THIS INDENTURE OF LEASE (this “Lease”) is hereby made and entered into on the Execution Date by and between Landlord and Tenant.

Each reference in this Lease to any of the terms and titles contained in any Exhibit attached to this Lease shall be deemed and construed to incorporate the data stated under that term or title in such Exhibit. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them as set forth in the Lease Summary Sheet which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.


1.	LEASE GRANT; TERM; APPURTENANT RIGHTS; EXCLUSIONS

1.1 Lease Grant. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises upon and subject to terms and conditions of this Lease, for a term of years commencing on the Term Commencement Date and, unless earlier terminated or extended pursuant to the terms hereof, ending on the Expiration Date (the “Initial Term”; the Initial Term and any duly exercised Extension Terms are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Term”).


1.2	Extension Terms.

(a) Provided that the following conditions, which may be waived by Landlord in its sole discretion, are satisfied (i) Tenant, an Affiliated Entity (hereinafter defined) and/or a Successor (hereinafter defined) are then occupying at least sixty percent (60%) of the Premises; and (ii) no Event of Default then exists (1) as of the date of the Extension Notice (hereinafter defined), and (2) at the commencement of the applicable Extension Term (hereinafter defined), Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term for two (2) additional terms of five (5) years each (each, an “Extension Term”), commencing as of the expiration of the Initial Term, or the prior Extension Term, as the case may be. Tenant must exercise such option to extend, if at all, by giving Landlord written notice (each, an “Extension Notice”) on or before the date that is twelve (12) months’ prior to the expiration of the then-current term of this Lease, time being of the essence. Upon the timely giving of such notice, the Term shall be deemed extended for the applicable Extension Term upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent during each Extension Term shall be calculated in accordance with this Section 1.2, Landlord shall have no obligation to construct or renovate the Premises, and Tenant shall have one (1) fewer option (in the case of the first Extension Term), or no further right (in the case of the second Extension Term), to extend the Term. If Tenant fails to give timely notice, as aforesaid, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term. Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant's proper and timely exercise of such option to extend the Term shall be self executing, the parties shall promptly execute a lease amendment reflecting such Extension Term after Tenant exercises such option. The execution of such lease amendment shall not be deemed to waive any of the conditions to Tenant's exercise of its rights under this Section 1.2.

(b) The Base Rent during each Extension Term (the “Extension Term Base Rent”) shall be determined in accordance with the process described hereafter. Extension Term Base Rent shall be the greater of (i) Base Rent for the last Rent Year of the prior Term, or (ii) the fair market rental value of the Premises then demised to Tenant as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Term as determined in accordance with the process described below, for renewals of first class combination laboratory and office space in the Route 128/Route 2/Boston

Suburban West real estate market (the “Market Area”) of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, with the length of the Extension Term, the credit standing of Tenant, and all other relevant factors to be taken into account. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Extension Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of its determination of the Extension Term Base Rent for the applicable Extension Term. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent (“Tenant’s Response Notice”). If Tenant fails timely to deliver Xxxxxx’s Response Notice, Xxxxxxxx’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent shall be binding on Tenant.

(c) If and only if Tenant’s Response Notice is timely delivered to Landlord and indicates both that Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of the Extension Term Base Rent and desires to submit the matter to arbitration, then the Extension Term Base Rent shall be determined in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Section 1.2(c). In such event, within ten (10) days after receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s Response Notice indicating Xxxxxx’s desire to submit the determination of the Extension Term Base Rent to arbitration, Tenant and Landlord shall each notify the other, in writing, of their respective selections of an appraiser (respectively, “Landlord’s Appraiser” and “Tenant’s Appraiser”). Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser shall then jointly select a third appraiser (the “Third Appraiser”) within ten (10) days of their appointment. All of the appraisers selected shall be individuals with at least five (5) consecutive years’ commercial appraisal experience for office and laboratory space in the area in which the Premises are located, shall be members of the Appraisal Institute (M.A.I.), and, in the case of the Third Appraiser, shall not have acted in any capacity for either Landlord or Tenant within five (5) years of his or her selection. The three appraisers shall determine the Extension Term Base Rent in accordance with the requirements and criteria set forth in Section 1.2(b) above, employing the method commonly known as Baseball Arbitration, whereby Landlord’s Appraiser and Tenant’s Appraiser each sets forth its determination of the Extension Term Base Rent as defined above, and the Third Appraiser must select one or the other (it being understood that the Third Appraiser shall be expressly prohibited from selecting a compromise figure). Landlord’s Appraiser and Xxxxxx’s Appraiser shall deliver their determinations of the Extension Term Base Rent to the Third Appraiser within five (5) days of the appointment of the Third Appraiser and the Third Appraiser shall render his or her decision within ten (10) days after receipt of both of the other two determinations of the Extension Term Base Rent. The Third Appraiser’s decision shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall bear the cost of its own appraiser and the cost of the Third Appraiser shall be paid by the party whose determination is not selected.

(v) In addition to and without limiting Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, Tenant shall comply with all applicable environmental and fire prevention laws, ordinances and regulations in Tenant’s use of Tenant’s Generator Area.

(vi) In addition to and without limiting Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that Xxxxxx’s use of Tenant’s Generator and Installations shall not adversely affect the insurance coverage for the Building.

(vii) Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, repair and maintain Tenant’s Generator and Installations.

(viii) In addition to and without limiting the insurance provisions of the Lease, Tenant shall procure, keep in force and pay for Commercial General Liability Insurance in respect of Tenant’s Generator Area satisfying the requirements of Section 14.1 of the Lease.

(d) Penthouse Equipment Premises. During the Term, Tenant shall have the right to use a portion of the Penthouse of the Building designated by Landlord (the “Penthouse Equipment Premises”), as shown on Exhibit 1D, for the installation of certain equipment approved by Landlord and purchased and installed by Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease (any equipment installed within the Penthouse Equipment Premises, as the same may be modified, altered or replaced during the Term, is collectively referred to herein as “Tenant’s Penthouse Equipment”), including, without limitation, Section 11 hereof. Landlord’s approval of such equipment shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided Tenant demonstrates to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that the proposed equipment (i) does not interfere with any base building equipment operated by Landlord in the Penthouse; (ii) will not affect the structural integrity of the Building or impact the roof or the roof membrane in any manner; and (iii) shall be adequately sound-proofed to meet all requirements of Legal Requirements and Landlord’s reasonable specified maximum decibel levels for equipment operations that is communicated to Tenant in advance of the installation of Tenant’s Penthouse Equipment.

Landlord shall have the right, from time to time by written notice to Tenant, to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations with respect to the operation of the vivarium so as to minimize any adverse effects that such operation may have on other occupants of the Building, including without limitation, regulations as to noise mitigation.


5.	RENT; ADDITIONAL RENT

5.1 Base Rent. During the Term, commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Base Rent in equal monthly installments, in advance and without demand on the first day of each month for and with respect to such month. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the payment of additional rent and other charges reserved and covenanted to be paid under this Lease with respect to the Premises (other than Base Rent) shall commence on the Term Commencement Date. Base Rent and additional rent hereunder (collectively, “Rent”) shall be prorated for any partial months. Rent shall be payable to Landlord or, if Landlord shall so direct in writing, to Landlord’s agent or nominee, in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender for payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment.


5.2	Operating Costs.

(a) “Operating Costs” shall mean all reasonable and verifiable costs incurred and expenditures of whatever nature made by Landlord in the operation, management, repair, replacement, maintenance and insurance of the Property or allocated to the Property, including without limitation all costs of labor (wages, salaries, fringe benefits, etc.) of individuals directly employed in the management/operation of the Property up to and including the Director of Property Management, however denominated, any costs for utilities supplied to exterior areas and the Common Areas, and any costs for repair and replacements, cleaning and maintenance of exterior areas and the Common Areas, related equipment, facilities and appurtenances and HVAC equipment, a management fee in the amount of four percent (4%) of gross Building revenues paid to Landlord’s property manager (if not included in labor costs), the costs, including, without limitation, a commercially reasonable rental factor, of Landlord’s management office for the Property, which management office may be located outside the Property and which may serve other properties in addition to the Property (in which event such costs shall be equitably allocated among the properties served by such office), the cost of operating any amenities in the Property available to all tenants of the Property and any subsidy provided by Landlord for or with respect to any such amenity, and all costs of applying and reporting for the Building or any part thereof to seek or maintain certification under the U.S. EPA’s Energy Star® rating system, the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system or a similar system or standard. For costs and expenditures made by Landlord in connection with the operation, management, repair, replacement, maintenance and insurance of the Building as a whole, Landlord shall make a reasonable allocation thereof between the retail and non-retail portions of the Building, if applicable. The allocation of Operating Costs relating to the Common Areas of the Campus shall be made in accordance with the Condominium Documents. Operating Costs shall not include Excluded Costs (hereinafter defined).

(b) “Excluded Costs” shall be defined as (i) any mortgage charges (including interest, principal, points and fees); (ii) brokerage commissions; (iii) salaries of executives and owners not directly employed in the management/operation of the Property; (iv) the cost of work done by Landlord for a particular tenant; (v) the cost of items which, by generally accepted accounting principles, would be capitalized on the books of Landlord or are otherwise not properly chargeable against income, except to the extent such capital item is (A) required by any Legal Requirements or (B) reasonably projected to materially reduce Operating Costs; if such capital expenditures arise, the cost shall be amortized over the useful life of the applicable item, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as consistently applied in the real estate industry; (vi) the costs of Landlord’s Work and any contributions made by Landlord to any tenant of the Property in connection with the build-out of its premises; (vii) franchise or income taxes imposed on Landlord; (viii) costs paid directly by individual tenants to suppliers or directly to Landlord, including tenant HVAC, electricity, telephone and other utility costs; (ix) increases in premiums for insurance when such increase is caused by the use of the Building by Landlord or any other tenant of the Building; (x) depreciation of the Building; (xi) costs relating to maintaining Landlord’s existence as a corporation, partnership or other entity;

(xii) advertising and other fees and costs incurred in procuring tenants; (xiii) the cost of any items for which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance, condemnation awards, refund, rebate or otherwise, and any expenses for repairs or maintenance to the extent covered by warranties, guaranties and service contracts; and (xiv) costs incurred in connection with any disputes between Landlord and its employees, between Landlord and Building management, or between Landlord and other tenants or occupants; (xv) Taxes; (xvi) except with respect to the management fee, any expenses

paid to Landlord or subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for goods and/or services in or to any portion of the Building to the extent that such expense exceeds the costs of such goods and/or services rendered by unaffiliated third parties on an arm’s length, competitive basis; (xvii) costs related to events for the Building tenants including, but not limited to parties, holiday gifts and tenants welcoming gifts; or (xviii) costs arising from Landlord’s charitable or political contributions.

(c) Payment of Operating Costs. Commencing as of the Term Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout the remainder of the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Xxxxxx’s Share of Operating Costs. Landlord may make a good faith estimate of Xxxxxx’s Share of Operating Costs for any fiscal year or part thereof during the Term, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the Term Commencement Date and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter, an amount equal to Xxxxxx’s Share of Operating Costs for such fiscal year and/or part thereof divided by the number of months therein. Landlord may estimate and re-estimate Xxxxxx’s Share of Operating Costs and deliver a copy of the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly installments of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the fiscal year in question, Tenant shall have paid all of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs as estimated by Xxxxxxxx. Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as herein provided when actual Operating Costs are available for each fiscal year. As of the Execution Date, the Property’s fiscal year is January 1 – December 31.

(d) Annual Reconciliation. Landlord shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, deliver to Tenant a reasonably detailed statement of the actual amount of Operating Costs for such fiscal year (“Year End Statement”). Failure of Landlord to provide the Year End Statement within the time prescribed shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations hereunder. If the total of such monthly remittances on account of any fiscal year is greater than Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs actually incurred for such fiscal year, then, provided no Event of Default has occurred nor any event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, Tenant may credit the difference against the next installment of additional rent on account of Operating Costs due hereunder, except that if such difference is determined after the end of the Term, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord. If the total of such remittances is less than Xxxxxx’s Share of Operating Costs actually incurred for such fiscal year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor. Xxxxxxxx’s estimate of Operating Costs for the next fiscal year shall be based upon the Operating Costs actually incurred for the prior fiscal year as reflected in the Year-End Statement plus a reasonable adjustment based upon estimated increases in Operating Costs. The provisions of this Section 5.2(d) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(e) Part Years. If the Term Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs in the middle of a fiscal year, Tenant shall be liable for only that portion of the Operating Costs with respect to such fiscal year within the Term from and after the Term Commencement Date.

(f) Gross-Up. If, during any fiscal year, less than 95% of the Building is occupied by tenants or if Landlord was not supplying all tenants with the services being supplied

to Tenant hereunder, actual Operating Costs incurred shall be reasonably extrapolated by Landlord on an item-by-item basis to the reasonable Operating Costs that would have been incurred if the Building was 95% occupied and such services were being supplied to all tenants, and such extrapolated Operating Costs shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to be the Operating Costs for such fiscal year. This “gross up” treatment shall be applied only with respect to variable Operating Costs arising from services provided to Common Areas or to space in the Building being occupied by tenants (which services are not provided to vacant space or may be provided only to some tenants) in order to allocate equitably such variable Operating Costs to the tenants receiving the benefits thereof.

(g) Audit Right. Provided there is no Event of Default nor any event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, Tenant may, upon at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice, inspect or audit Landlord’s records relating to Operating Costs for any periods of time within the previous fiscal year before the audit or inspection. However, no audit or inspection shall extend to periods of time before the Rent Commencement Date. If Tenant fails to object to the calculation of Xxxxxx’s Share of Operating Costs on the Year-End Statement within sixty (60) days after such statement has been delivered to Tenant and/or fails to complete any such audit or inspection within ninety (90) days after receipt of the Year End Statement, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to the calculation of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs for the year in question and the calculation thereof as set forth on such statement shall be final. Tenant’s audit or inspection shall be conducted only at Landlord’s offices or the offices of Landlord’s property manager during business hours reasonably designated by Landlord. Tenant shall pay the cost of such audit or inspection. Tenant may not conduct an inspection or have an audit performed more than once during any fiscal year. If such inspection or audit reveals that an error was made in the calculation of Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs previously charged to Tenant, then, provided there is no Event of Default nor an event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, Tenant may credit the difference against the next installment of additional rent on account of Operating Costs due hereunder, except that if such difference is determined after the end of the Term, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord. If such inspection or audit reveals an underpayment by Xxxxxx, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, any underpayment of any such costs, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor. Tenant shall maintain the results of any such audit or inspection confidential and shall not be permitted to use any third party to perform such audit or inspection, other than an independent firm of certified public accountants or a commercial real estate audit firm with at least ten (10) years of experience (A) reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (B) which is not compensated on a contingency fee basis or in any other manner which is dependent upon the results of such audit or inspection, and (C) which executes Landlord’s standard confidentiality agreement whereby it shall agree to maintain the results of such audit or inspection confidential. The provisions of this Section 5.2(g) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.


5.3	Taxes.

(a) “Taxes” shall mean the real estate taxes and other taxes, levies and assessments imposed upon the Unit of the Condominium in which the Building and the Land are

located (the “Unit”) and upon any personal property of Landlord used in the operation thereof, or on Landlord’s interest therein or such personal property; charges, fees and assessments for transit, housing, police, fire or other services or purported benefits to the Building and the Land (including without limitation any community preservation assessments); service or user payments in lieu of taxes; and any and all other taxes, levies, betterments, assessments and charges arising from the ownership, leasing, operation, use or occupancy of the Building and the Land or based upon rentals derived therefrom, which are or shall be imposed by federal, state, county, municipal or other governmental authorities. Taxes shall not include any inheritance, estate, succession, gift, franchise, rental, income or profit tax, capital stock tax, capital levy or excise, or any income taxes arising out of or related to the ownership and operation of the Unit, provided, however, that any of the same and any other tax, excise, fee, levy, charge or assessment, however described, that may in the future be levied or assessed as a substitute for or an addition to, in whole or in part, any tax, levy or assessment which would otherwise constitute Taxes, whether or not now customary or in the contemplation of the parties on the Execution Date of this Lease, shall constitute Taxes, but only to the extent calculated as if the Unit were the only real estate owned by Landlord. “Taxes” shall also include reasonable expenses (including without limitation legal and consultant fees) of tax abatement or other proceedings contesting assessments or levies.

Prior to the fiscal year in which the Unit has been created and assessed (the “Applicable Fiscal Year”), Landlord shall allocate Taxes which are incurred with respect to the Common Areas of the Campus on a reasonable basis. From and after substantial completion of any occupiable improvements constructed as part of a Future Development, if such improvements are not separately assessed, Landlord shall reasonably allocate Taxes between the Building and such improvements and the land area associated with the same. From and after the Applicable Fiscal Year, such allocation shall be effected based upon the Taxes payable by Landlord with respect to the unit in the Condominium in which the Property is located.

(b) “Tax Period” shall be any fiscal/tax period in respect of which Taxes are due and payable to the appropriate governmental taxing authority (i.e., as mandated by the governmental taxing authority), any portion of which period occurs during the Term of this Lease.

(c) Payment of Taxes. Commencing as of the Term Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout the remainder of the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Xxxxxx’s Share of Taxes. Landlord may make a good faith estimate of the Taxes to be due by Tenant for any Tax Period or part thereof during the Term, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on the Term Commencement Date and on the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter, an amount equal to Tenant’s Share of Taxes for such Tax Period or part thereof divided by the number of months therein. Landlord may estimate and re-estimate Xxxxxx’s Share of Taxes and deliver a copy of the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly installments of Tenant’s Share of Taxes shall be appropriately adjusted in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the Tax Period in question, Tenant shall have paid all of Tenant’s Share of Taxes as estimated by Xxxxxxxx. Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as herein provided when actual Taxes are available for each Tax Period. If the total of such monthly remittances is greater than Tenant’s Share of Taxes actually due for such Tax Period, then, provided no Event of Default has occurred nor any event which, with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default, Tenant may credit the difference against the next installment of additional rent on account of Taxes due hereunder, except

that if such difference is determined after the end of the Term, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord. If the total of such remittances is less than Tenant’s Share of Taxes actually due for such Tax Period, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, within ten (10) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor. Xxxxxxxx’s estimate for the next Tax Period shall be based upon actual Taxes for the prior Tax Period plus a reasonable adjustment based upon estimated increases in Taxes. The provisions of this Section 5.3(c) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(d) Effect of Abatements. Appropriate credit against Taxes shall be given for any refund obtained by reason of a reduction in any Taxes by the assessors or the administrative, judicial or other governmental agency responsible therefor after deduction of Landlord’s expenditures for reasonable legal fees and for other reasonable expenses incurred in obtaining the Tax refund.

(e) Part Years. If the Term Commencement Date or the Expiration Date occurs in the middle of a Tax Period, Tenant shall be liable for only that portion of the Taxes, as the case may be, with respect to such Tax Period within the Term from and after the Term Commencement Date.


5.4	Late Payments.

(a) Any payment of Rent due hereunder not paid when due shall bear interest for each month or fraction thereof from the due date until paid in full at the annual rate of twelve percent (12%), or at any applicable lesser maximum legally permissible rate for debts of this nature (the “Default Rate”).

(b) Additionally, if Tenant fails to make any payment within five (5) days after the due date therefor, Landlord may charge Tenant a fee, which shall constitute liquidated damages, equal to three (3%) of any such late payment; provided, however, Landlord shall waive the late fee once in any twelve-(12)-month period in the event Tenant shall pay such late payment within five

(5) days following Xxxxxxxx’s written notice to Tenant of the occurrence of such late payment.

(c) For each Tenant payment check to Landlord that is returned by a bank for any reason, Tenant shall pay a returned check charge equal to the amount as shall be customarily charged by Xxxxxxxx’s bank at the time.

(d) Money paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be applied to Xxxxxx’s account in the following order: first, to any unpaid additional rent, including without limitation late charges, returned check charges, legal fees and/or court costs chargeable to Tenant hereunder; and then to unpaid Base Rent.

(e) The parties agree that the late charge referenced in Section 5.4(b) represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of any late payment by Xxxxxx, and the payment of late charges and interest are distinct and separate in that the payment of interest is to compensate Landlord for the use of Landlord’s money by Xxxxxx, while the payment

of late charges is to compensate Landlord for Landlord’s processing, administrative and other costs incurred by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s delinquent payments. Acceptance of a late

charge or interest shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to the overdue amount or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease or at law or in equity now or hereafter in effect.

(f) If Tenant during any six (6) month period shall be more than five (5) business days delinquent in the payment of any installment of Rent on three (3) or more occasions, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, elect to require Tenant to pay all Base Rent and additional rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes quarterly in advance. Such right shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other right or remedy available to Landlord hereunder or at law on account of Xxxxxx’s default hereunder.

5.5 No Offset; Independent Covenants; Waiver. Rent shall be paid without notice or demand, and without setoff, counterclaim, defense, abatement, suspension, deferment, reduction or deduction, except as expressly provided herein. TENANT WAIVES ALL RIGHTS (I) TO ANY ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION, DEFERMENT, REDUCTION OR DEDUCTION OF OR FROM RENT, AND (II) TO QUIT, TERMINATE OR SURRENDER THIS LEASE OR THE PREMISES OR ANY PART THEREOF, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN. TENANT HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT HEREUNDER SHALL BE SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS, THAT RENT SHALL CONTINUE TO BE PAYABLE IN ALL EVENTS AND THAT THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT HEREUNDER SHALL CONTINUE UNAFFECTED, UNLESS THE REQUIREMENT TO PAY OR PERFORM THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN TERMINATED PURSUANT TO AN EXPRESS PROVISION OF THIS LEASE. LANDLORD AND TENANT EACH ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE INDEPENDENT NATURE OF THE OBLIGATIONS OF TENANT HEREUNDER REPRESENTS FAIR, REASONABLE, AND ACCEPTED COMMERCIAL PRACTICE WITH RESPECT TO THE TYPE OF PROPERTY SUBJECT TO THIS LEASE, AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS THE PRODUCT OF FREE AND INFORMED NEGOTIATION DURING WHICH BOTH LANDLORD AND TENANT WERE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL SKILLED IN NEGOTIATING AND DRAFTING COMMERCIAL LEASES IN MASSACHUSETTS, AND THAT THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTAINED HEREIN ARE MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLDING IN WESSON X.

XXXXX ENTERPRISES, INC., 437 MASS. 708 (2002). SUCH ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS BY TENANT ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD ENTERING INTO THIS LEASE.

5.6 Survival. Any obligations under this Section 5 which shall not have been paid at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall survive such expiration or earlier termination and shall be paid when and as the amount of same shall be determined and be due.


6.	INTENTIONALLY DELETED.


7.	LETTER OF CREDIT

7.1 Amount. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either (i) cash in the amount specified in the Lease Summary Sheet (the “Cash

Security Deposit”), which shall be held by Landlord in accordance with Section 7.5 below, or (ii) an irrevocable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) that shall (a) be in the initial amount of

$1,519,282.90; (b) be issued in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 6; (c) name Landlord as its beneficiary; (d) be drawn on an FDIC insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that both (x) either has an office in the greater Boston metropolitan area that will accept presentation of, and pay against, the Letter of Credit or will permit drawings by facsimile or overnight courier, and (y) satisfies both the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold and the Minimum Capital Threshold (as those terms are defined below). The “Minimum Rating Agency Threshold” shall mean that the issuing bank has outstanding unsecured, uninsured and unguaranteed senior long-term indebtedness that is then rated (without regard to qualification of such rating by symbols such as “+” or “-” or numerical notation) “Baa” or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. and/or “BBB” or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, or a comparable rating by a comparable national rating agency designated by Landlord in its discretion. The “Minimum Capital Threshold” shall mean that the Issuing Bank has combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $10,000,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby agrees that, as of the Execution Date, Silicon Valley Bank, N.A. is an Approved Issuer. The Letter of Credit (and any renewals or replacements thereof) shall be for a term of not less than one (1) year. If the issuer of the Letter of Credit gives notice of its election not to renew such Letter of Credit for any additional period, Tenant shall be required to deliver a substitute Letter of Credit satisfying the conditions hereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of such Letter of Credit. If the issuer of the Letter of Credit fails to satisfy either or both of the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold or the Minimum Capital Threshold, Tenant shall be required to deliver a substitute letter of credit from another issuer reasonably satisfactory to the Landlord and that satisfies both the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold and the Minimum Capital Threshold not later than ten (10) Business Days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such failure. Xxxxxx agrees that it shall from time to time, as necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Letter of Credit by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of the expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect, renew or replace the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit so that a Letter of Credit, in the amount required hereunder, is in effect until a date which is at least sixty (60) days after the Expiration Date. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at least sixty (60) days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, Landlord may draw upon such Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) as a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Article 7. Any renewal or replacement of the original or any subsequent Letter of Credit shall meet the requirements for the original Letter of Credit as set forth above, except that such replacement or renewal shall be issued by a national bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord at the time of the issuance thereof.

7.2 Application of Proceeds of Letter of Credit. Upon an Event of Default, or if any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Tenant pursuant to any of the provisions of any Act of Congress or State law relating to bankruptcy, reorganizations, arrangements, compositions or other relief from creditors (and, in the case of any proceeding instituted against it, if Tenant shall fail to have such proceedings dismissed within ninety (90) days) or if Tenant is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent as a result of any such proceeding, Landlord at its sole option may draw down all or a part of the Letter of Credit. The balance of any Letter of Credit cash proceeds shall be held in accordance with Section 7.5 below. Should the entire Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, be drawn down by Landlord, Tenant shall, upon the written demand of Landlord, deliver a replacement Letter of Credit in the amount drawn, and Xxxxxx’s failure to do so within ten (10)

days after receipt of such written demand shall constitute an additional Event of Default hereunder. The application of all or any part of the cash proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any obligation or default of Tenant under this Lease shall not deprive Landlord of any other rights or remedies Landlord may have nor shall such application by Landlord constitute a waiver by Landlord.

7.3 Transfer of Letter of Credit. In the event that Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Tenant shall upon notice from and at no cost to Landlord, deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit naming Xxxxxxxx’s successor as the beneficiary thereof. If Tenant fails to deliver such amendment or replacement within ten

(10) days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to draw down the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 7.5 below.

7.4 Cash Proceeds of Letter of Credit. Landlord shall hold the Cash Security Deposit and/or the balance of proceeds remaining after a draw on the Letter of Credit (each hereinafter referred to as the “Security Deposit”) as security for Tenant’s performance of all its Lease obligations. After an Event of Default, Landlord may apply the Security Deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages without prejudice to any other Landlord remedy. Xxxxxxxx has no obligation to pay interest on the Security Deposit and may co-mingle the Security Deposit with Landlord’s funds. If Landlord conveys its interest under this Lease, the Security Deposit, or any part not applied previously, may be turned over to the grantee in which case Tenant shall look solely to the grantee for the proper application and return of the Security Deposit.

7.5 Return of Security Deposit or Letter of Credit. Should Tenant comply with all of such terms, covenants and conditions and promptly pay all sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, the Security Deposit and/or Letter of Credit or the remaining proceeds therefrom, as applicable, shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the end of the Term, less any portion thereof which may have been utilized by Landlord to cure any default or applied to any actual damage suffered by Landlord.


8.	INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

9.1 Electricity. Landlord shall contract with the utility provider for electric service to the Property, including the Premises. Commencing on the Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay all charges for electricity furnished to the Premises and any equipment exclusively serving the Premises, as additional rent, as measured by a submeter, with such metering equipment to be installed as part of Landlord’s Work. At Tenant’s request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable back-up documentation regarding the total charges and the method of allocating the charges to Tenant. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, maintain and keep in good order, condition and repair the metering equipment used to measure electricity furnished to the Premises and any equipment exclusively serving the same. Tenant shall not exceed its allotted base building capacities defined on Exhibit 5 attached hereto.

premises of other tenants or occupants of the Building) shall be included in Operating Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord determines that Tenant is using water in excess of its proportionate share (by floor area) of the total water usage in the Building, Landlord may elect, at Tenant’s expense, to furnish and install in a location in or near the Premises metering equipment to measure water furnished to the Premises and any equipment exclusively serving the same. In such event, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after Xxxxxxxx’s written demand therefor from time to time, pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the full amount of any water service charges attributable to such meter.

9.3 Gas. Landlord shall contract with the utility provider for gas service to the Property, including the Premises. The cost of gas used to serve base building plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems shall be included in the costs reimbursed by Tenant pursuant to Section 9.6 below. If Tenant requires gas service for the operation of Tenant’s laboratory equipment in the Premises, Tenant shall pay all charges for gas furnished to the Premises and/or any equipment exclusively serving the Premises as additional rent, based, at Landlord’s election,

(i)on Landlord’s reasonable estimate of such gas usage or (ii) on metering or submetering equipment installed by Landlord at Tenant’s expense.

9.4 Other Utilities. Subject to Landlord’s reasonable rules and regulations governing the same, Tenant shall obtain and pay, as and when due, for all other utilities and services consumed in and/or furnished to the Premises, together with all taxes, penalties, surcharges and maintenance charges pertaining thereto. Tenant shall be responsible for all telephone and data wiring throughout its Premises.

9.5 Interruption or Curtailment of Utilities. When necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements which in the reasonable judgment of Landlord are desirable or necessary to be made, Landlord reserves the right, upon as much prior notice to Tenant as is practicable under the circumstances and no less than twenty-four

(24) hours’ notice except in the event of an emergency, to interrupt, curtail, or stop (i) the furnishing of hot and/or cold water, and (ii) the operation of the plumbing and electric systems. Landlord shall diligently exercise commercially reasonable efforts to reduce the duration of and eliminate the cause of any such interruption, curtailment, stoppage or suspension, but there shall be no diminution or abatement of Rent or other compensation due from Landlord to Tenant hereunder, nor shall this Lease be affected or any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder reduced, and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for any such interruption, curtailment, stoppage, or suspension of services or systems. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the event any of the utilities serving the Property and the Premises are interrupted and unavailable for more than thirty

(30) continuous calendar days, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s option, have the ability to suspend the payment of Rent until all such utilities are again fully serving the Property and the Premises, and

(ii)in the event that any such interruption and unavailability continues for more than sixty (60) continuous calendar days, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s option, have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice of Xxxxxx’s election to terminate at any time after the expiration of such sixty-day period and before all such utilities are again fully serving the Property and the Premises.

9.6 Landlord’s Services. Subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 5.2 above, and subject to Tenant’s allotted base building capacities defined on Exhibit 5 as aforesaid,

Landlord shall provide the services described in Exhibit 7 attached hereto and made a part hereof (“Landlord’s Services”). All documented costs incurred by Landlord to provide HVAC service to the Premises and not included in Operating Costs shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent. Except for the foregoing, and except for the cost of providing and maintaining supplemental HVAC equipment exclusively serving the Premises (which shall be Tenant’s responsibility), all costs incurred in connection with the provision of Landlord’s Services shall be included in Operating Costs to the extent allowable pursuant to Section 5.2.


10.	MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS

10.1 Maintenance and Repairs by Xxxxxx. Tenant shall keep neat and clean and free of insects, rodents, vermin and other pests and in good repair, order and condition (reasonable wear and tear and damage by Casualty excepted): the Premises, including without limitation the entire interior of the Premises, all electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment (other than building service equipment) that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of the Tenant (whether located in the Premises or other portions of the Building), all fixtures, equipment and specialty lighting therein, any supplemental HVAC and humidification equipment exclusively serving the Premises, electrical equipment wiring, doors, non-structural walls, windows and floor coverings, and all laboratory specific systems and equipment that exclusively serve the Premises, including, without limitation, equipment critical to laboratory operations.

10.2 Maintenance and Repairs by Landlord. Except as otherwise provided in Section 15, and subject to Tenant’s obligations in Section 10.1 above, Landlord shall maintain and keep in reasonable condition the Building foundation, the roof, Building structure, structural floor slabs and columns in good repair, order and condition.

Tenant shall give to Landlord prompt notice of any fire or accident in the Premises or in the Building and of any damage to, or defective condition in, any part or appurtenance of the Building including, without limitation, sanitary, electrical, ventilation, heating and air conditioning or other systems located in, or passing through, the Premises. Except as otherwise provided in Section 15, and subject to Tenant’s obligations in Section 10.1 above, such damage or defective condition shall be remedied by Landlord with reasonable diligence, but, subject to Section 14.5 below, if such damage or defective condition was caused by any of the Tenant Parties, the cost to remedy the same shall be paid by Tenant.

10.4 Floor Load--Heavy Equipment. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the floor load per square foot of area which such floor was designed to carry and which is allowed by Legal Requirements. The floor load capacity of the Premises is 100 pounds per square foot, with the exception of certain areas near the vicinity of the western façade of the Building, where the floor load capacity is 50 pounds per square foot. Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all safes, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight,

bulky matter or fixtures (collectively, “Heavy Equipment”), which shall be placed so as to distribute the weight. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the proposed locations of any Heavy Equipment prior to its installation in the Premises. Heavy Equipment shall be placed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in settings sufficient in Landlord’s reasonable judgment to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance. Tenant shall not move any Heavy Equipment into or out of the Building without giving Landlord prior written notice thereof and observing all of Landlord’s Rules and Regulations with respect to the same. If such Heavy Equipment requires special handling, Xxxxxx agrees to employ only persons holding a Master Xxxxxx’s License to do said work, and that all work in connection therewith shall comply with Legal Requirements. Any such moving shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant and Tenant will defend, indemnify and save Landlord and Landlord’s agents (including without limitation its property manager), contractors and employees (collectively with Landlord, the “Landlord Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, penalties, costs, expenses and fees (including without limitation reasonable legal fees) (collectively, “Claims”) resulting directly or indirectly from such moving. Proper placement of all Heavy Equipment in the Premises shall be Tenant’s responsibility.

10.5 Premises Cleaning. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for janitorial and trash removal services and other biohazard disposal services for the Premises, including any laboratory areas thereof. Such services shall be performed by licensed (where required by law or governmental regulation), insured and qualified contractors approved in advance, in writing, by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and on a sufficient basis to ensure that the Premises are at all times kept neat and clean. Landlord shall provide a dumpster and/or compactor at the Building loading dock for Tenant’s disposal of non-hazardous and non-controlled substances. All costs incurred by Landlord in connection with such dumpster and/or compactor shall be included in Operating Costs as provided in Section 5.2.

Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall cause the Premises to be exterminated on a quarterly basis (or more frequently if Landlord reasonably determines the same to be necessary) to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction and shall cause all portions of the Premises used for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages to be cleaned daily in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and to be treated as necessary against infestation by insects, rodents and other vermin and pests whenever there is evidence of any infestation. Tenant shall not permit any person to enter the Premises for the purpose of providing such extermination services, unless such persons have been reasonably approved by Landlord. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, store any refuse generated in the Premises by the consumption of food or beverages in a cold box or similar facility.


10.7	Service Interruptions.

(a) Abatement of Rent. In the event that: (i) there shall be an interruption, curtailment or suspension of any service or failure to perform any obligation required to be provided or performed by Landlord pursuant to Sections 9 and/or 10 (and no reasonably equivalent alternative service or supply is provided by Landlord) that shall materially interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, or any portion thereof (any such event, a “Service

Interruption”), and (ii) such Service Interruption shall continue for five (5) consecutive business days following receipt by Landlord of written notice (the “Service Interruption Notice”) from Tenant describing such Service Interruption (“Abatement Service Interruption Cure Period”), and (iii) such Service Interruption shall not have been caused by an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees (an event that satisfies the foregoing conditions (i)-(iii) being referred to hereinafter as a “Material Service Interruption”) then, Tenant, subject to the next following sentence, shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Base Rent, Operating Costs and Taxes based on the nature and duration of the Material Service Interruption and the area of the Premises affected, for any and all days following the Material Service Interruption Cure Period that both (x) the Material Service Interruption is continuing and (y) Tenant does not use such affected areas of the Premises for a bona fide business purpose. Any efforts by Tenant to respond or react to any Material Service Interruption, including, without limitation, any activities by Tenant to remove its personal property from the affected areas of the Premises, shall not constitute a use that precludes abatement pursuant to this Section 10.7(a). The Abatement Service Interruption Cure Period shall be extended by reason of any delays in Landlord’s ability to cure the Service Interruption in question caused by Landlord’s Force Majeure, provided however, that in no event shall the extension of the Abatement Service Interruption Cure Period with respect to any Service Interruption be longer than fifteen (15) consecutive business days after Landlord receives the applicable Service Interruption Notice.

(b) The provisions of this Section 10.7 shall not apply in the event of a Service Interruption caused by Casualty or Taking (see Section 15 hereof).

(c) The provisions of this Section 10.7 set forth Tenant’s sole rights and remedies, both in law and in equity, in the event of any Service Interruption.


11.	ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT


11.1	Landlord’s Consent Required.

(a) Tenant shall not make any alterations, decorations, installations, removals, additions or improvements (collectively “Alterations”) in or to the Premises without Landlord’s prior written approval of the contractor(s), written plans and specifications and a time schedule therefor. Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant use Landlord’s preferred vendor(s) (and Landlord agrees to provide at least two (2) preferred vendors for any project) for any Alterations that involve roof penetrations, alarm tie-ins, sprinklers, fire alarm and other life safety equipment. Tenant shall not make any amendments or additions to plans and specifications approved by Landlord without Landlord’s prior written consent. Landlord’s approval of non-structural Alterations shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole discretion (i) to any Alteration to or affecting the roof and/or building systems, (ii) with respect to matters of aesthetics relating to Alterations to or affecting the exterior of the Building, and (iii) to any Alteration affecting the Building structure. Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with Legal Requirements, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Xxxxxx’s plans shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility for such design. In seeking Landlord’s approval, Tenant shall

provide Landlord, at least fourteen (14) business days in advance of any proposed construction, with plans, specifications, bid proposals, certified stamped engineering drawings and calculations by Xxxxxx’s engineer of record or architect of record, (including connections to the Building’s structural system, modifications to the Building’s envelope, non-structural penetrations in slabs or walls, and modifications or tie-ins to life safety systems), work contracts, requests for laydown areas and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the alterations as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for any claim, injury or damage alleged to have been caused by the particular materials (whether building standard or non- building standard), appliances or equipment selected by Tenant in connection with any work performed by or on behalf of Xxxxxx. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all Alterations shall be done at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate. If Tenant shall make any Alterations, then Landlord may elect to require Tenant at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to the Alterations provided that such election shall be made at the time Landlord gives its approval for such Alterations, provided further Landlord will not elect to require Tenant to remove any Alterations unless the same, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, (i) adversely affect the general utility of the Building for use by prospective future tenants and/or (ii) required unusual expense to readapt the Premises to normal use as a biotechnology office and research and development facility. Xxxxxxxx agrees that Tenant shall have no obligation to remove any customary office/non-laboratory Alterations to the Premises. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reproducible record drawings (in CAD format) of all Alterations within sixty (60) days after completion thereof.

(b) Alterations Permitted without Landlord’s Consent. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1(a), the Alterations which (x) consist solely of decorative or cosmetic work that does not affect or involve the Building’s structure or base systems, and (y) which do not cost in excess of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00), shall not be subject to Landlord's prior approval provided that Tenant delivers a reasonable description of such Alterations to Landlord at least five (5) business days’ prior to commencing such work and subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 11.

11.2 After-Hours. Landlord and Xxxxxx recognize that to the extent Tenant elects to perform some or all of the Alterations during times other than normal construction hours (i.e., Monday-Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., excluding holidays), Landlord may need to make arrangements to have supervisory personnel on site. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: Tenant shall give Landlord at least two (2) business days’ prior written notice of any time outside of normal construction hours when Tenant intends to perform any Alterations (the “After- Hours Work”). Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the cost of Xxxxxxxx’s supervisory personnel overseeing the After-Hours Work. In addition, if construction during normal construction hours unreasonably disturbs other tenants of the Building, in Xxxxxxxx’s sole discretion, Landlord may require Tenant to stop the performance of Alterations during normal construction hours and to perform the same after hours, subject to the foregoing requirement to pay for the cost of Xxxxxxxx’s supervisory personnel.

11.3 Harmonious Relations. Tenant agrees to conduct its labor relations and its relations with its employees in such manner as to avoid all strikes, picketing and boycotts of, on or about the Premises or the Building. Tenant further agrees that if any of its employees strike or

if a picket line or boycott is established or conducted or carried out on or about the Property against Tenant or its contractors or employees, or any of them, Tenant will forthwith cease those operations in and upon the Premises that have caused the same until all disputes are settled.

11.4 Liens. No Alterations shall be undertaken by Tenant until (i) Tenant has made provision for written waiver of liens from all contractors for such Alteration and taken other appropriate protective measures approved and/or required by Landlord; and (ii) Tenant has procured appropriate surety payment and performance bonds which shall name Landlord as an additional obligee and has filed xxxx xxxx(s) (in jurisdictions where available) on behalf of such contractors. Any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or the Building for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant shall be discharged by Tenant within ten (10) days thereafter, at Tenant’s expense by filing the bond required by law or otherwise.

11.5 General Requirements. Unless Landlord and Tenant otherwise agree in writing, Tenant shall (a) procure or cause others to procure on its behalf all necessary permits before undertaking any Alterations in the Premises (and provide copies thereof to Landlord); (b) perform all of such Alterations in a good and workmanlike manner, employing materials of good quality and in compliance with Landlord’s construction rules and regulations, all insurance requirements of this Lease, and Legal Requirements; and (c) defend, indemnify and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all Claims occasioned by or growing out of such Alterations.


12.	SIGNAGE

12.1 Restrictions. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s expense, to install Building standard signage identifying Tenant’s business at the entrance to the Premises, which signage shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Subject to the foregoing, and subject to Section 12.2 below, Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed or maintained on the exterior of the Premises, or any part of the interior visible from the exterior thereof, any sign, banner, advertising matter or any other thing of any kind (including, without limitation, any hand-lettered advertising), and shall not place or maintain any decoration, letter or advertising matter on the glass of any window or door of the Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s written approval. No signs or blinds may be put on or in any window or elsewhere if visible from the exterior of the Building, provided that Tenant shall be permitted to install Building standard blinds in the Premises.


12.2	Exterior Signage.

(a) Monument Signage. Subject to the provisions of this Section 12.2, for so long as: (x) there is no Event of Default of Tenant and (y) the Lease is in full force and effect (the “Monument Signage Condition”), then Tenant shall have the right to require Landlord to list, at Landlord’s initial cost and expense, Xxxxxx’s name (“Tenant’s Monument Signage”) on each of the two (2) exterior monument signs to be constructed by Landlord on the Property. Such monument signs shall each be a common monument (i.e. other tenant(s) in the Building may have identification signage installed on such monuments). The right to the Tenant’s Monument Signage granted pursuant to this Section 12.2 is personal to Tenant, and may not be exercised by any occupant, subtenant, or other assignee of Tenant, other than an Affiliated Entity or Successor (the

parties hereby agreeing that Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of any change in Tenant’s Monument Signage). The parties hereby agree that the maintenance and removal of such Tenant’s Monument Signage (including, without limitation, the repair and cleaning of the existing monument façade upon removal of Tenant’s Monument Signage) shall be performed at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, except that Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of any change in Tenant’s Monument Signage during the initial Term of the lease.


12.3	Building Directory.

Landlord shall list Tenant within the directory in the Building lobby at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.


13.	ASSIGNMENT, MORTGAGING AND SUBLETTING

13.1 Landlord’s Consent Required. Tenant shall not mortgage or encumber this Lease in whole or in part whether at one time or at intervals, operation of law or otherwise. Except as expressly otherwise set forth herein Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, assign, sublet, license or transfer this Lease or the Premises in whole or in part whether by changes in 50% or more of the ownership or control of Tenant, or any direct or indirect owner of Tenant, whether at one time or at intervals, by sale or transfer of stock, partnership or beneficial interests, operation of law or otherwise, or permit the occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises by any person or entity other than Tenant’s employees (each of the foregoing, a “Transfer”). Any purported Transfer made without Xxxxxxxx’s consent, if required hereunder, shall be void and confer no rights upon any third person, provided that if there is a Transfer, Landlord may collect rent from the transferee without waiving the prohibition against Transfers, accepting the transferee, or releasing Tenant from full performance under this Lease. In the event of any Transfer in violation of this Section 13, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant to Landlord of any Transfer, or within sixty (60) days after Landlord first learns of the Transfer if no notice is given. No Transfer shall relieve Tenant of its primary obligation as party Tenant hereunder, nor shall it reduce or increase Landlord's obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Tenant’s stock is traded on a public exchange, the sale or transfer of such stock shall not be deemed a Transfer.


13.2	Landlord’s Recapture Right.

(a) Subject to Section 13.7 below, Tenant shall, prior to offering or advertising the Premises or any portion thereof for assignment or sublease, give a written notice (the “Recapture Notice”) to Landlord which: (i) states that Tenant desires to make a Transfer, (ii) identifies the affected portion of the Premises (the “Recapture Premises”), (iii) in the case of a sublease identifies the period of time (the “Recapture Period”) during which Tenant proposes to sublet the Recapture Premises, or indicates that Tenant proposes to assign its interest in this Lease, and (iv) offers to Landlord to terminate this Lease with respect to the Recapture Premises (in the case of a proposed assignment of Tenant's interest in this Lease or a subletting for the remainder of the term of this Lease) or to suspend the Term for the Recapture Period (i.e. the Term with respect to the Recapture Premises shall be terminated during the Recapture Period and Tenant's rental obligations shall be proportionately reduced). Landlord shall have fifteen (15) business days

within which to respond to the Recapture Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within the first three (3) years after the Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall not be required to deliver a Recapture Notice to Landlord prior to offering or advertising a portion of the Premises constituting less than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises for sublease.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord notifies Tenant that it accepts the offer contained in the Recapture Notice or any subsequent Recapture Notice, Tenant shall have the right, for a period of fifteen (15) days following receipt of such notice from Landlord, time being of the essence, to notify Landlord in writing that it wishes to withdraw such offer and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.

13.3 Standard of Consent to Transfer. If Landlord does not timely give written notice to Tenant accepting a Recapture Offer or declines to accept the same (or in the case of a sublease for which Tenant is not required to deliver a Recapture Notice, as set forth in Section 13.2(a) above), then Landlord agrees that, subject to the provisions of this Section 13, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to a Transfer on the terms contained in the Recapture Notice to an entity which will use the Premises for the Permitted Uses and, in Landlord's reasonable opinion: (a) has a tangible net worth and other financial indicators sufficient to meet the Transferee’s obligations under the Transfer instrument in question; (b) has a business reputation compatible with the operation of a first-class combination laboratory, research, development and office building; and (c) the intended use of such entity does not violate any restrictive use provisions then in effect with respect to space in the Building.

13.4 Listing Confers no Rights. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the Premises or on the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest in any such other person, firm or corporation any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises or be deemed to effect or evidence any consent of Landlord, it being expressly understood that any such listing is a privilege extended by Landlord revocable at will by written notice to Tenant.

13.5 Profits In Connection with Transfers. Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof, pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any rent, sum or other consideration to be paid or given in connection with any Transfer, either initially or over time, after deducting reasonable actual out-of-pocket legal, and brokerage expenses incurred by Xxxxxx and unamortized improvements paid for by Tenant in connection therewith, in excess of Rent hereunder as if such amount were originally called for by the terms of this Lease as additional rent.

13.6 Prohibited Transfers. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to make a Transfer unless on both (i) the date on which Tenant notifies Landlord of its intention to enter into a Transfer and (ii) the date on which such Transfer is to take effect, Tenant is not in default of any of its obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Xxxxxx agrees that in no event shall Tenant make a Transfer to (a) any government agency; (b) any tenant, subtenant or occupant of other space in the Building provided that Landlord has, or will within six (6) months after the date of Tenant’s Recapture Notice have, comparable space available in the Building or in another building on the Campus; or

(c) any entity with whom Xxxxxxxx shall have negotiated for space in the Property in the six (6) months immediately preceding such proposed Transfer.

13.7 Exceptions to Requirement for Consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord's consent and without giving Landlord a Recapture Notice, to make a Transfer to (a) an Affiliated Entity (hereinafter defined) so long as such entity remains in such relationship to Tenant, and (b) a Successor, provided that prior to or simultaneously with any such Transfer, such Affiliated Entity or Successor, as the case may be, and Tenant execute and deliver to Landlord an assignment and assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord whereby such Affiliated Entity or Successor, as the case may be, shall agree to be independently bound by and upon all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in the Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed, and whereby such Affiliated Entity or Successor, as the case may be, shall expressly agree that the provisions of this Section 13 shall, notwithstanding such Transfer, continue to be binding upon it with respect to all future Transfers. For the purposes hereof, an “Affiliated Entity” shall be defined as any entity (a) that, in the case of an assignment of this Lease, has a net worth and other financial indicators demonstrating such entity’s ability to perform all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, as evidenced by audited financial statements, or, in the case of a sublease, has the financial capability to perform the obligations assumed under the sublease; and (b) which is controlled by, is under common control with, or which controls Tenant. For the purposes hereof, a “Successor” shall be defined as any entity into or with which Tenant is merged or with which Tenant is consolidated or which acquires all or substantially all of Tenant’s stock or assets, provided that the surviving entity shall have a net worth and other financial indicators sufficient to meet Xxxxxx’s obligations hereunder.

15.2 below, Landlord shall restore the Building and/or the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately following completion of Landlord’s Work, or in the event of a partial Taking which affects the Building and the Premises, restore the remainder of the Building and the Premises not so Taken to substantially the same condition as is reasonably feasible. If, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, any element of the Tenant-Insured Improvements can more effectively be restored as an integral part of Landlord’s restoration of the Building or the Premises, such restoration shall also be made by Landlord, but at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Subject to rights of Mortgagees, Tenant Delays, Legal Requirements then in existence and to delays for adjustment of insurance proceeds or Taking awards, as the case may be, and instances of Landlord’s Force Majeure, Landlord shall substantially complete such restoration within one (1) year after Landlord’s receipt of all required permits therefor with respect to substantial reconstruction of at least 50% of the Building, or, within one hundred eighty (180) days after Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of all required permits therefor in the case of restoration of less than 50% of the Building. Upon substantial completion of such restoration by Landlord, Tenant shall use diligent efforts to complete restoration of the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Taking, as the case may be, as soon as reasonably possible. Xxxxxx agrees to cooperate with Landlord in such manner as Landlord may reasonably request to assist Landlord in collecting insurance proceeds due in connection with any Casualty which affects the Premises or the Building. In no event shall Landlord be required to expend more than the Net (hereinafter defined) insurance proceeds Landlord receives for damage to the Premises and/or the Building or the Net Taking award attributable to the Premises and/or the Building. “Net” means the insurance proceeds or Taking award actually paid to Landlord (and not paid over to a Mortgagee) less all costs and expenses, including adjusters and attorney’s fees, of obtaining the same. In the Operating Year in which a Casualty occurs, there shall be included in Operating Costs Landlord’s deductible under its property insurance policy. Except as Landlord may elect pursuant to this Section 15.1, under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair any damage to, or make any repairs to or replacements of, any Tenant-Insured Improvements.


15.2	Termination Rights.

(a) Landlord’s Termination Rights. Landlord may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Tenant if:


(i)	any material portion of the Building or any material means of access

thereto is taken;

Casualty; or


(ii)	more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the Building is damaged by

(iii) if the estimated time to complete restoration exceeds one (1) year from the date on which Landlord receives all required permits for such restoration.

(b) Tenant’s Termination Right. If Landlord is so required but fails to complete restoration of the Premises within the time frames and subject to the conditions set forth in Section

15.1 above, then Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord; provided, however, that if Landlord completes such restoration within thirty (30) days after receipt of any such termination notice, such termination notice shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The remedies set forth in this Section 15.2(b) and in Section 15.2(c) below are Tenant’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies based upon Landlord’s failure to complete the restoration of the Premises as set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 15 if the Casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of any Tenant Party.

(c) Further Termination Rights. In the case of any Casualty or Taking affecting the Premises and occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then (i) if such Casualty or Taking results in more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor area of the Premises being unsuitable for the Permitted Uses, or (ii) the damage to the Premises costs more than $250,000 to restore, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon thirty

(30) days’ written notice to the other. In addition, if Xxxxxxxx’s Mortgagee does not release sufficient insurance proceeds to cover the cost of Landlord’s restoration obligations, then Landlord shall (i) notify Tenant thereof, and (ii) have the right to terminate this Lease. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease pursuant to the previous sentence and such notice by Landlord does not include an agreement by Landlord to pay for the difference between the cost of such restoration and such released insurance proceeds, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 15, in no event may Tenant elect to terminate this Lease hereunder if the Casualty that would otherwise give rise to such right results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, contractors, or employees.

(d) Automatic Termination. In the case of a Taking of the entire Premises, then this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of possession by the Taking authority.

15.3 Rent Abatement. In the event of a Casualty affecting the Premises, there shall be an equitable adjustment of Base Rent, Operating Costs and Taxes based upon the degree to which Xxxxxx’s ability to conduct its business in the Premises is impaired by reason of such Casualty from and after the date of a Casualty, and continuing until the following portions of the repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord, as set forth above, are substantially completed: (i) any repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord within the Premises, and (ii) repair and restoration work with respect to the Common Areas to the extent that damage to the Common Areas caused by such Casualty materially adversely affects Tenant’s use of, or access to, the Premises.

15.4 Taking for Temporary Use. If the Premises are Taken for temporary use, this Lease and Tenant’s obligations, including without limitation the payment of Rent, shall continue.

For purposes hereof, a “Taking for temporary use” shall mean a Taking of ninety (90) days or less.

15.5 Disposition of Awards. Except for any separate award for Tenant’s movable trade fixtures, relocation expenses, and unamortized leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant (provided that the same may not reduce Landlord’s award), all Taking awards to Landlord or Tenant shall be Landlord’s property without Xxxxxx’s participation, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Xxxxxx’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant may pursue its own claim against the Taking authority.


16.	ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

Tenant shall at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), and the dates to which Rent has been paid in advance, if any, stating whether or not Landlord is in default in performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition contained in this Lease and, if so, specifying each such default, and such other facts as Landlord may reasonably request, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the Building or of any interest of Landlord therein, any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee thereof, any lessor or prospective lessor thereof, any lessee or prospective lessee thereof, or any prospective assignee of any mortgage thereof. Time is of the essence with respect to any such requested certificate, Tenant hereby acknowledging the importance of such certificates in mortgage financing arrangements, prospective sales and the like. If Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver to Landlord any such statement within such ten-day period, Tenant hereby appoints Landlord as Xxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact in its name and behalf to execute such statement, such appointment being coupled with an interest.


17.	HAZARDOUS MATERIALS


17.1	Prohibition.

(a) Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, bring or permit to be brought or kept in or on the Premises or elsewhere in the Building or the Property (i) any inflammable, combustible or explosive fluid, material, chemical or substance (except for standard office supplies stored in proper containers); and (ii) any Hazardous Material (hereinafter defined), other than, if Tenant’s use of the Premises includes research, development, warehouse, laboratory use, or other ancillary uses related to the foregoing, the types and quantities of Hazardous Materials which are approved by Landlord in advance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (“Tenant’s Hazardous Materials”), provided that the same shall at all times be:


(i)	brought upon, kept or used in Tenant’s Control Areas (as hereinafter

(i) Prime Premises. The parties acknowledge that the Prime Premises on the fourth floor shall be deemed to consist of two (2) Control Areas, as defined by the IBC, and Tenant shall not, in the Prime Premises, exceed the limitations which are imposed by the IBC on use and storage of Hazardous Materials for premises consisting of two Control Areas, and

(ii) Storage Area. Tenant shall not, at any time, exceed in the Storage Area, the solvent storage capacity permitted for one Control Area under the IBC.

(c) Tenant shall be responsible for assuring that all laboratory uses are adequately and properly vented. On or before each anniversary of the Term Commencement Date, and on any earlier date during the 12-month period on which Tenant intends to add a new Hazardous Material or materially increase the quantity of any Hazardous Material to the list of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall submit to Landlord an updated list of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials for Landlord’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to inspect the Premises for compliance with the terms of this Section 17.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials which Tenant does not properly handle, store or dispose of in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws (hereinafter defined), prudent environmental practice and (with respect to medical waste and so-called “biohazard materials”) good scientific and medical practice, Tenant shall, upon written notice from Landlord, no longer have the right to bring such material into the Building or the Property until Tenant has demonstrated, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, that Tenant has implemented programs to thereafter properly handle, store or dispose of such material. In order to induce Landlord to waive its otherwise applicable requirement that Tenant maintain insurance in favor of Landlord against liability arising from the presence of radioactive materials in the Premises, and without limiting the foregoing, Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that at no time during the Term will Tenant bring upon, or permit to be brought upon, the Premises any radioactive materials whatsoever.

17.2 Environmental Laws. For purposes hereof, “Environmental Laws” shall mean all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of any local, state or federal governmental authority having jurisdiction concerning environmental, health and safety matters, including but not limited to any discharge by any of the Tenant Parties into the air, surface water, sewers, soil or groundwater of any Hazardous Material (hereinafter defined) whether within or outside the Premises, including, without limitation (a) the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. Section 1251 et seq., (b) the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq., (c) the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,

17.3 Hazardous Material Defined. As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” means asbestos, oil or any hazardous, radioactive or toxic substance, material or waste or petroleum derivative which is or becomes regulated by any Environmental Law, including without limitation live organisms, viruses and fungi, medical waste and any so-called “biohazard” materials. The term “Hazardous Material” includes, without limitation, oil and/or any material or substance which is (i) designated as a “hazardous substance,” “hazardous material,” “oil,” “hazardous waste” or toxic substance under any Environmental Law.

17.4 Chemical Safety Program. If at any time during the Term, Xxxxxx’s use of the Premises includes research, development, warehouse, laboratory use, or other ancillary uses related to the foregoing, Tenant shall establish and maintain a chemical safety program administered by a licensed, qualified individual in accordance with the requirements of any applicable governmental authority. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such chemical safety program, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with such documentation as Landlord may reasonably require evidencing Tenant’s compliance with the requirements of (a) any applicable governmental authority with respect to such chemical safety program and (b) this Section. Tenant shall obtain and maintain during the Term any permit required by any such applicable governmental authority.

17.5 Testing. If any Mortgagee or governmental authority requires testing to determine whether there has been any release of Hazardous Materials and such testing is required as a result of the acts or omissions of any of the Tenant Parties, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand, as additional rent, for the reasonable costs thereof, together with interest at the Default Rate until paid in full. Tenant shall execute affidavits, certifications and the like, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time concerning Xxxxxx's best knowledge and belief concerning the presence of Hazardous Materials in or on the Premises, the Building or the Property. In addition to the foregoing, if Landlord reasonably believes that any Hazardous Materials have been released on the Premises in violation of this Lease or any Legal Requirement, Landlord shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of the Premises or any portion thereof to demonstrate that Hazardous Materials are present or that contamination has occurred due to the acts or omissions of any of the Tenant Parties. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs of such tests if such tests reveal that Hazardous Materials exist at the Premises in material violation of this Lease or any Legal Requirement. Further, Landlord shall have the right to cause a third party consultant retained by Landlord, at Landlord’s expense (provided, however, that such costs shall be included in Operating Costs), to review, but not more than once in any calendar year, Xxxxxx’s lab operations, procedures and permits to ascertain whether or not Tenant is complying with law and adhering to best industry practices. Xxxxxx agrees to cooperate in good faith with any such review and to provide to such consultant any information requested by such consultant and reasonably required in order for such consultant to perform such review, but nothing contained herein shall require Tenant to provide proprietary or confidential information to such consultant.


17.6	Indemnity; Remediation.

(a) Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord Parties harmless from and against any and all Claims against any of the Landlord Parties arising out of contamination of any part of the Property or other adjacent property, which contamination arises as a result of: (i) the presence of Hazardous Material in the Premises, the presence of which is caused by any act or omission of any of the Tenant Parties, or (ii) from a breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Section 17. This indemnification of the Landlord Parties by Tenant includes, without limitation, reasonable costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work or any other response actions required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil, soil vapor or ground water on or under or any indoor air in the Building based upon the circumstances identified in the first sentence of this Section 17.6. The indemnification and hold harmless obligations of Tenant under this Section 17.6 shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material in the Building or otherwise in the Property is caused or permitted by any of the Tenant Parties and results in any contamination of any part of the Property or any adjacent property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at Tenant’s sole cost and expense as are necessary to return the Property and/or the Building or any adjacent property to their condition as of the date of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s written approval of such actions, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such actions, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, would not potentially have any adverse effect on the Property, and, in any event, Landlord shall not withhold its approval of any proposed actions which are required by applicable Environmental Laws. The provisions of this Section 17.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

(b) Without limiting the obligations set forth in Section 17.6(a) above, if any Hazardous Material is in, on, under, at or about the Building or the Property as a result of the acts or omissions of any of the Tenant Parties and results in any contamination of any part of the Property or any adjacent property that is in violation of any applicable Environmental Law or that requires the performance of any response action pursuant to any Environmental Law, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at Tenant’s sole cost and expense as are necessary to reduce such Hazardous Material to amounts below any applicable Reportable Quantity, any applicable Reportable Concentration and any other applicable standard set forth in any Environmental Law such that no further response actions are required; provided that Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s written approval of such actions, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such actions would not be reasonably expected to have an adverse effect on the market value or utility of the Property for the Permitted Uses, and in any event, Landlord shall not withhold its approval of any proposed actions which are required by applicable Environmental Laws (such approved actions, “Tenant’s Remediation”).

(i) until the completion of Tenant’s Remediation (as evidenced by the certification of Tenant’s Licensed Site Professional (as such term is defined by applicable Environmental Laws), who shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord) (the “Remediation

Completion Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with respect to the portion of the Premises which reasonably cannot be occupied by a new tenant until completion of Tenant’s Remediation,

(A) additional rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes and (B) Base Rent in an amount equal to the greater of (1) the fair market rental value of such portion of the Premises (determined in substantial accordance with the process described in Section 1.2 above), and (2) Base Rent attributable to such portion of the Premises in effect immediately prior to the end of the Term; and

(ii) Tenant shall maintain responsibility for Tenant’s Remediation and Tenant shall complete Tenant’s Remediation as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with Environmental Laws. If Tenant does not diligently pursue completion of Tenant’s Remediation, Landlord shall have the right to either (A) assume control for overseeing Tenant’s Remediation, in which event Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Tenant’s Remediation (it being understood and agreed that all costs and expenses of Xxxxxx’s Remediation incurred pursuant to contracts entered into by Tenant shall be deemed reasonable) within thirty (30) days of demand therefor (which demand shall be made no more often than monthly), and Landlord shall be substituted as the party identified on any governmental filings as the party responsible for the performance of such Tenant’s Remediation or (B) require Tenant to maintain responsibility for Tenant’s Remediation, in which event Tenant shall complete Tenant’s Remediation as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with Environmental Laws, it being understood that Tenant’s Remediation shall not contain any requirement that Tenant remediate any contamination to levels or standards more stringent than those associated with the Property’s current office, research and development, laboratory, and vivarium uses.

(d) The provisions of this Section 17.6 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

17.7 Disclosures. Prior to bringing any Hazardous Material into any part of the Property, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the following information with respect thereto: (a) a description of handling, storage, use and disposal procedures; (b) all plans or disclosures and/or emergency response plans which Tenant has prepared, including without limitation Tenant’s Spill Response Plan, and all plans which Tenant is required to supply to any governmental agency or authority pursuant to any Environmental Laws; (c) copies of all Required Permits relating thereto; and (d) other information reasonably requested by Xxxxxxxx.

17.8 Removal. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for Hazardous Material and other biohazard disposal services for the Premises. Such services shall be performed by contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and on a sufficient basis to ensure that the Premises are at all times kept neat, clean and free of Hazardous Materials and biohazards except in appropriate, specially marked containers reasonably approved by Landlord.

(ii) amounts equal to Rent which would have been payable by Xxxxxx had this Lease not been so terminated, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination and until the Expiration Date, provided, however, if Landlord shall re- let the Premises during such period, that Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such re-letting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross

rents as and when received by Landlord from such re-letting the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease, as well as the expenses of re-letting, including altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, and all other similar and dissimilar expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom (collectively, “Reletting Costs”), it being understood that any such re-letting may be for a period equal to or shorter or longer than the remaining Term; and provided, further, that (x) in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder and (y) in no event shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Section 20.3(a)(ii) to a credit in respect of any net rents from a re-letting except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord prior to the commencement of such suit. If the Premises or any part thereof should be re-let in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square foot area basis shall be made of the rent received from such re- letting and of the expenses of re-letting.

(b) In calculating the amount due under Section 20.3(a)(i), above, there shall be included, in addition to the Base Rent, all other considerations agreed to be paid or performed by Xxxxxx, including without limitation Tenant’s Share of Operating Costs and Taxes, on the assumption that all such amounts and considerations would have increased at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum for the balance of the full term hereby granted.

(c) Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term would have expired if it had not been terminated hereunder.

(d) Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any Event of Default hereunder.

(e) In lieu of any other damages or indemnity and in lieu of full recovery by Landlord of all sums payable under all the foregoing provisions of this Section 20.3, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, at any time after this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions herein contained or is otherwise terminated for breach of any obligation of Tenant and before such full recovery, elect to recover, and Tenant shall thereupon pay, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the aggregate of (x) an amount equal to the lesser of (1) Rent accrued under this Lease in the twelve (12) months immediately prior to such termination, or (2) Rent payable during the remaining months of the Term if this Lease had not been terminated, plus (y) the amount of Rent accrued and unpaid at the time of termination, less (z) the amount of any recovery by Landlord under the foregoing provisions of this Section 20.3 up to the time of payment of such liquidated damages.

20.4 Landlord’s Self-Help; Fees and Expenses. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any covenant on Tenant’s part to be performed in this Lease contained, including without limitation the obligation to maintain the Premises in the required condition pursuant to Section 10.1 above, Landlord may, upon reasonable advance notice, except that no notice shall be required in an emergency, immediately, or at any time thereafter, perform the same for the account

of Tenant. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand therefor any costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest at the Default Rate until paid in full. In addition, Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s costs and expenses, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred (i) in enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or (ii) as a result of Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties, without its fault, being made party to any litigation pending by or against any of the Tenant Parties.

20.5 Waiver of Redemption, Statutory Notice and Grace Periods. Tenant does hereby waive and surrender all rights and privileges which it might have under or by reason of any present or future Legal Requirements to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the Term hereby demised after being dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided. Except to the extent prohibited by Legal Requirements, any statutory notice and grace periods provided to Tenant by law are hereby expressly waived by Tenant.

20.6 Landlord’s Remedies Not Exclusive. The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may at any time be lawfully entitled, and Landlord may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for.

20.7 No Waiver. Xxxxxxxx’s failure to seek redress for violation, or to insist upon the strict performance, of any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations promulgated hereunder, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The failure of Landlord to enforce any of such Rules and Regulations against Tenant and/or any other tenant in the Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Rules and Regulations. No provisions of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by either party unless such waiver be in writing signed by such party. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.


20.8	Restrictions on Tenant’s Rights. During the continuation of any Event of Default,

(a) Landlord shall not be obligated to provide Tenant with any notice pursuant to Sections 1.2 and

25.17 above; and (b) Tenant shall not have the right to make, nor to request Landlord’s consent or approval with respect to, any Alterations or Transfers.

20.9 Landlord Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease unless Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default, provided Landlord commences cure within 30 days) after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation. Except as expressly set forth in this

Lease, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold rent or to set-off or deduct any claim or damages against rent as a result of any default by Landlord or breach by Landlord of its covenants or any warranties or promises hereunder, except in the case of a wrongful eviction of Tenant from the Premises (constructive or actual) by Landlord, unless the same continues after notice to Landlord thereof and an opportunity for Landlord to cure the same as set forth above. In addition, Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against Landlord from rent thereafter due and payable under this Lease.


21.	SURRENDER; ABANDONED PROPERTY; HOLD-OVER


21.1	Surrender

(a) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall (i) peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises (including without limitation all fixed lab benches, fume hoods, electric, plumbing, heating and sprinkling systems, fixtures and outlets, vaults, paneling, molding, shelving, radiator enclosures, cork, rubber, linoleum and composition floors, ventilating, silencing, air conditioning and cooling equipment therein, the Generator (if installed), and all other furniture, fixtures, and equipment that was either provided by Landlord or paid for in whole or in part by any allowance provided to Tenant by Landlord under this Lease) broom clean, in good order, repair and condition excepting only ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other insured Casualty; (ii) remove all of Tenant’s Property, all autoclaves and cage washers and, to the extent specified by Landlord pursuant to Section 11.1(b), Alterations made by Tenant; (iii) remove the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, including, without limitation, all fixtures and equipment, and restore the area in which the kitchen is located to shell condition; and (iv) repair any damages to the Premises or the Building caused by the installation or removal of Tenant’s Property and/or such Alterations. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 21.1(a) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(b) Prior to the expiration of this Lease (or within thirty (30) days after any earlier termination), Tenant shall clean and otherwise decommission all interior surfaces (including floors, walls, ceilings, and counters), piping, supply lines, waste lines, acid neutralization systems and plumbing in and/or exclusively serving the Premises, and all exhaust or other ductwork in and/or exclusively serving the Premises, in each case which has carried or released or been contacted by any Hazardous Materials or other chemical or biological materials used in the operation of the Premises, and shall otherwise clean the Premises so as to permit the Surrender Plan (defined below) to be issued. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term (or, if applicable, within five (5) business days after any earlier termination of this Lease), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a reasonably detailed narrative description of the actions proposed (or required by any Legal Requirements) to be taken by Tenant in order to render the Premises (including any Alterations permitted or required by Landlord to remain therein) free of Hazardous Materials and otherwise released for unrestricted use and occupancy including without limitation (and to the extent applicable) causing the Premises to be decommissioned in accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and/or the Massachusetts Department of Public health (the “MDPH”) for the control of radiation, and cause the Premises to be released for unrestricted use by the Radiation Control Program of the MDPH (the “Surrender Plan”). The Surrender Plan

(i) shall be accompanied by a current list of (A) all Required Permits held by or on behalf of any Tenant Party with respect to Hazardous Materials in, on, under, at or about the Premises, and (B)

Tenant’s Hazardous Materials, and (ii) shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord’s environmental consultant. In connection with review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional non- proprietary information concerning the use of and operations within the Premises as Landlord shall request. On or before the expiration of the Term (or within thirty (30) days after any earlier termination of this Lease, during which period Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises shall be governed by Section 21.3 below), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certification from a third party certified industrial hygienist reasonably acceptable to Landlord certifying that the Premises do not contain any Hazardous Materials and evidence that the approved Surrender Plan shall have been satisfactorily completed by a contractor acceptable to Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right, subject to reimbursement at Tenant’s expense as set forth below, to cause Landlord’s environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional procedures as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the expiration of the Term (or, if applicable, the date which is thirty (30) days after any earlier termination of this Lease), free of Hazardous Materials and otherwise available for unrestricted use and occupancy as aforesaid. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to deliver the Surrender Plan and any report by Xxxxxxxx’s environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the Premises to third parties. Such third parties and the Landlord Parties shall be entitled to rely on the Surrender Report. If Tenant shall fail to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address the use of Hazardous Materials by any of the Tenant Parties in, on, at, under or about the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to take any such actions as Landlord may deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises and the Property are surrendered in the condition required hereunder, the cost of which actions shall be reimbursed by Xxxxxx as additional rent upon demand. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 21.1(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 21.1(b) shall not be applicable unless Tenant’s use of the Premises includes laboratory use.

(c) No act or thing done by Landlord during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Xxxxxxxx. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, no employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Premises prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove from the Premises, prior to the end of the Term, any item installed by or for Tenant and which, pursuant to Legal Requirements, must be removed therefrom before the Premises may be used by a subsequent tenant.

21.2 Abandoned Property. After the expiration or earlier termination hereof, if Tenant fails to remove any property from the Building or the Premises which Tenant is obligated by the terms of this Lease to remove within ten (10) business days after written notice from Landlord, such property (the “Abandoned Property”) shall be conclusively deemed to have been abandoned, and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed

of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any item of Abandoned Property shall be sold, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord may receive and retain the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option, to the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under Section 20 hereof or pursuant to law, and to any arrears of Rent.

21.3 Holdover. If any of the Tenant Parties holds over (which term shall include, without limitation, the failure of Tenant or any Tenant Party to perform all of its obligations under Section 21.1 above) after the end of the Term, Tenant shall be deemed a tenant-at-sufferance subject to the provisions of this Lease; provided that whether or not Landlord has previously accepted payments of Rent from Tenant, (i) Tenant shall pay Base Rent at 150% of the highest rate of Base Rent payable during the Term, (ii) Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord all additional rent, and (iii) Tenant shall be liable for all damages, including without limitation lost business and consequential damages, incurred by Landlord as a result of such holding over, Tenant hereby acknowledging that Landlord may need the Premises after the end of the Term for other tenants and that the damages which Landlord may suffer as the result of Tenant’s holding over cannot be determined as of the Execution Date. Nothing contained herein shall grant Tenant the right to holdover after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

21.4 Warranties. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any warranties in effect on the last day of the Term with respect to any fixtures and Alterations installed in the Premises. Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of any such warranties prior to the expiration of the Term (or, if the Lease is earlier terminated, within five (5) days thereafter).


22.	MORTGAGEE RIGHTS

22.1 Subordination. Tenant’s rights and interests under this Lease shall be (i) subject and subordinate to any ground lease, overleases, mortgage, deed of trust, or similar instrument covering the Premises, the Building and/or the Land and to all advances, modifications, renewals, replacements, and extensions thereof (each of the foregoing, a “Mortgage”), or (ii) if any Mortgagee elects, prior to the lien of any present or future Mortgage. Landlord shall obtain an SNDA, as hereinafter defined, from the holder of any future Mortgage which affects the Property. An “SNDA” shall be defined as a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement on the standard form of SNDA then being used by the holder of the Mortgage in question, with such commercially reasonable modifications as may be requested by Xxxxxx. Tenant further shall attorn to and recognize any successor landlord, whether through foreclosure or otherwise, as if the successor landlord were the originally named landlord. The provisions of this Section 22.1 shall be self-operative and no further instrument shall be required to effect such subordination or attornment; however, Xxxxxx agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such subordination and attornment in such form as shall be requested by any such holder within fifteen (15) days of request therefor. Landlord represents that the Property is not encumbered by a Mortgage as of the date of this Lease.

22.2 Notices. Tenant shall give each Mortgagee the same notices given to Landlord concurrently with the notice to Landlord, and each Mortgagee shall have a reasonable opportunity thereafter to cure a Landlord default, and Mortgagee’s curing of any of Landlord’s default shall be treated as performance by Landlord.

22.3 Mortgagee Consent. Tenant acknowledges that, where applicable, any consent or approval hereafter given by Landlord may be subject to the further consent or approval of a Mortgagee; and the failure or refusal of such Mortgagee to give such consent or approval shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease contained, constitute reasonable justification for Landlord’s withholding its consent or approval.

22.4 Mortgagee Liability. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if any Mortgage shall be foreclosed, (a) the liability of the Mortgagee and its successors and assigns shall exist only so long as such Mortgagee or purchaser is the owner of the Premises, and such liability shall not continue or survive after further transfer of ownership; and (b) such Mortgagee and its successors or assigns shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior lessor under this Lease; (ii) liable for the performance of Landlord’s covenants pursuant to the provisions of this Lease which arise and accrue prior to such entity succeeding to the interest of Landlord under this Lease or acquiring such right to possession; (iii) subject to any offsets or defense which Tenant may have at any time against Landlord; (iv) bound by any base rent or other sum which Tenant may have paid previously for more than one (1) month; or (v) liable for the performance of any covenant of Landlord under this Lease which is capable of performance only by the original Landlord.


23.	QUIET ENJOYMENT.

Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant keeps and performs each and every covenant, agreement, term, provision and condition herein contained on the part and on behalf of Tenant to be kept and performed, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the Term from and against the claims of all persons lawfully claiming by, through or under Landlord subject, nevertheless, to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, any matters of record or of which Xxxxxx has knowledge and to any Mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate, as hereinabove set forth.


24.	NOTICES.

Any notice, consent, request, bill, demand or statement hereunder (each, a “Notice”) by either party to the other party shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when either delivered by hand or by nationally recognized overnight courier (in either case with evidence of delivery or refusal thereof) addressed as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice from Landlord to Tenant regarding ordinary business operations (e.g., exercise of a right of access to the Premises, maintenance activities, invoices, etc.) may also be given by written notice delivered to any person at the Premises whom Landlord reasonably believes is authorized to receive such notice on behalf of Tenant without copies as specified above. Either party may at any time change the address or specify an additional address for such Notices by delivering or mailing, as aforesaid, to the other party a notice stating the change and setting forth the changed or additional address, provided such changed or additional address is within the United States. Notices shall be effective upon the date of receipt or refusal thereof.


25.	MISCELLANEOUS

25.1 Separability. If any provision of this Lease or portion of such provision or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is for any reason held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease (or the remainder of such provision) and the application thereof to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

25.2 Captions. The captions are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this Lease nor the intent of any provisions thereof.

25.3 Broker. Tenant and Landlord each warrants and represents that it has dealt with no broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than T3 Advisors and JLL New England (collectively, “Broker”). Tenant and Xxxxxxxx each agrees to defend, indemnify and save the other harmless from and against any Claims arising in breach of the representation and warranty set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Landlord shall be solely responsible for the payment of any brokerage commissions to Broker.

25.4 Entire Agreement. This Lease, Lease Summary Sheet and Exhibits 1-12 attached hereto and incorporated herein contain the entire and only agreement between the parties and any and all statements and representations, written and oral, including previous correspondence and agreements between the parties hereto, are merged herein.

This Lease may not be modified orally or in any manner other than by written agreement signed by the parties hereto.

25.5 Governing Law. This Lease is made pursuant to, and shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and any applicable local municipal rules, regulations, by-laws, ordinances and the like.

25.6 Representation of Authority. By his or her execution hereof, each of the signatories on behalf of the respective parties hereby warrants and represents to the other that he or she is duly authorized to execute this Lease on behalf of such party. Upon Xxxxxxxx’s request, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence that any requisite resolution, corporate authority and any other necessary consents have been duly adopted and obtained.


25.7	Expenses Incurred by Landlord Upon Tenant Requests.

(a) Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, legal fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with all requests by Tenant for consents, approvals or execution of collateral documentation related to this Lease, including, without limitation, costs incurred by Landlord in the review and approval of Xxxxxx’s plans and specifications in connection with proposed Alterations to be made by Tenant to the Premises or in connection with requests by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to make a Transfer. Such costs shall be deemed to be additional rent under this Lease.

25.8 Survival. Without limiting any other obligation of Tenant which may survive the expiration or prior termination of the Term, all obligations on the part of Tenant to indemnify, defend, or hold Landlord harmless, as set forth in this Lease shall survive the expiration or prior termination of the Term.

25.9 Limitation of Liability. Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim against Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties, or the assets of any of the Landlord Parties, for breach of this Lease or otherwise, other than against Landlord’s interest in the Building and in the uncollected rents, issues and profits thereof, and Xxxxxx agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability of Landlord under this Lease. This Section 25.9(a) shall not limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx specifically agree that in no event shall any officer, director, trustee, employee or representative of Landlord or any of the other Landlord Parties ever be personally liable for any obligation under this Lease, nor shall Landlord or any of the other Landlord Parties be liable for consequential or incidental damages or for lost profits whatsoever in connection with this Lease.

25.10 Binding Effect. The covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party hereto is named or referred to, except that no violation of the provisions of Section 13 hereof shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant.

25.11 Landlord Obligations upon Transfer. Upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of the Building, Landlord shall be entirely freed and relieved from the performance and observance thereafter of all covenants and obligations hereunder on the part of Landlord to be performed and observed, it being understood and agreed in such event (and it shall be deemed and construed as a covenant running with the land) that the person succeeding to Landlord’s ownership of said reversionary interest shall thereupon and thereafter assume, and perform and observe, any and all of such covenants and obligations of Landlord, except as otherwise agreed in writing.

25.12 No Grant of Interest. Tenant shall not grant any interest whatsoever in any fixtures within the Premises or any item paid in whole or in part by Landlord’s Contribution or by Landlord.

25.13 Financial Information. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s reasonable request, Xxxxxx’s most recently completed balance sheet and related statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flows statements (audited if available) reviewed by an independent certified public accountant and certified by an officer of Tenant as being true and correct in all material respects. Any such financial information may be relied upon by any actual or potential lessor, purchaser, or mortgagee of the Property or any portion thereof. The Landlord acknowledges that Tenant is subject to the reporting obligations imposed on it pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “34 Act”), and, as such, the Tenant’s audited financial statements are readily available to the Landlord and the general public. Accordingly, Tenant shall not be obligated to provide Landlord with any of the information requested in this Section 25.13 for so long as Tenant is meeting its disclosure obligations under the 34 Act.

25.14 OFAC Certificate and Indemnity. Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001 (the “Executive Order”), and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 10756, the “Patriot Act”) prohibit certain property transfers. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to be continuing and re-made at all times during the Term) that neither Tenant nor any stockholder, manager, beneficiary, partner, or principal of Tenant is subject to the Executive Order, that none of them is listed on the United States Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” as modified from time to time, and that none of them is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Executive Order or the Patriot Act, provided that so long as Xxxxxx’s shares of stock are publicly traded, Xxxxxx makes no representation or warranty with respect to the ownership of any such shares of stock. The most current list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” can be found at xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxx/xxx/xxxxx.xxxx. Tenant shall from time to time, within ten days after request by Xxxxxxxx, deliver to Landlord any certification or other evidence requested from time to time by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, confirming Tenant’s compliance with these provisions. No assignment or subletting, other than a Related Party Transfer, shall be effective unless and until the assignee or subtenant thereunder delivers to Landlord written confirmation of such party’s compliance with the provisions of this subsection, in form and content satisfactory to Landlord. If for any reason the representations and warranties set forth in this subsection, or any certificate or other evidence of compliance delivered to Landlord hereunder, is untrue in any respect when made or delivered, or thereafter becomes untrue in any respect, then an event of default hereunder shall be deemed to occur immediately, and there shall be no opportunity to cure. Tenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and hold Landlord harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, losses claims, damages, penalties, fines, and costs (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or related to the breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties, and duties of Tenant. The provisions of this subsection shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for the longest period permitted by law.

25.15 Confidentiality. Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Lease are confidential. Disclosure of the terms hereof could adversely affect the ability of Landlord to negotiate other leases with respect to the Building and may impair Landlord’s relationship with other tenants of the Building. Tenant agrees that it and its partners, officers, directors, employees, brokers, and attorneys, if any, shall not disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any other person or entity without the prior written consent of Landlord which may be given or withheld by Landlord, in Xxxxxxxx’s sole discretion, except as required for financial disclosures or securities filings, as required by the order of any court or public body with authority over Tenant, or in connection with any litigation between Landlord and Tenant with respect this Lease. It is understood and agreed that damages alone would be an inadequate remedy for the breach of this provision by Xxxxxx, and Landlord shall also have the right to seek specific performance of this provision and to seek injunctive relief to prevent its breach or continued breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord understands and acknowledges that Tenant is required to publicly disclose this Lease as a material agreement under the 34 Act and that making such required disclosure does not and shall not result in a breach of this Section 25.15 by Xxxxxx.

25.16 Force Majeure. Other than for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease that can be performed by the payment of money (e.g., payment of Rent and maintenance of insurance), whenever a period of time is herein prescribed for action to be taken by either party hereto, such party shall not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of any such period of time, any delays due to strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or materials, war, acts of terrorism, governmental laws, regulations, or restrictions, or any other causes of any kind whatsoever which are beyond the control of such party (collectively “Force Majeure”). In no event shall financial inability of a party be deemed to be Force Majeure.


25.17	Right of First Offer.

(a) Grant of Option; Conditions. Tenant shall have the one time right of first offer (the “Right of First Offer”) with respect to any available space on the third (3rd) floor of the Building (the "Offering Space"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no portion of the Offering Space shall be deemed available until each such portion of the Offering Space has been leased to a third party and thereafter Landlord determines that such third party tenant of such Offering Space will vacate such Offering Space. Tenant’s Right of First Offer shall be exercised, if at all, as follows: at any time after Landlord has determined that the existing tenant in the Offering Space will not extend or renew the term of its lease for the Offering Space (but prior to leasing such Offering Space to a party other than the existing tenant), Landlord shall advise Tenant (the "Advice") of the terms under which Landlord is prepared to lease the Offering Space to Tenant for the remainder of the Term, which terms shall reflect the Prevailing Market (hereinafter defined) rate for such Offering Space as reasonably determined by Landlord. Tenant may lease such Offering Space in its entirety only, under such terms, by delivering written notice of exercise to Landlord (the "Notice of Exercise") within 10 business days after the date of the Advice, except that Tenant shall have no such Right of First Offer and Landlord need not provide Tenant with an Advice, if:

(i) Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable cure periods at the time that Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or

(ii) the Premises, or any portion thereof, is sublet (other than pursuant to a Transfer, as defined in Article 13 of the Lease) at the time Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or

(iii) the Lease has been assigned (other than pursuant to a Transfer described in Section 13.7 above) prior to the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or

(iv) Tenant is not occupying 60% or more of the Premises on the date Landlord would otherwise deliver the Advice; or


(v)	the Offering Space is not intended for the exclusive use of Tenant

during the Term; or


(vi)	the existing tenant in the Offering Space is interested in extending

or renewing its lease for the Offering Space or entering into a new lease for such Offering Space.


(b)	Terms for Offering Space.

(i) The term for the Offering Space shall commence upon the commencement date stated in the Advice and thereupon such Offering Space shall be considered a part of the Premises, provided that all of the terms stated in the Advice shall govern Tenant's leasing of the Offering Space and only to the extent that they do not conflict with the Advice, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply to the Offering Space.

(ii) Tenant shall pay Base Rent and additional rent for the Offering Space in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Advice, which terms and conditions shall reflect the Prevailing Market rate for the Offering Space as determined in Landlord's reasonable judgment; provided, however, that in no event shall the Base Rent and additional rent be less than the Base Rent and additional rent Tenant is then paying for the Premises.

(iii) The Offering Space (including improvements and personalty, if any) shall be accepted by Tenant in its condition and as-built configuration existing on the earlier of the date Tenant takes possession of the Offering Space or as of the date the term for such Offering Space commences, unless the Advice specifies any work to be performed by Landlord in the Offering Space, in which case Landlord shall perform such work in the Offering Space. If Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the Offering Space due to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by any party, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the space, and the commencement of the term for the Offering Space shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers possession of the Offering Space to Tenant free from occupancy by any party.

(c) Termination of Right of First Offer. The rights of Tenant hereunder with respect to the Offering Space shall terminate on the earlier to occur of: (i) the date that is two (2) years before the Expiration Date (unless Tenant simultaneously exercises its right, if any, to extend the Term as set forth in Section 1.2 above); (ii) Tenant's failure to exercise its Right of First Offer within the 5-day period provided in Section A above; and (iii) the date Landlord would have

provided Tenant an Advice if Tenant had not been in violation of one or more of the conditions set forth in Section A above.

A copy of the Offering Amendment shall be sent to Tenant within a reasonable time after Xxxxxxxx’s receipt of the Notice of Exercise executed by Xxxxxx, and Tenant shall execute and return the Offering Amendment to Landlord within 10 business days thereafter, but an otherwise valid exercise of the Right of First Offer shall be fully effective whether or not the Offering Amendment is executed.

EXHIBIT 4 WORK LETTER

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease (the “Lease”) by and between HCP/KING

75 HAYDEN LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and DICERNA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for space located at 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be performed in preparing the Premises for Tenant’s use. This Exhibit shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Term of the Lease, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease.


1.	Definitions.

(a)This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be performed in the Premises for Tenant’s use. For the purposes of this Lease, “Landlord’s Work” consists of: (i) the Base Building Work described on Exhibit 4-1, which shall be completed as Landlord’s sole cost and expense, (ii) the Tenant Improvement Work, as hereinafter defined, and (iii) the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, as hereinafter defined, which along with the Tenant Improvement Work shall be completed at Landlord’s cost but subject to Landlord’s Contribution, as hereinafter defined; and “Tenant’s Work” consists of the construction and/or installation, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, all of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment, Tenant’s Security System Work, all telephone and data wiring throughout the Premises, and other equipment Tenant intends to install in connection with the initial preparation of the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy (including, without limitation, any equipment, alarms, audio visual equipment and wiring, white noise equipment and wiring, and UPS). A matrix specifying the responsibility and schedule for the performance of the Landlord’s Work and Xxxxxx’s Work is attached hereto as Exhibit 4-2. The “Tenant Improvement Work” consists of the items listed on Exhibit 4-2 (Tenant/Landlord Responsibility Matrix) as “Landlord” (except to the extent included in the Base Building Work). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Tenant Improvement Work does not include the Landlord’s Kitchen Work. The parties intend that Tenant Improvement Work will be in accordance with construction documents (the “Construction Documents”) prepared by Landlord and approved by Tenant in accordance with this Exhibit 4 (which Construction Documents shall include sufficient detail with respect to finishes selected by Xxxxxx and engineering of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to be completed by the Contractor so as to be submitted for a building permit). The Construction Documents shall be based upon a space plan and design development plans to be prepared by Tenant (collectively, the “DD Plans”), which DD Plans shall be delivered to Landlord on or before February 1, 2020. A schematic plan showing the general layout of the Tenant Improvement Work is attached hereto as Exhibit 4-3; the DD Plans are anticipated to be materially consistent with the schematic plan attached hereto as Exhibit 4-3.

Exhibit 4, Page 1

(b)The “Landlord’s Kitchen Work” consists of the construction of a commissary kitchen within the Premises (the “Kitchen”), based on design plans (“Kitchen DD Plans”) to be prepared by Xxxxxx and submitted to Landlord for its approval (said approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Landlord’s Kitchen Work will be performed by Landlord based on a mutually agreeable timeline and schedule to be jointly determined by Landlord and Tenant following approval of the Kitchen DD Plans, provided that Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the performance of the Landlord’s Kitchen Work shall be separate and distinct from Landlord’s performance of the Tenant Improvement Work, and that such timeline and schedule for the Landlord’s Kitchen Work may provide for the Landlord’s Kitchen Work to commence after the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work; provided, however, (i) Landlord shall use reasonable and diligent efforts to complete the Landlord’s Kitchen Work on the mutually agreed upon timeline, (ii) portions of Landlord’s Kitchen Work may be performed concurrently with the Tenant Improvement Work, in Landlord’s discretion; and (iii) Landlord’s performance of the Landlord’s Kitchen Work after the Term Commencement Date shall be performed in a manner so as to minimize interference with Xxxxxx’s use of the balance of the Premises (including, performing any noisy, dusty or other disruptive work outside Tenant’s normal business hours). Upon Landlord’s approval of the Kitchen DD Plans for the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall approve construction documents for the Landlord’s Kitchen Work (the “Kitchen CDs”) in the same manner as applicable to the Tenant Improvement Work.

(c)Xxxxxxxx agrees to reimburse Tenant up to $9,192.30 (the “Space Planning Allowance”) for the preparation of the DD Plans and the Kitchen DD Plans, and any unused portion of the Space Planning Allowance shall be added to the Landlord’s Contribution (as defined below). Landlord and Xxxxxx acknowledge that the Construction Documents have not yet been prepared and, therefore, it is impossible to determine the exact cost of the Tenant Improvement Work at this time. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord’s obligation to pay for the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work, as hereinafter defined shall be limited to an amount (“Landlord’s Contribution”) which shall not exceed $6,128,200 (i.e., $100.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the “Maximum Amount”) and that Tenant shall be responsible for the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work to the extent that it exceeds the Maximum Amount. The “Cost of Tenant Improvement Work” shall be defined as all hard costs (“Hard Costs”) incurred by Landlord relating to the performance of the Tenant Improvement Work and the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, collectively (including, without limitation, the cost of obtaining permits and any applicable state sales and use taxes) and soft costs (“Soft Costs”) incurred by Landlord in connection with the Tenant Improvement Work and the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, collectively (including, without limitation, the cost of preparing the DD Plans, the Construction Documents and the Kitchen CDs). For avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work shall not include the costs of the Tenant’s Work or other costs and fees incurred by Tenant in connection with the preparation of the Premises for Tenant’s initial occupancy (including, without limitation, consulting fees). Xxxxxxxx will charge Tenant a construction management fee equal to 2.5% of all Hard Costs payable by Tenant in connection with the Tenant Improvement Work and the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, collectively. Landlord shall be solely responsible for the costs to construct the Base Building Work.

2.Contractor; GMP. Landlord shall enter into one or more contracts (each, a “Contract”) for the Tenant Improvement Work and the Landlord’s Kitchen Work with X.X.

Xxxxxxx & Company, LLC (“Contractor”). The Contracts shall be on the basis of a guaranteed maximum price (“GMP”). The GMP shall be determined based upon the sum of the following:


•	Contractor’s Fee: 3% of the sum (“Cost of the Work”) of: (i) Direct Cost of the Work, and (ii) General Conditions Costs (as established by the Contract).


•	Direct Cost of the Work: Determined by bids obtained from subcontractors in accordance with Section 5 below.


•	Contingency: 5% of the Cost of the Work.

3.Preparation of Construction Documents. The Contractor and/or Landlord shall engage R.E. Xxxxxxx Architects & Planners, Inc. and X.X. Xxxxxxx & Company, LLC as subconsultants to prepare the Construction Documents and Kitchen CDs for Tenant’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

4.Tenant Responses. Tenant shall respond, in writing, to any requests from Landlord or the Contractor for information, consents, or authorizations to proceed, within four (4) business days of Tenant’s receipt of such request. Any failure by Tenant to respond within such time period may be the basis of a Tenant Delay. Tenant shall have the right to hire a mutually approved Tenant Construction Representative to oversee all required construction relative to the Tenant Premises.


5.	Bid Process. Tenant hereby acknowledges that:


(i)	the Contractor will receive a single bid for each of the following portions of Landlord’s Work from the designated subcontractors (“Designated Subcontractors”) listed below who will perform both the design and construction such portions of Landlord’s Work:


•	Mechanical/HVAC: Environmental Systems, Inc.


•	Plumbing: North Shore Mechanical Contractors, Inc.


•	Fire Protection: Legacy Fire Protection, Inc.


•	Electrical: Nappa Electrical Contractors

If requested by Xxxxxx, Landlord will cause any Designated Subcontractor to provide backup documentation with respect to its bid, reasonably demonstrating that its bid is competitively priced relative to similarly situated subcontractors working in the Route 128/Route 2/Alewife corridor real estate market.


(ii)	Landlord will cause the Contractor to use reasonable efforts to obtain at least three (3) bidders for other portions of Landlord’s Work; however, given the current market, it may not be possible to obtain more than one or two bidders with respect to portions of Landlord’s Work.

If Tenant reasonably determines that the GMP is higher than is acceptable to Tenant, then Tenant shall have a one-time right to give request changes for each of the Tenant Improvement Work and the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, as applicable. In order to exercise such one-time right to request changes for each of the Tenant Improvement Work and the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, as applicable in order to reduce the GMP with respect to Tenant Improvement Work or the Landlord’s

Kitchen Work, as applicable, Tenant shall, on or before the date five (5) business days after Tenant receives Landlord’s notice to Tenant of the applicable GMP, give written notice to Landlord specifying the changes in the Tenant Improvement Work or the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, as applicable, requested by Xxxxxx. Such changes shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Based upon the revised Construction Documents for the Tenant Improvement Work, and/or the revised Kitchen CDs for the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, which are based upon the changes requested by Xxxxxx, as approved by Landlord, as aforesaid, the Contractor shall revise the applicable GMP for the construction of the Tenant Improvement Work or Landlord’s Kitchen Work, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 5. Tenant shall be responsible for the design cost associated with the preparation of the revised Construction Documents or Kitchen CDs, as applicable. Tenant shall have the right to review the applicable revised GMP within five (5) business days after receipt thereof.

6.Tenant’s Share. For the purposes of this Exhibit 4: (i) if the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work is equal to, or less than, the Maximum Amount, then “Tenant’s Construction Share” shall be 0%, or (ii) if the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work is greater than the Maximum Amount, then Tenant’s Construction Share shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the total Cost of Tenant Improvement Work exceeds the Maximum Amount and the denominator of which is the total Cost of Tenant Improvement Work. Following Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work and Landlord’s Kitchen Work, Landlord will provide Tenant with documentation demonstrating the final Cost of Tenant Improvement Work, which documentation shall consist of copies of the requisitions from the Contractor and invoices from vendors and consultants not otherwise included in the requisitions.

7.Tenant’s Obligation to Pay. If the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work exceeds the Maximum Amount, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such excess costs as follows: (i) Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Tenant Improvement Costs within thirty (30) days of Billing, as hereinafter defined, (ii) with respect to any Changes to the Tenant Improvement Work, Tenant shall pay for the cost of such changes in accordance with Section 8 below, and (iii) with respect to any increases in the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work arising from Claims by the Contractor, Tenant shall pay for the cost of such Claims as set forth in Section 9 below. “Billing” shall be defined as any invoice from Landlord setting forth, reasonable detail, the amount due from Tenant, and shall include invoices from vendors and service providers, and applications for payment from the Contractor for work completed through the date of Billing, as certified by the Contractor. Billing may not be submitted to Tenant more than one time per calendar month. The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes an Event of Default under the Lease.

8.Changes. If Tenant shall request any change, addition or alteration in any of the Construction Documents and/or Kitchen CD’s after approval by Landlord (“Changes”), Landlord shall diligently prepare revisions to the drawings consistent with Tenant’s request. Promptly upon completion of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost, if any, which will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such change, addition or deletion. Tenant, within three (3) business days, shall notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such Change. In the absence of such written authorization, Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Premises disregarding the requested Change. To the extent that the cost of performing

such revisions cause the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work to exceed the Maximum Amount, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the such excess in the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work associated with such Changes within thirty (30) days of approving the Changes.

9.Claims. To the extent that any claims (“Claims”) by the Contractor cause the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work to exceed the Maximum Amount, Tenant shall pay for such excess within thirty (30) days of Billing. Claims shall include any amounts properly due to the Contractor under the Contract based upon the claims of the Contractor under the Contract, provided however, that the Claims shall not include any amounts arising from the default or negligence of Landlord, or Landlord’s agents or employees, under the Contract.

10.Performance of Landlord’s Work. Following approval of the Construction Documents and Xxxxxx’s written authorization to proceed with Tenant Improvement Work, Landlord shall cause the Tenant Improvement Work to be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and, in all material respects, in accordance with the approved Construction Documents. Following approval of the Kitchen CDs and Xxxxxx’s written authorization to proceed with the Landlord’s Kitchen Work, Landlord shall cause the Landlord’s Kitchen Work to be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, based on the agreed-upon construction timeline, in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and, in all material respects, in accordance with the approved Kitchen CDs.

a.Except as set forth in this Section 11, any portion of Landlord’s Contribution which exceeds the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work (the “Remaining Portion of Landlord’s Contribution”) shall accrue to the sole benefit of Landlord, it being agreed that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, offset, abatement or payment with respect thereto.

b.Requisitions. If there is any Remaining Portion of Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant may submit Requisitions, as hereinafter defined, to Landlord to pay for the costs (collectively, “Other Permitted Costs”) for Tenant’s Security System Work, telephone and data wiring throughout the Premises and reasonable fees for Xxxxxx’s third-party project manager, as follows:

Chapter 254, Section 32 (“Lien Waivers”). Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to each Requisition in order to verify the amount thereof. Tenant shall submit Requisition(s) no more often than monthly.

(2)On the condition that Tenant is not in default of its obligations under the Lease at the time that Landlord receives a Requisition, Landlord shall pay the amount properly due under such Requisition with forty-five (45) days of receipt of such Requisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord declines to pay Tenant on account of any Requisition based upon Tenant then being in default of its obligations under the Lease, and if Tenant subsequently cures such default, then Tenant shall have the right to resubmit such Requisition, and Landlord shall pay the amount due on account of such Requisition, provided that the Lease is then in full force and effect and all of the conditions to payment on account of such Requisition are then satisfied.

(3)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained: (i) Landlord shall have no obligation to advance funds on account of Landlord’s Contribution more than once per month; (ii) if any Tenant’s Contractor (including subcontractors of any tier, or materialman) records a Notice of Contract which is not discharged or bonded over by, on or behalf of, Tenant, Landlord shall thereafter have the right to have the relevant portion of Landlord’s Contribution paid directly to such lienor upon receipt of requisite documentation from such lienor evidencing payment to be due and owing, only upon Landlord notifying Tenant in writing of its intent to pay such portion of Landlord’s Contribution directly to such contractors and Tenant failing within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice to (x) bond over or discharge such lien, as a matter of record or

(y) pay such lienor (and provide evidence of such payment to Landlord) the amounts claimed owing to such lienor; (iii) Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any portion of Landlord’s Contribution with respect to any Requisition submitted after July 15, 2021 (the “Outside Requisition Date”).
