PERFORMANCE BY PRIME LESSOR OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE PRIME LEASE OR BY
SUBLESSOR OF ANY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS SUBLEASE (OTHER THAN SUBLESSOR'S
OBLIGATION TO NOT DISTURB SUBLESSEE'S QUIET ENJOYMENT OF THE PREMISES) OR BY
PRIME LESSOR OF ITS DUTIES OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE PRIME LEASE, WHETHER EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED.
2.04 Services. Subject to the following limitations, Sublessor shall
--------
furnish Sublessee while Sublessee is occupying the Premises and is not in

to provide (i) water (hot and cold) at those points of supply provided for
general use of tenants in the Building and at existing locations within the
Premises; (ii) heated and refrigerated air conditioning in season; and at such
temperatures and in such amounts as are appropriate and commercially reasonable
in the conduct of the Business; (iii) janitorial service to the Premises as is
commercially reasonable on weekdays other than holidays recognized by Sublessor,
(iv) receptionist service as is commercially reasonable from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00

its employees, agents or invitees, to the extent required under the Prime Lease.
Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor for the cost of these services as more
particularly described below. Sublessor's failure to any extent to make
available, or any slowdown, stoppage or interruption of, the services set forth
in this Section 2.4 resulting from any cause (including, but not limited to,
Sublessor's compliance with (i) governmental or business guidelines now or
hereafter published or (ii) any requirements now or hereafter established by any
governmental agency, board or bureau with jurisdiction over the operation and
maintenance of the Building) shall not render Sublessor liable in any respect
for damages to person, property or business, nor be construed an eviction of
Sublessee or work an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Sublessee from fulfilling
any covenant or agreement hereof; however, Sublessor shall use reasonable
efforts to resume said services in a timely manner. Should any equipment or
machinery furnished by Sublessor break down or cease
-4-
to function properly, Sublessor shall use reasonable diligence to repair same
promptly, but Sublessee shall have no claim for abatement of Rent or damages on
account of an interruption in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an interruption of a service which is
essential to Sublessee's use and occupancy of the Premises for the use permitted
herein occurs because of the negligence of Sublessor or its agents or employees,
and continues for a period of two (2) consecutive business days, the Rent
otherwise due hereunder will xxxxx commencing the third consecutive day and
continuing until the first day upon which the essential service again is
provided.
ARTICLE III
SUBLEASE TERM; SURRENDER OF POSSESSION
3.01 Sublease Term. The term of this Sublease ("Sublease Term") shall
-------------
commence on April 1, 1996 (the "Commencement Date") and shall terminate on May
31, 2001, unless sooner terminated under the terms and provisions hereof.
3.02 Surrender of the Premises. At the termination of this Sublease, by
-------------------------
lapse of time or otherwise, Sublessee shall deliver up the Premises to Sublessor
in as good condition as on the Commencement Date, expecting only ordinary wear
and tear and matters for which Sublessor is responsible thereunder. Upon such
termination of this Sublease, Sublessor shall have the right to re-enter and
resume possession of the Premises.
3.03 Holding Over. If Sublessee holds over the Premises after expiration
------------
of this Sublease without prior written consent of Sublessor and Prime Lessor,
Sublessee shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant at sufferance
at a daily rental equal to one thirtieth (1/30th) of two hundred percent (200%)
of the Rent (hereinafter defined), and otherwise subject to all the conditions,
provisions and obligations of this Sublease insofar as the same are applicable
to a tenancy at sufferance. In addition, Sublessee shall indemnify and defend
Sublessor from all loss, cost, claims and damages (including consequential
damages) which Sublessor may suffer by reason of such holdover. The inclusion
of this Section 3.03 shall not be deemed Sublessor's or Prime Lessor's consent
to any holding over.
ARTICLE IV
RENT
4.01 Rent. Sublessee, in consideration for the lease of the Premises,
----
agrees to pay Sublessor rental (the "Rent") in the amount of TWELVE AND NO/100
DOLLARS ($12.00) per square foot of the Premises per year. The Rent shall be
paid in advance in equal monthly installments of Forty-one Thousand Seven
Hundred Eight and 12/100 Dollars ($41,708.12) each, as provided in Section 4.02.
4.02 Payment of Rentals. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, at Sublessor's
------------------
address set forth herein, the Rent without deduction or setoff (except as
provided in the Agreement), for each
-5-
month of the Sublease Term. One such monthly installment shall be payable by
Sublessee to Sublessor contemporaneously with the execution of this Sublease,
and a like monthly installment of Rent shall be due and payable without demand
beginning on the first day of the first full calendar month of the Sublease Term
and continuing thereafter on or before the first day of each succeeding calendar
month during the Sublease Term. If any installment of Rent, or any portion
thereof, is not received by the due date thereof, then (without in any way
implying Sublessor's consent to such late payment) Sublessee agrees to pay, in
addition to said installment of Rent, a late payment charge equal to the sum of
(a) one percent (1%) of the installment of Rent, or portion thereof, which is
overdue and (b) any sum which Sublessor may be required to pay to Prime Lessor
by reason of late payment under the Prime Lease, it being understood that said
late payment charge shall be for the purpose of reimbursing Sublessor for the
additional costs and expenses which Sublessor presently expects to incur in
connection with the handling and processing of late installment payments of the
Rent which become owing by Sublessee to Sublessor hereunder.
4.03 Reimbursement for Services, Taxes and Insurance. The Rent has been
-----------------------------------------------
calculated based on the current cost to Sublessor of paying the expenses of the
Property and providing to the Premises the services described in Section 2.04
above. Sublessor and Sublessee intend that Sublessee shall (ans Sublessee
expressly agrees to) reimburse Sublessor (a) to the extent the cost of providing
to Sublessee the services described in Section 2.04 above exceeds the cost
previously incurred by Sublessor to provide such services to the Premises and
(b) to the extent Sublessee's share (determined by dividing the number of square
feet in the Premises by the number of square feet in the Building) of the taxes
and insurance payable by Sublessor with respect to the Property exceeds the cost
to Sublessor of the taxes and insurance for 1995. In that regard, Sublessor, at
Sublessor's expense, may install submeters to measure the amount of water,
wastewater, de-ionized water, compressed air and electricity utilized by
Sublessee within the Premises, and to measure the rated heat load of equipment
introduced by Sublessee into the Premises. Furthermore, Sublessor and Sublessee
shall agree upon the costs of all such services which shall be deemed incurred
by Sublessor for providing these services during the period when Sublessor
operated its business from the Premises. Where submeters are used, the excess
cost payable to Sublessee shall be calculated by multiplying the excess amount
by the rate(s) charged to Sublessor by the applicable service providers;
provided, however, that with respect to electricity, an additional cost shall be
charged to reflect the increase in the rated heat load because of the equipment
installed by Sublessee in the Premises, and at such time as Sublessor deems
appropriate, based upon the rated heat load generated by the equipment within
the Premises. Sublessor may require Sublessee to install, at Sublessee's
expense, additional air conditioning units with sufficient capacity to handle
the increased heat load. With respect to janitorial service, the cost payable by
Sublessee shall be determined based upon the janitorial service provider's bid.
Sublessor may estimate such excess cost and xxxx same to Sublessee on a monthly
basis, with a reconciliation at the end of each calendar year, or may xxxx
Sublessee for excess costs in arrears as incurred.
ARTICLE V
-6-

or leaving the Premises must comply with Sublessor's security procedures,
including wearing identification badges, being accompanied by Sublessor's
personnel, card access controls and such other methods as Sublessor may elect to
use from time to time. Sublessee further understands that Sublessee's agents,
employees, contractors, invitees and visitors shall not be permitted in the
