CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations, or forecasts, of future events.  Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts.  Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements.  Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.  Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.  We undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this Quarterly Report, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.  You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

our anticipated future results of operations and operating cash flows;
our business strategies and investment policies;
our financing plans and the availability of short- or long-term borrowing, or equity financing;
our competitive position and the effects of competition on our business;
potential growth opportunities available to us;
the recruitment and retention of our employees;
our expected levels of compensation for our employees;
our potential operating performance, achievements, efficiency, and cost reduction efforts;
our expected tax rate;
changes in interest rates;
our expectation with respect to the economy, capital markets, the market for asset management services, and other industry trends; and
the impact of future legislation and regulation, and changes in existing legislation and regulation, on our business.
The reports that we file with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov , identify additional factors that can affect forward-looking statements.

(the “Company”) functions as the sole managing member of its operating company, Pzena Investment Management, LLC (the “operating company”).   As a result, the Company: (i) consolidates the financial results of the operating company and reflects the membership interests that it does not own as a non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements; and (ii) recognizes income generated from its economic interest in the operating company’s net income.
 
The operating company is an investment adviser which is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and is headquartered in New York, New York.  As of June 30, 2014 , the operating company managed assets in a variety of value-oriented investment strategies across a wide range of market capitalizations in both U.S. and non-U.S. capital markets.

Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation:
 
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and related Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations.  Certain investment vehicles the operating company sponsors and is the investment advisor for are considered to be variable-interest entities (“VIEs”) while others are considered to be voting interest entities ("VOEs") subject to traditional consolidation concepts based on ownership rights. The Company consolidates VIEs where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company’s policy is to consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest.  The majority-owned subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and the VIEs where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary are collectively referred to as “consolidated subsidiaries.”  Non-controlling interests recorded on the consolidated financial statements of the Company include the non-controlling interests of the outside investors in each of these entities, as well as those of the operating company.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
 
On March 31, 2014, the operating company launched the Pzena Emerging Markets Focused Value Fund, Pzena Mid Cap Focused Value Fund, and Pzena Long/Short Value Fund, for which it acts as the investment advisor. Since the equity investment at risk is sufficient to support the operations of these entities and the ownership interests have substantive voting rights, these entities are deemed to be VOEs. On March 31, 2014, the Company provided the initial cash investment in an effort to generate an investment performance track record to attract third-party investors. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had an initial investment representing 100% of the ownership in each entity. As a result, the entities were consolidated with the Company as of March 31,

Pzena Investment Management, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)


2014. These entities will continue to be consolidated to the extent we have a majority ownership interest in them. At June 30, 2014 , the aggregate of the funds' $6.7 million in net assets were included in the Company's consolidated statements of financial condition.

Pzena Large Cap Value Fund is a Massachusetts Trust in which a majority of the trustees are members of the executive committee of the operating company.  A majority of the trustees do not hold equity investments in this trust.  Since the holders of the equity investments in this partnership lack a controlling financial interest in it, this entity is deemed to be a VIE.  The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of this VIE.  At June 30, 2014 , the Pzena Large Cap Value Fund’s $1.1 million in net assets were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition.

The operating company is the managing member of Pzena International Value Service, a series of Pzena Investment Management International, LLC.  The operating company is considered the primary beneficiary of this entity. As a result, the entity was consolidated as of February 1, 2011.  At June 30, 2014 , Pzena International Value Fund’s $2.4 million in net assets were included in the Company’s consolidated statements of financial condition.
 
VIEs that are not consolidated continue to receive investment management services from the Company, and are vehicles through which the Company offers its Global Value and/or Non-U.S. Value Strategies.  The total net assets of these VIEs was approximately $330.2 million and $244.2 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively.  Neither the Company nor the operating company were exposed to losses as a result of its involvement with these entities because they had no direct investment in them.

The Company records in its own equity its pro-rata share of transactions that impact the operating company’s net equity, including unit and option issuances, repurchases, and retirements.  The operating company’s pro-rata share of such transactions are recorded as adjustments to additional paid-in capital or non-controlling interests, as applicable, on the consolidated statements of financial position.
 
Management’s Use of Estimates:
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Fair Values of Financial Instruments:
 
The carrying amounts of all financial instruments in the consolidated statements of financial condition are presented at their fair value.
 
Revenue Recognition:
 
Revenue, comprised of advisory fee income, is recognized over the period in which advisory services are provided.  Advisory fee income includes management fees that are calculated based on percentages of assets under management (“AUM”), generally billed quarterly, either in arrears or advance, depending on their contractual terms.  Advisory fee income also includes performance fees that may be earned by the Company depending on the investment return of the assets under management.  Performance fee arrangements generally entitle the Company to participate, on a fixed-percentage basis, in any returns generated in excess of an agreed-upon benchmark.  The Company’s participation percentage in such return differentials is then multiplied by AUM to determine the performance fees earned.   In general, returns are calculated on an annualized basis over the contract’s measurement period, which usually extends to three years .  Performance fees are generally payable annually.  Following the preferred method identified in the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), such performance fee income is recorded at the conclusion of the contractual performance period, when all contingencies are resolved.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Company recognized approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million in performance fee income, respectively. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company recognized approximately $0.1 million in performance fee income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:
 
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , Cash and Cash Equivalents was $26.1 million and $33.9 million , respectively.  The Company considers all money market funds and highly-liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash in bank deposits and other accounts whose balances often exceed federally insured limits.
 
Interest on cash and cash equivalents is recorded as interest income on an accrual basis in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Restricted Cash:
 
The Company maintained compensating balances of $2.7 million and $0.3 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , respectively. The Company holds a letter of credit issued by a third party in lieu of cash security deposits, as required by the Company’s leases for its New York office space.  

The Pzena Long/Short Value Fund is required to maintain cash collateral for margin accounts established to support securities sold short, not yet purchased. To satisfy this requirement, as of June 30, 2014 , $1.4 million is set aside and recorded in Restricted Cash in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Due to/from Broker:
 
Due to/from Broker consists primarily of amounts payable/receivable for unsettled securities transactions held/initiated at the clearing brokers of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries.
 
Fair Values of Financial Instruments:
 
Investments, at Fair Value represents the securities held by the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as well as investments in third-party mutual funds.  The Company’s investments in third-party mutual funds are held to satisfy the Company’s obligations under its deferred compensation program.  Dividends associated with the investments of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries are recorded as dividend income on an ex-dividend basis in the consolidated statement of operations.

Securities Sold Short represents securities sold short, not yet purchased by the Pzena Long/Short Value Fund, which is consolidated with the Company's financial statements. Dividend expense associated with these investment is reflected in Other Income/(Expense) on an ex-dividend basis in the consolidated statement of operations.
 
All such investments are recorded at fair value, with net realized and unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and a valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability.  Classification within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The valuation hierarchy contains three levels: (i) valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets (Level 1); (ii) valuation inputs are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, quoted market prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and other observable inputs directly or indirectly related to the asset or liability being measured (Level 2); and (iii) valuation inputs are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement (Level 3).
 
The Company’s fair value measurements relate to its consolidated investments in equity securities and securities sold short, both of which are exchange-traded securities with quoted prices in active markets, and its investments in third-party mutual funds, which have a readily available net asset value per share.  The fair value measurements of the equity securities, securities sold short, and investments in mutual funds have been classified as Level 1.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers between levels. In addition, the Company did not hold any Level 2 or 3 securities during these periods.

Securities Valuation:
 
Investments in equity securities and securities sold short for which market quotations are available are valued at the last reported price or closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade.  If no reported equity sales occurred on the valuation date, equity investments are valued at the bid price.  Investments in third-party mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the fund on the day of valuation.  Transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.

The net realized gain or loss on sales of securities, securities sold short, and investments in third-party mutual funds is determined on a specific identification basis and is included in Net Realized and Unrealized Gain from Investments in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk:
 
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, amounts due from brokers, and advisory fees receivable.  The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents in bank deposits and other accounts whose balances often exceed federally insured limits.

The concentration of credit risk with respect to advisory fees receivable is generally limited due to the short payment terms extended to clients by the Company.  On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its advisory fees receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, if necessary, based on a history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions.  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , no allowance for doubtful accounts was deemed necessary.

Property and Equipment:
 
Property and equipment is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, which range from three to seven years .  Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the remaining lease term.
 
Business Segments:
 
The Company views its operations as comprising one operating segment.
 
Income Taxes:
 
The Company is a “C” corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and thus liable for federal, state, and local taxes on the income derived from its economic interest in its operating company.  The operating company is a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes.  It has not made a provision for federal or state income taxes because it is the individual responsibility of each of the operating company’s members (including the Company) to separately report their proportionate share of the operating company’s taxable income or loss.  Similarly, the income of the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries is not subject to income taxes, since it is allocated to each partnership’s individual partners.  The operating company has made a provision for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (“UBT”).

Judgment is required in evaluating the Company's uncertain tax positions and determining its provision for income taxes. The Company establishes reserves for tax-related uncertainties based on estimates of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes will be due. These reserves are established when the Company believes that certain positions might be challenged despite its belief that its tax return positions are in accordance with applicable tax laws. The Company adjusts these reserves in light of changing facts and circumstances, such as the closing of a tax audit, new tax legislation, or the change of an estimate. To the extent that the final tax outcome of these matters is different than the amounts recorded, such differences will affect the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. The provision for income taxes includes the effect of reserve provisions and changes to reserves that are considered appropriate. It is also the Company’s policy to recognize accrued interest, and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions in Income Tax Expense/(Benefit) on the consolidated statement of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , no such expenses were recognized. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, no such accruals were recorded. 
The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries account for all federal, state, and local taxation pursuant to the asset and liability method, which requires deferred income tax assets and liabilities to be recorded for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the temporary differences are expected to affect taxable income.  Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount more likely than not to be realized.  At June 30, 2014 , the Company had a $44.5 million valuation allowance against deferred tax assets recorded as part of the Company’s initial public offering and the subsequent exchanges of Class B units for shares of its Class A common stock.  At December 31, 2013 , the Company had a $54.0 million valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets.  The income tax expense, or benefit, is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company records its deferred tax liabilities as a component of other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial condition.

Excess tax benefits related to stock- and unit-transactions are not recognized until they result in a reduction of cash taxes payable. The benefit of these excess tax benefits will be recorded in equity when they reduce cash taxes payable. The Company will only recognize a tax benefit from stock- and unit-based awards in Additional Paid-In Capital if an incremental tax benefit is realized after all other tax benefits currently available have been utilized. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Company had less than $0.1 million in tax benefits associated with stock- and unit-based awards that it was not able to recognize. There were no unrecognized tax benefits for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 .
 
Foreign Currency:
 
Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation.  Purchases and sales of investment securities, and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies, are remeasured into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Company does not isolate the portion of the results of its operations resulting from the impact of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on its non-U.S. investments.  Such fluctuations are included in Net Realized and Unrealized Gain from Investments in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.  Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities resulting from changes in exchange rates.
 
The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar.  The functional currency of the Company’s representative office in Australia is the Australian Dollar.  Assets and liabilities of this office are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date, and the consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , the Company did not record any accumulated other comprehensive income.

Pursuant to the Pzena Investment Management, LLC Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan”), the operating company issues Class B units, phantom Class B units and options to purchase Class B units.  Under the Pzena Investment Management, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan”), the Company issues shares of restricted Class A common stock and options to acquire shares of Class A common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 , 701,299 phantom Class B units were forfeited in connection with employee departures.

Under the Pzena Investment Management, LLC Amended and Restated Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”), eligible employees whose cash compensation is in excess of certain thresholds have a portion of that excess mandatorily deferred.  These deferred amounts may be invested, at the employee’s discretion, in certain third-party mutual funds, phantom Class B units, or money market funds.  Amounts deferred in any calendar year reduce that year’s cash compensation expense and are amortized and vest ratably over a four -year period commencing the following year.  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the liability associated with deferred compensation investment accounts was $1.1 million and $2.3 million , respectively. During the three

months ended June 30, 2014 , 5,953 phantom Class B units issued under the plan and approximately $1.0 million in deferred compensation investments were forfeited in connection with employee departures.
 
Pursuant to the Pzena Investment Management, Inc. Non-Employee Director Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Director Plan”), non-employee directors may elect to have all or part of the compensation otherwise payable to the director in cash, deferred in the form of phantom shares of Class A common stock of the Company.  Elections to defer compensation under the Director Plan are made on a year-to-year basis.  Distributions under the Director Plan shall be made in a single distribution of shares of Class A common stock at such time as elected by the participant when the deferral was made.  Since inception of the Director Plan in 2009, the Company’s directors have elected to defer 100% of their compensation in the form of phantom shares of Class A common stock.  Amounts deferred in any calendar year are amortized over the calendar year and reflected as General and Administrative Expense.  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , there were 189,168 and 158,882 phantom shares of Class A common stock outstanding, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 no distributions were made under the Director Plan.

The Company issues to certain of its employees delayed-vesting cash awards.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 no such awards were granted.  Previously awarded delayed-vesting cash awards have varying vesting schedules with $1.1 million to be paid at the end of 2014 and the remaining $0.4 million to be paid at the end of 2015.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the Company had approximately $24.1 million and $29.7 million , respectively, in unrecorded compensation expense related to unvested awards issued pursuant to its Bonus Plan; Class B units, option grants, and phantom Class B units issued under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan; and restricted Class A common stock issued under the 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company anticipates that this unrecorded cost will amortize over the respective vesting periods of the awards.

Note 4 – Employee Benefit Plans
 
The operating company has a Profit Sharing and Savings Plan for the benefit of substantially all employees.  The Profit Sharing and Savings Plan is a defined contribution profit sharing plan with a 401(k) deferral component.  All full-time employees and certain part-time employees who have met the age and length of service requirements are eligible to participate in the plan.  The plan allows participating employees to make elective deferrals of compensation up to the annual limits which are set by law.  The plan provides for a discretionary annual contribution by the operating company which is determined by a formula based on the salaries of eligible employees as defined by the plan.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the expense recognized in connection with this plan was $0.2 million and $0.5 million , respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the expense recognized in connection with this plan was $0.2 million and $0.4 million , respectively.

Note 5—Earnings per Share
 
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the Company’s net income attributable to its common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 ,  the Company’s basic earnings per share was determined as follows:

Diluted earnings per share adjusts this calculation to reflect the impact of all outstanding operating company membership units, phantom Class B units, phantom Class A common stock, outstanding Class B unit options, options to purchase Class A common stock, and restricted Class A common stock, to the extent they would have a dilutive effect on net income per share for the reporting period.  Net income for diluted earnings per share generally assumes all outstanding operating company membership units are converted into Company stock at the beginning of the reporting period and the resulting change to Company net income associated with its increased interest in the operating company is taxed at the Company’s effective tax rate, exclusive of adjustments associated with both the valuation allowance and the liability to selling and converting shareholders and other one-time charges.

Under the two-class method of computing diluted earnings per share, diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income for diluted earnings per share by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, plus the dilutive effect of any potential common shares outstanding during the period using the more dilutive of the treasury method or two-class method.  The two-class method includes an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each participating security according to dividends declared and undistributed earnings for the period.  The Company’s net income for diluted earnings per share is reduced by the amount allocated to participating restricted Class B units for purposes of calculating earnings per share.  Dividend equivalent distributions paid per share on the operating company’s unvested restricted Class B units are equal to the dividends paid per Company Class A common stock.

1 Represents the dilutive effect of options to purchase operating company Class B units and Company Class A common stock.  
2 Certain restricted shares of Class A common stock granted to employees are not entitled to dividend or dividend equivalent payments until they are vested and are therefore non-participating securities and are not included in the computation of basic earnings per share. They are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share when the effect is dilutive using the treasury stock method.  
3 Unvested Class B Units granted to employees have nonforfeitable rights to dividend equivalent distributions and therefore participate fully in the results of the operating company's operations from the date they are granted. They are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share using the two-class method for participating securities.  

Approximately 0.8 million options to purchase Class B units were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect based on current market prices. Approximately 1.2 million options to purchase Class B units and 1.0 million options to purchased Company Class A common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , as their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect for the respective periods based on market prices.

Note 6—Shareholders’ Equity
 
The Company functions as the sole managing member of the operating company.  As a result, the Company: (i) consolidates the financial results of the operating company and reflects the membership interest in it that it does not own as a non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements; and (ii) recognizes income generated from its economic interest in the operating company’s net income.  Class A and Class B units of the operating company have the same economic rights per unit.  As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the holders of Class A common stock (through the Company) and the holders of Class B units of the operating company held approximately 18.7% and 81.3% , respectively, of the economic interests in the operations of the business.

Each Class B unit of the operating company has a corresponding share of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.000001 per share.  Each share of the Company’s Class B common stock entitles its holder to five votes, until the first time

that the number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding constitutes less than 20% of the number of all shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding.  From this time and thereafter, each share of the Company’s Class B common stock entitles its holder to one vote.  When a Class B unit is exchanged for a share of the Company’s Class A common stock or forfeited, a corresponding share of the Company’s Class B common stock will automatically be redeemed and cancelled.  Conversely, to the extent that the Company causes the operating company to issue additional Class B units to employees pursuant to its equity incentive plan, these additional holders of Class B units would be entitled to receive a corresponding number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (including if the Class B units awarded are subject to vesting).
 
All holders of the Company’s Class B common stock have entered into a stockholders’ agreement, pursuant to which they agreed to vote all shares of Class B common stock then held by them, and acquired in the future, together on all matters submitted to a vote of the common stockholders.
 
The outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock represent 100% of the rights of the holders of all classes of the Company’s capital stock to receive distributions, except that holders of Class B common stock will have the right to receive the class’s par value upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up.
 
Pursuant to the operating agreement of the operating company, each vested Class B unit is exchangeable for a share of the Company’s Class A common stock, subject to certain exchange timing and volume limitations.
 
On March 20, 2013, certain of the operating company’s members exchanged an aggregate of 1,328,334 of their Class B units for an equivalent number of shares of Company Class A common stock.  No Class B units were exchanged during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or the three months ended June 30, 2013. These acquisitions of additional operating company membership interests were treated as reorganizations of entities under common control as required by the Business Combinations Topic of the FASB ASC.
 
The Company’s share repurchase program was announced on April 24, 2012.  The Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase an aggregate of $10 million of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock and the operating company’s Class B units on the open market and in private transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws.  On February 11, 2014, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an increase of $20 million in the aggregate amount authorized under the program. The timing, number and value of common shares and units repurchased are subject to the Company’s discretion.  The Company’s share repurchase program is not subject to an expiration date and may be suspended, discontinued, or modified at any time, for any reason.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014 , 159,602 Class B unit options and 250,000 Class A common stock options were exercised and resulted in the issuance of 95,199 Class B units and 68,346 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, as a result of the redemption of 64,403 Class B units and 181,654 shares of Class A common stock for the cashless exercise of the options.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , the Company purchased and retired 34,572 and 165,562 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, under the current repurchase authorization at a weighted average price per share of $10.79 and $6.14 , respectively.   During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , the Company purchased and retired 34,572 and 275,097 shares of Class A common stock, respectively, under the repurchase authorization at a weighted average price per share of $10.79 and $6.12 , respectively.   During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , the Company purchased and retired 47,663 and 51,139 Class B units, respectively, under the current repurchase authorization at a weighted average price per unit of $10.19 and $10.58 , respectively. The Company records the repurchase of shares and units at cost based on the trade date of the transaction.

Note 10—Related Party Transactions
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , the Company earned $0.6 million and $0.3 million , respectively, in investment advisory fees from unconsolidated VIEs which receive investment management services from the Company.  For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , the Company earned $1.2 million and $0.7 million , respectively, in such fees.
 
At both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the Company had approximately $0.1 million remaining of advances to an international investment company for organization and start-up costs, which are included in Receivable from Related Parties on the consolidated statements of financial condition.  The operating company is the sponsor and investment manager of this entity.
 
At December 31, 2013 , Receivable from Related Parties included approximately $0.1 million of loans to employees. No loans to employees were recorded at June 30, 2014 .

The operating company, as investment manager of the three consolidated mutual funds, Pzena Emerging Markets Focused Value Fund, Pzena Long/Short Value Fund, and Pzena Mid Cap Focused Value Fund, has contractually agreed to waive a portion or all of its management fees and pay fund expenses to ensure that the annual operating expenses of the funds stay below certain established total expense ratio thresholds. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 the Company recognized $0.2 million of such expenses. No such expenses were recognized during three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as the funds did not exist.

The operating company manages the personal funds of certain of the Company’s employees, including the CEO, its two Presidents, and its Executive Vice President.  The operating company also manages accounts beneficially owned by a private fund in which certain of the Company’s executive officers invest.  Investments by employees in individual accounts are permitted only at the discretion of the executive committee of the operating company, but are generally not subject to the same minimum investment levels that are required of outside investors.  The operating company also manages the personal funds of some of its employees’ family members.  Pursuant to the respective investment management agreements, the operating company waives or reduces its regular advisory fees for these accounts and personal funds.   In addition, the operating company pays custody and administrative fees for certain of these accounts and personal funds in order to incubate products or preserve performance history.  The aggregate value of the fees that the Company waived related to the Company’s executive officers, other employees, and family members, was approximately $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , the Company waived $0.3 million

and $0.2 million , respectively, of such fees. The aggregate value of the custody and administrative fees paid related to the Company’s executive offers, other employees, and family members was approximately $0.1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 .
 
Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
 
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that include indemnities in favor of third parties, such as engagement letters with advisors and consultants. In certain cases, the Company may have recourse against third parties with respect to these indemnities. The Company maintains insurance policies that may provide coverage against certain claims under these indemnities. The Company has had no claims or payments pursuant to these agreements, and it believes the likelihood of a claim being made is remote. Utilizing the methodology in the Guarantees Topic of the FASB ASC, the Company’s estimate of the value of such guarantees is de minimis, therefore, no accrual has been made in the consolidated financial statements.
 
The Company leases office space under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement which expires on October 31, 2015.  The Company reflects minimum lease expense for its headquarters on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into a non-cancelable sublease agreement for certain excess office space associated with its operating lease agreement.  The sublease agreement also expires on October 31, 2015.

During June 2014, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement for its new corporate headquarters. The term of the lease is expected to commence in October 2014. The Company plans to move to its new corporate offices during the first half of 2015.
 
Lease expenses were $0.3 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively, and are included in general and administrative expense. Such expenses totaled $0.7 million for each of the the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.
 
Note 12—Income Taxes
 
The operating company is a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes.  Neither it nor the Company’s other consolidated subsidiaries have made a provision for federal or state income taxes because it is the individual responsibility of each of these entities’ members (including the Company) to separately report their proportionate share of the respective entity’s taxable income or loss.  The operating company has made a provision for New York City UBT.  The Company, as a “C” corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, is liable for federal, state and local taxes on the income derived from its economic interest in its operating company, which is net of UBT.  Correspondingly, in its consolidated financial statements, the Company reports both the operating company’s provision for UBT, as well as its provision for federal, state and local corporate taxes.

1 During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the operating company recognized a $0.6 million tax benefit associated with the amendment of prior year tax returns to change the methodology for state and local receipts.  

The Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC establishes the minimum threshold for recognizing, and a system for measuring, the benefits of tax return positions in financial statements.  

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had available for U.S. federal income tax reporting purposes, a net operating loss carryforward of $10.3 million and $10.4 million , respectively, which expires in varying amounts during the tax years 2027 through 2033.
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, included in net operating losses are approximately $1.2 million and $1.0 million , respectively, of deductions for excess stock- and unit- based transactions. The $0.5 million , respectively, of tax benefit associated with these deductions will be credited to Additional Paid In Capital when such deductions reduce taxes payable. Although these net operating losses are included in the total carryforward amount, they are not reflected in the table of deferred tax assets as the excess tax benefits are not yet realized.
The Company and the operating company are generally no longer subject to U.S. Federal or state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for any year prior to 2010.  All tax years subsequent to, and including, 2010 are considered open and subject to examination by tax authorities. During 2013, the Company extended the statue of limitations in New York City for its 2009 tax year in association with the amendment of prior year tax returns to change the methodology for state and local receipts.
 
The acquisition of the operating company Class B units, noted below, has allowed the Company to make an election under Section 754 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Section 754”) to step up its tax basis in the net assets acquired.  This step up is deductible for tax purposes over a 15 -year period.  Based on the net proceeds of the initial public offering and tax basis of the operating company, this election gave rise to an initial deferred tax asset of approximately $68.7 million .

Pursuant to a tax receivable agreement signed between the members of the operating company and the Company, 85% of the cash savings generated by this election will be distributed to the selling and converting shareholders upon the realization of this benefit.

If the Company exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement early, the Company will be obligated to make an early termination payment to the selling and converting shareholders, based upon the net present value (based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the tax receivable agreement) of all payments that would be required to be paid by the Company under the tax receivable agreement.  If certain change of control events were to occur, the Company would be obligated to make an early termination payment.
 
As discussed in Note 6, Shareholders’ Equity, no Class B units were exchanged during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014 or the three months ended June 30, 2013 . On March 20, 2013 certain of the operating company’s members exchanged an aggregate of 1,328,334 of their Class B units for an equivalent number of shares of Company Class A common stock.  The Company elected to step up its tax basis in the incremental assets acquired in accordance with Section 754.  Based on the exchange-date fair values of the Company’s common stock and the tax basis of the operating company, this election gave rise to a $5.9 million deferred tax asset and corresponding $5.0 million liability on March 20, 2013.   The Company assessed the realizability of the deferred tax asset associated with this exchange and determined that a portion of the benefits would go unutilized.  Consequently, the Company established a $5.1 million valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax asset to an amount more likely than not to be realized.  These deferred tax assets remain available to the Company and can be used to reduce taxable income in future years.  The Company similarly reduced the associated liability to selling and converting shareholders by $4.4 million to reflect this change in the estimated realization of these assets.  As required by the Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC, the Company recorded the effects of these transactions in equity.   

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , after giving effect to the exchange discussed earlier, the Company’s valuation allowance was reduced by approximately $2.4 million and $3.2 million , respectively, due to revised estimates of future taxable income.   Results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 also reflects a change in the Company's expected future tax benefits due to a change in New York State tax law and the methodology for receipts beginning at the start of the 2015 tax year. This change is reflected as a net adjustment to the Company's Section 754 deferred tax asset, valuation allowance, and other deferred tax assets. To reflect these changes in the estimated realization of the asset and its liability for future payments, the Company increased its liability to selling and converting shareholders by $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively. The effects of these changes to the deferred tax asset and liability to selling and converting shareholders were recorded as a component of the income tax expense and other expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.  

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , the Company’s valuation allowance was reduced by approximately $0.6 million and $1.8 million , respectively, due to revised estimates of future taxable income. Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 also reflects a decrease in the Company's effective tax rate due to a decrease in state and local rates associated with a change in methodology for state and local receipts during 2013. This decrease is reflected as an adjustment to the Company's Section 754 deferred tax asset, valuation allowance, and other deferred tax assets. To reflect these changes in the estimated realization of the asset and its liability for future payments, the Company increased its liability to selling and converting shareholders by $0.2 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The effects of these changes to the deferred tax asset and liability to selling and converting shareholders were recorded as a component of the income tax expense and other expense, respectively, on the consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 , the net values of all deferred tax assets were approximately $12.5 million and $12.3 million , respectively.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
 
We are a public-equity investment management firm that utilizes a classic value investment approach across all of our investment strategies.  We currently manage assets in a variety of value-oriented investment strategies across a wide range of market capitalizations in both U.S. and non-U.S. capital markets.  At June 30, 2014 , our assets under management, or AUM, was $27.0 billion .  We manage separate accounts on behalf of institutions and high net worth individuals, and act as sub-investment adviser for a variety of SEC-registered mutual funds and non-U.S. funds and advisor for three Pzena SEC-registered mutual funds.
 
We function as the sole managing member of our operating company, Pzena Investment Management, LLC (the “operating company”).  As a result, we: (i) consolidate the financial results of our operating company with our own, and reflect the membership interest in it that we do not own as a non-controlling interest in our consolidated financial statements; and (ii) recognize income generated from our economic interest in our operating company’s net income.  As of June 30, 2014 , the holders of Class A common stock (through the Company) and the holders of Class B units of our operating company held approximately 18.7% and 81.3% , respectively, of the economic interests in the operations of our business.

As of June 30, 2014 holders of Class B units of our operating company included four of our named executive officers and their estate planning vehicles, who collectively held approximately 57.0% of the economic interest in our operating company. As of June 30, 2014 , 32 other employee members held approximately 3.2%, and certain other members of our operating company, including one of our directors and his related entities, and ten former employees, collectively held 21.1% of the economic interests in our operating company through ownership of Class B units.
 
Non-GAAP Net Income
 
Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 included recurring adjustments related to our deferred tax asset generated by the Company's initial public offering and subsequent unit conversions as well as our tax receivable agreement and the associated liability to our selling and converting shareholders.  We believe that these accounting adjustments add a measure of non-operational complexity which partially obscures the underlying performance of our business.  In evaluating our financial condition and results of operations, we also review certain non-GAAP measures of earnings, which exclude these items.  Excluding these adjustments, non-GAAP diluted net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $8.7 million and $0.13 , respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $6.3 million and $0.09 , respectively, for three months ended June 30, 2013 .  Excluding these adjustments, non-GAAP diluted net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share were $16.3 million and $0.24 , respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $12.0 million and $0.18 , respectively, for six months ended June 30, 2013 .  GAAP and non-GAAP net income for diluted earnings per share generally assumes all operating company membership units are converted into Company stock at the beginning of the reporting period, and the resulting change to our net income associated with our increased interest in the operating company is taxed at our effective tax rate, exclusive of the adjustments related to our tax receivable agreement and the associated liability to selling and converting shareholders and other adjustments.  Our effective tax rate, exclusive of these adjustments, was 43.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 41.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 .  See “Operating Results - Income Tax Expense” below.
 
We use these non-GAAP measures to assess the strength of the underlying operations of the business. We believe that these adjustments, and the non-GAAP measures derived from them, provide information to better analyze our operations between periods, and over time. We also use non-GAAP net income as one factor in determining the amount of dividends we pay.  See “Dividend Policy” below.  Investors should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Revenue
 
We generate revenue primarily from management fees and performance fees, which we collectively refer to as our advisory fees, by managing assets on behalf of institutional accounts and for retail clients, which are generally open-end mutual funds catering primarily to retail investors.  Our advisory fee income is recognized over the period in which investment management services are provided.  Following the preferred method identified in the Revenue Recognition Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), income from performance fees is recorded at the conclusion of the contractual performance period, when all contingencies are resolved.
 
Our advisory fees are primarily driven by the level of our AUM.  Our AUM increases or decreases with the net inflows or outflows of funds into our various investment strategies and with the investment performance thereof.  In order to increase our AUM and expand our business, we must develop and market investment strategies that suit the investment needs of our target clients, and provide attractive returns over the long term.  The value and composition of our AUM, and our ability to continue to attract clients, will depend on a variety of factors including, among other things:
 
our ability to educate our target clients about our classic value investment strategies and provide them with exceptional client service;
the relative investment performance of our investment strategies, as compared to competing products and market indices;
competitive conditions in the investment management and broader financial services sectors;
general economic conditions;
investor sentiment and confidence; and
our decision to close strategies when we deem it to be in the best interests of our clients.

Table of Contents

For our institutional accounts, we are paid fees according to a schedule, which varies by investment strategy.  The substantial majority of these accounts pay us management fees pursuant to a schedule in which the rate we earn on the AUM declines as the amount of AUM increases.
 
Pursuant to our sub-investment advisory agreements with our retail clients, we are generally paid a management fee according to a schedule in which the rate we earn on the AUM declines as the amount of AUM increases.  Certain of these funds pay us fixed-rate management fees.  Due to the substantially larger account size of certain of these accounts, the average advisory fees we earn on them, as a percentage of AUM, are lower than the advisory fees we earn on our institutional accounts.
 
Certain of our clients pay us fees according to the performance of their accounts relative to certain agreed-upon benchmarks, which results in a lower base fee, but allows us to earn higher fees if the relevant investment strategy outperforms the agreed-upon benchmark.
 
The majority of advisory fees we earn on institutional accounts is based on the value of our AUM at a specific date on a quarterly basis, either in arrears or advance.  Advisory fees on certain of our institutional accounts, and with respect to all of our retail accounts, are calculated based on the average of the monthly or daily market value.  Advisory fees are also generally adjusted for any cash flows into or out of a portfolio, where the cash flow represents greater than 10% of the value of the portfolio.  While a specific group of accounts may use the same fee rate, the method used to calculate the fee according to the fee rate schedule may differ as described above.
 
Our advisory fees may fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the following:
 
changes in AUM due to appreciation or depreciation of our investment portfolios, and the levels of the contribution and withdrawal of assets by new and existing clients;
distribution of AUM among our investment strategies, which have differing fee schedules;
distribution of AUM between institutional accounts and retail accounts, for which we generally earn lower overall advisory fees; and
the level of our performance with respect to accounts on which we are paid performance fees.

Expenses
 
Our expenses consist primarily of Compensation and Benefits Expense, as well as General and Administrative Expense.  Our largest expense is Compensation and Benefits, which includes the salaries, bonuses, equity-based compensation, and related benefits and payroll costs attributable to our employee members and employees.  Compensation and benefits packages are benchmarked against relevant industry and geographic peer groups in order to attract and retain qualified personnel.  General and Administrative Expense includes office rent and other expenses, professional and outside services fees, depreciation, and the costs associated with operating and maintaining our research, trading, and portfolio accounting systems.  Our occupancy-related costs and professional services expenses, in particular, generally increase or decrease in relative proportion to the overall size and scale of our business operations.

We incur additional expenses associated with being a public company for, among other things, director and officer insurance, director fees, SEC reporting and compliance (including Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank compliance), professional fees, transfer agent fees, and other similar expenses.  These additional expenses have and will continue to reduce our net income.
 
Our expenses may fluctuate due to a number of factors, including the following:
 
variations in the level of total compensation expense due to, among other things, bonuses, awards of equity to our employees and employee members of our operating company, changes in our employee count and mix, and competitive factors; and
general and administrative expenses, such as rent, professional service fees and data-related costs, incurred, as necessary, to run our business.

Table of Contents

Other (Expense)/ Income
 
Other (Expense)/ Income is derived primarily from investment income or loss arising from our consolidated entities, income or loss generated by our investments in third-party mutual funds, and interest income generated on our cash balances.  Other (Expense)/ Income is also affected by changes in our estimates of the liability due to our selling and converting shareholders associated with payments owed to them under the tax receivable agreement which was executed in connection with our reorganization and initial public offering on October 30, 2007.  As discussed further below under “Tax Receivable Agreement,” this liability represents 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income tax that we realize as a result of the amortization of the increases in tax basis generated from our acquisitions of our operating company’s units from our selling and converting shareholders.  We expect the interest and investment components of (Expense)/ Income, in the aggregate, to fluctuate based on market conditions and the performance of our consolidated entities and other investments.

  Non-Controlling Interests

Our operating company consolidates the results of operations of the private investment partnerships over which we exercise a controlling influence.  We are the sole managing member of our operating company and control its business and affairs and, therefore, consolidate its financial results with ours.  In light of our employees’ and outside investors’ interest in our operating company, we have reflected their membership interests as a non-controlling interest in our consolidated financial statements.  As a result, our income is primarily generated by our economic interest in our operating company’s net income.  As of June 30, 2014 , the holders of Class A common stock (through the Company) and the holders of Class B units of the operating company held approximately 18.7% and 81.3% , respectively, of the economic interests in the operations of the business.

Operating Results
 
Assets Under Management and Flows
 
As of June 30, 2014 , our approximately $27.0 billion of AUM was invested in a variety of value-oriented investment strategies, representing distinct capitalization segments of U.S. and non-U.S. equity markets.  The performance of our largest investment strategies as of June 30, 2014 is further described below.  We follow the same investment process for each of these strategies.  Our investment strategies are distinguished by the market capitalization ranges from which we select securities for their portfolios, which we refer to as each strategy’s investment universe, as well as the regions in which we invest and the degree to which we concentrate on a limited number of holdings.  While our investment process includes ongoing review of companies in the investment universes described below, our actual investments may include companies outside of the relevant market capitalization range at the time of our investment.  In addition, the number of holdings typically found in the portfolios of each of our investment strategies may vary, as described below.

The following table indicates the annualized returns, gross and net (which represents annualized returns prior to, and after, payment of advisory fees, respectively), of our largest investment strategies from their inception to June 30, 2014 , and in the five-year, three-year, and one-year periods ended June 30, 2014 , as well as the performance of the market index which is most commonly used by our clients to compare the performance of the relevant investment strategy.

return of 26.1% , underperforming its benchmark. Producer durables holdings were the largest contributors to this underperformance. The underperformance was also driven by positioning in the health care and consumer discretionary sectors, partially offset by our stock selection in the financial services and technology sectors.
 
Our earnings and cash flows are heavily dependent upon prevailing financial market conditions.  Significant increases or decreases in the various securities markets, particularly the equities markets, can have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
 
The change in AUM in our institutional accounts and our retail accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is described below.  Inflows are composed solely of the investment of new or additional assets by new or existing clients.  Outflows consist solely of redemptions of assets by existing clients. For the periods ended June 30, 2013, approximately $0.1 billion of assets under management that we had previously reported in institutional accounts was reclassified to retail accounts. Historical information has been reclassified for all periods effected.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

At June 30, 2014 , we managed $15.1 billion in institutional accounts and $11.9 billion in retail accounts, for a total of $27.0 billion in assets.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014 , we experienced market appreciation of $ 0.9 billion and total gross inflows of $ 1.8 billion , which were partially offset by total gross outflows of $1.1 billion .  Assets in institutional accounts decreased by $0.1 billion , or 0.7% , from $15.2 billion at March 31, 2014 due to $0.9 billion in gross outflows, partially offset by $0.4 billion in gross inflows and $0.4 billion in market appreciation. Assets in retail accounts increased by $1.7 billion , or 16.7% , from $10.2 billion at March 31, 2014 due to $1.4 billion in gross inflows and $0.5 billion in market appreciation, partially offset by $0.2 billion in gross outflows.
 
At June 30, 2013 , we managed $12.5 billion in institutional accounts and $7.8 billion in retail accounts, for a total of $20.3 billion in assets. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 , we experienced market appreciation of $1.2 billion and total gross inflows of $0.4 billion , which were partially offset by gross outflows of $0.8 billion . For the three months ended June 30, 2013 assets in institutional accounts increased by $0.3 billion , or 2.5% , due to $0.6 billion in market appreciation and $0.1 billion in gross inflows, partially offset by $0.4 billion in gross outflows. For the three months ended June 30, 2013 , assets in retail accounts increased by $0.5 billion , or 6.8% , as a result of $0.6 billion in market appreciation and $0.3 billion in gross inflows, partially offset by $0.4 billion in gross outflows.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

For the six months ended June 30, 2014 , we experienced total gross inflows of $ 3.1 billion and market appreciation of $ 1.3 billion , which were partially offset by total gross outflows of $2.4 billion .  Assets in institutional accounts decreased by $0.3 billion , or 1.9% , from $15.4 billion at December 31, 2013 due to $1.9 billion in gross outflows, partially offset by $0.9 billion in gross inflows and $0.7 billion in market appreciation. Assets in retail accounts increased by $2.3 billion , or 24.0% , from $9.6 billion at December 31, 2013 due to $2.2 billion in gross inflows and $0.6 billion in market appreciation, partially offset by $0.5 billion in gross outflows.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013 , we experienced market appreciation of $3.1 billion and $1.6 billion in gross inflows which were partially offset by $1.5 billion in gross outflows. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 , assets in institutional accounts increased by $1.3 billion , or 11.6% , from $11.2 billion at December 31, 2012 due to $1.8 billion in market appreciation and $0.4 billion in gross inflows, partially offset by $0.9 billion in gross outflows. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 , assets in retail accounts increased $1.9 billion , or 32.2% , from $5.9 billion at December 31, 2012 due to $1.3 billion in market appreciation and $1.2 billion in gross inflows, partially offset by $0.6 billion in gross outflows.

Our revenues are generally correlated with the levels of our average AUM.  Our average AUM fluctuates based on changes in the market value of accounts advised and managed by us, and on our fund flows.  Since we are long-term fundamental investors, we believe that our investment strategies yield the most benefits, and are best evaluated, over a long-term timeframe.  We believe that our investment strategies are generally evaluated by our clients and our potential future clients based on their relative performance since inception, and the previous one-year, three-year, and five-year periods.  There has typically been a correlation between our strategies’ investment performance and the size and direction of asset flows over the long-term.  To the extent that our returns for these periods outperform client benchmarks, we would generally anticipate increased asset flows over the long-term.  Correspondingly, negative returns relative to client benchmarks could cause existing clients to reduce their exposure to our products, or hinder new client acquisition.

In addition, an increase in average AUM and in revenues typically results in higher operating income and net income, while a decrease in average AUM and in revenues typically results in lower operating income and net income.  We would expect pressure on our operating income, net income and operating margins in the future if average AUM and revenues were to decline.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Our total revenue increased by $5.8 million , or 26.3% , to $27.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , from $22.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 .  This change was driven primarily by an increase in our average AUM.  Average AUM increased 30.8% to $26.3 billion from $20.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  To the extent that we experience further changes in average AUM, our revenue could be affected.

Our weighted average fees were 0.425% and 0.441% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively. This decrease was primarily due an increase in our retail assets, which generally carry lower fee rates, as a portion of total assets. At June 30, 2014 and 2013 , retail assets were 44.1% and 38.4% of total assets, respectively.

Average assets in institutional accounts increased $2.7 billion to $15.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , from $12.4 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , and had weighted average fees of 0.542% and 0.556% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  This decrease in weighted average fee rates primarily reflects a shift in mix towards our expanded value strategies and larger relationships that generally carry lower fee rates.

Average assets in retail accounts increased $3.5 billion to $11.2 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , from $7.7 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , and had weighted average fees of 0.267% and 0.253% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  The increase in retail weighted average fee rates reflects the addition of assets in our non-U.S. Value strategies that generally carry higher fee rates.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Our total revenue increased by $11.4 million , or 26.5% , to $54.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , from $43.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 .  This change was driven primarily by an increase in our average AUM.  Total average AUM increased 32.1% to $25.5 billion from $19.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  To the extent that we experience further changes in average AUM, our revenue could be affected.

Our weighted average fees were 0.426% and 0.446% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively. This decrease was primarily due an increase in our retail assets, which generally carry lower fee rates, as a portion of total assets. At June 30, 2014 and 2013 , retail assets were 44.1% and 38.4% of total assets, respectively.

Average assets in institutional accounts increased $2.9 billion to $15.0 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , from $12.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , and had weighted average fees of 0.543% and 0.557% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  Weighted average fee rates decreased primarily due to the shift toward our expanded value strategies and larger relationships.

Average assets in retail accounts increased $3.4 billion to $10.5 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , from $7.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , and had weighted average fees of 0.259% and 0.256% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  Retail weighted average fee rates increased as a result of the additional assets in our non-U.S. value strategies.

Total operating expense increased by $1.5 million , or 14.2% , to $12.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , from $10.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 .  This increase was attributable to increases in both our compensation and general and administrative expenses.
 
Compensation and benefits expense increased by approximately $1.0 million , or 11.1% , to $9.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , from $8.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 .  This increase was primarily attributable to a $1.0 million increase in cash compensation primarily due to an increase in salary, headcount, and discretionary bonus amounts during 2014.  
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from the three months ended June 30, 2013 . This increase primarily reflects an increase in professional fees incurred in connection with new business initiatives.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Total operating expense increased by $2.5 million , or 11.2% , to $24.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , from $22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 .  This increase was attributable to increases in both our compensation and general and administrative expenses.
 
Compensation and benefits expense increased by approximately $1.4 million , or 7.7% , to $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , from $18.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 .  This increase was attributable to a $1.2 million increase in cash compensation primarily due to an increase in salary, headcount, and discretionary bonus amounts during 2014.  The increase also reflects a $0.2 million increase in other non-cash compensation due to amortization associated with previously issued awards.  We would expect non-cash compensation expense in subsequent periods to depend on the size and composition of awards granted under our equity incentive plans.
 
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 from the six months ended June 30, 2013 . This increase primarily reflects an increase in professional fees incurred in connection with new business initiatives and increased business activities.

Other (Expense)\ Income

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013
 
Other (Expense)/ Income was an expense of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , and consisted primarily of $2.0 million in expense related to adjustment to our liability to our selling and converting shareholders, partially offset by $0.4 million of net realized and unrealized gains from investments and $0.1 million in interest and dividend income. Other (Expense)/ Income was income of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , and consisted primarily of $0.2 million of expense related to adjustments to our liability to our selling and converting shareholders, offset by $0.4 million in net realized and  unrealized gains from investments and $0.1 million in interest and dividend income.  As discussed further below, the liability to our selling and converting shareholders represents 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that we realize as a result of the amortization of the increases in tax basis generated from our purchase of operating company units from our selling shareholders.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Other (Expense)/ Income was an expense of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , and consisted primarily of $2.1 million in expense related to adjustment to our liability to our selling and converting shareholders, partially offset by $0.5 million net realized and unrealized gains from investments and $0.2 million in interest and dividend income. Other (Expense)/ Income was income of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , and consisted primarily of $1.3 million of expense related to adjustments to our liability to our selling and converting shareholders, offset by $1.3 million in net realized and unrealized gains from investments and $0.2 million in interest and dividend income.  

Income Tax (Benefit)/ Expense
 
Our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 included the effects of adjustments related to our tax receivable agreement and the associated liability to selling and converting shareholders.  Our effective corporate tax rate, exclusive of adjustments related to our tax receivable agreement and the associated liability to selling and converting shareholders, was 41.3% and 42.5% , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , and 40.5% and 41.5% , respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 , respectively. The increase in the corporate effective rate is due to the current year impact of a decrease in expected future tax benefits associated with a change in the New York State tax law for receipts beginning at the start of the 2015 tax year. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2013 also reflect a $0.6 million unincorporated business tax benefit recognized by our operating company associated with the amendment of prior year tax returns to change the methodology for state and local receipts.

Non-GAAP income before corporate income taxes used to calculate our income before income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is calculated as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Income Tax (Benefit)/ Expense was a benefit of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and an expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 .  The three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 Income Tax (Benefit)/ Expense included $2.4 million and $0.6 million of benefit, respectively, associated with decreases to the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax asset.  The remaining income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of $0.8 million in operating company unincorporated business taxes and $1.2 million of corporate income taxes.  The three months ended June 30, 2013 also included a $0.3 million expense reflecting a net adjustment to the deferred tax asset and valuation allowance associated with the decrease in our effective tax rate during 2013. The remaining income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , consisted of $0.7 million of operating company unincorporated business taxes and $0.8 million of corporate income taxes.  The $0.4 million increase in corporate income taxes is attributable primarily to increases in taxable income and the corporate effective rate.  A comparison of the GAAP effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is not meaningful due to the valuation allowance adjustments.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Income Tax (Benefit)/ Expense were expenses of $1.4 million and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.  The six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 Income Tax (Benefit)/ Expense included $3.2 million and $1.8 million of benefit, respectively, associated with decreases to the valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax asset.  The six months ended June 30, 2014 also included a $0.6 million expense driven by a reduction in expected future tax benefits associated with a change in the New York State law for receipts beginning at the start of the 2015 tax year. Exclusive of these adjustments, the remaining income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 consisted of $1.6 million in operating company unincorporated business taxes and $2.3 million of corporate income taxes.  On a similar basis, the remaining income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , consisted of $0.7 million of operating company unincorporated business taxes and $1.6 million of corporate income taxes.  The $0.7 million increase in corporate income taxes is attributable primarily to increases in taxable income and the corporate effective rate.  The $0.9 million increase in operating company unincorporated business taxes reflects the $0.6 million tax benefit recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2013 associated with the amendment of prior year tax returns to change the methodology for calculating local receipts.

Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interests
 
Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $12.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 , and consisted of $12.2 million associated with our employees’ and outside investors’ approximately 81.3% weighted average interest in the income of the operating company, and $0.1 million associated with our consolidated subsidiaries’ interest in the income of our consolidated entities.  Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $9.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 , and consisted of $8.7 million associated with our employees’ and outside investors’ approximately 81.0% weighted average interest in the income of the operating company, and $0.3 million associated with our consolidated subsidiaries’ interest in the income of our consolidated entities.  The change in net income attributable to non-controlling interests primarily reflects the increase in operating company net income associated with the increase in our average AUM which had a corresponding positive impact on operating company revenues and income.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , and consisted of $23.0 million associated with our employees’ and outside investors’ approximately 81.3% weighted average interest in the income of the operating company, and $0.1 million associated with our consolidated subsidiaries’ interest in the income of our consolidated entities.  Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 , and consisted of $16.8 million associated with our employees’ and outside investors’ approximately 81.9% weighted average interest in the income of the operating company, and $0.7 million associated with our consolidated subsidiaries’ interest in the income of our consolidated entities.  The change in net income attributable to non-controlling interests primarily reflects the increase in operating company net income associated with the increase in our average AUM which had a corresponding positive impact on operating company revenues and income. The change in net income attributable to non-controlling interests also reflects the decrease in our employees’ and outside investors’ weighted average interest in the income of the operating company.  We would expect the interests in our operating company in subsequent periods to depend on changes in our shareholder’s equity and the size and composition of Class B units awarded by our operating company’s compensation plans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, the working capital needs of our business have primarily been met through the cash generated by our operations.  Distributions to members of our operating company are our largest use of cash from financing activities.  Other activities include purchases and sales of investments to fund our deferred compensation program, capital expenditures, and strategic growth initiatives such as providing the initial cash investment in our mutual funds. In March 2014, in an effort to expand distribution channels and offer certain products in a mutual fund format, our operating company launched three new mutual funds formed as series of the Advisor Series Trust. In order to support these new mutual funds and establish investment records that can be used to market the funds to third party investors, we seeded the mutual funds with $6.0 million.

At June 30, 2014 , cash and cash equivalents were $26.1 million , inclusive of $3.2 million in cash held by our consolidated subsidiaries.  Advisory fees receivable was $23.9 million . To satisfy our obligations under our deferred compensation program, we also had approximately $4.9 million in third-party mutual fund investments and $0.9 million in our cash and cash equivalents.
 
We expect to fund the liquidity needs of our business in the next twelve months, and over the long-term, primarily through cash generated from operations.  As an investment management company, our business is materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world.  Our liquidity is highly dependent on the revenue and income from our operations, which is directly related to our levels of AUM.  For the three months ended June 30, 2014 , our average AUM and revenues increased by 30.8% and 26.3% , respectively, compared to our average AUM and revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 .
 
In determining the sufficiency of liquidity and capital resources to fund our business, we regularly monitor our liquidity position, including, among other things, cash, working capital, investments, long-term liabilities, lease commitments, debt obligations, and operating company distributions.  Compensation is our largest expense.  To the extent we deem necessary and appropriate to run our business, recognizing the need to retain our key personnel, we have the ability to change the absolute levels of our compensation packages, as well as change the mix of their cash and non-cash components.  Historically, we have not tied

our level of compensation directly to revenue, as many Wall Street firms do.  Correspondingly, there is not a linear relationship between our compensation and the revenues we generate.  This generally has the effect of increasing operating margins in periods of increased revenues, but can reduce operating margins when revenue declines.
 
We continuously evaluate our staffing requirements and compensation levels with reference to our own liquidity position and external peer benchmarking data.  The result of this review directly influences management’s recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to such staffing and compensation levels.
 
We anticipate that tax allocations and dividend equivalent payments to the members of our operating company, which consisted of 36 of our employees, certain unaffiliated persons, former employees, and us, will continue to be a material financing activity.  Cash distributions to operating company members for partnership tax allocations would increase should the taxable income of the operating company increase.  Dividend equivalent payments will depend on our dividend policy and the discretion of our Board of Directors, as discussed below.
      
We believe that our lack of long-term debt, and ability to vary cash compensation levels, have provided us with an appropriate degree of flexibility in providing for our liquidity needs.
 
Dividend Policy
 
We are a holding company and our primary investment is our ownership of membership interests in our operating company. As a result, we depend upon distributions from our operating company to pay any dividends that our Board of Directors may declare to be paid to our Class A common stockholders. When, and if, our Board of Directors declares any such dividends, we then cause our operating company to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover the dividends declared. Our dividend policy has certain risks and limitations, particularly with respect to liquidity. We may not pay dividends to our Class A common shareholders in amounts that have been paid to them in the past, or at all, if, among other things, we do not have the cash necessary to pay our intended dividends. To the extent we do not have cash on hand sufficient to pay dividends in the future, we may decide not to pay dividends. By paying cash dividends rather than investing that cash in our future growth, we risk slowing the pace of our growth, or not having a sufficient amount of cash to fund our operations or unanticipated capital expenditures, should the need arise.
 
On an annual basis, our Board of Directors has targeted a cash dividend payout ratio of approximately 70% to 80% of our non-GAAP net income, subject to growth initiatives and other funding needs.  Our ability to pay dividends is subject to the Board of Directors’ discretion and may be limited by our holding company structure and applicable provisions of Delaware law.
 
Tax Receivable Agreement

Our purchase of membership units of our operating company concurrent with our initial public offering, and the subsequent and future exchanges by holders of Class B units of our operating company for shares of our Class A common stock (pursuant to the exchange rights provided for in the operating company’s operating agreement), has resulted in, and is expected to continue to result in, increases in our share of the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of our operating company, which will increase the tax depreciation and amortization deductions that otherwise would not have been available to us. These increases in tax basis and tax depreciation and amortization deductions have reduced, and are expected to continue to reduce, the amount of cash taxes that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. We have entered into a tax receivable agreement with the current members of our operating company, the one member of our operating company immediately prior to our initial public offering who sold all membership units to us in connection with our initial public offering, and any future holders of Class B units, that requires us to pay them 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in the case of an early termination payment by us, or a change in control, as described in the tax receivable agreement) as a result of the increases in tax basis described above and certain other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement.

Cash Flows

  Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Cash and Cash Equivalents increased $0.3 million to $26.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a $1.2 million increase in cash to $25.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 .  Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $12.7 million from $12.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013 .  The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net income offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities and working capital.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was relatively flat for the each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 .  
   
Net cash used in financing activities increased $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $12.4 million from $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 .  This increase is primarily due to a $1.8 million increase in distributions to non-controlling interests. This increase was partially offset by $0.6 million in contributions from non-controlling interests and a $0.2 million decrease in the repurchase and retirement of Class A common stock and Class B units, recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2014 .

Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 versus June 30, 2013

Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased $7.8 million to $26.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a $7.0 million decrease in cash to $25.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 .  Net cash provided by operating activities increased $3.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $23.9 million from $20.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 .  The increase was primarily due to an increase in net income offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities and working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million for six months ended June 30, 2014 , compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 .  The $1.2 million decrease in cash used was primarily attributable to a $0.9 million decrease in purchases from investments in our deferred compensation program and a $0.5 million increase in proceeds from sales of investments in our deferred compensation program during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 .
   
Net cash used in financing activities increased $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $31.5 million from $25.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 .  This increase is primarily due to a $7.0 million increase in distributions to non-controlling interests and a $1.4 million increase in dividends paid, partially offset by $1.5 million increase in contributions from non-controlling interests and a $0.8 million decrease in the repurchase and retirement of Class A common stock and Class B units during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013 .

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2014 .
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
   
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under current circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources.  We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Accounting policies are an integral part of our financial statements.  A thorough understanding of these accounting policies is essential when reviewing our reported results of operations and our financial condition.  Management believes that the critical accounting policies discussed below involve additional management judgment due to the sensitivity of the methods and assumptions used.

Table of Contents

Consolidation
 
Our policy is to consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable-interest entities of which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary.  We assess our consolidation practices regularly, as circumstances dictate.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Income Taxes
 
We are a “C” corporation under the Internal Revenue Code, and thus liable for federal, state and local taxes on the income derived from our economic interest in our operating company.  The operating company is a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes.  Our operating company has not made a provision for federal or state income taxes because it is the responsibility of each of the operating company’s members (including us) to separately report their proportionate share of the operating company’s taxable income or loss.  Similarly, the income of our consolidated subsidiaries is not subject to income taxes, as such income is allocated to each partnership’s individual partners.  The operating company has made a provision for New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (UBT).
 
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, net operating loss carryforwards and tax credits.  A valuation allowance is maintained for deferred tax assets that we estimate are more likely than not to go unrealizable based on available evidence at the time the estimate is made.  Determining the valuation allowance requires management to make significant judgments and assumptions.  In determining the valuation allowance, we use historical and forecasted future operating results, based upon approved business plans, including a review of the eligible carryforward periods, tax planning opportunities and other relevant considerations.  Each quarter, we re-evaluate our estimate related to the valuation allowance, including our assumptions about future taxable income.
 
We believe that the accounting estimate related to the $44.5 million valuation allowance, recorded against the deferred tax asset associated with our acquisition of operating company membership units, is a critical accounting estimate because the underlying assumptions can change from period to period.  For example, tax law changes, or variances in future projected operating performance, could result in a change in the valuation allowance.  If we are not able to realize all or part of our net deferred tax assets in the future, an adjustment to our deferred tax asset valuation allowance would be charged to income tax expense in the period such determination was made.

Management judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes, evaluating our tax positions and establishing deferred tax assets and liabilities.  The calculation of our tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations.  If the ultimate resolution of uncertainties is different from currently estimated, it could affect income tax expense and the effective tax rate.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists” (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 provides amendments to ASC No. 740, “Income Taxes”, which clarify the guidance for the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The amendments in this update are effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and do not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Market Risk
 
Our exposure to market risk is directly related to our role as investment adviser for the institutional separate accounts we manage and the retail clients for which we act as sub-investment adviser.  As noted in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2014, we could experience declines in AUM due to, among other factors, poor performance of our investment strategies or a general economic downturn. These conditions could lead to declines in revenue and profitability, and there can be no assurance that there will not be declines in our AUM, revenue and profitability in the future. An economic downturn, and volatility in the global financial markets, could also significantly affect the estimates, judgments, and assumptions used in the valuation of our financial instruments.
 
Our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was generally derived from advisory fees, which are typically based on the market value of our AUM, which can be affected by adverse changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange and equity prices.  Accordingly, a decline in the prices of securities would cause our revenue and income to decline, due to a decrease in the value of the assets we manage.  In addition, such a decline could cause our clients to withdraw their funds in favor of investments offering higher returns or lower risk, which would cause our revenue and income to decline further.
 
We are also subject to market risk due to a decline in the value of the holdings of our consolidated subsidiaries, which consist primarily of marketable securities and investments in mutual funds.  At June 30, 2014 , the fair value of marketable securities and investments in third-party mutual funds was $10.4 million and $4.9 million , respectively.  Assuming a 10% increase or decrease, the fair value would have increased or decreased by $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2014 .

Interest Rate Risk
   
Since the Company does not have any debt that bears interest at a variable rate, it does not have any direct exposure to interest rate risk at June 30, 2014 .

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures.
 
During the course of their review of our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2014 , our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2014 , our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, the exercise of 159,602 options, by certain members of our operating company, to acquire Class B units of our operating company resulted in the issuance of 95,199 Class B units after the redemption of 64,403 Class B units for the cashless exercise of options.

The issuance of these Class B units did not involve any public offering, general advertising or general solicitation. The certificate representing the securities bears a restrictive legend. On the basis of these facts, these securities were issued in a transactions not involving public offerings and were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

1 Our share repurchase program was announced on April 24, 2012. The Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase an aggregate of $10 million of our outstanding Class A common stock and the operating company's Class B units on the open market and in private transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. In February 2014, the Company announced an increase of $20 million in the aggregate amount authorized under the repurchase program. The timing, number and value of common shares and units repurchased are subject to the Company’s discretion. The Company’s share repurchase program is not subject to an expiration date and may be suspended, discontinued, or modified at any time, for any reason.  

2 Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Program reflects the remainder of the current repurchase program. This amount also reflects the repurchase of 31,908 of the operating company's Class B units during April 2014 for an average price of $10.17 per unit and 15,755 Class B units during June 2014 for an average price of $11.15 per unit. Class B units are repurchased at the closing price of our Class A common stock on the date of the transaction since Class B units are exchangeable for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Section 1.03. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires from Landlord, the Demised Premises, together with the right to use, in common with others, such portions of the lobbies, elevators and other public portions, and any common areas, of the Building as may be necessary for access to, and for the use of, the Demised Premises, for the Lease Term, and for the Fixed Rent and additional rent herein reserved, and subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, conditions, limitations, reservations and provisions hereinafter set forth. ARTICLE 2 COMMENCEMENT OF LEASE TERM Section 2.01. A. The term of this Lease shall commence on the date (the "Commencement Date") that Landlord shall deliver the Demised Premises to Tenant, which is anticipated to occur no later than October 1, 2014. B. The term of this Lease shall expire at noon on December 31, 2025 (the "Expiration Date"), or shall end on such earlier date upon which such term may expire or be cancelled or terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or by law. C. Promptly following the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver a supplementary agreement (in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit "B", and pertaining to the matters set forth therein) setting forth the dates of the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date, but the failure to so execute or deliver said supplementary agreement shall not in any way reduce Tenant's obligations or Landlord's rights under this Lease. Section 2.02. A. Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Demised Premises in "as is" and "where is" condition on the Commencement Date, except that Landlord shall be required to remove all moveable furniture (including moveable cubicles and work stations) and personalty from the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any work whatsoever to prepare the Demised Premises for Tenant.

B. Supplementing the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord reserves the right to remove, prior to the Commencement Date and at Landlord's own cost and expense, any and all of the leasehold improvements and fixtures from the Demised Premises, including doors, door frames, lights, carpets and glass. Any leasehold improvements and fixtures so removed by Landlord shall thereupon become the exclusive property of Landlord. Any leasehold improvements and fixtures remaining in the Demised Premises on the Commencement Date shall thereupon become the exclusive property of Tenant. Landlord makes no warranty or representation of any kind as to the condition of any leasehold improvements and fixtures remaining in the Demised Premises on the Commencement Date. Section 2.03. If Landlord shall be unable to give possession of the Demised Premises on the anticipated Commencement Date by reason of the fact that the Demised Premises are not ready for occupancy, or by reason of fire or other casualty, or for any other reason, then, except as expressly provided below, Landlord shall not be subjected to any liability for the failure to give possession on said date. No such failure by Landlord to give possession by the Commencement Date shall affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder or be deemed to extend the Lease Term, but, except if the same shall be the result of a Force Majeure Event, and provided that Tenant is then prepared to immediately begin performing Tenant's Initial Work in the Demised Premises, (i) the Rent Commencement Date shall be postponed by one (1) day for each day following December 31, 2014 (the "Outside Delivery Date") that the Commencement Date shall fail to occur, (ii) Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to $1,000 per day for each day following the Outside Delivery Date that the Commencement Date shall fail to occur through and including January 15, 2015, (iii) Landlord shall pay to Tenant an amount equal to $2,000 per day for each day following January 15, 2015 that the Commencement Date shall fail to occur, and (iv) if the Commencement Date shall fail to occur on or before February 28, 2015, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease (the "Delivery Failure Termination Right"), but only by giving Landlord written notice thereof prior to the earlier of (x) the Commencement Date, and (y) March 10, 2015. Upon Tenant having timely delivered such termination notice to Landlord, (I) this Lease shall be deemed canceled and terminated on the tenth (10th) day following Landlord's receipt of such written notice, (II) Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit to Tenant, and (III) except as to the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Section 21.01 below and the payment by Landlord to Tenant of the damages set forth below in this Section 2.03, neither party shall have any further obligations to the other under this Lease. For the purposes hereof, Tenant shall be deemed to be "prepared to immediately begin performing Tenant's Initial Work in the Demised Premises" on the date that the last of the following conditions shall have been satisfied: (a) Landlord shall have approved a complete set of plans and specifications for the demolition portion of Tenant's Initial Work, (b) Tenant shall have submitted to the New York City Department of Buildings all plans, specifications and construction drawings necessary to obtain a construction permit for the demolition portion of Tenant's Initial Work, (c) the New York City Department of Buildings shall have issued a construction permit for the demolition portion of Tenant's Initial Work, (d) all of the necessary contractors and subcontractors shall have been engaged by (or on behalf of) Tenant to perform the demolition portion of Tenant's Initial Work, and (e) such contractors and/or subcontractors shall be available to begin the actual performance of the demolition portion of Tenant's Initial Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, except if the same shall be the result of a Force Majeure Event, and provided that Tenant is then prepared to 42714I.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
immediately begin performing Tenant's Initial Work in the Demised Premises, if the Commencement Date shall fail to occur on or before February 28, 2015, then, at Tenant's option, Landlord shall, in lieu of paying to Tenant any further installments of the per day amounts set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above from and after the receipt of the Reimbursement Notice (as hereinafter defined), reimburse Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Tenant's written request therefor (the "Reimbursement Notice"), for the Reimbursable Damages (as hereinafter defined), if any, provided that such Reimbursable Damages shall in no event exceed $1,000,000.00 (which Reimbursement Notice shall be accompanied by evidence reasonably sufficient to establish the amount of the Reimbursable Damages). The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. For purposes hereof, the term "Reimbursable Damages" shall be deemed to mean the actual damages, if any, incurred by Tenant as the direct result of Tenant not being able to commence the performance of Tenant's Initial Work in the Demised Premises on or before February 28, 2015, including (A) in the event that Tenant does not exercise the Delivery Failure Termination Right, (1) architectural, project management, engineering and permit fees and rent incurred by Tenant in connection with any temporary swing space procured by Tenant, (2) any increase in the rent paid by Tenant with respect to Tenant's existing premises, to the extent that such increase is solely attributable to Tenant's holding over therein, and (3) reasonable attorneys' and other professional fees and disbursements incurred by Tenant in connection with such holding over and/or the procurement of such temporary swing space, or (B) in the event that Tenant timely exercises the Delivery Failure Termination Right, (W) architectural, project management and engineering fees incurred by Tenant in connection with the proposed occupancy by Tenant of the Demised Premises, (X) the costs of permits and pre-ordered materials specific to the Demised Premises, (Y) any increase in the rent paid by Tenant with respect to Tenant's existing premises, to the extent that such increase is solely attributable to Tenant's holding over therein, and (Z) reasonable attorneys' and other professional fees and disbursements incurred by Tenant in connection with the negotiation of this Lease. Section 2.04. The parties hereto agree that this Article 2 constitutes an express provision as to the time at which Landlord shall deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby waives any rights to rescind this Lease which Tenant might otherwise have pursuant to Section 223-a of the Real Property Law of the State of New York, or pursuant to any other law of like import now or hereafter in force. ARTICLE 3 RENT Section 3.01. Tenant covenants and agrees that, during the entire Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Fixed Rent at the annual rate set forth in Section 1.01, in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term, at the office of Landlord (or, upon no less than thirty (30) days' written notice to Tenant, such other place as Landlord may designate), without any abatement, reduction, setoff, counterclaim, defense or deduction whatsoever; it being agreed, however, that if Tenant shall not then be in default of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Landlord hereby excuses Tenant's obligation to pay Fixed Rent for the period from the Commencement Date through December 31, 2014 (the "Rent Concession Period"; with the day immediately following the expiration of the Rent Concession Period (i.e., January 1, 2015) being referred to herein as the "Rent Commencement Date"). In the event that Tenant's obligation to pay Fixed Rent shall commence on a date which shall be other than the first day of a calendar month, the Fixed Rent shall be prorated at the rental rate applicable during the first year of the Lease Term, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord together with the first full monthly installment of Fixed Rent as shall become due hereunder. Section 3.02. All costs, charges, expenses and payments (including the payments required to be made by Tenant pursuant to Article 19 below) which Tenant assumes, agrees or shall be obligated to pay to Landlord or others pursuant to this Lease (other than Fixed Rent) shall be deemed additional rent, and, in the event that Tenant shall fail to timely pay the same, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect thereto as are provided for herein or by applicable law in the case of non-payment of rent. Section 3.03. Tenant covenants to pay the Fixed Rent and additional rent as provided in this Lease, when due and without notice or demand, in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment. If any installment of Fixed Rent or any additional rent shall not be paid within five (5) Business Days after such installment of Fixed Rent or additional rent shall have first become due, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord (i) an administrative late charge equal to one (1%) percent of such installment of Fixed Rent or additional rent, and (ii) interest thereon from the due date until such installment of Fixed Rent or additional rent is fully paid at the "Interest Rate" (defined in Article 16 below); provided that Tenant shall not be required to pay interest (or an administrative charge) the first (1st) time in any calendar year that Tenant fails to pay Fixed Rent or additional rent within five (5) Business Days after such payment shall first become due, unless Tenant shall have failed to pay such rent within five (5) Business Days after Landlord shall have given Tenant notice that such rent is past due. Such administrative late charge and interest charge shall be due and payable as additional rent within fifteen (15) days after Landlord shall render a bill therefor to Tenant. Upon default in payment by Tenant (after notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period) of any of the aforementioned charges, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies provided for upon default of the Fixed Rent. The foregoing obligations on the part of the Tenant shall not preclude the simultaneous or subsequent exercise by Landlord of any and all other rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Fixed Rent or additional rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Fixed Rent or additional rent (unless Landlord, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, shall otherwise and in writing so elect), nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or in any letter accompanying any check or payment, as Fixed Rent or additional rent, be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Fixed Rent and additional rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease, at law or in equity. 427141.0113 NY 751131I8v1 06/04/2014


 
Section 3.04. If all or any part of the Fixed Rent or additional rent shall at any time become uncollectible, reduced or required to be refunded by virtue of any Legal Requirements (including rent control or stabilization laws), then for the period prescribed by said Legal Requirements, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the maximum amounts permitted pursuant to said Legal Requirements, and Tenant shall execute and deliver such agreement(s) and take such other steps as Landlord may reasonably request and as may be legally permissible to permit Landlord to collect the maximum rent which, from time to time during the continuance of such legal rent restriction, may be legally permissible (and not in excess of the amounts then reserved therefor under this Lease). Upon the expiration or other legal termination of the applicable period of time during which such amounts shall be uncollectible, reduced or refunded: (a) the Fixed Rent and additional rent shall become and shall thereafter be payable in accordance with the amounts reserved herein for the periods following such expiration or termination, and (b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent, within fifteen (15) days after demand, all uncollected, reduced or refunded amounts that would have been payable for the aforesaid period absent such Legal Requirements. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease for a period of two (2) years. Section 3.05. If Landlord (or any Mortgagee or the managing agent for the Building) shall direct Tenant to pay Fixed Rent or additional rent to a "lockbox" or other depository whereby checks issued in payment of Fixed Rent or additional rent (or both, as the case may be) are initially cashed or deposited by a person or entity other than Landlord (albeit on Landlord's authority), then, for any and all purposes under this Lease: (i) Landlord shall not be deemed to have accepted such payment until ten (10) days after the date on which Landlord shall have actually received such funds, and (ii) Landlord shall be deemed to have accepted such payment if (and only if) within said ten (10) day period, Landlord shall not have refunded (or attempted to refund) such payment to Tenant. Nothing contained in the immediately preceding sentence shall be construed to place Tenant in default of Tenant's obligation to pay rent, nor shall any late charge or interest resulting therefrom be imposed, if and for so long as Tenant shall timely pay the rent required pursuant to this Lease in the manner designated by Landlord. Section 3.06. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 3, provided that Landlord shall give Tenant not less than ten (10) days written notice thereof (which notice shall identify a domestic bank and contain appropriate wire instructions), Tenant shall pay all future monthly installments of Fixed Rent at the office of such domestic bank, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, to the account of Landlord. On not less than ten (10) days written notice, Landlord may thereafter revise or revoke such direction to pay Fixed Rent by wire transfer. If Landlord shall direct Tenant to pay Fixed Rent by wire transfer, then Tenant shall not be in default of Tenant's obligation to pay Fixed Rent (and Tenant shall not be responsible for the payment of any late charge or interest resulting therefrom) if and for so long as Tenant shall timely comply with Landlord's wire instructions in connection with such payments. Accordingly, if Tenant shall have timely complied with Landlord's instructions pertaining to a wire transfer, but the funds shall thereafter have been misdirected or not accounted for properly by the recipient bank designated by Landlord, then the same shall not relieve Tenant's obligation to make the payment so wired, but shall toll the due date for such payment until the wired funds shall have been located. However, for all other purposes under this Lease: (i) Landlord shall not be deemed to have accepted such payment until ten (10) days after the date on which such funds shall have actually been deposited in Landlord's account at said bank, and (ii) Landlord shall be deemed to have accepted such payment if (and only if) within said ten (10) day period, Landlord shall not have refunded (or attempted to refund) such payment to Tenant. ARTICLE 4 USE Section 4.01. Tenant shall use and occupy the Demised Premises for the Authorized Use, and for no other purpose. Section 4.02. Without in any way Iimiting the restrictions on use contained in Section 4.01, Tenant specifically agrees that Tenant shall not permit any part of the Demised Premises to be used for retail banking or lending purposes of any kind (but the foregoing restriction shall apply only if the same shall be open to the general public on an "off the street" basis); or for a safe deposit business or the sale of travelers checks and/or foreign exchange; or as a kitchen, restaurant or cafeteria (other than a typical office pantry area, including a vending machine, water cooler/heater, dishwasher, microwave and refrigerator for the exclusive use of Tenant's employees, visitors and permitted subtenants and Desk Sharing Entities (with such pantry being hereinafter referred to as "Tenant's Pantry"), but in no event shall any open flame cooking be permitted anywhere in the Demised Premises); or for manufacturing, storage, shipping or receiving; or for retail securities brokerage purposes (but the foregoing restriction shall apply only if the same shall be open to the general public on an "off the street" basis); or for any retail sales to the general public or as a store; or for the sale of any food or beverage (other than by vending machines for the exclusive use of Tenant's employees, visitors and permitted subtenants and Desk Sharing Entities); or as a news and cigar stand (or anything similar thereto); or for any sale of merchandise with delivery at or from the Demised Premises (other than by vending machines for the exclusive use of Tenant's employees, visitors and permitted subtenants and Desk Sharing Entities); or for the production of samples or workroom; or for any purpose other than the Authorized Use. In addition, the Demised Premises may not be used by (i) an agency, department or bureau of the United States Government, any state or municipality within the United States, or any foreign government, or any political subdivision of any of them, or (ii) any tax exempt entity within the meaning of Section 168(h)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any successor or substitute statute, or rule or regulation applicable thereto (as same may be amended). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall so request, Landlord shall consider waiving the use restriction set forth in the immediately preceding clause (ii) with respect to the entirety or any portion(s) of the Demised Premises, but Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, in each case, the decision as to whether or not Landlord shall grant such waiver shall be made by Landlord in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. 427141 .0 113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Section 4.03. Tenant expressly acknowledges that irreparable injury will result to Landlord in the event of a breach of any of the covenants made by Tenant in this Article 4, and it is agreed that, in the event of such breach, Landlord shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available, to an injunction to restrain the violation thereof. Breach of any of Tenant's covenants under this Article shall also constitute an Event of Default pursuant and subject to the provisions of Article 15 hereof. ARTICLE 5 ALTERATIONS; LIENS, TENANT'S PROPERTY Section 5.01. A. Tenant shall make no Alterations in or to the Demised Premises, including removal or installation of partitions, doors, electrical installations, plumbing installations, water coolers (other than free- standing, self-contained 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 Landlord's prior written consent and then only by contractors or mechanics approved in writing by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.01, Tenant shall have the right, on not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord, but without being required to obtain Landlord's consent, to perform Alterations in or to the Demised Premises which do not require the issuance of a building permit or any other governmental authorization and which are purely decorative in nature (e.g., painting and the installation or removal of carpeting or wall coverings; collectively, " Decorative Changes"), provided that such Decorative Changes are made entirely, and visible only, within the Demised Premises, but Tenant shall nonetheless comply with all of the other requirements governing Alterations set forth in this Lease. B. It shall be Tenant's responsibility and obligation to ensure that all Alterations: (i) shall be made at Tenant's own cost and expense and at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate (including rules governing Alterations as Landlord may from time to time make as provided under the provisions of Article 26 below), (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 asbestos and to access for the handicapped or disabled) and all orders, rules and regulations of Insurance Boards, (iii) shall be made promptly and in a good and workmanlike manner using prime quality materials, and (iv) shall not affect the exterior appearance of the Building or be visible from the exterior of the Building, it being Landlord's intention to keep the exterior appearance of the Building uniform (and, in pursuance thereof, Landlord shall have the right to approve the appearance of all such Alterations, including ceiling heights, blinds, lighting, signs and other decorations). In order to ensure, maintain and control the quality and standards of materials and workmanship in and the effective security of the Building, including the Demised Premises, Tenant acknowledges that it is reasonable to require Tenant, and Tenant hereby covenants and agrees, to use only general contractors, construction managers and subcontractors (collectively, "Tenant's Contractors") first approved in writing by Landlord; provided, however, that any Alterations to the sprinkler, Class E or other life/safety systems of the Building, or connections to the condenser water system of the Building, shall be performed only by such contractor(s) designated by Landlord. Landlord expressly reserves the right to exclude from the Building any person attempting to perform any work or act as a Tenant's Contractor without Landlord's prior written consent. . C. Except with respect to Tenant's Initial Work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a supervisory fee an amount equal to three (3%) percent of the cost of any Alterations to be performed by Tenant or by Persons Within Tenant's Control. Such supervisory fee shall be additional rent and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to the commencement of any such Alterations, based on the estimated cost of such Alterations, and, upon the completion of such Alterations, (a) if the actual cost of such Alterations exceeds the estimated cost of such Alterations, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between (i) three (3%) percent of the actual cost of such Alterations and (ii) the amount previously paid as the estimated supervisory fee prior to the commencement of such Alterations, or (b) if the actual cost of such Alterations is less than the estimated cost of such Alterations, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days after Tenant's request therefor (which request shall be accompanied by evidence reasonably sufficient to establish such cost savings), either reimburse Tenant for the portion of the supervisory fee allocable to such cost savings or credit the amount of such cost savings against the next monthly installment of Fixed Rent payable under this Lease. D. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions of this Article 5 shall apply to Tenant's Initial Work, as well as to all future Alterations. E. A list of currently approved contractors and major trade subcontractors is annexed hereto as Exhibit "G" and made a part hereof. The contractors and subcontractors identified on said list shall be deemed to be approved only for the performance of Tenant's Initial Work, and not for future Alterations. Following completion of Tenant's Initial Work, Landlord shall have the unfettered right to revise said list in any manner Landlord deems appropriate. Section 5.02. A. Prior to commencing the performance of any Alterations, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord: (i) Plans and specifications (to be prepared by a licensed architect or engineer engaged by Tenant, at the cost and expense of Tenant), in sufficient detail to be accepted for filing by the New York 427141.0113 NY 75I 13113y1 06/04/2014


 
City Department of Buildings (or any successor or other governmental agency serving a similar function), of such proposed Alterations (other than Decorative Changes), and Tenant shall not commence the performance thereof unless and until Landlord shall have given written consent to said plans and specifications; (ii) A certificate evidencing that Tenant (or Tenant'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 Overlandlord, Landlord, Tenant, the Land and/or the Building; (iii) Such additional personal injury and property damage insurance (over and above the insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.03 below), and builder's risk, fire and other casualty insurance as Landlord may reasonably require in connection with the work to be done for Tenant; (iv) Except with respect to Tenant's Initial Work (with respect to which the provisions of this subdivision (iv) shall not apply), if at the relevant point in time the Building shall be subject to an Underlying Lease or Mortgage, and the work to be undertaken is of such a nature that it requires the approval of the OverlandIord or any Mortgagee, then such approval shall be obtained at Tenant's own cost and expense; (v) Except with respect to Tenant's Initial Work (with respect to which the provisions of this subdivision (v) shall not apply), if the work requires expenditures by Tenant in excess of an amount equal to five (5) monthly installments of the then prevailing Fixed Rent, a surety company performance bond in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord (procured at Tenant's own cost and expense), issued by a surety company acceptable to Landlord, or other security satisfactory to Landlord, in an amount equal to at least 120% of the estimated cost of such Alterations, guaranteeing to Landlord, Overlandlord and any Mortgagee the completion thereof and payment therefor within a reasonable time, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, chattel mortgages, security interests, conditional bills of sale and other charges, and in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord; (vi) Such permits, authorizations or consents (which permits, authorizations or consents may be self-certified, if and to the extent permissible under the applicable Legal Requirements, by Tenant's architect) as may be required by any applicable Legal Requirements, all of which shall be obtained at Tenant's cost and expense, provided, however, that (a) no plans, specifications or applications shall be filed by Tenant with any governmental authority without Tenant first obtaining Landlord's written consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that Landlord shall have otherwise consented thereto pursuant to the applicable provisions of Subsection 5.01A above), and (b) Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in connection therewith, including the signing by Landlord, concurrently with Landlord's approval of Tenant's Plans (as hereinafter defined), of such permit and related applications customarily signed by building owners on behalf of their office tenants, but only if and to the extent that (x) Landlord shall not incur any out-of- pocket expense or suffer any liability thereby (it being agreed, however, that, for the purposes hereof, Landlord shall not be deemed to incur an expense if Tenant agrees to promptly reimburse Landlord for the entire amount of such expense), and (y) Tenant shall have submitted such permit and related applications to Landlord for Landlord's signature at the time that Tenant shall have requested Landlord's approval of Tenant's Plans; and (vii) A written letter of authorization, in form satisfactory to Landlord, signed by all architects, engineers, surveyors, designers and contractors who become involved in such Alterations, which shall confirm that, at Landlord's request (which request shall be made only if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing), any and all of their respective drawings, plans and permits are to be removed or withdrawn from any filing with governmental authorities. B. In the event that Landlord shall submit the plans and specifications referred to in clause (i) of Subsection 5.02A above to Landlord's third party (i.e., not in-house) architects and/or engineers for review, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for Landlord's actual, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such review within fifteen (15) days after written notice to Tenant, accompanied by reasonable evidence of the amount of such expense. With respect to Tenant's Initial Work only, such review fees shall only be applicable (i) to the review of proposed Specialty Alterations, or (ii) if incurred to enable Landlord to determine the extent to which components of Tenant's Initial Work would constitute Specialty Alterations. C. Tenant shall keep accurate and complete cost records of all Alterations performed by Tenant or by Persons Within Tenant's Control, and shall furnish to Landlord true copies thereof and/or of all contracts entered into and work orders issued by Tenant in connection therewith within thirty (30) days following Landlord's request therefor. Landlord's review of, and/or any failure by Landlord to object to, any such contract or work order shall not: (i) be construed as an approval by Landlord of such contract or work order or the contents thereof, (ii) impose any liability on Landlord in connection therewith, or (iii) relieve Tenant of any obligation of Tenant with respect to such Alterations or the Demised Premises as otherwise set forth in this Lease. D. In connection with (i) proposed Alterations to be performed by Tenant that are not Structural Alterations, and (ii) Tenant's Initial Work, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to review Tenant's final plans and specifications for any Alterations requiring Landlord's consent that Tenant desires to perform in the Demised Premises within fifteen (15) Business Days after Tenant shall have submitted to Landlord a complete set of such final plans and specifications (including architectural, electrical, sprinkler, fire alarm,, lighting, mechanical, duct distribution and plumbing, if applicable), in detail sufficient to (x) enable the New York City Department of Buildings to issue a building notice or permit (if such issuance is required by Legal Requirements), and (y) identify all materials to be incorporated in such work (collectively, "Tenant's Plans"). Accordingly, 6 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Landlord shall notify Tenant (a) within said 15-Business Day period, that Landlord consents to Tenant's PIans, (b) within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant shall have submitted to Landlord a complete set of such plans and specifications, that Landlord requires additional information or details in order to evaluate Tenant's Plans, or (c) within said 15-Business Day period, Landlord's reason(s) for refusing to consent to Tenant's Plans and/or required revision(s) to Tenant's Plans; it being agreed, however, that Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for Landlord's failure to so notify Tenant within said 15-Business Day period or ten (10) Business Day period, as the case may be, but the provisions of the last two sentences of this Subsection 5.02D shall apply thereto. Tenant agrees that any review or approval by Landlord of any Tenant's Plans is solely for Landlord's benefit, and without any representation or warranty whatsoever to Tenant with respect to the adequacy, correctness or efficiency thereof or otherwise. The granting by Landlord of Landlord's approval of any Tenant's Plans shall in no way constitute or be deemed to constitute a judgment or acknowledgment by Landlord as to the compliance of such Tenant's Plans with any applicable Legal Requirements. If Landlord shall deliver a notice to Tenant (x) denying approval of Tenant's Plans within fifteen (15) Business Days after Landlord's receipt thereof, or (y) requesting additional information or details in order to evaluate Tenant's Plans within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's receipt thereof, and Tenant delivers a revised (and complete pursuant to the foregoing requirements of this Subsection 5.02D) set of Tenant's Plans to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers such notice, then Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to review (without charge to Tenant) Tenant's revised plans and specifications within ten (10) Business Days after Tenant shall have submitted such revised plans and specifications to Landlord. If Landlord shall fail to respond to Tenant in connection with Tenant's requested approval of such Tenant's Plans within (i) fifteen (15) Business Days after Landlord's initial receipt thereof, or (ii) ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's receipt of revised plans, as the case may be, then Tenant may deliver a second written notice to Landlord requesting LandIord's approval thereof. If Landlord shall fail to respond to Tenant within five (5) Business Days after Landlord's receipt of said second notice, then, as Tenant's sole remedy in connection therewith, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such Tenant's Plans, provided that such second notice shall have borne the following legend typed in bold, capital letters at the top: "IF LANDLORD SHALL FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER LANDLORD'S RECEIPT OF THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL, LANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS DELIVERED TOGETHER HEREWITH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUBSECTION 5.02D OF THE LEASE." Section 5.03. A. In no event shall any material or equipment be incorporated in or to the Demised Premises in connection with any Alteration which is subject to any lien, encumbrance, chattel mortgage, security interest, charge of any kind whatsoever, or is subject to any conditional sale or other similar or dissimilar title retention agreement. B. Tenant shall not create or permit to be created any lien, encumbrance or charge (levied on account of any taxes or any mechanic's, laborer's or materialman's lien, conditional sale, title retention agreement or otherwise) which might be or become a Iien, encumbrance or charge upon the Land or Building or any part thereof or the income therefrom, and Tenant shall not suffer any other matter or thing whereby the estate, rights and interest of Landlord in the Land or Building or any part thereof might be impaired. Tenant shall take all steps necessary under local laws to prevent the imposition of such a lien, encumbrance or charge on the Land or Building. C. If, in connection with Tenant's Initial Work or future Alterations (performed by or on behalf of Tenant), any lien, encumbrance or charge referred to in this Section 5.03 shall at any time be filed against the Land or Building or any part thereof, then Tenant, within thirty (30) days after Tenant shall have been given notice of the filing thereof and at Tenant's own cost and expense, shall cause the same to be discharged of record (including by deposit or by bonding proceedings sufficient to remove such lien under applicable Legal Requirements), and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against and defend and hold Landlord harmless from all costs, expenses, liabilities, losses, fines and penalties, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, resulting therefrom. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged within the aforesaid period (including by deposit or by bonding proceedings sufficient to remove such lien under applicable Legal Requirements), then, in addition to any other right or remedy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit or by bonding proceedings, and in any such event Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount so paid by Landlord and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, shall constitute additional rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, which additional rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand. D. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied by inference or otherwise, to any contractor, subcontractor, laborer or materialman for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of labor or materials for the specific improvement, alteration to or repair of the Demised Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any lien against the Land, Building, Demised Premises or any part thereof. Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any work performed or to be performed at the Demised Premises for Tenant or any subtenant, or for any materials furnished or to be furnished at the Demised Premises for Tenant or any subtenant upon credit, and that no mechanic's or other lien for such work or materials shall attach to or affect the estate or interest of Landlord in and to the Land, Building or Demised Premises. Landlord shall have the right to post and keep posted on the Demised Premises any notices which Landlord may be required to post for the protection of Landlord, the Land, Building and/or the Demised Premises from any lien. 427141.0113 NY 75113118vI 06/04/2014


 
L. Tenant shall have no power to do any act or make any contract which may create or be the foundation for any lien, mortgage or other encumbrance upon the reversion or other estate of Landlord or of any interest of Landlord in the Demised Premises. Section 5.04. Tenant shall not at any time, either directly or indirectly, use any contractors or labor or materials in the Demised Premises if the use of such contractors or labor or materials would create any work stoppage, picketing, labor disruption or any other difficulty with other contractors or labor engaged by Tenant or Landlord or others in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building or any part thereof. Tenant shall immediately stop any work or other activity if Landlord shall notify Tenant that continuing such work or activity would violate the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. Section 5.05. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure or diminution of any Building Systems or services, or for any damage to Tenant's property or the property of any other person, caused by Alterations made by Tenant or by Persons Within Tenant's Control, notwithstanding Landlord's consent thereto or to the plans and specifications therefor. Landlord's consent to any such plans or specifications shall not be deemed a representation of any kind that the same conform to the applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall promptly correct any faulty or improper Alteration made by Tenant or by Persons Within Tenant's Control, and shall repair any and all damage caused thereby. Upon Tenant's failure to promptly make such corrections and repairs, Landlord may make such corrections and repairs and charge Tenant for the cost thereof. Such charge shall be deemed additional rent, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Landlord shall render a bill therefor to Tenant. Section 5.06. A. All movable property, furniture, furnishings and trade fixtures furnished by or at the expense of Tenant, other than those affixed to the Demised Premises so that they cannot be removed without damage, shall remain the property of Tenant, and may be removed by Tenant from time to time prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term specifying any such items of property which Tenant does not wish to remove. If within thirty (30) days after the service of such notice Landlord shall request Tenant to remove any of said items, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, remove said items prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. All other items of Tenant's property shall be removed by Tenant on or before the expiration (or sooner termination) of the Lease Term. B. All Alterations made by either party, including all paneling, decorations, partitions, railings, mezzanine floors, galleries and the like, which are affixed to the Demised Premises, shall become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Demised Premises at the end of the Lease Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect to require Tenant to remove "Specialty Alterations" (as such term is defined below), at Tenant's expense, by giving written notice to Tenant either prior to, or within thirty (30) days after, the expiration of the Lease Term, subject to the following condition. If (i) at the time that Tenant shall request Landlord's approval to the performance of an Alteration, Tenant shall also request (in a writing that accompanies the plans and specifications for the proposed Alteration, and which request is delivered to all parties entitled to receive Notices to Landlord pursuant to Article 28 below) that Landlord advise Tenant whether such Alteration constitutes a Specialty Alteration and, if so, whether Landlord is reserving the right to require Tenant to remove such Specialty Alteration at the end of the Lease Term, and (ii) Landlord shall not, at the time that Landlord shall respond to such Alteration consent request, advise Tenant that such Alteration is a Specialty Alteration and that Landlord is reserving the right to require Tenant to remove such Specialty Alteration at the end of the Lease Term, then Landlord shall not have the right to require Tenant to remove such Specialty Alteration at the end of the Lease Term. For the purposes hereof, the term "Specialty Alterations" shall mean and include any Alteration that is not an ordinary office installation, as reasonably determined by Landlord. By way of example only, a kitchen, cafeteria, private lavatory, raised floor, vault, safe, internal stairway or slab cut would each be deemed to be a Specialty Alteration (it being understood and agreed that the foregoing is merely a list of non-exclusive examples of a Specialty Alteration, and does not constitute, nor shall it be construed as, Landlord's consent to the installation thereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to remove (a) the installation of Tenant's Pantry, (b) the installation of any BX cabling above dropped ceilings in the Demised Premises, or (c) any trenching of the floor of the Demised Premises for electrical and/or data cabling, in each case, that was performed or installed in the Demised Premises as part of Tenant's Initial Work. C. In any case where Tenant removes any property or Alterations in accordance with Subsections A and B above, or otherwise, Tenant shall immediately repair all (other than de minimis) damage caused by said removal and shall restore the Demised Premises to good order and condition at Tenant's expense, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may do so at Tenant's cost and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord therefor upon written demand, accompanied by reasonable evidence of the amount of such expense. In addition, if Tenant shall remove any mechanical or other equipment within the Demised Premises containing chlorofluorocarbons, the removal of such equipment shall conform with all Legal Requirements and industry practices, and shall be performed by contractors and in accordance with procedures approved by Landlord. D. Upon failure of Tenant to remove any property or Alterations in accordance with Subsections A and B above, or upon failure of Tenant to notify Landlord of any property it does not wish to remove from the Demised Premises in accordance with Subsection A above, then, as to such property, or upon termination of this Lease pursuant to Article 15 hereof, Landlord may, at Tenant's expense: (i) remove all such property and Alterations which Landlord may require Tenant to remove pursuant to Subsections A and B above, (ii) cause the same to be placed in storage, and (iii) repair any damage caused by said removal and restore the Demised Premises to good order and condition. Tenant shall, upon demand and as additional rent, reimburse Landlord for all of the aforesaid expenses. In addition, any items of property or Alterations not removed by Tenant may, at the election of 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant, and Landlord may retain and dispose of some or all of said items without any liability to Tenant and without accounting to Tenant for the proceeds thereof. E. The provisions of this Section 5.06 shall survive the expiration or sooner t ermination of the Lease Term, whereupon any and all monetary obligations of Tenant pursuant thereto shall be deemed damages recoverable by Landlord. Section 5.07. . If Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Article 5, Landlord, in addition to any other remedy herein provided, may require Tenant to immediately cease all work being performed in the Building by or on behalf of Tenant, and Landlord may deny access to the Demised Premises to any person performing work or supplying materials in the Demised Premises. ARTICLE 6 REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE Section 6.01. Tenant shall take good care of the Demised Premises and the fixtures, glass, appurtenances and equipment therein (including (i) all portions of the Building Systems that are located within the Demised Premises, (ii) any sprinkler loop and distribution pipes and heads, and any ventilation and air-conditioning ducts and components of a distribution system, and (iii) any private bathrooms in or appurtenant to the Demised Premises), and at Tenant's own cost and expense shall make all Repairs as and when needed to preserve them in good working order and condition during the Lease Term, whether or not such Repairs are ordinary or extraordinary, or foreseen or unforeseen at this time, and whether or not such Repairs pertain to improvements in the Demised Premises furnished or installed by Landlord, but excluding Repairs to the rough floor, the rough ceiling, exterior walls or load-bearing columns, unless required under the provisions of following sentence. All damage or injury to the Demised Premises, or to the Building or the Building Systems outside of the Demised Premises, or to improvements or portions of Building Systems furnished or installed by Landlord in the Demised Premises, caused by or arising from any act or omission of Tenant, or of any Person Within Tenant's Control, including those which are structural, extraordinary and unforeseen, shall be promptly repaired, restored or replaced by Tenant, at Tenant's own cost and expense. All Repairs shall be in quality and class equal to or better than the original work or installations, and shall be performed in good and workmanlike manner, using prime quality materials. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.01, if and to the extent that (a) the Demised Premises or Building is not in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements on the Commencement Date, and (b) as a result of such non-compliance, corrective work is required to be performed to the Demised Premises or Building pursuant to such Legal Requirements, then Landlord shall perform such corrective work at Landlord's own cost and expense ("Landlord's Compliance Obligation"). Section 6.02. Subject to the provisions of Article 9 below, and provided that Tenant shall have given notice to Landlord of the need therefor, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly make or cause to be made all Repairs, structural and otherwise, necessary to keep in good order and repair the exterior of the Building and the public portions of the Building, as well as the air-conditioning and ventilation units serving the Demised Premises (as described in Article 18 below), other than those Repairs required to be made by Tenant as provided in Section 6.01. There shall be no allowance to Tenant for a diminution of rental value or interruption of business, and no liability on the part of Landlord, by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Landlord, Tenant or others making any Repairs or Alterations in or to any portion of the Building or Building Systems or the Demised Premises. Section 6.03. If any Insurance Boards or Legal Requirements shall require or recommend installation of fire extinguishers or of a "sprinkler system" or any other fire protection devices, or any changes, modifications, alterations or additions thereto for any reason, whether or not attributable to Tenant's use of the Demised Premises, or if any such installation or equipment becomes necessary to prevent the imposition of a penalty or charge against the full allowance for a sprinkler or fire extinguishing system in the fire insurance rate as fixed by Insurance Boards, or by any fire insurance company, then Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall promptly install the necessary sprinkler heads and piping within the Demised Premises and supply such changes, modifications, alterations, additions or other equipment, provided that Landlord shall have installed the Base Building sprinkler system serving the floor(s) on which the Demised Premises are located. In the event that Landlord shall make any such installation (including sprinklers, stair pressurizers, water towers), or any such change, modification, alteration or additions outside of the Demised Premises (such as, without Iimitation, in the common area), Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as additional rent, an amount equal to Tenant's Operating Share of the cost thereof. Such reimbursement shall be made by Tenant within fifteen (15) days after written notice to Tenant of such amount. Landlord represents to Tenant that the main sprinkler loop serving the Demised Premises (but not including any sprinkler heads or sprinkler distribution system attached thereto) shall be in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements on the Commencement Date. Section 6.04. In any case where Tenant shall be required to make Repairs or perform any work pursuant to this Article and such Repairs or work shall affect the Building Systems or areas outside of the Demised Premises, Landlord may, in Landlord's discretion and on notice to Tenant (which notice will be in writing except in an emergency), elect to make such Repairs or to perform such work for and on behalf of Tenant, but at Tenant's cost and expense. In such event. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for the cost of such Repairs and/or work within fifteen (15) days after Landlord shall furnish a statement to Tenant of the amount thereof, which statement shaII be accompanied by reasonably detailed information showing the basis for such cost. Section 6.05. Tenant shall maintain the Demised Premises and the areas appurtenant thereto (including any permitted signs or cameras under Tenant's control or installed by or on behalf of Tenant) in a clean and orderly condition that is consistent with the use and appearance of the Building. If Tenant shall fail to so maintain the 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Demised Premises or appurtenant areas to the satisfaction of Landlord, then, in addition to any other right or remedy that Landlord shall be entitled to exercise pursuant to other provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, on notice to Tenant and at Tenant's cost and expense, to enter into the Demised Premises and such appurtenant areas for the express purpose of rectifying the condition thereof and restoring the Demised Premises and such appurtenant areas to the condition and appearance required hereunder. ARTICLE 7 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW Section 7.01. A. Tenant shall not do, and shall not permit Persons Within Tenant's Control to do, any act or thing in or upon the Demised Premises or the Building which will invalidate or be in conflict with the certificate of occupancy for the Demised Premises or the Building, or which will violate any Legal Requirements. Tenant shall, at Tenant's cost and expense, comply with all Legal Requirements (including Local Laws No. 5 of 1973 and No. 16 of 1984, each as modified and supplemented from time to time under the Administrative Code as applicable to the Demised Premises, and all Legal Requirements relating to asbestos) which shall with respect to the Demised Premises or with respect to any abatement of nuisance (including the removal, containment, transportation and disposal of asbestos), impose any violation, order or duty upon Landlord or Tenant arising from, or in connection with, the Demised Premises, Tenant's occupancy, use or manner of use of the Demised Premises, or any installations therein, or required by reason of a breach of any of Tenant's covenants or agreements under this Lease, whether or not such Legal Requirements shall now be in effect or hereafter enacted or issued, and whether or not any work required shall be ordinary or extraordinary or foreseen or unforeseen at the date hereof B.

Section 7.04. If any governmental license or permit shall be required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant's business and if the failure to secure such license or permit would, in any way, affect Landlord or the Building, then Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall promptly procure and thereafter maintain, submit for inspection by Landlord, and at all times comply with the terms and conditions of, each such license or permit.

If, by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with any provision of this Lease, the rate of premium for the Building Insurance or other insurance on the property and equipment of Landlord or any other tenant or subtenant in the Building shall be higher than it otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord and/or such other tenants or subtenants in the Building for that part of the insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord or by the other tenants or subtenants in the Building which shall have been charged because of such failure by Tenant. Tenant shall make said reimbursement on the first day of the month following such payment by Landlord or such other tenants or subtenants. B. In any action or proceeding wherein Landlord and Tenant are parties, a schedule or "make-up" of any insurance rate for the Building or Demised Premises issued by any Insurance Board establishing insurance premium rates for the Building shall be prima facie evidence of the facts therein stated and of the several items and charges in the insurance premium rates then applicable to the Building. Section 8.03. A. Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, obtain, maintain and keep in force during the entire Lease Term, for the benefit of Landlord, the managing agent for the Building, Overlandlord (if applicable) and Tenant, the following insurance coverages: (i) commercial general liability insurance (including premises operation, bodily injury, personal injury, death, independent contractors' liability, owner's protective liability, products and completed operations liability, broad form contractual liability and broad form property damage coverages) in a combined single limit amount of not less than $10,000,000.00, against all claims, demands or actions with respect to damage, injury or death made by or on behalf of any person or entity, arising from or relating to the 11 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
conduct and operation of Tenant's business in., on or about the Demised Premises (which shall include Tenant's signs, if any), or arising from or related to any act or omission of Tenant or of Persons Within Tenant's Control; (ii) during the course of construction of any Tenant's Alterations and until completion thereof, Builder's Risk insurance on an "all risk" basis (including collapse) on a completed value (non-reporting) form for full replacement value covering the interests of Landlord and Tenant (and their respective contractors and subcontractors) in all work incorporated into the Building and all materials and equipment located in or about the Demised Premises; (iii) Workers' Compensation insurance, as required by law; and (iv) if Tenant shall install or maintain one or more boilers or other pressure vessels to serve the Demised Premises or Tenant's operations thereat, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, obtain, maintain and keep in force, for the benefit of Landlord, Overlandlord (if applicable) and Tenant, appropriate insurance coverage thereof in an amount not less than $3,000,000.00 (it being understood and agreed, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a consent by Landlord to the installation and/or maintenance of any boilers or other pressure vessels in the Demised Premises, which installation and/or maintenance shall at all times be subject to the prior written consent of Landlord). All such insurance shall contain only such "deductibles" or "retentions" as Landlord shall reasonably approve. In addition, prior to any entry upon the Demised Premises by Tenant or by any Person Within Tenant's Control, Tenant shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Landlord certificates evidencing that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect. Whenever, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, good business practice and changing conditions indicate a need for additional or different types of insurance coverage in a manner commensurate with that which shall then be required in other Class A office buildings in midtown Manhattan, Tenant shall, upon Landlord's request, promptly obtain such insurance coverage, at Tenant's expense, provided that Landlord shall not make such request more than once in any twelve (12) month period. B. Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, obtain, maintain and keep in force during the entire Lease Term, insurance which shall protect and indemnify Landlord, the managing agent of the Building, Tenant and (if applicable) Overlandlord against any and all damage to or loss of Tenant's Alterations, equipment, furnishings, furniture, fixtures and contents in the Demised Premises or the Building (including all portions of the Building Systems that are located within the Demised Premises, and any sprinkler loop and distribution pipes and heads, and any ventilation and air-conditioning ducts and components of a distribution system, and including any private bathrooms in or appurtenant to the Demised Premises), and all claims and liabilities relating thereto. Such insurance shall be written on an "all risk" of physical loss or damage basis, for the full replacement cost value (new, without deduction for depreciation of the covered items) and in amounts that satisfy any co-insurance clauses of the policies of insurance, and shall include a vandalism and malicious mischief endorsement, with sprinkler leakage coverage. C. Landlord, the managing agent for the Building, and (if applicable) Overlandlord shall be named as additional insureds in said policies and shall be protected against all liability occasioned by an occurrence insured against. All said policies of insurance shall be: (i) written on an "occurrence" basis, (ii) written as primary policy coverage and not contributing with or in excess of any coverage which Landlord, the managing agent for the Building, or Overlandlord may carry, (iii) written in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (iv) issued by insurance companies then rated not less than A:XII in Best's insurance reports, and which are licensed to do business in the State of New York. Tenant shall, prior to the Commencement Date, deliver to Landlord copies of all such policies of insurance, or (x) in the case of the insurance required pursuant to Subsection 8.03A above, certificates thereof, or (y) in the case of the insurance required pursuant to Subsection 8.03B above, an ACORD Form 27 (i.e., "Evidence of Property Insurance Form") or, in Landlord's discretion, such other form or certificate as shall be acceptable to Landlord (but, in any case, including a copy of the waiver of subrogation endorsement required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease), together with evidence of payment of premiums thereon. Thereafter, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any such policies and any renewal thereof, a new policy or certificate or form (as applicable) in lieu thereof, with evidence of the payment of premiums thereon. Each of said policies (and certificate or form, if applicable) shall also contain a provision whereby the insurer agrees not to cancel, diminish or materially modify said insurance policy(ies) without having given Landlord and Overlandlord at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof, by certified mail, return receipt requested. D. Tenant shall pay all premiums and charges for all of said policies, and, if Tenant shall fail to make any payment when due or carry any such policy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or carry such policy, and the amount paid by Landlord, with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant within fifteen (15) days following demand therefor, and all such amounts so repayable, together with such interest, shall be deemed to constitute additional rent hereunder. Payment by Landlord of any such premium, or the carrying by Landlord of any such policy, shall not be deemed to waive or release the default of Tenant with respect thereto. E. Notwithstanding and without regard to the limits of insurance specified in this Section 8.03, Tenant agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and (if applicable) Overlandlord, and the agents, partners, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of Landlord and (if applicable) Overlandlord, from and against all claims, damage, loss, liability, cost and expense (including engineer's, architects' and attorneys' fees and disbursements) resulting from any of the risks referred to in this Section 8.03. The foregoing obligation of Tenant shall be and remain in full force and effect whether or not Tenant has placed and maintained the insurance specified in this Section 8.03, and whether or not proceeds from such insurance (such insurance having been placed and maintained) actually are collectible from one or more of the aforesaid insurance companies; provided, however, that Tenant shall be relieved of its obligation of indemnity herein pro tanto of the amount actually recovered by Landlord from one or more of said insurance companies by reason of injury, damage or loss sustained on the Demised Premises. If any action or proceeding shall be brought against Landlord or any of the other indemnified parties in connection with any matter which is the subject of the foregoing indemnity, Tenant, upon notice from 12 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Landlord, shall resist and defend such action or proceeding at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, without any disclaimer of liability in connection therewith. Section 8.04. A. Landlord shall cause each policy carried by Landlord insuring the Building against loss, damage, or destruction by fire or other casualty, and Tenant shall cause each insurance policy carried by Tenant and insuring the Demised Premises and Tenant's Alterations, leasehold improvements, equipment, furnishings, fixtures and contents against loss, damage, or destruction by fire or other casualty, to be written in a manner so as to provide that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord or Tenant in connection with any loss or damage covered by any such policy. Neither party shall be liable to the other for the amount of such loss or damage which is in excess of the applicable deductible, if any, caused by fire or any of the risks enumerated in its policies, provided that such waiver was obtainable at the time of such loss or damage. However, if such waiver cannot be obtained, or shall be obtainable only by the payment of an additional premium charge above that which is charged by companies carrying such insurance without such waiver of subrogation, then the party undertaking to obtain such waiver shall notify the other party of such fact, and such other party shall have a period of fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice to agree in writing to pay such additional premium if such policy is obtainable at additional cost (in the case of Tenant, pro rata in proportion of Tenant's rentable area to the total rentable area covered by such insurance); and if such other party does not so agree or the waiver shall not be obtainable, then the provisions of this Section 8.04 shall be null and void (with respect to both Landlord and Tenant) as to the risks covered by such policy for so long as either such waiver cannot be obtained or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired shall refuse to pay the additional premium. If the release of either Landlord or Tenant, as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 8.04, shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question shall be deemed not released, but no action or rights shall be sought or enforced against such party unless and until all rights and remedies against the other's insurer are exhausted and the other party shall be unable to collect such insurance proceeds. B. The waiver of subrogation referred to in Subsection 8.04A above shall extend to the agents and employees of each party, but only if and to the extent that such waiver can be obtained without additional charge (unless such party shall pay such charge). Nothing contained in this Section 8.04 shall be deemed to relieve either party from any duty imposed elsewhere in this Lease to repair, restore and rebuild. Section 8.05. In the event of any permitted sublease or occupancy (by a person other than Tenant) of all or a portion of the Demised Premises, all of the covenants and obligations on the part of Tenant set forth in this Article 8 shall bind and be fully applicable to the subtenant or occupant (as if such subtenant or occupant were Tenant hereunder) for the benefit of Landlord. ARTICLE 9 FIRE OR CASUALTY Section 9.01. If the Demised Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other insured casualty and Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord, then Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 9.02 and 9.03, proceed with reasonable diligence to repair or cause to be repaired such damage to the core and shell of the Demised Premises at Landlord's expense if and to the extent that such repair is fully paid for with the net proceeds of insurance, if any, recovered with respect to the damage. If the Demised Premises, or any material part thereof, shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such damage and such damage shall not be due to the fault of Tenant or of Persons Within Tenant's Control, then the Fixed Rent hereunder, or an amount thereof apportioned according to the area of the Demised Premises so rendered untenantable (if less than the entire Demised Premises shall be so rendered untenantable), shall be abated for the period from the date of such damage to the date when the damage shall have been repaired as aforesaid. If Landlord, Overlandlord or any Mortgagee (as applicable) shall be unable to collect the insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) applicable to such damage because of some action or inaction on the part of Tenant or of Persons Within Tenant's Control, then the cost of repairing such damage shall be paid by Tenant and there shall be no abatement of Fixed Rent. Tenant covenants and agrees to cooperate with Landlord, Overlandlord and any Mortgagee in their efforts to collect insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) payable to such parties. Landlord shall not be liable for any delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of insurance on the part of Landlord and/or Tenant, or any cause beyond the control of Landlord or contractors employed by Landlord. Section 9.02. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from damage from fire or other casualty or the repair thereof. Tenant understands that Landlord, in reliance upon the provisions set forth in Section 8.03 above, may elect not to carry insurance on some or any of Tenant's furnishings, furniture, contents, fixtures, equipment, Alterations and leasehold improvements (including all portions of the Building Systems that are located within the Demised Premises, and any sprinkler loop and distribution pipes and heads, and any distribution ducts or equipment for the Building Units serving the Demised Premises, and including any private bathrooms in or appurtenant to the Demised Premises), and that, regardless of whether Landlord does carry such insurance, Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. Section 9.03. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 9.01 and 9.02 above, in the event that: (i) the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty to the extent that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord's sole and unfettered opinion, be required 13 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 05/04/2014


 
(whether or not the Demised Premises shall have been damaged by such fire or other casualty and without regard to the structural integrity of the Building), or (i) the Demised Premises are totally or substantially damaged or are rendered wholly or substantially untenantable, or (ii) there is any damage to the Demised Premises within the last year of the Lease Term, and the cost of repair exceeds an amount equal to six (6) monthly installments of Fixed Rent, then Landlord may, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby "ranted, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within ninety (90) days after the date of such damage. In the event that such a notice of termination shall be given, then this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the date of termination stated in said notice with the same effect as if that were the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the Lease Term, and the Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date. Section 9.04. A. Provided that, within sixty (60) days following the occurrence of a fire or other casualty which renders all or a substantial portion of the Demised Premises untenantable, Tenant shall request of Landlord that Landlord deliver to Tenant an estimate prepared by a reputable contractor selected by Landlord setting forth such contractor"s estimate as to the time reasonably required to repair such damage and render the Demised Premises tenantable (the "Contractor's Estimate"), Landlord shall so deliver such Contractor's Estimate to Tenant. If the period to repair set forth in the Contractor's Estimate exceeds nine (9) months from the date of such damage or destruction, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease, but only by notice given to Landlord not later than thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of the Contractor's Estimate (it being agreed that the failure by Tenant to timely send such notice shall be deemed to be an election by Tenant not to terminate this Lease). If Tenant shall exercise such election, the Lease Term shall expire upon the twentieth (20th) day after notice of such election is given by Tenant with the same force and effect as if such date were originally provided herein as the Expiration Date, and the Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date (or, if and to the extent the same is abated pursuant to Section 9.01 above, the date of such damage). If the time period set forth in said Contractor's Estimate does not exceed nine (9) months and Landlord shall not have substantially completed the making of the repairs and restoration required to be made by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Article 9 within a period of twelve (12) months from the date of such damage or destruction, which period, however, shall be extended by the number of days, if any, as shall equal the aggregate number of days that Landlord may have been delayed in making such repairs and restoration by reason of a Force Majeure Event (which extension period for a Force Majeure Event shall in no event exceed an aggregate of ninety (90) days), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice given to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such twelve (12) months or longer (by reason of any such extension) period, effective as of a date specified in such notice, which shall be not more than thirty (30) days after the giving thereof, and the term of this Lease shall expire on such date with the same force and effect as if such date were originally provided hereinbefore as the Expiration Date, the Security (or the Letter of Credit, if the Security is then being held in the form of a letter of credit) shall be returned to Tenant within twenty (20) days after such date and the delivery of exclusive possession of the Demised Premises to Landlord, and the Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date. B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing provisions of Subsection 9.04A, in the event the Demised Premises shall be materially damaged by fire or other casualty during the last two (2) years of the Lease Term, and the time period set forth in the Contractor's Estimate shall exceed three (3) months, then Tenant may terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted, but only by notifying Landlord in writing of such termination within thirty (30) days following Tenant's receipt of the Contractor's Estimate. In the event that such a notice of termination shall be given, then this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the date of termination stated in said notice with the same effect as if that were the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the Lease Term, the Security (or the Letter of Credit, if the Security is then being held in the form of a letter of credit) shall be returned to Tenant within twenty (20) days after such date and the delivery of exclusive possession of the Demised Premises to Landlord, and the Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent hereunder shall be apportioned as of such date. Section 9.05. Except as may be provided in Section 8.04, nothing herein contained shall relieve Tenant from any liability to Landlord or to Landlord's insurers in connection with any damage to the Demised Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty if Tenant shall be legally liable in such respect. Section 9.06. Tenant shall throughout the Lease Term provide fire wardens and searchers as required under NYC Local Law No. 5 of 1973, as heretofore and/or hereafter amended. Section 9.07. Tenant shall give Landlord notice of the occurrence of any fire, casualty or other accident in the Demised Premises promptly after Tenant becomes aware thereof. Section 9.08. This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Building or any part thereof by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York (providing for such a contingency in the absence of express agreement), and any other law of like import now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case. 14 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
ARTICLE 10 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING Section 10.01. A. As a material inducement to Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees, for Tenant and Tenant's heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, that neither this Lease nor the term and estate hereby granted, nor any part hereof or thereof, will be assigned, or advertised for assignment, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred, by operation of law or otherwise, and that neither the Demised Premises, nor any part thereof, will be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, or for any purpose other than as hereinbefore set forth, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent, unless expressly provided to the contrary in this Article 10, may be granted, withheld or conditioned in Landlord's absolute discretion) in every case. B. Subject to the specific exclusions set forth in Subsection 10.02C below, the direct or indirect transfer of fifty (50%) percent or more (aggregating all multiple and/or prior transfers) of: (1) the shares of a corporate tenant, or (ii) the shares of any corporation of which Tenant is an immediate or remote subsidiary, or (iii) the beneficial or legal interests of a tenant that is a business entity other than a corporation, in each case including transfers by operation of law, and including a related or unrelated series of transactions, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease for the purposes of this Article 10. For the purposes hereof, "shares" of a corporate tenant or other corporation shall be deemed to include: (x) the issued and outstanding shares of any class of the voting stock of a corporation, and/or (y) the issued and outstanding shares of any class of convertible non-voting stock, debentures or securities of a corporation. Issuance of new corporate shares of a corporation or partnership interests by a partnership, and/or the issuance of a new class of voting stock or convertible non-voting stock or debentures or securities of a corporation which results in a transfer of control of that corporation, or the execution of an agreement affecting the power to vote fifty (50%) percent or more of the issued and outstanding shares of any class of stock or securities of a corporation, shall each be deemed to be a "transfer" for the purposes hereof. In order to implement the foregoing provisions (but subject to the provisions of Subsection 10.02C below), if Tenant shall be a corporation, then, within ten (10) days following Landlord's written request therefor, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a statement verified by a principal officer of Tenant setting forth the details of the then present ownership and all prior transfers of the issued and outstanding stock of the corporation, and such other information relating to such stock ownership and transfer of stock or securities as Landlord may request in such notice. Section 10.02. A. Upon prior written notice to Landlord, but without the necessity of obtaining Landlord's consent thereto, Tenant may sublet all or part of the Demised Premises, or assign Tenant's entire interest in this Lease and the leasehold estate hereby created, to a corporation or other business entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, Tenant (herein referred to as a "Related Corporation"), provided that (i) Tenant shall not then be in default with respect to any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, (ii) prior to such subletting or assignment, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with the name of such Related Corporation, (iii) not less than twenty (20) days after the effective date of such subletting or assignment, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a certification of Tenant, and such other proof as Landlord may reasonably request, that such subtenant or assignee is a Related Corporation of Tenant (and, in the case of an assignment, an executed and acknowledged assumption by the assignee, for the benefit of Landlord and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, of all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease); provided, however, that if for any reason whatsoever Tenant shall not comply with the requirements of this clause (iii), such assignment or sublet shall be deemed a prohibited assignment or transfer of this Lease, (iv) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the proposed subtenant or assignee is of a character which is in keeping with the standards of Landlord for the Building, (v) such Related Corporation shall use the Demised Premises for the Authorized Use and for no other purpose, and (vi) for the entire term of such sublease (or the entire Lease Term in the event of an assignment), said subtenant or assignee shall continue to be a Related Corporation of Tenant. In connection with the information to be provided to Landlord pursuant to this Subsection 10.02A, Landlord shall have the right, at any reasonable time and from time to time, to examine such books and records of Tenant as may be necessary to establish that such subtenant remains a Related Corporation of Tenant. (If, at any time thereafter, said subtenant or assignee shall cease to be a Related Corporation of Tenant, then the continued use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, by said subtenant or assignee shall be subject to all of Landlord's rights set forth in this Article 10 with respect to a proposed subtenant or assignee who is subject to the provisions of Section 10.03 below (including Landlord's right to exercise the Recapture Option and Landlord's right to receive any Profit), and Tenant shall comply with all of the provisions set forth in this Article 10 with respect to a proposed subletting or assignment.) In connection with the information to be provided to Landlord pursuant to this Subsection 10.02A, Landlord shall have the right, at any reasonable time and from time to time, to examine such books and records of Tenant as may be necessary to establish that such subtenant or assignee remains a Related Corporation of Tenant. In the case of a subletting, such subletting shall not be deemed to vest in any such Related Corporation any right or interest in this Lease or the Demised Premises (except in its capacity as subtenant), nor shall it relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. In the case of an assignment, the assignor Tenant shall not be relieved or released from the performance of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, nor shall such assignment be construed to impair or discharge any of said obligations. For the purposes of this Article 10, the term "control" shall be deemed to mean ownership of more than fifty (50%) percent of all of the voting stock of such corporation, or more than fifty (50%) percent of all of the legal and equitable interest in any other business entity. B. Upon obtaining Landlord's prior written consent thereto (which consent Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold), Tenant may assign or transfer Tenant's entire interest in this Lease and the leasehold 15 427141.0I13 NY 75113I18v1 06/04/2014


 
estate hereby created to a "Successor Corporation" of Tenant (as hereinafter defined), provided that: (i) Tenant shall not then be in default with respect to any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease; (ii) the proposed occupancy shall not increase the office cleaning requirements or impose an extra burden upon the Building equipment or Building services; and (iii) the proposed assignee 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. The term "Successor Corporation" shall mean any of the following: (x) a corporation or other business entity into which or with which Tenant (or Tenant's parent entity or entities) shall be merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions for the merger or consolidation of corporations or other business entities (as applicable), provided that (whether by operation of law or by effective provisions contained in the instruments of merger or consolidation) the liabilities of the corporations (or other business entities (as applicable)) participating in such merger or consolidation are assumed by the corporation or other business entity surviving such merger or consolidation; or (y) a corporation or other business entity acquiring this Lease and the term hereof and the estate hereby granted, the goodwill and all or substantially all of the other property and assets of Tenant, and assuming all or substantially all of the liabilities of Tenant; or (z) any corporate or other business entity successor to a Successor Corporation becoming such by either of the methods described in n clauses (x) and (y) above; provided that, in each case: (1) 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, (2) immediately after giving effect to any such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition and assumption, as the case may be, the corporation or other business entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation or acquiring such assets and assuming such liabilities, as the case may be, shall have assets, capitalization and a net worth, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and certified to Landlord by an independent certified public accountant, at least equal to the assets, capitalization and net worth, similarly determined, of Tenant as of the date of this Lease (except that, in the case of an entity whose business is the management of assets, the foregoing references to "net worth" shall be deemed to be assets under management, and the certification thereof shall be made by a recognized, reputable and independent fund administrator), and (3) proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such business purpose, assets, capitalization and net worth (or assets under management, in the case of an entity whose business is the management of assets) shall have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction. The acquisition by Tenant of all or substantially all of the assets, together with the assumption of all or substantially all of the obligations and liabilities, of any corporation or other business entity, shall be deemed to be a merger for the purposes of this Article 10. C. The transfer of the outstanding capital stock of any corporate tenant (or such tenant's parent entity or entities) shall not be deemed an assignment of this Lease (and Tenant shall not be required to furnish Landlord with the information described in the last sentence of Subsection 10.0IB above) if such transfer shall be effected by the purchase, redemption or sale of such stock through the "over-the-counter-market" or through any recognized stock exchange (unless such stock shall be sold, transferred or otherwise conveyed by persons deemed "insiders" within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or to employees. In furtherance of the foregoing, the transfer of a majority of Tenant's stock or other ownership interest or transfers among existing owners, members or partners of Tenant, as the case may be, shall not be deemed an assignment of this Lease, but only if: (i) such transfer(s) is made for a legitimate business purpose and not for the purpose of transferring this Lease, (ii) there is no change in the day-to-day control and operation of Tenant's business operations as a result of such transfer, and (iii) immediately after giving effect to any such transfer, the corporation or other business entity surviving such transfer shall have a net worth, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and certified to Landlord as being correct by an executive financial officer (or, if Tenant is not a corporation, a principal) of Tenant, at least equal to the net worth, similarly determined, of Tenant as of the Commencement Date. D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 10, provided that Tenant shall not be in default with respect to any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, without being required to obtain the consent of Landlord, to permit a portion of the Demised Premises not to exceed, in the aggregate, 7,000 rentable square feet (the "Desk Sharing Portion") to be used under a so-called "desk sharing agreement" by any person or business entity with whom Tenant has an ongoing business relationship (not related to the occupancy by such person or business entity of any space in the Demised Premises), but (i) only for the uses permitted under this Lease, (ii) only for such period as such person or business entity shall continue to have such ongoing business relationship with Tenant (with each such entity being referred to as a "Desk Sharing Entity"), and (iii) each desk sharing agreement shall have a term (the "Desk Sharing Term") of no longer than two (2) years, but in any event a term that must expire prior to the end of the Lease Term. However, no such desk sharing agreement shall be permitted or valid, unless, at least ten (10) days prior to a Desk Sharing Entity taking occupancy of a portion of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall have given notice to Landlord of the proposed desk sharing agreement advising Landlord of (1) the name and address of such Desk Sharing Entity, (2) the character and nature of the business to be conducted by such Desk Sharing Entity, (3) the number of square feet of Rentable Area to be occupied by such Desk Sharing Entity, (4) the duration of such Desk Sharing Term, and (5) the rent, if any, to be paid by such Desk Sharing Entity for its use of the applicable portion of the Demised Premises. Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord a copy of each desk sharing agreement promptly following the execution thereof (which desk sharing agreement for the purposes hereof shall identify the Desk Sharing Entity, describe the relationship between Tenant and such Desk Sharing Entity, state the nature of the business conducted by such Desk Sharing Entity at the Demised Premises and state the rent, if any, to be paid by such Desk Sharing Entity for its use of the applicable portion of the Demised Premises), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, duly executed and acknowledged by Tenant and the applicable Desk Sharing Entity. Furthermore, (x) no demising walls may be erected in the Demised Premises separating the space used by a Desk Sharing Entity from the remainder of the Demised Premises, (y) the use of any portion of the Demised Premises by any Desk Sharing Entity shall not create any right, title or interest of the Desk Sharing Entity in or to the Demised Premises, and (z) the Desk Sharing Entity may not pay for its occupancy rights an amount greater than the Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent that is 16 427141.0113 NY 75113118vI 06/04/2014


 
reasonably allocable to the portion of the Demised Premises that the Desk Sharing Entity has the right to occupy. Within ten (10) Business Days after request by Landlord from time to time. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a list of the names of all Desk Sharing Entities then occupying any portion of the Demised Premises and a description of the spaces occupied thereby. Any such desk sharing agreement shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and, notwithstanding such desk sharing agreement, Tenant shall remain fully liable for all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall so request, Landlord shall consider waiving the requirement that the Desk Sharing Entity have an ongoing business relationship with Tenant (as set forth in this Subsection 10.02D) with respect to the entirety or any portion(s) of the Desk Sharing Portion for all or any portion(s) of the Desk Sharing Term, but Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, in each case, the decision as to whether or not Landlord shall grant such waiver shall be made by Landlord in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. E. Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsections 10.02A or 10.02B above, if, because of a confidentiality requirement, Tenant shall not be able to disclose in advance to Landlord the occurrence of a transaction described in said Subsection 10.02A or I0.02B, Tenant may assign or transfer Tenant's entire interest in this Lease and the leasehold estate hereby created to a Related Entity or a Successor Entity, as the case may be, prior to notifying Landlord thereof, provided that Tenant shall comply in all other respects with the requirements of the applicable Subsection 10.02A or I0.02B above and shall submit all required information to Landlord not later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the effective date of such transaction. If for any reason whatsoever Tenant shall not comply with all of said requirements within such time period, said transaction shall be deemed a prohibited assignment or transfer of this Lease. Section 10.03. A. Except with respect to assignments, sublets or desk sharing agreements described in Section 10.02 above (and subject to the provisions of Subsection 10.03C below), if Tenant shall desire to assign this Lease or to sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written request for Landlord's consent to such assignment or subletting, which request shall contain or be accompanied by the following information: (i) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (ii) a fully executed and acknowledged duplicate original of the assignment (and assumption) agreement or sublease (subject only to the options of Landlord set forth in this Section 10.03 and the receipt of Landlord's consent), or a copy of the fully executed term sheet for the proposed assignment or sublease; (iii) the nature and character of the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and its proposed use of the Demised Premises; (iv) banking, financial and other credit information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant reasonably sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility of the proposed assignee or subtenant; and (v) in the case of a proposed sublease of less than all of the Demised Premises, a floor plan of the space proposed to be sublet. Landlord shall then have the following options (the "Recapture Options"), which may be exercised by written notice (the "Recapture Notice") given to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's request for such consent: (x) In the event of a proposed assignment of this Lease or a sublease of substantially all of the Demised Premises, Landlord may require Tenant to surrender the Demised Premises to Landlord and to accept a termination of this Lease as of a date (the "Recapture Date") to be designated by Landlord in the Recapture Notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days following the date of the Recapture Notice; or (y) In the event of a proposed assignment of this Lease or a sublease of substantially all of the Demised Premises, Landlord may require Tenant to assign this Lease to Landlord (without merger of LandIord's estates) or Landlord's designee, effective as of a date which shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days following the date of the Recapture Notice; or (z) In the event of a proposed sublease of less than substantially all of the Demised Premises, Landlord may require Tenant to surrender the space that was the subject of the proposed sublease (the "Sublease Premises") and to accept a termination of this Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises as of a date (the "Sublease Premises Recapture Date") to be designated by Landlord in the Recapture Notice, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days following the date of the Recapture Notice. B. If Landlord shall exercise Landlord's option to terminate this Lease as set forth above with respect to the premises (the "Recaptured Space") that constitutes either the entire Demised Premises (in the case of an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of substantially all of the Demised Premises) or the Sublease Premises (in the case of a sublease of less than substantially all of the Demised Premises), then this Lease shall expire with respect to the Recaptured Space on the Recapture Date or the Sublease Premises Recapture Date, as applicable, as if that date had been originally fixed as the Expiration Date. If the Recaptured Space shall constitute less than all of the Demised Premises) then, as of the Sublease Premises Recapture Date, the Fixed Rent, Rentable Square Feet, Tenant's Operating Share and Tenant's Tax Share shall be reduced, on a pro rata basis, to reflect the size of the balance of the Demised Premises. Regardless of which Recapture Option Landlord exercises under this Section 10.03, Landlord shall be free to, and shall have no liability to Tenant (or to any broker engaged by Tenant) if Landlord shall lease the Demised Premises or any portion thereof to Tenant's prospective assignee or subtenant. For the purposes of this Article 10, the phrase "substantially all of the Demised Premises" shall mean eighty (80%) percent or more of the Demised Premises. C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.03, Landlord shall not have the right to exercise any Recapture Options with respect to a proposed Exempt Sublease or any desk sharing agreement permitted in accordance with Subsection 10.02D above. For the purposes of this Lease, the term 17 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/0412014


 
"Exempt Sublease" shall mean one or more subleases that (i) in the aggregate, have a size of 7,000 rentable square feet or Iess, and (ii) each has a term that is scheduled to expire prior to the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date. Section 10.04. If Landlord shall not exercise any of the Recapture Options within the time period provided in Section 10.03 above, or if Landlord shall not be entitled to exercise any Recapture Option with respect to a proposed sublease, then Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold consent to the proposed assignment of this Lease or a proposed subletting of the entire Demised Premises, provided that Tenant shall not then be in default with respect to any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and 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 Article 10) shall be satisfied: (i) The proposed assignee or subtenant shall not be: (a) a school of any kind, or an employment or placement agency or governmental or quasi-governmental agency, or a real estate brokerage office or medical office or executive recruitment office, or any bank or retail establishment, or (b) entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and the proposed assignee or subtenant shall be subject to service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the State of New York; (ii) The subletting or assignment shall be to a reputable person, whose occupancy will be in keeping with the dignity and character of the then use and occupancy of the Building, and whose occupancy will not be more objectionable or more hazardous than that of Tenant herein or impose any additional burden upon Landlord in the operation of the Building; (iii) The proposed assignee or subtenant shall have, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, sufficient financial worth to perform the obligations of Tenant under this Lease in the event of an assignment, or to perform the obligations of the subtenant in the event of a sublease, as the case maybe; (iv) No space shall be or have been advertised or promoted to the general public at a lower rental rate than that being asked by Landlord at the time for similar space in the Building, and Tenant shall not have made public any rental rate being sought or obtained by Tenant; provided that the disclosure of any such rental rate to Tenant's real estate broker, or to prospective subtenants and/or assignees and their representatives, in connection with a proposed assignment or subletting shall not be deemed to be a violation of this clause (iv); and (v) The proposed assignee or subtenant (or any person who directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, either (a) the proposed assignee or subtenant, or (b) any person who controls the proposed assignee or subtenant) shall not be a tenant, subtenant, occupant or assignee of any premises in the Building, or a party who dealt or negotiated with Landlord or Landlord's agent (directly or through a broker) with respect to the leasing of any space in the Building during the nine (9) months immediately preceding Tenant's request for Landlord's consent, but the foregoing restriction shall be applicable only if Landlord shall be able to offer such proposed assignee or subtenant comparably sized space in the Building for at least a comparable term. Section 10.05. In the event of each and every permitted assignment of Tenant's interest under this Lease, the following provisions shall apply: (i) The assignee shall assume and agree, in a recordable writing delivered to Landlord on or before the effective date of such assignment, to perform all of the terms, conditions and agreements of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept, performed and observed, and to become jointly and severally liable with the assignor (and remote assignors, if any) for the performance thereof. (ii) The assignor shall assign to the assignee all of the assignor's right, title and interest and claim to the security deposited hereunder. (iii) The terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease may be changed, altered or modified in any manner whatsoever by Landlord and the assignee without the consent thereto of the Tenant named herein or of any other remote or immediate assignor. The joint and several liability of the Tenant named herein and of any immediate and remote successor-in-interest of Tenant (by assignment or otherwise), and the due performance by all such assignors and successors of each and every one of the obligations of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed or observed, shall not in any way be discharged, released or impaired by any (a) such change, alteration or modification, or other agreement which amends any of the rights or obligations of the parties under this Lease, (b) stipulation which extends the time within which an obligation under this Lease is to be performed, (c) waiver of the performance of an obligation required under this Lease, or (d) failure to enforce any of the obligations set forth in this Lease; provided, however, that in the case of a change, alteration or modification made after the date of an assignment of this Lease to an entity which is not a Related Corporation or a Successor Corporation, if and to the extent that such change, alteration or modification increases the obligations or liabilities of Tenant under this Lease, the assignor shall not be liable with respect to such increase. Section 10.06. A. In the event of each and every permitted subletting of all or any part of the Demised Premises, the following provisions shall apply: (i) No subletting shall be for a term ending later than one (1) day prior to the Expiration Date of this Lease. 18 427141.0113 NY 751131 lSvl 06/04/2014


 
(ii) The sublease agreement shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord in substance and form, and shall provide that it is and shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to all matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate. (iii) The sublease agreement and all of the subtenant's rights thereunder shall be expressly made subject to all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, and to the further condition and restriction that the sublease shall not be assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred, or the subleased premises further sublet by the subtenant in whole or in part, or any part thereof suffered or permitted by the subtenant to be used or occupied by others, without the prior written consent of Landlord (which consent may be granted, withheld or conditioned in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion) in each instance. B. If Landlord shall consent to a proposed subletting of all or any portion of the Demised Premises, then either the sublease agreement or the written instrument of consent, which shall also be executed and acknowledged by Tenant and the subtenant, shall contain a provision substantially similar to the following: "The sublandlord [i.e., Tenant under this Lease] and the subtenant hereby agree that, if the subtenant shall be in default of any obligation of the subtenant under the sublease, which default also constitutes a default by the sublandlord under the overlease [i.e., this Lease], then the overlandlord [i.e., Landlord under this Lease] shall be permitted to avail itself of all of the rights and remedies available to the sublandlord in connection therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the overlandlord shall be permitted (by assignment of a cause of action or otherwise) to institute an action or proceeding against the subtenant in the name of the sublandlord in order to enforce the sublandlord's rights under the sublease, and shall also be permitted to take all ancillary actions (e.g., serve default notices and demands) in the name of the sublandlord as the overlandlord shall reasonably determine to be necessary. The sublandlord agrees to cooperate with the overlandlord, and to execute such documents as shall be reasonably necessary, in connection with the implementation of the foregoing rights of the overlandlord. The sublandlord and the subtenant expressly acknowledge and agree that the exercise by the overlandlord of any of the foregoing rights and remedies: (i) shall not constitute an election of remedies, (ii) shall not in any way impair the overlandlord's entitlement to pursue other rights and remedies directly against the sublandlord, and (iii) shall not establish any privity of relationship between the overlandlord and the subtenant, or in any way create a landlord/tenant relationship between the overlandlord and the subtenant." Section 10.07. A. Except with respect to assignments or sublets described in Section 10.02 above (and subject to the provisions of Subsection 10.07D below), if Landlord shall consent to any assignment of this Lease or to any sublease of all or any part of the Demised Premises, Tenant shall, in consideration therefor, pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, the following amounts (hereinafter being referred to as "Profit"): (i) in the case of an assignment, fifty (50%) percent of the amount by which all amounts and other consideration due or payable to Tenant and/or Tenant's designee for or by reason of such assignment (including all amounts due or payable for the sale or rental of Tenant's fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property), exceed the sum of (x) the amount of the following reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses, but only if and to the extent actually incurred and paid by Tenant to unrelated third parties in connection with such assignment: (a) brokerage commissions, (b) advertising expenses, (c) the cost of Alterations made by Tenant to prepare the Demised Premises for occupancy by the assignee, or the amount of a "contribution" made to the assignee by Tenant in lieu thereof, (d) attorneys' fees and disbursements, and (e) any other concessions or amounts that Tenant makes or pays to or on behalf of said assignee (including the payment by Tenant of any portion of Fixed Rent or Recurring Additional Rent under this Lease for any period following the effective date of said assignment), but only if such payments are being made by reason of the assignment of this Lease, and not by reason of any other aspect of the transaction between Tenant and said assignee, and (y) in the case of an assignment of this Lease only by the initially named Tenant under this Lease (i.e., Pzena Investment Management, LLC) to an unaffiliated third party, an amount equal to the sum of (1) the product of $610,434.00 (except that, if the Rentable Square Feet on the date of the assignment shall be less than the Rentable Square Feet on the Commencement Date, such amount shall be proportionately reduced) and the number of full calendar years between the effective date of such assignment and the Expiration Date of the initial Lease Term, and (2) a prorated portion of $610,434.00 (except that, if the Rentable Square Feet on the date of the assignment shall be less than the Rentable Square Feet on the Commencement Date, such amount shall be proportionately reduced) based on the period of time remaining in the partial calendar year, if any, between the effective date of such assignment and the last day of the calendar year in which such effective date occurs; and (ii) in the case of a sublease, fifty (50%) percent of the amount by which (x) the sum of (1) all rents, additional rents and other consideration due or payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant, and (2) all other amounts and consideration due or payable to Tenant or Tenant's designee for or by reason of such subletting (including all amounts due or payable for the sale or rental of Tenant's fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture or other personal property), exceed (y) the sum of (1) that part of the Fixed Rent (but with the Fixed Rent being grossed up to $2,589,720.00 per annum solely for purposes of this Subdivision 10.07A(ii)) and additional rent hereunder allocable to the subleased space and accruing for the corresponding period during the term of the sublease, and (2) the amount of the following reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses (allocated on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease), but only if and to the extent actually incurred and paid by Tenant to unrelated third parties in connection with such sublease: (a) brokerage commissions, (b) advertising expenses, (c) the cost of Alterations made by Tenant to prepare the subleased premises for occupancy by the subtenant, or the amount of a "contribution" made to the subtenant by Tenant in lieu thereof. (d) attorneys' fees and disbursements, and (e) any other concessions or amounts that Tenant makes or pays to or on behalf of said subtenant (other than any rent abatement or credit, or similar right to occupy the subleased premises on a complete 19 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
or partial rent-free basis, granted to said subtenant), but only if such payments are being made by reason of the sublease of the relevant portion of the Demised Premises, and not by reason of any other aspect of the transaction between Tenant and said subtenant. B. Any amount(s) payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.07 shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as and when amounts on account thereof are due or paid by or on behalf of any assignee(s) and/or any sublessee(s) to Tenant or Tenant's designee, and Tenant agrees to promptly advise Landlord thereof and furnish such information with regard thereto as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time. C. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, in the January calendar month immediately following each calendar year during any part of which any such sublease shall be in effect, a reasonably detailed financial statement certified as being correct by an executive financial officer (or, if Tenant is not a corporation, a principal) of Tenant, setting forth all sums accruing during the prior calendar year and/or realized by Tenant from such sublease, and a computation of the Profit accruing and/or realized by Tenant during such prior calendar year. Tenant shall remit to Landlord together with such statement any Profit or portion thereof on account of such calendar year not previously remitted to Landlord. D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.07, the provisions of Subsection 10.07A above shall not apply to an Exempt Sublease. Section 10.08. A. Each permitted assignee or transferee of Tenant's interest in this Lease (but not a subtenant) shall assume and be deemed to have assumed this Lease and all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and shall be and remain liable jointly and severally with Tenant for the payment of all Fixed Rent, additional rent, other charges and payments due under this Lease, and for the full and timely performance of and compliance with all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements herein contained on Tenant's part to be performed or complied with for the entire Lease Term. No assignment, sublease or transfer shall be effective or binding on Landlord unless and until such assignee, subtenant or transferee of Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a ~fuIly executed and acknowledged duplicate original of the instrument of assignment, sublease or transfer which contains a covenant of assumption (if not a sublease) by an assignee or transferee of all of the obligations aforesaid, and a confirmation (including a sublease) of the covenant under Section 10.01 prior to and preemptive of any similar rights of Tenant or any subtenant, and shall obtain from Landlord the aforesaid written consent prior thereto. In the event of any purported assignment, sublease or transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Lease, Landlord may elect to treat such purported assignee, subtenant or transferee as having assumed this Lease jointly and severally with Tenant, without in any way or to any extent binding Landlord to consent to such purported assignment, sublease or transfer. B. In no event shall any assignee, subtenant or other occupant of the Demised Premises use the Demised Premises for any purpose other than the Authorized Use. Section 10.09. The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant, the assignee or any subtenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord (which consent, unless expressly provided to the contrary in this Article 10, may be granted, withheld or conditioned in Landlord's absolute discretion) to any other or further assignment or subletting. Section 10.10. A. If this Lease shall be assigned (whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Article 10), Landlord may collect from the assignee, and Tenant hereby authorizes and directs the assignee to pay to Landlord, all rent (whether denominated as Fixed Rent or otherwise), additional rent and other charges payable pursuant to the instrument of assi gnment, with the net amount so collected by Landlord to be applied to the Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges herein provided, but no such assignment or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant by Tenant under Section 10.01 above, nor shall the same be deemed the acceptance by Landlord of the assignee as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance of the covenants and agreements on the part of Tenant to be performed as herein contained. Each and every instrument of assignment shall contain the substance of the foregoing provision. B. If all or any portion of the Demised Premises shall be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant (whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Article 10), then, upon demand made by Landlord at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may collect from the subtenant or occupant, and Tenant hereby authorizes and directs such party to pay to Landlord, all rent (whether denominated as Fixed Rent or otherwise), additional rent and other charges payable pursuant to such instrument, with the net amount so collected by Landlord to be applied to the Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges herein provided, but no such subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant by Tenant under Section 10.01 above, nor shall the same be deemed the acceptance by Landlord of the subtenant or occupant as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance of the covenants and agreements on the part of Tenant to be performed as herein contained. Each and every instrument of sublease and/or occupancy agreement shall contain the substance of the foregoing provision. C. If Landlord shall for any reason or cause recover or come into possession of the Demised Premises before the date hereinbefore fixed for the expiration of the Lease Term, or if an Event of Default shall occur, then Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to take over any and all subleases or sublettings of the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof made or granted by Tenant and to succeed to all of the rights and 20 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
privileges of said subleases and sublettings or such of them as Landlord may elect to take over and assume, and Tenant hereby expressly assigns and transfers to Landlord such of the subleases and sublettings as Landlord may elect to take over and assume at the time of such recovery of possession (or occurrence of an Event of Default), and Tenant shall upon request of Landlord execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord such further assignments and transfers as may be necessary, sufficient and proper to vest in Landlord the then existing subleases and sublettings. By its entry into a sublease, each and every subtenant shall be deemed to have thereby agreed that, upon said recovery of possession (or occurrence of an Event of Default) and if Landlord shall so elect, Landlord may, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, take over the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublandlord, under such sublease, in which case such subtenant shall: (i) be deemed to have waived any right to surrender possession of the subleased space or to terminate the sublease, (ii) be bound to Landlord for the balance of the term of such sublease, and (iii) attorn to Landlord, as its landlord, under all of the then executory terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that (x) rent shall be at the greater of the rates provided in this Lease (apportioned based upon the area the subleased space bears to the entire Demised Premises) or the rates of rent and additional rent under the sublease, and (y) such subtenant shall be deemed to have expressly agreed that Landlord shall not (1) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (2) be subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense, not expressly provided in such sublease, which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, or (3) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) monthly installment of rent. The provisions of this Subsection 10.1 OC shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect thereto. However, within five (5) days after Landlord shall have notified any subtenant of said election, such subtenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord such instruments as Landlord may request to evidence and confirm such attornment and the terms thereof. Each and every sublease shall contain the substance of this Subsection 10.10C. Section 10.11. Without limiting the generality of the covenant set forth in Section 10.01 above, Tenant covenants and agrees that, if Landlord shall be able to offer comparably sized premises in the Building for at least a comparable term: (i) Tenant shall not assign Tenant's interest under this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises (or any portion thereof) to any tenant or occupant in the Building, and (ii) Tenant shall not accept any assignment of lease or sublease from, or become a subtenant of, any tenant or occupant in the Building. Section 10.12. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all reasonable costs (including all reasonable legal fees and disbursements, as well as the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of a proposed assignee or subtenant) which may be incurred by Landlord in connection with a request by Tenant that Landlord consent to any proposed assignment or sublease. Section 10.13. If Landlord shall decline to consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise any of the Recapture Options under Section 10.03 above, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damages, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees disbursements), resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed assignee or subtenant or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease. Section 10.14. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Article 10, in the event that Tenant shall assign or attempt to assign Tenant's interest in, to or under this Lease, or if Tenant shall sublet or attempt to sublet the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, without having obtained Landlord's prior written consent thereto or in violation of any of the other provisions contained in this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time thereafter without affording Tenant any grace period or opportunity to cure. The acceptance by Landlord of any Fixed Rent or additional rent paid, or of the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant, by a purported assignee or subtenant shall not be deemed (i) a consent by Landlord to the assignment or sublet to such purported assignee or subtenant, (ii) a release by Landlord of Tenant's performance of, or compliance with, any of the obligations to be performed, or covenants or terms to be complied with, by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, or (iii) a waiver of Landlord's right of termination as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Section 10.15. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the Demised Premises, on any Building directory, elevators or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or the Demised Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Demised Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by third parties. Landlord shall not be required to permit the listing of any name other than Tenant, and Tenant agrees that, if Landlord does consent to any such listing, the same shall be deemed a privilege extended by Landlord that is revocable at will by written notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) provided that Tenant shall have obtained LandIord's prior written approval to such signage (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), Tenant shall have the right to install signage in the 8th floor elevator lobby identifying Tenant and/or any permitted occupant(s) of the Demised Premises only, and (ii) if Landlord shall elect to install a Building directory, Landlord shall list the names of permitted subtenants, assignees and occupants of the Demised Premises on such Building directory (to the extent that the listings requested by Tenant shall not exceed Tenant's pro rata share of the available Building directory listings). ARTICLE 11 NON-LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION Section 11.01. Neither Landlord nor Landlord's agents shall be liable for: (i) any damage to property of Tenant or of others entrusted to employees of Landlord or to Landlord's agents, nor for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant or of Persons Within Tenant's Control by theft or otherwise; (ii) any injury or damage to persons 21 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain, snow or leaks from any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works or from the roof, street or sub-surface or from any other place or by dampness or by any other cause of whatsoever nature, unless such injury or damage is caused by the negligent act of Landlord and is not otherwise subject to the provisions of Section 8.04 above; (iii) any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Building or caused by operations in construction of any private, public or quasi-public work; or (iv) any Iatent defect in the Demised Premises or in the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the provisions of Section 8.04 above, nothing contained in this Section 11.01 shall be construed to relieve Landlord of any liability that Landlord may have to Tenant under law for any loss or damage suffered by Tenant that is caused solely by the willful misconduct or negligence of Landlord, or by Landlord's agents or employees (it being agreed, however, that in no event shall Landlord ever have any liability to Tenant, or to any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, for consequential damages). Section 11.02. If at any time any windows of the Demised Premises shall be temporarily or permanently closed, darkened or covered for any reason whatsoever, excluding the wrongful acts of Landlord or of Landlord's agents, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage Tenant may sustain thereby, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation therefor nor abatement of rent, nor shall the same release Tenant from Tenant's obligations hereunder or constitute an eviction. Unless the closure, darkening or covering of any windows of the Demised Premises shall result from a Force Majeure Event, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (including, if necessary, the use of overtime or premium pay labor) to minimize the time of such closure, darkening or covering of any windows of the Demised Premises. Section 11.03. Tenant agrees (except if and to the extent that the same shall be caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party, but irrespective of whether Tenant shall have been negligent in connection therewith), to indemnify, protect, defend and save harmless. Landlord and Landlord's partners, officers, directors, contractors, agents and employees (individually and collectively, the "Indemnified Party") from and against any and all liability (statutory or otherwise), claims, suits, demands, damages, judgments, costs, fines, penalties, interest and expenses (including reasonable counsel and other professional fees and disbursements incurred in any action or proceeding, whether between Tenant and the Indemnified Party, or between the Indemnified Party and any third party or otherwise), to which any such Indemnified Party may be subject or suffer arising from, or in connection with: (i) any liability or claim for any injury to, or death of, any person or persons, or damage to property (including any loss of use thereof), occurring in or about the Demised Premises, or (ii) the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises, or from any work, installation or thing whatsoever done or omitted (other than by Landlord or by Landlord's agents or employees) in or about the Demised Premises during the Lease Term and during the period of time, if any, prior to the Commencement Date that Tenant may have been given access to the Demised Premises, or (iii) any default by Tenant in the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or (iv) any act, omission, carelessness, negligence or misconduct of Tenant or of any Person Within Tenant's Control. Section 11.04. Tenant shall reimburse and compensate Landlord, as additional rent within thirty (30) days after rendition of a statement, for all out-of-pocket expenditures, costs, fees, expenses, judgments, penalties, actual damages and fines sustained or incurred by Landlord (including reasonable counsel and other professional fees and disbursements incurred in connection with any action or proceeding) in connection with any matter set forth in this Article 11, or non-performance or non-compliance with or breach or failure by Tenant to observe any term, covenant, agreement, provision or condition of this Lease, or breach of any warranty or representation by Tenant made in this Lease. If, in any action or proceeding naming both Landlord and Tenant, liability arising out of the negligence of Tenant is established, Tenant shall (i) indemnify Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Article 11 and (ii) waive any right of contribution against Landlord. Reference in this Article 11 to Landlord shall for all purposes be deemed to include (if applicable) any Overlandlord and each Mortgagee. Section 11.05. A. Tenant agrees that (except as expressly set forth in Subsection 11.05B below) Tenant's sole remedies in any instances where Tenant disputes Landlord's reasonableness in exercising judgment or withholding consent or approval pursuant to a specific provision of this Lease shall be those remedies in the nature of an injunction, declaratory judgment or specific performance, the rights to monetary damages or other remedies being hereby specifically and irrevocably waived by Tenant. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and unless expressly provided to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant agrees that, in any situation in which Landlord's consent or approval is required pursuant to this Lease, the same may be granted or withheld in Landlord's absolute discretion, and/or be made subject to such conditions as Landlord, in Landlord's absolute discretion, may deem appropriate. B. In any instance where this Lease expressly provides that, in connection with a proposed Alteration, assignment or subletting, or any determination relating thereto, Landlord's consent or approval is required and may not be unreasonably withheld, or that such determination shall be reasonably made, if Tenant shall dispute the reasonableness of Landlord's refusal to grant such consent or approval or of such determination, Tenant or Landlord shall have the right to submit said dispute to binding arbitration under the Expedited Procedures provisions (Rules E-1 through E-10 in the current edition) of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). In cases where the parties utilize such arbitration: (i) the parties will have no right to object if the arbitrator so appointed was on the list submitted by the AAA and was not objected to in accordance with Rule E-5, (ii) the first hearing shall be held within seven (7) Business Days after the appointment of the arbitrator, (iii) if the arbitrator shall find that Landlord or Tenant (as the case may be) had acted unreasonably in withholding a consent or approval, such consent or approval shall be deemed granted, and any other finding or determination of the arbitrator shall be deemed final and binding (except that the arbitrator shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of this Lease), and (iv) the losing party in such arbitration shall pay the arbitration costs charged by AAA and/or the arbitrator. 72 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
ARTICLE 12 CONDEMNATION Section 12.01. If the whole of the Demised Premises shall be lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for any public or quasi-public use, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall forthwith cease and terminate as of the date of vesting of title. If only a part of the Demised Premises shall be so condemned or taken, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, but, effective as of the date of vesting of title, the Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent hereunder shall be abated in an amount apportioned according to the area of the Demised Premises so condemned or taken. If only a part of the Building shall be so condemned or taken (whether or not the Demised Premises shall be affected), then (i) Landlord may, at Landlord's option, terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted as of the date of such vesting of title by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days following the date on which Landlord shall have received notice of vesting of title, and (ii) if such condemnation or taking shall deprive Tenant of access to the Demised Premises and Landlord shall not have provided or undertaken steps to provide other means of access thereto, Tenant may, at Tenant's option, but only by delivery of notice in writing to Landlord within sixty (60) days following the date on which Tenant shall have received notice of vesting of title, terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted as of the date of vesting of title. If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease as aforesaid, this Lease shall be and remain unaffected by such condemnation or taking, except that the Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent shall be abated to the extent, if any, hereinbefore provided in this Article 12. If only a part of the Demised Premises shall be so condemned or taken and this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted are not terminated as hereinbefore provided, Landlord shall, with reasonable diligence and at Landlord's expense, restore the remaining portion of the Demised Premises as nearly as practicable to the same condition as existed prior to such condemnation or taking, provided that such restoration shall not exceed the scope of the work done in originally constructing the Building and that the cost thereof shall not exceed the net proceeds of the award received by Landlord for the value of the portion of the Demised Premises so taken, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive no part of such award. Section 12.02. In the event of any condemnation or taking hereinbefore mentioned of all or a part of the Building or the Demised Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in the condemnation proceeding, including any award made for the value of the estate vested by this Lease in Tenant, and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord any and all right, title and interest of Tenant now or hereafter arising in or to any such award or any part thereof, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive no part of such award. In any condemnation proceeding, Tenant may submit a separate claim against the condemning authority for the value of Tenant's trade fixtures and the cost of removal or relocation, if such separate claims are allowable as such and do not reduce the award otherwise payable to Landlord. Section 12.03. If all or any portion of the Demised Premises shall be taken by the exercise of the right of eminent domain for occupancy for a limited period, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to pay in full the Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges herein reserved, without reduction or abatement, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive so much of any award or payment made for such use as shall be equal to the aforementioned payments that are actually made by Tenant to Landlord during such temporary taking, except as hereinafter provided, and Landlord shall receive the balance thereof. If such award or payment shall be made in a lump sum, Landlord shall receive out of such lump sum (and Tenant shall be credited with) an amount equal to the total of the Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges due to Landlord or to be paid by Tenant under the terms of this Lease for the period of such taking (less any amounts theretofore paid by Tenant to Landlord attributable to the period of such taking), and such amount received by Landlord shall be held by Landlord as a fund which Landlord shall apply from time to time to the payments due to Landlord from Tenant under the terms of this Lease. Out of the balance of such sum, if any, Tenant shall be paid in an amount equal to the amounts, if any, theretofore paid by Tenant to Landlord attributable to the period of such taking, and Landlord shall be paid the remainder of such balance. If such taking shall be for a period not extending beyond the Lease Term, and if such taking results in changes or Alterations in the Demised Premises which would necessitate an expenditure to restore the Demised Premises to its former condition, then Tenant at the termination of such taking shall, at Tenant's expense, restore the Demised Premises to its former condition, and such portion of the award or payment payable to Landlord, if any, in excess of the Fixed Rent, additional rent and other charges for the period of such taking as shall be necessary to cover the expenses of such restoration shall be applied to such restoration, and the balance necessary, if any, shall be paid by Tenant. ARTICLE 13 ACCESS; BUILDING NAME Section 13.01. Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time (without thereby creating an actual or constructive eviction or incurring any liability to Tenant therefor) to place such structures and to make such relocations, changes, Alterations, additions, improvements, Repairs and replacements on the Land and in or to the Building (including the Demised Premises) and the Building Systems, and the operation of the Building Systems, as well as in or to the street entrances, subway entrances, lobbies, balls, plazas, washrooms, tunnels, elevators, stairways and other parts thereof, and to erect, maintain and use pipes, ducts and conduits in and through the Demised Premises, all as Landlord may in Landlord's sole discretion deem necessary or desirable. Landlord shall also have the right to install solar control window film on, or otherwise alter for energy savings purpose, any windows of the Demised Premises. Nothing contained in this Article 13 shall be deemed to relieve Tenant of any duty, obligation or liability of Tenant with respect to making any repair, replacement or improvement or complying with any Legal Requirements as elsewhere in this Lease provided. 23 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Section 13.02. Neither this Lease nor any use by Tenant shall give Tenant any right or easement in or to the use of any door or hallways, or any passage or any tunnel or any concourse or arcade or plaza or to any connection of the Building with any subway, railroad or any other building or to any public conveniences, and the use of such doors, halls, passages, tunnels, concourses, arcades, plazas, connections and conveniences may without notice to Tenant be regulated or discontinued at any time and from time to time by Landlord without Landlord incurring any liability to Tenant therefor and without affecting the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Section 13.03. Landlord, and (if applicable) Overlandlord and any Mortgagee, and their representatives, may enter the Demised Premises at all reasonable hours and without Tenant being present, for the purpose of inspection or of making Repairs, Alterations, additions, restorations, replacements or improvements in or to the Demised Premises or the Building or Building Systems or of complying with Legal Requirements or the requirements of any Insurance Board, or of performing any obligation imposed on Landlord by this Lease, or of exercising any right reserved to Landlord by this Lease (including the right, during the progress of any Repairs or Alterations or while performing work or furnishing materials in connection with compliance with all such Legal Requirements or requirements of any Insurance Board, to keep and store within the Demised Premises all necessary materials, tools and equipment), provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to impose any obligation on Landlord or Overlandlord or Mortgagee to make any Repairs or Alterations. Section 13.04. Landlord may, at reasonable times and without Tenant being present, show the Demised Premises to any prospective purchaser, lessee, mortgagee, or assignee of the Building and/or the Land, or of Landlord's interest therein, and their representatives. During the eighteen (18) month period preceding the Expiration Date, Landlord may similarly show the Demised Premises or any part thereof (excluding any areas within the Demised Premises previously identified by Tenant, but not more than ten (10%) percent of the Demised Premises, that contain confidential information) to any person contemplating the leasing of all or a portion of the same. During the last year of the Lease Term, if Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of Tenant's property from the Demised Premises, Landlord may immediately or at any time thereafter enter, alter, renovate and/or redecorate the Demised Premises without limitation or abatement of rent, or incurring liability to Tenant for any compensation, and such act shall have no effect on this Lease or Tenant's obligations hereunder. Section 13.05. Without incurring any liability to Tenant, Landlord may permit access to the Demised Premises and open the same, whether or not Tenant shall be present, upon demand of any receiver, trustee, assignee for the benefit of creditors, sheriff, marshal or court officer entitled to, or purporting to be entitled to, such access for the purpose of taking possession of, or removing, Tenant's property or for any other lawful purpose (but by this provision any action by Landlord hereunder shall not be deemed a recognition by Landlord that the person or official permitted to such access has any right to such access or interest in or to this Lease, or in or to the Demised Premises), or upon demand of any representative of the fire, police, building, sanitation or other department of the city, state or federal governments. Section 13.06. Landlord shall have the absolute right at any time, and from time to time, to name and change the name of the Building and to change the designated address of the Building. The Building may be named after any person, or otherwise, whether or not such name shall be, or shall resemble, the name of a tenant of space in the Building. Section 13.07. Any reservation of a right by Landlord to enter upon the Demised Premises and to make or perform any Repairs, Alterations or other work in, to or about the Demised Premises which, in the first instance, is the obligation of Tenant pursuant to this Lease, shall not be deemed to: (i) impose any obligation on Landlord to do so, (ii) render Landlord liable (to Tenant or any third party) for the failure to do so, or (iii) relieve Tenant from any obligation to indemnify Landlord as otherwise provided elsewhere in this Lease. Section 13.08. Subject to the provisions of this Lease and to circumstances beyond the control of Landlord, Tenant shall have reasonable access to the Demised Premises on a 24-hour per day, 365-day per year, basis. ARTICLE 14 BANKRUPTCY Section 14.01. This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall be subject to the conditional limitation that, if any one or more of the following events shall occur: (i) Tenant shall (a) have applied for or consented to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or other custodian of Tenant or any of its properties or assets, (b) have made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (c) have commenced a voluntary case for relief as a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code or filed a petition to take advantage of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debts, dissolution or liquidation law or statute or an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding under any such law, or (d) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or (ii) without the acquiescence or consent of Tenant, an order, judgment or decree shall have been entered by any court of competent jurisdiction (a) approving as properly filed a petition seeking relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debts, dissolution or liquidation law or statute with respect to Tenant or with respect to all or a substantial part of Tenant's properties or assets, or (b) appointing a receiver, trustee, liquidator or other custodian of Tenant or of all or a substantial part of Tenant's properties or assets, and such order, judgment or decree shall have continued unstayed and in effect for any period of ninety (90) days or more, then this Lease may be cancelled and terminated by Landlord by the sending of a written notice to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord shall be notified of the happening of any of the aforedescribed events. Neither Tenant, nor any person claiming through or under Tenant or by reason of any statute or order of court, shall thereafter be entitled to possession of the Demised Premises, but shall forthwith quit and 24 427I41.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
surrender the Demised Premises. If this Lease shall have been theretofore assigned in accordance with the provisions of Article 10 above, then the provisions of this Article 14 shall be applicable only to the party then owning Tenant's interest in this Lease. Section 14.02. Without limiting any of the foregoing provisions of this Article, if, pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code, Tenant shall be permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease, Tenant agrees that adequate assurance of future performance by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean (a) the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of six (6) monthly installments of the Fixed Rent plus the Recurring Additional Rent for the calendar year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective, which deposit shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Lease Term, without interest, as security for the full performance of all of the obligations under this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed, and (b) evidence by financial statement prepared and certified by a certified public accountant that the assignee has a current net worth, after including the assignment and excluding the value of the leasehold, sufficient to meet all of the remaining rental obligations under this Lease. ARTICLE 15 DEFAULTS. REMEDIES. DAMAGES Section 15.01. A. This Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall be subject to the conditional limitation that, if any one or more of the following, events (collectively, "Events of Default") shall occur: (i) Tenant shall fail to pay to Landlord the full amount of any installment of Fixed Rent or any additional rent, or any other charge payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord, within ten (10) days after the date upon which the same shall first become due; or (ii) Tenant shall do anything or permit anything to be done, whether by action or inaction, in breach of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease, or any Exhibit annexed hereto, on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed or performed (other than a breach of the character referred to in clause 15.01A(i) above), and such breach shall continue and shall not be fully remedied by Tenant within ten (10) days after Landlord shall have given to Tenant a notice specifying the same (except in connection with a breach which cannot be remedied or cured within said ten (10) day period, in which event the time of Tenant within which to cure such breach shall be extended for such time as shall be necessary to cure the same, but only if Tenant, within such ten (10) day period, shall promptly commence and thereafter proceed diligently and continuously to cure such breach, and provided further that such period of time shall not be so extended as to jeopardize the interest of Landlord in the Land and/or the Building or so as to subject Landlord to any liability, civil or criminal); or (iii) Any event shall occur or any contingency shall arise whereby this Lease or the estate hereby granted or the unexpired balance of the Lease Term would, by operation of law or otherwise, devolve upon or pass to any person, firm, association or corporation other than Tenant, except as may be expressly authorized herein; or (iv) Tenant shall desert or abandon the Demised Premises, or the same shall become vacant (whether or not the keys be surrendered, and whether or not the rent be paid, and whether or not improvements, personal property or trade fixtures remain in the Demised Premises), or Tenant shall fail to take possession or move into the Demised Premises within twenty (20) days after the Commencement Date; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall not be deemed to have failed to take possession of the Demised Premises during the performance of Tenant's Initial Work; or (v) Intentionally omitted; then, upon the occurrence of any of said events, Landlord may at any time thereafter give to Tenant a notice of termination of this Lease setting forth a termination date three (3) days from the date of the giving of such notice, and, upon the giving of such notice, this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted (whether or not the Lease Term shall theretofore have commenced) shall expire and terminate upon the expiration of said three (3) days with the same effect as if that day were the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the Lease Term, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided in Section 15.03 below. B. If any Event of Default shall occur two (2) times within any period of twelve (12) months, then, notwithstanding that each such Event of Default shall have been cured, any further defaults of the same or a substantially similar nature occurring within said twelve (12) month period shall be deemed an Event of Default, whereupon Landlord shall have the right at any time thereafter to terminate this Lease as set forth in Subsection 15.01 A above, without affording Tenant any right or opportunity to cure said default. Section 15.02. A. If an Event of Default shall have occurred, Landlord and/or Landlord's agents and employees, whether or not this Lease shall have been terminated pursuant to Articles 14 or 15, may, without notice to Tenant, immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter into or upon the Demised Premises or any part thereof, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law, or by force or otherwise, to the extent legally permitted, without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and may repossess the same, and may remove any persons or property therefrom, to the end that Landlord may have, hold 25 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
and enjoy the Demised Premises again as and of its first estate and interest therein. The words "re-enter", "re-entry" and "re-entered" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of any termination of this Lease under the provisions of Articles 14 or 15, or in the event that Landlord shall re-enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this Article 15, or in the event of the termination of this Lease (or of re- entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law, Tenant shall thereupon pay to Landlord the Fixed Rent, additional Tent and any other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord up to the time of such termination of this Lease, or of such recovery of possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord, as the case may be, plus the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease or of re-entering the Demised Premises and securing possession thereof, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of removal and storage of Tenant's property, and Tenant shall also pay to Landlord damages as provided in Section 15.03 below. B. In the event of the re-entry into the Demised Premises by Landlord under the provisions of this Section 15.02, and if this Lease shall not be terminated, Landlord may (but shall have absolutely no obligation to do so), not in Landlord's own name, but as agent for Tenant, relet the whole or any part of the Demised Premises for any period equal to or greater or less than the remainder of the original term of this Lease, for any sum which Landlord may deem suitable, including rent concessions, and for any use and purpose which Landlord may deem appropriate. Such reletting may include any improvements, personalty and trade fixtures re maining in the Demised Premises. C. In the event of a breach or threatened breach on the part of Tenant with respect to any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions on the part of or on behalf of Tenant to be kept, observed or performed, Landlord shall also have the right to obtain injunctive relief. D. In the event of (i) the termination of this Lease under the provisions of Articles 14 or 15, or (ii) the re-entry of the Demised Premises by Landlord under the provisions of this Section 15.02, or (iii) the termination of this Lease (or re-entry) by or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to retain all monies, if any, paid by Tenant to Landlord, whether as advance rent, security deposit or otherwise, but such monies shall be credited by Landlord against any Fixed Rent, additional rent or any other charge due from Tenant at the time of such termination or re-entry or, at Landlord's option, against any damages payable by Tenant under Section 15.03 or pursuant to law. E. The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort under this Lease are cumulative and concurrent, and are not intended to be exclusive of each other or of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may lawfully be entitled at any time, and Landlord may invoke any remedy allowed under this Lease or at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for, and the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the remedies allowed under this Lease or in law or in equity shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by the Landlord of any or all other remedies allowed under this Lease or in law or in equity. Section 15.03. A. In the event of any termination of this Lease under the provisions hereof or under any summary dispossess or other proceeding or action or any provision of law, or in the event that Landlord shall re- enter the Demised Premises under the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord, either: (i) a sum which at the time of such termination of this Lease or at the time of any such re-entry by Landlord, as the case may be, represents the then value of the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate of the installments of Fixed Rent and the additional rent (if any) which would have been payable hereunder by Tenant, had this Lease not so terminated, for the period commencing with such earlier termination of this Lease or the date of any such re-entry, as the case may be, and ending with the date hereinbefore set for the expiration of the full term hereby granted pursuant to Articles 1 and 2, over (b) the aggregate rental value of the Demised Premises for the same period (the amounts of each of clauses (a) and (b) being first discounted to present value at an annual rate equal to the then prevailing discount rate announced by the Federal Reserve Bank); or (ii) sums equal to the aggregate of the installments of Fixed Rent and additional rent (if any) which would have been payable by Tenant had this Lease not so terminated, or had Landlord not so re- entered the Demised Premises, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination or such re-entry and until the date herein before set for the expiration of the full term hereby granted; provided, however, that if Landlord shall relet the Demised Premises during said period, Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such reletting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such reletting the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease and of re-entering the Demised Premises and of securing possession thereof including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of removal and storage of Tenant's property, as well as the expenses of reletting, including repairing, restoring and improving the Demised Premises for new tenants, brokers' commissions, advertising costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, and all other similar or dissimilar expenses chargeable against the Demised Premises and the rental therefrom in connection with such reletting, it being understood that such reletting may be for a period equal to or shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease; and provided further, that (a) in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, (b) in no event shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Subdivision (ii) to a credit in respect of any net rents from a reletting except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord prior to the commencement of such suit, and (c) if the Demised Premises or any part thereof should be relet in combination with other space, then proper 26 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
apportionment on a square foot area basis shall be made of the rent received from such reletting and of the expenses of reletting, or if relet for a period longer than the remaining term of this lease, the expenses of reletting shall be apportioned based on the respective periods. B. For the purposes of Subdivision A(i) of this Section 15.03, the amount of additional rent which would have been payable by Tenant under Article 19 for each year, as therein provided, ending after such termination of this Lease or such re-entry, shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the amount of such additional rent payable by Tenant for the calendar year and Tax Year ending immediately preceding such termination of this Lease or such re-entry. Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at Landlord's election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term of this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated under the provisions of Articles 14 or 15, or under any provision of law, or had Landlord not re-entered the Demised Premises. Section 15.04. Nothing contained in this Article 15 shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any payments or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant. The failure or refusal of Landlord to relet the Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof, or the failure of Landlord to collect the rent thereof under such reletting, shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for damages. Section 15.05. Tenant, for Tenant, and on behalf of any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including creditors of all kinds, does hereby waive and surrender all right and privilege which they or any of them might have under or by reason of any present or future law to redeem the Demised Premises, or to have a continuance of this Lease for the term hereby demised, after Tenant shall be dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the expiration or termination of this Lease as herein provided or pursuant to law. Tenant also waives the provisions of any law relating to notice and/or delay in levy of execution in case of an eviction or dispossess of a tenant for non-payment of rent, and of any other law of like import now or hereafter in effect. In the event that Landlord shall commence any summary proceeding for non-payment of rent or for holding over after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall not, and hereby expressly waives any right to, interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding. Section 15.06. The provisions of this Article 15 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. ARTICLE 16 CURING TENANT'S DEFAULTS; REIMBURSEMENT Section 16.01. If Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term, covenant, provision or condition on Tenant's part to be observed or performed under or by virtue of any of the terms or provisions in this Lease, and if such default shall continue after notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period (except that, if the condition resulting from such default shall pose an imminent risk of injury or damage, Landlord shall be required to give only such notice to Tenant as shall be practical under the circumstances, and Landlord shall not be required to wait until the expiration of any cure period), then, unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this Lease. Landlord may immediately or at any time thereafter and without further notice perform the obligation of Tenant thereunder, and if Landlord, in connection therewith or in connection with any default by Tenant in the covenant to pay Fixed Rent or additional rent hereunder, shall make any expenditures or incur any obligations for payment of money, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, then such fees, disbursements, costs and expenses so paid or obligations incurred shall be additional rent to be paid by Tenant to Landlord, upon demand, with interest thereon at an annual rate (the "Interest Rate") equal to the lesser of: (a) the then prevailing prime rate (which, for the purposes hereof, includes any equivalent or successor interest rate, however denominated) of interest for unsecured ninety-day loans by Citibank, N.A. (or JP Morgan Chase N.A., if Citibank, N.A. shall not then have an established prime rate; or the prime rate of any major banking institution doing business in New York City, as selected by Landlord, if neither of the aforementioned banks shall be in existence or have an established prime rate) plus two (2) percentage points, or (b) the maximum rate allowed by law. Any interest payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease at the Interest Rate shall be calculated from the day such expenditure is made or obligation is incurred until the date when such payment is finally and completely paid by Tenant to Landlord. Section 16.02. Bills for any property, material, labor or services provided, furnished or rendered, or caused to be provided, furnished or rendered, by Landlord to Tenant, may be sent by Landlord to Tenant monthly (or immediately, at Landlord's option), and shall be due and payable by Tenant as additional rent within fifteen (15) days after the same shall be sent to Tenant by Landlord. If Landlord shall commence a summary proceeding against Tenant for non-payment of rent, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, both if judgment is awarded for Landlord, or if Tenant makes the payment subsequent to service of process but prior to entry of judgment. If Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant shall request Landlord's consent to any matter that requires Landlord's consent under this Lease and if Landlord (in Landlord's sole discretion) shall refer the matter to Landlord's attorneys or other professionals or consultants, then, whether or not such consent shall be granted, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection therewith as additional rent within fifteen (15) days after a bill therefor shall have been rendered. Section 16.03. If the Term shaII have expired or been terminated after or on the date that Landlord shall have made any of the expenditures, or incurred any of the obligations, set forth in this Article 16, then all such 27 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 00/04/2014


 
amounts and any interest thereon, as set forth in Section 16.01 above, shall be recoverable by Landlord as damages. The provisions of this Article 16 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. ARTICLE 17 KIET ENJOYMENT Section 17.01. Landlord covenants that, if and for so Iong as Tenant shall pay all of the Fixed Rent and additional rent reserved hereunder and shall observe and perform all of the terms, agreements, covenants, provisions and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Tenant may peaceably and quietly enjoy the Demised Premises, subject nevertheless to the terms and conditions of this Lease, and provided, however, that no eviction of Tenant by reason of paramount title, by reason of the foreclosure of any Mortgage now or hereafter affecting the Demised Premises or by reason of any termination of any Underlying Lease to which this Lease is or shall become subject and subordinate, whether such termination is effected by operation of law, by agreement or otherwise, shall be construed as a breach of this covenant nor shall any action by reason thereof be brought against Landlord. This covenant shall be construed as a covenant running with the Land, and is not, nor shall it be construed as, a personal covenant of Landlord, except to the extent of Landlord's interest in this Lease and only for so long as such interest shall continue. Accordingly, this covenant shall bind and be enforceable against Landlord or any successor to Landlord's interest, subject to the terms hereof, only for so long as Landlord or any successor to Landlord's interest, respectively, shall be in possession and shall be collecting rent from Tenant, but not thereafter. ARTICLE 18 BUILDING SERVICES Section 18.01. A. From and after the date that Tenant shall be ready to occupy the Demised Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business therein, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Landlord shall provide the following services: (i) passenger elevator service on Business Days, during Business Hours, and on Saturdays from 8 A.M. to 1 P.M., and, subject to the provisions of Section 18.03 below, have one elevator on call at all other times. Tenant agrees that Landlord may, at Landlord's election, install elevators with or without operators and may change the same from time to time; (ii) freight elevator service on Business Days, during the hours of 8 A.M. to 4 P.M.; (iii) heat to the Demised Premises on Business Days during Business Hours, as seasonably required; (iv) water for ordinary lavatory, drinking and office cleaning purposes. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any other purposes or in unusual quantities (as determined by Landlord), then Landlord may (or, at Landlord's direction, Tenant shall) install a meter or meters or other means to measure Tenant's water consumption in the Demised Premises, and Tenant agrees to pay for the cost of the meter or meters and the installation thereof, and to pay for the maintenance of said meter equipment and/or to pay Landlord's cost of other means of measuring such water consumption by Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of all water consumed by Tenant in the Demised Premises as measured by said meter or meters or as otherwise measured, including sewer rents, as additional rent, within fifteen (15) days after bills therefor are rendered (provided that, upon request therefor by Tenant, Landlord shall provide reasonable evidence of the amount of such cost). If Landlord shall elect (or otherwise be required) to furnish hot water to the Demised Premises in excess of what is required for ordinary lavatory, drinking and office cleaning purposes, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of generating such hot water, as additional rent, within fifteen (15) days after bills therefor are rendered (provided that, upon request therefor by Tenant, Landlord shall provide reasonable evidence of the amount of such cost); and (v) cleaning of the Demised Premises on Business Days in accordance with the specifications set forth in Exhibit "E" annexed hereto and made a part hereof, provided that the Demised Premises are kept in reasonable order by Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of removal from the Demised Premises and the Building of so much of Tenant's refuse and rubbish (x) as shall exceed that ordinarily accumulated daily in the routine of business office occupancy or (y) resulting from any use of the Demised Premises during hours other than Business Hours (collectively, "Extra Rubbish Removal"). The reimbursement for Extra Rubbish Removal shall be made by Tenant to Landlord, as additional rent, within fifteen (15) days after bills therefor are rendered. B. Landlord shall maintain the existing water-cooled, package air-conditioning units (the "Building Units") that were previously installed to provide air-conditioning and ventilation to the Demised Premises. Landlord shall repair and (if necessary) replace the Building Units, subject to the provisions of Section 6.02 above. The Building Units shall at all times be the exclusive property of Landlord, and shall be surrendered to Landlord with the Demised Premises upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease. All work, maintenance, repair and replacement relating to the distribution system (including ducts and other conduits) shall be the responsibility of Tenant to perform, at Tenant's own cost and expense. Tenant shall be required to pay (in accordance with the provisions of Article 20 below) for all electricity necessary or used in connection with air- conditioning and ventilation in the Demised Premises. Tenant shall at all times cooperate fully with Landlord and 28 427141.0113 NY 751131I8v1 06/04/2014


 
abide by the regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the air-conditioning and ventilation system. C. If Tenant shall utilize the Building Units during any Overtime Period, or if Tenant shall request that heat be furnished to the Demised Premises during any Overtime Period, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent and within fifteen (15) days after rendition of a bill therefor, Landlord's then established charges in connection therewith (which, in the case of air-conditioning and ventilation, shall be in addition to the cost of the electricity needed to operate the Building Units). As of the Commencement Date, the current charges in effect will be $250.00 per hour for air-conditioning and ventilation, and $350.00 per hour for heat. D. Tenant expressly acknowledges that all Building windows are hermetically sealed and will not open, and Landlord makes no representation as to the habitability of the Demised Premises at any time that the Building Units or the air-conditioning and ventilation distribution systems are not in operation. Tenant hereby expressly waives any claims against Landlord arising out of the cessation of operation of the Building Units or the air-conditioning and ventilation distribution systems, or the suitability of the Demised Premises when the same are not in operation, whether due to normal scheduling or the reasons set forth in Section 18.03 below. E. If Tenant shall require freight elevator service at any time other than the time periods set forth in Subdivision 18.01 A(ii) above ("Overtime Freight Elevator Service"), Landlord shall endeavor to accommodate Tenant, provided that Landlord shall have received reasonable advance notice of such requirement, and provided further that Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent and within fifteen (15) days after being billed therefor, Landlord's then established hourly rate for such usage, with a four (4) hour minimum. Landlord agrees that said hourly rate shall not exceed the actual cost incurred by Landlord to provide such freight elevator usage. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that use by Tenant of the freight elevator during Business Hours in connection with the performance of Tenant's Initial Work shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall provide Tenant with up to sixty (60) hours of Overtime Freight Elevator Service at no charge in connection with Tenant's Initial Work and/or move-in. F. Tenant shall have the right, exercisable only by delivery of written notice (the "Condenser Water Notice") to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, to request that Landlord reserve sufficient condenser water for up to a maximum of twenty (20) tons of supplemental air- conditioning. Upon receipt of the Condenser Water Notice, Landlord shall reserve the specified amount of condenser water for Tenant's usage in the Demised Premises. If the amount of condenser water requested by Tenant shall be less than said maximum, then Landlord shall have no obligation to reserve or allocate to Tenant any condenser water over and above the amount of condenser water actually specified by Tenant in the Condenser Water Notice. Landlord agrees to make available the amount of condenser water so specified by Tenant, provided that, from and after the Commencement Date and within fifteen (15) days after being billed therefor, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Landlord's then-current charges for usage of condenser water. As of the Commencement Date, the current charge for condenser water is $600.00 per ton, per annum, plus a one-time "tap- in" charge of $1,500.00 for each tap. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant if the temperature or purity of any condenser water so used by Tenant fails to meet minimum acceptable standards at any time or for any reason. Tenant is on notice that condenser water systems are not foolproof, and covenants to install self-protective measures. Section 18.02. The term "Business Days" shall be deemed to mean all days other than Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. The term "Holidays" shall be deemed to mean all federal, state, municipal and bank holidays and Building Service Employees and Operating Engineer's Union contract holidays now or hereafter in effect.

Landlord reserves the right to stop the furnishing of the Building services and to stop service of the Building Systems, when necessary, by reason of accident, or emergency, or for Repairs and Alterations in the judgment of Landlord desirable or necessary to be made, until said Repairs and Alterations shall have been completed; and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply heat, elevator, plumbing, electric or other services during said period or when prevented from so doing by strikes, lockouts, difficulty of obtaining materials, accidents or by any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control, or by Legal Requirements or failure of electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power supply, or inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power. No diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be affected or reduced, by reason of such interruption, curtailment or suspension, nor shall the same constitute an actual or constructive eviction. In the event that such services shall have been stopped, Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises. Section 18.04. Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, abide by all requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper protection and functioning of the Building Systems and the furnishing of the Building services. Tenant also shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, cooperate with Landlord in any conservation effort pursuant to a program or procedure promulgated or recommended by ASHRAE (or any successor organization) or any Legal Requirements. Section 18.05. A. Tenant acknowledges receipt of advice from Landlord to the effect that Landlord may elect to operate a messenger service center in the Building and, as an additional Building service, to make the same 29 427141.0113 NY 751131 18v1 06/04/2014


 
available for use by the tenants of the Building. Tenant agrees that, if Landlord shall so elect, Landlord may require that all deliveries to the Demised Premises be made to the Building messenger service center. B. Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 18.03 above, Landlord reserves the right, which may be exercised in Landlord's unfettered discretion and for any reason whatsoever, to stop making the Building messenger service center available for use by the tenants of the Building; and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability to Tenant for doing so or for otherwise failing to operate the Building messenger service center. Tenant expressly waives any claim against Landlord and Landlord's agents arising from or in connection with the use by Tenant or others of said messenger service center. ARTICLE 19 TAXES; OPERATING EXPENSES Section 19.01.

I. If, during all or part of any Operating Year, Landlord shall not furnish any particular item(s) of work or service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Expense hereunder) to portions of the Building due to the fact that (i) such portions are not occupied or leased, (ii) such item of work or service is not required or desired by the tenant of such portion, (iii) such tenant is itself obtaining and providing such item of work or service, or (iv) for any other reason, then, for the purposes of computing Operating Expenses, the amount for such item and for such period shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional costs and expenses of furnishing such item of work or services to such portion of the Building or to such tenant. In connection with the immediately preceding clause (i), the Operating Expenses shall be so adjusted for a particular Operating Year (including the Base Operating Year) if less than one hundred (100%) percent of the office space portion of the Building was occupied in said Operating Year (including the Base Operating Year), and any such adjustment shall be made on the basis of one hundred (100%) percent of the office space portion of the Building being occupied. 32 427141.0113 NY 751131I8v1 06/04/2014


 
J. Unless expressly excluded from Operating Expenses pursuant to Subsection 19.02G above or expressly provided otherwise elsewhere in this Lease, all items of cost and expense identified in this Lease as being "at Landlord's cost and expense" or phrases of similar import (regardless of whether the words "solely" or "exclusive" are used in connection therewith, and regardless of whether specific reference is made to Landlord's right to recoup such cost or expense as part of Operating Expenses) shall be included in Operating Expenses. Section 19.03. A. (i) If, for any reason whatsoever (whether foreseen or unforeseen), the Taxes applicable with respect to any Tax Year shall be greater than the Base Tax Amount, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent for each such Tax Year an amount equal to Tenant's Tax Share (as defined in Section 1.01 above) of the amount by which the Taxes applicable with respect to such Tax Year exceeds the Base Tax Amount. (i) Within a reasonable time period after the issuance by the Taxing Authority of tax bills for Taxes payable for any Tax Year, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement (the "Tax Statement") which shall indicate the amount, if any, required to be paid by Tenant as additional rent as in this Section provided. Alternatively, if, with respect to any Tax Year or installment due date thereof, Landlord shall believe that the Taxing Authority will not be issuing a tax bill for Taxes in a sufficiently timely manner so as to allow Landlord to receive the Tax Payment from Tenant in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 19.03A(iii) below, then Landlord may render a Tax Statement to Tenant based on Landlord's good faith estimate of the relevant Taxes, subject to adjustment within a reasonably prompt time period following the date that the Taxing Authority shall actually issue the tax biIl(s) pertaining to such Taxes. (ii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the amount set forth on such Tax Statement (the "Tax Payment") in two (2) equal installments, with the first such installment due and payable on the June 1 immediately preceding the commencement of the Tax Year for which the Tax Statement is being rendered, and the second such installment due and payable on the immediately following December 1; provided, however, that if Landlord shall not have delivered a Tax Statement by May 20 immediately preceding the commencement of the Tax Year for which the Tax Statement is being rendered, then the installment of the Tax Payment otherwise due hereunder on the immediately following June 1 shall not be due until the tenth (10th) day after Landlord shall deliver said Tax Statement to Tenant. In the event that the Taxing Authority shall change the time for the payment, or number of installments, of Taxes, or if a Mortgagee shall require a periodic escrow payment on account thereof, the time when Tenant's installments of the Tax Payment shall be due and payable to Landlord shall be similarly adjusted. B. If, following the delivery of any Tax Statement, Landlord shall receive a refund of, or a credit for, Taxes with respect to a Tax Year for which Tenant has paid any additional rent under the provisions of this Section 19.03, then Tenant's Tax Share of the net proceeds of such refund or credit, as the case may be, after deduction of legal fees, appraiser's fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining reductions and refunds and collecting the same (and after deduction of such expenses for previous Tax Years which were not offset by tax refunds for such Tax Years) shall be applied and allocated to the periods for which the refund or credit, as the case may be, was obtained and, if Tenant shall not be in default of any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, Landlord shall refund or credit to Tenant an amount equal to Tenant's Tax Share of the net proceeds of such refund. In no event shall any refund or credit due to Tenant hereunder exceed the sum paid by Tenant for such particular Tax Year. Only Landlord shall be eligible to institute tax reduction or other proceedings to reduce the assessed valuation of the Land or the Building. In no event shall Tenant have the right to seek from the taxing authority any refund or reduction of Taxes. If, prior to the delivery of a Tax Statement to Tenant with respect to a particular Tax Year, Landlord shall obtain a reduction in Taxes for that Tax Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days following the issuance to Tenant of a bill therefor, an amount equal to Tenant's Tax Share of all costs and expenses (including Iegal, appraisal and other expert fees) incurred by Landlord in obtaining such reduction. C. If there shall be a reduction or refund of Taxes for either of the Tax Years utilized in computing the Base Tax Amount, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement indicating the amount thereof, and all prior and future additional rent payments provided for in this Section 19.03 shall be recalculated accordingly. Any additional payment due for any Tax Year shall be made by Tenant within fifteen (15) days after the furnishing to Tenant of the revised statement. D. Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, all rent and occupancy taxes and all property taxes and assessments on the furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property of Tenant at any time situated on or installed in the Demised Premises, and on additions and improvements in the Demised Premises made or installed by Tenant subsequent to the Commencement Date, if any. If at any time during the Lease Term any of the foregoing are assessed as a part of the real property of which the Demised Premises are a part, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand the amount of such additional taxes as may be levied against said real property by reason thereof. 33 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Section 19.04. A. For each Operating Year, any part of which shall occur during the Lease Terra, Tenant shall pay an amount (the "Operating Expense Payment") equal to Tenant's Operating Share of the amount, if any, by which Operating Expenses for such Operating Year shall exceed the Operating Expenses for the Base Operating Year; provided, however, that if the Commencement Date shall occur other than on the first day of an Operating Year or if the Lease Term shall expire or be sooner terminated on other than the last day of an Operating Year, then the Operating Expense Payment in respect thereof shall be prorated to correspond to that portion of such Operating Year occurring within the Lease Term. B. At any time before or during each Operating Year, Landlord may furnish to Tenant a written statement (an "Estimate Statement") setting forth Landlord's estimate of the Operating Expense Payment for such Operating Year (the "Estimated Payment"). Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month during each Operating Year an amount equal to one twelfth (1112th) of the Estimated Payment. If Landlord furnishes an Estimate Statement for an Operating Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then: (i) until the first day of the month following the month in which the Estimate Statement shall be furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord with respect to the most recent Operating Year; (ii) promptly after the Estimate Statement shall be furnished to Tenant, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the amount previously paid by Tenant to Landlord for the current Operating Year was greater or less than the installment of the Estimated Payment to be paid for the current Operating Year, and (x) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay the amount thereof to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, or (y) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall credit the amount thereof against the next monthly installment of the Fixed Rent payable under this Lease; and (iii) on the first day of the month following the month in which the Estimate Statement shall be furnished to Tenant, and monthly thereafter throughout the remainder of the Operating Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1112th) of the Estimated Payment shown on the Estimate Statement. Landlord may during an Operating Year, furnish to Tenant a revised Estimate Statement, and, if a revised Estimate Statement shall be furnished to Tenant, the Estimated Payment for such Operating Year shall be adjusted in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence. C. At any time after each Operating Year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant an annual Operating Statement (the "Annual Statement") for such Operating Year. If the Annual Statement shows that the Estimated Payment (or other payments) for such Operating Year exceeds the Operating Expense Payment which should have been paid for such Operating Year, then Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess against the next monthly installment of Fixed Rent payable under this Lease; if the Annual Statement for such Operating Year shows that the Estimated Payment for such Operating Year was less than the Operating Expense Payment (or other payments) which should have been paid for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the amount of such deficiency to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Annual Statement. D. (i) Each Annual Statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless, within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt thereof, Tenant shall give Landlord notice (the "Operating Dispute Notice") that Tenant disputes the correctness of the Annual Statement, specifying the particular respects in which the Annual Statement is claimed to be incorrect. Tenant recognizes and agrees that Landlord's books and records (and those of Landlord's agents) with respect to the operation of the Land and the Building are confidential, and that Tenant shall have no right to inspect the same except as otherwise provided in the immediately following sentence. Within said 180-day period, Tenant may request in writing an appointment to examine Landlord's books and records with respect to Operating Expenses in order to verify the accuracy of the relevant Annual Statement, in which case Landlord shall allow Tenant's certified public accountant to conduct such examination during Business Hours, within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord's receipt of said request, provided that Tenant's certified public accountant shall minimize any interference to Landlord's business operations during the course of such examination. Tenant shall not disclose (and shall require Tenant's certified public accountant not to disclose) to any third party any information obtained in the course of such examination, except if and to the extent required by a court of competent jurisdiction. (ii) If Tenant shall have timely delivered the Operating Dispute Notice to Landlord, and the parties shall not be able to resolve such dispute within sixty (60) days thereafter, then, provided that Tenant shall have theretofore paid to Landlord the amount shown to be due to Landlord on the disputed Annual Statement, either party may refer the decision of the issue raised to a reputable, independent firm of certified public accountants selected by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, and the decision of such accountants shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses involved in such decision shall be borne by the unsuccessful party (and if both parties are partially unsuccessful, the accountants shall apportion the fees and expenses between the parties based on the degree of success of each party). Tenant agrees that, notwithstanding any such dispute (and pending resolution thereof), Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord in full the amount shown to be due to Landlord on the disputed annual statement. If such dispute is resolved in Tenant's favor, Landlord shall either reimburse Tenant for any overpayment or credit the amount of such overpayment against the next monthly installment of Fixed Rent payable under this Lease. Section 19.05. Nothing contained in this Article 19 or any other provision of this Lease concerning the payment of additional rents shall be construed so as to reduce the Fixed Rent below the amount set forth in Section 1.01, plus any increases therein pursuant to any provision of this Lease. Section 19.06. If there shall be a reduction of the area of the Demised Premises either due to a partial taking thereof by eminent domain or due to subsequent agreement of the parties or if the area of the Demised Premises shall be increased, then (i) Tenant's Tax Share of increases of Taxes thereafter payable by Tenant under 34 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Subsection 19.03A, and (ii) Tenant's Operating Share of increases in Operating Expenses thereafter payable by Tenant under Subsection 19.04A, shall, except as may otherwise be expressly agreed in writing by the parties, be increased or decreased on the basis of the ratio between the Rentable Square Feet in the Demised Premises before and after said increase or decrease in area. Section 19.07. Any payments due hereunder for any period of less than a full Tax Year or Operating Year at the commencement or end of the Lease Term shall be equitably prorated. In the event of any change in the fiscal period constituting a Tax Year, Taxes levied during any transitional period shall be added to the first subsequent Tax Year for purposes of Section 19.03. Any delay or failure by Landlord to render any statement under the provisions of this Article 19 shall not prejudice Landlord's right hereunder to render such statement for prior or subsequent periods. Any delay or failure by Landlord in making any request or demand for any amount payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Article 19 shall not constitute a waiver of, or in any way diminish, the continuing obligation of Tenant to make such payment. Except as otherwise provided in Subsection 19.04D above, all statements rendered by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Article 19 shall be deemed final and conclusive as to Tenant, unless, within thirty (30) days following rendition of any such statement, Tenant shall, in good faith and with specificity, notify Landlord that such statement contains mathematical error. Tenant agrees that, notwithstanding any dispute as to the correctness of a statement (and pending resolution of such dispute), Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord in full the amount shown to be due to Landlord on the disputed statement. If such dispute is resolved in Tenant's favor, Landlord shall either reimburse Tenant for any overpayment or credit the amount of such overpayment against the next monthly installment of Fixed Rent payable under this Lease. The obligations of Tenant with respect to any payment required pursuant to the provisions of this Article 19 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term. ARTICLE 20 ELECTRICITY Section 20.01. Subject to the provisions of this Article 20 and other provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish electricity for use in the Demised Premises for normal business office purposes, making available to the core electrical closet serving the Demised Premises a capacity (the "Existing Capacity") equal to six (6) watts per Rentable Square Foot, on a demand load basis, exclusive of electricity used to operate the Building Unit(s) installed by Landlord to provide air-conditioning and ventilation to the Demises Premises. Said electricity shall be furnished to the core electric closet located on the same floor as the Demised Premises. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if either the quantity or character of electric service shall be changed or shall no longer be available or suitable for Tenant's requirements_ Landlord may elect to furnish and install all replacement lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts required in the Demised Premises, whereupon Tenant shall pay to Landlord or Landlord's designated contractor upon demand the then established charges of Landlord or said contractor, as the case may be, in connection therewith. Section 20.02. A. Subject to the provisions of Section 20.03 below, Tenant's consumption and demand of all electricity made available to the Demised Premises (including the Building Unit(s) servicing the Demised Premises) or to Tenant elsewhere in the Building (collectively, "Tenant Electricity") shall be measured by one or more submeters (collectively, the "Submeter") located in the core electric closet located on the same floor as the Demised Premises (and that do not measure the consumption of any electricity outside of the Demised Premises). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, in connection with. Tenant's Initial Work or any future Alterations, Tenant shall require or wish to install additional electrical panels in said electric closet, Tenant shall be permitted to do so at Tenant's own cost and expense, provided that Tenant shall have obtained Landlord's prior consent thereto and have otherwise complied with the relevant provisions of Article 5 above, and provided further that any additional submeters required in connection therewith shall be installed, maintained, repaired and replaced by Tenant, at Tenant's own cost and expense. All such additional submeters shall be of the same make and design as the Submeter, and all references hereinafter to the "Submeter" shall be deemed to include said additional submeters. B. Tenant agrees to purchase Tenant Electricity from Landlord or Landlord's designated agent at terms and rates equal to "Landlord's Electricity Cost" (as such term is defined below), plus five (5%) percent thereof, to reimburse Landlord for administrative services in connection with supplying, measuring and billing Tenant Electricity and for transmission and transformer losses. If more than one submeter shall measure Tenant Electricity, then the service rendered through each such submeter shall be aggregated and billed in accordance with the foregoing rate, unless Landlord shall elect separate billing on a per meter basis. Landlord may at any time render bills for Tenant Electricity in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and Tenant shall pay all amounts shown on said bills to Landlord, as additional rent, within fifteen (15) days following the date that such bills shall have been rendered. C. For purposes of this Article 20 and the other provisions of this Lease: (i) The term "Landlord's Electricity Cost" shall mean the cost per kilowatt hour and cost per kilowatt demand, by time of day, if applicable, or other applicable billing method, to Landlord of purchasing electricity for the Building, including fuel adjustment charges (as determined for each month of the relevant period), rate adjustment charges, sales tax, and/or any other factors used by the public utility furnishing electric service to the Building (the "Public Utility") in computing its charges to Landlord, applied to the kilowatt hours of electricity and kilowatts of demand purchased by Landlord during a given period. 35 427141.0113 NY 751131] 8v1 06/04/2014


 
(ii) The term "Electricity Additional Rent" shall mean all amounts computed in accordance with Subsection 20.02B above, and Landlord's determination of such amounts shall be binding and conclusive on Tenant. D. If the Submeter should fail to properly register or operate at any time during the Lease Term for any reason whatsoever, then, unless Landlord shall otherwise elect in accordance with the provisions of Section 20.03 below, Landlord may estimate the Electricity Additional Rent, and when the Submeter shall again become properly operative, an appropriate reconciliation shall be made, by Tenant paying any deficiency to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, or by Landlord crediting Tenant with the amount of any overpayment, as the case may be. E. If at any time during the Lease Term the electric rate charged by the Public Utility (the "Electric Rate") shall be increased by the Public Utility, or Landlord's Electricity Cost shall be increased for any other reason, then, effective as of the date of each such increase in the Electric Rate or Landlord's Electricity Cost (as the case may be), the Electricity Additional Rent shall be increased in proportion to such change in the Electric Rate or Landlord's Electricity Cost, as determined by Landlord's electrical consultant ("Landlord's Consultant"), whose determination shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties, subject to the provisions of Subsection 20.03E below. In no event, however, shall the Electric Rate deemed to be reduced below the Electric Rate in effect as of the Commencement Date for purposes of computing the Electricity Additional Rent. Tenant acknowledges that it is anticipated that electric rates, charges, fees and/or other costs, as well as methods of or rules on billing, may be changed by virtue of time-of-day rates or other methods of billing, and that the references in this Article 20 to changes in the Electric Rate are intended to include any and all such changes. Section 20.03. A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the provisions of Section 20.02 above, if, at any time during the Lease Term, Landlord shall be compelled by the Public Utility or any Legal Requirement to discontinue furnishing electricity to Tenant on a submetered basis (it being agreed that such compulsion shall include Landlord's inability to legally collect from Tenant the allowable costs incurred by Landlord for Tenant Electricity, and if Tenant shall be unable to (or during the period that Tenant is otherwise unable to) arrange to obtain electricity directly from the Public Utility, then (subject to the provisions of Section 20.05 below) Landlord shall furnish electricity to the Demised Premises in quantity equal to the Existing Capacity on a "rent inclusion" basis, and there shall be no separate charge to Tenant for such electricity. B. For the purposes of this Article 20, and other provisions of this Lease: (i) The term `Base Electric Charge" shall initially mean the amount of $139,986.00 per annum (except during the period which shall begin on the Commencement Date and end on the day immediately preceding the date on which Tenant shall first occupy the Demised Premises for the purpose of conducting Tenant's business operations therein, during which period the term "Base Electric Charge" shall mean the amount of $79,992.00 per annum). (ii) The term "Electric Inclusion Factor" shall mean an amount, to be included as a component of Fixed Rent, equal to the sum of the Base Electric Charge plus all increases thereto pursuant to the provisions of this Article 20; it being understood and agreed that at all times the Electric Inclusion Factor shall not be less than the amount computed by multiplying Landlord's Electricity Cost by Tenant's kilowatt hour and kilowatt demand usage as determined by the estimate of Landlord's Consultant, plus five (5%) percent of the resulting total. C. Landlord and Tenant agree that, during any period in which electricity shall be furnished to the Demised Premises on a "rent inclusion" basis, the annual Fixed Rent set forth in Section 1.01 above shall be increased by an amount equal to the Base Electric Charge, as the same may be adjusted pursuant to the provisions of this Article 20. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Base Electric Charge currently represents the amount initially included in the Electric Inclusion Factor to compensate Landlord for the electrical wiring and other installations necessary for, and for Landlord's obtaining and making available to Tenant, the redistribution of electric energy to the Demised Premises as an additional service, and that such Base Electric Charge component of the Electric Inclusion Factor is subject to adjustment as provided herein based on Tenant's consumption and/or demand of electricity, but shaII in no event be subject to reduction. D. At any time, and from time to time, after Tenant shall have entered into possession of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof, and electricity shall be furnished to the Demised Premises on a "rent inclusion" basis, Landlord and Landlord's agents and consultants may survey the electrical fixtures, appliances and equipment located in or servicing the Demised Premises and Tenant's consumption and demand of electricity therein to (i) ascertain whether Tenant is complying with Tenant's obligations under this Article 20, and (ii) determine whether the then Electric Inclusion Factor included in Fixed Rent is less than the Electric Inclusion Factor computed as a result of said survey, and to adjust the Electric Inclusion Factor component of Fixed Rent in accordance with the following computations: (x) In the case of the first electric survey, if the cost or value of Tenant's electric consumption and/or demand shown by the survey shall exceed the initial Electric Inclusion Factor, then the Electric Inclusion Factor component of the Fixed Rent shall be increased by the amount of such excess retroactive to the beginning of the period when electricity shall be furnished to the Demised Premises on a "rent inclusion" basis; and (y) In the event of the second and subsequent surveys, if the cost or value of Tenant's electric consumption and/or demand shown by such survey shall exceed the then Electric Inclusion Factor, 36 427141.0113 NY 75113118vI 06/0412014


 
then such Electric Inclusion Factor component of Fixed Rent shall be increased by the amount of such excess, effective as of the earlier of (a) the date of such survey or (b) the date on which increases in the connected power load or changes in electric consumption occurred (as determined by Landlord's Consultant). E. The initial amount of each such increase shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Landlord furnishes Tenant with a statement thereof, and thereafter, such increase shall be added to each of the monthly installments of Fixed Rent. The cost of each survey made pursuant to Subsection 20.03D above shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. The determination of Landlord's Consultant as to any increase in the Fixed Rent based on such average monthly electric energy consumption and/or demand shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties from and after the delivery of a copy of such determination to Landlord and Tenant, unless, within fifteen (15) days thereafter. Tenant shall dispute such determination by having an independent reputable electrical consultant, selected and paid for by Tenant ("Tenant's Consultant"), consult with Landlord or Landlord's Consultant as to said determination. If the parties or their respective consultants shall agree as to a resolution of said dispute, then such agreement shall be binding upon the parties, or if the difference between them shall be ten (10%) percent or less of the determination made by Landlord's Consultant, then the determination made by Landlord's Consultant shall be binding upon the parties. If Landlord's Consultant and Tenant's Consultant shall not agree within the said ten (10%) percent of each other, then Landlord's Consultant and Tenant's Consultant shall jointly select a third duly qualified independent, reputable electrical consultant who shall determine the matter and whose decision shall be binding upon both parties with the same force and effect as if a non-appealable judgment had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. If Landlord's Consultant and Tenant's Consultant shall not agree upon such a third electrical consultant, the matter shall be submitted to the American Arbitration Association in New York City to be determined in accordance with its rules and regulations, and the decision of the arbitrators shall be binding upon the parties with the same force and effect as if a non-appealable judgment had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Any charges of such third consultant or of the American Arbitration Association, and all costs and expenses of either, shall be borne equally by both parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until such final determination, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent to Landlord in accordance with the determination made by Landlord's Consultant. After such final determination, the parties shall promptly make adjustment for any deficiency owed by Tenant or any overage paid by Tenant. F. If at any time during the Lease Term the Electric Rate shall be increased by the Public Utility, then, effective as of the date of each such increase in the Electric Rate, the Electric Inclusion Factor included in the Fixed Rent shall be increased in proportion to such change in the Electric Rate (as determined by Landlord's Consultant, whose determination shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties, subject to the provisions of Subsection 20.03E above). In no event, however, shall the Electric Rate be deemed to be reduced below the Electric Rate in effect as of the Commencement Date for purposes of computing the Electric Inclusion Factor. G. At Landlord's request, the parties shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to each other a supplemental agreement in such form as Landlord shall reasonably require to reflect each change in the Fixed Rent under this Article 20, but each and every such change shall be effective as of the effective date described in the provision under which such change is provided for, even if such agreement shall not be executed and delivered. Section 20.04. A. Tenant's use of electricity in the Demised Premises shall not at any time exceed the Existing Capacity. In order to ensure that the Existing Capacity is not exceeded and to avert possible adverse effect upon the Building's distribution of electricity via the Building's electric system, if at any time the total connected load of Tenant's fixtures, appliances and equipment in the Demised Premises shall equal or exceed the Electric Capacity, then Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior consent in each instance, connect any additional fixtures, appliances or equipment to the Building's electric system, or make any alterations or additions to the then existing electric system of the Demised Premises. B. In the event that Tenant shall request electric energy in addition to the Existing Capacity, and if and to the extent that Landlord shall determine that such additional electric energy is available for use by Tenant without (x) resulting in allocation to Tenant of a disproportionate amount of available electric energy and (y) otherwise adversely affecting the Building or any of the other tenancies therein, then Landlord shall connect such additional electric energy to the Demised Premises, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent and within fifteen (15) days after the rendition of a bill therefor, a charge equal to Landlord's then established connection charge for each additional amp of electric energy or portion thereof so supplied to the Demised Premises, in addition to the cost of installing additional risers, switches and related equipment necessary in providing such additional electric energy. Section 20.05. A. Landlord reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electricity to Tenant in the Demised Premises at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days notice to Tenant, except that, unless otherwise compelled by the Public Utility or any Legal Requirements (it being agreed that such compulsion shall include Landlord's inability to legally collect from Tenant all of the costs incurred by Landlord for Tenant EIectricity), if Tenant shall immediately commence and diligently pursue to completion arrangements to obtain electricity from the Public Utility upon receipt of Landlord's notice that Landlord intends to discontinue furnishing electricity to the Demised Premises, then Landlord shall postpone such discontinuance for a sufficient amount of time so as to allow Tenant to obtain electricity directly from the Public Utility. If Landlord exercises such right, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except that, from and after the effective date of such discontinuance, Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish electricity to Tenant (and, if electricity shall, immediately prior to such discontinuance, have been furnished to the Demised Premises on a "rent inclusion" basis, the Fixed 37 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
Rent payable under this Lease shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Electric Inclusion Factor component of such Fixed Rent). B. If Landlord so discontinues furnishing electricity to Tenant, then Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, promptly arrange to obtain electricity directly from the Public Utility. Such electricity may be furnished to Tenant by means of the then existing Building System feeders, risers and wiring, but only if and to the extent that Landlord determines the same to be available, suitable and safe for such purpose. All meters and additional panel boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and equipment which may be required to obtain electricity directly from such Public Utility shall be: (x) if located entirely within the Demised Premises, installed and connected by Tenant, at Tenant's own cost and expense, but only after having received Landlord's prior written consent thereto, and Tenant shall thereafter maintain, repair and replace the same, as necessary, at Tenant's own cost and expense; and (y) if located wholly or in part outside of the Demised Premises, installed, connected and thereafter maintained, repaired and replaced, as necessary, by Landlord, at Tenant's cost and expense. Only rigid conduit will be allowed in connection with any such installation. Section 20.06. If, pursuant to any Legal Requirement, the amount which Landlord shall be permitted to charge Tenant for the purchase of electricity pursuant to this Article 20 shall be reduced below that which Landlord would otherwise be entitled to charge Tenant hereunder, then Tenant shall pay the difference between such amounts to Landlord as additional rent within fifteen (15) days after being billed therefor by Landlord, as compensation for the use of the Building's electrical distribution system. If any tax shall be imposed on Landlord by any federal, state or municipal authority with respect to electricity furnished to Tenant, then Tenant's pro rata share of such taxes shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent within fifteen (15) days after being billed therefor. Section 20.07. If the Public Utility or any Legal Requirement shall institute or require a change in the manner in which electricity is to be furnished or paid for, and such change reasonably necessitates an appropriate modification of this Article 20, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument which sets forth such modification; provided, however, that in no event shall the Fixed Rent be reduced to an amount below the amount thereof stated in Section 1.01 above. Tenant agrees to fully and timely comply with all rules and regulations of the Public Utility applicable to Tenant or the Demised Premises. Section 20.08. In the event that, pursuant to any of the provisions of this Article 20, any initial determinations, statements or estimates are made by or on behalf of Landlord (whether such initial determinations, statements or estimates are subject to dispute or not pursuant to the provisions of this Article 20), Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount(s) set forth on such initial determinations, statements or estimates, as the case may be, until subsequent determinations, statements or estimates are rendered, at which time the parties shall make adjustment for any deficiency owed by Tenant, or any overage paid by Tenant. Section 20.09. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Article 20 and regardless of the manner of service of electricity to the Demised Premises (whether by rent inclusion or submetering, but excluding a situation in which Tenant shall be obtaining electricity directly from the Public Utility pursuant to the provisions of Section 20.05 above), in no event shall the cost to Tenant for electricity to the Demised Premises be less than one hundred five (105%) percent of Landlord's Electricity Cost. Section 20.10. Any payments due hereunder for less than a calendar year at the commencement or end of the Lease Term shall be equitably prorated. Any delay or failure by Landlord to render any bills or statements under the provisions of this Article 20 shall not prejudice Landlord's right thereunder to render such bills or statements for prior or subsequent periods. Any delay or failure by Landlord in making any request or demand for any amount payable by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Article 20 shall not constitute a waiver of, or in any way diminish, the continuing obligation of Tenant to make such payment. The obligations of Tenant with respect to any payment or increase pursuant to the provisions of this Article 20 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term. ARTICLE 21 BROKER Section 21.01. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that Tenant has not employed, dealt or negotiated with any broker in connection with this Lease, and Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all liability, damage, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) arising out of any claim for a fee or commission by any broker or other party in connection with this Lease. The provisions of this Section 21.01 shall not apply to the Designated Broker. Landlord agrees to pay the Designated Broker's commission in accordance with separate agreements between Landlord and the Designated Broker. Landlord represents to Tenant that Landlord has not employed, dealt or negotiated with any broker (other than the Designated Broker) in connection with this Lease; it being understood and agreed that mailings by Landlord to brokers with respect to Landlord's desire to lease the Demised Premises shall not be deemed a breach of the foregoing representation. 38 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
ARTICLE 22 SUBORDINATION; NON-DISTURBANCE Section 22.01. A. Subject to the provisions of Section 22.06 below, this Lease and all of Tenant's rights hereunder, including Tenant's rights under Section 27.01, are and shall be subject and subordinate to (i) every Underlying Lease, the rights of the Overlandlord or Overlandlords under each Underlying Lease, all mortgages heretofore or hereafter placed on or affecting any Underlying Lease, alone or with other property, and to all advances heretofore or hereafter made under any such leasehold mortgage, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions, spreaders, additions and extensions of any such leasehold mortgage, and (ii) any condominium plan or declaration now or hereafter affecting the Building, and any other instruments or rules and regulations promulgated in connection therewith, and (iii) any reciprocal easement agreements or any other easements now or hereafter affecting the Building (including the easements contained in that certain deed from the Trustees of the Property of Penn Central Transportation Company and the New York and Harlem Railroad Company to Olympia & York 320 Park Land Company, recorded June 22, 1978, in the Office of the City Register, New York County), and (iv) any Mortgage now or hereafter affecting the real property of which the Demised Premises form a part or any part or parts of such real property, or such real property and other property, and to each advance made or hereafter to be made under any such Mortgage and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, substitutions, spreaders, additions and extensions of any such Underlying Lease or Leases and/or Mortgages. The subordination provisions herein contained shall be self-operative, and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. Landlord reserves the right, by written notice to Tenant, to determine that the foregoing provisions shall not apply to any or all Mortgages then being and/or thereafter to be made. In confirmation of said subordination, Tenant shall execute and deliver promptly any certificate that Landlord or that Landlord's successors-in-interest may reasonably request. B. Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the date of this Lease, there is no Underlying Lease, Mortgage or condominium regime encumbering the Land or the Building. Section 22.02. This Lease may be conditionally or otherwise assigned as collateral security by Landlord to a Mortgagee, which assignment may provide that, without Mortgagee's prior written consent, Tenant and Landlord shall not (i) pay or accept the rent or additional rent under the terms of this Lease for more than one month in advance of the due date of such rent or additional rent, or (ii) enter into an agreement to amend or modify this Lease if there shall be an unexpired term of more than one (1) year thereunder, or (iii) voluntarily surrender the Demised Premises, terminate this Lease or accelerate the Lease Term without cause, or (iv) authorize the Tenant to assign this Lease or sublet the Demised Premises or any part thereof except in the manner provided under the terms of this Lease. Any agreement by Landlord to make, perform or furnish any capital improvements or services not related to the possession or use of the Demised Premises by Tenant shall not be binding on any Mortgagee in the event of foreclosure or in the event that a Mortgagee enters upon the Demised Premises pursuant to any security instrument in connection with the mortgage loan. Regardless of whether and to what extent Landlord may have an obligation in connection therewith, until a Mortgagee or such Mortgagee's successor (as the case may be) shall take actual possession of the Building, such Mortgagee and such Mortgagee's successor shall not be responsible for any improvements, covenants, contractual obligations or services which Landlord has agreed to make, furnish or perform for Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or for the control, care or management of the Building or any waste committed on the Building by any tenant, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Building resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee or stranger. As of the date hereof, no security deposited by Tenant has been transferred to any Mortgagee, who will assume no liability for any security so deposited unless and until such Mortgagee demands the transfer of said security and assumes responsibility therefor. Section 22.03. Tenant agrees that, unless a Mortgagee shall elect otherwise in the case of a foreclosure of such Mortgage, or unless the Overlandlord of an Underlying Lease to which this Lease is subordinate shall elect otherwise in the case of a cancellation or a termination of such Underlying Lease, neither the cancellation nor termination of any Underlying Lease, nor any foreclosure of a Mortgage affecting the Land, Building, an Underlying Lease or the Demised Premises, nor the institution of any suit, action, summary or other proceeding against Landlord herein or any successor landlord, shall by operation of law or otherwise result in cancellation or termination of this Lease or the obligations or liabilities of Tenant hereunder, and upon the request of the Overlandlord of such Underlying Lease, or the holder of such Mortgage, or the purchaser at a sale in foreclosure of such Mortgage, or other person who shall succeed to the interests of Landlord (which such Overlandlord, holder, purchaser or other person is hereafter in this Section referred to as "such successor-in-interest"), Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to such successor-in-interest and recognize such successor-in-interest as the landlord under this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute an instrument in writing satisfactory to such successor-in-interest whereby Tenant attorns to such successor-in-interest, and hereby appoints such successor-in-interest, irrevocably, as attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute such instrument for and on behalf of Tenant. Tenant further waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which may give or purport to give Tenant any right of election to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Demised Premises in the event any Underlying Lease terminates or any such mortgage is foreclosed or any such proceeding is brought by any Overlandlord or the holder of any such mortgage. Section 22.04. In the event of the occurrence of any act or omission by Landlord which would give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease or claim a partial or total eviction, or make any claim against Landlord for the payment of money, Tenant shall not exercise such right until Tenant shall have given written notice of such occurrence to (i) Landlord and (ii) each Mortgagee and the Overlandlord of any Underlying Lease, as to whom, and to the last address to which, Tenant has been instructed to give such notice, and a reasonable period for remedying 39 427I41.0113 NY 7S 113118v 1 06/04/2014


 
such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notices, during which such parties or any of them with reasonable diligence following the giving of such notice, have not commenced and continued to remedy such act or omission or to cause the same to be remedied. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to create any rights in Tenant not specifically granted in this Lease or under any applicable provision of law, nor to obligate any such Mortgagee or Overlandlord to remedy any such act or omission. Section 22.05. If a Mortgagee or prospective mortgagee shall request modifications to this Lease, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer Tenant's consent thereto, provided that such modifications shall not increase the obligations of Tenant hereunder (other than in a de minimi s manner) or adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created (other than in a de minimis manner). In no event shall a requirement that the consent of any such Mortgagee or prospective mortgagee be given for any modification of this Lease, or for any assignment or sublease, be deemed to materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created. Section 22.06. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 22 (but subject to the provisions of this Section 22.06) this Lease shall not be subject or subordinate to any hereafter placed Mortgage or Underlying Lease, unless Tenant shall obtain a "non-disturbance" agreement from the holder of any Mortgage hereafter encumbering the Land and/or the Building or from the Overlandlord of any Underlying Lease hereafter affecting the Land and/or the Building, in the standard form of any such Mortgagee or Overlandlord (provided that the same shall be commercially reasonable), which shall provide in substance that, so long as Tenant is not in default with respect to any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease (after notice and the expiration of the applicable cure period): (a) Tenant shall not be joined as a party defendant (unless required by applicable law) (i) in any action or proceeding which may be instituted or taken by any Overlandlord for the purpose of terminating the Underlying Lease by reason of any default thereunder, or (ii) in any foreclosure action or proceeding which may be instituted by any Mortgagee, and (b) Tenant shall not be evicted from the Demised Premises, nor shall Tenant's leasehold estate or right to possession of the Demised Premises be terminated or disturbed, by reason of any default under any Underlying Lease or Mortgage. Any non-disturbance agreement shall also provide that Tenant shall, at the option of any Mortgagee or the Overlandlord under any Underlying Lease, either (x) attorn to such Mortgagee or Overlandlord and perform for such Mortgagee's or Overlandlord's benefit all of the terms, covenants and conditions to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, or (y) enter into a new lease with the Overlandlord under the Underlying Lease or any Mortgagee or their respective successors or assigns for the balance of the Lease Term on the same terms and conditions as are contained in this Lease. If Tenant shall not execute and deliver to a Mortgagee or Overlandlord (as the case may be) a non-disturbance and attornment agreement which is submitted to Tenant in accordance with this Section 22.06, then this Lease and all of Tenant's rights hereunder shall nonetheless be subject and subordinate to the relevant Mortgage or Underlying Lease.

Section 29.02. If any partner in Tenant is or shall be a professional corporation. Tenant agrees to cause such professional corporation and each individual shareholder thereof to execute such guaranties and other instruments, agreements or documents as Landlord may reasonably request confirming that such individual shareholder shall have the same obligations and liability under this Lease as such shareholder would have had if he, and not such professional corporation, were a partner in Tenant. Section 29.03. Tenant and each of the partners/shareholders of Tenant hereby waive any requirements of law that may require that Landlord first look to the assets of Tenant for recovery of any monies due hereunder, it being the intention of the parties hereto that Landlord may, at Landlord's election, proceed against the assets of Tenant and/or the assets of the individual partners/shareholders of Tenant, whether simultaneously, or in such order of priority as Landlord may determine in Landlord's sole discretion. The provisions of this Section 29.03 are not intended to mean that Landlord shall have limited or waived its rights to any other available remedies hereunder or under applicable law as to Tenant, including the right to Iook to the assets of Tenant for recovery of any monies due hereunder. Section 29.04. The partners/shareholders of Tenant hereby consent and submit to the jurisdiction of any court of record of New York State located in New York County, or of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and agree that service of process in any action or proceeding brought by Landlord may be made upon any or all of the partners/shareholders of Tenant by mailing a copy of the summons to such partner(s)/shareholder(s) either at their respective addresses or at the Demised Premises, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested.

The failure of the Landlord to enforce Landlord's rights for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease, or any of the rules and regulations, shall not constitute a waiver thereof, and Landlord shall have all remedies provided herein and by applicable law with respect to any subsequent act which would have originally constituted a violation. The receipt by Landlord of Fixed Rent and/or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver be in writing signed by Landlord. Tenant hereby expressly waives any right that Tenant might otherwise have to raise or assert either the aforesaid failure of Landlord to enforce rights, seek redress or insist upon strict performance, or the aforesaid receipt by Landlord of Fixed Rent and/or additional rent, as a basis for any defense or counterclaim in any legal, equitable or other 43 427141.0113 NY 75113118v1 06/04/2014


 
proceeding in which Landlord shall seek to enforce any rights, covenants or conditions under this Lease. The remedies provided in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall not in any way abridge, modify or preclude any other rights or remedies to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease, at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant expressly agrees that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall be entitled to exercise all of the rights set forth in Article 15 above (including the right to terminate this Lease), notwithstanding that this Lease provides that Landlord may cure the default or otherwise perform the obligation of Tenant which gave rise to such Event of Default, and regardless of whether Landlord shall have effected such cure or performed such obligation. The receipt and retention by Landlord of Fixed Rent or additional rent from any person other than Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition contained in this Lease, or the acceptance of such other person as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease. Section 30.02.

All of the schedules, riders and exhibits, if any, annexed hereto are incorporated herein and made a part hereof as though fully set forth herein. If Tenant shall have any right to an extension or renewal of the Lease Term, or any right to lease other space from Landlord, Landlord's exercise of Landlord's right to terminate this Lease shall operate, ipso facto, to terminate such renewal, extension or other right, whether or not theretofore exercised by Tenant. Any option on the part of Tenant herein contained for an extension or renewal hereof shaII not be deemed to give Tenant any option for a further extension beyond the first renewal or extended term. No option or right granted to Tenant under this Lease to terminate, extend, or make any other election, shall be exercisable or valid during such time as Tenant is not duly keeping, observing and complying with all of the terms, provisions and conditions on Tenant's part to be observed and performed under this Lease. Section 30.03. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord's agents during the Lease Term shall be deemed to constitute an eviction by Landlord, or be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Demised Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord's agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Demised Premises prior to the termination of this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord's agents shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Demised Premises. In the event that Tenant at any time shall desire to have Landlord sublet the Demised Premises for Tenant's account, Landlord or Landlord's agents are authorized to receive said keys for such purposes without releasing Tenant from any of Tenant's obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby relieves Landlord of any liability for loss of or damage to any of Tenant's property in connection with such subletting.

In the event that Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, the Security shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date and delivery of exclusive possession of the Demised Premises to Landlord. In the event of any making or assignment of any Underlying Lease or upon a conveyance of the Building: (i) Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security to the assignee or lessee or transferee, (ii) Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such Security (other than with respect to any portion of the Security applied by Landlord in contravention of the provisions of this Article 33, but in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any amount in excess of such portion of the Security), and (iii) Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord's successor for the return of said Security, it being agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security to a new Landlord.

Section 33.02.

Section 33.03. A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 33.01 above, in lieu of a cash security deposit, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a clean, irrevocable, transferable and unconditional letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit") issued by and drawn upon a commercial bank (hereinafter referred to as the "Issuing Bank") which shall be a member bank of the New York Clearinghouse Association (or, in the alternative, which shall have offices for banking purposes in the Borough of Manhattan and shall have a net worth of not less than $1 billion, with appropriate evidence thereof to be submitted by Tenant), which Letter of Credit shall: (i) have a term of not less than one year, (ii) be in the form customarily used by said Issuing Bank, provided that the same shall not be less favorable to Landlord (except to a de minimis extent) than the form annexed hereto as Exhibit "G", (iii) be for the benefit of Landlord, (iv) be in the amount of $989,643.00, (v) except as otherwise provided in this Section 33.03, conform and be subject to the International Standby Practices (ISP 1998, Publication 590) of the International Chamber of Commerce (or any revision thereof or successor thereto), (vi) be fully transferable by Landlord without any fees or charges therefor (or, if the Letter of Credit shall provide for the payment of any transfer fees or charges, the same shall be paid by Tenant as and when such payment shall be requested by the Issuing Bank), (vii) provide that Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon presentation to the Issuing Bank of a sight draft accompanied by Landlord's statement that Landlord is then entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and (viii) provide that the Letter of Credit shall be deemed automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each year thereafter during the entire Lease Term and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, unless the Issuing Bank shall send notice (the "Non-Renewal Notice") to Landlord by registered mail, return receipt requested, not less than sixty (60) days next preceding the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit that the Issuing Bank elects not to renew such Letter of Credit, in which case Landlord shall have the right, by sight draft on the Issuing Bank, to receive the monies represented by the then existing Letter of Credit, and to hold and/or disburse such proceeds pursuant to the terms of Section 33.01 above as cash security. If Landlord shall fail, for any reason whatsoever, to draw upon the Letter of Credit within said sixty (60) day period, and the Letter of Credit shall expire prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the Expiration Date of the Lease Term, then Tenant shall, upon demand, furnish Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit (which shall comply with all of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence), so that Landlord shall have the entire Security on hand at all times during the Lease Term and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Letter of Credit shall be delivered to Landlord as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, and that Landlord shall have the right to draw upon the entire Letter of Credit in any instance in which Landlord would have the right to use, apply or retain the whole or any part of any cash security deposited with Landlord pursuant to Section 33.01 above. B. With respect to the Letter of Credit being required hereunder in lieu of cash security: (i) all references to "Security" in Section 33.01 above shall be deemed to refer to the Letter of Credit, or any proceeds thereof as may be drawn upon by Landlord, and (ii) the provisions of Section 33.02 above shall apply only to such Letter of Credit proceeds (if any) as may be drawn and held by Landlord. C. Landlord agrees that, if no Event of Default shall have occurred at any time during the Lease Term, and if Tenant shall not then be in default with respect to any of the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall be permitted to reduce the amount of said Letter of Credit on the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date to $659,762.00, it being agreed, however, that at no time during the Lease Term shall the Letter of Credit furnished to Landlord pursuant to this Section 33.03 be reduced to 48 427141.0113 NY 75113118x1 06/04/2014


 
an amount Iess than $659,762.00. In order to implement the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 33.03C, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit (which amendment must be reasonably acceptable to Landlord in all respects; provided, however, that Landlord agrees not to add any conditions upon Tenant with respect to such amendment that are not expressly provided for in this Article 33) reducing the amount of the Letter of Credit by the amount of the reduction permitted by the foregoing provisions of this Subsection 33.03C, and Landlord shall execute the amendment and such other documents as are reasonably necessary to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof. If Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof, Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such amendment, either (i) notify Tenant of any reasonable objections that Landlord may have with respect to such amendment, or (ii) execute such amendment of the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's option, in lieu of delivering an amendment to the Letter of Credit as aforesaid, to replace the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit from an Issuing Bank in the amount of $659,762.00 (the "Burndown L/C") that satisfies all of the qualifications set forth in Subsection 33.03A above. Upon receipt of a Bumdown L/C that satisfies the requirements of Subsection 33.03A above, Landlord shall immediately return the Existing L/C to Tenant. D. In the event that, at any time during the Lease Term, Landlord believes in good faith (i) that the net worth of the Issuing Bank shall be less than the minimum amount specified in Subsection 33.03A above, or (ii) that circumstances have occurred indicating that the Issuing Bank may be incapable of, unable to, or prohibited from honoring the then existing Letter of Credit or Burndown L/C (hereinafter referred to as the "Existing L/C") in accordance with the terms thereof, then, upon the happening of either of the foregoing, Landlord may send notice to requiring Tenant within twenty (20) days to replace the Existing L/C with a new letter of credit (hereinafter referred to as the "Replacement L/C") from an Issuing Bank satisfying the qualifications described in Subsection 33.03A above. Upon receipt of a Replacement L/C satisfying the qualifications of said Subsection 33.03A, Landlord shall immediately return the Existing L/C to Tenant. In the event that (a) a Replacement L/C satisfying the qualifications of Subsection 33.03A above is not received by Landlord within the time specified, or (b) Landlord in good faith believes an emergency exists, then, in either event, upon not less than two (2) Business Days notice to Tenant, the Existing L/C may be presented for payment by Landlord and the proceeds thereof shall be held by Landlord in accordance with Section 33.01 above, subject, however, to Tenant's obligation to replace such cash security with a new letter of credit satisfying the qualifications of Subsection 33.03A above. ARTICLE 34 RENEWAL OPTION Section 34.01. The initially named Tenant under this Lease (i.e., Pzena Investment Management, LLC) shall have an option (the "Renewal Option") to extend the term of this Lease for a single renewal term of five (5) years (the "Renewal Term"), which shall commence at noon on the Expiration Date and shall expire at noon on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Expiration Date or such earlier date upon which this Lease may be terminated as herein provided. The Renewal Option may be exercised only by Tenant giving Landlord written notice (the "Renewal Notice") of Tenant's intention to renew this Lease pursuant to this Article 34 not later than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date, and such Renewal Notice shall be deemed properly given only if, on the date that Tenant shall exercise the Renewal Option (the "Exercise Date"). (i) this Lease shall not have been previously terminated or cancelled, (ii) Tenant shall be in occupancy of all of the Demised Premises, and (iii) Pzena Investment Management, LLC shall not then be in breach or default of any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Time shall be strictly of the essence with respect to the giving of the Renewal Notice by Tenant to Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 34.01, if subsequent to the Exercise Date but prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term: (x) Tenant shall not be in occupancy of all of the Demised Premises, or (y) an Event of Default shall have occurred, then Landlord, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, may elect, by written notice to Tenant, to void Tenant's exercise of the Renewal Option, in which case Tenant's exercise of the Renewal Option shall be of no force or effect, and the Lease Term shall end on the Expiration Date of the initial term of this Lease, unless sooner cancelled or terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Lease or by law. Section 34.02. If Tenant shall exercise the Renewal Option in accordance with the provisions of this Article 34, then this Lease shall be extended for the Renewal Term upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that: (i) during the Renewal Term, the Fixed Rent shall be the fair annual market rental value (the "Market Value Rent") of the Demised Premises on the Expiration Date, determined as provided in Section 34.03 below, and with (a) the new Base Tax Amount shall be the Taxes with respect to the fiscal year commencing July 1, 2024, and ending June 30, 2025, and (b) the new Base Operating Year to be the 2025 calendar year, (ii) from and after the Exercise Date (but subject to the provisions of the last sentence of Section 34.01 above), all references to "Expiration Date" shall be deemed to refer to the last day of the Renewal Term, and all references to "Lease Term" shall be deemed to include the Renewal Term, (iii) Tenant shall have no further right or option to renew this Lease or the term hereof, and (iv) all provisions of this Lease concerning the performance by Landlord of any work, and the grant by Landlord of any monetary contribution, rent abatement or rent credit, in connection with Tenant's initial occupancy of the Demised Premises shall be deemed deleted.

Provided that the Renewal Notice shall so request, Landlord shall give notice (the "MVR Notice") to Tenant of Landlord's initial determination of the Market Value Rent at least nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date. If the Renewal Notice shall not contain a request that Landlord furnish the MVR Notice at least nine (9) months prior to the Expiration Date, Landlord may give Tenant the MVR Notice at any time prior to the Determination Date. Notwithstanding that the Determination Date shall not yet have occurred, such initial determination of Market Value Rent shall be final and binding in fixing the Market Value Rent, unless, within forty-five (45) days after Landlord shall have given MVR Notice to Tenant, Landlord shall receive a notice from Tenant (the "MVR Objection Notice"): (i) advising Landlord that Tenant disagrees with the initial determination of Market Value Rent set forth in the MVR. Notice, and (ii) proposing a specific alternative Market Value Rent, which shall have been determined in good faith by Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant shall fail to agree upon the Market Value Rent within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have received the MVR Objection Notice, then Landlord and Tenant each shall give notice to the other setting forth the name and address of an arbitrator designated by the party giving such notice. If either party shall fail to give notice of such designation within ten (10) days, then the first arbitrator chosen shall make the determination alone. If two arbitrators shall have been designated, such two arbitrators shall, within thirty (30) days following the designation of the second arbitrator, make their determinations of Market Value Rent in writing by choosing either Landlord's initial determination of Market Value Rent set forth in the MVR Notice or the Tenant's determination of Market Value Rent set forth in the MVR Objection Notice, and give notice thereof to each other and to Landlord and Tenant. Such two arbitrators shall have twenty (20) days after the receipt of notice of each other's determinations to confer with each other and to attempt to reach agreement as to the determination of Market Value Rent. The arbitrators shall take into account in any such determination that the new Base Tax Amount and the new Base Operating Year shall be as set forth in Section 34.02 above. If such two arbitrators shall concur as to the determination of the Market Value Rent, such concurrence shall be final and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. If such two arbitrators shall fail to concur by the end of said twenty (20) day period, then such two arbitrators shall forthwith designate a third arbitrator. If the two arbitrators shall fail to agree upon the designation of such third arbitrator within ten (10) days, then either party may apply to the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereto having jurisdiction for the designation of such arbitrator. All arbitrators shall be real estate brokers or consultants who shall have had at least fifteen (15) years continuous experience in the business of appraising or managing real estate or acting as real estate agents or brokers in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York. The third arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he may deem appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after his designation, choose one of the determinations of the two arbitrators originally selected by the parties (and may not select any other amount), and that choice by the third arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall pay its own counsel fees and expenses, if any, in connection with any arbitration under this Article 34, including the expenses and fees of any arbitrator selected by it in accordance with the provisions of this Article, and the parties shall share equally all other expenses and fees of any such arbitration. The determination rendered in accordance with the provisions of this Section 34.03 shall be final and binding in fixing the Market Value Rent. The arbitrators shall not have the power to add to, modify or change any of the provisions of this Lease. C. If for any reason the Market Value Rent shall not have been determined prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term, then, until the Market Value Rent and, accordingly, the Fixed Rent, shall have been finally determined, the Fixed Rent and all Recurring Additional Rent payable for and during the Renewal Term shall be equal to the Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent prevailing on the date immediately prior to the commencement of the Renewal Term. Upon final determination of the Market Value Rent, an appropriate adjustment to the Fixed Rent shall be made reflecting such final determination, and Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, shall refund or pay to the other any overpayment or deficiency, as the case may be, in the payment of Fixed Rent from the commencement of the Renewal Term to the date of such final determination. Section 34.04.

I. The rights of tenants with respect to the entrances, corridors, elevators and escalators of the Building are limited to ingress to and egress from the tenants' premises for the tenants and their employees, licensees and invitees, and no tenant shall use, or permit the use of, the entrances, corridors, escalators or elevators for any other purpose. All deliveries and shipments of goods and packages shall be through the freight elevators, and not the passenger elevators. No tenant shall invite to the tenant's premises, or permit the visit of, persons in such numbers or under such conditions as to interfere with the use and enjoyment of any of the plazas, entrances, corridors, escalators, elevators and other facilities of the Building by other tenants. Fire exits and stairways are for emergency use only, and they shall not be used for any other purpose by the tenants, their employees, licensees or invitees. No tenant shall encumber or obstruct, or permit the encumbrance or obstruction of any of the lobbies, sidewalks, plazas, entrances, corridors, escalators, elevators, fire exits, stairways or other public portions of the Building. No door mat of any kind whatsoever shall be placed or left in any public hall or outside any entry door of any tenant's premises.

Landlord may refuse admission to the Building to any person not known to the watchman in charge or not having a pass issued by Landlord or not properly identified, and may require all persons admitted to or leaving the Building to register. Tenant's employees, agents and visitors shall be permitted to enter and leave the Building whenever appropriate arrangements have been previously made between Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto. Each tenant shall be responsible for all persons for whom the tenant requests such permission, and shall be Iiable to Landlord for all acts of such persons.

In case of invasion, riot, public excitement or other commotion, Landlord may prevent all access to the Building during the continuance of the same, by closing the doors or otherwise, for the safety of the tenants and protection of property in the Building. All removals, or the carrying in or out of any safes, freight, furniture, packages, boxes, crates or any other object or matter of any description must take place during such hours and in such elevators as Landlord may determine from time to time. Landlord reserves the right to inspect all objects and matter to be brought into the Building, and to exclude from the Building all objects and matter which violate any of these Rules and Regulations or the lease of which these Rules and Regulations are a part. Landlord may require any person leaving the Building with any package or other object to exhibit a pass from the tenant from whose premises the package or object is being removed, but the establishment and enforcement of such requirement shall not impose any responsibility on Landlord for the protection of any tenant against the removal of property from the premises of the tenant. Landlord shall in no way be liable to any tenant for damages or loss arising from the admission, exclusion or ejection of any person to or from the tenant's premises or the Building under or despite the provisions of this rule. On days and hours other than those during which full elevator service is required to be provided, Landlord may lock all outside Building doors and require use of a night bell to summon a watchman from his other duties in order to gain access. 3. No tenant shall obtain or accept for use in its premises ice, drinking water, food, beverage, towel, barbering, boot blacking, floor polishing, lighting maintenance, cleaning, messenger service or other similar services from any persons not authorized by Landlord in writing to furnish such services, provided always that the charges for such services by persons authorized by Landlord are not excessive. Such services shall be furnished only at such hours, in such places within the tenant's premises and under such regulations as may be fixed by Landlord. 4. No awnings or other projections over or around the windows shall be installed by any tenant, and only such window blinds or drapes as are supplied or permitted by Landlord shall be used in a tenant's premises.

All entrance doors in each tenant's premises shall be left locked when the tenant's premises are not in use. Entrance doors shall not be left open at any time unless the tenant, at its expense, has connected a special smoke detector system in compliance with all Legal Requirements and approved by Landlord. Each tenant, before closing and leaving its premises at any time, shall ensure that all lights are turned out. All windows in each tenant's premises shall be kept closed at all times, and all blinds and/or drapes therein above the ground floor shall be lowered and kept drawn when and as reasonably required (because of the position of the sun) during the operation of the Building air-conditioning system to cool or ventilate the tenants' premises.

Tenants shall not permit any cooking within their premises (unless consented to in writing by Landlord), and shall not permit any food odors emanating within their premises to seep into other portions of the Building.

Interior signs and lettering on doors shall be inscribed, painted or affixed for each tenant by Landlord at the expense of such tenant, and shall be of a size, color and style acceptable to Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to prohibit any advertising by any tenant which impairs the reputation of the Building or its desirability as a building for offices, and, upon written notice from Landlord, such tenant shall refrain from or discontinue such advertising. 11. No additional locks or bolts of any kind (including locks that are opened by magnetic cards) shall be placed upon any of the doors or windows in any tenant's premises, and no lock on any door therein shall be changed or altered in any respect, unless, in each such case, Landlord shall have been furnished with a key thereto (or the same shall be operable by Landlord's master key for the Building). Duplicate keys for a tenant's premises and toilet rooms shall be procured only from the Landlord, which may make a reasonable charge therefor. Upon the termination of a tenant's lease, all keys to the tenant's premises and toilet rooms shall be delivered to the Landlord, and, in the event of the loss of any keys furnished by Landlord, such tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost thereof. 12.

The listing of any name other than that of a tenant, whether on the doors of the premises, on the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in such tenant's lease or in the premises or be deemed to be the written consent of Landlord required pursuant to such tenant's lease, it being expressly understood that any such listing is a privilege extended by Landlord revocable at will by written notice to such tenant. 22.
