to time designate by written notice mailed or delivered to Subtenant.
SECTION 3.04. Subtenant's Pro Rata Share. At any given time during the
term of this Sublease, Subtenant's pro rata share under this Sublease shall be
determined by multiplying the total additional rent or other charge due by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of square feet of the
Subleased Premises in the possession of the Subtenant at the time of such

deposit with Sublandlord, in cash, the sum of seventy thousand three hundred
thirty-four dollars and no cents ($70,334.00) as and for a Security Deposit to
secure Subtenant's full and timely performance of all of its obligations
hereunder. If Subtenant defaults after notice and the expiration of any cure
period, with respect to any provision of this Sublease, Sublandlord may (but
shall not be obligated to) use, apply, or retain all or any portion of said
deposit for payment of any sum for which Subtenant is obligated or which will
compensate Sublandlord for any loss or damage which Sublandlord may suffer
thereby. Any such use, application, or retention shall not constitute a waiver
by Sublandlord of its right to enforce its other remedies hereunder, at law, or
in equity. If any portion of said deposit is so used, applied, or retained,
Subtenant shall, within ten (10) days after delivery of written demand from
Sublandlord, restore said deposit to its original amount. Subtenant's failure
to do so shall constitute a material breach of this Sublease, and in such event

this Sublease. Sublandlord shall not be a trustee of such deposit, and shall
not be required to keep this deposit separate from its accounts. Sublandlord
alone shall be entitled to any interest or earnings thereon and Sublandlord
shall have the free use of same. If Subtenant fully and faithfully performs all
of its obligations hereunder, then so much of the deposit as remains shall be

nor shall Subtenant sublet, license, encumber or permit the Subleased Premises
or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others, without Sublandlord's and
Master Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. The consent by Sublandlord and Master Landlord to any
assignment or subletting shall not waive the need for Subtenant (and
Subtenant's assignee or subtenant) to obtain the consent of Sublandlord and
Master Landlord to any different or further assignment or subletting. Except as
otherwise provided for in Section 1.2 above, all terms and conditions set forth
in the Master Lease regarding assignments and subletting shall apply, and to

receipt by Subtenant, minus Subtenant's reasonable costs of such sublease or
assignment for broker's fees and attorneys' fees. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except for any Bonus Rent that Sublandlord is required to pay to
Master Landlord under the terms of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall not be
required to pay any Bonus Rent to Sublandlord arising out of an assignment or
sublease to a Permitted Transfer.
SECTION 8.02. Form of Document. Every assignment, agreement, or sublease
shall recite that it is and shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions
of this Sublease, that the assignee or Subtenant assumes Subtenant's obligation
hereunder, but only to the extent applicable to the Premises, and that the
termination of this Sublease shall, at Sublandlord's sole election, constitute
a termination of every such assignment or sublease.
SECTION 8.03. No Release of Subtenant. Regardless of Sublandlord's
consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Subtenant of Subtenant's
obligation or alter the primary liability of Subtenant to pay the Rent and to
perform all other obligations to be performed by Subtenant hereunder. The
acceptance of Rent by Sublandlord from any other person shall not be deemed to
be a waiver by Sublandlord of any provision hereof. In the event of default by
any assignee, subtenant or any other successor of Subtenant, in the performance
of any of the terms hereof, Sublandlord may proceed directly against Subtenant
without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant
or successor.
SECTION 8.04. Default. An involuntary assignment shall constitute a
default and Sublandlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this
Sublease, in which case this Sublease shall not be treated as an asset of
Subtenant.
SECTION 8.05. Permitted Transfer.
8.5.1 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Sublease or the Master
Lease, Subtenant may enter into any of the following transfers (a "Permitted

offering on a national stock exchange or a regularly traded over-the-counter
market and quoted on NASDAQ or shares that may be traded publicly subsequent
thereto, provided: (a) Subtenant is not in default under this Sublease beyond
applicable cure periods; (b) if such proposed transferee is a successor to
Subtenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization, the continuing
or surviving entity shall own all or substantially all of the assets of
Subtenant and shall have a net worth which is at least equal to Subtenant's net
worth at the date of the Permitted Transfer; (c) such proposed transferee
operates the business in the Subleased Premises for the use described in this
