held by Lessor, without liability for interest, as security for
the performance by Sublessee of Sublessee's covenants and
obligations under this Sublease, it being expressly understood
that the Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance
payment of Rent or a measure of Sublessee's liability for damages

time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Security
Deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrearages of
Rent or to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of Sublessee
hereunder. Following any such application of the Security
Deposit, Sublessee shall pay to Lessor on demand the amount so
applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original
amount. If Sublessee is not in default at the termination of this
Sublease, the balance of the Security Deposit remaining after any
such application shall be returned by Lessor to Sublessee within
thirty (30) days following the termination of this Sublease. If
Lessor transfers its interest in the Lease, Lessor may assign the
Security Deposit to the transferee and upon assumption by such
transferee of liability for the Security Deposit, Lessor shall
have no further liability for the return of such Security
Deposit.

such event be entitled to recovery from Sublessee of
all damages to which Sublessor may be entitled
hereunder or at law by virtue thereof, including
