Subtenant agrees to pay all Fixed Rent to Sublandlord, in lawful money of the United States, in equal monthly installments
in advance, on the first (1st) clay of each calendar month during the Term, without any deduction, offset, abatement, defense and/or counterclaim whatsoever; it being agreed, however, that Subtenant shall not be required to pay Fixed Rent and/or additional rent pursuant to this

Without limiting the foregoing, Subtenant's obligation to pay Fixed Rent shall not commence until the end of the Free Fixed Rental Period (as the same may be extended ) under the Xxxxxxxxx. Subtenant has heretofore paid the first (1st) monthly installment of Fixed Rent. The monthly installment of Fixed Rent payable on account of any partial calendar month during the Term, if any, shall be prorated.
B. In addition to the Fixed Rent payable hereunder, Subtenant covenants to pay as additional rent, all amounts that are required to be paid to Overlandlord as additional rent pursuant to the Xxxxxxxxx, including, without limitation, all amounts payable under Article 5 and Article 6 of the Xxxxxxxxx, and which are payable with respect to the Sublease Premises for periods occurring wholly or in part within the Term of this Sublease, as calculated and in the manner provided in the Xxxxxxxxx.
A.Except to the extent that the parties hereto agree that such payments may be made to Subland lord by wire transfer, all payments of Fixed Rent and additional rent (Fixed Rent and additional rent are collectively referred to herein as "rent") shall (as the parties may agree), be made by good and sufficient check (subject to collection) currently elated, issued directly from Subtenant, without endorsements, to the order of MacAnclrews & Forbes Group, LLC, or to Overlandlord. Furthermore, in any instance where the Xxxxxxxxx provides for payment to Overlandlord, Subtenant's sole obligation shall be (as applicable) to make such payment directly to Overland lord or reimburse Sublandlorcl for the actual amount
paid by Sublandlord to Overlandlord (without any markup to Sublandlord), and with the express agreement that there shall be no duplicate payments by Subtenant of any amounts.

C.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, all sums of money, other than Fixed Rent, as shall become due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease shall be deemed to be additional rent, and Sublandlord shall have the same rights and remedies in the event of non-payment of additional rent as are available to Sublandlord for the non-payment of Fixed Rent.

Subtenant shall use and occupy the Sublease Premises for executive and general business office purposes only, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Xxxxxxxxx (the "Permitted Use"), as well as such ancillary uses as are permitted under the Xxxxxxxxx, and for no other purpose , and further covenants not to do any act which will result in a violation of the Xxxxxxxxx.

B. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in the Xxxxxxxxx are hereby made a part hereof. The rights and obligations contained in the Xxxxxxxxx are, during the term of this subletting, hereby imposed upon the respective parties hereto, Sublandlord as being substituted for Overland lord , and Subtenant being substituted for Sublandlord with respect to the Xxxxxxxxx; provided, however , that Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant for any failure in performance resulting from the failure in performance by Overlandlord under the Xxxxxxxxx of the corresponding covenant of the Xxxxxxxxx, and Sublandlord's obligations hereunder are accordingly conditional where such obligations require such parallel performance by Overlandlord. It is expressly agreed that Sublandlord shall not be obligated to perform any obligation which is the obligation of Overland lord under the Xxxxxxxxx. Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant by reason of the default of Overland lord under the Xxxxxxxxx.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in or omitted from Paragraph 8 below, Subtenant recognizes that Sublandlord is not in a position and shall not be required to render any of the services or utilities, to make repairs, replacements, restorations, alterations or improvements or to perform any of the obligations required of Overland lord by the terms of the Xxxxxxxxx and agrees that Sublandlord shall not be bound by any of Overlandlord's representations concerning the Building (including the Sublease Premises). Sublandlord agrees, however, to use reasonable efforts to enforce its rights against Overlandlord under the Xxxxxxxxx for the benefit of Subtenant upon Subtenant's written request therefor (and to forward to Overlandlord any notices or requests for consent as Subtenant may reasonably request). Subtenant shall promptly reimburse Sublandlord for any and all costs which Sublandlord shall incur in expending such efforts. Furthermore, and without limiting any of the other provisions of this Sublease, Subtenant does hereby indemnify and agree to hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements) incurred by Sublandlord in expending such efforts.

however, that at the request of Subtenant, Sublandlord shall permit Subtenant to institute an action or proceeding against Overlandlord (an "Xxxxxxxxx Enforcement Proceeding") in the name of Sublandlord (or, without Sublandlord making any kind of representation or warranty that Subtenant shall have the privity or standing to do so, Sublandlord shall permit Subtenant to institute an action or proceeding against Overland lord in Subtenant's own name) to enforce Sublandlord's rights under the Xxxxxxxxx which are applicable to Subtenant, provided that: (i) Subtenant shall not then be in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Sublease following notice and the expiration of any applicable cure periods; and (ii) such action shall be prosecuted at the sole cost and expense of Subtenant, and Subtenant shall agree to indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements) incurred or suffered by Sublandlord in connection with such action or proceeding. Subtenant acknowledges that the failure of Overland lord to provide any services or comply with any obligations under the Xxxxxxxxx shall not entitle Subtenant to any abatement or reduction in rent except to the extent that Sublandlord receives a corresponding abatement or reduction in rent pursuant to the Xxxxxxxxx. Sublandlord hereby agrees that Subtenant may send requests for additional services, or notices with respect to service related issues, directly to Overland. At Sublandlord's request, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with copies of any notices that Subtenant sends to Overland lord.
A.Wherever the Xxxxxxxxx refers to the "Demised Premises" such references for the purposes hereof shall be deemed to refer to the Sublease Premises.

Subtenant hereby covenants that, throughout the Term, Subtenant shall observe and perform all of the provisions of the Xxxxxxxxx which are to be observed and performed by the tenant thereunder other than the covenant to pay rent to the Overlandlord.
Subtenant covenants that Subtenant shall not do any act, matter or xxx xx which will be, result in, or constih1te a violation or breach of or a default under the Xxxxxxxxx; it being expressly agreed to by Subtenant that any such violation, breach or default shall constitute a material breach by Subtenant of a substantial obligation under this Sublease.

Sublandlord agrees that Subtenant may request any required consents or approvals directly from Overlandlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Overlandlord shall require that Sublandlord (rather than Subtenant) deliver such consent or approval requests, or that Sublandlord join in any such requests with Subtenant, then Sublandlord shall, as applicable, and at no cost to Subtenant, join in such requests or directly issue such requests. Furthermore, in any instance where the Xxxxxxxxx permits the Overlandlord to assess a charge, Subtenant's sole obligation shall be (as applicable) to pay such charge directly to Overlandlord or reimburse
