Monthly Base Rent shall be paid for each calendar month occurring during the Sublease Term in advance five (5) days prior to the first day of the calendar month to which such Monthly Base Rent is attributable. Subtenant shall pay Monthly Base Rent for the first month of the Sublease Term upon closing of the ESA.

The cost of all utilities, including, without limitation, electricity consumed by Subtenant in the Subleased Premises will be paid, at Sublandlord’s discretion, either: (a) by separate metered use, if Sublandlord elects to implement such meters; or (b) by Proportionate Share of the utilities cost.

iv.

vi.

Taxes, if any, imposed upon or attributable to Subtenant’s personal property located in or about the Subleased Premises or any leasehold improvements installed in the Subleased Premises.

vii.

Any and all Use and Occupancy Taxes applicable to Subtenant.

If any portion of the Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum payable to Sublandlord hereunder shall be past due and unpaid for more than ten (10) days, it shall thereafter bear interest at a rate equal to three percent (3%) per annum greater than the prevailing prime rate of interest as published in The Wall Street Journal (Eastern Edition) from time to time (“Default Rate”), as the same may change from time to time, from the due date until the date of payment thereof by Subtenant, provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed or implemented in such a manner as to allow Sublandlord to charge or receive interest in excess of the maximum legal rate then allowed by law.

For the purposes of this Sublease, “Subtenant’s Proportionate Share” shall be, a percentage equal to the number of agreed upon rentable square feet in Section 2 divided by 14,968 square feet and multiplied by one-hundred (100). The Subtenant’s Proportionate Share shall be confirmed in writing by Sublandlord and Subtenant within thirty (30) days after the Sublease Commencement Date.

Permitted Use

Subtenant may use the Subleased Premises only for general office purposes and for no other purpose, without the prior written consent of the Primary Sublandlord and Sublandlord (whose consents shall be granted, withheld or conditioned in their sole and absolute discretion), and only to the extent permitted by all laws governing or affecting the use of the Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall not use or permit any use of the Subleased Premises which creates any safety or environmental hazard, or which would: (i) be dangerous to the Subleased Premises, the Building or other subtenants or tenants, or (ii) be reasonably disturbing to other subtenants or tenants of the Building, or (iii) cause any increase in the premium cost for any insurance which Sublandlord may then have in effect with respect to the Building generally.

The parties hereto agree that each of its policies of prop erty insurance shall include a waiver of subrogation to effectuate the provisions of this provision. In the event of Casualty Damage not covered by this Section 6, the Sublease will be governed by Section 20 of the Primary Sublease.

Intentionally Omitted.

Assignment And Subletting

Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or otherwise sublet all or any part of the Subleased Premises or transfer Subtenant’s interest in this Sublease without the prior written consents of Sublandlord and Primary Sublandlord, whose consents shall be granted, withheld or conditioned in their sole and absolute discretion. Any assignment or sublet must additionally comply with the requirements of Section 23 of the Primary Sublease.

page 5 of 23

The following actions shall constitute an assignment or sublease contemplated by Section 8(a) of this section (each, a “Transfer”): (i) any assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of this Sublease; (ii) any sublease, concessions, license or occupancy agreement with respect to all or any portion of the Subleased Premises; (iii) if Subtenant or any of its successors or assigns is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership, any sale, pledge or other transfer of all or a majority of the capital stock, membership interests or partnership interests, as applicable, of Subtenant or any such successor or assign (unless such stock is publicly traded on a recognized security exchange or over the counter market), any merger, consolidation or reorganization of or into Subtenant or any such successor or assign, and any sale of all or substantially al l of the assets of Subtenant or such successor or assign.

Any attempt by Subtenant to assign, sublet or transfer its rights in the Subleased Premises without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Primary Sublandlord shall be void, and at Sublandlord’s option, shall constitute a default by Subtenant entitling Sublandlord to exercise all rights and remedies permitted hereunder without need for any notice and cure period. No permitted assignment, transfer, encumbrance or subletting shall relieve Subtenant from Subtenant’s obligations and agreements hereunder and Subtenant shall continue to be liable as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety to the same extent as though no assignment, transfer, encumbrance or subletting had been made.

Notwithstanding any assignment of this Sublease or any sublet of all or a portion of the Subleased Premises by the Subtenant, the Subtenant and any guarantor of Subtenant’s obligations shall remain liable for all obligations under this Sublease.

If, for any Transfer, the monthly base rent and additional rent to be paid by the transferee under such Transfer exceeds the Monthly Base Rent payable to the Sublandlord hereunder, then the amount of such excess (“Sublease Profit”) shall be paid by the Subtenant to the Sublandlord and Primary Sublandlord, as they shall so determine, within ten (10) business days following receipt thereof by Subtenant, as and when collected. In addition, if the Subtenant receives from any transferee, either directly or indirectly, any consideration other than base rent or additional rent for such Transfer, whether in the form of cash, goods, services or otherwise, the Subtenant shall forthwith pay to the Sublandlord and Primary Sublandlord, as they shall so determine, an amount equivalent to such consideration.
