Article provided.
C. Tenant shall not be in default under any of the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Lease beyond any notice and grace period hereunder at the

any arbitration as hereinafter provided, the parties understand and agree that
if the rentable square feet of the First Renewal Premises set forth in the First

the First Renewal Premises, if such value is greater or lesser than the First
Temporary Rate, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord or Landlord shall pay to
Tenant, as the case may be, the difference between the rent theretofore paid at

receive such Fixed Rent).
Section 43.04. If Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree as to
the annual fair market rental value per rentable square foot within said thirty
(30) day period, then and in such event said annual fair market rental value per
rentable square foot for the First Renewal Premises shall be determined by
"baseball arbitration" pursuant to Article 28 of the Lease (ARBITRATION) and as
hereinafter provided.
The arbitrator shall be a licensed real estate broker doing business
in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and having not less
than fifteen (15) years active experience as a real estate broker in said
Borough. In making this determination, the arbitrator shall consider and follow
the directions set forth in this Article.
-26-
28
Upon the mutual agreement by the parties to this Lease of a single
arbitrator, (or the appointment of a single arbitrator under the terms of
Article 28 (ARBITRATION)), Landlord and Tenant shall each immediately submit to
the single arbitrator its determination of the annual fair market rental value
per rentable square foot for the First Renewal Premises and said arbitrator
shall within thirty (30) days find as correct either (A) the market rent that
was determined and set forth by Landlord or (B) the market rent that was
determined and set forth by Tenant.
Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half (1/2) of the fees of the
arbitrator appointed pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph.
Section 43.05. If Tenant has duly exercised the First Renewal Term
Option and is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and
grace period, and provided that on the date (the "Second Effective Date") of the
sending of the Second Renewal Term Election Notice (hereinafter defined) Tenant
meets either of the following conditions: (A) Tenant, and all related
corporations (as defined in Section 22.03 of the Lease), which are a permitted
sublessee or sub-sublessee of the Premises and have continuously qualified as a
related corporation, have
-27-
29
not subleased, in the aggregate, more than forty percent (40%) of the entire
Premises to one or more corporations or other business entities which are not
related corporations, and the remaining sixty percent (60%) of the Premises is
in the possession of Tenant or a related corporation, or (B) Tenant is not in
occupancy of the Premises and the entire Premises has been subleased to a single
subtenant (other than a related corporation (as so defined)) which subtenant is
then in occupancy of one hundred percent (100%) of the then Premises so that
there are no sub-subtenants, then in such case, Tenant shall have a single
option (the "Second Renewal Term Option") to extend and renew the Term of this
Lease with respect to all, but not less than all, of the space in the Building
which is, as of the Second Effective Date, then part of the Premises, (such
space being called the "Second Renewal Premises") for an additional period of
five (5) years commencing on August 1, 2008 and ending on July 31, 2013 (the
"Second Renewal Term"), upon the same terms and conditions as contained in this
Lease (unless changed or modified by this Agreement or other mutual agreement)
except that (i) subject to the provisions of paragraph A of Section 43.07, the
Fixed Rent per rentable square foot for the Second Renewal Premises during the
Second Renewal Term shall be a sum equal to the annual fair market rental value
per rentable square foot of the Second
-28-
30
Renewal Premises as of the first day of the Second Renewal Term, taking into
account the rentals at which leases are being concluded for comparable space in
the Building and in comparable buildings in the same rental area as the Building
and taking into account the unique character, location and first-class operation
of the Building; (ii) for the Second Renewal Term, Base Tax under Articles 6
(TAX PAYMENTS), shall mean the Real Estate Taxes for the 2008/2009 Tax Year and
Expense Base under Article 7 (ESCALATION), shall mean the Expenses for the
calendar year 2008; (iii) except as hereinafter provided, the Second Renewal
Premises shall be tendered to Tenant in its then "AS Is" condition and Landlord
shall not be required to perform any work or to give Tenant any work allowance
whatsoever with respect to such Second Renewal Premises, and (iv) the Lease, as
extended, shall not contain any further renewal option with respect to all or
any of the Second Renewal Premises.
Section 43.06. The exercise of such Second Renewal Term Option shall
be effective only upon, and in strict compliance with, and subject to the
following terms and conditions:
A. Written notice of such election (the "Second Renewal Term
Election Notice") shall be given by Tenant to
-29-
31
Landlord not earlier than after the commencement of the First Renewal Term nor
later than July 31, 2007. The Second Renewal Term Election Notice shall state
that the Tenant hereby irrevocably and unconditionally elects, pursuant to the
provisions of Article 43 of the Lease, to extend and renew the Term of the Lease
for all of the Second Renewal Premises. Time shall be of the essence for the
sending of the Second Renewal Term Election Notice by Tenant. Upon the valid
sending of the Second Renewal Term Election Notice, commencing August 1, 2008
the Premises shall be deemed to include the Second Renewal Premises and the Term
of the Lease shall be deemed extended, in accordance with the provisions hereof,
to July 31, 2013 which shall be deemed the Expiration Date.
B. Beginning on August 1, 2007 Landlord and Tenant shall, in order
to determine the Fixed Rent per rentable square foot for the Second Renewal
Premises during the Second Renewal Term, seek to agree as to the amount of the
fair annual market rental value per rentable square foot for all of the Second
Renewal Premises. If they shall not agree as to such value by September 1, 2007,
then and in such event said annual fair market rental value per rentable square
foot shall be determined by "baseball arbitration"
-30-
32
pursuant to Article 28 (ARBITRATION) and as hereinafter in this Article
provided.
C. Tenant shall not be in default under any of the terms, covenants
and conditions of this Lease beyond any notice and grace period hereunder at the
time Tenant gives the Second Renewal Term Election Notice to Landlord.
Section 43.07. A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and the result of
any arbitration as hereinafter provided, the parties understand and agree that
the Fixed Rent per rentable square foot for the Second Renewal Premises for the
Second Renewal Term shall in no event be less than the aggregate of (i) the
Fixed Rent per rentable square foot for the Second Renewal Premises payable as
of the last day of the First Renewal Term, and (ii) the sum (per rentable square
foot for the Second Renewal Premises) of the expense escalation and Tax
Escalation Additional Rent payable under Articles 6 (TAX PAYMENTS) and 7
(ESCALATION) for the last twelve (12) months of the First Renewal Term of this
Lease.
B. If on the first day of the Second Renewal Term, the amount of the
Fixed Rent payable for the Second Renewal Premises during the Second Renewal
Term in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Article
-31-
33
shall not have been determined, then, pending such determination, Tenant shall
pay Fixed Rent for the Second Renewal Premises at 125% of the Fixed Rent per
rentable square foot for the Second Renewal Premises payable hereunder as of the
last day of the First Renewal Term (the "Second Temporary Rate"). After the
determination by appraisal of the annual fair market rental value per rentable
square foot for the Second Renewal Premises, if such value is greater or lesser
than the Second Temporary Rate, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord or
Landlord shall pay to Tenant, as the case may be; the difference between the
rent theretofore paid at the Second Temporary Rate and the rental value per
rentable square foot determined by the appraisal; and the Fixed Rent for the
Second Renewal Premises so determined by the appraisal shall, except as
otherwise provided, be payable during the Second Renewal Term.
C. Upon determination of the Fixed Rent for the Second Renewal Term,
Landlord and Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other an
agreement specifying the amount of the Fixed Rent for the Second Renewal
Premises for such Second Renewal Term (but any failure to execute such an
agreement shall not affect
-32-
34
Tenant's obligation to pay and Landlord's right to receive such Fixed Rent).
Section 43.08. If Landlord and Tenant shall be unable to agree as to
the annual fair market rental value per rentable square foot within said thirty
(30) day period, then and in such event said annual fair market rental value per
rentable square foot for the Second Renewal Premises shall be determined by
"baseball arbitration" pursuant to Article 28 of the Lease (ARBITRATION) and as
hereinafter provided.
The arbitrator shall be a licensed real estate broker doing business
in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and having not less
than fifteen (15) years active experience as a real estate broker in said
Borough. In making this determination, the arbitrator shall consider and follow
the directions set forth in this Article.
Upon the mutual agreement by the parties to this Lease of a single
arbitrator, (or the appointment of a single arbitrator under the terms of
Article 28 (ARBITRATION)), Landlord and Tenant shall each immediately submit to
the single arbitrator its determination of the
-33-
35
annual fair market rental value per rentable square foot for the Second Renewal
Premises and said arbitrator shall within thirty (30) days find as correct
either (A) the market rent that was determined and set forth by Landlord or (B)
the market rent that was determined and set forth by Tenant.
Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half (1/2) of the fees of the
arbitrator appointed pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph.
Section 43.09. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 43.01,
43.02 and Paragraph A of Section 43.03:
A. The rights of Tenant under this Article 43 during the First
Renewal Term and Second Renewal Term with respect to either or both of the
twenty-eighth (28th) and twenty-ninth (29th) floors (the "28 and 29 Renewal
Premises") are subject to the rights of the tenant under the existing lease
between Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx and Landlord, as the same may be amended or
modified from time to time after the date hereof by Landlord and the tenant
under such lease (such lease, as it may be so amended or modified is called the
"Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease"). Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the
First Lease Modification Agreement, or the sending to Tenant of a Landlord
Expansion Space
-34-
36
Availability Notice, or the sending by Tenant of an Expansion Election Notice
in response to the Landlord Expansion Space Availability Notice, or the sending
of a First 28 and 29 Renewal Term Election Notice (hereinafter defined) shall be
construed (1) to grant any renewal or extension rights to Tenant with respect to
the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises unless and until a Landlord 28 and 29
Availability Notice is required to be sent to Tenant, Tenant expressly
acknowledging that Landlord is under no duty to cause the tenant of the
Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease to surrender to Landlord, or waive, all or any of its
rights to the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises and that Landlord may never be required
to or be able to send a Landlord 28 and 29 Availability Notice, and that
Landlord may, if it so elects in its sole discretion, actively deal in any
manner with the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease in such a manner as
may prevent such tenant from surrendering or waiving (or in such manner as may
induce such tenant not ever to surrender or waive) all of its rights to the 28
and 29 Renewal Premises to Landlord, (2) to prevent Landlord from negotiating
with the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease or from entering into one
or more modifications of the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease, which modification or
modifications may contain modifications to the rental or other provisions
thereof or grant renewal or extension
-35-
37
options in favor of the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease; the term of
which may extend past the Term of this Lease as it may be extended, (3) to
obligate Landlord to (a) refuse its consent to any proposed sublease or
assignment by the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease of all or any
portion of the premises demised thereunder or the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises,
(b) accept a surrender by the tenant of the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease of its
rights with respect to the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises or (c) agree with the
tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease to cancel or modify the rights of
such tenant with respect to such 28 and 29 Renewal Premises or (4) to obligate
Landlord to evict the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease if in default
thereunder, even if the effect of any such action or inaction described in
clauses (1) to (4) inclusive, considered singly or cumulatively, may be to
preclude the tenant of the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises from ever surrendering or
waiving (or to induce such tenant not ever to surrender or waive) all of its
rights to the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises or may otherwise materially and
adversely affect the possibility of tendering of Vacant Possession of the 28 and
29 Renewal Premises to Tenant.
B. Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding,
Tenant's renewal option with respect to the
-36-
38
28 and 29 Renewal Premises is conditioned upon and is subject and subordinate
to (1) the provisions of paragraph A of this Section and (2) the tenant under
the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease surrendering to Landlord or waiving all of its
rights to the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises or such tenant failing to elect to rent
such 28 and 29 Renewal Premises pursuant to its rights under the Debevoise &
Xxxxxxxx Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the tenant under the Debevoise &
Xxxxxxxx Lease has such prior right to rent the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises
beginning August 1, 2003 and that Tenant has no right under this Article 43 or
any other provision of this Agreement or the Lease with respect to the 28 and 29
Renewal Premises unless and until the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx
Lease fails to so rent the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises whether pursuant to such
right or on other terms and conditions that may, after the date hereof, be
negotiated by Landlord and the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease.
Promptly after Landlord and the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx lease
unconditionally and irrevocably agree to the waiver by such tenant or its
surrender to Landlord of all of its rights to the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises
with respect to the First Renewal Term and the Second Renewal Term, Landlord
will notify Tenant thereof pursuant to a Landlord 28 and 29 Availability Notice;
provided, however, subject to the provisions of paragraph C
-37-
39
of this Section 43.09, Landlord shall not be required to give Tenant a Landlord
28 and 29 Availability Notice after July 31, 2003.
C. Written notice of the election to renew the Lease with respect to
the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises (the "First 28 and 29 Renewal Term Election
Notice") shall be given by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days (with time
of the essence) after Landlord sends written notice ("Landlord 28 and 29
Availability Notice") to Tenant of the date (other than the stated expiration
date of the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease) on which the Landlord reasonably
believes the tenant of the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises will surrender all of its
rights to the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises to Landlord with respect to the First
Renewal Term and the Second Renewal Term; provided, however, such First 28 and
29 Renewal Term Election Notice shall not be effective unless either (1) Tenant
has previously sent either (a) a valid First Renewal Term Election Notice or (b)
a valid (i) Conditional First Renewal Term Election Notice with respect to all
other First Renewal Premises and (ii) Renewal Termination Notice electing to
withdraw the Renewal Condition or (2) concurrently with the sending of the First
28 and 29 Renewal Term Election Notice Tenant sends either (a) a valid First
Renewal Term Election Notice or (b) a
-38-
40
valid (i) Conditional First Renewal Term Election Notice with respect to all
other First Renewal Premises and (ii) Renewal Termination Notice electing to
withdraw the Renewal Condition. The First 28 and 29 Renewal Term Election Notice
shall state that the Tenant hereby elects to extend and renew the Term of the
Lease for all of the First Renewal Term for all of the 28 and 29 Renewal
Premises pursuant to Article 43 of the Lease and may, if the conditions of
Section 46.07 have been met, set forth the election permitted thereunder. Time
shall be of the essence for the sending of the First 28 and 29 Renewal Term
Election Notice.
D. Upon the giving of the First 28 and 29 Renewal Term Election
Notice, for all purposes of Section 43.01 to 43.04 inclusive (1) the First 28
and 29 Renewal Term Election Notice and the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises shall be
deemed, respectively, a First Renewal Term Election Notice (with respect to the
28 and 29 Renewal Premises) and part of the First Renewal Premises, and (2)
Sections 43.01 to 43.04 inclusive shall be so applied thereto.
E. The commencement date of the First Renewal Term with respect to
the 28 and 29 Renewal Premises shall be August 1, 2003, and the Expiration Date
of the First Renewal Term shall be July 31, 2008.
-39-
41
Section 43.10. In the event that the rentable square feet of the
First Renewal Premises set forth in the First Renewal Term Election Notice
exceeds 182,500 rentable square feet, Article 43 shall, if Tenant so elects
concurrently with the first to occur of (a) the sending of its First Renewal
Term Election Notice, or (b) the sending of its Renewal Termination Notice
electing to withdraw the Renewal Condition, be deemed modified as follows:
A. By modifying Section 43.01 (i) to delete (a) from the 44th line
thereof the words "five (5) years" and replace these words with "ten (10)
years", (b) from the 45th line thereof the year "2008" and replace it with the
year "2013" and (c) from clause (iv) the words "except the Second Renewal Option
set forth in Section 43.05" and (ii) to put a period after the word "Premises"
in said clause (iv).
B. By modifying paragraph A of Section 43.02 and paragraph E of
Section 43.09 by deleting the year "2008" and replacing it with the year "2013".
C. By deleting Sections 43.05 to 43.08 inclusive.
-40-
42
Section 43.11. Upon the occurrence of either of the events set forth
in clause (a) or (b) of Section 43.02A(5), with respect to the First Renewal
Premises the parties shall immediately be bound thereby without the execution of
an amendment to this Lease; however, at the request of either party, the parties
shall promptly execute and deliver a written amendment to this Lease reflecting
the addition of such S & A Expansion Space as part of the Premises for the First
Renewal Term, the increase of the Tenant's Share by reason of the addition of
such S & A Expansion Space and such other changes resulting from the occurrence
of either of such events. Except for such changes, the provisions of this Lease
shall apply with respect to such S & A Expansion Space. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event Landlord fails or is unable to tender all or any portion
of such S & A Expansion Space to Tenant on the proposed delivery date thereof as
a result of Force Majeure, the performance by Landlord of Removal Work or the
holding over of the prior tenant or otherwise, Landlord shall not be subject to
any liability whatsoever for such failure or inability to tender Vacant
Possession during the continuation of the Force Majeure, holding over by such
prior tenant or performance of such Removal Work, but the Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent shall not commence with respect to such portion of such S & A
Expansion Space
-41-
43
until the date on which Vacant Possession thereof is actually tendered to
Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Vacant Possession of any S & A
Expansion Space included in such First Renewal Premises is not tendered by
Landlord within twelve (12) months following the stated expiration date of the
existing lease of such S & A Expansion Space, Tenant may, by notice given to
Landlord after such twelve (12) month period has expired but prior to the date
Vacant Possession is tendered to Tenant, elect to cancel its First Renewal Term
Election Notice or Conditional First Renewal Term Election Notice, as the case
may be, but only with respect to such S & A Expansion Space as to which such
Vacant Possession has not been tendered. For purposes of computing the twelve
(12) month period referred to above, the Removal Period shall not be included in
such computation. Nothing herein shall operate to extend the Expiration Date for
any of the Premises (including but not limited to such Expansion Space) beyond
the date otherwise fixed for the expiration of the Term or of the First Renewal
Term, as applicable.
Section 43.12. In addition to the limitation of liability set forth
in Section 43.11, Tenant expressly waives any right to rescind this Lease under
Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or under any present or
-42-
44
future statute of similar import then in force and further expressly waives the
right to recover any damages, direct or indirect, which may result from
Landlord's failure to deliver Vacant Possession of any S & A Expansion Space on
the commencement date of the First Renewal Term. Tenant agrees that the
provisions of this Article are intended to constitute "an express provision to
the contrary" within the meaning of said Section 223-a. Any such failure to so
deliver Vacant Possession shall not extend the Expiration Date of the First
Renewal Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 43.12, in
the event that the failure to deliver Vacant Possession of any S & A Expansion
Space on the commencement date of the First Renewal Term is not the result of
Force Majeure, the holding over of the prior tenant or the performance of
Removal Work, Tenant may, not earlier than sixty (60) days after the
commencement date of the First Renewal Term, elect to cancel its First Renewal
Term Election Notice or Conditional First Renewal Term Election Notice, as the
case may be, but only with respect to such S & A Expansion Space with respect to
which Vacant Possession was not so delivered; provided however, such election to
cancel shall not be effective if prior thereto Landlord has tendered Vacant
Possession of such S & A Expansion Space to Tenant. For purposes of
-43-
45
computing the sixty (60) day period referred to above, the Removal Period shall
not be included in such computation.
10. Article 44 of the Lease (LIMITED RENEWAL OPTION) is hereby
deleted.
11. Articles 45 (LIMITED EXPANSION OPTION), 46 (THIRD FLOOR OPTION
OF LIMITED RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL) and 47 (RIGHT OF FIRST OFFERING) of the Lease
are hereby deleted and replaced by the following:
ARTICLE 46
Limited Expansion Option
Section 46.01. Subject to the rights of the tenant under the
Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease with respect to the D & P Expansion Space
(hereinafter defined) and the rights of the tenant under the existing lease
between Sidley & Austin and Landlord, as the same may be amended or modified
from time to time after the date hereof by landlord and the tenant under such
lease, except as such right to amend or modify said lease with Sidley & Austin
is limited by Section 46.06, (such lease, as it may be so amended or modified,
is called the "Sidley & Austin Lease") with respect to the S & A Expansion Space
if, during the Term of
-44-
46
the Lease, Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice
and grace period, and provided (A) Tenant, and all related corporations (as
defined in Section 22.03 of the Lease), which are a permitted sublessee or
sub-sublessee of the Premises and have continuously qualified as a related
corporation, have not subleased, in the aggregate, more than forty percent (40%)
of the entire Premises to one or more corporations or other business entities
which are not related corporations, and the remaining sixty percent (60%) of the
Premises is in the possession of Tenant or a related corporation, or (B) Tenant
gives notice (the "Expansion Election Notice") to Landlord within thirty (30)
days (with respect to which Expansion Election Notice time is expressly of the
essence) after Landlord has sent to Tenant a notice (the "Landlord Expansion
Space Availability Notice") setting forth the date prior to the stated
expiration date of the existing lease of such Expansion Space on which Landlord
reasonably expects the tenant of the Expansion Space identified in such notice
to tender possession of such Expansion Space vacant of such tenant, all
subtenants and occupants and free of the personal property of and all claims by
such tenant with respect to such Expansion Space that was identified in such
notice (such possession being hereinafter called "Vacant Possession"), (C) if a
Landlord Expansion Space Availability
-45-
47
Notice is sent after the earliest date on which a First Renewal Term Election
Notice may be sent by Tenant, Tenant has theretofore exercised its Extension
Option pursuant to a First Renewal Term Election Notice (or a Conditional First
Renewal Term Election Notice with respect to which the Renewal Condition was
withdrawn or deemed withdrawn) in accordance with Article 43 (EXTENSION OPTION)
and (D) Tenant complies with the conditions set forth below, Tenant shall have
the option (the "Limited Expansion Option") to lease all of the entire eighth
(8th), ninth (9th), tenth (10th), eleventh (11th), twelfth (12th), fourteenth
(14th) floors [there being no thirteenth (13th) floor] (said six (6) floors
being collectively called the "S & A Expansion Space"), the twentieth (20th),
twenty-first (21st), twenty- second (22nd), twenty-third (23rd), twenty-fourth
(24th), twenty-fifth (25th), twenty-sixth (26th) floors and the portion of the
twenty-seventh (27th) floor which is not leased pursuant to this Agreement (said
seven and one half (7 1/2) floors being collectively called the "D & P Expansion
Space" and, together with the S & A Expansion Space, collectively the "Expansion
Space") which are set forth in the Landlord Expansion Space Availability Notice
for a term commencing on the date Vacant Possession of the Expansion Space set
forth in the Landlord Expansion Space Availability Notice is tendered to Tenant
and ending on the last day of
-46-
48
the Term of the Lease (the "Expansion Term"), upon the same terms and conditions
set forth in the Lease (unless changed or modified by this Agreement or other
mutual agreement). Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that Landlord need not
give a Landlord Expansion Space Availability Notice after July 31, 2003, whether
or not Vacant Possession of any Expansion Space is thereafter obtained by
Landlord. The measurement of the rentable square feet of such Expansion Space
shall be calculated by Landlord on the same basis as the twenty-eighth (28th)
and twenty-ninth (29th) floors of the Premises. Subject to the provisions of
additional condition X of this Section 46.01, Vacant Possession of such
Expansion Space will be tendered to Tenant on the date, if at all, on which
Vacant Possession of such floors is obtained by Landlord, at the Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may not
exercise the Limited Expansion Option for any Expansion Space unless at the time
the Expansion Election Notice is sent and, to the extent set forth below on the
first day of the Expansion Term, all of the following additional conditions W,
X, Y and Z are met:
W. The Expansion Election Notice must state that Tenant elects to
add to the Premises the following portions of the Expansion Space set forth in
the Landlord Expansion

49
Space Availability Notice: [Tenant to insert description which must meet the
requirements of condition x of this Section 46.01].
X. The Expansion Space so elected pursuant to the Limited Expansion
Option and set forth in the Expansion Election Notice must (1) if the Landlord
Expansion Space Availability Notice includes Expansion Space consisting of less
than two (2) full floors be all of such space except that any space which is
less than a full floor need not be included in an Expansion Election Notice
unless it is contiguous either to other portions of the Premises or to other
Expansion Space previously or contemporaneously included in an Expansion
Election Notice and (2) if the Expansion Notice includes Expansion Space
consisting of two (2) full floors or more, must be a minimum of two (2) full
floors and, in order to assure that all elected Expansion Space is contiguous to
other portions of the Premises, all such Expansion Space set forth in any
Expansion Election Notice must be contiguous (a) to the then Premises or (b) to
Expansion Space previously or contemporaneously included in an Expansion
Election Notice before Expansion Space which does not met the criteria set forth
in clauses (2) (a) or (2) (b) may be elected pursuant to an Expansion Election
Notice (e.g., with respect to the D & P Expansion Space, an
-48-
50
Expansion Election Notice may not include floor 24 unless either floors 20, 21,
22 and 23, as a group, or floors 25, 26 and the balance of 27, as a group, have
been so elected and then are occupied by Tenant and with respect to the S & A
Expansion Space, an Expansion Election Notice may not include floor 11 unless
either floors 8, 9 and 10, as a group, or floors 12 and 14, as a group, have
also been elected and are then occupied by Tenant).
Y. No Expansion Election Notice may be sent by Tenant under this
Article unless at the time of sending the Expansion Election Notice and on the
first day of the Expansion Term (1) the most recent audited financial statement
of Tenant and each of the FOCUS Reports filed with the SEC during the twelve
(12) months prior to such first day shows a net worth of not less than $185
million and a Net Capital of not less than $56 million and (2) the Expansion
Election Notice is accompanied by such financial statement and FOCUS Reports.
Z. Tenant shall not be in default under any of the terms, covenants
and conditions of the Lease beyond any notice and grace period hereunder at the
time it sends any Expansion Election Notice.

51
Section 46.02. In the event that Tenant validly exercises a Limited
Expansion Option for any Expansion Space:
The Fixed Rent per rentable square foot with respect to such
Expansion Space, payment of which shall commence on the first day of the
Expansion Term, shall be an amount equal to aggregate of (A) the Fixed Rent per
rentable square feet for the 28th and 29th floors and (B) the Additional Rent
for Tax Escalation under Article 6 (Tax Payments) and for Expense Escalation
under Article 7 (ESCALATION) per rentable square foot for the 28th and 29th
floors. With respect to such Expansion Space, the Base Tax under Article 6 (TAX
PAYMENTS) shall be the Real Estate Taxes for the Tax Year in which any portion
of the Expansion Term shall fall and the Expense Base under Article 7
(ESCALATION) shall be the calendar year of the earliest year of the Expansion
Term. The Tenants Share, as used in said Articles 6 (TAX PAYMENTS) and 7
(ESCALATION) shall be increased based upon the number of rentable square feet of
said Expansion Space. The Expansion Term shall commence on the date of the
tender to Tenant of Vacant Possession of the Expansion Space.
-50-
52
Section 46.03. In the event Tenant validly exercises any Limited
Expansion Option under this Article, the parties shall immediately be bound
thereby without the execution of an amendment to this Lease; however, at the
request of either party, the parties shall promptly execute and deliver a
written amendment to this Lease reflecting the addition of such Expansion Space
as part of the Premises for the Expansion Term, the increase of the Fixed Rent
and the increase of the Tenant's Share as provided above by reason of the
addition of such Expansion Space. Except for such changes, the provisions of
this Lease shall apply with respect to such Expansion Space and such Expansion
Space shall be and become part of the Premises. Tenant will accept possession of
such Expansion Space, and the facilities thereto and improvements therein in the
then "AS IS" condition on the date of delivery thereof to Tenant and, except as
hereinafter provided, Landlord shall not be required to perform any work or to
give Tenant any work allowance whatsoever with respect to any such Expansion
Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord fails or is unable
to tender Vacant Possession of all or any portion of such Expansion Space to
Tenant on the proposed delivery date thereof as a result of Force Majeure, the
performance by Landlord of Removal Work or the holding over of the prior tenant
or otherwise, Landlord shall not be
-51-
53
subject to any liability whatsoever for such failure or inability to tender
Vacant Possession during the continuation of the Force Majeure, holding over by
such prior tenant or performance of such Removal Work, but the Fixed Rent and
Additional Rent shall not commence with respect to such portion of such
Expansion Space until the date on which Vacant Possession thereof is actually
tendered to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Vacant Possession of any
Expansion Space is not tendered by Landlord within twelve (12) months following
the stated expiration date of the existing lease of such Expansion Space, Tenant
may, by notice given to Landlord after such twelve (12) month period has expired
but prior to the date Vacant Possession is tendered to Tenant, elect to cancel
its Expansion Election Notice but only with respect to such Expansion Space as
to which such Vacant Possession has not been tendered. For purposes of computing
the twelve (12) month period referred to above, the Removal Period shall not be
included in such computation. Nothing herein shall operate to extend the
Expiration Date for any of the Premises (including but not limited to such
Expansion Space) beyond the date otherwise fixed for the expiration of the Term
or of the Expansion Term, as applicable.
-52-
54
Section 46.04. Time shall be expressly of the essence with respect
to all notices given by Tenant under this Article, and the time periods for the
giving of such notices shall not be extended for any reason whatsoever.
Section 46.05. In the event Tenant shall fail to send to Landlord an
Expansion Election Notice in response to a Landlord Expansion Space Availability
Notice within the applicable time period as provided herein, Tenant shall be
conclusively deemed to have failed to have exercised its Limited Expansion
Option with respect to such Landlord Expansion Space Availability Notice, and
Tenant agrees that no action taken subsequently by Landlord or by Tenant shall
operate to revive any rights of Tenant under this Article with respect to the
Expansion Space set forth in such Landlord Expansion Space Availability Notice.
Section 46.06. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the sending to
Tenant of any Landlord Expansion Space Availability Notice or the sending by
Tenant of an Expansion Election Notice in response to a Landlord Expansion Space
Availability Notice shall be construed (1) to grant any rights to Tenant with
respect to (a) any Expansion Space prior to such space being required to be
expressly included in any Landlord Expansion Space
-53-
55
Availability Notice or (b) any S & A Expansion Space which is either (i) not set
forth in a Conditional First Renewal Term Election Notice or (ii) was set forth
in a Landlord Expansion Space Availability Notice but not included in a valid
Expansion Election Notice sent in response to thereto (the space described in
clause (b), hereinafter the "Excluded S & A Expansion Space"), Tenant expressly
acknowledging that Landlord is under no duty to cause Vacant Possession of all
or any D & P Expansion Space or all or any Excluded S & A Expansion Space to be
delivered to Landlord or to be required to or be able to be delivered to
Landlord and that Landlord may never be required to or be able to send a
Landlord Expansion Space Availability Notice with respect thereto, and that
Landlord may, if it so elects in its sole discretion, actively deal in any
manner with the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease and with the tenant
under the Sidley & Austin Lease in such a manner as may prevent Vacant
Possession of any or all D & P Expansion Space and of all or any Excluded S & A
Expansion Space from ever being so delivered or from being required to or being
able to be so delivered to Landlord, (2) to prevent Landlord from negotiating
with the tenant of the D & P Expansion Space or of the Excluded S & A Expansion
Space or from entering into one or more leases of all or any D & P Expansion
Space or all or any Excluded S & A Expansion Space
-54-
56
or modifications of the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease or of the Sidley & Austin
Lease affecting all or any D & P Expansion Space or all or any Excluded S & A
Expansion Space, which lease(s) or modification(s) may contain modifications to
the rental or other provisions thereof or grant renewal or extension options in
favor of the tenant(s) thereunder the term of which may extend past the Term of
this Lease as it may be extended, (3) to obligate Landlord to (a) refuse its
consent to any proposed sublease or assignment by a tenant in possession of all
or any D & P Expansion Space, or all or any Excluded S & A Expansion Space, (b)
accept a surrender of any or all D & P Expansion Space or all or any Excluded S
& A Expansion Space or (c) agree with the tenant of the D & P Expansion Space or
of the Excluded S & A Expansion Space to cancel or modify the rights of such
tenant with respect to all or any D & P Expansion Space or all or any Excluded S
& A Expansion Space or (4) to obligate Landlord to evict any tenant of all or
any D & P Expansion Space or of all or any Excluded S & A Expansion Space which
is in default under its lease thereof, even if the effect of any such action or
inaction described in clauses (1) to (4) inclusive considered singly or
cumulatively, may be to preclude Vacant Possession of any D & P Expansion Space
or all or any Excluded S & A Expansion Space from ever being delivered or being
able to be delivered to Landlord or may
-55-
57
otherwise materially and adversely affect the possibility of tendering of Vacant
Possession of D & P Expansion Space or Excluded S & A Expansion Space to Tenant.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not enter into any amendment or
modification of the Sidley & Austin Lease (other than with respect to the
Excluded S&A Expansion Space) which shall have any adverse effect on the
potential rights of Tenant to any S & A Expansion Space, although it may enter
into such an amendment or modification of the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease even
though such amendment or modification may have such an adverse effect with
respect to the D & P Expansion Space. Landlord shall include in any Landlord
Expansion Space Availability Notice all Expansion Space which (a) Landlord
reasonably believes the tenant thereof will deliver Vacant Possession on a date
certain prior to the stated expiration date of the term of the lease of such
Expansion Space and (b) has not been included in any prior Landlord Expansion
Space Availability Notice.
Section 46.07. If an Expansion Election Notice has been validly sent
by Tenant with respect to at least two (2) full floors of S & A Expansion Space
and the Expansion Term with respect to such S & A Expansion Space has not
commenced and if, prior to June 1, 2001 Landlord sends Tenant a Landlord 28 and
29 Availability Notice, Landlord
-56-
58
shall, in such notice, designate two (2) floors of S & A Expansion Space which
Tenant may surrender, and Tenant may, in its First 28 and 29 Renewal Term
Election Notice elect to cancel its Expansion Election Notice with respect only
to the two (2) floors of S & A Expansion Space so designated by Landlord.
Section 46.08. In addition to the limitation of liability set forth
in Section 46.03, Tenant expressly waives any right to rescind this Lease under
Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or under any present or future
statute of similar import then in force and further expressly waives the right
to recover any damages, direct or indirect, which may result from Landlord's
failure to deliver Vacant Possession of the Expansion Space on the commencement
date of the Expansion Term. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Article
are intended to constitute "an express provision to the contrary" within the
meaning of said Section 223-a. Any such failure to so deliver Vacant Possession
shall not extend the expiration date of the Expansion Term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Section 46.08, in the event that the failure to
deliver Vacant Possession of any Expansion Space on the commencement date of the
First Renewal Term is not the result of Force Majeure, the holding over of the
prior tenant or the
-57-
59
performance of Removal Work, Tenant may, not earlier than sixty (60) days after
the commencement date of the First Renewal Term, elect to cancel its Expansion
Election Notice but only with respect to such Expansion Space with respect to
which Vacant Possession was not so delivered; provided, however, such election
to cancel shall not be effective if prior thereto Landlord has tendered Vacant
Possession of such S & A Expansion Space. For purposes of computing the sixty
(60) day period referred to above, the Removal Period shall not be included in
such computation.
12. Landlord represents, warrants and covenants that:
A. (1) The Building Equipment which serves the Additional 27th Floor
Premises shall be in working order on the date Vacant Possession of the
Additional 27th Floor Premises shall be delivered to Tenant.
(2) The Building Equipment which serves Expansion Space set forth
in (a) a valid Expansion Election Notice or (b) a Conditional First Renewal Term
Election Notice with respect to which a Renewal Termination Notice has validly
withdrawn the Renewal Condition, shall be in
-58-
60
working order on the date Vacant Possession of such Expansion Space is tendered
to Tenant.
B. No asbestos was used in the construction of the Additional 27th
Floor Premises or any Expansion Space by Landlord. Landlord has no actual
knowledge (as distinguished from imputed or implied knowledge) that any
Hazardous Substance (as so designated on the date of execution of this
Agreement) was used in the construction of the Additional 27th Floor Premises or
any Expansion Space. In the event any Hazardous Substance (as so designated as
of the date of execution of this Agreement) or asbestos is found in the
Additional 27th Floor Premises or in any Expansion Space set forth in (a) a
valid Expansion Election Notice or (b) a Conditional First Renewal Term Election
Notice with respect to which a Renewal Termination Notice has validly withdrawn
the Renewal Condition, Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, elect
either to (1) remove such Hazardous Substance (as so designated as of the date
of execution of this Agreement) and asbestos that is found in the Additional
27th Floor Premises or in such Expansion Space (the "Removal Work") or (2)
reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost incurred by Tenant solely to remove
such Hazardous Substance and asbestos that is so found. In the event that
Landlord makes the Removal Election (hereinafter
-59-
61
defined), Landlord shall, after obtaining Vacant Possession of such Additional
27th Floor Premises or such Expansion Space, as the case may be, commence the
Removal Work with reasonable promptness, given the nature of the Removal Work
and the necessity to observe all safety requirements, Legal Requirements and
Insurance Requirements in connection with the prosecution of such Removal Work,
and thereafter prosecute to completion such Removal Work with reasonable
diligence given the nature of the Removal Work and the need to comply with all
safety requirements, Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements with respect
to such Removal Work. For purposes of this Agreement, (x) Removal Work shall
include investigating whether Hazardous Substance (as so designated) or asbestos
is present, obtaining all necessary permits and preparing to commence the
physical activities in connection therewith as well as obtaining all necessary
government approvals for the work to be performed and as performed and (y) the
period of time during which Landlord has commenced and prosecuted such Removal
Work in accordance with the foregoing standard is called the "Removal Period".
For purposes of this Agreement, the election under clause 1 of this subparagraph
B shall be called the "Removal Election" and the election under clause 2 under
this subparagraph B shall be called the "Reimbursement Election". Landlord may
make the Removal
-60-
62
Election or Reimbursement Election at any time within ninety (90) days after
Landlord has actual (as distinguished from imputed or implied) knowledge of the
presence of Hazardous Substance (as so designated) or asbestos in such Expansion
Space; provided, however, if Vacant Possession is tendered to Tenant prior to
Landlord's obtaining such actual knowledge, Landlord shall immediately notify
Tenant of the facts of which it has actual knowledge with respect to the
presence of such Hazardous Substance and be deemed to have made the
Reimbursement Election.
13. Landlord shall dedicate at least one (1) but not more than two
(2) elevators for use solely by Tenant to service those portions of the Premises
designated by Tenant provided that (A) implementing such request does not
violate the provisions of the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease disclosed to Tenant in
connection with the negotiation of this paragraph 13 relating, among other
matters, to the right of the tenant under the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease to
require Landlord to dedicate up to three (3) elevators for the exclusive use of
said tenant, and (B) Tenant complies with each of the following terms and
conditions:
(i) Tenant retains, at its sole cost and expense, Xxxxxxxxx
Elevator Corp. to report in writing to
-61-
63
Landlord and Tenant that the dedication desired by the Tenant is feasible.
Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of said report promptly upon its
receipt;
(ii) All work to be performed in connection with said
dedication shall be performed by Xxxxxxxxx Elevator Corp. and all expenses
incurred with respect to such dedication, including without limitation the cost
of conversion, reprogramming and rewiring, shall be paid for by Tenant; and
(iii) All such work shall be performed prior to 7:00 AM and
after 10:00 PM and shall comply with all of Landlord's Rules and Regulations,
Landlord's customary practices, and all Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any cost incurred by Landlord
in connection with the dedication of said elevator or elevators including,
without limitation, the cost of on-the-job services requested by Tenant or
required by Landlord's Rules and Regulations or Landlord's customary practices
including, but not limited to, removal of waste and debris, dumpster, protection
of work in progress and guard service. If Tenant requests Landlord provide
on-the-job services during overtime hours, on weekends or during holidays,
Landlord shall make reasonable
-62-
64
efforts to accommodate Tenant and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such
overtime, weekend and holiday costs incurred.
In the event that Landlord determines, in its reasonable judgment, that by
reason of damage to other elevators, or by reason of other events causing
inoperability of other elevators, or during periods scheduled for maintenance of
other elevators, in order to maintain adequate elevator service within any
portion of the Building, revocation of such dedication is necessary, Landlord
may revoke such dedication for so long as necessary, provided, however, Landlord
shall, promptly after Landlord determines in its reasonable judgment that the
need for such revocation has ceased, reinstate such dedication. Landlord
covenants that during the Term it will (a) maintain in operation the six (6)
elevators now servicing the Premises and the D & P Expansion Space (provided
that the foregoing covenant shall not be claimed or deemed breached by lack of
service of any of such elevators due to normal wear and tear and breakdowns, or
the performing by Landlord of routine or unusual maintenance, renovation,
refurbishing or repair work with respect to all or any of such six (6)
elevators) and (b) notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, not
modify the provision of the Debevoise & Xxxxxxxx Lease
-63-
65
so disclosed to Tenant so as to either (i) require Landlord to dedicate more
than three (3) elevators for the exclusive use of said tenant or (ii) otherwise
limit the access of Tenant to any elevators other than the three (3) which may
be so dedicated.
14. Tenant represents that in the negotiation of this Agreement it
dealt with no broker(s) other than The Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx Company, Inc. (the
"Broker") and no other broker participated in bringing about this Agreement.
Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Landlord harmless
against any claim or liability arising out of any inaccuracy or alleged
inaccuracy of the above representation. The parties hereto acknowledge that the
Broker will be paid a commission in accordance with a separate agreement between
Landlord and Broker. Landlord represents that to the best of Landlord's
knowledge, it has not dealt with any broker other than the Broker in connection
with this Agreement.
15. Except as modified by this Agreement, the Lease shall remain in
full force and effect in accordance with its terms and (except for the
representations set forth therein) is hereby ratified and confirmed.
-64-
66
16. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.
