If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or ends on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, Rent for the first and/or last fractional month of the Term shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month and the actual number of days elapsed.

If the Building or the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, is damaged by fire or other casualty, then during the period the Subleased Premises are rendered unusable by such damage, Sublessee shall be entitled to a reduction in Rent in the proportion that the area of the Subleased Premises rendered unusable by such damage bears to the total area of the Subleased Premises.

If Sublessor shall obtain the consent of Master Lessor, Sublessee shall comply with all the provisions of the Master Lease relating to alterations.
