claim of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), or such other amount as the
Landlord may reasonably require upon not less than six months notice at any time during
the Term, which insurance shall include the Landlord as a named insured and shall

insured; and
(b) insurance against such other perils and in such amounts as the Landlord may from time to
time reasonably require upon not less than 90 days written notice, such requirement to be
made on the basis that the required insurance is customary at the time for prudent tenants
of similar properties.
All insurance required to be maintained by the Tenant hereunder shall be on terms and with
insurers to which the Landlord has no reasonable objection. Each policy shall contain a waiver by
the insurer of any rights of subrogation or indemnity or any other claim over to which the insurer
might otherwise be entitled against the Landlord or the agents or employees of the Landlord, and
shall also contain an undertaking by the insurer that no material change adverse to the Landlord
or the Tenant will be made, and the policy will not lapse or be cancelled, except after not less
than thirty days written notice to the Landlord of the intended change, lapse or cancellation. The
Tenant shall furnish to the Landlord, if and whenever requested by it, certificates or other
evidences acceptable to the Landlord as to the insurance from time to time effected by the Tenant
and its renewal or continuation in force, together with evidence as to the method of determination
of full replacement cost of the Tenant's Leasehold Improvements, trade fixtures, furniture and
equipment, and if the Landlord reasonably concludes that the full replacement cost has been
underestimated, the Tenant shall forthwith arrange for any consequent increase in coverage
required hereunder. If the Tenant shall fail to take out, renew and keep in force such insurance, or
if the evidences submitted to the Landlord pursuant to the preceding sentence are unacceptable to
the Landlord or no such evidences are submitted within a reasonable period after request therefor
by the Landlord, then the Landlord may give to the Tenant written notice requiring compliance
4
with this section and specifying the respects in which the Tenant is not then in compliance with
this section. If the Tenant does not, within 72 hours or such lesser period as the Landlord may
reasonably require having regard to the urgency of the situation, provide appropriate evidence of
compliance with this section, the Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain some or all
of the additional coverage or other insurance which the Tenant shall have failed to obtain,
without prejudice to any other rights of the Landlord under this Lease or otherwise, and the
Tenant shall pay all premiums and other expenses incurred by the Landlord in that connection as
additional rent pursuant to section 12 hereof.

expenses and liabilities incurred by the Landlord in connection with or arising out of all
