and reasonably believed to exist, that may be relevant and material to the outcome of disputed issues. There shall be no depositions.

 

(f) By agreeing to arbitration,
the parties do not intend to deprive any court of its jurisdiction to issue a pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral attachment,
or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of any award. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies
as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitrator shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and
to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and
to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitrator’s orders to that effect. In any such judicial action:

state courts located in New York (the “New York Courts”) for the purpose of any pre-arbitral injunction, pre-arbitral
attachment, or other order in aid of arbitration proceedings, and to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts for the enforcement
of any judgment on any award; (ii) each of the parties irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so,

to jurisdiction on account of its place of incorporation or domicile, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any
such action or proceeding in any New York Courts; (iii) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by
first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; and (iv) each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives
any and all right to trial by jury.

or violation shall not affect the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect and be
binding upon the Parties hereto. The Parties will use their best efforts to agree upon any changes in this Agreement which may
be necessary in order to adjust its remaining provisions with regard to the omission of any invalid clause in order to make this

In the event that any unauthorized storage shall occur then Sublessor shall have the right, without notice, in addition to such other rights and remedies that it may have, to remove the property and charge the cost to Sublessee, which cost shall be immediately payable upon demand by Sublessor.

3. Possession.

3.1 Early Possession. Any provision herein granting Sublessee Early Possession of the Premises is subject to and conditioned upon the Premises being available for such possession prior to the Commencement Date. Any grant of Early Possession only conveys a non-exclusive right to occupy the Premises. If Sublessee totally or partially occupies the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, the obligation to pay Base Rent shall be abated for the period of such Early Possession. All other terms of this Sublease (including but not limited to the obligations to pay Sublessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses, Real Property Taxes and insurance premiums and to maintain the Premises) shall, however, be in effect during such period. Any such Early Possession shall not affect the Expiration Date.

Further, if Sublessee is required to perform any other conditions prior to or concurrent 

with the Start Date, the Start Date shall occur but Sublessor may elect to withhold possession until such conditions are satisfied.

 

4. Rent and Other Charges.

4.1 Rent Defined. All monetary obligations of Sublessee to Sublessor under the terms of this Sublease (except for the Security Deposit) are deemed to be rent ("Rent"). Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States to Sublessor at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other places as Sublessor may designate in writing.

4.2 Common Area Operating Expenses. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor during the term hereof, in addition to the Base Rent, Sublessee's Share of all Common Area Operating Expenses, as hereinafter defined, during each calendar year of the term of this Sublease, in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) "Common Area Operating Expenses" are defined, for purposes of this Sublease, as those costs incurred by Sublessor relating to the operation of the Project, which are included in the following list:

(i) Costs related to the operation, repair and maintenance, in neat, clean, good order and condition, but not the replacement of the following:

(aa) The Common Areas and Common Area improvements, including parking areas, loading and unloading areas, trash areas, roadways,   parkways, walkways, driveways, landscaped areas, bumpers, irrigation systems, Common Area lighting facilities, fences and gates, elevators, roofs, and roof drainage systems.

(bb) Exterior signs and any tenant directories.

(cc) Any fire sprinkler systems.

(ii) The cost of water, gas, electricity and telephone to service the Common Areas and any utilities not separately metered.

(iii) The cost of trash disposal, pest control services, property management, security services, and the costs of any environmental inspections.

(iv) Reserves set aside for maintenance and repair of Common Areas.

(v) Real Property Taxes.

(vi) Insurance premiums.

(vii) Any deductible portion of an insured loss concerning the Building or the Common Areas.

(b) The inclusion of the improvements, facilities and services set forth in Subparagraph 4.2(a) shall not be deemed to impose an obligation upon Sublessor to either have said improvements or facilities or to provide those services unless Sublessor already provides the services, or Sublessor has agreed elsewhere in this Sublease to provide the same or some of them.

(c) Sublessee's Share of Common Area Operating Expenses is payable monthly on the same day as the Base Rent is due hereunder. The amount of such payments shall be based on Sublessor's estimate of the Common Area Operating Expenses. Within 60 days after written request (but not more than once each year) Sublessor shall deliver to Sublessee a reasonably detailed statement showing Sublessee's Share of the actual Common Area Operating Expenses incurred during the preceding year. If Sublessee's payments under this Paragraph 4.2(c) during the preceding year exceed Sublessee's Share as indicated on such statement, Sublessor shall credit the amount of such overpayment against Sublessee's Share of Common Area Operating 

Expenses next becoming due. If Sublessee's payments under this Paragraph 4.2(c) during the preceding year were less than Sublessee's Share as indicated on such statement, Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor the amount of the deficiency within 10 days after delivery by Sublessor to Sublessee of the statement.

4.3 Utilities. Sublessee shall pay for all water, gas, heat, light, power, telephone, trash disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Premises, together with any taxes thereon.

5. Security Deposit. The rights and obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee as to said Security Deposit shall be as set forth in Paragraph 5 of the Master Lease (as modified by Paragraph 6.3 of this Sublease).

6.2 This Sublease is and shall be at all times subject and subordinate to the Master Lease and original Sublease.
