In the interest of energy conservation, we discourage overtime operation of HVAC systems. However, if you need to operate on any of the above dates, please provide us with a 48-hour advance written notice.

6. ENERGY CONSERVATION The single largest area that you, as a Tenant, can assist in reducing building operating costs is through energy conservation. Please make a special effort to educate your employees about the importance of using energy wisely.There are several ways in which your employees can positively impact energy costs:

Lights should be turned off when not in use. (lunch room, empty office, conference rooms, storage and file rooms, etc.)

Keep decorative lighting off whenever possible and practical.

Consider use of task lighting instead of overhead lights.

Employees should be reminded to turn off all lights, computers, etc. when not in use or before leaving for the day.

7. JANITORIAL SERVICESGood housekeeping is of utmost importance in our building operations. We meet

regularly with the janitorial contractor which services our Park to discuss performance and to address areas where improvement may be required. The building staff also makes regular inspections in an effort to maintain satisfactory service.

Below you will find a schedule of the minimum standards of cleaning services covered by the janitorial contract. This list is not the full specification, only a guideline (please refer to your lease for full details). Should there be any problem, please call the Management Office immediately for corrective action. It would be appreciated if your staff would notify us immediately if there are any spills on the floors and the nature of the substance spilled. Quick attention makes a big difference.

Please note that the cleaners will not move papers or other materials on surfaces to be cleaned, dusted or vacuumed. Trash not in wastebaskets must be clearly marked "trash/basura". Cleaning of private kitchens and baths or other special areas not customarily found in office spaces is the responsibility of the Tenant.

Janitorial services required by the Tenant but not provided by the building can be arranged with the janitorial contractor at the Tenant's cost. These services include special floor treatment, carpet cleaning. If interested in

6 / Insurance Requirements

1. TENANT INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

The Tenant should read the Lease to determine the exact requirements for insurance. Evidence of compliance with this portion of the Lease, in the form of Certificates of Insurance, must be submitted prior to the move-in. The Tenant is required to keep an accurate Certificate of Insurance on file at the Management Office at all times. In order to ensure accuracy, we recommend submitting to your insurance carrier a copy of the sections of your Lease pertaining to insurance.

Generally, the Tenant insurance requirements are as follows:

A. The Tenant is required to carry adequate commercial liability insurance, property

insurance and Workman's Compensation insurance. The amounts stipulated in the

Lease are dependent on the Tenant's size and intended use of the premises.

B. The amounts generally required are: General Liability: $2 Million

(but in no event less than the cost of furniture, fixtures

and improvements in the premises)

The Certificate shall name Forest City Commercial Management, Inc., Gramercy Warehouse Funding II LLC, its successors, assigns and participants, as their respective interests may appear, as first mortgagee, Forest City Enterprises, Inc., Forest City Commercial Group, Inc. and Forest City Commercial Management, Inc.

It should describe the premises location and should name the same insured party as listed on the Lease. The Certificate shall provide for a minimum of 30 days notice in the event of cancellation or termination of coverage.

D. The Tenant is liable for any changes caused to the building by its invitees, guests or

contractors, including its moving company. For the mutual protection of the Tenant and the

Building, the Management Office requires that all delivery agents, movers and contractors

performing work within the Tenant's premises submit. Certificates of Insurance to Forest City prior to the

performance of any work in the Building. Such Certificate shall meet the minimum

requirements stipulated above for the Tenant's coverage.

E. In addition to the requirement listed above, we recommend that the Tenant require the delivery

agent, mover or contractor to also list the Tenant as an additional insured. This will protect the Tenant in the event that damage

occurs to its property. In the event that damage occurs to the Building, Forest City will pursue reimbursement through the vendor's insurance company. If complete

for any uncovered damage from the Tenant's insurance company.
