	 	6.
	 
	Use. 
 

  
 Sub-Sublessee shall use and occupy the Sublet Premises exclusively for the use set forth in the Sublease and for no other purpose. Sub-Sublessee agrees that it will not use the Sublet Premises for any use proscribed in the Sublease
or in the Overlease (to the extent incorporated in the Sublease). 
  

	 	7.
	 
	Subordination to and Incorporation of Terms of the Sublease. 
 

  
 (a)    This Sub-Sublease is in all respects subject and subordinate to all of the terms, provisions, covenants, stipulations, conditions and agreements
of the Sublease and the Overlease as applicable to the Sublease, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Sub-Sublease, all of the terms, provisions, covenants, stipulations, conditions, rights, obligations, remedies and agreements of the
Sublease are incorporated in this Sub-Sublease by reference and made a part hereof as if herein set forth at length, and shall, as between Sub-Sublessor and Sub-Sublessee as if they were the Sublandlord and Subtenant, respectively, under the
Sublease, as if the Word “Sublease” were “Sub-Sublease”), constitute the terms of this Sub-Sublease, except for the Witnesseth clauses, the Commencement Date, Expiration Date and Broker and obligation to pay “Fixed
Rent” under the Sublease, as well as such other terms of the Sublease as do not relate to the Sublet Premises or are inapplicable, inconsistent with, or specifically modified by, the terms of this Sub-Sublease. In furtherance of the foregoing,
Sub-Sublessee shall not take or fail to take any action or do or permit to be done anything which (i) is or may be prohibited to Sub-Sublessor, as Subtenant under the Sublease, or (ii) would violate or constitute a default under any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of the Sublease or Overlease. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required, but Sub-Sublessee shall execute promptly any certificate confirming such
subordination that Sub-Sublessor may reasonably request. Specifically as to Paragraph 8 of the Sublease, Sub-Sublessee shall be required to list the Sub-Sublessor, Sublandlord and Landlord as an “additional insured” on all policies and/or
coverage to be carried at any time during the Term in accordance with the Sub-Sublease (other than with respect to Sub-Sublessee’s personal property). On or before the Commencement Date of the Sub-Sublease, the Sub-Sublessee shall deliver a
certificate of insurance as required by Paragraph 8 of the Sublease (as incorporated into this Sub-Sublease) to Sub-Sublessor, the Sublandlord and Landlord. 
  
 (b)    (i)    In the event that the Sublease is cancelled or terminated, Sub-Sublessee shall, at the option of Sublandlord, attorn to and recognize Sublandlord,
as Sub-Sublessor hereunder, and shall, promptly upon Sublandlord’s request, execute and deliver all reasonable instruments necessary or appropriate to confirm such attornment and recognition. Sub-Sublessee hereby waives all rights under any
present or future law to elect, by reason of the
 

 
 4 








 
termination of the Sublease, to terminate this Sub-Sublease or surrender possession of the Sublet Premises. 
  
 (ii)    In the event of termination, re-entry or dispossess of Sub-Sublessor, by Sublandlord under the Sublease, Sublandlord may, at its option, take
over all of the right, title and interest of Sub-Sublessor, under this Sub-Sublease, and Sub-Sublessee shall, at Sublandlord’s option, attorn to Sublandlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of this Sub-Sublease, except that Sublandlord
shall not (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Sub-Sublessor under this Sub-Sublease, (ii) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided in this Sub-Sublease, which therefore accrued to Sub-Sublessee against Sub-Sublessor, (iii) be
bound by any previous modification of this Sub-Sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one month’s rent plus security unless previously approved by Sublandlord, (iv) be bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction
of the Sublet Premises or any portion thereof demised by this Sub-Sublease and (v) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to or on behalf of Sub-Sublessee, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under this
Sub-Sublease to be performed after the date of such termination, re-entry or dispossession by Sublandlord under the Sublease and which Sublandlord is required to perform thereunder with respect to the Sublet Premises at Sublandlord’s expense.

  
 (c)    Sub-Sublessor covenants and agrees (i) to perform and to observe all of the terms,
covenants, conditions and agreements required to be observed or performed by the “Subtenant” under the Sublease (other than those which are the obligations of Sub-Sublessee to perform under this Sub-Sublease), so as not to cause a default
under the Sublease, (ii) that Sub-Sublessor will not do or cause to be done or suffer or permit any act or thing to be done (excluding a default by Sub-Sublessee hereunder) which would cause the Sublease or the rights of Sub-Sublessor, as
“Subtenant” thereunder, to be cancelled, terminated or forfeited, and (iii) Sub-Sublessor will not modify, amend or exercise any right to terminate the Sublease. 
  

	 	8.
	 
	Sub-Sublessee’s Obligations. 
 

  
 Except as specifically set forth herein to the contrary, all acts to be performed by, and all of the terms, provisions, covenants, stipulations, conditions, obligations and agreements to be observed
by, Sub-Sublessor, as Subtenant under the Sublease, shall, to the extent that the same relate to the Sublet Premises, accrue on or after the Commencement Date, and do not relate solely to obligations of Sub-Sublessor (such as the payment of rentals
under the Sublease, except that Sub-Sublessee shall be liable for the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent as described in this Sub-Sublease), be performed and observed by Sub-Sublessee, and Sub-Sublessee’s obligations in respect thereof
shall run to Sub-Sublessor or Sublandlord, as Sub-Sublessor may determine to be appropriate or as may be required by the respective interests of Sub-Sublessor and Sublandlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sub-Sublessee shall have no obligation to
remove any alterations made by Sub-Sublessor or Landlord.

	Obligations of Sublandlord and Landlord. 
 

  
 (a)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Sub-Sublease to the contrary, Sub-Sublessor shall have no responsibility to Sub-Sublessee for, and shall not be required to
provide, any of the services or make any of the repairs or restorations which Sublandlord has agreed to make or provide, or cause to be made or provided, under the Sublease or which Landlord has agreed to make or provide, or cause to be made or
provided, under the Overlease and Sub-Sublessee shall rely upon, and look solely to, Sublandlord or Landlord for the provision of such services and the performance of such repairs and restorations. Sub-Sublessee shall not make any claim against
Sub-Sublessor for any damage which may result from, nor shall Sub-Sublessee’s obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, Sub-Sublessee’s obligation to pay all Fixed Rent and Additional Rent when due, be impaired by reason of,
(a) the failure of Sublandlord and/or Landlord to keep, observe or perform any of its obligations under Sublease and/or the Overlease, or (b) the acts or omissions of Sublandlord and/or Landlord or any of their agents, contractors, servants,
employees, invitees or licensees, except to the extent of any gross negligence or wilful misconduct. 
  
 (b)    If the Sublandlord and/or Landlord shall default in any of their obligations to Sub-Sublessor with respect to the Sublet Premises, at Sub-Sublessee’s written request, Sub-Sublessor (at
Sub-Sublessee’s sole cost and expense) shall take any and all reasonable actions permitted by the Sublease, at law or in equity, to exercise its rights to enforce Sublandlord’s and/or Landlord’s obligations under the Sublease and
Overlease, and to diligently and with continuity pursue such exercise or enforcement to completion. If Sub-Sublessor does not bring such action or diligently prosecute same, following ten (10) days written notice to Sub-Sublessor, Sub-Sublessee can
bring or prosecute such action at its sole cost and expense and in its own name or in the name of Sub-Sublessor, provided Sub-Sublessee continues to comply with all of the terms and obligations of this Sub-Sublease. 
  

	 	10.
	 
	Covenants with respect to the Sublease. 
 

  
 In the event that Sub-Sublessee shall be in default of any term, provision, covenant, stipulation, condition, obligation or agreement of; or shall fail to honor any obligation under this Sub-Sublease,
Sub-Sublessor, on giving the notice required by the Sublease (as incorporated herein and modified pursuant to Section 19 hereof) and subject to the right, if any, of Sub-Sublessee to cure any such default within any applicable grace period provided
in the Sublease (as incorporated herein and modified pursuant to Section 19 hereof), shall have available to it as against Sub-Sublessee all of the remedies available to Sublandlord under the Sublease in the event of a like default or failure on the
part of Sub-Sublessor, as Subtenant thereunder and such remedies shall be in addition to all other remedies available to Sub-Sublessor at law or in equity; and Sub-Sublessee hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Sub-Sublessor harmless from and
against all liabilities, losses, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other charges but
 

 
 6 








 
expressly excluding consequential damages) which are paid, suffered or incurred by Sub-Sublessor as a result of such default by Sub-Sublessee. 
  

	 	11.
	 
	Brokers. 
 

  
 Each party represents and warrants to each other that it has not dealt with any broker or finder in connection with this Sub-Sublease other than Julien J. Studley and Insignia/ESG, Inc., (the “Brokers”) and the first party does hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against
any and all liabilities, losses, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other charges) arising out of any claim, demand or proceeding for a real estate brokerage
commission, finder’s fee or other compensation made by any person or entity other than the Brokers in connection with this Sub-Sublease claiming to have dealt with the first party. Sub-Sublessor shall pay any commission due the Brokers in
accordance with a separate agreement. 
  

	 	12.
	 
	Indemnification of Sub-Sublessor. 
 

  
 Sub-Sublessee agrees to indemnify Sub-Sublessor against, defend and hold Sub-Sublessor 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 Sub-Sublessor as a result of (a) any personal injuries or property damage occurring in, on or about the Sublet Premises during the Term,
(b) any work or thing done, or any condition created, by Sub-Sublessee in, on or about the Sublet Premises or the Building during the Term, or (c) any act or omission of Sub-Sublessee or Sub-Sublessee’s agents, contractors, servants, employees,
invitees or licensees during the Term. 
  

	 	13.
	 
	Termination of the Overlease. 
 

  
 If the term of the Sublease is terminated prior to the Expiration Date, then, subject to Section 5(b) hereof, this Sublease shall immediately terminate and, unless such termination is due to
Sub-Sublessor’s default of its obligations hereunder, then Sub-Sublessor shall not be liable to Sub-Sublessee by reason thereof. 
  

	 	14.
	 
	Approvals or Consents. 
 

  
 In all provisions of the Sublease requiring the approval or consent of Sublandlord and of the Overlease requiring the approval or consent of the Landlord, Sub-Sublessee shall be required to obtain the express written
approval or consent of Sub-Sublessor, which consent shall be subject to the approval or consent of Sublandlord and Landlord, pursuant to the Sublease and Overlease, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the consent or
approval of Sublandlord and Landlord is received. Sub-Sublessor hereby agrees to promptly furnish to Sublandlord copies of such request for consent or approval received from Sub-Sublessee and to cooperate with Sub-Sublessee (at Sub-Sublessee’s
sole cost and expense) to
 

 
 7 








 
obtain such consent or approval from Sublandlord and Landlord provided that Sub-Sublessor shall have no obligation to incur any costs in connection therewith. If Sublandlord or Landlord shall
refuse to give its consent or approval to any request made by Sub-Sublessee then Sub-Sublessor’s refusal to give its consent or approval to such request shall be deemed to be reasonable. 
  

	 	15.
	 
	Time Limits. 
 

  
 The parties agree that unless otherwise expressly modified herein, the time limits set forth in the Sublease (as incorporated herein) for the giving of notices, making demands, payment of any sum, the performance of any act,
condition or covenant, or the exercise of any right, remedy or option, are modified for the purpose of this Sub-Sublease by shortening or lengthening the same in each instance by three (3) days so that notices may be given, demands made, any act,
condition or covenant performed and any right or remedy hereunder exercised, by Sub-Sublessor or Sub-Sublessee, as the case may be, within the time limits relating thereto contained in the Sublease. Sub-Sublessor and Sub-Sublessee shall, promptly
after receipt thereof, furnish to each other a copy of each notice, demand or other communication received from Sublandlord or Landlord with respect to the Sublet Premises. 
  

	 	16.
	 
	Assignment and Subletting. 
 

  
 (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Sublease, Sub-Sublessee, for itself, its successors and assigns, expressly covenants that it shall not
assign (whether by operation of law or otherwise), pledge or otherwise encumber this Sub-Sublease, or sublet all or any portion of the Sublet Premises, without obtaining, in each instance, the prior written consent of Sublandlord (as and to the
extent required under the Sublease), the prior written consent of Landlord (as and to the extent required under the Overlease) and the prior written consent of Sub-Sublessor which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Sub-Sublessor
reserves the right to, upon prior notice to Sub-Sublessee, transfer and assign its interest in and to this Sublease to any entity or person who shall succeed to Sub-Sublessor’s interest in and to the Sublease, but only as may be permitted under
the Sublease. 
  
 (b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Sub-Sublessee may, without Sub-Sublessor’s consent but following ten (10) days prior written notice to Sub-Sublessor, have the same rights as Sub-Sublessor under Paragraph 10 of the Sublease (as incorporated herein) to assign and/or sublet this
Sub-Sublease provided Sub-Sublessee complies with the requirements set forth in Paragraph 10 of the Sublease (as incorporated herein) and obtains, at its sole cost and expense, the necessary consents of the Sublandlord and/or Landlord as necessary
to such assignment or subletting. 
  
 (c)    Sub-Sublessee specifically confirms the acceptance
of the requirements of Paragraph 9 of the Sublease (as incorporated herein) as to any further sublease, assignment or
 

 
 8

subject to normal wear and tear, damage by insured fire or other insured casualty. Sub-Sublessee agrees to indemnify Sub-Sublessor against, defend and hold Sub-Sublessor 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 Sub-Sublessor as a result of the failure of, or the delay by, Sub-Sublessee in so surrendering the
Sublet Premises, including, without limitation, any claims made by Sublandlord and Landlord or any succeeding tenant founded on such failure or delay. In addition to the indemnification obligations of Sub-Sublessee set forth herein, if Sub-Sublessee

 If the whole or any part of the Building and/or the Sublet Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or taken by condemnation and the Sublease is not terminated
on account thereof by Sublandlord, then this Sub-Sublease shall remain in full force and effect and Sub-Sublessee’s obligation to pay Fixed Rent and Additional Rent hereunder shall abate, if any, in the same percentage as Sub-Sublessor’s
obligation to pay Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for the Sublet Premises shall abate under the terms of the Sublease. 
  

	 	19.
	 
	Notices. 
 

  
 Any notice, request or demand (“Notices”) permitted or required to be given by the terms and provisions of this Sub-Sublease, or by any law or governmental regulation, either by Sub-Sublessor or Sub-Sublessee, shall be in

	 	20.
	 
	Sublease Conditional Upon Certain Consents. 
 

  
 Sub-Sublessor and Sub-Sublessee each acknowledge and agree that this Sub-Sublease is subject to the unconditional consent of Sublandlord and Landlord, as required by the Sublease and Overlease.
Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Sub-Sublease to the contrary, Sub-Sublessor shall not be obligated to perform any acts, expend any sums or bring any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, in order to obtain such consents. In order to induce
Sublandlord and Landlord to consent to this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Sublessor and Sub-Sublessee warrant and represent to Sublandlord and Landlord that no consideration has been exchanged in connection with this Sub-Sublease (other than the obligations of
Sub-Sublessee expressly set forth in this Sub-Sublease). 
  

	 	21.
	 
	Security Deposit. 
 

  
 (a)    On or before the Commencement Date of this Sub-Sublease, Sub-Sublessee shall deposit with Sub-Sublessor the sum of Seventy Nine Thousand Fifty Three and 33/100 ($79,053.33) Dollars (the
“Security Deposit”) as security for the faithful performance and observance by Sub-Sublessee of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Sub-Sublease, including, without limitation, the surrender of possession of the Sublet
Premises to Sub-Sublessor as herein provided. Sub-Sublessor agrees to deposit the Security Deposit in an interest bearing account in a bank located in New York State. To the extent not prohibited by law, Sub-Sublessor shall be entitled to receive
and retain as an administrative expense that portion of the interest received on such account which represents the maximum fee permitted under applicable law, which fee Sub-Sublessor shall have the right to withdraw, at any time and from time to
time, as Sub-Sublessor may determine. The balance of the interest shall be added to and held as part of the Security Deposit subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 21. Sub-Sublessor shall not be required to credit
Sub-Sublessee with any interest for any period during which Sub-Sublessor does not receive interest on the Security Deposit. In the event that Sub-Sublessee defaults beyond any applicable notice and grace period in respect of any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of this Sub-Sublease, including, without limitation, the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, Sub-Sublessor may (but need not) apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit so deposited to
the extent required for the payment of any Fixed Rent and Additional Rent or any other sum as to which Sub-Sublessee is in default beyond any applicable notice and grace period, or for any sum which Sub-Sublessor may expend or may be required to
expend, by reason of Sub-Sublessee’s default beyond any applicable grace period in respect of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Sub-Sublease) including, without limitation any damages or deficiency in the reletting
of the Sublet Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue or accrues before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Sub-Sublessor. If Sub-Sublessor applies or retains any part of the Security Deposit so deposited, Sub-Sublessee,
promptly upon demand, shall deposit with Sub-Sublessor the amount so applied or retained so that Sub-Sublessor shall have the full Security Deposit on hand at all times during the Term. If Sub-Sublessee shall fully and faithfully comply with all of
the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Sub-
 

 
 10 








 
Sublease, the Security Deposit shall be returned to Sub-Sublessee within fifteen (15) days after the Expiration Date and after delivery of the entire possession of the Sublet Premises to
