purpose or purposes that Subtenant, in Subtenant’s sole
discretion, shall deem suitable or
4
appropriate and shall be on such terms and at
such rental rates as Subtenant, in Subtenant’s sole
discretion, shall deem appropriate (it being acknowledged and
agreed by Sublandlord that Subtenant shall have the right to
further lease the Premises to a third party for a term that extends
beyond the Sublease Expiration Date and, in such event, any
continued occupancy of the Premises by such third party beyond

deemed a holdover or other default under this Sublease, and
Sublandlord hereby consents to such continued occupancy without any
charge to such third party). In no event shall Sublandlord be
entitled to any consideration or payment from Subtenant (or from
any assignee or further tenant of Subtenant) in connection with any
assignment of this Sublease or further leasing of the Premises,
including, without the limitation, payment of any portion of any
profits realized by Subtenant or by any assignee or further tenant
of the Premises in connection therewith.
2.2

enter into a further lease with a tenant covering the Premises or a
portion thereof, upon Subtenant’s request, Sublandlord shall
enter into a non-disturbance agreement (a “
Non-Disturbance Agreement ”) with such tenant in the
form annexed hereto as Exhibit C, agreeing to recognize such
tenant under the provisions set forth in such Non-Disturbance
Agreement (provided however that, except in connection with the
Non-Disturbance Agreement to be entered into with Cleary (as
hereinafter defined), (x) such Non-Disturbance Agreement shall
be modified as appropriate to replace the references to Cleary with
references to such tenant and (y) the provisions of paragraphs
5, 6 and 7 and Exhibit A of such form of Non-Disturbance
Agreement shall be deleted or modified if not applicable).
Sublandlord shall execute any such Non-Disturbance Agreement and
deliver same to Subtenant and such tenant concurrently with the
execution of such lease by Subtenant and such tenant.
Sublandlord shall make such modifications to any such
Non-Disturbance Agreement as such tenant may
5
reasonably request, provided that such
modifications do not materially decrease any rights or benefits or
materially increase any obligations of Sublandlord hereunder.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sublandlord
hereby acknowledges that Subtenant is concurrently herewith
entering into an agreement with Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen &
Hamilton LLP (“ Cleary ”) pursuant to which
Subtenant shall lease the Premises to Cleary for a term commencing
on or immediately following the Sublease Commencement Date (such
agreement being hereinafter called the “ Cleary

Non-Disturbance Agreement and deliver same to Subtenant and Cleary
concurrently with the execution of the Cleary Agreement by
Subtenant and Cleary (such Non-Disturbance Agreement being
hereinafter called the “ Cleary Non-Disturbance
Agreement ”).

by such recipient bank or banks on the day of receipt of advice
that such funds have been wire transferred; and

estimate of such market rental value) over (B) the Fixed Rent
payable by Sublandlord (as Tenant under the Overlease) with respect
to the Premises under the Overlease for the same period.
