A)         Tenant
may by at least one (1) year’s prior written notice (“Termination Notice”) sent to Landlord, at any time on
or after the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Last Portion Commencement Date, time being of the essence, elect to terminate
this Lease as to a Termination Space (as hereinafter defined), effective on the date (“Early Termination Date”)
specified in the Termination Notice, which Early Termination Date may be no earlier than one (1) year after the date on which
the Termination Notice is received by Landlord. The Termination Notice must also specify the Termination Space to which the
Termination Notice is applicable. If Tenant properly exercises such right of termination, this Lease shall terminate with
respect to the Termination Space specified in the Termination Notice on the Early Termination Date, but such termination
shall, at Landlord’s option, be effective only if (1) on or before the Early Termination Date. Tenant vacates and
delivers possession of the Termination Space in the condition required by this Lease: (2) Tenant is not in material default
of a monetary obligation under this Lease after written notice to Tenant from Landlord pursuant to Article 33 (F) below and
expiration of any applicable grace period at the time Tenant sends the Termination Notice and on the Early Termination Date;
and (3) Tenant pays the Termination Payment (as hereinafter defined) no later than thirty (30) days following the Early
Termination Date, provided Landlord has provided Tenant with an invoice therefor in a timely manner and reflecting the
appropriate amount of the Termination Payment in accordance with the schedule referred to in Section (E) of this Article
3.


 




    	 	-12-

“Termination Space” is one of the following only:


 


(1)         The
entire Demised Premises, as then constituted; or


 


(2)         Floor
8 and an unsubdivided 1/5 of the Lobby Space; or


 


(3)         Floors
4, 5, 6 and 7, the unsubdivided balance of the Lobby Space, the New Storage Space and the Parking Lot, together; or


 


(4)         the
Original Storage Space.


 


(C)         If
this Lease is effectively terminated in part pursuant to Section (A) hereof (i.e., if the Termination Space as to which
this Lease had been terminated had not been the entire Demised Premises), then Tenant shall have the right to send a second Termination
Notice, on all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section (A) (including the time periods, Termination Payment, and conditions
to the effectiveness thereof), except that (1) the termination date (“Final Termination Date”) specified in such second
Termination Notice shall be no earlier than two (2) years after the Early Termination Date under the first Termination Notice;
and (2) the Termination Space under the second Termination Notice shall be the entire remaining Demised Premises.


 


(D)         Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and without affecting Tenant’s right to send a second Termination Notice under Section
(C) of this Article 3, Tenant may terminate this Lease solely with respect to the Original Storage Space by a Termination Notice
effective at any time on or after the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Last Portion Commencement Date. In the event of
such a termination, there shall be no Termination Payment.


 


(E)         The
“Termination Payment” is the unamortized amount, as of the applicable Termination Date, of that portion of the brokerage

anything in this Lease to the contrary, the following items shall be excluded from Base Year Operating Expenses: (a) the costs
of repairs or other work occasioned by fire, windstorm or other insured loss (and, if Landlord has failed to maintain such insurance

    	 	-16-	 



     


    

 


(3)         “Base
Year Operating Expenses” shall mean the Operating Expenses for the calendar year 2000 (the “Base Year”).


 


(4)         The
intent of the parties is that Tenant shall pay its proportionate share of increases in Base Year Operating Expenses (i.e., Operating
Expense Escalations) based on the Building being fully occupied. Accordingly, in determining the amount of Base Year Operating
Expenses, if less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Building rentable area shall have been occupied by tenant(s) at any time
during the Base Year, Base Year Operating Expenses shall be an amount equal to those Operating Expenses that would have been incurred
in the Building under the definition of Operating Expenses above set forth had such occupancy been one hundred percent (100%) throughout
the Base Year.


 


(5)         Landlord
shall be required to notify Tenant of any significant related party transactions the cost of which are included in the Base Year
Operating Expenses. When such transactions occur, the prices of the same must be in line with normal industry practice in Brooklyn
for similar types of buildings. Failure to notify Tenant of such related party transactions shall result in a disallowance of any
costs thereof that would otherwise be part of the Base Year Operating Expenses. If such related party transactions occurred and
were disclosed but it is established that the cost thereof was excessive, then such charges shall be disallowed to the extent they
exceed normal industry prices in Brooklyn for similar types of buildings.


 




    	 	-17-	 



     


    

 


(6)         No
later than July 1,2001, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a schedule of Base Year Operating Expenses. Such schedule of Base Year
Operating Expenses must be prepared in a format no less detailed than the corresponding schedule which constitutes an exhibit
to the lease between Landlord and Tenant, dated as of January 1,1997, for space at 240- 250 Livingston Street, Brooklyn, New York
and which is annexed hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof. Such schedule of Base Year Operating Expenses must include a
statement signed by an executive of Landlord that avers that there is complete and accurate documentation in Landlord’s
or Landlord’s managing agent’s files to support each and every charge included in Base Year Operating Expenses. Landlord
must have supporting documents for each component of Base Year Operating Expense or any such component for which such documentation
is not furnished will be disallowed. Such schedule of Base Year Operating Expenses (“Expense Schedule”) shall
be accompanied by a report of Landlord’s Certified Public Accountant in the form attached hereto as part of Exhibit B.


 


(B) (1) (a)       “Price Index” shall mean The Consumer Price Index for U.S. City Average - All Urban Consumers
(1982-84 equals 100), issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.


 


(b)     “Base
Price Index” shall mean the Price Index for December, 1999.


 


(c)     “Operating
Year” shall mean each twelve (12) month period consecutively following the calendar year 2000, all or any part of which falls
within the Term.


 


(d)     “Index
Month” shall mean December, 2000 and the month of December in each successive Operating Year (so that the Index Month for
Operating Year 2001 shall be December. 2000, the Index Month for Operating Year 2002 shall be December, 2001, etc.).


 




    	 	-18-	 



     


    

 


(2)         “Operating
Expense Escalation” shall mean a sum which Tenant covenants and agrees to Landlord for each Operating Year commencing with
calendar year 2001, computed by multiplying (x) the sum representing the Base Year Operating Expenses by (y) the percentage, if
any, by which the Price Index, as published for the Index Month of the Operating Year in question exceeds the Base Price Index,
multiplied by (z) 63.4%,, which represents Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses under this Lease, assuming
Substantial Completion and/or delivery and/or occupancy by Tenant for the conduct of its business, of the entire Demised Premises
as provided hereinbelow in Article 6, but otherwise pro rata based on the percentages set forth in Section (F) of Article 3 herein.
(See example below for calculating the
Price Index change for a
sample Operating Year.)


 


(3)         Such
Operating Expense Escalation for every Operating Year shall be billed and paid as follows: Within two (2) months after the beginning
of any such Operating Year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement (hereinafter the “Expense Statement”) showing
the amount of such Operating Expense Escalation payable for the then current Operating Year (the “Amount’’),
which Amount shall be calculated by using the Price Index for the Index Month of the preceding Operating Year according to (2)
above. Tenant shall pay the Amount to Landlord in equal monthly installments in arrears on the last day of each and every month
during such Operating Year (except that the monthly installments for the months elapsing prior to the delivery of the Expense Statement
shall be payable with the monthly installment next accruing after the delivery of the Expense Statement).


 


(4)         Landlord
shall not be obliged to make any adjustments or recomputations, retroactive or otherwise, by reason of any revision which may later
be made in the figure of the Price Index first published for any month. The Price Index published for any Index Month shall, for
the purpose of this Section (A), be deemed no lower than the Base Price Index.


 




    	 	-19-	 



     


    

 


(5)         If
the Price Index ceases to use the 1982-84 average equaling 100 as the basis of calculation, then the Price Index shall be appropriately
adjusted to reflect the change in the Price Index from that in effect at the date of this Lease. If such Price Index shall no longer
be published by said Bureau, then any substitute or successor index published by said Bureau or other governmental agency of the
United States, and similarly adjusted as aforesaid, shall be used. If such Price Index (or a successor or substitute index similarly
adjusted) is not available, a reliable governmental or other reputable publication selected by Landlord and Tenant jointly and
evaluating the information theretofore used in determining the Price Index shall be used.


 


(6)         If
the Term ends on a day other than the last day of an Operating Year, Tenant’s liability under this Subparagraph (B) shall
be apportioned so that Tenant shall pay only such part of the sums required to be paid under this Subparagraph (B) that shall be
included in the Term.


 


(7)         Example
for calculating the Price Index change for Operating Year 2001.


 


	Index point change	 
	 	 
	CPI for December, 2000	140

II.          REAL
ESTATE TAX ESCALATIONS


 


(A)         The
term “Taxes” and “Real Estate Taxes” as used herein, shall mean the real estate taxes and assessments (including
special assessments) on or with respect to the Building and the land on which it stands (“Land”) which are assessed,
levied, or imposed by any governmental authority having jurisdiction including, without limitation, (i) assessments made upon or
with respect to any “air” and “development” rights now or hereinafter appurtenant to or affecting the Land;
(ii) any fee, tax or charge imposed by any governmental authority for any vaults, vault space or other space within or outside
the boundaries of the Land; and (iii) any taxes or assessments levied after the date of this Lease in whole or in part for the
public benefits to the Land or the Building, including, without limitation, Business Improvement District taxes and assessments;
without taking into account any discount that Landlord may receive by virtue of any early payment of Taxes, in each case, calculated
as if the Land and Building were the only asset of Landlord; 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 Land or the Building, or the occupancy, rents or income
therefrom, in substitution for 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 Land and Building. Excluded from the foregoing enumerations of Taxes and Real Estate
Taxes will be (i) any income, franchise, inheritance, capital stock, excise, excess profits, occupancy or rent, gift, estate, payroll
or stamp taxes or foreign ownership or control taxes and any capital gains tax and deed tax or transfer tax imposed by Article
29 of the New York State Tax Law, and any mortgage recording tax imposed by Article 11 of the New York State Tax Law, and (ii)
any Taxes resulting from an increase of the assessed value of the Building attributable to additions to the Building which increase
the rentable area of the Building. As of the date hereof, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, the only Taxes affecting the
Building and/or the Land are the real estate taxes payable to the City of New York.


 




    	 	-21-	 



     


    

 


(B)         Tenant
covenants and agrees that commencing as of July 1, 2001, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an annual sum (the “Tax
Payment”) equal to the product of: (x) Tenant’s Proportionate Share ( 63.4% , assuming Substantial Completion
and/or delivery and/or occupancy by Tenant for the conduct of its business, of the entire Demised Premises as provided hereinbelow
in Article 6, but otherwise pro rata based on the percentages set forth in Section (F) of Article 3 herein,), and (y) the amount
by which the annual Real Estate Taxes for the current July 1 - June 30 period (each such period, a “Tax
Year”) exceed the amount of Real Estate Taxes finally imposed or assessed on the Land and Building (but not including
the Parking Lot, which is covered by Subsection (E) below )for the July 2000—June 2001 Tax Year (“Base
Taxes”). Tenant shall pay the Tax Payment in two (2) equal installments, each of which shall be due within thirty
(30) days after Landlord presents to Tenant a copy of an official Real Estate Tax bill from the applicable governmental authority.
The Tax Payment payable for the Tax Year during which the Term hereof expires shall be prorated based on the number of days of
the Term which fall within such Tax Year.


 


(C)         Appropriate
adjustment shall be made for any refund obtained by reason of a reduction in the assessed valuation made by the assessors or the
courts for any period falling within the Term, including with respect to Base Taxes. In calculating the amount of such adjustment,
Landlord may deduct therefrom, any expenses incurred by Landlord, or Landlord’s estate, including payments to consultants,
attorneys and appraisers, in contesting, or otherwise seeking a reduction of, the Taxes and Real Estate Taxes or assessed value
of the Land or Buildings by tax certiorari proceedings or otherwise; provided, however, that Landlord shall not deduct payments
to any consultant, attorney or appraiser for performing the same function as another consultant, attorney or appraiser for which
Landlord is deducting its costs. The original computations, as well as payments of Additional Rent, if any, under the provisions
of this Article, shall be based on the original assessed valuation with adjustments to be made if and when the Tax refund, if any,
has been paid to Landlord. All rights and obligations of the parties hereto respecting any Tax Payments shall survive the expiration
or earlier termination of the Term hereof.


 




    	 	-22-	 



     


    

 


(D)         If
the Base Taxes shall be reduced or increased as a result of protests of proceedings filed therefor, then the Base Taxes shall be
amended to the amount actually collectible by the City of New York, and all previously made Tax Payments shall be appropriately
adjusted and any additional payments or credits shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after billed or credited by Landlord.
Landlord shall use best efforts to promptly notify Tenant in writing each time a tax assessment is challenged, but Landlord’s
failure to do so shall not affect the parties’ rights or obligations hereunder.


 


III.
RIGHT TO WITHHOLD AND AUDIT


 


(A)         If
Landlord fails to furnish any statements, schedules, forms (collectively “Statements”) under this Article relating
to Base Year Operating Expenses, Operating Expense Escalations or Real Estate Taxes or Tax Payments, Tenant may, after thirty (30)
days’ written notice to Landlord specifying the missing Statements and Landlord’s failure to furnish the missing Statements
within such thirty (30) day period, withhold all Additional Rent due and owing to Landlord, including but not limited to Tax Payments
and Operating Expense Escalations above, until Landlord furnishes the foregoing Statements. Tenant’s liability for Operating
Expense Escalations and Tax Payments due pursuant to this Article and/or Landlord’s liability for refunding any overpayment
by Tenant shall survive the expiration of the Term.


 




    	 	-23-	 



     


    

 


Pending any audit by the Tenant or Comptroller
of Operating Expense Escalations and Tax Payments for any calendar and/or fiscal year, including the Base Year Operating Expenses
and Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay Operating Expense Escalations and Tax Payments pursuant to the provisions hereof for such year
as billed by Landlord, provided, however, that once Tenant notifies Landlord as to a dispute Tenant shall have the right to withhold
only the disputed amount on account of Operating Expense Escalations or Tax Payments until the dispute in question is resolved;
and upon completion of such audit Tenant shall be allowed to deduct immediately overcharges detected upon audit from any installment
of rent then becoming due. or, if at the end of the Term, Tenant shall be entitled to a payment from Landlord for such amounts
within seven (7) days of Termination or expiration.


 


(B)         Any
right of Tenant to audit Base Year Operating Expenses shall be conditioned upon such audit being commenced by Tenant (without reference
to the Comptroller’s right to audit) within one (1) year after Landlord furnishes the Expense Schedule and such audit being
conducted in a reasonably expeditious manner. Any amount overpaid by Tenant shall bear interest at the Default Rate ( as hereinafter
defined) from the date of payment to the date of refund. Any amount wrongfully withheld by Tenant shall bear interest at the Default
Rate from the date such amount was first withheld until actually paid.


 




    	 	-24-	 



     


    

 


(C)         Tenant
and its authorized representative, at Tenant’s sole expense, shall have the right to examine and copy and, with respect to
computation of Base Year Operating Expenses Operating Expense Escalations, Base Taxes and Tax Payments, audit any and all relevant
books and records of Landlord, including, but not limited, original invoices, originals of executed contracts, original canceled
checks, general ledgers and books of original entry, for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of any Statement furnished by Landlord
to Tenant with respect to the Base Year Operating Expenses, computation of Operating Expense Escalations, Base Taxes and Tax Payments
hereunder, upon reasonable prior notice, during regular business hours. All such Statements are subject to verification by the
occupying agency or its representative and post-audit by the Office of the Comptroller, it being agreed that such verification
and audit rights shall not extend to an audit of Landlord’s operating expenses, except for Base Year Operating Expenses (since
Tenant’s payment obligations are based on the Price Index escalation above the Base Year Operating Expenses and not on Landlord’s
actual expenses). Landlord shall be required to retain the books and records required herein at its main office(s) or such other
locations within New York City as it may designate, for six (6) years after the period to which they relate.


 


(D)         Landlord
shall notify Tenant of (i) any protest filed by any other tenant of the Building regarding amounts billed for Base Year Operating
Expenses and/or Tax Payments pursuant to this Article; and (ii) with respect to any Base Year Operating Expenses and Base Taxes
and Tax Payments pursuant to this Article, any audits, resolution of audits, claims for a refund of overpayments, settlements of
overpayments, refunds of overpayments, and litigation and arbitration proceedings for recovery of overpayments, where such audits
and other actions result in a determination that overcharges have occurred. For litigation and arbitration proceedings for recovery
of overpayments, “determination” shall mean the trial-lower court or arbitrator’s determination, respectively,
prior to appeals. Tenant shall complete any examination or audit initiated for the verification of any Statement within a reasonable
time. If, at the end of such period, Tenant has not claimed in good faith to have found a miscalculation relating to such Statement,
Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted such Statement and shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, remit all disputed withheld
amounts (with interest as hereinabove provided). If Tenant does, within such period, claim in good faith to have found a miscalculation,
Tenant shall notify Landlord. Landlord and Tenant shall use good faith efforts to resolve any disagreement within ten (10) business
days after Tenant’s notice and, if they fail to do so, either party may submit such disagreement to arbitration in accordance
with Article 6 (X) below.

to be performed (“Phasing Plan”). Concurrently with the delivery of said Complete Plans to DRES, the Complete Plans
shall be filed with the Building Department, the Fire Department and all other governmental authorities having jurisdiction.


 


(C)         Within
fifteen (15) business days after delivery of the Complete Plans to Tenant, DRES will review and either approve or disapprove such
initial Complete Plans (including, without limitation, the Phasing Plan), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. If DRES fails to respond within such fifteen (15) business day period, such Complete Plans and the accompanying Phasing
Plan shall be deemed approved. If DRES does not approve such initial Complete Plans in their entirety, it shall, within such fifteen
(15) business day period, indicate in writing which aspects or portions of such Complete Plans it does approve, if any, and the
corrections reasonably required for its furnishing of such approval with respect to the remainder of such Complete Plans. Landlord
shall, within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such proposed corrections, resubmit revised Complete Plans and DRES shall,
within ten (10) business days after the receipt of such Complete Plans, either approve or disapprove such revised Complete Plans
in the same manner set forth above. If DRES does not approve such revised Complete Plans in their entirety, the foregoing process
shall continue, Landlord preparing revised Complete Plans and Tenant responding thereto, all within the time constraints and following
the procedures set forth in the immediately preceding two sentences, until Tenant shall have approved the revised Complete Plans
in their entirety, which approved revised Complete Plans are herein referred to as the “Final Plans.” Within ten (10)
business days after such approval is received, the Final Plans shall be filed with the Building Department, the Fire Department
and all other governmental authorities having jurisdiction.


 


(D)         Within
ten (10) business days after DRES’ approval of the Final Plans, and prior to the commencement of the Work, Landlord shall
deliver to DRES Building Department administrative approvals with respect to the Final Plans. If Landlord has not received such
Building Department administrative approvals within such ten (10) business day period, Landlord shall provide DRES with (1) reasonable
written verification that it has not received such administrative approvals; (2) a list of the most recent objections by the Building
Department and Landlord’s reply thereto; and (3) reasonable substantiation that Landlord is proceeding diligently to obtain
such administrative approvals. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Building Department administrative
approval of the Final Plans, Landlord will submit to DRES a copy of the Building Department permit for the performance of the Work
(“Building Permit”). If Landlord has not received the Building Permit within such ten (10) business day period, Landlord
shall (4) provide DRES with reasonable written verification that it has not received the Building Permit, and (5) furnish DRES
with reasonable substantiation that Landlord (a) has diligently pursued and continues to diligently pursue obtaining the Building
Permit, and (b) has responded in a timely manner to objections raised by the Building Department.

(E)         Landlord
hereby represents and warrants that it has the financial capability and/or adequate financing to complete the Work within the time
frames set forth herein. Landlord’s misrepresentation with respect to such capability shall constitute a basis for rescission
of this Lease.


 


(F)         During
the course of the preparation and revision of the Complete Plans and approval of the Final Plans, Landlord and DRES shall agree,
on a reasonable basis, with respect to not fewer than three general contractors and/or construction managers (one of which may
be Landlord or an affiliated entity) which shall be requested to competitively bid the performance of the Work (“Approved
Bid Contractors”). Within twenty (20) business days after DRES’ approval of the Complete Plans, Landlord shall submit
DRES-supplied cost estimate forms completed by each of the Approved Bid Contractors (“Cost Proposals”) for the performance
of the Work. The Cost Proposals shall indicate in reasonable detail the proposed cost of the Base Building Work (“Base Building
Work Cost”) and the proposed cost of the Tenant Work (“Tenant Work Cost”). The Base Building Work Cost and the
Tenant Work Cost (collectively, “Work Cost”) shall constitute all costs and expenses (excluding construction loan interest
and related financing cost) charged to Landlord for:


 


(1)         The
preparation and filing of the Final Plans (including, without limitation, all Architect fees and disbursements (as approved in
writing by DRES) for the preparation of the Final Plans and “as built” drawings pertaining to the performance of all
aspects of the Work and expediters’ fees and filing fees for the submission of the Final Plans to all governmental authorities
having jurisdiction for approval thereof);


 




    	 	-30-	 



     


    

 


(2)         Fees
charged by all governmental authorities having jurisdiction for approval of the Final Plans, issuance of the Building Permit and
all signoffs and approvals required to satisfy the requirements of this Article 6;


 


(3)         The
performance of all items of the Work in accordance with the Final Plans; and


 


(4)         One
general conditions’ fee from, and one charge for overhead and profit for, the Designated Contractor (as hereinafter defined),
but only to the extent indicated in the approved Cost Proposal.


 


Landlord shall not be
entitled to an administrative or management fee for the performance of the Work. There shall be no double payment by Tenant of
any item included in the cost of the performance of the Work, including, without limitation, any component of overhead, profit
or fees charged by the Designated Contractor.


 


(G)         Once
Landlord has received the Cost Proposals (which Cost Proposals shall clearly delineate the Base Building Work Cost and Tenant Work
Cost, as herein defined, as well as a breakdown of the Tenant Work Cost between Floor 8 and the remainder of the Office Space),
it shall within three (3) business days thereafter furnish DRES with the paperwork of the Approved Bid Contractor which furnished
the lowest bid for the total of the Base Building Cost and Tenant Work Cost, as herein defined. DRES may, within ten (10) business
days after its receipt of such Cost Proposals, approve or disapprove same, so long as any disapproval is predicated on a reasonable
basis and is consistent with the scope of work (constituting a part of Exhibit C annexed hereto) for the Base Building Work and
the Tenant Work. If DRES fails to disapprove the Base Building Work Cost and/or the Tenant Work Cost within such ten (10) business
day period, it shall be deemed to have approved both the Base Building Work Cost and the Tenant Work Cost. If DRES reasonably disapproves,
it shall meet with Landlord within five (5) business days thereafter and Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate reasonably and in
good faith and thereby agree upon the Base Building Work Cost and the Tenant Work Cost. As part of such negotiation, DRES shall
meet with the Approved Bid Contractor which furnished the lowest bid for the total of the Base Building Work Cost and the Tenant
Work Cost (“Designated Contractor”) and resolve (on a reasonable basis) any discrepancies in unit prices and quantities.


 




    	 	-31-	 



     


    

 


 


(H)         Landlord
shall pay the first $1,456,760.00 of the Work Cost (the “Landlord’s Contribution”) and Tenant, shall pay any
additional Work Cost (“Excess Work Cost”) which Excess Work Cost shall be paid as provided in Section (I) of this Article
6.


 


(I)         Tenant’s
share of the Work Cost shall not exceed $10,310,429.00 (“Not
to Exceed Amount”). Although Tenant shall be ultimately responsible for the payment, by way of
reimbursement, to Landlord, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 6, of the entire Work Cost in excess of the Landlord’s
Contribution, i.e., the Excess Work Cost, limited as hereinabove provided, the maximum amount which Landlord shall be required
to have advanced at any one time on account of Tenant’s share of the Work Cost shall not exceed $9,750,000.00 (“Landlord’s
Work Cost Advance”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tenant Work Cost may be further modified at a later date by DRES
requesting changes beyond the Final Plans, provided Tenant’s share thereof does not exceed the Not To Exceed Amount and the
limitation of the Landlord’s Work Cost Advance is not exceeded, and provided that, with respect to such changes, Tenant and
Landlord shall have agreed as to the nature, amount and cost thereof. If Tenant’s share of the Work Cost exceeds the Not
To Exceed Amount, Landlord shall promptly notify DRES and DRES shall meet with Landlord, the Architect and the Designated Contractor
to reasonably and in good faith resolve the overage, including, but not limited, to reducing the Base Building and/or Tenant Scope
of Work. However, Tenant may not reduce the scope of the Base Building Work without Landlord’s prior written consent. With
respect to items of such scope which involve elevator, HVAC and fire safety, Landlord’s consent may be unreasonably withheld.
With respect to all other items of such scope of work, Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


 




    	 	-32-	 



     


    

 


Landlord’s Initial
Work Cost Advance shall be repaid by Tenant to Landlord in the following manner:


 


(1)         The
portion of Landlord’s Work Cost Advance applicable to the Work for Portion   1 shall be repaid in a lump sum within
forty-five (45)days after the Commencement Dale for Portion 1; and


 


(2)         One-half
of the portion of Landlord’s Work Cost Advance, viz. that portion which is applicable to the Work for Portion 2, shall be
repaid over five (5) years from the Commencement Date for Portion 2, as hereinafter provided; and


 


(3)         One-half
of portion of the Landlord’s Work Cost Advance, viz. that portion which is applicable to the Work for Portion 3, shall be
paid over five (5) years from the Commencement Date for Portion 3, as hereinafter provided.


 


Following
the Commencement Date for each of Portion 2 or Portion 3, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the portion of Landlord’s Work
Cost Advance applicable to the Work for Portion 2 or Portion 3, as the case may be, on a self-liquidating basis, in sixty (60)
equal monthly installments of the portion of Landlord’s Work Cost Advance applicable to Portion 2 or Portion 3, together
with interest on each such portion, at the rate of two percent (2%) in excess of the so-called “ prime” or “base”
interest rate as established by the Citibank, N.A., or its successor, or if it ceases to exist the corresponding rate published
in the New York Times in effect on the Commencement Date for the applicable portion (“Loan Interest Rate”), provided,
however, that Tenant may at any time make additional payments in reduction of the outstanding balance of the portion of Landlord’s
Work Cost Advance applicable to either Portion 2 or Portion 3 without penalty, in which case the amount of any remaining monthly
payments shall be appropriately adjusted.


 




    	 	-33-	 



     


    

 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant in its sole discretion, may elect to reimburse Landlord for the portion of Landlord’s Work Cost Advance
applicable to both Portions 2 and 3 by a lump sum payment made within forty-five (45) days following the applicable Commencement
Date. Otherwise interest, as set forth above, shall be computed from the date of Substantial Completion until repayment in full
of the portion of Landlord’s Work Cost Advance applicable to Portions 2 and 3. In the event this Lease is terminated pursuant
to Article 3 hereof, Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord for the remaining balance of the portion of Landlord’s Work Cost
Advance applicable to Portions 2 and 3 of the Work in one lump sum on or before the effective date of termination.


 


If
Tenant fails to make any lump sum payment within the applicable forty-five (45) day grace period, such payment shall bear interest
at the Loan Interest Rate from the end of such forty-five (45) day period until paid in full.


 


(4)         The
entire then unpaid Landlord’s Work Cost Advance shall become due and payable, at the option of Landlord, upon (i)
Tenant’s failure to make any payment due under this Section (1) and the continuance of such failure for ten (10)
business days after Landlord’s written notice to DRES of such failure, unless such failure to make such payment is due
to to the once yearly registration of this Lease with the Comptroller’s Office (subject to a thirty (30) day
limitation), or (ii) the occurrence of any material monetary default by Tenant under this Lease that continues beyond any
applicable notice and/or grace period and which results in the termination of this Lease, or (iii) the termination of this
Lease for any reason whatsoever (other than pursuant to Section (Q) or (R) hereinbelow).


 




    	 	-34-	 



     


    

 


(J)         The
Base Building Work Cost and the Tenant Work Cost shall be subject to audit by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services
and/or its authorized representative but only if and so long as Tenant continues to make payment (which payment may be made on
a “without prejudice” basis) in accordance with Section (I) hereinabove, and, at the discretion of the Comptroller
of the City of New York, also may be post-audited by the Comptroller.


 


(K)         Landlord’s
Contribution and Tenant’s share of the Work Cost shall be paid for initially by Landlord (but only as and to the extent set
forth in Section (I) hereinabove). Landlord shall have a continuing obligation to make regular periodic payments to the Designated
Contractor, at approximately thirty (30) day intervals, in amounts reasonably commensurate with the amount of progress toward Substantial
Completion (as hereafter defined), during the period from the commencement of the performance of the Work through the Substantial
Completion of the Work so as to assure diligent and timely completion of the Work.


 


(L)         The
parties agree that the Demised Premises (other than the Original Storage Space) shall be renovated and delivered in the following
stages: (1) Portion 1 - Floor 8, and the Parking Lot; (2) Portion 2 - two additional floors of the Office Space and the New Storage
Space; and (3) Portion 3-the final two floors of the Office Space.


 


Subject to Sections (M)
and (N) hereinbelow, portions of the Work shall be deemed “Substantially Complete,” and “Substantial Completion”
of each of the several Portions of the Demised Premises (not including the Original Storage Space and the Parking Lot, which is
dealt with in Section (P) hereinbelow) shall be deemed to have occurred, upon:


 




    	 	-35-	 



     


    

 


(1)         Certification
by DRES (which certification shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of Landlord’s completion of the Tenant Work for
the applicable Portion (together with such portion of the Base Building Work as is necessary for the occupancy by Tenant of such
Portion), excepting minor details of construction or decoration which do not materially adversely affect Tenant’s occupancy
of such Portion; and


 


(2)         Delivery
to DRES of (a) all applicable Building Department and Fire Department inspection signoffs (including, without limitation, Building
Department Post Permit TR-1, equipment use permits, electrical and plumbing signoffs and compliance with the terms and conditions
of Article 26 of this Lease pertaining to Asbestos) with respect to such Portion (together with such portion of the Base Building
Work as is necessary for the occupancy by Tenant of such Portion) (self-certification by Landlord’s Architect and/or Landlord’s
engineer, with respect to items for which Building and Fire Department shall accept self- certification, shall be sufficient if
permitted by law or code), and (b) a certified air balancing report approved by Landlord’s engineer as being in conformance
with the portion of the Final Plans that are applicable to such Portion. DRES agrees to use reasonable efforts to assist Landlord
in scheduling prompt Building Department and Fire Department inspections, provided, however, Landlord has (i) submitted to the
Building and/or Fire Department all applicable papers and (ii) completed all necessary Work for sign-offs and (iii) requested said
inspections in a timely manner. Failure by DRES to use such reasonable efforts to assist Landlord in scheduling said inspections,
where Landlord has submitted all applicable papers and completed all necessary work for sign-offs, shall be deemed a Tenant Delay.


 




    	 	-36-	 



     


    

 


 


DRES shall
certify or deny certification of Substantial Completion pursuant to subsection (1) above within five (5) business days after DRES
receives written notice from Landlord that Landlord believes that the applicable Portion is Substantially Complete (which notice
must be accompanied by all applicable documents required pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b) of this subsection (2)). If DRES
fails to respond within such five (5) business day period, and provided all signoffs have been submitted, Substantial Completion
of the applicable Portion shall be deemed to have occurred on the day following such five (5) business day period. If signoffs
are temporary, Landlord will keep them in full force and effect. Prior to each applicable Substantial Completion Date, Landlord
shall remove all violations of record (including, without limitation, Building Code and Fire Code violations) then pending against
the applicable Portion and/or affecting Tenant’s access to and use of said applicable Portion, except those violations caused
by Tenant’s violation of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease or caused by other tenants in the Building, which
violations Landlord shall diligently proceed to advise such other tenant to remove.


 


(M)         Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article : (a) if Substantial Completion of any Portion is delayed by reason of any
one or more Tenant Delay(s), as hereinafter defined, the Rent Commencement Date for such Portion shall be advanced, following
achievement of Substantial Completion of such Portion in accordance with the terms of this Article 6, by the number of days
for such Tenant Delay(s) remaining after having deducted from such number of days of Tenant Delay any one or more days of
Landlord Delays, as hereinafter defined; (b) if Substantial Completion of any Portion is delayed by reason of any one or more
days of Landlord Delays, as hereinafter defined, the Commencement Date for such Portion shall be delayed, following
Substantial Completion of such Portion in accordance with the terms of this Article 6, by the number of days of such Landlord
Delay (s) remaining after having deducted from such number of days of Landlord Delay any one or more days of Tenant Delay as
hereinafter defined; and (c) any time period for either party to perform any obligation under
this Article 6 automatically shall be deemed extended by the period of delay in such party’s ability to perform the
applicable obligation caused by an Unavoidable Delay, as defined in Article 22 hereof.


 




    	 	-37-	 



     


    

 


 


(N)         (1)
For purposes of this Lease, a “Tenant Delay” shall mean any delay of one or more days (not due to an
Unavoidable Delay or Landlord Delay, as hereinafter defined), exceeding an aggregate of thirty (30) days, as a result of any
of the following, provided Landlord has notified DRES of same in writing by fax or mail: (i) any request by Tenant that
Landlord delay in proceeding with any segment or part of the Work; (ii) any changes or requests for changes, by or on behalf
of, Tenant, to the Final Plans pursuant to change order procedures set forth in Subparagraph (3) below; (iii) any failure by
Tenant to timely respond to submissions and timely complete its review and reasonably approve Complete Plans pursuant to the
time frames and other provisions set forth herein; (iv) any delay in the selection of materials to be made by Tenant; (v) any
failure by Tenant to make any payment when due as described in this Article; (vi) any failure by Tenant to respond reasonably, in good faith or within the time frames set forth herein or to respond with reasonable specificity where required herein;
or (vii) anything else expressly stated in this Lease to be a Tenant Delay.


 


(2)         If
Landlord shall be delayed in Substantially Completing any portion of the Tenant Work by reason of one or more Unavoidable Delays
or Tenant Delay or Tenant Delays in the aggregate, then Landlord’s time to complete the Work, as set forth in Sections (Q)
or (R) of this Lease, shall be extended one (1) day for each day of Unavoidable Delays and for each day of a Tenant Delay or Tenant
Delays in the aggregate. In that connection, the number of days of Tenant Delays shall be reduced by the number of days of delay
that Landlord has failed, due to any act or omission of Landlord, or its employees, agents, representatives or contractors, including,
but not limited to, the Architect, Landlord’s engineer, or the Designated Contractor (not due to an Unavoidable Delay or
Tenant Delay), to meet deadlines or respond reasonably, in good faith or timely perform obligations imposed on Landlord under
any provision of this Article, exceeding an aggregate of thirty (30) days of such delay, (“Landlord
Delays”), except that no day shall be counted as a day of Landlord Delay until Tenant has notified Landlord thereof
in writing by fax or mail. In calculating the number of days of Tenant Delay and Landlord Delay, each calendar day shall only
be counted as one day, regardless of whether more than one category of Tenant Delay or Landlord Delay is occurring on that calendar
day.


 




    	 	-38-	 



     


    

 


(3)         DRES
may request changes in the Final Plans (subject to the limitations hereinabove set forth with respect to Tenant’s right to
reduce the scope of the Base Building Work) consisting of additions, deletions or other changes in the Complete Plans. If DRES
desires to make a change, the same shall be communicated to Landlord by a written change order request. Provided that Landlord
otherwise approves such changes, Landlord shall promptly prepare and furnish to DRES a statement, setting forth Landlord’s
good faith estimate of the increase in the Tenant Work Cost, if any, as well as Landlord’s good faith estimate of any changes
in the progress of the Tenant Work (including the number of days of Tenant Delay), which would result by reason of such change.
If, within five (5) business days after DRES’s receipt of said statement, DRES issues a letter approving the aforesaid statement,
such statement shall constitute a mutually binding change order and such change order shall be included in the Final Plans. The
failure of DRES to so notify Landlord within said five (5) business day period shall be deemed a withdrawal by DRES of the request
for the change in question. Any increase in the Work Cost resulting from a change order requested by Tenant shall be deemed to
constitute a portion of Tenant’s Work Cost provided it does not exceed the Not To Exceed Amount. In addition, any delays
resulting from a change order or a request for a change order shall ( following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period of
delays referred to above in Section (N) (1) hereinabove be deemed to constitute a Tenant Delay.


 


(O)         The
Portion Commencement Date for each Portion (other than the Parking Lot) shall be the earlier of the date such Portion is or is
deemed Substantially Completed or the date on which Tenant commences business operations in any part of such Portion.


 


(P)         (1
)There is no Work with respect to the Parking Lot, except for the completion of the pending subsurface repairs (“Current
Repair Work”), which Landlord will complete with reasonable diligence. Landlord agrees to deliver to Tenant a vacant Parking
Lot with the Current Repair Work completed upon the Substantial Completion of the Work for Floor 8 (“Floor 8 Completion Date”).
Tenant acknowledges that it is aware that the Parking Lot is currently leased to a third party. If any occupant of the Parking
Lot fails to vacate the Parking Lot on or before the Floor 8 Completion Dale, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and
expense, diligently, using best efforts, immediately pursue all available legal remedies in order to obtain vacant possession of
the Parking Lot, including, without limitation, the commencement and diligent prosecution of a holdover proceeding, and shall keep
Tenant apprised of the status of such efforts. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and acknowledge that Tenant cannot effectively
use the Demised Premises without full use of the Parking Lot. If Landlord cannot deliver the Parking Lot to Tenant vacant and ready
for use by Tenant, with Current Repair Work completed, by the Floor 8 Completion Date, Landlord shall procure, at its sole cost
and expense, and rent free to Tenant, alternative parking spaces for the same proportionate number of vehicles as the capacity
of the applicable portion of the Parking Lot (“Substitute Parking Spaces”), all within a radius of not more than two
( 2) blocks from the Building, in stages, in the following proportions depending on which Portion of the Work has been Substantially
Completed, viz. 50% of the Substitute Parking Spaces shall be made available upon Substantial Completion of Portion 1, 25% of the
Substitute Parking Spaces shall be made available upon the Substantial Completion of Portion 2, and 25% of the Substitute Parking
Spaces shall be made available upon Substantial Completion of Portion 3 of the Work. In the event that, after four (4) months have
elapsed since the Last Portion Commencement Date, Landlord has still not delivered the Parking Lot vacant and ready for Tenant’s
use, with Current Repair s completed, Landlord shall continue to provide the Substitute Parking Lot (s) for Tenant’s use,
at Landlord’s sole cost and expense and rent free to Tenant, at no expense to Tenant, and, in addition, the Base Rent for
the Office Space as provided for in Article 2 (B) above shall be reduced by twenty percent (20%) at the end of such four (4) month
period until such time as Landlord has delivered such Parking Lot vacant and ready for Tenant’s exclusive use.


 




    	 	-39-	 



     


    

 


(2)         After
the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Last Portion Commencement Date, if the then Landlord under this Lease decides to
develop the Parking Lot, it may terminate this Lease with respect to the Parking Lot provided it provides Tenant, within a three
(3) block radius of the Building, with the same number of alternative parking spaces that Tenant is then utilizing in the Parking
Lot. The parties shall act reasonably and in good faith to work out the details of this arrangement. Any dispute in connection
with this Subsection shall be submitted to arbitration under Section (X) hereinbelow.


 




    	 	-40-	 



     


    

 


(Q)         If,
prior to Substantial Completion thereof, Landlord fails with respect to any Portion either to (i) meet any applicable time period
set forth in Sections (B), (C), (D) or (G) of this Article 6, or (ii) commence performance of the Work within ten (10) business
days after its receipt of Tenant’s approval of the Final Plans, the Base Building Work Cost and the Tenant Work Cost and
the agreed upon final Phasing Plan, and the issuance of all necessary governmental permits and approvals for the performance of
the entire Work, (subject, however, in each of clauses (i) and (ii), to Sections (M) and (N) hereinabove), Tenant may give Landlord
written notice advising Landlord of its failure to comply with any of the foregoing requirements (“Delay Notice”),
which Delay Notice shall specify, in reasonable detail, the unperformed requirement. If Landlord fails to commence compliance with
the requirement specified in the applicable Delay Notice (“Delay Notice Requirement”) within fifteen (15) business
days after its receipt of such Delay Notice and thereafter diligently and without interruption complete the performance of the
Delay Notice Requirement (subject, however, to Sections (M) and (N) hereinabove), Tenant may send Landlord a second notice of Landlord’s
failure to perform such Delay Notice Requirement (“Second Delay Notice”). If Landlord fails to commence the performance
of such Delay Notice Requirement within ten (10) business days after its receipt of the Second Delay Notice and thereafter diligently
and without interruption complete the performance of such Delay Notice Requirement (subject, however, to Sections (M) and (N) hereinabove),
Tenant, in addition to its rights and remedies hereinabove set forth, may terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days’ written
notice to Landlord.


 




    	 	-41-	 



     


    

 


(R)         Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to the last paragraph of this Section (R), if Landlord fails to Substantially Complete
the entire Work within six (6) months after Tenant’s approval of the Complete Plans, the Base Building Work Cost, the Tenant
Work Cost and the agreed upon final Phasing Plan and the issuance of all necessary permits and approvals for the performance of
the entire Work, assuming Landlord and/or its agents, the Architect, et al are acting diligently and without interruption to obtain
same and are using reasonable efforts in that regard (subject, however, to Sections (M) and (N) hereinabove), Tenant may give Landlord
written notice advising Landlord of its failure to timely Substantially Complete the entire Work (“Completion Delay Notice”).
If Landlord, following receipt of said Completion Delay Notice, fails to diligently continue, without interruption, to Substantially
Complete the entire Work (subject, however, to Sections (M) and (N) hereinabove), Tenant may send Landlord a second written notice
(“Second Completion Delay Notice”). If Landlord does not thereafter resume diligently and without interruption and
continuity performance of the Work Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord to that effect, such termination
to be effective ten (10) days after such notice is given. The foregoing remedy may not be exercised by Tenant if Landlord has completed
the entire Work (except for Punch List Items) and has timely filed all necessary paper work, but has not received the necessary
governmental signoffs within the time frames set forth in this Section (R), and has reasonably demonstrated to DRES in writing
that it is diligently pursuing receipt of such necessary signoffs, including, but not limited to, the use of Landlord’s reasonable
and diligent efforts. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to Landlord’s failure to complete Punch List Items,
as hereinafter defined.


 


Landlord
and Tenant hereby agree that certain components of the Base Building Work will lake more than the aforesaid six (6) month period
to Substantially Complete (the “Long Lead Items”). Such Long Lead Items shall be Substantially Completed within time
frames mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, acting reasonably and in good faith, no later than ten (10) business days from
the approval of the Final Plans by the Building Department.


 


(S)         After
Substantial Completion of the entire Work and as part of the Punch List below, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with “as built”
drawings covering the entire Demised Premises and other portions of the Building materially affecting access to the Demised Premises.


 




    	 	-42-	 



     


    

 


(T)         After
Substantial Completion of the entire Work and /or each Portion thereof, with respect to minor details of construction or decoration
which do not materially adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises, Tenant may submit to Landlord a written list
of such minor details, including such comments to “as built” drawings following completion of the entire Work, which
it reasonably deems to be incomplete (collectively, “Punch List Items”). Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such list of Punch List Items (subject, however, to Sections (M) and (N) hereinabove), commence performance of and thereafter
diligently proceed in a continuous manner to complete the Punch List Items. If Landlord fails to do so. Tenant may give notice
thereof to Landlord (“Punchlist Delay Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the Punch List Items which Tenant believes
Landlord is not performing (subject to Sections (M) and (N) hereinabove). If Landlord fails to commence performance of such specified
Punch List Items within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice and thereafter diligently proceed in a continuous manner
to complete such performance, Tenant may, (1) as
agent for Landlord, perform such specified Punch List Items and deduct the reasonable cost thereof from the Base Rent next accruing
under this Lease, or (2) withhold 150% of the reasonably estimated cost of the performance of such specified Punch List Items until
Landlord completes the performance thereof to the reasonable satisfaction of Tenant (and upon completion of such Punch List Items.
Tenant shall immediately pay such withheld amount to Landlord).


 


(U)         Landlord
acknowledges that the Demised Premises may be occupied and used by Tenant, its employees and invitees during the performance of
the Punch List Items. Accordingly, Landlord shall, and shall cause its contractors to, use good faith efforts to minimize noise,
dust and other conditions which may adversely affect Tenant, its invitees, employees and workers; and take every reasonable precaution
(i) against injuries to persons or damage to property and (ii) to provide for the safety of persons at the Demised Premises. Landlord

(A)         Landlord
has delivered to the Department of Citywide Administrative Services Certificates of Occupancy or other sufficient indicia of legality
for use of the Demised Premises for the purposes set forth in this Lease, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit F.


 


(B)         From
and after the Commencement Date, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, Landlord shall, except as otherwise herein set forth
(i) comply with all requirements, rules, laws, regulations and orders of Federal, State and local authorities and of any board
of fire underwriters having jurisdiction over the Demised Premises or the real property of which they form a part (including, without
limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”)) as in effect during the Term hereof, as the same may
be extended (collectively, the “Requirements”), and (ii) remove all violations which may be placed against the Demised
Premises or the real property of which they form a part, including, but not limited to, Building Code and Fire Code violations,
except those violations which are caused by Tenant’s manner of use thereof or its breach of the terms of this Lease, which
Tenant is required to comply with under the terms of this Lease or which are caused by other tenants in the Building (which latter
violations Landlord shall diligently proceed to cause to be removed).

Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (iii) with respect to the ADA and regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, Landlord shall
comply with and perform the Landlord’s obligations, if any, as a public accommodation pursuant to Title III of the ADA (but
it shall be Tenant’s obligation to comply with and perform all obligations with respect to Tenant’s obligation as a
public entity pursuant to Title II of the ADA for the Demised Premises and all common areas that service the Demised Premises in
and around the Building); and (iv) Tenant shall comply with all Requirements applicable to its manner of use of all or any part
of the Demised Premises.


 


(C)         If
Landlord fails to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this Article, Tenant may, in addition to its other remedies, give written
notice to Landlord specifying the respects in which Landlord so failed to perform its obligations and Landlord shall commence performance
of such obligations within three (3) business days after the giving of such notice and diligently proceed to complete the performance
thereof. (For the purpose of all provisions of this Article 7 and Articles 9 and
13, if Landlord’s on-site employees are not capable of performing an obligation of Landlord, then Landlord’s initiating
necessary telephone calls shall be deemed commencement of performance, provided that Landlord diligently and in a continuous manner
follows up such telephone calls with appropriate action.) If Landlord fails so to commence or diligently proceed in a continuous

it may have, may (i) as agent of Landlord, perform the same and deduct the reasonable cost thereof from any rent due or that may
become due and payable under this Lease, or (ii) withhold an amount of rent equal to one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the reasonable
cost of performance of such obligations as reasonably determined by Tenant until Landlord performs such obligations to the reasonable
satisfaction of Tenant, at which time any amounts so withheld shall be promptly paid to Landlord.

If
the obligations to be performed by Landlord are required to correct a condition that is hazardous to Tenant’s personnel or
to end an emergency, either of which also renders one full floor or more of the Demised Premises unusable for Tenant’s business
purposes (collectively, “Hazardous Default”). Tenant shall give Landlord and its managing agent immediate notice in
writing by hand delivery and facsimile, and Landlord shall commence the performance of such obligations by the next business day
(or, if the present owners of Landlord still then control Landlord, within the next two (2) business days) after receipt of such
notice and diligently proceed in a continuous manner to complete the performance thereof. If Landlord fails so to commence and
complete the performance of such obligations within the applicable time period after receipt of said notice, as aforesaid, Tenant
may (i) as agent for Landlord, perform the same and deduct the reasonable cost thereof from any rent due or that may become due
and payable under this Lease, or (ii) withhold an amount of rent equal to one hundred fifty (150%) percent of the reasonable cost
of the performance of such obligations as reasonably determined by Tenant until Landlord performs such obligations to the reasonable
satisfaction of Tenant, at which time any amounts so withheld shall be promptly paid to Landlord, or (iii) give Landlord and its
managing agent a second notice (the “Second Notice”) of said default in the manner above provided.

Furthermore,
if Tenant provides a Second Notice to Landlord of a Hazardous Default and Landlord thereafter fails to commence to cure such Hazardous
Default within three (3) days following receipt of the Second Notice, or fails thereafter diligently to proceed with continuity
to cure said default and, as a result of Landlord’s failure, (a) at least 28,754 rentable square feet of the Demised Premises
is rendered unusable for Tenant’s business purposes and (b) Tenant removes its personnel from such portion of the Demised
Premises, then Tenant may terminate this Lease on five (5) days written notice to Landlord.


 


If
Tenant discontinues use of any part or all of the Demised Premises because of Landlord’s failure to perform its obligations
under this Article, the rent shall be reduced proportionately to the space not being used by Tenant by reason of such failure until
such obligations are substantially completed (or, if earlier, until Tenant resumes use of such space).


 


If
Tenant is still able to use the Demised Premises for the purposes set forth in this Lease, but Landlord’s failure timely
to perform its obligations under this Article adversely affects Tenant’s operations within the Demised Premises in a material
manner, Tenant shall be entitled, during such period, to a bona fide equitable reduction in rent.


 


Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) Tenant’s rights under the foregoing provisions are conditioned upon it having
sent a copy of all of the above notices to the first mortgagee of the Building as provided in Article 21 hereof at the same time
as it sends any such notice to Landlord; and (ii) all of the above time periods and Tenant’s rights for Landlord’s
failure to perform its obligations are subject to extension by reason of Unavoidable Delay(s).

nine (9) months after such commencement (subject to Unavoidable Delays), Tenant may terminate this Lease on thirty (30) days written
notice (unless such failure is cured within such thirty (30) days) or, in addition to any other remedy it may have, may perform

(B)         If
the Demised Premises are partially damaged by fire or other casualty not described in Section (A) above, Landlord shall, within
fifteen (15) days after settlement of its insurance claim (which Landlord shall promptly and diligently prosecute in good faith),
commence and diligently proceed to complete the repairs and restoration of the Demised Premises to their condition prior to said
fire or casualty. If Landlord fails to commence as aforesaid or to complete the same within six (6) months after such commencement
(subject to Unavoidable Delays), Tenant, in addition to any other remedy it may have, may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord
thirty (30) days’ written notice (unless such failure is cured within such thirty (30) days) or may perform such repairs

From
the dale of such damage to the date that the entire Demised Premises have been completely restored as certified by DRES, such certification
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (or, if earlier, the date on which Tenant actually occupies the damaged portion of the
Demised Premises or any part thereof), Tenant shall pay rent for that part of the Demised Premises it is using during the alterations
and repairs on a square foot basis in an amount equal to the product of the dollar amount of rent per square foot allocable to
such space payable on such date and the number of square feet being occupied by Tenant.

SUBORDINATION
AND NON-DISTURBANCE


 


(A)         This
Lease shall be subject and subordinate to all present and future mortgages and/or ground and underlying leases, that may affect
the Land and/or Building and/or Parking Lot, provided, and as a condition precedent to the subordination of this Lease to any
present or future mortgages and/or ground and/or underlying leases, that the mortgagee under any such mortgage and/or lessor and/or
lessees under any such ground or underlying lease, shall execute and deliver to Tenant an agreement in recordable form and substantially
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H” and made a part hereof (the “SNDA”), whereby said mortgagees
and/or lessor and/or lessees, agree that should it become necessary to foreclose such mortgage or should the mortgagee and/or lessor
and/or lessee under any ground or underlying lease, otherwise come into possession of the Land and/or Building and/or Parking Lot,
such mortgagee and/or lessor or lessees will not join Tenant under this Lease in foreclosure or summary proceedings and will not
disturb the use and occupancy of Tenant under this Lease so long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Lease, beyond any applicable notice or grace period, and Tenant agrees to attorn to such mortgagee and/or
lessor and/or lessee as Tenant’s landlord hereunder.


 


(B)         Landlord
represents that there are no mortgages or ground or underlying leases presently affecting the Building, Land and/or Parking Lot.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there are any such mortgages, underlying or ground leases when Tenant advises Landlord that it
has received all necessary government approvals and is ready to execute this Lease, Landlord will cause its mortgagee (s) and/or
underlying or ground lessors and/or lessees to execute the SNDA forthwith and deliver it to Tenant as a pre-condition of Tenant
executing this Lease. Landlord’s failure to notify Tenant of the existence of any such mortgage and/or underlying or ground
lease, and obtain the SNDA from such mortgagee and/or underlying or ground lessor and/or lessee, promptly alter notice from Tenant
shall be grounds for rescission of this Lease by Tenant at any time, prior to Landlord obtaining the SNDA.

in interest in, and is seeking testimony concerning the award of, or performance under, any transaction, agreement, lease, permit
contract, or license entered into with the City, the State, or any political subdivision thereof or any local development corporation

to penalties under 1.4 above, provided that the party or entity has given actual notice to the commissioner or agency head upon
the acquisition of the interest, or at the hearing called for in 1.3(a) above gives notice and proves that such interest was previously
acquired. Under either circumstance the party or entity must present evidence at the hearing demonstrating the potential adverse
impact a penalty will have on such person or entity.


 


(E)         (1)         The
term “license” or “permit” as used herein shall be defined as a license, permit, franchise or concession
not granted as a matter of right.


 


(2)         The
term “person” as used herein shall be defined as any natural person doing business alone or associated with another
person or entity as a partner, director, officer, principal or employee.


 


(3)         The
term “entity” as used herein shall be defined as any firm, partnership, corporation, association, or person that receives
monies, benefits, licenses, leases, or permits from or through the City or otherwise transacts business with the City.

SIGNIFICANT
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


 


Landlord
shall be required to disclose and notify Tenant of any transactions with significant related parties, including subsidiaries and
affiliates of Landlord, the costs of which are charged to Tenant as rent, including, but not limited to, Base Year Operating Expenses,
overtime HVAC, Tenant repairs and common area electricity. Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice of such transactions
upon submission of invoices for Rent or at the end of the twelve (12) month period in which the transactions to be billed as rent
were performed by significant related parties. When such transactions occur, prices of the same must be in line with normal industry
practice in New York City. Landlord’s failure to notify Tenant of such related party transactions shall result in a disallowance
of such costs that would otherwise be billed as rent. If such related party transactions occurred and were disclosed, but it is
found by Tenant that the costs thereof exceed normal industry costs in an arms length third party transaction in New York City,
then such excessive charges shall be disallowed.

MISCELLANEOUS


 


(A)         Landlord
and its agents shall not be liable for any damage to property of Tenant or of others entrusted to employees of the Building, nor
for loss of or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting

employees. Landlord and its agents shall not be liable for any such injury, loss or damage caused by other tenants or persons in,
upon or about the Building or by any construction work performed by those tenants or persons.


 


(B)         Landlord
and its agents shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Demised Premises, in an emergency at any time and
at other reasonable times upon prior notice to Tenant, to examine the same and to make such repairs, replacements and improvements
as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable to the Demised Premises or any other portion of the Building. Tenant shall permit Landlord
to use, maintain and replace the present pipes and conduits in and to the Demised Premises and to erect new pipes and conduits
therein provided they are concealed within the walls, floors and/or ceilings. Landlord may (but subject to Article 23), during
the process of any work in the Demised Premises, take all necessary materials and equipment therein without the same constituting
an eviction or entitling Tenant to any damages or abatement of rent while such work is in progress, except as may be provided for
in Articles 9 and 13 above. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s conduct of its
operations and business. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, and in addition thereto, if Tenant cannot use
more than 50% of any floor or 20% of any storage space in the Demised Premises for more than five (5) consecutive business days
by reason of the foregoing circumstance the pro rata portion of the Base Rent, as set forth in Article 2 hereof, for such
entire floor (s) or entire storage space (s) so affected shall be abated until such time as Tenant can again fully use such space.

(C)         Throughout
the Term, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises at reasonable hours upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant
for the purpose of showing the same to respective purchasers or mortgagees of the Building and, during the last eighteen (18) months
of the Term, for the purpose of showing the same to prospective tenants. Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to minimize
interference with Tenant’s conduct of its operations and business and with due regard for Tenant’s security needs.


 


(D)         For
the purposes of this Lease, the term “Landlord,” as used in this Lease, means only the owner or the mortgagee in possession
from time to time of the Land and Building and/or Parking Lot (or the owner of a lease of the Building or of the Land and Building
and/or of the Parking Lot), so that in the event of any sale or sales of said Land and Building and/or Parking Lot, or of said
lease, or in the event of a lease of said Building, or the Land and Building, and/or the Parking Lot. the then Landlord shall be
and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, and it shall be deemed
and construed, without further agreement between the parties and the purchaser at any such sale, or the said lessee, that said
purchaser or lessee has assumed and agreed to carry out all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder.

Wakefield, Inc. (“C&W”) and (ii) Williams Real Estate Co., Inc. (“WILLIAMS”) and (iii) JULIEN STUDLEY,
INC. (“JS”) AND ((iv) DIANA & YURAS (“D&Y”) (collectively, “Broker”). Landlord
shall pay any commissions owing to the Broker pursuant to separate agreements. Tenant shall in no event be responsible to pay Broker
any commissions. Tenant and Landlord hereby indemnify and hold each other harmless against all loss, damage, liability, cost and
expense of any nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) based on any claim by any party (other than
the Broker) with whom such indemnifying party has dealt for a commission or other compensation in connection with this Lease which
is based on the actions of such party or its agents or representatives. The indemnified party shall cooperate with the indemnifying
party in any defense; and the indemnified party shall not settle a claim, liability or action for which the indemnifying party
has the obligation to defend or indemnify without the indemnifying party’s consent. The foregoing indemnifications shall
survive any expiration or termination of this Lease. For the purposes of possible reimbursement under Article 3 above, in connection
with a termination of this Lease under said Article 3, Landlord has provided Tenant a certified copy of the fully executed original
of the brokerage commission agreement(s), dated June 21, 1999, which provides for payment of the commission to C&W on which
Schedule 1 annexed hereto is based.


 


(F)         (1)
In addition to other rights and remedies available under this Lease and applicable law, this Lease and the Term and estate hereby
granted are subject to the further limitations that:


 


(a)          if
Tenant shall default in the payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent or other charges under this Lease and such default shall
continue for twenty (20) business days in the case of Base Rent or thirty (30) business days in the case of Additional Rent after
Landlord shall have given Tenant notice specifying such failure, except that if Landlord shall have given three (3) such notices
in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall not be entitled to any further notice of its delinquency in the payment of Base Rent
and Additional Rent until such time as twelve (12) consecutive months shall have elapsed without Tenant having defaulted in any
such payment; or


 




    	 	-78-	 



     


    

 


(b)          if
Tenant shall, whether by action or inaction, be in default of any of its obligations under this Lease (other than a default in
the payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges under this Lease) and such default shall continue and not be remedied
within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice specifying the same, or, in the case of a default which
cannot with due diligence be cured within a period of thirty (30) days and the continuance of which for the period required for
cure will not subject Landlord to any risk of forfeiture, penalties, or criminal liability or of default under any superior lease
or superior mortgage (or permit the lender not to fund the same), if Tenant shall not (i) within said thirty (30) days period acknowledge
the existence of such default and advise Landlord of Tenant’s intention to take all steps necessary to remedy such default,
(ii) duly commence within said thirty (30) day period, and thereafter continuously and diligently prosecute to completion all steps

(2)         Without
limiting any other rights or remedies of Landlord under this Lease, if Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent,
Additional Rent or any other item of rent within twenty (20) business days after any of the same shall be due in the case of Base
Rent or thirty (30) business days after the same shall be due in the case of Additional Rent, with one (1) additional grace period
of up to thirty (30) days each year for delays in payment due to the annual re-registration of this Lease by the Comptroller,

the date hereof, is currently nine percent (9%) and (b) the annual interest rate publicly announced by Citibank, N.A. (or any
successor thereto) at its principal place of business in New York City as its locally applicable so-called “base rate”
(the “Prime Rate”).
