Licensor shall permit Licensee to receive such service direct from such utility company at Licensee's cost, and shall permit Licensor's wire and conduits, to the extent available, suitable and safely capable, to be used for such purposes. Licensee shall make all necessary arrangements with the utility company for metering and paying for electric current furnished by it to Licensee, and Licensee shall pay for all charges for electric current consumed on the Premises during Licensee's occupancy thereof. Licensee shall make no alterations or additions to the electric equipment or systems in the Premises or the Building without the prior written consent of Licensor in each instance (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Any work performed by Licensee shall, in any event, be performed in accordance with Section 12 below (including all Licensor approval rights thereunder). Licensee also agrees to purchase from Licensor or its agents, as Licensor shall direct, all lamps, bulbs, ballasts and starters used in the Premises during the Term. Licensee covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of the feeders to the Building or the risers or wiring installed thereon.

(c) Telephone. All telegraph, telephone, and electric connections which Licensee may desire shall be first approved by Licensor in writing, before the same are installed, and the location of all wires and the work in connection therewith shall be performed by contractors approved by Licensor and shall be subject to the direction of Licensor. Any work performed by Licensee shall, in any event, be performed in accordance with Section 12 below (including all Licensor approval rights thereunder). Licensor reserves the right to designate and control the entity or entities providing telephone or other communication cable installation, repair and maintenance in the Building and to restrict and control access to telephone cabinets. In the event Licensor designates a particular vendor or vendors to provide such cable installation, repair and maintenance for the Building, Licensee agrees to abide by and participate in such program. Licensee shall be responsible for and shall pay all costs incurred in connection with the installation of telephone cables and related wiring in the Premises, including, without limitation, any hook-up, access and maintenance fees related to the installation of such wires and cables in the Premises and the commencement of service therein, and the maintenance thereafter of such wire and cables. If Licensee fails to maintain all telephone cables and related wiring in the Premises and such failure affects or interferes with the operation or maintenance of any other telephone cables or related wiring in the Building, Licensor or any vendor hired by Licensor may enter into and upon the Premises forthwith and perform such repairs, restorations or alterations as Licensor deems necessary in order to eliminate any such interference (and Licensor may recover from Licensee all of Licensor's costs in connection therewith and Licensor shall have no liability to Licensee by reason thereof). Licensee agrees that neither Licensor nor any of its agents or employees shall be liable to Licensee, or any of Licensee's employees, agents customers or invitees or anyone claiming through, by or under Licensee, for any damages, injuries, losses, expenses, claims or causes of action because of any interruption, diminution, delay or discontinuance at any time for any reason in the furnishing of any telephone service to the Premises and the Building.

(d) Interruption of Services. Licensee agrees that neither Licensor, nor any of Licensor's constituent members, nor any of their respective agents, partners or employees, shall be liable for damage or injury to person, property or business or for loss or interruption of business, or for any other matter, in the event there is any failure, delay, interruption or diminution in furnishing any service. No such failure, delay, interruption or diminution shall be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Licensee's use or possession of the Premises, in whole or in part, actual or constructive, nor entitle Licensee to any claim for set-off, abatement or reduction of License Fees (except as provided below in this paragraph), nor render Licensor liable for damages, nor relieve Licensee from the performance of or affect any of Licensee's obligations under this License Agreement. However, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any such failure, delay, interruption or diminution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of the Licensor’s services being provided under this Section 6 are interrupted, such that Licensee is not able and actually ceases to conduct any of its customary business activities in the Premises for a period of five (5) consecutive business days, then, the License Fees payable hereunder shall xxxxx as of the sixth (6th) consecutive business day and thereafter until such time as service is restored so that Licensee is able to or actually resumes occupancy of any portion of the Premises for any of its customary business activities. If such failure of services of the nature and extent described in the preceding sentence continues for fifteen (15) business days, then Licensee shall also have the right to terminate this License Agreement by delivery of written notice thereof to Licensor on or before the first to occur of Licensor’s restoration of such services or Licensee’s occupancy of any portion of the Premises for the conduct of its customary business operations therefrom (time being of the essence), whereupon this License Agreement shall terminate as of the date of Licensor’s receipt of such notice, as if such date was the stated expiration date of the term hereof. The rights of Licensee under this subparagraph (d) shall be the sole recourse of Licensee in the case of any failure of services as described above in this subparagraph (d).

Licensor and its contractors shall have free access to any and all mechanical installations in the Premises, and Licensee agrees that there shall be no construction of partitions or other obstructions which might interfere with the moving of the servicing equipment of Licensor to or from the enclosures containing said installations. Licensee further agrees that neither Licensee nor its employees, agents, licensees, invitees or contractors shall at any time tamper with, adjust or otherwise in any manner adversely affect Licensor's mechanical installations in the Premises or the Building.

(f) Extra or Additional Services. Licensee may request to Licensor to provide services which are extra or additional services to those described in Section 6(a) above, by delivery to Licensor of an advance written request therefor. If Licensor shall agree to so provide any such services which are extra or in addition to those services described in Section 6(a) above, Licensee shall pay for any such extra or additional services so provided by Licensor at Licensor's established rates therefor from time to time. All charges for any such extra or additional services so provided by Licensor shall be due and payable within ten (10) days after Licensee receives Licensor's xxxx therefor. If Licensee fails to pay when due Licensor's charges for any such extra or additional services, Licensor shall have the right, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Licensor, to discontinue furnishing any such extra or additional services for which Licensee has failed to pay. If Licensor discontinues any such extra or additional services as provided in this Section 6(f), no such discontinuance shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Licensee's use of the Premises or render Licensor liable for damages or relieve Licensee from performance of Licensee's obligations under this License Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, if Licensee desires air conditioning or heat during times or on days on which Licensor is not required to provide such service pursuant to Section 6(a)(i) above, Licensor shall provide such service to Licensee provided that (i) Licenseet notifies Licensor (which notification may be via telephone or email) on or before 5:00 p.m. on any business day on which Licensee desires air conditioning or heat after hours on such business day, or before 5:00 p.m. on the business day immediately preceding any holiday or weekend day for which Licensee desires such service, and (ii) Licensee shall pay Licensor, Licensor’s then Building standard after-hours HVAC charges in connection with such after-hours service.

Licensee hereby waives all claims against Licensor and all of the other Indemnified Parties for injury to persons, damage to property or to any other interests of Licensee sustained by Licensee or any person claiming through Licensee resulting from any occurrence in or about the Building (except for claims arising from Licensor's willful misconduct or gross negligence). The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this License Agreement.

8. Laws and Regulations; Rules of Building. Licensee shall comply with, and Licensee shall cause its employees, agents and invitees to comply with (i) all of the laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations relating to the use and occupancy of the Premises (including, without limitation, all laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of state, federal, municipal and other agencies or bodies having any jurisdiction over the Premises), and (ii) all rules of the Building adopted and altered by Licensor from time to time for the safety, care and cleanliness of the Premises and/or Building and for preservation of good order therein.

All insurance policies hereunder shall name Licensor as an additional insured and shall provide for thirty (30) days' written notice to Licensor prior to cancellation, non-renewal or material modification, and, if a "claims made" policy, shall provide for an extended reporting period of not less than one (1) year.

10. Assignment, Sublicense. Licensee may not assign, sublicense or in any other manner transfer or encumber this License Agreement or Licensee's rights hereunder. This License Agreement and the License granted hereby are personal to Licensee. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Licensor’s consent shall not be required for an assignment to a Licensee Affiliate (as hereinafter defined), , as long as (i) Licensee gives reasonable prior or subsequent notice to Licensor of the assignment, (ii) the assignee has a net worth reasonably sufficient to be able to satisfy the remaining Licensee obligations under this License Agreement, and (iii) such assignee assumes the obligations of Licensee under this License Agreement (unless such assumption is not legally required to obligate the successor (e.g. in connection with a merger)). As used herein, the term "Licensee Affiliate" shall mean any entity (i) which acquires all or substantially all of the assets and business or stock of the Licensee under this License Agreement for a purpose other than to circumvent the provisions of this Section 10; (ii) which results from a merger or consolidation with the Licensee under this License Agreement; or (iii) which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, the Licensee under this License Agreement. The term "control" as used in this License Agreement means the power to directly or indirectly direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of Licensee, through the ownership of voting securities or other ownership interests. All terms of this License Agreement shall continue to apply with respect to an assignment to a Licensee Affiliate, and the original named Licensee shall continue to remain liable to Licensor, on a joint and several basis with the assignee, for all obligations and liabilities of the “Licensee” hereunder (i.e., unless the assigning "Licensee" ceases to exist as a separate legal entity as a result of the transaction giving rise to the permitted assignment to a Licensee Affiliate under this Section 10, such as in the case of a merger, whereupon only the surviving assignee shall remain so liable hereunder).

11. Entry for Repairs and Inspection. Licensee shall permit Licensor and its contractors, agents or representatives to enter into and upon any part of the Premises at all reasonable hours to inspect the same, make repairs, alterations or additions thereto, show the same to prospective tenants, purchasers, mortgagees or parties or for any other purpose, as Licensor may deem reasonably necessary or desirable, and Licensee shall not be entitled to any claim against Licensor by reason thereof. Licensor shall give Licensee written or oral notice prior to entry into the Premises, except in event of emergency. Licensor shall not cause or make any modifications, repairs or alterations to the Premises which may interfere with the business of Licensee without reasonable written notice and shall cooperate with Licensee to avoid any such interference.

12. Alterations.

(a) Licensee shall not make or allow to be made any alterations or physical additions (including fixtures) to be made in or to the Premises, without first obtaining the written consent of Licensor (which consent may be withheld in Licensor's sole and absolute discretion). Any such alterations or additions consented to by Licensor shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with such terms and conditions as may be imposed by Licensor. Licensee shall deliver to Licensor a copy of the "as-built" plans and specifications for all alterations or physical additions so made in or to the Premises.

(b) Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensor from and against all costs (including attorneys' fees and costs of suit), losses, liabilities or causes of action arising out of or relating to any alterations, additions or improvements made by Licensee or Licensee's contractors to the Premises, including but not limited to any mechanics' or materialmen's liens asserted in connection therewith.

(c) Should any mechanic's or other liens be filed against any portion of the Building by reason of Licensee's acts or omissions or because of a claim against Licensee, Licensee shall cause the same to be canceled or discharged of record, or otherwise insured over to Licensor's satisfaction, within ten (10) days after the filing of any such lien. If Licensee shall fail to so cancel, discharge or insure over said lien or liens, within said ten-day period, Licensor may, at its sole option, cancel or discharge the same and upon Licensor's demand, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for all costs incurred in canceling or discharging such liens.

13. Condemnation. If any portion of the Premises shall be taken or condemned for any public purpose, this License Agreement shall, at the option of either party, forthwith terminate as of the date possession is taken, subject to any provisions hereof which by their terms shall survive such termination. If the entire Building or a substantial part thereof shall be taken, this License Agreement shall end upon the earlier of the date when possession shall be required by the condemning authority or the effective date of the taking, subject to any provisions hereof which by their terms shall survive such termination. All proceeds payable on account of any interest in the Premises or this License shall belong to Licensor. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Licensee from seeking and retaining a separate award from the condemning authority in any proceeding involving a taking or a sale in lieu of a taking for Licensee's trade fixtures, equipment or relocation expenses, but only to the extent that such action by Licensee does not reduce the award distributable to Licensor on account of the value of the taking.

14. Casualty. If the Premises or Building is damaged by fire or other casualty so that Licensee cannot use the Premises for its intended use (as reasonably determined by Licensee), this License Agreement shall terminate as of the date of such damage, subject to any provisions hereof which by their terms shall survive such termination. Licensor shall have no obligation to provide substitute premises or to repair or restore the Premises.

15. Waiver of Subrogation. Anything in this License Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Licensor and Licensee each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the other and such other party's members, officers, directors, or partners, as the case may be, and the respective agents and employees of each of them, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of such person therein or in the Building, by reason of fire, the elements, or any other cause insured against under valid and collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policies, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence (except in any case which would render this waiver void under law), to the extent that such loss or damage is recovered under said insurance policies.

16. Brokers. Licensee represents and warrants to Licensor that Licensee did not deal with any broker or finder in connection with this License Agreement other than the following Brokers; CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX XxXxxxxx and Xxxxx. Licensor hereby agrees to pay the brokerage commissions payable to said Brokers above in accordance with a written agreement between Licensor and such Brokers. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold Licensor, its agents and their respective members, officers, directors, partners, employees and agents harmless of, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, liens, costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, arising from any claims or demands of any other broker or brokers or finders for any commission alleged to be due such other broker or brokers or finders claiming to have dealt with Licensee in connection with this License Agreement or with whom Licensee hereafter deals or whom Licensee employs.

17. Access; Force Majeure. Licensor shall not be liable to Licensee nor deemed in default under this License Agreement in the event Licensee's access to the Premises is barred or delayed or if Licensor fails to perform (or is delayed in performing) any of its obligations hereunder due to acts of God, public enemy, fire, injunction, riot, war, strike, lockout, labor trouble, court order, civil disorder, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws and regulations or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Licensor (provided that the foregoing shall not limit Licensee’s abatement and/or termination rights as expressly provided in Section 6(d) above, if applicable). Licensee shall not enter the premises of any tenant of the Building without the express prior consent of Licensor and the tenant in question.

18. No Interference With Others. Licensee shall use the Premises without causing objectionable interference with any activities being carried on by tenants or other occupants of the Building (provided that the foregoing shall not limit Licensee's right to possess and utilize the Premises in accordance with the terms of this License Agreement).

19. Limitation of Licensor's Personal Liability. Licensee agrees to look solely to Licensor's interest in the Building for the recovery of any judgment from Licensor, it being agreed that Licensor (and its members) shall never be personally liable for any such judgment.

20. Attorney's Fees. In the event that any action is commenced to enforce the provisions hereof, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-prevailing party of the prevailing party's litigation costs, including its reasonable attorneys' fees.

21. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section 19 above, the terms and conditions contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

Except as otherwise set forth herein, the extension of the term being effectuated hereby shall be on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the License Agreement relative to the License Agreement term therein provided.

3. Additional Premises. Effective as of the Additional Premises Commencement Date and for a term expiring concurrently with the end of the term of the License Agreement for the remainder of the Premises (as extended hereby, and subject to further extension or earlier termination as provided in the License Agreement, and subject to earlier termination of the License Agreement relative to the 7th Floor Additional Premises as provided herein):

In addition, for the period from and after the Additional Premises Commencement Date and through the 7th Floor Termination Date (as the same may be extended under Section 4 above), Licensee shall pay License Fees for the 7th Floor Additional Premises being licensed under the License Agreement in an amount equal to $67,167.00 per month (being calculated based on $27.00 per rentable square foot per annum) for each month of the term (and Section 4 of the Original License is hereby further amended accordingly). The License Fees due and owing from time to time under the License Agreement (as amended hereby) shall be payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the term, all in accordance with such terms and provisions as otherwise set forth in the License Agreement relative to the payment of License Fees thereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is acknowledged that Licensee has heretofore paid License Fees for the Original Premises for the month of January, 2011, and, accordingly, it is agreed that the balance of the License Fees due for the month of January as set forth in this Amendment (i.e., attributable to the Additional Premises, and prorated for the period from and after the Additional Premises Commencement Date and through January 31, 2011) shall equal $72,238.06, and shall be payable from Licensee to Licensor on or prior to the Additional Premises Commencement Date, and as a condition to Licensor’s obligation to deliver possession of the Additional Premises to Licensee hereunder.

The date Licensor so tenders possession of each such portion of the Additional Premises to Licensee, in the condition required by the preceding sentence, is herein referred to as the "Turnover Date" for such applicable portion of the

3

Additional Premises. If the Turnover Date for any respective portion of the Additional Premises does not occur on or before the respective Projected Turnover Date for such space, for any reason, then Licensor shall not be liable or responsible for any claims, damages, or liabilities in connection therewith or by reason thereof, and such failure should not effect the validity of this Amendment or of the License Agreement or otherwise affect the obligations of Licensee under this Amendment or the License Agreement; provided, however, in such event, (i) Licensor shall use commercially reasonable diligent efforts (which may require overtime work) to substantially complete the Licensor's Work within such portion of the Additional Premises and thereupon deliver possession of the portion of the Additional Premises to Licensee as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, and (ii) the applicable Additional Premises Commencement Date for such portion of the Additional Premises shall be deferred until the respective Turnover Date for such portion of the Additional Premises hereunder (or such earlier date, if applicable, when Licensee has occupied such portion of the Additional Premises for the conduct of any business operations therefrom). In the event the applicable Additional Premises Commencement Date for any portion of the Additional Premises is deferred pursuant to this Section 7 beyond the applicable Projected Turnover Date therefor, License Fees relative to the respective portion of the Additional Premises under this Amendment shall not commence until said revised Additional Premises Commencement Date relative to such space (but subject, in any event to the 30-day abatement thereof as provided in Section 6 above); provided that the expiration date of the term of the License Agreement (as extended by this Amendment) shall not be extended or modified on account thereof, and shall remain “May 31, 2012” for all purposes hereof. For purposes hereof, the term "substantially completed", "substantially complete", "substantial completion", or words of similar import, shall mean completion of the Licensor's Work within the applicable portion of the Additional Premises, except for minor and insubstantial details of construction, detail or mechanical adjustments which remain to be done to the extent that such remaining incomplete items would not materially interfere with the use of the applicable portion of the Additional Premises for an office. In the event of any dispute as to whether the Licensor's Work is substantially complete, the decision of Licensor's licensed architect shall be final and binding on the parties.

At Licensee’s request, Licensor shall allow Licensee’s approved contractors to have access to the 3rd Floor Additional Premises, the 4th Floor Additional Premises, the 25th Floor Additional Premises and the 26th Floor Additional Premises prior to the respective Turnover Date for each such portion of the Additional Premises, in order to allow installation of telephone systems and other fixturing activities (all of which shall be performed in accordance with all terms and provisions of the License Agreement governing alteration work being performed by Licensee from time to time at the Premises), but only so long as such early access will not, in Licensor’s judgment, materially interfere with or delay Licensor’s performance of the Licensor’s Work or otherwise increase the costs in any material respect for such Licensor’s Work. During any such early access under this paragraph, Licensee hereby agrees to fully cooperate with (and to cause its contractors to fully cooperate with) Licensor and Licensor’s contractors with regard to scheduling times for the performance of such fixturing activities by Licensee, and with respect to coordinating the fixturing activities of Licensee’s contractors in the respective portions of the Additional Premises with Licensor's performance of the Licensor’s Work.

Following the Turnover Date for each applicable portion of the Additional Premises in accordance with the terms of this Section 7, Licensor shall proceed diligently to complete the balance (if any) of the Licensor's Work therein within thirty (30) days, subject, however, to delays beyond Licensor’s reasonable control so long as Licensor is diligently pursuing such completion. Licensee hereby acknowledges that, following the Turnover Date for each applicable portion of the Additional Premises, Licensor may complete any then unfinished portions of the Licensor's Work in or about such portion of the Additional Premises during normal business hours while Licensee is performing work or otherwise

4

conducting its business operations therein, if and only if, in Licensee’s reasonable judgment, such work will not unreasonably affect Licensee’s ability to conduct its business in such portion of the Additional Premises. If and to the extent Licensee reasonably determines that any portions of such Licensor’s Work would unreasonably affect Licensee’s ability to conduct its business in the applicable portion of the Additional Premises, then such portions of the Licensor’s Work shall be performed after normal business hours at the Building. Licensor and Licensee hereby agree to cooperate with one another with regard to scheduling times for the performance of said balance of the Licensor's Work and coordinating Licensee's activities in the respective portions of the Additional Premises with Licensor's performance of same. During Licensor's completion of the unfinished portions of the Licensor's Work, Licensee and Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate each such party's respective activities at the applicable portions of the Additional Premises so as to minimize interference with the other party's on-going work and other activities.

Except for the Licensor’s Work required to be performed at each applicable portion of the Additional Premises, Licensee hereby agrees to accept possession of each applicable portion of the Additional Premises in its "as is" condition as of date of this Amendment, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Licensee hereby further acknowledges and agrees that (a) Licensor has not made any representation or warranty whatsoever, either express or implied (including, without limitation, any implied warranty of habitability or fitness for a particular purpose), respecting the condition of the Additional Premises, and (b) except for the Licensor’s Work being performed at each applicable portion of the Additional Premises, Licensor has not made any promise to alter, remodel or improve the Additional Premises for Licensee's occupancy, nor to give any allowance or other concession to Licensee on account thereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, Licensee shall have the right to use, at each applicable portion of the Additional Premises, during the term of the License Agreement (as extended hereby), all items of furniture or other non-affixed personal property located at such portion of the Additional Premises as of the date of mutual execution and delivery hereof by the parties (herein, collectively, the “Existing Additional Premises Furniture Items”). The Existing Additional Premises Furniture Items shall remain the property of Licensor at all times, and may not be removed from the respective portion of the Additional Premises by Licensee at any time. Licensee shall surrender such Existing Additional Premises Furniture Items to Licensor as of the end of the term of the License Agreement, as extended hereby (or as of any earlier termination of Licensee’s possession of the respective portion of the Additional Premises) in the same condition as existing as of the respective Additional Premises Commencement Date for each particular portion of the Additional Premises, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

8. Entire Agreement. The entire agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby is set forth in this Amendment and in the License Agreement as amended hereby.

9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10. No Offer. Submission of this instrument for examination or negotiation shall not bind Licensor, and no obligation on the part of Licensor shall arise until this instrument is signed and delivered by both Licensor and Licensee; provided, however, the execution and delivery of this instrument by Licensee to Licensor shall constitute an offer by Licensee to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby on the terms and conditions herein contained, which offer may not be revoked for ten (10) business days after such delivery (and then, only if Licensor has not then delivered a fully executed original of this instrument to Licensee).

11. Brokers. Licensee represents and warrants to Licensor that Licensee did not deal with any broker or finder in connection with this Amendment other than the following Brokers; CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX XxXxxxxx and Xxxxx. Licensor hereby agrees to pay any brokerage commissions payable to said Brokers above relative to this Amendment in accordance with any applicable written agreement between Licensor and such Brokers. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold Licensor, its agents and their respective members, officers, directors, partners, employees and agents harmless of, from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, liens, costs and expenses, including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, arising from any claims or demands of any other broker or brokers or finders for any commission alleged to be due such other broker or brokers or finders claiming to have dealt with Licensee in connection with this Amendment or with whom Licensee hereafter deals or whom Licensee employs.

12. Certification and Agreement. Licensee hereby certifies to Licensor as of the date of this Amendment that (i) it is not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by any Executive Order or the United States Treasury Department as a terrorist, “Specially Designated National and Blocked Person,” or other banned or blocked person, entity, nation, or transaction pursuant to any law, order, rule, or regulation that is enforced or administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control; and (ii) it is not engaged in the transaction evidenced by the License Agreement, directly or indirectly on behalf of, or instigating or facilitating the transaction evidenced by the License Agreement, directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation. LICENSEE hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless LICENSOR, LICENSOR’s members, officers, employees and agents, LICENSOR’s managing agent, any officer, director, stockholder, partner, member, trustee, beneficiary, employee, agent or contractor of LICENSOR’s managing agent, and any MORTGAGEE OF THE BUILDING, FROM AND AGAINST ANY and all claims, damages, losses, risks, liabilities, and expenses (including attorney’s fees and costs) arising from or related to any breach of the certification set forth above in this SECTION 12. The terms and conditions contained in this Section 12 shall be expressly binding upon and shall expressly inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

13. Lease. Licensor shall have the right, at any time, to convert the License Agreement (as amended hereby) into a lease agreement, whereby Licensee, as tenant, would lease the Premises being licensed under the License Agreement from Licensor, as landlord, for a gross rental equal to the License Fees payable from time to time under the License Agreement (as amended hereby), all in accordance with the same substantive terms and conditions, in all material respects, as otherwise set forth in the License Agreement (as amended hereby). If Licensor so requests the conversion of the License Agreement to a lease, as provided in the preceding sentence, then provided that the terms and conditions of the lease are consistent with the terms of the License Agreement (as amended hereby) in all material respects, the parties shall enter into Landlord's proposed form of lease used at the Building within thirty (30) days following such request (with such changes thereto as may be reasonably acceptable to the parties so that the form lease contains the same substantive terms, in all material respects, as otherwise set forth in the License Agreement).

14. License Agreement in Full Force and Effect. Except as herein provided, all the terms and provisions of the License Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and Paragraph 19 of the Original License shall apply to this Amendment and to the License Agreement as amended hereby.
