rights or privileges to Sublessee that are not expressly granted to Sublessor
under the Prime Lease or Ontario Sublease. All of the covenants, agreements,
terms, provisions, conditions, obligations and rules and regulations of the
Prime Lease and Ontario Sublease are incorporated herein, with the same force
and effect as if they were fully set forth herein. Sublessee agrees to be bound
by and comply with the term of the Prime Lease and Ontario Sublease and to
perform Sublessor's obligations with respect to the Subleased Premises for the
benefit of Prime Landlord, Ontario and Sublessor, except that:
(x) Any reference in the Prime Lease to: (i) Landlord" shall mean
Prime Landlord; (ii) "Tenant" shall mean Sublessee; and (iii)
"Premises" shall mean Subleased Premises.
3
(y) Any reference in the Ontario Sublease to: (i) "Sublessor"
shall mean Ontario; (ii) "Sublessee" shall mean Sublessee
hereunder; and (iii) "Subleased Premises" shall mean the
Subleased Premises hereunder.
(z) In all, instances where consent or approval of the Prime

Ontario Sublease, as applicable, the consent or approval of
each of Prime Landlord, Ontario and Sublessor shall be
required hereunder and Sublessor agrees to send to Prime
Landlord and Ontario, at Sublessee's expense, copies of
Sublessee's written request for any consents required. In the
event Sublessor does not notify Sublessee of any objections to
a request for Sublessor's consent within ten (10) business
days of Sublessor's receipt of such request, such request
shall be deemed approved by Sublessor.
Not withstanding any other provision of this Sublease to the contrary, Sublessee
shall not be responsible for compliance with the terms and conditions of the
Prime Lease or the Ontario Sublease in connection with matters or items of
non-compliance that occurred or came into existence prior to the Term hereof;
provided that Sublessor shall not be responsible for that portion of the cost of
curing such pre-existing non-compliance to the extent that the non-compliance is
aggravated and/or the cost of such cure is increased by the acts of Sublessee
during the Term, or Sublessee's failure to notify Sublessor of such pre-existing
non-compliance promptly upon Sublessee becoming aware of the same. The Prime
Lease is attached hereto as EXHIBIT "B". The Ontario Sublease is attached hereto
as EXHIBIT "C". Each party agrees that it will not, by its act or omission to
act cause a default under the Prime Lease or Ontario Sublease. In furtherance of
the foregoing, Sublessor and Sublessee hereby confirm, each to the other, that
it is not practical in this Sublease to enumerate all of the rights and
obligations of the various parties under the Prime Lease and Ontario Sublease
and specifically to allocate those rights and obligations in this Sublease.
Accordingly, in order to afford to Sublessee the benefits of this Sublease and
of those provisions of the Prime Lease and Ontario Sublease which by their
nature are intended to benefit the party in possession of the Subleased
Promises, and in order to protect Sublessor against a default by Sublessee which
might cause a default or event of default by Sublessor under the Prime Lease or
Ontario Sublease:
A. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.03 herein, without
limiting the obligations of Sublessor under the Prime Lease or Ontario Sublease,
as between Sublessor and Sublessee, Sublessor shall pay, when and as due, all
Base Rent Additional Rent and other charges payable to Prime Landlord or Ontario
under the Prime Lease or Ontario Sublease provided Sublessee shall timely pay
all rent when and as due under this Sublease.
B. Sublessee shall perform and observe all terms, affirmative
covenants and conditions and shall refrain from performing any art which is
prohibited by the negative covenants of the Prime Lease or Ontario Sublease,
where the obligation to perform, observe or refrain from performing is by its
nature imposed upon the party in possession of the Premises and all such
affirmative covenants and negative covenants shall be deemed incorporated herein
and shall be performed or observed for the benefit of Sublessor as though
Sublessor were the landlord thereunder. If practicable, Sublessee shall perform
affirmative covenants which are also covenants of Sublessor under the Prime
Lease or Ontario Sublease at least five (5) days prior to the date when
Sublessor's performance is required under the Prime Lease and Ontario Sublease
4
and shall indemnify Sublessor and Guarantor (as defined in the Prime Lease)
against all claims, liabilities, demands, losses, actions, causes of action,
damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out
of Sublessee's failure to perform or observe any such terms, covenants or
conditions, subject however to all the express terms and conditions of this
Sublease. Sublessor shall have the right after notice and failure to cure by
Sublessee (except in events of emergency), but not the obligation to enter the
Subleased Premises to cure any defense by Sublessee under this Sublease.
C. Provided Sublessee is not in default hereunder, Sublessor
shall not agree or consent to an amendment to the Prime Lease or Ontario
Sublease, without prior written consent of Sublessee, such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. However, if Sublessee has
defaulted tinder this Sublease, for as long as such default remains uncured,
Sublessor shall not agree or consent to an amendment to the Prime Lease or
Ontario Sublease, without first notifying Sublessee of the proposed amendment.
D. Sublessor shall not be required to make any improvements,
replacements or repairs of any kind or character to the Subleased Premises.
Sublessor hereby grants to Sublessee the right to receive all of the services
and benefits with respect to the Subleased Premises which are to be provided by
Prime Landlord and/or Ontario under the Prime Lease and Ontario Sublease,
respectively; provided, however, Sublessor shall have no duty to perform any
terms, covenants, conditions to be performed or observed by the Prime Landlord
and/or Ontario under the Prime Lease and Ontario Sublease, respectively. For
example, and without limitation, Sublessor shall not be required to provide the
services or repairs which the Prime Landlord and/or Ontario is required to
provide under the Prime Lease and Ontario Sublease, respectively, Sublessor
shall have no responsibility for or be liable to Sublessee for any default,
failure or delay on the part of Prime Landlord and/or Ontario in the performance
or observance by Prime Landlord and/or Ontario of any of the terms, covenants
and conditions under the Prime Lease or Ontario Sublease, respectively, nor
shall such default by Prime Landlord and/or Ontario affect this Sublease or
waive or defer the performance of any of Sublessee's obligations hereunder
except to -the extent that such default by Prime Landlord and/or Ontario excuses
performance by Sublessor under the Prime Lease or Ontario Sublease,
respectively. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties contemplate that Prime
Landlord and/or Ontario shall, in fact, perform and observe its obligations
under the Prime Lease or Ontario Sublease, respectively, and in The event of any
default or failure of such performance by Prime Landlord and/or Ontario,
Sublessor agrees that it will, upon notice from Sublessee, make demand upon
Prime Landlord and/or Ontario to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease
or Ontario Sublease, respectively, and, provided that Sublessee specifically
agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Sublessor and provides
Sublessor with security reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor to pay such costs
and expenses, Sublessor will take appropriate legal action to enforce the
Ontario Sublease and/or the Prime Lease. In addition to the foregoing rights,
Sublessee shall also have the right to enforce any other rights or remedies
which Sublessor, as tenant of the Premises, may have under the Prime Lease or
the Ontario Sublease.
E. Nothing contained in this Sublease shall be construed to
create a privity of estate of coat-act between Sublessee, Ontario or Prime
Landlord except as may be created pursuant to EXHIBIT E.
5
F. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
Sublessee and Sublessor hereby acknowledge that the terms and provisions of this
Sublease are specifically contingent upon the delivery to Sublessee and
Sublessor of a fully executed agreement by and between Sublessee, Ontario and
Prime Landlord in the same form attached hereto as EXHIBIT "E".
G. Without limiting its obligations hereunder, Sublessee hereby
acknowledges Prime Landlord's rights as set forth in Sections 10.1, 12.1, 13.3
and 14.10 of the Prime Lease, subject to the limitation placed upon such rights
pursuant to EXHIBIT E.
H. The provisions of Section3.3 of the Prime Lease
notwithstanding, as between Sublessor and Sublessee, Sublessee shall be required
to comply, at Sublessee's expense, with all laws, ordinances, orders rules and
regulations of state, federal, municipal or other agencies or bodies
