Any attempted assignment or sub-subletting of the Sublease Premises by Subtenant in violation of the terms and provisions of this Section 7 shall be void and of no force and effect. In the event that the consideration received by Subtenant for any sublease or assignment is in excess of the Base Rent or Additional Rent due under Section 5(c) of this Sublease, then Sublandlord and Subtenant shall share the excess amounts received by Subtenant (50% to Sublandlord and 50% to Subtenant following the reimbursement by Subtenant of all expenses incurred by Subtenant in connection with such assignment or subletting), and otherwise according to the calculation set forth in Section 13(f) of the Prime Lease (but based upon the Base Rent and Additional Rent of this Sublease).

(ii) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Subtenant, or its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as:
(1) Subtenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed, by operation of law (reasonably documented by Subtenant to Sublandlord) or by written assumption, by the entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation; and
(2) either:
(i) the Tangible Net Worth of the surviving or created entity is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Subtenant immediately preceding such transaction; or
(ii) immediately following such Transfer Subtenant is deemed to Meet Minimum Rating (as defined below); or
(iii) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of Subtenant’s equity or assets, so long as:
(1) Subtenant’s obligations hereunder are assumed (which assumption shall be reasonably documented by Subtenant to Sublandlord) by the entity acquiring such equity or assets; and
(2) either:
(i) the Tangible Net Worth of the surviving or created entity is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Subtenant immediately preceding such transaction; or
(ii) immediately following such Transfer Subtenant is deemed to Meet Minimum Rating (as defined below).
Subtenant shall promptly notify Sublandlord of any such Permitted Transfer. Subtenant shall remain liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Subtenant hereunder, or if Subtenant no longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition, the surviving or acquiring entity shall expressly assume, by operation of law (reasonably documented by Subtenant to Sublandlord) or by written assumption, the obligations of Subtenant hereunder.

The occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Sublandlord’s rights as to any subsequent subleases of all or any portion of the Premises or assignments of this Sublease. “Affiliate” means any person or entity which, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the party in question. “Tangible Net Worth” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”), excluding, however, from the determination of total assets all assets which
4
would be classified as intangible assets under generally accepted accounting principles, including goodwill, licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and franchises. Any subsequent sublease or assignment by a Permitted Transferee shall be subject to the terms of this Section 7. “Affiliate” means any person or entity which, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the party in question.
For purposes hereof, Subtenant will be deemed to “Meet Minimum Rating” at any time if, at such time, any one of the following exists: (i) Subtenant’s long-term debt is rated by Standard & Poor’s as BBB or better (with no “-“); and such rating is generally available; or (ii) Subtenant’s long-term debt is rated by Xxxxx’x as Baa2 or better, and such rating is generally available; or (iii) so long as Xxxxxx Associates LLC or its successor or affiliate is the Sublandlord, Subtenant’s relative financial strength as determined by Sublandlord in Sublandlor’s sole discretion, in accordance with Sublandlord’s internal proprietary standards is at least BBB (“Subtenant’s HA Rating”). If Subtenant does not Meet Minimum Rating based on Subtenant’s HA Rating, Sublandlord will, if Subtenant so requests, meet with Subtenant to explain, review and discuss the determination of Subtenant’s HA Rating.

22.Insurance. Subtenant, at its sole expense, shall obtain and keep in force the insurance required to be carried by Sublandlord as Tenant under the Prime Lease.
23.Fire, Casualty or Eminent Domain. In the event of a fire or other casualty affecting the Building or the Sublease Premises, or of a taking of all or part of the Building or Sublease Premises under the power of eminent domain, in addition to any other applicable provision of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall take all reasonable actions provided for under the Prime Lease necessary to keep the Prime Lease from being terminated and require Prime Landlord to restore the Building, unless Subtenant elects in writing to allow Sublandlord to terminate the Prime Lease. In such latter event, this Sublease shall automatically terminate without any liability to Sublandlord. In the event Sublandlord is entitled, under the Prime Lease, to a rent abatement as a result of a fire or other casualty or as a result of a taking under the power of eminent domain, then Subtenant shall be entitled to a corresponding proportionate rent abatement applicable to the Sublease Premises under this Sublease. All obligations under the Prime Lease imposed on Sublandlord, as “Tenant” thereunder, to repair or restore leasehold improvements, alterations, fixtures, personal property, furniture, or any other portion of the Sublease Premises with respect to a casualty occurring during the Sublease Term, shall be the responsibility of Subtenant.
24.Non-Merger. Nothing herein shall be construed to merge the interests of Sublandlord and Subtenant, whether by operation of law or otherwise.
25.Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease.
26.Parking. Subtenant shall be entitled to use, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Prime Lease, Subtenant’s Proportionate Share of the Parking Spaces (as defined in the Prime Lease).
27.Prohibited Parties. Sublandlord and Subtenant represent and warrant that, to their knowledge, they are not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by the United States Treasury Department as a Specially Designated National and Blocked Person, or for or on behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation designated in Presidential Executive Order 13224 as a person who commits, threatens to commit, or supports terrorism; and that they are not engaged in this transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, or facilitating this transaction directly or indirectly on behalf of, any such person, group, entity, or nation. Except as may be prohibited by law, each party hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all claims,

damages, losses, risks, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or related to any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.
28.Right to Expand. Subtenant shall have the ongoing option to expand the Sublease Premises into any remaining portion of the Premises upon the same terms and conditions as this Sublease including, but not limited to, acceptance of the additional Premises in “as is” condition. Subtenant may exercise this expansion option at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice (“Zebra Expansion Notice”). Sublandlord shall have no right to sublease any portion of the Premises to any other subtenant without the prior written approval of Subtenant, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Prime Lease is terminated with respect to any portion of the Premises, Subtenant releases Sublandlord from any liability (economic or otherwise) for such portion of the Premises.
29.Execution and Delivery. This Sublease may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be deemed a single Sublease. Delivery of the signed Sublease may be made by electronic delivery of a so-called “pdf” copy or by other electronic means.
