(and without notice) in case of emergency, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to make such repairs or replacements without
liability to Tenant for any loss or damage which may accrue to Tenant, its merchandise, fixtures or other property or to its business,
by reason thereof, and upon completion thereof, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord in accordance with Section 16.7 hereof.



 


		10.	SUBORDINATION



 


		10.1	This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate in all
respects to all present and future mortgages, which may now or hereafter affect the Property and/or the Leased Premises. The foregoing
shall extend to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements
and extensions of such mortgages. This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.
In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument, in recordable form if required,
that Landlord, or the holder of any superior mortgage or any of their respective successors in interest may request to evidence
such subordination.



 




    	 	13	 



     


    

 


		10.2	Tenant agrees without further instruments of attornment or subordination in each case, (a) to attorn
to the holder of any superior mortgage or any successor to such holder’s interest, upon such holder’s or successor’s
request and agreement by such holder or successor that Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Leased Premises shall not be interrupted
or diminished by such mortgage or successor in interest provided an default has not occurred, as the case may be, (b) to waive
the provisions of any statute or rule or law now or hereafter in effect which may give or propose to give Tenant any right of election
to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Leased Premises in the event a superior mortgage is foreclosed, (c) not
to modify or amend this Lease without the mortgage holder’s prior consent and (d) that Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease shall not be affected in any way whatsoever by any such proceeding or termination (it being understood, however, that such
holder or successor in interest shall under no circumstances be bound by any payment of rent for more than one month in advance,
except for the security deposit, if actually provided to such mortgagee). Tenant shall take no steps to terminate this Lease without
giving written notice to the holder of a superior mortgage, and a reasonable opportunity to cure (without such holder being obligated
to cure) any default on the part of the Landlord under this Lease. In confirmation of such attornment, Tenant shall promptly execute
and deliver any instrument, in recordable form if required, that Landlord, or the holder of any mortgage or any of its successors
in interest may request to evidence such attornment.



 


		10.3	In the event of any act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to terminate
this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Tenant will not exercise any such right
until:



 


		a.	It has given written notice of such act or omission to the holder of any superior mortgage and
of any superior lease of which it has been given notice; and



 


		b.	A reasonable period (but not exceeding ninety (90) days) for remedying such act or omission shall
have elapsed following such giving of notice during which such parties, or any of them with reasonable diligence, has not commenced
and continued to remedy such act or omission or to cause the same to be remedied.



 


		10.4	Tenant further agrees that the holder of such mortgage shall not under any circumstances be:



 


		a.	Liable for any default of Landlord under the Lease occurring prior to the date upon which such
mortgage holder forecloses on all or any portion of the Leased Premises.



 




    	 	14	 



     


    

 


		b.	Subject to any offsets or defenses which have accrued prior to the date of foreclosure.



 


		c.	Bound by any rent that Tenant may have paid under the Lease more than one month in advance.



 


		d.	Bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without such mortgage holder’s prior
written consent.



 


		e.	Responsible for the return of any security deposit delivered to Landlord under the Lease and not
subsequently received by such mortgage holder.



 


If Tenant fails to execute any
instrument required to be executed by Tenant under this Section 10 within seven (7) days after request, Tenant irrevocably
appoints Landlord as its attorney-in-fact, in Tenant’s name, to execute such instrument.


 


		11.	ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.



 


		11.1	Prohibitions. Tenant for itself, its successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it
shall not by operation of law, foreclosure, as collateral or otherwise assign, sublet, hypothecate, encumber or mortgage this Lease,
or any part thereof, or permit the Leased Premises, to be used by others (pursuant to any employment, management, franchise, license
or concessionaire agreement, or otherwise) without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. For purposes of this
Section 11, “assignment” shall be considered to include any change in the ownership of Tenant if Tenant is a
corporation, limited liability company or partnership, which change has not been previously approved by Landlord in writing. Without
Landlord’s prior written consent, any attempt by Tenant to assign, sublet, encumber or mortgage this Lease shall be null
and void. The consent by Landlord to any assignment, mortgage, hypothecation, encumbrance, subletting or use of the Leased Premises
by others, shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to withhold its consent to any other or further assignment,
subletting, mortgage, encumbrance or use of the Leased Premises by others. Except as otherwise set forth herein, without the prior
written consent of Landlord, this Lease and the interest therein of any assignee of Tenant herein, shall not pass by operation
of law, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise, and shall not be subject to garnishment or sale under execution in
any suit or proceeding which may be brought against or by Tenant or any assignee of Tenant. The absolute and unconditional prohibitions
contained in this Section 11 and Tenant’s agreement thereto are material inducements to Landlord to enter into this
Lease with Tenant and any breach thereof shall constitute a material default hereunder permitting Landlord to exercise all remedies
provided for herein or by law or in equity on a default of Tenant.



 




    	 	15

this Lease may be assigned to: (i) an entity created by merger, reorganization or recapitalization of or with Tenant; or (ii) an
Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of Tenant; provided that: (A) Landlord shall have received from Tenant thirty (30) days’
prior written notice of such assignment, which shall include a copy of the proposed assignment document, including the identity

Landlord; (B) the assignee assumes by written instrument satisfactory to Landlord all of Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease and shall use the Leased Premises for a use consistent with this Lease; and (C) such assignment is for a valid business purpose

of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and shall use the Leased Premises for a use consistent with this Lease; and (C)

including the premises demised thereunder, the identity of the subtenant, the economic terms of the sublease and such financial
statements and other information required by Landlord; (II) Landlord shall have received a copy of the sublease for a term that

the Building) in all respects; (IV) if an Affiliate sublease is approved by Landlord, such entity at all times remains an Affiliate
of the Tenant named herein or, in the event the subtenant will, at any time, not be an Affiliate of Tenant, Tenant obtains Landlord’s
prior written consent as set forth herein; (V) Landlord shall have the absolute right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to
refuse to consent to any more than two (2) subleases of the Leased Premises. “Affiliate”, for purposes hereof, means
any person or entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant. “Control” (and with
correlative meaning, “controlled by” and “under common control with”), for purposes hereof, means ownership
or voting control, directly or indirectly, of more than 20% of the voting stock, partnership interests or other beneficial ownership
interests of the entity in question.


 


Further notwithstanding the foregoing,

prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

Lease, and Landlord shall not be limited in the proof of any damages which Landlord may claim against Tenant arising out of or
by reason of Tenant’s failure to provide and keep in force insurance as aforesaid, to the amount of insurance premium or
premiums not paid or incurred by Tenant and which would have been payable upon such insurance, but Landlord, in addition to any
and all other rights and remedies provided Landlord under the terms of this Lease, shall also be entitled to recover as damages
for such breach the uninsured amounts of any loss, to the extent of any deficiency in the insurance required by provisions of this
Lease.



 


		12.3	Minimum Amount. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any provision of this Lease
to the contrary, the insurance coverage requirements set forth this Section 12, in terms of both forms of insurance and
amounts of coverage, represent the minimum protection required by Landlord and shall not constitute a representation or warranty
by Landlord as to the adequacy and sufficiency of such forms of insurance and amounts of coverage. Tenant agrees to make and rely
upon an independent determination regarding which additional forms of insurance or higher levels of coverage, if any, may be necessary
or desirable in order to furnish Landlord and Tenant adequate protection.



 


		13.	TENANT’S ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

		16.5	Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy provided herein or by law but each shall be cumulative and in
addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute and may be
pursued successively or collectively as Landlord may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an election
of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in the future.



 


		16.6	Rights of Mortgagee. In the event of any default by act or omission by Landlord which would
give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise any such right
until it has notified in writing the holder of any mortgage which at the time shall be a lien on all or any portion of the Property
of such default, and until a reasonable period for curing such default shall, have elapsed following the giving of such notice,
during which period the holder shall have failed to commence and continue to cure such default or to cause the same to be remedied
or cured.



 


		16.7	Curing Tenant’s Defaults. If Tenant shall be in default in the performance of any
of its obligations hereunder, Landlord, without any obligation to do so, in addition to any other rights it may have in law or

(except in the case of emergency or in connection with insurance obligations, in which case no notice shall be required) to Tenant.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand with Interest thereon from the respective dates of Landlord’s making the payments
and incurring such costs, at the rate set forth in Section 1.1(g), which sums and costs together with interest thereon shall
be deemed additional rent payable promptly upon being billed therefor.



 


		16.8	Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any dispute arising under this Lease, the party that
does not prevail in such dispute (the “Responsible Party) shall pay to the other (the “Prevailing Party”) all

this Lease.



 


		16.9	WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TENANT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT OR ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE

LEASE.



 


		16.11	Surrender/Holdover by Tenant. Upon the expiration or other termination of the Term of this
Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Leased Premises in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire
or other casualty, the elements and any cause beyond Tenant’s control excepted. Tenant acknowledges that possession of the
Leased Premises must be surrendered upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE. Tenant
shall reimburse, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
resulting from Tenant’s failure or refusal to vacate the Leased Premises in a timely fashion. In addition, Tenant agrees
to pay for use and occupancy of the Leased Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease at a rate equal to
200% of the Minimum Annual Rent, additional rent and adjustments to rent payable immediately prior to such termination or expiration.
No such payment shall, however, serve to renew or extend the Term of this Lease. The obligations set forth in this section shall
survive the termination of this Lease.

		17.	SECURITY DEPOSIT



 


Tenant shall deposit with Landlord,
on the Effective Date, the sum of $250,000.00 in lawful United States currency (or in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit
in form and substance and from an issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord), for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant
of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease. It is agreed that in the event Tenant defaults in respect of any of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Rent, Landlord may draw on such security
deposit to the extent required for the payment of Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default, or 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 or conditions
of this lease, including but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in the reletting of the Leased Premises, regardless of whether
such damages or deficiency occurred before or after summary process or other re-entry by Landlord. In the event that Landlord does
draw on the security deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days of receiving written notice from Landlord, replenish the security
deposit by the amount Landlord withdrew therefrom and failure to do so within such ten (10) day period shall constitute a default
under this Lease. In the event of a sale of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, Landlord shall have the right to transfer
said security deposit to the new landlord upon such transfer and Landlord shall have no further liability for the security deposit.
If the security deposit shall be made by Tenant in the form of an irrevocable letter of credit, (i) the non-renewal, expiration
or termination thereof shall be conditioned upon (I) the issuer thereof delivering to Landlord written notice of such non-renewal,
expiration or termination at least thirty (30) days prior thereto and (II) Landlord’s receipt of a substitute irrevocable
letter of credit in form and substance and from an issuer reasonably acceptable to Landlord or good funds in amount equal to the
security deposit; failure of which shall be an immediate default hereunder. Tenant agrees that, in the event of default (including
the payment of Rent), Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the security deposit to the extent required for
the payment of Rent, including Minimum Annual Rent, or any other sums as to which Tenant is in default, or for any sum that Landlord
may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default, in respect of the terms, provisions, conditions and
covenants of this Lease (including any damages or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord).
In the event that Landlord applies or retains any portion or all of such security deposit, Tenant shall forthwith restore the amount
so retained or applied. Provided Tenant is not in default hereunder, after (i) Landlord’s receipt of the first installment
of Minimum Annual Rent after the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord shall return to Tenant a portion of the security deposit totaling
$200,000.00 (or shall exchange the aforementioned letter of credit for a letter of credit in the amount of $50,000.00 and otherwise
in the form required hereunder) and (ii) Landlord’s receipt of the first twelve (12) installments of Minimum Annual Rent
after the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord shall return to Tenant a portion of the security deposit totaling $15,000.00 (or shall
exchange the aforementioned letter of credit for a letter of credit in the amount of $35,000.00 and otherwise in the form required
hereunder), and, thereafter, the security deposit shall be equal to $35,000.00.

order to prepare all documents Landlord reasonably deems necessary or appropriate to determine the applicability of the Laws to
the Leased Premises and Tenant’s use thereof, and for compliance therewith, and Tenant shall execute all such documents promptly
upon Landlord’s request. No such action by Landlord and no attempt made by Landlord to mitigate damages under any Law shall
constitute a waiver of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Section 19.3.



 


		e.	Tenant’s obligations and liabilities under this Section 19.3 shall survive the expiration
or termination of this Lease.



 


		19.4	Tenant’s Environmental Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless

and liabilities under this Section 19.4 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.



 




    	 	30

Premises are free and clear of Hazardous Substances. Landlord will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Tenant, its directors,

insurance companies insuring its said property against any such loss, hereby waives any right of subrogation that it may have against
the other party.

    	 	31	 



     


    

 


		20.4	Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed, by the
parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent, of partnership or of joint venture
between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of rent nor any other provision
contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any other relationship than that of Landlord and
Tenant.



 


		20.5	Binding Effect. This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and
Landlord’s successors and assigns. This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Tenant and Tenant’s
successors and permitted assigns.



 


		20.6	Exhibits. All Exhibits attached to this Lease are made a part of this Lease and incorporated
by this reference into this Lease.

promises, assurances, agreements, representations, conditions, warranties, statements and understandings (the “Representations”
collectively) between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Leased Premises and the Building and the Property, and there are no representations,
either oral or written, between them other than those in this Lease. This Lease supersedes and revokes all previous negotiations,
arrangements, letters of intent, offers to lease, reservations of space, lease proposals, brochures, representations and information
conveyed as to the Leased Premises, whether oral or in writing, between the parties or their respective representatives or any
other person purporting to represent Landlord or Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter into this Lease
by any representations not set forth in this Lease, it has not relied on any such representations, no such representations shall
be used in the interpretation or construction of this Lease and Landlord shall have no liability for any consequences arising as
a result of any such representations. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon
Landlord or Tenant unless in writing signed by both parties.



 


		20.8	Signing. The signing of this Lease by Tenant and delivery of this Lease to Landlord or its
property manager does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Leased Premises or an agreement to enter into a Lease and
this Lease shall become effective only if and when Landlord signs and delivers same to Tenant: Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
concurrently with the delivery to Landlord of a signed Lease, certified resolutions of Tenant’s Board of Directors authorizing
the signing and delivery of this Lease and the performance by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease.



 




    	 	32	 



     


    

 


		20.9	No Accord. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than any installment
or payment of Rent due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount due, and no endorsement or statement on any check
or any letter accompanying any check or payment of Rent shall be considered an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such
check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or payment of Rent or pursue
any other remedies available to Landlord. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s
right to possession of the Leased Premises shall reinstate, continue or extend the Term. Landlord may allocate payments received
from Tenant to outstanding account balances of Tenant under this Lease in the manner determined by Landlord and Landlord shall
not be bound by any allocations of such payments made by Tenant by notation or endorsement on checks or otherwise.



 


		20.10	Broker. Tenant represents to Landlord that Tenant has not dealt with any real estate broker,
salesperson, or finder in connection with this Lease other than Savills Studley, Inc. (“Broker”), and no such person
initiated or participated in the negotiation of this Lease, or showed the Leased Premises to Tenant. Broker shall be paid by Landlord
pursuant to a separate agreement. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, and its agents, property manager,
contractors and employees, from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, actions, damages, costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) for brokerage commissions or fees arising out of a breach of such representation.



 


		20.11	Force Majeure. Landlord shall not be considered in default of any of the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Lease on Landlord’s part to be performed, if Landlord fails to timely perform same and such failure
is due in whole or in part to any strike, lockout, labor trouble (whether legal or illegal), civil disorder, inability to procure
materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws and regulations, riots, insurrections, war, fuel shortages, accidents,
casualties, Acts of God, acts caused directly or indirectly by Tenant (or Tenant’s agents, employees or invitees) or any
other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.



 


		20.12	No Waiver. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant
of this Lease by Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach or any subsequent breach of this Lease by Tenant and no provision
of this Lease and no breach of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord unless such waiver be
in writing signed by Landlord. Notwithstanding any cancellation or termination of this Lease, nothing herein shall be construed
to release Tenant from any liability or responsibility (whether then or thereafter occurring) with respect to any acts, omissions
or obligations of Tenant occurring prior to such cancellation or termination, all of which shall survive such cancellation or termination.



 


		20.13	Captions. Section and Section captions in this Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience
and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or intent of such Section and Section captions.



 


		20.14	Applicable Law. This Lease shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York.



 




    	 	33	 



     


    

 


		20.15	Notice of Lease. Tenant agrees not to record this Lease or any memorandum hereof and, unless
Tenant receives Landlord’s prior written consent thereto, to keep the terms of this Lease confidential. Notwithstanding any
provisions of this Section 20.15, Tenant may submit a copy of this Lease to Tenant’s insurer with respect to the Leased
Premises.



 


		20.16	Severability. If any clause, phrase, provision or portion of this Lease or the application
of same to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law. Such event shall not affect, impair
or render invalid or unenforceable the remainder of this Lease, nor any other clause phrase, provision or portion of this Lease,
nor shall it affect the application of any clause, phrase, provision or portion of this Lease to other persons or circumstances.



 


		20.17	No Construction Against Preparer of Lease. This Lease has been prepared by Landlord and
its professional advisors and reviewed by Tenant and its professional advisors. Landlord, Tenant and their separate advisors believe
that this Lease is the product of all of their efforts, that it expresses their agreement and that it should not be interpreted
in favor of either Landlord or Tenant or against either Landlord or Tenant merely because of their efforts in preparing it.



 


		20.18	Waiver of Liability. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant agrees
that it shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in the Building, and subject to prior rights of any mortgages
thereof, for the collection of any judgment or other judicial process requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the event of
any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed and/or
performed by Landlord, and no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other procedures for the satisfaction
of Tenant’s remedies. If Landlord transfers this Lease, except as collateral security for a loan, upon such transfer Landlord
will be released from all liability and obligation hereunder.



 


		20.19	Usury. It is the intent of Landlord and Tenant to comply at all times with applicable usury
laws. If at any time such laws would render usurious any amounts called for under this Lease, then it is Landlord’s and Tenant’s
express intention that such excess amount be immediately credited toward Rent and the provisions hereof and thereof be immediately
deemed to be reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced to comply with the then applicable laws, without
the necessity of the execution of any further documents.



 


		20.20	Definition of Landlord: Landlord’s Liability. The word “Landlord” is used
herein to include Landlord named above as well as its successors and assigns, each of whom shall have the same rights, remedies,
powers, authorities and privileges as it would have had if it originally signed this Lease as Landlord. Any such person, whether
or not named herein, shall have no liability hereunder after it ceases to hold title to the Leased Premises. Neither Landlord nor
any principal of Landlord nor the owner of the Leased Premises, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal liability
with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease or the Leased Premises, and if Landlord is in breach or default with respect
to Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or otherwise, Tenant shall look solely to the equity of the Landlord then in the
Leased Premises for satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.



 




    	 	34	 



     


    

 


		20.21	Limitation of Liability of Landlord.



 


		a.	Neither Landlord nor any agent or employee of Landlord shall be liable to Tenant, its employees,
agents, contractors and licensees for any damage to, or loss (by theft, vandalism or otherwise) of any of Tenant’s property
and/or of property of any other person, irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage or loss (unless the sole cause is Landlord’s
negligence). Landlord shall not be liable in any event for loss of, or damage to, any property entrusted to any of Landlord’s
employees or agents by Tenant. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption
or injury to business arising from Landlord or any other tenant making any repairs or alterations or performing maintenance services.



 


		b.	Tenant agrees that its sole remedies in cases where Landlord’s reasonableness in exercising
its judgment or withholding or delaying its consent or approval is applicable and in issue shall be those in the nature of an action
for an injunction or specific performance or for money damages with other remedies each being hereby specifically waived (including
the right to setoff or abatement). Failure by Tenant to seek relief within thirty (30) days of the date of Landlord’s decision
or alleged failure to render a decision shall be deemed a waiver of any right to dispute such action.



 


		c.	This Lease and the obligations of Tenant to pay Rent hereunder and perform all of the other covenants,
agreements, terms, provisions and conditions hereunder on the part of Tenant to be performed shall in no way be affected, impaired
or excused because Landlord is unable to or fails to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease, subject to Tenant’s
rights in law and at equity.



 


		20.22	Right of First Offer to Lease Period. Provided Tenant is not in default under the terms
and conditions of this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and grace period and subject to the rights of other
tenants in the Building existing as of the date hereof, if at any time before the Expiration Date, Landlord shall desire to market
or lease any portion of the 2nd Floor of the Building contiguous to the Leased Premises, then before offering to lease or marketing
the such space, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice (the “ROFO Offer”) and Tenant shall, by written notice to
be delivered to Landlord before 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (56) day following Landlord’s issuance of the ROFO Offer (such five
(5) day period, the “ROFO Offer Response Period”), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO SUCH TIME AND DATE, either
(x) accept the ROFO Offer or (y) decline the ROFO Offer (if Tenant fails to give a notice by the expiration of the ROFO Offer Response
Period, it will be deemed to have declined the ROFO Offer).



 




    	 	35	 



     


    

 


If Tenant accepts the ROFO Offer
pursuant to this Section and Landlord has not leased such space to another tenant, then Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of
Tenant’s acceptance of the ROFO Offer, enter into a lease amendment agreement reasonably acceptable to both Tenant and Landlord
to lease all the space described in the ROFO Offer on the terms and conditions as described in this paragraph. The minimum annual
rent and additional rent applicable to any such space shall be ninety-five percent (95%) of the then-current Fair Market Rental
Value of the Leased Premises as determined herein, as increased hereunder. If Tenant fails to accept the ROFO Offer during the
ROFO Offer Response Period or fails to enter into a lease amendment agreement in accordance herewith within thirty (30) days of
Tenant’s acceptance of the applicable ROFO Offer pursuant to this Section, Tenant’s right of first offer shall terminate
as to the space identified in the subject ROFO Offer, Tenant’s right of first offer with respect to such space shall no longer
be effective, Landlord shall have the right to lease such space to any person or entity without being subject to any rights of
Tenant, and Landlord shall not have any further obligation to Tenant with respect to such space.


 


Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate
in good faith the “Fair Market Rental Value” of any space subject to an accepted ROFO Offer. If Landlord and Tenant
are unable to determine the Fair Market Rental Value of any such space subject to an accepted ROFO Offer within five (5) days,
Landlord and Tenant, within five (5) days after the expiration of said five (5) day period, shall each simultaneously submit to
the other, in a sealed envelope, its good faith estimate of Fair Market Rental Value of such space subject to an accepted ROFO
Offer (collectively referred to as the “FMV Estimates”). If the higher of such FMV Estimates is not more than one hundred
five percent (105%) of the lower of such FMV Estimates, then the Fair Market Rental Value of such space subject to an accepted
ROFO Offer shall be the average of the two FMV Estimates. If the Fair Market Rental Value of the Leased Premises for the space
subject to an accepted ROFO Offer is not resolved by the exchange of FMV Estimates, Landlord and Tenant, within five (5) days after
the exchange of FMV Estimates, shall each select a Qualified Broker (as hereinafter defined) to determine the Fair Market Rental
Value of the space subject to an accepted ROFO Offer. “Qualified Broker” shall mean a real estate broker licensed in
the State of New York who (i) is affiliated with a national firm specializing in commercial real estate, (ii) has at least ten
(10) years’ experience as a real estate broker, and (iii) has working knowledge of current rental rates and practices in
the Southern Westchester, New York office market. Upon selection, Landlord’s and Tenant’s Qualified Brokers shall work
together in good faith to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value of the space subject to an accepted ROFO Offer. The determination
