with offices at 1166 Avenue of the Americas. ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (“Sublessor”), and

▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ (“Sublessee”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, by Lease dated as of March 14, 2000, by and between 1166 LLC, as landlord
(“Landlord”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank (then known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as tenant
(“JPMC”), (as such Lease may, subject to the limitations contained in this Sublease, be
amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (as shown on Exhibit A annexed hereto)
(the “Prime Lease”), Landlord leased to JPMC certain premises located on the Cellar, ▇▇▇,
▇▇▇, ▇▇▇, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st Floors (collectively,
the “Premises”) in the building known by the street address 1166 Avenue of the Americas,
New York, New York (the “Building”), which Premises are more particularly described in the
Prime Lease, a true and correct copy of which has been delivered to Sublessee.
WHEREAS, JPMC has assigned its interest as tenant under the Prime Lease to Sublessor; and
WHEREAS, Sublessor desires to sublease to Sublessee and Sublessee desires to hire from
Sublessor a portion of the Premises (the “Subleased Premises”), which Subleased Premises
are more particularly described below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set
forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Sublessor and Sublessee hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Subleased Premises. As of the Commencement Date (defined below), Sublessor
hereby subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby hires from Sublessor, the Subleased Premises,
consisting of approximately 39,075 rentable square feet, located on the 10th Floor of the Building,
shown on the floor plan annexed to the Prime Lease as Exhibit A. The reference to a floor
plan of the Subleased Premises does not constitute a representation by Sublessor that said floor
plan is exact or correct, and Sublessor makes no representation or warranty with respect to the
accuracy of the layout or dimensions of the Subleased Premises as shown on said floor plan or
otherwise.
SECTION 2. Term. (a) The term (“Term”) of this Sublease shall commence on the
date (the “Commencement Date”) which is the latest to occur of (i) December 1, 2009 (the
“Anticipated Commencement Date”), or (ii) three (3) business days after Sublessor gives
Sublessee written notice that the condition set forth in Section 23 has been satisfied, and
shall, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, expire at midnight on December 30,
2020 (the “Expiration Date”). On the Commencement Date, Sublessor shall disconnect its
card readers necessary to access the Subleased Premises. Subtenant may have its own security
system but it must be connected to the Building class E system and the Building management must
have key cards. Subject to the provisions of Section 13(f)(ii) hereof, if for any reason the Prime
Lease is terminated prior to the Expiration Date of this Sublease, this Sublease shall be deemed to
have been terminated on the date that is one (1) day prior to the date of termination of the Prime
Lease, and further subject to Sections 2(b) and 13(f) hereof, Sublessor shall not be liable to
Sublessee by reason thereof for damages or otherwise unless (i) such termination of the Prime Lease
and early termination of this Sublease results from either (A) a default beyond the expiration of
any applicable notice and/or cure period by Sublessor, as tenant under the Prime Lease and not as
the result of a default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period by
Sublessee under this Sublease or (B) a voluntary surrender or termination of the Prime Lease,
except that Sublessor shall return to Sublessee, subject to the other provisions hereof, that
portion of any Rent (hereinafter defined) paid in advance by Sublessee, if any, that is applicable
to the period following the date of such termination. If the Commencement Date is not the first day
of a month or the Expiration Date of this Sublease is not the last day of a month, rent for the
month in which the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs shall be pro-rated on a per diem
basis. Notwithstanding that there is no representation as to the accuracy of the floor plan,
Sublessor and Sublessee agree that for all purposes of this Sublease (a) the Subleased Premises
shall be deemed to contain 39,075 rentable square feet; and (b) the Premises shall be deemed to
contain 556,370 rentable square feet as set forth in Schedule 3.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 2(a) above, and provided Sublessor gives Sublessee written notice
that the condition set forth in Section 23 has been satisfied, at any time on or after November 1,
2009, Sublessee shall be permitted to gain access to the Premises for the sole and exclusive
purpose of performing Sublessee’s initial work therein (“Sublessee’s Initial Work”),
provided and on condition that (i) at all times Sublessee complies fully with, and such access
shall be governed by and subject to, all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Sublease, Sublessee shall not
be responsible for the payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent to Sublessor until the Rent
Commencement Date; (ii) Sublessee hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Sublessor, its
directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and
against any claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities whatsoever arising out of Sublessee
access to or presence at the Subleased Premises in connection with the access granted pursuant to
this Article; and (iii) Sublessee shall repair promptly, at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, in a
good and workmanlike manner, using materials of a quality equal or superior to those which were
damaged, and in accordance with the requirements of this Sublease, any and all damage to the
Subleased Premises or the Building arising out of Sublessee access to or presence at the Subleased
Premises in connection with the access granted pursuant to this Article. The foregoing access to
perform Sublessee’s Initial Work shall not be deemed the delivery or acceptance of possession by
Sublessee, nor the Commencement Date of this Sublease.
2
(c) If Sublessor is unable to give possession of the Subleased Premises in the
condition required by Section 7 on the Commencement Date for any reason, Sublessor shall not
be liable to Sublessee by reason thereof for damages or otherwise, and the validity of this
Sublease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the same be construed to extend
the Term but the Commencement Date will be deferred until Sublessor is able to give possession of
the Subleased Premises. The provisions of this Section 2(b) are intended to constitute “an express
provision to the contrary” within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.
If Sublessor fails to give possession of the Subleased Premises in the condition required by
Section 7 for reasons which do not constitute an Unavoidable Delay as that term is defined in
Section 18.03B of the Prime Lease and the Commencement Date does not occur by December 31, 2009,
Sublessee will receive an abatement of Base Rent equal to two day’s Base Rent for each day elapsing
between January 1, 2010 and the Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date does not occur by
February 1, 2010 without regard to whether there was an Unavoidable Delay, Sublessee may cancel
this Sublease on notice to Sublessor given by February 28, 2010. If the reason for non-delivery of
the Premises by December 31, 2009 was a casualty governed by Section 12 hereof and Article 9 of the
Prime Lease, as incorporated herein, and the Commencement Date has not occurred by February 28,
2010, then Sublessee may elect (but without any obligation to so elect, and on notice given to
Sublessor by February 28, 2010 to have February 1, 2010 be the Commencement Date in which event
this Sublease will remain in full force and effect subject to the provisions of Section 12 hereof
and the provisions of Article 9 of the Prime Lease, as incorporated herein.
SECTION 3. Base Rent and Additional Rent.
(a) Commencing on the tenth (10th) month anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Rent
Commencement Date”) Sublessee covenants to pay Sublessor, at the office of Sublessor, or at
such other place as Sublessor may from time to time designate in writing, a fixed annual rental
(“Base Rent”) as specified in Schedule 1 annexed hereto and made a part hereof.
Each monthly installment of Base Rent shall be due on the first day of each month during the
Term without any set-off or deduction of any kind whatsoever, except as may be expressly provided
herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor may, in accordance with the provisions of Section
3.06 of the Prime Lease, as incorporated herein, require the Base Rent to be paid by a wire
transfer to an account at a bank specified in a written notice to Sublessee. Any sum due hereunder
to Sublessor which is not Base Rent is referred to as “Additional Rent”.
(b) Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, as Additional Rent hereunder (i) Sublessee’s
Proportionate Share (defined below) of “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” (as defined in the Prime
Lease) of increases in Taxes (as defined in Section 19.02A of the Prime Lease) in accordance with
Article 19 of the Prime Lease except that for purposes of this Sublease, all references in the
Prime Lease to “Base Tax Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the Taxes for the Premises for the
July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 fiscal tax year, (ii) Sublessee’s Proportionate Share of Tenant’s
Proportionate Share of increases in the Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 19.02E of the
Prime Lease) in accordance with Article 19 of the Prime Lease except that for purposes of this
Sublease, all references in the Prime Lease to “Base Operating Amount” shall mean an amount equal
to Operating Expenses under the Prime Lease for calendar year 2010, (iii) one-hundred percent
(100%) of any Additional Rent payable by Sublessor to
3
Landlord under the Prime Lease which is attributable to Sublessee’s use or manner of use of
the Subleased Premises, or manner of use of the portions of the Building other than the Subleased
Premises or is for services provided to Sublessee by Landlord and (iv) one-hundred percent (100%)
of amounts payable hereunder for services (other than costs for cleaning, the costs of which,
subject to the provisions of Section 13(e) hereof, are included in the Base Rent) provided to
Sublessee hereunder by Sublessor unless such services are being provided to multiple users,
including Sublessor, the cost of such services shall be equitably pro-rated among such multiple
users. Provided Sublessor has given Sublessee at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of
the amount of Additional Rent payable under this paragraph on account of amounts due to the
Landlord under the Prime Lease and of the date the corresponding payment is due Landlord under the
Prime Lease, Sublessee shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 of the Prime Lease, as
incorporated herein, wire transfer to Sublessor’s account the amount of Additional Rent not less
than two (2) business days before the payment is due Landlord. Payments to Sublessor not linked to
corresponding payments due from Sublessor, as tenant under the Prime Lease, to Landlord shall be
made twenty-five (25) days after written demand therefor including reasonable back-up documentation
with respect to the amount billed (including any corresponding ▇▇▇▇ and back-up provided by
Landlord). Sublessor shall not be required to give notice to Sublessee of recurring items of
Additional Rent which are due on the same day as Base Rent is payable and with respect to which
Landlord is not required to ▇▇▇▇ Sublessor under the Prime Lease (such as monthly installments of
Estimated Payments under Section 19.04B of the Prime Lease; it being agreed however, that such
Estimated Payments shall utilize the Base Tax Amount and Base Operating Expenses as defined herein
and that Sublessee shall have no obligation to make any Estimated Payments prior to the Rent
Commencement Date).
For the purposes of this Sublease, “Sublessee’s Proportionate Share” shall mean the
percentage calculated pursuant to Schedule 2 annexed hereto and as may be appropriately adjusted
from time to time to reflect any increase or decrease in the rentable square footage of the
Premises or Subleased Premises as determined pursuant to Schedule 3 hereof. The parties agree to
make appropriate adjustments to any Additional Rent payable hereunder as a result of a change of
Sublessee’s Proportionate Share in accordance with the terms hereof.
Sublessor shall not charge a separate premium, administrative or other charge to items of
Additional Rent or other charges billed to Sublessee pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease or
any of the provisions of the Prime Lease incorporated herein by reference over and above the
charges imposed under the Prime Lease.
(c) Sublessee shall be entitled to receive Sublessee’s Proportionate Share of the amount of
any refunds, if any, reflecting the adjustments referred to in this Section 3 received by Sublessor
from Landlord on account of any overpayment or other reimbursement under the Prime Lease with
respect to which Sublessee has paid Additional Rent to Sublessor under this Sublease net, subject
to the provisions of the second paragraph of Section 13(b) hereof, of Sublessee’s Proportionate
Share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Sublessor to claim and collect such
refund.
4
(d) Sublessee’s obligation to pay Additional Rent hereunder shall relate to the period from
and after the Commencement Date to and including the Expiration Date; provided,
however, no Additional Rent shall be due or payable in respect of (i) Operating Expenses prior
to January 1, 2011, or (ii) Taxes prior to July 1, 2010 except on account of Estimated Payments
related to payments due by Sublessee after such dates.
(e) All amounts payable by Sublessee to Sublessor pursuant to this Sublease including, without
limitation, Base Rent and all items of Additional Rent specified in this Section 3 collectively,
“Rent”), shall be deemed and constitute rent and, in the event of any non-payment thereof,
Sublessor shall have all of the rights and remedies provided herein and in the Prime Lease, as
incorporated herein, or in law or at equity for non-payment of rent.
(f) Any Rent due from Sublessee to Sublessor which is not paid within ten (10) days of the
date due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) in
excess of the rate announced from time to time as the prime rate of JPMC (or any successor thereto)
or (ii) the maximum rate allowable by law, from the due date until paid (the “Applicable
Rate”).
(g) In the event Sublessor or Sublessee commences any action or proceeding under this
Sublease, the successful party in the action shall be paid by the other party, in addition to any
damages (but subject to the limitations in Section 11(b) hereof) to which the successful party is
entitled, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the action including costs and reasonable
expenses of attorneys, accountants and other consultants.
SECTION 4. Electrical Energy; Condenser Water. Sublessee shall have the use of six (6)
▇▇▇▇▇ per usable square foot, demand load, on all floors of the Subleased Premises exclusive of
electricity serving the Building HVAC. Sublessor shall, at its sole cost and expense, install a
submeter on each floor of the Subleased Premises to measure Sublessee’s electrical consumption
which submeter shall be maintained by Sublessor at its sole cost and expense. Sublessee shall pay
Sublessor, as Additional Rent hereunder, within twenty-five (25) days of demand therefor, including
a copy of all bills or statements received by Landlord with respect thereto, the amounts payable by
Sublessor to Landlord (or to the Public Utility or Alternate Energy Provider, as applicable) under
Article 20 of the Prime Lease on account of electricity consumed in the Subleased Premises during
the Term. Sublessor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (but without any obligation to
incur any overtime or premium pay labor) to cause such submeters to be installed in the Subleased
Premises by no later than the Anticipated Commencement Date. Until such time as Sublessor has
caused submeters to measure the consumption of electrical energy to be installed in the Subleased
Premises as aforesaid, Sublessee shall pay for electrical service on the “rent inclusion” basis
provided in Section 20.03 of the Prime Lease with respect to those parts of the Subleased Premises
which are not submetered (it being agreed that for the purposes of said Section 20.03, as
incorporated herein, the term “Delivery Obligation” shall be deemed to mean the Commencement Date).
Sublessee will receive and pay for three tons of condenser water for each floor in the Subleased
Premises at $700/ton per annum increased proportionately to increases charged by the Board after
December 31, 2009. Sublessee will also pay $1,500 per tap as a one time charge for any tap in
addition to the existing tap.
SECTION 5. Use. Sublessee shall use and occupy the Subleased Premises for the
Authorized Use, as such term is defined in Section 31.19 of the Prime Lease, and for no other
purpose.
5
SECTION 6. Incorporation of Prime Lease.
(a) This Sublease and all of Sublessee’s rights and obligations hereunder are in all respects
subject and subordinate to the Prime Lease and all of the terms and conditions thereof (whether or
not incorporated by reference hereunder) and all leases, mortgages, deeds, deeds of trust or other
instruments and to all other matters to which the Prime Lease is or shall be subordinate and
modifications, amendments, restatements, renewals or consolidations thereof, provided, Sublessor
has in each instance demanded a non-disturbance agreement with respect to the Prime Lease with
respect to each such mortgage, lease, deed or other instrument to which it is entitled under the
Prime Lease. This section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall
be required to be executed by any party to effect such subordination; provided, however that
Sublessee, within ten (10) days of a written request therefor, shall execute any certificate that
Sublessor or Landlord may reasonably request from time to time to confirm such subordination.
(b) The Prime Lease is hereby incorporated into this Sublease in its entirety except as
hereinafter expressly set forth and except to the extent any provisions thereof do not relate to
the Subleased Premises or are inapplicable, inconsistent with, or modified by the terms of this
Sublease. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to
such terms in the Prime Lease, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Except as provided in
subsection (d) and Section 13 below, the rights and obligations contained in the Prime Lease with
respect to the Subleased Premises are, during the Term hereof hereby imposed upon the respective
parties hereto, Sublessor being substituted for “Landlord,” (except in the following: the elections

foregoing shall not relieve Sublessor of any of its obligations set forth in Section 6(e) of this
Sublease), “Sublessee” being substituted for “Tenant,” “Sublease” being substituted for “Lease”,

Section 15.01 of the Prime Lease as incorporated herein is amended to add an Event of Default
under any Direct Lease (defined in Section 22 below) as an Event of Default hereunder.
Section 17.01 of the Prime Lease as incorporated herein does not prohibit the Board or Unit
owners so authorized by the Board from erecting construction hoists from time to time and
connecting guy wires or braces to the Common Elements at the perimeter of the Subleased Premises
and Sublessee shall have no claim for compensation or abatement of rent on account of the presence
of such a hoist or connection. Sublessor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize
interference with Sublessee’s use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises in connection with any of
the activities described in this paragraph.
(c) Sublessee hereby assumes and agrees to be bound by and observe, fulfill and perform all of
the provisions, terms, covenants, conditions and obligations provided in the Prime Lease, to the
extent applicable to the Subleased Premises during the Term hereof, to bind and/or be observed,
fulfilled and/or performed by Sublessor, as tenant, thereunder and Sublessor shall have, for the
purposes of this Sublease, all of the rights, remedies, privileges and benefits granted to or
conferred upon Landlord, as landlord, under the Prime Lease (other than the Excluded Provisions, as
hereinafter defined, as to which Sublessee shall have no obligation). Sublessee acknowledges that
it has received a redacted copy of and has reviewed and is familiar with the Prime Lease.

the Sublease. No representations made by Landlord are repeated or adopted by Sublessor by reason of
this incorporation by reference; provided, however, Sublessor shall cooperate and enforce Tenant’s
rights with respect to representations made by Landlord in the Prime Lease or allow Sublessee to do
so under subparagraph (h) below.
7
(e) During the Term of this Sublease, Sublessee and the Subleased Premises
shall have the rights granted under the following Articles and Sections of the Prime Lease:
the second sentence of Section 18.01B(i) (which grants certain rights to reallocate HVAC capacity
within the Premises (which for purposes of the Sublease shall be deemed to refer solely to the
capacity available to the Subleased Premises), as more specifically provided therein); and Section
18.08A and Section 18.08B (which grants certain rights to use the Tenant Vertical Conveyor Shaft,
as more particularly provided therein, as to which Sublessee will have Sublessee’s Proportionate
Share of Sublessor’s share as tenant under the Prime Lease of the Tenant Vertical Conveyor shaft).
(f) Sublessor and Sublessee hereby agree that, if the actions of Sublessee shall be in breach
of the Condominium Documents then in effect with respect to the Subleased Premises, then the Board
shall have the power to enforce against Sublessee the terms of such Condominium Documents to the
extent the Board would be entitled to enforce the terms of such
Condominium Documents against Landlord.
(g) Sublessor is entering into this Sublease in its capacity as assignee of JPMC’s interest as
Tenant under the Prime Lease pursuant to an Assignment Agreement dated as of September 14, 2001 and
nothing herein shall be binding on Sublessor in its capacity as a Unit Owner in the 1166 A of A
Condominium (the “Condominium”) or as a party able to nominate a majority of the Board (“Control
Person”). Where pursuant to the Prime Lease Sublessor is entitled to contest or dispute a statement
or determination made by Landlord under the Prime Lease or to request the consent or approval of
the Board of the Condominium (the “Board”), Sublessor shall exercise such right or make such
request on Sublessee’s written request therefor in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (h)
below. Any such action taken by Sublessor shall be deemed to have been taken in its capacity as
Sublessor and shall not be binding on Sublessor in its capacity as Unit Owner or Control Person.
Any approval or consent of Sublessor under this Sublease shall be in its capacity as Sublessor and
not in its capacity as a Unit Owner or Control Person. The incorporation of the Prime Lease into
this Sublease, including, without limitation, the incorporation of Sections 5.07, 13.06, 18.09 of
the Prime Lease does not impose any obligation on Sublessor in its capacity as Unit Owner or
Control Person.
(h) Sublessor will cooperate with Sublessee, at Sublessee’s request, in enforcing the
Landlord’s responsibilities under the Prime Lease. Subject to the provisions of the second
paragraph of Section 13(c) hereof, such enforcement shall be at Sublessee’s sole expense except to
the extent that Sublessor has an interest in enforcing the same right with respect to other
portions of the Premises and in its discretion joins in such enforcement.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Sublessee
have any obligation whatsoever to perform (i) the covenants of Sublessor to pay the “Fixed Rent”
and “Additional Rent” (as such terms are defined in the Prime Lease) or any other sums, late fees,
interest and/or penalties payable by Sublessor to Landlord as a result of any default by Sublessor,
as tenant under the Prime Lease (other than a default under the Prime Lease caused by or resulting
from a default beyond any applicable notice or cure period by Sublessee under this Sublease).
Sublessee shall not be liable for nor have any obligation with respect to any financial obligations
of Sublessor in respect of the Subleased Premises accruing prior to the Commencement Date nor shall
it have any obligation arising from the Excluded Provisions.
8
SECTION 7. Condition of Subleased Premises. No warranties or representations,
expressed or implied, are made or intended to be made by Sublessor in respect of the Subleased
Premises, its physical condition, the uses to which the Subleased Premises may be put, or any other
matter pertaining thereto except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. Sublessee has inspected
and is familiar with the Subleased Premises, accepts the same “as is” and “where is,” in their
condition on the date hereof and Sublessor shall have no obligation to perform any alterations,
repairs, decoration or other work in or about the Subleased Premises to prepare the Subleased
Premises for Sublessee’s occupancy or for any other purpose except that Sublessor will, at its
sole cost and expense (i) provide Sublessee with an ACP-5 certificate on or prior to the
Commencement Date, (ii) install submeters in the Subleased Premises as provided in Section 4
hereof, (iii) put the perimeter induction units into good working order (convectors and grills to
be delivered “as is”), (iv) leave the existing furniture, and broom clean the Subleased Premises,
(v) cure any notices of violation posted through September 3, 2009 or cause them to be cancelled by
the issuing authority, (vi) put the existing HVAC infrastructure and ductwork in place into good
working order capable of meeting the Building HVAC specifications per the Prime Lease, and (vii)
provide access to the existing sub-panels for the Building Class E system.
SECTION 8. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) The following Sections of the Prime Lease are incorporated herein with “Sublessor” being
substituted for “Landlord”, “Sublessee” being substituted for “Tenant,” “Sublease” being
substituted for “Lease”, “Subleased Premises” being substituted for “Demised Premises” and “Base
Rent” being substituted for “Fixed Rent”: 10.01 except that in 10.01(d) “Westwood One Radio
Networks, Inc.” shall be substituted for “Chase”; 10.02C; 10.02D; 10.03; 10.04B; 10.04C; 10.05;
10.06; 10.08; 10.09; 10.10A, 10.10B; 10.10C; 10.12; 10.13; 10.14; 10.15.
(b) Sublessee may sublet or permit occupancy of all or part of the Subleased Premises, or
assign Sublessee’s entire interest in this Sublease and the leasehold estate hereby created, to a
corporation or other business entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is
under common control with, Sublessee (an “Affiliate”) without being required to obtain Sublessor’s
prior consent thereto, provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
(ii) Sublessee shall furnish Sublessor, within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such
transaction, with the name of such Affiliate together with a certification of Sublessee that such
subsublessee or assignee is an Affiliate of Sublessee and (iii) the Affiliate uses the Subleased
Premises for an Authorized Use. In connection with the information to be provided to Sublessor
pursuant to this subsection, Sublessor shall have the right, at any reasonable time and from time
to time, to request a certification of Sublessee and/or the Affiliate that such subsublessee
remains an Affiliate of Sublessee. Such subletting or assignment shall not be deemed to vest in any
such Affiliate any right or interest in this Sublease or the Subleased Premises (other than as a
subsublessee or assignee), nor shall it relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Sublessee’s
obligations hereunder. For the purposes of this section, the term “control” shall be deemed to mean
ownership of at least fifty (50%) percent of all of the voting stock of such corporation, or at
least fifty (50%) percent of all of the legal and equitable interest in any other business entity.
9
Notwithstanding the provisions of the subsection above, subject to Sublessee’s compliance with
all of the requirements set forth in this subsection, Sublessee may sublet all or part of the
Premises (consisting of at least a full floor) or assign or transfer Sublessee’s entire interest in
this Sublease and the leasehold estate hereby created to a “Successor Entity” of Sublessee (as
hereinafter defined), without being required to obtain Sublessor’s consent thereto, provided that
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the proposed Successor Entity
shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and shall be
subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the State of New York,
(iii) Sublessee shall furnish Sublessor, within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such
transaction, with the name of such Successor Entity, together with a certification of Sublessee
that such Sublessee or assignee is a Successor Entity of Sublessee, and (iv) either (i) the
tangible net worth of the Successor Entity shall be at least equal to that of Sublessee as of the
date of the proposed assignment or transfer, or (ii) such Successor Entity shall have
creditworthiness otherwise reasonably acceptable to Sublessor. The term “Successor Entity” shall
mean any of the following: (x) an entity into which or with which Sublessee shall be merged or
consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions for the merger or consolidation of
business entities, provided that (whether by operation of law or by effective provisions contained
in the instruments of merger or consolidation) the liabilities of Sublessee under this Sublease are
assumed by the entity surviving such merger or consolidation; or (y) an entity acquiring and
assuming this Sublease and the term hereof and the estate hereby granted, the goodwill and all or
substantially all of the other property and assets of Sublessee; or (z) any successor to a
Successor Entity becoming such by either of the methods described in clauses (x) and (y) above;
provided that, in each case, such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition and assumption, as
the case may be, shall be made for a good business purpose other than (and not principally for) the
purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby. In the case of a transfer of the
direct or indirect interests in Sublessee, such transfer shall be deemed not to constitute a
prohibited transfer of this Sublease if such transfer shall be made for a purpose other than (and
not principally for) the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby. The
Successor Entity must use the Subleased Premises only for an Authorized Use.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 8b above and Section 31.20 of the Prime Lease,
Sublessee may assign Sublessee’s entire interest in this Sublease or subsublease all or any portion
of the Subleased Premises, with the prior written consent of Sublessor which will not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned [but Sublessee acknowledges that the Board need not
be reasonable about a subletting of a partial floor]; provided further that the following
additional conditions (which shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the other terms,
conditions and requirements set forth elsewhere in this section) shall be satisfied:
(i) The proposed assignee or sub-sublessee shall not: (a) be a school of any kind, or a
placement agency or governmental or quasi-governmental agency, or a medical office or executive
recruitment office, or any retail establishment with off-the-street traffic, or (b) be entitled,
directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and the proposed assignee or
subsublessee shall be subject to service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the
State of New York;
10
(ii) The subletting or assignment shall be to a person whose occupancy will not impose any
material additional burden upon Sublessor in the operation of the Building, unless Sublessee agrees
to reimburse Sublessor for any additional out-of-pocket cost incurred by Sublessor resulting from
such additional burden;
(iii) The proposed assignee or sub-sublessee may only use the Subleased Premises for an
Authorized Use; and
(iv) The proposed assignee or sub-sublessee is not an occupant or affiliate of an occupant in
the Building units owned by the Sublessor or an entity or affiliate of an entity which has been in
bona fide term sheet negotiations with Sublessor in the prior three months, and Sublessor has
comparable available space similar in size, term and build-out to the portion of the Premises being
offered by Sublessee.
(d) Except for sublettings and assignments permitted hereunder and pursuant to Section 10.02A,
Section 10.02B and Section 10.16 of the Prime Lease, and subject to the terms of Section 31.20 of
the Prime Lease, Sublessee may not assign or otherwise transfer this Sublease, or sublet (including
permitting occupancy or use by another party) the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, without
giving Sublessor thirty (30) days prior written notice of Sublessee’s intention to assign this
Sublease or sublet all or any part of the Subleased Premises. In the event Sublessee seeks
permission to sublease a part of the Subleased Premises, the notice shall also identify the area of
the Subleased Premises Sublessee seeks to sublease. Sublessee’s notice shall identify the proposed
effective date of the transaction. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice of intent
to assign or sublease, Sublessor shall have the option, except for those sublettings or assignments
permitted in subsections (b) above, (i) to elect to terminate the Sublease, if Sublessee desires to
assign this Sublease, or (ii) if Sublessee desires to sublet a portion of the Subleased Premises
for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Sublease term, to terminate the Sublease with
regard to that portion of the Subleased Premises which Sublessee seeks to sublet. Sublessor may
exercise the option by giving Sublessee written notice of its election to exercise the option
within said thirty (30) day period.
The effective date of termination shall be the date set forth in Sublessee’s notice. Upon
termination, all of the rights and obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee under the terms of this
Sublease shall be terminated, or terminated with regard to that portion of the Subleased Premises
that Sublessee notified Sublessor that Sublessee desired to sublet, except that Sublessee shall
continue to be obligated to pay rent and all other charges for the Subleased Premises which accrue
to the date of termination.
11
If Sublessor does not exercise its option to terminate, Sublessee may assign this Sublease or
sublet all or any part of the Subleased Premises within one hundred eighty (180) days after the
date that the thirty (30) day period referenced above expires. Sublessee shall be required however
to obtain Sublessor’s prior written consent to any assignee or any subsublessee, which consent may
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, contingent upon the proposed assignee or
subsublessee being similar in character to other sublessees in the Building and (as to an
assignment or a sublease of all or substantially all of the Subleased Premises) financially
reliable. In the event that Sublessee fails to present to Sublessor any sublease or
assignment agreement, fully executed by the parties thereto, within said one hundred eighty
(180) day period, Sublessee may not assign this Sublease or sublet the Subleased Premises without
first affording Sublessor, by written notice stating Sublessee’s acknowledgement that it has failed
to so present such agreement, the option to terminate or sublease as previously provided for in
this section, except that Sublessor shall exercise the option by giving Sublessee written notice of
its election to exercise the option within five (5) business days from receipt of Sublessee’s
aforesaid notice. The process set forth in this subsection (d) shall continue until either (i)
Sublessee presents Sublessor with an executed sublease or assignment or (ii) Sublessor exercises
its recapture right.
(e) Sublessee shall reimburse to Sublessor, as Additional Rent, all actual reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which Sublessor incurs by
reason of or in connection with any assignment, sublease, proposed or granted by Sublessee (whether
or not permitted under this Sublease, but not including a recapture of space pursuant to this
Section), and all negotiations and actions with respect thereto, such Additional Rent to be due and
payable within thirty (30) days of receipt of a statement of such costs and expenses from
Sublessor.
(f) If any sublease, assignment or other transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise)
provides that the subsublessee, assignee or other transferee is to pay any amount in excess of the
sum of (i) the Rent due under this Sublease and (ii) the actual reasonable, out-of-pocket costs
(including brokerage commissions, sublessee improvement allowances, marketing costs, attorney’s
fees and construction costs) actually reasonably incurred and paid by Sublessee and free rent
allowed by Sublessee to the assignee or sublessee to obtain the assignment or sublease, which
amounts shall be amortized over the sublease or remaining Sublease Term, as applicable, then,
whether such excess is in the form of an increased monthly or annual rental, a lump sum payment,
payment for the sale, transfer or Sublease of Sublessee’s fixtures, leasehold improvements,
furniture and other personal property, or any other form (and if the subleased or assigned space
does not constitute the entire Subleased Premises, the existence of such excess shall be determined
on a pro rata basis), Sublessee shall pay fifty percent (50%) of any such excess actually received
by Sublessee from subsublessee to Sublessor as Additional Rent no later than ten (10) days after
Sublessee’s receipt thereof. Sublessor shall have the right to inspect and audit Sublessee’s books
and records relating to any sublease, assignment or other transfer upon reasonable prior written
notice to Sublessee and upon the execution of a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably
acceptable to Sublessee. Any reimbursement of security shall not be added to or considered as
consideration received by Sublessee under this section. This section shall only apply to any
sublease or assignment which requires Sublessor’s consent.
12
SECTION 9. Alterations and Improvements.
(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Section or with respect to Sublessee’s Initial Work
contemplated by Section 21, or in the Prime Lease, Sublessee shall make no Alterations in or to the
Subleased Premises, including removal or installation of partitions, doors, electrical
installations, plumbing installations, water coolers, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning or
cooling systems, units or parts thereof or other apparatus of like or other nature, whether
structural or non-structural, without the prior written consent of Sublessor, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that Landlord
gives any consent required of it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section, Sublessee shall have the right, on notice to Sublessor and without the consent of
Sublessor: (i) to perform painting, installation of wall coverings and carpet installation, and any
and all other decorating work that is to be performed entirely within the Subleased Premises; and
(ii) to make nonstructural interior alterations, additions and improvements which require no
building permit totaling less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in any single instance
or series of related alterations performed within a six-month period. For the avoidance of doubt,
minor decorative changes and additions such as the installation of art work and the installation of
curtains and other like items (not readily visible from the common areas of the Building or
from outside the Building) shall not require notice to the Sublessor or the consent of
Sublessor or the Board. Sublessee agrees that, with respect to any proposed Alteration for which
Sublessor’s consent is required, Sublessor may withhold consent (and Sublessor’s withholding of
such consent shall be deemed reasonable) to the performance thereof, or to any plans and
specifications prepared in connection therewith, but only if (a) an engineer reasonably selected by
Sublessor and reasonably approved by Sublessee shall reasonably determine that the performance of
such proposed Alteration or any of the plans and specifications prepared in connection therewith,
as the case may be, are not consistent with good engineering practice, or (b) such proposed
Alteration would have more than a de minimis adverse impact on any structural element of the
Building or Building Systems. Within sixty (60) days following completion of an Alteration,
Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor “as built” or “marked” drawings with respect to all
Alterations performed by Sublessee that Sublessee shall have caused to be prepared.
(b) It shall be Sublessee’s responsibility and obligation to ensure that all Sublessee’s
Alterations:
(i) shall be made at Sublessee’s own cost and expense (except to the extent funded by
Sublessor’s contribution under Section 21 of this Sublease),
(ii) shall comply with all Legal Requirements (including NYC Local Laws No. 5 of 1973, No. 16
of 1984 and No. 58 of 1988, each as amended from time to time, and all Legal Requirements then in
effect relating to access for the handicapped or disabled within the Subleased Premises) and all
orders, rules and regulations of Insurance Boards, and
(iii) shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner using good quality materials. In order to
ensure, maintain and control the quality and standards of materials and workmanship in and the
effective security of the Building and the Commercial Condominium, including the Subleased
Premises, Sublessee acknowledges that it is reasonable to require Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby
covenants and agrees, to use only general contractors, construction managers and subcontractors
(collectively, “Sublessee’s Contractors”) first approved in writing by Sublessor, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In addition, all Alterations
affecting the Building’s HVAC system or its electrical or mechanical connections shall only be
performed by Sublessee’s Contractors first approved by the Board.
13
All deliveries of construction materials must be made, at Sublessee’s expense, outside
Business Hours.
(c) Prior to commencing the performance of any Alterations for which consent of Sublessor is
required, Sublessee shall furnish to Sublessor, as applicable:
(i) Plans and specifications (to be prepared by a licensed architect or engineer engaged by
Sublessee, at the cost and expense of Sublessee), in sufficient detail to be accepted for filing by
the New York City Building Department (or any successor or other governmental agency serving a
similar function), of such proposed Alterations, and Sublessee shall not commence the performance
thereof unless and until Sublessor shall have given written consent to said plans and
specifications, which consent Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay,
subject to the provisions of Subsection 5.01A of the Prime Lease, within the time periods set forth
in Subsection 5.02D of the Prime Lease;
(ii) A certificate evidencing that Sublessee (or Sublessee’s Contractors) has (have) procured
and paid for worker’s compensation insurance covering all persons employed in connection with the
work who might assert claims for death or bodily injury against Landlord, Sublessor, the Board,
Sublessee, the Land and/or the Building;
(iii) A certificate evidencing that Sublessee (or Sublessee’s Contractors) has (have) procured
such additional personal injury and property damage insurance (over and above the insurance
required to be carried by Sublessee pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.03 of the Prime Lease),
and builders risk, fire and other casualty insurance as Sublessor or the Board may reasonably
require in connection with the work to be done for Sublessee commensurate with that which prudent
owners of other comparable buildings would require for comparable Alterations; and
(iv) Such permits, authorizations or consents as may be required by any applicable Legal
Requirements, all of which shall be obtained at Sublessee’s cost and expense (except to the extent
funded by Sublessor’s Contribution), provided, however, that (x) no plans, specifications or
applications with respect to an Alteration shall be filed by Sublessee with any governmental
authority without Sublessee first obtaining Sublessor’s written consent thereto, which consent
Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, and (y) if Sublessee shall so
reasonably request in writing, Sublessor shall join and request Landlord to join in applications
for any permits, approvals or certificates required to be obtained by Sublessee in order to perform
any permitted Alterations and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Sublessee in connection
therewith, provided that Sublessor shall not be required to incur any expense thereby (except if
and to the extent that Sublessor shall be reimbursed therefor pursuant to the provisions of
subsection (v) below), and that Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and
against any and all liability and damages suffered by Sublessor in connection therewith, except if
and to the extent that such liability and damages shall be caused by the negligence or wrongful
acts of Sublessor or by the negligence of Sublessor’s agents, contractors or employees; it being
agreed, however, that no negligence or wrongful acts shall be imputed to Sublessor or to
Sublessor’s agents, contractors or employees for accepting all applications and related information
submitted by Sublessee or by any person within Sublessee’s
control as being factually correct and complete.
14
(v) In the event that Sublessor shall submit the plans and specifications with respect to an
Alteration to outside architects and/or engineers hired by Sublessor to perform a review thereof,
Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor as Additional Rent for Sublessor’s actual out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with such review within thirty (30) days after written notice to
Sublessee of the amount of any such expense, accompanied by documentation reasonably supporting
such expense. Sublessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate Sublessor’s review
of such plans and specifications with the Landlord’s and Board’s review thereof (to the extent
applicable) so as to avoid duplication of the cost and timing of such review.
(vi) Sublessor shall reasonably cooperate with Sublessee in connection with any application
Sublessee may wish to make for an amendment to the Certificate of Occupancy which is consistent
with a primarily office occupancy of the Subleased Premises such as a public assembly use for a
large conference room, and shall execute and deliver any applications, reports or related documents
as may be reasonably requested by Sublessee in connection therewith, provided that the same shall
be accomplished without Sublessor being required to incur any actual out-of-pocket cost or expense
thereby. If such cooperation by Sublessor shall result in any actual out-of-pocket cost or expense
to Sublessor (including reasonable attorney fees and disbursements), Sublessee shall nonetheless
have the right to require Sublessor’s cooperation in connection therewith, provided that Sublessee
shall reimburse Sublessor for such actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses, as Additional Rent,
within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. Sublessee shall also indemnify and hold Sublessor
harmless from and against any and all liability and damages suffered by Sublessor in connection
therewith, except if and to the extent that such liability and damages shall be caused by the
negligence of Sublessor or by the negligence of Sublessor’s agents or employees; it being agreed,
however, that no negligence shall be imputed to Sublessor or to Sublessor’s agents or employees for
accepting all applications and related information submitted by Sublessee or by any person within
Sublessee’s control as being factually correct and complete. Sublessor makes no representation to
Sublessee as to whether or when the New York City Building Department will issue any amended
Certificate of Occupancy desired by Sublessee, and Sublessee agrees that (a) Sublessor shall have
no obligation to ensure that the New York City Building Department does issue such an amended
Certificate of Occupancy, and (b) Sublessor shall have no liability to Sublessee for any failure by
the New York City Building Department to issue such an amended Certificate of Occupancy unless such
failure is due to the negligence of Sublessor or its agents, employees or persons within the
control of Sublessor.
(vii) Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any plans
and specifications proposed on behalf of Sublessor; provided, however, that Sublessor shall not be
obligated to approve any such proposed plans and specifications until Sublessor shall have received
all plans and specifications that are appropriate for the scope of work to which they relate. With
respect to Sublessee’s Initial Work, Sublessor agrees to respond to Sublessee’s architectural
drawings within 10 business days and will cause its engineers to respond to Sublessee’s engineering
drawings within 10 business days if the drawings do not present any complex issues which differ
materially from those presented by the Subleased
Premises as presently improved. Sublessor will endeavor to shorten the said response periods
and will instruct those doing the architectural and engineering review to give informal,
non-binding reviews to incomplete submissions. Further, if Sublessee uses Sublessor’s approved
engineers, the review period for engineering will be five (5) business days.
15
(viii) If the Board or Landlord shall have any rights to approve any plans and specifications
submitted (or resubmitted) by Sublessee, Sublessor shall submit such plans and specifications to
the Board or Landlord upon Sublessor’s receipt thereof, or, upon advising Sublessor thereof,
Sublessee may submit such plans directly to the Board or Landlord. Sublessee accepts that some
approvals and assistance contemplated under this Section will require approval or assistance by the
Landlord or the Board which may be beyond Sublessor’s control.
(ix) Sublessee will pay Sublessor’s or the Board’s reasonably incurred third-party cost to
supervise the cost of performing the Alterations.
(d) Sublessee shall not be obligated to remove any Alterations or Specialty Alterations
existing in the Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date, and shall only be obligated to
remove those Specialty Alterations installed by Subtenant during the Term which are so designated
by Sublessor, in writing, to be removed; provided, however, that such written designation is
requested and received by Subtenant prior to installation of any such Specialty Alterations in the
Subleased Premises.
SECTION 10. Indemnification.
(a) Without limiting the generality of anything provided in this Sublease, it is expressly
acknowledged and agreed that by virtue of the incorporation of the Prime Lease pursuant to Section
6(b) of this Sublease, the rights and obligations set forth in Article 11 of the Prime Lease shall
be binding on and applicable to Sublessee with respect to Sublessor, Landlord and the Board and
shall be binding on and applicable to Sublessor with respect to Sublessee, Landlord and the Board.
It is expressly understood that the rights and obligations of Sublessee and Sublessor set forth in
this Section 10 are intended to be, and shall be, applicable only in connection with this Sublease,
the Demised Premises and the Subleased Premises and shall not be applicable to Sublessee or
Sublessor in any capacity other than as Sublessee and Sublessor, respectively, under this Sublease.
(b) Nothing contained in this Section 10 shall modify or affect the provisions of Section 11
below. Neither Sublessor nor Sublessee shall be liable for consequential damages under any
provision of this Sublease.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall (i) Sublessee
(or any Person claiming by, through or under Sublessee) make any claim against the direct or
indirect shareholders, officers, directors, individuals, employees, partners or affiliates of
Sublessor for any deficiency, nor shall any direct or indirect shareholders, officers, directors,
individuals, employees, partners or affiliates of Sublessor or Landlord have or be subject to levy,
attachment or other enforcement of a remedy sought by Sublessee or anyone claiming by, through or
under Sublessee for any breach or claim hereunder or (ii) Sublessor (or
any Person claiming by, through or under Sublessor) make any claim against the direct or
indirect shareholders, officers, directors, individuals, employees, partners or affiliates of
Sublessee for any deficiency, nor shall any direct or indirect shareholders, officers, directors,
individuals, employees, partners or affiliates of Sublessee be subject to levy, attachment or other
enforcement of a remedy sought by Sublessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Sublessor for
any breach or claim hereunder.
16
SECTION 11. Insurance.
(a) Sublessee shall obtain and keep in full force and effect during the term of this Sublease
at its own cost and expense insurance meeting all of the requirements of Article 8 of the Prime
Lease protecting Landlord, Sublessor and the Board as additional insureds with respect to claims
arising from Sublessee’s use and/or occupancy of the Subleased Premises or from the acts or
omissions of those for whom in the circumstances Sublessee is responsible in law and shall waive
claim against and procure waivers of subrogation against Sublessor, Landlord and the Board as
therein provided. Sublessee shall pay all premiums and charges therefor and upon failure to do so
Landlord or Sublessor, as the case may be, may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payments,
and in such latter event Sublessee agrees to pay the amount thereof to Sublessor within ten (10)
business days after demand and said sum shall be deemed to be Additional Rent and in each instance
collectible on the first day of any month following the date of notice to Sublessee in the same
manner as though it were Rent originally reserved hereunder.
(b) Commencing on the Commencement Date, the original insurance policies or appropriate
certificates shall be deposited with Sublessor together with any renewals, replacements or
endorsements to the end that said insurance shall be in full force and effect for the benefit of
Landlord, the Board and Sublessor during the Term. In the event Sublessee shall fail to procure and
place such insurance, Landlord or Sublessor may, but shall not be obligated to, procure and place
same, in which event the amount of the premium paid shall be refunded by Sublessee to Sublessor or
Landlord, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after demand and shall in each instance be
collectible on the first day of the month or any subsequent month following the date of payment by
Landlord or Sublessor, in the same manner as though said sums were Rent reserved hereunder.
SECTION 12. Destruction, Fire and other Casualty; Condemnation. If the whole or any
part of the Subleased Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and the Prime Lease is
not terminated on account thereof by either Landlord or Sublessor, Sublessor will cancel the Prime
Lease or allow Sublessee to cancel this Sublease as to any full floor in the Subleased Premises as
to which Sublessor would be entitled to terminate the Prime Lease if Sublessee exercises the right
within 15 days after Sublessor delivers to Sublessee, without undue delay upon receipt from
Landlord, a copy of the Contractor’s Estimate pursuant to Article 9 of the Prime Lease. As to any
floor as to which the Sublease is not so cancelled this Sublease shall remain in full force and
effect, provided, however, that (i) if and to the extent that Sublessor is entitled to an abatement
of or credit against Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent under the Prime Lease with respect to
the portion of the Premises comprising the Subleased Premises, Sublessee shall be entitled to a
corresponding abatement of or credit against the Base Rent and
Additional Rent payable under Section 3 of this Sublease. If the whole or any part of the
Subleased Premises shall be lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for any public or
quasi-public use and the Prime Lease is not terminated on account thereof by either Landlord or
Sublessor pursuant to Article 12 thereof, this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect and
Rent shall not ▇▇▇▇▇ except to the extent Sublessor is entitled to an abatement of or credit
against Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent under the terms of the Prime Lease with respect to
the portion of the Premises comprising the Subleased Premises.
17
SECTION 13. Sublessor’s Obligations.
(a) Sublessee agrees that, notwithstanding the incorporation by reference of terms of the
Prime Lease which under Article 6 would impose duties on Sublessor, except as expressly provided in
this Sublease, to the extent Landlord fails or refuses to perform its obligations or to provide
services under the Prime Lease or the Board fails or refuses to perform its obligations or to
provide services under the Condominium Documents, Sublessor shall not be obligated to perform such
obligations and Sublessor shall have no liability or obligation with respect thereto. Sublessee
agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, no failure or delay on the part of
Landlord in the performance of any obligation under the Prime Lease, or failure or delay by the
Board, to supply any service or to make any repairs or replacements or to take any other action
with respect to the Subleased Premises or the Building shall give rise to any claim against
Sublessor for damages or constitute a total or partial eviction, nor shall this Sublease or the
obligations of the Sublessee hereunder to pay Rent hereunder and to perform and observe all of the
other obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements on the part of Sublessee contained in this
Sublease be thereby affected in any manner whatsoever, provided, however, that if and to the extent
that Sublessor is entitled to an abatement of or credit against Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional
Rent under Section 6.02 of the Prime Lease or any other provision of the Prime Lease with respect
to the portion of the Premises comprising the Subleased Premises, Sublessee shall be entitled to a
corresponding abatement of or credit against Base Rent and Additional Rent payable under this
Sublease.
(b) Sublessor, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, shall not be obligated to
perform and shall not be liable for the performance by Landlord of any of the obligations of
Landlord under the Prime Lease or obligations of the Board under the Condominium Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sublessor makes no representation and is not obligated to
perform Landlord’s obligations with respect to hazardous materials under Article 7 of the Prime
Lease (excluding the obligation to deliver an ACP-5 certificate in accordance with Section 7 of
this Sublease) except to the extent that Sublessor caused or permitted hazardous materials to be
brought in the Building. Sublessee, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, shall have no
claim against Sublessor by reason of any default upon the part of Landlord or the Board and,
nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Sublessee to represent Sublessor in
connection with any suit or claim by or against Landlord or the Board except as herein specifically
set forth.
18
(c) Sublessor, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, shall have no obligation during
the term of this Sublease to render any services to Sublessee in or to the Subleased Premises of
any nature whatsoever or to expend any money for the preservation or
repair of the Subleased Premises. Sublessee, except as expressly provided in this Sublease,
agrees to look solely to Landlord for the furnishing of any services to which Sublessor may be
entitled under the Prime Lease and solely to the Board for the furnishing of any services to which
Sublessor may be entitled under the Condominium Documents. Sublessor agrees to cooperate with
Sublessee, and to use its reasonable efforts and diligently pursue, without, however, incurring any
liabilities or expenses not otherwise provided for in the Prime Lease or this Sublease, by taking
whatever action shall be reasonably required, to enforce for the benefit of Sublessee the
obligations of Landlord to Sublessor under the Lease, or the Board under the Condominium Documents,
insofar as they relate to the Subleased Premises. Subject to the provisions of the next paragraph,
all out-of-pocket expenses of Sublessor (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees and
disbursements) arising from Sublessor’s action taken pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
reimbursed by Sublessee within thirty (30) days after demand, together with reasonable back-up
documentation with respect thereto. Sublessor, without cost to Sublessor, shall communicate with
Landlord or the Board, orally or in writing, concerning matters related to the Subleased Premises
as Sublessee may from time to time reasonably request and shall (y) diligently pursue such matter
(to the extent permitted hereunder) and (x) keep Sublessee reasonably advised on the progress of
such matters.
If, after written request from Sublessee, Sublessor shall fail or refuse to take appropriate
action for the enforcement of Sublessor’s rights against Landlord with respect to the Subleased
Premises, Sublessee shall have the right to take such action in its own name, and for such purpose
and only to such extent, all of the rights of Sublessor under the Prime Lease are hereby conferred
upon and conditionally assigned to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby is subrogated to such rights to
the extent that the same shall apply to the Subleased Premises; provided, however, that
(i) Sublessee shall only have such rights if Sublessee shall not be in default under this Sublease
beyond any applicable notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, and (ii) Sublessor
shall have the right to require Sublessee to discontinue such action if in the reasonable opinion
of Sublessor such action may cause a cancellation, forfeiture or termination of the Prime Lease or
Sublessor’s estate and rights thereunder with respect to the Subleased Premises. If any such
action against Sublessor in Sublessee’s name shall be barred by reason of lack of privity,
non-assignability or otherwise, Sublessee may take such action in Sublessor’s name provided that
copies of all papers and notices of all proceedings shall be promptly given to Sublessor so that
Sublessor may be kept fully informed in respect thereof at all times. In connection with the
foregoing, Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all loss,
cost, damage, expense or liability (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) incurred by Sublessor by reason of any action by Sublessee against Landlord, such
indemnity shall survive the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Sublease.
Any recovery (net of the costs of obtaining such recovery apportioned as described below)
obtained against Landlord in connection with a default under the Prime Lease, or any abatement,
credit, set-off or offset (collectively referred to herein as a “Recovery”), to the extent it
relates to an obligation of Landlord which is, by the provisions of this Sublease, intended to
benefit Sublessee and/or the Subleased Premises, during or after the Term, shall be the property of
Sublessee and Sublessee shall have the right to any such Recovery. To the extent that Sublessor or
Sublessee, as the case may be, shall receive any benefit from a Recovery, Sublessee
shall pay a percentage of the cost incurred in connection with obtaining such Recovery in an amount
equal to the product of (i) the total costs incurred in obtaining the Recovery and (ii) a fraction,
the numerator of which is equal to the amount of the Recovery benefiting each party and the
denominator of which is equal to the sum of the Recovery benefiting Sublessor and the Recovery
benefiting Sublessee. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of the Term.
19
(d) If Sublessee shall require heat, ventilation and air-conditioning service during HVAC
Overtime Periods, the written notice required under Section 18.0l(B)(vi) of the Prime Lease for
such service shall be given by Sublessee to Sublessor: (a) prior to 1:00 p.m. of the same Business
Day, in the case of service during HVAC Overtime Periods on Business Days; (b) prior to 10:00 a.m.
on the immediately preceding Friday, in the case of service during HVAC Overtime Periods on
Saturday or Sunday; and (c) prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding a
Holiday, in the case of service during HVAC Overtime Periods on a Holiday. Sublessee will pay $650
per hour per floor for HVAC Overtime Periods, such charge to increase in proportion to the Board’s
charge increases after December 31, 2009. Sublessor shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate
Subtenant’s requests for such service during the HVAC Overtime Periods when such requests fall
outside of the foregoing deadlines. If Landlord shall consent in writing, Sublessee shall be
entitled to request the foregoing HVAC service directly from the Board (subject to the time periods
for such requests set forth in the Prime Lease). If Sublessee shall require freight elevator,
loading dock and/or truck elevator service during Overtime Periods, Sublessee shall request such
service directly from the Board. Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor for any amounts charged to
Sublessor by Landlord and/or the Board in connection with the provision of the services identified
in this subparagraph (d), and Sublessor shall not add a ▇▇▇▇-up or administrative fee or other
charge to amounts so charged by Landlord and/or the Board.
(e) The parties acknowledge that Sublessor has elected under Section 18.01 of the Prime Lease
that Landlord not clean the Premises and Sublessor shall provide cleaning services to the Subleased
Premises by Sublessor’s cleaning service contractor during any Self-Cleaning Period (as such term
is defined in the Lease), such cleaning service to be provided in accordance with the terms of
Schedule 5 hereto. In the event that Sublessor elects that Landlord resume furnishing cleaning
services to the Subleased Premises (which election shall be made in Sublessor’s sole discretion),
Sublessor shall give written notice to Sublessee at the time of such election.
(f) (i) Sublessor agrees that prior to the Expiration Date it shall not (A) surrender or
terminate the Prime Lease, except after casualty or condemnation as provided therein nor shall
Sublessor amend or modify the Prime Lease, or waive any provision of the Prime Lease or (B) consent
(where Sublessor’s consent or approval (in its capacity as Sublessor and not a Control Person) is
required) to any amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of the Prime Lease, the
Condominium Documents, the Declaration or any other instrument to which this Sublease is subject
to, in each instance, in any manner that could increase the obligations of Sublessee hereunder or
could adversely affect the rights or benefits of Sublessee hereunder, without obtaining in each
case Sublessee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
20
(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Sublessor desires to enter into a “lease
buyout agreement” or similar arrangement with Landlord prior to the Expiration Date, and provided
that such agreement with Landlord expressly provides that as a condition to such surrender and/or
termination Landlord shall accept Sublessee as a direct tenant of Landlord with respect to the
entire Subleased Premises pursuant to a new lease on the same executory terms and conditions as are
set forth in this Sublease, then Sublessor shall have the right to terminate and/or surrender the
Prime Lease. From and after the date of such termination and/or surrender and the acceptance by
Landlord of Sublessee as a direct tenant of Landlord, Sublessor and Sublessee shall have no further
obligations or liability hereunder except with respect to those provisions of this Sublease that by
their terms survive the Expiration Date hereof.
(g) No limitation on Sublessor’s obligations or liability set forth in this Section 13
relating to a failure or refusal by Landlord to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease or to
a failure or refusal by the Board to perform its obligations under the Condominium Documents shall
be effective if such failure or refusal by Landlord or the Board, as applicable, is the result of
either (i) Sublessor’s failure to enforce for the benefit of Sublessee the obligations of Landlord
to Sublessor under the Prime Lease, or the obligations of the Board under the Condominium
Documents, as applicable, as required under subsection (c) above, or (ii) Sublessor’s default
(beyond applicable notice and cure periods) under the Prime Lease or the Condominium Documents, as
applicable, where such default is not the result of Sublessee’s default under this Sublease. In
furtherance of the foregoing, Sublessor agrees to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease and
Condominium Documents except to the extent its failure to perform is due to a default by Sublessee
beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period under this Sublease.
SECTION 14. Notices. Any notice required or desired to be given to any party hereto

obtained) or by nationally recognized overnight courier or by certified mail, return receipt
requested, and shall be addressed to the parties hereto at their addresses as set forth below or to

SECTION 15. Incorporation. This Sublease, the Prime Lease (as incorporated by
reference under Section 6 hereof), the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto contain the entire
agreement between the parties as to the subject matter hereof and any agreement hereafter made
shall be ineffective to change, modify or discharge it in whole or in part unless such agreement is
in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification or
discharge is sought. Sublessee shall not record this Sublease.
SECTION 16. Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns, etc. The covenants, conditions
and agreements contained in this Sublease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Sublessor and
Sublessee and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
SECTION 17. Execution of Sublease. This Sublease is submitted to Sublessee for
signature with the understanding that it shall not bind Sublessor or Sublessee unless and until it
is duly executed by both Sublessee and Sublessor, the conditions regarding the Board’s approval of
this Sublease and other conditions referred to in Section 23 shall have been satisfied and an
executed copy of this Sublease is delivered to Sublessee.
22
SECTION 18. Broker. Sublessee represents and warrants that it has not hired,
retained or dealt with any finder, consultant, broker, firm or salesman in connection with this
Sublease other than CB ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Wakefield (“Brokers”). Sublessee shall
defend, indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all claims for brokerage
fees or other commissions or fees which may at any time be asserted against the Sublessor founded
upon a claim that the aforesaid representation and warranty of Sublessee is untrue, together with
any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements) relating to such claims or arising therefrom or incurred by Sublessor in connection
with the enforcement of this indemnification provision except that Sublessee shall have no
obligation to indemnify Sublessor on account of any claim made by the Brokers.
Sublessor represents and warrants that it has not hired, retained or dealt with any finder,
consultant, broker, firm or salesman in connection with this Sublease, other than the Brokers.
Sublessor shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublessee harmless from and against any and all claims
for brokerage fees or other commissions or fees which may at any time be asserted against the
Sublessee founded upon a claim that the aforesaid representation and warranty of Sublessor is
untrue, together with any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements) relating to such claims or arising therefrom or incurred by
Sublessee in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification provision.
SECTION 19. Consents. In all provisions of the Prime Lease requiring the approval or
consent of Landlord, or in the Condominium Documents requiring the approval or consent of the
Board, Sublessee shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of Landlord and the Board, as
applicable, and, except as otherwise provided herein Sublessor. Sublessor’s refusal to consent to
or approve any matter or thing whenever Sublessor’s consent or approval is required under this
Sublease or under the Prime Lease as incorporated herein (including, without limitation, any
consent of Landlord required in connection with any Alterations that may be proposed by Sublessee)
shall be deemed reasonable if Landlord has refused or failed to give its consent or approval to
such matter or thing (to the extent such consent or approval is required) and is not deemed to have
consented thereto under the terms of the Prime Lease, or the Board has refused or failed to give
its consent or approval under the Condominium Documents, provided that Sublessor shall have in good
faith requested such consent or approval from Landlord, or the Board, as the case may be, within a
reasonable period of time after receiving Sublessee’s request, and provided further that if the
Landlord’s consent or approval has been given, Sublessor’s consent or approval shall be deemed
given in its capacity as Sublessor and not as Control Person and not separately required. Wherever
possible, Sublessor shall coordinate the review of any such request by Sublessee for approval or
consent with any review of such request by Landlord required under the Prime Lease and/or any
review of such request by the Board required under the Condominium Documents, so as to minimize and
avoid duplication of the cost and timing of such reviews. Sublessor agrees to diligently pursue
any request for approval or consent hereunder in good faith.
To the extent Sublessor has the right to arbitrate the reasonableness of Landlord’s denial of
consent under Section 11.05 of the Prime Lease, or under an SNDA that Sublessor has the benefit of
with respect to the Board, Sublessor shall promptly exercise such right on the request of Sublessee
and diligently pursue the same in the event of a denial of consent by Landlord or the Board, as
the case may be. All out-of-pocket expenses of Sublessor (including, but not
limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) arising from Sublessor’s action taken
pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall be reimbursed by Sublessee to Sublessor within twenty
five (25) days of demand.
23
Sublessor, as Tenant under the Prime Lease but not as Control Person, and Sublessee agree to
act in a commercially reasonable manner in giving or withholding consents or expressions of
approval required of them hereunder.
SECTION 20. Time Limits. The parties agree that the time limits set forth in the
Prime Lease for the giving of notices, making demands, performance of any act, condition or
covenant, or the exercise of any right, remedy or option, are modified for the purposes of this
Sublease by lengthening or shortening the same in each instance by three (3) Business Days (or in
the case of time limits of three (3) Business Days or less, by shortening the same by one (1)
Business Day), as the case may be, so that notices may be given, demands made, any act, condition
or covenant performed, and any right or remedy hereunder exercised, by Sublessor or Sublessee, as
the case may be, within the time limits relating thereto contained in the Prime Lease, provided in
no event shall the foregoing calculation result in shorting of a period of time for Sublessee to
act such that it is less than one (1) Business Day. Sublessee shall, not later than three (3)
Business Days after receipt thereof, furnish to Sublessor a copy of each notice, demand or other
written communication received from Landlord or the Board which relates to the Subleased Premises
or any other portion of the Building and Sublessor shall, not later than three (3) Business Days
after receipt thereof, furnish to Sublessee a copy of each notice, demand or other written
communication received from Landlord or the Board which relates to the Subleased Premises. The
notification period of one (1) year between Landlord and Sublessor as tenant in Section 5.02C(i) of
the Prime Lease shall be reduced to nine (9) months vis-à-vis Sublessor’s notification to
Sublessee.
SECTION 21. Allowance.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Sublessor agrees to provide a
construction allowance (“Sublessor’s Contribution”) to reimburse Sublessee for a portion of the
cost expended by Sublessee to perform Sublessee’s Initial Work to prepare the Subleased Premises
for its occupancy, in an aggregate amount of One Million Seven Hundred Fifty-eight Thousand Three
Hundred Seventy-five ($1,758,375.00) DOLLARS. Sublessee shall have the right to use Sublessor’s
Contribution either in part or in its entirety for any portion of the Subleased Premises.
Sublessor shall fund Sublessor’s Contribution requisitioned in the manner set forth in Subsections
21(b) and 21(c) below, but only if all of the following conditions shall have been satisfied in all
material respects:
(i) An Event of Default shall not have occurred as of the date of Sublessee’s request for
payment; and
(ii) Sublessee shall have delivered to Sublessor a completed requisition for payment certified
by Sublessee or Sublessee’s architect stating or accompanied by: (a) the amount being requested,
(b) either (x) invoices then due and payable in connection with the
design and construction of the Subleased Premises as part of Sublessee’s Initial Work that
relate to such requisition, or (y) a statement from Sublessee that Sublessee has paid such
invoices, (c) that the work to which such requisition relates has been performed in good and
workmanlike manner substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefore and in
compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (d) with respect to all requisitions made by Sublessee
subsequent to the first requisition made by Sublessee pursuant to this subdivision 21(a)(ii),
either (1) receipted invoices for all labor and materials that were the subject of the immediately
preceding requisition, or (2) a statement from Sublessee that such invoices were paid.
24
(b) Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor Sublessor’s actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs
associated with the review and approval of any plans or construction documents for Sublessee’s
Initial Work and Sublessor may deduct from any pay-out amount of Sublessor’s Contribution showing
reasonable evidence of such costs.
(i) Provided that Sublessee shall have complied with all of the conditions set forth in the
foregoing Subsection 21(a), Sublessor shall in accordance with the provisions of subsection
21(b)(ii) below, either (a) within ten (10) Business Days deliver to Sublessee a written notice
that Sublessor disputes Sublessee’s right to be paid all or a portion of the requisitioned amount
(“Sublessor’s Requisition Dispute Notice”), which Sublessor’s Requisition Dispute Notice shall set
forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such dispute and the amount in dispute, or (b) pay to
Sublessee (or, at Sublessee’s express written direction, but subject to the provisions of
Subsection 21(d) below, directly to Sublessee’s general contractor) the requisitioned amount (or
the undisputed portion of the requisitioned amount), provided, however, that (x) the aggregate of
all such payments by Sublessor shall not exceed the amount of Sublessor’s Contribution, and (y)
Sublessor shall not be required to make more than one (1) payment per calendar month and (z) if
Sublessor shall reasonably so require, the disbursements required to be made by Sublessor pursuant
to this Section 21 shall be subject to a retention ten (10%) percent (but in no event an amount
greater than $100,000) until Sublessee’s Initial Work shall have been finally and fully completed
and lien waivers delivered.
(ii) If Sublessee shall deliver the requisition for payment required by subdivision 21(a)(ii)
above, then, unless, within ten (10) days thereafter, Sublessor shall have delivered a Sublessor’s
Requisition Dispute Notice to Sublessee, Sublessor shall pay to Sublessee the requisitioned amount
(or undisputed portion thereof) not more than thirty (30) days immediately following Sublessee’s
delivery of such requisition for payment to Sublessor.
(c) Sublessee shall have the right to use Sublessor’s Contribution, in such manner as
Sublessee shall solely determine, for the design and construction of the Subleased Premises
including, without limitation, demolition, cabling and wiring work, and the purchase and
installation of furnishings, fixtures and equipment; provided, however, that any portion of
Sublessor’s Contribution that is not used for reimbursement of Sublessee’s actually incurred costs
in connection with Sublessee’s Initial Work or any of the other foregoing costs may be applied
toward Base Rent or Additional Rent under this Sublease, in Sublessee’s discretion, once the
Initial Work has been completed and lien waivers delivered.
25
(d) At the written direction of Sublessee and provided that Sublessee shall
have complied with all of the provisions of this Section 21 related to a request for payment
of a portion or portions of Sublessor’s Contribution, Sublessor shall pay such portion or portions
of Sublessor’s Contribution directly to Sublessee’s general contractor, provided that: (i) such
contractor acknowledges in writing to Sublessor in advance of such payment that (x) such contractor
has no agreement or privity of contract with Sublessor, (y) Sublessor’s only obligation for payment
of Sublessor’s Contribution is to Sublessee, and that such contractor is not a third party
beneficiary under this Lease, and (z) such contractor provides Sublessor with a general release and
waiver of liability in connection with such payment, in a form reasonably satisfactory to
Sublessor; and (ii) Sublessee indemnifies and holds Sublessor harmless from and against any claims,
losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements)
incurred by Sublessor as a result of such general contractor or any other subcontractors making a
claim against Sublessor because Sublessor has agreed to pay a portion or portions of Sublessor’s
Contribution directly to such general contractor.
(e) If Sublessor shall deliver to Sublessee a Sublessor’s Requisition Dispute Notice, then
Sublessee shall have the right to submit such dispute to expedited arbitration, in accordance with
the provisions of this Lease, to determine whether Sublessee’s claim of an alleged Sublessor
default in connection with the payment of such portion of Sublessor’s Contribution is valid. If
Sublessee shall prevail in such arbitration proceeding, or if Sublessor shall fail to timely
deliver a Sublessor’s Requisition Dispute Notice with respect to all or any portion of the
installment of Sublessor’s Contribution requested and fail to timely pay to Sublessee all or any
portion of the installment of Sublessor’s Contribution then due, then Sublessee shall have the
right to offset against the next installment of Base Rent and Additional Rent an amount equal to
such portion of Sublessor’s Contribution which Sublessor failed to pay to Sublessee, together with
interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date that Sublessor was first obligated to disburse
said portion of Sublessor’s Contribution until the date that the same shall be fully paid or
offset; provided, however, that, in the case of all disputed amounts, Sublessee shall in no event
have the right to apply such offset during the first ten (10) Business Days following the rendering
of the arbitrator’s decision, and such offset right shall only be available to Sublessee if
Sublessor shall not have made the required payment to Sublessee prior to the expiration of said ten
(10) Business Day period, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date that
said installment first came due until the date that the same is fully paid.
SECTION 22. Security. Simultaneously herewith Sublessee has delivered to Sublessor
the guaranty of Westwood One, Inc. in the form of Exhibit C hereto and by 5:00 p.m. January
11, 2010 will deliver to Sublessor a letter of credit in the form of Exhibit D hereto
(“L/C”). If the L/C is not delivered to Sublessor by 5:00 p.m. on January 11, 2010 (or cash in
lieu thereof), that will be an automatic default by Sublessee under the Sublease requiring no
notice of default from Sublessor and, in addition to all other remedies Sublessor may have in law
or in equity, Sublessor shall have the right to exclude Sublessee and all of Sublessee’s
Contractors and subcontractors from the Building and that Sublessor’s direct damages incurred by
reason of such default shall include restoration of the Subleased Premises to the condition thereof
before Sublessee was given early occupancy. Sublessee may not requisition any portion of the
Sublessor’s Contribution until the LC has been delivered. If Sublessee has not theretofore
defaulted under this Sublease beyond any applicable grace period with respect to any material
covenant (e.g., without limitation, non-payment of obligations in excess of $10,000 in the
aggregate, an unapproved assignment, subletting or alteration or an act or omission which exposes
Landlord to claims under Regulations or from third parties), Sublessor will consent to the
reduction of the amount of the L/C to $500,000 on October 1, 2015.
26
SECTION 23. Sublease Conditional. Sublessee and Sublessor acknowledge and agree that
this Sublease is expressly conditioned upon the unconditional execution and delivery of the prior
written consent of the Board to this Sublease in the form of the Board Consent attached hereto as
Exhibit B. When this condition has been met, Sublessee will be granted access to the
Subleased Premises to commence Alterations.
SECTION 24. Miscellaneous. (a) Sublessor and Sublessee each represents and warrants
to the other that the execution, delivery and performance by such party of this Sublease are within
its powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not contravene such
party’s organizational documents.
(b) Submission of this Sublease for examination shall not bind Sublessor in any manner nor be
construed as an offer to sublease, and no agreement or obligations of Sublessor shall arise until
this Sublease is executed by both Sublessor and Sublessee and delivery is made to each of them, and
each of the agreements referred to in Section 23 above, have been unconditionally executed and
delivered.
(c) This Sublease may be executed in counterparts, any one of which or all of which shall be
