whatsoever.

Premises, or any part thereof; to be used or occupied by others, without the
prior written consent of Sub-Sublessor, Sublessor and Master Lessor, which shall
not be unreasonably withhold. The consent by Sub-Sublessor, Sublessor and Master
Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not waive the need for Sub-
Sublessee (and Sub-Sublessee's assignee or subtenant) to obtain the consent of
Sub-Sublessor, Sublessor and Master Lessor to any different or further
assignment or subletting.
10.2 Failure to Comply. Any assignment, encumbrance or sublease which is
-----------------
attempted or created without Sub-Sublessor's, Sublessor's and Master Lessor's
prior written consent shall be voidable by SubSublessor and shall constitute a
default and material breach of this Sub-Sublease. No consent to any assignment
or sublease shall constitute a waiver of the provisions of this Section and no
further assignment or subletting shall be made without Sub-Sublessor's prior
written consent.
10.3 Sub-Sublessor's Costs. If Sub-Sublessee requests Sub-Sublessor to
---------------------
consent to a proposed assignment or subletting, Sub-Sublessee shall pay to Sub-
Sublessor within thirty (30) days following demand therefor accompanied by
reasonable backup documentation, whether or not consent is ultimately given,
Sub-Sublessor's reasonable attorney's fees, accountant's fees, and other
expenses incurred in connection with each such request, not to exceed the sum of
One Thousand Dollar ($1,000.00) and in addition, any sums due Lessor or
Sublessor for their
-5-
<PAGE>
review, for any one proposed assignee or subtenant (but this limitation shall
not apply in the event that Sub-Sublessee or such proposed assignee or subtenant
acts unreasonably in a way that causes Sub-Sublessor additional time or effort
in considering approval). The costs due under this paragraph shall be as
Additional Rent.
10.4 Deemed Reasonable. Sub-Sublessor's consent to such proposed
-----------------
assignment or sublet shall not be unreasonably withheld. The parties agree that
it shall be deemed reasonable for Sub-Sublessor to withhold consent if any
condition herein set forth (which conditions are not exclusive) has not been
satisfied. Sub-Sublessor and Sub-Sublessee agree that Sub-Sublessor's right to
approve assignment and/or subletting of Sub-Sublessee's interest under this
SubSublease does not in any way constitute an unreasonable restraint on
alienation, and that Sub-Sublessor's exercise of such approval right, if such
exercise is reasonable, shall not in any way constitute a breach of any duty of
good faith and fair dealing.
10.5 Basic Standards. The standards, obligations and terms of any such
---------------
requested assignment or sublet shall be in accordance with the terms of the
Master Lease and Sublease regarding assignment and Subletting including the
right of Master Lessor or Sublessor to recapture, if applicable.
10.6 No Release of Sub-Sublessee. Regardless of Sub-Sublessor's consent,
---------------------------
no subletting or assignment shall release Sub-Sublessee of Sub-Sublessee's
obligation or alter the primary liability of Sub-Sublessee to pay the rent and
to perform all other obligations to be performed by Sub-Sublessee hereunder. The
acceptance of rent by Sub-Sublessor from any other person shall not be deemed to
be a waiver by Sub-Sublessor of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment
or subletting shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or
subletting. In the event of default by any assignee, subtenant or any other
successor of Sub-Sublessee, in the performance of any of the terms hereof,
SubSublessor may proceed directly against Sub-Sublessee without the necessity of
exhausting remedies against such assignee, subtenant or successor.
10.7 Claim of Unreasonableness. Should Sub-Sublessee believe that Sub-
-------------------------
Sublessor has been unreasonable in withholding or delaying consent or
unreasonable in its request for information under this Article 10 as to a
proposal to sublet or assign, then Sub-Sublessee shall promptly give Sub-
Sublessor notice that Sub-Sublessee believes such. withholding or delaying of
consent to be unreasonable. Either party may seek a declaratory judgment and/or
an injunction relating to the reasonableness of Sub-Sublessor's withholding or
delaying consent to an assignment or subletting, and the other party shall
cooperate in the disposition of such an action or proceeding. Sub-Sublessee
agrees that, in the event that Sub-Sublessor seeks such a declaratory judgment
and/or an injunction by application to the appropriate judicial authority within
15 days of Sub-Sublessee's notice of claim of unreasonableness, Sub-Sublessee's
remedies for Sub-Sublessor's unreasonably withholding or delaying consent or
being unreasonable in its request for information shall be restricted to a
declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought without any money
damages. The parties agree that any application for an injunction pendente lite
may be treated as a motion for summary judgment and relief granted accordingly
on the papers in favor of either Sub-Sublessor or Sub-Sublessee as determined by
the

of the loss of rent that Sub-Sublessee proves could have been reasonably
avoided; (iii) the worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which the
unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of the loss of rent that SubSublessee proves could have been reasonably
avoided; (iv) any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate Sub-
Sublessor for all detriment proximately caused by SubSublessee's default, or
which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefore,
including, without limitation, the unamortized portion of brokers' fees or
commissions and attorneys' fees incurred by Sub-Sublessor in connection with the
negotiation and execution of the Sub-Sublease with Sub-Sublessee; and (v) "the
