Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, although Landlord has estimated a completion date for Phase 1 of October 1, 1999, the parties agree that if Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion of Phase 1 on or before November 1, 1999 (the “Phase 1 Completion Date”) (subject to any Tenant Delays and Force Majeure events, as hereinafter defined), then, commencing on November 1, 1999, Tenant shall receive a credit against the Base Rent to become due under this Lease in connection with Phase 1, such credit to be equal to one (1) day’s Base Rent for Phase 1 for each day of Landlord’s delay beyond the Phase 1 Completion Date that Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion, subject to the limitations thereon pursuant to subsection (m), below. d. If Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion of Phase 1 on or before November 15, 1999 (the “Phase 1 Extended Completion Date”) (subject to any Tenant Delays and Force Majeure events), then, commencing on November 16, 1999, the Base Rent credit available to Tenant for Phase 1 shall be increased to two (2) days’ Base Rent for each day of Landlord’s delay beyond the Phase 1 Extended Completion Date that Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion, subject to the limitations thereon pursuant to subsection (m), below. e.

If Tenant does not elect to terminate the Lease as provided above, and Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion of Phase 1 on or before May 17, 2000 (the “Phase 1 Extended Outside Completion Date”) (subject to any Tenant Delays but regardless of Force Majeure events), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within ten (10) days after the Phase 1 Extended Outside Completion Date, whereupon (i) Landlord shall return to Tenant the Prepaid Rent and Security Deposit, and (ii) Landlord shall pay to Tenant liquidated damages equal to (x) the total of the Base Rent abatements for Phase 1 accrued to the date of Tenant’s termination notice, plus (y) the total of the $10,000.00 per day damages for Phase 1 accrued to the date of Tenant’s termination notice, plus (z) the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant directly in connection with this Lease, subject to the limitations thereon pursuant to subsection (m), below, and thereupon both parties shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder. If Tenant intends to exercise its termination right under this paragraph, then Tenant will use its best efforts to notify Landlord in writing between April 1, 2000 and May 1, 2000 of such intent, but Tenant’s failure to so notify Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s termination right. h. Although Landlord has estimated a completion date for Phase 2 of October 1, 2001, the parties agree that if Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion of Phase 2 on or before November 1, 2001 (the “Phase 2 Completion Date”) (subject to any Tenant Delays and Force Majeure events, as hereinafter defined), then, commencing on November 1, 2001, Tenant shall receive a credit against the Base Rent to become due under this Lease in connection with Phase 2, such credit to be equal to one (1) day’s Base Rent for Phase 2 for each day of Landlord’s delay beyond the Phase 2 Completion Date that Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion, subject to the limitations thereon pursuant to subsection (m), below. i.

If Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion of Phase 2 on or before January 17, 2002 (the “Phase 2 Outside Completion Date”) (subject to any Tenant Delays and Force Majeure events), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within ten (10) days after the Phase 2 Outside Completion Date, whereupon (i) Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the manner required by this Lease, (ii) Landlord shall return to Tenant the Security Deposit, (iii) Landlord shall pay to Tenant liquidated damages equal to (x) the total of the Base Rent abatements for Phase 2 accrued to the date of Tenant’s termination notice, plus (y) the total of the $10,000.00 per day damages for Phase 2 accrued to the date of Tenant’s termination notice, plus (z) the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant directly in connection with this Lease between the Commencement Date for Phase 1 and the date of Tenant’s termination notice, subject to the limitations thereon pursuant to subsection (m), below, and thereupon both parties shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if Landlord achieves Substantial Completion of Phase 2 within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant’s termination notice, then the termination notice will be deemed to be void and rescinded, and the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s termination notice, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the exact date that Tenant will vacate and surrender Phase 1, which date shall be (a) no earlier than ninety (90) days after the date of Tenant’s notification of such exact date, and (b) no later than one (1) year after the date of Tenant’s termination notice. Rent for Phase 1 shall be prorated through the date that Tenant so vacates and surrenders Phase 1 to Landlord. l. If Tenant does not elect to terminate the Lease as provided above, and Landlord has not achieved Substantial Completion of Phase 2 on or before May 17, 2002 (the “Phase 2 Extended Outside Completion Date”) (subject to any Tenant Delays but regardless of Force Majeure events), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within ten (10) days after the Phase 2 Extended Outside Completion Date, whereupon (i) Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord in the manner required by this Lease, (ii) Landlord shall return to Tenant the Security Deposit, (iii) Landlord shall pay to Tenant liquidated damages equal to (x) the total of the Base Rent abatements for Phase 2 accrued to the date of Tenant’s termination notice, plus (y) the total of the $10,000.00 per day damages for Phase 2 accrued to the date of Tenant’s termination notice, plus (z) the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant directly in connection with this Lease between the Commencement Date for Phase 1 and the date of Tenant’s termination notice, subject to the limitations thereon pursuant to subsection (m), below, and thereupon both parties shall be relieved of all further obligations hereunder.

If Tenant intends to exercise its termination right under this paragraph, then Tenant will use its best efforts to notify Landlord in writing between April 1, 2002 and May 1, 2002 of such intent, but Tenant’s failure to so notify Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s termination right. m. The abatements, liquidated damages and termination rights in favor of Tenant as described above shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event of any late delivery of the Buildings by Landlord, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in no event shall the entire liability of Landlord in connection with the total aggregate amounts of the Base Rent credits, plus the $10,000.00 per day damages, plus the out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant exceed a total amount of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 ($750,000.00) Dollars in the aggregate, regardless of the length of time such rent credits, and/or liquidated damages and/or out-of-pocket costs actually accrue and regardless of whether Tenant terminates this Lease. n.

Agreement and Term This Agreement records the Parties' agreement that:
Term of Agreement and Termination 2.1. This Agreement enters into effect at the time of acceptance of this Agreement. 2.2. This Agreement will terminate without any further notice in the event products offered under this Agreement have not been used during a period of two (2) years. 2.3. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party with 30 days written notice. 2.4. This Agreement may be terminated by SAS with immediate effect if the Company code is used for private purposes or if SAS has reasonable cause to believe that such or similar misuse has occurred or if the Company is put into bankruptcy, enters into liquidation or is otherwise deemed to be insolvent.
Exercisability and Term Each SAR Award Agreement shall specify the date when all or any installment of the SAR is to become exercisable. The SAR Award Agreement shall also specify the term of the SAR. A SAR Award Agreement may provide for accelerated exercisability in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement or other events and may provide for expiration prior to the end of its term in the event of the termination of the Participant’s service. SARs may be awarded in combination with Options, and such an Award may provide that the SARs will not be exercisable unless the related Options are forfeited. A SAR may be included in an ISO only at the time of grant but may be included in an NSO at the time of grant or thereafter. A SAR granted under the Plan may provide that it will be exercisable only in the event of a Change in Control.
Option to Extend Term Tenant shall have the option (“Option”) to extend the Term by five (5) years as to the entire Premises (and no less than the entire Premises) upon the following terms and conditions. Any extension of the Term pursuant to the Option shall be on all the same terms and conditions as this Lease, except as follows: 42.1. Base Rent during the Option term (including annual escalations, if applicable) shall equal the then-current fair market value for comparable office and laboratory space in the Xxxxxx Xxxxx submarket of comparable age, quality, level of finish and proximity to amenities and public transit (“FMV”). Tenant may, no more than twelve (12) months prior to the date the Term is then scheduled to expire, request Landlord’s estimate of the FMV for the Option term. Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, give Tenant a written proposal of such FMV. If Tenant gives written notice to exercise the Option, such notice shall specify whether Tenant accepts Landlord’s proposed estimate of FMV. If Tenant does not accept the FMV, then the parties shall endeavor to agree upon the FMV, taking into account all relevant factors, including (a) the size of the Premises, (b) the length of the Option term, (c) rent in comparable buildings in the relevant submarket, including concessions offered to new tenants, such as free rent, tenant improvement allowances and moving allowances, (d) Tenant’s creditworthiness and (e) the quality and location of the Building and the Project. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the FMV within thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant is exercising the Option, then either party may request that the same be determined as follows: a senior officer of a nationally recognized leasing brokerage firm with local knowledge of the Xxxxxx Xxxxx laboratory/research and development leasing submarket (the “Baseball Arbitrator”) shall be selected and paid for jointly by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Baseball Arbitrator, then the same shall be designated by the local chapter of the American Arbitration Association or any successor organization thereto (the “AAA”). The Baseball Arbitrator selected by the parties or designated by the AAA shall (y) have at least ten (10) years’ experience in the leasing of laboratory/research and development space in the Xxxxxx Xxxxx submarket and (z) not have been employed or retained by either Landlord or Tenant or any affiliate of either for a period of at least ten (10) years prior to appointment pursuant hereto. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall submit to the Baseball Arbitrator and to the other party its determination of the FMV. The Baseball Arbitrator shall grant to Landlord and Tenant a hearing and the right to submit evidence. The Baseball Arbitrator shall determine which of the two (2) FMV determinations more closely represents the actual FMV. The arbitrator may not select any other FMV for the Premises other than one submitted by Landlord or Tenant. The FMV selected by the Baseball Arbitrator shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and shall serve as the basis for determination of Base Rent payable for the Option term. If, as of the commencement date of the Option term, the amount of Base Rent payable during the Option term shall not have been determined, then, pending such determination, Tenant shall pay Base Rent equal to the Base Rent payable with respect to the last year of the then-current Term. After the final determination of Base Rent payable for the Option term, the parties shall promptly execute a written amendment to this Lease specifying the amount of Base Rent to be paid during the Option term. Any failure of the parties to execute such amendment shall not affect the validity of the FMV determined pursuant to this Section. 42.2. The Option is not assignable separate and apart from this Lease. 42.3. The Option is conditional upon Tenant giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise the Option on or before the date that is nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term (such date, the “Option Date”). Time shall be of the essence as to Tenant’s exercise of the Option. Tenant assumes full responsibility for maintaining a record of the deadlines to exercise the Option. Tenant acknowledges that it would be inequitable to require Landlord to accept any exercise of the Option after the date provided for in this Section. 42.4. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise the Option: (a) During the time commencing from the date Landlord delivers to Tenant a written notice that Tenant is in default under any provisions of this Lease and continuing until Tenant has cured the specified default to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction; or (b) At any time after any Default as described in Article 31 of the Lease and continuing until Tenant cures any such Default, if such Default is susceptible to being cured; or (c) In the event that Tenant has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under this Lease two (2) or more times and a service or late charge has become payable under Section 31.1 for each of such defaults during the twelve (12)-month period immediately prior to the date that Tenant intends to exercise the Option, whether or not Tenant has cured such defaults. 42.5. The period of time within which Tenant may exercise the Option shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise such Option because of the provisions of Section 42.4. 42.6. All of Tenant’s rights under the provisions of the Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Option if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the new term, (a) Tenant fails to pay to Landlord a monetary obligation of Tenant for a period of twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant, (b) Tenant fails to commence to cure a default (other than a monetary default) within thirty (30) days after the date Landlord gives notice to Tenant of such default or (c) Tenant has defaulted under this Lease two (2) or more times and a service or late charge under Section 31.1 has become payable for any such default, whether or not Tenant has cured such defaults.

As to a Participating Fund, at the option of each Participating Fund, upon the institution of formal proceedings against Insurance Company by the Commission, National Association of Securities Dealers or any other regulatory body, the expected or anticipated ruling, judgment or outcome of which would, in the Participating Fund's reasonable judgment, materially impair Insurance Company's ability to meet and perform Insurance Company's obligations and duties hereunder. Prompt notice of election to terminate shall be furnished by such Participating Fund with said termination to be effective upon receipt of notice; e.

At the option of a Participating Fund upon a determination by its Board in good faith that it is no longer advisable and in the best interests of shareholders of that Participating Fund to continue to operate pursuant to this Agreement. Termination pursuant to this Subsection (h) shall be effective upon notice by such Participating Fund to Insurance Company of such termination; i. At the option of a Participating Fund if the Contracts cease to qualify as annuity contracts or life insurance policies, as applicable, under the Code, or if such Participating Fund reasonably believes that the Contracts may fail to so qualify; j. At the option of any party to this Agreement, upon another party's breach of any material provision of this Agreement; k. At the option of a Participating Fund, if the Contracts are not registered, issued or sold in accordance with applicable federal and/or state law; or l. Upon assignment of this Agreement, unless made with the written consent of every other non-assigning party. Any such termination pursuant to Section 10.2a, 10.2d, 10.2e, 10.2f or 10.2k herein shall not affect the operation of Article V of this Agreement. Any termination of this Agreement shall not affect the operation of Article IX of this Agreement. 10.3 Notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.2 hereof, each Participating Fund and Dreyfus may, at the option of the Participating Fund, continue to make available additional shares of that Participating Fund for as long as the Participating Fund desires pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as provided below, for all Contracts in effect on the effective date of termination of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as "Existing Contracts").
