-------------------
in this Sublease, Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant
hereby subleases from Sublandlord, the Premises together with all easements,
rights, privileges and interests appurtenant thereto provided for under the

notice or demand. If the Commencement Date or the Expiration Date is a day
other than the first day of a calendar month, the first payment of Base Monthly
Rental and/or the last
1
payment of Base Monthly Rental shall be the pro-rata portion of such rent for
the number of days contained in such fractional month. Any payment of Base
Monthly Rental made more than seven (7) days after the Due Date with respect to
such payment shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent
(1-1/2%) per month until paid.

Sublandlord as additional rent hereunder ("Additional Rent") all additional rent
and other charges payable from time to time by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease
including, without limitation, Sublandlord's obligations under Sections 22 and

respects in accordance with the terms of, the Prime Lease.
4. Inspection. Subtenant shall, at its sole expense, submit to
-----------
periodic inspections by Landlord or its agents, on reasonable notice, to assure
compliance by Subtenant with all of the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease,
including, but not limited to, all laws, ordinances and regulations applicable
to Subtenant in its operations at the Premises, and including, but not limited
to, those concerning environmental matters. Landlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant
shall be copied on all inspection reports, and, to the extent required by the
Lease, Sublandlord shall require Subtenant to promptly remedy any issues raised
by any such inspection to the satisfaction of Sublandlord in consultation with
Landlord. Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord within thirty (30) days of
receipt of invoice for all costs and expenses incurred by Sublandlord in
