5.2     Within a reasonable time after receipt of Owner’s Expense Statement, Sublandlord shall provide to Subtenant a written statement (a “Sublease Expense Statement”), which Sublease Expense Statement shall be based upon Owner’s Expense Statement (and a copy thereof provided to Subtenant), estimating the Sublease Expense Payment for such calendar year (the “Estimated Sublease Expense Payment”). Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord on the first (1st) day of each month during each calendar year after the Sublease Base Expense Year, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Estimated Sublease Expense Payment for such calendar year. If Sublandlord furnishes a Sublease Expense Statement for a calendar year following the commencement of such calendar year, then (x) until the first day of the month following the month in which such Sublease Expense Statement is furnished to Subtenant, Subtenant shall continue to pay to Sublandlord an amount equal to the monthly amount of the Estimated Sublease Expense Payment payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord for the prior calendar year; (y) promptly after the Sublease Expense Statement is furnished to Subtenant, Sublandlord shall give notice to Subtenant stating whether the amount of the Estimated Sublease Expense Payment previously paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord for the current calendar year was greater or less than the installments of the Estimated Sublease Expense Payment to be paid for the current calendar year, and (a) if there shall be a deficiency, Subtenant shall pay the amount thereof within fifteen (15) days after Sublandlord delivers such Sublease Expense Statement to Subtenant, or (b) if there shall have been an overpayment, provided Subtenant is not in default hereunder, Sublandlord shall credit against the next installments of Sublease Expense Payment the amount of Subtenant’s overpayment (or if the Term has expired, Sublandlord shall refund such amount to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord delivers such Annual Statement). On or before the first day of the month following the month in which the Sublease Expense Statement is furnished to Subtenant, and monthly thereafter throughout the remainder of the calendar year, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Estimated Sublease Expense Payment shown on the most recent Sublease Expense Statement. If Sublandlord receives a revised Owner’s Expense Statement, Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant and furnish to Subtenant a revised Sublease Expense Statement (and provide a copy of such revised Owner’s Expense Statement to Subtenant, and the Estimated Sublease Expense Payment for such calendar year shall be adjusted in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence.

5.4     At any time during or after each calendar year after the Sublease Base Expense Year, Sublandlord shall furnish to Subtenant an annual statement or statements (the “Sublease Annual Statement”) setting forth the amount of Operating Expenses payable by Sublandlord to Owner during such calendar year, which Sublease Annual Statement shall be prepared based upon Owner’s Annual Statement furnished to Sublandlord pursuant to Section 3.02 A.3. of the Lease received by Sublandlord from Owner (a copy of which shall be provided to Subtenant) relating to annual Operating Expenses payable by Sublandlord for the preceding calendar year. Sublandlord shall endeavor to deliver such Sublease Annual Statement within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Owner’s Annual Statement. If the Sublease Annual Statement shows that the Estimated Sublease Expense Payment (or other payments) for such calendar year exceeded the Sublease Expense Payment which should have been paid for such calendar year, provided Subtenant is not in default hereunder, Sublandlord shall credit against the next installment(s) of the Sublease Expense Payment payable hereunder, the amount of such excess (or if the Term has expired, Sublandlord shall refund such amount to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord delivers the Sublease Annual Statement to Subtenant. If the Sublease Annual Statement for such calendar year shows that the Estimated Sublease Expense Payment for such calendar year was less than the Sublease Expense Payment (or other payments) which should have been paid for such calendar year, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord the amount of such deficiency within ten (10) days after Sublandlord delivers the Sublease Annual Statement.

5.5     In the event that Subtenant reasonably believes that a Sublease Annual Statement furnished to Subtenant hereunder contains an error in calculating the Sublease Expense Payment or reasonably disputes an item in the Sublease Annual Statement, Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord in writing (a “Dispute Notice”) within thirty (30) after the date Sublandlord delivers such Sublease Annual Statement, with time being of the essence, and provide a reasonable basis for such alleged error or dispute with reasonably detailed calculations of such alleged error or dispute. Upon receipt of such Dispute Notice, provided (i) Subtenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period, (ii) Subtenant has provided Sublandlord with a reasonable basis for the alleged error or dispute with reasonably detailed calculations of such alleged error or dispute, (iii) Sublandlord believes, in its reasonable judgment, that a basis for the alleged error or dispute claimed by Subtenant exists, and (iv) Subtenant continues to pay the disputed Sublease Expense Payment(s) to Sublandlord in accordance with the terms of this Sublease pending the resolution of such alleged error or dispute, then Sublandlord agrees, within a reasonable time thereafter, to attempt to correct the alleged error or dispute in or with the Sublease Annual Statement, or if Sublandlord is unable to correct the alleged error or dispute, Sublandlord agrees to notify Owner and attempt to resolve the dispute or if Sublandlord is unable to do so, exercise its right to examine Owner’s books and records with respect to the alleged error or dispute set forth in the Sublease Annual Statement in accordance with Section 3.02A.4 of the Lease. 

 

5.6     In the event that Sublandlord’s examination of Owner’s books and records reveals an overpayment by Subtenant of the Sublease Expense Payment(s) in question, and provided Sublandlord actually receives a refund or credit of payments of Operating Expenses from Owner attributable to such Sublease Expense Payment(s), provided Subtenant is not in default hereunder following notice and any applicable cure period, Sublandlord shall credit against the next installment(s) of Sublease Expense Payment(s) due hereunder following Sublandlord’s actual receipt of such refund or credit from Owner an amount equal to the amount of such refund or credit attributable to Sublease Expense Payment(s) made by Subtenant for such calendar year to which the Sublease Annual Statement in question relates (or if the term has ended, Sublandlord shall refund such amount to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord’s receipt thereof), after deducting therefrom the reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s and accountant’s fees, incurred by Sublandlord in connection with such examination, including, without limitation, all amounts charged by Owner to Sublandlord in connection with such examination, whether or not such examination resulted in a refund or credit of the Sublease Expense Payment(s) in question and to the extent not reimbursed by Owner to Sublandlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease. In the event that Sublandlord’s examination does result in a refund or credit, Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such refund or credit from Owner, provided that, subject to Article 11 hereof, Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant for Owner’s failure or refusal to provide such refund or credit to Sublandlord.

7.1     Any and all sums due and payable to Sublandlord under this Sublease, including, without limitation, the Sublease Expense Payment, any Surcharges and Parking Charges (as hereinafter defined), shall be deemed to be, and collectible as, additional rent (“Additional Rent” or “additional rent”), whether or not designated as rent and/or additional rent. If Subtenant shall fail to pay when due any installment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent payable hereunder, within a period of five (5) days after the due date of the installment in question, Subtenant shall also pay to Sublandlord, a late charge equal to five (5%) percent of the overdue amount, such late charge to be payable as Additional Rent hereunder. In addition, in the event that any installment of Fixed Rent or additional rent is not paid when due, the installment in question shall also bear interest at a rate that is equal to the lesser of (i) ten percent (10%) per annum, or (ii) the highest rate permitted by law, such interest to be payable as Additional Rent hereunder. The payment of such late charge and interest shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Sublandlord in the case of non-payment of rent. 

 

7.2     All Fixed Rent, Additional Rent, and all other costs, charges and sums payable by Subtenant hereunder (collectively, “Rental”), shall constitute rent under this Sublease, and shall be payable to Sublandlord by check to Twinlab Consolidation Corporation, 2314 Momentum Place, Chicago, IL 60689, Attn: Accounts Payable, or by wire transfer to SWIFT: FTBCUS3C, ABA Number 042000314, Account Number 7164494887, unless Sublandlord shall otherwise so direct in writing. 

 

7.3     Subtenant shall promptly pay the Rental as and when the same shall become due and payable without set-off, offset or deduction of any kind whatsoever (except as expressly set forth in this Sublease), and, in the event of Subtenant’s failure to pay the same when due (subject to any grace periods provided herein), Sublandlord shall have all of the rights and remedies provided for herein or at law or in equity, in the case of non-payment of rent.

 

7.4     Sublandlord’s failure during the Term to prepare and deliver any statements or bills required to be delivered to Subtenant hereunder, including, without limitation, a Sublease Expense Statement and/or a Sublease Annual Statement, or Sublandlord’s failure to make a demand under any provisions of this Sublease shall not in any way be deemed to be a waiver of, or cause Sublandlord to forfeit or surrender its rights to collect any additional rent which may have become due under this Sublease hereof during the Term. Subtenant’s liability for Rental due under this Sublease hereof accruing during the Term shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Sublease.

 

7.5     Subtenant shall be liable for the payment of all charges, fees and other costs imposed on or incurred by Sublandlord under the Lease related to or in connection with Subtenant’s occupancy of the Premises or as a result of Subtenant’s actions or omissions under this Sublease, including, without limitation, all special requests of Subtenant which are payable by Sublandlord to Owner under the Lease.

Any Subtenant Alterations, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Initial Alterations (as hereinafter defined), if any, and Minor Alterations, shall be performed by Subtenant, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, ordinances and codes (collectively, “Legal Requirements”) and all applicable provisions of this Sublease and the Lease, including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 7.03 of the Lease. All Subtenant Alterations, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Initial Alterations and Minor Alterations, shall be performed only by contractors, subcontractors and/or mechanics reasonably approved by Sublandlord and Owner, to the extent Owner's consent is required under the Lease. 

 

9.2     Subtenant shall promptly reimburse Sublandlord upon demand for all actual third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Sublandlord in connection with Sublandlord’s review of any Plans and Specifications (as hereinafter defined) submitted to Sublandlord hereunder, including without limitation, architects’ and engineers’ fees and any and all costs and fees incurred by Sublandlord under the Lease in connection with Owner’s review of such Plans and Specifications. Sublandlord shall have no liability to Subtenant for Owner’s failure or refusal to approve Subtenant’s Plans and Specifications to any Subtenant Alterations, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Initial Alterations or Minor Alterations, provided, however, that Sublandlord shall reasonably cooperate with Subtenant at no cost or expense to Sublandlord in requesting Owner’s consent to Subtenant Alterations.

 

9.3     Prior to commencing any Subtenant Alterations, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Initial Alterations and Minor Alterations, Subtenant shall (i) submit to Owner and Sublandlord detailed plans and specifications (including layout, architectural, mechanical and structural drawings) (“Plans and Specifications”) for the proposed Subtenant Alterations and shall not commence any such Subtenant Alterations without first obtaining Sublandlord’s and Owner’s prior written approval of such Plans and Specifications, (ii) at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, obtain all permits, approvals and certificates required by any governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises, and (iii) furnish to Sublandlord certificates of worker's compensation (covering all persons to be employed by Subtenant, and Subtenant's contractors and subcontractors in connection with such work) and commercial public liability (including property damage coverage) insurance in such form, with such companies, for such periods and in such amounts as are required under the Lease, naming Sublandlord and Owner, and their respective officers, directors and employees, and any mortgagee, as additional insureds. Subtenant’s Plans and Specifications once approved by Owner and Sublandlord, shall be deemed the “Approved Plans”.

9.4     Subject to the provisions of this Article 9, Subtenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for performing any and all initial work, alterations, installations, improvements and decorations necessary or desired by Subtenant to prepare the Premises for Subtenant’s use and occupancy (“Subtenant’s Initial Alterations”). 

 

9.5     Upon completion of any Subtenant Alterations, including Subtenant’s Initial Alterations and Minor Alterations, Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord general releases and final waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors and materials suppliers involved in the performance of such Subtenant Alterations, and a certificate from Subtenant’s independent licensed architect certifying to Sublandlord and Owner that (i) in such architect’s opinion such Subtenant Alterations have been performed in a good and workmanlike manner and completed in accordance with the Approved Plans for such Subtenant Alterations and (ii) all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen have been paid for such Subtenant Alterations and materials furnished through such date. In addition, upon completion of any Subtenant Alterations, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Initial Alterations and Minor Alterations, Subtenant, at Subtenant's sole cost and expense, shall obtain certificates of final approval of such work required by any governmental authority and shall furnish Sublandlord with copies thereof, together with "as-built" plans and specifications for such Subtenant Alterations, it being agreed that all filings with governmental authorities to obtain such permits, approvals and certificates shall be made, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense. All materials and equipment to be incorporated in the Premises as a result of any Subtenant Alterations, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Initial Alterations and Minor Alterations, shall be first class quality and no such materials or equipment shall be subject to any lien, encumbrance, chattel mortgage or title retention or security agreement. No Subtenant Alterations, including, without limitation Subtenant’s Initial Alterations, shall be undertaken prior to Subtenant delivering to Sublandlord either (i) a performance bond and labor and materials payment bond (issued by a surety company and in form reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord), each in an amount equal to 120% of the cost of such Subtenant Alterations (as reasonably estimated by Subtenant's architect, engineer, or contractor), or (ii) such other security as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord or required by Owner or any mortgagee, ground lessor or holder of any super interest. All Subtenant Alterations, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Initial Alterations and Minor Alterations (other than strictly cosmetic alterations such as painting or carpeting), shall be performed only under the supervision of an independent licensed architect approved by Sublandlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that Owner has previously approved such architect.

10.     Covenants with Respect to the Lease.

 

10.1     Subtenant shall not do anything that would constitute a default under the Lease or omit to do anything that Subtenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Sublease so as to cause a default under the Lease.

 

10.2     Subtenant shall not request Owner’s consent or approval directly or request any Services directly from Owner, including, without limitation, including, without limitation, tenant improvement work, repairs to the Premises or any services or materials which may be furnished by Landlord to tenants and occupants of the Building for a charge or fee, or any additional services pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Lease, and no efforts by Subtenant to obtain Owner’s consent or approval or such Services from Owner shall constitute Sublandlord’s consent or approval or prejudice Sublandlord’s right to withhold its consent or approval, or to direct Owner not to provide such Services to Subtenant. Subject to the terms of this Section 10.2, Sublandlord authorizes Subtenant to request and obtain directly from Owner additional janitorial, heating, ventilating and air conditioning services outside of Regular Business Hours in accordance with Section 6.02 of the Lease (collectively “Permitted Additional Services”), and routine maintenance, repairs or other Services performed or provided by Owner solely to the extent that such maintenance, repairs or other Services are performed or provided by Owner without the imposition of any fee, charge or expense to Sublandlord and/or Subtenant. Subtenant agrees to furnish a copy of any written request for Permitted Additional Services simultaneously with its request for such Permitted Additional Services furnished to Owner. If Owner elects to bill Subtenant directly for Permitted Additional Services (in which event Subtenant shall furnish Sublandlord with a copy of any such bills upon its receipt), Subtenant shall pay for such Permitted Additional Services so billed within ten (10) days of receipt of such bill (or such longer period as may be set forth in such bill). Anything contained in this Section 10.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that Subtenant fails to pay all amounts billed to Subtenant for Permitted Additional Services provided to Subtenant within the time period set forth in such bill, Sublandlord shall have the right, on notice to Subtenant, to terminate Subtenant’s right to request Permitted Additional Services directly from Owner for the remainder of the Term hereof. 

 

10.3     The time limits set forth in the Lease for the giving of notices, making demands, performance of any act, condition or covenant, or the exercise of any right, remedy or option, are changed for the purpose of this Sublease, by lengthening or shortening the same in each instance, as appropriate, so that notices may be given, demands made, or any act, condition or covenant performed, or any right, remedy or option hereunder exercised, by Sublandlord or Subtenant, as the case may be, (and each party covenants that it will do so) within three (3) days prior to the expiration of the time limit (unless such time period is ten (10) days or less, in which case such three (3) day time period shall be reduced to two (2) days), taking into account the maximum grace period, if any, relating thereto contained in the Lease. Each party shall promptly deliver to the other party copies of all notices, requests or demands which relate to the Premises or the use or occupancy thereof after receipt of same from Owner.

 

10.4     Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that (i) Sublandlord has a valid and subsisting leasehold estate under the Lease, (ii) Sublandlord has the power, right and authority to make this Sublease and to perform its obligations hereunder, (iii) Sublandlord has previously delivered to Subtenant a true and complete copy of the Lease, except as indicated thereon for the rental amount and other financial portions thereof which have been redacted, and (iv) no petition in bankruptcy or similar proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code is pending or to Sublandlord’s best knowledge, threatened against, or contemplated by, Sublandlord.

10.5     Subtenant represents and warrants to Sublandlord that (i) Subtenant has the power, right and authority to make this Sublease and to perform its obligations hereunder, (ii) no petition in bankruptcy or similar proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code is pending or to Subtenant’s best knowledge, threatened against, or contemplated by, Subtenant, and (iii) Subtenant acknowledges receipt of a true and complete copy of the Lease, redacted as set forth in Section 10.4 above.

 

11.     Services and Repairs. 

 

11.1     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease or in the Lease, Subtenant shall be required to maintain and repair the Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease and to fulfill Sublandlord’s obligations as Tenant under the Lease with regard to the Premises and Sublandlord shall not be required to provide any of the Services that Owner has agreed to provide, whether or not specified in the Lease (or required by Legal Requirements), or furnish the electricity to the Premises that Owner has agreed to furnish pursuant to the Lease (or required by law), or to otherwise repair or maintain the Premises, or make any of the repairs or restorations that Owner has agreed to make pursuant to the Lease (or required by law), or comply with any Legal Requirements, or take any other action that Owner has agreed to provide, furnish, make, comply with, or take, or cause to be provided, furnished, made, complied with or taken under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall have the benefit of all Services, electricity, repairs, restorations, or actions to be provided or taken by Owner thereunder. Provided Subtenant is not in default of this Sublease following any applicable notice and cure period , Sublandlord agrees to request, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, that Owner provide such Services (provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not be obligated to take any action which might give rise to a default under the Lease or commence any litigation or other legal proceedings against Owner), and Subtenant shall rely upon, and look solely to, Owner for the provision, furnishing or making thereof or compliance therewith. A default by Owner under the Lease shall not excuse Subtenant’s performance under this Sublease except to the extent Sublandlord is excused from performance under the Lease. Subtenant shall not make any claim against Sublandlord for any damage which may arise, nor shall Subtenant’s obligations hereunder be diminished, by reason of (i) the failure of Owner to keep, observe or perform any of its obligations pursuant to the Lease, or (ii) the acts or omissions of Owner, its agents, contractors, servants, employees, invitees or licensees. The provisions of this Article 11 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

 

12.     Consents.

 

12.1     Whenever Sublandlord has expressly agreed under the term of this Sublease not to unreasonably withhold its consent or approval hereunder and the consent or approval of Owner, the lessor under a superior lease, or the mortgagee under a mortgage, as the case may be, is also required to consent pursuant to the terms of the Lease, if Owner, the lessor under a superior lease, or the mortgagee under a mortgage shall withhold its consent or approval for any reason whatsoever, Sublandlord shall not be deemed to be acting unreasonably if it shall also withhold its consent or approval. Sublandlord agrees that it shall within a reasonable time after receipt thereof from Subtenant, convey all requests for the consent or approval of Owner to Owner and Sublandlord shall use reasonable efforts thereafter to secure such consents or approvals provided same is at no cost to Sublandlord and further provided that Sublandlord shall have no obligation to commence litigation or other legal proceedings against Owner.

 


 

13




 


 

12.2     If Subtenant shall request Sublandlord’s consent and Sublandlord has expressly agreed, under the terms of this Sublease, that neither its consent nor its approval shall be unreasonably withheld, and Sublandlord shall fail or refuse to give such consent or approval, and Subtenant shall dispute the reasonableness of Sublandlord’s refusal to give its consent or approval, such dispute shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. If the determination shall be adverse to Sublandlord, Sublandlord, nevertheless, shall not be liable to Subtenant for a breach of Sublandlord's covenant not to unreasonably withhold such consent or approval, and Subtenant’s sole remedy in such event shall be the granting of consent or approval by Sublandlord with respect to such request under this Sublease and in no event shall Subtenant be entitled to damages in connection therewith.

 

13.     Termination of Lease. If the Lease is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof with respect to all or any portion of the Leased Premises prior to the Expiration Date for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, by reason of casualty or condemnation, this Sublease shall thereupon terminate with respect to any corresponding portion of the Premises, and Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant by reason thereof. In the event of such termination, provided Subtenant is not in default hereunder, Sublandlord shall return to Subtenant that portion of the Fixed Rent and/or Additional Rent paid in advance by Subtenant with respect to such portion of the Premises, if any, prorated as of the date of such termination, and the Letter of Credit or any unapplied proceeds thereof.

 

14.     Sublease, Not Assignment. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, this Sublease shall be deemed to be a sublease of the Premises and not an assignment, in whole or in part, of Sublandlord’s interest in the Lease.

 

15.     Damage, Destruction, Fire and other Casualty; Condemnation. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Sublease or the provisions of the Lease herein incorporated by reference, Subtenant shall not be entitled to an abatement of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other item of Rental, by reason of a casualty or condemnation affecting the Premises unless Sublandlord receives an abatement with respect to its corresponding obligation under the Lease. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Lease to the contrary, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to repair, reconstruct or restore the Building or the Premises. This Sublease shall not terminate by reason of a casualty or condemnation affecting the Premises unless the Lease is terminated by Owner or Sublandlord pursuant to the terms thereof.

 

16.     No Waivers. Failure by either party hereto in any instance to insist upon the strict performance of any one or more of the obligations of the other under this Sublease, or to exercise any election herein contained, shall in no manner be or be deemed to be a waiver by such party of any of such other party’s defaults or breaches hereunder or of any of the first party’s rights and remedies by reason of such defaults or breaches, or a waiver or relinquishment for the future of the requirement of strict performance of any and all of such other party’s obligations hereunder. Further, no payment by Subtenant or receipt by Sublandlord of a lesser amount than the correct amount or manner of payment of Rental due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed to effect or evidence an accord and satisfaction, and Sublandlord may accept any checks or payments as made without prejudice to Sublandlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Sublease or otherwise provided at law or equity.

18.     Indemnity.

 

18.1     Subtenant shall not do or permit any act or thing to be done upon the Premises which may subject Sublandlord to any liability or responsibility for injury, damages to persons or property or to any liability by reason of any violation of any requirement of law, and shall exercise such control over the Premises as to fully protect Sublandlord against any such liability. Subtenant shall indemnify and save harmless Sublandlord, the Sublandlord Parties (hereinafter defined) and the employees, agents and contractors of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Sublandlord Indemnitees”) from and against (i) all claims of whatever nature against the Sublandlord Indemnitees to the extent arising from any act, omission or negligence of Subtenant, its contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, invitees or visitors, (ii) all claims against the Sublandlord Indemnitees to the extent arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any person and occurring during the Term in the Premises, and (iii) all claims against the Sublandlord Indemnitees to the extent arising from any accident, injury or damage occurring outside of the Premises but anywhere within or about the Building, where such accident, injury or damage results or is claimed to have resulted from an act, omission or negligence of Subtenant or Subtenant’s contractors, licensees, agents, servants, employees, invitees or visitors. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity from and against any and all liability, fines, suits, demands, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof. The foregoing indemnification obligations shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease

18.2     Sublandlord shall indemnify and hold Subtenant harmless from any liability or damages incurred by Subtenant arising solely from a termination of this Sublease caused by a default by Sublandlord under the Lease, unless such default is attributable, in whole or in part, to any act or omission of Subtenant, its agents, employees or contractors or any other person or entity claiming by, through or under Subtenant; provided, however, that in no event shall Sublandlord be liable for any consequential, indirect or special damages incurred by Subtenant. The foregoing indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.

 

18.3     If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against an indemnified party, which claim, action or proceeding the indemnifying party shall be obligated to indemnify the indemnified party against pursuant to the terms of this Lease, then, upon demand by the indemnified party, the indemnifying party at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the indemnified party’s name, if necessary, by such attorneys as the indemnified party shall approve, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Attorneys for the indemnified party’s insurer are hereby deemed approved for purposes of this Article 18. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party may retain its own attorneys to defend or assist in defending any claim, action or proceeding involving potential liability of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or more, and the indemnifying party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys. The provisions of this Article 18 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

Each party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party against and from any claims for any brokerage commissions and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising out of its respective representations and warranties contained in this Article 19 being untrue. Sublandlord shall pay any fees and commissions due the Brokers in connection with the execution of this Sublease pursuant to a separate agreement.

16




 


 

20.2     Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 20.1 hereof, provided (i) that the Delivery Requirements have been satisfied to Sublandlord’s reasonable satisfaction, and (ii) Subtenant is not in default of any of terms, covenants or conditions of this Sublease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, and further subject to all of the terms and condition of this Sublease, including, without limitation, Article 9 hereof, Subtenant may have access to the Premises, solely during the regular business hours of the Building set forth in the Lease, during the period commencing on the Early Access Date through the day immediately prior to the Commencement Date (the “Early Access Period”) for the sole purpose of Subtenant performing Subtenant’s Initial Alterations and for installing its furniture, equipment and cabling (“Subtenant’s Early Access Work”). Subtenant shall be bound by and comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease and the Lease during the Early Access Period, other than the obligation to pay Fixed Rent, including, without limitation, obtaining any and all required approvals from Sublandlord and Owner under this Sublease and the Lease in connection with Subtenant’s Early Access Work, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Initial Alterations.  Sublandlord's granting of access to the Premises pursuant to this Article 20 during the Early Access Period may not be construed as Sublandlord’s and/or Owner’s consent to the performance by Subtenant of Subtenant’s Early Access Work, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Initial Alterations. Subtenant’s access to the Premises during the Early Access Period shall be limited solely to the performance of Subtenant’s Early Access Work and in no event may Subtenant use or occupy the Premises during the Early Access Period for the conduct of any business, and in the event that Subtenant commences the use of the Premises for the conduct of its regular business operations, the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date that Tenant commences the use of the Premises for the conduct of its regular business operations for all purposes under this Sublease. In the event that Sublandlord determines, in its sole discretion, that Subtenant and/or its contractors or employees are violating any of the terms or conditions of this Sublease or the Lease, then Sublandlord may revoke any further access to the Premises during the Early Access Period upon notice to Subtenant until such violation is resolved to Sublandlord’s reasonable satisfaction. At Sublandlord’s request, Subtenant agrees to provide Sublandlord with copies of paid invoices for costs and expenses incurred by Subtenant in connection with Subtenant’s initial occupancy of the Premises, including, without limitation, Subtenant’s Early Access Work, moving costs, data and voice wiring, cabling and equipment, and kitchen appliances, furniture, equipment and workstation purchase, testing and installation in the Premises.

 

21.     Consent of Landlord to this Sublease.

 

21.1     Subtenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Sublease is subject to and conditioned upon Sublandlord obtaining the written consent (the “Consent”) of Owner as provided in the Lease. Promptly following the execution and delivery hereof, Sublandlord shall submit this Sublease to Owner. Subtenant hereby agrees that it shall cooperate in good faith with Sublandlord and shall comply with any reasonable requests made of Subtenant by Sublandlord or Owner in the procurement of the Consent. In no event shall Sublandlord be obligated to make any payment to Owner in order to obtain the Consent or the consent to any provision hereof, other than as expressly set forth in the Lease. 

 


 

17




 


 

21.2     If Owner shall not have executed and delivered the Consent on or before forty-five (45) days from the date of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have the right to cancel this Sublease on fifteen (15) days written notice to Subtenant (the “Cancellation Notice”) and on the date which is fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice, this Sublease shall be deemed canceled and no further force or effect and neither party shall have any liability or obligation to the other in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if within fifteen (15) days after the giving of the Cancellation Notice, the Consent by Owner is received, then the Cancellation Notice shall be deemed null and void and the Sublease shall continue in full force and effect.

 

22.     Assignment, Subletting and Mortgaging.

 

22.1     Subtenant shall not assign, sell, transfer (whether by operation or law or otherwise), pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber this Sublease or any portion of its interest in the Premises, nor sub-sublet all or any portion of the Premises or permit any other person or entity to use or occupy all or any portion of the Premises, without the prior written consent of Sublandlord, which consent may be withheld in Sublandlord’s sole discretion, and Owner, in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease and the Lease.

22.2     If this Sublease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet, in violation of this Sublease, Sublandlord, after default by Subtenant in its obligations hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, may collect rent from the assignee or subtenant and apply the net amount collected to the Rental herein reserved, but no such assignment or subletting shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant set forth in this Section 22.2, or the acceptance of the assignee or subtenant as a tenant, or a release of Subtenant from the further performance and observance by Subtenant of the covenants, obligations and agreements on the part of Subtenant to be performed or observed herein. The consent by Sublandlord or Owner to an assignment, sale, pledge, transfer, mortgage or subletting shall not in any way be construed to relieve Subtenant from obtaining the express consent in writing, to the extent required by this Sublease or the Lease, of Sublandlord and Owner to any further assignment, sale, pledge, transfer, mortgage or subletting.

 

22.3     Either a transfer (including the issuance of treasury stock or the creation and issuance of new stock) of a controlling interest in the shares of Subtenant (if Subtenant is a corporation, other than a professional corporation, or trust) or a transfer of a majority of the total interest in Subtenant (if Subtenant is a partnership, including a limited liability partnership, or a limited liability company) at any one time or over a period of time through a series of transfers, shall be deemed an assignment of this Sublease and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Sublease, including, without limitation, the requirements that Subtenant obtain Sublandlord’s and Owner’s prior consent thereto. The transfer of shares of Subtenant (if Subtenant is a corporation or trust) for purposes of this Section 22.3 shall not include the sale of shares by persons who are (i) officers or directors of Subtenant, or (ii) by persons owning ten (10%) percent or more of the outstanding shares of Subtenant which sale is effected through the “over-the-counter market” or through any recognized stock exchange.

22.4     Subject to Owner's right pursuant to Section 12.01.A. of the Lease, if Sublandlord shall approve any assignment of this Sublease or sublet of all or any portion of the Premises, then (i) if an assignment is involved, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord, as and when received, fifty (50%) percent of any consideration received by Subtenant for the Premises in connection with such assignment in excess of the Rental payable by Subtenant hereunder, after deducting “Subtenant’s Costs”, which are defined as and expressly limited to the reasonable legal fees, marketing costs, brokerage commissions, build-out expenses and alterations allowances, if any, incurred by Subtenant in connection with such assignment, and (ii) if a subletting is involved, and the rents received by Subtenant under such sublease, after deducting Subtenant’s Costs incurred by Subtenant in connection with such sublease, shall exceed the Rental reserved hereunder that are allocable to the portion of the Premises sub-sublet by Subtenant (calculated on the basis of the Rental set forth herein), fifty (50%) percent of such excess shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord as and when received.

 

23.     Personalty; Personal Property Taxes. Commencing on the Commencement Date and throughout the Term, Subtenant shall pay when due any personal property taxes due on Subtenant’s personal property or trade fixtures located at the Premises (the “Personalty Tax”). If the taxing authority bills Sublandlord or Owner for the Personalty Tax, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord for same as additional rent due hereunder within ten (10) days following Sublandlord’s demand therefor.

 

24.     Insurance. During the Term, Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall provide and maintain commercial general public liability and property damage insurance with a broad form contractual liability endorsement and other insurance required to be carried by Sublandlord in conformity with the provisions of the Lease applicable to the Premises, including, but not limited to, those set forth in the provisions of Section 8.03 of the Lease (“Subtenant’s Insurance”). Subtenant shall cause Sublandlord, Owner, any other party which Owner or Sublandlord may request under the Lease to be included as additional insureds in said policy or policies which shall contain provisions, that it or they will not be cancelable except upon not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to all insureds and that the act or omission of one insured will not invalidate the policy as to the other insureds. Subtenant shall furnish to Sublandlord a certificate or certificates of insurance or other satisfactory evidence confirming that Subtenant’s Insurance is in effect at or before the Commencement Date and, on request, at reasonable intervals thereafter, but in no event less than once annually.

33.     Option to Renew. 

 

33.1     Subject to the terms of this Article 33, Subtenant shall have the option to renew the Term of this Sublease ("Renewal Option") for the period commencing on the day immediately following the Expiration Date and ending on April 29, 2027 (the “Renewal Term”); provided that (A) at the time Subtenant gives Sublandlord notice of Subtenant’s intention to exercise the Renewal Option and upon the Expiration Date of the initial Term (i) Subtenant is not in default of any of the terms or conditions of this Sublease following notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period hereunder, (ii) Subtenant has not assigned this Sublease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, and (iii) Subtenant is in occupancy of the entire Premises, and (B) within thirty (30) days after Subtenant exercises the Renewal Option, Subtenant delivers to Sublandlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit, or a new letter of credit (which may be issued by Fifth Third Bank), in either case, in the Security Amount, in accordance with Article 30 hereof and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Sublandlord in its sole discretion, and with a final expiration date no earlier than June 30, 2027 (the “Renewal Term Letter of Credit”). Anything in this Article 33 to the contrary notwithstanding, if Subtenant fails to deliver the Renewal Term Letter of Credit to Sublandlord within such thirty (30) days, then Sublandlord shall have the right, at any time thereafter on notice to Subtenant, to declare Subtenant’s exercise of the Renewal Option void and of no force or effect, and in such, this Term of this Sublease shall end on the Expiration Date set forth in Section 2.1 hereof. Subtenant shall exercise the Renewal Option, if applicable, by giving Sublandlord notice (the “Renewal Notice”) no later than six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT TO THE DELIVERY OF THE RENEWAL NOTICE.
