ARTICLE 8. APPLICATION OF OTHER PROVISIONS OF MASTER LEASE. ----------------------------------------------- 8.1 Incorporation of Master Lease Provisions. All applicable terms and ---------------------------------------- conditions of the Master Lease are incorporated into and made a part of this Sublease as if Sublessor were the "Landlord" thereunder (except that for purposes of the insurance to be provided and indemnities given by Sublessee, both Landlord and Sublessor shall be included); Sublessee, the "Tenant" thereunder; the Premises, the "Premises" thereunder; and this Sublease, the "Lease" thereunder, except for those Excluded Provisions as described in attached Exhibit B. --------- 8.2 Sublessor's Efforts. In connection with the incorporation of the ------------------- Master Lease, the term "Landlord" shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Sublease, to mean "Sublessor shall use its best efforts, without, however, incurring any liabilities or expenses not otherwise provided for in the Master Lease or this Sublease, to ensure that Landlord" whenever such a modification is required so that an incorporated provision reflects the agreement of the parties hereto as expressed in this Article 8. Sublessor covenants not to allow or permit the early termination of the Master Lease without Sublessee's prior written consent, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. 8.3 Sublessor's Obligations to Tenants. Sublessee assumes and agrees to ---------------------------------- perform the Sublessor's obligations under the Master Lease to the extent incorporated herein during the Term and to the extent such obligations are applicable to the Premises, except that the obligation to pay rent to Landlord under the Master Lease shall be considered performed by Sublessee to the extent and in the amount rent is paid to Sublessor in accordance with Article 5 of this Sublease. Sublessee shall not commit or suffer any act or omission that will violate any of the provisions of the Master Lease. Sublessor shall exercise due diligence in attempting to cause Landlord to perform its obligations under the Master Lease for the benefit of Sublessee. Except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein, if the Master Lease terminates, this Sublease shall terminate and the parties shall be relieved of any further liability or obligation under this Sublease, provided, however, that if the Master Lease terminates as a result of a default or breach by Sublessor or Sublessee under this Sublease and/or the Master Lease, then the defaulting party shall be liable to the non-defaulting party for the damage suffered as a result of such termination, except that Sublessor shall be permitted to agree with Landlord to terminate the Master Lease without liability to Sublessee provided Landlord is prepared to enter into a direct lease with Sublessee on the same economic terms as contained in this Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Master Lease gives Sublessor any right to terminate the Master Lease in the event of the partial or total damage, destruction, or condemnation of the Premises or the Building or project of which the Premises are a part or otherwise, Sublessor shall exercise such right only after first obtaining written approval from, and consulting with, Sublessee. 8.4 Landlord's Default. If Landlord shall default in any of its ------------------ obligations to Sublessor with respect to the Premises, Sublessee shall be entitled to participate with Sublessor in the enforcement of Sublessor's rights against Landlord, but Sublessor shall have no obligation to bring any action or proceeding or to take any steps to enforce Sublessor's rights against Landlord. If, after written request from Sublessee, Sublessor shall fail or refuse to take appropriate action for the enforcement of Sublessor's rights against Landlord with respect to the Premises within a reasonable period of time considering the nature of Landlord's default, Sublessee shall have the right to take such action in its own name, and for that purpose and only to such extent, all of the rights of Sublessor under the Master Lease hereby are conferred upon and assigned to Sublessee and Sublessee hereby is subrogated to such rights to the extent that the same shall apply to the Premises. If any such action against Landlord in Sublessee's name shall be barred by reason of lack of privity, non-assignability or otherwise, Sublessee may take such action in Sublessor's name and provided Sublessee has obtained the prior written consent of Sublessor which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The failure of Landlord to make such repairs, comply with such obligations or provide any such services and/or utilities shall not result in any claim or right of action of Sublessee against Sublessor or entitle Sublessee to withhold or otherwise reduce any rent or other payments to be made to Sublessor pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, unless (i) Sublessor is in default under the Master Lease or this Sublease, or (ii) Sublessor is permitted to withhold or reduce rent under the Master Lease. -9- 8.5 Conflict. If there is any conflict between the terms and provisions -------- of this Sublease and the terms and provisions of the Master Lease, the terms and provisions of this Sublease shall control if the terms and provisions of this Sublease are more restrictive than the terms and provisions of the Master Lease and such interpretation does not cause a default under the Master Lease, otherwise the terms and provisions of the Master Lease shall control. ARTICLE 9. BROKER. ------ 9.1 Sublessor is obligated to pay a brokerage fee pursuant to separate agreement to CB Richard Ellis and the Gibson Company (each a "Broker"). Except as provided by the foregoing, each party warrants and represents to the other that such party dealt with no other broker in connection with this sublease transaction and, to that party's knowledge, no other broker is entitled to a commission in connection herewith.

If the Landlord does not give its consent or approval (as the case may be) to such act, Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that Sublessor may arbitrarily and unreasonably -10- withhold, condition or delay its consent to such act. If Landlord gives its consent or approval (as the case may be) to such act, Sublessor shall (except as otherwise specifically set out in this Sublease to the contrary) also consent or approve such act. ARTICLE 13. CONSENT AND NONDISTURBANCE BY LANDLORD. -------------------------------------- 13.1 This Sublease shall be of no force or effect unless Sublessor receives a written consent to this Sublease, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor and Sublessee in all respects, from the Landlord within thirty (30) days after execution hereof by both Sublessor and Sublessee. In connection therewith, Sublessee shall, (a) upon the request of Sublessor, promptly furnish to Sublessor all information pertaining to the Sublessee reasonably requested by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease, and (b) reasonably cooperate with Sublessor in its efforts to obtain written consent to this Sublease from Landlord. 13.2 Sublessor shall incur no liability in the event the consent of the Master Lessor cannot be obtained. 13.3 In the event that Master Lessor does give such consent then: 13.3.1 Such consent shall not release Sublessor of its obligations or alter the primary liability of Sublessor to pay the Rent and perform and comply with all of the obligations of Sublessor to be performed under the Master Lease. 13.3.2 The acceptance of Rent by Master Lessor from Sublessee or anyone else liable under the Master Lease shall not be deemed a waiver by Master Lessor of any provisions of the Master Lease. 13.3.3 The consent to this Sublease shall not constitute consent to any subsequent subletting or assignment. 13.3.4 Master Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the Master Lease or this Sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Sublessor or anyone else liable under the Master Lease and without obtaining their consent and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability. A month-to-month tenancy of less than 50% of the subleased space shall not be considered to be a sublease by Sublessee. 13.4 Upon the request of Sublessee, which may be exercised in its sole discretion, and as a condition to the effectiveness of this Sublease for Sublessee's benefit, Landlord -11- shall deliver to Sublessee a nondisturbance agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Sublessee) under which Landlord agrees not to disturb Sublessee's tenancy so long as Sublessee is not in default under this Sublease notwithstanding that Sublessor may be in default under the Master Lease.

Sublessee also agrees that this Sublease shall be subject and subordinate to the Master Lease as the same may hereafter be amended or modified; provided, however, that no such amendment or modification shall either increase the obligations of Sublessee hereunder or adversely affect Sublessee's rights, powers or privileges hereunder.
