NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and benefits set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

a.The "Subleased Premises" means such portions of the Leased Premises being particularly identified on Schedule B, which the parties agree, for the purposes of this Sublease and any square footage calculations pursuant hereto, is approximately 42,244 square feet of office (21,068 square feet on the third floor and 21,176 square feet on the seventh floor) and approximately 9.4312% of common space (building rentable area is 447,91?square feet).

b.Any term not defined but capitalized herein shall have the meanings ascribed to it in the Prime Lease.

a.Sublessor hereby grants to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby accepts from Sublessor, subject to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of the Prime Lease and of this Sublease, a sublease to the Subleased Premises, together with all the rights and privileges appurtenant thereto, in its present "AS IS", "WHERE IS" condition and for the term of this Sublease.

3.Use and Lawful Occupancy. The Subleased Premises shall be used only for Sublessee's office and

for no other purpose, but subject in all events to the terms of the Prime Lease and applicable zoning laws. Sublessee shall be solely responsible for and comply with all laws relating to the use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises.

a.Subject to Section 4(b), the "Term" of this Sublease shall commence on the Effective Date and end on August 30, 2015.

b.This Sublease shall terminate on the first to occur of the following: (i) one ( l) calendar day before the expiration of the term of the Prime Lease; (ii) the date upon which the Prime Lease is terminated as a result of any provisions of the Prime Lease; and (iii) the date upon which Sublessee's right to occupancy of the Subleased Premises is terminated pursuant to this Sublease or as provided by law.

a.Rent. Sublessee covenants and agrees to pay to Sublessor, on a monthly basis, an amount equal to sixty three thousand three hundred sixty-six and no cents ($63,366.00) per month including any applicable sales taxes ("Base Rent") commencing as of the Effective Date.

In addition to Base Rent, Sublessee covenants and agrees to pay to Sublessor, on a monthly basis, 66.7235%ofthe Common Area Operating Expenses allocated by Landlord to Sublessor (42,244 subleased square feet of the total 63,312 square feet ofrented space). As used herein, Base Rent together with Sublessee's percentage of the Common Area Operating Expenses, collectively, "Rent").

c.Holdover. If Sublessee fails to surrender the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then it will be conclusively presumed that the value to Sublessee of remaining in possession, and the loss that will be suffered by Sublessor as a result thereof, far exceed the Rent and additional rent that would have been payable had the Term continued during such holdover period. Therefore, if Sublessee (or anyone claiming through Sublessee) does not immediately surrender the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then the rent payable by Sublessee shall be increased to two (2) times then-applicable base rent for the Subleased Premises as set forth in the Prime Lease. Such rent shall be computed by Sublessor and paid by Sublessee on a monthly basis and shall be payable on the first day of such holdover period and the first day of each calendar month thereafter during such holdover period until the Subleased Premises have been vacated. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, Sublessor's acceptance of such rent shall not in any manner adversely affect Sublessor's other rights and remedies, including Sublessor's right to evict Sublessee and to recover all damages. Any such holdover shall be deemed to be a tenancy at sufferance and not a tenancy at will or tenancy from month to month. In no event shall any holdover be deemed a permitted extension or renewal of the Term, and nothing contained herein shall be construed to constitute Sublessor's consent to any holdover or to give Sublessee any right with respect thereto.

e.Time of Payment. All money required to be paid by Sublessee under this Sublease (other than pursuant to Section 6) shall be paid on or before the first ( Ist day of each calendar month during the term of this Sublease and shall be paid to Sublessor without notice or demand and in lawful money of the United States, without abatement, deduction or setoff at the offices of Sublessor set forth in Section 14 or such other place as Sublessor may specify. Delays in such payment beyond the fifth (5 ^th₎ calendar day of month will result in the amounts due accruing interest each month at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate in the Prime Lease.

6.Additional Services. Sublessee acknowledges that it shall have access to and the use of the kitchen of Sublessor.
