WHEREAS, Sublessee desires to sublease a portion of the Premises from Sublessor and Sublessor is willing to sublease the same, all on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth;
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties covenant and agree as follows:
1. Sublease of Subleased Premises. For the rent and upon the terms and conditions herein, Sublessor hereby subleases to Sublessee, and Sublessee hereby subleases from Sublessor approximately 10,000 square feet of rentable office space located on the first floor (the "Office Space") and approximately 11,550 square feet of rentable laboratory space located on the third floor (the "Lab Space") as shown on Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, the "Subleased Premises"). During the term hereof, Sublessee shall have access to the Subleased Premises and the parking lot adjacent to the Building twenty-four (24) hours a day, 7 days a week, excluding emergency events, which may cause the Building to limit access to tenants, subject to the terms of this Sublease. Sublessee shall have after hour access to the Building by a card key system. Upon the date on which this Sublease has been fully executed by Sublessor and Sublessee and the Prime Lessor has delivered the "Consent" as hereinafter defined, Sublessee shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises for the purposes of commencing its "Improvement Work" as hereinafter defined, inspecting the Subleased Premises, taking measurements and preparing for the move into the Subleased Premises, including installing system furniture and lab equipment. Sublessor shall have the right to have a representative present any time such early entry right is exercised. If Sublessee enters the Subleased Premises prior to the Commencement Date (as hereunder defined), Sublessee shall be responsible for complying with all of the terms of this Sublease and the Prime Lease to the extent incorporated herein by reference, other than the payment of Rent (as hereunder defined).
2. Term. The Term of this Sublease shall commence, at Sublessee's option, on May 1, 2005, provided that Prime Lessor has delivered the "Consent" as hereinafter defined, or upon the later of (i) June 1, 2005; (ii) the date Sublessor delivers the Subleased Premises with Sublessor's Work (as hereinafter defined) completed except for minor incomplete items or deficiencies, provided that any such incomplete items or deficiencies shall not hinder Sublessee's work in or about the Subleased Premises, or prevent Sublessee from operating its business, and provided further that Sublessor shall complete such incomplete items or deficiencies within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date; (iii) the date on which this Sublease has been fully executed by Sublessor and Sublessee and the Prime Lessor has delivered the "Consent" as hereinafter defined; (iv) delivery of a statement of
1
decommissioning from Sublessor to Sublessee from Sublessor's consultant confirming that the required close-out of radiation survey has been completed and the Subleased Premises qualify for release under applicable decommissioning regulations; and (v) proof of a valid Sewer Use Discharge Permit in accordance with Paragraph 5(b) of this Sublease (the "Commencement Date"), and shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on the day that is thirty-eight (38) months from the Commencement Date (the "Expiration Date") or such earlier date upon which said term may expire, be canceled or be terminated pursuant to any of the terms or provisions of the Prime Lease, this Sublease or applicable law. If the Prime Lessor has not delivered the "Consent" as hereinafter defined, by May 1, 2005, Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by sending written notice to Sublessor. Sublessee shall have one option to renew this Sublease for one (1) year (the "Extension Term") exercisable upon Sublessee providing Sublessor with written notice at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the initial term of this Sublease, time being of the essence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublessor desires to reoccupy the Subleased Premises for Sublessor's own occupancy Sublessor may, at its election, by notice to Sublessee given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Sublessee's notice of exercise of said renewal option, void such exercise and require that this Sublease nevertheless expire on the original Expiration Date as set forth above. In the event of such election by and notice from Sublessor, this Sublease shall expire on the Expiration Date with the same effect as if Sublessee had no renewal option, except that Sublessor shall in such event be prohibited from subleasing any portion of the Subleased Premises to any unrelated third party during the Extension Term. Sublessee shall begin paying Base Rent to Sublessor on August 15, 2005 (the "Rent Commencement Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessee shall begin paying additional rent to Sublessor upon the Commencement Date. Year 1 of the Sublease Term shall consist of twelve calendar months plus any partial month if the Commencement Date is other than the first day of a month. Year 2 of the Sublease Term shall commence upon the first anniversary of the Commencement Date at which time the Base Rent for the First Floor Office Space shall increase to $19.00 per rentable square foot and the Base Rent for the Third Floor Lab Space shall increase to $23.50 per rentable square foot. Year 3 of the Sublease Term shall commence upon the second anniversary of the Commencement Date at which time Base Rent for the First Floor Office Space shall increase to $20.00 per rentable square foot and the Base Rent for the Third Floor Lab Space shall increase to $24.50 per rentable square foot.
3. Appurtenant Rights. Sublessee shall have, as appurtenant to the Subleased Premises, rights to use in common with Sublessor and others entitled thereto Sublessor's rights in driveways, walkways, hallways, stairways and passenger elevators, freight elevators and loading docks convenient for access to the Subleased Premises and the lavatories nearest thereto as shown on Exhibit B attached hereto. In addition, Sublessor grants Sublessee the right to use, at no additional cost to Sublessee, in common with others, parking spaces on a non-exclusive basis in the automobile parking area throughout the term of this Sublease. The words "automobile parking area" shall have the same meaning as set forth under Article XI of the Prime Lease.

It is intended by Sublessor and Sublessee that the Base Rent for the Lab Space be net of all costs and expenses related to the Lab Space. On account of the Lab Space only, Sublessee shall during the Term pay to Sublessor, as additional rent hereunder, (i) the Sublessee's Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of Common Expenses (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of Sublease Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined). The costs and expenses payable by Sublessee with respect to the Lab Space are collectively referred to herein as the "Sublessee's Share." For purposes of this Sublease, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
- (i)
- "Sublessee's Percentage" shall mean the rentable square footage of the Lab Space divided by the rentable square footage
of the Premises, expressed as a percentage. As of the Commencement Date, based upon the Lab Space as of such date containing 11,550 square feet and the Premises as of such date containing 85,430
rentable square feet, the Sublessee's Percentage shall be thirteen point fifty-two percent (13.52%).
- (ii)
- "Common Expenses" shall mean Landlord's Operating Expenses and Landlord's Taxes, both as defined in the Prime Lease.
- (iii)
- "Sublease Operating Costs" shall mean all charges, costs, expenses and obligations of every kind and nature whatsoever that Sublessor may from time to time incur pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease with respect to the Lab Space and Sublessee's Percentage of the costs detailed in Exhibit D with regard specifically to the Lab Space, or the operation or maintenance thereof, and not the general operation or maintenance of the Premises or the Subleased Premises.
If at any time Sublessor, in its reasonable judgment, determines that either Sublessor, Sublessee or any other subtenant in the Premises is consuming quantities of electricity in excess of 110% (calculated on a per square foot basis) of the quantities being consumed by the other parties in those portions of the Premises occupied by such other party, then the party consuming such excessive quantities of electricity shall be responsible for the cost of any such excess consumption.
Sublessor may xxxx Sublessee for Sublessee's Share based on reasonably estimated projected costs (the "Estimated Costs"), in which case Sublessee shall pay Sublessee's Share, as additional rent hereunder, based on such estimated amounts, such estimates to be based on the estimates Sublessee receives from Landlord. At least annually, and not later than fifteen (15) days after Sublessor's receipt of Prime Lessor's annual accounting as more particularly described under Section 2.6.2 of the Prime Lease, Sublessor shall provide to Sublessee copies of all records and documents relating to the annual accounting including, but not limited to, all materials and reconciliations supplied by the Prime Lessor together with any independent allocation of any electricity charges by Sublessor pursuant to the preceding grammatical paragraph. If Sublessee disputes any of the charges that Prime Lessor charges to Sublessor under the Prime Lease or that Sublessor charges Sublessee under this Sublease, Sublessee shall provide Sublessor with written notice of such dispute within twenty (20) days of receiving the records and documents relating to the annual accounting. Upon receipt of Sublessee's notice of a dispute with respect to the annual accounting Sublessor may elect, at its sole option, to raise such
3
dispute with Prime Lessor or to allow Sublessee to raise such dispute directly with Prime Lessor; provided, however, if Prime Lessor will not allow Sublessee to contest the disputed charges, Sublessor will contest the disputed charges on behalf of Sublessee. Sublessor shall review the Estimated Costs for the preceding year and compare such Estimated Costs against actual costs and expenses for such preceding year. To the extent Sublessee's Share of the Estimated Costs exceeds Sublessee's Share of the actual costs and expenses, Sublessor shall credit (or promptly refund, as appropriate) such excess amount against amounts due from Sublessee hereunder. To the extent Sublessee's Share of actual costs and expenses exceeds Sublessee's Share of Estimated Costs, Sublessee shall pay Sublessor the amount of such deficiency upon demand as additional rent hereunder.
Base Rent and additional rent shall sometimes be referred to as "Rent" herein. All Rent shall be due and payable in monthly installments in advance on the first day of each calendar month, without demand, deduction, counterclaim or setoff, except as expressly provided for herein. Rent for any partial month shall be prorated and paid on the first day of such month.
5. Permitted Uses. Sublessee shall use the Subleased Premises only for general office uses including laboratory use for research and development and the uses permitted under the Prime Lease. Sublessee shall not do, suffer or permit anything to be done in or upon the Subleased Premises or the Premises except in accordance with and as permitted by the Prime Lease and applicable law. Sublessee shall comply with the certificate of occupancy relating to the Subleased Premises and with all laws, statutes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and municipal governments and the appropriate agencies, officers, departments, boards and commissions thereof, and the board of fire underwriters and/or the fire insurance rating organization or similar organization performing the same or similar functions, whether now or hereafter in force, applicable to the Subleased Premises or to Sublessee's particular manner of use. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Sublessee shall apply in its own name for, and obtain at its sole expense, any and all licenses, permits and other approvals that may be required from governmental authorities in connection with Sublessee's use of the Subleased Premises.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Sublessor has agreed to make available to Sublessee, in connection with Sublessee's use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises, certain services, and to authorize Sublessee to use certain permits and licenses, held by Sublessor, including those services and licenses listed on Exhibit D attached hereto, jointly with Sublessor and others who may be authorized by Sublessor from time to time, as well as the following:
- (a)
- Sublessor
shall provide customary janitorial and custodial services to the Subleased Premises in accordance with the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit F.
- (b)
- Sublessor
grants Sublessee a license to the use, occupancy and operation of the Subleased Premises under the auspices of all existing municipal, state and federal licenses and permits
held by Sublessor with respect to the use and operation of laboratory and research facilities within the Subleased Premises including the Sewer Use Discharge Permit. Sublessee shall apply in its own
name for, and obtain at its sole expense its own Flammable Storage Permit for the materials and up to the maximum quantities set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto. Sublessor will maintain
the Sewer Use Discharge Permit unless the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority requires
otherwise; in such event, Sublessor shall provide written notice thereof to Sublessee and Sublessee shall apply in its own name for, and obtain at its sole expense its own Sewer Use Discharge Permit.
- (c)
- Sublessor grants Sublessee the right to connect to Sublessor's emergency generator through the outlets existing in the Subleased Premises as of the date hereof.
6. Condition of Subleased Premises. Sublessee represents that it has made or caused to be made a thorough examination and inspection of the Subleased Premises and is familiar with the condition of
4
every part thereof. Sublessee agrees that, except as expressly provided herein, (i) it enters into this Sublease without relying upon any representations, warranties or promises by Sublessor, its agents, representatives, employees, servants or any other person in respect of the Building or the Subleased Premises, (ii) no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Sublessee by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth herein, (iii) Sublessor shall have no obligation to do any work in order to make the Subleased Premises suitable and ready for occupancy and use by Sublessee other than ensuring that all building systems serving the Subleased Premises are in good working order, decommissioning the Lab Space in accordance with local and state regulations, and performing any of the demising work if required by code to prepare the Subleased Premises for Sublessee's use and occupancy including "patch" and paint work, limited to repair and painting of damaged wall areas, for the Office Space and replacing ceiling tiles where needed in the Lab Space (collectively "Sublessor's Work") which Sublessor shall perform at its expense, and (iv) the Subleased Premises are in satisfactory condition. Sublessor shall deliver the Subleased Premises to Sublessee in broom clean condition and with all building systems serving the Subleased Premises in good working order. If Sublessor has not completed Sublessor's Work by July 1, 2005, Sublessee shall have the right to terminate this Sublease by sending written notice to Sublessor.
The taking of possession by Sublessee of the Subleased Premises or any portion thereof delivered by Sublessor to Sublessee shall be conclusive evidence as against Sublessee, that, at the time such possession was so taken, the Subleased Premises or such portion thereof were in good and satisfactory condition.
Following the completion of the Improvement Work, Sublessee shall make no alterations, installations, removals, additions or improvements in or to the Subleased Premises or any other portion of the Building except with the written consent of Sublessor (excluding cosmetic alterations in the Subleased Premises that do not affect the Building's structure or base building systems and cost no more than $50,000.00 in the aggregate for a single project), which consent Sublessor shall grant or deny within fifteen (15) business days of such request and the written consent of Prime Lessor in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Prime Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublessor hereby approves Sublessee's improvement work (the "Improvement Work") as set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto; provided, however, Sublessee acknowledges that it must still obtain Prime Lessor's consent to such Improvement Work in accordance with Section 5.9 of the Prime Lease. Sublessee's contractor(s) shall perform the Improvement Work in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.9 of the Prime Lease.
Any work shall be done in accordance with the plans and specifications submitted to and approved by Sublessor and Prime Lessor, except that Sublessor will not need to approve plans and specifications for minor non-structural modifications that do not affect the Building's structure or base building systems, provided that Sublessee must still obtain Prime Lessor's approval of the plans and specifications. No structural alterations shall be done. All such minor, non-structural modifications made by Sublessee shall be done at Sublessee's sole cost and expense in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials of first-class quality consistent with the style and finish of the Subleased Premises. Sublessee shall secure all necessary permits in advance of commencement of any work and shall keep the Subleased Premises free of any mechanics or other liens and shall hold Sublessor and Prime Lessor harmless from any loss, cost or damage arising out of any work done by Sublessee or its agents or contractors. Sublessee shall have the right to use its own contractor so long as said Contractor complies with the requirements of the Prime Lease. All contractors working for Sublessee in the Subleased Premises shall be properly insured and shall provide certificates of insurance naming Sublessor and Prime Lessor as additional insureds prior to commencement of any work.
Sublessee shall keep and maintain the Subleased Premises and the fixtures and equipment therein clean and in good order, repair and condition, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty or condemnation. Sublessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, decommission the Lab Space upon the Expiration Date or such earlier date upon which this Sublease may expire, be canceled
5
or be terminated pursuant to any of the terms or provisions of the Prime Lease, this Sublease or applicable law.
7. Insurance. Sublessee shall maintain throughout the term of this Sublease such insurance in respect of the Subleased Premises and the conduct and operation of business therein, with Sublessor and Prime Lessor listed as additional insureds as is required of "Tenant" pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease (including, without limitation, Section 5.5 as hereinafter incorporated by reference) with no penalty to Sublessor or Prime Lessor resulting from deductibles or self-insured retentions effected in Sublessee's insurance coverage, and with such other endorsements and provisions as Sublessor or Prime Lessor may reasonably request. If Sublessee fails to procure or maintain such insurance and to pay all premiums and charges therefor within ten (10) days after notice from Sublessor, Sublessor may (but shall not be obligated to) do so, whereupon Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor upon demand. All such insurance policies shall, to the extent obtainable, contain endorsements providing that (i) such policies may not be canceled except upon thirty (30) days' prior notice to Sublessor and Prime Lessor, (ii) no act or omission of Sublessee shall affect or limit the obligations of the insurer with respect to any other named or additional insured and (iii) Sublessee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all premiums under such policies and Sublessor, notwithstanding that it is or may be a named insured, shall have no obligation for the payment thereof. Such insurance shall otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Sublessor in both form and substance. On or before the Commencement Date, Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor and Prime Lessor a certificate evidencing the foregoing coverages. Any endorsements to such certificates shall also be delivered to Sublessor and Prime Lessor upon issuance thereof. Sublessee shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor and Prime Lessor such renewal certificates at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of any existing policy. In the event Sublessee fails so to deliver any such renewal certificate at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of any existing policy, Sublessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain the same if Sublessee does not provide evidence of the same within ten (10) days of request by Sublessor, where upon Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor upon demand.
Sublessee shall include in all such insurance policies any clauses or endorsements in favor of Prime Lessor including, but not limited to, waivers of the right of subrogation, which Sublessor is required to provide pursuant to the provisions of the Prime Lease. Sublessor and Sublessee release and waive all claims against each other for loss or damage to Sublessor's and Sublessee's personal property and their respective alterations, if any, in the Subleased Premises, except to the extent arising from any negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor or Sublessee or any of their respective employees, agents contractors or invitees.
8. Indemnification. Sublessee agrees to protect, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Sublessor), indemnify and hold Sublessor and Prime Lessor and their respective officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (except to the extent arising from any negligence or willful misconduct of Prime Lessor or Sublessor or their contractors, agents or employees), arising: (i) from the conduct or management of or from any work or thing whatsoever done in the Subleased Premises during the term hereof; (ii) from any condition arising, and any injury to or death of persons, damage to property or other event occurring or resulting from an occurrence in the Subleased Premises during the term hereof; and (iii) from any breach or default on the part of Sublessee in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Sublessee to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Sublease or from any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of Sublessee or any of its agents, employees, licensees or assignees or any person claiming through or under Sublessee. Sublessee further agrees to indemnify Sublessor and Prime Lessor and their respective officers, agents and employees from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses), incurred in connection
6
with any such indemnified claim or any action or proceeding brought in connection therewith. The provisions of this Paragraph are intended to supplement any other indemnification provisions contained in this Sublease and in the Prime Lease to the extent incorporated by reference herein. Any non-liability, indemnity or hold harmless provisions in the Prime Lease for the benefit of Prime Lessor that are incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to inure to the benefit of Sublessor and Prime Lessor.
Sublessor agrees to protect, defend (with counsel reasonably approved by Sublessee), indemnify and hold Sublessee and its officers, agents and employees harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, losses and liabilities (except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessee or its contractors, agents or employees) arising: (i) from any injury to or death of persons or damage to property occurring or resulting from an occurrence in the Premises or the Building caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublessor, its contractors, agents, employees, licensees or assignees or any person claiming through or under Sublessor during the term hereof and (ii) from any breach or default on the part of Sublessor in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Sublessor to be performed pursuant to the terms of this Sublease.
9. No Assignment or Subletting. Sublessee shall not assign, sell, mortgage, pledge or in any manner transfer this Sublease or any interest herein, or the term or estate granted hereby or the rentals hereunder, or sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, or grant any concession or license or otherwise permit occupancy of all or any part of the Subleased Premises by any person, without the prior written consent of Prime Lessor and Sublessor, which consent of Sublessor shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Sublessor does not either grant or withhold its consent to a proposed assignment, subletting, concession or license within thirty (30) days of receipt of Sublessee's request for such consent, Sublessor's consent shall be deemed approved; provided, however, Sublessee must still obtain Prime Lessor's consent to such proposed assignment, subletting, concession or license. Neither the consent of Sublessor or Prime Lessor to an assignment, subletting, concession, or license, nor the references in this Sublease to assignees, subtenants, concessionaires or licensees, shall in any way be construed to relieve Sublessee of the requirement of obtaining the consent of Sublessor and Prime Lessor to any further assignment or subletting or to the making of any assignment, subletting, concession or license for all or any part of the Subleased Premises. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, including, without limitation, any assignment or subletting permitted or consented to, the original Sublessee named herein and any other person(s) who at any time was or were Sublessee shall remain fully liable under this Sublease. If this Sublease is assigned, or if the Subleased Premises or any part thereof is underlet or occupied by any person or entity other than Sublessee, Sublessor may, after default by Sublessee, following notice and the expiration of any cure period, collect rent from the assignee, undertenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rents payable by Sublessee hereunder, but no assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions hereof, the acceptance of the assignee, undertenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Sublessee from the further performance by Sublessee of the covenants hereunder to be performed on the part of Sublessee. Any attempted assignment or subletting without the prior written consent of the Sublessor and the Prime Lessor shall be void. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 9, this Sublease may be assigned, or the Subleased Premises may be sublet, in whole or in part, after prior notice to Sublessor but without the consent of Sublessor and without any termination right of Sublessor being applicable thereto, (i) to any corporation or other entity into which or with which Sublessee may be merged or consolidated or to any corporation or entity to which all or substantially all of the Sublessee's assets or capital stock will be transferred, or (ii) to any corporation which is an affiliate, subsidiary, parent or successor of Sublessee, provided in all cases the surviving corporation or entity shall provide reasonable evidence that it has creditworthiness at least equal to the greater of (i) the net worth of Sublessee as of the date of such corporate transaction, and (ii) as of the date of this Sublease, and shall agree in writing with Sublessor to be
7
bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease (all of the foregoing being referred to as a "Permitted Transfer").
10. Primacy and Incorporation of Prime Lease.
(a) This Sublease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Prime Lease and to all matters to which the Prime Lease is or shall be subject and subordinate, and to all amendments, modifications, renewals and extensions of or to the Prime Lease and Sublessor purports hereby to convey, and Sublessee takes hereby, no greater rights then those accorded to or taken by Sublessor as "Tenant" under the terms of the Prime Lease. To the extent incorporated herein, Sublessee covenants and agrees that it will perform and observe all of the provisions contained in the Prime Lease to be performed and observed by the "Tenant" thereunder as applicable to the Premises, other than the payment of rent.

Except to the extent inconsistent with the context hereof, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Prime Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following provisions of the Prime Lease, Exhibits and Schedules annexed thereto are not incorporated herein by reference and shall not, except as to definitions set forth therein, have any applicability to this Sublease: Articles/Sections: 1.1 (except, however, the definitions of "Land", "Permitted Uses" and "Public Liability Insurance" are incorporated herein), 1.2, 2.1, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6.1, 2.6.2, 2.7, III, 4.1.4, the third grammatical paragraph of 4.2, 4.3.3, 4.4, 5.8, 6.1, 6.2, 8.2, 8.5, 8.6, 8.14, 8.17, 8.18, 8.20, 9.1, the last grammatical paragraph of 9.2 and X; and Exhibits A, B, E, F, H, I and J.
Where reference is made in the following Sections to "Landlord", the same shall be deemed to refer only to "Prime Lessor": Articles/Sections: 2.2, 2.3, 2.6.3, 2.6.4, IV, 5.3 and XI.
Where reference is made in the following Sections to "Landlord", the same shall be deemed to refer to "Prime Lessor" and "Sublessor": Articles/Sections: 5.7 and 5.10.
(b) Notwithstanding such incorporation by reference, Sublessee acknowledges that pursuant to the Prime Lease, certain services, repairs, restorations, equipment and access to and for the Premises and insurance coverage of the Building are in fact to be provided by Prime Lessor and Sublessor shall have no obligation during the Term of this Sublease to provide any such services, repairs, restorations, equipment, access or insurance coverage. Sublessee agrees to look solely to Prime Lessor for the furnishing of such services, repairs, restorations, equipment, access and insurance coverage. Sublessor shall cooperate reasonably with Sublessee in obtaining for Sublessee's benefit the performance by Prime Lessor of its obligations under the Prime Lease, but Sublessor shall in no event be liable to Sublessee, nor, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the casualty or condemnation provisions of the Prime Lease, shall the obligations of Sublessee hereunder be impaired or the performance thereof excused because of any failure or delay on Prime Lessor's part in furnishing such services, repairs, restorations, equipment, access or insurance coverage. If Prime Lessor fails to provide to the any of the services described in the Prime Lease, and such failure or any other cause or circumstance (other than Sublessee's act or default) materially adversely interferes with Sublessee's use and enjoyment of the Subleased Premises, then Sublessee shall be entitled to an adjustment of Rent to the extent that Sublessor receives an adjustment of rent under the Prime Lease.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Prime Lease, the time limits (the "Notice Periods") contained in the Prime Lease for the giving of notices, making of demands or performing of any act, condition or covenant on the part of the "Tenant" (including any grace periods set forth in Article VII of the Prime Lease), thereunder, or for the exercise by the "Tenant", thereunder of any right, remedy or option, are changed for the purposes of incorporation herein by reference by shortening the same in each instance by five (5) days (or by three (3) days if the notice period is ten (10) days or less), so that in each instance Sublessee shall have five (5) (or three (3), as applicable) fewer days to observe or perform hereunder than Sublessor has as the "Tenant" under the Prime Lease; provided, however, that if the Prime Lease allows a Notice Period of five (5) days or less, then Sublessee shall nevertheless be allowed the number of days equal to one-half of the number of days in each Notice Period to give any such notices, make any such demands, perform any such acts, conditions or covenants or exercise any such rights, remedies or options; provided, further, that if one-half of the number of days in the Notice Period is not a whole number, Sublessee shall be allowed the number of days equal to one-half of the number of days in the Notice Period rounded up to the next whole number.
9
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease (including, without limitation, the provisions of the Prime Lease incorporated herein by reference), Sublessor makes no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the Subleased Premises, this Sublease, the Prime Lease or any other matter, either express or implied, except as expressly set forth herein, and except that Sublessor represents and warrants, as of the date of execution hereof, (i) that it is the holder of the interest of the "Tenant" under the Prime Lease and said interest is not the subject of any lien, assignment, conflicting sublease, or other hypothecation or pledge; (ii) that the Prime Lease is in full force and effect, unmodified and constitutes the entire agreement between the Prime Lessor and Sublessor in respect of the Subleased Premises; (iii) that no notices of default have been served on Sublessor under the Prime Lease which have not been cured; (iv) that Sublessor shall send Sublessee copies of any notices of default that may be served on Sublessor under the Prime Lease within three (3) business days of receiving the same; (v) that Sublessor shall not voluntarily surrender the Subleased Premises or terminate the Prime Lease during the Term of the Sublease, except as provided in Paragraph 21 hereof; and (vi) to the best of Sublessor's knowledge, neither Sublessor nor Prime Lessor is in default under the Prime Lease.
11. Certain Services and Rights. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, the only services or rights to which the Sublessee is entitled hereunder, including without limitation rights relating to the repair, maintenance and restoration of the Subleased Premises, are those services and rights to which Sublessor is entitled under the Prime Lease. Sublessee acknowledges and agrees that Sublessor shall have no obligation to furnish any services whatsoever to Sublessee, any such obligation being that of the Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease, and that, as set forth in Paragraph 11(b) hereof, the sole obligation of Sublessor hereunder with respect to such services is to cooperate reasonably with Sublessee to obtain Prime Lessor's performance.
12. Compliance with Prime Lease. Sublessee shall neither do nor permit anything to be done which would cause the Prime Lease to be terminated or forfeited by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture reserved or vested in Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease, and Sublessee shall defend, indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) of any kind whatsoever by reason of any breach or default on the part of Sublessee by reason of which the Prime Lease may be terminated or forfeited. Sublessee covenants and agrees that Sublessee will not do anything which would constitute a default under the provisions of the Prime Lease or omit to do anything which Sublessee is obligated to do under the terms of this Sublease, that would constitute a default under the Prime Lease. Sublessor covenants and agrees that Sublessor will not do anything which would constitute a default (beyond any applicable grace or cure period under the Prime Lease) under the provisions of the Prime Lease or omit to do anything which Sublessor is obligated to do under the terms of this Sublease (beyond any applicable grace or cure period), which omission would constitute a default under the Prime Lease nor shall Sublessor voluntarily surrender or terminate the Prime Lease (except pursuant to the express provisions thereof or Paragraph 21 hereof), nor shall Sublessor agree to modify or amend the Prime Lease in any way that will reduce the rights or increase the obligations of Sublessee under this Sublease.
13. Default. In the event that Sublessee shall default in any of its obligations hereunder beyond applicable cure periods, including any default of the nature described in the Prime Lease beyond applicable cure periods, Sublessor shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease, including without limitation Article VII thereof as and to the extent incorporated herein by reference, as though Sublessor were the "Landlord" thereunder and Sublessee the "Tenant" thereunder. Sublessee further agrees to reimburse Sublessor for all actual and out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Sublessor in asserting or enforcing its rights hereunder against Sublessee or any other party.
10
14. Brokerage. Sublessee and Sublessor represent that they have not dealt with any broker in connection with this Sublease other than CB Xxxxxxx Xxxxx/Whittier Partners and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx & Partners (the "Brokers"). Each party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) which the indemnified party may be subject to or suffer by reason of any claim made by any person, firm or corporation other than the Brokers for any commission, expense or other compensation as a result of the execution and delivery of this Sublease, which is based on alleged conversations or negotiations by said person, firm or corporation with the indemnifying party. Sublessor shall pay the Brokers the brokerage commission, or other compensation due the Brokers in connection with this Sublease under separate agreements between and among Sublessor and Brokers and shall indemnify and hold Sublessee harmless from and against any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) which Sublessee may be subject to or suffer by reason of any claim made by the Brokers for any commission, fee or other compensation as a result of the execution and delivery of this Sublease, other than a claim based upon any agreement with Sublessee or Sublessee's agents, representatives or employees.
15. Security Deposit. On the date of execution of this Sublease by Sublessee, Sublessee at its sole cost and expense shall deliver to Sublessor, in a form and from a financial institution acceptable to Sublessor, an irrevocable, unconditional standby letter of credit in the amount of $36,667.00 (the "Letter of Credit"), as security for the full and faithful performance and observance by Sublessee of Sublessee's covenants and obligations under this Sublease (the "Security Deposit"). Sublessee shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses of obtaining, amending, renewing, replacing and/or transferring such Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date not earlier than thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Term of this Sublease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, including, but not limited to, the non-payment of Rent specified in Paragraph 4 hereof, Sublessor may, without giving notice to Sublessee, draw upon the Letter of Credit to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or any other sums as to which Sublessee is in default or for any sum which Sublessor may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Sublessee's default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease, including, but not limited to, any damages or deficiency in the reletting of all or any portion of the Premises, whether such damages or deficiency accrue before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Sublessor. If Sublessor draws upon the Letter of Credit to cure any default, Sublessee shall cause the Letter of Credit to be restored to its original amount and failure to do so within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from Sublessor shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder. Sublessee understands that its potential liability under this Sublease is not limited to the amount of the Security Deposit. Use of said Security Deposit by Sublessor shall not constitute a waiver, but is in addition to other remedies to Sublessor under this Sublease and under law. In the event of any transfer of Sublessor's interest in the Premises, Sublessor shall either return the Security Deposit to Sublessee or assign its interest in the Security Deposit to the transferee or assignee and Sublessor shall thereupon be released by Sublessee from all liability for the return or payment thereof; and Sublessee shall look solely to the new sublessor for the return or payment of the same; and the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the same to a new sublessor. Sublessee shall not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit and neither Sublessor nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
16. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals, demands, bills, statements and requests which are required or desired to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing and shall be governed by Section 8.3 of the Prime Lease as incorporated herein by reference, except that the mailing addresses for Sublessor and Sublessee shall initially be those first set forth above, and after the Commencement Date, to Sublessee at the Subleased Premises, with a copy to Xxxxxxx X.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000. Communications and payments to the Prime Lessor shall be given in accordance with, and subject to, Section 8.3 of the Prime Lease.
17. Interpretation. This Sublease shall be construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction against the party causing this Sublease to be drafted. Each covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision of this Sublease shall be deemed and construed as a separate and independent covenant of the party bound by, undertaking or making the same, which covenant, agreement, obligation or other provision shall be construed and interpreted in the context of the Sublease as a whole. All terms and words used in this Sublease, regardless of the number or gender in which they are used, shall be deemed to include any other number and any other gender as the context may require. The word "person" as used in this Sublease shall mean a natural person or persons, a partnership, a corporation or any other form of business or legal association or entity. Terms used herein and not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Prime Lease.
18. Fire or Casualty; Eminent Domain. In the event the Subleased Premises (or access thereto or systems serving the same) are subjected to a fire or other casualty or to a taking by eminent domain that interferes with the use and enjoyment by Sublessee of a material portion of the Subleased Premises, Sublessee shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment of Rent until tenantable occupancy is restored. At any time that such interference has not been remedied and tenantable occupancy restored after ninety (90) days from the date such interference was first experienced, Sublessee may, by notice to Sublessor, terminate this Sublease. In the event of any taking of the Subleased Premises, Sublessee assigns to Prime Lessor any right Sublessee may have to any damages or award, except that Sublessee shall be entitled to any award made on account of Sublessee's personal property or for Sublessee's moving expenses. Sublessee shall not make claims against Sublessor, Prime Lessor or the condemning authority for damages.
19. Signage. Subject to the consent of Prime Lessor as required under the Prime Lease, if any, Sublessee has the right, at its sole cost and expense, to install signage (i) consistent with Sublessor's signage and that of any other subtenants on the Building lobby directory and on the first and third floor entrances to the Subleased Premises and (ii) on a portion of Sublessor's space on the monument sign equal in size to its pro rata share of the Premises.
20. Right to Cure Sublessee's Defaults. (a) If Sublessee shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other obligation of Sublessee hereunder after any applicable notice and cure periods, then Sublessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, after notice to Sublessee, or without notice to Sublessee in the case of any emergency, and without waiving or releasing Sublessee from any obligations of Sublessee hereunder, to make such payment or perform such other obligation of Sublessee in such manner and to such extent as Sublessor shall deem necessary, and in exercising any such right, to pay any incidental costs and expenses, employ attorneys, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys' fees. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor upon demand as additional rent all sums so paid by Sublessor and all incidental costs and expenses of Sublessor in connection therewith, together with interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the rate four percent (4%) above the base rate or prime rate then reported in the Wall Street Journal, or the maximum rate permitted by law. Such interest shall be payable with respect to the period commencing on the date such expenditures are made by Sublessor and ending on the date such amounts are repaid by Sublessee. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the Expiration Date or the sooner termination of this Sublease.
(b) If (i) Sublessor fails to perform any of its obligations under the Prime Lease (other than by reason of Sublessee's acts or omissions or events of a nature beyond Sublessor's reasonable control) and the Prime Lessor has given a notice of default with respect thereto, which failure has not been cured within the applicable grace and cure periods under the Prime Lease; (ii) Sublessee is not in default under this Sublease beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period; (iii) such default by Sublessor does not arise out of the acts or omissions of Sublessee, its agents, contractors, employees,
12
sublessees or licensees; (iv) Sublessee notifies Sublessor after the expiration of the applicable grace and cure periods under the Prime Lease of such failure and of Sublessee's intention to cure same, which notice shall specify that such notice is being given in accordance with this Paragraph 20(b); and (v) such failure continues for not less than ten (10) business days from the date Sublessor receives such notice from Sublessee, then at Sublessee's election (if Sublessee elects to exercise its cure rights hereunder), Sublessee may take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to cure such failure and Sublessor shall reimburse Sublessee for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sublessee in performing same within thirty (30) days after receipt by Sublessor of a written statement from Sublessee as to the amount of such costs.
21. Termination of Prior Leases. If for any reason the term of the Prime Lease shall terminate prior to the Expiration Date, this Sublease shall thereupon automatically terminate as to the premises demised under the Prime Lease and Sublessor shall not be liable to Sublessee by reason thereof; provided, however, that Sublessor agrees that so long as Sublessee is not in default hereunder, Sublessor shall not voluntarily surrender or terminate the Prime Lease, except in accordance with rights expressly reserved to Sublessor under Article VI of the Prime Lease in the event of a taking or casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Prime Lease gives Sublessor any right to terminate the Prime Lease in the event of the partial or total damage, destruction, or condemnation of the Subleased Premises or the Building, the exercise of such right by Sublessor shall not constitute a default or breach hereunder.
Upon the expiration or termination of this Sublease, whether by forfeiture, lapse of time or otherwise, or upon the termination of Sublessee's right of possession, Sublessee shall (i) remove and restore any and all signage it may have installed and such alterations, installations, additions and improvements as Sublessor may have specified at the time Sublessor consented to the same and (ii) at once surrender and deliver the Subleased Premises in the condition and repair required by, and in accordance with the provisions of, this Sublease and the Prime Lease, including without limitation Section 5.10 of the Prime Lease as incorporated herein by reference. If Sublessee shall fail to remove any of Sublessee's property from the Subleased Premises, such property shall be deemed abandoned, and Sublessor is hereby authorized, without liability to Sublessee for loss or damage thereto, at the sole risk of Sublessee, to (a) remove and store such property at Sublessee's expense; (b) retain such property, in which case all right, title and interest therein shall accrue to Sublessor; or, (c) sell such property and retain the proceeds from such sale, or otherwise dispose or destroy such property.
22. Consents and Approvals. All references in this Sublease to the consent or approval of Prime Lessor and/or Sublessor shall be deemed to mean the written consent or approval of Prime Lessor and/or Sublessor, as the case may be, and no such consent or approval of Prime Lessor and/or Sublessor, as the case may be, shall be effective for any purpose unless such consent or approval is set forth in a written instrument executed by Prime Lessor and/or Sublessor, as the case may be. In all provisions requiring the approval or consent of Sublessor (whether pursuant to the express terms of this Sublease or the terms of the Prime Lease incorporated herein), Sublessee shall be required to obtain the approval or consent of Prime Lessor and then to obtain like approval or consent of Sublessor. If Sublessor is required or has determined to give its consent or approval to a matter as to which consent or approval has been requested by Sublessee, Sublessor shall cooperate reasonably with Sublessee in endeavoring to obtain any required Prime Lessor's consent or approval upon and subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Sublessee shall reimburse Sublessor for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sublessor in connection with seeking such consent or approval, except with respect to the "Consent" (as hereinafter defined) to this Sublease and any amendments to this Sublease (ii) Sublessor shall not be required to make any payments to Prime Lessor or to enter into any agreements or to modify the Prime Lease, or this Sublease in order to obtain any such consent or approval, (iii) if Sublessee agrees or is otherwise obligated to make any payments to Sublessor, or Prime Lessor in connection with such request for such consent or approval, Sublessee shall have made
13
arrangements satisfactory to Sublessor for such payments and (iv) Sublessee shall indemnify and hold Sublessor harmless from and against all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, losses, interest and expenses (including, without being limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) Sublessor shall suffer or incur in connection with seeking such consent or approval. Nothing contained in this Article shall be deemed to require Sublessor to give any consent or approval simply because Prime Lessor has given such consent or approval and, unless provision to the contrary is expressly made herein, Sublessor's consent may be withheld at its sole election. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, Sublessee shall not be required to reimburse Sublessor or Prime Lessor for any costs incurred by either of them in connection with seeking the Consent as hereinafter defined. Except as expressly provided for herein, all references in this Sublease to the consent or approval of Sublessor shall be deemed to mean consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
23. No Privity of Estate. Nothing contained in this Sublease shall be construed to create privity of estate or of contract between Sublessee and Prime Lessor and Prime Lessor is not obligated to recognize or to provide for the non-disturbance of the rights of Sublessee hereunder.
24. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Sublease, except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall extend to bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective personal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns.
25. Waiver of Jury Trial and Right to Counterclaim. The parties hereto hereby waive any rights which they may have to trial by jury in any summary action or other action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or in any way connected with this Sublease, the relationship of Sublessor and Sublessee, the Subleased Premises and the use and occupancy thereof, and any claim for injury or damages. Sublessee also hereby waives all right to assert or interpose a counterclaim in any summary proceeding or other action or proceeding to recover or obtain possession of the Subleased Premises. The parties hereto hereby waive any rights which they may have to trial by jury in any summary action or other action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or in any way connected with this Sublease, the relationship of Sublessor and Sublessee, the Subleased Premises and the use and occupancy thereof, and any claim for injury or damages. Sublessee also hereby waives all right to assert or interpose a counterclaim (other than mandatory or compulsory counterclaims) in any summary proceeding or other action or proceeding to recover or obtain possession of the Subleased Premises.
26. Estoppel Certificates. Sublessee shall, within ten (10) business days after each and every request by Sublessor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Sublessor or any party reasonably designated by Sublessor, without cost or expense to Sublessor, a statement in writing (a) certifying that this Sublease is unmodified and, to the best knowledge of Sublessee, is in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified, and stating such modifications); (b) specifying the dates to which Base Rent, additional and electricity charges have been paid; (c) stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of Sublessee, Sublessor is in default in the performance or observance of its obligations under this Sublease and, if so, specifying each such default; (d) stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of Sublessee, any event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by Sublessor under this Sublease, and, if so, specifying each such default; (e) stating whether or not, to the best knowledge of Sublessee, any event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by Prime Lessor under the Prime Lease with respect to the Subleased Premises, and, if so, specifying such event; (f) describing all notices of default submitted by Sublessee to Sublessor and Prime Lessor with respect to this Sublease, or the Prime Lease from and after the date hereof; and (g) containing such other information with respect to the Subleased Premises or this Sublease as Sublessor shall reasonably request.

Sublessor hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such statement delivered pursuant to this Paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective assignee, transferee or mortgagee of the leasehold estate of Sublessee under the Sublease.
27. Consent of Prime Lessor. This Sublease is subject to the approval and consent of Prime Lessor, which Sublessor agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain. This Sublease shall not become effective unless and until a written approval and consent (the "Consent") is executed and delivered by the Prime Lessor, which Consent shall consent to this Sublease. After the Sublessor receives the Consent from the Prime Lessor, Sublessor agrees to promptly deliver a fully-executed original of the Consent to Sublessee. The effectiveness of this Sublease is subject to and conditional upon the receipt by Sublessor and Sublessee of the Consent.

28. Limitation of Liability. No director, officer, shareholder, employee, adviser or agent of Sublessor shall be personally liable in any manner or to any extent under or in connection with this Sublease. In no event shall Sublessor or Sublessee or any of their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, advisers or agents be responsible for any consequential, indirect, punitive or special damages or interruption or loss of business, income or profits, or claims for constructive eviction, nor shall Sublessor or Sublessee be liable for loss of or damage to artwork, securities or other valuables, or for other property not in the nature of ordinary fixtures, furnishings and equipment used in general administrative office activities.
29. (Intentionally omitted)
30. Option to Expand. Sublessee shall have the right of first negotiation to sublease any additional space on the third floor of the Building (the "Expansion Space") that "becomes available" during the Term of this Sublease upon and subject to the terms of this Sublease. Space shall be deemed to "become available" when Sublessor ceases to occupy the same or the sublease for the then current occupant of the space expires or is otherwise terminated and in either case Sublessor determines to offer some or all thereof on the open market for sublease. Space shall not be deemed to "become available" if the space is: (i) released to the then current tenant of the space by renewal, extension or renegotiation, (ii) subject to a specific expansion right of another subtenant in the Building existing as of the Commencement Date or subsequently entered into in compliance with this Paragraph 30, or
15
(iii) not leased to a subtenant as of the date of this Sublease (until that space is leased, and then subsequently becomes available). Sublessor agrees that it will not offer any space on the third floor of the Building that has "become available" without first complying with the terms of this Paragraph 30 unless and until this Sublease has terminated or expired in accordance with the provisions hereof. When any space on the third floor of the Building becomes available, Sublessor shall give Sublessee not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice, which notice shall identify the Expansion Space and the anticipated date the Expansion Space will be available for Sublessee's occupancy as set forth in this Sublease. Sublessee shall then have thirty (30) days to negotiate an agreement with Sublessor on the rent and other business terms with respect to the Expansion Space. If Sublessor and Sublessee reach an agreement with respect to the Expansion Space, (a) the Expansion Space will be deemed a part of the Subleased Premises and all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease shall apply to such Expansion Space, excluding the agreed upon business terms for the Expansion Space, (b) the commencement date of the Sublease with respect to the Expansion Space shall be the later of (i) thirty (30) days after Sublessor's initial notice to Sublessee notifying Sublessee that space on the third floor of the Building has become available or (ii) the date the Expansion Space is vacated (the "Effective Date"), and (c) the Security Deposit will increase in proportion to the increase in Rent and Sublessee shall provide Sublessor with a replacement letter of credit in the new amount of the Security Deposit prior to the Effective Date. The rights of Sublessee under this Paragraph 30 shall be subject to the following conditions: (x) that at the time Sublessee exercises its rights hereunder (i) the Prime Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) this Sublease is in full force and effect without default on the part of Sublessee hereunder; and (iii) the Sublessee originally named hereunder shall be in actual occupancy of 100% of the Subleased Premises; and (y) prior to the Effective Date Sublessee shall deliver to Sublessor a replacement letter of credit in the new amount of the Security Deposit. If Sublessor and Sublessee do not reach an agreement within thirty (30) days after the Expansion Space "becomes available", Sublessor shall have the right to sublease the subject Expansion Space to a third party on any terms Sublessor deems appropriate, to reoccupy the Expansion Space or to leave the Expansion Space vacant.
31. Termination Right. During the Term, if Sublessor is unable to accommodate Sublessee's expansion needs within the Building, if any, with space that is adjacent to or in close proximity to the Subleased Premises and subject to Sublessee's reasonable approval or if Sublessor and Sublessee fail to reach agreement after Sublessor notifies Sublessee that certain Expansion Space has become available, then Sublessee shall have a one time right to terminate this Sublease on the date that is twenty-seven (27) months after the Commencement Date (the "Early Termination Date"), provided that Sublessee provides Sublessor with written notice given at least six (6) months prior to the Early Termination Date.

Landlord reserves the right to stop any service or utility system, when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been completed; provided, however, that in each instance of stoppage, Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause thereof. Except in case of emergency repairs, Landlord will give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any contemplated stoppage and will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary interruption of Tenant's use of the Premises by reason thereof.
The foregoing notwithstanding, if Landlord fails for any reason within Landlord's control to provide any service to be supplied by Landlord under the Lease which is necessary for Tenant's reasonable use of the Premises (such as HVAC, elevator service, electricity, water, or structural repairs), and Tenant is unable to use the Premises on account of such failure, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportional abatement of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent based on the portion of the Premises which is not used by Tenant, unless Landlord cannot repair such services or utility systems due to force majeure or delays caused by Tenant. This abatement shall begin on the thirtieth (30th) consecutive business day from Tenant's written notice to Landlord of the failure. The abatement shall end when the services are restored sufficient to permit use of the Premises.

If Tenant's use of the Premises results in an increase in the premium for any insurance on the Building or the contents thereof, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such increase and Tenant shall pay same as additional charges. Tenant may not without Landlord's consent install in the Premises any pay telephones, vending machines, water fountains, refrigerators, sinks or cooking equipment provided that Landlord's consent will not be unreasonably withheld with respect to items designed for the convenience of Tenant's employees which are customary for office employees or laboratory use.

Tenant shall not assign this Lease, or sublet or license the Premises or any portion thereof, or permit the occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises by anybody other than Tenant (all or any of the foregoing actions are referred to as "Transfers" and all or any of assignees, subtenants, licensees, and other such parties are referred to as "Transferees") without obtaining, on each occasion, the prior consent of the Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.8, this Lease may be assigned, or the Premises may be sublet, in whole or in part, after prior notice to Landlord but without consent of the Landlord and without any termination right of the Landlord being applicable thereto, (i) to any corporation or other entity into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated or to any corporation or entity to which all or substantially all of the

Landlord may collect rent and other charges from the Transferee and apply the net amount collected to the rent and other charges hereunder, but no such assignment or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of Section 5.8, or the acceptance of the Transferee, as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from direct and primary liability for the further performance of Tenant's covenants hereunder. The consent by Landlord to a particular Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from the requirement of obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further Transfer.

Landlord's approval of the construction documents shall signify Landlord's consent to the work shown thereon only and Tenant shall be solely responsible for any errors or omissions contained therein. Landlord's consents and approvals under this Section 5.9 shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
5.10 SURRENDER
At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, without the requirement of any notice, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises including all improvements thereto and all replacements thereof, including carpeting, any water or electricity meters, supplementary electrical and HVAC equipment, and all fixtures and partitions, in any way bolted or otherwise attached to the Premises (which shall become the property of Landlord) except such items as Landlord shall direct Tenant to remove, the Premises and improvements to be in the condition in which the same are required to be maintained under Section 5.1. Prior to the surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall perform a final assessment similar in scope to the Baseline Assessment performed pursuant to Section 2.4 ("Final Assessment"). If the Final Assessment reveals any Hazardous Materials not required by law to be removed or abated (for example, because the amount, type or level of Hazardous Materials falls below regulation under law), at surrender, Tenant shall not be required to remove such Hazardous Materials, provided, that such amount, type or levels of Hazardous Materials has not changed since the date of the Baseline Assessment, and if the amount or levels of Hazardous Materials outlined in the Baseline Assessment has increased since the Baseline Assessment, Tenant shall cause the clean-up and removal of such Hazardous Materials to those levels set forth in the Baseline Assessment. Tenant shall, at the time of surrender, remove only those improvements, goods, effects and fixtures (including cabling) which (i) Landlord directs Tenant to remove as provided in this Section 5.10 at the time Tenant installs such improvements, goods, effects and fixtures, provided that Landlord has received notice and information with respect to such installation and (ii) such improvements listed on Exhibit H (Tenant's Personal Property). Tenant shall make any repairs to the Premises and other areas necessitated by such removal and leave the Premises clean and tenantable. Should Tenant fail to remove any of such goods, effects, and fixtures, Landlord may have them removed forcibly, if necessary, and store any of Tenant's property in a public warehouse at the risk of Tenant. If such items are not removed from storage within thirty (30) days, such items may be sold by any customary methods in order to pay storage costs and other expenses of Landlord. The expense of such removal, storage and reasonable repairs necessitated by such removal shall be borne by Tenant or reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord.

If the taking of a part of the Premises materially interferes with Tenant's ability to continue its business operations then Tenant may end this Lease on the earlier of: (i) the date when title vests; (ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority; or (iii) sixty (60) days following notice to Tenant of the date when vesting or dispossession is to occur.

Tenant hereby releases and assigns to Landlord all Tenant's rights to such awards, and covenants to deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request. Tenant shall be entitled to claim and retain amounts which may be awarded to Tenant (specifically so designated by the court or authority having jurisdiction over the matter) in any condemnation proceedings due to the taking of its trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, loss of its leasehold estate, relocation expenses, goodwill and such business loss as Tenant shall separately and specifically establish.

13
Landlord's notice is given together with an estimate of time required for such cure, Tenant shall be allowed such longer period, but only if cure is begun within such 30-day period and such delay does not cause increased risk of damage to person or property), or (2) if three or more notices under clause (1) hereof are given in any twelve month period (failure to pay rent or any other sum for more than 3 days after the particular due date shall have the same effect under this clause (2) as such a notice); (3) if the leasehold hereby created shall be taken on execution, or by other process of law, or if any assignment shall be made of Tenant's property for the benefit of creditors; or (4) if a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of all or any part of Tenant's property and such appointment is not discharged within 90 days thereafter or if a petition including, without limitation, a petition for reorganization or arrangement is filed by Tenant under any bankruptcy law or is filed against Tenant and not dismissed within 90 days from the date upon which it is filed, then, and in any of said cases, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease by notice of termination, by entry, or by any other means available under law and may recover possession of the Premises as provided herein. Upon termination by notice, by entry, or by any other means available under law, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, in the case of termination by notice or entry, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of law to recover possession of the Premises from Tenant and those claiming through or under the Tenant. Such termination of this Lease and repossession of the Premises shall be without prejudice to any remedies which Landlord might otherwise have for arrears of rent or for a prior breach of the provisions of this Lease.

Landlord may, without notice, store Tenant's personal property (and those of any person claiming under Tenant) at the expense and risk of Tenant or, if Landlord so elects, Landlord may sell such personal property at public auction or auctions or at private sale or sales after seven days notice to Tenant and apply the net proceeds to the earliest of installments of rent or other charges owing Landlord. Tenant agrees that a notice by Landlord alleging any default shall, at Landlord's option (the exercise of such option shall be indicated by the inclusion of the words "notice to quit" in such notice), constitute a statutory notice to quit. If Landlord exercises its option to designate a notice of default hereunder as a statutory notice to quit, any grace periods provided for herein shall run concurrently with any statutory notice periods. Landlord and Tenant waive trial by jury in any action to which they are parties. Tenant further agrees that it shall not interpose any non-compulsory counterclaim or set-off in any summary proceeding or in any action based in whole or in part on non-payment of rent.

The reimbursement from Tenant shall be due and payable immediately from time to time upon notice from Landlord that an expense has been incurred, without regard to whether the expense was incurred before or after the termination.
7.3 DAMAGES
In the event of the termination of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant within one year following such termination to be indemnified for loss of rent by a lump sum
14
payment representing the then present value of the amount of rent and additional charges which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease for the remainder of the Term or the Extension Term, as the case may be, minus the then present value of the aggregate fair market rent and additional charges payable for the Premises for the remainder of the Term or the Extension Term, as the case may be; (if less than the rent and additional charges payable hereunder), estimated as of the date of the termination, and taking into account reasonable projections of vacancy and time required to re-lease the Premises; (For the purposes of calculating the rent which would have been paid hereunder for the lump sum payment calculation described herein, the last full year's additional charges under Section 2.6 is to be deemed constant for each year thereafter. The Federal Reserve discount rate (or equivalent) shall be used in calculating present values.) Should the parties be unable to agree on a fair market rent, the matter shall be submitted, upon the demand of either party, to the Boston, Massachusetts office of the American Arbitration Association, with a request for arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Association by a single arbitrator who shall be an MAI appraiser with at least ten years experience as an appraiser of major office buildings in the Greater Boston area and shall not have a prior relationship with either party. The parties agree that a decision of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon them. If, at the end of the Term, the rent which Landlord has actually received from the Premises is less than the aggregate fair market rent estimated as aforesaid, Tenant shall thereupon pay Landlord the amount of such difference. Should Landlord fail to make the election provided for in this Section 7.3, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for the loss of rent by a payment at the end of each month which would have been included in the Term, representing the difference between the rent which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease (Annual Fixed Rent under Section 2.5, and additional charges which would have been payable under Section 2.6 to be ascertained monthly) and the rent actually derived from the Premises by Landlord for such month (the amount of rent deemed derived shall be the actual amount less any portion thereof attributable to Landlord's reletting expenses described in Section 7.2 which have not been reimbursed by Tenant thereunder).
7.4 MITIGATION
Any obligation under this Lease or otherwise imposed by law upon Landlord to relet the Premises shall be subject to the right of Landlord (and its affiliates) to lease other available space in Xxxxx Xxxxx Office Park and to the reasonable requirements of Landlord to lease to high quality tenants and to lease the Building in a harmonious manner with an appropriate mix of uses, tenants, floor areas and terms of tenancies, and the like.

Nothing herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain in a proceeding for bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement or reorganization, by reason of the termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by a statute or law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount is greater to, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damage which Landlord has suffered.
7.6 INTEREST ON UNPAID AMOUNTS
If any payment of Annual Fixed Rent, additional charges, or other payment due from Tenant to Landlord is not paid when due, then without notice and in addition to all other remedies hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on such unpaid amount equal to 1.5% of the amount in question for each month and for each part thereof during which said delinquency continues; provided, however, in no event shall such interest exceed the maximum amount permitted to be charged by applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord desires to regain possession of the Premises promptly after the termination or expiration hereof and prior to acceptance of rent for any period thereafter, Landlord may, at its option, forthwith re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof by any legal process in force in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Notwithstanding the establishment of any holdover tenancy following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, if Tenant fails promptly to vacate the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall save Landlord harmless and indemnified against any claim, loss, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of Tenant's failure promptly to vacate the Premises (or any portion thereof).

8.19 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
This Lease may be executed in counterparts and shall constitute the agreement of Landlord and Tenant whether or not their signatures appear in a single copy hereof. This Lease shall be construed as a sealed instrument and shall be governed exclusively by the provisions hereof and by the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts as the same may from time to time exist.

The enumeration of specific examples of or inclusions in a general provision shall not be construed as a limitation of the general provision. If Tenant is granted any extension option, expansion option or other right or option, the exercise of such right or option (and notice thereof) must be unconditional to be effective, time always being of the essence to the exercise of such right or option; and if Tenant purports to condition the exercise of any option or to vary its terms in any manner, then the option granted shall be void and the purported exercise shall be ineffective. Unless otherwise stated herein, any consent or approval required hereunder may be given or withheld in the sole absolute discretion of the party whose consent or approval is required.

19
microfilm, microfiche or other reproduction process and the originals thereof may be destroyed; and each party agrees that any reproductions shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not reproduction was made in the regular course of business) and that any further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.

ARTICLE IX
LANDLORD'S LIABILITY AND ASSIGNMENT FOR FINANCING
9.1 LANDLORD'S LIABILITY
Tenant agrees from time to time to look only to Landlord's interest in the Land and Building for satisfaction of any claim against Landlord hereunder or under any other instrument related to the Lease (including any separate agreements among the parties and any notices or certificates delivered by Landlord) and not to any other property or assets of Landlord. If Landlord from time to time transfers its interest in the Land and Building (or part thereof which includes the Premises), then from and after each such transfer Tenant shall look solely to the interests in the Land and Building of each of Landlord's transferees for the performance of all of the obligations of Landlord hereunder (or under any related instrument). The obligations of Landlord shall not be binding on any partners (or trustees or beneficiaries) of Landlord or of any successor, individually, but only upon Landlord's or such successor's interest described above.
In no event shall Landlord ever be liable for any indirect or consequential damages.
9.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS
If, at any time and from time to time, Landlord assigns this Lease or the rents payable hereunder to the holder of any mortgage on the Building, or to any other party for the purpose of securing financing (the holder of any such mortgage and any other such financing party are referred to herein as the "Financing Party"), whether such assignment is conditional in nature or otherwise, the following provisions shall apply:
(i) Such assignment to the Financing Party shall not be deemed an assumption by the Financing Party of any obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such Financing Party shall, by written notice to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect;
(ii) Except as provided in (i) above and (iii) below, the Financing Party shall be treated as having assumed Landlord's obligations hereunder (subject to Section 9.1) only upon foreclosure of its mortgage (or voluntary conveyance by deed in lieu thereof) and the taking of possession of the Premises from and after foreclosure and, with respect to obligations regarding return of the security deposit, only upon receipt of the funds constituting such security deposit;
(iii) Subject to Section 9.1, the Financing Party shall be responsible for only such breaches under the Lease by Landlord which occur during the period of ownership by the Financing Party
20
after such foreclosure (or voluntary conveyance by deed in lieu thereof) and taking of possession, and defaults which are continuing as of such date, as aforesaid;
(iv) In the event Tenant alleges that Landlord is in default under any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease, Tenant agrees to give the holder of any mortgage, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default which is served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified, in writing, (whether by way of notice of an assignment of lease, request to execute an estoppel letter, or otherwise) of the address of any such holder. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided by law or such additional time as may be provided in such notice to Landlord, such holder shall have sixty (60) days after the last date on which Landlord could have cured such default within which such holder will be permitted to cure such default. If such default cannot be cured within such sixty-day period, then such holder shall have such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default, if within such sixty day period such holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to effect such cure (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary, to effect such cure), in which event Tenant shall have no right with respect to such default while such remedies are being diligently pursued by such holder.
In all events, any liability of a Financing Party shall be limited to the interest of such Financing Party in the Land and Building, and in no event shall a Financing Party ever be liable for any indirect or consequential damages.
Tenant hereby agrees to enter into such agreements or instruments as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested in confirmation of the foregoing.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's interest in this Lease has been assigned to Principal Mutual Life Insurance Company ("Principal") pursuant to an Assignment of Leases and Rents dated November 25, 1996 ("Lease Assignment") and recorded with the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds as Instrument Number 737 on November 25, 1996. Until the Lease Assignment is discharged of record, Tenant shall, upon notice by Principal, make payments under this Lease as directed by Principal. Unless and until such notice is given by Principal, all payments shall be made as set forth in Section 2.5.
ARTICLE X
SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any first mortgage and to any junior mortgage that has been approved by the first mortgagee that may now be placed upon the Building and/or the Land and to any and all advances to be made under such mortgages and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, extensions and consolidations thereof. Any mortgagee may elect to give this Lease priority to its mortgage, except that the Lease shall not have priority to (i) the prior right, claim and lien of such mortgagees in, to and upon any insurance proceeds and the disposition thereof under the mortgage; (ii) the prior right, claim and lien of such mortgagees in, to and upon any award or compensation heretofore or hereafter to be made for any taking by eminent domain of any part of the Premises, and to the right of disposition thereof under the mortgage; and (iii) any lien, right, power or interest, if any, which may have arisen or intervened in the period between the recording of the mortgages and the execution of this Lease, or any lien or judgment which may arise any time under the terms of this Lease. In the event of such election and upon notification by such mortgagee, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to the said mortgage. This Section shall be self-operative, but in confirmation thereof, Tenant shall execute and deliver a Non-disturbance, and Attornment Agreement (an "SNDA") substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. With respect to any future mortgagee, Tenant shall agree to subordinate this Lease upon the execution of an SNDA reasonably mutually agreeable to the parties, in recordable form, and containing substantially the same terms and provisions as those set
21
forth in Exhibit J hereto. Landlord shall use diligent efforts to obtain a non-disturbance agreement from its current mortgagee prior to Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, and all future mortgagees and ground lessors, if any.

Landlord shall have the right to establish and enforce against all users of the automobile parking area, such reasonable rules and regulations as may be deemed necessary and advisable for the proper and efficient operation and maintenance of the automobile parking area, including the hours during which the automobile parking area shall be open for use.

Landlord shall at all times during the term hereof have the sole and exclusive control of the automobile parking area, and may at any time during the term hereof exclude and restrain any person from use thereof; excepting, however, Tenant and its employees, bona fide customers, patrons and service suppliers of Tenant and other tenants of Landlord who make use of said area in accordance with any non-discriminatory rules and regulations established by Landlord from time to time with respect thereto. Landlord shall also have the right to designate certain automobile parking areas as being for the exclusive use of one or more of the Tenants of Landlord, provided, however, that Landlord shall not offer on an exclusive basis any parking spaces immediately adjacent to the Building. The rights of Tenant referred to in this Article shall at all times be subject to the rights of Landlord and the other tenants of Landlord to use the same in common with Tenant, and it shall be the duty of Tenant to keep all of said area free and clear of any obstructions created or permitted by Tenant or resulting from Tenant's operations and to permit the use of any of said area only for normal parking and ingress and egress by said customers, patrons and service suppliers to and from the Building.
Landlord shall at all times have the right and privilege of determining the nature and extent of the automobile parking area, whether the same shall be surface, underground or other structure, and of making such changes therein from time to time which in its opinion are deemed to be desirable and for the best interests of all persons using the automobile parking area.
22
