3. PROVISIONS CONSTITUTING SUBLEASE

(a) This Sublease is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Lease, and all amendments thereto; provided, however, Sublessee’s consent must obtained for any and all amendments after the date hereof that materially adversely affect any of Sublessee’s rights thereunder. Sublessee shall in no case have any rights under this Sublease that exceed Sublessor’s rights as tenant under the Lease. Sublessee shall neither do nor permit to be done anything which would constitute a default under the Lease or cause the Lease to be terminated or forfeited by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture reserved or vested in Lessor thereunder. Sublessee shall assume and perform the obligations of Sublessor as tenant in the Lease to the extent said terms and conditions are applicable to the Premises, except as expressly set forth herein. In the event of any conflicts between the terms of the Sublease and the terms of the Lease, for all purposes hereof, the terms of the Sublease shall control; however, to the extent that an issue is not addressed in the Sublease, and also not specifically excluded herein, the terms

 

1


of the Lease shall control. Sublessee shall not commit or permit to be committed on the Premises any act or omission which shall violate any term or condition of the Lease incorporated under this Sublease. In the event of the termination of Sublessor’s interest as tenant under the Lease for any reason, other than a voluntary termination agreed to by Lessor and Sublessor, then this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously therewith without any liability of Sublessor to Sublessee.

(b) Except as otherwise set forth herein, all of the terms and conditions contained in the Lease are incorporated herein, as terms and conditions of this Sublease (with each reference therein to Lessor, as landlord, and Sublessor, as tenant, to be deemed to refer to Sublessor, as landlord, and Sublessee, as tenant, respectively), and along with all of the following paragraphs set out in this Sublease shall be the complete terms and conditions of this Sublease. The consent of Sublessor shall be required in connection with any act which requires the consent of Lessor, as landlord, pursuant to the Lease, notwithstanding that a particular provision herein may not require Sublessor’s consent or states that only Lessor’s consent is required.

(c) The terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions of the Lease are incorporated herein by reference on the following mutually accepted understandings:

(i) In any case where the Lessor reserves the right to enter the Original Premises pursuant to the Lease, said right shall inure to the benefit of the Lessor as well as to Sublessor with respect to entry onto the Premises.

(ii) With respect to the performance of any other obligations required of Lessor under the Lease, including, but not limited to, work, services, repairs, repainting and restoration, Sublessor’s sole obligation shall be to act on Sublessee’s behalf in requesting the performance of the same of Lessor, after first receiving a request in writing from Sublessee, and to use its best efforts in order to obtain the performance of the same from Lessor.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease or the Lease to the contrary, Sublessee agrees that Sublessor shall not be obligated to furnish for or to Sublessee any service of any nature whatsoever. However, in accordance with provision (ii) above, Sublessor shall act on Sublessee’s behalf in requesting the performance of such services for the Premises by Lessor pursuant to the terms of the Lease.

(iv) Since Lessor’s consent to this Sublease is required pursuant to the terms of the Lease, this Sublease and the obligations of the parties hereto shall be contingent upon Sublessor obtaining the consent of the Lessor to this Sublease. The parties hereto agree to be bound by the terms of this Sublease until such time as such consent of the Lessor has been obtained, or until such consent is deemed to have been granted pursuant to the terms of the Lease. If for any reason such consent of the Lessor is not obtained, this Sublease shall then be null and void and both parties will be released from their obligations hereunder.

 

2


(v) Notwithstanding anything in this Sublease to the contrary, this Sublease shall not incorporate any provision of the Lease nor shall Sublessee benefit from the rights or privileges contained in any provision of the Lease, which, pursuant to and in accordance with its particular terms and conditions is not applicable to subleases or assignments, or any provision of the Lease, which by its nature or pursuant to a specified prohibition contained in the Lease, is personal to Sublessor or would not convey or transfer by a sublease or assignment of all or a portion of the Original Premises.
