If at any time during the Term the methods of taxation prevailing on the date hereof shall be altered so that in lieu of, or as an addition to or as a substitute for, the whole or any part of such real estate taxes, assessments and special assessments now imposed on real estate there shall be levied, assessed or imposed (x) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition, license fee or charge wholly or partially as a capital levy or otherwise on the rents received therefrom, or (y) any other such additional or substitute tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge, then all such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions, fees or charges or the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be included within the term “Taxes” for the purposes hereof.
(B) The term “Tax Year” shall mean the period of twelve (12) calendar months beginning on January 1 of the year in which the Term commences, and each succeeding twelve (12)-month period thereafter.
Section 3.2 Any Taxes for a real estate fiscal tax year, a part of which is included within a particular Tax Year and a part of which is not so included, shall be apportioned on the basis of the number of days in the real estate fiscal tax year included in the particular Tax Year for the purpose of making the computations under Section 3.3.
Section 3.3 For each Tax Year, any part of which shall occur during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount (prorated to the extent provided in Section 3.10, if applicable) (herein called “Tenant’s Tax Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Tax Proportionate Share of the Taxes for such Tax Year. Tenant’s Tax Payment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in twelve (12)

equal monthly installments (subject to the further provisions of this Section 3.3), the first of which shall be due within ten (10) days after receipt of a Landlord’s Tax Statement, regardless of whether such Landlord’s Tax Statement is received prior to, on or after the first day of such Tax Year and the remaining installments shall be due on the first day of each month thereafter. Landlord shall xxxx (herein called “Landlord’s Tax Statement”) Tenant for any Tenant’s Tax Payment installment(s) payable by Tenant pursuant to this Article, such xxxx to set forth in reasonable detail the computation of the Tax Payment and the particular installment(s) thereof being billed. In the event of any increase in the Taxes for any Tax Year, whether during or after such Tax Year, or any decrease in the Taxes during such Tax Year, the Tax Payment for such Tax Year shall be appropriately adjusted and paid or refunded, as the case may be, in accordance therewith. If, during the Term, Taxes are required to be paid (either to the appropriate taxing authorities or as tax escrow payments to the Lessor or the Mortgagee), in full or in quarterly or other installments on any other date or dates than as presently required, then Tenant’s Tax Payments shall be correspondingly accelerated or revised so that installments of Tenant’s Tax Payment are due at least thirty (30) days prior to the date payments are due to the taxing authorities, the Lessor or the Mortgagee.
Section 3.4 Only Landlord shall be eligible to institute tax reduction or other proceedings to reduce Taxes. If Landlord shall receive a refund of the Taxes for any Tax Year, Landlord shall either pay to Tenant, or permit Tenant to credit against subsequent payments under this Lease, (a) Tenant’s Tax Proportionate Share of the net refund (after deducting from such total refund the costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, appraisal, accounting and legal fees of obtaining the same, to the extent that such costs and expenses were not included in the Taxes for such Tax Year), or (b) the amount of any Tax rebate directly attributable to the Tenant Improvements capitalized by Tenant exclusive of the TI Allowance and separately itemized on such tax invoice; provided, however, such payment or credit to Tenant shall in no event exceed Tenant’s Tax Payment paid for such Tax Year. Any refund of Taxes payable to Tenant under this Section shall include interest, but only if and to the extent Landlord receives interest on such Tax refund from the taxing authority.
Section 3.5 Omitted.
Section 3.6 At any time and from time to time Landlord may, in its sole discretion, calculate Taxes based on the separate tax lot upon which a Building is then located or such multiple tax lots designed by Landlord in its sole discretion, provided a Building is then located on one or more of such multiple tax lots, and in which case the term “Tenant’s Tax Proportionate Share” shall mean the percentage that represents a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet of rentable area in the Premises (excluding the 777 Premises), and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of square feet of rentable area of all buildings then on such tax lot or lots included in such calculation. Landlord intends to and shall have the right at any time to cause part or parts of the Land to become a separate tax lot or separate tax lots in connection with future development thereof, in which event, commencing on the date on which Taxes on such separate tax lot or lots are paid by a third party, Taxes shall no longer include the real estate taxes, assessments and special assessments imposed on such separate tax lot or lots.
Section 3.7 If any building is enlarged, demolished or removed from the Land or any new building is erected on the Land, the term “Tenant’s Tax Proportionate Share” shall mean the percentage that represents a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet of rentable area in the Premises (excluding the 777 Premises), and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of square feet of rentable area of all buildings then on the Land.

Section 3.8 Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent any occupancy tax or rent tax now in effect or hereafter enacted, if payable by Landlord in the first instance or hereafter required to be paid by Landlord.
Section 3.9 Landlord’s failure to render any Landlord’s Statement with respect to any Tax Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a Landlord’s Statement with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent Tax Year, nor shall the rendering of a Landlord’s Statement prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a corrected Landlord’s Statement for that Tax Year. Nothing herein contained shall restrict Landlord from issuing a Landlord’s Statement at any time there is an increase in Taxes during any Tax Year or any time thereafter. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the provisions of this Article 3 with respect to any Tenant’s Tax Payment shall survive the Expiration Date.
Section 3.10 If the Commencement Date shall occur other than on the first day of a Tax Year or a Tax Year ends after the expiration or termination of this Lease, any Additional Rent in respect thereof payable under this Article shall be equitably prorated to correspond to that portion of the Tax Year occurring within the Term.

ARTICLE 4
TENANT’S OPERATING PAYMENT
Section 4.1 For the purposes of this Article 4 and other provisions of this Lease:
(A) The term “Operating Expenses” shall mean all expenses paid or incurred by Landlord or on Landlord’s behalf in respect of the repair, maintenance and operation of the Core Campus, the Existing Campus and buildings comprising other Cost Pools as determined by the Landlord (and subject to Section 4.9 below), including, without limitation, all expenses paid or incurred as a result of Landlord complying with its obligations under this Lease. Operating Expenses shall include, without limitation, (i) salaries, wages, medical, surgical, union and general welfare benefits (including, without limitation, group life insurance and pension and welfare payments and contributions and all other fringe benefits paid to, for or with respect to all persons (whether employees of Landlord or its managing agent) engaged in the repair, operation and maintenance of the Core Campus (excluding employees to the extent their time is not spent on the operation of the Core Campus); (ii) payroll taxes, workers’ compensation, uniforms, dry cleaning, and related expenses for such persons; (iii) the cost of all charges for gas, steam, electricity, heat, ventilation, air-conditioning, water and other utilities furnished to the buildings within the Core Campus (including, without limitation, the common areas thereof) together with any taxes on such utilities (excluding however, the cost of electricity, heat, ventilating and air-conditioning described in clauses (9) and (10) of this definition); (iv) the cost of painting the common areas of the Project; (v) charges for telephone service for the management of the Core

Campus; (vi) financial expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Core Campus, such as insurance premiums (including, without limitation, liability insurance, fire and casualty insurance, rent insurance and any other insurance), reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (exclusive of any such fees and disbursements incurred in applying for any reduction of Taxes or in connection with the leasing of space in the Core Campus or the enforcement of leases or in any way related to obtaining financing for the Project), auditing, accounting and other professional fees and expenses, association dues and any other ordinary and customary financial expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Core Campus; (vii) the cost of purchases and rentals of all supplies (including, without limitation, building and cleaning supplies), tools (including, without limitation, hand tools), materials and equipment (both movable and immovable), and replacements for tools and equipment used in the operation, maintenance, and repair of the Core Campus and sales and other taxes thereon; (viii) charges of independent contractors (including, without limitation, for window and other cleaning and janitorial and security services); (ix) the cost of repairs and replacements made by Landlord; (x) the cost of alterations and improvements to the Core Campus made by reason of Requirements not in effect on the date hereof; (xi) payments under service contracts (including, without limitation, for window and other cleaning and janitorial and security services); (xii) management fees but not to exceed four percent (4%) of the aggregate rents, additional rents, and other charges payable to Landlord by tenants of the Core Campus; provided that if Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord is the managing agent, then a sum equal to four percent (4%) of the aggregate rents, additional rents and other charges payable to Landlord by tenants in the Core Campus; (xiii) the reasonable costs of operating an on-site management office, including, without limitation, the fair market rental value thereof; and (xiv) all other charges properly allocable to the repair, operation and maintenance of the Core Campus in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; excluding, however, (1) depreciation, (2) interest on and amortization of debts, (3) ground rent, (4) leasehold improvements made for existing or future tenants of the Core Campus, (5) brokerage commissions, (6) refinancing costs, (7) costs and expenses in connection with the expansion of buildings or the construction of new buildings, (8) Taxes, and (9) the cost of Basic Electric and HVAC Electric (as such terms are defined in Section 30.1) furnished to the Premises or to other tenants of the Core Campus and (10) the cost of producing and furnishing steam and chilled water to provide heat, ventilating and air-conditioning furnished to the Premises or to other tenants of the Core Campus (11) costs paid or reimbursed directly by Tenant or another tenant in the Project (as distinguished from costs that are passed along to other tenants by virtue of provisions in their leases, analogous to this Article 4, which require them to pay a proportionate share of operating costs or increases therein), (12) capital improvements that do not qualify under clause (x) above and are not either (a) of a type which will reduce Operating Expenses or (b) reasonably required to maintain the condition of the Project in substantially the condition that it is as of the date hereof. If the capital expenditure is of a type which will reduce Operating Expenses, and does not qualify under the foregoing clause 12(b), then the amount of such expenditure will not exceed the amount of Operating Expense savings achieved, and (13) costs and expenses incurred in connection with the demolition and removal of any buildings on the Land. The cost of any capital improvement (excluding any new buildings or expansions of buildings) or machinery or equipment shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Operating Year in which such improvement was made or machinery or equipment was purchased, provided that to the extent the cost of such capital improvement or machinery or equipment is required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes, such cost shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life thereof utilized
15
Table of Contents
for federal income tax purposes, and the annual amortization of such capital improvement or machinery or equipment, together with interest on the unamortized balance of such cost at the Applicable Rate, shall be included in Operating Expenses. Any cost or expense shall be included in Operating Expenses for any Operating Year no more than once, notwithstanding that such cost or expense may fall under more than one of the categories listed above. Landlord may use related or affiliated entities to provide services or furnish materials for the Core Campus provided that the rates or fees charged by such entities are competitive with those charged by unrelated or unaffiliated entities for the same services or materials, unless a fee or rate is specified in this Lease, in which event such fee or rate shall prevail. If during any Operating Year the tenant or occupant of any space in the Core Campus undertook to perform work or services therein in lieu of having Landlord perform the same and the cost thereof would have been included in Operating Expenses if done by Landlord, then, in any such event(s), the Operating Expenses for such Operating Year shall include the amount that would have been incurred if Landlord had performed such work or services, as the case may be, to the extent necessary only to allow Landlord to collect in full Landlord’s actual cost for performing such work or service for the remaining tenants of the Project. If less than all of the rentable area of the Core Campus is occupied by tenants at any time during any Operating Year, the Operating Expenses for such Operating Year shall be deemed to be the amount that Operating Expenses would have been had all of such rentable area been one hundred percent (100%) occupied throughout such Operating Year. The provisions of the prior sentence with respect to adjustments of Operating Expenses for vacancy, shall apply only to Operating Expenses which are variable and which increase in the same relationship to the increase in occupancy in the Buildings and shall not apply to any Operating Expenses which do not vary with the level of occupancy in the Buildings. Operating Expenses shall be calculated on the accrual basis of accounting. With respect to any expenses paid or incurred by Landlord for the repair, maintenance and operation of the Core Campus and other buildings on the Land not comprising the Core Campus, Landlord shall equitably allocate, using good accounting principles, said expenses between the Core Campus and such other buildings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Expenses shall not include (i) expenditures for which Landlord is reimbursed from any insurance carrier, Tenant (except pursuant to Tenant’s obligation to pay its Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses) or other source or (ii) franchise taxes and income taxes.
(B) The term “Landlord’s Operating Statement” shall mean a written statement prepared by Landlord or its agent, setting forth Landlord’s computation of the sum payable by Tenant under this Article for a specified Operating Year.
Section 4.2 For each Operating Year, any part of which occurs during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount (prorated to the extent provided in Section 4.6, if applicable) (herein called “Tenant’s Operating Payment”) equal to Tenant’s Operating Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses for such Operating Year. Said payments shall be made as provided in Section 4.3.
Section 4.3 Landlord may furnish to Tenant, prior to the commencement of each Operating Year (or, in the case of the Operating Year in which the Term commences, prior to the Commencement Date), a written statement setting forth Landlord’s estimate of the Operating Payment for such Operating Year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month during such Operating Year (or the portion thereof subsequent to the Commencement Date, as the case may be) an amount equal to one-twelfth of Landlord’s estimate of the Operating
16
Table of Contents
Payment for such Operating Year. If, however, Landlord shall furnish any such estimate for an Operating Year subsequent to the commencement thereof, then (a) until the first day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount equal to the monthly sum payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Section in respect of the last month of the preceding Operating Year; (b) after such estimate is furnished to Tenant or included in or together with such estimate, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant stating whether the installments of the Operating Payment previously made for such Operating Year were greater or less than the installments of the Operating Payment to be made for such Operating Year in accordance with such estimate, and (i) if there shall be a deficiency, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount thereof within ten (10) days after demand therefor, or (ii) if there shall have been an overpayment, Landlord shall promptly either refund to Tenant the amount thereof or permit Tenant to credit the amount thereof against subsequent payments under this Article or Article 4; and (c) on the first day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, and monthly thereafter throughout the remainder of such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Operating Payment shown on such estimate. Landlord may, at any time or from time to time during each Operating Year, furnish to Tenant a revised statement of Landlord’s estimate of the Operating Payment for such Operating Year; and in such case, the Operating Payment for such Operating Year shall be adjusted and paid or refunded, as the case may be, substantially in the same manner as provided in the preceding sentence.
Section 4.4 Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Operating Year Landlord shall furnish to Tenant Landlord’s Operating Statement for such Operating Year. If Landlord’s Operating Statement shows that the sums paid by Tenant under Section 4.3 exceeded the Operating Payment to be paid by Tenant for such Operating Year, Landlord shall promptly either refund to Tenant the amount of such excess or permit Tenant to credit the amount of such excess against subsequent payments under this Article or Article 3; and if Landlord’s Operating Statement for such Operating Year shows that the sums so paid by Tenant were less than the Operating Payment to be paid by Tenant for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency within ten (10) day’s after demand therefor.
Section 4.5 Tenant, upon notice given within ninety (90) days after any Landlord’s Operating Statement is sent to Tenant, may elect to have an Approved Examiner examine such of Landlord’s books and records as are directly relevant to the Landlord’s Operating Statement in question. Such Approved Examiner shall complete its examination of such books and records within a reasonable period of time after Tenant’s notice of examination is given to Landlord (but in no event longer than ninety (90) days). An “Approved Examiner” shall mean an independent certified public accountant or accountants (who may be an employee of Tenant) which is not being compensated by Tenant, in whole or in part, on a contingency basis provided that such Approved Examiner is not and has not during the Term been affiliated with, a shareholder in, an officer, director, partner, or employee of, any Manager during the Term or the Manager named in this Lease. Tenant recognizes the confidential nature of Landlord’s books and records and agrees that information obtained by it or an Approved Examiner during any examination (including any compromise, settlement or adjustment relating to the results of such examination) shall be maintained in strict confidence by Tenant and such Approved Examiner. As a condition precedent to Tenant’s exercise of its right to examine Landlord’s books and records, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, from the Approved Examiner to the same effect as Tenant’s agreement contained in the preceding
17
Table of Contents
sentence. If, after such examination, such Approved Examiner shall dispute such Landlord’s Operating Statement, either party may refer the decision of the issues raised to a reputable independent firm of certified public accountants which has not performed services valued at Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) or more for either party hereunder in the most recent three year period, selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the decision of such accountants shall be conclusively binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses involved in resolving such dispute shall be borne by the unsuccessful party (and if both parties are partially unsuccessful, the accountants shall apportion the fees and expenses between the parties based upon the degree of success of each party). If Tenant shall not give such notice within such ninety (90)-day period, then the Operating Statement as furnished by Landlord shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant. Tenant, pending the resolution of any contest shall continue to pay all sums as determined to be due in the first instance by Landlord’s Operating Statement and upon the resolution of such contest, suitable adjustment shall be made in accordance therewith with appropriate refund to be made by Landlord to Tenant (or credit allowed Tenant against the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent becoming due). If it is determined that Landlord, during an Operating Year, overcharged Tenant for Operating Expenses by an amount that exceeds four percent (4%) of Tenant’s total Operating Payment for such Operating Year, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable cost incurred by Tenant in performing the audit of Landlord’s books and records.
Section 4.6 If the Commencement Date shall occur other than on the first day of an Operating Year or an Operating Year ends after the expiration or termination of this Lease, any Additional Rent in respect thereof payable under this Article shall be equitably prorated to correspond to that portion of the Operating Year occurring within the Term.
Section 4.7 If any building comprising the Core Campus is enlarged, demolished or removed from the Core Campus, or any building or the Land is added to the Core Campus (which Landlord may do in its sole and absolute discretion), the term “Tenant’s Operating Proportionate Share” shall be adjusted to mean the percentage that represents a fraction the numerator of which is the number of square feet of rentable area in the Premises (excluding the 777 Premises) and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of square feet of rentable area of all buildings then comprising the Core Campus.
Section 4.8 Landlord’s failure to render any Landlord’s Statement with respect to any Operating Year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a Landlord’s Statement with respect thereto or with respect to any subsequent Operating Year, nor shall the rendering of a Landlord’s Statement prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a corrected Landlord’s Statement for that Operating Year. Nothing herein contained shall restrict Landlord from issuing a Landlord’s Statement at any time there is an increase in Operating Expenses during any Operating Year or any time thereafter. All rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under the provisions of this Article 4 shall survive the Expiration Date.
Section 4.9 Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, upon prior notice to Tenant, to equitably allocate some or all of the Operating Expenses between the Buildings and/or different buildings of the Core Campus and/or among different tenants, regardless of use, of the Core Campus (the “Cost Pools”). Landlord shall have the right to add, enlarge, demolish or remove any portion of the Core Campus or Existing Campus, any building, or the Land (which Landlord may do in its sole and absolute discretion). Tenant’s Operating Proportionate Share for
18
Table of Contents
the applicable Cost Pool shall initially be a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of square feet of rentable area in the Premises (excluding the 777 Premises) and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of square feet of rentable area of all buildings then comprising the applicable Cost Pool; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the right to proportionally adjust Tenant’s Operating Proportionate Share based on Tenant’s usage, as reasonably determined by Landlord.
Section 4.10 The parties acknowledge that the rentable area of the 777 Premises shall not be included in the calculation of Tenant’s Operating Proportional Share; however, Tenant shall pay, as part of Tenant’s Operating Payment, the cost of all electrical power (including, without limitation, Basic Electric and to the extent HVAC equipment serves the 777 Premises, HVAC Electric) provided to the Premises (the “777 Electrical Payment”). Landlord shall install a submeter for the 777 Premises at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation to purchase, install and monitor submetering equipment for the Premises and remainder of the Core Campus, the cost of which shall be an Operating Expense (except for any electrical submeter installed for the 777 Premises, which shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense).
ARTICLE 5
USE AND OCCUPANCY
Section 5.1 Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s use of the Premises will include the use of one (I) or more bio-reactors to the extent permitted by the Requirements.

Furthermore,
19
Table of Contents
the Premises shall not be used for any purpose that would, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, tend to lower the first-class character of a Building, create unreasonable or excessive elevator or floor loads, violate the certificate of occupancy of a Building, impair or interfere with any of the Buildings’ operations or the proper and economic heating, air-conditioning, cleaning or any other services of a Building, interfere with the use of the other areas of a Building by any other tenants, or impair the appearance of a Building. Notwithstanding clause (16) of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant may use the Premises to produce, test or use those toxic chemicals which are essential or incidental to the Tenant’s normal business operations, consistent with, and customary for, the operation of a non-military, commercial laboratory operated by Tenant and expressly permitted under all applicable Requirements and, if required by any Requirements, a current and valid permit or certificate issued by the Government Authority. If the Premises is used as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall do the following to reduce the safety hazards associated with toxic chemicals: (a) use the highest standard of care in all activities involving toxic chemicals; (b) arrange the Premises in a manner to allow for adequate space and orderly placement of all toxic chemicals and equipment used in connection with toxic chemicals; (c) separate or create a defined area within the Premises for the use, storage, production and/or testing of toxic chemicals; and (d) equip the Premises with the following items if necessary or prudent: (i) supplemental lighting and ventilation, (ii) air-supply and exhaust filters, (iii) a system for monitoring environmental conditions, and (iv) any other items that are necessary, prudent or required by any applicable Requirements.

ARTICLE 6
ALTERATIONS
Section 6.1 (A) Subject to obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Tenant may, from time to time, make any Alterations provided that: (i) the outside appearance of a Building shall not be affected; (ii) the strength of a Building shall not be affected; (iii) the structural parts of a Building shall not be adversely affected; (iv) no part of a Building outside of the Premises shall be affected; and (v) the proper functioning of the Building Systems shall not be adversely affected and the use of such systems by Tenant shall not be increased beyond Tenant’s allocable portion of the reserve
capacity thereof, if any. If consent to any Alterations is not given, Landlord shall notify Tenant in sufficient detail to enable Tenant to amend its plans and specifications regarding such Alterations to comply with Landlord’s objections. Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, but after written notice to Landlord, perform decorative Alterations such as painting and carpeting.
(B) (1) Prior to making any Alterations, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, (i) submit to Landlord one set of mylar sepias and two sets of blue lines of final, stamped and detailed plans and specifications (including layout, architectural, electrical, mechanical and structural drawings) that comply with all Requirements for each proposed Alteration, and Tenant shall not commence any such
20
Table of Contents
Alteration without first obtaining Landlord’s approval of such plans and specifications which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) obtain all permits, approvals and certificates required by any Government Authorities, and (iii) furnish to Landlord duplicate original policies of worker’s compensation insurance (covering all persons to be employed by Tenant, and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors, in connection with such Alteration) and commercial general liability insurance (including premises operation, bodily injury, personal injury, death, independent contractors, products and completed operations, broad form contractual liability and broad form property damage coverages) in such form, with such companies, for such periods and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably approve, naming Landlord and its agents, any Lessor and any Mortgagee, as additional insureds. If Landlord previously has provided Tenant or its architect with base building plans on a CADD disk, Tenant shall also submit Tenant’s plans and any changes thereto by disk. Upon completion of such Alteration, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall obtain certificates of final approval of such Alterations required by any Government Authority and shall furnish Landlord with copies thereof, together with the “as-built” plans and specifications for such Alterations. All Alterations shall be made and performed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor as approved by Landlord, all Requirements, the Tenant Criteria Manual for the Buildings and the Rules and Regulations. All materials and equipment to be incorporated in the Premises as a result of any Alterations shall be first quality and no such materials or equipment shall be subject to any lien, encumbrance, chattel mortgage, title retention or security agreement, provided that Tenant may finance its trade fixtures (and grant a security interest thereon to secure such financing) with an Institutional Lender if such financing is required by such lender to be paid in full during the Term. An “Institutional Lender” shall mean a savings bank, a savings and loan association, a commercial bank, a finance company (such as CIT or GECC), a trust company, which is organized under the laws of the United States or Canada and subject to the supervision of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board or a state banking superintendent or commissioners, an insurance company, an investment bank, a real estate mortgage investment conduit, a trustee in securitization, or any assignee of any thereof (which assignee must also be an Institutional Lender) organized and existing under the laws of the United States or Canada, a real estate investment trust sponsored by an Institutional Lender (which is not another real estate investment trust), or a union, federal, state, municipal or secular employee’s welfare, benefit, pension or retirement fund. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, at the request of Landlord, which may be made at any time and from time to time, evidence of the outstanding amount of, and terms of, such financing and the identity of the lender thereof. In addition, no such Alteration (except for the Tenant Improvements) for which the cost of labor and materials (as estimated by Landlord’s architect, engineer or contractor) is in excess of One Million ($1,000,000) Dollars (excluding decorative items and Tenant’s trade fixtures), shall be undertaken prior to Tenant’s delivering to Landlord such security for timely lien-free completion thereof as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and such Alteration shall be performed only under the supervision of a licensed architect satisfactory to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not require Tenant to deliver a completion bond or other security in connection with Tenant’s initial Alterations or Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection B(1)(i) of this Section 6.1, with respect to any Alterations for which the cost of labor and materials (as estimated by Landlord’s architect or contractor) is less than Two Hundred Thousand ($200,000) Dollars, either individually or in the aggregate with any other Alterations constructed in any six (6) month period, Tenant shall not be obligated to submit the detailed plans and specifications referred to in subsection (B)(1)(i) (unless required by any Requirements), but in lieu of such detailed plans and specifications, Tenant shall submit to Landlord five (5) sets of
21
Table of Contents
documentation sufficient adequately to inform Landlord and its architect and engineer of the Alterations proposed to be made by Tenant.
(2) Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any plans and specifications in part, to reserve approval of items shown thereon pending its review and approval of other plans and specifications, and to condition its approval upon Tenant making revisions to the plans and specifications or supplying additional information. Tenant agrees that any review or approval by Landlord of any plans and/or specifications with respect to any Alteration is solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any representation, warranty or liability whatsoever to Tenant or any other Person with respect to the adequacy, correctness or sufficiency or with respect to Requirement or otherwise. Landlord agrees to grant its approval or disapproval of any plans, or revisions to plans, within ten (10) days of the date such plans are delivered to Landlord in the form required by this Lease.
(C) Except as otherwise provided herein, Tenant shall be permitted to perform Alterations during Operating Hours, provided that such work does not materially interfere with or interrupt the operation and maintenance of the Buildings (as determined by Landlord) or unreasonably interfere with or interrupt the use and occupancy of the Buildings by any other tenants in the Buildings. Otherwise, Alterations shall be performed at such times and in such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably designate. All Alterations (including wiring and cabling from the raceways and conduits located in the Premises) shall become a part of the Building and shall be Landlord’s property from and after the installation thereof and may not be removed or changed without Landlord’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing if, on or before the date Landlord approves Tenant’s plans and specifications (or other documentation) for Alterations (including wiring and cabling), Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord is reserving the right to require Tenant to remove the same or any portion thereof, then Landlord prior to the Expiration Date, may require Tenant to remove all of such Alterations (including wiring and cabling) or any specified portion thereof and to repair and restore in a good and workmanlike manner to Building standard condition (reasonable wear and tear excepted) any damage to the Premises or a Building caused by such removal. All Tenant’s Property shall remain the property of Tenant and, on or before the Expiration Date, may be removed from the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s option; provided, however, that Tenant shall repair and restore in a good and workmanlike manner any damage to the Premises or a Building caused by such removal. The provisions of this Section 6.1(C) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
(D) All Alterations shall be performed, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, by contractors, subcontractors or mechanics approved by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior to Tenant making any Alterations, Landlord or Manager, at Tenant’s request, shall furnish Tenant with a list of contractors, subcontractors and mechanics who may perform Alterations in or to the Premises on behalf of Tenant. If Tenant shall enter, within six (6) months after Landlord shall furnish Tenant with such list, into a contract with any contractor set forth on the list, Tenant shall not be required to obtain Landlord’s consent to such contractor unless, prior to entering into a contract with such contractor or the commencement of work by the contractor, Landlord notifies Tenant that such contractor has been removed from the list.
(E) (1) Any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or the Real Property for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to,
22
Table of Contents
Tenant shall be cancelled or discharged by Tenant, by payment or filing of the bond required by law, within twenty-five (25) days after such lien shall be filed, and Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, claims, losses or damages resulting therefrom by reason thereof.
(2) If Tenant shall fail to discharge such mechanic’s lien within the aforesaid period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit in court or bonding, and in any such event, Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such mechanic’s lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment, if any, in favor of the lienor, with interest, costs and allowances.
(3) Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid charges and for all expenses of Landlord (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in defending any such action, discharging said lien or in procuring the discharge of said lien, with interest on all such amounts at the maximum legal rate of interest then chargeable to Tenant from the date of payment, shall be repaid by Tenant within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, and all amounts so repayable, together with such interest, shall be considered Additional Rent.
Section 6.2 Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within five (5) Business Days after demand therefor, for any out-of-pocket expense incurred by Landlord for reviewing the plans and specifications for any Alterations or inspecting the progress of completion of the same.
Section 6.3 Tenant shall furnish to Landlord copies of records of all Alterations and of the cost thereof within fifteen (15) days after request by Landlord after the completion of such Alterations.
Section 6.4 Tenant shall not, at any time prior to or during the Term, directly or indirectly employ, or permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic or laborer in the Premises, whether in connection with any Alteration or otherwise, if such employment would interfere or cause any conflict with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance or operation of a Building or the Project by Landlord, Tenant or others, or of any other property owned by Landlord. In the event of any such interference or conflict, Tenant, upon demand of Landlord, shall use best efforts to cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Buildings immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to use union or non-union contractors to the extent permitted by the Requirements.

them in good working order and condition, except for (a) reasonable wear and tear, (b) obsolescence and (c) damage for which Tenant is not responsible pursuant to the provisions of Article 13. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.1, Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any Building Systems. The design and decoration of the elevator areas of each floor of the Premises and the public corridors of any floor of the Premises occupied by more than one (1) occupant shall be under the sole control of Landlord. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Lease to the contrary, all damage or injury to the Premises, and all damage or injury to any other part of a Building, or to its fixtures, equipment and appurtenances (including Building Systems), whether requiring structural or non-structural repairs, caused by the moving of Tenant’s Property or caused by or resulting from any act or omission of, or Alterations made by, Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, shall be repaired by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord (if the required repairs are non-structural in nature and do not affect any Building Systems), or by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (if the required repairs are structural in nature or affect any Building Systems). All of the aforesaid repairs shall be performed in a manner and with materials and design of first class and quality consistent with first-class office buildings in Westchester County and shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Article 6. If Tenant shall fail, after ten (10) days notice (or such shorter period as may be required because of an emergency), to proceed with due diligence to make repairs required to be made by Tenant, the same may be made by Landlord, at the expense of Tenant, and the expenses thereof incurred by Landlord, with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate, shall be paid to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after rendition of a xxxx or statement therefor. Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of any defective condition in any Building Systems located in, servicing or passing through the Premises upon Tenant becoming aware of same.

If Tenant is moving or locating any safe, machinery, equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixture which requires special handling (as determined by Landlord), Tenant shall employ only persons holding a Master Rigger’s license to do said work. All work in connection therewith shall comply with the Requirements, and shall be done during such hours as Landlord may reasonably designate. Business machines and mechanical equipment shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, in settings sufficient, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance.
Section 7.3 Landlord shall (subject to Tenant’s reimbursement obligation pursuant to Article 4) operate, maintain and make all necessary repairs (both structural and non-structural) to the Building Systems and the public portions of the Buildings, both exterior and interior, in conformance with standards applicable to first-class office buildings in Westchester County, except for those repairs for which Tenant is responsible pursuant to any other provision of this Lease. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant’s business involves manufacturing processes that are required to run uninterrupted for extended periods beyond customary business hours and that Tenant will incur substantial additional cost and expense if such manufacturing “runs” are interrupted. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises in making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements and shall, except in the case of an emergency, attempt to coordinate with Tenant in making any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements so as to attempt to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no

obligation to employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other premium pay rates or to incur any other overtime costs in connection with such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant shall so request, Landlord shall employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other premium pay rates or incur other overtime costs in making such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, provided Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, an amount equal to the excess costs incurred by Landlord by reason of compliance with Tenant’s request. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, there shall be no allowance to Tenant for a diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Landlord by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Landlord, Tenant or others making, or failing to make, any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in or to any portion of a Building or the Premises, or its fixtures, appurtenances or equipment.

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Tenant shall not be obligated to perform any Alterations necessary to comply with any Requirements, unless compliance shall be required by reason of (i) any cause or condition arising out of any Alterations or installations in the Premises (whether made by Tenant or by Landlord on behalf of Tenant), or (ii) Tenant’s particular use, manner of use or occupancy on behalf of Tenant of the Premises (as opposed to mere laboratory and office use), or (iii) any breach of any of Tenant’s covenants or agreements under this Lease, or (iv) any wrongful act or omission by Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, or (v) Tenant’s use or manner of use or occupancy of the

Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless all Indemnitees from and against any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising by reason of any clean up, removal, remediation, detoxification action, diminution in value of the Premises, damages for the loss or amenity of the Premises or any other activity required or recommended of any Indemnitees by any Government Authority by reason of the presence in or about the Buildings or the Premises of any Hazardous Materials, as a result of or in connection with the act or omission of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control or the breach of this Lease by Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control. Without limiting the foregoing, if any Hazardous Materials attributable to Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, or the activities of any of them, are being used, stored, generated, or tested under or about the Premises in a manner that violates any Requirement, Tenant shall promptly take all actions, at its sole cost and expense, necessary to comply with all Requirements; provided that, except in emergency situations (in which case Notice shall be given to Landlord as soon as practicable), Landlord’s approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Tenant shall, upon becoming aware of same, give prompt written notice to Landlord of (i) any condition in or near the Premises that shall pose a threat to the health, safety or welfare of humans, (ii) any proceeding or inquiry by any xxxxx (including any Government Authority) with

Section 9.4 If any governmental license or permit shall be required for the proper and lawful conduct of Tenant’s business and if the failure to secure such license or permit would, in any way, adversely affect Landlord, the Buildings or the Project, then Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall promptly procure and thereafter maintain, submit for inspection by Landlord, and at all times comply with the terms and conditions of, each such license or permit.
Section 9.5 Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and after notice to Landlord, may contest, by appropriate proceedings prosecuted diligently and in good faith, the legality or applicability of any Requirement affecting the Premises provided that: (a) neither Landlord nor any Indemnitees shall be subject to criminal penalties, nor shall the Real Property or any part thereof be subject to being condemned or vacated, nor shall the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or the Buildings be suspended or threatened to be suspended, by reason of non-compliance or by reason of such contest; (b) before the commencement of such contest, if Landlord or any Indemnitees may be subject to any civil fines or penalties or if Landlord may be liable to any independent third party as a result of such non-compliance, then Tenant shall furnish to Landlord either (i) a bond of a surety company satisfactory to Landlord, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and in an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the sum of (A) the cost of such compliance, (B) the penalties or fines that may accrue by reason of such non-compliance (as reasonably estimated by Landlord) and (C) the amount of such liability to independent third parties, and shall indemnify Landlord (and any Indemnitees) against the cost of such compliance and liability resulting from or incurred in connection with such contest or non-compliance; or (ii) other security reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Landlord; (c) such non-compliance or contest shall not constitute or result in a violation (either with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) of the terms of any Mortgage or Superior Lease, or if such Superior Lease or Mortgage conditions such non-compliance or contest upon the taking of action or furnishing of security by Landlord, such action shall be taken or such security shall be furnished at the expense of Tenant; and (d) Tenant shall keep Landlord regularly advised as to the status of such proceedings.
Section 9.6 (A) Landlord may, at its option and at Landlord’s expense, cause to be performed on or before the Commencement Date and provide to Tenant a phase I environmental assessment of the Premises, together with such additional reports and testing (including a phase II environmental assessment), if necessary in Landlord’s sole discretion from an environmental consultant selected by Landlord (the “Initial Environmental Audit”).

27

termination of this Lease, Landlord may obtain a phase I environmental assessment of the Premises, together with such additional reports and testing (including a phase II environmental assessment) if necessary in Landlord’s sole discretion using the consultant who initially prepared the Initial Environmental Audit, or if that consultant is unavailable or, if an Initial Environmental Audit had not been conducted, another licensed environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Landlord, to determine the environmental status of the Premises as of the date of that environmental update (the “Environmental Update”). The cost of the foregoing environmental assessment shall be divided evenly between the Landlord and Tenant, except if any Hazardous Material remediation work is required as a result of Tenant’s acts or omissions, Tenant shall bear the entire cost of such environmental assessment and shall be entitled to receive a copy of all such assessment reports. Tenant shall pay to Landlord any amounts payable hereunder within fifteen (15) days after being billed therefor.
(C) Tenant’s obligations under Section 9.2 of this Lease shall also apply to any Hazardous Materials which are revealed by the Environmental Update (or any inspection by Landlord prior to Tenant’s delivery of the Premises to Landlord), but which were not revealed by the Initial Environmental Audit. This Section 9.6 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
Section 9.7 (A) At any time prior to the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease or to any assignment of this Lease or any subletting of any portion of the Premises, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may inspect or cause the inspection of the Premises for the purpose of determining whether or not Tenant is in compliance with this Article 9 and whether or not to conduct more detailed inspection, sampling and testing of the Premises to determine whether all Hazardous Materials are being used, stored, generated or tested in accordance with all Requirements.
(B) If as a result of any inspection, sampling or testing, it is determined that there exists upon the Premises Hazardous Materials other than in compliance with this Lease and all Requirements, then, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately comply with the fifth sentence in Section 9.2 and all other Articles of this Lease as applicable and appropriate.
(C) Tenant shall fully cooperate with Landlord in connection with any rules and regulations of Landlord regarding Tenant’s use, production or storage of Hazardous Materials upon the Premises including, but not limited to, promptly completing and returning to Landlord any questionnaires regarding Hazardous Materials.
(D) All of Landlord’s costs in reviewing the inspection and sampling plan and test results and developing a plan for and monitoring the cleanup and site detoxification, shall be paid by Tenant, as Additional Rent, within twenty (20) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.
Section 9.8 Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, to Landlord’s actual knowledge, there is no asbestos in the Premises or the public areas of the Buildings, except for the possible presence of asbestos in certain pipes, which is either encapsulated or is not in friable condition. If it is hereafter determined that asbestos which is present in the Premises on the Commencement Date is friable and not disturbed by Alterations to be made by Tenant in accordance herewith, then, provided Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond applicable notice and grace and the need for removal or encapsulation of such asbestos does not arise as a result of
28
Table of Contents
the negligent or wrongful acts or omissions of Tenant or its agent, subtenant, employee, contractor or invitee, Landlord shall promptly at its expense, remove or (provided Tenant’s permitted Alternations will not be materially adversely affected thereby) encapsulate such asbestos in accordance with applicable Requirements. Landlord shall perform such work in a manner as to have the least practicable interference with Tenant’s use and operations in the Premises, recognizing Tenant’s sensitive laboratory work.
ARTICLE 10
SUBORDINATION
Section 10.1 Subject to the provisions in Section 10.5 below, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to each Superior Lease and to each Mortgage, whether made prior to or after the execution of this Lease, and to all renewals, extensions, supplements, amendments, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof or thereto, substitutions therefor, and advances made thereunder. This clause shall be self-operative and no further agreement of subordination shall be required to make the interest of any Lessor or Mortgagee superior to the interest of Tenant hereunder. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver, at its own cost and expense, any document, in recordable form if requested, that Landlord, any Lessor or any Mortgagee may request to evidence such subordination; and if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge or deliver any such document within ten (10) days after request thereof, Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such document for and on behalf of Tenant. Tenant shall not knowingly do anything that would constitute a default under any Superior Lease or Mortgage, or omit to do anything that Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease so as to cause Landlord to be in default thereunder. If, in connection with the financing of the Real Property, the Buildings or the interest of the lessee under any Superior Lease, or if, in connection with the entering into of a Superior Lease, any lending institution or Lessor, as the case may be, requests reasonable modifications of this Lease that do not increase rent or change the Term of this Lease, or materially and adversely affect the rights or obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall make such modifications.
Section 10.2 If, at any time prior to the expiration of the Term, any Superior Lease shall terminate or shall be terminated for any reason, or any Mortgagee comes into possession of the Real Property or the Buildings or the estate created by any Superior Lease by receiver or otherwise, Tenant agrees, subject to the provisions in Section 10.5 below, at the election and upon demand of any owner of the Real Property or the Buildings, or of the Lessor, or of any Mortgagee in possession of the Real Property or the Buildings, to attorn, from time to time, to any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee or any person acquiring the interest of Landlord as a result of any such termination, or as a result of a foreclosure of the Mortgage or the granting of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, upon the then executory terms and conditions of this Lease (except as provided below), for the remainder of the Term, provided that such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, or receiver caused to be appointed by any of the foregoing, is then entitled to possession of the Premises. Provided that in the event of any conflict between the applicable Non-Disturbance Agreement (as hereinafter defined) and this Section 10.2, the applicable Non-Disturbance Agreement shall govern and control any such attornment shall be made upon the condition that no such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee shall be:
29
Table of Contents
(1) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including without limitation, the then defaulting landlord) although such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee shall be obligated to correct any conditions existing at the date of attornment which violate such party’s obligations as Landlord hereunder; or
(2) subject to any defense or offsets (except as expressly set forth in this Lease) which Tenant may have against any prior landlord (including without limitation, the then defaulting landlord); or
(3) bound by any payment of Rental which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord (including, without limitation, the then defaulting landlord), except for refunds or credits of Taxes or Operating Expenses due to Tenant; or
(4) bound by any amendment, modification, surrender or termination of this Lease made without Lessor’s or Mortgagee’s prior written consent.
The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall inure to the benefit of any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, shall apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the termination of any such Superior Lease, and shall be self-operative upon any such demand, and no further agreement shall be required to give effect to said provisions. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.5 below, Tenant, however, upon demand of any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, shall execute, from time to time, agreements in confirmation of the foregoing provision of this Section 10.2, satisfactory to any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee, and acknowledging such attornment and setting forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy. Nothing contained in this Section 10.2 shall be construed to impair any right otherwise exercisable by any such owner, Lessor or Mortgagee.
Section 10.3 At any time and from time to time upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant by Landlord or a Lessor or Mortgagee (which ten (10) day period is not subject to any notice and cure periods otherwise provided in this Lease), Tenant shall, without charge, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing addressed to such party as Landlord, Lessor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, may designate, in form satisfactory to Landlord, Lessor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, certifying all or any of the following: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications); (ii) whether the Term has commenced and Fixed Rent and Additional Rent have become payable hereunder and, if so, the dates to which they have been paid; (iii) whether or not, to the best knowledge of the signer of such certificate, Landlord is in default in performance of any of the terms of this Lease and, if so, specifying each such Event of Default of which the signer may have knowledge; (iv) whether Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises; (v) whether Tenant has made any claim against Landlord under this Lease and, if so, the nature thereof and the dollar amount, if any, of such claim; (vi) either that Tenant does not know of any default in the performance of any provision of this Lease or specifying the details of any default of which Tenant may have knowledge and stating what action Tenant is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto; (vii) that, to the knowledge of Tenant, there is no proceedings pending or threatened against Tenant before or by any court or administrative agency which, if adversely decided, would materially and adversely affect the financial condition or operations of Tenant or, if any such proceedings are
30

pending or threatened to the knowledge of Tenant, specifying and describing the same; and (viii) such further information with respect to this Lease or the Premises as Landlord may reasonably request or Lessor or Mortgagee may require; it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the Real Property or any part thereof or of the interest of Landlord in any part thereof, by any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee, by any Lessor or prospective Lessor, by any tenant or prospective tenant of the Real Property or any part thereof, or by any prospective assignee of any Mortgage.
The failure of Tenant to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.3 within said ten (10) day period shall constitute an acknowledgement by Tenant, which may be relied on by any person who would be entitled to rely upon any such statement, that such statement as submitted by Landlord is true and correct.
Section 10.4 As long as any Superior Lease or Mortgage exists, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of Landlord until Tenant has given written notice of such act or omission to all Lessors and Mortgagees at such addresses as may have been furnished to Tenant by such Lessors and Mortgagees and, if any such Lessor or Mortgagee, as the case may be, notifies Tenant within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice of its intention to remedy such act or omission using diligent and continuous efforts, until a reasonable period of time shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice, provided that during such period such Lessors and Mortgagees shall diligently and continuously pursue the remedy of such act or omission, which such Lessors and Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do.
Section 10.5 (A) As used in this Article 10, the term Non-Disturbance Agreement shall mean an agreement in recordable form that provides in substance that, so long as Tenant shall not then be in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease beyond any period provided for herein for the cure of such default, Tenant’s possession of the Premises in accordance with this Lease shall not be disturbed by such person giving the non-disturbance agreement or any successor or purchaser at a foreclosure sale (as the case may be) which shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease. Such agreement shall be in such form as is customarily used by the Mortgagee or Lessor if it is an institutional lender. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any and all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred or payable by Landlord in connection with obtaining each such non-disturbance agreement.
(B) With respect to any Mortgage, the provisions of Section 10.1 of this Lease shall only operate to subject and subordinate this Lease to the Mortgage if the holder of the Mortgage shall furnish a Non-Disturbance Agreement to Tenant.
(C) Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the Execution Date, Landlord is the owner of the Land and the Buildings in fee simple absolute and there are currently no Superior Leases or Mortgages in existence.

Tenant shall make said reimbursement on the first day of the month following such payment by Landlord and receipt of notice thereof.
Section 12.4 (A) At Tenant’s own cost and expense, Tenant shall obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect during the Term commercial general liability insurance (without deductible) in a form approved in New York State (including broad form property damage coverages). The limits of liability shall be not less than Five Million and 00/100 ($5,000,000.00) Dollars per occurrence, which amount may be satisfied with a primary commercial general liability policy of not less than $1,000,000.00 and an excess (or “Umbrella”) liability policy affording coverage, at least as broad as that afforded by the primary commercial general liability policy, in an amount not less than $4,000,000.00. Landlord, BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., BioMed Realty, L.P., the Manager, any Lessors and any Mortgagees shall be included as additional insureds in said policies and shall be protected against all liability arising in connection with this Lease. All said policies of insurance shall be written as “occurrence” policies. Whenever, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, good business practice and changing conditions indicate a need for additional amounts or different types of insurance coverage, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, obtain such insurance coverage, at Tenant’s expense.
(B) Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain all-risk insurance, with deductibles in an amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, protecting and indemnifying Tenant against any and all damage to or loss of any Alterations and leasehold improvements, including any made by Landlord to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy and Tenant’s Property. All said policies shall cover the full replacement value of all Alterations, leasehold improvements and Tenant’s Property.
(C) All policies of insurance shall be: (i) written as primary policy coverage and not contributing with or in excess of any coverage which Landlord or any Lessor may carry; and (ii) issued by reputable and independent insurance companies rated in Best’s Insurance Guide or any successor thereto (or, if there is none, an organization having a national reputation), as having a general policyholder rating of “A” and a financial rating of at least “10”, and which are licensed to do business in the State of New York or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall, not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Commencement Date, deliver to Landlord certificates the policies of insurance and shall thereafter furnish to Landlord, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policies and any renewal thereof, a certificate of the new policy in lieu thereof. Each of said policies shall also contain a provision whereby the insurer agrees not to cancel, fail to renew, diminish or materially modify said insurance policy(ies) without having given Landlord, the Manager and any Lessors and Mortgagees at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof. Tenant shall promptly send to Landlord a copy of all notices sent to Tenant by Tenant’s insurer. Upon request from Landlord, tenant shall deliver copies of the policies of insurance for which certificates were delivered to Landlord.

(D) Tenant shall pay all premiums and charges for all of said policies, and, if Tenant shall fail to make any payment when due or carry any such policy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or carry such policy, and the amount paid by Landlord, with interest thereon (at the Applicable Rate), shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant on demand, and all such amounts so repayable, together with such interest, shall be deemed to constitute Additional Rent hereunder. Payment by Landlord of any such premium, or the carrying by Landlord of any such policy, shall not be deemed to waive or release the default of Tenant with respect thereto.
Section 12.5 (A) Landlord shall cause each policy carried by Landlord insuring the Buildings against loss, damage or destruction by fire or other casualty, and Tenant shall cause each insurance policy carried by Tenant and insuring the Premises and Tenant’s Alterations, leasehold improvements and Tenant’s Property against loss, damage or destruction by fire or other casualty, to be written in a manner so as to provide that the insurance company waives all rights of recovery by way of subrogation against Landlord, Tenant and any tenant of space in the Buildings in connection with any loss or damage covered by any such policy. Neither party shall be liable to the other for the amount of such loss or damage which is in excess of the applicable deductible, if any, caused by fire or any of the risks enumerated in its policies, provided that such waiver was obtainable at the time of such loss or damage. However, if such waiver cannot be obtained, or shall be obtainable only by the payment of an additional premium charge above that which is charged by companies carrying such insurance without such waiver of subrogation, then the party undertaking to obtain such waiver shall notify the other party of such fact and such other party shall have a period of ten (10) days after the giving of such notice to agree in writing to pay such additional premium if such policy is obtainable at additional cost (in the case of Tenant, pro rata in proportion of Tenant’s rentable area to the total rentable area covered by such insurance); and if such other party does not so agree or the waiver shall not be obtainable, then the provisions of this Section 12.5 shall be null and void as to the risks covered by such policy for so long as either such waiver cannot be obtained or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired shall refuse to pay the additional premium. If the release of either Landlord or Tenant, as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 12.5, shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of the party in question shall be deemed not released, but no action or rights shall be sought or enforced against such party unless and until all rights and remedies against the other’s insurer are exhausted and the other party shall be unable to collect such insurance proceeds.
(B) The waiver of subrogation referred to in Section 12.5(A) above shall extend to the agents and employees of each party (including, as to Landlord, the Manager), but only if and to the extent that such waiver can be obtained without additional charge (unless such party shall pay such charge). Nothing contained in this Section 12.5 shall be deemed to relieve either party from any duty imposed elsewhere in this Lease to repair, restore and rebuild.

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OR OTHER CAUSE
Section 13.1 If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of Sections 13.2 and 13.3 below, proceed with reasonable diligence, after receipt of, and subject to obtaining, the net proceeds of insurance, to repair or cause to be repaired such damage at its expense, but such repair obligation shall be limited to the core and structural core and perimeter walls only, with access available to the Premises; and, if the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be rendered untenantable by reason of such damage and such damage shall not be due to the fault of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, then the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent payable pursuant to Articles 3 and 4, or an amount thereof apportioned according to the area of the Premises so rendered untenantable (if less than the entire Premises shall be so rendered untenantable), shall be abated for the period from the date of such damage to the date when the repair of such damage shall have been substantially completed. Tenant covenants and agrees to cooperate with Landlord and any Lessor or any Mortgagee in their efforts to collect insurance proceeds (including rent insurance proceeds) payable to such parties. Landlord shall not be liable for any delay which may arise by reason of adjustment of insurance on the part of Landlord and/or Tenant, or any cause beyond the control of Landlord or contractors employed by Landlord. Tenant shall, after Landlord shall have substantially completed its repair obligations, repair all damage to Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s Alterations and all leasehold improvements in the Premises.
Section 13.2 Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from damage from fire or other casualty or the repair thereof. Tenant understands that Landlord, in reliance upon Section 12.4, will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s Alterations and leasehold improvements, and that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same.
Section 13.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 13.1 and 13.2 above, if the Premises shall be materially (i.e., thirty percent (30%) or more) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if a Building shall be so damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty (whether or not the Premises are damaged or destroyed) that its repair or restoration requires the expenditure (as estimated by a reputable contractor or architect designated by Landlord) of more than thirty percent (30%) of the full insurable value of a Building immediately prior to the casualty, then in either such case Landlord may, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Lease (i) with respect to the entire Premises if more than thirty percent (30%) of the Premises are damaged, and (ii) with respect to that portion of the Premises that are located in any Building that is materially damaged, but only to the extent that such portion of the Premises is located in the materially damaged Building(s), and the term and estate hereby granted, by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within ninety (90) days after the date of such damage. In the event that such a notice of termination shall be given, then this Lease and the term and estate hereby granted shall expire as of the date of termination stated in said notice with the same effect as if that were the Fixed Expiration Date, and the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable pursuant to Articles 3 and 4 shall be apportioned as of such date. If the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty not caused by the
35
Table of Contents
negligence or wrongful act of Tenant, such that thirty percent (30%) or more of the Premises is rendered untenantable or reasonable means of access to the Premises is cut off and (i) Landlord’s contractor or architect estimates that the Premises will not be substantially repaired or restored within one (1) year following such fire or other casualty, or (ii) the Premises are not substantially repaired and restored within one (1) year after the date of the fire or other casualty, or (iii) because of Landlord’s failure to commence such repair and restoration within six (6) months after such casualty, such repair and restoration will not be completed within such one (1) year period, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord notice to such effect within thirty (30) days after the date of such fire or casualty, if pursuant to clause (i), or the end of such six (6) month or one (1) year period, as the case may be, if pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii), in which event the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of the date of termination.
Section 13.4 Except as may be provided in Section 12.5, nothing herein contained shall relieve Tenant from any liability to Landlord or to Landlord’s insurers in connection with any damage to the Premises or the Buildings by fire or other casualty if Tenant shall be legally liable in such respect.
Section 13.5 This Lease shall be considered an express agreement governing any case of damage to or destruction of the Buildings or any part thereof by fire or other casualty, and Section 227 of the Real Property Law of the State of New York providing for such a contingency in the absence of express agreement and any other law of like import now or hereafter in force, shall have no application in such case.

Section 14.1 If the whole of the Buildings or the Premises is acquired or condemned for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, this Lease and the Term shall end as of the date of the vesting of title with the same effect as if said date were the Fixed Expiration Date. If only a part of a Building, the Buildings or the Land and not the entire Premises is so acquired or condemned then, (1) except as hereinafter provided in this Section 14.1, this Lease and the Term shall continue in effect but, if a part of the Premises is included in the part of a Building or the Land so acquired or condemned, from and after the date of the vesting of title, the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent payable pursuant to Articles 3 and 4 shall be reduced in the proportion which the area of the part of the Premises so acquired or condemned bears to the total area of the Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation; (2) provided that the Premises are affected thereby, Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may give to Tenant, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Landlord receives notice of vesting of title, a thirty (30) day notice of termination of this Lease; and (3) if the part of a Building, the Buildings or the Land so acquired or condemned contains more than twenty percent (20%) of the total area of the Premises immediately prior to such acquisition or condemnation and the remaining area of the Premises shall not be reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue feasible operation of its business, or if, by reason of such acquisition or condemnation, Tenant no longer has access to the Premises, Tenant, at Tenant’s option, may give to Landlord, within sixty (60) days next following the date upon which Tenant receives notice of vesting of title, a thirty (30) day notice
36

of termination of this Lease. If any such thirty (30) day notice of termination is given, by Landlord or Tenant, this Lease and the Term shall come to an end and expire upon the expiration of said thirty (30) days with the same effect as if the date of expiration of said thirty (30) days were the Fixed Expiration Date. If a part of the Premises is so acquired or condemned and this Lease and the Term are not terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.1, Landlord, at Landlord’s cost and expense, shall restore that part of the Premises not so acquired or condemned to a self-contained rental unit, exclusive of Tenant’s Alterations, leasehold improvements and Tenant’s Property. In the event of any termination of this Lease and the Term pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.1, the Fixed Rent shall be apportioned as of the date of sooner termination and any prepaid portion of the Fixed Rent or Additional Rent payable pursuant to Articles 3 and 4 for any period after such date shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant.
Section 14.2 In the event of any such acquisition or condemnation of all or any part of the Real Property, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award for any such acquisition or condemnation. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to any such award. Nothing contained in this Section 14.2 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim in any condemnation proceedings for the value of any Tenant’s Property and Tenant’s Alterations included in such taking, and for any moving expenses, so long as Landlord’s award is not reduced thereby.
Section 14.3 If the whole or any part of the Premises is acquired or condemned temporarily during the Term for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any way and Tenant shall continue to pay in full all items of Rental payable by Tenant hereunder without reduction or abatement, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself any award or payments for such use; provided, however, that if the acquisition or condemnation is for a period extending beyond the Term, such award or payment shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the amount of any award or payment allowed or retained for restoration of the Premises shall remain the property of Landlord if this Lease expires prior to the restoration of the Premises.

ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING, MORTGAGE, ETC.
Section 15.1 Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease other than to an Affiliate of Tenant, (b) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or allow the same to be used, occupied or utilized by anyone other than Tenant, or (c) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise hypothecate this Lease or the Premises or any part thereof in any manner whatsoever, without in each instance obtaining the prior consent of Landlord.
Section 15.2 If and so long as Tenant is a corporation or a partnership, the following shall be deemed to be an assignment of this Lease under Section 15.1 prohibited by said Section unless Tenant obtains the prior consent of Landlord: one or more sales or transfers of stock or partnership interests, voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, or the issuance
37
Table of Contents
of new stock or partnership interests, by which an aggregate of more than fifty percent (50%) of Tenant’s stock or partnership interests shall be vested in a party or parties who are not stockholders or partners as of the date hereof. This Section shall not apply to transactions with a corporation, limited liability company or partnership into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any corporation, limited liability company or partnership (an “Affiliate”) which controls Tenant or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant if (a) the successor to Tenant has a tangible net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the greater of (i) the tangible net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, or (ii) the tangible net worth on the date of this Lease of the original Tenant herein named, and (b) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such tangible net worth is delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any corporation all the outstanding voting stock of which is listed on a national securities exchange (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or is traded in the over-the-counter market with quotations reported by the National Association of Securities Dealers through its automated system for reporting quotations. The term “control” or “Control” as used in this Lease (i) in the case of a corporation shall mean ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting common capital stock of that corporation, (ii) in the case of a general or limited liability partnership, shall mean more than fifty percent (50%) of the general partnership or membership interest of the partnership, (iii) in the case of a limited partnership, shall mean more than fifty percent (50%) of the general partnership interests of such limited partnership, and (iv) in the case of a limited liability company, shall mean more than fifty percent (50%) of the membership interests of such limited liability company.
Section 15.3 If this Lease is assigned, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease, Landlord may collect rent from the assignee. If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet or used or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, and expiration of Tenant’s time to cure such default, collect rent from the subtenant or occupant. In either event, Landlord may apply the net amount collected to the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 15.1, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to assignment, mortgaging, subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not in any way be considered to relieve Tenant from obtaining the consent of Landlord to any other or further assignment, mortgaging, subletting or use or occupancy by others not expressly permitted by this Article. References in this Lease to use or occupancy by others (that is, anyone other than Tenant) shall not be construed as limited to subtenants and those claiming under or through subtenants but as including also licensees and others claiming under or through Tenant, immediately or remotely.
Section 15.4 Any assignment or transfer, whether made with Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 15.1 or without the requirement of Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 15.2, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee shall assume the obligations of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed and whereby the assignee shall agree that the
38
Table of Contents
provisions in Section 15.1 shall, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers. Notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this Lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of the Fixed Rent or Additional Rent by Landlord from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the original named Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and for the other obligations of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed.
Section 15.5 The liability of Tenant and any immediate or remote successor in interest of Tenant and the due performance of the obligations of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed shall not be discharged, released or impaired in any respect by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord with the then Tenant extending the time of, or modifying any of the obligations of, this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord to enforce any of the obligations of this Lease.
Section 15.6 Neither the listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the door of the Premises or on any directory, or otherwise, nor the acceptance by Landlord of any check not drawn by Tenant in payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Charges, shall operate to vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Landlord to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others.
Section 15.7 Except as specifically provided to the contrary in this Article 15, if Tenant shall at any time or times during the Term desire to assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which notice shall be accompanied by (a) a reasonably detailed term sheet conformed or photostatic copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, the effective or commencement date of which shall be at least thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice, (b) a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant, the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, and (c) current financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant, including, without limitation, its most recent financial report. Such notice shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord (or Landlord’s designee) may, at its option, terminate this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet or assigned. Said option may be exercised by Landlord by notice to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after such notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord; and during such thirty (30)-day period Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet such space to any person.
Section 15.8 Intentionally omitted.
Section 15.9 Intentionally omitted.
Section 15.10 If Landlord does not exercise its option to terminate the proposed sublease or assigned portion of the Premises pursuant to Section 15.7. and provided that Tenant is not in default of any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord’s consent (which shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) to the proposed assignment or sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided and upon condition that:
(A) Tenant shall have complied with the provisions of Section 15.7;
39

(B) in Landlord’s judgment the proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in a business and the Premises will be used in a manner which (i) is in keeping with the then standards of the Buildings, (ii) is limited to the use expressly permitted under Section 5.1, or any other office, laboratory or similar use which complies with Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements and otherwise with the provisions of this Lease, and (iii) will not violate any negative covenant as to use contained in any other lease of space in the Project;
(C) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a reputable person of good character and with sufficient financial worth considering the responsibility involved, and Landlord has been furnished with reasonable proof thereof;

(E) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the proposed Sublease, which shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Article; and
(F) the consent of any Mortgagee whose Mortgage requires the consent of the Mortgagee shall have been obtained.
Section 15.11 Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable costs that may be incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed assignment or sublease, whether consented to by Landlord or not, including, without limitation, the costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and legal costs incurred in connection with the granting of any requested consent.
Section 15.12 The amount of the aggregate rent per rentable square foot to be paid by a proposed subtenant under a proposed sublease shall not be less than the then-current Rental per rentable square foot for the Premises set forth herein, unless the proposed sublease or assignment shall provide that, in the event that the assignee or subtenant attorns to Landlord, then, immediately upon such attornment, the rental rate for the subleased or assigned premises shall increase to a rental rate equal to the then-current Rental as set forth herein. The rental and other terms and conditions of any actual sublease shall be the same as those contained in the proposed sublease term sheet furnished to Landlord pursuant to Section 15.7.
Section 15.13 Except for any subletting by Tenant to Landlord or its designee pursuant to the provisions of this Article, each subletting pursuant to this Article shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease. Notwithstanding any such subletting to Landlord or any such subletting to any other subtenant and/or acceptance of rent or additional rent by Landlord from any subtenant, Tenant shall and will remain fully liable for the payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due and to become due hereunder and for the performance of all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed and all acts and omissions of any licensee or subtenant or anyone claiming under or through any subtenant which shall be in violation of any of the obligations of this Lease, and any such violation shall be deemed to be a violation by Tenant. Tenant further agrees that notwithstanding
40

any such subletting, no other and further subletting of the Premises by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant shall or will be made except upon compliance with and subject to the provisions of this Article. Whether or not Landlord declines to give its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise its option to terminate under Section 15.7, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed assignee or sublessee or by any brokers or any other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.
Section 15.14 If (a) Landlord fails to exercise its option to terminate under Section 15.7 and Landlord consents to a proposed assignment or sublease, and (b) Tenant fails to execute and deliver the assignment or sublease to which Landlord consented within ninety (90) days after the giving of such consent, then Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Section 15.7 before assigning this Lease or subletting all or any part of the Premises.
Section 15.15 With respect to each and every sublease or subletting authorized by Landlord under the provisions of this Lease, it is further agreed that:
(A) no subletting shall be for a term ending later than one (1) day prior to the expiration date of this Lease;
(B) no sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, until an executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Landlord; and
(C) each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate, and that in the event of termination, reentry or dispossess by Landlord under this Lease Landlord may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Landlord’s option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not (i) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any offset which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, or (iii) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease or by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) month’s rent.
(D) If (i) a subtenant of Tenant, under a sublease for which Landlord’s consent is required hereunder and has been obtained, has a minimum net worth calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles equal to at least six times the aggregate of the annual fixed rent, operating payments and tax payments provided for in such sublease (ii) such sublease (A) has a term of five (5) years or more, (B) provides for the demise of at least fifty percent (50%) of the rentable area of the Premises and (C) provides on a per rentable square foot basis for a fixed rental and additional rent equal to or greater than the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges provided for in this Lease (or which provides for the escalation of such subtenant’s rental to such level at such time as it seeks to invoke the protections of this Section), and (iii) Landlord shall be reimbursed for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees), then Landlord shall execute and deliver to

such subtenant, at the time such sublease is made, a non-disturbance agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, confirming Landlord’s agreement hereunder to recognize such subtenant as the direct tenant of Landlord upon the termination of this Lease by reason of a default by Tenant, provided that at the time of the termination of this Lease (x) no default exists under the subtenant’s sublease which would then permit the landlord thereunder to terminate the sublease or to exercise any dispossess remedy provided for therein and (y) the subtenant will deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming the agreement of the subtenant to attorn to Landlord and to recognize Landlord as such subtenant’s landlord under the sublease, which instrument shall provide that neither Landlord nor anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, shall be:
(1) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including the then-defaulting landlord),
(2) subject to any offsets or defenses which the subtenant may have against any prior landlord (including the then-defaulting landlord),
(3) bound by any payment of rent which the subtenant might have made for more than one (1) month in advance of the due date of any corresponding rental obligation under this Lease to any prior landlord (including the then-defaulting landlord),
(4) liable for any security deposited by such subtenant which has not been transferred as such to Landlord,
(5) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the premises demised by said sublease,
(6) bound by any obligation to make any payment to the subtenant, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease to be performed after the date of such termination of this Lease to the extent Landlord would be obligated to perform the same under this Lease, or
(7) bound by any modification of the sublease to which Landlord shall have not consented in writing.
ARTICLE 16
ACCESS TO PREMISES
Section 16.1 (A) Tenant shall permit Landlord, Landlord’s agents and public utilities servicing the Buildings to erect, use and maintain concealed ducts, pipes and conduits in and through the Premises. Landlord or Landlord’s agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times upon (except in case of emergency) reasonable prior notice, which notice may be oral, to examine the same, to perform audits or inspections for Hazardous Materials, to show the same to prospective purchasers, Mortgagees or lessees of the Buildings or space therein, or to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions (i) as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable to the Premises or to any other portion of the Buildings, or (ii) which Landlord may elect to perform at least ten (10) days after notice (except in an
42
Table of Contents
emergency when no notice shall be required) following Tenant’s failure to make repairs or perform any work which Tenant is obligated to make or perform under this Lease, or (iii) for the purpose of complying with Requirements, and Landlord shall be allowed to take all material into and upon the Premises that may be required therefor without the same constituting an eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and the Fixed Rent (and any other item of Rental) shall in no respect xxxxx or be reduced by reason of said repairs, alterations, improvements or additions, wherever located, or while the same are being made, by reason of loss or interruption of business of Tenant, or otherwise. Landlord shall promptly repair any damage caused to the Premises by such work, alterations, improvements or additions. Landlord shall not store materials in the Premises (except during performance of the work), unless they are confined to the area in which such alterations, additions and improvements are being performed. In exercising its rights under this Section 16.1, Landlord shall attempt to coordinate with Tenant in making any repairs, alterations or improvements in the Premises and shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s conduct of business in the Premises, provided Landlord shall not be required to use overtime labor.
(B) Any work performed or installations made pursuant to this Article 16 shall be made with reasonable diligence and otherwise pursuant to Section 7.3.
(C) Any pipes, ducts, or conduits installed in or through the Premises pursuant to this Article 16 shall, if reasonably practicable, either be concealed behind, beneath or within partitioning, columns, ceilings or floors located or to be located in the Premises, or completely furred at points immediately adjacent to partitioning, columns or ceilings located or to be located in the Premises.
Section 16.2 If Tenant is not present when for any reason entry into the Premises may be necessary or permissible, Landlord or Landlord’s agents may enter the same without rendering Landlord or such agents liable therefor (if during such entry Landlord or Landlord’s agents accord reasonable care to Tenant’s Property), and without in any manner affecting this Lease.
Section 16.3 Landlord also shall have the right at any time, without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, to change the arrangement or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the Buildings, provided any such change does not unreasonably interfere with, or deprive Tenant of access to, the Buildings or the Premises; to put so-called “solar film” or other energy-saving installations on the inside and outside of the windows; and to change the name, number or designation by which the Buildings and/or the Project are commonly known. All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Premises) of all walls, windows and doors bounding the Premises (including exterior Building walls, exterior core corridor walls, exterior doors and entrances), all space in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, chutes, pipes, conduits, ducts, fan rooms, heating, air cooling, plumbing and other mechanical facilities, service closets and other Building facilities are not part of the Premises, and Landlord shall have the use thereof, as well as access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of inspection, operation, maintenance, alteration and repair.

CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY
Section 17.1 Tenant shall not at any time use or occupy the Premises in violation of the certificate of occupancy at such time issued for the Premises or for a Building. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the certificate of occupancy for the Premises or a Building limits the total number of persons permitted to occupy the floor of a Building on which the Premises is located, then Tenant shall be entitled to use the Premises to accommodate a proportionate share of the total number of persons permitted by the certificate of occupancy to occupy the floor of a Building on which the Premises is located, based upon the ratio that the rentable square footage of the Premises bears to the total rentable square footage on such floor of a Building. In the event that any Government Authority hereafter contends or declares by notice, violation, order or in any other manner whatsoever that the Premises are used for a purpose that is a violation of such certificate of occupancy, Tenant shall, upon three (3) Business Days’ written notice from Landlord or any Government Authority, immediately discontinue such use of the Premises; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prevent Tenant from contesting such violation pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5.
ARTICLE 18

(3) if Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
(4) if any case, proceeding or other action shall be commenced or instituted against Tenant (a) seeking to have an order for relief entered against Tenant as debtor or to adjudicate Tenant a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to Tenant or Tenant’s debts under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debtors, or (b) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for Tenant or for all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property, which either (i) results in any such entry of an order for relief; adjudication of bankruptcy or insolvency or such an appointment or the issuance or entry of any other order having a similar effect or (ii) remains undismissed for a period of ninety (90) days; or
(5) if any case, proceeding or other action shall be commenced or instituted against Tenant seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property which results in the entry of an order for any such relief which is not vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded pending appeal within ninety (90) days from the entry thereof; or
(6) if Tenant shall take any action in furtherance of, or indicating Tenant’s consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts set forth in clauses (2), (3), (4) or (5) above; or
(7) if a trustee, receiver or other custodian shall be appointed for any substantial part of the assets of Tenant which appointment is not vacated or effectively stayed within ninety (90) days; or
(G) if Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any other term, covenant or condition of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed and Tenant shall fail to remedy such default within thirty (30) days after notice by Landlord to Tenant of such default, or if such default is of such a nature that it cannot with due diligence be completely remedied within said period of thirty (30) days and the continuation of which for the period required for cure will not subject Landlord to the risk of criminal liability or termination of any Superior Lease or foreclosure of any Mortgage, if Tenant shall not, (i) within said thirty (30)-day period advise Landlord of Tenant’s intention duly to institute all steps necessary to remedy such situation, (ii) duly institute within said thirty (30)-day period, and thereafter diligently and continuously prosecute to completion all steps necessary to remedy the same and (iii) complete such remedy within such time after the date of the giving of said notice by Landlord as shall reasonably be necessary.

Section 18.2 If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, at Landlord’s option, give written notice to Tenant stating that this Lease and the Term shall expire and terminate on the date specified in such notice, which date shall not be less than three (3) days after the giving of such notice, whereupon this Lease and the Term and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall automatically expire and terminate as if the date specified in the notice given pursuant to this Section 18.2 were the Fixed Expiration Date and Tenant immediately shall quit and surrender the Premises, but Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided herein or pursuant to law. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such termination shall be stayed by order of any court having jurisdiction over any proceeding described in Section 18.1(F), or by federal or state statute, then, following the expiration of any such stay, or if the trustee appointed in any such proceeding, Tenant or Tenant as debtor-in-possession fails to assume Tenant’s obligations under this Lease within the period prescribed therefor by law or within one hundred twenty (120) days after entry of the order for relief or as may be allowed by the court, or if said trustee, Tenant or Tenant as debtor-in-possession shall fail to provide adequate protection of Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Premises or adequate assurance of the complete and continuous future performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, Landlord, to the extent permitted by law or by leave of the court having jurisdiction over such proceeding, shall have the right, at its election, to terminate this Lease on three (3) days’ notice to Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession or said trustee and upon the expiration of said three (3)-day period this Lease shall cease and expire as aforesaid and Tenant, Tenant as debtor-in-possession or said trustee shall immediately quit and surrender the Premises as aforesaid.
Section 18.3 If, at any time, (i) Tenant shall consist of two (2) or more persons, or (ii) Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall have been guaranteed by any person other than Tenant, or (iii) Tenant’s interest in this Lease has been assigned, the word “Tenant” as used in Section 18.1(F), shall be deemed to mean any one or more of the persons primarily or secondarily liable for Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Any monies received by Landlord from or on behalf of Tenant during the pendency of any proceeding of the types referred to in Section 18.1(F) shall be deemed paid as compensation for the use and occupancy of the Premises and the acceptance of any such compensation by Landlord shall not be deemed an acceptance of Rental or a waiver on the part of Landlord of any rights under Section 18.2.
ARTICLE 19
REMEDIES AND DAMAGES
Section 19.1 (A) If any Event of Default shall occur, or this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 18:
(1) Tenant shall quit and peacefully surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord and its agents may immediately, or at any time after such Event of Default or after the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end, re-enter the Premises or any part thereof, without notice, either by summary proceedings, or by any other applicable action or proceeding, or by force or otherwise (without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor), and may repossess the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other persons from the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise and remove any and all of their property and effects from the Premises (and Tenant shall remain liable for damages as provided herein or pursuant to law); and

(2) Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may relet the whole or any part or parts of the Premises from time to time, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, to such tenant or tenants, for such term or terms ending before, on or after the Fixed Expiration Date, at such rent or rentals and upon such other conditions, which may include concessions and free rent periods, as Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, may determine; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for refusal or failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting, and no such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affect any such liability, and Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such Alterations, in and to the Premises as Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, shall consider advisable or necessary in connection with any such reletting or proposed reletting, without relieving Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability.
(B) Tenant hereby waives the service of any notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end that may otherwise be required to be given under any present or future law. Tenant, on its own behalf and on behalf of all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including all creditors, does further hereby waive any and all rights that Tenant and all such persons might otherwise have under any present or future law to redeem the Premises, or to re-enter or repossess the Premises, or to restore the operation of this Lease, after (a) Tenant shall have been dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge, or (b) any re-entry by Landlord, or (c) any expiration or termination of this Lease and the Term, whether such dispossess, re-entry, expiration or termination is by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease. The words “re-entry”, “re-enter” and “re-entered” as used in this Lease shall not be deemed to be restricted to their technical legal meanings. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant, or any persons claiming through or under Tenant, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to enjoin such breach and the right to invoke any other remedy allowed by law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other special remedies were not provided in this Lease for such breach. The right to invoke the remedies hereinbefore set forth are cumulative and shall not preclude Landlord from invoking any other remedy allowed at law or in equity.
Section 19.2 (A) If this Lease and the Term shall expire and come to an end as provided in Article 18, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as provided in Section 19.1, or by or under any summary proceeding or any other action or proceeding, then, in any of said events:
(1) Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Fixed Rent, all Additional Rent (including Additional Rent payable pursuant to Articles 3 and 4) and other items of Rental payable under this Lease by Tenant to Landlord to the date upon which this Lease and the Term shall have expired and come to an end or to the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be;
(2) Tenant also shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as damages, any deficiency (“Deficiency”) between the Rental for the period which otherwise
47
Table of Contents
would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term and the net amount, if any, of rents collected under any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of Section 19.1 (A)(2) for any part of such period (after first deducting from the rents collected under any such reletting all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with the termination of this Lease, Landlord’s reentry upon the Premises and such reletting including, but not limited to, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, alteration costs and other expenses of preparing the Premises for such reletting); any such Deficiency shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the days specified in this Lease for payment of installments of Fixed Rent; Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant each monthly Deficiency as the same shall arise, and no suit to collect the amount of the Deficiency for any month shall prejudice Landlord’s right to collect the Deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding; and
(3) whether or not Landlord shall have collected any monthly Deficiency as aforesaid, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, in lieu of any further Deficiency as and for liquidated and agreed final damages, a sum equal to the amount by which the unpaid Rental for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term exceeds the then fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the same period, both discounted to present worth at four percent (4%) per annum less than the Base Rate; if, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the Premises, or any part thereof, are relet by Landlord for the period which otherwise would have constituted the unexpired portion of the Term, or any part thereof, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting shall be deemed, prima facie, to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the Premises so relet during the term of the reletting.
(B) If the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be relet together with other space in a Building, the rents collected or reserved under any such reletting and the expenses of any such reletting shall be equitably apportioned for the purposes of this Section 19.2. Tenant shall in no event be entitled to any rents collected or payable under any reletting (except as a credit against amounts owing to Landlord as set forth above), whether or not such rents exceed the Fixed Rent reserved in this Lease. Solely for the purposes of this Article 19, the phrase “Additional Rent payable pursuant to Articles 3 and 4” as used in Section 19.2(A) shall mean the Additional Rent payable pursuant to Articles 3 and 4 in effect immediately prior to the Expiration Date, or the date of re-entry upon the Premises by Landlord, as the case may be. Nothing contained in Article 18 or this Article 19 shall be deemed to limit or preclude the recovery by Landlord from Tenant of the maximum amount allowed to be obtained as damages by any statute or rule of law, or of any sums or damages to which Landlord may be entitled in addition to the damages set forth in this Section 19.2.
ARTICLE 20
FEES AND EXPENSES
Section 20.1 If (i) Tenant shall default under this Lease, or (ii) Tenant does or permits any act or thing upon the Premises, not expressly permitted under this Lease, that would cause Landlord to be in default under any Superior Lease or Mortgage and Tenant does not cure such act or thing within fifteen (15) days (or such shorter period as Landlord may be permitted
48

pursuant to any Superior Lease or Mortgage) after notice thereof (or without notice in case of emergency), or (iii) Tenant fails to comply with its obligations under this Lease and the preservation of property or the safety of any tenant, occupant or other person is threatened, Landlord may (1) perform the same for the account of Tenant (but shall not be obligated to do so), or (2) make any expenditure or incur any obligation for the payment of money in connection with any obligation owed to Landlord, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, and in either case the cost thereof, with interest thereon at the Applicable Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after rendition of any xxxx or statement to Tenant therefor. In addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord any reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with any proceeding in which the value for the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant is being determined (but only if such proceeding results from a default by Tenant under this Lease). In the proof of any losses that Landlord may claim against Tenant arising out of Tenant’s failure to maintain insurance, Landlord will not be limited to the amount of the unpaid insurance premium but rather Landlord will also be entitled to recover the amount of any uninsured loss (to the extent of any deficiency in the insurance required by the provisions of this Lease), damages, costs, and expenses of lawsuit (including attorney’s fees) arising out of damage or destruction occurring during any period for which Tenant has failed to adequately provide such insurance as required. Any reservation of a right by Landlord to enter upon the Premises and to make or perform any repairs, Alterations, or other work in, to or about the Premises, which, in the first instance, is Tenant’s obligation pursuant to this Lease, shall not be deemed to: (x) impose any obligation on Landlord to do so, (y) render Landlord liable to Tenant or any third party for the failure to do so, or (z) relieve Tenant from any obligation to indemnify Landlord as otherwise provided elsewhere in the Lease.
Section 20.2 If Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other item of Rental when due, (i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on or before the first day of the following month three and one-half ($.035) cents for each dollar so overdue (but in no event greater than the maximum interest rate permitted by law) in order to defray Landlord’s administrative and other costs in connection with such late payment and (ii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in addition to such installment of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other item of Rental, as the case may be, and in addition to the foregoing late charge, and as Additional Rent, a sum equal to interest at the Applicable Rate on the amount unpaid, computed from the date such payment was due to and including the date of payment.
ARTICLE 21
NO REPRESENTATIONS BY LANDLORD
Section 21.1 Landlord and Landlord’s agents have made no representations, warranties or promises with respect to the Buildings, the Real Property or the Premises except as herein expressly set forth, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth herein. Tenant acknowledges that (a) it is in possession of the 769 Premises and a portion of 771 Premises and is fully familiar with the condition of the Premises and Tenant shall, subject to the completion of the Landlord Improvements, accept possession of the Premises in its “as is” condition on the Commencement Date, and (b) Landlord
49
Table of Contents
shall have no other obligation to perform any work or make any installations in order to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, except for the Landlord Improvements. The taking of occupancy of the whole or any part of the Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that Tenant accepts possession of the same and that the Premises and the Buildings were in good and satisfactory condition (excluding latent defects) at the time such occupancy was so taken and that the Premises were substantially as shown on Schedule A. All references in this Lease to the consent or approval of Landlord shall be deemed to mean the written consent or approval executed by Landlord and no other consent or approval of Landlord shall be effective for any purpose whatsoever.
ARTICLE 22
END OF TERM
Section 22.1 Upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises, vacant, broom clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Alterations, as may be required pursuant to Article 6. Tenant shall also remove all of Tenant’s Property and all other personal property and personal effects of all persons claiming through or under Tenant, and shall pay the cost of repairing all damage to the Premises and the Real Property occasioned by such removal. Any Tenant’s Property or other personal property that remains in the Premises after the termination of this Lease shall be deemed to have been abandoned and either may be retained by Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If such Tenant’s Property or other personal property or any part thereof is sold, Landlord may receive and retain the proceeds of such sale as the property of Landlord. Any expense incurred by Landlord in removing or disposing of such Tenant’s Property or other personal property or Alterations required to be removed as provided in Article 6, as well as the cost of repairing all damage to the Buildings or the Premises caused by such removal, shall be reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant, as Additional Rent, on demand.
Section 22.2 If the Expiration Date falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then Tenant’s obligations under Section 22.1 shall be performed on or prior to the immediately preceding Business Day.
Section 22.3 Tenant expressly waives, for itself and for any person claiming through or under Tenant, any rights that Tenant or any such person may have under the provisions of Section 2201 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and of any similar or successor law of like import then in force in connection with any holdover proceedings that Landlord may institute to enforce the provisions of this Article.
Section 22.4 If the Premises are not surrendered upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, Tenant hereby indemnifies Landlord against liability or expense (including any consequential damages) resulting from delay by Tenant in so surrendering the Premises, including any claims made by any succeeding tenant or prospective tenant founded upon such delay and agrees to be liable to Landlord for (i) any payment or rent concession which Landlord may be required to make to any tenant obtained by Landlord for all or any part of the Premises in order to induce such tenant not to terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant and (ii) the loss of the benefit of the bargain if any such tenant shall terminate its lease by reason of the holding-over by Tenant.

Section 22.5 Tenant’s obligation under this Article shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
ARTICLE 23
POSSESSION AND TENANT IMPROVEMENTS
Section 23.1 If Landlord shall be unable to deliver possession of the 777 Premises or any additional space to be included within the Premises on the specific date (if any) designated in this Lease for the commencement of the Term or for the inclusion of such space for any reason whatsoever, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefor and the validity of this Lease shall not be impaired thereby, but the 777 Premises Commencement Date shall be postponed until three (3) Business Days after notice from Landlord that the Premises or such additional space are available for occupancy by Tenant. Tenant expressly waives any other right to rescind this Lease under Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law or under any present or future statute of similar import then in force and further expressly waives the right to recover any damages that may result from Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of the Premises or such additional space on the specific date (if any) designated for the commencement of the Term. Tenant agrees that the provisions of this Article 23 are intended to constitute “an express provision to the contrary” within the meaning of said Section 223-a. Tenant expressly acknowledges that the 777 Premises are currently occupied by third-party occupants and that the 777 Premises Commencement Date is conditioned upon the execution and delivery of any and all documentation necessary to terminate any lease or agreement with respect to such third-party occupants of any portion of the 777 Premises.
Section 23.2 Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord written acknowledgment of the actual 777 Premises Commencement Date within ten (10) days after Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises. Failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment, however, shall not affect the 777 Premises Commencement Date or Landlord’s or Tenant’s liability hereunder. Failure by Tenant to obtain validation by any medical review board or other similar governmental licensing of the Premises, if and to the extent required for the Permitted Use by Tenant shall not serve to extend the 777 Premises Commencement Date.
Section 23.3 Tenant shall cause to be constructed the tenant improvements, including signage and 771 Building signage, in and about the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”) consistent with the Permitted Use at a cost to Landlord not to exceed One Million One Hundred Fifty-Seven Thousand Nine Hundred Dollars ($1,157,900) (based upon Ten Dollars ($10.00) per rentable square foot of the 769 Premises and 771 Premises) (the “TI Allowance”). The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed by Tenant in accordance with the procedures for Alterations set forth Article 6 hereof. The TI Allowance may be applied to the costs of (a) construction, (b) project review by Landlord (in accordance with Section 6.2), (c) space planning, architect, engineering and other related services performed by third parties unaffiliated with Tenant, (d) building permits and other taxes, fees, charges and levies by Governmental Authorities (as defined below) for permits or for inspections of the Tenant Improvements, (e) costs and expenses
51
Table of Contents
for labor, material, equipment and fixtures, and (f) furniture, fixtures and equipment to be placed within the Premises in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars ($289,475) (based on twenty-five percent (25%) of the TI Allowance). In no event shall the TI Allowance be used for (v) the cost of work that is not authorized by the approval in writing by Landlord in accordance with Article 6, (w) payments to Tenant or any affiliates of Tenant, except for the Rental credit, if any, due to Tenant pursuant to Section 23.4 below, (x) the purchase of any furniture, personal property or other non-building system equipment exceeding twenty-five percent (25%) of the TI Allowance, (y) costs resulting from any default by Tenant of its obligations under this Lease or (z) costs that are recovered by Tenant from a third party (e.g., insurers, warrantors, or tortfeasors); provided that Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts short of litigation to recover any such costs. The TI Allowance may be allocated by Tenant to any floor or portion of the Premises with no requirement to expend any minimum amount or maximum amount on any floor or portion of the Premises.
Section 23.4 Tenant may request payment of the TI Allowance in installments as costs are incurred, not more frequently than once per month, upon submission to Landlord of bills and invoices indicating that such costs permitted by Section 23.3 have been incurred. If Tenant has complied with the provisions of this Article 23 for payment of any portion of the TI Allowance and Landlord wrongfully fails to make such payment within (30) days after notice from Tenant, Tenant may offset against Rent next coming due and place into an escrow account any and all of such offset amounts that Landlord may have wrongfully failed to advance, pending resolution by mutual agreement, court of competent jurisdiction, or independent third party mediator or arbitrator of any dispute between the parties related thereto.
Section 23.5 Tenant shall have until the date that is six (6) months after the 777 Premises Commencement Date (the “TI Deadline”), to expend the unused portion of the TI Allowance, after which date Landlord’s obligation to fund such costs shall expire. If Tenant has not applied all of the TI Allowance to the Tenant Improvements as of the TI Deadline, then Landlord shall credit such unused balance against the next Rental payment coming due after the TI Deadline and any successive Rental payment coming due until the TI Allowance is exhausted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the TI Allowance Rental credit exceed Two Hundred Eighty-Nine Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars ($289,475) (equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the TI Allowance).
Section 23.6 Landlord shall not be obligated to expend or disburse any portion of the TI Allowance until Landlord shall have received from Tenant sufficient evidence that Tenant has complied with the requirements of Article 6. Landlord may elect to pay Tenant’s contractors directly.
ARTICLE 24
NO WAIVER
Section 24.1 No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of
52
Table of Contents
Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys to the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of this Lease or a surrender of the Premises. If Tenant shall at any time desire to have Landlord sublet the Premises for Tenant’s account, Landlord or Landlord’s agents are authorized to receive the keys for such purpose without releasing Tenant from any of the obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby relieves Landlord of any liability for loss of or damage to any of Tenant’s effects in connection with such subletting.
Section 24.2 The failure of Landlord to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all of the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other item of Rental with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The failure of Landlord to enforce any of the Rules and Regulations against Tenant or any other tenant in a Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Rules and Regulations. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, unless such waiver shall be in writing and shall be signed by Landlord. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rental then due and payable shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest item(s) of Rental, or as Landlord may elect to apply the same, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance due of the Rental or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and all prior negotiations and agreements are merged herein. Any executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, discharge or effect an abandonment of this Lease in whole or in part unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge or abandonment is sought.
ARTICLE 25
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY
Section 25.1 Landlord and Tenant shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, whether during or after the Term, or for the enforcement of any remedy under any statute, emergency or otherwise. If Landlord shall commence any summary proceeding against Tenant, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding (unless failure to interpose such counterclaim would preclude Tenant from asserting in a separate action the claim which is the subject of such counterclaim), and will not seek to consolidate such proceeding with any other action which may have been or will be brought in any other court by Tenant or Landlord.

INABILITY TO PERFORM
Section 26.1 This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay Rental hereunder and to perform all of the other covenants and agreements hereunder on the part of Tenant to be performed shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, expressly or implicitly to be performed by Landlord, or because Landlord is unable to make or is delayed in making any repairs, additions, alterations, improvements or decorations, or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any services, equipment or fixtures, if Landlord is prevented from or delayed in so doing by reason of acts of God, casualty, strikes or labor troubles, accident, governmental preemption in connection with an emergency, Requirements, conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war or other emergency, or any other cause whatsoever (but not lack of funds), whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (“Unavoidable Delays”).

Table of Contents
Rules and Regulations which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning of the HVAC System. Tenant shall pay Landlord for heat, ventilating and air-conditioning as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after Landlord bills Tenant therefor, which bills shall be rendered not more often than monthly. The amount of such Additional Rent for a given period of time shall be equal to the total cost to Landlord of delivering steam and chilled water for the Premises, which cost shall be determined based upon Landlord’s established mathematical model as described in Schedule G hereto. The performance by Landlord of its obligations under this Section 28.1(C) subject to Tenant’s compliance with the conditions of occupancy and connected load established by Landlord. Use of the Premises, or any part thereof, in a manner exceeding the heating, ventilating and/or air-conditioning design conditions (including occupancy and connected electrical load), or rearrangement of partitioning which interferes with normal operation of the heating, ventilating and/or air-conditioning in the Premises, or the use of computer or data processing machines or other machines or equipment, may require changes in the heating, ventilating and/or air-conditioning systems servicing the Premises, in order to provide comfortable occupancy. Such changes, so occasioned, shall be made by Tenant, at its expense, as Alterations in accordance with the provisions of Article 6, but only to the extent permitted and upon the conditions set forth in that Article. Tenant expressly acknowledges that some or all windows are or may be hermetically sealed and will not open and Landlord makes no representation as to the habitability of the Premises at any time the HVAC System is not in operation. Tenant hereby expressly waives any claims against Landlord arising out of the cessation of operation of the HVAC System, or the suitability of the Premises when the same is not in operation, whether due to normal scheduling or the reasons set forth in Section 28.2. Landlord, throughout the Term, shall have free access to all mechanical installations of Landlord, including but not limited to air-cooling, fan, ventilating and machine rooms and electrical closets, and Tenant shall not construct partitions or other obstructions that may interfere with Landlord’s free access thereto, or interfere with the moving of Landlord’s equipment to and from the enclosures containing said installations. Neither Tenant nor Persons Within Tenant’s Control shall at any time enter the said enclosures or tamper with, adjust, touch or otherwise in any manner affect said mechanical installations. Landlord’s obligations under this Section 28.1(C) are subject to applicable Requirements that may limit the hours or the extent to which Landlord is permitted to supply HVAC.
(D) Furnish hot and cold water for lavatory and drinking and office cleaning purposes. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any other purposes (including for laboratory purposes), Tenant agrees that Tenant shall, if requested by Landlord, install a meter or meters or other means to measure Tenant’s water consumption, and Tenant further agrees to pay for the cost of the meter or meters and the installation thereof, and to pay for the maintenance of said meter equipment and/or to pay Landlord’s cost of other means of measuring such water consumption by Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of all water consumed (including costs of generating hot water) as measured by said meter or meters or as otherwise measured, including sewer rents, as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after bills are rendered.

employees or visitors, (ii) the use of portions of the Premises for special purposes requiring greater or more difficult cleaning work than office areas, (iii) interior glass partitions or unusual quantity of interior glass surfaces, and (iv) special materials or finishes on items installed by Tenant or its subtenants or its or their employees or visitors or at its or their request; (b) removal from the Premises and the Buildings of any refuse or rubbish of Tenant in excess of that ordinarily accumulated in business office occupancy or at times other than Landlord’s standard cleaning times; and (c) any additional operating expenses attributable to the use and occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or its subtenants or its or their employees or visitors other than during Business Hours on Business Days. If, however, any additional cleaning of the Premises is to be done by Tenant, it shall be done at Tenant’s sole expense, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and no one other than persons approved by Landlord shall be permitted to enter the Premises or the Buildings for such purpose. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall cause the Premises to be exterminated on a monthly basis to the satisfaction of Landlord and additionally shall cause all portions of the Premises used for the storage, preparation, service or consumption of food or beverages to be cleaned daily in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and to be treated against infestation by vermin, rodents or roaches, whenever there is evidence of any infestation. Tenant shall not permit any person to enter the Premises or the Buildings for the purpose of providing such extermination services, unless such persons have been approved by Landlord. If so requested by Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall store any refuse generated by the consumption of food or beverages on the Premises in a cold box or similar facility. Landlord, its cleaning contractor and their employees shall have access to the Premises after 5:30 p.m. and before 9:00 a.m. and shall have the right to use, without charge therefor, all light, power and water in the Premises reasonably required to clean the Premises as required under Section 28.1.

Tenant acknowledges that security devices and services, if any, while intended to deter crime, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts. Landlord shall not be liable for injuries or losses caused by criminal acts of third parties, and Tenant assumes the risk that any security device or service may malfunction or otherwise be circumvented by a criminal and waives any claim against Landlord arising out of or in connection with the failure of any security service or device. If Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts, then Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain appropriate insurance coverage.
Section 28.2 (A) Landlord reserves the right to stop the furnishing of the Building services and to stop service of the Building Systems, when necessary, by reason of accident, or emergency, or for Alterations in the judgment of Landlord desirable or necessary to be made, until said Alterations shall have been completed; and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply air-conditioning, ventilation, heat, elevator, plumbing, electric, gas, steam or other services during said period or when prevented from so doing by strikes, lockouts, difficulty of obtaining materials, accidents or by any cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable

control, or by Requirements or failure of electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power supply, or inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain electricity, water, steam, coal, oil or other suitable fuel or power. No diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation shall or will be claimed by Tenant as a result therefrom, nor shall this Lease or any of the obligations of Tenant be affected or reduced by reason of such interruption, curtailment or suspension, nor shall the same constitute an actual or constructive eviction.
(B) If, by reason of Landlord’s failure to make repairs or replacements required to be made by Landlord pursuant to this Lease (a “Landlord Failure”), the Building HVAC System, the Building electrical system, the Building elevators, or the Building plumbing/water system serving the Premises shall become inoperable, and as a result thereof a material portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable and Tenant ceases to use such portion of the Premises for the conduct of its business and such Landlord Failure continues unremedied for more than ten (10) consecutive days after Tenant gives written notice to Landlord of the Landlord Failure and the fact that a material portion of the Premises has been rendered untenantable by reason of such Landlord Failure and that Tenant shall have ceased using such portion of the Premises for the conduct of its business, then the Fixed Rent shall be abated during the time that such portion remains untenantable and unused by reason of such Landlord Failure after such tenth (10th) day, apportioned according to the rentable area of the Premises so rendered untenantable and unused. Nothing contained in this Section 28.2(B) is intended to, or shall be deemed to, make any event described in or contemplated by Articles 13, 14 or 39.2 or any event resulting from an act or omission of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control a Landlord Failure.
Section 28.3 Tenant agrees to abide by all requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper protection and functioning of its Building Systems and the furnishing of the Building services.

ARTICLE 30
ELECTRIC ENERGY
Section 30.1 Subject to the provisions of this Article, Landlord shall furnish the electric energy that Tenant shall reasonably require in the Premises for the Permitted Use. Except for electric energy required to operate motors on the air handlers providing heat,
59
Table of Contents
ventilating and conditioning to the Premises (“HVAC Electric”), such electric energy may, at Landlord’s option, be furnished through a meter or meters and related equipment, installed and maintained by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, measuring the amount of electric energy furnished to the Premises. Tenant shall pay Landlord for such electric energy as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after Landlord bills Tenant therefor, which bills shall be rendered not more often than monthly. The amount of such Additional Rent (a) for HVAC Electric shall be equal to Landlord’s cost, as determined pursuant to Section 28.1, and (b) for other electric energy furnished to the Premises (“Basic Electric”) shall be equal to Landlord’s actual cost, applied to the readings on each such meter or meters, including in each case, without limitation, those charges applicable to or computed on the basis of electric consumption, demand and hours of use, any sales or other taxes regularly passed on to or collected from similar consumers by such public utility company, fuel rate adjustments and surcharges, and weighted in each case to reflect differences in consumption or demand applicable to each rate level (taking into account the benefit of any “business incentive rate” that is payable by Landlord). Tenant and its authorized representatives may have access to such meter or meters (if any) on at least three (3) days’ notice to Landlord, for the purposes of verifying Landlord’s meter readings (if any). Except with respect to the 777 Premises, from time to time during the Term of this Lease, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, install or eliminate, or increase or reduce the number of, such meters or vary the portions of the Premises which they serve or replace any or all of such meters.

Section 30.5 Tenant’s use of electric energy in the Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Premises. In order to insure that such capacity is not exceeded and to avert possible adverse effect upon a Building’s distribution of electricity via a Building’s electric system, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior consent in each instance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, based upon availability of electric energy in a Building as allocated by Landlord to various areas of a Building) make any alterations or additions to the electric system of the Premises existing on the Commencement Date. Should Landlord grant such consent, all additional risers or other equipment required therefor shall be provided by Landlord and the cost thereof shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand. Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to pay sums on account of such cost prior to the installation of any such risers or equipment.

If Landlord discontinues provision of electric energy pursuant to this Section, Tenant shall not be released from any liability under this Lease, except that as of the date of such discontinuance, Tenant’s obligation to pay Landlord Additional Rent under Section 30.1 for electric energy (or either HVAC Electric or Basic Electric, as the case may be) thereafter supplied to the Premises shall cease. As of such date, Landlord shall permit Tenant to receive electric energy directly from the public utility company or other provider supplying electric energy to the Project, and Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of obtaining such direct electrical service.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right, as part of the Tenant Improvements, to install exterior Building signage comparable with that of other tenants in the Existing Project occupying all or substantially all of an entire building, in accordance with this Article 31 for the 771 Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless the Indemnitees from and against (a) all claims of whatever nature against the Indemnitees arising from any act, omission or negligence of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, (b) all claims against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person or to the property of any person and occurring in or about the Premises during the Term or during Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises (unless caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct), (c) all claims against the Indemnitees arising from any accident, injury or damage occurring outside of the Premises but anywhere within or about the Real Property, where such accident, injury or damage results or is claimed to have resulted from an act, omission or negligence of Tenant or Persons Within Tenant’s Control, and (d) any breach, violation or non-performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained in this Lease to be fulfilled, kept, observed and performed by Tenant. This indemnity and hold harmless agreement shall include indemnity from and against any and all liability, fines, suits, demands, costs and expenses of any kind or nature (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof.
Section 33.2 If any claim, action or proceeding is made or brought against any Indemnitee, against which claim, action or proceeding Tenant is obligated to indemnify such Indemnitee pursuant to the terms of this Lease, then, upon demand by the Indemnitee, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall resist or defend such claim, action or proceeding in the Indemnitee’s name, if necessary, by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Counsel selected by Tenant’s insurance company shall be deemed satisfactory to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such attorneys shall be defending both Tenant or any Persons Within Tenant’s Control and an Indemnitee, such Indemnitee may, if it reasonable determines that there is a potential conflict of interest or the matter involves claims in excess of $3,000,000, retain its own attorneys to defend or assist in defending any claim, action or proceeding, and Tenant shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such attorneys.

If any issuer of the Letter of Credit shall become insolvent or placed into FDIC receivership, then Tenant shall immediately deliver to Landlord (without the requirement of notice from Landlord) substitute Letter of Credit issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and otherwise conforming to the requirements set forth in this Article 35.

The existing Letter of Credit currently held by Landlord, as well as the form of letter of credit annexed to this Lease as Schedule F, are satisfactory. The Letter of Credit shall provide that:
(1) The Issuing Bank shall pay to Landlord or its duly authorized representative an amount up to the face amount of the Letter of Credit upon presentation of the Letter of Credit and a sight draft in the amount to be drawn;
(2) The Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each during the Term, unless the Issuing Bank sends written notice (the “Non-Renewal Notice”) to Landlord by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, to the effect that it elects not to have such Letter of Credit renewed;
(3) The Letter of Credit delivered in respect of the last year of the Term shall have an expiration date of not earlier than thirty (30) days after the Fixed Expiration Date; and
(4) The Letter of Credit shall be transferable by Landlord as provided in Section 35.4.

Section 39.2 The obligations of Landlord under this Lease shall not be binding upon Landlord named herein after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by such Landlord (or upon any subsequent landlord after the sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer by such subsequent landlord) of its interest in the Buildings or the Real Property, as the case may be, and in the event of any such sale, conveyance, assignment or transfer, Landlord shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord under this Lease thereafter arising, and the transferee shall be deemed to have assumed, subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 39.2, all obligations of the Landlord under this Lease arising after the effective date of the transfer.

Tenant shall not look to any other property or assets of Landlord or any property or assets of any of the Parties in seeking either to enforce Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord’s failure to perform such obligations.
Section 39.3 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or Rental, shall constitute rent for the purposes of Section 502(b)(7) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 39.4 Tenant shall be permitted, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to record a memorandum of this Lease in a form reasonably approved by Landlord, provided that Tenant deliver to Landlord, simultaneously with the delivery of such memorandum, a termination and release of such memorandum which is in recordable form and is executed and notarized by an authorized officer of Tenant.

If with respect to any required consent or approval Landlord is required by the express provisions of this Lease not to unreasonably withhold or delay its consent or approval, and if it is determined in any such proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence that Landlord acted unreasonably, the requested consent or approval shall be deemed to have been granted; however, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant for its refusal or failure to give such consent or approval.

Any fee, tax or charge imposed by any Government Authority for any such vaults, vault space or other space occupied by Tenant shall be paid by Tenant.
Section 39.7 If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date, without the execution by both Tenant and Landlord of a new lease, Tenant, at the election of Landlord, shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a Tenant from month-to-month, at a monthly rental equal to the greater of (a) one and one-half (1 1/2) times the Rental payable during the last month of the Term, and (b) the then fair market value, on a monthly basis, for comparable space, subject to all the other conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.

phrases in this Lease are stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Lease shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Lease and no implication or inference shall be drawn from the fact that such words or phrases were stricken out or otherwise eliminated.

RENEWAL OPTIONS
Section 43.1 Provided that (a) this Lease is in full force and effect as of the date of the First Renewal Notice (as hereinafter defined) and the Second Renewal Notice (as hereinafter defined), as the case may be, (b) there shall not then be existing an Event of Default hereunder and (c) Tenant shall be in actual physical occupancy of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Premises on the date of the applicable Renewal Notice and upon commencement of the applicable Renewal Term, Tenant shall have two options to extend the Term of this Lease, each for an additional term of five years (respectively, the “First Renewal Term” and the “Second Renewal Term” and collectively, the “Renewal Terms”), commencing on the day after the Fixed Expiration Date, in the case of the First Renewal Term, and commencing on the day after the last day of the First Renewal Term, in the case of the Second Renewal Term. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Landlord, in its sole discretion, may waive any Event of Default by Tenant and no such Event of Default may be used by Tenant to negate the effectiveness of Tenant’s exercise of the option(s) hereunder. Tenant’s option with respect to the First Renewal Term shall be exercisable by written notice (the “First Renewal Notice”) to Landlord given not later than twelve (12) months prior to the Fixed Expiration Date. Tenant’s option with respect to the
70
Table of Contents
Second Renewal Term, shall be exercisable by written notice (the “Second Renewal Notice”) to Landlord given not later than twelve (12) months prior to the last day of the First Renewal Term. The Renewal Terms shall constitute extensions of the initial Term of this Lease and shall be upon all of the same terms and conditions as the initial Term, except that (i) there shall be only one option to renew the term of this Lease for the Second Renewal Term in the First Renewal Term, and there shall be no further option to renew the term of this Lease in the Second Renewal Term, (ii) Landlord shall not be required to furnish any materials or perform any work to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy and Landlord shall not be required to reimburse Tenant for any Alterations made or to be made by Tenant, and (iii) the Fixed Rent for the Renewal Terms shall be payable at a rate per annum equal to the “fair market rental value” of the Premises as of the first day of the First Renewal Term in the case of the First Renewal Term, and as of the first day of the Second Renewal Term in the case of the Second Renewal Term. As used in this Article 43, “fair market rental value” means ninety-five percent (95%) of the Premises’ average market rental value over the six (6) months immediately preceding the applicable Renewal Term. During both Renewal Terms, all sums of Additional Rent that Tenant is obligated to pay under this Lease during the initial Term shall continue without interruption, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the Renewal Terms shall be deemed a part of and continuation of the initial Term of this Lease.
Section 43.2 If Tenant shall have given the First Renewal Notice or the Second Renewal Notice, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 43.1 of this Article 43, the parties shall endeavor to agree upon the fair market rental value of the Premises, as of the first day of each Renewal Term. In determining fair market rental value, the parties shall take into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, that the Fixed Rent is subject to an automatic two and one half percent (2.5%) annual increase, and the Premises shall be deemed to have Building standard improvements, notwithstanding that Tenant may have installed above standard improvements. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon such fair market value for either Renewal Term within thirty (30) days after the giving of the First Renewal Notice or the Second Renewal Notice as the case may be, then Tenant shall have the right at any time prior to the appointment of a Baseball Arbitrator to void the First Renewal Notice or Second Renewal Notice, as the case may be, upon notice to Landlord, or if Tenant does not so void such notice then either party may request that the same be determined as follows: A senior officer of a nationally recognized leasing brokerage firm with local knowledge of Westchester County real estate and knowledge of the greater New York laboratory / research and development leasing market (the “Baseball Arbitrator”) shall be selected and paid for jointly by Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Baseball Arbitrator, then the same shall be designated by the Manhattan Chapter of the American Arbitration Association or any successor organization thereto (the “AAA”). The Baseball Arbitrator, but not necessarily his or her employer, selected by the parties or designated by the President of the AAA shall (i) have at least ten years experience in the leasing of office and laboratory / research and development space in Westchester County and (ii) not have done work for, or been employed or retained by, either Landlord or Tenant or any affiliate of either for a period of at least 10 years prior to his/her appointment pursuant hereto. Landlord and Tenant shall each submit to the Baseball Arbitrator and to the other its determination of the fair market rental value. The Baseball Arbitrator shall afford to Landlord and Tenant a hearing and the right to submit evidence. The Baseball Arbitrator shall determine which of the two rent determinations more closely represents the fair market rental value of the Premises. The arbitrator may not select any other fair market rental value for the Premises other than one submitted by Landlord
71
Table of Contents
or Tenant. The determination of the party so selected or designated shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant and shall serve as the basis for the determination of the Fixed Rent payable for the applicable Renewal Term. If, as of the commencement date of the applicable Renewal Term, the amount of the Fixed Rent payable during the applicable Renewal Term in accordance with this Article 43 shall not have been determined, then, pending such determination, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent equal to the Fixed Rent payable in respect of the last year of the Initial Term in the case of the First Renewal Term and in the last year of the First Renewal Term in the case of the Second Renewal Term. After the final determination of the Fixed Rent payable for such Renewal Term, the parties promptly and appropriately shall adjust rental payments theretofore made during the applicable Renewal Term and shall execute a written agreement specifying the amount of the Fixed Rent as so determined. Any failure of the parties to execute such written agreement shall not affect the validity of the Fixed Rent as so determined.
Section 43.3 It is an express condition of the options granted to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Article 43 that time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of such options within the periods above provided.
ARTICLE 44
TERMINATION OPTION
Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease (the “Termination Option”) with respect to the entire Premises effective as of January 1, 2015 (the “Early Termination Date”), subject to the full satisfaction of the following terms and conditions: (a) Tenant shall provide written notice of the Termination Option no later than July 1, 2014 (the “Termination Notice Deadline”), time being of the essence; (b) as of the Termination Notice Deadline or the Early Termination Date, Tenant shall not be in default of (i) any monetary obligations or (ii) beyond any applicable notice and cure periods of any of Tenant’s material non-monetary Lease obligations, and no condition shall exist that with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) could mature into a default of any of Tenant’s Lease obligations; (c) any unamortized brokerage fees or commissions actually paid by Landlord in connection with the representation of Tenant for this Lease shall be reimbursed by Tenant prior to the Early Termination Date (based upon straight-line amortization over the remainder of the Term remaining after such brokerage commission is paid); (d) any unamortized TI Allowance (based upon straight-line amortization over the 10-year Term) shall be reimbursed by Tenant prior to the Early Termination Date; and (e) Tenant shall not be released from any provision of this Lease that expressly survives the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, including without limitation the requirement to surrender the Premises in the condition required under Article 22.
ARTICLE 45
EXPANSION OPTION
Section 45.1 Subject to (a) the conditions set forth in this Article 45, including without limitation, the rights of existing tenants and occupants of the Property, summaries of which may be provided to Tenant upon demand, subject to any confidentiality provisions related thereto, and
72
Table of Contents
(b) the availability of such space, Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to expand the Premises (the “Expansion Option”) to include approximately ten thousand three hundred ninety (10,390) rentable square feet of contiguous space in Building 777 (the “Expansion Space”) as identified in Schedule E attached hereto.
Section 45.2 Landlord shall notify Tenant if and when any Expansion Space becomes available (the “Expansion Notice”). Tenant may exercise the Expansion Option by providing Landlord written notice (the “Expansion Acceptance Notice”). In order for the Expansion Acceptance Notice to be effective it must be given prior to the date which is the later to occur of (x) sixty (60) days after Landlord’s Expansion Notice and (y) the 777 Premises Commencement Date. Tenant’s failure to timely exercise its Expansion Option shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s Expansion Option and Landlord shall have no further obligation to offer such Expansion Space to Tenant. Within ten (10) days after exercising the Expansion Option, Tenant and Landlord shall enter into a written amendment to the Lease (the “Amendment”), which amendment shall provide, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (a) the commencement date of the Expansion Space, (b) that the Premises under this Lease shall be increased to include the rentable square feet of the Expansion Space, (c) the new Fixed Rent, with the Expansion Space increasing Fixed Rent at the then-current rental rate for the 777 Premises per square foot under the Lease, (d) Tenant’s Tax Proportionate Share and Tenant’s Operating Proportionate Share to exclude the addition of the Expansion Space to the Premises, (e) the increase to the Security Deposit, but only if Landlord has sent two (2) or more notices of monetary default in any twelve (12) month period prior to the Expansion Notice, and (f) that Landlord has delivered, or is obligated to deliver as a condition to the payment of any Rent with respect to the Expansion Space, such Expansion Space in turn-key condition similar to the condition that Landlord is required to deliver the 777 Premises pursuant to Exhibit J annexed hereto; provided, however, if the Expansion Option is exercised any time after the first (1st) anniversary of the 777 Premises Commencement Date, the amount of Landlord’s contribution to the improvement of the Expansion Space shall be reduced on a straight line depreciation schedule (over the remainder of the Term at the time of exercise of the Expansion Option) based on the cost per square foot to improve the original 777 Premises (e.g., if the initial improvements to the 777 Premises were Ten Dollars ($10) per rentable square foot, then in year two (2) of the Term, Landlord shall only be obligated to provide Nine Dollars ($9) per square foot of Expansion Space, based on a One Dollar ($1) per year depreciation schedule). Landlord currently estimates that Landlord’s Improvements with respect to the 777 Premises only will cost approximately One Hundred Dollars ($100) per rentable square foot (provided that Landlord acknowledges that there is no limitation on the amount Landlord is required to spend in order to complete Landlord’s Improvements). In order to make the calculations contemplated by this Section 45.2, promptly following completion of Landlord’s Improvements, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant as reasonably detailed calculation of Landlord’s actual costs of completing Landlord’s Improvements with respect to the 777 Premises only. In all other respects, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and shall apply to the Expansion Space.
Section 45.3 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 45 to the contrary, Tenant shall not exercise the Expansion Option during such period of time that Tenant is in default under any provision of this Lease. Any attempted exercise of the Expansion Option during a period of time in which Tenant is so in default shall be void and of no effect. In addition, Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise the Expansion Option if Landlord has given Tenant three (3) or more notices of default under this Lease (provided that any improper notice given by Landlord shall not be counted), whether or not such properly noticed defaults are cured.

ARTICLE 46
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER.
Section 46.1 Tenant shall have a right of first offer (“ROFO”) as to any rentable premises in the Buildings contiguous (including adjacent floors) to the Premises for which Landlord is seeking a tenant (“Available ROFO Premises”); provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be required to lease any Available ROFO Premises to Tenant for any period past the date on which this Lease expires or is terminated pursuant to its terms. To the extent that Landlord renews or extends a then-existing lease with any then-existing tenant of any space, or enters into a new lease or an amendment with such then-existing tenant for the affected space, such space shall not be deemed to be Available ROFO Premises. In the event Landlord intends to market Available ROFO Premises, Landlord shall provide written notice thereof to Tenant (the “Notice of Marketing”).
Section 46.2 Within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of a Notice of Marketing, Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing whether Tenant elects to lease all (not just a portion) of the Available ROFO Premises and on what terms and conditions. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s election within said ten (10) Business Day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have elected not to lease the Available ROFO Premises.
Section 46.3 If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that Tenant elects to lease all of the Available ROFO Premises and of the terms and conditions therefore (“Tenant’s Offer”) (provided that Tenant shall be required to lease the Available ROFO Premises for at least the remainder of the then-current Term), then Landlord shall have ten (10) days after receipt of Tenant’s Offer to respond to Tenant in writing whether Landlord elects to lease the Available ROFO Premises to Tenant on the terms and conditions set forth in Tenant’s Offer.
Section 46.4 If (a) Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant elects not to lease the Available ROFO Premises, (b) Tenant fails to notify Landlord of Tenant’s election within the ten (10)-day period described above or (c) Landlord declines to lease the Available ROFO Premises to Tenant on the terms and conditions set forth in Tenant’s Offer, then Landlord shall have the right to consummate a lease of the Available ROFO Premises at base rent not less than that stated in Tenant’s Offer, unless such base rent is first offered to Tenant first in accordance with the terms of this Article 46.
Section 46.5 Notwithstanding anything in this Article 46 to the contrary, Tenant shall not exercise the ROFO during such period of time that Tenant is in default of (i) any monetary obligations or (ii) beyond any applicable notice and cure periods of any of Tenant’s material non-monetary Lease obligations. Any attempted exercise of the ROFO during a period of time in which Tenant is so in default shall be void and of no effect. In addition, Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise the ROFO if Landlord has given Tenant two (2) or more notices of default under this Lease in any twelve (12) month period during the Term (provided that any improper notice given by Landlord shall not be counted), whether or not such properly noticed defaults are cured.
74
Table of Contents
Section 46.6 Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not assign or transfer the ROFO, either separately or in conjunction with an assignment or transfer of Tenant’s interest in the Lease, without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.
Section 46.7 If Tenant exercises the ROFO, Landlord does not guarantee that the Available ROFO Premises will be available on the anticipated commencement date for the Lease as to such Premises due to a holdover by the then-existing occupants of the Available ROFO Premises or for any other reason beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.
ARTICLE 47
ATON SUBLEASE
Section 47.1 Promptly after the Execution Date, at no cost to Tenant, Aton and Tenant shall terminate the Aton Sublease and Landlord shall enter into an agreement with Aton to terminate that portion of the lease between Landlord and Aton for the Aton Subleased Premises, each termination to be effective as of the 777 Premises Commencement Date. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in the termination of the Aton Sublease as aforesaid. If for any reason the Aton Sublease is not terminated on the 777 Premises Commencement Date, provided that (a) Tenant shall not be in default of (i) any monetary obligations, or (ii) beyond any applicable notice and cure periods of any of Tenant’s material non-monetary Lease obligations, and (b) Tenant has vacated the Aton Subleased Premises and takes delivery of the 777 Premises, then Landlord hereby assumes all of Tenant’s obligations under the Aton Sublease, effective as of 777 Premises Commencement Date.
