10.     Sublandlord’s Obligations; Quiet Enjoyment.

(a)     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Sublease to the contrary, Sublandlord shall have no responsibility to Subtenant for, and shall not be required to provide, any of the services or make any of the repairs or restorations which Overlandlord has agreed to make or provide, or cause to be made or provided, under the Overlease and Subtenant shall rely upon, and look solely to, Overlandlord for the provision of such services and the performance of such repairs and restorations. Sublandlord shall, promptly upon Subtenant's request and, make demands of and send notice to Overlandlord and otherwise cooperate with Subtenant (including, without limitation, the execution of appropriate documents) in order to exercise and/or enforce, as the case may be, the rights, obligations, covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in the Sublease and to obtain redress for any breach on the part of the Overlandlord thereunder. Sublandlord shall use its best efforts to assist Subtenant in obtaining all services, repairs, alterations, replacements, access, appurtenances, and deliveries and enforcing other rights to which Subtenant or Sublandlord, as tenant, is entitled under the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall not make any claim against Sublandlord for any damage which may result from, nor shall Subtenant’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s obligation to pay all Rent when due, be impaired by reason of, (a) the failure of Overlandlord to keep, observe or perform any of its obligations under the Overlease, or (b) the acts or omissions of Overlandlord or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees or licensees.

(b)     Sublandlord covenants that, subject to (i) the Overlease and Overlandlord’s performance thereunder, and (ii) all matters to which the Overlease may be subject from time to time, Subtenant, on paying the all amounts due hereunder (including, without limitation, the Rent) and performing all its other obligations under this Sublease, shall and may quietly have, hold and enjoy the Subleased Premises for the term aforesaid in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c)     Sublandlord covenants and agrees that Sublandlord shall not, without Subtenant’s prior written consent, do or suffer or permit anything to be done or suffered, including, without limitation, entering into any amendment of the Overlease which would cause the Overlease to be canceled or terminated, forfeited or which would decrease Subtenant’s rights or increase Subtenant’s obligations or liabilities under this Sublease or the Overlease or cause Subtenant to become liable to Overlandlord for any damages, claims or penalties. Sublandlord shall not do or permit to be done anything which would constitute a violation or breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Lease or which would cause the Overlease to be terminated or forfeited by virtue of any right termination or forfeiture reserved or vested in Overlandlord. Sublandlord further covenants and agrees that it will not agree to a voluntary termination of the Overlease unless, in connection therewith, the Overlandlord accepts this Sublease as a direct lease between Overlandlord and Subtenant. If Sublandlord shall default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Sublease, Subtenant, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may remedy such default for the account and at the expense of Sublandlord without notice, in case of emergency, and in all other cases if the default continues after ten (10) days from the date of giving by Subtenant to Sublandlord of written notice of intention to do so, unless Sublandlord shall have commenced to remedy such default and shall thereafter diligently cannot prosecute such remedy to completion.

(d)     Sublandlord hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Subtenant from and against any and all liabilities, damages, costs and expenses of every kind, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by Subtenant in connection with or arising out of (i) any misrepresentation by Sublandlord herein, or (ii) any breach by Sublandlord of its obligations under this Sublease or the Lease.

12.     Covenants with respect to the Overlease.

In the event that Subtenant shall be in default of any term, provision, covenant, stipulation, condition, obligation or agreement of, or shall fail to honor any obligation under, this Sublease, Sublandlord, on giving the notice required by the Overlease (as modified pursuant to Section 16 hereof) and subject to the right, if any, of Subtenant to cure any such default within any applicable grace period provided in the Overlease (as modified pursuant to Section 16 hereof), shall have available to it all of the remedies available to Overlandlord under the Overlease in the event of a like default or failure on the part of Sublandlord, as tenant thereunder.

Sublandlord reserves the right to transfer and assign its interest in and to this Sublease to any entity or person who shall succeed to and assume in writing Sublandlord’s interest in and to the Overlease.

18.     End of Term; Holding Over.

(a)     Subtenant acknowledges that possession of the Subleased Premises must be surrendered to Sublandlord on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Sublease, in the same condition as set forth in Section 6 hereof, subject to normal wear and tear. Subtenant agrees to indemnify Sublandlord against and hold Sublandlord harmless from, any and all liabilities, losses, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other charges) which are paid, suffered or incurred by Sublandlord as a result of the failure of, or the delay by, Subtenant in so surrendering the Subleased Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by Overlandlord or any succeeding tenant founded on such failure or delay, unless such failure or delay in surrendering the Subleased Premises was caused by Sublandlord.

(b)     In addition to all other rights and remedies Sublandlord has under this Sublease, at law or in equity, if Subtenant shall fail to surrender vacant possession of the Subleased Premises on or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Sublease in accordance with the provisions hereof, (i) Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord (a) for each month or partial month during which Subtenant holds over in the Subleased Premises after the expiration (or after the earlier termination for any cause) of the term of this Sublease, a sum equal to 100% of all rents, damages, costs, expenses or other sums of any kind Sublandlord is obligated to pay to Overlandlord or other party as a result of such holdover (such sums to be paid as and when due and payable by Sublandlord) and (ii) Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord for any and all reasonable and actual loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including, without limitation, losses caused by Sublandlord's inability to occupy the Subleased Premises following termination, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and disbursements) incurred by Sublandlord arising from or by reason of Subtenant's failure to surrender vacant possession of the Subleased Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

19.     Destruction, Fire and other Casualty.

If the whole or any part of the Subleased Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty and the Overlease is not terminated on account thereof by Overlandlord then this Sublease shall remain in full force and effect and Subtenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder shall abate only proportionate to the extent that the Rent for the Subleased Premises shall abate under the terms of the Overlease.

20.     Notices.

Any notice, request or demand (each, a “Notice”) permitted or required to be given by the terms and provisions of this Sublease, or by any law or governmental regulation, shall be in writing. All Notices shall be sent by (i) hand delivery, (ii) reputable overnight delivery service (prepaid by sender), with acknowledgment receipt returned, (iii) legible fax with receipt of transmission, or (iv) registered or certified mail, return receipt requested (postage-prepaid):

(a)     if to Sublandlord, to the following address: Greatbatch Ltd. 10000 Wehrle Drive, Clarence, NY 14031, Attn: General Counsel.

(b)     if to Subtenant, to the following address: 5830 Granite Parkway, 11^th Floor, Plano, Texas 75024, Attn: General Counsel.

Either party hereto may designate a different address or facsimile number for Notices to such party by serving notice of such change in accordance with this Section 20. All notices may be given by counsel for the parties with the same force and effect as if given by the parties. Notices shall be deemed delivered when received (or, if receipt is refused, when refused).

21.     Sublease Conditional Upon Overlandlord’s Consent.

Sublandlord and Subtenant each acknowledge and agree that this Sublease is subject to the unconditional consent of Overlandlord, as required by Article 11 of the Overlease. Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall request Overlandlord’s consent hereto in accordance with the terms of the Overlease. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Sublease to the contrary, Sublandlord shall not be obligated to perform any acts, expend any sums or bring any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, in order to obtain such consent. If Overlandlord does not consent to this Sublease within thirty (30) days after the date hereof, then either party may elect to cancel this Sublease by giving notice to the other party after the expiration of said thirty (30) day period, but prior to the giving of said consent by Overlandlord to this Sublease. If this Sublease is cancelled by either party, and this Sublease shall be of no further force and effect.

22.     No Waiver.

No act or thing done by Sublandlord or Sublandlord’s agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Subleased Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing signed by Sublandlord. The failure of either party to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Sublease shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation of the provisions of this Sublease, from having all of the force and effect of an original violation of the provisions of this Sublease. The receipt by Sublandlord of Rent or any other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Sublease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No provision of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been waived by either party, unless such waiver be in writing signed by such party. No payment by Subtenant or receipt by Sublandlord of a lesser amount than the monthly Rent or other payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent or other payment, or as Sublandlord may elect to apply same, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent or other payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Sublandlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Sublandlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or other payment or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Sublease.

23.     Miscellaneous.

(a)     The provisions of this Sublease shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.

(b)     This Sublease may not be modified, amended, extended, renewed, terminated or otherwise modified except by a written instrument signed by both of the parties hereto.

(c)     It is acknowledged and agreed that all understandings and agreements heretofore had between the parties hereto are merged in this Sublease, which alone fully and completely expresses their agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Sublease has been executed and delivered after full investigation by each of the parties hereto, and neither party hereto has relied upon any statement, representation or warranty which is not specifically set forth in this Sublease. This Sublease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Sublease to be drafted.

(d)     TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE with respect to ALL TIME LIMITS SET FORTH HEREIN.

(e)     The terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Sublease shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

(f)     Each of Sublandlord and Subtenant represents to the other that it has full power and authority to enter into this Sublease and to perform its obligations hereunder and the persons executing this Sublease on its behalf are duly authorized to do so.

(g)     The failure of Sublandlord or Subtenant to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions or conditions of this Sublease, or to exercise any election or option contained herein, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment, for the future or in any other instance, of such covenant, agreement, term, provision, condition, election or option but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been made, unless expressed in writing and duly executed by the waiving party.

(h)     The parties hereto waive any right to trial by jury in any summary proceeding that may be instituted hereafter by Sublandlord against Subtenant in respect of the Subleased Premises, or in any action that may be brought to recover any Rent or any other sum due under this Sublease or damages under this Sublease.

(i)     This Sublease may be executed in two or more counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(j)     This Sublease does not constitute an offer to sublease the Subleased Premises to Subtenant and Subtenant shall have no rights with respect the subleasing of the Subleased Premises unless and until Sublandlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to be bound hereby by executing and unconditionally delivering to Subtenant an original counterpart hereof.
