Landlord’s Consent Required Except for a Permitted Transfer, as defined below, Tenant shall not transfer any part of the Premises or of its interest in this Lease to any other entity, whether by sale, assignment, mortgage, sublease, license, transfer, operation of law (including, without limitation by merger, consolidation, sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, or otherwise) or act of Tenant (each a “Transfer” ) without Landlord’s prior written consent as provided in Section 13.02 below. Consent to one Transfer does not imply consent to any other Transfer or waive the consent requirement. Any attempted Transfer without consent shall be void at the election of Landlord. Any entity to which a Transfer is made is a “Transferee.” The following transactions (any of them, a “Permitted Transfer”) shall not require the consent of Landlord provided that Landlord shall receive prior notice thereof plus reasonable evidence upon closing that the transaction is in fact one of the following (and provided further that the proposed Transfer complies with all other provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, this Article 13 (other than the first paragraph of this Section 13.01), does not alter Landlord’s rights under this Lease, and does not impose any additional obligation on Landlord): (a) Any Transfer to an entity acquiring all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant, whether by way of merger, consolidation, acquisition or otherwise (any such entity, a “Successor Entity”), so long as the resulting tenant under the Lease has a creditworthiness at least equal to or greater than Tenant’s as of the date of this Lease or at the time of proposed Transfer, whichever is greater; or (b) Any Transfer to an entity directly or indirectly controlled, controlling, or under common control with Tenant (any such entity, a “Related Entity”) so long as in the case of an assignment either the original Tenant or the assignee has a creditworthiness at least equal to or greater than Tenant’s as of the date of this Lease or at the time of proposed Transfer, whichever is greater. For purposes of this clause (b), “control” shall mean possession of more than 50 percent ownership of the shares of beneficial interest of the entity in question together with the power to control and manage the affairs thereof either directly or by election of directors and/or officers. For purposes of this Section 13.01, “substantially all” of Tenant’s assets shall include without limitation the transfer of assets having a value of more than 75% of the total value, as opposed to number, of Tenant’s assets other than (i) by license of the right to use pharmaceutical products developed by Tenant in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, or (ii) in an arm’s length transaction in which Tenant obtains market value for such assets and the consideration paid to Tenant is retained by Tenant and available to pay amounts due under the Lease as they become due, and/or otherwise used by Tenant in the ordinary course of business (i.e., such consideration is not distributed to stockholders or otherwise transferred to another party). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, so long as Tenant’s shares are traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, any sale of Tenant’s shares shall not be deemed a Transfer subject to the provisions of this Article 13. Tenant acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Section 13.01 are material to the transaction contained herein and that Landlord shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies available under this Lease or at law, the right to seek injunctive relief and/or specific performance in order to enforce such covenants.
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. (b) A change in the control of Lessee shall constitute an assignment requiring Lessor's consent. The transfer, on a cumulative basis, of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the voting control of Lessee shall constitute a change in control for this purpose. (c) The involvement of Lessee or its assets in any transaction, or series of transactions (by way of merger, sale, acquisition, financing, refinancing, transfer, leveraged buy-out or otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or Lessee's assets occurs, which results or will result in a reduction of the Net Worth of Lessee, as hereinafter defined, by an amount equal to or greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of such Net Worth of Lessee as it was represented to Lessor at the time of full execution and delivery of this Lease or at the time of the most recent assignment to which Lessor has consented, or as it exists immediately prior to said transaction or transactions constituting such reduction, at whichever time said Net Worth of Lessee was or is greater, shall be considered an assignment of this Lease by Lessee to which Lessor may reasonably withhold its consent. "NET WORTH OF LESSEE" for purposes of this Lease shall be the net worth of Lessee (excluding any Guarantors) established under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
Landlord’s Consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay 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: 14.2.1 The Transferee is of a character or reputation or engaged in a business which is not consistent with the quality of the Building or the Project; 14.2.2 The Transferee is either a governmental agency or instrumentality thereof; 14.2.3 The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities to be undertaken in connection with the Transfer on the date consent is requested; or 14.2.4 The proposed Transfer would cause a violation of another lease for space in the Project, or would give an occupant of the Project a right to cancel its lease. If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 14.2 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 14.4 of this Lease), Tenant may within six (6) months after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of said six-month period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 14.1 of this Lease, provided that if there are any changes in the terms and conditions from those specified in the Transfer Notice such that Landlord would initially have been entitled to refuse its consent to such Transfer under this Section 14.2, Tenant shall again submit the Transfer to Landlord for its approval and other action under this Article 14 (including Landlord’s right of recapture, if any, under Section 14.4 of this Lease). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, if Tenant or any proposed Transferee claims that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or delayed its consent under Section 14.2 or otherwise has breached or acted unreasonably under this Article 14, their sole remedies shall be a suit for contract damages (other than damages for injury to, or interference with, Tenant’s business including, without limitation, loss of profits, however occurring) or declaratory judgment and an injunction for the relief sought, and Tenant hereby waives all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, on behalf of the proposed Transferee.
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 Estoppels (a) Each Seller shall prepare and deliver to each Tenant at such Seller’s Property an estoppel certificate in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Tenant Estoppel”) and request each such Tenant to execute and deliver the Tenant Estoppel to such Seller. Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt return of the executed Tenant Estoppels in substantially the same form as Exhibit A attached hereto from each Tenant at such Seller’s Property prior to the Closing, without the obligation to make any payments or grant any concessions under the Leases. If a Tenant returns an executed Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease as defined below) to such Seller, such Seller shall promptly deliver to the Buyer, or make available on Seller’s transaction website, a copy of such executed Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease, if applicable) following such Seller’s receipt of such Tenant Estoppel (or Lease Required Estoppel or Statement of Lease, if applicable). (b) In the event that the Closing hereunder shall occur simultaneously with the Initial Closing, it shall be a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to close the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets that, on or before the Initial Closing Date, the Sellers deliver to the Buyer from Tenants (other than the GSA and the Tenants of the properties associated with the LLC Interests and the Partnership Interests (as each such term is defined in the Master PSA), unless the applicable joint venture partner elects to sell all of its interest in the applicable joint venture entity and separate agreements for the sale of such properties to the Buyer are entered into as contemplated in Section 3.9(a)(y) and Section 3.9(b)(y), respectively, of the Master PSA) whose Leases comprise at least seventy-five percent (75%) of remaining base rental income over the lease term as of the date of this Agreement as determined in accordance with the schedule delivered by the Sellers to the Buyer prior to the date hereof, signed tenant estoppel certificates that are substantially in the form of either (1) the Tenant Estoppel or (1) except with respect to ROFO Documents and ROFR Documents (for which Tenant Estoppels, and not Lease Required Estoppels, shall be required), with respect to those Leases that contain a required form of specific estoppel that is attached as an exhibit to such Lease, the form of estoppel attached to such Lease (each, a “Lease Required Estoppel”); provided, however, that Buyer may, in its sole discretion, in order to accommodate Serial Closings pursuant to the Master PSA, waive the requirement set forth in this Section 3.4(b), which shall also constitute a waiver of such corresponding requirement in each Other PSA (and in such event, Seller shall be under no obligation to provide a Sellers’ Estoppel Certificate). For purposes of this Section 3.4(b) only, the terms “Tenants” and “Leases” shall refer to the Tenants and the Leases in respect of the Properties to be purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement and the “Tenants” and “Leases” (as each such term is defined in each of the Other PSAs) in respect of the “Properties” (as such term is defined in each of the Other PSAs) to be purchased and sold pursuant to each Other PSA, collectively. No Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel shall be dated earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Initial Closing Date and no such estoppel shall allege any material defaults by the Sellers (except to the extent any such default has been disclosed in writing by the Sellers to the Buyer as of the date of this Agreement) or accrued and outstanding offsets or defenses under the relevant Lease or contain any materially adverse deviations between (A) the information specified in said Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel, as applicable, and (B) (x) the representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement or (y) the Leases to which such Tenant Estoppel or Lease Required Estoppel, as applicable, relate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.4, Sellers shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a Statement of Lease from the GSA with respect to each Lease to which the GSA is a party. The Buyer shall cooperate with the Sellers to obtain (i) any novation of the applicable Lease with the GSA that may be required by the GSA in order to assign the applicable Lease to the Buyer or its applicable Designated Subsidiary and (ii) any Statement of Lease. In the event the GSA requires any Seller to remain liable under the applicable Lease with the GSA after the Closing Date, the Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each such Seller against any Losses (as defined below) arising out of such Lease after the Closing Date except to the extent such Losses are the result of any action taken by any such Seller or its Affiliates with respect to such Leases with the GSA.
Tenant Estoppel Certificates (a) Seller agrees from and after receipt of the Assumption Approval as set forth in Section 9.1 and provided this Agreement is in full force and effect, within five (5) business days after being requested by Purchaser to do so, to deliver to all tenants of the Property a request for an estoppel certificate in the form of EXHIBIT D attached hereto, which form may be revised if so requested by the Existing Lender. The parties agree that, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) below, it shall be a condition to Purchaser's obligation to close under this Agreement that an estoppel certificate either substantially in the form of EXHIBIT D or in the form required by a tenant's Lease, dated not earlier than ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, be delivered to Purchaser no later than five (5) business days before Closing from tenants under the Leases occupying, in the aggregate, not less than 75% of the rentable area of the Property, including all tenants occupying at least a full floor or more of space (a "TENANT ESTOPPEL"), Seller agrees to use good faith efforts to obtain such Tenant Estoppels, provided however, Seller shall not be obligated to pay tenants in order to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at Closing Seller delivers such Tenant Estoppels from tenants occupying at least 60% of the rentable area of the Property, Seller may execute and deliver to Purchaser, at Closing, its own certificate with respect to tenants occupying up to an additional 15% of the rentable area of the Property (substantially in the form of EXHIBIT D or in the form required by a tenant's Lease, appropriately modified to reflect that they are certificates of Seller and made to Seller's knowledge; hereinafter, the "SELLER'S ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE") and the statements of Seller contained therein shall survive the Closing until the earlier of (a) one hundred and eighty (180) days after Closing, or (b) the date Purchaser obtains an estoppel certificate from a tenant for whom Seller delivered a Seller's Estoppel Certificate. (b) The parties agree that each Tenant Estoppel containing non-material exceptions, qualifications or modifications shall be deemed to be an acceptable estoppel certificate for purposes of this Section 7.4.5. In the event a Tenant Estoppel contains a material exception or qualification or alleges a material default by Seller (collectively, a "MATERIAL DEFAULT"), subject to the following provisions of this Section 7.4.5), Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller, on the earlier of five (5) business days after the date of delivery to Purchaser of a Tenant Estoppel alleging a Material Default or the Closing Date (the "ESTOPPEL TERMINATION NOTICE"), time being of the essence as to the giving of such notice. If Purchaser shall timely give the Estoppel Termination Notice, then subject to Seller's option set forth below, this Agreement shall terminate, and upon such termination, Purchaser shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit Note and all interest thereon, and neither party shall have any obligation hereunder other than as may be expressly provided for in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement if Tenant Estoppel(s) allege Material Default(s) if (x) such Material Default(s) can be remedied by the performance of work costing not more than $50,000 in the aggregate for all such Tenant Estoppel(s) or the payment of money not exceeding $50,000 in the aggregate with respect to such tenants and (y) Seller elects (by written notice to Purchaser given simultaneously with Seller's delivery of such Tenant Estoppel to Purchaser), at Seller's option (but Seller shall have no obligation), to cure the nonconforming matter set forth in such estoppel by either performing or causing to be performed the work on or prior to the Closing Date, by paying the money on or prior to the Closing Date, or by granting Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount reasonably necessary to perform such work, as reasonably determined by Seller and Purchaser, in which event Seller shall, at or before the Closing, cure, perform, pay or grant Purchaser a credit with respect to the same.

The undersigned Tenant hereby certifies that it is the tenant under the Lease. Tenant hereby further acknowledges that it has been advised that the Lease may be collaterally assigned in connection with a proposed financing secured by the Property and/or may be assigned in connection with a sale of the Property and certifies both to Landlord and to any and all prospective mortgagees and purchasers of the Property, including any trustee on behalf of any holders of notes or other similar instruments, any holders from time to time of such notes or other instruments, and their respective successors and assigns (the “Beneficiaries”) that as of the date hereof:
