this reference.

material event of default shall have occurred and is then continuing hereunder (or in such event,
upon the cure of any such default), Landlord shall contribute, as hereinafter provided, an amount
(“Landlord’s Contribution”) equal to a maximum of Two Hundred Sixty-Five Thousand, Six Hundred
Dollars ($265,600) for the Premises toward Tenant’s actual cost of Tenant’s alterations to be
performed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises, and “soft costs” incurred in connection with
Tenant’s alterations, including architectural and engineering fees and other soft costs incurred in
connection with Tenant’s alterations. Soft Costs shall mean the cost of space planning,
engineering and design costs, third party construction management fees, permitting,
furniture, moving and other soft costs and data and voice equipment, cabling, wiring and related
expenses and the cost of Tenant’s server room. Landlord shall not be obligated to commence payment
of Landlord’s Contribution for the Premises until April 1, 2011.

(b) Parameters. Any cost of Tenant’s alterations in excess of Landlord’s Contribution
shall be paid entirely by Tenant. Tenant shall be entitled to receive any portion of Landlord’s
Contribution not actually expended by Tenant in the performance of Tenant’s alterations and/or Soft
Costs and/or not paid by Landlord as required herein, as a credit against Fixed Rent for the
Premises, but not additional rent, provided that Tenant has provided to Landlord reasonable proof
that Tenant has paid in full the cost of Tenant’s alterations; and provided further that (i) Tenant
is not then in default of its obligation to pay Fixed or additional rent and that no other material
event of default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder and (ii) the credit shall be
applied against Fixed Rent due on or before the Final Submission Date, or six (6) months
thereafter, failing which, Tenant shall no longer be entitled to any credit for unpaid portions of
Landlord’s Contribution.



(c) Payment. Landlord shall make progress payments to Tenant or as directed by Tenant
on account of Landlord’s Contribution on a monthly basis in reimbursement of or payment for the
cost of the work performed during the previous month. Each of Landlord’s progress payments will be
limited to an amount equal to (a) the aggregate amounts theretofore paid or payable by Tenant (as
certified by an authorized officer of Tenant) to Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors and material
suppliers (excluding any payments for which Tenant has previously been reimbursed out of previous
disbursements from Landlord’s Contribution), multiplied by (b) a fraction, the numerator of which
is the amount of Landlord’s Contribution, and the denominator of which is the total contract price
(or, if there is no specified or fixed



 


7









 






contract price for Tenant’s alterations, then Landlord’s reasonable estimate thereof) for the
performance of all of Tenant’s alterations shown on all plans and specifications approved by
Landlord. Such progress payments shall be made within forty-five (45) days next following the
delivery to Landlord of requisitions therefor, signed by an officer of Tenant, which requisitions
shall set forth the names of each contractor and subcontractor to whom payment is due or to whom
payment has been made by Tenant, and the amount thereof, and shall be accompanied by (i) copies of
partial waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers covering all
work and materials which were the subject of previous progress payments by Landlord and Tenant; and
(ii) a written certification from Tenant’s architect that the work for which the requisition is
being made has been completed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications
approved by Landlord. All requisitions shall be submitted on AIA Form G702 and G703. All
requisitions must be submitted no later than April 1, 2013 (hereafter referred to as the “Final
Submission Date”). The final requisition shall not be disbursed until all documentation required
under this Section 15(c) has been delivered to Landlord, together with (A) proof of the
satisfactory completion of all required inspections (if any) and issuance of any required
approvals, permits and sign-offs for Tenant’s alterations by all governmental authorities having
jurisdiction thereover; (B) final “as-built” plans and specifications for Tenant’s alterations as
required pursuant to the Lease; and (C) the issuance of final lien waivers by all contractors,
subcontractors and material suppliers covering all of Tenant’s alterations. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, (i) Landlord’s Contribution shall be paid by
Landlord in no less than three installments; and (ii) Landlord will not be required to pay to
Tenant any undisbursed portion of the Landlord’s Contribution for any requisition not submitted
prior to the Final Submission Date. However, nothing set forth in the


 


8









 





preceding sentence shall limit Tenant’s right to the credit against Fixed Rent as set forth in
Section 15(b) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this paragraph 15, if
Tenant fails to pay when due any sums due and payable to any of Tenant’s contractors or material
suppliers and Tenant shall fail to remove or bond any lien, such failure shall constitute a
material event of default under the Lease and, without limitation of Landlord’s other rights and
remedies hereunder, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to promptly pay to such
contractor or supplier all sums so due from Tenant, and sums so paid by Landlord shall be deemed
additional rent and shall be paid by Tenant within ten (10) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant
an invoice therefor.



16. Articles Deleted. Landlord and Tenant agree that Article Sixty-Fifth of the Lease
is hereby deleted in its entirety.



17. Notices to Landlord. Article Forty-Eighth of the Lease is hereby amended to
provide that copies of any notices sent to Landlord by Tenant shall be sent to Gerstein Strauss &
Rinaldi, LLP, 57 West 38th Street, 9th Floor, New York, New York 10018, Attention: Victor R.
Gerstein, Esq., and not Arent Fox.



18. Electricity, Water and Sewer. Tenant shall pay to Landlord for electrical use in
each floor of the Premises in accordance with Article Twenty-Second of the First Amendment of
Lease, and water and sewer charges of $102 per month, per floor of the Premises in accordance with
Articles Twenty-Three and Twenty-Four of the Lease.

19. Tenant’s Surrender Option. As long as an Event of Default is not in existence,
and on the condition that Tenant and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates (i) have exercised their
Expansion Options contained in leases for other space in the Building, and (ii) have not exercised
a Surrender Option under any other lease for space in the Building, so that Tenant and/or its
subsidiaries and/or affiliates occupy under leases at least twelve (12) separate floors in the
Building, Tenant shall have the one time option (the “Surrender Option”) to surrender the Premises.
The surrender will be effective as of the date set forth in Tenant’s Notice (defined below), which
date shall not be earlier than the sixth (6th) month anniversary of the transmittal of the Tenant’s
Notice (the “Surrender Date”). The Surrender Option shall be exercisable by Tenant’s giving
irrevocable written notice (“Tenant’s Notice”) to Landlord at least six (6) months prior to
surrender of the Premises. If (i) Tenant duly serves the Tenant’s Notice, (ii) Tenant shall pay to
Landlord Fixed Rent and all other sums owed under the Lease (and all other leases for spaces
occupied by Tenant and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the Building) through the Surrender
Date, and (iii) Tenant shall surrender vacant possession of the Premises to Landlord on the
Surrender Date in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, free and clear of all tenancies,
sub-tenancies and occupancy rights, then the Lease shall be terminated as to the Premises
surrendered as of the Surrender Date. For sake of clarity, with regard to all of the space
occupied by Tenant and/or its subsidiaries and/or affiliates in the Building under various leases,
Tenant may surrender only one full floor.



20. Article Second. Article Second of the Lease is hereby amended to delete the
following language: “expended by Landlord and/or which” in the second line of subparagraph (a).



21. Rent Control. Article Fifty-Third of the Lease is hereby deleted in its
entirety, and the following language is substituted in its place:




“In the event the Fixed Rental or Additional Rental or any part
thereof provided to be paid by Tenant under the provisions of this
Lease during the demised term shall become uncollectible or shall be
reduced or required to be reduced or refunded by virtue of any
federal, state, county or city law, order or regulation, or by any
direction of a public officer or body pursuant to law, or the
orders,


 


10









 






rules, code or regulations of any organization or entity formed
pursuant to law, whether such organization or entity be public or
private, then Landlord, at its option, may at any time thereafter
terminate this Lease by not less than thirty (30) days’ written
notice to Tenant, on a date set forth in said notice, in which event
this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate and come to an end on
the date fixed in said notice as if the said date were the
Expiration Date. Landlord shall not have the right to so terminate
this Lease if Tenant, within such period of thirty (30) days, shall,
in writing, agree that the rentals herein reserved are a reasonable
rental and agrees to continue to pay said rentals”.



22. Capital Improvements. Articles Fifth, Twenty-Fourth, and Twenty-Fifth are hereby
amended to provide that notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant
shall not be responsible to pay for any capital improvements to the Building, and is not
responsible to pay for any sprinkler installations required by Local Law 26/2004, or any sprinkler
alterations unless required by Tenant’s specific use of or alteration to the Premises.



23. Continued Occupancy. Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in
Article Fifty-Ninth of the Lease, Landlord agrees not to serve Tenant with a notice of default
based upon failure of Tenant’s continued occupancy unless the Premises have been vacant for more
than fourteen (14) months. Tenant acknowledges that the previous sentence is not meant to limit
Landlord’s rights or remedies in the event of any other default by Tenant under this Lease, or in
any way interfere with the rights of Landlord to enforce the provisions of this Lease.



24. Late Charge. Article Sixty-Seventh, Section (i) of the Lease is hereby amended
to reduce the amount of the late charge from ten cents ($0.10) to four cents ($0.04) for each
dollar.


 


11









 





25. Assignment and Sublet. Article Tenth of the Lease, Section (ii), is hereby
amended to reduce the amount of the letter of credit to the product of (A) one (1), and (B) the
then prevailing monthly Fixed Rent.



Sections (v)(A) and (v)(C) of Article Tenth are hereby amended to provide that Tenant may
deliver to Landlord, in lieu of a term sheet, a written notice of intent to assign or sublet the
Lease, in order to trigger Landlord’s right to either terminate the Lease, or accept an assignment
of the Lease, provided however, that with regard to a sublet, Section (C)(1) shall be amended to
provide for rental terms based on market rents.



26. Removal of Tenant Improvements. The last sentence of Article Twelfth, Section
(C) of the Lease is hereby amended to read as follows:




“Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed by the
parties hereto that all improvements and other alterations to the
demised premises made by or on behalf of Tenant prior to the
Effective Date shall be deemed to be standard alterations which
Landlord may not require Tenant to remove.”



27. Ratification. This Agreement amends and forms a part of the Lease. Landlord and
Tenant hereby ratify and confirm their obligations under the Lease and represent and warrant to one
another that each has no defenses thereto. Additionally, Landlord and Tenant further confirm and
ratify that, as of the date hereof, (i) the Lease is and remains in good standing and in full force
and effect and time remains of the essence thereof, (ii) each has no claims, counterclaims,
set-offs or defenses against the other arising out of the Lease, and other leases for space
occupied by Tenant in the Building, or in any way relating thereto or arising out of any other
transaction between Landlord and Tenant, and (iii) except as otherwise herein set forth, Tenant is
not entitled to any free rent, rent abatement, Landlord’s work contribution or allowance, or
Landlord’s work. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has performed all
obligations imposed on Landlord by the Lease, and other leases for space occupied by Tenant in
the Building, prior to the date hereof.

28. Entire Agreement; No Waiver. This Agreement, together with the Lease, constitutes
the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the matters stated herein, and may not
be amended or modified unless such amendment or modification shall be in writing and shall have
been signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought. No waiver by either party or any
failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a
waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply. If any provision of this
Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of
such provision other than to the extent that it is invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected,
and each provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the
invalidity or unenforceability of such provision, but only to the extent that application and/or
enforcement, as the case may be, would be equitable and consistent with the intent of the parties
in entering into this Agreement.



29. Submission of Amendment. The submission by Landlord to Tenant of this Agreement
shall have no binding force or effect, shall not constitute an option for the leasing of the
Premises, nor confer any rights or impose any obligations upon either party until the execution
thereof by Landlord and the delivery of an executed original copy thereof to Tenant or its
representative.



30. Binding Effect; Governing Law. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective successors and assigns. In the event of
any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and the remaining terms of this
Lease, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control. This Agreement shall be governed by
the laws of the State of New York.

31. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
