This
Sublease shall not become operative until and unless the Prime Landlord has
given to Sublandlord its consent hereto. Sublandlord shall not be responsible
for Prime Landlord s failure to consent to this Sublease but
shall endeavor in good faith to obtain Prime Landlord s consent. Should
Prime Landlord not consent to this Sublease, each party shall be released from
all obligations with respect hereto and neither party shall have any further
rights in law or in equity with respect to this Sublease.
29. ENTIRE
AGREEMENT
This
Sublease (which includes each of the Exhibits attached hereto) contains the
entire agreement between the parties and all prior negotiations and agreements
are merged into this Sublease. This Sublease may not be changed, modified,
terminated or discharged, in whole or in part, nor any of its provisions waived
except by a written instrument which (a) shall expressly refer to this Sublease
and (b) shall be executed all
parties hereto.

30. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) Subtenant
shall indemnify,
defend and hold
Sublandlord and its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees,
harmless from and against all claims, causes of action, liabilities, losses,
costs and expenses (including
attorney s fees) arising
from or in connection with any
injury or damage to any person or property which occurs in the
Subleased Premises, except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Sublandlord.
(b) Sublandlord
shall indemnify, defend and hold Subtenant and its agents, employees,
contractors, licensees or invitees, harmless from and against all claims, causes
of action, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including attorney s fees)
arising from or in connection with any injury or damage to any person or
property which occurs as a result of Sublandlord s use and occupancy of the
Building (other than the Subleased Premises, except to the extent caused by
Sublandlord s gross negligence or willful misconduct).
The
parties hereto, release each other and their respective agents, employees,
successors and assigns from all liability for damage to any property that is
caused by or results from a risk which is actually insured against or which
would normally be covered by the standard form of all risk property insurance,
without regard to the negligence of the entity so released. Each party shall use
its best efforts to cause each insurance policy it obtains to provide that the
insurer thereunder waives all right of recovery by way of subrogation as
required herein in connection with any damage covered by the policy. In
addition, Sublandlord shall request that Prime Landlord obtain a similar
subrogation waiver from Prime Landlord s insurer for the benefit of Subtenant;
however, Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant if such subrogation
waiver is not obtained from Prime Landlord s insurer.
(b) Sublandlord
will indemnify, defend, protect, and hold Subtenant and each of Subtenant s
employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, losses or
expenses (including attorney s fees) or death of or injury to any person or
damage to any property whatsoever, arising or caused in while or in part,
directly or indirectly by:
(i) the
presence in, on, under or about the Subleased Premises or discharge in or from
the Subleased Premises of any Hazardous Materials placed in, under or about, the
Subleased Premises by Sublandlord or at Sublandl
(ii) Sublandlord
s use, analysis, storage, transportation, disposal, release, threatened release,
discharge or generation of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about or from
the Subleased Premises; or
(iii) Sublandlord
s failure to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law applicable under the Prime
Lease to Sublandlord.
(c) Subtenant
will indemnify, defend, protect, and hold Sublandlord and each of Sublandlord s
employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, losses or
expenses (including attorney s fees) or death of or injury to any person or
damage to any property whatsoever, arising or caused in while or in part,
directly or indirectly by:
(i) the
presence in, on, under or about the Subleased Premises or discharge in or from
the Subleased Premises of any Hazardous Materials placed in, under or about, the
Subleased Premises by Subtenant or at Subtenant s direction; or
(ii) Subtenant
s use, analysis, storage, transportation, disposal, release, threatened release,
discharge or generation of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about or from
the Subleased Premises; or
(iii) Subtenant
s failure to comply with any Hazardous Materials Law applicable under the Prime
Lease to Subtenant.

event shall Subtenant s obligation to surrender the Subleased Premises require
Subtenant to repair or restore the Subleased Premises to a condition better than

represents and warrants that, to the best of Sublandlord s actual knowledge,
there are no Hazardous Materials on or about the Subleased
Premises.

time period reflected in the Prime Lease, prior to Subtenant s nonperformance
being deemed a default under this Sublease, Subtenant shall have (i) five (5)
days from the date any monetary obligation is due and owing to Sublandlord to
cure same and (ii) thirty (30) days from receipt of written notice from
Sublandlord that a nonmonetary obligation has not been performed to cure same

(30) day period and Subtenant is diligently pursuing said cure, the cure period
