and (ii) any other work or alterations performed hereunder, as applicable, including the Fit-out Work except (a) in the case of Base Building Work or the Fit-out Work, for any item(s) of Base Building Work or the Fit-out Work, as the case

 E. (i) Landlord shall notify Tenant at least fifteen (15) Business Days in advance of
the anticipated satisfaction of the Ready for Occupancy Conditions (the “Delivery Condition Notice”) setting forth the date on which Landlord reasonably believes the Ready for Occupancy Conditions will be satisfied (such date, as
the same may be revised by the Confirmation Notice, is referred to herein as the “Anticipated Delivery Date”). 

(ii) At least ten (1 0) Business Days prior to the Anticipated Delivery Date specified in the Delivery Condition Notice,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a second notice (the “Confirmation Notice”) confirming the Anticipated Delivery Date set forth in the Delivery Condition Notice, or if such delivery date is no longer expected to be met by Landlord,
the Confirmation Notice shall set forth the revised anticipated delivery date (which may be later but not earlier than the Anticipated Delivery Date set forth in the Delivery Condition Notice). 

(iii) Within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the Confirmation Notice, Tenant shall establish a date
(which date shall be no later than five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the Confirmation Notice) reasonably acceptable to Landlord (a “Walk-Through Date”) on which Landlord and Tenant shall jointly inspect the
Premises to determine if the Ready for Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.02. After the delivery to Tenant of the Confirmation Notice, and upon reasonable prior notice from Landlord, Tenant
shall use reasonable efforts to meet with Landlord at the Building, accompanied by Tenant’s Construction Representative and such of Tenant’s architectural, engineering and/or construction consultants as Tenant may reasonably designate or
Landlord shall have reasonably requested, prior to the Anticipated Delivery Date specified in the Confirmation Notice to facilitate preparation of a draft list of Punch List Items. 

(iv) Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall complete all Punch List Items(s) in accordance with good construction
practices as soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event, subject to extension due to Force Majeure or Tenant Delays, within sixty (60) days) after the date when Landlord and Tenant shall have confirmed their agreement to a list of Punch
List Items in writing, except for any Punch List Item(s) which in accordance with good construction scheduling practices should only be completed after completion by Tenant of one or more item(s) of the FF&E Work (it being agreed that Landlord
shall prosecute completion of such Punch List Item(s) diligently and with continuity until completion). In addition, Landlord shall repair any latent defects in the Demised Premises promptly after receiving notice thereof from Tenant, provided that
any such notice is delivered not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Commencement Date. If (a) Landlord and Tenant fail to agree on the Punch List Items within sixty ( 60) days after the Walk-Through Date or
(b) Landlord fails to complete the Punch List Items within such sixty (60) days after the date when Landlord and Tenant shall have confirmed their agreement to a list of Punch List Items in writing (as the same maybe extended due to Force
Majeure or Tenant Delays), Tenant may deliver notice to Landlord with respect thereto. If the Punch List has not been agreed upon or the Punch List Items not completed within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery by Tenant to Landlord
of such notice, Tenant may deliver to Landlord a second notice with respect thereto (which notice shall expressly state that Tenant may exercise self-help and offset rights in accordance with the provisions of this Section), and in such event,
Tenant shall have the right to perform the Punch List Items (but only such Punch List Items as to which Landlord and Tenant have agreed upon in writing as aforesaid) which are not completed by Landlord reasonably promptly following the delivery by
Tenant to Landlord, providing a credit against the next payment(s) of Rent payable by Tenant hereunder or paying such sum to Tenant) for its

reasonable out-of-pocket third party expenses connected with performing such Punch List Items within thirty (30) days after Tenant delivers to Landlord an invoice with respect thereto (which
invoice shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation so that Landlord shall be able to verify the amount of such expenses). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time Tenant is entitled to such reimbursement, Tenant is then in
default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such reimbursement payable to Tenant against amounts properly due and owing by Tenant to Landlord. 

F. (i) If any Tenant Delay occurs and such Tenant Delay causes an actual delay in the Substantial Completion and/or the fulfillment of
any condition for the satisfaction of the Ready for Occupancy Conditions, then for purposes of determining the date on which the Ready for Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied (and notwithstanding any provision of this Lease or any other
exhibits attached to this Lease to the contrary), but without limiting any other rights or remedies that Landlord may have hereunder, the Ready for Occupancy Conditions shall be deemed to have been satisfied and the Commencement Date shall be deemed
to have occurred, on the date on which Landlord would have been reasonably estimated to have satisfied the Ready for Occupancy Conditions but for such Tenant Delay. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty
(30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoices therefor, all actual increased hard and soft costs incurred by Landlord by reason of, and directly attributable to any Tenant Delays; provided, however, in the event that any
Tenant Delay results in a casualty and such costs are covered by insurance required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder, Landlord agrees to look first to such insurance coverage; provided, further, however, the foregoing shall
not relieve Tenant for any costs not so covered by insurance. 
 (ii) For the purposes hereof, “Tenant
Delay” shall mean any actual delay beyond the reasonably anticipated completion date for the matter at issue that Landlord may encounter in the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease due to any negligence, omission
(where there is a duty to act) or act of any nature of Tenant or any Tenant Party or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors or invitees, including, subject to the terms hereof, the following: (A) any violation
noted against the Premises, the Unit, the Building or any part thereof caused by Tenant or any Tenant Entity, or any other act or omission of Tenant or any Tenant Entity, which actually delays Landlord in obtaining a temporary or permanent
certificate of occupancy for the Building or the Demised Premises; (B) Tenant’s failure to timely (1) provide the Outline Specifications and/or Construction Plans as required under Section 2.03 hereof (or Tenant’s failure to
act in accordance with Section 2.03 hereof in revising the same in accordance with the comments of Landlord or Landlord’s Consultants thereto), (2) approve or disapprove any prepurchase specifications or Long Lead Items set forth on
the Long Lead Item List, (3) approve or disapprove any aspect of the Fit-out Work which Landlord reasonably requests Tenant to approve on an expedited basis, or ( 4) approve (or disapprove) and designate the contractors to be selected in the
bid process as contemplated by Section 2.03B(iv) hereof, each in accordance with the applicable time limitations set forth in Section 2.03 hereof, or if no such time limitations are specified, within a reasonable time period; (C) the
effects of Change Orders requested by Tenant or as are reasonably necessary to effectuate Substantial Completion of the Fit-out Work, including the design and permitting thereof; (D) the failure of Tenant’s Construction Representative to
timely attend any walk-throughs or preliminary walk-throughs contemplated by Section 2.02E or to attend the coordination meetings contemplated in Section 13.03 hereof; (E) any unreasonable delay in the performance of work by a Person
employed by Tenant, including Tenant’s Architect; (F) the failure of Tenant to respond with reasonable promptness to any reasonable Landlord request for Tenant’s specific design requirements for any aspect of the Fit-out Work;
(G) the failure by

been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

Tenant to make any payment or perform any material obligation required under Section 2.03 prior to Substantial Completion of the Fit-out Work; (H) the failure by Tenant timely to
deliver or to cause to be delivered any installation or any item of furniture, fixtures or equipment, which it is Tenant’s obligation to order and deliver to the Building for installation therein by Landlord as part of the Fit-out Work (but the
foregoing shall not be construed as requiring Landlord to perform any FF&E Work unless the same is expressly included in the Construction Plans), or which would otherwise delay Landlord in the Substantial Completion of the Fit-out Work;
(I) if any dispute with respect to any matter under this Section 2.02 or Article 13 hereof is resolved or settled in favor of Landlord and such dispute causes (1) any delay in the Substantial Completion of the Base Building Work or
(2) any delay in the satisfaction of any of the Ready for Occupancy Conditions, (J) any failure of Tenant to timely provide a list of Punch List Items, and/or (K) any other Tenant Delay as specifically provided for in this Lease.
Tenant Delay will commence as provided below, but, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in no event shall Tenant Delay commence earlier than the actual activity or occurrence that causes such Tenant Delay and shall continue only through
the date that such activity or occurrence shall cease to constitute a Tenant Delay; provided however, (i) all simultaneous delays which constitute a Tenant Delay hereunder shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively and
shall not be “double” counted and (ii) Tenant Delay shall include any consequential delays caused by the initial Tenant Delay events which could constitute a Tenant Delay. 

(iii) Unless Tenant knew of or reasonably should have known of the circumstances giving rise to Tenant Delay and the fact of
Tenant Delay as evidenced by job minutes, correspondence, memoranda or other writings furnished to or issued by Tenant (which job minutes, correspondence, etc. specifically refer to such circumstances giving rise to a Tenant Delay and to the fact of
a Tenant Delay), Tenant shall not be charged for any Tenant Delay unless Landlord shall (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.03 hereof) have delivered notice to Tenant of such Tenant Delay within five (5) Business Days
after Landlord has actual knowledge of the circumstances giving rise to such Tenant Delay, which notice shall refer to the circumstances giving rise to such Tenant Delay. If notice is required as aforesaid, the period of Tenant Delay shall not
commence until the first Business Day after the date when such notice shall have been delivered to Tenant. 
 (iv)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in the event of any simultaneous occurrence of Tenant Delay with a delay occurring as a result of Force Majeure, for the duration of any such simultaneous occurrence, such delay shall
be deemed to be a Force Majeure delay only. 
 G. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, upon the date when the Ready for
Occupancy Conditions shall be satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein or the Occupancy Date otherwise occurs, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed for all purposes hereof that the Demised Premises shall have been Substantially Completed
and the Ready for Occupancy Conditions have been satisfied, subject to Landlord causing the completion of any Punch List Items relating thereto in the manner provided hereunder and complying with Landlord’s obligations with respect to latent
defects as provided Section 2.02E(iv). 
 H. Tenant acknowledges that at the time the Occupancy Date has occurred, until Substantial
Completion of any remaining Base Building Work, construction work will or may be continuing in all or part of the Building common areas and that the performance thereof may disturb Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of, and access to the Demised Premises
through, certain Building common areas. Until Substantial Completion of the Base Building Work, Tenant hereby accepts such conditions

as modifications and limitations on its right to use and access the Building common areas, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s access to and use and occupancy of the Premises in performing the Base Building Work
and shall perform all work and repairs diligently and in a workerlike manner and in compliance with Legal Requirements. 
 I.
Landlord agrees that in no event will the Base Building Criteria, the Base Building Work or the Design Guidelines be changed or modified in such a manner that would (a) reduce the usable area of the Demised Premises, or (b) upon completion
(as it relates to the Base Building Work) adversely affect (by more than a de minimis extent) Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Demised Premises as permitted hereunder or access to the Building, without the consent of Tenant, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
 2.03 A. (i) Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (except as otherwise
expressly provided herein), shall cause Tenant’s Architect to promptly prepare outline specifications and a space plan (collectively, the “Outline Specifications”) for the proposed Fit-out Work, which Outline Specifications
(a) shall also include a description of any alterations that would constitute a Material Tenant Change, the proposed location of the Rest Room Upgrade Work (and the components thereof) and a list of any potential Long Lead Items, (b) shall
not adversely affect the performance of any Base Building Work (beyond a de minimis extent), and (c) shall not include the purchase or installation of any FF&E Work or any programming of computer, telephone or other systems to be
installed as part of any FF&E Work or otherwise (unless, if included in the Outline Specifications, Landlord expressly agrees to the installation thereof). The Outline Specifications shall contain such specifications and layouts as Tenant
reasonable requires; provided however, and notwithstanding anything contained in the Outline Specifications or anything herein to the contrary, if the time period to Substantially Complete the Fit-out Work (including, without limitation, on
account of any changes and/or additions requested by Tenant thereto and approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof or any Change Orders) shall exceed five (5) months (as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion), Landlord
shall give Tenant notice thereof; it being agreed, in such event, that the Rent Commencement Date shall be advanced (i.e., moved forward) by one (1) day for each day of such excess, unless, not later than two (2) Business Days following
Landlord’s notice thereof, Tenant elects to modify the Outline Specifications to modify the portions thereof which cause the same to exceed a reasonably estimated five (5) month completion time. Tenant shall (a) substantially complete
the preparation of the Outline Specifications and deliver a copy thereof to Landlord no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the Execution Date and (b) make all changes thereto reasonably requested by Landlord and submit a
revised draft thereof to Landlord for its review within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s comments with respect thereto. 

(ii) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Landlord shall perform the Fit-out Work in order to prepare the Demised
Premises for Tenant’s initial occupancy thereof in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.03 and the Construction Rules and Regulations. In connection with Landlord’s performance of the Fit-out Work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
as Additional Rent, a separate supervisory fee in an amount equal to two and one half percent (21/2%) of the Costs of the Fit-out Work, which supervisory fee shall be included in the Costs of Fit-out Work; it being agreed that solely for the
purpose of calculating such supervisory fee that the Restroom Upgrade Costs (including the costs of any Change Orders relating to the Restroom Upgrade Work) shall be excluded from the Costs of the Fit-out Work.

 (iv) With reasonable promptness, but in no event later than eight
(8) weeks following Tenant’s after receipt of Landlord’s comments to the Outline Specifications, Tenant’s Architect shall prepare and deliver to Landlord for its review and approval an initial draft of one hundred percent ( 100%)
complete, biddable construction plans and specifications for the Fit-out Work (the “Construction Plans”) in accordance with the terms hereof. 

(v) Promptly after Landlord’s receipt of the initial or any revised draft of the Construction Plans, Landlord shall give
Tenant a notice setting forth (A) any specific comments that Landlord may have thereto, which comments may be marked on the initial or revised draft Construction Plans and (B) any portion of the Fit-out Work that would constitute a
Specialty Alteration or a Long Lead Item. Landlord’s review and approval of the Construction Plans shall be in accordance with the terms of Article 13 hereof. 

(vi) To the extent that Landlord has delivered any comments to the initial or any revised draft Construction Plans, Tenant
agrees to cause Tenant’s Architect to deliver to Landlord, no later than five (5) Business Days after receipt of such comments, revised draft(s) of the Construction Plans until the same are fully approved in accordance with the terms
hereof. 
 (vii) The Construction Plans must (a) be engineering and architecturally complete, (b) be coordinated
with the Base Building Criteria and existing Building conditions and facilities, (c) conform to all applicable Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements, (d) incorporate and elaborate upon any necessary phasing plan in order to create
a complete set of construction documents, (e) be materially consistent with the Outline Specifications (e.g., the work and installations set forth in the Construction Plans must not require additional time to perform or lead time to obtain than
the work and installations set forth in the Outline Specifications as reasonably determined by Landlord) and otherwise be materially consistent with all comments, corrections and changes thereto as agreed upon by Landlord’s and Tenant’s
Construction Representatives and (f) otherwise be prepared in accordance with the requirements set forth in Article 13 hereof. 

(viii) In the event that the Construction Plans contain any components of the Fit-out Work which materially differ from the
Outline Specifications, as so commented on, corrected or changed (e.g., the work and installations set forth in the Construction Plans require materially more time to perform or lead time to obtain than the work and installations set forth in the
Outline Specifications as reasonably determined by Landlord), any additional work required in connection therewith shall, if included in the Fit-out Work, shall constitute a Change Order. In the event of a conflict between the Outline Specifications
and the Construction Plans, the Construction Plans will govern and control with respect to the actual construction of the Fit-out Work. 

(ix) If, after Landlord has approved the Construction Plans but prior to Landlord putting such Construction Plans out to bid,
Tenant desires to make additional revisions to the Construction Plans, Tenant’s Architect shall prepare and deliver such revisions with reasonable promptness as soon as reasonably practical for Landlord’s review and approval. Without
limiting anything contained in this Section 2.03, any such

request shall (notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.02F hereof) constitute Tenant Delay hereunder whether or not the same actually delays Substantial Completion of
the Fit-out Work. 
 (x) Any changes to the Construction Plans required by the New York City Buildings Department or any
other Governmental Authority shall be incorporated into the Construction Plans by Tenant’s Architect. 
 (xi) Tenant
shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of Tenant’s Architect, which costs and expenses shall not be permitted to be included in the Costs of Fit-out Work, nor funded from the Work Allowance, the Rentalized Amount or the Excess Work
Allowance Amount. 
 (xii) All Long Lead Items identified on or prior to the completion and approval of the Construction
Plans shall be identified thereon (the “Long Lead Item List”). Tenant and Landlord may identify additional Long Lead Items to add to the Long Lead Item List in the event of changes in the Construction Plans, Change Orders or
availability of materials. In order to expedite completion of the Fit-out Work, Landlord may request Tenant provide pre-purchase specifications of items on the Long Lead Item List and/ or portions of the Fit-out Work prior to the approval the
Construction Plans. If Landlord makes such a request, Tenant shall submit to Landlord specific working drawings for the aspect of the Fit-out Work in question, together with a reasonably detailed description of the equipment or materials to be
purchased (model numbers, names of manufacturers, etc.) and, thereafter Landlord shall provide a detailed breakdown of the cost thereof for review by Tenant. Tenant shall approve or disapprove Landlord’s request within five (5) Business
Days after Tenant’s receipt thereof, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld if the same does not increase the estimated Costs of Fit-out Work by any more than a de minimis extent. If Tenant disapproves any such request, Tenant
shall thereafter approve or disapprove any revised request therefor within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of such revised request, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon Tenant’s approval of pre-purchase of
the items on the Long. Lead Item List, Landlord shall authorize the solicitation of bids therefor.

Orders (but without duplication), and all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the Fit-out Work. 

(ii) Except as provided in Section 2.02F with respect to Tenant Delays, Landlord shall pay the Costs of Fit-out Work in
the first instance, subject to Tenant’s obligation to pay the Additional Fixed Rent in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.01A(ii) hereof and any other Additional Rent payable by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this
Section 2.03, including on account of the Excess Work Allowance Amount. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall be

(to the extent not included in the Rentalized Amount) and Tenant Delays, which shall be paid by Tenant in accordance with the applicable terms hereof) in excess of the Work Allowance that Landlord is obligated to contribute to Tenant hereunder (the
first $******* of any such excess is referred to herein as the “Rentalized Amount” and any such excess above $****** is referred to herein as the “Excess Work Allowance Amount”), in the manner hereinafter provided.
If any portion of the Work Allowance has not been applied to the Costs of Fit-out Work after the completion of the Fit-out Work, such portion shall, provided Tenant is not in monetary default or material non-monetary default, in each instance,
beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, be credited against the next installment(s) of Fixed Rent payable hereunder. 

(iv) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Construction Plans have been finally approved by Landlord as provided herein,
Landlord shall solicit bids :from at least three (3) qualified general contractors for so-called “fixed price contracts” for the Fit-out Work based on consultation with Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to designate at least one
(1) of the general contractors :from whom Landlord shall solicit a bid, subject · to Landlord’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided such general contractor employs union labor. Subject to the

 (vi) If the proposed budget is not acceptable to Tenant, then within five
(5) Business Days after Tenant’s receipt of the proposed budget Tenant shall meet with Landlord and the designated bidder, and shall change the scope of the Fit-out Work and/or negotiate cost reductions with such bidder. In the event that
such discussions with Landlord and/or such negotiations with the designated bidder extend for more than five (5) Business Days, then (a) for each day beyond such five (5) Business Day period that such discussions and/or negotiations
extend, the Rent Commencement Date shall be accelerated by one (1) day. 
 (vii) If as a result of any discussions
and/or negotiations Tenant desires reductions in the scope of the Fit-out Work, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to modify the Construction Plans (by further revisions, bulletin or otherwise) as may be reasonably requested by Tenant for
review and approval by Landlord within three (3) Business Days after such reductions are agreed upon. Such modified Construction Plans (by further revisions, bulletin or otherwise) as approved by Landlord shall be deemed to supersede the
Construction Plans previously approved by Landlord for all purposes under this Lease. All costs of any modifications to the Construction Plans shall be added to the Costs of Fit-out Work. 

(viii) As soon as reasonably practicable after (a) Tenant has completed any scope reduction discussions with Landlord
and/or cost reduction discussions with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and (b) Tenant’s Architect has completed any modifications to the Construction Plans to reflect such modifications, as approved by Landlord, Landlord shall

Additional Fixed Rent payable pursuant to Section 3.01A(ii) shall be adjusted as therein provided and (y) the other sums payable pursuant to this Paragraph shall be appropriately adjusted. If any such adjusted Statement of Costs of Fit-out

the Fit-out Work diligently and in such manner as Landlord shall determine in its commercially reasonable discretion, consistent, however, with the Construction Plans and the provisions of this Section 2.03. 

D. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is causing the Fit-out Work to be performed solely as an accommodation to Tenant and, accordingly,
(i) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the design of the Premises (and the Fit-out Work) and the compliance thereof with applicable Legal Requirements, Insurance Requirements and the terms of this Lease; it being agreed that Landlord’s
sole obligation with respect thereto shall be to cause the Fit-out Work to be performed in accordance with the Construction Plans, with such modifications thereto as may be necessary as a result of field conditions, coordination with the Base
Building Work and such Change Orders as has been approved in accordance with the terms of Section 2.03E hereof, (ii) Landlord’s review of and/or approval of the Outline Specifications and/or any preliminary plans, final plans, shop
drawings, the Construction Plans or any other information relating to the construction and performance of the Fit-out Work shall not in any way be deemed to be an agreement or representation or warranty by Landlord that the Fit-out Work complies
with any Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements or satisfies any design criteria or intent desired by Tenant nor shall it be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of the compliance by Tenant with any provision of this Lease and (iii) Landlord
shall not have liability to Tenant for any loss, damage, liability or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any failure, inadequacy or defect in the Construction Plans and/or the Fit-out Work. To the extent permitted by the Person
providing such warranty or guaranty, Landlord shall name Tenant as an additional beneficiary under all written warranties and/or guaranties received by Landlord with respect to the Fit-out Work. 

E. Change Orders. 

(i) If Tenant desires any change, addition or alteration (each, a “Change Order”) in or to (a) the Scope
of the Work as shown on (1) the Outline Specifications, and/or (2) the Construction Plans, (b) the Restroom Upgrade Work and/or (c) any drawings, plans and/or specifications (to the extent that any such change under this clause
(c) would increase the cost of architectural, engineering or related services), Tenant shall submit a written request therefor. For the purposes of this Section 2.03E, any Tenant request that labor (premium, overtime or otherwise) be used
during hours other than 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Business Days which are not construction trade holidays (the “Fit-out Work Construction Hours”) in order to accelerate Substantial Completion of the Fit-out Work, shall also be
deemed a Change Order. 
 (ii) Landlord agrees with reasonable promptness after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s
request for a Change Order (including such time as may be necessary to obtain plans and specifications if the same are necessary in order to obtain cost estimates), to submit to Tenant a proposal, based upon reasonably detailed cost estimates,
specifying any increase in the Costs of Fit-out Work arising from such Change Order. The costs of any Change Order shall consist of all trade costs, the costs of bonds, the costs of general conditions, general contractor’s overhead and profit,
all other costs relating thereto, and all other costs to be incurred by Landlord as a result of the Change Order (without administrative markup or other premium) plus a Landlord supervisory fee equal to two and one half percent (2 1/2%) of
the costs of such

Change Order. Landlord’s proposal shall also include an estimate of the number of days of Tenant Delay, if any, which would be incurred by Tenant in connection with such proposal. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord shall in no event be bound by any estimate(s) of the hard and/or soft costs of any such Change Order or the estimate of any Tenant Delay and Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant if any of such estimate( s) shall
be incorrect for any reason. 
 (iii) Upon receipt of Landlord’s proposal, Tenant shall have a reasonable period of time
(given the cost of the Change Order as set forth in Landlord’s proposal), but not to exceed five (5) Business Days, to notify Landlord of its election (a) to accept such proposal or (b) to withdraw its request for such Change
Order. If Landlord has not received notice from Tenant of Tenant’s acceptance of such proposal (accompanied by any required payment) within such time limit, Tenant’s request shall be deemed withdrawn. 

(iv) In the event that (a) Tenant shall (after receipt of such proposal) have requested a Change Order, (b) Landlord
shall have incurred architectural, engineering and related costs in order to prepare a proposal in response to such request, and (c) Tenant thereafter elects to withdraw such request or such request is thereafter deemed withdrawn, then Tenant
shall pay, as Additional Rent, Landlord for the reasonable, actual amount of such architectural, engineering and related costs incurred by or on behalf of Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice
therefor. 
 (v) If Tenant accepts Landlord’s proposal and elects to proceed with any Change Order, then (a) the
reasonable, actual amount of the increased costs of the Fit-out Work arising from such Change Order as the same are specified in Landlord’s proposal shall be added to the Costs of Fit-Out Work, (b) Landlord, with reasonable promptness
after receipt of Tenant’s notice of acceptance and receipt of Tenant’s payment, shall perform the Change Order with diligence and continuity, and (c) the Commencement Date shall be deemed accelerated by the number of days of Tenant
Delay incurred due to such Change Order, including as contemplated by Section 2.03E(vi) hereof. 
 (vi) Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (a) the parties hereto acknowledge that any request by Tenant for the performance of any Change Order may cause a Tenant Delay, whether or not such Fit-out Work Change is actually performed (i.e., Landlord may
be required, consistent with good construction practices and/or scheduling, to cease and/or delay the performance of a portion of the Fit-out Work until it has been determined, upon and subject to the terms of this Section, whether such Fit-out Work
Change shall be performed) and (b) accordingly, if any such request by Tenant for the performance of a Change Order (regardless of whether such Change Order is performed, including Tenant’s failure to confirm such request in the manner set
forth above), then such delay shall be a Tenant Delay purposes Lease. 
 F. Tenant acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Base Building Work shall have absolute priority over the Fit-out Work but the foregoing shall not relieve Landlord of its obligation to cause the Fit-out Work to be commenced and prosecuted with due diligence in
accordance with the terms hereof.

 G. To the extent that the same shall not interfere with the performance of the Base Building
Work, the Fit-out Work or any other alterations being performed by or on behalf of Landlord in the Building, as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion, Tenant shall be permitted to enter the Premises beginning approximately two (2) weeks
prior to the date on which Landlord’s Work is anticipated to be Substantially Complete solely to perform the FF&E Work simultaneously with the performance by Landlord of the Fit-out Work. If, however, Landlord determines that the FF&E
Work is causing more than a de minimis interference with the Base Building Work or the Fit-out Work, Tenant shall discontinue such work and shall not be permitted to perform such work until the earlier of the Commencement Date or such time as
Landlord determines that such FF&E Work will no longer cause such interference. Tenant and Landlord each agrees to (a) cooperate with the other in the performance and scheduling of the Fit-out Work and the FF&E Work and (b) keep
each other apprised of their respective work so as to facilitate the scheduling, coordination and orderly progress of such work, but in no event shall Landlord be obligated to employ overtime labor in connection therewith or to incur any costs in
connection therewith in excess of the costs it would have incurred absent such coordination of the Fit-out Work with the FF&E Work. Tenant agrees that in the performance of the FF&E Work or otherwise, (i) neither Tenant, any Tenant
Party nor their respective agents or employees shall interfere with the performance of the Base Building Work, the Fit-out Work or any other alterations being performed by or on behalf of Landlord at the Building, (ii) Tenant shall comply with
any work schedule, rules and regulations established by Landlord, its agents or employees in connection therewith, and (iii) the labor employed by Tenant shall be harmonious and compatible with the labor employed by Landlord in the Building, it
being agreed that if in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the labor employed by Tenant is incompatible, Tenant shall immediately upon Landlord’s demand withdraw such labor from the Building. Tenant’s access to the Premises prior to the
Commencement Date for the purposes permitted in this Section 2.030 shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease (but excluding Tenant’s obligation to pay Fixed Rent or Recurring Additional Rent pursuant to the terms
hereof). 
 H. After Substantial Completion of the Fit-out Work Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense to
obtain a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Demised Premises for Tenant’s intended use of the Demised Premises as permitted hereunder (but subject to the limitations set forth in Article 5 hereof (herein “Tenant’s
TCO”). Landlord acknowledges that Tenant shall have the right to apply for a Tenant’s TCO for up to the maximum number of people permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, and Landlord shall (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense)
cooperate with Tenant as may be reasonably necessary in order to enable Tenant to secure Tenant’s TCO. In connection with obtaining Tenant’s TCO, Tenant shall be required to use, in Tenant’s discretion, either JAM or Landlord’s
Consultant. Landlord agrees that any permanent certificate of occupancy obtained by Landlord shall be for no less than the number of people allowed by Tenant’s TCO, unless a lesser number of people is required by applicable Legal Requirements.

 I. (i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the work necessary to Substantially Complete the Ready for Occupancy
Conditions has not been satisfied (or deemed satisfied) as provided herein by the date which is twelve (12) months following final approval of the Construction Plans, as such date may be extended on account of any Tenant Delay and/or by Force
Majeure, then Tenant may (as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy), within thirty (30) days (time being of the essence) after such date (as such date may be extended as set forth above), upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Landlord,
cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date set forth such notice. If Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section, this Lease shall terminate as of such termination date as if such date were the Stated Expiration
Date of this Lease. If Tenant shall timely deliver such termination notice, but the Commencement Date shall occur within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s termination notice, then such notice and Tenant’s

been requested with respect to the omitted portions. 









 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED by Markit Ltd. 

 

 
election to terminate this Lease shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. 

(ii) Each of the dates set forth in this Section 2.031, shall be (A) extended on a day-for-day basis for each day of
(A) Tenant Delay and (B) Force Majeure delays; it being agreed, however, that any such extension of such dates is not intended to be cumulative (or “double counted”), and that if more than one Tenant Delay or more than one Force
Majeure event would actually delay Landlord in satisfying the Ready for Occupancy Conditions, but such events and the delays caused by them occur simultaneously, then, to the extent of such simultaneous occurrence, such delays (whether caused by
Tenant Delays, by Force Majeure or both) shall be deemed to run concurrently and not consecutively and, in the event of the simultaneous occurrence of (x) Tenant Delay and (y) a Force Majeure delay, any such simultaneous occurrence shall,
for the purposes of Section 2.02F(ii) hereof, be deemed to be a Force Majeure delay and not a Tenant Delay. 
 2.04 Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, (i) Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work or provide any work allowance or services in or to the Demised Premises in order to prepare the same for occupancy by Tenant, (ii) Landlord has not made
and does not make any representations or warranties with respect to the Premises and (iii) Tenant agrees to take the Premises in its then “as is” condition on the Commencement Date, subject to Landlord’s obligation to complete
any Punch List items and remedy latent defects as provided herein. 
 2.05 Promptly after the Commencement Date and the Rent Commencement
Date are determined, Landlord and Tenant, at either Landlord’s or Tenant’s request, will execute a Milestone Date Agreement with respect to any or each of the above dates. Tenant’s or Landlord’s failure or refusal to sign the
same shall in no event affect the determination of such dates or either party’s obligations hereunder. 
 2.06 Tenant expressly
(a) waives any right to rescind this Lease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or under any present or future statute of similar import then in force and (b) waives the right to recover any damages, direct or
indirect, which may result from Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of the Premises or to grant access to the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date, except as provided in Section 2.03H hereof. Tenant agrees that the
provisions of this Section 2.06 are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of said Section 223-a. 

ARTICLE 3 
 RENT 

3.01 A. Subject to the terms hereof, during the Term of this Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord annual fixed minimum rent
(the “Fixed Rent”) in lawful money of the United States at the following rates: 
 (i) (A) subject to the
provisions of Section 3.01B hereof, $********** per annum from the Rent Commencement Date through and including the last day of the month in which occurs the fifth (5th) anniversary of the RCD (the “First Rent Period”),
payable in equal monthly installments of $*********; 

  
 33 

*** Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has 

been requested with respect to the omitted portions. 









 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED by Markit Ltd. 

 

 (B) $*********** per annum from day immediately following the last day of the
First Rent Period through and including the Stated Expiration Date (the “Second Rent Period”), payable in equal monthly installments of $*********; and 

(C) for the Extension Term which may become effective pursuant to Article 39 hereof, Fixed Rent in such amount as is determined
pursuant to Article 39 hereof. 
 (ii) An amount (the “Additional Fixed Rent”) commencing on the Rent
Commencement Date, equal to the sum of (a) the Rentalized Amount and (b) interest at seven percent (7%) per annum on the Rentalized Amount commencing on the date of the deemed funding thereof (which shall be after the date of the
funding by Landlord of the Work Allowance), which sum shall be payable monthly in equal, level installments of the Rentalized Amount and interest at such rate sufficient to amortize the Rentalized Amount on a self-liquidating basis fully by the
Stated Expiration Date. The amount of Additional Fixed Rent shall initially be determined in accordance with the initial Statement of Costs of Fit-out Work Amount delivered by Landlord pursuant to Section 2.03B(ix) hereof. If Landlord delivers
a subsequent Statement of Costs of Fit-out Work Amount pursuant to Section 2.03B(ix) hereof, the then remaining monthly payments of Additional Fixed Rent payable in accordance with this Section 3.01A(ii) shall be appropriately adjusted.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to elect by notice given to Landlord no later than thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date to pay the entire amount of the Rentalized Amount in a single lump sum payment. In
the event that Tenant so elects, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (i) such entire amount of the Rentalized Amount no later than thirty (30) days following the Rent Commencement Date and (ii) in full the amount of any additional sums
payable by Tenant as shown on a subsequent Statement of Costs of Fit-out Work Amount (relating solely to the Rentalized Amount) within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. If this Lease shall be terminated for any reason prior to the Stated
Expiration Date, the entire unpaid amount of the Rentalized Amount, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date the same was deemed funded until the date repaid, shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord as
Additional Rent within thirty (30) days thereafter, which obligation shall survive the sooner termination of this Lease. 
 B. Provided
that Tenant is not otherwise in monetary or material non-monetary default hereunder, in each instance beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, a portion of the Fixed Rent in the amount of $******** per month, payable during
the First Rent Period, shall be abated from the Rent Commencement Date through and including December 31, 2008 (the “Abatement Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall continue to be obligated during the Abatement
Period to pay the remainder of Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent and other charges payable by Tenant hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Lease. 

C. If the Rent Commencement Date shall occur on a date other than the first (1st) day of any calendar month, then the Fixed Rent
and any Additional Rent payable pursuant to this Lease for such calendar month shall be prorated on a per diem basis based on the actual number of days in such month. 

D. Tenant agrees to pay the Fixed Rent in equal monthly installments in advance, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the
Term commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, at the office of Landlord or such other place as Landlord may designate, without any set-off, offset, abatement or deduction whatsoever, except such set-offs, offsets, abatements or deductions (if

any) to which Tenant may be entitled pursuant to the express terms of this Lease. At the request of Landlord or Tenant, Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent shall be payable when due by wire
transfer of funds to an account designated in writing from time to time by Landlord. If Landlord shall direct Tenant to pay Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent by wire transfer, then Tenant shall not be in default of Tenant’s obligation to
pay any such rent if and for so long as Tenant shall timely comply with Landlord’s wire instructions in connection with such payments. Accordingly, if Tenant shall have timely complied with Landlord’s instructions pertaining to a wire
transfer, but the funds shall thereafter have been misdirected or not accounted for properly by the recipient bank designated by Landlord, then the same shall not relieve Tenant’s obligation to make the payment so wired, but shall toll the due
date for such payment until the wired funds shall have been located. 
 E. Whenever this Lease shall provide that Landlord or Tenant shall
pay the out-of- pocket costs of the other party, such out-of-pocket costs shall be commercially reasonable and (i) whenever a party requests reimbursement for its out-of-pocket costs, such party shall deliver to the requesting party bills,
receipts, invoices or other documentation reasonably evidencing such costs, and (ii) in the event such documentation is not so delivered with five (5) days after request thereof, the time periods set forth herein with respect to any such
payments shall be tolled until five (5) days after delivery to the requesting party of such documentation. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.01D, any Additional Rent for which no time period is expressly provided in this Lease
for the payment thereof, shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after demand from Landlord. 
 F. Any Additional Rent for
which no time period is expressly provided in this Lease for the payment thereof, shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after demand from Landlord. 

3.02 All adjustments of rent, costs, charges and expenses which Tenant is obligated to pay pursuant to this Lease shall be deemed Additional
Rent which Tenant covenants to pay when due. In the event of nonpayment of any Additional Rent, Landlord shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies that Landlord has hereunder or at law or in equity, have all the rights and remedies with
respect thereto as is herein provided for in case of nonpayment of Fixed Rent. All Rent shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, without offset, reduction, counterclaim and/or deduction and shall be in
lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment. 

3.03 Tenant shall pay to Landlord in respect of any amounts payable hereunder to Landlord (including Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and
sums advanced by Landlord hereunder to cure a default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period by Tenant in the performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder) which shall not have been paid on the date which is five
(5) Business Days after the date when due (regardless of any notice or cure period therefor) (each, an “Overdue Payment”), interest at the Interest Rate on such Overdue Payment from such fifth (5th) Business Day until paid;
provided, however, from and after the third (3rd) default in any calendar year in the payment of any Rent, interest on any Overdue Payment with respect to such third (3rd) default and any subsequent default that occurs during
the twelve (12) month period following such third (3rd) default shall be at the Interest Rate plus two percent (2%) per annum and shall accrue from the date due (as opposed to the fifth (5th) Business Day thereafter). Such
aforesaid charges shall be due and payable, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand for payment therefor by Landlord. No failure by Landlord to insist upon the strict performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations to pay
such Overdue Payment or interest thereon shall constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to enforce the provisions of this Section 3.03. The provisions of this Section 3.03 shall not be construed in any way to

been requested with respect to the omitted portions. 









 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED by Markit Ltd. 

 

 
extend any cure or notice periods with respect to the payment of Rent as provided in Section 20.01A hereof or any other provision of this Lease. 

3.04 If any of the Rents payable under the terms of this Lease shall be or become uncollectible, reduced or required to be refunded because of
any rent control, federal, state or local law, regulation, proclamation or other Legal Requirement not currently in effect, Tenant shall enter into such agreement(s) and take such other steps (without additional expense to Tenant or the acceleration
of any expense payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder) as Landlord may reasonably request and as may be legally permissible to permit Landlord to collect the maximum rent which, from time to time, during the continuance of such legal rent
restriction may be legally permissible (and not in excess of the amounts then reserved therefor under this Lease). Upon the termination of any such legal rent restriction, (a) the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall become and shall thereafter
be payable in accordance with the amounts reserved herein for the periods following such termination and (b) Tenant shall promptly pay in full to Landlord unless expressly prohibited by law, an amount equal to (i) rentals which would have
been paid pursuant to this Lease for the period during which such restriction applied but for such legal rent restriction less (ii) the rent actually paid by Tenant during the period such legal rent restriction was in effect. 

3.05 If Landlord at any time receives from Tenant any payment less than the sum of the Rent then due and owing from Tenant pursuant to this
Lease or Tenant is otherwise in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Tenant hereby waives its right, if any, to designate the items to which such payment shall be applied and agrees that
Landlord in its sole discretion may apply such payment in whole or in part to any of the Rent or any other sums then due and payable hereunder. No endorsement or statement on any check and no letter accompanying any check or payment (or instructions
accompanying any wire transfer) shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment (or wire transfer) without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance due hereunder or pursue any other right or
remedy provided for in this Lease or available at law or in equity. 
 3.06 If, at any time after the Commencement Date but prior to the
Rent Commencement Date, Tenant is entitled to an abatement of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.07 A hereof or under Article 17 or Article 18 hereof, then the amount of any such abatement (such amount to
be equal to the Rent that would have been due and payable during the abatement period had the Rent Commencement Date occurred on the same date as the Commencement Date) shall be credited against the first Rent becoming due hereunder after the
occurrence of the Rent Commencement Date.

(iv) “Tax Base Year” shall mean calendar year 2008.

as herein provided on account thereof (unless Tenant has not timely paid Tenant’s Tax Payment or Tenant’s BID Payment as required hereunder) (the items set forth in clauses
(1) through (4) above, except as contemplated by the next sentence are, collectively referred to herein as the “Excluded Taxes”). If at any time after the Execution Date, the methods of taxation prevailing as of the date
hereof shall be altered so that in lieu of or as a substitute for the whole or any part of the taxes, assessments, rents, rates, charges, levies or impositions now assessed, levied or imposed upon all or any part of the Unit and/or Landlord’s
undivided interest in the Common Elements or any part thereof, there shall be assessed, levied or imposed (1) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge based on the income or rents received therefrom whether or not wholly or partially as a
capital levy or otherwise, or (2) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon all or any part of the Unit and/or Landlord’s undivided interest in the Common Elements, or (3) a license
fee measured by the rents, or (4) any other tax, assessment, levy, imposition, charge or license fee with respect to the Unit and/or Landlord’s undivided interest in the Common Elements, or any part thereof, however described or imposed,
then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, charges or license fees or the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be Taxes, as applicable; provided, however, that any tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge
imposed on income from the Unit and/or Landlord’s undivided interest in the Common Elements, or any part thereof, shall be calculated as if the Unit is the sole asset of Landlord. 

Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, in the event Landlord is required, prior to the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date to
pay Full Taxes under the Unit Ground Lease rather than PILOT or the PILOT program for the Unit is otherwise terminated (a) as a result of Tenant’s acts or omissions, then, from and after the date that Landlord is required to pay Full
Taxes, for the purposes of calculating the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder, all references in the definition of Taxes to PILOT shall be deemed to be Full Taxes, (b) as a result of Landlord’s acts or omissions, then for the
purposes of calculating the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder, (i) until the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date PILOT shall be deemed to be equal to the amount of PILOT (on a Taxable Square Foot [as defined in the Unit Ground Lease]
basis) for each Tax Year set forth in Schedule 1 of the Unit Ground Lease and (ii) thereafter Full Taxes and (c) for any reason other than as a result of Tenant’s or Landlord’s acts or omissions, then Landlord shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to contest such termination and/or to look to The City of New York for recovery of any such excess amounts pursuant to the indemnity from the City pursuant to that certain Site 8 South Project Agreement, dated as of
December 12,2001, by and among ESDC, the City, 42DP, NYTB, NYT Real Estate Company and FC Lion LLC, as the same may have heretofore been, or may hereafter be, amended; if the termination of the PILOT program for the Unit is upheld and the City
indemnity is held to be invalid, in both cases, pursuant to the final, unappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, then, for the purposes of calculating the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder, the amount Tenant shall be
required to pay to Landlord (retroactive to the date of such early termination) on account of PILOT (until the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date) shall be deemed equal to the sum of (1) the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment which would have
been payable if the PILOT program was still in effect, plus (2) fifty percent (50%) of the positive difference between (A) the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment calculated with reference to Full Taxes (as opposed to PILOT)
less (B) the amount of Tenant’s Tax Payment as calculated under clause (1) above. 
 (vi) “Tax
Year” shall mean the period from and after the Rent Commencement Date through the following December 31 (i.e., the end of the calendar year) and each successive calendar year throughout the Term; provided, however, from

 (ii) Estimated
Tax Statement. At any time before or after the commencement of any Tax Year, Landlord may furnish to Tenant a statement (“Estimated Tax Statement”) of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax

amount of such overpayment on the revised Estimated Tax Statement for such Tax Year. If, at the time Landlord receives any such credit or refund, Tenant is then in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure

(iii) Tax Statement. If Taxes for any Tax Year after the Tax Base Year shall be less than the amount reflected on the
last-issued Estimated Tax Statement for such Tax Year, Landlord shall (and in any other case Landlord may) within sixty (60) days after the end of such Tax Year issue a statement of Taxes for such Tax Year, including a computation of

Proportionate Tax Share of the amount of such credit, as and when received by Landlord, against the next subsequent payments of Rent until such credit is fully applied, or (2) if such decrease will give rise to a cash refund from the taxing
authority to Landlord, Landlord shall refund to Tenant Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of the amount of such overpayment within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord of such refund. If, at the time Landlord receives any such credit
or refund, Tenant is then in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such credit or refund payable to Tenant against amounts due and owing by Tenant to Landlord.

 (iii) BID Statement. If, for any Tax Year, the BID Assessment shall be less than the amount reflected on the

Year and/or (b) any BID Assessment, Landlord, at its option, shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.02B(ii) or 4.02C(ii) hereof, as applicable, either pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt by Landlord, or allow
Tenant a credit against subsequent payments of Rent (but following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Landlord shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.02B(ii) or 4.02C(ii) hereof, as applicable, pay to Tenant) an
amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of such reduction or refund in respect of Taxes and/or the BID Assessment, as applicable, after deducting from such refund (to the extent not already netted out of the net refund) the reasonable
costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in obtaining the same, but the amount of such refund or credit to Tenant shall not exceed Tenant’s Tax Payment or Tenant’s BID Payment theretofore paid for such Tax Year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor, Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of any actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in contesting in good faith any items comprising Taxes or a BID Assessment and/or

 (ii) Taxes Payable by Tenant. Tenant shall pay any occupancy tax or
rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and payable by Tenant on or before the date such taxes and assessments are due in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. Should any Governmental Authority require that a tax, other than the taxes

payable to the appropriate Governmental Authority, in which case, Landlord shall, promptly after receipt thereof from Tenant, pay the same to the appropriate Governmental Authority. 

(iii) Discounts. If Landlord receives a discount for early payment or prepayment of Taxes or a BID Assessment or is
entitled to an abatement or exemption therefrom, Tenant shall be entitled to Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of the benefit of any such discount for any early payment or prepayment of Taxes or a BID Assessment and of any exemption or abatement
relating to all or any part of the Unit and/or Landlord’s interest in the Common Elements, provided that Tenant paid to Landlord Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share of such tax installment, or BID Assessment, as applicable, earning such
discount prior to the last day for payment of the tax installment or BID Assessment, as applicable, to the relevant taxing authority in order to earn such discount (and Landlord hereby agrees that if Tenant pays early (and all other tenants of the
Unit also pay early), Landlord agrees to pay early in order to receive the benefit of the available discount). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be entitled to any discount, credit or other benefit in respect of Taxes or a BID
Assessment on account of any credit or offset provided in Section 3.1(b)(ii) of the Unit Ground Lease. 
 (iv)

and/or Tenant’s BID Payment, as the case may be, is payable. Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering an Estimated Tax Statement or a Tax Statement or an Estimated BID Statement or BID Statement, as the case may be, with respect
to any Tax Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render the same with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent Tax Year nor shall the rendering of a Tax Statement or BID Statement for any Tax Year prejudice Landlord,
provided that Landlord renders the Estimated Tax Statement, Tax Statement, Estimated BID Statement or BID Statement in question within two (2) years after the end of the Tax Year in question or, with respect to Taxes or BID Assessments which

be, in the number of RSF in the Unit after the Tax Adjustment Date, provided that Landlord shall apply a consistent measurement standard to the Unit and the Demised Premises. No such sale or acquisition shall change the definition of Taxes contained
herein nor cause the PILOT program to terminate prior to the Scheduled PILOT Conversion Date.

 (38) any payments received by Landlord for recyclable materials and waste

(40) costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, sale, financing or other disposition of air rights, transferable

(44) costs of acquiring, leasing, insuring, restoring, removing or replacing (i) sculptures, (ii) paintings and
(iii) other objects of art located within or outside the Building, except the cost of routine cleaning and maintenance of such objects in the public areas of the Building may be included in Operating Expenses;

 (53) costs and expenses, including, without limitation legal fees, incurred
in connection with the enforcement of leases and occupancy agreements, and/or suits brought by tenants with respect to their leases or occupancy agreements, including, without limitation, disbursements in connection with any summary proceeding to
dispossess any tenant or occupant; and 
 (54) any amounts resulting from Landlord’s failure to meet its legal or
contractual obligations (e.g., failure to pay taxes, defaults under leases or agreements, etc.). 
 If during all or part of any Operating Expense
Year (including the Base Operating Expense Year), any particular item(s) of work or service is not furnished (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense hereunder) to the Unit (or the Building) due to the fact that less than the entire
leasable space of the Unit is occupied or leased (even if portions of the Unit are not yet ready for occupancy or lease), then, for purposes of computing Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year, the amount included in Operating Expenses
for such item(s) for such period shall be deemed to be increased to reflect the variable Operating Expense costs that would have been payable had the Unit been ninety five percent (95%) occupied for the entire Operating Expense Year or which
would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had furnished such item(s) of work or service to the Unit or portion thereof, as the case may be. Without limiting the foregoing, it shall be assumed that all services in
respect of the Unit are in place and fully costed (e.g., discounts for the initial period of multi-year contracts shall be appropriately adjusted). Similarly, if during all or part of any Operating Expense Year (including the Base Operating
Expense Year), Landlord shall not furnish any particular item(s) of work or service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense hereunder) to the Unit due to the fact that such item(s) of work or service is not required or desired by the
tenant of such portion or such tenant is itself obtaining and providing such item(s) of work or service, then, for purposes of computing Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year, the amount included in Operating Expenses for such item(s)
for such period shall be increased to reflect the variable Operating Expense costs that would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord, if it had furnished such item(s) of work or service to the Unit or portion thereof. Further,
with respect to the calculation of the Base Year Operating Expenses only, if and to the extent certain expenses are incurred with respect to only a portion of the Base Operating Expense Year, then such expenses shall be annualized to more closely
approximate the cost that will be incurred for such expense over the course of the subsequent full year. 
 To the extent that at any time during the
three (3) year period after the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord adds one or more new categories of Operating Expenses not included in the Base Year Operating Expenses, then, for so long as expenses relating to such new categories are included
in Operating Expenses, the Base Year Operating Expenses shall be increased by amount equal to (a) the amount included in Operating Expenses for such new category of Operating Expenses in such first Operating Expense Year (it being understood
that Landlord shall have no obligation to refund any amounts to Tenant for prior Operating Expense Years solely by reason of any such increase of the Base Year Operating Expenses) reduced by (b) the percentage increase in the CPI, if any, from
the first month of the Base Operating Expense Year to the first month of the Operating Expense Year with respect to which such amounts are first included in Operating Expenses. By way of example, (i) if the CPI has increased by 10%, in the
aggregate, since the Base Operating Expense Year, and (ii) the new category costs are $***** per annum in such first Operating Expense Year, then the Operating Expenses for the Base Operating Expense Year shall be increased by $**** per annum
on account of such new category.

 (iv) “Operating Expense Year” shall mean, for purposes of
determining • Operating Expenses, each calendar year all or any part of which shall fall within the Term. 
 (v)
“Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share” shall be computed on the basis of a fraction, the numerator of which is the RSF area, from time to time, of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the total RSF area of
the Unit (excluding from the denominator all RSF of the 28th floor included in the Unit and Roof Top Garden portions of the Unit and all lower level storage space in the Building). As of the Execution Date, (A) the RSF of the Premises for the
purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share during the Initial Term shall be deemed to be 31,753 RSF and (B) Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share is 4.535% subject to adjustment in the event Tenant
leases any other space in the Unit. 
 B. Computations. 

(i) Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment. Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount (“Tenant’s Operating
Expense Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share of the amount by which Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year exceeds the Base Year Operating Expenses commencing on the later of (a) the Rent
Commencement Date or (b) January 1, 2009. 
 (ii) Estimated Operating Expense Statement. At any time before
or after the commencement of any Operating Expense Year, Landlord may render to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment for such Operating Expense Year
(“Estimated Operating Expense Statement”) and the amount shown thereon (the “Tenant’s Estimated Operating Expense Payment”) shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in twelve (12) equal monthly installments
on the first day of each month during the Operating Expense Year (but the first payment on account of the Tenant’s Estimated Operating Expense Payment shall not be due and payable until thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of such
Estimated Operating Expense Statement). If, however, Landlord shall furnish such Estimated Operating Expense Statement for any Operating Expense Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (a) until the first day of the month following
the month in which such Estimated Operating Expense Statement is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable under this Section 4.03B in respect of the
last month of the preceding Operating Expense Year, (b) after such Estimated Operating Expense Statement is furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of Tenant’s
Operating Expense Payment previously made for such Operating Expense Year pursuant to clause (a) of this sentence were greater or less than the installments of Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment to be made for such Operating Expense Year
in accordance with such Estimated Operating Expense Statement, and (1) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor or (2) subject to the provisions of the last
sentence of this Section 4.03B(ii), if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s option, pay to Tenant together with such notice, or credit against the next subsequent payments of Rent, the amount thereof
(together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate if the amount of the overpayment is more than 3%); and (c) on the first day of the second month following the month in which such Estimated Operating Expense Statement is furnished to Tenant,
and monthly thereafter throughout the remainder of such Operating Expense Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Estimated Operating Expense Payment shown on such Estimated Operating Expense Statement.
Landlord may, from

time to time, furnish to Tenant one or more revised Estimated Operating Expense Statements for such Operating Expense Year, and, in such case, Tenant’s payments under this Section on account
of such Operating Expense Year shall be adjusted and paid or credited, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the immediately preceding sentence. If, at the time Tenant becomes entitled to any refund or credit of an
Operating Expense Payment, Tenant is then in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord may offset the amount of such credit or refund payable to Tenant against amounts properly due and owing
by Tenant to Landlord. 
 (iii) Operating Expense Statement. Within two hundred seventy (270) days after the end
of each Operating Expense Year after the expiration of the Base Operating Expense Year), Landlord shall issue a statement of Operating Expenses for such Operating Expense Year, including a computation of Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment for
such Operating Expense Year (each, an “Operating Expense Statement”). If Tenant’s Estimated Operating Expense Payments shall have been less than Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment, the deficiency shall be payable by Tenant
to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Operating Expense Statement. If Tenant’s Estimated Operating Expense Payment shall have been more than Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment, the overpayment (together with
interest thereon at the Prime Rate if the amount of the overpayment is more than 3%), shall, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.03(B)(ii), at Landlord’s option, be credited by Landlord against Tenant’s next subsequent payments
of Rent or paid to Tenant together with such Operating Expense Statement. 
 (iv) Partial Operating Expense Year;
Delay. Tenant’s liability under this Section 4.03B with respect to the Operating Expense Year in which Tenant is first obligated to make an Operating Expense Payment hereunder and with respect to the Operating Expense Year in which
this Lease shall expire or (except on account of Tenant’s default) terminate shall be computed on a pro rata basis based on the actual number of days in the period for which Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment is payable.
Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering an Estimated Operating Expense Statement or an Operating Expense Statement with respect to any Operating Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render the same
with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent Operating Expense Year nor shall the rendering of an Operating Expense Statement for any Operating Expense Year prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a corrected Operating Expense
Statement for such Operating Expense Year, provided that Landlord renders the Operating Expense Statement in question within two (2) years after the end of the Operating Expense Year in question, except in the case of the Operating Expense Year
in which the Expiration Date occurs, in which event such Operating Expense Statement must be rendered within one (1) year after the Expiration Date. 

(v) Adjustments due to the Sale or Acquisition of Unit(s). In the event that Landlord shall sell its interest in any of
the condominium units comprising the Unit to a third party (other than a Landlord Affiliate) or acquire any additional units in the Building during the Term, then, with respect to the calculation of any Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment
required to be made by Tenant from and after the date such sale or acquisition, as the case may be, (a) an appropriate (1) reduction in the Base Year Operating Expenses, in the case of a sale or (2) an appropriate increase in the Base
Year Operating Expenses in the case of an acquisition shall be made by Landlord and Tenant to reflect the amount of Operating Expenses that were incurred or paid during the Base Operating Expense Year with respect to only the portion of the Unit
that is within the tax lot(s) owned (or leased pursuant to the Unit Ground Lease) by Landlord after the 

  
 52

date of such sale and (b) an appropriate modification to Tenant’s Proportionate Operating Expense Share shall be made by Landlord and Tenant to reflect the reduction or increase, as the
case may be, in the number of RSF in the Unit after the date of such sale, provided that Landlord shall apply a consistent measurement standard to the Unit and the Demised Premises. 

4.04 A. Tenant, upon notice given within one hundred fifty (150) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Landlord’s Statement, may
elect to have an Approved Examiner designated (in such notice) by Tenant examine such of Landlord’s books and records (collectively “Records”) as are relevant to such Landlord’s Statement, together with reasonable
supporting data therefor (including Records for the Base Operating Year Expenses relating to Operating Expenses), such examination to occur during Business Hours and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Landlord, and which
shall commence not later than thirty (30) days following the date of Tenant’s notice, as such date may be extended on a day for day basis to the extent Landlord unreasonably delays Tenant’s access to the Records following
Tenant’s request therefor or due to Force Majeure. An “Approved Examiner” shall be (a) a certified public accountant or other qualified professional who is a member of an independent certified public accounting firm or
other qualified professional services firm having at least fifteen (15) professionals or (b) an employee of Tenant, who, in each instance, is not (and whose firm is not) being compensated by Tenant, in whole or in part, on a contingency or
success fee basis and, which Approved Examiner reviewing such records is not and has not during the Term (or the three (3) year period prior thereto) been Affiliated with, a shareholder, an officer, director, partner, member or employee of, any
managing agent of the Building or Landlord or any Landlord Entity. As a condition to Tenant’s right to review the Records, Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the applicable Landlord’s Statement in question;
provided that the payment of such sums shall be without prejudice to Tenant’s rights under Section 4.04D hereof. If Tenant shall not give such notice within such one hundred fifty (150) day period, then such Landlord’s Statement
shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant. 
 B. Landlord hereby agrees to maintain and preserve its Records with respect to (i) the
Base Operating Year Expenses, until the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, and (ii) for each subsequent Operating Year, for a period of at least three (3) years following the delivery of the Operating Expense Statement
with respect thereto or such longer period as any dispute and/or audit in respect of such Records may be ongoing. 
 C. Tenant and
Tenant’s employees, accountants and agents (including the Approved Examiner) shall treat all Records as confidential, and, as a condition to any review of the Records, shall confirm such confidentiality obligation in writing by executing a
confidentiality agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 4.04C (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, have the right to obtain copies and/or make abstracts of
the Records as it may reasonably request in connection with its verification of any Landlord’s Statement reviewed in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement. 

D. Tenant may, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date on which the Records are made available to Tenant, as required herein,
send a notice (“Tenant’s Statement”) to Landlord that Tenant disagrees with the applicable Landlord’s Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for Tenant’s disagreement and Tenant’s reasonable
estimate of the amount of Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment, Tenant’s Tax Payment and/or Tenant’s BID Payment, as applicable, that Tenant claims is due. If Tenant fails timely to deliver a Tenant’s Statement, then such
Landlord’s Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. If Tenant timely delivers a Tenant’s Statement, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to resolve such disagreement within thirty (30) days after delivery of Tenant’s
Statement. If they are unable to do so, Tenant may send a notice to Landlord, within ninety

(90) days after the delivery of Tenant’s Statement in connection with the disagreement in question indicating that Tenant desires to have such disagreement determined by an Arbiter and
setting forth the name of an individual proposed by Tenant to serve as Arbiter. If Landlord does not agree with Tenant’s selection of an Arbiter, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree on another individual to serve as Arbiter, and if
Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree upon the designation of the Arbiter within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice requesting the appointment of an Arbiter, then either party shall have the right to
request the AAA to designate the Arbiter. The “Arbiter” shall be a certified public accountant whose practice primarily involves real estate accounting and who is a member of an independent certified public accounting firm having at
least fifteen (15) accounting professionals. The Arbiter’s determination, made in accordance with this Section 4.04D, shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. If Tenant timely delivers a Tenant’s Statement, the
disagreement referenced therein is not resolved by the parties and Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s desire to have such disagreement determined by an Arbiter within the ninety (90) day period set forth above, then the
Landlord’s Statement to which such disagreement relates shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. The fees of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant; provided that if it is determined that the Operating Expense Statement was
overstated by five percent (5%) or more, then the cost of the Arbiter shall be borne by Landlord. Any determination made by an Arbiter shall not exceed the amount determined to be due in the first instance by the Operating Expense Statement
(subject to Landlord’s rights to revise such Landlord’s Statement as permitted herein), nor shall such determination be less than the amount claimed to be due by Tenant in Tenant’s Statement, and any determination which does not
comply with the foregoing shall be null and void and not binding on the parties. In rendering such determination the Arbiter shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Lease. Pending the resolution of any contest
pursuant to this Section, and as a condition to Tenant’s right to prosecute such contest (but without prejudice to Tenant’s position), Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the Landlord’s Statement in
question. If Tenant shall prevail in such contest, Landlord shall, at its option, subject to the last sentence of Section 4.02(B)(ii), Section 4.02C(ii) or Section 4.03B(ii), as applicable, either credit against Tenant’s next
subsequent payments of Rent the amount (together with interest thereon at the Prime Rate if such overpayment is more than 3%) determined to be overpaid or pay such amount (including the required interest thereon, if any) to Tenant within thirty
(30) days after such. determination. 
 4.05 In the event that any amount owing to Tenant under this Article 4 and payable either in
cash or by means of a credit against the rent (together with any required interest payable thereon, if any) shall not be fully paid or credited to Tenant on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease then, subject to the last sentence
of Section 4.02B(ii), Section 4.02D(ii) or 4.03B(ii) hereof, as applicable, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant the amount not theretofore paid or credited to Tenant. 

4.06 In no event shall the Fixed Rent ever be reduced by operation of Sections 4.02 or 4.03 hereof. The provisions of this Article 4 shall
survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

including Tenant, is chargeable by Landlord for the same costs and expenses relating to the same services or work requested by or provided to Tenant and such other occupant(s) of the Building for which Tenant is chargeable (whether performed on an
overtime basis or otherwise), then Tenant shall only be charged for a proportionate share of such costs and expenses, which apportionment shall be based on the amount of services or work requested by such parties. 

6.02 Landlord reserves the right to temporarily interrupt, curtail or suspend the \ services required to be furnished by Landlord under this
Lease when the necessity therefor arises by reason of required maintenance, accident, labor dispute, riot, insurrection, emergency, mechanical breakdown, acts of God or other Force Majeure event, or when required by any Legal Requirements and/or
Insurance Requirements, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord and, except as provided in Section 6.07 A hereof, the same shall be without liability to Landlord nor shall the same constitute an actual or constructive
eviction. Landlord shall provide Tenant with such advance notice, if any, as is reasonable under the circumstances of any stoppage, curtailment or interruption of service, and such notice shall set forth, on a non-binding basis, Landlord’s good
faith estimate of the duration of such stoppage. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete all required repairs or other necessary work to provide restoration of any

shaft from a telecom service entry room located in the cellar of the Building to a base Building telecom riser located on the 29th floor of the Building has been allocated to Tenant’s non-exclusive use during the Term (which shaft will be in
one of the locations which are shown on Exhibit 6.03A annexed hereto and made a part hereof, as reasonably designated by Landlord). In addition, Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with a non-exclusive pathway (in a location to be reasonably
designated by Landlord) through four inch sleeves connecting a telecom riser closet located on the 29th floor of the Building in which the aforementioned conduit terminates to a telecom riser closet on the 35th floor of the Building; it being
agreed, subject to the terms hereof, Tenant may install dedicated conduit in such pathway and that Tenant shall have the right to use up to but not more than 50% of the space in the aforementioned conduit and sleeve. To the extent any conduit
permitted to be utilized by Tenant shall be run horizontally, the same shall be run in locations reasonably designated by Landlord. Any conduit or sleeve allocated to or permitted to be installed by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.03A is referred to herein as “Tenant’s Conduit.” 
 B. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s
sole cost and expense, for arranging for all telecommunication and data transmission services to the Demised Premises with the approved service providers for the Building. Landlord shall permit the cable television company serving the area in which

service provider to access) Tenant’s Conduit as reasonably required in connection with outside communication services required by Tenant and reasonably approved by Landlord (it being agreed that Verizon, AT&T, Global Crossing and Sprint are
hereby approved by Landlord), but Tenant shall be permitted to utilize any outside communication services (provided the service provider is not a Prohibited Entity) selected by Tenant. Ail Tenant’s communication equipment, switches, etc. (as
opposed to the suppliers’ equipment, switches, etc.) shall be located in the Demised Premises. 
 C. Tenant shall have the right, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to install a security system in the Demised Premises which is compatible with the Building security system so as to enable Tenant to utilize a single security/access card but Landlord shall not have liability to
Tenant in connection with any such system. 
 6.04 If Tenant shall require Base HVAC System service at any time other than during Business
Hours on Business Days or other than on Saturdays from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. (herein, “After-hours Service”), then Tenant shall give Landlord notice of such requirement by 3:00 p.m. on the day such After-hours Service is required

cost of labor and utilities (as measured by one or more B.T.U. meter(s) or other similar means of measurement) to furnish such After-hours Service on a cost per ton per hour basis, as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days of demand;
provided, however, that if any other tenants or occupants shall also require Afterhours Service during such non-Business Hours, then Landlord’s actual labor costs in connection therewith, to the extent attributable to multiple
users, shall be equitably apportioned between Tenant and such other tenants and occupants.

 6.05 Landlord agrees that Tenant may install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in
accordance with, and subject to, the applicable provisions of this Lease (including Article 13 hereof) an additional heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system (hereinafter referred to as the “Supplemental HVAC System”) or,
have the same included in the Fit-out Work, in which event the same shall be included in the Construction Plans and the cost thereof shall be included in the Costs of Fit-out Work. The costs of installation (including connection to any chilled water
source), maintenance and operation of the Supplemental HVAC System shall be borne by Tenant, and Tenant shall be responsible for the design and installation of its own chilled water pumps, capable of delivering the required flow to Tenant’s
equipment, which design, if the Supplemental HVAC System is part of the Fit-out Work, shall be set forth and reflected in the Construction Plans. All facilities, equipment, machinery and ducts installed by Tenant in connection with the Supplemental
HVAC System shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall be granted or withheld in accordance with the provisions of Article 13 hereof. Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant or responsibility whatsoever for any
interruption in service of the Supplemental HVAC System (if any) for any cause whatsoever, nor shall the same constitute an actual or constructive eviction, subject to the provisions of Section 6.07 hereof and Section I 0.04 hereof. Tenant
agrees to cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper connection, functioning and protection of the Supplemental HVAC System. In connection with any
Supplemental HVAC System intended to be installed by Tenant as provided herein, Landlord agrees to reserve up to fifteen (15) tons of chilled water capacity for Tenant’s use in the Demised Premises (the “Reserved Chilled Water
Capacity”) until one hundred eighty (180) days after the Commencement Date (the “Outside Reserve Date”). If Tenant requires chilled water capacity in excess of the Reserved Chilled Water Capacity for any Supplemental
HVAC System after the Outside Reserve Date and the same is then available in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, taking into account the reasonable future needs of existing and future occupants of space in the Building (whether or not such space is
then vacant) as well as Landlord’s existing and future reasonable needs in the Operation of the Property, Landlord agrees, upon request of Tenant (and provided Tenant is not then in monetary default or material non-monetary default, under this
Lease, in each instance, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period), Landlord will make such tonnage of additional chilled water as may be reasonably necessary for such Supplemental HVAC System. Notwithstanding the previous
two (2) sentences, if Tenant fails to use such Reserved Chilled Water Capacity (or any part thereof) by the Outside Reserve Date or any additional chilled water (or any part thereof) within one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord has
made the same available to Tenant as aforesaid, Tenant shall have no further right to use any portion of the Reserved Chilled Water Capacity or such additional chilled water not so used by Tenant (unless Tenant again complies with the procedures in
the previous sentence). Tenant’s use of any chilled water for any Supplemental HVAC System shall be measured by B.T.U. Meters specified by Landlord and procured and installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (or, if the part of
the Fit-out Work, the cost thereof shall be included in the Costs of Fit-out Work) and maintained by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, at a location and having a tap approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. There shall be no tap-in connectivity fee in connection with Tenant’s use of the chilled water referred to in this Section 6.05. Any chilled water utilized by Tenant pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.02 hereof, be available twenty four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week. Tenant shall pay for the chilled water as shown on such meters based on Landlord’s actual cost of providing the chilled
water, inclusive of Tenant’s share of Landlord’s actual labor costs in connection therewith if such chilled water is consumed after-hours. If, after the date of this Lease, the actual cost to Landlord of furnishing chilled water for such
Supplemental HVAC System shall be increased, then the aforesaid cost to Tenant shall be increased to fairly reflect the amount of the actual increases in cost incurred by Landlord.

 6.06 Tenant acknowledges that the fire stairs serving the Demised Premises are only for use
during an emergency. 
 6.07 A. In case (i) any portion of the Demised Premises (an “Affected Portion”) is
rendered Untenantable by reason of a default by Landlord in the performance of its obligations to deliver Landlord Services as required hereunder or the performance of any repairs or replacements required to be made by Landlord under this Lease or
any other reason except as (x) otherwise provided in this Lease or (y) a result of Tenant’s negligence or willful misconduct, and (ii) Tenant is compelled thereby to discontinue, and has so discontinued, the conduct of its
business in the normal course thereof in the Affected Portion and vacated the Affected Portion for at least ten (1 0) consecutive Business Days after Tenant notifies Landlord, WITH EXPRESS REFERENCE TO THE ABATEMENT PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION
6.07, of the condition giving rise to such Untenantability and discontinuation of the conduct of its business (in reasonable detail), then, but only then, in respect of any Affected Portion of the Premises as to which all of the foregoing
conditions of this Section 6.07 A shall have been satisfied (such Affected Portion being the “Untenantable Space”), all Rent with respect to only the Untenantable Space shall be abated from and after tenth
(10th) consecutive Business Day that the Untenantable Space became Untenantable and Tenant ceased conducting its business in the normal course thereof in the Untenantable Space and vacated the Untenantable Space until the earlier to occur of
the date (1) Tenant once again commences operation of its business in the Untenantable Space (or any portion thereof, but only to the extent of the portion thereof) or (2) one (1) Business Day after notice from Landlord to Tenant that
the Untenantable Space once again became Tenantable (provided such notice is factually correct), in each case in the same proportion that the Untenantable Space (or the portion thereof, but only to the extent of the portion thereof) bears to the
entire Premises. For the purposes of this Lease, “Untenantable” shall mean that the Affected Portion is inaccessible or unusable for general office purposes as permitted under this Lease and “Tenantable” shall mean
that the Affected Portion is accessible and usable for general office purposes. The entry by representatives of Tenant to the Affected Portion on a limited basis solely to retrieve files and documents or to maintain equipment in the Premises and not
for the conduct of business shall not by itself be deemed to be the commencement of operation of Tenant’s business in the normal course thereof within the meaning of clause (1) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no such
abatement to the extent that the Affected Portion is Untenantable and such Untenantability (A) is due to any failure of the utility company, municipality or other service provider to supply electricity, gas or water to the Building unless such
failure arises because of Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional wrongful acts, (B) is due to or results from any Legal Requirement, (C) such untenantability is covered by business interruption insurance (but only to the extent of
such coverage [or the amount of coverage that Tenant would have in the event Tenant failed to comply with its obligations in respect thereof]; it being agreed that Tenant shall be required to carry business interruption insurance as part of the
insurance required to be carried by Tenant hereunder in such amount as Tenant determines in good faith to be necessary to reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings and/or extra expense attributable to perils insured against or
attributable to prevention of access to Premises or Building or interruption of services, which amount shall in no event be less than one (1) year’s Fixed Rent payable hereunder), or (D) as a result of a default by Tenant or any
Person claiming by or through Tenant under this Lease. 
 B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
occurrence of a condition that renders the Premises Untenantable shall not, subject to the terms hereof, relieve Landlord of any obligation of Landlord hereunder to repair the Premises or the Building (or any portion thereof). 

C. In no event shall this Section 6.07 be applicable to a casualty or condemnation, which shall be governed by Articles 17 and 18 hereof.

 6.08 In connection with any After-hours Service or any other overtime or premium pay service
requested by Tenant under this Lease that Landlord agrees to perform (it being agreed that Landlord shall have no obligation to so agree if Tenant is then in monetary default or material nonmonetary default under this Lease, in each instance, beyond
the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period), Tenant acknowledges that (a) Landlord’s employees may be able to perform such work or repairs at no additional cost to Landlord during Business Hours on Business Days and
(b) the cost of any overtime or premium pay service costs shall include any additional out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord on account of the terms of any applicable union employees contract, including any required minimum shift time
pursuant to the applicable union contract (by way of example only, if Tenant requests that a particular item of work or repair be performed by Landlord on an overtime basis, such work or repair shall require two (2) hours of labor, and such
applicable union employees contract requires a minimum overtime shift of four ( 4) hours, Tenant shall be required to pay for the cost of such employee(s) for the entire four ( 4) hours, despite the fact that such work or repair shall only require
two (2) hours of labor). 
 6.09 Subject to reasonable Building security procedures and access control, Force Majeure, the applicable
Rules and Regulations and the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall be permitted to have access to the Demised Premises twenty four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week (unless prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements and/or
Insurance Requirements). 
 ARTICLE 7 

ELECTRIC 
 7.01 Subject to
the other provisions of this Article 7 and Section 13.14 hereof, Landlord shall furnish to the Demised Premises through the transmission facilities to be installed by Landlord in the Unit substantially in accordance with the Base Building
Criteria, alternating electric current (the “Electrical Capacity”) in an amount equal to seven (7) watts actual demand load per gross square foot (based on the floor in which the Demised Premises is located containing 26,000 gross
square feet), exclusive of electric required to operate the Base Systems (including the Base HVAC System) located in the Demised Premises. Such service shall be provided to the electric closet(s) servicing the Demised Premises. The electric current
for the Demised Premises shall be measured by one or more meters with coincident demand and shall be aggregated and billed as if there was only one (1) meter, which meters shall be (A) installed by Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost
and expense, at such location or locations as Landlord shall reasonably select and (B) maintained by Landlord. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery to Tenant of an invoice therefor on account of Tenant’s
electrical consumption in the Demised Premises (which amount shall be computed by applying Tenant’s kw and kwh (on and off-peak, if applicable) to the Electric Rates paid by Landlord, (without any premium or administrative markup), plus,
to the extent not included in Operating Expenses, any reasonable third party fees associated with the reading of meters and production of bills (the “Electricity Additional Rent”). Landlord and its agents shall, upon prior
reasonable notice (except in the event of an emergency in which event no prior notice shall be required), be permitted access to the electric closets and the meters during normal Business Hours to maintain and repair the same and make necessary
readings thereof. 
 7.02 Tenant’s use of electrical energy shall never exceed the electrical capacity of the then existing feeders to
the Building or the then existing risers or wiring installation serving the Demised Premises. Tenant understands that if the demand load exceeds the Electrical Capacity in the Demised Premises that the Base HVAC System will not be able to perform
within the Base HVAC Specifications. If Tenant requires additional electrical capacity in excess of the Electrical Capacity,

subject to the terms hereinafter set forth, then Landlord, subject to the limitations contained herein, shall provide the same to Tenant to the extent (a) it exists within the capacities
of the Building’s buss duct system, (b) is not committed to any Building System requirement or tenant under an existing lease obligation or reasonably desired to be reserved by Landlord (taking into account the future needs of p existing
and future occupants of space in the Unit or the Building [whether or not such space is then vacant] or Landlord’s existing and future reasonable needs in connection with the Operation of the Property), and/or (c) in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment, the same are necessary and will not cause or create a hazardous condition, unreasonably excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or expense or interfere (by more than a de minimis extent) with or disturb other
tenants or occupants in the Unit or the Building or cause damage or injury to the Unit, the Common Elements or the Building. Tenant shall not make or perform or permit any changes in or alterations to wiring installations or other electrical
facilities in or serving the Demised Premises (as such installations or facilities shall be indicated by the final electrical plans shown on the Final Drawings for the Fit-out Work) except with Landlords’ consent in accordance with Article 13
hereof. Should Landlord grant such consent as aforesaid to the extent required under this Lease, all additional risers, or other modifications to base Building equipment required therefor shall be provided by Landlord and the reasonable
out-of-pocket cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor. Landlord’s approval of any electrical alterations or changes shall not be deemed a representation that the same
comply with applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements. Landlord, its agents and engineers and consultants may survey Tenant’s electrical consumption from time to time during Business Hours upon reasonable prior notice (except
during an emergency, in which event no prior notice shall be required), at Landlord’s expense, to determine whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Article unless such survey shows that Tenant has exceeded its permitted
Electrical Capacity hereunder, in which event Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. 

7.03 A. Except as provided in Section 6.07A hereof, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for any loss, damage or expense which
Tenant may sustain or incur by reason of any change, failure, inadequacy or defect in the supply or character of any of the electrical energy furnished to the Demised Premises or if the quantity or character of the electrical energy is no longer
available or suitable for Tenant’s requirements. 
 B. Landlord or any Condominium Board shall have the right upon reasonable prior
notice (except that in the event of an emergency, in which event no prior notice shall be required) to “shut down” electrical energy to the Demised Premises when necessitated by the need for repairs, alterations, connections or
reconnections, with respect to the electrical system serving the Building, the Unit and/or the Common Elements (singularly or collectively, “Electrical Work”), regardless of whether the need for such Electrical Work arises in
respect of the Demised Premises, any other tenant space, or any space in the Building, the Unit, the Common Elements and/or the Building common areas. Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for any loss, damage, or expense which Tenant may
sustain due to such “shut down” or Electrical Work. To the extent reasonably possible, Landlord shall subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, confine all such stoppages within Landlord’s reasonable control to hours
other than Business Hours. Except as provided in Section 6.07 A hereof, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for any loss, damage, or expense which Tenant may sustain due to such “shut down” or any Electrical Work. 

7.04 The term “Electric Rates” shall be deemed to mean the actual rates at which Landlord purchases electrical energy from
the public utility, alternative service provider, or any other Person supplying electrical service to the Building, including any discounts, surcharges or charges incurred, or utility taxes or sales taxes or other taxes payable by or imposed upon

connection therewith, or increase thereof by reason of fuel adjustment or any substitutions for such Electric Rates. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that they understand that the electric rates,
charges, taxes and other costs may be changed by virtue of peak demand, time of day rates, or other methods of billing, and that the foregoing reference to changes in methods or rules of billing is intended to include any such change. 

7.05 Subject to clause (a) of this Section 7.05, Landlord reserves the right to terminate the furnishing of electrical energy at any
time, upon at least thirty (30) days’ notice (provided that such longer notice as is reasonably feasible under the circumstances shall be given) to Tenant unless a shorter period of notice is required or necessitated by Legal Requirements
but Landlord shall exercise such right only if required to do so by applicable Legal Requirements or the Condominium Documents. If Landlord shall so discontinue the furnishing of electrical energy, (a) Tenant shall arrange to obtain electrical
energy directly from the public utility company or other service provider then furnishing electrical energy to the Building and, unless required by such Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements, Landlord shall not terminate such service
until Tenant shall have obtained such direct service, (b) Landlord shall permit the existing feeders, risers, wiring and other electrical facilities serving the Demised Premises to be used by Tenant for such purpose, (c) from and after the
effective date of such discontinuance Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish electric energy to Tenant (but the foregoing shall not relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay any Electricity Additional Rent that is accrued and unpaid at the time
of such discontinuance), (d) subject to the terms hereof, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant on account of such discontinuance and (e) Tenant shall install and maintain at locations in the Building reasonably selected by Landlord
any necessary electrical meter equipment, panel boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and equipment which may be required to obtain electrical energy directly from the public utility or other service provider supplying the same
including all equipment necessary to supply such power to the existing electric closets serving the Demised Premises, pursuant to clause (b) above; it being agreed that the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of any such installation shall be shared
equally between Landlord and Tenant. 
 7.06 In the event that any tax shall be imposed upon Landlord’s receipts from the sale, use or
resale of electrical energy to Tenant, the pro rata share allocable to the electrical energy service received by Tenant shall be passed onto, included in the bill of, and paid by Tenant if and to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal
Requirements. 
 7.07 Tenant may, at Tenant’s option, furnish and install all replacement lighting, tubes, lamps, starters, bulbs and
ballasts required in the Demised Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense using Tenant’s employees (but not any outside contractor) provided such lighting complies with the Design Guidelines. Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall
furnish and install all replacement lighting, tubes, lamps, starters, bulbs and ballasts required in the Demised Premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord (or its designated contractor) Landlord’s reasonable, actual out-of-pocket charges
therefor, provided such costs are commercially competitive, as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after demand for such furnishing and installation in accordance with the Design Guidelines.

 (ii) For purposes of this Article 8, (a) a material modification,
amendment or extension of a sublease requiring Landlord’s consent hereunder shall be deemed a sublease requiring approval of the relevant provisions thereof in accordance with the terms of this Article 8, and (b) any Person or legal
representative of Tenant to whom Tenant’s interest under this Lease passes by operation of law or otherwise shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 8. 

(iii) For purposes of this Article 8, (a) the issuance of interests in Tenant or any subtenant (whether stock, partnership
interests, interests in a limited liability company or otherwise) to any Person or group of related Persons, whether in a single transaction or a series of related or unrelated transactions, in such quantities that after such issuance Control of
Tenant, or any subtenant directly or indirectly, shall have changed, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease or such sublease, as the case may be, and (b) a transfer of Control of Tenant or any subtenant (whether stock, partnership
interests, interests in a limited liability company or otherwise) by the direct (as opposed to the indirect) owner(s) thereof, whether in a single transaction or through a series of related or unrelated transactions, shall be deemed an assignment of
this Lease, or such sublease, as the case may be. Any assignment (or deemed assignment), sublease (or deemed sublease), license, concession, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or transfer by Tenant in contravention of this Article 8 shall be void 

B. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.01A hereof, Tenant shall have the right, without the consent of Landlord or any
requirement to pay the Additional Rent under Section 8.07 hereof and without being subject to Landlord’s Recapture Rights under Section 8.04 hereof (but otherwise subject to Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Article 8),
to assign this Lease to (i) an entity created by merger, reorganization or recapitalization of or with Tenant, (ii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or stock (the assignee described in transactions referred
to in clause (i) and (ii) above, is referred to herein as a “Successor”) or (iii) an Affiliate provided, in each such case, such merger, reorganization, recapitalization or sale or assignment to an Affiliate, as the
case may be, shall be for a valid business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created by this Lease or the avoidance of any obligations under this Lease and, provided, further, such Successor or
Affiliate, as the case may be, shall (A) use the Demised Premises in compliance with and assume the terms and provisions of, this Lease from and after the effective date of the assignment and (B) have a net worth (exclusive of good will
and general intangibles) computed in accordance with GAAP and certified by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord, at least equal to or greater than Tenant’s net worth immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation or such acquisition and assumption or assignment, as the case may be. 
 C. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 8.01A hereof, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlord’s consent or any requirement to pay the Additional Rent under Section 8.07 hereof and without being subject to Landlord’s Recapture Rights under
Section 8.04 hereof (but otherwise subject to Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Article 8), to sublease all or part of the Demised Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant; provided such subletting shall be for a valid business purpose
and not principally for the purpose of transferring this Lease or the avoidance of any obligations under this Lease. If any Affiliate entity shall cease to be an Affiliate of Tenant, then, effective as of the date such Person shall cease to au
Affiliate, Tenant shall be deemed to have made an Offer to Landlord upon the terms and conditions of the sublease with such former Affiliate and Landlord shall have the rights with respect to such Offer as provided in Section 8.04 hereof. If
Landlord does not exercise (or is deemed to have not exercised) its Recapture Right under Section 8.04 hereof with respect to such Offer,

then such Person may continue to sublease or occupy any portion(s) of the Demised Premises it has theretofore subleased or occupied as an Affiliate of Tenant, as the case may be, provided and
upon the condition that (i) the principal purpose of the transaction which results in such entity no longer being an Affiliate of Tenant shall not be the acquisition of such Affiliate’s interest in its sublease or other occupancy
agreement, or the avoidance of any obligations under this Lease and (ii) the sublease or other occupancy agreement shall comply with the provisions of this Article 8 and, to the extent applicable, thereafter Tenant shall be obligated to pay the
Additional Rent, if any, due under Section 8.07 hereof. 
 D. Any of the transactions described in Section 8.01B or
Section 8.01C is referred to herein as an “Exempt Transaction.” Not later than ten (10) days prior to the effective date of an Exempt Transaction, Tenant shall give Landlord notice thereof; provided, however,
that to the extent that Tenant is unable to provide Landlord with prior notice of such Exempt Transaction due to binding confidentiality agreements or securities regulations, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice of such transaction within
ten (10) days after the effective date of such transaction. 
 8.02 If this Lease shall be assigned, whether or not in violation of the
provisions of this Lease, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof are sublet or used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after the
occurrence of any default by Tenant under this Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, collect the rent from the subtenant or occupant. In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein
reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any provisions of this Article 8, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to
relieve the Original Tenant or any assignee or other successor in interest (whether immediate or remote) of the Original Tenant from the full and prompt payment, performance and observance of the covenants, obligations and conditions to be paid,
performed and observed by Tenant under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to a particular assignment, subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not in any way be considered as a consent by Landlord to any other or further assignment, or
subletting or use or occupancy by others. Reference in this Lease to use or occupancy by others (other than Tenant) shall not be construed as limited to subtenants but shall also include licensees and others claiming under or through Tenant,
immediately or remotely.

to Landlord an agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby the assignee shall assume the obligations and performance of this Lease and agree to be bound by and upon all of the terms and conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to
be performed or observed from and after the effective date of such assignment and whereby the assignee shall agree that the provisions of this Article 8 hereof shall, notwithstanding such an assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it in
the future. Notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of the Fixed Rent (or any other amounts required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease) by
Landlord from an assignee or transferee or any other party, Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the payment of the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent due and to become due under this Lease and for the performance of all of the
covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed. 
 8.04 A. (i)
Except in the case of an Exempt Transaction, if Tenant shall, at any time or times during the term of this Lease, desire to (a) assign this Lease (it being agreed that a sublease of all or substantially all of the Demised Premises for all or
substantially all of the remainder of the Term shall be deemed to be an assignment of the Lease) or (b) sublet all or any portion of the

“Offer”) from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord shall have the right (the “Recapture Right”), at its option, to (i) terminate this Lease if the Offer is for an assignment (or deemed assignment) as hereinafter
provided or (ii) in the case of a proposed subletting under clause (b) above, to either (A) cancel this Lease with respect to the Recapture Space as provided in Section 8.04B hereof, or (B) require Tenant to execute and

Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof to any Person.

terminated on the Termination Date as aforesaid, then, if at such time there is in effect a sublease(s) of a portion of the Demised Premises that was consented to by Landlord in accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord shall be required to assume
Tenant’s obligations under such sublease(s) except that in no event shall Landlord be liable or responsible for the Recognition Carve outs. If this Lease is terminated as to the Recapture Space as aforesaid, (a) the Recapture Space shall
no longer be a part of the Demised Premises for any purpose of this Lease, (b) the Fixed Rent, the Recurring Additional Rent and all other items of Rent attributable to the Recapture Space shall be apportioned as of the Termination Date,
(c) the Fixed Rent shall be decreased by the amounts thereof attributable to the RSF of the Recapture Space, (d) Tenant’s Percentage shall be decreased by recalculating the same to exclude the number of RSF contained in the Recapture
Space, (e) if the Recapture Space is less than an entire floor, Landlord shall make such alterations as may be reasonably required to physically separate such portion(s) of the Recapture Space (and the systems serving the same) from the balance
of the Demised Premises, to comply (to the extent applicable) with Tenant’s obligation under Section 7.01 hereof as it relates to reallocation of electrical capacity, and to provide appropriate means of ingress and egress thereto and to
the public portions of the balance of such partial floor (and Tenant shall pay for Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of an invoice therefor) and
(f) if the Recapture Space is a full floor, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall remove any internal staircases (x) within the Recapture Space, (if any) and/or (y) connecting the Recapture Space to any other
portion(s) of the Demised Premises and slab over the opening(s) therefor (and Tenant shall pay for Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection therewith within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of an invoice
therefor).

 (iii) If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Recapture Space as
aforesaid, such sublease to Landlord or its designee (which designee must be an Affiliate of Landlord) as subtenant (a “Recapture Sublease”) shall: 

(A) be at a rental equal to the lesser of (1) the Rent Per Square Foot from time to time payable under this Lease during
the term of such Recapture Sublease multiplied by the number of RSF of the Recapture Space and (2) the sublease rent set forth in the terms of the Offer and otherwise be upon the same terms and conditions as those contained in this Lease (as
modified by the terms of the Offer, except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the contrary in this subsection 8.04A(iii)); it being agreed that, any rental payable under any Recapture Sublease
shall, at Landlord’s option, either be payable at the times set forth in the Recapture Sublease or shall be a credit against the Rents payable by Tenant hereunder. For the purposes hereof, “Rent Per Square Foot” shall mean the
sum of the Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent then payable hereunder divided by the total RSF of the Demised Premises; 

(B) give the subtenant under the Recapture Sublease, the unqualified and unrestricted right, without Tenant’s consent, to
assign such Recapture Sublease to an Affiliate of Landlord or a successor landlord under this Lease or its Affiliate and to further sublet the Recapture Space or any part thereof and to make any and all changes, alterations, and improvements in the
Recapture Space without Tenant’s consent (provided that Tenant shall have no obligation to remove or restore any such changes, alterations or improvements);

whole or in part, prior to or upon the expiration or other termination of the Recapture Sublease, provided that any damage and injury caused to any other portion of the Demised Premises by Landlord or its designee thereby shall be repaired and
provided, further that such improvements (that are not personal property or trade fixtures) shall not be removed if Tenant if gives notice to such effect not later than sixty ( 60) days prior to such expiration or other termination of the Recapture
Sublease; ·

any estate created under such Recapture Sublease be merged with any other estate held by either of said parties and (2) Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense equal to Landlord’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket cost shall make
such alterations as may be required or reasonably deemed necessary to physically separate the Recapture Space from the balance of the Demised Premises (including removal of any internal staircase(s) (x) within the floors of the Recapture Space
(if any) and/or (y) connecting the Recapture Space to any other portion(s) of the Building and to slab over the opening(s) therefor) and to provide appropriate means of ingress to and egress thereto and to the public portions of the balance of
the floor such as toilets, janitor’s closets, telephone and electrical closets, fire stairs, and elevator lobbies;

the extent that Landlord or its permitted designee (i.e., the designee is an Affiliate of Landlord), as subtenant, fails to pay to Tenant any amount that the subtenant is required to pay to Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Recapture Sublease,
then (provided Landlord has not already provided Tenant with a credit on account thereof) Tenant shall have the right to credit such amount against Tenant’s rental obligations under this Lease; (C) if the Recapture Sublease is rejected in
bankruptcy by Landlord or its designee, Tenant shall be released from any and all liability in respect of such Recapture Space and such Recapture Space shall no longer be a part of the Demised Premises; and (D) notwithstanding the terms of the
Offer for the proposed sublease to which the Recapture Sublease relates, the expiration date of the Recapture Sublease shall be co-terminus with the Expiration Date. 

(v) If Landlord is unable to give Tenant possession of the Recapture Space at the expiration of the term of the Recapture
Sublease by reason of the holding over or retention of possession of any tenant or other occupant of the Recapture Space claiming through Landlord (other than Tenant or any Tenant Party), then, provided Tenant otherwise has surrendered the balance
of the Premises to Landlord as required hereunder, Tenant shall be deemed to have delivered possession of the entire Premises to Landlord upon the Expiration Date and any such holdover or retention of possession of solely the Recapture Space shall
not be deemed a holdover by Tenant under this Lease.

fails to consummate a proposed assignment or subletting that was the subject of (a) an Offer within one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord’s election not to recapture (or failure to so elect) as contemplated by Section 8.04
hereof or (b) a Tenant’s Consent Request within one hundred twenty (120) days after the delivery thereof (unless Tenant’s Consent Request is delivered simultaneously with the Offer in which event the applicable period shall be
one hundred eighty (180) days), or (ii) if Tenant consummates an assignment or sublease transaction, as the case may be, and, in either instance under clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 8.05F, the Net Effective Rent
or Net Effective Price, as the case may be, shall be less than 92.5% of the Net Effective Rent or the Net Effective Price, as the case may be, set forth in the Offer furnished to Landlord pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof (or in Tenant’s
Consent Request, with respect to a proposed sublease that is not subject to a Recapture Right of Landlord), then, in the case of either clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 8.05F, the provisions of Sections 8.04 and 8.05 hereof shall
again apply (and in the case of clause (ii) of this Section 8.05F, such provisions shall apply to such assignment or sublease transaction, notwithstanding the fact that Tenant may have consummated the same) and Tenant shall be required to

egress shall conform to all applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements and all alterations relating thereto shall be subject to the provisions of Article 13 hereof), and (B) physically separate the sublet space from the balance
of the floor in such commercially reasonable manner that the configuration of the sublet space and the balance of the floor would not inhibit; in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, Landlord’s ability to independently lease the sublet space
or the balance of the floor to one (1) or more office tenants for general and executive office use; and 
 (iv) each
sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and that, in the event of termination, reentry or dispossess by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at
its option, either terminate such sublease or take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory

8.06 Each sublease shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or therein: (a) provide that such sublease shall not
be assigned and that the premises demised thereunder shall not be further sublet without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent with respect to further assignments and further sublettings shall not be unreasonably
withheld subject to the terms of this Article 8 (including Landlord’s rights under Section 8.04 and Section 8.07 hereof) except that the third tier down of any further subletting of a sublease shall not be permitted without
Landlord’s consent, which may be granted or denied in Landlord’s sole discretion, and (b) contain (or incorporate by reference) provisions substantially the same as those contained in Sections 35.02 and 43.14 hereof. Except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein, if any such sublease or sub-sublease is assigned or further sublet without the consent of Landlord in each instance obtained or without compliance with the provisions of this Article 8, Tenant shall immediately
terminate such sublease or arrange for the termination thereof, and proceed expeditiously to have the occupant thereunder dispossessed. Landlord’s consent to any sublease or assignment shall not be deemed or construed to modify, amend or affect
the terms and provisions of this Lease, or Tenant’s obligations hereunder, which shall continue to apply to the occupants thereof, as if the sublease or assignment had not been made.

changes in the layout and finish of) the sublet space in order to prepare the sublet space for such subtenant’s occupancy, (ii) costs and expenses in providing a fund to the subtenant for either such purpose (by way of a work allowance or

exercise of Landlord’s Recapture Right in question), and 
 (iii) “Unamortized Excess Work Allowance”
shall mean those hard costs of the Fit-out Work (with respect to the applicable Recapture Space only in event of a Recapture Sublease) which were not funded by the Excess Work Allowance (A) amortized on a straight-line basis over a ten

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 (a) any waiver or failure of Landlord or any grantee or assignee of Landlord by way
of mortgage or otherwise, to enforce any of the obligations of this Lease or (b) any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord by way of mortgage or otherwise, extending the time, or modifying any of the

observance of all of the terms and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant throughout the Term and no amendment of this Lease or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any of the
terms and conditions of this Lease shall constitute a novation or otherwise release any of the Predecessor Tenants; provided, however, if any such subsequent amendment to this Lease is made by a Person that is not an Affiliate of the
Predecessor Tenant without any such Predecessor Tenant’s consent and such subsequent amendment shall increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder and/or extend the Term hereof (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), then such
Predecessor Tenant shall not be liable with respect only to such incremental increase and/or such extension term. 
 8.11 The listing
of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the door of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof or the Building directory, if any, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Demised Premises, nor

8.12 Tenant shall reimburse Landlord (whether or not the proposed transaction is consummated), within thirty (30) days after demand, for

contained herein (whether or not Landlord’s consent is required therefor), shall not take, fail to take or permit to be taken or not taken any action which would cause a default by Landlord under the Superior Obligation Instruments and
(b) cooperate with Landlord and the Public Parties (as defined in the Unit Ground Lease) in all reasonable respects in connection with Landlord’s exercise of rights and/or fulfillment of obligations under the Superior Obligation

minimis extent, otherwise decrease the obligations of Landlord or the rights of Tenant under this Lease. This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required; provided, however,
(I) not later than sixty ( 60) days following the Execution Date, Landlord shall obtain from the Ground Lease Landlord (in its capacity as Ground Lease Landlord and Unit Ground Lease Landlord) and the existing Superior Mortgagee an executed and
acknowledged non disturbance agreement (each, a “SNDA Agreement”) substantially in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits 9.02A-l and 9.02A-2, respectively, and (2) as an express condition of any subordination of this Lease to
any future Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease, Landlord shall obtain from any future Superior Mortgagee and/or Superior Lessor, in each instance, an executed and acknowledged SNDA Agreement or such form which is then customarily used by such party,
provided such other form contains the same substantive protections as are set forth in the forms annexed hereto as Exhibits 9.02A-l and 9.02A-2 with such reasonable modifications as Tenant may request (provided that Tenant shall not be entitled to
request modifications to any provision of such form that would be more favorable to Tenant in any material respect than the provisions of the form annexed hereto as Exhibit 9.02A-l or 9.02A-2, respectively, and provided further that such form does
not (a) extend or shorten the Term, (b) reduce the usable area of the Premises, (c) increase the Fixed Rent, any Additional Rent or any other monetary obligation of Tenant under this Lease, (d) except to a de minimis
extent, otherwise increase the obligations of Tenant or the rights of Landlord under this Lease or (e) except to a de minimis extent, otherwise decrease the obligations of Landlord or the rights of Tenant under this Lease). If any future
Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee refuses to sign the applicable SNDA Agreement, this Lease shall not be subject and subordinate to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage, as applicable. 

B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Landlord be required to (a) make any payment to

review, preparation and negotiation of any such SNDA Agreement, (b) alter any of the terms of its financing with any such Superior Mortgagee or the terms of any Superior Lease or the Condominium Documents, (c) commence any action against
any such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor in order to obtain such SNDA Agreement or (d) request or obtain, as the case may be, any future SNDA Agreement if Tenant shall then be in default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice
and/or cure periods hereunder unless and until such default is cured. Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant if any future Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgage does not enter into any such SNDA Agreement; provided, however, this
Lease shall not be subordinate to such Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage unless and until the respective SNDA Agreements have been executed by the Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee, as the case may be, and delivered to Tenant.

 C. The leases to which this Lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate
pursuant to this Article are hereinafter sometimes called “Superior Leases”, and references to Superior Lessors are intended to include the successors in interest of Superior Lessors and their successors in interest as may be
appropriate. The mortgages to which this Lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate and any modifications, extensions or replacements thereof are hereinafter sometimes collectively called “Superior Mortgages” and

the due date therefor.

directly to the Superior Mortgagee all rent thereafter accruing, and Landlord acknowledges that the payment of such rent by Tenant to the Superior Mortgagee shall be a release of Tenant hereunder to the extent of all amounts so paid,

thereof, (iii) the Superior Mortgagee shall not be liable for its failure to collect, or its failure to exercise diligence in the collection of rent, but shall be accountable only for rent
that it shall actually receive and (iv) it shall execute and deliver to the Superior Mortgagee such documents as the Superior Mortgagee may reasonably request to evidence or effectuate the above agreements which are consistent with the
foregoing and do not reduce Landlord’s or the Superior Mortgagee’s obligations or Tenant’s rights or release Tenant’s obligations. 

B. Subject to the terms of any applicable SNDA Agreement, after receiving notice from any Superior Mortgagee that it holds a Superior
Mortgage, (a) no notice of default from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of such notice is given to such Superior Mortgagee and (b) Tenant shall not exercise any right to terminate this Lease or claim a partial
or total eviction or claim an abatement of or setoff against Rent by reason of Landlord’s acts or omissions until (i) it has given written notice of such act or omission to the Superior Mortgagee at its address so furnished and (ii) a
reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following such giving of notice and following the time when the Superior Mortgagee shall have become entitled under the Superior Mortgage to remedy the same (which shall in no
event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under this Lease to effect such remedy as extended by (x) the period of time required by the Superior Mortgagee to obtain possession of the Demised Premises if the Superior
Mortgagee cannot otherwise cure such act or omission and (y) the number of days caused by judicial restriction of Superior Mortgagee’s acts or by any other circumstance beyond Superior Mortgagee’s reasonable control), provided the
Superior Mortgagee shall, with reasonable diligence, give Tenant notice of intention to, and commence and continue to, remedy such act or omission or to cause the same to be remedied. 

9.04 Subject to the rights of any Recognized Mortgagee, upon notice from the Unit Ground Lease Landlord, Tenant shall make all payments of
rents, additional rents and other sums of money to Unit Ground Lease Landlord upon the occurrence of a monetary or material nonmonetary “Event of Default” (as defined in the Unit Ground Lease) under the Unit Ground Lease, and, in such
event, the Unit Ground Lease Landlord shall apply the said payments made to it, first, to retain all amounts that are due and payable to the Unit Ground Lease Landlord pursuant to this Lease, and second, to pay to Landlord all remaining amounts.
Landlord acknowledges that the payment of such rent by Tenant to the Unit Ground Lease Landlord shall be a release of Tenant hereunder to the extent of all amounts so paid. 

9.05 A. Subject to the provisions of any applicable SNDA Agreement, in the event of a termination of the Unit Ground Lease, or if the
interests of Landlord under this Lease are transferred by reason of or assigned in lieu of foreclosure or other proceedings for enforcement of any Superior Instrument or if any Superior Party acquires a lease in substitution therefor, then
(a) this Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by Tenant and (b) this Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by any subtenant or successor thereto unless Tenant is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a
judgment is obtained therein against Tenant. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit or qualify the rights of any Recognized Mortgagee, including its right to request a new lease pursuant to Section 31.6 of the Unit Ground Lease. 

B. Subject to the terms of any applicable SNDA Agreement, if any Superior Mortgagee or the nominee or designee of any Superior Mortgagee shall
succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise, then at the request and option of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights or at the
request of the Superior Mortgagee (herein called “Successor Landlord”), Tenant shall either (i) attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease, as if this Lease

reasonably request to evidence such attornment, or (ii) enter into a new lease with said Successor Landlord as landlord. Such attornment or new lease shall be on the same terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease, except

Landlord under this Lease to render the Premises ready for occupancy by Tenant, or (vii) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time the Successor Landlord succeeded to Landlord’s
interest in this Lease. Tenant hereby agrees to execute and deliver, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of the Successor Landlord any instrument which may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment. Tenant further
waives the provisions of any statute or rule or law now or hereafter in effect which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Demised Premises in the event any proceeding is
brought by any Superior Mortgagee to foreclose a Superior Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.05B shall be superseded by any SNDA Agreement entered into between Tenant and the Superior Mortgagee.

Lease ·Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed, that if the Unit Ground Lease should be terminated prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date (as defined in the Unit Ground Lease) or if Unit Ground Lease Landlord should succeed to

Landlord and each Condominium Board and utility companies and other service providers servicing the Building, the Unit and/or the Common Elements to erect, use and maintain pipes and conduits in and through the Demised Premises in concealed
locations beneath floors, behind core or perimeter walls or within existing column enclosures and above ceilings ; provided, however, to the extent there are alternative locations (which are permitted by Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements), that provide substantially the same service, do not cost materially more (unless Tenant, after being advised of the incremental cost, agrees to pay such cost to Landlord) and do not inconvenience other tenants of the
Building (by more than a de minimis extent) for the pipes and conduits outside of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall have the right to require Landlord to use such alternative locations. Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, Landlord
and agents, representatives, contractors and employees of Landlord and any Condominium Board shall have the right to enter the Demised Premises upon prior reasonable notice (except in an emergency, in which event Landlord shall endeavor to give such
notice as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances) during Business Hours (unless such entry in Tenant’s reasonable opinion is reasonably likely to adversely affect Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in any substantial or
material portion of the Premises or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of any substantial or material portion of the Premises, in which event, subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof, such access shall occur at times

Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, Landlord shall also have the right on reasonable prior notice during Business Hours to enter the Demised Premises, for the purpose of inspecting them
or exhibiting them to prospective purchasers, prospective superior lessors or superior mortgagees of the Building and/or the Unit. Landlord and each Condominium Board shall be allowed to take such material as shall be required for such day’s
work into the Demised Premises (provided that if excess material does not in Tenant’s reasonable opinion unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business and use of the Demised Premises, then Landlord and any Condominium Board can take such
reasonable amounts of material as is required for a commercially reasonable period into and upon the Demised Premises during periods when work is in progress (it being expressly understood and agreed that neither Landlord nor any Condominium Board
shall store any materials in the Demised Premises (other than in the freight elevator lobby and mechanical space) during the performance of such work other than in a location reasonably designated by Tenant which is adjacent to the area of required
work and any such storage shall be without liability to Landlord). Landlord shall clean up or cause to be cleaned up all work areas at the end of each day or block off such work areas in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with
Tenant’s business and use of the Demised Premises. 
 10.02 Subject to the provisions of this Article 10, throughout the Term of this
Lease, Landlord and any Condominium Board shall have free access to all mechanical installations located in the Unit or the Common Elements, including air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets, and Tenant shall not

the enclosures containing said installations. Neither Tenant, any Tenant Party nor any contractor, invitee or licensee of Tenant shall at any time enter the said enclosures or tamper with, adjust, touch or otherwise affect in any manner such
mechanical installations. 
 10.03 During the fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of (a) the Term of this Lease if the
Term shall not have been extended or renewed or (b) the Extension Term if the Term shall have been extended, Landlord may exhibit the Demised Premises to prospective tenants, upon prior reasonable notice to Tenant and in such a manner so as to
not unreasonably disrupt Tenant’s business. 
 10.04 Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with
Tenant’s access and use or occupancy of the Demised Premises in making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements and in inspecting and exhibiting the Demised Premises, and all of the foregoing shall be performed by Landlord with all
due diligence; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to employ contractors or labor at so called overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs or expenses whatsoever, except that Landlord,
at its expense, shall employ contractors or labor at so called overtime or other premium pay rates if necessary to remedy any condition that either (i) results in a denial of reasonable access to the Demised Premises, (ii) threatens the
health or safety of any occupant of the Demised Premises, or (iii) unreasonably interferes with Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in the affected portion of the Demised Premises; it being agreed, however, that in no event shall any
of the matters set forth in the aforementioned clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) be construed as requiring Landlord to, nor shall Landlord have any obligation to, employ any overtime or premium pay labor in order to complete the Base Building

any Base Building Work and/or any work necessary to satisfy any of the Ready for Occupancy Conditions on any overtime or premium pay basis), and provided Tenant is not then in monetary default or material non-monetary default hereunder, in each
instance, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Landlord shall employ contractors or labor at so called overtime or other premium pay rates

and incur any other overtime costs or expenses in making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, provided Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within thirty
(30) days after demand, an amount equal to the excess (a) the overtime or other premium pay rates, including all fringe benefits and other elements of such pay rates, over (b) the regular pay rates for such labor, including all fringe
benefits and other elements of such pay rates. In making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, Landlord shall cause its contractors or labor to cover and secure such repair areas and equipment in such a manner to minimize interference
with Tenant’s business operations during Business Hours. If more than one occupant of the Unit, including Tenant, is chargeable by Landlord for the same overtime costs and expenses relating to the same work for which Tenant is chargeable, then
Tenant shall only be charged for a proportionate share of such overtime costs and expenses, which apportionment shall be based on the amount of overtime work requested by such parties. During any entry permitted under this Section, Landlord and
Landlord’s agents shall accord all due care to Tenant’s Property (and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any person gaining entry to the Demised Premises (other than Tenant or any Tenant Entity) pursuant to Section
10.05 hereof to accord all due care to Tenant’s Property). Landlord shall promptly repair any damage to Tenant’s Property arising out of the performance of operations, maintenance or repairs performed by Landlord, or Landlord’s
employees, agents or contractors gaining entry to the Demised Premises (other than Tenant or any Tenant Entity) pursuant to the terms of Section 10.05 hereof. Tenant shall have the right to reasonably designate, by notice to Landlord, certain areas
of the Demised Premises (including, without limitation, any area containing a safe or any central computer or telephone equipment) as secure areas to which Landlord shall not have access without being accompanied by a representative of Tenant
(except in the case of an emergency). Landlord shall not be required to provide cleaning services to any such secure area unless Tenant makes access available to Landlord’s cleaning contractor. Tenant shall have the right to require that a
representative of Tenant accompany Landlord (and persons authorized by Landlord) during any entry into the Premises. Tenant agrees to have such representative present during Business Hours on Business Days, provided Landlord shall give reasonable
advance notice of the time it desires access. In addition, Tenant shall keep the Building manager’s office advised of the name and telephone number of the person or agency to be notified on behalf of Tenant in the event of any emergency and
shall provide such a representative at all times of the day and night. If such representative shall not be provided at any time after reasonable notice under the circumstances when access to the Premises shall be required or if in the event of an
emergency of Tenant, Landlord shall nevertheless have the right to enter the Premises, provided that during such entry, Landlord and Landlord’s agents shall accord all due care to Tenant’s Property. Landlord shall not have liability to
Tenant for any failure of Landlord to perform any of its obligations hereunder by reason of Landlord’s inability to enter the Premises. Landlord agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts to keep all information obtained by it or its agents
during such entry confidential and shall use reasonable efforts to prevent the disclosure of the same. 
 10.05 Subject to the rights of any
Superior Party, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to permit Tenant, throughout the Term of this Lease, to have a right of access through all other tenant spaces in the Unit (and, subject to and in accordance with the conditions and
limitations imposed upon any access by Landlord as contained in Sections 10.01 and 10.04 as if such other party were Landlord, other tenants of the Unit and NYTC shall have a right of access through the Demised Premises provided Tenant may require
that Tenant be present during such access) as necessary, to install, service, maintain and repair cables, conduits, risers, piping, etc. running through the Building for which Tenant (or, as applicable, other tenants or NYTC) is (or are) permitted
or required to install, service, maintain and repair, provided that the party desiring access (i.e., Tenant, NYTC or other tenants, as applicable) shall (a) provide Landlord and the party whose space is affected with reasonable prior notice of
the need for such access, (b) schedule such access so as not to unreasonably interfere with the affected party’s business or inconvenience other tenants or occupants of the Building or the

Tenant’s Conduit, (d) repair, at the accessing party’s expense, any damage to the Building, the Unit, the Common Elements or the accessed space arising out of such access and (e) indemnify and hold the party whose space is
affected harmless from and against any cost, claim, liability, damage or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by such party as a result of permitting such access and work, provided that
nothing in this Section 10.05 shall be deemed to limit Landlord’s obligations contained in this Article 10.

subject to criminal and/or civil liability or penalty by reason of noncompliance therewith. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and all Superior Parties against any cost or expense incurred by Landlord or any Superior Party by reason of such contest by
Tenant. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve Tenant of its obligation to comply (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) with all Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements in the making of any Tenant Changes, including any Specialty
Alterations. Without limiting the applicability of the foregoing, Landlord shall be deemed subject to prosecution for a crime if Landlord, any Landlord Party or any Superior Party or its officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, agents
or employees is charged with a crime of any kind whatsoever, unless such charges are withdrawn ten (10) days before Landlord, Landlord Party or any Superior Party or such officer, director, partner, member, shareholder, agent or employee, as
the case may be, is required to plead or answer thereto. The obligations of Tenant to indemnify Landlord and any Superior Parties under this Section 11.01B shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

cost and expense, through appropriate proceedings brought in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, Landlord’s obligation to comply therewith; provided that (a) neither Tenant nor any Tenant Party shall be subject to imprisonment
or prosecution for a crime, nor shall the Demised Premises or any part thereof be subject to being condemned or vacated, nor shall the certificate of occupancy for the Building be suspended or threatened to be suspended by reason of such
noncompliance or by reason of such contest, and (b) before the commencement of such contest, if Tenant or any Tenant Party may be subject to any civil fines or economic penalties or other criminal penalties or if Tenant may be liable to any
independent third party as a result of such noncompliance, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant (and any such Tenant Party) against the cost of such noncompliance and liability resulting from or incurred in connection with such contest or noncompliance.
The obligations of Landlord to indemnify Tenant under this Section 11.03 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 

ARTICLE 12

other Tenant Changes) and the fixtures and appurtenances therein or outside the Demised Premises as permitted hereunder, including any Supplemental HVAC System and, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (unless required due to the negligence or
willful misconduct of Landlord, in which case the same shall be performed by Landlord, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense), make all repairs thereto as and when needed in to preserve them in good working order and condition, except for
reasonable wear and tear, obsolescence and repairs or damage for which Tenant is not responsible for pursuant to the provisions of Article 17 and Article 18 hereof; it being agreed, however, that Tenant shall have no obligation to make structural
repairs unless the need for such repair was necessitated by reason of (a) any cause or condition arising out of any Tenant Changes or other alterations or installations in the Demised Premises (whether made by Tenant or by Landlord or any
Landlord Party on behalf of Tenant) or as hereinafter provided in this Section 12.01, or (b) Tenant’s particular manner of use or occupancy (as opposed to mere office use), or (c) any breach of any of Tenant’s covenants or

(from the point of connection within the Demised Premises) and (ii) any such Base System located outside of the Demised Premises to the extent it exclusively serves the Demised Premises but in such event Landlord shall perform such repairs at
Tenant’s sole but reasonable actual out of pocket cost and expense. All damage or injury to the Demised Premises, whether structural or non-structural, and to its fixtures, glass, appurtenances and equipment or to the Building, or to its
fixtures, glass, appurtenances and equipment caused by Tenant moving property in or out of the Building or by installation or removal of furniture, fixtures or other property, or from any other cause of any other kind or nature whatsoever due to the

maintain, repair and/or make replacements thereto, as appropriate, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall have no obligation to clean, repair, replace or maintain any “private” plumbing fixtures or facilities (i.e.,
plumbing fixtures and facilities other than those that would be the common toilets in a multi-tenant floor) or the rooms in which they are located but the foregoing shall not vitiate Landlord’s obligation to maintain the plumbing therefor that
is part the Base Systems to the point of connection to the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof.

which are expressly required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Section 12.01 above but subject to the provisions of Section 12.03 hereof, Landlord shall make or cause to be made all repairs and replacements, structural and otherwise, ordinary or
extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, necessary or desirable in order to keep in good order and repair (a) all structural portions of the Unit (whether located within or outside of the Demised Premises), (b) all Building common areas to

public service areas of the Building to the extent such areas serve or affect the Demised Premises or Tenant’s use thereof, including the plumbing, electrical, mechanical, Base HVAC System, fire protection, life safety and sprinkler systems of
the Unit (other than any distribution of such systems located in the Demised Premises), in each case throughout the Term, and in such manner as is consistent with the maintenance, operation and repair standards of Comparable Buildings, unless, in
any instance, any repair or replacement is required as a result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Party, in which case the same shall be performed by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. 

12.03 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord, subject to the provisions of Article 35 hereof, shall have no
obligation to operate, repair or maintain any portion of the Unit, the Building, the Common Elements and/or the Building common areas, or make any such repairs thereto, to the extent the same is the responsibility of any Condominium Board pursuant

are part of the Fit-out Work, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Landlord (including those of Landlord’s Consultant) in connection therewith as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after
demand. Landlord’s execution of Permit applications shall not constitute Landlord’s representation that the same comply with Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements or are suitable for the work intended nor shall it be deemed to
be a waiver by Landlord of the compliance by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant be permitted to commence any Material Tenant Change
until Landlord has approved any required plans therefor pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13.

and (viii) in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for consequential, indirect or special damages. If the Indemnified Party fails to give the Indemnified Party Notice within a time period so as not to prejudice the Indemnifying
Party’s or its insurer’s ability to defend effectively any action or proceeding brought on such claim or if the Indemnified Party shall not afford the Indemnifying Party the right to defend and control the defense of any such action or
proceeding and, in either of such events, the Indemnifying Party is adversely affected and prejudiced thereby, then the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation under the applicable indemnity set forth in this Lease with respect to such action or

 ARTICLE 17 

DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE 

17.01 If the Demised Premises or the Unit or the Building shall be partially damaged by fire or other cause, Tenant shall give prompt notice
to Landlord after becoming aware thereof and then Landlord shall (except as otherwise provided herein) repair and restore (i) the Base Systems serving the Premises up to the point of connection to the Premises and (ii) the columns, beams,
floor slabs, ceiling slabs and perimeter walls of the Premises and the curtain wall and foundation of the Building adjoining the Premises substantially in accordance with the Base Building Criteria therefor and, until the date (the “Casualty
Abatement Period Expiration Date”) which is the earlier to occur of (a) ninety (90) days after the date on which such repairs shall be Substantially Completed and (b) the date on which Tenant shall reoccupy such portion of
the Demised Premises for the conduct of its business, the Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent shall be apportioned according to the part of the Demised Premises which is usable by Tenant for the conduct of its business in normal fashion (i.e., Tenant
shall not be obligated to pay Fixed Rent and Additional Rent with respect only to the portion of the Demised Premises in which Tenant is unable to conduct business in normal fashion by reason of such fire or other cause, but in no event shall Tenant
be relieved of its obligation to pay the Additional Fixed Rent). Landlord shall notify Tenant at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Landlord expects such repairs will be Substantially Completed (or such lesser period as may
be equal to the estimated time period required for Landlord to perform such repairs). If the Demised Premises are totally or substantially damaged or are rendered wholly or substantially untenantable or inaccessible by fire or other cause insured or
required to be insured pursuant to this Lease, then the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent shall be proportionately paid up to the time of the casualty and thenceforth shall cease until the Casualty Abatement Period Expiration Date (but in no event
shall Tenant be relieved of its obligation to pay the Additional Fixed Rent), subject to Landlord’s or Tenant’s right to elect not to restore the same as hereinafter provided. If the Building, Common Elements or the Unit shall be so
damaged (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged in whole or in part) that Landlord or the Condominium Boards, as the case may be, shall decide to demolish it or not to rebuild it and Landlord shall terminate leases for office space in the
Unit affecting not less than sixty percent (60%) of the aggregate of RSF then under lease in the Unit, then Landlord may, within sixty (60) days after such fire or other cause, give Tenant a notice of such decision and thereupon the Term
of this Lease shall expire by lapse of time upon the tenth (10th) day after such notice is given, and Tenant shall promptly thereafter vacate the Demised Premises and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
Tenant hereby expressly waives the provision of Section 227 of the Real Property Law and agrees that the foregoing provision of this Article 17 shall govern and control in lieu thereof, ) this Article 17 being an express agreement. 

17.02 Except for the abatement of Rent set forth in Section 17.01 hereof, no damage, compensation or claims shall be payable by Landlord for
inconvenience, loss of business or annoyance arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Demised Premises, the Unit or of the Building. Landlord shall use reasonable and diligent efforts to effect the repairs required to be
performed by Landlord under this Article promptly and in such a manner as not unreasonably to interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the floors not affected by such damage or casualty (which reasonable efforts shall include coordination with
Tenant in scheduling such repairs or restoration but which shall in no event obligate Landlord to pay overtime or other premium rates).

 17.03 The parties hereto shall each procure and maintain in force and effect an appropriate
clause in, or endorsement on, any property insurance covering the Demised Premises and the Building and/or the Unit and the personal property, fixtures and equipment located therein or thereon and any rent insurance carried by Landlord and any
business interruption insurance carried by Tenant, pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation. Provided that its right of full recovery under its insurance policies is not adversely affected thereby, each of the parties hereto
hereby releases and will not make any claims against or seek to recover from the other for any loss or damage to its property resulting from fire or other hazards to the extent covered by such property or other insurance that each party is required
hereunder to maintain or does otherwise maintain hereunder (or to the extent the same would have been covered if the parties hereunder were carrying all insurance required hereunder). The waiver of subrogation in this Section 17.03 shall extend to
both Landlord Parties and Tenant Parties. 
 17.04 Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will not carry insurance on Tenant’s Property, any
Tenant Changes (including Specialty Alterations), or the Fit-out Work, and Tenant agrees that Tenant shall be solely responsible to insure and shall insure the same in accordance with the provisions of this Lease and that Landlord will not be
obligated to insure or repair any damage thereto or to replace the same. Unless this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Article 17, Tenant shall complete the repair and restoration of the Fit-out Work, the FF&E Work, any Tenant Changes and
Tenant’s Property within a reasonable period of time after the occurrence of the casualty and substantial completion of Landlord’s restoration obligations under this Article in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, including
Article 13 hereof, subject to delays due to Force Majeure. 
 17.05 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if all or any portion
of the Demised Premises is damaged or rendered untenantable or inaccessible by fire or other cause, then Landlord (if it has not theretofore cancelled this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall, within sixty (60) days after
such fire or other casualty (the “Restoration Trigger Date”), deliver to Tenant a statement (a “Restoration Damage Statement”) prepared by a reputable, independent licensed architect or engineer or contractor
selected by Landlord setting forth such architect’s or engineer’s or contractor’s reasonable estimate as to the time required to repair such damage, together with a notice from Landlord to the effect that if Tenant fails to respond to
such notice within the thirty (30) day period described in the following sentence, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 17.05. If the estimated time period to perform such
repairs extends beyond the date that is sixteen (16) months (or if such casualty shall occur during the last eighteen (18) months of the Term, within nine (9) months) following the Restoration Trigger Date (as such period may be
extended due to Force Majeure delay (not to exceed sixty (60) days) or due to Tenant Delay), Tenant may elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord sent not later than thirty (30) days following
receipt of the Restoration Damage Statement, time being of the essence with respect thereto. In the event that the Demised Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, and the repair work required to be performed by Landlord hereunder is not
Substantially Completed within sixteen (16) months (or if such casualty shall occur during the last eighteen (18) months of the Term, within nine (9) months) following the Restoration Trigger Date (as such period may be extended due
to Force Majeure delay (not to exceed sixty (60) days) or due to Tenant Delay) to such a degree that the Demised Premises are useable by Tenant (or such longer period as is set forth in the Restoration Damage Statement if Tenant does not
terminate this Lease pursuant to the provisions set forth hereinabove), Tenant may thereafter elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior notice (the “Restoration Termination
Notice”) to Landlord, cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date set forth in such Restoration Termination Notice (such date being the “Restoration Termination Date”), provided that such Restoration Termination Date
shall be no less than thirty (30) days after the giving of such Restoration Termination Notice by Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall properly deliver the Restoration Termination Notice, but the Demised Premises (and access
and services thereto, as the case may be) shall be substantially restored to the extent required herein on or prior to the Restoration Termination Date, then such Restoration Termination Notice shall be null and void and of no force or effect and
this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.

 17.06 In the event this Lease is terminated as provided in this Article 17, neither party
shall have the duty to repair and/or restore the Demised Premises or any other part of the Building. 
 17.07 Notwithstanding anything in
this Article 17 to the contrary, each Condominium Board, and not Landlord, subject to the provisions of Article 35 hereof, shall be responsible for all repairs to the Building, the Common Elements, the Unit and the Demised Premises which,
pursuant to the Condominium Documents, such Condominium Board is required to repair and/or restore, but Landlord shall be obligated to enforce the obligations of the Condominium Board as set forth in Article 35 hereof. 

ARTICLE 18 

CONDEMNATION 

18.01 If the whole or any material part of the Demised Premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain for any public or
quasi-public use or purpose, then and in that event, the term of this Lease shall cease and terminate from the date of title vesting in such proceeding and Tenant shall have no claim for the value of any unexpired term of this Lease. Tenant
acknowledges that Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire compensation or award therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make a separate claim in any eminent domain proceeding (affecting all or any portion of the Demised
Premises) solely for the then value of Tenant’s Property, the unamortized cost of all Tenant Changes made by Tenant to the Demised Premises at Tenant’s expense during the Term, any increased rent which Tenant is (or would be) required to
pay for new space, and/or for any moving expenses incurred by Tenant in connection therewith provided that any such award shall not result in a reduction of the award made to Landlord in connection therewith. If only a non-material part of the
Demised Premises shall be acquired or condemned by eminent domain as aforesaid and this Lease shall not be terminated, this Lease and the term of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, provided, however, that from and
after the date of the vesting of title, the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be equitably reduced to include only that portion of the Demised Premises that was not acquired or condemned by eminent domain. 

18.02 If the temporary use or occupancy of all or any part of the Demised Premises shall be taken by condemnation or in any other manner for
any public or quasi-public use or purpose during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to receive that. 1 , portion of the award or payment for such taking which represents compensation for the use and
occupancy of the Demised Premises, for the taking of Tenant’s Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to receive that portion which represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Premises. This Lease shall
be and remain unaffected by such taking and Tenant shall continue to be responsible for all of its obligations hereunder insofar as such obligations are not affected by such taking and shall continue to pay in full the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent
when due. If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date of this Lease, that part of the award which represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises (or a part thereof) shall be divided between
Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant shall receive so much thereof as represents the period up to and including such Expiration Date and Landlord shall receive so much thereof as represents the period after such Expiration Date. All monies paid as, or
as part of, an award or temporary use and occupancy for a period beyond the date to which the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent have been paid shall be received, held and applied by Landlord as a trust fund for payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional
Rent becoming due hereunder.

 ARTICLE 19 

BANKRUPTCY 
 19.01 To the
extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable Legal Requirements (collectively, “Bankruptcy Requirements”) if, at any time prior to the date herein fixed as the Commencement Date, a Bankruptcy Event shall occur,
this Lease shall be cancelled and terminated, in which event neither Tenant nor any Person claiming through or under Tenant (including Guarantor) or by virtue of any statute or of an order of any court shall be entitled to possession of the Demised
Premises and Landlord, in addition to the other rights and remedies given by Section 19.03 hereof and by virtue of any other provision herein or elsewhere in this Lease contained or by virtue of any statute or rule of law, may retain as liquidated
damages any rent, security, deposit or monies received by it from Tenant or others (including Guarantor) on behalf of Tenant upon the execution hereof. 

19.02 To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, if at the date fixed as the Commencement Date or if at any time during the
Term a Bankruptcy Event shall occur, this Lease, at the option of Landlord, exercised within a reasonable time after notice of the happening of any one or more of such events, may be cancelled and terminated, in which event neither Tenant nor any
Person claiming through or under Tenant by virtue of any statute or of an order of any court shall be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Demised Premises but shall forthwith quit and surrender the Demised Premises. 

19.03 To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, it is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of this
Lease pursuant to Sections 19.01 or 19.02 hereof, 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 equal to the difference
between the rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the Term demised and the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period. To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, 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 Demised Premises for the period for which such installment was payable
shall be discounted to the date of termination at the rate of the Prime Rate minus two percent (2%) per annum. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof be re-let by Landlord for the unexpired Term of this Lease, or any part thereof,
before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, to the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, 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 Demised Premises so re-let during the term of there-letting. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by
reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by the Bankruptcy Requirements 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. 
 19.04 To the extent allowable under the Bankruptcy Requirements, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on
behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or Rent, shall constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b )(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 ARTICLE 20 

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES; WAIVER OF REDEMPTION 

20.01 A. This Lease and the estate and the term hereby granted are subject to the limitation that if (i) Tenant shall default in
(a) the payment of the Fixed Rent reserved herein or any item of Recurring Additional Rent or any part of either, for a period of ten (10) days after notice to Tenant of such default or (b) the providing or maintaining of any security
required under Section 13.07 or Article 29 hereof (including the replacement of any cash security delivered upon the execution hereof with a Satisfactory Letter of Credit as required under Section 29.01 hereof) for a period of five
(5) days after notice to Tenant of such default; (ii) Tenant shall default in the payment of any other Additional Rent or any other payment herein provided for more than ten (10) Business Days after notice from Landlord of such
default; (iii) Tenant defaults in fulfilling any of the covenants of this Lease, other than the covenants for the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent or other enumerated defaults in this Section 20.01A, then, in any one or more of
such events, upon Landlord serving a written thirty (30) days’ notice upon Tenant specifying the nature of said default, and upon the expiration of said thirty (30) days, if Tenant shall have failed to comply with or remedy such
default, or if the said default or omission complained of shall be of such a nature that the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within said thirty (30) day period, and if Tenant shall not have diligently commenced curing such default
within said thirty (30) day period, and shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and in good faith proceed to remedy or cure such default; (iv) Tenant shall fail to pay the monthly installment of Fixed Rent, Additional Fixed Rent or
Recurring Additional Rent, more than three (3) times in any period of twelve (12) months by the later of (a) the tenth (10th) day of the month or (b) five
(5) Business Days after Landlord provides notice that such installment was not received; and/or (v) Guarantor has defaulted under the Lease Guaranty beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period set forth therein, then
in any of said events Landlord may give to Tenant notice of intention to terminate this Lease to end the Term and the estate hereby granted at the expiration of five (5) Business Days from the date of the giving of such notice, and, in the
event such notice is given, this Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) shall terminate upon the expiration of said five (5) Business Days with the same effect as if that day were the
Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as hereinafter provided in this Article 20. 
 B. Nothing in Section 20.01A
shall be deemed to require Landlord to give any further notice in addition to the notices, if any required under such Section prior to the commencement of a summary proceeding for nonpayment of rent or a plenary action for the 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 or occupancy, it shall become a holdover tenant. 
 20.02 If this Lease and the Term shall terminate as provided in Section
20.01A hereof: 
 (i) Landlord and Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors and/or subcontractors may at any time after
the Term shall terminate, re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, without further notice (other than the notices provided for in Section 20.01A hereof), either by summary proceedings or by any other applicable action or proceeding permitted by
law and/or (but only to the extent permitted by applicable law) by forcible entry, changing of locks, removal of Tenant’s Property and/or other “self-help” remedies (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages
therefor), and may repossess the Demised Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons from the Demised Premises and thereafter remove any and all of its or their property and effects from the Demised Premises, without Landlord incurring any
liability to Tenant on account thereof, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Demised Premises and in no event shall re-entry be deemed an acceptance of surrender of this Lease; and

 (ii) Landlord, at its option, may relet the whole or any part or parts of the
Demised 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 terms and 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 Demised Premises or any part thereof and Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for refusal
or failure to relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof or, in the event of such reletting, refusal or failure to collect any rent 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, alterations, additions, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Demised 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. 

20.03 Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waive any and all rights which Tenant and all such Persons might otherwise have to (a) the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end
(except for any notices expressly provided for in this Lease, including this Article 20)), (b) redeem the Demised Premises or any interest therein, (c) re-enter or repossess the Demised Premises, or (d) restore the operation of
this Lease, after Tenant shall have been dispossessed by a judgment or by a warrant of any court or judge, or after any re-entry by Landlord, or after any termination of this Lease, whether such dispossess, reentry by Landlord 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. 
 20.04 In the event of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant or Landlord hereunder or by any Person claiming
through or Tenant or Landlord, as the case may be, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, the other party shall have the right to enjoin such breach or threatened breach or, subject to the limitations contained herein, to invoke any other
right or remedy allowed by law or in equity. 
 20.05 If this Lease shall terminate as provided in Section 20.01A 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 Rents to the date upon
which this Lease shall have been terminated or to the date of re-entry upon the Demised Premises by Landlord, as the case maybe; 
 (b)
Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as advance rent, security or otherwise, but such monies shall be credited by Landlord against any Rents due at the time of such termination or re-entry (in
such order and in such amounts as Landlord shall elect in its sole discretion) or, at Landlord’s option, against any damages payable by Tenant and, after all such Rents and damages have been paid in full, any remainder shall be returned to
Tenant.

 (c) Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as damages, any deficiency between
(i) the Rents payable hereunder for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term (conclusively presuming the Recurring Additional Rent and Electricity Additional Rent to be the same as payable for the year
immediately preceding such termination or re-entry on an annualized basis if such Additional Rent was not paid for a full year) and (ii) the net amount if any of Rents (“Net Rent”) collected under any reletting effected
pursuant to the provisions of Section 20.02(ii) hereof for any part of such period (first deducting from the Rents collected under any such reletting all of Landlord’s costs and expenses in connection with the termination of this Lease or
Landlord’s re-entry upon the Demised Premises and in connection with such reletting, including, repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, alteration costs and other expenses of preparing the Demised Premises for such
reletting). 
 (d) Any deficiency in accordance with subsection (c) above shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the days
specified in this Lease for the payment of installments of Fixed 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 prior or subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Alternatively, suit or suits for the recovery of such deficiencies may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election.

 (e) If Tenant shall fail to pay to Landlord any amount referenced in subsection (c) or (d) above on the date when the sum shall be due or
in lieu thereof, then, without further notice to Tenant and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly deficiencies as aforesaid, Landlord, at its option, shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay Landlord, on
demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages and not as a penalty, a sum equal to the amount by which the Rents for the period to the then stated Expiration Date from the later of the date of termination of this Lease or the date through
which monthly deficiencies shall have been paid in full (conclusively presuming Recurring Additional Rent and Electricity Additional Rent to be the same as payable for the year immediately preceding such termination or re-entry on an annualized
basis if such Additional Rent was net paid for a full year) exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period, both discounted at the Prime Rate minus two percent (2%) per annum to present
worth. 
 (f) In no event shall Tenant be entitled (i) to receive any excess of any Net Rent under subsection (c) over the sums payable
by Tenant to Landlord hereunder or (ii) in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Section, to a credit in respect of any Net Rent from a reletting except to the extent that such Net Rent is actually received by Landlord prior
to the commencement of such suit. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space or for a term that extends beyond the then stated Expiration Date, then proper apportionment (on a per square foot rentable
area basis in the case of a reletting in combination with other space outside of the Demised Premises) shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting. 

20.06 A. If this Lease be terminated as provided in Section 20.01A or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding,
Tenant covenants and agrees, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease: 
 (i) that the Demised
Premises shall be required to be in the same condition as that in which Tenant has agreed to surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord on the Expiration Date; 

  
 115 

*** Information has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential Treatment has 

been requested with respect to the omitted portions. 









 CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED by Markit Ltd. 

 

 (ii) that Tenant, on or before the occurrence of any event of default
hereunder, shall have performed every covenant contained in this Lease relating to the making of any Tenant Changes to the Demised Premises or for repairing any part of the Demised Premises; and 

(iii) that, for the breach of either subsection (i) or (ii) of this Section 20.06A, or both, Landlord shall be entitled,
without limiting any other damages payable by Tenant hereunder, to recover, and Tenant shall pay, as and for agreed damages therefor, the then cost of performing such covenants, plus interest thereon at the Interest Rate for the period between the
date of the occurrence of any default and the date when any such work or act, the cost of which is computed, should have been performed under the other terms of this Lease had such default not occurred. 

B. Each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be deemed separate and independent, and not dependent on any other term of this
Lease for the use and occupation of the Demised Premises by Tenant, and the performance of any such term shall not be considered to be rent or other payment for the use of the Demised Premises. It is understood that the consideration for the
covenants in this Section is the making of this Lease, and the damages for failure to perform the same shall be in addition to and separate and independent of the damages accruing by reason of default in observing any other term of this Lease. 

20.07 Except as set forth in Section 16.08B hereof, nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by
Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. 

20.08 Each right and remedy provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right provided for in this
Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive relief), by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by a party of any one or more of such
rights shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such party of any or all other rights provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, by statute or otherwise. 

20.09 The provisions of this Article 20 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 ARTICLE 21 

COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT 

21.01 So long as this Lease is in full force and effect, Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy
the premises hereby demised, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this Lease. 
 ARTICLE 22 

SURRENDER OF PREMISES 

22.01 Upon the expiration or other termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, quit,
surrender, vacate and deliver the Demised Premises to Landlord broom clean and in good order, condition and repair except for ordinary wear, tear and damage by fire or other casualty and condemnation, together with all Tenant Changes (except as
otherwise provided for in this Lease and subject to Tenant’s obligation to remove any Specialty Alteration, Hazardous Materials and other items pursuant to the terms hereof) and shall remove all Tenant’s Property therefrom. 

22.02 A. Tenant acknowledges that possession of the Demised Premises must be surrendered to Landlord at the expiration or sooner termination
of the Term hereof. The parties recognize and agree that the damages to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to timely surrender possession of the entire Demised Premises as aforesaid will be substantial and may be impossible accurately to
measure as of the date hereof. Tenant desires to limit and liquidate said amounts and therefore agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant fails to surrender possession of the Demised Premises to
Landlord as required herein upon the Stated Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month and for each portion of any month during which Tenant holds over in the Demised Premises or any portion
thereof after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term hereof, for use and occupancy, the aggregate sum of (1) an amount equal to the greater of (aa) 150% for the first thirty (30) days of such holding over and 200% thereafter, of
the installment of the monthly Fixed Rent payable under this Lease for the last month of the Term and (bb) the monthly fair market rental value of the Demised Premises as of the date of such holdover, plus (2) one-twelfth (1/12) of
all items of Recurring Additional Rent which would have been payable monthly pursuant to this Lease had its Term not expired or been terminated, plus (3) those other items of Additional Rent which would have been payable pursuant to this
Lease. 
 B. Tenant agrees to pay the sums payable under Section 22.02A hereof on demand, in full, without setoff, and no extension or
renewal of this Lease shall be deemed to have occurred by such holding over, nor shall Landlord be precluded by accepting such aggregate sum for use and occupancy from exercising all rights and remedies available to it to obtain possession of the
Demised Premises. 
 C. The acceptance by Landlord of any such use and occupancy payment by Tenant pursuant to this subsection shall in no
event preclude Landlord from commencing and prosecuting a holdover or summary eviction proceeding, and the provisions of this Section shall be deemed be an “agreement expressly providing otherwise” within the meaning of Section 232-c
of the Real Property Law of the State of New York and any successor or similar law of like import. Nothing contained in this Section shall (i) imply any right of Tenant to remain in the Premises after the Expiration Date without the execution
of a new lease, (ii) imply any obligation of Landlord to grant a new lease or (iii) be construed to limit any right or remedy that Landlord has against Tenant as a holdover tenant or trespasser.

(i) Such letter of credit shall have a term of not less than one (1) year and shall pursuant to its terms be automatically
renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one (1) year each during the Term of this Lease (including the Extension Term, if applicable), unless the Issuing Bank sends written notice (hereinafter referred to as the
“Non-Extension Notice”) to Landlord by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, not less than sixty (60) days next preceding the then expiration date of the letter of credit, that it elects not to have such
letter of credit renewed; provided, however, in all events, such letter of credit shall be maintained for a period of sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date;

 C. To the extent that Landlord or any transferee or beneficiary under any letter of credit required
hereunder is required to pay any fee or other sum in connection with a transfer of any such letter of credit, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of demand, pay to Landlord the amount thereof, which sum shall be used to pay such fee or other sum

Tenant shall have received notice of such transfer; and upon any such transfer such vendee or lessee shall be deemed automatically, without any further act or notice by any party, to have assumed all obligations of Landlord with respect to the
security so transferred, and Tenant agrees to look solely to the new owner or landlord for the return of said security; and it is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security to a new owner or
landlord. Any letter of credit deposited hereunder shall be assignable to such new landlord (or its lender) as provided herein upon notice to the institution issuing same. Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber any
monies deposited hereunder as security and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment or encumbrance, or attempted assignment or encumbrance. 

G. In the event that at any time during the Term of this Lease (i) the net equity or combined capital and surplus of the Issuing Bank
shall be less than the minimum amount specified in Section 29.01B hereof, or (ii) that circumstances have occurred indicating that the Issuing Bank may be incapable of, unable to, or prohibited from honoring any then existing letter of
credit (such letter of credit hereinafter referred to as an “Existing L/C”) in accordance with the terms thereof, then, upon the happening of either of the foregoing, Landlord may send notice to Tenant (hereinafter referred to as
the

“Replacement Notice”) requiring Tenant within fifteen (15) Business Days to replace the Existing L/C with a new letter of credit (hereinafter referred to as a
“Replacement L/C”) from an Issuing Bank meeting the qualifications described in Section 29.01B hereof. Upon receipt of a Replacement L/C meeting the qualifications of Section 29.01B hereof, Landlord shall forthwith return
the Existing L/C to Tenant. In the event that (i) a Replacement L/C meeting the qualifications of Section 29.01B hereof is not received by Landlord within the time specified, or (ii) Landlord reasonably believes an emergency exists,
then in either event, the Existing L/C may be presented for payment by Landlord and the proceeds thereof shall be held by Landlord in accordance with the terms hereof, subject, however, to Tenant’s obligation, within fifteen (15) Business
Days thereafter, to replace such cash security with a new letter of credit meeting the qualifications of Section 29.01B hereof. 
 H.
If Tenant shall have delivered the letter of credit to Landlord, Tenant shall be permitted to deliver to Landlord a new letter of credit or an amendment to the existing letter of credit in the applicable amount. If a new letter of credit in the form
required hereunder is so delivered, Landlord shall simultaneously with Landlord’s receipt of the same, surrender the prior letter of credit to Tenant (or cash if such letter of credit has been drawn upon). Landlord’s rights with respect to
the letter of credit to be provided in accordance with this Section 29.01H shall be the same as if such letter of credit had been provided as the original letter of credit hereunder. 

29.02 Tenant shall be solely responsible for, and shall reimburse to Landlord within thirty (30) days of demand, all actual and
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord (or the then beneficiary under the letter of credit) incident to the issuance, replacement, transfer (including any transfer or other fees of the Issuing Bank), or amendment of any
letter of credit required hereunder (including reasonable attorney and other third-party fees, and any bank charges).

Section 31.01, Tenant hereby waives any monetary claim against Landlord which it may have based upon any assertion that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any consent or approval required to be given hereunder, and, in
any such event, Tenant agrees that its sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision or for specific performance, injunction, declaratory judgment or, to the extent expressly permitted hereunder, arbitration. In the
event of a determination favorable to Tenant, the requested consent or approval shall be deemed to have been granted; provided, however, except as set forth in the next sentence, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for its refusal to give
such consent or approval. The sole remedy for Landlord’s unreasonably withholding or delaying of consent or approval shall be as set forth in this Section; 

provided, however, that if it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that either party acted capriciously and in bad
faith, then such party shall be liable to the other for the Actual Damages incurred by such party.

applicable notice and/or cure period, promptly forward such request to such of the foregoing parties from whom consent is required and, in any such case, Landlord shall in no event be deemed to have unreasonably withheld or delayed any such request
for consent or approval nor shall such matter be permitted hereunder if any of the foregoing parties shall fail to respond to such request (unless such failure is deemed to constitute consent under the applicable Superior Obligation Instrument) or
shall deny same. If Landlord shall so determine that any such matter requires the consent or approval of any of the foregoing parties, Landlord shall use good faith reasonable efforts to obtain from such parties such consent or approval (but without
any obligation to pay any fee to such party unless Tenant agrees to pay the same); provided that Tenant shall submit to Landlord, upon Landlord’s request therefor, all plans, specifications or other materials, information or documentation as
may be reasonably required by such parties, in connection with each such parties’ respective consideration of such request. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, as Additional Rent, all actual
out-of-pocket fees, charges or other expenses Landlord may incur arising out of any such request for consent or approval.

to time, within twenty (20) days next following request by Landlord (but no more than twice in any calendar year unless Landlord requires the same in connection with a sale or financing) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or such other Person as
Landlord may reasonably request a written statement executed by Tenant, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord or such other Person, (1) certifying that this Lease is then in full force and effect and has not been modified (or if modified,

Party, or by an assignee or successor of a Superior Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the immediately preceding sentence, any statement delivered pursuant to this Section shall reflect the state of facts existing only as
of the date it is given by Tenant. 
 31.04 From time to time, within twenty (20) days next following request by Tenant (but not more
than twice in any calendar year), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written statement executed by Landlord in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant (i) stating that this Lease is then in full force and effect and has not been modified (or if
modified, setting forth all modifications), (ii) setting forth the date to which the Fixed Rent, the Recurring Additional Rent and any other items of Rent have been paid, (iii) stating whether or not, to the knowledge of Landlord, Tenant
is in default under this Lease, and, if Tenant is in default, setting forth the specific nature of all such defaults, and (iv) as to any other matters reasonably requested by Tenant and related to this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the

CONDOMINIUM 
 35.01 This
Lease is expressly subject to all covenants, conditions, provisions, and requirements of the Condominium Documents. 
 35.02 A. All of the
provisions of the Condominium Documents shall be deemed and taken to be covenants running with the Land, the Building and the Unit (subject and subordinate to the Ground Lease and the Unit Ground Lease), as though such provisions were recited and
stipulated at length herein and in each and every other lease of the Unit (or to any portion of the Unit). Tenant shall comply with all of the terms and provisions of the Condominium Documents relating to the use and occupancy of the Demised
Premises and shall not take any action, or fail to take any action which it is obligated to perform under this Lease, which would cause Landlord to be in default or violation under any of the Condominium Documents.

utilities or service to the Unit or to repair or restore the Common Elements, the Unit and/or the Demised Premises or any appurtenance thereto, or to take any other action which the Condominium Boards are required to take under the Condominium

exercise (as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion) of such rights that Landlord may have as Unit Owner under the Condominium Declaration) and Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any Condominium Obligation nor shall Landlord
have any liability to Tenant for the failure of any Condominium Board to provide or comply with the Condominium Obligations unless Landlord or a Landlord Entity is in control of such Board, in which event Landlord shall be liable for and shall be
responsible for the performance of such Condominium Obligation. Except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall not have liability to Tenant for any damage which may arise, nor shall Tenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished by
reason of, (i) the failure of any Condominium Board to keep, observe or perform any of its obligations pursuant to the terms of the Condominium Documents, or (ii) the acts, omissions or negligence of any Condominium Board, its agents,
contractors, or employees. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall do anything that would constitute a default under the Condominium Documents or omit to do anything that such party is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease so as to cause there to
be a default under the Condominium Documents, or cause the other to incur any expense or liability under the Condominium Documents (and, if either party shall cause the other to incur any such expense in violation hereof, the causing party shall
reimburse the other within thirty (30) days after demand). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Landlord’s obligation to provide services in accordance with Article 6 or electricity to the Demised

any given Operating Expense Year that Tenant is reviewing, upon notice by Tenant to Landlord given simultaneously with Tenant’s request to review the Records as permitted under Section 4.04A hereof for the same Operating Expense Year. In
the event such books and records are not available or made available to Tenant when Tenant otherwise commences its review of the other Records relating to Operating Expenses, then, subject to the limitations contained in the Condominium Documents,

remote assignee or subtenant of Tenant the terms of the Condominium Documents, if the actions of Tenant (or such assignee or subtenant) shall be in breach of the Condominium Documents, to the extent that the same would entitle the Condominium Boards

later than sixty (60) days following the Commencement Date (time being of the essence). If Tenant does not exercise the Antenna Option within such period (time being of the essence) this Article 36 shall be null and void. If Tenant timely

the Antenna to the Demised Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense as described on Exhibit 36.01 and in a location, manner, material and size approved by Landlord, acting reasonably. Landlord, at Landlord’s cost, shall install and
maintain a submeter to measure electricity usage in connection with Persons permitted by Landlord to use the Mast. In the event Tenant exercises the Antenna Option as aforesaid, Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, Tenant’s share (based on the
total number of Persons permitted by Landlord to use the Mast (and not otherwise separately submetered) from time to time) of the cost of consumption indicated on such submeter (computed by applying the kw and kwh (on and off-peak, if applicable) of
such consumption to the Electric Rates paid by Landlord, (without any premium or administrative markup), plus any reasonable third party fees associated with the reading of such meters).

signals or other similar types of communications between and among the various divisions, departments, subsidiaries and Affiliates of Tenant and to receive signals from commercial satellites. In no event shall the Antenna be used for general or
commercial broadcasting, any similar or related broadcast use or cellular or other wireless services. The transmission or receipt of signals by or for any other Person shall constitute a prohibited use of the Antenna and a default under this Lease.
Tenant shall nevertheless notify Landlord in writing of any instance(s) wherein the Antenna is used for general broadcasting purposes. Copies of any filings or statements which Tenant may now or hereafter be required to make, from time to time, with
any federal, state or city agency certifying as to the use of the Antenna shall be delivered to Landlord. 
 36.03 Tenant shall diligently

 36.09 Throughout the Term, Tenant shall inspect the Antenna at least once a month. Tenant
shall be solely responsible for preserving the watertight integrity of the roof as may be caused by, or relates to, the installation, maintenance, operation and repair of the Antenna. Tenant shall be responsible for all leaks in the roof arising out
of or connected to its installation of Tenant’s Antenna. Tenant’s Antenna shall not exceed the applicable load bearing capacity of the Mast. 

36.10 A. If, at any time during the Term hereof, Landlord, in good faith, shall determine that it is necessary to relocate the Antenna to
another location on the Mast or is otherwise required to do so as a result of rights granted to NYTC under the Condominium Documents, then Landlord may give notice thereof to Tenant. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of Landlord’s notice
or, if a governmental permit is required to be obtained for installation of the Antenna in the new location, then, within thirty (30) days of the obtaining of such permit (which Tenant shall make prompt application for, with Landlord’s
reasonable cooperation, at Landlord’s cost), Tenant, at Landlord’s cost, shall move the Antenna (installing new tie-ins between the Antenna and Tenant’s equipment relating to the Antenna in the Demised Premises and arranging for an
automatic cut-over so as to minimize any interference with Tenant’s operations occasioned by such move) to the new location. 
 B.
Tenant’s operation or use of the Antenna shall not prevent or interfere with the operation or use of any equipment of any present or future tenant or occupant of the Building. If, at any time during the Term hereof, Landlord, in good faith,
shall reasonably determine that Tenant’s Antenna causes interference with other equipment or emits radiation in amounts which may be hazardous to, or interfere with the use or occupancy of, any other tenant(s) in the Building, then Landlord may
so notify Tenant, and require Tenant to replace the Antenna with another antenna which would not cause such interference (the “Replacement Antenna”). Tenant, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice or, if any permit
is required under applicable Legal Requirements and/or Insurance Requirements to install such Replacement Antenna, then, within thirty (30) days after the obtaining of such permit (which Tenant shall make prompt application for, with
Landlord’s cooperation but at no cost to Landlord), shall replace the Antenna with the new non-interfering Replacement Antenna which shall then be the Antenna hereunder. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord to allow any antennas desired on
the Mast by any other tenants or occupants of the Building and/or the Unit. 
 36.11 Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has made
no warranties or representations as to the conditions or suitability of the Mast or the Building, or of the roof of the Building for (a) the clear reception and/or transmission of signals to or from the Antenna nor (b) the installation,
use, maintenance or operation of the Antenna and Tenant agrees to accept use of its position on the Mast in its then “as is” condition and without any work or alterations to be made by Landlord.

Extension Threshold Conditions are satisfied as of the date Tenant delivers to Landlord the Extension Election Notice, Tenant shall have the option to extend the Initial Term (the “Extension Option”) for one (1) additional
approximately five (5) year term (the “Extension Term”) commencing on the day (the “Extension Term Commencement Date”) immediately following the Stated Expiration Date and ending on January 31, 2024 (the

Tenant may have had to renew the Term of this Lease, (c) this Article 39 shall immediately be null and void and of no further force or effect and (d) Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord to confirm such non-exercise in writing, but

 39.03 This Lease, as so extended during the Extension Term, shall be upon the same terms and
conditions as contained in this Lease, except that (a) the annual Fixed Rent for the Extension Term shall be a sum equal to 100% of the then fair market rental value of the Demised Premises (which may include periodic increases to the extent
consistent with the then current market terms for such space) determined as of the Extension Term Commencement Date; (b) the Demised Premises shall be delivered in its then “as is” condition; (c) Landlord shall not be

hereof or such option shall be deemed waived and all of Tenant’s rights with respect thereto shall wholly cease, terminate and expire. Time shall be of the essence in connection with the exercise of the Extension Option and the delivery of the
Extension Election Notice by Tenant hereunder. The Extension Election Notice shall be irrevocable by Tenant upon delivery. If Tenant shall fail to duly exercise the Extension Option, (i) this Article 39 shall immediately be null and void and of
no further force or effect and (ii) Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord to confirm such nonexercise in writing, but failure to do so by Tenant shall not operate to revive any rights of Tenant under this Article. If the Extension Election
Notice does not strictly comply with the requirements set forth herein, it shall be deemed in such event that Tenant failed to timely deliver the Extension Election Notice. 

B. Landlord and Tenant shall seek to agree in writing as to the amount of such fair market rental value for the Demised Premises, taking into
consideration all then relevant factors. 
 39.05 If Landlord and Tenant shall not agree as to such fair market rental value by the date
which is thirteen (13) months prior to the then stated Expiration Date, then each of Landlord and Tenant, by no later than twelve (12) months prior to the then stated Expiration Date, simultaneously shall meet and exchange notices setting
forth (i) the annual fair market rental value that such party believes is the basis for the Fixed Rent which should be paid by Tenant hereunder (which annual fair market rental value may differ from any terms previously proposed by the parties)
and (ii) the name and address of an arbitrator designated by such party meeting the standards therefor set forth in Article 42 hereof, and in such event said annual fair market rental value (unless Landlord and Tenant shall each propose the
same amount therefor) shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 42 hereof. 
 39.06 A. If, on the
Extension Term Commencement Date, the amount of the Fixed Rent payable during the Extension Term in accordance with the foregoing paragraphs of this Article shall not have been determined, then, pending such determination, Tenant shall pay Fixed
Rent at the rate which is the average of the rates proposed by Landlord and Tenant for the Extension Term in their respective arbitration notices (the “Temporary Rate”). After the determination the amount of the Fixed Rent payable
during the Extension Term as aforesaid, if such rental value is greater or less than the

rental value determined as provided herein, together with interest at the Prime Rate on the amount so paid; and the Fixed Rent as so determined shall be payable during the Extension Term. 

B. Upon determination of the Fixed Rent for the Extension Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other an
agreement specifying the amount of the Fixed Rent for the Extension Term (but any failure to execute such an agreement shall not affect Tenant’s obligation to pay and Landlord’s right to receive such Fixed Rent). Any termination,
cancellation or surrender of this Lease shall terminate any rights of Tenant under this Article.

Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power over the then total reserved emergency power capacity available to tenants in the Unit using the Emergency Generators and the capacity of the Unit

solely on the Emergency Generators). 
 C. Tenant shall not sell Tenant’s Emergency Reserved Power to (i) any other tenant or

Section 41.01A hereof, Landlord shall (subject to availability) maintain fuel in the fuel tank at a level necessary to operate the Unit Generator and the Emergency Generator for a commercially reasonable period and otherwise in accordance with
customary practices of prudent owners of Comparable Buildings in the Times Square area. Landlord reserves the right, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion to the extent required to conserve fuel due to the fact that sufficient supplies may not be
then reasonably available, to temporarily suspend or curtail the operation of the Emergency Generators pending the next fuel delivery in order to provide certain Building services through the Unit Generator required by applicable Legal Requirements.
If Tenant elects to have Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power available for Tenant’s use as provided in Section 41.01A hereof, Landlord shall endeavor to provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice of any such shutdown. Landlord agrees

Reserved Emergency Power to the Premises and to Tenant’s equipment including installation of automatic transfer switches, disconnect switches, distribution panels, wire and cabling. In connection therewith, Tenant shall have the right to
distribute Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power throughout the Premises as Tenant so determines (subject to the approval by Landlord of Tenant’s distribution plan, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If Tenant elects to have

Generators and Landlord does not enforce such rules and regulations against in a discriminatory manner. Any damage or loss resulting from the use by Tenant of the Emergency Generators shall be borne by Tenant and Landlord shall not have liability to
Tenant on account thereof.

 41.05 Upon notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the immediate right to temporarily
disconnect Tenant’s connection facilities, temporarily discontinue providing Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power from the Emergency Generators if (a) Landlord, in good faith, determines that a dangerous condition exists and/or
(b) Tenant’s connection facilities (i) have been installed improperly or without all necessary approvals of relevant Governmental Authorities or (ii) fail to comply with the connection thereto as approved by Landlord including
exceeding a connected load equal to Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power; it being agreed that any such temporary disconnection or discontinuance will only be for as long as any such condition exists. Landlord, its agents and engineers and
consultants may survey Tenant’s connected load to the Emergency Generators from time to time during Business Hours upon reasonable prior notice (except during an emergency, in which event no prior notice shall be required), at Landlord’s
expense, to determine whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Article unless such survey shows that Tenant has exceeded Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power or otherwise violated Tenant’s obligations hereunder in which
event Tenant shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. If Tenant elects to have Tenant’s Reserved Emergency Power available for Tenant’s use as provided in
Section 41.01A hereof, Tenant shall compile and promptly provide to Landlord a list of sheddable and critical loads so that, if Landlord determines that circumstances warrant during an emergency (as may occur, for example, if Landlord’s
diesel system cannot operate at full capacity) specified loads can be disconnected in the manner so identified in advance by the parties. 

41.06 Tenant understands and agrees that Landlord provides emergency power on an as-is where-is basis, without express or implied warranties
of any kind, including warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any damages including consequential, indirect, special exemplary, or punitive damages, or any lost revenues or lost
profits, to the extent that the Emergency Generators fail to provide emergency power to Tenant or that the Emergency Generators damage the Tenant’s systems or property. 

41.07 The rights granted in this Article 41 are given in connection with, and as part of the rights created under, this Lease and are not
separately transferable or assignable. Any termination, cancellation or surrender of this Lease shall terminate any rights of Tenant under this Article.

party fails to notify the first party of the appointment of its arbitrator and the basis for the annual fair market rental value as provided in said Sections, then the appointment of the second arbitrator shall be made in the same manner as
hereinafter provided for the appointment of a third arbitrator. The arbitrators so chosen shall meet within ten (10) Business Days after the second arbitrator is appointed and within thirty (30) days thereafter shall decide the dispute. If
within said period they cannot agree upon their decision, they shall appoint a third arbitrator and if they cannot agree upon said appointment, then the third arbitrator shall be appointed upon their application or upon the application of either
party, by the AAA. The three arbitrators shall meet and decide the dispute. The arbitrators so specified in such notices shall be licensed real estate brokers or doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State

said Borough. The third arbitrator shall be required to select either the annual fair market rental value proposed by Landlord or the annual fair market rental value proposed by Tenant in their respective arbitration notices based on which rental
value such third arbitrator determines is closer to the actual annual fair market rental value based upon all relevant factors. In designating arbitrators and in deciding the dispute, the arbitrators shall act in accordance with the rules then in
force of the AAA, subject, however, to such limitations as may be placed upon them by the provisions of this Lease. Judgment may be had on the decision and award of the arbitrators so rendered in any court. 

42.02 The arbitrator(s) conducting any arbitration shall be bound by the provisions of this Lease and shall not have the power to add to,
subtract from, or otherwise modify such provisions. Landlord and Tenant agree to sign all documents and to do all other things reasonably necessary to submit any such matter to arbitration and further agree to, and hereby do, waive any and all
rights they or either of them may at any time have to revoke their agreement hereunder to submit to arbitration and to abide by the decision rendered thereunder which shall be binding and conclusive on the parties. Landlord and Tenant shall each
have the right to appear and be represented by counsel before said arbitrator(s) and to submit such data and memoranda in support of their respective positions as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in the circumstances. 

42.03 Except as otherwise provided in this Article, each party shall pay the expenses and fees of its designated arbitrator and share equally
the expenses and fees of the third arbitrator. 
 ARTICLE 43 

MISCELLANEOUS 
 43.01
Except in connection with Tenant’s initial move-in to the Demised Premises, but subject to Section 2.01 hereof and Article 13 hereof, Tenant shall not move any safe, heavy equipment or bulky matter in or out of the Building without
Landlord’s consent, which consent Landlord agrees not unreasonably to withhold. If the movement of such items is required to be done by persons holding a Master’s Rigger’s License, then all such work shall be done in full compliance
with the Administrative Code of the City of New York and other municipal requirements. Except in connection with Tenant’s initial move-in to the Demised Premises, but subject to Section 2.01 hereof and Article 13 hereof, all such movements
shall be made during hours which will minimize interference with the normal operations of the Building, and all damage caused by such movement shall be promptly repaired by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Unless installed in
connection with an approved Tenant Change, Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Demised Premises which exceeds the load per square foot which such floor was designed in accordance with the Building Criteria to carry and which is
allowed by Legal Requirements. 
 43.02 In the event that an excavation or any construction should be made for Building or other purposes
upon land adjacent to the Real Property, or should be authorized to be made, Tenant shall, upon reasonable prior notice, if necessary, afford to the person or persons causing or authorized to cause such excavation or construction or other purpose,
the right to enter upon the Demised Premises for the purpose of doing such work as shall reasonably be necessary to protect or preserve the wall or walls of the Unit, or the Building, from injury or damage and to support them by proper foundations,
pinning and/or underpinning, or otherwise, provided that any disturbed areas of the Demised Premises are promptly restored to substantially their prior condition.

 43.03 Each of Landlord and Tenant waives the right to trial by jury in any summary proceeding
that may hereafter be instituted against such party or generally in any action that may be brought hereunder, provided such waiver is not prohibited by law. Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim in any summary proceeding, except for compulsory
counterclaims. 
 43.04 In the event of any dispute between Landlord and Tenant in any way related to this Lease, and whether involving
contract and/or tort claims, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, without restriction by statute, court rule or otherwise,
incurred by the prevailing party in connection with any action or proceeding (including any appeal and the enforcement of any judgment or award), whether or not the dispute is litigated or prosecuted to final judgment. The “prevailing
party” shall be determined based upon an independent assessment of which party’s major arguments or positions taken in the action or proceeding could fairly be said to have prevailed (whether by compromise, settlement, abandonment by the
other party of its claim or defense, final decision, after any appeals, or otherwise) over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues. Any such fees incurred in enforcing a judgment shall be recoverable separately
from any other amount included in the judgment and shall survive and not be merged in the judgment. 
 43.05 The failure of Landlord or
Tenant to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or, as applicable, any of the Rules and Regulations attached hereto or hereafter adopted by Landlord, shall not prevent a
subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Demised Premises
prior to the termination of this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agent shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Demised Premises. The receipt or acceptance by Landlord, or
payment by Tenant, of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord or Tenant unless such waiver be in writing

	 	(c)	Tenant’s liability under this Section 13 with respect to (i) the OP Year in which Tenant is first obligated to make a PILOOPEX payment hereunder and (ii) the OP Year in which the 38C Term or 38D

	 	(d)	In no event shall the Fixed Rent ever be reduced by operation of this Section 13. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease. 


 

	 	(e)	Wherever in the Lease there is a reference to “Tenant’s Operating Expense Payment”, then solely with respect to the Expansion Premises, as applicable, such reference shall be deemed to refer to the
payment of PILOOPEX hereunder. 

  

	14.	Option to Extend the Term of the Expansion Premises; Must-Take Premises: 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the terms hereof, Tenant is hereby granted an option to extend the Term of the Expansion Premises (the “Expansion Extension Option”) for one (1) period, commencing as of the day
immediately following the Expansion Premises Expiration Date (the “Expansion Extension Commencement Date”) and continuing through August 31, 2018 (the “Expansion Extension Term”), provided Tenant shall notify
Landlord, in writing, no less than six (6) months prior to the Expansion Expiration Date, of Tenant’s intention to exercise such option (the “Expansion Extension Notice”), and provided further that at the time of
said Expansion Extension Notice, as well as of the Expansion Extension Commencement Date, Tenant has fully complied with the terms and conditions of the Lease and the Expansion Extension Threshold Conditions (the “Threshold
Conditions”) cited below: 

  

	 	(b)	For purposes of this First Amendment, the Threshold Conditions shall mean the following: 

  

	 	(i)	Tenant is leasing the entire Expanded Demised Premises directly from Landlord; 

  

	 	(ii)	Tenant Entities are in actual occupancy (i.e., exclusive of assignees, subtenants or other occupants which are not Tenant Entities) of at least eighty percent (80%) of the Rentable Square Feet of the
Expanded Demised Premises; 

  

	 	(iii)	there shall be no monetary default or non-monetary default by Tenant under the Lease, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure periods, if any; and 


 

	 	(iv)	Tenant must exercise the Expansion Extension Option with respect to the entirety of the Expansion Premises (not just with respect to the individual 38C Premises or 38D Premises). 


If all of the Threshold Conditions are not satisfied, either as of the date of the Expansion Extension Notice or on the intended Expansion
Extension Commencement Date, then, unless Landlord waives compliance with same (in its sole and absolute discretion): (A) the Expansion Extension Notice shall be null

and void and of no force or effect; (B) Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived any rights pursuant to this Section 14; (C) this Section 14 shall be null
and void and of no further force or effect and (D) Tenant agrees upon request of Landlord to confirm such non-exercise in writing, but failure to do so by Tenant shall not operate to waive, cure or reinstate any rights of Tenant under this
Section 14. 
  

	 	(c)	If exercised, the Expansion Extension Option, shall be upon the same terms and conditions of the Lease, except that (i) the annual Fixed Rent during the Expansion Premises Extension Term shall be an amount equal to
the greater of (A) the annual Fixed Rent for the year immediately preceding the Expansion Premises Extension Term and (B) 100% of the then fair market rental value of the Expansion Premises, determined as of the Expansion Extension
Commencement Date; (ii) the Premises shall be delivered in its then “AS IS” condition and (iii) Landlord shall not be required to do any work to or in the Expansion Premises or provide any work allowance or free rent period or
concession in connection with Tenant’s continued occupancy of the Expansion Premises. 

  

	 	(d)	The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that this First Amendment contains no additional extension options other than the Expansion Premises Extension Option. 


 

	 	(e)	 Landlord and Tenant shall agree in writing as to the amount of such fair market rental value for the Expansion Premises, taking into consideration all
then relevant factors. If Landlord and Tenant shall not agree as to such fair market rental value by the date which is three (3) months prior to the Expansion Expiration Date, then each of Landlord and Tenant, by no later than two
(2) months prior to the Expansion Expiration Date, shall meet and exchange notices setting forth (i) the annual fair market rental value that such party believes is the basis for the Fixed Rent which should be paid by Tenant for the
Expansion Premises during the Expansion Extension Term (which annual fair market rental value may differ from any terms previously proposed by the parties) and (ii) the name and address of an arbitrator designated by such party meeting the
standards therefor set forth in Article 42 of the Lease, and in such event said annual fair market rental value (unless Landlord and Tenant shall each propose the same amount therefor) shall be determined in arbitration in accordance with Article 42
of the Lease. If on the Expansion Extension Commencement Date, the amount of Fixed Rent payable during the Expansion Extension Term in accordance with this Section 14(d) shall not have been determined, then pending such determination, Tenant
shall pay Fixed Rent at the rate which is the average of the rates proposed by Landlord and Tenant in their respective arbitration notices (the “Expansion Extension Temporary Rate”). After the determination of the amount of Fixed
Rent payable during the Expansion Extension Term as set forth above, if such rental value is greater or less than the Expansion Extension Temporary Rate, Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant the excess of the Expansion Extension Temporary Rate over
(or Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord the shortfall of the Expansion Extension Temporary Rate below) the

fair market rental value determined as provided herein, together with interest at the Prime Rate on the amount so paid; and the Fixed Rent as so determined shall be payable during the Expansion
Extension Term. Upon determination of the Fixed Rent as set forth above, Landlord and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other an agreement specifying the amount of the Fixed Rent for the Expansion Extension Term (but any failure
to execute such an agreement shall not affect Tenant’s obligation to pay and Landlord’s right to receive such Fixed Rent). Any termination, cancellation or surrender of the Lease shall terminate any rights of Tenant under this Section
14. 

  

	 	(f)	Within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s delivery of the Expansion Extension Notice, Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant (the “Must Take Notice”) indicating that, as an
additional condition to Tenant’s exercising the Expansion Extension Option, Tenant shall lease that certain office space located in the northern portion of Suite E of the 381 floor, consisting of approximately 6,000 Rentable Square Feet, as
outlined on Exhibit A-3 attached hereto (the “Must Take Premises”), on the same terms and conditions as the Expansion Extension Option for the Expansion Premises (including, without limitation, Section 14(c).
The Tax Base Year and the OP Base Year for the Must Take Premises shall be 2014. 

  

	 	(g)	If Landlord shall deliver the Must Take Notice, then Tenant shall within fifteen (15) days notify Landlord if it agrees to lease the Must Take Premises in accordance with the foregoing. 


 

	 	(h)	If Tenant shall elect to lease the Must Take Premises, then the Must Take Premises shall become part of the Expanded Demised Premises on the Expansion Extension Commencement Date. 


 

	 	(i)	In the event that Tenant shall elect not to lease the Must Take Premises, then (i) the Expansion Extension Option shall be null and void; (ii) Tenant shall surrender the Expansion Premises on the Expansion
Expiration Date in accordance with Article 22 of the Lease; (iii) the Lease shall terminate with respect to the Expansion Premises, and (iv) the Parties shall be released from their obligations under the Lease with respect to the Expansion
Premises, except for those provisions in the Lease which are expressly stated to survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of the Lease. If Tenant shall fail to respond to the Must Take Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected
not to lease the Must Take Premises. 

  

	 	(j)	 In the event that Tenant shall elect to lease the Must Take Premises, on or prior to the Expansion Extension Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant
agree to enter into a mutually agreeable amendment to the Lease setting forth: (i) the final square footage of the Must Take Premises, as reasonably determined by Landlord; (ii) adjustments to Tenant’s Proportionate Tax Share as a
result of the addition of the Must Take Premises; (iii) the determination of PILOOPEX for the OP Base Year for the Must Take Premises (which OP Base Year shall be the calendar year during which the Expansion Extension Commencement Date shall

occur); (iv) if it has been determined pursuant to Section 14(d) above, the fair market rental value for the Expansion Premises and, the Must Take Premises and (v) such other
terms and conditions reasonably and customarily required to evidence the addition of the Must Take Premises to the Expanded Demised Premises, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of Landlord and Tenant to enter into the
foregoing amendment shall not affect the obligation of Tenant to accept possession of the Must Take Premises on the Expansion Extension Commencement Date and fulfill all obligations of the Lease with respect thereto, including, without limitation,
the obligation to pay Rent. 

  

	15.	Insurance: 

  

	 	(a)	Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, either prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of this First Amendment: 

  

	 	(i)	evidence that Tenant is insured for the 38C Expansion Premises, in compliance with the minimum requirements set forth in Article 16 of the Lease, including comprehensive general public liability and property damage
coverage in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 for injury (or death) and damage to property; and 

  

	 	(ii)	evidence of inclusion of all the entities listed on Exhibit B attached hereto as Additional Insureds under Tenant’s Policy. 


 

	 	(b)	Tenant shall deliver the foregoing evidence of insurance with respect to the 38D Expansion Premises prior to the 38D Expansion Premises Commencement Date. 


 

	 	(c)	Tenant shall provide, or shall cause evidence of appropriate annual renewals of insurance to be provided to Landlord on an automatic basis, with respect to the entire Demised Premises being occupied at the time of said
renewals.

	 	(d)	If and when applicable, and prior to the Expansion Extension Commencement Date, Tenant shall provide evidence of proper insurance with respect to the Must Take Premises in compliance with the provisions of Article 16.


  

	16.	Fiber Optic Cable Access: Landlord agrees that Tenant may install one (1) 2-inch conduit sleeve in the Building floor slabs running from the 35th to the 38th floor within the Data Closet. The
sleeve shall be used exclusively by Tenant solely for the purpose of installing fiber optic cable to connect the Existing Demised Premises on the 35th floor to the Expansion Premises. The sleeve shall be installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole
cost and expense and shall be performed and subject to all applicable terms and conditions of the Lease, including, without limitation, Article 13 with respect to Tenant Changes. Tenant may utilize this sleeve for only as long as the Tenant’s
Existing Demised Premises on the entire 35th floor and either the 38C Premises or 38D Premises are validly and continuously leased to Tenant, and Tenant shall remove any fiber optic cables and fire-stop the
sleeve at each floor of the Building when the right to use the sleeve expires. 

  

	17.	Brokerage: 

  

	 	(a)	Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that it has dealt with, and only with, CBRE, on behalf of Landlord, and Studley, Inc., on behalf of Tenant (collectively, the “Brokers”) in
connection with this First Amendment, and that no other broker negotiated this First Amendment or is entitled to any fee or brokerage commission in connection herewith. 


 

	 	(b)	Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend and save the other harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage, liability and expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
incurred in connection with claims for fees or brokerage commissions from anyone other than the Brokers with whom such party has dealt in connection with the Demised Premises and this First Amendment. 


 

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding that Tenant’s Lease did not contain any rights of expansion, Landlord has agreed to and shall remit any applicable brokerage commissions that may be due the Brokers with respect to this First
Amendment pursuant to separate written agreements between Landlord and the Brokers. 

  

	 	(d)	The respective covenants, representations and agreements of Landlord and Tenant set forth herein shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. 


 

	18.	Notices: 

  

	 	(a)	Article 24 of the Lease is herein amended by deleting Section 24.01 in its entirety and substituting the following in its place and stead:

 “Any notice, statement, demand, consent, approval or other communication required or
permitted to be given, rendered or made by either party pursuant to this Lease or pursuant to any Legal Requirement (collectively “Notices”) shall be in writing (whether or not so stated elsewhere in this Lease) and shall be deemed to have
been properly given, rendered or made only if sent by (i) Federal Express or other reputable overnight mail courier which obtains a receipt upon delivery or (ii) hand delivery with receipt acknowledged, as follows:

(“Guarantor”), being the Guarantor of the Lease, to deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate with respect to the Guaranty in the form of [ILLEGIBLE] attached hereto (the “Guarantor Estoppel”). Tenant
expressly acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s agreement to cause Guarantor to deliver the Guarantor Estoppel was a material inducement for Landlord to enter into this Amendment, and the failure of the Guarantor to deliver the same within such
ten (10) business day period shall constitute a default under the Lease and the Guaranty if Guarantor shall not comply with the foregoing obligation within five (5) business days’ notice from Landlord to Tenant of such failure.


  

	21.	Survival: The respective covenants, representations and agreement of Landlord and Tenant set forth herein shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, as amended hereby.
