Subtenant shall promptly pay all insurance premiums and shall provide Sublandlord with policies or certificates which are acceptable to Sublandlord and Master Landlord evidencing such insurance upon Subtenant’s execution of this Sublease.

 

(b) In the event Subtenant sustains a loss by reason of fire or other casualty which is covered by its property insurance policy (or would have been covered had Subtenant carried the insurance required hereunder), and regardless of whether such fire or other casualty is caused in whole or in part by the acts or omissions of Sublandlord or Master Landlord or their agents, servants, employees or invitees, then Subtenant agrees to look first to the coverage provided by its insurance proceeds, and Subtenant shall have no right of action against Sublandlord, Master Landlord, or their agents, servants, employees or invitees, and no third party shall have any right by way of assignment, subrogation or otherwise against the party causing such loss; provided, however the foregoing release of claims shall only apply to the extent of insurance proceeds actually collected by such party (unless such party failed to maintain the coverage required hereunder in which event it shall be deemed to have recovered the entire policy amount required hereunder). In the event Sublandlord sustains a loss by reason of fire or other casualty which is covered by its property insurance policy and regardless of whether such fire or other casualty is caused in whole or in part by the acts or omissions of Subtenant or its agents, servants, employees or invitees, then Sublandlord agrees to look first to the coverage provided by its insurance proceeds, and it shall have no right of actions against Subtenant or its agents, servants, employees or invitees, and no third party shall have any right by way of assignment, subrogation or otherwise against Subtenant; provided, however the foregoing release of claims shall only apply to the extent of insurance proceeds actually collected by Sublandlord (unless Sublandlord failed to maintain the coverage required hereunder, if any, in which event it shall be deemed to have recovered the entire policy amount required). The parties hereto agree that each of its policies of property insurance shall include a waiver of subrogation or other provision allowing it to effectuate the provisions of this provision.

Except to the extent caused by the active negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or a breach of the Master Lease by Sublandlord (except to the extent such breach is due to the failure of Subtenant to perform its obligations under the Sublease), Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord and Sublandlord Related Parties from liability, losses, damage, claims, suits or actions, judgments and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) which may arise or grow out of injury to or death of any person or damage to any tangible property caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of or a breach of this Sublease by Subtenant, its agents, employees, or contractors. In case Sublandlord shall without fault on its part be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Sublandlord for which it is to be indemnified hereunder, then the Subtenant shall protect and hold harmless and pay all costs, penalties, charges, damages, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred or paid by Sublandlord.

2.7 Security Deposit.

 

(a) Concurrent with payment of the first installment of Base Monthly Rent, the Subtenant shall provide to the Sublandlord a deposit (referred to in this section as the “Deposit”) in the amount of $202,874.24. The Deposit shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sublease to be kept and performed by Subtenant during the Sublease Term. If Subtenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Sublease, Sublandlord may draw upon the Deposit for payment of any Base Monthly Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that Sublandlord may spend or may become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant’s default; or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss, cost or damage that Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant’s default. The use, application or retention of the Deposit, or any portion thereof, by Sublandlord shall not prevent Sublandlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Sublease or by law, it being intended that Sublandlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Deposit and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Sublandlord may otherwise be entitled. If any portion of the Deposit is drawn upon, Subtenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, reinstate the Deposit to the amount required under this Lease. If Subtenant is not in default hereunder, Sublandlord shall return the deposit, if any remains after Sublandlord’s draws pursuant to this Section, to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after the Sublease terminates. Sublandlord shall not be required to keep this deposit separate from its general funds, and Subtenant is not entitled to interest on the Deposit.

 

(b) The Sublandlord agrees to apply $64,893.76 of the Deposit toward Rent first falling due in the thirteenth month of the Sublease Term, and $74,751.04 of the Deposit toward Rent first falling due in the twenty-fifth month of the Sublease Term. After such application of the Deposit in the twenty-fifth month, the remaining $62,429.44 of the Deposit shall be held until the end of the Sublease Term. If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Sublease to be performed by it, the L-C Deposit and/or the L-C (as hereinafter defined), or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Subtenant within sixty (60) days following the later of the expiration of the Sublease Term or the vacating after termination of the Sublease Premises by Subtenant.

 

(c) At any time, at its option, the Subtenant may replace the Deposit with a letter of credit in the same amount as the required amount of Deposit. If the Subtenant so elects, the following provisions shall apply:

 

(i) The letter of credit shall be an unconditional, irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “L-C”) and shall be issued by Comerica Bank or another bank which is acceptable to Sublandlord, and which L-C may be presented for payment in a location acceptable to Sublandlord. The L-C shall be in form and content as attached hereto as Exhibit B for a term of not less than one year. Subtenant shall pay all expenses, points and/or fees incurred by Subtenant in obtaining the L-C.

 

7


(ii) The L-C shall be held by Sublandlord as security for the faithful performance by Subtenant of all the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Sublease to be kept and performed by Subtenant during the Sublease Term. If Subtenant defaults with respect to any provisions of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, or if Subtenant fails to renew the L-C at least thirty (30) days before its expiration, Sublandlord may, but shall not be required to, draw upon all or any portion of the L-C for payment of any Rent or any other sum in default, or for the payment of any amount that Sublandlord may spend or may become obligated to spend by reason of Subtenant’s default; or to compensate Sublandlord for any other loss, cost or damage that Sublandlord may suffer by reason of Subtenant’s default. The use, application or retention of the L-C, or any portion thereof, by Sublandlord shall not prevent Sublandlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Sublease or by law, it being intended that Sublandlord shall not first be required to proceed against the L-C and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Sublandlord may otherwise be entitled. Any amount of the L-C which is drawn upon by Sublandlord, but is not used or applied by Sublandlord, shall be held by Sublandlord and deemed a Deposit (the “L-C Deposit”). If any portion of the L-C is drawn upon, Subtenant shall, within five (5) days after written demand therefor, either (i) deposit cash with Sublandlord (which cash shall be applied by Sublandlord to the L-C Deposit) in an amount sufficient to cause the sum of the L-C Deposit and the amount of the remaining L-C to be equivalent to the amount of the L-C required under this Lease or (ii) reinstate the L-C to the amount then required under this Lease, and if any portion of the L-C Deposit is used or applied, Subtenant shall, within two (2) days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Sublandlord (which cash shall be applied by Sublandlord to the L-C Deposit) in an amount sufficient to restore the L-C Deposit to the amount required under this Lease, and Subtenant’s failure to do so shall be a default under this Sublease. If Subtenant shall fully and faithfully perform every provision of this Sublease to be performed by it, the L-C Deposit and/or the L-C, or any balance thereof, shall be returned to Subtenant within sixty (60) days following the later of the expiration of the Sublease Term or the vacating after termination of the Sublease Premises by Subtenant.

 

2.8 Use Of Premises. Subtenant shall use and occupy the Subleased Premises only for the Permitted Uses, and only to the extent permitted by the Master Lease and all laws governing or affecting Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises.

 

2.9 Assignment And Subletting.

 

(a) The Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or otherwise sublet or part with or share possession of all or any part of the Subleased Premises or transfer its interest in this Sublease without securing the written consent of the Sublandlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that the consent of the Sublandlord is subject to the consent of the Master Landlord as set out in the Master Lease. Sublandlord’s failure to respond within twenty (20) days shall be deemed consent to any subletting or assignment.

 

8


(b) The following transactions shall be deemed a transaction requiring the prior written consent contemplated by subsection (a) of this section: (i) any assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of this Sublease; (ii) any sublease, concessions, license or occupancy agreement with respect to all or any portion of the Subleased Premises (except concessions, licenses or occupancy of providers of photo copy service, mail service or food service to Subtenant within the Subleased Premises, but only to the extent that the same does not violate the terms of the Master Lease); (iii) if Subtenant or any of its successors or assigns is a corporation, any sale, pledge or other transfer of all or a majority of the capital stock of Subtenant or any such successor or assign, any merger, consolidation or reorganization of or into Subtenant or any such successor or assign, and any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Subtenant or such successor or assign; provided however, that clause 2.9 (b)(iii) shall not apply to Subtenant, its successors or assigns if such stock is publicly traded on a recognized security exchange or over the counter market.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Subtenant otherwise complies with the provisions of this Section 2.9, Subtenant may enter into any of the following transfers (a “Permitted Transfer”) without Sublandlord’s prior consent. Subtenant may sublease all or part of the Subleased Premises or assign its interest in this Sublease to (i) any corporation which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the original Subtenant to this Sublease by means of an ownership interest of more than 50%; (ii) a corporation which results from a merger, consolidation or other reorganization, so long as the surviving corporation has a net worth at the time of such assignment that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Subtenant immediately prior to such transaction; and (iii) a corporation which purchases or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Subtenant so long as such acquiring corporation has a net worth at the time of such assignment that is equal to or greater than the net worth of Subtenant immediately prior to such transaction.

 

(d) Any attempt by Subtenant to assign, sublet or transfer its rights in the Subleased Premises without the prior written consent (or deemed consent in the case of Sublandlord) of both Sublandlord and Master Landlord shall be void, and at Sublandlord’s options, any breach of this Section shall constitute a default by Subtenant entitling Sublandlord to exercise all rights and remedies permitted hereunder without need for any notice and cure period. No permitted assignment, transfer, encumbrance or subletting shall relieve Subtenant from Subtenant’s obligations and agreements hereunder and Subtenant shall continue to be liable as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety to the same extent as though no assignment, transfer, encumbrance or subletting had been made.

 

(e) Notwithstanding any assignment of this Sublease or any sublet of all or a portion of the Subleased Premises by the Subtenant, the Subtenant shall remain liable for all obligations under this Sublease.

 

9


(f) If, for any assignment or sublet (a “Transfer”), the minimum or the base monthly rent and additional rent to be paid by the transferee under such Transfer triggers the provisions of Section 17B. of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall tender any amounts due directly to Master Landlord as required by Section 17 of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall not be entitled to any amounts due from Subtenant pursuant to Section 17B of the Master Lease, except as pursuant to Section 2.13 (c) hereunder, Sublandlord may seek reimbursement of such amounts, in the event that Subtenant fails to tender any amounts due to Master Landlord as and when due.

 

(g) This Sublease shall be subject to the rights of the Master Landlord to recapture the Subleased Premises as set forth in Article 17 of the Master Lease.

 

2.10 Provision Of Services. No services are currently included in Base Monthly Rent or Additional Rent except for any provided by Master Landlord to Sublandlord under the Master Lease. If Sublandlord furnishes the Subleased Premises or Subtenant with any additional services upon request of Subtenant, Sublandlord shall charge Subtenant a reasonable charge therefor, and Subtenant shall pay the additional charge within thirty (30) days of billing by Sublandlord.

 

2.11 Condition Of Premises; Trade Fixtures. Subtenant shall have the right to furnish and install any trade fixtures, including equipment, furniture and other items of moveable property that are necessary for the conduct of its business; provided, however, that at the termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall remove such trade fixtures and restore the Subleased Premises at Subtenant’s sole cost to the state and condition in which they existed on the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted. If Subtenant fails to comply with the provisions of this paragraph, Sublandlord may make such repairs or restoration, and the reasonable cost thereof shall be additional Rent payable by Subtenant on demand. All trade fixtures shall be and remain the property of Subtenant, provided that any such trade fixtures remaining on the Subleased Premises after the expiration or termination of the Sublease Term shall be deemed abandoned by Subtenant and shall, at Sublandlord’s option, become the property of Sublandlord without payment therefor.

 

2.12 Alterations And Improvements.

 

(a) Sublandlord shall have no obligation to make any alterations or improvements to the Subleased Premises for Subtenant’s use or occupancy thereof.

Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold delay or condition its consent and shall grant withhold or condition its consent promptly, but in no event later than within five days of its receipt of Master Landlord’s approval.

10


the commencement of such Subtenant Improvements along with Master Landlord’s written consent thereto, then Sublandlord’s consent shall be deemed to have been granted. If Subtenant performs Subtenant Improvements without obtaining the prior written consent of both Master Landlord and Sublandlord in violation of this Sublease or the Master Lease, Sublandlord (or Master Landlord) may remove the Subtenant Improvements, restore the Subleased Premises and repair any damage arising from such removal or restoration, and Subtenant shall be liable for all costs and expenses incurred in the performance of such removal, repairs or restoration. If Sublandlord and Master Landlord consent to any Subtenant Improvements, Subtenant shall perform and complete Subtenant Improvements at its expense, in compliance with applicable laws and the Master Lease, and, upon expiration of the Sublease Term or prior termination of this Sublease, the Subtenant Improvements shall be the property of, Sublandlord or Master Landlord as the case may be, as provided in the Master Lease.

 

(b) Subtenant shall be entitled without Master Landlord or Sublandlord’s consent, to make Subtenant Improvements which do not affect the structure of the Building or which do not cost more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) per Subtenant Improvement nor an aggregate of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) in any twelve (12) month period; provided that Subtenant shall be required to comply with the other provisions of Section 7 of the Master Lease.

 

(c) Subject to the terms of the Sublease and of the Master Lease, Subtenant shall remove the Subtenant Improvements prior to the end of the Sublease Term and shall restore the Subleased Premises to their condition as of the Sublease Commencement Date. If Master Landlord requires such removal and restoration and Subtenant fails to comply with such requirement, Sublandlord may undertake such removal and restoration and Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for all costs and expenses incurred by the Sublandlord in connection therewith.
