Base Rent shall be due and payable in advance, in equal monthly installments, on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the term hereof. Sublessor hereby directs Sublessee, and Sublessee does hereby agree, that such payment of Base Rent and payment of all other amounts due and payable to Sublessor under this Sublease shall be made to (and to the order of) Capgemini U.S. LLC, Corporate Real Estate Services, One Panorama Center, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (or at such other place as the Sublessor subsequently shall designate in writing) and shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America without notice or demand, and without abatement, deduction, counter-claim or setoff. Any installment of Base Rent that is received by Sublessor after the tenth (10th) day on which it is due shall, at Sublessor’s option, be subject to a late charge of seven percent (7%) Annual Percentage Rate of the amount thereof and such charge shall be paid by Sublessee upon demand by Sublessor, it being understood that the late fee described herein shall not be deemed a liquidated damages calculation and shall not preclude any other remedy of Sublessor under this Sublease or at law. To the extent that this Sublease shall commence on a day other than the first day of any calendar month, or terminate on a day other than the last day of any calendar month, the Base Rent under this Sublease shall be prorated on a per diem basis for that particular month.
(b) In addition to payment of Base Rent as aforesaid, beginning on the Commencement Date, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor Operating Costs, as such term is defined in the Prime Sublease, with respect to the Subleased Premises, currently estimated at Ten Dollars and Seventy-Two Cents ($10.72) per rentable square feet. Furthermore, to the extent that Landlord charges Sublessor for any service, act or utility provided to the Subleased Premises beyond the basic services, acts and utilities that are required to be supplied by the Prime Sublease without charge, including, without limitation, heating, air conditioning, utilities and additional cleaning, Sublessee shall pay for such charges as additional rent, immediately upon
demand therefore to the extent such charges relate to the Subleased Premises (the “Additional Rent”).
(c) Provided Sublessee is not in default of the terms of this Sublease, monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated for the first month of Sublease (the “Abated Rent”). For purposes of clarification, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be due and owing by Sublessee no later than September 1, 2008, provided, however, that if the Commencement Date begins on a date which is later than August 1, 2008 solely as a result of a delay by either Landlord or E&Y in providing its respective consent pursuant to Section 24 below, the Base Rent and Additional Rent due and owing under this Sublease shall be prorated on a per diem basis for the particular month in which the Commencement Date occurs, and provided, further, however, that there shall be a pro rata reduction on a per diem basis on any Abated Rent for each day Sublessee has not provided its written consent to this Sublease after the passage of three (3) business days following receipt of such consent for signature, and Sublessee shall thereafter be liable for any Base Rent and Additional Rent due and owing as a result of such reduction. In the event of a default by Sublessee under the terms of this Sublease which results in either early termination of this Sublease and/or Sublessee vacating and/or being evicted from the Subleased Premises, then as part of the recovery permitted Sublessor under this Sublease, Sublessor shall be entitled to a recovery of the Abated Rent which was abated under this Section 5(c), i.e., such Abated Rent shall not be deemed to have been forgiven or abated, but shall become immediately due and payable as unpaid rent which had been earned at the date of default.
(d) All payments referenced in this Section 5, including, without limitation, Base Rent and Additional Rent are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Rent”.
6. Certain Provisions of Lease Incorporated. The following provisions of the Prime Sublease (the “Incorporated Provisions”) are explicitly incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof.

No consent, waiver, amendment, or other change by E&Y of Sublessor’s obligations and liabilities as tenant under the Prime Sublease shall reduce or limit Sublessor’s obligations and liabilities to Sublessor hereunder unless Sublessor shall have agreed in writing that such consent, waiver, amendment or change shall be effective hereunder.

Sublessee acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Prime Lease and the Prime Sublease, and agrees not to do, or cause to be done, any act (whether of omission or commission) which would result in a default under or breach of any term, covenant, provision or condition of the Prime Lease or the Prime Sublease.
