 February 27, 2006                                 
 Dear Sirs: 
 Reference is
made to the Real Estate Lease dated February 27, 2006 (the “Real Estate Lease”) between 4101 Austin Boulevard Corp. (“4101 AUSTIN”) and Fructibail Invest (“FRUCTIBAIL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Natexis Banques
Populaires, and the Real Estate Sublease dated February 27, 2006 (the “Real Estate Sublease”) between FRUCTIBAIL and The Bank of New York (“BNY”) (the transactions contemplated by the Real Estate Lease and the Real Estate
Sublease together, the “Transaction”). This letter (this “Supplemental Agreement”) sets forth supplemental agreements between the parties to the Transaction as set forth herein. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
have the meanings assigned to them in the Real Estate Lease and Real Estate Sublease. All references to taxes herein shall also include any interest and penalties relating to such taxes. 
 1. Each of FRUCTIBAIL, BNY and 4101 AUSTIN understand that the mutual intention of all the parties is to enter into both the Real Estate Lease and the Real Estate Sublease. For the avoidance of doubt and to avoid
frustration of the intention of the parties, 4101 AUSTIN, BNY and FRUCTIBAIL hereby agree that the Real Estate Lease shall be void ab initio if FRUCTIBAIL and BNY fail to enter into the Real Estate Sublease and no obligations for the parties shall
ensue thereunder. 
 2. BNY shall indemnify FRUCTIBAIL and any Affiliate thereof, on an After-Tax Basis, from, against and in respect of any US federal and
any state or local income, franchise or similar tax (other than any Withholding Tax, which shall be governed by Article 39 of the Real Estate Lease and Article 38 of the Real Estate Sublease) incurred by FRUCTIBAIL or any Affiliate thereof as a
result of or in connection with the Transaction except to the extent that such tax would not have been incurred but for (i) any Connection (or former Connection) of FRUCTIBAIL or any Affiliate to the United States, other than any such
Connection (or former Connection) arising solely as a result of FRUCTIBAIL having executed or performed its obligations or received a payment under, any of the Real Estate Lease or Real Estate Sublease or this Supplemental Agreement or having
asserted rights or remedies under any of the Real Estate Lease or Real Estate Sublease or this Supplemental Agreement, including without limitation taking possession of the Premises and any subsequent activities in connection with leasing the
Premises, or (ii) any breach or incorrectness of any representation, warranty or covenant given by FRUCTIBAIL in any of the Real Estate Lease, the Real Estate Sublease, the Real Estate Lease Waiver Agreement dated
February 27], 2006 between 4101 AUSTIN and FRUCTIBAIL (the “Lease Waiver Agreement”), the Real Estate 

 
Sublease Waiver Agreement dated February 27, 2006 between FRUCTIBAIL and BNY (the “Sublease Waiver Agreement”) or this Supplemental Agreement.

 Without duplication, BNY shall indemnify FRUCTIBAIL and any of its Affiliates with respect to, any US state or local taxes other than income, franchise or
similar taxes (“Non-Income Taxes”), which Non-Income Taxes shall include but not be limited to, any New York state or city estate, inheritance, excise, sales and use tax, commercial rent and occupancy tax, real property transfer tax,
mortgage recording tax, any other real estate taxes and any general or special assessments (including, without limitation, (i) assessments made upon or with respect to any “air” and “development” rights now or hereafter
appurtenant to or affecting the Premises, (ii) any fee, tax or charge imposed by any Governmental Authority for any vaults, vault space or other space within or outside the boundaries of the Premises, and (iii) any taxes or assessments
levied in whole or in part for public benefits to the Premises, including, without limitation, any Business Improvement District taxes and assessments) if any, imposed on any payments under, or otherwise relating to, any of the Real Estate Lease,
Real Estate Sublease, the Guarantee, or this Supplemental Agreement other than any such Non-Income Tax that would not have been incurred but for (i) any Connection (or former Connection) of FRUCTIBAIL or any Affiliate to the United States, other
than any such Connection (or former Connection) arising solely as a result of FRUCTIBAIL having executed or performed its obligations or received a payment under, any of the Real Estate Lease or Real Estate Sublease or this Supplemental Agreement or
having asserted rights or remedies under any of the Real Estate Lease or Real Estate Sublease or this Supplemental Agreement, including without limitation taking possession of the Premises and any subsequent activities in connection with leasing the
Premises, or (ii) any breach or incorrectness of any representation, warranty or covenant given by FRUCTIBAIL in the Real Estate Lease, the Real Estate Sublease, the Lease Waiver Agreement, the Sublease Waiver Agreement or this Supplemental
Agreement. Without duplication, BNY shall be responsible for the payment of all Non-Income Taxes except Subtenant-Paid Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, if such Subtenant-Paid Taxes are not reimbursed by BNY to FRUCTIBAIL pursuant to
Section 27.1 of the Real Estate Sublease, BNY shall indemnify FRUCTIBAIL and its Affiliates for such Subtenant-Paid Taxes. 
 FRUCTIBAIL will not be
entitled to receive any payment under Article 39 of the Real Estate Lease or Article 38 of the Real Estate Sublease in respect of any Withholding Tax, to the extent such Withholding Tax, would not have been incurred but for any Connection (or former
Connection) of FRUCTIBAIL or any Affiliate in the United States, other than any such Connection (or former Connection) arising solely as a result of FRUCTIBAIL having executed or performed its obligations or received a payment under, any of the Real
Estate Lease, Real Estate Sublease or this Supplemental Agreement or FRUCTIBAIL having performed any activities directly relating thereto. 
 FRUCTIBAIL
covenants that (without regard to any actions arising from the execution or performance of its obligations or receipt of any payment under any of the Real Estate Lease, Real Estate Sublease or this Supplemental Agreement or it having asserted any
rights under such agreements) (i) it does not have, and at no time during the Term of the Transaction will have, any trade or business in the United States and is not and will not become subject to tax on its net profits in the United States,
(ii) no aspect of the Transaction will be properly reportable on the financial accounting books or records of 

  

 2 

 
FRUCTIBAIL or any of its Affiliates as being associated with any such trade or business or taxable presence in the United States, and (iii) the
principal negotiations will be undertaken by, and any documentation associated with the transaction will be approved and executed by, officers and employees of FRUCTIBAIL in France. 
 Connection shall mean, in relation to an entity and a territory, that entity or its Affiliates having a place of business in that territory, that entity or its Affiliates conducting business in that territory or that
entity or its Affiliates being subject to tax on its net profits in that territory. 
 3. If FRUCTIBAIL has received any payment under paragraph 2 of this
Supplemental Agreement or Article 39 of the Real Estate Lease or Article 38 of the Real Estate Sublease, FRUCTIBAIL will claim any deduction, credit, refund, offset, allocation, or other tax savings available, if any (“Tax Savings”), for
any tax in respect of which it has received any such payment, and 4101 AUSTIN or BNY, as the case may be, shall after receipt of a written request from FRUCTIBAIL, supply FRUCTIBAIL with such forms or other documentary evidence as may be reasonably
necessary to entitle FRUCTIBAIL, as the case may be, to claim such Tax Savings. To the extent that FRUCTIBAIL has received any Tax Savings, then FRUCTIBAIL, without duplication with any payment made pursuant to Article 29 of the Real Estate Lease or
Article 38 of the Real Estate Sublease, shall promptly pay to BNY or 4101 AUSTIN, as appropriate, an amount which FRUCTIBAIL determines in its discretion, acting in good faith and after consultation with BNY or 4101 AUSTIN, will leave FRUCTIBAIL,
after the payments, in the same After-Tax position as it would have been in had the payments required under paragraph 2 of this Supplemental Agreement or Article 39 of the Real Estate Lease or Article 38 of the Real Estate Sublease, as the case may
be, not been required to be made by the other party (taking into account any income inclusions related to the payment of the relevant tax or indemnity); provided, however, that in no event shall any payment under this paragraph 3 exceed the amount
of corresponding tax or indemnity payment made by BNY or 4101 AUSTIN under paragraph 2 of this Supplemental Agreement or Article 39 of the Real Estate Lease or Article 38 of the Real Estate Sublease, as the case may be; and provided further, that
nothing herein shall entitle BNY or 4101 AUSTIN to examine FRUCTIBAIL’s tax returns or books and records. 
 4. FRUCTIBAIL and its Affiliates on the one
hand, and BNY and its Affiliates, on the other, will take such actions (in addition to claiming any available Tax Savings) as are available to it and requested by BNY or FRUCTIBAIL, as the case may be, to minimize any Withholding Tax required to be
paid with respect to the payment of any amounts under the Real Estate Lease or the Real Estate Sublease or any tax liability that is indemnified against under this Supplemental Agreement or Article 39 of the Real Estate Lease or Article 38 of the
Real Estate Sublease, as the case may be, provided such actions are, in the reasonable discretion of the party of whom the action is requested, determined not to be materially disadvantageous or cause unreasonable hardship to itself or its
Affiliates and provided expenses relating to such actions are borne by the other party. 
 FRUCTIBAIL will provide a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN,
including Part II thereof. Subject to an adverse Change of Law, FRUCTIBAIL will timely comply with any reasonable request to provide an additional IRS Form W-8BEN (or successor form). 

  

 3 

 
Any determination that a Change of Law has occurred and that such Change of Law has had an adverse impact on FRUCTIBAIL must be supported by an opinion of
counsel from a law firm of international standing. 
 5. Unless it has received and has delivered to each of the other parties an opinion of Dewey Ballantine
LLP or other internationally recognized tax counsel to the effect that based on a Change of Law there exists no reasonable basis for treating the Transaction as contemplated by this paragraph 5, BNY, 4101 AUSTIN and FRUCTIBAIL hereby agree that
solely for all US federal and any US state or local income, franchise, excise or similar tax purposes, BNY, 4101 AUSTIN and FRUCTIBAIL, to the extent FRUCTIBAIL is required by the US federal, state or local tax law or taxing authorities to take a
position with respect to the treatment of the Transaction for US federal, or any US state or local income, franchise, estate, inheritance, excise or similar tax purposes, shall treat the Transaction as one in which FRUCTIBAIL is treated as holding
an instrument described in Section 1275(a)(1)(A) of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) that has been issued by BNY or an Affiliate, and that such instrument is not connected to any US trade or business of
FRUCTIBAIL or any of its Affiliates. 
 FRUCTIBAIL will indemnify BNY, 4101 AUSTIN and any other member of the affiliated group of corporations that files a
consolidated US federal income tax return with BNY (collectively, the “BNY Indemnitees”), on an After-Tax Basis, from, against and in respect of all costs, liabilities, damages and taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any US
federal, state or local income taxes and any Withholding Tax imposed on any payment made by (i) 4101 AUSTIN to FRUCTIBAIL under the Real Estate Lease or (ii) BNY to FRUCTIBAIL under the Real Estate Sublease) incurred by any BNY Indemnitee as a
result of any breach by FRUCTIBAIL of (i) its obligations under the preceding sentence or (ii) one or more of the conditions described in Article 39 of the Real Estate Lease or Article 38 of the Real Estate Sublease. If any breach of
FRUCTIBAIL’s obligations pursuant to either of the first two sentences of this paragraph causes BNY or 4101 AUSTIN to pay a Gross-Up Amount to FRUCTIBAIL under either the Real Estate Sublease or the Real Estate Lease, FRUCTIBAIL will pay to the
party with such obligation an amount equal to such Gross-Up Amount (“Gross-Up Refund”). Any unpaid Gross-Up Refund will offset and net against any obligation of BNY or 4101 AUSTIN to pay a Gross-Up Amount. 
 6. Unless it has received and has delivered to each of the other parties an opinion of Allen & Overy LLP or other internationally recognized tax counsel to the
effect that based on a Change of Law there exists no reasonable basis for treating the Transaction as contemplated by this paragraph 6, BNY, 4101 AUSTIN and FRUCTIBAIL agree that solely for French tax purposes, each of FRUCTIBAIL, 4101 AUSTIN, and
BNY, to the extent 4101 AUSTIN or BNY is required by French tax law or tax authorities to take a position with respect to any such tax, shall respect the characterization of the Transaction under New York law as that of a lease of commercial real
estate properties between 4101 AUSTIN and FRUCTIBAIL, with 4101 AUSTIN as the owner/lessor and FRUCTIBAIL as the lessee, and a sublease between FRUCTIBAIL and BNY, with FRUCTIBAIL as the lessee/sublessor and BNY as the sublessee. 
 BNY will indemnify FRUCTIBAIL and its Affiliates (collectively, the “FRUCTIBAIL Indemnitees”), on an After-Tax Basis, from, against and in respect of all
costs, 

  

 4 

 
liabilities, damages and taxes (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any French income taxes and any Withholding Tax imposed on any payment made by (i)
FRUCTIBAIL to 4101 AUSTIN under the Real Estate Lease or (ii) FRUCTIBAIL to BNY under the Real Estate Sublease) incurred by FRUCTIBAIL as a result of any breach by BNY or 4101 AUSTIN of (i) its obligations under the preceding sentence or
(ii) one or more of the conditions described in Article 39 of the Real Estate Lease or Article 38 of the Real Estate Sublease. 
 If any breach of
BNY’s or 4101 AUSTIN’s obligation pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph causes FRUCTIBAIL to pay a Gross-Up Amount to BNY or 4101 AUSTIN under either the Real Estate Sublease or Real Estate Lease, BNY or 4101 AUSTIN, as the case
may be, will pay to FRUCTIBAIL an amount equal to such Gross-Up Amount (“Gross-Up Refund”). Any unpaid Gross-Up Refund will offset and net against any obligation of FRUCTIBAIL to pay a Gross-Up Amount. 
 FRUCTIBAIL represents that, effective prior to the Effective Date, FRUCTIBAIL has validly elected to be subject to French corporate income tax (impôt sur les
sociétés) under the provisions set out under articles 206.3 and 239 of the French Code général des impôts. FRUCTIBAIL agrees that, throughout the term of the Transaction, FRUCTIBAIL will not take (or
permit any of its Affiliates to take) any action whatsoever that will cause FRUCTIBAIL to cease being subject to French corporate income tax. 
 7.
FRUCTIBAIL shall indemnify the BNY Indemnitees, on an After-Tax Basis, from, against and in respect of (a) any tax (other than any Withholding Tax, which shall be governed by Article 39 of the Real Estate Lease and Article 38 of the Real Estate
Sublease) imposed by the Republic of France for which the Indemnified Person is or will be liable, to the extent that such tax (i) is attributable solely to the transactions contemplated by the documents executed in connection with Transaction
and (ii) is not attributable to or arising from an enterprise engaged in business operations in France by BNY or 4101 AUSTIN (within the meaning of Section 209-I of the Code Général des Impôts) and (b) any
interest, penalties, additions to tax for which the BNY Indemnitee is or will be liable to the Republic of France in connection with the tax liability referred to under (a) above to the extent such interest, penalties, additions to tax
(i) are attributable solely to the transactions contemplated by the documents executed in connection with Transaction and (ii) are not attributable to or arising from an enterprise engaged in business operations in France by BNY or 4101
AUSTIN (within the meaning of Section 209-I of the Code Général des Impôts). 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, FRUCTIBAIL shall have
no obligation to indemnify for any tax, interest, penalties, additions to tax or similar amounts pursuant to the foregoing sentence to the extent such tax, interest, penalties, additions to tax or similar amounts would not have been incurred but for
any breach or incorrectness of any representation, warranty, or covenant given by BNY or 4101 AUSTIN in any of the Real Estate Lease, Real Estate Sublease or this Supplemental Agreement. 
 8. Payment of any amounts owing pursuant to paragraphs 2, 4, 5, 6, or 7 hereof shall be made as follows: (i) to the extent such amount is an indemnity in respect of Withholding Tax, within 5 Business Days after
written demand therefor and (ii) with respect to any other amount, within 45 days of written demand therefor. Any written 

  

 5 

 
demand pursuant to the foregoing shall be made within 5 Business Days of the party becoming aware or should have become aware that any amount may be owing
and shall describe in reasonable detail the amount of and basis for the liability in respect of which the payment is to be made. If a party should have been aware that any amount was owing, but did not make a written demand within 5 Business Days of
that time, then any subsequent claim made pursuant to this paragraph shall only be effective for amounts arising from the date that the claim is actually made. 
 9. BNY and 4101 AUSTIN each hereby represents to FRUCTIBAIL, and FRUCTIBAIL hereby represents to BNY and 4101 AUSTIN, that: 
 (a) It is duly organized under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has the power and authority to execute and deliver this Supplemental Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. 
 (b) It has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution and delivery of this Supplemental Agreement and the performance of its
obligations hereunder, and this Supplemental Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on its behalf. This Supplemental Agreement constitutes its valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the

 (c) Its execution and delivery of this Supplemental Agreement, and the undertaking and performance of the obligations expressed to be
assumed by it hereunder, will not conflict with any requirement of its organizational or governing documents or result in a breach of or a default under applicable law, or any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or
in respect of any indebtedness in relation to which it is a guarantor or a surety, in a manner in which such conflict, breach or default would, in all reasonable likelihood, have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations
hereunder. No consent, license, approval or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of any agency or governmental authority or any other person is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of
this Supplemental Agreement by it or the validity or enforceability of this Supplemental Agreement which, if not obtained, would, in all reasonable likelihood, have a material adverse effect on its ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

 (d) It is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 (e) Its participation in the Transaction will not give rise to any obligations under Sections 6111 and 6112 of the Code.

 10. (a) No failure on the part of any party hereto to exercise, no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to any right, power or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Supplemental Agreement preclude any other or further exercise 

  

 6 

 
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by
law. 
 (b) This Supplemental Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. Each party hereto hereby:

provided by law. Each party hereto further agrees that any action or proceeding against it in respect to any matters arising out of or in any way relating to this Supplemental Agreement shall be brought only in the State of New York, County of New
York. FRUCTIBAIL hereby appoints CT Corporation System, having an office at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, NY 10001 as FRUCTIBAIL’s agent who shall be authorized to accept service of process on FRUCTIBAIL’s behalf. FRUCTIBAIL
shall have the right to appoint a successor agent upon notice to BNY and 4101 AUSTIN but, at all times, FRUCTIBAIL shall have a duly authorized agent for service of process in New York City.

 RECITALS: 
 WHEREAS, Guarantor owns,
directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding shares in 4101 Austin Boulevard Corp. (“Austin”), a New York corporation, and Natexis Banques Populaires, a French société anonyme, owns, directly or indirectly, all of
the equity interests in Fructibail. 
 WHEREAS, Austin, as Landlord, and Fructibail, as Tenant, are contemporaneously herewith entering into a Real Estate
Lease dated February 27, 2006 for the land and improvements located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York and One Wall Street, New York, New York (the “Real Estate Lease”). 
 WHEREAS, Guarantor, Austin and Fructibail are contemporaneously herewith entering into a Supplemental Agreement dated February 27, 2006, setting forth certain
additional understandings and agreements with respect to the Real Estate Lease (the “Supplemental Agreement”). 
 WHEREAS, the execution and
delivery of this Guarantee is a condition precedent to Austin entering into the Real Estate Lease. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and
as a material inducement to Fructibail to enter into the Real Estate Lease: 
 Section 1. Definitions and Interpretation.

 1.1 Certain Defined Terms. Except as expressly provided herein, terms defined in the Real Estate Lease are used herein as defined
therein. In addition, as used herein, the following term shall have the following meaning:

		  	BNCI Guarantee	  	2

 (b) Reference to any person (i) includes a reference to any individual, firm, joint venture, joint
stock company, company, corporation, trust, government, state, agency of a state, association or partnership, regardless of whether such person has legal personality; and (ii) includes such person’s successors and assigns but, if
applicable, only if such successors and assigns are permitted by the Real Estate Lease, and reference to a person in a particular capacity excludes such person in any other capacity or individually; 
 (c) Reference to any gender includes the other genders; 
 (d) Reference to any agreement (including this Guarantee and the Real Estate Lease), document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time to time in

 Section 2. The
Guarantee. 
 2.1 Guarantee. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) guarantees to Fructibail the due payment
and performance of Austin’s obligations under the Real Estate Lease and the Supplemental Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms thereof and (ii) agrees to reimburse Fructibail for, and hold Fructibail harmless from and
against, any and all losses, damages, claims, expenses, deficiencies, liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred, suffered or sustained by Fructibail and/or its successors and
assigns as a result of or arising out of, in connection with or resulting from, the enforcement of this Guarantee against Guarantor (the obligations of Guarantor under clauses (i) and (ii) above being referred to hereinafter, collectively,
as “Guaranteed Obligations”). If any deduction for any Withholding Tax is required by law to be made from any payment due under this Guarantee, Guarantor shall make the required deduction and remit the amount so deducted to the
appropriate governmental authority. In addition, Guarantor shall increase the amount of the payment as may be necessary so that the other party receives, after deduction of the required Withholding Tax (including any Withholding Tax imposed on the
additional payment required to be made pursuant to this sentence), the full amount that it would have received absent the imposition of such Withholding Tax; provided, however, the amount by which Guarantor shall increase any payment
shall not exceed the amount by which Austin would have been required to increase the payment on account of which the payment by Guarantor is being made if Austin had made such payment. 
  

					
		  	BNCI Guarantee	  	3

 2.2 Guaranteed Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of Guarantor under Section 2.1 hereof
are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Real Estate Lease, the value of Austin, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security
for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not affect the liability of Guarantor hereunder: 
 (a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations
shall be extended, or 
 (b) such performance or compliance shall be waived; 
 (c) any change in the existence, structure or ownership of Austin pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Real Estate Lease or the Real Estate Sublease or
otherwise or any assignment by the Landlord pursuant to Section 17.1 of the Real Estate Lease; 
 (d) any other circumstances relating
to the Guaranteed Obligations that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or defense to this Guarantee. 
 Guarantor hereby expressly
waives: all diligence in collection or protection of or realization upon any Guaranteed Obligation; all notices whatsoever; and any requirement that Fructibail exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed under the Real Estate Lease, or against any
other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. 
 2.3 Manner of Dealing. Fructibail,
without notice to Guarantor, shall have the right to deal in any manner it sees fit with any Guaranteed Obligation and with any security or guaranty for such Guaranteed Obligation, and, without limiting the foregoing, Fructibail may agree to
amendments or waivers under the Real Estate Lease, and may grant extensions or renewals of all or any part of any such Guaranteed Obligation, and may, at any time and from time to time, release all or any part of the security or guaranty for, or
demand or receive additional security or guaranty for, any such Guaranteed Obligation under the Real Estate Lease, or subordinate any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other obligations of or claim against any other guarantor, whether
owing to or existing in favor of Fructibail or any other party. 
 2.4 NBP’s Pursuit of Remedies. (a) Guarantor waives any and
all statutory or other right that guarantor may otherwise have to require Fructibail to (i) proceed against Austin any other guarantor; or (ii) pursue any other remedy in their power whatsoever. Guarantor waives any defense arising out of
the absence, impairment or loss of any right or remedy against Austin or any other guarantor or any such security whether resulting from the exercise by Fructibail of any right or remedy either of them may have against Austin or any other guarantor.

 (b) It is agreed that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be primary and this Guarantee shall be enforceable against Guarantor
without the necessity for any 

  

					
		  	BNCI Guarantee	  	4

 
suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by Fructibail against Austin or its respective successors or assigns or any other party or
against any security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and without the necessity of any notice of non-payment or non-observance or of any notice of acceptance of this Guarantee or of any notice of demand to which Guarantor might
otherwise be entitled (including, without limitation, diligence, presentment, notice of maturity, extension of time, protest, notice of dishonor or default, change in nature or form of the Guaranteed Obligations, acceptance of further security,
release of further security, imposition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations, notice of adverse change in Austin’s financial condition and any other fact that might materially increase the risk
to Guarantor), all of which Guarantor hereby expressly waives. This is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the validity of this Guarantee and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be
terminated, affected, diminished, modified or impaired by reason of the assertion of or the failure to assert by Fructibail against Austin, or its successors or assigns, any of the rights or remedies reserved to Fructibail pursuant to the provisions
of the Real Estate Lease. 
 2.5 Continuing Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be a continuing guaranty and the liability of Guarantor
hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, modified, impaired or diminished (to the extent permitted by law) by reason of the happening, from time to time, of any of the following, although without notice or the further consent of Guarantor:

 (a) any assignment, amendment, modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Real
Estate Lease or the invalidity or unenforceability of the foregoing; or 
 (b) Guarantor; or any extension of time that may be granted by
Fructibail to Austin or 
 (c) any action that Fructibail or Austin may take or fail to take under or respect of the Real Estate Lease or by
reason of any waiver of, or failure to enforce any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to Fructibail under this Guarantee or available to Fructibail at law, equity or otherwise, or any action on the part of Fructibail or Austin
granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever; or 
 (d) any dealing, transaction, matter or thing occurring between Fructibail and
Austin; or 
 (e) any sale, exchange, release, or other disposition of any property pledged, mortgaged or conveyed, or any property in which
Fructibail has been granted a lien or security interest to secure any indebtedness of Austin to Fructibail; or 
 (f) any release of any
person or entity who may be liable in any manner for the payment and collection of any amounts owed by Austin to Fructibail; or 
  

					
		  	BNCI Guarantee	  	5

 (g) any Tenant Termination Event (as such term is defined in the Real Estate Lease), whether or not
Fructibail has exercised any of its rights and remedies as set forth in the Real Estate Lease upon the happening of any such Tenant Termination Event; or 
 (h) Austin’s and/or Guarantor’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets and liabilities, appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
sequestrator or conservator for all or any part of Austin’s or Guarantor’s assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or the commencement of other
similar proceedings affecting Austin or Guarantor or any of the assets of either of them, including, without limitation, (A) the release or discharge of Austin from the payment and performance of its obligations under the Real Estate Lease by
operation of law, or (B) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability Austin, its partners or Guarantor in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations, under the Real Estate Lease, or
Guarantor’s liability under this Guarantee, resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or other present or future federal, state or applicable statute of law or from the decision in any
court; or 
 (i) any change in or termination of the ownership interest of Guarantor in Austin (whether direct or indirect). 
 Section 3. Representations and Warranties. 
 Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Fructibail that: 
 3.1 Corporate Charter and Authority.
Guarantor is a corporation duly incorporated and in good standing under the laws of the State of New York and has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Guarantee and to perform its obligations hereunder. 
 3.2 Authorization and Validity. Guarantor has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution and delivery of this Guarantee and the
performance of its obligations hereunder, and this Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of Guarantor. This Guarantee constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or similar laws and legal and equitable principles affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally. 
 3.3 No Conflict; Government Consent. The execution and delivery by Guarantor of this Guarantee, and the undertaking and
performance of the obligations expressed to be assumed by it hereunder, will not conflict with any requirement of Guarantor’s organizational or governing documents or result in a breach of or a default under the laws of the United States, or
any state or other political subdivision thereof, or any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound or in respect of any indebtedness in relation to which it is a guarantor or a surety, in a manner in which such 

  

					
		  	BNCI Guarantee	  	6

 
conflict, breach or default would, in all reasonable likelihood, have a material adverse effect on the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations
hereunder. No consent, license, approval or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of any agency or governmental authority or any other person is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of
this Guarantee by Guarantor or the validity or enforceability of this Guarantee which, if not obtained, would, in all reasonable likelihood, have a material adverse effect on the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder. 

3.4 No Investment Company. Guarantor is not an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended. 
 Section 4. Miscellaneous. 
 4.1 Waiver. No failure on the part of Fructibail to exercise, no delay in exercising and no course of dealing with respect to any right, power or privilege under the Real Estate Lease or this Guarantee shall operate as
a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Guarantee preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are
