Sublessee is not obligated to pay any Additional Rent by reason of increases in porter-wage, operating expenses or similar escalations. Except as modified by this Sublease, with respect to the Subleased Premises, the Additional Rent for Taxes shall be calculated in accordance with tile terms of the Prime Lease; and,

(ii) Additional Rent for electricity at the rate of $2,50 per rentable square foot of the Subleased Premises per annum ($17,985 per annum), payable in equal monthly installments of $1,498.75 (the “Electric Inclusion Amount”), which the parties have agreed is the reasonable value to Sublessee, as of the date of tins Sublease, for normal electric service to be provided to the Subleased Premises for lighting, light office equipment and the usual small business machines during Business Hours on Business Days (as defined in the Prime Lease). The Electric Inclusion Amount shall he paid in addition to the Fixed Rent and shall be paid ot the same time and in the same manner as Fixed Rent. Except as specifically set forth herein, there shall he no separate charge to Sublessee for such electric energy by way of measuring the use of electricity on any meter or otherwise.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Sublease, the Electric Inclusion Amount shall remain at the amount set forth above in this subparagraph for the first 365 days following the Commencement Date.

The Electric Inclusion Amount shall be subject to the following:

(A) If the cost to provide electric energy to the Subleased Premises (the “Electric Cost”) is increased or decreased after the date of this Sublease,

then the Electric Inclusion Amount shall be increased or decreased by an amount equal to the product of (i) the then-existing Electric Inclusion Amount and (n) the percentage increase or decrease in such Electric Cost. Any increase or decrease shall be effective as of the date of such increase or decrease and shall be made retroactively if necessary. Upon the request of either party, Sublessor and Sublessee shall execute a supplementary agreement confirming the increase or decrease. Any adjustment shall be effective even if such supplementary agreement is not executed and delivered. In no event shall the provisions of this subsection A operate to reduce the Electric Inclusion Amount below the amount set forth above; and

(B) The Electric Inclusion Amount is based upon Sublessor’s assumption that Sublessee’s initial electrical installation will only require electrical service in an amount equal to or less than the amount permitted under Section 39 of the Prime Lease and that Sublessee will use electrical energy only during Business Hours on Business Days. Accordingly, (i) if Sublessee’s initial electrical installation exceeds such criteria,. or (ii) if from time to time Sublessee makes material use of electricity during hours other than Business Hours on Business Days, or (ii) if from time to time Sublessee adds or changes any machinery, appliances or equipment which materially increases the aggregate electrical load in the Subleased Premises (if such increase is permissible under the terms of the Prime Lease) and, as the result of any of the events set forth in subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) above, Sublessor reasonably believes that the Electric Cost is greater than $2.50 per rentable square foot of the Subleased Premises per annum, then the Electric Inclusion Amount shall from time to time be equitably adjusted to reflect the resulting increase in such use. Sublessor shall furnish a statement of Sublessor’s determination as to the amount of the adjustment, and the same shall become binding upon the parties unless, within thirty (30) days, Sublessee notifies Sublessor that it disputes the amount of such adjustment, in which event the parties shall in good faith make reasonable attempts to come to agreement, and, if Sublessor and Sublessee cannot agree thereon, the amount of such adjustment shall be determined, based on standard practices, by an independent electrical consultant selected by Sublessor. Sublessee shall permit such consultant to have access to the Subleased Premises and Sublessee’s electrical facilities for the foregoing purpose at all reasonable times. The fee of such consultant shall be paid by Sublessee unless such consultant finds that Sublessee’s use does not justify an increase in the Electric Inclusion Amount, in which case the fee shall be paid by Sublessor. When the amount of such adjustment is so determined, Sublessor and Sublessee shall execute a supplementary agreement to reflect such adjustment, which shall be effective from the date of the increase of such usage as determined by such electrical consultant and be made retroactively if necessary. Any adjustment shall be effective even if such supplementary agreement is not executed and delivered. Pending the determination of the adjustment, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the amount of such adjustment as specified in Sublessor’s statement Thereafter if it is determined that Sublessee bas overpaid, Sublessee shall receive a credit against the Electric Inclusion Amount in the amount of the overpayment, said credit to be applied against the next accruing installment(s) of the Electric Inclusion Amount In order to facilitate Sublessor’s determination of whether Sublessee is making material use of electricity during hours other than business hours on business days, Sublessor shall have the right, at any time during the term of this Sublease, to install a meter or other monitoring device to track the use of electricity by Sublessee.

(b) Unless otherwise provided in this Sublease, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the Additional Rent at the time and in the manner Sublessor is required to pay the same to Landlord, as set forth in the Prime Lease. Except as expressly provided herein, all other additional rent, charges, fees or other amounts payable under this Sublease or the Prime Lease by Sublessee shall be payable within fifteen (15) days of written demand therefor.

(c) The initial demand for Additional Rent payable pursuant to this Section 4 aud any subsequent demand for increases in Additional Rent shall be accompanied by copies of any invoices, bills, demands, statements or other documentation evidencing such Additional Rent which Sublessor shall have received from Landlord in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any failure by Sublessor to make a demand under the provisions of this Sublease, shall not in any way be a waiver, or cause Sublessor to forfeit or surrender its rights to collect, any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent that may have become due pursuant to the terms of this Sublease.

(d) Sublessor shall credit Sublessee, its proportionate share of any refunds received by Sublessor from Landlord under the Prime Lease on account of any overpayment of Additional Rent, other than the Electric Inclusion Amount, for which Sublessee bas paid Sublessor under this Sublease; provided, however, that Sublessor shall be entitled to deduct from the aggregate of the amount of such refund Sublessee’s proportionate share of any and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, consultants fees and disbursements, incurred by Sublessor in connection with the obtaining of any such refunds. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, as Additional Rent, within ten (l0) days after demand therefor, Sublessee’s proportionate share of any amounts (plus interest, if any) due Landlord under the Prime Lease on account of any underpayment of Additional Rent payable under this Sublease, including, without limitation, Additional Rent payable hereunder On account of Taxes due under Article 38 of the Prime Lease.

(e) All amounts payable by Sublessee to Sublessor pursuant to this Sublease, including, without limitation, Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, shall be deemed to be and shall constitute rent for all purposes hereunder and, in the event of any non-payment thereof, Sublessor shall have all of the rights and remedies provided herein, at law or in equity for nonpayment of rent TIle obligation of Sublessee to pay all amounts to Sublessor hereunder shall survive the Expiration Date or the earlier termination of this Sublease.
