Patricia A. Warehime, individually (“PAW”).

     WHEREAS, Lance, Snyder’s of Hanover, Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (“Snyder’s”), and Lima
Merger Corp., a Pennsylvania corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Lance (“Merger Sub”),
have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated the date hereof (as amended, modified or

will merge with and into Snyder’s (the “Merger”);

     WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, MAW is the Beneficial Owner of 84,965 shares of Class A Common
Stock of Snyder’s, par value $100.00 per share, and PAW is the Beneficial Owner of 7,350 shares of
Class A Common Stock of Snyder’s, par value $100.00 per share (collectively, with any other

Agreement, the “MAW/PAW Snyder’s Shares”);

     WHEREAS, upon consummation of the Merger, MAW and PAW shall receive Lance Shares in exchange
for his or her MAW/PAW Snyder’s Shares (such Lance Shares received in exchange for Snyder’s Shares
upon consummation of the Merger, together with all other Lance Shares which MAW or PAW is the
record owner or Beneficial Owner of at any time, the “MAW/PAW Lance Shares”); and

     WHEREAS, as a condition to Lance’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Lance has
required that MAW and PAW enter into this Agreement and, in order to induce Lance to enter into the
Merger Agreement, MAW and PAW are willing to enter into this Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be legally bound, each of the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Certain Definitions.

     For the purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. As used in this
Agreement, the following terms have the respective meanings set forth below.

     “Beneficial Owner” and “Beneficial Ownership” and words of similar import have the meaning
assigned to such terms in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act and a
Person’s Beneficial Ownership of securities shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions
of such rules; provided, that a Person shall be deemed to have Beneficial Ownership of all
securities that such Person has a right to acquire without regard to the 60 day limitation in such
rule.

     “Family Member” includes, with respect to MAW or PAW, any child, stepchild, grandchild,
parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law,
daughter-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing MAW’s or PAW’s household
(other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent of
the beneficial interest, a foundation in which these persons (or MAW or PAW) control the management
of assets, and any other entity in which these persons (or MAW or PAW) own more than fifty percent of
the voting interests.

 

 

2. Standstill in Respect of MAW/PAW Lance Shares.

     (a) MAW and PAW hereby agree that, from and after the date hereof until the third anniversary
of the Effective Time of the Merger, he or she shall not, directly or indirectly, unless
specifically agreed to in writing by a majority of the independent members of the board of
directors of Lance or expressly contemplated by the terms of this Agreement:

          (i) acquire, offer to acquire, or agree to acquire, directly or indirectly, by purchase or
otherwise, any securities or direct or indirect rights to acquire Lance Shares or any other
securities of Lance, or any material assets of Lance or any Subsidiary or division thereof;
provided, that following the Effective Time, MAW and PAW shall be permitted to acquire
Lance Shares (A) pursuant to exercise of stock options granted to MAW and PAW, (B) directly from a
Family Member or (C) by reinvesting dividends received in respect of MAW/PAW’s Lance Shares in
accordance with applicable securities Laws and Lance’s internal policies related thereto;
provided, further, that any such reinvesting of dividends shall be done outside of
any dividend reinvestment program sponsored by Lance. For the avoidance of doubt, any compensation
of MAW and PAW from Lance (whether in cash, other assets or Lance stock or stock options) shall not
be prohibited by this Agreement, but any Lance Shares received directly or indirectly as
compensation of MAW and PAW shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement;

          (ii) Transfer, or enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to, or
consent to, a Transfer of, any or all of the MAW/PAW Lance Shares; provided, that (A) if
MAW or PAW is an “affiliate” (as such term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule
144”)) of Lance, such person that is an “affiliate” shall be permitted to Transfer any of its
MAW/PAW Lance Shares in a Transfer pursuant to Rule 144 or, if MAW or PAW is not an “affiliate” (as
such term is defined in Rule 144) of Lance, then such person shall be permitted to Transfer any of
its MAW/PAW Lance Shares to the same extent as would be permitted pursuant to Rule 144 if such
person was an “affiliate” of Lance pursuant to Rule 144 and (B) each of MAW and PAW may Transfer
the MAW/PAW Lance Shares held by such person to a Family Member of such person for estate planning
purposes; provided, further, that each transferee pursuant to clause (B) shall
agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (solely with respect to the MAW/PAW
Lance Shares transferred pursuant to this clause (B)) upon or prior to the consummation of such
Transfer; or

          (iii) take any action contrary to the following aspects of Snyder’s and Lance’s proposed
governance structure following the Merger as reflected in Exhibit C to the Merger
Agreement: (A) reducing the total number of directors from 16 in 2010 to 14 in 2011 and to 12 in
2012, (B) the re-election of those Lance directors who are eligible for re-election in 2011 and (C)
the re-election of those Lance directors who are eligible for re-election in 2012.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall
the aggregate Beneficial Ownership of Lance Shares by MAW and PAW exceed thirty percent (30%) of
the issued and outstanding Lance Shares at any time.

3. Representations and Warranties of MAW.

     MAW and PAW hereby represent and warrant to Lance as follows:

     (a) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by MAW and
PAW, nor the consummation by MAW and PAW of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) conflict
with or result in any breach of the organizational documents of Snyder’s; (ii) require any Permit from
any or Governmental Body or any authorization, consent or approval from any other Person; (iii)
result in, or give rise to, a violation or breach of or a default under any of the terms of any
material contract,

2

 

understanding, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which MAW and/or
PAW is a party or by which MAW and PAW or any of the MAW/PAW Snyder’s Shares or MAW and PAW assets
may be bound, or (iv) violate any applicable Law, except, with respect to any of the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iv), as does not and could not reasonably be expected to impair MAW’s or PAW’s
ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

     (b) Reliance by Lance. MAW and PAW understand and acknowledge that Lance is entering
into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by MAW and

and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation.

     (b) Authority Relative to This Agreement. Lance has the requisite corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby. This Agreement and the consummation by Lance of the transactions contemplated hereby have
been duly and validly authorized by the board of directors of Lance, and no other corporate
proceedings on the part of Lance are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered
by Lance and, assuming that this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the MAW
and PAW, constitutes the valid and binding agreement of Lance, enforceable against Lance in
accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability may be limited by (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws now or hereafter in effect relating to
creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

     (c) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Lance, nor
the consummation by Lance of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) conflict with or result
in any breach of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of Lance; (ii) require any Permit
from any Governmental Body; (iii) result in, or give rise to, a violation or breach of or a default
under any of the terms of any material contract, understanding, agreement or other instrument or
obligation to which Lance is a party, or (iv) violate any applicable Law, except, with respect to
any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), as does not and could not reasonably be expected to
impair Lance’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5. Termination.

     (a) Subject to Section 5(b), this Agreement shall terminate and neither Lance nor MAW or PAW
shall have any rights or obligations hereunder upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the termination

Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (iii) the third anniversary of the Effective
Time of the Merger.

     (b) Notwithstanding Section 5(a), (i) termination of this Agreement shall not prevent any
party hereunder from seeking any remedies (at Law or in equity) against any other party hereto for
such party’s breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) Sections 4 and 6(b) through
6(p), inclusive, of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     (b) Appraisal Rights. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, MAW and PAW hereby
waive any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that he or she may have under
applicable Law.

     (c) Further Actions. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will use its
reasonable best efforts to do all things necessary to effectuate this Agreement.

     (d) Waivers. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation
by or on behalf of any party hereto, nor any failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in
the exercise of any right hereunder, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking
such action of compliance of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in
this Agreement. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereunder shall not
operate or be construed as a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach of the same or any other
provision hereunder.

     (e) Counterparts. For the convenience of the parties hereto, this Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission), each
such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall
together constitute the same agreement.

     (f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the principles of conflict of
laws thereof.

     (g) Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

          (i) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any
Pennsylvania state or federal court of appropriate jurisdiction in any action arising out of or
relating to this Agreement and hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action
may be heard and determined in such Pennsylvania state or federal court. Each of the parties
hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action. The parties further agree, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, that any final and nonappealable judgment against any of them in any
action referred to above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in any other jurisdiction within
or outside the United States by suit on the judgment, a certified copy of which shall be conclusive
evidence of the fact and amount of such judgment.

          (ii) EACH OF LANCE, MAW AND PAW HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
ACTION, SUIT, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

     (h) Specific Performance. MAW and PAW recognize and acknowledge that a breach of
covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement will cause Lance to sustain irreparable damage
for which Lance would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages. Therefore, MAW and PAW
agree that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, Lance shall be entitled to seek
and obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance
of such covenant or obligation and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. MAW and PAW
further agree to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with
the obtaining

4

 

of any such injunctive or other equitable relief. Lance shall be entitled to recover
its attorneys’ fees and all of its costs and expenses in enforcing this Agreement.

     (i) Notices. All notices, requests, instructions or other documents to be given

that any attempt by either MAW or PAW to circumvent the restrictions contemplated hereby shall be
deemed a breach of this Agreement and shall be null and void.

is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

Exhibit 10.11

TIMES SQUARE TOWER FORM

SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

BETWEEN

O’MELVENY & MYERS LLP

AND

RESOURCES CONNECTION INC.

dba RESOURCES GLOBAL PROFESSIONALS

 

 

SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

          THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (this “Sublease”) is dated as of January 21, 2010 for reference
purposes only, by and between O’MELVENY & MYERS LLP, a California limited liability partnership
(“Sublandlord”) and RESOURCES CONNECTION INC., a Delaware corporation, dba RESOURCES GLOBAL
PROFESSIONALS (“Subtenant”) for premises at 7 Times Square Tower, New York, New York 10036 (the
“Building”).

RECITALS

          A. No. 1 Times Square Development LLC (“Landlord”) and Sublandlord, as
tenant entered into a certain Lease dated January 28, 2003, regarding the leasing of space in
the
Building. The Lease, as amended by six subsequent amendments (described in Exhibit A),
is
referred to herein as the Master Lease, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit
A.

          B. Sublandlord desires to sublease to Subtenant and Subtenant desires to
sublease from Sublandlord the entire premises located on the 26th floor of the
Building on the
terms and conditions hereinafter provided.

          C. Sublandlord and Subtenant are submitting this Sublease to Landlord for its
consent pursuant to that certain Consent to Sublease Agreement (the “Consent”) substantially
in
the form attached as Exhibit C. Upon the execution of the Consent by all parties, the
terms of
the Consent shall be incorporated in this Sublease by this reference.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and
for other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Sublandlord and Subtenant agree as follows:

1. SUBLEASED PREMISES

     Sublandlord hereby leases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby leases from Sublandlord,
approximately 27,488 rentable square feet of space, being the entirety of the 26th floor
of the Building (the “Subleased Premises”) as more particularly described on Exhibit B
attached hereto. The square footage set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be
conclusive for purposes of this Sublease and shall not be subject to adjustment and/or
remeasurement.

2. MASTER LEASE

     2.1 Incorporation of Master Lease

     This Sublease is subject to and subordinate to the Master Lease, except as otherwise set forth
in Section 15 below. All of the covenants, agreements, terms, conditions and provisions of
the Master Lease relating to or applicable to the tenant under the Master Lease, but only insofar
as such terms, conditions and provisions relate to the Subleased Premises and any related uses or
occupancy of the Building, are incorporated herein and made a part hereof with the same force and
effect as if set forth at length herein, it being understood and agreed that said provisions shall
fix the rights and obligations of Subtenant with the same effect as if Subtenant were the tenant
named in the Master Lease, except that (i) any reference to the “Landlord” in the Master Lease

1

 

shall mean Landlord and Sublandlord, (ii) any reference
in the Master Lease to “Tenant” shall mean
Subtenant, and (iii) provisions of the Master Lease not applicable to the 26th Floor and
the Subleased Premises, or the use thereof or related uses of the Building, or specifically
overridden by this Sublease, shall not be incorporated into or applicable to this Sublease. As an
example, Subtenant’s liability for the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be limited to
amounts set forth in this Sublease. Similarly, the Annual HVAC Special Charge referred to in
Section 1.1(b) of the Master Lease shall not apply to Subtenant. Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord
shall have all of the rights and remedies of Landlord under the Master Lease relating to the
Subleased Premises with respect to Subtenant as if such rights and remedies were fully set forth
herein. As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, (x) the last sentence of Section 36.1(a) and the
limitations on liability in the last sentence of Section 36.1(c) of the Master Lease shall be
disregarded, it being the intent of the parties that recourse against Sublandlord not be limited by
such two sentences, and (y) in the event of a conflict between the terms of the Master Lease and
the terms of this Sublease, the terms of this Sublease will control. The rights of Subtenant to use
and occupy the Subleased Premises shall be as set forth in this Sublease and shall in no event
include or be deemed to include any right on the part of Sublandlord to renew, extend, expand,
exercise a right of first refusal or first offer, exercise full or partial termination rights, or
hold over, unless such right is specifically conferred on Subtenant hereunder. In all provisions of
the Master Lease requiring the approval or consent of Landlord, Subtenant shall be required to
obtain the approval or consent of Sublandlord hereunder except as otherwise provided herein (which
shall be given or withheld in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Sublease), and of
Landlord. Sublandlord represents that the Master Lease is the only agreement existing among
Landlord and Sublandlord with respect to the Subleased Premises and that Subtenant shall have no
obligations except as provided in this Sublease and in the Master Lease.

     2.2 Sublandlord’s Limited Obligations

          Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.2, (i) Sublandlord shall observe and
perform for the benefit of Subtenant, the terms of the Master Lease which are necessary and
required to give Subtenant the benefits and rights provided by this Sublease; provided that any
actions, omissions or defaults by Subtenant which impair or prevent Sublandlord’s performance of
this commitment, shall reduce Sublandlord’s obligations accordingly hereunder, (ii) so long as
Subtenant is not in default hereunder beyond applicable notice, cure and/or grace periods,
Sublandlord shall not take any action that would trigger any recapture or underletting right of
Landlord with respect to the Subleased Premises; and (iii) to the extent not inconsistent with the
agreements or understandings expressed in this Sublease or applicable only to the original parties
to the Master Lease, the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease are hereby
incorporated herein by reference and the term “Landlord” as used in the Master Lease shall refer to
Sublandlord hereunder, it successors and assigns. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Sublease to the contrary, including, but not limited to Section 2.1 above, Sublandlord
shall have no liability by reason of: (i) any default of Landlord under the Master Lease, or (ii)
any failure of Landlord to comply with its obligations under the Master Lease except as expressly
provided herein. If Sublandlord shall fail to fulfill any obligation of Sublandlord hereunder and
if such failure is caused by the failure of Landlord to comply with its obligations under the
Master Lease or arising by operation of law, Sublandlord shall have no obligation or liability by
reason of such failure, this Sublease will remain in full force and effect and Subtenant will
continue to pay Rent without any abatement,

2

 

deduction or offset, except that if rent is abated under the Master Lease in respect of the
Subleased Premises, then Rent under this Sublease shall be proportionately abated. Subtenant shall
be subrogated to the rights of Sublandlord to enforce the obligations of Landlord under the Master
Lease insofar as such obligations relate to the Subleased Premises and such subrogation is not
otherwise prohibited; and if such subrogation is prohibited, then at Subtenant’s written request
Sublandlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the obligations of Landlord under
the Master Lease as applicable to the Subleased Premises with reasonable attention to limiting the
duration and effect thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentences, (or
Sublandlord’s obligation to take commercially reasonable measures as directed by Subtenant).
Subtenant understands that the supplying of heat, light, water, air conditioning, electricity and
other utilities, janitorial, cleaning, window washing and elevator services, the provision of any
other services, the construction or replacement of any improvements, and building maintenance and
repair are the obligations of Landlord (except as provided herein), and that Sublandlord has no
control with respect to the same, shall have no responsibility in connection therewith (except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Sublease), and shall not be liable in any way with respect to
the failure of or interference with any of such services or facilities. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Sublandlord shall use reasonable efforts to pursue rent abatement rights under the
Master Lease that may pertain to the Subleased Premises, at Subtenant’s written direction. If, in
accordance with Subtenant’s written request, Sublandlord shall commence any proceeding or take any
other action to enforce the obligations of Landlord insofar as such obligations relate to the
Subleased Premises, or if Subtenant takes any such action pursuant to this Section 2.2,
Subtenant agrees to indemnify, defend (with legal counsel acceptable to Sublandlord), and hold
harmless Sublandlord from and against any liabilities, costs or expenses (including attorneys’
fees) which Sublandlord may incur in connection therewith or by reason thereof (excluding any such
amounts directly arising from Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct); provided that
in no event shall Sublandlord be obligated to institute any cause of action or other proceedings
with respect to the Master Lease. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Section 2.2 and the terms of Section 2.1 above, the terms of this Section
2.2 shall prevail. Sublandlord shall pay all rent as and when due under the Master Lease and
shall pay any late charges or interest due under the Master Lease arising out of any late payments
of rent under the Master Lease, provided such late charges or interest are actually paid by
Sublandlord to Landlord. Sublandlord further represents that (i) the Master Lease is in full force
and effect and that Sublandlord is not in default thereunder and (ii) a true, correct and (except
for the strikeouts as set forth in the redacted version of the Master Lease attached as Exhibit A)
complete copy of the Master Lease is attached as Exhibit A.

     2.3 Adherence To Master Lease

          Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, Subtenant hereby covenants and agrees (a) to
perform and observe all of the agreements, covenants, terms, conditions and provisions of the
Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises (and the Building and common areas, to the
extent applicable) to the extent that the same are not modified or amended by this Sublease, (b) to
recognize and to accept all of Sublandlord’s rights and remedies with respect to the Subleased
Premises and the Building as set forth in the Master Lease and the limitations of Sublandlord’s
obligations with respect thereto as set forth in Section 2.2 above, (c) that it shall not
do or suffer or permit anything to be done which would constitute a default under the Master Lease
with respect to the Subleased Premises (and the Building and common areas, to

3

 

the extent applicable) (including, without limitation, any act or omission which with the passage
of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under the Master Lease), and
(d) that notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease to the contrary, any act or omission
which would constitute a default under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises
(including, without limitation, any act or omission which with the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute a default under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased
Premises) shall constitute a default hereunder.

     2.4 HVAC

          If Subtenant desires to utilize HVAC outside of the standard HVAC hours described in the
Master Lease, Subtenant shall notify Landlord directly of such request in accordance with the terms
and provisions of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall pay for such after-hours HVAC service at the
rate that Landlord charges for such service in accordance with the Master Lease. Sublandlord will
endeavor to establish a direct billing relationship between Landlord and Subtenant with respect to
after-hours HVAC services. If Master Landlord bills Subtenant directly for such after-hours HVAC,
Subtenant shall pay such bill to Master Landlord in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Master Lease. As a matter of information, Building HVAC hours are currently 8:00 am through 8:00
pm, Monday — Friday; however, the foregoing hours are not being guaranteed by Sublandlord.

     2.5 ELECTRICAL

          Electricity shall be provided to the Subleased Premises by way of direct meter, the cost of
which shall be borne by Subtenant. Section 10.2 of the Master Lease covers the provision of
electricity and Subtenant shall pay all of such charges directly to the Electricity Provider (as
defined in the Master Lease).

3. TERM

     3.1 Initial Term

          The term of this Sublease (the “Term”) shall commence on April 15, 2010 (the “Commencement
Date”) upon delivery to Subtenant of the Subleased Premises no later than such date, vacant,
broom-clean, and free of tenancies or occupancies, in accordance with the requirements of Section 7
and subject to the requirements of Section 5. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall confirm the
Commencement Date and Base Rent dates under Section 4.3(a) in writing upon Sublandlord’s delivery
of the Subleased Premises in accordance with this Section 3 (“Commencement Date Notice”). Except as
specifically provided in this Sublease, there are no conditions to Subtenant’s obligation to accept
the Premises in their “AS IS” condition on the Commencement Date. The Term shall expire as to the
entirety of the Subleased Premises at 5:00 p.m. on March 31, 2019, unless sooner terminated under
Article 13.

     3.2 Renewal Option

          Upon written notice to Sublandlord delivered on or before March 31, 2018 (but no earlier
than January 1, 2018) (“Sublease Extension Notice”), Subtenant shall have

4

 

the right to extend the Term through the remainder of the Master Lease term. The foregoing
option, however, shall be subordinate to Sublandlord’s right to recapture the Subleased premises
(“Sublandlord’s Recapture”) for its own use or interest, which use or interest shall include,
without limitation, occupancy by Sublandlord or early termination of the Master Lease with respect
to the Subleased Premises. Within 60 days following receipt of the Sublease Extension Notice,
Sublandlord shall advise Subtenant in writing of its exercise or waiver of Sublandlord’s Recapture,
which Recapture would be effective on April 1, 2019. Sublandlord’s failure to give such notice
shall be deemed Sublandlord’s exercise of Sublandlord’s Recapture. If Sublandlord’s Recapture is
waived, then the rent for the renewal term shall be determined in accordance with Sections 33.2
(a-c), 33.3 and 33.4 of the Master Lease. In order to exercise the foregoing option, Subtenant must
satisfy the conditions in Section 33.1(b)(i) and (ii) of the Master Lease.

below.

          (b) “Base Rent” shall mean the sums payable pursuant to Section 4.3 below.

          (c) “Rent” shall mean, collectively, Base Rent, Additional Rent and Other
charges.

     4.2 Rent Payments

               Subject to the rent abatement provided in Section 4.6 below,
commencing on the Commencement Date, Base Rent shall be payable to Sublandlord in advance in equal
monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Term without any offset or
deduction whatsoever, unless otherwise expressly provided in this Sublease. All Rent shall be
payable in lawful money of the United States, by regular bank check of Subtenant or by automatic
deposit, to Sublandlord at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other
places as Sublandlord may designate in writing. Base Rent for the first and last calendar months
for which Rent is payable hereunder, if less than a full month, shall be prorated on the basis of
the actual number of days in the month.

     4.3 Base Rent

          (a) Base Rent for the Subleased Premises shall be as set forth below
(collectively, “Base Rent”):

5

 

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Months	 	Base Rent/RSF/YR	 	Base Rent/Month
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Commencement
Date - 1/31/2015
	 	$	58	 	 	$	132,858.67	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	2/1/2015 - 3/31/2019
	 	$	63	 	 	$	144,312.00	 

The specific dates shall be specified in the Commencement Date Notice delivered under Section
3 hereof.

          (b) For purposes of the calculation of Additional Rent described in Section 4.4 below and
with reference to Article 7 of the Master Lease and the Third Amendment to the Master
Lease, “[Sub]Tenant’s Share of Taxes and [Sub]Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses” on the
Subleased Premises shall be 2.19% and 2.28% respectively. The foregoing percentages have been
calculated by Landlord comparing the Subleased Premises to the Building as a whole.

     4.4 Additional Rent

          Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Additional Rent its share (as set forth in Section
Section 4.3(b) above) of the amount by which (i) amounts payable by Sublandlord to
Landlord pursuant to Article 7 of the Master Lease in respect of Taxes and Operating Expenses,
exceed (ii) applicable amounts for each such category payable by Sublandlord to Landlord under
Article 7 of the Master Lease for the calendar year ending December 31, 2010, with such payments to
commence January 1, 2011. Subtenant understands that the term “Taxes” includes “Payment in Lieu of
Taxes” known as “PILOT.” Subtenant shall also pay (x) the share of BID Taxes applicable to the
Subleased Premises and (y) any Theater Surcharge or Percentage Rent as applicable to the
26th floor under the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall invoice Subtenant periodically for
such Additional Rent, which invoices will be based upon Landlord’s calculation or estimate of such
charges in the applicable year (EXCEPT AS SET FORTH BELOW), and Subtenant shall pay such Additional
Rent to Sublandlord within 30 days after Subtenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor. Such
Additional Rent, together with any and all other amounts payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord
pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Additional Rent.”
Additional Rent charges shall also be subject to annual reconciliation as determined by Landlord
under the Master Lease, and Subtenant understands that such Reconciliation for the final year of
the Sublease may not be available until after the expiration of the Term. Subtenant shall promptly
pay to Sublandlord any underpayment identified by the post-Term Reconciliation and Sublandlord
shall promptly refund to Subtenant any overpayment identified by the post-Term Reconciliation, even
if the applicable Reconciliation occurs after the expiration of the Term. The foregoing obligation
shall survive the termination of this Sublease. It is the intent of the parties with respect to
Additional Rent, that Sublandlord shall not profit from the pass through, but shall rather
reconcile all pass throughs on an annual basis based on the Reconciliation which Sublandlord is
provided by Landlord under the Master Lease. Upon written request from Subtenant from time to time,
Sublandlord shall provide any applicable documentation delivered by Landlord to Sublandlord, which
evidences such Additional Rent.

6

 

     4.5 Other Charges

          If, pursuant to any provisions of the Master Lease or this Sublease, any payments for any
other rent under the Master Lease or for services or other charges allocable in whole or in part to
the Subleased Premises shall be payable because of services ordered by Subtenant, activities
undertaken by or on behalf of Subtenant, Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises or
Subtenant’s default under the Master Lease or hereunder, then Subtenant shall promptly pay to
Sublandlord or Landlord, as appropriate, all such payments or other charges within 30 days of
Subtenant’s receipt of an invoice therefore. All such charges described in this Section 4.5
shall be considered “Rent” hereunder until paid to Landlord
or Sublandlord, as the case may be.

     4.6 Rent Abatement

          So long as Subtenant is not in default hereunder following applicable notice, cure and/or
grace periods, Sublandlord shall abate the Base Rent for the month of June in each of the years
2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014, equal to an aggregate five month period.

     4.7 Limited Audit Right

          Subtenant shall have no audit rights with respect to any Additional Rent or Other Charges
assessed in this Sublease, except as necessary to confirm that Landlord’s annual reconciliation
matches what Subtenant actually paid under this Section 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant in pursuing reasonable limited inquiries of Landlord and
negotiating in good faith to resolve any disputed items.

5. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

          The effectiveness of this Sublease and each party’s obligations hereunder are subject to the
consent of Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease, and Landlord’s delivery of the Non-Disturbance
Agreement provided for in Section 14.12 of the Master Lease. The provisions of this section are
intended to be an express provision to the contrary within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New
York Real Property Law or any successor legal requirement. Landlord’s consent to this Sublease is
an express condition to Sublandlord’ s obligation to deliver the Subleased Premises to Subtenant,
and Sublandlord agrees to use its good faith diligent efforts to obtain such consent from Landlord.

6. USE

          The Subleased Premises may be used for the general offices purposes permitted under the Master
Lease.

7. CONDITION OF AND IMPROVEMENTS TO SUBLEASED PREMISES

     7.1 Condition

          Except as provided in this Section 7, Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises
to Subtenant in an “AS IS/WHERE IS” condition. Subtenant agrees to accept

7

 

possession of the Subleased Premises in its existing condition, without any obligation on the part
of Sublandlord to make any alterations, decorations, installations or improvements not specifically
described in this Section 7. Sublandlord represents that it has not used or disposed of any
“hazardous materials” (as such term is defined under federal laws) in the Subleased Premises except
in accordance with applicable law.

     7.2 Subtenant Improvements

          The design and construction of all alterations and improvements in the Subleased Premises made
by Subtenant on or after the Commencement Date shall be undertaken in compliance with Article 4 of
the Master Lease, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense. Subtenant shall not make any alterations or
improvements to the Subleased Premises on or after the Commencement Date without the prior written
consent of Landlord and Sublandlord, which consent (subject to the additional limitations below)
shall be given or denied in accordance with the Master Lease; provided that Subtenant shall have an
“Alteration Threshold” of $50,000 (as such term is defined in Section 4.1 of the Master Lease)
where consent is not required as long as the alterations or improvements are not “Material
Alterations”; and provided further that any alteration or improvement and the installation thereof
by Subtenant shall comply with all applicable laws and all other applicable terms, conditions and
provisions of the Master Lease. No demising of the Subleased Premises shall be permitted which
requires a separate entrance or which prevents floor wide circulation, nor shall Subtenant alter or
further improve the Subleased Premises in any way that changes the perimeter office configuration
or which relocates or removes any interior walls unless approved by Sublandlord in Subtenant’s
initial improvement plan (“Initial Improvement Plan”). The Initial Improvement Plan is attached
hereto as Exhibit H and is approved by Sublandlord. Sublandlord understands that Subtenant’s recent
corporate acquisition program has necessitated some adjustments to the interior and perimeter
office configuration, and Sublandlord agrees to review changes or subsequent additional detail to
the Initial Improvement Plan with due regard for such requirements and not to unreasonably
withhold, condition or delay its consent to such proposed changes or to the final Initial
Improvement Plan as a whole. Subtenant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel reasonably
acceptable to Sublandlord), and hold Sublandlord harmless from all liability, costs and expenses
arising from the design and construction of any such Subtenant alterations and improvements
installed on or after the Commencement Date, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.
If required under Section 12 below, Subtenant shall remove such alterations and
improvements and restore the Subleased Premises upon the expiration or termination of this
Sublease.

     7.3 Code Work Requirement

          Except for Sublandlord’s Improvements in Section 7.5, if Subtenant’s
construction of alterations or improvements in the Subleased Premises triggers a requirement for
code related upgrades to or improvements of the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord and Subtenant agree
that Subtenant shall be responsible for the additional cost of such code required upgrade or
improvements to the Subleased Premises.

     7.4 Furniture

8

 

          On the Commencement Date, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with the use of any existing
furniture in the Subleased Premises at no additional cost. Subtenant shall use such furniture in
the ordinary course of business. At the conclusion of the Term, Subtenant shall leave behind all of
such furniture in the Subleased Premises, reasonable wear and tear excepted given the age of the
furniture at that time. Subtenant shall repair and maintain such furniture during the Term in
accordance with reasonable commercial practices. At no time shall any of the furniture be removed
from the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall create an itemized list of such
furniture which shall be appended to this Sublease as Exhibit D.

     7.5 Sublandlord Improvements

          Sublandlord at its cost (not to exceed $100,000) shall contstruct a reception area in
accordance with the plan and specifications attached as Exhibit E hereto. Subtenant shall be
responsible for furnishing, wiring and otherwise improving the reception area at its cost.

     7.6 Subtenant Allowance

          Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with an improvement allowance of $274,880 for
reimbursement of Subtenant’s actual construction costs in the Subleased Premises (the “SIA”) in
connection with the Initial Improvement Plan. The SIA shall also be usable for furniture, equipment
or any soft costs to the extent Subtenant’s aggregate hard construction cost expenditures are less
than the SIA. The SIA shall be paid by Sublandlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of a request
for reimbursement accompanied by reasonable documentary evidence of the improvements, Subtenant’s
previous payment in full of the costs, lien free completion, lien releases (if applicable) and any
other materials reasonably required by Sublandlord. In no event shall the SIA be payable (i) if
there is a then existing default (until such default is cured to the reasonable satisfaction of
Sublandlord within the applicable notice, cure, and/or grace periods) or (ii) prior to the later of
Subtenant’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises or the completion of Subtenant’s improvements, if
any. If Sublandlord fails to pay the SIA to Subtenant in accordance with this Section 7.6,
Subtenant may offset the deficiency against its Base Rent payment.

9

 

8. INSURANCE

     8.1 Subtenant’s Insurance

          During the Term, Subtenant shall maintain comprehensive general liability insurance, physical
damage insurance, comprehensive automobile insurance, builders all risk insurance, and all other
insurance Landlord and Sublandlord may reasonably require, all in accordance with the terms,
conditions and provisions of the Master Lease. Said initial requirements are set forth in Exhibit
F. Subtenant shall name Sublandlord (and such other entities as are required by Landlord) as an
additional insured on each such insurance policy and shall provide Sublandlord with certificates of
insurance certifying said coverage prior to taking possession of the Subleased Premises.

     8.2 Waiver of Claims; Waiver of Subrogation

          Whether the loss or damage is due to the negligence of either Sublandlord or Subtenant, their
agents or employees, or any other cause, Sublandlord and Subtenant do each hereby release and
relieve the other, their agents, and their employees from responsibility for, and waive their
entire claim of recovery for, any loss or damage to the real or personal property of either located
anywhere in the Building, to the extent that such loss or damage arises out of or is incident to
the occurrence of any of the perils which are part of the required insurance coverage under the
Master Lease in effect at such time under a then existing insurance policy. Each party shall use
best efforts to cause its insurance carriers to consent to the foregoing waiver of rights of
subrogation against the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such release shall be
effective unless the aforesaid insurance policy or policies shall expressly permit such a release
or contain a waiver of the carrier’s right to be subrogated. In the event that any insurance
carrier denies its consent to the foregoing waiver of rights of subrogation, the affected party
shall promptly advise the other party hereto.

9. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

          In the case of damage to or destruction of the Subleased Premises or other portions of the
Building, the provisions of the Master Lease shall control, so that if the Master Lease is
terminated as to the Subleased Premises, this Sublease shall also concurrently terminate, and if
rent is abated under the Master Lease as to the Subleased Premises, it shall be similarly abated as
to the same area for the same period of time under this Sublease, and Subtenant shall discharge all
liabilities or obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease as to the Subleased Premises.

10. SECURITY DEPOSIT

     10.1 Initial Security Deposit

          Concurrently with Subtenant’s execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deposit with
Sublandlord a letter of credit in the amount of $1,062,869.33 (the “Security Deposit”). The letter
of credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Sublandlord in its reasonable discretion. If
such letter of credit is issued for less than the entire Term, it shall be for a term of no less
than one year and shall be renewed at least 60 days prior to its expiration. In the final

10

 

year of the Term, such letter of credit shall be renewed for a period through two months beyond the
Lease Termination Date. The Security Deposit shall secure the full and complete performance of each
provision of this Sublease to be performed by Subtenant, including, but not limited to, the payment
of Rent and all other sums required to be paid by Subtenant under this Sublease. Except as required
in this Section, Sublandlord shall not be required to pay interest on the Security Deposit or to
keep the Security Deposit separate from Sublandlord’s own funds. If Subtenant fails to perform any
or all of Subtenant’s covenants and obligations and has not cured such non-performance within all
applicable notice, cure and or grace periods under this Sublease, Sublandlord may, but without
obligation to do so, draw on any letter of credit to the extent required for the payment of such
non-performance only, and otherwise retain or apply all or any portion of the Security Deposit
toward the fulfillment of Subtenant’s unperformed covenants and/or obligations. If Sublandlord does
so retain or apply any portion of the Security Deposit, Subtenant shall immediately pay Sublandlord
cash sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to the amount prior to such application. Upon the
expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease, after Subtenant vacates and surrenders the
Subleased Premises in accordance with the terms hereof, except to the extent that Subtenant is in
default (and then only to the extent of such default), Sublandlord shall return to Subtenant any
balance of the Security Deposit not applied or retained by Sublandlord and any letter of credit,
and if Subtenant remains in default, then Sublandlord may draw on any letter of credit and
otherwise subtract the amount necessary to cure the default, if any, and return the balance (and
the letter of credit, if applicable) to Subtenant. If the Security Deposit at any time is cash, it
shall be maintained in an interest bearing account and Subtenant shall be entitled to all interest
earned thereon less the deduction for administrative expenses permitted pursuant to Section 7-103
of the General Obligations Law. In the event of an assignment by Sublandlord of its interest in the
Master Lease, Sublandlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to the assignee,
and Sublandlord shall thereupon be released for the return of the Security Deposit.

     10.2 Reduction

          As long as Subtenant is not in default hereunder, the Security Deposit shall be reduced in
accordance with the following schedule:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 

	Commencement Date

	 	-
	 	September 30, 2012
	 	=
	 	$	1,062,869.33	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	October 1, 2012

	 	-
	 	September 30, 2014
	 	=
	 	$	797,152.00	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	October 1, 2014

	 	-
	 	March 31, 2019
	 	=
	 	$	531,434.69	 

Sublandlord, however, must specifically confirm in writing that the scheduled reduction is valid
prior to the actual reduction (i.e., that there is no default or conditions existing which could
lead to a default).

11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     11.1 Restrictions

          Except in strict accordance with the Assignment and Subletting terms of the Master Lease
or the Consent, Subtenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate,

11

 

encumber, or permit any lien to attach to, or otherwise transfer, this Sublease or any interest
hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Sublease or any interest
hereunder by operation of law, sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use
of the Subleased Premises by any persons other than Subtenant, its employees and invitees. Any such
assignment or sublease shall be subject to the consent of Landlord and Sublandlord under the
standards established in the Master Lease. No partial floor subleases shall be permitted and
Subtenant understands and agrees that only one full floor sublease to an assignee or subtenant
shall be permitted.

          Subtenant is specifically referred to a restriction in Section 14.1 of the Master Lease as
follows: “In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further
sublet all or any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit the sublet space or
any part thereof to be used or occupied by others; provided, however, any immediate
direct permitted subtenant of Tenant subleasing at least one (1) full floor of the Premises
(excluding the Lower Floor Space) (an “Authorized Subtenant”) may sublease all of its
sublet space to an undertenant in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this
Article 14, including, without limitation, Landlord’s rights of recapture and underlet in
Section 14.3(b)(2) and (3) with respect to the further subletting, except, for the purposes
of calculating Landlord’s share of net profits under Section 14.7, Landlord’s share shall
be equal to fifty percent (50%) of rents, additional charges or other consideration payable to or
for the benefit of the Authorized Subtenant under or by reason of the further sublease which is in
excess of the rents payable by such Authorized Subtenant to Tenant during the term of the further
sublease and shall otherwise be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section
14.7. Any assignment, sublease, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, underlet, license or transfer in
contravention of the provisions of this Article 14 shall be void and shall constitute a
default hereunder.”

     11.2 Permitted Transfers

          Following reasonable advance written notice and documentation delivered to Sublandlord, or if
by the terms of the transaction or requirement of applicable law, the applicable instrument of
assignment or sub-sublease is not permitted to be disclosed in advance, within ten (10) days after
the effective date, the transfers permitted by Sections 7(b), (c), and (d) of the Consent to
Sublease, shall not require Sublandlord’s consent, and such transfers shall not be subject to
Sublandlord’s recapture or profit sharing rights, provided that (i) Subtenant obtains any required
consents from Landlord, (ii) there is no impairment to the Security Deposit, and (iii) such
assignee or subtenant is financially capable of meeting the remaining Sublease obligations.
Sections 14.9(a) (“New Entity Transactions”) and 14.9(b) (“Space Occupants”) are expressly not
applicable to this Sublease.

     11.3 Profits

          After payment to the Landlord of its share of net profits referred to in Section 11.1 above,
any remaining net profits shall be shared equally between Sublandlord and Subtenant, with the
method of calculation as set forth in Article 14 of the Master Lease. Sublandlord’s calculation
shall be derived from Landlord’s calculation, the details of which shall be provided to Subtenant.

12

 

12. NO HOLDOVERS; SURRENDER OF SUBLEASED PREMISES

     12.1 Holdover

               Upon expiration of the term of this Sublease, whether by lapse of
time or otherwise, Subtenant shall promptly and peacefully surrender the Subleased Premises to
Sublandlord in the condition required under the Master Lease. Subtenant agrees that time shall be
of the essence with respect to Subtenant’s obligation to surrender possession of the Subleased
Premises to Sublandlord upon the termination of the Term, and further agrees that in the event
Subtenant does not promptly surrender possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord upon such
termination, Sublandlord, in addition to any other rights and remedies Sublandlord may have against
Subtenant for such holding over, the Base Rent shall increased to 150% of the Base Rent specified
for the final month in Section 4.3. Sublandlord shall be entitled to bring summary
proceedings against Subtenant, and Subtenant agrees to reimburse Sublandlord for all Sublandlord’s
damages sustained by reason of such holding over.

     12.2 Restoration

The Subleased Premises shall be surrendered by Subtenant upon the expiration or earlier termination
of the Term in the condition required by the Master Lease and Section 7.2 hereof; provided that
Subtenant shall not be responsible for any such removal or restoration with respect to physical
improvements in existence prior to the Commencement Date. In addition, Sublandlord shall not
require the removal or restoration of anything in the Initial Improvement Plan (or any subsequent
changes or modifications thereto) unless such removal or restoration is required by Landlord
pursuant to the specific terms of the Master Lease (unless Landlord has waived any such removal or
restoration rights in connection with its prior approval of such Initial Improvement Plan, or any
subsequent changes of modifications thereto), or is specifically noted in connection with
Sublandlord’s approval of the Initial Improvement Plan (or any subsequent changes or modifications
thereto).

13. DEFAULT

     13.1 Events of Default

          The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default under this Sublease by
Subtenant:

          (i) Any failure by Subtenant to pay any Rent or any other charge required to be
paid pursuant to this Sublease, or any part thereof, within five (5) business days of
receipt of written notice that the same is overdue; or

          (ii) Any holdover under Article 12; or

          (iii) Any failure by Subtenant to observe or perform any other provision, covenant
or condition of this Sublease or the Master Lease to be observed or performed by Subtenant
with such notice and cure periods as are provided for in the

13

 

Master Lease; or if the failure relates to a terra unique to this Sublease, then where such
failure continues for thirty (30) calendar days after written notice thereof from either
Sublandlord or Landlord to Subtenant;

          (iv) Any act or omission of Subtenant which constitutes a default under the Master
Lease subject to the notice and cure periods provided thereunder.

     13.2 Remedies Upon Default

          Upon the occurrence of any default by Subtenant, Sublandlord shall have the remedies
available to Sublandlord under this Sublease, in the Master Lease, or at law or in equity.

     13.3 [intentionally deleted]

     13.4 Waiver of Default

          No waiver by Sublandlord or Subtenant of any violation or breach of any of the terms,
provisions and covenants herein contained shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of
any other or later violation or breach of the same or any other of the terms, provisions, and
covenants herein contained. Forbearance by Sublandlord in enforcement of one or more of the
remedies herein provided upon a default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of
such default. The acceptance of any Rent hereunder by Sublandlord following the occurrence of any
default, whether or not known to Sublandlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any such default,
except only a default in the payment of the Rent so accepted.

14. INDEMNITY; LIMITATION OF DAMAGES

     14.1 Subtenant’s Indemnity

          Subtenant shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord),
and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and
liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, which
Sublandlord may incur or pay out (including, without limitation, to Landlord) by reason of
(i) any accidents, damages or injuries to persons or property occurring by reason
of or directly related to Subtenant’s (or Subtenant’s officers’, partners’, employees’, agents’,
and/or invitees’) use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises, and occurring in, on or about the
Subleased Premises or the Building (unless the same shall have been caused by Sublandlord’s
negligence or wrongful act), (ii) any breach or default hereunder or under the Master Lease on
Subtenant’s part, (iii) any improvement or remodeling work done by Subtenant after the date hereof
in or to the Subleased Premises, or (iv) any act, omission or negligence on the part of Subtenant
and/or its officers, partners, employees, agents, and/or invitees, or any person claiming through
or under Subtenant in the use or operation of the Subleased Premises.

14

 

     14.2
Sublandlord’s Indemnity

          Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend (with legal counsel selected by Subtenant), and hold
harmless Subtenant from and against all losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, which Subtenant may
incur or pay out (including, without limitation, to Landlord) by reason of (i) any breach or
default hereunder or under the Master Lease on Sublandlord’s part or (ii) any act, omission or
negligence on the part of Sublandlord and/or its officers, partners, employees, agents, and/or
invitees, or any person claiming through or under Sublandlord in the use or operation of the
Subleased Permises.

     14.3 No Consequential or Punitive Damages; Survival

          Neither Sublandlord nor Subtenant shall be liable for any consequential or punitive damages
suffered by the other party hereto outside of the framework of the Master Lease. The provisions of
this Section 14 shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Sublease.

     14.4 Waiver of Subrogation

          The indemnities under Sections 14.1 and 14.2 are expressly limited by the terms of the Mutual
Waiver of Subrogation set forth in Article 11.6 of the Master Lease.

15. MODIFICATION OF MASTER LEASE

          Sublandlord shall have the right to modify the Master Lease in any manner without notice to or
consent from Subtenant; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as Subtenant is not in
default under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall not modify the Master Lease in any manner that would
change Sublandlord’s obligations or Subtenant’s rights in this Sublease, including without
limitation Subtenant’s right to occupy the Subleased Premises in accordance with the terms of this
Sublease, monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent, the term of this Sublease, or any other term material
to Subtenant’s ongoing operations at the Premises.

16. NOTICES UNDER MASTER LEASE

     Subtenant and Sublandlord each agree to forward to the other, promptly upon receipt thereof,
copies of all notices received by the other, with respect to the Subleased Premises from Landlord
or from any governmental agency. Each party further agrees to forward to the other, for
informational purposes only, promptly upon delivery thereof, copies of all notices such party
provides to Landlord with respect to the Subleased Premises.

15

 

17. PERFORMANCE BY SUBLANDLORD FOR SUBTENANT

          If Subtenant shall default, beyond the lapse of applicable notice and grace periods, in
performance of any of its obligations hereunder or under the Master Lease, Sublandlord at its
option may perform such obligations and, if necessary, enter the Subleased Premises for such
purpose. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, within twenty (20) days of demand, the amount of all
costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Sublandlord in the performance of any such obligations.
Any action taken by Sublandlord pursuant to this Section 17 shall not constitute a waiver
of any of Sublandlord’s other rights and remedies hereunder.

18. ATTORNMENT

          Subject to the terms and conditions of any Nondisturbance Agreement with Landlord which may be
obtained for Subtenant’s benefit as permitted under the Master Lease, if (a) the Master Lease
should be terminated prior to the expiration date of this Sublease or (b) Landlord should succeed
to Sublandlord’s estate in the Subleased Premises, then, at Landlord’s election, or, at the joint
election of Sublandlord and Landlord, Subtenant shall attorn to and recognize Landlord as
Sublandlord under this Sublease and Subtenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument to
Landlord which Landlord may require to reasonably evidence such attornment, whereupon Sublandlord
shall be released from any and all obligations and liability thereafter arising provided that
Landlord assumes all such obligations.

19. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

          Subtenant shall not do anything or suffer anything to be done in or about the Subleased
Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or other governmental
rule, regulation or requirement now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated.

20. LATE CHARGES

          In addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies for non-payment of Rent, any
payment of Rent not received within ten (10) business days after the date it is due (for example,
with respect to Base Rent, the due date is the first of the month without the requirement of
further notice) shall automatically be subject to a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the
amount owing plus reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Sublandlord by reason of Subtenant’s
failure to pay Rent when due hereunder. Such late charge is a service charge intended to compensate
Sublandlord for the additional administrative and other costs and expenses it incurs by reason of
such late payment. Subtenant hereby agrees that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable
estimate of the costs that Sublandlord will incur by reason of the late payment of Rent by
Subtenant. In addition to such late charge, any Rent owing hereunder which is not paid within
thirty (30) days after the date it is due (including any grace periods hereunder or under the
Master Lease) shall bear interest from the due date until paid at a rate equal to the lesser of ten
percent (10%) per annum and the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Sublandlord shall not
assess any charges under this Section 20 with respect to the first late payment in any given
calendar year; provided that if Subtenant thereafter still fails to pay either (i) such first
amount within ten (10) days after subsequent written notice from Sublandlord thereof or (ii) any

16

 

subsequent amounts owed as required under this Sublease, then in either event, the charges may be
assessed.

21. BROKERS

          Sublandlord and Subtenant each represents and warrants to the other that no broker or finder
has been consulted or engaged with regard to this Sublease or the subleasing by Sublandlord of the
Subleased Premises except for PBS Realty Advisors LLC and Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc.,
(collectively, the “Brokers”) and that no commissions shall be due and owing as a result of this
Sublease except for commissions payable to the Brokers. Sublandlord shall pay all commissions owing
to the Brokers in respect of this Sublease pursuant to a separate agreement. Sublandlord agrees to
indemnify, defend and save Subtenant harmless from and against any and all claims, fees or
commissions from anyone else with whom it has dealt in connection with the Subleased Premises or
this Sublease, including the Brokers. Subtenant agrees to indemnify, defend and Sublandlord
harmless from and against any and all claims, fees or commissions from anyone with whom it has
dealt in connection with the Subleased Premises or this Sublease other than the Brokers.

22. BUILDING DIRECTORY; SIGNAGE

          Subtenant shall be obligated for all costs, if any, associated with directory signage in the
lobby of the Building and shall work directly with Building management to pursue such signage as
permitted in the Master Lease.

23. NOTICES

          Any notice, approval, consent or election made pursuant to this Sublease or the Master Lease
shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly delivered upon receipt if delivered personally or if
mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by a reputable nationally
recognized overnight carrier, addressed:

24. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

          All prior understandings and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter
hereof are merged within this Sublease and the Master Lease. The covenants and agreements herein
contained shall bind and inure to the benefit of Sublandlord, Subtenant, and their respective
successors and permitted assigns.

25. TIME OF ESSENCE

          Time is of the essence of this Sublease and each of its provisions.

26. AMENDMENT

          This Sublease may not be changed or amended orally or in any manner other than by written
agreement signed by the parties.

27. ATTORNEYS’ FEES

          If either party commences any action to enforce any provision of this Sublease or protect its
interest in or to the Subleased Premises, the prevailing party shall be entitled to costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in such proceeding and on any appeals
therefrom.

28. PARTIAL INVALIDITY

          If any provision of this Sublease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance
shall to any extent be invalid, the remainder of this Sublease or the application of such provision
to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid shall

18

 

not be affected thereby and each provision of this Sublease shall be valid and enforced to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

29. CHOICE OF LAW

          This Sublease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York.

30. INTERPRETATION

          The table of contents, captions, headings and titles, if any, in this Sublease are solely for
convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation. This Sublease shall be construed
without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing
this Sublease or any part thereof to be drafted. All terms and words used in this Sublease,
regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other
number and any other gender as the context may require. The word “person” as used in this Sublease
shall mean a natural person or persons, a partnership, a corporation or any other form of business
or legal association or entity.

31. COUNTERPARTS

          This Sublease may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall constitute an
original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Sublease
shall be fully executed when each party whose signature is required has signed and delivered to
each of the parties at least one counterpart, even though no single counterpart contains the
signatures of all parties hereto.

32. AUTHORITY

          Subtenant and Sublandlord each represents and warrants to the other that it has all requisite
power and authority (whether corporate, partnership or otherwise) to enter into this Sublease.

33. EFFECTIVENESS

          This Sublease shall be effective only when executed and delivered by Sublandlord and Subtenant
and the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5 above have been satisfied or waived as
provided therein.

34. EXPANSION SPACE

          Anytime Sublandlord intends to sublease all or a portion of its 27th floor premises
(“Offer Premises”), Sublandlord shall give Subtenant written notice of such interest at least
fifteen (15) days prior to any formal or informal listing with outside brokers. The notice shall
take the form of Exhibit G hereto (“Offer Premises Notice”) including the proposed term and rent on
which Sublandlord intends to market the space. If Subtenant desires to add such Offer Premises to
this Sublease, Subtenant shall accept such notice within fifteen (15) days thereafter by marking
and returning the Offer Premises Notice to Sublandlord. Subtenant’s failure to

19

 

exercise the rights in the manner prescribed herein shall be deemed Subtenant’s waiver and decision
to decline the exercise. Subtenant must accept all or none of the proffered Offer Premises on the
terms set forth therein or designate such economic and other material terms on which it would
accept the Offer Premises. Subtenant understands that the 27th floor is currently being
marketed by Sublandlord and thus Subtenant’s expansion rights under this Section 34 shall only
arise following the first generation of third party subleases that may be signed for such floor. If
the Offer Space terms are accepted, and any rights of Landlord with respect to the Offer Space are
waived, then Subtenant and Sublandlord shall promptly execute an Amendment to this Sublease.
