ARTICLE XV
Destruction Of Premises
15.1 Termination for Major Casualties. In the event that the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire, windstorm or any other casualty (a “Casualty”) to such an extent that, in the commercially reasonable judgment of either party, (a) at least 75% of the rentable area of the Premises cannot be occupied and used by either party in the ordinary course of business or (b) any damage or destruction to the Premises cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the Casualty (each such event, a “Material Casualty”), or if insurance proceeds (excluding the amount of the deductible under the applicable insurance) shall be insufficient to restore such Casualty (unless such insufficiency is the result of either party’s failure to maintain the insurance required under this Lease), then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such Casualty (notwithstanding any contrary provisions in the Lease) by furnishing written notice to the other party to that effect not more than thirty (30) days after the Casualty. If either party so terminates this Lease under this Section 15.1, the Rent and additional rent with respect thereto shall be prorated and paid or refunded, as appropriate, from the date of the Material Casualty.
15.2 Restoration of Damage. In the event of a Casualty that is not a Material Casualty, or if neither party elects to exercise its right to terminate this Lease as provided in Section 15.1 above in connection with a Material Casualty, then LESSOR, at its expense (subject to reimbursement from any proceeds of insurance arising from the applicable Casualty), shall repair and restore the Premises to a condition at least equivalent to the condition that prevailed immediately before such Casualty with reasonable diligence and continuity. If, during the period of such repair and restoration, LESSEE is unable to reasonably use all or any part of the Premises in the ordinary course of LESSEE’s business without material interference or impairment, then LESSEE shall receive a reduction in the Rent and additional rent proportionate to the fraction of the Premises unusable by LESSEE in the ordinary course of its business without material interference or impairment from the date of the applicable Casualty until LESSEE is again reasonably able to use the entire Premises without material interference or impairment. If LESSOR is obligated to repair and restore the Premises as aforesaid, LESSEE shall make available to LESSOR all insurance proceeds received on account of the applicable Casualty (other than any insurance proceeds attributable to LESSEE’s property), and LESSOR shall apply such proceeds towards the cost of such repair and restoration to the extent necessary to comply with this Section 15.2.

16.2 Notice of Service of Process. Each party shall give the other immediate notice of the service on them or either of them of any legal process in connection with any such condemnation proceedings.

(a) Neither LESSEE nor any person claiming through or under LESSEE shall be entitled to acquire or remain in possession of the Premises, and LESSOR shall have no further liability hereunder to LESSEE or any person claiming through or under LESSEE, and if LESSEE or any such person is in possession, LESSEE or any such person shall forthwith quit and surrender the Premises to LESSOR without further demand or notice, and LESSOR may lawfully enter the Premises, using such remedies as may be available under the law, and remove all persons and chattels therefrom and LESSOR shall not be liable for damages or otherwise by reason of re-entry or termination of this Lease or its terms;
(b) LESSOR shall have the right of eviction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, unlawful detainer proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for; and
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the exercise of any remedy provided pursuant to this Lease or under law shall not deprive LESSOR of other actions against the LESSEE for possession or rent, and all such remedies are non-exclusive and can be exercised concurrently or separately as LESSOR desires.

19.1 Assignment or Subleasing Prohibited. LESSEE is prohibited from subletting the Premises in whole or in part, or of transferring or in any way assigning or conveying this Lease in whole or in part to any person other than a subsidiary or an affiliate or parent corporation of LESSEE, without the prior written consent of LESSOR. If LESSEE sublets, transfers or in any way assigns or conveys this Lease, in whole or in part, to a subsidiary or an affiliate or parent corporation of LESSEE, LESSEE shall provide LESSOR with prior written notice of said action. LESSEE’s violation of this clause constitutes just cause for LESSOR to terminate and cancel the Lease.
19.2 Quiet Enjoyment. LESSEE, upon paying the Rent and all additional rent and other charges, and performing all the other terms of this Lease, shall quietly have and enjoy the Premises during the term of this Lease without hindrance or interference by anyone claiming by or through LESSOR.

(a) LESSOR reserves the right, in accordance herewith, to enter the Premises in order to inspect the same after 24 hour prior notice to LESSEE or as is otherwise reasonably necessary in the operation and/or protection of the Premises, its components or persons therein; provided however, that LESSOR shall take reasonable commercial efforts to minimize any disturbance to LESSEE or any interruption of LESSEE’s business.
(b) LESSEE will give LESSOR and its affiliates and their personnel, contractors, representatives and agents such access to the Premises as is reasonably necessary for LESSOR to perform the Alpha Manufacturing with respect to the Product and the Pipeline Products (with Alpha Manufacturing, Product and Pipeline Products having the meaning given to such terms in the Manufacturing Agreement).
19.4 Amendments. This Lease may not be amended, modified or terminated nor may any obligation hereunder be waived orally, and no such amendment, modification, termination or waiver will become effective for any purpose unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement thereof is sought.
19.5 Waiver. Failure on the part of either party to complain of any action or non-action on the part of the other party, no matter how long the same may continue, shall never be deemed to be a waiver by such party of any of its rights hereunder. No waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by either party shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and either’s waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval by either party to or of any action by the other party requiring such consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary said party’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act.
19.6 Invalidity of Particular Provisions. If any term or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
19.7 Provisions Binding, Etc. Except as herein otherwise specifically provided, the terms hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, respectively, of LESSOR and LESSEE. Each term and each provision of this Lease to be performed by LESSEE shall be construed to be both a covenant and a condition. The reference contained to successors and assigns or LESSEE is not intended to constitute a consent to assignment by LESSEE, but has reference only to those instances in which LESSOR may later give written consent to a particular assignment as required by this Lease.
19.8 Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed exclusively by the provisions hereof and by the laws of the State of Delaware as the same may from time to time exist.

– 19 –

If LESSOR or LESSEE shall, as the result of any of the above described events, fail punctually to perform any obligation on its part to be performed, under this Lease, then such failure shall be excused and not be a breach of this Lease by the party in question, but only to the extent occasioned by such event. If any right or option of either party to take any action under or with respect to this Lease is conditioned upon the same being exercised within any prescribed period of time or at or before a named date, then such prescribed period of time and such named date shall be deemed to be extended or delayed, as the case may be for a period equal to the period of the delay occasioned by any above-described event. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, however, the provisions of this section shall not be applicable to LESSEE’s obligation to pay rent or its obligations to pay any other sum, monies, costs, charges or expenses required to be paid by LESSEE hereunder, and to LESSOR’s obligations under the provisions of Article IV.
