Related to Master Landlords Consent Lease Limitations

• 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.

• Landlord’s Consent Required Subject to the remaining provisions of this Article 11, but notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Lease, Tenant shall not assign, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease (either absolutely or collaterally) or sublease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limitation, Tenant agrees that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select Building tenants having similar leasehold obligations; (2) the proposed transferee is a governmental organization or present occupant of the Property, or Landlord is otherwise engaged in lease negotiations with the proposed transferee for other premises in the Property; (3) any uncured event of default exists under this Lease (or a condition exists which, with the passage of time or giving of notice, would become an event of default); (4) any portion of the Building or Premises would likely become subject to additional or different Laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer; (5) the proposed transferee’s use of the Premises conflicts with the Permitted Use or any exclusive usage rights granted to any other tenant in the Building; (6) the use, nature, business, activities or reputation in the business community of the proposed transferee (or its principals, employees or invitees) does not meet Landlord’s standards for Building tenants; (7) either the Transfer or any consideration payable to Landlord in connection therewith adversely affects the real estate investment trust qualification tests applicable to Landlord or its Affiliates; or (8) the proposed transferee is or has been involved in litigation with Landlord or any of its Affiliates. Tenant shall not be entitled to receive monetary damages based upon a claim that Landlord unreasonably withheld its consent to a proposed Transfer and Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to enforce any such provision through specific performance or declaratory judgment. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Article is voidable at Landlord’s option.

• Landlord’s Consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. Without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent, the parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any applicable law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply:

• Sublease Limitation For so long as Landlord or any Affiliate as to Landlord shall seek to qualify as a real estate investment trust, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be paid by any sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of such sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of such sublease rental would fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

• Sublease Rent Limitation Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessee shall not sublet the Leased Property on any basis such that the rental to be paid by the sublessee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on either (a) the income or profits derived by the business activities of the sublessee, or (b) any other formula such that any portion of the Rent would fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto.

• LESSOR'S CONSENT REQUIRED (a) Lessee shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, mortgage or otherwise transfer or encumber (collectively, "assign") or sublet all or any part of Lessee's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without Lessor's prior written consent given under and subject to the terms of Paragraph 36.

• Prime Lease (a) It is understood that Sublandlord is a sublandlord and that Sublandlord grants this Sublease under and by virtue of its rights under the Prime Lease and that this Sublease is subordinate and subject to the Prime Lease. Except as set forth below, the provisions of the Prime Lease are incorporated herein by reference, and made a part hereof, except that: (i) each reference in such incorporated sections to “Lease” shall be deemed a reference to this “Sublease”; (ii) each reference to the “Premises” shall be deemed a reference to the “Subleased Premises”; (iii) each reference to “Landlord” shall be deemed a reference to “Sublandlord” and each reference to “Tenant” shall be deemed a reference to “Subtenant”, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein; (iv) with respect to work, services, utilities, electricity, repairs (including, without limitation, repairs of any damage caused by Prime Landlord), restoration, insurance, indemnities, reimbursements, title, representations, warranties, covenants or the performance of any other obligation of the “Landlord” under the Prime Lease, whether or not incorporated herein, (A) reference to “Landlord” shall be deemed a reference solely to Landlord, and (B) the sole obligation of Sublandlord shall be to request the same in writing from Prime Landlord as and when requested to do so by Subtenant, and to use Sublandlord’s reasonable efforts (not including the payment of money or the incurring of any liabilities) to obtain Prime Landlord’s performance (provided, however, that Sublandlord shall not be required to institute any legal proceedings against Prime Landlord unless Subtenant pays all costs, and indemnifies, defends and holds Sublandlord harmless against all losses, costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees), claims, liabilities and damages, in connection therewith); (v) with respect to any obligation of Subtenant to be performed under this Sublease, wherever the Prime Lease grants to the “Tenant” a specified number of days to perform its obligations under the Prime Lease (including, without limitation, curing any defaults), Subtenant shall have three (3) fewer calendar days (or such lesser time as may be provided in this Sublease) to perform the obligation, but in no case shall Subtenant have less than three (3) business days to perform the obligation; (vi) with respect to any approval or consent required to be obtained from the “Landlord” under the Prime Lease, such approval or consent must be obtained from both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord, and Sublandlord’s withholding of approval or consent shall in all events be deemed reasonable if for any reason Prime Landlord’s approval or consent is not obtained, and if Prime Landlord’s approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and/or delayed under the Prime Lease, then Sublandlord’s consent shall likewise not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and/or delayed, as the case may be; (vii) in any case where the “Landlord” reserves or is granted the right to manage, supervise, control, repair, alter, regulate the use of, enter or use the Premises or any areas beneath, above or adjacent thereto, such reservation or grant of right of entry shall be deemed to be for the benefit of both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (viii) in any case where “Tenant” is to indemnify, release or waive claims against “Landlord”, such indemnity, release or waiver shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (ix) in any case where “Tenant” is to execute and deliver certain documents or notices to “Landlord”, such obligation shall be deemed to run from Subtenant to both Prime Landlord and Sublandlord; (x) all payments shall be made to Sublandlord, except as otherwise expressly required by the Prime Lease or Prime Landlord’s Consent; (xi) Subtenant shall pay all consent and review fees described in the Prime Lease; (xii) Subtenant shall not have the right to terminate this Sublease as to any or all of the Subleased Premises due to casualty or condemnation unless Sublandlord has such right (and opts to exercise such right) under the Prime Lease; and (xiii) the following provisions of the Prime Lease are not incorporated herein: Section 2.1; Section 2.2; Section 2.3; Section 2.4; Section 2.5; Section 2.6; Section 2.8; Section 2.10; Section 3; Section 4; Section 7.1; Section 8; Section 11; Section 12.1; Section 33; Section 41; Section 42; Exhibit A; Exhibit B; Exhibit D; and Exhibit F; and with respect to the First Amendment: Section 3; Section 5; Section 6; Section 8; Section 9; Section 10; Section 11; Section 12; Section 13; Section 15; and any other provisions that are contrary to the terms of this Sublease. For purposes of this Sublease, all references to “Prime Lease” hereunder shall refer to the Prime Lease, excluding those Sections set forth in Section 2(a)(xiii). As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the provisions of Section 35.1 shall not apply, but shall apply as between Sublandlord and Prime Landlord, and Subtenant and Prime Landlord. Subtenant expressly assumes and agrees to comply with all provisions of the Prime Lease and perform all of the obligations on the part of the “Tenant” to be performed under the Prime Lease (except where such obligation arises by reason of a (i) breach of Sublandlord under this Sublease, or (ii) breach of Sublandlord under the Prime Lease (other than a breach of the Prime Lease caused by Subtenant’s breach of its obligations under this Sublease)). In the event that the Prime Lease is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then subject to the provisions of, and Prime Landlord’s rights under the Prime Lease, this Sublease shall terminate simultaneously with such termination without any liability of Sublandlord to Subtenant. Subject to Subtenant’s performance of its obligations under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall not default in its monetary obligations under the Prime Lease (beyond any applicable notice and cure period).

• Condition of Subleased Premises (a) Subtenant shall maintain and repair the Subleased Premises in a manner consistent with Sublandlord’s obligations under the Lease. Sublandlord shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to Subtenant, during normal business hours and escorted by Subtenant (if Subtenant makes such escort reasonably available). Sublandlord’s right of entry shall include the right of inspection to confirm that Subtenant is in compliance with all applicable maintenance and repair obligations set forth in the Lease. In the event that Sublandlord determines, in Sublandlord’s reasonable opinion, that Subtenant is in default of any maintenance and/or repair obligation set forth in the Lease, and such default may incur liability to Sublandlord upon the surrender of the Subleased Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease (a “Required Repair Item”), then Sublandlord shall have the right to notify Subtenant of any such Required Repair Items. Subtenant shall be obligated to cure such Required Repair Items within thirty (30) days of such notice from Sublandlord, or, if such Required Repair Items cannot be reasonably completed in such thirty (30) day period, such longer period as reasonably necessary to cure such Required Repair Items, so long as Subtenant has commenced such cure and diligently pursues such cure to completion. In no event shall Sublandlord’s rights hereunder impose any additional and/or greater repair or maintenance standards from those set forth in the Lease. In the event Subtenant fails to cure such Required Repair Items as set forth above, then such failure shall be deemed a default under this Sublease, entitling Sublandlord to exercise any of its rights and remedies herein, including, without limitation, the self help rights set forth in Section 6(b) above.

• Master Lease A. All the obligations contained in the Master Lease conferred and imposed upon Sublessor (as Tenant therein) shall be borne by Sublessor and Sublessee in accordance with the Sublessor's Percentage and the Sublessee's Percentage, respectively, except as modified and amended by this Sublease, and all rights and privileges contained in the Master Lease conferred upon Sublessor (as Tenant therein), are hereby conferred and imposed upon Sublessee, to the extent of Sublessee's Percentage. Sublessor covenants and agrees it will make payment of the rentals reserved under the Master Lease as and when due, will perform Sublessor's insurance obligations under the Master Lease, and will otherwise fully and faithfully perform the terms and conditions of the Master Lease with respect to the Sublessor's Percentage. Sublessee covenants and agrees to otherwise fully and faithfully perform the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and the Sublease on its part to be performed. Neither the Sublessor nor Sublessee shall do or cause to be done any act which would or might cause the Master Lease, or the rights of Sublessor as tenant under the Master Lease to be endangered, cancelled, terminated, forfeited or surrendered, or which would or might cause Sublessor to be in default thereunder or liable for any damage, claim or penalty. Sublessee agrees, as an express inducement for Sublessor executing this Sublease, that if there is any conflict between the provisions of the Master Lease and this Sublease which would permit Sublessee to do or cause to be done any act which is prohibited by the Master Lease then the provisions of the Master Lease shall prevail.
