3. Minimum Rent. Sublessee covenants and agrees to pay to Sublessor, during the Renewed Sublease Term, a fixed minimum rent (the Minimum Rent) as follows:
Period | Monthly Minimum Rent | ||
3/1/04-2/28/05 | $ | 10,026.81 | |
3/1/05-2/29/06 | $ | 11,796.25 |
Minimum Rent is calculated upon an annual charge equal to (i) $11.75 per rentable square foot of the Sublease Premises plus $1.00 per rentable square foot of the Sublease Premises for electricity, as set forth in Section 4(b) hereof; for the period from March 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005, and (ii) $14.00 per rentable square foot of the Sublease Premises plus $1.00 per rentable square foot of the Sublease Premises for electricity, as set forth in Section 4(b) hereof; for the period from March 1, 2005 to February 28, 2006 (as the aforementioned periods may be delayed or extended in accordance with Section 17 hereof). Minimum Rent shall be payable in advance, on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Renewed Sublease Term, without notice, setoff or deduction other than as expressly set forth herein, at the Sublessors address, as set forth herein, or at such other place or to such other person as Sublessor may from time to time designate in writing to Sublessee. With respect to any partial month at the beginning or end of the Renewed Sublease Term, the Minimum Rent due under this Sublease shall be pro-rated accordingly.
4. Additional Rent. Sublessee covenants and agrees to pay to Sublessor, during the Renewed Sublease Term, the following amounts as Additional Rent:
(a) Operating Costs and Taxes. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as Additional Rent, Sublessees Share of Operating Costs. As used in this Sublease, Sublessees Share of Operating Costs shall be calculated by dividing the rentable square footage of the Sublease Premises by the rentable square footage of the Original Sublease Premises. According to the foregoing formula, Sublessees Share of Operating Costs equals seventeen and six tenths percent (17.6%). In the event Computervision determines under the provisions of the Original Sublease that Sublessor will be required to make estimated payments of Additional Rent under Article 5 of the Original Sublease with respect to Operating Costs, Sublessee shall pay to
Sublessor, as Additional Rent, on or before the first day of each month following such determination by Computervision 1/12th of Sublessees Share of Operating Costs reasonably estimated by Computervision to be due by Sublessor with respect to Operating Costs during such year, subject to periodic adjustment by Computervision in accordance with the terms of the Original Sublease (the Estimated Operating Cost Payments). At the request of Sublessee, Sublessor shall provide to Sublessee (i) Computervisions determination of such estimate under the Original Sublease, and (ii) proof of payment of such estimate by Sublessor to Computervision. If, at the end of any year during the Renewed Sublease Term, the Estimated Operating Cost Payments collected by Sublessor during such year exceed the amount otherwise due from Sublessee under this Section 4, Sublessor shall reimburse Sublessee for the excess in accordance with the reimbursement procedures set forth in Section 5(d) of the Original Sublease with respect to Computervisions reimbursement of Sublessor, and if the Estimated Operating Expense Payments collected are less than the amount otherwise due from Sublessee under this Section 4, Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor in accordance with the reimbursement procedures set forth in Section 5(d) of the Original Sublease with respect to Sublessors reimbursement of Computervision. Operating Costs shall be defined according to Section 5(b) of the Original Sublease.
(b) Electricity. An amount equal to $1.00 per rentable square foot per annum has been included in the Minimum Rent to reimburse the Sublessor for the costs incurred in providing electricity to the Sublease Premises. In the event Sublessor incurs any additional costs in connection with providing electricity to the Sublease Premises (in connection with any billings to Sublessor by Computervision in accordance with paragraph 3 of Exhibit D to the Original Sublease, but specifically excluding any costs associated with any separately metered portions of the Main Premises or Original Sublease Premises not occupied or used by Sublessee, including but not limited to Sublessors data center and network operating center on the ground floor of the Main Premises), Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor promptly upon request a portion of such additional costs (the Additional Electricity Payments), where such portion is calculated by dividing the rentable square footage of the Sublease Premises by the rentable square footage of the Original Sublease Premises (i.e. 17.6%). Sublessor reserves the right to install a separate electricity meter for the Sublease Premises (which right derives solely from Computervisions rights under Exhibit D to the Original Sublease), and to the extent the Sublease Premises are or become separately metered (i) Sublessee shall pay for its actual electricity usage separately, (ii) the Minimum Rent shall be reduced by $1.00 per rentable square foot per annum and (iii) Sublessee shall not be required to make Additional Electricity Payments.

6. Quiet Enjoyment. Sublessor, with respect to the Renewed Sublease Term, covenants and agrees with Sublessee, that upon Sublessee paying the rent and performing the covenants of this Sublease, Sublessee shall peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Sublease Premises and all rights granted to Sublessee in this Sublease throughout the Renewed Sublease Term without hindrance or molestation by anyone claiming by or through Sublessor.
Sublessor hereby warrants and represents that, except as set forth in Exhibit B, the Original Sublease has not been amended or modified in any material way. Sublessor further warrants and represents to Sublessee that the Original Sublease is in full force and effect without default on the part of Sublessor (as Subtenant named thereunder) or, to the best of Sublessors knowledge, Computervision. Sublessor further agrees that it will not amend the Original Sublease in any manner that will materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of Sublessee under this Sublease without in each instance notifying Sublessee in advance of such amendment and obtaining Sublessees prior written consent to such amendment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Sublessor agrees to perform all of its obligations as Subtenant under the Original Sublease, except to the extent that same have been assumed by Sublessee under this Sublease. Sublessor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sublessee from and against all claims, demands, damages, expenses (including reasonable legal expenses) and liabilities resulting from Sublessors breach, violation or nonperformance of any of its obligations under the Original Sublease or the Main Lease (as incorporated into the Original Sublease).

To the extent Sublessor controls signage in, on or around the Main Premises, Sublessor agrees to list Sublessee on any sign in, on or around the Main Premises that displays the names of other tenants and/or occupants of the Main Premises. To the extent Computervision controls signage within the Main Premises (as is the case at the time of the execution of this Sublease), Sublessor agrees to use reasonably diligent efforts (at no cost to Sublessor) to induce Computervision to list Sublessee on any sign in, on or around the Main Premises that displays the names of other tenants and/or occupants of the Main Premises.

Section 5 hereof; or (ii) otherwise makes an unauthorized withdrawal of any portion of the Security Deposit from the Security Deposit Account, Sublessee shall be permitted to offset the amount of such withdrawal against payments of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent next due to Sublessor hereunder.
