        6.     Other Charges. During the Term of this Sublease, Sublessee will pay to Sublessor "Lessee's Share" (as such term is defined in the Master Lease) of any Operating Expense Increases payable by Sublessor pursuant to Paragraph 4.2 of the Master Lease.

        9.     The Master Lease. This Sublease is subject to the Master Lease. The provisions of the Master Lease are applicable to this Sublease as though landlord under the Master Lease were the Sublessor under this Sublease and tenant under the Master Lease were Sublessee under this Sublease; provided, however, that all communications between Sublessee and Landlord shall be through Sublessor only. Sublessee has received a copy of the Master Lease. Sublessee will not cause or allow to be caused any default under the Master Lease.

        11.   Subsequent Subleases, Assignments and Modifications. Sublessee shall not further sublet the Premises or any portion thereof, nor assign, amend or modify this Sublease, without the express prior written consent of Sublessor, which consent may be withheld by Sublessor in its sole and absolute discretion.. Any attempted further subletting of the Premises or assignment, amendment or modification of this Sublease without the express prior written consent of Sublessor shall be void ab initio and shall constitute a material default by Sublessee under this Sublease.

        12.   Attorneys' Fees. In the event suit is brought to enforce or interpret any part of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover as an element of his costs of suit, and not as damages, reasonable attorneys' fees to be fixed by the court.
