 WHEREAS, Section 13.01(a) of the Lease requires
that, at a minimum, Tenant shall invest Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) into the Project, pertaining to the Required Work; and 
 WHEREAS, Tenant has proposed that it will invest an aggregate of Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000) into the Project, pertaining to the Required Work (the “Increased Project Investment”);
and 
 WHEREAS, in consideration of Tenant’s proposed Increased Project Investment, Landlord agrees that it will promptly
take measures to pass through to Tenant the sales and use tax exemptions available to Landlord under New York Tax Law Section 1115(a)(15) with respect to materials incorporated into the Building in connection with the Required Work; and

 WHEREAS, the Landlord and Tenant are prepared to embody their commitments with respect to the Increased Project Investment
and the granting of certain tax exemptions for Tenant into this Amendment to the Lease. 
 NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby mutually
covenanted and agreed by and between the Landlord and Tenant that the Lease is amended as follows: 
  

	 	1.	Section 13.01(a) of the Lease is hereby amended to substitute Eighteen Million Dollars ($18,000,000) in place of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000).

	 	(a)	“In consideration of Tenant’s agreement to the Increased Project Investment (i) Landlord agrees to pass through to Tenant the exemption from payment of
sales and compensating use taxes which Tenant or its contractors working on Tenant’s behalf or their subcontractors would ordinarily have to pay in connection with the Required Work, and (ii)Tenant agrees that, except for the Required Work,
neither Tenant nor any Subtenant (nor their contractors, subcontractors or materialmen) may claim any sales tax exemption solely by virtue of the City’s ownership of the Premises with respect to any other construction work either performed by
Tenant or by Subtenants, which disqualification from sales tax benefits shall include Optional Work; and 

  

	 	(b)	Landlord shall, simultaneously with the execution of this Amendment, provide Tenant with a letter from a Deputy Mayor of Landlord or from the Office of Corporation
Counsel (the “Certificate of Exemption”) evidencing exemption from the imposition of any sales and compensating use taxes, pursuant to New York Tax Law Section 1115(a)(15), which exemption benefit is hereby being passed-though to
Tenant under this Amendment to the Lease. 

  

	 	3.	This Amendment to the Lease constitutes the entire Amendment, and all other representations that may have been made by the Landlord and Tenant in connection with the
subject matter hereof are hereby merged herein. This Amendment may not be changed, modified, altered, waived or terminated except by a written instrument of change, modification, alteration, waiver or termination executed by Landlord and Tenant.
Except as modified hereby all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
