of Rent for the Premises in the amount of $75,246.99 (the “Abatement”), which Abatement shall be applied as follows:
$12,541.17 for each of the first six (6) calendar months following the Commencement Date.

defer the Commencement Date or otherwise invalidate the Lease.

E. Early Access.Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall be permitted access to the Premises no more than two (2) weeks prior to the Commencement Date, without
charge, for the purposes of installing wiring for telephone/data communication systems and for installation of any and all furniture
and personal property in the Premises, provided such access does not interfere with the performance of Landlord’s Work.
Tenant is fully responsible at its sole cost and expense and exclusive of any tenant improvement allowance, for the installation
and maintenance of the foregoing.


 


F.
Delivery of Possession. Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant, with Landlord's Work in the Premises Substantially
Completed, no later than March 31, 2015. If the Commencement Date shall not occur by March 31, 2015 and provided such delay is
not the result of Tenant Delay Days, in addition to the Abatement provided in Subsection C(ii) of this Article 1, Tenant’s
obligation to pay Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated one (1) day for each day thereafter until Landlord’s Work is Substantially
Completed. 


 


2.USE AND OCCUPANCY. Tenant
shall use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted Uses, and for no other purpose. The provisions of this Article shall be binding
upon Tenant's successors, assigns, subtenants and licensees and shall not be waived by any consent to an assignment or subletting
or otherwise except by written instrument expressly referring to this Article. Tenant shall not commit intentional waste, overload
the Building's systems in excess of their existing capacities (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, mechanical, life-safety, etc.)
or subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises (reasonable wear and tear accepted).


 


3. TENANT'S ALTERATIONS.


 


A.Alterations Within
Premises. Tenant shall not make or perform or permit the making or performance of, any alterations, installations, improvements,
additions or other physical changes in or about the Premises ("Alterations") without Landlord's prior consent, such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Subject to the prior written consent of Landlord, and to the provisions
of this Article, Tenant, at Tenant's expense, may make Alterations in or to the interior of the Premises which are nonstructural,
do not affect the Building's mechanical, electrical, plumbing, or other Building systems or the structural integrity of the Building,
do not affect any part of the Building other than the Premises, do not affect any service required to be furnished by Landlord
to Tenant or to any other tenant or occupant of the Building, do not reduce the value or utility of the Building and which are
performed only by contractors and mechanics reasonably approved by Landlord and in compliance with all applicable laws. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent for repainting, recarpeting, or other alterations,
tenant improvements, alterations or physical additions to the Premises which are cosmetic in nature totaling less than $50,000
in any single instance or series of related alterations performed within a six-month period (“Minor Alterations”),
in each case provided that such alterations, additions and improvements will not affect the Building’s structural or mechanical
systems. Tenant shall not perform work which would (i) require changes to the structural components of the Building or the exterior
design of the Building, (ii) require any material modification to the Building's mechanical, electrical, plumbing installations
or other Building installations outside the Premises, (iii) not be in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
requirements of any governmental department having jurisdiction over the Building and/or the construction of the Premises, including
but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or (iv) be incompatible with the Certificate of Occupancy for
the Building. Any changes required by any governmental department which are the result of the Alterations shall be performed at
Tenant's sole cost. All Alterations shall be done at Tenant's expense and in compliance with the Rules and Regulations and any
reasonable construction rules and regulations then in effect.


 






    	4



    	 



    

 


B.Restoration
of Premises. All furniture, furnishings and movable fixtures installed by Tenant must be removed from the Premises by Tenant
(other than in connection with Tenant’s initial occupancy of the Premises), at Tenant's expense, prior to the Expiration
Date. All Alterations in and to the Premises which may be made by Landlord or Tenant (exclusive of Landlord’s Work) prior
to and during the Term, or any renewal thereof, shall become the property of Landlord upon the Expiration Date or earlier end
of the Term or any renewal thereof, and shall not be removed from the Premises by Tenant unless Landlord, at Landlord's option
by notice to Tenant prior to the Expiration Date, elects to have them removed from the Premises by Tenant, in which event the
same shall be removed from the Premises by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, prior to the Expiration Date. In the event Landlord elects
to have Tenant remove such Alterations, Tenant shall repair and restore in a good and workmanlike manner to Building standard
original condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. Any
of such Alterations or other property not so removed by Tenant at or prior to the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the
Term shall become the property of Landlord, but nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve Tenant of responsibility for the cost
of removal of any such Alterations or other property which Tenant is obligated to remove hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right during the Term to remove any Alterations, Specialty Alterations, installations
or improvements upon the Premises in connection with the performance of any Alterations in the area of the Premises where such
Alterations, Specialty Alterations, installations or improvements are located.


 


C.Submission of Plans. Prior
to making any Alterations, other than Minor Alterations, Tenant (i) shall submit to Landlord or to a consultant appointed
by Landlord ("Landlord's Consultant") three (3) sets of detailed plans and specifications (including layout, architectural,
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, proposed floor and electrical loads, sprinkler and structural drawings stamped by a professional
engineer or architect licensed in the State of New York) for each proposed Alteration and shall not commence any such Alteration
without first obtaining Landlord's approval of such plans and specifications, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned, (ii) shall pay to Landlord all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord (including the
cost of Landlord's Consultant) in connection with Landlord's review of Tenant's plans and specifications, (iii) shall, at
its expense, obtain all permits, approvals and certificates required by any governmental or quasi-governmental bodies, and (iv) shall
furnish to Landlord evidence that Tenant, and Tenant's contractors and subcontractors engaged in connection with such Alterations,
are carrying such insurance as Landlord may reasonably require. Upon completion of such Alteration, Tenant, at Tenant's expense,
shall obtain certificates of final approval of such Alteration required by any governmental or quasi-governmental bodies and shall
furnish Landlord with copies thereof, including the "as-built" drawings showing such Alterations. In the event Landlord
fails to respond to Tenant's request for consent to Alterations within fifteen (15) days of Tenant's submission to Landlord of
Tenant's plans, said plans (and any resubmission of same in the event such plans are reasonably disapproved by Landlord within
the applicable period) shall deemed to be approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall be entitled to commence construction of the Tenant's
Alterations. If Landlord objects to or disapproves of any of Tenant's plans, it shall state its objections in writing, with reasonable
specificity such that Tenant may amend its plans accordingly and re-submit same to Landlord for approval in accordance herewith.
All Alterations shall be made and performed in accordance with the Rules and Regulations (hereinafter defined) and in accordance
with all applicable laws and ordinances, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, including but not limited to the
accessibility provisions thereof; all materials and equipment to be incorporated in the Premises as a result of all Alterations
shall be new and first quality of at least equal to Building standard; no such materials or equipment shall be subject to any
lien, encumbrance, chattel mortgage or title retention or security agreement. Landlord's approval of Tenant's plans, specifications
and working drawings for Alterations shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord with respect to their
completeness, design, sufficiency or compliance with all applicable laws, rules or regulations of governmental agencies or authorities.

D. Performance and
Payment Bonds. As a condition to Tenant performing any Alterations in or to the Premises costing in excess of $100,000.00 and
prior to the commencement of any such Alterations, Tenant shall furnish a contractor's performance and payment bond guaranteeing
lien free completion of the work or alterations and payment of obligations to its sub-contractors and suppliers. The amount, form
and substance of such bond shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord, providing for a direct right of action against the surety
by a claimant, naming Landlord and its Mortgagee as co-obligees, and shall be underwritten by a surety company authorized to do
and doing business in the State of New York and with a "Best" rating of A+/VII, or better.


 


E.Mechanics' Liens;
Labor Conflicts.Any mechanic's lien filed against the Premises, or the Real Property, for work claimed to have been done
for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant, shall be discharged by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Tenant
receives notice of such lien to prevent the forfeiture of the Premises, the Real Property or any interest of Landlord therein or
the imposition of a civil or criminal fine with respect thereto, at Tenant's expense, by payment or filing the bond required by
law. Tenant shall not, at any time prior to or during the Term, directly or indirectly employ, or permit the employment of, any
contractor, service provider, mechanic or laborer in the Premises, whether in connection with any Alterations, cleaning services
or otherwise, if, in Landlord's sole but reasonable discretion, such employment will violate any union contracts with other contractors,
service providers, mechanics, or laborers engaged in the construction, cleaning, maintenance or operation of the Building by Landlord,
Tenant or others. In the event of any such violation, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall cause all contractors, service providers,
mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building immediately


 


4.REPAIRS. Landlord shall
maintain and repair the exterior (including window glass) of and the structural and the public portions of the Building and all
Building systems servicing the Premises. Tenant shall, throughout the Term, take good care of the Premises and the fixtures and
appurtenances therein and at Tenant's sole cost and expense, make all nonstructural repairs thereto as and when needed to preserve
them in good working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms
of this Lease excepted. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all replacements to the lamps, tubes, ballasts and starters in the
lighting fixtures installed in the Premises (except with respect to the Landlord’s Work). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
all damage or injury to the Premises or, subject to Landlord's direction and supervision, to any other part of the Building, or
to its fixtures, equipment and appurtenances, whether requiring structural or nonstructural repairs, caused by or resulting from
the improper act, improper omission, neglect or improper conduct of, or Alterations made by, or any work, labor, service or equipment
done for or supplied to, Tenant or any subtenant, or the installation, use or operation of any property or equipment by Tenant
or any of Tenant's subtenants, agents, employees, invitees or licensees, shall be repaired promptly by Tenant, at its sole cost
and expense, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant also shall repair all damage to the Building and the Premises caused
by the moving of Tenant's fixtures, furniture or equipment (normal wear and tear excepted). All the aforesaid repairs shall be
of quality and class equal to the original work or construction and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 3
hereof. If Tenant fails after thirty (30) days notice to proceed with due diligence to make repairs required to be made by Tenant
hereunder, or if Landlord elects to make any repairs in or to the Building or the facilities and systems thereof for which Tenant
is responsible, the same may be made by Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, and the out-of-pocket expenses thereof incurred by
Landlord shall be collectible by Landlord as Additional Rent promptly after rendition of a bill or statement therefor. Tenant shall
give Landlord prompt notice upon its obtaining actual knowledge of any defective condition in the Premises for which Landlord may
be responsible hereunder. Except as expressly provided in Article 10 hereof, there shall be no allowance to Tenant for a diminution
of rental value and no liability on the part of Landlord by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from
Landlord, Tenant or others making, or failing to make, any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in or to any portion
of the Building, or the Premises, or in or to fixtures, appurtenances, or equipment thereof. The water and wash closets and other
plumbing fixtures shall not be used for any purposes other than those for which they were designed or constructed, and no sweepings,
rubbish, rags, acids or other substances shall be deposited therein. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily
or permanently closed, darkened or bricked-up, if required by law or related to any construction upon property adjacent to the
Real Property by Landlord or others, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage Tenant may sustain thereby and Tenant shall not
be entitled to any compensation therefor nor abatement of rent nor shall the same release Tenant from its obligations hereunder
nor constitute an eviction, provided, that Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts not to cause same and to complete
in an expeditious manner any work which would cause any windows of the Premises to be temporarily closed, darkened or bricked up.

5.WINDOW CLEANING.
Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the cleaning of the outside of the windows in the Premises.
Tenant hereby agrees that all contractors performing such cleaning services shall deliver a certificate of insurance to Landlord
prior to the commencement of such work, which certificate must be reasonably acceptable to Landlord and name Landlord as an additional
insured.


 


6.REQUIREMENTS OF LAW; FLOOR LOAD.


 


A.Requirements of
Law. Tenant, at Tenant's sole expense, shall promptly comply with all present and future laws, statutes, orders, directives
and regulations of federal, state, county, city and municipal authorities, departments, bureaus, boards, agencies, commissions
and other sub-divisions thereof, and of any official thereof and any other governmental and quasi-public authority and all rules,
orders, regulations or requirements of the New York Board of Fire Underwriters, or any other similar body which shall now or hereafter
impose any violation, order or duty upon Landlord or Tenant with respect to the Premises as a result of the manner of use, occupation
or alteration thereof by Tenant as opposed to the Permitted Use. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon
the Premises which is contrary to and will invalidate or be in conflict with any liability, fire or other policies of insurance
at any time carried by or for the benefit of Landlord with respect to the Building and fixtures and property therein, or which
shall or might subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility to any person or for property damage. Tenant shall not do, or
permit anything to be done in or upon the Premises, or bring or keep anything therein, except as now or hereafter permitted by
the New York City Fire Department, New York Board of Fire Underwriters, New York Fire Insurance Rating Organization or other authority
having jurisdiction and then only in such quantity and manner as not to increase the insurance rate applicable to the Building,
or use the Premises in a manner (other than the Permitted Use) which shall increase the rate of fire insurance on the Building
or on property located therein, over that in similar type buildings or in effect prior to this Lease. If by reason of Tenant's
failure to comply with the provisions of this Article, the fire insurance rate shall at the beginning of this Lease or at any time
thereafter be higher than it otherwise would be, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, for that part
of all fire insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord which shall have been charged because of such failure of use by Tenant,
and shall make such reimbursement within fifteen (15) days of demand by Landlord. In any action or proceeding wherein Landlord
and Tenant are parties, a schedule or "make up" of rates for the Building or the Premises issued by the New York Fire
Insurance Rating Organization, or other body fixing such fire insurance rates, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein
stated and of the several items and charges in the fire insurance rates then applicable to the Premises. Any work or installations
made or performed by or on behalf of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant pursuant to this Article shall be made
in conformity with, and subject to the provisions of, Article 3 hereof.


 


B.Floor Load.
Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the floor load per square foot area which such floor was
designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all safes, business
machines and heavy equipment and installations such that the same are placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, in
settings sufficient in Landlord's reasonable judgment to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance. Tenant shall not move
any safe, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures into or out of the Building without Landlord's prior
consent. If such safe, machinery, equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures requires special handling, Tenant agrees to employ
only persons holding a Master Rigger's License to do said work, and that all work in connection therewith shall comply with the
Administrative Code of the City of New York and all other laws and regulations applicable thereto, and shall be done during such
hours as Landlord may reasonably designate.

 7.SUBORDINATION.



 


A.This Lease is subject
and subordinate to each and every ground or underlying lease of the Real Property or the Building hereafter made by Landlord (collectively,
the "Superior Leases") and to each and every trust indenture and mortgage (collectively the "Mortgages") which
may now or hereafter affect the Real Property, the Building or any such Superior Lease and the leasehold interest created thereby,
and to all renewals, extensions, supplements, amendments, modifications, consolidations, and replacements thereof or thereto, substitutions
therefor and advances made thereunder (the mortgagee or beneficiary under any such Mortgages or the lessor under any such Superior
Leases are referred to herein as a "Landlord's Mortgagee"). This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument
of subordination shall be required to make the interest of any lessor under a Superior Lease, or trustee or mortgagee of a Mortgage
superior to the interest of Tenant hereunder. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant shall execute promptly any
certificate that Landlord may request. Landlord represents and warrants that the Permitted Uses under the Lease do no violate any
Superior Lease or Mortgage, and that if Tenant complies with the terms of this Lease, it shall be in compliance with the terms
of any Superior Lease and Mortgage. If, at any time Landlord's obligations as lessee under the Superior Lease require Landlord
to modify any of its obligations under, or any of the terms of, this Lease or if, in connection with the financing of the Real
Property, the Building or the interest of the lessee under any Superior Lease, any lending institution shall request reasonable
modifications of this Lease, provided such modifications do not materially increase the obligations, included Rent and Additional
Rent, or materially and adversely affect the rights of Tenant under this Lease or decrease Landlord’s obligations under the
Lease, Tenant covenants to make such modifications.


 


B.Attornment.If
at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, any Mortgage shall be foreclosed or any Superior Lease shall terminate or be terminated
for any reason, Tenant agrees, at the election and upon demand of any owner of the Real Property or the Building, or the lessor
under any such Superior Lease, or of any mortgagee in possession of the Real Property or the Building, to attorn, from time to
time, to any such owner, lessor or mortgagee, upon the then executory terms and conditions of this Lease, for the remainder of
the term originally demised in this Lease, provided that such owner, lessor or mortgagee, as the case may be, or receiver caused
to be appointed by any of the foregoing, shall not then be entitled to possession of the Premises. Upon such attornment, this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions
and covenants set forth in this Lease. The provisions of this subsection B shall inure to the benefit of any such owner, lessor
or mortgagee, shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the termination of any such Superior
Lease, and shall be self-operative upon any such demand, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions.
Tenant, however, upon demand of any such owner, lessor or mortgagee, agrees to execute, from time to time, instruments in confirmation
of the foregoing provisions of this subsection B, reasonably satisfactory to any such owner, lessor or mortgagee, and Tenant
acknowledging such attornment and setting forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy. Nothing contained in this subsection B
shall be construed to impair any right otherwise exercisable by any such owner, lessor or mortgagee.

C.Notice to Landlord's
Mortgagee. Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving
written notice in accordance with Article 27 hereof, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any landlord's mortgagee whose
address has been given to Tenant, and affording such Landlord's Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord's obligations
hereunder (it being agreed and understood that any Landlord cure periods set forth in this Lease are deemed reasonable).


 


D.Landlord's
Mortgagee's Protection Provisions. If Landlord's Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord's
Mortgagee shall not be: (1) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor (including Landlord) (except for acts or omissions
of an ongoing nature; (2) bound by any rent or Additional Rent or advance rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current
month to any prior lessor (including Landlord) (except any such payment actually delivered to such successor), and all such rent
shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment; (3) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made by Tenant
which is not delivered or paid over to Landlord's Mortgagee and with respect to which Tenant shall look solely to Landlord for

to the defenses which Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord); and (6) subject to the offsets which Tenant
might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord) except for those offset rights which (A) are expressly provided in this
Lease, (B) relate to periods of time following the acquisition of the Building by Landlord's Mortgagee, and (C) Tenant has provided
written notice to Landlord's Mortgagee and provided Landlord's Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the event giving rise
to such offset event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, such successor to Landlord shall be bound by Landlord’s
obligation to perform (x) repairs, maintenance and replacements required to be made by Landlord under this Lease, and (y) repairs
and replacements to the Premises as a result of damage by fire or other casualty or a partial condemnation pursuant to the provisions
of this Lease, but only to the extent of Landlord’s obligation under this Lease. Landlord's Mortgagee shall have no liability
or responsibility under or pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise after it ceases to own an interest in the Real Property

E. SNDA. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth herein, Landlord shall use reasonable good faith efforts to obtain a subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement (“SNDA”) from the holder, on such holder’s then customary form, of any existing lease, right,
claim, mortgage or deed of trust against or affecting the Premises promptly after the execution and delivery of this Lease. Additionally,
Landlord agrees to at any time prior to the expiration of the Term of this Lease use reasonable good faith efforts to obtain such
SNDA from any future holder of a lease, right, claim, mortgage or deed of trust against or affecting the Premises. Landlord represents
and warrants that, as of the date hereof, this Lease is not subject to any ground lease affecting the Premises and/or Building.


 


8.RULES AND REGULATIONS.
Tenant and Tenant's employees, agents, visitors and licensees shall observe faithfully, and comply strictly with, the Rules and
Regulations of the Building and such other and further reasonable Rules and Regulations as Landlord or Landlord's agents may from
time to time adopt pursuant to the terms of this Lease (collectively, the "Rules and Regulations"); provided, however,
that Landlord shall give Tenant fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any change in or addition to the Rules and Regulations
prior to the same becoming effective as against Tenant, except in the case of any emergency, in which case such change or addition
shall become immediately effective upon notice. Nothing in this Lease contained shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any
duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease, against any other
tenant and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, visitors
or licensees. Landlord shall not enforce such Rules and Regulations in a discriminatory manner. In the event of any conflict between
such Rules and Regulations and the provisions of this Lease, the Lease shall prevail.


 


9.INSURANCE.


 


A.Liability Insurance. Tenant
shall obtain at its own expense and keep in full force and effect during the Term, (1) a policy of commercial general liability
insurance (including, without limitation, insurance covering Tenant's contractual liability under this Lease) (and, if the use
and occupancy of the Premises include any activity or matter that is or may be excluded from coverage under a commercial general
liability policy, Tenant shall obtain such endorsements to the commercial general liability policy or otherwise obtain insurance
to insure all liability arising from such activity or matter in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require), under which Tenant
is named as the insured, and Landlord, Landlord's managing agent, the present and any future mortgagee of the Real Property or
the Building and/or such other designees specified by Landlord, from time to time, as additional insureds and insuring the same
against all liability for injury to or death of a person or persons or damage to property arising from the use and occupancy of
the Premises and (without implying any consent by Landlord to the installation thereof) the installation, operation, maintenance,
repair or removal of any of Tenant's equipment or other property that may be located on or about the Premises (other than inside
the Premisesand (2) worker's compensation insurance. Such policy shall contain a provision that no act or omission of Tenant shall
affect or limit the obligation of the insurance company to pay the amount of any loss sustained. Such policy shall also contain
a provision which provides the insurance company will not cancel or refuse to renew the policy, or change in any material way the
nature or extent of the coverage provided by such policy, without first giving Landlord at least thirty (30) days written notice
by certified mail, return receipt requested, which notice shall contain the policy number and the names of the insureds and policy
holder. The minimum limits of liability shall be a combined single limit with respect to each occurrence in an amount of not less
than $3,000,000.00 per occurrence or such greater amount as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably require. Tenant shall also
maintain property damage insurance in the amount of $1,000,000.00 per occurrence. Tenant shall also maintain at its own expense
during the Term a policy of workers' compensation insurance providing statutory benefits for Tenant's employees and employer's
liability. Tenant shall provide to Landlord upon execution of this Lease and at least thirty (30) days prior to the termination
of any existing policy, a certificate evidencing the effectiveness of the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder
which shall include the named insured, additional insured, carrier, policy number, limits of liability, effective date, the name
of the insurance agent and its telephone number. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a complete copy of any such policy upon written
request of Landlord. Tenant shall be permitted to obtain the insurance required hereunder pursuant to a blanket policy covering
other properties provided the blanket policy contains an endorsement that names Landlord, Landlord's managing agent and/or designees
specified by Landlord from time to time, as additional insureds, references the Premises, and guarantees a minimum limit available
for the Premises equal to the amount of insurance required to be maintained hereunder. Each policy required hereunder shall contain
a clause that the policy and the coverage evidenced thereby shall be primary with respect to any policies carried by Landlord,
and that any coverage carried by Landlord shall be excess insurance. The limits of the insurance required under this subsection
shall not limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease. All insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the terms
of this Lease shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies issued by reputable and independent insurers permitted to
do business in the State of New York, rated in Best's Insurance Guide, or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization
having a national reputation) as having a general policyholder rating of "A+:XII" or better and otherwise reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord. In the event that Tenant fails to continuously maintain insurance as required by this subsection, Landlord
may, at its option and without relieving Tenant of any obligation hereunder, order such insurance and pay for the same at the expense
of Tenant. In such event, Tenant shall repay the amount expended by Landlord, with interest thereon, immediately upon Landlord's
written demand therefor.

B."All Risk"
Insurance and Business Interruption Insurance.


 


(i) Tenant shall
also maintain at its own expense during the Term a policy against fire and other casualty on an "all risk" form covering
all Alterations, construction and other improvements installed within the Premises, hereinafter installed by Tenant, and on all
furniture, fixtures, equipment, personal property and inventory of Tenant located in the Premises and any property in the care,
custody and control of Tenant (fixed or otherwise) sufficient to provide 100% full replacement value of such items, which policy
shall otherwise comply with the provisions of subsections A and C of this Article 9.


 


(ii) Tenant shall
also maintain at its own expense during the Term business interruption or rental value insurance in an amount at least equal to
the rental value of the Premises for at least twelve (12) months (that is, the aggregate amount of all rent and other consideration

C.Waiver of Subrogation.
Landlord and Tenant each waives any claim it might have against the other for any damage to or theft, destruction, loss, or loss
of use of any property, to the extent the same is insured against under any insurance policy of the types described in this Article
9 that covers the Real Property, the Building, the Premises, Landlord's or Tenant's fixtures, personal property, leasehold improvements,
or business, or is required to be insured against under the terms hereof, regardless of whether the negligence of the other party
caused such Loss (defined below). Additionally, Tenant waives any claim it may have against Landlord for any Loss to the extent
such Loss is caused by a terrorist act. Each party shall cause its insurance carrier to endorse all applicable policies waiving
the carrier's rights of recovery under subrogation or otherwise against the other party. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Lease to the contrary, Landlord, its agents, employees and contractors shall not be liable to Tenant or to any party claiming by,
through or under Tenant for (and Tenant hereby releases Landlord and its servants, agents, contractors, employees and invitees
from any claim or responsibility for) any damage to or destruction, loss, or loss of use, or theft of any property of any Tenant
Party located in or about the Real Property, the Building or the Premises, caused by casualty, theft, fire, third parties or any
other matter or cause, regardless of whether the negligence of any party caused such loss in whole or in part. Tenant acknowledges
that Landlord shall not carry insurance on, and shall not be responsible for damage to, any property of any Tenant Party located
in or about the Real Property, the Building or the Premises.


 


D.Landlord’s
Insurance. Landlord agrees to purchase and keep in full force and effect during the Term hereof, including any extensions or
renewals thereof, insurance under policies issued by insurers of recognized responsibility, qualified to do business in the State
of New York on the Building in amounts and upon terms that a reasonably prudent owner would maintain with respect to a building
of similar size and location, against fire and such other risks as may be included in standard forms of all risk coverage insurance
reasonably available from time to time. Landlord agrees to maintain in force during the Term, commercial general liability insurance
covering the Building on an occurrence basis against all claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and property damage.


 


10.DESTRUCTION OF THE PREMISES; PROPERTY
LOSS OR DAMAGE.


 


A.Repair Estimate.
If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Landlord shall, within one hundred
twenty (120) days after such Casualty, deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate prepared by Landlord’s architect, general
contractor and/or engineer (the "Damage Notice") of the time needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.


 


B.Tenant's Rights.
If the Premises or Building is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant is prevented from conducting its business in the Premises in
a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord estimates that the damage caused
thereby cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such Casualty (the "Repair Period"),
or if in fact the damage is not actually fully repaired by Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of occurrence
of the Casualty, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within
thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant, or within thirty (30) days after the end of the one hundred
eighty (180) day period following the date of the Casualty. If this Lease is so terminated, (a) Tenant’s liability for Rent
shall cease as of the date of the damage, and (b) any prepaid Rent for any period after the date of the damage and any Security
Deposit shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.


 






    	11



    	 



    

 


C.Landlord's Rights.
If a Casualty damages the Premises or a material portion of the Building and (1) Landlord estimates that the damage to the Premises
cannot be repaired within the Repair Period, (2) the damage to the Premises exceeds 60% of the replacement cost thereof (excluding
foundations and footings), as estimated by Landlord, and such damage occurs during the last year of the Term or (3) the Premises
are damaged to the extent of at least 25% of their replacement cost by a Casualty not typically covered by an “all risk”
policy of casualty insurance, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of its election to terminate within
thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant. If this Lease is so terminated, (a) Tenant shall vacate
the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord, (b) Tenant’s liability for Rent shall cease as of the date of the damage,
and (c) any prepaid Rent for any period after the date of the damage and any Security Deposit shall be refunded by Landlord to
Tenant.


 


D.Repair Obligation.
If neither party elects to terminate this Lease following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, promptly after such Casualty, begin
to repair the Premises, or if the Building is damaged such that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the Premises, and shall
proceed with commercially reasonable diligence to restore the Premises or the Building to substantially the same condition as they
existed immediately before such Casualty; however, Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any alterations or betterments
within the Premises (which shall be promptly and with due diligence repaired and restored by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense)
or any furniture, equipment, trade fixtures or personal property of Tenant or others in the Premises or the Building. Landlord
shall keep the Building insured against damage and destruction as required under any Mortgage, and Landlord shall maintain contractual
and comprehensive general liability insurance, including public liability and property damage, as required under any Mortgage.


 


E.Abatement of Rent.
If the Premises are damaged by Casualty, rent for the portion of the Premises rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated
from the date of damage until the completion of Landlord's repairs (or until the date of termination of this Lease by Landlord
or Tenant as provided above, as the case may be), unless a Tenant Party caused such damage, in which case, Tenant shall continue
to pay rent without abatement. Tenant’s liability for rent shall resume ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord
that the Premises are substantially ready for Tenant’s occupancy.


 


F.Waiver. Tenant
hereby waives the provisions of Section 227 of the New York Real Property Law and agrees that the provisions of this Article shall
govern and control in lieu thereof.

11.CONDEMNATION.


 


A.Condemnation.If
all or substantially all of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises shall be acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public
use or purpose, this Lease and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title with the same effect as if said date were
the Expiration Date. If only a part of the Real Property shall be so acquired or condemned then, (i) except as hereinafter
provided in this subsection A, this Lease and the Term shall continue in force and effect but, if a part of the Premises is
included in the part of the Real Property so acquired or condemned, from and after the date of the vesting of title, the Rent shall
be reduced in the proportion which the area of the part of the Premises so acquired or condemned bears to the total area of the
Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation; (ii) whether or not the Premises shall be affected thereby,
Landlord, at Landlord's option, may give to Tenant, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Landlord shall have
received notice of vesting of title, a fifteen (15) days notice of termination of this Lease; and (iii) if the part of the
Real Property so acquired or condemned shall contain more than twenty percent (20%) of the total area of the Premises immediately
prior to such acquisition or condemnation, or if, by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant no longer has reasonable
means of access to the Premises, Tenant, at Tenant's option, may give to Landlord, within sixty (60) days next following the date
upon which Tenant shall have received notice of vesting of title, a fifteen (15) day notice of termination of this Lease. If any
such fifteen (15) day notice of termination is given by Landlord or Tenant, this Lease and the Term shall come to an end and expire
upon the expiration of said fifteen (15) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said fifteen (15) days were
the Expiration Date. If a part of the Premises shall be so acquired or condemned and this Lease and the Term shall not be terminated
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this subsection A, Landlord, at Landlord's expense, shall restore that part of the Premises
not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained rental unit. In the event of any termination of this Lease and the Term pursuant
to the provisions of this subsection A, the Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of sooner termination and any prepaid
portion of Rent for any period after such date shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.


 


B.Award. In
the event of any such acquisition or condemnation of all or any part of the Real Property, Landlord shall be entitled to receive
the entire award for any such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority
for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to any
such award. Nothing contained in this subsection B shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a claim in any condemnation
proceedings for the then value of any furniture, furnishings and fixtures installed by and at the sole expense of Tenant, included
in such taking and which Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease, provided that such award shall not reduce the amount of
the award otherwise payable to Landlord.

thereof or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others (whether for desk space, mailing privileges
or otherwise), or (iv) advertise, or authorize a broker to advertise the Premises for assignment or subletting, without obtaining
the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
If this Lease is assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord
may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the
Rent herein reserved, but no assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions hereof,
the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant
of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or underletting shall not in any
way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or underletting.
In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet all or any portion of its sublet space,
or otherwise suffer or permit the sublet space or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others, without Landlord's prior written
consent in each instance consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any assignment, sublease,
mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Article 12 shall be void.

company, current financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant, including, without limitation, its most
recent financial report, (iv) an agreement by Tenant to indemnify Landlord against liability resulting from any claims that

similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease (which indemnity may be included in Landlord’s
consent to such assignment or sublease) and (v) in the case of a sublease, such additional information related to the proposed
subtenant as Landlord shall reasonably request, if any.


 


C.Landlord's Recapture
Option. The notice containing all of the information set forth in Subsection B of this Article 12 above shall be deemed an
offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord (or Landlord's designee) may, at its option, terminate this Lease and recapture
the Premises, or in the event of a proposed sublease, the portion of the Premises subject to such proposed sublease. Said option
may be exercised by Landlord by notice to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after the aforesaid notice has been given
by Tenant to Landlord; and during such thirty (30) day period Tenant shall not assign this Lease nor sublet such space to any person
or entity. In the event Landlord elects to terminate the Lease and recapture the Premises, or in the event of a sublease, the portion
of the Premises subject to such proposed sublease, Tenant shall be released from any further performance by Tenant of covenants

such assignment or sublet was to be effective or commence, as the case may be, and the Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder shall
be paid and apportioned to such date and to such portion of the Premises subject to the such proposed sublease.


 


E. Intentionally Omitted.


 


F.Effect of Termination.
If required by applicable law in connection with any termination of this Lease with respect to the Premises, or the portion of
the Premises subject to a proposed sublease, Tenant shall complete, swear to and file any questionnaires, tax returns, affidavits
or other documentation, which may be required to be filed with the appropriate governmental agency in connection with any other
tax which may now or hereafter be in effect. Tenant further agrees to pay any amounts, which may be assessed in connection with
any of such taxes, and to indemnify Landlord against and to hold Landlord harmless from any actual claims for payment of such taxes
as a result of such transactions.

the payment of such Tenant Costs, or other proof of payment as Landlord shall reasonably require.


 


(iii) The sums payable
under this subsection J of this Article 12 shall be paid to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of Tenant’s receipt
of such payment by the subtenant.

K.Other Transfers.(i)If
Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability entity other than a corporation whose stock is listed and traded on a
nationally recognized stock exchange (hereinafter referred to as a "public corporation"), the provisions of subsection A
of this Article 12 shall apply to a transfer (by one or more transfers) of a majority of the stock, partnership interests
or membership interests of Tenant as if such transfer of a majority of the stock, partnership interests or membership interests
of Tenant were an assignment of this Lease; but said provisions shall not apply to transactions with a corporation, partnership
or limited liability entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of Tenant's assets
are transferred, provided that such merger, consolidation or transfer of assets is for a valid business purpose and not principally
for the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby, and provided further, that in any of such events (a) the
successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the
greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, or (2) the net worth
of Tenant herein named on the date of this Lease and (b) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have been delivered
to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction. For purposes of this Subsection K, Landlord
hereby agrees that satisfactory proof of net worth may include, without limitation, publicly filed financial statements of a proposed
successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, a transfer of a majority of the stock, partnerships interests or membership
interests of Tenant, or any permitted sublessee or assignee of this Lease shall not be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease
or such sublease unless such transfer has no valid business purpose and is only being made to circumvent the provisions of this
Article 9, in which event such transfer shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease or such sublease.


 


(ii)If Tenant is
a subdivision, authority, body, agency, instrumentality or other entity created and/or controlled pursuant to the laws of the State
of New York or any city, town or village of such state or of federal government ("Governmental Entity"), the provisions
of subsection A of this Article 12 shall apply to a transfer (by one or more transfers) of any of Tenant's rights to
use and occupy the Premises, to any other Governmental Entity, as if such transfer of the right of use and occupancy were an assignment
of this Lease; but said provisions shall not apply to a transfer of any of Tenant's rights in and to the Premises to any Governmental
Entity which shall replace or succeed to substantially similar public functions, responsibilities and areas of authority as Tenant,
provided that in any of such events the successor Governmental Entity (a) shall utilize the Premises in a manner substantially
similar to Tenant, and (b) shall not utilize the Premises in any manner which, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, would impair
the reputation of the Building as a first-class office building.


 


L.Related Corporation.
Tenant may, without Landlord's consent, but upon written notice to Landlord, permit any corporations or other business entities
(but not including Governmental Entities) which control, are controlled by, or are under common control with Tenant (herein referred
to as "related corporation") to sublet all or part of the Premises for any of the purposes permitted to Tenant, subject
however to compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Such subletting shall not be deemed to vest in any such related
corporation any right or interest in this Lease or the Premises nor shall it relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Tenant's
obligations hereunder. For the purposes hereof, "control" shall be deemed to mean ownership of not less than fifty-one
percent (51%) of all of the voting stock of such corporation or not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of all of the legal and equitable
interest in any other business entities. The recapture rights of Landlord set forth in this Article 9 and the profit-share rights
of Landlord set forth in this Article 9 hereof shall not be applicable with respect to any assignment or sublease effected pursuant
to the terms of this subsection.


 






    	19



    	 



    




 


M.Assumption by
Assignee. Any assignment or transfer (except in the event Landlord terminates the Lease with respect to the Premises, or a
portion of the Premises, as applicable, and recaptures the Premises or a portion of the Premises), whether made with Landlord's
consent pursuant to subsection A of this Article 12 or without Landlord's consent pursuant to subsection K of this
Article 12, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee shall assume the obligations of this
Lease and agree to be bound by all of the terms, conditions, covenants and provisions hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed
or observed and whereby the assignee shall agree that the provisions in subsection A of this Article 12 shall, notwithstanding
such assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers. The original named
Tenant covenants that, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease,
and notwithstanding the acceptance of Rent and/or Additional Rent by Landlord from an assignee, transferee or any other party,
the original named Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the Rent and Additional Rent and for the other obligations
of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed.


 


N.Liability of Tenant.
The joint and several liability of Tenant and any immediate or remote successor in interest of Tenant and the due performance of
the obligations of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed or observed shall not be discharged, released or impaired in any
respect by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord extending the time, or modifying any of the obligations, of this Lease,
or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce any of the obligations of this Lease.


 


O.Listings.
The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the Premises or the Building directory, or otherwise,
shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord
to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others. Any
such listing (of any name other than Tenant) shall constitute a privilege extended by Landlord, revocable at Landlord's will by
notice to Tenant.


 


P.Desk Licensing.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice to Landlord and provided
that Tenant is not then in default hereunder beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant (including
its permitted assignees and sublessees) may license up to five (5) desks in the aggregate at any one time to an entity that complies
with the Permitted Uses without Landlord’s consent and without being subject to the recapture and termination rights of Landlord
set forth in this Article 9 or the profit-share rights of Landlord set forth in this Article 9, provided that (i) such party shall
not then be a tenant or occupant of any portion of the Building; (ii) Tenant’s notice shall set forth the names of such party
or parties; (iii) any such licensing agreement (whether or not in writing) shall be subject and subordinate to the terms of this
Lease; (iv) such arrangement will terminate automatically upon a default by Tenant occurring and continuing beyond the expiration
of any applicable notice and cure period under this Lease; (v) any such party shall use the Premises in conformity with all applicable
provisions of this Lease; (vi) in no event shall the use of any portion of the Premises by any such party create or be deemed to
create any right, title or interest in or to the Premises for such party; (vii) the portion(s) of the Premises occupied by any
such party(ies) and the portion of the Premises occupied by Tenant shall not be, and shall not be required by law to be, separated
by demising walls so as to create separate entrances from the elevator landing or public corridors; (viii) there shall be no separate
identification of any such party in the elevator landing or on the entrance door to the Premises or elsewhere in the Building other
than within the Premises; (ix) the named Tenant herein or its Assignee shall then be the tenant under this Lease and shall occupy
the Premises simultaneously with such licensees for the conduct of its business; (x) no such licensing shall be deemed to release
Tenant from any of its obligations and liabilities hereunder or to release any guarantor from any of its obligations or liabilities
under any guaranty given with respect to this Lease; (xi) Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, prior to such party’s occupancy
of any portion of the Premises, proof reasonably acceptable to Landlord that such party is then an entity who furnish services
to Tenant; and (xii) Tenant shall receive no rent, payment or other consideration in connection with such occupancy in excess of
the pro rata portion of the Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant hereunder with respect to such space.

13.CONDITION OF THE PREMISES.
Tenant has examined the Premises and agrees to accept possession of the Premises in the condition and state of repair which shall
exist on the date hereof "as is", and further agrees that Landlord shall have no other obligation to perform any work
or make any installations in order to prepare the Premises for Tenant's occupancy, except for Landlord’s Work. The taking
of possession of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence as against Tenant that, at the time such possession was so
taken, the Premises and the Building were in good and satisfactory condition, subject only to the completion of “punch list”
items of which Tenant has notified Landlord. In addition to the foregoing, as of the Commencement Date, the equipment and systems
in or servicing the Premises (including the plumbing, restroom fixtures, electrical, fire and life safety and HVAC systems) shall
be in good working order and condition and in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations.


 


14.ACCESS TO PREMISES.


 


A.Access by Landlord.Tenant
shall permit Landlord, Landlord's agents and public utilities servicing the Building to erect, use, maintain and replace, concealed
ducts, pipes and conduits in and through the Premises provided the same are in or adjacent to the ceiling, floor, walls or columns
and do not reduce the size or useability of any portion of the Premises by more than a de minimis amount. Landlord shall conceal
all such ducts, pipes and conduits (except as otherwise agreed to by the Landlord and Tenant). Landlord shall, at its cost, promptly
repair any damage to the Premises caused by any work performed pursuant to this Article 14. Landlord, Landlord's agents and/or
affiliates, and the holder of any Mortgage shall each have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times and on reasonable
notice (for non-emergency entries) and provided Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to minimize inconvenience to Tenant
(i) examine the same, (ii) to show them to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or lessees of the Building, (iii) to make such repairs,
replacements or improvements as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary to the Premises or to any other portion of the Building
or which Landlord may elect to perform following Tenant's failure to make repairs or perform any work which Tenant is obligated
to perform under this Lease, (iv) for the purpose of complying with laws, regulations or other requirements of government authorities
and (v) to perform “Remedial Work” (as defined in Article 40 hereof) after the failure of Tenant to perform the same
in accordance with the terms of this Lease. Provided that Landlord does not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use
and occupancy of the Premises, Landlord shall be allowed, during the progress of any work in and about the Premises, to take all
necessary material and equipment into and upon the Premises and to store them within the Premises without the same constituting
an eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and the Rent shall in nowise abate while any repairs, replacements
or improvements are being made, by reason of loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise. Landlord shall promptly
restore any damage to the Premises (including finishes) resulting from such access. During the six (6) month period prior to the
Expiration Date or the expiration of any renewal or extended term, Landlord may exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants thereof
following reasonable notice to Tenant. If Tenant shall not be personally present to open and permit an entry into the Premises,
at any time, when for any reason an entry therein shall be necessary or permissible, Landlord or Landlord's agents may enter the
same by a master key, or may forcibly enter the same (in the case of an emergency), provided that Landlord, in both cases exercises
reasonable care to protect Tenant’s property, without rendering Landlord or such agents liable therefor (if during such entry
Landlord or Landlord's agents shall accord reasonable care to Tenant's property), and without in any manner affecting the obligations
and covenants of this Lease. Nothing herein contained, however, shall be deemed or construed to impose upon Landlord any obligation,
responsibility or liability whatsoever, for the care, supervision or repair of the Building or any part thereof, other than as
herein provided.


 






    	21



    	 



    




 


B.Other Landlord Privileges.Landlord
shall have the right at any time, without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability
to Tenant therefor, to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators,
stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Building and to change the name, number or designation by which the Building is commonly
known, provided that Tenant shall, at all times, have reasonable access to use the Premises and there is no decrease in the services
to which Tenant is entitled pursuant to this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may perform repairs, improvements, alterations
and/or substantial renovation work in and to the public parts of the Building and the mechanical and other systems serving the
Building (which work may include improvements to the lobby and facade of the Building, which may require that scaffolding and/or
a sidewalk bridge be placed in front of the Building, and the replacement of window glass, requiring access to the same from within
the Premises), provided same does not materially and adversely affect Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises. Landlord
shall incur no liability to Tenant, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement of Rent on account of any noise, vibration or
other commercially reasonable disturbance to Tenant's business at the Premises (provided that Tenant is not denied access thereto
or prevented from the ability to conduct its business in the ordinary course) which shall arise out of the performance by Landlord
or other tenants of the aforesaid repairs, alterations, additions, improvements, alterations and renovations of the Building or
any part thereof and Tenant hereby agrees to release Landlord of and from any claims (including without limitation, claims arising
by reason of loss or interruption of business) of every kind and nature whatsoever arising under or in connection therewith. Tenant
understands and agrees that all parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Premises) of all walls, windows and doors bounding
the Premises (including exterior Building walls, core corridor walls, doors and entrances), all balconies, terraces and roofs adjacent
to the Premises, all space in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, chutes, pipes, conduits, ducts, fan
rooms, heating, air cooling, plumbing and other mechanical facilities, service closets and other Building facilities are not part
of the Premises, and Landlord shall have the use thereof, as well as access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of operation,
maintenance, alteration and repair. Landlord, throughout the Term, shall have free access to any and all mechanical installations
of Landlord, including but not limited to air-cooling, fan, ventilating, machine rooms and electrical closets, provided that if
such mechanical installations are located in the Premises, Landlord shall access same upon reasonable notice and at reasonable
times.


 


15. CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.
Landlord makes no representation or warranty that the Permitted Uses complies with the certificate of occupancy for the Building.


 


16.LANDLORD'S LIABILITY.
The obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not be binding upon Landlord named herein after the sale, conveyance, assignment
or transfer by such Landlord (or upon any subsequent landlord after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by such subsequent
landlord) of its interest in the Building or the Real Property, as the case may be, and in the event of any such sale, conveyance,
assignment or transfer, Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord
hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed without further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest,
or between the parties and the purchaser, grantee, assignee or other transferee that such purchaser, grantee, assignee or other
transferee has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder. Neither the shareholders,
members, directors nor officers of Landlord, if Landlord is a corporation, nor the partners comprising Landlord (nor any of the
shareholders, members, directors or officers of such partners), if Landlord is a partnership (collectively, the "Parties"),
shall be liable for the performance of Landlord's obligations under this Lease. Tenant shall look solely to Landlord to enforce
Landlord's obligations hereunder and shall not seek any damages against any of the Parties. The liability of Landlord for Landlord's
obligations under this Lease shall not exceed and shall be limited to Tenant's actual direct, but not consequential, damages therefor
and shall only be recoverable from Landlord's interest in the Building and the Real Property and Tenant shall not look to or attach
any other property or assets of Landlord or the property or assets of any of the Parties in seeking either to enforce Landlord's
obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord's failure to perform such obligations. In no event shall Landlord
(or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint ventures, members, stockholders or other principals
or representatives and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever be liable for incidental or consequential damages.

17.DEFAULT.


 


A.Events of Default;
Conditions of Limitation. This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitations that upon the occurrence,
at any time prior to or during the Term, of any one or more of the following events (referred to as "Events of Default"):


 


(i)if Tenant shall default
in the payment when due of any installment of Rent or in the payment when due of any Additional Rent, and such default shall continue
for a period of ten (10) days following written notice from Landlord to Tenant; or


 


(ii)if Tenant shall default
in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed
(other than the covenants for the payment of Rent and Additional Rent) and Tenant shall fail to remedy such default within thirty
(30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or if such default is of such a nature that it cannot be completely
remedied within said period of thirty (30) days and Tenant shall not commence within said period of thirty (30) days, or shall
not thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy such default; or


 


(iii)if the Premises
shall become vacant, deserted or abandoned and Tenant shall fail to pay Rent and/or Additional Rent; or


 


(iv)if Tenant's interest
in this Lease is transferred to any person, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except as may be expressly permitted under
Article 12 hereof; or


 


(v)if this Lease shall
be rejected under Section 235 of Title 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code;


 


(vi)if any execution
or attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any of Tenant's property pursuant to which the Premises shall be taken or occupied
or attempted to be taken or occupied and same is not released within sixty (60) days from the date in which Tenant receives actual
notice thereof;


 


(vii)Tenant fails to
provide any tenant's certificate after Landlord's written request therefor pursuant to Article 39 and such failure shall continue
for ten (10) days after Landlord's written notice thereof to Tenant;


 






    	23



    	 



    




 


(viii)Tenant fails to
procure, maintain and deliver to Landlord evidence of the insurance policies and coverages as required under Article 9 and such
failure shall continue for ten (10) days after Landlord’s written notice thereof; or


 


(ix)Tenant fails to pay
and release of record, or diligently contest and bond around, any mechanic's lien filed against the Premises or the Real Property
for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligation incurred by or at the request of Tenant, within the time and in the
manner required by subsection E of Article 3;


 


then, in any of said cases,
at any time prior to or during the Term, of any one or more of such Events of Default, Landlord, at any time thereafter, at Landlord's
option, may give to Tenant a ten (10) day notice of termination of this Lease and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease
and the Term shall come to an end and expire (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) upon the expiration of said ten (10)
days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said ten (10) days were the Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain
liable for damages as provided in Article 18 hereof.


 


B.Effect of Bankruptcy.
Anything elsewhere in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, this Lease may be canceled by Landlord by sending of a written
notice to Tenant within a reasonable time after the happening of any one or more of the following events: (i) the commencement
of a case in bankruptcy or under the laws of any state naming Tenant as the debtor; or (ii) the making by Tenant of any assignment
or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors under any state statute. Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or
under Tenant, or by reason of any statute or order of court, shall thereafter be entitled to possession of the Premises but shall
forthwith quit and surrender the Premises. If this Lease shall have been assigned in accordance with its terms, the provisions
of this Article 17 shall be applicable to any of the persons or entities primarily or secondarily liable for Tenant's obligations
under this Lease. It is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of this Lease pursuant to this subsection, Landlord
shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as and
for liquidated damages an amount determined in accordance with Subsection B(i)(c) of Article 18 of this Lease. In the computation
of such damages the difference between any installment of rent becoming due hereunder after the date of termination and the fair
and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the period for which such installment was payable shall be discounted to the date
of termination at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum. If the Premises or any part thereof be relet by Landlord for the unexpired
term of said lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal,
the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the
whole of the Premises so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right
of the Landlord to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed
by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved,
whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred to above.






    	24



    	 



    

 


 


C.Conditional Limitation.
Nothing contained in this Article 17 shall be deemed to require Landlord to give the notices herein provided for prior to the commencement
of a summary proceeding for non-payment of rent or a plenary action for recovery of rent on account of any default in the payment
of the same, it being intended that such notices are for the sole purpose of creating a conditional limitation hereunder pursuant
to which this Lease shall terminate and if Tenant thereafter remains in possession after such termination, Tenant shall do so as
a holdover tenant.


 


18.REMEDIES AND DAMAGES.


 


A.Landlord's Remedies.(i)If
an Event of Default occurs, or if this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 17:


 


(a)Landlord and its
agents and servants may immediately, or at any time thereafter or after the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall expire
and come to an end, re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, either by summary proceedings, or by any other applicable action
or proceeding, (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), and may repossess the Premises and dispossess
Tenant and any other persons from the Premises and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises; and


 


(b)Landlord, at Landlord's
option, may relet the whole or any part or parts of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise,
to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such rental or rentals and
upon such other conditions, which may include concessions and free rent periods, as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine.
Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure
to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due
upon any such reletting, and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise
to affect any such liability; Landlord, at Landlord's option, may make such repairs, replacements, alterations, additions, improvements,
decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary
in connection with any such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise
affecting any such liability.


 


(ii)Tenant, on its own
behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does hereby waive any and all rights
which Tenant and all such persons might otherwise have under any present or future law to redeem the Premises, or to re-enter or
repossess the Premises, or to restore the operation of this Lease, after (a) Tenant shall have been dispossessed by a judgment
or by warrant of any court or judge, or (b) any re-entry by Landlord, or (c) any expiration or termination of this Lease
and the Term, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination shall be by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions
of this Lease. The words "re-enter", "re-entry" and "re-entered" as used in this Lease shall not
be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any persons
claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed or performed,
Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and the right to invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as if
re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for such breach. The right to invoke the
remedies hereinbefore set forth is cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or
in equity.


 






    	25



    	 



    




 


B.Damages.(i)If
this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 17, or by or under any summary proceeding or
any other action or proceeding, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in subsection A of this Article 18,
or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, then, in any of said events:


 


(a)Tenant shall pay
to Landlord all Rent, Additional Rent, Landlord's mortgagee's fees and charges, and other charges payable under this Lease by Tenant
to Landlord to the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall have expired and come to an end or to the date of re-entry upon
the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be;


 


(b)Tenant also shall
be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as damages, any deficiency (referred to as "Deficiency") between the Rent reserved
in this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term and the net amount, if any,
of rents collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of subsection A(i) of this Article 18 for
any part of such period (first deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting all of Landlord's expenses in connection
with the termination of this Lease, or Landlord's reentry upon the Premises and with such reletting including, but not limited
to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, advertising, legal expenses, attorneys' fees and disbursements, alteration costs
and other expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting); any such Deficiency shall be paid in monthly installments by
Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Rent, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant
each monthly Deficiency as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month shall prejudice
Landlord's right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding; and


 


(c)whether or not Landlord
shall have collected any monthly Deficiencies as aforesaid, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiencies as and for liquidated and agreed final damages, a sum equal to
the amount by which the Rent reserved in this Lease for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion
of the Term exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, less the aggregate amount of
Deficiencies theretofore collected by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of subsection B(1)(b) of this Article 18 for
the same period; if, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the Premises,
or any part thereof, shall have been relet by Landlord for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion
of the Term, or any part thereof, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed, prima facie, to be the fair
and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting.


 






    	26



    	 



    

  


(ii)If the Premises or
any part thereof, shall be relet together with other space in the Building, the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting
and the expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this subsection B. Tenant shall
in no event be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not such rents shall exceed the Rent
reserved in this Lease. Solely for the purposes of this Article, the term "Rent" as used in subsection B(i) of this
Article 18 shall mean the Rent in effect immediately prior to the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall have expired
and come to an end, or the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, adjusted to reflect any increase
or decrease pursuant to the provisions of Article 28 hereof for the Comparison Year (as defined in said Article 28) immediately
preceding such event. Nothing contained in Article 17 or this Article 18 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery
by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any statute or rule of law, or of any sums or
damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in subsection B(i) of this Article 18.


 


C.Legal Fees.In
the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit for the possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due
under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provision of this Lease or for any other relief against the other, then all out-of-pocket
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other
party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such
action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment. Landlord’s and Tenant's obligations
under this subsection C shall survive the expiration of the Term hereof or any earlier termination of this Lease. This provision
is intended to supplement (and not to limit) other provisions of this Lease pertaining to indemnities and/or attorneys' fees.


 


 


D.Additional Landlord
Remedies.


 


(i)Mention in this
Lease of any particular remedy, shall not preclude Landlord from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly
waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws.


 


(ii)Tenant hereby
acknowledges and agrees that in the event this Lease and the Term hereof shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article
17, or if Tenant shall vacate the Premises prior to the Expiration Date, Tenant shall be liable for an amount equal to the sum
of the unamortized portion of the Abatement (amortized on a straight-line basis over the Term of this Lease), which sum shall be
promptly due and payable by Tenant on demand by Landlord and deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder.


 


19.FEES AND EXPENSES.


 


A.Curing Tenant's
Defaults. If Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term or covenant on Tenant's part to be observed
or performed under or by virtue of any of the terms or provisions in any Article of this Lease, after the giving of notice (if
required) and upon the expiration of any applicable grace period (except in an emergency), Landlord may immediately or at any time
thereafter following notice perform the same for the account of Tenant. If Landlord makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations
for the payment of money in connection with any such default by Tenant or the cure thereof including, but not limited to, any actual
damages or fines or any reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding,
such sums paid or obligations actually incurred with interest thereon at the Interest Rate and costs shall be deemed to be Additional
Rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days of rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefor.
If the Term hereof shall have expired at the time Landlord sustains or incurs such expenditures, such sums shall be recoverable
by Landlord, as damages.

B.Late Charges.
If Tenant shall fail to make payment of any installment of Rent or any Additional Rent within ten (10) days after the date when
such payment is due (or such other time period as expressly set forth in this Lease), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition
to such installment of Rent or such Additional Rent, as the case may be, as a late charge and as Additional Rent, a sum equal to
five (5%) percent of the amount unpaid.


 


20.NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD.
Landlord or Landlord's agents have made no representations or promises with respect to the Building, the Real Property, the Premises,
Taxes (as defined in Article 28 hereof) or any other matter or thing affecting or related to the Premises, except as herein
expressly set forth and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly
set forth herein.


 


21.END OF TERM.


 


A.Surrender of Premises. Upon
the expiration or other termination of the Term, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, broom clean, in good
order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms of this Lease excepted,
and in accordance with Article 3 hereof. Tenant's obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration
or sooner termination of the Term. If the last day of the Term or any renewal thereof falls on Saturday or Sunday, this Lease shall
expire on the business day immediately preceding.


 


B.Holdover by Tenant.
The parties recognize and agree that the damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession
of the Premises as aforesaid will be substantial, will exceed the amount of the monthly installments of the rent theretofore payable
hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure. Tenant therefore agrees that if possession of the Premises is not surrendered
to Landlord within twenty-four (24) hours after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term, in addition to any other
rights or remedy Landlord may have hereunder or at law, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month and for each portion of any
month during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, a sum equal
to one and one-half (1.5) times the aggregate of that portion of the Rent and 100% of the Additional Rent which was payable under
this Lease during the last month of the Term. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of
the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant
after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid
by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article 21, which provisions shall survive the Expiration Date or sooner
termination of this Lease. If Tenant shall hold-over or remain in possession of any portion of the Premises beyond the Expiration
Date, notwithstanding the acceptance of any Rent and Additional Rent paid by Tenant pursuant to the preceding provisions, Tenant
shall be subject not only to summary proceeding and all damages related thereto. Additionally, if Tenant shall hold-over or remain
in possession of any portion of the Premises following the date which is thirty (30) days following the Expiration Date, Tenant
shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable attorneys'
fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to
surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom. All damages to Landlord by reason of such holding over by Tenant
may be the subject of a separate action and need not be asserted by Landlord in any summary proceedings against Tenant.


 






    	28



    	 



    




 


22.QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord
covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the Rent and Additional Rent and upon, in all material respects, observing
and performing all the terms, covenants and conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and
quietly enjoy the Premises, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease including, but not limited to, Article 16
hereof and to all Superior Leases and Mortgages and any SNDA.


 


23.FAILURE TO GIVE POSSESSION.
Tenant waives any right to rescind this Lease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or any successor statute of
similar import then in force and further waives the right to recover any damages which may result from Landlord's failure to deliver
possession of the Premises on the date set forth in Article 1 hereof for the commencement of the Term for any reason whatsoever,
including, but not limited to, the failure of the present tenant of the Premises to vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord.
If Landlord shall be unable to give possession of the Premises on such date, and provided Tenant is not responsible for such inability
to give possession, the Rent reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence until the possession of the Premises
is given or the Premises are available for occupancy by Tenant (i.e., Landlord’s Work is substantially completed), and no
such failure to give possession on such date shall in any way affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder
or give rise to any claim for damages by Tenant or claim for rescission of this Lease, nor shall same be construed in anyway to
extend the Term. If permission is given to Tenant to enter into the possession of the Premises or to occupy premises other than
the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant covenants and agrees that such occupancy shall be deemed to be under all the
terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Lease, including the covenant to pay rent.


 


24.NO WAIVER. The failure
of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this
Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future performance of
such obligations of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, or of the right to exercise such election but the same shall continue
and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent
payable pursuant to this Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed
a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Rent herein stipulated
shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, or as Landlord may elect to apply such payment,
nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord
and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance
of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.


 






    	29



    	 



    

  


25.WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.
It is mutually agreed by and between Landlord and Tenant that the respective parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial
by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever
arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the
Premises, any claim of injury or damage, or for the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise. It is
further mutually agreed that in the event Landlord commences any summary proceeding (whether for nonpayment of rent or because
Tenant continues in possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of the Term), Tenant will not interpose any
counterclaim (except for mandatory or compulsory counterclaims) of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding.


 


26.INABILITY TO PERFORM.
This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and Additional Rent hereunder and perform all of the other covenants and agreements
hereunder on the part of Tenant to be performed shall in nowise be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to
fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease expressly or impliedly to be performed by Landlord or because Landlord is unable
to make, or is delayed in making any repairs, additions, alterations, improvements or decorations or is unable to supply or is
delayed in supplying any equipment or fixtures if Landlord is prevented or delayed from so doing by reason of strikes or labor
troubles or by accident or by any cause whatsoever reasonably beyond Landlord's control, including but not limited to, laws, governmental
preemption in connection with a National Emergency or by reason of any rule, order or regulation of any federal, state, county
or municipal authority or any department or subdivision thereof or any government agency or by reason of the conditions of supply
and demand which have been or are affected by war or other emergency.


 


27.NOTICES. All notices and
other communications given pursuant to this Lease, except for notices sent in connection with the commencement of any legal proceeding
arising under this Lease, shall be in writing and shall be (A) mailed by first class, United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified,

28.ESCALATIONS.


 


A.Defined Terms.
In a determination of any increase in the Rent under the provisions of this Article 28, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:


 


(i) "Taxes"
shall mean the aggregate amount of real estate taxes and any special or other assessments (exclusive of penalties and interest
thereon) imposed upon the Real Property and real estate taxes or assessments imposed in connection with the receipt of income or
rents from the Building to the extent that same shall be in lieu of all or a portion of the aforesaid taxes or assessments, or
additions or increases thereof (including, without limitation, (i) assessments made upon or with respect to any "air rights",
(ii) assessments made in connection with any business improvement district and (iii) any assessments levied after the date of this
Lease for public benefits to the Real Property or the Building (excluding an amount equal to the assessments payable in whole or
in part during or for the Base Tax Year (as defined in Article 1 of this Lease)) which assessments, if payable in installments,
shall be deemed payable in the maximum number of permissible installments and there shall be included in real estate taxes for
each Comparison Year in which such installments may be paid, the installments of such assessment so becoming payable during such
Comparison Year (in the manner in which such taxes and assessments are imposed as of the date hereof); provided, that if because
of any change in the taxation of real estate, any other tax or assessment (including, without limitation, any occupancy, gross
receipts, rental, income, franchise, transit or other tax) is imposed upon Landlord or the owner of the Real Property or the Building,
or the occupancy, rents or income therefrom, in substitution for or in addition to, any of the foregoing Taxes, such other tax
or assessment shall be deemed part of the Taxes. With respect to any Comparison Year (hereinafter defined) all expenses, including
attorneys' fees and disbursements, experts' and other witnesses' fees, incurred in contesting the validity or amount of any Taxes
or in obtaining a refund of Taxes shall be considered as part of the Taxes for such year. Taxes shall specifically exclude interest
and penalties resulting from Landlord's failure to timely pay Taxes, general income tax, capital stock tax, gross tax receipts,
corporate franchise tax, estate or inheritance tax, sales or excise tax, and mortgage and transfer tax. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in the foregoing definition, the Tenant shall benefit from any abatement, exemption and/or deferral in
the proportion Tenant has contributed funds to obtain such abatement, exemption and/or deferral. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, Taxes shall not include (x) except as may be expressly permitted above, any succession, gains, recording, income,
rent franchise, transfer, inheritance, capital levy, excise, excess profits, margin, business, corporation, gross receipts, gift,
estate, foreign ownership or control, mortgage recording, mortgage lien, payroll or stamp tax or fee of Landlord, (y) except as
may be permitted above, any other tax, assessment or charge imposed on the rent payable under this Lease, or (z) any penalties,
interest or late charges imposed against Landlord with respect to Taxes.


 






    	31



    	 



    

 


 


(ii) "Assessed Valuation"
shall mean the amount for which the Real Property is assessed pursuant to applicable provisions of the New York City Charter and
of the Administrative Code of the City of New York for the purpose of imposition of Taxes.


 


(iii) "Tax Year"
shall mean the period July 1 through June 30 (or such other period as hereinafter may be duly adopted by the City of New York as
its fiscal year for real estate tax purposes).


 


(iv) "Base Taxes"
shall mean the Taxes payable for the Base Tax Year.


 


(v) "Comparison
Year" shall mean with respect to Taxes, any Tax Year subsequent to the Base Tax Year for any part or all of which there is
an increase in the Rent pursuant to subsection B of this Article 28.


 


(vi) "Landlord's
Statement" shall mean an instrument or instruments containing a comparison of any increase or decrease in the Additional Rent
for the preceding Comparison Year pursuant to the provisions of this Article 28.


 


B.Escalation.
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent for each Tax Year during the term of this Lease an amount equal to Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of the amount by which the Taxes in each such Tax Year exceed the Base Tax (“Tenant’s Tax Payment”).
Landlord shall make reasonable estimates of Tenant’s Tax Payment with respect to any current or forthcoming Tax Year and
Tenant shall be required to pay such estimated amounts based upon delivery of an “Estimated Tax Statement”.


 


C.Payment of Escalations.
(i) At any time prior to, during or after any Comparison Year Landlord shall render to Tenant, either in accordance with the provisions
of Article 27 hereof, a Landlord's Statement or Statements showing separately or together (a) a comparison of the Taxes payable
for the Comparison Year with the Base Taxes, and (b) the amount of the increase in the Rent resulting from such comparison. Landlord's
failure to render a Landlord's Statement and/or receive payments with respect thereto during or with respect to any Comparison
Year shall not prejudice Landlord's right to render a Landlord's Statement and/or receive payments with respect thereto during
or with respect to any subsequent Comparison Year, and shall not eliminate or reduce Tenant's obligation to pay increases in the
Additional Rent pursuant to this Article 28 for such Comparison Year. Landlord may also at any time and from time to time, furnish
to Tenant a revised Landlord's Statement or Statements showing a comparison of the Taxes payable for the Comparison Year with the
Base Taxes.


 






    	32



    	 



    

  


 (ii) With respect to an increase
in the Additional Rent resulting from an increase in the Taxes for any Comparison Year above the Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Share with respect to Taxes so that such payments correspond to Landlord’s payment of Taxes
(either to the appropriate taxing authorities or as tax escrow payments to a mortgagee) in full or in semi-annual installments,
and Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be due at least thirty (30) days prior to the date payments are due to the taxing authorities
or the superior mortgagee.


 


(iii) Following each Landlord's Statement,
a reconciliation shall be made as follows: Tenant shall be debited with any increase in the Additional Rent shown on such Landlord's
Statement and credited with the aggregate, if any, paid by Tenant on account in accordance with the provisions of subsection C(ii)
for the Comparison Year in question; Tenant shall pay any net debit balance to Landlord within thirty (30) days next following
rendition by Landlord, either in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 hereof, of an invoice for such net debit balance;
any net credit balance shall be applied against the next accruing monthly installment of Additional Rent.


 


D.Adjustments.(i)
(a) In the event that, after a Landlord's Statement has been sent to Tenant, an Assessed Valuation which had been utilized in computing
the Taxes for a Comparison Year is reduced (as a result of settlement, final determination of legal proceedings or otherwise),
and as a result thereof a refund of Taxes is actually received by or on behalf of Landlord, then, promptly after receipt of such
refund, Landlord shall send Tenant a statement adjusting the Taxes for such Comparison Year (taking into account the expenses mentioned
in the last sentence of subsection A(i) of this Article 28) and setting forth Tenant's Proportionate Share of such refund and Tenant
shall be entitled to receive Tenant's Proportionate Share by way of a credit against the Additional Rent next becoming due after
the sending of such Landlord's Statement; provided, however, that Tenant's Proportionate Share of such refund shall be limited
to the amount, if any, which Tenant had theretofore paid to Landlord as increased Additional Rent for such Comparison Year on the
basis of the Assessed Valuation before it had been reduced.


 


(b) In the event that,
after a Landlord's Statement has been sent to Tenant, the Assessed Valuation which had been utilized in computing the Base Taxes
is reduced (as a result of settlement, final determination of legal proceedings or otherwise) then, and in such event: (1) the
Base Taxes shall be retroactively adjusted to reflect such reduction, (2) the monthly installment of Additional Rent shall be increased
accordingly and (3) all retroactive Additional Rent resulting from such retroactive adjustment shall be payable promplty when billed
by Landlord. Landlord promptly shall send to Tenant a statement setting forth the basis for such retroactive adjustment and Additional
Rent payments.


 






    	33



    	 



    




 


(ii) Any Landlord's Statement
sent to Tenant shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless, within ninety (90) days after such statement is sent, Tenant shall
(a) pay to Landlord the amount set forth in such statement, without prejudice to Tenant's right to dispute the same, and (b) send
a written notice to Landlord objecting to such statement and specifying the particular respects in which such statement is claimed
to be incorrect. Tenant shall have the right to receive a copy of any tax bill or statement from the applicable taxing authority
upon which the disputed Landlord’s Statement is based within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor.


 


(iii) Anything in this
Article 28 to the contrary notwithstanding, under no circumstances shall the rent payable under this Lease be less than the then
annual base Rent set forth in Article 1 hereof.


 


(iv) The expiration or
termination of this Lease during any Comparison Year for any part or all of which there is an increase or decrease in the Rent
under this Article shall not affect the rights or obligations of the parties hereto respecting such increase or decrease and any
Landlord's Statement relating to such increase or decrease may, on a pro rata basis, be sent to Tenant subsequent to, and all such
rights and obligations shall survive, any such expiration or termination. Any payments due under such Landlord's Statement shall
be payable within twenty (20) days after such statement is sent to Tenant.


 


E.Expense Escalation. Commencing
on the first anniversary of the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant agree that Tenant shall pay to Landlord a three (3%) percent
fixed Rent increase, compounded annually, as more fully set forth on Exhibit "D". Such escalation amounts shall
be payable in accordance with the terms hereof, in lieu of any operating expense or porters wage escalation. Such expense escalation
under this subsection E is intended to constitute an agreed rental escalation and the computation thereof may or may not constitute
an actual reimbursement to Landlord for expenses in the nature of costs paid by or incurred by Landlord with respect to the Building.


 


29.SERVICES.


 


A.Elevator. Landlord shall provide
passenger elevator facilities on Business Days from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and shall have at least one passenger elevator in the
bank of elevators servicing the Premises available at all other times. Landlord shall provide freight elevator services on an "as
available" basis for incidental use by Tenant during said business hours at Building-standard rates. Subject to the Building’s
Rules and Regulations, Landlord shall provide Tenant with the use of the Building’s freight elevators for up to eight (8)

B.Heating and Air-Conditioning.
Landlord shall deliver the Premises to Tenant with a new, properly functioning heating, ventilation and air-conditioning unit (the
“Unit”) of sufficient capacity to service the Premises for the Permitted Use. Landlord hereby represents and warrants
that as of the Commencement Date, the Unit shall be new and in good working order and that the Unit shall be sufficient to service
the Premises. Landlord further represents and warrants that the Unit contains a seven (7) year manufacturer’s warranty and
such warranty shall inure to the benefit of Tenant during the Term. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall,
at its own cost and expense, (i) cause to be performed all maintenance of the Unit, including all repairs and replacements thereto
including major components of the air-conditioning mechanical equipment (e.g., the compressor and pumps) , and (ii) commencing
thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date, and thereafter throughout the Term of this Lease, maintain in force and provide
a copy of same to Landlord an air conditioning service repair and full service maintenance contract covering the Unit in form reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord with an air conditioning contractor or servicing organization reasonably approved by Landlord. All such
contracts shall provide for the thorough overhauling of the Unit at least once each year during the Term of this Lease and shall
expressly state that it shall be an automatically renewing contract terminable upon not less than (30) days prior written notice
to Landlord and the contractor providing such service shall maintain a log at the Premises detailing the service provided during
each visit pursuant to such contract. Tenant shall keep such log at the Premises and permit Landlord to review same promptly after
Landlord’s reasonable request (not to occur more than once per calendar year). The Unit is and shall at all times remain
the property of Landlord, and at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Unit
in good working order and condition, subject to normal wear and tear and shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the service log. In
the event that Tenant fails to obtain the contract required herein or perform any of the maintenance or repairs required hereunder,
Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to procure such contract and/or perform any such work and charge the Tenant
as Additional Rent hereunder the cost of same plus an administrative fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such cost which shall be
paid for by Tenant on demand.


 


C. Water. Landlord shall deliver

D.Sprinkler System. Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the sum of $200.00 per month as Additional Rent for sprinkler system services, which sum is subject to periodic
increases during the Term, provided that such increases are uniformly applied to other similarly situated tenants in the Building.

pay to Landlord the sum of $500.00 per month as Additional Rent for security guard services, which sum is subject to periodic increases
during the Term, provided that such increases are uniformly applied to other similarly situated tenants in the Building.


 






    	35



    	 



    




 


F.Interruption of
Services. Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the heating/air conditioning, electrical, plumbing or other mechanical
systems or facilities in the Building when necessary, by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs, additions, alterations,
replacements, decorations or improvements in the judgment of Landlord desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, additions,
alterations, replacements, decorations or improvements shall have been completed, or if an Event of Default occurs (provided prior
written notice has been delivered to Tenant). Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for interruption, curtailment
or failure to supply heat/air conditioning, elevator, plumbing, electricity or mechanical service when prevented by exercising
its right to stop service or by strikes, labor troubles or accidents or by any cause whatsoever reasonably beyond Landlord's control,
or by failure of independent contractors to perform or by laws, orders, rules or regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal
authority, or failure of suitable fuel supply, or inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain suitable fuel or by reason
of governmental preemption in connection with a National Emergency or by reason of the conditions of supply and demand which have
been or are affected by war or other emergency. The exercise of such right or such failure by Landlord shall not constitute an
actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any compensation or to any abatement or diminution of
rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or its agents by reason
of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise.


 


30.ELECTRICITY SERVICE.


 


A.(i) Subject to the terms of this
Article 30, Landlord shall furnish electrical service for the Premises on a submetered basis.





(ii)For purposes of this Article:


 


(a)“Usage” shall mean actual
usage of electricity in the Premises, including all lighting fixtures, electrical receptacles, equipment and air-conditioning equipment
installed in, or servicing the Premises, as measured by the submeter(s) to be installed by Landlord for each calendar month. In
the event any air conditioning equipment utilized for the Premises is utilized by other tenants of the Building, the energy consumption
(kWh) and demand (kW) will be measured and allocated by Landlord proportionately, on the basis of the respective amount of rentable
square occupied by such tenants, including Tenant;


 


(b)“Landlord's Rate” shall
mean the service classification (including all applicable taxes, surcharges, demand charges and rates, energy charges and rates,
fuel adjustment charges, time of day charges and other charges, adjustments and sums payable in respect thereof) pursuant to which
Landlord purchases electric current for the Building from the utility company and/or the Energy Supply Company (ESCO) supplying
electric current to the Building, in effect from time to time during the term of this lease, which shall be utilized as the rate
structure for the determination of "Basic Cost" (as hereinafter defined);






    	36



    	 



    




 


(c)“Basic Cost” shall mean
the product of (i) Usage multiplied by (ii) the Landlord's Rate, for the period that corresponds to the period during which Usage
was measured; and


 


(d)"Tenant's Cost" shall
mean an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Basic Cost plus (ii) five (5%) percent of the Basic Cost for Landlord's overhead and
expenses in connection with submetering.


 


(iii)Landlord, at Landlord’s
sole cost and expense, shall install one or more meters and other necessary equipment to measure the amount of Usage. Tenant shall,
at its expense, properly and continuously maintain, repair and cause any and all replacements of the meters and other necessary
equipment using an electrician or contractor approved by Landlord. Where more than one meter measures the amount of Usage, Usage
through each meter shall be computed and billed separately in accordance with the provisions of this subparagraph A.


 





(iv) Landlord shall, from time
to time but not more often than monthly, furnish Tenant with an invoice indicating the period during which the Usage was measured
and the amount of Tenant's Cost payable by Tenant to Landlord for such period. Within ten (10) days after receipt of each such
invoice, Tenant shall pay the amount of Tenant's Cost set forth thereon to Landlord as Additional Rent (hereinafter the “Electric
Charges”). In addition, if any tax is imposed upon Landlord by any municipal, state or federal agency or subdivision with
respect to the purchase, sale or resale of electrical energy supplied to Tenant hereunder and with respect to the Premises only,
then, to the extent permitted by law, such taxes shall be passed on to Tenant as Electric Charges and included in the bill to,
and paid by, Tenant to Landlord, as Additional Rent.


 


 (v) Tenant hereby acknowledges
that Landlord has made no representation or warranty as to whether or not the electrical service described above is or will be
sufficient or adequate for Tenant's electrical needs from time to time during the term of this Lease. In addition, Landlord shall
not in any wise be liable or responsible to Tenant for any loss, damage, or expense that Tenant may sustain or incur if either
the quantity or character of electrical service is changed, is no longer available, or is unsuitable for Tenant's requirements.
Landlord will reasonably work with Tenant to provide sufficient power to accommodate Tenant’s proposed needs.


 





(vi) In no event shall Tenant use or
install any fixtures, equipment or machines the use of which in conjunction with other fixtures, equipment and machines in the
Premises would result in an overload of the electrical circuits servicing the Premises in excess of their then existing capacities.


 


(vii) (a)Tenant covenants
and agrees that, at all times, its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building or the
risers or wiring installation thereof. In connection therewith, Tenant expressly agrees that all installations, alterations and
additions of and to the electrical distribution system within the Premises after the Commencement Date shall be subject to Landlord's
prior written approval in each instance (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and, if such approval shall
be given, all such installation shall be installed in accordance with the New York City Electric Code by a licensed electrical
contractor approved by Landlord. If, in connection with any request for such approval, Landlord shall, in its sole but reasonable
judgment, determine that additional risers, feeders, wiring installation or other equipment are required, Landlord shall, at the
sole cost and expense of Tenant, install such additional risers, feeders, wiring installations and other equipment that Landlord
shall deem reasonably necessary with respect thereto, provided, however, that, if Landlord shall determine, in its sole but reasonable
judgment, that the same will cause permanent damage or injury to the Building or to the Premises, cause or create a dangerous or
hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs, or expense, interfere with, or disturb, the other tenants
or occupants of the Building, or adversely affect Landlord's ability to supply or furnish electricity to other portions of the
Building at any time during or prior to the term of this Lease, then Landlord shall not be obligated to make such installation,
and Tenant shall not make the installation, alteration, or addition to the electrical distribution system within the Premises with
respect to which Tenant requested Landlord's approval. All of the aforesaid costs and expenses are chargeable and collectible as
Additional Rent, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant
therefor.


 






    	37



    	 



    




 


(b)Landlord shall furnish, install
and replace, as required, all lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts required in the Premises, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
All lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts so installed shall become Landlord's property upon the expiration or sooner termination
of this lease. Additionally, all fixtures, if same do not conform to the description set forth hereafter, shall be lamped and ballasted
(or relamped and reballasted) throughout the Premises by Tenant at its expense as follows: fluorescent fixtures shall be lamped
with Building standard bulbs and lenses.


 





(viii) In the event the meter(s)
installed in the Premises for the measurement of electricity consumption in the Premises to determine Electric Charges or any alternative
submetering system installed by Landlord at a later date, becomes prohibited from use, then Landlord, at its expense and upon prior
written notice to Tenant, may cause an independent electrical engineer chosen by Landlord or an electrical consulting firm selected
by Landlord (the "Electrical Consultant") to survey and determine Usage in, and Basic Cost for, the Premises from time
to time in order to establish electric charges on a rent-inclusion basis (the “Electric Inclusion Factor”), and the
Electrical Consultant shall make such determination using criteria generally accepted in the Metropolitan New York City area and
Landlord's Rate in effect at the time, and shall include the quantity and peak demand, for all electricity consumed by Tenant,
plus five (5%) percent of the Basic Cost for Landlord's expenses and administration fees. The determination made by the Electrical
Consultant with regard to the Electric Inclusion Factor, shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant and such amount shall be
deemed Tenant's Cost. If, at any time or times after the date such determination is made, the rates at which Landlord purchases
electrical energy from the utility supplying electrical service to the Building or any charges incurred or taxes payable by Landlord
in connection therewith shall be increased, the Additional Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be increased upon demand
of Landlord in an annual amount which shall fairly represent the estimated increase in the annual value to Tenant of the electrical
service provided by Landlord to Tenant under the provisions of this subsection.

(ix) Notwithstanding anything in subparagraph
A(viii) to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right as hereinafter provided, to contest any amounts determined by the Electrical
Consultant pursuant to subparagraph A(viii) as shall be due to Landlord as a result of any such survey. In the event that Tenant
fails to send a written notice (an "Objection Notice") to Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of the Electrical
Consultant's notice containing said Usage and Basic Cost, such notice shall become conclusive and binding upon Tenant. If Tenant
disputes any such notice by sending an Objection Notice within the time and in the manner hereinbefore provided, then Tenant shall,
at its sole cost and expense, have the right to engage an electrical engineer or electrical consulting firm ("Tenant's Consultant")
who shall promptly make a survey (the "Disputing Survey") indicating Tenant's electrical usage in the Premises. In the
event that Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the amount of Usage and Basic Cost within thirty (30) days after the date
Tenant furnishes Landlord with a copy of the Disputing Survey, then the Electrical Consultant and Tenant's Consultant shall select
a mutually acceptable electrical engineer or electrical consulting firm (the "Third Consultant") within ten (10) days
after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. The Electrical Consultant and Tenant's Consultant
shall submit the dispute to the Third Consultant and the determination by the Third Consultant shall be conclusive and binding
upon Landlord and Tenant. During the pendency of any such dispute, Tenant shall pay to Landlord without prejudice the amount set
forth in the Electrical Consultant's notice until the dispute is finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section
and, in the event that such final determination is less than the amount set forth in the Electrical Consultant's notice, Landlord
shall, at Tenant's election, refund to Tenant the amount of such excess payment or credit any such excess against any amounts then
due or becoming due to Landlord under this lease. The cost of the Third Consultant shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.


 


B. Landlord reserves the right to discontinue
furnishing electricity to Tenant in the Premises on not less than sixty (60) days' notice to Tenant. If Landlord exercises such
right to discontinue, or is compelled to discontinue furnishing electricity to Tenant, this Lease shall continue in full force
and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except only that from and after the effective date of such discontinuance, Landlord
shall not be obligated to furnish electricity to Tenant and the Rent shall be reduced accordingly. If Landlord so discontinues
furnishing electricity to Tenant, Tenant shall arrange to obtain electricity directly from the utility or other company servicing
the Building. Such electricity may be furnished to Tenant by means of the then existing electrical facilities serving the Premises
to the extent that the same are available, suitable and safe for such purposes. All additional meters and all additional panel
boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and equipment which may be required to obtain electricity, of substantially
the same quantity, quality and character, shall be installed by Landlord, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Landlord shall not
voluntarily discontinue furnishing electricity to Tenant until Tenant is able to receive electricity directly from the utility
or other company servicing the Building.


 






    	39



    	 



    

  


C. Landlord shall not be liable to
Tenant in any way for any interruption, curtailment or failure, or defect in the supply or character of electricity furnished to
the Premises by reason of any requirement, act or omission of Landlord or of any utility or other company servicing the Building
with electricity or for any other reason except Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If either the quantity or character
of electrical service is changed by the utility or other company supplying electrical service to the Building or is no longer available
or suitable for Tenant's requirements, no such change, unavailability or unsuitability shall constitute an actual or constructive
eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations
under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord, or its agents, by reason of inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant, or injury
to or interruption of Tenant's business, or otherwise.


 


31.INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.


 


32.VAULT SPACE. Any vaults,
vault space or other space outside the boundaries of the Real Property, notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease or indicated
on any sketch, blueprint or plan are not included in the Premises. Landlord makes no representation as to the location of the boundaries
of the Real Property. All vaults and vault space and all other space outside the boundaries of the Real Property which Tenant may
be permitted to use or occupy is to be used or occupied under a revocable license (i.e., pursuant to a separate written agreement),
and if any such license shall be revoked, or if the amount of such space shall be diminished or required by any Federal, State
or Municipal authority or by any public utility company, such revocation, diminution or requisition shall not constitute an actual
or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of rent, or relieve Tenant from
any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord. Any fee, tax or charge imposed by any governmental
authority for any such vaults, vault space or other space shall be paid by Tenant.


 


33.SECURITY DEPOSIT. Contemporaneously
with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit as security for the faithful performance
and observance by Tenant of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease, including without limitation the surrender of possession
of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease. It is agreed that upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent and Additional Rent, Landlord may apply or retain the
whole or any part of the Security Deposit so deposited to the extent required for the payment of any Rent and Additional Rent or
any other sum as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason
of Tenant's default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to, any damages
or deficiency in the reletting of the Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue or accrues before or after summary proceedings
or other reentry by Landlord. If Landlord applies or retains any part of the Security Deposit so deposited, Tenant, within five
(5) days after notice from Landlord, shall deposit with Landlord the amount so applied or retained so that Landlord shall have
the full Security Deposit on hand at all times during the Term. The failure by Tenant to deposit such additional amount within
the foregoing time period shall be deemed a material default pursuant to Article 17 of this Lease. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully
comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant
after the Expiration Date and after delivery of the entire possession of the Premises to Landlord. In the event of a sale of the
Real Property or the Building or leasing of the Building, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the
vendee or lessee and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit;
and Tenant agrees to look solely to the new Landlord for the return of the Security Deposit; and it is agreed that the provisions
hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to a new Landlord. Tenant further covenants that
it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit and that neither Landlord nor its successors
or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance. The Security Deposit
shall be placed in an interest-bearing account and all interest thereon (less the statutory administrative fee which shall be retained
by Landlord) shall be remitted to Tenant annually, provided Tenant is not then in default beyond any applicable notice and/or cure
period in the performance of any of its monetary obligations under this Lease.

of Article 9 and Article 37 above. Tenant agrees to observe all rules and regulations, which Landlord may impose regarding the
use of the Roof Space. Tenant shall be expressly prohibited from using the Roof Space for meetings, gatherings, events and/or parties.

S. During Tenant’s use of the Roof Space, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep the Roof Space broom clean solely
with respect to Tenant’s use of the Roof Space and free from Tenant’s debris. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall
