4.TERM. The term of this Sublease shall be thirty-five (35) months, commencing July 1, 2017 (the “Commencement Date”) (subject to the terms below) and expiring on May 31, 2020 (the “Sublease Term”). Notwithstanding the Commencement Date, subject to the Sub-Sublessee having obtained the insurance required hereunder and under the Master Lease (except for the insurance under Section 10.3.2, which shall be carried by Sublessor with respect to the FFE), and subject to the consent of Master Lessor and Sublessor to this Sublease, Sub-Sublessee shall be given access to entire Subleased Premises on June 1, 2017 (the “Sublease Delivery Date”) to begin the move-in of furniture and equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Sub-Sublessee completes the move-in of its furniture and equipment and begins operating its business in the Subleased Premises on a date prior to July 1, 2017, the “Commencement Date” shall be such earlier date, with the expiration date remaining the same as set forth in this Section 4. Any access, entry or occupancy by Sub-Sublessee and/or Sub-Sublessee’s contractors and other agents pursuant to this paragraph prior to the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be under all of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of this Sublease except the covenant to pay Rent, which shall commence as provided in Section 5 of this Sublease. In that regard, Sub-Sublessee and Sub-Sublessee’s contractors and other agents shall provide Sub-Sublessor evidence, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sub-Sublessor, that each is covered under such workers' compensation, public liability, builder's risk and property damage insurance as Sub-Sublessor, Sublessor or Master Lessor may reasonably request for the protection of such parties and the Building prior to any such entry. Except to the extent caused by or arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Sub-Sublessor or Sub-Sublessor's contractors, agents, employees or invitees, Sub-Sublessor shall not be liable for any injury, loss or damage which may occur to any person or property or to any of the furniture or equipment by virtue of any such access or entry to the Subleased Premises by Sub-Sublessee or Sub-Sublessee's contractors or agents, pursuant to this paragraph or otherwise, and Sub-Sublessee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sub-Sublessor and Sublessor from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims, liabilities and causes of action now or hereafter arising out of or in connection with any loss, injury or damage caused by or resulting from any work performed or other activities by or on behalf of Sub-Sublessee.
5.RENT. Commencing on the Commencement Date, during the first twelve-months of the Sublease Term, Sub-Sublessee covenants to pay Sub-Sublessor as annual base rent the sum of $526,348.80 (“Base Rent”), in monthly installments of $43,862.40 each (“Monthly Base Rent”). Base Rent shall increase by three percent (3%) on each anniversary of the Commencement Date on a cumulative compounding basis.
In addition to the Security Deposit required under Section 23 hereof, Sub-Sublessee shall pay Monthly Base Rent for the first month of the Sublease Term at the time of its execution of this Sublease; and if the first month is a partial month, then Sub-Sublessee shall pay Monthly Base Rent for a prorata portion of the partial first month (such portion based on the number of days remaining in such month divided by 30) plus for the first full calendar month. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Monthly Base Rent for the entire calendar month 2 of the Sublease Term shall be abated. Subject to the foregoing, Sub-Sublessee shall pay Sub-Sublessor the Monthly Base Rent, without offset or deduction, prior notice or demand, in advance on the first day of each calendar month during which such Monthly Base Rent is due pursuant to the terms hereof.
In addition to Base Rent, during the Sublease Term, Sub-Sublessee shall pay 100% of electricity used in the Subleased Premises, which shall be separately metered and paid for by Sub-Sublessee directly to the utility company. In addition, beginning on July 1, 2018 and continuing thereafter during the Sublease Term, Sub-Sublessee shall pay to Sub-Sublessor as additional rent an amount equal to Sub-Sublessee’s share (“Sub-Sublessee’s Share”) of real estate taxes and Operating Expenses (collectively, “Expenses”) for the Premises for each Expense Year that are in excess of the total amount of Expenses for the Premises incurred by Sublessor pursuant to the terms
3
and conditions of the Master Lease during calendar year 2017 (the “Base Year”). Sub-Sublessee’s Share is a percentage that reflects the ratio of the rentable square feet in the Subleased Premises (13,707 rentable square feet) to the rentable square feet in the Premises (47,188 rentable square feet), which as of the Effective Date is equal to 29%. For clarity and by way of example only, if at any time, Sub-Sublessor receives a notice that the Expenses for the Premises incurred by Sublessor for the 2018 Expense Year were $25,000 in excess of the amount of Expenses for the Premises incurred by Sublessor for the Base Year, then Sub-Sublessee would be responsible for the last six months of 2018 for the Sub-Sublessee’s Share, or the product of $25,000 multiplied by 29% multiplied by 50% (i.e., ($25,000 x 0.29) x 0.50), which is $3,625. And, if Sub-Sublessor should receive notice that the Expenses for the Premises incurred by Sublessor for the 2019 Expense Year were $25,000 in excess of the amount of Expenses for the Premises incurred by Sublessor for the Base Year, then Sub-Sublessee shall be responsible for $7,250. Sub-Sublessee’s obligation to pay Sub-Sublessee’s Share of Expenses as set forth herein shall be referred to herein as “Additional Rent.” “Additional Rent” and “Base Rent” shall be referred to collectively herein as “Rent.” In no event shall Sub-Sublessee be obligated to pay any Expenses pursuant to this Section 5 unless and until Sub-Sublessee has received the corresponding Estimate Statement from Sub-Sublessor pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease, which Sub-Sublessor shall provide after Sub-Sublessor has received the same from Sublessor, and which shall set forth the estimate of Sub-Sublessee’s Share of Expenses for the applicable Expense Year that are in excess of the total amount of Expenses for the Premises incurred by Sublessor during the Base Year (the “Estimate”). Sub-Sublessee will pay the Estimate by the later of (a) February 1 of the Expense Year to which such Estimate Statement relates, or (b) thirty (30) days following Sub-Sublessee’s receipt of such Estimate Statement. When the actual Expenses and the amount paid by Sublessor to Master Lessor pursuant to the Estimate Statement are reconciled between the Master Lessor and Sublessor for the previous Expense Year pursuant to Article 4 of the Master Lease, and in turn between Sublessor and Sub-Sublessor pursuant to the Prime Sublease, Sub-Sublessor and Sub-Sublessee will conduct a similar reconciliation of the amount paid by Sub-Sublessee pursuant to the Estimate Statement versus the actual Expenses with any overpayment paid by Sub-Sublessee to be credited to Sub-Sublessee’s future Expenses obligations and any underpayment to be paid by Sub-Sublessee to Sub-Sublessor within thirty (30) days of the completion of such reconciliation. In the event Sub-Sublessor receives an Estimate Notice after the expiration of the Sublease Term, then Sub-Sublessor and Sub-Sublesse shall reconcile the 2020 Expense Year in the manner provided above and this obligation shall survive expiration of this Sublease. In the final calendar year of the Sublease Term, any such Expenses overpayment or underpayment will be paid directly to the party to which such overpayment or underpayment is due by check in the amount of such overpayment or underpayment within thirty (30) days of the completion of such reconciliation. If the Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a month, Rent for the month in which the Commencement Date occurs shall be prorated on a daily basis, as provided above. Sub-Sublessee’s obligation to pay Additional Rent for the final calendar year of the Sublease Term shall be prorated on a monthly basis based upon the number of months remaining in the Sublease Term during such calendar year. Rent shall be paid to Sub-Sublessor as follows: prior to the Commencement Date (unless a different address is provided by Sub-Sublessor in writing): 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxxx, XX 00000, Attn: Chief Financial Officer; after the Commencement Date (unless a different address is provided by Sub-Sublessor in writing): x/x Xxxxxx, Xxx., 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000; Attn: Chief Financial Officer. Where permitted by applicable law, if any payment of Rent is not paid when due, Sub-Sublessee shall pay Sub-Sublessor upon demand, as a late charge, an amount equal to five percent (5%) of each Rent installment, or any part thereof, which is overdue for more than ten (10) days.
So long as Sub-Sublessee is not in default hereunder after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Sub-Sublessor shall make commercially reasonable efforts to cause Sublessor and/or Master Lessor, as applicable, to provide to and for the benefit of the Subleased Premises each and all of the services which Sublessor and/or Master Lessor, as applicable, is required to provide to and for the benefit of the Sub-Subleased Premises pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Master Lease and/or Primes Sublease, as applicable.

Sub-Sublessor shall deliver the Subleased Premises to Sub-Sublessee with professionally steam-cleaned carpeting and walls free of prominent marks and smudges. Sub-Sublessee shall, at all times during the Sublease Term, keep and maintain the Subleased Premises in good condition and repair as required by the Master Lease and the Prime Sublease.
8.INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATIONS. From the date on which Sub-Sublessee first enters the Premises to move in furniture and equipment or the Commencement Date, whichever is earlier, and thereafter during the Sublease Term, Sub-Sublessee shall, at Sub-Sublessee’s expense, keep in effect (i) a policy of comprehensive general liability insurance applicable to the Subleased Premises with a company and in amounts as required under the Master Lease, which policy shall name Sub-Sublessor, Sublessor and Master Lessor as additional insureds; (ii) a policy of Workers’ Compensation insurance in at least the statutory amounts; and (iii) insurance covering loss to Sub-Sublessee’s personal property by fire or other casualty in accordance with the provisions of the Master Lease. Sub-Sublessee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublessor and Sub-Sublessor from and against any loss, claim, damage, expense or injury to persons or property caused by or arising out of (i) use and occupancy by Sub-Sublessee, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, of the Subleased Premises; (ii) Sub-Sublessee’s default in the performance of its obligations hereunder or under the terms of the Master Lease, Prime Sublease, the Consent or any other consent executed in connection herewith; or (iii) any negligent or willful misconduct Sub-Sublessee, its agents, employees, contractors, licensees or invitees (each a, “Sub-Sublessee Party”), except to the extent caused by or arising out of Sublessor’s or Sub-Sublessor’s negligence or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding Section 9 of the Prime Sublease, Sub-Sublessee is obligated to maintain Broad Form contractual liability coverage, as provided in in the Master Lease. Except to the extent caused by or arising out of Sub-Sublessee’s or a Sub-Sublessee Party’s negligence or willful misconduct, Sub-Sublessor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sub-Sublessee from and against any loss, claim, damage, expense or injury to persons or property caused by or arising out of Sub-Sublessor’s negligence, intentional misconduct or default in the performance of its obligations hereunder or under the terms of the Master Lease or the Prime Sublease. Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary (i) the provisions of Section 10.3.3 of the Master Lease shall apply as between Sub-Sublessor and Sub-Sublessee and (ii) neither party shall be responsible to the other hereunder for any special, indirect, or consequential damages.
9.SURRENDER. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Sub-Sublessee shall surrender the Subleased Premises to Sub-Sublessor in broom clean condition in the same condition as on the Commencement Date hereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Sub-Sublessee warrants and covenants that it will pay the full cost of any repairs or maintenance necessary to restore the Subleased Premises to the same condition as on the Commencement Date hereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and subject to Master Lessor’s or Sublessor’s requirements that Sub-Sublessee remove any of its later- approved alterations and restore the Subleased Premises, provided such requirements shall have been communicated to Sub-Sublessee in writing along with Master Lessor’s or Sublessor’s consent to the plans for the alterations; provided that Sub-Sublessee requests in writing at the time of its submission of its plans for the alterations a decision from Master Lessor and Sublessor regarding restoration. Sub-Sublessee shall be responsible for Sub-Sublessor’s obligations to restore under the Prime Sublease; provided, however, Sub-Sublessee shall have no obligation to remove any alterations made to the Sublease Premises by Sub-Sublessor prior to the Commencement Date nor shall Sub-Sublessee have any obligation to return the Subleased Premises to a better condition than existed on the Commencement Date.

A change in control of Sub-Sublessee shall be an assignment hereunder. Sub-Sublessor reserves the right to recapture the Subleased Premises in the event Sub-Sublessee intends to further sublease or to assign its rights hereunder on the same terms applicable to Master Lessor under the Master Lease. In the event Sub-Sublessor desires to exercise such right of recapture, it will provide notice of recapture to Sub-Sublessee within thirty (30) days of Sub-Sublessor’s receipt of notice from Sub-Sublessee of its request for consent to an assignment or sublease.

If Sub-Sublessee shall default (i) in the payment of Rent as required hereunder, when and as due, unless such default is cured within three (3) business days after receipt of written notice that the same was not paid when due, or (ii) if Sub-Sublessee shall default in the performance of any of the other terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease which default remains uncured for twenty (20) days after Sub-Sublessee’s receipt of written notice; provided, that if the nature of such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a twenty-day period, Sub-Sublessee shall not be deemed to be in default if it diligently commences such cure within such period and thereafter diligently proceeds to rectify and cure such default, or (iii) if any act or omission of Sub-Sublessee would be a default with respect to a provision of the Master Lease were Sub-Sublessee the tenant thereunder, except where such provision conflicts with a provision of this Sublease, then Sub-Sublessor may (aa) avail itself of any remedy available to the Master Lessor under the Master Lease; (bb) avail itself of any statutory remedy provided by the laws of the state in which the Subleased Premises are situated; (cc) re‑enter, retake and repossess the Premises with or without notice or summary process; and/or (dd) terminate this Sublease but such termination must be in writing by Sub-Sublessor.

Sub-Sublessee accepts the FFE in its “AS IS,” “WHERE-IS” condition, with no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, from Sublessor, Sub-Sublessor or Brokers with respect to the same. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease Term, Sub-Sublessee agrees that it will accept ownership of the FFE by Xxxx of Sale directly from Sublessor, and to the extent any FFE is owned by Sub-Sublessor by Xxxx of Sale from Sub-Sublessor, pursuant to which the amount payable by Sub-Sublessee for such FFE shall be $1, and that Sub-Sublessee shall be responsible for removing all FFE from the Subleased Premises as required hereunder and under the Master Lease and the Prime Sublease and for repairing any damage to the Subleased Premises caused by such removal.
