5	Rent. Minimum Rent. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor minimum rent, without deduction, setoff, notice, or demand (except as set forth herein), according to the following schedule (“Minimum Rent”):


Sublease Period	Minimum Rent/RSF	Monthly Minimum Rent
Commencement Date – Month 12*	$1.75/RSF	$9,248.75

Sublease Period	Minimum Rent/RSF	Monthly Minimum Rent
Month 25 – Month 36	$1.86/RSF	$9,812.00
Month 37 – Termination Date	$1.91/RSF	$10,106.36

* Minimum Rent is to xxxxx for the first four (4) full months of the Sublease Term (“Free Rent Period”), with the first installment of Minimum Rent being due upon execution of this Sublease to be applied to the Minimum Rent due for the fifth (5th) full Sublease month (the “Rent Commencement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event the Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of the month, then Sublessee shall be required to pay Minimum Rent for the remaining number of days in the month after the expiration of the Free Rent Period, being due on or before said date.

Minimum Rent shall be paid, in advance, on the first day of each month of the Term. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor upon execution of this Sublease (i) the sum of Nine Thousand Two Hundred Forty-Eight and 75/100 Dollars ($9,248.75) to be applied to the Minimum Rent due for the fifth (5th) full month following the Rent Commencement Date, and (ii) Fifteen Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($15,000.00) as consideration for the use and title of the FF&E in the Premises pursuant to Section 29(a) below.

Late Charges. In the event Sublessee fails to pay Minimum Rent on or before the fifth day of the month during the Sublease Term, a late charge equal to the greater of five percent (5%) of the monthly Minimum Rent or One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) will be due as “Additional Rent”. In addition, all amounts of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent (collectively, “Rent”) which remain due and unpaid for more than ten (10) days after the same become due shall bear interest at a rate of one percent (1%) per month. Sublessee agrees to tender all late Rents by cashier’s check, certified check, or money order. In the event Sublessee’s rent check is dishonored by the bank, Sublessee agrees to pay Sublessor $25.00 as a handling charge and, if applicable, the late charge, and Sublessee shall deliver said monies to Sublessor as specified in Paragraph 5 above. Dishonored checks must be replaced by cashier’s check, certified check or money order. In the event more than one check is dishonored during the Sublease Term, Sublessee agrees to pay all future Rents and charges in the form of cashier’s check, certified check, or money order. Any other amounts payable to Sublessor under this Sublease, with the exception of Rent, shall be considered past due thirty (30) days from Sublessor’s billing date and Sublessee shall pay a monthly service charge of five percent (5%) of the amount past due for that and each subsequent month that the amount remains past due. The parties agree that such charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs the Sublessor will incur by reason of such late payment and/or returned check.

Security Deposit. On the date of execution of this Sublease by Sublessee, Sublessee will pay to Sublessor, a security deposit in the amount of Ten Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Three and 63/100 Dollars ($10,173.63) (the “Security Deposit”) as security for the full and faithful performance by Sublessee of each and every term, provision, covenant and condition of this Sublease.

If Sublessor shall so use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit, Sublessee shall upon demand immediately deposit with Sublessor a sum equal to the amount so used, applied or retained in

order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. The Security Deposit, less any amounts subtracted from the Security Deposit due to Sublessee’s default or other damage caused to the Premises, shall be returned to Sublessee within 30 days following the expiration or sooner termination of the Sublease.

Acceptance of Premises and Release of Claims. Sublessor, Broker and Co-Broker have made no representations or promises with respect to the Premises, or this Sublease except as herein expressly set forth. The taking of Early Occupancy or Possession, whichever is sooner, of the Premises by Sublessee shall be evidence that Sublessee accepts the Premises “as is” and that the Premises are suitable for the use intended by Sublessee and were in satisfactory condition at the time such possession was so taken. Sublessee further acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to adequately inspect the Premises prior to the execution of this Sublease and subject to the thirty (30) day warranty period contained in Section 4(a) above, Sublessee fully releases Sublessor, its employees, officers, directors, shareholders, representatives and agents from any and all costs, losses, liabilities, damages, expenses, demands, claims, counterclaims, actions or causes of action arising from or related to any defects or other conditions affecting the Premises (“Claims”) that Sublessee, its employees or agents now has or may in the future have against Sublessor, regardless of whether such Claims are known or unknown, latent or patent, existing now or in the future, and whether such Claims arise or may arise pursuant to any existing or future federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance, code, directive, or order under common law or statutory law.

Use of Premises. Sublessee shall use the Premises for general office purposes and other purposes permitted by the Master Lease only and for no other purpose. Sublessee shall be responsible to Sublessor and Master Lessor for all zoning compliance on the Premises or any claims, liabilities, damages and losses against Sublessor or Master Lessor as a result of Sublessee’s specific use of the Premises, and agrees to and shall indemnify, protect and save harmless the Sublessor from and against any claims, liabilities, damages and losses asserted against Sublessor as a result of Sublessee’s specific use of the Premises or any non-compliance with or violations of any zoning regulations.

10	Compliance with Master Lease.

a. This Sublease and all of the covenants and agreements of Sublessor and all rights and privileges of Sublessee are subject to (1) all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease; (2) the performance and observance by Master Lessor of all of its obligations and agreements under the Master Lease; and (3) all of the rights and privileges of Master Lessor and Sublessor under the Master Lease. The terms and conditions contained in the Master Lease are incorporated as terms and conditions of this Sublease, except for rent, term, security deposit and as otherwise set forth herein. If there is a conflict between the terms of this Sublease and the Master Lease, then as between Sublessor and Sublessee, the terms of this Sublease shall control. Sublessee shall pay the Minimum Rent directly to Sublessor, with Sublessor being responsible for paying directly to Master Lessor all Base Rent and Rent Adjustments due under the Master Lease.

b. Sublessee shall not commit or permit to be committed on the Premises any act or omission that violates any term or condition of the Master Lease.

c. Except as otherwise provided herein, Sublessor grants to Sublessee, for the duration of the Term of this Sublease, all of the rights and privileges granted Sublessor under the Master Lease as it relates to the Premises. Sublessor does not assume or agree to perform for Sublessee’s benefit any of the duties or obligations of the Master Lessor under the Master Lease.

d. Sublessee indemnifies and agrees to hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages and losses arising by reason of the breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be observed or performed by Sublessee under the Master Lease or this Sublease and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred on account of the same. Sublessor indemnifies and agrees to hold Sublessee harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages and losses arising by reason of the breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be observed or performed by Sublessor under the Master Lease or this Sublease (which breach is not caused by Sublessee) and all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred on account of the same.

e. On the Termination Date, this Sublease shall terminate and the parties shall be relieved of any further liability or obligation under this Sublease, provided however, that if the Master Lease terminates as a result of a default or breach by Sublessor or Sublessee under this Sublease and/or the Master Lease, then the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for the damage suffered as a result of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Lease gives Master Lessor or Sublessor any right to terminate the Master Lease in the event of the partial or total damage, destruction, or condemnation of the Premises or the Building of which the Premises are a part, the exercise of such right by Master Lessor or Sublessor shall not constitute a default or breach hereunder.

f. Sublessor shall not modify, amend or terminate the Master Lease without Sublessee’s prior written consent.

Assignment and Subletting. Except for a Permitted Transfer (as defined in the Master Lease), Sublessee shall not assign this Sublease or further sublet all or any part of the Premises without the prior written consent of Sublessor (and without the prior written consent of Master Lessor, if such is required under the terms of the Master Lease), which Sublessor’s consent may be withheld in its reasonable discretion.

Indemnity & Insurance. Sublessee agrees to and hereby does indemnify and save Master Lessor and Sublessor harmless against all claims for damages to persons or property by reason of Sublessee’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and all expenses incurred by Master Lessor and Sublessor because thereof, including attorney’s fees and court costs. Supplementing the foregoing and in addition thereto, Sublessee shall during the Term of this Sublease, and at Sublessee’s expense, maintain in full force and effect comprehensive general liability insurance with the minimum amount of coverage required of “Tenant” in the Master Lease, which insurance shall contain a special endorsement recognizing and insuring any liability accruing to Sublessee under the first sentence of this Paragraph 12, and naming Master Lessor and Sublessor as additional insureds. Sublessee shall also maintain such other insurance required to be maintained by Sublessor under the Master Lease, naming Master Lessor and Sublessor as additional insureds. Sublessee shall provide evidence of such insurance to Sublessor prior to the Commencement Date. Sublessor and Sublessee each hereby release and relieve the other, and waive its right of recovery, for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured against which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether due to the negligence of Sublessor or Sublessee or their Brokers, employees, contractors and/or invitees to the extent that such loss or damage is within the policy limits of said comprehensive general liability insurance. Sublessor and Sublessee shall, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required, give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Sublease.

13	Access to Premises. Sublessor or its agents shall have the right upon at least 24 hours’ prior notice to enter upon the Premises at all reasonable hours for the purpose of inspecting same.

Sublessee’s Personal Property. Sublessor shall not be liable for any damages to fixtures, merchandise or other personal property or inventories of Sublessee found or located within the Premises caused by fire, theft, misappropriation, or any other cause whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. Any such personal property placed on the Premises shall be at Sublessee’ s sole risk.

15	Default and Remedies.

a. In addition to the items of Default that Sublessee is subject to under the Master Lease, the following events shall constitute a Default of this Sublease:

(i) The Minimum Rent, Additional Rent or any other rent or any part thereof is at anytime in arrears and unpaid for three (3) business days after written notice that the same is past due hereunder;

(ii) Sublessee has failed to keep and perform any of the other covenants and agreements on its part to be kept and performed under this Sublease or as required by this Sublease under the Master Lease which constitute defaults under the Master Lease, and such failure has not been cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Sublessor; provided, however, that if the nature of Sublessee’s obligation is such that more than 30 days are required for its performance, then Sublessee shall not be deemed to be in Default if it commences performance within the 30 day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure to completion;

(iii) Sublessee abandons the Premises during the Term thereof;

b. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the above events constituting a Default of this Sublease, or any other Default of the Master Lease, if the Sublessee is required by the terms of this Sublease, to observe, keep and perform said covenants under the Master Lease, Sublessor, at its option, may do any one or more or all of the following:

(i) Subject to applicable law, declare the balance of all Rent and all amounts due hereunder immediately due and payable, and upon such declaration such accelerated Rent plus the aggregate amount of any installments of Rent and other sums then accrued and unpaid shall be due and payable immediately;

(ii) Terminate this Sublease and re-enter the Premises and again have, repossess and enjoy the same with all the improvements then located thereon as if this Sublease had not been made, in which event, this Sublease and everything herein contained on the part of the Sublessor to be kept and performed shall cease and be utterly void, without prejudice, however, to the Sublessor’s right of action for arrears of rent and breach of covenant; and/or

(iii) Re-let the Premises on such terms as Sublessor may from time to time elect and apply the net proceeds toward the Sublessee’s obligations hereunder, without prejudice, however, to Sublessor’s right of action for arrears of rent and breach of covenant.

c. Sublessee shall pay and indemnify Sublessor against all legal costs and charges, including counsel fees lawfully and reasonably incurred in obtaining possession of the Premises after a default of Sublessee or after Sublessee’s default under the Master Lease or in surrendering possession of the Premises upon expiration or earlier termination of the term of the Sublease, or enforcing any covenant of this Sublease.

Sublessor’s Right to Cure Sublessee’s Default. Sublessee shall not do or suffer or permit anything to be done which would cause the Master Lease to be terminated, or forfeited by virtue of any rights of termination, or forfeiture reserved or vested in Lessor, or by law or in equity. If Sublessee shall default beyond any notice and cure period in the performance of any of its obligations under this Sublease or under the Master Lease, Sublessor, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may remedy such default for the account and at the expense of Sublessee upon prior notice. If Sublessor makes any expenditure or incurs any obligation for the payment of money in connection therewith, such sums paid or obligations incurred shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be paid to Sublessor by Sublessee on demand.

Surrender of Premises. Upon the expiration or other termination of the Term, Sublessee covenants to quit and surrender to Sublessor or Lessor, as the case may be, the Premises, broom clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted, and at Sublessee’s expense to remove all property of Sublessee. Any property not so removed shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Sublessee and may be retained or disposed of at Sublessee’s expense by Sublessor or Lessor, as either may desire.

Holding Over. In the event Sublessee remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of this Sublease, then in addition to the damages due and owing by Sublessee to Master Lessor under the Master Lease, Sublessee shall be required to pay directly to Master Lessor the Holdover Rent provided for in the Master Lease.
