LEASE dated as of April 22, 2009, by and between PDM 850 Unit, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (hereinafter called “
Landlord”), and Alkermes, Inc., a Pennsylvania
corporation (hereinafter called “
Tenant”).
Article 1.
Section 1.01. Premises. Upon and subject to the conditions and limitations
hereinafter set forth, Landlord does hereby lease and demise unto Tenant on an “as is” basis
(except as otherwise expressly set forth herein) a portion of each of the lower level, first
(including the main lobby and entryway serving the Premises), second, and third floors of a
building with an address of 850 and 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx and constructed
substantially in accordance with the specifications attached as Exhibit 1.01-3, subject to
reasonably equivalent substitutions for materials described therein (such building being referred
to herein as the “Building”), as such demised premises is more particularly described on
Exhibit 1.01-1 (the “Premises”), together with the right to use, in common with
others, the walkways, driveways, parking areas, loading areas, and utility lines (including
telecommunications lines) serving the Premises. The parties agree that the rentable area for the
Premises is 100,235 rentable square feet, as measured in accordance with the measurement standard
described on Exhibit 1.01-4, attached.
The Building is a condominium unit within the Reservoir Xxxxx Primary Condominium (the
“Condominium”), a condominium created by Master Deed dated February 26, 2007, recorded in
Book 49037, Page 229 of the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds, as amended. The Building and its
undivided interest in the common elements of the Condominium are referred to herein as the
“Property” and are more particularly described on Exhibit 1.01-2. This Lease, and
Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises, are subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of
agreements, easements and restrictions of record applicable to the Property, all of which Tenant
shall perform and observe insofar as the same are applicable to the Premises; provided, however,
that Tenant shall not be bound by any easements or restrictions made after the date of this Lease
that materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights and obligations under this Lease unless and
until Landlord has obtained Tenant’s prior written consent. Landlord hereby represents and
warrants that none of the existing agreements, easements and restrictions of record prohibit or
restrict use of the Premises for the Permitted Uses.
The Premises exclude common areas and facilities of the Building, including without limitation
exterior walls, roofs, the common stairways and stairwells, the parking garage, elevators and
elevator xxxxx, fan rooms, electric and telephone closets (other
- 1 -
than those exclusively serving the Premises, if any), janitor closets, freight elevators, and
pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures serving other parts of the Property
(exclusively or in common) and other common areas and facilities from time to time designated as
such by Landlord; provided that, in any event, the designation of such common areas and facilities
does not adversely affect the Premises, Tenant’s use of the Premises, or access to the Premises in
more than a de minimis manner. If the Premises include less than the entire rentable area of any
floor, then the Premises also exclude the common corridors, common elevator lobby and common
toilets located on such floor.
Section 1.02. Special Appurtenant Rights.
(a) Tenant shall, subject to reasonable closures for repairs and the like, casualty, and
condemnation, have the appurtenant, non-exclusive right, in common with others, to use the common
fitness center (subject only to nominal charges for use of basic services) and cafeteria (with
associated patio area) located at the Building, in each case subject to reasonable rules
established by Landlord from time to time pursuant to Section 5.04 of this Lease, and which
services shall, subject to the matters set forth above, be available throughout the term of this
Lease (the facilities referred to in this paragraph, collectively, the “Amenities”).
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord intends to retain a third-party vendor for the
operation of the cafeteria in the Building. If the service provided by any third-party vendor
operating the cafeteria from time to time is inconsistent with first-class standards for a suburban
office, laboratory and research and development park in more than a de minimus manner, Tenant shall
have the right to give Landlord written notice of such event with sufficient detail for Landlord to
investigate the complaint. At the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall exercise its right to
terminate the contract of such vendor, in which event Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to
replace the applicable vendor with a substitute vendor experienced in operating similar facilities
in first class suburban office, laboratory and research and development buildings, subject to
Tenant’s rights under the immediately preceding paragraph. Landlord shall consult with Tenant in
the process of making menu selections for the cafeteria.
(b) So long as Landlord or an entity controlled by, under common control with, or controlling
Landlord is the owner of the property known as 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx (also
known as “Healthpoint”), Tenant shall be entitled to the benefit of any discounted rates
for the fitness facilities located at Healthpoint, if any, that are negotiated between Landlord and
the owner of Healthpoint for the benefit of tenants at the Building.
(c) Tenant shall have the appurtenant, non-exclusive right, in common with others, to
reasonably access any Building communication system serving the Premises (which access shall be
reasonably coordinated and facilitated by Landlord) and the exclusive right and obligation to use
and maintain the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning units installed on the roof and
exclusively serving the second and third floors of the Premises, together with the rights to use
the roof further described in Article 21, below.
- 2 -
(d) Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant during Tenant’s design of the Finish Work to identify
an appropriate portion or portions of the parking garage beneath the Building in which Tenant may
install a pH neutralization system and other lab equipment and systems serving the Premises (such
areas collectively being referred to as the “PH Rooms”). In no event shall the PH Rooms
exceed 750 square feet in gross floor area in the aggregate. Landlord and Tenant shall enter into
a written instrument identifying the location of the PH Rooms upon determining their location, in
which event such areas shall be deemed to be appurtenant to the Premises and available for Tenant’s
exclusive use. If the location of the PH Rooms, as agreed to by Landlord, results in the loss of
one or more parking spaces serving the Building, then such eliminated parking space(s) shall be
counted towards Tenant’s parking allocation under Section 20.10 of this Lease.
(e) Tenant shall, subject to reasonable closures for maintenance and repairs (for which
Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice where feasible), casualty, and
condemnation, have the appurtenant, exclusive right to use the two (2) elevators identified as
“Tenant Exclusive Elevators” on Exhibit 1.01-1 for access and egress to the
Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for casualty or condemnation and subject to the
provisions of Section 3.02, at least one of the Tenant Exclusive Elevators shall be available 24
hours per day, 365 days per year during the Term.
Section 1.03. Term Commencement. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that the
Premises shall be delivered by Landlord in two phases: the first and third floor of the Premises
and associated basement areas (the “Office Portion”) shall be delivered first, and the
second floor of the Premises and associated basement areas shall be delivered second (the “Lab
Portion”; either the Office Portion or the Lab Portion being referred to herein as a
“Portion”).
(a) The term of this Lease for each Portion of the Premises shall commence on the earlier of
(i) the Delivery Date (as defined below), or (ii) the date Tenant enters into possession of all or
any substantial portion of such Portion for the conduct of its business (for the purposes of this
Section 1.03, “conduct of its business” shall not include installation of furniture, fixtures,
equipment, or the like). The date of commencement for each Portion as so determined is hereinafter
referred to as the “Commencement Date.” The term shall expire at 11:59 p.m. on the date
(the “Expiration Date”) that is the last day of the calendar month in which the 10th
anniversary of the initial Rent Commencement Date (as defined in Section 2.01) occurs, unless
extended or sooner terminated as hereinafter provided and shall include the period between the
Commencement Date and the initial Rent Commencement Date. Landlord will provide Tenant with at
least fourteen (14) days prior notice of each Delivery Date. If the Delivery Date designated in
such notice does not occur on the initially designated date, Landlord shall keep Tenant informed of
the anticipated Delivery Date and shall be required to give Tenant at least two (2) business days
prior notice of the applicable Delivery Date as so extended.
The “Delivery Date” shall mean the date on which Landlord Substantially Completes the
Landlord Work (as defined in Exhibit 7.02) for a Portion of the Premises and delivers such
Portion to Tenant. The “Estimated Delivery Date” means December 1, 2009, with respect to
the Office Portion and February 1, 2010, with respect to the Lab Portion, as such dates are
extended for Tenant Delay
- 3 -
and matters described in Section 20.14. Landlord’s failure to Substantially Complete the
Finish Work and deliver the Premises on or before the applicable Estimated Delivery Date, for any
reason, shall not give rise to any liability of Landlord hereunder, shall not constitute a
Landlord’s default, shall not affect the validity of this Lease, and shall have no effect on the
beginning or end of the term of this Lease as otherwise determined hereunder or on Tenant’s
obligations associated therewith except that:
(i) if the Commencement Date for the Office Portion occurs more than 30 days after the
Estimated Delivery Date for the Office Portion as it may be extended, then, as liquidated damages
Tenant shall receive an abatement of Base Rent allocable to the Office Portion equal to (x) one day
for each day following such 30-day period through the 60th day following the Estimated Delivery
Date with respect to the Office Portion, and (y) two days for each day thereafter until the
Commencement Date for the Office Portion occurs.
(ii) if the Commencement Date for the Lab Portion occurs more than 60 days after the Estimated
Delivery Date for the Lab Portion as it may be extended, then, as liquidated damages Tenant shall
receive an abatement of Base Rent allocable to the Lab Portion equal to (i) one day for each day
following such sixty-day period through the 90th day following the Estimated Delivery Date with
respect to the Lab Portion, and (ii) two days for each day thereafter until the Commencement Date
for the Lab Portion occurs; and
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Commencement Date for the Office
Portion fails to occur within 135 days after the Estimated Delivery Date for the Office Portion,
then Tenant shall have the one-time option to elect either to (A) terminate this Lease or (B)
complete all of the Landlord Work at its sole cost and expense (except as set forth below) and in
compliance with Article 8 hereof, in either case upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Landlord; provided, however, that if the Commencement Date for the Office Portion occurs within
such thirty (30) day period, then such election shall be of no force or effect. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if Tenant makes the election set forth in clause (B), above, then
Tenant may apply any unused Finish Work Allowance towards any work undertaken pursuant to clause
(B) pursuant to (and subject to the provisions of) Exhibit 7.02 and shall, to the extent
not reimbursed through use of the Finish Work Allowance, have the right to reimbursement by
Landlord (on 30 days prior notice) for Tenant’s reasonable third party costs and expenses to
complete such Landlord Work to the extent exceeding the amount of Excess Finish Work costs that
Tenant would otherwise have incurred in the completion of such Landlord Work by Landlord; and
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Commencement Date for the Lab
Portion fails to occur within 135 days after the Estimated Delivery Date for the Lab Portion, then
Tenant shall have the one time option to elect either to (A) terminate this Lease solely with
respect to the Lab Portion of the Premises, or (B) complete the Landlord Work for the Lab Portion
at its sole cost and expense (except as set forth below) and in compliance with Article 8 hereof,
in either case upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord; provided, however, that if
the Commencement Date for the Lab Portion occurs within such thirty (30) day
- 4 -
period, then such election shall be of no force or effect. In the event that Tenant makes the
election set forth in (A), above, then the Lab Portion (which the parties agree consists of 33,443
rentable square feet) shall be deemed to be removed from the Premises and the Base Rent, Tenant’s
Pro Rata Share, Finish Work Allowance and any other rights under this Lease that are expressly
derived on a per-square-foot basis shall be adjusted accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, if Tenant makes the election set forth in clause (B), above, then Tenant may apply
any unused Finish Work Allowance towards any work undertaken pursuant to clause (B) to the extent
elected by Tenant pursuant to (and subject to the provisions of) Exhibit 7.02 and shall, to
the extent not reimbursed through use of the Finish Work Allowance, have the right to reimbursement
by Landlord (on 30 days prior notice) for Tenant’s reasonable third party costs and expenses to
complete such Landlord Work to the extent exceeding the amount of Excess Finish Work costs that
Tenant would otherwise have incurred in the completion of such Landlord Work by Landlord.
(v) In connection with the exercise of this Lease, Landlord has provided Tenant with a
guaranty from The Prudential Insurance Company of America, acting solely on behalf of or for the
benefit of its insurance company separate account PRISA II, in the form attached as Exhibit 1.03.
The remedies set forth in this Section 1.03(a) are Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies, at
law or in equity, with respect to Landlord’s timely delivery of the Premises and timely Substantial
Completion of the Landlord Work.
(b) Tenant and Landlord agree to execute an agreement in recordable form identifying the
actual Commencement Dates, the Rent Commencement Dates, and the Expiration Date, but a failure to
execute such an agreement shall not affect the commencement or expiration of the term of this
Lease.

If any Rent Commencement Date is other than the first day of the month, then, with respect to
the partial month following such Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the
applicable Rent Commencement Date a pro-rated share of the Base Rent that would have otherwise been
payable for such month (based on the number of days remaining in such month) had such Rent
Commencement Date occurred on the first day of such month.
Section 2.02. Additional Rent for Operating Expenses and Taxes.
- 6 -
(a) Commencing on the Commencement Date for each Portion of the Premises, Tenant shall pay as
Additional Rent to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes (as defined below) and Tenant’s Pro
Rata Share of all Operating Expenses (as defined below). If at any time within any calendar year,
less than 95% of the rentable space of the Building or Property is leased and occupied under
agreements for which the lease term has commenced, Operating Expenses that vary with such occupancy
for that calendar year during the term of this Lease shall be computed and adjusted upward so that
Operating Expenses shall at all times equal the greater of (i) actual Operating Expenses or (ii) an
amount extrapolated as if the Building or Property, as applicable, were ninety-five (95%) leased.
Additional Rent computed under this Section 2.02 shall be prorated should this Lease commence
or terminate before: (i) the end of any fiscal tax year for that portion related to Taxes; or (ii)
the end of any calendar year for that portion related to Operating Expenses. Tenant shall make
monthly payments of Additional Rent, in advance, on the applicable Commencement Date and the first
of each month thereafter equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual amount of such Additional Rent
reasonably projected by Landlord to be due from Tenant (pro-rated for any partial month at the
beginning or end of the term) from time to time. Tenant’s monthly payments may be reasonably
revised by Landlord from time to time so that Tenant’s aggregate monthly payments shall equal the
Additional Rent then projected to be due for the year in question. A final accounting and payment
for each real estate tax and operating period shall be made within thirty (30) days after written
notice from Landlord of the exact amount of such Additional Rent for the fiscal tax year or
calendar year in question (each, a “Reconciliation Notice ”), which notice Landlord shall
endeavor to deliver to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal tax year or
calendar year, as applicable, and, in any event, Landlord shall deliver within 270 days after the
end of each fiscal tax year or calendar year, as applicable. Landlord’s statements of Additional
Rent for Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant unless disputed
within six months after the respective year-end statements are issued. In the event that the
Additional Rent due with respect such period is finally determined to be less than the Additional
Rent paid by Tenant on account of Landlord’s projection of Additional Rent, Landlord shall credit
the difference against the next installment of Rent coming due under this Lease or, if no such
installment is coming due, then Landlord shall promptly refund such difference. In the event Taxes
for the Premises, based upon which Tenant shall have paid Additional Rent, are subsequently reduced
or abated, Tenant shall be entitled to receive its allocable share of the amount abated, provided
that the amount of the rebate allocable to Tenant shall in no event exceed the amount of Additional
Rent paid by Tenant for such fiscal year on account of Taxes under this Section 2.02, and further
provided the rebate allocable to Tenant shall be reduced by its allocable share of the reasonable
cost of obtaining such reduction or abatement not otherwise paid by Tenant. The obligations of
this paragraph shall survive the expiration of the Lease.
“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share” is calculated by dividing the rentable square foot area of
the Premises by the rentable square foot area of the Building, as of the date of the computation.
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share is initially 37.1% for the Office Portion and 55.7% for the entire Premises
and is subject to adjustment if the rentable square footages of the Premises changes on account of
any
- 7 -
amendment to the Lease or the Building changes on account of any remeasurement, reconstruction
or expansion by Landlord. The Building consists of 180,039 rentable square feet, subject to
adjustment pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(b) “Operating Expenses” for the purpose of this Section shall mean:
(1) All expenses incurred by the Landlord or its agents which shall be directly related to
employment of day and night supervisors, janitors, handymen, engineers, mechanics, electricians,
plumbers, porters, cleaners, accounting and management personnel, and other personnel (including

unemployment and similar taxes, workmen’s compensation, insurance, disability benefits, pensions,
hospitalization, retirement plans and group insurance, uniforms and working clothes and the
cleaning thereof, and expenses imposed on the Landlord or its agents pursuant to any collective
bargaining agreement), for services in connection with the operation, management, repair,

management fees for the Property shall not exceed the greater of $75,000 or three percent (3%) of
the gross income from tenants of the Property (including Base Rent and all Additional Rent)
computed on an annual basis plus reimbursements;
(5) Insurance premiums in connection with the Operation of the Property, including without
limitation for such insurance coverages and amounts as Landlord or its mortgagees may require from
time to time;
(6) The costs of plowing and snow removal, maintaining landscaping and storm water drainage

(7) Amounts paid to independent contractors for services, materials and supplies furnished for
the Operation of the Property;
(8) Condominium assessments and charges;
(9) All other expenses incurred in connection with the Operation of the Property, including
expenditures for maintenance and repairs that are classified as capital expenditures in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and for capital improvements
and replacements that (A) will, in Landlord’s reasonable estimate, result in a reduction in
Operating Expenses payable by Tenant (but only to the extent of such reduction) or (B) are required
by changes in law occurring after the first Delivery Date to occur or enforcement of laws not
generally occurring on such Delivery Date) to the extent not otherwise excluded as Operating
Expenses, phone charges, travel (to the extent related to the performance of services included in
Operating Expenses), costs of customary waste and recyclables removal, security and life safety
systems testing, common area electricity and cleaning, and utilities, any expenses in the nature of
common area charges for operation, maintenance and repair of driveways, parking garages, if any,
and other facilities or services shared with other buildings or premises, and any condominium
common expenses assessed against a condominium unit comprising the Premises. Any capital
expenditures included in Operating Expenses pursuant to this paragraph shall be amortized on a
straight line basis over the useful life of the item in question, as determined by Landlord using
generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, together with interest at
Landlord’s actual interest rate incurred in financing such capital improvements, or, if no part of
such expenditure is financed, at an imputed interest rate equal to the prime rate of interest as
reported by Bank of America, N.A., plus three (3%) percent; and
(10) Costs incurred in connection with the operation of the common fitness room and cafeteria,
except to the extent covered by fees for use of such facilities.
(c) Operating Expenses shall be computed on an accrual basis and shall be determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. They must be
actually incurred, but may be incurred directly or by way of reimbursement, and shall include taxes
applicable thereto. The following shall be excluded from Operating Expenses:
(1) Salaries and related benefits or any portion thereof for officers and executives of the

caused by Tenant or any party for whom Tenant is legally responsible.
(20) That portion of employee expenses allocable to work that is not for the benefit of the
Property or common areas and facilities serving the same; if employees work at more than one
location, their compensation and other labor costs shall be properly allocated.

(25) Costs arising from Landlord’s charitable contributions not to exceed $500 per year (such
amount to be increased, but never decreased, annually in proportion to any increase in the Consumer

$15,000 in any single lease year (such amount to be increased, but never decreased, annually in
proportion to any increase in the CPI).
(d) “Taxes” means all taxes, assessments, betterments, excises, user fees imposed by
governmental authorities, and all other governmental charges and fees of any kind or nature, or
impositions or agreed payments in lieu thereof or voluntary payments made in connection with the
provision of governmental services or improvements of benefit to the Building or the Property),
assessed or imposed against the Building or the Property (including without limitation any personal
property taxes levied on such property or on fixtures or equipment used in connection therewith),
other than a federal or state income tax of general application. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, Taxes shall exclude (a) any land acquisition costs, and any other fee, cost or tax
(other than increases in real property taxes resulting from reassessments of the Property)
associated with the development or construction of the Property and (b) any interest or penalties
for late payments to the extent relating to a period in which Tenant was not in default of its

assessments, whether or not paid in installments, shall be included in Taxes in any tax year as if
the betterment or assessment were paid in installments over the longest period permitted by law,
together with the interest thereon charged by the assessing authority for the payment of such

If during the term of this Lease the present system of ad valorem taxation of property shall
be changed so that, in lieu of or in addition to the whole or any part of such ad valorem tax there
shall be assessed, levied or imposed on such property or on Landlord any kind or nature of federal,
state, county, municipal or other governmental capital levy, income, sales, franchise, excise or
similar tax, assessment, levy, charge or fee (as distinct from the federal and state income tax in
effect on the date of this Lease) measured by or based in whole or in part upon building valuation,
mortgage valuation, rents, services or any other incidents, benefits or measures of real property
or real property operations, then any and all of such taxes, assessments, levies, charges and fees
shall be included within the term of Taxes, but only to the extent that the same would be payable
if the Property were the only property of Landlord. Taxes shall also include expenses, including
reasonable fees of attorneys, appraisers and other consultants, incurred in connection with any
efforts to obtain abatements or reduction or to assure maintenance of Taxes for any year wholly or
partially included in the term of this
- 12 -
Lease, whether or not successful and whether or not such efforts involved filing of actual
abatement applications or initiation of formal proceedings.
(e) Tenant shall have the right for a period of ninety (90) days (the “Audit Period”)
following its receipt of Landlord’s statement of Additional Rent due on account of Operating
Expenses to examine and copy Landlord’s books and records concerning Operating Expenses for the
calendar year covered by such statement in the offices of the property manager or another location
reasonably designated by Landlord in the greater Boston area, so long as Tenant pays any amount
billed by Landlord on account of Additional Rent without protest (but subject to Tenant’s right to
recover any overpayments pursuant to this paragraph). Tenant’s audit may be conducted by its
employees or its designated accountants, provided that the accountants must be employed on a
regular fee for services basis and not on a contingency fee basis. If, by notice to Landlord given
after such examination but during the Audit Period (which notice shall be accompanied by
documentation evidencing the results of Tenant’s audit to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction),
Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent for Operating Expenses shown on the statement, then
Tenant may request that the amount of Additional Rent for Operating Expenses for the year in
question be determined by an audit conducted by a certified public accountant reasonably selected
by both parties, provided that if the parties are unable so to agree on an accountant within ten
(10) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, then within twenty (20) days after Tenant’s notice is
given Tenant may submit the dispute for determination by an arbitration conducted by a single
arbitrator in the Boston Office of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in
accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall be selected by the
AAA and shall be a certified public accountant with at least ten (10) years of experience in
auditing mixed use office, laboratory and research and development buildings in the suburban Boston
area. The cost of the accountant selected by both parties, and the arbitrator, if applicable,
shall be shared equally by the parties. Tenant and each person reviewing Landlord’s books and
records or participating in the arbitration shall agree in an instrument prepared by Landlord that
all information obtained from Landlord’s books and records shall be kept confidential and used only
for the purpose of determining amounts properly due under this Lease. If the Additional Rent due
is finally determined to be less than the Additional Rent paid by Tenant on account of Landlord’s
calculation of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall either promptly refund to Tenant the difference
or credit same against Rent next due from Tenant. If the Additional Rent due was less than
ninety-five percent (95%) of the Additional Rent paid by Tenant on account of Landlord’s
calculation of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable third-party
costs of reviewing Landlord’s books and records, but in any event not to exceed $4,000 (such amount
to be increased, but never decreased, annually in proportion to any increase in the CPI).
(f) Operating Expenses which are incurred jointly for the benefit of the Building and another
building or premises shall be allocated between the Building and the other building or premises in
accordance with the ratio of their respective rentable areas calculated using a consistent
methodology, unless Landlord reasonably determines that the other building or premises is used for
a purpose materially different than the Building or that the Operating Expense in question results
from a service provided or used in a materially disproportionate manner, in which case the affected
cost items shall be allocated on a reasonable basis by
- 13 -
Landlord. Landlord may elect to allocate Operating Expenses separately among tenants with
different use categories in the Building from time to time based on such factors as the Landlord
reasonably determines (rather than on a proportionate basis based on square feet) if Landlord
reasonably determines it is necessary to fairly allocate the Operating Expenses. If the Building
and the land appurtenant thereto are not assessed as a separate tax parcel, then real estate taxes
shall be allocated between the Building and the balance of the tax parcel based on the factors
taken into account by the municipal tax assessor or such other reasonable method as Landlord may
elect, which may be based on the relative square footages of the buildings and their use or may be
in accordance with the ratio of their respective fair market values. In the event of a dispute
concerning the allocation of Operating Expenses or Taxes, then the matter shall be submitted by
Landlord and Tenant for resolution by arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Section 2.02(e).
Section 2.03. Payment of Rent. The term “Additional Rent” shall mean all
amounts due under Section 2.02 for Operating Expenses and Taxes, and all other amounts (except Base
Rent) to be paid by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease, including
without limitation payments to Landlord for reimbursement of any costs expended upon an Event of
Default by Tenant. The term “Rent” shall mean Base Rent and Additional Rent. All payments
of Rent shall be made without set-off, deduction or offset except as expressly provided in this
Lease. All payments of Rent shall be made to the Landlord at c/o Xxxxx Xxxxxx Management, Xxx
Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Xxxxx Xxxxxx, or as may be otherwise directed
by the Landlord in writing, which may include a direction to pay by wire transfer to an account
specified by Landlord. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall be
absolute, unconditional, and independent and shall not be discharged or otherwise affected by any
law or regulation now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, or any other restriction on Tenant’s
use, or, except as provided in Article 11, any casualty or taking, or any failure by Landlord to
perform or other occurrence; and, except as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant assumes the
risk of the foregoing and waives all rights now or hereafter existing to quit or surrender the
Premises or any part thereof, to terminate or cancel this Lease, or to assert any defense in the
nature of constructive eviction to any action seeking to recover rent. Subject to the provisions
of this Lease, however, Tenant shall have the right to injunctive relief or to seek judgments for
direct money damages occasioned by Landlord’s breach of its Lease covenants.
Section 2.04. Rent from Real Property. It is intended that all Rent payable by Tenant
to Landlord, which includes all sums, charges, or amounts of whatever nature to be paid by Tenant
to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, shall qualify as “rents from real
property” within the meaning of both Sections 512(b)(3) and 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations promulgated
thereunder (the “Regulations”). If Landlord, in its sole discretion, determines that there
is any risk that all or part of any Rent shall not qualify as “rents from real property” for the
purposes of Sections 512(b)(3) or 856(d) of the Code and the Regulations, Tenant agrees (i) to
cooperate with Landlord by entering into such amendment or amendments to this Lease as Landlord
reasonably deems necessary to qualify all Rent as “rents from real property,” and (ii) to permit an
assignment of this Lease; provided, however, that any adjustments required under this section shall
be made so as to produce the equivalent (in economic terms) Rent as payable before the adjustment.
- 14 -
Section 2.05. Security Deposit. On or before April 27, 2009, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord as security for the performance of the obligations of Tenant hereunder a letter of credit
in the initial amount of $1,000,000 (the “Letter of Credit Amount”) in accordance with this
Section 2.05 (as renewed, replaced, increased and/or reduced pursuant to this Section 2.05, the
“Letter of Credit”). Tenant’s failure to timely deliver the Letter of Credit to Landlord,
or increase the amount of the Letter of Credit as required under this Section 2.05, at any time
pursuant to this Section 2.05 shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease, without any
notice or cure period under Article 14. The Letter of Credit (i) shall be irrevocable and shall be
issued by a commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord that has an office for presentment in
the City of Waltham or City of Boston, in the form attached as Exhibit 2.05 or such other
substantially similar form as is reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) shall require only the
presentation to the issuer of a certificate of the holder of the Letter of Credit stating that
Landlord is entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this Lease,
(iii) shall be payable to Landlord or its successors in interest as the Landlord and shall be
freely transferable without cost to Landlord, any such successor or any lender holding a collateral
assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease, (iv) shall be for an initial term of not less than
one year and contain a provision that such term shall be automatically renewed for successive
one-year periods unless the issuer shall, at least 45 days prior to the scheduled expiration date,
give Landlord notice of such non-renewal, and (v) shall otherwise be in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord acknowledges that, as of the date of this Lease, Bank
of America is an approved issuer of the Letter of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term
of the Letter of Credit for the final period shall be for a term ending not earlier than the date
sixty (60) days after the last day of the Term. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may be required
to pledge the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any lender holding a collateral assignment of
Landlord’s interest in the Lease and agrees to provide Landlord with such documentation as Landlord
may reasonably request, and to cooperate with Landlord as is necessary, to evidence the consent to
such pledge by the issuer of the Letter of Credit.
(a) The Letter of Credit Amount shall be increased by Tenant (via amendment to the
then-existing Letter of Credit or by supplying Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit) by the
amount of $1,500,000 if Tenant fails, at any time during the term of this Lease, to meet the
Financial Test (as hereinafter defined). The “Financial Test” shall mean that Tenant has
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, as determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, consistently applied, equal to at least $50,000,000 in United States
dollars. If, at any time after the Letter of Credit is increased pursuant to the foregoing, Tenant
subsequently meets the Financial Test for three complete calendar quarters in a row and reasonably
evidences the same to Landlord, then, provided that Tenant is not then in default beyond applicable
notice or cure periods and no Bankruptcy Event (as defined below) is then in effect, Tenant shall
be entitled to reduce the Letter of Credit by the amount of $1,500,000 (but to an amount equal to
no less than $1,000,000) until such time, if any, that Tenant subsequently fails to meet the
Financial Test. A “Bankruptcy Event” shall mean that Tenant files a voluntary petition in
bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, shall file any petition or answer
seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, dissolution or similar relief under any
present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or other relief for debtors, or shall seek, or consent, or acquiesce in the appointment
of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant of all or any substantial part of their respective
- 15 -
properties, or of the Premises, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or any court enters an order, judgment or decree approving a petition filed against
Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, dissolution or similar relief under
any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or other relief for debtors.
Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit in part or for its full amount,
as Landlord may elect (i) if an Event of Default is then continuing (or if Tenant has failed to
timely pay rent or perform any of its other obligations under the Lease and transmittal of a
default notice or running of any cure period is barred or tolled by applicable law), (ii) if, not
less than 30 days before the scheduled expiration of the Letter of Credit, Tenant has not delivered
to Landlord a new Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 2.05 (which failure shall be
deemed a default without notice or cure period) or (iii) if the credit rating of the long-term debt
of the issuer of the Letter of Credit (according to Xxxxx’x or similar national rating agency) is
downgraded to a grade below investment rate), or if the issuer of the Letter of Credit shall enter
into any supervisory agreement with any governmental authority, or if the issuer of the Letter of
Credit shall fail to meet any capital requirements imposed by applicable law. Landlord may, but
shall not be obligated to, apply the amount so drawn to the extent necessary to cure an Event of
Default under the Lease and/or make any payments due to Landlord hereunder on account of such Event
of Default including without limitation any unpaid Rent, any damages arising from a termination of
this Lease in accordance with its terms, and for any damages arising from any rejection of this
Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding commenced by or against Tenant. Any amount drawn in excess of the
amount applied by Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be held by Landlord
as a security deposit for the performance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder. Said security
deposit may be mingled with other funds of Landlord, and no fiduciary relationship shall be created
with respect to such deposit, nor shall Landlord be liable to pay Tenant interest thereon. If
Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not
be obliged to, apply the security deposit to the extent necessary to cure the Event of Default
and/or make any payments due to Landlord hereunder on account of such Event of Default. After any
such application by Landlord of the Letter of Credit or security deposit, Tenant shall reinstate
the Letter of Credit to the amount then required to be maintained hereunder, upon demand (and, upon
such reinstatement, Landlord shall return any cash security deposit then being held by Landlord to
Tenant). Within forty-five (45) days after the expiration or sooner termination of the Term the
Letter of Credit and any security deposit, to the extent not applied, shall be returned to the
Tenant, without interest. For purposes of this Section 2.05, an Event of Default shall also include
any default that is prevented or delayed from ripening into an Event of Default due to Landlord’s
inability to give any required notice or the tolling of any grace or cure period caused by any stay
or injunction arising from the bankruptcy of Tenant.
In the event of a sale of the Property or lease, conveyance or transfer of the Property,
Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security to the transferee (“New Landlord”) and
Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security;
and Tenant agrees to look to the New Landlord solely for the return of said security. The
provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security to a New
Landlord. Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber
- 16 -
or attempt to assign or encumber the Letter of Credit or the monies deposited herein as
security, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any assignment,
encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance
Article 3.
Utility Services
Section 3.01. Electricity. From and after the Commencement Date for each Portion of
the Premises, Tenant agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, as Additional Rent, all charges for
electricity consumed in the applicable Portion of the Premises (or by any special facilities
serving the Premises). Tenant will comply with all contracts relating to any such services.
Tenant’s charges for such utility usage shall be based upon Tenant’s actual usage as determined by
Landlord’s reading of check-meters serving the Premises provided as part of the Finish Work.
Tenant shall make monthly payments of Additional Rent on account of electricity, in advance, on the
applicable Commencement Date and the first of each month thereafter equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of
the annual amount of such Additional Rent reasonably projected by Landlord, based upon prior usage
at the relevant building or as projected by Landlord’s engineer, to be due from Tenant (pro-rated
for any partial month at the beginning or end of the term) from time to time. Tenant’s monthly
payments may be reasonably revised by Landlord from time to time so that Tenant’s aggregate monthly
payments shall equal the Additional Rent then projected to be due for the year in question.
Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement showing Tenant’s actual usage of electricity based
on the reading of Tenant’s check-meters no less often than annually. If the Additional Rent due
for electricity is less than the Additional Rent for electricity paid by Tenant on account of
Landlord’s calculation of estimated electrical charges, Landlord shall either promptly refund to
Tenant the difference or credit same against Rent next due from Tenant. If the Additional Rent due
for electricity is more than Landlord’s calculation of estimated electrical charges, Tenant shall
pay such amount to Landlord within 30 days following receipt of the xxxx therefor. If such usage
is not separately or check-metered from time to time, such usage and billing shall be based upon
the reasonable estimate of Landlord’s consulting engineer. If Tenant is directed by Landlord to
make payments directly to the utility company for separately metered electricity, then Tenant shall
pay such bills directly to the utility company, Tenant shall contract directly for electric
service, and shall pay all bills for such utility service as and when due. Tenant shall pay all
costs associated with obtaining the electricity service, including costs for equipment
installation, maintenance and repair; exit fees, stranded cost charges, and the like.
Section 3.02. Other Landlord Services. Landlord shall provide Tenant with access to
the Premises, the Building and the parking areas serving the Building 24 hours per day, 365 days
per year, subject to matters described in Section 20.14 and Landlord’s reasonable security
measures, and subject to Landlord’s right to prohibit, restrict or limit access to the Building or
the Premises in emergency situations if Landlord determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it
is necessary or advisable to do so in order to prevent or protect against death or injury to
persons or damage to property. Landlord agrees to furnish to the Premises the services, and for
the
- 17 -
periods, set forth on Exhibit 3.02 (Tenant paying for such services as Operating
Expenses). All other services necessary for the use, occupancy or operation of the Premises, or to
maintain the same in good condition and repair (except to the extent set forth in Section 7.01,
below), shall be provided by Tenant. In the event of an unanticipated maintenance or repair cost
that is incurred by Landlord as an Operating Expense, Landlord may notify Tenant upon determining
the maintenance or repair is needed and, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the reasonable
cost thereof to Landlord within thirty (30) days after request in addition to the estimated monthly
payments for Operating Expenses under Section 2.02 and the additional payment shall be credited
against the total amount of Operating Expenses due under Section 2.02 for the year in question.
Landlord shall not be required to provide services which exceed the capacity of the building
systems serving the Premises and shall not be required to act (or prevented from acting) in any
manner which might create unsafe conditions, violate applicable legal requirements, or be
inconsistent with standards for the operation of comparable institutionally-financed mixed use
office, laboratory and research and development buildings. In any event, subject to Section 7.06
below, Landlord’s obligation to provide such services shall be subject to interruption due to any
act or omission of Tenant (including a failure to pay for utilities), accident, to the making of
repairs, alterations or improvements (other than those due to the willful misconduct of Landlord),
to labor difficulties, to trouble in obtaining fuel, electricity, service or supplies from the
sources from which they are usually obtained for such building, governmental restraints, or to any
cause beyond the Landlord’s reasonable control. In the event of any such disruption or
interruption (other than an act or omission of Tenant) prior to the time when Tenant is responsible
for providing such services, Landlord will use diligent efforts to restore the services, or to
cause the services to be restored, as promptly as reasonably possible. In no event shall Landlord
be liable for any interruption or delay in any of the above services for any of such causes except
as provided in Section 7.06.
Normal Building hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday 8
a.m. to 1 p.m., exclusive of state and federal holidays and such other days as Landlord may
reasonably designate as Building holidays (e.g. the day after Thanksgiving).
Section 3.03. Facilities Management Rights.
(a) So long as an Event of Default does not then exist, Tenant shall have the right to assume
all or any portion of the on-site management services with respect to the Building systems serving
the Premises described on Exhibit 3.03-1 commencing on a date no earlier than the initial
Commencement Date. If Tenant desires to assume all or any portion of such on-site management
responsibilities pursuant to this Section 3.03, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (a
“Facilities Management Notice”) at least sixty (60) days prior to the first day of the
month in which Tenant intends to assume such management responsibilities and identify by reference
to Exhibit 3.03-1 the responsibilities to be assumed. In connection with any such change
in management, the parties shall cooperate and coordinate with each other so as to effect a smooth
transition and transfer of information and responsibility. During any period that Tenant is
exercising its facilities management rights pursuant to this Section 3.03, the provisions of
Exhibit 3.03-2 shall apply.
- 18 -
Tenant shall have the right voluntarily to terminate any portion of its management services
under this Section 3.03 and to relinquish all or any portion of such services under this
Section 3.03 upon sixty (60) days notice and may subsequently again exercise its management rights
hereunder (in whole or in part) provided that the conditions set forth in this Section 3.03 are
then satisfied and more than twelve (12) months have elapsed following the effective date of the
termination of the applicable portion of its management services. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s
management services pursuant to the provisions of Exhibit 3.03-2, then Tenant shall have no
further right to manage any portion of the Building under this Section 3.03. In no event shall
Tenant, in the exercise of its rights under this Section 3.03, be permitted to assume the
management of areas or facilities of the Building serving tenants other than Tenant.
(b) During such time as Tenant is exercising its facilities management rights pursuant to this
Section 3.03, Tenant will cooperate and work with Landlord to manage the same cooperatively with
the remainder of the Property. In all events, Tenant shall be fully responsible for all costs and
expenses of facilities management under this Section, subject to reimbursement for capital
expenditures as set forth below. Tenant’s rights under this Section 3.03 shall be personal to the
Tenant originally named hereunder. In no event may Tenant’s facilities management rights pursuant
to this Section 3.03 be transferred to or exercised by any other transferee.
Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, so long as Tenant is exercising its
facilities management rights pursuant to this Section 3.03, Tenant will maintain, repair and
replace, at its sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement with respect to capital
expenditures as set forth below) portions of the Building as further described on Exhibit
3.03-1 and designated in Tenant’s Facilities Management Notice (the “Self-Managed
Components”) and Landlord shall, during such period, have no obligation to maintain, repair, or
replace the Self-Managed Components. If any element of the Self-Managed Components cannot be fully
repaired or restored, and Landlord authorizes replacement of such item or replacement, or such
replacement item is included in an Approved Budget (as defined in Exhibit 3.03-2) Tenant
shall replace it at Tenant’s cost even if the benefit or useful life of such replacement extends
beyond the term of this Lease and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such costs to the extent that
such costs are capital expenditures that would not have been includable in Operating Expenses
payable by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the costs set forth in the
preceding sentence by paying such costs within 30 days after receiving Tenant’s invoice therefor.
If Landlord pays costs for capital expenditures when invoiced under this paragraph and Tenant
subsequently exercises an option to extend the term in accordance with this Lease, Tenant shall
reimburse Landlord for all such costs allocable to the extension term or terms (to the extent that
such costs would have been includable in Operating Expenses payable by Tenant) within 30 days after
written request by Landlord made at any time after Tenant exercises the applicable extension
option. Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations under the prior two sentences shall survive the
expiration of the term.

in the Landlord’s reasonable discretion and licensed to do business in The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, and shall be noncancellable with respect to Landlord and any mortgagee (provided
that Landlord has identified such mortgagee by notice to Tenant), without thirty (30) days prior

Premises (other than Tenant Work and any Finish Work) as reasonably determined by Landlord, and
shall also maintain boiler and rent loss insurance in amounts required by Landlord’s mortgage
lender or otherwise reasonably determined by Landlord. Landlord’s insurance shall be issued by

Prudential Insurance Company of America, the condominium association, Landlord’s managing agent,
any mortgagee, and any other third party providing services to the Building (provided that Landlord
has identified such mortgagee and/or third parties by notice to Tenant) as additional insureds.
Section 4.05. Waiver of Subrogation. Any property insurance carried by either party
under Sections 4.02(b), 4.02(c) or 4.03 shall, if it can be so written without additional premium
or with an additional premium which the other party agrees to pay, include a clause or endorsement
denying to the insurer rights of subrogation against the other party to the extent rights have been
waived by the insured hereunder prior to occurrence of injury or loss. Each party, notwithstanding
any provisions of this Lease to the contrary, hereby waives any rights of recovery against the
other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by property insurance carried (or required to be
carried) by the party suffering the injury or loss to the extent of the coverage provided (or to be
provided) thereunder.

Use of Premises
Section 5.01. Permitted Use. The Tenant covenants and agrees to use the Premises only
for the purposes of business and professional offices, research labs, and ancillary and subordinate
uses customarily undertaken as accessory uses in connection therewith including without limitation
an animal care facility not to exceed Tenant’s ACF Share (as defined below) of the Premises
(measured in rentable square feet), and for no other purpose (the “Permitted Use”).
“Tenant’s ACF Share” shall mean the percentage of the Premises that is proportionate
to the percentage of accessory animal care facility space permitted in the Building from time to
time under applicable laws, codes and ordinances, which, as of the date hereof, is 20%. If Tenant
is then utilizing all or substantially all of Tenant’s ACF Share, and provided that no Event of
Default is then continuing, then, following the initial lease-up of the entire Building, upon
Tenant’s reasonable request from time to time Landlord shall allocate any then-excess animal care
facility rights at the Building (i.e. rights in excess of Tenant’s ACF Share not then allocated to
other tenants) to Tenant as an increase in the foregoing limit so long as such use, as increased,
remains an accessory use ancillary and subordinate to Tenant’s other activities in the Premises.
Section 5.02. Tenant’s Conduct; Hazardous Materials.
(a) Tenant will not make or permit any occupancy or use of any part of the Premises for any
hazardous, offensive, dangerous, noxious or unlawful occupation, trade, business or purpose or any
occupancy or use thereof which is contrary to any law, by-law, ordinance, rule, permit or license,
and will not cause, maintain or permit any nuisance in, at or on the Premises; provided, however,
that the Permitted Use, if conducted in conformance with the terms of this Lease, all applicable
legal requirements, and customary standards for first class office, laboratory and research and
development space, shall not be deemed to be a hazardous, offensive, dangerous, or noxious
occupation, trade, business or purpose or a nuisance unless it adversely affects tenants or
occupants outside the Premises. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any foreclosure or going out of
business auctions, or sheriff’s sales, at the Property. Tenant shall not place any loads upon the
floors, walls, or ceiling which endanger the structure, or place any Hazardous Materials in the
drainage system of the Premises or Property (other than Hazardous Materials in compliance with
Environmental Laws applicable to the drainage system of the Premises) or overload existing
electrical or other mechanical systems. Tenant shall not use any machinery or equipment in the
Premises that causes excessive noise or vibration perceptible from the exterior of the Premises, as
reasonably determined by Landlord, or that unreasonably interferes with the use or enjoyment of the
Property by other tenants or lawful occupants. No waste materials or refuse shall be dumped upon
or permitted to remain outside of the Premises except in trash containers placed inside exterior
enclosures designated by Landlord for that purpose. No sign, antenna or other structure or thing
shall be erected or placed on the Premises or any part of the exterior of any building or on the
land comprising the Property or erected so as
- 23 -
to be visible from the exterior of the building containing the Premises except as expressly
permitted pursuant to Section 20.12 of this Lease. Tenant will not cause or permit any waste,
overloading, stripping, damage, disfigurement or injury of or to the Property, the Premises, or any
part thereof.
(b) Tenant agrees not to generate, store or use any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter
defined) on or about the Premises, except (a) those used by Tenant in its general office operations
and janitorial services, in both cases limited to such Hazardous Materials in such amounts as are
customarily used in general office uses and for janitorial service provided to general office uses,
and (b) those used in connection the Permitted Uses, and in each case only in compliance with any
and all Environmental Laws (as defined below) and, in each of (a) and (b), in a manner consistent
with the use and operation of a biotechnology laboratory below a so-called BL-3 level (or such
lower level as is required pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws) in a mixed-use setting.
Tenant shall provide Landlord, upon Landlord’s written request, with copies of all Material Safety
Data Sheets (“MSDS”) for Hazardous Materials used or stored in the Premises. Following the
initial occupancy of the Premises, Tenant agrees to notify Landlord prior to introducing any
Hazardous Materials into the Premises that require special precautions or facilities materially
different from Tenant’s initial operations in the Premises. In all events, Tenant agrees not to
release or permit Tenant or Tenant’s contractors, subtenants, licensees, invitees, agents, servants
or employees or others for whom Tenant is legally responsible (collectively, with Tenant,
“Tenant Responsible Parties”) to release any Hazardous Materials on the Premises in
violation of or that requires reporting under any Environmental Law, and not to dispose of
Hazardous Materials (a) on the Premises or (b) from the Property to any other location except a
properly approved disposal facility and then only in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws
regulating such activity, nor permit any occupant of the Premises to do so. In all events Tenant
shall comply with all applicable provisions of the standards of the U.S. Department of Health and
Human Services as further described in the USDHHS publication Biosafety in Microbiological and
Biomedical Laboratories as it may be further revised, or such nationally recognized new or
replacement standards as may be reasonably selected by Landlord.
(c) For purposes of this Lease, “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any substance
regulated under any Environmental Law, including those substances defined in 42 U.S.C. Sec.
9601(14) or any related or applicable federal, state or local statute, law, regulation, or
ordinance, pollutants or contaminants (as defined in 42 U.S.C. Sec. 9601(33), petroleum (including
crude oil or any fraction thereof), any form of natural or synthetic gas, sludge (as defined in 42
U.S.C. Sec. 6903(26A), radioactive substances, hazardous waste (as defined in 42 U.S.C. Sec.
6903(27)) and any other hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, contaminants, pollutants or
materials as defined, regulated or described in any of the Environmental Laws. As used in this
Lease, “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state and local laws relating to the
protection of the environment or health and safety, and any rule or regulation promulgated
thereunder and any order, standard, interim regulation, moratorium, policy or guideline of or
pertaining to any federal, state or local government, department or agency, including but not
limited to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended, the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, the Clean Water Act, the Clean
Air Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the
- 24 -
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, the Marine Protection, Research, and
Sanctuaries Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Noise Control Act, the Safe Drinking
Water Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, the Hazardous Material
Transportation Act, the Refuse Act, the Uranium Mill Tailings Radiation Control Act and the Atomic
Energy Act and regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Agency, Massachusetts General Laws Chapters
21C and 21E, and any other state and local counterparts or related statutes, laws, regulations, and
order and treaties of the United States.
(d) Tenant shall permit Landlord and Landlord’s agents, representatives and employees,
including, without limitation, legal counsel and environmental consultants and engineers, access to
the Premises during the term upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice (which may be
verbal, and no such prior notice is necessary in the event of an emergency threatening life or
property) to Xxx Xxxxxxx (Director of Corporate Operations) or such other employee of Tenant as
Tenant may designate to Landlord from time to time for purposes of conducting environmental
assessments; provided, however, that such assessments may only be conducted if (i) Landlord has
reason to believe that there has been a release or threat of release of Hazardous Materials in a
reportable quantity at the Premises or arising from Tenant’s activities at the Property or (ii)
requested by an actual or prospective mortgage lender, purchaser or equity investor. Landlord
shall permit Tenant or Tenant’s representatives to be present during any such assessment, and any
investigation, testing or sampling. In making any such entry, Landlord shall avoid materially
interfering with Tenant’s use of the Premises, and upon completion of Landlord’s assessment,
investigation, and sampling, shall substantially repair and restore the affected areas of the
Premises from any damage caused by the assessment. Such assessment shall be at Landlord’s expense,
provided that if the assessment shows that a release of Hazardous Materials in violation of this
Lease has occurred, then Landlord’s actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs relating to such
assessment shall be reimbursed by Tenant. Tenant shall pay for all costs reasonably incurred by
Landlord, for independent consultants or otherwise, in connection with inspections, investigations,
and/or response actions concerning a release or threat of release of Hazardous Materials at the
Premises.
(e) Tenant covenants to use best industry practices in the conduct of all laboratory
operations and the storage, use, treatment, and disposal of Environmental Substances at the
Premises. Tenant shall prepare a written environmental contingency plan sufficient to comply with
applicable laws, regulations, codes and ordinances and good practice for first class laboratory
space (“Tenant’s Environmental Contingency Program”) and shall revise the same from time to
time as reasonably necessary because of changes in operations within the Premises, changes in
applicable legal requirements, and changes in customary practice for environmental contingencies in
first class laboratory space. Tenant shall implement the Environmental Contingency Program as
necessary in accordance with the approved plan (as it may be revised) and shall, within 14 days
after Landlord’s written request, provide Landlord with copies of all reports and documentation
prepared in connection therewith. Within 14 days after Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall
provide Landlord with copies of any routine safety audits conducted by Tenant in the ordinary
course of Tenant’s business. Landlord may from time-to-time undertake an environmental audit to
assess the compliance of Tenant with applicable Environmental Laws if Landlord reasonably believes
that Tenant is not then in material compliance with such Environmental Laws or if there is any
release of Hazardous Materials required to be reported under any Environmental Law that arises
- 25 -
out of the use, operation, or occupancy of the Premises or Premises by Tenant or any Tenant
Responsible Parties during the term of this Lease and any further period during which Tenant or any
Tenant Responsible Party retains use, operation or occupancy of the Premises (a “Tenant’s
Release”). Any such audit shall be at Tenant’s cost and expense if the results of such audit
identify any such material non-compliance by Tenant or any Tenant’s Release. In addition, Tenant
shall investigate, assess, monitor and report as required by applicable Environmental Law, at
Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any Tenant’s Release. Further, Tenant shall remediate, in
compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any Tenant’s
Release requiring Response Action (as defined in 310 C.M.R. 40.0000). Tenant shall submit to
Landlord for Landlord’s prior approval a work plan outlining in reasonable detail any Remedial Work
to be performed by Tenant hereunder (the “Remedial Work Plan”). Landlord shall not unreasonably
withhold or delay its approval of such Remedial Work Plan if (i) it complies with all applicable
Environmental Laws; and (ii) the Remedial Work outlined therein reasonably appears sufficient to
remediate the releases to the level provided for in this Section 5.02(d). If Tenant is obligated
to remediate a Tenant’s Release under this Lease, Tenant shall be obligated to remediate the
Tenant’s Release to a level that will permit the portion of the Property to be used for first class
office, laboratory, and research and development uses under applicable laws, statutes, codes, and
ordinances, whether now existing or hereafter enacted. Tenant shall make available to Landlord
copies of drafts of any submittals to governmental authorities in connection with the Remedial Work
for Landlord’s review and comment at least three (3) business days prior to such submittal, and
Tenant shall consider in good faith and incorporate as Tenant reasonably deems appropriate
Landlord’s comments thereon. Tenant shall sign any manifests or other documents as the waste
generator for any Hazardous Materials it disposes of or sends off site or otherwise arising from a
Tenant’s Release. This Subsection shall survive the term of this Lease and shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 5.03. Tenant’s remediation obligation set forth in this Subsection shall not
limit Landlord’s right to damages, if any, which Landlord may incur due to any unremediated
Hazardous Materials resulting from a Tenant’s Release.
(f) Tenant shall pay for all costs reasonably incurred by Landlord, for independent
consultants or otherwise, in connection with inspections, investigations, and/or response actions
concerning a release of Hazardous Materials at the Premises (to the extent caused by Tenant, Tenant
’s agents, contractors or employees, or persons acting by, through or under Tenant ).
(g) Tenant may require that any representative of Landlord entering into a secured portion of
the Premises identified by Tenant to Landlord in advance as containing proprietary information for
the purposes set forth in this Section 5.02 execute a confidentiality agreement with respect to
Tenant’s proprietary information, provided, however, that such agreement is subject to Landlord’s
prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld). Landlord agrees to hold any proprietary
information identified by Tenant and supplied to Landlord pursuant to this Section 5.02(b)-(f)
(“Confidential Information”) in confidence, subject to disclosures to the extent that such
disclosure is required by law or court order or by discovery rules in any legal proceeding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may disclose such Confidential Information to its lenders,
attorneys, and consultants in connection with the financing or sale of the Property or Landlord’s
review of such information provided that such lenders, attorneys
- 26 -
and consultants are informed of Landlord’s obligations hereunder and do not disclose such
Confidential Information in a manner that would not be permitted hereunder.
(h) Tenant shall have no right to use the area identified on Exhibit 1.01-1 as “Second
Floor Common Lobby” for any purpose other than (x) code-required emergency access and egress to the
Premises or (y) if a portion of the second floor of the Premises is subleased by Tenant as
permitted by this Lease and requires use of the Second Floor Common Lobby as a primary entry for
such subleased premises.
Section 5.03. Hazardous Materials Indemnity. Tenant shall indemnify, defend with
counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord and hold Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent and any
mortgagee of the Premises, and any other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 12.01) fully harmless
from and against any and all liability, loss, suits, claims, actions, causes of action,
proceedings, demands, costs, penalties, damages, fines and expenses, including, without limitation,
attorneys fees, consultants’ fees, laboratory fees and clean up costs, and the costs and expenses
of investigating and defending any claims or proceedings, resulting from, or attributable to
(i) the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Property or the Premises arising from the action
or negligence of Tenant, its officers, employees, contractors, and agents, or arising out of the
generation, storage, treatment, handling, transportation, disposal or release by such party (or
their respective officers, employees, contractors, agents or invitees) of any Hazardous Materials
at or near the Property or the Premises, (ii) any violation(s) by Tenant or its officers,
employees, contractors, agents or invitees of any applicable law regarding Hazardous Materials, and
(iii) any breach by Tenant of the obligations set forth in Sections 5.02(b) and (d) of this Lease.
The provisions of this Section 5.03 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of
this Lease.
Section 5.04. Rules and Regulations. Rules and regulations delivered to Tenant in
writing, provided the same are not inconsistent with or in limitation of the provisions of this
Lease, which in the judgment of the Landlord are reasonable, shall be observed by the Tenant and
its employees, and Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to cause its agents, contractors, customers
and business invitees to comply therewith. Tenant acknowledges that the rules and regulations may
include provisions necessary to comply with requirements of governmental approvals. Landlord
agrees that the rules and regulations shall not be applied against Tenant in a discriminatory
manner. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure of other tenants
to comply with the rules and regulations.

Article 6.
Compliance with Legal Requirements
Section 6.01. Compliance with Legal Requirements. Throughout the term of this Lease,
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will promptly comply with all requirements of law, code,
regulation or ordinance related in any way to its use and occupancy of the Premises, including
without limitation any Tenant Work, and will procure and maintain all permits, licenses and other
authorizations required with respect to the Premises, or any part thereof, for the lawful and
proper operation, use and maintenance of the Premises or any part thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation to bring elements of the foundations,
exterior walls, structural floors, and roof of the Building, and the portions of the electrical,
heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems of the Building that serve other tenants,
(collectively, the “Base Building”) into compliance with applicable laws, codes,
regulations or ordinances except to the extent such compliance is required as a result of Tenant
Work, Tenant’s particular use of the Premises, as opposed to the Permitted Use, generally, the
exercise of Tenant’s facilities management rights pursuant to Section 3.03 of this Lease, Tenant’s
negligence or willful misconduct (subject to the provisions of Section 4.05), or Tenant’s default
under this Lease. Landlord shall have the obligation to bring elements of the Base Building into
compliance with applicable laws (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws as hereinafter
defined, but subject to the other provisions of this lease governing Tenant’s use of Hazardous
Materials) except to the extent such compliance is required as a result of Tenant Work, Tenant’s
particular use of the Premises, as opposed to the Permitted Use, generally, Tenant’s negligence or
willful misconduct (subject to the provisions of Section 4.05), or Tenant’s default under this
Lease.
Article 7.
Construction, Condition, Repairs and Maintenance of Premises
Section 7.01. Base Building Work. Landlord shall perform certain base building
modifications to accommodate the demising of the Premises, as further described below, in a good
and workmanlike manner, using new materials of first quality, and shall comply with applicable laws
and all applicable ordinances, orders and regulations of governmental authorities. The work
described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be performed in all material respects in
accordance with the scope of work and schematic plan attached as Exhibit 7.01 (the
“Base Building Work”), provided that Landlord may modify the design of the Base Building
Work from time to time (subject to the provisions of the immediately following paragraph) so long
as the modification (i) does not affect the utility, quality, or appearance of the Base Building
Work in any material respect, (ii) does not materially increase the cost of the Finish Work (except
as provided below), (iii) will not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, (iv)
does not involve a material reduction in the quality of materials to be incorporated in the Base
Building Work, (v) will not result in any material diminution of the rentable area of the Premises,
and (vi) will not materially and adversely affect the building service systems
- 28 -
and equipment serving the Premises (collectively, the “Tenant Approval Not Required
Standards”). In addition to the requirements described in Exhibit 7.01, Landlord’s
Base Building Work shall be further described in final construction documents that shall be
consistent with a first class suburban office building and the initial scope of work and schematic
plan for the Base Building Work pursuant to the schedule for Landlord’s Deadlines set forth on
Schedule 2 to Exhibit 7.02, attached. Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of
the construction documents for Tenant’s review and comment. Tenant shall review and comment on
such plans within five (5) business days following the delivery of such plans to Tenant. If Tenant
fails to review and comment on such plans within such five (5) business day period, then Tenant
shall be deemed to have waived its right to comment.
From time to time during the construction of the Base Building Work directly affecting the
Building and the Finish Work, Landlord shall allow Tenant’s authorized representatives to review
and make copies of plans and specifications including all changes thereto and generally to review
the progress of Landlord Work. Such reviews shall be scheduled so as not to interfere with the
conduct of Landlord Work. Tenant shall be provided with copies of all changes or supplements to
the construction plans for the Base Building Work when the same are given to Landlord’s contractor.
Section 7.02. Finish Work. Landlord shall construct Tenant’s initial improvements to
prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy in accordance with Exhibit 7.02, attached.
Section 7.03. Landlord Maintenance Obligations.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, including without limitation if Tenant has
assumed responsibility for such services pursuant to a Facilities Management Notice, throughout the
term of this Lease, but subject to the terms of Article 11, Landlord shall make such repairs to the
Base Building and the common areas of the Property, including all elevators (even the Tenant
Exclusive Elevators), as may be necessary to keep them in good condition in accordance with
standards for a first class office, laboratory and research and development building in the
suburban Boston area, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
(b) Landlord shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, a written operations and maintenance plan
for any heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems serving the Premises in common with other
parts of the Building from time-to-time and shall provide Tenant with a copy of such O&M Plan.
Landlord may amend or modify the O&M Plan from time to time in consultation with Tenant. If, in
Tenant’s good faith determination, the O&M Plan does not comply with standards for first class
office, laboratory and research and development buildings in the suburban Boston area, Tenant may
object to such O&M Plan with specific comments and suggestions for revisions given within 20 days
following receipt of such plan from Landlord. If the parties are unable to resolve any disputes
regarding whether the O&M Plan meets the applicable standard within 60 days thereafter, despite
good faith efforts to do so, then either party may submit such dispute to arbitration in accordance
with the last paragraph of Section 14.07(b) of this Lease (except that the arbitrator shall be a
mechanical, engineering and plumbing engineer with at least 20 years’ experience in the design and
- 29 -
operation of HVAC systems in first class office and laboratory buildings in the greater Boston
area). In connection with the operation and repair of such systems, Tenant shall have the
appurtenant right to monitor, access and inspect such systems to confirm that they are being
operated and maintained as required hereunder.
Section 7.04. Tenant Maintenance Obligations. Throughout the term of this Lease, and
except as provided in Section 7.01, but subject to the terms of Article 11, Tenant shall clean,
maintain and repair the Premises, and any Tenant Work (including the Finish Work), the utility
meters serving only the Premises, the heating ventilation and air-conditioning units located on the
roof of the Building as of the date of this Lease and serving exclusively the second and third
floors of the Premises, and any other Building systems to the extent exclusively serving the
Premises, all in accordance with standards for a first class office, laboratory and research and
development building in the suburban Boston area, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
Section 7.05. Landlord’s Right of Entry. Landlord, or agents or prospective
investors, lenders or purchasers of Landlord, at reasonable times, reserves the right to enter upon
the Premises to examine the condition thereof, to make repairs, alterations and additions as
Landlord is required or permitted under the terms of this Lease, and at any reasonable time within
twelve (12) months before the expiration of the term to show the Premises to prospective tenants.
In connection with such access, Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with the operation or
work at the Premises and shall give Tenant reasonable prior written notice where practicable
(except in the event of an emergency, in which event such notice shall be as prompt as possible
under the circumstances and may be oral) of Landlord’s intent to access the Premises.
Section 7.06. Service Interruptions. In the event that there shall be an
interruption, curtailment or suspension of any service required to be provided by Landlord pursuant
to Exhibit 3.02 (and no reasonably equivalent alternative service or supply is provided by
Landlord) (but not including any services that are then subject to Tenant’s facilities management
rights pursuant to the exercise of Tenant’s rights under Section 3.03), or if Landlord fails to
commence and diligently prosecute to completion any repair or maintenance required by Landlord
under this Lease within applicable notice and cure periods, that shall materially interfere with
Tenant’s use and enjoyment of a material portion of the Premises, and Tenant actually ceases to use
the affected portion of the Premises (any such event, a “Service Interruption”), and if
(i) such Service Interruption shall continue for five (5) consecutive business days following
receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant describing such Service Interruption (the
“Service Interruption Notice”), (ii) such Service Interruption shall not have been caused,
in whole or in part, by matters described by Article 11 or by an act or omission in violation of
this Lease by Tenant or by any negligence of Tenant, or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or
invitees, and (iii) the cure of the condition giving rise to the Material Service Interruption is
within Landlord’s reasonable control (a Service Interruption that satisfies the foregoing
conditions being referred to hereinafter as a “Material Service Interruption”) then, as
liquidated damages and Tenant’s sole remedy at law or equity, Tenant shall be entitled to an
equitable abatement of Rent, based on the nature and duration of the Material Service Interruption,
the area of the Premises affected, and the then current Rent amounts, for the
- 30 -
period that shall begin on the commencement of such Service Interruption and that shall end on
the day such Material Service Interruption shall cease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (w) a Material Service Interruption continues for 180 days
(provided that such 180 day period shall be extended for a period of up to an additional 90 days so
long as Landlord is diligently prosecuting to cure such Material Services Interruption) following
delivery of the Service Interruption Notice, (x) Tenant simultaneously delivered the Service
Interruption Notice to any then-Mortgagee (as defined in Section 10.1), (y) such Mortgagee has not
cured such Material Service Interruption within the period set forth in Section 10.3, and (z) such
Material Service Interruption adversely interferes with Tenant’s operations in either (i) at least
25% of the Premises (measured in rentable square feet) or (ii) any portion of the Lab Portion such
that there are material adverse consequences to critical laboratory operations of Tenant in
progress or planned at the time such Material Service Interruption commenced, then following such
period Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Landlord and such Mortgagee; provided, however, that if such Material Service
Interruption shall cease prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, then such
termination notice shall be of no force or effect.
The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall not apply to matters arising out of any casualty or
taking by eminent domain, which events are addressed by Article 11 of this Lease.
Article 8.
Alterations and Additions
Section 8.01. Tenant Work
(a) The Tenant shall not make any additional alterations or additions, structural or
non-structural, to the Premises without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord on each
occasion, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any such
alterations or additions are referred to herein as “Tenant Work”. For non-structural
alterations or additions valued at less than $100,000 which do not affect any of the exterior,
lobbies, elevator, roof, structure, or building systems in or at the Building, Landlord’s consent
shall not be required (“Minor Alterations”) provided, however, that (i) if such Minor
Alteration requires a building permit from the applicable municipal authority, Landlord’s consent
shall be required, provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, and (ii) if Landlord’s consent was not obtained therefor, upon the expiration or
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall readapt, repair and restore the affected portion of the
Premises to substantially the condition the same were in prior to such Minor Alteration.
Additionally, Tenant shall give prior written notice to Landlord of any Minor Alteration regardless
of whether Landlord’s consent is required. Wherever consent is required, it shall include
reasonable approval of plans and contractors and the insurance required under Section 4.04. Unless
otherwise approved by Landlord, Tenant
- 31 -
shall use the structural engineer employed by Landlord for the Building where Alterations affect
Building structure. Tenant shall notify Landlord of all alterations or additions and provide
Landlord with copies of any construction plans therefor whether or not Landlord’s consent is
required. All such allowed alterations, including reasonable third-party costs of review in
seeking Landlord’s approval, shall be made at Tenant’s expense by an Approved Contractor (as
defined below), in compliance with all laws, and be of first class quality. Prior to
commencing any work at the Property other than Minor Alterations or Alterations costing less
than $1,000,000 (such amount decreasing to $250,000 at any time that Tenant fails to meet the
Financial Test) in the aggregate, Tenant shall provide and record bonds or such other security
as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord sufficient to protect the interests of both Tenant
and Landlord in the Property from any lien arising out of a failure to pay for work performed
for Tenant, and all alterations and additions performed by Tenant, (but excluding Minor
Alterations), shall be performed by an Approved Contractor. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (without recourse) all warranties
and guaranties then in effect for all work performed by Tenant at the Premises.
For purposes of this Section 8.01(a), an “Approved Contractor” shall mean a contractor
or mechanic identified by Tenant in writing, who has been approved by Landlord (such approval not
to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(b) Except as set forth below, any alterations or additions made by, for or on behalf of the
Tenant which are permanently affixed to the Premises or affixed in a manner so that they cannot be
removed without defacing or damaging the Premises shall, except as expressly provided in this
paragraph, become property of the Landlord at the termination of occupancy as provided herein. If
Landlord notifies Tenant, in connection with any consent to alterations or additions requested by
Tenant, or in connection with the review and approval of the plans for the Finish Work under
Exhibit 7.02 that Tenant shall be required to remove such alterations or additions or
Finish Work at the expiration of the term of the Lease, or if any such alterations or additions did
not require Landlord’s consent pursuant to the terms hereof, then such alterations or additions or
Finish Work, as applicable, shall be removed by Tenant, at its expense, with minimal disturbance to
the Premises prior to the expiration of the term of the Lease. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence to the contrary, Landlord may only require Tenant to remove items of Tenant Work
or Finish Work that are above or otherwise inconsistent with the first class nature of the
Building. Tenant’s trade fixtures and personal property and equipment, which are not affixed or
that may be removed with minimal disturbance or repairable damage, may be removed by Tenant during
the term of this Lease, and shall be removed prior to the expiration of the term of the Lease,
provided such disturbance or damage is restored and repaired so that the Premises are left in at
least as good a condition as they were in at the commencement of the term, reasonable wear and tear
excepted. In no event shall any Finish Work funded by the Finish Work Allowance be deemed to be
Tenant’s trade fixtures, personal property or equipment. The Premises shall otherwise be left in
the same condition as at the commencement of the term or such better condition as it may thereafter
be put, reasonable wear, tear and, to the extent Landlord is required to restore the same, damage
by fire or other casualty or taking or condemnation by public authority excepted. Notwithstanding
anything herein or otherwise in this Lease to the contrary, the Tenant emergency generators and
nitrogen tanks paid for directly by Tenant, together with such other items that may be agreed upon
by mutual written agreement of the parties from time to
- 32 -
time, shall be and remain the personal property of Tenant, shall not be deemed to be Tenant
Work, and Tenant shall have the right to remove the foregoing from the Premises at any time and
from time to time during the term of this Lease.
Article 9.
Discharge of Liens
Section 9.01. No Liens. Tenant will not create or permit to be created or to remain,
and within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord will discharge or bond off, at its sole cost
and expense and to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and any mortgagee, any lien, encumbrance
or charge (on account of any mechanic’s, laborer’s, materialmen’s or vendor’s lien, or any
mortgage, or otherwise) made or suffered by Tenant which is or might be or become a lien,
encumbrance or charge upon the Premises (including Tenant’s leasehold interest therein), Property
or any part thereof, or the rents, issues, income or profits accruing to Landlord therefrom, and
Tenant will not suffer any other matter or thing within its control whereby the estate, rights and
interest of Landlord in the Property or Premises or any part thereof might be materially impaired.
Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any labor or materials furnished or to
be furnished to Tenant in connection with any Tenant Work and that no mechanic’s or other lien for
any such labor or materials shall attach to or affect the estate or interest of Landlord in and to
the Premises or the Property, and, upon Landlord’s request, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
Tenant shall cause any contractor of Tenant to execute and deliver an acknowledgement confirming
the same in such form as Landlord may from time to time reasonably prescribe.
Article 10.
Subordination
Section 10.01. Lease Subordinate to Mortgages.
(a) The interest of the Tenant hereunder shall be subordinate to the rights of any holder of a
mortgage or holder of a ground lease of property which includes the Premises (any such holder, a
“Mortgagee”), and executed and recorded subsequent to the date of this Lease, unless such Mortgagee
shall otherwise so elect, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(f), below; or
(b) If any Mortgagee shall so elect, this Lease, and the rights of the Tenant hereunder, shall
be superior in right to the rights of such Mortgagee, with the same force and effect as if this
Lease had been executed and delivered, and recorded, or a statutory notice hereof recorded, prior
to the execution, delivery and recording of any such mortgage.
- 33 -
Any election as to Subsection (b) above shall become effective upon either notice from such
Mortgagee to the Tenant in the same fashion as notices from the Landlord to the Tenant are to be
given hereunder or by the recording in the appropriate registry or recorder’s office of an
instrument, in which such Mortgagee subordinates its rights under such mortgage or ground lease to
this Lease.
In the event any Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord, whether by judicial or
non-judicial foreclosure or otherwise, at the election of such Mortgagee, Tenant shall, and does
hereby agree to attorn to such Mortgagee and to recognize such Mortgagee as its Landlord and Tenant
shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Mortgagee may reasonably request to
evidence such attornment provided such document contains reasonably satisfactory non-disturbance
provisions to allow Tenant to remain in occupancy pursuant to this Lease and exercise all of its
other rights under this Lease as long as no Event of Default exists. The form of instrument
attached as Exhibit 10.01 shall be deemed acceptable to Tenant. If requested by any such
Mortgagee, Tenant further agrees to enter into a new lease for the balance of the term of this
Lease (and otherwise upon the same terms and conditions of this Lease) in the event of a judicial
or non-judicial foreclosure of a mortgage granted to any Mortgagee. Landlord will reimburse Tenant
for all reasonable third party attorneys’ fees that Tenant incurs to review such agreement pursuant
to the preceding sentence.
Upon such attornment, the Mortgagee shall not be: (i) liable in any way to the Tenant for any
act or omission, neglect or default on the part of Landlord under this Lease except that the
Mortgagee shall cure any continuing failure to perform maintenance or repair work (but shall not be
liable for any damages arising prior to the attornment) and complete the Landlord Work in
accordance with the Lease (ii) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to
the credit of Tenant unless received by the Mortgagee, but it shall be liable for payment of any
unpaid portion of the Finish Work Allowance being funded by the loan and to the extent not
previously advanced by such Mortgagee; (iii) subject to any credit, counterclaim or setoff which
theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord; (iv) bound by any modification of this Lease
subsequent to such mortgage or by any previous prepayment of regularly scheduled monthly
installments of Base Rent for more than (1) month, which was not approved in writing by the
Mortgagee; (v) liable to the Tenant beyond the Mortgagee’s interest in the Property and the rents,
income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits issuing from such Property; or (vi) liable for any
portion of a security deposit not actually received by the Mortgagee.
(c) The covenant and agreement contained in this Lease with respect to the rights, powers and
benefits of any such Mortgagee constitute a continuing offer to any person, corporation or other
entity, which by accepting or requiring an assignment of this Lease or by entry of foreclosure
assumes the obligations set forth in this Article 10 with respect to such Mortgagee.
(d) No assignment of this Lease and no agreement to make or accept any surrender, termination
or cancellation of this Lease and no agreement to modify so as to reduce the Rent, change the term,
or otherwise materially change the rights of the Landlord under this Lease, or to relieve the
Tenant of any obligations or liability under this Lease, shall be valid unless consented to in
writing by the Landlord’s Mortgagees, if any, to the extent that such consent is required pursuant
to the terms of the applicable mortgage or ground lease.
- 34 -
(e) The Tenant agrees, within ten (10) business days following the request of the Landlord, to
execute and deliver from time to time any agreement, in recordable form, which may reasonably be
deemed necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 10.01, including, without limitation,
the form of agreement attached as Exhibit 10.01. Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all
reasonable third party attorneys’ fees that Tenant incurs to review such agreement under this
subsection (e) if the form provided by Landlord is not substantially similar to Exhibit
10.01, provided that Landlord shall have no obligation to reimburse Tenant for any amount in
excess of $4,000 in any one instance (such amount to be increased, but never decreased, annually in
proportion to any increase in the CPI).
(f) Landlord agrees that any subordination of this Lease to any mortgage now or hereafter
encumbering the Premises shall be conditioned upon Landlord delivering to Tenant a written,
recordable Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement from the ground lessor or
mortgagee seeking to have this Lease subordinated to its interest substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit 10.01 or in such other customary form as is required by Landlord’s
mortgagee. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a non-disturbance agreement from Landlord’s current
first mortgage lender, Bank of America, N.A., simultaneously with the execution and delivery of
this Lease.
Section 10.02. Estoppel Certificates. Each party agrees to furnish to the other,
within ten (10) business days after request therefor (or, with respect to Tenant, if requested of
Tenant by any Mortgagee) from time to time, a written statement setting forth the following
information:
(a) Whether and when Tenant accepted possession of the Premises, and the commencement and
expiration dates of the term of this Lease,
(b) The applicable Rent then being paid, including all Additional Rent based upon the
Additional Rent most recently established;
(c) That, if true, the Lease is current and the party providing the statement is not aware of
any uncured breach of this Lease or specifying any breach;
(d) That, if true, the party providing the statement is not aware of any current claims or
offsets against the other party, or specifically listing any such claims;
(e) The date through which Base Rent and Additional Rent has then been paid;
(f) Whether Tenant then meets the Financial Test;
- 35 -
(g) Such other information relevant to the Lease as the requesting party may reasonably
request;
(h) A statement that any prospective Mortgagee and/or purchaser may rely on all such
information.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant has approved the statement form attached
as Exhibit 10.02.
Section 10.03. Notices to Mortgagees. After receiving notice from any person, firm or
other entity that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged
premises, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with the Landlord, as ground Tenant, which
includes the Premises as a part of the mortgaged premises, no notice from the Tenant to the
Landlord shall be effective against such Mortgagee unless and until a copy of the same is given to
such Mortgagee, and the curing of any of the Landlord’s defaults by such Mortgagee shall be treated
as performance by the Landlord. Accordingly, no act or failure to act on the part of the Landlord
which would entitle the Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of the
Tenant’s obligations hereunder, to exercise any right of self-help or to terminate this Lease,
shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless
(i) the Tenant shall have first given written notice to such Mortgagee of the Landlord’s act or
failure to act which could or would give basis for the Tenant’s rights; and (ii) such Mortgagee,
after receipt of such notice, has failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of
within the applicable cure period afforded Landlord under this Lease or such longer period of time
as may be reasonably required by Mortgagee to cure such default with due diligence (including such
time as may be necessary for Mortgagee to obtain possession or title to the Property, if required
to cure the default, but in no event shall such longer period of time exceed, in the aggregate, 180
days).
Section 10.04. Assignment of Rents. With reference to any assignment by the Landlord
of the Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or
otherwise, which assignment is made to the a Mortgagee, the Tenant agrees:
(a) That the execution thereof by the Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the Mortgagee,
shall never be treated as an assumption by such Mortgagee of any of the obligations of the Landlord
hereunder, unless such Mortgagee shall, by notice sent to the Tenant, specifically make such
election; and
(b) That, except as aforesaid, such Mortgagee shall be treated as having assumed the
Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such Mortgagee’s mortgage or the taking
of possession of the Property, or, in the case of a ground lessor, the termination of the ground
lease.
- 36 -
Article 11.
Fire, Casualty and Eminent Domain
Section 11.01. Rights to Terminate the Lease. The Landlord, at its sole option, may
elect to terminate this Lease, provided that Landlord is then also terminating the lease of any
other tenant that is similarly affected in the Building, if (i) all or substantially all of the
Premises or at least 50 percent of the Building (not including the Premises) is damaged by a
casualty not insured by the coverage required to be carried hereunder (whether or not such
insurance is actually carried), or is taken by eminent domain, (ii) the Building is damaged by an
fire or other casualty (whether or not insured) such that the same cannot, in ordinary course,
reasonably be expected to be restored within 270 days from the time that such restoration work
would commence, or (iii) the Premises or Building is damaged by a fire or other casualty, or is
taken by eminent domain, at a time when no more than 18 months then remain in the term of this
Lease, and the time reasonably estimated by Landlord’s general contractor pursuant to Section
11.01(b), below, to restore the Premises or Building, as applicable, will take longer than 50% of
the then-remaining term of the Lease (unless, within 21 days after receipt of Landlord’s
termination notice, Tenant exercises any then-remaining right to extend the term of this Lease
pursuant to Article 22 hereof). When fire or other unavoidable casualty or taking renders any
portion of the Premises substantially unsuitable for its intended use (including, without
limitation, by causing damage to such portions of the common areas and facilities of the Building
as are necessary to provide reasonably safe access to the Premises and to provide those building
services, such as utilities and HVAC service, that Landlord is required to provide hereunder), a
just and proportionate abatement of rent shall be made for so long as such interference shall
continue, and the Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if:
(a) The Landlord fails, within ten (10) days following written notice from Tenant of such
failure, to give written notice sixty (60) days after such casualty of its intention to restore the
Premises (and such portions of the common areas and facilities of the Building as are necessary to
provide reasonably safe access to the Premises and to provide those building services, such as
utilities and HVAC service, that Landlord is required to provide hereunder) or provide alternate
access, if access has been taken or destroyed; or
(b) If Landlord gives notice of its intention to restore and, in the reasonable estimate of
Landlord’s general contractor, such restoration of the Premises (and such portions of the common
areas and facilities of the Building as are necessary to provide reasonably safe access to the
Premises and to provide those building services, such as utilities and HVAC service, that Landlord
is required to provide hereunder) will take greater than nine (9) months to complete (or, if less
than eighteen (18) months remain in the term of this Lease, greater than one-half of the
then-remaining length of the term), provided that Tenant gives such notice within 30 days after
receiving Landlord’s notice that it intends to restore the Premises; or
- 37 -
(c) If Landlord gives notice of its intention to restore and the Landlord fails to restore the
Premises (together with such portions of the common areas and facilities of the Building as are
necessary to provide reasonably safe access to the Premises and to provide those building services,
such as utilities and HVAC service, that Landlord is required to provide hereunder) to a condition
substantially suitable for their intended use within the longer of nine (9) months or such longer
period as Landlord’s general contractor has estimated for restoration pursuant to clause (b),
above, plus a contingency period equal to 10% of such period estimated by the general contractor,
of such fire or other unavoidable casualty, or taking; provided however, that (x) in the event
Landlord has diligently commenced repairs to the damaged property and such repair takes more than
such period to complete due to causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, Landlord shall have the
right to complete such repairs within a reasonable time period thereafter (the “Additional
Time”) but in no event shall such Additional Time be longer than the shorter of (i) ninety (90
) days; or (ii) the length of such delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control and (y) if Landlord
completes such restoration within 30 days following receipt of Tenant’s notice of termination, then
such notice of termination shall be deemed null and void and of no further force and effect.
The Landlord reserves, and the Tenant grants to the Landlord, all rights which the Tenant may
have for damages or injury to the Premises for any taking by eminent domain, except for damages
specifically awarded on account of the Tenant’s trade fixtures, property or equipment, and moving
expenses.
Section 11.02. Restoration Obligations. If the Lease has not terminated pursuant to
Section 11.01, then, following any casualty or taking by eminent domain, Landlord shall proceed
with diligence, subject to then applicable statutes, building codes, zoning ordinances and
regulations of any governmental authority, and the receipt of insurance proceeds, to repair or
cause to be repaired such damage (excluding any Tenant Work and Finish Work). All repairs to and
replacements of Tenant’s Tenant Work, Finish Work, trade fixtures, equipment and personal property
shall be made by and at the expense of Tenant.
Article 12.
Indemnification
Section 12.01. General Indemnity. Subject to the waiver of claims set forth in
Section 4.05, except to the extent arising from a breach of this Lease by Landlord or the
negligent acts or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, contractors or employees,
Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s lenders, Landlord’s managing
agent, The Prudential Life Insurance Company of America, the association of unit owners of the
Reservoir Xxxxx Primary Condominium and their respective partners, members, managers, officers,
directors, and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all claims, demands,
liabilities, damages, judgments, orders, decrees, actions, proceedings, fines, penalties, costs and
expenses, including without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees, (x) arising from or
relating to any third party claim for loss of life, or damage or injury to a person or property
(i) occurring in the Premises or arising out of the use of the common areas of the Property by
Tenant, or
- 38 -
its agents, employees, or contractors or anyone claiming by or through Tenant, (ii) caused by
any negligent act or omission or violation of this Lease by Tenant, or its agents, employees, or
contractors or anyone claiming by or through Tenant, or (y) arising out the exercise of Tenant’s
rights under Section 14.07(b) (including without limitation any claim by another tenant in
the Building that such exercise resulted in a default under its lease).
Subject to the waiver of claims set forth in Section 4.05, except to the extent arising from a
breach of this Lease by Tenant or the negligent acts or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant’s
agents, contractors or employees, Landlord shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from
and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, judgments, orders, decrees, actions,
proceedings, fines, penalties, costs and expenses, including without limitation, court costs and
attorneys’ fees, arising from or relating to any third party claim for loss of life, or damage or
injury to a person or property caused by any negligent act or omission or violation of this Lease
by Landlord, its agents, employees, or contractors.
Section 12.02. Defense Obligations. In case any action or proceeding is brought
against either party by reason of any such occurrence, the party required to provide
indemnification, upon written notice from the party entitled to indemnification, will, at the sole
cost and expense of the party required to provide indemnification, resist and defend such action or
proceeding or cause the same to be resisted and defended, by counsel designated by the party
required to provide indemnification and approved in writing by the party to be defended, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Article 13.
Mortgages, Assignments and Subleases by Tenant
Section 13.01. Right to Transfer.
(a) Tenant’s interest in this Lease may not be mortgaged, encumbered, assigned or otherwise
transferred, or made the subject of any license or other privilege, by Tenant or by operation of
law or otherwise, and the Premises may not be sublet, as a whole or in part, (any of the foregoing
events, a “Transfer”) without in each case having obtained the prior written consent of
Landlord, and the execution and delivery to Landlord by the assignee or transferee (in either case,
a “Transferee”) of a good and sufficient instrument whereby such Transferee assumes (with
respect to any sublease, to the extent of the subtenants’ obligations under the applicable
sublease) all obligations of Tenant under this Lease. The provisions of this Article 13 shall
apply to a transfer (by one or more Transfers) of a controlling portion of or interest in the stock
or partnership or membership interests or other evidences of equity interests of Tenant or sale of
all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant as if such Transfer were an assignment of this
Lease; provided, that, so long as equity interests in Tenant are traded on a nationally recognized
public stock exchange, the transfer of equity
- 39 -
interests in Tenant on such public stock exchange shall not be deemed an assignment within the
meaning of this Article. Subject to the provisions of this Article 13, Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any sublet of all or any portion of the
Premises or any assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. It shall be reasonable for Landlord
to withhold its consent with respect to any proposed Transfer if the Transferee is not sufficiently
creditworthy to meet its obligations under such assignment or sublease, as demonstrated by audited
financial statements or equivalent evidence. It shall be reasonable for Landlord to deny its
consent to any Transfer to any of the following so long as Landlord has competitive space in the
Building (e.g. similar type and size of space, offered for a similar term) available for lease
prior to the earlier to occur of the date that is 24 months following the initial Commencement Date
to occur or the date that Building is first fully leased to unrelated third parties: (i) a tenant
at the Property or in the office park known as Reservoir Xxxxx; (ii) any party with whom Landlord
has negotiated in the previous six (6) months with respect to space in the Building; (iii) any
affiliates controlled by, controlling, or under common control with any tenant or party described
in clauses (i) and (ii) hereof and it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to
any Transfer in violation of the provisions of this sentence. It shall be reasonable for Landlord
to withhold its consent to a Transfer to any party which would be of such type, character or
condition as to be inappropriate, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, as a tenant for a first class
suburban office building.
Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring Tenant to obtain any consent on the
part of Landlord (i) as a condition to or any assignment resulting from any merger, consolidation,
or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, or acquisition of all or substantially
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Tenant or (ii) as a condition to any assignment
or sublease to any affiliates controlled by, controlling, or under common control with Tenant;
provided that (a) Tenant gives Landlord at least twenty (20) days prior written notice of such
event or Transfer (except that no prior notice need be given with respect to any Transfer referred
to in clause (b) below to the extent that such notice is prohibited by law or by confidentiality
agreement, in which case Tenant shall provide Landlord with notice of such Transfer within ten (10)
business days following such Transfer) with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the
conditions of this paragraph have been satisfied, (b) in the case of an assignment, merger,
consolidation or asset sale the Transferee shall be at least as creditworthy as the then Tenant as
of the date that is three months prior to such Transfer, as demonstrated by audited financial
statements or equivalent evidence (the determination of creditworthiness shall take into account
all of the considerations which an institutional investor in real estate would consider in
evaluating the credit of a proposed tenant), (c) the Transferees comply with the provisions of this
Lease, and (d) with respect to a Transfer to any affiliate of Tenant pursuant to clause (ii),
above, the provisions of this Article 13 shall apply to such Transfer if, as and when such
affiliate ceases to be an affiliate of Tenant. Any Transferee referred to in the immediately
preceding sentence is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee”. Any such Permitted
Transferee, however, shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 13.02 below.
For purposes of this Lease, control shall mean possession of more than 50 percent ownership of the
shares of beneficial interest of the entity in question together with the power to control and
manage the affairs thereof either directly or by election of directors and/or officers.
- 40 -
In connection with any request by Tenant for any consent to Transfer, Tenant shall provide
Landlord with all relevant information requested by Landlord concerning the proposed Transferee’s
financial responsibility, credit worthiness and business experience to enable Landlord to make an
informed decision. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly for all reasonable out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by Landlord including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the review of
Tenant’s request for consent to any Transfer.
Any purported Transfer under this Article 13 without Landlord’s prior written consent or prior
notice (as applicable) to the extent such consent or notice is required, shall be void and of no
effect. No acceptance of Rent by Landlord from or recognition in any way of the occupancy of the
Premises by a Transferee shall be deemed consent to such Transfer. Without limiting Landlord’s
right to withhold its consent to any Transfer by Tenant, and regardless of whether Landlord shall
have consented to any such Transfer, neither Tenant nor any other person having an interest in the
possession, use, or occupancy of any portion of the Premises shall enter into any lease, sublease,
license, concession, assignment, or other transfer or agreement for possession, use, or occupancy
of all or any portion of the Premises which provides for rental or other payment for such use,
occupancy, or utilization based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by any
person or entity from the space so leased, used, or occupied, and any such purported lease,
sublease, license, concession, assignment, or other transfer or agreement shall be absolutely void
and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the Premises. Furthermore, Tenant
agrees that in the event Landlord determines, in its sole discretion, that there is any risk that
all or part of any amount payable under or in connection with any Transfer shall cause any amounts
to be received by Landlord to fail to qualify as “rents from real property” within the meaning of
Code Sections 512(b)(3) and 856(d) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, Tenant shall amend or
modify the terms of such Transfer.
(b) In the event Tenant Transfers the Premises or any part thereof for consideration in excess
of the obligations of Tenant to Landlord hereunder, other than with respect to a Permitted
Transferee, Tenant shall from time to time within fifteen (15) days of receipt pay over to Landlord
an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the excess, if any, of (1) any consideration, rent, or
other amounts received by Tenant from such Transferee, over (2) the sum of the rents and other
expenses payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, after such excess is applied to reimburse Tenant
for the actual and reasonable third-party costs for legal fees, brokerage costs, leasehold
improvements, free rent or other out-of-pocket rent concession payments incurred by Tenant in
procuring the Transfer, and the amount of any unamortized costs incurred by Tenant for Excess
Finish Work pursuant to Exhibit 7.02. (Tenant’s reimbursement for the costs of the Excess
Finish Work shall be in monthly amounts to amortize such costs on a straight-line basis without
interest over the term of the Transfer in question). Within ten (10) days after request by
Landlord from time to time, Tenant shall provide Landlord with an itemized statement of all such
costs, together with reasonable third party back-up documentation for the same. Without limiting
the generality of the first sentence of this subparagraph, any lump-sum payment or series of
payments actually or reasonably allocated to Tenant’s interest in the Premises (including the
purchase or use of so-called leasehold improvements), as opposed to other assets of Tenant, on
account of any Transfer shall be deemed to be in excess of rent and other charges to the extent
such payments, if amortized at a market interest rate over the period to which such charges relate,
exceeds rent or
- 41 -
other charges allocable to the period to which such payments relate (i.e. if it is a single
lump sum payment for an assignment of the entire lease, the period to which they would relate is
the entire then-remaining term). In the event of any dispute regarding the allocation referenced
in the immediately preceding sentence, either party may submit such matter to arbitration pursuant
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 14.07(b) of this Lease.
Section 13.02. Tenant Remains Bound. No Transfer of any interest in this Lease, and
no execution and delivery of any instrument of assumption pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof, shall
in any way affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, but this Lease and
all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as the
obligations of a principal (and not as the obligations of a guarantor or surety). From and after
any such Transfer, the obligations of each such Transferee and of the original Tenant named as such
in this Lease to fulfill all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and
several (but, with respect to any sublease, solely with respect to the obligations assumed by the
subtenant thereunder). Each violation of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions of
this Lease, whether by act or omission, by any of Tenant’s permitted encumbrances, assignees,
employees, transferees, licensees, grantees of a privilege, sub-tenants or occupancy, shall
constitute a violation thereof by Tenant. The consent by Landlord to any Transfer shall not
relieve Tenant or any Transferee from the obligation of obtaining the express consent of Landlord
to any modification of such Transfer or a further Transfer by Tenant or such transferee.
Article 14.
Default
Section 14.01. Events of Default. It shall be an “Event of Default” in the
event that:
(a) the Tenant shall default in the due and punctual payment of any installment of Base Rent,
or any part hereof, when and as the same shall become due and payable and such default shall
continue for more than five (5) business days after notice that such payment is due;
(b) the Tenant shall default in the payment of any Additional Rent, or any part thereof, when
and as the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall continue for a period of ten
(10) days, with respect to Tenant’s regular monthly payments of Operating Expenses and Taxes, and
(20) days otherwise, after notice that such payment is due; or
(c) the Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any of the Tenant’s
covenants, agreements or obligations under Sections 10.01 and 10.02 of the Lease within the time
periods set forth therein or default in the observance or performance of any of the Tenant’s
covenants, agreements or obligations under Section 20.06;
- 42 -
(d) the Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any of the Tenant’s
covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, other than those referred to in the foregoing
clauses (a) — (c), and such default shall not be corrected within thirty (30) days after written
notice; provided, however, if Tenant promptly commenced to cure the default and diligently pursued
the cure, but such default was not capable of being cured by Tenant within the said thirty (30) day
period and Tenant so notified Landlord promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days after
notice of such default was given) together with an estimate of the reasonable time required for
such cure, Tenant shall be allowed such longer period, but in no event longer than 180 days; or
(e) the Tenant shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated bankrupt
or insolvent, shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement,
composition, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other
statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, or shall
seek, or consent, or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant
of all or any substantial part of their respective properties, or of the Premises, or shall make
any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
(f) a petition is filed against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute, law or
regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for debtors, and such petition is not
dismissed within sixty (60) days;
then, unless and until Landlord accepts a full cure of the default giving rise to the Event of
Default, Landlord shall have the right thereafter to re-enter and take complete possession of the
Premises, to declare this Lease terminated by written notice to Tenant and to remove the Tenant’s
effects without prejudice to any remedies which might be otherwise used for arrears of Rent or
other Event of Default. Any written notice of termination by Landlord may, at Landlord’s express
election, serve as any statutory demand or notice that is a prerequisite to Landlord’s commencement
of eviction proceedings against Tenant, and may, at Landlord’s express election, be included in any
notice of default (provided, however, that any such notice included in a notice of default shall
not be effective unless and until the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods).
The Tenant shall indemnify the Landlord against all loss of Rent and other payments which the
Landlord may incur by reason of such termination during the residue of the term. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant following such
termination to be indemnified for loss of Rent by a lump sum payment representing the present value
of the amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent which would have been paid in accordance with this
Lease for the remainder of the term minus the present value of the aggregate fair market rent and
Additional Rent for the Premises on an “as-is” basis during such time period, estimated as of the
date of termination, and taking into account reasonable projections of vacancy and time required to
re-let the Premises. (For purposes of the lump sum calculation, Additional Rent for the last
12 months prior to termination shall be deemed to increase for each year thereafter by the average
annual increase during the immediately preceding 5 years in the Consumer Price Index - All Urban
Consumers for the Boston Metropolitan area published by the U.S. Department of Labor or a
comparable
- 43 -
index reasonably selected by Landlord. The Federal Reserve discount rate, or equivalent, plus
2% shall be used in calculating present values.) In the absence of such election, Tenant shall
indemnify Landlord for the loss of Rent by a payment at the end of each month which would have been
included in the term equal to the difference between the Base Rent and Additional Rent which would
have been paid in accordance with this Lease and the Rent actually derived from the Premises by
Landlord for such month.
In addition to the payment(s) due under the prior paragraph, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord
for all reasonable expenses arising out of the termination, including without limitation, all costs
incurred by Landlord in attempting to re-let the Premises or parts thereof such as advertising,
brokerage commissions, tenant fit-up costs, and legal expenses. The reimbursement from Tenant
shall be due and payable immediately from time to time upon notice from Landlord of the expense so
incurred. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts re-let the Premises in the event the Lease is
terminated pursuant to this Article 14, however, Landlord’s obligation shall be subject to the
reasonable requirements of Landlord to lease other available space for comparable use prior to
reletting the Premises and to lease to high quality tenants in a harmonious manner with an
appropriate mix of uses, tenants, floor areas and terms of tenancies. The provisions of this
Section 14.01, and Tenant’s obligations to Landlord hereunder, shall survive the termination of
this Lease.
Section 14.02. Landlord’s Right to Cure. If an Event of Default occurs or Landlord
reasonably determines that an emergency posing imminent threat of injury or damage to persons or
property exists, the Landlord, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby
waiving its rights with regard to any Event of Default, may, after prior written notice to Tenant
(prior written notice shall not be required if not practical in the case of an emergency posing
imminent threat of injury or damage to persons or property ) remedy the default giving rise to the
Event of Default , or the imminent threat, for the account and at the expense of the Tenant. If
the Landlord makes any reasonable expenditures or incurs any reasonable obligations for the payment
of money in connection therewith, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees in
instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, such sums paid or obligation
incurred and costs, shall be paid upon demand to the Landlord by the Tenant as Additional Rent and,
if not paid within five (5) business days following notice that such amount is past due (provided
that no such notice shall be required following the first two such notices in any 12 month period)
with interest at the rate of eighteen (18%) percent per annum for the purposes of late payments of
Base Rent or regular monthly payments of Operating Expenses and Taxes, and otherwise at the Prime
Rate plus six percent (6%) per annum, (the applicable such rate, the “Default Rate”)
calculated as of the date such payments were due.
Section 14.03. No Waiver. No failure by either party to insist upon strict
performance of any covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease, or to exercise any right
or remedy consequent upon breach thereof, and no acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent
during the continuance of any breach, shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or of any
covenant, agreement, term or condition. No covenant, agreement, term or condition of this Lease to
be performed or complied with by either party, and no breach thereof, shall be waived, altered or
modified except by written instrument executed by the other party. No waiver of any breach shall
- 44 -
affect or alter this Lease, but each and every covenant, agreement, term and condition of this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any other then existing or subsequent
breach thereof.
Section 14.04. Late Payments. In the event (i) any payment of Rent is not paid within
five (5) business days of the due date, or (ii) a check received by Landlord from Tenant shall be
dishonored, then because actual damages for a late payment or for a dishonored check are extremely
difficult to fix or ascertain, but recognizing that damage and injury result therefrom, Tenant
agrees to pay 5% of the amount due in (i) as liquidated damages for each late payment and 2.5% of
the amount due in (ii) as liquidated damages for each time a check is dishonored. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no payment shall be due under the foregoing sentence for the first late payment of
Rent in any twelve (12) month period if such Rent payment is made within five (5) business days
after written notice from Landlord to Tenant. Furthermore, if any payment of Rent shall not be
paid when due, the same shall bear interest, from the date when the same was due until the date
paid, at the Default Rate; provided, however, that no interest shall be due with respect to late
payments of Rent on the first occasion in any 12 month period unless Tenant fails to make such
payment within five (5) business days after Landlord gives Tenant notice of such delinquency. (The
grace periods herein provided are strictly related to the liquidated damages for, and interest on,
a late payment and shall in no way modify or stay Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent when it is due,
nor shall the same preclude Landlord from pursuing its remedies under this Article 14, or as
otherwise allowed by law.)
Section 14.05. Remedies Cumulative. Each right and remedy of Landlord provided for in
this Lease shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right or
remedy provided for in this Lease now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or
otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Landlord of any one or more of the
rights or remedies provided for in this Lease now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous exercise by Landlord of any or all other
rights or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
by statute or otherwise.
Section 14.06. Landlord’s Obligation to Make Payments. Tenant shall not be entitled
to offset against Rent any payments due from Landlord to Tenant except as expressly set forth
herein.
Section 14.07. Landlord Defaults.
(a) Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s
obligations under the terms of this Lease unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform
such obligation within thirty (30) days after notice by Tenant to Landlord (“Tenant Default
Notice”) specifying the manner in which Landlord has failed to perform any such obligations
(provided, however, if Landlord promptly commences to cure the default and diligently pursues the
cure, but such default is not capable of being cured by Landlord within the said thirty (30) day
period and Landlord so notifies Tenant promptly (but in any event within thirty (30) days after
such Tenant Default Notice is given) together with an estimate of the reasonable time required for
such cure, Landlord shall
- 45 -
be allowed such longer period, , but in no event longer than 180 days). The provisions of
this Section 14.07 shall not apply to Landlord’s obligations to complete the Landlord Work, the
sole and exclusive remedies for which are set forth in Section 1.03 of this Lease.
(b) Tenant’s Self-Help Right. If Landlord is in default in the performance of any of
its obligations hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods, then Tenant shall have the
right to remedy such default on Landlord’s behalf (provided that Tenant uses reasonable efforts to
avoid violating or rendering void any warranties maintained by Landlord) after ten (10) business
days prior notice to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant within 30 days after
invoice for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection therewith to the
extent in excess of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses that Tenant would have been
obligated to pay had Landlord performed such obligations within applicable notice and cure periods,
together with interest at the Default Rate, and if not so paid then Tenant shall have the right to
recover the same by an abatement of Base Rent, provided that such abatement shall cease at such
time as and to the extent that payment of the full amount then due Tenant hereunder is tendered to
Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord disputes Tenant’s right to xxxxx Base Rent, or
the amount of the abatement, such dispute shall be resolved in an arbitration proceeding pursuant
to the immediately following paragraph prior to any abatement of disputed amounts by Tenant and if
the amount of the abatement is more than 20% of the aggregate amount of Base Rent due in any month,
then the amount abated in any one month shall not exceed 20% of the Base Rent and the excess amount
of the abatement shall be carried forward with interest at the Default Rate. Tenant’s self-help
rights under this paragraph shall be exercised by Tenant only (i) with respect to conditions
actually existing within the Premises or, in the event of an emergency, in common areas of the
Building, and (ii) with respect to conditions that materially affect Tenant’s ability to use and
enjoy the Premises and to conduct Tenant’s operations therein. Tenant is not precluded from
entering into other tenant spaces in the exercise of the foregoing self-help rights to the extent
reasonably necessary to access common areas of the Building; provided, however, that (x) any such
entry by Tenant’s shall be at its own risk and expense and (y) Tenant obtains, in advance, an
agreement from the other tenant allowing such entry. The provisions of this paragraph may not be
exercised by any subtenants of Tenant.
Any arbitration decision under this paragraph shall be enforceable in accordance with
applicable law in any court of proper jurisdiction. Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord
requests arbitration by notice to Tenant, the parties shall direct the Boston office of the AAA to
appoint an arbitrator who shall have a minimum of ten (10) years experience in commercial real
estate disputes and who shall not be affiliated with either Landlord or Tenant. Both Landlord and
Tenant shall have the opportunity to present evidence and outside consultants to the arbitrator.
The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA
insofar as such rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease (in which case the
provisions of this Lease shall govern). The cost of the arbitration (exclusive of each party’s
witness and attorneys’ fees, which shall be paid by such party) shall be borne equally by the
parties. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties
shall comply with any orders of the arbitrator(s) establishing deadlines for any such proceeding.

Article 15.
Surrender
Section 15.01. Obligation to Surrender. Tenant shall, upon any expiration or earlier
termination of the term of this Lease, remove all of Tenant’s Property from the Premises unless
otherwise approved by Landlord in writing. Tenant shall peaceably vacate and surrender to the
Landlord the Premises and deliver all keys, locks thereto, and subject to Section 8.01 all
alterations and additions made to or upon the Premises, in the same condition as they were at the
commencement of the term, or as they were put in during the term hereof, reasonable wear and tear
and, to the extent Landlord is required to restore the same, damage by fire or other casualty or
taking or condemnation by public authority excepted. In the event of the Tenant’s failure to
remove any of Tenant’s Property from the Premises, Landlord is hereby authorized, without liability
to Tenant for loss or damage thereto, and at the sole risk of Tenant, to remove and store any of
the property at Tenant’s expense, or to retain same under Landlord’s control or to sell at public
or private sale, after thirty (30) days notice to Tenant at its address last known to Landlord, any
or all of the property not so removed and to apply the net proceeds of such sale to the payment of
any sum due hereunder, or to destroy such property.
Section 15.02. Holdover Remedies. If Tenant (or anyone claiming by, through, or under
Tenant) shall remain in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease with respect thereto without any agreement in writing executed
with Landlord, Tenant shall be deemed a tenant at sufferance. After the expiration or earlier
termination of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at the higher of (x) 150% of the
Base Rent in effect immediately preceding such expiration or termination or, (y) 150% of the
then-market rate for the Premises, and, in either case, with all Additional Rent payable and
covenants of Tenant in force as otherwise herein provided, and, commencing on the date that is 45
days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord
for all damages arising from such failure to surrender and vacate the Premises, including damages
arising from the loss of a replacement lease transaction. Notwithstanding the forgoing to the
contrary, clause (y) of this paragraph, above, shall not apply in the event that the Lease
terminates prior to its scheduled expiration on account of the exercise of termination rights by
either party pursuant to Article 11 or Tenant pursuant to Section 7.06.
Section 15.03. Decommissioning. Prior to the expiration of this Lease (or within 30
days after any earlier termination), Tenant shall clean and otherwise decommission all interior
surfaces (including floors, walls, ceilings, and counters), process piping, process supply lines,
process waste lines and process plumbing in the Premises, and all exhaust or other ductwork in the
Premises, in each case which has carried or released or been exposed to any Hazardous Materials
(other than ordinary and customary office supplies and cleaning fluids) from the operations of
Tenant or any person claiming by or through Tenant, and shall otherwise clean the Premises so that:
- 47 -
(a) the Hazardous Materials from Tenant (or any person claiming by or through Tenant)
operations, to the extent, if any, existing prior to such decommissioning, have been removed as
necessary so that the interior surfaces (including floors, walls, ceilings, and counters), process
piping, process supply lines, process waste lines and process plumbing, and all such exhaust or
other ductwork, may be reused by a subsequent tenant or disposed of in compliance with applicable
Environmental Laws without taking any special precautions for Hazardous Materials, without
incurring special costs or undertaking special procedures for demolition, disposal, investigation,
assessment, cleaning or removal of Hazardous Materials and without incurring regulatory compliance
requirements or giving notice in connection with Hazardous Materials; and
(b) the Premises may be reoccupied for office, laboratory or research and development use,
demolished or renovated without taking any special precautions for Hazardous Materials, without
incurring special costs or undertaking special procedures for disposal, investigation, assessment,
cleaning or removal of Hazardous Materials and without incurring regulatory requirements or giving
notice in connection with Hazardous Materials.
Further, for purposes of clauses (a) and (b): (i) materials previously or hereafter generated
from operations shall not be deemed part of the Premises, and (ii) “special costs” or “special
procedures” shall mean costs or procedures, as the case may be, that would not be incurred but for
the nature of the Hazardous Materials as Hazardous Materials instead of non-Hazardous Materials.
Prior to the expiration of this Lease (or within 30 days after any earlier termination), Tenant, at
Tenant’s expense, shall obtain for Landlord a report addressed to Landlord (and, at Tenant’s
election, Tenant) by a reputable licensed environmental engineer that is designated by Tenant and
acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, which report shall be based on the
environmental engineer’s inspection of the Premises and shall confirm that Tenant has complied with
the requirements of this Section 15.03. The report shall include reasonable detail concerning the
clean-up location, the tests run and the analytic results.
Tenant may, by written request made no earlier than six months prior to the then-scheduled
expiration of the term of this Lease, request that Landlord approve the scope of Tenant’s
decommissioning activities under this Section 15.03 in writing, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 15.04. Failure to Decommission. If Tenant fails to perform its obligations
under Section 15.03 within ten (10) days after the expiration of the term of this Lease, without
limiting any other right or remedy, Landlord may, on five (5) business days prior written notice to
Tenant perform such obligations at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant shall promptly reimburse Landlord
upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such
work. In addition, any such reimbursement shall include a ten percent (10%) administrative fee
(but in no event less than $1,000) to cover Landlord’s overhead in undertaking such work and, if
the expiration of the term has occurred on account of a Tenant default or if the Landlord has,
prior to the regularly scheduled expiration of the term, previously approved the scope of Tenant’s
decommissioning activities under Section 15.03 in writing, then Tenant shall be deemed to be in
occupancy of the Premises as a holdover occupant subject to Section 15.02 until the
- 48 -
obligations are fully performed. The reimbursement and administrative fee shall be Additional
Rent. Tenant’s obligations under this Article 15 of this Lease shall survive the termination of
this Lease.
Article 16.
Quiet Enjoyment
Section 16.01. Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, subject to any ground leases,
deeds of trust and mortgages to which this Lease is from time to time subordinate in accordance
with Article 10, upon paying the Rent and performing and complying with all covenants, agreements,
terms and conditions of this Lease on its part to be performed or complied with, shall not be
prevented by the Landlord, or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, from lawfully and
quietly holding, occupying and enjoying the Premises during the term of this Lease, except as
specifically provided for by the terms hereof. This covenant is in lieu of any other so-called
quiet enjoyment covenant, either express or implied.
Article 17.
Acceptance of Surrender
Section 17.01. Acceptance of Surrender. No surrender to Landlord of this Lease or of
the Premises or any part thereof or of any interest therein by Tenant shall be valid or effective
unless required by the provisions of this Lease or unless agreed to and accepted in writing by
Landlord. No act on the part of any representative or agent of Landlord, and no act on the part of
Landlord other than such a written agreement and acceptance by Landlord, shall constitute or be
deemed an acceptance of any such surrender.
Article 18.

- 51 -
use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the foregoing annual financial statements for

shall have the right (at no additional charge, other than to the extent provided as Operating

Premises) non-designated parking spaces as may be reasonably necessary to accommodate officers,
employees, guests, invitees and clients, in connection with the operation of its business following
the initial Commencement Date. Included within the foregoing spaces are 35 (based on a ratio of 1
per 2,800 rentable square feet of the Premises) non-designated parking spaces located in the
parking garage on the lower level of the Building, with direct access to the Building lobby serving
the Premises. The balance of Tenant’s parking spaces shall be located in the areas shown on
Exhibit 20.10, attached. At Landlord’s election and at no cost to Tenant, Landlord may
designate parking spaces for exclusive use by Tenant and other tenants of the Property and may
install signage or implement a pass or sticker system to control parking use, and may employ valet
parking to meet the requirements of this Section. To the extent applicable to Tenant’s use of the
parking spaces, the provisions of the Lease shall apply, including rules and regulations of general
applicability from time to time promulgated by Landlord.
Section 20.11. Future Development. (a) Landlord reserves all rights as may be
necessary or desirable to construct additional structured parking at the Property in the location
shown on Exhibit 20.11 or, if otherwise permitted under this Section 20.11(a), one or more
additions to the Building. In connection with any such additional development, exterior common
areas and facilities at the Property may be eliminated, altered, or relocated and may also be
utilized to serve the Building addition(s) and other new improvements. The rights set forth above
shall include rights to use portions of the Property (other than the Premises) for the purpose of
temporary construction staging and related activities and to implement valet parking for reserved
and unreserved parking spaces for the purpose of facilitating construction during such activities.
Landlord agrees that, so long as no Event of Default is continuing under this Lease, it shall not
construct any material additions to the Building unless such construction is in accordance with the
exercise of Tenant’s rights pursuant to Article 25 and it shall not construct any additional
structured parking that would inhibit Tenant’s rights pursuant to Article 25 in any material
manner.
(b) Landlord and its representatives, contractors, agents, employees and licensees shall have
the right during any construction period to enter the Premises to undertake such work; to shore up
the foundations and/or walls of the Premises and other improvements at the Property; to erect
scaffolding and protective barricades around the Premises or in other locations within or adjacent
to the other improvements at the Property; and to do any other act necessary for the safety of the
Premises or other improvements at the Property or the expeditious completion of such construction.
Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business and to
minimize the extent and duration of any inconvenience, annoyance or
- 52 -
disturbance to Tenant resulting from any work pursuant to this Section in or about the
Premises or Property, consistent with accepted construction practice, and so long as Landlord uses
such reasonable efforts Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of
Rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business resulting from any act by
Landlord pursuant to this Section.
(c) In connection with the foregoing or as Landlord may otherwise reasonably determine is
necessary to accommodate the financing or operation of the Building, Landlord may create a
subsidiary condominium or subject the Property to a ground lease. In the event the Building is
submitted to a subsidiary condominium regime, the Property shall be deemed to be the condominium
unit in which the Premises is located and all common areas and facilities serving such unit of the
condominium, and, at the request of either Landlord or Tenant, Exhibit 1.01-2 shall be
amended accordingly. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any such ground lease or
condominium (and covenants and easements granted in connection therewith) so long as the same are
not inconsistent in any material respect with Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Tenant agrees to
enter into any instruments reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with the foregoing so
long as the same do not decrease the rights or increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease,
including a subordination of this Lease to a ground lease or documents creating a subsidiary
condominium at the Property. Tenant agrees not to take any action to oppose any application by
Landlord for any permits, consents or approvals from any governmental authorities for any
redevelopment or additional development of all or any part of the Property, and will use all
commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any of Tenant’s subtenants or assigns (collectively,
“Tenant Responsible Parties”) from doing so. For purposes hereof, action to oppose any
such application shall include, without limitation, communications with any governmental
authorities requesting that any such application be limited or altered. Also for purposes hereof,
commercially reasonable efforts shall include, without limitation, commercially reasonable efforts,
upon receiving notice of any such action to oppose any application on the part of any Tenant
Responsible Parties, to obtain injunctive relief, and, in the case of a subtenant, exercising
remedies against the subtenant under its sublease. Landlord will reimburse Tenant for all
reasonable third party attorneys’ fees that Tenant incurs to review any such documents and
agreements.
Section 20.12. Signage. So long as the Tenant originally named herein, or any
successor or assign acquiring Tenant’s interest in the Lease in a merger or acquisition of all or
substantially all of Tenant’s business and assets, is the Tenant hereunder, the Premises consist of
at least 80,000 rentable square feet and continues to include the 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx entrance and
lobby, and subject to applicable laws, codes and ordinances, Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, may install
the signage described on Exhibit 20.12, attached. Any signage installed by Tenant pursuant
to this paragraph shall be the responsibility of Tenant, and the design of such signage shall be
subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed. All signage described in this Section 20.12 shall be consistent in
quality with similar signage in first class office, laboratory, research and development buildings.

obtain the approvals necessary for all such signage.

exonerate and save harmless and indemnify the other against any loss, cost, claim or expense
(including reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from its breach of the forgoing representation and
warranty. Brokers are to be paid by Landlord pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement.
Section 20.14. Force Majeure. In the event Landlord or Tenant shall be delayed or
hindered in or prevented from the performance of any act (excluding monetary obligations) required
under this Lease to be performed by such party by reason of strikes, lockouts, labor troubles,
inability to procure materials, failure of power, restricted governmental law or regulations,
riots, insurrection, war or other reason of a like nature not the fault of such party, then
performance of such act shall be excused for the period of the delay, and the period for the
performance of any such act shall be extended for a period equivalent to the period of such delay.
Nothing in this Section 20.14 shall excuse Landlord or Tenant’s failure to make payments under this
Lease when due.
Section 20.15. Limitations on Liability. None of the provisions of this Lease shall
cause Landlord to be liable to Tenant, or anyone claiming through or on behalf of Tenant, for any
special, indirect or consequential damages, including, without limitation, lost profits or
revenues. None of the provisions of this Lease shall cause Tenant to be liable to Landlord, or
anyone claiming through or on behalf of Landlord, for any special, indirect or consequential
damages, including, without limitation, lost profits or revenues, except for a breach of Section
5.02(b)-(c) of this Lease or as otherwise provided in Section 15.02 of this Lease, and provided
that no remedy expressly set forth in this Lease shall be deemed special, indirect or
consequential. In no event shall any individual partner, officer, shareholder, trustee,
beneficiary, director, agent or similar party be liable for the performance of or by Landlord or
Tenant under this Lease or any amendment, modification or agreement with respect to this Lease.
Tenant agrees to look solely to Landlord’s interest in the Property in connection with the
enforcement of Landlord’s obligations in this Lease.
Section 20.16. Certain Definitions. The expression “the original term” means the
period of years referred to in Article 2. Prior to the exercise by Tenant of any election to
extend the original term, the expression “the term of this Lease” or any equivalent expression

(except an action for possession by Landlord, which may be brought in whatever manner or place
provided by law) shall be brought in the Trial Court, Superior Court Department, in the county
where the Premises are located. Tenant expressly submits and consents in advance to such
jurisdiction in any action or proceeding commenced in such court, hereby waiving personal service

the Premises and all such additions, reconstruction and eliminations are consistent with a first
class office building in the suburban Boston area. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to
interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business and to minimize the extent and duration of any
inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant resulting from any work pursuant to this
paragraph in or about the Premises or Building, consistent with accepted construction practice, and
so long as Landlord uses such reasonable efforts Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any
compensation or reduction of Rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business
resulting from any act by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph.
Section 20.20. Tenant as non-Specially Designated National or Blocked Person. Tenant
hereby warrants, represents and certifies Tenant is not acting, directly or indirectly, for or on
behalf of any person, group, entity, or nation named by any Executive Order or the United States

non-exclusive, and irrevocable (except upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease)
license at no additional charge, but otherwise subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease,
to use a contiguous portion of the roof of the Building approved by Landlord (the “Rooftop
Installation Areas”) to operate, maintain, repair and replace heating, ventilation and
air-conditioning equipment and telecommunications transmission and receiving equipment for Tenant’s
own use, such as a satellite dish, microwave dish, and the like, in each case appurtenant to the
Permitted Uses installed as part of Finish Work or otherwise as permitted pursuant to Article 8
(“Rooftop Equipment”). The exact location and layout of the Rooftop Installation Areas
shall be approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion and shall not exceed in area the
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of rooftop areas made available to tenants in the Building for similar
purposes.
- 56 -
Section 21.02. Installation and Maintenance of Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall
install Rooftop Equipment at its sole cost and expense, at such times and in such manner as
Landlord may reasonably designate and in accordance with all of the provisions of this Lease,
including without limitation Article 8. Tenant shall not install or operate Rooftop Equipment
until it receives prior written approval of the plans for such work in accordance with Article 8.
Landlord may withhold approval if the installation or operation of Rooftop Equipment reasonably
would be expected to damage the structural integrity of the Building. Tenant shall cooperate with
Landlord as reasonably required to accommodate any re-roofing of the Building during the Lease term
and Tenant shall be responsible for any costs associated with moving or temporarily relocation
Tenant’s Roof Equipment to the extent such Rooftop Equipment is not attached to the roof with
permanent flashing or equivalent measures consistent with the permanent installation of such
Rooftop Equipment (as opposed to surface mounting or use of ballasts). Tenant’s access to the
rooftop for the purposes of exercising its rights and obligations under this Article 21 shall be
limited to Normal Business Hours by prior appointment with the property manager, except in the case
of emergencies threatening life or personal property.
Tenant shall engage Landlord’s roofer before beginning any rooftop installations or repairs of
Rooftop Equipment, whether under this Article 21 or otherwise, and shall always comply with the
roof warranty governing the protection of the roof and modifications to the roof. Tenant shall
obtain a letter from Landlord’s roofer following completion of such work stating that the roof
warranty remains in effect. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause a qualified
contractor to inspect the Rooftop Installation Areas periodically (and at least two times per year)
and correct any loose bolts, fittings or other appurtenances and shall repair any damage to the
roof caused by the installation or operation of Rooftop Equipment. Tenant shall pay Landlord
following a written request therefor, with the next payment of Rent, (i) all applicable taxes or
governmental charges, fees, or impositions imposed on Landlord because of Tenant’s use of the
Rooftop Installation Areas and (ii) the amount of any increase in Landlord’s insurance premiums as
a result of the installation of Rooftop Equipment. All Rooftop Equipment shall be screened or
otherwise designed so that it is not visible from the ground level of the Property.
Section 21.03. Indemnification. Indemnification. Tenant agrees that the
installation, operation and removal of Rooftop Equipment shall be at its sole risk. Tenant shall
indemnify and defend Landlord and the other Indemnitees against any liability, claim or cost,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the loss of life, personal
injury, damage to property or business or any other loss or injury (except to the extent due to the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents, or contractors) arising out
of the installation, use, operation, or removal of Rooftop Equipment by Tenant or its employees,
agents, or contractors, including any liability arising out of Tenant’s violation of this Article
21. Subject to the provisions of Section 21.05, Landlord assumes no responsibility for
interference in the operation of Rooftop Equipment caused by other tenants’ equipment, or for
interference in the operation of other tenants’ equipment caused by Rooftop Equipment; provided,
however, that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the rights of Tenant
under this Lease to the extent the same are superior to that of any other tenants of the Property
and shall comply with the provisions of Section 21.05, below. The provisions of this Section 21.03
shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
- 57 -
Section 21.04. Removal of Rooftop Equipment. Upon the expiration or earlier
termination of the Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall (i) remove Rooftop Equipment
from the Rooftop Installation Areas in accordance with the provisions of this Lease and (ii) leave
the Rooftop Installation Areas in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. If
Tenant does not remove Rooftop Equipment when so required, Landlord may remove and dispose of it
and charge Tenant for all costs and expenses incurred.
Section 21.05. Interference by Rooftop Equipment. Landlord may grant future roof
rights to other parties, and Landlord shall be contractually obligated to cause such other parties
to eliminate and avoid interference with Rooftop Equipment to the same or greater extent as Tenant
is so obligated. If Rooftop Equipment (i) causes physical damage to the structural integrity of
the Building, (ii) materially interferes with any telecommunications, mechanical or other systems
located at or servicing (as of the initial Delivery Date) the Building, or (iii) interferes with
any other service provided to other tenants in the Building by rooftop installations installed
prior to the installation of Rooftop Equipment, in each case in excess of that permissible under
F.C.C. or other regulations (to the extent that such regulations apply and do not require such
tenants or those providing such services to correct such interference or damage), Tenant shall
within five (5) business days of notice of a claim of interference or damage cooperate with
Landlord or any other tenant or third party making such claim to determine the source of the damage
or interference and effect a prompt solution at Tenant’s expense (if Rooftop Equipment caused such
interference or damage). In the event Tenant disputes Landlord’s allegation that Rooftop Equipment
is causing a problem with the Building (including, but not limited to, the electrical, HVAC, and
mechanical systems of the Building) and/or any other Building tenants’ equipment in the Building,
in writing delivered within five (5) business days of receiving Landlord’s notice claiming such
interference, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet to discuss a solution, and if within seven (7)
days of their initial meeting Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve the dispute, then the
matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions set forth below.
The parties shall direct the Boston office of the AAA to appoint an arbitrator who shall have
a minimum of ten (10) years experience in commercial real estate disputes and who shall not be
affiliated with either Landlord or Tenant. Both Landlord and Tenant shall have the opportunity to
present evidence and outside consultants to the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in
accordance with the commercial real estate arbitration rules of the AAA insofar as such rules are
not inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease (in which case the provisions of this Lease
shall govern). The cost of the arbitration (exclusive of each party’s witness and attorneys’ fees,
which shall be paid by such party) shall be borne equally by the parties. Within ten (10) days of
appointment, the arbitrator shall determine whether or not Rooftop Equipment is causing a problem
with the Building and/or any other Building tenants’ equipment in the Building, and the appropriate
resolution, if any. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding on the parties. If
Tenant shall fail to cooperate with Landlord in resolving any such interference or if Tenant shall
fail to implement the arbitrator’s decision within ten (10) days after it is issued, Landlord may
at any time thereafter (i) declare an Event of Default and/or (ii) relocate the item(s) of Rooftop
Equipment in dispute in a manner consistent with the arbitral decision.
- 58 -
Section 21.06. Relocation of Rooftop Equipment. Based on Landlord’s good faith
determination that such a relocation is necessary, Landlord reserves the right to cause Tenant to
relocate Rooftop Equipment located on the roof to comparably functional space on the roof by giving
Tenant prior notice of such intention to relocate. If within thirty (30) days after receipt of
such notice Tenant has not agreed with Landlord on the space to which Rooftop Equipment is to be
relocated , the functional utility of such location, the timing of such relocation, and the terms
of such relocation, then either party may submit such dispute to arbitration pursuant to Section
21.05, above (except that the arbitrators determination shall be of the space to which Rooftop
Equipment is to be relocated, the timing of such relocation, and the terms of such relocation).
Landlord agrees to pay the reasonable cost of moving Rooftop Equipment to such other space, taking
such other steps necessary to ensure comparable functionality of Rooftop Equipment, and finishing
such space to a condition comparable to the then condition of the current location of Rooftop
Equipment. Such payment by Landlord shall not constitute an Operating Expense under this Lease.
Tenant shall arrange for the relocation of Rooftop Equipment within sixty (60) days after a
comparable space is agreed upon or determined by arbitration, as the case may be. In the event
Tenant fails to arrange for said relocation within the sixty (60) day period, Landlord shall have
the right to arrange for the relocation of Rooftop Equipment at Landlord’s expense, all of which
shall be performed in a manner designed to minimize interference with Tenant’s business.
Article 22.

Extension Notice or at the time the applicable Option Term would commence, or (ii) no sublets of
more than 50% of the Premises are then in effect that required Landlord’s consent under Article 13,
Tenant shall have the right, at its election, to extend the original term of this Lease for two (2)
additional periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Option Term”) commencing upon the

otherwise provided in this Lease, all the agreements and conditions in this Lease contained shall
apply to the applicable Option Term, including without limitation the obligation to pay Additional
Rent for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses. If
Tenant shall give written notice as provided in Section 18.01 of the exercise of the election in
the manner and within the time provided aforesaid, the term shall be extended upon the giving of
the notice without the requirement of any action on the part of Landlord.
- 59 -
Section 22.02. Extension Rent. The annual Base Rent payable during any Option Term
shall be the greater of (x) ninety-five percent (95%) of the Market Rent as determined in the
manner set forth in Section 22.03, 22.04 and 22.05, below, or (y) $27.05 per rentable square foot
per annum. If the annual Base Rent for any Option Term has not been determined by the commencement
date of such Option Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at the last annual rental rate in effect for
the expiring Term until such time as annual Base Rent for the Option Term has been determined.
Upon such determination, the Base Rent for the Premises shall be retroactively adjusted to the
commencement of the Option Term. If such adjustment results in an underpayment of Base Rent by
Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such underpayment within 30 days after the
determination thereof. If such adjustment results in an overpayment of Base Rent by Tenant,
Landlord shall credit such overpayment against the next installment of Base Rent due under the
Lease and, to the extent necessary, any subsequent installments, until the entire amount of such
overpayment has been credited against Base Rent.
Section 22.03. Market Rent. If Tenant gives Landlord timely notice of its election to
extend the then current term of this Lease, then within thirty (30) days thereafter, Landlord shall
give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s estimate of the then applicable market rent for Tenant’s
space, based on the rent for similar space in the Property and rent for similar space in similar
first class suburban office buildings in Waltham area (the “Market Rent”) for the Premises
in its then as-is condition (or such better condition as Tenant shall be required to maintain under
this Lease), taking into account all of the factors that a landlord and tenant would consider in
negotiating an arms-length rent (however, in no event shall the determination of Market Rent treat
any portion of the Premises as being used for research or laboratory purposes, but rather that said
determination of Market Rent shall treat the entire Premises as being used for office purposes for
the purposes of determining such Market Rent). For each year of an Option Term after the first
year of such Option Term, Base Rent shall never be decreased below that paid in the prior lease
year, but may or may not, on account of the determination of Market Rent, increase.
Section 22.04. Tenant’s Right to Dispute Market Rent. In the event that Tenant
disputes the Market Rent estimate provided by Landlord, Tenant may, within 15 days of its receipt
of notice from Landlord estimating such Market Rent, either (i) elect to withdraw its request for
an extension, in which case there shall be no extension of the term of this Lease, or (ii) give
notice to Landlord of such dispute and require that both Landlord and Tenant enter into a 15 day
good faith negotiating period to see if Landlord and Tenant come to a mutual agreement in
establishing the Market Rent. If Landlord and Tenant can come to agreement as to the Market Rent
within such 15 day period, then the Market Rent shall be set for the purposes of the Option Term as
the parties agree. If Landlord and Tenant cannot come to an agreement in establishing Market Rent
within such 15 day period, then Tenant may either (x) elect to withdraw its request for an
extension, in which case there shall be no extensions of the term of this lease, or (y) give notice
to Landlord requiring that the establishment of the Market Rent be submitted to arbitration in
accordance with the terms set forth in Section 22.05 below. If Tenant does not so dispute
Landlord’s estimated Market Rent within the 15 day period first referenced in this paragraph,
Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted Landlord’s estimate of Market Rent. In no event shall the
- 60 -
extension of the term of this Lease be affected by the determination of the Market Rent, such
exercise of extension being fixed at the time at which notice is given (subject to the provisions
of clauses (i) and (x), above).
Section 22.05. Arbitration of Market Rent. In the event Landlord and Tenant shall be
unable to agree on the then Market Rent for the purposes of determining the Base Rent for the
applicable Option Term, then Market Rent shall be established in the following manner of
arbitration:
(a) Each of Tenant and Landlord shall choose an arbitrator knowledgeable in the field of
establishing fair rental values in the Waltham Class A office market;
(b) The arbitrators selected in accordance with “(a)” above shall select a third arbitrator
who is a qualified real estate appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the appraisal
of first class office buildings in the Waltham Class A office market;
(c) The selections shall be completed no later than twenty-one (21) days after Tenant’s notice
requiring the arbitration of Market Rent. If any selection is not made within the 21-day time
period, either party may petition the Boston office of the AAA to make the selection;
(d) Within thirty (30) days after their appointment, the arbitrators shall determine the
Market Rent for the Premises for the Option Term, and shall notify Tenant and Landlord of such
determination within seven (7) days, which determination shall be final and binding upon Tenant and
Landlord. If the arbitrators are unable to agree upon the Market Rent, the Market Rent will be
deemed to be the average of the Market Rents proposed by the arbitrators, except that (i) if the
lowest proposed Market Rent is less than 90% of the second to lowest proposed fair market rent, the
lowest proposed Market Rent will automatically be deemed to be 90% of the second to lowest proposed
Market Rent and (ii) if the highest proposed Market Rent is greater than 110% of the second to
highest proposed Market Rent, the highest proposed Market Rent will automatically be deemed to be
110% of the second to highest proposed Market Rent.
(e) The foregoing arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration
rules of the AAA or its successors;
(f) Landlord and Tenant shall each pay all costs of the arbitrator it selected and one-half
(1/2) of all other costs of the arbitration proceedings.
- 61 -
For the purpose of determining Market Rent the parties shall use as a guideline the average
rental rates for similar available office space (and shall value the subject space as 100% office
space without regard for any research or laboratory use by Tenant) in similar office buildings in
the Waltham market.
Article 23.
Right of First Refusal
Section 23.01. Right of First Refusal. Prior to January 17, 2011 (the “RFR
Termination Date”), before entering into the initial lease for all or any portion of the third
floor of the Building not initially leased to Tenant hereunder or any portion of the first floor of
the Building shown on the attached Exhibit 23.01 (collectively, the “First Refusal
Space”) with a third party (other than Exempt RFR Transactions, as defined below), and provided
that Landlord has received a written proposal or counter-proposal for the applicable First Refusal
Space that Landlord is willing to accept (or Landlord has received an acceptance of a proposal
initiated by Landlord, whether or not such acceptance is binding), Landlord shall offer the
applicable First Refusal Space to Tenant for lease by written notice to Tenant (“Landlord’s FR
Notice”). Within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s FR Notice, Tenant may, by
written notice delivered to Landlord, (i) reject Landlord’s FR Notice, or (ii) accept Landlord’s
offer to lease such space for its own use on the terms set forth in this Article 23 (the failure by
Tenant to timely respond as aforesaid being deemed Tenant’s rejection of Landlord’s FR Notice
pursuant to clause (i), above).
If Landlord’s FR Notice is rejected under clause (i) above (or deemed rejected by Tenant’s
failure to timely respond), then Landlord may enter into any lease for such space on materially the
same terms set forth in such Landlord’s FR Notice, provided that Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
new Landlord’s FR Notice prior to entering into an initial lease for the applicable First Refusal
Space (a) with any third party other than the party (or an affiliate of the party) that previously
made the offer to, or accepted an offer from, Landlord giving rise to such prior Landlord’s FR
Notice, or (b) on terms materially more favorable to the party (or an affiliate of the party) that
previously made the offer to, or accepted an offer from, Landlord giving rise to such prior
Landlord’s FR Notice, than those terms set forth in such prior Landlord’s FR Notice (it being
agreed that a net effective rental rate (after taking into account base rent, tenant improvement
allowances, free rent and other concessions) of at least 95% of the net effective rental rate set
forth in Landlord’s FR Notice does not constitute materially more favorable terms).
If Tenant timely accepts Landlord’s offer to lease the space as set forth in clause (ii)
above, the space shall, subject to the following paragraph below and without further action by the
parties, be leased by Tenant in its “as is” condition, without any obligation to construct tenant
or other improvements (except that Landlord shall be responsible, at Landlord’s sole cost and
expense, to separately demise the space), and otherwise on the terms and conditions then applicable
to the remainder of the Premises (e.g. the Base Rent shall be at the then-applicable rate,
escalating as otherwise provided in Section 2.01) except that (x) the Finish Work
- 62 -
Allowance shall be reduced with respect to the applicable First Refusal Space on a pro rata
basis for the actual initial lease term for such First Refusal Space (e.g. if the term of the First
Refusal Space is eight years, then the Finish Work Allowance for the First Refusal Space would be
96/126ths of the Finish Work Allowance applicable to the remainder of the Premises on a per square
foot basis), (y) the rent commencement date with respect to the applicable First Refusal Space
shall be no later than the later to occur of (i) the Rent Commencement Date for the Office Portion
of the Premises or (ii) seven (7) months after the execution of the amendment described in the
immediately following sentence, and (z) the estimated delivery date that Landlord shall deliver the
applicable First Refusal Space to Tenant for the commencement of construction of any Tenant Work
shall be no later than the sixty (60) days after the execution of the amendment described in the
immediately following sentence. At the request of either party, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly
execute and deliver an agreement confirming such expansion of the Premises and the estimated date
the Premises are to be expanded pursuant to this Paragraph with a provision for establishing the
effective date of such expansion based on actual delivery. Tenant shall execute any such amendment
within 21 days following tender by Landlord provided that such amendment complies with the terms of
this Article 23. If Landlord fails to deliver the First Refusal Space within 90 days of the
estimated delivery date set forth in Landlord’s FR Notice, then Tenant, at its option, may either
(x) terminate its obligations with respect to the First Refusal Space upon 30 days prior written
notice to Landlord, whereupon all obligations of the parties hereto with respect to the First
Refusal Space shall be null and void and without recourse to either party unless Landlord delivers
the First Refusal Space within such 30 day period, in which case Tenant’s termination notice shall
be null and void and of no further force and effect or (y) if such failure results from matters
within Landlord’s reasonable control and is not cured within 30 days following written notice from
Tenant, pursue any of its equitable remedies to cause Landlord to deliver such First Refusal Space
to Tenant and bring a claim for monetary damages against Landlord, but in no event shall such
failure constitute a default of Landlord, result in a right of Tenant to terminate the Lease with
respect to the remainder of the Premises, or affect the validity of the Lease.
In no event shall the rights under this Section 23.01 apply to (x) leases subsequent to the
initial lease or leases of all or any portion of the First Refusal Space (such leases, “Initial
Leases”), or (y) any space offered to lease for use as a building amenity, such as a cafeteria
or fitness center (collectively, “Exempt RFR Transactions”).
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, Tenant’s rights under this
Section shall terminate on the RFR Termination Date and shall be void, at Landlord’s election, if
(i) Tenant is in default hereunder, after any applicable notice and cure periods have expired, at
any time prior to the time Tenant makes any election with respect to the First Refusal Space under
this Section or at the time the First Refusal Space would be added to the Premises, or (ii)
subleases of more than 50% of the Premises are in effect that required Landlord’s consent under
Article 13 at the time Tenant makes any election with respect to the First Refusal Space under this
Section or at the time the First Refusal Space would be added to the Premises.
In connection with the rights granted under this Article 23, Landlord shall, prior to the RFR
Termination Date, keep Tenant reasonably informed from time to time of the leasing status of any
then-available Right of First Refusal space.
- 63 -
Article 24.
Right of First Offer
Section 24.01. Right of First Offer. Following the RFR Termination Date, before
entering into a lease for all or any portion of the Building (the “First Offer Space”) with
a third party (other than Exempt RFO Transactions, as defined below), Landlord shall notify Tenant
of the terms on which Landlord intends to lease the space (“Landlord’s FO Notice”). Within
five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s FO Notice, Tenant may, by written notice
delivered to Landlord, (i) reject Landlord’s FO Notice, or (ii) unconditionally and irrevocably
accept Landlord’s offer to lease such space for its own use on the terms set forth in Landlord’s FO
Notice (the failure by Tenant to timely respond as aforesaid being deemed Tenant’s rejection of
Landlord’s FO Notice pursuant to clause (i), above).
If Landlord’s FO Notice is rejected under clause (i) above (or deemed rejected by Tenant’s
failure to timely respond), then Landlord may enter into any lease for such space on materially the
same net financial terms set forth in such Landlord’s FO Notice, provided that Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant a new Landlord’s FO Notice prior to entering into an initial lease for the First
Offer Space providing for a net effective rental rate (taking into account base rent, tenant
improvement allowances, free rent and other concessions) more than five (5) percent less than that
specified in Landlord’s FO Notice.
If Tenant timely accepts Landlord’s offer to lease the space as set forth in clause (ii)
above, then the space shall, subject to the following paragraph below and without further action by
the parties, be leased by Tenant on the accepted terms (but in any event for a term not less than
the shorter of three years or the then-remaining term of this Lease) and otherwise on all of the
terms of the Lease in effect immediately prior to such expansion, provided that, at the request of
either party, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver an agreement confirming such
expansion of the Premises and the estimated date the Premises are to be expanded pursuant to this
Paragraph with a provision for establishing the effective date of such expansion based on actual
delivery. Except as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, Landlord’s failure to deliver, or
delay in delivering, all or any part of the First Offer Space, for any reason, shall not alter
Tenant’s obligation to accept such space when delivered, shall not constitute a default of
Landlord, and shall not affect the validity of the Lease, provided, however, that if Landlord fails
to deliver the First Offer Space within 180 days of the date set forth for delivery in Landlord’s
FO Notice, then Tenant, at its sole option, may terminate its obligations with respect to the First
Offer Space upon 30 days prior written notice to Landlord, whereupon all obligations of the parties
hereto with respect to the First Offer Space shall be null and void and without recourse to either
party unless Landlord delivers the First Offer Space within such 30 day period, in which case
Tenant’s termination notice shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. Landlord
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to commence and diligently prosecute legal action to
evict any tenant holding over in First Offer Space subject to an accepted offer by Tenant pursuant
to this Section 24.01 commencing no later than the date that is 30 days following the date that
Landlord is anticipated to deliver such First Offer Space to Tenant.
- 64 -
In no event shall the rights under this Section 24.01 apply to (x) the initial lease for all
or any portion of the First Offer Space and the renewal or extension thereof (such leases,
“Initial Leases”), (y) any space offered to lease for use as a building amenity, such as a
cafeteria or fitness center, or (z) solely with respect to the first and second floor portions of
the First Offer Space, the exercise of an expansion right by a then-existing Building tenant or the
renewal or extension of leases by occupants of the first and second floor (collectively,
“Exempt RFO Transactions”).
Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, Tenant’s rights under this
Section shall terminate on the date that is one year prior to the Expiration Date and shall be
void, at Landlord’s election, if (i) Tenant is in default hereunder, after any applicable notice
and cure periods have expired, at any time prior to the time Tenant makes any election with respect
to the First Offer Space under this Section or at the time the First Offer Space would be added to
the Premises, or (ii) subleases of more than 50% of the Premises are in effect that required
Landlord’s consent under Article 13 at the time Tenant makes any election with respect to the First
Offer Space under this Section or at the time the First Offer Space would be added to the Premises.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to grant to Tenant any rights or interest in any space
in the Building, and any claims by Tenant alleging a failure of Landlord to comply herewith shall
be limited to claims for monetary damages. Tenant may not assert and hereby waives any rights in
any space nor file any lis pendens or similar notice with respect thereto.
Article 25.
Expansion Option
Section 25.01. Expansion Option. Tenant shall have the right to request that Landlord
pursue the expansion of the Building by approximately 45,000 rentable square feet upon at least 30
days prior written notice to Landlord. Following the giving of such written notice, Landlord and
Tenant shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon a schedule and budget for any such expansion,
which shall include a pre-development phase for permitting. Any such expansion shall be
conditioned upon (i) the parties entering into a mutually agreeable lease amendment at market rent
(taking into account the current building financing, financing available in the market, and
allowing a market return to Landlord on its costs to construct such expansion) and for a term of at
least 10 years (which may be achieved by use of any extension options under the Lease then
remaining) and (ii) Landlord’s ability to obtain the necessary permits for such expansion (using
good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to do so). Tenant shall have no right to request an
expansion under this section at any time that an Event of Default then exists, if Tenant ceases to
occupy at least 66% of the Premises, or if, at the time Tenant gives its notice or at any time
thereafter, there are at least 45,000 rentable square feet available for lease in the Building.
It is intended that this instrument will take effect as a sealed instrument.
