As used herein “Sublessee’s Proportionate Share” shall mean twenty-four and 5,145/10,000 percent (24.5145 %).

Any payment of Additional Rent and any other Rent other than Base Rent which is not received by Sublessor within five (5) days after it becomes due shall, at Sublessor's option, be subject to a late charge of seven percent (7%) of the amount thereof and such charge shall be paid by Sublessee upon demand by Sublessor, it being understood that the late fee described herein shall not be deemed a liquidated damages calculation and shall not preclude any other remedy of Sublessor under this Sublease or at law.

Provisions of Prime Lease.

As between Sublessor and Sublessee, and except to the extent otherwise herein provided to the contrary, (i) Sublessee agrees to be bound by and subject to all of the provisions of the Prime Lease and to keep, observe and perform the terms, covenants and conditions on its part to be kept, observed and performed hereunder in respect of the Subleased Premises as well as those applicable terms, covenants and conditions to be observed and performed by Sublessor as “Lessee” under the Prime Lease (such terms, covenants and conditions hereinafter called the

Primary Provisions ”), and (ii) the remedies of Sublessor hereunder shall be the same as the remedies of the “Lessor” under the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the following Sections of the Prime Lease shall not apply to Sublessee: 1, 3(h), 8a, 22, 26, 29, 32.57, 32.60, 32.61, 32.88, 32.90, 32.105, 32.116, 33-44; and 48-49, 51, or other portions of the Prime Lease which were not intended to apply to the Subleased Premises (e.g., amounts of Base Rent and Additional Rent for Sublessor). Sublessee shall in no case have any rights with respect to the Subleased Premises greater than Sublessor's rights as tenant under the Prime Lease.

Sublessee acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Prime Lease and agrees not to do, or cause to be done, any act (whether of omission or commission) which would result in a default under or breach of any term, covenant, provision or condition of the Prime Lease. Sublessee shall not have any expansion or similar rights, or first refusal or first offer rights under the Prime Lease or any rights to cancel, terminate, extend or renew the term of the Prime Lease (all collectively, the “ Ancillary Rights ”).

Sublessor may, at its sole discretion, elect to waive any particular Ancillary Right for its own benefit and to exercise such right for the benefit of or grant such right to Sublessee, subject to any restriction in the Prime Lease on Sublessor’s ability to exercise such right on behalf of Sublessee or the transferability of the right to a subtenant.

Notwithstanding anything otherwise contained in this Sublease to the contrary,

(a)          Sublessor shall not be obligated to render or provide any of the services required to be provided by Landlord under the Prime Lease or to satisfy any obligations or liabilities of the Landlord thereunder; and

(b)          Sublessor shall not have any responsibility or liability to Sublessee (i) on account of any act or omission of Landlord, any default by Landlord, or breach by Landlord of any term, covenant or condition of the Prime Lease, or any failure by Landlord to perform any of its obligations under the Prime Lease, or (ii) by reason of any condition of or in the Building or the Subleased Premises now or hereafter existing;

provided, however, that Sublessor shall, at Sublessee's request and expense, take all such reasonable actions as Sublessee shall direct to enforce Sublessor's rights and remedies under the Prime Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises or, at Sublessor’s option, authorize Sublessee to enforce the same in Sublessor’s name. Sublessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Sublessor against any loss, liability, claim, cost or expense arising out of all actions taken pursuant to the preceding sentence and Sublessee shall be entitled to receive and retain any recovery allocable to the Subleased Premises during the term of this Sublease resulting from such actions, after recovery by Sublessor of all loss, liability, claim, cost and expense due to Sublessor by Sublessee with respect to such enforcement of rights.

Sublessor agrees not to intentionally do, or intentionally cause to be done, any act (whether of omission or commission) which would result in a default under or breach of any term, covenant, provision or condition of the Prime Lease. Whenever Landlord’s consent or approval is required to be obtained under the terms of the Prime Lease as a condition to any

action, inaction, condition or event by Sublessee permitted hereunder, Sublessor shall reasonably cooperate with Sublessee in Sublessee’s attempt to obtain such consent from Landlord.

7.             Net Return . The payments of Sublessee hereunder to Sublessor are intended to constitute an absolutely net return to Sublessor with respect to the Subleased Premises, and, except to the extent of (i) the difference between the Base Rent payable hereunder and the Base Rent payable under the Prime Lease, and (ii) the difference between the Additional Rent payable under paragraph 5(b) hereunder and the Additional Rent payable under the Prime Lease for the amount by which “The Tax and Operating Expense Escalation Amount” exceeds the “The Base Tax and Operating Expense Limit” attributable to Calendar Year 2009 with respect to the Subleased Premises, all costs of any kind relating to any of the Primary Provisions attributable to the Subleased Premises, this Sublease, or the use and operation of the Subleased Premises shall be the responsibility of the Sublessee. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) whenever Sublessee requires Landlord to furnish any service or perform any act for which Landlord is entitled to make a separate charge under the Prime Lease, including, without limitation, heating, air conditioning and utilities, Sublessee shall promptly pay the same, and (ii) Sublessee shall promptly pay to Sublessor any charges billed to Sublessor from time to time, to the extent any such charges are allocable, as reasonably determined by Sublessor, for services provided to the Subleased Premises.

8.             Property Located in or about the Subleased Premises . All improvements, fixtures, equipment and personal property in or about the Subleased Premises shall be in or about the Subleased Premises at the sole risk of Sublessee. The improvements, fixtures, equipment and personal property in or about the Subleased Premises as of the Commencement Date, other than the equipment, trade fixtures and personal property of Sublessee or anyone claiming by, through or under Sublessee (as more particularly described on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof, the " Sublessor's Property ") shall be and remain the property of Sublessor and shall be kept by Sublessee in good condition and repair (subject to normal wear and tear) and shall not be removed from the Subleased Premises. Provided that Sublessee is not in default of this Sublease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, Sublessee shall have the right to use the Sublessor's Property, as well as all improvements and fixtures in or about the Subleased Premises during the term of this Sublease. Sublessor makes no warranties of any kind or nature, whether express or implied (including without limitation warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose), with respect to the Sublessor’s Property, and Sublessee accepts the Sublessor’s Property for use during the term hereof in its "as is" and "where is" condition. Sublessee shall insure the Sublessor's Property in the name of Sublessor as part of the property insurance required hereunder. Sublessor shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises during business hours and after giving Sublessee at least twenty-four (24) hours advance written notice, for the purpose of, among other things, inspecting the Subleased Premises and the Sublessor's Property. In consideration of the Rent and the additional sum of $1 payable to Sublessor, and provided that Sublessee shall not then be in default of the terms of this Sublease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, upon the end of the term of this Sublease, Sublessor shall transfer the Sublessor's Property to Sublessee in its "as is" and "where is" condition, with all representations and warranties (including without limitation warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose) hereby waived by Sublessee. Sublessee shall pay, within thirty (30) days of Sublessor’s request, any fees or taxes arising out of such transfer of Sublessor’s Property. Sublessee hereby acknowledges that it has inspected the Sublessor's

Property and waives any and all claims against Sublessor arising out of any damage, defect or condition relating to the Sublessor's Property.

9.             Surrender . At the termination of this Sublease, by lapse of time or otherwise, Sublessee shall surrender possession of the Subleased Premises to Sublessor and deliver all keys to the Subleased Premises and all locks therein to Sublessor and make known to Sublessor the combination of all combination locks in the Subleased Premises and shall return the Subleased Premises and the Sublessor's Property (to the extent the Sublessor’s Property has not been transferred to Sublessee pursuant to the terms of Section 8 of this Sublease) to Sublessor in broom clean condition and in as good condition as Sublessee originally took possession, normal wear and tear and loss by fire or other casualty excepted, failing which Sublessor may restore the Subleased Premises and the Sublessor’s Property to such condition after written notice to Sublessee and the Sublessee shall pay the reasonable cost thereof to Sublessor on demand. Upon or prior to such termination of this Sublease, Sublessee shall remove all of Sublessee's personal property (but not Landlord's personal property) and only those improvements, alterations and additions, which as a condition to Sublessor's or Landlord's consent to the installation thereof, are required to be removed and restored upon termination hereof.

10.           Assignment and Subletting .    Sublessee shall have no right to sublet the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof or assign or otherwise transfer its interest in this Sublease, whether expressly or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Sublessor (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and all other consents and approvals that may be required under the Prime Lease.
