Landlord’s Election If Tenant shall desire to assign its interest under this Lease or to sublet the Leased Premises, Tenant must first notify Landlord, in writing, of its intent to so assign or sublet, at least 20 days in advance of the date it intends to so assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Leased Premises but not sooner than one hundred eighty days in advance of such date, specifying in detail the terms of such proposed assignment or subletting, including the name of the proposed assignee or subleasee, the proposed assignee's or subleasee's intended use of the Leased Premises, a current financial statement of such proposed assignee or subleasee and the form of documents to be used in effectuating such assignment or subletting. Landlord shall have a period of 10 days following receipt of such notice within which to do one of the following: (i) consent to such requested assignment or subletting subject to Tenant's compliance with the conditions set forth in Article 7.4 below or (ii) refuse to so consent to such requested assignment or subletting, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably refused. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting if (i) the proposed assignee's or subtenant's anticipated use of the Premises in- volves the storage, use or disposal of a Hazardous Material other than Hazardous Materials used by Tenant; (ii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant has been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority to clean up Hazardous Materials unlawfully discharged by the proposed assignee or subtenant; or (iii) if the proposed assignee or subtenant is subject to investigation or enforcement order or proceeding by any governmental authority in connection with the unlawful use, disposal or storage of a Hazardous Material. During said 10 day period, Tenant covenants and agrees to supply to Landlord, upon request, all necessary or relevant information which Landlord may reasonably request respecting such proposed assignment or subletting and/or the proposed assignee or subleasee.
LANDLORD’S NONLIABILITY Landlord, its agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, shall not be liable to Tenant, its employees, agents and/or invitees, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, its agents, and any and all affiliates of Landlord, for and knowingly assumes the risk of loss of or damage to any property, or loss or interruption of business or income, or any other loss, cost, damage, injury or liability whatsoever (including without limitation any consequential damages and lost profit or opportunity costs), resulting from, but not limited to, Acts of God, acts of civil disobedience or insurrection, acts or omissions of third parties and/or of other tenants within the Project or their agents, employees, contractors, guests or invitees, fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water or rain which may leak or flow from or into any part of the Premises, mold, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of the pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning, electrical works, roof, windows or other fixtures in the Building (whether the damage or injury results from conditions arising in the Premises or in other portions of the Building), regardless of the negligence of Landlord, its agents or any and all affiliates of Landlord in connection with any of the foregoing. It is understood that any such condition may require the temporary evacuation or closure of all or a portion of the Building. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever (including without limitation consequential damages and lost profit or opportunity costs) and, except as provided in Sections 11.1 and 12.1 below, there shall be no abatement of rent, by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements to any portion of the Building, including repairs to the Premises, nor shall any related activity by Landlord constitute an actual or constructive eviction. In making repairs, alterations or improvements, however, Landlord shall interfere as little as reasonably practicable with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises. Should Tenant elect to receive any service or products from a concessionaire, licensee or third party tenant of Landlord, Landlord shall have no liability for any services or products so provided or for any breach of contract by such third party provider. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable for interference with light or other similar intangible interests. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in case of fire or accident in the Premises, the Building or the Project and of defects in any improvements or equipment.
Landlord’s Consent to Alterations Tenant may not make any improvements, alterations, additions or changes to the Premises (collectively, the “Alterations”) without first procuring the prior written consent of Landlord to such Alterations, which consent shall be requested by Tenant not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement thereof, and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion with respect to any Alterations which may adversely affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment in more than a de minimis manner (e.g., the mere tying into Systems shall not be subject to the sole discretion standard) or which can be seen from outside the Building. Tenant shall pay (i) for Alterations performed by Tenant, Landlord’s reasonable third-party costs incurred in connection with reviewing such Alterations, and (ii) for Alterations for which Tenant has engaged Landlord to supervise and Landlord’s contractors to perform, a supervision fee of two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total cost of such Alteration (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing supervisory fee shall not be due or payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements and the Vivarium improvements and no supervisory fee shall be due or payable in connection with any capital improvements performed by Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landlord approval shall be required (provided advance notice shall be provided to Landlord) for (a) installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to the Systems, (b) Alterations which could not reasonably be expected to affect the structural components of the Building or the Systems and Equipment and which cost less than $150,000 for any one (1) job and no more than $300,000 in the aggregate in any calendar year during the Lease Term (excluding any costs for painting, carpeting, and similar purely cosmetic work), (c) Alterations which do not require a building permit, and (d) merely cosmetic work (such as painting and carpeting). The construction of the initial improvements to the Premises shall be governed by the terms of the Tenant Work Letter and not the terms of this Article 8.
Tenant’s Notice If Tenant desires to assign this Amended and Restated Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises (sometimes referred to herein as a “Transfer”), Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which shall be accompanied by (a) with respect to an assignment of this Amended and Restated Lease, the date Tenant desires the assignment to be effective, and (b) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises, a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet and the commencement date of such sublease. If Tenant has vacated all or substantially all of the Premises or is in the process of making arrangements to do so (with no intention of returning to the Premises during the Term), and if the proposed transaction is either an assignment of this Amended and Restated Lease, or a sublease of the entire Premises, such notice shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord of the right, at Landlord’s option, to terminate this Amended and Restated Lease with respect to the entire Premises. If the proposed transaction is a sublease of a portion of the Premises, which, together with all other presently existing subleases, comprises a subletting of more than 1/3rd of the rentable square footage of the Premises, and such sublease is for a term substantially equal to the then remaining Term of this Amended and Restated Lease, such notice shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord of the right, at Landlord’s option to terminate this Amended and Restated Lease with respect to such space as Tenant then proposes to sublease (the “Partial Space”), but not any other previously subleased space, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Such option may be exercised by notice from Landlord to Tenant within 20 days after delivery of Tenant’s notice. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Amended and Restated Lease, (a) Tenant shall have the right within 7 days to revoke the request to assign or sublease thereby extinguishing Landlord’s right to terminate this Amended and Restated Lease, or (b) if the Tenant does not give such notice within 7 days, (i) this Amended and Restated Lease shall end and expire with respect to all or a portion of the Premises, as the case may be, on the date that such assignment or sublease was to commence, provided that such date is in no event earlier than 90 days after the date of the above notice unless Landlord agrees to such earlier date, (ii) Rent shall be apportioned, paid or refunded as of such date, (iii) Tenant, upon Landlord’s request, shall enter into an amendment of this Amended and Restated Lease ratifying and confirming such total or partial termination, and setting forth any appropriate modifications to the terms and provisions hereof, and (iv) Landlord shall be free to lease the Premises (or any part thereof) to Tenant’s prospective assignee or subtenant or to any other party. Landlord shall pay all costs to make the Partial Space a self-contained rental unit and to install any required Building corridors.
Notice to Landlord In the event Landlord’s consent is required pursuant to Section 15.1, Tenant shall first notify Landlord of its desire to assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Premises and shall submit in writing to Landlord (the “Transfer Notice”); (i) the size and location of the space Tenant proposes to assign or sublet; (ii) the name of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (iii) the date on which the Tenant proposes that the transfer be effective, which shall not be earlier than the date which is 30 days after the Transfer Notice (iv) the nature of the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s business to be carried on in the Premises; (v) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease or assignment; (vi) such reasonable financial information as Landlord may request concerning the proposed assignee or subtenant, and (vii) such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual costs and attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $5000) incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such requested assignment, subletting, transfer, change or ownership or hypothecation of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within five (5) days after any assignment of sublet of Tenant’s interest in the Lease (including any assignment by operation of law or the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the equity interests in Tenant measured by voting power or share of Tenant’s profit), Tenant shall provide Landlord a written notice of such assignment or sublet, which notice shall include the date on which the transfer occurred and each of the items specified in items (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vii) above.
Notice of Impositions Lessor shall give prompt Notice to Lessee of all Impositions payable by Lessee hereunder of which Lessor at any time has knowledge, provided that Lessor’s failure to give any such Notice shall in no way diminish Lessee’s obligations hereunder to pay such Impositions, but such failure shall obviate any default hereunder for a reasonable time after Lessee receives Notice of any Imposition which it is obligated to pay during the first taxing period applicable thereto.
Notice to Landlord’s Mortgagee Tenant shall not seek to enforce any remedy it may have for any default on the part of Landlord without first giving written notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, specifying the default in reasonable detail, to any Landlord’s Mortgagee whose address has been given to Tenant, and affording such Landlord’s Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to perform Landlord’s obligations hereunder.
Alterations by Landlord Landlord may from time to time:
