rent or other amounts due pursuant to paragraph 2 of the Base Lease upon timely
performance by Sublessee of its rental obligations stated in paragraph 2 hereof,
or (ii) the voluntary agreement of Sublessor and Base Landlord, then this

(c) Prior to the occupancy of the Premises by Sublessee,

identify any existing conditions in need of repair or replacement. The condition
of the Premises at such inspection shall be called the "Baseline Condition". The
items identified will be attached to this Sublease Agreement as Exhibit I and
Sublessee and Sublessor agree that the repair and/or replacement thereof will
not be Sublessee's responsibility so long as the physical condition in question
11
is not further damaged or deteriorated due to Sublessee's use. Except as set
forth in paragraph 6 hereto, upon the expiration or earlier termination of the
Sublease Term, Sublessee shall return the Premises to its condition and repair
