THIS SUBLEASE (this “Sublease”) is made and entered into as of the 15th day of November, 2013, by and between CAPITALSOURCE FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Sublandlord”), and ABACUS TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Subtenant”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, by that certain Office Lease Agreement dated as of April 27, 2007, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Lease dated as of August 25, 2008, Amendment No. 2 to Lease dated as of February 17, 2009, and Amendment No. 3 to Lease dated as of April 8, 2010 (collectively and together with any other amendments thereto, the “Prime Lease”), Wisconsin Place Office LLC (“Landlord”) leases to Sublandlord certain premises (the “Master Premises”) in the building known as Wisconsin Place and located at 5404 Wisconsin Avenue, Chevy Chase, Maryland (the “Building”); and
WHEREAS, subject to the consent of Landlord, Subtenant desires to sublease from Sublandlord, and Sublandlord desires to sublease to Subtenant, a portion of the Master Premises consisting of approximately 16,220 square feet of rentable area of the eleventh (11th) floor of the Building, in the space identified as “Tenant #1” on Exhibit A hereto (hereinafter referred to as the “Subleased Premises”), all upon the terms and subject to the conditions and provisions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree as follows:
1.Demise; Use. Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord the Subleased Premises for the term and rental and upon the other terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to be used and occupied by Subtenant solely for general office use and for no other purpose.
2.Term; Sublease Year; Termination Option.
(a) The “Effective Date” of the Sublease shall be the date upon which the last of the following occurs: (i) each of Subtenant and Sublandlord have executed and delivered this Sublease and (ii) Landlord has delivered its consent to this Sublease, as required under Section 23 hereof.
(b) The term of this Sublease shall commence on the May 1, 2014 (the “Commencement Date”), and unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof, shall terminate on May 25, 2024 or any earlier date as of which the Prime Lease may be terminated.
(c) Early Entry.
(i) As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, Sublandlord shall permit Subtenant and its contractors to enter the Subleased Premises for the exclusive purpose of measuring the Subleased Premises and performing other planning activities that are necessary as a precursor to the Subtenant Work (as hereinafter defined). The scheduling and coordination of Subtenant’s contractors will be subject to regulation by Sublandlord to avoid interferences with labor employed by Sublandlord.
(ii) Upon written request from Subtenant delivered after completion of the Sublandlord Work, Sublandlord may elect (which election must be in writing), in its sole discretion, to permit Subtenant and its contractors and workmen to enter the Sublease Premises for the exclusive purposes of coordinating and performing the Subtenant Work (as hereinafter defined) and relocating its services and equipment within the Subleased Premises. The license permitted under this subsection (ii) shall be subject to (A) Subtenant’s providing Sublandlord with evidence of commercial general liability insurance in amounts reasonably required by Sublandlord, the requirements of subsection (iii) below, and such other terms and conditions as Sublandlord may impose in its sole discretion.
(iii) The licenses to enter prior to the Commencement Date (but after the Effective Date) set forth in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, however, are conditioned upon Subtenant’s contractors working in harmony and not interfering with the labor employed by Sublandlord. Any such entry before the Commencement Date shall be subject to all terms of this Sublease, except the covenant to pay Base Rent; provided, that no such early entry shall be deemed to constitute occupancy by Subtenant or change the Commencement Date. Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord, Sublandlord’s affiliates, and any of their respective agents, employees, licensees, servants, invitees, or contractors from any damage to the Building, the Subleased Premises or any persons caused by Subtenant or Subtenant’s agents, employees, licensees, servants, invitees, or contractors during such period of early entry or otherwise in connection with the Subtenant Work.
(d) Subtenant shall have a one-time right to terminate the Lease (the “Termination Option”) on the last day of the sixtieth (60th) full calendar month following the Commencement Date (the “Termination Date”) by providing Sublandlord with written notice of its election to exercise the Termination Option no later than ten (10) months prior to the Termination Date; provided, however, that (i) both as of the date Subtenant delivers the aforesaid notice and as of the Termination Date no Event of Default has occurred, and (ii) Subtenant delivers the Termination Fee (as hereinafter defined) to Sublandlord on or before that date that is twenty (20) days following Sublandlord’s delivery to Subtenant of Sublandlord’s calculation of the Termination Fee. Time is of the essence with respect to the foregoing. The term “Termination Fee” shall mean the amount equal to the then unamortized portion of the Leasing Costs (as hereinafter defined) with (for purposes of such calculation) such costs being amortized in equal monthly installments over the period commencing on the Commencement Date and expiring on May 25, 2024 at three percent (3%) per annum simple interest. The term “Leasing Cost” shall include the amount of all Base Rent abated pursuant to Section 3(c), all costs incurred by Sublandlord in connection with any alterations to the Subleased Premises other than the Subtenant Work, the Sublandlord’s Contribution, and all brokerage and/or leasing commissions associated with this Sublease. If Sublandlord and Subtenant amend this Sublease in the future, the Leasing Costs shall be appropriately adjusted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term Leasing Cost shall not include those costs incurred by Sublandlord solely in connection with the Sublandlord Work. The Termination Option is personal to Subtenant, may not be exercised by any other party, and shall become null and void upon the occurrence of an assignment of the Sublease or a sublet of all or a part of the Subleased Premises.
3.Base Rent.
(a) Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord base rental (“Base Rent”) for the Subleased Premises as follows:
Period | Annual Base Rent per Rentable Square Foot |
5/1/14 – 4/30/15 | $45.00 |
5/1/15 – 4/30/16 | $46.13 |
5/1/16 – 4/30/17 | $47.28 |
5/1/17 – 4/30/18 | $48.46 |
5/1/18 – 4/30/19 | $49.67 |
5/1/19 – 4/30/20 | $50.91 |
5/1/20 – 4/30/21 | $52.19 |
5/1/21 – 4/30/22 | $53.49 |
5/1/22 – 4/30/23 | $54.83 |
5/1/23 – 4/30/24 | $56.20 |
5/1/24 – 5/25/24 | $57.60 |
Base Rent shall be due and payable in equal monthly installments. Except as provided in Section 3(c) below, each such installment shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month of the term hereof. If the term of this Sublease commences on a day other than the first day of a month or ends on a day other than the last day of a month, Base Rent for such month shall be prorated; prorated Base Rent for any such partial first month of the term hereof shall be paid on the date on which the term commences. Concurrently with its execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the installment of Base Rent due for the first full calendar month within the term of this Sublease following the abatement period described in Section 3(c) below, which sum is $60,825.00.
(b) All Base Rent and additional rent shall be paid without any notice, setoff or deduction whatsoever, and shall be paid to Sublandlord at its address set forth in Section 15 below or at such other place as Sublandlord may designate by notice to Subtenant.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, so long as no Event of Default has occurred, Base Rent payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord as provided above shall be abated with respect to the period commencing on the Commencement Date and expiring on January 31, 2015 (the “Rent Abatement Period”).
(d) Sublandlord and Subtenant stipulate that the rentable square footage of the Subleased Premises shall be 16,220 for all purposes of this Sublease and, notwithstanding any provision of the Prime Lease to the contrary, shall not be subject to remeasurement.
4.Additional Rent; Payments; Interest.
(a) In addition to the Base Rent described above, commencing on January 1, 2015, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as additional rent, Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes with respect to the Subleased Premises in accordance with the provisions of the Prime Lease; provided, however, that Subtenant shall be liable only for increases in Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes above a calendar year 2014 base year, as shown on the statement submitted by Landlord to Sublandlord for calendar year 2014 and each calendar year thereafter, which statements shall be submitted by Sublandlord to Subtenant, along with a computation of Subtenant’s share of any such increase. Subtenant’s share of increases in the Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes shall be determined in accordance with Section 4.1(b) of the Prime Lease, except that the term “Premises” as used therein shall be deemed to refer to the Subleased Premises. Sublandlord estimates, as of the date of this Sublease, that Subtenant shall be responsible for 12.03% of Sublandlord’s share of increases in Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes.
(b) Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all other amounts payable by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease to the extent attributable to the Subleased Premises (as distinguished from the Master Premises generally) or attributable to Subtenant, its agents, employees, customers or invitees. By way of example and not by way of limitation, charges by Landlord for furnishing air conditioning or heating to the Subleased Premises at times in addition to those certain times specified in the Prime Lease, charges by Landlord for supplemental heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment or the use thereof, costs incurred by Landlord in repairing damage to the Building caused by an employee of Subtenant, increased insurance premiums due as a result of Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises, and amounts expended or incurred by Landlord on account of any default by Subtenant which gives rise to a default under the Prime Lease would be amounts payable by Subtenant pursuant to this Section 4(b).
(c) Each amount due pursuant to Section 4(a) and 4(b) above and each other amount payable by Subtenant hereunder, unless a date for payment of such amount is provided for elsewhere in this Sublease, shall be due and payable on the tenth day following the date on which Landlord or Sublandlord has given notice to Subtenant of the amount thereof, but in no event later than the date on which any such amount is due and payable under the Prime Lease.
(d) All amounts other than Base Rent payable to Sublandlord under this Sublease shall be deemed to be additional rent due under this Sublease. All past due installments of Base Rent and additional rent shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the rate per annum that is applicable to late payments pursuant to the Prime Lease, unless a lesser rate shall then be the maximum rate permissible by law with respect thereto, in which event said lesser rate shall be charged. All past due installments of Base Rent and additional rent shall be subject to the same late charges as are applicable to late payments under the Prime Lease.
(e) Subtenant shall pay directly to Landlord on or before the applicable due dates for all services requested by Subtenant that are billed by Landlord directly to Subtenant rather than through Sublandlord.
5. | Condition of Subleased Premises; Sublandlord Work; Subtenant Work. |
(a) Subtenant accepts the Subleased Premises in their current “as-is” condition; provided, however, that prior to the Commencement Date, Sublandlord, at its cost, will (collectively, the “Sublandlord Work”) (i) build-out the cross-hatched area shown on Exhibit B attached hereto (“Corridor Improvement Area”) as necessary to convert the eleventh (11th) floor of the Building from a single tenant floor to a multiple tenant floor, as shown on Exhibit B, substantially in accordance with the specifications shown on Exhibits B and B-1 attached hereto, and (ii) finishing of the demising walls to be installed in the Corridor Improvement Area that face the Subleased Premises and repairs/paint to certain walls within the Subleased Premises substantially in accordance with the specifications shown on Exhibits B and B-1 attached hereto.
(b) Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense (subject to Landlord’s Contribution), shall be responsible for the full performance of the Subtenant Work described on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof. Upon the substantial completion of the Subtenant Work, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord complete “as built” computer aided design files for the Subleased Premises.
(c) Subtenant’s taking possession of the Subleased Premises shall be conclusive evidence as against Subtenant that the Subleased Premises were in good order and satisfactory condition when Subtenant took possession. Upon the expiration of the term hereof, or upon any earlier termination of the term hereof or of Subtenant’s right to possession, Subtenant shall surrender the Subleased Premises in at least as good condition as at the commencement of the term hereof, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Subtenant takes possession of the Subleased Premises prior to the substantial completion of the Sublandlord Work, then Landlord shall remain obligated to complete any Punch List Work. “Punch List Work” shall mean minor adjustments or repairs to the Sublandlord Work and/or items of incomplete Sublandlord Work that do not prevent the Subtenant from occupying the Subleased Premises for the normal conduct of its business. If the Sublandlord Work is not substantially complete by the Commencement Date such that Subtenant is not able to occupy the Subleased Premises for the normal conduct of its business, then the expiration of the Rent Abatement Period provided for in Section 3(c) shall be extended by the number of days that Subtenant is unable to occupy the Subleased Premises for the normal conduct of its business due to a delay in the substantial completion of the Sublandlord Work. For example, if due to the Sublandlord Work not being substantially complete, Subtenant were unable to occupy the Subleased Premises for the normal conduct of its business until May 6, 2014 (five (5) days after the Commencement Date), then the Rent Abatement Period would then expire on February 5, 2015.
(d) Upon substantial completion of the Sublandlord Work, Sublandlord or its representative shall prepare a detailed list of Punch List Work to be corrected; and Sublandlord shall deliver a copy of the detailed punch list to Subtenant at its address for notices in this Sublease. Sublandlord and Subtenant shall schedule a Punch List Work walk through at which Sublandlord or its representative and Subtenant or its representative shall be present to discuss the list of Punch List Work. All Punch List Work shall be completed promptly following the Punch List Work walk through.
6.The Prime Lease.
(a) This Sublease and all rights of Subtenant hereunder and with respect to the Subleased Premises are subject and subordinate to the terms, conditions and provisions of the Prime Lease. Subtenant hereby assumes and agrees to perform faithfully and be bound by, with respect to the Subleased Premises, all of Sublandlord’s obligations, covenants, agreements and liabilities under the Prime Lease and all terms, conditions, provisions and restrictions contained in the Prime Lease except:
(i) for the payment of Base Rent, Operating Expenses, and Real Estate Taxes in amounts other than as set forth in this Sublease;
(ii) that Subtenant shall not have any obligation or right to construct or install leasehold improvements except as may be expressly provided herein; and
(iii) that the following provisions of the Prime Lease do not apply to this Sublease: (A) any provisions in the Prime Lease allowing or purporting to allow Sublandlord any rent concessions or abatements or construction allowances, (B) any provisions of the Prime Lease granting Sublandlord any expansion options, renewal options, termination options, or rights of first offer or first refusal, and (C) any provisions in the Prime Lease that relate solely to the portion of the Master Premises that does not include the Subleased Premises or any other rights granted to Subtenant hereunder.
(b) Without limitation of the foregoing:
(i) Subtenant shall not make any changes, alterations or additions in or to the Subleased Premises, except the Subtenant Work or as otherwise expressly provided herein, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed;
(ii) If Subtenant desires to take any other action and the Prime Lease would require that Sublandlord obtain the consent of Landlord before undertaking any action of the same kind, Subtenant shall not undertake the same without the prior written consent of Sublandlord. Sublandlord may condition its consent on the consent of Landlord being obtained and may require Subtenant to contact Landlord directly for such consent;
(iii) All rights given to Landlord and its agents and representatives by the Prime Lease to enter the Master Premises shall inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and its agents and representatives with respect to the Subleased Premises;
(iv) Sublandlord shall also have all other rights, privileges, options, reservations and remedies granted or allowed to or held by Landlord under the Prime Lease;
(v) With respect to the insurance required to be maintained under clause (2) of Section 13.3(a) of the Prime Lease, Subtenant’s obligations shall be limited to maintaining all-risk property insurance for the full replacement value of the Furniture and Subtenant’s fixtures and personal property located within the Subleased Premises (“Subtenant’s Property Insurance”). Subtenant shall otherwise maintain insurance of the kinds and in the amounts required to be maintained by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease. All policies of liability insurance shall name as additional insureds Landlord and Sublandlord and their respective officers, directors or partners, as the case may be, and the respective agents and employees of each of them. All policies of insurance maintained by Subtenant in connection with this Sublease or the Subleased Premises will be written as primary policy coverage and not contributing to or in excess of any coverage which Landlord and/or Sublandlord may carry. Upon the earlier of the Commencement Date or Subtenant’s entry into the Subleased Premises to perform the Subtenant Work and thereafter not later than thirty (30) days before any scheduled date of expiration of such insurance, Subtenant shall furnish Sublandlord with certificates of insurance evidencing that Subtenant is carrying the insurance required to be carried by Subtenant hereunder. If Sublandlord elects to reconstruct the Subleased Premises following a casualty in accordance with the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall use any available proceeds of Subtenant’s Property Insurance to reconstruct, repair, and replace Subtenant’s fixtures and personal property located within the Subleased Premises;
(vi) Subtenant shall not do anything or suffer or permit anything to be done which could result in a default under the Prime Lease or permit the Prime Lease to be cancelled or terminated; and
(vii) Sublandlord shall promptly deliver to Subtenant any notice of default received by Sublandlord from Landlord; and Subtenant shall promptly deliver to Sublandlord any notice of default received by Subtenant from Landlord.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Prime Lease that may appear to be to the contrary, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby agree as follows:
(i) Subtenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer or permit the transfer of this Sublease or any interest of Subtenant in this Sublease, by operation of law or otherwise, or permit the use of the Subleased Premises or any part thereof by any persons other than Subtenant and Subtenant’s employees, or sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord and Sublandlord (which consent of Sublandlord shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed);
(ii) Neither rental nor other payments hereunder shall abate by reason of any damage to or destruction of the Subleased Premises, the Master Premises or the Building or any part thereof, unless, and then only to the extent that, rental and such other payments actually abate under the Prime Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises on account of such event;
(iii) Subtenant shall not have any right to any portion of the proceeds of any award for a condemnation or other taking, or a conveyance in lieu thereof, of all or any portion of the Building, the Master Premises or the Subleased Premises;
(iv) Subtenant shall not have any right to exercise or have Sublandlord exercise any option under the Prime Lease, including, without limitation, any option to extend the term of the Prime Lease or lease additional space; and
(v) Subject to Section 6(a) above, as between Sublandlord and Subtenant, in the event of any conflict between the terms, conditions and provisions of the Prime Lease and of this Sublease, the terms, conditions and provisions of this Sublease shall, in all instances, govern and control.
(d) It is expressly understood and agreed that Sublandlord does not assume and shall not have any of the obligations or liabilities of Landlord under the Prime Lease and that Sublandlord is not making the representations or warranties, if any, made by Landlord in the Prime Lease. With respect to work, services, repairs and restoration or the performance of other obligations required of Landlord under the Prime Lease, Sublandlord’s sole obligation with respect thereto shall be to request the same, upon written request from Subtenant, and to use reasonable efforts to obtain the same from Landlord (including taking such reasonable actions as may necessary to enforce Sublandlord’s rights under the Prime Lease), at no expense to Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall not be liable in damages, nor shall rent abate hereunder, for or on account of any failure by Landlord to perform the obligations and duties imposed on it under the Prime Lease.
(e) Nothing contained in this Sublease shall be construed to create privity of estate or contract between Subtenant and Landlord, except the agreements of Subtenant in Sections 10 and 11 hereof in favor of Landlord, and then only to the extent of the same.
7.Default by Subtenant.
(a) Upon the happening of any of the following (each, an “Event of Default”):
(i) Subtenant fails to pay any Base Rent within five (5) days after written notice to Subtenant; provided, however, that Sublandlord shall only be required to provide written notice of such failure to pay Base Rent when due two (2) times in any eighteen (18) month period and on the third time in such eighteen (18) month period that an installment of Base Rent remains unpaid when due, it shall be an Event of Default without notice;
(ii) Subtenant fails to pay any other amount when due from Subtenant hereunder and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice thereof from Sublandlord to Subtenant;
(iii) Subtenant fails to perform or observe any other covenant or agreement set forth in this Sublease and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof from Sublandlord to Subtenant; however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within such fifteen (15) day period, then provided that Subtenant commences curative action within such fifteen (15) day period and proceeds diligently and in good faith thereafter to cure such failure, such cure period shall be extended for the period necessary to complete such cure, but not to exceed sixty (60) days; or
(iv) any other event occurs which involves Subtenant or the Subleased Premises and which would constitute a default under the Prime Lease if it involved Sublandlord or the Master Premises;
Subtenant shall be deemed to be in default hereunder, and Sublandlord may, without limitation of any other rights and remedies available to it hereunder or at law or in equity and exercise any and all other rights and remedies of Landlord set forth in the Prime Lease in the event of a default by Sublandlord thereunder.
(b) In the event Subtenant fails or refuses to make any payment or perform any covenant or agreement to be performed hereunder by Subtenant, Sublandlord may make such payment or undertake to perform such covenant or agreement (but shall not have any obligation to Subtenant to do so). In such event, amounts so paid and amounts expended in undertaking such performance, together with all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Sublandlord in connection therewith, together with interest on all of the foregoing at the rate specified in Section 4(d) above as applicable to late payments of rent, shall be due as additional rent hereunder.
8.Nonwaiver. Failure of Sublandlord to declare any default or delay in taking any action in connection therewith shall not waive such default. No receipt of moneys by Sublandlord from Subtenant after the termination in any way of the term or of Subtenant’s right of possession hereunder or after the giving of any notice shall reinstate, continue or extend the term or affect any notice given to Subtenant or any suit commenced or judgment entered prior to receipt of such moneys.
9.Cumulative Rights and Remedies. All rights and remedies of Sublandlord under this Sublease shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other rights or remedies allowed by law.
10.Indemnity. Subtenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Sublandlord and the managing agent of the Building and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, agents and employees, from and against any and all claims, demands, costs and expenses of every kind and nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, arising from Subtenant’s occupancy of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant’s construction of any leasehold improvements in the Subleased Premises, any breach or default on the part of Subtenant in the performance of any agreement or covenant of Subtenant to be performed or performed by it under this Sublease or pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, or any act or neglect of Subtenant or its agents, officers, employees, guests, servants, invitees or customers in or about the Subleased Premises, except to the extent that such claims, demands, costs and expenses arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord. Sublandlord agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subtenant and its officers, directors, partners, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, costs and expenses of every kind and nature, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses, arising from any breach or default on the part of Sublandlord in the performance of any agreement or covenant of Sublandlord to be performed or performed by it under this Sublease or pursuant to the terms of this Sublease. In case any such proceeding is brought against any of said indemnified parties, the indemnifying party covenants, if requested by an indemnified party, to defend such proceeding at its sole cost and expense by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.
11.Waiver of Subrogation. Anything in this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Sublandlord and Subtenant each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the other and the officers, directors, partners, agents and employees of each of them, and Subtenant hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against Landlord and its agents and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Subleased Premises or the Master Premises, or any improvements thereto, or any personal property of any person therein or in the Building, by reason of fire, the elements or any other cause insured against (or required by the Prime Lease or this Sublease to be insured against) under valid and collectible fire and extended coverage insurance policies, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence, except in any case which would render this waiver void under law.
12.Brokerage Commissions. Each party hereby represents and warrants to the other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with this Sublease, excepting only Larsen Commercial Real Estate Services, Inc. and Transwestern Commercial Services, whose commissions shall be paid by Sublandlord pursuant to the terms of a separate written agreement, and that it knows of no other real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a commission in connection with this Sublease. Each party agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims inconsistent with the foregoing representations and warranties for any brokerage, finder’s or similar fee or commission in connection with this Sublease, if such claims are based on or relate to any act of the indemnifying party which is contrary to the foregoing representations and warranties.
13.Successors and Assigns. This Sublease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Sublandlord and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors of Subtenant and, to the extent any such assignment may be approved, Subtenant’s assigns.
14.Entire Agreement. This Sublease contains all the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements between Sublandlord and Subtenant relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises. No prior agreement or understanding pertaining to the same shall be valid or of any force or effect. The terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease cannot be altered, changed, modified or added to except by a written instrument signed by Sublandlord and Subtenant.
15.Notices. Notices and demands required or permitted to be given by either party to the other with respect hereto or to the Subleased Premises shall be in writing and shall be served either by personal delivery with a receipt requested, by overnight air courier service or by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed as follows:

16.Authority, etc. Each party represents and warrants to the other that this Sublease has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by and on behalf of such party and constitutes its valid, enforceable and binding agreement.
17.Security Deposit.
(a) Concurrently with its execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord One Hundred Twenty-One Thousand Six Hundred Fifty and No/100 Dollars ($121,650.00) as security for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Sublease to be performed by Subtenant. If an Event of Default has occurred (which default shall include, but shall not be limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of rent), Sublandlord may use, apply or retain all or any part of said security deposit for the payment of any rent and any other sum in default, or for the payment of any other amount which Sublandlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant’s default or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss or damage which Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant’s default (which may include making a partial draw upon any Letter of Credit provided by Subtenant pursuant to Section 17(b) hereof). If any portion of said security deposit is so used or applied, Subtenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount, and Subtenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Sublease. Except to the extent required by law, Sublandlord shall not be required to keep said security deposit separate from its general funds, and Subtenant shall not be entitled to interest on any security deposit. If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Sublease to be performed by it, said security deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Subtenant (or, at Sublandlord’s option, to the last assignee of Subtenant’s interest hereunder) within forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the term and Subtenant’s vacation of the Subleased Premises. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit the amount of damages recoverable by Sublandlord or any other remedy to the security deposit.
(b) At Subtenant’s election, the security deposit may take the form either of cash or of an unconditional, irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) from a U.S. banking institution reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, insured by a federal insurance agency (“Issuer”).

23.Consent of Landlord. The obligations of Sublandlord and Subtenant under this Sublease are conditioned and contingent upon Landlord consenting hereto by executing and delivering a separate instrument signifying its consent.

24.Examination. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Subtenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Subleased Premises or in any manner bind Sublandlord, and no lease, sublease or obligation of Sublandlord shall arise until this instrument is signed and delivered by Sublandlord and Subtenant and the consent of Landlord is obtained as described in Section 23 above.
