OVERLANDLORD’S CONSENT
dated ______________
to
the sublease dated ________________ (the “Sublease”)
between
___________________________________________ , as sublandlord (the “Sublandlord”),
and
___________________________________________ , as subtenant (the “Subtenant”)
The undersigned (the “Overlandlord”) hereby consents to the subleasing by the Sublandlord to the
Subtenant of the premises referred to in the Sublease (the “Sublease Premises”) for the term
provided for in the Sublease, subject to the terms and conditions of this Consent. Capitalized terms
used but not defined in this Consent shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Sublease. As
used in this Consent, the term “Overlease” shall mean the lease between Overlandlord, as landlord,
and Sublandlord, as tenant, demising the Overlease Premises, as heretofore and hereafter amended.
1. This Consent relates to the act of subleasing, not to the terms and conditions of the
Sublease, and Overlandlord shall not be bound by the terms and conditions of the Sublease. The
Sublease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Overlease, and Subtenant shall not do or
permit to be done any act or thing which shall violate the Overlease.
2. This Consent shall not constitute Overlandlord’s consent to any other subletting by
Sublandlord, any subsubletting by Subtenant, or any assignment by Sublandlord or Subtenant and,
except as otherwise provided in the Overlease with respect to any subletting or assignment by
Sublandlord, no such sublease, subsublease or assignment shall be made without Overlandlord’s
prior written consent.
3. Subtenant shall have no recourse against Overlandlord on account of any failure by
Overlandlord to perform any of its obligations under the Overlease. Subtenant’s only recourse shall
be against Sublandlord.
4. This consent shall not be construed (a) to modify, waive, impair or affect any of the terms
or conditions of the Overlease, (b) to waive any breach of the Overlease, (c) to enlarge or diminish
the rights or obligations of Overlandlord or Sublandlord under the Overlease, (d) as a consent by
Overlandlord pursuant to any of the other provisions of the Overlease (including, without limitation,

to the performance of any work in the Sublease Premises) or (e) as a representation or
acknowledgment of the accuracy of any recital or statement set forth in the Sublease.
5. Notwithstanding the subletting consented to herein, Sublandlord shall be and remain fully
liable for payment of the rent, additional rent and all other sums to become due under the Overlease
and for the performance of all of the Sublandlord’s obligations under the Overlease. All acts and
omissions of Subtenant or anyone claiming under Subtenant which shall be in violation of the
Overlease shall be deemed a violation by Sublandlord.
6. If Sublandlord defaults in the payment of any rent, additional rent or other sum due under
the Overlease or in the performance of any of Sublandlord’s obligations under the Overlease and
such default continues beyond any applicable cure period provided for in the Overlease, then
Subtenant, after receiving a notice from Overlandlord directing Subtenant to do so, shall pay to
Overlandlord all rent, additional rent and other sums thereafter becoming due under the Sublease.
Subtenant shall be entitled to rely on any such notice notwithstanding any objection by Sublandlord.
No receipt by Overlandlord of any rent, additional or other sums from Subtenant shall be deemed to
release Sublandlord from Sublandlord's obligations under the Overlease or, except as provided in
Section 7 below, as the acceptance of Subtenant as a direct tenant.
7. If Overlandlord shall terminate the Overlease, reenter the premises leased under the
Overlease or dispossess Sublandlord prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Sublease, then, at
Overlandlord's option, Overlandlord may take over all of the right, title and interest of Sublandlord
as sublandlord under the Sublease and, in such a case, Subtenant shall attorn to Overlandlord
pursuant to the then executory provisions of the Sublease which shall then be deemed a direct lease
between Overlandlord and Subtenant on the terms and conditions of the Sublease, except that
Overlandlord shall not be:
(a) liable for any previous act or omission of Sublandlord,
(b) bound by any rent, additional rent or other sums paid by Subtenant more than
thirty (30) days in advance of its due date,
(c) bound by any modification of the Sublease made after the date hereof unless (i)
Overlandlord shall have received an executed counterpart thereof (or a copy of such a
counterpart), and (ii) if required by the Overlease, Overlandlord shall have consented
thereto,
(d) liable for any obligations of Sublandlord to make or pay for or furnish any
allowances for any improvements; or
(e) bound by any offsets theretofore accrued against Sublandlord.
Subtenant waives the provisions of any law now or hereafter in effect which may give Subtenant any
right to terminate the Sublease or to surrender possession of the Sublease Premises if Overlandlord

shall terminate the Overlease, reenter the premises leased under the Overlease or disposses
Sublandlord prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Sublease. Upon request by Overlandlord,
Subtenant shall confirm such attornment by executing and delivering to Overlandlord an instrument
reasonably satisfactory to Overlandlord, but Subtenant’s failure to do so shall not affect such
attornment.
8. Subtenant shall (a) maintain in effect such liability insurance as Sublandlord is required
by the Overlease to maintain, (b) cause to be named as additional insureds thereon such persons as
Sublandlord is required by the Overlease to name as additional insureds on its liability insurance
(provided that Subtenant shall have been notified thereof), and (c) furnish to Overlandlord such
evidence of such insurance as Sublandlord is required by the Overlease to furnish. The insurance
required by this Paragraph Section 8 shall be in addition to all insurance required by the Overlease
to be maintained by Sublandlord or required by the Sublease to be maintained by Subtenant.
9. Overlandlord shall cause to be included in each of its property insurance policies
(including rent loss insurance) a waiver of the insurer's right of subrogation against Subtenant, and
Overlandlord hereby releases Subtenant from any claim (including a claim for negligence) which
Overlandlord might otherwise have for loss, damage or destruction to Overlandlord’s property
occurring during the term of the Sublease (including loss of rents) to the extent to which such loss,
damage or destruction is insured by Overlandlord or is required by the Overlease to be insured by
Overlandlord.
10. Subtenant shall cause to be included in each of its property insurance policies (including
business interruption) a waiver of the insurer's right of subrogation against Sublandlord, and
Subtenant hereby releases Overlandlord from any claim (including a claim for negligence) which
Subtenant might otherwise have for loss, damage or destruction to Subtenant’s property occurring
during the term of the Sublease (including business interruption) to the extent to which such loss,
damage or destruction is insured by Subtenant or would have been required to be insured by
Subtenant if Subtenant were the tenant under the Overlease.
11. Sublandlord agrees to indemnify Overlandlord against any claim for any commission or
other compensation in connection with the Sublease made against Overlandlord by any broker, agent
or finder with whom Sublandlord or Subtenant has dealt or is claimed to have dealt in connection
with the Sublease and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Overlandlord in the defense of such claim.
12. If there is any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Sublease and of this
Consent, the terms and conditions of this Consent shall prevail in each instance.
13. Sublandlord and Subtenant represent that (a) attached to this Consent is a true and
complete copy of the Sublease, and (b) the Sublease and this Consent constitute the sole agreements
between them relating to the subletting of the Sublease Premises by Sublandlord to Subtenant.

written.
