(A) Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with others, subject to the terms of this Lease, the following areas (“Common Areas”): (a) the common lobbies, corridors, stairways, elevators and mechanical, janitorial and electrical rooms of the Building, and the pipes, ducts, shafts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment serving the Premises in common with others, (b) the loading areas serving the Building and the common walkways and driveways necessary for access to the Building, and (c) if the Premises include less than the entire rentable floor area of any floor, the common toilets, corridors and elevator lobby of such floor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Landlord has no obligation to allow any particular telecommunication service provider to have access to the Building or to Tenant’s premises, but Landlord shall not be unreasonable in denying such access. If Landlord permits such access, Landlord may condition such access upon the payment to Landlord by the service provider of fees assessed by Landlord in its reasonable discretion.
(B) Landlord reserves the right, provided the same is done without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use, to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, wherever located. Except in the case of emergencies or for normal cleaning or maintenance, Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any of the foregoing which require work in the Premises.
4
(C) Landlord reserves all rights of ownership and use in all respects outside the Premises. Landlord shall have the right to change and rearrange the Common Areas, to change, relocate and eliminate facilities therein, to permit the use of or lease all or part thereof for exhibitions and displays and to sell, lease or dedicate all or part thereof to public use; and further to make changes in the Building and other structures and improvements on the Land, except the Premises; as long as Tenant at all times has reasonable access to the Building and Premises.
ARTICLE 3
LEASE TERM AND EXTENSION OPTIONS
3.1 | TERM. The Term of this Lease shall be the period specified in Section 1.1 hereof as the “Lease Term”, unless sooner terminated or extended as herein provided. |
3.2 | EXTENSION OPTIONS. |
(A) On the conditions that, both at the time of exercise of the option to extend and as of the commencement of the Extended Term in question: (i) there exists no Event of Default, (ii) this Lease is still in full force and effect, and (iii) Tenant, itself, a Permitted Tenant Successor, and/or Tenant Affiliates occupy one hundred percent (100%) of the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises, then Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term hereof from the original expiration date hereof for one (1) period of one (1) year. The option period is sometimes referred to as an “Extended Term.” Such extension shall be on all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that the Annual Fixed Rent shall be equal to the Fair Market Rental Value, as determined below, as of the commencement of the Extended Term in question, and Landlord has no obligation to provide any construction allowance or to perform any work to the Premises as a result of such extension.
(B) In order to exercise an option to extend the Term, Tenant shall give notice (“Tenant’s Extension Notice”) thereof to Landlord, not earlier than twelve (12) months nor later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Term of this Lease, whereupon Landlord shall tell Tenant the proposed Annual Fixed Rent for the applicable Extended Term (“Landlord’s Quotation”). Such Tenant’s Extension Notice shall be irrevocable. Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree on the Annual Fixed Rent for such Extended Term within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s Quotation (the “Negotiation Period”). If Landlord and Tenant have not so agreed and executed a written instrument evidencing such agreement within the Negotiation Period, then Landlord and Tenant shall each, within seven (7) days from the expiration of the Negotiation Period, designate an independent, licensed real estate broker, who shall have more than five (5) years’ experience as a real estate broker specializing in commercial leasing and who shall be familiar with the commercial real estate market in which the Building is located. Said brokers shall each determine the Fair Market Rent for the Premises within fifteen (15) days. If the lower of the two determinations is not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of
5
the higher of the two determinations, then the Fair Market Rent shall be the average of the two determinations. If the lower of the two determinations is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the higher of the two determinations, then the two brokers shall render separate written reports of their determinations and within fifteen (15) days thereafter the two brokers shall appoint a third broker with like qualifications. Such third broker shall be furnished the written reports of the first two brokers. Within fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the third (3rd) broker, the third broker shall appraise the Fair Market Rent. The Fair Market Rent for purposes of this Section shall equal the average of the two closest determinations; provided, however, that (a) if any one determination is agreed upon by any two of the brokers, then the Fair Market Rent shall be such determination, and (b) if any one determination is equidistant from the other two determinations, then the Market Rent shall be such middle determination. The Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term in question shall be the Fair Market Rent as so determined. Landlord and Tenant shall each bear the cost of its broker and shall share equally the cost of the third broker. Among the factors to be considered in determining Fair Market Rent shall be the rental rates then being obtained for renewal leases for similar space in office buildings of similar quality, in similar locations, that are of comparable age to the Building and are leased to first-class private sector tenants. All determinations shall reflect market conditions expected to exist as of the date Annual Fixed Rent based on Fair Market Rent is to commence.
(C) Upon the timely giving of Tenant’s Extension Notice, the term of this Lease shall be automatically extended for the applicable Extended Term without the execution of any additional documents, and all references to the Lease Term or the Term of this Lease shall mean the Lease Term, as so extended, unless the context clearly otherwise requires. As soon as it is determined, Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into a document setting forth the Annual Fixed Rent for the applicable Extended Term. If Tenant shall not timely give Tenant’s Extension Notice, then Tenant’s extension option shall be void and of no further force and effect.
ARTICLE 4
4.1 | Tenant has inspected the Premises and agrees (a) to accept possession of the Premises in the condition existing on the Commencement Date “as is”, and (b) except as set forth below in this Article 4 or in the Workletter Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C, Landlord has no obligation to perform any work, supply any materials, incur any expense or make any alterations or improvements to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy. Tenant’s occupancy of any part of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Landlord has substantially completed any work to be performed by Landlord under this Lease, Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises in its then current condition and at the time such possession was taken, the Premises and the Building were in a good and satisfactory condition as required by this Lease. |
6
ARTICLE 5
5.3 | SUSTAINABLE BUILDING OPERATIONS. |
(A) Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may elect to operate the Building in accordance with sustainable building practices as designated by Landlord. Tenant shall, in the performance of Tenant’s maintenance obligations hereunder, as well as in connection with any work undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant pursuant to this Lease, comply with the minimum standards of such sustainability practices, in addition to all applicable laws. The foregoing obligation shall also apply to any material purchased by or for Tenant in connection with such maintenance and/or work, as well as the disposal of waste by Tenant or anyone performing work on behalf of Tenant.
(B) Tenant shall use proven energy and carbon reduction measures, including energy efficient bulbs in task lighting; closing shades on the south side of the Building to avoid overheating the space when seasonally appropriate; turning off lights and equipment at the end of the work day (unless such items are required to be kept on for remote access); purchasing Energy Star qualified equipment, including but not limited to lighting, office equipment, commercial and residential kitchen equipment, vending and ice machines; and purchasing products certified by the EPA Water Sense program.
7
ARTICLE 6
6.2 | RENT COMMENCEMENT DATE. The Rent Commencement Date of the Lease shall be the date that is three (3) months following the Commencement Date and is estimated to be June 1, 2013. |
In the event the Rent Commencement Date, as determined pursuant to the foregoing is other than the first day of a calendar month, the expiration of the initial Term hereunder shall be extended to the close of the day on the last day of the calendar month in which the Term Expiration Date otherwise would fall.
Upon establishment of the Rent Commencement Date by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall execute, within ten (10) days of demand by either party, an agreement specifying the Commencement Date, Rent Commencement Date and the Expiration Date.
ARTICLE 7
7.1 | TAXES. |
(A) DEFINITIONS. With reference to the real estate taxes referred to in this Article VI, it is agreed that terms used herein are defined as follows:

8

If during the Lease Term the Tax Year is changed by applicable law to less than a full 12-month period, the Base Taxes and Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises shall each be proportionately reduced.
9
Allocable to the Premises for a full Tax Year exceed Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises or for any such fraction of a Tax Year exceed the corresponding fraction of Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Tax Excess”), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount of such Tax Excess. Monthly payments by Tenant on account of any Tax Excess, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, shall be made at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent. Following the end of each Tax Year, Landlord shall submit a statement showing (1) Tenant’s share of any Tax Excess actually incurred during the preceding Tax Year, and (2) the aggregate amount of Tenant’s estimated payments during such year. If such statement indicates that the aggregate amount of such estimated payments exceeds Tenant’s actual liability, then Tenant shall deduct the net overpayment from its next monthly rental payment (or, if the Lease Term has expired, Landlord shall promptly reimburse to Tenant the amount of the overpayment). If such statement indicates that Tenant’s actual liability exceeds the aggregate amount of such estimated payments, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess within thirty (30) days following its receipt of Landlord’s statement. Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations to make the payments described in the foregoing sentences shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.

Following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall submit a statement showing (1) Tenant’s responsibility for any Operating Cost Excess actually incurred during the preceding calendar year, and (2) the aggregate amount of Tenant’s estimated payments during such year. If such statement indicates that the aggregate amount of such estimated payments exceeds Tenant’s actual liability, then Tenant shall deduct the net overpayment from its next monthly rental payment (or, if the Lease Term has expired, Landlord shall promptly reimburse to Tenant the amount of the overpayment). If such statement indicates that Tenant’s actual liability exceeds the aggregate amount of such estimated payments, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess within thirty (30) days following its receipt of Landlord’s statement.

The statement of Operating Expenses submitted by Landlord under this Section 7.3(C) shall become binding and conclusive if not contested by Tenant within ninety (90) days after it is rendered.
ARTICLE 8
LANDLORD’S REPAIRS AND SERVICES
13
8.2 | WAIVER OF SUBROGATION APPLICABLE. The provisions of this Article 8 shall be subject to the waiver of subrogation contained in Article 13. |
The parties agree to comply with all mandatory energy or water conservation controls and requirements applicable to office buildings that are imposed or instituted by the Federal, state or local governments, or are required pursuant to Section 5.3(B) hereof, including without limitation, controls on the permitted range of temperature settings in office buildings and requirements necessitating curtailment of the volume of energy or water consumption or the hours of operation of the Building. Any terms or conditions of this Lease that conflict or interfere with compliance with such controls or requirements shall be suspended for the duration of such controls or requirements. It is further agreed that compliance with such controls or requirements shall not be considered an eviction, actual or constructive, of the Tenant from the Premises and shall not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to an abatement of any rent payable hereunder. Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant whatsoever as a result of Landlord’s failure or inability to furnish any of the utilities or services to be furnished by Landlord hereunder, nor shall such failure or inability be considered an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises. Should any of the Building equipment or machinery break down, or for any cause or reason cease to function properly, Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to repair the same promptly, but Tenant shall have no claim for abatement of rental or for any damages on account of any interruptions in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom; provided, however, that if such failure (i) is within Landlord’s reasonable control to remedy, (ii) is continuous for five (5) business days, and (iii) renders the Premises or material portion thereof untenantable, then rent shall xxxxx from the sixth (6th) business day of such failure until the Premises are tenantable again.
8.4 | ELECTRICITY. |
(A) If Tenant requires electric current for use in the Premises in excess of the amount required for general business office use and if in Landlord’s reasonable judgment,
14
(i) Landlord’s facilities are inadequate for such excess requirements or (ii) such excess use shall result in an additional burden on the Building air conditioning system and additional cost to Landlord on account thereof then, as the case may be, (x) Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, will furnish and install such additional wire, conduits, feeders, switchboards and equipment as may be required to supply such additional requirements of Tenant, provided that the same shall be permitted by law and applicable insurance requirements and shall not cause damage to the Building or the Premises or cause or create a dangerous or hazardous condition, or (y) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such additional cost, as aforesaid.
(B) Tenant agrees that it will not make any material alteration or addition to the electrical equipment in the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
(C) Landlord will furnish electricity to the Premises through presently installed electrical facilities for Tenant’s reasonable use for lighting, electrical appliances and equipment. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, the sum of $4,500.00 per year ($1.50/rentable square foot/year) in equal monthly installments with Base Rent. Said Additional Rent shall be subject to proportionate increase(s), from time to time and at any time throughout the Term, to the extent that the rate charged to Landlord by the utility company providing electricity to the Building is increased. Tenant agrees that, at Landlord’s sole option, an electrical consultant, selected by Landlord, may make periodic surveys of the electrical equipment in the Premises. In the event such survey(s) indicate that Tenant’s use of electricity is greater than $1.50 per rentable square foot, the electricity charge shall be adjusted accordingly. In the event that the Premises is separately metered for electrical usage, Tenant shall pay all applicable utility charges directly to the provider of such utility. Landlord reserves the right to change electricity providers at any time, and to purchase green or renewable energy, provided that such change will not materially adversely affect Tenant.
8.5 | NO LIABILITY. |
(A) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business arising from the necessity of Landlord or its agents entering the Premises in accordance herewith for any purposes in this Lease authorized, or for repairing the Premises or any portion of the Building however the necessity may occur. In case Landlord is prevented or delayed from making any repairs, or furnishing any services or performing any other obligation hereunder, by reason of any cause reasonably beyond Landlord’s control, or for any cause due to any act or neglect of Tenant or any Tenant Party, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, and except as expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises.
(B) Landlord reserves the right to stop any service or utility system, in case of accident or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been completed. Landlord shall
15
exercise reasonable diligence to restore such service or utility. Except in case of emergency, Landlord will give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any contemplated stoppage and will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary inconvenience to Tenant by reason of such stoppage.
ARTICLE 9
If repairs are required to be made by Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof, Landlord may demand that Tenant make the same forthwith, and if Tenant refuses or neglects to commence such repairs and complete the same with reasonable dispatch after such demand, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) make or cause such repairs to be made and shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s stock or business by reason thereof. If Landlord makes or causes such repairs to be made, Tenant agrees that Tenant will forthwith on demand, pay to Landlord the cost thereof together with interest thereon at the rate specified in Section 15.5, and if Tenant shall default in such payment, Landlord shall have the remedies provided for non-payment of rent or other charges payable hereunder.
16
ARTICLE 10
10.3 |

Landlord shall have the right to repair at Tenant’s expense all damage and injury to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal or to require Tenant to do the same. If any such Alterations, furniture, furnishing or equipment is not removed by Tenant prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, then the same shall become Landlord’s property and shall be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to remove from the Premises at Tenant’s expense such furniture, furnishing or equipment and any Alteration other than those set forth on Exhibit C which Landlord designates in writing for removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, upon submitting its request to make any Alteration, shall have the right to request therein that Landlord specify whether and to what extent Landlord will require Tenant to remove the Alterations in question at the end of the Term. If Tenant submits its request for such information in accordance with the foregoing provision and Landlord consents to the Alterations requested, Landlord shall, together with its consent, specify in writing whether and to what extent it will require Tenant to remove the Alterations in question at the end of the Term, and if Landlord fails to specify, Tenant shall have no further obligation to remove the Alterations which were subject of Tenant’s request. |

green building clauses in this Lease, and (iii) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, has the financial capability to undertake and perform its obligations under this Lease or under the sublease. No assignment or transfer of this Lease may be effected by operation of law or otherwise without Landlord’s prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord’s acceptance or collection of rent from any assignee, subtenant or occupant shall not be construed as a consent to or acceptance of such assignee, subtenant or occupant as a tenant. Landlord’s consent to any assignment, subletting or occupancy, or Landlord’s acceptance or collection of rent from any assignee, subtenant or occupant, shall not be construed (i) as a waiver or release of Tenant from liability for the performance of any obligation to be performed under this Lease by Tenant, or (ii) as relieving Tenant or any assignee, subtenant or occupant from the obligation of obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent to any subsequent assignment, subletting or occupancy. Tenant hereby collaterally assigns to Landlord any rent due from any assignee, subtenant or occupant of Tenant as security for Tenant’s performance of its obligations pursuant to this Lease. Tenant authorizes each such assignee, subtenant or occupant to pay such rent directly to Landlord if such assignee, subtenant or occupant receives written notice from Landlord stating that an Event of Default exists under this Lease and specifying that such rent shall be paid directly to Landlord. Any such payments made by any assignee, subtenant or occupant shall be credited against the monthly amounts owed by Tenant under this Lease. Each sublease shall provide that, at Landlord’s election, the subtenant agrees to attorn to Landlord or enter into a direct lease with Landlord on the same terms as the sublease in the event this Lease is terminated by reason of an Event of Default by Tenant. Tenant shall not mortgage this Lease without Landlord’s consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. All restrictions and obligations imposed pursuant to this Lease on Tenant shall be deemed to extend to any subtenant, assignee or occupant of Tenant, and Tenant shall cause such persons to comply with all such restrictions and obligations. |
If Tenant is a partnership, then any dissolution of Tenant or a withdrawal or change, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of partners owning a controlling interest in Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease. If Tenant is a corporation, then any dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or any sale or transfer of a controlling interest in the capital stock of Tenant, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease.
11.2 |
19
Tenant Affiliate, and if such cessation was contemplated at the time of the assignment or subletting, such cessation shall be considered an assignment or subletting requiring Landlord’s consent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not require the consent of Landlord hereunder as a result of any infusion of additional equity capital in Tenant or an initial public offering of equity securities of Tenant. |
For the purposes hereof a “Recapture Offer” shall be defined as a notice from Tenant to Landlord which:
States that Tenant desires to sublet the Premises, or a portion thereof, or to assign its interest in this Lease.
Identifies the affected portion of the Premises (“Recapture Premises”).
Identifies the rental rate of the proposed subletting or assignment.
Offers to Landlord to terminate the Lease in respect of the Recapture Premises (in the case of a proposed assignment of Tenant’s interest in the Lease or a subletting for the remainder of the Term of the Lease) or to suspend the Lease Term in respect of the Recapture Period (meaning that the Lease Term in respect of the Recapture Premises shall be terminated during the Recapture Period, and Tenant’s rental obligations shall be proportionately reduced, and at the expiration of the Recapture Period the Recapture Premises will be returned to Tenant under the terms of the Lease), in either case as of a specified date (the “Release Date”).
Landlord shall have forty-five (45) days (the “Acceptance Period”) from Landlord’s receipt of the Recapture Offer to accept it, in which case all obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the Lease with respect to the Recapture Premises for the Recapture Period shall cease and terminate and, if applicable, Landlord shall be obligated to physically separate the Recapture Premises from the remainder of the Premises at its expense. In the event that Landlord shall not exercise its termination or suspension rights as aforesaid, or shall fail to give any timely notice pursuant to this Section, the provisions of Sections 11.4-11.7 shall be applicable. This Section 11.3 shall not be applicable to an assignment or sublease pursuant to Section 11.2.
11.4 |
20
Tenant first obtains the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to such a proposed assignment or subleasing if: |
the proposed assignee or subtenant is a tenant in the Building or is (or within the previous sixty (60) days has been) in active negotiation with Landlord for premises in the Building or is not of a character consistent with the operation of a first class office building (by way of example Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to an assignment or subleasing to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency), or
the proposed assignee or subtenant is not of good character and reputation, or
the proposed assignee or subtenant does not possess adequate financial capability to perform the Tenant obligations as and when due or required, or
the assignee or subtenant proposes to use the Premises (or part thereof) for a purpose other than the Permitted Use, or
the character of the business to be conducted or the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee shall (i) be likely to increase Operating Expenses for the Building beyond that which Landlord now incurs for use by Tenant; (ii) be likely to increase the burden on elevators or other Building systems or equipment over the burden prior to such proposed subletting or assignment; or (iii) violate or be likely to violate any provisions or restrictions contained herein relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises, or
there shall be existing an Event of Default.
This Section 11.4 shall not be applicable to an assignment or sublease pursuant to Section 11.2.
21
If Landlord shall consent to the proposed assignment or subletting, then Tenant may thereafter sublease the whole or any part of the Premises or assign pursuant to the Proposed Transfer Notice; provided, however, that if such assignment or sublease shall not be executed and delivered to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the date of Landlord’s consent, the consent shall be deemed null and void and the provisions of Section 11.3 shall again be applicable.
11.7 | ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS. |
(A) No assignment or subletting under this Article 11 shall be valid unless both Tenant and the assignee or sublessee agree directly with Landlord to be bound by all the obligations of the Tenant hereunder (including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and to comply with the provisions of this Article 11). Such agreement shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. No such assignment or subletting shall relieve the Tenant named herein of any of its obligations under this Lease. The provisions hereof shall not constitute a recognition of the assignment or the assignee thereunder or the sublease or the subtenant thereunder, as the case may be, and at Landlord’s option, upon the termination of the Lease, the assignment or sublease shall be terminated.
(B) Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord for the reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s request for Landlord to give its consent to any assignment, subletting or occupancy.
(C) No assignment or subletting under any of the provisions of Sections 11.2 or 11.4 shall in any way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting.

ARTICLE 12
LIABILITY OF LANDLORD AND TENANT
12.2 | INDEMNITIES. |
(A) Without limiting any other provisions hereof, but subject to the waiver of subrogation contained in Section 13.3 hereof. Tenant agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and save Landlord and its partners, affiliates, officers, agents, servants and employees and Landlord’s management, leasing and redevelopment agents from and against all liability to third parties arising out of the use of the Premises or the acts or omissions of Tenant or its servants, agents, employees, contractors, suppliers, workers or invitees. To the extent not prohibited by law and subject to the waiver of subrogation contained in Section 13.3, Landlord and its partners, affiliates, officers, agents, servants and employees shall not be liable for any damage either to person, property or business resulting from the loss of the use thereof sustained by Tenant or by other persons due to the Building or any part thereof or any appurtenances thereto becoming out of repair, or due to the happening of any accident or event in or about the Building, including the Premises, or due to any act or neglect of any tenant or occupant of the Building or of any other person, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors. This provision shall apply particularly, but not exclusively, to damage caused by gas, electricity, snow, ice, frost, steam, sewage, sewer gas or odors, fire, water or by the bursting or leaking of pipes, faucets, sprinklers, plumbing fixtures and windows, and except as provided above, shall apply without distinction as to the person whose act or neglect was responsible for the damage and shall apply whether the damage was due to any of the causes specifically enumerated above or to some other cause of an entirely different kind. Tenant further agrees that all personal property upon the Premises, or upon loading docks, recovering and holding areas, or freight elevators of the Building, shall be at the risk of Tenant only, and that Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage thereto or theft thereof.
23
(B) Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant, its officers, employees and agents harmless from and against all costs, damages, claims, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered by or claimed against Tenant, directly or indirectly, based on or arising out of any negligent or wrongful act or omission of Landlord or its agents or employees. In the event Tenant shall, without fault on its part, be made a party to any litigation commenced by or against Landlord (other than a suit commenced by one party to this Lease against the other), then Landlord shall protect and hold them harmless, and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid by Tenant in connection with such litigation.
ARTICLE 13
Commercial General Liability insurance, in occurrence form, covering bodily injury or death to persons and damage to or destruction of property, and including contractual liability coverage for Tenant’s indemnity obligations required by this Lease to afford protection of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and $5,000,000 combined single limit in the aggregate for any one accident;

coverage on behalf of Landlord against rental loss in an amount equal to the Base Rent then payable for the upcoming period of not less than twelve months.
Tenant shall, prior to the commencement of the Lease Term and on each anniversary of the Commencement Date and/or renewal date thereof, furnish to Landlord certificate(s) evidencing such coverage, which certificate(s) shall state that such insurance coverage may not be changed or canceled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord and Tenant. The insurance maintained by Tenant shall be deemed to be primary insurance and any insurance maintained by Landlord shall be deemed secondary thereto.
13.3 |
25
and Tenant each agree to give to each insurance company which has issued, or in the future may issue, to it policies of property insurance, written notice of the terms of this mutual waiver, and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waiver. |
13.4 | LANDLORD’S INSURANCE. Landlord shall maintain (a) a policy of commercial general liability insurance, with a broad form comprehensive liability endorsement, on an occurrence basis, in an amount not less than $5,000,000 combined single limit per location, and (b) a policy of insurance against all direct risk of physical loss to the Building in an amount not less than eighty percent (80%) of the full replacement value of the Building above foundation walls. All insurance required to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall be maintained with responsible companies qualified to do business, and in good standing, in Massachusetts and which have a rating of at least “A-” and are within a financial size category of not less than “Class VIII” in the most current Best’s Key Rating Guide (or another rating reasonably selected by Landlord if such Guide is no longer published). |

The minimum A.M. Best’s rating of each insurer is A-/VII. Tenant must obtain Landlord’s written permission to waive any of the above requirements. Higher amounts may be required by Landlord if the work to be performed is deemed by Landlord to be hazardous. Tenant will obtain and keep on file a certificate of insurance which shows
26
that each such party is so insured. Landlord will be named as an additional insured with respect to Contractors’ and Subcontractors’ Auto Liability, Commercial General Liability and Excess Liability policies. Landlord must obtain indemnification and hold harmless provisions in favor of Landlord, Property Manager and Tenant.
ARTICLE 14
14.3 |
27
quasi-public use or purpose, Landlord shall have the right, exercisable at its sole direction, to cancel the Lease upon not less than sixty (60) days notice prior to the date of cancellation designated in the notice. No money or other consideration shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant for the right of cancellation and Tenant shall have no right to share in the condemnation award or in any judgment for damages caused by such taking or condemnation. |
ARTICLE 15
15.2 |
28
take possession of the Premises. The provisions of this Article shall operate as a notice to quit, any other notice to quit or of Landlord’s intention to re-enter the Premises being hereby expressly waived. If necessary, Landlord may proceed to recover possession of the Premises under and by virtue of the laws of Massachusetts, or by such other proceedings, including re-entry and possession, as may be applicable. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and/or elects to terminate Tenant’s right of possession, then everything contained in this Lease to be done and performed by Landlord shall cease, without prejudice, however, to Landlord’s right to recover from Tenant all rent and other sums accrued through the later of termination or Landlord’s recovery of possession. Whether or not this Lease and/or Tenant’s right of possession is terminated, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, relet the Premises or any part thereof, alone or together with other premises, for such rent and upon such terms and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent and alterations of the Premises) as Landlord, in its sole discretion, may determine, but Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant’s obligations be diminished by reason of, Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises or collect any rent due upon such reletting. Whether or not this Lease is terminated, Tenant nevertheless shall remain liable for any Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or damages which may be due or sustained prior to such default, all costs, fees and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, brokerage fees and expenses incurred in placing the Premises in first-class rentable condition) incurred by Landlord in pursuit of its remedies and in renting the Premises to others from time to time. Tenant shall also be liable for additional damages which at Landlord’s election shall be either: |
an amount equal to the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent which would have become due during the remainder of the Lease Term, less the amount of rental, if any, which Landlord receives during such period from others to whom the Premises may be rented (other than any Additional Rent payable as a result of any failure of such other person to perform any of its obligations), which damages shall be computed and payable in monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month following Tenant’s default and continuing until the date on which the Lease Term would have expired but for Tenant’s default. Separate suits may be brought to collect any such damages for any month(s), and such suits shall not in any manner prejudice Landlord’s right to collect any such damages for any subsequent month(s), or Landlord may defer any such suit until after the expiration of the Lease Term, in which event the cause of action shall be deemed not to have accrued until the expiration of the Lease Term. Landlord agrees that if the Premises are relet, Landlord shall act reasonably to obtain a fair market rental value for the Premises; or
an amount equal to the present value (as of the date of the termination of this Lease) of the difference between (i) the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent which would have become due during the remainder of the Lease Term, and (ii) the fair market rental value of the Premises for the same period, which damages shall be
29
payable to Landlord in one lump sum on demand. For purpose of this Section, present value shall be computed by discounting at a rate equal to one (1) whole percentage point above the discount rate then in effect at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

business and then only in strict compliance with all applicable “Environmental Laws” (as hereinafter defined). Any such Hazardous Substances permitted on the Premises, and all containers therefor, shall be used, kept, stored and disposed of in a manner that complies with all Environmental Laws. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless the Landlord from any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, expenses or liabilities (including, without limitation, any and all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant and expert fees) arising during or after the Term from or in connection with the use, storage, generation or disposal of Hazardous Substances in, on or about the Land, Building or Premises by Tenant, Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees. |
Tenant agrees that if it or anyone claiming under it shall generate, store, release, spill, dispose of or transfer to the Premises, Building, or Land any Hazardous Substances, it shall forthwith remove the same, at its sole cost and expense, in the manner provided by all applicable Environmental Laws (as hereinafter defined), regardless of when such Hazardous Substances shall be discovered. Furthermore, Tenant shall pay any fines, penalties, or other assessments imposed by any governmental agency with respect to any such Hazardous Substances and shall forthwith repair and restore any portion of the Premises or Property which it shall disturb in so removing any such Hazardous Substances to the condition which existed prior to Tenant’s disturbance thereof.
Tenant agrees to deliver promptly to Landlord any notices, orders, or similar documents received from any governmental agency or official concerning any violation of any Environmental Laws or with respect to any Hazardous Substances affecting the Premises or Property. In addition, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of receipt, accurately complete any questionnaires from Landlord or other informational requests relating to Tenant’s use of the Premises and, in particular, to Tenant’s use, generation, storage and/or disposal of Hazardous Substances at, to, or from the Premises.

surrender shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Premises as an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises. |
(B) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition as required by Sections 9.1 and 10.3, first removing all goods and effects of Tenant and completing such other removals as may be permitted or required pursuant to Section 10.3.
(B) Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the Broker; and in the event any claim is made against the Tenant relative to Landlord’s dealings with brokers other than the Broker, Landlord shall defend the claim and indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim.
(C) Landlord agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of a brokerage commission to the Broker pursuant to the terms of a separate written agreement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all such notices shall be effective when received; provided, that (i) if receipt is refused, notice shall be effective upon the first occasion that such receipt is refused or (ii) if the notice is unable to be delivered due to a change of address of which no notice was given, notice shall be effective upon the date such delivery was attempted.
Where provision is made for the attention of an individual or department, the notice shall be effective only if the wrapper in which such notice is sent is addressed to the attention of such individual or department.
Any notice given by an attorney on behalf of Landlord or by Landlord’s managing agent shall be considered as given by Landlord and shall be fully effective.
17.12 | PARAGRAPH HEADINGS. The paragraph headings throughout this instrument are for convenience and reference only, and shall not be considered in construing the provisions of this Lease. |
35
of a Mortgage, executed and recorded prior to the Date of this Lease, shall so elect, this Lease, and the rights of Tenant hereunder, shall be superior in right to the rights of such holder, with the same force and effect as if this Lease had been executed, delivered and recorded, or a statutory Notice hereof recorded, prior to the execution, delivery and recording of any such Mortgage. The election of any such holder shall become effective upon either notice from such holder to Tenant or by the recording in the appropriate registry or recorder’s office of an instrument in which such holder subordinates its rights under such Mortgage to this Lease. |
If in connection with obtaining financing a bank, insurance company, pension trust or other institutional lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant’s rights hereunder.
That the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such Mortgage, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect; and
That, except as aforesaid, such holder shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s Mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises.
No Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent may be paid by Tenant more than thirty (30) days in advance except with such holder’s prior written consent, and any such payment without such consent shall not be binding on such holder.
17.16 | CERTAIN TENANT COVENANTS. Tenant covenants during the Lease Term and for such further time as Tenant occupies any part of the Premises: |
(A) To pay when due all Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent.
(B) To pay all reasonable costs, including attorneys’ and other fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the enforcement by Landlord of any obligations of Tenant under this Lease or in connection with any bankruptcy case involving Tenant or any guarantor.
36
37
Landlord’s right to evict Tenant and to recover damages, and Tenant shall be liable for all loss, cost and damage incurred by Landlord resulting from Tenant’s failure and delay in surrendering the Premises. All property which remains in the Building or the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be conclusively deemed to be abandoned and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any part thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option against the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any arrears of rent or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease and at law and in equity. |
17.22 | TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Lease. |
17.23 | COUNTERPARTS. This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. |
38
17.26 | NO PARTNERSHIP. The relationship of the parties hereto is that of landlord and tenant and no partnership, joint venture or participation is hereby created. |
17.27 | SECURITY DEPOSIT. |
(A) Simultaneously with Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to maintain the Security Deposit in a separate account. Except as may be required by law, Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall be security for Tenant’s performance of its obligations under this Lease. Within five (5) days after Tenant’s receipt of written notice of Landlord’s use of the Security Deposit or portion thereof as a result of a default by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord cash in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its amount prior to such use, and Tenant’s failure to do so shall constitute a default hereunder. Within approximately thirty (30) days after the later of (a) the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, or (b) Tenant’s vacating the Premises, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit less (i) such portion thereof as Landlord shall have used to satisfy Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and (ii) such portion thereof as Landlord reasonably determines will be sufficient to satisfy Tenant’s obligations concerning payment of Tenant’s Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses which will not be finally determined until after the end of the calendar year in which the Lease Term ends. If Landlord transfers the Security Deposit to any transferee of the Building or Landlord’s interest therein, then such transferee shall be liable to Tenant for the return of the Security Deposit (which liability for the return of the Security Deposit shall be confirmed in writing to Tenant, upon Tenant’s request for such confirmation), and Landlord shall be released from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. The holder of any Mortgage shall not be liable for the return of the Security Deposit unless such holder actually receives the Security Deposit.
(B) At Tenant’s election and with Landlord’s prior consent, the Security Deposit may be in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) from a U.S. banking institution reasonably acceptable to Landlord, insured by a federal insurance agency and authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Issuer”). The Issuer must have long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations rated in the highest category by at least two of Fitch Ratings Ltd. (“Fitch”, which highest rating currently is AAA), Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”, which highest rating currently is Aaa), and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”, which highest rating currently is AAA), or their respective successors (collectively, the “Rating Agencies”), and must have a short term deposit rating in the highest category from at least two Rating Agencies (which currently would be F1 from Fitch, P-1 from Moody’s, and A-1 from S&P). The qualifications in the
39
preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Issuer Qualifications.” The Letter of Credit shall (i) meet the requirements of the International Standby Practice ISP98, International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) Publication No. 590, (ii) name Landlord as beneficiary, (iii) be in the amount of the Security Deposit, (iv) be payable in full or partial draws against Landlord’s sight draft upon a statement by Landlord that. pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, Landlord is entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit, (v) include an “evergreen” provision which provides that the Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically on an annual basis unless the issuer delivers sixty (60) days prior written notice of cancellation to Landlord, (vi) have an initial expiration date no earlier than one year from the date of issue and an outside expiration date no earlier than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the initial Lease Term, (vii) be transferable, at no expense to Landlord, to any successor to Landlord as owner of the Building, and (viii) otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord (items [i] through [viii] collectively the “LC Requirements”). In the event the Letter of Credit is ever not renewed when required under this Section 17.28, Landlord shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof as a cash Security Deposit.
In the event that, at any time, the Issuer Qualifications are not met by the then-current Issuer of a Letter of Credit held by Landlord, or if the financial condition of the Issuer changes in any other materially adverse way (as determined by Landlord), then Tenant shall, within five (5) days written following notice from Landlord, deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit that satisfies the LC Requirements and is issued by an Issuer that satisfies the Issuer Qualifications. In the event that Tenant fails to timely deliver such substitute Letter of Credit, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default for which there shall be no notice and cure period, and, in addition to the rights set forth in Article 15 hereof, Landlord shall have the right under such circumstances to immediately, and without further notice to Tenant, draw upon the then-extant Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof.
17.28 | GOVERNING LAW. This Lease shall be governed exclusively by the provisions hereof and by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. |
40
However, in case of any conflict between the provisions of this Lease and any such Rules and Regulations, the provisions of this Lease shall control. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or the terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease as against any other tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its servants, employees, agents, contractors, visitors, invitees or licensees. All Rules and Regulations shall be of general applicability to, and non-discriminatorily applied against, all comparable tenants in the Building.
17.32 | ARBITRATION. In any case where this Lease references arbitration of a dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of applicable law, as from time to time amended. Arbitration proceedings, including the selection of an arbitrator, shall be conducted pursuant to the rules, regulations and procedures from time to time in effect as promulgated by the American Arbitration Association. Prior written notice of application by either party for arbitration shall be given to the other at least ten (10) days before submission of the application to the said Association’s office in Boston, Massachusetts. The arbitrator shall hear the parties and their evidence. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive, and judgment upon the award or decision of the arbitrator may be entered in the appropriate court of law; and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of such court and further agree that any process or notice of motion or other application to the Court or a Judge thereof may be served outside Massachusetts by registered mail or by personal service, provided a reasonable time for appearance is allowed. The costs and expenses of each arbitration hereunder and their apportionment between the parties shall be determined by the arbitrator in his award or decision. No dispute under this Lease shall be submitted to arbitration until twenty (20) days after the party asserting the existence of the dispute gives notice thereof to the other party, together with a reasonably detailed description of the dispute. |

EXHIBIT C
This Schedule is attached to and made a part of that certain Lease Agreement dated as of the 8th day of March, 2013 (the “Lease”), by and between CPT One Exeter Plaza, LLC (“Landlord”) and EPIRUS Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Tenant”).
Landlord agrees to perform the work (“Landlord’s Work”) as set forth on Schedule C-1 and Schedule C-2 attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to substantially complete the Landlord’s Work by March 1, 2013 but Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for failure to substantially complete the Landlord’s Work by such date. No diminution or abatement of Fixed Rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant as a result therefrom, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of such delay in substantial completion. The parties agree that the scope of Landlord’s Work will be as set forth on Schedule C-1 and C-2 (subject to Plan approval, if required, as set forth in this Exhibit C; provided, however, that such Plan approval shall not alter the scope of Landlord’s Work unless Landlord expressly so agrees in writing).
(A) The Lease Commencement Date shall be the later of: (i) March 8, 2013 or (ii) the Substantial Completion Date, as defined in Section 2(C) of this Schedule, the Lease Commencement Date shall be the date on which Tenant takes such possession. As soon as may be convenient after the Lease Commencement Date has been determined, Landlord and Tenant agree to join with each other in the execution of a written Lease Commencement Date Agreement in the form of Schedule E to this Lease.
(B) The term “Substantially Complete” (and any permutation thereof) as it pertains to Landlord’s Work shall mean that (i) Landlord’s architect certifies that the Landlord’s Work is complete, other than Punch List Items, as defined below, and (ii) Landlord has obtained a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises (except that if Tenant engages its own contractors to perform any work in the Premises, Landlord shall not be obligated to obtain such certificate of occupancy if Landlord’s inability to obtain it is based upon any aspect of the work performed by Tenant’s contractors). The “Actual Substantial Completion Date” of Landlord’s Work shall be defined as the date on which Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete.
(C) The “Substantial Completion Date” shall be defined as the Actual Substantial Completion Date, except that if Landlord is delayed in the performance of Landlord’s Work by reason of any Tenant Delay, as defined below, then the Substantial Completion Date shall be deemed to be the date that the Actual Substantial Completion Date would have occurred but for such Tenant Delay. Tenant agrees that no Tenant Delay shall delay commencement of the Term or Tenant’s obligation to pay rent, regardless of the reason for such Tenant Delay or whether or not it is within the control of Tenant.
45
(A) “Punch List Items” shall be defined as incomplete items of work and adjustment of equipment and fixtures in the Premises, provided that the incompleteness of such items, and Landlord’s completion thereof, does not cause material interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use. The Punch List Items shall be set forth in a so-called punch list prepared and signed by Tenant and Landlord. The Landlord shall complete, as soon as conditions practically permit, all Punch List Items, and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in providing access to the Premises as may be required to complete such work in a normal manner.
(B) “Tenant Delay” shall be defined as any delay in the performance of Landlord’s Work to the extent that such delay is:
(i) | due to special work not originally included in Landlord’s Work; or |
(ii) | due to changes, alterations or additions required or made by Tenant in the layout or finish of the Premises or any part thereof from that set forth in the Plans; or |
(iii) | caused by delay and/or default on the part of Tenant or its contractors including, without limitation, the utility companies and other entities furnishing communications, data processing or other service or equipment; or |
(iv) | caused by Tenant or any representative of Tenant in taking any action, or in failing to take any action which Tenant is required to take (including, without limitation, failing to timely respond within the time periods set forth in this Schedule or unreasonably withholding any approval required of Tenant under this Schedule). Tenant shall be required to take such action within five (5) business days after Tenant receives a written request to take such action. |
Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other in developing the final plans for the Landlord’s Work. Such plans shall be called the “Plans.” Landlord shall develop the Plans to be consistent with the terms of Schedule C-1 and the plan attached hereto as Schedule C-2. The Plans shall contain at least the information required by, and shall conform to the requirements of, applicable law, and shall contain all information required for the issuance of a building permit for the work shown thereon. Tenant’s approval of the Plans shall not be required unless the work shown thereon incorporates new items or is otherwise inconsistent with Schedule C-1 and Schedule C-2. If Tenant’s approval is required, Tenant shall respond within five (5) business days of Landlord’s submission of the Plans, and Tenant’s approval of the Plans shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (and if Tenant disapproves, Tenant shall provide specific reasons for such disapproval). In the event Tenant fails to timely respond to such submission, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such submission.
46
PERFORMANCE OF LANDLORD’S WORK; COST OF LANDLORD’S WORK
(A) General Contractor. Landlord shall engage a contractor (“General Contractor”) as the general contractor to perform the Landlord’s Work. Landlord’s Work shall be completed as described in Schedule C-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof. It is understood and agreed that Landlord’s Work does not include the selection or providing of furniture, access control, art work, voice data or moving costs.
(B) Cost. Landlord’s Work shall be performed at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.
WORK PERFORMED BY TENANT. The parties acknowledge that Tenant will be employing contractors in preparing the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy to install wiring, telecommunications and data systems, security systems, and furnishings in the Premises (“Tenant Work”). Any Tenant Work shall be done in accordance with the requirements of Article 6 of the Lease. In addition, :
a) | Landlord or General Contractor shall give Tenant reasonable advance notice of the date on which the Premises will be ready for such other contractors. |
b) | Tenant shall take all necessary measures to the end that Tenant’s contractors shall cooperate with Landlord’s contractors in all ways so as to avoid any delay to the work being performed by Landlord’s contractors or any other conflict with the performance of the work of Landlord’s contractors. All of Tenant’s Work shall be coordinated with any work being performed by, or for, Landlord, and in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations. |

(A) Quality of Work. All construction work required or permitted by this Lease shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable Requirements and all insurance requirements.
(B) Correction of Defects. Landlord warrants to Tenant that Landlord’s Work will be performed free from defects in workmanship and materials (“Landlord’s Warranty”). Landlord’s Warranty shall be subject to the exclusions which are set forth in Section 3.5.1 of the form A201 General Conditions published by the American Institute of Architects (1997 edition). Landlord’s obligations under this Section 7(B) shall only apply during the Warranty Period, as hereinafter defined. The “Warranty Period” shall be nine (9) months after the Lease Commencement Date; however, Tenant agrees to notify Landlord promptly after Tenant’s discovery of any alleged defect. Landlord agrees to correct or repair, at Landlord’s expense, items which are in breach of Landlord’s Warranty or which otherwise are incomplete or do not conform to the work contemplated under Schedule C-1, provided that Landlord receives written notice of the need for such correction or repair prior to the end of the Warranty Period. Landlord shall
47
be deemed to have satisfied all of its obligations under this Schedule (including, without limitation, its obligations under this Section 7(B)) to the extent that Landlord has not received written notice of the need for corrective work or repairs prior to the end of the Warranty Period. The provisions of this Section 7(B) shall not relieve Landlord of any obligation which Landlord has to make repairs or to perform maintenance pursuant to Article 8 of the Lease.
LANDLORD’S SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES/GREEN BUILDING STANDARD. Any work undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant in the Building, including but not limited to construction and maintenance methods and procedures, material purchases, and disposal of waste shall conform to Landlord’s sustainability practices and, to the extent the Building is then-certified under one or more Green Building Standard, such Green Building Standard.

1. The rights of tenants in the entrances, corridors, stairways and elevators in the Building are limited to ingress and egress from the tenant’s premises for the tenants and their employees, licensees and invitees. No tenant shall encumber or obstruct, or permit the encumbrance or obstruction of, or use, or permit the use of, such entrances, corridors, stairways or elevators for any purpose other than such ingress and egress. No tenant shall invite to the tenant’s premises, or permit the visit of, persons in such numbers or under such conditions as to interfere with the use and enjoyment of any of the entrances, corridors, stairways, elevators or other facilities in the Building by other tenants. Fire exits and stairways are for such uses that would not violate any laws or regulations relating thereto. Landlord reserves the right to control and operate the public portions of the Building and the public facilities, as well as all facilities furnished for the common use of the tenants, in such manner as it deems best for the benefit of the tenants generally. The cost of repairing any damage to the public portions of the Building or the public facilities or to any facilities used in common with other tenants, caused by the negligence of a tenant or the employees, licensees or invitees of such tenant, shall unless covered by Landlord’s normal fire and extended coverage insurance be paid by such tenant.
2. Landlord may refuse admission to the Building before or after regular business hours to any person not known to the watchman or not having an identification card issued by or to the tenant or not properly identified, and may require all persons admitted to or leaving the Building except persons regularly admitted to or leaving the Building before or after regular business hours to register. Any person whose presence in the Building at any time might, in the judgment of Landlord, be prejudicial to the safety, character, reputation or interests of the Building or of its tenants may be denied access to the Building or may be ejected therefrom. In case of invasion, riot, public excitement or other commotion Landlord may prevent all access to the Building during the continuance of the same, by closing the doors or otherwise, for the safety of the tenants and protection of property in the Building. Landlord may require any person leaving the Building with any package or other object to exhibit a pass from the tenant from whose premises the package or object is being removed, but the establishment and enforcement of such requirement shall not impose any responsibility on Landlord for the protection of any tenant against the removal of property from the premises of such tenant. Each tenant is responsible for the security of its Premises. The use of built-in lockable casework is suggested. Landlord shall, in no way, be liable to any tenant for damages or loss arising from the admission, exclusion or ejection of any person to or from the tenant’s premises or the Building under the provisions of this rule. Canvassing, soliciting or peddling in the Building is prohibited and every tenant shall cooperate to prevent the same.
3. No tenant shall order or take deliveries of towels or other similar articles or obtain or accept the use of barbering, floor polishing, lighting maintenance, cleaning or other similar services, from any persons not approved by Landlord in writing to furnish such articles or services, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

61
4. No lettering, sign, advertisement, notice or object shall be displayed in or on the windows or doors, or on the outside of any tenant’s premises, or at any point inside any tenant’s premises where the same might be visible outside of such premises, except that the name and logo of the tenant may be displayed on the entrance doors of, or in the elevator lobbies within, the tenant’s premises subject to the approval of Landlord as to the size, color and style of such display. The inscription of the name of the tenant on the doors of or in the elevator lobbies within the tenant’s premises shall be done at the Landlord’s expense. The original listing of the name of the tenant and its officers and executive personnel on the directory board in the Building shall be done by Landlord at its expense. No tenant shall be allowed in excess of its pro rata share of the space on such directory board for such listings.

Linoleum, tile or other floor covering shall be laid in a tenant’s premises only in a manner approved by Landlord.
6. Landlord shall have the right to prescribe the weight and position of safes and other objects of excessive weight and no safe or other object weighing more than the lawful load for the area upon which it would stand shall be brought into or kept upon a tenant’s premises. If, in the judgment of Landlord, it is necessary to distribute the concentrated weight of any safe or other heavy object, the work involved in such distribution shall be done at the tenant’s expense and in such manner as Landlord shall determine. The moving of safes and other heavy objects shall not take place during regular business hours and only with previous notice to Landlord and the persons employed to move the same in and out of the Building, shall be subject to the approval of Landlord. No machines of any kind, except typewriters, photocopy machines, office machines, terminals, vending machines and other similar equipment may be installed or operated in the premises without Landlord’s prior written consent and in no event shall any such machines be placed or operated so as to disturb other tenants. Freight, furniture, business equipment, merchandise and bulky matter of any description shall be delivered to and removed from the tenant’s premises only in the freight elevators and through the service entrances and corridors and only during hours and in a manner approved by Landlord. Any tenant must make special arrangements with Landlord for moving large quantities of furniture and equipment into or out of the Building.
7.

No cooking shall be done in the tenant’s premises, except as expressly approved by Landlord. Nothing shall be done or permitted in any tenant’s premises, and nothing shall be brought into or kept in any tenant’s premises which might impair or interfere with any of the building services or the proper and economical heating, cleaning or other servicing of the Building or the tenant’s premises, or the use or enjoyment by any other tenant of any other premises. No tenant shall install any ventilating, air-conditioning, electrical or other equipment of any kind, which, in the judgment of Landlord, might cause any impairment or interference. No dangerous, inflammable, combustible or explosive object or material shall be brought into the Building by any tenant or with the permission of any tenant.

The cost of repairing any damage done to such closets and fixtures resulting from any misuse thereof by a tenant or the employees, licensees or invitees of such tenant shall be paid by such tenant.
9. Landlord shall have the right to prohibit any advertising by any tenant, which in its judgment tends to impair the reputation of the Building or its desirability as a first-class office building.
10. No additional locks or bolts of any kind shall be placed upon any of the doors or windows in any tenant’s premises and no lock on any door therein shall be changed or altered in any respect.

Landlord reserves the right to rescind, alter or waive any building rule at any time when, in its judgment it deems it necessary, desirable or proper for its best interest and for the best interests of the tenants, and no alteration or waiver of any building rule in favor of one tenant shall operate as an alteration or waiver in favor of any other tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible to any tenant for the non-observance or violation by any other tenant of any of the Building Rules at any time, Landlord shall exercise its best efforts to see that all tenants comply with the Building Rules.
15. Tenants shall have the right to install canteen facilities and vending machines in their premises.
