Sublandlord hereunder.
8. Sublandlord's Liability. Except as specifically provided herein,
Sublandlord shall have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to the
Premises, the condition thereof or Subtenant's property situated therein, except
for loss, injury or damage caused by Sublandlord's gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Sublandlord shall not be liable for the failure by Landlord to keep
and perform, according to the terms of the Prime Lease, Landlord's duties,
covenants, agreements, obligations, restrictions, conditions and provisions, nor
for any delay or interruption in Landlord's keeping and performing the same.
Sublandlord hereby assigns to Subtenant, for so long as this Sublease shall be
in force and effect, any and all rights of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease
with respect to the Premises and causes of action which Sublandlord may have
against Landlord with respect to the Premises due to default by Landlord under
the Prime Lease, excluding however (i) those provisions of the Prime Lease set
forth in subparagraph 5(b) hereof, and (ii) any right of self-help or rent
abatement. Sublandlord agrees to cooperate with and join Subtenant in any claims
or suits brought by Subtenant against Landlord under the Prime Lease, provided
that such participation shall be without cost or expense to Sublandlord.

tenant improvements are provided to Subtenant.
9. Sublease and Assignment. Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or
further sublease all or any portion of the Premises without the prior written
consent of Sublandlord and Landlord. Sublandlord's consent to such assignment or
sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld. This Sublease shall not be assigned
by operation of law. Subtenant shall not pledge its interest hereunder, or allow
liens to be placed on such interest, or suffer this Sublease or any portion
thereof to be attached or taken upon execution. If consent is once given by
Sublandlord to the assignment of this Sublease or sublease of the Premises or
any interest therein, Sublandlord shall not be barred from subsequently refusing
to consent to any further assignment or sublease. Any attempt to sell, assign or
sublet without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Landlord shall be
deemed a default by Subtenant.
10. Damage, Destruction or Condemnation. In the event of damage or
destruction of the Premises or the taking of all or any part thereof under the
power of eminent domain, this Sublease shall terminate only if the Prime Lease
is terminated as a result thereof, and the rent
4
payable hereunder shall xxxxx only as long as and to the extent that the rent
due from Sublandlord to Landlord under the Prime Lease with respect to the
Premises abates as a result thereof. Subtenant shall have no claim to insurance
or condemnation proceeds (other than moving expenses or a taking of or damage to
Subtenant's fixtures or personal property other than its leasehold interest in
the Premises and then only to the extent the same does not diminish any award
payable to Landlord).
11. Release and Waiver of Subrogation. To the extent its insurance coverage
is not thereby impaired, Sublandlord and Subtenant each hereby releases all
causes of action and rights of recovery against each other and their respective
agents, officers and employees for any loss, regardless of cause or origin, to
the extent of any recovery to either party from any policy(s) of insurance
carried or required to be carried hereunder. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree
that any policies presently existing or obtained on or after the date hereof
(including renewals of present policies) shall include a clause or endorsement
to the effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair said
policies or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder.
12. Alterations, Improvements. No alterations, additions or improvements in
or upon the Premises shall be made by Subtenant without the prior written
consent by Sublandlord and, to the extent required by Section 9 of the Prime
Lease, the consent of Landlord. Subtenant shall comply with the provisions of
Section 9 of the Prime Lease with respect to any such alterations, additions or
improvements. All alterations, additions and improvements shall be made in
accordance with applicable building codes and laws. Upon the termination of the
term hereof, all such alterations, additions and improvements (except personal
property, business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, furniture and
movable partitions owned by Subtenant) shall be and remain part of the Premises
and be surrendered therewith without disturbance, molestation or injury and
shall not be removed by Subtenant unless such removal is required by
Sublandlord, in which case Subtenant shall remove the same and restore the
Premises to the same condition in which they were on the date hereof, reasonable
wear and tear excepted. If Subtenant shall fail to remove the same and restore
the Premises, then Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to, do so at the
expense of Subtenant. Personal property, business and trade fixtures, machinery
and equipment, furniture and movable partitions owned by Subtenant shall be and
remain the property of Subtenant and may be removed by Subtenant at any time
during the term hereof when Subtenant is not in default hereunder, and in any
event, shall be removed on or before the expiration of the term hereof.
Subtenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. Subtenant covenants
and agrees to indemnify, protect and defend Sublandlord against, and hold
Sublandlord harmless from, all liens, whether for labor or materials arising as
the result of alterations, additions, repairs or improvements to the Premises
made by Subtenant during the term of this Sublease.
13. Default. If any rent reserved or other monetary payment referred to
herein, or any part thereof, whether the same be demanded or not, shall remain
unpaid for a period of five (5) days from the date when due hereunder; or if any
other term, condition or covenant of this Sublease, express or implied on the
part of Subtenant to be kept or performed, shall be violated or neglected, and
if Subtenant shall fail to cure the same within ten (10) days from the date of
written notice from Sublandlord to Subtenant specifying the violation; or if the
Premises or
5
Subtenant's interest therein shall be taken on execution or other process of
law; or in the event of bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
dissolution or similar proceedings with respect to Subtenant, or if Subtenant
shall enter into a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or if any
default under the Prime Lease shall occur with respect to Subtenant or the
performance by Subtenant of any of its covenants and obligations under this
Sublease, then and in any of said cases, Subtenant shall be deemed in default,
and Sublandlord shall have the following rights and remedies against Subtenant
(in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or in equity): (i)
to terminate this Sublease, (ii) to cure or attempt to cure the default,
whereupon Subtenant shall upon demand reimburse Sublandlord for all reasonable
costs thus expended together with interest thereon at the lesser rate (the
"Interest Rate") of the highest rate permitted by law or 14% per annum, (iii) to
xxx for Subtenant's performance, whereupon Subtenant shall upon demand reimburse
Sublandlord for all reasonable costs thus expended together with interest
thereon at the Interest Rate; (iv) to exercise all remedies set forth in the
Prime Lease as if Sublandlord were the Landlord and Subtenant were the Tenant
thereunder, or (v) to re-enter and take possession of the Premises, and to
remove any property therein, without liability for damage to, and without the
obligation to store such property but may store same at Subtenant's expense. In
the event of such re-entry, Sublandlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
relet the Premises, or any part thereof, from time to time, in the name of
Sublandlord or Subtenant, without further notice, for such term or terms, on
such conditions and for such uses and purposes as Sublandlord, in its sole
discretion, may determine, and Sublandlord may collect and receive all rents
derived therefrom and apply the same, after deduction of all appropriate
expenses (including broker's, consultant's and attorney's fees, if incurred, and
the expenses of putting the property in leasable condition), to the payment of
the rent and other sums payable hereunder, Subtenant remaining liable for any
deficiency. Sublandlord shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to
relet the Premises or any part thereof, or for failure to collect any rent
connected therewith. The exercise by Sublandlord of any remedy shall not
preclude the subsequent or simultaneous exercise of any other remedy. No delay
in exercising any remedy shall be deemed a waiver thereof. In addition, any
payment not made when due shall bear interest until paid at the Interest Rate.

or served by either party hereto upon the other shall be deemed given or served

Sublease, or upon any earlier termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall quit

Premises all personal property located therein belonging to Subtenant, and
either party may discard such debris, rubbish and personal property or place
such personal property in storage in a public warehouse, all at the expense and
risk of Subtenant.
16. Termination of Prime Lease. It is understood and agreed by and between
the parties hereto that the existence of this Sublease is dependent and
conditioned upon the continued existence of the Prime Lease and this Sublease
shall automatically terminate on the termination, cancellation or expiration of

17. Waiver. No provision of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been
waived unless such waiver is in writing signed by the party charged with such
waiver. A waiver by Sublandlord of any default, breach or failure of Subtenant
under this Sublease shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent or
different default, breach or failure.
18. Access to the Premises. Subtenant shall allow Sublandlord and/or
Landlord, and the agents, employees and contractors of either, the free access
to the Premises for the purposes
7

the provisions of Section 28 of the Prime Lease.
19. Holding Over. If Subtenant or anyone claiming under Subtenant holds
over after the expiration or earlier termination of the term hereof without the
express written consent of Sublandlord, Subtenant shall become a tenant at
sufferance only, at the rental rate per square foot in effect under the Prime
Lease upon the date of such expiration, plus any amount payable to Landlord as a
result of such holdover, including any holdover costs for the Premises described
in the Prime Lease, and otherwise upon the terms, covenants and conditions
herein specified, so far as applicable. Acceptance by Sublandlord of rent after
such termination shall not constitute a consent to a holdover hereunder or
result in a renewal. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph are in addition
to and do not affect Sublandlord's right of reentry or any other rights of
Sublandlord hereunder or as otherwise provided by law and Subtenant shall be
liable to Sublandlord for any holding over after the expiration or earlier
termination of the term hereof.
20. Default by Sublandlord. If the Sublandlord shall fail to perform any or
all of the obligations imposed on it under this Sublease, or if the Sublandlord
should default under the Prime Lease whereby the Landlord terminates the Prime
Lease, then Subtenant may seek to recover from Sublandlord any and all losses or
claims relating to those direct, actual and out of pocket damages suffered by
Subtenant (but not as consequential or punitive damages) including but not
limited to reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and cost of litigation
arising from Sublandlord's default/breach of either the Prime Lease or this
Sublease. All remedies afforded to the Subtenant shall be cumulative, and the
failure of Subtenant to act shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver by
Subtenant.

conditions of this Sublease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the successors and assigns of Sublandlord and on the successors and assigns of
