PART I
Item 1. Business
Fab Industries, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is
a major manufacturer of warp knit textile fabrics, raschel laces, circular
knits, novelty knits, and polyurethane coated bonded fabrics. In addition, the
Company produces comforters, sheets, blankets and other bedding products.
The Company was incorporated on April 21, 1966, under the laws of the
State of Delaware and is a successor by merger to previously existing
businesses.
The Company's textile fabrics are sold to a wide variety of
manufacturers of ready to wear and intimate apparel for men, women and children.
Applications include children's sleepwear, activewear, recreational apparel,
home furnishings, over-the-counter fabrics, industrial fabrics, upholstery
fabrics for residential and contract markets, and health care and consumer
products.
While sales are primarily to manufacturers of finished goods, the
Company also uses its own textile fabrics to produce 100% cotton jersey
(T-shirt) sheets, flannel and satin sheets, as well as blankets, comforters and
other bedding products which the Company sells to chain, department and
specialty stores, catalogue and mail order companies, as well as airlines and
health-care institutions.
The Company's Raval Lace Division manufactures raschel lace products
for sale to manufacturers of lingerie and apparel, ribbon, craft and home
furnishings industries, and over-the-counter retailers. Its Raval Designer Lace
Division produces more intricately designed laces for designer lingerie, bridal
wear, dresses, blouses and sportswear.
The Company's subsidiary, Gem Urethane Corporation, produces a line of
polyurethane coated fabrics and a variety of flame, adhesive and ultrasonically
bonded items for apparel, accessories, health care, environmental and industrial
products.
The Company engages in research and product development activities to
create new fabrics and styles to meet the continually changing demands of its
customers. Direct expenditures in this area aggregated $4,347,000 in fiscal
1994, $4,184,000 in fiscal 1995 and $3,875,000 in fiscal 1996. Through these
efforts, the Company has developed a full line of proprietary knitted fabrics
for sale to manufacturers of men's, women's and children's apparel in both
domestic and foreign markets. Similarly, the Company has also developed a full
line of proprietary sheets and blankets, including specialty blankets for the
airline industry.
While the Company uses various trademarks and trade names in the
promotion and sale of its products, it does not believe that the loss or
expiration of any such trademark or trade name would have a material adverse
effect on its operations.
1
<PAGE>
The Company markets its products primarily through its full-time sales
personnel, as well as independent representatives located throughout the United
States and abroad. In cooperation with yarn producers, it employs advertisements
in various media as a marketing tool. The Company also markets its products on
its web site: www.fab-industries.com.
Historically, the Company's business reflects minor seasonal
fluctuations. Somewhat higher sales occur in the second and third fiscal
quarters, as a result of purchases by customers in anticipation of Fall and
Holiday apparel sales. First and fourth fiscal quarter sales tend to be lower as
apparel customers limit their orders to refilling smaller inventory requirements
after Fall and Holiday sales and forecasting customer reorders for Spring and
Summer fabrications.
The Company does not believe its backlog of firm orders is a material
indicator of future business trends, because goods subject to such orders are
shipped within two to ten weeks, depending on the availability of yarn and other
raw materials. On average, orders are filled within six weeks.
For fiscal 1996, the Company's aggregate sales to companies under the
common control of Sara Lee Corporation accounted for approximately 12% of the
Company's net sales. The receivables from this group of customers represent
approximately 13% of the Company's November 30, 1996 accounts receivable
balance. The Company's export sales are not material.
Supplies of Raw Materials
The Company has not experienced difficulties in obtaining sufficient
yarns, chemicals, dyes and other raw materials and supplies to maintain full
production. The Company does not depend upon any single source of supply, and
alternative sources are available for most of the raw materials used in its
business.
Inventories
The Company maintains adequate inventories of yarns and other raw
materials to insure an uninterrupted production flow. Greige and finished goods
are maintained as inventory to meet varying customer demand and delivery
requirements. The Company must maintain adequate working capital, because credit
terms available to customers normally exceed credit terms extended to the
Company by suppliers of raw materials.
Competition
The Company is engaged in a highly competitive business which is based
largely upon product quality, service and price and general consumer demand for
the finished goods utilizing the Company's products. There are more than 20
other manufacturers for its products. The Company believes that it is one of the
major manufacturers of warp and circular knit, raschel lace and urethane product
in the United States. The proportion of imported textile goods sold in the
United States has increased substantially in the past few years, adversely
impacting domestically manufactured textile products and the number of domestic
manufacturers of such products. As a result of significant expenditures on
2
<PAGE>
production equipment, the Company's strong financial position and increased
capacity have enabled it to capture a larger share of the now smaller domestic
textile market.
Employees
The Company employs approximately 1,500 people, who are not represented
by unions. The Company considers relations with its employees to be
satisfactory.
Item 2. Properties.
The Company conducts its manufacturing operations in owned facilities
located in Lincolnton, Maiden, Cherryville and Salisbury, North Carolina, and in
leased facilities located in Amsterdam, New York. All of the Company's
facilities are operated mostly on a five day-a-week basis.
The Company's knitting, dyeing-finishing and printing operations are
conducted at the Lincolnton facility. These operations include warp and raschel
knitting, various types of dyeing, framing, lace separating, sueding, shearing,
napping, calendaring and heat-transfer printing. Dyeing-finishing operations are
also conducted at the Cherryville facility. The Lincolnton and Cherryville
facilities also process and serve as warehouses for greige goods, manufactured
and shipped from the Company's Amsterdam and Maiden plants.
At the Maiden plant facility, the Company conducts a variety of
manufacturing operations, including warping for the tricot and lace machines and
single and double knitting of fabrics. The Salisbury facility is the site of the
Company's consumer and institutional products manufacturing, retail and over-
the-counter operations. The Company's Amsterdam facilities are devoted to tricot
warping and knitting and warehousing. Approximately 106,000 square feet in one
of the Company's Amsterdam plants is used for the production of a line of
polyurethane coated fabrics and a variety of flame, adhesive and ultrasonically
bonded items.
The following table sets forth the location of each of the Company's
manufacturing facilities, its principal use, approximate floor space, and, where
leased, the lease expiration date. No facility owned by the Company is subject
to any encumbrance.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Results of Operations
Fiscal 1996 Compared to Fiscal 1995
Net sales for the 1996 fiscal year were $156,136,000 as compared to
$182,000,000 in 1995, a decrease of 14.2%. Business conditions within the
textile industry remained under pressure as a result of sluggish consumer
demand, as well as highly competitive market conditions and foreign competition.
Gross margins as a percentage of sales declined from 14.9% to 14.5%.
Lower sales volume reduced operating schedules at manufacturing plants, and a
less profitable mix also exerted unfavorable pressures on profit margins.
Margins were benefited by cost control programs and favorable LIFO inventory
levels. In fiscal 1995, an addition to LIFO inventory reserves in the amount of
$893,000 was made as a result of higher raw material prices (primarily fiber),
as compared to a decrease of $742,000 in reserves in fiscal 1996 due to lower
average FIFO cost levels.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined by $3,192,000, or
18.4%, and as a percentage of sales declined to 9.1% from 9.5% last year. The
decline relates primarily to lower incentive-based compensation and lower
related salaries and commissions. In addition, other selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased as a result of the continued effectiveness of
the Company's expense containment program, which began in fiscal 1995.
Interest and dividend income remained at approximately $3.7 million for
both years.
The effective income tax rate for the year was 30.2% as against 31.6%
in fiscal 1995. The decline was primarily attributable to a proportionately
higher percentage of tax exempt interest in fiscal 1996.
As a result of these factors, net income declined to $8,796,000 from
$9,410,000 but as a percentage of sales increased to 5.6% from 5.2%.
Earnings per share, which are based upon the weighted average number of
shares outstanding (5,797,228 vs. 5,981,690), were $1.52 as compared to $1.57 in
fiscal 1995. There was no stock option related dilution in either year.
Fiscal 1995 Compared to Fiscal 1994
Net sales for the 1995 fiscal year were $182,000,000 as compared to
$189,753,000 in 1994, a decrease of 4.1%. The decline reflected an industry wide
slowdown in demand for knit fabrics as a result of weak consumer purchasing of
apparel at the national retail level as well as highly competitive market
conditions. Fiscal 1995 included 52 weeks of operations as compared to 53 weeks
in 1994, also contributing to the sales decline.
8
<PAGE>
Average gross profit margins were 14.9% in fiscal 1995, as compared to
19.7% in 1994. Increases in the cost of raw materials (primarily fiber prices),
a less favorable product mix, and highly competitive market conditions have all
exerted downward pressures on profit margins. Plant operations were adversely
impacted by the current product mix and operating rates at manufacturing
facilities declined from year-ago levels. In addition, because of higher unit
inventory costs resulting from material price increases, LIFO inventory reserves
increased $893,000 during fiscal 1995 (with a corresponding charge to earnings),
as compared to an increase of $98,000 in the 1994 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses declined by $420,000, and
as a percentage of sales remained relatively level at 9.5% for fiscal 1995 and
9.4% for 1994. The decline relates primarily to lower incentive based
compensation.
Interest and dividend income increased by 7.8% to $3,676,000 as against
$3,410,000 in fiscal 1994, as higher comparative returns more than offset lower
average available investment balances.
The Company had realized gains from the sale of investment securities
of $511,000 in fiscal 1995 as against losses of $473,000 in the 1994 period, as
a result of improved market conditions.
The effective income tax rate for the year was 31.6% as against 32.7%
in 1994. The decline was primarily attributable to higher tax exempt interest as
a percentage of pre-tax income in fiscal 1995.
As a result of these factors, net income declined to $9,410,000 or 5.2%
of sales, from $15,093,000, or 8.0% of sales in fiscal 1994. Earnings per share,
which are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding (5,981,690
vs 6,189,831), were $1.57 as compared to $2.44 in fiscal 1994. There was no
stock option related dilution in either year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's principal source of funds continues to be cash flow
generated from operations. Net cash provided by operating activities in fiscal
1996 was $17,223,000 as compared to $13,155,000 in the comparative 1995 period.
Of this increase, $9,047,000 relates to a comparative decline in accounts
receivable, which was offset by $4,407,000 related to a comparative increase in
inventories.
Capital expenditures for the current fiscal year were $4,101,000 as
against $5,215,000 in the comparable 1995 period. In fiscal 1996, the Company
purchased additional knitting and warping machines for two of its knitting
mills.
During fiscal 1996, the Company repurchased 186,804 shares of its
common stock at a cost of $5,401,000 (an average price of $28.91). The Company
intends to continue to purchase its shares of common stock from time-to-time, as
market conditions warrant and price criteria are met.
During fiscal 1996, the Company declared regular quarterly dividends
totaling $0.70 per share.
9
<PAGE>
Stockholders' equity rose to $133,888,000, or $23.25 book value per
share, from $132,932,000, or $22.42 per share, at the previous fiscal year-end.
Management believes that the current financial position of the Company
is more than adequate to internally fund any future expenditures to maintain,
modernize and expand its manufacturing facilities, pay dividends and make
acquisitions of textile related businesses if criteria relating to indebtedness,
market expansion and existing management are met.
Inflation
The Company does not believe the effects of inflation have had a
significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Standards
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long- Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No.
121"). SFAS No. 121 requires, among other things, impairment loss of assets to
be held and gains or losses from assets that are expected to be disposed of be
included as a component of income from continuing operations before taxes on
income. The Company adopted SFAS No. 121 in fiscal 1996 and its implementation
did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), which allows either the intrinsic or fair value
method. SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, entities to adopt the
fair value method in place of the intrinsic value method as provided for in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB No. 25"), for all arrangements under which employees receive
shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer or the employer
incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of its stock. The
Company anticipates retaining the intrinsic value method when it adopts SFAS No.
123 in fiscal 1997.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The Board of Directors
Fab Industries, Inc.
New York, New York
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Fab Industries, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of November 30, 1996 and December 2, 1995 and the related
consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each
of the three fiscal years in the period ended November 30, 1996. We have also
audited the schedule listed in the index on page S-2. These consolidated
financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and schedule are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and
schedule. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fab Industries, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1996 and December 2, 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in
the period ended November 30, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the schedule presents fairly, in all material respects,
the information set forth therein.

FAB INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS:
Fab Industries, Inc. (the "Company") is a major manufacturer of knitted
textile fabrics, laces and finished home products as well as polyurethane coated
fabrics. Sales of textile products comprised substantially all of the Company's
sales in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, and such sales were primarily made to
United States customers. Accordingly, the Company considers itself to be
operating in a single segment business.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated.
FISCAL YEAR:
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to November 30.
Fiscal 1996 and 1995 had fifty- two weeks, and fiscal 1994 had fifty three
weeks.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents,
investment securities, and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and
cash equivalents with high credit quality financial institutions. By policy, the
Company limits the amount of credit exposure to any one financial institution
and determines that, with respect to investment securities, each custodian
maintains appropriate insurance coverage to protect the Company's investment
portfolio. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are
limited due to the diverse group of manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers to
whom the Company sells (see Note 13). The Company reviews a customer's credit
history before extending credit. The Company has established an allowance for
doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific
customers, historical trends and other information.
CASH EQUIVALENTS:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all
highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.
INVESTMENTS:
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
("SFAS 115"), "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". SFAS 115 addresses accounting and reporting for investments in
equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and for all
investments in debt securities. Investments in such securities are to be
classified as either held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. The
Company classifies all of its investments as available-for-sale. The investments
are recorded at their fair value and the unrealized gain or loss, net of income
taxes, is recorded in stockholders' equity.
Gains and losses on sales of investment securities are computed using the
specific identification method.

FAB INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVENTORIES:
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. For a majority of
the inventories, cost is determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method with
the balance being determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, which
approximates replacement cost (see Note 3).
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
using principally the straight-line method. The range of estimated useful lives
is 15 to 33 years for buildings and building improvements, 4 to 10 years for
machinery and equipment, 10 years for leasehold improvements and 5 years for
trucks (see Note 4).
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS:
Research and development costs are charged to expenses in the year incurred
and amounted to $3,875,000, $4,184,000 and $4,347,000 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.
TAXES ON INCOME:
The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS
109"),"Accounting for Income Taxes".
Provision is made for deferred income taxes which result from various
temporary differences, principally relating to the use of accelerated
depreciation for tax purposes (see Note 9).
EARNINGS PER SHARE:
Earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes substantially all of its revenues upon shipment of
the related goods. Allowances for estimated returns are provided when sales are
recorded.
RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS No. 121").
SFAS No. 121 requires, among other things, impairment loss of assets to be held
and gains or losses from assets that are expected to be disposed of be included
as a component of income from continuing operations before taxes on income. The
Company adopted SFAS No. 121 in fiscal 1996 and its implementation did not have
a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS No. 123"), which allows either the intrinsic or fair value
method. SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, entities to adopt the
fair value method in place of the intrinsic value method as provided for in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB No. 25"), for all arrangements under which employees receive
shares of stock or other equity instruments of the employer or the employer
incurs liabilities to employees in amounts based on the price of its stock. The
Company anticipates retaining the intrinsic value method when it adopts SFAS No.
123 in fiscal 1997.

Restricted Stock Plan:
During fiscal 1991, the Company approved a restricted stock plan which
awarded 60,000 shares of common stock previously held in its treasury to key
employees. Shares are awarded in the name of the employee, who has all rights of
a shareholder, subject to certain restrictions or forfeiture. Vesting occurs
over a five-year period from the date the shares were awarded. Dividends
associated with the shares will be held by the Company and will vest over the
same five-year period. 3,000 shares were forfeited in fiscal 1996 and the
balance became fully vested.
The shares were recorded at their quoted market value at the date of grant
of $26 per share, or $1,560,000. The compensation element related to the
awarding of such shares is recognized ratably over the five-year restriction
period.
During fiscal 1996 and 1994, an additional 2,400 shares and 1,000 shares,
respectively, were awarded under terms similar to those described above.

Note 7 - Stockholder Rights Plan
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During fiscal 1990, the Company's Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder
Rights Plan ("Rights Plan"). The Rights Plan was subsequently amended in May
1991, following a 2 for 1 stock split. In connection with the Rights Plan, as
amended, the Company declared a dividend of one-half share purchase right (a
"Right") on each of its common shares. Each Right entitles the holders to buy
from the Company one-half of a common share for every share owned at an exercise
price of $60 per share. The Rights have a term of ten years and can only become
exercisable upon Board of Directors' approval if a person or group acquires 20%
or more of the Company's common shares, or announces that it intends to commence
a tender offer which would result in the ownership of 30% or more of the common
shares as defined in the Rights Plan. Until they become exercisable, the Rights
will be evidenced by the common stock certificates and will be transferred only
with such certificates. The Company is entitled to redeem the Rights at $.01 per
Right at any time prior to the Rights' becoming exercisable. Upon an acquisition
or similar transaction, the Rights will become exercisable at a 50% discount for
common shares of an acquiring person. The Rights attach to all of the Company's
common shares outstanding as of June 6, 1990, or subsequently issued, and expire
on June 6, 2000.
Note 8 - Benefit Plans
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Profit Sharing Plans:
A qualified plan, which covers the majority of salaried employees, provides

annual base compensation. Contributions for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
$439,000, $415,000 and $538,000, respectively.
The Company established in fiscal 1990 a nonqualified, defined contribution
retirement plan for key employees who are ineligible for the salaried employees
qualified profit sharing plan. Contributions for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
$98,000, $123,000 and $156,000, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan:
On November 25, 1991, the Company established an Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (ESOP) which covers all full time employees who have completed one year of
service. On December 18, 1991, the ESOP purchased 340,000 shares of common stock
from the Chairman of the Board of Directors and President of the Company for
$34.875 per share, which represented 5.5% of the Company's then outstanding
common stock. The ESOP was funded by the Company, pursuant to a loan pledge
agreement dated December 18, 1991 for $11,857,000. The loan is payable by the
ESOP to the Company from contributions to be made in fifteen equal annual
principal installments plus interest at the prime rate. Employee rights to the
common shares vest over a seven-year period and are payable at retirement,
death, disability or termination of employment.
Annual principal installments of $790,000 plus interest at prime are paid
by the ESOP to the Company. The balance on the ESOP indebtedness at November 30,
1996 of $7,907,000 is reflected as a reduction of the Company's stockholders'
equity in the consolidated balance sheet.
ESOP contributions are recorded for financial reporting purposes as the
ESOP shares become allocable to the Plan participants. All ESOP shares are
considered outstanding in the determination of earnings per share.
The portion of the common stock dividends declared relating to ESOP shares
totaled $232,000, $229,000 and $216,000 for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Of these amounts, $75,000, $60,000 and $50,000 for fiscal 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively, related to allocated shares and $157,000, $169,000
and $166,000 for fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, related to
unallocated shares. The dividends related to the unallocated shares are being
applied towards the $790,000 annual principal installments referred to above.

- 2 -
<PAGE>
effective April 30, 2001 provided prior written notice is given to Landlord by
July 31, 2000, time being of the essence.
4. Effective as of May 1, 1996, Article 33 and 56 of the Lease shall be
replaced by the following new Article 33 on May 1, 1996;
ELECTRICITY
A. Landlord agrees to furnish up to six (6) watts of electric current
per rentable square foot for Tenant's use in the demised premises (exclusive of
the currently existing building air conditioning system), upon and subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 33. Tenant is to be
responsible for the distribution of such electricity throughout the demised
premises. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall purchase all
electric current consumed in the demised premises from Landlord or Landlord's
designated agent on the basis of Consolidated Edison Company of New York rate
schedule for which Landlord purchases electricity (or the rate schedule closest
thereto if such rate schedule no longer exists), as applied to all electricity
consumed in the demised premises during the applicable billing period. Tenant's
consumption of electrical energy at the demised premises will be measured by
submeters installed by Landlord at Landlord's expense. Tenant also shall pay
Landlord an administrative charge, as additional rent, of five (5%) percent of
each bill to reimburse Landlord for the costs incurred in reading such submeters
and the billing and collection of amounts payable by Tenant pursuant to this
Article 33.
B. Where more than one submeter measures Tenant's electric service
(including such electric energy as is consumed in connection with the operation
of the ventilation and air conditioning equipment servicing the demised
premises), the service rendered through each submeter may be computed and billed
at Landlord's option separately as above set forth or as an aggregate total in
accordance with the provisions hereof. Bills therefor any be rendered monthly
and shall be payable on demand as additional rent. In the event that such bills
are not paid within sixty (60) days after the same are rendered, Landlord may,
without further notice, discontinue the service of electric current to the
demised premises without releasing Tenant from any liability under this lease
and without Landlord's agent incurring
- 3 -
<PAGE>
any liability for any damage or loss sustained by Tenant by such
discontinuance of service.
C. Landlord is not in any way liable or responsible to Tenant for any
loss, damage or expense which Tenant may sustain or incur if either the quantity
or character of electric service is changed or is no longer available or
suitable for Tenant's requirements. Any riser or risers necessary to supply
Tenant's electrical requirements in excess of those specified in Paragraph A
will, upon written request of Tenant, be installed by landlord at the sole cost
and expense of Tenant if, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, the same are
necessary and will not cause adverse damage or injury to the building or the
operation thereof or the demised premises, cause or create a dangerous or
hazardous condition, entail excessive or unreasonable alterations, repairs or
expense or interfere with or disturb other tenants or occupants. Landlord will
not, nor will it be required to, commence such installation unless and until
Tenant approves in writing all costs in connection therewith. In addition to the
installation of such riser or risers, Landlord will also, at the sole cost and
expense of Tenant, install all other equipment proper and necessary in
connection therewith subject to the aforesaid terms and conditions. Tenant's use
of electric current shall never exceed the capacity of existing feeders or
risers to, or wiring installations in, the building and the demised premises.
All of such costs and expense shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty
(30) days after rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefor.
D. Provided Landlord is discontinuing such service of electrical
current to a majority of tenants in the building, Landlord may discontinue such
service of electric current upon thirty (30) days notice to Tenant (or such
longer period of time as is necessary for Tenant to obtain electric current
directly from another source provided Tenant diligently makes application for
the same) without being liable to Tenant therefor and without in any way
affecting this lease or the liability of Tenant hereunder or causing a
diminution of fixed rent. Such discontinuance is not to be deemed to be a
lessening or diminution of service within the meaning of any law, rule or
regulation now or hereafter enacted, promulgated or issued. If Landlord so
discontinues furnishing electric current to Tenant, Tenant shall arrange to
obtain electric current directly from the public utility company servicing the
building (the "Utility Company"). Such electric current may be furnished to
Tenant by means of the then existing building system feeders, risers and wiring
to the extent that the same are available, suitable and safe for such purposes.
All meters and additional panel boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other
conductors and equipment that may be required to obtain electric current
directly from the
- 4 -
<PAGE>
Utility Company shall be installed and maintained by Landlord, at Tenant's
expense.
E. Tenant agrees not to make any alterations or additions to the
electric equipment and/or appliances presently installed in the demised premises
without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. Rigid conduit
only will be allowed.
F. If any tax is imposed upon Landlord's receipt from the sale or
resale of electric energy to Tenant by any federal, state or municipal
authority, where permitted by law, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand
Tenant's pro-rata share of such taxes, as additional rent
G. Anything in Paragraph B to the contrary notwithstanding, if the
Commencement Date occurs prior to the installation and property calibration of
the submeters, then Tenant shall pay Landlord for Tenant's consumption of
electricity in the demised premises at rates reasonably estimated by Landlord's
electrical consultant that Tenant would pay if such meters were fully
operational. In addition, if during any time during the Term, it is determined
that the submeters servicing the demised premises are or were malfunctioning,
Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord's
electrical consultant to be the amount that would have been payable by Tenant
had such malfunction not occurred.
5. Effective as of May 1, 1996, the "Base Tax Year" as provided for in
Article 40 section A.2. shall become the New York City Tax Year commencing July
1, 1996 and ending on June 30, 1997. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
additional rent shall be due by Tenant for increase in Real Estate Taxes prior
to January 1, 1998.
6. Effective as of May 1, 1996, Article 40 C. of the Lease is to be
removed in its entirety and replaced with the following new Article 40.C.
In lieu of paying additional rents related to increases in the Labor
Rate, Tenant agrees to pay the following to Landlord:
