The terms, covenants, and conditions of the Primary Lease are incorporated herein by reference, except to the extent they are expressly deleted or modified by the provisions of this Sublease. Every term, covenant, and condition of the Primary Lease binding on or inuring to the benefit of Landlord shall, in respect of this Sublease, be binding on or inure to the benefit of Sublandlord and every term, covenant, and condition of the Primary Lease binding on or inuring to the benefit of Sublandlord shall, in respect of this Sublease, be binding on and inure to the benefit of Subtenant. Whenever the term “Lessor” appears in the Primary Lease, the word “Sublandlord” shall be substituted therefore; whenever the term “Lessee” appears in the Primary Lease, the word “Subtenant” shall be substituted therefore; and whenever the word “Premises” appears in the Primary Lease, the word “Subleased Premises” shall be substituted therefore. If any of the express provisions of this Sublease shall expressly conflict with any of the Incorporated Provisions, such conflict shall be resolved in every instance in favor of the express provisions of this Sublease.

 

Subtenant shall be entitled to receive all of the services and facilities to the extent received by or made available to Sublandlord from Landlord with respect to the Subleased Premises pursuant to and in accordance with the Primary Lease (including, without limitation, heating, air-conditioning, ventilation, cleaning, water, electricity, elevator or other utility service), repairs, restorations, alterations, replacements and similar obligations of the Landlord under the Primary Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises (collectively sometimes referred to herein as the “Landlord’s Obligations”). In the event Subtenant needs supplemental services from the Landlord, Subtenant shall have the right to make such requests for such supplemental services directly from Landlord and further agrees to pay directly to Landlord (if so requested by Landlord), when due, any and all charges for any such supplemental services which are charged by Landlord relating to the Subleased Premises pursuant to the terms of the Primary Lease. Subtenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Subtenant shall look solely to Landlord for the performance of all of Landlord’s Obligations under the Primary Lease and that Sublandlord shall not be obligated to provide any services to Subtenant or otherwise perform any obligations in connection with this Sublease, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. In implementation of the foregoing, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for any costs of such services requested by Subtenant to the extent Landlord charges Sublandlord therefor, and Sublandlord shall have no right to charge Subtenant a mark-up or other fee with respect thereto. In the event that Landlord is unwilling to deal directly with Subtenant with regard to any supplemental services, Sublandlord shall agree to discuss with Landlord, on behalf of Subtenant, any material concerns or issues raised by Subtenant in good faith regarding supplemental services and invoices in respect thereof. Subtenant shall pay for all supplemental services at the rates set forth in the Primary Lease or as billed by the Landlord to Sublandlord, as applicable, and Sublandlord shall have no right to charge Subtenant a mark-up or other fee with respect thereto.

If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of its Landlord’s Obligations under the Primary Lease and such default has an adverse effect on Subtenant’s use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises (an “Interruption”) then upon Subtenant’s written request, Sublandlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the applicable provisions of the Lease for Subtenant’s benefit in an attempt to cause Landlord to cure such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Interruption has occurred and an action with respect to such Interruption against Landlord by Subtenant in Subtenant’s own name is barred by reason of lack of privity, non-assignability or otherwise, then upon Subtenant’s written request, Sublandlord shall execute all documents reasonably required to allow Subtenant to bring such action in Sublandlord’s name, provided the same is without cost and expense to, or recourse against, Sublandlord. To the extent that Sublandlord is entitled to any abatement of rent or additional rent payable by Sublandlord under the Primary Lease as a result of any fire, other casualty, condemnation, or the exercise of the right of eminent domain, in each case affecting the Subleased Premises, or as a result of any other cause affecting the Subleased Premises, and Sublandlord actually receives any such abatement then, in such event, Subtenant shall be entitled to a corresponding proportionate abatement of the Base Rent payable hereunder (taking into account the square footage involved and the difference in rental rates payable by Sublandlord and Subtenant).

Subtenant hereby agrees that Landlord is solely responsible for the performance of the foregoing obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the written request of Subtenant, Sublandlord shall make a written demand on Landlord to perform its obligations under the Primary Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises if Landlord fails to perform same within the time frame and in the manner required under the Primary Lease; provided, however, Subtenant shall not be required to bring any action against the Landlord to enforce its obligations. If Sublandlord makes written demand on Landlord or brings an action against Landlord to enforce Landlord’s obligations under the Primary Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises, all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred by Sublandlord in connection therewith shall be deemed additional rent and shall be due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord within ten (10) days after notice from Sublandlord.

16. No Privity of Estate; No Privity of Contract.

 

Nothing in this Sublease shall be construed to create privity of estate or privity of contract between Subtenant and Landlord.

 

17. No Breach of Primary Lease.

 

Subtenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing, or omit to do anything, which may constitute a breach or violation of any term, covenant, or condition of the Primary Lease, notwithstanding such act, thing, or omission is permitted under the terms of this Sublease.

 

18. Subtenant Defaults.

 

(a) If Subtenant fails to cure a default under this Sublease within any applicable grace or cure period contained in the Primary Lease (as such applicable grace or cure period is modified herein), Sublandlord, after ten (10) days’ notice to Subtenant, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to seek to remedy any such default on the behalf of, and at the expense of, Subtenant, provided, however, that in the case of: (i) a life safety or property related emergency; or (ii) a default which must be cured within a time frame set out in the Primary Lease which does not allow sufficient time for prior notice to be given to Subtenant, Sublandlord may remedy any such default without being required first to give notice to Subtenant. Any reasonable cost and expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) so incurred by Sublandlord shall be deemed additional rent and shall be due and payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord within ten (10) days after notice from Sublandlord.

Sublandlord expressly agrees not to voluntarily surrender or terminate the term of the Primary Lease pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Primary Lease without Subtenant’s written consent, which Subtenant may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. If for any reason the term of the Primary Lease shall terminate prior to the Sublease Expiration Date, then this Sublease shall automatically be terminated and Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant by reason thereof unless said termination of the Primary Lease shall have been caused by either by: (i) the default of Sublandlord under this Sublease or the Primary Lease, or (ii) the voluntary termination of the Primary Lease without the prior consent of Subtenant, in which event Sublandlord’s liability shall not be discharged on account of such termination of the Primary Lease and/or this Sublease.

Except as set forth below, Subtenant shall make no alterations or changes (collectively, “Alterations”) to the Subleased Premises or any other portion of the Building of any kind or nature without Sublandlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. It is agreed that it will be reasonable for Sublandlord to withhold its consent to any Alterations if Subtenant has not obtained Landlord’s consent to such Alterations (to the extent that Landlord’s consent to such Alterations is required pursuant to terms of the Lease). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord’s consent shall not be required with respect to those interior decorating alterations which are permitted to be performed pursuant to the terms of Lease without the prior consent of Landlord. Subtenant and Sublandlord agree that all of the terms and conditions of Article VII of the Primary Lease shall be applied mutatis mutandis; provided, however, the word “Landlord” in the Lease shall be construed to mean Sublandlord and/or Landlord, as the context requires, and the word “Tenant” shall be construed to mean Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Sublandlord shall not charge Subtenant any construction and/or supervisory fee in connection with any Alterations to be performed by or on behalf of Subtenant.

Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord, not later than ten (10) days after written demand by Sublandlord, for any fees and disbursements of attorneys, architects, engineers, or others charged by Landlord in connection with any consent or approval. Sublandlord shall have no liability of any kind to Subtenant for Landlord’s failure to give its consent or approval.

 

22. Landlord Consent to Sublease.

 

This Sublease is expressly conditioned on obtaining the written consent of Landlord and the written consent of any mortgagee, ground lessor, or other third party required under the Primary Lease (collectively, “ Landlord Consent”).

 

(a) Any fees and expenses incurred by the Landlord or any mortgagee, ground lessor, or other third party in connection with requesting and obtaining the Landlord Consent shall be paid by Sublandlord and shall thereafter be reimbursed by Subtenant to Sublandlord not later than ten (10) days after written demand by Sublandlord. Subtenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord and supply all information and documentation requested by Landlord within ten (10) days of its request therefor. Sublandlord shall not be required to perform any acts, expend any funds, or bring any legal proceedings to obtain the Landlord Consent and Subtenant shall have no right to any claim against Sublandlord if the Landlord Consent is not obtained.
