EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

     EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) dated August 24, 2007 by and between Omrix
Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and V. Marc Droppert (the
“Executive”).

     In consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto agree as follows:

1. Term of Employment; Executive Representation.

a. Employment Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement, Executive
shall be employed by the Company for a period commencing on November 1, 2007 (the “Effective Date”)
and ending on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (including any extensions thereof as
detailed below, the “Employment Term”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Agreement. Unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, on the third anniversary
of the Effective Date, the Employment Term will be automatically extended for successive one year
terms, unless the Company or the Executive gives the other party 90 days’ prior written notice of
an intention not to renew the agreement.

b. Executive Representation. Executive hereby represents to the Company that the

execution and delivery of this Agreement by Executive and the Company and the performance by
Executive of the Executive’s duties hereunder shall not constitute a breach of, or otherwise
contravene, the terms of any employment agreement or other agreement or policy to which Executive
is a party or otherwise bound.

2. Position; Place of Performance.

a. During the Employment Term, Executive shall serve as Executive Vice President,

corporate affairs officer of the Company. In such position, Executive shall have such duties and
authority commensurate with such position as shall be reasonably assigned to him by the Chief
Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Company’s Board of Directors and shall be given such executive
and administrative powers and authority as may be needed to carry out those duties. The Executive
shall report to the CEO.

b. During the Employment Term, Executive shall devote Executive’s full business time and best
efforts to the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder and will not engage in any other
business, profession or occupation (including in an advisory capacity, consulting capacity, or
otherwise) for compensation or otherwise which would conflict with the rendition of such services
either directly or indirectly, without the prior consent of the CEO; provided that Executive shall
be permitted to participate in such charitable and community-related activities as Executive may
choose; provided further that such services do not interfere or conflict with his duties hereunder.

 

 

c. During the Employment Term, Executive shall be located in the Company’s offices in New York, New
York, except for required travel on the Company’s business.

3. Compensation.

a. During the Employment Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary (the “Base Salary”) at
the annual rate of $315,000 (less applicable withholding taxes), payable in regular installments in
accordance with the Company’s usual payment practices but no less than monthly. Executive shall be
entitled to such increases in Executive’s Base Salary, if any, as may be determined from time to
time in the sole discretion of the CEO and the Board.

b. With respect to each year during the Employment Term, provided the Executive is employed and in
good standing at the time bonuses are earned, Executive shall be eligible to receive an annual
bonus award (an “Annual Bonus”) calculated based on Company and individual performance measures
established by the Board each year. During the Employment Term, the Executive’s target annual bonus
award shall be 40% of his Base Salary and the Executive may receive between 0% and his target
percentage (pro-rated to reflect the partial year of employment), based on the level of achievement
of such performance measures as determined in the sole discretion of the CEO, as approved by the
Compensation Committee.

c. Executive shall be entitled to receive a one-time relocation bonus in an aggregate amount of
$50,000 to include shipment of household goods and designed to cover any and all miscellaneous
relocation-related expenses incurred by the Executive.

d. During the Term of the Executive’s employment hereunder, the Executive shall be eligible to
participate in the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan or its successor plan (the “Equity
Incentive Plan”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan. Except
as set forth in paragraph 3(e) below, the decision to grant any award to the Executive pursuant to
the Equity Incentive Plan, and the amount of any such award, shall be within the sole discretion of
the Company’s Board of Directors.

e. The Company shall cause the Executive to be granted stock options to purchase 60,000 shares of
Company common stock pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan (the “Stock Options”) on the Effective
Date. The exercise price of the Stock Options shall be the mean between the highest and lowest
reported sales price per share of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on the
date of grant, and the Stock Options shall vest over four years, with 15,000 Stock Options vesting
each year, starting with first anniversary date of the grant and based on continued employment
(subject to acceleration upon a Change in Control, as set forth in paragraph 6(c)(iii) herein
below). The complete terms and condition of the Stock Options shall be set forth in a separate
stock option agreement between the Executive and the Company.

4. Business Expenses. During the Employment Term, reasonable, documented business travel
expenses and other business expenses incurred by Executive in the

 

 

performance of Executive’s duties hereunder shall be reimbursed by the Company in accordance with
Company policies. The Company will put at the disposal of the Executive laptop, Blackberry and
other necessary equipment for the performance of his duties.

5. Benefits; Vacation. The Company does not currently maintain any employee benefits plans,
other than a health insurance and 401(k) plan, in which the Executive shall have the right to
participate. The Company will provide the Executive with family health coverage at Company expense
( or until it is able to do so, will reimburse Executive for the reasonable cost of family medical
coverage otherwise obtained by Executive). During the first year of the Employment Term, the
Executive shall be entitled to fifteen (15) paid vacation days per calendar year, which amount
shall be pro-rated for any partial calendar year during which the Executive is employed by the
Company and twenty (20) paid vacation days for each subsequent calendar year of the Employment
Term. Executive shall accrue such vacation days in accordance with the policies of the Company as
in effect from time to time. Executive shall also be entitled to all U.S. Federal holidays. The
Company shall provide Executive with the right to participate in and to receive benefits from
accident, disability, medical, pension, bonus, stock, profit-sharing and savings plans and similar
benefits made available to all employees of the Company located in the

United States or all other Company executives as such plans and benefits may be adopted by the
Company.

6. Termination. The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated
by either party at any time and for any reason; provided that Executive and the Company will be
required to give the other party hereto at least 30 days advance written notice of any resignation
or termination, as the case may be of Executive’s employment. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6 shall exclusively govern Executive’s rights
upon termination of employment with the Company and its affiliates.

a. By the Company For Cause; By Executive for any Reason (other than Good Reason); Expiration

     (i) The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company for Cause (as defined below) or by the Executive for
any reason (other than Good Reason (as defined below)), subject to the notice
period required by this Section 6.

For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean: (i) the habitual, intentional or willful
failure of by the Executive to render services to the Company in accordance with her reasonably
assigned duties and responsibilities under this Agreement (other than any such failure resulting
from the Executive’s Disability); (ii) willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Executive in
the performance of her duties and reasonably assigned responsibilities for the Company or any of
its subsidiaries or affiliates under this Agreement; (iii) the Executive’s conviction of, or plea

breach of fiduciary duty or material breach of the terms of this Agreement; (v) the commission by
the Executive of embezzlement, theft or any other fraudulent
act or omission; (vi) the commission by the Executive of any act or omission in violation of the
reasonable rules or policies of the Company that results in material loss, damage or injury to the
Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or materially adversely affects the business
activities, reputation, goodwill or image of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates;
(vii) the unauthorized disclosure by the Executive of any “Confidential Information,” as that term
is defined in the Confidentiality Agreement (as defined below) or any other breach of the
Confidentiality Agreement other than as is reasonably believed to comply with lawful legal or
administrative process; (viii) the commission by the Executive of any act that constitutes unfair
competition with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; (ix) the material breach by
the Executive of any agreement to which he and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
are parties that results in material loss, damage or injury to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, or materially adversely affects the business activities, reputation,
goodwill or image of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates; provided, that in the
event of (i) above, the Company shall provide written notice to Executive describing the nature of
such event and Executive shall thereafter have thirty (30) business days to cure such event.

     (ii) If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or if Executive terminates her employment hereunder for any reason other than Good Reason (as defined
below), Executive shall be entitled to receive the following amounts (collectively, the “Accrued
Obligations”):

	 	(a)	 	the Base Salary through the date of termination;
	 
	 	(b)	 	any Annual Bonus earned but unpaid as of the date of termination
	 
	 	(c)	 	for any previously completed full calendar year;
	 
	 	(d)	 	any vacation days earned but unpaid as of the termination date
	 
	 	(e)	 	for previously completed calendar year;
	 
	 	(f)	 	any vacation days earned but not taken; and
	 
	 	(g)	 	reimbursement for any unreimbursed business expenses properly
incurred by Executive in accordance with Company policy prior to the date of
Executive’s termination.

     In addition, if the Employment Term and Executive’s employment under this
Agreement is terminated by reason of the expiration of the Employment Term following
a notice of non-renewal by the Company or Executive, Executive shall be entitled to
receive the Accrued Obligations.

     Following such termination of Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause, by Executive
for any reason other than Good Reason (as defined below), or by reason of the expiration of the Employment Term, except as set forth in this Section 6(a),
Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other benefits under
this Agreement.

 

 

b. Good Reason.

Executive shall have the right to terminate this Agreement for Good Reason. Good Reason shall mean:
(A) the failure to elect or reelect the Executive to the position of Executive Vice President,
Corporate affairs officer or the removal of the Executive from such position (other than due to a
termination of his employment at the end of the Employment Term by a 90 days notice as stipulated
in section 1. a above, a termination for Cause, without Cause, or as a result of Disability, death
or the Executive’s resignation without Good Reason); (B) a change in the reporting structure so
that the Executive reports to a person other than the Chief Executive Officer; (C) the relocation
of the offices of the Company at which Executive is principally located (other than a relocation
within the Borough of Manhattan), or the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based anywhere
other than such offices; (D) any breach by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement if
not remedied after 30 days’ written notice from the Executive; or (E) in connection with a Change
in Control, the occurrence, without the Executive’s written consent, of (i) the assignment to the
Executive of duties inconsistent in any material respect with the Executive’s position (including
status, offices, the title of Executive Vice President of the Company and reporting requirements),
authority or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to the planning, announcement or
effective date of such Change of Control or a material diminution in such position, authority or
responsibilities; (ii) a reduction in the Executive’s aggregate compensation (base salary, target
annual bonus award and/or long-term and short-term cash incentive compensation) or aggregate
benefits as in effect immediately prior to the planning, announcement or effective date of such
Change of Control; (iii) the failure by the Company to (x) continue in effect any material
compensation or benefit plan or program (including without limitation any life insurance, medical,
health, dental and accident or disability plan and any vacation or automobile program or policy) in
which the Executive participates immediately prior to such Change of Control, or continue the
Executive’s participation therein (or in such substitute or alternative plan) on a basis not
materially less favorable than the basis existing immediately prior to the Change of Control; (iv)
the relocation

of the offices of the Company at which Executive is principally located (other than a relocation
within the Borough of Manhattan), or the Company’s requiring the Executive to be based anywhere
other than such offices, except for required travel on the Company’s business to an extent
substantially consistent with the Executive’s business travel obligations prior to the Change of
Control; or (v) the failure of the Company to obtain the agreement from any successor to the
Company to assume and agree to perform this Agreement.

c. Disability or Death.

     The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon Executive’s
death or if Executive becomes physically or mentally incapacitated and is therefore unable for a
period of six (6) months during any twelve (12) month period to perform Executive’s duties,
determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion (such incapacity hereinafter referred to as
“Disability”). Upon termination of Executive’s

 

 

employment hereunder for either Disability or death, Executive or Executive’s estate (as the
case may be) shall be entitled to receive the Accrued Obligations plus any Company death or
disability policy or plan benefits, as may be in effect from time to time, for such circumstances.
Following Executive’s termination of employment due to death or Disability, except as set forth in
this Section 6(c), Executive or Executive’s estate (as the case may be) shall have no further
rights to any compensation or any other benefits under this Agreement.

d. By the Company Without Cause.

     The Employment Term and Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated by the Company
without Cause. If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (other than by
reason of death or Disability) or by Executive for Good Reason, and, in each case, not on or
following a Change in Control (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled to receive:

	 	(i)	 	the Accrued Obligations; and

	 
	 	(ii)	 	continuation of the Executive’s then-current Base Salary for twelve months.

     If Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company (or its successor) without Cause (other
than by reason of death or Disability) or by the Executive for Good Reason, in each case, on or
following a Change in Control (as defined below), Executive shall be entitled to receive:

	 	(i)	 	the Accrued Obligations;

	 
	 	(ii)	 	continuation of the Executive’s then-current base salary for one
year, payable in one lump sum no later than 30 days following such termination
date; and
	 
	 	(iii)	 	all options and restricted stock granted to the Executive shall
become immediately accelerated and fully exercisable.

     Following Executive’s termination of employment by the Company without Cause (other than by
reason of Executive’s death or Disability or by the Executive for Good Reason), except as set forth
in this Section 6(d), Executive shall have no further rights to any compensation or any other
benefits under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to provide
the Executive the payments described in this Section 6(d) shall be contingent upon Executive’s
continued compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 7.

     For purposes of this Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the first to occur of any of
the following: any “person,” as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act (other than (A) the Company, (B) any trustee or other fiduciary holding securities
under an employee benefit plan of the Company, and (C) any corporation owned, directly or
indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their
ownership of Stock), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as

 

 

defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company
representing 51% or more of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting
securities (excluding any person who becomes such a beneficial owner in connection with a
transaction immediately following which the individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior
thereto constitute at least a majority of the Board, the entity surviving such transaction or, if
the Company or the entity surviving the
transaction is then a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof; there is consummated a merger,
reorganization, recapitalization, combination or statutory share exchange or similar transaction
involving or consolidation of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company with
any other corporation (a “Business Combination”), other than a Business Combination immediately
following which the individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior thereto constitute at
least a majority of the Board, the entity
surviving such Business Combination or, if the Company or the entity surviving such merger is then
a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof; or the stockholders of the Company approve a plan of
complete liquidation of the Company or there is consummated an agreement for the sale or
disposition by the Company of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets (or any transaction having a similar effect), other than
a sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to an
entity, immediately following which the individuals who comprise the Board immediately prior
thereto constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the entity to which such assets
are sold or disposed of or, if such entity is a subsidiary, the ultimate parent thereof.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by
virtue of (x) a public offering of securities of the Company by the Company or its security holders
that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission not involving a Business Combination
or (y) the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately
following which the holders of the Stock immediately prior to such transaction or series of
transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership and voting rights in
an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following
such transaction or series of transactions.

e. Notice of Termination. Any purported termination of employment by the Company or by
Executive (other than due to Executive’s death) shall be communicated by written Notice of
Termination to the other party hereto in accordance with Section 10(f) hereof. For purposes of this
Agreement, a “Notice of Termination” shall mean a notice which shall indicate the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon and shall set forth in reasonable detail the
facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination of employment under the
provision so indicated.

7. Confidentiality/Non-Competition.

a. The Executive has executed a separate Confidentiality Agreement (the “Confidentiality

 

 

Agreement”), pursuant to which he agrees to be bound by certain confidentiality, noncompetition,
non-solicitation and other restrictive covenants and which are incorporated herein by reference.

b. The Executive hereby agrees and covenants, in addition to the provisions of the
Confidentiality Agreement, that he shall not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever,
including, without limitation, as an employee, employer, consultant, member, principal, partner,
shareholder, officer, director, agent, holder of financial interest, or any other individual or
representative capacity, in any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company,
association, trust, joint venture, unincorporated association or government entity (“Person”),
whether on the Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any Person or entity or otherwise howsoever
(other than as a holder of not more than one percent (1%) of the combined voting power of the
outstanding stock of a publicly held company), during the Executive’s employment with the Company
and for a period of one (1) year following after the termination or cessation of this Agreement and
of the Executive’s employment with the Company for any reason, directly or indirectly engage in,
own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, consult for, participate in,
or be connected in any manner with the ownership, management, operation or control of any business
in competition with the “business of the Company or its affiliates or their successors. The
“business of the Company or its affiliates or their successors” is defined as the business of
plasma fractionation or manufacturing, selling, researching, distributing, marketing or otherwise
conducting business in any way relating to the development, manufacture, sale or distribution of
plasma derivative products, including, without limitation, biological surgical or fibrin adhesives
or their recombinant or monoclonal antibody analogs, whether the Company is actually engaged in
such business activities or has taken action to begin engaging in such business activities, even if
any related services or products are not completed or ready for marketing or distribution, at the
time that this Agreement and the Executive’s employment with the Company terminates.

c. The Executive acknowledges and recognizes the highly competitive nature of the
business of the Company, and agrees that the covenants set forth herein, including the
Confidentiality Agreement, are reasonable and necessary to protect the Company’s interests. It is
expressly understood and agreed that although Executive and the Company consider such restrictions
to be reasonable, if a final judicial determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction
that the time or territory or any other restriction contained herein and in the Confidentiality
Agreement is an unenforceable restriction against Executive, the provisions of this Agreement and
the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be rendered void but shall be deemed amended to apply as to
such maximum time and territory and to such maximum extent as such court may judicially determine
or indicate to be enforceable. Alternatively, if any court of competent jurisdiction finds that any
restriction contained herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement is unenforceable, and such
restriction cannot be amended so as to make it enforceable, such finding shall not affect the
enforceability of any of the other restrictions contained therein.

 

 

8. Specific Performance. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company’s remedies at
law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of Section 7 would be inadequate
and, in recognition of this fact, Executive agrees that, in the event of such a breach or
threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, the Company, without posting any bond, shall
be entitled to cease making any payments or providing any benefit otherwise required by this
Agreement and obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, temporary restraining
order, temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.

9. Indemnification. The Company will enter into an indemnification agreement with

Executive in the form adopted by the Company’s board of directors as of the date hereof.

10. Miscellaneous. 

a. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles thereof.

b. Entire Agreement/Amendments. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement contain
the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and
shall supersede any other agreements, offer terms or representations, oral or otherwise, express or
implied, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof which have been made by either
party. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings
between the parties with respect to the subject matter herein other than those expressly set forth
herein. This Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement may not be altered, modified, or amended
except by written instrument signed by the parties hereto.

c. No Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this
Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver of such party’s rights or deprive such
party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of
this Agreement.

d. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement
and/or the Confidentiality Agreement shall be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement
and/or the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

e. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs,
distributees, devisees and legatees of the Executive. This Agreement shall not be assignable by
Executive. This Agreement may be assigned by the Company to a company which is a successor in
interest to substantially all of the business operations of the Company or to a parent of the
Company. Such assignment shall become effective when the Company notifies the Executive of such
assignment or at such later

 

 

date as may be specified in such notice. Upon such assignment, the rights and obligations of the
Company hereunder shall become the rights and obligations of such successor company, provided that
any assignee expressly assumes the obligations, rights and privileges of this Agreement and
provided, further, that such assignment shall not affect the Executive’s right to terminate for
Good Reason, including upon a Change of Control.

f. Notice. For the purpose of this Agreement, notices and all other communications

provided for in the Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when
delivered or mailed by United States registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid,
addressed to the respective addresses set forth below Agreement, or to such other address as either
party may have furnished to the other in writing in accordance herewith, except that notice of
change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

PREMISES, TERM, RENT

     Section 2.1 Lease of Premises. Subject to the terms of this Lease, Landlord leases to Tenant
and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises for the Term. In addition, Landlord grants to Tenant
the right to use, on a non-exclusive basis and in common with other tenants, the Common Areas.

     Section 2.2 Commencement Date. Upon the Effective Date, the terms and provisions hereof shall
be fully binding on Landlord and Tenant prior to the occurrence of the Commencement Date. The Term
of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and, unless sooner terminated or extended as
hereinafter provided, shall end on the Expiration Date. Tenant currently occupies the Premises

Tenant, and Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted, possession of the Premises upon the
Commencement Date.

     Section 2.3 Payment of Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without notice or demand, and
without any set-off, counterclaim, abatement or deduction whatsoever, except as may be expressly
set forth in this Lease, in lawful money of the United States by wire transfer of funds, (i) Fixed
Rent in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each month during the Term,

Inclusion Factor), and (ii) Additional Rent, at the times and in the manner set forth in this
Lease.

     Section 2.4 First Month’s Rent. Tenant shall pay one month’s Fixed Rent upon the execution of

If the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, then on the Rent Commencement Date
Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent for the period from the Rent Commencement Date through the last day of
such month, and the Advance Rent shall be credited towards Fixed Rent for the next succeeding
calendar month.

ARTICLE 3

USE AND OCCUPANCY

     Section 3.1 Permitted Uses. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted Uses
and for no other purpose. Tenant shall not use or occupy or permit the use or occupancy of any
part of the Premises in a manner constituting a Prohibited Use. If Tenant uses the Premises for a
purpose constituting a Prohibited Use, violating any Requirement, or causing the Building to be in
violation of any Requirement, then Tenant shall promptly discontinue such use upon notice of such
violation. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure and at all times maintain and comply with the
terms and conditions of all licenses and permits required for the lawful conduct of the Permitted
Uses in the Premises.

     Section 3.2 Use of Building Name. No Tenant Party shall use the words “Rockefeller”,
“Center”, “Radio City” or “Radio City Music Hall” or any combination or simulation thereof, or any
logo or image of Rockefeller Center, or the image of any prominent part of Rockefeller Center, for
any purpose whatsoever, including as or for any corporate, firm or trade name, trademark or
designation or description of merchandise or services, except that the foregoing shall not prevent
the use by Tenant or other permitted occupant of the Premises, in a conventional manner and without
emphasis or display, of the words “Rockefeller Center” and/or, where applicable, “Rockefeller
Plaza” as part of Tenant’s or such permitted occupant’s business address or by reference in the
ordinary course of its business. Neither Tenant nor any occupant of the Premises shall use the
name of the Building or the name of the entity for which the Building is named or designated by

not be deemed to include teleconferencing, private video telephone communications or other similar
means of video transmission which are not intended for public distribution). “Protected Zone

ARTICLE 4

CONDITION OF THE PREMISES

     Section 4.1 Condition. Tenant is currently in possession of the Premises pursuant to the
Existing Sublease, is fully familiar with the Premises and agrees (a) to accept possession of the
Premises in the condition existing on the Commencement Date “as is”, and (b) except for Landlord’s
Contribution, Landlord has no obligation to perform any work, supply any materials, incur any
expense or make any alterations or improvements to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy.
Any work to be performed by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s continual occupancy of the Premises
shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Initial Installations”. Tenant’s continual occupancy of
any part of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Tenant has accepted
possession of the Premises in its then current condition and at the time such possession was taken,
the Premises and the Building were in a good and satisfactory condition as required by this Lease.

     Section 4.2 (a) Landlord’s Contribution. (a) Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount not to
exceed Landlord’s Contribution toward the cost of the Initial Installations (excluding any “soft
costs“ and Tenant’s Property), provided that as of the date on which Landlord is required to make
payment thereof pursuant to Section 4.2(b): (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, and (ii) no
Event of Default then exists. Tenant shall pay all costs of the Initial Installations in excess of
Landlord’s Contribution. Landlord’s Contribution shall be payable solely on account of labor
directly related to the Initial Installations and materials delivered to the Premises in connection
with the Initial Installations (excluding any “soft costs“ and Tenant’s Property). Tenant shall
not be entitled to receive any portion of Landlord’s Contribution not actually expended by Tenant
in the performance of the Initial Installations, nor shall Tenant have any right to apply any
unexpended portion of Landlord’s Contribution as a credit against Rent or any other obligation of
Tenant hereunder. Upon the completion of the Initial Installations and satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in this Section 4.2, or upon the occurrence of the date which is 12 months
after the Commencement Date, whichever first occurs, any amount of Landlord’s Contribution which
has not been previously disbursed shall be retained by Landlord.

          (b) Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Contribution to Tenant following commencement of Tenant’s
business operations at the Premises and the final completion of the Initial Installations, within
30 days after submission by Tenant to Landlord of a requisition therefor, signed by an authorized
officer of Tenant and accompanied by (i) copies of paid invoices covering all of the Initial
Installations, (ii) a certification from Tenant’s architect stating that (A) the Initial
Installations described on such invoices have been completed in accordance with the plans and
specifications approved by Landlord, (B) such work has been paid in full by Tenant and (C) all
contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers have delivered to Tenant waivers of lien with
respect to such work (copies of which shall be included with such architect’s certification), (iii)
proof of the satisfactory completion of all required inspections and the issuance of any required
approvals and sign-offs by Governmental Authorities with respect thereto, (iv) final “as-built”
plans and specifications for the Initial Installations as required pursuant to Section 5.1(c), (v)
final lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers covering all of the
Initial Installations, and (vi) such other documents and information as Landlord may reasonably
request. The right to receive Landlord’s Contribution is for the exclusive benefit of Tenant, and
in no event shall such right be assigned to or be enforceable by or for the benefit of any third
party, including any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, laborer, architect, engineer, attorney
or other person or entity.

ARTICLE 5

ALTERATIONS

     Section 5.1 Tenant’s Alterations. (a) Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or
other physical changes in or about the Premises (collectively, “Alterations”) other than decorative
Alterations such as painting, wall coverings and floor coverings (collectively, “Decorative
Alterations”), without Landlord’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or conditioned if such Alterations (i) are non-structural and do not affect any Building Systems,
(ii) affect only the Premises and are not visible from outside of the Premises, (iii) do not
affect the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building or the Premises, and (iv) do not
violate any Requirement.

          (b) Plans and Specifications. Prior to making any Alterations, Tenant, at its expense, shall
(i) submit to Landlord for its approval, detailed plans and specifications (“Plans”) of each
proposed Alteration (other than Decorative Alterations), and with respect to any Alteration
affecting any Building System, evidence that the Alteration has been designed by, or reviewed and
approved by, Landlord’s designated engineer for the affected Building System, (ii) obtain all
permits, approvals and certificates required by any Governmental Authorities, (iii) furnish to
Landlord duplicate original policies or certificates of worker’s compensation (covering all persons
to be employed by Tenant, and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors in connection with such
Alteration) and commercial general liability (including property damage coverage) insurance and
Builder’s Risk coverage (as described in Article 11), issued on a completed value basis, all in
such form, with such companies, for such periods and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably
require, naming Landlord, Landlord’s Agent, any Lessor and any Mortgagee as additional insureds,
and (iv) furnish to Landlord reasonably satisfactory evidence of Tenant’s ability to complete and
to fully pay for such Alterations (other than Decorative Alterations). Tenant shall give Landlord
not less than 5 Business Days’ notice prior to performing any Decorative Alteration, which notice
shall contain a description of such Decorative Alteration.

               Landlord shall respond to any request for approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications for
Alterations within 15 Business Days after such request is made. In addition, Landlord agrees to
respond to any resubmission of such plans and specifications within 15 Business Days after
resubmission to Landlord. If Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s request within 15 Business
Days, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second request for approval (a “Second
Request”), which shall specifically identify the plans and specifications to which such request
relates, and set forth in bold capital letters the following statement: LANDLORD MUST COMPLETE ITS
REVIEW AND APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE THESE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER
RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE. FAILURE BY LANDLORD TO DO SO WILL BE DEEMED TO BE LANDLORD’S APPROVAL OF
SUCH PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS. If Landlord fails to respond to a Second Request within 5 Business
Days after receipt by Landlord as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy the plans and specifications
previously submitted to Landlord and identified in the Second Request shall be deemed to be
approved by Landlord. As used herein, the term “respond” shall mean approve or disapprove and, in
the case of any disapproval, the reasons therefor.

          (c) Governmental Approvals. Tenant, at its expense, shall, as and when required, retain the
services of a code consultant approved by Landlord and promptly obtain

6

 

certificates of partial and final approval of such Alterations required by any Governmental
Authority and shall, within 30 days after completion of any Alterations, furnish Landlord with
copies thereof, together with “as-built” Plans for such Alterations prepared on an AutoCAD Computer
Assisted Drafting and Design System (or such other system or medium as Landlord may accept), using
naming conventions issued by the American Institute of Architects in June, 1990 (or such other
naming conventions as Landlord may accept) and magnetic computer media of such record drawings and
specifications translated in DXF format or another format acceptable to Landlord.

          (d) Landmarks Preservation. Tenant is hereby notified that the Premises are subject to the
jurisdiction of the Landmarks Preservation Commission (“LPC”). In accordance with Sections 25-305,
25-306, 25-309 and 25-310 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York and the rules set
forth in Title 63 of the Rules of the City of New York, any demolition, construction,
reconstruction, alteration or minor work as described in such Sections and such rules may not be
commenced within or at the Premises without the prior written approval of the LPC. Tenant is
notified that such demolition, construction, reconstruction, alterations or minor work includes,
but is not limited to, (a) work to the exterior of the Premises involving windows, signs, awnings,
flagpoles, banners and storefront alterations and (b) interior work to the Premises that (i)
requires a permit from the Department of Buildings or (ii) changes, destroys or affects an interior
architectural feature of an interior landmark or an exterior architectural feature of an
improvement that is a landmark or located on a landmark site or in a historic district.

          (e) Landmarks Applications. Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.1, Tenant shall
submit to Landlord for its prior approval all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness or
other similar requests (including applications for modifications of Certificates of Appropriateness
or other similar requests previously granted) from the LPC. Tenant shall keep Landlord apprised of
all LPC proceedings and shall deliver copies of all notices, approvals and rejections received by
Tenant from the LPC. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall use Landlord’s designated LPC consultant
to prosecute all filings with the LPC for a Certificate of Appropriateness or other similar
requests.

     Section 5.2 Manner and Quality of Alterations. All Alterations shall be performed (a) in a
good and workmanlike manner and free from defects, (b) substantially in accordance with the Plans,
and by contractors selected from Landlord’s list of approved contractors or otherwise approved by
Landlord, and (c) in compliance with all Requirements, the terms of this Lease and all construction
procedures and regulations then prescribed by Landlord. All materials and equipment shall be of
first quality and at least equal to the applicable standards for the Building then established by
Landlord, and no such materials or equipment (other than Tenant’s Property) shall be subject to any
lien or other encumbrance. At Tenant’s request and if and to the extent Landlord maintains such a
list, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with a list of contractors (containing at least 3 contractors
for each trade other than in respect of any Building System) approved by Landlord, who may perform
on behalf of Tenant the types of Alterations described on such request. If Tenant engages any
contractor set forth on such list, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent to
such contractor, provided Tenant shall be required to obtain Landlord’s confirmation that such
contractor remains on such list. If Landlord shall not then maintain a list of approved
contractors for the Building or if Tenant desires to use a contractor who is not named on such
list, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval of any reputable contractor proposed by
Tenant (except for those contractors performing work on Building Systems), provided such contractor
shall provide Landlord with appropriate positive references and proof of financial responsibility
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Landlord

7

 

shall, within 10 Business Days after receiving any request from Tenant for such approval,
together with such references and proof, respond to such request and if Landlord fails to respond
to such request within such 10-Business Day period, such request for approval shall be deemed
approved by Landlord.

     Section 5.3 Removal of Tenant’s Property. Tenant’s Property shall remain the property of
Tenant and Tenant may remove the same at any time on or before the Expiration Date. On or prior to
the Expiration Date, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove all of Tenant’s Property and, unless
otherwise directed by Landlord, any Specialty Alterations from the Premises and close up any slab
penetrations in the Premises. Tenant shall repair and restore, in a good and workmanlike manner,
any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by Tenant’s removal of any Alterations or
Tenant’s Property or by the closing of any slab penetrations, and upon default thereof, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s cost of repairing and restoring such damage. Any Specialty
Alterations or Tenant’s Property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and Landlord may either
retain same or remove and dispose of same, and repair and restore any damage caused thereby, at
Tenant’s cost and without accountability to Tenant. All other Alterations shall become Landlord’s
property upon termination of this Lease. Landlord shall advise Tenant at the time of Landlord’s
approval of the plans and specifications therefor, as to whether Tenant will be required to remove
a Specialty Alteration, provided Tenant requests in writing (using bold letters) that Landlord
advise Tenant of such removal obligation with submittal of the applicable plans and specifications,
and if Landlord shall fail to so advise, Landlord shall be deemed to have waived Tenant’s
obligation to remove such Specialty Alteration.

     Section 5.4 Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant, at its expense, shall discharge any lien or charge
recorded or filed against the Real Property in connection with any work done or claimed to have
been done by or on behalf of, or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant,
within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof by payment, filing the bond required by law
or otherwise in accordance with law.

     Section 5.5 Labor Relations. Tenant shall not employ, or permit the employment of, any
contractor, mechanic or laborer, or permit any materials to be delivered to or used in the
Building, if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, such employment, delivery or use will interfere or cause
any conflict with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance
or operation of the Building or the Center by Landlord, Tenant or others. If such interference or
conflict occurs, upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers
causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building immediately.

     Section 5.6 Tenant’s Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within 10 days after demand, all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s
Alterations, including costs incurred in connection with (a) Landlord’s review of the Alterations
(including review of requests for approval thereof) and (b) the provision of Building personnel
during the performance of any Alteration, to operate elevators or otherwise to facilitate Tenant’s
Alterations. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its designee, upon demand, an
administrative fee with respect to the performance of the Alterations (other than the Initial
Installations) and the scheduling of Building equipment, facilities and personnel in connection
therewith, which fee shall be payable as follows: 5% of the cost of Tenant’s Alterations up to
$100,000; 4% of the cost of Tenant’s Alterations between $100,000 and $250,000; 3% of the cost of
Tenant’s Alterations between $250,000 and $500,000; and 2% of the cost of Tenant’s Alterations in
excess of $500,000. Tenant shall, upon request, provide

8

 

Landlord with reasonable evidence of all amounts expended by it for Alterations (including
“soft costs”).

     Section 5.7 Tenant’s Equipment. Tenant shall provide notice to Landlord prior to moving any
heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures (collectively, “Equipment”)
into or out of the Building and shall pay to Landlord any reasonable costs actually incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith. If such Equipment requires special handling, Tenant agrees (a)
to employ only persons holding all necessary licenses to perform such work, (b) all work performed
in connection therewith shall comply with all applicable Requirements and (c) such work shall be
done only during hours reasonably designated by Landlord.

     Section 5.8 Legal Compliance. The approval of Plans, or consent by Landlord to the making of
any Alterations, does not constitute Landlord’s representation that such Plans or Alterations
comply with any Requirements. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other party in
connection with Landlord’s approval of any Plans, or Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s performing any
Alterations. If any Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant, require Landlord to make any
alterations or improvements to any part of the Building in order to comply with any Requirements,
Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such
alterations or improvements.

     Section 5.9 Floor Load. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises that
exceeds 50 pounds per square foot “live load”. Landlord reserves the right to reasonably designate
the position of all Equipment which Tenant wishes to place within the Premises, and to place
limitations on the weight thereof.

ARTICLE 6

REPAIRS

     Section 6.1 Landlord’s Repair and Maintenance. Landlord shall operate, maintain and, except
as provided in Section 6.2 hereof, make all necessary repairs (both structural and nonstructural)
to (i) the Building, (ii) the Building Systems, and (iii) the Common Areas, in conformance with
standards applicable to Comparable Buildings.

     Section 6.2 Tenant’s Repair and Maintenance. Tenant shall promptly, at its expense and in
compliance with Article 5, make all nonstructural repairs to the Premises and the fixtures,

air conditioning, sprinklers and life safety systems in and serving the Premises from the point of
connection to the Building Systems) (collectively, “Tenant Fixtures”) as and when needed to
preserve the Premises in good working order and condition, except for reasonable wear and tear and
damage for which Tenant is not responsible, and replace scratched or damaged doors, signs and glass
(other than exterior window glass). All damage to the Building or to any portion thereof, or to
any Tenant Fixtures requiring structural or nonstructural repair caused by or resulting from any
act, omission, neglect or improper conduct of a Tenant Party or the moving of Tenant’s Property or
Equipment into, within or out of the Premises by a Tenant Party, shall be repaired at Tenant’s
expense by (i) Tenant, if the required repairs are nonstructural in nature and do not affect any
Building System, or (ii) Landlord, if the required repairs are structural in nature, involve
replacement of exterior window glass or affect any Building System. All Tenant repairs shall be of
good quality utilizing new construction materials.

9

 

     Section 6.3 Restorative Work. Landlord reserves the right to make all changes, alterations,
additions, improvements, repairs or replacements to the Building, Building Systems and the Center,
including changing the arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways,
corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other Common Areas (collectively, “Restorative Work”), as
Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and to take all materials into the Premises required for the
performance of such Restorative Work provided that (a) the level of any Building service shall not
decrease in any material respect from the level required of Landlord in this Lease as a result
thereof (other than temporary changes in the level of such services during the performance of any
such Restorative Work) and (b) Tenant is not deprived of access to the Premises. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises
during the performance of such Restorative Work. There shall be no Rent abatement or allowance to
Tenant for a diminution of rental value, no actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, in whole or
in part, no relief from any of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, and no liability on the
part of Landlord by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Landlord,
Tenant or others performing, or failing to perform, any Restorative Work.

(xxiv) management fees, or if no management fee is being charged, an imputed management fee not in
excess of the amount that would be paid to a property manager for managing a comparable first class
office building in midtown Manhattan; and (xxv) the annual depreciation or amortization, on a
straight-line basis over such period as Landlord shall reasonably determine (with interest on the
unamortized portion at the Base Rate plus 2 percent per annum), of any capital costs incurred after

11

 

Expense Year for any equipment, device or other improvement made or acquired which is either
(A) intended as a labor-saving measure or to effect other economies in the operation, maintenance
or repair of the Center (but only to the extent that the annual benefits anticipated to be realized
therefrom are reasonably related to the annual amounts to be amortized), or (B) required by any
Requirement. Operating Expenses shall not include Excluded Expenses.

          (h) “Statement” means an instrument or instruments containing a comparison of one or both of
(i) the Base Tax Factor and the Tax Factor for any Comparison Year, and (ii) the Base Expense
Factor and the Expense Factor for any Comparison Year.

          (i) “Taxes” means the taxes and assessments imposed upon the Center, including assessments
made as a result of the Center or any part thereof being within a business improvement district,
other than any interest or penalties imposed in connection therewith, and all expenses, including
fees and disbursements of counsel and experts, reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with
any application for a reduction in the assessed valuation for the Center or for a judicial review
thereof (but in no event shall such expenses be included in Taxes payable for the Base Tax Year).
If due to a future change in the method of taxation any franchise, income, profit or other tax
shall be levied in substitution in whole or in part for or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise
constitute a Tax, such franchise, income, profit or other tax shall be deemed to be a Tax for the
purposes of this Lease.

          (j) “Tax Factor” means the quotient, expressed in dollars and cents, of (i) the Taxes payable
for any Tax Year during the Term, divided by (ii) the Center Tax Area for such Tax Year.

          (k) “Tax Year” means the 12 month period commencing July 1 of each year, or such other 12
month period as may be duly adopted as the fiscal year for real estate tax purposes by the City of
New York.

     Section 7.2 Tenant’s Tax Payment. (a) If the Tax Factor for any Tax Year exceeds the Base
Tax Factor, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount (“Tenant’s Tax Payment”)
equal to (i) Tenant’s Area, multiplied by (ii) the amount by which the Tax Factor for such Tax Year
exceeds the Base Tax Factor. For each Comparison Year in which any Tax Year commences, Landlord
shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Tax
Payment for such Tax Year (the “Tax Estimate”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of
each month during such Comparison Year an amount equal to 1/12th of the Tax Estimate for such Tax
Year. If Landlord shall not furnish a Tax Estimate for a Comparison Year or if Landlord shall
furnish a Tax Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (x) until
the first day of the month following the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum
payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.2(a) for the last month of the preceding
Comparison Year; (y) promptly after the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant or together therewith,
Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of the Tax Estimate
previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or less than the installments of the Tax
Estimate to be made in accordance with the Tax Estimate, and (1) if there shall be a deficiency,
Tenant shall pay the amount thereof to Landlord within 15 Business Days after demand, or (2) if
there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against subsequent
installments of Rent next coming due hereunder; and (z) on the first day of the month following
the month in which the Tax Estimate is furnished to Tenant and on the first day of each month
thereafter throughout the remainder of such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount

12

 

equal to 1/12th of the Tax Estimate. Landlord may, during each Comparison Year, furnish to
Tenant a revised Tax Estimate for such Comparison Year, and in such case, Tenant’s Tax Payment for
such Comparison Year shall be adjusted and any deficiencies paid or overpayments credited, as the
case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. After the end
of each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement of Taxes applicable to
Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year, and (A) if such Statement shall show that the sums
so paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord the amount of such deficiency within 10 Business Days after the delivery of such Statement
to Tenant, or (B) if such Statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were more than such
Tenant’s Tax Payment, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against subsequent payments of Rent
next coming due. If there shall be any increase in the Taxes for any Tax Year, whether during or
after such Tax Year, or if there shall be any decrease in the Taxes for any Tax Year, Tenant’s Tax
Payment for such Comparison Year shall be appropriately adjusted and any deficiencies paid or
overpayments credited, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the
preceding sentence.

          (b) If the Base Tax Factor is reduced, the Additional Rent previously paid or payable on
account of Tenant’s Tax Payment hereunder for all Comparison Years shall be recomputed on the basis
of such reduction, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within 15 Business Days after demand therefor,
any deficiency between the amount of such Additional Rent previously computed and paid by Tenant to
Landlord, and the amount due as a result of such recomputation. If the Base Tax Factor is
increased, then Landlord shall either pay to Tenant, or at Landlord’s election, credit against
subsequent payments of Rent due, the amount by which such Additional Rent previously paid on
account of Tenant’s Tax Payment exceeds the amount actually due as a result of such recomputation.
If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes for any Comparison Year, Landlord shall, at its election,
either pay to Tenant, or credit against subsequent payments of Rent due hereunder, an amount equal
to Tenant’s allocable share of the refund (as reasonably determined by Landlord), net of any
expenses incurred by Landlord in achieving such refund, to the extent not previously included in
Taxes, which amount shall not exceed Tenant’s Tax Payment paid for such Comparison Year.

          (c) Tenant shall be obligated to pay Tenant’s Tax Payment regardless of whether Tenant may be
exempt from the payment of taxes as the result of any reduction, abatement, or exemption from Taxes
granted or agreed to by any Governmental Authority, or by reason of Tenant’s diplomatic status or
other tax exempt status. Landlord shall not be obligated to file any application or institute any
proceeding seeking a reduction in Taxes or tax assessment. The benefit of any exemption or
abatement relating to all or any part of the Center shall accrue solely to the benefit of Landlord.

          (d) Tenant shall not (and hereby waives any and all rights it may now or hereafter have to)
institute or maintain any action, proceeding or application in any court or other body having the
power to fix or review assessed valuations, for the purpose of reducing Taxes, and the filing of
any such proceeding by Tenant shall constitute an Event of Default.

          (e) Tenant shall pay any occupancy or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted and
applicable to Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, regardless of whether imposed by its terms upon
Landlord or Tenant, and if any such tax is payable by Landlord, Tenant shall promptly reimburse the
amount thereof to Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent.

13

 

     Section 7.3 Tenant’s Operating Payment. (a) If the Expense Factor payable for any Comparison
Year exceeds the Base Expense Factor, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount
(“Tenant’s Operating Payment”) equal to (i) Tenant’s Area, multiplied by (ii) the amount by which
the Expense Factor for such Comparison Year exceeds the Base Expense Factor. For each Comparison
Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of
Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year (the “Expense Estimate”). Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, on the first day of each month during such Comparison Year, an amount equal to 1/12th of
the Expense Estimate. If Landlord furnishes an Expense Estimate for a Comparison Year subsequent
to the commencement thereof, then (A) until the 1st day of the month following the month in which
the Expense Estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the 1st day of each
month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 7.3
during the last month of the preceding Comparison Year, (B) promptly after the Expense Estimate is
furnished to Tenant or together therewith, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the
installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment previously made for such Comparison Year were greater or
less than the installments of Tenant’s Operating Payment to be made for such Comparison Year in
accordance with the Expense Estimate, and (1) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the
amount thereof within 15 Business Days after demand therefor or (2) if there shall have been an
overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against subsequent installments of Rent due
hereunder, and (C) on the 1st day of the month following the month in which Expense Estimate is
furnished to Tenant, and on the 1st day of each month thereafter throughout the remainder of such
Comparison Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of the Expense Estimate.

          (b) On or before May 1 of each Comparison Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Statement
of Operating Expenses for the immediately preceding Comparison Year. If the Statement shows that
the sums paid by Tenant under Section 7.3(a) exceeded the actual amount of Tenant’s Operating
Payment for such Comparison Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against
subsequent installments of Rent due hereunder. If the Statement for such Comparison Year shows
that the sums paid by Tenant were less than Tenant’s Operating Payment for such Comparison Year,
Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within 15 Business Days after delivery of the
Statement to Tenant.

     Section 7.4 Certain Adjustments. (a) If the Center Operating Area is increased or decreased,
from time to time, pursuant to Section 7.1(c), then from and after the date of such election,
Operating Expenses for purposes of this Lease shall be limited to that portion of the Operating
Expenses of the Center which is properly allocable, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to the space
included in the Center Operating Area. Such allocation shall be performed by Landlord in good
faith in a manner consistent with the methods and principles employed by Landlord in computing
Operating Expenses prior to the date of such election.

          (b) Taxes shall not include any taxes and assessments imposed upon any portion of the Center
excluded from the calculation of the Center Tax Area pursuant to Section 7.1(d) above. If Landlord
has elected to limit the Center Tax Area to the number of square feet in the rentable area of the
Building pursuant to Section 7.1(d),Taxes for purposes of this Lease shall be limited to: (i) if
the Building is separately assessed for tax purposes, the Taxes imposed thereon, or (ii) if the
Building is not so separately assessed, either (x) a portion of the Taxes imposed upon the Center,
determined in the same proportion that the rentable area of the Building bears to the aggregate
rentable area in all buildings in the Center, or (y) a portion of the Taxes imposed upon the tax
lot on which the Building is located, determined in the same

14

 

proportion that the rentable area of the Building bears to the aggregate rentable area in all
buildings located on such tax lot.

          (c) If the Commencement Date shall be a day other than January 1 or the Expiration Date shall
be a day other than December 31, or if there is any abatement of Fixed Rent payable under this
Lease (other than any abatement under Article 1 hereof) or any termination of this Lease (other
than a termination pursuant to Article 15), or if there is any increase or decrease in Tenant’s
Area, then in each such event in applying the provisions of this Article with respect to the Tax
Year or Comparison Year in which the event occurred, appropriate adjustments shall be made to
reflect the result of such event on a basis consistent with the principles underlying the
provisions of this Article, taking into consideration (i) the portion of such Tax Year or
Comparison Year, as the case may be, which shall have elapsed prior to or after such event, (ii)
the rentable area of the Premises affected thereby, and (iii) the duration of such event.

          (d) If during all or any part of any Comparison Year (including the Base Expense Year)
Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by
Landlord, would constitute an Operating Expense) to a rentable portion of the Center which is not
then leased, Operating Expenses for such period shall include an amount equal to the costs and
expenses which would reasonably have been incurred for such work or service during such period by
Landlord if the Center had been 100% leased and occupied.

          (e) If during all or any part of any Comparison Year (including the Base Expense Year)
Landlord does not furnish any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by
Landlord, would constitute an Operating Expense) to any portion of the Center (other than to space
not then leased), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.1(g), the
amount included in Operating Expenses for such period with respect to such work or service shall be
equal to the product of (i) the Center Operating Area multiplied by (ii) the quotient expressed in
dollars and cents, of (A) the costs and expenses Landlord would have reasonably incurred during
such period to furnish such work or service had Landlord provided such work or service, divided by
(B) the area of the Center to which Landlord provides such work or service.

     Section 7.5 Non-Waiver; Disputes. (a) Landlord’s failure to render any Statement on a timely
basis with respect to any Comparison Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render
a Statement with respect to such Comparison Year or any subsequent Comparison Year, nor shall the
rendering of a Statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected Statement for
that Comparison Year.

          (b) Each Statement sent to Tenant shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless Tenant (i)
pays to Landlord when due the amount set forth in such Statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s
right to dispute such Statement, and (ii) within 180 days after such Statement is sent, sends a
notice to Landlord objecting to such Statement and specifying the reasons therefor. Tenant agrees
that Tenant will not employ, in connection with any dispute under this Lease, any person or entity
who is to be compensated in whole or in part, on a contingency fee basis. If the parties are
unable to resolve any dispute as to the correctness of such Statement within 30 days following such
notice of objection, either party may refer the issues raised to a nationally recognized
independent public accounting firm selected by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, and
the decision of such accountants shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant. In
connection therewith, Tenant and such accountants shall execute and deliver to Landlord a
confidentiality agreement, in form and

15

 

substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties agree not to disclose to
any third party any of the information obtained in connection with such review, or the substance of
any admissions or stipulations by any party in connection therewith, or of any resulting
reconciliation, compromise or settlement. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses relating to such
procedure, unless such accountants determine that Landlord overstated the Expense Factor by more
than 5% for such Comparison Year, as finally determined, in which case Landlord shall pay such fees
and expenses. Except as provided in this Section, Tenant shall have no right whatsoever to dispute
by judicial proceeding or otherwise the accuracy of any Statement.

     Section 7.6 No Reduction in Rent. In no event shall any decrease in Expense Factor or Tax
Factor in any Comparison Year below the Base Expense Factor or Base Tax Factor, as the case may be,
result in a reduction in the Fixed Rent or any other component of Additional Rent payable
hereunder.

ARTICLE 8

REQUIREMENTS OF LAW

     Section 8.1 Compliance with Requirements.

          (a) Tenant’s Compliance. Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all Requirements
applicable to the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to comply with
any Requirements requiring any structural alterations to the Building unless the application of
such Requirements arises from (i) the specific manner and nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of
the Premises, as distinct from general office use, (ii) Alterations made by Tenant, or (iii) a
breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. Any such repairs or alterations shall be made at
Tenant’s expense (1) by Tenant in compliance with Article 5 if such repairs or alterations are
nonstructural and do not affect any Building System, or (2) by Landlord if such repairs or
alterations are structural or affect any Building System. If Tenant obtains knowledge of any
failure to comply with any Requirements applicable to the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord
prompt notice thereof.

          (b) Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall not cause or permit (i) any Hazardous Materials to be
brought into the Building, (ii) the storage or use of Hazardous Materials in any manner other than
in full compliance with any Requirements, or (iii) the escape, disposal or release of any Hazardous
Materials within or in the vicinity of the Center. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent
Tenant’s use of any Hazardous Materials customarily used in the ordinary course of office work,
provided such use is in accordance with all Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at its
expense, for all matters directly or indirectly based on, or arising or resulting from the presence
of Hazardous Materials in the Center which is caused or permitted by a Tenant Party. Tenant shall
provide to Landlord copies of all communications received by Tenant with respect to any
Requirements relating to Hazardous Materials, and/or any claims made in connection therewith.
Landlord or its agents may perform environmental inspections of the Premises at any reasonable
time.

          (c) Landlord’s Compliance. Landlord shall comply with (or cause to be complied with) all
Requirements applicable to the Building which are not the obligation of Tenant, to the extent that
non-compliance would materially impair Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted
Uses.

16

 

          (d) Landlord’s Insurance. Tenant shall not cause or permit any action or condition that would
(i) invalidate or conflict with Landlord’s insurance policies, (ii) violate applicable rules,
regulations and guidelines of the Fire Department, Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any other
authority having jurisdiction over the Center, (iii) cause an increase in the premiums of fire
insurance for the Center or for the Building over that payable with respect to Comparable
Buildings, or (iv) result in Landlord’s insurance companies’ refusing to insure the Building or any
property therein in amounts and against risks as reasonably determined by Landlord. If fire
insurance premiums increase as a result of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this
Section 8.1, Tenant shall promptly cure such failure and shall reimburse Landlord for the increased
fire insurance premiums paid by Landlord as a result of such failure by Tenant.

     Section 8.2 Fire and Life Safety; Sprinkler. Tenant shall maintain in good order and repair
the sprinkler, fire-alarm and life-safety system in the Premises in accordance with this Lease, the
Rules and Regulations and all Requirements. If the Fire Insurance Rating Organization or any
Governmental Authority or any of Landlord’s insurers requires or recommends any modifications
and/or alterations be made or any additional equipment be supplied in connection with the sprinkler
system or fire alarm and life-safety system serving the Building by reason of Tenant’s business,
any Alterations performed by Tenant or the location of the partitions, Tenant’s Property, or other
contents of the Premises, Landlord (to the extent outside of the Premises) or Tenant (to the extent
within the Premises) shall make such modifications and/or Alterations, and supply such additional
equipment, in either case at Tenant’s expense.

ARTICLE 9

SUBORDINATION

     Section 9.1 Subordination and Attornment. (a) This Lease is subject and subordinate to all
Mortgages and Superior Leases. At the request of any Mortgagee or Lessor, Tenant shall attorn to
such Mortgagee or Lessor, its successors in interest or any purchaser in a foreclosure sale.

          (b) If a Lessor or Mortgagee or any other person or entity shall succeed to the rights of
Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or the delivery of a
new lease or deed, then at the request of the successor landlord and upon such successor landlord’s
written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment and to recognize Tenant’s interest under this
Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned to and recognized such successor landlord as
Landlord under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 9.1 are self-operative and require no
further instruments to give effect hereto; provided, however, that Tenant shall promptly execute
and deliver any instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request (i) evidencing such
attornment, (ii) setting forth the terms and conditions of Tenant’s tenancy, and (iii) containing
such other terms and conditions as may be required by such Mortgagee or Lessor, provided such terms
and conditions do not increase the Rent, materially increase Tenant’s other obligations or
materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Upon such attornment this Lease
shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such successor landlord and
Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Lease except that such
successor landlord shall not be

               (A) liable for any act or omission of Landlord (except to the extent such act or omission
continues beyond the date when such successor landlord succeeds to

17

 

Landlord’s interest and Tenant gives notice of such act or omission);

               (B) subject to any defense, claim, counterclaim, set-off or offset which Tenant may have
against Landlord;

               (C) bound by any prepayment of more than one month’s Rent to any prior landlord;

               (D) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior
to the time such successor landlord succeeded to Landlord’s interest;

               (E) bound by any obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Premises except
for (x) repairs and maintenance required to be made by Landlord under this Lease, and (y) repairs
to the Premises as a result of damage by fire or other casualty or a partial condemnation pursuant
to the provisions of this Lease, but only to the extent that such repairs can reasonably be made
from the net proceeds of any insurance or condemnation awards, respectively, actually made
available to such successor landlord;

               (F) bound by any modification, amendment or renewal of this Lease made without successor
landlord’s consent;

               (G) liable for the repayment of any security deposit or surrender of any letter of credit,
unless and until such security deposit actually is paid or such letter of credit is actually
delivered to such successor landlord; or

               (H) liable for the payment of any unfunded tenant improvement allowance, refurbishment
allowance or similar obligation.

          (c) Tenant shall from time to time within 10 days of request from Landlord execute and deliver
any documents or instruments that may be reasonably required by any Mortgagee or Lessor to confirm
any subordination.

     Section 9.2 Mortgage or Superior Lease Defaults. Any Mortgagee may elect that this Lease
shall have priority over the Mortgage and, upon notification to Tenant by such Mortgagee, this
Lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Mortgage, regardless of the date of this Lease.
In connection with any financing of the Real Property or the Center or the interest of any Lessor,
Tenant shall consent to any reasonable modifications of this Lease requested by any lending
institution, provided such modifications do not increase the Rent, materially increase the other
obligations, or materially and adversely affect the rights, of Tenant under this Lease.

     Section 9.3 Tenant’s Termination Right. As long as any Superior Lease or Mortgage exists,
Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of Landlord until
(a) Tenant shall have given notice of such act or omission to all Lessors and/or Mortgagees, and
(b) a reasonable period of time shall have elapsed following the giving of notice of such default
and the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods (unless such act or omission is not
capable of being remedied within a reasonable period of time), during which period such Lessors
and/or Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy such act or omission and
shall thereafter diligently proceed to so remedy such act or obligation. If any Lessor or
Mortgagee elects to remedy such act or omission of Landlord,

18

 

Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease so long as such Lessor or Mortgagee is
proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect such remedy.

     Section 9.4 Provisions. The provisions of this Article 9 shall (a) inure to the benefit of
Landlord, any future owner of the Building or the Real Property, Lessor or Mortgagee and any
sublessor thereof and (b) apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate
upon the termination of any such Superior Lease or Mortgage.

     Section 9.5 Future Condominium Declaration. This Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder are and
will be subject and subordinate to any condominium declaration, by-laws and other instruments
(collectively, the “Declaration”) which may be recorded in order to subject the Building to a
condominium form of ownership pursuant to Article 9-B of the New York Real Property Law or any
successor Requirement, provided that the Declaration does not by its terms increase the Rent,
materially increase Tenant’s non-Rent obligations or materially and adversely affect Tenant’s
rights under this Lease. At Landlord’s request, and subject to the foregoing proviso, Tenant will
execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment of this Lease confirming such subordination and
modifying this Lease to conform to such condominium regime.

ARTICLE 10

SERVICES

     Section 10.1 Electricity. (a) Landlord shall redistribute or furnish electricity to or for
the use of Tenant in the Premises for the operation of Tenant’s electrical systems and equipment in
the Premises, at a level sufficient to accommodate a demand load of six watts per usable square
foot of office space in the Premises. An estimated charge for such electricity (the “Electrical
Inclusion Factor”) is included in Fixed Rent on a so-called “rent inclusion” basis; however, the
value to Tenant of such service may not be fully reflected in Fixed Rent. Accordingly, Tenant
agrees that following the commencement of Tenant’s ordinary business activities in the Premises,
Landlord may cause an independent electrical engineer or electrical consulting firm selected by
Landlord (“Landlord’s Consultant”) to make a determination, certified in writing to Landlord and
Tenant, of the full value of the electrical service supplied to Tenant, based upon a survey
indicating the lighting load, office equipment and all other electrical usage by Tenant.
Thereafter, Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, at its sole option, cause Landlord’s
Consultant to make subsequent determinations of the then full value of the electrical service
supplied to Tenant on the basis set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. If Landlord’s
Consultant determines that the full value of the electrical service supplied to Tenant exceeds the
Electrical Inclusion Factor, as increased from time to time in accordance with this Section 10.1,
then, upon notice to Tenant, Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be increased to
reflect the full value, on an annual basis, of such increased electrical usage by Tenant. Any
increase in Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be effective as of the date of the
increase in Tenant’s electrical usage, as determined by the survey, and Tenant’s liability therefor
shall be retroactive to such date. The computation of the Electrical Inclusion Factor under this
Article 10 is intended to constitute a formula for an agreed rental adjustment and may or may not
constitute an actual reimbursement to Landlord for the electrical service supplied to Tenant
pursuant to this Lease. If any tax is imposed on Landlord’s receipts or income from the
redistribution, furnishing, or sale of electricity to Tenant as provided for above (other than a
general tax on corporate income not specific to the provision of electricity), whether based on the
Electrical Inclusion Factor or any increase

19

 

therein provided for above, or otherwise, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such tax, if and
to the extent permitted by law. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Electrical Inclusion Factor (which is included in Fixed Rent) from
and after the Commencement Date even if Fixed Rent (other than the Electrical Inclusion Factor) is
not otherwise payable hereunder until the Rent Commencement Date, which payment shall be made at
the same time and in the same manner as Fixed Rent (whether or not then payable). All electricity
used during the performance of cleaning services, or the making of any Alterations or Restorative
Work in the Premises, or the operation of any supplemental or special air-conditioning systems
serving the Premises, shall be paid for by Tenant.

          (b) Electricity Rates. If Landlord’s cost of electricity increases or decreases after the
Commencement Date for any reason whatsoever, then the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall be
increased or decreased, as the case may be, in the same percentage for the remainder of the Term.
Landlord’s Consultant shall determine the percentage for the changes in the Electrical Inclusion
Factor resulting from any change in Landlord’s cost of electricity. Landlord shall notify Tenant
of any such changes and any such increase or decrease in Fixed Rent and the Electrical Inclusion
Factor shall be effective as of the date of such increase or decrease in Landlord’s cost of
electricity, and Tenant’s liability therefor shall be retroactive to such date. Notwithstanding
anything set forth herein to the contrary, the Electrical Inclusion Factor shall in no event be
decreased below the amount set forth in Article 1 of this Lease.

          (c) Submetering Option. Landlord shall have the option at any time after the Commencement
Date of installing submeters in the Premises at Tenant’s expense to measure Tenant’s electrical
consumption. If Landlord exercises such option, Fixed Rent shall be reduced by an amount equal to
the Electrical Inclusion Factor in effect as of commencement of the operation of such submeters,
and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, from time to time, but no more frequently than monthly, for its
consumption of electricity at the Premises, a sum equal to 109% of the product obtained by
multiplying (i) the Cost Per Kilowatt Hour, and (ii) the actual number of kilowatt hours of
electric current consumed by Tenant in such billing period. If any tax is imposed upon Landlord’s
receipts from the sale or resale of electricity to Tenant, Tenant shall pay such tax if and to the
extent permitted by law as if Tenant were the ultimate consumer of such electricity. Where more
than one meter measures the electricity to Tenant, the electricity measured by each meter shall be
computed and billed separately in accordance with the provisions set forth above. Bills for such
amounts shall be rendered to Tenant at such times as Landlord may elect.

          (d) Compliance. Tenant shall at all times comply with the rules and regulations of the
utility company supplying electricity to the Building. Tenant shall not use any electrical
equipment which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, would exceed the capacity of the electrical
equipment serving the Premises. If Landlord determines that Tenant’s electrical requirements
necessitate installation of any additional risers, feeders or other electrical distribution
equipment (collectively, “Electrical Equipment”), or if Tenant provides Landlord with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s need for excess electricity and requests that
additional Electrical Equipment be installed, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, install such
additional Electrical Equipment, provided that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, determines
that (i) such installation is practicable and necessary, (ii) such additional Electrical Equipment
is permissible under applicable Requirements, and (iii) the installation of such Electrical
Equipment will not cause permanent damage to the Building or the Premises, cause or create a
hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, interfere with or limit
electrical usage by other tenants or occupants of the Building or exceed the limits of the

20

 

switchgear or other facilities serving the Building, or require power in excess of that
available from the utility serving the Building.

     Section 10.2 Elevators. Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service to the Premises 24
hours per day, 7 days per week; provided, however, Landlord may limit passenger elevator service
during times other than Ordinary Business Hours. Landlord shall provide at least one freight
elevator serving the Premises available upon Tenant’s prior request, on a non-exclusive “first
come, first serve” basis with other Building tenants, on all weekdays (other than Observed
Holidays) from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and from 1:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., which hours of operation
are subject to change.

     Section 10.3 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. Landlord shall furnish to the
Premises heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (“HVAC”) in accordance with the Design Standards
set forth in Exhibit E during Ordinary Business Hours. Landlord shall have access to all
air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets and all other mechanical
installations of Landlord (collectively, “Mechanical Installations”), and Tenant shall not
construct partitions or other obstructions which may interfere with Landlord’s access thereto or
the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the Mechanical Installations. No Tenant Party shall
at any time enter the Mechanical Installations or tamper with, adjust, or otherwise affect such
Mechanical Installations. Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System fails to provide
cooled or heated air, as the case may be, to the Premises in accordance with the Design Standards
by reason of (i) any equipment installed by, for or on behalf of Tenant, which has an electrical
load in excess of the average electrical load and human occupancy factors for the HVAC System as
designed, or (ii) any rearrangement of partitioning or other Alterations made or performed by, for
or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall install, if missing, blinds or shades on all windows, which
blinds and shades shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, and shall keep all of the operable
windows in the Premises closed, and lower the blinds when necessary because of the sun’s position,
whenever the HVAC System is in operation or as and when required by any Requirement. Tenant shall
cooperate with Landlord and shall abide by the rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably
prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC System.

     Section 10.4 Overtime Freight Elevators and HVAC. The Fixed Rent does not include any charge
to Tenant for the furnishing of any freight elevator service or HVAC to the Premises during any
periods other than the hours set forth in Sections 10.2 and 10.3 (“Overtime Periods”). If Tenant
desires any such services during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall deliver notice to the Building
office requesting such services at least 24 hours prior to the time Tenant requests such services
to be provided; provided, however, that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to arrange such
service on such shorter notice as Tenant shall provide. On a single weekend during which Tenant
initially moves into the Premises for the conduct of its business, upon 5 days’ prior notice from
Tenant to Landlord, Landlord shall make available to Tenant freight elevator service in accordance
with Landlord’s then current rules and regulations applicable thereto from 8:00 p.m. on the
“move-in” Friday until 7:00 p.m. on Sunday at no cost to Tenant. If Landlord furnishes freight
elevator or HVAC service during Overtime Periods, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within 15 days after
demand the cost thereof at the then established rates for such services in the Building.

     Section 10.5 Cleaning. Landlord shall cause the Premises (excluding any portions thereof used
for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages, as an exhibition area or
classroom, for storage, as a shipping room, mail room or similar purposes, for

21

 

private bathrooms, showers or exercise facilities, as a trading floor, or primarily for
operation of computer, data processing, reproduction, duplicating or similar equipment) to be
cleaned, substantially in accordance with the standards set forth in Exhibit F. Any areas of the
Premises which Landlord is not required to clean hereunder or which require additional cleaning
shall be cleaned, at Tenant’s expense, by Landlord’s cleaning contractor, at rates which shall be
competitive with rates of other cleaning contractors providing comparable services to Comparable
Buildings. Landlord’s cleaning contractor and its employees shall have access to the Premises at
all times except between 8:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. on weekdays which are not Observed Holidays.

     Section 10.6 Water. Landlord shall provide warm and cold water in the core lavatories on each
floor of the Building and cold water for the pantry area of the Premises. If Tenant requires water
for any additional purposes, Tenant shall pay for the cost of bringing water to the Premises and
Landlord may install a meter to measure the water. Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost of such
installation, and for all maintenance, repairs and replacements thereto, and for the reasonable
charges of Landlord for the water consumed.

     Section 10.7 Refuse Removal. Landlord shall provide refuse removal services at the Building
for ordinary office refuse and rubbish. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord’s reasonable charge
for such removal to the extent that the refuse generated by Tenant exceeds the refuse customarily
generated by general office tenants. Tenant shall not dispose of any refuse in the Common Areas,
and if Tenant does so, Tenant shall be liable for Landlord’s reasonable charge for such removal.

     Section 10.8 Directory. The lobby shall contain a computerized directory for the Center
wherein the Building’s tenants shall be listed with a capacity for up to 25 listings per floor for
Tenant and others permitted to occupy the Premises hereunder. Tenant shall be entitled to a
proportionate share of such listings based on the rentable square footage of the Premises. From
time to time, but not more frequently than monthly, Landlord shall reprogram the computerized
directory for the Center to reflect such changes in the listings therein as Tenant shall request.
In addition, the lobby may contain a directory of tenants and Tenant shall be entitled to have its
name listed thereon.

     Section 10.9 Telecommunications. If Tenant requests that Landlord grant access to the
Building to a telecommunications service provider designated by Tenant for purposes of providing
telecommunications services to Tenant, Landlord shall use its good faith efforts to respond to such
request within 30 days. Tenant acknowledges that nothing set forth in this Section 10.9 shall
impose any affirmative obligation on Landlord to grant such request and that Landlord, in its sole
discretion, shall have the right to determine which telecommunications service providers shall have
access to Building facilities.

     Section 10.10 Service Interruptions. Landlord reserves the right to suspend any service when
necessary, by reason of Unavoidable Delays, accidents or emergencies, or for Restorative Work
which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are necessary or appropriate until such Unavoidable
Delay, accident or emergency shall cease or such Restorative Work is completed and Landlord shall
not be liable for any interruption, curtailment or failure to supply services. Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises as a
result of any such interruption, curtailment or failure of or defect in such service, or change in
the supply, character and/or quantity of electrical service, and to restore any such services,
remedy such situation and minimize any interference with Tenant’s business. Except as provided in
Section 10.11, the exercise of any such right or the

22

 

occurrence of any such failure by Landlord shall not constitute an actual or constructive
eviction, in whole or in part, entitle Tenant to any compensation, abatement or diminution of Rent,
relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord
or any Indemnitees by reason of inconvenience to Tenant, or interruption of Tenant’s business, or
otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure, defect or
interruption of, or change in the supply, character and/or quantity of electric service furnished
to the Premises for any reason except if attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord.

     Section 10.11 Rent Abatement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Lease, if Tenant is unable to use the Premises for the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business due
solely to (a) an interruption of an Essential Service (as hereinafter defined) resulting from
Landlord’s performance of an improvement to the Building or (b) Landlord’s breach of an obligation
under this Lease to perform repairs or replacements which results in Landlord’s failure to provide
an Essential Service, in each case other than as a result of Unavoidable Delays, casualty or
condemnation, and such condition continues for a period in excess of 10 consecutive Business Days
after (i) Tenant furnishes a notice to Landlord (the “Abatement Notice”) stating that Tenant’s
inability to use the Premises is solely due to such condition, (ii) Tenant does not actually use or
occupy the Premises during such period for the ordinary conduct of its business and (iii) such
condition has not resulted from the negligence or misconduct of any Tenant Party, then Fixed Rent,
Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment shall be abated on a per diem basis for the
period commencing on the 11th Business Day after Tenant delivers the Abatement Notice to Landlord
and ending on the earlier of (x) the date Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises, and (y)
the date on which such condition is substantially remedied. “Essential Service” shall mean a
service which Landlord is obligated under this Lease to provide to Tenant which if not provided
shall (1) effectively deny access to the Premises, (2) threaten the health or safety of any
occupants of the Premises or (3) prevent or materially and adversely restrict the usage of more
than 25% of the Premises for the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business.

     Section 10.12 Access to Premises. Subject to Unavoidable Delays, security requirements,
service interruptions, the Rules and Regulations, Tenant shall have access to the Premises 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.

ARTICLE 11

INSURANCE; PROPERTY LOSS OR DAMAGE

     Section 11.1 Tenant’s Insurance. (a) Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and keep in full
force and effect during the Term:

     (i) a policy of commercial general liability insurance on an occurrence basis against
claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and/or property damage occurring in or
about the Building or the Center, under which Tenant is named as the insured and Landlord,
Landlord’s Agent and any Lessors and any Mortgagees whose names have been furnished to
Tenant are named as additional insureds (the “Insured Parties”). Such insurance shall
provide primary coverage without contribution from any other insurance carried by or for the
benefit of the Insured Parties, and Tenant shall obtain blanket broad-form contractual
liability coverage to insure its indemnity obligations set forth in Article 25. The minimum
limits of liability applying exclusively to the Premises shall be a combined single limit
with respect to each occurrence in an amount of not less

23

 

than $3,000,000; provided, however, that Landlord shall retain the right to require
Tenant to increase such coverage from time to time to that amount of insurance which in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment is then being customarily required by landlords for similar
office space in Comparable Buildings. The self insured retention for such policy shall not
exceed $10,000;

     (ii) insurance against loss or damage by fire, and such other risks and hazards as are
insurable under then available standard forms of “Special Form Causes of Loss” or “All Risk”
property insurance policies with extended coverage, insuring Tenant’s Property and all
Alterations and improvements to the Premises (including the Initial Installations) to the
extent such Alterations and improvements exceed the cost of the improvements typically
performed in connection with the initial occupancy of tenants in the Building (“Building
Standard Installations”), for the full insurable value thereof or replacement cost thereof,
having a deductible amount, if any, not in excess of $25,000.

     (iii) during the performance of any Alteration, until completion thereof, Builder’s
Risk insurance on an “all risk” basis and on a completed value form including a Permission
to Complete and Occupy endorsement, for full replacement value covering the interest of
Landlord and Tenant (and their respective contractors and subcontractors) in all work
incorporated in the Building and all materials and equipment in or about the Premises;

     (iv) Workers’ Compensation Insurance, as required by law;

     (v) Business Interruption Insurance; and

     (vi) such other insurance in such amounts as the Insured Parties may reasonably require
from time to time.

          (b) All insurance required to be carried by Tenant (i) shall contain a provision that (x) no
act or omission of Tenant other than intentional acts or omissions shall affect or limit the
obligation of the insurance company to pay the amount of any loss sustained, and (y) such insurance
shall be noncancellable and/or no material change in coverage shall be made thereto unless the
Insured Parties receive 30 days’ prior notice of the same, by certified mail, return receipt
requested, and (ii) shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies issued by reputable
insurers permitted to do business in the State of New York and rated in Best’s Insurance Guide, or
any successor thereto as having a “Best’s Rating” of “A-” or better and a “Financial Size Category”
of at least “VII” or better or, if such ratings are not then in effect, the equivalent thereof or
such other financial rating as Landlord may at any time consider reasonably appropriate.

          (c) On or prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord appropriate
policies of insurance, including evidence of waivers of subrogation required to be carried pursuant
to this Article 11 and that the Insured Parties are named as additional insureds (the “Policies”).
Evidence of each renewal or replacement of the Policies shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord at
least 10 days prior to the expiration of the Policies. In lieu of the Policies, Tenant may deliver
to Landlord a certification from Tenant’s insurance company (on the form currently designated
“Acord 27” (Evidence of Property Insurance) and “Acord 25-S” (Certificate of Liability Insurance),
or the equivalent, provided that attached thereto is an endorsement to Tenant’s commercial general
liability policy naming the Insured Parties as additional insureds, which shall be binding on
Tenant’s insurance company, and which shall expressly provide that

24

 

such certification (i) conveys to the Insured Parties all the rights and privileges afforded
under the Policies as primary insurance, and (ii) contains an unconditional obligation of the
insurance company to advise all Insured Parties in writing by certified mail, return receipt
requested, at least 30 days in advance of any termination of or material change to the Policies
that would affect the interest of any of the Insured Parties.

          (d) Landlord shall keep the Building insured against damage and destruction by fire,
vandalism, and other perils under “all risk” property insurance written on a replacement cost
basis. In addition, Landlord shall maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance for
claims for personal injury, death and/or property damage occurring in or about the Building that is
consistent with the insurance maintained by owners of first-class office buildings in Manhattan.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord is an Institutional Owner, then Landlord may
elect to self-insure with respect to the insurance coverages required by the terms of this Section
11.1(d).

     Section 11.2 Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant shall each procure an appropriate
clause in or endorsement to any property insurance covering the Real Property and personal
property, fixtures and equipment located therein, wherein the insurer waives subrogation or
consents to a waiver of right of recovery, and Landlord and Tenant agree not to make any claim
against, or seek to recover from, the other for any loss or damage to its property or the property
of others resulting from fire or other hazards. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord shall not carry
insurance on, and shall not be responsible for, (i) damage to any Above Building Standard
Installations, (ii) Tenant’s Property, and (iii) any loss suffered by Tenant due to interruption of
Tenant’s business.

     Section 11.3 Restoration. (a) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, or if
the Building is damaged such that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the Premises, the
damage shall be repaired by Landlord, to substantially the condition of the Premises prior to the
damage, subject to the provisions of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, but Landlord shall have no
obligation to repair or restore (i) Tenant’s Property, or (ii) except as provided in Section
11.3(b), any Alterations or improvements to the Premises to the extent such Alterations or
improvements exceed Building Standard Installations (“Above Building Standard Installations”). So
long as Tenant is not in default beyond applicable grace or notice provisions in the payment or
performance of its obligations under this Section 11.3, and provided Tenant timely delivers to
Landlord either Tenant’s Restoration Payment (as hereinafter defined) or the Restoration Security
(as hereinafter defined) or Tenant expressly waives any obligation of Landlord to repair or restore
any of Tenant’s Above Building Standard Installations, then until the restoration of the Premises
is Substantially Completed or would have been Substantially Completed but for Tenant Delay, Fixed
Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment shall be reduced in the proportion by
which the area of the part of the Premises which is not usable (or accessible ) and is not used by
Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises. This Article 11 constitutes an express agreement
governing any case of damage or destruction of the Premises or the Building by fire or other
casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, which provides for
such contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other law of like nature and
purpose now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in any such case.

          (b) As a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to repair or restore any of Tenant’s
Above Building Standard Installations, Tenant shall (i) pay to Landlord upon demand a sum
(“Tenant’s Restoration Payment”) equal to the amount, if any, by which (A) the cost, as

25

 

estimated by a reputable independent contractor designated by Landlord, of repairing and
restoring all Alterations and Initial Installations in the Premises to their condition prior to the
damage, exceeds (B) the cost of restoring the Premises with Building Standard Installations, or
(ii) furnish to Landlord security (the “Restoration Security”) in form and amount reasonably
acceptable to Landlord to secure Tenant’s obligation to pay all costs in excess of restoring the
Premises with Building Standard Installations. If Tenant shall fail to deliver to Landlord either
(1) Tenant’s Restoration Payment or the Restoration Security, as applicable, or (2) a waiver by
Tenant, in form satisfactory to Landlord, of all of Landlord’s obligations to repair or restore any
of the Above Building Standard Installations, in either case within 15 days after Landlord’s demand
therefor, Landlord shall have no obligation to restore any Above Building Standard Installations
and Tenant’s abatement of Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment shall
cease when the restoration of the Premises (other than any Above Building Standard Installations)
is Substantially Complete.

     Section 11.4 Landlord’s Termination Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Section 11.3, if the Premises are totally damaged or are rendered wholly untenantable, or if the
Building shall be so damaged that, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, substantial alteration,
demolition, or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises are so
damaged or rendered untenantable), then in either of such events, Landlord may, not later than 60
days following the date of the damage, terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, provided that if
the Premises are not damaged, Landlord may not terminate this Lease unless Landlord similarly
terminates the leases of other tenants in the Building aggregating at least 50% of the portion of
the Building occupied for office purposes immediately prior to such damage. If this Lease is so
terminated, (a) the Term shall expire upon the 30th day after such notice is given, (b) Tenant
shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord, (c) Tenant’s liability for Rent shall
cease as of the date of the damage, and (d) any prepaid Rent for any period after the date of the
damage shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.

     Section 11.5 Tenant’s Termination Right. If the Premises are totally damaged and are thereby
rendered wholly untenantable, or if the Building shall be so damaged that Tenant is deprived of
reasonable access to the Premises, and if Landlord elects to restore the Premises, Landlord shall,
within 60 days following the date of the damage, cause a contractor or architect selected by
Landlord to give notice (the “Restoration Notice”) to Tenant of the date by which such contractor
or architect estimates the restoration of the Premises (excluding any Above Building Standard
Installations) shall be Substantially Completed. If such date, as set forth in the Restoration
Notice, is more than 15 months from the date of such damage, then Tenant shall have the right to
terminate this Lease by giving notice (the “Termination Notice”) to Landlord not later than 30 days
following delivery of the Restoration Notice to Tenant. If Tenant delivers a Termination Notice,
this Lease shall be deemed to have terminated as of the date of the giving of the Termination
Notice, in the manner set forth in the second sentence of Section 11.4.

     Section 11.6 Final 12 Months. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 11, if
any damage during the final 12 months of the Term renders the Premises wholly untenantable, either
Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within 30 days after the
occurrence of such damage and this Lease shall expire on the 30th day after the date of such
notice. For purposes of this Section 11.6, the Premises shall be deemed wholly untenantable if
Tenant shall be precluded from using more than 50% of the Premises for the conduct of its business
and Tenant’s inability to so use the Premises is reasonably expected to continue for more than 90
days.

26

 

     Section 11.7 Landlord’s Liability. Any Building employee to whom any property shall be
entrusted by or on behalf of Tenant shall be deemed to be acting as Tenant’s agent with respect to
such property and neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for any damage to such property,
or for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise. None of the Insured
Parties shall be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property or interruption of Tenant’s
business resulting from fire or other casualty, any damage caused by other tenants or persons in
the Building or by construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, or any latent defect
in the Premises or in the Building (except that Landlord shall be required to repair the same to
the extent provided in Article 6). No penalty shall accrue for delays which may arise by reason of
adjustment of fire insurance on the part of Landlord or Tenant, or for any Unavoidable Delays
arising from any repair or restoration of any portion of the Building, provided that Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises
during the performance of any such repair or restoration.

ARTICLE 12

EMINENT DOMAIN

     Section 12.1 Taking.

          (a) Total Taking. If all or substantially all of the Real Property, the Building or the
Premises shall be acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public purpose (a “Taking”), this
Lease shall terminate and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title and Rent shall
be prorated and adjusted as of such date.

          (b) Partial Taking. Upon a Taking of only a part of the Real Property, the Building or the
Premises then, except as hereinafter provided in this Article 12, this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect, provided that from and after the date of the vesting of title, Fixed Rent,
Tenant’s Tax Payment and Tenant’s Operating Payment shall be modified to reflect the reduction of
the Premises and/or the Building as a result of such Taking.

          (c) Landlord’s Termination Right. Whether or not the Premises are affected, Landlord may, by
notice to Tenant, within 60 days following the date upon which Landlord receives notice of the
Taking of all or a portion of the Real Property, the Building or the Premises, terminate this
Lease, provided that Landlord elects to terminate leases (including this Lease) affecting at least
50% of the rentable area of the Building.

          (d) Tenant’s Termination Right. If the part of the Real Property so Taken contains more than
20% of the total area of the Premises occupied by Tenant immediately prior to such Taking, or if,
by reason of such Taking, Tenant no longer has reasonable means of access to the Premises, Tenant
may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given within 30 days following the date upon which
Tenant is given notice of such Taking. If Tenant so notifies Landlord, this Lease shall end and
expire upon the 30th day following the giving of such notice. If a part of the Premises shall be
so Taken and this Lease is not terminated in accordance with this Section 12.1 Landlord, without
being required to spend more than it collects as an award, shall, subject to the provisions of any
Mortgage or Superior Lease, restore that part of the Premises not so Taken to a self-contained
rental unit substantially equivalent (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services)
to that which existed immediately prior to such Taking, excluding Tenant’s Property and Above
Building Standard Installations.

27

 

          (e) Apportionment of Rent. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 12, Rent shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and
including, the date of such termination.

     Section 12.2 Awards. Upon any Taking, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any such
Taking, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value
of any unexpired portion of the Term or Tenant’s Alterations; and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord
all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Article 12 shall be deemed to
prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the then value of
any Tenant’s Property or Above Building Standard Installations included in such Taking and for any
moving expenses, provided any such award is in addition to, and does not result in a reduction of,
the award made to Landlord.

     Section 12.3 Temporary Taking. If all or any part of the Premises is Taken temporarily during
the Term for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord
and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent
payable by Tenant without reduction or abatement and to perform all of its other obligations under
this Lease, except to the extent prevented from doing so by the condemning authority, and Tenant
shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning authority for such use, which
shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of the Rent falling due.

ARTICLE 13

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     Section 13.1 Consent Requirements.

          (a) No Transfers. Except as expressly set forth herein, Tenant shall not assign, mortgage,
pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and
shall not sublet, or permit, or suffer the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by
others (whether for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise), without Landlord’s prior consent
in each instance. Any assignment, sublease, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance or transfer in
contravention of the provisions of this Article 13 shall be void and shall constitute an Event of
Default.

          (b) Collection of Rent. If, without Landlord’s consent, this Lease is assigned, or any part
of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant or this Lease is encumbered (by
operation of law or otherwise), Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant,
and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such collection shall be deemed
a waiver of the provisions of this Article 13, an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant
as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s covenants hereunder, and in all
cases Tenant shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Lease.

          (c) Further Assignment/Subletting. Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall
not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to any further assignment or
subletting. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further
sublet any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit any portion of the sublet
space to be used or occupied by others.

28

 

     Section 13.2 Tenant’s Notice. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any
portion of the Premises, Tenant shall submit a statement to Landlord (an “A/S Statement”)
containing the following information: (a) the name and address of the proposed subtenant or
assignee, (b) with respect to an assignment of this Lease, the terms and conditions of the proposed
assignment, including, without limitation, the consideration payable for such assignment, any
additional consideration payable for leasehold improvements or Tenant’s Property and the cost of
any work to prepare the Premises for occupancy by such assignee and the date Tenant desires the
assignment to be effective, and (c) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises, a
term sheet executed by Tenant and the proposed subtenant containing a description of the portion of
the Premises to be sublet, and the terms and conditions of the proposed subletting, including,
without limitation, the consideration per rentable square foot payable for such subletting (the
“Sublease Rent”), any additional consideration payable for leasehold improvements and Tenant’s
Property and the cost of any work to prepare the sublet space for occupancy by such subtenant and
the date Tenant desires the subletting to be effective. Such notice shall be deemed an irrevocable
offer from Tenant to Landlord of the right, at Landlord’s option, (1) to terminate this Lease with
respect to such space as Tenant proposes to sublease (the “Partial Space”), upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, or (2) if the proposed transaction is an assignment of this Lease
or a subletting of 50% or more of the rentable square footage of the Premises, to terminate this
Lease with respect to the entire Premises. Such option may be exercised by notice from Landlord to
Tenant within 30 days after delivery of Tenant’s A/S Statement. If Landlord exercises its option
to terminate all or a portion of this Lease, (a) this Lease shall end and expire with respect to
all or a portion of the Premises, as the case may be, on the date that such assignment or sublease
was to commence, provided that such date is in no event less than 90 days after the date of the
above notice unless Landlord agrees to an earlier date, (b) Rent shall be apportioned, paid or
refunded as of such date, (c) Tenant, upon Landlord’s request, shall enter into an amendment of
this Lease ratifying and confirming such total or partial termination, and setting forth any
appropriate modifications to the terms and provisions hereof, and (d) Landlord shall be free to
lease the Premises (or any part thereof) to Tenant’s prospective assignee or subtenant. Tenant
shall pay all costs to make the Partial Space a self-contained rental unit and install any required
Building corridors.

     Section 13.3 (a) Landlord’s Leaseback. If Landlord receives a notice from Tenant as
described in Section 13.2 with respect to a sublease for less than the remainder of the Term,
Landlord or its designee may, at its option, in lieu of exercising the option described in Section
13.2 but subject to the same 30-day period, sublease from Tenant the space described in Tenant’s
notice (such space being hereafter referred to as the “Leaseback Space”). If Landlord exercises
its option to sublet the Leaseback Space, such sublease shall be at a rental rate equal to the
product of the lesser of (x) the rent per rentable square foot then payable pursuant to this Lease,
and (y) the Sublease Rent, multiplied by the rentable square foot area of the Leaseback Space;
shall be for the same term as that of the proposed sublease; and shall:

     (i) be expressly subject to all of the covenants, terms and conditions of this Lease
except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable, and except as expressly set forth in this
Article 13 to the contrary;

     (ii) give the subtenant the unqualified and unrestricted right, without Tenant’s
consent, to assign such sublease or any interest therein and/or to sublet all or any portion
of the space covered by such sublease and to make alterations and improvements in the space
covered by such sublease;

29

 

     (iii) provide that any assignee or further subtenant of Landlord or its designee, may,
at Landlord’s option, be permitted to make alterations and decorations in such space and
that any or all of such alterations and decorations may be removed by such assignee or
subtenant, at its option, prior to or upon the expiration or other termination of such
sublease, provided that such assignee or subtenant shall, at its expense, repair any damage
caused by such removal; and

     (iv) provide that (A) the parties to such sublease expressly negate any intention that
the sublease estate be merged with any other estate held by either of such parties, (B) any
assignment or sublease by Landlord or its designee (as the subtenant) may be for any purpose
or purposes that Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate, (C) Tenant shall,
at its sole cost and expense, at all times provide and permit reasonably appropriate means
of ingress to and egress from such space so sublet by Tenant to Landlord or its designee,
(D) Landlord may, at Tenant’s expense, make such alterations as may be required or deemed
necessary by Landlord to physically separate the Leaseback Space from the balance of the
Premises and to comply with any Requirements or insurance requirements relating to such
separation, and (E) at the expiration of the term of such sublease, Tenant will accept the
Leaseback Space in its then existing condition, subject to the obligations of the subtenant
to make such repairs as may be necessary to preserve such premises in good order and
condition.

          (b) Obligations Re: Leaseback Space. If Landlord exercises its option to sublet the Leaseback
Space:

     (i) Performance by Landlord, or its designee, under a sublease of the Leaseback Space
shall be deemed performance by Tenant of any similar obligation under this Lease and Tenant
shall not be liable for any default under this Lease or deemed to be in default hereunder if
such default is occasioned by or arises from any act or omission of the subtenant pursuant
such sublease;

     (ii) Tenant shall have no obligation, at the expiration or earlier termination of the
Term, to remove any alteration, installation or improvement made in the Leaseback Space by
Landlord (or Landlord’s designee); and

     (iii) Any consent required of Tenant, as Landlord under the sublease, shall be deemed
granted if consent with respect thereto is granted by Landlord under this Lease, and any
failure of Landlord (or its designee) to comply with the provisions of the sublease other
than with respect to the payment of Rent shall not constitute a default thereunder or
hereunder if Landlord shall have consented to such non-compliance.

     Section 13.4 Conditions to Assignment/Subletting. (a) If Landlord does not exercise either of
Landlord’s options provided under Sections 13.2 and 13.3, and provided no Event of Default then
exists, Landlord’s consent to the proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such consent shall be granted or denied within 30 days after
delivery to Landlord of (i) the documentation and information required under Section 13.2, (ii) a
true and complete statement reasonably detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant
(“Transferee”), the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, (iii) current
financial information with respect to the Transferee, including its most recent financial
statements, and (iv) any other information Landlord may reasonably request, provided that:

30

 

               (A) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the Transferee is engaged in a business or
activity,
and the Premises will be used in a manner, which (1) is in keeping with the then standards of the
Building and the Center, (2) is for the Permitted Uses, and (3) does not violate any restrictions
set forth in this Lease, any Mortgage or Superior Lease or any negative covenant as to use of the
Premises required by any other lease in the Center;

               (B) the Transferee is reputable with sufficient financial means to perform all of its
obligations under this Lease or the sublease, as the case may be;

               (C) if Landlord has, or reasonably expects to have within 5 months thereafter, comparable
space available in the Center, neither the Transferee nor any person or entity which, directly or
indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Transferee is then an
occupant of the Center;

               (D) the Transferee is not a person or entity (or affiliate of a person or entity) with whom
Landlord is then or has been within the prior 5 months negotiating in connection with the rental of
space in the Center;

               (E) there shall be not more than 2 subtenants in each floor of the Premises;

               (F) the aggregate consideration to be paid by the Transferee under the terms of the proposed
sublease shall not be less than 90% of the fixed rent at which Landlord is then offering to lease
other space in the Building (the “Market Sub-rent”) determined as though the Premises were vacant
and taking into account (1) the length of the term of the proposed sublease, (2) any rent
concessions granted to Transferee, and (3) the cost of any Alterations being performed for the
Transferee;

               (G) Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by
Landlord in connection with such assignment or sublease, including any investigations as to the
acceptability of the Transferee and all legal costs reasonably incurred in connection with the
granting of any requested consent;

               (H) Tenant shall not list the Premises to be sublet or assigned with a broker, agent or other
entity or otherwise offer the Premises for subletting at a rental rate less than the Market
Sub-rent; and

               (I) the Transferee shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign
immunity, regardless of whether the Transferee agrees to waive such diplomatic or sovereign
immunity, and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of,
the City and State of New York.

          (b) With respect to each and every subletting and/or assignment approved by Landlord under the
provisions of this Lease:

     (i) the form of the proposed assignment or sublease shall be reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord;

     (ii) no sublease shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the Expiration
Date;

31

 

     (iii) if an Event of Default occurs prior to the effective date of such assignment or
subletting, then Landlord’s consent thereto, if previously granted, shall be immediately
deemed revoked without further notice to Tenant, and if such assignment or subletting would
have been permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 13.8, such permission
shall be void and without force and effect, and in either such case, any such assignment or
subletting shall constitute a further Event of Default hereunder;

     (iv) no Transferee shall take possession of any part of the Premises, until an executed
counterpart of such sublease or assignment has been delivered to Landlord and approved by
Landlord as provided in this Section 13.4(b); and

     (v) each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to
which this Lease is or shall be subordinate; and Tenant and each Transferee shall be deemed
to have agreed that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default
hereunder, Tenant has hereby assigned to Landlord, and Landlord may, at its option, accept
such assignment of, all right, title and interest of Tenant as sublandlord under such
sublease, together with all modifications, extensions and renewals thereof then in effect
and such Transferee shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then
executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (A) liable for any
previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (B) subject to any counterclaim,
offset or defense not expressly provided in such sublease, which theretofore accrued to such
Transferee against Tenant, (C) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not
consented to by Landlord or by any prepayment of more than one month’s rent, (D) bound to
return such Transferee’s security deposit, if any, except to the extent Landlord shall
receive actual possession of such deposit and such Transferee shall be entitled to the
return of all or any portion of such deposit under the terms of its sublease, or (E)
obligated to make any payment to or on behalf of such Transferee, or to perform any work in
the subleased space or the Building, or in any way to prepare the subleased space for
occupancy, beyond Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section
13.4(b)(v) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give
effect to this provision, provided that the Transferee shall execute and deliver to Landlord
any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such subordination
and attornment.

     Section 13.5 Binding on Tenant; Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding any assignment
or subletting or any acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee, Tenant shall remain fully
liable for the payment of all Rent due and for the performance of all the covenants, terms and
conditions contained in this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, and any default
under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease by any Transferee or anyone claiming under or
through any Transferee shall be deemed to be a default under this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall
indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all Losses resulting
from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the Transferee or anyone claiming under or
through any Transferee or by any brokers or other persons or entities claiming a commission or
similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease, irrespective of
whether Landlord shall give or decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease,
or if Landlord shall exercise any of its options under this Article 13.

     Section 13.6 Tenant’s Failure to Complete. If Landlord consents to a proposed assignment or
sublease and Tenant fails to execute and deliver to Landlord such assignment or

32

 

sublease within 90 days after the giving of such consent or the economic terms of such
assignment or sublease are less than 95% of the terms contained in the A/S Statement or the amount
of space subject to such sublease varies by more than 10% from that specified in the A/S Statement,
then Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Sections 13.2, 13.3 and
13.4 before assigning this Lease or subletting all or part of the Premises.

     Section 13.7 Profits. If Tenant enters into any assignment or sublease permitted hereunder or
consented to by Landlord, Tenant shall, within 90 days of Landlord’s consent to such assignment or
sublease, deliver to Landlord a list of Tenant’s reasonable third-party brokerage fees, legal fees
and architectural fees paid or to be paid in connection with such transaction and, in the case of
any sublease, any actual costs incurred by Tenant in separately demising the sublet space and any
free rent and all amounts paid by Tenant in making Alterations to effectuate such sublease or
provided by Tenant as a work allowance therefor (collectively, “Transaction Costs”), together with
a list of all of Tenant’s Property to be transferred to such Transferee. The Transaction Costs
shall be amortized, on a straight-line basis, over the term of any sublease. Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord evidence of the payment of any Transaction Costs within 30 days after the same are paid
(and if Tenant shall fail to do so, no such fees or costs for which Tenant shall have failed to
provide evidence of payment shall qualify as Transaction Costs). In consideration of such
assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord:

          (a) In the case of an assignment, on the effective date of the assignment, 50% of all sums and
other consideration paid to Tenant by the Transferee for or by reason of such assignment (including
sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less the then fair market or rental value
thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord) after first deducting the Transaction Costs; or

          (b) In the case of a sublease, 50% of any consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant
by the Transferee which exceeds on a per square foot basis the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent
accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the sublet space (together with any sums
paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less the then fair market or rental value
thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord) after first deducting the monthly amortized amount
of Transaction Costs. The sums payable under this clause shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord
monthly as and when paid by the subtenant to Tenant.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant hereby agrees that the costs incurred by Tenant in
the performance of Tenant’s Initial Installations in any portion(s) of the Premises that Tenant
sublets (to the extent paid or reimbursed out of Landlord’s Contribution (which for purposes of
this Section 13.7 shall be deemed to be $12.00 per rentable square foot of any such sublet portion
of the Premises initially demised hereunder)) shall not in any case be deemed a component of
Transaction Costs.

     Section 13.8 Transfers.

          (a) Related Entities. If Tenant is a legal entity, the transfer (by one or more transfers),
directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of a majority of the stock or other
beneficial ownership interest in Tenant (collectively “Ownership Interests”) shall be deemed a
voluntary assignment of this Lease; provided, however, that the provisions of this Article 13 shall
not apply to the transfer of Ownership Interests in Tenant if and so long as Tenant is publicly
traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange. For purposes of this Article, the term
“transfers” shall be deemed to include (x) the issuance of new Ownership

33

 

Interests which results in a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant being held by a
person or entity which does not hold a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant on the
Effective Date and (y) except as provided below, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of Tenant in one or more transactions and the merger or consolidation of Tenant into
or with another business entity. The provisions of Section 13.1 shall not apply to transactions
with a business entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which
substantially all of Tenant’s assets or Ownership Interests are transferred so long as (i) such
transfer was made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the purpose of
transferring this Lease, (ii) the successor to Tenant or such transferee has a net worth computed
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the net worth of
Tenant or the transferor, as the case may be, immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or
transfer, and (iii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth is delivered to Landlord at
least 10 days prior to the effective date of any such transaction. Tenant may also, upon prior
notice to Landlord, (A) permit any business entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under
common control with the original named Tenant (a “Related Entity”) to sublet all or part of the
Premises for any Permitted Use or (B) assign this Lease to a Related Entity, provided, in either
case, the Related Entity is in Landlord’s reasonable judgment of a character and engaged in a
business which is in keeping with the standards for the Building and for so long as such entity
remains a Related Entity. Such sublease shall not be deemed to vest in any such Related Entity any
right or interest in this Lease nor shall such sublease or assignment relieve, release, impair or
discharge any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. For the purposes hereof, “control” shall be
deemed to mean ownership of not less than 50% of all of the Ownership Interests of such corporation
or other business entity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to assign this
Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Premises without Landlord’s consent pursuant to this
Section 13.8 if Tenant is not the initial Tenant herein named or a person or entity who acquired
Tenant’s interest in this Lease in a transaction approved by Landlord or permitted under this
Section 13.8.

          (b) Applicability. The limitations set forth in this Section 13.8 shall apply to
Transferee(s) and guarantor(s) of this Lease, if any, and any transfer by any such entity in
violation of this Section 13.8 shall be a transfer in violation of Section 13.1.

          (c) Modifications, Takeover Agreements. Any modification, amendment or extension of a
sublease and/or any other agreement by which a landlord of a building other than the Building (or
its affiliate) agrees to assume the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be deemed a
sublease for the purposes of Section 13.1 hereof.

     Section 13.9 Assumption of Obligations. No assignment or transfer shall be effective unless
and until the Transferee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee (a) assumes Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease from and after the effective date of such assignment and (b) agrees that,
notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, the provisions of Section 13.1 hereof shall be binding
upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers.

     Section 13.10 Tenant’s Liability. The joint and several liability of Tenant and any
successors-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease
shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or
any grantee or assignee of Landlord, extending the time, or modifying any of the terms and
provisions of this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of
Landlord, to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease.

34

 

     Section 13.11 Listings in Building Directory. The listing of any name other than that of
Tenant on the doors of the Premises, the Building directory or elsewhere shall not vest any right
or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any
assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or occupancy
thereof by others. Any such listing shall constitute a privilege revocable in Landlord’s
discretion by notice to Tenant.

     Section 13.12 Lease Disaffirmance or Rejection. If at any time after an assignment by Tenant
named herein, this Lease is not affirmed or is rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding or any similar
proceeding, or upon a termination of this Lease due to any such proceeding, Tenant named herein,
upon request of Landlord given after such disaffirmance, rejection or termination (and actual
notice thereof to Landlord in the event of a disaffirmance or rejection or in the event of
termination other than by act of Landlord), shall (a) pay to Landlord all Rent and other charges
due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such
disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as “tenant,” enter into a new lease of the
Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection
or termination and ending on the Expiration Date, at the same Rent and upon the then executory
terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the rights of Tenant named
herein under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this
Lease and the possessory rights of any persons or entities claiming through or under such assignee
or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, (ii) such new lease shall require all
defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant named herein with due diligence, and (iii)
such new lease shall require Tenant named herein to pay all Rent which, had this Lease not been so
disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have become due under the provisions of this Lease
after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior
thereto. If Tenant named herein defaults in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a
period of 10 days after Landlord’s request, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by
reason of default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies
against Tenant named herein as if it had entered into such new lease and such new lease had
thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant’s default
thereunder.

ARTICLE 14

ACCESS TO PREMISES

     Section 14.1 Landlord’s Access. (a) Landlord, Landlord’s agents and utility service providers
servicing the Building may erect, use and maintain concealed ducts, pipes and conduits in and
through the Premises provided such use does not cause the usable area of the Premises to be reduced
beyond a de minimis amount. Landlord shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by
any work performed pursuant to this Article 14.

          (b) Landlord, any Lessor or Mortgagee and any other party designated by Landlord and their
respective agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon
reasonable notice (which notice may be oral) except in the case of emergency, to examine the
Premises, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees, Lessors or tenants and their
respective agents and representatives or others and to perform Restorative Work to the Premises or
the Building.

35

 

          (c) All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Premises) of all walls, windows and
doors bounding the Premises, all balconies, terraces and roofs adjacent to the Premises, all space
in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, mail chutes, conduits and other
mechanical facilities, Building Systems, Building facilities and Common Areas are not part of the
Premises, and Landlord shall have the use thereof and access thereto through the Premises for the
purposes of Building operation, maintenance, alteration and repair.

          (d) In entering the Premises pursuant to this Section 14.1, Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises during any such
entry. Tenant shall have the right to have a representative accompany any party entering the
Premises pursuant to this Section 14.1 provided such representative is made available at the time
of such entry and upon any failure of Tenant to make such representative available, Landlord may
enter the Premises without such representative being present.

     Section 14.2 Building Name. Landlord has the right at any time to change the name, number or
designation by which the Building or Center is commonly known.

     Section 14.3 Light and Air. If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily
darkened or covered over by reason of any Restorative Work, any of such windows are permanently
darkened or covered over due to any Requirement or there is otherwise a diminution of light, air or
view by another structure which may hereafter be erected (whether or not by Landlord), Landlord
shall not be liable for any damages and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or
abatement of any Rent, nor shall the same release Tenant from its obligations hereunder or
constitute an actual or constructive eviction.

ARTICLE 15

DEFAULT

     Section 15.1 Tenant’s Defaults. Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default”
hereunder:

          (a) Tenant fails to pay when due any installment of Rent and such default shall continue for 5
Business Days after notice of such default is given to Tenant, except that if Landlord shall have
given two such notices of default in the payment of any Rent in any 12-month period, Tenant shall
not be entitled to any further notice of its delinquency in the payment of any Rent or an extended
period in which to make payment until such time as 12 consecutive months shall have elapsed without
Tenant having failed to make any such payment when due, and the occurrence of any default in the
payment of any Rent within such 12-month period after the giving of 2 such notices shall constitute
an Event of Default; or

          (b) Tenant fails to observe or perform any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease and
such failure continues for more than 30 days (10 days with respect to a default under Article 3)
after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or if such default (other than a default under
Article 3) is of a nature that it cannot be completely remedied within 30 days, failure by Tenant
to commence to remedy such failure within said 30 days, and thereafter diligently prosecute to
completion all steps necessary to remedy such default, provided in all events the same is completed
within 90 days; or

36

 

          (c) if Landlord applies or retains any part of the security held by it hereunder, and Tenant
fails to deposit with Landlord the amount so applied or retained by Landlord, or to provide
Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined), if applicable, within 5 days
after notice by Landlord to Tenant stating the amount applied or retained; or

          (d) Tenant defaults in the observance or performance of any term, covenant or condition on
Tenant’s part to be observed or performed under any other lease with Landlord or Landlord’s
predecessor-in-interest for space in the Center and such default shall continue beyond any grace
period set forth in such other lease for the remedying of such default; or

          (e) Tenant files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or is adjudicated a
bankrupt or insolvent, or files any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, liquidation,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal bankruptcy act or any other
present or future applicable federal, state or other statute or law, or makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or seeks or consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of any trustee,
receiver, liquidator or other similar official for Tenant or for all or any part of Tenant’s
property; or

          (f) a court of competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree adjudicating
Tenant bankrupt, or appointing a trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant, or of the whole or any
substantial part of its property, without the consent of Tenant, or approving a petition filed
against Tenant seeking reorganization or arrangement of Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the
United States, as now in effect or hereafter amended, or any state thereof, and such order,
judgment or decree shall not be vacated or set aside or stayed within 60 days from the date of
entry thereof.

          Upon the occurrence of any one or more of such Events of Default, Landlord may, at its sole
option, give to Tenant 3 days’ notice of cancellation of this Lease (or of Tenant’s possession of
the Premises), in which event this Lease and the Term (or Tenant’s possession of the Premises)
shall terminate (whether or not the Term shall have commenced) with the same force and effect as if
the date set forth in the notice was the Expiration Date stated herein; and Tenant shall then quit
and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in
this Article 15. Any notice of cancellation of the Term (or Tenant’s possession of the Premises)
may be given simultaneously with any notice of default given to Tenant.

     Section 15.2 Landlord’s Remedies.

          (a) Possession/Reletting. If any Event of Default occurs and this Lease and the Term, or
Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.1:

     (i) Surrender of Possession. Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord,
and Landlord and its agents may immediately, or at any time after such termination, re-enter
the Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any
other applicable action or proceeding, or by force (to the extent permitted by law) or
otherwise in accordance with applicable legal proceedings (without being liable to
indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), and may repossess the Premises and dispossess
Tenant and any other persons or entities from the Premises and remove any and all of their
property and effects from the Premises.

37

 

     (ii) Landlord’s Reletting. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet all or any part
of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such
tenant or tenants, for any term ending before, on or after the Expiration Date, at such
rental and upon such other conditions (which may include concessions and free rent periods)
as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine. Landlord shall have no obligation to
accept any tenant offered by Tenant and shall not be liable for failure to relet or, in the
event of any such reletting, for failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting;
and no such failure shall relieve Tenant of, or otherwise affect, any liability under this
Lease. However, to the extent required by law, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
mitigate its damages but shall not be required to divert prospective tenants from any other
portions of the Building or the Center. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such
alterations, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in
its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with such reletting or
proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise
affecting any such liability.

          (b) Tenant’s Waiver. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons or entities
claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, hereby waives all rights which Tenant
and all such persons or entities might otherwise have under any Requirement (i) to the service of
any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings, (ii) to redeem, or to
re-enter or repossess the Premises, or (iii) to restore the operation of this Lease, after (A)
Tenant shall have been dispossessed by judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, (B) any
re-entry by Landlord, or (C) any expiration or early termination of the term of this Lease, whether
such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination shall be by operation of law or pursuant to
the provisions of this Lease. The words “re-enter,” “re-entry” and “re-entered” as used in this
Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings.

          (c) Tenant’s Breach. Upon the breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any persons or
entities claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease,
Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and to invoke any other remedy allowed by law
or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in
this Lease for such breach. The rights to invoke the remedies set forth above are cumulative and
shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.

     Section 15.3 Landlord’s Damages.

          (a) Amount of Damages. If this Lease and the Term, or Tenant’s right to possession of the
Premises, terminate as provided in Section 15.1, then:

     (i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all items of Rent payable under this Lease by Tenant
to Landlord prior to the date of termination;

     (ii) Landlord may retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as
prepaid Rent, a security deposit or otherwise, which monies, to the extent not otherwise
applied to amounts due and owing to Landlord, shall be credited by Landlord against any
damages payable by Tenant to Landlord;

     (iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in monthly installments, on the days specified in
this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent, any Deficiency; it being understood
that Landlord shall be entitled to recover the Deficiency from Tenant each month as the same
shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any

38

 

month, shall prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent
month by a similar proceeding; and

     (iv) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency and as liquidated and agreed
final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the Rent for the period which otherwise
would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term (assuming the Additional Rent
during such period to be the same as was payable for the year immediately preceding such
termination or re-entry, increased in each succeeding year by 4% (on a compounded basis))
exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises, for the same period (with
both amounts being discounted to present value at a rate of interest equal to 2% below the
then Base Rate) less the aggregate amount of Deficiencies theretofore collected by Landlord
pursuant to the provisions of Section 15.3(a)(iii) for the same period. If, before
presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the
Premises, or any part thereof, shall have been relet by Landlord for the period which
otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, the
amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed prima facie, to be the fair and
reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term
of the reletting.

          (b) Reletting. If the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be relet together with other space
in the Building, the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the expenses of any
such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section 15.3. Tenant shall
not be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting, whether or not such rents
exceeds the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease. Nothing contained in Article 15 shall be deemed to
limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained
as damages by any Requirement, or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in
addition to the damages set forth in this Section 15.3.

     Section 15.4 Interest. If any payment of Rent is not paid when due, interest shall accrue on
such payment, from the date such payment became due until paid at the Interest Rate. Tenant
acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of Rent will cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and
impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges,
and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any note secured by a Mortgage
covering the Premises. Therefore, in addition to interest, if any amount is not paid when due, a
late charge equal to 5% of such amount shall be assessed, provided, however, that on 2 occasions
during any calendar year of the Term, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such late payment and
Tenant shall have a period of 5 days thereafter in which to make such payment before any late
charge is assessed. Such interest and late charges are separate and cumulative and are in addition
to and shall not diminish or represent a substitute for any of Landlord’s rights or remedies under
any other provision of this Lease.

     Section 15.5 Other Rights of Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent when due,
Landlord, in addition to any other right or remedy, shall have the same rights and remedies as in
the case of a default by Tenant in the payment of Fixed Rent. If Tenant is in arrears in the
payment of Rent, Tenant waives Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items against which any
payments made by Tenant are to be credited, and Landlord may apply any payments made by Tenant to
any items Landlord sees fit, regardless of any request by Tenant. Landlord reserves the right,
without liability to Tenant and without constituting any claim of

39

 

constructive eviction, to suspend furnishing or rendering to Tenant any property, material,
labor, utility or other service, whenever Landlord is obligated to furnish or render the same at
the expense of Tenant, in the event that (but only for so long as) Tenant is in arrears in paying
Landlord for such items for more than 5 days after notice from Landlord to Tenant demanding the
payment of such arrears.

ARTICLE 16

LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE; FEES AND EXPENSES

          If Tenant defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, without
waiving such default, may perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense: (a) immediately, and
without notice, in the case of emergency or if the default (i) materially interferes with the use
by any other tenant of the Building, (ii) materially interferes with the efficient operation of the
Building, (iii) results in a violation of any Requirement, or (iv) results or will result in a
cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (b) in any other case if such
default continues after 10 days from the date Landlord gives notice of Landlord’s intention to
perform the defaulted obligation. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in
connection with any such performance by it and all reasonable costs and expenses, including
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, incurred by Landlord as a result of any default by
Tenant under this Lease or in any action or proceeding (including any unlawful detainer proceeding)
brought by Landlord or in which Landlord is a party to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this
Lease and/or right of Landlord in or to the Premises, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on
demand, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date incurred by Landlord. Except as
expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all costs and expenses which, pursuant to this
Lease are incurred by Landlord and payable to Landlord by Tenant, and all charges, amounts and sums
payable to Landlord by Tenant for any property, material, labor, utility or other services which,
pursuant to this Lease or at the request and for the account of Tenant, are provided, furnished or
rendered by Landlord, shall become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord within 10 Business Days
after receipt of Landlord’s invoice for such amount.

ARTICLE 17

NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD; LANDLORD’S APPROVAL

     Section 17.1 No Representations. Except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord and
Landlord’s agents have made no warranties, representations, statements or promises with respect to
the Building, the Real Property, the Center or the Premises and no rights, easements or licenses
are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise. Tenant is entering into this Lease after full
investigation and is not relying upon any statement or representation made by Landlord not embodied
in this Lease.

     Section 17.2 No Money Damages. Wherever in this Lease Landlord’s consent or approval is
required, if Landlord refuses to grant such consent or approval, whether or not Landlord expressly
agreed that such consent or approval would not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall not make, and
Tenant hereby waives, any claim for money damages (including any claim by way of set-off,
counterclaim or defense) based upon Tenant’s claim or assertion that Landlord unreasonably withheld
or delayed its consent or approval. Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to
enforce such provision, by specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment. In no event
shall Landlord be liable for, and Tenant, on behalf of itself

40

 

and all other Tenant Parties, hereby waives any claim for, any indirect, consequential or
punitive damages, including loss of profits or business opportunity, arising under or in connection
with this Lease.

     Section 17.3 Reasonable Efforts. For purposes of this Lease, “reasonable efforts” by Landlord
shall not include an obligation to employ contractors or labor at overtime or other premium pay
rates or to incur any other overtime costs or additional expenses whatsoever.

ARTICLE 18

END OF TERM

     Section 18.1 Expiration. Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord vacant, broom clean and in good order and condition,
ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms of this Lease
excepted, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Property and Tenant’s Specialty Alterations as
may be required pursuant to Article 5.

     Section 18.2 Holdover Rent. Landlord and Tenant recognize that Landlord’s damages resulting
from Tenant’s failure to timely surrender possession of the Premises may be substantial, may exceed
the amount of the Rent payable hereunder, and will be impossible to accurately measure.
Accordingly, if possession of the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on the Expiration Date or
sooner termination of this Lease, in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have
hereunder or at law, Tenant shall (a) pay to Landlord for each month (or any portion thereof)
during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of
the Term, a sum equal to the greater of (i) one and one-half times the Fixed Rent plus one and
one-half times Tenant’s Tax Payment plus one and one-half times Tenant’s Operating Payment payable
under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term in the case of the first month (or
any portion thereof) of any holdover and two times the Fixed Rent plus two times Tenant’s Tax
Payment plus two times Tenant’s Operating Payment payable under this Lease for the last full
calendar month of the Term in the case of any month (or any portion thereof ) thereafter, and (ii)
one and one-half times the rent per month Landlord is then asking for comparable space in the
Building in the case of the first month (or any portion thereof) of any holdover and two times the
rent per month Landlord is then asking for comparable space in the Building thereafter or, if no
comparable space is then available in the Building, the fair market rental value of the Premises
for such month (as reasonably determined by Landlord),, (b) be liable to Landlord for (i) any
payment or rent concession which Landlord may be required to make to any tenant obtained by
Landlord for all or any part of the Premises (a “New Tenant”) in order to induce such New Tenant
not to terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant, and (ii) the loss of the
benefit of the bargain if any New Tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by
Tenant, and (c) indemnify Landlord against all claims for damages by any New Tenant. No
holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate
to extend the Term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain
possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, and no
acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of
this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.2.

     Section 18.3 Waiver of Stay. Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any person or entity
claiming through or under Tenant, any rights which Tenant or any such person or entity

41

 

may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and
of any successor Requirement of like import then in force, in connection with any holdover summary
proceedings which Landlord may institute to enforce the foregoing provisions of this Article 18.

ARTICLE 19

QUIET ENJOYMENT

     Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and no Event of Default then exists, Tenant
may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Premises without hindrance by Landlord or any person lawfully
claiming through or under Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and to all
Superior Leases and Mortgages.

ARTICLE 20

NO SURRENDER; NO WAIVER

     Section 20.1 No Surrender or Release. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents
or employees during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no
provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord or Tenant, unless such
waiver is in writing and is signed by the party being charged with such waiver.

     Section 20.2 No Waiver. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to
insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules
and Regulations, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future performance of
such obligations of this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, or of the right to exercise such
election but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any
subsequent breach, act or omission. The receipt by Landlord of any Rent payable pursuant to this
Lease or any other sums with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be
deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount
than the monthly Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of
the earliest stipulated Rent, or as Landlord may elect to apply such payment, nor shall any
endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be
deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice
to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this
Lease.

ARTICLE 21

WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY; COUNTERCLAIM

     Section 21.1 Jury Trial Waiver. LANDLORD AND TENANT HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION,
PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS IN ANY WAY
ARISING OUT OF OR CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE
OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES, OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY UNDER ANY STATUTE, EMERGENCY OR
OTHERWISE.

     Section 21.2 Waiver of Counterclaim. If Landlord commences any summary proceeding against
Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or

42

 

description in any such proceeding (unless failure to interpose such counterclaim would
preclude Tenant from asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such
counterclaim), and will not seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may
have been or will be brought in any other court by Tenant.

ARTICLE 22

NOTICES

     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, all consents, notices, demands,
requests, approvals or other communications given under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be
deemed sufficiently given or rendered if delivered by hand (provided a signed receipt is obtained)
or if sent by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or by a nationally recognized
overnight delivery service making receipted deliveries, addressed to Landlord and Tenant as set
forth in Article 1, and to any Mortgagee or Lessor who shall require copies of notices and whose
address is provided to Tenant, or to such other address(es) as Landlord, Tenant or any Mortgagee or
Lessor may designate as its new address(es) for such purpose by notice given to the other in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 22. Any such approval, consent, notice, demand,
request or other communication shall be deemed to have been given on the date of receipted
delivery, refusal to accept delivery or when delivery is first attempted but cannot be made due to
a change of address for which no notice is given or 3 Business Days after it shall have been mailed
as provided in this Article 22, whichever is earlier.

ARTICLE 23

RULES AND REGULATIONS

     All Tenant Parties shall observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations, as supplemented or
amended from time to time. Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to adopt additional
Rules and Regulations and to amend the Rules and Regulations then in effect. Nothing contained in
this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms,
covenants or conditions in any other lease against any other Building tenant, and Landlord shall
not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents,
visitors or licensees, provided that Landlord shall enforce any of the Rules and Regulations
against Tenant in a non-discriminatory fashion.

ARTICLE 24

BROKER

     Landlord has retained Landlord’s Agent as leasing agent in connection with this Lease and
Landlord will be solely responsible for any fee that may be payable to Landlord’s Agent. Landlord
agrees to pay a commission to Tenant’s Broker pursuant to a separate agreement. Each of Landlord
and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that neither it nor its agents have dealt with any
broker in connection with this Lease other than Landlord’s Agent and Tenant’s Broker. Each of
Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold the other party harmless from and
against any and all Losses which the indemnified party may incur by reason of any claim of or
liability to any broker, finder or like agent (other than Landlord’s Agent and Tenant’s Broker)
arising out of any dealings claimed to have occurred between the

43

 

indemnifying party and the claimant in connection with this Lease, and/or the above representation
being false.

ARTICLE 25

INDEMNITY

     Section 25.1 Tenant’s Indemnity. Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing
upon the Premises, the Building or the Center which may subject Landlord to any liability or
responsibility for injury, damages to persons or property or to any liability by reason of any
violation of any Requirement, and shall exercise such control over the Premises as to fully protect
Landlord against any such liability. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless
each of the Indemnitees from and against any and all Losses, resulting from any claims (i) against
the Indemnitees arising from any act, omission or negligence of (A) all Tenant Parties or (B) both
Landlord and Tenant, provided, however, that Tenant’s liability hereunder with respect to matters
judicially determined to have arisen out of the negligence of Landlord, which determination shall
not be subject to appeal, shall be limited to the amount of insurance coverage carried by Tenant
pursuant to Article 11, (ii) against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage
whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any person and occurring in or about the
Premises, and (iii) against the Indemnitees resulting from any breach, violation or nonperformance
of any covenant, condition or agreement of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be fulfilled, kept,
observed or performed.

     Section 25.2 Landlord’s Indemnity. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant
from and against all Losses incurred by Tenant arising from any accident, injury or damage
whatsoever caused to any person or the property of any person in or about the Common Areas
(specifically excluding the Premises) to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its employees or agents.

     Section 25.3 Defense and Settlement. If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought
against any Indemnitee, then upon demand by an Indemnitee, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,
shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnitee’s name (if necessary), by
attorneys approved by the Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (attorneys
for Tenant’s insurer shall be deemed approved for purposes of this Section 25.3). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an Indemnitee may retain its own attorneys to participate or assist in defending any
claim, action or proceeding involving potential liability in excess of the amount available under
Tenant’s liability insurance carried under Section 11.1 for such claim and Tenant shall pay the
reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys. If Tenant fails to diligently defend or if
there is a legal conflict or other conflict of interest, then Landlord may retain separate counsel
at Tenant’s expense. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, Tenant may direct
the Indemnitee to settle any claim, suit or other proceeding provided that (a) such settlement
shall involve no obligation on the part of the Indemnitee other than the payment of money, (b) any
payments to be made pursuant to such settlement shall be paid in full exclusively by Tenant at the
time such settlement is reached, (c) such settlement shall not require the Indemnitee to admit any
liability, and (d) the Indemnitee shall have received an unconditional release from the other
parties to such claim, suit or other proceeding.

44

     Section 26.2 Transfer of Real Property. Landlord’s obligations under this Lease shall not be
binding upon the Landlord named herein after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer
(collectively, a “Transfer”) by such Landlord (or upon any subsequent landlord after the Transfer
by such subsequent landlord) of its interest in the Building or the Real Property, as the case may
be, and in the event of any such Transfer, Landlord (and any such subsequent Landlord) shall be
entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder arising from and
after the date of Transfer, and the transferee of Landlord’s interest (or that of such subsequent
Landlord) in the Building or the Real Property, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have assumed
all obligations under this Lease arising from and after the date of Transfer.

     Section 26.3 Limitation on Liability. The liability of Landlord for Landlord’s obligations
under this Lease shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Real Property and Tenant shall not
look to any other property or assets of Landlord or the property or assets of any direct or
indirect partner, member, manager, shareholder, director, officer, principal, employee or agent of
Landlord (collectively, the “Parties”) in seeking either to enforce Landlord’s obligations under
this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord’s failure to perform such obligations; and none of
the Parties shall be personally liable for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this
Lease.

the United States Bankruptcy Code.

     Section 26.5 Entire Document. This Lease (including any Schedules and Exhibits referred to
herein and all supplementary agreements provided for herein) contains the entire agreement between
the parties and all prior negotiations and agreements are merged into this Lease. All of the
Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto are incorporated in and made a part of this Lease, provided

State of New York.

such event the remainder of this Lease or the application of such provision to any other person or
entity or any other circumstance (other than those as to which it shall be invalid or
unenforceable) shall not be thereby affected, and each provision hereof shall remain valid and
enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

     Section 26.8 Lease Disputes. (a) Tenant agrees that all disputes arising, directly or
indirectly, out of or relating to this Lease, and all actions to enforce this Lease, shall be dealt
with and adjudicated in the state courts of the State of New York or the federal courts for the

45

 

Southern District of New York and for that purpose hereby expressly and irrevocably submits
itself to the jurisdiction of such courts. Tenant agrees that so far as is permitted under
applicable law, this consent to personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further
instrument or action, other than service of process in one of the manners specified in this Lease,
or as otherwise permitted by law, shall be necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon it in any
such court.

          (b) To the extent that Tenant has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of
any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its
property, Tenant irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Lease.

     Section 26.9 Landlord’s Agent. Unless Landlord delivers notice to Tenant to the contrary,
Landlord’s Agent is authorized to act as Landlord’s agent in connection with the performance of
this Lease, and Tenant shall be entitled to rely upon correspondence received from Landlord’s
Agent. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s Agent is acting solely as agent for Landlord in
connection with the foregoing; and neither Landlord’s Agent nor any of its direct or indirect
partners, members, managers, officers, shareholders, directors, employees, principals, agents or
representatives shall have any liability to Tenant in connection with the performance of this
Lease, and Tenant waives any and all claims against any and all of such parties arising out of, or
in any way connected with, this Lease, the Building, the Real Property or the Center.

     Section 26.10 Estoppel. Within 10 days following request from Landlord, any Mortgagee or any
Lessor, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a statement executed and acknowledged by Tenant, in form
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (a) stating the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date
and the Expiration Date, and that this Lease is then in full force and effect and has not been

Fixed Rent and any Additional Rent have been paid, together with the amount of monthly Fixed Rent
and Additional, Rent then payable, (c) stating whether or not, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge,
Landlord is in default under this Lease, and, if Landlord is in default, setting forth the specific

Lease, (e) stating whether there are any subleases or assignments affecting the Premises, (f)
stating the address of Tenant to which all notices and communications under the Lease shall be

portion of Landlord’s interest in the Real Property or the Building or any Superior Lease, or by
any Mortgagee, or assignee thereof or by any Lessor, or assignee thereof.

     Section 26.11 Certain Interpretational Rules. For purposes of this Lease, whenever the words
“include”, “includes”, or “including” are used, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words
“without limitation” and, whenever the circumstances or the context requires, the singular shall be
construed as the plural, the masculine shall be construed as the feminine and/or the neuter and
vice versa. This Lease shall be interpreted and enforced without the aid of any canon, custom or
rule of law requiring or suggesting construction against the party drafting or causing the drafting
of the provision in question. The captions in this Lease are inserted only as a matter of
convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Lease or
the intent of any provision hereof.

46

 

     Section 26.12 Parties Bound. The terms, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in
this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and, except as otherwise
provided in this Lease, to their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.

     Section 26.13 Memorandum of Lease. This Lease shall not be recorded; however, at Landlord’s
request, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver a memorandum with
respect to this Lease sufficient for recording and Landlord may record the memorandum. Within 10
days after the end of the Term, Tenant shall enter into such documentation as is reasonably
required by Landlord to remove the memorandum of record.

     Section 26.14 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in 2 or more counterparts, each of
which shall constitute an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one
instrument.

     Section 26.15 Survival. All obligations and liabilities of Landlord or Tenant to the other
which accrued before the expiration or other termination of this Lease, and all such obligations
and liabilities which by their nature or under the circumstances can only be, or by the provisions
of this Lease may be, performed after such expiration or other termination, shall survive the
expiration or other termination of this Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to any indemnity under this Lease, and with
respect to any Rent and any other amounts payable under this Lease, shall survive the expiration or
other termination of this Lease.

     Section 26.16 Inability to Perform. This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent and
to perform all of the other covenants and agreements of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected,
impaired or excused by any Unavoidable Delays. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to promptly
notify Tenant of any Unavoidable Delay which prevents Landlord from fulfilling any of its
obligations under this Lease.

     Section 26.17 Vault Space. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease or indicated on
any sketch, blueprint or plan, no vaults, vault space or other space outside the boundaries of the
Real Property are included in the Premises. Landlord makes no representation as to the location of
the boundaries of the Real Property. All vaults and vault space and all other space outside the
boundaries of the Real Property which Tenant may be permitted to use or occupy are to be used or
occupied under a revocable license. If any such license shall be revoked, or if the amount of such
space shall be diminished as required by any Governmental Authority or by any public utility
company, such revocation, diminution or requisition shall not (a) constitute an actual or
constructive eviction, in whole or in part, (b) entitle Tenant to any abatement or diminution of
Rent, (c) relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or (d) impose any liability
upon Landlord. Any fee, tax or charge imposed by any Governmental Authority for any such vaults,
vault space or other space occupied by Tenant shall be paid by Tenant.

     Section 26.18 Adjacent Excavation; Shoring. If an excavation shall be made, or shall be
authorized to be made, upon land adjacent to the Real Property, Tenant shall, upon notice, afford
to the person or entity causing or authorized to cause such excavation license to enter upon the
Premises for the purpose of doing such work as such person or entity shall deem necessary to
preserve the wall of the Building or any part of the Center from injury or damage and to support
the same by proper foundations. In connection with such license, Tenant shall have no right to
claim any damages or indemnity against Landlord, or diminution or abatement of Rent, provided that
Tenant shall continue to have access to the Premises.

47

 

     Section 26.19 No Development Rights. Tenant acknowledges that it has no rights to any
development rights, air rights or comparable rights appurtenant to the Real Property and Tenant
consents, without further consideration, to any utilization of such rights by Landlord. Tenant
shall promptly execute and deliver any instruments which may be requested by Landlord, including
instruments merging zoning lots, evidencing such acknowledgment and consent. The provisions of
this Section 26.19 shall be construed as an express waiver by Tenant of any interest Tenant may
have as a “party in interest” (as such term is defined in Section 12-10 of Zoning Lot of the Zoning
Resolution of the City of New York) in the Real Property.

ARTICLE 27

LETTER OF CREDIT

     Section 27.1 Letter of Credit. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, upon Tenant’s execution of
this Lease, a Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined) in the amount specified in Article 1 as a
guaranty for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease. The letter of credit shall be in the form of a clean, irrevocable,
non-documentary and unconditional stand-by letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) issued by and
drawable upon any commercial bank, trust company, national banking association or savings and loan
association with offices for banking purposes in the City of New York (the “Issuing Bank”), which
has outstanding unsecured, uninsured and unguaranteed indebtedness, or shall have issued a letter
of credit or other credit facility that constitutes the primary security for any outstanding
indebtedness (which is otherwise uninsured and unguaranteed), that is then rated, without regard to
qualification of such rating by symbols such as “+” or “-” or numerical notation, “Aa” or better by
Moody’s Investors Service and “AA” or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service, and has combined
capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $2,000,000,000. The Letter of Credit shall
(a) name Landlord as beneficiary, (b) have a term of not less than one year, (c) permit multiple
drawings, (d) be fully transferable by Landlord without the payment of any fees or charges by
Landlord, and (e) otherwise be in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If upon
any transfer of the Letter of Credit any fees or charges shall be so imposed, then such fees or
charges shall be payable solely by Tenant and the Letter of Credit shall specify that it is
transferable without charge to Landlord. If Landlord pays any such fees or charges, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord therefor upon demand. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be
automatically renewed, without amendment or need for any other action, for consecutive periods of
one year each thereafter during the Term, as the same may be extended (and in no event shall the
Letter of Credit expire prior to the 45th day following the Expiration Date) unless the Issuing
Bank sends duplicate notices (the “Non-Renewal Notices”) to Landlord by certified mail, return
receipt requested (one of which shall be addressed “Attention, Chief Legal Officer” and the other
of which shall be addressed “Attention, Chief Financial Officer”), not less than 45 days next
preceding the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit stating that the Issuing Bank has
elected not to renew the Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall agree with all beneficiaries,
drawers, endorsers, transferees and bona fide holders that drafts drawn under and in compliance
with the terms of the Letter of Credit will be duly honored upon presentation to the Issuing Bank
at an office location in New York, New York. The Letter of Credit shall be subject in all respects
to the International Standby Practices 1998, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590.
Upon execution of this Lease and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant
shall be permitted to deposit a cash security deposit in the amount of $164,700.00 (the “Cash
Security”) with Landlord in lieu of the Letter of Credit, which Landlord

48

 

shall hold as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Lease. On or before 45 days after the date hereof, Tenant shall
deliver the Letter of Credit to Landlord in the form required by this Lease. Upon receipt of the
Letter of Credit, Landlord shall promptly return the Cash Security to Tenant. In the event that
Tenant fails to timely replace the Cash Security with the Letter of Credit, Landlord shall continue
to hold the Cash Security as the Security Deposit under this Lease, and may, at its option, deem
such failure to be an Event of Default hereunder. Landlord shall not be required to deposit the
Cash Security into an interest bearing account.

     Section 27.2 Application of Proceeds of Letter of Credit. If (a) an Event of Default by
Tenant occurs in the payment or performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Lease, including the payment of Rent, (b) Tenant fails to make any installment of Rent as and when
due or (c) Landlord receives a Non-Renewal Notice, Landlord shall have the right by sight draft to
draw, at its election, all or a portion of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit and thereafter
hold, use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of such proceeds, (x) to the extent required for
the payment of any Fixed Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default including (i) any
sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default, and/or
(ii) any damages to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to this Lease, whether such damages accrue
before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord and/or (y) as cash proceeds to
guaranty Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless and until Tenant delivers to Landlord a substitute
Letter of Credit which meets the requirements of this Article 27, provided at such time no default
or Event of Default by Tenant has occurred and is continuing, in which event Landlord shall have no
obligation to accept such substitute Letter of Credit and shall have the right to retain the cash
proceeds. If Landlord applies any part of the cash proceeds of the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall
promptly thereafter amend the Letter of Credit to increase the amount thereof by the amount so
applied or provide Landlord with an additional Letter of Credit in the amount so applied so that
Landlord shall have the full amount thereof on hand at all times during the Term. If Tenant shall
comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Letter of Credit or the
cash proceeds thereof, as the case may be, shall be returned to Tenant after the Expiration Date
and after delivery of possession of the Premises to Landlord in the manner required by this Lease.

     Section 27.3 Transfer. Upon a sale or other transfer of the Real Property or the Building,
Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit or the cash proceeds to its transferee. With respect
to the Letter of Credit, within 5 days after notice of such transfer, Tenant, at its sole cost,
shall (if required by Landlord) arrange for the transfer of the Letter of Credit to the new
landlord, as designated by Landlord in the foregoing notice or have the Letter of Credit reissued
in the name of the new landlord. Upon such transfer, Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord
for the return of the Letter of Credit or the cash proceeds and thereupon Landlord shall without
any further agreement between the parties be released by Tenant from all liability therefor, and it
is agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Letter
of Credit or the cash proceeds to a new landlord. Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt
to assign or encumber the Letter of Credit or the cash proceeds and neither Landlord nor its
successors or assigns shall be bound by any such action or attempted assignment, or encumbrance.

ARTICLE 28

SUBSTITUTE SPACE

     Section 28.1 At any time and from time to time whether before or after the Commencement Date,
Landlord shall have the one-time right to substitute other space in the Center (“Substitute Space”)
for the Premises by notice (a “Substitution Notice”) given to Tenant designating the space so
substituted for the Premises. The Substitute Space shall (i) have a rentable area substantially
similar to the Premises, (ii) shall have a substantially similar configuration, and (iii) shall not
be located below the 15th floor of the building in which the Substitute Space is located. Tenant
shall cooperate with Landlord in effectuating the substitution of space contemplated by this
Article. Notwithstanding such substitution of space, this Lease and all the terms, provisions,
covenants and conditions contained in this Lease shall remain and continue in full force and
effect, except that the Premises shall be and be deemed to be the Substitute Space, with the same
force and effect as if the Substitute Space were originally specified in this Lease as the Premises
demised hereunder.

     Section 28.2 In the event of the substitution of space as provided in Section 28.1 the
following provisions (a) through (d) shall apply:

          (a) If the Substitute Space has a rentable area less than Tenant’s Area, the Fixed Rent and
the Additional Rent payable under this Lease, effective on the date the Substitute Space is
available for occupancy by Tenant (the “Substitution Date”), shall be decreased appropriately. If
the Substitute Space has a rentable area greater than Tenant’s Area the Fixed Rent and the
Additional Rent payable under this Lease shall not be increased.

          (b) Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, prepare the Substitute Space in substantially the
same manner as the Premises were prepared for Tenant’s initial occupancy. Landlord shall have the
right to move any millwork, floor covering, cabinet work, and any other decoration as well as
telephone lines and any other communication line and other reusable items, from the Premises to the
Substitute Space.

          (c) As soon as Landlord has Substantially Completed preparing the Substitute Space as set
forth in Section 28.2(b), Tenant, upon 20 days’ prior written notice, shall move to the Substitute
Space at Landlord’s reasonable cost and expense, and upon failure of Tenant so to move to the
Substitute Space, Landlord, as Tenant’s agent, may remove Tenant from the Premises to the
Substitute Space. The failure of Tenant to move to the Substitute Space pursuant to this Article
28 within 5 days after the expiration of such 20 days’ notice shall be an Event of Default, and
Tenant shall pay Rent with respect to both the Premises and Substitute Space until Tenant has moved
to the Substitute Space. Landlord shall not move Tenant into the Substitute Space during business
hours.

          (d) Promptly after Tenant shall enter into occupancy of the Substitute Space, Landlord shall
reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable, direct, out-of-pocket moving expenses including but not
limited to the reasonable cost of disconnecting, moving and reconnecting telecommunication and data
processing equipment, installing cabling and, if required, replacing stationery, unless Landlord
moved Tenant into the Substitute Space pursuant to Section 28.2(c) above. Upon request from
Landlord, Tenant shall supply Landlord with satisfactory evidence of direct out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Tenant in moving from the Premises to the Substitute Space.

50

 

     Section 28.3 Following any substitution of space pursuant to this Article 28, Landlord and
Tenant, promptly at the request of either party, shall execute and deliver a supplementary
agreement setting forth such substitution of space, the Substitution Date and the change (if any)
in the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent.
