(b)    The rights and obligations contained in the Overlease are, during the term of this Sublease, hereby imposed upon the respective parties hereto, Sublandlord being substituted for the landlord under the Overlease and Subtenant being substituted for the tenant under the Overlease;provided,however, that Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant for any failure in performance resulting from the failure in performance by Overlandlord under the Overlease and Sublandlord’s obligations hereunder are accordingly conditional where such obligations require such parallel performance by Overlandlord.

3

Subtenant or other reduction, abatement or adjustment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, Sublandlord shall not be responsible for furnishing elevator, electric, HVAC, cleaning, painting, window washing or other services, nor for any maintenance or repairs in or to the Building or the Sublease Premises, but shall use its reasonable efforts in accordance with the terms and conditions of the immediately preceding sentence to enforce its rights pursuant to the Overlease for the benefit of Subtenant upon Subtenant’s written request. In addition to the foregoing, no such failure or default on the part of Overlandlord shall constitute an actual or constructive total or partial eviction of Subtenant or entitle Subtenant to a reduction or abatement of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent hereunder.

(c)    Notwithstanding the generality of clause (a) above, for the purposes of incorporation of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in the Overlease herein, the term “Tenant” in the Overlease shall mean and refer to Subtenant hereunder; the term “Landlord” in the Overlease shall mean and refer to Sublandlord hereunder; the term “the Premises” in the Overlease shall mean and refer to the Sublease Premises hereunder; the terms “Base Rent” and “Additional Rent” in the Overlease shall mean and refer to the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent respectively, hereunder; the term “this Lease” in the Overlease shall mean and refer to this Sublease; the term “Commencement Date” in the Overlease shall mean and refer to the Commencement Date hereunder.

Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against all claims, penalties and actualout-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, based upon any default by Subtenant, during the term hereof, in Subtenant’s performance of those terms, covenants and conditions of the Overlease which are or shall be applicable to Subtenant, as above provided, except to the extent such default results from Sublandlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord as Additional Rent hereunder any and all sums which Sublandlord is required to pay to Overlandlord, which requirement is caused in whole or in part by Subtenant’s failure to perform or observe any of the terms or conditions of the Overlease pertaining to the Sublease Premises that Subtenant is required to perform or observe or by any act or omission described in the preceding sentence. Sublandlord represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, it is in compliance in all material respects with the terms, covenants and conditions of the Overlease pertaining to the Sublease Premises, specifically including but not limited to Sections 43 and 44 of the Overlease. Sublandlord represents and warrants that as of the date hereof, Sublandlord’s occupancy of the Overlease Premises is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws.

(c)    If this Sublease is assigned in contravention of this Sublease or the Overlease, or if the Sublease Premises or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Subtenant, Sublandlord may, after default by Subtenant, collect Fixed Rent and Additional Rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be deemed a waiver of the covenants in this Section 8, nor shall it be deemed acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as a tenant, or a release of Subtenant from the full performance of all the terms, conditions and covenants of this Sublease.

9.    Performance of Overlease. (a) The respective terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Overlease on the part of Overlandlord to be performed, which have been incorporated herein by reference or as covenants and obligations of Sublandlord hereunder, are to be performed by Overlandlord or its successors and assigns, Subtenant shall look solely to Overlandlord for such performance. Sublandlord shall not be liable or responsible to Subtenant for any failure or default on the part of Overlandlord, its successors or assigns, with respect to any of the terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of the Overlease.

(b)    If Subtenant shall default in the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent hereunder or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Sublease or the Overlease on the part of Subtenant to be performed or observed, either directly or as incorporated herein, Sublandlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise all of the same rights and remedies provided to or reserved by Overlandlord in the Overlease and at law and equity;providedhowever, the foregoing shall in no way be deemed to

7

Without limiting the foregoing, Sublandlord shall have the same rights and remedies in the event ofnon-payment by Subtenant of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent under this Sublease as are available to Overlandlord under the Overlease and at law and in equity for the non-payment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and/or of any installment thereof.

(c)    Subtenant shall, within three (3) days after receipt thereof, notify Sublandlord of any notice applicable to the Sublease Premises served by Overlandlord upon Subtenant pursuant to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Overlease. Wherever Overlandlord requires Sublandlord, as tenant under the Overlease (except in respect of any Excluded Provision), to take any action or to cure any default applicable to the Sublease Premises within a period of time stated therein or in the Overlease, Subtenant shall complete such action or cure such default not later than five (5) days prior to the expiration of such period and shall immediately furnish notice of such compliance to Sublandlord. Wherever in the Overlease Overlandlord is required to consent to or approve any matter within a set time period, the Overlease as incorporated herein shall be deemed to have five (5) Business Days added to such time period.

10.    Electrical System Maintenance. Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall be responsible for any repair, maintenance and replacement of any electric meter, panel board and all wires, wiring, feeders and risers serving the Sublease Premises, and Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord’s reasonable charges therefor on demand. Subtenant covenants that at no time shall the use of electrical energy in the Sublease Premises exceed the capacity of the existing feeders or wiring installations then serving the Sublease Premises. Subtenant shall not make or perform, or permit the making or performance of, any alterations to wiring installations or other electrical facilities in or serving the Sublease Premises or any additions to the business machines, office equipment or other appliances (other than customary low energy consuming office machines) in the Sublease Premises that utilize electrical energy, without the prior consent of Sublandlord in each instance.

11.    Brokerage. Each of Subtenant and Sublandlord covenants, warrants and represents that it has dealt with no broker or agent and that no other broker, agent, finder or other consultant was instrumental in bringing about or consummating this Sublease, and that it has not had any conversations or negotiations with any broker, agent, finder or other consultant concerning the leasing of the Sublease Premises. Each party agrees to indemnify, pay, defend and hold harmless the other party against any and all claims, actualout-of-pocket costs, expenses or liabilities for any compensation, charges, brokerage commissions or finder’s fees by brokers, agents or persons claiming to have dealt through or with such party in connection with the leasing of the Sublease Premises and all actualout-of-pocket costs, expenses and liabilities, incurred in connection with such claims, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

12.    Assignment of Overlease. The term “Sublandlord” as used in this Sublease means only the tenant under the Overlease at the time in question, so that in the event the Overlease is assigned by tenant thereunder, the assignor shall thereupon be released and discharged from all covenants, conditions and agreements of Sublandlord hereunder accruing from and after the date of such assignment, but such covenants, conditions and agreements shall be binding on the assignee until thereafter assigned.

8

13.    Damage, Destruction and Other Casualty; Condemnation. If the Sublease Premises or any portion thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or be condemned or taken in any manner for a public or quasi-public use, Subtenant agrees that it shall be the obligation of the Overlandlord, if any, and not of Sublandlord to repair, restore or rebuild the Sublease Premises in accordance with the terms of the Overlease. In the event of such casualty or condemnation, this Sublease shall continue in full force and effect, unless in connection therewith Overlandlord or Sublandlord terminates the Overlease pursuant to the provisions thereof. Pending restoration of any damage caused by such casualty or taking, Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder shall not be abated or apportioned in any manner; provided, however, that if the rent payable by the Sublandlord under the Overlease shall be abated pursuant to the terms of the Overlease, Subtenant’s Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, as applicable, shall be abated hereunder if, and only to the extent that, the abatement affects the Sublease Premises. In the event of a condemnation or taking, Subtenant hereby acknowledges that it shall not be entitled to any portion of any award received by Sublandlord with respect to the Overlease, this Sublease or the Sublease Premises. The parties agree that this Section 13 constitutes an express agreement governing any case of damage or destruction of the Sublease Premises or the Building by fire or other casualty and Section 227 of the New York Real Property Law and any other law of like import now or hereafter in force shall have no application.

A., or its successor entity, plus four percent (4%) (the“Overdue Rate”) from the date such payment was due and such interest shall be due and payable on demand.
