WITNESSETH

WHEREAS, Landlord is willing to lease to Tenant and Tenant is willing to hire from Landlord, on the terms hereinafter set forth, certain space in the office building located at 441 Ninth Avenue, New York, New York (the Building) on the land more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof (the Land; the Land and the Building and all plazas, sidewalks and curbs adjacent or appurtenant thereto are collectively called the “Project).

NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PREMISES; TERM; USE

Section 1.01 Demise. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, the entire fourth (4th) through tenth (10th) floors of the Building and a portion of the lower level of the Building, substantially as shown hatched on the plans (herein, the Floor Plans) annexed as Exhibit B to this Lease and made a part hereof (collectively called the Premises) The portion of the Premises comprised of the exterior setback/terrace areas, are hereinafter called, the Terracesand the portion of the Premises located on the lower level of the Building is hereinafter called the Lower Level Premises”. Landlord and Tenant agree that for the purposes of this Lease (i) the Premises, exclusive of the Terraces and the Lower Level Premises, are deemed to contain 298,961 rentable square feet (consisting of 50,319 rentable square feet attributable to the entire fourth (4th) floor; 50,319 rentable square feet attributable to the entire fifth (5th) floor; 49,857 rentable square feet attributable to the entire sixth (6th) floor; 49,191 rentable square feet attributable to the entire seventh (7th) floor; 48,297 rentable square feet attributable to the entire eighth (8th) floor; 25,998 rentable square feet attributable to the entire ninth (9th) floor; and 24,980 rentable square feet attributable to the entire tenth (10th) floor), (ii) the Lower Level Premises is deemed to contain 13,239 usable square feet. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the foregoing square footage determinations of the Premises have been determined in accordance with the Standard Method of Floor Measurement for Office Buildings approved by The Real Estate Board of New York, Inc., which became effective on January 1, 1987, utilizing a 27% loss factor from rentable area to usable area for a full floor (the Current Measurement Standard). If Tenant leases additional space in the Building during the initial term of this Lease pursuant to either Article 11 or 13 hereof, such space shall be measured in accordance with the Current Measurement Standard but any space that may be otherwise added to the Premises subsequent to the date hereof, including during any renewal term may be measured utilizing then market loss factors applicable for the Building and comparable first class buildings in midtown Manhattan.


Section 1.02 Term. The term of this Lease (the Term) shall commence on the Commencement Date (as defined in Section 1.03) and shall end on (i) the last day of the calendar month in which occurs the fifteenth (15th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), subject to renewal as set forth in Article 9 of this Lease, or (ii) such earlier date upon which the Term may expire or be terminated pursuant to any of the conditions of limitation or other provisions of this Lease or pursuant to law (the Expiration Date).

After the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a notice which sets forth the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date; provided, that the failure of Landlord to deliver such notice shall not affect the determination of such dates in accordance with this Lease. Should there be any dispute regarding the occurrence of the Commencement Date, then the same shall be resolved by way of expedited arbitration in accordance with Article 14 hereof, pending the resolution of such dispute, Tenant shall pay Rent based upon Landlord’s determination of the Rent Commencement Date in accordance with the terms of this Lease. If such dispute is resolved so that the Rent paid by Tenant is greater or less than the Rent determined to be paid by way of such arbitration, then (x) if there is a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor, or (y) if there is an overpayment, the amount of such overpayment shall be credited against the next installment of Rent due hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Commencement Date occur prior to August 1, 2019.

Section 1.04 Permitted Use. (a) The Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant solely as general, executive and administrative office use and uses ancillary thereto (including, without limitation, storage, merchandise display, board rooms, conference rooms, meeting rooms, conference centers, messenger centers and mailrooms, recreational and/or amenity spaces, bathrooms, pantry areas, and cafeteria and/or dining areas, including a Dining Facility (as hereinafter defined)) and/or for any other lawful purpose in keeping with the quality and character of the Building; provided, that in no event shall the Premises be used for any of the following: (i) a restaurant or bar or for the retail “over the counter” sale of food or beverages, in each event to members of the public (but Tenant shall have the right to engage in such uses and to have vending machines, warming pantries and a dining facility within the Premises for the use of Tenant’s employees and visitors), (ii) photographic reproductions and/or offset printing, other than photographic or art production prepared in connection with Tenant’s ordinary course of business, (iii) an employment or travel agency or airline ticket counter, (iv) a school or classroom, other than in connection with training programs provided for Tenant’s employees and invitees (but solely in connection with Tenant’s business), (v) medical or psychiatric offices, (vi) conduct of an auction, (vii) gambling activities, (viii) conduct of obscene, pornographic or similar disreputable activities, (ix) offices of an agency, department or bureau of the United States Government, any state or municipality within the United States or any foreign

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall not have the right to sublease the Terraces, except in connection with a sublease of the entire floor of the Premises to which the same may be appurtenant. Landlord shall have the right to install building equipment on the Terraces in the locations shown on Exhibit B-1 annexed hereto, provided that such equipment shall be screened in a manner reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, and shall not generate sounds, noise, or vibration at levels which (i) are audible in the interior of the Premises in excess of NC-40 when at least ten feet away from such equipment or (ii) exceed seventy (70) decibels if located on the Terraces. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in this Lease, the Terraces shall be delivered to Tenant in the condition specified in Exhibit L annexed hereto.

Installation of the Antenna shall be done in such manner as to not adversely affect the warranty for the roof. Tenant shall be responsible for any required maintenance and repair of the roof resulting from the installation, maintenance, repair, replacement, operation or use and/or removal of the Antenna. Any such maintenance and repair of the roof shall be performed by Landlord at Tenant’s actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket expense and Tenant shall pay for the same within thirty (30) days after receipt of a bill therefor along with reasonably supporting documentation;

(v) Landlord shall have the right at Landlord’s cost, on not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice, to relocate the Antenna; provided, however, that the foregoing relocation may not, other than in a de minimis manner, adversely affect Tenant’s operation or the reception of the Antenna. Such relocation shall be performed in a manner and at a time so as to minimize, to the extent reasonably practicable, any disruption of Tenant’s normal business activities and such relocation shall not impair Tenant’s data transmission and reception via such Antenna. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord in any such relocation provided that such cooperation is without cost to Tenant. The relocation expense to be paid for by Landlord shall include the cost of removal of the portion(s) to be relocated, the purchasing of materials and equipment necessary for the relocation thereof and re-installation of the applicable Antenna at such other location as reasonably designated by Landlord on the roof and/or another location of the Building and any other reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant resulting from such relocation. Upon Landlord’s request therefor, Tenant shall advise Landlord of any additional costs Tenant reasonably anticipates it may incur due to any relocation proposed by Landlord hereunder;

(vi) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, authorized agents or employees of Tenant shall have access to the Roof Location upon prior reasonable request to Landlord for the purpose of installing, operating, servicing, maintaining or repairing Tenant’s Rooftop Equipment provided however that access to the Roof shall be controlled by Landlord by way of a locked and alarmed roof door; and

(vii) The Antenna and the Connecting Equipment is for the sole use of Tenant and permitted occupants of the Premises and for no other parties. Tenant shall not resell in any form the use of the Tenant’s Antenna or the Connecting Equipment including, without limitation, the granting of any licensing or other rights.

Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month during such Tax Year, an amount equal to 1/12th of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Tax Payment for such Tax Year. If Landlord shall not furnish any such estimate for a Tax Year prior to the commencement thereof, then (A) until the first day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 2.02(g) in respect of the last month of the preceding Tax Year; (B) reasonably promptly after such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the installments of the Tax Payment previously made for such Tax Year were greater or less than the installments of the Tax Payment to be made in accordance with such estimate, and (x) if there is a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within twenty (20) days after written demand therefor, or (y) if there is an overpayment, the amount of such overpayment shall be credited against the next installment of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent due hereunder, or if no further installment of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent is due hereunder, refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days; and (C) on the first day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant (but in no event any sooner than ten (10) Business Days after Tenant receives such estimate) and monthly thereafter throughout such Tax Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of the Tax Payment shown on such estimate.

In no event, however, shall Taxes be reduced below the Base Tax Amount.

(h) The Tax Statements to be furnished by Landlord as provided above shall constitute a final determination as between Landlord and Tenant of the Tax Payments for the periods represented thereby, unless Tenant within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after they are furnished, shall in writing challenge their accuracy or their appropriateness (herein called a Tax Challenge”), which shall specify the particular respects in which such statement is inaccurate or inappropriate. If Tenant shall institute a Tax Challenge, then pending the resolution of such Tax Challenge, Tenant shall pay the Additional Rent to Landlord in accordance with the Tax Statements furnished by Landlord. If there shall have been an overpayment of 1.5% or more, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days from the resolution of such

 

9


Tax Challenge, refund to Tenant the amount thereof and, if there shall have been an overpayment of 5% or more, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days from the resolution of such Tax Challenge, refund to Tenant the amount thereof together with Tenant’s costs of such Tax Challenge. If Tenant shall not give such notice within such three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, then the Tax Statement as furnished by Landlord shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant. Any such overpayment or underpayment shall be refunded to Tenant or paid to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the issuance of such corrected statement. Either party may request arbitration of any matter in dispute pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.02(h). The party desiring such arbitration shall give notice to the other party. Within ten (10) days of such notice, Landlord and Tenant shall designate a tax certiorari attorney with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience representing owners and/or tenants of office buildings of 500,000 or more rentable square feet in lower Manhattan and/or midtown Manhattan (the Article 2 Arbiter”) whose determination made in accordance with this Section 2.02(h) shall be binding upon the parties. If the determination of the Article 2 Arbiter shall substantially confirm the determination of Landlord (or otherwise be in favor of Landlord), then Tenant shall pay the cost of the Article 2 Arbiter. If the determination of the Article 2 Arbiter shall substantially confirm the determination of Tenant (or otherwise be in favor of Tenant), then Landlord shall pay the cost of the Article 2 Arbiter. In all other events, the cost of the Article 2 Arbiter shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. In the event that Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree upon the designation of the Article 2 Arbiter within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the other party requesting agreement as to the designation of the Article 2 Arbiter, which notice shall contain the names and addresses of two or more Article 2 Arbiters who are acceptable to the party sending such notice (any one of whom, if acceptable to the party receiving such notice as shall be evidenced by notice given by the receiving party to the other party within such thirty (30) day period, shall be the agreed upon Article 2 Arbiter), then either party shall have the right to request JAMS, or if such organization fails to act in accordance herewith or no longer exists, then the AAA (or any organization which is the successor thereto), to designate the Article 2 Arbiter whose determination made in accordance with this Section 2.02(h) shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and the cost of such Article 2 Arbiter designated by the JAMS or the AAA (or any organization which is the successor thereto), shall be borne as hereinbefore provided in the case of the Article 2 Arbiter designated by Landlord and Tenant. In rendering a determination hereunder, such Article 2 Arbiter shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Lease.

(i) Only Landlord shall be eligible to institute tax certiorari or other proceedings to reduce the assessed valuation of the Project or the Building (a Protest”) and the filing of any such proceeding by Tenant without Landlord’s prior written consent shall constitute a default hereunder. Landlord shall file a Protest for each Tax Year occurring during the term of the Lease unless Landlord reasonably determines in accordance with standards consistent with those of other prudent first class landlords that it is not commercially prudent to file a Protest in a particular Tax Year. If Taxes comprising the Base Tax Amount or Taxes for any Tax Year are reduced as a result of a Protest, the taxes as so reduced shall for all purposes be deemed to be the Base Tax Amount or the Taxes for such Tax Year, respectively, and Landlord shall notify Tenant of the amount by which the Tax Payments previously made were less or more than the Tax Payments required to be made under this Section 2.02 and the parties shall promptly reconcile the same.

15


(i) Landlord shall furnish to Tenant prior to the commencement of each Operating Year, a statement setting forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Operating Payment for such Operating Year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month during such Operating Year, an amount equal to 1/12th of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Operating Payment for such Operating Year. If Landlord shall not furnish any such estimate for an Operating Year prior to the commencement thereof, then (A) until the first day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section 2.03 in respect of the last month of the preceding Operating Year; (B) reasonably promptly after such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the installments of the Operating Payment previously made for such Operating Year were greater or less than the installments of the Operating Payment to be made in accordance with such estimate, and (x) if there is a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, or (y) if there is an overpayment, the amount of such overpayment shall be credited against the next installment of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges due hereunder, or if no further installment of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges is due hereunder, refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days; and (C) on the first day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, but in no event any sooner than ten (10) Business Days after Tenant receives such estimate, and monthly thereafter throughout such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of the Operating Payment shown on such estimate. Landlord may, during each Operating Year, furnish to Tenant a revised statement of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Operating Payment for such Operating Year, and in such case, the Operating Payment for such Operating Year shall be adjusted and paid or refunded as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence.

(j) Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a Landlord’s Statement for each Operating Year within one hundred eighty (180) days after the end of the Operating Year. If Landlord’s Statement shall show that the sums paid by Tenant, if any, under Section 2.03(i) exceeded the Operating Payment to be paid by Tenant for the applicable Operating Year, the amount of such excess shall be credited against the next installment of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges due hereunder, or if no further installment of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges is due hereunder, refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days; and if the Landlord’s Statement shall show that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than the Operating Payment to be paid by Tenant for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after demand therefor.

(k) Tenant, upon written notice (the “Opex Audit Notice”) given within three hundred sixty-five (365) days after Tenant’s receipt of a Landlord’s Statement, may elect, to have a certified public accountant which may be employed by Tenant or by a lease auditing firm experienced in performing similar operating expense audits with respect to similar tenants in buildings similar to the Building examine such of Landlord’s Records as are directly relevant to such Landlord’s Statement and the Landlord’s Statement for the Base Operating Year (the “Records”) at Landlord’s office in the Borough of Manhattan or at such other location in the Borough of Manhattan as Landlord may reasonably designate. As a condition to Tenant’s right to review the Records, Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the Landlord’s Statement in question without waiver of its rights and/or claims. If Tenant shall not

 

16


give such Opex Audit Notice within such three hundred sixty-five (365) day period, then such Landlord’s Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant. Tenant and Tenant’s employees, accountants and agents shall treat all Records as confidential in the manner set forth in Section 8.21 of this Lease, and, upon request by Landlord, shall confirm such confidentiality obligation in writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant will not employ, in connection with such examination, any person who is to be compensated, in whole or in part, on a contingency fee basis. Landlord shall cooperate in good faith with Tenant to provide access to the Records. Tenant, within ninety (90) days after the date on which the Records are made available to Tenant, may send a notice (“Tenant’s Statement”) to Landlord that Tenant disagrees with the applicable Landlord’s Statement, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for Tenant’s disagreement and the amount of the Operating Payment Tenant claims is due. If Tenant fails timely to deliver a Tenant’s Statement, then such Landlord’s Statement shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. If Tenant timely delivers a Tenant’s Statement, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to resolve the disagreement specified in the Tenant’s Statement. If they are unable to do so and provided that the amount of the Operating Payment Tenant claims is due is greater than 1.5% less than the amount of the Operating Payment Landlord claims is due, Tenant shall notify Landlord, within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date on which the Records are made available to Tenant, if Tenant desires to have such disagreement determined by an Arbiter, and promptly thereafter Landlord and Tenant shall designate a certified public accountant (the Arbiter”) whose determination made in accordance with this Section 2.03(k) shall be binding upon the parties; it being understood that (i) if the amount of the Operating Payment that the Arbiter determines is due is not greater than 1.5% less than the amount of the Operating Payment Landlord claims is due, then Tenant shall pay the amount that Landlord claims is due to the extent not theretofore paid, and (ii) if the Operating Payment that the Arbiter determines is due is 1.5% or less lower than the amount of the Operating Payment Landlord claims is due, then Landlord shall pay the difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter. If Tenant timely delivers a Tenant’s Statement, the disagreement referenced therein is not resolved by the parties and Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s desire to have such disagreement determined by an Arbiter within the one hundred and twenty (120) day period after the date on which the Records are made available to Tenant as set forth above, then the Landlord’s Statement to which such disagreement relates shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant. If the determination of Arbiter shall be that the Operating Payment due is 5% or more, less than Landlord’s Statement therefor, then Landlord shall pay the cost of the Arbiter. In all other events, the cost of the Arbiter shall be borne by Tenant. The Arbiter shall be a member of an independent certified public accounting firm having at least three (3) accounting professionals. If Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree upon the designation of the Arbiter within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from the other party requesting agreement as to the designation of the Arbiter, then either party shall have the right to request the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (or any organization which is the successor thereto) to designate as the Arbiter a certified public accountant whose determination made in accordance with this Section 2.03(k) shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, and the cost of such certified public accountant shall be borne as provided above in the case of the Arbiter designated by Landlord and Tenant. In rendering such determination such Arbiter shall not add to, subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this Lease, including the immediately preceding sentence. Pending the resolution of any contest pursuant to this Section 2.03(k), and as a condition to Tenant’s right to

 

17


prosecute such contest, Tenant shall pay all sums required to be paid in accordance with the Landlord’s Statement in question.

(I) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in lieu of Operating Payments that should otherwise be payable as and for calendar years 2021 and 2022, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in equal monthly installments, as and when installments of Fixed Rent are due (i) $124,880.00 per annum during the 2021 calendar year, and (ii) $249,760.00 per annum during the 2022 calendar year.

(m) Landlord and Tenant agree that solely for the purposes of determining increases in Tenant’s Tax Share and Tenant’s Operating Share for additional space demised by Tenant pursuant to Articles 11 or 13 hereof, (i) the rentable square feet of the entire Building is deemed to be 697,877 for the purposes of determining Tenant’s Tax Share, and (ii) the rentable area of the office portion of the Building is deemed to be 674,338 for the purposes of determining Tenant’s Operating Share.

(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to pay any Operating Expenses that accrue prior to January 1, 2021.

Section 2.04 Tax and Operating Provisions.

(a) Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering any statement with respect to any Tax Payment or installment thereof shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render such a statement, nor shall the rendering of a statement for any Tax Payment or installment thereof prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected statement therefor, provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, any Tax Payment or installment thereof that is not billed (or corrected) within three (3) years after it is incurred shall be deemed waived by Landlord unless the same is being contested by tax certiorari or litigation related thereto. Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering a Landlord’s Statement with respect to any Operating Year or any component of the Operating Payment shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a Landlord’s Statement with respect to any such Operating Year or such component, nor shall the rendering of a Landlord’s Statement for any Operating Year prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render a corrected Landlord’s Statement for such Operating Year provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, any Operating Expenses component that is not billed (or corrected) within three (3) years after it is incurred shall be deemed waived by Landlord unless the same is being contested in good faith by Landlord by litigation or otherwise.

(b) Landlord and Tenant confirm that the computations under Sections 2.02 and 2.03 have been agreed to by and between the parties and are intended to constitute a fair and reasonable basis for determining Tenant’s share of increases in Taxes and Operating Expense may or may not be reflective of the exact rentable and/or usable square footage of the Premises and/or the Building and may or may not result in an actual reimbursement to Landlord for Taxes, Operating Expenses and other costs and expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to the Building.

 

18


(c) Each Tax Payment in respect of a Tax Year and Operating Payment in respect of an Operating Year, which begins prior to the Rent Commencement Date, the 4th Floor Rent Commencement Date, or 5th Floor Rent Commencement Date, as applicable, or ends after the Expiration Date shall be prorated to correspond to that portion of such Tax Year or Operating Year (as applicable) occurring within the Term following the Rent Commencement Date, the 4th Floor Rent Commencement Date, or the 5th Floor Rent Commencement Date, as applicable provided that this subsection (c) shall not be applicable to the payments pursuant to Sections 2.02(k) and 2.03(l) hereof.

(d) In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any refund or reduction in Rent if Operating Expenses for any Operating Year are less than the Base Operating Amount or if Taxes for any Tax Year are less than the Base Tax Amount.

(e) In determining the amount of items of Operating Expenses that vary based on the occupancy level of the Building, if (x) less than one hundred percent (100%) of rentable square feet in the Building shall have been occupied by tenant(s) at any time during any relevant period (including the Base Operating Year), and/or (y) the tenant or occupant of any rentable space in the Building (including Tenant) undertook in any relevant period (including the Base Operating Year) to perform work or services therein in lieu of having Landlord perform such work or services and the cost thereof would have been included in Operating Expenses, then, in each such event, Operating Expenses shall be determined for such relevant period to be an amount equal to the expenses which would normally be expected to be incurred had such occupancy been one hundred percent (100%) or if Landlord had performed such work or services with respect to one hundred percent (100%) of the rentable square feet in the Building.

Section 2.05 General Rent Provisions.

(a) The failure of Tenant to make any payment of Rent beyond applicable notice and cure periods, pursuant to this Section 2.05 or elsewhere in this Lease shall entitle Landlord to all rights and remedies provided hereunder for the non-payment of Rent, and the tender and/or acceptance of all or any portion of such Rent shall not be deemed a waiver of the rights of Landlord or Tenant with respect to any Rent payable pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

(b) Nothing herein contained shall create or be deemed to create a partnership, joint venture or a joint venture enterprise between Landlord and Tenant as to the operation by Tenant of its business in the Premises, or render Landlord in any way responsible for the debts or losses of Tenant; it being the express intention that the relationship of the parties hereto shall at all times be that of landlord and tenant.

(c) Tenant shall also pay other sums under this Lease, in addition to Fixed Rent, in the manner and at the times as herein provided. All sums and charges other than Fixed Rent due and payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease payable to Landlord hereunder, are called “Additional Rent”. Tenant’s failure to pay Additional Rent as provided hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods shall entitle Landlord to exercise all rights and remedies set forth herein for the non-payment of Rent. Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and all other charges herein are collectively called “Rent”.

 

19


(d) Subject to the terms of this Lease, Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and Landlord’s obligation to reimburse or credit Tenant for any overpayment of Taxes or Operating Expenses, shall survive the Expiration Date, to the extent necessary to carry out the provisions of this Lease with respect to Tenant’s or Landlord’s obligations which accrued prior to the stated Expiration Date or with respect to Tenant’s or Landlord’s obligations which accrued prior to or which accrue after any earlier termination of this Lease, as the case may be.

(e) There shall be no abatement or reduction of, deduction from or counterclaim, offset or set-off against, Fixed Rent, or Additional Rent whatsoever except and to the extent as may be expressly set forth in this Lease.

(f) No payment by Tenant or Landlord or receipt or acceptance by Landlord or Tenant of a lesser amount than the correct amount of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest Rent arrears or other amount owed, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check (i.e., “payment under protest”) or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and both Landlord and Tenant may accept such check or payment without prejudice to such party’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law provided.

(g) If at the commencement of, or at any time or times during the Term, the Rent shall not be fully collectible by reason of any Laws, Tenant shall enter into such agreements and take such other steps (without additional expense to Tenant) as Landlord may reasonably request and as may be legally permissible to permit Landlord to collect the maximum rents which may from time to time during the continuance of such legal rent restriction be legally permissible (and not in excess of the Rent reserved under this Lease). Upon the termination of such legal rent restriction, (1) the Rent shall become and thereafter be payable hereunder in accordance with the amounts reserved in this Lease for the periods following such termination, if such termination is prior to the Expiration Date, and (2) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, if legally permissible, an amount equal to (a) the Rent which would have been paid pursuant to this Lease but for such legal rent restriction, less (b) the rents paid by Tenant to Landlord during the period or periods such legal rent restriction was in effect. The obligations under this Section 2.05(g) shall survive the Expiration Date.

(h) Any payment of Rent due from Tenant to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest from the date such payment is due to the date of actual payment (“Interest”) at the rate per annum of the lesser of (i), the rate announced as its prime rate by JPMorgan Chase & Co. plus 4% or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by the law (the “Interest Rate”). Notwithstanding the forgoing, Landlord shall waive Interest on the first two (2) late payments of Rent during any calendar year, provided that such Rent is paid within ten (10) days following written notice to Tenant of such failure to pay Rent on a timely basis.

Section 2.06 Electric Charges. Tenant’s demand for, and consumption of, electricity serving the Premises shall be paid by Tenant as set forth herein. Tenant’s consumption of electricity shall not exceed the Maximum Electric Load, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any unallocated power available in the Building, except as set forth in subsection 2.04(d) of this Lease.

 

20


(a) The Premises shall be delivered to Tenant with a submeter or submeters exclusively measuring electric consumption at the Premises as part of Landlord’s Work, and Tenant shall pay for such submetered electric consumption from and after the Commencement Date for the Premises within thirty (30) days after rendition of bills therefor with reasonably supporting documentation, which bills shall be rendered by or on behalf of Landlord separately for each submeter (but not more frequently than on a monthly basis). The amount payable by Tenant for electricity consumed within the Premises, as determined by said submeter(s), shall be one hundred three percent (103%) of the average cost per kilowatt hour of electric used in the Premises, as determined by readings of submeters measuring Tenant’s usage of electric in the Premises. Such average cost shall be computed by dividing (i) the aggregate costs at which Landlord from time to time purchases each KW and KWH of electricity for the same period from the utility company and/or alternate providers (including all surcharges, taxes, fuel adjustments, market supply and market adjustment charges, taxes passed on to consumers by the public utility, and other sums payable in respect thereof), plus all surcharges, taxes and other sums payable in respect of Landlord’s sale of electricity to Tenant, by (ii) the aggregate KW utilized in the Building during the same period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall not be obligated to apply Tenant’s interval data to Landlord’s Rate in order to determine the amount payable by Tenant hereunder.

Section 2.07 Manner of Payment. Tenant shall pay all Rent as the same shall become due and payable under this Lease by check (subject to collection) drawn on a Clearing House Association member bank or electronic funds transfer of immediately available federal funds to an account designated in writing by Landlord, in each case at the times provided herein without notice or demand and without setoff or counterclaim, except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Lease. All Rent shall be paid in lawful money of the United States to Landlord at its office or such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate. If Tenant fails timely to pay any Rent on its due date, Tenant shall pay, in addition to Interest, a late charge (Late Charge) of four cents ($0.04) for each dollar overdue; provided, however, that Landlord shall waive the Late Charge with respect to the first two (2) late payments of Rent during any calendar year, provided that such Rent is paid within ten (10) days following written notice to Tenant of such failure to pay Rent on a timely basis. Any Additional Rent for which no due date is specified in this Lease shall be due and payable on the twentieth (20th) day after the date of invoice. Except as may be expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, all bills, invoices and statements rendered to Tenant with respect to this Lease shall be binding and conclusive on Tenant unless, within three hundred sixty-five (365) days of actual receipt of same in writing, Tenant notifies Landlord that it is disputing same. Notwithstanding the Interest charge and Late Charge, non-payment of any Rent shall constitute a default of this Lease.

There shall be a one hour minimum requirement for overtime HVAC service immediately before 8:00 am or following 8:00 pm on a Business Day and immediately before 8:00 am or after 1:00 pm on Saturdays immediately following a Business Day and a four hour minimum at any other time. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand with reasonably supporting documentation, one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) per hour for the first floor for which overtime HVAC is requested and seventy five dollars ($75.00) per hour for each additional floor for which overtime HV AC is requested, as such dollar amounts shall be increased annually by the percentage increase in the “CPI over the Base CPI” with a review by Landlord every five years during the Term to ensure that Tenant is paying market rates for comparable buildings for delivering such services. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the electricity used to operate the HVAC units in the Premises during all hours shall be provided by Landlord on a submetered basis pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.06 hereof and paid by Tenant as Additional Rent in accordance with Section 2.06 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, (i) Tenant shall be responsible for delivering HVAC to the Lower Level Premises and (ii) the Building HVAC system(s) and related equipment on floors 4 through 10 of the Building shall not generate sounds, noise, or vibration at levels which exceed NC-40 when at least ten feet away from the Building’s mechanical rooms.

22


through a two inch (2”) capped outlet located on the floor on which the Premises is located to which Tenant may at Tenant’s sole cost, connect and the cost of distributing such water from the capped outlet and the cost of heating such water shall be Tenant’s sole responsibility. Landlord may install and maintain, at Tenant’s expense, meter(s) to measure Tenant’s consumption of cold water for such other purposes in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the quantities of cold water shown on such meter(s), within ten (10) Business Days following Landlord’s written demand;

(d) electric energy at a level of not less than six (6) watts demand load at the panel per usable square foot contained in the Premises (exclusive of electricity for the Building HVAC system, but for the avoidance of doubt, inclusive of any supplemental HVAC installed by Tenant) for Tenant’s use of lighting and other electrical fixtures, appliances and equipment (the Maximum Electric Load). If Tenant submits a load letter and reasonably demonstrates the need for power in excess of the Maximum Electric Load and subject to the availability of such additional power required to supply such additional power, Landlord will assist Tenant in procuring such excess power, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall pay Landlord within ten (10) Business Days following Landlord’s written demand its then established connection charge for each additional amp of power or portion thereof provided to the Premises and the cost of installing additional risers, meters, switches and related equipment necessary to provide such additional power.

(e) Access through the junction box installed by Landlord in the core electric closets in the Premises, to an independent emergency power system (the EPS”) by way of pathways and risers designated by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant, to provide backup lighting to the Premises in the event of loss of normal power supply, in the amount of one-quarter (14) watt per usable square foot of the Premises (the Maximum EPS Load). Tenant shall be responsible at Tenant’s cost and expense to make the connections to the EPS from the Premises. Should Tenant require additional backup power from the EPS in excess of the Maximum EPS Load, then provided Tenant reasonably demonstrates the need for power in excess of the Maximum Electric Load and subject to the availability of such additional power (in Landlord’s sole discretion), Landlord shall make available to Tenant additional power from the EPS System, provided Tenant shall at Tenant’s cost do such core drilling and run such additional risers as may be necessary for Tenant to utilize such additional backup power. Tenant shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) Business Days following Landlord’s written demand therefor, as and when Fixed Rent is payable hereunder, for the availability of such additional emergency power in excess of the Maximum EPS Load, Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per kilowatt per month as such amount shall be increased annually by the percentage increase in the “CPI” over the “Base CPI.” Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in the event of any failure of the EPS and Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any costs, expenses, loss or liability resulting from Tenant’s connections to the EPS.

Section 4.01 Alterations. Except as hereinafter expressly provided, Tenant shall make no improvements, changes or alterations in or to the Premises (“Alterations”) without Landlord’s prior written approval. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval to any Alteration that is not a Material Alteration; provided that Landlord will be deemed to have reasonably withheld approval to any Alteration that requires the consent of any Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor and such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor does not consent thereto. Material Alterationmeans an Alteration that (i) is not limited to the Premises or which affects the exterior (including the appearance) of the Building, and/or (ii) adversely affects the structure of the Building, and/or (iii) adversely affects the usage or the proper functioning of any of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing or life safety systems of the Building (the Building Systems”), and/or (v) requires a change to the Building’s certificate of occupancy and/or (vi) does not comply with the LEED rating achieved by the Building at the time the Material Alteration request is submitted.

(a) Tenant shall not proceed with any Alteration requiring the filing of plans unless and until Landlord approves Tenant’s plans and specifications therefor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to Alterations which are not Material Alterations. Any review or approval by Landlord of plans and specifications (including, without limitation, any applicable architectural, mechanical and electrical working drawings, construction drawings and reasonably detailed working drawings, being collectively herein referred to as Tenant’s Alteration Plans”) with respect to any Alteration is solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any representation or warranty to Tenant with respect to the adequacy, correctness or efficiency thereof, its compliance with Laws or otherwise. Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for approval of any proposed Alterations or any Tenant’s Alteration Plans within fifteen (15) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of such request for approval and/or Tenant’s Alteration Plans, by granting approval therefor or denying approval and providing reasonably detailed objections in connection therewith. If Landlord shall fail to approve or disapprove (with reasonably detailed objections) Tenant’s written request for approval of any Alteration or any Tenant’s Alteration Plans, (herein called an Alterations Request”) within fifteen (15) Business Days after such Alterations Request is received by Landlord, then Tenant shall have the right to give to Landlord a second request for approval (herein called a Second Alterations Request”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord’s approval of any expediter, contractor, subcontractor, architect, engineer, service provider, supplier, vendor, or other consultant (each, a Tenant Designated Provider”): (i) shall be without liability to or recourse against Landlord; (ii) shall not limit or otherwise affect Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; (iii) shall not constitute any warranty by Landlord regarding the adequacy, professionalism, competence, or experience of any such Tenant Designated Provider ; and (iv) shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder to obtain Landlord’s prior consent with respect to any replacement or additional Tenant Designated Provider to the extent required under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease (including, without limitation the Alterations Rules and Regulations), (A) Landlord hereby consents to Tenant obtaining, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any required permits and approvals for any Alterations (including the Tenant’s Work) based upon the Tenant’s architect’s and engineer’s self-certification of the Tenant’s plans; and (B) Tenant shall have the right to perform Alterations (including the Tenant’s Work) at any hours of the day, subject to applicable legal requirements and the Alterations Rules and Regulations which prohibit certain types of work from being performed during Business Hours of Business Days.

No assignment or other transfer of this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted, and no subletting of all or any portion of the Premises shall relieve Tenant of its liability under this Lease or of the obligation to obtain Landlord’s prior consent to any further assignment, other transfer or subletting (to the extent such consent is required hereunder). Any attempt to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises in violation of this Article 5 shall be null and void, and no rents or other sums receivable by Tenant under any sublease of all or any part of the Premises shall be assigned or otherwise encumbered, without the prior written consent of Landlord.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.01(a), without the requirement of obtaining the consent of Landlord and without being deemed a right of first offer pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof and without any requirement to pay any profit to Landlord in connection therewith pursuant to Section 5.05 hereof, this Lease may be assigned to, and/or all or any part of the Premises may be subleased to, licensed to, or permitted to be used by (i) an entity created by merger, reorganization, recapitalization, of or with Tenant or other similar transaction in accordance with applicable statutory provisions or (ii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or all of Tenant’s equity interests (each such “entity” or “purchaser” being a Successor”); provided, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii), that (A) Landlord shall have received written notice of such transaction from Tenant within ten (10) Business Days following the consummation thereof, (B) in connection with an actual assignment of this Lease, the assignee assumes by a written instrument reasonable acceptable to Landlord, all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, as applicable, (C) such transaction is for a valid business purpose and not to avoid any obligations under this Lease, and (D) the assignee is a reputable entity who shall have, immediately after giving effect to such assignment, an aggregate net worth (computed in accordance with GAAP) at least equal to $623,678,000.00 (“Minimum Net Worth”), which is the aggregate net worth of Tenant on the Effective Date hereof, if the assignee is a Successor of Tenant.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 5.0l(a) or any other provision herein, Landlord’s consent shall not be required with respect to (i) an assignment resulting from a consolidation, merger or purchase of substantially all of Tenant’s assets, or the assets of the business unit occupying the space, (ii) any assignment or sublease to a Parent or Affiliate, (iii) any firm which acquires, is acquired by, or merges with, Tenant, or the assets of the business unit occupying the space, (iv) the issuance (or sale or transfer) of ownership interests in Tenant or an

 

44


Affiliate pursuant to an initial public offering, debt offering or a private placement, or (v) in connection with the sale, or transfer (including a change of control) of Tenant or a Parent (whether directly or indirectly) provided that in each of the foregoing cases, other than clause (iv) with respect to the issuance (or sale or transfer) of ownership interests in Tenant or an Affiliate pursuant to an initial public offering, the assignee of the Lease or the resulting entity shall have a net worth at least equal to the Minimum Net Worth and provided that (1) Landlord shall have received seven (7) days’ prior written notice of such assignment or sublease from Tenant; and (2) the assignment or sublease or other transaction, as applicable, is for a valid business purpose and not to avoid any obligations under this Lease; and (3) in the case of any such assignment, the assignee assumes by a written instrument reasonably acceptable to Landlord, all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease from the Commencement Date; and (4) such assignee at all times during the remainder of the Term remains an Affiliate of Tenant named herein, that in each case such transfer or other transaction is for a valid business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the interest of Tenant under the Lease. Any assignment or transaction which is permitted pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) without Landlord’s consent shall be hereinafter called a Permitted Transaction”. Section 5.02 and Section 5.05 shall not apply to Permitted Transactions provided that Tenant shall comply with the provisions of clauses (1) through (4) above. For the purposes of this Lease, Affiliateshall mean, as to any designated person or entity, (i) any other person or entity which wholly owns Tenant or who wholly owns the entity which wholly owns Tenant (herein, sometimes called a Parent”), or (ii) any person entity which is wholly owned by Tenant, a Parent, or an entity which is wholly owned by Tenant or a Parent. Tenant agrees that notwithstanding any language to the contrary in the Lease or the Exhibits annexed hereto, (I) there shall be no reduction in the Security Deposit during the thirty (30) consecutive day period following the issuance (or sale or transfer) of ownership interests in Tenant or an Affiliate pursuant to an initial public offering (“IPO”) and (ii) if the IPO of Tenant or an Affiliate results in a Tenant whose outstanding shares at any time during the thirty (30) consecutive day period following the IPO shall have a total dollar market value below Two Billion Dollars ($2,000,000,000) (the Minimum Market Cap”), there shall be no reduction in the Security Deposit and Tenant shall increase the amount of the Security Deposit pursuant to Article 10 hereof by way of a modification of the Letter of Credit, by an amount equal to 150% of the then Fixed Rent for the Premises, for the month in which the decrease in the market value occurred (the Additional Security”). The Additional Security may be retained by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 hereof for twelve (12) consecutive months following the IPO. If Tenant reaches the Minimum Market Cap on or after the expiration of such twelve (12) month period and maintains it for six (6) consecutive months, the Security Deposit shall be reduced in accordance with Article 10. If Tenant achieves and maintains the Minimum Market Cap during the thirty (30) consecutive day period following the IPO, then the amount of the Security Deposit shall reduce in accordance with the provisions of Article 10.

Section 5.02 Landlord’s Right of First Offer; Recapture Right.

(a) If Tenant desires to (x) assign this Lease, or (y) sublet all or substantially all of the Premises, or part of the Premises, for all or substantially all of the balance of the Term, Tenant shall give to Landlord notice (“Tenant’s Offer Notice”) thereof, specifying (i) in the case of a proposed subletting, the location of the space to be sublet and the term of the subletting of such space, (ii) (A) in the case of a proposed assignment, Tenant’s good faith offer of the

(b) Tenant’s Offer Notice shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord (or Landlord’s designee) may, at Landlord’s option, (i) terminate this Lease (if the proposed transaction is an assignment or a sublease of all or substantially all of the Premises), or (ii) terminate this Lease with respect to the space covered by the proposed sublease (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of part of the Premises). Said option may only be exercised by Landlord by notice to Tenant within twenty (20) Business Days after a Tenant’s Offer Notice, together with all information required pursuant to Section 5.02(a), has been given by Tenant to Landlord.

(c) If Landlord exercises its option under Section 5.02(b)(i) to terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall terminate on the proposed assignment or sublease commencement date specified in the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice and all Rent shall be paid and apportioned to such date and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other party, except with respect to any obligations expressly stated to survive the Expiration Date, and the restoration obligations of Tenant and the obligations of Landlord with respect to the Security Deposit shall apply as if such termination date of the Lease were the Expiration Date.

(d) Intentionally Omitted.

(e) If Landlord exercises its option under Section 5.02(b)(ii) to terminate this Lease with respect to the space covered by a proposed sublease, then (i) this Lease shall terminate with respect to such part of the Premises on the effective date of the proposed sublease; (ii) from and after such date the Rent and security deposit submitted hereunder shall be adjusted, based upon the proportion that the rentable area of the Premises remaining bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; and (iii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly following Landlord’s written demand, the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in demising separately such part of the Premises and in complying with any Laws relating to such demise.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.02 shall give Tenant any right to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises or enter into any other Transfer (as defined in Section 5.03(a) below) and the same shall require Landlord’s consent to the extent required pursuant to Section 5.01.

Section 5.03 Assignment and Subletting Procedures.

(a) If (y) Tenant delivers to Landlord a Tenant’s Offer Notice with respect to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises (as set forth in Section 5.02(a)), and related to such Tenant’s Offer Notice, (i) Landlord shall have elected not to exercise its right of first offer under Section 5.02, or the twenty (20) Business Day period within

If (I) Landlord does not timely exercise its option under Section 5.02 with respect to Tenant’s Offer Notice relating to such Transfer, or (II) Landlord’s right of first offer under Section 5.02 shall not be applicable, then, in each event, Landlord’s consent to the proposed Transfer shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that:

(i) To the extent the terms of Section 5.02 shall be applicable with respect to such Transfer, such Transfer Notice shall be delivered to Landlord within nine (9) months after the delivery to Landlord of the applicable Tenant’s Offer Notice, failing which Tenant shall be obligated to again comply with the provisions of Section 5.02. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Tenant may send a Transfer Notice simultaneously with the Tenant’s Offer Notice to which it relates and (ii) the twenty (20) Business Day period set forth in Section 5.01(b) may run concurrently with the twenty (20) Business Day period set forth below in this Section 5.04(i).

(iv) If Landlord has comparable space available or coming available in the next six (6) months, neither the proposed assignee or sublessee, is then an occupant of any part of the Building.

(v) If Landlord has comparable space available or coming available in the next six (6) months, the proposed assignee or sublessee is not a person with whom Landlord is then negotiating or has within the prior six (6) months negotiated to lease space in the Building.

(viii) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, promptly following Landlord’s written demand, as Additional Rent, for any reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection with said assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and legal costs incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent.

(ix) The assignment or sublease shall not permit further assignments or subleases from assignee or subtenant except in compliance with this Article 5.

(b) If Landlord consents to a proposed assignment or sublease and Tenant fails to execute and deliver the assignment or sublease to which Landlord consented within one hundred twenty (120) days after the giving of such consent, then Tenant shall again comply with this Article 5 before assigning this Lease or subletting all or part of the Premises.

Section 5.04 General Provisions.

(a) If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee. If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet or occupied by any person or entity other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, and expiration of Tenant’s time to cure such default as set forth in this Lease, collect rent from the subtenant or occupant so long as such default remains uncured. In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount collected against Rent, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 5.01(a), or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

(b) No assignment of this Lease or other Transfer shall be effective until the assignee delivers to Landlord (i) evidence that the assignee, as Tenant hereunder, has complied with the requirements of Section 7.02 and Section 7.03, and (ii) agreement in form and substance approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, pursuant to which the assignee assumes Tenant’s obligations under this Lease accruing from and after the date of assignment or in the case of an assignment to an Affiliate or Successor, from and after the Commencement Date.

(c) Notwithstanding any assignment of this Lease or the acceptance of any Rent by Landlord from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the Named Tenant and each successor Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the Rent and the performance of all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease. The joint and several liability of Tenant and any immediate or remote successor-in interest of Tenant shall not be discharged, released or impaired in any respect by any agreement made by Landlord extending the time to perform, or otherwise

 

48


modifying, any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

(d) Each subletting by Tenant shall be subject to the following:

(i) No subletting shall be for a term (including any renewal or extension options contained in the sublease) ending later than one day prior to the Expiration Date and no subletting shall commence during the final twelve (12) months of the Term.

(ii) No sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, until there has been delivered to Landlord, both (A) an executed counterpart of such sublease, and (B) a certificate of insurance evidencing that (x) Landlord is an additional insured under the insurance policies required to be maintained by occupants of the Premises pursuant to clauses (i) and (iv) of Section 7.02(a), and (y) there is in full force and effect, the insurance otherwise required by Section 7.02.

(iii) Each sublease shall provide, among other things, that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease, and that in the event of termination, reentry or dispossess by Landlord under this Lease Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be liable for, subject to or bound by any item of the type that a Successor Landlord is not so liable for, subject to or bound by in the case of an attornment by Tenant to a Successor Landlord under Section 6.01(a).

(e) Each assignment and sublease shall, among other things, provide that the subtenant may not assign its rights thereunder or further sublet the space demised under the sublease, in whole or in part except in compliance with this Article 5.

(f) Tenant shall not publicly advertise the availability of the Premises or any portion thereof as sublet space or by way of an assignment of this Lease, without first obtaining Landlord’s consent which shall be granted or denied in Landlord’s sole discretion, provided however Tenant may list the availability of the Premises with brokers without Landlord’s consent.

(g) The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the door of the Premises, the building directory or otherwise, shall not be deemed to vest any right or interest in the named party in this Lease or the Premises nor shall it be deemed Landlord’s consent to any assignment of this Lease, sublease of the Premises, or to the use or occupancy thereof by others.

(h) Any then-existing guarantor shall deliver to Landlord such agreements as Landlord may reasonably require confirming such guarantor’s continuing liability under its guaranty of this Lease, but no failure to execute or deliver such documents shall impair such guarantor’s continuing liability under such guaranty in accordance with the terms of such guaranty.

In the event that Landlord does not respond to a request by Tenant to a consent to an assignment or sublease or other Transfer by either granting or denying such consent within twenty (20) days of receipt of Tenant’s request therefor, Tenant shall have the right to give a second notice to Landlord requesting such consent, and if Landlord does not respond to such second notice within five (5) Business Days after receipt of same by either granting or denying such consent, Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved such request.

Tenant shall notify Landlord of any such desk sharing arrangement that results in a profit to Tenant in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 5.06 hereof and Tenant shall respond to inquiries made by Landlord from time to time as to desk sharing arrangements that are then in effect. All acts, omissions and operations of Service Entities shall be deemed acts, omissions and operations of Tenant solely with respect to Tenant’s obligations to Landlord under this Lease. “Service Entities” shall mean (i) persons or entities which are engaged as a material portion of their business in providing services to Tenant in connection with the customary conduct of Tenant’s business at the Premises or otherwise have a substantial ongoing business relationship with Tenant; (ii) persons or entities with which Tenant has entered into outsourcing arrangements for the conduct of certain functions at the Premises which are permitted by this Lease (for example, mailroom, data center, medical office, cafeteria and other special purpose functions permitted by this Lease); (iii) person or entities operating a family office related to holders of equity interests in Tenant; and (iv) persons or entities operating a not-for-profit organization; provided that persons or entities occupying pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) above shall not occupy in the aggregate more than 25,000 rentable square feet in the Premises.

Section 5.07 Eligible Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Lease, including, without limitation,
Section 5.04(d)(iii), Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant’s request, accompanied by an executed counterpart of an “Eligible Sublease” (as hereinafter defined), deliver to the subtenant under an Eligible Sublease (herein called an “Eligible Subtenant”) a Recognition Agreement on Landlord’s then standard form therefore with such negotiated revisions as may be reasonably acceptable to the Eligible Subtenant, Tenant and Landlord.

ARTICLE 6

SUBORDINATION; DEFAULT; INDEMNITY

Section 6.01 Subordination.

(a) This Lease is subject and subordinate to each mortgage and each underlying lease which may now or hereafter affect all or any portion of the Project or any interest therein and to any amendment, modification, supplement, consolidation, renewal or extension thereof. provided that such subordination of this Lease and Tenant’s rights hereunder to any future lease or mortgage shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s receipt of a fully executed Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment Agreement ( “SNDA”) between Tenant and the holder of any such future lease or mortgage on the then customary form of such holder, which form shall in all events expressly recognize Tenant’s offset right with respect to any unfunded Tenant improvement allowance funds pursuant to this Lease. In confirmation of any subordination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument, that Landlord, 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 a “Superior Lease” and the lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest, at the time referred to, is herein called a “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 a “Superior Mortgagee”. Tenant shall execute any amendment of this Lease reasonably requested by a Superior Mortgagee or a Superior Lessor, provided such amendment shall not (A) reduce or extend the Term, (B) increase the Rent, (C) reduce the area of the Premises, (D) result in an increase in Tenant’s obligations or an increase in the rights of any Landlord, Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee under this Lease except in each instance to a de minimis extent, or (E) a reduction in the rights of Tenant or the obligations of any Landlord, Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee under this Lease, except to a de minimis extent. In the event of the enforcement by a Superior Mortgagee of the remedies provided for by law or by such Superior Mortgage, or in the event of the termination or expiration of a Superior Lease, Tenant, upon request of such Superior Mortgagee, Superior Lessor or any person succeeding to the interest of such mortgagee or lessor ( each, a “Successor Landlord”), shall automatically become the tenant of such Successor Landlord without change in the terms or provisions of this Lease (it being understood that Tenant shall, if requested, enter into a new lease on terms identical to those in this Lease); provided, that subject to the terms of any superseding SNDA, any Successor Landlord shall not be (i) except for defaults of a continuing nature which continue after the date Tenant becomes the tenant of the Successor Landlord, liable for any act, omission or default of any prior landlord (including, without

 

52


limitation, Landlord); (ii) liable for the return of any monies paid to or on deposit with any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord), except to the extent such monies or deposits are delivered to such Successor Landlord; (iii) subject to any offset, or claims or defense that Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord); (iv) bound by any Rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month or other relevant payment period to any prior landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord) unless actually received by such Successor Landlord and/or such payment shall have been approved by such Successor Landlord in writing; (v) bound by any covenant to perform or complete any construction in connection with the Project or the Premises or to pay any sums to Tenant in connection therewith; or (vi) bound by an amendment, modification, abridgment, cancellation or surrender of, this Lease made without the consent of such Successor Landlord. Promptly following written request by such Successor Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments, reasonably requested by such Successor Landlord, confirming the attornment provided for herein, but no such instrument shall be necessary to make such attornment effective.

(b) If Tenant intends to terminate this Lease on the basis of a Landlord default (other than with respect to express termination rights under this Lease), Tenant shall give each Superior Mortgagee and each Superior Lessor a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord on the basis of which default Tenant is entitled to terminate this Lease (excluding any express termination rights under this Lease), provided that Tenant has been notified of the address of such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor. If Landlord fails to cure any default as to which Tenant is obligated to give notice pursuant to the preceding sentence within the time provided for in this Lease, then each such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall have an additional ninety (90) days after receipt of such notice within which to cure such default or if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be reasonably necessary if, within such ninety (90) days, any such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, without limitation, commencement of foreclosure proceedings or eviction proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated on the basis of such default (other than with respect to express termination rights under this Lease) while such remedies are being so diligently pursued. Nothing herein shall be deemed to imply that Tenant has any right to terminate this Lease or any other right or remedy, except as may be otherwise expressly provided for in this Lease.

(c) Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, there are no Superior Mortgagees or Superior Lessors or other holders of instruments encumbering the Building other than Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance. Landlord shall promptly after the date hereof provide to Tenant the Apollo SNDA in the form annexed as Exhibit J.

Section 6.02 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees, at any time from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant receives notice from Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord, or Landlord’s designee, an estoppel certificate reasonably requested by Landlord, stating that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect ( or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), certifying the Commencement Date, Expiration Date and the dates to which the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent have been paid and stating whether or not, to Tenant’s actual knowledge,

 

53


Landlord is in default in performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default, it being intended that any such statement shall be deemed a representation and warranty to be relied upon by the party to whom such statement is addressed (including, without limitation, any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of any portion of the Project that includes the Premises or any prospective assignee of any such mortgagee). Tenant also shall include or confirm in any such statement such other information concerning this Lease as Landlord, Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor may reasonably request.

Section 6.03 Default. This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation that (each, an “Event of Default”):

(a) if Tenant defaults in the payment of any Rent and such default continues for seven (7) Business Days after Landlord gives to Tenant a written notice specifying such default (provided that the foregoing notice and grace period shall not apply with respect to payments of Fixed Rent or recurring Additional Rent hereof in the event Landlord has properly sent one (1) notice of failure to pay any Fixed Rent or recurring Additional Rent hereof when due in any twelve (12) month period), or

Section 6.05 Damages. If this Lease is terminated under Section 6.03, or if Landlord re-enters the Premises under Section 6.04, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either:

 

55


(a) a sum which, at the time of such termination, represents the then present value (using a discount rate of 6%)) of the excess, if any, of (1) the aggregate of the Fixed Rent which, had this Lease not terminated, would have been payable hereunder by Tenant for the period commencing on the day following the date of such termination or re-entry to and including the Expiration Date over (2) the aggregate fair rental value of the Premises for the same period, or

(b) sums equal to the Rent that would have been payable by Tenant through and including the Expiration Date had this Lease not terminated or had Landlord not re-entered the Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified in this Lease; provided, that if Landlord shall re let (without obligation to do so) all or any part of the Premises for all or any part of the period commencing on the day following the date of such termination or re-entry to and including the Expiration Date or collect any rent from Tenant’s subtenants or licensees, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting and/or collection, such net reletting rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the actual, reasonable expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease and of re-entering the Premises and of securing possession thereof, as well as the actual expenses of reletting in each case to the extent of the remainder of the Term, including, without limitation, altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, and all other expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom in connection with such reletting, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period equal to or shorter or longer than said period; provided, further, that (i) in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, (ii) in no event shall Tenant be entitled, in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Section 6.05(b), to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord prior to the disposition of such suit, (iii) if the Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot rentable area basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting and (iv) Landlord shall have no obligation to so relet the Premises and Tenant hereby waives any right Tenant may have, at law or in equity, to require Landlord to so relet the Premises.

(c) Suit or suits for the recovery of any damages payable hereunder by Tenant, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired but for such termination or re-entry.

Section 6.06 Other Remedies. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, during the continuation of any default by Tenant beyond the expiration of any applicable cure periods, Tenant shall not be entitled to receive any funds or proceeds being held under this Lease subject however to the provisions of Section 10.02 hereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, the specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be

 

56


entitled, and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for in connection with any holding over by Tenant as provided in Section 6.10 hereof, in no event will Tenant be liable to Landlord for consequential, exemplary, special or punitive damages which may be incurred by Landlord under this Lease (including, without limitation, lost profits and loss of business) and in no event shall Tenant be liable for acceleration of rent, except as provided in Section 6.05(a).

The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled, and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for.

Section 6.08 Certain Waivers. Tenant waives and surrenders all right and privilege that Tenant might have under or by reason of any present or future law to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after Tenant is dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after any termination of this Lease. Tenant also waives the provisions of any law relating to delay in levy of execution in case of any eviction or dispossession for nonpayment of rent, and the provisions of any successor or other law of like import. Landlord and Tenant each waive trial by jury in any action in connection with this Lease.

Section 6.09 No Waiver. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, failure by either party to declare any default immediately upon its occurrence or delay in taking any action in connection with such default shall not waive such default but such party shall have the right to declare any such default at any time thereafter. Any amounts paid by either party (“Paying Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”) may be applied by the Receiving Party, to any items then owing by the Paying Party to the Receiving Party under this Lease. Tender by the Paying Party and receipt by the Receiving Party of a partial payment shall not be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction (notwithstanding any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment) nor shall tender constitute a waiver by the Paying Party of the Paying Party’s dispute as to its obligations to make payment nor shall such receipt constitute a waiver by the Receiving Party of the Paying Party’s obligation to make full payment. Except in connection with express Tenant termination rights under this Lease, no act or thing done by Landlord or its agents shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord and by each Superior Lessor and Superior Mortgagee whose lease or mortgage provides that any such surrender may not be accepted without its consent.

Section 6.10 Holding Over. If Tenant holds over in the Premises without the consent of Landlord after the Expiration Date, the parties herby agree that Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises after the expiration of the term shall be under a month to month tenancy commencing on the first day after the expiration of the applicable term, which tenancy shall be upon all of the terms set forth in the Lease except that (a) Tenant shall pay for each month or portion thereof of

 

57


the holdover period, an amount (to be prorated for partial months during the holdover period based on the actual number of days in such month) equal to (1) Fixed Rent for the entire Premises in the following amounts: (x) for the first thirty (30) days (or prorated portion thereof) of such holdover, one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Fixed Rent for the entire Premises (y) for the next thirty (30) days (or prorated portion thereof), one hundred fifty percent ( 150%) of the Fixed Rent for the entire Premises and (z) for each month thereafter ( or portion thereof), two hundred percent (200%) of the Fixed Rent for the entire Premises, which in each case Tenant was obligated to pay for the month immediately preceding such Expiration Date, and (2) all Additional Rent for the entire Premises which is attributable to each month of the holdover tenancy (to be prorated for partial months during the holdover period based on the actual number of days in such month) ; and (b) if Tenant holds over for more than sixty (60) days, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all actual and consequential damages, including without limitation (1) any payment or rent concession which Landlord shall be required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises (a “New Tenant”) by reason of the late delivery of space to the New Tenant as a result of Tenant’s holding over for more than sixty (60) days or in order to induce such New Tenant not to terminate its lease by reason of the holding over by Tenant for more than sixty (60) days, (2) the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any New Tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding over by Tenant for more than sixty (60) days and (3) any claim for damages by any New Tenant. No holding over by Tenant after the Term shall operate to extend the Term. The acceptance of any rent paid by Tenant pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall not preclude Landlord from commencing and prosecuting a holdover summary eviction proceeding.

Section 6.11 Attorneys’ Fees. If either party brings action or proceeding for relief against the other, declaratory or otherwise, arising out of this Lease, including any suit or proceeding by Landlord for the recovery of Rent and/or possession of the Premises, and a final, non-appealable judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction is rendered in any such action or proceeding, the non-prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall pay the prevailing party its reasonable costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with and in preparation for said action or proceeding, including its reasonable attorneys’ fees. Further, in the event any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding is commenced involving Tenant, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and court costs incurred in connection with the assertion and prosecution by Landlord of a claim in any such bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding to recover Rent and/or possession of the Premises.

(b) If all or part of the Premises shall be rendered untenantable by reason of a Casualty, the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent under Sections 2.02, 2.01 and Section 2.04(a) shall be abated in the proportion that the untenantable area of the Premises bears to the total area of the Premises, for the period from the date of the Casualty to the earlier of (i) the date that

 

64


Landlord’s Restoration Work is substantially completed, (provided, that if Landlord’s Restoration Work would have been substantially completed at an earlier date but for Tenant having failed to cooperate with Landlord in effecting repairs or restoration or collecting insurance proceeds, then the Landlord’s Restoration Work shall be deemed to have been substantially completed on such earlier date and the abatement shall cease) or (ii) the date Tenant or any subtenant reoccupies a portion of the Premises for the purpose of the commencement of Tenant’s or such subtenant’s restoration of its improvements in the Premises (in which case the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion shall be payable by Tenant from the day following the date of such occupancy).

(c) If by reason of a Casualty (i) the Building shall be totally damaged or destroyed, (ii) the Building shall be so damaged or destroyed (whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed) that repair or restoration shall require more than three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of the Casualty or the expenditure of more than forty percent (40%) of the full insurable value of the Building (which, for purposes of this Section 7.05(c), shall mean replacement cost less the cost of footings, foundations and other structures below the street and first floors of the Building) immediately prior to the Casualty and Landlord shall have simultaneously terminate leases covering no less than 75% of space in the Building (including the Premises, as set forth below in this Section 7.05(c)), then in any such case Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice given to Tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days after the Casualty.

(d) Landlord shall not carry any insurance on Tenant’s Property, or Tenant’s Improvements and Betterments and shall not be obligated to repair or replace Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s Improvements and Betterments. Tenant shall look to its insurance for recovery of any damage to or loss of Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s Improvements and Betterments. Tenant shall notify Landlord promptly of any Casualty in the Premises after becoming aware thereof.

(e) If, by reason of a Casualty, more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises shall be damaged or access to the Premises shall be materially damaged and rendered substantially unusable, and provided Landlord has not otherwise elected to terminate this Lease as provided herein, then Landlord, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the date of such Casualty, shall deliver to Tenant a written statement prepared by a reputable contractor setting forth such contractor’s estimate as to the time required to substantially complete the Landlord’s Restoration Work. If the estimated time period exceeds three hundred sixty (360) days from the date of such Casualty, Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to the other within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of such statement (time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s giving of such termination notice). If Landlord or Tenant timely gives such notice, the Term shall expire upon thirty (30) days after such notice is given by Tenant, and Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. If each of Landlord and Tenant fails timely to deliver such notice as aforesaid, each shall be deemed to have waived its right to give such termination notice and shall have no further right to terminate this Lease under this Section 7.05(e) except to the extent set forth below. Except as set forth below in this Section 7.05(e), if Landlord fails to substantially complete the restoration within three hundred sixty (360) days from the date of such Casualty (or such later date set forth in such estimate for restoration), subject to extension by reason of Force Majeure or Tenant Delay, then Tenant shall have the

 

65


option of terminating this Lease at any time thereafter (but prior to Landlord substantially completing the restoration) by written notice to Landlord, whereupon the Term shall expire thirty (30) days after such notice is given by Tenant, and Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, if, by written notice given during the sixty (60) day period immediately preceding the expiration of the aforesaid three hundred sixty (360) day period, Landlord informs Tenant that such restoration will not be completed prior to the expiration of the three hundred sixty (360) day period, but anticipates completion of such restoration within thirty (30) days thereafter (herein, the Restoration Extension Period”), each of Landlord and Tenant shall not have the right to exercise its termination right, as aforesaid, until after the expiration of the Restoration Extension Period (provided Tenant exercises such termination right, in any event, prior to Landlord substantially completing the restoration).

(f) This Section 7.05 shall be deemed an express agreement governing any damage or destruction of the Premises by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the New York Real Property Law providing for such a contingency in the absence of an express agreement, and any other law of like import now or hereafter in force, shall have no application.

Section 8.18 No Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any memorandum thereof and any attempt to do so shall be deemed to be a default hereunder.

72


renew, together with so much of the Lower Level Premises as Tenant shall elect to renew; or (ii) the highest full floor of the Premises and then including the next then progressively contiguous full floor(s) below the highest full floor as Tenant shall elect to renew in accordance herewith together with so many of the then contiguous partial floors forming part of the Premises that Tenant shall elect to renew, together with so much of the Lower Level Premises as Tenant shall elect to renew. In no event may the Renewal Premises be comprised of a part of a full floor then leased to Tenant hereunder.

(b) The Renewal Option may only be exercised by Tenant by giving notice to Landlord (the “Renewal Notice”) at least eighteen (18) months before the last day of the initial Term as to whether it is exercising the Ten Year Option or the Five Year Option and specifying the Renewal Premises. Time is of the essence with respect to the giving of the Renewal Notice. If Tenant shall send the Renewal Notice, the renewal term it elects shall hereinafter be called the “Renewal Term”.

Section 9.02 Renewal Rent and Other Terms.

(a) The Renewal Term shall be upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, except that (i) the Fixed Rent shall be as determined pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.02; (ii) Tenant shall accept the Renewal Premises in its “as is” condition at the commencement of the Renewal Term, and Landlord shall not be required to perform any work or improvements to the Renewal Premises, to pay any tenant improvement allowance or any other amount or to render any services to make the Renewal Premises ready for Tenant’s continued use and occupancy or to provide any abatement of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, in each case with respect to the Renewal Term; (iii) unless Tenant shall have elected the Five Year Option, Tenant shall have no option to renew this Lease beyond the expiration of the Renewal Term; (iv) the rentable square foot area of the Renewal Premises shall be calculated using then current market loss factors for buildings in Manhattan comparable to the Building, and (v) the Base Tax Amount shall be the amount of Taxes paid during the last Tax Year of the initial Term and (v) the Base Operating Amount shall be the amount of Operating Expenses paid during the last Operating Year of the initial Term.

(b) The annual Fixed Rent for the Premises for the Renewal Term in question shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Rent as of the date that is three (3) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term.

Tenant shall notify Landlord (“Tenant’s Notice”), within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Rent Notice, whether Tenant accepts or disputes Landlord’s Determination, and if Tenant disputes Landlord’s Determination, Tenant’s Notice shall set forth Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rent. If Tenant fails to give Tenant’s Notice within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s Determination.

 

73


(d) If Tenant timely disputes Landlord’s Determination and Landlord and Tenant fail to agree as to the Fair Market Rent within twenty-five (25) days after the giving of Tenant’s Notice, then the Fair Market Rent shall be determined as follows. The party requesting arbitration shall do so by giving notice to that effect to the other party, specifying in said notice the nature of the dispute, and that said dispute shall be determined in the City of New York. Landlord and Tenant shall each select a reputable qualified, licensed real estate broker having an office in New York County with at least fifteen (15) years’ experience in evaluating midtown Manhattan commercial property and who is familiar with the rentals then being charged in the Building and in comparable buildings and areas (respectively, “Landlord’s Broker” and “Tenant’s Broker”) who shall confer promptly after their selection by Landlord and Tenant and shall attempt to agree upon the Fair Market Rent. If Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker cannot reach agreement within sixty (60) days after their selection, then within thirty (30) days after the lapse of such sixty (60) day period , they shall designate a third reputable, licensed real estate broker having an office in New York County with at least ten (10) years’ experience in evaluating midtown Manhattan commercial property and who is familiar with the rentals then being charged in the Building and in comparable buildings and areas (the “Independent Broker”). Upon the failure of Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker to timely agree upon the designation of the Independent Broker, then the Independent Broker shall be appointed by the President of the Real Estate Board of New York. The Independent Broker shall not be an individual who had represented Landlord or Tenant as a broker nor been employed by either Landlord or Tenant within the five (5) year period prior to appointment of the Independent Broker, nor shall the Independent Broker be an individual who had represented Landlord or Tenant in the determination of Fair Market Rent in the five (5) year period prior to appointment of Independent Broker. Concurrently with such appointment, Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker shall each submit a letter to the Independent Broker, with a copy to Landlord and Tenant, setting forth such broker’s estimate of the Fair Market Rent (respectively, “Landlord’s Broker’s Letter” and “Tenant’s Broker’s Letter”).

(e) The Independent Broker shall conduct such investigations and hearings as he or she may deem appropriate and shall, within sixty (60) days after the date of his or her designation, choose either the rental set forth in Landlord’s Broker’s Letter or Tenant’s Broker’s Letter to be the Fair Market Rent during the Renewal Term and such choice shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fees and expenses of its respective broker. The fees and expenses of the Independent Broker shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. The arbitrators shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of this Lease. After a determination has been made of the Fair Market Rent, the parties shall execute and deliver an instrument amending and modifying this Lease setting forth the Fair Market Rent, but the failure to so execute and deliver any such instrument shall not affect the determination of Fair Market Rent

(f) If Tenant disputes Landlord’s Determination and if the final determination of Fair Market Rent shall not be made on or before the first day of the Renewal Term, then, pending such final determination, Tenant shall pay, as Fixed Rent for the Renewal Term, the Fixed Rent then in effect during the last month of the initial Term. If, based upon the final determination of the Fair Market Rent, the Fixed Rent payments made by Tenant for such portion of the Renewal Term were (i) less than the Fixed Rent payable for the Renewal Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days after demand

 

74


therefor or (ii) greater than the Fixed Rent payable for the Renewal Term, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against future installments of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent payable by Tenant.

Section 9.03 Second Renewal Term Five Year Option Renewal Term. If Tenant shall have elected the Five Year Option, then provided that on the date Tenant exercises the Second Renewal Option and at the commencement of the Second Renewal Term (i) this Lease shall not have been terminated, (ii) the Tenant meets the Renewal Term Requirements, and (iii) Tenant shall not be in a continuing default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease for the then-applicable Renewal Premises for one additional five (5) year period (the Second Renewal Term”) to commence at the expiration of the Renewal Term.

ARTICLE 11

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

Section 11.01 Right of First Offer.

(a) Provided that at the time of such exercise (1) Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and/or cure periods, (2) this Lease is in full force and effect, (3) the Named Tenant leases the entire Premises initially demised hereunder and occupies at least 75% of the initially demised Premises, and (4) there shall be at least forty-eight (48) full calendar months remaining in the Term or, if less than forty-eight (48) full calendar months then remain in the Term, then so long as Tenant shall exercise its Renewal Option together with its acceptance of a ROFO Offer in accordance with the terms of this Lease, this clause (4) shall be deemed to be satisfied for purposes hereof (collectively, the “ROFO Conditions”), then if at any time any space on the second (2nd) through ninth (9th) floors or the eleventh (11th) and twelfth (12th) floors of the Building (the “ROFO Floors”) becomes “available for leasing” or is anticipated to become “available for leasing”, Landlord shall (i) so notify Tenant (a “ROFO Notice”) offering Tenant the option to lease the Offered Space in accordance with the terms hereof for a term that shall be co-terminus with the Term of this Lease and at a Fixed Rate Rent equal to the Fair Market Rent for the Offered Space, (ii) identify the space available (the “Offered Space”), (iii) set forth the date (the “Delivery Date”) on which Landlord reasonably anticipates the Offered Space can be delivered to Tenant in accordance herewith and leased pursuant to the exercise by Tenant of its rights under this Section 11.01, (iv) set forth the Fair Market Rent for the Offered Space reasonably determined in good-faith by Landlord as of the date of the ROFO Notice; and (v) describe the condition in which the Offered Space will be upon delivery to Tenant (the “ROFO Offer”). Tenant shall, within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the ROFO Notice, by written notice (the “ROFO Election Notice”), either (I) accept the ROFO Offer (and state in Tenant’s notice whether Tenant accepts the Fair Market Rent specified by Landlord in the ROFO Offer for the Offered Space as of the Accepted Offered Space Inclusion Date (hereinafter defined) for the applicable Offered Space, taking into account all then relevant factors, or, if Tenant does not accept such Fair Market Rent, specify Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rent of the Offered Space), or (II) reject the ROFO Offer, it being understood that Tenant’s failure to respond to the ROFO Offer as aforesaid shall be deemed a rejection thereof. Any election by Tenant to accept or reject the ROFO Offer shall be irrevocable. Tenant’s option to lease Offered Space under this Section 11.01 shall be referred to herein as the “ROFO Option”.

(b) If Tenant accepts a ROFO Offer, Landlord and Tenant shall, as soon as reasonably practical after such election, and subject to the terms of clause (d) below, enter into a commercially reasonable amendment to this Lease adding the applicable Offered Space (the “Accepted Offered Space”) to the Premises for a term commencing on the Accepted Offered Space Inclusion Date and co-terminus with the Term of this Lease and otherwise incorporating the terms contained in the applicable ROFO Notice (or if Tenant does not accept the Fair Market Rent specified by Landlord in any ROFO Offer, then such commercially reasonable amendment

 

78


shall be entered into by Landlord and Tenant as soon as reasonably practical after the date of the determination of the Fair Market Rent of such Offered Space as provided in this Section 11.01). Tenant may only accept the entirety of the space offered in the applicable ROFO Offer and shall have no right to accept only a portion thereof. If Tenant accepts the ROFO Offer, the Accepted Offered Space shall be delivered vacant, free of tenancies, broom clean, with all of the Building Systems servicing the Accepted Offered Space up to the point of connection of localized distribution in good working order, and in its otherwise then “as is” condition without representation or warranty by Landlord (the date of such delivery, the “Accepted Offered Space Inclusion Date”). Except as otherwise may be expressly provided for in the ROFO Offer, Landlord shall have no obligation to remove improvements made to the Accepted Offered Space prior to delivery to Tenant, whether or not made by Landlord, nor shall Landlord have any obligation to prepare the Accepted Offered Space for Tenant’s occupancy; and any work necessary to connect the Accepted Offered Space to the Premises shall be Tenant’s responsibility at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Effective as of the Accepted Offered Space Inclusion Date, (I) for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Operating Payments and Tenant’s Tax Payments attributable to the Accepted Offered Space, (w) the Base Operating Year shall be the calendar year in which occurs the Accepted Offered Space Inclusion Date, (x) the Base Tax Amount shall be the Taxes, as finally determined, for the Tax Year in which occurs the Accepted Offered Space Inclusion Date, and (y) Tenant’s Share attributable to the Accepted Offered Space shall be calculated based on the rentable square footage of the Accepted Offered Space and (II) Tenant shall be entitled to an increased amount of condenser water and riser space to service the Accepted Offer Space equal to the lesser of (A) the proportional share thereof attributable to the Accepted Offer Space (based on the rentable square footage of the Accepted Offer Space and the rentable footage of the Building) or (B) the amount thereof then available for use in the Accepted Offer Space. If Tenant accepts the ROFO Offer, a Replacement Letter shall be furnished increasing the amount of the Letter of Credit by an amount equal to the product of (i) the amount of the Letter of Credit that Tenant is then required to provide under this Lease (taking into account any reduction thereto that Tenant may be entitled to pursuant to Section 10.04) divided by the monthly installment of Fixed Rent at the initial rate applicable under this Lease, and (ii) the monthly installment of Fixed Rent at the initial rate under this Lease for the applicable Offered Space.

(c) As used in this Section 11.01, the term “available for leasing” shall mean that Landlord reasonably anticipates that the Offered Space shall be available for Tenant to lease in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.01 after the expiration or earlier termination of the initial lease with respect to such Offered Space (it being agreed and understood that the space on the ROFO Floor that is vacant and not under lease as of the date hereof shall not be considered “available for leasing” unless and until such space is initially leased, whether the same shall occur before or after the date of execution of this Lease, and such initial lease shall expire or earlier terminate). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s rights under this Section 11.01 shall be subject and subordinate to (A) any fixed expansion option (i.e., an option to lease specified space as of a specified date or within a specified window of time) granted by Landlord prior to or after the date hereof to a tenant of space in the Building, and (B) the renewal or extension of any occupancy of a tenant of space in the Building comprising (x) less than a full floor of the Building pursuant to a renewal option contained in such tenant’s lease or (y) one full floor or more of the Building, whether or not pursuant to the exercise of an option or right set forth in such tenant’s lease.

 

79


(d) If, within sixty (60) days after receipt of the ROFO Notice, Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement on the determination of the Fair Market Rent to be paid by Tenant for the applicable Offered Space, then either Landlord or Tenant shall initiate the arbitration proceedings for such determination by notice to the other. Fair Market Rent for any Offered Space shall be determined in the same fashion as Fair Market Rent for the Premises during a Renewal Term as determined pursuant to Section 9.02(d) (other than the introductory clause thereof).

(e) If, pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 11.01, the Fair Market Rent for such Offered Space has not been determined as of the actual Accepted Offered Space Inclusion Date thereof, Tenant shall pay on account of Fixed Rent for such Accepted Offered Space Landlord’s determination thereof until such final determination is made, with necessary adjustments between Landlord and Tenant to be made retroactively, by credit against the next installment(s) of Fixed Rent becoming due with respect to such Accepted Offered Space, after a final determination of the Fair Market Rent of such Offered Space as provided in this Section 11.01. Fixed Rent with respect to the Accepted Offered Space shall commence to be payable on the actual Accepted Offered Space Inclusion Date thereof.

(f) If Landlord fails or is unable to deliver the entire Offered Space to Tenant in accordance herewith on the Delivery Date thereof as a result of the holding over of the prior tenant or for any other reason (other than Landlord’s willful refusal to deliver possession thereof to Tenant after such space has been vacated by the prior tenant thereof), Landlord shall not be subject to any liability whatsoever for such failure or inability to deliver possession, and the exercise of the ROFO Option shall remain effective, but the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall not commence with respect to such Accepted Offered Space until the date on which the same is actually delivered to Tenant; provided that if such delivery does not occur by the date that is twelve (12) months following such Delivery Date, Tenant shall have the option to give Landlord notice that it desires to rescind the ROFO Election Notice with respect to such ROFO Option, and if such Delivery Date does not occur by the date that is thirty (30) days after the date that Tenant gives such rescission notice, Tenant shall be deemed to not have been offered the ROFO Offer with respect to such rescinded space (it being understood that, should such rescinded space subsequently become available, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a ROFO Offer and the rescinded space shall be subject to the terms set forth in this Article 11 as if the same had never been offered to Tenant before under the terms of this Article 11). Landlord will use reasonable efforts to cause the prior tenant to vacate such space on or before the expiration or termination of its lease without holding over (and, if applicable, to minimize the duration of any holding over) including, without limitation, promptly commencing summary dispossess proceedings or reaching an agreement with the existing tenant or occupant which includes a Stipulation of Settlement and a Warrant of Eviction (with a date for such tenant or occupant, as applicable, to vacate that is no later than ninety (90) days following the expiration date of its lease or occupancy agreement).

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Delivery Date for any Offered Space offered to Tenant as provided in this Article 11 is such that, upon the occurrence of the Delivery Date (as set forth in the applicable ROFO Notice) there will be less than forty-eight (48) months remaining in the then-applicable Term, then Landlord shall have no obligation to accept a ROFO Election Notice from Tenant, and Tenant shall be deemed

 

80


for all purposes to have rejected such ROFO Offer, unless Tenant simultaneously with the delivery of such ROFO Election Notice delivers to Landlord the Renewal Notice and effectively exercises the Renewal Option as provided in Article 11 hereof. Without limiting the restrictions set forth under this Lease, Landlord shall not delay the Delivery Date for any reason, including, without limitation, such that upon the occurrence of the Delivery Date there will be less than forty-eight ( 48) months remaining in the then-applicable Term.

(h) Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained herein, if Tenant shall deliver a Contraction Notice to Landlord pursuant to Article 12 hereof, Landlord shall not be obligated to send to Tenant any ROFO Notice with respect to any ROFO Floors and Tenant shall have no rights to lease any Offered Space pursuant to this Article 11, during the period commencing on the delivery of the Contraction Notice and ending twenty-four (24) months thereafter. In no event shall any assignee of this Lease, other than an Affiliate of the Tenant named herein, have any rights to receive a ROFO Notice or to lease any additional space under this Article 11.

(i) In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make any ROFO Offer or enter into any Lease amendment adding any Accepted Offer Space to the Premises if at the applicable time, the ROFO Conditions have not all been met

Section 13.02 First Option. (a) Provided that Tenant meets the Option Criteria, Tenant shall have the right (herein called the First Option”), to be exercised by written notice (herein called Tenant’s First Election Notice”) given to Landlord not later than the date which is thirty (30) days after the date the First Option Designation Notice is sent by Landlord, to add to the Premises the First Option Premises designated by Landlord in such First Option Designation Notice upon the terms hereof and for a term to be co-terminus with the Term of this Lease. Landlord shall send the First Option Designation Notice at least one hundred eighty (180), but not more than three hundred sixty-five (365), days prior to the First Option Premises Delivery Date.

Landlord shall cause the First Option Space Inclusion Date to occur on or prior to the First Option Premises Delivery Date.

C-2-6


The contractor understands that in the event of its noncompliance with the nondiscrimination clauses of this contract or with any of such rules, regulations, or orders, such noncompliance shall constitute a material breach of the contract and noncompliance with the EO #50 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. After a hearing held pursuant to the rules of the DLS, the Director may direct the imposition by the contracting agency head of any or all of the following sanctions:

 

   

Disapproval of character;

 

   

Suspension or termination of the contract;

 

   

Declaring the contractor in default;

 

   

In lieu of any of the foregoing sanctions, the Director may impose an employment program.

The Director of the DLS may recommend to the contracting agency head that a board of responsibility constituted pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Estimate be convened for purposes of declaring a contractor who has repeatedly failed to comply with EO #50 and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder to be non-responsible.

The contractor agrees to include the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs in every subcontract or purchase order in excess of $1,000,000 to which it becomes a party unless exempted by EO #50 and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder, so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontract or purchase order as may be directed by the Director of the Bureau of Labor Services as a means of enforcing such provision including sanctions for noncompliance.

The contractor further agrees that it will refrain from entering into any contract or contract modification subject to EO #50 and the Rules and Regulation promulgated thereunder with a subcontractor who is not in compliance with the requirements of EO #50 and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder.

Special Provisions for Construction Contracts

In addition to the contractual provisions required in 50.30, each contracting agency shall incorporate into every contract for a construction project in excess of $1,000,000 to which it becomes a party the following language (Refer to EO #50 Part C 50.31):

The contractor further agrees that, if required, it shall employ trainees for training level jobs and it shall participate in the on-the-job training programs other than apprenticeship programs which are approved by the DLS and where required by law, the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship Training or the New York State Department of Labor.

EO #50 requires the contractor to make a good faith effort to achieve the ration of one (1) trainee to four (4) journey-level employees of each trade on each construction project, provided that the trainee requirement shall not apply to contract in the amount of $1,000,000 or less. As of the writing of this memorandum, as active trainee program is not available; however, the language and intent of the law remain the same.

 

C-2-7


“Trainee” means an economically disadvantaged person who qualifies for and receives training in one of the construction trades pursuant to a program, other than an apprenticeship program, approved by the DLS and, where required by law, the New York State Department of Labor and the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training.

The contractor shall be considered to employ four (4) journey-level employees in a particular trade when s(he) employs any number of journey level employees in that craft whose aggregate work hours equal the number of hours four ( 4) full time journey level employees would have worked in a work week as defined by the prevailing practice in the industry for the particular craft, i.e., 40 hours, 37 1/4 hours, 35 hours, etc. For example, in a craft where there is a forty-hour (50 work weeks, the employment of four (4) journey-level employees which result in 160 hours of employment (4 x 40). Hence, any number of journey-level employee results in 160 hours of work is considered for purposes of the entraining program to equal four ( 4) journey-level employees, i.e., three (3) journey-level employees who work 53 1/3 hours (3 x 53 1/3 = 160), etc.

The training requirement shall not apply to any trade in which the employment of four (4) or more journey level employees and the trainee shall be for less than four ( 4) consecutive weeks; provided, that four (4) weeks shall mean four (4) weeks of full-time work as defined by the prevailing practice in the industry for the particular craft, i.e., 160 hours (4 weeks x 35 hours), etc.

The contractor shall attempt to provide continuous employment for trainees after the completion of the contract to enable them to complete their course of training.

Union contractors shall refer, recommend and sponsor for union membership any of their trainees who can perform the duties of a qualified journey-level employee or who have satisfactorily completed the training program. Such former trainees shall be paid full journey-level wages and fringe benefits, whether or not union membership is granted after such referral, recommendation or sponsorship, and the contractor shall attempt to continue the employment of such persons.

In the event of a failure to provide training to the required number of trainees for the required number of weeks, the contractor’s compensation shall be decreased by an amount equal to the difference between the wages and the fringe benefits paid by the contractor to the trainees and the wages and fringe benefits which would have been paid to the trainees had the number and duration of the positions been as required unless the contractor can demonstrate that it made a good faith effort to provide training and was unsuccessful. The wages and fringes deducted will be whatever a first-term trainee would have received under the prevailing wage schedule in effect at the time the trainees should have been employed.

A good faith effort includes at least:

 

1.

Documented efforts to secure trainees from approved training programs; and

 

C-2-8


2.

Documented outreach efforts to New York State Employment Service, Department of Employment, TAP Centers, community and civil rights groups to identify candidates for training positions and sponsorship of those persons by the contractor for entrance into an approved training program; and

 

3.

Written notification to the DLS that the contractor has been unable to secure trainees pursuant to subsections (I) and (II) above and requesting the DLS’s assistance in securing trainees; provided, that neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement to recognize the validity of the training program shall be excuse the contractor’s obligation to provide training pursuant to EO #50 and these regulations.

To demonstrate its good faith effort, the contractor may at its option supply documentation concerning its employment of trainees on all its construction sites, both City and non-City funded. DLS will review this documentation as part of its analysis to determine whether the contractor made a good faith effort.

The contractor will also include the training provisions of this section in every subcontract in excess of $1,000,000 to which it becomes a party unless exempted by EO #50 and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder so that such provisions will be binding upon each subcontractor. The contractor will take such actions with respect to any subcontract as the DLS may direct as a means of enforcing such provisions, including sanctions for noncompliance. The contractor further agrees that it will assist and cooperate with the requirements of EO #50 and the Rules and Regulations promulgated thereunder, and it will furnish the DLS with information necessary for supervision of such compliance.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY

[INSERT COMPANY’S NAME] prohibits employee discrimination of any kind, including sexual harassment by employees, managers, vendors and customers. Sexual Harassment is defined as any harassment based on a person’s sex, such as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature, including offensive remarks about a person’s gender. Both males and females can be victims of sexual harassment. Prohibited behavior includes any behavior that creates an offensive work environment (Hostile Environment) or that results in an adverse employment decision such as the victim being fired or demoted (Quid pro Quo). Some examples include:

 

   

A manager threatening a bad performance review if an employee doesn’t go on a date with her;

 

   

An employee reporting that her co-worker suggestively brushed up against her while she was working;

 

   

A customer answering the door naked asking the serviceman to come upstairs;

Complaints of harassment will be documented and investigated as soon as possible, and a resolution provided to the victim in writing within 60 days. Insofar as possible, complaints will be maintained as confidential to prevent retaliation while the complaint is being researched and/or resolved. In addition, [INSERT COMPANY NAME] prohibits retaliation of any kind against an individual claiming harassment. I have read, understood and agree to abide by this policy.

A copy of this policy is to be provided to the employee. Signed original to be maintained in the personnel file.

WHEREAS, Secured Party, Tenant and Landlord desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Lease and the Security Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Article I. Subordination. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Lease and all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions thereof and the rights of Tenant thereunder is, shall in all respects be, and shall at all times remain, subject and subordinate in all respects to the Security Documents, the liens and security interests granted thereunder and all of the terms, conditions and provisions thereof, and to all advances, re-advances and payments made thereunder and all sums secured thereby. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way impair or affect the liens created by the Security Documents.

Article II. Non-Disturbance. So long as (a) Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods in the payment of rent or additional rent or in the performance or observance of any of the other terms, covenants, provisions or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed and (b) the Lease remains in full force and effect, Secured Party will not (i) diminish or interfere with Tenant’s possession of the Premises, and Tenant’s rights and privileges under the Lease shall not be diminished or be the subject of any interference by Secured Party or (ii) join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding to foreclose the Mortgage or to enforce any rights or remedies of Secured Party under the Security Documents which would cut-off, destroy, terminate or extinguish the Lease or Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease (except to the extent that Tenant’s right to receive or set off any monies or obligations owed or to be performed by any of Secured Party’s predecessors in interest shall not be enforceable thereafter against Secured Party or any of Secured Party’s successors in interest except as set forth in Section 3 hereof), nor shall the Lease be terminated by Secured Party in connection with or by reason of any such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it would be procedurally and materially disadvantageous for Secured Party not to name or join Tenant as a party in a foreclosure proceeding with respect to the Mortgage, Secured Party may so name or join Tenant, provided any such naming shall not in any way diminish or otherwise affect the rights and privileges granted to, or inuring to the benefit of, Tenant under this Section 2.

Article III. Attornment. If Secured Party (or its nominee or designee) shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under the Lease through possession or foreclosure action, deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or another person purchases the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises upon or following foreclosure of the Mortgage or in connection with any bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord (the date upon which such succession occurs, the “Succession Date”), then at the request of Secured Party (or its nominee or designee) or such purchaser (Secured Party, its nominees and designees, and such purchaser, and their respective successors and assigns, each being a “Successor Landlord”), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under the Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or as if it were, a direct lease between Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all terms, conditions and

 

4


covenants as are set forth in the Lease except as otherwise provided below. If the Lease shall have terminated by operation of law or otherwise as a result of or in connection with a bankruptcy case commenced by or against Landlord or a foreclosure action or proceeding or delivery of a deed in lieu thereof, upon request of Successor Landlord, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a direct lease with Successor Landlord which direct lease shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Lease (subject, however, to the provisions of following clauses (a)-(f) of this Section 3) and shall be effective as of the day the Lease shall have terminated as aforesaid. Notwithstanding the continuation of the Lease, the attornment of Tenant thereunder or the execution of a direct lease between Successor Landlord and Tenant as aforesaid, Successor Landlord shall:

Section 3.01 not be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord (or its predecessors in interest); provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall relieve Successor Landlord from the obligation to cure any ongoing maintenance or repair default under the Lease with respect to the Premises by any prior landlord under the Lease which is continuing on the Succession Date; provided, that (and on the condition that), (i) Successor Landlord received notice thereof pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement and (ii) Successor Landlord’s obligation to cure such default shall be limited solely to performing the ongoing maintenance and repair obligations as required pursuant to the terms of the Lease (and in no event shall Successor Landlord have any other liability or obligation with respect to such default or be liable for any damages in connection therewith);

Section 3.02 not be subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses which Tenant may have against Landlord (or its predecessors in interest), except to the extent such credit, offset, claim, counterclaim demand or defense is expressly set forth in the Lease and the basis for such credit, offset, claim, counterclaim, demand or defense is ongoing;

Section 3.03 not be bound by any payments of rent which Tenant might have made for more than one (1) month in advance to Landlord (or its predecessors in interest) unless such payment is actually received by Successor Landlord;

Section 3.04 not be required to account for any security deposit other than any security deposit actually delivered to Successor Landlord; and

Section 3.05 not be bound by any waiver or forbearance under, or any modification of, the Lease made without the written consent of Secured Party.

Article IV. Secured Party’s Cure Rights. Tenant shall promptly notify Secured Party of any default by Landlord claimed by Tenant under the Lease and of any act or omission of Landlord claimed by Tenant under the Lease, which, in any such case, would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction. In the event of a default by Landlord under the Lease which would give Tenant the right, immediately or after the lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate the Lease or to abate or offset against the payment of rent or to claim a partial or total eviction. or in the event of any other act or omission of Landlord which would give Tenant the right to cancel or terminate the Lease or to abate or offset against the payment of rent or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise

 

5


such right (a) until Tenant has given written notice of such default, act or omission to Secured Party and (b) unless Secured Party has failed, within thirty (30) days after Secured Party receives such notice to cure or remedy the default, act or omission or, if such default, act or omission shall be one which is not reasonably capable of being remedied by Secured Party within such thirty (30) day period, until a reasonable period for remedying such default, act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice and following the time when Secured Party shall have become entitled under the Security Documents to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall in no event be less than the period to which Landlord would be entitled under the Lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy), provided that Secured Party shall with due diligence give Tenant written notice of its intention to, and shall commence and continue to, remedy such default, act or omission. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event Landlord fails to timely pay a Tenant Requisition (as such term is defined the Lease) and such failure would give Tenant the right to claim a rent allowance pursuant to Section 3(iii) of Exhibit L attached to the Lease (“Exhibit L”), Tenant shall not claim any such rent allowance until Tenant has given written notice of such failure to Secured Party and Secured Party has failed, within five (5) Business Days after Secured Party receives such notice, to pay to Tenant the requested Tenant Requisition that is the subject of such notice and (ii) in the event that Tenant has the right to terminate the Lease pursuant to Section l(b)(ii) of Exhibit L, Tenant shall not exercise such right until it has given Secured Party written notice of the default, act or omission giving rise to such termination right and Secured Party has failed, within ninety (90) days following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods set forth in Section 1(b)(ii) of Exhibit L, to remedy such default, act or omission. For the avoidance of doubt, the notice and additional cure rights in favor of Secured Party set forth in this Section 4 shall not apply to Tenant’s right to abate rent pursuant to (x) Section l(c) of Exhibit L in the event that Landlord fails to substantially complete Landlord’s Work (as such term is defined in the Lease) and/or the Commencement Date (as such term is defined in the Lease) fails to occur on or prior to December 1, 2019 or (y) Section 2(d) of Exhibit L in the event Landlord fails to deliver the Zero TCO (as such term is defined in the Lease) by the Zero TCO Delivery Date (as such term is defined in the Lease). Nothing contained herein, however, shall be construed or operate to obligate or require Secured Party to remedy such default, act or omission. If Secured Party cannot reasonably or practicably remedy a default, act or omission of Landlord until after Secured Party obtains possession of the Premises, Tenant may not terminate or cancel the Lease or claim a partial or total eviction by reason of such default, act or omission until the expiration of a reasonable period necessary for the remedy after Secured Party secures possession of the Premises (except in no event shall Secured Party have more than 90 days following the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods set forth in Section l(b)(ii) of Exhibit L to remedy any default, act or omission of Landlord giving rise to Tenant’s termination right set forth in Section 1(b)(ii) of Exhibit L). To the extent Secured Party incurs any expenses or other costs in curing or remedying such default, act or omission, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, Secured Party shall be subrogated to Tenant’s rights against Landlord.

Article V. No Amendments. Tenant shall not change, amend or modify, or consent to an amendment, modification or other change in, the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of the Lease in any manner, or tender or agree to any cancellation, surrender or termination of the Lease, without the express prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and no such amendment, modification, other change, cancellation, surrender or termination made without such consent by Agent shall be binding on Secured Party or release Tenant from any of its obligations under the Lease.

Article VI. Acknowledgement. Tenant acknowledges that the interest of Landlord under the Lease is assigned to Secured Party as security for the Building Loan Note, the Senior Loan Note and the Project Loan Note and, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Secured Party shall have no duty, liability or obligation under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, unless Secured Party shall specifically undertake such liability in writing or Secured Party becomes and then only with respect to periods in which Secured Party becomes, the fee owner of the Property.

Article VII. Limitation on Successor Landlord’s Liability. Anything in this Agreement or the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Successor Landlord shall acquire title to the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises, Successor Landlord’s obligations under the Lease, as described herein, shall continue only during the period Successor Landlord owns the Property, and Successor Landlord shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor Landlord’s then interest, if any, in the Property (including, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Security Documents, any sales, rental or insurance proceeds related thereto), and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest, if any, of Successor Landlord in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Successor Landlord under this Agreement or under the Lease, and Successor Landlord is hereby released or relieved of any other liability hereunder and under the Lease. With respect to any money judgment which may be obtained or secured by Tenant against Successor Landlord, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Successor Landlord in the Property (including, subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Security Documents, any sales, rental or insurance proceeds related thereto), and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Landlord or from any direct or indirect shareholder, partner, member, manager, trustee, officer, director, employee, agent or representative of Successor Landlord.

Article VIII. No Other Liability. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Secured Party shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, the Security Documents or any other instrument to which Secured Party may be a party, be or become subject to any liability or obligation to Tenant under the Lease or otherwise.

Article IX. Notices. All notices, demands and requests (collectively the “Notices”) required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given if personally delivered or delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed delivered (a) on the day of personal delivery, or (b) on the next business day after delivery to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for next business day delivery, in each case addressed as follows (or at such other address and Person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto on not less than five (5) business days’ prior to the other parties hereto given in the manner provided for in this Section 9):

SECURITY DEPOSIT REDUCTION

Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, the amount of the Security Deposit required under the Lease shall be reduced by the following amounts on the following dates and Tenant shall be permitted to submit a replacement Letter of Credit in such lower amount in accordance with the terms of the Lease:

(i) on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the amount obtained by multiplying (x) 3, by (y) the initial monthly installment of Fixed Rent for the then-applicable Premises;

(ii) on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the amount obtained by multiplying (x) 3, by (y) the initial monthly installment of Fixed Rent for the then-applicable Premises; and

(iii) on the ninth (9th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the amount obtained by multiplying (x) 1, by (y) the initial monthly installment of Fixed Rent for the then-applicable Premises.

Notwithstanding the foregoing and/or anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease and/or any other exhibits, except for the provisions of Section 5.01 of the Lease, which shall be controlling, should Tenant become a publicly traded company with a market cap of $2 billion or greater, the Security Deposit required under the Lease will immediately burn down to three (3) months of the initial monthly installment of Fixed Rent for the Premises, provided, however, that in no event shall such reduction occur prior to the Rent Commencement Date.

EXHIBIT L

WORK LETTER

LANDLORD’S WORK; TENANT’S WORK; WORK ALLOWANCE

Section 1. Landlord’s Work.

(a) Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work, installation or improvements or supply any materials or equipment in or to the Premises or provide Tenant with any monetary contribution, rent credit or other allowance in order to initially prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy except as specifically set forth in the Lease, this Exhibit L, or the Schedules annexed hereto.

(b) Landlord, at its sole cost and expense and in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable Laws, shall perform or cause to be performed by Landlord’s designated contractor and/or construction manager: (x) that certain work and initial improvements to the Premises shown on Schedule 1 annexed hereto (hereinafter called “Landlord’s Work”). Landlord anticipates that Landlord’s Work will be substantially completed prior to August 1, 2019 (the “Anticipated Delivery Date”), provided that in no event shall the Commencement Date be deemed to occur prior to August 1, 2019 unless Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises or any portion thereof to commence actual performance of Tenant’s Work. Landlord agrees to obtain LEED Gold v3 certification for the Building after the Building is substantially completed.

(c) (i) The Anticipated Delivery Date shall be extended by one day for each day that Landlord is delayed in substantially completing Landlord’s Work by reason of Force Majeure or a Tenant Delay. If Landlord’s Work is not substantially completed and/or the Commencement Date does not occur on or prior to December 1, 2019 (as such date shall be extended by Force Majeure and Tenant Delays), Landlord shall have no liability in connection therewith except that Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement in all Rent (in addition to any other Rent abatements expressly provided for in the Lease) equal to (x) one (1) day for each day after December 1, 2019 (as the same shall be so extended by Force Majeure and Tenant Delays) that Landlord’s Work is not substantially completed and/or the Commencement Date does not occur, and (y) two (2) days for each day after January 15, 2020 (as extended by Force Majeure) that Landlord’s Work is not substantially completed and/or the Commencement Date does not occur.

(ii) If Landlord’s Work has not been substantially completed and/or the Commencement Date has not occurred on or prior to the first anniversary of the Anticipated Delivery Date (as the same may be extended by up to ninety (90) days of Force Majeure or unlimited days of Tenant Delay), Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease as set forth in this Subsection l(c)(ii). If Tenant alleges the Landlord’s Work has not been substantially completed and/or the Commencement Date has not occurred prior to the first anniversary of the Anticipated Delivery Date (as the same may have been so extended by Force Majeure and Tenant Delays), Tenant shall send notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after the first anniversary of the Anticipated Delivery Date as so extended (the “Termination Date”), specifying in reasonable detail which items of Landlord’s Work have not been substantially

 

 

L-1


completed and/or conditions of the Commencement Date not then satisfied prior to the Termination Date and indicating whether Tenant intends to terminate the Lease (“Tenant’s Work Notice”). Unless within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Work Notice, Landlord shall either (x) substantially complete Landlord’s Work and/or cause the Commencement Date to occur, as applicable or (y) dispute in good faith, by delivery of notice to Tenant refuting in reasonable detail the assertions contained in Tenant’s Work Notice, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease effective as of the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of Tenant’s Work Notice. If Landlord disputes Tenant’s Work Notice in a timely manner pursuant to the preceding sentence, Tenant shall have no right to terminate the Lease unless and until Landlord settles such dispute with Tenant or such dispute is otherwise resolved in Tenant’s favor. If this Lease is terminated by Tenant pursuant to this Subsection l(c)(ii), Landlord shall return the Security Deposit and all prepaid rent to Tenant and shall reimburse Tenant for its reasonable, out of pocket expenses, not to exceed $500,000 in the aggregate, for (x) negotiating and consummating this Lease (including, without limitation, legal fees in negotiating this Lease) and (y) Soft Costs, within thirty (30) days after Tenant shall receive an itemized invoice for such expenses.

(d) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that although Tenant may request that Landlord make modifications to Landlord’s Work, it shall be within Landlord’s sole and complete discretion whether or not to make any changes or revisions to Landlord’s Work and Landlord shall have not liability to Tenant and Tenant shall make no claims against Landlord should Landlord refuse to make any such modifications for any reasons.

(e) For the purposes of this Exhibit L, the following definitions shall apply:

(i) The terms “substantially complete”, “substantially completes”, “substantially completed” and “substantial completion” shall mean the date when Landlord’s Work items then remaining to be done, if any, consist solely of minor “punch list” items the absence of which does not materially affect or delay Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s Work in the Premises. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in the Lease or this Exhibit L or the schedules hereto, in no event shall the items of work listed on Schedule 2 (the “Excepted Items”) to this Work Letter be required to be completed in order for Landlord’s Work to be deemed substantially completed. The date on which Landlord’s Work is substantially completed, or is deemed to be substantially completed, is hereinafter called the Substantial Completion Date. Landlord shall diligently pursue completion of the Expected Items and the Excepted Items shall be completed reasonably promptly after the Substantial Completion Date in accordance with the outside dates (where applicable) outlined on Schedule 2. Should Tenant commence actual construction of Tenant’s Work in any portion of the Premises, the date on which such work shall commence shall be deemed to be the Substantial Completion Date for purposes of determining the Commencement Date and Tenant’s rights to any rent abatement and/or lease termination pursuant to Section 1(b). Tenant understands and agrees that the commencement of Tenant’s Work in any portion of the Premises shall determine the Commencement Date and the cessation of lack of a rent abatement for the entire Premises. If the Substantial Completion Date should be a date on which Landlord’s Work is “deemed” to have been substantially completed, Landlord agrees it shall complete any Landlord’s Work which is outstanding as well as any “punch list” items set forth on the “Work Punchlist Notice” (as hereinafter defined) and latent defects as set forth herein.

 

 

L-2


(ii) The term “Tenant Delay” shall mean any actual delay in substantial completion of Landlord’s Work caused by (i) any act or omission (where there is a duty to act) committed by Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers or representatives or any Affiliate of Tenant, any subtenant of Tenant or any other occupant of the Premises acting through or under Tenant, and each of their respective direct or indirect partners, officers, shareholders, directors, members, trustees, beneficiaries, employees, principals, contractors, licensees, agents, guests and invitees and representatives, (ii) Tenant’s Work, (iii) any revision proposed by Tenant to plans for Tenant’s Work, (iv) delays by Tenant beyond prescribed time periods, if any, in submission of information or giving required authorizations or approvals, (v) delays due to the postponement of any work performed by Landlord at the written request of Tenant, (vi) the failure of Tenant to respond to any Landlord notice beyond prescribed time periods, if any, or (vii) Tenant’s failure to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, subject in each event to the terms of Section 1(g) below.

(iii) The term “Force Majeure” shall mean the inability of either party to perform an obligation accruing under this Lease by reason of strikes or lockouts, the inability to secure labor, materials or supplies due to widespread shortages, governmental preemption, priorities, restrictions, regulations or other controls in connection with a national or other public emergency, acts of God, war or terrorism, casualty or by reason of any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of such party, but in no event shall lack of funds be considered as Force Majeure.

(f) At least two (2) weeks in advance of the date that Landlord anticipates substantial completion of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a notice of such date (the “Substantial Completion Notice”). Within three (3) Business Days following Tenant’s receipt of the Substantial Completion Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to promptly schedule a joint walk-though of the Premises. Within five (5) Business Days following such walk-through of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to furnish Landlord with a written notice (herein, the “Punchlist Notice”) specifying Tenant’s determination of any “punch list” items (with said “punch list” being delivered in a commercially reasonable form) remaining to be completed or disputing that substantial completion of Landlord’s Work has occurred. Tenant’s failure to deliver the Punchlist Notice within the aforesaid five (5) Business Day period shall constitute Tenant’s irrevocable and unconditional waiver of any right that Tenant might otherwise have had, whether under this Lease or otherwise, to cause Landlord to complete any “punch list” items related to Landlord’s Work; but nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to abrogate Landlord’s obligations set forth elsewhere in this Lease to deliver services or make repairs. Landlord shall commence completion of the Landlord’s Work punch list items as soon as reasonably possible following the date of the Punchlist Notice, and diligently pursue completion thereof, provided that in all events, Landlord shall complete all Landlord’s Work punch list items within ninety (90) days following the date of the Punchlist Notice, subject to Force Majeure, and Tenant Delays.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, no condition shall be deemed to be a Tenant Delay unless and until Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such suspected Tenant Delay condition (“Landlord’s Notice of Tenant Delay”). For purposes of determining the Commencement Date, and whether additional abatements of rent or lease termination are available to Tenant, substantial completion of Landlord’s Work shall be

 

L-3


deemed to have occurred on the date that substantial completion of Landlord’s Work would have occurred but for such Tenant Delay . If Landlord’s Notice of Tenant Delay is given more than 3 Business Days after Landlord has actual knowledge of the existence of Tenant Delay (“Date of TD Knowledge”), then the Tenant Delay period shall exclude the number of days from the fourth Business Day following the Date of TD Knowledge. If Landlord shall incur any additional costs or expenses in performing Landlord’s Work as a result of a Tenant Delay, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such actual costs and expenses within twenty (20) days after receipt of an invoice therefor detailing such costs and expenses.

(h) Notwithstanding any language to the contrary contained in this Exhibit L, Landlord shall be responsible for repairing any latent defect in Landlord’s Work, provided such defect is not caused solely or in part by Tenant or its employees and contractors, and further provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of any such latent defect within one (1) year following the Substantial Completion Date. Any defect in Landlord’s Work which is discoverable by reasonable inspection shall not be considered to be a latent defect. Tenant shall be responsible for repairing, at Tenant’s sole cost, any latent defect not reported to Landlord in such notice. This Subsection 1(h) shall not be construed as imposing any other liability on Landlord with respect to latent defects except as specifically set forth herein, nor shall it be construed to abrogate any of Landlord’s specific obligations under this Lease including to deliver services or make repairs.

Section 2. Tenant’s Work. For purposes hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(i) “Electric Closet Work” shall mean the installation of panels and transformers by Tenant as part of Tenant’s Work in the electric closets on each floor of the Premises are located, which work shall be performed in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements which shall be part of Tenant’s Work.

(ii) “Tenant’s Work” shall mean the construction and finishing of the Premises (including without limitation the Electric Closet Work) by Tenant for its initial occupancy.

(a) Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that Tenant will, at Tenant’s own cost and expense (subject to the terms hereof), and in a good and workmanlike manner, perform Tenant’s Work in accordance with the provisions of Article 4, Exhibit C-2 and the Initial Alterations Rules and Regulations attached to this Exhibit L as Schedule 3. In the event of any discrepancy between the provisions of Article 4 of the Lease and this Exhibit L (including the Schedules to this Exhibit L), the provisions of this Exhibit L shall control with respect to Tenant’s Work. The provisions of Exhibit C-l shall not be applicable to Tenant’s Work but Schedule 3 to this Exhibit L shall apply in lieu thereof.

(b) Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall prepare a final plan or final set of plans and specifications (which said final plan or final set of plans and specifications, as the case may be, are hereinafter collectively called the “final plan”) which shall contain complete information and dimensions necessary for the construction and finishing of the portion(s) of the Premises in which any Tenant’s Work is being performed. Each final plan shall be submitted by Tenant to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Tenant

 

L-4


shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within twenty (20) days after demand , together with reasonably supporting documentation, all actual, reasonable out of pocket third-party costs and expenses incurred (including, without limitation, the actual, reasonable fees of any third-party architect or engineer engaged by Landlord or any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee for such purpose) for reviewing the final plan and any modifications thereto, provided however that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease and/or any exhibits, Tenant shall not be liable for fifty (50%) percent of the first Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($250,000) of such costs and expenses, but Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of all such costs and expenses in excess of Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand ($250,000) Dollars. Landlord shall respond to Tenant’s request for approval of any proposed Tenant’s Work Alterations or final plan therefor within fifteen (15) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of such request for approval and/or such final plan, by granting approval therefor or denying approval and providing reasonably detailed objections in connection therewith. If Landlord shall fail to approve or disapprove (with reasonably detailed objections) Tenant’s written request for approval of any Tenant’s Work Alterations or final plan (herein called an “Request”) within fifteen (15) Business Days after such Request is received by Landlord, then Tenant shall have the right to give to Landlord a second request for approval (herein called a “Second Request”). If Landlord shall fail to approve or disapprove (with reasonably detailed objections) a Second Request within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt thereof, Tenant shall have the right to give to Landlord a third request for approval (herein called a “Third Request”). If Landlord shall fail to approve or disapprove (with reasonably detailed objections) a Third Request within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt thereof, then, as Tenant’s sole remedy for such failure, and provided that the Third Request contains the language specified below, such Third Request shall be deemed approved by Landlord upon the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period. Tenant agrees that the Third Request shall refer specifically to this subsection 2(ii)(b) and state that Landlord must respond to the Third Request within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt or such Third Request shall be deemed approved. As a condition to the effectiveness of such Third Request, it shall contain a statement in at least 12-point bold type and capital letters stating that it is a “DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE”. If the Third Request shall relate to any Tenant’s Work that affects the structure of the Building or any of the Building systems or any area outside of the Premises, the periods specified in this subsection 2(ii)(b) shall each be extended by four (4) Business Days.

(c) Landlord shall sign, to the extent required, all applicable applications to the DOB for permits for Tenant’s Work within seven (7) Business Days after it receives the same from Tenant (even if the same shall be prior to Landlord’s approval of plans and specifications therefor). Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord’s signature of a permit application with respect to Tenant’s Work shall not be considered Landlord’s approval of the applicable Tenant’s Work for the final plan or waiver of any rights Landlord has under Section 2 (b) hereof. Nothing contained in this Section 2(c) shall be deemed to (i) require Landlord to sign any application which Landlord reasonably believes to contain inaccurate information, (ii) impose on Landlord any obligation to verify the accuracy of any information contained in any such application or (iii) constitute Landlord’s representation or agreement as to the accuracy of any information contained in any such application.

 

L-5


(d) For work on floors 4-10 and the Lower Level Premises, Landlord will pursue a core and shell zero occupancy Temporary Certificate of Occupancy ( the “Zero TCO”) and endeavor to obtain the same by December 31st 2019 (“Zero TCO Delivery Date”) including commissioning of all building systems required to achieve the Zero TCO. The Zero TCO Delivery Date shall be extended by one day for each day that Landlord is delayed in substantially completing Landlord’s Work by reason of Force Majeure or a Tenant Delay. If the Zero TCO is not obtained (including commission of all building systems required to achieve the Zero TCO) by on or prior to December 31, 20 19 (as such date shall be extended by Force Majeure and Tenant Delays), Landlord shall have no liability in connection therewith except that Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement in all Rent (in addition to any other Rent abatements expressly provided for in the Lease) equal to (x) one (1) day for each day after April 1st, 2020 (as the same shall be so extended by Force Majeure and Tenant Delays) that the Zero TCO is not obtained (including commissioning of all building systems required to achieve the Zero TCO), and (y) two (2) days for each day after May 15th, 2020 (as extended by Force Majeure and Tenant Delays) that the Zero TCO is not obtained (including commissioning of all building systems required to achieve the Zero TCO). For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall have no ability to terminate the lease due to Landlord’s delay or inability to obtain the Zero TCO. Tenant shall be responsible at Tenant’s cost and expense to obtain an amendment of the Zero TCO to permit Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, provided however that Landlord shall provide at Landlord’s cost the base building fire alarm system available at the core for Tenant’s connection and the temporary sprinkler loops required the law. Tenant shall coordinate its filing for work permits with the DOB and the sequence of the performance of Tenant’s Work with Landlord’s election so as not to delay the issuance of the Zero TCO ( i.e. including not connecting its MEP and life safety systems to the core and shell systems until a Zero TCO is achieved). Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant’s efforts to obtain such modification; provided, that (x) the content of such change does not materially adversely affect Landlord’s or any other tenant’s or occupant’s use of portions of the Building not comprising the Premises and (y) the content of such change will not materially and adversely affect Landlord’s ability to obtain a valid construction permit for any work Landlord may in good faith wish to perform in the Building provided however that Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, include in its application for a Zero TCO, any modifications requested by Tenant (e.g. application for a Public Assembly permit).

Any delay in the issuance of the Zero TCO by reason of Tenant’s Work or applications to the DOB in connection therewith shall constitute a Tenant Delay provided that Landlord shall first notify Tenant thereof in accordance with Section 1(g) hereof. Within five (5) business day following Tenant’s request therefor, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a sufficient number of ACP 5 certificates in order for Tenant to obtain a building permit to perform Tenant’s Work.

(d) Subject to Force Majeure, Tenant shall have exclusive access to (X) one (1) low-rise elevator and (Y) one (1) high-rise elevator (such elevators are hereinafter called “Tenant Freight Elevators”) for construction workers’ transportation in connection with the performance of Tenant’s Work during the period (the “Exclusive Elevator Period”) from the Substantial Completion Date through the earlier of (i) substantial completion of Tenant’s Work, or (ii) twelve (12) months following the Substantial Completion Date for the low- rise elevator and with respect to the high-rise elevator, the earlier of (1) nine (9) months following the

 

L-6


Substantial Completion Date or (2) the date which is seven (7) weeks prior to the occupancy of space in the high rise elevator bank by another tenant. Landlord shall provide, at Tenant’s expense, any operators and other personnel required in connection with the operation of Tenant’s Freight Elevators. Tenant, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of a demand therefor (accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation therefor), shall reimburse Landlord all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord with respect to Tenant’s Freight Elevators, including, without limitation, (i) all amounts incurred by Landlord for the electricity consumed in the operation of Tenant’s Freight Elevators, and (ii) any amounts reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of Tenant’s Freight Elevators.
