Alterations. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 9 of the Master Lease, any alteration, which requires Master Lessor's approval pursuant to the Master Lease, shall not be commenced by Sublessee unless and until such consent is obtained. At the time Sublessor and Master Lessor consent to any alteration, additions or improvements, Sublessor and Master Lessor shall inform Sublessee in writing whether Sublessee is responsible for the removal of such alterations and improvements at the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Sublease, provided that Sublessee, in its request for consent to the alteration, addition, or improvement, has expressly requested that Sublessor and Master Lessor specify the nature and extent of any such removal obligation. If such notification is not made, Sublessee shall have no responsibility to remove any such alteration or improvement at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. Any alteration made by Sublessee shall become a part of the Sublease Premises, and at Sublessor's election (and to the extent required, the consent of the Master Lessor), shall be surrendered to Sublessor at the end of the Sublease term. Any alteration made by Sublessee shall, at Sublessor's election become Sublessor's property throughout the Sublease term except for any specialized improvements installed by Sublessee (which improvements shall be part of Sublessee's Equipment and Alterations, as defined in Exhibit B-2), which improvements shall remain the property of Sublessee and which improvements shall be . removed by Sublessee at the expiration or earlier termination hereof. In the event Sublessor is (or becomes) obligated under the Master Lease to remove any of Sublessee's alterations, Sublessee shall be obligated to remove same at Sublessee's sole cost and expense and to restore the Sublease Premises to its condition prior to the alteration but only to the extent required by Sublessor or Master Lessor in their written consent to any such alteration. In the event that Sublessee removes any items it is permitted to remove under Exhibit B-2, Sublessee, subject to the provisions of the second sentence of this section 8, at its sole cost and expense, shall restore the Sublease Premises to its condition prior to alteration. 9. Repairs. Pursuant to the Master Lease, Master Lessor is responsible to repair and maintain the roof (structural portions only), exterior walls and other structural portions of the Building and the Common Areas. As to such matters, Sublessor's sole obligation to Sublessee shall be to request performance of such obligations by Master Lessor. In the event Master Lessor breaches its obligations, Sublessor will assign to Sublessee its right to enforce such obligation and shall otherwise cooperate with Sublessee in connection therewith, provided, however, Sublessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for enforcement thereof without reimbursement from Sublessor. Sublessee, not Master Lessor, shall be responsible for the repair of the roof and structural portions of the Building to the extent the need for maintenance or repair is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessee, in which case Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the cost of (including reasonable overhead expense of Sublessor) the maintenance and repairs caused by Sublessee (except (i) to the extent the damage is covered by any insurance maintained by Master Lessor or Sublessor, or, (ii) if Master Lessor fails to maintain the insurance required to be maintained by Master Lessor pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease, to the extent the damage would have been covered by insurance, if Master Lessor 6 had maintained the required insurance). There shall be no abatement of Base Rent and no liability of Master Lessor or Sublessor by reason of any injury to or interference with Sublessee's business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to the fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein, provided that Sublessor shall request Master Lessor to use reasonable efforts to minimize the interruption of Sublessee's use and occupancy of the Sublease Premises in connection with its performance of the repairs and maintenance (although nothing contained herein shall be deemed to obligate Master Lessor to pay any overtime costs in order to minimize such interference, or otherwise to perform the repairs or maintenance during hours other than normal business hours). As to all matters that neither Master Lessor nor Sublessee is required to maintain or repair under the Master Lease or this Sublease, as the case may be, Sublessor shall be responsible therefore, and shall promptly and regularly maintain and repair the Sublease Premises. Notwithstanding anything to foregoing, any damage caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessee, shall promptly be repaired by Sublessee, at Sublessee's own cost and expense, and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Master Lessor and Sublessor. 10. Insurance. a. Sublessee shall maintain commercial general liability insurance coverage as required by section 12. l(a) of the Master Lease (but prorated based upon the Sublease Premises to the Premises under the Master Lease) which has been incorporated into this Sublease by reference. Each policy of insurance, which Sublessee is required to maintain pursuant to this Lease, shall name both Sublessor and Master Lessor (as well as Master Lessor's general partners and Managing Agent) as additional insureds (including cross-liability endorsements). Sublessee's insurance coverage shall be primary and non-contributory as respects any insurance maintained by Sublessor and/or Master Lessor. Sublessee shall deliver evidence of the coverage required hereunder (i) thirty (30) days prior to occupancy and (ii) within ten (10) days of the renewal date for each policy of insurance required hereunder. b. Pursuant to the terms of the Master Lease as provided in Section 12. l(b) thereof, Master Lessor is obligated to maintain certain insurance coverage with respect to certain perils. Sublessor's sole obligation to Sublessee with respect to Master Lessor's obligations pursuant to said Section 12.1(b) shall be to request performance of such obligations by Master Lessor. In the event Master Lessor breaches its obligations, Sublessor will assign to Sublessee its right to enforce such obligation and shall otherwise cooperate with Sublessee in connection therewith, provided, however, Sublessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for enforcement thereof without reimbursement from Sublessor. In the event Sublessor cannot assign such rights, Sublessor shall diligently enforce its rights as Tenant under the Master Lease. 11. Damage or Destruction. a. Master Lessor Has Obligation to Restore. If the Sublease Premises are damaged or destroyed, Master Lessor has the obligation pursuant to Article 15 of the Master Lease to repair the Sublease Premises unless Master Lessor has the right to terminate. If Master Lessor fails to perform its obligations pursuant to Article 15 of the Master Lease, Sublessor's sole obligation to Sublessee shall be to request performance of such obligations by Master Lessor. In 7 the event Master Lessor breaches its obligations, Sublessor will assign to Sublessee its right to enforce such obligation, provided, however, Sublessee, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for enforcement thereof without reimbursement from Sublessor. In the event Sublessor cannot assign its rights, Sublessor shall diligently enforce its rights under the Master Lease. b. Termination of Master Lease. If the Master Lease terminates pursuant to Article 15 of the Master Lease, this Sublease shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Master Lease. c. Sublessee Notice; Right to Terminate. Within twenty (20) days following written request from Sublessor, Sublessee shall give notice to Sublessor in writing whether Sublessee agrees to continue this Sublease in effect if Master Lessor reasonably determines that the repair of the Sublease Premises or the Building cannot be completed within three hundred sixty five (365) days after the casualty. If Sublessee does not so agree to continue this Sublease in effect then this Sublease shall terminate. If Sublessee agrees to continue this Sublease in effect as aforesaid, then Sublessor shall have no right to exercise its right (if any) to terminate the Master Lease or this Sublease. If (i) Master Lessor reasonably determines that the repair of the Sublease Premises or the Building cannot be completed within three hundred sixty five (365) days after the casualty, (ii) neither Master Lessor nor Sublessor have elected to terminate the Master Lease, and (iii) Sublessee agrees to continue this Sublease in effect notwithstanding the time to reconstruct, then this Sublease shall continue in effect, and Sublessee shall fulfill all of the obligations of Sublessor pursuant to the provisions of Article 15 of the Master Lease, as it pertains to the Sublease Premises. d. Limited Obligation to Repair. Master Lessor's obligation, should Master Lessor elect or be obligated to repair or rebuild, shall be limited to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease. Master Lessor shall have no obligation to replace or restore the Sublessee Equipment and Alterations (as described in Exhibit B-2) or any other alterations installed by Sublessor or Sublessee, unless specifically required by the Master Lease. e. Abatement of Rent. Rent under this Sublease shall abate to the same extent as the Rent owing by Sublessor under the Master Lease abates during any casualty repair period. f. Damage Near End of Term. In addition to the rights to terminate specified in subsection 11. c of this Sublease, either Sublessor or Sublessee shall have the right to cancel and terminate this Sublease as of the date of the occurrence of destruction or damage if the Sublease Premises or the Building is substantially destroyed or damaged (i.e., there is damage or destruction which Sublessor reasonably determines would require more than sixty (60) days to repair) and made untenantable during the last twelve (12) months of the term of the Master Lease. Sublessor or Sublessee, as applicable, shall give written notice of its election to terminate this Sublease under this subsection f. within thirty (30) days after Master Lessor or Sublessor determines that the damage or destruction would require more than sixty (60) days to repair. If either Master Lessor or Sublessor elects to terminate the Master Lease pursuant to Article 15 of 8 the Master Lease, this Sublease shall terminate concurrently with the termination of the Master Lease. If neither Master Lessor nor Sublessor terminates the Master Lease and if neither Sublessor nor Sublessee elects to terminate this Sublease, the repair of the damage shall be governed by Article 15 of the Master Lease. g. Insurance Proceeds. If this Sublease is terminated, Master Lessor and Sublessor may each keep all their respective insurance proceeds resulting from the damage except for those proceeds, if any, which specifically insured Sublessee's personal property and trade fixtures which Sublessee has a right or obligation to remove upon the expiration of the Sublease term. Sublessor shall be entitled to receive from Sublessee the proceeds of insurance carried by Sublessee with respect to Sublessee Improvements or other alterations installed in the Sublease Premises by Sublessor or at Sublessor's expense. To the extent that Sublessee has paid for any alterations regardless of whether the alterations may become the property of Sublessor upon termination of this Sublease, Sublessee shall receive any portion of the insurance proceeds payable with respect to the then unamortized cost (based on a 2 year life of the alteration on a straight line amortization schedule) for the applicable alterations, reduced by the amounts necessary to pay off any equipment lease or other lien against the applicable alteration, and the balance of the proceeds, if any, will be payable to Sublessor. With respect to those Alterations, which Sublessee is obligated to remove at the end of the Sublease term which are the property of Sublessee, all proceeds of any insurance, carried by Sublessor or Sublessee shall be paid to Sublessee. h. Uninsured Casualty. If the Master Lease terminates pursuant to the provisions of Article 15 of the Master Lease, this Sublease shall terminate. 12. Eminent Domain. If all or any part of the Sublease Premises is taken for public or quasi-public use by a governmental authority under the power of eminent domain or is conveyed to a governmental authority in lieu of such taking, and if the taking or conveyance causes the remaining part of the Sublease Premises to be untenantable and inadequate for use by Sublessee for the purpose for which they were leased, then Sublessee, at its option and by giving notice within fifteen (15) days after the taking, may terminate this Sublease as of the date Sublessee is required to surrender possession of the Sublease Premises. If a part of the Sublease Premises is taken or conveyed but the remaining part is tenantable and adequate for Sublessee's use in Sublessee's reasonable determination, then this Sublease shall be terminated as to the part taken or conveyed as of the date Sublessee surrenders possession. All compensation awarded for the taking or conveyance shall be the property of Master Lessor and Sublessor, as their interests may appear, and Sublessee hereby assigns to Sublessor all its right, title and interest in and to the award, unless the governmental authority makes only one (1) award, and the award contains compensation for the value of moving expenses, Sublessee's personal property, trade fixtures and alterations (including the Sublessee Improvements), Sublessee's Equipment and Alterations, in which case, subject to the rights of any mortgagee or beneficiary of a deed of trust holding a lien on the Property and to Master Lessor's rights under the Master Lease, Sublessee shall be entitled to the compensation paid for Sublessee's moving expenses, trade fixtures, personal property, Sublessee's Equipment and Alterations, and the portion of the award attributable to the then unamortized cost of alterations and improvements constructed at Sublessee's expense (which are 9 to be amortized on a straight line basis over the initial term of this Sublease). Sublessee shall have the right, however, to recover from the governmental authority, but not from Sublessor or Master Lessor, except as provided in the preceding sentence, such compensation as may be awarded to Sublessee on account of the interruption of Sublessee's business, moving and relocation expenses and removal of Sublessee's trade fixtures and personal property. 13. Assignment and Subletting. Notwithstanding any provision of this Sublease to the contrary, if Sublessor consents to a sublet, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor on a monthly basis as additional Rent, on the date Base Rent is due, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the rent payable to Sublessee ("Subrent") under the sublease exceeds the rent due for the applicable portion of the Sublease Premises after deducting from the Subrent (A) the actual out-of pocket costs incurred by Sublessee for brokerage commissions and tenant concessions (which concessions are not reflected in the reduced Subrent) and (B) the costs of any additional improvements constructed by Sublessee in connection with the sublease (amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the sublease). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee may assign this Sublease or sublet any portion of the Sublease Premises without Sublessor's or Master Lessor's consent to any of the following (i) any corporation which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Sublessee; (ii) any corporation resulting from the merger or consolidation of Sublessee; and (iii) any person or entity which acquires all of the assets of Sublessee as a going concern of the business that is being conducted on the Sublease Premises (collectively, "Sublessee Affiliate"), provided that such assignee assumes in full the obligations of Sublessee under the Sublease. Any right of Sublessor or Master Lessor to terminate the Sublease or the Master Lease in response to a requested assignment or subletting shall not apply to an assignment of the Sublease or a subletting of the Sublease Premises to a Sublessee Affiliate. Sublessee shall have the same assignment and sublease rights and limitations as provided in section 13.1 of the Master Lease. 14. Access to Premises. Master Lessor shall have the same right of access to the Sublease Premises as Sublessor which right of access is described in Section 14 of the Master Lease. 15. Surrender at End of Term.

Sublessee shall remove from the Sublease Premises all of Sublessee's personal property and trade fixtures, Sublessee's Equipment and Alterations, and any alterations and improvements Sublessee is required to remove pursuant to Sublessor's or Master Lessor's written consent to such alterations and improvements, and shall repair all damage caused by the removal. Except to the extent caused by Sublessor's or Master Lessor's or their agents', employees' or invitees', negligence or willful misconduct, Sublessee shall indemnify Sublessor against all loss or liability resulting from delay by Sublessee in so surrendering the Sublease Premises, including without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant, losses to Sublessor due to lost opportunities to lease to a succeeding tenant, and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Sublessee shall have no 10 obligation to remove any fixtures, alterations, or personal property placed or installed in the Sublease Premises prior to the Commencement Date hereof. 16. Sublessor Indemnity re: Hazardous Materials. a. Sublessor will provide to Sublessee copies of the documents referred to in section 17.4 of the Master Lease. b.

To the extent such indemnification may apply to the benefit of Sublessee, Sublessor agrees to cooperate with Sublessee to enforce such indemnity obligation against Master Lessor; provided, however, Sublessee shall pay any and all costs incurred by Sublessor or Sublessee in connection with the enforcement thereof for the benefit of Sublessee. 17. Signs. Master Lessor shall have the same approval rights with respect to signs as Sublessor; Sublessor shall use its best efforts to obtain Master Lessor's approval of signage rights reasonably satisfactory to Sublessee, so long as such rights do not unreasonably interfere with the rights of Sublessor under the Master Lease. 18. Holding Over. This Sublease shall terminate without further notice at the expiration of the Sublease term. Any holding over by Sublessee after expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease without the consent of Sublessor shall be construed to be a tenancy at sufferance. Base Rent for the Sublease Premises during any tenancy at sufferance, or if Sublessor shall have consented to Sublessee's holding over, shall be at a rate equal to 150% of the Base Rent for the last month of the term, and shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions herein specified insofar as applicable. 19. Brokers. Sublessor and Sublessee each warrants and represents for the benefit of the other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Sublease, and that it knows of no real estate broker or agent who is or might be entitled to a real estate brokerage commission or finder's fee in connection with this Sublease. 11 Sublessor and Sublessee warrant and represent that they have dealt with no real estate broker in connection with this Sublease. a. Broker Disclaimer. Sublessor and Sublessee agree and accept that, except as otherwise expressly stated herein, no broker or agent has made or conducted any investigation, determination, warranty or representation with respect to any of the following: (a) the legality of the present or any possible future use of the Sublease Premises under any federal, state or local law; (b) the physical condition or square footage of the Sublease Premises; (c) the terms of the Master Lease or any other relevant legal document or agreement; or (d) the presence or location of any hazardous materials on or about the property in which the Sublease Premises are located (including, but not limited to, asbestos, PCB's, other toxic, hazardous or contaminated substances, and underground storage tanks). b. Acknowledgement: The parties acknowledge that they are not relying on information from any real estate licensee relating to the field of toxic materials, hazardous waste, underground tanks, and asbestos contamination, location of the property within or outside a specific flood zone or special studies seismic area, nor the property's compliance with the guidelines as set forth in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regarding the determination of the condition of the subject Premises, but rather from their own independently initiated investigations. 20. Notices. All notices or demands of any kind required to be given by Sublessor or Sublessee hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed delivered forty-eight (48) hours after depositing the notice or demand in the United States Mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid, addressed to the Sublessor or Sublessee respectively at the addresses set forth after their signatures at the end of this Sublease. Either party may change its address by written notice to the other party in accordance with this Section 20. All Base Rent shall be paid by Sublessee to Sublessor at the same address. 21. Condition To Effectiveness of This Sublease. This sublease is contingent upon Sublessor obtaining the written consent of the Master Lessor to this Sublease within 15 days of the date hereof. Sublessor and Sublessee acknowledge and agree that in granting such consent, notwithstanding any other provisions contained in or implied in this Sublease, Master Lessor shall not be deemed or construed (a) to have released Sublessor from any responsibility for the full and timely performance of all obligations of Sublessor as Tenant under the Master Lease as it pertains to the Sublease Premises, nor (b) to have authorized Sublessor to act on Master Lessor's behalf in exercising or waiving any rights, remedies or privileges of Master Lessor as Landlord under the Master Lease as it pertains to the Sublease Premises, nor (c) to have assumed; incurred or undertaken any obligations or liabilities running directly to Sublessee with respect to the Sublease Premises, it being the explicit intention and understanding of the parties that notwithstanding the incorporation by reference of the Master Lease into this Sublease (except as specifically excluded by section 2 above, and as otherwise specifically excluded in this Sublease), Master Lessor and Sublessor shall look solely to one another for the performance of their respective obligations with respect to the Sublease Premises as Landlord and Tenant under the Master Lease, and that Sublessor and Sublessee shall look solely to one another for the 12 performance of their respective obligations with respect to the Sublease Premises under this Sublease. Nothing in this Section 21 is intended, however, to preclude Sublessee from enforcing, by direct action against Master Lessor, any rights of Sublessor under the Master Lease to the extent such rights are expressly assigned by Sublessor to Sublessee pursuant to this Sublease. 22. Authority. Each person executing this Sublease on behalf of a party hereto represents and warrants that he or she is authorized and empowered to do so and to thereby bind the party on whose behalf he or she is signing. 23. Attorneys' Fees. In the event either party shall bring any action or proceeding for damages or for an alleged breach of any provision of this Sublease to recover rents, or to enforce, protect or establish any right or remedy hereunder, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs as part of such action or proceeding.
