• Tenant Improvement Allowance Commencing as of January 1, 2011, Tenant shall be entitled to use the “Tenant Improvement Allowance”, as defined in Section 2 of this Amendment, for the costs relating to the design and construction of Tenant’s improvements or which are otherwise “Tenant Improvement Allowance items,” as that term is defined in Section 2.2.1, below (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”). In no event shall Landlord be obligated to make disbursements pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter or otherwise in connection with Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements or any Tenant Improvement Allowance Items, as defined below, in a total amount which exceeds the sum of the Tenant Improvement Allowance. All Tenant Improvements for which the Tenant Improvement Allowance has been made available shall be deemed Landlord’s property under the terms of the Lease; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given concurrently with Landlord’s approval of the “Final Working Drawings”, as that term is defined in Section 3.3, below, require Tenant, prior to the end of the Lease Term or promptly following any earlier termination of this Lease, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Tenant Improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to a Building standard general office condition; provided, however, that Landlord shall not require Tenant to remove upon termination or expiration of this Lease, or condition its approval upon Tenant’s agreement to remove upon termination or expiration of this Lease, any Tenant Improvements constructed pursuant to this Tenant Work Letter (including, without limitation, Larc improvements) which constitute standard, non-extraordinary improvements for ordinary office, laboratory and/or Larc uses in biotech facilities. Any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance that is not disbursed or allocated for disbursement by December 31, 2013, shall revert to Landlord and Tenant shall have no further rights with respect thereto.

• Disbursement of Tenant Improvement Allowance During the construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall make monthly disbursements of the Tenant Improvement Allowance for Tenant Improvement Allowance Items for the benefit of Tenant and shall authorize the release of monies for the benefit of Tenant as follows.

• Tenant Allowance Landlord shall provide Tenant an allowance for each Building in an amount not to exceed the sum set forth in the Basic Lease Information for the Tenant Allowance for the applicable Building (collectively, the “Tenant Allowance”), to be applied toward the cost of the following items in respect of the Tenant Improvements in the applicable Building: Architectural and engineering fees, space planning, building permits or other governmental fees, and the cost of labor, materials, contractors fees and overhead, and other charges included in the construction contract for construction of Tenant Improvements, including the contractor’s fee, overhead and general conditions, sales and use taxes, the cost of the builder’s risk insurance during construction and all testing and inspection costs. If Landlord elects to itself construct the Restroom Improvements, Landlord shall make payments to its contractor for the Restroom Improvements as and when such costs are incurred and deduct the amount of such payments from the Tenant Allowance for Building 2 up to the maximum amount stated in Paragraph I of this Work Letter. Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any remaining portion of the Tenant Allowance attributable to a Building until such time as (i) the Commencement Date for the applicable Building has occurred and Tenant has accepted delivery of the Building and made the initial prepayment of Rent with respect to the applicable portion of the Premises; and (ii) Tenant has delivered to Landlord and Landlord has approved, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, all of the following: (A) invoices, paid receipts and/or related evidence reasonably acceptable to Landlord establishing that Tenant has paid an amount equal to that portion of the Tenant Allowance requested by Tenant to third parties in connection with the Tenant Improvements in the applicable Building; (B) executed unconditional final mechanics’ lien releases, in statutory form, from Tenant’s contractor and all subcontractors, laborers, materialmen and suppliers used by Tenant with respect to all work in and to the Premises located in the applicable Building; (C) a certificate from Tenant’s architect or space planner, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, certifying that the construction of the Tenant Improvements in the applicable Building has been substantially completed and meets all applicable building codes; (D) a copy of the certificate of occupancy (or similar governmental authorization) for the applicable Building; (E) “as-built” drawings for the Tenant Improvements in the applicable Building, signed by either Tenant’s architect, space planner or contractor, and electronic CAD files from Tenant’s Contractor and all subcontractors; and (F) a final punch list signed off by both Tenant and Landlord and/or their architects. Thereafter, Landlord shall deliver, within fifteen (15) days following Tenant’s delivery of the materials and information required for disbursement thereof in the preceding sentence, a check payable to Tenant in the amount of that portion of the Tenant Allowance requested by Tenant and paid to third parties in connection with the Tenant Improvements for the applicable Building (which amount shall not exceed the portion of the Tenant Allowance provided for such Building as specified in the Basic Lease Information). Landlord’s payment of any portion of the Tenant Allowance shall not be deemed Landlord’s approval any of the Tenant Improvements absent Landlord’s prior approval pursuant to this Work Letter. Landlord’s obligation to disburse the Tenant Allowance for each Building under this Paragraph 9(b) shall expire six (6) months after the Delivery Date for the applicable Building, subject to extension due to Force Majeure, such that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide to Tenant any undisbursed portion of the Tenant Allowance for a Building unless Tenant has delivered to Landlord all documents required above within nine (9) months after the Delivery Date of such Building.

• Improvement Allowance a. Landlord shall contribute the Improvement Allowance towards the Improvement Costs in accordance with the terms of this Section. All Improvement Costs incurred by Landlord shall be deducted from the Improvement Allowance, and applied by Landlord to pay the Improvement Costs, as such costs are incurred. The Improvement Allowance shall remain available to be used by Tenant through October 31, 2014 (the “Allowance Expiration Date”). Any portion of the Improvement Allowance remaining undisbursed after the Allowance Expiration Date shall be retained by Landlord and Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment, Rent reduction or offset for any unused part of the Improvement Allowance. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend more than the Improvement Allowance. b. Prior to commencement of construction of any Initial Improvements, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a written estimate (the “Estimate”) of the Improvement Costs. The Estimate shall include “allowance(s),” defined as an estimate of cost for an item of work not sufficiently defined in the documents to allow a fixed price to be obtained by the general contractor for which the Improvement Costs are to be increased or decreased, respectively, by the precise amount that the actual cost of the allowance item is either in excess of or less than the amount of the allowance for that item. Tenant shall approve the Estimate in writing within five (5) business days of Tenant’s receipt thereof. If Tenant does not approve or disapprove the Estimate in writing within said period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Estimate. Landlord shall be under no obligation to construct any of the Initial Improvements until Tenant has expressly approved the Estimate. c. If based on the Estimate, the Improvement Costs will exceed the Improvement Allowance, then prior to commencement of construction of any Initial Improvements, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one hundred percent (100%) of such projected excess amount. Landlord shall keep Tenant reasonably informed with respect to construction progress of the Initial Improvements, the occupancy of the Premises by Tenant and costs thereof. Landlord shall submit to Tenant monthly progress statements illustrating the cost to date of constructing the Initial Improvements. The statements of costs submitted to Landlord by Landlord’s contractors shall be conclusive for purposes of determining the actual cost of the items described therein. The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes a Default by Tenant as if Tenant shall have failed to pay Rent. Within ten (10) days after submission by Landlord of the foregoing statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, as set forth in such notice, by which the Improvement Costs exceeds the Improvement Allowance plus any amount previously paid by Tenant to Landlord. Landlord shall not disburse the Improvement Allowance until after Landlord disburses funds paid by Tenant for excess costs and provided that the Improvement Allowance is estimated to be sufficient to pay all remaining costs. Landlord shall disburse first the funds paid by Tenant and then the Improvement Allowance directly to the general contractor and to suppliers and subcontractors as Landlord deems appropriate. As soon as reasonably practical upon completion of the Initial Improvements, Landlord shall prepare and submit to Tenant a statement showing, in reasonable detail an accounting for the Improvement Costs and the total amount payable hereunder by Landlord to Tenant or Tenant to Landlord. Within ten (10) days after submission by Landlord of the foregoing statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, as set forth in such notice, by which the Improvement Costs exceeded the Improvement Allowance and any funds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord. If the Improvement Costs are less than the Improvement Allowance and any funds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord, then the excess funds previously paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be used to offset Base Rent; and Tenant shall not be entitled to any payment, Rent reduction or offset for any unused part of the Improvement Allowance. d. After the Improvement Allowance has been expended by Landlord, the principal amount of the Improvement Allowance, together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate, shall be amortized evenly over the Term, and so long as Tenant does not default in its monetary obligations under the Lease, and fail to cure such default within the applicable period of cure, if any, provided under this Lease, then the balance of the Improvement Allowance shall be reduced each month by the principal amount amortized each month, and upon Landlord’s receipt of the final payment of Rent due during the initial Term of this Lease, Tenant shall have no liability to Landlord for the repayment of any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the interest that accrued and was amortized over the initial Term of this Lease. In the event of an uncured Default by Tenant under this Lease, then in addition to all of Landlord’s other remedies available under this Lease, Tenant shalt also be liable to Landlord for the entire unreduced principal balance of the Improvement Allowance remaining as of the date of default, and interest on such balance shall accrue at the Default Rate.

• Tenant’s Work Section 5.1 Except as may be expressly provided in this lease, Tenant shall not replace any fixtures in the Premises or make any changes, improvements, alterations or additions (collectively, “Tenant’s Work”), to the Premises, the Real Property, the Building systems, or any part thereof, without Xxxxxxxx’s prior consent. Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if Tenant’s Work (a) is nonstructural, and (b) does not (i) affect any part of the Real Property outside the Premises (including the Building roof) or the exterior of the Premises, (ii) affect any structural element of the Building, (iii) adversely affect any Building system, or (iv) require an amendment of the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Building, ( c) is not visible outside the Premises and (d) is performed only by contractors and subcontractors first approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Xxxxxxxx’s consent shall not be required with respect to such of Tenant’s Work as are cosmetic alterations (such as painting the interior of the Premises, carpeting, and installation of shelving and display cases) inside the Premises (“Cosmetic Alterations”), provided Tenant complies with the other applicable provisions of this lease. Tenant’s Work shall be performed, at Tenant’s expense, with diligence when started so as to promptly complete it in a good and worker-like manner using new materials of first class quality and in compliance with this lease, all Laws and Tenant’s Plans (as defined in Section 5.2) as approved by Landlord. As part of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall soundproof the Premises and install appropriate ventilation if required so that Tenant’s use of the Premises shall not result in noise and/or odors being transmitted outside the Premises. Tenant’s Work shall be fully paid for by Tenant when payment is due and shall not be financed with any conditional sales or title retention agreements or by the granting of any security interests, liens, encumbrances or financing statements. Tenant’s Work shall be deemed, upon installation, to be improvements and betterments that become the property of Landlord at installation, and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises, at the expiration of the Term (or the sooner termination of this lease in accordance with its provisions) unless Landlord notifies Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article that Landlord relinquishes its rights thereto, in which case Tenant shall be obligated to remove such Tenant’s Work. Section 5.2 Prior to commencing any Tenant’s Work other than purely Cosmetic Alterations, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, deliver to Landlord detailed plans and specifications, for Tenant’s Work, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, prepared, certified, signed and sealed by an architect or engineer licensed to practice in the State of New York, and suitable for filing with the applicable Authority, if filing is required by applicable Laws (such plans and specifications together with revisions thereto, collectively, “Tenant’s Plans”), and obtain Landlord’s approval of Xxxxxx’s Plans. Xxxxxxxx’s approval of Xxxxxx’s Plans shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed to the extent Xxxxxxxx’s consent to Xxxxxx’s Work shown on Tenant’s Plans is not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed pursuant to this Article. Before commencing Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall (a) obtain (and deliver to Landlord copies of) all required permits and authorizations of any Authority for such work, and (b) deliver to Landlord such security as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (c) deliver to Landlord certificates (in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord) evidencing the following insurance coverages from each contractor and subcontractor: (i) worker’s compensation insurance covering all persons to be employed in the performance of any Tenant’s Work, and

• Tenant Improvements Landlord shall cause the Core and Shell Contractor or another Contractor designated by Landlord and approved by Tenant, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed (“TI Contractor”, and together with Core and Shell Contractor, “Contractor”) to commence and thereafter diligently prosecute the construction of the tenant improvements in the Premises pursuant to the Work Letter (the “Tenant Improvements”); provided, however, that before performing the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall prepare in good faith an estimated budget for the construction of the Tenant Improvements and deliver such budget to Tenant for Tenant’s written approval prior the start of construction (the “Budget”). Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively and in good faith to achieve a mutually acceptable Budget. Landlord shall update the Budget for Tenant’s review and approval at reasonable intervals and shall notify Tenant in writing if the Budget is likely to be exceeded. If there is an indication that the Budget is likely to be exceeded, Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively, if required by Tenant, to modify the scope of the Tenant Improvements to bring the same in line with a budget reasonably acceptable to Tenant. The Tenant Improvements shall be performed in a workmanlike manner and shall substantially conform with Applicable Laws and the Approved TI Plans (as defined in the Work Letter). Tenant shall pay all TI Costs, except that Landlord shall pay for TI Costs that do not exceed the TI Allowance. The “TI Allowance” shall mean (a) One Hundred Twenty Five Dollars ($125.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises (the “Initial TI Allowance”), together with (b) the Additional Allowance. The “TI Costs” shall mean all Tenant Core and Shell Costs (as defined in the Work Letter) and all costs and expenses of performing the TI Work, including without limitation the hard and soft costs of (i) construction, (ii) the Construction Management Fee (as such term is defined in the Work Letter) and any Project or construction management fees paid by Tenant to an unaffiliated third party (such fees not to exceed three percent (3%) of the TI Allowance), (iii) space planning, design, architect, engineering, data and phone cabling and other related services, (iv) costs and expenses for labor, material, equipment, data and phone cabling and fixtures (including, without limitation, any of the Attached Property (as defined in Section 18.5), (v) building permits and other taxes, fees, charges and levies by governmental and quasi-governmental agencies for permits or for inspections of the Tenant Improvements, and (vi) the Warm Shell Costs. In no event shall the TI Allowance be used for: (w) the purchase of any furniture, personal property or other non-building system equipment, (x) costs resulting from a Tenant Delay, (y) costs resulting from any default by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, or (z) costs that are recoverable or reasonably recoverable by Tenant from a third party (e.g., insurers, warrantors, or tortfeasors). In the event the estimated total TI Costs (as set forth in the Budget) exceed the TI Allowance, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord such overage (the “TI Allowance Excess”), within five (5) business days of receiving the Budget (the “TI Deposit”). In the event Landlord determines the estimate of the TI Costs set forth in the Budget underestimates the amount of TI Costs so that the TI Deposit will not be sufficient to cover the TI Allowance Excess, then Landlord shall communicate the same to Tenant and, if required by Tenant, the parties shall discuss revisions to the Budget and Tenant may make a TI Tenant Change Order Request to reduce TI Costs, and unless the TI Costs are reduced to be within the Budget and previously paid TI Deposit, Tenant shall promptly pay the additional amount to Landlord, and such additional amount shall be added to the TI Deposit. If the sum of the TI Allowance plus the TI Deposit is not sufficient to cover the TI Costs, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the difference between (a) the TI Costs and (b) the sum of the TI Allowance and the TI Deposit. However, Landlord shall be solely responsible for any costs related to the Tenant Improvements to the extent the same result from Landlord’s gross negligence, intentional misconduct or breach of Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall work together cooperatively at no cost or risk to Landlord to maximize Tenant’s ability, to the extent reasonably possible, to obtain the benefit of any applicable research and development tax credits with respect to the Tenant Improvements.

• Landlord’s Expenses In the event Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, then Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, attorneys', architects', accountants', engineers' or other consultants' fees.

• Construction of Tenant Improvements Promptly following approval of the Final TI Working Drawings, Landlord shall apply for and use reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary permits and approvals to allow construction of Landlord’s TI Work. Upon receipt of such permits and approvals, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense (subject to the application of the Tenant Improvement Allowance provided in this Workletter, and subject to any other applicable provisions of the Lease or of this Workletter expressly making any specific item of expense or cost the responsibility of Landlord), diligently construct and complete Landlord’s TI Work substantially in accordance with the Approved TI Plans, subject to Unavoidable Delays and Tenant Delays (if any). Such construction shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and shall conform to all applicable governmental codes, laws and regulations in force at the time such work is completed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord shall be responsible for compliance of Landlord’s TI Work with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and all similar or related requirements pertaining to access by persons with disabilities, but nothing in this sentence shall be construed to make Landlord responsible for bearing the cost of any such compliance, to the extent the compliance work is reasonably attributable to or related to the particular nature or design of the Tenant Improvements or is for any other reason expressly made Tenant’s cost or responsibility under any applicable provision of the Lease or of this Workletter. Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decide whether and to what extent to use union labor on or in connection with Landlord’s Work, and shall use the TI General Contractor to construct all of Landlord’s TI Work. Landlord and Tenant shall each have a right to approve all subcontractors engaged in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements and to review and approve all competitive bids for any elements of the Tenant Improvements, such approval in each instance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by either party.

• Aid Allowance An employee who has been appointed by the Employer and trained to render first aid and who is the current holder of appropriate first aid qualifications such as a certificate from the St. Xxxx's Ambulance or similar body shall be paid weekly an allowance as detailed in Appendix A. The Employer will always appoint the appropriate number of First Aid Officers as required by relevant legislation and Code of Practice.
