and

Recitals

A. Sublessor is the tenant under that certain Master Lease dated [[Master Lease Date]] between [[Master Landlord Full Name(s)]] ("Landlord") and Sublessor, covering the premises located at [[Master Lease Property Full Address]], [[City]], Michigan [[ZIP Code]] (the "Premises"). A true and complete copy of the Master Lease is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated by reference.

B. Sublessor desires to sublease the Premises (or a portion thereof) to Sublessee, and Sublessee desires to sublease the Premises from Sublessor, subject to the terms of the Master Lease and this Sublease.

C. Subleasing requires compliance with MCLA 554.134. Sublessor represents that either (i) the Master Lease expressly permits subleasing, or (ii) Landlord has given prior written consent to this specific Sublease via the attached Landlord Consent to Sublease (Exhibit B).

D. Sublessor remains fully liable to Landlord for all obligations under the Master Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein, the Parties agree as follows:, -

1. Premises

Sublessor subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee subleases from Sublessor, the following:

2. Term

The term of this Sublease shall commence on [[Sublease Start Date]] and shall expire on [[Sublease End Date]], unless sooner terminated in accordance with this Sublease or the Master Lease.

Sublessor shall hold the deposit in accordance with Michigan law (MCLA 554.603) and shall provide Sublessee written notice of the name and address of the financial institution holding the deposit within fourteen (14) days of receipt.

The security deposit secures Sublessee's faithful performance of this Sublease and the Master Lease obligations incorporated herein. It may be applied to unpaid rent, damage beyond ordinary wear and tear, and cleaning costs.

Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Sublease and Sublessee's surrender of possession and provision of a forwarding address, Sublessor shall provide Sublessee an itemized statement and return any remaining balance, all in compliance with MCLA 554.609 and 554.608 (inventory checklists).

• Sublessor must provide Sublessee with all required disclosures that the Master Lease or Michigan law requires Landlord to provide to tenants (lead paint, etc.).
