---
of the rents hereunder and of the covenants and agreements herein contained on
the part of Subtenant to be performed, subject to subsection 4(B), hereby: (i)
---------------
subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant accepts from Sublandlord, that certain
portion of the Prime Premises that has historically been used exclusively by OSD
employees (the "Subleased Premises"); and (ii) grants to Subtenant, and
------------------
Subtenant accepts from Sublandlord, a non-exclusive license during the Term (as
defined in Section 4) to use, subject to the terms of this Sublease, that
---------
certain portion of the Prime Premises that has historically been shared by
employees of OSD and other employees of Sublandlord (the "Licensed Space"). The
--------------
Subleased Premises and the Licensed Space are collectively referred to herein as
the "PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area," and that portion of the Prime Premises that
----------------------------
does not comprise the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area is referred to herein as the
"PBI Space."
---------
4. TERM; SUBLANDLORD'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE AND RECAPTURE.
----------------------------------------------------
A. The term of this Sublease (the "Term") shall commence on the
----
Commencement Date and shall expire on the earlier of: (i) the date (the
"Expiration Date") that is five (5) business days prior to the Expiration Date
---------------
of Prime Lease as specified in Section 1(F); or (ii) the expiration or sooner
------------
termination of the Prime Lease, unless sooner terminated as otherwise provided
elsewhere in this Sublease. If the address of the Prime Premises is listed on
Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (each of such locations is
---------
referred to herein as an "Underutilized Site"), Sublandlord shall have the right
------------------
to terminate this Sublease at any time during the Term by providing Subtenant at
least 120 days' prior notice that this Sublease shall terminate effective on the
date specified in such notice. Subtenant shall have no obligation to pay Rent
(as defined in Section 7) with respect to any period not within the Term.
---------
B. In addition to the remedies set forth in Section 24, if the Prime
----------
Premises are an Underutilized Site or if Subtenant does not use and occupy all
or any portion of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area in conformity (in size,
scope, use or otherwise) with Sublandlord's corporate standards, a copy of which
are attached hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit C (the "Corporate
--------- ---------
Standards"), then Sublandlord shall
---------
-2-
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate this Sublease with respect
to all or such portion of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area that is not in
compliance with the Corporate Standards (the "Recapture Space") by providing
---------------
written notice to Subtenant, which notice shall state whether or not a
substantial renovation (as defined below) will be required as a result of
Sublandlord's exercise of its recapture right; provided, however, Sublandlord
-------- -------
shall not exercise the foregoing recapture right if the PBOS Licensed/Subleased
Area after exercise of such recapture right and completion of any tenant
improvement work as set forth in clause (ii)(c) below will not comply with the
Corporate Standards. If Sublandlord's recapture notice states that a substantial
renovation will be required as a result of Sublandlord's exercise of its
recapture right or if Sublandlord's exercise of its recapture right will
materially and adversely affect the ability of Subtenant to conduct its business
at the remaining PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area, then Subtenant shall have the
right to terminate this Sublease by providing written notice to Sublandlord of
its election within ten (10) days after receipt of the recapture notice; the
effective date of such termination shall be the date that is 120 days after
receipt of the recapture notice. If: (i) Sublandlord's recapture notice states
that a substantial renovation will not be required as a result of Sublandlord's
exercise of its recapture right; or (ii) Subtenant does not exercise its
termination right pursuant to the preceding sentence within the required time
period, then effective on the 15th day after receipt of Sublandlord's recapture
notice: (a) the Recapture Space shall be deemed part of the PBI Space and no
longer part of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area; (b) Rent and Subtenant's Share
shall be adjusted, if at all, to reflect the new square footage comprising the
PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area, as set forth in more detail below; and (c)
Sublandlord shall, at Sublandlord's expense, cause all work reasonably necessary
to complete any tenant improvements reasonably required, in Sublandlord's
judgment, to implement the reduction in the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area. As
used herein, a "substantial renovation" shall be deemed to exist where the total
construction costs attributable to the Prime Premises are estimated by
Sublandlord to be more than $5 per square foot. Effective immediately upon the
recapture of space by Sublandlord pursuant to this subsection 4(B): (1) Minimum
---------------
Rent shall equal the product of the following three numbers: (x) 120; (y) the
number of Subtenant's employees and contract workers including, but not limited
to, management, sales, service and support personnel reflected on a current
population report for the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area; and (z) the Cost Per
Square Foot (as set forth in Exhibit A, line 1(E)), but in no event shall
----------
Minimum Rent be increased to a number greater than the Minimum Rent number
applicable prior to such recapture so long as the number described in clause (y)
immediately above did not increase over the number provided to Sublandlord for
such category at the execution of this Sublease; and (2) Subtenant's Share shall
equal the product of: (i) 120; and (ii) the number of Subtenant's employees and
contract workers including, but not limited to, management, sales, service and
support personnel reflected on a current population report for the PBOS
Licensed/Subleased Area, divided by the Rentable Square Feet of the Prime
Premises as set forth in Exhibit A, line 1(E), but in no event shall Subtenant's
---------
Share be increased to a number greater than the Subtenant's Share number
applicable prior to such recapture so long as the number described in clause
(ii) immediately above did not increase over the number provided to Sublandlord
for such category at the execution of this Sublease. Under no circumstance shall
Sublandlord be obligated, following the termination by Subtenant of its use of
all or a portion of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area in conformity with the
Corporate Standards, to terminate this Sublease with respect to all or such
portion; absent such a termination by Sublandlord under this Section, this
Sublease shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to the terms hereof.
5. POSSESSION. Subtenant has inspected the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area and
----------
the building of which the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area is a part (the
"Building") and hereby accepts the same "as is," without any warranties,
--------
representations or obligations (either express or implied) on the part of
Sublandlord or Prime Landlord to perform any fit-ups, maintenance, alterations,
improvements, replacements, repairs, work or other services thereto, except as
specifically set forth in Section 14. Subtenant's initial occupancy of the PBOS
----------
Licensed/Subleased Area shall be deemed to be an acknowledgment by Subtenant
that the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area is in good and tenantable order and that
Subtenant accepts the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area.

[OSD and PBI Share Space]
6. USE. Subject to the limitations on use set forth in the Prime Lease and
---
Legal Requirements (as defined below), but further subject to subsection 4(B)
---------------
above, each of Sublandlord and Subtenant shall have the right to use and occupy
the Prime Premises only for the use for which the Prime Premises are currently
used and in conformity with Sublandlord's Corporate Standards as historically
applied, and for no other uses. During the Term, neither party shall use any
part of the Prime Premises for any purpose that is competitive to the other
party's business, as contemplated by that certain Distribution Agreement to be
entered into between Sublandlord and Subtenant as of the Commencement Date. As
used herein, "Legal Requirements" shall mean every statute, law (including,
------------------
without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, ordinance,
code, regulation, order, permit, approval, license, judgment, restriction or
rule of any federal, state, county, municipal or local government and all
departments, commissions, boards, bureaus and offices thereof having or claiming
jurisdiction over the Property (a "Governmental Authority") or other public or
----------------------
quasi-public body, agency, court, department, bureau or authority having
jurisdiction over the subject matter. Each party shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other in connection with this Sublease.
7. RENT.

A. MINIMUM RENT. Beginning on the Commencement Date, Subtenant shall
------------
pay Minimum Rent to Sublandlord via electronic funds transfer at the address
specified in Section 1(K), or to such other payee or at such other address as
may be designated by notice in writing from Sublandlord to Subtenant, without
prior demand therefor and without any deduction or offset whatsoever. Except as
specifically set forth herein, Minimum Rent includes Subtenant's Share of real
estate taxes, operating expenses, insurance, utilities and amortization of
leasehold improvements to the extent Sublandlord is required to pay such costs
pursuant to the Prime Lease. Minimum Rent for each calendar month shall be paid
in equal monthly installments in advance on the day that is three (3) business
days prior to the first day of each calendar month of the Term, except that the
first installment of Minimum Rent shall be paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord on
or prior to the Commencement Date. Minimum Rent shall be pro-rated (based on a
30-day month) for partial months at the beginning and end of the Term.
B. ADDITIONAL RENT.
---------------
(i) Extraordinary Expenses. Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord
----------------------
for Subtenant's Share of any and all other reasonable expenses incurred or
payable by Sublandlord in connection with the leasing of the PBOS
Licensed/Subleased Area, regardless of the payee for such expenses, and
Subtenant shall pay such expenses as additional rent hereunder. Any expense
incurred by Sublandlord pursuant to the Prime Lease shall be deemed a reasonable
expense. Sublandlord shall send a ▇▇▇▇ to Subtenant for such additional rent.
Such payment shall be due from Subtenant to Sublandlord no fewer than three (3)
business days prior to the date upon which Sublandlord's payment of such
additional rent is due from Sublandlord, provided Subtenant shall have been
billed therefor at least five (5) business days prior to such due date, or, if
Subtenant shall have been billed less than five (5) business days prior to such
due date, such payment shall be due within three (3) business days.
(ii) Administrative Fee. At the same time and in the same manner as
------------------
Minimum Rent is payable hereunder, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord as additional
rent a monthly administrative fee equal to two percent (2%) of the total Rent
payable for such month.
(iii) Interest. All Rent payments not received by Sublandlord when due
--------
shall bear interest at the rate equal to the lesser of: (i) the prime rate as
announced from time to time by Chase Manhattan Bank or its successor plus (x)
with respect to Rent payments made within five (5) business days after the date
due, 2% per annum and (y) with respect to Rent payments made over five (5)
business
-4-
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
days after the date due, 4% per annum; or (ii) the highest rate permitted under
applicable law, until payment is received by Sublandlord.
C. RENT. All charges, costs and sums required to be paid by Subtenant to
----
Sublandlord under this Sublease, including without limitation all payments due
from Subtenant under Section 7(B), shall be deemed "Additional Rent," and
------------ ---------------
Minimum Rent and Additional Rent shall collectively be referred to herein as
"Rent." All Rent payable by Subtenant hereunder shall be made without any
-----
deduction or offset whatsoever and shall be made to Sublandlord via electronic
funds transfer. Subtenant's covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every
other covenant in this Sublease.
8. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Sublandlord represents that it has full power and
---------------
authority to enter into this Sublease, subject to the consent of Prime Landlord,
if required under the Prime Lease. So long as Subtenant is not in default in
the performance of its covenants and agreements in this Sublease beyond the
expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Subtenant's quiet and
peaceable enjoyment of the Subleased Premises shall not be disturbed or
interfered with by Sublandlord, or by any person claiming by, through, or under
Sublandlord, but subject to the terms of the Prime Lease and this Sublease, and
to Sublandlord's rights thereunder and hereunder.
9. SUBTENANT'S INSURANCE. Subtenant shall procure and maintain, at its own
---------------------
cost and expense, such liability insurance as is required to be carried by
Sublandlord under the Prime Lease, naming as additional insureds Sublandlord,
Prime Landlord and any others required by Prime Landlord, and such property
insurance as is required to be carried by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease to
the extent such property insurance pertains to the Subleased Premises. If the
Prime Lease requires Sublandlord to insure leasehold improvements or
alterations, then Subtenant shall insure such leasehold improvements that are
located in the Subleased Premises, as well as alterations in the Subleased
Premises made by Subtenant. Subtenant shall furnish to Sublandlord a
certificate of Subtenant's insurance required hereunder not later than ten (10)
days prior to the Commencement Date and new certificates annually thereafter,
but in no event less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the
current certificate. Each party hereby waives claims against the other for
property damage provided such waiver shall not invalidate the waiving party's
property insurance; each party shall obtain from its insurance carrier a waiver
of its right of subrogation. Subtenant hereby waives claims against Prime
Landlord and Sublandlord for property damage to the Subleased Premises or its
contents if and to the extent that Sublandlord waives such claims against Prime
Landlord under the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall obtain, for the benefit of
Prime Landlord and Sublandlord, such waivers of subrogation rights from its
insurer as are required of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall
continue to comply with its obligations under the Prime Lease with respect to
maintaining insurance.
10. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLETTING.
------------------------
A. SUBTENANT'S RIGHT. Subject to Prime Landlord's consent if required
-----------------
under the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall not, without Sublandlord's prior consent,
which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, for any reason or no
reason: (i) assign, convey, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge, encumber or otherwise
transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, this Sublease or any interest
hereunder; (ii) allow any transfer thereof or any lien upon Subtenant's interest
by operation of law or otherwise; (iii) further sublet or license the PBOS
Licensed/Subleased Area or any part thereof; (iv) list the PBOS
Licensed/Subleased Area or any part thereof as available for assignment or
sublease with any broker or agent or otherwise advertise, post, communicate or
solicit prospective assignees or subtenants through any direct or indirect
means; or (v) permit the occupancy of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area or any
part thereof by anyone other than Subtenant and Sublandlord (the foregoing
actions are collectively referred to herein as a "Transfer"). The following
--------
shall each be deemed a Transfer for purposes of this Section: (a) any transfer
(or sequence of related transfers resulting, in the aggregate, in the transfer)
of
-5-
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
50% or more of the beneficial ownership of Subtenant; (b) any dissolution,
merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Subtenant; and (c) the sale of
50% or more in the aggregate of the value of the assets of Subtenant. Any
Transfer consummated without Sublandlord's consent shall be deemed void ab
initio and the transferee shall acquire no rights and neither Sublandlord nor
Prime Landlord shall recognize any such transfer. In no event shall Sublandlord
be obligated to consider a consent to any proposed Transfer if a Subtenant Event
of Default (as defined in Section 23) then exists under this Sublease, or a fact
----------
or condition exists that, but for the giving of notice or the passage of time,
would constitute a Subtenant Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing
restrictions and limitations on Transfers, following the occurrence of a
Subtenant Event of Default hereunder and the termination of this Sublease by
Sublandlord or the commencement by Sublandlord of the exercise of its remedies
relating to the Subtenant Event of Default, if: (i) Subtenant has provided
Sublandlord with written notice of the name of Subtenant's secured lender (the
"Secured Lender") prior to the occurrence of said Subtenant Event of Default;
--------------
(ii) the Secured Lender has a lien on any of Subtenant's personal property
assets located at the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area; (iii) the Secured Lender has
paid or caused to be paid to Sublandlord all Minimum Rent and Additional Rent
owed and unpaid from Subtenant to Sublandlord through and including the last day
of the 45 day period described below; and (iv) the Secured Lender shall agree in
writing to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord from and against any
and all losses, costs, liabilities and expenses suffered or incurred by
Sublandlord as a result of Secured Lender having access to the PBOS
Licensed/Subleased Area, then Sublandlord shall, for 30 days following the
termination of this Sublease or the commencement by Sublandlord of the exercise
of its remedies hereunder, provide the Secured Lender with reasonable access
during ordinary business hours to the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area solely for
the purpose of allowing the Secured Lender to gain access to its collateral then
located in the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area for the purpose of exercising its
rights and remedies as a secured lender in accordance with all applicable law.
B. SUBLANDLORD'S RIGHT. Subject to Prime Landlord's consent if required
-------------------
under the Prime Lease, Sublandlord shall not Transfer this Sublease without
Subtenant's prior consent, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute
discretion, for any reason or no reason. Any Transfer consummated without
Subtenant's reasonable consent shall be deemed void ab initio and the transferee
shall acquire no rights and neither Subtenant nor Prime Landlord shall recognize
any such transfer. In no event shall Subtenant be obligated to consider a
consent to any proposed Transfer if a Sublandlord Event of Default (as defined
in Section 25) then exists under this Sublease, or a fact or condition exists
----------
that, but for the giving of notice or the passage of time, would constitute a
Sublandlord Event of Default.
11. OPTIONS PERSONAL TO SUBLANDLORD. Sublandlord expressly reserves, and
-------------------------------
does not grant to Subtenant under this Sublease, any and all options of
Sublandlord under the Prime Lease to: (i) expand or reduce the area of the Prime
Premises; (ii) terminate the Prime Lease upon a casualty or condemnation, on a
particular date or otherwise; (iii) renew or extend the term of the Prime Lease,
and all similar rights of Sublandlord; or (iv) purchase all or any part of the
Property, and all similar rights of Sublandlord. If Sublandlord notifies
Subtenant in writing that it does not wish to exercise any such option under the
Prime Lease and Prime Landlord agrees in writing to release Sublandlord from all
liability under the Prime Lease, then effective as of such release of
Sublandlord, this Sublease shall include the grant of such option subject to the
terms of the Prime Lease. Further, in anticipation of the expiration or
termination of the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall not negotiate or enter into any
agreement with Prime Landlord with respect to the leasing of all or any portion
of the Prime Premises unless Subtenant shall have first obtained a written
confirmation from Sublandlord that Sublandlord does not wish to lease all or
such portion of the Prime Premises.
12. RULES. Subtenant shall comply with all rules and regulations that Prime
-----
Landlord and/or Sublandlord has made or may reasonably hereafter from time to
time make for the Building, including without limitation those rules and
regulations of Sublandlord set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto and
---------
-6-
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
made a part hereof, as they may reasonably be amended from time to time,
provided such rules are applicable to all occupants of the Prime Premises.
Sublandlord shall not be liable in any way for damage caused by the non-
observance by any of the other tenants of the Building of such similar covenants
in their leases or of such rules and regulations.
13. CONFLICT IN TERMS. If any provision of this Sublease (express or implied)
-----------------
shall be in conflict with the terms of the Prime Lease, the terms of this
Sublease shall control except to the extent a default under the Prime Lease
would result therefrom.
14. REPAIRS; COMPLIANCE.
-------------------
A. Sublandlord shall, to the extent of Sublandlord's express obligations
under the Prime Lease, be responsible for all maintenance, repairs and
replacements with respect to the Prime Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) Sublandlord shall not be required to commence (by means of example only, by
soliciting bids) any repair required of it under this Section with regard to any
part of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area until the expiration of five (5)
business days after receipt of notice from Subtenant that such repair is
necessary; (ii) Subtenant shall promptly notify Sublandlord of any repairs
necessary to any part of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area and shall indemnify
Sublandlord for any liability incurred as a result of Subtenant's failure to
notify Sublandlord promptly of any necessary repairs to the Subleased Premises;
and (iii) Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord as Additional Rent, within
fifteen (15) days following Subtenant's receipt of an invoice therefor, for: (x)
all costs incurred by Sublandlord for repairs with respect to the Subleased
Premises; (y) Subtenant's Share of the costs incurred by Sublandlord for repairs
with respect to the Licensed Space for which Sublandlord is responsible under
this Sublease; and (z) all costs incurred by Sublandlord resulting from the
negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant or Subtenant's employees, agents,
contractors or invitees (collectively, "Subtenant's Representatives").
---------------------------
B. Subtenant shall, at Subtenant's expense, comply with all Legal
Requirements and the requirements of all insurance bodies and their fire
prevention engineers at any time in force, applicable to the Subleased Premises
or to Subtenant's particular use or manner of use of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased
Area, except that Subtenant shall not hereby be under any obligation to comply
with any law, ordinance, rule or regulation requiring any structural alteration
of or in connection with the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area, unless such
alteration is required by reason of: (i) Subtenant's particular use or manner of
use of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area; (ii) a condition that has been created
by Subtenant or Subtenant's Representatives; or (iii) a breach of any of
Subtenant's covenants and agreements hereunder, or such alteration is required
to be performed by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease. As used herein "structure"
or "structural" shall have the definition ascribed to it in the Prime Lease or
if no specific definition is given therein "structure" or "structural" shall
mean that portion of the Building that is integral to the integrity of the
Building as an existing enclosed unit and shall, in any event, include footings,
foundation, outside walls, skeleton, bearing columns and interior bearing walls,
floor slabs, roof and roofing system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Prime Lease imposes greater obligations on Sublandlord with respect to the
foregoing, then Subtenant shall also comply with such provisions of the Prime
Lease as if Subtenant were named therein in lieu of Sublandlord.
15. FIRE OR CASUALTY OR EMINENT DOMAIN. In the event of a fire or other
----------------------------------
casualty affecting the Building or the Prime Premises, or of a taking of all or
a part of the Building or the Prime Premises under the power of eminent domain,
Sublandlord shall have the right to exercise any right that may have the effect
of terminating the Prime Lease, provided when Sublandlord sends its notice to
Prime Landlord exercising such right, Sublandlord simultaneously sends a copy
thereof to Subtenant. If Sublandlord is entitled, under the Prime Lease, to a
rent abatement as a result of a fire or other casualty or as a result of a
taking under the power of eminent domain, then Subtenant shall be entitled to
such rent abatement in
-7-
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
proportion to the amount of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area that is rendered
untenantable. If the Prime Lease imposes on Sublandlord the obligation to repair
or restore leasehold improvements or alterations, Sublandlord shall be
responsible for repair or restoration of such leasehold improvements or
alterations, and Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord in accordance with
subsection 14(A)(iii) for the expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection
---------------------
with said repair or restoration.
16. ALTERATIONS. Subtenant shall not make any alterations in or additions to
-----------
the Licensed Space. Subtenant shall not make any alterations in or additions to
the Subleased Premises ("Alterations") if to do so would constitute a default
-----------
under the Prime Lease or if the Alteration is required to be removed at the end
of the term of the Prime Lease pursuant to the terms thereof (in either case, a
"Prohibited Alteration"). If Subtenant wishes to make an Alteration to the
---------------------
Subleased Premises that is not a Prohibited Alteration, Sublandlord's consent
thereto shall nonetheless be required, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and if Sublandlord consents thereto, Sublandlord shall use reasonable
efforts to obtain the consent of Prime Landlord if such consent is required
under the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with a copy of the
architectural plans for any requested Alteration for Sublandlord's review and
consent; provided, however, Sublandlord's consent to an Alteration shall in no
-------- -------
way be construed as an approval of the suitability of the plans therefor for
construction. If Alterations by Subtenant are permitted or consented to as
required herein, Subtenant shall comply with all of the covenants of Sublandlord
contained in the Prime Lease pertaining to the performance of such Alterations.
In addition, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord
against liability, loss, cost, damage, liens and expense imposed on Sublandlord
arising out of the performance of Alterations by Subtenant, including without
limitation Sublandlord's expenses incurred in connection with the review of
Subtenant's plans. If Sublandlord consents to an Alteration, Sublandlord may,
but shall not be required to, elect to perform or cause to be performed the work
necessary to complete such Alteration at Subtenant's cost. Upon completion of
the Alteration, Subtenant shall pay within ten (10) days after receipt of an
invoice therefor, Sublandlord's actual costs and expenses incurred by
Sublandlord in connection therewith, including without limitation for architects
and for project management, together with an administrative fee in the amount of
three percent (3%) of the total cost of the Alteration.
17. SURRENDER. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, or
---------
upon the termination of Subtenant's right to possession of all or any part of
the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area, Subtenant shall at once surrender and deliver
up the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area, together with all improvements thereon and
Alterations thereto, to Sublandlord in good condition and repair, reasonable
wear and tear excepted, and in any event in at least the condition required
under the Prime Lease. Subtenant shall surrender to Sublandlord all keys to any
part of the Prime Premises and make known to Sublandlord the combination of all
combination locks that Subtenant is permitted to leave on the PBOS
Licensed/Subleased Area. All Alterations in or upon the Subleased Premises made
by Subtenant shall become a part of and shall remain upon the Subleased Premises
upon such termination without compensation, allowance or credit to Subtenant.
Subtenant shall also remove any improvements to the Premises, or portions
thereof, that Prime Landlord may require Sublandlord to remove pursuant to the
terms of the Prime Lease. Further, Subtenant shall remove any telephone,
computer or similar cabling or wiring installed in the Building by or on behalf
of Subtenant. Subtenant shall restore the Subleased Premises to their condition
prior to the making of such Alteration, repairing any damage occasioned by such
removal or restoration to Sublandlord's satisfaction on or prior to the end of
the Term. If Sublandlord or Prime Landlord requires removal of any improvements
to the Premises, or portions thereof, and Subtenant does not make such removal
in accordance with this Section, Sublandlord may remove the same (and repair any
damage occasioned thereby), and dispose thereof, or at its election, warehouse
the same. Subtenant shall pay the costs of such removal, repair and warehousing
on demand.
18. REMOVAL OF SUBTENANT'S PROPERTY. Upon the expiration of this Sublease,
-------------------------------
Subtenant shall remove Subtenant's articles of personal property incident to
Subtenant's business (collectively, "Trade
-----
-8-
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
Fixtures"); provided, however, Subtenant shall repair any injury or damage to
-------- -------- -------
the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area that may result from such removal and shall
restore the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area to the same condition as prior to the
commencement of the Prime Lease to Sublandlord's satisfaction on or prior to the
end of the Term. If Subtenant does not remove Subtenant's Trade Fixtures from
the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area prior to the expiration or earlier termination
of the Term, Sublandlord may, at its option, remove the same (and repair any
damage occasioned thereby and restore the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area as
aforesaid) and dispose thereof or deliver the same to any other place of
business of Subtenant, or warehouse the same, and Subtenant shall pay the cost
of such removal, repair, restoration, delivery or warehousing to Sublandlord on
demand, or Sublandlord may treat Trade Fixtures as having been conveyed to
Sublandlord with this Sublease as a ▇▇▇▇ of sale, without further payment or
credit by Sublandlord to Subtenant.
19. HOLDING OVER. Subtenant shall have no right to occupy the PBOS
------------
Licensed/Subleased Area or any portion thereof after the expiration of this
Sublease or after termination of this Sublease or Subtenant's right to
possession in consequence of a Subtenant Event of Default. If Subtenant or any
party claiming by, through or under Subtenant holds over, Sublandlord may
exercise any and all remedies available to it at law or in equity to recover
possession of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area and to recover damages, including
without limitation, damages payable by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord by reason
of such holdover. For each and every month or partial month that Subtenant or
any party claiming by, through or under Subtenant remains in occupancy of all or
any portion of the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area after the expiration of this
Sublease or after termination of this Sublease or Subtenant's right to
possession, Subtenant shall pay, as minimum damages and not as a penalty,
monthly rental at a rate equal to double the rate of Minimum Rent and all
additional rent payable by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease
immediately prior to the expiration or other termination of this Sublease or of
Subtenant's right to possession. The acceptance by Sublandlord of any lesser
sum shall be construed as payment on account and not in satisfaction of damages
for such holding over. If Subtenant fails to surrender the PBOS
Licensed/Subleased Area upon the expiration or termination of this Sublease,
Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord from all costs,
loss, expense or liability, including without limitation, claims made by Prime
Landlord, claims made by any succeeding tenant and real estate brokers' claims
and attorneys' fees. No acceptance by Sublandlord of any Rent during or for any
period following the expiration or termination of this Sublease shall operate or
be construed as an extension or renewal of this Sublease.
20. ENCUMBERING TITLE. Subtenant shall not do any act that shall in any way
-----------------
encumber the title of Prime Landlord in and to the Building or the Property, nor
shall the interest or estate of Prime Landlord or Sublandlord be in any way
subject to any claim by way of lien or encumbrance, whether by operation of law
by virtue of any express or implied contract by Subtenant, or by reason of any
other act or omission of Subtenant. Any claim to, or lien upon, the PBOS
Licensed/Subleased Area, the Building or the Property arising from any act or
omission of Subtenant shall accrue only against the subleasehold estate of
Subtenant and shall be subject and subordinate to the paramount title and rights
of Prime Landlord in and to the Building and the Property and the interest of
Sublandlord in the Prime Premises. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Subtenant shall not permit the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area, the
Building or the Property to become subject to any mechanics', laborers' or
materialmen's lien on account of labor or material furnished to Subtenant or
claimed to have been furnished to Subtenant in connection with work of any
character performed or claimed to have been performed on the PBOS
Licensed/Subleased Area by Subtenant or Subtenant's Representatives; provided,
--------
however, if so permitted to Sublandlord under the Prime Lease, Subtenant shall
-------
have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence, the
validity of any such lien or claimed lien if Subtenant shall give to Prime
Landlord and Sublandlord such security as may be deemed satisfactory to them to
assure payment thereof and to prevent any sale, foreclosure, or forfeiture of
the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area, the Building or the Property by reason of
nonpayment thereof; provided, further, on final determination of the
-------- -------
-9
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
lien or claim of lien, Subtenant shall immediately pay any judgment rendered,
with all proper costs and charges, and shall have the lien released and any
judgment satisfied.
21. INDEMNITY. Subtenant shall indemnify Sublandlord and hold Sublandlord
---------
harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities and expenses that Sublandlord may
incur, or for which Sublandlord may be liable to Prime Landlord, arising from
the acts or omissions of Subtenant that are the subject matter of any indemnity
or hold harmless of Sublandlord to Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease.
22. SUBLANDLORD'S RIGHT TO ACCESS. Sublandlord reserves the right, on
-----------------------------
reasonable prior notice, to inspect the Subleased Premises, to access the
Subleased Premises to perform any maintenance obligations imposed on Sublandlord
under Section 14, or to exhibit the Subleased Premises to persons having a
----------
legitimate interest at any time during the Term. Sublandlord further reserves
Prime Landlord's right of access to the PBOS Licensed/Subleased Area to the
extent, if any, reserved by Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease.
23. DEFAULTS. Any one or more of the following events shall be considered a
--------
"Subtenant Event of Default" hereunder:

this Sublease and either such default shall continue for five (5) days after
notice thereof in writing to Subtenant; or

the Prime Lease and such default shall not be cured within the time, if any,
permitted for such cure under the Prime Lease; or
L. If Subtenant shall default in any of the other covenants and agreements
herein contained to be kept, observed and performed by Subtenant, and such
default shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof in writing to

remedied within such thirty (30)-day period, if Subtenant does not promptly
institute and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary
to remedy the default after receipt of notice thereof.
24. SUBLANDLORD REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of any one or more Subtenant
--------------------
Events of Default, Sublandlord shall have the right to: (i) exercise any remedy
against Subtenant that Prime Landlord may exercise for an event of default by
Sublandlord beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period under
the Prime Lease; and (ii) pursue all available remedies in equity or at law.

completely remedied within such thirty (30)-day period, if Sublandlord does not

------------
time to time designate by notice in writing to Subtenant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, rejection or other refusal to accept a notice, request or demand, or
the inability to deliver because of a changed address of which no notice was
given, shall be deemed to be actual receipt thereof. Each of Subtenant and
Sublandlord shall promptly deliver to the other a copy of each notice, demand,
request, consent or approval to or from Prime Landlord.
27. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PRIME LEASE AND THIS SUBLEASE. This Sublease and all
--------------------------------------------------
the rights of parties hereunder are subject and subordinate to the Prime Lease.
Each party shall not, by its act or omission to act, cause a default under the
Prime Lease. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereby confirm, each
to the other, that it is not practical in this Sublease to enumerate all of the
rights and obligations of the various parties under the Prime Lease and
specifically to allocate those rights and obligations in this Sublease.
Accordingly, in order to afford to Subtenant the benefits of this Sublease and
of those provisions of the Prime Lease that by their nature are intended to
benefit the party in possession of the Subleased Premises, and in order to
protect Sublandlord against a default by Subtenant that might cause a default or
event of default by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease:
A. Provided Subtenant shall timely pay all Rent when and as due under this
Sublease, Sublandlord shall pay, when and as due, all base rent, additional rent
and other charges payable by Sublandlord to Prime Landlord under the Prime
Lease;
B. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Sublandlord shall perform
its covenants and obligations under the Prime Lease that do not require for
their performance possession of the Subleased Premises and that are not
otherwise to be performed hereunder by Subtenant on behalf of Sublandlord. For
example, Sublandlord shall at all times keep in full force and effect all
insurance required of Sublandlord as tenant under the Prime Lease.
C. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Subtenant shall perform
all affirmative covenants and shall refrain from performing any act that is
prohibited by the negative covenants of the Prime Lease, where the obligation to
perform or refrain from performing is by its nature imposed upon the party in
possession of the Subleased Premises. If possible, Subtenant shall perform such
affirmative
-12-
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
covenants that are also covenants of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease at least
five (5) business days prior to the date when Sublandlord's performance is
required under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to enter the Subleased Premises to cure any default by Subtenant
under this Section.
D. Sublandlord grants to Subtenant the right to receive all of the services
and benefits with respect to the Subleased Premises that are to be provided by
Prime Landlord under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall have no duty to perform
any obligations of Prime Landlord that are, by their nature, the obligation of
an owner or manager of real property. For example, Sublandlord shall not be
required to provide the services or repairs that Prime Landlord is required to
provide under the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall have no responsibility for or
be liable to Subtenant for any default, failure or delay on the part of Prime
Landlord in the performance or observance by Prime Landlord of any of its
obligations under the Prime Lease, nor shall such default by Prime Landlord
affect this Sublease or waive or defer the performance of any of Subtenant's
obligations hereunder except to the extent that such default by Prime Landlord
excuses performance by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease.
28. PRIME LANDLORD'S CONSENT. This Sublease and the obligations of the parties
------------------------
hereunder are expressly conditioned upon Sublandlord's obtaining prior written
consent hereto by Prime Landlord, if such written consent is required under the
Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
such consent. Subtenant shall promptly deliver to Sublandlord any information
reasonably requested by Prime Landlord (in connection with Prime Landlord's
approval of this Sublease) with respect to the nature and operation of
Subtenant's business and/or the financial condition of Subtenant. This Sublease
and Prime Landlord's consent hereto shall not: (a) create privity of contract
between Prime Landlord and Subtenant; (b) be deemed to have amended the Prime
Lease in any regard (unless Prime Landlord shall have expressly agreed in
writing to such amendment); or (c) be construed as a waiver of Prime Landlord's
right to consent to any assignment of the Prime Lease by Sublandlord or any
further subletting of the Prime Premises, or as a waiver of Prime Landlord's
right to consent to any assignment by Subtenant of this Sublease or any sub-
subletting of the Subleased Premises or any part thereof. If Prime Landlord's
consent to this Sublease is required pursuant to the Prime Lease, and if
Sublandlord reasonably believes that Sublandlord will be placed in default of
the Prime Lease by Prime Landlord because of the existence of this Sublease,
then Sublandlord shall have the right to terminate immediately this Sublease by
giving written notice thereof to Subtenant at any time thereafter, but before
Prime Landlord grants such consent.
29. BROKERAGE. Each party warrants to the other that it has had no dealings
---------
with any broker or agent in connection with this Sublease and covenants to hold
harmless and indemnify the other party from and against any and all costs
(including reasonable attorneys' fees), expense or liability for any
compensation, commissions and charges claimed by any broker or agent with
respect to this Sublease or the negotiation thereof on behalf of such party.
30. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be deemed in default with respect to
-------------
any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease if such party's
failure to timely perform is due in whole or in part to any strike, lockout,
labor trouble (whether legal or illegal), civil disorder, failure of power,
restrictive governmental laws and regulations, riots, insurrections, war,
shortages, accidents, casualties, acts of God, acts caused directly by the other
party or its agents, employees and invitees or any other cause beyond the
reasonable control of a party other than an insufficiency of funds. This
Section shall not be applicable, however, if the failure to perform timely
creates a default under the Prime Lease.
31. PARKING. Subtenant shall have the right to use Subtenant's Share of the
-------
number of parking spaces, if any, that Sublandlord has the right to use pursuant
to the Prime Lease, subject to the terms of the Prime Lease.
-13-
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
32. SIGNAGE. At Subtenant's cost, Sublandlord shall cooperate with Subtenant
-------
in obtaining any additional signage that Subtenant may request. Any such
request shall be made by Subtenant in writing to Sublandlord. Subtenant shall,
subject to the Prime Lease, modify all signage identifying Subtenant at the
Building, if any, so as to comply with Legal Requirements, including without
limitation, the termination of any licensing contracts with Sublandlord.
33. COOPERATION; ARBITRATION.
------------------------
A. Each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
cooperate and not to compete with the other party and act in good faith in
connection with this Sublease. The parties hereto shall not have been deemed to
have agreed to the resolution of any dispute arising out this Sublease by
arbitration unless resolution in such manner is required by the terms of the
Prime Lease or shall have been specifically provided for in this Sublease.
Disputes under the following sections of this Sublease shall be resolved by
arbitration: 10 and 15. Every dispute between the parties that is expressly
provided in this Sublease to be resolved by arbitration shall be resolved in the
manner provided in this Section.
B. The party requesting arbitration shall do so by giving notice to that
effect to the other party, and the parties shall have ten (10) days within which
to select one mutually agreeable arbitrator. If the parties fail to agree on
one arbitrator within the ten (10)-day period, either party may promptly request
the American Arbitration Association (the "Association") to appoint one (1)
-----------
arbitrator for the matter, and, in the absence of an identifiable conflict of
interest or demonstrable bias, the Association's selection shall be binding upon
Sublandlord and Subtenant. The Association shall appoint as arbitrator an
individual with the following qualifications: at least ten (10) years'
experience in the business of commercial real estate (which experience shall be
deemed by the Association to be relevant to the pending dispute between
Sublandlord and Subtenant) and never been a direct or indirect employee or agent
of either Sublandlord or Subtenant.
C. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions
hereof and to the extent consistent with this Section, in accordance with the
then-prevailing commercial rules of the Association in the locality in which the
Prime Premises are located. The arbitrator shall have the right to retain and
consult experts and competent authorities skilled in arbitration. The
arbitrator shall render his or her decision and award within 30 days after the
final hearing. Such decision and award shall be in writing and counterpart
copies thereof shall be delivered to each of the parties.
D. The expenses of arbitration shall be apportioned between the parties
by the arbitrator, including counsel fees, audit costs, experts and
presentations of proof. The arbitrator may, however, determine that the
unsuccessful party shall pay all of such costs, including all costs incurred by
the successful party.
34. ENVIRONMENTAL OBLIGATIONS. Each of Subtenant and Sublandlord covenants
-------------------------
that no Hazardous Materials (as defined below) will be brought onto or stored or
used in the Prime Premises by such party or its respective employees, agents,
contractors and invitees (collectively, "Representatives"), except in compliance
---------------
with all Legal Requirements. Each party shall hold harmless, indemnify and
defend the other from and against any Environmental Damages (as defined below)
resulting from events occurring on or about the Property caused by the

the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as
amended (42 U.S.C. (S)(S)9601 et seq.), the Toxic Substances Control Act, as
amended (15 U.S.C. (S)(S)2601 et seq.), or the Hazardous Materials
Transportation Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. (S)(S)1801 et seq.); or (vi) any other
chemical, material, gas or substance, the exposure to or release of which is or
may hereafter be prohibited, limited or regulated by any governmental or quasi-
governmental entity having jurisdiction over the Property or the operations or
activity at the Property, or any chemical, material, gas or substance that does
or may pose a hazard to the health or safety of the occupants of the Property or
the occupants of property adjacent to the Property. "Environmental Damages"
---------------------
shall mean all claims, judgments, damages (including punitive damages), losses,
penalties, fines, liabilities (including strict liability), encumbrances and
liens, and any other costs and expenses, resulting from the existence on or in,
or release to, the ground or air, of Hazardous Materials in violation of, or
alleged to be in violation of, the Legal Requirements applicable thereto,
including any attorneys' fees, disbursements, consultant's fees and other costs
resulting from: (i) investigation and defense of any alleged claim; (ii)
directive of any Governmental Authorities, whether or not the claims or
directives are groundless, false or fraudulent, or are ultimately defeated; and
(iii) any settlement or judgment.
35. MISCELLANEOUS.
-------------
A. BUSINESS DAYS. As herein, the term "business days" shall mean all days
-------------
except Saturdays, Sundays and any day that national banks operating in the
State of Connecticut are required or are authorized to close.
B. SUCCESSORS. The terms, covenants and conditions contained in this
----------
Sublease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties with
the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party is named or
referred to, except that no violation of the provisions of Section 11 shall
----------
operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee or Subtenant.
C. ENTIRE AGREEMENT AND AMENDMENTS. This Sublease contains the entire
-------------------------------
agreement between the parties, and all prior negotiations and agreements are
merged in this Sublease. This Sublease may not be changed, modified or
discharged, in whole or in part, except by a written instrument executed by the

record.
G. COUNTERPARTS. This Sublease may be executed in any number of

counterparts, each of which upon execution and delivery shall be considered an

-------- -------
together, upon execution and delivery, constitute one and the same instrument.
H. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES; WAIVER. All of the remedies given to a party in
---------------------------
this Sublease in the event of default by the other party are in addition to all
other rights or remedies to which the first party may be entitled at law or in
equity; all such remedies shall be deemed cumulative and the
-15-
[OSD and PBI Share Space]
election of one shall not be deemed a waiver of any other or further rights or
remedies. The failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances
upon the strict performance of any one or more of the agreements, terms,
covenants, conditions or obligations of this Sublease, or to exercise any right,
remedy or election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or
relinquishment of the future of the performance of such one or more obligations
of this Sublease or of the right to exercise such election, but the same shall
continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent
breach, act or omission, whether of a similar nature or otherwise.
I. AMBIGUITIES. Any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities
-----------
are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not apply to the
