10. Assignments and Subletting. WJ shall not assign or transfer this Sublease or
any interest therein, nor sublet any portion of the Demised Premises without the prior written
consent of SCI and the City, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
11. Abandonment. If WJ shall abandon or vacate the Demised Premises before the
end of the Term, or any other event happens entitling SCI to lawfully take possession thereof,
SCI may take possession of the Demised Premises and relet the same without such action being
deemed an acceptance of a surrender of this Sublease, or in any way terminating WJ's liability
hereunder, and WJ shall remain liable to pay the monthly rent, plus the cost of any expenses
incident to SCI's repossession and reletting.
12. Fire and Unsafe Building. If the Demised Premises shall be so damaged by fire
or other casualty as to be rendered untenantable, the rent shall be forthwith abated and SCI may,
at its option, declare this Sublease terminated, or it may, within thirty (30) days from the date of
such fire or other casualty, notify WJ that SCI will repair or reconstruct the Demised Premises;
and in such event, WJ shall resume its liability for rent from the time such repair or
reconstruction is completed.
13. Transfer by Operation of Law. If, by reason of any act or omission on the part
of WJ, the Demised Premises or any part thereof come into possession of any receiver, assignee,
trustee in bankruptcy, sheriff or other officer, by and through any court process, or by operation
of law, SCI may, at its option, terminate this Sublease at any time thereafter by notice to WJ and
may accept rent from such receiver, trustee, assignee, or officer, without affecting or impairing
their right to so terminate this Sublease at any time thereafter or impairing any other right of SCI
under this Sublease.
14. Rights on Default. Should WJ fail to pay the rent by the first day of any month
in which the rent is due, SCI shall give WJ written notice thereof, and if WJ does not pay the rent
within ten (10) days of WJ's receipt of such notice, SCI shall have the option at any time
H
thereafter to declare WJ in default and to declare immediately due and payable all the rent then
due and thereafter to become due during the unexpired Term. The failure of SCI to exercise any
of such options at the time of the default shall not operate as a forfeiture or waiver thereof, it
being the intent of the parties that any of such options may be exercised at the election of SCI
once the rent accrues, irrespective of the passage of time from and after the accrual of the rent.
Should WJ fail to pay the rent within the 10-day cure period as hereinbefore stated, SCI shall
have the option to enter and take possession of the premises and no notice to quit or demand for
the premises shall be necessary to recover possession of the same. This option is in addition to
and cumulative with SCI's option to declare the Sublease in default and the entire unpaid rent
required under this Sublease to be immediately due and payable.
In the event WJ violates any of the covenants or provisions of this Sublease other than the
payment of rent, the violation shall be corrected within thirty (30) days of WJ's receipt of notice
of such violation from SCI. If the violation is not substantially corrected, or WJ is not
proceeding diligently to correct the violation within 30 days of notice, SCI shall have the option
of entering and taking possession of the Demised Premises without further notice to or demand
upon WJ; and SCI may declare the entire balance of the rent required under this Sublease to be
immediately due and payable.
Upon any default by WJ, nothing in this paragraph 14 shall be deemed to require SCI to
relet the Demised Premises and mitigate SCI's damages, and the entire unpaid rent under this
Sublease shall be immediately due and payable by WJ to SCI, and SCI may seek any other
remedies available to SCI under applicable law.
15. WJ's Liability. WJ shall indemnify and save SCI harmless from all loss, cost
and expense arising out of or resulting from injury to any person or property, or any other claims,
demands, actions or causes of action, in each case arising out of or resulting from WJ's use or
occupancy of the Demised Premises or the Common Areas during the Term, except to the extent
5
caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of SCI's employees, agents or contractors.
Likewise, WJ shall indemnify and save the City harmless from all loss, cost and expense arising
out of or resulting from injury to any person or property, or any other claims, demands, actions
or causes of action, in each case arising out of or resulting from WJ's use or occupancy of the
Demised Premises or the Common Areas during the Term, except to the extent caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of City's employees, agents or contractors. WJ shall carry
comprehensive general liability insurance covering its use of the Demised Premises and the
Common Areas and for property damage liability with limits of liability of not less than
$1,000,000 per person and not less than $500,000 for property damage. SCI and the City will be

provided, and observes and keeps the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Sublease on
