The portion of the Premises that are not being sublet to Sublessee shall be hereinafter referred to as the Sublessor Premises”.

 

NOW, THEREFORE Sublessor and Sublessee, in consideration of the agreements herein set forth below, hereby covenant and agree as follows:

 

1.           (a)          Sublessor hereby subleases the Sublease Premises to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby subleases the Sublease Premises from Sublessor on the terms and conditions herein set forth. Sublessee shall not permit more than the lesser of (i) five (5) people, (ii) 500 square feet of usable floor space of the Sublease Premises or (iii) the maximum number of people permitted pursuant to applicable laws, regulations or ordinances or the Lease, to occupy the Sublease Premises at any one time.

Sublessee and its employees and invitees shall have the right to walk through those portions of the Sublessor Premises depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto (the Common Hallways”) to access the Sublease Premises. In connection with Sublessee’s use of the Common Hallways as provided herein, Sublessee shall not interfere with or disrupt Sublessor’s use and occupancy of the Sublessor Premises. Sublessee will have access to and use of meeting rooms and all common areas as required.

 

2.           (a)           This Sublease shall commence on March 1, 2016 (the Commencement Date”) and shall expire on July 31, 2017 (or at such earlier date as this Sublease or the Lease is terminated or expires pursuant to its terms or pursuant to law) (the Term”), provided, however, the Term shall continue thereafter on a month-to-month basis, unless sooner terminated pursuant to any of the terms of this Sublease, the Lease or pursuant to, Sublessor and Sublessee shall each have the right to terminate this Sublease by giving to the other party thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of termination, If either party exercises its termination right, the monthly rent payable hereunder shall be apportioned as of the termination date. In such event, Sublessee shall remain liable for the payment of any outstanding monthly rent up to and

 

   

 

  

including the effective date of such termination, and Sublessor shall remain liable for the refund of any prepaid monthly rent for the period following the effective date of such termination.

 

(b)          On or before the Commencement Date and on or before the first (1st) day of each month thereafter during the Term, Sublessee shall pay directly to Sublessor, without off-set or abatement of any kind, the amount of One Thousand Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1,200.00). The monthly rent payable under this Sublease for any fractional month at the beginning of the Term and/or at the end of the Term shall be prorated based on 1/365 of the monthly rental for each day of the partial month this Sublease is in effect. No additional rent shall be due and payable under this Sublease, except that Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor, upon demand, any costs charged by Landlord for additional services and provided by Landlord under the Lease, such as over-time heating, ventilating and air conditioning.

 

3.           This Sublease is expressly subject and subordinate to the Lease. The Lease is hereby incorporated by reference as if specifically set forth herein, except as otherwise provided and except that the term Landlord as used in the Lease shall mean Sublessor and the term Tenant”“ as used in the Lease shall mean Sublessee.” All the terms and conditions of the Lease shall be applicable to this Sublease with the same force and effect as if Sublessor is the Landlord under the Lease and Sublessee is the Tenant under the Lease. All acts to be done by Sublessor, as tenant under the Lease, and all obligations of Sublessor, as tenant under the Lease, shall be done or performed by Sublessee as they relate to the Sublease Premises except as otherwise provided by this Sublease, and Sublessee’s obligations shall run both to Sublessor as Sublessor may reasonably determine to be appropriate or to be required by the respective interests of Sublessor. In the case of any breach of this Sublease by Sublessee, Sublessor shall have all of the rights against Sublessee as would be available to Landlord against the Tenant under the Lease. The following provisions of the Lease are hereby deleted for purposes of incorporation of the Lease into this Sublease:

 

(a)          Section 2.4 of the Lease; Sublessee shall have no right to elect to lease any storage space in the Building.

 

(b)          Section 6 of the Lease; Sublessee shall have no right to elect to extend the Term of the Lease.

(e)          Section 7 of the Second Amendment.

 

4.           For the avoidance of doubt, Sublessee is not obligated to pay the fixed monthly rent amounts set forth in the Lease and the provisions in the Lease relating to the amount of the fixed monthly rent payable thereunder are not incorporated into this Sublease, it being agreed that Sublessee shall pay fixed monthly rent pursuant to this Sublease in accordance with Paragraph 3 hereof.

 

5.           Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that Sublessee shall only be entitled to such services and such performance as Landlord is obligated to render pursuant to the Lease and Sublessor shall have no liability to Sublessee for Landlord’s failure to perform any such obligations or other matters, unless Sublessor has otherwise agreed in writing to provide Sublessee with such services. Accordingly, Sublessor shall have no obligation to perform any work or services in or to the Sublease Premises or to perform any other obligation which is the obligation of the Landlord under the Lease (including, without limitation, the

furnishing of heat, air conditioning, water, cleaning, electricity, repairs and sewage disposal), but, subject to the terms of this Sublease, Sublessee shall be entitled to have the benefit of all work and services to be provided or rendered by Landlord in or to the Sublease Premises. Sublessee agrees that it shall be the responsibility of Landlord to provide any such work and services and not that of Sublessor.

7.           Sublessee shall maintain the insurance required by Tenant under the Lease as to the Sublease Premises, except that, in addition to the parties required under the Lease, Sublessor shall be named as additional insured on such policies. Prior to the Commencement Date, Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor certificates of the insurance required to be maintained by Sublessee hereunder. Each party hereto has hereby remised, released, and discharged and does remise, release, and discharge the other party hereto and any officer, agent, employee, or representative of such party of and from any liability whatsoever hereafter arising from loss, damage, or injury for which insurance is carried (or required to be carried by the Lease or this Sublease) by the party at the time of such loss, damage or injury to the extent of any recovery by the injured party under such insurance.

 

8.           Sublessee agrees, insofar as it applies to the Sublease Premises during the Term of this Sublease and the obligations taken on by Sublessee hereunder, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Landlord and Sublessor to the same extent that Sublessor has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord under the Lease.

 

9.           Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that it has received and reviewed a copy of the Lease. In all provisions of the Lease (under the terms thereof and without regard to modifications thereof for purposes of incorporation into this Sublease) requiring the approval or consent of Landlord, Sublessee shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of Sublessor.

 

10.         Sublessor agrees to perform the obligations of “Tenant” under the Lease to the extent that failure to do so would materially interfere with Sublessee’s use and occupancy of the Sublease Premises; provided, however, Sublessor is not obligated to perform those obligations of Tenant which Sublessee is obligated to perform pursuant to the terms of this Sublease.

 

11.         Except as set forth in Section 2(b) hereof, Sublessee may make no changes, alterations, additions, improvements or decorations in, to or about the Sublease Premises without Sublessor’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Sublessor’s sole discretion.

 

12.         Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that Sublessor and its partners, members, directors, officers, employees and shareholders shall have no personal liability under this Sublease. Sublessee and any person or entity claiming by, through or under Sublessee shall look only to Sublessor’s estate and

property in the Lease for the satisfaction of any claims or damages, and no other property or assets of Sublessor or any of its partners, members, directors, officers, employees or shareholders shall be subject to lien, levy, execution or other enforcement action or procedure.
