(c)     Additional Rent Due to Sublandlord. Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay the proportionate share of expenses incurred by Sublandlord with respect to the Sublease Premises, including, without limitation, (i) costs and expenses due from Subtenant and accruing to Sublandlord under this Sublease, to include, interest accruals on past-due Rent payments, costs of collection under this Sublease, and related expenses, if any, accruing to Sublandlord in enforcing its rights under this Sublease; and (ii) depreciation and other reasonably incurred operating costs incurred by Sublandlord solely with respect to the Sublease Premises.

Subtenant shall pay any late fee or returned check administrative charge on the first day of the month following the month in which such fee or charge was incurred. Upon incurrence, such fee or charge shall be deemed “additional rent”.

18.     Sublease and Assignment. Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or further sublease all or any portion of the Sublease Premises without the prior written consent of Sublandlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) and Prime Landlord, as provided in the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall not pledge its interest hereunder, allow liens to be placed on such interest, or suffer this Sublease or any portion thereof to be attached or taken upon execution. If consent is once given by Sublandlord to the assignment of this Sublease or the further sublease of the Sublease Premises or any interest therein, Sublandlord shall not be barred from subsequently refusing to consent to any further assignment or sublease, in its commercially reasonable discretion. Any attempt to sell, assign, or sublet without the consent of Sublandlord and Prime Landlord shall be deemed a default by Subtenant. This Sublease shall not be assigned by operation of law. A transfer of the controlling stock in Subtenant or a change in the entity structure of Subtenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Sublease, requiring the prior written consent of Sublandlord.

23.    Successors and Assigns. All of the terms, covenants, provisions, and conditions of this Sublease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of each of Sublandlord and Subtenant.

28.    Choice of Law. This Sublease and all transactions contemplated by this Sublease shall be governed by, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

29.    Certain Statutory Rights, Waiver of Jury Trial, and Right to Counterclaim. SUBTENANT, FOR ITSELF, AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING THROUGH OR UNDER IT, HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH ARE OR MAY BE CONFERRED UPON SUBTENANT (A) BY ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE LAW, THE EFFECT OF WHICH WOULD GRANT A NEW TRIAL IN ANY ACTION FOR EJECTION UNDER ANY PROVISION OF LAW, AFTER REENTRY UPON THE SUBLEASE PREMISES, OR ANY PART THEREOF, BY SUBLANDLORD, OR (B) AFTER SERVICE OF ANY WARRANT TO DISPOSSESS OR JUDGMENT IN EJECTION. EACH OF SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUMMARY OR OTHER ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS SUBLEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT, THE SUBLEASE PREMISES, THE USE AND OCCUPANCY THEREOF, OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGES. SUBTENANT ADDITIONALLY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO ASSERT OR INTERPOSE A COUNTERCLAIM (OTHER THAN A COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM) IN ANY PROCEEDING OR ACTION TO RECOVER OR OBTAIN POSSESSION OF THE SUBLEASE PREMISES.

30.    Counterparts. This Sublease may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. To facilitate execution, facsimile signatures shall be considered binding on the Parties; provided originals thereof are executed, delivered, and received promptly thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, non-receipt of any original counterpart shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Sublease, which shall attach upon receipt of a facsimile counterpart, as provided hereunder.

32.    Entire Agreement. This Sublease, including any exhibits or schedules hereto, contains the entire understanding among the Parties and supersedes any prior understanding or agreement between them respecting the within subject matter. There are no representations, warranties, agreements, arrangements, or understandings, oral or written, between or among the Parties relating to the subject matter of this Sublease which are not fully expressed herein.
