benefiting from the waiver shall pay such premium within ten days after written
demand or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party obtaining insurance
coverage shall be free of any further obligation, Tenant acknowledges that Owner
will not carry insurance on Tenant's furniture and/or furnishings or any
fixtures or equipment, improvements, or appurtenances removable by Tenant and
agrees that Owner will not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace

any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Owner
may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or
occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no
such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver
of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant or occupant as
tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of
covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Owner to an
assignment or underletting shall not in any wise be construed to relieve Tenant

right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary
proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this

in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of
redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant

but Landlord may not place any other equipment thereon that would, in
any way, interfere with or diminish the views from the interior of the
demised premises or the amount of light that enters the demised

permit the installation of such equipment and be satisfactory to
Tenant; provided further that if

lease to which it is attached and in each instance in which the provisions of

inconsistent printed provisions of the printed portion of this lease shall be
deemed amended accordingly.
38. RENTAL:
(A) The rents reserved under this lease, shall be and consist of:
(1) fixed rent (sometimes hereinafter called the "fixed rent" or
"fixed annual rent") which shall be payable by Tenant in equal monthly
installments in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during
the term of this lease at an annual rental rate of:
(i) ONE MILLION FOUR HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED
SEVENTY-EIGHT AND 75/lOOths DOLLARS ($1,447,878.75) for the period from the
Commencement Date (as such term is hereinafter defined) to and including

SIXTY-ONE AND 75/lOOths DOLLARS ($1,598,961.75) for the period from the

of the term; and
(2) additional rent (hereinafter "additional rent") consisting of
all such other sums of money as shall become due from and payable by Tenant to
Landlord hereunder (for default in payment of which Landlord shall have the same
remedies as for a default in payment of fixed rent). Unless otherwise provided
in this lease, such additional rental shall be payable in equal monthly
installments in advance concurrently with and in the same manner as the fixed
rent referred to in Sub-Article "(A)(1)" supra,
all to be paid to Landlord at its office, or such other place, or to such agent
and at such place, as Landlord may designate by notice to Tenant, in lawful
money of the United States of America, which shall be legal tender in payment of
all debts and dues, public and private at the time of payment.

against rents then or thereafter due) for overpayment of rents or payment of

immediately preceding the eleventh (11th) anniversary of the Commencement Date.
(E) Provided that no monetary default or no nonmonetary material
default shall have occurred and be continuing during the one-year period for
which the following credit is to be applied (provided further that Tenant shall
be entitled to be reimbursed by Landlord for any fixed rent or additional rent
paid by Tenant during such one-year period for which Tenant
<PAGE>
would otherwise have been entitled to receive such credit upon Tenant's cure of
such monetary default or such non-monetary material default), Tenant shall have
the right to use and occupy the demised premises free of fixed annual rent only
(but not against any additional rent or other charges, except for the abatement

39. ELECTRICITY AND STEAM:
(A) Tenant covenants and agrees to purchase all electric current
used in the demised premises from Landlord or Landlord's designated agent for
the sum of (a) the product of (x) 105% of Landlord's Monthly Cost Per Kilowatt
Hour and (y) Tenant's aggregate monthly consumption of and demand for
electricity in the demised premises as determined by the electricity meters in
the demised premises and (b) Landlord's actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses
in reading the electricity meters and administering the electricity meter
billing. As used herein, the phrase "Landlord's Monthly Cost Per Kilowatt Hour"
shall mean (i) the total charges for electricity charged to and paid by Landlord
to the public utility serving the building calculated on a monthly basis
(including energy charges, consumption and demand charges, all applicable
surcharges, time-of-day charges, fuel adjustment charges, rate adjustment
charges and any other factors used by the public utility company in computing
its charges to Landlord), divided by (ii) the total kilowatt hours purchased by
Landlord during such period. Tenant covenants and agrees to purchase all steam
used in and for the demised premises from Landlord or Landlord's designated
agent for the sum of (a) the product of (x) 105% of Landlord's Monthly Cost Per
M/LB and (y) the aggregate monthly consumption of steam in or for the demised
premises as determined by the steam meters in the demised premises and (b)
Landlord's actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in reading the steam meters
and administering the steam meter billing. As used herein, the phrase
"Landlord's Monthly Cost Per M/LB" shall mean (i) the total charges for steam
charged to and paid by Landlord to the public utility serving the building
calculated on a monthly basis (including energy charges, all applicable
surcharges, time-of-day charges, fuel adjustment charges, rate adjustment
charges and any other factors used by the public utility in computing its
charges to Landlord), divided by (ii) the total M/LB's of steam purchased by
Landlord during such period. As used herein, the term "M/LB" shall mean one
thousand pounds of steam. Where more than one meter measures Tenant's
consumption of and demand for electricity and steam (including, but not limited
to such electric energy and steam as is provided in connection with the
operation of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment serving the
demised premises and all computer and other equipment in the demised premises),
the service rendered through each meter may be computed and billed separately in
accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, in no event shall the amount billed to Tenant for electricity
and steam hereunder be less than 100% of Landlord's cost therefor. Bills
therefor shall be rendered at such times as Landlord may elect and shall be
payable within fifteen (15) days of demand therefor. If any tax is imposed upon
Landlord's receipts from the sale or resale of electrical energy and steam to
Tenant by any federal, state, or municipal authority, Tenant agrees that where
permitted by law, such taxes shall, without duplication of other amounts paid by
Tenant hereunder, be passed on to, and included in the bill of, and paid by
Tenant to Landlord. All payments hereunder shall be additional rent.
(B) Tenant's use of electric current and steam in and for the
demised premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the
existing electrical and steam feeders, risers, conductors, equipment and wiring
installation and/or pipes in or otherwise serving the demised premises or exceed
the existing electrical or steam capacity exclusively serving the demised
premises, except with Landlord's prior written consent as provided below, and
Tenant may not use any electrical or steam equipment which, in Landlord's
reasonable opinion, will overload such installations or interfere with the use
thereof by other tenants of the building. Tenant shall not make or perform or
permit the making or performing of, any alterations to wiring or other
electrical facilities or steam pipes or other steam facilities in or serving the
<PAGE>
demised premises without Landlord's prior written consent in each instance. Such
written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Landlord,
provided that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Tenant's alterations will not
cause permanent damage or injury to the building or the demised premises or
cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition or interfere with or disturb
other tenants or occupants of the building (except that with respect to
alterations which are intended to increase amperage to the demised premises or
to increase the existing electrical or steam capacity exclusively serving the
demised premises, Landlord may withhold or delay its consent in Landlord's sole
discretion). The electrical and steam capacity servicing the demised premises as
of the date of this lease shall remain for Tenant's use during the term of this
lease.
(C) Landlord shall not be liable or responsible in any way to
Tenant for any failure or defect or change in the supply or character of
electric energy or steam furnished to the demised premises by reason of any
requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the building with
electricity and steam or for any other reason whatsoever, nor shall interruption
or curtailment of any such services constitute a constructive or partial
eviction, nor entitle Tenant to any compensation or abatement or withholding of
rent, except for Landlord's willful misconduct or gross negligence or Landlord's
failure to pay its bills.
(D) Landlord reserves the right to discontinue furnishing
electric energy or steam to Tenant at any time upon sixty (60) days' written
notice to Tenant, and from and after the effective date of such termination,
Landlord shall no longer be obligated to furnish Tenant with electric energy or
steam, provided, however, that such termination date shall be extended for a
time reasonably necessary for Tenant to make arrangements utility company
servicing the building. If Landlord shall so discontinue furnishing electricity
or steam to Tenant, this lease shall remain unaffected thereby and shall
continue in full force and effect; and thereafter Tenant shall diligently
arrange to obtain electric service or steam directly from the public utility
company servicing the building, and may utilize the then existing electric or
steam feeders, risers, pipes and wiring serving the demised premises to the
extent available and safely capable of being used for such purpose and, with
respect to electric service, only to the extent of Tenant's then authorized
connected load. Landlord shall be obligated to pay no part of any cost required
for Tenant's direct electric or steam service. Landlord shall, in no event,
discontinue furnishing electricity or steam to Tenant until such time as Tenant
has obtained electricity or steam, as the case may be, directly from the public
utility.
(E) As soon as reasonably possible after the date of this Lease,
(i) Tenant shall diligently proceed, as a credit against Landlord's Work
Contribution (as hereinafter defined), to install and to make fully operational
steam and electricity meters and all equipment in connection therewith to
measure Tenant's demand for and consumption of electric energy and steam in the
demised premises. Until such electricity meters are fully operational, Tenant
shall pay Landlord additional rent at an annual rate of $50,361.00 for Tenant's
demand for and consumption of electricity in the demised premises until the date
Tenant shall have completed its initial improvements and first taken occupancy
of the demised premises for the purpose of conducting Tenant's normal office
operations and thereafter at an annual rate of $125,902.50. Until such steam
meters are fully operational, Tenant shall pay Landlord additional rent at an
annual rate of $25,180.50 for Tenant's consumption of steam in and for the
demised premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall receive
electricity and steam at no charge for the period from the date of this lease
until the date (the "Electricity and Steam Charge Starting Date") which shall be
the first to occur of: (i) the 120th day after the date of this lease or (ii)
the date that Tenant shall first start performing improvements in the demised
premises which shall not be base building work (i.e., work affecting the
building fixtures and systems-existing in the demised premises on the date of
this lease),but work which is intended to improve the demised premises for
Tenant's particular use thereof.
Upon the first billing by Landlord to Tenant after the first
reading of such electricity and steam meters, the parties shall adjust the
amount paid by Tenant for the period after the Electricity and Steam Charge
Starting Date, and Tenant shall be responsible to pay, as additional rent, an
amount for Tenant's demand for and consumption of electricity and steam in and
for the demised premises for the period from the Electricity and Steam Charge
Starting Date until such first reading (calculated pursuant to Sub-Article (A)
of this Article) based upon Landlord's reasonable projection of the readings
from such meters for the period from the
<PAGE>
Electricity and Steam Charge Starting Date until such first reading, Tenant,
however, receiving a credit for all sums paid Landlord for electricity and steam
for the period from the Electricity and Steam Charge Starting Date until such
first reading. If the amount for which Tenant shall be responsible shall exceed
the credit, Tenant shall promptly pay the excess to Landlord within fifteen (15)
days after demand as additional rent. If the amount for which Tenant shall be
responsible shall be less than the aforementioned credit, Landlord shall give
Tenant a credit for such difference against the first amounts for fixed rent or
additional rent for which Tenant shall thereafter be liable.
(F) At Tenant's election, Tenant shall have the right to obtain
electric service or steam for the demised premises directly from the public
utility supplying the same. In such event, Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses
and any and all other amounts required in obtaining such service, and Landlord
shall no longer furnish Tenant with electricity or steam, as the case may be, as
otherwise hereinafter provided in this Article, and Tenant may utilize the then
existing electric and steam feeders, risers, pipes and wiring serving the
demised premises to the extent available and safely capable of being used for
such purpose and, with respect to electric service, only to the extent of
Tenant's then authorized connected load.
(G) (1) Tenant shall have the right for a period of 180 days after
the Commencement Date to give Landlord written notice (the back-up
Electricity Notice") that Tenant elects to receive up to 400 amperes of
"back-up" electricity (at 460/480 volts) from the building generator in the
event of failure of electricity from the public utility or other energy provider
serving the building, provided that if during such 180 day period any
prospective tenant or tenants of space in the building shall require "back-up"
electricity from the building generator and Landlord shall not have sufficient
capacity in excess of 400 amperes (at 460/480 volts) from the building generator
to meet the needs of such prospective tenant or tenants, Landlord may give
written notice of the deficiency ("Landlord's Initial Generator Notice") to
Tenant, and Tenant shall have ten (10) business days after Landlord's Initial
Generator Notice is given to Tenant to give Landlord the Back-up Electricity
Notice, provided further, that if Tenant shall fail to give Landlord the Back-up
Electricity Notice within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant shall be
deemed to have waived its right under this Sub-Article to receive the number of
amperes of "back-up" electricity (at 460/480 volts) representing the deficiency
set forth in Landlord's Initial Generator Notice, provided further that if
Tenant shall give Landlord the Back-up Electricity Notice within such ten (10)
business day period, Tenant shall be obligated to make the additional rent
payments (with respect to the number of amperes of back-up" electricity (at
460/480 volts) representing the deficiency set forth in Landlord's Initial
Generator Notice) set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence hereof for a
minimum of five (5) years (the "Minimum Period") from the Generator Payment
Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined). If Tenant shall give Landlord the
Back-up Electricity Notice as provided above, Tenant shall pay Landlord
additional rent per annum therefor equal to the product of (i) $100.00 and (ii)
the number of amperes of "back-up" electricity elected to be received (and not
previously waived) by Tenant in the Back-up Electricity Notice, payable in
monthly installments at the same time and in the same manner as the fixed rent
whether or not (i) there shall be any such failure of electricity or (ii) Tenant
shall be actually receiving such back-up electricity from the building
generator, commencing on the earlier of (x) the date that Tenant shall complete
its connection to the building generator or (y) the 90th day after the day
Tenant shall give Landlord the Back-up Electricity Notice (such earlier date,
the "Generator Payment Commencement Date").
(2) If at any time after Tenant shall have given Landlord the Back-up
Electricity Notice, another tenant or tenants, or prospective tenant or tenants,
of space in the building shall require "back-up" electricity from the building
generator and Landlord shall not have sufficient capacity in excess of the
number of amperes of "back-up" electricity elected by Tenant in the Back-up
Electricity Notice to meet the needs of such tenant or tenants or prospective
tenant or tenants, Landlord may give written notice or notices of the deficiency
(each a "Landlord's Second Generator Notice") to Tenant. Tenant shall thereupon
have ten (10) business days after a Landlord's Second Generator Notice is given
to Tenant to give Landlord notice (each a "Tenant's Generator Election Notice")
that Tenant either elects (i) to cancel its right to receive back-up electricity
under this Sub-Article with respect to the number of amperes of "back-up"
electricity (at 460/480 volts) representing the deficiency set forth in
Landlord's Second Generator Notice, in which case, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost
and expense, within sixty (60) days after Tenant's Generator Election Notice
shall be given to Landlord, shall perform,
<PAGE>
complete and fully pay for the Disconnection Work (as hereinafter defined) with
respect to such number of amperes of "back-up" electricity (at 460/480 volts)
set forth in Landlord's Second Generator Notice, whereupon Tenant's liability
for additional rent payments for "back-up" electricity under this Sub-Article
with respect to such number of amperes of "back-up" electricity (at 460/480
volts) set forth in Landlord's Second Generator Notice shall cease (with the
last monthly installment therefor being prorated for the period of such month
prior to the day such Disconnection Work has been completed and fully paid for
by Tenant) or (ii) to be connected to the building generator with respect to the
number of amperes of "back-up" electricity (at 460/480 volts) representing the
deficiency set forth in Landlord's Second Generator Notice and to make
additional rent payments therefor as set forth in this SubArticle for the
Minimum Period from the day Tenant's Generator Election Notice electing this
clause (ii) is given to Landlord. If Tenant shall have failed to give Landlord
Tenant's Generator Election Notice on or prior to the tenth (10th) business day
after Landlord's Second Generator Notice shall have been given to Tenant, Tenant
shall be deemed to have elected to proceed pursuant to clause (i) of the
immediately preceding sentence and Tenant shall proceed to carry out the
provisions of such clause (i)(with such tenth (10th) business day being deemed,
for the purposes of such clause (i), to be the day that Tenant's Generator
Election Notice shall have been given to Landlord).
(3) Notwithstanding anything in this Sub-Article to the contrary
(x) as to any amounts of amperes of "back-up" electricity that Tenant has
elected to receive that are not subject to a Minimum Period and (y) as to any
amperes of "backup" electricity that are subject to a Minimum Period and for
which at least four (4) years of such Minimum Period have elapsed, Tenant shall
thereafter be free at Tenant's sole cost and expense, upon 180 days' prior
written notice to Landlord ("Tenant's Disconnection Notice"), to disconnect its
connection to the building generator and remove the equipment and wiring
previously providing such connection without damage to the building generator or
the rest of the building (referred to herein as the "Disconnection Work"), upon
Tenant's payment to Landlord, as additional rent, together with the giving of
Tenant's Disconnection Notice, of a lump sum equal to the aggregate of twelve
(12) additional monthly installment payments by Tenant pursuant to clause (1) of
this Sub-Article (G), in each case in respect of such amperes of "back-up"
electricity being disconnected. On the 180 day after Tenant's Disconnection
Notice shall have been given to Landlord, together with the lump sum payment
referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, provided that Tenant shall
have completed the Disconnection Work and fully paid therefor, Tenant's
liability for additional rent payments for back-up electricity in respect of
such amperes of "back-up" electricity being so disconnected under this
SubArticle shall cease (with the last monthly installment thereof being prorated
for the period of such month prior to such 180th day).
(4) If Tenant shall exercise the right to receive such back-up
electricity, to the extent such right shall not be waived pursuant to clause (1)
of this Sub-Article (G), Tenant shall pay all the costs and expenses of
connecting to the building generator and, to the extent such right shall not be
waived, cancelled or terminated, Tenant shall pay Landlord additional rent at
the rate of $0.14 per kilowatt hour for actual usage of such back-up
electricity. In connection with Tenant's disconnection to the building
generator, Tenant shall perform and complete, and fully pay for, the
Disconnection Work.

41. CONDITION OF PREMISES:
Neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents have made any representations
or promises with respect to the physical condition of the building, the land or
the demised premises, the rents, leases, retable square foot area, usable square
foot area, expenses of operation or any other matter or thing affecting or
related to the demised premises or the building except as herein expressly set
forth and no rights, easements, or licenses are acquired by Tenant by
implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth in the provisions of this
lease. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has examined the demised premises, the
utility systems serving the building, demised premises, and all fixtures and
equipment in or serving the demised premises on the date hereof (including all
connection points to the Class E fire alarm system on the 16th floor of the
building (Landlord represents that all such points will be functional on the
Commencement Date), it being understood that no reprogramming charges shall be
passed through to Tenant in connection
<PAGE>
therewith)(which fixtures and equipment shall remain Landlord's property and
which Tenant shall not remove from the demised premises or the building and
which Tenant will repair and maintain throughout the term of this lease) and is
thoroughly acquainted with their condition and has accepted the condition
thereof "as-is," and acknowledges that the taking of possession of the demised
premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the building, the demised
premises and the aforementioned utility systems and fixtures and equipment were
in good and satisfactory condition at the time possession was taken (Landlord
represents that the overhead doors of loading bay #21, freight elevator # F-8
and any other mechanical equipment in loading bay #21 shall be delivered to
Tenant in working order on the Commencement Date, except that it shall be
Tenant's responsibility as part of the Tenant Improvements to create the opening
for freight elevator #F-8 onto the 16th floor of the building), except as to
latent defects and as to the Tenant Improvements to be made by Tenant pursuant
to Article 44 of this lease, and Landlord shall not be obligated to make any
repairs, alterations or installations with respect thereto, except as otherwise
expressly set forth herein. Landlord represents that on the Commencement Date
there are no violations affecting the demised premises and the demised premises
is in conformance with all local laws and fire codes, except that there is a
violation affecting freight elevator #F-8, which Landlord is in the process of
removing and which Landlord shall complete the removal of, as soon as reasonably
possible after the date of this lease.
42. ADJUSTMENT OF RENTS FOR CHANGES IN REAL ESTATE TAXES:
(A) As used herein:
(i) "Tax" or "Taxes" shall mean the real estate taxes and
assessments imposed upon the land and the building, including the taxes and
assessment of, or for, the 34th Street Business Improvement District. To the
extent that any assessments are payable in installments, only those installments
payable during the Base Tax Year or any Comparative Year shall be included in
the Taxes for such Year. Penalties and interest on Taxes and income, franchise,
transfer, inheritance, capital stock and other similar taxes shall be deemed
excluded from the term "Tax" or "Taxes" for the purposes hereof. However, if and
to the extent that, due to a change in the method of assessment or taxation, any
franchise, capital stock, capital rents, income, profits or other tax or charge
shall be substituted for the Taxes now or hereafter imposed upon the land and
the building, such franchise, capital stock, capital rents, income, profits or
other tax or charge, computed as if Landlord owned or operated no property other
than the land and the building, shall be deemed included in the term "Tax" or
"Taxes" for the purposes hereof.
(ii) "Comparative Year" shall mean each fiscal tax year from July
1st to June 30th (or such other period as is hereafter declared to be the fiscal
tax year of the City of New York) subsequent to and including the Base Tax Year.
(iii) "Tenant's Proportionate Tax Share" shall mean 3.58%.
(iv) "Base Tax Year" shall mean the fiscal tax year from July 1,
1998 to June 30, 1999.
(B) In the event that Taxes payable for any Comparative Year following
the Base Tax Year shall exceed the Taxes for the Base Tax Year, Tenant shall pay
Landlord, as additional rent for such Comparative Year, an amount equal to
Tenant's Proportionate Tax Share of the excess (which amount is hereinafter
called the "Tax Payment"). For the last Comparative Year during the term of this
lease, the Tax Payment shall be apportioned based on the number of days of the
term of this lease within such Comparative Year.
(C) The Tax Payment shall be based upon a statement given by Landlord
to Tenant showing the computation of the Tax Payment, if any, payable for such
Comparative Year or the portion thereof that shall fall within the lease term,
together with a copy of the relevant tax bills. For each such year (or such
portion thereof) Tenant shall pay to Landlord additional rental, payable in
twelve equal monthly installments, due and payable in advance on the first day
of each month. In the event Landlord's statement is furnished to Tenant after
the commencement of such Comparative Year, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord
any amount due to Landlord hereunder from the first day of such Comparative Year
to the last day of the month in which such statement is rendered to Tenant.
<PAGE>
(D) Subject to the further provisions of this Article, Landlord shall
be under no obligation to contest the Taxes or the assessed valuation of the
land and/or building for any Comparative Year, or to refrain from contesting the
same, and may settle any such contest on such terms as Landlord in its sole
judgment considers proper. If tenants of at least 65% of the total rentable area
of the building shall, by timely notice to Landlord, request Landlord to do so,
Landlord shall institute appropriate proceedings to reduce the Taxes for any
Comparative Year and use its best efforts to effect a reduction therein. Tenant
shall pay its share of the reasonable costs and expenses of such proceedings and
any litigation thereon, based upon the ratio of the rentable area of the demised
premises to the total rentable area represented by all tenants requesting
Landlord to institute such proceedings, as additional rent within fifteen (15)
days after Landlord's demand therefor, subject to recoupment from any refund
obtained. Landlord shall not compromise, cancel or withdraw such proceedings
which shall have been instituted at the request of tenants of 65% or more of the
total rentable area of the building unless it shall have first notified all such
requesting tenants of its proposal to do so and shall have not received, within
10 days thereafter, objections in writing from tenants of more than 50% of the
total rentable area represented by such requesting tenants, accompanied by
written agreements to reimburse Landlord forthwith for all of its costs and
expenses in connection with the proceedings and relieve Landlord of all of its
commitments in connection therewith, for which such objectors shall be liable
ratably according to their respective rentable areas in relation to the total
rentable area represented by all such objectors, subject to recoupment from any
applicable refund. Upon receipt of such objections, agreements and
reimbursements, Landlord shall transfer the responsibility for such proceedings
to said objectors who may carry on the same in their own names or Landlord's
name, as may be appropriate, at their own expense and shall be entitled to
recoupment for all of their costs and expenses from any refund obtained, but not
otherwise. If Landlord receives a refund of Taxes covering a period wherein
Tenant has made a Tax Payment, provided that Tenant is not then in default
beyond all applicable notice and cure periods under the Terms, covenants and
conditions of this lease, after deducting the expenses of such proceeding for
which Landlord has not been reimbursed, Landlord shall pay to Tenant Tenant's
Proportionate Tax Share of such refund, but not more than the amount of such Tax
Payment, such obligation to survive the termination of this lease.
43. ADDITIONAL RENTAL FOR OPERATING EXPENSES:
(A) As used herein:
(1) "Operating Expenses" shall mean any or all costs and expenses
paid or incurred by or on behalf of Landlord in connection with the operation,
cleaning, repair, safety, management, security and maintenance of the land and
the building of which the demised premises are a part, not reimbursed to
Landlord by any other tenant except pursuant to lease provisions similar to
those in this Article, including all expenses paid or incurred as a result of
Landlord's compliance with any of its obligations under this lease, and such
expenses shall include: (i) salaries, wages, and the cost of medical, surgical,
union and general welfare benefits (including group life insurance) and pension,
retirement or life insurance or similar benefit plan payments of employees
engaged in the operation and maintenance of the common areas of the building of
which the demised premises are a part who are not above the level of building
manager; the salaries and other benefits aforesaid of such employees servicing
the building shall be comparable with those of employees servicing buildings
similar to the building; (ii) social security, unemployment and other payroll
taxes, the cost of providing disability and workmen's compensation coverage,
uniforms and dry cleaning for the employees referred to in subdivision (i);
(iii) the cost of all charges for electricity, gas, steam, water (including

of all charges for rent, casualty, war risk insurance (if obtainable from the
government) and liability insurance for the building, such insurance to be in
such reasonable amounts and for such reasonable charges as a reasonable person
would obtain and pay for when acting prudently in the ownership of the building;
(v) the cost of all building and cleaning supplies, tools, materials and
equipment for the common areas of the building and charges for telephone for the
building provided such costs and charges are comparable with those of similar
buildings; (vi) the cost of all charges for window cleaning, concierge, guard,
watchmen and other security personnel, service or system, if any, provided such
costs and charges are comparable with those of similar buildings; (vii) the cost
of all structural repairs for the entire building and the cost of all repairs,

of Operating Expenses reasonably varies with the tenant occupancy level of the
building; (xvi) association fees and dues and (xvii) exterior and interior
landscaping. To the extent that any item of Operating Expenses reasonably varies
with the tenant occupancy level of the building, such item of Operating Expenses
shall be calculated as if 95% of the rentable square footage of the building had
been leased to tenants; provided, however, if during any Operational Year
subsequent to the Expense Base Year the occupancy rate is greater than 95%, then
Landlord shall use such higher percentage for determining the variable expenses
for such Operational Year, and shall recalculate the Expense Base Year with
respect to such variable expenses as if the occupancy rate for the Expense Base
Year were the same as the occupancy rate for such Operational Year for which
such comparison is being made.
"Operating Expenses", however, shall not include
(i) real estate taxes;
(ii) assessments;
(iii) mortgage interest, principal, late fees, origination fees
and amortization;
(iv) rent under a ground, underlying or superior lease;

capital or structural expenditures made by reason of
legal requirements or insurance requirements (except that
any expenditures for capital improvements required by
Local Law No. 5 of the City of New York shall not be
deemed "Operating Expenses" hereunder), in any of which
cases the cost thereof shall be included in Operating
Expenses for the Operational Year in which the costs are
incurred and subsequent Operational Years, amortized on a
straight-line basis over an appropriate period based upon
the estimated useful life of the improvement, with an
interest factor equal to the Interest Rate referred to in
Article 56(B) hereof, at the time of Landlord's having
made such expenditure.
Notwithstanding anything in this Article to the contrary, the
following costs and expenses shall be excluded or deducted from Operating
Expenses, as applicable: (1) costs of constructing, altering, painting and
decorating for any tenant's or other occupant's space; (2) expenses incurred for
construction to prepare space in the building for lease to other parties; (3)
Landlord's income and franchise taxes; (4) depreciation of the building; (5)
advertising and promotional costs in connection with leasing space in the
building to third parties or the sale of the building or any portion thereof;
(6) attorneys' fees and expenses in connection with leasing activities, a sale

leased to tenants, subtenants or other occupants of the building; (7) amounts
recovered by Landlord as insurance proceeds or condemnation awards to the extent
they are compensation for sums previously included in Operating Expenses

services performed in the building; (9) amounts paid to any principals of
Landlord and their families and its affiliates if and only to the extent that

relationship; (10) the cost of electricity furnished to the demised premises or
any other space leased to tenants or occupants of the building; (11) charitable
donations and voluntary contributions of Landlord; (12) the costs of leasehold
improvements contributed to or made for tenants of the building in order to
prepare portions of the building for occupancy by a new tenant; (13) the cost of
any repair or other work necessitated by the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or its agents or employees or contractors or by
condemnation, fire or other casualties; (14) any damages paid or incurred as a
result of any gross negligence or willful misconduct, or any breach of any lease
of space in the building, by Landlord or any of its agents or employees, and any
attorneys' fees, disbursements and other costs paid or incurred in the
investigation, defense and settlement of claims therefor; (15) the costs for
sculptures, paintings and other objects of fine art purchased by Landlord and
located within or outside the building; (16) the costs of performing work or
furnishing services to or for any tenant, other than Tenant, at Landlord's

Tenant or generally to tenants at Landlord's expense. Operating Expenses shall
also exclude or be reduced by, as applicable, any sums actually received by
Landlord (other than pursuant to an operating expense escalation provision
similar to that in this Article) from any unaffiliated third party with respect
to an item or cost that is otherwise included in Operating Expenses.
If Landlord shall purchase any item of capital equipment or make any
capital expenditure which has the effect of reducing the expenses which would
otherwise be included in Operating Expenses, then the costs of such capital
equipment or capital expenditure are to be included in Operating Expenses for
the Operational Year in which the costs are incurred and subsequent Operational
Years, amortized on a straight-line basis over such period of time as Landlord
reasonably estimates such savings or reductions in Operating Expenses are
expected to equal Landlord's costs for such capital equipment or capital
expenditure with an interest factor equal to the Interest Rate referred to in
Article 56(B) hereof at the time of Landlord's having made said expenditure. If
Landlord shall lease any items of capital equipment designed to result in
savings or reductions in expenses which would otherwise be included in Operating
Expenses, then the rentals and other costs paid pursuant to such leasing shall
be included in Operating Expenses for the Operational Year in which they were
incurred.
(2) "Operational Year" shall mean each period of twelve consecutive
calendar months subsequent to and including the Expense Base Year.
(3) "Projected Operating Expenses" shall mean the Actual Operating
Expenses for the prior Operational Year plus or minus known fixed increases or
decreases. The resultant amount shall be used as a basis for determining the
additional rental payable by Tenant for the next succeeding Operational Year.
(4) "Actual Operating Expenses" shall mean the total of all Operating
Expenses incurred by Landlord for the preceding Operational Year and shall be
used as a basis of adjustment as provided in Sub-Article 43(B).
(5) "Expense Base Year" shall mean the calendar year 1998.
(6) "Tenant's Proportionate Operating Share" shall be 3.584%.
(B) If the Operating Expenses for any Operational Year shall be greater
than the Operating Expenses for the Expense Base Year, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Operating Share of the difference, except that
if the term of this lease shall expire on any day other than the 31st day of
December, then, for the Operational Year in which the term of this lease shall
expire, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant's Proportionate Operating Share of a
fraction of such difference, the denominator of which shall be 365 and the
numerator of
<PAGE>
which shall be the number of days that shall have elapsed from January 1st of
such Operational Year to and including the date of the expiration of the term of
this lease.
Tenant shall pay Landlord as additional rental on the first day of each
month in advance, commencing no earlier than January 1, 1999, a sum equal to
one-twelfth of Tenant's Proportionate Operating Share of the excess, if any, of
the Projected Operating Expenses for the current Operational Year over the
Actual Operating Expenses for the Expense Base Year. In the event Landlord's
statement therefor is furnished to Tenant after the commencement of such current
Operational Year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand
therefor, any amount due to Landlord under the preceding sentence hereof from
the first day of such current Operational Year to the last day of the calendar
month in which such statement is rendered to Tenant. As soon as the same is
available after the expiration of each Operational Year, Landlord shall furnish
Tenant a written detailed statement of the Actual Operating Expenses incurred
for such Operational Year, accompanied by a certified financial statement. In
the event that such statement discloses that the additional rental paid by
Tenant as Tenant's Proportionate Operating Share of the excess of the Projected
Operating Expenses for such Operational Year over the Actual Operating Expenses
for the Expense Base Year was in excess (the "Excess") of Tenant's Proportionate
Operating Share of the excess of the Actual Operating Expenses for such
Operational Year over the Actual Operating Expenses for the Expense Base Year,
then and in such event the amount of the Excess shall be credited by Landlord to
any amounts of fixed rent or additional rent thereafter payable by Tenant. In
the event that the statement discloses that Tenant's Proportionate Operating
Share of the excess of the Actual Operating Expenses for such Operational Year
over the Actual Operating Expenses for the Expense Base Year exceeded the amount
paid by Tenant as Tenant's Proportionate Operating Share of the excess of the
Projected Operating Expenses for such Operational Year over the Actual Operating
Expenses for the Expense Base Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten
(10) days after the rendition of such statement, the amount of the deficiency
shown on said statement.
Landlord's and Tenant's obligations hereunder with respect to periods
within the term of this lease shall survive the expiration of the term of this
lease. All payments hereunder shall be additional rent.
(C) Every notice or statement given by Landlord pursuant to Sub-Article (B)
shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless (i) within one (1) year after
the receipt by Tenant of such notice or statement (including with regard to the
Actual Operating Expenses for the first Operational Year after the Expense Base
Year), Tenant shall notify Landlord that it disputes the correctness of the
notice or statement, specifying the particular respects in which the notice or
statement is claimed to be incorrect, and (ii) if such dispute shall not have
been settled by agreement, Tenant shall submit the dispute within 45 days after
mailing of Tenant's notice of dispute to a reputable independent firm of
certified public accountants, selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which approval shall
be given as long as such certified public accounting firm is one of the
following accounting firms: Ernst & Young, Price Waterhouse, Arthur Andersen,
KPMG Peat Marwick, Coopers & Lybrand and Deloitte & Touche, and not regularly
employed by Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord. The accountants shall be
permitted to select only Landlord's position or Tenant's position, and the
decision of such accountants shall be conclusively binding upon the parties. The
fees and expenses involved in such decision shall be borne by the unsuccessful
party. Pending the determination of such dispute by agreement or decision of the
accountants as aforesaid, Tenant shall pay additional rent in accordance with
Landlord's notice or statement and such payment shall be without prejudice to
Tenant's position. If such accountants shall determine that Landlord's statement
overstated the amount of the payment for the applicable period, Tenant shall be
entitled to credit the excess amount paid by it against the next accruing
monthly installments of fixed rent and additional rental hereunder, with
interest at the Interest Rate.
(D) Landlord agrees to cause its managing agent to keep complete and
accurate books and records of Operating Expenses and to grant Tenant reasonable
access to the books and records of Landlord's managing agent for the purpose of
verifying Operating Expenses and to furnish Tenant at Tenant's expense copies of
any and all bills and vouchers relating thereto
<PAGE>
reasonably requested by Tenant. Tenant recognizes the confidential nature of
such books, records, bills and vouchers and agrees to maintain the information
obtained in strict confidence.
44. TENANT'S INITIAL WORK AND LANDLORD'S WORK CONTRIBUTION:
(A) Tenant intends to perform Tenant Improvements (as hereinafter defined),
in compliance with Articles 3 and 45 and all the other terms, covenants and

the other terms and conditions of this lease, to enable Tenant to fund the
Tenant Improvement Expenses.
As used in this lease, the following terms shall have the following

lease.
(3) "Tenant Improvement Expenses" shall mean only Tenant's
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in performing Tenant Improvements.
(B) Subject to the terms and provisions hereof, Landlord shall disburse
amounts to Tenant from Landlord's Work Contribution to reimburse Tenant for the
Tenant Improvement Expenses. If after disbursement to Tenant of all amounts
necessary to reimburse Tenant for all Tenant Improvement Expenses, there remain
amounts of Landlord's Work Contribution which have not been disbursed, Landlord
shall have no further obligation to pay any such undisbursed amounts to Tenant.
<PAGE>
(C) Tenant shall perform the Tenant Improvements in accordance with all the
terms, covenants and conditions of Articles 3 and 45 of this lease and of this
Article. The Tenant Improvements shall be performed in a good and workmanlike
manner, using new materials and in accordance with good construction practice
and in substantial accordance with Tenant's plans, as approved by Landlord as
provided in Articles 3 and 45 of this lease. Tenant shall have the right to
employ contractors of its choosing to perform the Tenant Improvements, subject
to Landlord's approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Landlord
shall not disapprove Tenant's plans and specifications and Tenant's contractors,
stating in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, within ten (10)
business days after Landlord shall have received Tenant's submission thereof,
such plans and specifications and such contractors submitted by Tenant, as the
case may be, shall be deemed approved by Landlord.
(D) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord from and against all claims, actions and proceedings commenced
by third parties, including any entities or persons in any way related to or
affiliated with Tenant, Tenant's contractors, subcontractors, and their
respective suppliers and materialmen, arising out of or resulting from the
performance of the Tenant Improvements and any applicable law pertaining to such
performance, including all damages, losses, fines, penalties and reasonable
attorneys' fees and disbursements resulting from any such claim, action or
proceeding, to the extent that any such claim, damage, fine, penalty, loss or
expense (A) (1) is attributable to bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, or
to injury to or destruction of tangible property (other than the Tenant
Improvements themselves), and (2) is caused by the act, carelessness, neglect or
improper conduct of Tenant, any architect, contractor, engineer or subcontractor
to the extent retained by and/or acting on behalf of Tenant, anyone directly or
indirectly employed by any one of them or any party for whose acts any of them
may be liable, or (B) arises out of or is attributable to Tenant's failure to
comply with any legal requirements or insurance requirements pertaining to the
performance of Tenant Improvements, including the requirement to obtain all
initial certificates and permits necessary for Tenant to initially occupy the
demised premises which Tenant is, by the terms of this lease, required to
obtain; provided that no such indemnity shall exist to the extent that any of
the foregoing liability is attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct
of Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees (but Tenant and Tenant's
agents, contractors or employees shall not be deemed to be agents, contractors
or employees of Landlord).
(E) (1) Tenant shall submit monthly requisitions upon receipt to Landlord
("Work Requisitions") with respect to Tenant Improvements, setting forth in
reasonable detail and in accordance with mutually agreed upon trade payment
breakdowns and on the percentage of completion basis provided in accordance with
the contract in question (i) the cost incurred by Tenant ("Tenant's Work Cost")
in connection with such Tenant Improvements during the preceding month and, to
the extent not covered by an earlier Work Requisition, in any prior month, which
cost shall include the cost of any materials or equipment to be included in such
work and either stored on the job site or if not, then stored elsewhere and
required to be paid for under the contract in question, or any sums paid or
deposited on account of any materials or equipment to be furnished or installed
in connection with such work, and Tenant shall attach thereto invoices
substantiating the payment of such costs, and (ii) the sums held back or
retained by Tenant for such billing period from the Tenant's general contractor
or construction manager, as the case may be, and others in connection with
Tenant Improvements, which shall equal such reasonable retainage as Tenant shall
have negotiated. The amount requested shall equal the amount determined under
clause (i) less the amount determined under clause (ii). Each Work Requisition
shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant's general contractor or
construction manager, as the case may be, and of Tenant's architect that the
Tenant Improvements performed were performed substantially in accordance with
Tenant's plans, as approved by Landlord, and a certificate of Tenant's Chief
Financial Officer certifying that all costs for which Tenant seeks reimbursement
have been incurred by Tenant, and were not previously reimbursed by Landlord to
Tenant hereunder and all such costs are Tenant Improvement Expenses.
(2) Within 10 days after the receipt of each such Requisition,
Landlord shall issue a certificate of payment, together with payment of all
amounts set forth in such certificate, to Tenant for the amount of such
Requisition which Landlord determines is properly due. If Landlord determines
that all or any part of a Requisition is not properly due, Landlord shall give
notice to Tenant, within such 10-day period, setting forth in reasonable detail
the grounds
<PAGE>
therefor. Grounds, among others, upon which Landlord may determine that the
amount of a Work Requisition is not properly due are (i) defective work which
has not been corrected and the aggregate cost of correction is greater than the
aggregate amount of the then existing retainage being held under contracts for
such work, (ii) work (other than defective work) which has not been performed
substantially in accordance with Tenant's plans, as approved by Landlord and
(iii) any material inaccuracies in the Work Requisition, including the
percentage of completion achieved, if applicable. Landlord shall nonetheless
issue a certificate of payment and make payment with respect to the portion of
the Requisition that is so approved by Landlord. When such grounds are removed,
Landlord shall certify for payment and make payment of the amount that Landlord
previously determined should be withheld because of them.
(3) With respect to each Requisition, the amount thereof shall be
deemed due from and paid by Landlord as a charge against Landlord's Work
Contribution in accordance with Subdivision (5) below until Landlord's Work
Contribution shall have been exhausted, and thereafter Tenant shall pay all
amounts necessary to complete the Tenant Improvements.
(4) Tenant shall have the right to dispute any determination made by
Landlord under subdivision (2) above by submitting such dispute to speedy
arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in New York City, to be
decided in accordance with its rules, except that the arbitrators shall be free
to select as their decision only Landlord's position or Tenant's position and
the substantially unsuccessful party shall pay the costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, of the substantially successful party.
(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Article, if at the time any Requisition is paid or required to be paid, Tenant
shall be in default under any of the terms of this lease, Landlord shall have no
obligation to pay any Requisition, whether or not approved, and Tenant shall
advance the full amount of such Requisition, but only in the event Tenant shall
cure such default Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for such payment (or
pay such Requisition, as the case may be, to the extent that Tenant shall have
not prior thereto advanced payment of such Requisition) to the extent of any
Landlord's Work Contribution which has not been exhausted.
(F) Tenant shall, within 30 days after executing the contract with its
general contractor or construction manager for the Tenant Improvements and each
30 days thereafter, furnish to Landlord, solely for information purposes, a
current reasonably estimated, progress schedule with respect to the performance
of the Tenant Improvements.
(G) To the extent possible, Tenant shall arrange to perform the Tenant
Improvements so that as little overtime work as possible is performed and as few
additional personnel are used, and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in
connection therewith, so that the Tenant Improvements shall be performed as
efficiently as possible.
(H) Prior to final payment for the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall cause
the general contractor or construction manager, as the case may be, to deliver
to Landlord all of the mylar reproducible "as-built" drawings for the Tenant
Improvements, as well as a single shop drawing showing all mechanical and
sprinkler installations and lighting fixtures within hung ceilings of each
portion of the demised premises which was submitted by the general contractor or
construction manager, as the case may be, and approved by Landlord prior to the
installation of such work.
(I) Each contract or subcontract which Tenant, its general contractor or
construction manager enters into with respect to the performance of any portion
of the Tenant Improvements shall provide in substance that the contractor or
subcontractor, as the case may be, shall not be paid for any defective work
which has not been remedied; provided that Tenant may elect to advance all or
any part of such withheld funds to pay for any such defective work without
reimbursement from Landlord, and Landlord shall so reimburse Tenant in
accordance with and subject to the terms of this Article when such defect is
remedied.
(J) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article to the contrary, any item
which this Article expressly provides to be paid or deemed due from Landlord as
a charge against Landlord's Work Contribution shall only be required to be paid
by or deemed due from Landlord to the extent such item, when aggregated with the
amount of all other items previously charged
<PAGE>
against Landlord's Work Contribution, shall not exceed the total sum of
Landlord's Work Contribution.
(K) If Landlord shall fail to make payment to Tenant of any Requisition
which is required to be paid to Tenant under this Article and if Tenant shall
recover a final judgment against Landlord as a result of such failure of
Landlord, Tenant may offset the amount of such final judgment against the fixed
rent and additional rent thereafter coming due under this lease. The
substantially prevailing party in Tenant's action to obtain such final judgment
shall be entitled to recover its reasonable legal fees in such action against
the other party to such action. If Landlord is such substantially prevailing
party, the amount of Landlord's reasonable legal fees shall be deemed to be
additional rent under this lease, due and payable within ten (10) days after
Landlord's demand therefor, and if Tenant is such substantially prevailing
party, the amount of Tenant's reasonable legal fees may be offset against the
fixed rent and additional rent thereafter coming due under this lease.
45. TENANT'S CHANGES:
Supplementing the provisions of Article 3:
(A) Tenant may from time to time during the term of this lease with
Landlord's prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, at
Tenant's expense, make such alterations, installations, additions, improvements
and decorations (including, without limitation, construction of a mezzanine to
the maximum size permitted by applicable law (and the same shall not be the
basis for an increase in fixed rent or additional rent), and installation of
skylights within the demised premises through the upper roof of the 16'h floor
of the building, subject to all of the other terms and conditions of this
Article and of the remainder of this lease and subject to Landlord's right, in
Landlord's sole discretion, to require Tenant at the expiration of the term of
this lease, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to remove such mezzanine and
skylights and to restore the affected areas to their condition existing
immediately prior to the construction of such mezzanine and skylights, Landlord
agreeing to cooperate, at no cost or expense to Landlord, with Tenant in
connection with Tenant's obtaining all necessary governmental approvals for the
construction and installation of such mezzanine and skylights) (hereinafter
collectively called "changes" and as applied to changes provided for in this
Article, "Tenant's Changes", it being understood and agreed that such term
includes all Tenant Improvements, as such term is defined in Article 44, and all
work which any other provision of this lease authorizes Tenant to perform, it
being understood that, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 44 or any other
such provision of this lease, such work shall be performed subject to the terms
and conditions of this Article), in and to the demised premises, but excluding
structural changes or changes adversely affecting the systems of the building,
as Tenant may reasonably consider necessary or desirable for the conduct of its
business in the demised premises on the following conditions:
(i) The strength of the building, or of any of the columns and beams
of the building shall not be affected.
(ii) No part of the building outside of the demised premises shall be,
directly or indirectly, physically or aesthetically affected.
(iii) The proper functioning of any of the mechanical, electrical,
sanitary and other service systems of the building shall not be adversely
affected, or the usage of such systems by Tenant shall not be materially
increased.
(iv) In performing the work involved in making such changes, Tenant
shall be bound by and observe all of the conditions and covenants contained in
the following sections of this Article, in all the other Articles of this lease,
and in the Rules and Regulations.
(v) Before proceeding with any change Tenant shall submit to Landlord
plans and specifications for the work to be done. If Landlord shall not
disapprove the plans and specifications submitted by Tenant, stating in
reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, within ten (10) business
days (or with respect to the plans and specifications for the construction of
the mezzanine and installation of skylights, within fifteen (15) business days)
after Landlord shall have received Tenant's submission thereof, such plans and
specifications submitted by Tenant shall be deemed approved by Landlord.
<PAGE>
(vi) In Landlord's reasonable judgment, the outside appearance of the
building shall not be adversely affected, except that changes may be made to the
Roof/Set-Back Area as provided in Article 59 of this lease.
(vii) All contractors and subcontractors shall be selected by Tenant
from Landlord's list of approved contractors and subcontractors, and if Tenant
uses any of the contractors or subcontractors on Landlord's list, such
contractors or subcontractors shall be deemed approved by Landlord for the work
for which Tenant has requested such list, or if none of such contractors or
subcontractors on Landlord's list are acceptable to Tenant, Tenant shall submit
the names of the contractors or subcontractors which Tenant desires to use, for
Landlord's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If
Landlord shall not disapprove the contractors or subcontractors submitted by
Tenant, stating in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, within
ten (10) business days after Landlord shall have received Tenant's submission
thereof, such contractors or subcontractors submitted by Tenant shall be deemed
approved by Landlord. It is understood that this clause (vii) applies to repairs
to be made by Tenant pursuant to Article 4 of this lease.
(viii) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand, as additional rent,
for Landlord's actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with
Landlord's review of plans and other construction documents (as well as any
other review work provided elsewhere in this lease).
(ix) Landlord may require Tenant to perform all such work at such
times and in such manner as to minimize interference with the use of the
building by the other tenants and occupants thereof, including, if necessary,
performing such work on an "overtime" basis where it is reasonably anticipated
that there may be such interference.
(x) Tenant shall use William Vittacco Associates, presently located at
60 Hudson Street in Manhattan, or its successor if such firm as Tenant's
expediters for matters relating only to the change to the Certificate of
Occupancy.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may, without the consent of
Landlord, paint, carpet and perform similar decorative changes, and may make
other non-structural changes to the demised premises, that cost $100,000 or less
at any one time, provided that such changes do not adversely affect the
structure or systems of the building and do not affect space outside the demised
premises.
(B) Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain all necessary governmental and
quasi-governmental permits, approvals and certificates for the commencement and
prosecution of Tenant's Changes before performing any Tenant's Changes, and for
final approval thereof upon completion, and shall cause Tenant's Changes to be
performed in compliance therewith and with all applicable laws and requirements
of public authorities, and with all applicable requirements of insurance bodies,
and in good and workmanlike manner, using materials and equipment at least equal
in quality and class to the original installations in the building. All fixtures
and all paneling, partitions (except to the extent moveable without damage to
the demised premises), railings and like installations and all other property
installed by Tenant shall be deemed to be part of the demised premises. Tenant's
Changes shall be performed in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with
or delay or impose any additional expense Upon Landlord in the maintenance or
operation of the building unless Tenant shall indemnify Landlord therefor to the
latter's reasonable satisfaction. Throughout the performance of Tenant's
Changes, Tenant, at its expense shall carry, or cause to be carried, with
respect to all workmen performing the same workmen's compensation insurance in
statutory limits and general liability, personal and property damage insurance
for any occurrence in or about the building arising out of the work, the
policies and certificates for which shall name Landlord and its agents as
parties insured, in such limits as Landlord may reasonably prescribe, with
insurers satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall furnish Landlord with reasonably
satisfactory evidence that such insurance is in effect at or before the
commencement of Tenant's Changes and, on request, at reasonable intervals
thereafter during the continuance of Tenant's Changes. In Landlord's sole
discretion, at the expiration of the term, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, shall remove any alterations made by Tenant (or Landlord on Tenant's
behalf) to the Roof/Set-Back Area and restore the affected area to its condition
existing immediately prior to the construction of such alterations. In
Landlord's sole discretion, at the expiration of the term, Tenant shall also be
required, at Tenant's sole cost and
<PAGE>
expense, to remove the mezzanine and skylights, as provided above, and any
installations which are special to Tenant's use of the demised premises, such
installations including by way of example only, internal stairways, health
facilities, cafeterias, computer rooms, vaults and safes of unusual size,
antennae, microwave dishes and any improved penetrations to the exterior of the
building, and to restore the affected areas to their condition existing
immediately prior to the construction of such installations, but Tenant shall
not be required to remove any other installations at the expiration of this
lease.
(C) Tenant, at its expense, and with diligence and dispatch, shall procure
the cancellation or discharge of all notices of violation arising from or
otherwise connected with Tenant's Changes which shall be issued by the
Department of Buildings or any other public authority having or asserting
jurisdiction. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord against
any and all mechanic's and other liens filed in connection with Tenant's
Changes, including the liens of any conditional sales of, or chattel mortgages
upon, any materials, fixtures or articles so installed in and constituting part
of the demised premises and against all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred
in connection with any such liens, conditional sale or chattel mortgage or any
action or proceeding brought thereon. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure the
satisfaction or discharge by bonding or otherwise of all such liens within
thirty (30) days after Landlord makes written demand therefor. However, nothing
herein contained shall prevent Tenant from contesting in good faith and at its
own expense any such notice of violation provided that:
(1) Landlord shall not be subject to criminal penalty or to
prosecution for a crime (unless such prosecution is stayed) nor shall the
demised premises or any part thereof be subject to being condemned or vacated,
by reason of noncompliance or otherwise by reason of such contest;
(2) Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against
all liability, loss or damage which Landlord shall suffer by reason of such
non-compliance or contest, including reasonable attorney's fees and other
expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord;
(3) such non-compliance or contest shall not constitute or result in
any violation of any superior lease or superior mortgage, or if such superior
lease and/or superior mortgage shall permit such non-compliance or contest on
condition of the taking of action or furnishing of security by Landlord, such
action shall be taken and such security shall be furnished at the expense of
Tenant; and
(4) Tenant shall keep Landlord advised as to the status of such
proceedings.
Without limiting the application of subdivision (1) above thereto,
Landlord shall be deemed subject to prosecution for a crime within the meaning
of said subdivision, if Landlord, or any officer of Landlord individually, is
charged with a crime of any kind or degree whatever, whether by service of a
summons or otherwise, unless such charge is withdrawn before Landlord or such
officer (as the case may be) is required to plead or answer thereto.
(D) Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to procure and maintain, without
expense or liability on the part of the Landlord (unless indemnified to
Landlord's reasonable satisfaction), any of the governmental permits and
certificates referred to in "(B") above.
(E) Tenant agrees that the exercise of its rights pursuant to the
provisions of this Article shall not be done in a manner which would create any
work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption or dispute or violate union contracts
affecting the land and building nor unreasonable interference with the business
of Landlord or any tenant or occupant of the building.
(F) Tenant shall defend, indemnify and save harmless Landlord from and
against any damage to the building and from and against any claims for damages
or injuries or loss of life resulting from all demolition and construction in
connection with Tenant's Changes, except to the extent any of the foregoing are
caused by the negligence of Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees.
<PAGE>
46. BROKER:
Tenant warrants and represents that it has dealt with no brokers other than
Insignia/Edward S. Gordon Company Inc. ("Gordon") and Newmark & Company Real
Estate, Inc. ("Newmark") in connection with this lease. Tenant agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and expenses, against any claims for brokerage commission in connection
with this lease arising out of any conversations or negotiations had by Tenant
with any broker other than Gordon and Newmark. Landlord will pay the leasing
commission due to Gordon and Newmark pursuant to a separate agreement or
agreements and will indemnify Tenant for all claims of brokers which have dealt
with Landlord in connection with this lease and not dealt with Tenant.
47. EXCULPATORY CLAUSE:
If Landlord or any successor in interest be an individual, joint venture,
tenancy-in-common, co-partnership, unincorporated association, limited liability
company or other unincorporated aggregate of individuals (all of which are
referred to below, individually and collectively, as an "unincorporated
landlord"), then, anything elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant
shall look solely to the estate and interest of Landlord in the land and
building (including all insurance and condemnation proceeds, but only to the
extent not used for repair or restoration of the demised premises or building)
of which the demised premises are a part, for the satisfaction of Tenant's
remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) or
arbitration award or decision requiring the payment of money by Landlord in the
event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the terms,
covenants, and conditions of this lease to be observed and/or performed by
Landlord, and no other property or assets of such unincorporated landlord shall
be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the
satisfaction of Tenant's remedies.
If Landlord or any successor in interest be a corporation, then, anything
elsewhere to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall look solely to the
estate and interest of such incorporated Landlord in the land and building
(including all insurance and condemnation proceeds, but only to the extent not
used for repair or restoration of the demised premises or building) for the
satisfaction of Tenant's remedies in the event of a breach or default by
Landlord of any of its obligations under this lease. Landlord represents that it
is the fee owner of the building and land and that it has the authority to
execute and deliver this lease.
48. INDEMNITY - LIABILITY INSURANCE:
Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord and its agents against
and from (i) any and all claims (a) arising from (x) the conduct or management
of the demised premises or of any business therein, or (y) any work or thing
whatsoever done, or any condition created in or about the demised premises
during the term hereof or during the period of time, if any, prior to the
Commencement Date that Tenant may have been given access to the demised
premises, except to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors (but Tenant and
Tenant's agents, employees or contractors shall not be deemed to be agents,
employees or contractors of Landlord) or (b) arising from any negligent or
otherwise wrongful act or omission of Tenant or any of its subtenants or
licensees or their employees, agents, visitors, invitees or contractors or
subcontractors of any tier, and (ii) all costs, expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) and liabilities incurred in or in
connection with each such claim or action or proceeding brought thereon. In case
any action or proceeding be brought against Landlord by reason of any such
claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall resist and defend such action or
proceeding at Tenant's expense by counsel selected by Tenant and reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord (any counsel selected by Tenant's insurance carrier
shall be deemed approved by Landlord), without any disclaimer of liability in
connection with such claim.
Tenant covenants, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, to provide on or
before the Commencement Date and to keep in force during the term hereof for the
benefit of Landlord, Landlord's agent and Tenant a comprehensive policy or
policies of liability insurance protecting Landlord, Landlord's agent, and
Tenant against any liability whatsoever occasioned by an accident on or about
the demised premises or any appurtenances thereto or in connection with the use
and occupancy of the demised premises or any part thereof, with the limits of
liability
<PAGE>
thereunder not being less than the amount of Ten Million ($10,000,000.00)
Dollars for personal injury or death per person and per occurrence and for
property damage, such limits of insurance being subject to such reasonable
increase as Landlord may from time to time (but not more frequently than once in
any 12 month period) reasonably require so that the amount thereof is sufficient
in Landlord's reasonable judgment to protect Landlord's interests.
The aforesaid comprehensive policy or policies of liability insurance
(which may include umbrella coverage) shall include a broad form contractual
liability endorsement protecting Tenant against loss arising out of liabilities
for bodily injury, death or property damage assumed by Tenant under this lease
by indemnity or otherwise and shall also contain a severability clause or
endorsement pursuant to which each named insured and additional insured shall be
entitled to the protection of such policy with respect to liabilities to the
other named and additional insured.
Tenant shall also provide on and before the Commencement Date and keep in
force during the term hereof "all risk", extended coverage property insurance
covering all of Tenant Changes and all of Tenant's property in or on the demised
premises to a limit of not less than 100% of the full replacement cost thereof,
but, in any event, in an amount sufficient to avoid the effects of co-insurance
in the event of loss, protecting, as named insured, Landlord, Landlord's agent
and Tenant.
Such policy or policies shall be written by good solvent insurance
companies, licensed to do business in New York State carrying a Best's (or
successor rating organization) rating of A, Category X or the then equivalent of
such rating, or the next lower rating if there shall not be at least two (2)
such insurers carrying such a rating and writing such insurance for quality
buildings in Manhattan.
All such insurance may be carried under a blanket policy or policies
covering the demised premises and other locations of Tenant (provided such
blanket policies shall otherwise comply with the provisions of this Article and
shall afford the same protection to Landlord as would be provided by policies
individually applicable to the demised premises or Tenant's Changes and Tenant's
property, as the case may be) and may contain deductible provisions totalling no
more than $15,000.00 for the first five years of the initial term, $30,000.00
for the balance of the initial term and $50,000.00 for the renewal term.
Prior to the Commencement Date and thereafter at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of any such policy, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord
either a duplicate original of each policy or a certificate or certificates
evidencing such insurance, provided said policy and said certificate or
certificates contain an endorsement that such insurance may not be cancelled
except upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord, together with
evidence of payment for the policy.
Tenant's failure to provide and keep in force all the aforementioned
insurance shall be regarded as a material default hereunder entitling Landlord
to exercise any or all of the remedies as provided in this lease in the event of
Tenant's default.
Landlord shall indemnify and save harmless Tenant from and against (i) any
and all claims which could result in liability to Tenant to the extent arising
out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees
and contractors (but Tenant and any other tenants and occupants in the building,
and their respective agents, employees and contractors, shall not be deemed to
be agents, employees or contractors of Landlord) and (ii) all costs, expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) and liabilities
incurred in or in connection with each such claim or action or proceeding
brought thereon. In case any action or proceeding be brought against Tenant by
reason of any such claim, Landlord, upon notice from Tenant, shall resist and
defend such action or proceeding at Landlord's expense by counsel selected by
Landlord and reasonably satisfactory to Tenant (any counsel selected by
Landlord's insurance carrier shall be deemed approved by Tenant), without any
disclaimer of liability in connection with such claim.
49. CERTIFICATES:
Landlord and Tenant shall, without charge at any time and from time to
time, within fifteen (15) days after request by the other, certify by written
instrument, duly executed,
<PAGE>
acknowledged and delivered to any mortgagee, assignee of any mortgage or
purchaser, or permitted subtenant or any other person, firm or corporation
specified by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be:
(a) that this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if
there has been modification, that the same is in full force and effect as
modified and stating the modifications);
(b) whether or not, to the best of the requested party's knowledge,
there are then existing any setoffs or defenses against the enforcement of any
of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions hereof upon the part of the
requested party to be performed or complied with (and, if so, specifying the
same);
(c) the dates, if any, to which the rental and other charges hereunder
have been paid in advance; and
(d) any other information with respect to this lease or the compliance
with the terms, covenants and conditions thereof reasonably requested by the
requesting party.
50. HOLDING OVER BY TENANT:
Should Tenant hold over in possession after the expiration or sooner
termination of the term of this lease, such holding over shall not be deemed to
extend the term or renew this lease, but such holding over thereafter shall
continue upon the covenants and conditions herein set forth except that the
charge for use and occupancy of such holding over for each calendar month or
part thereof (even if such part shall be a small fraction of a calendar month)
shall be the sum of:
(a) 1/12th of (i) the highest annual fixed rent hereunder, multiplied
by (ii) (A) 2.0, plus
(b) 1/12th of all items of annual additional rental hereunder, which
annual additional rental would have been payable pursuant to this lease had this
lease not expired, plus
(c) those other items of additional rent (not annual additional rent)
which would have been payable monthly pursuant to this lease, had this lease not
expired,
which total sum Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon demand, in full
without set off. Nothing contained herein shall authorize Tenant to hold over in
the demised premises after the expiration of the term of this lease, or
constitute Landlord's consent thereto, Landlord having all remedies provided for
by this lease or by law (subject to Article 56(L) of this lease) in the event of
any such holding over.
The aforesaid provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or
sooner termination of this lease.
51. LEASE NOT BINDING UNLESS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED:
It is specifically understood and agreed that this lease is offered to
Tenant for signature by the managing agent of the building, solely in its
capacity as such agent and subject to Landlord's acceptance and approval and
that Tenant shall affix its signature with the understanding that the said lease
shall not in any way bind Landlord or its agent or Tenant until such time as the
same has been approved and executed by Landlord and delivered to Tenant.
52. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING:
(A) Tenant shall not, without, in each instance, obtaining the prior
written consent of Landlord (which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole
discretion), except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article, (a) assign
or otherwise transfer this lease or the term and estate hereby granted, (b)
sublet the demised premises or any part thereof or allow the same to be used or
occupied by others, (c) mortgage, encumber or create a security interest with
respect to this lease, or (d) advertise, or authorize a broker to advertise, for
a subtenant or an assignee at a rental rate less than the rental rate then being
charged, or in good faith asked, by Landlord for comparable space in the
building. For purposes of this Article, (i) the transfer of a controlling
<PAGE>
interest in any corporate, partnership, or limited liability company tenant or
subtenant, however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series
of related or unrelated transactions, which shall be other than for a good
business purpose and principally for the purpose of transferring the leasehold
estate created thereby shall be deemed an assignment of this lease, or of such
sublease, as the case may be, it being understood and agreed that the transfer
of an interest in any corporate tenant or subtenant shall be deemed not to
include the sale of the stock of such corporate tenant or subtenant by persons
or parties through the "over-the-counter market" or through any recognized stock
exchange, (ii) a takeover agreement shall be deemed a transfer of this lease,
(iii) any person or legal representative of Tenant, to whom Tenant's interest
under this lease passes by operation of law, or otherwise, shall be bound by the
provisions of this Article, and (iv) a material modification, amendment or
extension of a sublease shall be deemed a sublease. A "material modification,
amendment or extension" shall be deemed to be any modification which materially
affects the rent, term, size or location of the affected space, or the parties
leasing or occupying space thereunder. As used herein, the phrase "controlling
interest" shall mean such interest in the corporation, partnership or limited
liability company, as the case may be, so that the owner of such interest shall
be able to direct the policies of such corporation, partnership or limited
liability company.
(B) The provisions of clause (a) of Sub-Article (A) and of Sub-Articles
(F), (G) and (H) hereof shall not apply to transactions with a corporation or
limited liability company or partnership into or with which Tenant is merged or
consolidated or with an entity to which substantially all of Tenant's assets are
transferred (provided such merger or consolidation or transfer of assets is for
a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the
leasehold estate created hereby), nor shall the provisions of clause (a) of
SubArticle (A) and of Sub-Articles (F), (G) and (H) apply to transactions with
an entity which controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control
with Tenant, provided that the corporation, limited liability company,
partnership or entity which shall succeed Tenant pursuant to this Sub-Article
(B) shall have a net worth immediately following such merger, consolidation,
transfer of assets or other transaction, determined on the basis of its most
recent balance sheet, as audited by a firm of independent certified public
accountants, which shall not be less than the lower of (x) that of Tenant
immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, transfer of assets or other
transaction, or (y) $30,000,000 and all of such transactions referred to in this
sentence may occur without the consent of Landlord. Further, the provisions of
clause (b) of Sub-Article (A) and Sub-Articles (F), (G) and (H) shall not apply
to transactions with an entity which controls or is controlled by Tenant or is
under common control with Tenant, and all of such transactions referred to in
this sentence may occur without the consent of Landlord.
The provisions of clause (a) of Sub-Article (A) and of Sub-Articles
(F), (G) and (H) hereof shall not be interpreted to apply to transactions by a
subtenant with a corporation or limited liability company or partnership into or
with which such subtenant is merged or consolidated or with an entity to which
substantially all of such subtenant's assets are transferred (provided such
merger or consolidation or transfer of assets is for a good business purpose and
not principally for the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created by
the sublease to such subtenant), nor shall the provisions of clause (a) of
Sub-Article (A) and of Sub-Articles (F), (G) and (H) be interpreted to apply to
transactions by a subtenant with an entity which controls or is controlled by or
is under common control with such subtenant.
(C) Any assignment or transfer, whether made with Landlord's consent as
required by Sub-Article (A) or without Landlord's consent pursuant to
Sub-Article (B) or otherwise, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective
until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby
the assignee shall assume the obligations and performance of this lease and
agree to be personally bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements,
terms, provisions and conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed or
observed from and after such assignment and whereby the assignee shall agree
that the provisions of this Article shall, notwithstanding such an assignment or
transfer, continue to be binding upon it in the future. DoubleClick Inc. the
original Tenant named in this Lease, and each subsequent holder of the Tenant's
interest in this Lease (DoubleClick Inc. and each such subsequent holder is
hereinafter called "Such Tenant" in this Sub-Article (C) and in Sub-Article (D))
covenant that, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in
violation of the provisions of this lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of
fixed rent or additional rent or other charges by Landlord from an assignee or
<PAGE>
transferee or any other party, Such Tenant shall remain fully and primarily
liable for the payment of the fixed rent and all additional rent and other
charges due and to become due under this lease and for the performance of all of
the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this lease on the
part of Tenant to be performed or observed.
(D) The liability of Such Tenant, and the due performance by Such Tenant of
the obligations on its part to be performed under this Lease, shall not be
discharged, released or impaired in any respect by an agreement or stipulation
made by Landlord or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, by way of mortgage, or
otherwise, extending the time of, or modifying any of the obligations contained
in, this lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce any of the
obligations on Tenant's part to be performed under this lease, or by the
bankruptcy of Such Tenant or of the assignee or transferee from Such Tenant or
the rejection or disaffirmance of this lease in connection with the bankruptcy
proceedings affecting Such Tenant or such assignee or transferee, or by any
other events or circumstances, other than the full and complete performance of
all of Such Tenant's obligations under this lease, and Such Tenant shall,
therefore, in all events continue to be primarily liable hereunder. If any such
agreement or stipulation operates to increase the obligations of Such Tenant
under this lease, the liability under this Sub-Article (D) of Such Tenant
(unless Such Tenant shall have expressly consented in writing to such agreement
or stipulation) shall continue to be no greater than if such agreement or
stipulation had not been made.
(E) Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay Landlord's consent to
an assignment of this lease or a subletting of the whole or any part of the
demised premises if (i) Tenant shall have given Landlord Tenant's Assignment
Notice, as such term is defined in Sub-Article (F) of this Article, or Tenant's
Sublease Notice, as such term is defined in Sub-Article (G) of this Article, as
the case may be, (ii) Tenant shall have furnished Landlord with the name and
business address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, reasonably detailed
information with respect to the nature and character of the proposed assignee's
or subtenant's business, activities and intended use of the demised premises,
and such references and current financial information with respect to net worth,
credit and financial responsibility as are reasonably satisfactory to Landlord,
(iii) Tenant shall have provided Landlord with a true and correct copy of the
fully executed assignment agreement or sublease and of all other documents
executed in connection therewith and (iv) Landlord shall not have accepted one
of Tenant's offers as provided in Sub-Articles (F) and (G) of this Article,
provided that:
(1) The proposed assignee or subtenant is a reputable party and the
proposed assignee or the proposed subtenant (where, after the proposed subtenant
would take occupancy of the space proposed to be sublet to such proposed
subtenant, Tenant would not be in occupancy of more than twenty-five (251)
percent of the demised premises) have a financial net worth, credit and
financial responsibility which is, considering the responsibilities involved,
reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(2) The nature and character of the proposed subtenant or assignee,
its business, activities and intended use of the demised premises is, in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, in keeping with the standards of the building
and in accordance with the use defined in Article 2 hereof;
(3) If Landlord has other comparable space then available, the
proposed assignee or subtenant is not then an occupant of the building or a
party who negotiated with Landlord or Landlord's agent (directly or through a
broker) with respect to space in the building during the four (4) months
immediately preceding Tenant's request for Landlord's consent;
(4) Tenant shall, upon Landlord's giving its consent hereunder, or if
Landlord shall have reasonably refused to give such consent, upon such refusal,
have paid Landlord, as additional rent, any reasonable cost incurred by Landlord
to review the requested consent, including any reasonable attorneys' fees of
outside counsel incurred by Landlord;
(5) The proposed subtenant is not an employment or recruitment agency,
a school, college, university or educational institution, whether or not for
profit, a government or any subdivision or agency thereof, a real estate
brokerage office, or a medical office;
<PAGE>
(6) Each sublease agreement, as the case may be, shall specifically
state that (i) it is subject to and upon all of the terms, covenants,
agreements, provisions, and conditions of this lease except that a subtenant
shall not be responsible for payment of the rent and additional rent under this
lease, (ii) if Tenant defaults in the payment of any rent after expiration of
any notice or grace period, Landlord is authorized to collect any rents due or
owing from any subtenant or other occupant of the demised premises and to apply
the net amounts collected to the fixed annual rent and additional rent reserved
herein, and (iii) the receipt by Landlord of any amounts from a subtenant or
other occupant of any part of the demised premises shall not be deemed or
construed as releasing Tenant from Tenant's obligations hereunder or the
acceptance of that party as a direct tenant;
(7) Tenant shall not publicly advertise, or authorize a broker to
advertise, for an assignee or a subtenant, at a rental rate less than the rental
rate then being charged, or in good faith asked, by Landlord for comparable
space in the building; and
(8) No subletting shall be for less than ten thousand (10,000)
contiguous rentable square feet of the demised premises and at no time shall
there be more than two (2) occupants, including Tenant, in the demised premises.
(F) Should Tenant desire to assign this lease, Tenant shall first give
Landlord written notice ("Tenant's Assignment Notice") of Tenant's desire and
offer to (i) terminate this lease and (ii) assign this lease to Landlord, or
Landlord's designee if so elected by Landlord, and notify Landlord of the
material terms and conditions upon which Tenant proposes to effect such
assignment. Tenant shall specify in Tenant's Assignment Notice the effective
date of its desired assignment, which shall be on the first day of a month no
less than two calendar months from the date that Tenant gives Landlord Tenant's
Assignment Notice, and Landlord shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of
Tenant's Assignment Notice to accept one of Tenant's offers. Tenant's Assignment
Notice shall also be accompanied by a photocopy of the provisions of this
Sub-Article (F).
If Landlord shall notify Tenant that it elects to accept either of
Tenant's offers within said thirty (30) days, then, depending on Landlord's
election (i) this lease shall terminate on the effective date specified by
Tenant as if it were the date originally set forth in this lease for the
expiration of the term or (ii) Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to
Landlord, or Landlord's designee if so elected by Landlord, an assignment in
form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord's and Tenant's counsel, which
assignment shall be effective as of the date specified by Tenant in Tenant's
Assignment Notice. If Landlord elects to terminate this lease, as referred to in
(i), or to accept an assignment of this lease, as referred to in(ii), Tenant
shall be released from any further liability (except that due to any default by
Tenant prior to Landlord's election) under this lease. If Landlord should not
accept either of such offers and Tenant does not consummate an assignment within
six months from the end of the aforementioned thirty (30) day period, the
economic terms of which in the aggregate shall not be more than five (5%)
percent less than the economic terms in the aggregate which were contained in
Tenant's Assignment Notice, the provisions of this Sub-Article (F) shall apply
again as if there had been no prior offers to Landlord. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Landlord elects to accept an assignment of this lease to Landlord,
or its designee, Tenant shall be released from any other obligations accruing
after the effective date of such assignment.
(G) (1) If Tenant shall desire to sublet all or any part of the demised
premises, Tenant shall first give Landlord written notice ("Tenant's Sublease
Notice") of Tenant's desire and offer to: (x) in the case of a subletting of the
entire demised premises (i) terminate this lease if such subletting is for
substantially the remaining term of this lease, and (ii) assign this lease to
Landlord, or Landlord's designee if so elected by Landlord, if such subletting
is for substantially the remaining term of this lease, and (iii) sublease the
demised premises to Landlord, or Landlord's designee if so elected by Landlord,
for the term of the proposed subletting if such subletting is not for
substantially the remaining term of this lease or (y) in the case of a
subletting of less than the entire demised premises: (i) to sublease such
portion of the demised premises to Landlord, or Landlord's designee if so
elected by Landlord, for the term of the proposed subletting if such subletting
is not for substantially the remaining term of this lease or (ii) if such
subletting is for substantially the remaining term of this lease, to surrender
all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to such portion of the demised
premises covered by the proposed
<PAGE>
sublease, and in the case of either (x) or (y), notify Landlord of the terms and
conditions upon which Tenant proposes to effect subletting. Tenant shall specify
in Tenant's Sublease Notice the effective date of its desired sublease, which
shall be on the first day of a month no less than one calendar month from the
date that Tenant gives Landlord Tenant's Sublease Notice, and Landlord shall
have thirty (30) days from receipt of Tenant's Sublease Notice to accept one of
Tenant's offers. Tenant's Sublease Notice shall also be accompanied by a
photocopy of the provisions of this Sub-Article (G).
(2) If Landlord shall notify Tenant that it elects to accept one of
Tenant's offers within said thirty (30) days, then, depending on Landlord's
election, (i) this lease shall terminate on the effective date specified by
Tenant as if it were the date originally set forth in this lease for the
expiration of the term, (ii) Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to
Landlord, or Landlord's designee if so elected by Landlord, an assignment in
form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord's counsel, which assignment shall be
effective as of the date specified by Tenant in Tenant's Sublease Notice, or
(iii) Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver a sublease to Landlord, or
Landlord's designee if so elected by Landlord, which sublease shall be effective
as of the effective date and for the term specified by Tenant in Tenant's
Sublease Notice and shall be on the terms set forth in paragraph (3) of this
Sub-Article (G), or (iv) in the event of a surrender of a portion of the demised
premises, then effective on the date immediately following such surrender the
fixed rent payable by Tenant under this lease shall be reduced on a per rentable
square foot basis as set forth in the table annexed hereto as Exhibit D during
the periods of the term of this lease, as shown in such table, occurring after
such effective date for the portions of the demised premises so surrendered, and
the additional rent payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be equitably
adjusted. If Landlord elects to terminate this lease, as referred to in (i), or
to accept an assignment of this lease as referred to in (ii), Tenant shall be
released from any further liability (except that due to any default by Tenant
prior to Landlord's election) under this lease If Landlord elects to sublease,
or accept the surrender of, all or any portion of the demised premises, as
referred to in (iii) or (iv), and, if after such sublease or surrender Tenant
shall be occupying less than 66 2/3% of the rentable square footage of the
demised premises, Tenant shall be released from any further liability (except
that due to any default by Tenant prior to Landlord's election) with respect to
all or such portion of the demised premises covered by such sublease or
surrender and any prior subleases or surrenders, as the case may be, in the case
of any such subleases for the terms of the respective subleases. If Landlord
should not accept any of such offers and Tenant does not consummate a sublease
within six months from the end of the aforementioned thirty (30) day period, the
economic terms of which in the aggregate shall not be more than five (5%)
percent less than the economic terms in the aggregate which were contained in
Tenant's Sublease Notice, the provisions of this Sub-Article (G) shall apply
again as if there had been no prior offers to Landlord.
(3) If Landlord should elect to have Tenant execute and deliver a
sublease pursuant to the provisions of this Sub-Article, said sublease shall be
in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord's and Tenant's counsel and on all
the terms and conditions contained in this lease, except that:
(a) The rental terms shall be the lesser of (x) the rental terms
reflected in Tenant's Sublease Notice or (y) the rental terms contained in this
lease on a per rentable square foot basis as set forth in the table annexed
hereto as Exhibit D during the periods of the term of this lease, as shown in
such table, occurring after payment of rent is to commence under such sublease
for the portions of the demised premises within which the subleased premises
shall be located,
(b) The sublease shall not provide for any work to be done for
the subtenant or for any initial rent concessions or contain provisions
inapplicable to a sublease, except that in the case of a subletting of a portion
of the demised premises Tenant shall, subject to the provisions of Articles 3
and 45 with respect to Tenant's Changes, at Tenant's sole cost and expense,
separate the sublet space from the remainder of the demised premises (to the
extent necessary), including, but not limited to, the installation of
electricity and steam submeters and water meters,
(c) The subtenant thereunder shall have the right to underlet the
subleased premises, in whole or in part, without Tenant's consent,
<PAGE>
(d) The subtenant thereunder shall have the right to make, or
cause to be made, any changes, alterations, decorations, additions and
improvements that such subtenant may desire or authorize,
(e) Such sublease shall expressly negate any intention that any
estate created by or under such sublease be merged with any other estate held by
either of the parties thereto,
(f) Any consent required of Tenant, as lessor under that
sublease, shall be deemed granted if consent with respect thereto is granted by
Landlord, and there shall be no limitation as to the use of the sublet premises
by the subtenants thereunder,
(g) Any failure of the subtenant thereunder to comply with the
provisions of said sublease shall not constitute a default thereunder or
hereunder, and Tenant shall have no liability with respect to such obligation
thereunder and the same shall not be a basis for a default hereunder,
(h) Such sublease shall provide that upon expiration of the term
of the sublease, at Tenant's option, the subtenant shall deliver the subleased
premises to Tenant in the same condition as the condition in which Tenant
delivered the subleased premises to the subtenant upon the commencement of the
sublease,
(i) Such sublease shall be for the term specified in Tenant's
Sublease Notice, and
(j) If Landlord or Landlord's designee as Tenant's subtenant
pursuant to this Sub-Article shall default in payment of fixed rent or
additional rent pursuant to such sublease and such default shall continue for
more than forty-five (45) days, Tenant shall have the right to offset any rent
due and owing from any undertenant or other occupant of the space against the
fixed annual rent and additional rent reserved under this lease. Furthermore,
Tenant shall not be deemed in default under this lease by reason of a default by
Landlord as subtenant, or Landlord's designee as subtenant, pursuant to such
sublease.
(H) If Landlord shall give its consent to an assignment of this lease or to
a sublease, Tenant shall, in consideration therefor, pay to Landlord, as
additional rent:
(i) in the case of an assignment, an amount equal to fifty (50%)
percent of all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for
or by reason of such assignment (excluding sums reasonably paid for the sale or
rental of trade fixtures, business equipment, furniture, furnishings or other
personal property, less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then net unamortized
or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant's federal income
tax returns) and
(ii) in the case of a sublease, an amount (herein called the "Excess
Amount") equal to fifty (50%) percent of the excess of (x) any fixed rent,
additional rent and other consideration payable to Tenant by the subtenant over
(y) the fixed rent, additional rent and other consideration payable pursuant to
the terms and conditions of this lease accruing during the term of the sublease
in respect of the subleased space, on the basis of the number of rentable square
feet in such subleased space (excluding sums reasonably paid for the sale or
rental of trade fixtures, business equipment, furniture, furnishings or other
personal property, less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then net unamortized
or undepreciated cost thereof determined on the basis of Tenant's federal income
tax returns).
In determining the amount to be paid under (i) above or the Excess
Amount under (ii) above, there shall be deducted solely the aggregate of the
following: (a) the amount of any reasonable broker's fees or commissions paid to
a broker as a result of such assignment or sublease, in no event to exceed the
then customary amount of full commissions and (b) the amount of any reasonable
attorneys' fees, advertising expenses and the cost of any other commercially
reasonable tenant concessions incurred in connection with such assignment or
sublease. The sums payable under this Sub-Article shall be paid to Landlord as
and when paid by the assignee or subtenant to Tenant, with the amounts to be
deducted as provided in the preceding sentence to be deducted in equal monthly
amounts over the term of the sublease.
<PAGE>
(I) If Landlord shall elect to sublease, or accept the surrender of, all or
any portion of the demised premises, as referred to in Sub-Article (G)(2) of
this Article and, if after such sublease or surrender, Tenant shall be occupying
66 2/3% or more of the rentable square footage of the demised premises, Landlord
shall give Tenant a credit against the first rents thereafter coming due under
this lease in an amount equal to fifty (50%) percent of the excess of (x) any
fixed rent, additional rent and other consideration (i) payable to Landlord (or
Landlord's designee)by the sub-subtenant of the space subject to such sublease
(or equitably allocable to such space if the sub-sublease shall also include
additional space leased to such sub-subtenant) in the case of such a sublease of
all or a portion of the demised premises or (ii) payable to Landlord (or
Landlord's designee) by the tenant of the space subject to such surrender (or
equitably allocable to such space if the lease to such tenant shall also include
additional space leased to such tenant) in the case of such a surrender of a
portion of the demised premises over (y) the fixed rent, additional rent and
other consideration payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of this lease
accruing during the term of the sub-sublease or lease, as the case may be, in
respect of the space subject to such sublease or surrender, on the basis of the
number of rentable square feet in such subleased or surrendered space (excluding
sums reasonably paid for the sale or rental of trade fixtures, business
equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property, less, in the case
of a sale thereof, the then net unamortized or undepreciated cost thereof
determined on the basis of Landlord's federal income tax returns).
In determining the amount to be credited to Tenant under the preceding
paragraph, there shall be deducted solely the aggregate of the following: (a)
the amount of any reasonable broker's fees or commissions paid to a broker as a
result of such sub-sublease or lease by Landlord or Landlord's designee, as the
case may be, in no event to exceed the then customary amount of full commissions
and (b) the amount of any reasonable attorneys' fees, advertising expenses and
the cost of any other commercially reasonable tenant concessions incurred in
connection with such sub-sublease or lease, and if such sub-sublease or lease
should include additional space, such amounts to be deducted shall be equitably
allocated to the space subject to such sublease or surrender, as the case may
be. The sums payable under this SubArticle shall be credited to Tenant as and
when paid by the subsubtenant or tenant, as the case may be, to Landlord, with
the amounts to be deducted as provided in the preceding sentence to be deducted
in equal monthly installments over the term of the sub-sublease or lease, as the
case may be.
(J) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, no assignment or
subletting or occupancy of the demised premises by persons or entities other
than Tenant, with or without Landlord's consent, and no collection of rent from
any such person or entity, shall be deemed a waiver of any of the covenants
contained in this Article or elsewhere in this lease, or the acceptance of the
subtenant or occupant as Tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further
performance by Tenant of the covenants on the part of Tenant contained in this
Article and elsewhere in this lease. The consent by Landlord to any assignment
or subletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining
the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or
subletting.
53. TENANT'S OPTION TO RENEW:
(A) Tenant may renew the initial term hereby granted for not more than one
(1) term of five (5) years (the "renewal term"), so that in all events this
lease must terminate, expire and come to an end, including the renewal term, no
later than the sixteenth (16th) anniversary of the Commencement Date.
Tenant shall give Landlord written notice (the "Tenant Exercise Notice") of
its election to renew no later than the 270th day (the "Final Renewal Date")
prior to the expiration of the term of this lease. Provided that Tenant shall
have duly given Landlord the written notice in accordance with the preceding
sentence and subject to all the other terms and conditions contained in this
Article, this lease shall be deemed renewed without the execution of any other
or further documents, provided, however, that after the fixed rent for the
renewal term shall have been determined in accordance with the following
provisions of this Article, either party hereto shall be entitled to obtain from
the other party the execution of an instrument setting forth the additional
period as to which the term of this lease shall have been effectively renewed
and stating the fixed rent for the demised premises for such renewal term.
<PAGE>
The attempted exercise by Tenant of the option to renew this lease shall
not become effective nor shall any renewal term be created if at the time when
notice of the exercise of such option is given or at the start of which would
have been the renewal term, there is a default by Tenant under this lease beyond
all applicable notice and cure periods.
Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant's delivery of the Tenant
Exercise Notice.
The failure of Tenant to effectively and timely exercise the option to
renew the term of this lease shall result in the irrevocable loss by Tenant of
such option to renew the term of this lease.
(B) The renewal shall be upon the same covenants, provisions, terms,
conditions and agreements provided in this lease, including the payment of all
additional rent and other charges hereunder, except that (i) there shall be no
further renewal right, (ii) the fixed annual rent during the renewal term shall
be the amount determined pursuant to Sub-Articles (C) and (D) hereof, (iii) the
"Base Tax Year" referred to in Article 42(A)(iv) hereof shall be changed to the
fiscal tax year immediately preceding the fiscal tax year in which the
commencement of the renewal term shall occur, (iv) the "Expense Base Year"
referred to in Article 43(A)(5) shall be changed to the calendar year
immediately preceding the calendar year in which the commencement of the renewal
term shall occur; and (v) Landlord shall not be required to give any rent
concession to Tenant, as is now provided in Article 38(E) of this lease, or to
give any Landlord's Work Contribution to Tenant for any proposed improvements to
the demised premises, as is now provided for in Article 44 of this lease.
(C) The fixed annual rent payable pursuant to this lease for the renewal
term shall be the greater of (i) such amount as shall equal the fair market rent
for the demised premises on the Determination Date, as determined pursuant to
Sub-Article (D) of this Article (the "Fair Market Rent") and (ii) all fixed
annual rent and all additional rent and other charges payable by Tenant as of
the last day of the initial term of this lease (the "Then Escalated Rent"). As
used herein, the "Determination Date" shall be the date occurring one hundred
twenty (120) days prior to the commencement of the renewal term. If Tenant shall
have duly and timely given Landlord written notice of its election to renew the
term of this lease, within thirty (30) days after the Final Renewal Date
Landlord shall give Tenant notice (the "Renewal Notice") of Landlord's
determination of the Fair Market Rent, the Then Escalated Rent and the new fixed
annual rent that Tenant shall be obligated to pay pursuant to the provisions of
this Article during the renewal term (the "Renewal Rent") to the same effect as
if such fixed annual rent were originally set forth in Article 38 hereof. If
mutually satisfactory terms with respect to the new fixed annual rent are not
reached between Landlord and Tenant no later than the sixtieth (60th) day after
the Final Renewal Date, Tenant shall have the right, no later than the eightieth
(80th) day after the Final Renewal Date, to cancel its election to renew the
term of this lease.
(D) (1) If the Renewal Rent shall equal the Fair Market Rent, as determined
by Landlord, and if Tenant shall not cancel its election to renew the term of
this lease as provided in Sub-Article (C) of this Article, at any time on or
before the date occurring ninety (90) days after the Final Renewal Date, Tenant
may dispute the Fair Market Rent as determined by Landlord by initiating the
arbitration proceeding provided for herein by giving notice ("Dispute Notice")
to that effect to Landlord, and specifying in such notice Tenant's determination
of (i) the Fair Market Rent and (ii) the Renewal Rent, and specifying the name
and address of the person designated to act as an arbitrator on Tenant's behalf.
Within thirty (30) days after the designation of the Tenant's arbitrator,
Landlord shall give notice to Tenant specifying the name and address of the
person designated to act as an arbitrator on its behalf. If Landlord fails to
give notice to Tenant of the appointment of its arbitrator, within the time
above specified, then the appointment of the second arbitrator shall be made in
the same manner as hereinafter provided for the appointment of a third
arbitrator in a case where the two arbitrators appointed hereunder and the
parties are unable to agree upon such appointment. The two arbitrators so chosen
shall meet within ten (10) days after the second arbitrator is appointed and if,
within forty-five (45) days after the second arbitrator is appointed, the two
arbitrators shall not agree upon a determination in accordance with subdivision
(3) of this SubArticle (D), they shall together appoint a third arbitrator. In
the event of their being unable to agree upon such appointment within forty-five
(45) days after the appointment of the second arbitrator, the third arbitrator
shall be selected by the parties themselves if they can agree thereon within a
further period of ten
<PAGE>
(10) days. If the parties do not so agree, then either party, on behalf of both
and on notice to the other, may request such appointment by the American
Arbitration Association (or any successor organization) in New York City in
accordance with its rules then prevailing, or if the American Arbitration
Association (or such successor organization) shall fail to appoint said third
arbitrator within forty-five (45) days after such request is made, then either
party may apply, on notice to the other, to the Supreme Court, New York County,
New York (or any other court having jurisdiction and exercising functions
similar to those now exercised by said Court) for the appointment of such third
arbitrator.
(2) Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the arbitrator
appointed by or for such party, and the fees and expenses of the third
arbitrator and all other expenses (not including the attorneys' fees, witness
fees and similar expenses of the parties, which shall be borne separately by
each of the parties) of the arbitration shall be borne by the parties equally.
(3) In making their determination of the Fair Market Rent, the
arbitrators shall select either the Fair Market Rent set forth by Landlord in
the Renewal Notice or the Fair Market Rent set forth by Tenant in the Dispute
Notice, based on whichever is closer to the value determined by the arbitrators,
and shall not be permitted or authorized to select any other amount as the Fair
Market Rent. The majority of the arbitrators shall make such determination of
the Fair Market Rent and render a decision and award as to their determination
to both Landlord and Tenant within sixty (60) days of the appointment of the
first two arbitrators or ninety (90) days from the appointment of the third
arbitrator if such arbitrator is appointed pursuant to this Sub-Article (D), and
the greater of (i) the Fair Market Rent, so determined, and (ii) the Then
Escalated Rent shall be the Renewal Rent. Such decision and award shall be in
writing and shall be final and conclusive on Landlord and Tenant (there shall be
no right of appeal therefrom) and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered
to each of the parties. In rendering such decision and award, the arbitrators
shall not add to or subtract from or otherwise modify the provisions of this
Article or of the other terms and conditions of this lease. Judgment may be had
on the decision and award of the arbitrators so rendered in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
(4) The Fair Market Rent shall be determined as if the demised
premises were to be leased to a third party for office space free and clear of
all leases and tenancies, including this lease, in its then condition, with no
obligation on Landlord to provide the third party with a Landlord's Work
Contribution or a free rent concession or to do any work to prepare the demised
premises for occupancy by a third party, but with obligations on Landlord to
provide updated base years for tax and operating expense escalations as provided
in Sub-Article (B), supra, and to perform all other obligations of Landlord
under this lease and with the third party receiving all the benefits that Tenant
receives under this lease (other than Landlord's Work Contribution and a free
rent concession).
(5) Each of the arbitrators selected as herein provided must be either
a member of the Appraisal Institute (or the successor organization thereto if
such organization shall not then be in existence) holding an MAT designation (or
the equivalent thereof if there shall not then be such a designation) or a
member of the American Society of Real Estate Counselors of the National
Association of Realtors (or the successor organization thereto if such
organization shall not then be in existence) holding a CRE designation (or the
equivalent thereof if there shall not then be such a designation) with at least
15 years' experience in the appraisal of rentals of commercial leases in first
class office buildings in New York County.
(6) Prior to the determination of the arbitrators, Tenant shall pay as
the Renewal Rent it is obligated to pay under this lease the amount set forth in
the Renewal Notice and in the event the Renewal Rent as finally determined for
the demised premises is that set forth in the Dispute Notice, then Landlord
shall promptly pay the difference to Tenant.
54. TENANT'S ADDITIONAL COVENANTS:
(A) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this lease, Tenant shall be
responsible for compliance with all laws, codes, rules and regulations with
respect to the operations of the demised premises and any use related thereto,
and shall, in all events, be responsible that nothing shall arise from such

damage to the building. Tenant shall, in no event, have any liability with
respect to any violations of any applicable law, which violations existed prior
to the Commencement Date.
<PAGE>
(B) Tenant, recognizing that the building has been developed and is
maintained as a location for a first-class type of business occupancy and as an
additional inducement to the Landlord to enter into this lease, covenants and
agrees that at all times (i) all activities and operations to be conducted at,
through and from the demised premises (including the recreational outdoor uses

such manner and within such reasonable time as may be specified by Landlord in a
written notice given by it to Tenant for such purpose; (ii) the methods employed
in Tenant's business and the appearance of the demised premises (including the

recreational outdoor uses permitted under this lease) will be dignified and in
conformity with the highest standard of practice obtaining among superior type
office spaces, and (iii) the appearance and deportment of all personnel employed
in the demised premises (including those participating in the recreational
outdoor uses of the Roof/Set-Back Area permitted pursuant to Article 2 of this
lease) (taking into consideration the recreational outdoor uses permitted under
this lease) shall befit the ambience and first-class nature of the building and
occupancy required hereunder, and the appearance, number, location, nature and
subject matter of any signs, lettering, announcements, price schedules, or any
other kinds or forms of inscriptions displayed in the demised premises will be
only such as meet with Landlord's reasonable approval and, if at any time
reasonably disapproved by Landlord, Tenant shall remove the cause for such
disapproval in such manner and within such reasonable time as may be specified
by Landlord in a written notice given by Landlord to Tenant for such purpose. No
sale of merchandise, other than snacks and refreshments from vending machines
for employee use, shall be made from the demised premises.
(C) The Tenant further covenants and agrees that:

frames therefor) in the interior or exterior of the demised premises and shall
be responsible for cleaning the inside and outside of all interior and exterior
windows of the demised premises (notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this subdivision "(1)" however, it is Tenant's obligation, at

negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, contractors or
employees);
(2) Tenant shall at all times keep and maintain the demised premises

outside of the demised premises, any signs, without first obtaining in each
instance, Landlord's prior written consent and approval. Tenant acknowledges
that the foregoing is an essential condition of this lease, it being Landlord's
intention not to permit in any way the diminishing of the dignity and character
of the building by Tenant exhibiting or posting signs which, in Landlord's sole
discretion, would impede and lessen the character and dignity of the building;
(4) all draperies and other such installations affecting the
appearance of the building, or which are visible from the outside of the demised
premises shall be subject to prior written approval of Landlord, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but this provision shall not
restrict the recreational outdoor use of the Roof/Set-Back Area permitted
pursuant to Article 2 of this lease, subject to all the other terms, covenants
and conditions of this lease;
(5) Tenant shall cause the demised premises to be free at all times of
all vermin and insects and will take whatever reasonable precautions that

not limited to, the hiring by Tenant of an exterminator to provide regular
monthly service (and more often if need be) to the demised premises;

into a service contract with a contractor approved by Landlord prior to the
execution of such contract for the repair and maintenance of Tenant's fire alarm
subsystem during the lease term, such repair and maintenance to be at Tenant's
sole cost and expense, and upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with a true and correct copy of the service contract for Tenant's fire
alarm subsystem;
(9) Tenant shall not install, place or permit any awning, antenna or
other projection on the outside wall of the demised premises without the
approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and, with respect to the installation of any awning, antenna or other
projection on any wall of the Roof/Set-Back Area, such installation shall be
performed in compliance with the terms and conditions of Articles 3, 45 and 59
of this lease;
(10) Any failure or refusal on the part of Tenant to comply with its
obligations and agreements contained in this Article shall constitute a material
default under this lease entitling Landlord to exercise all of its rights
contained herein or provided by law or in equity in the event of a breach
hereunder by Tenant, including, without limitation, the right to terminate this
lease.
(D) Except for the sublease and sub-sublease of Tenant's improvements and

sheet of assets and liabilities of Tenant, certified by a duly authorized
officer of Tenant.

of occupancy issued for the building.
(D) If any governmental license or permit shall be required for the proper
and lawful conduct of Tenant's business in the demised premises or its use
without any license or permit would in any way affect Landlord or the building,
then Tenant, at its expense, shall duly procure and thereafter maintain such
license or permit and submit the same to Landlord for inspection.
(E) Tenant agrees that the value of the demised premises and the reputation
of the Owner will be seriously injured it the premises are used for any obscene

Tenant's sole recourse shall be to obtain an immediate expedited arbitration of
the dispute with one arbitrator selected by the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the Management Division of the Real Estate Board of New York, Inc.,
or any successor organization thereto. The arbitrator shall be an impartial real
estate broker in New York City having at least ten years' experience in the

and conclusive upon the parties.
(E) If Tenant fails to make any repairs or perform any work which Tenant is

tenant on an equal basis, including the sharing, on an equal basis with such
other tenant, of all obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses imposed by
this lease with respect to such loading bay and freight elevator on Tenant. Upon
the election by the 12th floor tenant to use such loading bay and freight
elevator, the same shall be deemed deleted from the demised premises, and in
lieu thereof, Tenant and such 12th floor tenant shall share the exclusive use of
the loading dock and freight elevator; Landlord shall thereafter be required to
maintain the same at its cost and expense, and Tenant shall be obligated to
reimburse Landlord for 50% of the costs thereof as additional rent under this

and sub-sublease shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to this lease
and Landlord's rights and remedies under this lease.
(O) Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's expense, to amend the
certificate of occupancy of the building to permit office use of the Interior

and Letter of Credit to Landlord together with the Restoration Notice.
57. SUBORDINATION:
(A) This lease shall be subject and subordinate to all Superior Leases and
Superior Mortgages (as such terms are hereinafter defined), provided that (a) a
mortgagee (i.e., a holder of a mortgage on the land and/or building and of all
renewals, modifications, supplements, consolidations, replacements and
extensions of any such mortgage ("Superior Mortgage") shall execute and deliver
to Tenant an agreement in recordable form to the effect that, if there shall be
a foreclosure of its mortgage, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or other exercise of
rights under the Superior Mortgage, such mortgagee will not make Tenant a party
defendant to such foreclosure, evict Tenant, disturb Tenant's possession under
this lease, or terminate or disturb Tenant's leasehold estate or rights
hereunder, and will recognize Tenant as the direct tenant of such mortgagee on
the same terms and conditions as are contained in this lease, subject to the
provisions hereinafter set forth, provided no event of default shall have
occurred and be continuing hereunder beyond all applicable notice and cure
periods, or (b) any ground lessor shall execute and deliver to Tenant an
agreement to the effect that if its ground or underlying lease of the land or
the building and all renewals, extensions, supplements, amendments and
modifications thereof ("Superior Lease") shall terminate or be terminated for
any reason, or if the holder of such Superior Lease exercises any other rights
under the Superior Lease, the ground lessor will not evict Tenant, disturb
Tenant's possession under the lease, or terminate or disturb Tenant's leasehold
estate or rights hereunder, and will recognize Tenant as the direct tenant of
such ground lessor on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this
lease (subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth), provided no event of
default shall have occurred and be continuing beyond all applicable notice and
cure periods hereunder and ground lessor shall not make Tenant a party in any
action to terminate any such Superior Lease or to remove or evict Tenant from
the demised premises provided no event of default shall have occurred and be
continuing beyond all applicable notice and cure periods hereunder (any such
agreement, or any agreement of similar import, from a mortgagee or a ground
lessor, as the case may be, being hereinafter referred to as a "Nondisturbance
Agreement", shall be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F). This clause shall
be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required
from Tenant to make the interest of any lessor or mortgagee superior to the
interest of Tenant hereunder, provided that Tenant receives a fully executed
original Nondisturbance Agreement in recordable form from the holder of each
such Superior Mortgage or Superior Lease. Tenant, however, shall execute and
deliver promptly the Nondisturbance Agreement, provided such agreement is
substantially in the same form as that annexed hereto as Exhibit F. in
confirmation of such subordination. Landlord represents that no Superior
Mortgage or Superior Lease exists as of the Commencement Date.
(B) If required by the mortgagee or the ground lessor, within ten (10)
business days after notice thereof, Tenant shall join in any Nondisturbance
Agreement to indicate its concurrence with the provisions thereof and its
agreement to attorn to such mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be, as
Tenant's landlord hereunder, and Tenant shall promptly so accept, execute and
deliver any Nondisturbance Agreement proposed by any such mortgagee or ground
lessor which conforms to the provisions of this Article and is in the form of
Exhibit F annexed hereto.
58. SECURITY:
(A) Concurrently with Tenant's execution and delivery to Landlord of this
lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a "clean", unconditional, irrevocable
and transferable letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") issued by and drawn
on Chase Manhattan Bank (or a bank the main office of which is located in New
York City) and which is satisfactory to Landlord, for the account of Landlord,
as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms,
covenants, conditions and provisions of this lease, including, without

Letter of Credit (or, as the case may be, the Substitute Letter of Credit with
respect to which the Cancellation Notice was received) and retain the proceeds
thereof as cash security in lieu of the Letter of Credit (or, as the case may
be, the Substitute Letter of Credit with respect to which the Cancellation
Notice was received) until Tenant shall have provided Landlord with a new
Substitute Letter of Credit.

periods in respect of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of
this lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of rent and additional
rent, Landlord may present the Letter of Credit for payment, to the extent of,
and may use, apply or retain the proceeds thereof for, (i) the payment of any
rent, additional rent or other sum as to which Tenant is in default, (ii) any
sum which Landlord may expend or be required to expend (including attorneys'
fees and disbursements) by reason of Tenant's default, including, without
limitation, any damages or deficiency incurred or suffered by Landlord with
respect to the re-letting of the premises, whether such damage or deficiency
accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord, (iii)
any damage, liability, cost or expense (including attorneys' fees and
disbursements) incurred or suffered by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default,
and (iv) any liens, judgments, costs, expenses, damages, losses and liabilities
(whether or not in connection with litigation) incurred or suffered by Landlord
by reason of Tenant's failure to fully satisfy Tenant's indemnity, defense and
hold harmless obligations pursuant to any of the provisions of this lease. If
Landlord uses, applies or retains any part of the proceeds of the Letter of
Credit, Tenant, within twenty (20) days after demand, shall deposit with
Landlord, or reinstate the full amount of the Letter of Credit then required to
be maintained, the amount so used, applied or retained so that Landlord shall
have the full security on hand at all times during the term of this lease.
(C) In the event that Tenant is not in default with respect to any of the
monetary terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this lease upon the
expiration of the initial term of this lease, that portion of the Letter of
Credit that has not been used, applied or retained by Landlord pursuant to
SubArticle (B) of this Article shall be returned to Tenant, together with a
letter from Landlord addressed to the issuer of the Letter of Credit authorizing
cancellation of the Letter of Credit.
(D) In the event of a sale of the land and/or building or the leasing of
the building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit to the vendee or
lessee, as the case may be, and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant
from all liability for the return of, and with respect to, the Letter of Credit
and Tenant shall cause the bank which issued the Letter of Credit to issue an
amendment to the Letter of Credit or to issue a new Letter of Credit naming the
vendee or lessee as the beneficiary thereunder, provided that the previous
beneficiary of the Letter of Credit shall have delivered a letter from such
beneficiary addressed to the issuer of the Letter of Credit authorizing such
amendment of the Letter of Credit, or the cancellation of the existing Letter of
Credit in the case of the issuance of a new Letter of Credit. Upon such transfer
by Landlord of the Letter of Credit, Tenant agrees to and shall look solely to
such vendee or lessee, as the case may be, as the new landlord, for the return
of the whole or any portion of the Letter of Credit. The provisions of this
Article shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the Letter of Credit to a
new landlord.
(E) Tenant shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber
the Letter of Credit. Landlord, its successor and assigns, shall not be bound by
any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance of
the Letter of Credit by Tenant.

any such improvements and installations, shall submit detailed plans and
specifications thereof to Landlord for Landlord's consent, not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, showing the size and location thereof and the
manner in which such improvements and installations shall be secured to the
roof.
(C) FAR.
If the building's available Floor Area Ratio ("FAR") is, diminished by
reason of any installations made by Tenant to the Roof/Set-Back Area, Landlord,
at its election (to be exercised only if Landlord then requires such FAR
rights), shall have the right to have Tenant remove any particular roof
installation, at Tenant's cost and expense, that was the cause of such
diminution in available FAR; provided that Tenant shall have the right to
reasonably contest the issue as to whether such installation diminishes FAR, but
if such contest shall not be finally determined within 60 days, Tenant shall
remove the installations during the pendency of the contest.
(D) RESTORATION.
Tenant, at Landlord's election, by notice given to Tenant not later
than 180 days prior to the expiration of the term of this lease, shall restore

improvements.

________________________, New York, New York ___________ (the "MORTGAGEE"), and
[put in name and address of Tenant] (the "TENANT");
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS the Mortgagee is the present owner and holder of a certain mortgage
or mortgages (the "Mortgage") encumbering the premises located in the Borough
and County of ________________________ City and State of ______________________,
known as _______________________________________________________ (the
"PREMISES") and more particularly described on Exhibit A annexed hereto;
WHEREAS the Tenant is the holder of a leasehold estate in a portion of the
Premises under and pursuant to the provisions of a certain lease dated
_________________________ with ___________________________________________, as
landlord (the "LEASE"); and
WHEREAS the Tenant has agreed to subordinate the Lease to the Mortgage and
to the lien thereof and the Mortgagee has agreed to grant non-disturbance to the
Tenant under the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of Ten ($10) Dollars and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Mortgagee and the Tenant hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. The Tenant agrees that the Lease and all of the terms, covenants and
provisions thereof and all rights, remedies and options of the Tenant thereunder
are and shall at all times continue to be subject and subordinate in all
respects to the Mortgage and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof
and to the lien thereof and to any and all increases, renewals, modifications,
spreaders, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, and to any and
all sums secured thereby, with the same force and effect as if the Mortgage had
been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution and delivery of the
Lease.
2. The Mortgagee agrees that if any action or proceeding is commenced by
the Mortgagee to foreclose the Mortgage or to sell the Premises or to take any
other action under or with respect to the Mortgage, the Tenant shall not be
named as a party in any such action nor shall the Tenant be named a party in
connection with any sale of the Premises, provided that at the time of the
commencement of any such action or proceeding or at the time of any such sale
the Tenant shall not be in default under any of the monetary or other material
terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or of this Agreement on the part of
the Tenant to be observed or performed thereunder or hereunder after expiration
of any applicable notice and/or cure periods, unless applicable law requires the
Tenant to be made a party thereto as a condition to proceeding against the
Landlord or protecting such rights and remedies. In the latter case, the
Mortgagee may join the Tenant as a defendant in such action only for such
purposes and not to terminate the Lease.
3. The Tenant agrees that if the Mortgagee or any successors in interest to
the Mortgagee shall become the owner of the Premises by reason of the
foreclosure of the Mortgage or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, the Lease shall not be terminated or affected thereby
but shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between

<PAGE>
the Mortgagee and the Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set
forth in the Lease and in that event the Tenant agrees to attorn to the
Mortgagee and the Mortgagee agrees to accept such attornment, provided, however,
that the provisions of the Mortgage shall govern with respect to the disposition
of any casualty insurance proceeds (unless the Mortgage provisions are
inconsistent with the Lease provisions, in which event the Lease provisions
shall control) or condemnation awards (except that if John Hancock Mutual Life
Insurance Company or any affiliate of John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company
is the Mortgagee, the provisions of the Lease shall govern with respect to the
disposition of any casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation awards) and the
Mortgagee shall not be (i) obligated to complete any construction work required
to be done by the Landlord (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the provisions
of the Lease or to reimburse the Tenant for any construction work done by the
Tenant except for Landlord's Work Contribution to be paid pursuant to Article 44
of the Lease; (ii) liable for any obligation of the Landlord, or for any act or
omission of the Landlord, to be performed prior to such foreclosure or sale, but
Mortgagee (or any successor of Mortgagee) shall be liable for any obligation of
the Landlord, or any act or omission of the Landlord, to the extent to be
performed, or occurring, after Mortgagee has taken possession of the Premises
and become the Landlord; (iii) subject to any offsets, claims or counterclaims
which shall have accrued to the Tenant against the Landlord prior to the date on
which the Mortgagee or its successor in interest shall become the owner of the
Premises, except for any offset specifically provided for in the Lease; and (iv)
liable for any security deposit or other monies not actually received by the
Mortgagee.
4. The Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee
(i) enter into any agreement amending, modifying or terminating the Lease, (ii)
prepay any of the rents, additional rents or other sums due under the Lease for
more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof, (iii) voluntarily
surrender the premises demised under the Lease or terminate the Lease without
cause or shorten the term thereof; or (iv) assign the Lease or sublet the
premises demised under the Lease or any part thereof except in accordance with
Article 52 of the Lease; and any such amendment, modification, termination,
prepayment or voluntary surrender without the prior written consent of the
Mortgagee shall not be binding on the Mortgagee, provided, however, in no event
shall the foregoing affect any of the Tenant's rights, if any, to terminate the
Lease pursuant to express provisions contained in the Lease.
5. The Tenant hereby represents and warrants to the Mortgagee that as of
the date hereof (i) the Tenant is the owner and holder of the tenant's interest
under the Lease, (ii) the Lease has not been modified or amended except as may
otherwise be provided above, (iii) the Lease is in full force and effect and the
term thereof commenced on ____________, pursuant to the provisions thereof, (iv)
to the extent factually accurate, the premises demised under the Lease have been
completed and the Tenant has taken possession of the same on a rent paying
basis, (v) to the extent factually accurate, neither the Tenant nor, to the best
of Tenant's knowledge, the Landlord is in default beyond all applicable notice
and cure periods under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of the Lease
and the Tenant, to the best of its knowledge, knows of no event which but for
the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an event of
default by the Tenant or the Landlord under the Lease, (vi) to the extent
factually accurate, neither the Tenant nor the Landlord has commenced any action
or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating the Lease, (vii)
all rents, additional rents and other sums due and payable under the Lease have
been paid in full and no rents, additional rents or other sums payable under the
Lease have been paid for more than one (1) month in advance of the due dates
thereof, and (viii) to the extent factually accurate, to the best of Tenant's
knowledge, there are no offsets or defenses to the payment of the rents,
additional rents, or other sums payable under the Lease.
6. The Tenant shall notify the Mortgagee of any default by the Landlord
under the Lease or any other circumstance which would entitle the Tenant to
cancel or terminate the Lease other than by reason of fire or condemnation (but
any notice that Tenant shall give Landlord in the event of fire or condemnation
shall simultaneously be given in the same manner to Mortgagee) or abate the
rents, additional rents or other sums payable thereunder, and agrees that,
notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of
cancellation, termination or abatement thereof shall be effective unless the
Mortgagee shall have received notice of the default or other circumstance giving
rise to such cancellation, termination or abatement and shall have failed within
forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notice to cure such default or remedy
such circumstance, or if such default cannot be cured or such circumstance
remedied within forty-five (45) days, shall have failed within forty-five (45)
days after receipt of such notice to commence to cure such default or remedy
such circumstance and
<PAGE>
to thereafter diligently pursue any action necessary to cure such default or
remedy such circumstance, as the case may be, provided, however, in no event
