B.                  Sublessor and Sublessee mutually desire to enter into this Agreement to cancel and terminate the Sublease upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good, valuable and adequate consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

The Sublease shall have no force or effect from and after the Termination Date except for (a) outstanding claims or obligations arising or accruing under the Sublease prior to the Termination Date, including but not limited to Sublessee’s obligations to pay amounts accrued but unpaid prior to the Termination Date, (b) any duties, obligations or liabilities which by their nature or terms survive the expiration or termination of the Sublease, including but not limited to indemnification obligations, and (c) any duties, obligations or liabilities set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee shall have no obligation to pay Sublessor any amount arising from its obligations under the Sublease for rent of the Premises from January 1 to March 31, 2020.

 

2.                   Mutual Release. Sublessor and Sublessee do hereby release and discharge the other from any claims, liabilities or obligations arising under the Sublease after the Termination Date; provided, however, the foregoing shall not release either party from (a) any claims, liabilities or obligations arising or accruing under the Sublease prior to the Termination Date, (b) any duties, obligations or liabilities which by their nature or terms survive the expiration or termination of the Sublease, or (c) any duties, obligations or liabilities set forth herein.

Sublessor shall give prompt written notice to Sublessee of any proposed litigation or proposed settlement of a claim that is indemnifiable hereunder, and Sublessee may engage its own counsel in such proposed litigation or settlement. Sublessor may not, without Sublessee’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment regarding the indemnification being sought hereunder.
