(iv)    All other operating expenses with respect to the Property, including, but not limited to, salaries, vacation pay, sick pay, health, welfare, employer contributions, and pension and other benefits of the Union Employee(s) (as hereinafter defined), provided Seller shall provide appropriate backup for such items; Seller shall not be charged with termination pay arising by reason of Purchaser's termination of the Union Employee(s) or failure to hire any Union Employee, at or subsequent to the Closing, and Purchaser shall be fully liable for any such termination pay. If personnel engaged at the Property are in the employ of an agent or contractor (including any cleaning company engaged at the Property), then such adjustment or proration shall be made as appropriate with the agent to reach the same economic result as if in the direct employ of Seller but Purchaser shall not be required to hire such non-union employees;
(v)    Permit, license and inspection fees, if any, on the basis of the fiscal year for which levied, if the rights with respect thereto are transferred to Purchaser;
(vi)    Fuel, if any, at the cost per gallon most recently charged to Seller, based on the supplier’s measurements thereof, plus sales taxes thereon, which measurements shall be given by Seller to Purchaser as close to the Closing Date as is reasonably practicable, and which, absent manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on the Seller and Purchaser;
(vii)    Deposits on account with any utility company servicing the Premises to the extent transferred to (and assumed by) Purchaser shall not be apportioned, but Seller shall receive a credit in the full amount thereof (including accrued interest thereon, if any);
(viii)    Rents (as hereinafter defined), if, as and when collected, in accordance with Section 7(F) hereof;
(ix)    Leasing Costs, if any, in accordance with Section 20(B) hereof;
(x)    Payments due under any Surviving Contracts;
(xi)    Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the prepaid rents received by Seller in connection with the Leases covering any period after the Closing Date
(xii)    [Reserved];
(xiii)    All other items customarily apportioned in connection with the sale of similar properties similarly located.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not receive any offset or credit for free rent noted in any lease.
B.    Apportionment of real property taxes, BID taxes, water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and vault charges shall be made on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed.  If the Closing Date shall occur before the real property tax rate, BID taxes, water rates or charges, sewer taxes or rents or vault charges are fixed, apportionment for any item not yet fixed shall be made on the basis of the real property tax rate, BID taxes, water rates and charges, sewer  taxes and rents or vault charges, as applicable, for the preceding year applied to the latest assessed valuation.  

-9-
18848190v.10






After the real property taxes, BID taxes, water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and vault charges are finally fixed, Seller and Purchaser shall make a recalculation of the apportionment of same after the Closing, and Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall make an appropriate payment to the other based upon such recalculation.
C.    The amount of any of the unpaid taxes, assessments, water charges, sewer rents and vault charges which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge, with interest and penalties thereon (if any) to the Closing Date may, at Seller’s option, be allowed to Purchaser out of the balance of the Purchase Price, provided that official bills therefor with interest and penalties thereon (if any) are furnished by Seller at the Closing and provided that Title Insurer will omit same as exceptions from, or insure against collection from the Premises in, Purchaser’s title insurance policy, at no additional cost or expense to Purchaser.
D.    If any refund of real property taxes, BID taxes, water rates or charges, sewer taxes or rents or vault charges is made after the Closing Date covering a period prior to the Closing Date, the same shall be applied first to the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in obtaining same (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, accounting fees, consultant fees and filing fees) and the balance, if any, of such refund shall, to the extent received by Purchaser, be paid to Seller (for the period prior to the Closing Date) and to the extent received by Seller, be paid to Purchaser (for the period commencing with the Closing Date).  Any payment to Seller or Purchaser pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be net of any amount payable to a Tenant in accordance with its Lease (which payment to such Tenant shall be made promptly by the Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, after such refund is made).  Each of Purchaser and Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other as to any refund payment paid by it to the other for a Tenant.
E.    If there are meters measuring water consumption or sewer usage at the Premises, Seller shall obtain readings to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date.  If such readings are not obtained, water rates and charges and sewer taxes and rents, if any, shall be apportioned based upon the last actual meter readings, subject to reapportionment when readings for the relevant period are obtained after the Closing Date.  If any of the Tenants pay electric based on a submeter for their electric consumption, then the Seller shall cause any such submeter to be read as close as possible to the Closing Date and upon completion of such reading, the Seller shall bill each such Tenant electric charges, based on such reading.  At the Closing, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with documentation as to any such readings and billings for submetered electric charges.
F.    To the extent that Seller or Purchaser receives Rents after the Closing Date, the same shall be held in trust by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, and shall be applied in the order of priority set forth in this Section 7(F).
(i)    The following terms shall be as defined herein: “Base Rents”: fixed rent, and other amounts of a fixed nature (which may include, without limitation, electric inclusion and supplemental water, HVAC and condenser water charges paid or payable by Tenants; “Overage Rents”: a percentage of the Tenant’s business during a specified annual or other period (sometimes referred to as “percentage rent”), so-called “escalation rent”, and additional rent based upon increases in or otherwise attributable to real estate and BID taxes, operating expenses, utility costs,

18848190v.10






a cost of living index or porter’s wages or otherwise, but which shall in no event include Reimbursable Payments (as hereinafter defined); “Reimbursable Payments”: overtime heat, air conditioning or other utilities or services; freight elevator; electric inclusion and adjustments related to electric usage (such as rate and/or fuel adjustments and survey); submetered electric; supplemental water, HVAC, and condenser water charges; services or repairs, and labor costs associated therewith, to which a Tenant is obligated to reimburse the landlord under its Lease or for which a Tenant has separately contracted with Seller or its agent; true-ups on account of escalation and/or additional rent for years prior to the year in which the Closing occurs; above standard cleaning; and all other items which are payable to Seller as reimbursement or payment for above standard or overtime services (but which amounts shall not be treated as Reimbursable Payments if already included in a Tenant’s Base Rents); and “Rents”: all amounts due and owing from Tenants, however characterized, including, without limitation, Base Rents, Overage Rents and Reimbursable Payments.
(ii)    Base Rents and Overage Rents under the Leases shall be adjusted and prorated on an as, if and when collected basis.  Base Rents and Overage Rents collected by Purchaser or Seller after the Closing from any Tenant who owes any such amounts for periods prior to the Closing shall be applied in the following order, but shall be treated separately for such allocation purposes:  (a) first, in payment of such amounts owed by such Tenant for the month in which the Closing occurs, (b) second, in payment of such amounts owed by such Tenant for all periods immediately following the month in which the Closing occurs, (c) third, in payment of such amounts owed by such Tenant (if any) for any other period prior to the Closing.  Each such amount, less any third party costs of collection (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) reasonably allocable thereto, shall be paid over as provided above, and the party who receives any such amount shall promptly pay over to the other party any portion thereof to which it is so entitled.
(iii)    Reimbursable Payments shall not be apportioned or adjusted; to the extent incurred prior to the Closing Date, Reimbursable Payments incurred prior to Closing shall belong in their entirety to Seller, and shall be retained by Seller, and/or paid over to Seller by Purchaser, as applicable, on an as, if and when collected basis.  To the extent a payment is made by a Tenant which is specifically designated as being on account of one or more Reimbursable Payments due to Seller, by reference to a charge, invoice number or otherwise, or is of an amount which is equal to one or more Reimbursable Payments due to Seller, then same shall be treated as a Reimbursable Payment, and shall be paid over to Seller promptly upon receipt thereof.
(iv)    Purchaser shall bill Tenants who owe Rents for periods prior to the Closing on a monthly basis for a period of nine (9) consecutive months following the Closing and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due Rents (which efforts shall include, but not be limited to, including such amounts in Purchaser’s invoices and notices for rents due for the period after Closing, but excluding litigation or otherwise seeking to terminate the Leases) but Purchaser shall have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts.  Purchaser shall have no obligation to commence any action or proceeding to collect any such past due Rents, provided, however, if Purchaser in fact commences any such action or proceeding, the amount sought shall include all Rents unpaid for the period prior to the Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser shall fail to collect such past due Rents after such nine (9) month period, Seller shall have 

-11-
18848190v.10






the right to pursue Tenants to collect such delinquencies (including, without limitation, the prosecution of one or more lawsuits, but Seller shall not be entitled to pursue an action for eviction); provided, however, that in no event shall Seller have the right to terminate, or cause the termination of, the Lease of any such Tenants.
(v)    Purchaser shall (a) promptly render bills to the applicable Tenants for any Overage Rent in respect of a period that shall have expired prior to the Closing but which is payable after the Closing, (b) bill Tenants for any such Overage Rent on a monthly basis for a period of nine (9) consecutive months thereafter and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such Overage Rent (which efforts shall include but not be limited to, including such amounts in Buyer’s invoices and notices for rents due for the period after the Closing) but Purchaser shall have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser shall be unable to collect such Overage Rent after such nine (9) month period, Seller shall have the right to pursue Tenants to collect such delinquencies (including, without limitation, the prosecution of one or more lawsuits but Seller shall not be entitled to pursue and action for eviction); provided, however, that in no event shall Seller have the right to terminate, or cause the termination of, the Lease of any such Tenants.  From and after the Closing, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser calculations of the amounts due from Tenants on account of Overage Rent for periods prior to the Closing, and such other information relating to the period prior to the Closing as is reasonably necessary for the billing of any such Overage Rent.  Purchaser shall bill Tenants for Overage Rent for periods prior to the Closing in accordance with and on the basis of such information furnished by Seller.  Purchaser shall deliver to Seller, concurrently with the delivery to Tenants, copies of all statements relating to Overage Rent for periods prior to the Closing Date.
(vi)    Overage Rent for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser using a percentage derived by dividing the total operating expenses incurred for those operating expenses which are used by Seller in determining the operating expense pool for the calendar year in question over each parties’ actual expenses incurred for such operating expenses.  Seller shall be entitled to receive the proportion of such Overage Rent (less a like portion of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in the collection of such Overage Rent) that the portion of such period occurring prior to the Closing bears to the entire such period, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the proportion of such Overage Rent (less a like portion of any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in the collection of such Overage Rent) that the portion of such period from and after the Closing bears to the entire such period.  If, prior to the Closing, Seller shall receive any installment of Overage Rent attributable to Overage Rent for periods from and after the Closing, such sum shall be apportioned at the Closing.  If, after the Closing, Purchaser shall receive any installment of Overage Rent attributable to Overage Rent for periods prior to the Closing, such sum (less any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by Purchaser in the collection of such Overage Rent) shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller promptly after Purchaser receives payment thereof.
(vii)    To the extent that any payment on account of Overage Rent is required to be paid periodically by Tenants for any calendar year (or, if applicable, any lease year or any other applicable accounting period), and at the end of such calendar year (or lease year or other 

-12-
18848190v.10






applicable accounting period, as the case may be) such estimated amounts are to be recalculated based upon the actual expenses, taxes or other relevant factors for that calendar year (or lease year or other applicable accounting period, as the case may be), then Purchaser agrees to so recalculate same, subject to Seller’s review and reasonable approval of such recalculation, and to bill such Tenants for all amounts due from such Tenants on account therefor, within nine (9) months after the end of such calendar year (or lease year or other applicable accounting period, as the case may be).  At the time(s) of final calculation and collection from (or refund to) each Tenant of the amounts in reconciliation of actual Overage Rent, there shall be a re-proration between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement and Seller and Purchaser shall each be entitled to (or responsible for, as the case may be) the amounts attributable to such party’s period of ownership of the Premises, provided that Seller shall have no liability for amounts due to Tenants if Purchaser shall have failed to obtain Seller’s prior approval of any such recalculation.  Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all losses, costs, damages, liens, claims, counterclaims, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements) incurred by Seller as the result of Purchaser failing to pay over to any Tenant any amount paid by Seller to Purchaser on account of Overage Rent.  The Seller, on or prior to the Closing, shall complete the reconciliations with the Tenants for Overage Rent for calendar year 2014 and all prior years and to the extent any such Tenant overpaid such Overage Rent, the Seller shall, on or prior to the Closing, refund any such overpayment of Overage Rent to each such applicable Tenant.  At the Closing, the Seller shall provide documentation to Purchaser as to the completion of such reconciliations.  Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from any and all losses, costs, damages, liens, claims, counterclaims, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements) incurred by Purchaser as a result of the Seller’s failure to refund any overpayment of Overage Rent due by the Seller to any Tenant for any time period prior to the Closing.
(viii)    Until such time as all amounts required to be paid to Seller by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7(F) shall have been paid in full to the extent the Purchaser collects any arrears in Base Rents and/or Overage Rent owed to the Seller, Purchaser shall furnish to Seller a reasonably detailed monthly accounting of cash receipts from Tenants (accompanied by aged receivable reports) with a reasonably detailed accounting of amounts allocable to Seller pursuant to this Agreement, which accounting shall be delivered to Seller for each such applicable month, within twenty (20) days after the end thereof.  Seller and Purchaser and their representatives shall each have the right from time to time for a period of one (1) year following the Closing, on prior notice to the other party, during ordinary business hours on business days, to review each other’s rental records with respect to the Premises to ascertain the accuracy of any such accountings during the Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective periods of ownership for the Premises.
G.    If any adjustment or apportionment is miscalculated at the Closing, or the complete and final information necessary for any adjustment is unavailable at the Closing, the affected adjustment shall be calculated after the Closing.  The provisions of this Article 7 shall survive the Closing Date for a period of one (1) year.

As to those Letters of Credits which are not transferred to Purchaser at Closing (collectively, the “Non-Transferable Letters of Credit”), Seller shall execute at Closing the documentation necessary to cause the transfer or re-issuance of the Non-Transferable Letters of Credit and Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with each other on the Closing Date and following the Closing so as to effectuate the transfer of same to Purchaser and cause Purchaser to be the beneficiary thereunder or to obtain a replacement letter of credit showing Purchaser as the beneficiary thereunder.  Until the Non-Transferable Letters of Credit shall be transferred to Purchaser or replaced, as aforesaid, Purchaser shall hold the same, but upon request may deliver the same to Seller (if necessary), who shall then draw upon the same and deliver the proceeds to Purchaser or return the same to the applicable Tenant, in each case upon Purchaser’s written instruction.

	Conditions Precedent.  


A.    Seller’s obligations under this Agreement are subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which may be waived in whole or in part by Seller, provided such waiver is in writing and signed by Seller on or before the Closing Date:
(xvi)    Purchaser shall have paid or tendered payment of the Purchase Price and paid all other amounts payable by Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof;
(xvii)    Purchaser shall have delivered to or for the benefit of Seller, on or before the Closing Date, all of the documents and items required to be delivered by Purchaser pursuant to Article 8 hereof and Purchaser shall have performed in all material respects all of its other obligations hereunder to be performed on or before the Closing Date; and
(xviii)    All of Purchaser’s representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as if then made.
B.    Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which may be waived in whole or in part by Purchaser, provided such waiver is in writing and signed by Purchaser on or before the Closing Date:
(i)    Seller shall have delivered to or for the benefit of Purchaser, on or before the Closing Date, all of the documents and items required to be delivered by Seller pursuant to Article 8 hereof and Seller shall have performed in all material respects all of its obligations hereunder to be performed on or before the Closing Date; and
(ii)    Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, all of Seller’s representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as if then made, and shall survive for a period of one-hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing Date, other than those representations or warranties made as of a specific date, or with reference to previously dated materials, in which event such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of the date thereof or as of the date of such materials, as applicable.  For purposes hereof, a representation or warranty shall not be deemed to have been breached if the representation or warranty is not true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date by reason of changed facts or circumstances arising after the date hereof which did not arise by reason of a breach of any covenant made by Seller under this Agreement.

-18-
18848190v.10






C.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) Seller does not represent or warrant that any Lease will be in force or effect at Closing, that any Tenant will have performed its obligations under its Lease or that any Tenant will not be the subject of bankruptcy proceedings and (ii) the existence of any default by a Tenant, the failure by a Tenant to perform its obligations under its Lease, the termination of any Lease prior to Closing by reason of the Tenant’s default (if in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement) or the existence of bankruptcy proceedings pertaining to any Tenant shall not affect Purchaser’s obligations hereunder in any manner or entitle Purchaser to an abatement of or credit against the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Purchaser.
D.    Seller shall be entitled to one or more adjournments, not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate (along with all of Seller’s other adjournments under this Agreement), of the Closing Date to attempt to satisfy any of the conditions described in Section 9B above.
		
	10.
	Estoppel Certificates.  


A.    As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, Seller shall send to all of the Tenants a request to deliver estoppel certificates (individually, an “Estoppel” and, collectively, the “Estoppels”).  Thereafter, Seller shall use reasonably diligent efforts to obtain and to deliver to Purchaser Estoppels from all of the Tenants.  Seller shall obtain Estoppels from the following Tenants: McAloon & Friedman, P.C., General Services Administration, Securities Training Corporation, Open Kitchen 123 and International Center for the Disabled (collectively, the “Required Estoppel Tenants”).  Each Estoppel shall either (i) be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10 and made a part hereof, it being agreed that (a) the inclusion of qualifications as to knowledge or word of similar import, (b) references to a general condition statement such as “we reserve all rights” or “subject to our audit of ____ years operating expenses or taxes,” (c) non-material modifications, (d) modifications thereof to conform the same to Leases or other information delivered or available to Purchaser prior to the date of the execution of this Agreement shall not cause in each instance the Estoppel to be non-compliant or (ii) be on such other form as may be provided by any Tenant, provided that it certifies the matters contained in Exhibit 10; or (iii) in the event that any Lease provides for the form or content of an Estoppel that such Tenant shall be required to deliver, then such Tenant’s estoppel may be in such form or contain only those matters as an estoppel is required to address pursuant to the related Lease, without giving effect to any requirement regarding “additional information reasonably requested by the lessor” or words of similar import.  Purchaser acknowledges that the following NYS tenants use their own estoppel form which Purchaser agrees may be used in lieu of the form annexed hereto:  NYS Department of State, NYS Emergency Financial Control Board for New York City, NYS Office of Court Administration and NYS Comptroller’s Office.  Each Estoppel, in any of the foregoing forms, shall be executed and delivered by the Tenant, confirming in all material respects only such matters as an estoppel is required to address pursuant to the related Lease, it being understood and agreed that, for the purposes of this Section 10(A), an estoppel shall fail to confirm the applicable matters in all material respects if and only if the aggregate adverse economic impact as a result of all such failures is equal to or exceeds the Floor, as defined in Section 16(C) herein (Estoppels that do confirm such applicable matters are referred to herein as the “Confirming Estoppels”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation to deliver an Estoppel from any Tenant which is in default 

-19-
18848190v.10






in the payment of fixed rent or other fixed charges under its Lease or subject to bankruptcy proceedings as of the Closing (or on account of a rejected lease in bankruptcy), and the Required Percentage shall be reduced in the same proportion as the square footage of the Tenant then in default or bankruptcy and/or the rejected lease bears to the rentable square footage leased as of the date hereof (the “Adjustment Factor”).  In the event that Seller is unable to obtain Confirming Estoppels from Tenants occupying seventy-five percent (75%) of the leased rentable square footage of the Premises (the “Required Percentage”), Seller may, at its option, deliver one or more certificates in lieu thereof in substantially the same form as the form of Estoppel attached hereto as Exhibit 10 (each, a “Seller Certificate”) with respect to the Leases; provided, however, that such Seller Certificate is subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 16(C) and this Section 10(A).  In all events, Purchaser shall not be obligated to accept Seller Certificates in excess of ten percent (10%) of the leased rentable square footage of the Building or in place of an Estoppel from the Required Estoppel Tenants.  For the sake of clarity, Seller’s obligation at Closing is to deliver Confirming Estoppels covering at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the leased rentable square footage of the Premises (of which ten percent (10%) may be in the form of a Seller Certificate and which must also include Confirming Estoppels from the Required Estoppel Tenants).  Seller’s liability under each Seller’s Certificate shall expire on the earlier to occur of (a) the date of delivery to Purchaser of a Confirming Estoppel covering the amount of square footage covered by the Seller’s Certificate which has been given, or (b) the date which is one-hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing.  Subject to Section 10(B) below, Seller’s failure to deliver Confirming Estoppels (or Seller’s Certificates, as applicable) under this Article 10 shall constitute a failure of a condition to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and not a default by Seller, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to specific performance of such obligation of Seller to deliver such Confirming Estoppels.  Claims of any Tenant set forth in any Estoppel shall not be deemed (alone or in combination with other matters), to cause such Estoppel not to be a Confirming Estoppel in the event such claims are based on the (i) facts disclosed in writing or available to Purchaser prior to Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, (ii) an assertion by any Tenant that there are amounts due from Seller to such Tenant allocable to periods prior to the Closing and which, under the terms of this Agreement, Seller has agreed to pay (Seller, at its sole option, shall either pay such amounts to Tenant on or prior to the Closing Date or credit Purchaser at Closing against the Purchase Price in such amounts, or Seller shall deposit with Escrow Agent, as escrow agent, such amounts to be held in escrow pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably acceptable to Escrow Agent, Seller and Purchaser.  Such escrow agreement shall provide that amounts in escrow shall be released to Seller in the event a Confirming Estoppel is received within ninety (90) days after Closing, otherwise it shall be released to Purchaser (provided that if a credit is given, Seller shall have no liability to such tenant or to Purchaser with respect to such claim); or (iii) failure of the landlord to keep the Premises, the building systems or other improvements or equipment in good order and repair or to make required repairs or improvements thereto (it being agreed that Seller shall not be obligated to make any such repairs or improvements, and Purchaser hereby expressly agrees that for all purposes of this Agreement the obligation to make any such repairs or improvements shall be conclusively deemed to have arisen or accrued after the Closing).  
B.    Following the receipt by Seller of an original Confirming Estoppel from a Tenant, upon the request of Purchaser, Seller agrees to send such Tenants a form of SNDA (upon receipt thereof from Purchaser’s lender), which SNDA shall be among Purchaser, Purchaser’s Lender and 

-20-
18848190v.10






such Tenant, in connection with Purchaser’s financing.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, it is expressly understood and acknowledged by Purchaser that this Contract and Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are not contingent or conditioned upon the execution and return by Tenant of such SNDA nor entitle Purchaser to a reduction in the Purchase Price.
C.    Seller shall not be required to expend any money, provide financial accommodations or commence any litigation in connection with obtaining such Estoppels.
D.    Seller shall be entitled to one or more adjournments, not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate (along with all of Seller’s other adjournments under this Agreement), of the Closing Date to obtain Tenant Estoppels.
		
	11.
	Cancellation of Contracts.  


If Purchaser desires that Seller cancel any Existing Contract, and such Existing Contract is cancelable without cause upon no more than thirty (30) days’ notice by Seller or without payment of a cancellation fee or any other consideration (the “Desired Cancelled Contracts”), Purchaser shall provide Seller with a list thereof within four (4) business days prior to Closing.  Seller shall, on or before the Closing Date, notify all parties under the Desired Cancelled Contracts of such cancellation.  Purchaser understands and agrees that certain Desired Cancelled Contracts may remain in effect after the Closing through the expiration of the contractual termination period thereunder and that Purchaser shall be responsible for all payments and other obligations under such Desired Cancelled Contracts accruing after the Closing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the existing property management and leasing agency agreement with East End Realty shall be terminated by Seller as of the Closing and Seller shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated therewith.  The “Surviving Contracts” shall mean the New Contracts and the Existing Contracts, excluding those Desired Cancelled Contracts which have actually been cancelled with an effective cancellation date on or before the Closing.

	Title Insurance.  


A.    Title Insurer has issued and delivered to Purchaser and Seller a title insurance report and commitment dated December 10, 2014 for a fee owner’s title insurance policy (Title No. 820212(0–NY-CR-KV)B (“Seller’s Title  Commitment”).  Purchaser may order a new report (the “Commitment”) from Title Insurer and any update of the Commitment from Title Insurer.  At Closing, Purchaser shall cause title to the Premises to be insured by the Title Insurer at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation to remove any exception to title.  Except for the items identified in Exhibit “4(a)(ii)” (the “Known Title Objections”), Purchaser unconditionally waives any right to object to any matters set forth in Seller’s Title Commitment.  At Closing, Seller shall deliver and Purchaser shall accept the Premises subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.  If exceptions to title appear on the Commitment or any update or continuation of the Commitment (each a “Continuation”) which are not Permitted Exceptions or Required Removal Items, Purchaser shall notify Seller thereof within the earlier of five (5) business days after Purchaser receives such Continuation and the last business day prior to the Closing Date, time being of the essence, and if Seller is unable, or elects not to attempt, to eliminate such exceptions to title, or if Seller elects to attempt to eliminate any such exceptions to title but is unable to do so or thereafter decides not to eliminate the same, and accordingly, is unable to convey title to the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this 

-23-
18848190v.10






Agreement, Seller shall so notify Purchaser and, within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice from Seller, Purchaser shall elect either (i) to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller (time being of the essence with respect to Purchaser’s notice), in which event the provisions of Article 14 of this Agreement shall apply, or (ii) to accept title to the Premises subject to such exceptions, without any abatement of the Purchase Price.  If Purchaser shall not notify Seller of such election within such five (5) business day period, time being of the essence, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) above with the same force and effect as if Purchaser had elected clause (ii) within such five (5) business day period.
B.    If the Commitment discloses judgments, bankruptcies or similar returns against persons or entities having names the same as or similar to that of Seller but which returns are not against Seller, Seller, on request, shall deliver to Purchaser or Title Insurer affidavits reasonably acceptable to Seller to the effect that such judgments, bankruptcies or returns are not against Seller.
C.    If the Commitment discloses exceptions (other than the Permitted Exceptions) which (i) may be removed solely by reference to Seller’s existing title policy, or (ii) may be removed or satisfied by the payment of a liquidated sum of money (the “Title Cure Amount”) not in excess of One Million Dollars and 00/100 ($1,000,000.00) in the aggregate with any sums expended or incurred by Seller pursuant to Section 16(D), or (iii) were created, consented to or affirmatively permitted by Seller in writing after the date hereof, or is any mortgage encumbering the Premises (except that Seller shall not be required to satisfy the current mortgage covering the Premises if it is assigned pursuant to Section 43 below), then in any such case, Seller shall remove such exceptions and the failure on the part of Seller to have such exceptions removed shall be a Seller’s Willful Default (the exceptions meeting the criteria set forth in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii)  are referred to herein as “Required Removal Items”).  In addition, Seller shall cause the Known Title Objections and the Required Removal Items to be satisfied, bonded over or otherwise secured to enable the Title Insurer to insure over the Known Title Objections and the Required Removal Items, or to remove the Known Title Objections and the Required Removal Items from Purchaser’s title insurance policy (except that Seller shall not be required to satisfy the current mortgage covering the Premises if it is assigned pursuant to Section 43 below).  The cost of removing or satisfying the Known Title Objections of the Required Removal Items described in clauses (i) and (iii) of this Section 13(C) shall not be counted against the Title Cure Amount.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller, at its option in lieu of satisfying such exceptions, may deposit with Title Insurer such amount of money and provide such documentation, affidavits and indemnities as may be reasonably determined by Title Insurer as being sufficient to induce it to insure Purchaser against collection of such liens and/or encumbrances, including interest and penalties, out of or against the Premises, in which event such exceptions shall not be objections to title.  
D.    Seller shall be entitled to one or more adjournments of the Closing Date, not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate (in addition to all of Seller’s other adjournments under this Agreement), to remove any exceptions to title which Seller is obligated to remove under this Agreement or elects to attempt, but is not obligated, to remove.
E.    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 13, in the event that Title Insurer shall raise an exception to title which is not a Permitted Exception, Seller shall have no 

-24-
18848190v.10






obligation to eliminate such exception and Purchaser shall have no right to terminate the Agreement by reason of such exception if Title Insurer shall be prepared to insure title to the Premises at regular rates without such exception.
F.    Purchaser shall pay the costs of examination of title and any owner’s or mortgagee’s policy of title insurance to be issued insuring Purchaser’s title to the Property, as well as all other title charges, survey fees, recording charges and any and all other costs or expenses incident to the Closing.
G.    Notwithstanding anything in Article 13 hereof to the contrary, Purchaser may at any time accept such title as Seller can convey, without reduction of the Purchase Price or any credit or allowance on account thereof or any claim against Seller.  The acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser shall be deemed to be full performance of, and discharge of, every agreement and obligation on Seller’s part to be performed under this Agreement, except for the documents executed at Closing and such matters which are expressly stated in this Agreement to survive the Closing, to the limit of such survival.
		
	14.
	Return of Deposit.  


Subject to Section 13, if Seller is unable to convey title in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or if, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser is entitled to and elects to terminate this Agreement, subject to Article 23 of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except that Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any), and neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any further right or obligation hereunder, except for the rights and obligations hereunder that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
		
	15.
	Purchaser’s Default.  


If Purchaser shall default hereunder or shall fail or refuse to perform its obligations in accordance with this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that Seller’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any) as liquidated damages, it being expressly understood and agreed that in the event of Purchaser’s default, Seller’s damages would be impossible to ascertain and that the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any) constitutes a fair and reasonable amount of compensation in such event.  Upon such termination, neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except that: (a) Purchaser shall return to Seller all written material relating to the Premises or the transaction contemplated herein delivered by or on behalf of Seller in the manner provided in Section 12(B) hereof; (b) Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller and Seller shall retain the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any) as liquidated damages, except with respect to any breaches of Surviving Obligations (as hereinafter defined); and (c) any provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement (collectively, the “Surviving Obligations”) shall survive and continue to bind Purchaser and Seller.

For purposes of this Section 16(C), Purchaser shall be deemed to have actual knowledge if Purchaser and/or its affiliates and their respective officers, employees, agents, representatives or consultants had knowledge of the fact in issue prior to Closing.  As used herein, “Floor” shall mean with respect to any claim or claims against Seller for breach of any Surviving Seller Representation, Two Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($200,000.00), and “Ceiling” shall mean Two Million Five Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($2,530,000.00).  During the Survival Period, Seller agrees to maintain a net worth in an amount equal to the Ceiling, which Purchaser acknowledges and agrees may be satisfied by Seller maintaining cash and/or securities (which shall be reasonably evidenced by Seller to Purchaser).  If at the expiration of the Survival Period, Purchaser’s claim for Damages is less than the Ceiling, Seller’s agreement to maintain a net worth as set forth above shall be reduced to the amount of the Purchaser’s claim for Damages, if any.
D.    (i) Until Closing, Seller shall update any representation or warranty in this Agreement to correct any material mistake and/or to reflect any material matter which arises subsequent to the date of this Agreement.  If Purchaser has knowledge of any matter which would constitute a material breach of Seller’s representations and warranties, Purchaser shall notify Seller of such material breach within the earlier of five (5) business days of learning of same and the Closing Date, failing which Purchaser shall be deemed to waive any such material breach of Seller’s representations and warranties.  Seller shall have the right to contest Purchaser’s determination as to a material breach of Seller’s representations and warranties, and shall have the right to attempt to cure such breach without being obligated to complete such cure.  In addition, Seller shall have until the date that is the later of the originally scheduled Closing Date or sixty (60) days from the date of Purchaser’s notice to cure any such material breach of Seller’s representations and warranties and, at Seller’s sole option, the Closing Date shall be extended to such sixtieth (60th) day (or any earlier business day) after Purchaser’s notice to permit such cure by Seller.  If the Seller fails to cure any such

material breach of Seller’s representations and warranties, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which case Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any) to Purchaser and neither party to this Agreement shall thereafter have any further right or obligation hereunder, other than the Surviving Obligations.  For the purposes of Section 16, “material” shall mean any state of facts, taken alone or together with all other material untruths or inaccuracies and all such covenants with which Seller has not materially complied, the restoration of which to the condition represented or warranted by Seller under this Agreement, or the cost of compliance with which, would cost in excess of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($200,000.00).
(ii)    The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement are subject to the following limitations: (i) subject to the express provisions of Section 24, Seller does not represent or warrant that any particular Lease or contract will be in force or effect as of the Closing or that the tenants or contractors thereunder, as applicable, will not be in default thereunder, (ii) to the extent that Seller has delivered or made available to Purchaser (or to any Diligence Party (as hereinafter defined)) any Leases, contracts or other information with respect to the Premises at any time prior to the execution of this Agreement, and such Leases, contracts or other information contain provisions inconsistent with any of such representations and warranties, then such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to conform to such provisions and Purchaser shall be deemed to have knowledge thereof and, (iii) in the event that, prior to the Closing, Purchaser or any Diligence Party shall obtain knowledge of any information that is contradictory to, and would constitute the basis of a breach of, any representation or warranty or failure to satisfy any condition on the part of Seller, then promptly thereafter (and, in all events, prior to Closing), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller notice of such information as provided in Section D(i) specifying the representation, warranty or condition to which such information relates, and Purchaser further acknowledges that such representation, warranty or condition will not be deemed breached in the event Purchaser shall have, prior to Closing, obtained knowledge of any information that is contradictory to such representation or warranty and shall have failed to disclose to Seller as required hereby and Purchaser shall not be entitled to bring any action after the Closing Date based on such representation, warranty or condition.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser shall be deemed to know that any representation or warranty contained herein is untrue, inaccurate or breached to the extent that (1) Purchaser or any Diligence Party has knowledge of any fact or information which is inconsistent with such representation or warranty or (2) it is contained in the Diligence Reports or (3) this Agreement or any Lease, contract or other information with respect to the Premises delivered or made available to Purchaser or any Diligence Party contain provisions inconsistent with any such representations and warranties.  “Diligence Party” shall mean any of the following: (i) Purchaser and (ii) any direct or indirect officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, affiliates, attorneys and representatives of Purchaser who were involved in the negotiation of this Agreement, reviewed any Lease, contracts or other information relating to the Premises, were involved in the performance of the due diligence conducted in order to prepare the same, or who otherwise approved the transactions contemplated hereunder.  “Diligence Reports” mean the results of any examinations, inspections, investigations, test, studies, analyses, appraisals, evaluations and/or investigations prepared by or for or otherwise obtained by or on behalf of Purchaser in connection with the Premises.

E.    Any and all uses of the phrase, “to Seller’s Actual Knowledge” or other references to Seller’s knowledge in this Agreement (or in any Seller estoppel certificate or other document delivered by Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), shall mean the actual, present, conscious knowledge of Jonathon Yormak, Adam Pagoda, David Peretz, and Mark Van Zandt (collectively, the “Seller Knowledge Individuals”) as to a fact at the time given without any investigation or inquiry.  Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller Knowledge Individuals have not performed and are not obligated to perform any investigation or review of any files or other information in the possession or control of Seller, or make any inquiry of any persons, or to take any other actions in connection with the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement.  Neither the actual, present, conscious knowledge of any other individual or entity, nor the constructive knowledge of the Seller Knowledge Individuals or of any other individual or entity, shall be imputed to the Seller Knowledge Individuals.  Such individuals shall have no personal liability under this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the Real Property.

	Broker.  


A.    Seller represents to Purchaser that it has not dealt with any broker, finder or like agent in connection with this transaction other than CBRE (“Broker”).  Seller shall pay the amounts due Broker at Closing as set forth in a separate agreement by and between Seller and Broker.  Seller hereby indemnifies and holds Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims for any commission, fee or other compensation by any person or entity, including Broker, who shall claim to have dealt with Seller in connection with this transaction and for any and all costs actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with any such claims including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
B.    Purchaser represents to Seller that it has not dealt with any broker, finder or like agent in connection with this transaction other than Broker.

	Condemnation and Destruction.  


A.    If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any “Significant Portion” (as hereinafter defined) of the Premises is taken, or rendered unusable for its current purpose or reasonably inaccessible by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking which has not been consummated), Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact and Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to Seller given not later than five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s notice.  For purposes of this Section 18(A) and Section 18(B) hereof, a “Significant Portion” shall mean that the reasonable estimated cost to repair or restore such damage, or the amount of the condemnation award with respect to such taking shall exceed Ten Million Four Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,400,000), or if the ingress or egress to the Premises is 

-33-
18848190v.10






materially and permanently adversely affected or disturbed or more than five percent (5%) of the Improvements are taken.  If this Agreement is terminated as aforesaid, neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder except that Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit (together with interest thereon, if any).  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement (provided that Purchaser’s failure to elect to terminate shall be deemed an election to close pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) or if the portion of the Premises which is taken or rendered unusable or reasonably inaccessible by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking which has not been consummated) is not a Significant Portion of the Premises, Purchaser shall accept so much of the Premises as remains after such taking with no abatement of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign and turn over to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, all of Seller’s interest in and to all awards for such taking by eminent domain.
B.    If, prior to the Closing Date, a Significant Portion of the Building is destroyed by fire or other casualty.  Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of such fact and Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days’ notice to Seller given not later than ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice, which notice from Seller shall include an estimate from the adjuster for Seller’s insurance carrier as to the cost to restore the Premises, provided, however, that within such ten (10) day period Seller may, at its option, notify Purchaser that it intends to repair such damage at its sole cost and expense, and Seller may, upon such notice, postpone the Closing for a period of time reasonably necessary, but not to exceed One Hundred twenty (120) days in the aggregate, to make such repairs.  If Purchaser shall elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid (provided that Purchaser’s failure to elect to terminate shall be deemed an election to close pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), and Seller shall not notify Purchaser within such ten (10) day period of its intention to make such repairs, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except that Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any).  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement as provided above, or if the portion of the Premises so damaged or destroyed is not a Significant Portion of the Premises, (i) Purchaser shall accept the Premises in its then “AS IS” condition with no abatement of the Purchase Price, (ii) Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any settlement negotiations with Seller’s insurance carriers and adjusters, (iii) at Closing Seller shall assign and turn over to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, all of Seller’s interest in and to all casualty and business interruption and rental value insurance proceeds payable in connection with such casualty (except that the proceeds of any business interruption or rental value insurance payable to Seller shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date) and (iv) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at the Closing in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection with casualty coverage.  This Article 18 is an express agreement to the contrary of Section 5-1311 of the New York General Obligation Law.
C.    The provisions of this Paragraph 18 shall survive the Closing to the extent that any portion of insurance proceeds or condemnation awards is not fully paid or disbursed prior to Closing.

	Escrow.  


A.    The Deposit shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent, upon the following terms and conditions:
(iii)    Escrow Agent shall deposit the Deposit in an interest-bearing account or invest the Deposit in a money market or monetary fund;
(iv)    Escrow Agent shall deliver to Seller the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any) at and upon the Closing; and
(v)    If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, or if the Closing does not take place under this Agreement by reason of the failure of either party to comply with such party’s obligations hereunder, Escrow Agent shall pay the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any) to Seller and/or Purchaser, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
B.    It is agreed that:
(i)    The duties of Escrow Agent are only as herein specifically provided, and, except for the provisions of Section 19(C) hereof, are purely ministerial in nature, and Escrow Agent shall incur no liability whatever except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence;
(ii)    Escrow Agent shall not be liable or responsible for the collection of the proceeds of any checks used to pay the Deposit;
(iii)    In the performance of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any document, instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and signed by either of the other parties hereto or their successors;
(iv)    Escrow Agent may assume that any person purporting to give any notice of instructions in accordance with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so;
(v)    Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any modification, cancellation or rescission of this Agreement unless in writing and signed by Escrow Agent, Seller and Purchaser;
(vi)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 19(C) hereof, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify Escrow Agent for, and hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, costs or expenses in connection herewith, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred without willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with its acceptance of, or the performance of its duties and obligations under, this Agreement, as well as the costs and expenses of defending against any claim or liability arising out of or relating to this Agreement;
(vii)    Each of Seller and Purchaser hereby releases Escrow Agent from any act done or omitted to be done by Escrow Agent in good faith in the performance of its duties hereunder; and

-35-
18848190v.10






(viii)    Escrow Agent may resign upon ten (10) days written notice to Seller and Purchaser.  If a successor Escrow Agent is not appointed by Seller and Purchaser within such ten (10) day period, Escrow Agent may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to name a successor.
C.    Escrow Agent is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit.  Escrow Agent, except in the event of the Closing, shall not deliver the Deposit except on seven (7) days’ prior written notice to the parties and only if neither party shall object within such seven (7) day period.  If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver all or any portion of the Deposit or as to whom the Deposit is to be delivered, Escrow Agent shall not be required to make any delivery, but in such event Escrow Agent may hold the same until receipt by Escrow Agent of an authorization in writing, signed by all of the parties having any interest in such dispute, directing the disposition of the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any), or in the absence of such authorization Escrow Agent may hold the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any), until the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding.  If such written authorization is not given or proceedings for such determination are not begun within thirty (30) days after the date Escrow Agent shall have received written notice of such dispute, and thereafter diligently continued, Escrow Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit (together with all interest thereon, if any), in court pending such determination.  Escrow Agent shall be reimbursed for all costs and expenses of such action or proceeding including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, by the party determined not to be entitled to the Deposit, or if the Deposit is split between the parties hereto, such costs of Escrow Agent shall be split, pro rata, between Seller and Purchaser, in inverse proportion to the amount of the Deposit received by each.  Upon making delivery of the Deposit (together with interest thereon, if any), in the manner provided in this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation or liability hereunder.
D.    Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement solely to confirm that Escrow Agent has received the Deposit (if the Deposit is made by check, subject to collection) and will hold the Deposit, in escrow, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

Purchaser’s consent to such action shall be deemed granted.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 20(A)(i) to the contrary, in the event of the good faith issuance by Seller of a termination notice with respect to this Agreement as a result of Purchaser’s default, or alleged default (provided that such default is alleged in good faith), hereunder and  this Agreement terminates by notice from either party or otherwise as a result thereof, then this Section 20(A)(i) shall be deemed terminated and of no further force or effect.

Seller shall not increase or decrease the number of Union Employees without notice to and consent from Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and
(xiv)    Operate the Premises substantially in accordance with past practice; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, except for Landlord’s Lease Obligations, Seller may, but shall not be obligated to, make any capital or other repairs, replacements or improvements to the Improvements.  To the extent Seller elects to, or is required to, make any repairs, replacements or improvements to the Improvements (other than Landlord’s Lease Obligations) and the Purchaser approves same (which approval may be withheld or granted in its sole discretion), Purchaser shall, on or before the Closing, reimburse Seller for all sums actually expended by Seller between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date on account of such repairs, replacements or improvements made to the Improvements.
(xv)    Cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s cost and expense, both prior to and after the Closing, in connection with any and all reasonable information requests made by or on behalf of Purchaser (including contacting the previous owner of the Premises), which are required to complete a so-called “Section 314 audit”, including, but not limited to providing the following, to the extent applicable and in Seller’s possession or reasonable control or which can be obtained without unreasonable burden on Seller:  (a) monthly historical income statements for the Premises for 2014; (b) monthly historical income statements for the Premises for 2015, year to date; (c) five (5) years of annual historical occupancy and rent for the Premises; (d) back-up and supporting documents relating to the items set forth herein (such as bills, checks, etc.); and (e) the most current financial statement for each of the Tenants to the extent such current financial statements are in the possession of Seller or its managing agent.

Except as provided below and with respect to any Leasing Costs which are credited against the Purchase Price, the Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against any and all liability, court costs, judgment, claim, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with any unpaid Leasing Costs required to be paid by Seller pursuant to this Section 20(C)(1).  Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, cause the completion of Landlord’s Work required pursuant to this Section 20(C)(1) as soon as is reasonably practicable.  If Landlord’s Work has not been completed by Closing, then Seller shall, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, cause the completion of Landlord’s Work following the Closing.  After Closing, Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller to allow Seller to complete Landlord’s Work.    
(2)    Purchaser’s Responsibility for Leasing Costs.  Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment and performance of all of landlord’s obligations under the Leases and New Leases (defined below), other than Landlord’s Work, and for paying all Leasing Costs payable in connection with: (i) the Leases entered into on or after the date hereof, including, but not limited to, those Leases approved in writing by Purchaser (or deemed approved by Purchaser under this Agreement) and leases which are pending as of the Closing (and executed by Purchaser after the Closing) which, as of the date hereof include SingleStop USA, Coalition for Behavioral Services and AHRC, (ii) all renewals, amendments, modifications, terminations, extensions and expansions entered into after the date hereof with the written approval of Purchaser (or deemed approval of Purchaser under this Agreement) or, without Purchaser’s approval, if the lessor’s consent to such action is not required or is not to be unreasonably withheld under the terms of the applicable Lease (Leases satisfying the criteria described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively “New Leases”) and the applicable Leasing Costs are payable in accordance with the express terms of such existing Lease as to any renewals, exercised by a Tenant for a renewal period commencing after the date hereof and (iii) all renewals, amendments, modifications, extensions and expansions which have an effective date on or after the date hereof.  If on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have performed any Landlord’s Work or paid any Leasing Costs for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to this subsection, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller therefor at the Closing provided that Seller shall supply invoices, 

-39-
18848190v.10






statements or commission agreements for all such Landlord’s Work completed and paid for and Leasing Costs paid for.  
(3)    Review by Seller and Purchaser.  Prior to Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall review all Leases and related commission agreements and determine the amount of all Leasing Costs which are payable after the Closing for which Seller is responsible pursuant to this Section 20(C) and the aggregate amount thereof (if any) shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing.  If Seller gives Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, then Seller shall be relieved of all liability for Leasing Costs, and Purchaser shall pay such amounts as they become due, subject to the provisions of Section 7(G).  Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, judgment, claim, damage or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), in connection with Leasing Costs for New Leases and with respect to the non-payment of any Leasing Costs for which Purchaser has received a credit at the Closing.  Purchaser shall not be responsible for any Affiliate Leasing Costs.  The provisions of this Section 20(C) shall survive the Closing.
D.    Seller’s Base Building Capital Work.

After Closing, Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller to allow Seller to complete the Construction Work.  
E.    Purchaser has indicated that it intends to retain East End Realty (an affiliate of Seller) as property and construction manager at the Property following the Closing.  Seller’s willingness to remain responsible for the completion of Landlord’s Work set forth on Exhibit “16(A)(xxi)” and Seller’s Work set forth on Exhibit 20(D) is expressly conditioned upon East End Realty in fact being retained as property and construction manager at the Property following the Closing.  If East End Realty is not retained at Closing as the property manager at the Property, then in lieu of Seller remaining responsible for the performance and completion of Landlord’s Work set forth on Exhibit “16(A)(xxi)”and Seller’s Work set forth on Exhibit 20(D) after the Closing, Seller shall instead be permitted to credit Purchaser any amounts required to complete such Landlord’s Work and such Seller’s Work.  Seller shall provide evidence and documentation reasonably acceptable to Purchaser to substantiate the amounts to be credited to Purchaser as aforementioned.

B.    Seller, shall deliver to the Title Insurer at the Closing certified check(s), payable to the order of the appropriate tax collecting agency or official, in the amount of all Conveyance Taxes.

C.    The provisions of this Article 21 shall survive the Closing.
		
	22.
	Non-Liability.  


Except for the obligations of Seller to retain the Ceiling as set forth in Section 16(C), Purchaser agrees that it shall look solely to the Premises, and not to any other assets of Seller, or to the members, managers, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners or agents of Seller or any other person, partnership, corporation or trust, as principal of Seller or otherwise, and whether disclosed or undisclosed for the performance of any of the covenants or other Agreements contained hereto, to enforce its rights hereunder or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and that none of the members, managers, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, partners or agents of Seller or any other person, partnership, corporation or trust, as principal of Seller or otherwise, and whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal obligation or liability hereunder, and Purchaser shall not sue nor otherwise seek to assert any claim or enforce any of its rights hereunder against such party.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 22, Purchaser hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all claims and causes of action of any nature whatsoever it may now or hereafter have against such parties, and hereby unconditionally and irrevocably releases and discharges such parties from any and all liability whatsoever which may now or hereafter accrue in favor of Purchaser against such party, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

	Seller’s Inability to Perform; Seller’s Default.  


If Seller shall be unable to perform its obligation to convey the Premises to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than by reason of Seller’s Willful Default (as hereinafter defined)), then Purchaser, at Purchaser’s option shall either elect to (i) waive such inability to perform and proceed to the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, which election shall be made no later than the Closing Date.  If Seller shall be unable to perform its obligation to convey the Premises to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than by reason of Seller’s Willful Default) and Purchaser does not close the transaction contemplated hereby or make a timely election to waive such inability, then Purchaser shall be deemed to elect to proceed under clause (ii) above, in which case Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit (and all interest earned thereon, if any), and neither party shall thereafter have any further right or obligation hereunder.  “Seller’s Willful Default” shall mean Seller’s willful refusal to perform its obligation to convey the Premises to Purchaser in accordance with terms of this Agreement, provided: (1) the reasons for such refusal do not include conditions beyond Seller’s control or the unmarketability of title (subject to Seller’s compliance with its express

18848190v.10






obligations under Section 10); and (2) Purchaser has satisfied, or is able to satisfy by the Closing Date all conditions required to be satisfied by it under this Agreement, is not otherwise in default under this Agreement and is ready, willing and able to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and to deliver the Purchase Price due Seller under this Agreement.  In the event of Seller’s Willful Default, then Purchaser, at its sole option and as its sole and exclusive remedy may either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event Escrow Agent shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit (and all interest thereon, if any) and Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount up to Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars and 00/100 ($250,000.00) for Purchasers actual, out-of-pocket, third party costs, and neither party shall thereafter have any further right or obligation hereunder, other than the Surviving Obligations or (b) within forty-five (45) days after any rights of Purchaser arise due to a Seller’s Willful Default, bring an action in equity against Seller for specific performance.  In no event may Purchaser bring an action against Seller for damages or seek any remedy (whether or not in an action at law or in equity) against Seller that could require Seller to pay any monies to Purchaser whether characterized as damages or otherwise (except for an action to compel Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Purchaser if Purchaser is, in fact, entitled to the return thereof in accordance with this Agreement).  The untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller or Seller’s noncompliance with any of its covenants shall not be deemed Seller’s Willful Default, provided Seller has complied with its obligations under Section 16D(i) with respect thereto.

	Environmental Matters.  


Without limiting the generality of Article 24, Purchaser acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to conduct its own investigation of the Premises with regard to Hazardous Materials and compliance of the Premises with Relevant Environmental Laws.  Purchaser is aware (or has had sufficient opportunity to become aware) of the environmental, biological and pathogenic conditions of, affecting or related to the Premises and Purchaser agrees to take the Premises subject to such conditions.  Purchaser agrees to assume all costs and liabilities arising out of or in any way connected to the Premises, including, but not limited to those arising out of Hazardous Materials and Relevant Environmental Laws.  Purchaser hereby releases Seller, its principals and affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, partners, agents, employees, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, counterclaims and causes of action which Purchaser may now or in the future have against any of the foregoing parties arising out of the existence of Hazardous Materials affecting the Premises.

A.    If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Real Property relating to any fiscal year ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs are pending at the time of the Closing, Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same.  If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Real Property relating to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs are pending at the time of the Closing, then Seller reserves and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same, provided, however, that Seller shall not settle any such proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings.
B.    Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings applicable to the period prior to the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes applicable to the period from and after the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Purchaser; provided, however, that if any such refund creates an obligation to reimburse any Tenants for any Overage Rent paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement (after deduction of allocable expenses as may be provided in the Lease to such Tenant) shall, at Seller’s election, either (i) be paid to Purchaser and Purchaser shall disburse the same to such Tenants or (ii) be paid by Seller directly to the Tenants entitled thereto.  All reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to Seller and Purchaser, respectively (without regard to any amounts reimbursable to Tenants).
C.    The provisions of this Article 26 shall survive the Closing.

Effective as of the Closing Date, all Union Employees listed on Exhibit 16(A)(ii) (and any replacements thereof) shall be offered the same employment at the Building on substantially the same terms and conditions as such Union Employees were employed immediately prior to the Closing.  The parties agree that from and after the Closing the Union Employees shall be employed by Service Provider or another third-party service provider pursuant to a contract with Purchaser or its designee, as Purchaser elects in its sole discretion, in substantially the same manner as employment arrangements are currently addressed for the Property.  Purchaser shall be solely responsible for, and hereby assumes, or will cause its designee to assume, all liabilities whatsoever with respect to, any and all (i) salaries (for the period from and after the Closing Date), (ii) benefits attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date payable to the Union Employees and all relevant benefit plan contributions, (iii) benefit continuation and/or severance payments relating to any Union Employee that may be payable upon any termination of employment of any such Union Employee from and after the Closing Date, and (iv) notices, payments, fines or assessments due pursuant to any laws, rules or regulations arising under federal, state or local jurisdiction or otherwise, with respect to the employment, discharge or layoff of Employees from and after the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, such liability as arises under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code (COBRA) and any rules or regulations as have been issued in connection with any of the foregoing.

Purchaser, with respect to the period from and after the Closing Date, hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Seller and the other Seller Related Parties, and Seller, with respect to the period of Seller’s ownership of the Property prior to the Closing, hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Purchaser and its affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, partners, principals, members, managers, employees, agents and contractors against, and agrees to hold them harmless from, any and all claims, complaints, charges, grievances, losses, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and other liabilities or obligations incurred or suffered as a result of any claim by any Employee (or other representative thereof, including, without limitation, the union or any fund trustee) that arises under federal, state or local statute (including, without limitation, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the National Labor Relations Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, ERISA (as hereinafter defined), the Multi Employer Pension Plan Act of 1980 (including, without limitation, any claim for pension plan withdrawal liability arising out of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement), the Displaced Building Service Workers Protection Act of the City of New York, and all other statutes or rules regulating the terms and conditions of employment), under any regulation or ordinance, under the common law or in equity (including any claims for wrongful discharge or otherwise), or under any policy, agreement, understanding or promise, written or oral, formal or informal, arising out of actions, events or omissions that occurred (or, in the case of omissions, failed to occur) during the period of their respective ownership of the Property.

B.    Collective Bargaining Agreements.  Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume (or cause the assumption by its designee, Service Provider or another third party service provider), observe, pay and perform all obligations and liabilities under, arising from or otherwise relating to the Union Agreement.  Purchaser shall have sole responsibility for all such obligations and liabilities arising under or relating to the Union Agreement on or at any time after the Closing Date and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against all loss, cost and expense incurred by Seller as a result of the failure of Purchaser to so assume (or cause the assumption by its designee, Service Provider or another third party service provider), observe, pay and perform the same.  The parties acknowledge the enactment of the Building Service Workers Protection Act, §22-505 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York (“BSWPA”).  Purchaser and Seller shall comply with the terms of the BSWPA to the extent applicable.
C.    The provisions of this Section 27 shall survive the Closing.

SFS GL BU No. USCO1 REP/BOL No. 9842A 123 William Street New York, New York Office of Court Administration
Project No. PM-5992
Dear Mr. Pogoda:
This letter will serve to confirm the understanding between you and Paula Mirabile of this office, that effective May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016 the Office of Court Administration will continue to occupy the above premises.
During the term of this Agreement all terms and conditions of Lease No. L-9842A shall remain in full force and effect except Tenant shall have the right to cancel this Agreement on sixty (60) days advance written notice at any time after December 1, 2015.
By entering into a renewal or extension of this Lease, the Landlord certifies that it is not on the "Entities Determined To Be Non-Responsive Bidders/Offerers Pursuant to the New York State Iran Divestment Act of 2012" list ("Prohibited Entities List") posted on the Office of General Services (OGS) website at: http://www.ogs.ny.gov/about/regs/docsaistofEntities.pdf and further certifies that it will not utilize on such Lease any subcontractor that is identified on the Prohibited Entities List. The Landlord agrees that should it seek to further renew or extend this Lease, it must provide the same certification at the time the Lease is renewed or extended. The Landlord also agrees that any proposed assignee of this Lease will be required to certify that it is not on the Prohibited Entities List before the Tenant may approve a request for assignment of the Lease in compliance with Section 22 of the Lease.
During the Term of the Lease, should the Tenant or the Occupying Agency receive information that a person (as defined in State Finance Law §165-a) is in violation of the above-referenced certifications, the Tenant will review such information and offer the person an opportunity to respond. If the person fails to demonstrate that it has ceased its engagement in the investment activity which is in violation of the New York State Iran Divestment Act of 2012 within ninety (90) days after the determination of such violation, then the Tenant shall take such action as may be appropriate and provided for by law, rule, or this Lease, including, but not limited to, seeking compliance, recovering damages, or declaring the Landlord in default.
The Tenant reserves the right to reject any request for assignment made by or to not agree to an extension of the Lease with an entity that appears on the Prohibited Entities List prior to the extension or assignment of the Lease, and to pursue a responsibility review with the Landlord should it appear on the Prohibited Entities List hereafter.















































18848190v.6
18848190v.10






Due to the implementation of a different State Financial System, the process for new Landlord assignments has changed. Therefore, the Landlord shall not assign, sell, convey, transfer, mortgage, or pledge this Lease Agreement or any part thereof, or any rights created thereby or the letting, or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the STATE. Proper written notice, of a proposed assignment or transfer shall be given immediately by the Landlord to OGS by providing a properly completed and executed Consent to Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and all necessary documentation.
Landlord currently complies with "green cleaning" specifications and will continue to do so. Invoices are to be submitted as heretofore.
Please indicate your approval by signing and returning to this office these enclosed three (3) copies and the three (3) Standard Legal Acknowledgments.
Very truly yours,
