Notwithstanding anything contained in this Sublease to the contrary, if despite Sublandlord's efforts, Sublandlord fails to deliver the Phase II Subleased Premises to Subtenant with all of Sublandlord’s Work complete by July 15, 2021 (the “Phase II Deadline”), Tenant shall receive a credit of one (1) day of Sublease Base Rent (to be applied once the Sublease Base Rent Credit is exhausted for Sublease Months 1-9 or any subsequent Sublease Months) for every day past Phase II Deadline that Sublandlord fails to so deliver possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant with Sublandlord’s Work completed. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, if Sublandlord is delayed or prevented from performing its obligations related to the Phase II Deadline due to: (x) any fire, act of God, governmental act or failure to act, strike, labor dispute, inability to procure materials, or any cause beyond Sublandlord’s reasonable control (whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing events), or (y) Prime Landlord’s failure to deliver the Consent, or (z) any Subtenant Delay (defined in Section 5(c)), then the parties shall deem the Phase II Deadline extended for a period equal to the period(s) of such delay or prevention.

If such actions, inaction, or circumstance described in a Delay Notice are not cured or addressed by Subtenant within one (1) business day after Subtenant’s receipt of such Delay Notice, then a Subtenant Delay shall be deemed to have occurred commencing as of the date of Subtenant’s receipt of such Delay Notice and ending as of the date such Subtenant Delay ends.

Sublandlord shall not be required to maintain such security deposit in a separate account. Except as may be required by law, Subtenant shall not be entitled to interest on the security deposit. Within thirty (30) days after the later of the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term or Subtenant’s vacating the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord shall return such security deposit to Subtenant, less such portion thereof as Sublandlord shall have appropriated to satisfy any of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease or to satisfy a Default under this Sublease.

If any portion of the security deposit (in whatever form) is so used or applied, then within seven (7) business days after Sublandlord gives written notice to Subtenant of such use or application, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord cash in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to the original Security Deposit Amount, and Subtenant’s failure to do so shall constitute a Default under this Sublease.

10. Subtenant Alterations.

(a) Except for Minor Alterations (as defined in the Prime Lease), Subtenant shall not make any Material Alterations (as defined in the Prime Lease) in or to the Subleased Premises, without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Prime Landlord and Sublandlord. If any Material Alterations are made without consent, Prime Landlord or Sublandlord may remove the same, and may correct, repair and restore the Subleased Premises and any damage arising from such removal, and Subtenant shall be liable for any and all costs and expenses incurred by Prime Landlord or Sublandlord in the performance of this work. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term or Subtenant’s vacating the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall, upon request of Prime Landlord or Sublandlord which shall be provided, if at all, at the time of approval of a Material Alteration, remove said Material Alterations and repair all damage resulting from such removal, ordinary wear and tear excepted. If Subtenant fails or refuses to remove such Material Alterations, or fails to correct, repair and restore the Subleased Premises, Prime Landlord or Sublandlord may cause the same to be removed, and repairs and restoration to be made, in which event Subtenant shall reimburse to the party who caused said Tenant Alterations to be removed and repairs made, the reasonable cost of such removal, repairs and restoration. There shall be no charge by Sublandlord for the review of plans or any inspections that Sublandlord deems necessary with regard to any Material Alterations. Subtenant shall, however, within ten (10) days of written demand, pay or reimburse Sublandlord for all amounts payable under the Prime Lease arising out of Subtenant’s requests for any Tenant Alteration, including but not limited to Prime Landlord’s construction fee. Alternatively, Sublandlord may direct Subtenant to pay such amounts directly to Prime Landlord, in which event Subtenant shall pay such amounts to Prime Landlord within ten (10) days after Subtenant is billed therefor. If such amounts are billed directly by Prime Landlord to Subtenant, Subtenant may, and shall, pay such amounts directly to Prime Landlord within ten (10) days after Subtenant is billed therefor unless Sublandlord directs Subtenant to make such payment to Sublandlord. Any Material Alterations made by or behalf of Subtenant and designated to be removed at the end of the Sublease Term as herein provided above shall be removed by Subtenant, and Subtenant shall correct and repair any damage rising from such removal, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Subtenant shall have the option to install a reception desk in the common area lobby of the Building, subject to the terms of this Section 10.

11. Surrender; Subtenant’s Personal Property. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease (excepting, however, any early termination of this Sublease because of a default by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease), Subtenant shall remove all of its furniture, furnishings and equipment, shall repair all damage resulting from such removal or its use of the Subleased Premises, and shall surrender the Subleased Premises in good condition, subject only to ordinary wear and tear and to damage, if any, by fire or other casualty. The obligations of Subtenant as herein provided shall survive the termination of this Sublease.

12. Terms of Prime Lease.

(a) Generally. All of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Prime Lease are incorporated herein by reference and hereby made a part of and are superior to this Sublease, except as herein otherwise expressly provided. Except as provided herein, as between the parties hereto, Subtenant hereby assumes all of the obligations of the Sublandlord as the tenant under the Prime Lease as specifically relating to the Subleased Premises. Sublandlord shall have all of the rights of the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease as against Subtenant. Subtenant shall have all of the rights of the Tenant under the Prime Lease as against Sublandlord, provided that, in the event that the provisions of this Sublease and those of the Prime Lease conflict, the provisions of this Sublease shall prevail. Except as provided in this Sublease and below, Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not be obligated to furnish for Subtenant any services of any nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, the furnishing of heat, electrical energy, air conditioning, elevator service, cleaning, window washing, or trash removal services. With respect to work, services, repairs and restoration or the performance of other obligations required of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, Sublandlord’s sole obligation with respect thereto shall be to request the same from Prime Landlord following its receipt of Subtenant's written request, and Sublandlord agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts (excluding litigation) to cause the Prime Landlord to provide such services. Subtenant shall not under any circumstances seek or require Sublandlord to perform or cause the performance of any work, services, repairs, restoration or the performance of any other obligation required of Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, and Subtenant shall not make any claim against Sublandlord for any damage which may arise by reason of (i) the failure of Prime Landlord to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed by it under the Prime Lease, or (ii) any act or omission of Prime Landlord, or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees or licensees. Subtenant shall obtain and maintain all insurance types and coverages as specified in the Prime Lease to be obtained and maintained by Sublandlord, as Tenant and as specifically relating to the Subleased Premises, in amounts not less than those specified in the Prime Lease. All policies of insurances obtained by Subtenant shall name Prime Landlord and Sublandlord as additional insureds therein in accordance with the Prime Lease. Subtenant’s insurance shall, as specifically relating to the Subleased Premises, be primary over Prime Landlord’s and Sublandlord’s insurance. Subtenant will deliver to Sublandlord annually certificates reflecting that Subtenant has obtained and is maintaining the required insurance coverages in the appropriate amounts. Terms not otherwise defined in this Sublease shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Prime Lease.

(b) No Options Under the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding anything in Section 12(a) to the contrary, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant shall not have the right to exercise any renewal, expansion, right of first refusal, or other similar options or rights afforded to Sublandlord under the Prime Lease or otherwise.

(c) Certain Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, the following provisions of the Office Lease dated January 23, 2012 are not incorporated herein: Sections 3.4, 4.2, 5, 6, 7.7, 15.1, 15.4, 21, and 23.2; Rider 1; and Exhibit “E” (The Work Letter).

13. Subtenant’s Covenants.

14. Indemnification. Except to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or its agents, employees, consultants or contractors, Subtenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord, its affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, from and against all claims, suits, loss, liability, damages, cost, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent arising from (i) any act or omission of Subtenant, its contractors, agents, employees or sub-subtenants in the Subleased Premises, or (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant, agents, employees, consultants or contractors. Except to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant or its agents, employees, consultants or contractors, Sublandlord shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Subtenant, its affiliates, officers, directors, and employees, from and against all claims, suits, loss, liability, damages, cost, and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent arising from (i) any act or omission of Sublandlord, its contractors, agents, employees or sub-subtenants in an area of the Building or project outside of the Subleased Premises, or (ii) the negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant, agents, employees, consultants or contractors.

15. Assignment and Sublease.

(a) Subtenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber this Sublease, or sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Prime Landlord and Sublandlord, which consent Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay, subject to the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Subtenant, without Sublandlord consent (provided that Subtenant is not in Default (inclusive of any notice and applicable cure periods)) may assign this Sublease (a “Permitted Transfer”) to (a) any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Subtenant, (b) the successor entity in the event of a merger, reorganization, recapitalization or consolidation involving Subtenant, or (c) the purchaser of all or substantially all of Subtenant’s assets (any, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, (x) Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord of such Permitted Transfer as soon as reasonably and legally possible (including prior to the date of the Permitted Transfer, if legally possible), which notice shall contain a written certificate from Subtenant stating the legal and beneficial relationship of Subtenant and the proposed assignee, transferee, or subtenant, (y) the Permitted Transferee shall assume and agree in a writing to the Permitted Transfer, and (z) in no event shall Subtenant be released from any liabilities and obligations under this Sublease.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 15(a) to the contrary, provided no Default exists hereunder, Subtenant may, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Sublandlord, but without Sublandlord’s prior written consent, permit occupancy of portions of the Subleased Premises on a non-demising basis to Desk Space Users (as hereinafter defined) without the payment of any fee to Sublandlord; provided, that (i) each Desk Space User shall use the Subleased Premises in accordance with all of the provisions of this Sublease, and only for the use expressly permitted pursuant to this Sublease, (ii) in no event shall the use of any portion of the Subleased Premises by any such Desk Space User create or be deemed to create any right, title or interest of such Desk Space User in any portion of the Subleased Premises or this Sublease, (iii) such occupancy shall terminate automatically upon the termination of this Sublease, and (iv) the portion of the Subleased Premises being used by all Desk Space Users in the aggregate shall not at any time exceed ten percent (10%) of the then total Rentable Area of the Subleased Premises. Upon the written request of Sublandlord, Subtenant shall within five (5) business days notify Sublandlord in writing of all Desk Space Users (if any) occupying the Subleased Premises. “Desk Space User” means a bona fide affiliate of Subtenant, or other entity with which Subtenant typically co-locates and with which Subtenant has an ongoing bona fide business relationship. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that (x) any Desk Space User agreement shall be subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sublease and the Prime Lease, (y) notwithstanding any Desk Space User agreement, Subtenant shall remain fully liable for all of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, and (z) Subtenant’s right granted hereunder is a personal right limited solely to Subtenant and/or any assignee pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.

16. Signs. Subtenant shall have the right to install signs, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, subject to the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease. Subtenant’s signage shall include on-building signage, monument signage, lobby reception area signage, and suite entry signage. Sublandlord will cooperate with Subtenant’s reasonable requests for assistance, at no cost to Sublandlord, in order for Subtenant to achieve on-building signage subject to Meridian Business Park codes and restrictions.

17. Broker. Sublandlord and Subtenant each warrants to the other that in connection with this Lease it has not employed or dealt with any broker, agent or finder, other than the Broker. Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any claim for brokerage or other commissions, or for a lien under any applicable broker’s lien law, asserted by any broker, agent or finder employed by Subtenant or with whom Subtenant has dealt, other than the Broker. Sublandlord shall indemnify and hold Subtenant harmless from and against any claim for brokerage or other commissions asserted by the Broker and any other broker, agent or finder employed by Sublandlord or with whom Sublandlord has dealt. Subtenant’s and Sublandlord’s indemnities set forth in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term.

18. Entire Agreement. This Sublease contains all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, conditions, warranties and understandings relating to the leasing of the Subleased Premises and Sublandlord’s obligations in connection therewith, and neither Sublandlord nor any agent or representative of Sublandlord has made or is making, and Subtenant in executing and delivering this Sublease is not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements whatsoever, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Sublease. All understandings and agreements, if any, heretofore had between the parties are merged into this Sublease, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of the parties. The failure of Sublandlord to insist in any instance upon the strict keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Sublease or to exercise any election herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant, agreement, term, provision, condition or election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver or modification of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Sublandlord and consented to (in writing) by Prime Landlord. No surrender of possession of the Subleased Premises or of any part thereof or of any remainder of the term of this Sublease shall release Subtenant from any of its obligations hereunder unless accepted by Sublandlord in writing. The receipt and retention by Sublandlord of monthly base rent or additional rent from anyone other than Subtenant shall not be deemed a waiver of the breach by Subtenant of any covenant, agreement, term or provision of this Sublease, or as the acceptance of such other person as a tenant, or as a release of Subtenant of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions herein contained. The receipt and retention by Sublandlord of monthly base rent or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

19. Default. Each of the following is a “Default” by Subtenant under this Sublease: (i) Subtenant’s failure to make when due any payment of the Rent, or other sum, which failure shall continue for a period of five (5) business days after Sublandlord sends Subtenant written notice thereof, provided, however, that Subtenant is not entitled to more than three (3) such notices of a monetary delinquency during any 12-month period, and if thereafter any Rent or other sum is not paid when due, a Default shall be deemed to have occurred; (ii) Subtenant’s failure to perform or observe any covenant or condition of this Sublease, which failure shall continue for a period of twenty (20) days after Sublandlord sends Subtenant written notice thereof; provided, however, that if such cure cannot reasonably be effected within such twenty (20) day period and Subtenant begins such cure promptly within such twenty (20) day period and is pursuing such cure in good faith and with diligence and continuity during such twenty (20) day period, then Subtenant shall have such additional time as is reasonably necessary to effect such cure; (iii) Subtenant’s dissolution or liquidation; (iv) any sublease, assignment or mortgage not permitted by Section 15; or (v) Subtenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

20. Remedies. If any Default occurs, or if this Sublease and the Sublease Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Section 19 above, then Sublandlord shall have all of the rights and remedies against Subtenant which are provided to Prime Landlord under and subject to Section 15.2 of the Prime Lease, including but not limited to Section 15.2(f). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Subtenant and Sublandlord hereby waive any consequential, punitive and special damages, compensation or claims for inconvenience or loss of business, rents, or profits, whether or not caused by the willful and wrongful act of Subtenant or Sublandlord and/or any party acting by, through or under Subtenant or Sublandlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not negate Subtenant’s indemnity of Sublandlord as provided below for claims Sublandlord incurs with respect to the Prime Lease by reason of such Subtenant’s holdover.

21. Sublandlord’s Representations and Obligations. Sublandlord represents as of the date hereof that: (a) Sublandlord has the full right and authority to execute and deliver this Sublease; (b) Sublandlord has received no notices of default from Prime Landlord; and (c) to its actual knowledge, Sublandlord is not in default under the terms of the Prime Lease. Sublandlord represents and warrants that the Prime Lease and Subleased Premises are not encumbered by any prior transfer, assignment, mortgage, loan, assessment or encumbrances of whatever nature created or suffered by Sublandlord, and that all of Sublandlord’s duties and obligations under the Prime Lease have been performed and will continue to be performed up to and including the date Sublandlord delivers possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant. Sublandlord further represents and warrants that any future obligations owed to Prime Landlord by Sublandlord, including, without limitation, the payment of Rent, will continue to be performed throughout the Term of the Prime Lease.

22. Prime Lease. Subtenant represents that it has received a true and complete copy of a redacted version of the Prime Lease and is familiar with the contents thereof.

23. Successors and Assigns. The obligations of this Sublease shall bind and benefit the successors and permitted assigns of the parties with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party hereto is named or referred to.

24. Holdover. For each and every month or partial month that Subtenant or any party claiming by, through or under Subtenant remains in occupancy of all or any portion of the Subleased Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease or after termination of Subtenant’s right to possession, Subtenant shall pay for the use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises, and not as a penalty, monthly use and occupancy equal to (a) 150% of the Sublease Base Rent payable under this Sublease immediately prior to such expiration or termination. The acceptance by Sublandlord of any lesser sum shall be construed as acceptance of a payment on account of damages for such holding over. If such holdover period extends beyond the expiration of the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord against all claims, costs, expenses, and liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by or made against Sublandlord by reason of Subtenant’s holdover in the Subleased Premises and including all losses, costs, liabilities, penalties and damages that Sublandlord incurs with respect to the Prime Lease, the Subleased Premises or to the Prime Landlord or other third party by reason of such holdover, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees, damages, and other amounts, and any use and occupancy and damages that may be payable by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord with respect to the Subleased Premises as a result of Subtenant’s holdover. Nothing in this Paragraph shall be construed as permitting Subtenant (or any other occupant) to remain in possession of the Subleased Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Sublease.

25. Notices. All notices or other communications required under this Sublease shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given and received when delivered in person (with receipt therefor), on the next business day after deposit with a recognized overnight delivery service, or on the third day after being sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the applicable recipient’s address specified in Section 1. Either party may change its address for the giving of notices by written notice given in accordance with this Section.

26. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Sublease and each of its provisions.

27. No Amendment. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall not amend this Sublease without Prime Landlord’s prior written consent, and any such amendment made or entered into without Prime Landlord’s consent shall be null and void.

28. Electronic Delivery. The parties agree that this Sublease may be transmitted between them by email, and intend that scanned signatures (such as, without limitation, DocuSign signatures or scanned signatures in .pdf format) constitute original signatures, and that a scanned agreement containing the signatures (original or scanned) of all the parties is binding on the parties.

29. Generator & Uninterruptible Power Supply. Sublandlord is the owner of an existing 800 kilowatt (“KW”) emergency generator (“Generator”) located outside of the Building, and a Centralized Uninterruptible Power Supply System (“UPS”) located within Sublandlord’s Main Data Frame (“Data Center”). Subtenant understands that the Generator and UPS are currently electrically hardwired to an electrical panel(s) which feed existing Electrical and Cooling in all, but not limited to, building Telcom, Intermediary Data Frames & Main Data Frames. Sublandlord hereby grants a license to Subtenant to use, in common with Sublandlord’s use, the Generator and UPS systems, such license to be for a period to run coterminous with the Sublease Term and otherwise pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 29. Subtenant’s right to utilize the Generator and UPS is non-exclusive, constitutes a revocable license only, and does not grant Subtenant any property or ownership rights in the Generator or UPS, or create a partnership or joint venture between Subtenant and Sublandlord. The parties acknowledge and agree that this license is personal to Subtenant, and may not be assigned by Subtenant in whole or in part (other than as part of a Permitted Transfer). Sublandlord makes no representation and extends no warranty, either expressed or implied, with respect to the Generator, including without limitation warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. If Subtenant desires to add additional hard wired electrical circuits which are connected to the Generator and UPS, above and beyond the existing electrical conditions of the Subleased Premises at the Sublease Commencement Date, Sublandlord, through its independent contractor, shall perform the work required to connect Subtenant’s electrical service to the Generator and UPS (“Sublandlord’s Generator Work”). Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord for all actual costs and expenses related to Sublandlord’s Generator Work to connect Subtenant’s additional electrical circuits or equipment to the Generator and UPS. The location of the electrical routing to the Generator shall be in Sublandlord’s sole and reasonable discretion. Excluding any costs associated with life safety in and for the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord for Sublandlord’s Generator Work within thirty (30) days after being billed therefor. Excluding any costs associated with life safety in and for the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of invoices therefor from Sublandlord Subtenant’s Proportionate Share of the annual fuel and maintenance charges for the Generator, which pro rata share shall be based on a ratio, the numerator of which is Subtenant’s total usage of the Generator capacity and the denominator of which is the aggregate usage of Generator capacity. Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that any amounts owed to Sublandlord under this Section 29 shall be deemed Additional Rent.

30. Right of First Offer.

(a) Grant of Right of First Offer. Provided no Default then exists either at the time of delivery of the ROFO Notice and at the time of Sublandlord’s delivery of the ROFO Space (as such capitalized terms are defined herein) to Subtenant, Sublandlord shall, prior to offering any space in the Building to any party, first offer to lease to Subtenant the entirety (and not a portion) of the Building in an “AS-IS” condition by delivering notice of such offer (“ROFO Notice”) to Subtenant (the “Right of First Offer”). “ROFO Space” means all of the area in the Building which is not part of the original Subleased Premises which is being leased to Subtenant pursuant to this Sublease. Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord in writing whether Subtenant elects to lease the entire ROFO Space within seven (7) business days after Sublandlord delivers to Subtenant the ROFO Notice, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE with respect to Subtenant’s notice. If Subtenant fails or is unable to timely exercise its right hereunder with respect to the ROFO Space, then such right shall lapse, time being of the essence with respect to the exercise thereof, and Sublandlord may lease all or a portion of the ROFO Space to third parties on such terms as Sublandlord may elect (subject to Section 31, below). However, notwithstanding the terms of the preceding sentence, if the economic terms change by 10% or more, the size of the ROFO Space stated in the ROFO Notice changes by 10% or more, or there are material changes in the non-economic terms, then Sublandlord covenants and agrees to again offer such ROFO Space to Subtenant with the revised terms. Additionally, if Sublandlord has not leased any such ROFO Space within six (6) months following the date of the ROFO Notice, then such ROFO Space shall again be subject to Subtenant’s Right of First Offer. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 30 to the contrary, Subtenant’s lease of the entire Building shall be on all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease. The ROFO Space is deemed to contain 56,158 rentable square feet for purposes of calculating Sublease Base Rent, but the ROFO Space will also include the remaining portions of the Building currently leased by Sublandlord pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease. Accordingly, upon exercising the Right of First Offer pursuant to the terms hereof, Subtenant will lease from Sublandlord, and Sublandlord will lease to Subtenant, the Building.

(b) Delivery of ROFO Space. Sublandlord shall deliver the ROFO Space to Subtenant on the date (the “ROFO Space Commencement Date”) that is the latest to occur of (i) the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after Sublandlord’s receipt of the ROFO Notice, (ii) the execution of the ROFO Space Amendment (as hereafter defined) by Sublandlord and Subtenant, and (iii) receipt of the consent by Prime Landlord to the ROFO Space Amendment. Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts at its sole cost and expense to obtain the consent of Prime Landlord to any ROFO Space Amendment. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all Rent due pursuant to the ROFO Space Amendment commencing on the ROFO Space Commencement Date.

(c) Amendment to Sublease to Include ROFO Space. Within 30 days after delivery of the ROFO Notice to Sublandlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant will enter into an amendment to this Sublease (the “ROFO Space Amendment”), incorporating the ROFO Space as part of the Subleased Premises, and the provisions of this Section 30, with the same term as remaining in this Sublease, and setting forth such other agreements so as to effectuate the intent of this provision. In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 30(a), (b), (d), and (e), the ROFO Space Amendment will include the following provisions:

(i)

Sublandlord will be deemed to lease, rent and demise to Subtenant the entire Building, and Subtenant will be deemed to accept from Sublandlord, the Building, subject to the terms and provisions of this Sublease;

(ii)

wherever in this Sublease there is a reference to the Subleased Premises, the Subleased Premises shall mean the entire Building;

(iii)

the Subleased Premises will be deemed to contain one hundred sixty-six thousand, nine hundred twelve (166,912) rentable square feet, and Subtenant shall pay Sublease Base Rent to Sublandlord in the amount set forth in Section 30(d) below;

(iv)

except for the obligation of Sublandlord, as tenant under the Prime Lease to pay Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses to Prime Landlord, Subtenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for each and every obligation of “Tenant” under the Prime Lease, as if Subtenant was the tenant under the Prime Lease, including, without limitation, all of the obligations of Tenant to perform maintenance, repairs, and replacements required to be performed by Tenant under the Prime Lease, and to comply with laws;

(v)

the ROFO Space shall be delivered to Subtenant on the ROFO Space Commencement Date vacant and broom-clean and, all Building systems serving the ROFO Space will be in good working order and condition, but otherwise the ROFO Space will be delivered in “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” condition;

(vi)

Subtenant will have no right to exercise any option under the Prime Lease; and

(vii)

except as expressly set forth in the amendment effectuating the provisions of this Section 30, this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect.

(d) Rent for ROFO Space. If Subtenant shall have exercised the Right of First Offer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 30, then Subtenant’s lease of the ROFO Space shall be at an annual Sublease Base Rent per square foot (calculated on a per square foot basis, and based on the ROFO Space being deemed to be 56,158 rentable square feet) in the amount of $29.50 on a full service basis, with such amount increasing by $.50 on each annual anniversary of the ROFO Space Commencement Date, which shall be payable at the times and in the manner as provided with respect to, and in addition to, the installments of monthly Sublease Base Rent set forth in this Sublease.

(e) Termination of Expansion Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, the Right of First Offer shall terminate and become null and void (a) upon any Transfer of this Sublease or the Subleased Premises (other than a Permitted Transfer), or (b) if there are fewer than twelve (12) Sublease Months remaining in the Sublease Term.

31. Right of First Refusal.

(a) Right of First Refusal. From and after the date Subtenant has declined or otherwise failed to exercise its Right of First Offer after having received a ROFO Notice, and provided that no Default has then occurred and is continuing, Subtenant shall have a right of first refusal (the “Right of First Refusal”) to lease the entirety (and not a portion) of the Building upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. If Subtenant exercises the Right of First Refusal, Subtenant shall be required to lease the entirety of the Building, even though the space described in the ROFR Notice (as hereafter defined) may comprise all or only a portion of the leasable space in the Building, and such lease of the ROFR Space will be on the terms and conditions contained in this Section 31, which may differ from the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFR Notice. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 31 to the contrary, Subtenant’s lease of the Building pursuant to the Right of First Refusal shall be on all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Sublease.

(b) Submission of ROFR Offer; Exercise Notice. If Sublandlord receives and intends to accept a bona fide ROFR Offer (“ROFR Offer”) from a prospective tenant to lease all or a portion of the remaining leasable area in the Building (the “ROFR Space”), Sublandlord shall give Subtenant written notice of same (the “ROFR Notice”). After Sublandlord notifies Subtenant in writing of an ROFR Offer, Subtenant shall have seven (7) business days to exercise the Right of First Refusal by written notice to Sublandlord (the “Exercise Notice”), TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE regarding delivery of such Exercise Notice. If Subtenant fails to notify Sublandlord of its election within such seven business-day period, and Sublandlord enters into a lease agreement with the prospective tenant, Subtenant shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First Refusal with respect to such ROFR Offer. However, notwithstanding the terms of the preceding sentence, if the economic terms change by 10% or more, the size of the ROFR Space stated in the ROFR Notice changes by 10% or more, or there are material changes in the non-economic terms, then Sublandlord covenants and agrees to again offer such ROFR Space to Subtenant with the revised terms. Additionally, if Sublandlord has not leased any such ROFR Space within six (6) months following the date of the ROFR Notice, then such ROFR Space shall again be subject to Subtenant’s Right of First Offer.

(c) Delivery of Expansion Space pursuant to Right of First Refusal. If Subtenant exercises the Right of First Refusal, Sublandlord shall deliver the Expansion Space to Subtenant on the date (the “Expansion Space/ROFR Commencement Date”) that is the latest to occur of (i) the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after Sublandlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice, (ii) the execution of the ROFR Amendment (as hereafter defined) by Sublandlord and Subtenant, and (iii) receipt of the consent by Prime Landlord to the ROFR Amendment. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all Rent due pursuant to the ROFR Amendment commencing on the Expansion Space/ROFR Commencement Date.

(d) ROFR Amendment. Within 30 days after delivery of the Exercise Notice to Sublandlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall enter into an amendment to this Sublease (the “ROFR Amendment”) memorializing Subtenant’s lease of the ROFR Space pursuant to the ROFR Offer, with the same term as remaining in this Sublease, and setting forth such other agreements so as to effectuate the intent of this provision. In addition to the provisions set forth in Sections 31(a), (b), and (c), the ROFR Amendment will include the following provisions:

(i)

(ii)

Subtenant will be responsible to perform any and all maintenance, repairs, or replacements under this Sublease (and under the Prime Lease), and to comply with laws;

(iii)

wherever in this Sublease there is a reference to the Subleased Premises, the Subleased Premises shall mean the entire Building;

(iv)

the Subleased Premises will be deemed to contain one hundred sixty-six thousand, nine hundred twelve (166,912), and Subtenant shall pay Sublease Base Rent to Sublandlord in the amount set forth in Section 30(d) below;

(v)

(vi)

the Expansion Space shall be delivered to Subtenant on the Expansion Space Commencement Date vacant and broom-clean and, all Building systems serving the Expansion Space will be in good working order and condition, but otherwise the Expansion Premises will be delivered in “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS” condition;

(vii)

Subtenant will have no right to exercise any option under the Prime Lease; and

(viii)
