PORTA SYSTEMS CORP., having an office at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
party of the second part, herein referred to as TENANT,
Witnesseth: Owner hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires from Owner
Suite 170
(Substantially as shown on the attached sketch)
in the building known as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (the
"Building"), for the term of five (5) years
(or until such term shall sooner cease and expire as hereinafter provided) to
commence on the Commencement Date
and to end on the Expiration Date, both dates inclusive, at an annual
rental rate as shown on Schedule "A" annexed hereto, and made a part
hereof, which sets forth the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date and
the annual rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder,
which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay in lawful money of the United States which shall be
legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time
of payment, in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each
month during said term, at the office of Owner or such other place as Owner may
designate, without any set off or deduction whatsoever, except that Tenant shall
pay the first 1st monthly installment(s) on the execution hereof (unless this
lease be a renewal).
In the event that, at the commencement of the term of this lease, or
thereafter, Tenant shall be in default in the payment of rent to Owner pursuant
to the terms of another lease with Owner or with Owner's predecessor in
interest, Owner may at Owner's option and without notice to Tenant add the
amount of such arrears to any monthly installment of rent payable hereunder and
the same shall be payable to Owner as additional rent.
The parties hereto, for themselves, their heirs, distributes, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby covenant
as follows:
Rent: 1. Tenant shall pay the rent as above and as hereinafter provided.
Occupancy: 2. Tenant shall use and occupy demised premises for executive and
administrative offices for Tenant's telecommunications business and for light
assembly of telecommunication devices incidental thereto, and for no other
purpose.
Tenant Alterations
3. Tenant shall make no changes in or to the demised premises of any nature
without Owner's prior written consent. Subject to the prior written consent of
Owner, and to the provisions of this article, Tenant at Tenant's expense, may
make alterations, installations, additions or improvements which are
non-structural and which do not affect utility services or plumbing and
electrical lines, in or to the interior of the demised premises by using
contractors or mechanics first approved by Owner. Tenant shall, before making
any alterations, additions, installations or improvements, at its expense,
obtain all permits, approval and certificates required by any governmental or
quasi-governmental bodies and (upon completion) certificates of final approval
thereof and shall deliver promptly duplicates of all such permits, approvals and
certificates to Owner and Tenant agrees to carry and will cause ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
contractors and sub-contractors to carry such ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ compensation, general
liability, personal and property damage insurance as Owner may require. If any
mechanic's lien is filed against the demised premises, or the building of which
the same forms a part, for work claimed to have been done for, or materials
furnished to, Tenant, whether or not done pursuant to this article, the same
shall be discharged by Tenant within thirty days thereafter, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
expense, by filing the bond required by law. All fixtures and all paneling,
partitions, railings and like installations, installed in the premises at any
time, either by Tenant or by Owner on Tenants behalf, shall, upon installation
become the property of the Owner and shall remain upon and be, surrendered with
the demised premise unless Owner, by notice to Tenant no later than twenty days
prior to the date fixed as the termination of this lease, elects to relinquish
Owner's right thereto and to have them removed by Tenant, in which event the
same shall be removed from the premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the
lease, at Tenant's expense. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to give
Owner title to or prevent Tenants removal of trade fixtures, moveable office
furniture and equipment, but upon removal of any such from the premises or upon
removal of other installations as may be required by Owner, Tenant shall
immediately and at its expense, repair and restore the premises to the condition
existing prior to installation and repair any damage to the demised premises or
the building due to such removal. All property permitted or required to be
removed, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ at the end of the term remaining in the premises after
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s removal shall be deemed abandoned and may, at the election of Owner,
either be retained as Owner's property or removed from the premises by Owner, at
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s expense.
Maintenance and Repairs:
4. Tenant shall, throughout the term of this lease, take good care of the
demised premises and the fixtures appurtenances therein. Tenant shall be
responsible for all damage or injury to the demised premises or any other part
of the building and the systems and equipment thereof, whether requiring
structural or nonstructural repairs caused by or resulting from carelessness,
omission, neglect or improper conduct of Tenant, Tenant's subtenants, agents,
employees, invitees or licensees, or which arise out of any work, labor, service
or equipment done for or supplied to Tenant or any subtenant or arising out of
the installation, use or operation of the property or equipment of Tenant or any
subtenant. Tenant shall also repair all damage to the building and the demised
premises caused by the moving of Tenant's fixtures, furniture and equipment.
Tenant shall promptly make, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s expense, all repairs in and to the
demised premises for which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ is responsible, using only the contractor for
the trade or trades in question, selected from a list of at least two
contractors per trade submitted by Owner. Any other repairs in or to the
building or the facilities and systems thereof for which Tenant is responsible
shall be performed by Owner at the Tenant's expense. Owner shall maintain in
good working order and repair the exterior and the structural portions of the
building, including the structural portions of its demised premises, and the
public portions of the building interior and the building plumbing and
electrical systems (to the extent such systems presently exist) serving the
demised premises. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to give prompt notice of any defective condition
in the premises for which Owner may be responsible hereunder. There shall be no
allowance to Tenant for diminution of rental value and no liability on the part
of Owner by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising
from Owner or others making repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in
or to any portion of the building or the demised premises or in and to the
fixtures, appurtenances or equipment thereof. It is specifically agreed that
Tenant shall not be entitled to any set off or reduction of rent by reason of
any failure of Owner to comply with the covenants of this or any other article
of this Lease. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s sole remedy at law in such instance
will be by way of an action for damages for breach of contract. The provisions
of this Article 4 shall not apply in the case of fire or other casualty which
are dealt with in Article 9 hereof.
Window Cleaning:
5. Tenant will not clean nor require, permit, suffer or allow any window in the
demised premises to be cleaned from the outside in violation of Section 202 of
the labor law or any other applicable law or of the Rules of the Board of
Standards and Appeals, or of any other Board or body having or asserting
jurisdiction.
Requirements of Law, Fire Insurance Floor Loads:
6. Prior to the commencement of the lease term, if Tenant is then in possession,
and at all times thereafter, Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense, shall
promptly comply with all present and future laws, orders and regulations of all
state, federal, municipal and local governments, departments, commissions and
boards and any direction of any public officer pursuant to law, and all orders,
rules and regulations of the New York Board of Fire Underwriters, Insurance
Services Office, or any similar body which shall impose any violation, order or
duty upon Owner or Tenant with respect to the demised premises, whether or not
arising out of Tenant's use or manner of use thereof, (including ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
permitted use) or, with respect to the building if arising out of Tenant's use
or manner of use of the premises or the building (including the use permitted
under the lease). Nothing herein shall require Tenant to make structural repairs
or alterations unless Tenant has, by its manner of use of the demised premises
or method of operation therein, violated any such laws, ordinances, orders,
rules, regulations or requirements with respect thereto. Tenant may, after
securing Owner to Owner's satisfaction against all damages, interest, penalties
and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney's fees, by cash
deposit or by surety bond in an amount and in a company satisfactory to Owner,
contest and appeal any such laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or
requirements provided same is done with all reasonable promptness and provided
such appeal shall not subject Owner to prosecution for a criminal offense or
constitute a default under any lease or mortgage under which Owner may be
obligated, or cause the demised premises or any part thereof to be condemned or
vacated. Tenant shall not do or permit any act or thing to be done in or to the
demised premises which is contrary to law, or which wi11 invalidate or be in
conflict with public liability, fire or other policies of insurance at my time
carried by or for the benefit of Owner with respect to the demised premises or
the building of which the demised premises form a part, or
which shall or might subject Owner to any liability or responsibility to any
person or for property damage. Tenant shall not keep anything in the demised
premises except as now or hereafter permitted by the Fire Department, Board of
Fire Underwriters, Fire Insurance Rating Organization or other authority having
jurisdiction, and then only in such manner and such quantity so as not to
increase the rate for fire insurance applicable to the building, nor use the
premises in a manner which will increase the insurance rate for the building or
any property located therein over that in effect prior to the commencement of
Tenant's occupancy. Tenant shall pay all costs, expenses, fines, penalties, or
damages, which may be imposed upon Owner by reason of Tenant's failure to comply
with the provisions of this article and if by reason of such failure the fire
insurance rate shall, at the beginning of this lease, or at any time thereafter,
be higher than it otherwise would be, then Tenant shall reimburse Owner, as
additional rent hereunder, for that portion of all fire insurance premium
thereafter paid by Owner which shall have been charged because of such failure
by Tenant. In any action or proceeding wherein Owner and Tenant are parties, a
schedule or "make-up" of rate for the building or demised premises issued by the
New York Fire Insurance Exchange, or other body making fire insurance rates
applicable to said premises shall be conclusive evidence of the facts therein
stated and of the several items and charges in the fire insurance rates then
applicable to said premises. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the
demised premises exceeding the floor load per square foot area which it was
designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Owner reserves the right to
prescribe the weight and position of all safes, business machines and mechanical
equipment. Such installations shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at
Tenant's expense, in settings sufficient, in Owner's judgment, to absorb and
prevent vibration, noise and annoyance.
Subordination:
7. This lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or underlying leases and
to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect such leases or the real
property of which demised premises are a part and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such
underlying leases and mortgages. This clause shall be self-operative and no
further instrument of subordination shall be required by any ground or
underlying lessor or by any mortgagee, affecting any lease or the real property
of which the demised premises are a part. In confirmation of such subordination,
Tenant shall execute promptly any certificate that Owner may request.
Property Loss, Damage Reimbursement, Indemnity:
8. Owner or its agents shall not be liable for any damage to property of Tenant
or of others entrusted to employees of the building, nor for loss of or damage
to any property of Tenant by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or damage to
persons or property resulting from any cause of whatsoever nature, unless caused
by or due to the negligence of Owner, its agents, servants or employees. Owner
or its agents will not be liable for any such damage caused by other tenants or
persons in, upon or about said building or caused by operations in construction
of any private, public or quasi public work. If at any time any windows of the
demised premises are temporarily closed, darkened or bricked up (or permanently
closed, darkened or bricked up, if required by law) for any reason whatsoever
including, but not limited to Owner's own acts, Owner shall not be liable for
any damage Tenant may sustain thereby and Tenant shall not be entitled to any
compensation therefor nor abatement or diminution of rent nor shall the same
release Tenant from its obligations hereunder nor constitute an eviction. Tenant
shall indemnify and save harmless Owner against and from all liabilities,
obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs and expenses for which Owner
shall not be reimbursed by insurance, including reasonable attorney's fees,
paid, suffered or incurred as a result of any breach by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s agents,
contractors, employees, invitees, or licensees, of any covenant or condition of
this lease, or the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of the Tenant,
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s agents, contractors, employees, invitees or licensees. Tenant's
liability under this lease extends to the acts and omissions of any sub-tenant,
and any agent, contractor, employee, invitee or licensee of any sub-tenant. In
case any action or proceeding is brought against Owner by reason of any such
claim, Tenant upon written notice from Owner, will, at Tenant's expense, resist
or defend such action or proceeding by counsel approved by Owner in writing,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
Destruction, Fire and Other Casualty:
9. (a) If the demised premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or
other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate notice thereof to Owner and this
lease shall continue in full force and effect except as hereinafter set forth.
(b) If the demised premises are partially damaged or rendered partially unusable
by fire or other casualty, the damages thereto shall be repaired by and at the
expense of Owner and the rent, until such repair shall be substantially
completed, shall be apportioned from the day following the casualty according to
the part of the premises which is usable. (c) If the demised premises are
totally damaged or rendered wholly unusable by fire or other casualty, then the
rent shall be proportionately paid up to the time of the casualty and
thenceforth shall cease until the date when the premises shall have been
repaired and restored by Owner, subject to Owner's right to elect not to restore
the same as hereinafter provided. (d) If the demised premises are rendered
wholly unusable or (whether or not the demised premises are damaged in whole or
in part) if the building shall be so damaged that Owner shall decide to demolish
it or to rebuild it, then, in any of such events, Owner may elect to terminate
this lease by written notice to Tenant, given within 90 days after such fire or
casualty, specifying a date for the expiration of the lease, which date shall
not be more than 60 days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date
specified in such notice the term of this lease shall expire as fully and
completely as if such date were the date set forth above for the termination of
this lease and Tenant shall forthwith quit, surrender and vacate the premises
without prejudice however, to Landlord's rights and remedies against Tenant
under the lease provisions in effect prior to such termination, and any rent
owing shall be paid up to such date and any payments of rent made by Tenant
which were on account of any period subsequent to such date shall be returned to
Tenant. Unless Owner shall serve a termination notice as provided for herein,
Owner shall make the repairs and restorations under the conditions of (b) and
(c) hereof, with all reasonable expedition, subject to delays due to adjustment
of insurance claims, labor troubles and causes beyond Owner's control. After any
such casualty, Tenant shall cooperate with Owner's restoration by removing from
the premises as promptly as reasonably possible, all of Tenant's salvageable
inventory and movable equipment, furniture, and other property. Tenant's
liability for rent shall resume five (5) days after written notice from Owner
that the premises are substantially ready for Tenant's occupancy. (e) Nothing
contained hereinabove shall relieve Tenant from liability that may exist as a
result of damage from fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each party shall look first to any insurance in its favor before making any
claim against the other party for recovery for loss or damage resulting from
fire or other casualty, and to the extent that such insurance is in force and
collectible and to the extent permitted by law, Owner and Tenant each hereby
releases
and waives all right of recovery against the other or any one claiming through
or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The foregoing release
and waiver shall be in force only if both releasers' insurance policies contain
a clause providing that such a release or waiver shall not invalidate the
insurance. If, and to the extent, that such waiver can be obtained only by the
payment of additional premiums, then the party benefitting from the waiver shall
pay such premium within ten days after written demand or shall be deemed to have
agreed that the party obtaining insurance coverage shall be free of any further
obligation under the provisions hereof with respect to waiver of subrogation.
Tenant acknowledges that Owner will not carry insurance on Tenant's furniture
and/or furnishings or any fixtures or equipment, improvements, or appurtenances
removable by Tenant and agrees that Owner will not be obligated to repair any
damage thereto or replace the same. (f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of
Section 227 of the Real Property Law and agrees that the provisions of this
article shall govern and control in lien thereof.
Eminent Domain:
10. If the whole or any part of the demised premises shall be acquired or
condemned by Eminent Domain for any public or quasi public use or purpose, then
and in that event, the term of this lease shall cease and terminate from the
date of title vesting in such proceeding and Tenant shall have no claim for the
value of any unexpired term of said lease and assigns to Owner, ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s entire
interest in any such award.
Assignment, Mortgage, Etc.:
11. Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators,
legal representatives, successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it shall
not assign, mortgage or encumber this agreement, nor underlet, or suffer or
permit the demised premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without
the prior written consent of Owner in each instance. If this lease be assigned,
or if the demised premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by
anybody other than Tenant, Owner may, after default by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, 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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from obtaining the express consent in
writing of Owner to any further assignment or underletting. See Paragraph 55th
in Rider.
Electric Current:
12. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current
shall not exceed the capacity of existing feeders to the building or the risers
or wiring installation and Tenant may not use any electrical equipment which, in
Owner's opinion, reasonably exercised, will overload such installations or
interfere with the use thereof by other tenants of the building. The change at
any time of the character of electric service shall in no wise make Owner liable
or responsible to Tenant, for any loss, damages or expenses which Tenant may
sustain.
Access to Premises:
13. Owner or Owner's agents shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to
enter the demised premises in any emergency at any time, and, at other
reasonable times, to examine the same and to make such repairs, replacements and
improvements as Owner may deem it necessary and reasonably desirable to the
demised premises or to any other portion of the building or which Owner may
elect to perform. Tenant shall permit Owner to use and maintain and replace
pipes and conduits in and through this demised premises and to erect new pipes
and conduits therein provided they are concealed within the walls, floor, or
ceiling. Owner may, during the progress of any work in the demised premises,
take all necessary materials and equipment into said premises without the same
constituting an eviction nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any abatement of
rent while such work is in progress nor to any damages by reason of loss or
interruption of business or otherwise. Throughout the term hereof Owner shall
have the right to enter the demised premises at reasonable hours for the purpose
of showing the same to prospective purchasers or mortgagees of the building, and
during the last six months of the term for the purpose of showing the same to
prospective tenants. If Tenant is not present to open and permit an entry into
the premises, Owner or Owner's agents may enter the same whenever such entry may
be necessary or permissible by master key or forcibly and provided reasonable
care is exercised to safeguard Tenant's property, such entry shall not render
Owner or its agents liable therefor, nor in any event shall the obligations of
Tenant hereunder be affected. If during the last month of the term Tenant shall
have removed all or substantially all of Tenant's property therefrom Owner may
immediately enter, alter, renovate or redecorate the demised premises without
limitation or abatement of rent, or incurring liability to Tenant for any
compensation and such act shall have no effect on this lease or Tenant's
obligations hereunder.
Vault, Vault Space, Area:
14. No Vaults, vault space or area, whether or not enclosed or covered, not
within the property line of the building is leased hereunder, anything contained
in or indicated on any sketch, blue print or plan, or anything contained
elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding Owner makes no
representation as to the location of the property line of the building. All
vaults and vault space and all such areas not within the property line of the
building, which Tenant may be permitted to use and/or occupy, is to be used
and/or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license be revoked,
or if the amount of such space or area be diminished or required by any federal,
state or municipal authority or public utility, Owner shall not be subject to
any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or
abatement of rent, nor shall such revocation, diminution or requisition be
deemed constructive or actual eviction. Any tax, fee or charge of municipal
authorities for such vault or area shall be paid by Tenant.
Occupancy:
15. Tenant will not at any time use or occupy the demised premises in violation
of the certificate of occupancy issued for the building of which the demised
premises are a part. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has inspected the premises and accepts them as is,
subject to the riders annexed hereto with respect to Owner's work, if any. In
any event, Owner makes no representation as to the condition of the premises and
▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to accept the same subject to violations, whether or not of
record.
Bankruptcy:
16. (a) Anything elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding, this
lease may be canceled by Owner by the sending of a
written notice to Tenant within a reasonable time after the happening of any one
or more of the following events: (1) the commencement of a case in bankruptcy or
under the laws of any state naming Tenant as the debtor; or (2) the making by
Tenant of an assignment or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors
under any state statute. Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under
Tenant, or by reason of any statute or order of court, shall thereafter be
entitled to possession of the premises demised but shall forthwith quit and
surrender the premises. If this lease shall be assigned in accordance with its
terms, the provisions of this Article 16 shall be applicable only to the party
then owning Tenant's interest in this lease.
(b) it is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of this
lease pursuant to (a) hereof, Owner shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other
provisions of this lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as
and for liquidated damages an amount equal to the difference between the rent
reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the term demised and the fair
and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the same period. In the
computation of such damages the difference between any installment of rent
becoming due hereunder after the date of termination and the fair and reasonable
rental value of the demised premises for the period for which such installment
was payable shall be discounted to the date of termination at the rate of four
percent (4%) per annum. If such premises or any part thereof be relet by the
Owner for the unexpired term of said lease, or any part thereof, before
presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or
tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed to be
the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the premises
so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Nothing herein contained shall
limit or prejudice the right of the Owner to prove for and obtain as liquidated
damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by
any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the
proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount
be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred to
above.
Default:
17. (1) If Tenant defaults in fulfilling any of the covenants of this lease
other than the covenants for the payment of rent or additional rent; or if the
demised premises become vacant or deserted; or if any execution or attachment
shall be issued against Tenant or any of Tenant's property whereupon the demised
premises shall be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant; or if this
lease be rejected under ss. 235 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (bankruptcy code);
or if Tenant shall make default with respect to any other lease between Landlord
and Tenant or if Tenant shall fail to move into or take possession of the
premises within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of the terms of this
lease, then, in any one or more of such events, upon Owner serving a written ten
(10) days notice upon Tenant specifying the nature of said default and upon the
expiration of said ten (10) days, if Tenant shall have failed to comply with or
remedy such default, or if the said default or omission complained of shall be
of a nature that the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within said ten
(10) day period, and if Tenant shall not have diligently commenced during such
default within such ten (10) day period, and shall not thereafter with
reasonable diligence and in good faith, proceed to remedy or cure such default,
then Owner may serve a written five (5) days' notice of cancellation of this
lease upon Tenant, and upon the expiration of said five (5) days this lease and
the term thereunder shall end and expire as fully and completely as if the
expiration of such five (5) day period were the day herein definitely fixed for
the end and expiration of this lease and the term thereof and Tenant shall then
quit and surrender the demised premises to Owner but Tenant shall remain liable
as hereinafter provided.
(2) If the notice provided for in (1) hereof shall have been given, and the
terms shall expire as aforesaid; then and in any of such events Owner may
without notice, re-enter the demised premises either by force or otherwise, and
dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise, and the legal
representative of Tenant or other occupant of demised premises and remove their
effects and hold the premises as if this lease had not been made, and Tenant
hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute
legal proceedings to that end. If Tenant shall make default hereunder prior to
the date fixed as the commencement of any renewal or extension of this lease,
Owner may cancel and terminate such renewal or extension agreement by written
notice.
Remedies of Owner and Waiver of Redemption:
18. In case of any such default, re-entry, expiration and or dispossess by
summary proceedings or otherwise, (a) the rent shall became due thereupon and be
paid up to the time of such re-entry, dispossess and/or expiration, (b) Owner
may re-let the premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of
Owner or otherwise, for a term or terms, which may at Owner's option be less
than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of
the term of this lease and may grant concessions or free rent or charge a higher
rental than that in this lease, and/or (c) Tenant or the legal representatives
of Tenant shall also pay Owner as liquidated damages for the failure of Tenant
to observe and perform said Tenant's covenants herein contained, any deficiency
between the rent hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be paid and the net
amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the lease or leases of the
demised premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have
constituted the balance of the term of this lease. The failure of Owner to
re-let the premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect
Tenants liability for damages. In computing such liquidated damages there shall
be added to the said deficiency such expenses as Owner may incur in connection

consent to a waiver of right of recovery, hereby agree not to make any claim
against or seek to recover from the other for any loss or damage to its property

discharge, exoneration and covenant not to sue herein contained shall be limited
by and coextensive with the terms and provisions of the waiver of subrogation
clause or endorsement or clause or endorsement consenting to a waiver of right

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord makes no representation as to the condition

and/or reporting. Without limiting the foregoing, if the
presence of any Hazardous Material within the demised premises

the demised premises or any other part of the building or land
of which it forms a part, Tenant shall promptly take all
actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the
demised premises or any other part of the building or land of
which it forms a part to the condition existing prior to the
introduction of any such hazardous Material.

52nd. LIMITATION OF LANDLORD'S LIABILITY:
(a) Tenant shall look solely to the then interest of Landlord in the
building and land of which it forms a part or to the then interest of the owner
therein (if Landlord is the agent of such owner) for the satisfaction of any
remedy of Tenant for Landlord's or such owner's failure to perform any of the
obligations of the Landlord hereunder. Neither Landlord nor any disclosed or
undisclosed principal of Landlord (or officer, director, stockholder, partner or
agent of Landlord or of any such principal) shall have any personal liability
for any such failure under this lease or otherwise.
(b) There shall be no merger of Landlord's estate in the demised premises
with ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s estate therein by reason of the fact that the same individual,
partnership, firm or corporation or their entity may acquire or own such estates

partnerships, firms, corporations and other entities having any interest in such
estates, including any mortgagee, join in a written instrument effecting such
merger and duly record it.

amount equal to the greater of (i) the fair market rental value of the demised
premises for such month (as reasonably determined by Landlord) or (ii) two
hundred percent (200%) of the rent and additional rent which Tenant was
obligated to pay for the month immediately preceding the end of the term; and
(b) be liable to Landlord for any payment or rent concession which
Landlord may be required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or
any part of the demised premises (a "New Tenant") in order to induce such New
Tenant not to terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant
(including, without being limited to, any holdover expenses, rent or damages
that a New Tenant shall be responsible for), and (ii) the loss of the benefit of
the bargain if any New Tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the
holding-over by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.

extend the term. In the event of any unauthorized holding-over, Tenant shall
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against all claims for damages by any new
Tenant to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the demised premises
effective upon the termination of this lease. Anything in this paragraph 54th to
the contrary notwithstanding, the acceptance of any rent paid by Tenant pursuant
to this paragraph 54th shall not preclude Landlord from commencing and
prosecuting a holdover or summary eviction proceeding, and the preceding
sentence shall be deemed to be an "agreement expressly providing otherwise"

55th. ASSIGNMENT/SUBLET:
55.01 Assignment: Etc. Subject to the terms and procedures set forth in
Section 55.02, neither this lease nor the term and estate hereby granted, nor
any part hereof or thereof, shall be assigned or otherwise transferred, and
neither the demised premises nor any part thereof shall be subleased or be
encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the part of Tenant
without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Transfer of a controlling interest in the stock or other
ownership interests of Tenant shall be deemed to be a transfer of this lease
excepting only where such transfers of stock are effected through the
"over-the-counter" market or through any recognized stock exchange or in
connection with a public offering of shares of Tenant. No consent of Landlord to
any assignment or other transfer of this lease and the term and estate hereby
granted, and no consent by Landlord to any subletting of all or any portion of
the demised premises, shall be construed to relieve Tenant of its liability
hereunder or of the obligation to obtain such consent to any further assignment,
other transfer or subletting. Tenant may permit any corporation or other
business entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control (and
which at all times so remains) with Tenant including but not limited to a bona
fide merger or other consolidation of Tenant's business where the resulting
entity is at least as strong financially as Tenant (a "Related Corporation") to
sublet all or part of the demised premises upon prior written notice to Landlord
setting forth the name of such Related Corporation and the providing of
reasonably satisfactory evidence to Landlord that such subtenant is a Related
Corporation. Such subletting shall not vest in any such Related Corporation any
right or interest in this lease nor shall it discharge any of Tenant's
obligations hereunder. For purposes hereof, "control" means ownership and/or
control of 50% or more of the equitable or beneficial interest in such entity
and/or control or participation in or management of such entity.
55.02 Assignment and Subletting Procedures. (a) Provided Tenant is not
then or thereafter in default in the payment of rent and/or additional rent or
is otherwise not in default under this lease, if Tenant intends to assign this
lease or to sublet the demised premises or any part thereof, Tenant shall give
Landlord notice of such intent. Tenant's notice shall be accompanied by (i) a
certified description of all material terms of the proposed agreement between

reasonable detail the identity of the proposed assignee or sublessee, the nature
of its business and its proposed use of the demised premises and (iii) current
financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant. Tenant
shall provide Landlord with any additional information or documents requested by
Landlord.
(b) Landlord shall then have the option, exercisable by notice to Tenant
within thirty (30) days after receipt of such additional information (or the
date of Tenant's original notice if Landlord does not timely request additional
information) to:
(i) sublease the applicable space on the terms and conditions set
forth in this lease, to the extent applicable, or, in the case
of a proposed assignment or a proposed subletting for all or
substantially all of the term of this lease, to accept an
assignment of this lease, in either case as of the date so
specified by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ (but in no event earlier than one hundred
fifty (150) days after the date of receipt by Landlord of such
notice), or

sublet space;
(D) the proposed sublessee or assignee is a reputable person or entity of
good character and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has been furnished with evidence thereof;
(E) neither the proposed subtenant or assignee nor any one controlling,

is then an occupant of any portion of the Building or the Property or is a
person with whom Landlord (or anyone which, directly or indirectly, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with Landlord) is then negotiating to
lease space in the Building or the Property or in any other building owned or
operated under a ground or underlying lease by Landlord or any one which,
directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control
with Landlord;
(F) the form of the proposed sublease or assignment is satisfactory to
Landlord;
(G) there shall be no more than two (2) occupants within the demised
premises, including Tenant; and

Section 168(j) (4) (A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any
successor or substitute statute, or rule or regulation applicable thereto (as
the same may be amended)
(c) If the aggregate amount payable as base rent and additional rent by a
subtenant under a sublease of any part of the demised premises shall be in
excess of Tenant's Basic Cost (as hereinafter defined) therefor at that time,

Landlord, as additional rent, such excess. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar year and within thirty
(30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this lease a statement
specifying each sublease in effect at any time during such calendar year or
partial calendar year, the number of square feet of rentable area demised
thereby, the term thereof and a computation in reasonable detail showing the
calculation of the amounts paid and payable by Tenant to Landlord with respect
to such sublease for the period covered by such statement. "Tenant's Basic Cost"
for sublet space at any time means the sum of (x) the portion of the base rent
and additional rent under paragraphs 42nd and 44th hereunder which is
attributable to the sublet space at such time, plus (y) the amount of any costs
reasonably incurred by Tenant in making changes in the layout and finish of the
sublet space for the subtenant amortized on a straight-line basis over the term
of the sublease plus (z) the amount of any customary brokerage commissions and
legal fees and disbursements paid by Tenant in connection with the sublease

satisfactory to Landlord, wherein such assignee shall assume performance of all
terms of this lease on Tenant's part to be performed.
(f) Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after the commencement of the term
of a permitted sublease, give Landlord notice of such commencement, or, in the
case of permitted assignment, notice of the effectiveness of such assignment.
(g) If Landlord consents to a proposed sublease or assignment and the same
does not become effective within ninety (90) days after the giving of such
consent, then Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and
conditions of this Paragraph 55th before assigning this lease or subletting all
or any part of the demised premises.
(h) If Landlord shall decline to consent to any proposed assignment or
sublease as permitted by this lease, or if Landlord shall exercise its option
under this Section to terminate or accept an assignment of this lease from
Tenant, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord against any and all liability
arising from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed
assignee or subtenant or by any broker, finder or other person claiming a
commission or other compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or
sublease.
55.03 Additional Subleasing Conditions. (a) If this lease is assigned,
whether or not in violation of the terms of this lease, Landlord may collect
rent from the assignee. If the demised premises or any part thereof is sublet or
used or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by
Tenant, collect rent from such subtenant or occupant. In either event, Landlord
may apply the net amount collected to the rents herein reserved. The consent by
Landlord to an assignment, transfer, mortgage, pledge, encumbering or subletting
pursuant to any provision of this lease shall not relieve Tenant or any assignee
or subtenant from obtaining the express prior consent of Landlord to any other

premises before the Expiration Date, Landlord shall have the right to take over
any sublease made by Tenant and to succeed to all rights of Tenant thereunder,
Tenant hereby assigning (effective as of the date of Landlord's succession to
▇▇▇▇▇▇'s estate in the demised premises) such subleases as Landlord may elect to
take over. Every subletting hereunder shall be subject to the condition that,

subtenant shall waive any right to surrender possession or to terminate the

56th. PERMITS:
(a) If any governmental license or any permit shall be required for the
proper and lawful conduct of Tenant's business or that of any of its subtenants
in the demised premises and if failure to secure such license or permit would in
any way adversely affect Landlord, the Building or the Property, then Tenant, at
its expense, shall duly procure and thereafter maintain such license or permit
and submit the same to Landlord for inspection. Tenant shall at all times comply
with the terms and conditions of each such license or permit. In no event shall
Tenant's failure to procure or maintain such license or permit relieve Tenant
from its obligations under this lease.
(b) Anything to the contrary contained in the lease notwithstanding,

65th. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT:
65.01 Subordination. (a) This lease and ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s rights hereunder are
subject and subordinate to: (i) all present and future ground leases, operating
leases, superior leases, overriding leases and underlying leases and grants of
term of the Building, or the Property, or any portion thereof (collectively,
including the applicable items set forth in clause (iv) of this subsection (a),
"Superior Leases"); (ii) all mortgages and building loan agreements, including
leasehold mortgages and spreader and consolidation agreements, which may now or
hereafter affect all or any portion of the Property, or any Superior Lease
(collectively, including the applicable items set forth in clauses (iii) and
(iv) of this subsection (a), "Superior Mortgages"), whether or not a Superior
Mortgage shall also cover other lands or buildings or leases, except that a
mortgage on the land only shall not be a Superior Mortgage so long as there is
in effect a Superior Lease which is not subordinate to such mortgage; (iii) each
advance made under any Superior Mortgage; and (iv) all renewals, modifications,
replacements, substitutions and extensions of any Superior Lease or Superior
Mortgage. The provisions of this subsection shall be self-operative and no
further instrument of subordination shall be required.
(b) Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after request therefor, execute and
deliver, at its expense, any instrument, in recordable form if requested, that
Landlord, any holder of a Superior Mortgage (a "Superior Mortgage") or any
lessor under a Superior Lease (a "Superior Lessor") may reasonably request, from
time to time, to evidence and confirm the subordination provided in subsection
(a) of this Section 65.01.

(c) Any Superior Mortgagee may elect that this lease shall have priority
over the mortgage held by such Superior Mortgagee (such mortgage, upon such
election by the applicable Superior Mortgagee, is referred to herein as a
"Subordinated Mortgage") and, upon notification by such Superior Mortgagee to
Tenant, this lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Subordinated
Mortgage, whether this lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of such
Subordinated Mortgage and, to the extent that an election is made by a Superior
Mortgagee, the provisions of Section 65.01 (a) hereof shall not be applicable to
such Subordinated Mortgage (except as otherwise provided), but such Superior
Mortgagee shall remain a Superior Mortgagee for the purpose of all other
provisions of this lease. Tenant and such Superior Mortgagee shall promptly,
upon the notification by such Superior Mortgagee, execute and deliver an
instrument in recordable form to evidence and confirm such priority.
(d) If, in connection with obtaining, continuing or renewing financing for
which the Building, the underlying land, the Property, or the interest of the
lessee under any Superior lease represents collateral, in whole or in part, the
Superior Mortgagee or proposed Superior Mortgagee (including any which may elect
that this lease shall have priority over such Superior Mortgage) shall request
reasonable modifications of this lease as a condition of such financing, Tenant
shall not withhold its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not
increase Tenant's obligation to pay rent or additional rent, shorten or lengthen
the term of this lease and do not materially increase any other obligations or
materially diminish any other rights of Tenant under this lease.
65.02 Attornment. (a) If at any time any Superior Lessor, Superior
Mortgagee (each a "Senior Interest Holder") or any other person or the
successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (such Senior Interest Holder and
any such other person being herein collectively referred to as "Successor
Landlord") shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this lease, ▇▇▇▇▇▇
agrees, at the election and upon the request of any such Successor Landlord,
from time to time, fully and completely to attorn to and recognize any such
Successor Landlord as ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s landlord under this lease upon the then executory
terms of this lease, Provided such Successor Landlord shall agree in writing to
accept ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s attornment. The foregoing provisions of this Section 65.02 shall
inure to the benefit of any such Successor Landlord, shall apply notwithstanding
that, as a matter of law, this lease may terminate upon the termination of the
Superior Lease and shall be self-operative upon any such request, and no further
instrument shall be required to give effect to said provisions. Upon the request
of any such Successor Landlord, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall execute and deliver, from time to
time, instruments reasonably satisfactory to any such Successor Landlord, in
recordable form if requested, to evidence and confirm the foregoing provisions
of this Section 65.02, acknowledging such attornment and setting forth the terms
and conditions of its tenancy.
(b) Upon such attornment, this lease shall continue in full force and
effect as a direct lease between such Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of
the then executory terms of this lease except that such Successor Landlord shall
not be: (i) liable for any act or omission or negligence of any prior Landlord
(other than to cure any default of a continuing nature); (ii) subject to any
counterclaim, defense or offset which theretofore shall have accrued to Tenant
against any prior Landlord; (iii) bound by the payment of any rent or additional
rent for more than one month in advance (unless actually received by such
Successor Landlord); (iv) bound by any modification or amendment of this lease
unless (A) such modification or amendment shall have been approved in writing by
the Senior Interest Holder, of which Tenant has been given notice, through or by
reason of which the Successor Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of
Landlord under this lease or (B) the modification or amendment shall have
occurred prior to the creation of such Senior Interest; (v) obligated to
construct any improvements or to grant any credit toward the cost of any
improvements; (vi) in the event of damage to the Building or the Property, by
fire or other

casualty, obligated to repair the demised premises or the Building or the
Property, or any part thereof beyond such repair as may be reasonably
accomplished from the net proceeds of insurance actually made available to
Landlord; or (vii) in the event of partial condemnation, obligated to repair the
demised premises or the Building or the Property, or any part thereof beyond
such repair as may be reasonably accomplished from the net proceeds of any award
actually made available to Landlord as consequential damages allocable to the
part of the demised premises or the Building or the Property, not taken. Nothing
contained in this Section 65.02 shall be construed to impair any right otherwise
exercisable by any such Successor Landlord.
65.03 Right to Cure. If any act or omission by Landlord shall give Tenant
the right, immediately or after the lapse of time, to cancel or terminate this
lease in whole or in part or to claim such cancellation or termination on the
basis of a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise any such right
until (a) it shall have given written notice of such act or omission to each
Senior Interest Holder whose name and address shall have been previously
furnished to Tenant, and (b) a reasonable period for remedying such act or
omission shall have elapsed following such notice and following the time when
such Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor shall have become entitled under such
Superior Mortgage, Subordinated Mortgage or Superior Lease, as the case may be,
to remedy the same (which reasonable period shall be not less than sixty (60)
days and, if such act or omission is of such a nature that it cannot be
completely remedied within such sixty (60) day period, such reasonable period
shall be such longer period as may be required provided such Senior Interest
Holder shall have within such sixty (60) day period given Tenant notice of its
intention to remedy such act or omission, and has commenced and thereafter
continues to act upon such intention). It is agreed, however, that if such
Senior Interest Holder requires possession of the demised premises in order to
effect a remedy, then such Senior Interest holder shall have such further period
of time as is necessary to obtain possession in addition to the reasonable
period referred to in the preceding sentence, provided such Senior Interest
Holder shall give Tenant notice of its intention to obtain possession and remedy
such act or omission and shall promptly commence and continue to pursue, through
appointment of a receiver or foreclosure, summary proceedings or other
procedures, steps necessary to obtain possession. For the purposes of this
Section 65.03, if there shall be more than one Senior Interest Holder, the
provisions of this Section 65.03 shall be applicable only to the holder of the
Superior Mortgage or the Subordinated Mortgage which constitutes the first
mortgage lien on the Building.
66th. SUPPLEMENT TO ARTICLE 3:
(a) Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any alterations or physical
additions, including, without limitation, fixtures, to the demised premises
other than normal painting, carpeting, wall-coverings and office decorations
("Alterations") or place safes, vaults, filing systems, libraries or other heavy
furniture or equipment within the demised premises without first obtaining the
consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld in the
case of an Alteration which (i) has no adverse effect on the Building's
structure or systems, including, without limitation, the electrical, and
plumbing systems of the Building (collectively, "Building Systems"); (ii) is not
visible from the exterior of the demised premises; (iii) does not result in a
violation of, or require a change in, any certificate of occupancy for the
Building; (iv) does not affect any area of the Building outside of the demised
premises; and (v) does not, in Landlord's sole judgment, adversely affect the
character or value of the Property.
(b) Landlord shall be entitled to retain independent consultants to review
the plans and specifications for and the progress of construction of Alterations
and to reimbursement from Tenant, within ten (10) days after request therefor,
for all of the
Please Initial

17
fees of such consultants and other out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in
connection with such proposed Alteration. Tenant shall, prior to commencing any
work in the demised premises in connection with any Alteration, the nature of
which would under good construction industry practice or Legal Requirements (as
such term is hereinafter in this paragraph 66th defined) involve the preparation
of plans and specifications, furnish Landlord with three (3) sets of complete
plans and specifications for such work. Landlord agrees to use reasonable
efforts, consistent with industry practice and the scope of such proposed
Alteration, to respond to ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s request for consent to its plans and
specifications for Alterations within (i) fifteen (15) Business Days after
submission thereof to Landlord in the case of the original submission and (ii)
ten (10) Business Days in the case of any resubmission of disapproved plans.
Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any plans and specifications in part,
to reserve approval of items shown thereon pending its review and approval of
other plans and specifications, and to condition its approval upon Tenant making
revisions to the plans and specifications or supplying additional information.
Any Alterations for which consent has been received shall be performed in
accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and no amendments
or additions thereto shall be made without the prior written consent of Landlord
in each instance, which consent shall be granted or withheld in accordance with
the same provisions and within the same time frames in granting initial consent
to the applicable Alterations.
(c) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that all Alterations shall at all times comply with all
applicable governmental and quasi-governmental rules and regulations and the
rules and regulations of any Board of Fire Underwriters or similar agency having
jurisdiction ("Legal Requirements") and any rules and regulations which Landlord
may adopt from time to time with respect to the making of Alterations. Tenant,
at its expense, shall cause all Alterations to be performed in a good and
first-class workmanlike mariner, using new materials and equipment.
(d) Landlord or its agent, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s expense and upon request of Tenant,
shall execute any applications for any permits, approvals or certificates
required to be obtained by Tenant (wherein such Landlord signature is required)
in connection with any permitted Alteration (provided that the provisions of the
applicable Legal Requirement require that Landlord execute such application) and
shall otherwise cooperate with Tenant in connection therewith, provided that if
Landlord shall incur any cost or liability in connection therewith, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all such costs, expenses and liabilities within ten (10)
days after receipt of Landlord's invoice therefor.
(e) Tenant agrees that all Alterations shall be promptly commenced and
completed and shall be performed only in a manner so as not to interfere with
the occupancy of any other tenant or delay Landlord in the construction,
maintenance, management or operation of the Building or the rest of the Property
or the space of any other tenant in the Building, and if any additional expense
shall be incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant's making of any Alterations,
Tenant shall pay such additional expense within ten (10) days after demand
therefor.
(f) No Alterations shall be constructed (i) except under the supervision
of a licensed architect or licensed professional engineer reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord and (ii) in the event of an Alteration in excess of
$50,000.00 prior to Tenant delivering to Landlord either (y) a performance bond
and a labor and materials payment bond (issued by a surety company reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord and licensed to do business in the State of New York)
each in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of such
estimated cost and otherwise in form satisfactory to Landlord or (z) such other
security as shall be satisfactory to Landlord.

(g) All contractors retained by Tenant shall be subject to the prior
written approval of Landlord. Tenant shall not permit the use of any
contractors, labor, material or equipment in the performance of any work if such
use, in Landlord's sole judgment, will disturb harmony with any trade engaged in
performing any other work in and about the Building and/or the rest of the
Property or contribute to any labor dispute. Landlord may require the use of
designated Building engineers or contractors for specified work which will or
may affect any Building Systems.
(h) Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against all
costs (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements),
losses, liabilities or causes of action arising out of or relating to any
Alteration, including, without limitation, any mechanics' or materialmen's liens
asserted in connection with such Alteration.
(i) Landlord's review and/or approval of plans or specifications or
consent to the making of Alterations in the demised premises shall not be deemed
to be (i) an agreement by Landlord that the contemplated Alterations comply with
any Legal Requirements, or any certificate of occupancy for the Building; (ii)
an approval of the sufficiency, completeness or any other aspect of the proposed
Alteration; or (iii) a waiver by Landlord of compliance by Tenant with any of
the other terms of this lease and any other agreements or other documents
relating thereto.
67th. INABILITY TO PERFORM:
(a) This lease and the obligations of Tenant to pay rent and additional
rent and perform all of the other terms of this lease on the part of Tenant to
be performed shall in no way be affected because Landlord is unable or delayed
in fulfilling any of its obligations under this lease by reason of Force
Majeure. Landlord shall in each instance exercise reasonable diligence to effect
performance when and as soon as reasonably possible; provided, however, that
Landlord shall be under no obligation to employ overtime or premium labor.
(b) For purposes of this lease, "Force Majeure" shall mean any and all
causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be,
including delays caused by the other party hereto or other tenants, Legal
Requirements and other forms of governmental restrictions, regulations or
controls (including energy and water conservation measures), labor disputes,
accidents, mechanical breakdowns, shortages or inability to obtain labor, fuel,
steam, water, electricity or materials through ordinary sources, acts of God,
war, sabotage, embargo, enemy action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty,
but shall not include lack of funds or financial inability to perform.
68th. DEVELOPMENT DEMOLITION AND RELOCATION RIGHTS:
(a) Tenant acknowledges that it has no rights to any development rights,
"air rights" or comparable rights appurtenant to the Building, and/or the
Property, and consents, without further consideration, to any utilization of
such rights by Landlord and agrees to promptly execute and deliver any
instruments which may be requested by Landlord, including instruments merging
zoning lots, evidencing such acknowledgment and consent. The provisions of this
Section shall be deemed to be and shall be construed as an express waiver by
Tenant of any interest Tenant may have as a "party in interest" in the Building,
and/or the Property.
(b) (1) Anything to the contrary contained in this lease notwithstanding,
Landlord, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Tenant,
shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the term of this
lease, and shall use all reasonable efforts to substitute, as of a date
specified in said notice (the "Effective Date"), other space (the "Substitute
Space") in the Building of which the demised premises forms a part or in another
Equipark building owned by Landlord (or by an affiliate of
Please Initial
Landlord BF Tenant MS
---- ----
19
Landlord) as the demised premises hereunder in lieu of the space (the "Prior
Space") then constituting the demised premises hereunder immediately prior to
the giving of such notice.
(2) Prior to the Effective Date, Landlord, at Landlord's expense and with
Tenant's reasonable cooperation (but at no cost to Tenant), shall furnish
necessary moving labor to move Tenant and Tenant's equipment and personal
property to the Substitute Space, which Substitute Space shall be substantially
equivalent in area and build-out to the Prior Space and have substantially
equivalent parking accommodations available for Tenant's use.
(3) Automatically on the Effective Date, the Substitute Space shall
constitute the demised premises hereunder and all of the terms of this lease
shall apply thereto (except that Landlord shall not be required to perform any
work or furnish any materials with respect to Tenant's installation in the
Substitute Space, other than as hereinabove specifically provided and except
that if the Substitute Space is in another Equipark building then all references
to the term "Building" shall mean such other building of which the Substitute
Space forms a part and Tenant's share shall be equitably adjusted), and the
Prior Space shall automatically be deleted from the coverage of this lease and
the term of this lease insofar as the Prior Space only is concerned shall be
deemed to have ceased and expired with the same force and effect as if the
Effective Date were originally provided in this lease as the expiration date
hereof but this lease shall continue in full force and effect for the full term
hereof with respect to tile Substitute Space.
(4) Tenant covenants and agrees to quit and surrender vacant full
possession of the Prior Space to Landlord on the Effective Date free and clear
of any leases, tenancies and rights of occupancy of anyone claiming by or
through Tenant. If Tenant shall fail or refuse to surrender such vacant full
possession of the Prior Space to Landlord on or before the Effective Date (for
any reason other than failure to furnish moving labor to Tenant), then and in
such event Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each day or fraction thereof that
Tenant; shall fail to surrender such vacant full possession of the Prior Space
to Landlord (in addition to all rent and additional rent provided to be paid
under this lease which is applicable from and after the Effective Date to the
Substitute Space) an agreed-upon sum equal to three (3) times the quotient
obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the monthly installment of rent then payable
under this lease plus one-twelfth (1/12) of all additional rent then payable
under this lease by (ii) thirty (30) (the "Daily Rate for the Prior Space").
Such Daily Rate for the Prior Space is in the nature of liquidated damages to
Landlord for ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s failure to surrender such vacant full possession of the
Prior Space to Landlord on or before the Effective Date. The foregoing provision
for payment by Tenant of the Daily Rate for the Prior Space shall be without
prejudice to Landlord's instituting summary or such other proceedings as
Landlord may desire in order to obtain as promptly as possible vacant full
possession of the Prior Space. The foregoing provision for payment by Tenant of
the Daily Rate for the Prior Space relates solely to Landlord and ▇▇▇▇▇▇'s
mutual agreement to the daily value of the Prior Space to each of Landlord and
Tenant taking into consideration Tenant's agreement to comply with the terms of
this paragraph 68th and to surrender vacant full possession of the Prior Space
to Landlord on or before the Effective Date, time being deemed of the essence;
therefore, in addition to Tenant's agreement to make payment of the Daily Rate
for the Prior Space for each subject day, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay Landlord the
total amount of any loss, damage, cost or injury (including attorneys' fees and
disbursements) suffered by Landlord with regard to any existing or potential
transaction which is adversely affected by Tenant's failure or refusal to timely
surrender the Prior Space.
(c) If Landlord shall at any time during the term of this lease decide to
demolish or substantially renovate the Building, including but not limited to a
change of use of the Building and/or that portion of the Building in which the
demised premises are a part, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate
this lease as

of the last day of any month thereafter upon not less than six (6) months prior
written notice by Landlord to Tenant. In the event that Landlord shall give such
notice, then upon the date specified in such notice for the termination of this
lease, this lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall terminate as
though such date were the date originally set forth in this lease for the
expiration of the term hereof, and Tenant shall, on or before such date, vacate
and remove from the demised premises in accordance with the provisions of this
lease.
69th. CLEANING AND DUMPSTER:
(a) RUBBISH REMOVAL AND REFUSE PICK-UP:
Tenant shall independently contract for and provide for the removal at
least biweekly of all garbage, refuse, waste and rubbish, at its cost and
expense. Garbage and refuse shall be kept in containers or dumpsters to be
provided by Tenant and placed in an area designated by Landlord for such
purpose. Garbage storage and removal shall be subject to such rules and
regulations as, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, are necessary for the
proper operation of the Property.
(b) PREMISES AND BUILDING CLEANING:
(i) Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, take good care of and keep
clean and free from debris the interior of the demised premises, including,
without limitation, all restrooms therein which shall include replacement of
papergoods, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. No one other than
persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the demised premises or
the building of which it forms a part for the purpose of cleaning the demised
premises.
(ii) cleaning of public hallways, public lobbies, public vestibules, and
public restrooms, including replacement of paper goods shall be the obligation
of Landlord.
70th. FURTHER RE: PARAGRAPH 34 "SECURITY":
(a) Landlord, as successor in interest to, First Industrial, L.P., and LBA
Properties, Inc., and the Tenant herein are parties to a lease dated December
15, 1990 (said lease, as previously amended, being herein collectively called
the "Present Lease"). Landlord and Tenant hereby modify the Present Lease so
that the term and estate granted by the Present Lease (subject to earlier
