Company and his or her duties hereunder. In the notice delivered by Employee to the Company pursuant to Section 5(a), Employee shall elect either (A) to terminate his or her employment with the Company, in which case Employee shall
receive: (x) subject to the terms thereof, all benefits which may be due to Employee under the provisions of any Benefit Plan; and (y) in a lump sum severance payment, within 30 days following the effective date of such termination, the
present value (using the discount rate described below) of an amount equal to the sum of the annual salary at the rate in effect on the date of termination of employment or immediately prior to the Change in Control, whichever is greater, plus an
annual bonus in a minimum amount equal to Employee’s then applicable target bonus amount or the Employee’s applicable target bonus amount in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, whichever is greater, for the remainder of the
existing term of this Agreement, without any further renewal or continuation, provided that such amount shall be not less than the sum of such salary and bonus pro rated for a 18-month period, or (B) to remain an employee of the Company for a
period (as determined by Employee) of up to 18 months following the date notice of termination is given by Employee pursuant to Section 5(a), in which case Employee shall be relieved of his or her management position with the Company and his or
her duties hereunder, and shall (i) continue to receive both salary, based on a rate equal to his or her annual rate in effect on the date of termination of employment or immediately prior to the Change in Control, whichever is greater, and
annual bonus in respect of such period (in each case payable within 30 days after the end of the respective calendar year and prorated for any portion of a year), each such bonus to be based on an amount equal to Employee’s then applicable
target bonus amount or the Employee’s applicable target bonus amount in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, whichever is greater, and (ii) receive a discounted lump sum payment pursuant to Section 5(b)(A)(y) for any

or notifies the Company in writing of his or her intention to terminate his or her employment during such period, Employee shall cease to be an employee of the Company effective upon the commencement of such employment or the effective date of such
termination as specified by Employee in such notice, and shall be entitled to receive, subject to the terms thereof, all benefits due to Employee under the provisions of any Benefit Plan and a discounted lump sum cash payment for the balance of the
salary and bonus Employee would have been entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5(b)(B) had Employee remained on the Company’s payroll until the end of the Initial Term or such 18 month period whichever is greater, provided,
further, however, that Employee shall not be entitled to receive any such lump sum cash payment if he or she accepts full-time employment with any subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Affiliate” shall mean an Entity which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, the Company or Time Warner Inc (“TWI”).

the date of termination of employment or the date Employee is eligible to receive health benefits by virtue of other employment, Employee shall receive continued eligibility and enrollment (including family coverage, if any), without a premium
charge therefor, in hospital, medical and dental insurance plans providing substantially equivalent benefit coverage to those plans in which Employee was enrolled immediately prior to the Change in Control unless waived in writing by Employee (or,
in the event such coverage cannot be provided, substantially similar benefits). 
 Any lump sum payments required to be made pursuant to
this Section 5(b) shall be discounted to present value from the times at which such amounts would have been paid absent any such termination at an annual discount rate for the relevant period equal to the “applicable Federal rate”
(within the meaning of Section 1274(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”)), compounded semi-annually, in effect on the date of such termination, the use of which rate is hereby elected by the Company and Employee
pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.28OG- I Q/A32 (provided that in the event such election is not permitted, such other rate determined as of such other date as is applicable for determining present value under Section 28OG of the Code shall be
used). 
 6. Termination by Company. 
 (a) For Cause. Provided that notice of termination has not previously been given under any other Section hereof, the Company shall have the right to terminate Employee’s employment for cause upon written
notice to Employee at any time. In such event, Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate immediately and Employee shall be entitled to receive (i) any earned and unpaid salary accrued through the date of such termination, and
(ii) subject to the terms thereof, any benefits which may be due to Employee under the provisions of any Benefit Plan. Employee hereby disclaims any right to receive a pro rata portion of his or her annual bonus with respect to the year in
which such termination occurs. For purposes hereof, “cause” shall mean termination by action of the Company’s Board of Directors or any committee thereof because of Employee’s conviction (treating a nolo & contendere
plea as a conviction) of a felony (whether or not any right to appeal has been exercised) or willful refusal without proper cause to perform his or her obligations under this Agreement or because of Employee’s material breach of the covenants
provided for in Sections 10, 11 and 12 of this Agreement. In the event (i) such termination is because of the Employee’s willful refusal without proper cause to perform any one or more of his obligations under this Agreement (ii) such
notice is the first such notice of termination for any reason delivered by the Company to the Employee under this Section 6(a), and (iii) within I 0 days following the date of such notice the Employee shall cease his or her refusal and
shall use his or her best efforts to perform such obligations, the termination shall not be effective. 
 (b) Other. Provided that notice of
termination has not previously been given under any other Section hereof, the Company shall have the right at any time to terminate Employee’s employment under this Agreement without cause, by giving written notice thereof to Employee.

  

 4 

 (i) If such notice is so given to Employee, Employee shall be entitled to receive subject to the terms
thereof, all benefits which may be due to Employee under the provisions of any Benefit Plan and to elect, within 30 days after receiving such notice, to receive either a lump sum severance payment in the amount, and upon the terms and conditions,
provided in Section 5(b)(A) and calculated as set forth in the last paragraph of Section 5(b), or to remain an employee of the Company upon the terms and conditions provided in Section 5(b)(B); provided, however, that
(i) any reference therein to Section 5(a) shall be deemed for purposes of this Section 6(b) to be a reference to this Section 6(b)(i), and (ii) if a Change in Control has not occurred, then (x) Employee’s salary
shall be determined with reference to his or her then current annual salary and (y) Employee’s annual bonus shall equal at least the Employee’s target amount immediately prior to Employee’s termination under this
Section 6(b)(i). 
 (ii) For the period beginning when Employee receives notice of termination from the Company pursuant to this
Section 6(b), and ending six months thereafter, Employee will, without charge to Employee, have use of reasonable office space and reasonable office Facilities at Employee’s principal job location immediately prior to his or her
termination of employment, or other location reasonably close to such location, together with reasonable secretarial services in each case appropriate to an employee of Employee’s position and responsibilities prior to such termination of
employment but taking into account Employee’s reduced need for such office space and secretarial services. Employee will continue to be eligible to participate in the Company’s Benefit Plans and to receive, subject to the terms thereof,
all benefits, which are received by other employees at Employee’s level thereunder other than options or similar equity-based or incentive awards. 
 (iii) In the event that Employee’s employment is terminated prior to the occurrence of a Change in Control, or more than three years following a Change in Control, then, in partial consideration for the
Company’s obligation to make the payments described in this Section 6(b), Employee shall execute and deliver to the Company a release in the form as set forth in Exhibit A. The Company shall deliver such release to Employee at the time the
Company delivers notice of termination pursuant to this Section 6(b). Employee shall execute and deliver such release to the General Counsel of the Company within 21 days of receipt of notice of termination. If Employee shall fail to execute
and deliver to the Company such release within 30 days of Employee’s receipt thereof from the Company, Employee’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective at the end of such 30-day period and Employee shall receive, in lieu of
the severance arrangements described in Section 6(b), a lump sum cash payment in an amount determined in accordance with the personnel policies of the Company then applicable. 
 7. Death; Disability. 
 (a)
Death. If Employee shall die while employed by the Company, Employee’s employment under this Agreement shall thereupon terminate and Employee’s estate or beneficiaries, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive as
promptly as practicable 

  

 5 

 
but in any event within 30 days after reasonably satisfactory evidence of Employee’s death is received by the Company (i) any earned and unpaid
salary accrued to Employee through the period ending 30 days following the date of Employee’s death and a pro rata portion of the target annual bonus amount in effect immediately prior to Employee’s death; and (ii) subject to the

insurance plan and is unable to perform to perform all or substantially all the duties to be rendered hereunder and such failure continues for a period in excess of 12 consecutive weeks, the Company may terminate the employment of Employee under
this Agreement upon written notice to Employee at any time and thereupon Employee shall be entitled to receive (i) any earned and unpaid salary accrued through the date of such termination; (ii) subject to the terms thereof, any benefits
which may be due to Employee under the provisions of any Benefit Plan; and (iii) a lump sum cash payment equal to the sum of 75% of Employee’s then current annual salary and then applicable target annual bonus amount prorated for a
18-month period, less the amount of any disability insurance proceeds payable to Employee under any disability insurance policy or program covering Employee. 
 8. Stock Options and Other Incentive Awards. Upon Employee’s termination of employment with the Company for any reason, Employee’s rights to benefits and payments under any stock options,
restricted shares or other incentive plans shall be determined in accordance with the terms and provisions of such plans and any agreements under which such stock options, restricted shares or other awards were granted. 
 9. Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Change in Control” of the Company shall be deemed to have occurred at
such time as the Founding Stockholders (and their respective affiliates) as a group cease to have the ability to elect a majority of the directors on the Board of Directors of the Company (other than the chief executive officer of the Company and
independent directors; provided that independent directors shall be included in calculating whether the foregoing majority requirement is satisfied if the directors nominated by the Founding Stockholders (and their respective affiliates) do not
constitute a majority of the committee that selects the Board of Director’s nominees for independent directors) and a “person” or “group” (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act) (other than the Founding Stockholders and their respective affiliates) has become the ultimate “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 35% of the total
voting power of the voting interests of the Company on a fully diluted basis and such ownership represents a greater percentage of the total voting power of the voting interests of the Company, on a fully diluted basis, than is held by the Founding
Stockholders (and their respective affiliates) as a group on such date.

observe and perform all of such covenants and obligations under the Prime Lease with respect to the Premises as if Tenant were the original tenant thereunder, except as otherwise set forth in this Sublease. Tenant shall not undertake or perform any
action or omission that will cause Landlord to breach any covenant or obligation under the Prime Lease. In those instances under the Prime Lease in which the Prime Landlord thereunder has reserved certain rights with respect to the Premises, or with
respect to the tenant under the Prime Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to exercise all of such rights as against the Premises and Tenant with the same force and effect as if all of such rights of the Prime Landlord, as the Landlord under the Prime
Lease, had been expressly set forth in the provisions of this Sublease. 
 C. In the event of a conflict between the Prime Lease and the
provisions of this Sublease, the applicable provision which is more restrictive on Tenant, or which imposes the greater obligation on Tenant, shall control. 

 Section 2. Term; Possession. 
 A. The term (the “Term”) of this Sublease shall commence fifteen (15) days from the Execution Date (the “Commencement
Date”) and shall expire at midnight on December 31, 2007, unless sooner terminated (the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of this Sublease for an
additional period of five (5) years and three months by providing written notice to Landlord not less than 270 days prior to the expiration of the Term. The rent for the extended term of this Sublease shall be based on the prevailing market
rate for similar property as negotiated by Landlord and Tenant. 
 B. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if the Prime Lease is terminated
prior to expiration of the Term for any reason other than a default caused solely by Landlord or pursuant to agreement between Prime Landlord and Landlord, such termination shall not be a default by Landlord under this Sublease. In the event of any
termination which gives rise to a default by Landlord under this Sublease, Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for all of Tenant’s damages, costs and expenses arising directly from such default, including without limitation the discounted
present value, at the then-effective Prime Rate quoted by major money center banks as published in the Wall Street Journal, of the difference between (i) rent under this Sublease for the balance of the Term and (ii) any resulting
direct lease from Prime Landlord to Tenant plus reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred and arising out of Landlord’s default. In the event Prime Landlord defaults under the terms of the Prime Lease and such default renders all or a
substantial portion of the Premises untenantable, Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant to pursue any remedy available to Landlord under the Prime Lease or otherwise, which cooperation shall be undertaken at Tenant’s expense,
except that Tenant shall be subrogated to Landlord’s rights under the Prime Lease for recoupment of any such expense permitted under the Prime Lease. 
 Section 3. Rent. 
 A. Tenant shall pay to Landlord monthly rent throughout the term, payable in advance in monthly installments due on the first day of each month, in the following amounts (“Rent”): 
  

							
	 Period
	  	Rent per Square Foot	  	Monthly Installment
	 9/15/02 – 12/31/02
	  	$	0.00	  	$	0.00
	 1/1/03 – 9/30/2004
	  	$	18.00	  	$	37,401.00
	 10/1/04 – 9/30/2005
	  	$	19.00	  	$	39,478.83
	 10/1/05 – 9/30/2006
	  	$	20.00	  	$	41,556.67
	 10/1/06 – 12/31/07
	  	$	21.00	  	$	43,634.50

 Contemporaneously with Tenant’s execution of this Sublease, Tenant shall deposit with
Landlord the sum of $37,500.00 as a security deposit (“Security Deposit”). The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord in trust for the benefit of Tenant, provided, however, that Landlord 

  

 -2- 

 
shall have the right to apply the same as provided herein. The Security Deposit shall be considered as a security for the payment and performance by Tenant
of the obligations, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Sublease. Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy or without waiving any other rights, use the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to remedy any default in
the payment of Rent or to satisfy any other obligation of Tenant hereunder. If all or any part of the Security Deposit shall be so applied, Tenant shall, within five (5) days of receipt of written demand from Landlord, restore the Security
Deposit to its full amount. Landlord shall return any remaining Security Deposit to Tenant within a reasonable time after the Expiration Date of this Sublease. 
 B. Tenant shall also be responsible for and will also make payments to Landlord, as additional rent (at the same times that Rent payments are made) for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of all increases in Operating
Expenses for the Landlord’s Space that may be imposed pursuant to Article 5 of the Prime Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall only pay those increases in Operating Expenses that represent an increase over the Operating Expenses for the
calendar year ending December 31, 2003. 
 C. To the extent such items are not included in the Operating Expense amounts to be paid
under the Prime Lease, Tenant shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay as and when due all documented utility use costs, charges and expenses for water, gas, electric, sewer telephone and any other utilities serving the Premises and all costs
necessary to determine the amount of Tenant’s usage, whether charged by the Landlord or the applicable utility. By way of example, Tenant shall be solely and fully responsible for the payment of all costs related to its after-hours usage of
utilities at the Premises or any other usage in excess of the amounts that are included in the Operating Expense amounts allocated to the Premises. 
 Section 4. Utilities; Maintenance and Repair. 
 A. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all
requisite utilities for the Premises are furnished by Prime Landlord, and Tenant shall be responsible for procuring and paying for any and all additional utilities required by Tenant. Landlord will not be liable in any respect for any losses,
damages, liabilities or expenses arising out of the loss or interruption of utilities for the Premises, nor shall the loss or interruption of utilities for the Premises provide Tenant grounds for claiming constructive eviction unless such loss or
interruption of utilities results from any act or neglect of Landlord. Tenant’s sole remedy for disruption or loss of utilities (unless resulting from an act or neglect of Landlord) shall be to perform repairs at Tenant’s expense or to
pursue the Prime Landlord, in which event, Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant (at Tenant’s expense) to cause Prime Landlord to furnish such utilities. 
 B. Tenant shall be responsible for maintaining and keeping in good repair and order the Premises, including, without limitation, all doors, windows, interior walls, ceilings, floors and mechanical systems to the
extent they are located solely within the Premises, as required under the Prime Lease. Except to the extent that such maintenance and repair is the responsibility of the Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease, Landlord shall have no obligations with
respect to the repair and maintenance of the Premises, and shall have no liability to Tenant by reason of Prime Landlord’s failure to perform its repair and maintenance obligations. 
  

 -3- 

 C. Subject to the preceding Section 4B, upon Tenant’s reasonable request, Landlord shall grant
to Tenant the right to seek to directly enforce the observance and/or performance by the Prime Landlord of its obligations under the Prime Lease, including the right to institute and prosecute in good faith any legal action or other proceeding
necessary to cause the Prime Landlord to observe and/or perform its obligations thereunder; and Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to seek to cause the Prime Landlord to observe or perform the obligations Tenant shall have requested be
enforced. In any such instance, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant as may be reasonably requested by Tenant, provided that all costs and liabilities incurred by Landlord in connection with its cooperation, if any, shall be borne by Tenant. Tenant
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against claims made against and losses, costs, damages and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord, in connection with any claim, action or proceeding
instituted or prosecuted by Tenant. 
 Section 5. Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation. 
 A. Tenant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000.00 for any one occurrence, together with an umbrella or excess
coverage policy in an amount of no less than $2,000,000.00. Tenant shall name Landlord and Prime Landlord as additional insured parties thereunder. Such insurance shall contain a clause that the insurer will, not amend, cancel, or allow such
insurance coverage to lapse without first giving Landlord and Prime Landlord thirty (30) days prior notice. Tenant shall also maintain “All-Risk” property insurance on Tenant’s personal property, fixtures, equipment, and
improvements in an amount equal to full replacement value of such items, and any and all additional insurance required by the Prime Lease. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall furnish Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing Tenant’s
compliance with the terms of this Section 5. 
 B. Landlord and Tenant and all parties claiming, by, through or under them, mutually
release and discharge each other from all claims and liabilities arising from or caused by any casualty or hazard covered or required hereunder to be covered in whole or in part by insurance on the Premises or in connection with property on or
activities conducted on the Premises, and waive (and shall cause their insurers to waive) any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof and further agree to evidence such waiver endorsement to the
required insurance policies. 
 Section 6. Indemnity. 
 A. Tenant shall indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against all liability, loss, costs, damages and expenses (including attorney’s fees)
suffered by Landlord as a consequence of (i) any and all acts or omissions by Tenant, Tenant’s agents, independent contractors, employees, and invitees, (ii) Tenant’s breach of or default under (or causing in whole or in part a
breach of or default under) any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Prime Lease or this Sublease, or (iii) any holdover by Tenant beyond the Expiration Date or failure to surrender the Premises in the condition required by the Prime
Lease. 
 B. Landlord shall indemnify and save Tenant harmless from and against all liability, loss, costs, damages and expenses (including
attorney’s fees) suffered by Tenant as a consequence of (i) any and all acts or omissions by Landlord or (ii) Landlord’s breach of or 

  

 -4- 

 
default under (or causing in whole or in part a breach of or default under) any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Prime Lease or this Sublease.

 Section 7. Destruction; Condemnation. 
 In the event of damage to or destruction of the Premises from fire or other casualty loss or condemnation of all or any portion of the Premises, the terms
of the Prime Lease shall govern and Landlord shall be entitled to all rights of the tenant thereunder. In the event that, under the provisions of Section 9 of the Lease, the Prime Landlord does not exercise its right to terminate the Prime
Lease, Landlord may, acting under the provisions of Section 9, either terminate the Sublease by giving notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the damage, and rent shall abate effective on the date of the casualty or condemnation,
or Landlord may choose not to terminate the lease, and rent shall abate pro rata to the extent and duration the Premises are rendered untenantable. 
 Section 8. Assignment and Subletting. 
 A. Tenant shall not pledge, mortgage, assign or in any
way encumber this Sublease, or further sublet the Premises, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which shall be given or withheld at Landlord’s reasonable discretion it being agreed and understood
that Landlord’s failure, in good faith, to obtain the Prime Landlord’s consent to such assignment or subletting shall be reasonable grounds for Landlord’s withholding of consent. Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, of
Landlord’s decision to consent to such assignment or subletting within twenty (20) days of a written request from Tenant. 
 B.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to secure, and Landlord hereby approves, any sublease of all or a portion of the Premises, or any assignment of this Sublease to any “Tenant Affiliate Company” of Tenant;
provided the financial condition of such “Tenant Affiliate Company” of Tenant, or the financial condition of any other person or entity who remains liable for the obligations of Tenant under this Sublease, is the same or better than the
financial condition of Tenant at the time this Sublease ease was executed, or, if applicable, at the time Tenant exercised any expansion option set forth herein. For purposes of this Sublease, the term “Tenant Affiliate Company” shall be
defined as any parent, subsidiary or affiliate company owned by or in common control with Tenant, or any resultant entity that is formed through a merger, buy out, stock transfer or consolidation with Tenant. 
 C. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Sublease and shall not be relieved from performing any of
its obligations hereunder. As a condition to any assignment of this Sublease which is permitted by Landlord, the assignee shall be required to execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement whereby such assignee assumes and agrees with Landlord to
discharge all obligations of Tenant under this Sublease. 
 Section 9. Use. 
 Tenant shall use the Premises in full compliance with the Prime Lease. Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws and codes governing the Premises and
Tenant’s use thereof 

  

 -5- 

 
(including and any and all laws governing environmental contamination). Tenant shall not take any action, or omit to take any action, that would cause or
result in a breach or default under the terms of the Prime Lease. No toxic or hazardous material will be used or stored at the Premises. Tenant shall not commit waste. 
 Section 10. Condition; Alterations; Surrender. 
 A. Tenant shall accept the Premises in its “as is” condition, it being agreed by Tenant that neither Landlord nor any party acting on Landlord’s behalf, has made any representation or warranty with
respect to the condition of the Premises, nor with respect to its fitness or suitability for any particular purpose. 
 B. Tenant shall not
make any alterations or additions to the Premises (including ADA adaptations) without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the provisions of Section 11 of the Prime Lease, Tenant
shall have the right to alter the Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord provided that the cost of such alteration does not exceed $5,000 and so long as the alteration does not materially affect the building systems,
including, but not limited to the buildings electrical, plumbing and HVAC systems. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of such alterations or additions. 
 C. As part of the Premises, Landlord shall provide to Tenant twenty (20) office cubicles previously used by Landlords employees during the course of Landlord’s business operations that shall be used by
Tenant in the course of Tenant’s business operations (the “Cubicles”). The Cubicles shall remain the property of Landlord throughout the term hereof and shall be returned to Landlord at the expiration of the Term (as extended)
in such condition that is substantially similar to that in which the same was provided to Tenant, normal wear and tear excepted. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Cubicles are being provided in accordance with Section 10.A. above and that
Landlord shall have no obligation to maintain or repair the same. 
 D. Upon the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Sublease for
any reason whatsoever, Tenant shall promptly and peaceably surrender the Premises to Landlord broom-clean, in good order and repair, except for reasonable wear and tear. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by the removal of Tenant’s personal
property, fixtures and equipment from the Premises. 
 Section 11. Default by Tenant. 
 A. It shall be an event of Default under this Sublease if Tenant: 
 (1) Performs any act or omission that places Landlord in breach of its Prime Lease with Prime Landlord 
 (2) Does not pay Rent or any other charge payable by Tenant under this Sublease within ten (10) days after due; or 
  

 -6- 

 (3) Fails to cure any other default under this Sublease within ten (10) days after
Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such default (provided that for defaults not involving the failure to pay Rent that cannot be cured within ten (10) days, it shall not constitute a default so long as Tenant commences such cure within ten
(10) days and prosecutes it diligently to completion), then Landlord shall have, the right by notice to Tenant, to terminate this Sublease, or to terminate only Tenant’s right to possession without terminating this Sublease. 
 B. Should Landlord elect to terminate this Sublease pursuant to the provisions of subsection (A) above, Landlord may pursue all remedies available
at law and equity, including, without limitation, recovering any unpaid rent and other charges which had been earned at the time of termination, and any and all other damages resulting from Tenant’s default. If Landlord elects to terminate
Tenant’s right of possession without terminating the Sublease, Landlord shall be entitled to all remedies specified above in this Section 11(B), and to collect all rent outstanding from the date of default until the Expiration Date.

 Section 12. Signage. 
 At Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and subject to the provisions of Section 41 of the Prime Lease and subject to the consent of Prime Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to install such signage as is
permitted by the Prime Lease. The installation of such signage shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Prior to the installation of any signage by Tenant, Landlord shall remove, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, any existing signage
that Landlord has installed pursuant to its’ rights under Section 41 of the Prime Lease. 
 Section 13.

 Subject to the provisions of Section 40 of the Prime Lease, Tenant shall have the right to use a total of five
(5) parking spaces in the parking areas designated by Prime Landlord for use by tenants of the Premises for each 1,000 rentable square feet of space in the Premises. As part of the total parking spaces allocated to Tenant pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall be entitled to the use of one (1) parking space in the covered parking area serving the Premises for each 3,400 rentable square feet of space in the Premises. Landlord may charge Tenant for the use
of any covered spaces at a rate of $35.00 per month per parking space. In the event that Landlord’s cost of providing covered parking increases due to provisions of Section 40 of the Prime Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to pay to
Landlord the amount of any such increase. All parking spaces provided herein shall be unreserved and undesignated. All parking spaces shall be available to Tenant only to the extent they are available to Landlord under the Prime Lease and Tenant
shall have no right to such spaces other than or greater than the rights to such spaces than afforded to Landlord. Tenant shall comply with all parking regulations and requirements of Prime Landlord and Landlord. 
 Section 14. Right of First Refusal. 
 Provided Tenant is not and has not been in default hereunder, Tenant shall have the ongoing right of first opportunity to lease any portion of the Landlord’s Space that is contiguous to the Premises (the
“Adjacent Space”) as hereinafter described. The “Adjacent Space” shall 

  

 -7- 

 
include that portion of the Landlord’s Space located on the first floor of the Building. Before Landlord offers for lease all or a portion of the
Adjacent Space to another prospective subtenant, it shall offer the space to Tenant for sublease by notice to Tenant, which notice shall contain the terms and conditions on which Landlord is prepared to market the space to other tenants
(“Landlord’s Notice”). Tenant shall have ten (10) days to lease the offered space on the same terms and conditions as set forth in Landlord’s notice of availability by written notice to Landlord. If Tenant elects to
proceed by providing notice to Landlord, Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Sublease which is satisfactory to Landlord which adds the Additional Space within ninety (90) days of Landlord’s delivery of the amendment to Tenant. If
Tenant does not elect to proceed, or if Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s election to proceed within the requisite period set forth above, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived Tenant’s rights with respect to the transaction
referenced in Landlord’s Notice. 
 Section 15. American’s with Disabilities Act. 
 Landlord hereby represents and warrants that to the best of Landlord’s actual knowledge, Landlord has committed no act that would cause the Premises
to be non-compliant with the American’s with Disabilities Act. 
 Section 16. Legal Expenses. 
 In case suit shall be brought-because of the breach of any agreement or obligation contained in this Sublease on the part of Tenant or Landlord to be kept
or performed, and a breach shall be established, the prevailing party shall (to the extent permitted by law) be entitled to recover all expenses incurred therefor, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
