3. Master Lease Incorporation and Subordination

The Master Lease is incorporated herein by reference. A complete copy of the Master Lease (including all amendments, rules, and exhibits) is attached as Exhibit A.

Sublessee acknowledges that Sublessee has received and read the Master Lease. Sublessee agrees to be bound by and to perform all of the tenant obligations under the Master Lease as if Sublessee were the original tenant thereunder, to the extent such obligations apply to the Subleased Premises.

This Sublease and all rights of Sublessee hereunder are expressly subject and subordinate to the Master Lease and to all of its terms, conditions, covenants, and provisions. In the event of any conflict between this Sublease and the Master Lease, the Master Lease shall control.

4. Term

The term of this Sublease (the "Sublease Term") shall commence on [[Sublease Start Date]] and shall expire on [[Sublease End Date]], unless sooner terminated or extended in accordance with its terms.

The Sublease Term shall in no event extend beyond the expiration or termination date of the Master Lease. If the Master Lease expires or is terminated for any reason during the Sublease Term, this Sublease shall automatically terminate on the same date without further notice, and Sublessee shall vacate the Premises.

5. Rent and Payment to Sublessor and Landlord

Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor monthly rent in the amount of [[Sublease Monthly Rent Amount]], due on the [[Due Day]] day of each month in advance.

Sublessor remains obligated to pay all rent and other amounts due to Landlord under the Master Lease. Sublessee's payment to Sublessor does not relieve Sublessor of Sublessor's obligations to Landlord.

[[If applicable: Sublessee shall pay rent directly to Landlord at Landlord's direction, with copy of payment proof to Sublessor.]]

6. Security Deposit

Sublessee shall pay a security deposit to Sublessor in the amount of [[Sublease Security Deposit Amount]] upon execution of this Sublease.

Sublessor shall hold the deposit in accordance with 25 Del. C. § 5514 and the Master Lease. Sublessee acknowledges that Landlord is not obligated to return the deposit to Sublessee; return shall be governed by the terms of this Sublease and the Master Lease.

Upon termination of this Sublease, Sublessor shall account for the deposit and return any balance within the time periods required by Delaware law and the Master Lease, subject to permitted deductions.

7. Landlord Consent

Landlord Consent Requirement:

Pursuant to 25 Del. C. § 5508, unless otherwise agreed in writing in the Master Lease, the tenant (Sublessor) may sublet the Premises, provided that the Master Lease may condition subletting on Landlord's prior written consent. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

• Landlord consent has been obtained: [[Yes / No / Pending]]
• Date consent granted (if obtained): [[Date Landlord Consent Granted]]

If consent is denied or not obtained within [[Consent Deadline Days]] days, either party may terminate this Sublease and any amounts paid by Sublessee shall be refunded (less any non-refundable fees disclosed).

Sublessee shall not take possession until Landlord consent, if required, has been obtained and delivered to Sublessor in writing.

8. Sublessor's Continuing Liability

Sublessor remains fully and primarily liable to Landlord for all rent, damages, and other obligations under the Master Lease for the entire term of the Master Lease, including during the Sublease Term.

Sublessee's performance under this Sublease does not release or diminish Sublessor's liability to Landlord.
