(xiii) the water proofing details or acoustical systems, as applicable, for any floor of any Other Tower Unit that is immediately above or immediately below an occupiable floor of the PE Unit, and any areas of the PE Unit that are immediately adjacent to a shared lobby, if such floor or areas are intended to be occupied for a use that will create an unreasonable risk of water leaks or unreasonable disturbance from noise or vibrations (in each case taking into account the intended use of the affected space within the PE Unit). Developer shall give advance Notice to PE of any elements proposed to be installed on any floors above the PE Unit that create any unreasonable risk of water leaks, transmission of sound or vibrations or fire, and will require the Member owning the Other Tower Units in which such floors are located to incorporate reasonable protections with respect to such risks, consistent with Class A buildings in New York City;

Unless there is only one clear way to comply with such requirement, Developer shall obtain PE Member’s prior written approval for the proposed change, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that, to the extent economically feasible, Developer shall use Best Efforts to make such change in the manner that has the least impact on (x) the Plans for the Developer Work, (y) the delivery of the Delivery Blocks on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date and (z) the PE Areas and the PE Approval Areas (so long as such manner does not discriminate in its impact on the Plans against any Other Unit or the cost of any Other Unit or result in a breach of any obligation of Developer or its Affiliates under any agreements with Time Warner and its Affiliates (the “TW Agreements”)). For the avoidance of doubt, Developer shall not be obligated to make any change to the Plans requested by PE Member if, and to the extent, such change would violate the terms of the MTA Project Documents, the ▇▇▇ Documents, the Construction Loan Documents or the TW Agreements, as applicable, or which has been disapproved by the MTA Parties, the ▇▇▇, the Construction Lender, TW Member or its Affiliates, if and to the extent the MTA Parties, the ▇▇▇, Construction Lender or TW Member or its Affiliates has a discretionary right to disapprove such change under the MTA Project Documents, the ▇▇▇ Documents, or the Construction Loan Documents, as applicable.
(c) Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.05, if PE Member does not respond, object to, or comment on, any written request for approval of any change to the Plans requiring PE Member’s approval within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of a written request for approval from Developer (which may be given by Email Notice) and such request includes on the first page thereof (or in the Email Notice) in bold face print the phrase “REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF CHANGE TO PLANS PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.04 OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT; FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS WILL RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.04(c) OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT”, then PE Member will be deemed to have approved the proposed change.
(d) Any dispute as to whether any matter is subject (or not) to the approval of PE Member (or, if applicable, the reasonableness of any such approval) as set forth in Section 3.04(a) above shall be submitted to Arbitration to be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.
Section 3.05 Field Changes; Force Majeure Changes.
(a) Field Changes. PE Member shall make a representative available to approve or disapprove Field Changes which are subject to PE Member’s approval in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04 within two (2) Business Days following delivery to PE Member of Email Notice that a proposed Field Change is available on the Project Data Site together with such relevant information and materials as shall be reasonably required to consider such proposed Field Change, including the reason for the Field Change and the impact, if any, on (x) the occurrence of the Delivery Date for any Delivery Block on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date, or (y) the occurrence of Substantial Completion on or prior to the Outside Substantial Completion Date. It is understood and agreed that Field Changes are non-discretionary changes and accordingly any such approval by PE Member shall be limited to approving the appropriate means of addressing the event or events that necessitated the Field Change in question. If PE Member does not approve or disapprove a Field Change which is subject to PE Member’s approval (in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.04) within such two (2) Business Day period, then PE Member will be deemed to have approved such Field Change.
(b) Force Majeure Changes.
(i) If any Force Majeure event occurs, and any change is required that would otherwise be subject to PE Member’s approval under Section 3.04(a), PE Member shall have the right to approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) the appropriate means of addressing such Force Majeure event, which means may include changes to the Plans, change orders, amendments to soft cost contracts or trade contracts, or new Plans required to address such Force Majeure event (each a “Force Majeure Change”). PE Member’s approval or disapproval shall be given within five (5) Business Days following delivery to PE Member of Email Notice that a Force Majeure event has occurred and proposing the means of addressing the same. If PE Member does not approve or disapprove any Force Majeure Change which is subject to PE Member’s approval within such five (5) Business Day period, then PE Member will be deemed to have approved such Force Majeure Change.
(ii) Any dispute concerning the existence or duration of a Force Majeure event or the need for any Force Majeure Change shall be resolved by Arbitration.
(c) Developer shall maintain a log of all Field Changes and Force Majeure Changes at the Field Office or on the Project Data Site, and shall keep such log current, and shall make such log available for inspection by PE Member, PE’s Architect, and PE’s Consultants promptly upon request therefor. Any dispute as to whether any Field Change or Force Majeure Change is (or is not) subject to the approval of PE Member, or as to the reasonableness of any approval shall be submitted to Arbitration to be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.
Section 3.06 Developer’s Approval Over Design Changes Initiated by PE Member; Payment for Such Changes.
(a) PE Member may, from time to time, request changes in the design of the PE Exclusive Areas or the “core” bathrooms located in portions of the Building that are to be used and/or occupied exclusively by PE Member and/or its Affiliates as reflected in the Plans (a “PE Change Order”) by submitting to Developer a written request describing the change in question. Any such change shall be subject to Developer’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, PE Member shall not have the right to request changes in the design of any PE Exclusive Areas if such change will require more than de minimis changes to any portion of the Building other than to the PE Exclusive Areas, or to the Platform or Subway Entrance. The aggregate Total PE Change Cost (if any) of implementing all PE Change Orders, determined in accordance with Section 3.07, will constitute PE Member Additional Development Costs and shall be paid for solely by PE Member. For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the foregoing conditions of this Section 3.06(a), (1) PE Member shall not have the right to request changes to the Plans other than changes to the PE Exclusive Areas and the “core” bathrooms located in portions of the Building that are to be used and/or occupied exclusively by PE Member and/or its Affiliates, (2) Developer shall not be obligated to make any change to the Plans requested by PE Member if, and to the extent, such change would violate the terms of the MTA Project Documents, the ▇▇▇ Documents, or the Construction Loan Documents, as applicable, or which has been disapproved by the MTA Parties, the ▇▇▇, or the Construction Lender, if and to the extent the MTA Parties, the ▇▇▇, or Construction Lender has a discretionary right to disapprove such change under the MTA Project Documents, the ▇▇▇ Documents, or the Construction Loan Documents, as applicable, and (3) it shall be reasonable for Developer to disapprove of any change to the Plans requested by the PE Member if such change would not be permitted under Section 3.04(d) of the TW Development Agreement.
(b) PE Member acknowledges that, in some cases, the ability of Developer to implement or consent to a PE Change Order may be subject to obtaining the consent of TW Member and/or other Unit Owners, the MTA Parties and/or the Construction Lender which, if Developer is otherwise prepared to approve, Developer shall promptly seek and use Best Efforts to obtain where same is required, shall keep PE Member reasonably apprised of the progress of obtaining such consent, and shall notify PE Member promptly if and when such consent is obtained or denied. Any consent granted by Developer to any change requested by PE Member shall be deemed a representation by Developer that it has obtained (or has determined that it was not required to obtain) the prior consent of the MTA Parties, the Construction Lender, and any other Unit Owner (including, without limitation, TW Member) to such change, unless, together with the giving of its consent, Developer notifies PE Member that the consent of the MTA Parties, the Construction Lender, or any other Unit Owner (including, without limitation, TW Member), as applicable, to such change is required and has not yet been obtained, in which event Developer shall advise PE Member if it has an estimate of the time required to obtain such consent. Any actual delay attributable to the process of obtaining such consents with respect to a PE Change Order shall be ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and PE shall pay any costs associated with obtaining such consents.
(c) PE Member shall be responsible for depositing with Construction Lender any Completion Deposits that are required by Construction Lender as a result of any PE Change Order.
(d) Subject to the terms of the TW Agreements, Developer shall also consult with, and consider in good faith, the views of, PE Member if PE Member wishes to propose changes to the Plans affecting the lobby space or elevators in the Tower Building that PE Member shares with Other Members (including, without limitation, the elevator bank screen walls, interiors of shared elevators, shared areas and floors within the PE Sky Lobby and entrance into the PE High-Rise Elevators from the shared sky lobby); provided, however, Developer shall not have any liability to PE Member for failure to implement PE Member’s views with respect to such changes. Developer and PE Member shall consult and coordinate with each other in good faith with respect to the foregoing areas.
Section 3.07 Statement of Changes; Time for Approvals.
(a) Where PE Member’s approval of any change in the Plans (other than Field Changes or Force Majeure Changes) is required or requested by Developer hereunder, Developer shall provide (or cause the Project Architect to provide) PE Member, PE’s Architect and PE’s Consultants (and/or any agent, representative or other designee of the foregoing) with notice of such change and shall make the documents reasonably required to evaluate such change available for review by PE Member, PE’s Architect and PE’s Consultants on the Project Data Site, in each case in order to solicit PE Member’s views and obtain PE Member’s written approval(s) thereto (to the extent required pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.04 and subject to the provisions of Section 3.05). Any Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples with respect thereto shall be made available in accordance with Section 3.09.
(b) With respect to any PE Change Order, as soon as practicable but no later than ten (10) Business Days after delivery to Developer of PE Member’s written request with respect thereto, Developer shall furnish (or cause the Executive Construction Manager to furnish) to PE Member, a reasonably detailed statement (a “Statement of Changes”) in the form of Exhibit E setting forth in reasonable detail Developer’s best reasonable estimate of (i) the net actual delay (the “PE Change Delay”), if any, that such proposed change will cause to the Schedule, including, without limitation, to the occurrence of Substantial Completion, which may be expressed as an anticipated range or maximum (the high end of such range or such maximum being referred to as the “Maximum PE Change Delay”), (ii) the actual net out-of-pocket cost that will be incurred, if any, solely as a result of any such net PE Change Delay, which cost shall include, without limitation, any costs required to be paid by Developer under the Construction Management Agreement or agreement with the DRB CM and to the Executive Construction Manager or the DRB ECM (collectively, the “PE Change Delay Cost”), (iii) the actual net out-of-pocket amount, if any, by which such proposed change will increase the cost of constructing the Project (including, without limitation, any increase in the Project Costs and overhead in the amount of three percent (3%) of the cost of the change (the amounts described in this clause (iii), the “Net Increased Cost”), and (iv) a development fee in the amount of three percent (3%) of the cost of the change (any such development fee, an “PE Change Development Fee”), (v) the actual out-of-pocket cost that shall be incurred by Developer, if any, in connection with the preparation of revised Plans as a result of such proposed change (such actual cost, the “Plan Revision Cost”) and (vi) any actual decrease in the cost of constructing the Project as a result of such change. The sum of the PE Change Delay Cost, the PE Change Development Fee, the Net Increased Cost and the actual Plan Revision Cost with respect to any PE Change Order (net of any actual decrease in the cost of constructing the Project resulting from such change) is referred to herein as the “Total PE Change Cost”. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the Total PE Change Cost be less than zero and in the event shall the same reduce the PE Member Total Development Cost. Developer’s reasonable estimate of the foregoing costs or savings may be expressed as a reasonably anticipated range or maximum (with one hundred five percent (105%) of the high end of such range or such maximum being referred to as the “Maximum PE Change Cost”). PE Member shall pay, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.07(b), all actual out-of-pocket architectural, engineering and cost estimating fees incurred by Developer in connection with the preparation of the Statement of Changes, whether or not PE Member elects to proceed with the PE Change Order. All Total PE Change Costs with respect to any PE Change Order shall constitute PE Member Additional Development Costs. PE Member acknowledges that the Total PE Change Cost and the PE Change Delay Cost, calculated as set forth above, are good-faith estimates only and PE Member and Developer agree that Developer shall not undertake to perform any such change order work unless and until PE Member authorizes Developer in writing to proceed with such work and agrees in writing to pay (exclusive of the PE Member Total Development Cost) the Total PE Change Cost (which may be on a time and materials basis as if Developer was performing such work for its own account); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall (i) any PE Change Delay in excess of the Maximum PE Change Delay be a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ or (ii) any Total PE Change Cost in excess of the Maximum PE Change Cost be included in the PE Member Additional Development Costs or payable by PE Member. PE Member shall comply, to the extent compliance by PE Member (as opposed to compliance by Tower A Tenant or Developer) is required, with the funding provisions of the Construction Loan Documents applicable thereto; provided, that notwithstanding any such agreement, PE Member and Developer shall attempt in good faith to agree on the Total PE Change Costs as set forth in Section 3.07(c), which process for agreement shall not interrupt or delay Developer’s construction of the Project in accordance with the change requested by PE Member or limit PE Member’s rights hereunder.
(c) Subject to Section 3.07(b), Developer and PE Member (and their respective Consultants) shall consult and attempt, in good faith, to agree on the Total PE Change Cost (with respect to any PE Change Order), any adjustment in the Schedule (which PE Member shall have the right to approve only if such change has the effect of delaying (x) the occurrence of the Delivery Date for any Delivery Block on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date, or (y) the occurrence of Substantial Completion on or prior to the Outside Substantial Completion Date) and any ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ arising therefrom, in each case as soon as practicable and within no more than ten (10) Business Days after PE Member receives a Statement of Changes and all additional information it may reasonably request in accordance with Section 18.03(a) to evaluate such Statement of Changes. Any such agreement (if, as and when reached) shall be memorialized in writing or in an amended and (to the extent PE Member has a right to approve the same) approved Schedule or set of Plans. Developer’s approval or implementation of a change pursuant to a PE Change Order, as aforesaid, shall be deemed a representation by Developer that it has obtained (or has determined that it was not required to obtain) the prior consent of the MTA Parties, the Construction Lender and any other Unit Owner to such change, unless, together with the giving of its consent, Developer notifies PE Member that the consent of the MTA Parties, the Construction Lender, or any other Unit Owner is required and has not yet been obtained. If Developer and PE Member are unable to agree on any Statement of Change, or on any component thereof, including, without limitation, any PE Change Delay or the Total PE Change Cost, within ten (10) Business Days, then either party may submit the dispute to Arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Article 14.
(d) Developer shall keep accurate books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (or other accounting method reasonably acceptable to PE Member) consistently applied to all items included in all Statements of Changes and shall make such books and records and all invoices, receipts, contracts, subcontracts and other information pertaining to the computation thereof available to PE Member (and/or its agents, representatives and/or designees) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 3.08 PE Member’s Review of Plans Not a Representation or Assumption. The review and/or approval by PE Member (or PE’s Architect or any of PE’s Consultants on behalf of PE Member) of any of the Plans shall in no event be or be deemed to be (i) a representation or agreement, implied or otherwise, by PE Member, PE’s Architect or any of PE’s Consultants, that any such Plans or other materials comply with applicable Laws, the Construction Loan Documents, the ▇▇▇ Documents or the MTA Project Documents, or (ii) an assumption by PE Member, PE’s Architect or PE’s Consultants of any liability in respect of any such Plans or materials, or in respect of the implementation of any such Plans or materials.
Section 3.09 Plans and Materials Available. Developer shall maintain on the Project Data Site (or other comparable electronic data retention system reasonably acceptable to PE Member), for inspection and use by PE Member, PE’s Architect, and PE’s Consultants and/or any agent, representative or other designee of the foregoing (on a non-exclusive basis), at least one record copy of (i) the Plans, and any change orders or other modifications to any such Plans, in each case in good order, and (ii) all Shop Drawings, Product Data and Samples showing or related to all current and pending Developer Work. The obligations of Developer pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall survive the PE Unit Closing and the termination of this Agreement for a period of seven (7) years after the latest of the PE Unit Closing, such termination, the date on which Final Completion is achieved, and the date on which the Subway Entrance is completed in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 3.10 ERY Site Plan.
(a) Developer and, by joining in the execution of this Agreement below, ERY Tenant, Tower A Tenant and Destination Retail Tenant each hereby agrees and covenants, for the benefit of PE Member, that to the extent the Related/Oxford Parties or any of their respective Affiliates engage in any further development or construction of the Initial Balance Lease Premises, or the ERY or any portion thereof, including any Severed Parcel, whether for its own account or otherwise, the same shall be developed and constructed substantially in accordance with the ERY Site Plan (without regard to the identity of any tenants or users stated thereon). Any breach by Developer, ERY Tenant, Tower A Tenant or Destination Retail Tenant of the terms of this Section 3.10(a) shall entitle PE Member to seek and obtain injunctive relief.
(b) Developer and ERY Tenant shall (i) cause the landscaping and hardscaping on the public plaza of the ERY to be completed substantially in accordance with the ERY Site Plan; provided, that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Developer shall not be subject to any penalties or liability to PE Member if the same are not completed within any particular time, (ii) cause the open space required under applicable zoning laws to be substantially completed no later than December 31, 2018 (subject to maintenance of hoists, protection and similar items pursuant to the Site Logistics Procedures or ERY Site Logistics Plan necessary for the completion of the Tower Building), and (iii) cause the Platform to be substantially completed by December 31, 2016. Developer shall use Best Efforts to cause the Subway Entrance to be completed within two (2) years following issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy for the PE Unit, subject to receipt of all necessary approvals from the MTA and other government agencies. Developer agrees to pursue diligently all such approvals.
(c) From and after the PE Unit Closing, Developer shall provide (or cause to be provided) valet parking services for the Tower Building at cost subject to reasonable guidelines.Developer represents and warrants to PE Member, as of the date hereof, that Developer or its Affiliate has entered into binding agreements to purchase the parcels of real property designated as Block 705, Lots 45 and 46, and such agreements are in full force and effect. Developer shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, use its best efforts to cause the acquisition of such parcels pursuant to such agreements. If Developer or its Affiliate acquires ownership or control after the date hereof of such parcels or any other parcel of real property within the 50 HY Block, Developer shall, or shall cause such Affiliate to, (1) record a restrictive covenant substantially in the form of the 50 HY Deed Restriction (the 50 HY Deed Restriction or any other restrictive covenant substantially in the form of the 50 HY Deed Restriction, a “50 HY Restrictive Covenant”) against such parcel in the appropriate local land records (provided, if such parcel is acquired by Developer or its Affiliate prior to Severance, such 50 HY Restrictive Covenant shall be recorded at Severance), and (2) simultaneously with or prior to the execution of such 50 HY Restrictive Covenant, cause any third party who may become the owner of any such parcel pursuant to a 50 HY Mortgage in effect as of the date of such acquisition to execute and record an instrument in the form of the 50 HY Mortgage Subordination subordinating its rights under such 50 HY Mortgage to the applicable 50 HY Restrictive Covenant. PE Member acknowledges and agrees that from and after the transfer by Developer or any of its Affiliates of any parcel within the 50 HY Block that is subject to a 50 HY Restrictive Covenant and (if applicable) a 50 HY Mortgage Subordination to any third party (that is not Developer or an Affiliate of Developer), neither Developer nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to enforce such 50 HY Restrictive Covenant or 50 HY Mortgage Subordination nor any liability for any breach of such 50 HY Restrictive Covenant or 50 HY Mortgage Subordination by such transferee or any subsequent third-party owner of such parcel (that is not Developer or an Affiliate of Developer). In no event shall Developer or any Affiliate thereof transfer Floor Area from any parcel located on the 50 HY Block to another parcel located on the 50 HY Block that is not subject to a 50 HY Restrictive Covenant (any such parcel on the 50 HY Block that is not subject to such a restrictive covenant, an “Unburdened Parcel”), unless, prior to any such transfer of Floor Area, (A) the transferee of such Floor Area executes and records against such Unburdened Parcel a restrictive declaration or other agreement, for the benefit of the Benefited Parties (as defined in the 50 HY Deed Restriction), that prohibits the construction or development on any portion of such Unburdened Parcel of any building, structure or improvement (including, without limitation, any parapet, bulkhead, fence, elevator shaft, water tower, antenna, cell tower, satellite dish, chimney, pipe, ladder, fire escape, or other mechanical or telecommunications equipment) that exceeds the Height Limit (as defined in the 50 HY Deed Restriction) (any such restrictive declaration or similar agreement recorded against an Unburdened Parcel, an “Unburdened Parcel Restriction”) and (B) the transferee of such Floor Area causes any third party who may become the owner of any such Unburdened Parcel pursuant to a recorded instrument (including, without limitation, a mortgage or lease with an option to purchase) (any such instrument, an “Unburdened Parcel Mortgage”) in effect as of the date of such transfer of Floor Area to execute and record an instrument substantially in the form of the 50 HY Mortgage Subordination subordinating its rights under such Unburdened Parcel Mortgage to the applicable Unburdened Parcel Restriction (any such instrument, an “Unburdened Parcel Mortgage Subordination”). PE Member and Developer acknowledge and agree that (i) from and after the recording of any such Unburdened Parcel Restriction and (if applicable) Unburdened Parcel Mortgage Subordination against any such Unburdened Parcel that is owned or controlled by a third party (that is not Developer or an Affiliate of Developer), (x) the Benefitted Parties shall have the sole right to enforce such Unburdened Parcel Restriction and Unburdened Parcel Mortgage Subordination, and Developer and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to enforce such Unburdened Parcel Restriction or Unburdened Parcel Mortgage Subordination and (y) Developer and its Affiliates shall have no liability to PE Member or its Affiliates in connection with the transfer of Floor Area to such Unburdened Parcel or any breach of such Unburdened Parcel Restriction or Unburdened Parcel Mortgage Subordination by the transferee of such Floor Area or any subsequent third-party owner of such Unburdened Parcel (that is not Developer or an Affiliate of Developer) and (ii) any transfer of Floor Area to an Unburdened Parcel without the prior recordation of an Unburdened Parcel Restriction and (if applicable) Unburdened Parcel Mortgage Subordination shall be void, and PE Member shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief by way of injunction and/or to compel specific performance of Developer’s obligation to obtain such Unburdened Parcel Restriction or Unburdened Parcel Mortgage Subordination (without the need to prove or demonstrate damages).
(d) The provisions of this Section 3.10 shall survive the PE Unit ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ of Plans

(a) PE Member’s prior written approval shall be required for any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to the Construction Loan Documents (or the documents evidencing any refinancing of the Construction Loan) that (i) changes the amount of proceeds of the Construction Loan available for disbursement with respect to the PE Unit, (ii) changes the timing or (or conditions to) the obligation of PE Member with respect to payment of the PE Unit Allocated Construction Loan Amount in any material respect, (iii) imposes any liability on PE Member or PE Guarantors with respect to the Construction Loan other than as set forth in the PE Developer Guaranty, (iv) increases the liability of PE Guarantors under the PE Developer Guaranty, (v) changes any provision regarding the Construction Lender’s consent or approval rights (if any) with respect to the PE Finish Work, or (vi) modifies the subordination (or priority) applicable to the Building Completion Guaranty.
(b) PE Member’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for entering into or approving any new 30 HY Project Document, or any amendment, modification, supplement or waiver to any 30 HY Project Document, in each case to the extent the same (x) discriminates against PE Member or the PE Unit as compared to the Other Members or Other Units, as applicable or (y) has a disproportionate material adverse effect on the PE Unit as compared to the Other Units. The foregoing shall not be deemed to replace or supersede (and shall be in addition to and shall supplement) any approval rights or consent rights provided to PE Member elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Operating Agreement (or in any other agreement with Developer or its Affiliates relating to the Project or the ERY to which PE Member is or becomes a direct party).
(c) During the period prior to the time which PE Member (or its Affiliate) becomes a “Member” under the Operating Agreement (and entitled to exercise the rights and privileges of a Member), Developer shall not take (and shall ensure that Managing Member and/or the LLC shall not take) without the prior consent of PE Member (x) any action or decision constituting a Major Decision (as defined in the Operating Agreement) or (y) any action or decision for which the consent of PE Member (or its Affiliate) would be required if the Assignment Agreement were effective and PE Member (or its Affiliate) were a Member (in each case subject to the same standards and provisions for approval as provided in the Operating Agreement).
(d) Developer shall provide PE Member (on a reasonably prompt basis) with copies of (i) any new 30 HY Project Document, (ii) any material amendment, modification, supplement to any 30 HY Project Document and (iii) any written notice of default sent or received under any 30 HY Project Document (which obligation shall be satisfied by making any such document or agreement on the Project Data Site).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Construction Lender does not fund Construction Loan proceeds requisitioned to pay for the PE Share of Project Costs set forth in any such Draw Request despite satisfaction of all material conditions to such funding as set forth in the Construction Loan Documents, PE Member shall make payments of the PE Member Total Development Cost in respect of such PE Share of Project Costs requisitioned in such Draw Request; provided, however, any such payments by PE Member pursuant to this clause (iii) shall not exceed in the aggregate the PE Member Debt Funding Amount; and
(iv) PE Member shall pay the PE Unit Allocated Construction Loan Amount, the PE Member Fixed MTA Deed Payment and, if applicable, the PE Member True-Up Payment in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.01.

(h) Developer shall be solely responsible to pay (or cause to be paid) the PE Share of any Project Costs in excess of the PE Member Total Development Cost (other than PE Member Additional Development Costs).
(i) PE Member shall have the right to review each Draw Request, and shall have the right to dispute all or any portion of each Draw Request consisting of costs that are PE Member Additional Development Costs, and the allocation of costs consisting of PE Member Additional Development Costs to PE Member as shown in each Draw Request, as follows:
(i) If, in PE Member’s opinion, the amount of any hard cost item to be funded pursuant to a Draw Request that constitutes PE Member Additional Development Costs is not supported by the work performed as of the date of such Draw Request, then within three (3) Business Days after delivery to PE Member of such Draw Request, PE Member shall inform Developer in writing (which may be by Email Notice) of its objection to the amount of such hard cost item or percentage of completion (it being agreed that any objection raised after such three (3) Business Day period shall be addressed in the following month’s Draw Request). Developer, the Executive Construction Manager, and the Construction Manager shall review and attempt to resolve PE Member’s objections within two (2) Business Days after delivery to Developer of such objection, and Developer and PE Member shall agree to do one of the following: (A) adjust such hard cost item, and the amount of such adjustment, in such Draw Request, (B) require additional documentation or inspection (including contracts with subcontractors, invoices, change orders, Field Change authorizations and drawings associated with the applicable Draw Request), or (C) remove the amount for such hard cost item in its entirety from such Draw Request. In the event that PE Member and Developer are unable to agree on the amount of any hard cost item included in a Draw Request, then such Draw Request shall be delivered for funding, including the amount of such hard cost item in dispute, and the dispute with respect to such amount shall be resolved through Arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Article 14.
(ii) If, in PE Member’s opinion, the amount of any design professional costs or other soft costs to be funded pursuant to a Draw Request that constitutes PE Member Additional Development Costs is not supported by the work performed as of the date of such Draw Request, then within three (3) Business Days after delivery to PE Member of such Draw Request, PE Member shall inform Developer in writing (which may be by Email Notice) of its objection to the amount of such soft cost item or percentage of completion (it being agreed that any objection raised after such three (3) Business Day period shall be addressed in the following month’s Draw Request). Developer shall respond (which may be by Email Notice) within two (2) Business Days after delivery to Developer of such objection by (A) adjusting the amount for such item in such Draw Request, (B) providing additional documentation to PE Member (including contracts with subcontractors, invoices, and change orders), (C) removing the amount for such item in its entirety from such Draw Request or (D) notifying PE Member that Developer does not agree with such objection. In the event that PE Member and Developer are unable to agree on the amount of any soft cost item included in a Draw Request, then such Draw Request shall be delivered for funding, including the amount of such soft cost item in dispute, and the dispute with respect to such amount shall be resolved through Arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Article 14.
(iii) PE Member shall be entitled to all materials and information that are reasonably necessary to evaluate and analyze the cost information in each Draw Request that includes PE Member Additional Development Costs (including contracts with subcontractors, invoices, change orders, Field Change authorizations and drawings associated with the applicable Draw Request), and Developer shall provide PE Member, PE’s Architect and the applicable PE’s Consultants with all such material and information. If PE Member disputes the allocation to PE Member of any cost in any Draw Request constituting PE Member Additional Development Costs, it shall notify Developer in writing (which may be by Email Notice) within five (5) Business Days after delivery to PE Member of such Draw Request together with such material and information (it being agreed that any objection raised after such five (5) Business Day period shall be addressed in the following month’s Draw Request). Developer and PE Member shall consult in good faith to resolve any allocation dispute, and any re-allocation of costs in resolution of such dispute will be implemented in the following month’s Draw Request in accordance with the further provisions of this Section 4.02. In the event that PE Member and Developer are unable to agree on the allocation of any cost in the Draw Request constituting PE Member Additional Development Costs, then such Draw Request shall be delivered for funding, including the amount in dispute, and the dispute with respect to such amount shall be resolved through Arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Article 14.
(iv) In no event shall any dispute between PE Member and Developer with respect to any Draw Request give PE Member the right to withhold or delay the payment thereof beyond the due date set forth in the Operating Agreement.
(j) If PE Member fails to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to a Draw Request as provided in this Section 4.02 within ten (10) days after delivery of the Draw Request, or fails to pay any other sum due hereunder on the date set forth herein, then PE Member shall pay to Developer (which amount shall not be a capital contribution to the LLC) a late charge in the amount of five percent (5%) of the unpaid portion of the amount set forth in such Draw Request; provided that with respect to the first two (2) instances during the term of this Agreement that a Draw Request is not paid on the due date thereof, no late charge shall be payable unless such failure continues for more than three (3) Business Days after written notice from Developer. Such late charge shall constitute compensation to Developer for the additional expense and inconvenience arising out of late payment by PE Member, and shall not be deemed to be a penalty. In addition, if PE Member fails to pay any Draw Request by the applicable due date therefor, then any actual delay caused by such late payment shall be a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
(k) Concurrent with the payment by PE Member of the first PE Member Remaining Equity Payment following ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ Member shall also pay to Developer the PE Member Additional Payment.
Section 4.03 Audit of Construction Costs.
(e) PE Member and its representatives (but excluding any consultant that is paid in whole or in part on a contingency fee basis) shall have the right, on an annual basis to inspect, make copies of and, where applicable to the extent relating to PE Member Additional Development Costs, audit, all books and records of the LLC and its subsidiaries or Developer, and all materials in Developer’s possession or in the possession of the LLC, the Executive Construction Manager, the Construction Manager (but, in such case, only to the extent relating to the Project or Project Costs), the Project Architect (but in such case, only to the extent relating to the Project or Project Costs), any of the Members and their Affiliates (including, without limitation, R/O Member and its Affiliates) that are not otherwise provided by Developer or the LLC and its subsidiaries, which may be posted on the Project Data Site (it being acknowledged and agreed that PE Member shall only have the right to audit such materials to the extent the same relate to expenses that are included in PE Member Additional Development Costs). Any such inspection, copying or, to the extent relating to expenses that are included in PE Member Additional Development Costs, audit shall be conducted during business hours, on reasonable notice, and at PE Member’s cost and expense; provided, that if such audit reveals any over-charging or over-allocation to PE Member of Project Costs constituting PE Member Additional Development Costs in excess of three percent (3%) of the aggregate amounts charged or allocated to PE Member which are the subject of such audit, then Developer shall reimburse PE Member for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by PE Member in conducting such audit. Any overcharge shall be paid with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of such overcharge to the date such excess is reimbursed (provided, that in the event an audit reflects an overcharge in excess of three percent (3%), then interest shall be at the Default Rate in lieu of the Interest Rate). Any such audit may cover all prior monthly Draw Requests that have not been the subject of a prior audit (unless it shall be necessary, in the reasonable judgment of the auditor, in order to understand and evaluate the particular transactions or payments that are the subject of the audit in question, to review transactions or payments which were the subject of any prior audit); provided, that no such audit may be commenced after the outside date for audits set forth in Section 13.03. PE Member shall deliver (which may be by Email Notice) a report of its findings (in each audit) to Developer not later than ten (10) Business Days after it concludes each such audit and such findings are finalized.
(f) Developer and PE Member shall consult in good faith to resolve any matter in dispute raised in any audit conducted by PE Member as provided in paragraph (a) above within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to Developer of such audit report. If Developer and PE Member cannot resolve a particular dispute (with respect to any matter raised in such audit report) within such ten (10) Business Day period, the dispute shall be submitted to Arbitration pursuant to the provisions of Article 14. In no event shall a dispute prevent or delay Draw Requests from being processed and paid, subject in all events to the satisfaction of all conditions applicable thereto.
(g) If any amounts paid are ultimately determined to have been improperly charged to PE Member as PE Member Additional Development Costs, then PE Member Additional Development Costs will be appropriately reduced and credited with interest at the Interest Rate from the date payment on account of such Project Costs was made through the date such credit is applied to the next Draw Request or such amount is repaid (provided, that in the event an audit reflects an overcharge in excess of three percent (3%), as described in Section 4.03(a), then interest on the portion of the overcharge that exceeds three percent (3%) shall be at the Default Rate in lieu of the Interest Rate).
(h) Nothing herein shall prevent PE Member from conducting an inspection of all books and records of the LLC, Developer, its subsidiaries, the Executive Construction Manager or the Construction Manager to the extent relating to PE Member Additional Development Costs for purposes of the final accounting pursuant to Section 13.03.
Section 4.04 Books and Records. Developer shall maintain electronic copies of all Draw Requests, invoices and other documentation (electronic or otherwise) as shall be necessary to establish and verify the Project Costs for a period of seven (7) years following the date on which Final Completion occurs (or, if later, such date on which the Subway Entrance is completed in accordance with this Agreement); provided, that such maintenance shall give PE Member no additional rights or time periods for audit and provided further that, if PE Member requests (at any time prior to the expiration of such seven (7) year period) that Developer deliver to PE Member (at PE Member’s sole cost and expense) copies of all such Draw Requests, invoices and other documentation, then Developer shall deliver all such materials to PE Member.

(f) In connection with all aspects of the Project, Developer shall comply, and shall use Best Efforts to cause the Project Architect and any Developer’s Consultants (and any architects, engineers, consultants or advisors engaged by or on behalf of Destination Retail Tenant) to comply, with all Environmental Laws, and shall take all such actions with respect to the Project which may be required by any Government Entity to comply with any such Environmental Laws.
(g) Developer shall indemnify, defend, reimburse, and hold harmless PE Member, and each of the PE Indemnitees, from and against any and all costs and claims (i) relating to any alleged violation or contravention of any Environmental Laws by Developer or any of its Affiliates or any of Developer’s Consultants with respect to the Land, the ERY, the Developer Work or any Finish Work performed by or on behalf of Developer or any of its Affiliates, and (ii) in connection with any remediation or cleanup of the Land or the ERY required by Environmental Laws resulting from the acts or omissions of any Person; except, in each case, to the extent such losses, claims or costs result from PE Member’s, PE’s Consultants’ or any of the PE Indemnitees’ carrying out of any PE Finish Work. The provisions of this Section 4.05(c) and the obligations of Developer hereunder shall survive the PE Unit Closing and the termination of this Agreement; provided, that Developer shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Section 4.05(c) (other than for then existing claims hereunder) from and after both of the following occur: (x) the third (3rd) anniversary of the date on which Final Completion is achieved (or, if later, such date on which the Subway Entrance is completed in accordance with this Agreement), as agreed to by Developer and PE Member or, in the absence of such agreement, as determined by Arbitration as provided in this Agreement, and (y) the delivery by Developer to PE Member of a current Phase I environmental site assessment (and, if applicable, a current Phase II environmental assessment) for the Property, dated on or about the date referred to in clause (x) above, prepared consistent with ASTM Practice E 1527 that does not identify any recognized environmental conditions that require further investigation or remediation. Nothing contained in this Section 4.05(c) is intended to limit PE Member’s rights against any other Person.
(h) PE Member shall indemnify, defend, reimburse, and hold harmless Developer, and each of the Developer Indemnitees, from and against any and all costs and claims relating to any alleged violation or contravention of any Environmental Laws by PE Member or any of PE’s Consultants with respect to their performance of the PE Finish Work; except, in each case, to the extent such losses, claims or costs (i) are caused by Developer or any of the Developer Indemnitees, (ii) result from Developer or Developer’s Consultants carrying out of any Developer Work or any work performed in the Destination Retail Building (other than by PE Member or its Affiliates) or (iii) result from the Finish Work of any Other Member. The provisions of this Section 4.05(d) and the obligations of PE Member hereunder shall survive the PE Unit Closing; provided, that PE Member shall have no further obligations or liabilities under this Section 4.05(d) (other than for then existing claims hereunder) from and after the third (3rd) anniversary of the date on which both Delivery Blocks have been delivered to PE Member in Delivery Condition.
(e) Developer represents and warrants to PE Member that, to its knowledge, Developer is in compliance with its obligations pursuant to Article 9 of the Construction Agreement.

(l) Developer shall give PE Member (for PE Member’s review) monthly updates of the Schedule and monthly “look-aheads” with respect to the Schedule (or on such other more frequent basis as any such updates are prepared and issued by the Executive Construction Manager or Developer).
(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no progress update or amendment to the Schedule shall be deemed to extend, modify or amend the Outside Delivery Date or the Outside Substantial Completion Date or affect PE Member’s rights under Section 6.03 or Section 11.04 (except to the extent by reason of ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as provided in the definitions thereof).
Section 6.02 ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
(d) With respect to any claim of PE Work Delay pursuant to this Agreement, if Developer fails to notify PE Member in writing (which may be by Email Notice) of any delay that could become a PE Work Delay within five (5) Business Days after Developer becomes aware of such delay, then such delay shall not be deemed to be a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ unless and until such notice is delivered, and if such notice is delivered after such five (5) Business Day period has expired, only the delay (if any) occurring from and after delivery of such notice shall constitute ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
(e) If Developer or PE Member believes that any ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or any delay which may result in a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇) might be mitigated by the expenditure of additional funds, including for additional labor or performance of overtime work, Developer or PE Member, as applicable, may give notice thereof to the other party setting forth in reasonable detail Developer’s or PE Member’s, as applicable, proposed plan of mitigation (any such proposed plan, a “Proposed ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mitigation Plan”). In addition, if requested by PE Member, Developer shall endeavor to propose a Proposed ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mitigation Plan that, in Developer’s reasonable judgment, might mitigate the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ in question. With respect to any Proposed ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mitigation Plan proposed by Developer and approved by PE Member, or proposed by PE Member and approved by Developer (which approval in each case shall not be unreasonably withheld), Developer shall promptly notify PE Member of Developer’s estimate of the cost, including the amount of additional labor or overtime work required to implement any such mitigation plan (such notice, a “Proposed ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mitigation Estimate”). If, within ten (10) days after delivery to PE Member of such Proposed ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mitigation Estimate, PE Member delivers notice that PE Member elects to proceed with such Proposed ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mitigation Plan, then Developer shall proceed to implement such Proposed ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mitigation Plan (to the extent such labor is available and to the extent overtime work is permitted by applicable Laws). Any actual costs arising from implementation of such Proposed ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mitigation Plan that PE Member elects to pursue (including costs that exceed Developer’s estimate) shall be PE Member Additional Development Costs, and PE Member may not require Developer to apply funds from any contingency reserve for the Project to pay such costs. The implementation of such Proposed ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Mitigation Plan shall not affect the existence of such ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ to the extent such delay is not mitigated, reduced or eliminated. Any calculation of ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ shall be made on a net basis taking into account actual time savings, if any, resulting from any acts of PE Member, PE’s Architect, PE’s Consultants or any of such parties’ agents, employees or contractors, or resulting from any mitigation efforts taken by Developer or Developer’s Consultants.
(f) For all purposes of this Agreement, concurrent PE Delays shall be counted only once, as a single period of delay.

(i) Developer shall use Best Efforts to deliver to PE Member each Delivery Block in Delivery Condition on or prior to the Estimated Delivery Date for such Delivery Block in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.02; provided, however, Developer shall have no liability to PE Member for failure to timely delivery any Delivery Block other than (i) the liability (if any) under Section 6.03(b) below for failure to deliver both Delivery Blocks on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date, (ii) any Developer liability for Specified Finish Work Costs under Section 6.03(h), and (iii) the obligations of Developer under Section 11.04 (if any). Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.03 and Section 9.02 with respect to Delivery Condition, the parties agree that the delivery to, and acceptance by, PE Member of any Delivery Block shall constitute an acknowledgement that such Delivery Block, or such floor or floors, as applicable, was or were in Delivery Condition (subject to any DC Punch List Work) at the date of such acceptance.
(j) If (1) Developer fails to (x) cause the Delivery Date for both Delivery Blocks to occur on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date or (y) cause Substantial Completion to occur on or prior to the Outside Substantial Completion Date (the occurrence of either (x) or (y), a “Holdover Cost Trigger Event” and the applicable deadline for each such Holdover Cost Trigger Event as set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) or (y), a “Holdover Cost Trigger Date”), and (2) PE Member and/or its Affiliates are actually delayed in completing the PE Finish Work and moving into the PE Unit for the normal conduct of their business in the ordinary course on or prior to the Occupancy Date (assuming PE Member complies with its obligations under Section 6.03(c)), Developer shall pay to, or as directed by, PE Member, from time to time, Holdover Costs in accordance with this Section 6.03(b). The express liability of Developer for Holdover Costs under this Section 6.03(b) shall be PE Member’s sole remedy against Developer with respect to Developer’s failure to cause the Holdover Cost Trigger Events to occur on or prior to the applicable Holdover Cost Trigger Date; provided, that the foregoing shall not reduce Developer’s obligation to pay costs payable by Developer pursuant to Section 6.03(c) or Section 6.03(h), and shall not reduce PE Member’s rights pursuant to Section 10.02(d) or affect PE Member’s rights under Section 11.04. If a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ occurs after Holdover Costs have commenced to accrue, to the extent such ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ actually delays achievement of a Holdover Cost Trigger Event giving rise to such Holdover Costs, then such Holdover Costs shall be suspended during the period of any such actual delay caused by ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. All such payments shall be made by Developer within ten (10) days after demand therefor, accompanied by reasonably satisfactory evidence of the amount so due and the due date thereof (which shall be no earlier than five (5) days prior to the date when such funds are due to the applicable landlord under the applicable Existing Lease or any Additional Lease or Temporary Space Agreement) (and any such payments not timely made by Developer shall incur interest at the Default Rate from the date due until the date such payment is made). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the provisions of Section 6.03(b)(i) below), it is expressly understood and agreed that if any Holdover Cost Trigger Event does not occur on or prior to the applicable Holdover Cost Trigger Date, then Developer’s aggregate liability for Holdover Costs shall not exceed the amount of Holdover Costs attributable to the period (“Holdover Delay Period”) commencing on the Occupancy Date and continuing for the number of days between the applicable Holdover Cost Trigger Date and the applicable Holdover Cost Satisfaction Date (provided that, if under the applicable Existing Lease, Additional Lease or Temporary Space Agreement holdover rent may not be determined on a per diem basis, such period shall extend to the end of the month in which the Holdover Satisfaction Date occurs); provided, further, that if more than one Holdover Cost Trigger Event does not occur by the applicable Holdover Cost Trigger Date, then Developer shall be solely liable for Holdover Costs for the longest Holdover Delay Period applicable to any such Holdover Cost Trigger Events. For example, if there is a 30 day Holdover Delay Period with respect to the first Holdover Cost Trigger Date (i.e., the Holdover Cost Satisfaction Date for the first Holdover Cost Trigger Event is 30 days after the Holdover Cost Trigger Date applicable to such Holdover Cost Trigger Event) and a 15 day Holdover Delay Period with respect to the second Holdover Cost Trigger Date, then Developer’s liability for Holdover Costs on account of failing to cause both the first and second Holdover Cost Trigger Events to occur on or prior to their respective Holdover Cost Trigger Dates shall be 30 days in the aggregate. For purposes of the foregoing, the “Holdover Cost Satisfaction Date” means (1) in the case of a Holdover Cost Trigger Date resulting from the failure to cause delivery of both Delivery Blocks on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date, the date on which both Delivery Blocks have been delivered in Delivery Condition (or, if a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ occurs after the Outside Delivery Date, the date that such Delivery Block would have been delivered in Delivery Condition if such ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ had not occurred) and (2) in the case of a Holdover Cost Trigger Date resulting from the failure to cause Substantial Completion to occur on or prior to the Outside Substantial Completion Date, the date on which Substantial Completion occurs (or, if a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ occurs after the Outside Substantial Completion Date, the date that Substantial Completion would have occurred if such ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ had not occurred).
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Holdover Delay Period has commenced and the applicable Holdover Cost Satisfaction Date has not occurred prior to the Rescission Open Date, the Holdover Delay Period shall also include (in addition to the period from the Occupancy Date through the Rescission Open Date) the period from and after the Rescission Open Date and continuing until the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which the applicable Holdover Cost Satisfaction Date occurs (or, if a ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ occurs after the Rescission Open Date, the date that the Holdover Cost Satisfaction Date would have occurred if such ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ had not occurred) and (ii) the Rescission Effective Date (if any); provided, however, if (x) the Holdover Cost Satisfaction Date has not occurred as of the one (1) year anniversary of the Rescission Open Date and (y) the failure of the Holdover Cost Satisfaction Date to occur is not the result of (I) a material breach by Developer (which, if PE Member has knowledge of the same, continues beyond a reasonable cure period) or (II) a breach by Developer of this Agreement for the purposes of selling or leasing the PE Unit to another purchaser or tenant, then, at any time from and after the one (1) year anniversary of the Rescission Open Date, Developer may elect to terminate its obligation to pay Holdover Costs by giving Notice of such election to PE Member (such Notice, a “Holdover Termination Notice”), in which case the Holdover Delay Period shall be deemed to have concluded on the date that is the earlier to occur of (1) the date that is twelve (12) months following the delivery the Holdover Termination Notice to PE Member (such date, the “Holdover Termination Date”) or (2) the Holdover Cost Satisfaction Date.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.03(b), if Developer fails to cause a Holdover Cost Trigger Event to occur on or prior to the applicable Holdover Cost Trigger Date and PE Member and/or its Affiliates are actually delayed in completing the PE Finish Work and moving into the PE Unit for the normal conduct of their business in the ordinary course on or prior to the Occupancy Date, then Developer shall not be liable for Holdover Costs under this Section 6.03(b) in respect of such failure to cause such Holdover Cost Trigger Event to occur on or prior to the applicable Holdover Cost Trigger Date to the extent that (A) Developer is able to prove that the failure of PE Member and/or its Affiliates to complete the PE Finish Work or move into the PE Unit was caused by the failure of PE Member to prosecute the PE Finish Work and move into the PE Unit with reasonable diligence and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.03(c) following the relevant Delivery Date (taking into account any applicable constraints imposed by the Site Logistics Procedures and applicable Law), including, without limitation, as a result of any Force Majeure event affecting such prosecution by PE Member of the PE Finish Work or such moving into the PE Unit following the Delivery Date and (B) Developer notifies PE Member that it intends to assert the foregoing defense prior to the date on which PE Member commences payment of holdover rent under the applicable Existing Lease, Additional Lease or Temporary Space Agreement.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that Developer is obligated to pay Holdover Costs to PE Member during a Holdover Delay Period, then PE Member shall be responsible for, and Developer shall receive a credit against such Holdover Costs for, the amount of Construction Loan interest allocable to the PE Unit during the Holdover Delay Period. Any amounts payable by PE Member on account of Construction Loan interest pursuant to this Section 6.03(b)(iii) shall constitute PE Member Additional Development Costs.
(k) PE Member shall (and shall cause each Existing Lease Tenant, Additional Lease Tenant and Affiliates of PE Member to) promptly commence the PE Finish Work with respect to any Delivery Block upon delivery to PE Member of such Delivery Block in Delivery Condition and use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently prosecute completion of the PE Finish Work and to move all personnel and property out of the applicable Existing Space and into the portion of the PE Unit to which such personnel and property are intended to be relocated as soon as commercially practicable after completion of the PE Finish Work in such space. The parties acknowledge and agree that PE Member shall have no obligation to move personnel, or commence any move, into such space until Substantial Completion has been achieved and PE Finish Work has been substantially completed. If Developer believes in good faith that any delay in completion of the PE Finish Work or delay in the occupancy of the PE Unit by PE Member and its Affiliates for the normal conduct of their business in the ordinary course resulting from (x) the failure of the Delivery Date for both Delivery Blocks to occur on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date, or (y) the failure to achieve Substantial Completion on or prior to the Outside Substantial Completion Date, in either case might be mitigated, or that any Holdover Costs may otherwise be minimized, in either case by the expenditure of additional money, by the performance of overtime work, or by other reasonable means, then Developer may give notice thereof to PE Member setting forth in reasonable detail Developer’s proposed plan of mitigation. If any such plan of mitigation is approved by PE Member (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), PE Member shall cause its Affiliates and PE’s Consultants and contractors to implement the plan and Developer shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of implementing such plan of mitigation (other than costs attributable to ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇). All such payments shall be made by Developer within ten (10) days after demand therefor, accompanied by reasonably satisfactory evidence of the amount so due and any such costs incurred by PE Member and not timely paid by Developer to PE Member shall incur interest at the Default Rate from the date paid by PE Member until the date reimbursed by Developer. The performance of any such mitigation work (including, without limitation, the payment of additional money by Developer or the performance of overtime work at Developer’s sole cost and expense) shall not affect any of Developer’s obligations to PE Member with respect to such delay (except to the extent any such delay is actually mitigated or eliminated).
(l) PE Member shall deliver to Developer a certificate (the “Existing Lease Disclosure Certificate”), dated as of the date hereof and duly executed by an officer of PE Member, certifying that PE Member has delivered to Developer true, correct and complete copies of the Existing Leases, that except as set forth in such certificate the Existing Leases have not been amended, modified or supplemented, and that the facts set forth with respect to each Existing Lease in such certificate are true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof. To the extent PE Member delivers to Developer estoppel certificates from the landlords under one or more Existing Leases certifying with respect to the facts represented by PE Member in the Existing Lease Disclosure Certificate, which estoppel certificates state that they may be relied upon by Developer and its Affiliates and otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Developer (each, an “Existing Lease Estoppel”), then PE Member shall have no further liability under this Section 6.03(d) or the Existing Lease Disclosure Certificate with respect to each Existing Lease as to which an Existing Lease Estoppel is delivered, but only to the extent the applicable Existing Lease Estoppel confirms the applicable representations made by PE Member in the Existing Lease Disclosure Certificate. To the extent the same is then available to PE Member, PE Member shall provide to Developer, for Developer’s information only, simultaneously with delivery of PE Member’s schedule for the PE Finish Work, a schedule of PE Member’s move-in plans or PE Member’s reasonable estimate thereof, including anticipated move-in dates and indication of the Existing Space from which Existing Lease Tenants or PE Member Affiliates are moving and their intended location within the PE Unit; it being understood that provision of such schedule of PE Member’s move-in plans or PE Member’s reasonable estimate thereof does not constitute a representation by PE Member and shall be subject to modification by PE Member, in its sole discretion, from time to time.
(m) (i) PE Member shall consult with Developer concerning potential Existing Lease Extensions and Additional Lease Extensions, the term of such extension and strategies for managing potential disputes with landlords pertaining to a Holdover and/or the amount of Holdover Costs (but shall not be required to accept any recommendations made by Developer).
(ii) PE Member shall keep Developer apprised of any negotiations PE Member or its Affiliates may have with respect to any Existing Lease or Additional Lease, and PE Member shall not permit any Existing Lease Extension or Additional Lease Extension to be effectuated after the date hereof in a manner that (x) accelerates the expiration date under such Existing Lease or Additional Lease, (y) increases the Total Rent payable under such Existing Lease or Additional Lease from and after the Existing Lease Expiration Date, or in any way establishes the amount of holdover rent that may be applicable in the event of a Holdover (including by acknowledging the fair market rental value or “use and occupancy” charges of any Existing Space or Additional Space), or (z) otherwise results in an increase in the Holdover Costs that might arise as a result of a Holdover, in each case, without Developer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and Developer shall not be liable pursuant to this Section 6.03 for any increase in Holdover Costs resulting from any such amendment entered into without Developer’s consent. PE Member shall deliver any proposed Existing Lease Extension or Additional Lease Extension which requires Developer’s consent under clauses (x), (y) or (z) above to Developer (which may be in the form of an Email Notice) and Developer shall have five (5) Business Days to respond. If Developer fails to respond within such five (5) Business Day period(s), PE Member may send a Notice to Developer (which may be in the form of an Email Notice), which notice shall conspicuously indicate “REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF [EXISTING LEASE EXTENSION/ADDITIONAL LEASE EXTENSION]; FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS MAY RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.03(e) OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT,” and if Developer does not respond or object to such Notice within such three (3) Business Day period, then such Existing Lease Extension or Additional Lease Extension shall be deemed approved by Developer.
(n) PE Member shall deliver to Developer, promptly following execution thereof, true and correct copies of any Additional Lease it enters and any amendment it enters into with respect to any Existing Lease or Additional Lease.
(o) PE Member shall deliver to Developer, promptly following receipt thereof, copies of any written notices received from any landlord (or from its counsel, property manager or agent) under any of the Existing Leases with respect to the impending expiration of an Existing Lease, under any of the Additional Leases with respect to the impending expiration of an Additional Lease or with respect to any actual or threatened claim that is reasonably likely to give rise to Holdover Costs (“Landlord Claim”). If the entire amount of any costs, penalties or damages under an Existing Lease will constitute Holdover Costs to be paid by Developer pursuant to this Section 6.03, then Developer shall have the sole right to defend or settle any such Landlord Claim, provided, that Developer bears all legal fees and expenses incurred by Developer or its Affiliates (and the legal fees and expenses incurred by PE Member and its Affiliates to the extent expressly set forth in this clause (j) below) in connection with such settlement, such settlement does not result in PE Member (or its Affiliates) incurring any liability with respect to holdover costs, penalties, damages and the landlord under such Existing Lease or Additional Lease executes and delivers a release to PE Member and/or the applicable Affiliates solely with respect to such holdover costs, penalties or damages, which release shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to PE Member. PE Member shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Landlord Claim with counsel selected by it (subject to Developer’s right to control the defense thereof). The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of PE Member, provided, that if Developer fails to undertake the defense of any Landlord Claim, or if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to PE Member, there exists a conflict of interest between Developer and PE Member that cannot be waived, Developer shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to PE Member in defending the Landlord Claim. PE Member shall cooperate in all commercially reasonable respects in connection with such defense and PE Member shall have no right to settle such claim without Developer’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If only a portion of such holdover costs, penalties or damages under an Existing Lease will constitute Holdover Costs to be paid by Developer pursuant to this Section 6.03, then the parties shall cooperate in the defense of the claim, and neither party will have the right to settle the claim without the prior written approval of the other, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(p) Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.03, if Developer fails to obtain a Core & Shell TCO on or prior to date on which the Delivery Blocks have been delivered to PE Member in Delivery Condition, then Developer shall be responsible for (and shall pay to PE Member) any actual increase in the Specified Finish Work Costs actually caused by the failure to have a Core & Shell TCO and actually incurred by PE Member during the period from and after delivery of the Delivery Blocks to PE Member until a Core & Shell TCO is obtained. As used herein, “Specified Finish Work Costs” means any (i) “standby labor” costs, (ii) costs to provide temporary HVAC or electricity, (iii) costs of vertical transportation, (iv) costs to open the job site beyond normal business for purposes of construction and (v) the costs of maintaining any temporary restrooms that would not have been required to be maintained had a Core & Shell TCO been obtained. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall obligate Developer to deliver the Delivery Blocks to PE Member prior to the Outside Delivery Date if a Core & Shell TCO has not been obtained, notwithstanding that the Delivery Blocks may then be in Delivery Condition; provided, at the request of PE Member, Developer shall deliver the Delivery Blocks (to the extent then in Delivery Condition) prior to the Outside Delivery Date even though a Core & Shell TCO has not been obtained, in which case Developer shall not be liable for any increased Specified Finish Work Costs incurred by PE Member in performing its Finish Work during the period from and after such delivery of the Delivery Blocks until the Outside Delivery Date.
(q) Time is of the essence with respect to Developer’s obligation to cause the Holdover Cost Trigger Events to occur on or prior to the applicable Holdover Cost Trigger Date.
Section 6.04 Automatic Termination.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, in connection with the exercise of remedies by Construction Lender under the Construction Loan Documents, the Construction Lender or its designee takes title to the Property prior to the PE Unit Closing (by foreclosure, or deed-in-lieu, appointment or receiver or otherwise) or takes control of the Tower A Tenant prior to the PE Unit Closing (the date on which Construction Lender, its designee or any third party takes title to the Property or control of Tower A Tenant, a “Lender Transfer Date”), then Construction Lender or such designee shall have the right to cause an Qualified Developer to assume the obligations of Developer under this Agreement by delivering to PE Member, within 120 days following the Lender Transfer Date (the date that is 120 days following the Lender Transfer Date, the “Lender Election Date”), written notice of Construction Lender’s election to cause an Qualified Developer to assume the obligations of Developer hereunder (an “Assumption Notice”) accompanied by a written agreement and undertaking by such Qualified Developer to assume such obligations of Developer in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.04 (an “Assumption Agreement”); provided, however, that such Qualified Developer shall not be required to assume (i) the obligations of Developer under Sections 3.10(a), 3.10(b), 6.03(b), and 12.03(c) hereof, (ii) the obligation of Developer to pay the Rescission Payment under Section 11.04 hereof (provided, that, PE Member shall continue to have the right to exercise the Rescission Election in accordance with the terms thereof), or (iii) any liability of Developer under Section 10.02 with respect to Developer Defaults occurring prior to the Lender Transfer Date. If Construction Lender delivers such Assumption Notice and such Assumption Agreement (duly executed by an Qualified Developer) to PE Member on or prior to the Lender Election Date, then this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and PE Member shall recognize the performance by such Qualified Developer of the obligations of Developer under this Agreement and shall continue to be obligated to perform its obligations hereunder subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such assumption by an Qualified Developer shall affect or limit (A) the rights of PE Member against Developer under Section 6.03(b), (B) the right of PE Member to exercise the Rescission Election under Section 11.04 or the obligation of Developer to pay the Rescission Payment in accordance with Section 11.04, (C) the rights and remedies of PE Member against Developer under Section 10.02 with respect to any Developer Default occurring prior to the Lender Transfer Date or (D) the rights of PE Member against Related/Oxford Guarantor under the Building Completion Guaranty. Subject to the terms of the PE Unit Lender Agreement (and the rights of PE Member thereunder), if Construction Lender does not deliver such Assumption Notice and such Assumption Agreement (duly executed by an Qualified Developer) on or prior to the Lender Election Date, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect on the Lender Election Date (except for those provisions which, pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.19 or otherwise expressly survive such termination); provided, that any such termination shall not affect the rights of PE Member against Related/Oxford Guarantor under the Building Completion Guaranty or any obligations of Related/Oxford Guarantor under the Building Completion Guaranty
(f) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if (a) the MTA terminates the A/B Balance Lease or, if then executed, the Tower A Lease, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect on such date (except for those provisions which, pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.19 or otherwise expressly survive such termination); provided, that any such termination shall not affect the rights of PE Member against Related/Oxford Guarantor under the Building Completion Guaranty or any obligations of Related/Oxford Guarantor under the Building Completion Guaranty; provided, further, if, upon the termination of the A/B Balance Lease or, if then executed, the Tower A Lease, Construction Lender or its designee obtains a new lease with the MTA with respect to the premises demised thereunder pursuant to the mortgagee protection provisions in such lease, then the date on which Lender or its designees enters into any such new lease with the MTA shall be treated as a Lender Transfer Date for purposes of Section 6.04(a) above, and Construction Lender or such designee shall have the right to cause an Qualified Developer to assume the obligations of Developer under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.04(a) above.
Section 6.05 Survival. The provisions of this Article 6 shall survive the PE Unit Closing and any termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 7
SUBGUARD; DEVELOPER’S INSURANCE
SUBGUARD; DEVELOPER’S INSURANCE
Section 7.01 Subguard.
(g) Developer shall obtain and maintain “subguard insurance” (or an equivalent policy) (the “Subguard Policy”) in a form and issued by a company (the “Subguard Insurer”) selected by Developer for the benefit of the LLC, Tower A Tenant and Destination Retail Tenant with respect to the Project.
(h) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 7.01(a), Developer may, in lieu of obtaining and maintaining a Subguard Policy, obtain or cause to be obtained (i) dual obligee payment and performance bonds for all trade contracts relating to the Developer Work with a contract amount in excess of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), which dual obligee payment and performance bonds shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto with a surety company selected by Developer and licensed to do business in the State of New York, as surety, and with, inter alia, the Executive Construction Manager, Developer, the LLC, Tower A Tenant, PE Member and the Construction Lender as dual obligees (or the Destination Retail Tenant, the DRB ECM and DRB Construction Lenders, in the case of the Destination Retail Building), and (ii) a guaranty in favor of, inter alia, the Executive Construction Manager, Developer, the LLC, Tower A Tenant, and PE Member (or Destination Retail Tenant, in the case of the Destination Retail Building), from the creditworthy parent entity of Construction Manager (or DRB CM, as applicable) with respect to any work that is “self-performed” by Construction Manager (or DRB CM, as applicable) or any Affiliate thereof.
Section 7.02 Insurance Coverages.
(r) Developer and/or the Executive Construction Manager shall cause to be maintained (from Commencement of Construction through Substantial Completion and completion of all Punch List Work or such later date on which the Condominium is required to obtain property and liability insurance pursuant to the Condominium Documents) the insurance coverages listed and described in the Insurance Coverage Specifications, naming the parties described in the Insurance Coverage Specifications as named or additional insureds, as applicable.
(s) Developer shall maintain in full force and effect the OCIP “Wrap-Up” liability insurance policy which is currently in effect until Substantial Completion and completion of Punch List Work (or such later date on which the Condominium is required to obtain property and liability insurance pursuant to the Condominium Documents). The OCIP Wrap-Up policy shall be limited to the activities that are performed on the ERY site and shall be implemented on or prior to the Commencement of Construction. PE Member and each PE Guarantor shall be named insured for any policies issued under the OCIP “Wrap-Up.” Developer shall use Best Efforts to cause the Project Architect to maintain in full force and effect the errors and omissions policies which are currently in effect until the work described in clause (a) of the definition of Developer Work is completed.
(t) With respect to all insurance policies maintained by Developer as required hereunder, Developer shall (i) provide PE Member with a copy of the lead policy form that all underwriters have agreed to and (ii) provide PE Member with insurance certificates evidencing such insurance policies.
(u) Each insurance policy provided under Sections 7.02(a), (b) or (c) above shall provide that it will not expire or terminate or be cancelled without, in each case, the insurer’s providing to PE Member at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such expiration, termination or cancellation.
(v) During the performance of any PE Finish Work or other work within the PE Unit by PE Member, PE Member shall comply with the insurance requirements set forth in the Operating Agreement.
(w) The costs of the insurance described in Section 7.01 and 7.02 shall be included in Project Costs.
ARTICLE 8
PE FINISH WORK; SITE LOGISTICS
PE FINISH WORK; SITE LOGISTICS
Section 8.01 Design of PE Finish Work.
(x) PE Member shall design the PE Finish Work, at PE Member’s expense, and shall consult with Developer on an on-going basis in order to facilitate proper coordination of the design of the PE Finish Work with the design and construction of the PE Unit and the rest of the Building. PE Member has delivered (or will deliver) to Developer for information purposes only a preliminary schedule for design and construction of the PE Finish Work and shall periodically update such schedule. PE Member shall deliver design development documents and final construction documents showing the PE Finish Work when available. To the extent any PE Finish Work requires the prior consent of the Construction Lender pursuant to the terms of the Construction Loan Documents, the performance of such work shall be subject to Construction Lender’s consent and Developer shall promptly seek, or shall cause Tower A Tenant to promptly seek, Construction Lender’s consent and shall reasonably cooperate with PE Member and use Best Efforts to obtain such consents.
(y) Developer will have the right to review plans for the PE Finish Work and may submit comments to PE Member with respect to PE Finish Work plans (it being understood and agreed by Developer and PE Member that, except as set forth in the immediately following sentence, Developer’s review of such plans is for informational purposes only and PE Member may disregard any such comments). Developer may disapprove (provided, that Developer shall not unreasonably disapprove same) any design feature in a plan or design relating to the PE Finish Work only if the design feature or element (i) violates the MTA Project Documents or applicable Laws, (ii) is structurally or mechanically incompatible with any aspect of the Building as shown on the Plans or as built, or the Platform, (iii) would require changes in the Building as shown on the Plans or as built, or in the Platform design, to accommodate such design feature (it being understood that Developer’s right to disapprove any such change and the design for the PE Finish Work shall, in such instance, be governed by the provisions of Section 3.06, which provisions are incorporated herein by this reference), (iv) would increase the costs of construction of any portion of the Building including the PE Unit (unless, in the case of any such increased construction costs, PE Member funds such costs at such time through payments under (and subject to the provisions of) Section 4.03 of the Operating Agreement or otherwise) or would increase the costs of operation of any portion of the Building other than the PE Unit, (v) would delay completion of the Building or the Platform in accordance with the then current Schedule or delay completion of the Finish Work being performed by (or on behalf of) TW Member to the TW Unit, (vi) would cause the Floor Area of the PE Unit to exceed the PE Floor Area, (vii) relates to PE Dedicated First Floor Lobby or (viii) relates to the interior design of the PE Sky Lobby or the corridor within the PE Sky Lobby that is shared by PE Member with Other Members. In addition, Developer shall have the right to approve the water proofing details or acoustical systems, as applicable, for any floor of the PE Unit (or the Limited Common Elements or exclusive easement areas) that is immediately above or below a floor of any Other Unit, if the floor in the PE Unit is intended to be occupied for a use that will create an unreasonable risk of water leaks or unreasonable disturbance from noise or vibrations, as to which Developer’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. PE Member shall give advance Notice to Developer of any elements of PE Finish Work proposed to be installed on any floors of the PE Unit that create any unreasonable risk of water leaks, transmission of sound or vibrations or fire to floors below the PE Unit, and will incorporate reasonable protections with respect to such risks, consistent with the practices of Class A buildings in New York City.
(z) Developer shall approve or object to any plans for the PE Finish Work (to the extent Developer has the right to do so pursuant to Section 8.01(b)) within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to Developer of such plans and all additional information reasonably requested by Developer. If Developer gives comments or objections within such ten (10) Business Day period, Developer and PE Member shall consult in an effort to resolve any issues. PE Member shall furnish interpretations, explanations, and additional information if and as requested by Developer within the ten (10) Business Day period under this Section 8.01(c). Any consent granted by Developer to any plan submitted by PE Member which impacts the design or construction of the Base Building shall be deemed a representation by Developer that it has obtained (or has determined that it was not required to obtain) the prior consent of the Construction Lender to such plan, unless, together with the giving of its consent, Developer notifies PE Member that the consent of the Construction Lender to such plan is required and has not yet been obtained, in which case Developer shall promptly seek, and use Best Efforts to obtain, the consent of the Construction Lender and shall notify PE Member promptly if and when such consent is obtained or denied, and if denied, the reasons therefor.
(aa) If Developer does not respond or object to any plans for the PE Finish Work within ten (10) Business Days after delivery to Developer of such plan and all additional information reasonably requested by Developer, then Developer will be deemed to have approved such proposed change and the implementation thereof, provided, that with respect to any proposed change that would cause the Floor Area of the PE Unit to exceed the PE Floor Area, if Developer fails to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period, PE Member may send a second notice to Developer of such failure to respond and if Developer does not respond or object, in reasonable detail, to such second notice within five (5) days after PE Member has delivered same to Developer, then Developer will be deemed to have approved such proposed change. PE Member understands that any deemed consent by Developer as provided in this Section 8.01(d) shall not bind the Construction Lender (if its consent is required under the Construction Loan Documents). Developer agrees, however, that it shall seek and use Best Efforts to obtain the consent of the Construction Lender (to the extent such consent is required).
(bb) PE Member may not proceed to construct any aspect of the PE Finish Work which has been disapproved by Developer until the issue is resolved. Any dispute as to whether any matter is subject (or not) to the approval of Developer as set forth in Section 8.01(b) shall be submitted to Arbitration to be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.
(cc) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.03, Section 9.01 or Section 9.02, PE Member, PE’s Architect and PE’s Consultants (and any agent, representative or designee of the foregoing) shall have the right, but not the obligation, prior to satisfaction of the Delivery Condition, to enter any portion of the PE Unit between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and at all other times during which a hoist or any other vertical transportation is in operation at the Tower Building or Destination Retail Building, as applicable, for the purposes of inspecting, measuring and designing the same, subject to reasonable notice to Developer. Developer shall have the right to have its representatives present during such access.

Charges to PE Member for use of freight elevators and construction hoists as provided in this Section 8.03 shall constitute PE Member Additional Development Costs.
Section 8.04 Performance of PE Finish Work.
(a) Developer understands that PE Member may perform PE Finish Work both prior to and after the occurrence of Substantial Completion and the PE Unit Closing Date. PE Member understands that its contractors and subcontractors performing any PE Finish Work, whether prior to or after Substantial Completion or the PE Unit Closing Date and until Developer completes all of its work in the Building, will be subject to the direction and coordination of Developer and the Executive Construction Manager in accordance with the Site Logistics Procedures. PE Member shall comply with the Site Logistics Procedures, and shall repair any damage to the Building caused by PE Member or its contractors and subcontractors in the performance of any PE Finish Work. Developer shall comply with the Site Logistics Procedures, and shall repair any damage to the PE Finish Work, the PE Unit or any PE Areas caused by Developer or its contractors and subcontractors in the performance of any Developer Work.
(b) If (i) prior to the Substantial Completion Date, PE Member performs PE Finish Work with respect to any Delivery Block delivered in a manner that is not consistent with the Site Logistics Procedures, and such performance of PE Finish Work results in an actual delay in the occurrence of the Delivery Date for any Delivery Block on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date or the occurrence of Substantial Completion on or prior to the Outside Substantial Completion Date, (ii) PE Member fails to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or the Operating Agreement in connection with the performance of PE Finish Work and such failure results in an actual delay in the occurrence of the Delivery Date for any Delivery Block on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date or the occurrence of Substantial Completion on or prior to the Outside Substantial Completion Date, or (iii) PE’s Architect or PE’s Consultants act in a manner that is outside the scope of their engagement in connection with the Project and inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and such actions result in an actual delay in the occurrence of the Delivery Date for any Delivery Block on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date or the occurrence of Substantial Completion on or prior to the Outside Substantial Completion Date, then, in each case, such delay shall constitute “PE Work Delay”.
(c) Any Developer Work, Finish Work (including, without limitation, PE Finish Work), and other work on the Project shall be performed in a manner that does not (i) violate the Project Labor Agreement or any other union contracts affecting the Project, or (ii) create any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption or labor disharmony at the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties shall cooperate to implement procedures whereby PE Member may install certain PE Member-supplied equipment using labor forces that may not be members of a union that is party to the Project Labor Agreement, provided, the same do not create a work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption or labor disharmony, and at no additional cost to Developer or Other Members and provided further that the indemnification provisions of the Operating Agreement with respect to Finish Work shall apply with respect to the foregoing.

PE Member shall promptly cure and discharge all Violations arising from PE Finish Work and obtain all Sign Offs required in connection with PE Finish Work, in each case to the extent such Violations or the absence of such Sign Offs prevent or delay the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Building or any Other Units. If Developer notifies PE Member that PE Member is not timely removing Violations arising from PE Finish Work or has not obtained all such Sign Offs, and that such failure is preventing or delaying the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Building or any Other Units, and if PE Member fails within thirty (30) days following delivery of any such notice to commence to remove or cure such Violations and to prosecute such removal or cure with diligence, or to commence to obtain such Sign Offs and prosecute obtaining same with diligence, then Developer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to remove such Violations and/or pay the fine imposed in connection therewith, or to seek to obtain such Sign Offs. In such event, PE Member shall reimburse Developer for actual out-of-pocket costs of removing such Violation within fifteen (15) days of receiving an invoice therefor from Developer, together with reasonably satisfactory evidence of the amount of the expenditure. Any such costs incurred by Developer not timely paid by PE Member to Developer shall incur interest at the Default Rate from the date paid by Developer until the date reimbursed by PE Member.

INSPECTION RIGHTS DURING CONSTRUCTION; DELIVERY DATE, DELIVERY BLOCKS, DC PUNCH LIST; WARRANTIES; DEFECTIVE WORK
Section 9.01 Inspection by PE Member During Construction; On-Going Consultation. From and after the Severance Date, PE Member and its representatives and designees (including PE’s Consultants) will have the right, at PE Member’s expense, and on reasonable notice, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. and at all other times during which a hoist or any other vertical transportation is in operation at the Building, to inspect from time to time any construction work with respect to the Building being performed by (or on behalf of) the LLC, Tower A Tenant, Destination Retail Tenant or Developer if such work comprises or relates to the Developer Work (provided, that access to such areas may be subject to restrictions imposed by the MTA Parties). Inspection by PE Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.01 will not, however, be construed as acceptance, by PE Member, or PE Member’s representatives, of work which is defective, incomplete, or otherwise not in compliance with the Plans, or as a waiver by PE Member of any rights under this Agreement, or as a release by PE Member of Developer or any of Developer’s contractors or any surety from any warranty, guarantee, or obligation provided under this Agreement or the Plans or the applicable construction contract(s). Any inspection performed by PE Member or its representatives shall be performed in compliance with the site safety plan for the Building, and any inspection of below-platform mechanical areas shall be subject to the provisions of the MTA Project Documents and the MTA Severance Agreement. PE Member acknowledges that its rights of inspection hereunder shall give it no right to direct any portion of the work.
Section 9.02 Delivery Date; DC Punch List; Acceptance Procedure. Developer and PE Member agree that the following procedures shall apply to determine when the Delivery Date for each Delivery Block has been achieved:
(a) Developer shall give PE Member at least one hundred eighty (180) and then ninety (90) days’ prior notice of Developer’s good faith estimate of the Delivery Date for each Delivery Block (it being understood that such dates shall constitute estimates only and shall in no way affect the actual occurrence of the Delivery Date for such Delivery Block).
(b) With respect to each Delivery Block, Developer shall give PE Member a notice stating that Developer believes that the Delivery Date is, or is about to be, achieved, and setting forth a date, not less than ten (10) Business Days after the giving of such notice (such date, a “Walk-Through Date”), for the parties to conduct a joint walk through of such Delivery Block. On or prior to the Walk-Through Date, Developer shall deliver to PE Member (i) a proposed list of DC Punch List Work for the applicable Delivery Block (the “Proposed DC Punch List”), and (ii) the outside date(s) by which Developer expects each item or group of items listed on the Proposed DC Punch List to be completed (such dates being hereinafter referred to as the “DC Punch List Work Completion Dates”). On the Walk-Through Date, PE Member, PE’s Consultants, Developer and the Project Architect (and/or any agent, representative or other designee of the foregoing) shall conduct one or more inspection(s) of the applicable Delivery Block to confirm whether the Delivery Date has occurred with respect to such Delivery Block and, further (subject to Section 9.02(c)), to confirm the DC Punch List Work to be performed and the DC Punch List Work Completion Dates for the applicable DC Punch List Work. If PE Member concurs that the applicable Delivery Block (or full floors thereof) is in Delivery Condition, PE Member shall thereupon be deemed to have accepted delivery of such Delivery Block (or full floors thereof), subject to completion of any DC Punch List Work, any latent defects and any other defects, omissions, or failures in Delivery Condition not readily ascertainable by a visual inspection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if one or more whole (but not partial) floors within a Delivery Block are in Delivery Condition (but not the balance of such Delivery Block), PE Member shall accept delivery of such floor or floors (but not of the balance of such Delivery Block), provided that any such whole floors so delivered are the lowest floor or floors in the Delivery Block in question; provided, however, PE Member’s acceptance of delivery of any floor or floors constituting a portion of any Delivery Block shall not reduce or offset Developer’s obligation to deliver an entire Delivery Block in Delivery Condition nor in any way affect, reduce or limit any rights or remedies of PE Member set forth in this Agreement or otherwise with respect to any failure to deliver to PE Member the balance of such Delivery Block to PE Member on or prior to the Outside Delivery Date.
(c) If PE Member believes that the Delivery Date for the applicable Delivery Block has not yet occurred, or if PE Member objects to (or believes corrections or additions are required to be made to) the Proposed DC Punch List or the applicable DC Punch List Work Completion Date, PE Member shall give Developer notice (such notice, and each subsequent objection notice as contemplated in the further provisions of this Section 9.02(c), an “Exceptions Notice”), within ten (10) Business Days following PE Member’s inspection in accordance with Section 9.02(b), detailing (i) any conditions to delivery of such Delivery Block in Delivery Condition which PE Member asserts have yet to be satisfied, and/or (ii) any other revisions to the Proposed DC Punch List, and/or to the DC Punch List Work Completion Dates. Developer and PE Member shall cooperate and proceed expeditiously to confirm the Delivery Date, the list of DC Punch List Work and the DC Punch List Work Completion Dates, and shall perform such additional inspections of the Building as shall be required to confirm such date and lists.
(d) If Developer and PE Member are unable to agree on whether the applicable Delivery Block has been delivered to PE Member in Delivery Condition, the date on which such Delivery Block has been delivered to PE Member in Delivery Condition or on the DC Punch List for such Delivery Block (including the DC Punch List Work Completion Dates) within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery to Developer an Exceptions Notice, then either PE Member or Developer may submit the matters still in dispute to Arbitration, to be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.
(e) If the parties agree (or it is determined pursuant to Arbitration) that additional work is required in order to achieve the Delivery Date for such Delivery Block, Developer shall cause such work to be performed with due diligence, and the same procedure (including, without limitation, as to inspections and delivery of Exceptions Notices, and timing for delivery of Exceptions Notices) shall be repeated to the extent necessary until the parties agree upon, or an Arbiter has determined, (i) whether such Delivery Block has been delivered to PE Member in Delivery Condition, (ii) the Delivery Date for such Delivery Block, and (iii) the DC Punch List for such Delivery Block, provided, that subsequent inspections shall be performed at a mutually satisfactory time within five (5) Business Days following notice from Developer and any revised Exceptions Notice shall be delivered within five (5) Business Days after re-inspection.
(f) If PE Member fails to deliver an Exceptions Notice to Developer within the applicable period(s) referred to in Section 9.02(c), Developer may send notice to PE Member of such failure, which notice shall conspicuously indicate on the first page thereof in bold face print “REQUEST FOR EXCEPTIONS NOTICE: FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS MAY RESULT IN DEEMED APPROVAL PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.02(f) OF THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT”, then if PE Member does not respond or object, in reasonable detail, to such notice within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the same, then PE Member shall have waived its right to deliver an Exceptions Notice for such Delivery Block, the Delivery Date for such Delivery Block shall be deemed to have occurred and the Proposed DC Punch List (or the revised Proposed DC Punch List or revised DC Punch List Work Completion Dates, as the case may be) for such Delivery Block shall be deemed approved by PE Member and shall constitute the DC Punch List for such Delivery Block.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any agreement regarding Delivery Condition, and any resolution by Arbitration of any dispute regarding Delivery Condition or the Delivery Date, shall not preclude PE Member from asserting any claims for latent defects as and to the extent provided in Section 9.03(b).
(h) If the only matters in dispute regarding the occurrence of the Delivery Date for any Delivery Block are the DC Punch List Work Completion Dates, then, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Delivery Date for such Delivery Block will be deemed to have occurred, and in such event Developer shall complete the DC Punch List Work in accordance with the schedule determined by the parties or by Arbitration.
(i) The provisions of this Section 9.02 shall survive the PE Unit Closing and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.03 Contractor Warranties; Defective Work; Latent Defects.
(a) Developer agrees that it has or shall include, or cause to be included, in each hard cost contract which governs (in whole or in part) the performance of the Developer Work, warranty/guaranty provisions customary for the type or category of work involved for projects of similar scope and character as the Project that are assignable as contemplated herein (any such warranty/guaranty, a “Contractor Warranty”), under which the respective contractor will be required, at its (or their) expense, to repair, replace, and/or correct work which is incorrect, inadequate, defective, incomplete, omitted, or otherwise not in compliance with the applicable Plans and this Agreement (any such work, “Defective Work”) for such period as is customary for such type or category of work. Developer shall obtain the written agreement of each contractor that the Condominium shall be a third-party beneficiary of (and, in any event, a permitted assignee of), and may enforce directly, each Contractor Warranty as to any work performed in respect of the PE Areas or the Common Elements (Developer hereby agrees to ensure, or cause the Executive Construction Manager and the DRB ECM to ensure, that each such Condominium Warranty is severable and assignable (in whole or in part) and to assign, or cause the Executive Construction Manager or each contractor to assign, such warranties to the Condominium when the contractor completes its work in the Project, if later (any such assigned warranties, a “Condominium Warranty”)). Each Contractor Warranty that is not a Condominium Warranty shall be assigned to Tower A Tenant or the applicable Other Member (or Tower A Tenant or such Other Member shall be a third-party beneficiary thereunder and may enforce such Contractor Warranty with respect to work performed in respect of the Other Units). If a contractor raises ongoing claims with Developer, the LLC, Tower A Tenant, Destination Retail Tenant, any Member (other than PE Member), the owner of any Other Unit or any Destination Retail JV Member as a defense in any claim by PE Member for Defective Work against such contractor, then Developer will remain responsible to use Best Efforts to enforce the applicable Contractor Warranty in accordance with its terms and conditions so as to cause such contractor, at the contractor’s expense, to repair, replace, and/or correct such Defective Work, but Developer shall have no liability, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, for any failure of any contractor to repair, replace, or correct such Defective Work. Upon request by PE Member, Developer shall provide PE Member with copies of all Contractor Warranties relating to the PE Areas. Developer shall not waive any Contractor Warranty.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, in the course of performing PE Finish Work or at any other time, whether before or following the PE Unit Closing, PE Member discovers Defective Work in any Developer Work, the PE Areas or the Common Elements performed on behalf of Developer, Tower A Tenant, Destination Retail Tenant or the LLC, and if the Defective Work is covered by a Condominium Warranty, then, until such time as Developer both closes out the applicable contract and assigns the applicable Contractor Warranty to the Condominium Board, Developer shall use Best Efforts to enforce any applicable Condominium Warranty so as to cause the contractor to correct or replace the Defective Work. Any reasonable third party costs incurred in connection with enforcing warranties, as aforesaid shall constitute a Project Cost.
(c) The provisions of this Section 9.03 shall survive the PE Unit Closing and the termination of this Agreement.
Section 9.04 PE Member’s Right to Remove Developer Violations. Developer shall promptly cure and discharge all Developer Violations, in each case to the extent such Violations prevent or delay PE Member from obtaining the approvals required under applicable Laws, including, without limitation, any approvals required under applicable Laws for PE Member to lawfully use and occupy the PE Areas for the normal conduct of PE Member’s (and its Affiliates’) business in the ordinary course. Without limiting the provisions of Section 9.02, if PE Member notifies Developer that Developer is not timely removing Developer Violation(s) and that such failure is preventing or delaying PE Member from obtaining the approvals required under applicable Laws, including any approvals required under applicable Laws for PE Member to lawfully use and occupy the PE Areas for the normal conduct of PE Member’s (and its Affiliates’) business in the ordinary course, and if Developer fails within thirty (30) days following delivery of any such notice to commence to remove or cure the Developer Violation and to prosecute such removal or cure with diligence, then PE Member shall have the right (but not the obligation) to remove such Developer Violation or pay the fine imposed in connection therewith, but only to the extent such work can be performed exclusively within the PE Unit or within PE Member’s exclusive Common Elements or exclusive easement areas. In such event, Developer shall reimburse PE Member for the costs of removing such Violation (including payment of any fines) within fifteen (15) days of receiving an invoice therefor from PE Member. Any such costs incurred by PE Member not timely paid by Developer to PE Member shall incur interest at the Default Rate from the date paid by PE Member until the date reimbursed by Developer.

(j) PE Member shall be responsible for paying, as and when provided in and subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the Operating Agreement, the PE Member Total Development Cost. The parties agree that the PE Member is paying for the cost of the PE Unit through payment of the PE Member Total Development Cost, and the PE Member Total Development Cost represents the best estimate of the parties of the actual cost to perform the Developer Work, provided, if the actual cost thereof is less than the PE Member Total Development Cost, then as additional compensation to Developer for the performance of its obligations hereunder the PE Member shall pay to Developer the remainder of the PE Member Total Development Cost to Developer in accordance with the terms hereof, and if the actual cost thereof exceeds the PE Member Total Development Cost, then in consideration of PE Member’s agreement to include a portion of the DMA Development Fee as part of the PE Member Total Development Cost, Developer shall pay such excess. The foregoing sentence shall not in any way limit the obligations of the parties to make the payments specified in this Agreement or otherwise modify, increase, limit or affect the rights or obligations of the parties set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.

Section 10.02 Developer Default.
(d) Subject to Section 10.02(b), Developer shall be liable for all Professional Standard Default Liabilities, but only to the extent that such Professional Standard Default Liabilities exceed $250,000 in the aggregate (the “Floor”), and provided that Developer shall not be liable for any such Professional Standard Default Liabilities in excess of $1,500,000 in the aggregate (for all Professional Standard Default Liabilities) (the “Cap”). For all purposes under this Agreement and the Operating Agreement, if Developer, R/O Member, Destination Retail JV, Destination Retail Tenant, or the LLC receives any recoveries from insurance, consultants, contractors or other third parties with respect to any Professional Standard Default Claim, then any Professional Standard Default Liabilities that would otherwise have arisen from any such Professional Standard Default Claim shall be excluded to the extent of such recoveries in determining whether the Professional Standard Default Liabilities caused the Floor to be exceeded or the Cap to be reached. Except as expressly provided in this Section 10.02(a) (and subject in all cases to Section 10.02(b)), PE Member’s sole remedy with respect to any Developer Default (other than a Developer Misconduct Default) shall be to seek specific performance of the obligations of Developer under this Agreement and PE Member shall not be entitled to pursue or recover monetary damages from Developer on account of any Developer Default (other than a Developer Misconduct Default).

(iii) If Developer challenges or contests the availability or appropriateness of equitable relief or specific performance as the remedy for any Developer Default hereunder (whether such Developer Default constitutes a Professional Standard Default, Developer Misconduct Default or otherwise), then PE Member shall be entitled to pursue and recover all Losses arising from such Developer Default without regard to the provisions of Section 10.02(a)).
(iv) PE Member’s sole remedy with respect to any delay in the performance of Developer’s obligations under this Agreement relating to the design, construction, development, or completion of the Tower Building or the Developer Work shall be limited to (A) the right to require Developer to pay Holdover Costs and other amounts payable to PE Member by Developer as expressly set forth in Section 6.03 and (B) PE Member’s rights under Section 11.04 (and nothing contained in Section 10.02(a) shall limit Developer’s obligation to reimburse or pay any amount set forth in Section 6.03 or Section 11.04 or the right of PE Member to pursue a monetary claim in connection therewith).
(v) Nothing contained in Section 10.02(a) shall limit Developer’s obligation to reimburse or pay any amounts otherwise specifically required to be paid or reimbursed by Developer under this Agreement (or the right of PE Member to pursue a monetary claim in connection therewith), including obligations to refund any overpayments by PE Member hereunder or obligations to reimburse PE Member with respect to the exercise of any self-help rights contained herein, Developer’s liability for Claims under Section 17.02(b) or Developer’s indemnification obligations under Section 4.05.

(f) PE Member shall use Best Efforts to notify Developer of any Developer Default within no more than thirty (30) days following the date on which PE Member has knowledge of such Developer Default. In addition, at the PE Unit Closing, PE Member shall notify Developer whether it has actual knowledge of any Developer Default(s) as of such date. PE Member shall recognize any cure of a Developer Default(s), whether performed by Developer, the LLC, Destination Retail Tenant, R/O Member, the Related/Oxford Guarantor or the Construction Lender; provided, that such recognition shall not entitle Developer, the LLC, Destination Retail Tenant, R/O Member, the Related/Oxford Guarantor or Construction Lender to any notice or additional cure period with respect to any Developer Default. As used in this Agreement, the term “PE Member knows of” or “PE Member has knowledge of” any Developer Default shall mean solely the actual knowledge of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and any senior level project manager(s) responsible for the Project as shall be designated in writing (for the specific purpose of having “actual knowledge”, as provided in this Section 10.02(c)) by PE Member from time to time.
(g) Without limiting the foregoing, upon the removal of R/O Member as the managing member of the LLC as a result of any Management Change Event (as defined in the Operating Agreement), PE Member shall have the right, without prejudice to any other rights and remedies otherwise available to PE Member, to terminate this Agreement and Developer’s rights under this Agreement upon delivery of a termination notice to Developer and, in its capacity as a Non-Affiliated Member (as defined in the Operating Agreement) and subject to the provisions of the Operating Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5.04 thereof) to appoint or engage, or cause the LLC or Tower A Tenant to appoint or engage, an Approved Replacement Developer for the Project in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement and the Co-Construction Agreement; provided, that PE Member obtains all required consents required under, and otherwise subject to compliance with the applicable terms of, the Operating Agreement, Construction Loan Documents (or waiver thereof by the Construction Lender), Co-Construction Agreement and the MTA Project Documents (or the waiver thereof by the applicable counterparties) with respect to such termination and/or appointment of an Approved Replacement Developer. For the avoidance of doubt, PE Member shall not have the right to remove Developer as the developer for the Project or remove R/O Member as the managing member of the LLC or otherwise prevent Developer or R/O Member, as the case may be, from exercising their rights as developer of the Project or as managing member of the LLC, or terminate this Agreement, except for (a) in PE Member’s capacity as a Non-Affiliated Member (as defined in the Operating Agreement), the right to remove R/O Member as the managing member of the LLC, remove Developer as the developer for the Project and/or appoint an Approved Replacement Developer upon the occurrence of a Management Change Event (as defined in the Operating Agreement) and otherwise pursuant to and accordance with the provisions of the Operating Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 5.04 thereof) and (b) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.02(d). For purposes of this Agreement and as contemplated by Section 5.04(a)(ii) of the Operating Agreement, “Management Change Event” means a Developer Misconduct Default provided that, in the event of any dispute with respect thereto, it shall have been determined by (I) Arbitration whenever required or permitted hereunder that a Developer Misconduct Default occurred (or, in the event such Arbitration is challenged in court, determined by a court in accordance with clause (II) below), or (II) a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination has become final and non-appealable) that a Developer Misconduct Default occurred.
(h) The failure or delay by PE Member in exercising any right, power or privilege shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise.
(i) The provisions of this Section 10.02 shall survive the PE Unit Closing and the termination of this Agreement.

If one from among the panel of Arbiters (or Work Dispute Arbiters) resigns or becomes unable to serve hereunder, a successor individual shall be selected by the parties hereto. Except during the pendency of an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the procedures contained herein, either party may, by written notice to the other, disqualify any of the Arbiters or Work Dispute Arbiters for reasonable cause and propose additional arbitrators to be Arbiters or Work Dispute Arbiters to be agreed upon by the parties hereto.
(j) A party (“Disputing Party”) may submit a request for resolution of a dispute (a “Dispute”) pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement by giving notice (a “Dispute Notice”) of the Dispute to the other party to the Dispute (the “Other Disputing Party”) and to the Arbiter (or Work Dispute Arbiter), which Dispute Notice shall identify the provision of the Agreement at issue and shall specify in reasonable detail: (i) the nature of the dispute and the interpretation or decision requested; (ii) the party’s proposal to resolve the dispute; and (iii) a written explanation of its position, together with any materials that it deems relevant for such purpose.

The Arbiter (or Work Dispute Arbiter) shall coordinate among the Disputing Party and the Other Disputing Party in order to arrange for a time or time(s) to meet and present positions within the time deadlines as provided below. The Disputing Party and the Other Disputing Party shall each make themselves available during such time deadlines and if no mutually convenient time is agreed upon, each party shall be available during business hours on the last Business Day of such time deadline.
(l) The Disputing Party and Other Disputing Party shall each be entitled to present additional evidence and arguments to the Arbiter (or Work Dispute Arbiter) (in addition to the initial written statements described above) in accordance with procedures, if any, determined by the Arbiter (or Work Dispute Arbiter), which procedures shall be implemented by the Arbiter (or Work Dispute Arbiter) so as to cause the time deadlines set forth below to be met. All evidence and arguments must be presented to the Arbiter (or Work Dispute Arbiter) within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the five (5) Business Day period described in Section 14.01(c).

(m) Developer shall not stop the design or construction of the Building during the pendency of any dispute, but shall not proceed with any aspects of the work at issue in the dispute if any work performed might have to be changed depending on the resolution of the Arbitration. The initiation or pendency of any Arbitration shall not give any Member the right to withhold or delay payment of any Draw Request or other sum due hereunder, provided that the making of such payment shall not prejudice PE Member’s right to pursue the dispute in question.
(n) Proceedings before or involving dispute resolution under this Article in and of themselves shall not constitute events of Force Majeure or ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Arbiter in any Arbitration determines that PE Member acted unreasonably (where PE Member is obligated to be reasonable) in withholding its approval or consent, and that the dispute and Arbitration resulted in actual delay, then such delay shall be ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
(o) No dispute or matter arising under this Agreement shall be subject to resolution under this Article 14 unless this Agreement specifically provides for such dispute or matter to be resolved by Arbitration under this Article 14.

Nothing contained in this Section 19.10 is intended to vitiate PE Member’s right to exercise the Multiple Unit Election.
Section 19.11 Successors and Assigns.

The attorney for any Person may send notices on that Person’s behalf.
SECTION 20.Governing Law. This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed solely within such State.
SECTION 21.Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Person constituting Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees that any suit, action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty shall be brought in the courts of record of the State of New York in New York County or the courts of the United States, Southern District of New York; (b) consents to, and waives any and all personal rights under the laws of any state or the United States to object to, the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding; and (c) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts. In furtherance of such agreement, each such Person hereby agrees, upon request of PE Member, to discontinue (or allow to be discontinued) any such suit, action or proceeding pending in any other jurisdiction or court. Nothing contained herein, however, shall prevent PE Member from bringing any suit, action or proceeding or exercising any rights against any security or against any Guarantor, or against any property of any Guarantor, in any other state or court. Initiating such suit, action or proceeding or taking such action in any state shall in no event constitute a waiver of the agreement contained herein that the laws of the State of New York shall govern the rights and obligations of each Guarantor and PE Member hereunder or thereunder or the submission herein or therein by each Guarantor to personal jurisdiction within the State of New York. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by service of copies of such process to Guarantor at its address provided herein. Nothing in this Section 21, however, shall affect the right of PE Member to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH GUARANTOR AND PE MEMBER, EACH KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND FOREVER FORGOES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION OF ANY GUARANTOR OR PE MEMBER, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, PARTNERS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS OR AFFILIATES, IN EACH OF THE FOREGOING CASES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. The waivers contained in this Section 21 are given knowingly and voluntarily by each Guarantor and PE Member, as the case may be, and, with respect to the waiver of jury trial, are intended to encompass individually each instance and each issue as to which the right to a trial by jury would otherwise accrue. PE Member and each Guarantor are hereby authorized to file a copy of this Section 21 in any proceeding as conclusive evidence of these waivers.
SECTION 22.Invalid Provisions to Affect No Others. If fulfillment of any provision hereof at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity; and if any clause or provision herein contained operates or would prospectively operate to invalidate this Guaranty in whole or in part, then such clause or provision only shall be held for naught, as though not herein contained, and the remainder of this Guaranty shall remain operative and in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.
SECTION ▇▇.▇▇ Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of PE Member to exercise any power, right or privilege under this Guaranty shall impair or be construed to be a waiver of any such power, right or privilege, or be construed to be a waiver of any default or an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such power, right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
SECTION 24.Reinstatement of Guaranteed Obligations. If at any time all or any part of any payment made by any Related/Oxford Party or any Guarantor or received by PE Member from any Related/Oxford Party or any Guarantor under or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and/or this Guaranty is or may be voided in bankruptcy proceedings as a preference or for any other reason, or shall at any time be required to be restored or returned by PE Member upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Related/Oxford Party or such Guarantor, or for any other reason, then the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment voided, rescinded or returned, be deemed to be reinstated and to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such previous payment made by any Related/Oxford Party or any Guarantor, or receipt of payment by PE Member, and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment by any Related/Oxford Party or such Guarantor had never been made.
SECTION 25.Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 26.Successive Actions. Separate and successive actions may be brought hereunder to enforce any of the provisions hereof at any time and from time to time. No action hereunder shall preclude any subsequent action, and Guarantor hereby waives and covenants not to assert any defense in the nature of splitting of causes of action or merger of judgments.
SECTION 27.Headings. The headings of the Sections and subsections of this Guaranty are for the convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part hereof and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof.
SECTION 28.Waiver. Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against any Related/Oxford Party, Guarantor shall not seek a supplemental stay pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of PE Member to enforce its rights against Guarantor by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise.
SECTION 29.Amendments. Neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by instrument in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
SECTION 30.Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument and shall be binding upon each party hereto as fully and completely as if all had signed but one instrument. The exchange of copies of this Guaranty, any signature pages required hereunder or any other documents required or contemplated hereunder by facsimile or portable document format (“PDF”) transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of such signature pages and may be used in lieu of the original signature pages for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.
SECTION 31.Entire Agreement. This Guaranty embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof, except as specifically agreed to the contrary.
SECTION 32.[Intentionally Omitted].
SECTION 33.Approval Standard. In any circumstance where this Guaranty specifies that the approval or consent of PE Member must be given, or that any matter or circumstance must be satisfactory or acceptable to PE Member, then unless expressly set forth to the contrary, or unless PE Member expressly agrees hereunder or under the applicable Transaction Document to be reasonable, such approval or consent or such determination of satisfaction or acceptability, shall be within the sole and absolute discretion of PE Member.
SECTION 34.Statute of Limitations. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and releases, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment or performance of its obligations hereunder.
SECTION 35.Confidentiality.
(a) Each of PE Member and each Guarantor and their respective partners, principals, members, owners, shareholders, partners, attorneys, agents, employees and consultants (and their respective successors and assigns) shall treat the terms of this Guaranty as confidential, giving it the same care as its own confidential information, and make no use of any such disclosed information not independently known to it, except (i) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) to the extent legally compelled or requested by a regulatory or other governmental authority (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose the same, (iii) to the extent required by any federal, state, local or foreign laws, or by any rules or regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (or its equivalent in any foreign country) or any domestic or foreign public stock exchange or stock quotation system that may be applicable to any party hereto or any of their direct or indirect constituent owners or Affiliates (including that require this Agreement to be publicly filed) or (iv) to the extent required by the MTA Project Documents or the Construction Loan Documents, but in such case disclosure may only be made to the MTA or the Construction Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Guaranty (and/or any other information subject to the confidentiality and non-disclosure restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence) may be disclosed to (A) a party’s accountants, attorneys, employees, agents, actual or potential direct or indirect transferees, sublessees, direct or indirect investors and direct or indirect lenders, and others in privity with such party or its Affiliates or actual or potential transferees or lenders, purchasers, lessors, tenants and/or financial counterparties. in each case to the extent reasonably necessary for such party’s business purposes or in connection with a dispute hereunder, (B) the LLC, Tower A Tenant, the Other Members and any Construction Lender or other lender providing financing to PE Member or its Affiliates or to the Other Members or their respective Affiliates, which financing shall be secured by the PE Unit or the Other Units or any direct or indirect interests therein, (C) any equity investor in PE Member or its Affiliates or the Other Members or their respective Affiliates providing equity capital for the Project and (D) as otherwise permitted under the terms of the Development Agreement. In the event of a termination of this Guaranty, each party shall promptly return or destroy all confidential information it has received (except for such information that is required to be retained pursuant to applicable law or regulation or internal compliance procedures, for as long as the same is so required to be retained).
(b) None of Guarantors, nor PE Member nor any Member may, without all other parties’ prior consent, permit the public dissemination of any public relations releases, advertisements or similar communications or materials with respect to the Project that includes or describes the identity of the other party or its constituents or affiliates.
SECTION 36.Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person executes this Guaranty as Guarantor, the obligations of those Persons under this Guaranty shall be joint and several. PE Member may, in its sole and absolute discretion, (a) bring suit against Guarantor, or any one or more of the Persons comprising Guarantor, jointly and severally, or against any one or more of them; (b) compromise or settle with any one or more of the Persons comprising Guarantor for such consideration as PE Member may deem proper; (c) release one or more of the Persons comprising Guarantor from liability; and (d) otherwise deal with Guarantor or any one or more of them, in any manner, and no such action shall impair the rights of PE Member to collect from Guarantor any amount guaranteed by Guarantor under this Guaranty.

Re: | Project: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Yards, New York, New York — Tower A and Retail Podium |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned (“Architect”) entered into (i) an Architectural Services Agreement with ERY Developer LLC (“Developer”) dated as of July 22, 2013 (as amended and assigned by Developer to Tower A Owner by that certain Assignment, Amendment, and Assumption Agreement made and entered into on October 28, 2014 and as may be further amended from time to time, collectively, the “Tower A Architect Agreement”), with respect to the design and development by Tower A Owner of the building commonly referred to as Tower A (30 ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Yards) on the property located at the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and 10th Avenue and known as Parcel A of the Eastern Rail Yard Section of ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ West Side Yard, and (ii) an Architectural Services Agreement with Developer dated as of December 23, 2014 and effective as of April 1, 2013, as assigned from Developer to ERY Tenant LLC pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated as of December 23, 2014 and effective as of June 30, 2014, as further assigned from ERY Tenant to ERY Retail Podium LLC (“Retail Owner” and together with Tower A Owner, collectively, “Owners”) pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2014 (and as may be further amended from time to time, collectively, the “Retail Architect Agreement”, and together with the Tower A Architect Agreement, collectively, the “Architect Agreements”), with respect to the design and development by Retail Owner of the building commonly referred to as the Retail Podium on the property bounded by Tower A to the north, Tower C to the south, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Boulevard to the west, and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the east, and known as Parcel B of the Eastern Rail Yard Section of ▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ West Side Yard (collectively, the “Projects,” as more specifically described in the Architect Agreements). Architect has been engaged by each of Tower A Owner and Retail Owner to act as the architect of record for the respective Projects. PE Member and Developer have entered into that certain Development Agreement, dated as of [____], 2015, with respect to certain portions of the Project (the “Development Agreement”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Development Agreement.
In connection with the Projects and in accordance with the terms of the Architect Agreements, Architect hereby certifies to Owners and the PE Member that, in the Architect’s professional opinion, made in accordance with current, accepted professional architectural standards appropriate for the size, complexity, schedule and other characteristics of the Projects in the jurisdiction in which the Project is located (the “Standard of Care”) and based on (i) Architect’s performance of its services under the Architect Agreements; (ii) as to matters outside the services of the Architect, based on and limited to written representation of others (including but not limited to the main contractor, various subcontractors, and engineers and other consultants retained directly by Owners); and (iii) based upon all necessary information and certifications by others (which universe of information and certifications must be mutually agreed upon by Owners and Architect) supporting the below statements which must be supplied to Architect before Architect can provide this Certification, and further, based on the foregoing and upon the Architect’s knowledge, information and belief, the construction of the Developer Work designed by Architect is sufficiently complete in accordance with the Plans (as defined herein) so that the Owners can occupy or utilize the Developer Work designed by Architect for its intended use as specified below (“substantially complete”) and the date of such substantial completion for such Developer Work is the date hereof. For all matters outside the scope of Architect’s services, all certifications below are merely certifying that the Architect received information from the relevant parties confirming the information set forth below.
1. | The Developer Work is in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications identified in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Plans”) [this exhibit should list all of the Plans, as defined in the Development Agreement, as modified by Change Orders, and omitting only those plans prepared by PE Member’s Architect], other than the completion of the Developer Work set forth on the punch lists prepared by Architect and others. |
2. | As of the date hereof, the Developer Work (other than (i) any Base Building Lighting work not required in order to obtain a temporary certificate of occupancy for the core and shell of the Tower Building pursuant to Section 645 of the New York City Charter and (ii) the Subway Entrance) is substantially completed in accordance with the Plans and in accordance with applicable Laws, other than the completion of the Developer Work set forth on the punch lists prepared by Architect and others. |
3. | The exterior envelope and curtain wall of Tower A (excluding the interior enclosing wall thereof) appear to be substantially complete, other than the completion of the Developer Work set forth on the punch lists prepared by Architect and others. |
4. | All PE Elevators (excluding, for all purposes of this paragraph 5, the elevator cab interiors) and one Tower A elevator providing access to the roof (i) have been substantially completed and (ii) have been inspected and certified for use by the NYC DOB. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, nothing contained in this Certificate, including but not limited to the capitalized terms not defined herein and the definitions thereof, shall increase Architect’s duties or obligations or decrease Architect’s rights under the Architect Agreements or with regard to the Plans, the Projects, or otherwise. Furthermore, without limiting the foregoing, any and all liability of Architect under this Certificate shall be subject to the same limitations of liability contained in the Architect Agreements. This certification is not a representation as to the performance of any of the systems or construction components contained in the Developer Work, and no opinions are expressed regarding the quality or completeness of the designs or work provided by any entity other than the Architect.
Very truly yours,

Delivery Conditions
Developer shall perform all work, and furnish and install all materials and equipment, so that the Building, Premises (i.e., the PE Unit), and building systems are delivered to PE Member free of hazardous materials and asbestos and in compliance with all applicable Laws:
1. | Floors will be delivered with base building HVAC as follows: |
a. | Developer provides PE Member with a Water Cooled Local Floor Packaged Air Conditioning Unit in the core mechanical room, floors 81 to 83 fed from dedicated Packaged Air Conditioning Units (one unit per floor) that are to be located on the 85th floor machine room floor. Permanent cooling will be available at building core and shell 0% TCO no later than March 2019. |
b. | Condenser water will be circulated 24x7, year round. |
c. | Supply and Return air ducts including any fire/smoke dampers as may be required connected to the buildings fire alarm system from Water Cooled Local Floor Packaged Air Conditioning Units, or central Air Conditioning Units for floors all PE Member floors, shall be capped at core wall on both the North and South sides of the core for distribution by PE Member |
i. | The base mechanical design for cooling will be 5.0 ▇▇▇▇▇ per usable square foot demand load for lighting and power, and 49 degree supply air |
ii. | The outside air ventilation is designed at 20 CFM per person based on one (1) person per 140 usable square foot |
1. | Note, the air change rate of the floor directly correlates to the ceiling height of the space because it is a volume calculation. Assuming a 9’ -6” ceiling, the air change rate would be approximately 4.5 Air Changes on the Mid Rise and High Rise and 5 Air Changes per hour on the Upper Office Floors.

From and after the recording of any such Unburdened Parcel Restriction against any such Unburdened Parcel that is owned or controlled by a third party (that is not Owner or an Affiliate of Owner), (i) the Benefited Parties shall have the sole right to enforce such Unburdened Parcel Restriction, and Owner and its Affiliates shall have no obligation to enforce such Unburdened Parcel Restriction and (ii) Owner and its Affiliates shall have no liability to the Benefited Parties in connection with the transfer of Floor Area to such Unburdened Parcel or any breach of such Unburdened Parcel Restriction by the transferee of such Floor Area or any subsequent third-party owner of such Unburdened Parcel (that is not Developer or an Affiliate of Developer). For purposes of this Agreement (x) “Floor Area” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in Section 12-10 of the Zoning Resolution and shall be measured in accordance with the standards set forth in the Zoning Resolution (notwithstanding that the Building may be exempt from application of the Zoning Resolution under Public Authorities Law Section 1266(8)) and (y) “50 HY Block” shall mean the block bounded by ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the east, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Boulevard in the west, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the south and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the north, in the City, County and State of New York.
2. Covenants Running With the Land. The provisions of this Agreement shall run with the land and inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each party and its successors and assigns. Any present or future estate in the Burdened Premises and any lien, obligation, covenant, lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance of any kind at any time arising, claimed or asserted in the Burdened Premises shall be subject and subordinate to this Agreement and the Benefited Parties’ interest herein, except in each case with respect to the Title Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the filing of an amendment to the Declaration subdividing the Office Unit and creating the Upper Office Unit, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect with respect to the owner or lessee of any portion of the Office Unit or the Building other than the Upper Office Unit. For purposes of this Agreement, “Benefited Parties” means Tower A Tenant, any owner of the Office Unit (prior to such subdivision) or the Upper Office Unit (from and after such subdivision), any Declarant Net Lessee (as defined in the Bylaws) of the Office Unit (prior to such subdivision) or the Upper Office Unit (from and after such subdivision), KKR HY LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and their respective successors and assigns.
3. Representations and Warranties of Owner. Owner hereby represents and warrants that it (a) owns fee simple title to the Burdened Premises, subject to any matters of record as of the date of recordation of this Agreement, including without limitation any mortgage recorded against the Burdened Premises; liens for real estate taxes and assessments; unrecorded leases; any laws, rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances, orders or other legal requirements affecting the Burdened Premises; and any state of facts which a current survey or inspection of the Burdened Premises would disclose (collectively, the “Title Exceptions”); (b) has all power and authority to enter into this Agreement, and (c) in connection with the Burdened Premises, has not transferred any development rights, air rights or rights or options to purchase to any third party.
4. Estoppels. Each party shall, upon at least twenty (20) days’ prior written request, deliver to the other party a written statement, setting forth whether this Agreement is in full force and effect; the extent to which this Agreement has been modified by written instrument not of record; the extent to which the responding party has served any written notice of default under this Agreement, which default remains uncured; and that the statement may be relied upon by the requesting party and said designee.
5. Remedies. In the event of a default by Owner under this Agreement, the Benefited Parties shall have the right to seek any and all administrative and judicial remedies as may be available at law or equity, including without limitation an action for injunctive relief or specific performance (it being agreed that any violation by Owner of the covenants contained in this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the Benefited Parties as to which an award of money damages may be an inadequate remedy) or for damages (including the diminution in value of the Benefited Unit, if any). In the event of any action, suit or proceeding between the parties, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the non-prevailing party of the legal fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such action, suit or proceeding.
6. No Transfer of Development Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as conveying or otherwise transferring the fee or any other interest in the property owned or leased by either party to the other party, or in any air rights or development rights.
7. Miscellaneous.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without reference to principles of conflicts of laws, and the parties each individually agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of all Federal and New York State courts located in the State and County of New York in connection with any litigation instituted under this Agreement.
(b) This Agreement shall be construed without regard to the presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted.
(c) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no party shall be deemed to have made any representations, warranties or promises, express or implied, concerning anything affected by this Agreement.

In addition, the parties may execute separate signature and acknowledgment pages, and such signature and acknowledgment pages (and/or signature and acknowledgment pages that have been detached from one or more duplicate original copies of this Agreement) may be combined and attached to one or more copies of this Agreement so that such copies shall contain the signatures and acknowledgments of all of the parties hereto.
(e) In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or enforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
(f) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any party other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. For the avoidance of doubt, the Benefited Parties are expressly intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement, and each of them shall have full power and authority to enforce this Agreement. Neither the members, managers, partners, shareholders, directors, officers or principals, direct and indirect, of Owner shall be liable for the performance of Owner’s obligations under this Agreement. From and after the transfer by Owner of the Burdened Premises to any third party (that is not Owner or an Affiliate of Owner), neither Owner nor any of its Affiliates shall have any obligation to enforce this Agreement nor shall either of them have any liability for any breach of this Agreement by such transferee or any subsequent third-party owner of the Burdened Premises (that is not Owner or an Affiliate of Owner).
(g) The titles set forth in this Agreement are intended for ease of reference only and shall have no force or effect in the interpretation of this Agreement.
(h) Each party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and take such other or further actions as may be reasonably required in order to carry out and effectuate the intent and purpose of this Agreement, all at the sole cost and expense of the party requesting such further assurances.
(i) This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by a written instrument duly executed by each party hereto or its respective successor in interest hereto.
(j) This Agreement shall be recorded against the Burdened Premises and the Benefited Unit in the Office of the City Register for New York County.
