by reason of imminent expiration of the Letter of Credit, Sublessor shall have
the right to draw the full amount of the Letter of Credit, and to apply the
amounts drawn to any present or future amounts due under this Sublease. The
amounts drawn, to the extent not applied to defaults, shall be promptly returned
to Sublessee upon Sublessee's delivery to Sublessor of a Letter of Credit
meeting the requirements of this Section 12, which Letter of Credit shall not
expire until the earlier of (1) one (I) year from the date of delivery to
Sublessor; or (2) forty (40) days after the Expiration Date. If Sublessor is
holding any amounts drawn under a Letter of Credit on expiration or termination

29 of the Master Lease which are incorporated herein, any assignment, sublease,
hypothecation, transfer or permission for a third party to use all or any
portion of the Premises is subject to
-23-
Master Lessor's consent and to Master Lessor's right to terminate the Master
Lease as to the portion (or all) of the Premises subject to such request, all as
provided in Section 29 of the Master Lease. If Master Lessor terminates the
Master Lease as to the portion (or all) of the Premises in connection with a
request to sublease or assign, then this Sublease shall terminate in like
manner, concurrent with the Master Lease termination. If Master Lessor withholds
its consent to a sublease, assignment or other transfer, then the sublease,
assignment or other transfer shall not be permitted, and Sublessor shall have no
liability or responsibility for Master Lessor's refusal to consent. No
assignment or subletting shall relieve Sublessee of any obligation under this
Sublease. Any assignment or subletting which conflicts with the provisions of
this Sublease or of the Master Lease shall be void.
13.2 Bonus Rent: In connection with any sublease or assignment,
Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor any and all amounts due to or claimed due by
Master Lessor under Section 29B of the Master Lease as and when due under the

regarding the sublease or assignment which is necessary or desirable to
determine the amounts due to Master Lessor under Section 29B.
13.3 Effect of Default: In the event of Sublessee's default (beyond
any applicable notice and cure periods), Sublessee hereby assigns all rents due
from any assignment or subletting to Sublessor as security for performance of
its obligations under this Sublease and Sublessor may collect such rents at any
time after default without requiring any written notice from Sublessee. The
termination of this Sublease due to Sublessee's default shall not automatically
terminate any assignment or sublease then in existence; at the election of
Sublessor, such assignment or sublease shall survive the termination of this
Sublease and, upon
-24-
such election, the assignee or subtenant shall attorn to Sublessor and Sublessor
shall undertake the obligations of the Sublessee under the sublease or
assignment; provided the Sublessor shall not be liable for prepaid rent,
security deposits or other defaults of the Sublessee to the subtenant or
assignee, or any acts or omissions of Sublessee, its agents, employees,
contractors or invitees.

with the property and equipment listed on Exhibit B attached hereto (together,

security system. On expiration of the Term of this Sublease or on any other
termination hereof, Sublessee shall be solely responsible for removal of all
Equipment from the Premises and restoration in connection therewith in
accordance with the terms of the Master Lease.

Date with Sublessor's consent, shall be construed to be a tenancy at sufferance,
terminable at will by Sublessor, and Sublessee shall pay Base Monthly Rent to
Sublessor at a rate equal to one hundred thirty-three percent (133%) of the Base
Monthly Rent due in the month preceding the
-25-
termination or Expiration Date plus all other amounts payable by Sublessee under
this Sublease. Any holding over shall otherwise be on the terms and conditions
herein specified. Sublessee shall indemnify, defend, and hold Sublessor harmless
from all loss or liability (including, without limitation, any loss or liability
resulted from any claim against Sublessor made by any succeeding tenant or by
Master Lessor) resulting from Sublessee's failure to timely surrender the
Premises to Sublessor and losses to Sublessor or Master Lessor due to lost
opportunities to lease the Premises to succeeding tenants.

limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed by Sublessor and Sublessee
that if any Alterations or improvements (irrespective of whether installed
before or after the Commencement Date of this Sublease) are required by Master
Lessor to be removed or if any conditions are required by Master Lessor to be
restored in order to return the Premises to its condition as of the commencement
date of the Master Lease (including without limitation, restoration of the 29
private offices, and the reversal of all of the Changes listed on Exhibit D
attached hereto except for those listed on Exhibit C and except for Errors),
then all such responsibility and cost shall be born by Sublessee. Sublessee may
be relieved of-any of the foregoing surrender requirements only by way of a
release by Master Lessor of all Sublessor's obligations under the Master
-26-
Lease regarding condition of the Premises on surrender, in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Sublessor.
17. Parking: Sublessee shall have the right to such parking privileges
as are held by Sublessor under the Master Lease. In this regard, Sublessee
acknowledges: (1) that it has reviewed the Declaration of Reciprocal Easement (

occupied by Brio has the right to use 27 exclusive parking spaces in the
on-grade parking area.

18.2 At the request of Sublessee, Sublessor shall reasonably
cooperate with Sublessee in enforcing any of the rights of the tenant under the
Master Lease or of the obligations of Master Lessor under the Master Lease
(irrespective of whether or not the relevant
-27-
portions of the Master Lease are incorporated in this Sublease), provided that
Sublessor's cooperation shall be at no cost or expense to Sublessor, and further
provided that Sublessor shall have no liability or responsibility whatsoever for
failure to enforce such rights or obligations, for failure of Master Lessor to
fulfill its obligations under the Master Lease or to initiate any enforcement
action or activity. Sublessee may bring an action in Sublessor's name against
Master Lessor to enforce any such rights, provided that Sublessor shall have no
expense or cost in connection therewith, and Sublessee shall indemnify, defend
and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all claims, actions,
expenses, liabilities, costs or demands which arise from or are in any way
connected with any such action or claim brought in Sublessor's name against
Master Lessor. In addition to or as an alternative to such an action, Sublessee
