New York, New York 10036 (“Sublessor”), and WESTWOOD ONE RADIO NETWORKS, INC., with offices at 1114 Avenue of the Americas, 28th Floor, New York, NY (“Sublessee”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, by Lease dated as of March 14, 2000, by and between 1166 LLC, as landlord (“Landlord”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank (then known as The Chase Manhattan Bank), as tenant (“JPMC”), (as such Lease may, subject to the limitations contained in this Sublease, be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (as shown on Exhibit A annexed hereto) (the “Prime Lease”), Landlord leased to JPMC certain premises located on the Cellar, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st Floors (collectively, the “Premises”) in the building known by the street address 1166 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York (the “Building”), which Premises are more particularly described in the Prime Lease, a true and correct copy of which has been delivered to Sublessee.
WHEREAS, JPMC has assigned its interest as tenant under the Prime Lease to Sublessor; and
WHEREAS, Sublessor desires to sublease to Sublessee and Sublessee desires to hire from Sublessor a portion of the Premises (the “Subleased Premises”), which Subleased Premises are more particularly described below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Sublessor and Sublessee hereby agree as follows:
SECTION 1. Subleased Premises. As of the Commencement Date (defined below), Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby hires from Sublessor, the Subleased Premises, consisting of approximately 39,075 rentable square feet, located on the 10th Floor of the Building, shown on the floor plan annexed to the Prime Lease as Exhibit A. The reference to a floor plan of the Subleased Premises does not constitute a representation by Sublessor that said floor plan is exact or correct, and Sublessor makes no representation or warranty with respect to the accuracy of the layout or dimensions of the Subleased Premises as shown on said floor plan or otherwise.

 

 


 

SECTION 2. Term. (a) The term (“Term”) of this Sublease shall commence on the date (the “Commencement Date”) which is the latest to occur of (i) December 1, 2009 (the “Anticipated Commencement Date”), or (ii) three (3) business days after Sublessor gives Sublessee written notice that the condition set forth in Section 23 has been satisfied, and shall, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, expire at midnight on December 30, 2020 (the “Expiration Date”). On the Commencement Date, Sublessor shall disconnect its card readers necessary to access the Subleased Premises. Subtenant may have its own security system but it must be connected to the Building class E system and the Building management must have key cards. Subject to the provisions of Section 13(f)(ii) hereof, if for any reason the Prime Lease is terminated prior to the Expiration Date of this Sublease, this Sublease shall be deemed to have been terminated on the date that is one (1) day prior to the date of termination of the Prime Lease, and further subject to Sections 2(b) and 13(f) hereof, Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee by reason thereof for damages or otherwise unless (i) such termination of the Prime Lease and early termination of this Sublease results from either (A) a default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period by Sublessor, as tenant under the Prime Lease and not as the result of a default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period by Sublessee under this Sublease or (B) a voluntary surrender or termination of the Prime Lease, except that Sublessor shall return to Sublessee, subject to the other provisions hereof, that portion of any Rent (hereinafter defined) paid in advance by Sublessee, if any, that is applicable to the period following the date of such termination. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month or the Expiration Date of this Sublease is not the last day of a month, rent for the month in which the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs shall be pro-rated on a per diem basis. Notwithstanding that there is no representation as to the accuracy of the floor plan, Sublessor and Sublessee agree that for all purposes of this Sublease (a) the Subleased Premises shall be deemed to contain 39,075 rentable square feet; and (b) the Premises shall be deemed to contain 556,370 rentable square feet as set forth in Schedule 3.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 2(a) above, and provided Sublessor gives Sublessee written notice that the condition set forth in Section 23 has been satisfied, at any time on or after November 1, 2009, Sublessee shall be permitted to gain access to the Premises for the sole and exclusive purpose of performing Sublessee’s initial work therein (“Sublessee’s Initial Work”), provided and on condition that (i) at all times Sublessee complies fully with, and such access shall be governed by and subject to, all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, except that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Sublease, Sublessee shall not be responsible for the payment of Base Rent or Additional Rent to Sublessor until the Rent Commencement Date; (ii) Sublessee hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Sublessor, its directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any claims, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities whatsoever arising out of Sublessee access to or presence at the Subleased Premises in connection with the access granted pursuant to this Article; and (iii) Sublessee shall repair promptly, at Sublessee’s sole cost and expense, in a good and workmanlike manner, using materials of a quality equal or superior to those which were damaged, and in accordance with the requirements of this Sublease, any and all damage to the Subleased Premises or the Building arising out of Sublessee access to or presence at the Subleased Premises in connection with the access granted pursuant to this Article. The foregoing access to perform Sublessee’s Initial Work shall not be deemed the delivery or acceptance of possession by Sublessee, nor the Commencement Date of this Sublease.

(c) If Sublessor is unable to give possession of the Subleased Premises in the condition required by Section 7 on the Commencement Date for any reason, Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee by reason thereof for damages or otherwise, and the validity of this Sublease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the same be construed to extend the Term but the Commencement Date will be deferred until Sublessor is able to give possession of the Subleased Premises. The provisions of this Section 2(b) are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law. If Sublessor fails to give possession of the Subleased Premises in the condition required by Section 7 for reasons which do not constitute an Unavoidable Delay as that term is defined in Section 18.03B of the Prime Lease and the Commencement Date does not occur by December 31, 2009, Sublessee will receive an abatement of Base Rent equal to two day’s Base Rent for each day elapsing between January 1, 2010 and the Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date does not occur by February 1, 2010 without regard to whether there was an Unavoidable Delay, Sublessee may cancel this Sublease on notice to Sublessor given by February 28, 2010. If the reason for non-delivery of the Premises by December 31, 2009 was a casualty governed by Section 12 hereof and Article 9 of the Prime Lease, as incorporated herein, and the Commencement Date has not occurred by February 28, 2010, then Sublessee may elect (but without any obligation to so elect, and on notice given to Sublessor by February 28, 2010 to have February 1, 2010 be the Commencement Date in which event this Sublease will remain in full force and effect subject to the provisions of Section 12 hereof and the provisions of Article 9 of the Prime Lease, as incorporated herein.
SECTION 3. Base Rent and Additional Rent.
(a) Commencing on the tenth (10th) month anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Rent Commencement Date”) Sublessee covenants to pay Sublessor, at the office of Sublessor, or at such other place as Sublessor may from time to time designate in writing, a fixed annual rental (“Base Rent”) as specified in Schedule 1 annexed hereto and made a part hereof.
Each monthly installment of Base Rent shall be due on the first day of each month during the Term without any set-off or deduction of any kind whatsoever, except as may be expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor may, in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.06 of the Prime Lease, as incorporated herein, require the Base Rent to be paid by a wire transfer to an account at a bank specified in a written notice to Sublessee. Any sum due hereunder to Sublessor which is not Base Rent is referred to as “Additional Rent”.
(b) Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, as Additional Rent hereunder (i) Sublessee’s Proportionate Share (defined below) of “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” (as defined in the Prime Lease) of increases in Taxes (as defined in Section 19.02A of the Prime Lease) in accordance with Article 19 of the Prime Lease except that for purposes of this Sublease, all references in the Prime Lease to “Base Tax Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the Taxes for the Premises for the July 1, 2009 to June 30, 2010 fiscal tax year, (ii) Sublessee’s Proportionate Share of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of increases in the Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 19.02E of the Prime Lease) in accordance with Article 19 of the Prime Lease except that for purposes of this Sublease, all references in the Prime Lease to “Base Operating Amount” shall mean an amount equal to Operating Expenses under the Prime Lease for calendar year 2010, (iii) one-hundred percent (100%) of any Additional Rent payable by Sublessor to

Landlord under the Prime Lease which is attributable to Sublessee’s use or manner of use of the Subleased Premises, or manner of use of the portions of the Building other than the Subleased Premises or is for services provided to Sublessee by Landlord and (iv) one-hundred percent (100%) of amounts payable hereunder for services (other than costs for cleaning, the costs of which, subject to the provisions of Section 13(e) hereof, are included in the Base Rent) provided to Sublessee hereunder by Sublessor unless such services are being provided to multiple users, including Sublessor, the cost of such services shall be equitably pro-rated among such multiple users. Provided Sublessor has given Sublessee at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the amount of Additional Rent payable under this paragraph on account of amounts due to the Landlord under the Prime Lease and of the date the corresponding payment is due Landlord under the Prime Lease, Sublessee shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 of the Prime Lease, as incorporated herein, wire transfer to Sublessor’s account the amount of Additional Rent not less than two (2) business days before the payment is due Landlord. Payments to Sublessor not linked to corresponding payments due from Sublessor, as tenant under the Prime Lease, to Landlord shall be made twenty-five (25) days after written demand therefor including reasonable back-up documentation with respect to the amount billed (including any corresponding bill and back-up provided by Landlord). Sublessor shall not be required to give notice to Sublessee of recurring items of Additional Rent which are due on the same day as Base Rent is payable and with respect to which Landlord is not required to bill Sublessor under the Prime Lease (such as monthly installments of Estimated Payments under Section 19.04B of the Prime Lease; it being agreed however, that such Estimated Payments shall utilize the Base Tax Amount and Base Operating Expenses as defined herein and that Sublessee shall have no obligation to make any Estimated Payments prior to the Rent Commencement Date).
For the purposes of this Sublease, “Sublessee’s Proportionate Share” shall mean the percentage calculated pursuant to Schedule 2 annexed hereto and as may be appropriately adjusted from time to time to reflect any increase or decrease in the rentable square footage of the Premises or Subleased Premises as determined pursuant to Schedule 3 hereof. The parties agree to make appropriate adjustments to any Additional Rent payable hereunder as a result of a change of Sublessee’s Proportionate Share in accordance with the terms hereof.
Sublessor shall not charge a separate premium, administrative or other charge to items of Additional Rent or other charges billed to Sublessee pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease or any of the provisions of the Prime Lease incorporated herein by reference over and above the charges imposed under the Prime Lease.
(c) Sublessee shall be entitled to receive Sublessee’s Proportionate Share of the amount of any refunds, if any, reflecting the adjustments referred to in this Section 3 received by Sublessor from Landlord on account of any overpayment or other reimbursement under the Prime Lease with respect to which Sublessee has paid Additional Rent to Sublessor under this Sublease net, subject to the provisions of the second paragraph of Section 13(b) hereof, of Sublessee’s Proportionate Share of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Sublessor to claim and collect such refund.

(d) Sublessee’s obligation to pay Additional Rent hereunder shall relate to the period from and after the Commencement Date to and including the Expiration Date; provided, however, no Additional Rent shall be due or payable in respect of (i) Operating Expenses prior to January 1, 2011, or (ii) Taxes prior to July 1, 2010 except on account of Estimated Payments related to payments due by Sublessee after such dates.
(e) All amounts payable by Sublessee to Sublessor pursuant to this Sublease including, without limitation, Base Rent and all items of Additional Rent specified in this Section 3 collectively, “Rent”), shall be deemed and constitute rent and, in the event of any non-payment thereof, Sublessor shall have all of the rights and remedies provided herein and in the Prime Lease, as incorporated herein, or in law or at equity for non-payment of rent.
(f) Any Rent due from Sublessee to Sublessor which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) in excess of the rate announced from time to time as the prime rate of JPMC (or any successor thereto) or (ii) the maximum rate allowable by law, from the due date until paid (the “Applicable Rate”).
(g) In the event Sublessor or Sublessee commences any action or proceeding under this Sublease, the successful party in the action shall be paid by the other party, in addition to any damages (but subject to the limitations in Section 11(b) hereof) to which the successful party is entitled, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the action including costs and reasonable expenses of attorneys, accountants and other consultants.
SECTION 4. Electrical Energy; Condenser Water. Sublessee shall have the use of six (6) watts per usable square foot, demand load, on all floors of the Subleased Premises exclusive of electricity serving the Building HVAC. Sublessor shall, at its sole cost and expense, install a submeter on each floor of the Subleased Premises to measure Sublessee’s electrical consumption which submeter shall be maintained by Sublessor at its sole cost and expense. Sublessee shall pay Sublessor, as Additional Rent hereunder, within twenty-five (25) days of demand therefor, including a copy of all bills or statements received by Landlord with respect thereto, the amounts payable by Sublessor to Landlord (or to the Public Utility or Alternate Energy Provider, as applicable) under Article 20 of the Prime Lease on account of electricity consumed in the Subleased Premises during the Term. Sublessor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (but without any obligation to incur any overtime or premium pay labor) to cause such submeters to be installed in the Subleased Premises by no later than the Anticipated Commencement Date. Until such time as Sublessor has caused submeters to measure the consumption of electrical energy to be installed in the Subleased Premises as aforesaid, Sublessee shall pay for electrical service on the “rent inclusion” basis provided in Section 20.03 of the Prime Lease with respect to those parts of the Subleased Premises which are not submetered (it being agreed that for the purposes of said Section 20.03, as incorporated herein, the term “Delivery Obligation” shall be deemed to mean the Commencement Date). Sublessee will receive and pay for three tons of condenser water for each floor in the Subleased Premises at $700/ton per annum increased proportionately to increases charged by the Board after December 31, 2009. Sublessee will also pay $1,500 per tap as a one time charge for any tap in addition to the existing tap.
SECTION 5. Use. Sublessee shall use and occupy the Subleased Premises for the Authorized Use, as such term is defined in Section 31.19 of the Prime Lease, and for no other purpose.

(e) During the Term of this Sublease, Sublessee and the Subleased Premises shall have the rights granted under the following Articles and Sections of the Prime Lease: the second sentence of Section 18.01B(i) (which grants certain rights to reallocate HVAC capacity within the Premises (which for purposes of the Sublease shall be deemed to refer solely to the capacity available to the Subleased Premises), as more specifically provided therein); and Section 18.08A and Section 18.08B (which grants certain rights to use the Tenant Vertical Conveyor Shaft, as more particularly provided therein, as to which Sublessee will have Sublessee’s Proportionate Share of Sublessor’s share as tenant under the Prime Lease of the Tenant Vertical Conveyor shaft).
(f) Sublessor and Sublessee hereby agree that, if the actions of Sublessee shall be in breach of the Condominium Documents then in effect with respect to the Subleased Premises, then the Board shall have the power to enforce against Sublessee the terms of such Condominium Documents to the extent the Board would be entitled to enforce the terms of such Condominium Documents against Landlord.
(g) Sublessor is entering into this Sublease in its capacity as assignee of JPMC’s interest as Tenant under the Prime Lease pursuant to an Assignment Agreement dated as of September 14, 2001 and nothing herein shall be binding on Sublessor in its capacity as a Unit Owner in the 1166 A of A Condominium (the “Condominium”) or as a party able to nominate a majority of the Board (“Control Person”). Where pursuant to the Prime Lease Sublessor is entitled to contest or dispute a statement or determination made by Landlord under the Prime Lease or to request the consent or approval of the Board of the Condominium (the “Board”), Sublessor shall exercise such right or make such request on Sublessee’s written request therefor in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (h) below. Any such action taken by Sublessor shall be deemed to have been taken in its capacity as Sublessor and shall not be binding on Sublessor in its capacity as Unit Owner or Control Person. Any approval or consent of Sublessor under this Sublease shall be in its capacity as Sublessor and not in its capacity as a Unit Owner or Control Person. The incorporation of the Prime Lease into this Sublease, including, without limitation, the incorporation of Sections 5.07, 13.06, 18.09 of the Prime Lease does not impose any obligation on Sublessor in its capacity as Unit Owner or Control Person.
(h) Sublessor will cooperate with Sublessee, at Sublessee’s request, in enforcing the Landlord’s responsibilities under the Prime Lease. Subject to the provisions of the second paragraph of Section 13(c) hereof, such enforcement shall be at Sublessee’s sole expense except to the extent that Sublessor has an interest in enforcing the same right with respect to other portions of the Premises and in its discretion joins in such enforcement.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Sublessee have any obligation whatsoever to perform (i) the covenants of Sublessor to pay the “Fixed Rent” and “Additional Rent” (as such terms are defined in the Prime Lease) or any other sums, late fees, interest and/or penalties payable by Sublessor to Landlord as a result of any default by Sublessor, as tenant under the Prime Lease (other than a default under the Prime Lease caused by or resulting from a default beyond any applicable notice or cure period by Sublessee under this Sublease). Sublessee shall not be liable for nor have any obligation with respect to any financial obligations of Sublessor in respect of the Subleased Premises accruing prior to the Commencement Date nor shall it have any obligation arising from the Excluded Provisions.

(a) The following Sections of the Prime Lease are incorporated herein with “Sublessor” being substituted for “Landlord”, “Sublessee” being substituted for “Tenant,” “Sublease” being substituted for “Lease”, “Subleased Premises” being substituted for “Demised Premises” and “Base Rent” being substituted for “Fixed Rent”: 10.01 except that in 10.01(d) “Westwood One Radio Networks, Inc.” shall be substituted for “Chase”; 10.02C; 10.02D; 10.03; 10.04B; 10.04C; 10.05; 10.06; 10.08; 10.09; 10.10A, 10.10B; 10.10C; 10.12; 10.13; 10.14; 10.15.
(b) Sublessee may sublet or permit occupancy of all or part of the Subleased Premises, or assign Sublessee’s entire interest in this Sublease and the leasehold estate hereby created, to a corporation or other business entity which directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, Sublessee (an “Affiliate”) without being required to obtain Sublessor’s prior consent thereto, provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) Sublessee shall furnish Sublessor, within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such transaction, with the name of such Affiliate together with a certification of Sublessee that such subsublessee or assignee is an Affiliate of Sublessee and (iii) the Affiliate uses the Subleased Premises for an Authorized Use. In connection with the information to be provided to Sublessor pursuant to this subsection, Sublessor shall have the right, at any reasonable time and from time to time, to request a certification of Sublessee and/or the Affiliate that such subsublessee remains an Affiliate of Sublessee. Such subletting or assignment shall not be deemed to vest in any such Affiliate any right or interest in this Sublease or the Subleased Premises (other than as a subsublessee or assignee), nor shall it relieve, release, impair or discharge any of Sublessee’s obligations hereunder. For the purposes of this section, the term “control” shall be deemed to mean ownership of at least fifty (50%) percent of all of the voting stock of such corporation, or at least fifty (50%) percent of all of the legal and equitable interest in any other business entity.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the subsection above, subject to Sublessee’s compliance with all of the requirements set forth in this subsection, Sublessee may sublet all or part of the Premises (consisting of at least a full floor) or assign or transfer Sublessee’s entire interest in this Sublease and the leasehold estate hereby created to a “Successor Entity” of Sublessee (as hereinafter defined), without being required to obtain Sublessor’s consent thereto, provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the proposed Successor Entity shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the State of New York, (iii) Sublessee shall furnish Sublessor, within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such transaction, with the name of such Successor Entity, together with a certification of Sublessee that such Sublessee or assignee is a Successor Entity of Sublessee, and (iv) either (i) the tangible net worth of the Successor Entity shall be at least equal to that of Sublessee as of the date of the proposed assignment or transfer, or (ii) such Successor Entity shall have creditworthiness otherwise reasonably acceptable to Sublessor. The term “Successor Entity” shall mean any of the following: (x) an entity into which or with which Sublessee shall be merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions for the merger or consolidation of business entities, provided that (whether by operation of law or by effective provisions contained in the instruments of merger or consolidation) the liabilities of Sublessee under this Sublease are assumed by the entity surviving such merger or consolidation; or (y) an entity acquiring and assuming this Sublease and the term hereof and the estate hereby granted, the goodwill and all or substantially all of the other property and assets of Sublessee; or (z) any successor to a Successor Entity becoming such by either of the methods described in clauses (x) and (y) above; provided that, in each case, such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition and assumption, as the case may be, shall be made for a good business purpose other than (and not principally for) the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby. In the case of a transfer of the direct or indirect interests in Sublessee, such transfer shall be deemed not to constitute a prohibited transfer of this Sublease if such transfer shall be made for a purpose other than (and not principally for) the purpose of transferring the leasehold estate created hereby. The Successor Entity must use the Subleased Premises only for an Authorized Use.
(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 8b above and Section 31.20 of the Prime Lease, Sublessee may assign Sublessee’s entire interest in this Sublease or subsublease all or any portion of the Subleased Premises, with the prior written consent of Sublessor which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned [but Sublessee acknowledges that the Board need not be reasonable about a subletting of a partial floor]; provided further that the following additional conditions (which shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the other terms, conditions and requirements set forth elsewhere in this section) shall be satisfied:
(i) The proposed assignee or sub-sublessee shall not: (a) be a school of any kind, or a placement agency or governmental or quasi-governmental agency, or a medical office or executive recruitment office, or any retail establishment with off-the-street traffic, or (b) be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and the proposed assignee or subsublessee shall be subject to service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the State of New York;

 

10


 

(ii) The subletting or assignment shall be to a person whose occupancy will not impose any material additional burden upon Sublessor in the operation of the Building, unless Sublessee agrees to reimburse Sublessor for any additional out-of-pocket cost incurred by Sublessor resulting from such additional burden;
(iii) The proposed assignee or sub-sublessee may only use the Subleased Premises for an Authorized Use; and
(iv) The proposed assignee or sub-sublessee is not an occupant or affiliate of an occupant in the Building units owned by the Sublessor or an entity or affiliate of an entity which has been in bona fide term sheet negotiations with Sublessor in the prior three months, and Sublessor has comparable available space similar in size, term and build-out to the portion of the Premises being offered by Sublessee.
(d) Except for sublettings and assignments permitted hereunder and pursuant to Section 10.02A, Section 10.02B and Section 10.16 of the Prime Lease, and subject to the terms of Section 31.20 of the Prime Lease, Sublessee may not assign or otherwise transfer this Sublease, or sublet (including permitting occupancy or use by another party) the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, without giving Sublessor thirty (30) days prior written notice of Sublessee’s intention to assign this Sublease or sublet all or any part of the Subleased Premises. In the event Sublessee seeks permission to sublease a part of the Subleased Premises, the notice shall also identify the area of the Subleased Premises Sublessee seeks to sublease. Sublessee’s notice shall identify the proposed effective date of the transaction. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of said notice of intent to assign or sublease, Sublessor shall have the option, except for those sublettings or assignments permitted in subsections (b) above, (i) to elect to terminate the Sublease, if Sublessee desires to assign this Sublease, or (ii) if Sublessee desires to sublet a portion of the Subleased Premises for all or substantially all of the remainder of the Sublease term, to terminate the Sublease with regard to that portion of the Subleased Premises which Sublessee seeks to sublet. Sublessor may exercise the option by giving Sublessee written notice of its election to exercise the option within said thirty (30) day period.
The effective date of termination shall be the date set forth in Sublessee’s notice. Upon termination, all of the rights and obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee under the terms of this Sublease shall be terminated, or terminated with regard to that portion of the Subleased Premises that Sublessee notified Sublessor that Sublessee desired to sublet, except that Sublessee shall continue to be obligated to pay rent and all other charges for the Subleased Premises which accrue to the date of termination.

 

11


 

If Sublessor does not exercise its option to terminate, Sublessee may assign this Sublease or sublet all or any part of the Subleased Premises within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date that the thirty (30) day period referenced above expires. Sublessee shall be required however to obtain Sublessor’s prior written consent to any assignee or any subsublessee, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, contingent upon the proposed assignee or subsublessee being similar in character to other sublessees in the Building and (as to an assignment or a sublease of all or substantially all of the Subleased Premises) financially reliable. In the event that Sublessee fails to present to Sublessor any sublease or assignment agreement, fully executed by the parties thereto, within said one hundred eighty (180) day period, Sublessee may not assign this Sublease or sublet the Subleased Premises without first affording Sublessor, by written notice stating Sublessee’s acknowledgement that it has failed to so present such agreement, the option to terminate or sublease as previously provided for in this section, except that Sublessor shall exercise the option by giving Sublessee written notice of its election to exercise the option within five (5) business days from receipt of Sublessee’s aforesaid notice. The process set forth in this subsection (d) shall continue until either (i) Sublessee presents Sublessor with an executed sublease or assignment or (ii) Sublessor exercises its recapture right.
(e) Sublessee shall reimburse to Sublessor, as Additional Rent, all actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, which Sublessor incurs by reason of or in connection with any assignment, sublease, proposed or granted by Sublessee (whether or not permitted under this Sublease, but not including a recapture of space pursuant to this Section), and all negotiations and actions with respect thereto, such Additional Rent to be due and payable within thirty (30) days of receipt of a statement of such costs and expenses from Sublessor.
(f) If any sublease, assignment or other transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise) provides that the subsublessee, assignee or other transferee is to pay any amount in excess of the sum of (i) the Rent due under this Sublease and (ii) the actual reasonable, out-of-pocket costs (including brokerage commissions, sublessee improvement allowances, marketing costs, attorney’s fees and construction costs) actually reasonably incurred and paid by Sublessee and free rent allowed by Sublessee to the assignee or sublessee to obtain the assignment or sublease, which amounts shall be amortized over the sublease or remaining Sublease Term, as applicable, then, whether such excess is in the form of an increased monthly or annual rental, a lump sum payment, payment for the sale, transfer or Sublease of Sublessee’s fixtures, leasehold improvements, furniture and other personal property, or any other form (and if the subleased or assigned space does not constitute the entire Subleased Premises, the existence of such excess shall be determined on a pro rata basis), Sublessee shall pay fifty percent (50%) of any such excess actually received by Sublessee from subsublessee to Sublessor as Additional Rent no later than ten (10) days after Sublessee’s receipt thereof. Sublessor shall have the right to inspect and audit Sublessee’s books and records relating to any sublease, assignment or other transfer upon reasonable prior written notice to Sublessee and upon the execution of a confidentiality agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Sublessee. Any reimbursement of security shall not be added to or considered as consideration received by Sublessee under this section. This section shall only apply to any sublease or assignment which requires Sublessor’s consent.

 

12


 

SECTION 9. Alterations and Improvements.
(a) Except as expressly set forth in this Section or with respect to Sublessee’s Initial Work contemplated by Section 21, or in the Prime Lease, Sublessee shall make no Alterations in or to the Subleased Premises, including removal or installation of partitions, doors, electrical installations, plumbing installations, water coolers, heating, ventilating and air-conditioning or cooling systems, units or parts thereof or other apparatus of like or other nature, whether structural or non-structural, without the prior written consent of Sublessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that Landlord gives any consent required of it. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, Sublessee shall have the right, on notice to Sublessor and without the consent of Sublessor: (i) to perform painting, installation of wall coverings and carpet installation, and any and all other decorating work that is to be performed entirely within the Subleased Premises; and (ii) to make nonstructural interior alterations, additions and improvements which require no building permit totaling less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in any single instance or series of related alterations performed within a six-month period. For the avoidance of doubt, minor decorative changes and additions such as the installation of art work and the installation of curtains and other like items (not readily visible from the common areas of the Building or from outside the Building) shall not require notice to the Sublessor or the consent of Sublessor or the Board. Sublessee agrees that, with respect to any proposed Alteration for which Sublessor’s consent is required, Sublessor may withhold consent (and Sublessor’s withholding of such consent shall be deemed reasonable) to the performance thereof, or to any plans and specifications prepared in connection therewith, but only if (a) an engineer reasonably selected by Sublessor and reasonably approved by Sublessee shall reasonably determine that the performance of such proposed Alteration or any of the plans and specifications prepared in connection therewith, as the case may be, are not consistent with good engineering practice, or (b) such proposed Alteration would have more than a de minimis adverse impact on any structural element of the Building or Building Systems. Within sixty (60) days following completion of an Alteration, Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor “as built” or “marked” drawings with respect to all Alterations performed by Sublessee that Sublessee shall have caused to be prepared.
(b) It shall be Sublessee’s responsibility and obligation to ensure that all Sublessee’s Alterations:
(i) shall be made at Sublessee’s own cost and expense (except to the extent funded by Sublessor’s contribution under Section 21 of this Sublease),
(ii) shall comply with all Legal Requirements (including NYC Local Laws No. 5 of 1973, No. 16 of 1984 and No. 58 of 1988, each as amended from time to time, and all Legal Requirements then in effect relating to access for the handicapped or disabled within the Subleased Premises) and all orders, rules and regulations of Insurance Boards, and
(iii) shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner using good quality materials. In order to ensure, maintain and control the quality and standards of materials and workmanship in and the effective security of the Building and the Commercial Condominium, including the Subleased Premises, Sublessee acknowledges that it is reasonable to require Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby covenants and agrees, to use only general contractors, construction managers and subcontractors (collectively, “Sublessee’s Contractors”) first approved in writing by Sublessor, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In addition, all Alterations affecting the Building’s HVAC system or its electrical or mechanical connections shall only be performed by Sublessee’s Contractors first approved by the Board.

 

13


 

All deliveries of construction materials must be made, at Sublessee’s expense, outside Business Hours.
(c) Prior to commencing the performance of any Alterations for which consent of Sublessor is required, Sublessee shall furnish to Sublessor, as applicable:
(i) Plans and specifications (to be prepared by a licensed architect or engineer engaged by Sublessee, at the cost and expense of Sublessee), in sufficient detail to be accepted for filing by the New York City Building Department (or any successor or other governmental agency serving a similar function), of such proposed Alterations, and Sublessee shall not commence the performance thereof unless and until Sublessor shall have given written consent to said plans and specifications, which consent Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, subject to the provisions of Subsection 5.01A of the Prime Lease, within the time periods set forth in Subsection 5.02D of the Prime Lease;
(ii) A certificate evidencing that Sublessee (or Sublessee’s Contractors) has (have) procured and paid for worker’s compensation insurance covering all persons employed in connection with the work who might assert claims for death or bodily injury against Landlord, Sublessor, the Board, Sublessee, the Land and/or the Building;
(iii) A certificate evidencing that Sublessee (or Sublessee’s Contractors) has (have) procured such additional personal injury and property damage insurance (over and above the insurance required to be carried by Sublessee pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.03 of the Prime Lease), and builders risk, fire and other casualty insurance as Sublessor or the Board may reasonably require in connection with the work to be done for Sublessee commensurate with that which prudent owners of other comparable buildings would require for comparable Alterations; and
(iv) Such permits, authorizations or consents as may be required by any applicable Legal Requirements, all of which shall be obtained at Sublessee’s cost and expense (except to the extent funded by Sublessor’s Contribution), provided, however, that (x) no plans, specifications or applications with respect to an Alteration shall be filed by Sublessee with any governmental authority without Sublessee first obtaining Sublessor’s written consent thereto, which consent Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay, and (y) if Sublessee shall so reasonably request in writing, Sublessor shall join and request Landlord to join in applications for any permits, approvals or certificates required to be obtained by Sublessee in order to perform any permitted Alterations and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Sublessee in connection therewith, provided that Sublessor shall not be required to incur any expense thereby (except if and to the extent that Sublessor shall be reimbursed therefor pursuant to the provisions of subsection (v) below), and that Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all liability and damages suffered by Sublessor in connection therewith, except if and to the extent that such liability and damages shall be caused by the negligence or wrongful acts of Sublessor or by the negligence of Sublessor’s agents, contractors or employees; it being agreed, however, that no negligence or wrongful acts shall be imputed to Sublessor or to Sublessor’s agents, contractors or employees for accepting all applications and related information submitted by Sublessee or by any person within Sublessee’s control as being factually correct and complete.

 

14


 

(v) In the event that Sublessor shall submit the plans and specifications with respect to an Alteration to outside architects and/or engineers hired by Sublessor to perform a review thereof, Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor as Additional Rent for Sublessor’s actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such review within thirty (30) days after written notice to Sublessee of the amount of any such expense, accompanied by documentation reasonably supporting such expense. Sublessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate Sublessor’s review of such plans and specifications with the Landlord’s and Board’s review thereof (to the extent applicable) so as to avoid duplication of the cost and timing of such review.
(vi) Sublessor shall reasonably cooperate with Sublessee in connection with any application Sublessee may wish to make for an amendment to the Certificate of Occupancy which is consistent with a primarily office occupancy of the Subleased Premises such as a public assembly use for a large conference room, and shall execute and deliver any applications, reports or related documents as may be reasonably requested by Sublessee in connection therewith, provided that the same shall be accomplished without Sublessor being required to incur any actual out-of-pocket cost or expense thereby. If such cooperation by Sublessor shall result in any actual out-of-pocket cost or expense to Sublessor (including reasonable attorney fees and disbursements), Sublessee shall nonetheless have the right to require Sublessor’s cooperation in connection therewith, provided that Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor for such actual out-of-pocket costs or expenses, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after demand therefor. Sublessee shall also indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all liability and damages suffered by Sublessor in connection therewith, except if and to the extent that such liability and damages shall be caused by the negligence of Sublessor or by the negligence of Sublessor’s agents or employees; it being agreed, however, that no negligence shall be imputed to Sublessor or to Sublessor’s agents or employees for accepting all applications and related information submitted by Sublessee or by any person within Sublessee’s control as being factually correct and complete. Sublessor makes no representation to Sublessee as to whether or when the New York City Building Department will issue any amended Certificate of Occupancy desired by Sublessee, and Sublessee agrees that (a) Sublessor shall have no obligation to ensure that the New York City Building Department does issue such an amended Certificate of Occupancy, and (b) Sublessor shall have no liability to Sublessee for any failure by the New York City Building Department to issue such an amended Certificate of Occupancy unless such failure is due to the negligence of Sublessor or its agents, employees or persons within the control of Sublessor.
(vii) Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of any plans and specifications proposed on behalf of Sublessor; provided, however, that Sublessor shall not be obligated to approve any such proposed plans and specifications until Sublessor shall have received all plans and specifications that are appropriate for the scope of work to which they relate. With respect to Sublessee’s Initial Work, Sublessor agrees to respond to Sublessee’s architectural drawings within 10 business days and will cause its engineers to respond to Sublessee’s engineering drawings within 10 business days if the drawings do not present any complex issues which differ materially from those presented by the Subleased Premises as presently improved. Sublessor will endeavor to shorten the said response periods and will instruct those doing the architectural and engineering review to give informal, non-binding reviews to incomplete submissions. Further, if Sublessee uses Sublessor’s approved engineers, the review period for engineering will be five (5) business days.

 

15


 

(viii) If the Board or Landlord shall have any rights to approve any plans and specifications submitted (or resubmitted) by Sublessee, Sublessor shall submit such plans and specifications to the Board or Landlord upon Sublessor’s receipt thereof, or, upon advising Sublessor thereof, Sublessee may submit such plans directly to the Board or Landlord. Sublessee accepts that some approvals and assistance contemplated under this Section will require approval or assistance by the Landlord or the Board which may be beyond Sublessor’s control.
(ix) Sublessee will pay Sublessor’s or the Board’s reasonably incurred third-party cost to supervise the cost of performing the Alterations.
(d) Sublessee shall not be obligated to remove any Alterations or Specialty Alterations existing in the Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date, and shall only be obligated to remove those Specialty Alterations installed by Subtenant during the Term which are so designated by Sublessor, in writing, to be removed; provided, however, that such written designation is requested and received by Subtenant prior to installation of any such Specialty Alterations in the Subleased Premises.
SECTION 10. Indemnification.
(a) Without limiting the generality of anything provided in this Sublease, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that by virtue of the incorporation of the Prime Lease pursuant to Section 6(b) of this Sublease, the rights and obligations set forth in Article 11 of the Prime Lease shall be binding on and applicable to Sublessee with respect to Sublessor, Landlord and the Board and shall be binding on and applicable to Sublessor with respect to Sublessee, Landlord and the Board. It is expressly understood that the rights and obligations of Sublessee and Sublessor set forth in this Section 10 are intended to be, and shall be, applicable only in connection with this Sublease, the Demised Premises and the Subleased Premises and shall not be applicable to Sublessee or Sublessor in any capacity other than as Sublessee and Sublessor, respectively, under this Sublease.
(b) Nothing contained in this Section 10 shall modify or affect the provisions of Section 11 below. Neither Sublessor nor Sublessee shall be liable for consequential damages under any provision of this Sublease.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall (i) Sublessee (or any Person claiming by, through or under Sublessee) make any claim against the direct or indirect shareholders, officers, directors, individuals, employees, partners or affiliates of Sublessor for any deficiency, nor shall any direct or indirect shareholders, officers, directors, individuals, employees, partners or affiliates of Sublessor or Landlord have or be subject to levy, attachment or other enforcement of a remedy sought by Sublessee or anyone claiming by, through or under Sublessee for any breach or claim hereunder or (ii) Sublessor (or any Person claiming by, through or under Sublessor) make any claim against the direct or indirect shareholders, officers, directors, individuals, employees, partners or affiliates of Sublessee for any deficiency, nor shall any direct or indirect shareholders, officers, directors, individuals, employees, partners or affiliates of Sublessee be subject to levy, attachment or other enforcement of a remedy sought by Sublessor or anyone claiming by, through or under Sublessor for any breach or claim hereunder.

 

16


 

SECTION 11. Insurance.
(a) Sublessee shall obtain and keep in full force and effect during the term of this Sublease at its own cost and expense insurance meeting all of the requirements of Article 8 of the Prime Lease protecting Landlord, Sublessor and the Board as additional insureds with respect to claims arising from Sublessee’s use and/or occupancy of the Subleased Premises or from the acts or omissions of those for whom in the circumstances Sublessee is responsible in law and shall waive claim against and procure waivers of subrogation against Sublessor, Landlord and the Board as therein provided. Sublessee shall pay all premiums and charges therefor and upon failure to do so Landlord or Sublessor, as the case may be, may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payments, and in such latter event Sublessee agrees to pay the amount thereof to Sublessor within ten (10) business days after demand and said sum shall be deemed to be Additional Rent and in each instance collectible on the first day of any month following the date of notice to Sublessee in the same manner as though it were Rent originally reserved hereunder.
(b) Commencing on the Commencement Date, the original insurance policies or appropriate certificates shall be deposited with Sublessor together with any renewals, replacements or endorsements to the end that said insurance shall be in full force and effect for the benefit of Landlord, the Board and Sublessor during the Term. In the event Sublessee shall fail to procure and place such insurance, Landlord or Sublessor may, but shall not be obligated to, procure and place same, in which event the amount of the premium paid shall be refunded by Sublessee to Sublessor or Landlord, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after demand and shall in each instance be collectible on the first day of the month or any subsequent month following the date of payment by Landlord or Sublessor, in the same manner as though said sums were Rent reserved hereunder.
SECTION 12. Destruction, Fire and other Casualty; Condemnation. If the whole or any part of the Subleased Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and the Prime Lease is not terminated on account thereof by either Landlord or Sublessor, Sublessor will cancel the Prime Lease or allow Sublessee to cancel this Sublease as to any full floor in the Subleased Premises as to which Sublessor would be entitled to terminate the Prime Lease if Sublessee exercises the right within 15 days after Sublessor delivers to Sublessee, without undue delay upon receipt from Landlord, a copy of the Contractor’s Estimate pursuant to Article 9 of the Prime Lease. As to any floor as to which the Sublease is not so cancelled this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect, provided, however, that (i) if and to the extent that Sublessor is entitled to an abatement of or credit against Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent under the Prime Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises comprising the Subleased Premises, Sublessee shall be entitled to a corresponding abatement of or credit against the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable under Section 3 of this Sublease. If the whole or any part of the Subleased Premises shall be lawfully condemned or taken in any manner for any public or quasi-public use and the Prime Lease is not terminated on account thereof by either Landlord or Sublessor pursuant to Article 12 thereof, this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect and Rent shall not abate except to the extent Sublessor is entitled to an abatement of or credit against Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent under the terms of the Prime Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises comprising the Subleased Premises.

 

17


 

SECTION 13. Sublessor’s Obligations.
(a) Sublessee agrees that, notwithstanding the incorporation by reference of terms of the Prime Lease which under Article 6 would impose duties on Sublessor, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, to the extent Landlord fails or refuses to perform its obligations or to provide services under the Prime Lease or the Board fails or refuses to perform its obligations or to provide services under the Condominium Documents, Sublessor shall not be obligated to perform such obligations and Sublessor shall have no liability or obligation with respect thereto. Sublessee agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, no failure or delay on the part of Landlord in the performance of any obligation under the Prime Lease, or failure or delay by the Board, to supply any service or to make any repairs or replacements or to take any other action with respect to the Subleased Premises or the Building shall give rise to any claim against Sublessor for damages or constitute a total or partial eviction, nor shall this Sublease or the obligations of the Sublessee hereunder to pay Rent hereunder and to perform and observe all of the other obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements on the part of Sublessee contained in this Sublease be thereby affected in any manner whatsoever, provided, however, that if and to the extent that Sublessor is entitled to an abatement of or credit against Fixed Rent and Recurring Additional Rent under Section 6.02 of the Prime Lease or any other provision of the Prime Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises comprising the Subleased Premises, Sublessee shall be entitled to a corresponding abatement of or credit against Base Rent and Additional Rent payable under this Sublease.
(b) Sublessor, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, shall not be obligated to perform and shall not be liable for the performance by Landlord of any of the obligations of Landlord under the Prime Lease or obligations of the Board under the Condominium Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sublessor makes no representation and is not obligated to perform Landlord’s obligations with respect to hazardous materials under Article 7 of the Prime Lease (excluding the obligation to deliver an ACP-5 certificate in accordance with Section 7 of this Sublease) except to the extent that Sublessor caused or permitted hazardous materials to be brought in the Building. Sublessee, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, shall have no claim against Sublessor by reason of any default upon the part of Landlord or the Board and, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize Sublessee to represent Sublessor in connection with any suit or claim by or against Landlord or the Board except as herein specifically set forth.

 

18


 

(c) Sublessor, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, shall have no obligation during the term of this Sublease to render any services to Sublessee in or to the Subleased Premises of any nature whatsoever or to expend any money for the preservation or repair of the Subleased Premises. Sublessee, except as expressly provided in this Sublease, agrees to look solely to Landlord for the furnishing of any services to which Sublessor may be entitled under the Prime Lease and solely to the Board for the furnishing of any services to which Sublessor may be entitled under the Condominium Documents. Sublessor agrees to cooperate with Sublessee, and to use its reasonable efforts and diligently pursue, without, however, incurring any liabilities or expenses not otherwise provided for in the Prime Lease or this Sublease, by taking whatever action shall be reasonably required, to enforce for the benefit of Sublessee the obligations of Landlord to Sublessor under the Lease, or the Board under the Condominium Documents, insofar as they relate to the Subleased Premises. Subject to the provisions of the next paragraph, all out-of-pocket expenses of Sublessor (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) arising from Sublessor’s action taken pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be reimbursed by Sublessee within thirty (30) days after demand, together with reasonable back-up documentation with respect thereto. Sublessor, without cost to Sublessor, shall communicate with Landlord or the Board, orally or in writing, concerning matters related to the Subleased Premises as Sublessee may from time to time reasonably request and shall (y) diligently pursue such matter (to the extent permitted hereunder) and (x) keep Sublessee reasonably advised on the progress of such matters.
If, after written request from Sublessee, Sublessor shall fail or refuse to take appropriate action for the enforcement of Sublessor’s rights against Landlord with respect to the Subleased Premises, Sublessee shall have the right to take such action in its own name, and for such purpose and only to such extent, all of the rights of Sublessor under the Prime Lease are hereby conferred upon and conditionally assigned to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby is subrogated to such rights to the extent that the same shall apply to the Subleased Premises; provided, however, that (i) Sublessee shall only have such rights if Sublessee shall not be in default under this Sublease beyond any applicable notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, and (ii) Sublessor shall have the right to require Sublessee to discontinue such action if in the reasonable opinion of Sublessor such action may cause a cancellation, forfeiture or termination of the Prime Lease or Sublessor’s estate and rights thereunder with respect to the Subleased Premises. If any such action against Sublessor in Sublessee’s name shall be barred by reason of lack of privity, non-assignability or otherwise, Sublessee may take such action in Sublessor’s name provided that copies of all papers and notices of all proceedings shall be promptly given to Sublessor so that Sublessor may be kept fully informed in respect thereof at all times. In connection with the foregoing, Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, damage, expense or liability (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Sublessor by reason of any action by Sublessee against Landlord, such indemnity shall survive the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Sublease.
Any recovery (net of the costs of obtaining such recovery apportioned as described below) obtained against Landlord in connection with a default under the Prime Lease, or any abatement, credit, set-off or offset (collectively referred to herein as a “Recovery”), to the extent it relates to an obligation of Landlord which is, by the provisions of this Sublease, intended to benefit Sublessee and/or the Subleased Premises, during or after the Term, shall be the property of Sublessee and Sublessee shall have the right to any such Recovery. To the extent that Sublessor or Sublessee, as the case may be, shall receive any benefit from a Recovery, Sublessee shall pay a percentage of the cost incurred in connection with obtaining such Recovery in an amount equal to the product of (i) the total costs incurred in obtaining the Recovery and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the amount of the Recovery benefiting each party and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of the Recovery benefiting Sublessor and the Recovery benefiting Sublessee. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

(d) If Sublessee shall require heat, ventilation and air-conditioning service during HVAC Overtime Periods, the written notice required under Section 18.0l(B)(vi) of the Prime Lease for such service shall be given by Sublessee to Sublessor: (a) prior to 1:00 p.m. of the same Business Day, in the case of service during HVAC Overtime Periods on Business Days; (b) prior to 10:00 a.m. on the immediately preceding Friday, in the case of service during HVAC Overtime Periods on Saturday or Sunday; and (c) prior to 10:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding a Holiday, in the case of service during HVAC Overtime Periods on a Holiday. Sublessee will pay $650 per hour per floor for HVAC Overtime Periods, such charge to increase in proportion to the Board’s charge increases after December 31, 2009. Sublessor shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate Subtenant’s requests for such service during the HVAC Overtime Periods when such requests fall outside of the foregoing deadlines. If Landlord shall consent in writing, Sublessee shall be entitled to request the foregoing HVAC service directly from the Board (subject to the time periods for such requests set forth in the Prime Lease). If Sublessee shall require freight elevator, loading dock and/or truck elevator service during Overtime Periods, Sublessee shall request such service directly from the Board. Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor for any amounts charged to Sublessor by Landlord and/or the Board in connection with the provision of the services identified in this subparagraph (d), and Sublessor shall not add a mark-up or administrative fee or other charge to amounts so charged by Landlord and/or the Board.
(e) The parties acknowledge that Sublessor has elected under Section 18.01 of the Prime Lease that Landlord not clean the Premises and Sublessor shall provide cleaning services to the Subleased Premises by Sublessor’s cleaning service contractor during any Self-Cleaning Period (as such term is defined in the Lease), such cleaning service to be provided in accordance with the terms of Schedule 5 hereto. In the event that Sublessor elects that Landlord resume furnishing cleaning services to the Subleased Premises (which election shall be made in Sublessor’s sole discretion), Sublessor shall give written notice to Sublessee at the time of such election.
(f) (i) Sublessor agrees that prior to the Expiration Date it shall not (A) surrender or terminate the Prime Lease, except after casualty or condemnation as provided therein nor shall Sublessor amend or modify the Prime Lease, or waive any provision of the Prime Lease or (B) consent (where Sublessor’s consent or approval (in its capacity as Sublessor and not a Control Person) is required) to any amendment, modification or waiver of any of the provisions of the Prime Lease, the Condominium Documents, the Declaration or any other instrument to which this Sublease is subject to, in each instance, in any manner that could increase the obligations of Sublessee hereunder or could adversely affect the rights or benefits of Sublessee hereunder, without obtaining in each case Sublessee’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

20


 

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Sublessor desires to enter into a “lease buyout agreement” or similar arrangement with Landlord prior to the Expiration Date, and provided that such agreement with Landlord expressly provides that as a condition to such surrender and/or termination Landlord shall accept Sublessee as a direct tenant of Landlord with respect to the entire Subleased Premises pursuant to a new lease on the same executory terms and conditions as are set forth in this Sublease, then Sublessor shall have the right to terminate and/or surrender the Prime Lease. From and after the date of such termination and/or surrender and the acceptance by Landlord of Sublessee as a direct tenant of Landlord, Sublessor and Sublessee shall have no further obligations or liability hereunder except with respect to those provisions of this Sublease that by their terms survive the Expiration Date hereof.
(g) No limitation on Sublessor’s obligations or liability set forth in this Section 13 relating to a failure or refusal by Landlord to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease or to a failure or refusal by the Board to perform its obligations under the Condominium Documents shall be effective if such failure or refusal by Landlord or the Board, as applicable, is the result of either (i) Sublessor’s failure to enforce for the benefit of Sublessee the obligations of Landlord to Sublessor under the Prime Lease, or the obligations of the Board under the Condominium Documents, as applicable, as required under subsection (c) above, or (ii) Sublessor’s default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) under the Prime Lease or the Condominium Documents, as applicable, where such default is not the result of Sublessee’s default under this Sublease. In furtherance of the foregoing, Sublessor agrees to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease and Condominium Documents except to the extent its failure to perform is due to a default by Sublessee beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period under this Sublease.
SECTION 14. Notices. Any notice required or desired to be given to any party hereto shall be given in writing and by hand delivery (provided a signed receipt therefor has been obtained) or by nationally recognized overnight courier or by certified mail, return receipt requested, and shall be addressed to the parties hereto at their addresses as set forth below or to such other address as any party may designate by written notice to the other party:

SECTION 18. Broker. Sublessee represents and warrants that it has not hired, retained or dealt with any finder, consultant, broker, firm or salesman in connection with this Sublease other than CB Richard Ellis, Inc. and Cushman & Wakefield (“Brokers”). Sublessee shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all claims for brokerage fees or other commissions or fees which may at any time be asserted against the Sublessor founded upon a claim that the aforesaid representation and warranty of Sublessee is untrue, together with any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) relating to such claims or arising therefrom or incurred by Sublessor in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification provision except that Sublessee shall have no obligation to indemnify Sublessor on account of any claim made by the Brokers.
Sublessor represents and warrants that it has not hired, retained or dealt with any finder, consultant, broker, firm or salesman in connection with this Sublease, other than the Brokers. Sublessor shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublessee harmless from and against any and all claims for brokerage fees or other commissions or fees which may at any time be asserted against the Sublessee founded upon a claim that the aforesaid representation and warranty of Sublessor is untrue, together with any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) relating to such claims or arising therefrom or incurred by Sublessee in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification provision.
SECTION 19. Consents. In all provisions of the Prime Lease requiring the approval or consent of Landlord, or in the Condominium Documents requiring the approval or consent of the Board, Sublessee shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of Landlord and the Board, as applicable, and, except as otherwise provided herein Sublessor. Sublessor’s refusal to consent to or approve any matter or thing whenever Sublessor’s consent or approval is required under this Sublease or under the Prime Lease as incorporated herein (including, without limitation, any consent of Landlord required in connection with any Alterations that may be proposed by Sublessee) shall be deemed reasonable if Landlord has refused or failed to give its consent or approval to such matter or thing (to the extent such consent or approval is required) and is not deemed to have consented thereto under the terms of the Prime Lease, or the Board has refused or failed to give its consent or approval under the Condominium Documents, provided that Sublessor shall have in good faith requested such consent or approval from Landlord, or the Board, as the case may be, within a reasonable period of time after receiving Sublessee’s request, and provided further that if the Landlord’s consent or approval has been given, Sublessor’s consent or approval shall be deemed given in its capacity as Sublessor and not as Control Person and not separately required. Wherever possible, Sublessor shall coordinate the review of any such request by Sublessee for approval or consent with any review of such request by Landlord required under the Prime Lease and/or any review of such request by the Board required under the Condominium Documents, so as to minimize and avoid duplication of the cost and timing of such reviews. Sublessor agrees to diligently pursue any request for approval or consent hereunder in good faith.
To the extent Sublessor has the right to arbitrate the reasonableness of Landlord’s denial of consent under Section 11.05 of the Prime Lease, or under an SNDA that Sublessor has the benefit of with respect to the Board, Sublessor shall promptly exercise such right on the request of Sublessee and diligently pursue the same in the event of a denial of consent by Landlord or the Board, as the case may be. All out-of-pocket expenses of Sublessor (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and disbursements) arising from Sublessor’s action taken pursuant to the preceding sentence, shall be reimbursed by Sublessee to Sublessor within twenty five (25) days of demand.

 

23


 

Sublessor, as Tenant under the Prime Lease but not as Control Person, and Sublessee agree to act in a commercially reasonable manner in giving or withholding consents or expressions of approval required of them hereunder.
SECTION 20. Time Limits. The parties agree that the time limits set forth in the Prime Lease for the giving of notices, making demands, performance of any act, condition or covenant, or the exercise of any right, remedy or option, are modified for the purposes of this Sublease by lengthening or shortening the same in each instance by three (3) Business Days (or in the case of time limits of three (3) Business Days or less, by shortening the same by one (1) Business Day), as the case may be, so that notices may be given, demands made, any act, condition or covenant performed, and any right or remedy hereunder exercised, by Sublessor or Sublessee, as the case may be, within the time limits relating thereto contained in the Prime Lease, provided in no event shall the foregoing calculation result in shorting of a period of time for Sublessee to act such that it is less than one (1) Business Day. Sublessee shall, not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof, furnish to Sublessor a copy of each notice, demand or other written communication received from Landlord or the Board which relates to the Subleased Premises or any other portion of the Building and Sublessor shall, not later than three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof, furnish to Sublessee a copy of each notice, demand or other written communication received from Landlord or the Board which relates to the Subleased Premises. The notification period of one (1) year between Landlord and Sublessor as tenant in Section 5.02C(i) of the Prime Lease shall be reduced to nine (9) months vis-à-vis Sublessor’s notification to Sublessee.
SECTION 21. Allowance.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Sublessor agrees to provide a construction allowance (“Sublessor’s Contribution”) to reimburse Sublessee for a portion of the cost expended by Sublessee to perform Sublessee’s Initial Work to prepare the Subleased Premises for its occupancy, in an aggregate amount of One Million Seven Hundred Fifty-eight Thousand Three Hundred Seventy-five ($1,758,375.00) DOLLARS. Sublessee shall have the right to use Sublessor’s Contribution either in part or in its entirety for any portion of the Subleased Premises. Sublessor shall fund Sublessor’s Contribution requisitioned in the manner set forth in Subsections 21(b) and 21(c) below, but only if all of the following conditions shall have been satisfied in all material respects:
(i) An Event of Default shall not have occurred as of the date of Sublessee’s request for payment; and
(ii) Sublessee shall have delivered to Sublessor a completed requisition for payment certified by Sublessee or Sublessee’s architect stating or accompanied by: (a) the amount being requested, (b) either (x) invoices then due and payable in connection with the design and construction of the Subleased Premises as part of Sublessee’s Initial Work that relate to such requisition, or (y) a statement from Sublessee that Sublessee has paid such invoices, (c) that the work to which such requisition relates has been performed in good and workmanlike manner substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications therefore and in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (d) with respect to all requisitions made by Sublessee subsequent to the first requisition made by Sublessee pursuant to this subdivision 21(a)(ii), either (1) receipted invoices for all labor and materials that were the subject of the immediately preceding requisition, or (2) a statement from Sublessee that such invoices were paid.

 

24


 

(b) Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor Sublessor’s actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with the review and approval of any plans or construction documents for Sublessee’s Initial Work and Sublessor may deduct from any pay-out amount of Sublessor’s Contribution showing reasonable evidence of such costs.
(i) Provided that Sublessee shall have complied with all of the conditions set forth in the foregoing Subsection 21(a), Sublessor shall in accordance with the provisions of subsection 21(b)(ii) below, either (a) within ten (10) Business Days deliver to Sublessee a written notice that Sublessor disputes Sublessee’s right to be paid all or a portion of the requisitioned amount (“Sublessor’s Requisition Dispute Notice”), which Sublessor’s Requisition Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the reasons for such dispute and the amount in dispute, or (b) pay to Sublessee (or, at Sublessee’s express written direction, but subject to the provisions of Subsection 21(d) below, directly to Sublessee’s general contractor) the requisitioned amount (or the undisputed portion of the requisitioned amount), provided, however, that (x) the aggregate of all such payments by Sublessor shall not exceed the amount of Sublessor’s Contribution, and (y) Sublessor shall not be required to make more than one (1) payment per calendar month and (z) if Sublessor shall reasonably so require, the disbursements required to be made by Sublessor pursuant to this Section 21 shall be subject to a retention ten (10%) percent (but in no event an amount greater than $100,000) until Sublessee’s Initial Work shall have been finally and fully completed and lien waivers delivered.
(ii) If Sublessee shall deliver the requisition for payment required by subdivision 21(a)(ii) above, then, unless, within ten (10) days thereafter, Sublessor shall have delivered a Sublessor’s Requisition Dispute Notice to Sublessee, Sublessor shall pay to Sublessee the requisitioned amount (or undisputed portion thereof) not more than thirty (30) days immediately following Sublessee’s delivery of such requisition for payment to Sublessor.
(c) Sublessee shall have the right to use Sublessor’s Contribution, in such manner as Sublessee shall solely determine, for the design and construction of the Subleased Premises including, without limitation, demolition, cabling and wiring work, and the purchase and installation of furnishings, fixtures and equipment; provided, however, that any portion of Sublessor’s Contribution that is not used for reimbursement of Sublessee’s actually incurred costs in connection with Sublessee’s Initial Work or any of the other foregoing costs may be applied toward Base Rent or Additional Rent under this Sublease, in Sublessee’s discretion, once the Initial Work has been completed and lien waivers delivered.

 

25


 

(d) At the written direction of Sublessee and provided that Sublessee shall have complied with all of the provisions of this Section 21 related to a request for payment of a portion or portions of Sublessor’s Contribution, Sublessor shall pay such portion or portions of Sublessor’s Contribution directly to Sublessee’s general contractor, provided that: (i) such contractor acknowledges in writing to Sublessor in advance of such payment that (x) such contractor has no agreement or privity of contract with Sublessor, (y) Sublessor’s only obligation for payment of Sublessor’s Contribution is to Sublessee, and that such contractor is not a third party beneficiary under this Lease, and (z) such contractor provides Sublessor with a general release and waiver of liability in connection with such payment, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor; and (ii) Sublessee indemnifies and holds Sublessor harmless from and against any claims, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Sublessor as a result of such general contractor or any other subcontractors making a claim against Sublessor because Sublessor has agreed to pay a portion or portions of Sublessor’s Contribution directly to such general contractor.
(e) If Sublessor shall deliver to Sublessee a Sublessor’s Requisition Dispute Notice, then Sublessee shall have the right to submit such dispute to expedited arbitration, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, to determine whether Sublessee’s claim of an alleged Sublessor default in connection with the payment of such portion of Sublessor’s Contribution is valid. If Sublessee shall prevail in such arbitration proceeding, or if Sublessor shall fail to timely deliver a Sublessor’s Requisition Dispute Notice with respect to all or any portion of the installment of Sublessor’s Contribution requested and fail to timely pay to Sublessee all or any portion of the installment of Sublessor’s Contribution then due, then Sublessee shall have the right to offset against the next installment of Base Rent and Additional Rent an amount equal to such portion of Sublessor’s Contribution which Sublessor failed to pay to Sublessee, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date that Sublessor was first obligated to disburse said portion of Sublessor’s Contribution until the date that the same shall be fully paid or offset; provided, however, that, in the case of all disputed amounts, Sublessee shall in no event have the right to apply such offset during the first ten (10) Business Days following the rendering of the arbitrator’s decision, and such offset right shall only be available to Sublessee if Sublessor shall not have made the required payment to Sublessee prior to the expiration of said ten (10) Business Day period, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate from the date that said installment first came due until the date that the same is fully paid.
SECTION 22. Security. Simultaneously herewith Sublessee has delivered to Sublessor the guaranty of Westwood One, Inc. in the form of Exhibit C hereto and by 5:00 p.m. January 11, 2010 will deliver to Sublessor a letter of credit in the form of Exhibit D hereto (“L/C”). If the L/C is not delivered to Sublessor by 5:00 p.m. on January 11, 2010 (or cash in lieu thereof), that will be an automatic default by Sublessee under the Sublease requiring no notice of default from Sublessor and, in addition to all other remedies Sublessor may have in law or in equity, Sublessor shall have the right to exclude Sublessee and all of Sublessee’s Contractors and subcontractors from the Building and that Sublessor’s direct damages incurred by reason of such default shall include restoration of the Subleased Premises to the condition thereof before Sublessee was given early occupancy. Sublessee may not requisition any portion of the Sublessor’s Contribution until the LC has been delivered. If Sublessee has not theretofore defaulted under this Sublease beyond any applicable grace period with respect to any material covenant (e.g., without limitation, non-payment of obligations in excess of $10,000 in the aggregate, an unapproved assignment, subletting or alteration or an act or omission which exposes Landlord to claims under Regulations or from third parties), Sublessor will consent to the reduction of the amount of the L/C to $500,000 on October 1, 2015.

 

26


 

SECTION 23. Sublease Conditional. Sublessee and Sublessor acknowledge and agree that this Sublease is expressly conditioned upon the unconditional execution and delivery of the prior written consent of the Board to this Sublease in the form of the Board Consent attached hereto as Exhibit B. When this condition has been met, Sublessee will be granted access to the Subleased Premises to commence Alterations.
SECTION 24. Miscellaneous. (a) Sublessor and Sublessee each represents and warrants to the other that the execution, delivery and performance by such party of this Sublease are within its powers, have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not contravene such party’s organizational documents.
(b) Submission of this Sublease for examination shall not bind Sublessor in any manner nor be construed as an offer to sublease, and no agreement or obligations of Sublessor shall arise until this Sublease is executed by both Sublessor and Sublessee and delivery is made to each of them, and each of the agreements referred to in Section 23 above, have been unconditionally executed and delivered.
(c) This Sublease may be executed in counterparts, any one of which or all of which shall be deemed one and the same Agreement.
(d) The use of the phrase herein “except as may be expressly provided herein” and other similar references should be deemed to include “and the provisions of the Prime Lease incorporated herein by reference, as modified.”
(e) Sublessee will be entitled to its proportionate share of directory listings. Sublessee shall also be permitted to install appropriate signage and corporate logo on any full floor it occupies in the Building.
(f) Attached hereto as Schedule 4 is a list of furniture now situated on the 22nd floor of the Building which Sublessee may relocate to the Subleased Premises after March 15, 2010 but before March 30, 2010 at Sublessee’s expense.
(g) At the Expiration Date, Sublessee will not own and shall have no obligation to remove any of Sublessor’s furniture then in the Subleased Premises.
(h) Sublessee will be entitled to its proportionate share of available space in any vertical easement or shaft areas within the Building.

 

27


 

SECTION 25. Additional Sublessor Representations and Covenants. Sublessor represents and covenants to Sublessee as follows:
(a) A true, accurate and redacted copy of (i) the Prime Lease and any amendments thereto, and (ii) the Condominium Documents and any amendments thereto including any consent referenced herein have been delivered to Sublessor by or on behalf of Sublessee and a list of such items set forth on Exhibit A are true, correct and complete. Sublessee acknowledges receipt of copies of such items set forth on Exhibit A.
(b) As of the date hereof, Sublessor has received no notice from Landlord with regard to the existence of any default under the Prime Lease which has not been cured.
(c) To the best of Sublessor’s knowledge (without having made a specific inquiry), Landlord is not in default of any obligation under the Prime Lease.
(d) No work has been performed in the Subleased Premises for or on behalf of Sublessor which has not been paid for and/or which could give rise to a mechanic’s or materialman’s lien, or if such work has been performed, Sublessor shall be responsible for amounts owed and any liens that may result therefrom.
(e) The Sublessor has not mortgaged its interest in the Prime Lease.
(f) In the event the Landlord places any superior mortgage or other encumbrance against the Building, Sublessor shall obtain a non-disturbance agreement from any such mortgagee or encumbrancer on commercially reasonable terms, and shall provide a copy thereof to Sublessee.
(g) The Prime Lease Expiration Date is December 31, 2020.
