7.Subtenant's Obligations.Subtenant covenants and agrees that all obligations of Sublandlord under the Master Lease shall
be done or performed by Subtenant with respect to the Sublease Premises, except as otherwise provided by this Sublease, and Subtenant's obligations shall run to Sublandlord and Landlord as Sublandlord
may determine to be appropriate or be required by the respective interests of Sublandlord and Landlord. Subtenant shall name Sublandlord under its insurance policy insuring the Sublease Premises.
Subtenant agrees to indemnify Sublandlord, and hold it harmless, from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred as a
result of the non-performance, non-observance or non-payment of any of Sublandlord's obligations under the Master Lease which, as a result of this Sublease, became
an obligation of Subtenant. If Subtenant makes any payment to Sublandlord pursuant to this indemnity, Subtenant shall be subrogated to the rights of Sublandlord concerning said payment.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, except for any charges incurred by or for Subtenant as provided in this
Sublease, Subtenant shall have no obligation with respect to the payment of Direct Expenses, Other Rent or any other monetary obligation of Sublandlord as Tenant under the Master Lease, and
Sublandlord shall indemnify and hold Subtenant harmless from (a) any and all claims resulting from Sublandlord's failure to pay the Direct Expenses, Other Rent and other monetary obligations of
Tenant under the Master Lease and (b) any other damages incurred by Subtenant as a result thereof, including, without limitation, any increase in Subtenant's rent for the Sublease Premises as a
result of Tenant's default, as provided in Section 14.8 of the Master Lease. Subtenant shall not do, nor permit to be done, any act or thing which is, or with notice or the passage of time
would be, a default under this Sublease or the Master Lease.

8.Default by Subtenant.In the event Subtenant shall be in default of any covenant of, or shall fail to honor any obligation
under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have available to it against Subtenant all of the remedies available (a) to Landlord under the Master Lease in the event of a similar default on the part
of Sublandlord thereunder or (b) at law.

9.Quiet Enjoyment.So long as Subtenant pays all of the Rent due hereunder and performs all of Subtenant's other obligations
hereunder, Sublandlord shall do nothing to affect Subtenant's right to peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Sublease Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, Sublandlord
(a) acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant shall be entitled to receive all services and repairs to be provided by Landlord to Sublandlord under the Master Lease, (b) covenants that it
will pay all fixed rent, additional rent and any other amounts payable by Sublandlord pursuant to the Master Lease to the extent that its failure to do so could adversely affect Subtenant's use or
occupancy of the Sublease Premises, and (c) acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant shall have the right to attempt to obtain non-disturbance and subordination agreements from any
existing or future

lienholders or owners of the fee interest in the Building. Sublandlord covenants that Sublandlord shall, at the request of Subtenant, use reasonable efforts to assist Subtenant in enforcing its
rights under this Sublease, including, without limitation, assisting Subtenant in (i) receiving all services and repairs to be provided by Landlord to Sublandlord under the Master Lease,
(ii) obtaining non-disturbance and subordination agreement from any such lienholders and (iii) causing Landlord to provide Subtenant with its pro rata share of parking rights
as more specifically described in Section 5 above. Upon the occurrence of any condition which results from a default by Landlord under the terms of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall be entitled

terminate under the Master Lease.

respect to the Sublease Premises, to comply with and remedy any default in this Sublease or the Master Lease which is Subtenant's obligation to cure, within the period allowed to Sublandlord under the
Master Lease, even if such time period is shorter than the period otherwise allowed therein due to the fact that notice of default from Sublandlord to Subtenant is given after the corresponding notice
of default from Landlord to Sublandlord. Sublandlord agrees to forward to Subtenant, promptly upon receipt thereof by Sublandlord, a copy of each notice of default received by Sublandlord in its
capacity as Tenant under the Master Lease. Subtenant agrees to forward to Sublandlord, promptly upon receipt thereof, copies of any notices received by Subtenant from Landlord or from any governmental

"as-is" condition (the "Initial Walk-Through Date") existing as of the date of execution of this Sublease and that except as provided herein, Sublandlord is not making any
representation or warranty concerning the condition of the Sublease Premises and that Sublandlord is not obligated to perform any work to prepare the Sublease Premises for Subtenant's occupancy. On
the Initial Walk-Through Date, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall walk-through and inspect the Sublease Premises. Subtenant acknowledges that it is not authorized to make or do
any alterations or improvements in or to the Sublease Premises except as permitted by the provisions of this Sublease and the Master Lease and that it must deliver the Sublease Premises to Sublandlord
on the Sublease Expiration Date in its current condition subject to normal wear and tear. Prior to the Sublease Premise Delivery Date Sublandlord shall, at the sole cost and expense of Sublandlord,
remove all existing furniture, work stations and equipment, with the exception of the existing card key security system. If Sublandlord fails to comply with the foregoing obligations, Subtenant shall
have the option of removing all such furniture, work stations or equipment and thereafter deducting the costs and expenses related thereto from the Base Rent payable to Sublandlord hereunder. On the
Sublease Premises Delivery Date, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall walk-through and inspect the Sublease Premises and shall mutually execute a punch list identifying the variances between

to this Sublease ("Landlord's Consent"). Sublandlord shall solicit Landlord's Consent to this Sublease promptly following the execution and delivery of this Sublease by Sublandlord and Subtenant. In
the event Landlord's Consent to this Sublease has not been obtained, or Landlord has not executed a recognition agreement with respect to Subtenant and this Sublease as provided in Section 14.8
of the Master Lease that is reasonably acceptable to Subtenant (the "Recognition Agreement"), by December 15, 2001 then this Sublease may be terminated by either party hereto upon notice to the
other, and upon such termination neither party hereto shall have any further rights against or obligations to the other party hereto.

14.Assignment and Subletting.Subtenant shall not have the right to assign this Sublease or sub-sublease the
Sublease Premises or any part thereof pursuant to the terms and conditions of Article 14 of the Master Lease, except that Subtenant may assign the Sublease Premises to any entity which directly
controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Subtenant or in connection with a merger or acquisition of Subtenant, provided, however, that Sublandlord may withhold its consent to any
proposed assignment for the reasons enumerated in Section 14.2 of the Master Lease.

15.Tenant Improvements. At all times after the Sublease Premises Delivery Date, Subtenant shall have the right to modify the
improvements existing in, or otherwise install new improvements in, the Sublease Premises, all as Tenant shall determine consistent with the terms of the Master Lease. In
connection with Subtenant's initial alterations to the Sublease Premises, Sublandlord hereby agrees that Sublandlord shall respond to Subtenant's request(s) for consent to its proposed alterations
(the "Requested Initial Alterations") within three (3) business days after Sublandlord's receipt of Subtenant's request for consent. To the extent Sublandlord does not approve or disapprove of
Subtenant's Requested Initial Alterations within said three (3) business day period, Sublandlord shall be deemed to have approved Subtenant's Requested Initial Alterations; provided, however,
that Subtenant shall be required to obtain the consent of Landlord as required by the Master Lease.

fifty percent (150%) of the Rent applicable during the last rental period of the Lease Term. All other terms and provisions of this Article 15 shall remain in full force and unmodified.

17.Limitation of Estate. Subtenant's estate shall in all respects be limited to, and be construed in a fashion consistent
with, the estate granted to Sublandlord by Landlord. Subtenant shall stand in the place of Sublandlord and shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless with respect to all covenants,
warranties, obligations, and payments made by Sublandlord under or required of Sublandlord by the Master Lease with respect to the Sublease Premises. In the event Sublandlord is prevented from
performing any of its obligations under this Sublease by a breach by Landlord of a term of the Master Lease, then Sublandlord's sole obligation in regard to its obligation under this Sublease shall be
to use reasonable efforts in diligently pursuing the correction or cure by Landlord of Landlord's breach.

18.Entire Agreement. It is understood and acknowledged that there are no oral agreements between the parties hereto
affecting this Sublease and this Sublease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, agreements and understandings, if any, between the parties hereto or
displayed by Sublandlord to Subtenant with respect to the subject matter thereof, and none thereof shall be used to interpret or construe this Sublease. This Sublease, and the exhibits and schedules
attached hereto, contain all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the parties relating in any manner to the rental, use and occupancy of the Sublease Premises and shall be
considered to be the only agreements between the parties hereto and their representatives and agents. None of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Sublease can be modified, deleted
or added to except in writing signed by the parties hereto. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both parties have been merged into and are included herein. There are no other
