2006…Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, a national law firm with

committed and wise as Stroock.”

One Centre Street to a building owned by Trinity Church in Lower Manhattan. In addition to
expansion and renewal rights, WNYC will also be entitled under the lease to have exterior signage
and the right to use the ground floor portion as a performance space. Real Estate Partners, Jack
Bart and Ross Moskowitz, and Associate Diana Brummer, are the Stroock attorneys who worked
on this transaction.
