If any such damage caused solely by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of a Tenant Party occurs outside of the Premises, then Landlord may elect to repair such damage at Tenant's expense, rather than having Tenant repair such damage. The cost of all maintenance, repair or replacement work performed by Landlord under this Section 8(b) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord has invoiced Tenant therefor.
(c) Performance of Work. All work described in this Section 8 shall be performed only by Landlord or by contractors and subcontractors reasonably approved in writing by Landlord. Landlord hereby approves the contractors listed in Schedule 1 to Exhibit D for the construction of the initial tenant improvements .. Tenant shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to procure and maintain insurance coverage naming Landlord, Landlord's property management company and Landlord's asset management company as additional insureds against such risks, in such amounts, and with such companies as Landlord may reasonably require. Tenant shall provide Landlord with the identities, mailing addresses and telephone numbers of all persons performing work or supplying materials prior to beginning such construction and Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable Laws .. All such work shall be performed in accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner so as not to damage the Buildings (including the Premises, the Buildings' Structure and the Buildings' Systems). All such work which may affect the Buildings' Structure or the Buildings' Systems must be approved by the Buildings' engineer of record, at Tenants expense and, at Landlord's election, must be performed by Landlord's usual contractor for such work. All work affecting the roofs of the Buildings must be performed by Landlord's roofing contractor and no such work will be permitted if it would void or reduce the warranty on the roofs.
(d) Mechanics' Liens. All work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or at the request of a Tenant Party shall be deemed authorized and ordered by Tenant only, and Tenant shall not permit any mechanics' liens to be filed against the Premises or the Complex in connection therewith. Upon completion of any such work (other than Minor Alterations), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord final lien waivers from all contractors, subcontractors and material men who performed such work. If such a lien is filed, then Tenant shall, within ten days after Landlord has delivered notice of the filing thereof to Tenant (or such earlier time period as may be necessary to prevent the forfeiture of the Premises, the Complex or any interest of Landlord therein or the imposition of a civil or criminal fine with respect thereto), either (1) pay the amount of the lien and cause the lien to be released of record, (2) insure over or bond off such lien to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction, or (3) diligently contest such lien and deliver to Landlord a bond or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. If Tenant fails to timely take any such action, then Landlord may pay the lien claim, and any amounts so paid, including expenses and interest, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord has invoiced Tenant
13
therefor. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that their relationship is and shall be solely that of"landlord tenant" (thereby excluding a relationship of "owner-contractor," "owner-agent" or other similar relationships). Accordingly, all material men, contractors, artisans, mechanics, laborers and any· other persons now or hereafter contracting with Tenant, any contractor or subcontractor of Tenant or any other Tenant Party for the furnishing of any labor; services, materials, supplies or equipment with respect to any portion of the Premises, at any time from the date hereof until the end of the Te=, are hereby charged with notice that they look exclusively to Tenant to obtain payment for same. Nothing herein shall be deemed a consent by Landlord to any liens being placed upon the Premises, the Complex or Landlord's interest therein due to any work performed by or for Tenant or deemed to give any contractor or subcontractor or material man any right or interest in any funds held by Landlord to reimburse Tenant for any portion of the cost of such work. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its agents and representatives from and against all claims, demands, causes of action, suits, judgments, damages and expenses (including attorneys' fees) in any way arising from or relating to the failure by any Tenant Party to pay for any work performed, materials furnished, or obligations incurred by or at the request of a Tenant Party. This indemnity provision shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.
(e) SCIF Space. Landlord agrees that the use and maintenance of one (1) Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities ("SCIF") of not more than five thousand (5,000) square feet in each of the Building 1 Premises and the Building 2 Premises that contain or may contain from time to time, as Tenant designates, U.S. Government classified information (collectively "SCIF Areas"), shall be deemed a Permitted Use pursuant to the this of this Lease. The installation of any SCIF Areas in the Premises shall be subject to.Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except in the event that any such installation will or may affect the exterior or structure of the Building(s) or will or may materially adversely affect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC or other systems or the exterior or structure of the Building(s), in which event such consent may be withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion, and shall otherwise be performed in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease, including the this of Exhibit D, if included as part of the initial Tenant Improvements, or shall be performed in accordance with the this and provisions of this Section 8, to the extent not included as part of the initial Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may, at its own expense, provide its own locks and electronic or non-electronic controlled-access and alarm systems in connection with the SCIF Areas; provided, however, that Tenant shall furnish Landlord with a key, badges or other methods of access to any SCIF Areas within two (2) days after installation of any such locks or electronic or non-electronic controlled-access and alarm system and that upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall surrender all such keys (and badges, if Tenant leaves the access control system in the Premises) to Landlord. Landlord shall comply with all reasonable security measures pertaining to the SCIF Areas. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any services, including janitorial service or cleaning, in the SCIF Areas unless such SCIF Areas are unlocked and made available to Landlord's cleaning personnel at the time such personnel are in the Premises. If Landlord must access a SCIF Area, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord access thereto, subject to such reasonable requirements as are required by third parties; provided, however, nothing in this Paragraph will be deemed or construed to limit Landlord's right of entry without Tenant's consent or prior notice in the case of a real or apparent emergency as provided in Section 23(a).
9. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use and shall comply with all Laws relating to the use, condition, access to, and occupancy of the Premises and will not commit waste, overload the Buildings' Structure or the Buildings' Systems (subject to the provisions of Section 7(b)). Tenant and its employees shall have the non-exclusive right to use the fire stairs, lobbies and common areas of the building as reasonably necessary to conduct Tenant's business operations at the Premises. Tenant may use the Premises after normal business hours, so long as Tenant is not generally conducting business from the Premises after normal business hours. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, as between Landlord and Tenant, (a) Tenant shall bear the risk of complying with Title III of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, any state laws governing handicapped access or architectural barriers, and all rules, regulations, and guidelines promulgated under such laws, as amended from time to time (the "Disabilities Acts") in the Premises,and (b) Landlord shall bear the risk of complying with the Disabilities Acts in the common areas oft he Buildings and Complex, other than compliance that is necessitated by the use of the Premises for other than the Permitted Use or as a result. of any alterations or additions, including any initial tenant improvement work, made by or on behalf of a Tenant Party (which risk and responsibility shall be borne by Tenant)~ The Premises shall not be used for any use which is disreputable, creates extraordinary fire hazards, or results in an increased rate of insurance on the Buildings or their contents, or for the storage of any Hazardous Materials (as defined below) (other than typical office and computer lab supplies [e.g.,
14
photocopier toner] and then only in compliance with all Laws). Tenant shall not use any substantial portion of the Premises for a "call center," any other telemarketing use, or any credit processing use. If, because of a Tenant Party's acts in violation of this Section, or because Tenant vacates the Premises and does not provide reasonable access control thereafter, the rate of insurance on the Buildings or their contents increases, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such increase on demand, and acceptance of such payment shall not waive any of Landlord's other rights. Tenant shall conduct its business and use commercially reasonable efforts to control each other Tenant Party so as not to create any nuisance or unreasonably interfere with other tenants or Landlord in its management of the Buildings.
10. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) Transfers. Except as provided in Section lOCh), Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, (1) assign, transfer, or encumber this Lease or any estate or interest herein, whether directly or by operation of law, (2) permit any other entity to become Tenant hereunder by merger, consolidation, or other reorganization; (3) if Tenant is an entity other than a corporation whose stock is publicly traded, permit the transfer of an ownership interest in Tenant so as to result in a change in the current control of Tenant, (4) sublet any portion of the Premises, (5) grant any license, concession, or other right of occupancy of any pOliion of the Premises, or
(6) permit the use of the Premises by any parties other than Tenant (any of the events listed in Section 10(a)(1) through 10(a)(6) being a "Transfer").
(b) Consent Standards. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to any assignment or subletting of the Premises, provided that the proposed transferee (1) is fmancially capable of assuming the obligations of tenant hereunder, (2) is reputable, (3) will use the Premises for the Permitted Use (thus, excluding, without limitation, uses for credit processing and telemarketing) and will not use the Premises in any xxxxxx that would conflict with any exclusive use agreement or other similar agreement entered into by Landlord with any other tenarit of the Buildmgs or Complex, (4) will not use the Premises,Buildings or Complex in a xxxxxx that would materially increase the pedestrian or vehicular traffic to the Premises, Buildings or Complex; (5) is not a governmental entity, or subdivision or agency thereof, and (6) is not another occupant ofthe Buildings or Complex and Landlord is able to provide reasonably equivalent space within the Buildings or· the Complex; otherwise, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion. Additionally, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion to any proposed Transfer if any monetary Event of Default by Tenant then exists. The consent standards and procedures described in this Section 10 shall also apply to any subsequent Transfers.
(c) Request for Consent. If Tenant requests Landlord's consent to a Transfer, then, at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the effective date of the proposed Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a written description 6f all terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, copies of the proposed documentation, and the following information about the proposed transferee: name and address; reasonably satisfactory information about its business and business history; its proposed use of the Premises; banking, financial, and other credit information; and general references sufficient to enable Landlord to determine the proposed transferee's creditworthiness and character ("Tenant's Request Notice"). Concurrently with Tenant's notice of any request for consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee of $I,000 to defray Landlord's expenses in reviewing such request, and Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord immediately upon request for its reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with considering any request for' consent to a Transfer; provided, however, in no event will the reimbursements by Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Section 10(c) exceed Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500) in the aggregate for any individual request for consent.
(d) Conditions to Consent. If Landlord consents to a proposed Transfer, then the proposed transferee shall deliver to Landlord a written agreement whereby it expressly assumes Tenant's obligations hereunder; however, any transferee of less than all of the space in the Premises shall be liable only for obligations under this Lease that are properly allocable to the space subject to the Transfer for the period of the Transfer. No Transfer shall release Tenant from its obligations under this Lease, but rather Tenant and its transferee shall be jointly and severally liable therefor. Landlord's consent to any Transfer shall not waive Landlord's rights as to any subsequent Transfers. If an Event of Default occurs while the Premises or any part thereof are subject to a Transfer, then Landlord, in addition to its other remedies, may collect directly from such transferee all rents becoming due to Tenant and apply such rents against Rent. Tenant authorizes its transfer fees to make payments of rent directly to Landlord upon receipt of notice from Landlord to do so following the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.
15
Tenant shall pay for the cost of any demising walls or other improvements necessitated by a proposed subletting or assignment.
(e) Attornment bv Subtenants. Each sublease by Tenant hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and each subtenant by entering into a sublease is deemed to have agreed that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossession by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublandlord, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (1) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (2) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense that such subtenant might have against Tenant, (3) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not approved by Landlord in writing or by any rent or additional rent or advance rent which such subtenant might have paid for more than the current month to Tenant, and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment, (4) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made by such subtenant which is not delivered or paid over to Landlord and with respect to which such subtenant shall look solely to Tenant for refund or reimbursement, or (5) obligated to perform any work in the subleased space or to prepare it for occupancy, and in connection with such attornment, the subtenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such attornment. Each subtenant or licensee of Tenant shall be deemed, automatically upon and as a condition of its occupying or using the Premises or any part thereof, to have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Section lO(e). The provisions of this Section lO(e) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision.
(f) Recapture. Landlord may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's Request Notice with respect to (i) sublease for any period of time (only) space on a floor of a Building for which Tenant (or a Permitted Transferee) is not leasing all of the rentable square footage on such floor (but expressly excluding any first floor computer lab space in the Building 2 Premises, for which Landlord's recapture right shall not apply), and/or (ii) any request to assign or sublease all or any other Premises for the remainder of the Term ((i) and/or (ii), as applicable, a "Recapturable Sublease"), at the time of such request, recapture and cancel this Lease as to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned as of the date the proposed Transfer is to be effective. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, if at any time during the Lease Term Tenant desires in good faith to sublet any of the Premises when Tenant delivers Tenant's Request Notice, such notice will specify that it is sent for the additional purpose of determining whether Landlord will exercise its recapture rights, and not have to contain the identity of the proposed assignee, subtenant or other party, the proposed documentation, the certification stating whether or not any premium or other consideration is being paid, and a description of its business or the most recent financial statement or other evidence of financial responsibility of such proposed assignee, subtenant or other party notwithstanding the terms of Section 1 O(c) above. Landlord shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to recapture and cancel this Lease with respect to the proposed Transfer space that is a Recapturable Sublease by sending Tenant written notice of such termination within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's Request Notice. If Landlord does not cancel this Lease with respect to the proposed Transfer space that is a Recapturable Sublease (or if Landlord fails to send a notice to Tenant electing to recapture and cancel this Lease with respect to such space), then, at any time prior to the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date Landlord receives Tenant's Request Notice, Tenant may sublease the proposed Transfer space described in Tenant's Request Notice to a third party sublease without Landlord's right to recapture, but still subject to the terms of this Article 10. After the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, Landlord's right to recapture in accordance with the terms of this Lease will once again be applicable, subject to Tenant's right to then again deliver Tenant's Request Notice seeking a determination of whether Landlord will exercise its recapture rights. The cost of any construction required to permit the operation of the proposed Transfer space separate from the balance of the Building 1 Premises or Building 2 Premises, as applicable, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent under this Lease, unless the separation of such space results solely from Landlord's exercise of its recapture rights (in which case Landlord shall pay such cost of construction required to permit the operation of the proposed Transfer space separate from the balance of the Building 1 Premises or Building 2 Premis~s, as applicable). If Landlord recaptures and cancels this Lease as to any portion of the Premises, then this Lease shall cease for such portion of the Premises and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent accrued through the cancellation date relating to the portion of the Premises covered by the proposed Transfer, and as to that portion of the Premises which is not part of the proposed Transfer space, this Lease shall remain in full force and
16
effect. Thereafter, Landlord may lease such portion of the Premises to the prospective transferee (or to any other person) without liability to Tenant.
(g) Additional Compensation. While no monetary Event of Default exists, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt thereof, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of (1) all compensation received by Tenant for a Transfer (excluding any consideration for the business being transferred) less the following actual outof-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Tenant with unaffiliated third parties: free rent, work allowances, "hard" and "soft" costs of construction (to the extent not duplicative of work allowance amounts), brokerage commissions, reasonable legal fees, marketing costs and unamortized leasehold improvements, operating expense escalations and pass-throughs in connection with such Transfer (collectively "Transfer Costs") over (2) the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises covered thereby. While any monetary Event of Default exists, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, immediately upon receipt thereof, one hundred percent (100%) of the excess of (A) all compensation received by Tenant for a Transfer (minus the Transfer Costs) over (B) the Rent allocable to the portion of the Premises covered thereby.
(h) Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding Section 10(a), provided any such transaction is not a "sham" transaction intended solely to avoid the.requirements of this Section 10, Tenant may Transfer all or part of , its interest in this Lease or all or part of the Premises (a "Permitted Transfer") to the following types of entities (a "Permitted Transferee") without the written consent of Landlord:
(1) an Affiliate of Tenant;
(2) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity in which or with which Tenant, or its corporate successors or assigns, is merged or consolidated, in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as (A) Tenant's obligations hereunder are assumed by the entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation; and (B) if and only if Tenant is not a publicly traded entity or company, the Tangible Net Worth of the surviving or created entity is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant as of the date hereof; or
(3) any corporation, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company or other business entity acquiring all or substantially all of Tenant's assets, so long as (A) Tenant's obligations hereunder are assumed by the entity surviving such merger or created by such consolidation; and (B) if and only if Tenant is not a publicly traded entity or company immediately prior to such Transfer, the Tangible Net Worth of the surviving or created entity is not less than the Tangible Net Worth of Tenant as of the date hereof. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any such Permitted Transfer. Tenant shall remain liable for the performance of all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder, or if Tenant no longer exists because of a merger, consolidation, or acquisition, the surviving or acquiring entity shall expressly assume in writing the obligations of Tenant hereunder. Additionally, the Permitted Transferee shall comply with all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, including the Permitted Use, and the use of the Premises by the Permitted Transferee may not violate any other agreements affecting the Premises, the Buildings, the Complex, Landlord or other tenants of the Buildings or Complex. No later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of any Permitted Transfer, Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with (A) copies of the instrument effecting any of the foregoing Transfers, (B) documentation establishing Tenant's satisfaction of the requirements set forth above applicable to any such Transfer, and (C) evidence of insurance as required under this Lease with respect to the Permitted Transferee. The occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord's rights as to any subsequent Transfers. "Tangible Net Worth" means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP"), excluding goodwill, but including the value of licenses, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and franchises. Any subsequent Transfer by a Permitted Transferee shall be subject to the terms of this Section 10.

If Landlord's Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, Landlord's Mortgagee shall not be: (1) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor (including Landlord); (2) bound by any rent or additional rent or advance rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior lessor (including Landlord), and all such rent shall remain due and owing, notwithstanding such advance payment; (3) bound by any security or advance rental deposit made ·by Tenant which is not delivered or paid over to Landlord's Mortgagee and with respect to which Tenant shall look solely to Landlord for refund or reimbursement; (4) bound by any termination, amendment or modifIcation of this Lease made without Landlord's Mortgagee's consent and written approval, except for those terminations, amendments and modifIcations permitted to be made by Landlord without Landlord's Mortgagee's consent pursuant to the terms of the loan documents between Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagee; (5) subject to the defenses which Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord); and (6) subject to the offsets which Tenant might have against any prior lessor (including Landlord) except fo;r those offset rights which (A) are expressly provided in this Lease, (B) relate to periods of time following the acquisition of the Buildings by Landlord's Mortgagee, and (C) Tenant has provided written notice to Landlord's Mortgagee and provided Landlord's Mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure the event giving rise to such offset event. Landlord's Mortgagee shall have no liability or responsibility under or pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise after it ceases to own an interest in the Complex. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to require Landlord's Mortgagee to see to the application of the proceeds of any loan, and Tenant's agreements set forth herein shall not be impaired on account of any modifIcation of the documents evidencing and securing any loan.
(e) Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing provisions of this Section 12, if (and only if) Tenant (or a Permitted Transferee) leases more than all of the rentable square footage of an entire floor of Building I and/or Building 2 (as applicable), subsections 12(a) and 12(d), above, shall not be applicable with respect to the Building I Premises and/or Building 2 Premises (as applicable) (otherwise the terms of this Section 12(e) shall not be applicable with respect to the Building I Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises (as applicable)). In such instance, the following subsections 12(e)(1) and 12(e)(2) shall apply (in lieu of subsections 12(a) and 12(d)) to the Building I Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises (as applicable):
(1) This Lease shall be subordinate to any deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument (each, a "Mortgage"), or any ground lease;master lease, or primary lease (each, a "Primary Lease"), that now or hereafter covers all or any part of the Building 1 Premises and/or Building 2 Premises (as applicable) (the mortgagee under any such Mortgage, benefIciary under any such deed of trust, or the lessor under any such Primary Lease is referred to herein as a "Landlord's Mortgagee"), subject to the execution of an SNDA (defIned below) by any then-current Landlord's Mortgagee and Tenant (or any Permitted Transferee, as applicable). Landlord has obtained a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement ("SNDA") from the current
20
Landlord's Mortgagee, and Tenant and Landlord's Mortgagee (existing as of the date of this Lease) executed and delivered such SNDA concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease). Any Landlord's Mortgagee may elect, at any time, unilaterally, to make this Lease superior to its Mortgage, Primary Lease, or other interest in the Premises by so notifying Tenant in writing. If at any time Landlord refinances the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, Tenant shall from time to time, within ten (10) business days after written request therefor execute and return to Landlord (or such .other party designated by Landlord) an SNDA on such future Landlord's Mortgagee's form, in recordable form if required, subject to such reasonable modifications as a Landlord's Mortgagee and Tenant may reasonably request and subsequently agree to evidence the subordination to, and non-disturbance of this Lease (the "Mortgagee Form"). If Landlord's Mortgagee and Tenant cannot agree on the Mortgagee Form within such ten (10) business day period, the SNDA shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto (the "Prescribed Form"), subject to (i) changes which are necessary to conform such SNDA to the actual facts and state of affairs of the Lease, and (ii) if all of the Landlord's initial construction obligations under Exhibit D and I of this Lease are complete, then the removal of all applicable terms within the Prescribed Form attached as Exhibit M relating to the construction of improvements (including without limitation the LlC (as defined therein)), and ensuring that, regardless of actions or defaults by Landlord.or any other party and . exercise of remedies by such current or future Mortgage holder, provided that no Event of Default exist under this Lease, Tenant shall continue to enjoy all rights and privileges conveyed in this Lease and shall not have its tenancy disturbed. Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after Landlord's request therefor, execute and deliver such Prescribed Form, and if Tenant fails timely to do so, the same shall constitute an immediate Event of Default and this Lease shall automatically be deemed to be subordinate to such Mortgage.
(2) If Landlord's Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, the Mortgagee Form shall contain such protections of Landlord's Mortgagee and Tenant as are customary for a Lease of this size, scope and importance. Landlord's Mortgagee shall have no liability or responsibility under or pursuant to the terms of this Lease or otherwise after it ceases to own an interest in the Complex. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed to require Landlord's Mortgagee to see to the application of the proceeds of any loan, and Tenant's agreements, rights and benefits set forth herein shall not be impaired on account of any modification of the documents evidencing and securing any loan.
13. Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Complex which are attached hereto as Exhibit C. Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably change such rules and regulations for the safety, care, or cleanliness of the Complex and related facilities, provided that such changes are applicable to all tenants of the Complex, will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises and are enforced by Landlord in non-discriminatory manner. Tenant shall be responsible for the compliance with such rules and regulations by each Tenant Party. In the event of any conflict between the rules and regulations attached hereto as Exhibit C and this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall control.
14. Condemnation.
(a) Total Taking. If the entirety of one Building or the entirety of the Building 1 Premises or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, are taken by right of eminent domain or conveyed in lieu thereof (a "Taking"), this Lease with respect to the Building, Building 1 Premises or Building 2 Premises, as applicable, shall terminate as of the date of the Taking.
(b) Partial Taking -Tenant's Rights. If any part of the Buildings leased by Tenant under this Lease becomes subject to a Taking and such Taking will prevent Tenant from conducting on a permanent basis its business in the Premises in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Taking, then Tenant may terminate this Lease with respect to such Building only as of the date of such Taking by giving written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the Taking, and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease with respect to such Building only, then Rent shall be abated on a reasonable basis as to that portion of the Premises within the applicable Building rendered untenantable by the Taking.
(c) Partial Taking -Landlord's Rights. If any material portion, but less than all, of the Building 1 Premises or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, becomes subject to a Taking, or if Landlord is required to pay any of the proceeds arising from a Taking to a Landlord's Mortgagee, then Landlord may terminate
21
this Lease by delivering written notice thereof t6 Tenant within thirty (30) days after such Taking, and Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such Taking. If Landlord does not so terminate this Lease, then this Lease will continue, but if any portion of the Premises has been taken, Rent shall xxxxx as provided in the last sentence of Section l4(b) .
(d) Temporary Taking. If all or any portion of the Building 1 Premises or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, becomes subject to a Taking for a limited period of time, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall continue to perform all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease, including the payment of Basic Rent and all other amounts required hereunder. If any such temporary Taking terminates prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall restore the Building 1 Premises or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, as nearly as possible to the condition prior to such temporary Taking, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award for any such temporary Taking, except that Tenant shall be entitled to receive the portion of such award which (1) compensates Tenant for its loss of use of the Premises (or applicable portion thereof) within the Term and (2) reimburses Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Tenant to restore the Premises as required by this Section.
(e) Award. If any Taking occurs, then Landlord shall receive the entire award or other compensation for the Land, the Buildings, and other improvements taken; however, Tenant may separately pursue a claim (to the extent it will not reduce Landlord's award) against the condemnor for the value of Tenant's personal property which Tenant is entitled to remove under this Lease, moving costs, loss of business, and other claims it may have.
(f) Clarification. For the purposes of clarification, in the event of any Taking which affects Building 1 but not Building 2 (or vice versa), the provisions of this Section 14 shall apply only to the portion of the Building 1 Premises (or Building 2 Premises, as applicable) affected by such Taking and the Lease with respect to the unaffected portion of the Premises shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
15. Fire or Other Casualty.
(a) Repair Estimate. If the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, or a Building (in which the Tenant is leasing space) is damaged by fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Landlord shall, within ninety (90) days after such Casualty, deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate (the "Damage Notice") of the time needed to repair the damage caused by such Casualty.
(b) Tenant's Rights. If a material portion of the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, is damaged by Casualty such that Tenant reasonably determines. that it cannot reasonably conduct its business in the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, in a manner reasonably comparable to that conducted immediately before such Casualty and Landlord reasonably estimates that the damage caused thereby cannot be repaired within 270 days after the date of the Casualty (the ''Repair Period"), then Tenant may terminate this Lease with respect to Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, by delivering written notice to Landlord of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant.
(c) Landlord's Rights. If a Casualty damages the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, or a material portion of a Building (in which Tenant is leasing space) and (1) Landlord reasonably estimates that the damage to the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises; as applicable, cannot be repaired within the Repair Period, (2) the damage to the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost thereof (excluding foundations and footings), as reasonably estimated by Landlord, and such damage occurs during the last two years of the Term, (3) regardless of the extent of damage to the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, the damage is not fully covered by Landlord's insurance policies (or by the insurance Landlord is required to maintain pursuant to the provisions of this Lease), without regard to any deductible, or (4) Landlord is required to pay any insurance proceeds arising out of the Casualty to a Landlord's Mortgagee, then, for items (1) and (2) only, Landlord may terminate this Lease with respect to the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, by giving written notice of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant, and, for items (3) and (4) only, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease with respect to the Building
22
1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, by giving written notice of its election to terminate within thirty (30) days after the Damage Notice has been delivered to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing termss of this Section 15(c), if Tenant timely terminates this Lease pursuant to the terms of part (3) or (4) of the preceding sentence, but Landlord, within thirty (30) days after Tenant's written notice of termination, provides reasonable evidence of capital or funds necessary (along with any applicable insurance proceeds) to repair or restore the Premises (or applicable part thereof), then Tenant's notice to terminate this Lease will be void and of no further force and effect and this Lease will continue in full force and effect as if it was not terminated. If Tenant has the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to part (3) or (4) of the fIrst sentence of this Section 15(c) but does not exercise such termination right within such thirty (30) day period after delivery of the Damage Notice, then Tenant's right to terminate shall automatically expire and be of no further force or effect. If pursuant to this Section 15(c) Landlord or Tenant shall terminate with respect to either Building 1 or Building 2, Tenant shall have the option to terminate for the other Building, which option shall be exercised within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord's notice of termination, and if Tenant fails to exercise such right within such thirty (30) day period, such termination right shall automatically lapse and be of no further force or effect.
(d) Repair Obligation. If neither party elects to terminate this Lease with respect to the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, following a Casualty, then Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after such Casualty, begin to repair the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, to substantially the same condition as they existed immediately before such Casualty; however, Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any alterations or betterments within the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable (which shall be promptly and with due diligence repaired and restored by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense), or any furniture, equipment, trade fIxtures or personal property of Tenant or others in the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, or Building 1 and/or Building 2, as applicable, and Landlord's obligation to repair or restore the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, shall be limited to Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, to the extent of the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord for the Casualty in question. If this Lease with respect to the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, is terminated under the provisions of this Section 15, Landlord shall be entitled to the full proceeds of the Landlord's insurance policies providing coverage for all alterations, improvements and betterments in the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable (but not the insurance that Tenant acquires for the Building(s)).
(e) Abatement of Rent. If the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, are damaged by Casualty, Rent for the portion of the Building 1 Premises and/or the Building 2 Premises, as applicable, rendered untenantable by the damage shall be abated on a reasonable basis from the date of damage until the completion of Landlord's repairs (or until the date of termination of this Lease by Landlord or Tenant as provided above, as the case may be), unless such damage was caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or a Tenant Party, in which case, Tenant shall continue to pay Rent without abatement.
(f) Clarification. For the purposes of clarifIcation, in the event of any Casualty which affects Building 1 but not Building 2 (or vice versa), the provisions of this Section 15 shall apply only to the portion of the Building 1 Premises (or Building 2 Premises, as applicable) affected by such Casualty and the Lease with respect to the unaffected portion of the Premises shall remain unmodifIed and in full force and effect, except as expressly provided in this Section 15.
16. Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture, or futures placed by Tenant in the Premises or in or on the Buildings or Complex. If any taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord's property and Landlord elects to pay the same, or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of such personal property, furniture or fIxtures and Landlord elects to pay the taxes based on such increase, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days following written request, the part of such taxes for which Tenant is primarily liable hereunder; however, Landlord shall not pay such amount if Tenant notifIes Landlord that it will contest the validity or amount of such taxes before Landlord makes such payment, and thereafter diligently proceeds with such contest in accordance with Law and if the non-payment thereof does not pose a threat of loss or seizure of the Complex or interest of Landlord therein or impose any fee or penalty against Landlord.
23
17. Events of Default. Each of the following occurrences shall be an "Event of Default":
(a) Payment Default. Tenant's failure to pay Rent within five (5) business days after Landlord has delivered written notice to Tenant that the same is due; however, an Event of Default shall occur hereunder without any obligation of Landlord to give any notice if Tenant fails to pay Rent when due and, during the 12-month interval preceding such failure, Landlord half given Tenant one (1) written notice of failure to pay Rent;
(b) Abandonment. Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises and fails to provide reasonable access control therefor;
(c) Estoppel. Tenant fails to provide any estoppel certificate after Landlord's written request therefor pursuant to Section 25(e) and such· failure shall continue for five (5) business days after Landlord's second written notice there of to Tenant;

(f) Other Defaults. Tenant's failure to perform, comply with, or observe any other agreement or obligation: of Tenant under this Lease and the continuance of such failure for a period of more than thirty (30) days after Landlord has delivered to Tenant written notice thereof; provided, however, if such default is not reasonably curable within such thirty (30) day period, then provided Tenant actually commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter proceeds diligently to cure the same, Tenant shall have an additional period of time reasonably necessary to effectuate such cure, but in no event will Tenant have more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate (from the date of the first notice) to effectuate such cure; and
(g) Insolvency. The filing of a petition by or against Tenant (the term "Tenant" shall include; for the purpose of this Section 17(g), any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder) (1) in any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding; (2) seeking any relief under any state or federal debtor relief law; (3) for the appointment of a liquidator or receiver for all or substantially all of Tenant's property or for Tenant's interest in this Lease; (4}for the reorganization or modification of Tenant's capital structure; or (5) in any assignment for the benefit of creditors proceeding; however, if such a petition is filed against Tenant, then such filing shall not be an Event of Default unless Tenant fails to have the proceedings initiated by such petition dismissed within. ninety (90) days after the filing thereof.
18. Remedies. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord may, in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded Landlord hereunder· or by law or equity, take anyone or more of the following actions:
(a) Termination of Lease. Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant written notice thereof, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of (1) all Rent accrued hereunder through the date of termination,
(2) all amounts due under Section 19(a), and (3) an amount equal to (A) the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for the remainder of the Term discounted to present value at a per annum rate equal to the "Prime Rate" as published on the date this Lease is terminated by The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in its listing of "Money Rates", minus (B) the then present fair rental value of the Premises for such period, similarly discounted;
(b) Termination of Possession. Terminate Tenant's right to possess the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving written notice thereof to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall pay to Landlord (1) all Rent and other amounts accrued hereunder to the date of termination of possession, (2) all amounts due from time to time under Section 19(a), and (3) all Rent and other net sums required hereunder to be paid by Tenant during the remainder of the Term,. diminished by any net sums thereafter received by Landlord through reletting the Premises during such period, after deducting all costs incurred by Landlord in reletting the Premises. If Landlord elects to
24
proceed under this Section l8(b), Landlord may remove all of Tenant's property from the Premises and store the same in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and for the account of, Tenant, without becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on such terms as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine (including a term different from the Term, rental concessions, and alterations to, and improvement of, the Premises); however, Landlord shall not be obligated to relet the Premises before leasing other portions of the Building or Complex and Landlord shall not be obligated to accept any prospective tenant proposed by Tenant unless such proposed tenant meets all of Landlord's leasing criteria. Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord's failure to relet the Premises or to collect rent due for such reletting. Tenant shall not be entitled to the excess of any consideration obtained by reletting over the Rent due hereunder. Reentry by Landlord in the Premises shall not affect Tenant's obligations hereunder for the unexpired Term; rather, Landlord may, from time to time, bring an action against Tenant to collect amounts due by Tenant, without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until the expiration of the Term. Unless Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant expressly stating that it has elected to terminate this Lease, all actions taken by Landlord to dispossess or exclude Tenant from the Premises shall be deemed to be taken under this Section l8(b). If Landlord elects to proceed under this Section l8(b), it may at any time elect to terminate this Lease under Section l8(a); or
(c) Perform Acts on Behalf of Tenant. Perform any act Tenant is obligated to perform under the terns of this Lease (and enter upon the Premises in connection therewith if necessary) in Tenant's name and on Tenant's behalf, without being liable for any claim for damages therefor, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in thus effecting compliance with Tenant's obligations under this Lease (including, but not limited to, collection costs and legal expenses), plus interest thereon at the Default Rate. In all instances, Landlord shall use commercial reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages.
19. Payment by Tenant; Non-Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
(a) Payment by Tenant. Upon any Event of Default, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all·reasonable costs incurred by Landlord (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in (1) obtaining possession of the Premises, (2) removing and storing Tenant's or any other occupant's property, (3) repairing, restoring, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant, (4) if Tenant is dispossessed of the Premises and this Lease is not terminated, reletting all or any part· of the Premises (including brokerage commissions, cost of tenant finish work, and other costs incidental to such reletting), (5) performing Tenant's obligations which Tenant failed to perform, and (6) .enforcing, or advising Landlord of, its rights, remedies, and recourses arising out of the default. To the full extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant agree the federal and state courts of the state in which the Premises are located shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any matter relating to or arising from this Lease and the parties' rights and obligations under this Lease.
(b) No Waiver. Landlord's acceptance of Rent following an Event of Default shall not waive Landlord's rights regarding such Event of Default. No waiver by Landlord of any violation or breach of any of the terms contained herein shall waive Landlord's rights regarding any future violation of such term. Landlord's acceptance of any partial payment of Rent shall not waive Landlord's rights with regard to the remaining portion of the Rent that is due, regardless of any endorsement or other statement on· any instrument delivered in payment of Rent or any writing delivered in connection therewith; accordingly, Landlord's acceptance of a partial payment of Rent shall not constitute an accord and satisfaction of the full amount of the Rent that is due.
(c) Tenant's Right to Redeem the Premises. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights to redeem the Premises which may accrue to Tenant prior to any eviction proceeding. Tenant's waiver shall apply to any right of redemption that may be presently, or in the future, provided by law. .
(d) Cumulative Remedies. Any and all remedies set forth in this Lease: (1) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies Landlord may have at law and/or in equity, (2) shall be cumulative, and (3) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in the future.
25
20.Landlord's Lien. Landlord· hereby forever waives all liens, security interests, encumbrances, and rights of distraint that do or may arise under or in connection with this Lease, whether by statute, contract, common law or otherwise.
21.Surrender of Premises. No act by Landlord shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord. At the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Premises with all improvements located therein in good condition, free of Hazardous Materials placed on .the Premises during the Term in violation of Laws, broom-clean, reasonable wear and tear (and condemnation and Casualty damage, as to which Sections 14 and 15 shall control) excepted, and shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Premises. Tenant may remove all trade fIXtures, furniture, and personal property placed in the Premises or elsewhere in the Buildings by Tenant (but Tenant may not remove any wiring or cabling unless Landlord requires such removal). Additionally, Tenant shall remove such alterations, additions, improvements, trade fixtures, personal property, equipment, wiring, conduits, cabling, and furniture (including Tenant's Off-Premises Equipment) as Landlord designated in writing for removal as part of or in connection with Landlord's approval of any applicable plans (including, without limitation, Tenant's Working Drawings, as set forth in Exhibit D and/or Exhibit J attached hereto (but Landlord shall not unreasonably require removal of customary office fIXtures and improvements)); however, Tenant shall not be required to remove any additions, fIXtures or improvements to the Premises or the Complex if Landlord has not specifically elected in writing that the improvement or addition in question needs to be removed. Tenant shall repair all damage caused by such removal. All items not so removed shall, at Landlord's option, be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and may be appropriated,sold, stored, destroyed, or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without any obligation to account for such items; any such disposition shall not be considered a strict foreclosure or other exercise of Landlord's rights in respect of the security interest granted under Section 20. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the end of the Term.
22. Holding Over.
(a) Holdover Remedies. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises at the end of the Term, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance and, in addition to all other damages and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled for such holding over, (a) Tenant shall pay, in addition to the other Rent, Basic Rent equal to 150% of the Rent payable during the last month of the Term, and (b) Tenant shall otherwise continue to be subject to all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 22(a) shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.
(b) Seventy-Five Percent of Initial Premises. If, and only if, Tenant is leasing more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the entire initial Premises (based on a per rentable square foot basis), and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises at the end of the Term, Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance and, in addition to all other damages and remedies to which Landlord may be entitled for such holding over, then during the first three (3) calendar month period of such holdover (and only during such first three (3) calendar month period), as Landlord's sole and exclusive remedy, (a) Tenant shall pay Basic Rent and Additional Rent in the amounts payable immediately prior to the end of the Term, and (b) Tenant shall otherwise continue to be subject to all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 22(b) (other than the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence) shall not be deemed to limit or constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies of Landlord provided herein or at law. Except for the first sentence of this Section 22(b), for the first three (3) calendar month period of a holdover, if Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination or expiration of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys' fees) and liability resulting from such failure, ... including any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom. For the avoidance of confusion, if Tenant is leasing more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the entire initial Premises (based on a per rentable square foot basis), and Tenant fails to vacate the Premises at the end of such first three (3) calendar month period of a holdover, the provisions of this Section 22(b) shall no longer be applicable and the provisions of Section 22(a) shall automatically apply.
26
23. Certain Rights Reserved by Landlord. Provided that the exercise of such rights does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's occupancy, access, rights, benefits or privileges of, to or from the Premises, Landlord shall have the following rights:
(a) Building Operations. To decorate and to make inspections, repairs, alterations, additions, changes, or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Complex, or any part thereof; to enter upon the Premises (after giving Tenant reasonable notice thereof, which Landlord will endeavor to provide at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance and may be oral, except in cases of real or apparent emergency, in which case no notice shall be required) and, during the continuance of any such work, to temporarily close doors, entryways, public space, and corridors in the Buildings; to interrupt or temporarily suspend services and facilities in and around the Buildings; to change the name of the Buildings or Complex; and to change the arrangement and location of entrances or passageways, doors, and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, restrooms, or other public parts of the Buildings or Complex;

25. Miscellaneous.
(a) Landlord Transfer. Landlord may transfer any portion of the Complex and any of its rights under this Lease. If Landlord assigns its rights under this Lease, then Landlord shall thereby be released from any further obligations hereunder arising after the date of transfer, provided that the assignee assumes in writing in writing Landlord's obligations hereunder arising from and after the transfer date. In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that (i) as of the date of this Lease the Buildings and SecondarY Buildings are all owned by Landlord, and (ii) some or any of the Buildings or Secondary Buildings may be on separately subdivided lots.

Landlord shall obtain all governmental permits and approvals relating to the performance of the Work. Landlord shall obtain a certificate of occupancy (or similar certification) for the Building 1 Premises prior to Tenant's occupancy of the Building I Premises, provided that such certification may be temporary in nature. .
5. Change Orders. Tenant may initiate changes in the Work. Each such change must receive the prior written approval of Landlord, such approval to be governed by the standards set forth in Section 3(c) above; however, if such requested change would materially adversely affect (1) Building 1's structure or Building 1's systems (including Building I 's restrooms or mechanical rooms), (2) the exterior appearance of Building 1, or (3) the appearance of Building 1's common areas or elevator lobby areas, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant requests any changes to the Work described in the Space Plans or the Working Drawings, then such increased costs and any additional design costs incurred in connection therewith as the result of any such change shall be added to the Total Construction Costs. Regardless of whether approved by Landlord, any change orders initiated by or on behalf of Tenant that cause a delay in the completion of the Work, will be a Tenant Delay; provided, however, at Tenant's written request, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide an estimate of any delays or additional costs associated with a requested change and Tenant shall have three
(3) business days (which three (3) business days shall not be a Tenant Delay) to specify whether it will elect to make such change or rescind such request (and if Tenant fails to specify the same prior to the expiration of such three (3) business day period Tenant will be deemed to have elected to have rescinded the request for such change).

Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 6, Substantial Completion of the Work in the Building 1 Premises shall have occurred even though minor details of construction, decoration, landscaping and mechanical adjustments remain to be completed by Landlord, provided that the same do not materially interfere with Tenant's business operations. For the purpose of determining solely whether any of the Building 1 FF&E Condition, the Building 1 Data Center Space, and/or the Building 2 Lab Space, have achieved "Substantial Completion," the same will deemed to have occurred when the same is substantially completed in substantial accordance with the Working Drawings therefor, and either (as selected by Landlord) Landlord's architect or Tenant's architect shall have certified the same on a standard form AlA form 704 certificate or similar certification. If Landlord elects for Tenant's architect to make any such certification of substantial completion as aforesaid, then Tenant agrees to cause its architect to reasonably provide the same.

Upon approval of the Working Drawings and the selection of the Agent at Risk, Tenant and Landlord shall work in good faith to agree to and to·execute a work order agreement reasonably prepared by Landlord which identifies such drawings and itemizes the Total Construction Costs and sets forth the Construction Allowance.

After the entire Construction Allowance has been disbursed, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 100% of the amount by which Total Construction Costs exceed the Construction Allowance from time to time upon Landlord's request therefor (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after each such request). No later than thirty (30) days after Substantial Completion of the Work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the Total Construction Costs (adjusted as provided herein for any approved changes to the Work), less (1) the amount of the advance payment already made by Tenant, and (2) the amount of the Construction Allowance, provided that Landlord has delivered reasonable back-up (e.g., invoices) for the same, as well as copies of final lien waivers from the major contractors related to the same. In the event of default of payment of such excess costs, Landlord (in addition to all other remedies) shall have the same rights as for an Event of Default under this Lease.
9. Construction Allowance. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance of Seventy Dollars ($70.00) per rentable square foot in the Building 1 Premises (the "Construction Allowance") to be applied toward the Total Construction Costs, adjusted as provided herein for any changes to the Work. The Construction Allowance shall not be disbursed to Tenant in cash, but shall be disbursed by Landlord to pay the Total Construction Costs, if, as, and when the cost of the Work is actually incurred. Landlord shall disburse within thirty (30) days following receipt of a disbursement request (which requests shall not be made more frequently than once per calendar month), and if such request and all applicable supporting material is made by the fifth (5th) day of a calendar month, Landlord shall endeavor to make the applicable disbursement prior to the end of such calendar month. No less than eighty percent (80%) of the Construction Allowance must be applied toward the expenses (both hard and soft costs) incurred by Tenant for the construction of improvements to the interior of Tenant's leased Premises. Provided Landlord has completed the Work, if, at first anniversary of the date of this Lease, the entire Construction Allowance has not been used as set forth in this Section, the remaining amount automatically shall be applied by Landlord to Tenant's then-current Rent obligations. In addition, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a design layout allowance not to exceed Ten Cents ($0.10) per rentable square foot in the Building 1 Premises (and not the Building 2 Premises) (the "Design Allowance") to be applied toward the costs of designing a layout for two (2) floors (one (1) typical floor plan layout and one (1) specialty or executive layout» of the Building 1 Premises. Tenant may begin drawing funds up to an aggregate amount of Four Dollars ($4.00) per rentable square foot in the Building 1 Premises from the Construction Allowance following the date of this Lease to pay for costs incurred by Tenant for space planning, design and legal services. Tenant shall furnish a written requisition for any portion of the Construction Allowance that is to be applied toward such expenses, which requisition shall be accompanied by appropriate invoices and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by Landlord.

10. Agent Supervision. Landlord shall engage a third party (the "Agent CM") to supervise the Work, make disbursements required to be made to the Agent at Risk, and act as a liaison between the Agent at Risk and Landlord and coordinate the relationship between the Work, the Buildings and the Buildings' Systems. The Agent CM shall receive a fee for its construction supervision services equal to three percent (3.00%) of all hard and soft construction costs related to the Work (excluding· any work performed solely by Tenant or personal property installed by Tenant for which Landlord has no supervisory or delivery responsibility hereunder or under the Lease) (the "Agent CM Fee"), which amount may, at Tenant's election, either be paid from the Construction Allowance or by the Tenant as set forth herein, provided that all such payments, whether from the Construction Allowance or from the Tenant shall, at Landlord's option be paid directly to the Agent CM and/or to the Landlord (for delivery to the Agent CM). Concurrently with each disbursement of the Construction Allowance from time to time, an amount equal to 3% of such disbursement shall be drawn from the Construction Allowance to fund the Agent CM Fee. After the entire Construction Allowance has been disbursed, Tenant shall pay all remaining portions of the Agent CM Fee from time to time upon Landlord's request therefor (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after each such request). Landlord's approval of any of the Space Plans, Working Drawings, and/or Work, as applicable, shall not constitute an implication, representation or certification that such work is in accordance with any statues, codes, ordinances or other regulations, the compliance with which is the responsibility of Tenant and its Architect and contractors.
11. Construction Representatives. Landlord's and Tenant's representatives ("Authorized Representatives") for coordination of construction and approval of change orders will be as follows, provided that either party may change its representative upon written notice to the other:

The Lease Agreement, together with all subsequent renewals, extensions and modifications of the Lease Agreement which are made in accordance with the terms hereof, are hereinafter collectively called the "Lease."

2.Subordination. Tenant covenants and agrees with the Agent that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to the Premises and any other interest of Tenant in the Land and any improvements thereon are and shall be subject, subordinate and inferior to (a) the lien and security interests of the Mortgage and all renewals, increases, replacements, extensions or modifications thereof and all other security instruments securing payment of any indebtedness of Borrower secured by the Mortgage, including any future advances made with respect to the Land and/or any improvements thereon, and (b) all right, title and interest of the Agent in the Land and the improvements thereon, including without limitation the Premises, pursuant to the Agent's enforcement of the lien and security interest of the Mortgage and/or any lien or security interest of any other security instruments securing payment of any indebtedness of Borrower secured by the Mortgage.
