The Tenant and Subtenant hereby acknowledge and agree that the Landlord shall exercise this right to collect the rent payable under the Sublease by giving written notice to the Tenant and the Subtenant at the Premises. The Subtenant covenants and agrees to thereafter pay such rent to the Landlord until such time as the Landlord notifies the Subtenant that the default has been cured by the Tenant. It is acknowledged that any such collection of rent by the Landlord from the Subtenant shall not be construed as to create a landlord/tenant relationship between the Landlord
and the Subtenant and shall in no way limit the Tenant's liability to pay all rent outstanding under the Lease or in any way limit the Landlord's rights and remedies under the Lease or at law.
8. | The Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the insurance which it is required to maintain under the Lease shall continue to extend to the Sublet Premises and all activities carried on by the Tenant and the Subtenant.

9. | The Subtenant shall not enter into or take possession of the Sublet Premises until it has delivered to the Landlord certificates of insurance in a form reasonably acceptable to the Landlord or, if |

11. | The Subtenant hereby covenants and agrees with the Landlord not to assign or surrender the Sublease or sublet or part with or share possession of all or part of the Sublet Premises without first obtaining the consent of the Landlord in accordance with the terms of the Lease. |
12. | This consent shall in no manner be construed as limiting the Landlord's ability to exercise its rights to recapture any portion of the Premises, as set forth in the Lease, in the event of a proposed future sublease of all or part of the Premises or assignment of the Lease. |
13. | Any notice, request or demand provided for or given hereunder or under the Lease shall be made in writing in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Lease relating to giving notice. The addresses for service of notice shall be: |
