Pursuant to the Amended Lease, the Company will lease approximately 10,500 square feet of office space at 400 Madison Avenue, New York, New York from the Landlord, consisting of approximately 3,865 square feet of office space that had comprised the existing premises under the Original Lease (the “Existing Premises”) and an additional 6,635 square feet of office space that comprises the expansion premises under the Amendment (the “Expansion Premises”).

The term of the Original Lease had been set to expire on October 31, 2020. Pursuant to the Amendment, the term will be extended for an additional period to commence on November 1, 2020 and to expire seven years from the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date, as defined in the Amendment.

The base rent for the Expansion Premises under the Amended Lease, including electricity charges, will be $43,956.88 per month ($6.63 per square foot) for approximately the first year and will escalate thereafter as described in the Amendment. The base rent for the Existing Premises under the Amended Lease, including electricity charges, will be $25,605.63 per month ($6.63 per square foot) for the period from November 1, 2020 until the rent for the Expansion Premises first escalates and will escalate thereafter as described in the Amendment.

The foregoing descriptions of certain terms of the Original Lease, the Amendment and the Amended Lease do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Lease and the Amendment, which are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Fire and

Other

Casualty:

 

9. (a) If the demised premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate notice thereof to Owner, and this lease shall continue in full force and effect

except as hereinafter set forth. (b) If the demised premises are partially damaged or rendered partially unusable by fire or other casualty, the damages thereto shall be repaired by, and at the expense of, Owner, and the rent and other items of additional rent, until such repair shall be substantially completed, shall be apportioned from the day following the casualty, according to the part of the demised premises which is usable. (c) If the demised premises are totally damaged or rendered wholly unusable by fire or other casualty, then the rent and other items of additional rent, as hereinafter expressly provided, shall be proportionately paid up to the time of the casualty, and thenceforth shall cease until the date when the demised premises shall have been repaired and restored by Owner (or if sooner reoccupied in part by the Tenant then rent shall be apportioned as provided in subsection (b) above), subject to Owner’s right to elect not to restore the same as hereinafter provided. (d) If the demised premises are rendered wholly unusable or (whether or not the demised premises are damaged in whole or in part) if the building shall be so damaged that Owner shall decide to demolish it or to rebuild it, then, in any of such events, Owner may elect to terminate this lease by written notice to Tenant, given within ninety (90) days after such fire or casualty, or thirty (30) days after adjustment of the insurance claim for such fire or casualty, whichever is sooner, specifying a date for the expiration of the lease, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date specified in such

 

 

notice the term of this lease shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date set forth above for the termination of this lease, and Tenant shall forthwith quit, surrender and vacate the demised premises without prejudice however, to Landlord’s rights and remedies against Tenant under the lease provisions in effect prior to such termination, and any rent owing shall be paid up to such date, and any payments of rent made by Tenant which were on account of any period subsequent to such date shall be returned to Tenant. Unless Owner shall serve a termination notice as provided for herein, Owner shall make the repairs and restorations under the conditions of (b) and (c) hereof, with all reasonable expedition, subject to delays due to adjustment of insurance claims, labor troubles and causes beyond Owner’s control. After any such casualty, Tenant shall cooperate with Owner’s restoration by removing from the demised premises as promptly as reasonably possible, all of Tenant’s salvageable inventory and movable equipment, furniture, and other property. Tenant’s liability for rent shall resume five (5) days after written notice from Owner that the demised premises are substantially ready for Tenant’s occupancy. (e) Nothing contained hereinabove shall relieve Tenant from liability that may exist as a result of damage from fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in subdivisions (a) through (e) hereof, including Owner’s obligation to restore under subparagraph (b) above, each party shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any claim against the other party for recovery for loss or damage resulting from fire or other casualty, and to the extent that such insurance is in force and collectible, and to the extent permitted by law, Owner and Tenant each hereby releases and waives all right of recovery with respect to subparagraphs (b), (d), and (e) above, against the other, or any one claiming through or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The release and waiver herein referred to shall be deemed to include any loss or damage to the demised premises and/or to any personal property, equipment, trade fixtures, goods and merchandise located therein. The foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both releasors’ insurance policies contain a clause providing that such a release or waiver shall not invalidate the insurance. If, and to the extent, that such waiver can be obtained only by the payment of additional premiums, then the party benefiting from the waiver shall pay such premium within ten days after written demand or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party obtaining insurance coverage shall be free of any further obligation under the provisions hereof with respect to waiver of subrogation. Tenant acknowledges that Owner will not carry insurance on Tenant’s furniture and/or furnishings or any fixtures or equipment, improvements, or appurtenances removable by Tenant, and agrees that Owner will not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. (f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of section 227 of the Real Property Law and agrees that the provisions of this article shall govern and control in lieu thereof.

Domain:

 

10. If the whole or any part of the demised premises shall be acquired or condemned by Eminent

Domain for any public or quasi public use or purpose, then, and in that event, the term of this lease shall cease and terminate from the date of title vesting in such proceeding, and Tenant shall have no claim for the value of any unexpired term of said lease, and assigns to Owner, Tenant’s entire interest in any such award. Tenant shall have the right to make an independent claim to the condemning authority for the value of Tenant’s moving expenses and personal property, trade fixtures and equipment, provided Tenant is entitled pursuant to the terms of the lease to remove such property, trade fixtures and equipment at the end of the term, and provided further such claim does not reduce Owner’s award.

 

Assignment,

Mortgage,

Etc.:

 

11. Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly covenants that

it shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this agreement, nor underlet, or suffer or permit the demised premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Owner in each instance. Transfer of the majority of the stock of a corporate Tenant or the majority interest in any partnership or other legal entity which is Tenant shall be deemed an assignment. If this lease be assigned, or if the demised premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Owner may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Owner to an assignment or underletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Owner to any further assignment or underletting.

 

Electric

Current:

12. Rates and conditions in respect to submetering or rent inclusion, as the case may be, to be added in RIDER attached hereto. Tenant covenants and

agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall not exceed the capacity of existing feeders to the building or the risers or wiring installation, and Tenant may not use any electrical equipment which, in Owner’s opinion, reasonably exercised, will overload such installations or interfere with the use thereof by other tenants of the building. The change at any time of the character of electric service shall in no way make Owner liable or responsible to Tenant, for any loss, damages or expenses which Tenant may sustain.

 

Access to

Premises:

 

13. Owner or Owner’s agents shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to enter the demised

premises in any emergency at any time, and, at other reasonable times, to examine the same and to make such repairs, replacements and improvements as Owner may deem necessary and reasonably desirable to the demised premises or to any other portion of the building or which Owner may elect to perform. Tenant shall permit Owner to use and maintain and replace pipes, ducts, and conduits in and through the demised premises and to erect new pipes, ducts, and conduits therein, provided they are concealed within the walls, floor, or ceiling. Owner may, during the progress of any work in the demised premises, take all necessary materials and equipment into said premises without the same constituting an eviction, nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any abatement of rent while such work is in progress, nor to any damages by reason of loss or interruption of business or otherwise. Throughout the term hereof, Owner shall have the right to enter the demised premises at reasonable hours for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers or mortgagees

If Tenant is not present to open and permit an entry into the demised premises, Owner or Owner’s agents may enter the same whenever such entry may be necessary or permissible by master key or forcibly, and provided reasonable care is exercised to safeguard Tenant’s property, such entry shall not render Owner or its agents liable therefore, nor in any event shall the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected. If during the last month of the term Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of Tenant’s property therefrom, Owner may immediately enter, alter, renovate or redecorate the demised premises without limitation or abatement of rent, or incurring liability to Tenant for any compensation, and such act shall have no effect on this lease or Tenant’s obligations hereunder. Subject to the provisions of this lease, Owner agrees that, in connection with any access or activities by Owner pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13, Owner provide reasonable prior notice to Tenant of any such access (which may be made orally), except in an emergency, with Tenant having the opportunity to have a representative of Tenant present and Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with (i) the use by Tenant and its employees of the Demised Premises for the used permitted under this lease and (ii) ingress to and egress from the Demised Premises by Tenant, its employees and invitees; provided, however, that Owner shall not be obligated to perform work on an overtime or premium basis. Upon completion of any activities by Owner in the Demised Premises, Owner shall remove its tools and materials and debris from any affected areas and leave such areas broom clean and with any damage to the Demised Premises or Tenant’s property repaired, to the extent occasioned by Owner’s performance of any such activities.

 

Vault,

Vault Space,

Area:

 

14. No vaults, vault space or area, whether or not enclosed or covered, not within the property line of the building, is leased hereunder, anything

contained in or indicated on any sketch, blue print or plan, or anything contained elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding. Owner makes no representation as to the location of the property line of the building. All vaults and vault space and all such areas not within the property line of the building, which Tenant may be permitted to use and/or occupy, is to be used and/or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license be revoked, or if the amount of such space or area be diminished or required by any federal, state or municipal authority or public utility, Owner shall not be subject to any liability, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent, nor shall such revocation, diminution or requisition be deemed constructive or actual eviction. Any tax, fee or charge of municipal authorities for such vault or area shall be paid by Tenant.

 

Occupancy:  

15. Tenant will not at any time use or occupy the

demised premises in violation of the certificate of occupancy issued for the building of which the demised premises are a part. Tenant has inspected the demised premises and accepts them as is, subject to the riders annexed hereto with respect to Owner’s work, if any. In any event, Owner makes no representation as to the condition of the demised premises, and Tenant agrees to accept the same subject to violations, whether or not of record.

 

Bankruptcy:  

16. (a) Anything elsewhere in this lease to the

contrary notwithstanding, this lease may be cancelled by Owner by the sending of a written notice to Tenant within a reasonable time after the happening of any one or more of the following events: (1) the commencement of a case in bankruptcy or under the laws of any state naming Tenant (or a guarantor of any of Tenant’s obligations under this lease) as the debtor; or (2) the making by Tenant (or a guarantor of any of Tenant’s obligations under this lease) of an assignment or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors under any state statute. Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant, or by reason of any statute or order of court, shall thereafter be entitled to possession of the premises demised but shall forthwith quit and surrender the demised premises. If this lease shall be assigned in accordance with its terms, the provisions of this Article 16 shall be applicable only to the party then owning Tenant’s interest in this lease.

(b) It is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of this lease pursuant to (a) hereof, Owner shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other provisions of this lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as and for liquidated damages, an amount equal to the difference between the rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the term demised and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the same period. In the computation of such damages the difference between any installment of rent becoming due hereunder after the date of termination, and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the period for which such installment was payable, shall be discounted to the date of termination at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum. If such demised premises or any part thereof be re-let by the Owner for the unexpired term of said lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such re-letting shall be deemed to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the demised premises so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of the Owner to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages, by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than, the amount of the difference referred to above.

 

Default:  

17. (1) If Tenant defaults in fulfilling any of the

covenants of this lease other than the covenants for the payment of rent or additional rent; or if the demised premises become vacant or deserted; or if any execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any of Tenant’s property, whereupon the demised premises shall be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant; or if this lease be rejected under §365 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (Bankruptcy Code); or if Tenant shall have failed, after five (5) days written notice, to redeposit with Owner any portion of the security deposit hereunder which Owner has applied to the payment of any rent and additional rent due and payable hereunder; or if Tenant shall be in default with respect to any other lease between Owner and Tenant; or if Tenant shall fail to move into or take possession of the demised premises within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the term of this lease, then, in any one or more of such events, upon Owner serving a written fifteen (15) days notice upon Tenant specifying the nature of said default, and upon the expiration of said fifteen (15) days, if Tenant shall have failed to comply with or remedy such default, or if the said default or omission complained of shall be of a nature that the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within said fifteen (15) day period, and if Tenant shall not have diligently commenced curing such default within such fifteen (15) day period, and shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and in good faith, proceed to remedy or cure such default, then Owner may serve a written five (5) days notice of cancellation of this lease upon Tenant, and upon the expiration of said five (5) days this lease and the term thereunder shall end and expire as fully and completely as if the expiration of such five (5) day period were the day herein definitely fixed for the end and expiration of this lease and the term thereof, and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the demised premises to Owner, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

(2) If the notice provided for in (1) hereof shall have been given, and the term shall expire as aforesaid; or if Tenant shall make default in the payment of the rent reserved herein, or any item of additional rent herein mentioned, or any part of either, or in making any other payment herein required; then, and in any of such events, Owner may without notice, re-enter the demised premises either by force or otherwise, and dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise, and the legal representative of Tenant or other occupant of the demised premises, and remove their effects and hold the demised premises as if this lease had not been made, and Tenant hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end. If Tenant shall make default hereunder prior to the date fixed as the commencement of any renewal or extension of this lease, Owner may cancel and terminate such renewal or extension agreement by written notice.

 

Remedies of

Owner and

Waiver of

Redemption:

 

18. In case of any such default, re-entry, expiration and/or dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise, (a) the rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such re-entry,

dispossess and/or expiration, (b) Owner may re-let the demised premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Owner or otherwise, for a term or terms, which may at Owner’s option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this lease, and may grant concessions or free rent or charge a higher rental than that in this lease, and/or (c) Tenant or the legal representatives of Tenant shall also pay to Owner as liquidated damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform said Tenant’s covenants herein contained, any deficiency between the rent hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the lease or leases of the demised premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this lease. The failure of Owner to re-let the demised premises, or any part or parts thereof, shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability for damages. In computing such liquidated damages there shall be added to the said deficiency such expenses as Owner may incur in connection with re-letting, such as legal expenses, reasonable attorney’s fees, brokerage, advertising and for keeping the demised premises in good order or for preparing the same for re-letting. Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the rent day specified in this lease, and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Owner to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Owner, in putting the demised premises in good order or preparing the same for re-rental may, at Owner’s option, make such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations in the demised premises as Owner, in Owner’s sole judgment, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the demised premises, and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Owner shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the demised premises, or in the event that the demised premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such re-letting, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess, if any, of such net rents collected over the sums payable by Tenant to Owner hereunder. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Owner shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this lease of any particular remedy, shall not preclude Owner from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Owner obtaining possession of the demised premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this lease, or otherwise.

 

Fees and

Expenses:

 

19. If Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term or covenant on Tenant’s

part to be observed or performed under, or by virtue of, any of the terms or provisions in any article of this lease, after notice, if required, and upon expiration of any applicable grace period, if any, (except in an emergency), then, unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this lease, Owner may immediately, or at any time thereafter and without notice, perform the obligation of Tenant thereunder. If Owner, in connection with the foregoing, or in connection with any default by Tenant in the covenant to pay rent hereunder, makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations for the payment of money, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees, in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, and prevails in any such action or proceeding, then Tenant will reimburse Owner for such sums so paid, or obligations incurred, with interest and costs. The foregoing expenses incurred by reason of Tenant’s default shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder, and shall be paid by Tenant to Owner within ten (10) days of rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefore. If Tenant’s lease term shall have expired at the time of making of such expenditures or incurring of such obligations, such sums shall be recoverable by Owner, as damages.

 

Building

Alterations

and

Management:

 

20. Owner shall have the right at any time without the same constituting an eviction and without incurring liability to Tenant therefore, to change the arrangement and/or location of public entrances,

passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the building, and to change the name, number or designation by which the building may be known. There shall be no allowance to Tenant for diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Owner by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner or other Tenants making any repairs in the building or any such alterations, additions and improvements. Furthermore, Tenant shall not have any claim against Owner by reason of Owner’s imposition of such controls of the manner of access to the building by Tenant’s social or business visitors as the Owner may deem necessary for the security of the building and its occupants. Subject to the provisions of this lease, Owner agrees that, in connection with any access or activities by Owner pursuant to the provisions of this Article 20, Owner provide reasonable prior notice to Tenant of any such access (which may be made orally), except in an emergency, with Tenant having the opportunity to have a representative of Tenant present and Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with (i) the use by Tenant and its employees of the Demised Premises for the used permitted under this lease and (ii) ingress to and egress from the Demised Premises by Tenant, its employees and invitees; provided, however, that Owner shall not be obligated to perform work on an overtime or premium basis. Upon completion of any activities by Owner in the Demised Premises, Owner shall remove its tools and materials and debris from any affected areas and leave such areas broom clean and with any damage to the Demised Premises or Tenant’s property repaired, to the extent occasioned by Owner’s performance of any such activities.

 

No Repre-

sentations

Owner:

 

21. Neither Owner nor Owner’s agents have made any representations or promises with respect to the physical condition of the building, the land

upon which it is erected or the demised premises, the rents, leases, expenses of operation or any other matter or

 


thing affecting or related to the demised premises, except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in the provisions of this lease. Tenant has inspected the building and the demised premises and is thoroughly acquainted with their condition and agrees to take the same “as-is”, and acknowledges that the taking of possession of the demised premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the said premises and the building of which the same form a part were in good and satisfactory condition at the time such possession was so taken, except as to latent defects. All understandings and agreements heretofore made between the parties hereto are merged in this contract, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement between Owner and Tenant, and any executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of it in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is sought.

 

End of

Term:

 

22. Upon the expiration or other termination of the term of this lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender

to Owner the demised premises, “broom-clean”, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and damages which Tenant is not required to repair as provided elsewhere in this lease excepted, and Tenant shall remove all its property. Tenant’s obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of this lease. If the last day of the term of this lease or any renewal thereof, falls on Sunday, this lease shall expire at noon on the preceding Saturday, unless it be a legal holiday, in which case it shall expire at noon on the preceding business day.

 

Quiet

Enjoyment:

 

23. Owner covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the rent and additional rent

and observing and performing all the terms, covenants and conditions, on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the premises hereby demised, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and conditions of this lease including, but not limited to, Article 31 hereof, and to the ground leases, underlying leases and mortgages hereinbefore mentioned.

 

Failure to

Give

Possession:

 

24. If Owner is unable to give possession of the demised premises on the date of the commencement of the term hereof because of the

holding-over or retention of possession of any tenant, undertenant or occupants, or if the demised premises are located in a building being constructed, because such building has not been sufficiently completed to make the demised premises ready for occupancy, or because of the fact that a certificate of occupancy has not been procured, or for any other reason, Owner shall not be subject to any liability for failure to give possession on said date and the validity of the lease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the same be construed in any way to extend the term of this lease, but the rent payable hereunder shall be abated (provided Tenant is not responsible for Owner’s inability to obtain possession or complete construction) until after Owner shall have given Tenant written notice that the Owner is able to deliver possession in condition required by this lease. If permission is given to Tenant to enter into possession of the demises premises, or to occupy premises other than the demised premises, prior to the date specified as the commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that such possession and/or occupancy shall be deemed to be under all the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this lease, except the obligation to pay the fixed annual rent set forth in the preamble to this lease. The provisions of this article are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.

 

No Waiver:  

25. The failure of Owner or Tenant to seek

redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this lease or of any of the Rules or Regulations, set forth or hereafter adopted by Owner, shall not prevent a subsequent act which would have originally constituted a violation from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Owner, or the tender by Tenant, of rent and/or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no provision of this lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Owner or Tenant, as the case may be, unless such waiver be in writing signed by Owner or Tenant, as the case may be, No payment by Tenant or receipt by Owner of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Owner may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Owner’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this lease provided. No act or thing done by Owner or Owner’s agents during the term hereby demised shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the demised premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing signed by Owner. No employee of Owner or Owner’s agent shall have any power to accept the keys of said premises prior to the termination of the lease, and the delivery of keys to any such agent or employee shall not operate as a termination of the lease or a surrender of the demised premises.

 

Waiver of

Trial by Jury:

 

26. It is mutually agreed by and between Owner and Tenant that the respective parties hereto shall,

and they hereby do, waive trial by jury in any action proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other (except for personal injury or property damage) on any matters whatsoever arising out of, or in any way connected with, this lease, the relationship of Owner and Tenant, Tenant’s use of, or occupancy of, the demised premises, and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy. It is further mutually agreed that in the event Owner commences any proceeding or action for possession, including a summary proceeding for possession of the demised premises, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding, including a counterclaim under Article 4, except for statutory mandatory counterclaims.

 

Inability to

Perform:

 

27. This lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay rent hereunder and perform all of the other

covenants and agreements hereunder on part of Tenant to be performed shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Owner is unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this lease, or

 

 

to supply, or is delayed in supplying, any service expressly or impliedly to be supplied, or is unable to make, or is delayed in making, any repair, additions, alterations, or decorations, or is unable to supply, or is delayed in supplying, any equipment, fixtures, or other materials, if Owner is prevented or delayed from so doing by reason of strike or labor troubles or any cause whatsoever including, but not limited to, government preemption or restrictions, or by reason of any rule, order or regulation of any department or subdivision thereof of any government agency, or by reason of the conditions which have been or are affected, either directly or indirectly, by war or other emergency.

 

Bills and

Notices:

 

28. Except as otherwise in this lease provided, any notice, statement, demand or other communication

required or permitted to be given, rendered or made by either party to the other, pursuant to this lease or pursuant to any applicable law or requirement of public authority, shall be in writing (whether or not so stated elsewhere in this lease) and shall be deemed to have been properly given, rendered or made, if sent by registered or certified mail (express mail, if available), return receipt requested, or by courier guaranteeing overnight delivery and furnishing a receipt in evidence thereof, addressed to the other party at the address hereinabove set forth (except that after the date specified as the commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant’s address, unless Tenant shall give notice to the contrary, shall be the building), and shall be deemed to have been given, rendered or made (a) on the date delivered, if delivered to Tenant personally, (b) on the date delivered, if delivered by overnight courier or (c) on the date which is two (2) days after being mailed. Either party may, by notice as aforesaid, designate a different address or addresses for notices, statements, demand or other communications intended for it. Notices given by Owner’s managing agent shall be deemed a valid notice if addressed and set in accordance with the provisions of this Article. At Owner’s option, notices and bills to Tenant may be sent by hand delivery.

Owner:

 

29. As long as Tenant is not in default under any of the covenants of this lease beyond the applicable grace period provided in this lease for the

curing of such defaults, Owner shall provide: (a) necessary elevator facilities on business days from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and have one elevator subject to call at all other times; (b) heat to the demised premises when and as required by law, on business days from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.; (c) water for ordinary lavatory purposes, but if Tenant uses or consumes water for any other purposes or in unusual quantities (of which fact Owner shall be the sole judge), Owner may install a water meter at Tenant’s expense, which Tenant shall thereafter maintain at Tenant’s expense in good working order and repair, to register such water consumption, and Tenant shall pay for water consumed as shown on said meter as additional rent as and when bills are rendered; (d) cleaning service for the demised premises on business days at Owner’s expense provided that the same are kept in order by Tenant. If, however, said premises are to be kept clean by Tenant, it shall be done at Tenant’s sole expense, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Owner, and no one other than persons approved by Owner shall be permitted to enter said premises or the building of which they are a part for such purpose. Tenant shall pay Owner the cost of removal of any of Tenant’s refuse and rubbish from the building; (e) if the demised premises are serviced by Owner’s air conditioning/cooling and ventilating system, air conditioning/cooling will be furnished to Tenant from * on business days (Mondays through Fridays, holidays excepted) from 8:00 a.m. to ** pm., and ventilation will be furnished on business days during the aforesaid hours except when air conditioning/cooling is being furnished as aforesaid. If Tenant requires air conditioning/cooling or ventilation for more extended hours on Saturdays, Sundays or on holidays, as defined under Owner’s contract with the applicable Operating Engineers contract, Owner will LOGO furnish the same at Tenant’s expense. RIDER to be added in respect to rates and conditions for such additional service; (f) Owner reserves the right to stop services of the heating, elevators, plumbing, air-conditioning, electric, power systems or cleaning or other services, if any, when necessary by reason of accident, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements necessary or desirable in the judgment of Owner, for as long as may be reasonably required by reason thereof. If the building of which the demised premises are a part supplies manually operated elevator service, Owner at any time may substitute automatic control elevator service and proceed diligently with alterations necessary therefor without in any way affecting this lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder.

Adjacent

Excavation-

Shoring:

 

32. If an excavation shall be made upon land adjacent to the demised premises, or shall be authorized to be made, Tenant shall afford to the

person causing or authorized to cause such excavation, a license to enter upon the demised premises for the purpose of doing such work as said person shall deem necessary to preserve the wall or the building, of which demised premises form a part, from injury or damage, and to support the same by proper foundations, without any claim for damages or indemnity against Owner, or diminution or abatement of rent.

In case Tenant disputes the reasonableness of any additional Rules or Regulations hereafter made or adopted by Owner or Owner’s agents, the parties hereto agree to submit the question of the reasonableness of such Rules or Regulations for decision to the New York office of the American Arbitration Association, whose determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties hereto. The right to dispute the reasonableness of any additional Rules or Regulations upon Tenant’s part shall be deemed waived unless the same shall be asserted by service of a notice, in writing, upon Owner, within fifteen (15) days after the giving of notice thereof. Nothing in this lease contained shall be construed to impose upon Owner any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease, as against any other tenant, and Owner shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its servants, employees, agents, visitors or licensees. Rules and regulations shall not (i) conflict with Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises as general and executive offices, (ii) increase Tenant’s obligations under this lease other than to a de minimis extent, or (iii) decrease Tenant’s rights or Owner’s obligations under this lease other than to a de minimis extent. Owner agrees not to adopt or enforce any such rules and regulations in a discriminatory manner against Tenant vis-à-vis other office tenants of the Building. In the event of any conflict between any Rules and Regulations (including, without limitation, those attached to this pre-printed form) and the provisions of this lease, the provisions of this lease shall control.

37.     TERM: FIXED RENT.

(a)    (i)     The term of this lease shall commence on the earlier to occur of (1) the Substantial Completion Date (as hereinafter defined) and (2) the date on which Tenant, or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant shall take possession of all or any portion of the Demised Premises for any purpose whatsoever, other than for the purpose of performing Pre possession Activities pursuant to the provisions of Section 37(a)(ii) below (the earlier of such dates, the “Commencement Date”) and shall end at 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), provided that if the Commencement Date is not the first (1st) day of a calendar month, the term of this lease shall end on the last day of the calendar month in which the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date occurs (the “Expiration Date”), or on such earlier date upon which the term of this lease shall expire or be canceled or terminated pursuant to any of the terms, conditions or covenants of this lease or pursuant to law.

(ii)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 37(a)(i) above,

(A) Tenant may have access to the Demised Premises prior to the Substantial Completion Date for the sole purpose of inspecting the Demised Premises, checking on the progress of the Owner’s Initial Work (as hereinafter defined), taking measurements and installing cables and wiring for Tenant’s telephone, computer and data systems (but not the systems themselves, which Tenant may install after the Commencement Date) (collectively, “Pre-possession Activities”) and such access shall not be deemed to trigger the Commencement Date. Pre-possession Activities shall not include installation or storage of (and Tenant shall not install or store) any materials, equipment or furniture in the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date. Doing so shall trigger the Commencement Date and Owner shall have no responsibility or liability for the safekeeping of any such items.

(B)    In connection with all Pre-possession Activities (and as a condition to Owner’s permitting the same):

(1)     Tenant shall comply with all applicable provisions of this lease governing alterations prior to requesting access to the Demised Premises therefor and shall comply with all applicable Building-standard reasonable rules and regulations of Owner in connection with such activities (it being agreed that Owner’s consent shall not be required with respect to Tenant’s performance of Pre-possession Activities, but Tenant shall nevertheless provide Owner with a reasonably detailed description of the work being performed and the schedule therefor);

(2)     Tenant shall not interfere in any respect with the performance of Owner’s Initial Work, it being agreed that, subject to Section 37(a)(ii)(A) above, Owner and Tenant shall coordinate the conduct of the Pre-possession Activities so as to minimize such interference;

(3)     Any delay suffered by Owner in the performance of Owner’s Initial Work by reason of such Pre-possession Activities shall constitute a Tenant’s Delay (as defined in Section 50(c) below) for purposes of this lease;

(4)     Tenant shall make its initial request for access in connection with each Pre-possession Activity constituting a distinct activity (or project) upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior notice given by telephone and email to both Randall Meckel (212-755-3123; rmeckel@macklowe.com) and Kenneth Dillon (212-554-5813; kdillon@macklowe.com), except for the taking of measurements and performing inspections, which request shall be made on reasonable advance notice (which may be made orally); and

 

-1-


(5)    Owner shall have no obligation to provide for the protection or safekeeping of any materials or equipment left or installed in the Demised Premises in connection with any Pre-possession Activities and Owner shall have no liability for damage or theft thereof, except to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Owner or Owner’s members, partners, directors, officers, agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees.

(b)     The rental rate per period payable hereunder (sometimes referred to herein as the “rent”. “Rent”, or “Fixed Rent”) shall be as set forth in Schedule A annexed hereto and made a part hereof. Fixed Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment, in equal monthly installments in advance on the Rent Commencement Date and thereafter on the first day of each month during the term of this lease, at the office of Owner or at such other place in the continental United States (excluding Alaska) as Owner may designate in writing, without any offset, reduction, deduction, defense and/or counterclaim whatsoever; provided, however, that the first monthly installment of rent shall be paid concurrently with the execution and delivery of this lease and such payment shall be applied to the monthly installment of rent due on the Rent Commencement Date. For purposes of this lease, the term “Additional Charges” shall mean all charges, fees and other sums of money (other than Fixed Rent) as shall be due and payable from time to time by Tenant to Owner pursuant to this lease. Fixed Rent and periodic Additional Charges shall be prorated for any partial period on a per diem basis.

(c)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of the Fixed Rent payable for the period (the “Abatement Period”) from and including the Commencement Date to, but not including, the three (3) month anniversary of the Commencement Date (such 3-month anniversary, the “Rent Commencement Date”), provided, however, that during the Abatement Period, Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay the portion of Fixed Rent applicable to electricity charges pursuant to Article 42 below with respect to the Abatement Period, plus any Additional Charges with respect to the Abatement Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this lease shall terminate (or Owner shall re-enter the Demised Premises) during the first two years of the term of this lease due to Tenant’s default hereunder, Tenant shall immediately repay to Owner the amounts abated during the Abatement Period.

(d)     Promptly after the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Owner and Tenant shall confirm the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date, the First Rent Adjustment Date (as defined in Schedule A below) and the Expiration Date by executing an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Owner and Tenant; provided, that, the failure by Owner or Tenant to execute such an instrument shall not affect the determination of such dates pursuant to the provisions of this lease.

38.         TAXES.

(a)         The terms defined below shall for the purposes of this lease have the meanings herein specified:

(i)    “Taxes” shall mean all real estate taxes, sewer rents, water frontage charges and other assessments, special or otherwise, levied, assessed or imposed by the City of New York or any other taxing authority upon or with respect to the Building and the land thereunder (the “Land”) and all taxes assessed or imposed with respect to the rentals payable hereunder, other than general income, gross receipts and excess profits taxes (except that general income, gross receipts and excess profits taxes shall be included if covered by the provisions of the following sentence). Taxes shall also include any taxes, charges or assessments levied, assessed or imposed by any taxing authority in addition to or in lieu of the present method of real estate taxation, provided such additional or substitute taxes, charges and assessments are computed as if the Building were the sole property of Owner subject to said additional or substitute tax, charge or assessment. With respect to any Tax Year, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal, experts’ and other witnesses’ fees, incurred in contesting the validity or amount of any Taxes or in obtaining a refund of Taxes, shall be considered as part of the Taxes for such Tax Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Taxes shall not include personal property taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital or stock taxes, succession or inheritance taxes or estate taxes. Tenant hereby waives any right to institute or join in tax certiorari proceedings or other similar proceedings contesting the amount or validity of any Taxes.

 

-2-


(ii)     “Tax Year” shall mean each period of twelve (12) months, commencing on the first day of July of each such period, in which occurs any part of the term of this lease, or such other period of twelve (12) months occurring during the term of this lease as hereafter may be duly adopted as the fiscal year for real estate tax purposes of the City of New York.

(iii)     “Tax Statement” shall mean an instrument or instruments setting forth Tenant’s Tax Payment (as hereinafter defined). Each Tax Statement shall be accompanied by a copy of the tax bills (or other evidence of the Taxes) upon which Tenant’s Tax Payment has been calculated. Upon request of Tenant, the first Tax Statement delivered to Tenant, shall include the tax bills for the Tax Years included in the definition of Base Taxes (as hereinafter defined) or other evidence of the calculation of the Base Taxes.

(iv)     “Tenant’s Percentage” shall mean 2.113%.

(v)     “Base Taxes” shall mean the average of (1) the Taxes payable for the Tax Year commencing July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016 and (2) the Taxes payable for the Tax Year commencing July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017.

(b)     If the Taxes payable for any Tax Year shall exceed the Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Owner, as Additional Charges for such Tax Year, an amount (herein called the “Tax Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Percentage of the amount by which the Taxes payable by Owner for such Tax Year are greater than the Base Taxes.

(c)     The Tax Payment for each Tax Year shall be due and payable in installments in the same manner that Taxes for such Tax Year are due and payable by Owner to the City of New York, except that Tenant shall pay each installment of the Tax Payment to Owner within thirty (30) days after Owner delivers the applicable Tax Statement to Tenant Owner’s failure to render a Tax Statement with respect to any Tax Year shall not prejudice Owner’s right thereafter to render a Tax Statement with respect to any such Tax Year nor shall the rendering of a Tax Statement prejudice Owner’s right thereafter to render a corrected Tax Statement for that Tax Year.

(d)     In the event Taxes for any Tax Year or part thereof shall be reduced after Tenant shall have paid Tenant’s Tax Payment in respect of such Tax Year which reduction results in an overpayment by Tenant in respect of such Tax Payment, Owner shall set forth in the first Tax Statement thereafter submitted to Tenant the amount of such overpayment and, provided that Tenant is not then in default in the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Charges and is not in default of any other provision of this lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of such overpayment against the installment or installments of Tenant’s Tax Payment next falling due equal to Tenant’s Percentage of such refund, but in no event shall the credit exceed the amount of the Additional Charges paid by Tenant with respect to Taxes for said Tax Year, or if the term of this lease has ended, Owner shall refund such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Owner receives the benefit of such tax reduction. If the Taxes comprising the Base Taxes are reduced as a result of an appropriate proceeding or otherwise, the Taxes as so reduced shall for all purposes be deemed to be Taxes for the Base Taxes, and Owner shall give notice to Tenant of the amount by which the Tax Payments previously made were less than the Tax Payments required to be made under this Article 38, and Tenant shall pay the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor accompanied by a calculation of the adjustment for each Tax Year affected.

(e)     The expiration or termination of this lease during any Tax Year for any part or all of which there is a Tax Payment or refund due under this Article 38 shall not affect the rights or obligations of the parties hereto respecting such Tax Payment or refund and any Tax Statement relating to such Tax Payment shall, on a pro-rata basis, be sent to Tenant subsequent to, and all such rights and obligations shall survive, any such expiration or termination. Any such payment shall be (i) calculated based on a year of 365 days and paid based on the actual number of days elapsed and (ii) shall be payable within thirty (30) days after such Tax Statement is sent to Tenant.

39.     ATTORNMENT AND NOTICE TO OWNER.

Supplementing the provisions of Article 7 of this lease:

(a)     This lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases, overriding leases and underlying leases of the Land and/or the Building and/or that portion of the Building of which the Demised Premises are a part, now or hereafter existing and to all mortgages and assignments of leases and rents (each such mortgage or assignment is hereinafter referred to as a “mortgage”) which may now or hereafter affect the Land and/or the Building and/or that portion of the Building of which the Demised Premises are a part and/or any of such leases, whether or not such mortgages shall also cover other lands and/or buildings and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and spreaders and consolidations of such mortgages. This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after written request from Owner, execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Owner, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or any of their respective successors-in-interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. Any lease to which this lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Lease” and the lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest, at the time referred to, is herein called “Superior Lessor”; and any mortgage to which this lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called “Superior Mortgage” and the holder of a Superior Mortgage is herein called “Superior Mortgagee”.

(b)     If any act or omission of Owner would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this lease, or to abate or offset against the payment of rent or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right until (i) it has given written notice of such act or omission to Owner and each Superior Mortgagee and each Superior Lessor whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant and (ii) a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice (which reasonable period shall be the period to which Owner would be entitled under this lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy plus sixty (60) days). Owner represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this lease, (i) the holder of the only Superior Mortgage encumbering the Land and Building is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 10 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603 and (ii) there is no Superior Lease. The provisions of this Section 39(b) shall not apply to Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Article 9 (as supplemented by Section 46(cc)), provided that Tenant notifies Lender at least sixty days prior to the termination date that Tenant intends to exercise such right.

(c)     If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee, or any designee of any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee, shall succeed to the rights of Owner under this lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of such party so succeeding to Owner’s rights (herein called “Successor Owner”), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Owner as Owner under this lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Owner may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment this lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Owner and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this lease, except that the Successor Owner shall not be:

(i)     liable for any previous act or omission of Owner (or its predecessors in interest);

(ii)     responsible for any moneys owing by Owner to the credit of Tenant;

(iii)     subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses which Tenant may have against Owner (or its predecessors in interest);

(iv)     bound by any payments of rent which Tenant might have made for more than one (1) month in advance to Owner (or its predecessors in interest);

(v)     bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof;

(vi)     required to account for any security deposit other than any security deposit actually delivered to the Successor Owner;

 

-4-


(vii)     bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant or grant or be subject to any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance, and restoration provided for under this lease to be performed after the date of attornment and which Owners of like properties ordinarily perform at the owner’s expense, it being expressly understood, however, that the Successor Owner shall not be bound by an obligation to make payment to Tenant with respect to construction performed by or on behalf of Tenant at the Demised Premises;

(viii)     bound by any modification of this lease made without the written consent of the Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor, as the case may be; or

(ix)     required to remove any person occupying the Demised Premises or any part thereof.

(d)     If a Superior Mortgagee or prospective superior mortgagee shall request modifications to this lease, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer Tenant’s consent thereto, provided that such modifications shall not increase Tenant’s monetary obligations hereunder or increase tenant’s non-monetary obligations hereunder by more than a de minimis amount or adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or impair Tenant’s rights hereunder, in any case by more than a de minimis amount. In no event shall a requirement that the consent of any such Superior Mortgagee or prospective superior mortgagee be given for any modification of this lease or for any assignment or sublease, be deemed to materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created.

40.         ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

(a)    (i)     Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise (A) assign or otherwise transfer this lease or the term and estate hereby granted, or offer or advertise to do so, (B) sublet the Demised Premises or offer or advertise to do so, or allow the same to be used, occupied or utilized by anyone other than Tenant, (C) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise hypothecate this lease or the Demised Premises or any part thereof in a manner whatsoever or (D) permit the Demised Premises or part thereof to be occupied, or used for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise, by any person other than Tenant without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Owner, except as otherwise provided pursuant to the express provisions of this Article 40.

(c)     If this lease be assigned, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this lease, Owner may collect rent from the assignee. If the Demised Premises are sublet or used or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this lease, and thereafter Tenant is in default under this lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Owner may thereafter collect rent payable to Tenant from the subtenant or occupant under its sublease or occupancy agreement. In either event, Owner shall apply the net amount collected to the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 40(a), or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this lease. The consent by Owner to a particular assignment, mortgaging, subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not in any way be considered a consent by Owner to any other or further assignment, mortgaging or subletting or use or occupancy by others not expressly permitted by this Article 40. References in this lease to use or occupancy by others (that is, anyone other than Tenant) shall not be construed as limited to subtenants and those claiming under or through subtenants but shall also include licensees and others claiming under or through Tenant, immediately or remotely.

(d)     Any assignment or transfer, whether made with or without Owner’s consent, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Owner an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner whereby the assignee shall assume the obligations of this lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed (which shall be as of the effective date of such assignment, except for assignments made pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) above, which shall be as of and

 

-6-


after the Commencement Date) and whereby the assignee shall agree that the provisions in Section 40(a) shall, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers. The original named Tenant covenants that, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges by Owner from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the original named Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges and for the other obligations of this lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed.

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

(f)     The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the Demised Premises or the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this lease or in the Demised Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Owner to any assignment or transfer of this lease or to any sublease of the Demised Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others.

(g)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 40, if Tenant shall at any time or times during the term of this lease desire to assign this lease or sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises other than a transaction for which Owner’s consent is not required that is properly effectuated in accordance with the provisions of Section 40(b) above, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Owner, which notice shall be accompanied by (i) a conformed or photostatic copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, the effective or commencement date of which shall be at least 30 days after the giving of such notice, (ii) a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant, the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Demised Premises, and (iii) current financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant, including, without limitation, its most recent certified financial statements, if such financial statements are certified (or, if not, certified by the chief financial officer of the proposed assignee or subtenant as being true and correct). Such notice shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Owner whereby Owner (or Owner’s designee) may, at its option, (A) terminate this lease (if the proposed transaction is an assignment or a sublease of all or substantially all of the Demised Premises) or (B) terminate this lease with respect to the space covered by the proposed sublease (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of less than all or substantially all of the Demised Premises). Said option may be exercised by Owner by notice to Tenant at any time within 45 days after such notice has been given by Tenant to Owner; and during such 45-day period Tenant shall not assign this lease or sublet the Demised Premises to any person or entity.

(h)     If Owner is entitled to the option to terminate this lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(g) above and Owner exercises its option to terminate this lease in the case where Tenant desires either to assign this lease or sublet all or substantially all of the Demised Premises, then this lease shall end and expire on the date that such assignment or sublet was to be effective or commence, as the case may be, and the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges shall be paid and apportioned to such date.

(i)     If Owner is entitled to the option to terminate this lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(g) above and Owner exercises its option to terminate this lease with respect to the space covered by Tenant’s proposed sublease in any case where Tenant desires to sublet part of the Demised Premises, then (i) this lease shall end and expire with respect to such part of the Demised Premises on the date that the proposed sublease was to commence; (ii) from and after such date the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges shall be adjusted, based upon the proportion that the rentable area of the Demised Premises remaining bears to the total rentable area of the Demised Premises; and (iii) Tenant shall pay to Owner, upon demand, as Additional Charges hereunder the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Owner (without markup, fee, profit or overhead to Owner) in physically separating such part of the Demised Premises from the balance of the Demised Premises and in complying with any laws and requirements of any public authorities relating to such separation.

 

-7-


(j)     In the event Tenant shall have complied with the provisions of Section 40(g) and Owner does not exercise its options pursuant to Section 40(g) to terminate this lease in whole or in part, and provided that Tenant is not in default of any of Tenant’s obligations under this lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, either at the time Owner’s consent to such assignment or sublease is requested or at the commencement of the term of any proposed sublease or on the effective date of any such assignment, Owner’s consent (which must be in writing and in form satisfactory to Owner) to the proposed assignment or sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided and upon condition that:

(i)     In Owner’s reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in a business and the Demised Premises will be used in a manner which is limited to the use expressly permitted under Article 2;

(ii)     The proposed assignee or subtenant is a reputable person of good character whose tenancy shall comport with the first class character of the Building;

(iii)     Neither (A) the proposed assignee or subtenant nor (B) any person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed assignee or subtenant or any person who controls the proposed assignee or subtenant, is (x) then an occupant of any part of the Building or (y) a person with whom Owner is then (or within the immediately preceding 6-month period was) negotiating to lease space in the Building;

(iv)     The form of the proposed sublease shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner and shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Article 40 (including, without limitation Section 40(1) below);

(v)     There shall not be more than one (1) occupant of the Demised Premises at any time (i.e., either Tenant or Tenant’s subtenant);

(vi)     Tenant shall, concurrently with the delivery of Owner’s consent, pay Owner the reimbursement amounts due pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(p) below;

(vii)     No advertisement for a proposed assignment or sublease shall have stated the proposed rental, and Tenant shall not have listed the Demised Premises (or any portion thereof) for assignment or subletting, whether through a broker, agent, representative, any computerized or electronic listing system or service (including, without limitation “Co-Star” or “Re-locate”) or otherwise, at a rental rate less than the fixed rent and additional charges at which Owner is then offering to lease other space in the Building. Nothing contained in this subclause (vii) shall be construed to prohibit Tenant from actually entering into a sublease at a rental less than the amount described in the preceding sentence or from listing the Demised Premises (or any portion thereof) for assignment or subletting in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

(k)     In the event that (i) Owner fails to exercise any of its options under Section 40(g), and consents to a proposed assignment or sublease, and (ii) Tenant fails to execute and deliver the assignment or sublease to which Owner consented within 45 days after the giving of such consent, then, Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Section 40(g) before assigning this lease or subletting all or part of the Demised Premises.

(l)     With respect to each and every sublease or subletting authorized by Owner or permitted without Owner’s consent under the provisions of this lease, it is further agreed:

(i)     No subletting shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the expiration date of this lease.

(ii)     Except for an assignment or sublease for which Owner’s consent is not required that is properly effectuated pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) above, no sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant shall take possession of the Demised Premises until an executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Owner; provided, however, the foregoing shall not affect Tenant’s obligations and the conditions Tenant must satisfy with respect to an assignment or sublease effectuated pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) above.

 

-8-


(iii)     Each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this lease and to the matters to which this lease is or shall be subordinate, and that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossess by Owner under this lease Owner 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 Owner’s option, attorn to Owner pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Owner shall not (A) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (B) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided in such sublease, which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, or (C) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease not previously consented to Owner in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s rent.

(iv)     Each sublease shall (A) 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 Owner’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but such right to sublet or assign shall be subject to all other provisions of this Article 40, including, without limitation, Owner’s rights under Section 40(g) and (B) set forth the terms and provisions of Section 40(b), with the subtenant being subject to the restrictions in Section 40(b) applicable to Tenant.

(m)     Except for an assignment or sublease for which Owner’s consent is not required that is properly effectuated pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) above, if the Owner shall give its consent to any assignment of this lease or to any sublease, Tenant shall in consideration therefor, pay to Owner, as Additional Charges, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Assignment Profit (hereinafter defined) or Sublease Profit (hereinafter defined), as the case may be.

(i)     The term “Assignment Profit” as used herein shall mean an amount equal to the excess of (x) all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment, including, without limitation, any sums paid for Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property over (y) the Transaction Costs (as hereinafter defined).

(ii)     The term “Sublease Profit” as used herein shall mean an amount equal to the excess of (x) any rents, additional charges or other consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant (including, without limitation, any fee, penalty or charge paid by the subtenant for the right to cancel the sublease) which is in excess of the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (at the rate per square foot payable by Tenant hereunder) pursuant to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, any sums paid for the value of Tenant’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property over (y) the Transaction Costs.

(iii)     The term “Transaction Costs” shall mean, with respect to any assignment or subletting, the following costs incurred by Tenant: the cost of work performed to prepare the Demised Premises for the assignee or subtenant, the sum of customary brokerage commissions incurred in connection with the assignment or sublease, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the assignment or sublease (but not including attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with obtaining Owner’s consent to the assignment or sublease). In calculating Assignment Profit or Sublease Profit, all Transaction Costs shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease (or over the balance of the term of this lease in the case of an assignment). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if Tenant does not deliver to Owner a complete list of the Transaction Costs (and reasonable supporting documentation) within sixty (60) days after Owner shall have consented to the assignment or sublease in question, time being of the essence, then for purposes of this Section 40(m), Tenant will be conclusively deemed to have incurred no such Transaction Costs, other than those Transaction Costs that had previously been provided to Owner pursuant to this Section 40(m).

(n)     The sums payable under Section 40(m) above shall be paid to Owner as and when paid by the assignee or the subtenant, as the case may be, to Tenant. Tenant shall use all reasonable efforts to collect (1) in the case of an assignment, all sums and other consideration payable to it by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment and (2) in the case of a sublease, all rents, additional charges and other consideration payable to it under the sublease and, in every case, Tenant shall, from time to time upon written demand by Owner, provide Owner with an accounting of all such sums payable to it by any such assignee and/or subtenant.

 

-9-


(o)     Each subletting shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this lease. Notwithstanding any subletting and/or acceptance of rent or additional charges by Owner from any subtenant, Tenant shall and will remain fully liable for the payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges due and to become due hereunder and for the performance of all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this lease on the part of Tenant to be performed and all acts and omissions of any licensee or subtenant or anyone claiming under or through any subtenant which shall be in violation of any of the obligations of this lease, and any such violation shall be deemed to be a violation by Tenant. Tenant further agrees that notwithstanding any such subletting, no other and further subletting of the Demised Premises by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant shall or will be made except upon compliance with and subject to the provisions of this Article 40. If Owner shall decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, or if Owner shall exercise any of its options under Section 40(g), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner against and from any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) resulting from any claims that may be made against Owner by the proposed assignee or sublessee or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.

(p)     Excluding any transaction for which Owner’s consent is not required that is properly effectuated in accordance with the provisions of Section 40(b) above, Tenant shall reimburse Owner either concurrently with the delivery of Owner’s consent or, if Owner shall deny consent, then within thirty (30) days after written demand, for the actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs that may be incurred by Owner in connection with the assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and reasonable out-of-pocket legal costs incurred in connection with Tenant’s request for consent to such assignment or sublease.

(ii)     Business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct and indirect loss of earnings, for a period of twelve (12) months, attributable to all perils and casualties commonly insured against by prudent tenants or attributable to prevention of access to the Demised Premises or the Building as a result of such perils;

(iii)     Commercial General liability insurance, including Products Liability insurance, at a $1,000,000 per occurrence, combined single limit, bodily injury and property damage, subject to a commercially reasonable deductible, including all standard Broad Form Commercial General Liability coverages.

-10-


(v)     Statutory workers compensation insurance covering Tenant’s employees with employer’s liability limits of not less than $500,000.00 or statutory limit, whichever is greater.

(b)     All insurance policies shall name Owner, its managing agent and their respective officers, partners, shareholders, directors, agents, employees and any owned, controlled, affiliated subsidiary company or corporation now existing or hereinafter constituted, as their interest may appear as an insured and, except for business interruption policies, shall also name any mortgagee or lessor of the Building as an additional insured, and shall be fully paid for by Tenant when obtained, and certificates therefor shall be submitted to Owner prior to the earlier to occur of (i) the Commencement Date or (ii) the date Tenant first enters upon the Demised Premises for performance of any Pre-possession Activities. Renewal policies shall be procured and certificates of such policies shall be submitted to Owner prior to the expiration of the existing policies. All insurance policies shall be issued by companies licensed to do business in New York State, with an A.M. Best rating of not less than A-:X.

(c)    Owner and Tenant shall require that all contractors and subcontractors brought onto the Property have insurance coverage, at the contractor’s or subcontractor’s expense, in the following minimum amounts:

 

  1.

Worker’s Compensation - Statutory Amount in the State of New York;

 

  2.

  4.

Business Auto Liability including hired and non-owned auto coverage $1,000,000 combined single limit; and

 

  5.

Umbrella/Excess - $4,000,000.

This insurance will be primary and noncontributory with respect to the insurance described above. Tenant shall ensure that Owner and Tenant are named as additional insureds on the contractor’s and subcontractor’s Commercial General Liability (CG 2010 ed. 1085 or CG 2010 AND CG2037) and Business Auto Liability insurance. The contractor’s and each subcontractor’s respective insurance carriers shall waive all rights of subrogation against Owner and Tenant with respect to losses payable under such policies. Tenant shall obtain and keep on file a Certificate of Insurance which shows that the contractor and each subcontractor is so insured. Tenant must obtain Owner’s permission to waive any of the above requirements. Higher amounts may be required by Owner if the work to be performed is hazardous.

(d)     Supplementing the foregoing provisions of this Article 41, Tenant agrees, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to procure and maintain any other insurance, in such amounts and to include such provisions in its policies of insurance, which Owner may reasonably require from time to time, provided Owner is then requiring such other insurance of all other similarly situated tenants of the Building and Owner reasonably determines such other insurance to be comparable to what is then being required of office tenants by prudent owners of first class office buildings in midtown Manhattan.

(e)     In the event of the failure of Tenant to procure or pay for any insurance required by the terms of this lease, and such failure is not remedied within three (3) business days after written notice of such failure by Owner to Tenant, then Owner may, without further notice to Tenant and in addition to any other remedies it may have, procure the same and pay the premiums therefor; and any reasonable sums expended by Owner for this purpose shall be and become due and payable to Owner as Additional Charges and shall be paid to Owner within thirty (30) days after written demand accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation of such sums. Owner shall have the same remedies for the nonpayment therefor as for the nonpayment of Fixed Rent.

 

-11-


(f)     Owner may from time to time require that the amount of the insurance to be maintained by Tenant under this Article be increased to the amount which is then customarily required by prudent owners of first class office buildings in midtown Manhattan.

(g)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, including Article 9, to the extent Owner is required to repair the Demised Premises as a result of fire or other casualty. Owner shall perform such repairs only to the extent of available insurance proceeds not otherwise applied by the holder of mortgage or deed of trust securing any financing obtained by Owner with respect to the Building.

(h)     Owner, at its expense, will obtain and keep in force “all risk” (special causes of loss) insurance for the Building in an amount equal to the replacement cost of the Building, and commercial and excess general liability insurance coverage in an aggregate amount of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Owner reserves the right to maintain such additional insurance as is customary for a prudent owner of similar properties or to meet Owner’s mortgagee’s insurance requirements, if any. Owner may elect to keep and maintain in full force and effect during the term of this lease, rental abatement insurance against abatement or loss of Rent in case of fire or other casualty, in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Rent payable by Tenant during the then current lease year as reasonably determined by Owner.

42.     ELECTRIC ENERGY.

(a)     Subject to the provisions of this Article 42, Owner shall furnish the electric energy that Tenant shall reasonably require in the Demised Premises for the purposes permitted under this lease on a “rent inclusion” basis and there shall be no separate charge to Tenant for such electric energy, such electric energy being included in Owner’s services which are covered by the Fixed Rent. Owner and Tenant agree that the Base Electric Charge (hereinafter defined) represents the amount initially included in the annual Fixed Rent set forth in Section 37(b) hereof to cover the furnishing of such electric energy by Owner on a rent inclusion basis and that such Base Electric Charge component of Fixed Rent shall in no event be subject to reduction, but shall be subject to being increased as hereinafter provided. Owner shall not be liable in any event to Tenant for any failure, interruption or defect in the supply or character of electric energy furnished to the Demised Premises by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Building with electricity or for any other reason not attributable solely to the willful misconduct or negligence of Owner, its agents, employees, servants or contractors (but in no event shall Owner be responsible for any consequential damages). Except in the event of an emergency, Owner shall notify Tenant prior to any anticipated service or utility interruption initiated by Owner and, subject to the provisions of this lease, Owner shall diligently prosecute such repair, maintenance and restoration thereof to completion. For purposes of this Article 42, the “Base Electric Charge” shall mean an annual amount equal to Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred Twenty-Seven and 50/100 Dollars ($13,527.50).

(b)     Owner will furnish electric energy to Tenant through currently installed electric facilities for Tenant’s reasonable use of such lighting and other electrical fixtures, appliances and equipment required for the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Demised Premises. At any time, and from time to time, after Tenant shall have entered into possession of the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, Owner may designate an independent electrical consultant to make a survey or resurvey of the electrical consumption and power load on the Demised Premises to determine Tenant’s average electrical consumption and demand taking into account, such usage factors as Owner may reasonably determine. If the electrical consultant shall determine that either (i) Tenant’s average electrical consumption or (ii) the aggregate load of the electrical equipment connected by Tenant in the Demised Premises (excluding base-Building heat, air-conditioning, ventilation and other Building systems) is greater than Tenant’s Estimated Usage (as hereinafter defined), then the Fixed Rent hereunder shall, upon written notice from Owner to Tenant, be increased in the same proportion as such increase in Tenant’s consumption or connected load, as the case may be. The effective date of the increase in Fixed Rent as aforesaid shall be on the date that such increase in such electric consumption or connected load occurred (as reasonably determined by the electrical consultant) or, with respect to the initial

 

-12-


survey, as of the Commencement Date. The initial unpaid amount of each such adjustment shall be paid within thirty (30) days after Owner furnishes Tenant with a statement thereof. Thereafter, the Fixed Rent shall be increased appropriately. In no event shall the “rent-inclusion” component of Fixed Rent hereunder ever be less than the Base Electric Charge. As used herein, the term “Tenant’s Estimated Usage” means six (6) watts per usable square foot (connected load), but specifically excluding the electricity required to supply base-Building heat, air-conditioning, ventilation and other Building systems to the Demised Premises.

(c)     If at any time during the term of this lease the Electric Rate (as hereinafter defined) shall be changed from the Electric Rate then in effect on the date of this lease (as same may have been increased or decreased pursuant to the provisions of this Article), then, effective as of the date of each such change in the Electric Rate, the charge for electricity included in the Fixed Rent shall be increased or decreased in proportion to such change in the Electric Rate (as determined by Owner’s electrical consultant but in no event, however, shall such electric consumption charge be reduced below the Electric Rate in effect on the date of this lease). The term “Electric Rate” shall mean at the time in question 112% of the public utility (and/or third party supplier) rate schedule (including all surcharges, taxes, fuel adjustments, taxes regularly passed on to consumers by the public utility, and other sums payable in respect thereof) for the supply of electric energy to Owner for the Building Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if the public utility rate schedule (with such inclusions) applicable to Owner for the purchase of electric energy for the Building shall be less than the public utility rate schedule applicable to Owner if Owner were to purchase electricity solely for the Demised Premises, then the higher rate schedule shall be used in determining the Electric Rate.

(d)     Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Demised Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Demised Premises.

(e)     Owner reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electric energy to Tenant in the Demised Premises at any time upon not less than ninety (90) days’ notice to Tenant. If Owner exercises such right, this lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except that from and after the effective date of such termination Owner shall not be obligated to furnish electric energy to Tenant and the Fixed Rent payable under this lease shall be reduced by the Base Electric Charge. If Owner so discontinues furnishing electric energy to Tenant, Tenant shall arrange to obtain electric energy directly from the public utility company furnishing electric energy to the Building. Such electric energy may be furnished to Tenant by means of the then existing Building system feeders, risers and wiring to the extent that the same are available, suitable and safe for such purpose. All meters and additional panel boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and equipment which may be required to obtain electric energy directly from such public utility company shall be furnished and installed by Owner at Owner’s expense.

(f)     Owner represents and warrants that the capacity of the electrical conductors and equipment servicing the Demised Premises are, as of the date of this lease, capable of providing a connected load of not less than Tenant’s Estimated Usage, and will remain at least at such capacity during the term of this lease.

43.     OWNER’S SERVICES. Supplementing the provisions of Article 29 of this lease:

(a)     Subject to the provisions of Section 29(e) hereof, Owner shall, at Owner’s expense (except as set forth below), furnish to the Demised Premises at the temperatures, pressures and degrees of humidity and in volumes and velocities in accordance with the specifications annexed hereto as Exhibit F and made a part hereof and all applicable laws, (i) from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (the “HVAC Hours”) on Business Days, cool and tempered air (“air-conditioning”) from April 1 through October 31 (the “Cooling Season”) and (ii) during Business Hours on Business Days, heat during times other than the Cooling Season. As used in this lease, the term “Business Days” shall mean all days except (1) Saturdays, (2) Sundays and (3) the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, President’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, the day following Thanksgiving, Christmas and any other days which shall be either (x) observed by the federal or state governments as legal holidays or (y) designated as a holiday by the applicable Building Service Union Employee Service contract or by the applicable Operating Engineers contract. As used in this lease, the term “Business Hours” means 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Business Days.

 

-13-


(b)     If Tenant requires ventilation or air-conditioning services during hours other than during the HVAC Hours on Business Days or outside of the Cooling Season, Owner shall furnish such services initially at the rates set forth on Exhibit C (subject to increase as set forth in Section 43(g) below) per hour, per zone, of service to Tenant at Tenant’s expense (minimum 2 hours).

(c)     Owner shall not be responsible for any failure to supply air-conditioning at reasonable temperatures, pressures or degrees of humidity or in reasonable volumes or velocities in any room or other area of the Demised Premises by reason of any machinery or equipment installed therein by Tenant, or which has a human occupancy factor in excess of one person per 100 rentable square feet. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Owner at all times and to abide by all rules regulations and requirements which Owner may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the air-conditioning system serving Tenant.

(d)     (i) Owner will cause general and executive office portions of the Demised Premises to be cleaned in accordance with the cleaning specifications annexed hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof. Tenant shall pay to Owner as Additional Charges (within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor demand accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation of such charges) Owner’s Building-standard charge (initially at the rates set forth on Exhibit C subject to increase as set forth in Section 43(g) below) for (x) any cleaning of the Demised Premises or any part thereof which is above the Building-standard requirements, (y) any cleaning done at the request of Tenant of any portions of the Demised Premises which may be used for the preparation, dispensing or consumption of food or beverages or for storage, shipping room, classroom or similar purposes or predominantly for the operation of computer, data processing or similar equipment and (z) the removal of any of Tenant’s above Building-standard refuse and rubbish from the Building.

(ii)     All cleaning which is in addition to the base Building cleaning shall be provided by Owner’s vendor of such services. Owner, its cleaning contractor and their employees shall have access to the Demised Premises at all times after 5:30 P.M. and before 8:00 A.M. and shall have the right to use, without charge therefor, all light, power and water in the Demised Premises reasonably required to clean the Demised Premises as required under this Section. Tenant shall comply with any reasonable rules Owner and/or its cleaning contractor and/or any consultant to Owner may establish, and which shall be enforced in a non-discriminatory manner against Tenant vis-à-vis other office tenants, regarding the management and recycling of solid waste, as may be necessary for Owner to comply with any applicable legal requirements.

(e)     Owner, at its expense, shall furnish adequate water to the Demised Premises for drinking, lavatory and cleaning purposes. If Tenant uses water for any other purpose or in unreasonable quantities, and such use is not promptly discontinued after written demand by Owner, Owner may install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, meters to measure Tenant’s consumption of water for such other purposes, and the cost of maintaining such meters shall be paid by Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Owner for the cost of quantities of water usage shown on such meters which is above Building-standard usage (at the rates paid by Owner for water supplied to the Building), and Owner’s reasonable Building-standard charge for the any hot water furnished by Owner to the Demised Premises, in each case within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation of such charges.

Throughout the term of this lease and subject to such reasonable rules and regulations of Owner as may from time to time be in effect, and which shall be enforced in a non-discriminatory manner against Tenant vis-à-vis other office tenants, Tenant shall be entitled, during Business Hours on Business Days, to use the freight elevators serving the Demised Premises, without charge, on a first-come, first serve basis in common with Owner and the other tenants of the Building. If Tenant shall require the use of the Building’s freight elevators at times other than Business Hours on Business Days,

 

-14-


Owner shall provide the same for the use of Tenant on a first-come, first-serve scheduled basis with Owner and the other tenants or occupants of the Building, provided Tenant gives Owner reasonable prior written notice of the requested time and use of such elevators and Tenant pays, as Additional Charges within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation of such charges, for such freight elevator usage, an amount equal to Owner’s Building-standard hourly charge therefor (initially at the rate set forth on Exhibit C subject to increase as set forth in Section 43(g) below). All after-hours freight elevator usage shall be in no less than four (4) hour increments.

(g)     Owner’s Building-standard charges in effect on the date hereof for various services are set forth on Exhibit C annexed hereto, which charges are subject to increase on a Building-wide basis from time-to-time as determined by Owner based upon increases in union rates and other costs incurred by Owner to provide such services.

(h)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Tenant is in default in the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Charges or Tenant is in default under any of the other covenants of this lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, Owner shall not be required to furnish any overtime services (i.e., other than during Business Hours on Business Days) unless Tenant shall have first delivered to Owner adequate cash or other security for the payment of such overtime services, as determined by Owner.

Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant is late in making any payment due to Owner from Tenant under this lease for fifteen (15) or more days then, in addition to Owner’s right to collect the late charge described above, interest shall become due and owing to Owner on such payment from the date when it was due, i.e., as to Fixed Rent, from the first day of the relevant calendar month, and as to Additional Charges, from the day due pursuant to the provisions of this lease, computed at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) two percent (2%) per month, and (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Owner and Tenant agree that the above charges are fair and reasonable damages to Owner resulting from late payment and do not constitute a penalty. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be intended to violate any applicable law, code or regulation and in all instances all such charges shall be automatically reduced to any maximum applicable legal rate or charge. The provisions of this Article 44 are in addition to all other remedies available to Owner for nonpayment of Fixed Rent or Additional Charges.

45.     BROKER. Tenant represents to Owner, and Owner represents to Tenant, that Real Estate Investors Group, Jones Lang LaSalle Broker, Inc. and Macklowe Management LLC (collectively, “Broker”) are the only brokers or agents with whom each such party has had any conversations or negotiations concerning the Demised Premises or this lease. Each party hereto hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against (a) any claim for a fee or brokerage commission made by any party other than Broker and (b) any expenses incurred by such party in connection with such claim, to the extent such claim arises out of the misrepresentation by such other party.

(c)     If and to the extent that there is a conflict between the provisions contained in the printed portion of the lease to which this Rider is attached and the provisions contained in this Rider, then the provision contained in this Rider shall govern and be controlling to the extent necessary to resolve such conflict.

(d)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Owner shall not be in default of any of its obligations hereunder unless Owner has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days (or promptly in case of emergency) of receipt of notice from Tenant of such failure (which may be oral in case of emergency), provided that if the nature of such default is such that more than thirty (30) days (or promptly in case of emergency) is required to cure the same, Owner shall not be in default hereunder if Owner commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period (or promptly in case of emergency) and diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

(e)     Notwithstanding any provision of this lease to the contrary, if Tenant shall request Owner’s consent pursuant to any of the provisions of this lease and Owner shall fail or refuse to grant such consent, Tenant shall not be entitled to, and Tenant hereby waives, any monetary damages, and Tenant shall not make any claim for monetary damages by way of setoff, counterclaim or defense, based upon any claim or assertion by Tenant that Owner has withheld or delayed granting any such consent, and Tenant’s sole remedy to dispute Owner’s failure or refusal to grant its consent shall be an action for specific performance or injunction and such remedy shall be available only in those cases where Owner has expressly agreed in writing not to unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent or where as a matter of law Owner may not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent

If it is reasonably determined by Owner that such services are necessary in the Demised Premises, Tenant shall employ an exterminator who will utilize the prevailing industry-standard method for the prevention of any infestation by, and extermination of, said animals and insects. If, in Owner’s reasonable judgment, Tenant shall fail to satisfactorily carry out the provisions of this subparagraph, Owner may, but shall not be obligated to, employ an exterminator service, and the reasonable out-of-pocket cost and expense incurred by Owner for such exterminator service shall be repaid to Owner by Tenant, within thirty (30) days demand, and such amounts so repayable shall be considered Additional Charges hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that extermination outside the Demised Premises is necessary due to vermin and insects emanating from the Demises Premises, then Owner shall have the right to designate an exterminator or exterminating company to provide services to the portions of the Building outside of the Demised Premises, and Tenant shall pay the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket cost and expense of employing such exterminator or exterminating company. Owner shall cause the common areas of the Building to be exterminated in accordance with Owner’s extermination program for the Building.

(m)     Tenant shall pay to Owner, as Additional Charges with respect to each calendar year during the term of this lease, an amount (collectively, “Tenant’s BID Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Percentage of the BID Charges (as hereinafter defined) for such calendar year, to the extent such charges are not otherwise included in the Tax Payments payable by Tenant. At any time after the expiration of such year, Owner may furnish to Tenant a statement (which shall include invoices or other reasonably detailed evidence of the BID Charges for such calendar year) setting forth the Tenant’s BID Payment for such year, which Tenant shall pay within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of such statement from Owner. The BID Charges upon which Tenant’s BID Payment is based shall be appropriately pro rated for the calendar years in which the Commencement Date and Expiration Date shall occur.

(o)     (i)    Subject to the terms of this lease, Tenant, at its expense, may install signage adjacent to the entrance door to the Demised Premises that identifies Tenant, which signage shall be of design, size, material and quality, and installed in location(s), in each case approved in writing by Owner (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that such signage complies with the signage program adopted by Owner from time to time for the Building). Any such signage installed by (or at the direction of) Tenant shall be removed by Tenant on or prior to the Expiration Date or the earlier termination of this lease. The installation and removal of signage (including, without limitation, the repair of any damage occasioned thereby) shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

(ii)     If Owner shall maintain a directory in the Building lobby, Tenant shall be entitled to not fewer than Tenant’s Percentage of available listings on said directory. Tenant acknowledges that there is no directory in the lobby of the Building on the date of this lease.

(p)     Tenant shall have the right to non-exclusive use of the Building conference room and lounge area located on the second floor of the Building (the “Second Floor Facilities”), in common with Owner, other tenants and occupants of the Building, and any other persons or entities to which Owner shall allow use of the Second Floor Facilities. Availability of the Second Floor Facilities shall be on a first-come first-serve basis (but the lounge area may not be reserved) and Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after written demand accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation of such charges, Owner’s then established Building-standard charge for use of the conference room and any charges for incidental services provided by Owner at Tenant’s request in connection therewith (initially at the rates set forth on Exhibit C, but subject to increase as set forth in Section 43(g) above). There is no charge currently for use of the lounge area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner reserves the right to cease providing use of the Second Floor Facilities; provided, that, such cessation is on a Building-wide basis and not discriminatory against Tenant.

(q)     If any of the Fixed Rent or Additional Charges payable under the terms and provisions of this lease shall be or become uncollectible, reduced or required to be refunded because of any act or law enacted by a governmental authority, Tenant shall enter into such agreement(s) and take such other steps (without additional expense to Tenant) as Owner may reasonably request and as may be legally permissible to permit Owner to collect the maximum rents which from time to time during the continuance of such legal rent restriction may be legally permissible (and not in excess of the amounts reserved therefor under this lease). Upon the termination of such legal rent restriction, (i) the Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges shall become and thereafter be payable in accordance with the amounts reserved herein for the periods following such termination, and (ii) Tenant shall pay to Owner promptly upon being billed, to the maximum extent legally permissible, an amount equal to (x) the Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges which would have been paid pursuant to this lease but for such legal rent restriction less (y) the rents paid by Tenant during the period such legal rent restriction was in effect.

(r)     (i)     This lease shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of laws principles. If either Owner or Tenant desires to bring an action against the other in connection with this lease, such action shall be brought in the federal courts located in the Southern District of New York, or in the state courts located in New York County. Owner and Tenant consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any right to have such action transferred from such courts on the grounds of improper venue or inconvenient forum except that either Owner or Tenant shall be entitled to remove any such action from state court to the aforesaid federal court.

(ii)     Tenant agrees that a New York judgment against Tenant shall be enforceable as a final judgment, binding on Tenant in the jurisdiction of Tenant’s formation and principal place of business, with all local defenses waived to the fullest extent. At any time and from time to time, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Owner an express waiver (in writing) of any such local defenses or limitations on suretyship or otherwise, to the extent that applicable law permits such waiver.

(s)     This lease shall be deemed to have been jointly prepared by both of the parties hereto, and any ambiguities or uncertainties herein shall not be construed for or against either of them.

(t)     Except as otherwise expressly provided in this lease, the obligations of this lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party is named or referred to; provided, however, that no violation of the provisions of Article 40 shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant.

(u)     This lease shall not be binding on Owner or Tenant unless and until each of Owner and Tenant shall have executed this lease and Owner shall have delivered a fully executed original counterpart of this lease to Tenant.

(v)     (i)     Owner and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other that (A) it is (1) not currently identified on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”) and/or on any other similar list maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order or regulation, and (2) not a person or entity with whom a citizen of the United States is prohibited to engage in transactions by any trade embargo, economic sanction,

(ii)     Owner and Tenant each hereby covenants and agrees (A) to comply with all laws and other legal requirements relating to money laundering, anti-terrorism, trade embargos and economic sanctions, now or hereafter in effect, (B) to immediately notify the other party in writing if any of the representations, warranties or covenants set forth in this paragraph or the preceding paragraph are no longer true or have been breached or if such party has a reasonable basis to believe that they may no longer be true or have been breached, and (C) not to use funds from any “Prohibited Person” (as such term is defined in the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) to make any payment due to the other party under this lease.

(w)     Owner hereby represents and warrants that, on the Commencement Date, the Demised Premises are free of asbestos-containing material (“ACM”), the presence of which violates applicable laws. Further, if after the Commencement Date there is ACM discovered in the Demised Premises, the presence of which violates applicable laws and such presence does not arise by any act or thing done by Tenant (or anyone acting by, through, under or at the direction of Tenant), then Owner shall promptly and at its own cost, remediate such ACM in accordance with applicable laws. All such remediation work shall be treated as a repair and be performed in accordance with the provisions of Article 4 above (including, without limitation insert No. 4B thereto).

(x)     Intentionally omitted.

(cc)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 9:

(i)     As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days following the date of any fire or other casualty rendering any portion of the Demised Premises unusable, Owner shall notify Tenant of Owner’s good faith best estimate of the date (the “Estimated Date”) by which the repair and restoration necessary to render such portion of the Demised Premises no longer unusable can be completed (“Owner’s Repair Notice”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, by reason of a fire or other casualty, (1) fifty percent (50%) or more of the Demised Premises are rendered wholly unusable or (whether or not the Demised Premises are damaged in whole or in part) the Building shall be so damaged that Owner shall decide to demolish it or to rebuild it, and (2) the Estimated Date set forth in Owner’s Repair Notice with respect to such fire or other casualty is after the date (the “Outside Repair Date”) which is the six (6) month anniversary of the date of such fire or other casualty (a fire or other casualty meeting the requirements of the preceding subclauses (1) and (2) being a “Substantial Casualty”), then Tenant shall have (with respect to any one casualty) a one-time right (except as set forth in subclause (ii) below) to terminate this lease by written notice (the “Damage Termination Notice”) given to Owner within thirty (30) days following Owner’s giving of Owner’s Repair Notice. Such termination shall be effective as of the date which is sixty (60) days after the Damage Termination Notice, and, upon delivery of such notice and the expiration of such 90-day period, this lease and the term hereof shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date originally set forth for the termination of this lease. Tenant’s failure to deliver the Damage Termination Notice in the time and manner required by this subclause (i) shall be deemed an irrevocable waiver of Tenant’s right to terminate this lease pursuant to this subclause (i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of such fire or other casualty the remaining term of this lease is 1 year or less, then the 6-month period set forth above shall be reduced to three (3) months.

 

-21-


(ii)     In the event of any Substantial Casualty, if the repair or restoration necessary to render the Demised Premises no longer unusable (provided that Tenant does not use the Demised Premises for any purpose) is not substantially completed by the Outside Repair Date, as such Outside Repair Date shall be extended due to delays caused or occasioned by Owner’s inability to perform as described in Article 27 hereof by reason of the occurrence of a so-called force majeure event or by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, architects, engineers or servants, then Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this lease by a Damage Termination Notice given to Owner within thirty (30) days after the Outside Repair Date (as so extended) and, upon the giving of such notice, this lease and the term hereof shall expire as of the date which is thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice (the “Damage Termination Date”); provided, however, if Tenant delivers a Damage Termination Notice pursuant to this subclause (ii) to Owner, then Owner shall have the right to suspend the occurrence of the Damage Termination Date for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of the Damage Termination Notice by delivering to Tenant, within ten (10) Business Days after Owner’s receipt of such Damage Termination Notice, a certificate of Owner’s contractor responsible for the repairs of such damage certifying that it is such contractor’s good faith judgment that the repairs shall be substantially completed within thirty (30) days after the date of the Damage Termination Notice. If the repairs shall be substantially completed prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, the Damage Termination Notice shall be null and void and of no force or effect, and this lease shall continue, but if the repairs shall not be substantially completed within such thirty (30) day period, then this lease shall terminate upon the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.

(dd)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 13, except in the event of an emergency or where such entry is required by applicable law, Owner’s right of entry shall be exercised following reasonable advance notice to Tenant (which may be given orally) and Tenant shall be afforded the opportunity to have a representative of Tenant present during such access. Owner agrees that while exercising such right of entry or making such repairs, replacements or improvements, Owner shall perform its work diligently and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with Tenant’s business or disrupting the same (including, but not limited to, except in an emergency, adhering to Tenant’s reasonable written requirements (provided to Owner in advance) prior to entering any area in the Demised Premises designated by Tenant as secure or sensitive), but in no event shall Owner be obligated to perform work on an overtime or premium basis.

Owner shall not discriminate against Tenant (vis-à-vis other office Tenants of the Building) in the enforcement of any Rules and Regulations. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms of this lease and any Rules and Regulations, the terms of this lease shall govern.

(ff)     If either party commences an action, proceeding, demand, claim, action, cause of action or suit against the other party arising out of or in connection with this lease, then the prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other party for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the prevailing party in such action, proceeding, demand, claim, action, cause of action or suit, and in any appeal in connection therewith.

(gg)     Owner and Tenant each warrants and represents to the other that (i) it is duly incorporated or otherwise established or formed and validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation, establishment or formation, (ii) it has and is duly qualified to do business in the State of New York, (iii) it has full corporate, partnership, trust, association or other appropriate power and authority to enter into this lease and to perform all its obligations hereunder, (iv) each person (and all of the persons if more than one signs) signing this lease on behalf of it is duly and validly authorized to do so and (v) neither (1) the execution, delivery or performance of this lease nor (2) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will violate or conflict with any provision of documents or instruments under which it is constituted or to which it is a party.

Notices given by Owner’s managing agent shall be deemed to constitute a valid notice if addressed and sent in accordance with the provisions of this Article 47.

 

-23-


48.     HOLDOVER.

(a)     If Tenant shall hold over after the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this lease, then Tenant shall pay on the first day of each month of the holdover period as Fixed Rent, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (1) the Applicable Percentage (as hereinafter defined) times one-twelfth of the sum of the Fixed Rent and (2) the Additional Charges payable by Tenant during the last year of the term of this lease and (ii) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the fair market rental value of the Demised Premises during the holdover period. It is stipulated and agreed that Owner shall not be required to perform any work, furnish any materials or make any repairs within the Demised Premises during the holdover period (as determined by Owner). It is further stipulated and agreed that if Owner shall, at any time after the expiration or sooner termination of the term, proceed to remove Tenant from the Demised Premises as a holdover, the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises during any holdover period shall be calculated in the same manner as set forth above. No holding over by Tenant shall operate to extend the term of this lease. As used herein, “Applicable Percentage” means (x) 150% for the first month of the holdover and (y) 200% thereafter.

(b)     Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the acceptance of any rent paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 48(a) above shall not preclude Owner from commencing and prosecuting a holdover or summary eviction proceeding, and the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an “agreement expressly providing otherwise” within the meaning of Section 232-c of the Real Property Law of the State of New York.

(c)     If Tenant shall hold-over or remain in possession of any portion of the Demised Premises beyond the date that is thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date, Tenant shall be subject not only to summary proceeding and all damages related thereto, but also to any damages arising out of any lost opportunities (and/or new leases) by Owner to re-let the Demised Premises (or any part thereof). All damages to Owner by reason of such holding over by Tenant may be the subject of a separate action and need not be asserted by Owner in any summary proceedings against Tenant.

49.     SECURITY DEPOSIT. Supplementing the provisions of Article 34 hereof:

(a)     On the date hereof, Tenant shall be obligated to deliver to Owner security in the amount of Two Hundred Twenty-Four Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Three and 14/100 Dollars ($224,653.14) (the “Security Deposit”) in the form of an unconditional irrevocable standby letter of credit (an “L/C”) in the original principal amount of the Security Deposit.

(b)     Tenant shall deliver to Owner the L/C in the amount of the Security Deposit in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, and naming Owner as beneficiary, as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of its obligations under this lease. The L/C and any renewal L/C shall be drawn on a bank or trust company located in New York City which is a member of the New York Clearing House Association, or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Owner. If Tenant defaults in the full and prompt payment and performance of any of Tenant’s covenants or obligations under this lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, including, without limitation, a default in the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Charges, or a failure to timely provide a renewal L/C to Owner as provided below, Owner may present the L/C for payment and use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the proceeds thereof, to the extent required for the payment of any Fixed Rent, Additional Charges or any other sums owing or which may become due and owing under this lease. If Owner shall so apply, use or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall upon demand by Owner, immediately deposit with Owner a sum of cash or an endorsement to the L/C in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner equal to the amount used, applied or retained, as security as aforesaid, failing which Owner shall have the same rights and remedies as under this lease for non-payment of Fixed Rent. In the event that Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease, the L/C, or so much of the proceeds thereof as shall remain after any application pursuant to the terms of this lease, shall be returned to Tenant promptly after the expiration or sooner termination of the term hereof and delivery of possession of the entire Demised Premises to Owner in the manner required by the terms of this lease, together with any documentation reasonably required by the issuer of the L/C to permit its cancellation. The L/C shall provide that it is automatically transferable without the issuer’s consent by utilizing the issuer’s customary transfer form, at no charge and without liability to Owner and without changing the form or substance of the L/C (or, if there is such a charge to transfer the L/C, Tenant shall pay such charge within five (5) Business Days after demand by Owner, failing which Owner may present the L/C for payment). Tenant agrees to cause the issuer to renew said L/C, in the same

 

-24-


form (or such other form as may be satisfactory to Owner in its sole discretion) from time to time during the term of this lease, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of said L/C or any renewal thereof so that an L/C issued by the issuer to Owner shall be in force and effect through the term of this lease. In the event of any sale, transfer or leasing of Owner’s interest in the Building, Owner shall have the right to transfer either the L/C or any sums collected thereunder, together with any other unapplied sums held by Owner as security and the interest thereon, if any, to which Tenant is entitled, to the vendee, transferee or lessee, and after such transfer and upon giving notice to Tenant of such fact and the name and address of the transferee, Owner shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return or payment thereof, and Tenant shall look solely to the new owner for the return of payment of same. Owner hereby approves Silicon Valley Bank as an issuer of the L/C.

(c)     The Security Deposit constitutes security for any and all present and future obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this lease. Tenant hereby expressly agrees that Owner is not required to apply the Security Deposit against the obligations of Tenant in any particular order. Owner, in its sole discretion, may apply the Security Deposit against any obligation under this lease in any order it may elect including, without limitation, any Fixed Rent and Additional Charges that accrue after Tenant vacates the Premises and/or any re-letting charges incurred by Owner as a result of Tenant vacating the Premises prior to the expiration of this tease.

50.     OWNER’S INITIAL WORK.

(a)     Owner or its designated contractor(s), in accordance with the provisions of this Article 50, shall perform the work (“Owner’s Initial Work”) set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof. Tenant may not make changes to Owner’s Initial Work during Owner’s performance thereof. Owner’s Initial Work shall be performed by Owner only once, it being understood that Owner’s obligation to perform Owner’s Initial Work is a single, non-recurring obligation.

(b)     (i)    For purposes of this lease, the term “Substantial Completion Date” shall mean the date on which Owner’s Initial Work is substantially completed or would have been substantially completed but for any Tenant’s Delay (as hereinafter defined), it being understood that substantial completion shall occur notwithstanding the fact that minor details, balancing or adjustments may not then have been completed, provided that such uncompleted work shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Demised Premises. The taking of possession of the Demised Premises by Tenant shall be deemed a delivery of the Demised Premises by Owner, substantial completion of Owner’s Initial Work and an acceptance by Tenant of the Demised Premises, subject to the correction of latent defects and the completion of any minor punchlist work with respect to Owner’s Initial Work. Owner shall proceed diligently to (i) complete any such punch-list work and (ii) correct any latent defects following notice thereof to Owner.

(ii)     Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Commencement Date hereunder is indeterminate and shall occur only as provided in Article 37 hereof and Tenant, therefore, waives any right to rescind this lease under any applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 223(a) of the Real Property law of the State of New York. Tenant further waives any damages which may result from any delay in the substantial completion of Owner’s Initial Work (or any portion thereof) or the delivery of possession of the Demised Premises on or by any particular date or dates.

(c)     The term “Tenant’s Delay” shall mean any delay that Owner may encounter in commencing or performing Owner’s Initial Work (or any portion thereof) or Owner’s other obligations pursuant to this Article 50 by reason of any act, neglect, failure or omission by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, contractors or subcontractors, or in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Article 50 including, without limitation, Tenant’s failure to promptly provide information necessary for Owner to substantially complete Owner’s Initial Work.

 

-25-


(d)     Except for Owner’s Initial Work, Owner shall have no obligation to pay any money or perform any other work in, or make any alteration, or improvements to, the Demised Premises or the Building to ready the Demised Premises or the Building for Tenant’s initial occupancy.

2. Additional Premises.

(a) Effective as of the earlier to occur of (i) Owner’s First Amendment Work Substantial Completion Date (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) the date on which Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant takes possession of the Additional Premises for any purpose other than for the performance of Pre-possession Activities (the earlier of such dates being herein referred to as the “Additional Premises Adjustment Date”), the Additional Premises shall be added to the Existing Premises, as if originally included in the demise under the Existing Lease. Effective from and after the Additional Premises Adjustment Date and continuing until the Extension Period Expiration Date (as hereinafter defined), (i) the term “Demised Premises”, “demised premises” or “Premises” as used herein and in the Existing Lease shall be deemed to include both the Existing Premises and the Additional Premises and (ii) the parties deem the Demised Premises to comprise approximately 10,500 square feet of rentable area (but such measurement shall not constitute a representation or warranty of any kind by Owner as to the actual square footage of the Demised Premises, rentable or otherwise, nor shall such measurement be subject to confirmation), as more particularly described in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof, but excluding elements of the Building which penetrate through the floor and janitor and electrical closets. Owner does hereby demise and let to Tenant and Tenant does hereby hire and take from Owner the Additional Premises subject and subordinate to each Superior Lease and Superior Mortgage as provided in the Lease and upon and subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions of the Lease. Promptly after the occurrence of the Additional Premises Adjustment Date, Owner and Tenant shall confirm the occurrence thereof and confirm the Extension Period Expiration Date (as defined in Section 3 below) by executing an instrument provided by Owner and reasonably satisfactory to Tenant; provided, that, the failure by Owner or Tenant to execute such an instrument shall not affect the occurrence of such dates as provided in this Amendment.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(a) above, Tenant may have access to the Additional Premises prior to the Additional Premises Substantial Completion Date solely for the performance of Pre-possession Activities in the Additional Premises as and to the extent provided in, and subject to the provisions of, Section 37(a)(ii) of the Existing Lease, it being agreed that, with respect to the Additional Premises, references in said Section to (i) the “Demised Premises” shall be deemed to refer to and mean the Additional Premises, (ii) the “Substantial Completion Date” shall be deemed to refer to and mean the Owner’s First Amendment Work Substantial Completion Date, (iii) the “Owner’s Initial Work” shall be deemed to refer to and mean Owner’s First Amendment Work, and (iv) the “Commencement Date” shall be deemed to refer to and mean the Additional Premises Adjustment Date.

Period Expiration Date”), upon and subject to all the covenants, agreements, terms, conditions and provisions set forth in the Existing Lease, except as otherwise provided herein, with the same force and effect as if said term, as hereby extended, were the term originally granted with respect to the Demised Premises, under the Existing Lease. “Additional Premises Rent Commencement Date” means the seven (7) month anniversary of the Additional Premises Adjustment Date. From and after the date of this Amendment, the term “expiration date” or “Expiration Date” as used herein and in the Existing Lease shall be deemed to refer to the Extension Period Expiration Date. Tenant acknowledges that it shall have no right to extend the term of the Lease beyond the Extension Period Expiration Date.

4. Fixed Rent.

(a) (i) Effective from and after the Additional Premises Adjustment Date and continuing until the Extension Period Expiration Date, the rental rates per annum payable with respect to the Additional Premises only (the “Additional Premises Fixed Rent”) shall be as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof.

(ii) Upon the execution and delivery of this Amendment, Tenant shall pay Owner the amount of $43,956.88 as payment for the first month’s Additional Premises Fixed Rent as set forth in Schedule A in respect of the first monthly installment of Additional Premises Fixed Rent due under this Amendment after the expiration of the Additional Premises Abatement Period, if and as applicable (the “Initial Additional Premises Rent Payment”). If the Additional Premises Adjustment Date is other than the first day of a month, the Initial Additional Premises Rent Payment shall be appropriately prorated and applied to the first month’s Additional Premises Fixed Rent which is due following the Additional Premises Abatement Period, and any balance shall be applied to the Additional Premises Fixed Rent due for the next succeeding month.

(iii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(a)(i) above, provided that Tenant shall not then be in default in the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Charges and Tenant shall not be in default under any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period (or, if Tenant shall so be in default, then upon the cure of all such defaults), Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of the Additional Premises Fixed Rent and the Tax Payment for the Additional Premises for the period (the “Additional Premises Abatement Period”) commencing on the Additional Premises Adjustment Date and ending on the seven (7) month anniversary of the Additional Premises Adjustment Date, except that during the Additional Premises Abatement Period, Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay the electric inclusion component of Additional Premises Fixed Rent payable during the Additional Premises Abatement Period, plus all Additional Charges (other than the Tax Payment) with respect to the Additional Premises) payable during the Additional Premises Abatement Period. Such abatement shall be applied to the first Additional Premises Fixed Rent due after the Additional Premises Adjustment Date. Except as specifically set forth in this Section 4(a)(iii) or in the Existing Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to any other abatements or free rent with respect to the Additional Premises and/or the Extension Period.

(ii) With respect to the Additional Premises only, the Base Taxes set forth in Section 38(a)(v) of the Existing Lease shall be average of (1) the Taxes payable for the Tax Year commencing July 1, 2018 and ending June 30, 2019 and (2) the Taxes payable for the Tax Year commencing July 1, 2019 and ending June 30, 2020 (the “Additional Premises Base Taxes”).

6. Electricity.

(a) Effective from and after the Additional Premises Adjustment Date and through and including the Extension Period Expiration Date, Owner shall furnish electrical energy to the Additional Premises in the same manner and subject to the same terms that it furnishes electrical energy to the Existing Premises; provided, that, from and after the Additional Premises Adjustment Date, the “Base Electric Charge” (as defined in Section 42(a) of the Existing Lease) with respect to the Additional Premises only (the “Additional Premises Base Electric Charge”) shall be $23,222.50 per annum, which sum shall be subject to adjustment as and to the extent provided in the Existing Lease.

It is agreed that no increased or additional Security Deposit shall be required in connection with this Amendment, the addition of the Additional Premises to the Existing Premises and/or the Extension Period, but the foregoing shall not affect Tenant’s replenishment obligations with respect to the Security Deposit as and to the extent set forth in the Lease.

8. Owner’s First Amendment Work.

- 5 -


(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8(a) above, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Owner, through its designated contractor(s), shall, commencing promptly after the date that the existing tenant of the Additional Premises as of the date of this Amendment (the “Existing Additional Premises Tenant”) shall vacate the Additional Premises, perform the work set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Owner’s First Amendment Work”). Owner’s First Amendment Work shall be performed only once, it being understood that Owner’s obligation to perform Owner’s First Amendment Work is a single, non-recurring obligation.

(c) As used in this Amendment, the term “Owner’s First Amendment Work Substantial Completion Date” means the date on which Owner’s First Amendment Work is substantially completed or would have been substantially completed but for any delay that Owner may encounter in commencing or performing Owner’s First Amendment Work (or any portion thereof) by reason of any act (including, but not limited to, Tenant’s failure to vacate the Existing Premises on or prior to the Existing Premises Required Vacate Date), neglect, failure or omission by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, contractors or subcontractors, or Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or in timely providing information reasonably necessary to enable Owner to complete Owner’s First Amendment Work each, a “First Amendment Work Tenant’s Delay”), it being understood that substantial completion shall occur notwithstanding the fact that minor details, balancing or adjustments may not then have been completed; provided, that, such uncompleted work shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s performance of the Tenant’s First Amendment Work (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the taking of possession of the Additional Premises by Tenant for any purpose other than for the conduct of Pre-possession Activities shall be deemed delivery of the Additional Premises by Owner, substantial completion of Owner’s First Amendment Work and an acceptance by Tenant of the Additional Premises, subject to the existence of latent defects and the completion of any minor punch list work. Promptly following delivery of possession of the Additional Premises to Tenant, Owner’s designated general contractor and Tenant’s authorized construction representative shall jointly walk through the Premises and develop a punch list of such minor uncompleted details, balancing or adjustments of Owner’s First Amendment Work, whereupon Owner’s contractors shall promptly complete same in coordination with Tenant and its contractors so as to minimize any material interference with the performance of Tenant’s First Amendment Work, but Owner shall not be required to perform work on an overtime or premium rate basis.

(d) (i) Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Additional Premises Adjustment Date is indeterminate and shall occur only as provided in Section 2 above and Tenant, therefore, waives any right to rescind this Amendment or the inclusion of the Additional Premises in the premises demised under the Lease under any applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 223(a) of the Real Property Law of the State of New York. Except as expressly set forth below, Tenant further waives any claim or damages which may result from any delay in the Additional Premises Substantial Completion Date or the delivery of possession of the Additional Premises on or by any particular day or dates.

(ii) Promptly following Tenant’s vacating of the Existing Premises and the Additional Temporary Space (as hereinafter defined), but no earlier than the Existing Premises Required Vacate Date, Owner shall commence, and thereafter diligently perform, Owner’s First Amendment Work, using its commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Owner’s First Amendment Work in an expeditious manner, but in no event, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 8(d)(ii), shall Owner have any liability, nor shall Tenant’s obligations under the Lease be affected by Owner’s failure to complete the Owner’s First Amendment Work on or prior to any particular day or dates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Owner fails to cause the Owner’s First Amendment Work Substantial Completion Date to occur on or prior to January 1, 2020 (as such date shall be extended for each day of First Amendment Work Tenant’s Delay or Force Majeure Delay (as hereinafter defined), the “Additional Premises Delivery Outside Date”), then, provided that Tenant is otherwise ready and able to commence Tenant’s First Amendment Work but for such failure by Owner, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for such failure by Owner, the Additional Premises Abatement Period shall be extended by one (1) day for each day beyond the Additional Premises Delivery Outside Date that such failure continues. “Force Majeure Delay” means a delay occasioned wholly or in part by reason of (1) the failure of the Existing Additional Premises Tenant to vacate the Additional Premises in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Existing Additional Premises Tenant’s lease, but not more than 90 days from September 1, 2019, or (2) acts of God, strikes, lockouts or labor troubles, explosion, sabotage, accident, riot or civil commotion, acts of war, terrorism or bio-terrorism, fire or other casualty, or any other cause whatsoever beyond Owner’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, government preemption or restrictions or by reason of any rule, order or regulation of any department or subdivision of any government agency or by reason of the conditions which have been or are affected, either directly or indirectly, by war or other emergency. Owner agrees to diligently enforce the applicable provisions of the Existing Additional Premises Tenant’s lease if the Existing Additional Premises Tenant shall not timely vacate in accordance with such provisions, including the prompt commencement and diligent prosecution of customary and reasonable legal proceedings.

(iii) Tenant shall vacate (and remove all of Tenant’s personal property, furniture, fixtures and equipment (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”) from, and deliver to Owner possession of, the Existing Premises and the Additional Temporary Space on or prior to the date (the “Existing Premises Required Vacate Date”) that is fourteen (14) days after receiving notice from Owner (the “Existing Premises Vacate Notice”). Each day beyond the Existing Premises Required Vacate Date that Tenant shall fail to vacate the Existing Premises and/or the Additional Temporary Space shall constitute a day of First Amendment Work Tenant’s Delay. Tenant shall confirm in writing its vacating of the Existing Premises and Additional Temporary Space and no such vacating of the Existing Premises and Additional Temporary Space shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until such confirmation has been delivered to Owner. Any Tenant’s Property remaining in the Existing Premises or Additional Temporary Space after Tenant shall have vacated such spaces shall be deemed abandoned and Owner may dispose of the same in any manner it may elect, without liability or accountability to Tenant or any third-party.

(ii) If, Tenant shall have requested that Owner advise Tenant of Owner’s approval or disapproval of any proposed Tenant’s Work and Owner shall fail to respond to Tenant within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of such request and Owner’s receipt of Tenant’s Plan (or ten (10) Business Days following Owner’s receipt of the corrected Tenant’s Plan (but only to the extent that Tenant’s Plan, as resubmitted, does not make changes other than those necessary to address the corrections required by Owner)), Tenant may issue a Second Request Notice (as hereinafter defined) as set forth below; provided that, when the initial request (i.e., the initial submission of Tenant’s Plan or the initial submission of the corrected Tenant’s Plan, as applicable) shall have been delivered to Owner, it shall have borne the following legend typed in bold, capital letters at the top and in a font size of not less than 14 point: “IF OWNER SHALL FAIL TO NOTIFY TENANT WHETHER OWNER APPROVES OR DISAPPROVES TENANT’S PLAN ENCLOSED HEREWITH WITHIN 15 BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING OWNER’S RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE (OR WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING OWNER’S RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE WITH RESPECT TO A CORRECTED TENANT’S PLAN), SUCH FAILURE SHALL ENTITLE TENANT TO ISSUE A SECOND REQUEST NOTICE, AND IF OWNER SHALL NOT NOTIFY TENANT WHETHER OWNER APPROVES OR DISAPPROVES THE TENANT’S PLAN WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF SUCH SECOND REQUEST NOTICE, SUCH PROPOSED TENANT’S PLAN SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED.” If Owner shall fail to notify Tenant of Owner’s approval or disapproval of Tenant’s Plan within five (5) Business Days after Owner’s receipt of a separate written notice (a “Second Request Notice”) delivered by Tenant of the existence of such failure, then such Tenant’s Plan shall be deemed approved; provided, that the Second Request Notice shall specify Owner’s failure to respond to the initial notice and shall bear the following legend typed in bold, capital letters at the top and in a font size of not less than 14 point: “IF OWNER SHALL FAIL TO NOTIFY TENANT WHETHER OWNER APPROVES OR DISAPPROVES TENANT’S PLAN ENCLOSED HEREWITH WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING OWNER’S RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, SUCH PROPOSED TENANT’S PLAN SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED.”

(c) If Tenant makes any changes in Tenant’s Plan subsequent to its original submission or after its approval by Owner, Tenant shall promptly deliver a revised Tenant’s Plan to Owner and Owner shall have the same consent rights with respect to such changed Tenant’s Plan as it maintains for the original submission of Tenant’s Plan. If the Tenant’s First Amendment Work in question requires Owner’s consent, Owner shall have the right to consent to any such changes, which consent shall be granted or withheld within ten (10) Business Days after Owner’s receipt of such changed Tenant’s Plan on the basis of the same criteria set forth in Section 10(a) above.

(d) Following compliance by Tenant with its obligations under the foregoing paragraphs of this Section 10, Tenant shall timely commence Tenant’s First Amendment Work. Tenant’s First Amendment Work shall be diligently pursued and shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner. Tenant’s First Amendment Work shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, but subject to reimbursement from Owner’s Contribution as and to the extent provided in Section 11 below. Tenant shall endeavor, in a commercially reasonable manner, to complete same prior to the expiration of the Temporary Space Term. In performing Tenant’s First Amendment Work, Tenant shall comply with all

 

- 12 -


current and future reasonable Building-standard rules and regulations promulgated by Owner or to which Owner is subject with respect to the performance of alterations in and about the Building, the current version of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D, provided that except as may be required to comply with applicable law, Owner shall not promulgate any modifications or additions to such current rules and regulations that would have the effect of materially increasing the cost or time required to perform Tenant’s First Amendment Work (the “Building-Standard Rules”). Upon the completion of Tenant’s First Amendment Work, Tenant shall furnish Owner with a complete set of record drawings therefor, in electronic CAD format and a standard construction “close-out” binder which includes equipment cuts, submittals, final architect sign-off and equipment user manuals (“Close-out Binder”). The “Tenant’s First Amendment Work Substantial Completion Date” means the date on which Tenant’s First Amendment Work is substantially completed, notwithstanding the fact that minor details, balancing or adjustments may not then have been completed; provided, that, such uncompleted work shall not either materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the use permitted under the Lease or prevent Tenant from legally occupying the Premises for such use.

(e) Subject to Tenant’s compliance with the Building-Standard Rules and the ordinary operation, maintenance and repair procedures of the Building, Owner agrees that Owner shall, at no unreasonable additional cost to Owner, use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s First Amendment Work in the Demised Premises, but nothing shall require Owner to perform work on an overtime or premium basis. Tenant agrees that in the performance of Tenant’s First Amendment Work (i) neither Tenant nor its agents or employees shall interfere with work being done by Owner and its agents and employees in the Demised Premises or in or about the Building (subject to Owner’s scheduling obligations pursuant to clause (ii) below) or the proper and normal operation of the Building, (ii) Tenant shall comply with any reasonable work schedule proposed by Owner, its agents or employees and, subject to the provisions of this Section 10(e), Owner shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in scheduling Tenant’s First Amendment Work and in the performance of any work being performed by Owner and or its contractors that would materially interfere with the performance of Tenant’s First Amendment Work, but the foregoing shall not require Owner to perform any work on an overtime or premium rate basis, (iii) the labor employed by Tenant shall be harmonious and compatible with the labor employed by Owner in the Building, it being agreed that if in Owner’s commercially reasonable judgment any labor employed by Tenant is causing labor disharmony at the Building, Tenant shall forthwith upon Owner’s demand withdraw such labor from the Demised Premises, (iv) supplementing the obligations of Tenant to provide insurance pursuant to the provisions of Article 41 of the Existing Lease, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s contractors to procure worker’s compensation, commercial general liability, property damage and such other insurance policies in connection with Tenant’s First Amendment Work as specified on Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof, shall upon Owner’s request cause Owner and each Superior Mortgagee and Superior Lessee, if any, to be named as an additional insured thereunder (except with respect to worker’s compensation coverage) and shall deliver to Owner certificates evidencing such insurance, (v) Tenant shall hold Owner harmless from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with any act or omission of Tenant or its agents or employees, (vi) Tenant’s First Amendment Work shall be performed substantially in accordance with the approved Tenant’s Plan (or other plans approved by Owner in writing) and in compliance with the laws, orders, rules and regulations of any governmental department or bureau having jurisdiction of the Demised Premises and (vii) Tenant shall timely pay for Tenant’s First Amendment Work in full and shall not permit any lien to attach to the Demised Premises or the Building.

 

- 13 -


(f) All fixtures and equipment installed by Tenant in the Demised Premises shall be fully paid for by Tenant and shall not be subject to leases, conditional bills of sale, chattel mortgage or other title retention agreements.

(g) Without limiting the provisions of Article 3 of the Existing Lease, on or prior to the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the term of the Lease:

(i) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, (1) remove all of Tenant’s property and, unless otherwise directed by Owner, remove any alterations installed as part of Tenant’s First Amendment Work or otherwise during the Lease term that are identified by Owner at the time Owner approves Tenant’s Plan of a type that would result in Owner having to pay a cost for the demolition of such improvements that exceeds the cost for the demolition of typical administrative office improvements (“Specialty Alterations”) and (2) restore the Common Corridor (as defined in Exhibit B) to its condition existing on the date of this Amendment, including, without limitation, installation and commissioning of all HVAC, electrical, life-safety and other Building systems serving the Common Corridor. Specialty Alterations include, by way of example only, a safe or vault, kevlar walls, escalators, elevators, built-in cabinets and displays, rolling-file systems, raised flooring systems and the associated installations thereto, showers, gym and/or fitness areas.

(ii) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, repair and restore, in a good and workmanlike manner, all damage to the Demised Premises or the Building caused by Tenant’s removal of Specialty Alterations and/or Tenant’s property, or by the closing of any slab penetrations and the removal of the Common Corridor. If Tenant fails to properly perform its removal and restoration obligations under this Section 10, Owner may do so and in such event Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand (which demand shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed backup), reimburse Owner for Owner’s reasonable, out-of-pocket cost of restoring the Premises and repairing such damage. All Specialty Alterations and/or Tenant’s property not removed on or prior to the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the term of the Lease shall be deemed abandoned and Owner may either retain the same as Owner’s property or remove and dispose of the same, and repair and restore any damage caused thereby, at Tenant’s cost and without accountability to Tenant. The restoration and repair work as may be required to be done with respect to the Common Corridor pursuant to this Section 10(g) is herein referred to as the “Common Corridor Restoration Work”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided and upon condition that, (1) Tenant shall have otherwise satisfied its end of term obligations under the Lease and vacated the Premises, (2) Tenant shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently perform the Common Corridor Restoration Work and (3) at Owner’s option, Tenant shall coordinate the Common Corridor Restoration Work with any work Owner may elect to perform in the Premises concurrently therewith, the outside date for Tenant’s completion of the Common Corridor Restoration Work shall be the sixtieth (60th) day after the Expiration Date and during such period, Tenant shall not be considered to be holding over and shall not be obligated to pay rent, but the remaining provisions of the Lease shall otherwise apply.

 

- 14 -


(h) Tenant shall pay Owner, as Additional Charges, the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket charges incurred by Owner to third-parties in reviewing any Tenant’s Plan submitted to Owner (or changes thereto) including, without limitation, the Initial Tenant Work Plan. Tenant shall pay the amounts hereunder within thirty (30) days after written demand from Owner, which demand shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation.

(i) “Owner’s Delay” means delay that Tenant may encounter in commencing or performing Tenant’s First Amendment Work (or any portion thereof) by reason of the willful misconduct by Owner, its agents, employees or contractors and/or any intentional refusal by Owner to perform its obligations under the Lease, including, for example, Owner’s refusal to make the freight elevator available to Tenant pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Lease, but expressly excluding any Owner’s delay in providing a response to Tenant’s submission to Owner for Owner’s approval of Tenant’s Plan for Tenant’s First Amendment Work (the remedy for which is expressly provided in Section 10(b)(ii) above).

11. Owner’s Contribution.

(a) Provided that Tenant is not in default in the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Charges and Tenant is not in default under any of the other terms of the Lease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods (or, if Tenant shall so be in default (monetary or otherwise), following the cure of all such defaults), Owner shall contribute an amount up to, but not to exceed, the sum of Six Hundred Eighty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($682,500.00) (“Owners Contribution”) towards the Tenant’s First Amendment Work Cost (as hereinafter defined). As used in the Lease, “Tenants First Amendment Work Cost” shall mean the sum of all costs incurred by Tenant in designing, permitting and performing the Tenant’s First Amendment Work (as hereinafter defined), including, without limitation, general contractor’s fee, project manager’s fee, general conditions costs, insurance costs, direct cost reimbursable expenses incurred by Tenant, all charges and fees of general and trade contractors, material suppliers charges, and “soft costs” such as, by way of example only, design fees, architectural and engineering fees and expediting charges, and the cost of obtaining permits; provided, however, that no more than 20% of Owner’s Contribution may be used to reimburse Tenant for soft costs. Tenant shall furnish Owner with a copy of the accepted bid of the general contractor selected by Tenant to perform Tenant’s First Amendment Work (the “Bid Amount”).

(b) Owner’s Contribution shall be disbursed to Tenant upon the following terms and conditions:

(i) (1) The Tenant’s First Amendment Work Cost shall be paid by Owner and Tenant, pro-rata, with Owner paying the proportion which the amount of Owner’s Contribution bears to either (A) the Bid Amount if the Tenant-accepted bid to perform Tenant’s First Amendment Work is a guaranteed maximum price bid, or (B) Owner’s good faith estimate of the Tenant’s First Amendment Work Cost if otherwise, and Tenant paying the balance, until such time as Owner has contributed an amount equal to Owner’s Contribution.

 

- 15 -


(2) Owner’s Contribution shall be payable to Tenant (or, at Tenant’s request, but at no cost to Owner, to Tenant’s contractors and vendors) in installments as Tenant’s First Amendment Work progresses, but in no event more frequently than monthly.

(ii) Tenant shall not then be in default under the Lease with respect to the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Charges, and Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure period with respect to all other material obligations of Tenant hereunder, provided, however, if Tenant shall then be in default (whether monetary or otherwise), the portion of Owner’s Contribution then required to be paid by Owner shall be disbursed following the cure of all such defaults.

(iii) Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) above and for so long as such satisfaction shall be continuing, Tenant shall submit requisitions to Owner for Owner’s Contribution from time to time during the performance of Tenant’s First Amendment Work, but not more frequently than monthly. With respect to each requisition, Tenant shall supply to Owner (1) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Owner establishing that all sums due and owing to contractors, subcontractors and materialmen with respect to all work performed which is not the subject of the current requisition have been paid, including final or partial lien waivers (as applicable) with respect to the sums paid to such contractors, subcontractors and materialmen, (2) a certificate from Tenant’s architect (which shall be a licensed independent architect or engineer employed by Tenant to supervise the construction and performance to Tenant’s First Amendment Work) certifying (w) the cost of the Tenant’s First Amendment Work incorporated into the Demised Premises, or, as applicable, incorporated therein since the last request, (x) the amount requested from Owner and that such amount is then due and payable from Tenant or has theretofore been paid by Tenant, (y) that the intended use thereof is for Tenant’s First Amendment Work and (z) that the Tenant’s First Amendment Work in question was performed in compliance with the provisions of the Lease and substantially in accordance with Tenant’s Plan theretofore approved by Owner. Owner shall be permitted to retain from the portion of each disbursement required to be paid from Owner’s Contribution and amount equal to 10% of such portion of the amount requested to be disbursed by Tenant (each such retained amount, a “Retainage”). The aggregate amount of Retainage shall be paid by Owner to Tenant upon the completion of the Tenant’s First Amendment Work and upon receipt from Tenant of (1) a certificate signed by Tenant’s architect and an officer of Tenant certifying that all Initial Tenant Work has been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor approved by Owner, (2) all final approvals and sign-offs and inspection certificates and any permits required to be issued by the New York City Building Department or any other governmental entities having jurisdiction thereover in order for Tenant to take occupancy of the Premises, (3) evidence satisfactory to Owner establishing that all sums due and owing to all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen having performed Tenant’s First Amendment Work have been paid, (4) final lien waivers and a general release from each contractor, subcontractor and materialman having performed Tenant’s First Amendment Work releasing Owner and Tenant from all liability for any portion of the Tenant’s First Amendment Work and (5) the Close-out Binder from Tenant’s general contractor. Each installment of

 

- 16 -


Owner’s Contribution shall be made to Tenant within 30 days next following the delivery to Owner of the documentation described above (the “Documentation”); provided that the Documentation is submitted to Owner on or before the 10th day of a month, and in the event the Documentation is submitted at any time after the 10th day of any given month, Owner’s payment shall be made on or before the end of the month following the month in which Tenant submits the Documentation.

(c) Owner shall promptly advise Tenant in writing of any specific default upon which Owner is relying in withholding payment of a disbursement of Owner’s Contribution to which Tenant would otherwise be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11. In the event that Tenant is entitled to receive a disbursement of the Owner’s Contribution and Tenant has satisfied all of the prerequisites to Tenant’s receipt of a disbursement of Owner’s Contribution pursuant to this Section 11, and Owner shall fail to pay such required disbursement on or prior to the outside date for such payment as provided herein, and if such failure shall continue beyond the date that is fifteen (15) days after Owner’s receipt of notice from Tenant of such failure, then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor, Tenant may offset the amount of such required disbursement against the next due installments of rent due under the Lease.

(d) The right to receive Owner’s Contribution as set forth in this Section 11 shall be for the exclusive benefit of RegenXbio Inc. and any assignee of RegenXbio Inc. pursuant to an assignment of the Lease for which no consent of Owner is required because it was properly effectuated pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) of the Existing Lease, it being the express intent of the parties hereto that in no event shall such right be conferred upon or for the benefit of any other third party, including, without limitation, any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, laborer, architect, engineer, attorney or any other person, firm or entity.

12. Free Freight. Provided that Tenant is not in default in the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Charges and Tenant is not in default under any of the other terms of the Lease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods (or, if Tenant shall so be in default (monetary or otherwise), following the cure of all such defaults), in connection with either Tenant’s move into the Additional Temporary Space, the relocation by Tenant from the Existing Premises and Additional Temporary Space to the Temporary Space, the relocation by Tenant from the Temporary Space to the Premises and/or the performance of Tenant’s First Amendment Work, Tenant shall be entitled to fifty (50) hours (in the aggregate) of overtime freight elevator service at no charge; provided, that, Tenant shall use such free overtime freight elevator in increments of at least four (4) hours.

13. Signage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Existing Lease, at any time after the Additional Premises Adjustment Date, Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, install, maintain, repair and replace signage that identifies Tenant in and at the entrance to the Premises, provided that Tenant shall first have obtained Owner’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

The extension of the term of the Existing Lease for the Extension Period shall not constitute a waiver or novation of, or otherwise affect, Tenant’s obligation to make such payments.

19. Successors and Assigns. The covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Amendment shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

20. Binding. This Amendment shall become binding on Owner and Tenant only after an original hereof, fully executed by Owner and Tenant, is delivered to Tenant.

EXHIBIT B

Owner’s First Amendment Work

Pursuant to Section 8 of this Amendment, Owner agrees, at its sole cost and expense (except where specifically noted), to perform the following work and installations in the Premises, all of which shall be of material, design, finish and color adopted by Owner for the Building:

 

  1.
