Exhibit 10.17 SUBLEASE AGREEMENT THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (this "Sublease") is entered into as of May 19, 2000, by and between DAMES & MOORE, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Sublessor"), and SOMERA COMMUNICATIONS, INC., a Delaware Corporation ("Subtenant"). RECITALS A. Sublessor is the tenant under that certain Lease dated December 1, 1995, as amended by First Amendment to Lease dated January 30, 1996 and First Amendment to Net, Net, Net Lease effective as of February 1, 1999, wherein Santa Barbara Corporate Center, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Landlord") leased to Sublessor certain premises described as 5383 Hollister Avenue in the unincopotared area of Santa Barbara County, California (the "Master Premises") in the building known as GRCI Building (the "Building"). Said Lease as amended prior to the date hereof is herein referred to as the "Master Lease" and is attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof. B. Subtenant desires to sublease from Sublessor, and Sublessor is willing to sublease to Subtenant, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, including without limitation, Section 1 of this Sublease, all of the Master Premises known herein as the "Sublease Premises" consisting of Suite 120, containing approximately Eight Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-Six (8,696) rentable square feet as delineated on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit B and hereby made a part hereof; provided, however, upon the Commencement Date, Sublessor shall deliver to Subtenant only that certain portion of the Premises consisting of approximately Two Thousand One Hundred Thirty Two (2,132) rentable square feet as delineated on the floor plan attached hereto as Exhibit D and hereby made a part hereof (the "Partial Premises"). NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions herein contained, Sublessor and Subtenant (together, the "Parties" and each sometimes a "Party") hereby agree and covenant with each other as follows: 1. Demise of Sublease Premises. (a) Sublessor shall sublease and demise to Subtenant, and Subtenant shall hire and accept from Sublessor, the Sublease Premises on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Sublease; provided, however, upon the Commencement Date, Sublessor shall deliver to Subtenant only the Partial Premises and the remainder of the "Sublease Premises" ("Remainder Premises") shall be delivered on or before October 1, 2000. The term "Sublease Premises", as used in this Sublease, shall mean and refer only to the Partial Premises until Sublessor delivers the Remainder Premises to Subtenant in which case, upon such delivery of the Remainder Premises, Subtenant shall be obligated to sublease all of the Sublease Premises and the term "Sublease Premises" shall mean and refer to all of the Sublease Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1, if Sublessor does not so tender possession to Subtenant of the Remainder Premises (without any tenant improvements being made therto) by January 1, 2001 (The "Outside Date"), then as Subtenant's sole and exclusive remedy against Sublessor for Sublessor's failure to deliver and/or delay in the delivery of the Remainder Premises, Subtenant may terminate this Sublease by delivering written notice therof to Sublessor at any time after the Outside Date, but prior to Sublessor's tender of possession of the Remainder Premises. If Subtenant fails to deliver such termination notice, or if Sublessor tenders to Subtenant possession of the Sublease Premises (without any tenant improvements being made thereto) at any time earlier than the expiration of ten (10) business days following receipt of Subtenant's termination notice, then upon the occurrence of any such events the foregoing right given to Subtenant to terminate this Sublease as provided herein shall lapse and be null and void and the Sublease shall remain in full force and effect with Subtenant having no further right to terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provision. If Sublessor does so timely deliver to Subtenant possession of the Sublease Premises (without any tenant improvements being made thereto), Subtenant shall promptly deliver written notice to Sublessor confirming same (however, any failure by Subtenant to so notify Sublessor shall not affect the enforceability of this Sublease). (b) In consideration of the obligations contained in this Sublease, Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor, upon the full possession of the Sublease Premises (including the Remainder Premises), a moving reimbursement fee in an amount equal to $50,000 or such lesser amount, if any, as Sublessor pays to NanoMotion pursuant to a separate agreement between Sublessor and NanoMotion ("Moving Fee"); provided, however, that such Moving Fee shall not be owed to Sublessor if possession of the Remainder Premises are tendered to Sublessee after October 1, 2000. Furthermore, Sublessor shall have the right to increase said amount to a total of $150,000 by requesting an additional amount up to $100,000 within thirty (30) days after Sublessor's delivery of possession of the Remainder Premises, which $100,000 shall be amortized over 36 months at a fixed rate of interest equal to 8% per annum and credited back to Sublessee as a partial rent credit spread evenly over the 36 month period commencing on the first (1st) day of the calendar month following deliver of the $100,000. For example, in the event Sublessor receives $100,000 from Subtenant, the monthly credit due to Subtenant shall be $3,133.64 each month for a period of 36 months. Subtenant shall pay such $100,000 to Sublessor within ten (10) days after Sublessor's written request therefore. The payment by Subtenant of the Moving Fee and $100,000 referred to above shall constitute "Rent" under this Sublease. 2. Term. The term of this Sublease shall commence upon Sublease execution, or the date upon which Landlord consents to this Sublease (if such consent is required under the Master Lease), whichever shall last occur (the "Commencement Date"), and shall end on February 14, 2004 (the "Term") unless sooner terminated, or extended, as provided herein. If Landlord's consent to this Sublease is required under the Master Lease and (i) Landlord for any reason disapproves this Sublease, this Sublease shall be of no further force and effect; and (ii) if Landlord fails to give such consent by May 19, 2000, either Party may then cancel this Sublease by giving written notice of cancellation to the other Party before such consent is actually received. Neither Party shall have liability to the other for any termination or cancellation under this Section 2, unless such Party by its willful act caused Landlord to refuse timely consent to this Sublease. 3. Rent and Security Deposit. (a) Base Rent. Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor upon execution of the Sublease the sum of Three Thousand One Hundred Fifty Three and 66/100 Dollars ($3,153.66) as rent ("Base Rent") for the first (1st) month of the Term and Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor such Base Rent, each month, in advance on the first (1st) day of each month of the Term without offset, deduction or counterclaim; provided, upon Sublessor's tender of possession of the Remainder Premises to Subtenant, Base Rent shall increase to and Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor without offset, deduction or counterclaim, Twelve Thousand Eight Hundred Sixty Three and 14/100 Dollars ($12,863.14) per month in advance on the first (1st) day of each month of the Term after such tender of possession of the Remainder Premises. Subtenant shall receive a credit (as set forth in Section 1 (b) above) against monthly Base Rent in the event Subtenant pays to Sublessor the $100,000 referenced in Section 1 (b) above. In the event of a partial rent month, the Rent will be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month. (b) Additional Rent. In addition to Base Rent, Subtenant shall pay to Sublessor as Additional Rent ("Additional Rent") 100% (if all the Sublease Premises is then subleased to Subtenant) or 24.5% (if only the Partial Premises is then subleased to Subtenant) of all operating expenses, taxes and assessments payable by Sublessor under the Lease ("Operating Expenses") and any other charges assessed against the Sublease Premises under the Master Lease or this Sublease. The Base Rent and Additional Rent may sometimes be referred to herein collectively as the "Rent." (c) Method of Payment. All Rent shall be paid to Sublessor in lawful money of the United States, at the address specified for notices in Section 22 below (or such other place as Sublessor may designate by written notice to Subtenant from time to time), and shall be payable without requirement of notice or demand thereof and without any rights of setoff or deduction whatsoever. (d) Escalation. Subtenant's base rent shall be adjusted per paragraph 3.5 of the Master Lease. (e) Late Charges. The Parties agree that late payments of Rent by Subtenant to Sublessor will cause Sublessor to incur costs not contemplated by this Sublease, the amount of which is extremely difficult to ascertain. Therefore the Parties agree that if any installment of Rent is not received by Sublessor within five (5) days after due, Subtenant will pay to Sublessor a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the late payment. Interest on any amounts payable by Subtenant under this Sublease shall accrue at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date delinquent until paid in full. (f) Rent Defined. As used herein, the term "Rent" shall mean Base Rent and the Additional Rent (including, without limitation, Subtenant's share of the Operating Expenses). (g) Free Rent; No Tenant Improvement Allowance. During the first thirty (30) days following delivery by Sublessor of the (i) Partial Premises, Base Rent applicable to the Partial Premises shall be forgiven and (ii) Remainder Premises, Base Rent applicable to the Remainder Premises shall be forgiven. Sublessor shall provide no tenant improvement allowance to Subtenant under this Sublease. 4. Master Lease. (a) Incorporation by Reference; Assumption.

In addition, Section 7.6, the second paragraph of Section 7.7 and Seciton 6.1 of the Master Lease are incorporated into this Sublease except in no event or circumstance shall Sublessor (i) be obligated to perform any of Landlord's obligations under Sections 6.1 or 7.6 or (ii) indemnify Subtenant (as Landlord indemnifies Sublessor, as "Lessee") under the second paragraph of Section 7.7 of the Master Lease and Sublessor shall have no obligation or liability to indemnify Subtenant except to the extent expressly set forth in this Sublease. Section 17.29 of the Master Lease shall not be applicable unless and until Subtenant ceases to be a publicly held company. Where applicable, references in the Master Lease to Landlord will mean Sublessor and to Lessee will mean Subtenant (for examply, Sublessor shall not be obligated to repair damage or destruction of the Premises or Building under Section 8 of the Master Lease). If any provisions of this Sublease conflict with any portion of the Master Lease as incorporated herein, the terms of this Sublease will govern. (b) Assumption of Lease Obligations. Subtenant will assume and perform Sublessor's obligations as lessee under the Master Lease during the Sublease Term to the extent such obligations are applicable to the Sublease Premises.

Sublessor does not assume any of the obligations of the Landlord under the Master Lease, including without limitation, the requirement to carry insurance under Section 7.6 of the Master Lease or to perform Landlord's maintenance, repair and alteration obligations under Section 6.1 of the Master Lease. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublessor's obligation to perform services, provide utilities, make repairs and carry insurance shall be satisfied only to the extent that the Landlord under the Master Lease satisfies those same obligations. With respect to the performance by Landlord of its obligations under the Master Lease, Sublessor's sole obligation with respect thereto will be to request the same, on request in writing by Subtenant, and to use reasonable efforts to obtain the same from Landlord; provided, however, Sublessor will have no obligation to institute legal action against Landlord. (d) Performance Directly to Landlord. At any time and on reasonable prior notice to Subtenant, Sublessor can elect to require Subtenant to perform its obligations under this Sublease directly to Landlord, in which event Subtenant will send to Sublessor from time to time copies of all notices and other communications it will send to and receive from Landlord. (e) Landlord Defaults; Consents. Notwithstanding any provision of this Sublease to the contrary, (a) Sublessor will not be liable or responsible in any way for any loss, damage, cost, expense, obligation or liability suffered by Subtenant by reason of or as the result of any breach, default or failure to perform by the Landlord under the Master Lease, and (b) whenever the consent or approval of Sublessor and Landlord is required for a particular act, event or transaction (i) any such consent or approval by Sublessor will be subject to the consent or approval of Landlord, and (ii) should Landlord refuse to grant such consent or approval, under all circumstances, Sublessor will be released from any obligation to grant its consent or approval. (f) Termination of Master Lease. If the Master Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, this Sublease will terminate simultaneously and any unearned Rent paid in advance by Subtenant shall be refunded to Subtenant. 5. Maintenance and Repairs. At all times during the Sublease Term, Subtenant, at its sole cost, will maintain the Sublease Premises and every part thereof and all equipment, fixtures and improvements therein in good condition and repair in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease.

Alterations. (1) Alterations and Improvements by Subtenant.

(2) Disposition on Termination. Upon the expiration of the Sublease Term or earlier termination of this Sublease, Sublessor may elect to have Subtenant either (i) surrender with the Sublease Premises any or all of the Alterations as Sublessor may determine (except personal property as provided in Section 10 below), which Alterations will become the property of Sublessor, or (ii) promptly remove any or all of the Alterations designated by Sublessor to be removed, in which case Subtenant must, at Subtenant's sole cost, repair and restore the Sublease Premises to its condition as of the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. 10.

Subtenant further agrees that, in the event Subtenant subleases all or any portion of the Sublease Premises, Subtenant will indemnify and defend Sublessor for, from and against any matters which arise as a result of Subtenant's failure to disclose any relevant information about the Building or the Sublease Premises to any employee, agent, subtenant or assignee.

Remedies for Subtenant Default. Upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default (and until cure of such default has been tendered by Subtenant and accepted by Sublessor), Sublessor shall have the following rights and remedies: (a) The right to terminate this Sublease and the interest and estate granted in the Sublease Premises hereby, by giving Tenant written notice of such termination (which shall be effective upon the later of the receipt of such notice or the date and time of termination specified therein). (b) In the event Sublessor elects to terminate this Sublease, the right to recover from Subtenant: (1) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid rent earned at the date of such termination, (2) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have earned after the date of such termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, (3) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would have been earned for the balance of the Sublease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Subtenant proves could have been reasonably avoided, and (4) Any other amount necessary to compensate Sublessor for all of the detriment proximately caused by Subtenant's failure to observe or perform any of its obligations under this Sublease or which in the ordinary course of events would be likely to result therefrom, including, without limitation, expenses incurred in re-entering and taking possession of the Sublease Premises, costs incurred in cleaning and refitting the Sublease Premises for a new tenant and costs (including reasonable broker's commissions) incurred in reletting the Sublease Premises. The "worth at the time of award" shall be computed, for purposes of clauses (1) and (2) above, by allowing interest at two percent over the prime or corporate reference rate announced from time to time by Bank of America, or, if lower, the maximum rate permitted by law during the period in question, and, for purposes of clause (3) above, by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank in the State in which the Sublease Premises are located in effect at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%). (c) The right to re-enter and repossess the Sublease Premises, and remove all persons and property therefrom, by any suitable action or proceeding without liability to Subtenant or anybody claiming by, through or under Subtenant. No such re-entry or repossession shall be deemed an election to terminate this lease, unless Sublessor has given Subtenant written notice of termination pursuant to subparagraph (a) above or such termination is otherwise decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Sublessor may store any property removed from the Sublease Premises at Subtenant's expense and, if Subtenant does not pay the cost of such removal and storage within the later of ten (10) days after written demand to Subtenant therefor or thirty (30) days after the removal and storage of such property, Sublessor may sell such property and apply the proceeds of such sale to the cost of such removal and storage and to any other amounts then owed Sublessor hereunder. (d) Sublessor has the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (Sublessor may continue Sublease in effect after Subtenant's breach and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Subtenant has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). (e) Without terminating this Sublease, Sublessor shall have the right to relet the Sublease Premises or any part thereof, for Subtenant's account, but on such terms and conditions and at such rentals as Sublessor in its sole discretion deems advisable, with the right at Subtenant's expense to make such alterations and repairs in the Sublease Premises and to incur such other expenses as Sublessor in its discretion deems necessary for such reletting. Rents and other sums received by Sublessor from any such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of expenses incurred by Sublessor in reletting and repossessing the Sublease Premises and in the reletting thereof; second, to sums other than Rent then owed by Subtenant to Sublessor hereunder; third, to installments of Rent then owed Sublessor hereunder; fourth, to future installments of Rent, as they become due; and, fifth, any balance to Subtenant. If the rents and other revenues received by Sublessor from any such reletting are insufficient to pay in full the amounts due Sublessor hereunder (including, without limitation, reimbursement of the expenses of reentering, repossessing and reletting the Sublease Premises), Subtenant shall, upon demand and from time to time, pay the deficiency to Sublessor. (f) Without terminating this Sublease, seek and obtain the appointment of a receiver to take possession of the Sublease Premises, relet the same, collect and receive any Rents and other amounts payable to Subtenant with respect to the Sublease Premises and apply such receipts, first, to the expenses of such receivership and, then, in accordance with subparagraph (e) above. (g) To cure any default on the part of Subtenant and to recover from Subtenant the cost of such cure, upon demand, together with interest thereon from the date paid at an annual rate of ten percent (10%). Sublessor's cure of any default hereunder shall not be deemed to waive such default or any other Event of Default. (h) Any other right or remedy provided by law or in equity or in the Master Lease. The rights and remedies of Sublessor provided in this Sublease are, to the maximum extent permitted by law, cumulative and not mutually exclusive. 16. Indemnification and Limitation on Liability. The terms of subsections 16(a), (b) and (c) below shall not be effective unless and until Sublessor tenders possession of the Remainder Premises to Subtenant and Section 16(f) shall be in full force and effect until Sublessor tenders possession of the Remainder Premises to Subtenant. Upon such tender of possession of the Remainder Premises to Subtenant, subsections 16(a), (b) and (c) shall be in full force and effect and fully enforceable, and the terms of Section 16(f) below shall be of no further force or effect and shall be deemed deleted from this Sublease. (a) Subtenant hereby agrees to indemnify Sublessor and Sublessor's directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, principals, employees, agents, servants, contractors, subcontractors, visitors, licensees, successors and assigns (collectively, "Sublessor's Representatives") against and save Sublessor and Sublessor's Representatives harmless from any and all losses, costs, damages, charges, liabilities, obligations, fines, penalties, claims, demands, or judgments and any and all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, court costs, and costs of appeal, settlement and negotiations (collectively, "Claims"), arising out of or in connection with: (a) Subtenant's use of the Sublease Premises; (b) the conduct of Subtenant's business or any activity, work or thing done, permitted or suffered by Subtenant in, on or about the Sublease Premises or the Building; (c) any failure to perform or observe any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions required to be performed or observed by Subtenant under this Sublease or the Master Lease; or (d) any negligence or other misconduct of Subtenant or any of Subtenant's Representatives in connection with the performance of Subtenant's obligations under this Sublease; or (e) any mechanic's lien and other liens and encumbrances filed by any person claiming by, through or under Subtenant, including security interests in any materials, fixtures, equipment and any other improvements or appurtenances installed in, located on or constituting part of the Sublease Premises. In the event that any action or proceeding is brought against Sublessor by reason of any of clauses (a) through (e) inclusive of this Section 16, Subtenant shall, at the request of Sublessor, assume the defense of the same at Subtenant's sole cost with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Sublessor. Sublessor and its insurers shall each have the right to employ, at its expense, separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof. Subtenant shall consent to and indemnify Sublessor against the costs of any reasonable settlement agreed to by Sublessor of such action or proceeding. (b) Subtenant hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or on the Sublease Premises or arising from the use or occupation thereof from any cause whatsoever, except when caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor. (c) Sublessor shall not be responsible or liable to Subtenant or to those claiming by, through or under Subtenant for any injury, loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of: (i) persons occupying other premises in the Building, or (ii) Sublessor or Sublessor's Representatives unless proximately caused by (A) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor or Sublessor's Representatives or (B) the negligence of Sublessor or Sublessor's Representatives if such negligence is covered by and compensable under insurance obtained by Sublessor. Sublessor shall not be responsible or liable to Subtenant for any defect or failure, in (or any act or omission in the construction of) the Building, the Sublease Premises or any Building system, nor shall it be responsible or liable for any injury, loss or damage to any person or property of Subtenant or Subtenant's Representatives or any other person caused by or resulting from fire, electricity, gas, water, or other utility (or interruption therein) or from rain, snow, ice, theft, bursting, breakage, explosion, implosion, leakage, steam, running, backing up, seepage, or the overflow of water or sewerage in any part of the Building or for any injury, loss or damage caused by or resulting from acts of God or the elements. Subtenant shall give prompt notice to Sublessor in case of fire, casualty, defect or accident in the Sublease Premises or in the Building or of defects therein or in any Building systems. (d) Subtenant's indemnity obligations under this Section 16 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. (e) Subtenant hereby expressly assumes any and all indemnity obligations of Sublessor under the Master Lease that relate to the Partial Premises arising and accruing on or after the date of the Sublease and (ii) Remainder Premises arising and accruing on or after the date Subtenant takes possession of the Remainder Premises. (f) Until Sublessor delivers the Remainder Premises to Subtenant, (i) Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublessor to the same extent as Sublessor, as Lessee under the Master Lease (under the terms of Section 7.7 of the Master Lease), has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, as Lessor, under the Master Lease, (ii) Sublessor shall be exempt from liability, and shall neither be liable for injury to Sublessee's business or any loss of income therefrom or for damage to the property of the Subtenant nor liable for injury to the person of Subtenant, to the same extent as Landlord, under Section 7.8 of the Master Lease, is exempt from liability and not liable to Sublessor, as Lessee under the Master Lease and (iii) Sublessor shall indemnify, defend and hold Subtenant harmless from and against any and all Claims caused by the negligent acts, negligent omissions or willful misconduct of Sublessor, except to the extent caused by Subtenant. This subsection 16(f) shall be applicable and in full force and effect until Sublessor tenders possession of the Remainder Premises to Subtenant and, upon Sublessor's tender of possession of the Remainder Premises to Subtenant, this subsection 16(f) shall be of no further force or effect and shall be deemed deleted from this Sublease. 17. Assignment and Subletting. Subtenant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage, sublet or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of Subtenant's interest in this Sublease or in the Sublease Premises, without Sublessor's prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld and the prior written consent of the Landlord, as provided in the Master Lease. 18. Signs. Subtenant shall not place any sign upon the Sublease Premises without Sublessor's prior written consent; provided, however, that Sublessor shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any sign approved by Landlord; provided, further, that Subtenant shall have the right to place identification signs on doors leading from the common corridor into the Sublease Premises with Landlord's approval, but Subtenant shall repair, or reimburse Sublessor on demand for the cost of repairing, any damage to such doors resulting from the installation or removal of such signage. Subtenant shall be solely responsible for negotiating with the Landlord appropriate informational lines on the Building directory. 19. Brokers. Each of Sublessor and Subtenant represents to the other Party that it has not employed or consulted with any broker other than Blair Hayes Commercial and Pacifica Commercial Realty (collectively, "Brokers") with respect to this Sublease. Each Party shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all Claims incurred or resulting from the claim of any person, except Brokers, that a commission or fee is due in connection with this Sublease if such claim is based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have been made by such Party. Payment of Brokers is Sublessor's responsibility. Sublessor shall pay to Blair Hayes Hayes Commercial and Pacifica Commercial Realty a commission equal to two percent (2%) each of the total Base Rent for the Partial Premises and, in the event the Remainder Premises is delivered to Subtenant, for the Remainder Premises in addition to the Partial Premises. The commission applicable to the (i) Partial Premises shall be paid 1/2 upon submittal of a fully executed approved Sublease Agreement and 1/2 upon Subtenant's occupancy of the Partial Premises for purposes of conducting its business and (ii) Remainder Premises shall be paid upon Subtenant's occupancy of the Remainder Premises for purposes of conducting its business. 20. Holding Over. If Subtenant holds over after the expiration of the Sublease Term or earlier termination of this Sublease, with or without the express or implied consent of Sublessor, then at the option of Sublessor, Subtenant will become and be only a month-to-month tenant at a rent equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the rent payable by Subtenant immediately prior to such expiration or termination, and otherwise upon the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, (i) Sublessor expressly reserves the right to require Subtenant to surrender possession of the Sublease Premises upon the expiration of the Sublease Term or upon the earlier termination of this Sublease and the right to assert any remedy at law or in equity to evict Subtenant and/or collect damages in connection with any holding over, and (ii) Subtenant will indemnify, defend and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, losses, damages, obligations, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees incurred or suffered by Sublessor by reason of Subtenant's failure to surrender the Sublease Premises on the expiration of the Sublease Term or earlier termination of this Sublease. 21. Subordination. This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Master Lease, to all ground and underlying leases, and to all mortgages and deeds of trust which may now or hereafter affect such leases, the leasehold estate or estates thereby created or the real property of which the Sublease Premises form a part, and to any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. 22.

No waiver by either Party of any right or obligation contained in this Sublease shall be deemed to have been made, unless made expressly in writing by the Party entitled to the performance of the obligation, satisfaction of the condition or exercise of the right in question. Sublessor's acceptance of any partial payment of Rent due Sublessor hereunder shall not satisfy or discharge Subtenant's obligation to pay the balance of Rent then due, nor shall Sublessor's acceptance of any payment of Rent when Subtenant is in breach of any other obligation or condition under this Sublease be deemed a waiver of such breach. 24. Estoppel Certificates. (1) Obligation to Provide. Subtenant will at any time upon not less than ten (10) days' prior written notice from Sublessor execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublessor a statement in writing (i) certifying that this Sublease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Sublease, as so modified, is in full force and effect), the amount of any security deposit, and the date to which the Rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, and (ii) acknowledging that there are not, to Subtenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of Sublessor hereunder or of Landlord under the Master Lease, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed. Any such statement may be conclusively relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer to the Sublease Premises. (2) Failure to Provide. At Sublessor's option, Subtenant's failure to deliver a statement within the time required by Section 24(a) above, will be conclusive upon Subtenant (i) that this Sublease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Sublessor, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Sublessor's performance hereunder or in Landlord's performance under the Master Lease, and (iii) that not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance, or such failure may be considered by Sublessor as a material default by Subtenant under this Sublease. 25.
