3.3 Late Payment; Interest. If Sublessee fails to pay any amount of Rent when it is due, Sublessor shall provide Sublessee with written notice of the non-payment. If Sublessee fails to pay any amount of Rent promptly following receipt of such written notice, Sublessee may be required to pay to Sublessor a late payment fee equal to two percent (2%) of the amount due, together with interest from the date due until paid at the Default Rate, provided that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Sublessee nor on any amounts upon which late charges are paid by Sublessee to the extent such interest would cause the total interest to be in excess of that legally permitted.

If Sublessee defaults with respect to any provision of this Sub-Sublease Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, then Sublessor may, as applicable, use, apply, or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit to the extent necessary in Sublessor’s judgment to cure such default and Sublessor may use, apply, or retain such amount for the payment of any Rent and any other amount that Sublessor may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Sublessee’s default or to compensate Sublessor for any other loss or damage that Sublessor may suffer by reason of Sublessee’s default. If any amount of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Sublessee shall, within twenty (20) business days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublessor in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. The amount so demanded shall be considered Additional Rent and the failure of Sublessee to pay such amount shall be a default of this Sub-Sublease Agreement. If Sublessee shall fully and faithfully perform
Page 4 of 49
every provision of this Sublease to be performed by Sublessee, Sublessor shall return the Security Deposit to Sublessee within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Sublease Term.

Sublessee shall remove all fixtures and improvements placed by Sublessee during the Sublease Term, if required to do so by the Landlord.

Except as expressly provided in this Sub-Sublease Agreement to the contrary, all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease Agreement and Sublease Agreement shall be applicable to this Sub-Sublease Agreement and the Subleased Premises but with the substitution in such terms, covenants and conditions of the Sublessor as the Landlord, Boeing, the Sublessee as the Tenant, and the Subleased Premises as the Leased Premises, PROVIDED however, that nothing in this Sub-Sublease Agreement shall be deemed to transfer or convey to Sublessee any right of first refusal, including Boeing’s rights under Section 31 of the Lease Agreement, any renewal option, including Boeing’s renewal option in Section 32 of the Lease Agreement, and any rights granted to Boeing pursuant to the First Amendment to Lease, dated June 8, 2012.

Nothing in this Sub-Sublease Agreement is intended to require Sublessee to pay any amount of rent to Landlord under the Lease Agreement or Boeing under the Sublease Agreement.
5.3 Sublessee shall neither do nor permit anything to be done that would cause Boeing to be in default of the Lease Agreement or Sublessor to be in default of the Sublease Agreement or would cause the Lease Agreement or Sublease Agreement to be terminated or forfeited by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture or default reserved or vested in the Landlord under the Lease Agreement or Boeing under the Sublease Agreement, and Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against all claims of any kind whatsoever by reason of which the Lease Agreement or Sublease Agreement may be terminated or forfeited.

Sublessor shall provide notice to Sublessee as soon as is reasonably practical after Sublessor receives notice of any claim that will fall within the scope of the foregoing indemnity, provided that Sublessor’s performance of the foregoing shall not be deemed a condition to Sublessee’s obligations under the foregoing indemnity, but Sublessee may seek to reduce its obligation under the foregoing indemnity to the extent that Sublessee could have avoided liability or cost had Sublessor performed its obligations set out in this paragraph.
6.2 Sublessee at Sublessee’s own cost and expense, will provide and keep in full force and effect during the term of this Sublease Agreement:
Commercial general liability insurance with limits of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00), or such higher amount as may be required by Landlord or Boeing pursuant to the respective Lease Agreement or Sublease Agreement, covering bodily injury to any person, including death, and loss of or damage to real and personal property.

A certificate evidencing such insurance coverage and the coverage required hereunder shall be delivered to Sublessor prior to the commencement date of the Sublease Term. Such certificate of insurance will provide for not less than fifteen days advance notice in the event of cancellation or material alteration of such insurance.
6.3 Sublessee hereby releases and relieves Sublessor and the Indemnified Parties and waives its entire claim of recovery for loss of or damage to property arising out of or incident to fire, lightning, or any other perils normally included in a standard “All Risk” physical damage property insurance policy containing an extended coverage and special extended coverage endorsement, when such property is in on or about the Subleased Premises or the Leased Premises,
Page 8 of 49
whether or not such loss or damage is due to the negligence of Sublessor, Sublessee, or their respective agents, employees, guests, licensees, invitees, or contractors.

20. Sublessee's Default.
20.1 Events of Default. The following shall constitute events of default by Sublessee:
(a) Sublessee’s failure to pay any amount of rent when due and such failure shall continue for ten (10) business day after written notice thereof from Sublessor, PROVIDED that if Sublessor delivers three such notices after Sublessee’s failure to pay rent within any eighteen month period, then on any other failure of Sublessee to pay any amount of rent when due, Sublessee shall be in default on the date such payment was due without regard to any notice from Sublessor; or
(b) Sublessee’s failure to execute an estoppel certificate or subordination agreement as provided in this Sublease Agreement and such failure shall continue for ten (10) business days after written notice thereof; or
(c) Sublessee’s failure to maintain in force or pay the premium for any policy of insurance required to be obtained or maintained by Sublessee, and following written notice, pursuant to this Sub-Sublease Agreement (whether pursuant to paragraph 5 or paragraph 6 of this Sub-Sublease Agreement); or
(d) Sublessee’s failure to observe or perform any of Sublessee’s obligations under Section 10 of this Sub-Sublease Agreement, and such failure shall continue for five (5) business days after written notice thereof, provided that Sublessee shall not be deemed to be in default if such failure cannot be cured within such five day period so long as Sublessee has commenced a cure within such five day period and is diligently pursuing it thereafter; or
(e) Sublessee’s failure to observe and perform any other material provision, term or condition in this Sub-Sublease Agreement within thirty (30) days after Sublessor delivers written notice of the failure to Sublessee, or if the cure cannot reasonably be concluded within thirty (30) days, then if Sublessee fails to commence to cure the failure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter proceed reasonably, diligently and in good faith to complete the cure; or
(f) Sublessee’s failure to observe or perform any of Sublessee’s obligations under this Sub-Sublease Agreement that results in a default by Sublessor under the Lease Agreement or Sublease Agreement, and such failure shall continue for a period which is three (3) days less than the applicable cure period under the Lease Agreement or Sublease Agreement (and three (3) days less than the extended cure period in the
Page 16 of 49
event that such cure period is extended under the Lease Agreement or Sublease Agreement).
20.2 Sublessor’s Remedies.
On the occurrence of an event of default by Sublessee, and following any applicable notice and cure period, Sublessor may, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand (except as expressly provided herein) and without limiting Sublessor in the exercise of any right or remedy which Sublessor may have:
(a) Peaceably reenter the Subleased Premises upon voluntary surrender by Sublessee or, if Sublessee does not voluntarily surrender the Subleased Premises, remove Sublessee therefrom and any other persons occupying the Subleased Premises, using such legal proceedings as may be available;
(b) In addition to reentry under (a) above, terminate this Sub-Sublease Agreement. Upon such termination, Sublessor may recover from Sublessee damages awarded in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or binding settlement agreement, including : (i) the worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent that had been earned at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent and other charges under this Sub-Sublease Agreement which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such loss of Rent that Sublessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent after the time of award exceeds the amount of such lost Rent that Sublessee proves could have been reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Sublessor for all the detriment proximately caused by Sublessee's failure to perform its obligations under this Sublease Agreement or that in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. As used herein, the following terms are defined: (a) The “worth at the time of award” of the amounts referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) is computed by allowing interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum or the maximum lawful rate. The “worth at the time of award” of the amount referred to in clause (iii) is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1 percent per annum.
(c) In addition to reentry pursuant to paragraph (a) above, elect in writing to terminate Sublessee’s right to possession without terminating the Sub-Sublease Agreement. In such case, the Sub-Sublease Agreement shall continue in effect for so long as Sublessor does not terminate Sublessee’s right to possession, and Sublessor may enforce all its rights and
Page 17 of 49
remedies under this Sub-Sublease Agreement, including the right to recover Rent as it becomes due. Any such payments due Sublessor shall be made upon demand therefor from time to time and Sublessee agrees that Sublessor may file suit to recover any sums falling due from time to time. Sublessor may at any time thereafter elect in writing to terminate this Sub-Sublease Agreement for such previous breach.
No failure by Sublessor to insist upon the strict performance of any agreement, term, covenant or condition hereof or to exercise any right or remedy consequent upon a breach thereof, and no acceptance of full or partial Rent by Sublessor during the continuance of any such breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of such agreement, term, covenant, or condition. No agreement, term, covenant, or condition hereof to be performed or complied with by either party, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the parties. No waiver of any breach shall affect or alter this Sub-Sublease Agreement, but each and every agreement, term, covenant and condition hereof shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent breach thereof.
Each right and remedy provided for in this Sub-Sublease Agreement shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other right or remedy provided for in this Sub-Sublease Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by either party of any one or more of the rights or remedies provided for in this Sub-Sublease Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by such party of any or all other rights or remedies provided for in this Sub-Sublease Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise.
For the purpose of calculating Sublessor’s damages by reason of Sublessee’s failure to pay all other sums that would have been payable hereunder if this Sub-Sublease Agreement had not been terminated, such sums shall be those sums that would have been so payable hereunder as of the time of the award. On any termination, Sublessor’s damages for default shall include all reasonable costs and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees that Sublessor shall incur in connection with the filing, commencement, pursuing and/or defending of any action in any bankruptcy court or other court with respect to the Sub-Sublease Agreement, the obtaining of relief from any stay in bankruptcy restraining any action to evict Sublessee; or the pursuing of any action with respect to Sublessor’s right to possession of the Subleased Premises. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights and remedies which Sublessor may have under this Sub-Sublease Agreement
Page 18 of 49
and at law and equity shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time to the greatest extent permitted by law.
21. Liens. Sublessee shall not cause or allow the Subleased Premises to become subject to any liens, claims, charges, or encumbrances (each a “Lien”). If the Subleased Premises become subject to one or more Liens as the result of the acts or omissions or sufferance of Sublessee, Sublessee shall promptly, and in any event within twenty (20) days, remove such Liens pursuant to RCW 60.04.161 and obtain a release of such Lien from the lienor. If the Sublessee fails to take timely action in this regard, the Sublessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon advance written notice to Sublessee to take any action reasonably necessary to remove and/or release such Liens. Such action shall be taken at the sole risk and expense of the Sublessee.
22. Agents and Brokers. At the signing of this Agreement, Xxxx Xxxx and Xxx Xxxxxx of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx represented the Sublessor, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxx of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx represented the Sublessee. Each party signing this document confirms that prior oral and/or written disclosure of dual agency was provided to him or her in this transaction. Sublessor shall be responsible to pay the commission due to the brokers pursuant to a separate agreement. Each party represents to the other that it has engaged no other agent broker or agent in connection with the negotiation leading to this agreement, and shall hold the other harmless from any claim or demand from any other agent or broker claiming to have acted on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this agreement or the purchase and sale transaction, or from any claim by the respective brokers referred to in this paragraph for compensation in excess of that provided for in this paragraph.
23. Subordination Agreement, Estoppel Certificates.
23.1. Subordination Agreements. If requested by Sublessor, Landlord or Boeing, Sublessee shall execute a subordination agreement evidencing the subordination of this Sublease to any mortgage, deed of trust, or lease entered into by Landlord or Boeing. Sublessor will use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to have a non-disturbance provision incorporated into said subordination agreement (but Sublessee acknowledges that the incorporation of such provisions for the benefit of subtenants is not a common practice).
23.2. Estoppel Certificates. Sublessee shall, upon request from Sublessor, Landlord or Boeing, at any time and from time to time execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party or any lender to or prospective purchaser or tenant from such party, a written statement, in the form
Page 19 of 49
generally acceptable to institutional purchasers or lenders certifying as follows: that this Sub-Sublease Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there has been modification thereof, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the nature thereof); that neither Sublessee nor Sublessor is in default of this Sub-Sublease Agreement and to the best of Sublessee’s knowledge there are no uncured defaults on the part of Sublessor/Sublessee (or if any such default exists, the specific nature and extent thereof); the date to which any rents and other charges have been paid in advance, if any; and such other matters as are typically contained in such certificates or that the requesting party may reasonably request.
24. Miscellaneous Provisions.
24.1. Severability. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine, to any extent, that any provision, term or condition of this Sub-Sublease Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, that determination shall not affect the remainder of this Sub-Sublease Agreement, and each provision, term or condition in the remainder of this Sub-Sublease Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.
24.2 Captions. The marginal headings or titles to the sections of this Sub-Sublease Agreement are not a part of the Sub-Sublease Agreement but are inserted only for convenience. They shall have no effect on the construction or interpretation of any part of this Sub-Sublease Agreement.
24.3. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and conditions of this Sub-Sublease Agreement in which time is a factor.
24.4 Counterparts. This Sub-Sublease Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall constitute an original Sub-Sublease Agreement, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Sub-Sublease Agreement.
24.5 Choice of Law. This Sub-Sublease Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without reference to its choice of law rules.
24.6 Due Authorization and Execution. Each party represents and warrants to the other that the execution and delivery of this Sub-Sublease Agreement by such party and the performance by such party of its obligations under this Sub-Sublease Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other action on the part of such party and that this Sub-Sublease Agreement, when executed and delivered by both parties and consented to by the Landlord and Boeing will be the legal obligation of such party, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms. Each individual executing this Sub-Sublease Agreement warrants and represents
Page 20 of 49
that such individual has the power, right, and authority to execute this Sub-Sublease Agreement on behalf of the party for whom he or she purports to execute this Sub-Sublease Agreement.
24.7 Sublessor and Sublessee acknowledge that the total actual rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises may be different (materially or otherwise) than the approximately 38,723 rentable square footage referenced in this Sub-Sublease Agreement. Nevertheless, for the purposes of this Sub-Sublease Agreement only, including for the purposes of calculating Rent hereunder, Sublessor and Sublessee deem the total rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises to be 38,723.

1.3 Sub-Sublease. Subtenant has asked Master Landlord to execute this Consent to evidence its consent to the sub-subletting of the Subleased Premises, pursuant to the Sub-Sublease Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Sub-Sublease”), by Subtenant to Sub-Subtenant.
2. Consent. As required under Article 10 of the Lease and subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent, Master Landlord hereby consents to the sub-subletting of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant to Sub-Subtenant, as set forth in the Sub-Sublease, to the extent and only to the extent that the Sub-Sublease does not enlarge Tenant’s rights under the Lease, give Subtenant or Sub-Subtenant any right not granted under the Lease, or increase Master Landlord’s responsibilities or obligations under the Lease, and subject to the following terms and conditions:
2.1 No Waiver. Nothing contained herein or in the Sub-Sublease shall be construed to modify, waive, impair or affect any of the covenants .and agreements contained in the Lease (except as expressly provided in this Consent), including without limitation any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Lease regarding subleasing, or to waive any breach of Tenant in the due keeping, performance or observance thereof.
2.2 No Release of Tenant. This Consent shall not be construed as a release of Tenant from any liability, whether past, present or future, under the Lease. Tenant shall be and remain liable and responsible for the due keeping, performance and observance throughout the term of the Lease of all of the covenants and agreements therein set forth on the part of Tenant to be kept, performed and observed, including without limitation the obligation for the payment of the fixed rent, additional rent and all other sums now and/or hereinafter becoming payable thereunder, expressly including as such additional rent any and all charges for any property, material, labor,

2.3 Subordinate to Lease. The Sub-Sublease shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the Lease, and to all of the covenants and agreements of the Lease and of this Consent, and Sub-Subtenant shall not do, permit or suffer anything to be done in, or in connection with, Sub-Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises that would violate any of such covenants and agreements. Master Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce the provisions of the Sub-Sublease, including collection of rent thereunder. Tenant acknowledges that its indemnity and defense obligations under the Lease include all any and all claims arising from or related to the following (but subject always to the exceptions and limitations set out in Article 22 of the Lease): (a) Sub-Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises or any activity done, permitted or suffered by Sub-Subtenant in, on or about the Subleased Premises or the building; and (b) any act or omission by Sub-Subtenant or its employees, contractors or agents in connection with or related to the Sublease or the Subleased Premises. Master Landlord is an intended third party beneficiary of the Sub-Subtenant’s indemnity under Section 6.1 of the Sublease and may enforce such obligation directly.
2.4 Further Subletting or Assignment. This Consent shall not be construed as a consent by the Master Landlord to, or as permitting, any other or further subletting or any assignment by either Tenant, Subtenant or Sub-Subtenant.
2.5 Use. The use of the Subleased Premises shall continue to be limited as set forth in the Lease, or absent any such limitations shall be used solely for general office purposes. Master Landlord shall have all rights to enter into the Premises reserved to Master Landlord under the Lease.
2.6 Relationship with Master Landlord.
(a) Tenant hereby assigns and transfers Tenant’s interest in the Sub-Sublease and all rentals and income arising therefrom to Master Landlord, subject to the terms of this Section 2.6. By consenting to the Sub-Sublease, Master Landlord agrees that until a default shall occur (after the expiration of any period provided for in the Lease for notice or cure) in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, Tenant or Subtenant (as the case may be) may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under the Sub-Sublease. In the event Tenant defaults in the performance of its obligations to Master Landlord as set forth in the Lease, after the expiration of any period provided for in the Lease for notice or cure (whether or not Master Landlord terminates the Lease), Master Landlord may at its option, by notice to Tenant and Subtenant, either (i) terminate the Sublease and the Sub-Sublease, (ii) elect to receive and collect, directly from Sub-Subtenant, all rent and any other sums owing and to be owed under the Sub-Sublease, as further set forth in Section 2. 6(b) below, or (iii) elect to succeed to Subtenant’s interest in the Sublease and cause Sub-Subtenant to attorn to Master Landlord, as further set forth in Section 2.6(c) below.
Page 29 of 49
(b) Master Landlord shall not, by reason of the Sub-Sublease, or by reason of the collection of rents or any other sums from Sub-Subtenant pursuant to Section 2.6(a) above, be deemed liable to Sub-Subtenant for any failure of Tenant or Subtenant to perform and comply with any obligation of Tenant or Subtenant, respectively, and Tenant and Subtenant hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Sub-Subtenant, upon receipt of any written notice from Master Landlord stating that a default exists in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, to pay to Master Landlord the rents and any other sums due and to become due under the Sub-Sublease. Tenant and Subtenant agree that Sub-Subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Master Landlord, and that Sub-Subtenant shall pay any such rents and any other sums to Master Landlord without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Tenant or Subtenant to the contrary. Neither Tenant nor Subtenant shall have any right or claim against Sub-Subtenant for any such rents or any other sums so paid by Sub-Subtenant to Master Landlord. Master Landlord shall credit Tenant with any rent received by Master Landlord under such assignment, but the acceptance of any payment on account of rent from the Sub-Subtenant as the result of any such default shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by the Master Landlord to Sub-Subtenant or by Sub-Subtenant to Master Landlord, be deemed a waiver by Master Landlord of any provision of the Lease or serve to release Tenant from any liability under the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any other payment of rent from Sub-Subtenant directly to Master Landlord, regardless of the circumstances or reasons therefor, shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by Sub-Subtenant to Master Landlord in the absence of a specific written agreement signed by Master Landlord to such an effect.
(c) In the event Master Landlord elects, at its option, to cause Sub-Subtenant to attorn to Master Landlord pursuant to Section 2.6(a)·above, Master Landlord shall undertake the obligations of Subtenant under the Sublease from the time of the exercise of the option, but Master Landlord shall not be (i) liable for any prepayment of more than one month’s rent or any security deposit paid by Sub-Subtenant, (ii) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under the Lease, for any other defaults of Tenant under the Sublease, or for any other defaults of Subtenant under the Sub-Sublease, (iii) subject to any defenses or offsets previously accrued that Sub-Subtenant may have against Tenant or Subtenant, (iv) bound by any changes or modifications made to the Sub-Sublease without the written consent of Master Landlord, (v) bound by any options to expand or increase the size of the Subleased Premises, (vi) obligated to construct or to pay for any improvements or alterations, (vii) obligated to provide any goods or services that Tenant or Subtenant has agreed to provide such as furniture, copying equipment, reception or other services except for those services required of Master Landlord in its role as Master Landlord under the Lease. In addition, if Master Landlord elects to cause Sub-Subtenant to attorn to Master Landlord as set forth above, Master Landlord shall not be deemed to have made any of or be bound by any of Tenant’s representations and warranties in the Sublease or any of Subtenant’s representations and warranties in the Sub-Sublease. Master Landlord has not waived any rights it may have under the Lease to require removal of alterations, improvements or cabling in the Subleased Premises.
2.7 Alterations. This Consent is expressly conditioned upon compliance by the Tenant, Subtenant and Sub-Subtenant with the provisions of the Lease pertaining to alterations,
Page 30 of 49
repairs, additions or improvements in, to or about the Premises and shall not be construed as consent to any alterations, repairs, additions or improvements described in the Sub-Sublease.
2.8 Sub-Sublease. Subtenant and Sub-Subtenant each represent that the attached Sub-Sublease is a true, correct and complete copy of the Sub-Sublease, and agree that a true, correct and complete copy of each amendment thereto shall be delivered to Master Landlord within ten days after the execution of such amendment. It is understood that Master Landlord shall not be deemed to be a party to the Sub-Sublease or any amendment to the Sub-Sublease, and will not be bound by any of the covenants or agreements thereof. Neither the execution and delivery of this Consent, nor the receipt by Master Landlord of a copy of the Sub-Sublease or any amendment to the Sub-Sublease, shall be deemed to change any provision of this Consent or to be a consent to, or an approval by Master Landlord of, any covenants or agreements contained in the Sub-Sublease or any amendment to the Sub-Sublease.
2.9 Profits. If Tenant should ever collect rent from Sub-Subtenant, Tenant shall not ask for nor collect rent from Sub-Subtenant in excess of the rent payable by Tenant to Master Landlord (“Profits”) without Master Landlord’s prior written consent. If there are any Profits from the Sub-Sublease, Tenant shall pay to Master Landlord the percentage of such Profits specified in the Lease, if applicable, as additional rent.
2.10 Consideration for Sub-Sublease. Subtenant and Sub-Subtenant represent and warrant that there are no additional payments of rent or any other consideration of any type payable by Sub-Subtenant to Subtenant with regard to the Subleased Premises other than as set forth in the Sub-Sublease.
2.11 Recapture. This Consent shall not be construed as limiting Master Landlord’s ability to exercise rights to recapture any portion of the Premises set forth in the Lease (if any) in the event of a proposed future sublease or any assignment of any portion of the Premises.
2.12 Matters Requiring Notice to Master Landlord and Consent. Tenant nd Subtenant agree to give Master Landlord immediate notice and obtain Master Landlord’s consent when any one or more of the following conditions arise:

All capitalized terms are as defined in the Lease, except as otherwise provided herein.
1.2 Sublease. Tenant, with Landlord’s consent, subleased to Subtenant approximately 38,723 square feet of the Premises consisting of the entire floors on Floors 41 and 42 (the “Subleased Premises”) of the Building pursuant to a Sublease Agreement dated as of June 26, 2014 (the “Sublease”).
1.3 Sub-Sublease. Subtenant has asked Tenant to execute this Consent to evidence its consent to the sub-subletting of the Subleased Premises, pursuant to the Sub-Sublease Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Sub-Sublease”), by Subtenant to Sub-Subtenant.
2. Consent. As required under Sections 5.2 and 11 of the Sublease (incorporating Article 10 of the Lease) and subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent, Tenant hereby consents to the sub-subletting of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant to Sub-Subtenant, as set forth in the Sub-Sublease, to the extent and only to the extent that the Sub-Sublease does not enlarge Subtenant’s rights under the Sublease, give Subtenant or Sub-Subtenant any right not granted under the Sublease, or increase Tenant’s responsibilities or obligations under the Sublease, and subject to the following terms and conditions:
2.1 No Waiver. Nothing contained herein or in the Sub-Sublease shall be construed to modify, waive, impair or affect any of the covenants .and agreements contained in the Sublease (except as expressly provided in this Consent), including without limitation any of the covenants or agreements contained in the Sublease regarding subleasing, or to waive any breach of Subtenant in the due keeping, performance or observance thereof.
2.2 No Release of Subtenant. This Consent shall not be construed as a release of Subtenant from any liability, whether past, present or future, under the Sublease. Subtenant shall be and remain liable and responsible for the due keeping, performance and observance throughout the term of the Sublease of all of the covenants and agreements therein set forth on the part of Subtenant to be kept, performed and observed, including without limitation the obligation for the payment of the fixed rent, additional rent and all other sums now and/or hereinafter becoming payable thereunder, expressly including as such additional rent any and all charges for any property, material, labor, utility or other services furnished or rendered by Tenant in or in connection with
Page 40 of 49

Subtenant shall be liable for all bills rendered by Tenant for charges incurred by Sub-Subtenant for services rendered and materials supplied to the Subleased Premises or at the request of Sub-Subtenant and Tenant shall not be required to obtain Subtenant’s consent prior to supplying any services or materials to Sub-Subtenant.
2.3 Subordinate to Sublease. The Sub-Sublease shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the Sublease, and to all of the covenants and agreements of the Sublease and of this Consent, and Sub-Subtenant shall not do, permit or suffer anything to be done in, or in connection with, Sub-Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises that would violate any of such covenants and agreements. Subject to the rights of Landlord, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enforce the provisions of the Sub-Sublease, including collection of rent thereunder. Subtenant acknowledges that its indemnity and defense obligations under the Sublease include all any and all claims arising from or related to the following (but subject always to the exceptions and limitations set out in Section 6 of the Sublease): (a) Sub-Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises or any activity done, permitted or suffered by Sub-Subtenant in, on or about the Subleased Premises or the building; and (b) any act or omission by Sub-Subtenant or its employees, contractors or agents in connection with or related to the Sublease or the Subleased Premises.
2.4 Further Subletting or Assignment. This Consent shall not be construed as a consent by the Tenant to, or as permitting, any other or further subletting or any assignment by either Subtenant or Sub-Subtenant.
2.5 Use. The use of the Subleased Premises shall continue to be limited as set forth in the Sublease, or absent any such limitations shall be used solely for general office purposes. Tenant shall have all rights to enter into the Premises reserved to Tenant under the Sublease.
2.6 Relationship with Tenant.
(a) Subtenant hereby assigns and transfers Subtenant’s interest in the Sub-Sublease and all rentals and income arising therefrom to Tenant, subject to the terms of this Section 2.6. By consenting to the Sub-Sublease, Tenant agrees that until a default shall occur (after the expiration of any period provided for in the Sublease for notice or cure) in the performance of Subtenant’s obligations under the Sublease, Tenant may receive, collect and enjoy the rents accruing under the Sub-Sublease. In the event Subtenant defaults in the performance of its obligations to Tenant as set forth in the Sublease, after the expiration of any period provided for in the Sublease for notice or cure (whether or not Tenant terminates the Sublease), Tenant may at its option, by notice to Subtenant and Sub-Subtenant, either (i) terminate the Sublease and the Sub-Sublease, (ii) elect to receive and collect, directly from Sub-Subtenant, all rent and any other sums owing and to be owed under the Sub-Sublease, as further set forth in Section 2. 6(b) below, or (iii) elect to succeed to Subtenant’s interest in the Sublease and cause Sub-Subtenant to attorn to Tenant, as further set forth in Section 2.6(c) below.
(b) Tenant shall not, by reason of the Sub-Sublease, or by reason of the collection of rents or any other sums from Sub-Subtenant pursuant to Section 2.6(a) above, be deemed liable to Sub-Subtenant for any failure of Subtenant to perform and comply with any
Page 41 of 49
obligation of Subtenant, and Subtenant and Subtenant hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Sub-Subtenant, upon receipt of any written notice from Landlord stating that a default exists in the performance of Subtenant’s obligations under the Sublease, to pay to Landlord the rents and any other sums due and to become due under the Sub-Sublease. Subtenant agrees that Sub-Subtenant shall have the right to rely upon any such statement and request from Tenant, and that Sub-Subtenant shall pay any such rents and any other sums to Tenant without any obligation or right to inquire as to whether such default exists and notwithstanding any notice from or claim from Subtenant to the contrary. Subtenant shall have no right or claim against Sub-Subtenant for any such rents or any other sums so paid by Sub-Subtenant to Tenant. Tenant shall credit Subtenant with any rent received by Tenant under such assignment, but the acceptance of any payment on account of rent from the Sub-Subtenant as the result of any such default shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by the Tenant to Sub-Subtenant or by Sub-Subtenant to Tenant, be deemed a waiver by Tenant of any provision of the Sublease or serve to release Subtenant from any liability under the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements under the Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any other payment of rent from Sub-Subtenant directly to Tenant, regardless of the circumstances or reasons therefor, shall in no manner whatsoever be deemed an attornment by Sub-Subtenant to Tenant in the absence of a specific written agreement signed by Tenant to such an effect.
(c) In the event Tenant elects, at its option, to cause Sub-Subtenant to attorn to Tenant pursuant to Section 2.6(a)·above, Tenant shall undertake the obligations of Subtenant under the Sub-Sublease from the time of the exercise of the option, but Tenant shall not be (i) liable for any prepayment of more than one month’s rent or any security deposit paid by Sub-Subtenant, (ii) liable for any previous act or omission of Subtenant under the Sublease, for any other defaults of Subtenant under the Sub-Sublease, (iii) subject to any defenses or offsets previously accrued that Sub-Subtenant may have against Subtenant or Subtenant, (iv) bound by any changes or modifications made to the Sub-Sublease without the written consent of Landlord, (v) bound by any options to expand or increase the size of the Subleased Premises, (vi) obligated to construct or to pay for any improvements or alterations, (vii) obligated to provide any goods or services that Subtenant has agreed to provide such as furniture, copying equipment, reception or other services except for those services required of Tenant in its role as Sublandlord under the Sublease. In addition, if Tenant elects to cause Sub-Subtenant to attorn to Tenant as set forth above, Tenant shall not be deemed to have made any of or be bound by any of Subtenant’s representations and warranties in the Sub-Sublease. Tenant has not waived any rights it may have under the Sublease to require removal of alterations, improvements or cabling in the Subleased Premises.
(d) The rights of Tenant under this Section 2.6 and the obligations of Subtenant and Sub-Subtenant under this Section 2.6 are subject and subordinate to the rights of Landlord under Landlord’s consent to the Sub-Sublease.
2.7 Alterations. This Consent is expressly conditioned upon compliance by the Subtenant and Sub-Subtenant with the provisions of the Sublease pertaining to alterations, repairs, additions or improvements in, to or about the Subleased Premises and shall not be construed as consent to any alterations, repairs, additions or improvements described in the Sub-Sublease.

This Consent shall not be construed as limiting Tenant’s ability to exercise rights to recapture any portion of the Subleased Premises set forth in or incorporated into the Sublease (if any) in the event of a proposed future sublease or any assignment of any portion of the Subleased Premises.
2.12 Matters Requiring Notice to Tenant and Consent. Subtenant and Sub-Subtenant agree to give Tenant immediate notice and obtain Tenant’s consent when any one or more of the following conditions arise:

(b) the rent due pursuant to the Sub-Sublease is adjusted other than as provided in the Sub-Sublease;
(c) Sub-Subtenant renews or extends the term of the Sub-Sublease (other than pursuant to an explicit option contained in the Sub-Sublease); or
