ownership interest results in or provides such Person with immunity from the jurisdiction of courts within the U.S. or from the enforcement of judgments or writs of attachment on its assets or permits such Person (or such Governmental Authority or instrumentality) to reject, repudiate, disavow or disaffirm any contracts or agreements made by such Person.
“Benchmark” means, initially, LIBO Rate; provided that if a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBO Rate or the then-current Benchmark, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate pursuant to clause (c) or clause (d) of Section 2.14.

(2)    the sum of: (a) Daily Simple SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
(3)    the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for the then-current Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement benchmark rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a benchmark rate as a replacement for the then-current Benchmark for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment;
provided that, in the case of clause (1), such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; provided further that, in the case of clause (3), when such clause is used to determine the Benchmark Replacement in connection with the occurrence of an Other Benchmark Rate Election, the alternate benchmark rate selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be the term benchmark rate that is used in lieu of a LIBOR-based rate in the relevant other Dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities; provided further that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Term SOFR Transition Event, and the delivery of a Term SOFR Notice, on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date the “Benchmark Replacement” shall revert to and shall be deemed to be the sum of (a) Term SOFR and (b) the related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, as set forth in clause (1) of this definition (subject to the first proviso above).
[Justworks] Credit Agreement

If the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (1), (2) or (3) above would be less than the Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” means, with respect to any replacement of the then-current Benchmark with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for any applicable Interest Period and Available Tenor for any setting of such Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement:
(1) for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the first alternative set forth in the order below that can be determined by the Administrative Agent:
(a) the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that has been selected or recommended by the Relevant Governmental Body for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for the applicable Corresponding Tenor;
(b) the spread adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) as of the Reference Time such Benchmark Replacement is first set for such Interest Period that would apply to the fallback rate for a derivative transaction referencing the ISDA Definitions to be effective upon an index cessation event with respect to such Benchmark for the applicable Corresponding Tenor; and
(2) for purposes of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement,” the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower for the applicable Corresponding Tenor giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of such Benchmark with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities;
provided that, in the case of clause (1) above, such adjustment is displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such Benchmark Replacement Adjustment from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.
“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “CB Floating Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides in its reasonable discretion may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
6

thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).
“Benchmark Replacement Date” means the earliest to occur of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
(1)    in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2)    in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the first date on which such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) has been determined and announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) to be no longer representative; provided, that such non- representativeness will be determined by reference to the most recent statement or publication referenced in such clause (c) and even if any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) continues to be provided on such date;
(3)    in the case of a Term SOFR Transition Event, the date that is thirty (30) days after the date a Term SOFR Notice is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(d); or
(4)    in the case of an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, the sixth (6th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, is provided to the Lenders, so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, is provided to the Lenders, written notice of objection to such Early Opt-in Election or Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders.
For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if the event giving rise to the Benchmark Replacement Date occurs on the same day as, but earlier than, the Reference Time in respect of any determination, the Benchmark Replacement Date will be deemed to have occurred prior to the Reference Time for such determination and (ii) the “Benchmark Replacement Date” will be deemed to have occurred in the case of clause (1) or (2) with respect to any Benchmark upon the occurrence of the applicable event or events set forth therein with respect to all then-current Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof).
“Benchmark Transition Event” means the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to the then-current Benchmark:
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
7

(1)    a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof) announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof), permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof);
(2)    a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark (or the published component used in the calculation thereof), the Federal Reserve Board, the NYFRB, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component) or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark (or such component), which states that the administrator of such Benchmark (or such component) has ceased or will cease to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark (or such component thereof) permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark (or such component thereof); or

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 1.04(a) or in the definition of “Capital Lease Obligations,” any change in accounting for leases pursuant to GAAP resulting from the adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“FAS 842”), to the extent such adoption would require treating any lease (or similar arrangement conveying the right to use) as a capital lease where such lease (or similar arrangement) would not have been required to be so treated under GAAP as in effect on December 31, 2015, such lease shall not be considered a capital lease, and all calculations and deliverables under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made or delivered, as applicable, in accordance therewith.
SECTION 1.05 Interest Rates; LIBOR Notification. The interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, which is derived from the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”). LIBOR is intended to represent the rate at which contributing banks may obtain short-term borrowings from each other in the London interbank market. On March 5, 2021, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) publicly announced that: (a) immediately after December 31, 2021, publication of all seven euro LIBOR settings, all seven Swiss Franc LIBOR settings, the spot next, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings, the overnight, 1-week, 2-month and 12-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings, and the 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after June 30, 2023, publication of the overnight and 12-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will permanently cease; immediately after December 31, 2021, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month Japanese Yen LIBOR settings and the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month British Pound Sterling LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to consultation by the FCA, be provided on a changed methodology (or “synthetic”) basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored; and immediately after June 30, 2023, the 1-month, 3-month and 6-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings will cease to be provided or, subject to the FCA’s consideration of the case, be provided on a synthetic basis and no longer be representative of the underlying market and economic reality they are intended to measure and that representativeness will not be restored. There is no assurance that dates announced by the FCA will not change or that the administrator of LIBOR and/or regulators will not take further action that could impact the availability, composition, or characteristics of LIBOR or the currencies and/or tenors for which LIBOR is published. Each party to this agreement should consult its own advisors to stay informed of any such developments. Public and private sector industry initiatives are currently underway to identify new or alternative reference rates to be used in place of LIBOR. Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, Section 2.14(c) and (d) provide the mechanism for determining an alternative rate of interest. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, pursuant to Section 2.14(f), of any change to the reference rate upon which the interest rate on Term Benchmark Loans is based. However, the Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept any responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to, the administration, submission, performance or any other matter related to LIBOR or other rates in the definition of “LIBO Rate” or with respect to any alternative or successor rate thereto, or replacement rate thereof (including, without limitation, (i) any such 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
43

alternative, successor or replacement rate implemented pursuant to Section 2.14(c) or (d), whether upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, and (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes pursuant to Section 2.14(e)), including without limitation, whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement reference rate will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, the LIBO Rate or have the same volume or liquidity as did the London interbank offered rate prior to its discontinuance or unavailability. The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any CBFR, Daily Simple SOFR or the Term Benchmark Rate, any component thereof, or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
SECTION 1.06    Pro Forma Adjustments for Acquisitions and Dispositions. To the extent the Borrower or any Subsidiary makes any acquisition permitted pursuant to Section 6.04 or Disposition outside the ordinary course of business permitted by Section 6.05 during the period of four fiscal quarters of the Borrower most recently ended, EBITDA and Revenue shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto (including pro forma adjustments arising out of events which are directly attributable to the acquisition or the Disposition, are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact, in each case as determined on a basis consistent with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as interpreted by the SEC, and as certified by a Financial Officer of the Borrower), as if such acquisition or such Disposition (and any related incurrence, repayment or assumption of Indebtedness) had occurred in the first day of such four-quarter period.
SECTION 1.07    Status of Obligations. The Secured Obligations are hereby designated as “senior indebtedness” and as “designated senior indebtedness” and words of similar import under and in respect of any indenture or other agreement or instrument under which such Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding and are further given all such other designations as shall be required under the terms of any such Subordinated Indebtedness in order that the Lenders may have and exercise any payment blockage or other remedies available or potentially available to holders of senior indebtedness under the terms of such Subordinated Indebtedness.
SECTION 1.08    Letters of Credit. Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the amount of such Letter of Credit available to be drawn at such time; provided that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Letter of Credit Agreement related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the available amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum amount is available to be drawn at such time. For all purposes of this Agreement, if on any date of determination a Letter of Credit has expired by its terms but any amount may still be drawn thereunder by reason of the operation of Article 29(a) of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, International Chamber of Commerce Publication 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
44

No. 600 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or Rule 3.13 or Rule 3.14 of the International Standby Practices, International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 590 (or such later version thereof as may be in effect at the applicable time) or similar terms of the Letter of Credit itself, or if compliant documents have been presented but not yet honored, such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be “outstanding” and “undrawn” in the amount so remaining available to be paid, and the obligations of the Borrower and each Lender shall remain in full force and effect until the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall have no further obligations to make any payments or disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit.
SECTION 1.09    Divisions. For all purposes under the Loan Documents, in connection with any Division or plan of division under Delaware law (or any comparable event under a different jurisdiction’s laws): (a) if any asset, right, obligation or liability of any Person becomes the asset, right, obligation or liability of a different Person, then it shall be deemed to have been transferred from the original Person to the subsequent Person, and (b) if any new Person comes into existence, such new Person shall be deemed to have been organized and acquired on the first date of its existence by the holders of its Equity Interests at such time.
ARTICLE II

(a)    Each Loan (other than a Swingline Loan) shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans of the same Class and Type made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments of the applicable Class. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required. Any Swingline Loan shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.05.
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
45

(b)    Subject to Section 2.14, each Revolving Borrowing and Term Loan Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of CBFR Loans or Term Benchmark Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith, provided that all Revolving Borrowings made on the Effective Date must be made as CBFR Borrowings but may be converted into Term Benchmark Borrowings in accordance with Section 2.08. Each Swingline Loan shall be an CBFR Loan. Each Lender at its option may make any Term Benchmark Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan (and in the case of an Affiliate, the provisions of Sections 2.14, 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 shall apply to such Affiliate to the same extent as to such Lender); provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c)    At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term Benchmark Borrowing, such (i) Revolving Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 and (ii) Term Loan Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000; provided that a Term Benchmark Term Loan Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Term A Loan Commitments.

Each Swingline Loan shall be in an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000. Borrowings of more than one Type and Class may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be more than a total of five (5) Term Benchmark Borrowings outstanding.
(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or the Term A Maturity Date, as applicable.
SECTION 2.03    Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request either in writing (delivered by hand or fax) by delivering a Borrowing Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or through Electronic System, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent, (a) in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three Business Days before the date of the proposed Borrowing or (b) in the case of an CBFR Borrowing, not later than noon, Chicago time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing; provided that any such notice of an CBFR Revolving Borrowing to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 2.06(e) may be given not later than 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.01:
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
46

(i)    the Class of Borrowing, the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing, and a breakdown of the separate wires comprising such Borrowing;
(ii)    the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether such Borrowing is to be an CBFR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing; and
(iv)    in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the initial Interest Period to be applicable thereto, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period.”
If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be an CBFR Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term Benchmark Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.
SECTION 2.04    [Intentionally Omitted] 
SECTION 2.05    Swingline Loans
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from time to time during the Availability Period, the Swingline Lender may agree, but shall have no obligation, to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Commitment, (ii) the Swingline Lender’s Revolving Exposure exceeding its Revolving Commitment, or (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeding the aggregate Revolving Commitments; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be required to make a Swingline Loan to refinance an outstanding Swingline Loan. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by fax or through Electronic System, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent, not later than noon, Chicago time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan. Each such notice shall be in a form approved by the Administrative Agent, shall be irrevocable and shall specify the requested date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of the requested Swingline Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower, to the extent the Swingline Lender elects to make such Swingline Loan by means of a credit to the Funding Account(s) (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e), by remittance to the Issuing Bank, and in the case of repayment of another Loan or fees or expenses as provided by Section 2.18(c), by remittance to the Administrative Agent to be distributed to the Lenders) by 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan.
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
47

(b)    The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent require the Revolving Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the Revolving Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Revolving Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, promptly upon receipt of such notice from the Administrative Agent (and in any event, if such notice is received by 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on a Business Day no later than 4:00 p.m., Chicago time on such Business Day and if received after 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, “on a Business Day” shall mean no later than 9:00 a.m., Chicago time on the immediately succeeding Business Day), to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loan or Loans. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear; provided that any such payment so remitted shall be repaid to the Swingline Lender or to the Administrative Agent, as applicable, if and to the extent such payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of any default in the payment thereof.
SECTION 2.06    Letters of Credit.
(a)    General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may request any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit denominated in dollars as the applicant thereof for the support of its or its Subsidiaries’ obligations, in a form reasonably acceptable to such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period.
(b)    Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall hand deliver or fax (or transmit through Electronic System, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the respective Issuing Bank) to an Issuing Bank selected by it and 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
48

to the Administrative Agent (reasonably in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment or extension, but in any event no less than three Business Days) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with paragraph (c) of this Section), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition, as a condition to any such Letter of Credit issuance, the Borrower shall have entered into a continuing agreement (or other letter of credit agreement) for the issuance of letters of credit and/or shall submit a letter of credit application, in each case, as required by the respective Issuing Bank and using such Issuing Bank’s standard form (each, a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Letter of Credit Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure shall not exceed $30,000,000 (or such higher amount as may be agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent), (ii) no Revolving Lender’s Revolving Exposure shall exceed its Revolving Commitment and (iii) the Aggregate Revolving Exposure shall not exceed the aggregate Revolving Commitments. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue or modify any Letter of Credit if, immediately after giving effect thereto, the outstanding LC Exposure in respect of all Letters of Credit issued by such Person and its Affiliates would exceed such Issuing Bank’s Issuing Bank Sublimit. Without limiting the foregoing and without affecting the limitations contained herein, it is understood and agreed that the Borrower may from time to time request that an Issuing Bank issue Letters of Credit in excess of its individual Issuing Bank Sublimit in effect at the time of such request, and each Issuing Bank agrees to consider any such request in good faith. Any Letter of Credit so issued by an Issuing Bank in excess of its individual Issuing Bank Sublimit then in effect shall nonetheless constitute a Letter of Credit for all purposes of the Credit Agreement, and shall not affect the Issuing Bank Sublimit of any other Issuing Bank, subject to the limitations on the aggregate LC Exposure set forth in clause (i) of this Section 2.06(b).
An Issuing Bank shall not be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:
(i)     any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Requirement of Law relating to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, or 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
49

(ii)    the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
(c)    Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire (or be subject to termination or non-renewal by notice from the applicable Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereof) at or prior to the close of business on the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any extension of the expiration thereof, including, without limitation, any automatic renewal provision, one year after such extension) (provided, however, if such expiry date is after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, Borrower shall cash collateralize such Letter of Credit in accordance with paragraph (j) below no later than the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(d)    Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason, including after the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. Each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments.
(e)    Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is received after 9:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the day of receipt; provided that, if such LC Disbursement is greater than or equal to $500,000, the Borrower may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be financed with an CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrower’s obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting CBFR Revolving Borrowing or Swingline Loan. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof, and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Revolving Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
50

Borrower, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the respective Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the respective Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank, as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of CBFR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.
(f)    Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein or herein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) any payment by the respective Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Bank, or any of their respective Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit, or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the respective Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
51

payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(g)    Disbursement Procedures. The Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall, within the time allowed by applicable law or the specific terms of the Letter of Credit following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under such Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly after such examination notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by fax or through Electronic Systems) of such demand for payment if such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.
(h)    Interim Interest. If the Issuing Bank for any Letter of Credit shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to CBFR Revolving Loans and such interest shall be due and payable on the date when such reimbursement is due; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(c) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.
(i)    Replacement and Resignation of an Issuing Bank.
(i)    An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Revolving Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit then outstanding and issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or extend or otherwise amend any existing Letter of Credit.
(ii)    Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Issuing Bank, any Issuing Bank may resign as an Issuing Bank at any time upon thirty days’ prior written 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
52

notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders, in which case, such resigning Issuing Bank shall be replaced in accordance with Section 2.06(i)(i) above.
(j)    Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 102.5% of the amount of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Sections 2.11(b) or 2.20. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing or paragraph (c) of this Section, if any LC Exposure remains outstanding after the expiration date specified in said paragraph (c), the Borrower shall immediately deposit in the LC Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 102.5% of such LC Exposure as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over the LC Collateral Account and the Borrower hereby grants the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account and all moneys or other assets on deposit therein or credited thereto. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed, together with related fees, costs, and customary processing charges, and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing greater than 50% of the aggregate LC Exposure), be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after all such Events of Defaults have been cured or waived as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder under Section 2.22, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower as requested by the Borrower so long as LC Exposure of the applicable Defaulting Lender has been fully reallocated or eliminated.
(k)    Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions and amendments, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
53

the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement, and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(l)    Letters of Credit Issued for Account of Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder supports any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, or states that a Subsidiary is the “account party,” “applicant,” “customer,” “instructing party,” or the like of or for such Letter of Credit, and without derogating from any rights of the applicable Issuing Bank (whether arising by contract, at law, in equity or otherwise) against such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower (i) shall reimburse, indemnify and compensate the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for such Letter of Credit (including to reimburse any and all drawings thereunder) as if such Letter of Credit had been issued solely for the account of the Borrower and (ii) irrevocably waives any and all defenses that might otherwise be available to it as a guarantor or surety of any or all of the obligations of such Subsidiary in respect of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of such Letters of Credit for its Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
SECTION 2.07    Funding of Borrowings.
(a)    Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder on the proposed date thereof solely by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage; provided that Term Loans shall be made at such times and from time to time as provided in Sections 2.01(b) and 2.02(b) and Swingline Loans shall be made as provided in Section 2.05. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the funds so received in the aforesaid account of the Administrative Agent to the Funding Account(s); provided that CBFR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower each severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
54

Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to CBFR Revolving Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing; provided, that any interest received from the Borrower by the Administrative Agent during the period beginning when Administrative Agent funded the Borrowing until such Lender pays such amount shall be solely for the account of the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 2.08    Interest Elections.
(a)    Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, which may not be converted or continued.
(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election either in writing (delivered by hand or fax) by delivering an Interest Election Request signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or through Electronic System, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent, by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable.
(c)    Each Interest Election Request (including requests submitted through Electronic System) shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:
(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);
(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;
(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an CBFR Borrowing or a Term Benchmark Borrowing; and
(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
55

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the applicable Class of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Term Benchmark Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an CBFR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term Benchmark Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be converted to an CBFR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
SECTION 2.09    Termination or Reduction of Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments.
(a)    Unless previously terminated, (i) the Term A Commitments shall terminate on the Term A Draw Expiration Date, (ii) all the Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
(b)    The Borrower may at any time terminate in full or partially reduce the Revolving Commitments upon the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations; provided that (A) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (B) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the Aggregate Revolving Exposure would exceed the lesser of the aggregate Revolving Commitment.
(c)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
56

(d)    The Borrower shall have the right to increase the Revolving Commitments by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or another lending institution, provided that (i) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) the Borrower may make a maximum of 5 such requests, (iii) after giving effect thereto, the sum of the total of the additional Commitments does not exceed $25,000,000.00, (iv) the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank have approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld, (v) any such new Lender assumes all of the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, (vi) the procedures described in Section 2.09(e) below have been satisfied, and (v) the consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required if the Borrower shall have previously reduced the Revolving Commitment pursuant to Section 2.09. Nothing contained in this Section 2.09 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to increase its Commitment hereunder at any time.
(e)    Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each Lender being added or increasing its Commitment. As a condition precedent to such an increase or addition, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a certificate of each Loan Party signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (A) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (B) in the case of the Borrower, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase or addition, (1) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, (2) no Default exists and (3) the Borrower is in compliance (on a pro forma basis) with the covenants contained in Section 6.12 and (ii) legal opinions and documents consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date, to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent.
(f)    On the effective date of any such increase or addition, (i) any Lender increasing (or, in the case of any newly added Lender, extending) its Revolving Commitment shall make available to the Administrative Agent such amounts in immediately available funds as the Administrative Agent shall determine, for the benefit of the other Lenders, as being required in order to cause, after giving effect to such increase or addition and the use of such amounts to make payments to such other Lenders, each Lender’s portion of the outstanding Revolving Loans of all the Lenders to equal its revised Applicable Percentage of such outstanding Revolving Loans, and the Administrative Agent shall make such other adjustments among the Lenders with respect to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order to effect such reallocation and (ii) the Borrower shall be deemed to have repaid and reborrowed all outstanding Revolving Loans as of the date of any increase (or addition) in the Revolving Commitments (with such reborrowing to consist of the Types of Revolving Loans, with related Interest Periods if applicable, specified in a notice delivered by the Borrower, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.03). The deemed payments made pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and, in respect of each Term Benchmark Loan, shall be 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
57

subject to indemnification by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.16 if the deemed payment occurs other than on the last day of the related Interest Periods. Within a reasonable time after the effective date of any increase or addition, the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized and directed to, revise the Commitment Schedule to reflect such increase or addition and shall distribute such revised Commitment Schedule to each of the Lenders and the Borrower, whereupon such revised Commitment Schedule shall replace the old Commitment Schedule and become part of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.10    Repayment and Amortization of Loans; Evidence of Debt.
(a)    The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, and (ii) to the Swingline Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Swingline Loan on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and the fifth Business Day after such Swingline Loan is made; provided that on each date that a Revolving Loan is made, the Borrower shall repay all Swingline Loans then outstanding and the proceeds of any such Revolving Loan shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to repay any Swingline Loans outstanding.

To the extent not previously paid, all unpaid Term A Loans shall be paid in full in cash by the Borrower on the Term A Maturity Date.
(c)    Prior to any repayment of any Term Loan Borrowings of any Class under this Section, the Borrower shall select the Borrowing or Borrowings of the applicable Class to be repaid and shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by fax or through Electronic System), of such selection not later than 11:00 a.m., Chicago time, three (3) Business Days before the scheduled date of such repayment. Each repayment of a Term Loan Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid Term Loan Borrowing. Repayments of Term Loan Borrowings shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amounts repaid.
(d)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.
(e)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, if any, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become

(f)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(g)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form.
SECTION 2.11    Prepayment of Loans.
(a)    The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.09, in whole or in part, without premium, penalty or fee, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section and, if applicable, payment of any break funding expenses under Section 2.16.
(b)    In the event and on such occasion that the Aggregate Revolving Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall prepay the Revolving Loans, LC Exposure and/or Swingline Loans (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account in an aggregate amount equal to such excess, in accordance with Section 2.06(j)).

[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
59

(d)    (i) All prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.11(a) shall be applied (A) if made with respect to the Term Loans (and in the event Term Loans of more than one Class shall be outstanding at the time, shall be allocated among the Term Loans pro rata based on the aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans of each such Class), as so allocated, and shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Loans of each Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.10 ratably in accordance with the then outstanding amounts thereof or (B) if made with respect to the Revolving Loans (including Swingline Loans), to prepay such Loans in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentages without a corresponding reduction in the Revolving Commitments or the Swingline Commitment, as applicable and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure.
(ii)    All prepayments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.11(c) shall be applied, to prepay the Term Loans (and in the event Term Loans of more than one Class shall be outstanding at the time, shall be allocated among the Term Loans pro rata based on the aggregate principal amounts of outstanding Term Loans of each such Class) as so allocated, and shall be applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of Term Loans of each Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.10 ratably based on the amount of such scheduled repayments.
(e)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone (confirmed by fax) or through Electronic System, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Administrative Agent, of any prepayment under this Section: (i) in the case of prepayment of a Term Benchmark Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, three (3) Business Days before the date of prepayment, (ii) in the case of prepayment of an CBFR Borrowing, not later than 10:00 a.m., Chicago time, on the date of prepayment or (iii) in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, not later than 11:00 a.m. Chicago time, on the date of prepayment.

Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing or Term Loan shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02, except as necessary to apply fully the required amount of a mandatory prepayment. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing.

Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within ten (10) days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).
(c)    The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.
(d)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in dollars in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to an Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

61

(b)    The Loans comprising each Term Benchmark Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may, at their option, by notice to the Borrower (which notice may be revoked at the option of the Required Lenders notwithstanding any provision of Section 9.02 requiring the consent of “each Lender affected thereby” for reductions in interest rates), declare that (i) all Loans shall bear interest at 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loans as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount outstanding hereunder, such amount shall accrue at 2% plus the rate applicable to such fee or other obligation as provided hereunder.
(d)    Accrued interest on each Loan (for CBFR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar month) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and, in the case of Revolving Loans, upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an CBFR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(a)    Subject to clauses (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of this Section 2.14:
(i)    the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (A) prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable (including because the LIBO Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis), for such Interest Period; provided that no Benchmark Transition Event shall have occurred at such time; or
(ii)    the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (or, in the case of a Term Benchmark Loan, the Lender that is required to make such Loan) that prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Term Benchmark Borrowing, the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (or Lender) of making or 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
62

maintaining their Loans (or its Loan) included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders through an Electronic System as provided in Section 9.01 as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (A) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be ineffective and any such Term Benchmark Borrowing shall be repaid or converted to a CBFR Borrowing on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, and (B) if any Borrowing Request requests a Term Benchmark Borrowing, and the Borrower has not notified the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days before the date of such Term Benchmark Borrowing that it elects not to borrower on such date, such Borrowing shall be made as a CBFR Borrowing.
(b)    If any Lender determines that any Requirement of Law has made it unlawful, or if any Governmental Authority has asserted after the Effective Date that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, fund or continue any Term Benchmark Borrowing, or any Governmental Authority has imposed after the Effective Date material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender (provided, that before giving any notice to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligations of such Lender to make, maintain, fund or continue Term Benchmark Loans or to convert CBFR Borrowings to Term Benchmark Borrowings will be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers will upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), either prepay or convert all Term Benchmark Borrowings of such Lender to CBFR Borrowings, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term Benchmark Borrowings to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrowers will also pay accrued and unpaid interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event, an Early Opt-in Election or an other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then (x) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (y) if a Benchmark Replacement is determined in accordance with clause (3) of the definition of 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
63

“Benchmark Replacement” for such Benchmark Replacement Date, such Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Required Lenders of each Class.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document and subject to the proviso below in this paragraph, if a Term SOFR Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any setting of the then-current Benchmark, then the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then- current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Loan Document in respect of such Benchmark setting and subsequent Benchmark settings, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that, this clause (c) shall not be effective unless the Administrative Agent has delivered to the Lenders and the Borrower a Term SOFR Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver a Term SOFR Notice after a Term SOFR Transition Event and may do so in its sole discretion.
(e)    In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(f)    The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, a Term SOFR Transition Event, an Early Opt- in Election or an Other Benchmark Rate Election, as applicable, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to clause (d) below and (v) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.14, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.14.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (i) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or LIBO Rate) and either (A) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
64

publishes such rate from time to time as selected by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion or (B) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor and (ii) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (i) above either (A) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement) or (B) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then the Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(h)    Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any request for a Term Benchmark Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Term Benchmark Loans to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a Borrowing of or conversion to CBFR Loans. During any Benchmark Unavailability Period or at any time that a tenor for the then-current Benchmark is not an Available Tenor, the component of CBFR based upon the then-current Benchmark or such tenor for such Benchmark, as applicable, will not be used in any determination of CBFR.
SECTION 2.15    Increased Costs. 
(a)    If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, liquidity or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate) or the Issuing Bank; or
(ii)    impose on any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or
(iii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, continuing, converting into or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender, 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
65

the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, the Issuing Bank or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender or the Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    A certificate of a Lender or the Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or the Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided, further, that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 2.16    Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default or as a result of any prepayment pursuant to Section 2.11), but excluding any Term Benchmark Loan that is a Swingline Loan with an Interest Period as provided in clause (iii) of the proviso in the definition of “Interest Period”, (b) the conversion of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Term Benchmark Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.09(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Term Benchmark Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
66

applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19 or 9.02(d), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Term Benchmark Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Term Benchmark Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Term Benchmark Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Term Benchmark Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
SECTION 2.17    Withholding of Taxes; Gross-Up.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.
(c)    Evidence of Payment. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)    Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
67

deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Loan Party by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).
(f)    Status of Lenders.
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person, 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
68

(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an executed copy of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the U.S. is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)    an executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an executed copy of IRS Form W 8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(4)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or Exhibit D-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
69

be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This paragraph (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
70

make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document (including the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations).
(i)    Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “Lender” includes any Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.18    Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Setoffs.
(a)    The Borrower shall make each payment or prepayment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.15, 2.16 or 2.17, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., Chicago time, on the date when due or the date fixed for any prepayment hereunder, in immediately available funds, without setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn, Floor L2, Suite IL1-1145, Chicago, Illinois, 60603-2300, except payments to be made directly to the Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. Unless otherwise provided for herein, if any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.
(b)    All payments and any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting either (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrower), or (B) a mandatory prepayment (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.11) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), second, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower (other than in connection with Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations), third, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans ratably, fourth, to prepay principal on the Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the aggregate LC Exposure, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, and to pay any amounts owing in 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
71

respect of Swap Agreement Obligations and Banking Services Obligations up to and including the amount most recently provided to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.22, ratably (with amounts allocated to the Term Loans of any Class applied to reduce the subsequent scheduled repayments of the Term Loans of such Class to be made pursuant to Section 2.10 ratably based on the amount of such scheduled repayments), and fifth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligation due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from the Borrower or any other Loan Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Term Benchmark Loan of a Class, except (i) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (ii) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding CBFR Loans of the same Class and, in any such event, the Borrower shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply and reverse and reapply any and all such proceeds and payments to any portion of the Secured Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Secured Obligations arising under Banking Services Obligations or Swap Agreement Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above and paid in clause fifth if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may have reasonably requested from the applicable provider of such Banking Services or Swap Agreements.
(c)    At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, premiums, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation, all reimbursement for fees, costs and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03), and other sums payable under the Loan Documents, may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder, whether made following a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.05 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans), and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Sections 2.03 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest and fees as it becomes due hereunder or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.
(d)    If, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other similarly situated Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by all such Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
72

all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
(e)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received, prior to any date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank pursuant to the terms hereof or any other Loan Document (including any date that is fixed for prepayment by notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.11(e)), notice from the Borrower that the Borrower will not make such payment or prepayment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
(f)    The Administrative Agent may from time to time provide the Borrower with account statements or invoices with respect to any of the Secured Obligations (the “Statements”). The Administrative Agent is under no duty or obligation to provide Statements, which, if provided, will be solely for the Borrower’s convenience. Statements may contain estimates of the amounts owed during the relevant billing period, whether of principal, interest, fees or other Secured Obligations. If the Borrower pays the full amount indicated on a Statement on or before the due date indicated on such Statement, the Borrower shall not be in default of payment with respect to the billing period indicated on such Statement; provided that acceptance by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, of any payment that is less than the total amount actually due at that time (including but not limited to any past due amounts) shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to receive payment in full at another time.
SECTION 2.19    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a)    If any Lender or Issuing Bank requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or Issuing Bank or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender or Issuing Bank shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
73

funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender or Issuing Bank to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or Issuing Bank. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any Lender or Issuing Bank in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes (or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender) pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and other Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (and in circumstances where its consent would be required under Section 9.04, the Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and funded participations in LC Disbursements and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. Each party hereto agrees that (i) an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (ii) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to and be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
SECTION 2.20    Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender: 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
74

(a)    fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);
(b)    any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 2.18(b) or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to cash collateralize LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with this Section; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) cash collateralize future LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with this Section; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Banks or Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Commitments without giving effect to clause (d) below. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto;
(c)    such Defaulting Lender shall not have the right to vote on any issue on which voting is required (other than to the extent expressly provided in Section 9.02(b)) and the Commitment and Revolving Exposure and, if applicable, Term Commitment and Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether the Required Lenders have taken or may take 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
75

any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, except as otherwise provided in Section 9.02, this clause (b) shall not apply to the vote of a Defaulting Lender in the case of an amendment, waiver or other modification requiring the consent of such Lender or each Lender directly affected thereby;
(d)    if any Swingline Exposure or LC Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender then:
(i)    all or any part of the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender (other than, in the case of a Defaulting Lender that is a Swingline Lender, the portion of such Swingline Exposure referred to in clause (b) of the definition of such term) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages but only (x) to the extent that such reallocation does not, as to any non-Defaulting Lender, cause such non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Exposure to exceed its Revolving Commitment;
(ii)    if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall within one (1) Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent (x) first, prepay such Swingline Exposure and (y) second, cash collateralize, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, the Borrower’s obligations corresponding to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure (after giving effect to any partial reallocation pursuant to clause (i) above) in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;
(iii)    if the Borrower cash collateralizes any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;
(iv)    if the LC Exposure of the non-Defaulting Lenders is reallocated pursuant to clause (i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and 2.12(b) shall be adjusted in accordance with such non-Defaulting Lenders’ Applicable Percentages; and
(v)    if all or any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither reallocated nor cash collateralized pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Issuing Bank or any other Lender hereunder, all letter of credit fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Bank until and to the extent that such LC Exposure is reallocated and/or cash collateralized; and
(e)    so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend, renew, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure and such Defaulting Lender’s then outstanding LC Exposure will be 100% covered by the Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral will be provided by the 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
76

Borrower in accordance with Section 2.20(d), and Swingline Exposure related to any such newly made Swingline Loan or LC Exposure related to any newly issued or increased Letter of Credit shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.20(d)(i) (and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein).
If (i) a Bankruptcy Event or a Bail-In Action with respect to a Lender Parent shall occur following the date hereof and for so long as such event shall continue or (ii) the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank has a good faith belief that any Lender has defaulted in fulfilling its obligations under one or more other agreements in which such Lender commits to extend credit, the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, amend or increase any Letter of Credit, unless the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall have entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Lender, satisfactory to the Swingline Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, to defease any risk to it in respect of such Lender hereunder.
In the event that each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure and LC Exposure of the Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on the date of such readjustment such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Loans of the other Lenders (other than Swingline Loans) as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold such Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.
SECTION 2.21    Returned Payments. If, after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff), the Administrative Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion), then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section 2.21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 2.22    Banking Services and Swap Agreements. Each Lender or Affiliate thereof providing Banking Services for, or having Swap Agreements with, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, promptly after entering into such Banking Services or Swap Agreements, written notice setting forth the aggregate amount of all Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations of such Loan Party or Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof to such Lender or Affiliate (whether matured or unmatured, absolute or contingent). In furtherance of that requirement, each such Lender or Affiliate thereof shall furnish the Administrative Agent, from time to time after a significant 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
77

change therein or upon a request therefor, a summary of the amounts due or to become due in respect of such Banking Services Obligations and Swap Agreement Obligations. The most recent information provided to the Administrative Agent shall be used in determining which tier of the waterfall, contained in Section 2.18(b), such Banking Services Obligations and/or Swap Agreement Obligations will be placed. For the avoidance of doubt, so long as Chase or its Affiliate is the Administrative Agent, neither Chase nor any of its Affiliates providing Banking Services for, or having Swap Agreements with, any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of a Loan Party shall be required to provide any notice described in this Section 2.22 in respect of such Banking Services or Swap Agreements.

(b)    As of the Effective Date, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, the information included in the Beneficial Ownership Certification provided on or prior to the Effective Date to any Lender in connection with this Agreement is true and correct in all respects.

SECTION 3.16    Security Interest in Collateral. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents create legal and valid Liens on all the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and (upon taking the perfection action described in the Security Agreement), such Liens constitute perfected and continuing Liens on the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations, enforceable against the applicable Loan Party and all third parties, and having priority over all other Liens on the Collateral except in the case of (a) Permitted Encumbrances, to the extent any such Permitted Encumbrances would have priority over the Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to any applicable law and (b) Liens perfected only by possession (including possession of any certificate of title), to the extent the Administrative Agent has not obtained or does not maintain possession of such Collateral.

All payments due from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Loan Party or such Subsidiary, except for amounts not in excess of $5,000,000.

Following the application of the proceeds of each Borrowing or drawing under each Letter of Credit, not more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of any Loan Party only or of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis) will be Margin Stock.
SECTION 3.19    Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans have been used and will be used, whether directly or indirectly as set forth in Section 5.08.

None of (a) any Loan Party, any Subsidiary, any of their respective directors or officers or employees, or (b) to the knowledge of any such Loan Party or Subsidiary, any agent of such Loan Party or any Subsidiary that will act in any capacity in connection with or benefit from the credit facility established hereby, is a Sanctioned Person.

SECTION 3.22    EEA Financial Institutions. No Loan Party is an EEA Financial Institution.
SECTION 3.23    Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions.

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 8.01 Authorization and Action.
(a)    Each Lender, on behalf of itself and any of its Affiliates that are Secured Parties and each Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably appoints the entity named as Administrative Agent in the heading of this Agreement and its successors and assigns to serve as the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and each Lender and each Issuing Bank authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent under such agreements and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In addition, to the extent required under the laws of any jurisdiction other than within the United States, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby grants to the Administrative Agent any required powers of attorney to execute and enforce any Collateral Document governed by the laws of such jurisdiction on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s behalf. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Loan Documents to which the Administrative Agent is a party, and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Administrative Agent may have under such Loan Documents.
(b)    As to any matters not expressly provided for herein and in the other Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, pursuant to the terms in the Loan Documents), and, unless and until revoked in writing, such instructions shall be binding upon each Lender and each Issuing Bank; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that (i) the Administrative Agent in 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
108

good faith believes exposes it to liability unless the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification and is exculpated in a manner satisfactory to it from the Lenders and the Issuing Banks with respect to such action or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any requirement of law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors; provided, further, that the Administrative Agent may seek clarification or direction from the Required Lenders prior to the exercise of any such instructed action and may refrain from acting until such clarification or direction has been provided. Except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Administrative Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(c)    In performing its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent is acting solely on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks (except in limited circumstances expressly provided for herein relating to the maintenance of the Register), and its duties are entirely mechanical and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i)    the Administrative Agent does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or duty or any other relationship as the agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender, Issuing Bank, or any other Secured Party other than as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” (or any similar term) herein or in any other Loan Document with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary duty or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties); additionally, each Lender agrees that it will not assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby;
(ii)    nothing in this Agreement or any Loan Document shall require the Administrative Agent to account to any Lender for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by the Administrative Agent for its own account;
(d)    The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that any such sub-agent receiving 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
109

payments from the Loan Parties shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1. The Administrative Agent and any such sub- agent may perform any of their respective duties and exercise their respective rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agent except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agent.
(e)    Arranger shall not have obligations or duties whatsoever in such capacity under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and shall incur no liability hereunder or thereunder in such capacity, but all such persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.
(f)    In case of the pendency of any proceeding with respect to any Loan Party under any Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law now or hereafter in effect, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any LC Disbursement shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Disbursements and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim under Sections 2.12, 2.13, 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each other Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the other Secured Parties, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent, under the Loan Documents (including under Section 9.03). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Bank any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or Issuing Bank or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or Issuing Bank in any such proceeding.
(g)    The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrower’s rights to 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
110

consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary under any such provisions. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Guarantees of the Secured Obligations provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.
SECTION 8.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Limitation of Liability, Etc.
(a)    Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be (i) liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by such party, the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (x) with the consent of or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or (y) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed pdf. or any other electronic means that reproduces an image of an actual executed signature page) or for any failure of any Loan Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any (i) notice of any of the events or circumstances set forth or described in Section 5.02 unless and until written notice thereof stating that it is a “notice under Section 5.02” in respect of this Agreement and identifying the specific clause under said Section is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, or (ii) notice of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of Default” or a “notice of an Event of Default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or an Issuing Bank. Further, the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered thereunder or in connection therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items (which on their face purport to be such items) expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent or satisfaction of any condition that expressly refers to the matters described therein being acceptable or satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or (vi) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral.
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
111

(c)    Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent (i) may treat the payee of any promissory note as its holder until such promissory note has been assigned in accordance with Section 9.04, (ii) may rely on the Register to the extent set forth in Section 9.04(b), (iii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts, (iv) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or Issuing Bank and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Issuing Bank for any statements, warranties or representations made by or on behalf of any Loan Party in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) in determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender or Issuing Bank sufficiently in advance of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (vi) shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon, any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which writing may be a fax, any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper party or parties (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the maker thereof).
SECTION 8.03 Posting of Communications.
(a)    The Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make any Communications available to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by posting the Communications on IntraLinksTM, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic system chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”).
(b)    Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Effective Date, a user ID/password authorization system) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure, that the Administrative Agent is not responsible for approving or vetting the representatives or contacts of any Lender that are added to the Approved Electronic Platform, and that there may be confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower hereby approves distribution of the Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution.
(c)    THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE APPLICABLE PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
112

OR COMPLETENESS OF THE COMMUNICATIONS, OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND THE COMMUNICATIONS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY THE APPLICABLE PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ARRANGER OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RELATED PARTIES (COLLECTIVELY, “APPLICABLE PARTIES”) HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY’S OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
“Communications” means, collectively, any notice, demand, communication, information, document or other material provided by or on behalf of any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein which is distributed by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank by means of electronic communications pursuant to this Section, including through an Approved Electronic Platform.
(d)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) specifying that Communications have been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform shall constitute effective delivery of the Communications to such Lender for purposes of the Loan Documents. Each Lender and Issuing Bank agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which could be in the form of electronic communication) from time to time of such Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s (as applicable) email address to which the foregoing notice may be sent by electronic transmission and (ii) that the foregoing notice may be sent to such email address.
(e)    Each of the Lenders, each of the Issuing Banks and the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally applicable document retention procedures and policies.
(f)    Nothing herein shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank to give any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document in any other manner specified in such Loan Document.
SECTION 8.04    The Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Commitment, Loans (including Swingline Loans) and Letters of Credit, the Person serving as the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be. The terms “Issuing Banks”, “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” and any similar 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
113

terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender, Issuing Bank or as one of the Required Lenders, as applicable. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing as if such Person was not acting as the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.
SECTION 8.05    Successor Administrative Agent.
(a)    The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whether or not a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York or an Affiliate of any such bank. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
(b)    Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in the event no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its intent to resign, the retiring Administrative Agent may give notice of the effectiveness of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower, whereupon, on the date of effectiveness of such resignation stated in such notice, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided that, solely for purposes of maintaining any security interest granted to the Administrative Agent under any Collateral Document for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to be vested with such security interest as collateral agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and continue to be entitled to the rights set forth in such Collateral Document and Loan Document, and, in the case of any Collateral in the possession of the Administrative Agent, shall continue to hold such Collateral, in each case until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and accepts such appointment in accordance with this Section (it being understood and agreed that the retiring Administrative Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take any 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
114

further action under any Security Document, including any action required to maintain the perfection of any such security interest), and (ii) the Required Lenders shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent; provided that (A) all payments required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Person other than the Administrative Agent shall be made directly to such Person and (B) all notices and other communications required or contemplated to be given or made to the Administrative Agent shall directly be given or made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank. Following the effectiveness of the Administrative Agent’s resignation from its capacity as such, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03, as well as any exculpatory, reimbursement and indemnification provisions set forth in any other Loan Document, shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and in respect of the matters referred to in the proviso under clause (a) above.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, any successor Administrative Agent shall be a “U.S. person” and a “financial institution” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1441-1.
SECTION 8.06    Acknowledgements of Lenders and Issuing Banks.
(a)    Each Lender and each Issuing Bank represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility, (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and in providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender or Issuing Bank, in each case in the ordinary course of business, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument (and each Lender and each Issuing Bank agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing),(iii) it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder and (iv) it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, or any other Lender or Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
[Justworks] Credit Agreement

(b)    Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement on the Effective Date, or delivering its signature page to an Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall become a Lender hereunder, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Loan Document and each other document required to be delivered to, or be approved by or satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders on the Effective Date or the effective date of any such Assignment and Assumption or any other Loan Document pursuant to which it shall have become a Lender hereunder.
(c)    Each Lender hereby agrees that (i) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (ii) the Administrative Agent (A) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (B) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (iii) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (iv) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (v) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, (A) it will hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from any action the indemnifying Lender may take or conclusion the indemnifying Lender may reach or draw from any Report in connection with any extension of credit that the indemnifying Lender has made or may make to the Borrower, or the indemnifying Lender’s participation in, or the indemnifying Lender’s purchase of, a Loan or Loans; and (B) it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any such other Person as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.
(d)    (i) Each Lender hereby agrees that (x) if the Administrative Agent notifies such Lender that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Lender from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (whether as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees or otherwise; individually and collectively, a "Payment") were erroneously transmitted to such Lender (whether or not known to such Lender), and demands the return of such Payment (or a portion thereof), such Lender shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, and (y) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to the Administrative Agent, any claim, counterclaim, defense or 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
116

right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Payments received, including without limitation any defense based on "discharge for value" or any similar doctrine. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender under this Section 8.06(d) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(ii)    Each Lender hereby further agrees that if it receives a Payment from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such Payment (a "Payment Notice") or (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a Payment Notice, it shall be on notice, in each such case, that an error has been made with respect to such Payment. Each Lender agrees that, in each such case, or if it otherwise becomes aware a Payment (or portion thereof) may have been sent in error, such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such occurrence and, upon demand from the Administrative Agent, it shall promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.
(iii)    The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby agrees that (x) in the event an erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) are not recovered from any Lender that has received such Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Lender with respect to such amount and (y) an erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party.
(iv)    Each party's obligations under this Section 8.06(d) shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
SECTION 8.07    Collateral Matters.
(a)    Except with respect to the exercise of setoff rights in accordance with Section 9.08 or with respect to a Secured Party’s right to file a proof of claim in an insolvency proceeding, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guarantee of the Secured Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof. In its capacity, the Administrative Agent is a “representative” of the Secured Parties within the meaning of the term “secured party” as defined in the UCC. In the event that any Collateral is hereafter pledged by any Person as collateral security for the Secured Obligations, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, and hereby granted a power of attorney, to execute and deliver on behalf of the Secured 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
117

Parties any Loan Documents necessary or appropriate to grant and perfect a Lien on such Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.
(b)    In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, no arrangements in respect of Banking Services the obligations under which constitute Secured Obligations and no Swap Agreement the obligations under which constitute Secured Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the obligations of any Loan Party under any Loan Document. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, each Secured Party that is a party to any such arrangement in respect of Banking Services or Swap Agreement, as applicable, shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.
(c)    The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.02(b). The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders or any other Secured Party for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
SECTION 8.08    Credit Bidding. The Secured Parties hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, to credit bid all or any portion of the Obligations (including by accepting some or all of the Collateral in satisfaction of some or all of the Obligations pursuant to a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) and in such manner purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the Collateral (a) at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under Sections 363, 1123 or 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar laws in any other jurisdictions to which a Loan Party is subject, or (b) at any other sale, foreclosure or acceptance of collateral in lieu of debt conducted by (or with the consent or at the direction of) the Administrative Agent (whether by judicial action or otherwise) in accordance with any applicable law. In connection with any such credit bid and purchase, the Obligations owed to the Secured Parties shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid by the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims receiving contingent interests in the acquired assets on a ratable basis that shall vest upon the liquidation of such claims in an amount proportional to the liquidated portion of the contingent claim amount used in allocating the contingent interests) for the asset or assets so purchased (or for the equity interests or debt instruments of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles that are issued in connection with such purchase). In connection with any such bid (i) the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to form one or more acquisition vehicles and to assign any successful credit bid to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles (ii) each of the Secured Parties’ ratable interests in the Obligations which were credit bid shall be deemed without any further action under this Agreement to be assigned to such vehicle or vehicles for the purpose of closing such sale, (iii) the 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
118

Administrative Agent shall be authorized to adopt documents providing for the governance of the acquisition vehicle or vehicles (provided that any actions by the Administrative Agent with respect to such acquisition vehicle or vehicles, including any disposition of the assets or equity interests thereof, shall be governed, directly or indirectly, by, and the governing documents shall provide for, control by the vote of the Required Lenders or their permitted assignees under the terms of this Agreement or the governing documents of the applicable acquisition vehicle or vehicles, as the case may be, irrespective of the termination of this Agreement and without giving effect to the limitations on actions by the Required Lenders contained in Section 9.02 of this Agreement), (iv) the Administrative Agent on behalf of such acquisition vehicle or vehicles shall be authorized to issue to each of the Secured Parties, ratably on account of the relevant Obligations which were credit bid, interests, whether as equity, partnership interests, limited partnership interests or membership interests, in any such acquisition vehicle and/or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle, all without the need for any Secured Party or acquisition vehicle to take any further action, and (v) to the extent that Obligations that are assigned to an acquisition vehicle are not used to acquire Collateral for any reason (as a result of another bid being higher or better, because the amount of Obligations assigned to the acquisition vehicle exceeds the amount of Obligations credit bid by the acquisition vehicle or otherwise), such Obligations shall automatically be reassigned to the Secured Parties pro rata with their original interest in such Obligations and the equity interests and/or debt instruments issued by any acquisition vehicle on account of such Obligations shall automatically be cancelled, without the need for any Secured Party or any acquisition vehicle to take any further action. Notwithstanding that the ratable portion of the Obligations of each Secured Party are deemed assigned to the acquisition vehicle or vehicles as set forth in clause (ii) above, each Secured Party shall execute such documents and provide such information regarding the Secured Party (and/or any designee of the Secured Party which will receive interests in or debt instruments issued by such acquisition vehicle) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the formation of any acquisition vehicle, the formulation or submission of any credit bid or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such credit bid.
SECTION 8.09    Certain ERISA Matters.
(a)    Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i)    such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations) of one or more Benefit Plans in connection with the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments,
(ii)    the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
119

transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii)    (A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv)    such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b)    In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or such Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant as provided in sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, or any Arranger or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the Collateral or the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).
(c)    The Administrative Agent and each Arranger hereby informs the Lenders that each such Person is not undertaking to provide investment advice or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that such Person has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that such Person or an Affiliate thereof (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Commitments by such Lender or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise, including structuring fees, commitment fees, arrangement fees, facility fees, upfront fees, underwriting fees, ticking fees, agency fees, administrative agent or collateral agent fees, utilization fees, minimum usage fees, letter of credit

SECTION 8.10    Flood Laws. Chase has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated lenders under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and related legislation (the “Flood Laws”). Chase, as administrative agent or collateral agent on a syndicated facility, will post on the applicable electronic platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender in the syndicate) documents that it receives in connection with the Flood Laws. However, Chase reminds each Lender and Participant in the facility that, pursuant to the Flood Laws, each federally regulated Lender (whether acting as a Lender or Participant in the facility) is responsible for assuring its own compliance with the flood insurance requirements.

SECTION 9.02 Waivers; Amendments.
(a)    No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b)    Subject to Section 2.14(c), (d) and (e) and Section 9.02(e) below, neither this Agreement nor any other Loan Document nor any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (A) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), (B) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby (except that any amendment or modification of the financial covenants in this Agreement (or defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (B)), (C) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender (including any such Lender that is a Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (D) change Section 2.09 or Section 2.18(b) or (d) in a manner that would alter the ratable reduction of Commitments or the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (E) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders (or Lenders of any Class) required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) directly affected thereby, (F) change Section 2.20, without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (G) release any Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), or (H) except as provided 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
123

in clause (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release all or substantially all of the Collateral without the written consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be (it being understood that any amendment to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Bank); provided, further, that no such agreement shall amend or modify the provisions of Section 2.06 without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks. The Administrative Agent may also amend the Commitment Schedule to reflect assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04. Any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that by its terms affects the rights or duties under this Agreement of the Lenders of one or more Classes (but not the Lenders of any other Class), may be effected by an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the requisite number or percentage in interest of each affected Class of Lenders that would be required to consent thereto under this Section if such Class of Lenders were the only Class of Lenders hereunder at the time.
(c)    The Lenders and the Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (i) upon the Payment in Full of all Secured Obligations, and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interests of a Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guaranty provided by such Subsidiary, (iii) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement, or (iv) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $2,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders (it being agreed that the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on one or more certificates of the Borrower as to the value of any Collateral to be so released, without further inquiry). Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Any execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent of documents in connection with any such release shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.
(d)    If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
124

is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but has not been obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement, provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non- Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (1) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non- Consenting Lender by the Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (2) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants), and (b) the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective and shall be deemed to have consented to an be bound by the terms thereof; provided that, following the effectiveness of any such assignment, the other parties to such assignment agree to execute and deliver such documents necessary to evidence such assignment as reasonably requested by the applicable Lender, provided that any such documents shall be without recourse to or warranty by the parties thereto.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of the Borrower only, amend, modify or supplement this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency.
SECTION 9.03    Expenses; Limitation of Liability; Indemnity; Etc.
(a)    Expenses. The Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall pay all (i) reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent (limited to one primary counsel, one local counsel in each reasonably necessary jurisdiction, one specialty counsel in each reasonably necessary specialty area, and one or more additional counsel if one or more actual or perceived conflicts of interest arise), in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through an Electronic System or Approved Electronic Platform) of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration (other than internal overhead) of the Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) reasonable out-of- pocket expenses incurred by the Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) out-

Expenses being reimbursed by the Loan Parties under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with:
(A)    appraisals and insurance reviews;
(B)    field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination;

This Section 9.03(c) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

asserted against such Agent-Related Person in its capacity as such; provided, further, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such Liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations.
(e)    Payments. All amounts due under this Section 9.03 shall be payable after written demand therefor.

For the purposes of this Section 9.04(b), the terms “Approved Fund” and “Ineligible Institution” have the following meanings:
“Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.
“Ineligible Institution” means a (a) natural person, (b) a Defaulting Lender or its Lender Parent, (c) holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person or relative(s) thereof; provided that, with respect to clause (c), such holding company, investment vehicle or trust shall not constitute an Ineligible Institution if it (x) has not been established for the primary purpose of acquiring any Loans or Commitments, (y) is managed by a professional advisor, who is not such natural person or a relative thereof, having significant experience in the business of making or purchasing commercial loans, and (z) has assets greater than $25,000,000 and a significant part of its activities consist of making or purchasing commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business or (d) a Loan Party or a Subsidiary or other Affiliate of a Loan Party or (c) so long as no Event of Default exists, any Competitor.
(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03) with respect to matters arising prior to the effective date of any such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.
(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
130

terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(v)    Upon its receipt of (x) a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee or (y) to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Assumption by reference pursuant to an Approved Electronic Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and the parties to the Assignment and Assumption are participants, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(d), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.
(c)    Any Lender may, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or the Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) other than an Ineligible Institution in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Sections 2.17(f) and (g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender and the information and documentation required under Section 2.17(g) will be delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.15 or 2.17 with respect to any participation than its participating Lender would have been entitled to 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
131

receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(d)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 9.05    Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
132

or the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof.
SECTION 9.06    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
(a)    This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to (i) fees payable to the Administrative Agent and (ii) increases or reductions of the Issuing Bank Sublimit of the Issuing Bank constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower and each Loan Party hereby (A) agrees that, for all purposes, including without limitation, in connection with any workout, restructuring, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy proceedings or litigation among the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower and the Loan Parties,

SECTION 9.07    Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other obligations at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Bank or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Secured Obligations owing to such Lender or such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, Issuing Bank or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Loan Parties may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Bank different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.20 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Secured Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The applicable Lender, the Issuing Bank or such Affiliate shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such setoff or application; provided that the failure to 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
134

give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Bank and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Bank or their respective Affiliates may have.

ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWER AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW.
SECTION 9.13 Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender hereby represents that it is not relying on or looking to any margin stock (as defined in Regulation U of the Federal Reserve Board) for the repayment of the Borrowings provided for herein. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrower in violation of any Requirement of Law.
SECTION 9.14 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act hereby notifies each Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the USA PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 9.15 Disclosure. Each Loan Party, each Lender and the Issuing Bank hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and/or its Affiliates from time to time may hold investments in, make other loans to or have other relationships with, any of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates.
SECTION 9.16 Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
137

and the Secured Parties, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.
SECTION 9.17 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the NYFRB Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 9.18 No Fiduciary Duty, etc.
(a)    The Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that no Credit Party will have any obligations except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents and each Credit Party is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person. The Borrower agrees that it will not assert any claim against any Credit Party based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by such Credit Party in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Additionally, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no Credit Party is advising the Borrower as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting, regulatory or any other matters in any jurisdiction. The Borrower shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated herein or in the other Loan Documents, and the Credit Parties shall have no responsibility or liability to the Borrower with respect thereto.
(b)    The Borrower further acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party, together with its Affiliates, is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services. In the ordinary course of business, any Credit Party may provide investment banking and other financial services to, and/or acquire, hold or sell, for its own accounts and the accounts of customers, equity, debt and other securities and financial instruments (including bank loans and other obligations) of, the Borrower and other companies with which the Borrower may have commercial or other relationships. With respect to any securities and/or financial instruments so held by any Credit Party or any of its customers, all rights in respect of 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
138

such securities and financial instruments, including any voting rights, will be exercised by the holder of the rights, in its sole discretion.
(c)    In addition, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Subsidiaries’ understanding, that each Credit Party and its affiliates may be providing debt financing, equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to other companies in respect of which the Borrower may have conflicting interests regarding the transactions described herein and otherwise. No Credit Party will use confidential information obtained from the Borrower by virtue of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or its other relationships with the Borrower in connection with the performance by such Credit Party of services for other companies, and no Credit Party will furnish any such information to other companies. The Borrower also acknowledges that no Credit Party has any obligation to use in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, or to furnish to the Borrower, confidential information obtained from other companies.
SECTION 9.19 Marketing Consent. The Borrower hereby authorizes Chase and its affiliates (collectively, the “Chase Parties”), at their respective sole expense, and without any prior approval by the Borrower, to include the Borrower’s name and logo in advertising, marketing, tombstones, case studies and training materials, and to give such other publicity to this Agreement as Chase Parties may from time to time determine in their sole discretion. The foregoing authorization shall remain in effect unless the Borrower notifies Chase in writing that such authorization is revoked.
SECTION 9.20 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable: 
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent entity, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
139

SECTION 9.21 Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs.
(a)    To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Swap Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(b)    In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
ARTICLE X 
LOAN GUARANTY
SECTION 10.01 Guaranty. Each Loan Guarantor (other than those that have delivered a separate Guarantee) hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Secured Parties, the prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees (including allocated costs of in-house counsel and paralegals) and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” shall not create any guarantee 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
140

by any Loan Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Loan Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan Guarantor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Loan Guarantor. Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guaranty apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 10.02 Guaranty of Payment. This Loan Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to sue the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor of, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or otherwise to enforce its payment against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 10.03 No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guaranty.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party, or their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transactions.
(b)    The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.
(c)    Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection, or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of the Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other Obligated Party liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
141

or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations).
SECTION 10.04 Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other Obligated Party, other than the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party, or any other Person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guaranty, except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been Paid in Full. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.
SECTION 10.05 Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders.
SECTION 10.06 Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Secured Party in its discretion), each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guaranty with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders are in possession of this Loan Guaranty. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent. 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
142

SECTION 10.07 Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guaranty, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
SECTION 10.08 Termination. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank may continue to make loans or extend credit to the Borrower based on this Loan Guaranty until five (5) days after it receives written notice of termination from any Loan Guarantor. Notwithstanding receipt of any such notice, each Loan Guarantor will continue to be liable to the Lenders for any Guaranteed Obligations created, assumed or committed to prior to the fifth day after receipt of the notice, and all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications and amendments with respect to, or substitutions for, all or any part of such Guaranteed Obligations. Nothing in this Section 10.08 shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of, or eliminate, limit, reduce or otherwise impair any rights or remedies the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have in respect of, any Default or Event of Default that shall exist under Article VII hereof as a result of any such notice of termination.
SECTION 10.09 Taxes. Each payment of the Guaranteed Obligations will be made by each Loan Guarantor without withholding for any Taxes, unless such withholding is required by law. If any Loan Guarantor determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it is so required to withhold Taxes, then such Loan Guarantor may so withhold and shall timely pay the full amount of withheld Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. If such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the amount payable by such Loan Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that, net of such withholding (including such withholding applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section), the Administrative Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives the amount it would have received had no such withholding been made.
SECTION 10.10 Maximum Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Loan Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Voidable Transactions Act or similar statute or common law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Loan Guarantor may have under this Loan Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.
SECTION 10.11 Contribution.
(a)    To the extent that any Loan Guarantor shall make a payment under this Loan Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Loan Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Loan Guarantor if each Loan Guarantor 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
143

had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Loan Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Loan Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment, the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Agreement, such Loan Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Loan Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.
(b)    As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Loan Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Loan Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Loan Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Loan Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Loan Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.
(c)    This Section 10.11 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Loan Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 10.11 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Loan Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Loan Guaranty.
(d)    The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Loan Guarantor or Loan Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
(e)    The rights of the indemnifying Loan Guarantors against other Loan Guarantors under this Section 10.11 shall be exercisable upon the Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 10.12 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.
SECTION 10.13 Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of a Swap Obligation (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 10.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 10.13 or otherwise under this Loan Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). Except as otherwise provided herein, the obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 10.13 shall remain in full force and effect until 
[Justworks] Credit Agreement 
144

the termination of all Swap Obligations. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 10.13 constitute, and this Section 10.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
SECTION 10.14 Releases. The Administrative Agent agrees to release any Loan Guarantor (other than the Borrower) from its obligations under this Loan Guaranty (a) in connection with any Disposition of (x) Equity Interests of such Loan Guarantor or (y) all or substantially all of the assets of such Loan Guarantor, in each case, if (i) such Disposition is permitted hereunder (or consented to by the Required Lenders) and (ii) such Disposition is not being made for the primary purpose of causing the release of the Loan Guaranty; or (b) upon Payment in Full. The Administrative Agent agrees to release the Borrower from its obligations under this Loan Guaranty upon Payment in Full. Upon any occurrence giving rise to a release of a Loan Guarantor as specified above, the Administrative Agent will, at the direction of and sole cost of the Loan Parties, execute any documents reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to evidence or effect such release, termination and discharge in respect of this Loan Guaranty. Upon any release of a Loan Guarantor from its Guarantee, such Loan Guarantor shall also be released from its obligations under the Collateral Documents subject to the provisions of Section 9.02(c).

(B)    for the Third Rent Period, at the annual rate of $1,895,880.00, payable in equal monthly installments of $157,990.00; 
provided, that if the Additional Space Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, then Fixed Rent payable with respect to the Additional Space for the month in which the Additional Space Rent Commencement Date occurs shall be appropriately prorated.

(d)    Promptly after the occurrence of the Additional Space Inclusion Date, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the occurrence thereof and the inclusion of the Additional Space in the Premises by executing an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant; provided, that failure by Landlord or Tenant to execute such instrument shall not affect the inclusion of the Additional Space in the Premises in accordance with this Section 1.04.

- 9 -

postponed on a day-for-day basis for each day of Unavoidable Delay,  the “Additional Space Outside Delivery Date”). If for any reason Landlord shall be unable to deliver possession of any portion of the Additional Space to Tenant on or before the Additional Space Outside Delivery Date, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant therefor and the validity of this Lease shall not be impaired, nor shall the Term be extended, by reason thereof; provided, that if the Additional Space Inclusion Date does not occur on or before the Additional Space Outside Delivery Date, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be that for the period commencing on the day after the Additional Space Outside Delivery Date to and including the day immediately preceding the Additional Space Inclusion Date, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against the Fixed Rent payable from and after the Additional Space Rent Commencement Date equal to (i) 1 day for each of the first 30 days in such period, (ii) 1.5 days for each of the next 30 days in such period and (iii) 2 days for each day thereafter.  This Section 1.03 shall be an express provision to the contrary for purposes of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law and any other law of like import now or hereafter in effect.
1.05    Offer Space Option.  (a)  As used herein:
(i)    “Available” means, as to any space, that such space is vacant and free of any present or future possessory right now or hereafter existing in favor of any third party;  provided, that (A) any space that is vacant on the Effective Date shall not be deemed Available unless and until such space is first leased to another tenant and then again becomes Available and (B) the 33rd floor of the Building shall not be deemed Available unless and until such space is first leased to a tenant other than the tenant leasing such space on the Effective Date and then again becomes Available.  Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, Tenant’s right of first offer pursuant to this Section 1.05  is subordinate to (x) fixed expansion rights granted after the Effective Date to any existing or future tenants of the Building, (y) any right of offer, right of first refusal, expansion right or similar right or option in favor of any third party existing as of the Effective Date, and (z) Landlord’s right to renew or extend the term of any lease to another tenant or other occupant, whether or not pursuant to an option or right set forth in such party’s lease or occupancy agreement, as applicable.
(ii)    “Offer Period” means the period commencing on the Commencement Date to and including the date that is 4 years prior to the Expiration Date; provided, that if Tenant then has available in accordance with the provisions of Article 9 an unexercised Renewal Option, then the Offer Period shall end on the date that is 15 months before the then scheduled expiration of the Term, but if less than 4 years and more than 15 months remain in the Term, then Tenant shall be permitted to exercise any Offer Space Option only if, simultaneously with the giving of the Acceptance Notice, Tenant exercises a Renewal Option in accordance with the provisions of Article 9.
(iii)    “Offer Space” means any Available space on the 24th, 25th, 26th, 28th, 32nd and 33rd floors of the Building.
(b)    Provided (i) this Lease shall not have been terminated, (ii) no Event of Default is continuing, (iii) the Initial Premises and the Additional Space shall then be included in the Premises and (iv) Tenant shall then occupy at least 70% of the Premises, if at any time 
- 10 -

during the Offer Period any Offer Space either becomes, or Landlord reasonably anticipates that within the next 12 months (but not later than the last day of the Offer Period) any Offer Space will become, Available, Landlord shall give to Tenant notice (an “Offer Notice”) thereof, specifying (A) if the Fixed Rent for such Offer Space will be Fair Offer Rent, Landlord’s determination of the Fair Offer Rent for such Offer Space (“Landlord’s Initial FOR Determination”), (B) the date or estimated date that such Offer Space has or shall become Available, (C) the rentable square footage of such Offer Space and (D) such other matters as Landlord may deem appropriate for such Offer Notice.  “Fair Offer Rent” means the fixed annual rent that a willing lessee would pay and a willing lessor would accept for the applicable Offer Space, each party acting prudently and under no compulsion to lease, and taking into account all relevant factors.  
(c)    Provided that on the date that Tenant exercises an Offer Space Option and on the applicable Offer Space Inclusion Date (i) this Lease shall not have been terminated, (ii) no Event of Default is continuing, (iii) the Initial Premises and the Additional Space shall then be included in the Premises and (iv) Tenant shall then occupy at least 70% of the Premises, Tenant shall have the option (the “Offer Space Option”), exercisable by notice (an “Acceptance Notice”) given to Landlord on or before the date that is 30 days after the giving of the applicable Offer Notice (time being of the essence) to include all of the applicable Offer Space in the Premises.  If such Offer Notice contains Landlord’s Initial FOR Determination, Tenant shall notify Landlord in the applicable Acceptance Notice whether Tenant accepts or disputes Landlord’s Initial FOR Determination, and if Tenant disputes Landlord’s Initial FOR Determination, such Acceptance Notice shall set forth Tenant’s determination thereof (“Tenant’s Initial FOR Determination”).  If Tenant fails timely to object to Landlord’s determination in such Acceptance Notice and to set forth Tenant’s Initial FOR Determination, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s Initial FOR Determination.
(d)    If Tenant timely delivers an Acceptance Notice, then, on the Offer Space Inclusion Date, such Offer Space shall become part of the Premises, upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except:
(i)    Fixed Rent in respect of such Offer Space shall be payable from and after the applicable Offer Space RCD (A) if the applicable Offer Space Inclusion Date occurs prior to the 2nd anniversary of the Commencement Date, at the same annul rate per rentable square foot as is payable from time to time in respect of the Initial Premises or (B) if the applicable Offer Space Inclusion Date occurs on or after the 2nd anniversary of the Commencement Date, at the Fair Offer Rent therefor; 
(ii)    from and after the applicable Offer Space Inclusion Date, Tenant’s Share shall be appropriately increased to account for the rentable square footage of the Offer Space; 
(iii)    the “Offer Space RCD” of such Offer Space shall be (A) if the applicable Offer Space Inclusion  Date occurs prior to the 2nd anniversary of the Commencement Date, the number of days after such Offer Space Inclusion Date equal to the product of (1) 365, multiplied by (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the Offer Space Inclusion Date and the Expiration Date and the denominator of which is the number of days between the First Rent Commencement Date 
- 11 -

and the Expiration Date or (B) if the applicable Offer Space Inclusion Date occurs on or after the 2nd anniversary of the Commencement Date, the Offer Space Inclusion Date; 
(iv)    Landlord shall not be required to perform any work, to pay the Work Allowance or any other amount, or to render any services to make the Building or such Offer Space ready for Tenant’s use or occupancy, and Tenant shall accept such Offer Space in its “as is” condition on the applicable Offer Space Inclusion Date; provided, that if the applicable Offer Space Inclusion Date occurs prior to the 2nd anniversary of the Commencement Date, then (A) Landlord shall perform Landlord’s Work in such Offer Space and (B) the Work Allowance shall be increased by the product of (1) the rentable square foot area of such Offer Space multiplied by (2) $112.50 multiplied by (3) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days between the applicable Offer Space Inclusion Date and the Expiration Date and the denominator or which is the number of days between the First Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date; 
(v)    as may be otherwise set forth in the applicable Offer Notice; and 
(vi)    Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit (the form and substance of such amendment to be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) to increase the amount of the Security Deposit by the product of (A) the monthly Fixed Rent payable with respect to such Offer Space for the first full calendar month after the Offer Space RCD therefor multiplied by (B) (x) 12, if prior to the First Reduction Date, (y) 8, if on or after the First Reduction Date and prior to the Second Reduction Date and (z) 5 thereafter.
(e)    If in an Acceptance Notice Tenant disputes Landlord’s Initial FOR Determination, and Landlord and Tenant fail to agree as to the amount thereof within 20 days after the giving of such Acceptance Notice, then the dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in the same manner as disputes regarding Fair Market Rent pursuant to Section 9.02(d); provided, that all references in Section 9.02(d) to “Fair Market Rent” shall be deemed to refer to “Fair Offer Rent,” all reference in Section 9.02(d) to Landlord’s Initial Determination” shall be deemed to refer to “Landlord’s Initial FOR Determination” and all reference in Section 9.02(d) to Tenant’s Initial Determination” shall be deemed to refer to “Tenant’s Initial FOR Determination”.  If the dispute shall not have been resolved on or before the applicable Offer Space Inclusion Date, then pending such resolution, Tenant shall pay as annual fixed rent for such Offer Space the Fair Offer Rent therefor as determined by Landlord.  Within 20 days after the final determination of such Fair Offer Rent, an adjustment, if any, required to correct the amounts previously paid on account thereof shall be made by the appropriate party.
(f)    “Offer Space Inclusion Date” means the date on which Landlord delivers to Tenant vacant possession of the applicable Offer Space; provided, that if such date would otherwise occur prior to  the 2nd anniversary of the Commencement Date, then Landlord’s Work applicable to such Offer Space shall be Substantially Complete and Landlord shall have given Tenant at least 5 days’ notice of the occurrence of the Offer Space Inclusion Date.  If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of any Offer Space to Tenant for any reason on or before the date on which Landlord anticipates that such Offer Space shall be Available as set forth in the 
- 12 -

applicable Offer Notice, or, if applicable, on the date that Landlord anticipated that Landlord’s Work therein will be Substantially Complete, the Offer Space Inclusion Date therefor shall be the date on which Landlord is able to so deliver possession and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant therefor and this Lease shall not in any way be impaired.  This Section 1.05(f) constitutes “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of Section 223(a) of the New York Real Property Law and any other law of like import now or hereafter in effect.
(g)    If Tenant fails timely to give an Acceptance Notice, then (i) Landlord may enter into one or more leases of the applicable Offer Space with third parties on such terms and conditions as Landlord shall determine, the Offer Space Option shall be null and void and of no further force and effect in respect of the applicable Offer Space and Landlord shall have no further obligation to offer such Offer Space to Tenant, unless and until such Offer Space is leased to a third party and such Offer Space again becomes Available and (ii) Tenant shall, upon demand by Landlord, execute an instrument confirming Tenant’s waiver of the Offer Space Option with respect to such Offer Space, but the failure by Tenant to execute any such instrument shall not affect the provisions of clause (i) above.
(h)    Promptly after the occurrence of an Offer Space Inclusion Date, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the occurrence thereof and the inclusion of the applicable Offer Space in the Premises by executing an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant; provided, that failure by Landlord or Tenant to execute such instrument shall not affect the inclusion of such Offer Space in the Premises in accordance with this Section 1.05.
(i)    Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 1.05 granting to Tenant the Offer Space Option shall be null and void and of no further force or effect if (i) a Justworks Tenant is no longer the Tenant under this Lease, (ii) a Justworks Tenant at any time fails to occupy at least 70% rentable square feet in the Premises, (iii) an Event of Default is continuing or (iv) the Premises does not include the Initial Premises and, following the Additional Space Inclusion Date, the Additional Space. “Justworks Tenant” means (A) Justworks, Inc., (B) any entity that succeeds to the interests of Justworks, Inc. in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.01(b) or (c) and (C) any Affiliate of an entity described in clause (A) or clause (B) above.
(j)    If Tenant exercises the Offer Space Option and the entire 33rd floor of the Building is added to the Premises, then Landlord shall, at Tenant’s cost, reprogram the passenger elevators in the elevator bank serving the Initial Premises so that at least 1 elevator stops on both the 33rd floor and the remainder of the Premises.
(k)    Following an Offer Space Inclusion Date, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Form ACP-5 with respect to the applicable Offer Space within 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s final plans and specifications for the Initial Tenant Work to be performed in such Offer Space.

(a)    Fixed Rent shall be payable by Tenant in advance on the First Rent Commencement Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter; provided, that Tenant shall pay, upon the execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant, $1,005,316.25 to be applied against the first full monthly installment of Fixed Rent following the First Rent Commencement Date; and provided, further, that if the First Rent Commencement Date or the Second Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, then Fixed Rent for the month in which the First Rent Commencement Date or Second Rent Commencement Date (as applicable) occurs shall be appropriately prorated.  
2.02    Tax Payments.  (a)  ”Base Tax Amount” means the Taxes for the Base Tax Year.
(b)    “Taxes” means (i) the real estate taxes, vault taxes, assessments and special assessments levied, assessed or imposed upon or with respect to the Project by any federal, state, municipal or other government or governmental body or authority, including, without limitation, dues, levies or charges paid to any business improvement district or similar organization or to any entity on behalf of such an organization and (ii) all taxes assessed or imposed with respect to the rentals payable under  this Lease other than general income and gross receipts taxes; provided, that any such tax shall exclude Commercial Rent or Occupancy Taxes imposed pursuant to Title 11, Chapter 7 of the New York City Administrative Code so long as such tax is required to be paid by tenants directly to the taxing authority.  If at any time the method of taxation shall be altered so that in lieu of or as an addition to or as a substitute for, the whole or any part of such real estate taxes, assessments and special assessments now imposed on real estate, there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (x) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition, fee or charge wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise on the rents received therefrom, or (y) any other such substitute tax, assessment, levy, imposition, fee or charge, including without limitation, business improvement district and transportation taxes, fees and assessments, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, fees or charges or the part thereof so measured or based shall be included in “Taxes”.  If Landlord or a Superior Lessor is exempt from the payment of taxes described in clauses (i) and (ii), but is required to make payments in lieu of Taxes, then there shall be included in Taxes the actual amount of such payments so required to be made in lieu of the Taxes described in clauses (i) and (ii). If a portion, but not all, of the Project is exempt from the payment of taxes described in clauses (i) and (ii) and no payments in lieu of Taxes are required to be paid by Landlord or any Superior Lessor in respect thereof, then there shall be included in “Taxes” the taxes described in clauses (i) and (ii) which would be so levied, assessed or imposed if such partial exemption did not exist and such taxes shall be deemed to have been paid by Landlord on the dates on which such taxes otherwise would have been payable in the absence of such exemption.  Except as permitted in this Section 2.02(b), “Taxes” shall not include any franchise, capital stock or transfer tax.
(c)    “Tax Year” means each period of 12 months, commencing on the first day of July of each such period, in which occurs any part of the Term, or such other period of 
- 14 -

12 months occurring during the Term as hereafter may be adopted as the fiscal year for real estate tax purposes of the City of New York.
(d)    If Taxes for any Tax Year after the Base Tax Year, shall exceed the Base Tax Amount, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (each, a “Tax Payment”) Tenant’s Share of the amount by which Taxes for such Tax Year are greater than the Base Tax Amount.  Landlord may furnish to Tenant, prior to the commencement of each Tax Year, a statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Tax Payment for such Tax Year.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month during such Tax Year, an amount equal to 1/12th of Landlord’s estimate of the Tax Payment for such Tax Year.  If Landlord shall not furnish any such estimate for a Tax Year or if Landlord shall furnish any such estimate for a Tax Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (i) 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 2.02(d) in respect of the last month of the preceding Tax Year; (ii) after such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the installments of the Tax Payment previously made for such Tax Year were greater or less than the installments of the Tax Payment to be made in accordance with such estimate, and (x) if there is a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, or (y) if there is an overpayment, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the amount thereof; and (iii) on the first day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant and monthly thereafter throughout such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of the Tax Payment shown on such estimate.  Landlord may, during each Tax Year, furnish to Tenant a revised statement of Landlord’s estimate of the Tax Payment for such Tax Year, and in such case, the Tax Payment for such Tax Year shall be adjusted and paid or refunded as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence.  After the end of each Tax Year Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of Tenant’s Tax Payment for such Tax Year (and shall endeavor to do so within 180 days after the end of each Tax Year).  If such statement shall show that the sums paid by Tenant, if any, under this Section 2.02(d) exceeded the Tax Payment to be paid by Tenant for the applicable Tax Year, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the amount of such excess; and if such statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than the Tax Payment to be paid by Tenant for such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within 10 days after demand therefor.  If there shall be any increase in the Taxes for any Tax Year, whether during or after such Tax Year, or if there shall be any decrease in the Taxes for any Tax Year, the Tax Payment for such Tax Year shall be appropriately adjusted and paid or refunded, as the case may be, in accordance herewith.  In no event, however, shall Taxes be reduced below the Base Tax Amount.
(e)    If Landlord shall receive a refund of Taxes for any Tax Year in which Taxes exceeded the Base Tax Amount, Landlord shall pay to Tenant Tenant’s Share of the net refund (after deducting from such refund the costs and expenses of obtaining the same, including, without limitation, appraisal, accounting and legal fees); provided, that such payment to Tenant shall in no event exceed Tenant’s Tax Payment paid for such Tax Year.  If, with respect to any Tax Year after the Base Tax Year, Landlord shall incur any costs or expenses in an effort to reduce the Taxes for such Tax Year, and after final determination of such Taxes, Landlord has not recovered such costs and expenses by way of a deduction from a refund as set forth in the first 
- 15 -

sentence of this paragraph, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within 30 days after invoice, Tenant’s proportionate share of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses so incurred.
(f)    If the Taxes comprising the Base Tax Amount are reduced as a result of an appropriate proceeding or otherwise, the Taxes as so reduced shall for all purposes be deemed to be the Base Tax Amount and Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount by which the Tax Payments previously made were less than the Tax Payments required to be made under this Section 2.02, and Tenant shall pay the deficiency within 10 days after demand therefor.
(g)    Tenant hereby requests that an application for abatement of real property taxes pursuant to Title 4 of the Real Property Tax Law (the “RPTL”) be filed by Landlord and Tenant (any abatement granted pursuant to said Title 4 being hereinafter referred to as the “Tax Abatement”) for the Premises.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant shall be solely responsible for (x) the expenditure of all amounts and the performance of all work to the Premises necessary to obtain the Tax Abatement and (y) the preparation and filing of the application, the annual reports and other documentation required pursuant to Title 4 of the RPTL (including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 499-d and 499-f of the RPTL).  All fees, charges and other expenses incurred in connection with the application and continuing eligibility for the Tax Abatement shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant.
(i)    Pursuant to Section 499-c.5. of the RPTL, Tenant is hereby informed that:
(A)    the percentage of the Building’s aggregate floor area allocated to the Premises, and “tenant’s percentage share” for the purposes of Title 4 of the RPTL, is, as of the date hereof, 5.79%;
(B)    an application for abatement of real property taxes pursuant to Title 4 of the RPTL will be made for the Premises;

(D)    at least $35 per square foot must be spent on improvements to the Premises and the common areas of the Building; and
(E)    all abatements granted with respect to a building pursuant to Title 4 of the RPTL will be revoked if, during the benefit period, real estate taxes or water or sewer charges or other lienable charges are unpaid for more than one year, unless such delinquent amounts are paid as provided in subdivision 4 of Section 499-f of the RPTL. 
(ii)    If the Tax Abatement shall be granted to Tenant, and for so long as such Tax Abatement shall remain in effect (the “Benefit Period”), Tenant shall be entitled to receive a credit against Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Lease, in an amount equal to the Tax Abatement applicable to the Premises.  During each 
- 16 -

Tax Year occurring during the Benefit Period, Landlord shall credit against the installments of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Lease during such period, the portion of the tax abatement applicable to such period.  If the Tax Abatement shall be granted and is thereafter terminated or reduced or recalculated as a result of a change in the billable assessed value of the Building or for any other reason, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to Landlord within 10 days after demand the entirety of the resulting increase in Taxes payable by Landlord (including any retroactive increase), and all interest and penalties relating thereto.  Tenant shall notify Landlord within 10 days following the occurrence of any event that may cause the Tax Abatement to be terminated, reduced or recalculated.
(iii)    Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 6.12(b), Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all liability, damages, claims, costs or expenses relating to the payment of Taxes (including penalties and interest thereon) or other payments required to be paid in connection with or relating to the Tax Abatement arising from the acts, failure to perform any acts required under Title 4 of the RPTL or misrepresentations of Tenant, together with all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.  The provisions of this Section 2.04(g)(iii) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(iv)    Upon the request of Tenant, Landlord shall complete, execute and submit with Tenant all applications (including any revised applications therefor), certificates of continuing eligibility and such other documents, certificates and instruments that the New York City Department of Finance may require in order to issue a certificate of abatement granting the Tax Abatement or in order to maintain the Tax Abatement in effect, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in reviewing such applications, certificates of continuing eligibility and such other documents, certificates and instruments.
(v)    Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord has made no representations or warranties to Tenant with respect to Title 4 of the RPTL or of any potential Tax Abatement.  Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Share of Taxes shall not in any way be affected, reduced or impaired by reason of Tenant’s failure to qualify for, or obtain, any potential Tax Abatement.
(vi)    Landlord shall not perform any acts or fail to perform any acts required under Title 4 of the RPTL (provided Tenant shall fully pay to Landlord the payments of the Tax Payment when due), which shall be the sole cause of the Tax Abatement granted to Tenant being revoked or terminated.

(A)    depreciation and amortization (except with respect to the alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or improvements described in clauses I, II, III and IV of clause (x) of this Section 2.03(c));
(B)    principal and interest payments and other costs incurred in connection with any financing or refinancing of the Project or any portion thereof (except as provided in clause (x) above);

(D)    brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred in procuring tenants for the Building;
(E)    cost of any work or service performed for any tenant of the Building (including Tenant), whether at the expense of Landlord or such tenant, to the extent that such work or service is in excess of the work or service that Landlord is required to furnish Tenant under this Lease at the expense of Landlord;
(F)    the cost of any electricity consumed in the Premises or in any other space in the Building demised to tenants;
(G)    Taxes;
(H)    legal fees incurred in preparing leases for tenants or in enforcing the terms of any lease;
(I)    any cost to the extent Landlord is reimbursed therefor out of insurance proceeds or otherwise (other than by means of operating expense reimbursement provisions contained in the leases of other Tenants); and 
(J)    any fee or expenditure that is paid to any Affiliate of Landlord for services in the Project to the extent that such fee or expenditure 
- 19 -

exceeds the amount that would be reasonably expected to be paid to an unaffiliated third party on a competitive basis.
(d)    “Operating Year” means each calendar year in which occurs any part of the Term.
(e)    For each Operating Year following the Base Operating Year, Tenant shall pay (each, an “Operating Payment”) Tenant’s Share of the amount, if any, by which Operating Expenses for such Operating Year exceed the Base Operating Amount.
(f)    If during any relevant period (including the Base Operating Year) (i) any rentable space in the Building shall be unoccupied, and/or (ii) the tenant or occupant of any space in the Building undertook to perform work or services therein in lieu of having Landlord perform the same and the cost thereof would have been included in Operating Expenses, then, in any such event, the Operating Expenses for such period shall be increased to reflect the Operating Expenses that would have been incurred if such space had been occupied or if Landlord had performed such work or services, as the case may be.
(g)    Landlord may furnish to Tenant, prior to the commencement of each Operating Year, a statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Operating Payment for such Operating Year.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month during such Operating Year, an amount equal to 1/12th of Landlord’s estimate of the Operating Payment for such Operating Year.  If Landlord shall not furnish any such estimate for an Operating Year or if Landlord shall furnish any such estimate for an Operating 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 2.03 in respect of the last month of the preceding Operating Year; (B) after such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the installments of the Operating Payment previously made for such Operating Year were greater or less than the installments of the Operating Payment to be made in accordance with such estimate, and (x) if there is a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, or (y) if there is an overpayment, Landlord shall promptly refund 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 such Operating Year Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of the Operating Payment shown on such estimate.  Landlord may, during each Operating Year, furnish to Tenant a revised statement of Landlord’s estimate of the Operating Payment for such Operating Year, and in such case, the Operating Payment for such Operating Year shall be adjusted and paid or refunded as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence.
(h)    Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Landlord’s Statement for each Operating Year (and shall endeavor to do so within 180 days after the end of each Operating Year).  If Landlord’s Statement shall show that the sums paid by Tenant, if any, under Section 2.03(g) exceeded the Operating Payment to be paid by Tenant for the applicable Operating Year, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the amount of such excess; and if the Landlord’s Statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than the Operating Payment to be paid by Tenant 
- 20 -

for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within 10 days after demand therefor.
(i)    (A)    Tenant, upon notice given within 120 days after Tenant’s receipt of a Landlord’s Statement, may elect to have Tenant’s designated (in such notice) reputable nationally recognized audit firm or certified public accountant (which certified public accountant may be an employee of Tenant) examine such of Landlord’s books and records (collectively, “Records”) as are directly relevant to such Landlord’s Statement, and Landlord shall provide access to the Records upon reasonable prior notice; provided, that no such audit firm or certified public accountant may be retained by Tenant on a contingency fee basis or any other fee basis by which such audit firm’s or accountant’s (as applicable) compensation is based upon the amount refunded or credited by Landlord to Tenant as a result of such audit.  As a condition to Tenant’s right to review the Records, Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the Landlord’s Statement in question.  If Tenant shall not give such notice within such 120 day period, then such Landlord’s Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant.  Tenant and Tenant’s employees, accountants and agents shall treat all Records as confidential, and, upon request by Landlord, shall confirm such confidentiality obligation in writing.
(B)    Tenant, within 120 days after the date on which the Records are made available to Tenant, may send a notice (“Tenant’s Statement”) to Landlord that Tenant disagrees with the applicable Landlord’s Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for Tenant’s disagreement and the amount of the Operating Payment Tenant claims is due.  If Tenant fails timely to deliver a Tenant’s Statement, then such Landlord’s Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant.  Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to adjust such disagreement.  If they are unable to do so, Tenant shall notify Landlord, within 120 days after the date on which Tenant gives the Tenant’s Statement to Landlord, that such disagreement shall be determined by an Arbiter in accordance with this Section 2.03(i), and promptly thereafter Landlord and Tenant shall jointly designate a certified public accountant (the “Arbiter”) whose determination made in accordance with this Section 2.03(i)(B) shall be binding upon the parties.  If the determination of the Arbiter shall substantially confirm the determination of Landlord, then Tenant shall pay the cost of the Arbiter.  If the Arbiter shall substantially confirm the determination of Tenant, then Landlord shall pay the cost of the Arbiter.  In all other events, the cost of the Arbiter shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant.  The Arbiter shall be a member of an independent certified public accounting firm having at least 3 accounting professionals.  If Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree upon the designation of the Arbiter within 15 days after receipt of notice from the other party requesting agreement as to the designation of the Arbiter, which notice shall contain the names and addresses of two or more certified public accountants meeting the requirements of this Section 2.03(i)(B) and who are acceptable to the party sending such notice, then either party shall have the right to request the American Arbitration Association (or any organization which is the successor thereto) (the “AAA”) to designate as the Arbiter a certified public accountant meeting the requirements of this Section 2.03(i)(B) whose determination made in accordance with this Section 2.03(i)(B) shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and the cost of such certified public accountant shall be borne as provided above in the case of the Arbiter designated by Landlord and Tenant.  Any determination made by an Arbiter shall not exceed the amount determined to be due in the first instance by Landlord’s Statement, nor shall such determination be less than the amount claimed to be due by Tenant in Tenant’s Statement, and any determination that does not comply 
- 21 -

with the foregoing shall be null and void and not binding on the parties.  In rendering such determination such Arbiter shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Lease, including the immediately preceding sentence.  Pending the resolution of any contest pursuant to this Section 2.03(i)(B), and as a condition to Tenant’s right to prosecute such contest, Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the Landlord’s Statement in question.  If Tenant shall prevail in such contest, an appropriate refund shall promptly be made by Landlord to Tenant.  The term “substantially” as used in this Section 2.03(i)(B), shall mean a variance of 5% or more of the Operating Payment in question.
2.04    Tax and Operating Provisions.  (a)  In any case provided in Section 2.02 or 2.03 in which Tenant is entitled to a refund, Landlord may, in lieu of making such refund, credit against future installments of Rent any amounts to which Tenant shall be entitled.  Nothing in this Article 2 shall be construed so as to result in a decrease in the Fixed Rent.  If this Lease shall expire before any such credit shall have been fully applied, then (provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease) Landlord shall refund to Tenant the unapplied balance of such credit.
(b)    Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering a Landlord’s Statement with respect to any Operating Year or any component of the Operating Payment shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a Landlord’s Statement with respect to any such Operating Year or any such component, provided, that such Landlord’s Statement is delivered within 2 years after the end of the Operating Year in question, nor shall the rendering of a Landlord’s Statement for any Operating Year prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected Landlord’s Statement for such Operating Year within such 2-year period.  Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering any statement with respect to any Tax Payment or installment thereof shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render such a statement, provided, that such statement is delivered within 2 years following the later of (i) the end of the Tax Year in question or (ii) the final determination of the Taxes for the Tax Year in question, nor shall the rendering of a statement for any Tax Payment or installment thereof prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected statement therefor within such 2-year period. 
(c)    Landlord and Tenant confirm that the computations under this Article 2 are intended to constitute a formula for agreed rental escalation and may or may not constitute an actual reimbursement to Landlord for Taxes and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the Project.  If the Building shall be condominiumized, or if ownership of the north and south towers of the Building shall be separated, or if Landlord shall elect to treat the south tower of the Building and the north tower of the Building separately for purposes of calculating Taxes and Operating Expenses, then Tenant’s Operating Payments and Tax Payments shall, if necessary, be equitably adjusted such that Tenant shall thereafter continue to pay the same share of the Taxes and Operating Expenses of the Building as Tenant would pay in the absence of such condominiumization, separate ownership or separate treatment.
(d)    Each Tax Payment in respect of a Tax Year, and each Operating Payment in respect of an Operating Year, that begins prior to the First Rent Commencement Date or ends after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and any tax refund pursuant to Section 2.02(e), shall be prorated to correspond to that portion of such Tax Year or Operating Year 
- 22 -

occurring after the First Rent Commencement Date or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, as applicable. 
2.05    Electric Charges.  (a)  Tenant’s demand for, and consumption of, electricity serving the Premises shall be determined by submeters installed (or, if existing, retrofitted) by Landlord at Landlord’s expense.  Tenant shall pay for such electric consumption from and after the Commencement Date within 15 days after rendition of bills therefor, which bills shall be rendered by or on behalf of Landlord separately for each meter.
(b)    The amount payable by Tenant per “KW” and “KWH” for electricity consumed within the Premises shall be 103% of the amount (as adjusted from time to time, “Landlord’s Rate”) at which Landlord from time to time purchases each KW and KWH of electricity for the same period from the utility company and/or alternate providers (the “Utility Company”) (including, without limitation, all surcharges, taxes, fuel adjustments, market supply and market adjustment charges, taxes passed on to consumers by the public utility, and other sums payable in respect thereof), plus all other surcharges, taxes and other sums payable by Landlord in respect of Landlord’s sale of electricity to Tenant.  Landlord’s Rate shall be determined by applying KW and KWH (on-peak and off-peak, if applicable) as derived from Tenant’s submeter(s) to the same rate schedule(s) (both the utility and alternate provider, if applicable) applicable to Landlord’s electricity purchase during each respective service period.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be obligated to apply Tenant’s interval data to Landlord’s Rate in order to determine the amount payable by Tenant hereunder.
(c)    Following the Commencement Date, to the extent submeters are not already installed on any floor of the Premises, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to promptly install, at Landlord’s cost and expense, submeters on such floor of the Premises to measure Tenant’s electricity consumption. If the Commencement Date shall occur prior to the installation of such submeters in the Premises, then Tenant shall pay $1.50 ($0.75 during the period of Tenant’s construction of the Initial Tenant Work to the Premises) per rentable square foot of space in the Premises per annum (the “Interim Electric Charge”), on account of Tenant’s use of electricity in the Premises for the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the date that the submeters measuring Tenant’s consumption of electricity in the Premises are installed and are operational.  The Interim Electric Charge shall be paid by Tenant monthly within 10 days after submission of a bill therefor.
(d)    At Landlord’s option, Landlord shall furnish and install all replacement lighting, tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts required in the Premises, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its designated contractor upon demand Landlord’s then established reasonable charges therefor.
2.06    Manner of Payment.  Tenant shall pay all Rent as the same shall become due and payable under this Lease (a) in the case of Fixed Rent and recurring Additional Rent, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds as directed by Landlord, and (b) in the case of all other sums, either by wire transfer as aforesaid or by check (subject to collection) drawn on a bank that clears through The Clearing House Payments Company L.L.C., in each case at the times provided herein without notice or demand and without setoff or counterclaim.  All Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its office or such other place as 
- 23 -

Landlord may from time to time designate.  If Tenant fails timely to pay any Rent, Tenant shall pay interest thereon from the date when such Rent became due to the date of Landlord’s receipt thereof at the lesser of (i) 11⁄2% per month and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law.  Any Additional Rent for which no due date is specified in this Lease shall be due and payable on the 10th day after the date of invoice.  All bills, invoices and statements rendered to Tenant with respect to this Lease shall be binding and conclusive on Tenant unless, within 180 days after receipt of same, Tenant notifies Landlord that it is disputing same.
2.07    Security Deposit.  (a)  Tenant has delivered to Landlord, as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of the Security Deposit in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G and issued by a bank (the “Issuing Bank”) satisfactory to Landlord (the “Letter of Credit”).  The Letter of Credit shall provide that it is assignable by Landlord without charge and shall either (i) expire on the date that is 60 days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease (the “LC Date”) or (ii) be automatically self-renewing until the LC Date.  If any Letter of Credit is not renewed at least 60 days prior to the expiration thereof or if Tenant holds over in the Premises without the consent of Landlord after the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit (or the proceeds thereof) to remedy any Event of Default.  If Landlord shall have so drawn upon the Letter of Credit (or the proceeds thereof), Tenant shall upon demand deposit with Landlord a sum equal to the amount so drawn by Landlord.
(b)    Provided no Event of Default has occurred which remains uncured and Tenant has surrendered the Premises to Landlord in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, on or before the LC Date:  (i) Landlord shall return to Tenant the Letter of Credit (or the proceeds thereof) then held by Landlord or (ii) if Landlord shall have drawn upon such Letter of Credit (or the proceeds thereof) to remedy any Event of Default, Landlord shall return to Tenant that portion, if any, of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit remaining in Landlord’s possession.
(c)    Provided that on the First Reduction Date (i) no Event of Default has occurred which remains uncured and (ii) Landlord has not theretofore drawn on the Letter of Credit by reason of any Event of Default, Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit to 8 months of the Fixed Rent then payable for the Premises (the “First Reduced LC Amount”) on the 3rd anniversary of the First Rent Commencement Date (the “First Reduction Date”).  Provided that on the Second Reduction Date (a) no Event of Default has occurred which remains uncured and (b) Landlord has not theretofore drawn on the Letter of Credit by reason of any Event of Default, Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit to 5 months of the Fixed Rent then payable for the Premises (the “Second Reduced LC Amount”) on the 5th anniversary of the First Rent Commencement Date (the “Second Reduction Date”).    In no event shall Tenant reduce the Letter of Credit to less than the Second Reduced LC Amount.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit (the form and substance of such amendment to be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), reducing the amount of the Letter of Credit to the First Reduced LC Amount or Second Reduced LC Amount, as applicable, and Landlord shall execute the amendment and such other documents as are reasonably necessary to reduce the 
- 24 -

amount of the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof.  To the extent Landlord’s cooperation is necessary, Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant to cause the Issuing Bank to issue an amendment to the Letter of Credit then in place to reduce the amount thereof to the First Reduced LC Amount or Second Reduced LC Amount (as applicable).

Tenant shall not be released or excused from the performance of any of its obligations under the Lease for any such interruption, impairment or termination, but Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts to restore same promptly.
(f)    No Indemnified Party shall be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant hereby releases same from, any loss, damage, injury, claim or liability arising from the maintenance, repair, cleaning, operation, replacement or stoppage of operation of or defect in the Emergency Power System for any reason whatsoever, unless the same results from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.  Further, no Indemnified Party shall be liable (i) for any loss, claim, injury or damage caused by other tenants or persons in, upon or about the Building, or (ii) for any consequential damages (even if grossly negligent or for willful misconduct) arising out of the operation of the Emergency Power System or the failure of the Emergency Power System to operate or to perform as desired for any reason. 
(g)    Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant (and Tenant expressly releases Landlord from any obligation or liability) because Landlord is unable to fulfill or is delayed in fulfilling, any of its obligations under this Section 3.03 by reason of Unavoidable Delays.  Landlord shall have no obligation to operate, service or maintain any equipment that is downstream from the buss duct.
(h)    The provisions of this Section 3.03 are made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Tenant may use the internal freight elevator lobby DD fire staircase of the Building, which is circled on the floor plans of each floor of the Premises attached hereto as Exhibits B-1 through B-5, connecting contiguous full floors of the Premises as convenience stairs; provided, that Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, and subject in any event to the provisions of Article 4, complies with all Laws and insurance requirements affecting the Project in connection with such use.  In using said stairs and in preparing the same for use by Tenant, Tenant shall be responsible for all incremental costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith (including any increase in Landlord’s insurance costs resulting from Tenant’s use thereof).  If Tenant so utilizes the fire stairs, Tenant shall maintain, at Tenant’s expense, such portions of the fire stairs on the floors on which the Premises are located in at least the same condition existing on the Commencement Date (reasonable wear and tear excepted), including, without limitation, the periodic painting and cleaning thereof as reasonably required by Landlord.

In connection with any use of such fire stairs and subject to the terms of Article 4 hereof, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall (i) install and regularly maintain a security and access control system in the stairway to prevent unauthorized access from the fire stairs into the Premises and to identify potential emergencies therein that is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (including, without limitation, the installation of additional fire safety equipment and video and other surveillance equipment), (ii) provide Landlord with at least 3 card keys to any such security system and update such card keys, at no cost to Landlord, from time to time, if such update is necessary in order to permit such card keys to be operable and (iii) tie such system into the Building’s security and fire safety systems, Building management system and such other Building systems as Landlord may reasonably require.  In no event shall Tenant be permitted to store any equipment, furniture, storage boxes or any other personal property whatsoever in any fire stairs of the Building.  Tenant acknowledges that any alterations required to tie such security system into the fire safety system of the Building shall be performed by Landlord’s fire safety contractor, at Tenant’s expense; provided, that the rates charged by such fire safety contractor are competitive and commercially reasonable.  Landlord makes no representation or warranty as to whether Tenant’s use of the stairwell area as contemplated hereunder is permitted under applicable Laws and/or insurance requirements.  If at any time Tenant is not permitted to use the stairwell area pursuant to Laws or insurance requirements, then Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant therefor.

ARTICLE 4
Leasehold Improvements; Tenant Covenants
4.01    Delivery of Premises.  On the Commencement Date, Tenant shall accept the Initial Premises in its “as is” condition on such date.  All initial improvements to the Premises shall constitute Alterations and shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in accordance with Section 4.02.
4.02    Alterations.  (a)  Tenant shall make no improvements, changes or alterations in or to the Premises (“Alterations”) without Landlord’s prior approval.  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval to any Alteration that is not a Material Alteration.  “Material Alteration” means an Alteration that (i) is not limited to the interior of the Premises or that affects the exterior (including the appearance) of the Building or any portion thereof, (ii) is structural or affects the strength of the Building or any portion thereof, (iii) affects the usage or the proper functioning of any of the Building systems, (iv) has a cost greater than $500,000.00 on any single floor, (v) requires the consent of any Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor or (vi) requires a change to the Building’s certificate of occupancy. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a Form ACP-5 with respect to the applicable portion of the Premises within 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s final plans and specifications for the Initial Tenant Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s approval shall not be required for Alterations which (i) are not Material Alterations, (ii) are purely decorative in nature (such as wallpapering, painting and carpeting), (iii) do not require a building permit from the New York City Department of Buildings and (iv) do not cost in excess of $500,000.00 on any single floor (when taken together with all other Decorative Alterations performed on such floor in the same calendar year) (collectively, “Decorative Alterations”). 
(b)    Tenant, in connection with any Alteration, shall comply with any rules and regulations as may be from time to time established by Landlord.  Tenant shall not proceed with any Alteration unless and until Landlord approves Tenant’s plans and specifications therefor.  In such instances in which Landlord’s approval shall be required with respect to the performance of any Alteration, Landlord shall, within 21 days following receipt of Tenant’s plans for the performance of such Alteration, advise Tenant of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of such plans or any part thereof.  If Landlord shall fail to approve or disapprove Tenant’s plans or any part thereof within such 21 day period, Tenant may give to Landlord a notice of such failure stating that if Landlord fails within 5 Business Days after the giving of such notice to approve or disapprove such Tenant’s plans, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such Tenant’s plans, and which notice must be headed by the legend, in bold, capital letters stating that “LANDLORD MUST RESPOND WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE”, and, if Landlord shall fail to approve or disapprove such Tenant’s plans within such 5 Business Day period, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such plans.  If Landlord shall disapprove such plans (or any part thereof), Landlord shall set forth its reasons for such disapproval in writing 
- 32 -

and in reasonable detail and identify those portions of the plans so disapproved.  Any review or approval by Landlord of plans and specifications with respect to any Alteration is solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the adequacy, correctness or efficiency thereof, its compliance with Laws or otherwise.  If Tenant resubmits plans following a denial of Landlord’s consent, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to approve or disapprove any plans resubmitted by Tenant thereafter within 7 Business Days following receipt of such plans; provided, that such resubmitted plans address each of the reasons why Landlord previously denied its consent. 
(c)    Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord or any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee for such purpose) for reviewing plans and specifications and inspecting Alterations.  
(d)    Except for Alterations that are being funded by the Work Allowance or Restroom Allowance, before proceeding with any Alteration that will cost more than $500,000.00 on any single floor (exclusive of the costs of decorating work and items constituting Tenant’s Property), as estimated by a reputable contractor, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord one of the following (as selected by Landlord):  (i) a cash deposit, (ii) a performance bond and a labor and materials payment bond (issued by a corporate surety licensed to do business in New York reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) or (iii) an irrevocable, unconditional, negotiable letter of credit, issued by a bank and in a form satisfactory to Landlord; each to be equal to 125% of the cost of the Alteration, estimated as set forth above.  Any such letter of credit shall be for one year and shall be renewed by Tenant each and every year until the Alteration in question is completed and shall be delivered to Landlord not less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the then current letter of credit, failing which Landlord may present the then current letter of credit for payment.  Upon (A) the completion of the Alteration in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.02 and (B) the submission to Landlord of (x) proof evidencing the payment in full for said Alteration, (y) written unconditional lien waivers of mechanics’ liens and other liens on the Project from all contractors performing said Alteration and (z) all other submissions as may be, from time to time required by Landlord, the security deposited with Landlord (or the balance of the proceeds thereof, if Landlord has drawn on the same) shall be returned to Tenant.  Upon Tenant’s failure properly to perform, complete and fully pay for any Alteration, as determined by Landlord, Landlord may, upon notice to Tenant, draw on the security deposited under this Section 4.02(d) to the extent Landlord deems necessary in connection with said Alteration, the restoration and/or protection of the Premises or the Project and the payment of any costs, damages or expenses resulting therefrom.
(e)    Tenant shall obtain (and furnish copies to Landlord of) all necessary governmental permits and certificates for the commencement and prosecution of Alterations and for final approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause Alterations to be performed in compliance therewith, and in compliance with all Laws and with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord.  Alterations shall be diligently performed in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials and equipment at least equal in quality and class to the then standards for the Building established by Landlord.  Alterations shall be performed by architects, engineers and contractors first approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, that any Alterations in or to the systems of the Building shall be performed 
- 33 -

only by the contractor(s) designated by Landlord (Landlord shall, from time to time upon Tenant’s request made prior to Tenant’s commencement of each such Alteration, designate at least 3 contractors for each Building system except for the Class E system for which Landlord shall only designate one contractor and Landlord may designate only one approved filing agent/expediter to be used in connection with all Alterations).  The performance of any Alteration or any other work in the Project shall not be carried out in a manner that would violate Landlord’s union contracts affecting the Project, or create any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption, disharmony or dispute or any interference with the business of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the Building.  Tenant shall immediately stop the performance by any person of any work or service or any labor practice engaged in by Tenant if Landlord notifies Tenant that continuing same would violate Landlord’s union contracts affecting the Project, or create any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption, disharmony or dispute or any interference with the business of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the Building, and Tenant shall not resume the performance of such work or service until such time as the same may be performed in a manner that shall not violate such union contracts or create such work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption, disharmony or dispute or interference.  Landlord hereby consents to and approves (1) Eurotech as Tenant’s carpenter for the Initial Tenant Work, (2) Campbell and Dawes as Tenant’s electrician for the Initial Tenant Work, (3) Uni Space Design Building as Tenant’s general contractor for the Initial Tenant Work, and (4) Henick Lane as Tenant’s HVAC contractor for the Initial Tenant Work. 
(f)    Throughout  the performance of Alterations, Tenant shall carry, or cause its contractor, architect, or engineer to carry, workers’ compensation insurance in statutory limits together with employer’s liability insurance, “all risk” Builders Risk coverage, commercial general liability insurance, with coverage for ongoing and products-completed operations by endorsement, for any occurrence in or about the Project, automobile liability, and umbrella/excess liability insurance in like form and limits in accordance with the terms and conditions required of Tenant under Section 7.02 hereof, and such other insurance coverage and limits as Landlord may otherwise require, which may include, without limitation, reasonable amounts of professional liability insurance with respect to architects and engineers, as well as contractor’s pollution liability with respect to contractors.  Tenant shall also require any such contractor, architect, or engineer to satisfy the same additional coverage terms as required of Tenant under Section 7.02 with respect to naming Landlord and its managing agent, if any, and any Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee whose name and address have been furnished to Tenant each as an additional insured by way of endorsement ISO CG 20 37 together with CG 20 10 or their equivalent, which shall be primary and any other insurance that may be available to Landlord and any such additional insured will be excess and non-contributory, waiving all rights of recovery and subrogation, with insurers reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  Tenant shall furnish Landlord with evidence that such insurance is in effect at or before the commencement of Alterations and, on request, at reasonable intervals thereafter during the continuance of Alterations.
(g)    Should any mechanics’ or other liens be filed against any portion of the Project by reason of the acts or omissions of, or because of a claim against, Tenant or anyone claiming under or through Tenant, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled or discharged of record by bond or otherwise within 30 days after notice from Landlord.  If Tenant shall fail to cancel or discharge said lien or liens within said 30 day period, Landlord may cancel or discharge the same and, upon Landlord’s demand, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred in 
- 34 -

canceling or discharging such liens, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date incurred by Landlord to the date of payment by Tenant, such reimbursement to be made within 30 days after receipt by Tenant of a written statement from Landlord as to the amount of such costs.  Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all costs (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs of suit), losses, liabilities or causes of action arising out of or relating to any Alteration, including, without limitation, any mechanics’ or other liens asserted in connection with such Alteration.
(h)    Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within 30 days after the completion of an Alteration, “as-built” drawings thereof using the AutoCAD Computer Assisted Drafting and Design System, Version 12 or later or such other system or medium as Landlord may accept.  During the Term, Tenant shall keep records of Alterations costing in excess of $25,000.00 including plans and specifications, copies of contracts, invoices, evidence of payment and all other records customarily maintained in the real estate business relating to Alterations and the cost thereof and shall, within 30 days after demand by Landlord, furnish to Landlord copies of such records.
(i)    All Alterations to and Fixtures installed by Tenant in the Premises shall be fully paid for by Tenant in cash and shall not be subject to conditional bills of sale, chattel mortgages, or other title retention agreements.
(j)    Subject to Landlord’s approval of the plans therefor in accordance with this Section 4.02 and compliance by Tenant with all other applicable provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall be permitted (i) to install new K-13 spray acoustical treatment on the slab within the Premises, (ii) to paint the existing fireproofing in the Premises, (iii) to perform a reasonable amount of core drilling in the Premises and (iv) to install one internal staircase between each of the contiguous floors of the Premises.
(k)    If any noted violation of Laws, the compliance with which is the responsibility of Landlord in accordance with this Lease (“Landlord’s Violations”), shall delay (or prevent) Tenant from obtaining any governmental permits, consents, approvals or other documentation required by Tenant for (i) the performance of any Alteration or (ii) the lawful occupancy of any portion of the Premises upon completion of any Alteration therein, then, upon the giving of notice by Tenant to Landlord of such prevention or delay and of the applicable Landlord’s Violations Landlord shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion the cure and removal of record of such Landlord’s Violations.
(i)    Tenant’s approved architect shall be permitted to self-certify the plans and specifications in respect of Alterations (including Initial Tenant Work), provided that (a) Tenant’s plans and specifications for such Alterations have been approved or deemed approved by Landlord in accordance with this Section 4.02 and (b) Tenant shall use Landlord’s designated expediter as Tenant’s expediter with respect to any Alt-1 Application required to be filed in connection with any such Alterations.  
4.03    Landlord’s and Tenant’s Property.  (a)  All fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances attached to or built into the Premises, whether or not at the expense of Tenant (collectively, “Fixtures”), shall be and remain a part of the Premises and shall 
- 35 -

not be removed by Tenant.  All Fixtures shall be the property of Tenant during the Term and, upon expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, shall become the property of Landlord.
(b)    All movable partitions, business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, and all furniture, furnishings and other articles of movable personal property owned by Tenant and located in the Premises (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”) shall be and shall remain the property of Tenant and may be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term; provided, that if any Tenant’s Property is removed, Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises or to the Building resulting from the installation and/or removal thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any equipment or other property identified in this Lease as having been paid for with any allowance or credit granted by Landlord to Tenant shall not be considered Tenant’s Property and shall be and remain a part of the Premises, shall, upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, be the property of Landlord and shall not be removed by Tenant.

Any items of Tenant’s Property that remain in the Premises after the Expiration Date, or more than 15 days after an earlier termination of this Lease, may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned, and may be retained by Landlord as Landlord’s property or disposed of by Landlord, without accountability, in such manner as Landlord shall determine, at Tenant’s expense.
(d)    Landlord, by notice given to Tenant at any time prior to the Expiration Date or not later than 30 days after any earlier termination of this Lease, may require Tenant, notwithstanding Section 4.03(a), to remove all or any Fixtures that do not constitute a standard office installation, such as, by way of example only, kitchens, vaults, safes, raised flooring and stairwells (collectively, “Specialty Alterations”); provided, that Tenant shall have the right, at any time between the date that is 90 days prior to the Expiration Date and the date that is 60 days prior to the Expiration Date, to deliver notice to Landlord requesting that Landlord identify which Specialty Alterations Landlord will require Tenant to remove prior to the Expiration Date and, within 30 days of receipt of such notice, Landlord shall send notice to Tenant setting forth each of the Specialty Alterations which Tenant will be obligated to remove prior to the Expiration Date.

- 36 -

affect the use or occupancy of the Premises or any of the systems or equipment serving the Premises.  In exercising its rights under this Section 4.04, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business.

Nothing contained in this Section 4.06 shall require Tenant to make any changes to the structural components of the Building unless the same are necessitated by reason of Tenant’s performance of any Alterations, Tenant’s manner of use of the Premises or the use by Tenant of the Premises for purposes other than normal and customary ordinary office purposes.

If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee (each, a “Curing Party”) may perform the same at the expense of Tenant (a) immediately and without notice in the case of emergency or in case such failure interferes with the use of space by any

The dissolution or direct or indirect transfer of control of Tenant (however accomplished including, by way of example, the addition of new partners or members or withdrawal of existing partners or members, or transfers of interests in distributions of profits or losses of Tenant, issuance of additional stock, redemption of stock, stock voting agreement, or change in classes of stock) shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease regardless of whether the transfer is made by one or more transactions, or whether one or more persons or entities hold the controlling interest prior to the transfer or afterwards.  An agreement under which another person or entity becomes responsible for all or a portion of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease.  No assignment or other transfer of this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted, and no subletting of all or any portion of the Premises shall relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease or of the obligation to obtain Landlord’s prior consent to any further assignment, other transfer or subletting.  Any attempt to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises in violation of this Article 5 shall be null and void.
(b)    Notwithstanding Section 5.01(a), without the consent of Landlord, this Lease may be assigned to (i) an entity created by merger, reorganization or recapitalization of or with Tenant or (ii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets; provided, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii), that (A) Landlord shall have received a notice of such assignment from Tenant, (B) the assignee assumes by written instrument satisfactory to Landlord all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, (C) such assignment is for a valid business purpose and not 
- 39 -

to avoid any obligations under this Lease, and (D) the assignee is a reputable entity of good character and the assignee (or a guarantor of the assignee pursuant to a guaranty in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) shall have, immediately after giving effect to such assignment, an aggregate net worth (computed in accordance with GAAP) at least equal to the aggregate net worth (as so computed) of Tenant immediately prior to such assignment or on the Effective Date, whichever is greater.
(c)    Notwithstanding Section 5.01(a), without the consent of Landlord, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant; provided, that (i) Landlord shall have received a notice of such assignment or sublease from Tenant; and (ii) in the case of any such assignment, (A) the assignment is for a valid business purpose and not to avoid any obligations under this Lease, and (B) the assignee assumes by written instrument satisfactory to Landlord all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  “Affiliate” means, as to any designated person or entity, any other person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such designated person or entity.  “Control” (and with correlative meaning, “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means ownership or voting control, directly or indirectly, of 50% or more of the voting stock, partnership interests or other beneficial ownership interests of the entity in question.
(d)    Notwithstanding Section 5.01(a), the direct or indirect transfer of shares or other equity interests in Tenant shall not constitute an assignment of this Lease and shall not require Landlord’s consent if accomplished through a recognized stock exchange or through the public “over-the-counter” securities market. 
5.02    Landlord’s Right of First Offer.  (a)  If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or part of the Premises (other than in accordance with Sections 5.01(b) or (c), Tenant shall give to Landlord notice (“Tenant’s Offer Notice”) thereof, specifying (i) in the case of a proposed subletting, the location of the space to be sublet and the term of the subletting of such space, (ii) (A) in the case of a proposed assignment, Tenant’s good faith offer of the consideration Tenant desires to receive or pay for such assignment or (B) in the case of a proposed subletting, Tenant’s good faith offer of the fixed annual rent that Tenant desires to receive for such proposed subletting (assuming that a subtenant will pay for Taxes, Operating Expenses and electricity in the same manner, and utilizing the same base year or base amount, as Tenant pays for such amounts under this Lease) and (iii) the proposed assignment or sublease commencement date.
(b)    Tenant’s Offer Notice shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord (or Landlord’s designee) may, at Landlord’s option, (i) sublease such space from Tenant (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of all or part of the Premises), (ii) have this Lease assigned to it or terminate this Lease (if the proposed transaction is an assignment or a sublease of all or substantially all of the Premises or a sublease of a portion of the Premises that, when aggregated with other subleases then in effect, covers all or substantially all of 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).  Said option may be exercised by Landlord by notice to Tenant within 30 days after a Tenant’s Offer Notice, together with all information required pursuant to Section 5.02(a), has been given by Tenant to Landlord.
- 40 -

(c)    If Landlord exercises its option under Section 5.02(b)(ii) to terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate on the proposed assignment or sublease commencement date specified in the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice and all Rent shall be paid and apportioned to such date.
(d)    If Landlord exercises its option under Section 5.02(b)(ii) to have this Lease assigned to it (or its designee), then Tenant shall assign this Lease to Landlord (or Landlord’s designee) by an assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, effective on the date that is the proposed assignment or sublease commencement date specified in the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice.  Tenant shall not be entitled to consideration or payment from Landlord (or Landlord’s designee) in connection with any such assignment.  If the Tenant’s Offer Notice provides that Tenant will pay any consideration or grant any concessions in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease, then Tenant shall pay such consideration and/or grant any such concessions to Landlord (or Landlord’s designee) on the date Tenant assigns this Lease to Landlord (or Landlord’s designee).
(e)    If Landlord exercises its option under Section 5.02(b)(iii) to terminate this Lease with respect to the space covered by a proposed sublease, then (i) this Lease shall terminate with respect to such part of the Premises on the effective date of the proposed sublease; (ii) from and after such 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; (iii) if Tenant’s Offer Notice provided that the space covered by the proposed sublease would be separately demised, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, the costs incurred by Landlord in demising separately such part of the Premises and in complying with any Laws relating to such demise, unless the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice states that the proposed subtenant shall be responsible for the cost of such demising work in which case Tenant shall not be obligated to make such payment to Landlord; and (iv) Tenant’s Share shall be appropriately adjusted.
(f)    If Landlord exercises its option under Section 5.02(b)(i) to sublet the space Tenant desires to sublet, such sublease to Landlord or its designee (as subtenant) shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord 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 rental set forth in the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice with respect to such sublet space, and shall be for the term set forth in the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice, and:

(B)    shall be upon the same terms and conditions as those contained in the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice and otherwise on the terms 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 5.02(f);
(C)    shall permit the sublessee, without Tenant’s consent, freely to assign such sublease or any interest therein or to sublet all or any part of 
- 41 -

the space covered by such sublease and to make any and all alterations and improvements in the space covered by such sublease;
(D)    shall provide that any assignee or further subtenant of Landlord or its designee may, at the election of Landlord, make alterations, decorations and installations in such space or any part thereof, any or all of which may be removed, in whole or in part, by such assignee or subtenant, at its option (and, unless Tenant agrees otherwise, shall be removed in the case of a sublease for less than substantially all of the remaining Term), prior to or upon the expiration or other termination of such sublease; provided, that such assignee or subtenant, at its expense, shall repair any damage caused by such removal; and
(E)    shall provide that (1) 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, (2) any assignment or subletting by Landlord or its designee (as the subtenant) may be for any purpose or purposes that Landlord shall deem appropriate, (3) Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, may make such alterations as may be required or deemed necessary by Landlord to demise separately the subleased space and to comply with any Laws relating to such demise, unless the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice states that the proposed subtenant shall be responsible for the cost of such demising work in which case such work shall be performed at Landlord’s cost, and (4) at the expiration of the term of such sublease, Tenant shall accept the space covered by such sublease in its then existing condition, subject to the obligations of the sublessee to make such repairs thereto as may be necessary to preserve such space in good order and condition.
(g)    In the case of a proposed sublease, Tenant shall not sublet any space to a third party at a rental that is less (on a per rentable square foot basis) than the rental (on a per rentable square foot basis) specified in Tenant’s Offer Notice with respect to such space, without complying once again with all of the provisions of this Section 5.02 and re-offering such space to Landlord at such lower rental.  In the case of a proposed assignment, Tenant shall not assign this Lease to a third party where Tenant pays greater consideration or grants a greater concession to such third party for such assignment than the consideration offered to be paid or concession offered to be granted to Landlord in Tenant’s Offer Notice, or receives less consideration from such third party for such assignment than the consideration offered to be paid by Landlord in Tenant’s Offer Notice, in each case without complying once again with all of the provisions of this Section 5.02 and re-offering to assign this Lease to Landlord and pay such consideration or grant such concession to Landlord.
5.03    Assignment and Subletting Procedures.  (a)  If Tenant delivers to Landlord a Tenant’s Offer Notice with respect to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of all or part of the Premises and Landlord does not timely exercise any of its options under Section 5.02, and Tenant thereafter desires to assign this Lease or sublet the space specified in Tenant’s Offer Notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord (a “Transfer Notice”) of such desire, which notice shall be accompanied by (i) a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease and all related 
- 42 -

(i)    Such Transfer Notice shall be delivered to Landlord within 90 days after the delivery to Landlord of the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice.
(ii)    No Event of Default is continuing.
(iii)    In Landlord’s reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or subtenant will use the Premises in a manner that (A) is in keeping with the then standards of the Building, (B) is limited to the use expressly permitted under this Lease, and (C) will not violate any negative covenant as to use contained in any other Lease of space in the Building.
(iv)    The proposed assignee or subtenant is, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, a reputable person or entity of good character and with sufficient financial worth considering the responsibility involved.
(v)    Neither the proposed assignee or sublessee, nor any Affiliate of such assignee or sublessee, is then an occupant of any part of the Building.
(vi)    The proposed assignee or sublessee is not a person with whom Landlord is then negotiating or has within the prior 6 months exchanged written proposals to lease space in the Building.

- 43 -

5.04    General Provisions.  (a)  If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee.  If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, during the continuance of an Event of Default, collect rent from the subtenant or occupant.  In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount collected against Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 5.01(a), or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
(b)    No assignment or transfer shall be effective until the assignee delivers to Landlord (i) evidence that the assignee, as Tenant hereunder, has complied with the requirements of Sections 7.02 and 7.03, and (ii) an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee assumes Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
(c)    Notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in violation of this Lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of any Rent by Landlord from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the original named Tenant and each successor Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the Rent and the performance of all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease.  The joint and several liability of Tenant and any immediate or remote successor in interest of Tenant shall not be discharged, released or impaired in any respect by any agreement made by Landlord extending the time to perform, or otherwise modifying, any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
(d)    Each subletting by Tenant shall be subject to the following:
(i)    No subletting shall be for a term (including any renewal or extension options contained in the sublease) ending later than one day prior to the Expiration Date.
(ii)    No sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, until there has been delivered to Landlord, both (A) an executed counterpart of such sublease, and (B) a certificate of insurance evidencing that (x) Landlord is an additional insured under the insurance policies required to be maintained by occupants of the Premises pursuant to Section 7.02, and (y) there is in full force and effect, the insurance otherwise required by Section 7.02.
(iii)    Each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease, and that in the event of termination, reentry or dispossess by Landlord under this Lease Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be liable for, subject to or bound by any item of the type that a Successor Landlord is not so liable for, subject to or bound by in the case of an attornment by Tenant to a Successor Landlord under Section 6.01(a).
- 44 -

(e)    Each sublease shall provide that the subtenant may not assign its rights thereunder or further sublet the space demised under the sublease, in whole or in part, without Landlord’s consent and without complying with all of the terms and conditions of this Article 5, including, without limitation, Section 5.04, which for purposes of this Section 5.04(e) shall be deemed to be appropriately modified to take into account that the transaction in question is an assignment of the sublease or a further subletting of the space demised under the sublease, as the case may be.
(f)    Tenant shall not publicly advertise the availability of the Premises or any portion thereof as sublet space or by way of an assignment of this Lease, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that Tenant shall in no event advertise the rental rate or any description thereof.
(g)    Neither Tenant nor any direct or indirect subtenant of Tenant shall enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for use, occupancy or utilization of space in the Premises which provides for a rental or payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by any person from the property leased, occupied or utilized, or which would require the payment of any consideration which would not fall within the definitions of “rents from real property” as that term is defined in Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
5.05    Assignment and Sublease Profits.  (a)  If the aggregate of the amounts payable as fixed rent and as additional rent on account of Taxes, Operating Expenses and electricity by a subtenant under a sublease of any part of the Premises and the amount of any Other Sublease Consideration payable to Tenant by such subtenant, whether received in a lump-sum payment or otherwise shall be in excess of Tenant’s Basic Cost therefor at that time then, promptly after the collection thereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in monthly installments as and when collected, as Additional Rent, 50% of such excess.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord within 60 days after the end of each calendar year and within 60 days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease a statement specifying each sublease in effect during such calendar year or partial calendar year, the rentable area demised thereby, the term thereof and a computation in reasonable detail showing the calculation of the amounts paid and payable by the subtenant to Tenant, and by Tenant to Landlord, with respect to such sublease for the period covered by such statement.  “Tenant’s Basic Cost” for sublet space at any time means the sum of (i) the portion of the Fixed Rent, Tax Payments and Operating Payments that is attributable to the sublet space, plus (ii) the amount payable by Tenant on account of electricity in respect of the sublet space, plus (iii) the amount of any costs reasonably incurred by Tenant in making changes in the layout and finish of the sublet space for the subtenant amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease, plus (iv) the amount of any reasonable brokerage commissions and reasonable legal fees paid by Tenant in connection with the sublease amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease.  “Other Sublease Considerations” means all sums paid for the furnishing of services by Tenant and the sale or rental of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property less, in the case of the sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant’s federal income tax returns.
- 45 -

(b)    Upon any assignment of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 50% of the Assignment Consideration received by Tenant for such assignment, after deducting therefrom customary and reasonable closing expenses (including, any reasonable brokerage commissions paid by Tenant).  “Assignment Consideration” means an amount equal to all sums and other considerations paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment (including, without limitation, sums paid for the furnishing of services by Tenant and the sale or rental of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property, less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant’s federal income tax returns).
ARTICLE 6
Subordination; Default; Indemnity
6.01    Subordination.  (a)  This Lease is subject and subordinate to each mortgage (a “Superior Mortgage”) and each underlying lease (a “Superior Lease”) that may now or hereafter affect all or any portion of the Project or any interest therein.  The lessor under a Superior Lease is called a “Superior Lessor” and the mortgagee under a Superior Mortgage is called a “Superior Mortgagee”.  Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument reasonably requested by Landlord, a Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee to evidence such subordination, but no such instrument shall be necessary to make such subordination effective.  Tenant shall execute any amendment of this Lease requested by a Superior Mortgagee or a Superior Lessor; provided, that such amendment shall not result in a material increase in Tenant’s obligations, or a material reduction in the benefits available to Tenant, under this Lease.  In the event of the enforcement by a Superior Mortgagee of the remedies provided for by law or by such Superior Mortgage, or in the event of the termination or expiration of a Superior Lease, Tenant, upon request of such Superior Mortgagee, Superior Lessor or any person succeeding to the interest of such mortgagee or lessor (each, a “Successor Landlord”), shall automatically become the tenant of such Successor Landlord without change in the terms or provisions of this Lease (it being understood that Tenant shall, if requested, enter into a new lease on terms identical to those in this Lease); provided, that any Successor Landlord shall not be (i) liable for any act, omission or default of any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord); (ii) liable for the return of any moneys paid to or on deposit with any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord), except to the extent such moneys or deposits are delivered to such Successor Landlord; (iii) subject to any offset, claims or defense that Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord); (iv) bound by any Rent that Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord) unless actually received by such Successor Landlord; (v) bound by any covenant to perform or complete any construction in connection with the Project or the Premises or to pay any sums to Tenant in connection therewith; or (vi) bound by any waiver or forbearance under, or any amendment, modification, abridgment, cancellation or surrender of, this Lease made without the consent of such Successor Landlord.  Upon request by such Successor Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments, reasonably requested by such Successor Landlord, confirming the attornment provided for herein, but no such instrument shall be necessary to make such attornment effective.
- 46 -

(b)    Tenant shall give each Superior Mortgagee and each Superior Lessor a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that Tenant has been notified of the address of such mortgagee or lessor.  If Landlord fails to cure any default as to which Tenant is obligated to give notice pursuant to the preceding sentence within the time provided for in this Lease, then each such mortgagee or lessor shall have an additional 30 days after receipt of such notice within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if, within such 30 days, any such mortgagee or lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, without limitation, commencement of foreclosure proceedings or eviction proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated and Tenant shall not exercise any other rights or remedies under this Lease or otherwise while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to imply that Tenant has any right to terminate this Lease or any other right or remedy, except as may be otherwise expressly provided for in this Lease.
(c)    Landlord shall request for Tenant from any future Superior Lessor or future Superior Mortgagee, a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in such Superior Lessor’s and Superior Mortgagee’s (as applicable) standard form (an “SNDA”).  If Landlord is unable in good faith to obtain an SNDA by making any such a request, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, it being intended that Landlord’s sole obligation shall be to request that the holder of each Superior Mortgage and Superior Lease enter into such SNDA and, in no event shall Landlord be required to expend any sums in its effort to obtain such SNDA.  In no event shall Landlord be required to commence any litigation in order to obtain an SNDA, nor shall Landlord be required to take any step that may, in Landlord’s judgment, have an adverse effect on its relationship with the holder of such Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease.
(d)    Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, there is no Superior Lease or Superior Mortgage affecting the Project. 
6.02    Estoppel Certificate.  (a)  Within 15 Business Days following request from Landlord, any Superior Mortgagee or any Superior Lessor, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a statement executed and acknowledged by Tenant, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (i)  stating, to the extent then determinable, the Commencement Date, the First Rent Commencement Date, the Second Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, and that this Lease is then in full force and effect and has not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all modifications), (ii) setting forth the date to which Fixed Rent and any Additional Rent have been paid, together with the amount of monthly Fixed Rent, Tax Payment and Operating Payment then payable, (iii) stating whether or not, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord is in default under this Lease, and, if Tenant asserts that Landlord is in default, setting forth the specific nature of any such defaults, (iv) stating whether Landlord has failed to complete any work required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease, (v) stating whether there are any sums payable to Tenant by Landlord under this Lease, (vi) stating the amount of the security deposit, if any, under this Lease, (vii) stating whether there are any subleases affecting the Premises, (viii) stating the address of Tenant to which all notices and communications under this Lease shall be sent, and (ix) responding to any other matters reasonably requested by Landlord, such Superior Mortgagee or such Superior Lessor.  Tenant acknowledges that any statement delivered pursuant to this Section
- 47 -

6.02(a) may be relied upon by any purchaser or owner of the Project or the Building, or all or any portion of Landlord’s interest in the Project or the Building or under any Superior Lease, or by any Superior Mortgagee or assignee thereof, or by any Superior Lessor or assignee thereof.
(b)    Within 10 Business Days following request from Tenant (but in no event more than once in any twelve month period), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement executed and acknowledged by Landlord, in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant, (i) stating, to the extent then determinable, the Commencement Date, the First Rent Commencement Date, the Second Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, and that this Lease is then in full force and effect and has not been modified (or if modified, setting forth all modifications), (ii) setting forth the date to which Fixed Rent and any Additional Rent have been paid, together with the amount of monthly Fixed Rent, Tax Payment and Operating Payment then payable and (iii) stating whether or not, to Landlord’s knowledge, Tenant is in default under this Lease, and, if Landlord asserts that Tenant is in default, setting forth in reasonable specificity the nature of any such defaults.
6.03    Default.  This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation (each, an “Event of Default”) that:
(a)    if Tenant defaults in the payment of any Rent, and such default continues for 5 days after Landlord gives to Tenant a notice specifying such default, or
(b)    if Tenant defaults in the keeping, observance or performance of any covenant or agreement (other than a default of the character referred to in Sections 6.03(a), (c), (d), (e) or (f)), and if such default continues and is not cured within 30 days after Landlord gives to Tenant a notice specifying the same, or, in the case of a default that for causes beyond Tenant’s reasonable control cannot with due diligence be cured within such period of 30 days, if Tenant shall not immediately upon the receipt of such notice, (i) advise Landlord of Tenant’s intention duly to institute all steps necessary to cure such default and (ii) institute and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to cure the same, or
(c)    except as expressly permitted by Article 5, if there shall be any direct or indirect assignment (including, without limitation, any direct or indirect transfer of the interests in Tenant which is deemed to constitute an assignment hereunder), subletting or other transfer of this Lease or the term and estate granted hereby or of the right to occupy all or any portion of the Premises, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, or
(d)    if Tenant shall abandon the Premises (and the fact that any of Tenant’s Property remains in the Premises shall not be evidence that Tenant has not abandoned the Premises), or
(e)    if Tenant or any Affiliate of Tenant defaults under any other lease with Landlord or any Affiliate of Landlord, which default shall continue beyond any applicable grace period provided under such other lease, or
(f)    if Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord any Letter of Credit within the time period required under Section 2.07,
- 48 -

then, in any of such cases, in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall be entitled to give to Tenant a notice of intention to end the Term at the expiration of 3 days from the date of the giving of such notice, and, in the event such notice is given, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall terminate upon the expiration of such 3 days with the same effect as if the last of such 3 days were the Expiration Date, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided herein or pursuant to law.
6.04    Re-entry by Landlord.  If this Lease shall terminate as in Section 6.03 provided, Landlord or Landlord’s agents and servants may immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter into or upon the Premises, or any part thereof, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action at law or proceeding at 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.  The words “re-enter” and “re-entering” as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.  Upon such termination or re-entry, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any Rent then due and owing (in addition to any damages payable under Section 6.05).
6.05    Damages.  If this Lease is terminated under Section 6.03, or if Landlord re-enters the Premises under Section 6.04, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:
(a)    a sum that, at the time of such termination, represents the then value of the excess, if any, of (1) the aggregate of the Rent that, had this Lease not terminated, would have been payable hereunder by Tenant for the period commencing on the day following the date of such termination or re-entry to and including the Expiration Date over (2) the aggregate fair rental value of the Premises for the same period (for the purposes of this clause (a) the amount of Additional Rent that would have been payable by Tenant under Sections 2.02 and 2.03 shall, for each calendar year ending after such termination or re-entry, be deemed to be an amount equal to the amount of such Additional Rent payable by Tenant for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which such termination or re-entry shall occur), or
(b)    sums equal to the Rent that would have been payable by Tenant through and including the Expiration Date had this Lease not terminated or had Landlord not re-entered the Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified in this Lease; provided, that if Landlord shall relet all or any part of the Premises for all or any part of the period commencing on the day following the date of such termination or re-entry to and including the Expiration Date, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, 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, without limitation, 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 under this Lease, (ii) in no event shall Tenant be entitled, in any suit for the collection of

damages pursuant to this Section 6.05(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 on account of any period that is the subject of such suit, (iii) if the Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot rentable area basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting, and (iv) Landlord shall have no obligation to so relet the Premises and Tenant hereby waives any right Tenant may have, at law or in equity, to require Landlord to so relet the Premises.
Suit or suits for the recovery of any damages payable hereunder by Tenant, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired but for such termination or re-entry.
6.06    Other Remedies.  Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant.  Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, during the continuation of any default by Tenant, Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise any rights or options, or to receive any funds or proceeds being held, under or pursuant to this Lease.
6.07    Right to Injunction.  In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease, 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, and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for.
6.08    Certain Waivers.  Tenant waives and surrenders all right and privilege that Tenant might have under or by reason of any present or future law to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after Tenant is dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after any termination of this Lease.  Tenant also waives the provisions of any law relating to notice and/or delay in levy of execution in case of any eviction or dispossession for nonpayment of rent, and the provisions of any successor or other law of like import.  Landlord and Tenant each waive trial by jury in any action in connection with this Lease.
6.09    No Waiver.  Failure by either party to declare any default immediately upon its occurrence or delay in taking any action in connection with such default shall not waive such default but such party shall have the right to declare any such default at any time thereafter.  Any amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord may be applied by Landlord, in Landlord’s discretion, to any items then owing by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease.  Receipt by Landlord of a partial payment shall not be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction (notwithstanding any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment) nor shall such receipt constitute a waiver by Landlord of Tenant’s obligation to make full payment.  No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord 
- 50 -

and by each Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee whose lease or mortgage provides that any such surrender may not be accepted without its consent.
6.10    Holding Over.  If Tenant holds over without the consent of Landlord after expiration or termination of this Lease, the parties agree that it is difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain the lost rent that the Landlord will suffer as a result of Tenant’s holdover.  As a result, Landlord and Tenant have mutually agreed to the following liquidated damages as a reasonable pre-estimate of the probable amount of damages for lost rent and not as a penalty:  Tenant shall pay as holdover rental for each month of the holdover tenancy an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage of the greater of (a) the fair market rental value of the Premises for such month (as reasonably determined by Landlord) and (b) the Rent that Tenant was obligated to pay for the month immediately preceding the end of the Term.  In addition, with respect to Landlord’s damages other than lost rent, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against (i) any payment or rent concession that Landlord may be required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises (a “New Tenant”) by reason of the late delivery of space to the New Tenant as a result of Tenant’s holding over or in order to induce such New Tenant not to terminate its lease by reason of the holding over by Tenant, (ii) the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any New Tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding over by Tenant and (iii) any claim for damages by any New Tenant.  No holding over by Tenant after the Term shall operate to extend the Term.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the acceptance of any rent paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall not preclude Landlord from commencing and prosecuting a holdover or summary eviction proceeding. “Applicable Percentage” means (i) 125% for the first 30 days of such holdover, (ii) 150% for the next 60 days of such holdover and (iii) 200% thereafter. 
6.11    Attorneys’ Fees.  (a)  Subject to Section 6.11(b), if Landlord places the enforcement of this Lease or any part thereof, or the collection of any Rent due or to become due hereunder, or recovery of the possession of the Premises, in the hands of an attorney, or files suit upon the same, or in the event any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding is commenced involving Tenant, Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs actually incurred.
(b)    The prevailing party in any action or proceeding between Tenant and Landlord shall be reimbursed by the losing party, within 30 days after demand, for its reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs.
6.12    Nonliability and Indemnification.  (a)  Neither Landlord, any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee, nor any partner, director, officer, shareholder, principal, agent, servant or employee of Landlord, any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee (whether disclosed or undisclosed), shall be liable to Tenant for (i) any loss, injury or damage to Tenant or to any other person, or to its or their property, irrespective of the cause of such injury, damage or loss (including, without limitation fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, air contaminants or emissions, electricity, electrical or electronic emanations or disturbance, water, rain or snow or leaks from any part the Building or from the pipes, appliances, equipment or plumbing works or from the roof or from any other place), nor shall the aforesaid parties be liable for any loss of or damage to property of Tenant or of others entrusted to employees of Landlord; provided, that, 
- 51 -

except to the extent of the release of liability and waiver of subrogation provided in Section 7.03 hereof, the foregoing shall not be deemed to relieve Landlord of any liability to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees in the operation or maintenance of the Premises or the Building, (ii) any loss, injury or damage described in clause (i) above caused by other tenants or persons in, upon or about the Building, or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work, or (iii) even if negligent, consequential damages arising out of any loss of use of the Premises or any equipment, facilities or other Tenant’s Property therein or otherwise.
(b)    Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, all Superior Lessors and all Superior Mortgagees and each of their respective partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, principals, agents and employees (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with (i) the conduct or management of the Premises or of any business therein, or any work or thing done, or any condition created, in or about the Premises, (ii) any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant or any of their respective partners, directors, officers, agents, employees or contractors, (iii) any accident, injury or damage occurring in, at or upon the Premises (or outside the Premises if arising from or in connection with Tenant’s installations in, or use of, areas outside the Premises), (iv) any default by Tenant in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and (v) any brokerage commission or similar compensation claimed to be due by reason of any proposed subletting or assignment by Tenant (irrespective of the exercise by Landlord of any of the options in Section 5.02(b)); together with all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon, including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees and disbursements; provided, that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the extent such claim results from the negligence (other than negligence to which the release of liability and waiver of subrogation provided in Section 7.03 applies) or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Party.  If any action or proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Party by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from such Indemnified Party shall resist and defend such action or proceeding (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party).
6.13    Consequential Damages  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, and except as set forth in Section 6.10 above, in no event shall Landlord or Tenant be liable for special, punitive, or consequential damages in matters arising under this Lease or otherwise with respect to the Premises or the Project.
ARTICLE 7
Insurance; Casualty; Condemnation
7.01    Compliance with Insurance Standards.  (a)  Tenant shall not violate, or permit the violation of, any condition imposed by any insurance policy then issued in respect of the Project and shall not do, or permit anything to be done, or keep or permit anything to be kept in the Premises, that would subject Landlord, any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee to any liability or responsibility for personal injury or death or property damage, or that would increase any insurance rate in respect of the Project over the rate that would otherwise then be in 
- 52 -

effect or that would result in insurance companies of good standing refusing to insure the Project in amounts reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, or that would result in the cancellation of, or the assertion of any defense by the insurer in whole or in part to claims under, any policy of insurance in respect of the Project.
(b)    If, by reason of any failure of Tenant to comply with this Lease, the premiums on Landlord’s insurance on the Project shall be higher than they otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, on demand, for that part of such premiums attributable to such failure on the part of Tenant.  A schedule or “make up” of rates for the Project or the Premises, as the case may be, issued by any body making rates for insurance for the Project or the Premises, as the case may be, shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated and of the several items and charges in the insurance rate then applicable to the Project or the Premises, as the case may be.
7.02    Tenant’s Insurance.  (a)  Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall maintain at all times during the Term:
(i)    property insurance written on an ISO CP 10 30-Cause of Loss-Special Form, commonly referred to as the “all risk” policy form, or equivalent, including, without limitation, coverage against sprinkler leakage and other damage due to water, insuring all present and future Tenant’s Property and Fixtures and any other personal property leased by or in the care, custody and control of Tenant and located in the Premises in an amount of not less than the full replacement cost thereof, with an agreed amount endorsement (waiving applicable co-insurance clause);
(ii)    business interruption insurance covering any loss due to the occurrence of any of the hazards insured against by Tenant in Section 7.02(a)(i), in an amount sufficient to cover Tenant’s monetary obligations under this Lease for a period of at least twelve months;
(iii)    commercial general liability insurance written on an ISO CG 00 01 occurrence policy form or equivalent, including a Separation of Insureds clause and coverage for contractual liability, covering Tenant’s contractual obligations under this Lease as an “insured contract”, personal injury liability, host liquor liability, premises-operations and hazards thereto, as well as liability arising out of this Lease, in respect of the Premises and the conduct or operation of business therein, with Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent, if any, and each Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee whose name and address shall have been furnished to Tenant, each as an additional insured (including for ongoing and products-completed operations coverage), which shall be primary, and any other insurance that may be available to Landlord and any such additional insured will be excess and non-contributory, in amounts of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate (applying per location) for bodily injury (including death) and property damage liability, $1,000,000 personal and advertising injury, and $2,000,000 products-completed operations (for which coverage shall be maintained continuously for a minimum period equal to three years after the completion of Tenant’s operations under this Lease);
- 53 -

(iv)    workers’ compensation in statutory limits together with employer’s liability insurance in amounts of not less than $1,000,000 each accident, $1,000,000 disease policy limit, and $1,000,000 disease each employee;
(v)    business automobile liability insurance covering liability arising from any auto (including, owned, non-owned, and hired auto, provided that such non-owned and hired auto liability may be satisfied by endorsement to the commercial general liability policy) in an amount of not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit per accident for bodily injury and property damage, which names Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent, if any, and each Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee whose name and address shall have been furnished to Tenant, each as an additional insured, which shall be primary, and any other insurance that may be available to Landlord and any such additional insured will be excess and non-contributory;
(vi)    liquor liability insurance, if Tenant sells or dispenses alcoholic beverages, in amounts of not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 annual aggregate, which names Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent, if any, and each Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee whose name and address shall have been furnished to Tenant, each as an additional insured, which shall be primary, and any other insurance that may be available to Landlord and any such additional insured will be excess and non-contributory;
(vii)    umbrella/excess liability insurance on a follow form basis in amounts of not less than $10,000,000 per occurrence and $10,000,000 annual aggregate (applying per location) in excess of commercial general liability, employer’s liability, and automobile liability, as well as liquor liability (if applicable) insurance policies, concurrent to, and not more restrictive than such underlying insurance policies, which names Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent, if any, and each Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee whose name and address shall have been furnished to Tenant, each as an additional insured.  Such umbrella/excess liability policy must be endorsed to provide that it is primary to, and non-contributory with, any other insurance on which Landlord and any such additional insured are an insured, whether such other insurance is primary, excess, self-insurance, or insurance on any other basis, which must cause the umbrella/excess coverage to be vertically exhausted, whereby such coverage is not subject to any "Other Insurance" provision under Tenant’s umbrella/excess liability policy.  The limits of liability may be satisfied by a combination of primary and excess liability insurance; 
(viii)    boiler and machinery, if there is a boiler, supplemental air conditioning unit or pressure object or similar equipment in the Premises, with Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent, if any, and each Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee whose name and address shall have been furnished to Tenant, as loss payees as their interests may appear, with limits of not less than the full replacement cost thereof, with an agreed amount endorsement; and
(ix)    when Alterations are in process, the insurance specified in Section 4.02(f) above.
- 54 -

(b)    The limits of such insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional insureds, at least 10 days prior to the Commencement Date, certificates of insurance as evidence of such policies required herein, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and issued by the insurance company or its authorized agent.  Tenant shall provide copies of policies to Landlord upon request.  Tenant shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord and any additional insureds such renewal policy or a certificate thereof at least 30 days before the expiration of any existing policy.  In no event will any acceptance of certificates of insurance by Landlord, or failure of Tenant to provide certificates of insurance as required hereunder, be construed as a waiver or limitation of Tenant’s obligations to maintain insurance coverage pursuant to this Section 7.02.  Tenant shall endorse all such liability policies to waive rights of subrogation against Landlord and Landlord’s managing agent, if any, and each Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee whose name and address shall have been furnished to Tenant.  All such policies shall be issued by companies of recognized responsibility licensed to do business in the State of New York State and rated by Best’s Insurance Reports or any successor publication of comparable standing as A/VIII or better or the then equivalent of such rating.  In addition, all such policies shall not be canceled, allowed to lapse, or modified unless Landlord and any additional insured are given at least 30 days prior written notice of such cancellation, lapse, or modification, which shall be afforded by endorsement extending such notice of cancellation rights to Landlord and any additional insureds.  The deductible or self-insured retention amount required under any insurance policy maintained by Tenant shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant and shall not exceed $100,000, unless otherwise approved by Landlord in writing.  The proceeds of policies providing “all risk” property insurance of Tenant’s Property and Fixtures shall be payable to Landlord, Tenant and each Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee as their interests may appear.  Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in connection with the collection of any insurance moneys that may be due in the event of loss and Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord such proofs of loss and other instruments which may be required to recover any such insurance moneys.  Landlord may from time to time require that the amount of the insurance to be maintained by Tenant under this Section 7.02 be increased, so that the amount thereof adequately protects Landlord’s interest.
7.03    Subrogation Waiver.  Landlord and Tenant shall each include in each of its insurance policies (insuring the Building in case of Landlord, and insuring Tenant’s Property and Fixtures in the case of Tenant, against loss, damage or destruction by fire or other casualty) a waiver of the insurer’s right of subrogation against the other party during the Term or, if such waiver should be unobtainable or unenforceable, (a) an express agreement that such policy shall not be invalidated if the assured waives the right of recovery against any party responsible for a casualty covered by the policy before the casualty or (b) any other form of permission for the release of the other party.  Each party hereby releases the other party with respect to any claim (including a claim for negligence) that it might otherwise have against the other party for loss, damage or destruction with respect to its property occurring during the Term to the extent to which it is, or is required to be, insured under a policy or policies containing a waiver of subrogation or permission to release liability.  Nothing contained in this Section 7.03 shall be deemed to relieve either party of any duty imposed elsewhere in this Lease to repair, restore or rebuild or to nullify any abatement of rents provided for elsewhere in this Lease.
- 55 -

7.04    Condemnation.  (a)  If there shall be a total taking of the Building in condemnation proceedings or by any right of eminent domain, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall terminate as of the date of taking of possession by the condemning authority and all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated and paid as of such termination date.  If there shall be a taking of any material (in Landlord’s reasonable judgment) portion of the Land or the Building (whether or not the Premises are affected by such taking), then Landlord may terminate this Lease and the term and estate granted hereby by giving notice to Tenant within 60 days after the date of taking of possession by the condemning authority.  If there shall be a taking of the Premises of such scope (but in no event less than 20% thereof) that the untaken part of the Premises would in Tenant’s reasonable judgment be uneconomic to operate, then Tenant may terminate this Lease and the term and estate granted hereby by giving notice to Landlord within 60 days after the date of taking of possession by the condemning authority.  If either Landlord or Tenant shall give a termination notice as aforesaid, then this Lease and the term and estate granted hereby shall terminate as of the date of such notice and all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated and paid as of such termination date.  In the event of a taking of the Premises that does not result in the termination of this Lease (i) the term and estate hereby granted with respect to the taken part of the Premises shall terminate as of the date of taking of possession by the condemning authority and all Fixed Rent (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, Supplemental Rent) and Additional Rent shall be appropriately abated for the period from such date to the Expiration Date and (ii) Landlord shall with reasonable diligence restore the remaining portion of the Premises (exclusive of Tenant’s Property) as nearly as practicable to its condition prior to such taking.
(b)    In the event of any taking of all or a part of the Building, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in the condemnation proceeding, including, without limitation, any award made for the value of the estate vested by this Lease in Tenant or any value attributable to the unexpired portion of the Term, and Tenant hereby 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; provided, that nothing shall preclude Tenant from intervening in any such condemnation proceeding to claim or receive from the condemning authority any compensation to which Tenant may otherwise lawfully be entitled in such case in respect of Tenant’s Property or moving expenses, provided the same do not include any value of the estate vested by this Lease in Tenant or of the unexpired portion of the Term and do not reduce the amount available to Landlord or materially delay the payment thereof.
(c)    If all or any part of the Premises shall be taken for a limited period, Tenant shall be entitled, except as hereinafter set forth, to that portion of the award for such taking that represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises, for the taking of Tenant’s Property and for moving expenses, and Landlord shall be entitled to that portion that represents reimbursement for the cost of restoration of the Premises.  This Lease shall remain unaffected by such taking and Tenant shall continue responsible for all of its obligations under this Lease to the extent such obligations are not affected by such taking and shall continue to pay in full all Rent when due.  If the period of temporary use or occupancy shall extend beyond the Expiration Date, that part of the award that represents compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the Expiration Date.  Any award for temporary 
- 56 -

use and occupancy for a period beyond the date to which the Rent has been paid shall be paid to, held and applied by Landlord as a trust fund for payment of the Rent thereafter becoming due.
(d)    In the event of any taking that does not result in termination of this Lease, (i) Landlord, whether or not any award shall be sufficient therefor, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair the remaining parts of the Building and the Premises (other than those parts of the Premises that constitute Tenant’s Property) to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same may be feasible (subject to reasonable changes that Landlord deems desirable) and so as to constitute a complete and rentable Building and Premises and (ii) Tenant, whether or not any award shall be sufficient therefor, shall proceed with reasonable diligence to repair the remaining parts of the Premises that constitute Tenant’s Property, to substantially their former condition to the extent that the same may be feasible, subject to reasonable changes that shall be deemed Alterations.
(e)    All references in this Section 7.04 to the “Building” shall be construed to mean only the south tower of the Project.
7.05    Casualty.  (a)  If the Building or the Premises shall be partially or totally damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (each, a “Casualty”) and if this Lease is not terminated as provided below, then (i) Landlord shall repair and restore the Building and the Premises (excluding all Fixtures and Tenant’s Property) with reasonable dispatch (but Landlord shall not be required to perform the same on an overtime or premium pay basis) after notice to Landlord of the Casualty and the collection of the insurance proceeds attributable to such Casualty and (ii) Tenant shall repair and restore in accordance with Section 4.02 all Fixtures and Tenant’s Property with reasonable dispatch after the Casualty.
(b)    If all or part of the Premises shall be rendered Untenantable by reason of a Casualty, the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent under Sections 2.01(a) and 2.02  shall be abated in the proportion that the Untenantable area of the Premises bears to the total area of the Premises, for the period from the date of the Casualty to the earlier of (i) the date the Premises is made tenantable (provided, that if the Premises would have been tenantable at an earlier date but for Tenant having failed diligently to prosecute repairs or restoration, then the Premises shall be deemed to have been made tenantable on such earlier date and the abatement shall cease) or (ii) the date Tenant or any subtenant reoccupies a portion of the Premises for the ordinary conduct of business (in which case the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion shall be payable by Tenant from the date of such occupancy).  Landlord’s determination of the date the Premises is tenantable shall be controlling unless Tenant disputes same by notice to Landlord within 20 days after such determination by Landlord, and pending resolution of such dispute, Tenant shall pay Rent in accordance with Landlord’s determination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by reason of any act or omission by Tenant, any subtenant or any of their respective partners, directors, officers, servants, employees, agents or contractors, Landlord, any Superior Lessor or any Superior Mortgagee shall be unable to collect all of the insurance proceeds (including, without limitation, rent insurance proceeds) applicable to the Casualty, then, without prejudice to any other remedies that may be available against Tenant, there shall be no abatement of Rent.  Nothing contained in this Section 7.05 shall relieve Tenant from any liability that may exist as a result of any Casualty. “Untenantable” means that Tenant shall be unable to use, and 
- 57 -

shall not be using, the Premises or the applicable portion thereof for the conduct of Tenant’s business in the manner in which such business is ordinarily conducted in such portion of the Premises.
(c)    If by reason of a Casualty (i) the Building shall be totally damaged or destroyed, (ii) the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed (whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed) that Landlord’s repair or restoration shall require more than 270 days or the expenditure of more than 20% of the full insurable value of the Building (which, for purposes of this Section 7.05(c), shall mean replacement cost less the cost of footings, foundations and other structures below the street and first floors of the Building) immediately prior to the Casualty or (iii) more than 30% of the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed (as estimated in any such case by a reputable contractor, architect or engineer designated by Landlord), then in any such case Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice given to Tenant within 180 days after the Casualty.
(d)    Supplementing the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.05, within 60 days after Landlord has actual knowledge of any Casualty, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant an estimate prepared by a reputable contractor selected by Landlord reasonably acceptable to Tenant setting forth such contractor’s estimate as to the time reasonably required to repair such damage in order to make the Premises (or such portion thereof) no longer Untenantable.  If the period set forth in any such estimate exceeds 365 days from the date of such Casualty or if such casualty occurs during the last year of the Term, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord given not later than 30 days following Tenant’s receipt of such estimate.  If Tenant shall exercise such election, the Term of this Lease shall terminate on the 30th day after notice of such election shall be given by Tenant, and Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
(e)    Upon any termination of this Lease under this Section 7.05, Tenant’s liability for Fixed Rent and Additional Rent hereunder shall cease as of the date of such termination, and any prepaid portion of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent for any period after such date shall promptly be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.
(f)    Landlord shall not carry any insurance on any Tenant’s Property or Fixtures and shall not be obligated to repair or replace Tenant’s Property or Fixtures.  Tenant shall look solely to Tenant’s insurance for recovery of any damage to or loss of Tenant’s Property or Fixtures.  Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly of any Casualty in the Premises.
(g)    This Section 7.05 shall be deemed an express agreement governing any damage or destruction of the Premises by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the New York Real Property Law providing for such a contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other law of like import now or hereafter in force, shall have no application.  All references in this Section 7.05 to the “Building” shall be construed to mean only the south tower of the Project.

Landlord shall not be obligated to enforce the rules of the Building against Tenant or any other tenant of the Building or any other party, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant by reason of the violation by any tenant or other party of the rules of the Building; provided, that Landlord shall not enforce the rules of the Building in a manner that discriminates against Tenant.

(a)  “Landlord” means only the owner, at the time in question, of the Building or that portion of the Building of which the Premises are a part, or of a lease of the Building or that portion of the Building of which the Premises are a part, so that in the event of any transfer or transfers of title to the Building or of Landlord’s interest in a lease of the Building or such portion of the Building, the transferor shall be and hereby is relieved and freed of all obligations of Landlord under this Lease accruing after such transfer, and it shall be deemed, without further agreement, that such transferee has assumed all obligations of Landlord during the period it is the holder of Landlord’s interest under this Lease.
(b)    “Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant” or words of similar import mean that Tenant is not entitled to terminate this Lease, or to claim actual or constructive eviction, partial, or total, or to receive any abatement or diminution of Rent, or to be relieved in any manner of any of its other obligations under this Lease, or to be compensated for loss or injury suffered or to enforce any other right or kind of liability whatsoever against Landlord under or with respect to this Lease or with respect to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises.

The term “CPI” shall mean Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT-PA, 1982-84=100, or any successor to such index, appropriately adjusted, or if no such index or successor index shall be published, such similar index, appropriately adjusted, as shall reasonably be designated by Landlord.
8.05    Quiet Enjoyment.  Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises, subject to the other terms of this Lease and to Superior Leases and Superior Mortgages, provided that Tenant pays the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent to be paid by Tenant and performs all of Tenant’s covenants and agreements contained in this Lease.

8.07    Counterclaims.  If Landlord commences any summary proceeding or action for nonpayment of Rent or to recover possession of the Premises, Tenant shall not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description in any such proceeding or action, unless Tenant’s failure to interpose such counterclaim in such proceeding or action would result in the waiver of Tenant’s right to bring such claim in a separate proceeding under applicable law.
8.08    Survival.  All obligations and liabilities of Landlord or Tenant to the other that accrued before the expiration or other termination of this Lease and all such obligations and liabilities that by their nature or under the circumstances can only be, or by the provisions of this Lease may be, performed after such expiration or other termination, shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease.

- 61 -

8.09    Certain Remedies.  If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent and Landlord fails or refuses to give such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding by Landlord of its consent (unless there is an affirmative finding by a court of competent jurisdiction that Landlord withheld such consent in bad faith), it being intended that (unless Landlord shall have so been determined to have acted in bad faith) Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance or injunction, and that such remedy shall be available only in those cases where this Lease provides that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent.  No dispute relating to this Lease or the relationship of Landlord and Tenant under this Lease shall be resolved by arbitration unless this Lease expressly provides for such dispute to be resolved by arbitration.
8.10    No Offer.  The submission by Landlord of this Lease in draft form shall be 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 a lease and duplicate originals thereof shall have been delivered to the respective parties.
8.11    Captions; Construction.  The table of contents, captions, headings and titles in this Lease are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation.  This Lease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Lease to be drafted.  Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed, shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of Tenant, not dependent on any other provision of this Lease.
8.12    Amendments.  This Lease may not be altered, changed or amended, except by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged.
8.13    Brokers.  Each party represents to the other that such party has dealt with no broker other than the Brokers in connection with this Lease or the Building, and each party shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of any claim for a commission or other compensation by any broker other than the Brokers who alleges that it has dealt with the indemnifying party in connection with this Lease or the Building.  Landlord shall enter into a separate agreement with the Brokers that provides that, if this Lease is executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant, Landlord shall pay to the Brokers a commission to be agreed upon between Landlord and the Brokers, subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of such agreement.
8.14    Merger.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made and is not making, and Tenant, in executing and delivering this Lease, is not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements, except to the extent that the same are expressly set forth in this Lease.  This Lease embodies the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and all prior agreements, understanding and statements, oral or written, with respect thereto are merged in this Lease.
8.15    Successors.  This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Tenant, 
- 62 -

its successors, and to the extent that an assignment may be approved by Landlord, Tenant’s assigns.
8.16    Applicable Law.  This Lease shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of laws.
8.17    No Development Rights.  Tenant acknowledges that it has no rights to any development rights, air rights or comparable rights appurtenant to the Project, and consents, without further consideration, to any utilization of such rights by Landlord.  Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instruments that may be requested by Landlord, including instruments merging zoning lots, evidencing such acknowledgment and consent.  The provisions of this Section 8.17 shall be construed as an express waiver by Tenant of any interest Tenant may have as a “party in interest” (as such term is defined in Section 12-10 Zoning Lot of the Zoning Resolution of the City of New York) in the Project.
8.18    Condominium.  This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to any condominium declaration and any other documents (collectively, the “Declaration”) that are or shall be recorded in order to convert the Land and the improvements erected thereon to a condominium form of ownership in accordance with the provisions of Article 9-B of the Real Property Law, or any successor thereto, provided the Declaration does not include other terms that increase Tenant’s obligations (in any material respect) or decrease Tenant’s rights (in any material respect).  If any such Declaration is to be recorded, Tenant, upon the request of Landlord, shall enter into an amendment of this Lease confirming such subordination and modifying the Lease in such respects as shall be necessary to conform to such condominiumization, including, without limitation, appropriate adjustments to Tenant’s Share and appropriate reductions in the Operating Expenses for the Base Operating Year and the Base Tax Amount; provided, that, such amendment shall not reduce Tenant’s rights or increase Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (in either case in any material respect) or increase Tenant’s monetary obligations under the Lease.
8.19    Embargoed Person.  Each of the parties represents that as of the Effective Date, and each of the parties covenants that throughout the term of this Lease: (a) such party is not, and shall not be, an Embargoed Person, (b) none of the funds or other assets of such party are or shall constitute property of, or are or shall be beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Embargoed Person; (c) no Embargoed Person shall have any interest of any nature whatsoever in such party, with the result that the investment in such party (whether directly or indirectly) is or would be blocked or prohibited by law or that this Lease and performance of the obligations hereunder are or would be blocked or in violation of law and (d) none of the funds of such party are, or shall be derived from, any activity with the result that the investment in such party (whether directly or indirectly) is or would be blocked or in violation of law or that this Lease and performance of the obligations hereunder are or would be in violation of law.  “Embargoed Person” means a person, entity or government (i) identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the United States Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control and/or any similar list maintained pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation and/or (ii) subject to trade restrictions under United States law, including, 
- 63 -

without limitation, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. § 1701 et seq., The Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated under any such laws, with the result that the investment in Tenant (whether directly or indirectly), is or would be prohibited by law or this Lease is or would be in violation of law and/or (iii) subject to blocking, sanction or reporting under the USA Patriot Act, as amended; Executive Order 13224, as amended; Title 31, Parts 595, 596 and 597 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, as they exist from time to time; and any other law or Executive Order or regulation through which the U.S. Department of the Treasury has or may come to have sanction authority.  If any representation made by either party pursuant to this Section 8.19 shall become untrue, such party shall within 10 days give written notice thereof to the other party, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reason(s) why such representation has become untrue and shall be accompanied by any relevant notices from, or correspondence with, the applicable governmental agency or agencies.
8.20    REIT.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord and/or certain beneficial owners of Landlord may from time to time qualify as real estate investment trusts pursuant to Sections 856 et seq. of the Code or as entities described in Section 511(a)(2) of the Code, and that avoiding (i) the loss of such status, (ii) the receipt of any income derived under any provision of this Lease that does not constitute “rents from real property” (in the case of real estate investment trusts) or that constitutes “unrelated business taxable income” (in the case of entities described in Section 511(a)(2) of the Code), and (iii) the imposition of penalty or similar taxes (each, an “Adverse Event”) is of material concern to Landlord and such beneficial owners and Tenant’s agreement herein contained regarding the avoidance of an Adverse Event is a material inducement to Landlord entering into this Lease.  If this Lease or any provision thereof could, in the opinion of counsel to Landlord, result in or cause an Adverse Event, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in amending or modifying this Lease and shall at the request of Landlord execute and deliver such documents reasonably required to effect such amendment or modification.  Any amendment or modification pursuant to this Section 8.20 shall be structured so that the economic results to Landlord and Tenant shall be substantially similar to those set forth in this Lease without regard to such amendment or modification.  Without limiting any of Landlord’s other rights under this Section 8.20, Landlord may waive the receipt of any amount payable to Landlord under this Lease, and such waiver shall constitute an amendment or modification of this Lease with respect to such payment.
8.21    Counterparts.  This Lease may be executed in counterparts each of which shall be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Facsimile and/or electronic signatures may be relied upon as if the same were original signatures.
8.22    Signage. 
(a)    Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, may install and maintain signage identifying Tenant in the elevator lobby of each floor of the Premises on which Tenant leases the full floor; provided, that Landlord shall have reasonable approval over the composition, size, aesthetics and content of such signage (and any material modifications thereto or replacements thereof).  
- 64 -

(b)    Subject to the provisions of Section 8.22(f), Tenant shall have the right, from and after the Commencement Date (but subject to applicable Laws), to place one sign identifying one name of Tenant (e.g., Justworks) at the location in the lobby of the Building depicted on Exhibit J-1 (the “Tenant Lobby Signage”).  The Tenant Lobby Signage shall comply with the Building signage criteria established by Landlord and delivered to Tenant from time to time (the “Signage Criteria”) and otherwise be subject to Landlord’s approval (including, without limitation, as to size, content, design, color and materials).  Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall be responsible for supplying the Tenant Lobby Signage. 
(c)    Subject to the provisions of Section 8.22(f), Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, from and after the Commencement Date (but subject to applicable Laws), to have a reasonable (as determined by Landlord) allocation of time to display Tenant’s logo and other content (the “Tenant Screen Displays”) on the digital screens above the main lobby desk (which allocation shall be no less than 5% of the time during which such screens are operational on an hourly basis) and on the screens in the passenger elevators serving the Premises (which allocations of the elevator screens shall be no less than 25% of the time during which such screens are operational on an hourly basis). The Tenant Screen Displays shall be subject to Landlord’s approval (including, without limitation, as to size, content, design and color) and Tenant shall submit Tenant’s proposed Tenant Screen Displays to Landlord for review and approval in the format and otherwise in compliance with the specifications set forth on Exhibit J-2 (the “Screen Display Specifications”).  Landlord shall have no obligation to review any Tenant Screen Displays submitted to Landlord for approval which do not comply with the Screen Display Specifications.  Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall be responsible for preparing and supplying the Tenant Screen Displays.  If Landlord approves Tenant’s proposed Tenant Screen Displays, Landlord shall change the Tenant Screen Displays within 5 Business Days following the date Landlord approves such Tenant Screen Displays. Tenant shall have the right to change the Tenant Screen Displays 1 time per calendar month. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant if at any time any of the screens which display the Tenant Screen Displays are not operational.   
(d)    Subject to the provisions of Section 8.22(f), Tenant shall have the right, from and after the Commencement Date (but only if and to the extent permitted by applicable Laws), to place one sign identifying one name of Tenant (e.g., Justworks) on the easterly side of the Building in approximately the location depicted on Exhibit J-3 (the “Tenant Exterior Signage” and, together with the Tenant Lobby Signage and Tenant Screen Displays, collectively, the “Tenant Signage”).  The size of the Tenant Exterior Signage shall be less than the maximum dimensions set forth on Exhibit J-3. The Tenant Exterior Signage shall also comply with the Signage Criteria and otherwise be subject to Landlord’s approval (including, without limitation, as to size, content, design, color and materials).  Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall be responsible for supplying the Tenant Exterior Signage.
(e)    Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, shall install, repair and maintain  the Tenant Lobby Signage and the Tenant Exterior Signage. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the installation, repair and maintenance of the Tenant Lobby Signage and the Tenant Exterior Signage within 30 days of receipt of an invoice therefor.  
- 65 -

(f)    Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of Sections 8.22(b), (c) and (d) with respect to the Tenant Signage shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and Landlord shall have the right at any time to remove the Tenant Signage, at Tenant’s expense, (i) if a Justworks Tenant is no longer the Tenant under this Lease, (ii) if the Initial Premises and the Additional Space or any portion of either are no longer included in the Premises, (iii) if Tenant is in occupancy of less than the entire Premises, or (iv) upon the occurrence or during the continuance of any Event of Default. Tenant may not grant the right to any Tenant Signage to any subtenant or other occupant of the Premises. 
(g)    If Landlord shall deem it necessary (in the exercise of reasonable and prudent business judgment) to remove any Tenant Signage or other signage installed by Tenant in order to paint or to make repairs, alterations or improvements, Landlord shall have the right to do so at Landlord’s expense, and shall reinstall such sign when the work performed by Landlord is completed.  On the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, Tenant shall (i) promptly remove the Tenant Signage and any other signage installed by Tenant and (ii) promptly repair in a good and workmanlike manner in conformity with Laws and all applicable provisions of the Lease, all damage to the Building caused by such removal, or at Tenant’s request, Landlord shall do so at Tenant’s expense.
8.23    Dogs. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.23, Tenant’s employees shall have the right to bring to the Building fully domesticated, fully vaccinated, dogs (“Permitted Dogs”), and to keep Permitted Dogs in the Premises during those times in which such employees are present in the Premises.  At no time shall there be more than 20 Permitted Dogs (the “Dog Cap”) in the Premises at any one time; provided, that, the Dog Cap shall be proportionately increased or decreased if space is added to, or removed from, the Premises initially demised under this Lease (inclusive of the Additional Space).  The Permitted Dogs, accompanied by their owners, shall be transported to and from the Premises through the Building’s freight elevator, which shall be free of charge during Business Hours on Business Days.  Permitted Dogs shall not be left unattended at any time.  Tenant shall be responsible for any damage and/or costs incurred as a result of Permitted Dogs’ presence in or about any portion of the Project.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall promptly repair any damage caused by Permitted Dogs in or about the Project, and Tenant’s indemnity in Section 6.12(b) shall apply to any claims, losses, damages, actions, causes of action, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection with the rights granted to Tenant under this Section 8.23. Tenant’s rights under this Section 8.23 are subject to, and Tenant shall comply with, all applicable Laws associated with or governing the presence of dogs at or within the Building, the rules and regulations set forth on Exhibit I annexed hereto and such other rules and regulations as may be adopted by Landlord from time to time.  The rights granted herein with respect to Permitted Dogs shall not apply or be transferable to any other animal.  Tenant shall not permit to be brought to the Building any Permitted Dog that is ill or contracts a disease that could potentially threaten the health or wellbeing of any tenant or occupant of the Building (including, without limitation, rabies, leptospirosis, flea infestation and Lyme disease).  Tenant shall only be entitled to the rights set forth in this Section 8.23 for so long as Tenant is a Justworks Tenant.
8.24    Parking.  Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with the third-party operator of the parking garage (the “Garage 
- 66 -

Operator”) in the Building (the “Garage”) so that Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, may rent up to 1 parking space in the Garage per full floor which is then a part of the Premises (the “Parking Spaces”).  Tenant shall contract with the Garage Operator to rent the Parking Spaces and shall pay the Garage Operator the market rates established by Garage Operator for such Parking Spaces.  Landlord, as landlord under the Lease, shall not be liable for any injury to person or property, or for loss or damage to any automobile parked in the Garage or its contents, resulting from theft, collision, vandalism or any other cause whatsoever and shall have no liability to Tenant if at any time during the Term the Parking Spaces are not available. 
ARTICLE 9
Renewal Right
9.01.    Renewal Right.  (a)  Provided that on the date Tenant exercises the Renewal Option and at the commencement of the Renewal Term (i) this Lease shall not have been terminated, (ii) no Event of Default is continuing and (iii) Tenant shall occupy at least 85% of the Renewal Premises, Tenant shall have the option (the “Renewal Option”) to extend the term of this Lease for an additional 5 year period (the “Renewal Term”), to commence at the expiration of the initial Term.
(b)    The Renewal Option shall be exercised with respect to either (i) the entire Premises or (ii) a contiguous block of full floors which includes at least 2 full floors starting with, at Tenant’s option, either the lowest floor or the highest floor of the largest contiguous block of full floors then constituting the Premises (the space as to which Tenant exercises a Renewal Option is called the “Renewal Premises”) and shall be exercisable by Tenant giving notice to Landlord (the “Renewal Notice”) at least 15 months before the last day of the initial Term. Tenant shall specify in the Renewal Notice the space to be included in the Renewal Premises (failing which the Renewal Premises shall be deemed to be the entire then Premises). Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of the Renewal Notice.  
9.02.    Renewal Rent and Other Terms.  (a)  The Renewal Term shall be upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that (i) the Fixed Rent shall be as determined pursuant to the further provisions of this Section 9.02; (ii) Tenant shall accept the Renewal Premises in its “as is” condition at the commencement of the Renewal Term, and Landlord shall not be required to perform any work, to pay the Work Allowance or any other amount or to render any services to make the Renewal Premises ready for Tenant’s use and occupancy or to provide any abatement of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, in each case with respect to the Renewal Term; (iii) Tenant shall have no option to renew this Lease beyond the expiration of the Renewal Term; (iv) the Base Tax Amount shall be the Taxes for the Tax Year ending immediately before the commencement of the Renewal Term and the Base Operating Year shall be the Operating Year ending immediately before the commencement of the Renewal Term; (v) all references in this Lease to the “Premises” shall be deemed to refer to the Renewal Premises; (vi) if the Renewal Premises consists of less than all of the then Premises, Tenant’s Share shall be proportionately reduced; (vii) if the Renewal Premises consists of less than all of the then Premises, then any space as to which this Lease is not being renewed shall be delivered to Landlord one day before the first day of the applicable Renewal Term vacant and free of any lien or encumbrance and otherwise in the condition required pursuant to this Lease as if such date were 
- 67 -

the expiration date of this Lease and (viii) all references in this Lease to the Expiration Date shall be deemed to mean the last day of the applicable Renewal Term.
(b)    The annual Fixed Rent for the Renewal Premises for the Renewal Term shall be Fair Market Rent.  “Fair Market Rent” means the fixed annual rent that a willing lessee would pay and a willing lessor would accept for the Renewal Premises during the Renewal Term, each party acting prudently and under no compulsion to lease, and taking into account all relevant factors.
(c)    If Tenant timely exercises the Renewal Option, Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “Rent Notice”) at least 120 days before the last day of the initial Term of Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent (“Landlord’s Initial Determination”).  Tenant shall notify Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), within 30 days after Tenant’s receipt of the Rent Notice, whether Tenant accepts or disputes Landlord’s Initial Determination, and if Tenant disputes Landlord’s Initial Determination, Tenant’s Notice shall set forth Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rent (“Tenant’s Initial Determination”).  If Tenant fails to give Tenant’s Notice within such 30 day period, or if Tenant gives Tenant’s Notice within such 30 day period but fails to set forth therein Tenant’s Initial Determination, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s Initial Determination.
(d)    (i)    If Tenant timely disputes Landlord’s Initial Determination and Landlord and Tenant fail to agree as to the Fair Market Rent within 30 days after the giving of Tenant’s Notice, then the Fair Market Rent shall be determined by arbitration in the City of New York, as set forth in this Section 9.02(d).  Tenant shall initiate the arbitration process by giving notice to that effect to Landlord within 30 days after the giving of Tenant’s Notice, which notice shall include the name and address of Tenant’s designated arbitrator.  If Tenant fails to give such notice within such 30 day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s Initial Determination.  Within 30 days after the designation of Tenant’s arbitrator, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant of the name and address of Landlord’s designated arbitrator.  If Landlord shall fail timely to appoint an arbitrator, then Tenant may request the AAA to appoint an arbitrator on Landlord’s behalf.  Such two arbitrators shall have 30 days to appoint a third arbitrator who shall be impartial.  If such arbitrators fail to do so, then either Landlord or Tenant may request the AAA to appoint an arbitrator who shall be impartial within 30 days after such request and both parties shall be bound by any appointment so made within such 30 day period.  If no such third arbitrator shall have been appointed within such 30 day period, either Landlord or Tenant may apply to the Supreme Court, New York County to make such appointment.  The third arbitrator only shall subscribe and swear to an oath fairly and impartially to determine such dispute.
(ii)    Within 7 days after the appointment of the third arbitrator, the three arbitrators will meet (the “Initial Meeting”) and set a hearing date for the arbitration.  The hearing shall not exceed two days and shall be scheduled to be held within 60 days after the meeting of the three arbitrators.  At the Initial Meeting, Landlord and Tenant may each submit a revised Fair Market Rent determination (each, a “Final Determination”); provided, that Landlord’s Final Determination may not be greater than Landlord’s Initial Determination, and Tenant’s Final Determination may not be lower than Tenant’s Initial Determination.  If either party shall fail so to submit a Final Determination, 
- 68 -

then Landlord’s Initial Determination or Tenant’s Initial Determination, as applicable, shall constitute such party’s Final Determination.
(iii)    There shall be no discovery in the arbitration.  However, on reasonable notice to the other party, Tenant may inspect any portion of the Building relevant to its claims, and Landlord may inspect any portion of the space occupied by Tenant on the floors in issue.  Thirty days prior to the scheduled hearing, the parties shall exchange opening written expert reports and opening written pre-hearing statements.  Opening written pre-hearing statements shall not exceed 20 pages in length.  Two weeks prior to the hearing, the parties may exchange rebuttal written expert reports and rebuttal written pre-hearing statements.  Rebuttal written pre-hearing statements shall not exceed 10 pages in length.  Ten days prior to the hearing, the parties shall exchange written witness lists, including a brief statement as to the subject matter to be covered in the witnesses’ testimony.  One week prior to the hearing, the parties shall exchange all documents that they intend to offer at the hearing.  Other than rebuttal witnesses, only the witnesses listed on the witness lists shall be allowed to testify at the hearings.  Closing arguments shall be heard immediately following conclusion of all testimony.  The proceedings shall be recorded by stenographic means.  Each party may present live witnesses and offer exhibits, and all witnesses shall be subject to cross-examination.  The arbitrators shall conduct the two day hearing so as to provide each party with sufficient time to present its case, both on direct and on rebuttal, and permit each party appropriate time for cross examination; provided, that the arbitrators shall not extend the hearing beyond two days.  Each party may, during its direct case, present evidence in support of its position and in opposition to the position of the opposing party.
(iv)    The third arbitrator shall make a determination of the Fair Market Rent by selecting either the amount set forth in Landlord’s Final Determination or the amount set forth in Tenant’s Final Determination, whichever the third arbitrator determines is closest to Fair Market Rent for the Premises.  The third arbitrator may not select any other amount as the Fair Market Rent.  The fees and expenses of any arbitration pursuant to this Section 9.02(d) shall be borne by the parties equally, but each party shall bear the expense of its own arbitrator, attorneys and experts and the additional expenses of presenting its own proof.  The arbitrators shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of this Lease.  Each arbitrator shall be either a licensed real estate broker or an appraiser who is an MAI Designated member of the Appraisal Institute, in each case having at least 15 years of experience in leasing or appraising first class office buildings in Manhattan.  After a determination has been made of the Fair Market Rent, the parties shall execute and deliver an instrument setting forth the Fair Market Rent, but the failure to so execute and deliver any such instrument shall not effect the determination of Fair Market Rent.
(e)    If Tenant disputes Landlord’s Initial Determination and if the final determination of Fair Market Rent shall not be made on or before the first day of the Renewal Term, then, pending such final determination, Tenant shall pay, as Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term, an amount equal to Landlord’s Final Determination.  If, based upon the final determination of the Fair Market Rent, the Fixed Rent payments made by Tenant for such portion of the Renewal 
- 69 -

Term were greater than the Fair Market Rent payable for the Renewal Term, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against future installments of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent payable by Tenant.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, if Tenant enters into a lease to relocate Tenant’s operations at the Building to another location prior to the date which is 15 months before the last day of the initial Term, the Renewal Option shall immediately become null and void and of no further force or effect.

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Lease, dated as of June 5, 2019 (the “Lease”), between Landlord and Tenant, Tenant is leasing from Landlord the entire rentable area of the 27th, 29th and 30th floors, and a portion of the 31st floor (the “Premises”) of the building known as 55 Water Street, New York, New York (the “Building”), as is more particularly described in the Lease; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1.    Defined Terms.  All capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.
2.    Rent Deferral.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, Tenant shall not be required to pay Fixed Rent in respect of the 27th Floor, equal to $3,427,047.00 per annum ($285,587.25 per month), that would otherwise be due and payable by Tenant in accordance with the Lease during the period (the “Deferral Period”) commencing on October 1, 2020, and ending on September 30, 2023 (the aggregate Rent that Tenant is not required to pay during the Deferral Period is called the “Deferred Rent”).  Except for the Deferred Rent, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord 100% of the Fixed Rent for the 29th, 30th and 31st floors (for the 31st Floor or portion thereof, if and when due pursuant to the Lease), and 100% of the Operating Payments, Tax Payments and all other Additional Rent due and payable for the Premises in accordance with the Lease during the Deferral Period (the “Deferral Period Rent”).  Tenant hereby (i) acknowledges that Landlord’s deferral of the Deferred Rent in accordance with this Section 2(a) is in full satisfaction of any and all claims that Tenant might otherwise have under the Lease, at law or in equity, to any reduction, offset or abatement of Rent under the Lease with respect to the periods prior to the date of this Amendment (“Rent Abatement Claims”), (ii) fully releases Landlord from any Rent Abatement Claims and (iii) waives the right to assert any Rent Abatement Claims against Landlord.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2(a), if at any time during the Deferral Period, (i) Tenant shall be in default under the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, (ii) the Lease shall be terminated for any reason or (iii) Tenant shall fail timely to pay to Landlord any installment of Deferral Period Rent in strict accordance with the provisions of the Lease, beyond any applicable notice and cure period for the payment of Rent, then, in each such case, without limiting any other rights or remedies that may 

be available to Landlord on account thereof, (A) the Deferral Period shall immediately terminate as of the date of such default or termination without any further notice to Tenant, (B) Section 2(a) and Section 3 of this Amendment shall automatically be deemed to be null and void and deleted from this Amendment and (C) all Deferred Rent, whether applicable to periods before or after the termination of the Deferral Period, shall immediately become due and payable by Tenant to Landlord.
(c)    Nothing contained in this Section 2 shall be construed to relieve Tenant from Tenant’s obligation timely to pay all Deferral Period Rent payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease, including, without limitation, Fixed Rent other than the Deferred Rent, all charges for electricity and other utilities and services furnished to Tenant pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease.
3.    Repayment of Deferred Rent.
(a)    Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) above and Section 3(b) below, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Fixed Rent, in addition to all other Fixed Rent due and payable under the Lease, the Deferred Rent (the “Repayment Amount”) in 48 equal monthly installments of $273,071.65 each, which shall be due and payable on or before the first day of each month during the period (the “Repayment Period”) commencing October 1, 2023, to and including September 30, 2027.  
(b)    Subject to any applicable notice and cure period for the payment of Rent, time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s obligations under this Section 3.
4.    Security Deposit.  Section 2.07(c) of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety.  Provided that on September 1, 2028, (i) no Event of Default has occurred which remains uncured, (ii) Landlord has not theretofore drawn on the Letter of Credit by reason of any Event of Default and (iii) Tenant has paid to Landlord the Repayment Amount in full, Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit to 5 months of the Fixed Rent then payable for the Premises (the “Reduction Amount”).  In no event shall Tenant reduce the amount of the letter of credit to less than the Reduction Amount.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amendment, or replacement, to the Letter of Credit (the form and substance of such amendment to be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord), reducing the amount of the Letter of Credit to the Reduction Amount, and Landlord shall execute the amendment and/or such other documents, if any, as are reasonably necessary to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof.  To the extent Landlord’s cooperation is necessary, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Tenant to cause an Issuing Bank to issue an amendment, or replacement, to the Letter of Credit then in place to reduce the amount thereof to the Reduction Amount.
5.    Extension of Term.  (a)  The term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period of 2 years (the “Extension Term”) commencing on July 1, 2032 (the “Extension Term Commencement Date”), and expiring on June 30, 2034, which date shall be deemed the Expiration Date for all purposes under the Lease, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease or pursuant to law.
(b)    Tenant’s leasing of the Premises (including the Additional Premises) during 
2

the Extension Term shall be on all of the terms and conditions of the Lease (as amended hereby), except that, from and after the Extension Term Commencement Date:
(i)    Fixed Rent shall be payable at the times and in the manner set forth in the Lease, at an annual rate of $15,683,200.00 per annum ($58.00 per rentable square foot), payable in equally monthly installments of $1,306,933.33. 
(ii)    For purposes of clarification, Tenant shall continue to pay all Additional Rent in accordance with the terms of the Lease, including, without limitation, payments in respect of electricity, Tax Payments (calculated using the Base Tax Year set forth in the Lease) and Operating Payments (calculated using the Base Operating Year set forth in the Lease).
(iii)    Landlord shall not be required to perform any work, to pay any amount, to install any fixtures or equipment or to render any services to make the Building or the Premises ready or suitable for Tenant’s use or occupancy (other than ongoing maintenance and repair obligations set forth in the Lease) or to provide any abatement of Fixed Annual Rent or Additional Rent, and Tenant shall accept the Premises in its “as is” condition on the Extension Term Commencement Date.
6.    Representations by Tenant.  Tenant represents to Landlord that (a) no default exists on the part of Landlord under the Lease; (b) Tenant has no knowledge of the existence of any condition which constitutes a default under the Lease or which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default under the Lease; (c) Tenant knows of no defense or counterclaim to the enforcement of the Lease or this Amendment, and Tenant is not entitled to any Rent Abatement Claims; and (d) Tenant has the full power and authority to enter into this Amendment and perform all of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Tenant hereunder, and no consents or authorizations that have not heretofore been fully obtained are required in connection therewith.  
7.    Brokers.  Each party represents to the other that such party has dealt with no broker in connection with this Amendment other than CBRE, Inc. representing Landlord (“Broker”), and each party shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of any claim for a commission or other compensation by any broker (other than Broker in the case of Landlord’s indemnity of Tenant) who alleges that it has dealt with the indemnifying party in connection with this Amendment.  The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Lease.
8.    Confidentiality.  Tenant shall keep the provisions of this Amendment, and all negotiations with respect hereto, confidential.  Without the prior written consent of Landlord, neither Tenant, nor any of its partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, employees, agents or representatives, shall disclose, divulge, communicate or otherwise reveal to any person or entity, the provisions of this Amendment, and all negotiations with respect hereto, except to attorneys, accountants or other professional consultants or advisors of Tenant or to prospective assignees or subtenants, or to the extent legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose such provisions.

9.    No Representations.  Tenant hereby expressly acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made or is making, and Tenant, in executing and delivering this Amendment, was not and is not relying upon, any claims, inducements, warranties, representations, promises or statements (including, without limitation, any warranties, representations, promises or statements with respect to the Premises and/or the Building or the number, nature, identity, use or any other characteristics of the other tenants of the Building), except to the extent that the same are expressly set forth in the Lease or this Amendment and no rights, easements or licenses are or shall be acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise unless expressly set forth in this Amendment.
10.    No Waiver.  Landlord has not waived, and by this Amendment is not waiving, any default which may be continuing on the date hereof or any default which may occur after the date hereof; it being agreed that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit any rights or remedies that may be available to Landlord under the Lease or at law or in equity on account of any default.
11.    No Other Changes.  Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, the Lease shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, and the Lease as modified herein is ratified and confirmed.  All references in the Lease to “this Lease” shall hereafter be deemed to refer to the Lease as amended by this Amendment.
12.    Miscellaneous.  This Amendment contains the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and all prior negotiations, understandings or agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof are merged herein.  This Amendment may be executed in counterparts each of which shall be an original and all of which counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  An executed counterpart delivered by “.pdf”, facsimile or email shall be binding upon the parties.
