1. License:
Article 1 of the License shall be deleted and the following shall be
substituted in its place and stead:
License: Licensor hereby grants to Licensee, and
Licensee hereby accepts from Licensor, a license to
have tickets to the Attraction sold by Licensor, in
accordance with the provisions of the License
Agreement, as modified by the License Modification
Agreement dated March, 1996, and the Second
Modification of License Agreement dated December 30,
1999.
2. Annual License Fee and Contingent License Fee:
Article 3 of the License Agreement and Article 11 of the
License Modification Agreement are hereby deleted and the following set forth
below is substituted in their place and stead:
2.1 Annual License Fee: Licensee shall pay to Licensor a fixed
license fee (the "Annual Fee") at the following rates per annum, payable to
Licensor in advance in equal monthly installments on the first day of each month
without any setoff or deduction whatsoever:
- $100,000.00 per annum ($8,333.33 per month) through March 31,
1995;
- $150,000.00 per annum ($12,500.00 per month) from April 1, 1995
through March 31, 1998;
- $175,000.00 per annum ($14,583.33 per month) from April 1, 1998
through March 31, 2002;
- $200,000.00 per annum ($16,666.66 per month) from April 1, 2002
through March 31, 2006;
- $225,000.00 per annum ($18,750.00 per month) from April 1, 2006

through June 30, 2016.
All payments, charges or reimbursements due hereunder from
Licensee shall be deemed additional license fees and payable on demand, unless
otherwise herein provided.
The Annual Fee payable hereunder shall be payable without
regard to whether the Attraction is open for business.
2.2 Contingent License Fee: In addition to the Annual Fee, as
an incentive for Licensor to sell tickets to the Attraction ("Attraction
Tickets"), Licensee shall pay to Licensor, in accordance with Schedule A which
is annexed hereto, and upon the terms and conditions set forth below, an annual
contingent license fee (the "Annual Contingent License Fee") at the end of the
calendar year.
(a) No Annual Contingent License Fee shall be paid for any
calendar year unless and until the Capture Rate (defined below) equals and/or
exceeds 10.5% for that calendar year. The Capture Rate, which is set forth in
COLUMN 1 of Schedule A, is a percentage equaling the total number of Attraction
Tickets sold by Licensor in a given calendar year (numerator) divided by the
total admissions to the Observatory in such calendar year (denominator). By way
of example only, if 100,000 tickets are sold by Licensor to the Attraction in
the calendar year 1999, and 1,000,000 are the total admissions to the
Observatory in the calendar year 1999, then the 1999 Capture Rate is 10.0%.
e.g., (Annual Attraction Tickets
sold by Licensor) 100,000 = 10.0%
--------------------------------------
(Annual Admissions to the 1,000,000
Observatory)
The applicable Capture Rate shall be the highest listed percentage in COLUMN 1
of Schedule A which was actually obtained. By way of example only, if the
Capture Rate is 10.8%, the applicable Capture Rate shall be 10.5%. In
determining the Capture Rate, it is expressly understood that the numerator of
the above formula shall also include sales by Licensor through the vending
machines as set forth in paragraph 3 hereof.
(b) Licensor shall provide Licensee with weekly, monthly,
quarterly and annual reports ("Reports"), certified by a duly authorized
representative of Licensor, setting forth: the number of admissions to the
Observatory and the number of tickets sold by Licensor to the Attraction, with a
breakdown of daily tallies. The Reports shall be substantially in the form of
the reports annexed hereto as Schedule B. The annual reports ("Annual Reports")
shall also set forth the Capture Rate. Weekly Reports shall be provided within
seven days of each week; monthly Reports shall be provided within fifteen days
of the end of each month; quarterly Reports shall be provided within twenty-one
days of the end of each calendar quarter; and Annual Reports shall be provided
within thirty days of the end of each calendar year. To the extent permitted by
law, Licensee shall not further disseminate, publish or disclose Licensor's
Reports to any third party, other than: (i) Licensee's accountants, (ii) in a
lawsuit, arbitration or administrative proceeding in which Licensor and Licensee
are both parties; or (iii) pursuant to a court order or other legal mandate.
(c) Provided that Licensee does not dispute Licensor's Capture
Rate as set forth in the Annual Report, Licensee shall pay Licensor an Annual
Contingent License Fee in accordance with Articles 2.2(d) within thirty (30)
days of the receipt of Licensor's Annual Report for the applicable period.
(d) If the Capture Rate shall equal and/or exceed 10.5% for
any calendar year, Licensee shall pay to Licensor the applicable Contingent
License Fee, in accordance with COLUMN 2 of the table set forth in Schedule A.
(e) Notwithstanding any restrictions to the contrary in the
License Agreement and/or the License Modification Agreement, the parties have
mutually agreed to implement the Contingent License Fee system which shall be
effective August 1, 1999, and continue for the term of this Agreement. For the
calendar year 1999, one-half of the applicable Contingent License Fee shall be
payable if the Capture Rate for the period August 1, 1999 through December 31,
1999 shall equal and/or exceed 10.5%.
(f) The certified Annual Reports furnished by Licensor to
Licensee shall constitute a final determination as between Licensor and Licensee
as to the Capture Rate, unless Licensee, within thirty (30) days after
Licensee's receipt of the certified Annual Reports shall give a notice ("Dispute
Notice") to Licensor that it disputes the accuracy of the certified Annual
Reports, which notice shall specify the particular respects in which the Annual
Report is inaccurate. Licensee shall have the right, during reasonable business
hours and upon not less than five (5) business days' prior written notice to
Licensor, to examine Licensor's books and records (including, but not limited
to, back-up documentation such as ticket stubs, and receipts) with respect to
the Capture Rate. Licensee shall notify Licensor in detail of the results of
such examination within fourteen (14) days after concluding such examination. If
Licensee shall give a Dispute Notice, upon not less than five (5) business days'
prior written notice to Licensee, Licensor shall also have the right to examine
Licensee's books and records (including, but not limited to, back-up
documentation such as ticket stubs, and receipts) with respect to the Capture
Rate.
(g) Any dispute as to the Capture Rate Figures which is not
resolved by the parties shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Article 6 herein.
3. Ticket Computer Vending Machines at Concourse Area:
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the License
Agreement or License Modification Agreement, Licensor hereby authorizes Licensee
to install, at a location (in the Concourse area of the Building) selected by
Licensor, two (2) ticket computer vending machines to sell Observatory Tickets
and/or Combination Tickets (defined below). The ticket computer vending machines
shall accept as payment for the tickets credit cards, but not cash. The cost of
such ticket computer vending machines (including, installation), and all
expenses incurred in connection with the maintenance, repair and replacement of
such machines, shall be borne by Licensee. However, if Licensor requires
Licensee to move the location of such ticket computer vending machines, the
Licensor shall bear all costs and expenses associated with moving and
re-installing such machines, in accordance with Article 8.1 herein.
(a) Any payments received for Observatory Tickets purchased
from the ticket computer vending machines shall be segregated into a separate
account created and maintained by Licensor; Licensor shall be responsible for
all costs, fees and/or charges associated with such account (including, but not
limited to, the reduction in any manner by credit card company fees or any other
costs associated with credit cards or other forms of payment).
(b) Any payments received for Combination Tickets purchased
from the ticket computer vending machines shall be segregated into a separate
account created and maintained by Licensor. Licensor's share of the receipts
from such Combination Tickets shall not be reduced in any manner by credit card
company fees or any other costs associated with credit cards or other forms of
payment. Within five (5) business days of the expiration of each month, Licensor
shall: (i) pay to Licensee that portion of the Combination Ticket payments which
belongs to Licensee; and (ii) provide Licensee with a report, certified by a
duly authorized representative of Licensor, setting forth the number of
Combination Tickets sold by the ticket computer vending machines and the amounts
collected by such machines for the applicable period. Any dispute as to the
above report which is not resolved by the parties shall be resolved in
accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 6 herein.
4. Purchase of Observatory Tickets by Licensee:
Article 1(D) of the License Modification Agreement shall be
amended to add the following provisions at the end of the first sentence:
"Licensee shall be permitted to purchase Observatory Tickets
from Licensor's office at the Building or from Licensor's
Concourse Ticket Office or in accordance with the terms and
conditions of the voucher system described in Article 5
herein.
It is expressly understood and agreed to by the parties that
beginning on August 1, 1999, Licensee has the right to
purchase tickets to the Observatory ("Observatory Tickets")
from Licensor at the lowest wholesale price charged to anyone
at that particular time ("Licensor's Lowest Wholesale Rate").
For the period August 1, 1999 through January 2, 2000,
Licensor's Lowest Wholesale Rate is $4.20 for an adult ticket,
$2.80 for a student ticket, $2.10 for a senior ticket and
$2.00 for a child's ticket. For the period beginning January
3, 2000 (until there is a subsequent change), Licensor's
Lowest Wholesale Rate shall be $5.25 for an adult ticket,
$4.00 for a student ticket, $4.00 for a senior ticket and
$3.00 for a child's ticket.
Licensor's Lowest Wholesale Rate shall be provided to Licensee
irrespective of how the rates are determined, whether by
number of tickets purchased, category or any other means. Upon
written request of Licensee, Licensor further agrees to
furnish to Licensee a written list of the then-existing
Licensor's Lowest Wholesale Rate within ten (10) business days
of Licensee's written request.
Licensor warrants and represents that the Licensor's Lowest
Wholesale Rates set forth above are the lowest wholesale
prices for the Observatory Tickets charged to anyone for the
periods of time set forth.
Licensee shall not sell Observatory Tickets alone at its
ticket window in The Empire State Building, but shall sell
them only as Combination Tickets with tickets to the
Attraction Tickets.
To the extent permitted by law, Licensee shall not further
disseminate, publish or disclose Licensor's Wholesale Rates or
updated Wholesale Rates to any third party, other than: (i)
Licensee's accountants, (ii) in a lawsuit, arbitration or
administrative proceeding in which Licensor and Licensee are
both parties; or (iii) pursuant to a court order or other
legal mandate."
5. Voucher System:
5.1 The first sentence of Article 4(f) of the License
Agreement shall be deleted and the following sentence shall be substituted in
its place and stead:
"Licensor shall have no obligation to handle discount
coupons, rebates or other promotional items of any kind."
5.2 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the License Agreement or
License Modification Agreement, Licensor and Licensee mutually agree to
implement a voucher system which shall be effective no earlier than January 1,
2000, and continue for the term of this Agreement.
5.3 Licensee shall make an initial deposit of twenty thousand ($20,000.00)

Account"). At present, Licensor intends to use Fleet Bank.
5.4 When a customer purchases a Combination Ticket from Licensee to both
the Attraction and the Observatory, Licensee shall provide the customer with a
printed Observatory Voucher ("Observatory Voucher"). The Observatory Voucher
shall contain an identical serial number on both ends of its face, and shall
contain information as required by Article 44 of the lease for rooms 216-WP232
and 325-328. Licensee shall retain one-half of a sold Observatory Voucher
(containing the serial number on one end) to a customer; the other half
(containing the serial number on the other end) shall be given to the customer
who, in turn, shall remit such partial Observatory Voucher to Licensor or its
agents to gain admittance to the Observatory.
5.5 For each Observatory Voucher remitted to Licensor, Licensor shall
deduct the cost of an Observatory Ticket (in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in Article 1(D) of the License Modification Agreement and
Article 4 herein) from the Observatory Voucher Bank Account.
5.6 (a) Licensor shall authorize Licensee to check the balance of the
Observatory Voucher Bank Account on a daily basis and shall forward Licensee a
copy of all bank statements for such account.
(b) Following the expiration of each month, Licensor shall submit to
Licensee a statement, certified by a duly authorized representative of Licensor,
setting forth the number of Observatory Vouchers it received from customers for
the applicable period (the "Observatory Voucher Statement").
(c) The Observatory Voucher Statement thus furnished to Licensee shall
constitute a final determination as between Licensor and Licensee as to the
amount of Observatory Vouchers sold for the period covered thereby, unless
Licensee, within thirty (30) days after Licensee's receipt of the Observatory
Voucher Statement shall give a Dispute Notice to Licensor that it disputes the
accuracy of the Observatory Voucher Statement, which notice shall specify the
particular respects in which the Observatory Voucher Statement is inaccurate.
(d) Any dispute as to the above figures which is not resolved by the
parties shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article
6 herein.
(e) If the Observatory Voucher Statement, as finally determined, shows a
variance between the amount of Observatory Vouchers sold by Licensee and the
amount for which the Observatory Voucher Bank Account was charged for the
applicable monthly period, Licensee or Licensor, as the case may be, will pay to
the other within five (5) days of such final determination the amount of any
excess or deficiency in Licensee's payments.
5.7 Licensor shall give Licensee written notice anytime the balance of the
Observatory Voucher Bank Account equals or is less than two thousand five
hundred ($2,500.00) dollars, and Licensee shall restore the balance to at least
twenty thousand ($20,000.00) dollars no less than five (5) business days from
the receipt of such written notice.

be submitted to binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the
then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA, except as otherwise
modified by this Agreement.
(b) Each arbitration shall be conducted by three (3) arbitrators. The

arbitrators cannot be made from the list, the AAA shall send additional lists,
in accordance with the procedure set forth above, until the appointment of three
(3) arbitrators. The parties shall be given notice by the AAA, in writing, of

hearing, and provide the parties with at least fourteen (14) days advance
written notice of the hearing date. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in
writing, both parties shall be given a full and fair opportunity to engage in
discovery and prosecute and/or defend the claims, and shall not be forced to
have the hearing in one day. The award shall be rendered not later than fourteen
(14) days from the date of the closing of the hearing. The arbitration panel
must adhere to and apply the substantive laws of the State of New York,
including the rules of evidence.
(e) An award made by the arbitration panel shall be final, binding and
conclusive on all parties hereto for all purposes, and judgment on an award
granted by the arbitrators may be entered and enforced in any court of competent
jurisdiction.
(f) Each arbitration shall take place at the New York City Office of the
AAA. Each party's costs of arbitration shall be borne to the respective parties,
except that the costs and expenses of the arbitrators shall be shared equally by
the parties. If any party does not comply with the final award, such party shall
bear all resulting costs of enforcing the award.
(g) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article, each party shall have
the right to apply to an arbitrator selected by the AAA for the purpose of
temporary or preliminary injunctive relief and/or an order directing arbitration
pursuant hereto, or to a court of appropriate jurisdiction for the same or
similar relief.
