certain building known and numbered as 00 X Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
which Prime Lease Premises are more particularly described in the Prime Lease, a
copy of such Prime Lease (except for those portions of the Prime Lease which

to the Subtenant or this Sublease) is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a
part hereof; and
WHEREAS, Sublandlord desires to Sublease to Subtenant and Subtenant
desires to Sublease from Sublandlord a portion of the Building, and Sublandlord
is willing to Sublease such portion of the Prime Lease Premises on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by each of the parties hereto, and
the parties agree as follows:
1. Subleasing of Subleased Premises. Subject to the written consent
of the Prime Landlord, Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant
hereby subleases from Sublandlord that portion of the Building containing
approximately 19,000 Square Feet, as more particularly shown as the area
outlined in blue, and indicated as LPI, on the floor plan annexed hereto as
Exhibit B and made part hereof (the "Subleased Premises"), upon and subject to
all terms, covenants, rentals and conditions hereinafter set forth. Subtenant
shall have the right, in common with others, to use in the parking lot serving
the Subleased Premises and the Building in accordance with the terms and
provisions of Section 35 of this Sublease. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Sublease to the contrary, the Subleased Premises shall be deemed to consist
of 19,000 square feet.
2. Term.
(a) The term (the "Term") of this Sublease shall be for a period
of three (3) years and shall commence on January 1, 2003 (the "Commencement
Date"), with said Term to expire at midnight on December 31, 2005 (the
"Expiration Date"), unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. The first
Lease Year (The term "Lease Year" is defined as a calendar year) shall commence
on January 1, 2003 and end on December 31, 2003 and each subsequent Lease Year
shall commence on January 1st and end on December 31st. If the either the

Lease Years, and monetary obligations shall be adjusted accordingly. In no event
shall the Term (as it may be extended as provided hereinbelow) extend beyond the
term of the Prime Lease.
(b) Intentionally Deleted

(c) At the request of Sublandlord, the Subtenant shall promptly
execute and deliver to Sublandlord a confirmatory instrument in recordable form
setting forth the commencement and expiration dates of the Term.
(d) If for any reason the Prime Lease is terminated prior to the
Expiration Date, whether such termination occurs as a result of any act or
omission of Sublandlord, whether due to a default or breach of the Prime Lease
by Sublandlord, or whether by the deliberate act of either the Prime Landlord or
the Sublandlord as Tenant under the Prime Lease, then, on the date of
termination of the Prime Lease, this Sublease and the Term shall automatically
terminate with the same force and effect as though such termination date were
the date herein fixed for the Expiration Date, and neither the Sublandlord nor
the Prime Landlord shall be liable to the Subtenant by reason thereof. In no
event shall the Term extend beyond the term of the Prime Lease.

including Last Lease Year
(a) All monthly installments of Base Rent shall be paid in
advance, on the first (1st) day of each month during the Term, at the office of
the Sublandlord, or such other place as Sublandlord may designate, without any
setoff or deduction or diminution of any kind whatsoever. The first installment
of Base Rent and Additional Rent (including any Base Rent and Additional Rent
due for any period prior to the Rent Commencement Date) shall be due and payable
by Subtenant on the "Rent Commencement Date", which shall be the date of
execution of this Sublease by both the Sublandlord and the Subtenant
(b) Intentionally Deleted
4. Additional Rent and Other Charges.
(a) All amounts payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord pursuant to
this Sublease, including, without limitation, any and all expenses,
reimbursements, interest payments, fees, penalties, additional rent, or other
charges of every nature whatsoever required by the terms hereof, shall be deemed
and constitute "Additional Rent" and, in the event of any non-payment thereof,
Sublandlord shall have all of the rights and remedies provided herein, in the
Prime Lease or in law or at equity for non-payment of Base Rent.
(b) Subtenant's obligation to pay Additional Rent hereunder shall
be on account of the period from and after the Rent Commencement Date and shall
survive the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term. Payment of all
Additional Rent shall, unless otherwise specifically set forth in this Sublease,
be paid by the Subtenant to the Sublandlord within ten (10) days after request
therefor. All payments of Additional Rent shall be paid at the office of the
Sublandlord, or such other place as Sublandlord may designate, without any
setoff or deduction or diminution of any kind whatsoever.
(c) Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, with
respect to each Lease Year, or portion thereof, included in the Term,
Subtenant's pro rata share of the Real Estate Taxes (as finally determined after
deducting any abatements, refunds, or rebates net of any costs, expenses, and
charges including reasonable consulting, accounting and attorneys fees)
applicable to the Prime Lease Premises. Subtenant's pro rata share shall be an
amount equal to that portion of the Real Estate Taxes that the floor area of the
Subleased Premises bears to the floor area of the Building.
(d) Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, with
respect to each Lease Year, or portion thereof, included in the Term,
Subtenant's pro rata share of the costs of the services, maintenance, and
repairs being provided by the Sublandlord, pursuant to the terms and provisions
of this Sublease, specifically including but not limited to those services being
provided pursuant to Section 5, and Section 36(a) of this Sublease, to the
Subtenant and the Subleased Premises and with respect to the Building or
portions thereof (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Operating
Costs"). Operating Costs shall also include insurance costs in connection with
insurance required to be carried by the Sublandlord pursuant

amount equal to that portion of the Operating Costs that the floor area of the
Subleased Premises bears to the floor area of the Building.
(e) Sublandlord shall reasonably estimate Subtenant's annual
proportionate share of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs and other
Additional Rent (where applicable), which estimate may be changed by Sublandlord
not more than once annually, and Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord 1/12th of
the amount so estimated on the first day of each calendar month in advance,
coincidentally with Subtenant's payment of Base Rent. Until Sublandlord shall
have delivered a revised estimate to Subtenant, Subtenant shall continue to pay
its proportionate share of Additional Rent at the same rate as Subtenant was
then paying (i.e. Subtenant shall continue to make the same monthly installment
until a revised estimate is delivered). After Sublandlord delivers a revised
estimate, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord any shortfall between the estimated
monthly payments, as revised, and actual payments made to date for the calendar
year in question. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, the
Additional Rent for the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on
the last day of the month in which the Commencement Date occurs shall be
apportioned on the basis of the number of days in said month and shall be paid
on the first day of the month following the Commencement Date. Within one
hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year and within one
hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of the Term, Sublandlord shall
submit to Subtenant a statement in reasonable detail stating Subtenant's
proportionate share of the Additional Rent for such calendar year, or partial
calendar year in the event the Term shall end on a date other than a December
31st, as the case may be, and stating the total Additional Rent for the period
in question and the figures used for computing Subtenant's proportionate share.
If Tenant's proportionate share so stated for such period is more or less than
the amount paid for such period, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the
deficiency within 30 days after submission of such statement of Subtenant's
proportionate share, or Sublandlord shall, refund the excess to Subtenant within
30 days after submission of such statement of Subtenant's proportionate share.
Subtenant's and Sublandlord's obligation to make any payment due pursuant to the
provision(s) of this Section shall survive the expiration of the Lease.
(f) Subtenant shall pay for the following services directly to
the provider of same and shall be responsible for all deposits, payments, fines,
penalties and other charges and expenses of every nature and kind whatsoever,
with respect thereto: telephone, telecommunications, satellite, electronic and
all other manner of communication, security service.

contrary, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord an "After Hours Charge", as Additional

generally required with respect to a majority of other users of space within the
Building for office purposes.
5. Care, Repair, Maintenance, Surrender and Restoration of the
Subleased Premises.
(a) Without limiting any other provision of this Sublease or the
Prime Lease, Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, maintain the
Subleased Premises, including the walkways, stairs, and entrances pertaining to

elects to relinquish Sublandlord's right to any of Subtenant Alterations, and to
have such Subtenant Alterations, or any portion thereof, removed by Subtenant,
in which event, the same shall be removed from the Subleased Premises by
Subtenant by the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term, as the case

Sublandlord's property or may be removed from the Subleased Premises by
Sublandlord, at Subtenant's expense. Any such reasonable expenses shall be paid
by Subtenant to Sublandlord upon demand therefor and shall be deemed Additional
Rent, collectible by Sublandlord in the same manner and with the same remedies
as though said sums were Base Rent reserved hereunder.

Sublease, Subtenant shall surrender the Subleased Premises to Sublandlord broom

condition as on the date of delivery of possession thereof to Subtenant or as
the Subleased Premises may be put in during the Term hereof, ordinary and
reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire and other casualty excepted,
provided, however, that if Sublandlord has requested the removal of any
Subtenant Alterations, Subtenant shall remove, at Subtenant's sole cost and
expense, any Subtenant Alterations specified by Sublandlord. If Subtenant fails

termination of this Sublease or the twentieth (20th) day following such request,
Sublandlord may remove the same and deliver the same to any place of business of
Subtenant or any warehouse, or otherwise dispose of same as may be determined by
the Sublandlord in its sole discretion, and Subtenant shall pay the cost of such
removal, delivery and warehousing, and/or other disposition, together with
interest thereon, at the prime commercial rate of Fleet Bank in Boston (or any
other commercial bank, of Sublandlord's choice, having offices and/or branches
in Boston), as adjusted from time to time, plus 2% per annum, but in no event
more than the maximum rate of interest allowed by law, to Sublandlord upon

business day. Subtenant shall observe and perform the covenants herein stated
and Subtenant's obligations hereunder this Section 5 shall survive the
Expiration Date or sooner termination of the Term.
(e) If the Subtenant (i) refuses or neglects to make repairs or
otherwise fails to perform any of the Subtenant's repair or maintenance
obligations hereunder; and (ii) if the Sublandlord is required to make repairs
by reason of the Subtenant's negligent acts or omissions, the Sublandlord shall,
6
upon seven (7) days' prior written notice to the Subtenant (except if, in the
Sublandlord's reasonable opinion, an emergency exists, in which event no prior
notice shall be required), have the right, but shall not be obligated, to make
such repairs or perform on behalf of, and for the account of, the Subtenant. In
such event, any expense incurred by the Sublandlord shall be paid by the
Subtenant to the Sublandlord as additional rent within twenty (20) days of
receipt of a xxxx and shall accrue interest, at the prime commercial rate of
Fleet Bank in Boston (or any other commercial bank, of Sublandlord's choice,
having offices and/or branches in Boston), as adjusted from time to time, plus
2% per annum, but in no event more than the maximum rate of interest allowed by
law, from the date on which the expense is incurred by the Sublandlord.
(f) At the Expiration Date or earlier termination of the Term,
all signs, lights, symbols, canopies, awnings or other advertising or decorative
matter attached to or painted by, or on behalf of, Subtenant upon the Subleased
Premises or the Building, whether on the exterior or interior thereof, shall be
removed by Subtenant at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, and Subtenant shall
repair any damage or injury to the Subleased Premises, and correct any unsightly
condition, caused by the removal thereof.
(g) All furnishings, fixtures, equipment, effects and personal
property of every kind, nature and description of Subtenant, and of all persons
claiming by, through or under Subtenant, which, during the Term of this Sublease
or any occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant, or anyone claiming by,
through or under Subtenant, may be on the Subleased Premises or elsewhere in the
Building, shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Subtenant and, if the whole or
any part thereof shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, water or otherwise, or
by the leakage or bursting of water pipes, steam pipes or other pipes, by theft,
or from any other cause, no part of said loss or damage is to be charged to or
borne by Sublandlord or Prime Landlord.
6. Inspection of Subleased Premises. Sublandlord and Prime Landlord
shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises at any reasonable time for
the purpose of inspecting the same or showing the same or for any other proper
purpose, or doing anything that Subtenant may be required to do, and shall have
failed to do. In the event of an emergency, Sublandlord and Prime Landlord shall
have the right to enter the Subleased Premises immediately and without notice.
7. Use. Subtenant shall use and occupy the Subleased Premises for
general office use and the incidental storage of the products Subtenant offers
for sale to its customers (provided such products and the storage thereof
complies, in every respect, with the terms and conditions of this Sublease) and
for no other purpose, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the
Prime Lease. Subtenant shall conduct its business operations in the Subleased
Premises in a first class manner and so as not to disturb the quiet enjoyment or
interfere with the business operations of any other tenant or occupant of the
Building in which the Subleased Premises are located. Subtenant shall not commit
or suffer to be committed any waste upon the Subleased Premises and agrees not
to injure, overload, deface or otherwise damage the Subleased Premises.
Subtenant shall not permit the emission of any objectionable noise, vibration,
odor or fumes from the Subleased Premises, nor make any use of the Subleased

invalidate or increase the premiums for any insurance thereon maintained by
Sublandlord and/or Prime Landlord. In its use and occupancy of the Subleased
Premises, Subtenant shall comply, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, with the
requirements of all applicable zoning, building, fire, health and other codes,
statutes, regulations, rules, orders, ordinances and laws of any federal, state
or local governmental or other public authority (including without limitation
any requirements related to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the
Subleased Premises). Subtenant shall have 24 hour access to the Subleased
Premises provided Subtenant shall comply with Sublandlord's security systems and
other rules and regulations relating to the Building and/or the Subleased
Premises.
8. Subordination to and Incorporation of Terms of Prime Lease.
(a) This Sublease and all rights of the Subtenant hereunder are
and shall be in all respects subject and subordinate to: (i) the Prime Lease and
to all of the respective terms, covenants and conditions thereof (subject to
Section 12(b) of this Sublease), (ii) any agreement to which the Prime Lease is
subject and/or subordinate, and to the matters to which the Prime Lease is or
shall be subject and/or subordinate, and (iii) all encumbrances now or hereafter
placed on or affecting the Prime Lease or the fee title of the Prime Lease
Premises as permitted by the Prime Lease or to which the Prime Lease is subject
7
and subordinate. The foregoing provisions shall be self-operative and no further
instrument of subordination shall be necessary, unless required by the
Sublandlord or the Prime Landlord, in which event the Subtenant agrees, on
demand, at any time or times, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Sublandlord or to the Prime Landlord any and all instruments that may be
necessary or proper to confirm the subordination of this Sublease and all rights
of the Subtenant hereunder, to the lien of any such encumbrances; and if, within
ten (10) days following demand therefor, Subtenant shall fail or neglect to
execute, acknowledge and deliver any such instrument of subordination, the
Sublandlord, in addition to any other remedies, may execute, acknowledge and
deliver the same as agent or attorney for the Subtenant and the Subtenant hereby
irrevocably nominates, constitutes and appoints the Sublandlord as the
Subtenant's proper and lawful attorney-in-fact for such purpose.
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Sublease, the
terms, provisions, covenants, stipulations, conditions, rights, obligations,
remedies and agreements of the Prime Lease are incorporated in this Sublease by
reference and made a part hereof as if herein set forth at length, and shall, as
between Sublandlord and Subtenant (as if they were the Landlord and Tenant,
respectively, under the Prime Lease and as if the Subleased Premises being
sublet hereby were the Prime Lease Premises demised under the Prime Lease),
constitute terms of this Sublease, except to the extent that they do not relate
to the Subleased Premises or are inapplicable to, inconsistent with, or modified
or eliminated by, the terms of this Sublease. It is agreed and understood
between the parties hereto that Subtenant obtains and is granted by this
Sublease no more rights and privileges hereunder than Sublandlord has as Tenant
under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that
Subtenant has reviewed and is familiar with the Prime Lease (except for those
portions of the Prime Lease which have been excised for reasons of
confidentiality and which have no applicability to the Subtenant or this
Sublease) and Sublandlord hereby represents that the copy delivered to Subtenant
for such purpose and attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true, correct and
complete copy (except for those portions of the Prime Lease which have been
excised for reasons of confidentiality and which have no applicability to the
Subtenant or this Sublease) of such Prime Lease.
(c) In the event of a default by Sublandlord, as tenant under the
Prime Lease, resulting in the termination, reentry or dispossession thereunder,
Prime Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and
interest of Sublandlord under this Sublease and Subtenant hereunder shall, at
the option of the Prime Landlord, attorn to and recognize Prime Landlord as
Sublandlord hereunder except that Prime Landlord shall not (i) be liable for any
previous act or omission of Sublandlord under this Sublease, (ii) be subject to
any offset which theretofore accrued to Subtenant against Sublandlord, or (iii)
be bound by any previous modification of this Sublease or by any previous
prepayment of more than one month's rent, and Subtenant shall, promptly upon
Prime Landlord's request, execute and deliver all instruments necessary or
appropriate to confirm such attornment and recognition. Subtenant hereby waives
all rights under any present or future law to elect, by reason of the
termination of such Prime Lease, to terminate this Sublease or surrender
possession of the Subleased Premises.
(d) Subtenant shall not have any rights of the Tenant under the
Prime Lease, which have been excluded from the Prime Lease by this Sublease, and
the Subtenant shall only have those rights of the Tenant under the Prime Lease
to the extent they remain or have been modified pursuant to this Sublease.
(e) In the event or any inconsistency between the Prime Lease and
this Sublease, such inconsistency (i) if it relates to obligations of, or
restrictions upon, Subtenant, it shall be resolved in favor of that obligation
which is more onerous to Subtenant or that restriction which is more restrictive
of Subtenant, as the case may be, or (ii) if it relates to the rights of, or
benefits to be conferred upon, Subtenant, it shall be resolved in favor of this
Sublease.
9. Subtenant's Obligations. Except as otherwise provided herein, all
acts to be performed and all of the terms, provisions, covenants, stipulations,
conditions, rights, obligations, remedies and agreements with respect to the
Subleased Premises, to be observed by Sublandlord, as Tenant under the Prime
Lease, shall be observed and performed by the Subtenant, and Subtenant's
obligations shall run to Sublandlord or the Prime Landlord as Sublandlord may
determine to be appropriate or required by the respective interests of
Sublandlord and/or Prime Landlord. Subtenant shall not (i) do or permit to be
done anything prohibited to Sublandlord, as Tenant under the Prime Lease, or
(ii) take any action or do or permit
8
anything which would result in any additional cost or other liability to
Sublandlord under the Prime Lease and/or this Sublease.
10. Sublandlord's Obligations. Anything contained in this Sublease or
in the Prime Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Sublandlord shall have no
responsibility to Subtenant for, and shall not be required to provide, any of
the services or make any of the repairs or restorations that Prime Landlord has
agreed to make or provide, or cause to be made or provided, under the Prime
Lease, and Subtenant shall rely upon, and look solely to, Prime Landlord for the
provision or making thereof. Subtenant shall not make any claim against
Sublandlord for any damage which may arise, nor shall Subtenant's obligations
hereunder be impaired or abated by reason of (i) the failure of Prime Landlord
to keep, observe or perform its obligations pursuant to the Prime Lease, or (ii)
the acts or omissions of Prime Landlord and each of its agents, contractors,
servants, employees, invitees or licensees.
11. Covenants with respect to the Prime Lease.
(a) The Subtenant covenants and agrees that it, its agents,
employees or anyone claiming from, through or under the Subtenant, will not do,
permit or suffer any act or omission which would (i) constitute a breach,
violation or default by the Sublandlord of any of the terms, covenants,
conditions or provisions of the Prime Lease, (ii) enlarge any of the obligations
of the Tenant under the Prime Lease, or (iii) give the Prime Landlord the right
to terminate the Prime Lease.
(b) Subtenant shall deliver to the Sublandlord copies of all
notices, requests, demands or other communications which relate to the Subleased
Premises or the use or occupancy thereof after receipt of the same from Prime
Landlord or any other party.
(c) Sublandlord shall not incur any liability whatsoever to
Subtenant for any injury, loss, damage (whether direct, indirect, consequential
or incidental) or inconvenience incurred or suffered by Subtenant as a result of
the exercise by Prime Landlord of any of the rights reserved to Prime Landlord

in accordance with all laws, statutes, orders, codes, regulations, ordinances,

(a) The Subtenant shall secure, pay for, and deliver all
permits (including building permits) and certificates related to occupancy
required to enable the Subtenant to conduct business in the Subleased Premises
for their intended use as set forth in this Sublease, and or which may be

(b) Subtenant agrees that the preparation and submission of all
plans and specifications in connection with any Subtenant Work shall be at the
sole cost and expense of the Subtenant, and that it is a condition of this
Sublease that, prior to the commencement of any Subtenant Work, Subtenant shall
have prepared and submitted, and the Sublandlord shall have approved in writing,
the plans and specifications covering such Subtenant Work in the Subleased
Premises.
(c) All construction by the Subtenant shall be done in a good
and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with all applicable governmental
building codes.
(d) If any mechanic's or other lien, charge or order for

18. Default.
(a) In the event of Subtenant's default, with respect to any of
the terms, conditions, or provisions of this Sublease or the Prime Lease,
Subtenant's rights and obligations shall be governed by this Sublease and not by
the terms of the Prime Lease. If Subtenant defaults (i) by failing to pay Base
Rent, Additional Rent, or any other charge of any nature whatsoever when it
becomes due, (ii) by failing to keep or to perform any covenant or obligation
made incumbent upon Subtenant under any part of this Sublease, or under any part
of the Prime Lease, (iii) by failing to pay any amount otherwise due from
Subtenant to Sublandlord, or (iv) by violating or neglecting any other covenant,
agreement, stipulation, or obligation of this Sublease or the Prime Lease on
Subtenant's part to be kept, performed or observed, and any such default shall
continue for five (5) days after notice thereof is given to Subtenant, or if the
leasehold interest or any property of Subtenant in the Subleased Premises shall
be taken or levied upon by attachment, execution or other process, or if a
receiver, trustee, guardian, conservator or similar officer shall be appointed
to take charge of Subtenant or any of Subtenant's property, whether in the
Subleased Premises or not, or to windup Subtenant's business or affairs, or if
any assignment is made for the benefit of Subtenant's creditors; or if Subtenant
files a petition under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or if such a petition is
filed against Subtenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; or if
Subtenant does or permits to be done any act which creates a mechanic's lien or
claim against the Subleased Premises; or if Subtenant abandons the Subleased
Premises; then, and in any such case, to the extent permitted by applicable
laws, and in addition to other remedies, now or hereafter provided by law,
Sublandlord may, at its option without waiving any other remedies for such
default herein or at law or by incorporation by reference of the Prime Lease,
(i) terminate, cancel and annul this Sublease at once and enter and take
possession of the Subleased Premises immediately without any previous notice of
intention to reenter, and may remove all persons and property from the Subleased
Premises in order to recover, at once, full and exclusive possession of the
Subleased Premises, and/or (ii) Sublandlord may declare all Base Rent and items
of Additional Rent for the entire balance of the Term immediately due and
payable by Subtenant as though such amounts were payable in advance on the date
the event of default occurred and/or (iii) Sublandlord may cure such default for
the account of Subtenant, and any amount paid or incurred by Sublandlord in so
doing shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Subtenant and
Subtenant agrees promptly to reimburse Sublandlord therefor and save Sublandlord
harmless therefrom. If this Sublease shall be terminated, or if Sublandlord
repossesses the Subleased Premises as a result of any of the causes set forth
above in this Section, then Subtenant shall remain liable to Sublandlord for all
loss, damage cost and expense sustained by Sublandlord by reason of such
termination, cancellation or repossession, including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys fees, brokerage commissions, finders fees, and all costs
and expenses sustained in connection with the reletting of the Subleased
Premises (including those sustained in connection with the repair, preparation,
renovation, or modification of the Subleased Premises to the extent required to
bring the Subleased Premises back to their condition at the commencement of this
Sublease, as well as, to the extent deemed appropriate by the Sublandlord, to
meet the requirements of any prospective other subtenant). Sublandlord may take
such further action in law or equity, including enjoinment and actions for
specific performance, as is permitted under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which the Subleased Premises is located. Subtenant further agrees that it shall
not interpose any counterclaim, or set-off, in any proceedings brought by
Sublandlord for possession or money damages. In the event of a default under
this Sublease by Subtenant, Subtenant empowers Sublandlord to appear on behalf
of Subtenant to confess judgment against Subtenant for Sublandlord's recovery of
the Subleased Premises.
(b) In the event that Subtenant shall default in the payment of
Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge payable hereunder, or shall
default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions and
covenants of this Sublease, Sublandlord, in addition to and not in limitation of
any rights otherwise available to it, shall have the same rights and remedies
with respect to such default as are provided to Prime Landlord under the Prime
Lease with respect to defaults by Sublandlord as Tenant thereunder, with the
same force and effect as though all such provisions relating to any such default
or defaults were set forth herein in their entirety, and Subtenant shall have
all of the obligations of the Tenant under the Prime Lease with respect to such
default or defaults.
13
(c) If Subtenant fails, more than one time in any twelve (12)
month period, to pay any installment of Base Rent or other periodically due sum
within two (2) business days after the same is due and unpaid, or fails to make
any other payment for which Subtenant is obligated under this Sublease within
five (5) days after notice from Sublandlord, then Subtenant shall pay to
Sublandlord a late charge equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of the amount
so payable or $1,000. Subtenant acknowledges that late payments will cause
Sublandlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Sublease, the exact amount
of which costs are extremely difficult and impracticable to calculate. The
parties agree that the late charge described above represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the extra costs incurred by Sublandlord as a result of
such late payment. Any unpaid balance of any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other
charges to be paid by the Subtenant to the Sublandlord shall bear interest, from
the date such unpaid balance shall have existed up to and including the date
such balance shall be fully paid, payable to the Sublandlord upon demand at the
prime commercial rate of Fleet Bank in Boston (or any other commercial bank, of
Sublandlord's choice, having offices and/or branches in Boston), as adjusted
from time to time, plus 2% per annum, but in no event more than the maximum rate
of interest allowed by law.
19. Destruction, Fire and other Casualty.
(a) In the event (a) the Building is destroyed, or so damaged
by a casualty coverable by insurance that Sublandlord and/or Prime Landlord is
obligated to maintain as to render more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
ground floor area thereof untenantable, or (b) the Subleased Premises or the
Building shall be destroyed or damaged to the extent of more than twenty percent
(20%) of the value thereof by any Casualty other than one coverable by insurance
that Sublandlord or Prime Landlord is obligated to maintain, then, in either of
such events, Sublandlord or Prime Landlord may at its election, exercisable by
written notice given to the Subtenant within fifty (50) days after such
casualty, terminate this Sublease as of the date designated by such party in
such notice, which designated date shall not be less than ten (10) days nor more
than twenty (20) days after the date of such notice. In the event the Subleased
Premises is destroyed or damaged, to the extent of more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the floor area thereof, then in such event, either Sublandlord or
Subtenant may at its election, exercisable by written notice given to the other
within fifty (50) days after such casualty, terminate this Sublease as of the
date designated by such party in such notice, which designated date shall not be
less than ten (10) days nor more than twenty (20) days after the date of such
notice. Notwithstanding the Subtenant's initial right to terminate this Sublease
in accordance with the terms and provisions of the next preceding sentence, the
Subtenant shall not have such right of termination in the event the Sublandlord
notifies the Subtenant within the later of (i) twenty (20) days subsequent to
the Sublandlord's receipt of the Subtenant's notice of termination, or (ii)
fifty (50) days subsequent to such casualty, that it shall cause the damaged
portion of the Subleased premises to be restored within One Hundred Eighty (180)
days subsequent to such notification.
(b) If the whole or any part of the Subleased Premises or the
Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and the Prime Lease is not
terminated on account thereof by either Sublandlord or Prime Landlord in
accordance with the terms thereof, this Sublease shall remain in full force and
effect and Base Rent and Additional Rent shall not xxxxx, except to the extent
Base Rent and Additional Rent for the Subleased Premises shall xxxxx under the
terms of the Sublease.
20. Termination in Event of Taking. If the entire Subleased Premises
becomes subject to a Taking, this Sublease shall terminate when Subtenant is
required to vacate the Subleased Premises. If by one or more Takings, the floor
area of the Subleased Premises is reduced by more than twenty percent (20%) this
Sublease may, at the option of either Sublandlord or Subtenant, be terminated as
of the date when Subtenant is required to vacate the portion of the Subleased
Premises so taken. If by one or more Takings, the floor area of the Building is
reduced by more than twenty percent (20%) this Sublease may, at the option of
Sublandlord, be terminated as of the date when Sublandlord is required to vacate
the portion of the Building so taken or as of the date when the Sublandlord or
any of the other tenants or occupants of the portion of the Building so taken
are required to vacate the same, as the case may be. Any exercise of a right of
termination pursuant to this Section of the Sublease shall be by written notice
given from one party to the other not more than thirty (30) days after the date
on which the party desiring to terminate receives notice of the Taking.
14
21. Abatement of Rent. In the event of any Casualty or Taking, a
just proportion of the Base Rent and Additional Rent paid or payable hereunder,
according to the nature and extent of the damage, shall be abated until
completion of all repairs or rebuilding or termination of this Sublease, as the
case may be; and in the case of a Taking that permanently reduces the area of
the Subleased Premises, a just proportion of the Base Rent and Additional Rent
shall be abated for the remainder of the Sublease Term.
22. Environmental Indemnification.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Sublease or in the Prime Lease, Subtenant hereby indemnifies and shall defend
and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all claims associated with the
presence of Hazardous Materials existing in, on or upon the Subleased Premises
or the Building as a result of any act of the Subtenant, its agents,
representatives, employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees.
(b) Subtenant represents and warrants that it shall not use or
cause to be used any Hazardous Materials within the Subleased Premises or within
