furniture and any other equipment are being provided to Subtenant at no cost
under this Sublease, and that, as such, Sublandlord makes no representations or
warranties regarding any furniture or equipment as part of this Sublease, and
that any failure regarding any of the foregoing shall not entitle Subtenant to
any rent reduction, abatement, self-help or right to offset or terminate the
Sublease.  Sublandlord shall have no
obligation or duty to Subtenant regarding the preparation of the Subleased
Premises for occupancy of Subtenant except that Sublandlord shall deliver the

materials and/or toxic substances (including asbestos) in the Building in any
concentration that would be reportable (or would require remediation) under any

or this Sublease to the contrary, neither Landlord nor Sublandlord shall have
any obligations to perform any tenant improvements or to provide Subtenant with
any tenant improvement allowance in connection with the Subleased Premises.

(c)  In the event Subtenant desires to make

provisions of the Lease.

10.           Estoppel Certificate.  Subtenant agrees, from time to time, upon:
(i) not less than five (5) business days prior written request by either
Sublandlord or Landlord if such request is made for the benefit of the
Landlord, and (ii) not less than ten (10) business days prior written request

and conditions thereof.

(b)  Except as may be inconsistent with the terms
hereof, all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in the

any kind whatsoever by reason of any breach or default on the part of Subtenant
hereunder by reason of which the Lease may be terminated or forfeited.  If the Lease terminates or is forfeited as a
result of a default or breach of Subtenant under this Sublease and/or the 

 11
 

 

Lease, Subtenant shall be liable to the Sublandlord
for the direct damages suffered as a result of such termination; provided,

or consequential damages, including business interruption or lost profits.

the contrary, the following provisions of the Lease are excluded from this
Sublease, and Subtenant shall have no right or obligation under this Sublease

conditions of this Sublease, Subtenant shall have all of the rights of
Sublandlord under the Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises.

(g)   Notwithstanding anything hereunder to the
contrary, the only services or rights to which Subtenant is entitled hereunder
are those to which Sublandlord is entitled under the Lease and for all such
services and rights Subtenant shall look to Landlord under the Lease, and
Sublandlord shall have no 

 13
 

 

obligation to supply any such services or perform any
other obligation of Landlord.

(h) Rent shall not abate
under this Sublease, for or on account of any failure by Landlord to perform
the obligations and duties imposed on it under the Lease; provided, however, in
the event that Sublandlord is entitled to abatement of rent under the Lease
pursuant to the provisions thereof, then Subtenant shall be entitled to pro
rata share of an abatement of rent due under this Sublease as Sublandlord is
entitled to such abatement under the Lease.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary or any right acquired pursuant hereto, the Subtenant shall not limit,
interfere with or restrict in any way Sublandlord’s using or further dividing
or subletting to any third party(ies), any of the other space leased by
Sublandlord under the Lease, in whole or in part(s); provided that any such
use, division or subletting of the Premises shall not adversely effect
Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises or its rights hereunder.

12.           Assignment and Subletting, Consent to Sublease.

Subleased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord and
Sublandlord; such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed.  Any proposed assignment or
sublease shall be subject to the assignment and sublease terms and conditions
in the Lease.  Further, any profits
derived from a sublease, excluding Permitted Transfers, shall be split between
Sublandlord and Subtenant on a 50/50 basis after first deducting all reasonable
transaction costs.

 14
 

 

Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Sublease or the Lease, Subtenant may assign its entire
interest under this Sublease or sublease all or a portion of the Subleased
Premises to an Affiliate (as defined below) with Landlord’s or Sublandlord’s
consent (such transfer being a “Permitted Transfer”).  For purposes of this Sublease, “Affiliate”
shall mean an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with, Subtenant, including but not limited to successors to Subtenant
by merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of Subtenant or
any division of Subtenant which is a separate legal entity. No Permitted
Transfer will relieve Subtenant from Subtenant’s obligations and agreements
under this Sublease and Subtenant will continue to be liable to the same extent
as though no assignment of the Sublease had been made.

(b)   This Sublease shall not be effective until
executed and delivered by Sublandlord and Subtenant and consented to by
Landlord, which consent shall include a recognition, attornment and
nondisturbance agreement reasonably acceptable to Subtenant.  Promptly following the execution and delivery
of this Sublease by Sublandlord and Subtenant, Sublandlord shall submit this
Sublease to Landlord and shall use reasonable efforts to diligently pursue
Landlord’s consent.  Subtenant hereby
agrees that it shall cooperate in good faith with Sublandlord in the
procurement of the consent.    In the
event that Landlord refuses to consent to this Sublease or fails to consent to
this Sublease within thirty (30) days from the date of this Sublease, then
Subtenant shall have the right, exercisable at any time until Landlord’s
consent is obtained, to terminate this Sublease upon written notice to
Sublandlord.

warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker other than Richards
Barry Joyce & Partners and CB Richard Ellis in connection with the
negotiation and approval of this Sublease. 
Sublandlord shall be responsible for any fees or claims for fees payable
to or asserted by such broker and each party shall indemnify and hold harmless
the other against any claim for brokerage fees based upon facts inconsistent
with the foregoing.

 15
 

 

14.           Insurance.  Subtenant shall provide insurance amounts of
$1 million/ $2 million, and both Sublandlord and Landlord shall be named as

Subtenant’s insurance coverage shall be deposited with Sublandlord.

15.           Security
Deposit.  Subtenant shall not be
required to provide a security deposit to Sublandlord.  Subtenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that
any and all existing security deposits paid by Sublandlord to the Landlord,
pursuant to the Lease, shall remain the property of Sublandlord, and Subtenant
hereby waives any right thereto.

16.           Notices.  All notices required or permitted hereunder

defaults as aforesaid (or, in the case of Sublandlord’s failure to make any
required payments under the Lease, the amount of any such due and unpaid
sum).  Subtenant may exercise the
