NEORX CORPORATION

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT UNDER

2004 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

 

THIS AGREEMENT is made between NeoRx Corporation (“NeoRx”) and «Name».  Capitalized terms not explicity defined in
this Agreement but defined in the NeoRx Corporation 2004 Incentive Compensation
Plan (the “Plan”) shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

 

Grant Date.  The
effective date of this Agreement is «Date» (the “Grant Date”).

 

Grant.  The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors hereby grants to you an Option
to purchase «Shares» shares
(the “Shares”) of NeoRx Common Stock at the Option price of $«Price» per share (“Option”)
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Plan.

 

Incentive Stock
Option.  This
Option is intended to be an “incentive stock option” as that term is used under
Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Any portion of this Option which exceeds the
limits contained in Internal Revenue Code Section 422 or would otherwise
not qualify as an incentive stock option under that Section will be treated as
a nonqualified stock option.

 

Term.  The term of the Option is ten
years from the Grant Date, unless sooner terminated.

 

Exercise.  During your lifetime only you can
exercise the Option.  The Plan provides
for exercise of the Option by the personal representative of your estate or the
beneficiary thereof following your death.

 

Termination of
Option.  The
unvested portion of the Option will terminate automatically upon termination of
your employment or other service relationship with NeoRx or a related
corporation for any reason.  The vested
portion of the Option will remain exercisable after termination of your
employment or other service relationship with NeoRx or a related corporation
until the earliest of:

 

(a)                                  three months after
termination for any reason other than for Cause, Retirement or by reason of
Total Disability or death;

 

(b)                                 one year after
termination by reason of Retirement, Total Disability or death;

 

(c)                                  immediately upon termination for Cause;
and

 

(d)                                 the tenth anniversary of
the Grant Date.

 

If you die while the Option is still exercisable, the
Option will remain exercisable until the earlier of (i) the tenth
anniversary of the Grant Date and (ii) one year from the date of death.

 

It is your responsibility to be aware
of the date on which the Option terminates and is no longer exercisable.

 

Transferability
of Option.  The
Option is not transferable except by will or by the applicable laws of descent
and distribution.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit you
to assign or transfer an Award; provided, however, that the Option shall
continue to be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Plan and this
Agreement.

 

Vesting and
Exercisability.  [Alt. 1:  For new hire
Employee ISO grants:  The
Option will vest and become exercisable at the rate of 25% one year after the
Grant Date and thereafter in equal monthly amounts over the next three years.]  [Alt. 2:  For post-hire
ISO grant to Employees, e.g., company-wide employee stock grants, promotions:  The Option will vest and become exercisable
at the rate of 1/48th per month with the first monthly portion vesting on                               .]

Terms of
Payment.  The
Option price must be paid in full at the time of exercise in cash or by check
acceptable to the Compensation Committee or to the extent permitted by the
Compensation Committee, in NeoRx Common Stock (which generally must have been
held for at least six months), delivery of an exercise notice, together with
irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver to NeoRx the amount of proceeds
necessary to pay the exercise price, or any other form of consideration
permitted by  the Compensation Committee,
or a combination thereof, as the Compensation Committee may determine.  Common Stock delivered as full or partial
payment upon exercise will be valued at the fair market value of the Common Stock.  In addition, you must pay or otherwise make
provision for any applicable tax withholding amounts that may become due on
exercise before NeoRx will be obligated to issue any Shares to you.

 

Dividend, Stock
Split, Combination or Reclassification.  If, from time to time, during the term of this
Agreement, there is any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, or
reclassification of the outstanding Common Stock, then any and all new,
substituted or additional shares to which you are entitled by reason of this
Agreement will be included in the word “Shares” for all purposes of this
Agreement with the same force and effect as the Shares presently subject to
this Agreement and there will be a corresponding adjustment to the price for
each Share.

Premises, Term, Purposes and Rent

 

Section 1.01           Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant,
and Tenant does hereby lease from Landlord, subject to any ground and/or
underlying leases and/or mortgages as herein provided, and upon and subject to
the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, for
the term herein stated, the entire 16th floor substantially as shown on the
rental plan annexed hereto as Exhibit A, in the building known as and located
at 1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York (Building).  Said leased premises, together with all
Appurtenances, as herein defined, (except Tenant’s Property, herein defined)
are herein called the “Premises”.  The
plot of land on which the Building is located is herein called the “Land”.

 

Section 1.02           The term of this Lease shall commence
on the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant with
Landlord’s Work (as hereinafter defined) substantially complete (subject to
Section 2.02 hereof) (Term Commencement Date) and shall end *** (***) years and
***(****) months thereafter (Expiration Date) or on such earlier date upon
which said term may expire or be terminated as herein provided or pursuant to
law.

 

*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed
separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment
has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

Section 1.03           The Premises shall be used for the
following, but no other purpose, namely: 
executive and general offices (and customary ancillary uses associated
therewith, including securities trading and related activities thereto
(provided such related activities are consistent with the character of the
Building as a first-class office building), provided the same do not otherwise
violate the Certificate of Occupancy for the Building or the remaining terms
and conditions of this Lease).

 

Section 1.04           The rent reserved under this Lease
for the term hereof shall be and consist of the following fixed rent (Fixed
Rent), namely:  $*** per annum,
commencing on the Term Commencement Date and continuing for *** (***) years and
*** (***) months thereafter; and $**** per annum through the balance of the
Lease term.  The Fixed Rent shall be
payable in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each and
every calendar month during said term, plus such additional rent and other
charges as shall become due and payable hereunder, which additional rent and
other charges shall be payable as herein provided; all to be paid to Landlord
at Post Office Box 11180, New York, NY 10286-1180, or such other place as
Landlord may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America.

 

Section 1.05           Tenant does hereby covenant and agree
promptly to pay the Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges herein
reserved as and when the same shall become due and payable, without demand
therefor, and without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, and to keep, observe
and perform, and permit no violation of, each of Tenant’s obligations
hereunder.  If the Fixed Rent shall
commence on any date other than the first day of a calendar month, the Fixed
Rent for such calendar month shall be prorated.

 

Section 1.06           The parties hereby agree that for all
purposes of this Lease the rentable area of the Premises is deemed to be 23,980
square feet.  Neither party shall make
any claim for either an increase or decrease in Fixed Rent or additional rent
based on the rentable area of the Premises or any

portion thereof being other than as set forth in the preceding
sentence.

 

Section 1.07           In the event that the Term or Rent
Commencement Date or Expiration Date is not a date certain, then each party
agrees to execute, within ten (10) days after the other makes a request
therefor, an agreement setting forth such dates, provided, however,
that either party’s failure to execute said agreement shall in no way affect
such dates or the validity of this Lease, nor shall same constitute a default
under this Lease.

 

Section 1.08           If any of the Fixed Rent or
additional rent payable under this Lease shall be or become uncollectible,
reduced or required to be refunded because of any legal requirements, Tenant
shall enter into such agreement(s) and take such other legally permissible
steps as Landlord may reasonably request to permit Landlord to collect the
maximum rents which from time to time during the continuance of such legal
requirements may be legally permissible and not in excess of the amounts
reserved therefor under this Lease.  Upon
the termination of such legal requirements, (a) the rents hereunder shall be
payable in the amounts reserved herein for the periods following such
termination and (b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, to the maximum extent legally
permissible, an amount equal to (i) the rents which would have been paid
pursuant to this Lease but for such legal requirements less (ii) the rents paid
by Tenant during the period such legal requirements were in effect.

 

Section 1.09           To the extent permitted under applicable
law, in the event any of the conditions hereinafter set forth in Sections
12.01(a), 12.01(b) or 12.01(c) of this Lease occur at any time prior to the
Term Commencement Date, then notwithstanding anything in this Lease or in any
bankruptcy or insolvency law to the contrary, this Lease shall thereupon
automatically become null and void ab  initio.

 

Section 1.10           Provided that Tenant is not then in
monetary default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period
of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements of this Lease on its
part to be performed, the Fixed Rent only shall be abated for the first ***
(***) months commencing on the Term Commencement Date.  The date immediately

Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the

following such *** (****) month period shall herein be called the “Rent
Commencement Date.”

Completion and Occupancy

 

Section 2.01           Tenant acknowledges that it has
inspected the Premises and agrees to accept possession of same in its “as-is”
physical condition on the Term Commencement Date, it being understood and
agreed that Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any alterations,
improvements or repairs to the Premises or furnish to or remove from the
Premises any alterations, improvements, fixtures, materials or any other
property whatsoever except that Landlord shall, at its sole expense *** (Landlord’s
Work) which shall be performed substantially in accordance with the demolition
plan for the 15th floor of the Building previously furnished by Landlord to
Tenant (existing ADA bathroom to remain). 
In the event that Landlord is delayed in substantially completing
Landlord’s Work and such delay was caused in any way by Tenant, then Landlord’s
Work shall be deemed substantially complete on the day it otherwise would have
been substantially completed but for Tenant-caused delays, and the Term
Commencement Date shall be deemed to be said date despite the fact that
Landlord’s Work was not substantially complete on said date.  For purposes of Sections 1.02 and 2.01, the
term “substantially complete” shall mean that only minor details of
construction, mechanical adjustment or decoration remain to be performed, which
will not prevent Tenant from performing the construction required to prepare
the Premises for Tenant’s initial occupancy. Tenant further acknowledges that
it shall not be entitled to any free rent, concessions, credits or
contributions of money from Landlord with respect to the Premises (except as
provided for in Sections 1.10 and 29.02 hereof).

 

Section 2.02           Tenant shall occupy the Premises as
soon as the same are available for occupancy. 
Landlord and Tenant agree that any failure to have the Premises
available to Tenant for its occupancy on a date certain shall in no way affect
the

has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder nor shall
the same be construed in any wise to extend the term of this Lease or impose
any liability on Landlord.  The
provisions of this Section 2.02 are intended to constitute “an express
provision to the contrary” within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York
Real Property Law and any other similar law hereafter in force.  The Fixed Rent reserved and covenanted to be
paid under this Lease shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date.  Tenant, by entering into occupancy of any
part of the Premises, shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that
Landlord, up to the time of such occupancy, had performed all of its
obligations hereunder with respect to such part and that such part was in
satisfactory condition as of the date of such occupancy unless within ten (10)
days after such date Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord specifying
the respects in which the same was not in such condition.  In the event Landlord fails to deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before May 31, 2005, unless such
failure is due to strikes or labor troubles, acts of God, or the acts or
omissions, negligence or otherwise of Tenant or its agents or employees, then
Tenant, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the one-time right to
terminate this Lease, provided Landlord receives written notice of Tenant’s
election to terminate this Lease on or before June 15, 2005 (time being of the
essence).  In the event (i) Landlord does
not receive said notice on or before June 15, 2005, or (ii) Landlord delivers
possession of the Premises to Tenant prior to receiving said notice, Tenant’s
right to terminate this Lease shall lapse and be of no further force and
effect.  Upon such termination, neither
party shall have any liability to the other under this Lease.  In the event Landlord fails to deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before December 31, 2005, unless
such failure is due to the acts or omissions, negligence or otherwise of Tenant
or its agents or employees, then Tenant, as its sole and exclusive remedy,
shall have the one-time right to terminate this Lease, provided Landlord
receives written notice of Tenant’s election to terminate this Lease on or
before January 15, 2006 (time being of the essence).  In the event (i) Landlord does not receive
said notice on or before January 15, 2006, or (ii) Landlord delivers possession
of the Premises to Tenant prior to receiving said notice, Tenant’s right to
terminate this Lease shall lapse and be of no further force and effect.  Upon such termination, neither party shall
have any liability to the other under this Lease.

Use of Premises

 

Section 3.01           Tenant shall not use the Premises or
any part thereof, or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used in any
manner which would violate the Certificate of Occupancy for the Building or,
for any purpose other than the use hereinbefore specifically mentioned.  Those portions, if any, of the Premises, identified
as toilets and utility areas shall be used by Tenant only for the purposes for
which they are designed.

 

Section 3.02           Tenant shall not use or permit the
use of the Premises or any part thereof in any way which would violate any of
the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease or
for any unlawful purposes or in any unlawful manner and Tenant shall not suffer
or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be used in any manner or anything
to be done therein or anything to be brought into or kept therein which, in the
reasonable judgment of Landlord, shall in any way materially impair the
character, reputation or appearance of the Building as a high quality office
building, impair or interfere with any of the Building services or the proper
and economic heating, cleaning, air conditioning or other servicing of the
Building or Premises, or impair or interfere with the use of any of the other
areas of the Building by, or occasion discomfort, inconvenience or annoyance
to, any of the other tenants or occupants of the Building.  No property other than such as might normally
be brought upon or kept in the Premises as an incident to the reasonable use of
the Premises for the purposes specified in this Lease shall be brought upon or
kept in the Premises.

 

Section 3.03           If any governmental license or permit
shall be required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant’s business or
other activity carried on in the Premises, and if the failure to secure such
license or permit might or would, in any way, adversely affect Landlord, then
Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall duly procure and thereafter maintain such
license or permit and submit the same to inspection by Landlord.  Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall at all
times comply with the requirements of each such license or permit.

Appurtenances, Etc., Not to be Removed

 

Section 4.01           (a)           All
alterations, additions, decorations, fixtures, equipment, improvements,
installations and appurtenances attached to, or built into the Premises prior
to, at the commencement of or during the term hereof (Appurtenances), whether
or not furnished or installed at the expense of Tenant or by Tenant, including
without limitation, Tenant’s Changes as defined in Section 5.01(e) hereof, shall
be and remain part of the Premises and be deemed the property of Landlord and
shall not be removed by Tenant, except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Lease.  Without limiting the generality
of the immediately preceding sentence, all electric, plumbing, heating,
sprinkler, dumbwaiter, elevator, telephone, telegraph, communication, radio and
television systems, fixtures and outlets, venetian blinds, partitions,
railings, gates, doors, stairs, paneling, cupboards (whether or not recessed in
paneling), molding, shelving, radiator enclosures, cork, rubber, tile and
composition floors, and ventilating, silencing, air conditioning and cooling
equipment shall be deemed included in such Appurtenances, if attached to or
built into the Premises.  Appurtenances
shall also include, without limitation, all wiring, cables, risers and similar
installations appurtenant thereto installed by Tenant in the risers or other
common areas of the Building. 
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.01 to the contrary,
any Appurtenances furnished and installed in any part of the Premises at the
sole expense of Tenant and all of Tenant’s personal property (such
Appurtenances as referred to in this sentence and Tenant’s personal property
collectively “Tenant’s Property”) may be removed from the Building by Tenant
prior to the Expiration Date, provided however, if and to the extent requested
by Landlord prior to the Expiration Date, all Appurtenances, Tenant’s Property
and Tenant’s Changes so requested by Landlord shall be removed from the
Building by Tenant prior to such Expiration Date.  Tenant shall repair, restore, replace and/or
rebuild (as the circumstances may require), in a good and workmanlike manner
any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal.  At the time of installing any Appurtenance,
Tenant’s Property or Tenant’s Changes, Tenant may request Landlord to waive
Tenant’s obligation to remove in writing. 
Tenant shall not be obligated to remove any such Appurtenance, Tenant’s
Property or Tenant’s Changes which are the subject of any such written waiver
signed by Landlord but must provide a copy of such written waiver in the

 

10

 

event that a dispute arises. 
Failure to provide a copy of any such waiver shall be presumptive
evidence that a waiver was not granted. 
If any of the Appurtenances, Tenant’s Property or Tenant’s Changes which
are required to be removed from the Building by Tenant are not so removed
within the time above specified, then Landlord (in addition to all other rights
and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled at any time) may at its election
deem that the same has been abandoned by Tenant to Landlord, but no such
election shall relieve Tenant of Tenant’s obligation to pay the actual
out-of-pocket expenses of removing the same from the Premises or the expense of
repairing, restoring, replacing and/or rebuilding (as the circumstances may
require) damage to the Premises or to the Building arising from such removal,
which obligation shall survive the Expiration Date.

(b)           Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Section 4.01 to the contrary, Tenant shall not be
required to remove any Tenant’s Changes which Tenant may perform to the
Premises pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Lease which are
non-structural, do not involve the perforation of a floor slab or the exterior
facade, and are otherwise consistent with customary office usage.  Tenant shall (if designated by Landlord at
the time Landlord approves the plans for Tenant’s Changes) be required to
remove overstandard and/or structural alterations, including, without
limitation, structural steel installed below existing members, raised flooring,
and any bathrooms other than the base Building core area bathrooms, provided
however, as to the said items Tenant may be required to remove Landlord will
specify such items on Landlord’s approval of the plans and specifications for
Tenant’s Changes (Tenant being obligated to remove only such items as it
installs within the Premises and are so specified by Landlord).  Tenant shall also be required to remove any
wires, cabling or other installations within any conduits or riser space within
the Building.

 

Section 4.02           All the perimeter walls and doors of
the Premises, any balconies, terraces or roofs adjacent to the Premises, and
any space in and/or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stairways,
stacks, pipes, vertical conveyors, mail chutes, pneumatic tubes, conduits,
ducts, electric or other utilities, rooms containing elevator or air
conditioning machinery and equipment, sinks, or other similar or dissimilar
Building facilities, and the use thereof, as well as access thereto (including
the right to secure same) through the Premises for the purpose of such use and
the operation, improvement, alteration, replacement, addition, repair,
cleaning,

maintenance, safety, security, and/or decoration thereof, are expressly
reserved to Landlord.

Various Covenants

 

Section 5.01           Tenant covenants and agrees that
Tenant will:

 

(a) Except for Landlord’s obligations under Section 10.02 hereof, take
good care of and maintain in good order, condition and repair the Premises and
Appurtenances, and, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, make all non-structural
repairs, restorations and/or replacements thereto as may be required to keep
the Premises and Appurtenances in good order and condition.  Tenant shall also be responsible for the cost
of all repairs, interior and exterior, structural and non-structural, ordinary
and extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen, in and to the Building and the
facilities and systems thereof, the need for which arises out of (i) the
performance or existence of Tenant’s Changes (herein defined), (ii) the
installation, use or operation of Tenant’s Property, (iii) the moving of Tenant’s
Property into or out of the Premises or the Building, (iv) Tenant’s compliance
or non-compliance with any legal and/or insurance requirements or (v) the act,
omission, misuse or neglect of Tenant or any of its subtenants or its or their
agents, licensees or invitees.  Any
repairs in or to the Building and/or the facilities and systems thereof for
which Tenant is so responsible shall be performed by Landlord at Tenant’s
expense and Tenant shall pay Landlord’s charge therefor as additional rent
hereunder within ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant an invoice
therefor.  All repairs and replacements
made by or on behalf of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant
shall be made in conformity with the provisions of this Lease and shall be at
least equal in quality and class to the original work or installation or the
then standards for the Building established by Landlord.

 

(b) Observe and comply (and cause its agents, employees, invitees and
licensees to observe and comply) with the rules and regulations annexed hereto
and such additional reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord hereafter at
any time or from time to time may make and may communicate in writing to
Tenant, provided, however, that in the case of any conflict between the
provisions of this Lease and such rule or regulation, the provisions of this
Lease shall control; and provided further that nothing contained in this Lease
shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce
the rules and regulations or the terms, covenants or conditions in any other

 

13

 

lease as against any other tenant and; provided further that Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant,
its employees, agents, visitors, invitees, subtenants or licensees.  In enforcing the rules and regulations,
Landlord agrees to treat similarly situated tenants in a similar fashion.

 

(c) Subject to Section 5.02(a) hereof, permit Landlord and any
mortgagee of the Building and/or the Land or of the interest of Landlord
therein and any lessor under any ground or underlying lease, and their
representatives, to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours upon reasonable
(24-hours) prior written (fax being acceptable) notice (except in the case of
an emergency when no notice will be required) for the purposes of inspection,
or of making repairs, replacements or improvements in or to the Premises or the
Building or equipment, or of complying with all laws, orders and requirements
of governmental or other authority or of fulfilling any obligation or
exercising any right reserved to Landlord by this Lease (including the right
during the progress of such repairs, replacements or improvements or while
performing work and furnishing materials in connection with compliance with any
such laws, orders or requirements, to keep and store within the Premises (in
compliance with all insurance and legal requirements) all necessary materials,
tools and equipment).

 

(d)  Make no claim against
Landlord, or any lessor under any ground or underlying lease, or any mortgagee
under any mortgage or trust indenture (collectively herein the “Indemnitees”)
for any damage to property entrusted to employees of Landlord or for any loss
of or damage to any property by theft (including damage resulting from theft or
attempted theft) or any injury or damage to Tenant or other persons or property
resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity,
water, rain or snow or leaks from any part of the Building or from the pipes,
appliances or plumbing works or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any
other place or by dampness, or caused by other tenants or persons in the
Building, or by any other cause of whatsoever nature (including, without
limitation, damage or injury caused by any hazardous or dangerous condition,
waste, material and/or substance (as the same may be defined in any local,
state or federal rule, regulation or statute)), unless caused by or due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants or
employees, but subject to the Sections 7.03 and 7.04 hereof.

 

14

 

(e)           (i)            Make no alterations, decorations,
installations, repairs, additions, improvements or replacements including
Tenant’s initial work in the Premises necessary for Tenant’s occupancy thereof
(herein collectively called “Tenant’s Changes”) in, to or about the Premises
without Landlord’s prior written consent; provided, however, Landlord agrees
(1) that Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s prior written
consent to Tenant’s Changes which (a) are non-structural and decorative in
nature and/or do not involve the perforation of any floor slab, (b) do not
connect to or adversely affect any of the Building’s systems, (c) are not
visible from outside the Premises, (d) do not cost in excess of $*** in the aggregate
in any twelve (12) month period, (e) do not affect, nor are visible from, the
exterior of the Building, and (f) do not affect the common corridor of any
floor on which the Premises are located (if any) or any other common areas of
the Building, provided that Tenant gives Landlord (x) no less than ten (10)
business days’ prior written notice of its intention to so perform such Tenant’s
Changes along with copies of the plans and specifications related thereto (or a
detailed sketch for those Tenant’s Changes for which plans and specifications
are not customarily prepared) and (y) such other information which Landlord
reasonably requests with respect thereto within five (5) business days’ after
the same is requested, and (2) to be reasonable in granting or withholding its
consent to Tenant’s Changes which meet the criteria set forth in (a), (b), (c),
(e), and (f) but cost in excess of $*** in the aggregate in any twelve (12)
month period.  Tenant’s Changes shall
only be performed by contractors, subcontractors or mechanics approved by
Landlord provided Landlord’s approval with respect thereto shall be reasonable
if the Tenant’s Changes involved meet the criteria set forth in (a), (b), (c),
(e), and (f).  Tenant’s Changes shall be
done at Tenant’s sole expense and at such times and in such manner as Landlord
may from time to time reasonably designate. 
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to Tenant’s Changes
involving floor reinforcements, subject to Tenant’s compliance with all
applicable provisions of this Lease.

 

(ii)           Prior to the
commencement of any Tenant’s Changes, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, (1) for
Landlord’s

written approval, three (3) complete sets of the plans and
specifications (to be prepared by and at the expense of Tenant) of such
proposed Tenant’s Changes in detail satisfactory to Landlord, and (2) upon
Landlord’s request and for Tenant’s Changes estimated to cost in excess of $***,
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, either (i) a completion bond, issued by a
surety company acceptable to Landlord in an amount at least equal to the
estimated cost of such Tenant’s Changes or (ii) at Tenant’s option, an
irrevocable letter of credit (the combined sum under this letter of credit and
the letter of credit held as the security deposit hereunder shall never exceed
the total amount of the security deposit required hereunder at the time of the
Tenant’s Change), drawn on a bank which is a member of The New York Clearing
House Association and otherwise satisfactory to Landlord, in an amount equal to
*** percent (***%) of Landlord’s estimate of the cost of performing such Tenant’s
Changes, in each case guaranteeing to Landlord the completion of such Tenant’s
Changes within a reasonable time, as follows: 
(A) free and clear of all liens, conditional bills of sale, security
agreements and other claims, charges and encumbrances (other than security
agreements or other encumbrances in favor of any mortgagee of Landlord) and (B)
in accordance with the requirements of this Lease.  Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request
for approval of Tenant’s plans within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s
receipt of such plans.  In no event shall
any material or equipment be incorporated in or to the Premises in connection
with any such Tenant’s Changes which is subject to any lien, security
agreement, charge, mortgage or other encumbrance of any kind whatsoever or is
subject to any conditional sale or other similar or dissimilar title retention
agreement.  Any mechanic’s lien filed
against the Premises or the Building for work done for, or claimed to have been
done for, or materials furnished to, or claimed to have been furnished to,
Tenant shall be discharged by Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter, at
Tenant’s expense, by filing the bond required by law or otherwise.

 

(iii)          All Tenant’s
Changes shall at all times comply with (x) all applicable laws, rules, orders
and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereover and
all applicable insurance requirements, (y) the

rules and regulations of Landlord for tenant alterations, and (z) the
plans and specifications submitted to and approved by Landlord and Tenant’s
construction contract incorporating such plans and specifications.  In connection with any Tenant’s Changes,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, within ten (10) days after
demand a fee equal to the reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord
in connection with, or relating to, any such Tenant’s Changes.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.01,
no Tenant’s Changes shall be undertaken, started or begun by Tenant or by its
agents, employees, contractors or anyone else acting for or on behalf of Tenant
until Landlord has approved such plans and specifications, and no amendments or
additions to such plans and specifications shall be made without the prior
written consent of Landlord.  Unless all
of the conditions contained in this Section 5.01(e) are fully satisfied,
Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, to withhold
its consent to any Tenant’s Changes. 
Landlord’s consent to such plans and specifications shall create no
responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord with respect to their
completeness, design sufficiency or compliance with all applicable laws and/or
insurance requirements; nor shall Landlord’s execution of any documents
required to be filed with any governmental authority in connection with Tenant’s
installations or changes create any responsibility or liability on the part of
Landlord to take remedial measures to bring any Tenant’s installations or
changes into compliance with applicable legal and/or insurance requirements
(such responsibility or liability being allocated hereunder to Tenant).  If any Tenant’s Changes are made or installed
in violation of this Section 5.01(e), Landlord may, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, without incurring any liability to Tenant whatsoever, enter upon the
Premises and remove such illegitimate Tenant’s Changes and repair any damage
caused by the installation and/or removal of the same.

 

(iv)          In connection with
the completion of Tenant’s Changes or in the performance of any other
activities within the Building by or on behalf of Tenant:  (a) neither Tenant nor its agents,
contractors or subcontractors shall interfere with the operations of the
Building or any work being done by Landlord or its agents, contractors or
subcontractors in the Building; (b) Tenant shall comply with any reasonable
work schedule, rules and regulations proposed by Landlord or its agents; (c)
Tenant shall conform to all of Landlord’s labor regulations and shall not do or
permit anything to be done that might create any work stoppage, picketing or
other labor

 

17

 

disruption or dispute; and (d) the labor employed or contracted for by
Tenant shall be harmonious and compatible with the labor employed or contracted
for by Landlord in the Building, it being agreed that, if in Landlord’s
reasonable judgment Tenant’s labor is incompatible, Tenant shall forthwith upon
Landlord’s demand withdraw Tenant’s labor from the Premises.  If Tenant fails to take any such actions
regarding labor matters, Landlord shall have the right, in addition to any
other rights and remedies available to it under this Lease or pursuant to law
or equity, to seek immediate injunctive relief. Tenant further agrees that it
will, prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises, deliver to
Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing worker’s compensation, public
liability, property damage and such other insurance coverages in such amounts
as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord in connection with Tenant’s
Changes.  Tenant shall keep records of
Tenant’s Changes costing in excess of $**** and of the cost thereof for a period
of two (2) years.  Tenant shall, within
forty-five (45) days after demand by Landlord, furnish to Landlord copies of
such records.

 

(f)  Not do or permit to be done
any act or thing in the Premises which will invalidate or be in conflict with
fire insurance policies issued for office buildings in the Borough of
Manhattan, City of New York, and not do anything or permit anything to be done,
or keep anything or permit anything to be kept, in the Premises which would
increase the fire or other casualty insurance rate on the Building or the
property therein, or which would result in insurance companies of good standing
refusing to insure the Building or any such property in amounts and against
risks as reasonably determined by Landlord, or otherwise result in
non-compliance with the requirements and recommendations of the National Board
of Fire Underwriters or similar organizations promulgating requirements and
recommendations with respect to the Premises. 
If by reason of failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions of this
paragraph including, but not limited to, the mere use to which Tenant puts the
Premises, the fire insurance rate payable by Landlord shall at the beginning of
this Lease or at any time thereafter be higher than it otherwise would be, then
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, for that part of
all fire

18

 

insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord which shall have been
charged because of such failure or use by Tenant, and shall make such
reimbursement upon the first day of the month following such outlay by
Landlord.  In any action or proceeding
wherein Landlord and Tenant are parties, a schedule or “make up” rate for the
Building or Premises issued by the New York Fire Insurance Rating Organization,
or other body making fire insurance rates for the Premises, shall be conclusive
evidence of the facts therein stated and of the several items and charges in
the fire insurance rate then applicable to the Premises.  That the Premises are being used for the
purpose set forth in Article 3 hereof, shall not relieve Tenant from the
foregoing duties, obligations and expenses (except that if premiums are being
raised generally for office buildings then such increase shall be reflected as
part of Operating Expenses, as herein defined).

 

(g)  Permit Landlord, at
reasonable times upon reasonable (48-hours) prior written (fax being
acceptable) notice, to show the Premises to any lessor under any ground or
underlying lease, or any lessee or mortgagee, or any prospective purchaser, lessee,
mortgagee, or assignee of any mortgage of the Building and/or the Land or of
Landlord’s interest therein, and their representatives, and during the period
of twelve (12) months immediately preceding the Expiration Date with respect to
any part of the Premises similarly show any part of the Premises to any person
contemplating the leasing of all or a portion of the same.

 

(h)  At the end of the term, quit
and surrender to Landlord the Premises “broom clean” and in good order and
condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and Tenant shall remove Tenant’s
Changes as required by Section 4.01(b) hereof and/or Tenant’s Property as
Landlord elects to have Tenant remove. 
If the last day of the term of this Lease falls on Sunday or a legal
holiday, this Lease shall expire on the business day immediately
preceding.  Tenant expressly waives, for
itself and for any person claiming through or under Tenant, any rights which
Tenant or such person may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New
York Civil Practice Law and Rules and any similar successor law of the same
import then in force, in connection with any holdover proceedings which
Landlord may institute to enforce the provisions of this paragraph (h).  If the Premises shall not be surrendered within
thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date, Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord
against liability resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the
Premises, including any claims made by any

 

19

 

succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded upon such delay, as
well as for any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection
therewith.  If Tenant shall remain in
possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date without the execution of a
new lease (whether or not with the consent or acquiescence of Landlord), Tenant’s
occupancy shall be deemed to be that of a tenancy-at-will, and in no event from
month-to-month or from year-to-year, and it shall be subject to all of the
other terms of this Lease applicable thereto, including those set forth in this
paragraph (h).  In the event that Tenant
defaults or remains in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the
expiration of the tenancy-at-will created hereby then Tenant’s occupancy shall
be deemed a tenancy-at sufferance and not a tenancy-at-will.  Nothing contained herein shall be construed
to constitute Landlord’s consent to Tenant holding over after the Expiration
Date or to give Tenant the right to hold over after the Expiration Date.  During the period in which Tenant holds over,
Tenant shall pay rent to Landlord at a monthly rental equal to the greater of
(i) 1.5 times the monthly Fixed Rent, plus all additional rent and other
charges last payable by Tenant hereunder, or (ii) the fair market rental value
of the Premises on a monthly basis, provided however, and on the condition
Landlord and Tenant are then engaged in good-faith negotiations to extend or
renew the term of this Lease, the holdover rent payable by Tenant hereunder
shall not increase during the first thirty (30) days after the Expiration
Date.  Tenant’s obligations under this
paragraph (h) shall survive the expiration of this Lease.

 

(i)  At any time and from time to
time upon not less than ten (10) business days’ prior notice by Landlord to
Tenant, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, or to anyone else
Landlord shall designate, a statement of Tenant (or if Tenant is a corporation,
an appropriate officer of Tenant) in writing certifying to Landlord or to
anyone else Landlord shall designate that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full
force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), specifying the
dates to which the Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges have been paid
in advance, if any, and stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the
signer of such certificate Landlord is in default in performance of any
provision of this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default of which the
signer may have knowledge, and further stating such other items or information
as Landlord or Landlord’s designee may reasonably request, including

 

20

 

without limitation, Tenant’s undertaking not to pay any rent or other
charges for more than a specified period in advance of the due dates therefor
set forth herein; it being intended that any such statement so delivered may be
relied upon by the person to whom the statement is given.  If Tenant fails to execute and deliver the
statement as and when required by this Section 5.01(i), then:  (1) notwithstanding any other provision of
this Lease, such failure (if same continues for more than five (5) business
days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such failure) shall constitute a default
under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period entitling Landlord to the
same rights and remedies as if such default was with respect to nonpayment of
Fixed Rent, and (2) Tenant shall thereupon constitute and appoint Landlord
and/or its successors in interest as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute and
deliver any such statement or statements for and on behalf of Tenant.

 

(j)  Not move any safe, heavy
machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures into or out of
the Building without Landlord’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed.  If
such safe, machinery, equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures require
special handling, Tenant agrees to employ only persons holding a Master Rigger’s
License to do said work, and that all work in connection therewith shall comply
with the Administrative Code of the City of New York.  Notwithstanding said consent of Landlord,
Tenant shall defend and indemnify Landlord for, and hold Landlord harmless and
free from, all loss, costs, liabilities and damages sustained by person or
property, as well as for all expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred
in connection therewith, and all costs incurred in repairing any damage to the
Building or Appurtenances (including, without limitation, Landlord’s reasonable
charge for any repairs performed by Landlord’s employees).

 

(k)  To the extent not prohibited
by applicable law, indemnify, defend and save harmless, the Indemnitees, and
their respective officers, directors, contractors, agents and employees, from
and against any and all liability (statutory or otherwise), claims, actions,
suits, demands, damages, judgments, costs, interest and expenses of any kind or
nature of anyone whomsoever (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel
fees and disbursements incurred in the defense of any action or proceeding), to
which they may be subject or which they may suffer by reason of any claim for,
any injury to, or death of, any person or persons, theft or damage to property
(including any

 

21

 

loss of use thereof) or damage to the Building or Appurtenances or otherwise
arising from or in connection with the use of or from any work, installation or
thing whatsoever done (other than by Landlord or its agents or employees) in or
about the Premises and/or the Building during or subsequent to (in the case of
a holdover) the term of this Lease, or arising from any condition of the
Premises and/or the Building due to or resulting from any default by Tenant in
the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or from any act,
omission or negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant’s officers, directors,
agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, licensees or invitees.  Where not prohibited by applicable law, no
workers’ compensation claim by any of Tenant’s employees will be subrogated
against Landlord.  Tenant’s obligations
under this paragraph shall survive the Expiration Date, subject to any
applicable statutes of limitations.

 

(l)  Not do or permit to be done
any act or thing which would cause any hazardous or dangerous condition, waste,
material and/or substance (as the same may be defined in any local, state or
federal rule, regulation or statute) to be used, stored, transported, released,
handled, produced, created, disposed of, or installed in, on, from, or at the
Premises and/or the Building, except for small amounts of standard office and
cleaning supplies; provided that all such materials and/or substances (i) shall
at all times be used, stored, transported, released, handled, produced,
created, disposed of, and/or installed in compliance with all applicable legal
and/or insurance requirements, (ii) shall not create any additional burden on
Landlord to notify other tenants, the public or any governmental authority of
the existence of such materials and/or substances and (iii) shall not cause any
increase in Landlord’s insurance rates. 
Landlord shall not be deemed responsible for and Tenant agrees to
indemnify and defend Landlord for, and hold Landlord harmless and free from,
any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses sustained by person or
property and any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses incurred
by Landlord with respect to or in settlement of any claims or judgments brought
in connection with any environmental condition in the Premises or the Building
created or caused by Tenant or its agents, including reasonable counsel fees
and disbursements incurred in connection therewith.  Tenant shall be responsible for all adverse
affects of backflow, backfeed, harmonics and other like-type conditions,
whether to, in, at, or outside the Building, which emanate from, are caused by,
or relate to the Premises and/or the systems serving the Premises and/or the

 

22

 

equipment, machinery, fixtures, furnishings, products and lighting
located in the Premises.

 

Section 5.02           Landlord covenants and agrees that
Landlord will:

 

(a)  use reasonable efforts not
to interfere with Tenant’s business during such times as Landlord exercises its
rights under the various provisions of this Lease which permit Landlord to
perform work, repairs, improvements, maintenance and/or alterations to the
Building (including the Premises) but Landlord shall not be required to perform
the same on an overtime or premium pay basis; and

 

(b)  give Tenant reasonable prior
written (fax being acceptable) notice of all entry into the Premises (except in
the case of an emergency when no such notice shall be required).

Changes or Alterations by Landlord

 

Section 6.01           Landlord reserves the right to make
such changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements in
or to the Building (including the Premises) and the fixtures and equipment
thereof, as well as in or to the street entrances, halls, passages, elevators,
escalators, stairways and other parts thereof, and to erect, maintain and use
pipes, ducts and conduits in and through the Premises, all as Landlord may deem
necessary or desirable; provided, however, Landlord agrees that
the end result of any of the foregoing shall not materially interfere with
Tenant’s use of the Premises or access thereto. 
Nothing contained in this Article 6 shall relieve Tenant of any duty,
obligation or liability of Tenant with respect to making any repair,
replacement or improvement or complying with any law, order or requirement of
any governmental or other authority.

 

Section 6.02           Landlord reserves the right to name
the Building and to change the name or address of the Building at any time and
from time to time upon no less than thirty (30) days prior notice.  Neither this Lease nor any use by Tenant
shall give Tenant any easement or other right in or to the use of any door or
any passage or any concourse or any plaza connecting the Building with any
subway or any other building or to any public conveniences, and the use of such
doors, passages, concourses,

plazas and conveniences may, without notice to Tenant be regulated or
discontinued at any time by Landlord.  If
at any time any windows of the Premises are (i) broken, temporarily darkened
(which shall not be construed as encompassing any solar-tinting and/or blinds
that Landlord may require) or obstructed incident to or by reason of repairs,
replacements, maintenance and/or cleaning in, on, to or about the Building or
any part or parts thereof or (ii) permanently darkened (which shall not be
construed as encompassing any solar-tinting and/or blinds that Landlord may
require) for any reason whatsoever beyond Landlord’s control or (iii)
temporarily or permanently closed or rendered inoperable for any reason
whatsoever including, but not limited to, Landlord’s own acts, Landlord shall
not be liable for any damage Tenant may sustain thereby and Tenant shall not be
entitled to any compensation therefor or abatement of rent nor shall the same
release Tenant from its obligations hereunder or constitute an eviction and
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently correct such
condition to the extent practical and to the extent within Landlord’s control.

 

Section 6.03           Except as provided in Article 7 and
Section 17.05 of this Lease, there shall be no allowance to Tenant for a
diminution of rental value, the same shall not constitute an eviction of Tenant
in whole or in part and Landlord shall incur no liability whatsoever by reason
of inconvenience, annoyance, or injury to business arising from Landlord,
Tenant or others making any changes, alterations, additions, improvements,
repairs or replacements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or
in the Appurtenances thereof or in the taking or storing of material in the
Premises in connection therewith and no liability shall be incurred by Landlord
for failure of Landlord or others to make any changes, alterations, additions,
improvements, repairs or replacements in or to any portion of the Building or
the Premises, or in the Appurtenances.

Damage
by Fire,
Etc.

 

Section 7.01           Subject to Section 7.02, if any part
of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give
prompt written notice thereof to Landlord and Landlord shall proceed with
reasonable diligence, and in a manner consistent with the reasonable provisions
of any ground or underlying lease and any mortgage affecting the same or the
Land and/or the Building or Landlord’s interest therein, to repair such damage,
and if any part of the Premises shall be rendered untenantable by reason of
such damage, the annual Fixed Rent payable hereunder shall be abated to the
extent that such Fixed Rent relates to such part of the Premises for the period
from the date of such damage to the date when such part of the Premises shall
have been made tenantable or to such earlier date upon which the full term of
this Lease with respect to such part of the Premises shall expire or
terminate.  If Landlord or any holder of
any superior mortgage (as herein defined) or any lessor under any superior
lease (as herein defined) shall be unable to collect the insurance proceeds
(including rent insurance) applicable to such damage solely because of some bad
faith action or inaction on the part of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, contractors,
employees, guests, invitees or licensees, then Landlord’s charge for repairing
such damage shall be paid by Tenant and there shall be no abatement of
rent.  Landlord shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to avoid any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury
to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair
thereof.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees
that Landlord shall not:  (i) carry
insurance of any kind on any Appurtenances, Tenant’s Property, or Tenant’s
Changes or (ii) be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace any of
same, which obligation shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant.

 

Section 7.02           If substantial alteration or
reconstruction of the Building shall, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord, be
required as a result of damage by fire or other casualty (whether or not the
Premises shall have been damaged by such fire or other casualty) and if
Landlord does not act in a manner discriminatory to Tenant, or if more than
fifty percent (50%) of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty
during the last two (2) years of the term of this Lease, then this Lease and
the term and estate hereby granted may be terminated by Landlord by its giving
to Tenant within one hundred

 

25

 

twenty (120) days after the date of such damage written notice
specifying a date, not less than thirty (30) days after the giving of such
notice, for such termination.

 

Section 7.03           Landlord and Tenant shall each secure
an appropriate clause in, or an endorsement upon, each all risk property damage
policy obtained by it and covering the Building, the Premises or Tenant’s
Property pursuant to which the respective insurance companies waive subrogation
or permit the insured, prior to any loss, to waive any claim it might have
against the other.  Provided the terms of
the applicable insurance policy will not be violated or rendered unenforceable,
the waiver of subrogation or permission for waiver of any claim hereinbefore
referred to shall extend to the agents of each party.

 

Section 7.04           Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Lease to the contrary (other than the second sentence of Section 7.01)
with respect to any property whether insured or not, each party hereby releases
the other and its partners, agents and employees with respect to any claim
(including a claim for negligence) which it might otherwise have against the
other party for loss, damage or destruction with respect to its property by
fire or other casualty (including rental value or business interruption, as the
case may be) occurring during the term of this Lease.  Nothing in this Section 7.04 shall relieve
Tenant or Landlord of its obligations to make repairs to the Premises in
accordance with the terms of this Lease.

 

Section 7.05           This Lease shall be considered an
express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the
Building or any part thereof by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the
Real Property Law of the State of New York providing for such a contingency in
the absence of express agreement, and any other law of like import now or
hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case.

 

Section 7.06           Notwithstanding the above to the
contrary, in the event that more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises shall
be damaged by fire or other casualty and restoration is not substantially
completed by Landlord within one (1) year after the occurrence of said
casualty, subject to extension for circumstances beyond Landlord’s reasonable
control (the “Restoration Period”), then Tenant shall be entitled to terminate
this Lease provided Landlord receives a written termination notice (which shall
be deemed irrevocable) from

 

26

 

Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the
Restoration Period, time being of the essence. 
In the event that Landlord does not receive said notice within said
forty-five (45) day period, then Tenant’s right to terminate pursuant to this
Section 7.06 shall be void and of no further force or effect.

Condemnation

 

Section 8.01           In the event that the whole of the
Premises shall be lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for any public or
quasi-public use, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall
forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title.  In the event that only a part of the Premises
shall be so condemned or taken, then, effective as of the date of vesting of
title, the Fixed Rent hereunder shall be abated in an amount thereof
apportioned according to the area of the Premises so condemned or taken.  In the event that a material part of the
Building shall be so condemned or taken, then Landlord (whether or not the Premises
be affected) may, at Landlord’s option, terminate this Lease and the term and
estate hereby granted as of the date of such vesting of title by notifying
Tenant in writing of such termination within one hundred twenty (120) days
following the date on which Landlord shall have received notice of vesting of
title.  If Landlord does not elect to
terminate this Lease, as aforesaid, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected
by such condemnation or taking, except that the Fixed Rent payable hereunder
shall be abated to the extent, if any, hereinbefore provided in this Article
8.  In the event that only a part of the
Premises shall be so condemned or taken and this Lease and the term and estate
hereby granted with respect to the remaining portion of the Premises are not
terminated as hereinbefore provided, Landlord will, with reasonable diligence
and at its expense, restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as
practicable to the same condition as it was in prior to such condemnation or
taking.   However, Landlord shall not be
obligated to repair any damage to Tenant’s Property or replace the same.

 

Section 8.02           In the event of a termination of this
Lease pursuant to Section 8.01 of this Article 8, this Lease and the term and
estate hereby granted shall expire as of the date of such termination with the
same effect as if that were the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the
full term of this

 

27

 

Lease, and the Fixed Rent payable hereunder shall be apportioned as of
such date.

 

Section 8.03           In the event of any condemnation or
taking hereinbefore mentioned of all or a part of the Building, Landlord shall
be entitled to receive the entire award in the condemnation proceeding,
including any award made for the value of the estate vested by this Lease in
Tenant, and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord any and all right,
title and interest of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to any such award
or any part thereof, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive no part of such
award.  The foregoing shall not prohibit
Tenant’s independent claim for the value of Tenant’s trade fixtures and moving
expenses and any other claim permitted under law so long as any award made to
Tenant based upon such claim does not reduce the award otherwise payable to
Landlord.

 

Section 8.04           Notwithstanding anything hereinabove
contained in this Article, if all or any portion of the Premises shall be
lawfully condemned or taken for any temporary public or quasi-public use not to
exceed one consecutive year, this Lease shall not terminate and Tenant shall
continue to perform or observe all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder as though
such condemnation or taking had not occurred, except only as Tenant may be
prevented from so doing by reason of the lawful use and occupancy of the
Premises or portion thereof affected by such condemnation or taking during such
temporary period.  In the event of any
such condemnation or taking, Tenant shall be entitled to receive the award with
respect to the Premises or portion thereof covered by such condemnation or
taking (whether paid as damages, rent or otherwise), unless the period of
occupancy extends beyond the termination of this Lease, in which case Landlord
shall be entitled to such part of such award as shall be properly allocable to
the cost of restoration of the Premises and the balance of said award shall be
apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the scheduled Expiration
Date.  If such condemnation or taking
shall end before the Expiration Date, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and
expense, restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the condition in which
they were prior to such condemnation or taking.

Compliance with Laws

 

Section 9.01           Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall
comply with all laws and ordinances, and all rules, orders and regulations of
all governmental authorities and of all insurance bodies, at any time duly
issued or in force, applicable to the Premises or any part thereof or to Tenant’s
use or alteration thereof, except that Tenant shall not hereby be under any
obligation to comply with any law, ordinance, rule, order or regulation
requiring any structural alteration of or in connection with the Premises,
unless such alteration is required by reason of a condition which has been
created by, or at the instance of Tenant, or is attributable to the specific
manner of use (as opposed to mere office use) to which Tenant puts the
Premises, or Tenant’s alteration thereof, or is required by reason of a breach
of any of Tenant’s covenants and agreements hereunder.  Where any structural alteration of or in
connection with the Premises is required by any such law, ordinance, rule,
order or regulation, and, by reason of the express exception hereinabove contained,
Tenant is not under any obligation to make such alteration, then Landlord shall
make such alteration and, subject to Section 26.04, pay the cost thereof.

 

Section 9.02           Subject to Section 26.04, Landlord
shall, within a reasonable period of time after Tenant notifies Landlord of the
same or Landlord obtains knowledge of same, comply with all laws and
ordinances, and all rules, orders and regulations of all governmental
authorities and of all insurance bodies, at any time duly issued or in force,
applicable to the Land and the Building or any part thereof (excluding the
Premises) which are not the obligation of Tenant under this Lease, to the
extent that non-compliance would adversely affect, by more than a de minimis amount, Tenant’s ability to use
and occupy the Premises for the uses permitted under this Lease.

Accidents to Plumbing and Other Systems

 

Section 10.01         Tenant shall give to Landlord prompt
written notice of any damage to, or defective condition in, any part or
appurtenance of the Building’s plumbing, electrical, heating, air conditioning
(excluding any supplemental air conditioning units and equipment servicing the
Premises which shall be Tenant’s responsibility to repair, maintain and
replace)  or other systems serving,
located in, or passing through the Premises (collectively, the “Systems”).  Following such notice, any such damage to or
defective condition of the Systems shall be

 

29

 

remedied by Landlord with reasonable diligence, but if such damage or
defective condition was caused by, or resulted from the use by, Tenant or by
the employees, agents, licensees or invitees of Tenant, Landlord’s actual
out-of-pocket cost for the remedy thereof shall be paid by Tenant.  Tenant shall not be entitled to claim any
damages arising from any such damage or defective condition unless the same
shall have been caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its
agents or employees in the operation or maintenance of the Premises or Building
and the same shall not have been remedied by Landlord with reasonable diligence
after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; nor shall Tenant be
entitled to claim any eviction by reason of any such damage or defective
condition.  Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord shall not be responsible for
repairing any portion of the Systems serving the Premises (whether located
within or outside the Premises) which were installed by or on behalf of Tenant.

 

Section 10.02         Landlord shall, at its sole cost and
expense (except as otherwise provided herein), keep and maintain in good repair
and working order and make all repairs to and perform necessary maintenance
upon the Building and all parts thereof, including structural elements,
life-safety, plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems within the Building which
generally service the Building and are required in the normal maintenance and
operation of the Building.  Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 10.02 or elsewhere in this Lease to the contrary, it
is agreed that Landlord is not obligated hereunder to maintain the Building in
any better repair or working order than as would be expected for a first-class
office building in midtown Manhattan.

Notices and Service of Process

 

Section 11.01         (a) Except as otherwise set forth
below, any notice, consent, approval, demand or statement hereunder by either
party to the other party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given only if sent by (i) registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, or (ii) by messenger or recognized overnight courier (requiring
signed receipt), in either event addressed to such other party, which address
for Landlord shall be the address as hereinbefore set forth, Attention:  Senior Vice President - Office Buildings,

mailed prior to Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises), or if the address of such
other party for notices shall have been duly changed as herein provided, if
mailed, as aforesaid, to such other party at such changed address.  Either party may at any time change the
address for such notices, consents, approvals, demands or statements by
mailing, as aforesaid, to the other party a notice stating the change and
setting forth the changed address.  If
the term “Tenant”, as used in this Lease, refers to more than one person, any
notice, consent, approval, demand or statement given as aforesaid to any one of
such persons shall be deemed to have been duly given to Tenant.  Any notice, consent, approval, demand or
statement given pursuant to the above shall be deemed received on the day of
delivery (with signed receipt) or rejection, as the case may be.

 

(b) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all disputes arising, directly
or indirectly, out of or relating to this Lease should be dealt with by
application of the laws of the State of New York and adjudicated in the state
courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County or the Federal
courts sitting in the State of New York in New York County; and hereby
expressly and irrevocably submits Tenant to the jurisdiction of such courts in
any suit, action or proceeding arising, directly or indirectly, out of or relating
to this Lease.  So far as is permitted
under the 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 permitted by law, shall be necessary in order to
confer jurisdiction upon Tenant in any such court.  Provided that service of process is effected
upon Tenant in one of the manners permitted by law, Tenant irrevocably waives,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agrees not to assert, by way of
motion, as a defense or otherwise, (i) any objection which it may have, or may
hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or
proceeding brought in such a court as is mentioned in the previous paragraph,
(ii) any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court
has been brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iii) any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts.  Tenant hereby further irrevocably consents to
the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding by the mailing or
delivery of the appropriate documents (e.g., process

 

31

 

or summons) by Landlord to the Premises and delivered in one of the
manners set forth in 11.01(a) above. 
Nothing herein shall in any way be deemed to limit the ability of
Landlord to serve any such papers in any other manner permitted by applicable
law.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, bills for additional rent
shall be deemed to have been duly given if sent to Tenant only (and no other
party need receive it in order for the same to be deemed duly given) at the
Premises (or Tenant’s address as hereinbefore set forth if mailed prior to
Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises) by first class mail (and which need not be
registered, certified or return receipt requested) or by messenger or
recognized overnight courier without, in any case, the requirement of a signed
receipt.

 

Section 11.02         Any notice which Landlord gives to
Tenant (or any other party) prior to being notified of the assignment of this
Lease (or the transfer of any interest in any portion of the Premises) shall be
binding upon any such assignee (or party acquiring the interest) notwithstanding
the fact that said assignee (or party acquiring the interest) did not receive
any such notice.  Any action that
Landlord may institute against Tenant (or any other party) prior to being
notified of the assignment of this Lease (or the transfer of any interest in
any portion of the Premises) shall be binding upon any such assignee (or party
acquiring the interest) notwithstanding the fact that said assignee (or party
acquiring the interest) is not named in any such action.  This Section 11.02 shall not be construed as
negating the requirement of obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent under
Article 25 in those instances where the same is required.

to Tenant a written notice specifying the same, or, in the case of such a
default which for causes beyond Tenant’s control (which shall not include
insufficiency of funds) cannot with due diligence be cured within said period
of twenty-five (25) days, if Tenant (i) shall not, promptly upon the giving of

then, in any of said cases, Landlord may give to Tenant a notice of
intention to end the term of this Lease at the expiration of three (3) days
from the date of the giving of such notice, and, in the event such notice is
given, the expiration of said three (3) day period shall become the Expiration

non-payment” action.  If the term “Tenant”,
as used in this Lease, refers to more than one person, then as used in clauses

all such persons or any one of them; if any of the obligations of Tenant under

Re-entry by Landlord

 

Section 13.01         If this Lease shall terminate as
provided in Article 12 hereof provided, Landlord or Landlord’s agents may
immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter into or upon the Premises, or
any part thereof, in the name of the whole, either by summary dispossess
proceedings or by any suitable

action or proceeding at law, or by force or otherwise (to the extent
permitted by New York law), without being liable to indictment, prosecution or
damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any persons
therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold and enjoy the Premises again
as and of its first estate and interest therein.  The words “re-enter”, “re-entry” and “re-entering”
as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

 

Section 13.02         In the event of any termination of this
Lease under the provisions of Article 12 hereof or in the event that Landlord
shall re-enter the Premises under the provisions of this Article 13 or in the
event of the termination of this Lease (or of re-entry) by or under any summary
dispossess or other proceeding or action or other measure undertaken by
Landlord for the enforcement of its aforesaid right of re-entry or any
provision of law (any such termination of this Lease being herein called a “Default
Termination”), Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the Fixed Rent,
additional rent and any other charge payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord up
to the time of such Default Termination or of such recovery of possession of
the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, and shall also pay to Landlord
damages as provided in Article 14 hereof or pursuant to law.  Also, in the event of a Default Termination Landlord
shall be entitled to retain all moneys, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord,
whether as advance rent, security or otherwise, but such moneys shall be
credited by Landlord against any Fixed Rent, additional rent or any other
charge due from Tenant at the time of such Default Termination or, at Landlord’s
option, against any damages payable by Tenant under Article 14 hereof or
pursuant to law.

 

Section 13.03         In the event of a breach or threatened
breach on the part of Tenant with respect to any of Tenant’s obligations
hereunder, Landlord shall also have the right of injunction.  The specified remedies to which Landlord may
resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any
other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled
at any time and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as

Damages

 

Section 14.01         In the event of a Default Termination
of this Lease, Tenant will pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of the
Landlord, either:

 

(a)  a sum which at the time of
such Default Termination represents the then value of the excess, if any, of
the Present Value, as herein defined, of (1) the aggregate of the Fixed Rent
and the additional rent under Article 26 (if any) which would have been payable
hereunder by Tenant for the period commencing with the day following the date
of such Default Termination and ending with the scheduled Expiration Date, over
(2) the aggregate fair rental value of the Premises for the same period as
determined by an independent real estate appraiser (experienced in midtown
Manhattan first-class office buildings) named by Landlord and employed at Tenant’s
expense, in which case such liquidated damages shall be accelerated to be due
and payable to Landlord in one lump sum on demand at any time commencing with
the day following the date of such Default Termination and shall bear interest
at the Default Rate, as herein defined, until paid, or

(b)  sums equal to the aggregate
of the Fixed Rent and the additional rent under Article 26 (if any) which would
have been due and payable by Tenant during the remainder of the term had this
Lease not terminated by such Default Termination, in which case such liquidated
damages shall be computed and payable in monthly installments, in advance, on
the first day of each calendar month following Default Termination of this
Lease and continuing until the scheduled Expiration Date but for such Default
Termination; provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet all or any part of
the Premises for all or any part of said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant
with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting until the scheduled
Expiration Date, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the
gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the expenses
incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease and of re-entering the
Premises and of securing possession thereof, as well as the expenses of
reletting, including altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants,
brokers’ commissions and all other expenses properly chargeable against the
Premises and the rental therefrom in connection with such reletting, it being
understood that any such reletting may be for a period equal to or shorter or
longer than said period; provided, further that (i) in no event shall Tenant be
entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by
Tenant to Landlord hereunder, (ii) in no event shall Tenant be entitled,
in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this clause

 

36

 

(b), to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting except to
the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord prior to the
commencement of each suit, and (iii) if the Premises or any part thereof should
be relet in combination with other space, then appropriate apportionment on a square
foot rentable area basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting
and of the expenses of reletting. 
Landlord shall, after such Default Termination, use commercially
reasonable efforts to relet the Premises or any part thereof, provided (y) that
the prospective tenant or tenants shall be, in Landlord’s sole discretion, of a
character and engaged in a business such as is in keeping with the standards of
the Building and its occupancy and (z) such reletting shall be on such terms
and conditions as shall be satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion.

 

For the purposes of subdivision (a) of this Section 14.01, the amount
of additional rent which would have been payable by Tenant under Article 26
hereof, for each Tax Year and/or Operating Year (as herein defined) ending
after such Default Termination, shall be deemed an amount equal to the amount
of such additional rent payable by Tenant for the Tax Year and/or Operating
Year (as the case may be) ending immediately preceding such Default Termination.  Suit or suits for the recovery of such
damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to

Elevators, Cleaning, Heating, Air Conditioning, Services, Etc.

 

Section 17.01         Landlord will provide passenger
elevator facilities during Business Hours and have one passenger elevator
subject to call during the other hours.  “Business
Hours”, as used in this Lease, means the hours of 8:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. of
days other than Saturdays, Sundays and holidays observed by the State or
Federal Government as legal holidays. 
Landlord will clean the Premises in accordance with the specifications
attached hereto as Exhibit D provided the same are kept in order by Tenant,
except any private/executive bathrooms and/or any portions of the Premises
which may be used for the preparation, dispensing or consumption of food or
beverages or for storage, shipping room, classroom or similar purposes or for
the operation of computer, data processing or similar equipment, all of which
portions Tenant shall cause to be kept clean at Tenant’s own expense.  Landlord agrees that its maintenance and
cleaning obligations under this Lease shall extend to the public ADA bathroom.

 

Section 17.02         Landlord shall, through the air
conditioning system, furnish to, and distribute in, the Premises air
conditioning, heat and ventilation during Business Hours and from 8:00 A.M. to
1:00 P.M. on Saturdays (except holidays) so as to meet the specifications of
Exhibit C referred to below; provided, however, that Landlord
shall not be liable for uncomfortable conditions in the Premises if the cause
of the uncomfortable conditions is due to the fact that Tenant’s
cooling/heating needs are over and above the capacity/ specifications of the
Building’s heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system attached
hereto as Exhibit C.  Tenant agrees to
lower and close the blinds when necessary because of the sun’s position
whenever said HVAC system is in operation, and Tenant agrees at all times to
cooperate fully with Landlord and to abide by all the regulations and
requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and
protection of said HVAC system.  Landlord
shall at all times have free and unrestricted access to any and all HVAC
facilities in the Premises subject to Section 5.02 hereof.

Section 17.03         Landlord will, when and to the extent
reasonably requested by Tenant furnish freight elevator or additional elevator,
HVAC, or cleaning services (collectively “Additional Services”) upon such terms
and conditions as shall be determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion;
and Tenant shall pay to Landlord promptly on demand as additional rent Landlord’s
then Building Standard charge for such Additional Services.  Landlord shall not be required to furnish,
and Tenant shall not be entitled to receive, any Additional Services during any
period wherein Tenant shall be in default in the payment of Fixed Rent or
additional rent beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period
as specified in this Lease.  Without
limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall pay
to Landlord Landlord’s reasonable charge for (a) any cleaning of the Building
or any part thereof required because of the carelessness or indifference of
Tenant or the cleaning of any stains from floors or walls caused by any food or
beverages, (b) any cleaning done at the request of Tenant of any portions of
the Premises which may be used for private/executive bathrooms and/or the
preparation, dispensing or consumption of food or beverages or for storage,
shipping room, classroom or similar purposes or for the operation of computer,
data processing or similar equipment, and (c) the removal of any of Tenant’s
refuse and rubbish from the Building, except refuse and rubbish arising from
ordinary cleaning by Landlord as specified in Section 17.01 hereof.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal
to any actual increase in the cost to Landlord for cleaning the Premises if
such actual increase shall be due to (i) the use of the Premises by Tenant
during hours other than Business Hours or (ii) the installation in the
Premises, at the request of or by Tenant, of any items, materials or finishes
other than those which are of the standard adopted by Landlord for the Building
or which may require additional or special care.  Tenant understands that all (i) deliveries
and removals of construction tools, materials, equipment etc. in connection
with Tenant’s Changes or surrender of the Premises and/or (ii) deliveries and
removals of furniture and personal property in connection with Tenant’s move-in
to and vacating of the Premises, shall be done during non-Business Hours.
Subject to Building rules and regulations and mutually agreeable scheduling,
Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with up to 40 hours of free overtime freight
elevator usage only for Tenant’s initial construction and move-in to the
Premises.  Tenant agrees at all times to
exclusively utilize the rubbish contractor which Landlord from

 

40

 

time to time designates as the Building’s rubbish contractor, provided
such contractor’s charges are reasonably competitive.

 

Section 17.04         At any time or times all or any of the
elevators in the Building may, at the option of Landlord, be manual and/or
automatic elevators, and Landlord shall be under no obligation to furnish an
elevator operator for any automatic elevator. 
If Landlord shall at any time or times furnish any elevator operator for
any automatic elevator, Landlord may discontinue furnishing such elevator
operator without any diminution, reduction or abatement of rent.

 

Section 17.05         Landlord reserves the right, without
liability to Tenant and without constituting any claim of constructive
eviction, to stop or interrupt any HVAC, elevator, escalator, lighting, gas,
steam, plumbing, power, electricity, water, condenser water, cleaning or other
service and to stop or interrupt the use of any Building facilities at such
times as may be necessary and for as long as may reasonably be required by
reason of accidents, strikes, or the making of repairs, alterations or
improvements, or inability to secure a proper supply of fuel, gas, steam,
water, electricity, labor or supplies, or by reason of any other similar or
dissimilar cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.  To the extent within the reasonable control
of Landlord, Landlord agrees to give Tenant reasonable prior notice of such
stoppage or interruption.  No such
stoppage or interruption shall entitle Tenant to any diminution or abatement of
rent or other compensation nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of
Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of any such stoppage or interruption; provided,
however, if the entire Premises or any substantial portion thereof shall
be rendered untenantable or inaccessible for a period in excess of five (5)
consecutive business days by reason of any circumstance within Landlord’s
reasonable control, then Tenant shall, as its sole and exclusive remedy, be
entitled to an abatement of the Fixed Rent and Article 26 additional rent
payable hereunder (on a prorata square foot basis) commencing on the sixth
(6th)) business day and continuing until the day upon which the entire Premises
or the substantial portion of the Premises, as the case may be, becomes tenantable/accessible;
provided, further, if the entire Premises or any substantial
portion thereof shall be rendered untenantable or inaccessible for a period in
excess of twenty (20) consecutive business days by reason of any circumstance
beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, then Tenant shall, as its sole and
exclusive remedy, be entitled to an abatement of the Fixed Rent and Article 26 

 

41

 

additional rent payable hereunder (on a prorata square foot basis)
commencing on the twenty-first (31st) business day and continuing until the day
upon which the entire Premises or the substantial portion of the Premises, as
the case may be, becomes tenantable/accessible. 
Tenant shall not be entitled to the abatement provided in this Section
17.05 at any time (and for the length of time) that Tenant is in default beyond
any applicable cure period of any of the terms or conditions of this Lease
and/or if Tenant’s breach of this Lease, negligence or wilful misconduct caused
the circumstances which gave rise to the inaccessibility or
untenantability.  Landlord agrees to make
reasonable efforts to limit the duration of any such stoppage or interruption
but shall not be required to perform the same on an overtime or premium pay
basis.

 

Section 17.06         Tenant acknowledges that the operation
of elevators and HVAC equipment will cause some vibration, noise, heat or cold
which may be transmitted to other parts of the Building and Premises.  Landlord shall be under no obligation to
endeavor to reduce such vibration, noise, heat or cold beyond what is customary
in current good building practice for buildings of the same first-class nature
as the Building in the midtown area of the Borough of Manhattan.

 

Section 17.07         Use of the term “Building Standard” or
similar terminology in this Lease or in the exhibits attached hereto, shall
mean Landlord’s standard criteria, requirements or specifications (qualitatively
based or quantitatively based) used in connection with maintenance, work or
improvements in the Building.

 

Section 17.08         In the event that the Building standby
power generation system is used or operated at any time during the term of this
Lease (and Tenant shall have sixty (60) days after the date hereof in which to
elect whether it shall tie-in to such standby power generation system), Tenant
shall, from time to time within twenty (20) days after demand, pay to Landlord
Tenant’s prorata share (which prorata share will be based on the proportion the
rentable area of the Premises bears to the rentable square feet of space in the
Building then being occupied by other tenants pursuant to effective leases) of
the cost of operating the Building standby power generation system and all
costs incidental thereto (Standby Generator Cost).  The Standby Generator Cost shall not be
included in Operating Expenses to the extent Landlord is paid or reimbursed for
same.  Landlord will make up to four (4)
watts per usable square foot of the Premises

 

42

 

available to Tenant from the Building’s standby power generation
system.

 

Section 17.09         Subject to the other terms and
conditions of this Lease and such reasonable security regulations as Landlord
may promulgate from time to time, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have
twenty-four (24) hours per day, three hundred and sixty-five (365) days per
annum access to the Premises.

relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements, except
to the extent that the same may expressly be set forth in this Lease.

 

Section 18.02         The failure of Landlord to insist in
any instance upon the strict performance of any provision of this Lease or to
exercise any election herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment for the future of such provision or election, but the same shall
continue and remain in full force and effect. 
No waiver or modification by either party of any provision of this Lease
or other right or benefit shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in
writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.  No surrender of the Premises or of any part
thereof or of any remainder of the term of this Lease shall be valid unless
accepted by Landlord in writing.  Any
claim which Tenant may have against Landlord for default in performance of any
of the obligations herein contained to be kept and performed by Landlord shall
be deemed waived by Tenant unless such claim is asserted by written notice to
Landlord within ninety (90) days after the commencement of the alleged
default.  Any breach by Tenant of any
provision of this Lease shall not be deemed waived by (a) the receipt and
retention by Landlord of Fixed Rent or additional rent from anyone other than
Tenant or (b) the acceptance of such other person as a tenant or (c) a release
of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of the provisions of this
Lease or (d) the receipt and retention by Landlord of Fixed Rent or additional
rent with

knowledge of the breach of any provision of this Lease.  No payment by Tenant or receipt or retention
by Landlord of a lesser amount than any Fixed Rent or additional rent herein
stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of any check or any
letter accompanying any check or payment as such 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 in this Lease provided.  No
executory agreement hereafter made between Landlord and Tenant shall be
effective to change, modify, waive, release, discharge, terminate or effect an
abandonment of this Lease, in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement
is in writing, refers expressly to this Lease and is signed by the party
against whom enforcement of the change, modification, waiver, release,
discharge or termination or effectuation of the abandonment is sought.

hereof.  It is understood and agreed,
however, that the covenants and obligations on the part of Landlord under this
Lease shall not be binding upon Landlord herein named with respect to any
period subsequent to the transfer of its interest in the Building (provided
Landlord’s transferee assumes all such subsequent obligations), that in the

observed and performed, and (e) Partnership Tenant shall give prompt notice to
Landlord of the admission of any such new partners, and upon demand of
Landlord, shall cause each such new partner to execute and deliver to Landlord
an agreement in form satisfactory to Landlord, wherein each such new partner
shall assume performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this
Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed (but neither Landlord’s
failure to request any such agreement nor the failure of any such new partner
to execute or deliver any such agreement to Landlord shall vitiate the
provisions of subdivision (d) of this Section).

account (and Tenant shall pay Landlord’s charge therefor) of Tenant, without

and any charges for other similar or dissimilar services incurred under this

additional rent under this Lease.  If any
Fixed Rent, additional rent or any other costs, charges, expenses or
disbursements payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord are not paid
within seven (7) business days after the same is due, the same shall bear
interest at the Default Rate from the due date thereof until paid and the
amount of such interest shall be additional rent.

 

Section 20.02         In the event that Tenant is in arrears
in payment of Fixed Rent or additional rent or any other charge, Tenant waives
Tenant’s right, if any, to designate the items against which any payments made
by Tenant are to be credited, and Tenant agrees that Landlord may apply any
payments made by Tenant to any items Landlord sees fit, irrespective of and

Electricity and Water

 

Section 24.01         For the purpose of this Article, the
term “Electric Rate” shall mean an amount equal to the actual cost to Landlord,
including all applicable taxes, demand charges, fuel factors, transfer
adjustment factors, or any other charges of the utility, of all electricity
purchased for the Building plus *** percent (***%) of the total amount thereof
as an administrative charge to Landlord. 
Subject to the provisions of this Article 24, Landlord shall
furnish electric energy to the Premises on a submetering basis for the purposes
permitted under this Lease and Tenant shall purchase the same from Landlord at
the Electric Rate as applied to the electric energy consumed in the Premises,
as measured by a meter or meters, maintained and installed by Landlord at
Landlord’s expense (which installation may include the addition of, or the
modification of the existing, risers, feeders, wiring and other conductors and
equipment, any and all of which shall be paid for by Tenant) at such location
or locations as Landlord shall determine, it being understood that the meters
so installed may include a meter relating to the demand factor aspect of such
consumption of electric energy.

 

Section 24.02         Tenant covenants and agrees that at no
time will the connected electrical load in the Premises exceed 8.2 watts per
usable square foot which 8.2 watts are to be used only for Tenant’s lighting,
supplemental air conditioning and any other power requirements, but not the
Building’s air conditioning or other base Building systems.  Landlord shall furnish and install, at Tenant’s
reasonable expense, all replacement lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts
required in the Premises.

 

Section 24.03         Tenant’s use of electric energy in the
Premises and/or the Building’s telephone network shall not at any time exceed
the capacity of any of the equipment in or otherwise serving the Premises.  In order to ensure that such capacities are
not exceeded and to avert possible adverse effect upon the Building’s electric
service and/or the Building’s telephone network, Tenant shall not, without
Landlord’s prior consent in each instance (i) connect any fixtures, appliances
or equipment to the Building’s electric distribution system or make any
alteration or addition to the electric system of the Premises existing on the
Term Commencement Date other than personal computers, typewriters, lamps, desk
calculators, photocopier and similar small office appliances or (ii) connect

telecommunication devices to the Building’s telephone network in excess
of that which an ordinary office installation would connect.  Should Landlord grant such consent(s), all
additional risers or other equipment required therefor shall be provided by
Landlord and Landlord’s charge therefor (as well as any charge for any future
maintenance or repair thereof) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten
(10) days after demand.  As part of
Tenant’s Changes, Tenant shall, at its sole expense, have the right to run
within the Premises local distribution of electrical power in BX cable as may
be permitted under all applicable laws, rules, regulations and codes.

 

Section 24.04         Provided Landlord does not act in a
manner discriminatory to Tenant, Landlord reserves the right to discontinue
furnishing electric energy to Tenant in the Premises at any time upon not less
than 90 days’ notice to Tenant.  If
Landlord exercises such right, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except that from and after the
effective date of such termination Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish
electric energy to Tenant and Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Landlord for
any electric energy furnished to the Premises. If Landlord so discontinues
furnishing electric energy to Tenant, Tenant shall arrange to obtain electric energy
directly from the public utility company furnishing electric energy to the
Building.  Such electric energy may be
furnished to Tenant by means of the then existing building system feeders,
risers and wiring to the extent that the same are available, suitable and safe
for such purpose.  All meters and
additional panel boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and
equipment which may be required to obtain electric energy directly from such
public utility company shall be furnished and installed by Landlord at Landlord’s
expense.

 

Section 24.05         Where water is furnished to the
Premises by Landlord for purposes other than for (i) normal office use, (ii)
Landlord’s air conditioning equipment during Business Hours, and (iii)
drinking, lavatory or toilet facilities in the core area of the Premises,
Tenant shall pay a reasonable amount (not to exceed that charged by comparable
first-class midtown Manhattan office buildings) for the same and for any
required pumping and heating thereof as well as any taxes, sewer rents or other
charges which may be imposed by the city or other governmental authority or
agency thereof based on the quantity of water so used by Tenant.  In no event shall Landlord be obligated to
provide hot water to the Premises, only warm water to the core public
bathrooms.  Tenant shall also pay to
Landlord on demand,

as additional rent, Landlord’s
then-existing Building charge, plus any taxes or other charges which may be
imposed by any governmental authority thereon, for such condenser water as may
be requested (irrespective of actual use) by Tenant within sixty (60) days
after the date hereof (up to 30 tons per annum) for any supplemental (above
Building Standard) air conditioning units servicing the Premises.  Tenant shall also pay Landlord’s one-time
then Building Standard tap-in charge for such condenser water, which is agreed
to be $**** per ton.

 

Section 24.06         Subject

electricity, water or telephone network access and/or service furnished to the
Premises unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

 

Section 24.07         Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the amounts from time to time billed
by Landlord pursuant to the provisions hereof, each such bill to be paid within
ten (10) business days after the same has been rendered.  If any tax is imposed upon Landlord’s
receipts from the sale or resale of electric energy to Tenant under federal,
state, municipal or other law, such tax may, to the extent permitted by law, be
passed on by Landlord to Tenant and be included as additional rent, in the
bills payable by Tenant hereunder.

 

Section 24.08         Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Article 24 to the contrary (a) if the law
or utility servicing the Building requires Tenant to convert the method by
which it receives electricity, then the cost to so convert shall be split
equally between Landlord and Tenant and (b) if the conversion is required
by Landlord and not the law or the utility servicing the Building, then the
cost to so convert shall be paid by Landlord.

Assignment, Mortgaging, Subletting, Etc

 

Section 25.01         Tenant
shall not, whether directly, indirectly, voluntarily, involuntarily, or by
operation of law or otherwise (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease or
the term and estate hereby granted or any interest herein or offer or advertise
to do so, (b) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or offer or advertise to
do so, or allow the same to be used, occupied or utilized by anyone other than
Tenant, or (c) mortgage, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest in or
otherwise hypothecate this Lease or the Premises or any interest therein or any
part thereof in any manner whatsoever, without in each instance obtaining the
prior written consent of Landlord.

 

Section 25.02         If
Tenant is a corporation, partnership or other entity, the provisions of
subdivision (a) of Section 25.01 shall apply to (i) a transfer of any
percentage interest of the stock or beneficial ownership interest, as the case
may be, of Tenant (at any level and however accomplished, whether in a single
transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions); (ii) a
transfer by operation of law or otherwise, of Tenant’s interest in this Lease;
and/or (iii) any increase in the amount of issued and/or outstanding shares of
capital stock of any corporate Tenant (or partnership interests of any
partnership Tenant) and/or the creation of one or more additional classes of
capital stock of any corporate Tenant (or partnership interests of any
partnership Tenant) (however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or
in a series of related or unrelated transactions), with the result that the
Tenant shall no longer be controlled by the beneficial and record owners of the
capital stock of such corporate Tenant (or partnership interests in the case of
a partnership) as of the date Tenant executed this Lease.  Notwithstanding the above, the provisions of
subdivision (a) of Section 25.01 shall not apply to transactions with a
corporation or other entity into or with which Tenant is merged

 

52

 

or consolidated or to which all
or substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any corporation
or other entity which controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common
control with Tenant, provided that in any of such events the successor to
Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles equal to or greater than the net worth of Tenant
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer and Tenant is
ultimately controlled by the same persons who controlled Tenant immediately
prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer and Tenant provides Landlord
with satisfactory evidence of the same at least thirty (30) days prior to such
merger, consolidation or asset transfer; provided, however, this
exception shall not apply in the situation where Tenant is a shell corporation
(i.e., either Tenant has no or minimal assets or all or substantially
all of Tenant’s assets are located at the Premises and it derives all or
substantially all of its income from operations at the Premises).  In the event that Tenant is a shell
corporation, any such merger, consolidation or asset transfer shall be subject
to Section 25.01.  Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Article 25 to the contrary, ARCHIPELAGO HOLDINGS,
INC. (“ARCHIPELAGO”) may assign this Lease and/or sublease the Premises or any
portion thereof to any entity which controls ARCHIPELAGO, ARCHIPELAGO controls
and/or is under common control with ARCHIPELAGO, without having to obtain
Landlord’s prior written consent (and shall not be subject to Section 25.06)
provided that (a) ARCHIPELAGO is not in default beyond the expiration of any
applicable notice and cure period of any of the terms or conditions of this
Lease at the time of the making of such assignment or sublease or the time such
assignment or sublease is to take effect or commence, as the case may be, (b)
ARCHIPELAGO provides Landlord with ten (10) business days’ prior written notice
thereof along with a fully executed copy of the assignment or sublease, (c)
ARCHIPELAGO provides Landlord, from time to time (initially as well as any time
thereafter), within five (5) business days’ after Landlord requests the same,
such evidence and/or affidavits as Landlord may require in order to confirm
whether the above-described control test is satisfied, (d) ARCHIPELAGO and the
assignee or subtenant, as the case may be, executes Landlord’s then standard
form of consent to assignment or sublease, as the case may be, and Tenant
reimburses Landlord for Landlord’s legal and administrative fees in connection
therewith and (e) said assignee or subtenant continues at all times thereafter
to satisfy the above-described control test.

Section 25.03         If
this Lease be assigned, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this
Lease, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, and expiration of Tenant’s time
to cure such default, collect rent from the assignee.  If the Premises or any part thereof are
sublet or used or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether or not in
violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, and expiration
of Tenant’s time to cure such default, collect rent from the subtenant or
occupant.  In either event, Landlord may
apply the net amount collected to the Fixed Rent and additional rent herein
reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be
deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 25.01, or the acceptance of
the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or as a release of Tenant from
the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  The consent by Landlord to assignment,
mortgaging, subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not in any way be
considered to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of
Landlord to any other or further assignment, mortgaging, subletting or use or
occupancy by others not expressly permitted by this Article.  References in this Lease to use or occupancy
by others, that is anyone other than Tenant, shall not be construed as limited
to subtenants and those claiming under or through subtenants but as including
also licensees and others claiming under or through Tenant, immediately or
remotely.

 

Section 25.04         Any
assignment or transfer, whether made with or without Landlord’s consent
pursuant to Section 25.01 or Section 25.02, shall be made only if, and shall
not be effective until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
Landlord an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby
the assignee shall assume the obligations of this Lease on the part of Tenant
to be performed or observed and whereby the assignee shall agree that the
provisions in Section 25.01 shall, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer,
continue to be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and
transfers. Tenant covenants that, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer
(including by way of asset transfer), whether or not in violation of the
provisions of this Lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of Fixed Rent
and/or additional rent by Landlord from an assignee, transferee, or any other
party, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the Fixed Rent and
additional rents and for the other obligations of this Lease on the part of
Tenant to be performed or observed.

Section 25.05         The
joint and several liability of Tenant and any immediate or remote
successor-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of the obligations of
this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed shall not be
discharged, released or impaired in any respect by any agreement or stipulation
made by Landlord extending the time of, or modifying any of the obligations of,
this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce any of the
obligations of this Lease.

 

Section 25.06         Notwithstanding
anything contained to the contrary in Sections 25.01 or 25.02 of this Article,
if Tenant shall at any time or times during the term of this Lease desire to
assign this Lease (other than an assignment or sublease to be made pursuant to
Section 25.02 without Landlord’s consent) or sublet all or part of the
Premises, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which notice shall be
accompanied by (a) a conformed or photostatic copy of the proposed assignment
or sublease, or a term sheet in lieu thereof, the effective or commencement
date of which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the giving of such
notice, (b) a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the identity of the
proposed assignee or sub-tenant, the nature of its business and its proposed
use of the Premises, and (c) current financial information with respect to the
proposed assignee or subtenant, including without limitation, its most recent
financial report.  Such notice shall be
deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord (or Landlord’s
designee) may, at its option, (i) sublease such space from Tenant upon the
terms and conditions herein set forth (if the proposed transaction is a
sublease of part of the Premises for a term, including renewal options, which
does not extend into the last two years of the Lease), (ii) terminate this
Lease (if the proposed transaction is an assignment or a sublease of all the
Premises), or (iii) terminate this Lease with respect to the space covered by
the proposed sublease (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of part of the
Premises other than a sublease referred to in clause (i) hereof).  Said option may be exercised by Landlord by
notice to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after such notice has been
given by Tenant to Landlord; and during such thirty (30) day period Tenant shall
not assign this Lease or sublet such space to any person.

 

Section 25.07         If
Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease in the case where Tenant
desires either to assign this Lease or sublet all the Premises, then, the

Expiration Date shall be the
date that such assignment or sublet was to be effective or commence, as the
case may be.

 

Section 25.08         If
Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease in part, in any case
where Tenant desires to sublet part of the Premises, then, (a) the Expiration
Date with respect to such part of the Premises shall be the date that the
proposed sublease was to commence; (b) from and after such Expiration Date the
Fixed Rent and additional rent shall be adjusted, based upon the proportion
that the rentable area of the Premises remaining bears to the total rentable
area of the Premises; and (c) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand,
Landlord’s reasonable charge for physically separating such part of the
Premises from the balance of the Premises.

 

Section 25.09         If
Landlord exercises its option to sublet the portion(s) of the Premises which
Tenant desires to sublet, such sublease to Landlord or its designee (as
subtenant) shall be at the lower of (i) the rental rate per rentable square
foot of Fixed Rent and additional rent then payable pursuant to this Lease or
(ii) the rentals set forth in the proposed sublease, and shall be for the same
term as that of the proposed subletting, and:

 

(a)  The sublease shall be expressly subject to
all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease
except such as are irrelevant or inapplicable, and except as otherwise
expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section;

 

(b)  Such sublease shall be upon the same terms
and conditions as those contained in the proposed sublease, except such as are
irrelevant or inapplicable and except as otherwise expressly set forth to the
contrary in this Section;

 

(c)  Such sublease shall give the sublessee the unqualified
and unrestricted right, without Tenant’s permission, to assign such sublease or
any interest therein and/or to sublet the space covered by such sublease or any
part or parts of such space;

 

(d)  Such sublease shall provide that the
sublessee or any assignee or further subtenant of Landlord or its designee may,
at the election of Landlord, be permitted to make alterations, decorations, and
installations in such space or any part thereof and shall also provide in
substance that any such alterations, decorations and installations in such
space made

 

56

 

therein by the sublessee or any
assignee or subtenant of Landlord or its designee shall be removed by such
sublessee, assignee or subtenant prior to or upon the expiration or other
termination of such sublease and the subleased space shall be restored to its
condition immediately prior to such sublease and that such sublessee, assignee
or subtenant, at its expense, shall repair any damage and injury to such space
so sublet caused by such removal or restoration; and

 

(e)  Such sublease shall also provide that (i) the
parties to such sublease expressly negate any intention that any estate created
under such sublease be merged with any other estate held by either of said
parties, (ii) any assignment or subletting by Landlord or its designee (as the
subtenant) may be for any purpose or purposes that Landlord, in Landlord’s
uncontrolled discretion, shall deem suitable or appropriate (but no such use
shall constitute a default by Tenant), (iii) Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall
and will 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, (iv) Landlord, at Tenant’s reasonable expense, may make such
alterations as may be required or deemed necessary by Landlord to physically
separate the subleased space from the balance of the Premises, and (v) that at
the expiration of the term of such sublease, Tenant will accept the space
covered by such sublease in its then existing condition, subject to the
obligations of the sublessee to restore and make such repairs thereto as may be
necessary to preserve the Premises demised by such sublease in good order and
condition and subject to subdivision (d) above.

 

Section 25.10         In
the event Landlord does not exercise its options pursuant to Section 25.06 to
so sublet the Premises or terminate this Lease in whole or in part and
providing that Tenant is not in default of any of Tenant’s obligations under
this Lease, Landlord’s consent (which must be in writing and in form
satisfactory to Landlord) to the proposed assignment or sublease shall not be
unreasonably withheld, or delayed, provided and upon condition that all of the
following are satisfied:

 

(a)  Tenant shall have complied with the
provisions of Section 25.06 and Landlord shall not have exercised any of its
options under said Section 25.06 within the time permitted therefor;

 

(b)  In Landlord’s reasonable judgment the
proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in a business, and its proposed 

 

57

 

use of the Premises (or a
portion thereof) is, appropriate for and in keeping with the then standards of
the Building and consistent with the character and quality of the existing
tenancies thereof; and the proposed use (i) is limited to the use expressly
permitted under Section 1.03 and (ii) will not violate any negative covenant as
to use contained in any other lease of space in the Building;

 

(c)  The financial condition and the general
reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant is commensurate with:  (i) the responsibility involved in the
proposed assignment or sublease and (ii) the character and dignity of the
Building and the existing tenancies thereof, and Landlord has been furnished
with reasonable proof of all of the foregoing;

 

(d)  Neither (i) the proposed assignee or
subtenant nor (ii) any person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed assignee or
subtenant, is then an occupant of any part of the Building, provided Landlord
then has available for lease in the Building (or will have available within the
next three (3) months) comparable space in terms of size, location and term;

 

(e)  The proposed assignee or subtenant is not a
person with whom Landlord is then negotiating to lease space in the Building;
nor a person, entity or business subject to compliance with any legal
requirements beyond those requirements applicable to Tenant; nor will the
nature of its occupancy cause an excessive density of employees or traffic
within the Building, or make excessive demands on the Building’s services or
facilities, or in any other way lessen the character or dignity of the Building;

 

(f)  The form of the proposed assignment or
sublease shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Article and
otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Landlord; and Tenant and the proposed
assignee or subtenant shall execute a Consent to Assignment or Subletting in
form acceptable to Landlord;

 

(g)  There shall not be more than two (2)
subtenants per floor (including Landlord or its designee) of the Premises;

 

(h) The rental

hereof;

Landlord’s then Building Standard legal and administrative fees in connection
with said assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, the costs of
making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or
subtenant;

 

(j)  Tenant shall not have (i) advertised or
publicized in any way the availability of the Premises or any part thereof
without prior notice to and reasonable approval by Landlord (except Tenant may
list the same with a broker(s)), nor shall any advertisement state the name (as
distinguished from the address) of the Building or the proposed rental, or (ii)
listed the Premises for subletting, whether through a broker, agent,
representative, or otherwise at a rental rate less than the rate that is then
being asked for direct space in the Building; and

 

(k)           The proposed assignee or subtenant
shall not be (x) entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign
immunity and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the
jurisdiction of the courts of, the State of New York nor (y) a charitable,
religious, union or other not-for-profit organization or any tax exempt entity
within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor or substitute
statute, or rule or regulation.

 

Except for any
subletting by Tenant to Landlord or its designee pursuant to the provisions of
this Article, each subletting pursuant to this Article shall be subject to all
the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this
Lease.  Notwithstanding any such
subletting to Landlord or any such subletting to any other subtenant and/or
acceptance of rent or additional rent by Landlord from any subtenant, Tenant
shall and will remain fully liable for the payment of the Fixed Rent and
additional rent due and to become due hereunder and for the performance of all
the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this
Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed and all acts and omissions of any
licensee or subtenant or anyone claiming under or through any subtenant which
shall be in violation of any of the obligations of this Lease, and any such
violation shall be deemed a violation by Tenant.  Tenant further agrees that notwithstanding
any such subletting, no other and further subletting of the Premises by Tenant
or any person claiming through or under Tenant (except as provided in Section
25.09) shall or will be made except upon compliance with and subject to the
provisions of this Article.  If Landlord
shall decline to give its consent to any proposed

 

59

 

assignment or subtenant or if
Landlord shall exercise any of its options under Section 25.06, Tenant shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all loss,
liability, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements)
resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed
assignee or subtenant or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission
or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.

 

Section 25.11         In
the event that (a) Landlord fails to exercise any of its options under Section
25.06 and consents to a proposed assignment or sublease, and (b) Tenant fails
to execute and deliver the assignment or sublease to which Landlord consented
within ninety (90) days after the giving of such consent, then, Tenant shall
again comply with all the provisions and conditions of Section 25.06 before
assigning this Lease or subletting all or part of the Premises.

 

Section 25.12         With
respect to each and every sublease or subletting authorized by Landlord under
the provisions of this Lease, it is further agreed:

 

(a)  The subletting shall be for a term ending
prior to the Expiration Date.

 

(b)  No sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant
shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, until an executed
counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord.

 

(c)  Each sublease shall be deemed to provide that
it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this
Lease is or shall be subordinate, and that Section 27.04 shall govern in the
event of termination, re-entry or dispossess by Landlord or successor landlord
under this Lease.

case of an assignment, an amount equal to *** percent (***%) of all sums and
other considerations paid to

Tenant by the assignee for or
by reason of such assignment and after deducting reasonable legal fees, the
cost of reasonable alterations and reasonable brokerage and advertising fees;
and

 

(b) in the
case of a sublease, *** percent (***%) of any rents, additional rent or other
consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant in excess
of the Fixed Rent and additional rent accruing during the term of the sublease
in respect of the subleased space (at the rate per square foot payable by
Tenant hereunder) pursuant to the terms hereof (including, but not limited to,
sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less, in the case of the
sale thereof, the then depreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of
Tenant’s federal income tax returns) and after deducting (on an amortized basis
over the term of the sublease) reasonable legal fees, the cost of reasonable
alterations and reasonable brokerage and advertising fees.  The sums payable under this Section 25.13(b)
shall be paid to Landlord as and when received by Tenant.

 

Section 25.14         (a)           Landlord may, at the request of
Tenant, maintain listings on the Building directory (to the extent the same
exists) of the names of Tenant and any other person, firm, association or
corporation in occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof as permitted
hereunder, and the names of any officers or employees of any of the foregoing;
provided, however, that the number of names so listed shall be in no greater
proportion to the capacity of the Building directory as the aggregate number of
square feet of rentable area of the Premises is to the aggregate number of
square feet of rentable area of the Building. 
The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors
of the Premises, on the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to
vest in said person or entity any right or interest in the Lease or in the
Premises or any portions thereof or be deemed to be the consent of Landlord
(written or otherwise) mentioned in this Article 25.  It is expressly understood that any such
listing is a privilege extended by Landlord revocable at will by written notice
to Tenant.

 

(b)           Subject to compliance with all legal
or insurance requirements and the provisions of Section 5.01(e) of this Lease,
Tenant may install, at Tenant’s cost and expense, one (1) sign identifying
Tenant on the floor in which it is in occupancy, the location, size, design and
appearance of any such sign shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable
approval.  Tenant, at its cost and
expense, shall maintain, repair and replace such sign in

determine.  Upon the Expiration Date or
sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant, at its cost and expense, shall remove
such sign and repair any damage caused by such removal.

of not less than ten (10) years) an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate
Share of the reasonable annual amortization of such cost (together with
reasonable interest thereon).

 

Section 26.05         Landlord
shall furnish to Tenant, prior to the commencement of each Operating Year or
Tax Year, as the case may be, a written statement setting forth Landlord’s
reasonable estimate of the Tax Payment or the Operating Payment, as the case
may be, and in the case of any Operating Year, pursuant to Section 26.03
hereof, and, in case of any Tax Year, pursuant to Section 26.02 hereof.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day
of each month during such Operating Year or Tax Year, as the case may be, an
amount equal to one-twelfth of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Operating
Payment for such Operating Year or the Tax Payment for such Tax Year.  If,

however, Landlord shall furnish
any such estimate for an Operating Year or a Tax Year subsequent to the
commencement thereof, then (a) until the first day of the month following the
month in which such 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 in respect of the last month
of the preceding Operating Year or Tax Year; (b) promptly after such estimate
is furnished to Tenant, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether
the installments of the Operating Payment or Tax Payment previously made for
such Operating Year or Tax Year, as the case may be, were greater or less than
the installments of the Operating Payment or Tax Payment to be made for such
Operating Year or Tax Year in accordance with such estimate, and (i) if there
shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within ten (10)
business days after demand therefor, or (ii) if there shall have been an
overpayment, Landlord shall refund within ten (10) business days to Tenant the
amount thereof; and (c) on the first day of the month following the month in
which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, and monthly thereafter throughout
the remainder of such Operating Year or Tax Year, as the case may be, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Operating
Payment or Tax Payment, as the case may be, shown on such estimate.

 

Section 26.06         Landlord
shall furnish to Tenant an Escalation Statement for each Operating Year and for
each Tax Year.  If the Escalation
Statement shall show that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 26.05 exceeded
the Tax Payment or Operating Payment to be paid by Tenant for such Tax Year or
Operating Year, as the case may be, Landlord shall refund within ten (10)
business days to Tenant the amount of such excess; and if the Escalation
Statement for such Tax Year or Operating Year, as the case may be, shall show
that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than the Tax Payment or Operating
Payment, as the case may be, to be paid by Tenant for such Tax Year or
Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within ten (10)
business days after demand therefor.

 

Section 26.07         In
case the Real Estate Taxes for any Tax Year or part thereof shall be reduced
during the term hereof after Tenant shall have paid Tenant’s Proportionate
Share of any increase thereof in respect of such Tax Year pursuant to Section
26.06 hereof, Landlord shall credit or refund (upon Tenant’s request) to Tenant
Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the refund of such taxes received by
Landlord.  If, after an Escalation

 

65

 

Statement has been sent to
Tenant during the term hereof, the assessed valuation which had been utilized
in determining the Real Estate Base Tax is reduced (as a result of settlement,
final determination of legal proceedings or otherwise), then, and in such event
(a) the Real Estate Tax Base shall be retroactively adjusted to reflect such
reduction and (b) all retroactive additional rent resulting from such
retroactive adjustment shall be forthwith payable when billed by Landlord.  Landlord shall send to Tenant a statement
setting forth the basis for such retroactive adjustment and additional rent
payments.

 

Section 26.08         Intentionally
deleted.

 

Section 26.09         Payments
shall be made pursuant to this Article 26 notwithstanding the fact that an
Escalation Statement is furnished to Tenant within twenty-four (24) months
after the Expiration Date and any delay or failure of Landlord in billing any
additional rent provided for in this Article 26 shall not constitute a waiver
of or in any way impair the continuing obligation of Tenant to pay such
additional rent hereunder.

 

Section 26.10         Provided
that Tenant is not in default hereunder, if Tenant’s Operating Payment
increases by more than *** percent (****%) from one Operating Year to the next
Operating Year, then, within sixty (60) days after the submission of the
Escalation Statement indicating such increase, Landlord shall allow Tenant or
Tenant’s agents, upon ten (10) business days advance notice to Landlord, to
examine, during Business Hours at Landlord’s office where such records are
kept, such books purchase orders, invoices, payrolls and other records in
Landlord’s possession as may be reasonably necessary in order to permit Tenant
to verify the information set forth in such Escalation Statement with respect
to Operating Expenses (an “Audit”).  Any
such Audit may only be conducted by an independent accounting firm approved by
Landlord that is not being compensated by Tenant on a contingency fee
basis.  Tenant and its agents shall keep
all information which they are shown in connection with any Audit confidential
and shall not reveal the same to any third party except as may be required by
law.  Landlord shall have the right to
precondition any verification right provided hereunder upon the execution by
Tenant and the person conducting such Audit of a confidentiality agreement in
such form as required by Landlord. 
Tenant shall deliver to

Landlord a copy of the results
of such Audit within fifteen (15) days after completion or receipt by Tenant of
such results.  In the event that Tenant
fails to initiate such Audit within said sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall
have no further right to challenge or contest the accuracy of the applicable
Escalation Statement.  No assignee of the
Tenant named herein (except assignees permitted without Landlord’s consent
pursuant to Section 25.02 hereof)shall have any right to conduct an Audit for
any period during which such assignee was not in possession of the Premises and
no subtenant shall have any right to conduct an Audit.  Within ten (10) days after demand therefor,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket
costs of Landlord’s personnel and representatives who are involved in such
Audit.

 

Section 26.11         In
no event shall (x) the Fixed Rent under this Lease (exclusive of the additional
rent under this Article) be reduced by virtue of this Article or (y) Tenant be
entitled to a credit against the payment of any additional rent that may be due
under this Lease (including this Article 26) by reason of the fact that (i)
Operating Expenses in any Operating Year are less than Base Year Operating
Expenses and/or (ii) Real Estate Taxes for any Tax Year are less than the Real
Estate Tax Base.

Subordination

 

Section 27.01         This
Lease is subject and subordinate in all respects to all ground leases and/or
underlying leases now or hereafter covering the real property or any portion
thereof of which the Premises form a part and to all mortgages and trust
indentures which may now or hereafter be placed on or affect such leases and/or
the real property of which the Premises form a part, or any part or parts of
such real property, and/or Landlord’s interest therein, and to each advance
made and/or hereafter to be made under any such mortgages, or indentures and to
all renewals, modifications, consolidations, increases, recastings, replacements,
extensions and substitutions of and for such ground leases and/or underlying
leases and/or mortgages or indentures (each lease or mortgage to which this
Lease shall be subject and subordinate pursuant to the provisions hereof being
respectively herein called a “superior lease” or a “superior mortgage”).  This Section 27.01 shall be self-operative
and no further instrument of subordination shall be required.  In

 

67

 

confirmation of such
subordination, Tenant shall execute, at its sole cost and expense, and deliver
promptly any certificate that Landlord and/or any lessor under any superior
lease and/or any holder of any superior mortgage and/or their respective
successors in interest may request. 
Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord and/or any lessor under
any superior lease and/or any holder of any superior mortgage and/or their
respective successors in interest as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute and
deliver any such certificate or certificates for and on behalf of Tenant.  Landlord agrees to obtain a subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement in favor of Tenant from the current
holder of any superior mortgage in substantially the same form as such holder’s
customary form.  Landlord shall use
reasonable efforts to cause the holder of any future superior mortgage to
execute and exchange with Tenant, a non-disturbance agreement in such holder’s
customary form, but neither this Lease nor any of Tenant’s obligations under
this Lease shall in any way be affected or modified if such future holder
declines to execute and exchange such non-disturbance agreement with Tenant.

 

Section 27.02         In
the event of any act or omission of Landlord that would give Tenant the right,
immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this
Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not be entitled to
exercise such right:

 

(a)  unless and until Tenant has given prompt
written notice of such act or omission to the lessor under each superior lease
and the holder of each superior mortgage, whose name and address shall
previously have been furnished to Tenant in writing; and

 

(b)  unless such act or omission shall be one
which is not capable of being remedied by Landlord or such lessor or such
holder within a reasonable period of time, until a reasonable period for
remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such
notice and following the time when the lessor under such superior lease or the holder
of such superior mortgage shall have become entitled under such lease or such
mortgage, as the case may be, to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall
in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under
this Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided
such lessor or such holder shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice
of intention to, and commence and continue to remedy such act or omission.

 

68

 

Section 27.03         Tenant
covenants that neither the termination of any superior lease or any superior
mortgage, nor the institution of any suit, action or other proceeding by the lessor
under any such superior lease or the holder of any such superior mortgage to
recover possession of the Premises leased or mortgaged under any such superior
lease or any such superior mortgage or to realize on the mortgagor’s interest
under any such superior mortgage in any such superior lease (provided that
Tenant is not otherwise disturbed by the lessor under any such superior lease
or the holder of any such superior mortgage) shall, by operation of law or
otherwise, result in the cancellation or termination of this Lease (unless
specific action is taken by the lessor under any such superior lease or the
holder of any such superior mortgage to terminate this Lease) or the
obligations of Tenant hereunder.  If the
lessor under any superior lease or the holder of any superior mortgage, or the
purchaser upon any foreclosure sale relating to such superior mortgage, or any
designee of such lessor or such holder shall succeed to the rights of Landlord
under this Lease, whether through possession, or any action or proceeding
relating to the termination of such superior lease, or foreclosure action or
delivery of a new lease or deed, then, at the request of such party so
succeeding to Landlord’s rights (such party being sometimes herein called a “successor
landlord”) and upon such successor landlord’s written agreement to accept
Tenant’s attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such successor
landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and
deliver, at Tenant’s sole expense, any instrument that such successor landlord
may reasonably request to evidence such attornment and none of the
above-described successions shall, by operation of law or otherwise, result in
the cancellation or termination of this Lease (unless specific action is taken
by such successor landlord to terminate this Lease) or the obligations of
Tenant.  In the event successor landlord
requests Tenant to execute an attornment, Tenant shall acquire no rights with
respect to said successor landlord until the attornment has been executed.  Upon such attornment, this Lease shall
continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between
the successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and
covenants set forth in this Lease, except that the successor landlord shall
not:

 

(a)  be liable for any previous act or omission of
Landlord under this Lease;

 

69

 

(b)  be subject to any offset, not expressly
provided for in this Lease, which shall have theretofore accrued to Tenant
against Landlord; or

 

(c)  be bound by any previous modification of this
Lease, not expressly provided for in this Lease, or by any previous prepayment
of more than one month’s Fixed Rent or additional rent, unless such
modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by the
lessor under the superior lease or the holder of the superior mortgage (or
permitted without such approval if permitted under the terms of the superior
mortgage) through or by reason of which the successor landlord shall have
succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this Lease.

 

Section 27.04         In
the event of termination, cancellation, re-entry or dispossess by Landlord or a
successor landlord under this Lease Tenant shall, at Landlord’s or the
successor landlord’s request, execute an assignment by Tenant to Landlord or
the successor landlord of Tenant’s interest as sublessor under any subleases to
this Lease, and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord or the successor landlord as
Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute any such assignment upon Tenant’s failure
or refusal to do so and shall execute any necessary documents to confirm said
appointment upon Landlord’s or the successor landlord’s request.

 

At Landlord’s
or successor landlord’s option, sublessee shall attorn to Landlord or the
successor landlord and upon such attornment, the sublease shall continue in
full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between Landlord or
the successor landlord and sublessee upon all the terms, conditions and
covenants set forth in, at Landlord’s or successor landlord’s option, the Lease
or the sublease, except that Landlord or the successor landlord shall not:

 

(a) be liable
for any previous act or omission of sublessor under the sublease;

 

(b) be subject
to any offset, which shall have theretofore accrued to sublessee against
sublessor; or

 

(c) be bound
by any previous modification of the sublease, not expressly provided for in the
sublease, or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s Fixed Rent or
additional rent, unless such modification or prepayment shall

 

70

 

have been expressly approved in
writing by the Landlord under the Lease, the lessor under the superior lease or
the holder of the superior mortgage through or by reason of which the successor
landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of sublessor under the sublease, as
the case may be.

 

In the event
that Landlord or a successor landlord, as the case may be, does not request
Tenant to assign its interest in the sublease or have sublessee attorn to
Landlord or the successor landlord, as the case may be, then Landlord or
successor landlord, as the case may be, shall have the right to terminate the
sublease immediately at any time after termination or cancellation of this
Lease or re-entry or dispossess by Landlord or a successor landlord under this
Lease.

 

All subleases
made in accordance with this Lease shall be subject to the above provision.

 

Section 27.05         In
the event the holder of any mortgage or the lessor of any lease (present or future)
relating to the Premises and/or this Lease requests that (a) this Lease and
Tenant’s rights hereunder be made superior, rather than subordinate, to such
mortgage or lease and/or (b) Tenant enter into a subordination non-disturbance
and attornment agreement, then Tenant, within ten (10) days after written
request, will execute and deliver without charge such agreement(s) in such
form(s) acceptable to the holder of such mortgage or lessor of such lease.  In any instance where the consent of any
holder of any superior lease or superior mortgage is required to be given in
connection with any matter relating to this Lease, Landlord shall not be
required to give its consent to such matter unless and until such required
consent is given and Landlord shall not be found to have unreasonably withheld
its consent if such required consent is withheld by any superior lease or
superior mortgage.

 

Section 27.06         If
Tenant fails to execute and deliver any documents as and when required by this
Article 27, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, without
the requirement of notice from Landlord such failure will constitute a default
under this Lease beyond any applicable grace period, entitling Landlord to the
same rights and remedies as if such default were with respect to nonpayment of
Fixed Rent.

Section 28.02         Tenant
hereby represents, covenants and agrees that Tenant’s business is not photographic
reproductions and/or documentary reproductions and/or offset printing.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Lease to the contrary, Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant will not use the
Premises or any part thereof, or permit the Premises or any part thereof to be
used, for the business of photographic reproductions and/or

 

72

 

documentary reproductions
and/or offset printing.  Nothing
contained in this Section 28.02 shall preclude Tenant from using any part of
the Premises for photographic reproductions and/or documentary reproductions
and/or offset printing in connection with, either directly or indirectly, its
own business and/or activities.

 

Section 28.03         If,
in connection with obtaining financing for the Building, a banking, insurance
or other recognized institutional lender shall request reasonable modifications
in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably
withhold, delay or defer its consent thereto, provided that such modifications
do not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely
affect the leasehold interest hereby created.

 

Section 28.04         If,
at any time during the last month of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall have
removed all or substantially all of Tenant’s property from the Premises,
Landlord may, and Tenant hereby irrevocably grants to Landlord a license to,
immediately enter and alter, renovate and redecorate the Premises, without
limitation, diminution or abatement of rent, or incurring liability to Tenant
for any compensation, and such acts shall have no effect upon this Lease.

 

Section 28.05         Tenant
shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the floor load
per square foot which such floor was designed to carry and such load shall be
placed by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, so as to properly distribute the
weight.  Business machines and mechanical
equipment shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, in
settings sufficient in Landlord’s judgment to absorb and prevent vibration,
noise and annoyance.  If the Premises be
or become infested with vermin as a result of the use or any misuse or neglect
of the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, visitors or licensees, Tenant
shall at Tenant’s expense cause the same to be exterminated from time to time
to the satisfaction of Landlord and shall employ such exterminators and such
exterminating company or companies as shall be approved by Landlord.

 

Section 28.06         If
Landlord shall consent to the omission or removal of any part of, or the
insertion of any door or other opening in, any wall separating the Premises
from adjoining space leased to another tenant, then (i) Tenant shall be
responsible for all risk of damage to, or loss or theft of, property arising as
an incident to such omission or removal or

 

73

 

the use of such door or other
opening, or because of the existence thereof, and shall indemnify and save
Landlord harmless from and against any claim, demand or action for, or on
account of, any such loss, theft or damage, and (ii) in the event of the
termination of this Lease or the lease of said other tenant, Landlord may enter
the Premises and Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, may close up any door or other
opening by erecting a wall to match the wall separating the Premises from said
adjoining space, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any diminution or
abatement of rent or other compensation by reason thereof; provided, however,
that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to vest Tenant with any right or
interest in, or with respect to, said adjoining space, or the use thereof, and
Tenant hereby expressly waives any right to be made a party to, or to be served
with process or other notice under or in connection with, any proceeding or
action which may hereafter be instituted by Landlord for the recovery of the
possession of said adjoining space.

 

Section 28.07         Without
incurring any liability to Tenant, Landlord may permit access to the Premises and
open the same, whether or not Tenant shall be present, upon demand of any
receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, sheriff, marshal,
court officer or other person entitled to, or reasonably purporting to be
entitled to, such access for the purpose of taking possession of, or removing,
Tenant’s property or for any other lawful purpose (but this provision and any
action by Landlord hereunder shall not be deemed a recognition by Landlord that
the person or official making such demand has any right or interest in or to
this Lease, or in or to the Premises), or upon demand of any representative of
the fire, police, building, sanitation or other department of the city, state
or federal governments.

 

Section 28.08         Tenant
shall not be entitled to exercise any right of termination, cancellation, or
any other option granted to it by this Lease at any time when Tenant is in
default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period in the
performance or observance of any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

shall not occupy any space in the Building (by assignment, sublease or
otherwise) other than the Premises hereby demised, except with the prior
written consent of Landlord in each instance.

 

Section 28.11         Tenant
will not clean, nor require, permit, suffer or allow any window in the Premises
to be cleaned, in violation of Section 202 of the Labor Law of the rules of the
Board of Standards and Appeals, or of any other board or body having or
asserting jurisdiction.

 

Section 28.12         Landlord
and Tenant each represents that it has not dealt with any person or broker in
connection with this Lease other than CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD, INC. AND JONES
LANG LASALLE (collectively, the “Broker”) and each agrees to defend, indemnify
and hold harmless Landlord, its agents and employees, from any loss, liability,
costs, damages and expenses (including without limitation attorney’s fees and
disbursements) suffered by the other through any breach of this representation,
or in connection with the claim of any other person or broker alleging to have
dealt with the indemnifying party with respect to this Lease.  Landlord shall compensate Broker pursuant to
separate agreement.

 

Section 28.13         The
term “Landlord” as used in this Lease means only the owner, or the mortgagee in
possession, for the time being, of the Land and Building (or the owner of a
lease of the Building or the Land and Building), so that in the event of any
sale or sales of the Land and Building or of said lease, or in the event of a
lease of the Building, or of the Land and Building, the Landlord shall be and
hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of
Landlord hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed without further
agreement between the parties or their successors in interest, or between the
parties and the purchaser, at any such sale, or the said lessee of the
Building, or of the Land and Building, that the purchaser or the lessee of the
Building has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and
obligations of Landlord hereunder.  No
general or limited partner or shareholder of Landlord (including any assignee
or successor of Landlord) or other holder of any equity interest in Landlord shall
be personally liable for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this
Lease.  The liability of Landlord
(including any assignee or successor of Landlord) for Landlord’s obligations
under this Lease shall be limited to Landlord’s interest in the Land and
Building and Tenant shall not look to any of Landlord’s

 

75

 

other assets in seeking either
to enforce Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for
Landlord’s failure to perform such obligations. 
Landlord reserves the right, at any time, to convert the Building and or
Land to condominium ownership, and upon such conversion, (i) this Lease shall
be subject and subordinate to the applicable condominium documents and (ii) the
owner of the unit or units of which the Premises forms a part shall be deemed
to be the Landlord hereunder.

 

Section 28.14         The
submission by Landlord of the Lease in draft form shall be deemed submitted
solely for Tenant’s consideration and not for acceptance and execution.  Such submission shall have no binding force
or effect and shall confer no rights nor impose any obligations, including
brokerage obligations, on either party unless and until both Landlord and
Tenant shall have executed the Lease and dupli­cate originals thereof shall
have been delivered to the respective parties.

 

Section 28.15         Intentionally
deleted.

 

Section 28.16         Tenant
covenants to pay any occupancy or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted
if the same applies to Tenant’s leasing of the Premises.  Alternatively, Tenant shall pay to Landlord
upon demand as additional rent any occupancy tax or rent tax now in effect or
hereafter enacted, if payable by Landlord in the first instance or hereafter
required to be paid by Landlord.

 

Section 28.17         Tenant
hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that it is duly formed and in good
standing, and has full corporate or partnership power and authority, as the
case may be, to enter into this Lease and has taken all corporate or
partnership action, as the case may be, necessary to carry out the transaction
contemplated herein, so that when executed, this Lease constitutes a valid and
binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with corporate
resolutions or other proof in a form acceptable to Landlord, authorizing the
execution of the Lease at the time of such execution.  Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that it
is not entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity.

 

Section 28.18         Tenant
acknowledges that is has no rights to any development rights, “air rights” or
comparable rights appurtenant to the Land and/or Building, and consents,
without further consideration, to any utilization of such rights

 

76

 

by Landlord and agrees to promptly execute and deliver any instruments
which may be requested by Landlord, including instruments merging zoning lots,
evidencing such acknowledgment and consent, provided same does not prevent
occupancy of the Premises by Tenant in the manner provided herein.  The provisions of this Section 28.18 shall be
deemed to be and shall be construed as an express waiver by Tenant of any
interest Tenant may have as a “party in interest” (as such quoted term is
defined in Section 12-10 Zoning Lot of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New
York) in the Land and/or Building.

any such installment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such written requisition
for disbursement which shall be accompanied by (1) paid invoices for the Tenant’s
Work performed since the last disbursement subject to customary retentions; (2)
a certificate signed by Tenant’s architect or an officer of Tenant certifying
that the Tenant’s Work represented by the aforesaid invoices has been satisfactorily
completed in accordance with the final plan; (3) partial lien waivers by
contractors, subcontractors and all materialmen for all such work or, if then
available, for work covered by the prior disbursement; and (4) with respect to
the final disbursement of Tenant’s Allowance, all Building Department
sign-offs, inspection certificates and any permits required to be issued by any
governmental entities having jurisdiction thereover and a general release or
final lien waivers from all contractors and subcontractors performing Tenant’s
Work releasing Landlord from all liability for any Tenant’s Work.  At any and all times during the progress of
Tenant’s Work, representatives of Landlord shall have the right of access to
the Premises and inspection thereof and shall have the right to withhold all or
any portion of Tenant’s Allowance (as shall be reasonably appropriate under the
circumstances) as shall equal the cost of correcting any portions of Tenant’s
Work which shall not have been performed in compliance with the provisions of
the Lease if Tenant fails to correct same promptly after written notice from
Landlord to do so; provided, however, that Landlord shall incur no liability,
obligation or responsibility to Tenant or any third party by reason of such access
and inspection except to the extent of Landlord’s negligence or willful
misconduct.

00/*** Dollars ($***) combined single limit for bodily injury and
property damage (including coverage for all operations of Tenant,
products/completed operations, independent contractors, broad form property damage,
personal injury liability and contractual liability coverage); (2) if the
nature of Tenant’s business is such as to place all or any of its employees
under workers’ compensation or similar statutes, workers’ compensation or
similar insurance affording statutory coverage and containing statutory limits;
and (3) all-risk property damage insurance (replacement cost coverage),
including theft or attempted theft of, Tenant’s Property.  Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the time such insurance is first required to be
carried by Tenant, and thereafter at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of any such policy, either an original policy or a certificate of
insurance procured by Tenant in compliance with its obligations hereunder,
together with evidence of payment therefor. 
Workers’ compensation insurance provided for in this Section may be
procured by Tenant’s contractors.  Tenant
will also furnish Landlord with evidence that Tenant’s contractors performing
any Tenant’s Changes or other work in the Building are covered by insurance in
amounts and of the types which are appropriate, in Landlord’s judgment, to the
size and scope of Tenant’s Changes.

 

Section 30.02         All the aforesaid insurance shall be
issued in the name of Tenant and name Landlord (and any designee(s) of
Landlord) as additional insureds, and shall be written by one (1) or more
responsible insurance companies licensed to do business in New York State; all
such insurance may be carried under a blanket policy covering the Premises and
any other of Tenant’s locations and shall contain endorsements that:  (1) Such insurance may not be canceled or
amended with respect to Landlord (or its designee(s)) except upon thirty (30)
days’ written notice by registered mail to Landlord (and such designee(s)) by
the insurance company; (2) Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment of
premiums and that Landlord (or its designee(s)) shall not be required to pay
any premiums for such insurance; and (3) Tenant’s insurance shall be primary
with any coverage provided by Landlord as excess and non-contributory.  The minimum limits of the commercial general
liability policy of insurance shall in no way limit or diminish Tenant’s
liability under Section 5.01(k) hereof.

Section 30.03         The minimum limits of the commercial
general liability policy of insurance shall be subject to increase at any time,
and from time to time, after the commencement of the fifth (5th) year of the
term hereof if Landlord in the exercise of its reasonable judgment shall deem
the same necessary for adequate protection. 
Within thirty (30) days after demand therefor by Landlord, Tenant shall
furnish Landlord with evidence that such demand has been complied with.  In case Tenant disputes the reasonableness of
Landlord’s demand, the parties agree to submit the question of the
reasonableness of such demand for decision to the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Management Division of The Real Estate Board of New York,
Inc., or to such impartial person or persons as he may designate whose
determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties hereto.  The right to dispute the reasonableness of
any such demand by Landlord shall be deemed waived unless the same shall be
asserted by Tenant by service of a notice in writing upon Landlord within ten
(10) days after the giving of Landlord’s demand therefor.

 

Section 30.04         Landlord agrees to maintain both the
types and amounts of insurance required by its mortgagee or, in the absence of
a mortgage, what would be maintained by a comparable owner/operator of a
comparable first-class midtown Manhattan office building.

each such instance, shall look solely to each vendee, transferee or lessee, as
the case may be, for the return of such security.  It is further agreed that the provisions
hereof shall apply to every such sale, transfer or lease and to every such

Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment,
encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

assigned, the security deposit shall be deemed assigned to the assignee, and
Landlord shall have no liability to return the same to the assignor.

Extension Option

 

Section 32.01         (a)           Provided
that both at the time of the exercise of the Extension Option (herein defined)
and at the time of the commencement of the Extended Term (as hereinafter
defined):  (i) this Lease shall be in
full force and effect, (ii) Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease
beyond any applicable notice and cure period, and (iii) this Lease has not been
assigned (except as permitted pursuant to Section 25.02

hereof) nor has any part of the Premises been sublet and Tenant is in
occupancy of the entire Premises, Tenant shall have the option (Extension
Option) to unconditionally extend the term of this Lease as it relates to all
and not a portion of the Premises for *** (***) ***-year period commencing on
the day after the Expiration Date (Extended Term).  Tenant shall exercise the Extension Option by
written notice to Landlord given no later than the date which is fifteen (15)
months prior to the Expiration Date (time being of the essence as to such date)
and once Tenant exercises the Extension Option, Tenant may not thereafter
revoke such exercise.  If any of the
conditions (i) through (iii) above are not fulfilled, the Extension Option
shall be void and of no further force or effect.

 

(b)           If Tenant does not
exercise the Extension Option during the applicable time period specified in
the preceding paragraph, the Extension Option shall unconditionally lapse and
be of no further force and effect.

 

(c)           Any such Extended
Term shall be on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease
with respect to the initial term, except that (i) Tenant shall take the
Premises in “as-is” condition and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any
improvements or alterations to the Premises or provide any improvement
allowance to Tenant; and (ii) the Fixed Rent during the Extended Term shall be
equal to the greater of (y) ****% of the fair market rent for the Premises as
of the commencement of the Extended Term (Fair Market Rent) or (z) an amount
equal to the sum of the Fixed Rent and all Article 26 additional rent payable
under this Lease for the month immediately prior to the Extended Term.  After Landlord receives Tenant’s notice that
Tenant desires to exercise the Extension Option in the time period set forth
above, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord’s determination of Fair Market
Rent on or before six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date and the following
shall apply thereto:

 

Within ten (10) business days after its receipt of Landlord’s
determination of Fair Market Rent for the Premises (time being of the essence),
Tenant shall notify Landlord whether it accepts or disputes such
determination.  Tenant’s failure to
notify Landlord of acceptance or dispute shall constitute an acceptance of
Landlord’s determination.  In the event
that Tenant

disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall
include in such notice its determination of Fair Market Rent and in such case,
Landlord and Tenant, each having made an effort to come to an agreement,
nevertheless disagree as to the appropriate Fair Market Rent, then such dispute
shall be resolved and Fair Market Rent shall be determined as follows:

 

Within twenty (20) days after the date of Tenant’s notice disputing
Landlord’s determination, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an expert and
said experts shall determine Fair Market Rent. 
The date upon which the second of said experts is appointed is herein
referred to as the “Arbitration Commencement Date”.  If said experts cannot mutually agree upon
Fair Market Rent within fifteen (15) days after the Arbitration Commencement
Date, then within twenty (20) days after the Arbitration Commencement Date,
they shall jointly appoint a third expert who shall determine Fair Market Rent
on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after the Arbitration
Commencement Date.  If the two experts
selected by Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on a third expert within twenty
(20) days after the Arbitration Commencement Date, then the third expert shall
be appointed by the American Arbitration Association or its successor (the
branch office of which is located in or closest to the City of New York), upon
request of either Landlord or Tenant, or both, as the case may be.  Within ten (10) days after such appointment,
said expert shall determine Fair Market Rent. 
The determination of the third expert, whether or not approved by the
experts appointed by Landlord and Tenant, shall be final;  provided, however, that the third expert
shall assign a value to Fair Market Rent which falls within the range of value
established by the two determinations of Fair Market Rent made by the two
experts selected by Landlord and Tenant. 
If, for any reason whatsoever, a written decision of the experts
appointed by Landlord and Tenant, or the third expert, as the case may be,
shall not be rendered within forty-five (45) days after the Arbitration
Commencement Date, then at any time thereafter before such decision shall have
been rendered, either Landlord or Tenant may apply to the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, New York County, by action, proceeding or otherwise as may
be proper, to determine the question in dispute consistent with the provisions
of the Lease.  In determining Fair Market
Rent, the experts shall give appropriate consideration to all relevant
factors.  Each party shall pay for its
own costs and expenses in connection with its selection and use of its initial
expert.  The parties shall share equally
in the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the selection and use of
the third expert.  Each expert

 

85

 

appointed pursuant to this paragraph shall be a licensed real estate
broker with no less than ten (10) years of commercial real estate experience
with first class office buildings in midtown Manhattan.

 

(d)           In the event that
Fair Market Rent is not established by the Expiration Date, then Tenant shall
pay Fixed Rent at the rate of the annualized Fixed Rent and additional rent
payable by Tenant for the last full calendar month immediately proceeding the
commencement of the Extended Term until such Fair Market Rent determination
shall have occurred at which time there shall be an equitable adjustment of the
Fixed Rent payable during the Extended Term as provided for in this Lease
(taking into account the Fixed Rent previously paid by Tenant during the
Extended Term).

Right of First Offering

 

Section 33.01         (a)           For
purposes of this Lease, the “First Offering Space” shall mean the entire
rentable portion of the *** (***) floor of the Building, as substantially shown
and hatched on the rental plan annexed hereto as  Exhibit F.  The parties
agree that the First Offering Space comprises 23,980 rentable square feet.

 

(b)           Provided Tenant is
not in default under the terms and conditions of this Lease after notice and
the expiration of applicable cure periods either as of the date of the giving
of “Tenant’s First Notice” or the “First Offering Space Inclusion Date” (as
such terms are hereinafter defined), then if Landlord desires to offer for
lease the First Offering Space after it shall become available for leasing,
subsequent to Landlord first leasing any of such First Offering Space to third
parties after the date hereof (it being understood that Tenant’s rights under
this Section 33 shall not become effective with respect to any portion of such
First Offering Space unless and until the same has been leased to a third party
and such First Offering Space shall subsequently become vacant and available
for leasing and then only with respect to the portion that was previously
leased), then Landlord, before offering such First Offering Space to anyone
other than the currently existing tenant as of the Term Commencement Date of
any portion of the First Offering Space (or their successors or affiliates) or
their assignees or subtenants (such currently existing tenant is hereinafter
called a “Priority Tenant”), shall offer to Tenant the right to include such
First Offering Space which Landlord desires to offer for lease within the
Premises upon all the terms and conditions of this Lease (including the
provisions of Article 26 with the base years specified therein), except that:

 

(A)          the fixed rent with
respect to such First Offering Space shall be at a rate equal to the Fair
Market Rent for such First Offering Space which shall be determined by Landlord
in the same manner as Article 32 hereof, as of the First Offering Space Inclusion
Date and shall be set forth in a written notice to Tenant.

First Offering Space Inclusion Date, for purposes of calculating the additional
rent payable pursuant to Article 26 hereof, allocable to

such First Offering Space, Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be deemed
to be ****%.

 

Such offer shall be made by Landlord to Tenant in a written notice
(First Offer Notice), which offer shall designate the First Offering Space, the
date Landlord believes such space will be available for Tenant’s occupancy
(Estimated Inclusion Date), and shall specify the fixed rent payable with
respect to any such First Offering Space, determined in accordance with the
provisions of Section 33.01(b)(A) hereof.

 

Section 33.02         (a)           Tenant
may accept the offer set forth in the First Offer Notice by delivering to
Landlord an unconditional acceptance (Tenant’s First Notice) (subject, however,
to the provisions of Section 33.04 hereof) of such offer within ten (10) days
after delivery by Landlord of the First Offer Notice to Tenant.  The First Offering Space designated in the
First Offer Notice shall be added to and included in the Premises on the later
to occur of (i) the day that Tenant exercises its option as aforesaid, or (ii)
the date such First Offering Space shall be delivered to Tenant vacant,
unleased and free of occupants (First Offering Space Inclusion Date).  Time shall be of the essence with respect to
the giving of Tenant’s First Notice.

 

(b)           If Tenant does not
accept the First Offer Notice by delivering to Landlord Tenant’s First Notice
within the time period set forth in Section 33.02(a), Tenant shall be deemed to
have unconditionally waived its rights under this Article 33, and Landlord
shall at any and all times thereafter be entitled to lease all or any portion
of the First Offering Space to others at such rental and upon such terms and
conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may desire, whether such rental
is the same as that offered to Tenant or more or less favorable.  Tenant shall, within five (5) days after
Landlord’s request therefor, deliver an instrument in form reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord confirming the aforesaid, but no such instrument shall
be necessary to make the provisions hereof effective.

 

Section 33.03         If any First Offering Space shall not
be available for Tenant’s occupancy on the Estimated Inclusion Date for any
reason, including the holding over of the prior tenant, then Landlord and
Tenant agree that the failure to have such

First Offering Space available for occupancy by Tenant shall in no way
affect the validity of this Lease or the inclusion of such First Offering Space
in the Premises or the obligations of Landlord or Tenant hereunder, nor shall
the same be construed in any way to extend the term of this Lease or impose any
liability on Landlord, and for the purpose of this Article 33, the First
Offering Space Inclusion Date shall be deferred to and shall be the date such
First Offering Space is delivered to Tenant vacant, unleased and free of
occupants.  The provisions of this
Section 33.03 are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary”
within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Section 33.03, if any First Offering Space shall not be available for
Tenant’s occupancy for any reason on or before the first (1st) anniversary of
the Estimated Inclusion Date, then Tenant may, as its sole remedy, rescind the
exercise of its option under this Article 33 with respect thereto by giving
notice of such rescission to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after the first
(1st) anniversary of the Estimated Inclusion Date.

 

Section 33.04         (a)           In
the event that Tenant disputes the amount of the Fair Market Rent specified in
the First Offer Notice, then at any time on or before the date occurring twenty
(20) days after Tenant has received the First Offer Notice, provided that
Tenant shall have given Tenant’s First Notice, Tenant may initiate the
arbitration process provided for in Article 32 of this Lease, and such
provisions shall apply to the determination of Fair Market Rent for the First
Offering Space.  If Tenant fails to
initiate the arbitration process within the aforesaid twenty (20) day period,
time being of the essence, then Landlord’s determination of the fixed rent set
forth in the First Offer Notice shall be conclusive.

 

(b)           In the event that
Fair Market Rent is not established by the First Offering Space Inclusion Date,
then Tenant shall pay Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent pending
final determination.  In the event that
the Fair Market Rent is later determined to be less than Landlord’s
determination of Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall thereafter pay as a Fixed Rent
only the Fixed Rent thus determined and Landlord shall promptly refund to
Tenant any excess previously paid by Tenant to Landlord.  In the event that the Fair Market Rent is
later determined to be greater than Landlord’s determination of Fair Market
Rent, Tenant shall thereafter pay as a Fixed Rent the Fixed Rent thus
determined and Tenant shall promptly pay to

Landlord any deficiency in the Fixed Rent previously paid by Tenant to
Landlord.

 

Section 33.05         Tenant agrees to accept the First
Offering Space in its condition and state of repair existing as of the First
Offering Space Inclusion Date and understands and agrees that Landlord shall
not be required to perform any work, 
supply any materials or incur any expense to prepare such space for
Tenant’s occupancy.

 

Section 33.06         The termination of this Lease during
the term of this Lease shall also terminate and render void all of Tenant’s
options or elections under this Article 33 whether or not the same shall have
been exercised; and nothing contained in this Article shall prevent Landlord
from exercising any right or action granted to or reserved by Landlord in this
Lease to terminate this Lease.  None of
Tenant’s options or elections set forth in this Article 33 may be severed from
this Lease or separately sold, assigned or transferred.

 

Section 33.07         Notwithstanding any language to the
contrary contained in this Article 33, the rights granted to Tenant hereunder
shall be at all times subject and subordinate to the election of any current
tenant of the First Offering Space to extend the term of its lease with respect
thereto, whether such election is made pursuant to any provision within its
lease or otherwise.

Telecommunications Conduit

 

Section 34.01         Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, as
part of the Premises for the term of this Lease, the conduit space described
below (the “Conduit Space”).  Tenant
shall use the Conduit Space solely for telecommunications cable to connect the
Premises to the telecommunications room on the C-1 level of the Building.  The Conduit Space is and shall be contained
within up to two (2) 4-inch conduits running from the Premises to the
telecommunications room on the C-1 level of the Building in locations as
approved by Landlord.  Tenant shall have
sixty (60) days after the date hereof in which to elect what Conduit Space it
shall lease from Landlord hereunder. 
Access to the conduit closet on each such floor shall, at Landlord’s
election, be restricted so that no entry to the closet will be permitted unless
Landlord’s designated contractor or other representative

any installation of any conduits or any cable in the Conduit Space or any
connection of Tenant’s cable to the Premises or, if permitted by Landlord,
cable of other tenants in the Building, to be performed by contractors selected
by Tenant and approved by Landlord.  All
costs of such running of conduit, cable, installations, connections and the
ongoing use and maintenance of such items shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense.  Tenant shall pay Landlord any
reasonable costs reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with such
running of conduit, cable, installations, connections and ongoing use and
maintenance within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a
bill for such items.  Any use by Tenant
under this Article 34 of the Conduit Space and cable, connecting lines or
conduit shall comply with all applicable legal or insurance requirements, the
other provisions of this Lease, and such Building rules and regulations as are
adopted by Landlord from time to time, and shall not interfere in any way with
the operation of the Building or with the use by any other tenant of the
Building of such tenant’s premises or the common areas of the Building.  All required cabling, connecting lines or
conduit shall be installed out of sight. 
Prior to any installation of cable, connecting lines or conduit in the
Conduit Space, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s written approval as set forth in
Section 5.01(e) of this Lease as if the Conduit Space were part of the
Premises.  In no event may any conduit,
cabling or connecting lines be run to any other service provider or any other
tenant or occupant of the Building, unless expressly consented to in writing by
Landlord.

 

Section 34.02         Tenant agrees to pay Landlord
additional rent during the term of this Lease for the Conduit Space (as Tenant
may elect to lease hereunder) in the amount of $**** per month commencing on
the start of the installation of such conduit, subject to adjustment as
provided below.  All installments of such
additional rent shall be due and payable to Landlord on the first day of each
month or portion of a month throughout the term of this Lease, together with
Tenant’s Fixed Rent and additional rent. 
The amount of such monthly conduit rent shall be adjusted annually in

the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor, relating to New
York, NY and Northeastern NJ, for urban wage earners and clerical workers,
between the date of such adjustment and the date such monthly conduit rent was last
adjusted (or the date of this Lease). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord waives any charge for the first
conduit Tenant may elect to lease and the $**** per month charge (subject to
increase as herein provided) shall apply only to the second conduit.

 

Section 34.03         Tenant hereby agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against any and all claims
(including but not limited to claims for bodily injury or property damage),
actions, mechanic’s liens, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including
reasonable attorney fees and reasonable costs of defense by Landlord’s legal
counsel), which may arise from Tenant’s installation, operation, use,
maintenance or removal of cable, connecting lines or conduit pursuant to this
Article 34 and Section 5.01(k) of this Lease. 
Similarly, Tenant shall pay, within twenty (20) days after demand, by
Landlord the reasonable costs to repair any damage to the Building caused by
such installation, operating, use, maintenance or removal, except to the extent
any such costs are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the
Indemnitees or their agents.  Tenant
hereby waives and releases the Indemnitees from any claims Tenant may have at
any time (including but not limited to claims relating to interruptions in
services) arising out of or relating in any way to the installation, operating,
use, maintenance or removal of cable, connecting lines, conduit or interduct
described in this Article 34.  In no event
shall any Indemnitee by liable to Tenant for lost profits or consequential,
incidental or punitive damages of any kind.

 

Section 34.04         Tenant agrees that, upon the expiration
or termination of the Lease, Tenant (or, at Landlord’s election, the contractor
designated by Landlord) shall promptly remove, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, all cable, connecting lines, conduit and other installations installed
under this Article 34, restore (in the manner prescribed by Landlord) those
portions of

to their installation and repair any damage to the Premises or Building caused
by such removal.  If Tenant fails to
perform any of its obligations pursuant to this Section 34.04, Landlord may do
so, in which case Tenant agrees, within twenty (20) days after demand, to pay
Landlord’s reasonable costs of performing such obligations, including Landlord’s
reasonable administrative fee.  Landlord
may elect to have Tenant not remove the items pursuant to this Section 34.04.

 

Section 34.05         Except as explicitly provided otherwise
herein, Tenant’s obligations under this Article 34 for the protection of the
Building, the Indemnitees, and third parties, including, without limitation,
Tenant’s obligations regarding maintenance, repairs, mechanic liens, insurance,
reasonable attorney fees and costs of suit, shall apply in the same fashion
with respect to Tenant’s use of the Conduit Space and the cable, connecting
lines or conduit described in this Article 34 as they do with respect to Tenant’s
use of the rest of the Premises.

12.                                 All
removals, or the carrying in, out of or within the Building of any safes,
freight, furniture, packages, boxes, crates, papers, office materials, cartes

Landlord may require any person leaving the Building with any package or
other object or matter to submit a pass, listing such package or object or

any person to or from the Premises or the Building under the provisions of this

floor polishing or other similar services from any persons not authorized by
Landlord in writing to furnish such services. 
Such services shall be furnished only at such hours, in such places
within the Premises, and under such regulations, as may be fixed by

that Landlord assumes no responsibility for the acts, omissions, misconduct or
other activities of the purveyors of such services unless due to the sole
negligence of Landlord or its agents, employees, officers or partners.

 

15.                                 Landlord
shall have the right to prohibit any advertising or identifying sign by any
tenant which, in Landlord’s sole judgment, tends to impair the reputation of
the Building or its desirability as a building for offices, and upon written
notice from Landlord, such tenant shall refrain from and discontinue such
advertising or identifying sign.

 

16.                                 Landlord
reserves the right to exclude from the Building during hours other than
Business Hours (as defined in the foregoing Lease) all persons connected with
or calling upon tenant who do not present a pass to the Building signed by
tenant.  Landlord also reserves the right
to exclude from the Building at any time any person whose presence in the
Building shall in Landlord’s sole judgment be a detriment to the safety,
character, security, reputation or interest of the Building.  Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a
facsimile of such pass.  All persons
entering and/or leaving the Building during hours other than Business Hours may
be required to sign a register.  Tenant
shall be responsible for all persons to whom it issues any such pass and shall
be liable to Landlord for all acts or omissions of such persons.

 

17.                                 Tenant,
before closing and leaving the Premises at any time, shall see that all

left locked by tenant when the Premises are not in use.  Entrance doors shall not be left open at any
time.

 

18.                                 Tenant
shall, at tenant’s expense, provide artificial light and electric energy for
the employees of Landlord and/or Landlord’s contractors while doing janitor
service or other cleaning in the Premises and while making repairs or
alterations in the Premises.

 

RR-4

 

19.                                 The
Premises shall not be used for lodging or sleeping or for any immoral or
illegal purpose.

 

20.                                 The

shall not perform any work or do anything outside of their regular duties,
unless under special instructions from Landlord.

 

21.                                 Canvassing,
soliciting and peddling in the Building are prohibited and each tenant shall
cooperate to prevent the same.

 

22.                                 There
shall not be used in any space, or in the public halls of the Building, either
by any tenant or by any others, in the moving or delivery or receipt of safes,
freight, furniture, packages, boxes, crates, paper, office material, or any
other matter or thing, any hand trucks except those equipped with rubber tires,
side guards and such other safeguards as Landlord shall require.  No hand trucks shall be used in any passenger
elevators.

 

23.                                 Tenant
shall not cause or permit any odors of cooking or other processes or any

other tenants or create a public or private nuisance.  No cooking (except small scale microwaving)
shall be done in the Premises except as is expressly permitted in the foregoing
Lease.

 

24.                                 All

characteristics shall be submitted to and approved by Landlord, and such
materials shall be installed in a manner approved by Landlord.

 

25.                                 All
contractors rendering any service to Tenant shall be referred to Landlord for
approval and supervision prior to performing such services.  This applies to all work performed in the
Building of whatsoever nature.  Tenant
shall use only the freight or service elevator for all deliveries and only at
hours prescribed by Landlord.  Bulky
materials (as reasonably determined by Landlord) may not be delivered during Business
Hours but only thereafter.  Tenant’s
contractors working in the Building must enter or exit only by way of the
freight or service elevator.  Any work
performed by Tenant’s contractors during

 

RR-5

 

non-business days or during the hours determined by the Building on
business days will necessitate the use of the freight or service elevator (with
operator), a security guard and a stand-by engineer, the cost of which Tenant
agrees to pay Landlord.

 

26.                                 Tenant
shall not at any time directly or indirectly employ, permit the employment of,
or contract for any service provider, contractor, mechanic or laborer in the
Premises, whether in connection with any alteration or otherwise, if such
employment or contract will interfere or conflict with any other service
provider, contractor, mechanic or laborer engaged in the construction,
maintenance or operation of the Building, or any part thereof, by
Landlord.  Upon Landlord’s demand, Tenant
shall take all measures to cause all of its service providers, contractors,
mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the
Building promptly, or shall take whatever action requested by Landlord
necessary to end such conflict.

 

27.                                 Landlord
reserves the right to rescind, alter or waive any rule or regulation at any
time prescribed for the Building when, in its reasonable judgment, it deems it
necessary or desirable for the reputation, safety, care or appearance of the
Building, or the preservation of good order therein, or the operation or
maintenance of the Building, or the equipment thereof, or the comfort of
tenants or others in the Building.  No
rescission, alteration or waiver of any rule or regulation in favor of one
tenant shall operate as a rescission, alteration or waiver in favor of any
other tenant.
