Subtenant acknowledges that any termination of the Lease may result in a termination of the Sublease. Sublandlord agrees, however, not to hereafter voluntarily enter into any agreement with Landlord to terminate the Lease provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed or interpreted in any 2 manner as prohibiting Sublandlord from exercising any right currently contained in the Lease for the termination of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and provided Subtenant is not in default under this Sublease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Sublandlord agrees not to exercise its right to terminate the Lease, pursuant to Section 43.1 of the Lease, unless Subtenant has exercised its right under Article "18" of this Sublease to terminate this Sublease. In the event of a default under the Lease or any underlying lease of all or any portion of the Subleased Premises which results in the termination of such lease, Subtenant shall, at the option of the lessor under any such lease ("Underlying Lessor"), attorn to and recognize the Underlying Lessor as landlord hereunder and shall, promptly upon the Underlying Lessor's request, execute and deliver all instruments necessary or appropriate to confirm such attornment and recognition. Notwithstanding such attornment and recognition, the Underlying Lessor shall not (a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Sublandlord under this Sublease, (b) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided for in this Sublease, which shall have accrued to the Subtenant against Sublandlord, or (c) be bound by any modification of this Sublease or by any prepayment of more than one month's rent, unless such modification or prepayment shall have been previously approved in writing by the Underlying Lessor.

This Sublease is subject to all of the terms, covenants, agreements, provisions, and conditions of the Lease, and Subtenant or any assignee of Subtenant, as the case may be, will not have the right to a further assignment thereof or sublease or assignment thereunder, or to allow the Subleased Premises to be used by others, without the prior reasonable consent of the Underlying Lessor in each instance, which consent shall be granted or withheld by the Underlying Lessor subject to the provisions and on all the same terms and conditions set forth in the underlying lease. 5. Use. Subtenant's use of the Subleased Premises shall be strictly --- in accordance with the use and all other provisions of the Lease. Subtenant shall make no alterations or changes to the Subleased Premises of any kind or nature without Sublandlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed with respect to nonstructural alterations which will not affect the outside of the Building or adversely affect the Building's structure, electrical, HVAC, plumbing or mechanical systems. It is agreed that it will be reasonable for Sublandlord to withhold its consent to any such alterations if Subtenant has been unable to obtain the Landlord's consent to such alterations. In addition, Sublandlord's consent may be conditioned upon all of the same things that Landlord's consent may be conditioned upon pursuant to the provisions of the Lease and upon Subtenant complying with all of the provisions of Article "13" of the Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, wherever Landlord's consent or approval is required, or wherever information, documentation, sums of money, or other items are required to be delivered to Landlord, pursuant to Article "13" of the Lease, Sublandlord's consent and approval, shall also be required and Subtenant shall also be required to make all such deliveries to Sublandlord. Sublandlord hereby consents, in concept, to the installation by Subtenant of an Internet Working Lab provided, however, that Subtenant complies with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease and this Sublease in connection with such installation (including, without limitation, any requirement under the Lease to remove said Internet Working Lab from the Subleased Premises on or about the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease). 3 6.

In addition, any failure by Subtenant to (i) pay Rent when due (and the continuance of such failure for five (5) days following notice from Sublandlord to Subtenant) or, (ii) perform any other obligations required under this Sublease, shall be a default hereunder. Any default by Subtenant shall entitle Sublandlord to exercise any and all of the same rights and remedies against Subtenant as are available to Landlord against Sublandlord as tenant under the Lease, arising out of a default, beyond the expiration of any and all applicable grace, notice and cure periods under the Lease, by the Sublandlord as tenant under the Lease, and any other remedies available at law or in equity under the laws of New York. 7.
