NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. RECITALS. The foregoing recitals are hereby incorporated into this Sublease by this reference as if fully set forth herein.
2. SUBLEASED PREMISES. Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord, the Subleased Premises. Additionally, Subtenant is hereby granted the nonexclusive right to use the Common Areas, to the extent of Sublandlord’s rights to use of the same pursuant to the Master Lease, in common with other tenants in the Project throughout the Sublease Term (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Sublease: (a) Sublandlord shall have exclusive use and possession of the reception area and four conference rooms adjacent to, but not a part of, the Subleased Premises, including the right to modify, reconfigure or eliminate such reception area and conference rooms (subject to Master Landlord’s rights under the Master Lease), and (b)

Subtenant covenants that its use of the Subleased Premises and Common Areas (as permitted herein) shall at all times comply with any and all terms, conditions and provisions of the Master Lease and with any rules and regulations established by Master Landlord or Sublandlord from time to time. Subtenant shall have the right to secure all entrances into the Subleased Premises subject to Master Landlord’s approval of any change to the existing security system, locks or keys and Master Landlord’s rules and regulations regarding security of the Building as Master Landlord may publish and revise from time to time. The rentable square footage of the 500 Building Master Premises and Subleased Premises is hereby agreed by the parties to be as set forth in Recitals B and C above and shall not be subject to remeasurement.
3. SUBLEASE TERM. The term of this Sublease (the “Sublease Term”) shall commence upon the later of: (a) the date Sublandlord tenders possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant, (b) the date Master Landlord’s written consent to this Sublease is delivered to Subtenant, or (c) February 3, 2016 (the “Commencement Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant may enter upon the Subleased Premises prior to the Commencement Date for the purpose of preparing the Subleased Premises for occupancy, provided that: (a) Sublandlord gives its prior written consent to such early occupancy, (b) Master Landlord’s written consent to this Sublease has been delivered to Subtenant, (c) Subtenant furnishes to Sublandlord evidence satisfactory to Sublandlord in advance that insurance coverages required of Subtenant under the provisions of Article 10 of the Master Lease are in effect (or, if consented to by Master Landlord, such other commercially reasonable amounts of insurance as Master Landlord permits Subtenant to carry under its direct-lease with Master Landlord for other premises at the Project, subject to Sublandlord’s reasonable approval), and (d) such entry shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of this Sublease and the Master Lease other than the payment of Rent (as defined below). Unless earlier terminated under any provision of the Master Lease or this Sublease, the Sublease Term shall continue until the last day of the month in which the twenty-four (24) month anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs (the “Expiration Date”). Within ten (10) days after the Commencement Date, Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a notice of Sublease Term dates in the form set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, which notice Subtenant shall execute and return to Sublandlord within ten (10) days of receipt thereof. If Subtenant fails to execute and return a factually accurate notice within such ten-day period, Subtenant shall be deemed to have approved and confirmed the dates set forth therein.

5. ADDITIONAL RENT. In addition to paying Base Rent, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as additional rent, Subtenant’s Share of Direct Expenses on a monthly basis
throughout the Sublease Term. As used in this Sublease, “Subtenant’s Share of Direct Expenses” means an amount which equals (a) 80% (which is the ratio that the rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises bears to the rentable square footage of the 500 Building Master Premises), multiplied by (b) the Direct Expenses attributable to the 500 Building Master Premises payable by Sublandlord to Master Landlord pursuant to Article 4 of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall promptly forward to Subtenant all Statements and Estimate Statements for the 500 Building Master Premises that Sublandlord receives from Master Landlord. If Sublandlord receives a credit for overpayment of Direct Expenses attributable to the 500 Building Master Premises (“Direct Expense Credit”) pursuant to Section 4.4.1 of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall receive a credit against the next installment of Rent due under this Sublease in an amount equal to 80% multiplied by the total Direct Expense Credit or, if the Sublease Term has ended, Sublandlord shall pay such amount to Subtenant within thirty (30) days of Sublandlord’s receipt of the Direct Expense Credit. If Sublandlord makes a payment to Master Landlord due to an underpayment of Direct Expenses attributable to the 500 Building Master Premises (“Direct Expense Shortfall”) pursuant to Section 4.4.1 of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord an amount equal to 80% multiplied by the total Direct Expense Shortfall together with the next installment of Rent due or, if the Sublease Term has ended, Subtenant shall pay such amount to Sublandlord within thirty (30) days of Subtenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor. Provided that no Event of Default (as defined in Section 22) has occurred, Subtenant shall have the right to require Sublandlord to exercise its rights under Section 4.6 of the Master Lease to review Master Landlord’s books and records related to Expenses, provided that Subtenant shall pay all costs of such review (subject to Master Landlord’s reimbursement, if applicable, as set forth in said Section).
Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, Subtenant’s Share of Direct Expenses shall not include: (a) any charges that apply solely to the portion of the Master Premises that does not include the Subleased Premises and is not sublet by Subtenant hereunder (the “Reserved Premises”) (e.g., real estate taxes on leasehold improvements therein), (b) late fees or penalties assessed against Sublandlord as a result of Sublandlord’s acts or omissions, (c) charges incurred as a result of excess or additional services specifically requested by Sublandlord for the Reserved Premises or for or including the Subleased Premises without Subtenant’s consent, and (d) the cost of utilities and services consumed by Sublandlord in excess of the reasonable and normal use of a comparable office user in the Building (such as for labs or server rooms in the Reserved Premises), in which event Sublandlord shall reasonably apportion the utilities portion of the Direct Expenses payable by Subtenant.
Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, together with its payment of Subtenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, 100% of the cost of: (a) any charges that apply solely to the Subleased Premises (e.g., real estate taxes on leasehold improvements therein), (b) late fees or penalties assessed against Sublandlord or Master Landlord as a result of Subtenant’s acts or omissions, (c) charges incurred as a result of excess or additional services specifically requested by Subtenant for the Subleased Premises or for or including the Master Premises without Sublandlord’s consent, and (d) the cost of utilities and services consumed by Subtenant in excess of the reasonable and normal use of a comparable office user in the Building (such as for labs or server rooms in the Subleased Premises), in which event Sublandlord shall reasonably apportion the utilities portion of the Direct Expenses payable by Subtenant.
6. PAYMENT OF RENT. Base Rent, Subtenant’s Share of Direct Expenses and any other amounts payable by Subtenant in connection with this Sublease shall be referred to in this Sublease as “Rent”. Rent shall be due and payable to Sublandlord without prior written notice or demand, in advance, without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Sublease Term. Such Rent shall be payable at Sublandlord’s address set forth herein, or at such other place as Sublandlord may designate in writing to Subtenant. Rent for any period during this Sublease Term that is less than one (1) month shall be prorated based on a thirty (30) day month. Section 25 of the Master Lease is hereby incorporated and applies with respect to late payments of Rent by Subtenant hereunder.
7. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord on or before the Effective Date the sum of Seventy-Five Thousand Six Hundred Fifteen and 00/100 Dollars ($75,615.00) (the “Security Deposit”), which sum shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease to be kept and performed by Subtenant during the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending upon the expiration or termination of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease. If an Event of Default (as defined below) occurs with respect to any provision of this Sublease, including any provision relating to the payment of Rent, then Sublandlord may, but shall not be required to, use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage that Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, then Subtenant shall, within ten (10) days following demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Subtenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. TENANT HEREBY WAIVES THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 1950.7 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME.
8. CONDITION OF SUBLEASED PREMISES. Subtenant (i) acknowledges that Subtenant has conducted a thorough inspection of the Subleased Premises and (ii) agrees that the Subleased Premises are in good condition and repair and Subtenant accepts the Subleased Premises in their current “as is” condition with all faults. Subtenant hereby waives all warranties, whether express or implied (including warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose), with respect to the Subleased Premises or any furniture, fixtures and equipment located therein. Sublandlord makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to the Subleased Premises, and Subtenant shall have full responsibility for making any desired repairs, installations, alterations or additions to the Subleased Premises. Any installations, alterations or additions that Subtenant desires to make to the Subleased Premises shall be subject to the prior written approval of both Master Landlord and Sublandlord (it being agreed that Sublandlord may grant or withhold its consent thereto in its sole and absolute discretion) and shall otherwise be constructed in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease (including without limitation Section 7.1 and Article 8 of the Master Lease). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises to Subtenant professionally cleaned, with all Subleased Premises and Building systems which Sublandlord is responsible for under the Master Lease in good working condition.
9. FURNITURE.
9.1 Use of Furniture. Subtenant may utilize the furniture and audio-visual equipment owned by Sublandlord and located in the Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date (the “Furniture”) during the Sublease Term. The Furniture is itemized in Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Inventory”). If Subtenant elects not to use some or all of the Furniture, it may store the Furniture offsite, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, and risk of loss; provided, however that Subtenant may not remove any of the Furniture comprising audio-visual equipment. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred (as defined in Section 22), Sublandlord shall not remove the Furniture listed on the Inventory during the Sublease Term.
9.2 Repair of Audio-Visual Equipment. If any of the Furniture comprising audio-visual equipment is in need of service or repair, Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord of the need for such repair or service (or in the case of any regularly required servicing, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant of its intent to service such equipment) and Sublandlord will use reasonable efforts to promptly repair or service such equipment. Subtenant shall promptly reimburse Sublandlord for the reasonable repair or service costs incurred by Sublandlord upon request. Sublandlord shall not be in default of this Section 9.2 unless Sublandlord fails to repair or service such equipment within thirty (30) days of its receipt of written notice from Subtenant, or, if such repair or servicing is not reasonably capable of being completed within such thirty (30) day period, Sublandlord has not commenced the repair or service within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter is not diligently completing the same; provided, however, that Subtenant’s sole remedy at law or equity for Landlord’s breach of this Section 9.2 shall be to complete the repair and servicing and offset the Rent next coming due by the actual cost of such repair or servicing.
9.3 Return of Furniture. At the end of the Sublease Term, Subtenant shall deliver the Furniture to Sublandlord in the Subleased Premises, in the same condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If Subtenant shall fail to return some or all of the Furniture, or if some or all of the Furniture is not returned in the condition required hereunder, Subtenant shall promptly replace such Furniture with like furniture of equal or greater value and of comparable utility and function.
9.4 Shared IT Equipment. The parties shall share certain data cabling and IT equipment pursuant to the terms set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto.
10. USE. The Subleased Premises are to be used solely for the uses permissible under the Master Lease (including without limitation Article 5 of the Master Lease), and for no other use. Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises shall at all times comply with the requirements of the Master Lease (including without limitation those requirements set forth in Section 5.4.1 of the Master Lease), and Subtenant shall not use the Subleased Premises in a manner that is in any way inconsistent with the Master Lease or in any way that disturbs Sublandlord’s use of the Master Premises or that might cause Sublandlord to be in breach of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall not commit or allow to be committed any waste upon the Building or Subleased Premises, or any public or private nuisance or act which is unlawful. Subtenant shall not commit any act that will increase the then existing rate of insurance on the Subleased Premises or the Master Premises. Subtenant shall promptly pay upon demand the amount of any such increase in
insurance rates caused by any act of Subtenant. In addition to all other remedies provided for at law or under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have the remedy provided for in Section 5.4.4.1 of the Master Lease in the event that Subtenant breaches any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 10.
11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, ordinances and regulations with respect to Subtenant’s use, occupancy or improvement of the Subleased Premises, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. §12101, et seq. (as amended, together with the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto) (collectively, “Applicable Laws”). Additionally, Subtenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to reimburse Sublandlord for any legal compliance costs incurred by Sublandlord with respect to the Subleased Premises as a result of Subtenant’s (a) specific use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises (as opposed to general office use), (b) obtaining any permit or license with respect to the Subleased Premises (regarding hazardous materials or otherwise), or (c) making any installations, additions or alterations to the Subleased Premises.
12. Compliance with Master Lease.
12.1 Subtenant Covenants. Subtenant covenants that it will occupy the Subleased Premises in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease as they apply to the Subleased Premises and will not suffer to be done or omit to do any act which may result in a violation of or a default under any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, or render Sublandlord liable for any damage, charge or expense thereunder. Subtenant further covenants and agrees to indemnify Sublandlord against and hold Sublandlord harmless from any claim, demand, action, proceeding, suit, liability, loss, judgment, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and damages of any kind or nature whatsoever (“Claims”) arising out of, by reason of, or resulting from, Subtenant’s failure to perform or observe any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease applicable to the Subleased Premises or this Sublease.
12.2 Sublandlord Covenants. Sublandlord covenants that it will maintain the Master Lease during the entire Sublease Term, subject, however, to any earlier termination of the Master Lease without the fault of Sublandlord, and to comply with or perform or cause to be performed Sublandlord’s obligations with respect to the Reserved Premises and with any obligations with respect to the Subleased Premises not assumed by Subtenant hereunder (collectively, “Sublandlord’s Remaining Obligations”), and to indemnify Subtenant against and hold Subtenant harmless from all Claims arising out of (a) Sublandlord’s failure to comply with or perform Sublandlord’s Remaining Obligations, and (b) termination or forefeiture of the Master Lease resulting from Sublandlord’s default thereunder. Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Master Landlord to perform its obligations under the Master Lease, and shall cooperate with Subtenant in its efforts to obtain such performance. Sublandlord hereby covenants (1) not to voluntarily surrender the Master Lease to Master Landlord as to the Subleased Premises, and (2) not enter into any amendment or other agreement with respect to the Master Lease that will prevent or adversely affect the use by Subtenant of the Subleased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Sublease, increase the obligations of Subtenant or decrease the rights of Subtenant under this Sublease, shorten the term of this
Sublease or increase the rental or any other sums required to be paid by Subtenant under this Sublease.
12.3 Subordination of Sublease. This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Master Lease in all respects. If the Master Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then this Sublease shall automatically terminate as if it expired by its terms (unless assumed by Master Landlord) and in such event neither Sublandlord nor Master Landlord shall have any liability whatsoever to Subtenant as a result of such termination, except that Sublandlord shall be liable to Subtenant for any such termination arising as a result of Sublandlord’s default under the Master Lease. Except as expressly provided in Section 12.2, under no circumstance shall Sublandlord be obligated to, or be responsible or liable in any way for Master Landlord’s failure to, (a) perform any acts required to be completed by Master Landlord under the Master Lease, (b) supply any item, including, but not limited to, any utility or service to the Subleased Premises required to be supplied by Master Landlord under the Master Lease, or (c) complete any work or maintenance in the Subleased Premises or the Master Premises required to be completed by Master Landlord under the Master Lease; and no such failure will in any way excuse Subtenant’s performance under this Sublease or entitle Subtenant to any abatement of rent or other charge.
12.4 Incorporation of Terms. Except as expressly provided in this Section 12.4, Subtenant hereby assumes and agrees to perform each and every obligation of Sublandlord under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises (and Sublandlord shall have the right to elect to require Subtenant to perform its obligations under the Master Lease directly to Master Landlord on prior written notice and Master Landlord’s consent to the same). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) to the extent of any inconsistencies between the express terms of this Sublease and the terms of the Master Lease incorporated herein by reference, the express terms of this Sublease shall control, (ii) Subtenant shall have no renewal, first offer or expansion rights, any right to audit Master Landlord’s books (provided, however, Subtenant may, at its sole cost and expense, require Sublandlord to perform such audit on its behalf), any right to install or use an Emergency Generator, or any rights to receive any concessions or allowances except to the extent expressly set forth in this Sublease, and (iii) Subtenant does not assume and shall have no obligation to satisfy Sublandlord’s rental and security deposit obligations to Master Landlord, Sublandlord’s indemnity obligations, including, without limitation, with respect to Hazardous Materials, as such indemnity obligations pertain to the acts or omissions of Sublandlord and Sublandlord’s Agents, Sublandlord’s maintenance and repair obligations with respect to the Reserved Premises, and Sublandlord’s obligations under the Tenant Work Letter attached as Exhibit B to the Master Lease.
13. UTILITIES; SERVICES. Sublandlord shall have no obligation to provide to the Subleased Premises any services or utilities (including without limitation telephone or internet services) of any kind and shall have no liability for any interruption in utilities or services to the Subleased Premises; provided, however, that to the extent Sublandlord provides any services or utilities to the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord (upon receipt of invoice) any reasonable amounts necessary to reimburse or compensate Sublandlord for providing such services (all as reasonably determined by Sublandlord). Sublandlord shall not be responsible or liable in any way for any failure or interruption, for any reason whatsoever, of the services, utilities or facilities that may or should be appurtenant or supplied to the Subleased Premises, and no such failure will in any way excuse Subtenant’s performance under this Sublease or entitle
Subtenant to any abatement of rent or other charge, unless such failure is a result of Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or Sublandlord’s default under the Master Lease, in which event Subtenant may contract directly with Master Landlord to restore such interrupted utilities and services. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Rent hereunder any and all sums which Sublandlord may be required to pay to Master Landlord or any service provider arising out of excess consumption by Subtenant or a request by Subtenant for additional building services (e.g., charges associated with after-hours HVAC usage and over-standard electrical charges). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease or the Master Lease, Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord shall not be required to perform any of the covenants, agreements or obligations of Master Landlord under the Master Lease and, insofar as any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder are required to be performed under the Master Lease by Master Landlord thereunder, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant will look solely to Master Landlord for such performance.
14. MAINTENANCE. Subtenant shall perform all maintenance and repairs in the Subleased Premises which Sublandlord is required to perform under the Master Lease; provided, however, that, at Sublandlord’s option, or if Subtenant fails to make such repairs, Sublandlord may, but need not, make such repairs and replacements, and Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord’s costs or expenses, arising from Sublandlord’s involvement with such repairs and replacements upon being billed for same.
15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Subtenant shall not assign, mortgage, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer this Sublease or sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions and licenses and the like) the whole or any part of the Subleased Premises (any of the foregoing, an “Assignment”), without in each case first obtaining the prior written consent of Sublandlord, not to be unreasonably withheld; it being agreed that it shall be deemed reasonable for Sublandlord to withhold its consent to an Assignment if Master Landlord has declined to consent to the same. No Assignment shall relieve Subtenant of any liability under this Sublease. Consent to any such Assignment shall not operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to any subsequent Assignment. In connection with each request for an Assignment, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord’s reasonable cost of processing such Assignment, including attorneys’ fees, and any fees or costs payable under the Master Lease, upon demand of Sublandlord (not to exceed the actual cost charged to Sublandlord by Master Landlord to review the request, plus up to $1,000 for Sublandlord’s review costs). Any assignee or subtenant shall assume all of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease and be jointly and severally liable with Subtenant hereunder. Any Assignment hereunder must comply with the Master Lease, including, without limitation, the obtaining of any required consent of Master Landlord.
16. INDEMNITY. Subtenant shall, except to the extent caused by Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Master Landlord and Sublandlord and their affiliates, agents, partners and lenders, from and against any and all Claims occurring within the Subleased Premises or arising out of, involving, or in connection with, (a) the use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant, (b) the acts or omissions of Subtenant or any of Subtenant’s invitees, agents or employees, (c) any breach of this Sublease by Subtenant, and (d) any violation of Applicable Laws caused by Subtenant. If any action or proceeding is brought against Master Landlord or Sublandlord by reason of any of the foregoing
matters, Subtenant shall upon notice defend the same at Subtenant’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Master Landlord and Sublandlord.
17. EXEMPTION OF SUBLANDLORD FROM LIABILITY. Unless caused by Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, Sublandlord shall not be liable for injury or damage to the person or goods, wares, merchandise, or other property of Subtenant, Subtenant’s employees, contractors, invitees, customers, or any other person in or about the Master Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said injury or damage results from conditions arising from the Master Premises or from any other source or place, and regardless of whether the cause of damage or injury or the means of repairing the same is accessible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease or the Master Lease, in no event whatsoever shall Sublandlord be liable for injury to Subtenant’s business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom.
18. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. Subtenant shall at all times comply with, and be bound by, the terms, conditions and provisions of the Master Lease related to Hazardous Materials, including without limitation Section 5.4 of the Master Lease, which are hereby expressly incorporated into this Sublease with each reference therein to “Tenant” being a reference to Subtenant, and each reference therein to the “Premises” being a reference to the “Subleased Premises” and each reference therein to the “Lease” being a reference to this “Sublease”. Subtenant shall otherwise comply with, and be bound by, any and all provisions of the Master Lease with respect to Hazardous Materials. For purposes of clarification and not in limitation of the foregoing, Subtenant shall deliver an Environmental Questionnaire (as defined in and attached to the Master Lease) to Sublandlord prior to the Commencement Date.
19. DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION; CONDEMNATION. In no event shall Sublandlord have any obligation to Subtenant to restore the Subleased Premises or the Master Premises if damaged, destroyed or condemned as described in Section 11 or Section 13 of the Master Lease. To the extent any damage, destruction or casualty loss occurs in the Master Premises or Subleased Premises which entitles Sublandlord to terminate the Master Lease, (a) Sublandlord may terminate the Master Lease (in which event this Sublease shall automatically terminate) at its sole election without any liability to Subtenant and (b) Subtenant shall have the same right to terminate this Sublease. With respect to damage, destruction or condemnation (as described in Section 11 and Section 13 of the Master Lease), Subtenant shall have no right to abatement of rent under this Sublease unless Sublandlord is entitled to abatement of rent under the Master Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises.
20. BROKERS. Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby represent and warrant to each other that they have had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Sublease, and that they know of no other real estate broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Sublease, other than: (a) Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx LaSalle, representing Sublandlord, and (b) Xxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxx LaSalle, representing Subtenant. Each Party agrees to indemnify and defend the other Party against and hold the other Party harmless for, from and against any and all Claims with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing
on account of the indemnifying party’s dealings with any real estate broker or agent. The indemnities in this Section 20 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease.
21. NOTICES. Any notice, demand or request required or desired to be given under this Sublease to Sublandlord or Subtenant shall be in writing via personal delivery, First Class U.S. Mail, return receipt requested, or FedEx and shall be addressed to the address of the Party to be served, as set forth in this Section 21. Either Party may from time to time, by written notice to the other Party in accordance with this Section 21, designate a different address than that set forth below for the purpose of notice.

SHARED IDF, POWER AND CONTROL OF ACCESS
Cabling; Shared IDF; Modifications for IT Purposes
Subtenant may either use existing cabling or install its own cabling for network data and voice connectivity in the Subleased Premises. If Subtenant elects to installs its own cabling, Subtenant shall do so at its sole cost and expense, in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 8 of the Master Lease including, without limitation, acquiring the Master Landlord’s consent to any installation (collectively, the “Alteration Requirements”). The cabling will be terminated in the IDF room (room number 262 on the floor plan) where Subtenant will install necessary network equipment, UPS devices, monitoring equipment and additional power (where required). Subtenant may install necessary fiber or cables to connect from the second floor IDF to Subtenant’s network equipment on the first floor in strict accordance with the Alteration Requirements.
Subtenant and Sublandlord shall share use of the second floor IDF room. Subtenant may, at its election, have sole use of one of the two 19” racks present in the IDF room. Subtenant may require that Sublandlord physically separate its network cable terminations and networking equipment from Subtenant’s, for example by installing a separate patch panel and network equipment in the second of the two 19” racks. Regardless of the approach, if Subtenant chooses to have Sublandlord physically separate its equipment from Subtenant’s, Subtenant is solely responsible for paying the costs to achieve the separation. Subtenant will prepare a proposal for Sublandlord’s review. Sublandlord agrees to not unreasonably withhold approval. Subtenant may install appropriate physical controls around its network equipment and connections.
Subtenant may cross connect copper cables from its network equipment to any of the Subtenant ports in scope which terminate in a patch panel mounted on one of the 19” racks. All ports within the Subtenant space should be identified and clearly marked. Subtenant and Sublandlord agree to make all reasonable efforts to avoid interfering with the function of each other’s networking cables and equipment.
Subtenant may make any reasonable modifications to the Subleased Premises that are necessary for IT purposes in strict accordance with the Alteration Requirements, including installation of wireless access points, additional network drops, cabling for audio/visual equipment, security cameras, printers and card key controlled locks on doors.
Access to Electrical Room; Security
The electrical room for the Subleased Premises and the shared IDF room are in Room 261. Sublandlord will provide Subtenant with access to the electrical room upon request, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Subtenant may install necessary equipment, including locks and card key readers, to control ingress and egress from the Subleased Premises in strict accordance with the Alteration Requirements.
