On or about December 19, 2000, the Land and the Building were subjected to the provisions of Article 9-B of the New York Real Property Law (herein called the “Condominium Act”), thereby creating The One Liberty Plaza Condominium (herein called the “Condominium”) in accordance with that certain Declaration Establishing a Plan for Condominium Ownership of Premises Located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ Pursuant to Article 9-B of the Real Property Law of the State of New York (as the same has thereafter been amended by that certain First Amendment to Declaration of Condominium dated December 18, 2002, herein called the “Condominium Declaration”). The units of the Condominium are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Unit” and collectively as “Units.” The Condominium was formed for the sole purpose of facilitating the receipt by a tenant of the Building (herein called the “Tax-Benefit Tenant”) of certain tax benefits, which was accomplished by: (i) creating the Condominium, (ii) conveying the Units containing the premises theretofore demised to the Tax-Benefit Tenant (herein called the “▇▇▇ Units”) to the New York City Industrial Development Agency (herein called the “▇▇▇”), a tax-exempt entity, with Landlord retaining a reversionary interest and (iii) requiring the ▇▇▇ to immediately lease back the ▇▇▇ Units to Landlord pursuant to a lease demising to Landlord all of benefits and burdens of ownership of the ▇▇▇ Units (herein called, together with any additional such leases that may be entered into as set forth in the immediately following sentence hereof, the “▇▇▇ Leaseback”). Pursuant to Landlord’s lease with the Tax-Benefit Tenant (herein called the “Tax-Benefit Lease”), Landlord may from time to time convey additional Units to the ▇▇▇ in the same manner as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence in connection with the leasing of additional premises in the Building to the Tax-Benefit Tenant. 37.02. As more particularly set forth in the Condominium Declaration, it is intended that Landlord, as either the owner or the holder of an ▇▇▇ Leaseback with respect to all of the Units of the Condominium, will operate the entire Land and the entire Building as if Landlord were the owner of the entire Land and the entire Building and the Land and the Building were not owned in the condominium form of ownership. Accordingly, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall be administered in the same manner as would be the case if Landlord were the sole fee simple owner of the Land and the Building outside the condominium form of ownership and nothing contained in the Condominium Declaration (including, without limitation, the By-Laws of the Condominium annexed thereto), as same may be amended from time to time, shall be construed to increase Tenant’s obligations or diminish Tenant’s rights under this Lease. 37.03. On or about December 19, 2000, Landlord’s predecessor-in-interest, WFP One Liberty Plaza Co. L.P., entered into an agreement with The City of New York (as the same has thereafter been amended by that certain First Amendment to Tax Agreement dated December 30, 2002, herein called the “Tax Agreement”) pursuant to which, notwithstanding the subdivision of the pre-existing single tax lot for the Land and the Building (herein called the “Existing Tax Lot”) into individual tax lots for each of the Units (herein called the “New Tax Lots”) in connection with the formation of the Condominium: (i) the aggregate assessed real estate tax value (herein called the “Aggregate Value”) of the New Tax Lots will be the same as the assessed value that the Existing Tax Lot would have received from time to time had the Existing Tax Lot not been subjected to condominium status and not been subdivided into the New Tax Lots; (ii) each New Tax Lot will have an assessed real estate tax value equal to its share of the Aggregate Value, which will be the same percentage share assigned to the corresponding Unit in the Condominium Declaration; (iii) Landlord will have the right to contest the Aggregate Value only with respect to all of the New Tax Lots in the aggregate, and will not have the right to contest the assessed real estate tax value for one or more Units on an individual basis; (iv) the City of New York will accept as valid a single application for review of assessed valuation and a single petition for judicial review of assessed valuation, each of which shall (x) aggregate the assessments of the New Tax Lots, (y) state a single aggregated value for the aggregated New Tax Lots and (z) be a single request for assessment reduction of the Aggregate Value of the New Tax Lots; (v) any reductions in the Aggregate Value will be apportioned in accordance with the percentage shares assigned to the Units in the Condominium Declaration; and (vi) the income and expense statements required pursuant to Section 11-208.1 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York and any other statements, documents or instruments required to be submitted by Landlord relating to the assessment of real estate taxes shall in each case be submitted for all of the New Tax Lots as a single whole, and not for any individual Unit. 37.04. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, for purposes of applying the provisions of Article 3 of this Lease with respect to the calculation of the Tax Payment payable by Tenant from time to time, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Taxes “payable” by Landlord for any Tax Year shall be deemed to be the same amount of Taxes that would otherwise be “payable” by Landlord with respect to the Real Property but for the exemption of any ▇▇▇ Units from one or more components of Taxes for such Tax Year (i.e., as if the Land and the Building had not been subjected to the provisions of the Condominium Act). Thus, there shall be added to the Taxes actually payable by Landlord with respect to any such Tax Year, the aggregate amount of Taxes from which any ▇▇▇ Units are exempted for such Tax Year (herein called the “Exempted Tax Amount”). In computing the Exempted Tax Amount, any tax abatement or exemption that would otherwise apply to the ▇▇▇ Units, but for their pre-existing exemption from Taxes, shall be taken into account. Thus, for example, if in any Tax Year the City of New York institutes a program providing for an across-the-board five percent (5%) abatement of Taxes payable with respect to commercial office buildings in Manhattan, said five percent (5%) abatement shall be taken into account in computing the Exempted Tax Amount. 37.05. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the provisions of the first sentence of Section 3.02(b) of this Lease shall not apply to any refund of Taxes received by Landlord for any Tax Year if and to the extent that such refund consists of Taxes paid with respect to any ▇▇▇ Unit for a period of time that such ▇▇▇ Unit was exempt from such Taxes (e.g., if an ▇▇▇ Unit is conveyed by Landlord to the ▇▇▇, there is a delay in taking such ▇▇▇ Unit off of the City’s tax rolls and Taxes are paid by Landlord with respect to such ▇▇▇ Unit for a period with respect to which such ▇▇▇ Unit is exempt from such Taxes). 37.06. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.01(e) of this Lease, the term “Operating Expenses” shall not include common charges of the Condominium, if and to the extent that such common charges duplicate or are in excess of amounts otherwise properly includable in Operating Expenses in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease (i.e., the determination of whether and to what extent an item of expense is includable as an Operating Expense in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease shall be made without regard to whether the amount of such item is payable by Landlord as part of common charges or directly to a third party).
