Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Acid Neutralization System must be replaced and the cost thereof is not included in such third party maintenance contract, then, Landlord shall replace the Acid Neutralization System, it being acknowledged, however, that Tenant shall be responsible for its share of all costs incurred in connection therewith as an Operating Expense allocated to the Laboratory Area Expense Pool, as provided in Article VI below (subject to amortization set forth therein relating to Permitted Capital Expenditures).

(ii) Tenant shall be solely responsible for the use of the Acid Neutralization System by Tenant, its employees, any contractors, sublessees, invitees or any party other than Landlord or Landlord’s contractors, and Tenant shall be jointly and severally responsible for the use of the Acid Neutralization System with the other user tenants. Tenant shall use, and cause other parties under its control or for which it is responsible to use, the Acid Neutralization System in accordance with this Lease and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, the Discharge Permit and any permits and approvals from Governmental Authorities for or applicable to Tenant’s use of the Acid Neutralization System. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall take any action or make any omission that would result in a violation of the Discharge Permit or any other permit or Legal Requirements applicable to the Acid Neutralization System. Tenant’s compliance with applicable permits and Legal Requirements shall include but not be limited to posting signs at all sinks located in the Premises containing applicable notices regarding the use of sink drains for the disposal of chemicals and other Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall maintain a chemical management plan prohibiting the improper discharge or disposal of chemicals. Tenant shall train all laboratory personnel in the Premises on the proper disposal of chemicals and other Hazardous Materials. Landlord reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, to require reasonable limitations and restrictions on discharges by Tenant to the Acid Neutralization System as Landlord may reasonably determine to be necessary for the operation of the Acid Neutralization System. Landlord and its contractors and consultants shall be permitted to perform periodic sampling of all substances regulated under permits applicable to the Acid Neutralization System, including without limitation the Discharge Permit, or as otherwise deemed

appropriate by Landlord in its sole discretion. Landlord and its contractors and consultants shall be permitted to perform periodic inspections of the Acid Neutralization System and the discharge points and connections thereto located in the Premises. If requested by Landlord based on conditions pertaining to the Acid Neutralization System, Tenant shall promptly provide updates to its list of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials List (as defined in Section 11.15(a) below) to Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any changes in the flow volume or properties that could impact the operation of the Acid Neutralization System or compliance with applicable permits or Legal Requirements, including without limitation a discharge known or reasonably believed to be non-compliant, changes in Tenant’s operations in the Premises and addition of new equipment by Tenant such as cage washers, glass washers or autoclaves.

(iii) The scope of the Surrender Plan (as defined in Section 16.4(b) of this Lease) shall include all actions for the proper cleaning, decommissioning and cessation of Tenant’s use of the Acid Neutralization System, and all requirements under this Lease for the surrender of the Premises shall also apply to Tenant’s cessation of use of the Acid Neutralization System, in each case whether at Lease expiration, termination or prior thereto (but Tenant shall not be required to complete the decommissioning of the Acid Neutralization System if other tenants or occupants will continue to use the same after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, nor shall Tenant be responsible for or bear any costs of decommissioning arising from the use of the Acid Neutralization System by any party other than Tenant; it being agreed that if multiple tenants use the Acid Neutralization System, then Landlord shall be responsible for completing the decommissioning thereof, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days after invoice therefor Tenant’s share of the reasonable, actual costs of decommissioning based on the ratio of the rentable square footage of the Premises to the rentable square footage of the Premises and the premises of all other user tenants). The obligations of Tenant under this Lease with respect to the Acid Neutralization System shall be joint and several with such other tenants as aforesaid, except in the event that Tenant can provide evidence to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that neither Tenant nor any Tenant Party caused, contributed to or exacerbated the matter for which Tenant would otherwise be responsible but for this exception. Without in any way limiting the Acid Neutralization Obligations, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with operational emergency or back-up acid neutralization facilities or to supervise, oversee or confirm that the third party maintaining the Acid Neutralization System is maintaining such system as per the manufacturer’s standard guidelines or otherwise. During any period of replacement, repair or maintenance of the Acid Neutralization System when such system is not operational, including any delays thereto due to the inability to obtain parts or replacement equipment, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with an alternative back-up system or facilities. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord does not guaranty that such Acid Neutralization System will be operational at all times or that such system will be available to the Premises when needed. Without in any way limiting the Acid Neutralization Obligations, in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or any other party for any damages of any type, whether actual or consequential, suffered by Tenant or any such other person in the event that the Acid Neutralization System or back-up system, if any, or any replacement thereof fails or does not operate in a manner that meets Tenant’s requirements. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not abrogate Landlord’s responsibilities under this Lease.

(c) Emergency Generator. Landlord’s sole obligation for either providing an emergency generator or providing emergency back-up power to Tenant shall be: (i) to provide an

12

emergency generator with not less than the capacity of the emergency generator serving the Building as of the Occupancy Date, and (ii) to contract with a third party to maintain the life safety back-up generator as per the manufacturer’s standard maintenance guidelines. Except as otherwise provide in the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with operational emergency or life safety back-up generators or back-up power or to supervise, oversee or confirm that the third party maintaining the life safety back-up generator is maintaining the generator as per the manufacturer’s standard guidelines or otherwise. During any period of replacement, repair or maintenance of the life safety back-up generator when the life safety back-up generator is not operational, including any delays thereto due to the inability to obtain parts or replacement equipment, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with an alternative life safety back-up or emergency generator or generators or alternative sources of back-up power. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord does not guaranty that such life safety back-up or emergency generators will be operational at all times or that life safety back-up or emergency power will be available to the Premises when needed. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or any other person for any damages of any type, whether actual or consequential, suffered by Tenant or any such other person in the event that any life safety backup or emergency generator or life safety back-up power or any replacement thereof fails or does not provide sufficient power.

(d) Roo f Decks. Landlord shall construct and maintain rooftop decks (the “Roof Decks”) on the penthouse level of the Office Area (“Penthouse Roof Deck”) and above the fourth floor (“Fourth Floor Roof Deck”) for nonexclusive use by tenants and occupants of the Building and others entitled thereto. Subject to Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined), construction of the Roof Decks shall be completed on or prior to the Occupancy Date (except for any items which, due to construction limitations caused by the weather or season, cannot be completed by the Occupancy Date, in which event Landlord shall complete such items as soon as possible after the Occupancy Date). Subject to Force Majeure and closures for repair and maintenance, and subject to Landlord’s rights to modify one or both of the Roof Decks in accordance with Section 2.2 (but subject to Section 16.28(a) and (c) below), Tenant shall have the right, during such times as Landlord makes the Roof Decks available for use by the tenants and occupants of the Building and others entitled thereto: (i) to use the Roof Decks on a nonexclusive basis in common with other tenants, at no additional charge (other than inclusion in Operating Expenses), and (ii) to reserve the Roof Decks for its exclusive use from time to time on a first- come, first-served basis. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon invoice therefor, for all of Landlord’s reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and the provision of Building personnel (including additional security, janitorial or other services reasonably needed to facilitate Tenant’s exclusive use of the Roof Decks) incurred in connection with any exclusive use of the Roof Decks by Tenant. Tenant’s use of the Roof Decks shall be subject to availability and such rules and regulations as Landlord may establish from time to time in accordance with Section 11.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right to use or designate the portion(s) of the Roof Decks which are not shown as “Minimum Exterior Roof Deck” on Exhibit 2.2(d) attached hereto, and other portions of the rooftop area, for other uses or for the exclusive use by other tenants; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord permanently designate the portion(s) of the Roof Decks shown as “Minimum Exterior Roof Deck” on said plan for other uses or for the exclusive use by other tenants.

(iv) “Prior Rights” shall be defined as any extension or renewal option under the Initial Lease of such ROFO Premises.

(b) Procedures. Subject to satisfaction of all of the ROFO Conditions (any of which ROFO Conditions Landlord may waive, by written notice to Tenant, in Landlord’s sole discretion), Tenant shall have a one-time right of first offer to lease any ROFO Premises whenever such ROFO Premises become Available for Lease to Tenant.

Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably diligently negotiate such lease amendment in good faith. If the determination of the Annual Fixed Rent payable with respect to a ROFO Premises is to be determined in accordance with a Broker Determination, then, after such Annual Fixed Rent is determined or mutually agreed to, the parties shall execute an agreement confirming such Annual Fixed Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the failure by either party (or both parties) to execute such lease amendment shall not be deemed to nullify, cancel, modify or otherwise affect Tenant’s binding acceptance (as evidenced by the Acceptance) of the Offer.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant have the right to exercise more than one extension option at a time and, further, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise its second extension option unless it has duly exercised its first extension option.

(1) Tenant’s Request. Tenant shall send a notice (“Tenant’s Request”) to Landlord on or before the date thirty (30) days after the applicable Negotiation Period, requesting a Broker Determination of the Prevailing Market Rent, which notice to be effective must (i) make explicit reference to the Lease and to the specific section of the Lease pursuant to which said request is being made, (ii) include the name of a broker selected by Tenant to act for Tenant, which broker shall be affiliated with a major Boston commercial real estate brokerage firm selected by Tenant and which broker shall have at least ten (10) years’ experience dealing in properties of a nature and type generally similar to the Building located in the Fenway, Longwood Medical Area of Boston, and (iii) explicitly state that Landlord is required to notify Tenant within thirty (30) days of an additional broker selected by Landlord.

If the parties have not agreed upon the Annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant on or before the end of the Negotiation Period and Tenant fails timely to send a Tenant’s Request, then Landlord may give a Landlord’s Response without having received a Tenant’s Request.

(3) Selection of Third Broker. If the two brokers so selected do not on or before the date ten (10) days after the selection of the second broker mutually agree in writing upon the Prevailing Market Rent, then the two brokers shall select a third such broker also having at least the affiliation and experience referred to above.

(4) Rental Value Determination. Within thirty (30) days after the selection of the third broker, the three (3) brokers so selected, by majority opinion, shall make a determination of the annual fair market rental value of the Premises for the Extended Term.

If Tenant fails to do so, then Landlord’s broker shall alone make the determination of the Prevailing Market Rent in writing to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives such Landlord Response. If Tenant and Landlord have both designated brokers but the two brokers so designated do not, within a period of fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the second broker, agree upon and designate the third broker willing so to act, Tenant, Landlord or either broker previously designated may request the Boston Bar Association (or such organization as may succeed to the Boston Bar Association) to designate the third broker willing so to act and a broker so appointed shall, for all purposes, have the same standing and powers as though he/she had been seasonably appointed by the brokers first appointed. In case of the inability or refusal to serve of any person designated as a broker, or in case any broker for any reason ceases to be such, a broker to fill such vacancy shall be appointed by Tenant, Landlord, the brokers first appointed or the Boston Bar Association, as the case may be, whichever made the original appointment, or if the person who made the original appointment fails to fill such vacancy, upon application of any broker who continues to act or by Landlord or Tenant such vacancy may be filled by the said Boston Bar Association, and any broker so appointed to fill such vacancy shall have the same standing and powers as though originally appointed.

Any amounts paid based on such an estimate shall be subject to adjustment as herein provided when actual Taxes are available for each Tax Period. If the total of such monthly remittances is greater than Tenant’s Tax Share actually due for such Tax Period, then, Landlord shall credit the difference against the next installment of Additional Rent on account of Taxes due hereunder, except that if such difference is determined after the end of the Term, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such determination to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord. If the total of such remittances is less than Tenant’s Tax Share actually due for such Tax Period, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of an invoice therefor, which invoice shall include a copy of the applicable tax bill. Landlord’s estimate for the next Tax Period shall be based upon actual Taxes for the prior Tax Period plus a reasonable adjustment based upon estimated future Taxes.

Tenant’s failure to make payment when due to the applicable Parking Facilities Manager shall be considered to be a failure in the payment of rent hereunder for which Landlord shall have all its rights and remedies under this Lease and at law and in equity.

10.3 Parking Facilities Operation

Unless otherwise determined by the applicable Parking Facilities Manager, each of the Parking Facilities are to be operated on a self-parking basis, and Tenant shall be obligated to park and remove its own automobiles, and Tenant’s parking shall be on an unreserved basis, Tenant having the right to park in any available stalls; provided, however, that Tenant’s right to park in the On-Site Garage shall be limited to any available stalls on levels P3 - P6 of the On-Site Garage.

Parking Facility, for each parking privilege paid for by Tenant. Tenant shall supply Parking Facilities Manager with an identification roster listing, for each identification sticker or pass, the name of the employee and the make, color and registration number of the vehicle to which it has been assigned, and shall provide a revised roster to Parking Facilities Manager monthly indicating changes thereto. Any automobile found parked in any of the Parking Facilities during normal business hours without appropriate identification will be subject to being towed at said automobile owner’s expense. The parking privileges granted herein are non-transferable (other than to a permitted assignee or subtenant pursuant to the applicable provisions of Article XII hereof). Each of the Parking Facilities Managers may institute at no additional cost to Tenant beyond the Parking Fees a so-called valet parking program for the Parking Facility which it operates, and in such event Tenant shall cooperate in all respects with such program. The Parking Facility Manager of the On-Site Garage shall have the right to alter the On-Site Garage, which it operates as it sees fit and in such case to change in the On-Site Garage, including the reduction in area of the same so long as Tenant’s Parking Privileges are not diminished or materially adversely affected, but subject to Landlord’s rights pursuant to this Article X. Other than a loss of Parking Privileges by reason of a Casualty, a Taking, or a temporary closure due to Force Majeure, it shall be deemed a material default of Landlord if there is a total loss of Tenant’s Parking Privileges.

10.4 Limitations

Tenant agrees that it and all persons claiming by, through and under it, shall at all times abide by all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Parking Facilities Manager with respect to the use of the Parking Facilities in accordance with Section 10.4. Except to the extent of its negligence or willful misconduct, Parking Facilities Manager does not assume any responsibility whatsoever for loss or damage due to fire or theft or otherwise to any automobile or to any personal property therein, however caused, and Tenant agrees, upon request from Parking Facilities Manager, from time to time, to notify its officers, employees and agents then using any of the parking privileges provided for herein, of such limitation of liability. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that a license only is hereby granted, and no bailment is intended or shall be created.

(d) Chemical Safety Program. Tenant shall establish and maintain a chemical safety program administered by a licensed, qualified individual in accordance with the requirements of any applicable Governmental Authority. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred in connection with such chemical safety program, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with such documentation as Landlord may reasonably require evidencing Tenant’s compliance with the requirements of (a) any applicable Governmental Authority with respect to such chemical safety program and (b) this Section. Tenant shall obtain and maintain during the Term any permit required by any such applicable Governmental Authority.

(e) Testing. If any Mortgagee or Governmental Authority requires testing to determine whether there has been any release of Hazardous Materials and such testing is required as a result of the acts or omissions of any of the Tenant Parties, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within thirty (30) days after written demand, as Additional Rent, for the reasonable costs thereof, together with interest at the Lease Interest Rate until paid in full. Tenant shall execute certifications as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time concerning Tenant’s best knowledge and belief concerning the presence of Hazardous Materials in or on the Premises, the Building or the Property as a result of the activities of Tenant or any Tenant Parties.

Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs of such tests if such tests reveal that Tenant or any Tenant Party has caused Hazardous Materials to exist at the Premises in violation of this Lease or any Legal Requirement. Further, Landlord shall have the right to cause a third party consultant retained by Landlord, at Landlord’s expense (provided, however, that such costs shall be included in Operating Expenses), to review, but not more than once in any calendar year, Tenant’s lab operations, procedures and permits to ascertain whether or not Tenant is complying with law and adhering to best industry practices. Tenant agrees to cooperate in good faith with any such review and to provide to such consultant any information requested by such consultant and reasonably required in order for such consultant to perform such review, but nothing contained herein shall require Tenant to provide proprietary or confidential information to such consultant.

Tenant shall, prior to commencing to use the Premises, or any portion thereof, for the Permitted Use, complete an Environmental Questionnaire, as hereinafter defined, and submit such completed Environmental Questionnaire for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In addition, Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to require Tenant to complete and submit to Landlord an updated Environmental Questionnaire. Landlord may request that Tenant update its answers to Environmental Questionnaires no more often than one time every twelve (12) months, unless Landlord has a reasonable basis for believing that Tenant is then in violation of any of the provisions of this Lease relating to Hazardous Materials. If Landlord reasonably disapproves any of Tenant’s answers to any question in an Environmental Questionnaire, then Tenant shall, within

This indemnification of the Landlord Parties by Tenant includes, without limitation, reasonable costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work or any other response actions required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil, soil vapor or ground water on or under or any indoor air in the Building based upon the circumstances identified in the first sentence of this Section.

(1) The indemnification and hold harmless obligations of Tenant under this Section shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material in the Building or otherwise in the Property is caused by any of the Tenant Parties and results in any contamination of any part of the Property or any adjacent property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at Tenant’s sole cost and expense as are necessary to return the Property and/or the Building or any adjacent property to their condition as of the date of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall first obtain Landlord’s written approval of such actions, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such actions, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, would not potentially have any adverse effect on the Property, and, in any event, Landlord shall not withhold its approval of any proposed actions which are required by applicable Environmental Laws. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

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

(i) until the completion of Tenant’s Remediation (as evidenced by the certification of Tenant’s Licensed Site Professional (as such term is defined by applicable Environmental Laws), who shall be reasonably acceptable to Landlord) (the “Remediation Completion Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with respect to the portion of the Premises which reasonably cannot be occupied by a new tenant until completion of Tenant’s Remediation, Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent in accordance with the rates set forth in Section 16.18 below; and

12.1 Restrictions on Transfer

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly assign, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease and/or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include granting of concessions, licenses or the like) the whole or any part of the Premises (any such assignment, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, transfer, and sublease being referred to herein sometimes as a “Transfer”. Any Transfer not expressly permitted in or consented to by Landlord under this Article XII shall, at Landlord’s election, be void; shall be of no force and effect; and shall confer no rights on or in favor of third parties. In addition, Landlord shall be entitled to seek specific performance of or other equitable relief with respect to the provisions hereof.

12.2 Tenant’s Notice

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.1 above, in the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or to sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall give Landlord notice

54

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

(the “Proposed Transfer Notice”) of any proposed sublease or assignment, and said notice shall specify the provisions of the proposed assignment or subletting, including (a) the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, (b) in the case of a proposed assignment or subletting pursuant to Section 12.4 below, such information as to the proposed assignee’s or proposed subtenant’s net worth and financial capability and standing as may reasonably be required for Landlord to make the determination referred to in said Section 12.4 (provided, however, that Landlord shall hold such information confidential having the right to release same to its officers, accountants, attorneys and mortgage lenders on a confidential basis), (c) all of the terms and provisions upon which the proposed assignment or subletting is to be made, (d) in the case of a proposed subletting identifies the portion of the Premises to be sublet (“Affected Portion”), (e) in the case of a proposed assignment or subletting pursuant to Section 12.4 below, all other information necessary to make the determination referred to in said Section 12.4 and (f) in the case of a proposed assignment or subletting pursuant to Section 12.5 below, such information as may be reasonably required by Landlord to determine that such proposed assignment or subletting complies with the requirements of said Section 12.5.

12.3 Landlord’s Termination Right

Landlord shall have the right at its sole option, to be exercised within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Proposed Transfer Notice (the “Acceptance Period”), to terminate this Lease (i) as to the Affected Portion for the term of the proposed sublease, and (ii) with respect to the entire Premises in the case of a proposed assignment, as of a date specified in a notice to Tenant, which date shall not be earlier than sixty (60) days nor later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant; provided, however, that upon the termination date as set forth in Landlord’s notice, all obligations relating to the period after such termination date (but not those relating to the period before such termination date) through the end of the term of the proposed sublease or assignment shall cease and promptly upon being billed therefor by Landlord, Tenant shall make final payment of all Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due from Tenant through the termination date. For avoidance of doubt, if a proposed sublease, for example, is for a proposed term from Rent Year 7 through the end of Rent Year 8, Tenant shall recommence its lease of the Affected Portion as of Rent Year 9 on the terms and conditions and for the remaining term set forth in this Lease. In the event that Landlord shall not exercise its termination rights as aforesaid, or shall fail to give any or timely notice pursuant to this Section the provisions of Sections 12.4, 12.6 and 12.7 shall be applicable. This Section 12.3 shall not be applicable to an assignment or sublease pursuant to Section 12.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Landlord’s recapture rights under this Section 12.3 shall not apply to any Initial Subleases (as hereinafter defined). An “Initial Sublease” shall be defined as a sublease for any portion of the Premises located on the eighth (8th) floor of the Building, the term of which (i) commences prior to the date three (3) years after the Rent Commencement Date, and (ii) expires no later than five (5) years after the commencement date of the applicable Initial Sublease (including all extension and renewal options).

12.4 Consent of Landlord

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.1 above, but subject to the provisions of this Section 12.4 and the provisions of Sections 12.6 and 12.7 below, in the event that Landlord shall not have exercised the termination right as set forth in Section 12.3, or shall have failed to give

55

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

any or timely notice under Section 12.3, then for a period of ninety (90) days (i) after the receipt of Landlord’s notice stating that Landlord does not elect the termination right, or (ii) after the expiration of the Acceptance Period, in the event Landlord shall not give any or timely notice under Section 12.3 as the case may be, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises in accordance with the Proposed Transfer Notice provided that, in each instance, Tenant first obtains the express prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the foregoing standard, Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to such a proposed assignment or subleasing if:

(a) the proposed assignee or subtenant is a tenant in the Building or elsewhere in the Project if Landlord has, or reasonably expects to have at the time of the proposed commencement and during the term of the proposed sublease, comparable space available in the Building, or is (or within the previous sixty (60) days has been) in active negotiation with Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord for premises in the Building or elsewhere in the Project or is not of a character consistent with the operation of a first class office building (by way of example Landlord shall not be deemed to be unreasonably withholding its consent to an assignment or subleasing to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency), or

(b) the proposed assignee or subtenant (i) is not of good character and reputation or (ii) will use the Premises for, and does not have reasonable experience in, the operation and management of research and development and laboratory purposes, including vivariums, in first-class office and laboratory buildings, or

(c) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not possess adequate financial capability to perform Tenant obligations as and when due or required, or

(d) the assignee or subtenant proposes to use the Premises (or part thereof) for a purpose other than the purpose for which the Premises may be used as stated in Section 1.2 hereof, or

(e) the character of the business to be conducted or the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed subtenant or assignee shall (i) be likely to materially increase Operating Expenses for the Building beyond that which Landlord now incurs for use by Tenant; (ii) be likely to materially increase the burden on elevators or other Building systems or equipment over the burden prior to such proposed subletting or assignment; or (iii) violate or be likely to violate any provisions or restrictions contained herein relating to the use or occupancy of the Premises, or

(f) there shall be existing an Event of Default (defined in Section 15.1), or

(g) any part of the rent payable under the proposed assignment or sublease shall be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Premises or if any proposed assignment or sublease shall potentially have any adverse effect on the real estate investment trust qualification requirements applicable to Landlord and its affiliates, or

(h) the holder of any mortgage on property which includes the Premises has a contractual right to approve the assignment or sublease and does not approve of the proposed assignment or sublease, or

56

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

(i) due to the identity or business of a proposed assignee or subtenant, such approval would cause Landlord to be in violation of any covenant or restriction contained in another lease or other agreement affecting space in the Building or elsewhere in the Project.

If Landlord shall consent to the proposed assignment or subletting, as the case may be, then, in such event, Tenant may thereafter sublease or assign pursuant to Tenant’s notice, as given hereunder; provided, however, that if such assignment or sublease shall not be executed and delivered to Landlord within one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Landlord’s consent, the consent shall be deemed null and void and the provisions of Section 12.2 shall be applicable.

12.5 Permitted Transfers

(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 12.1, 12.3 and 12.4 above, but subject to the provisions of Sections 12.6 and 12.7 below, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, to assign this Lease or to sublet the Premises (in whole or in part) to any Permitted Transferee, as hereinafter defined (any such assignment and sublease being referred to herein as a “Permitted Transfer”). Except in cases of statutory merger, in which case the surviving entity in the merger shall be liable as Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall continue to remain fully liable under this Lease, on a joint and several basis with the Permitted Transferee. “Permitted Transferee” shall be defined as: (i) any Successor Entity, (ii) any Tenant Affiliate, and (iii) any TRV Fund Entity, each as hereinafter defined.

(b) A “Successor Entity” shall be defined as any entity which (i) which purchases all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant, (ii) which purchases all or substantially all of the stock of (or other membership interests in) Tenant or (iii) which merges or combines with Tenant, provided that the entity to which this Lease is so assigned or which so sublets the Premises, together with any Guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease, has a credit worthiness (e.g., assets on a pro forma basis using generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and using the most recent financial statements) which is the same or better than the creditworthiness of Tenant and the Guarantor as of the date of such Permitted Transfer.

(c) A “Tenant Affiliate” shall be defined as: (i) any entity which controls or is controlled by Tenant or Tenant’s parent corporation, or (ii) which is under common control with Tenant. If any parent or subsidiary of Tenant to which this Lease is assigned or the Premises sublet (in whole or in part) shall cease to be such a parent or subsidiary, then such parent or subsidiary shall no longer be considered as a Tenant Affiliate and such cessation shall be considered an assignment or subletting requiring Landlord’s consent.

(d) A “TRV Fund Entity” shall be an entity that is a portfolio company of a fund that is managed by Third Rock Ventures, LLC (a “TRV Fund”), provided that (i) such TRV Fund has the right to appoint a representative to the board of directors of such portfolio company, (ii) such TRV Fund owns more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the outstanding preferred stock of such portfolio company, and (iii) further provided that in the case of an assignment only, such entity, together with any Guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease satisfies the terms of Section 12.4(c) above.

Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

In the case of any assignment or subleasing as to which Landlord may consent (other than a Permitted Transfer) such consent shall be upon the express and further condition, covenant and agreement, and Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that, in addition to the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges to be paid pursuant to this Lease, fifty percent (50%) of the “Assignment/Sublease Profits” (hereinafter defined), if any, shall be paid to Landlord. The “Assignment/Sublease Profits” shall be the excess, if any, of (a) the “Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues” as hereinafter defined over (b) the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and other charges provided in this Lease (provided, however, that for the purpose of calculating the Assignment/Sublease Profits in the case of a sublease, appropriate proportions in the applicable Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges under this Lease shall be made based on the percentage of the Premises subleased and on the terms of the sublease). The “Assignment/Sublease Net Revenues” shall be the fixed rent, Additional Rent and all other charges and sums payable either initially or over the term of the sublease or assignment plus all other profits and increases to be derived by Tenant for such subletting or assignment, less the reasonable costs of Tenant incurred in such subleasing or assignment (the definition of which shall be limited to brokerage commissions, legal fees, free rent, architect and engineer fees and alteration allowances, in each case actually paid), as set forth in a statement certified by an appropriate officer of Tenant and delivered to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the full execution of the sublease or assignment document, amortized over the term of the sublease or assignment.

All payments of the Assignment/Sublease Profits due Landlord shall be made within ten (10) days of receipt of same by Tenant.

12.7 Additional Conditions

(a) It shall be a condition of the validity of any assignment or subletting consented to under Section 12.4 above, or any Permitted Transfer, that both Tenant and the assignee or sublessee enter into a separate written instrument directly with Landlord in a form and containing terms and provisions reasonably required by Landlord, including, without limitation, the agreement of the assignee or sublessee to be bound directly to Landlord for all the obligations of Tenant under this Lease (including any amendments or extensions thereof), including, without limitation, the obligation (a) to pay the rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease (but in the case of a partial subletting pursuant to Section 12.5, such subtenant shall agree on a pro rata basis to be so bound) and (b) to comply with the provisions of Article XII hereof and (c) to indemnify the Landlord Parties as provided in Section 13.1 hereof. Such assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant named herein of any of the obligations of Tenant hereunder and Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable therefor and the liability of Tenant and such assignee (or subtenant, as the case may be) shall be joint and several. Further, and notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions hereof shall not constitute a recognition of the sublease or the subtenant thereunder, as the case may be, and at Landlord’s option, upon the termination or expiration of the Lease (whether such termination is based upon a cause beyond Tenant’s control, a default of Tenant, the agreement of Tenant and Landlord or any other reason), the sublease shall be terminated.

(b) As Additional Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a fee for Landlord’s review of any proposed assignment or sublease requested by Tenant and the preparation of any associated documentation in connection therewith, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an

(d) The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting under Section 12.4 above, or the consummation of an assignment or subletting of right under Section 12.5 above, shall in no way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting.

(e) Without limiting Tenant’s obligations under Article IX, Tenant shall be responsible (except in the event Landlord exercises its right under Section 12.3), at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for performing all work necessary to comply with Legal Requirements and Insurance Requirements in connection with any assignment or subletting hereunder including, without limitation, any work in connection with such assignment or subletting and the cost to make the Affected Portion a self-contained rental unit (including installing any required common corridors).

Landlord shall carry at all times during the Term of this Lease (a) commercial general liability insurance with respect to the Building, the Land and the Common Areas in an amount not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence, (b) with respect to the Building, excluding Tenant-Insured Improvements and alterations made by other tenants or occupants, insurance against loss or damage caused by any peril covered under fire, extended coverage and all risk insurance with coverage against vandalism, malicious mischief and such other insurable hazards and contingencies as are from time to time normally insured against by owners of similar first-class office/research/laboratory buildings in the Longwood/Fenway area or which are required by any Mortgagee, in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost thereof above foundation walls, and (c) rent interruption insurance covering at least twelve (12) months. Any and all such insurance (i) may be maintained under a blanket policy affecting other properties of Landlord and/or its affiliated business organizations, and (ii) may be written with commercially reasonable deductibles as determined by Landlord.

(b) Optional insurance. Landlord may maintain such additional insurance with respect to the Building and the Project as is consistent with the insurance maintained by Landlord or affiliates of Landlord for similar first-class office/research/laboratory buildings in the Longwood/Fenway area, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance, terrorism insurance, flood insurance, liability insurance and/or rent insurance, as Landlord may in its sole discretion elect. Landlord may also maintain such other insurance as may from time to time be required by the holder of any mortgage on the Building or the Project. The cost of all such additional insurance shall also be part of the Operating Expenses for the Building.

(c) No obligation. Landlord shall not be obligated to insure, and shall not assume any liability of risk of loss for, Tenant’s Property, including any such property or work of Tenant’s subtenants or occupants except (subject to Section 13.5) to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct. Landlord will also have no obligation to carry insurance against, nor be responsible for, any loss suffered by Tenant, subtenants or other occupants due to interruption of Tenant’s or any subtenant’s or occupant’s business

Article XIV
FIRE, CASUALTY AND TAKING

14.1 Damage

If the Premises are damaged in whole or part because of fire or other casualty (“Casualty”), or if the Premises are subject to a taking in connection with the exercise of any power of eminent domain, condemnation, or purchase under threat or in lieu thereof (any of the foregoing, a “Taking”), then unless this Lease is terminated in accordance with Section 14.2 below, Landlord shall restore the Building and/or the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately following completion of Landlord’s Work, or in the event of a partial Taking which affects the Building and the Premises, restore the remainder of the Building and the Premises not so Taken to substantially the same condition as is reasonably feasible. If, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, any element of the Tenant-Insured Improvements can more effectively be restored as an integral part of Landlord’s restoration of the Building or the Premises, such restoration shall also be made by Landlord, but at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Subject to rights of the holders of any mortgages, the lessors under any ground leases, Tenant Delays, Legal Requirements then in existence and to delays for adjustment of insurance proceeds or Taking awards, as the case may be, and instances of Force Majeure, Landlord shall substantially complete such restoration within fifteen (15) months after the Casualty or Taking with respect to substantial reconstruction of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Building, or, within two hundred seventy (270) days after the Casualty or Taking in the case of restoration of less than fifty percent (50%) of the Building. Upon substantial completion of such restoration by Landlord, Tenant shall use diligent efforts to complete restoration of the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Taking, as the case may be, as soon as reasonably possible. Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord in such manner as Landlord may reasonably request to assist Landlord in collecting insurance proceeds due in connection with any Casualty which affects the Premises or the Building. In no event shall Landlord be required to expend more than the Net (hereinafter defined) insurance proceeds Landlord receives for damage to the Premises and/or the Building or the Net Taking award attributable to the Premises and/or the Building. “Net” means the insurance proceeds or Taking award actually paid to Landlord (and not paid over to the holder of any mortgagee) less all costs and expenses, including reasonable adjusters and attorney’s fees, of obtaining the same. In the Operating Year in which a Casualty occurs, there shall be included in Operating Expenses Landlord’s deductible under its property insurance policy. Except as Landlord may elect pursuant to this Section 14.1, under no circumstances shall Landlord be required to repair any damage to, or make any repairs to or replacements of, any Tenant-Insured Improvements.

14.2 Termination Rights.

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

(i) any material portion of the Building or any material means of access thereto is taken;

64

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

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

(iii) if an uninsured Casualty occurs and the cost of the restoration of such uninsured Casualty is expected to exceed ten percent (10%) of the replacement cost of the Building; or

(iv) if the estimated time to complete restoration exceeds fifteen (15) months from the date of the Casualty, such termination notice, to be effective, must be received by Tenant on or before the date what is sixty (60) days after the Casualty or the Taking, as applicable.

(b) Tenant’s Termination Right. If Landlord is so required but fails to complete restoration of the Premises within the time frames and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 14.1 above, then Tenant may terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Landlord; provided, however, that if Landlord completes such restoration within thirty (30) days after receipt of any such termination notice, such termination notice shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. The remedies set forth in this Section 14.2(b) and in Section 14.2(c) below are Tenant’s sole and exclusive rights and remedies based upon Landlord’s failure to complete the restoration of the Premises as set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 14 if the Casualty was caused by the intentional misconduct of any Tenant Party.

(c) Either Party May Terminate. In the case of any Casualty or Taking affecting the Premises and occurring during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then (i) if such Casualty or Taking results in more than ten percent (10%) of the floor area of the laboratory area of the Premises or more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the floor area of the Premises being unsuitable for the Permitted Uses, or (ii) the damage to the Premises costs more than $250,000.00 to restore, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other which notice, to be effective, shall be given on or before the date which is sixty (60) days after the such Casualty or Taking. In addition, if Landlord’s Mortgagee does not release sufficient insurance proceeds to cover the cost of Landlord’s restoration obligations, then Landlord shall (i) notify Tenant thereof, and (ii) have the right to terminate this Lease on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after Landlord first learns of such insufficient insurance proceeds. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease pursuant to the previous sentence and such notice by Landlord does not include an agreement by Landlord to pay for the difference between the cost of such restoration and such released insurance proceeds, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14, in no event may Tenant elect to terminate this Lease hereunder if the Casualty that would otherwise give rise to such right results from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, contractors, or employees.

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

14.3 Rent Abatement

65

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

In the event of a Casualty affecting the Premises, there shall be an equitable adjustment of Fixed Rent, Operating Expenses and Taxes based upon the degree to which Tenant ‘s ability to conduct its business in the Premises is impaired by reason of such Casualty from and after the date of a Casualty, and continuing until the earlier to occur of:

(a) the date Tenant begins to conduct its business in the portion of the Premises impaired by reason of such Casualty; and

(b) the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days following the later of:

(i) substantial completion of any repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord within the Premises, and

(ii) substantial completion of any repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord with respect to the Common Areas to the extent that damage to the Common Areas caused by such Casualty materially adversely affects Tenant’s use of, or access to, the Premises.

14.4 Taking for Temporary Use

If the Premises are Taken for temporary use, this Lease and Tenant’s obligations, including without limitation the payment of Rent, shall continue. For purposes hereof, a “Taking for temporary use” shall mean a Taking of ninety (90) days or less.

14.5 Disposition of Awards

Except for any separate award for Tenant’s movable trade fixtures, relocation expenses, and unamortized leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant (provided that the same may not reduce Landlord’s award), all Taking awards to Landlord or Tenant shall be Landlord’s property without Tenant’s participation, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award. Tenant may pursue its own claim against the Taking authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning authority with respect to any Taking for temporary use, which award shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of the Rent falling due. Time is of the essence with respect to Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations under this Article XIV.

Article XV

15.1 Tenant’s Default

This Lease and the term of this Lease are subject to the limitation that Tenant shall be in default if, at any time during the Lease Term, any one or more of the following events (herein called an “Event of Default” a “default of Tenant” or similar reference) shall occur and not be cured prior to the expiration of the grace period (if any) herein provided, as follows:

(a) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the Annual Fixed Rent, or any Additional Rent or any other monetary amount due under this Lease on or before the date on which

66

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice from Landlord thereof; or

(b) Tenant shall, in accordance with Section 16.24, fail to (i) pay the Balance of the Cash Security Deposit, or (ii) deliver the Balance of the Letter of Credit, on or before the date on which the same becomes due, and, in either case, such failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Landlord thereof; or

(c) Landlord having rightfully given the notice specified in (a) above to Tenant twice in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall fail thereafter to pay the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other monetary amount due under this Lease on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable; or

(d) Tenant shall assign its interest in this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises in violation of the requirements of Article XII of this Lease; or

(e) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe some term or condition of this Lease which, because of its character, would immediately jeopardize Landlord’s interest (such as, but without limitation, failure to maintain general liability insurance, or the employment of labor and contractors within the Premises which interfere with Landlord’s Work, in violation of Sections 9.3 or 11.15 or Exhibit 2.1 or a failure to observe the requirements of Section 11.2), and such failure continues for three (3) business days after notice from Landlord to Tenant thereof; or

(f) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other requirement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease (not hereinabove in this Section 15.1 specifically referred to) on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, or if said default shall reasonably require longer than thirty (30) days to cure, if Tenant shall fail to commence to cure said default within thirty (30) days after notice thereof and/or fail to continuously prosecute the curing of the same to completion with due diligence; or

(g) The estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law; or

(h) Tenant shall make an assignment or trust mortgage arrangement, so-called, for the benefit of its creditors; or

(i) Tenant shall judicially be declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law; or

(j) a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or other similar officer is appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property by a court of competent jurisdiction; or

(k) any petition shall be filed against Tenant in any court, whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or of any State, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceeding, and such proceedings shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days after the institution of the same; or

67

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

(l) Tenant shall file any petition in any court, whether or not pursuant to any statute of the United States or any State, in any bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, extension, arrangement or insolvency proceeding; or

(m) Any default by Tenant which is expressly defined in this Lease as an “Event of Default”.

15.2 Termination; Re-Entry

Upon the happening of any one or more of the aforementioned Events of Default (notwithstanding any license of a former breach of covenant or waiver of the benefit hereof or consent in a former instance), Landlord or Landlord’s agents or servants may give to Tenant a notice (hereinafter called “notice of termination”) terminating this Lease on a date specified in such notice of termination (which shall be not less than five (5) days after the date of the mailing of such notice of termination), and this Lease and the Lease Term, as well as any and all of the right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder, shall wholly cease and expire on the date set forth in such notice of termination (Tenant hereby waiving any rights of redemption) in the same manner and with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally specified herein for the expiration of the Lease Term, and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord.

In addition or as an alternative to the giving of such notice of termination, Landlord or Landlord’s agents or servants may, by any suitable proceeding at law, immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Premises and remove therefrom Tenant, its agents, employees, servants, licensees, and any subtenants and other persons, and all or any of its or their property therefrom, and repossess and enjoy the Premises, together with all additions, alterations and improvements thereto; but, in any event under this Section 15.2, Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

The words “re-enter” and “re-entry” as used throughout this Article XV are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

15.3 Continued Liability; Re-Letting

If this Lease is terminated for an Event of Default or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as aforesaid, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re- entry, by or under any proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of an Event of Default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees forthwith to pay and be liable for, on the days originally fixed herein for the payment thereof, amounts equal to the several installments of Annual Fixed Rent, all Additional Rent and other charges reserved as they would, under the terms of this Lease, become due if this Lease had not been terminated or if Landlord had not entered or re-entered, as aforesaid, and whether the Premises be relet or remain vacant, in whole or in part, or for a period less than the remainder of the Lease Term, or for the whole thereof, but, in the event the Premises be relet by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the net amount of rent and other charges received by Landlord in reletting, after deduction of all reasonable expenses incurred in reletting the Premises (including, without limitation, remodeling costs, brokerage fees and the like), and in collecting the rent in connection therewith, in the following manner:

68

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

Amounts received by Landlord after reletting shall first be applied against such Landlord’s expenses, until the same are recovered, and until such recovery, Tenant shall pay, as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, the amount which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease (Tenant’s liability prior to any such reletting and such recovery not in any way to be diminished as a result of the fact that such reletting might be for a rent higher than the rent provided for in this Lease); when and if such expenses have been completely recovered, the amounts received from reletting by Landlord as have not previously been applied shall be credited against Tenant’s obligations as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, and only the net amount thereof shall be payable by Tenant. Further, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit of any kind for any period after the date when the term of this Lease is scheduled to expire according to its terms.

Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after Tenant vacates the same (or Landlord re-enters the Premises as aforesaid) in the event this Lease is terminated based upon an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder. The marketing of the Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlord’s control within the Laboratory Area shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord’s obligation to use “reasonable efforts” hereunder. In no event shall Landlord be required to (i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenant for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises (including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant), (ii) relet the Premises before leasing other vacant space in the Office Area, or (iii) lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar office space in the Office Area.

15.4 Liquidated Damages

Landlord may elect, as an alternative, to have Tenant pay liquidated damages, which election may be made by notice given to Tenant at any time after the termination of this Lease under Section 15.2, above, and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any damages as hereinbefore provided in this Article XV, and in lieu of all other such damages beyond the date of such notice. Upon such notice, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, in addition to any damages collected or due from Tenant from any period prior to such notice and all expenses which Landlord may have incurred with respect to the collection of such damages, such a sum as at the time of such notice represents the amount of the excess, if any, of (a) the discounted present value, at a discount rate of 6%, of the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have been payable by Tenant under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term if the Lease terms had been fully complied with by Tenant, over and above (b) the discounted present value, at a discount rate of 6%, of the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges that would be received by Landlord if the Premises were re-leased at the time of such notice for the remainder of the Lease Term at the fair market value (including provisions regarding periodic increases in Annual Fixed Rent if such are applicable) prevailing at the time of such notice as reasonably determined by Landlord.

For the purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay liquidated damages in accordance with this Section 15.4, the total rent shall be computed by assuming the Tenant’s Tax Share under Section 5.2 and Tenant’s Expense Share under Section 6.3 to be the same as were payable for the twelve (12) calendar months (or if less than twelve (12) calendar

69

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

months have been elapsed since the date hereof, the partial year) immediately preceding such termination of re-entry.

Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceeds in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

In lieu of any other damages or indemnity and in lieu of the recovery by Landlord of all sums payable under all the foregoing provisions of this Section 15.4, Landlord may elect to collect from Tenant, by notice to Tenant, at the time this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in this ARTICLE XV or otherwise terminated by breach of any obligation of Tenant and before such full recovery, and Tenant shall thereupon pay, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the sum of the Annual Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent payable for the twelve (12) months ended next prior to the such termination plus the amount of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent of any kind accrued and unpaid at the time of such election plus any and all expenses which Landlord may have incurred for and with respect to the collection of any of such rent. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, except for Tenant’s obligations under Section 11.17 (Hazardous Materials) and Section 16.18 (Holdover), in no event shall Landlord or Tenant be liable under this Lease for any consequential, indirect or special damages or lost profits.

15.5 Waiver of Redemption

Tenant, for itself and any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including its creditors, upon the termination of this Lease and of the term of this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of entry of judgment for the recovery of the possession of the Premises in any action or proceeding, or if Landlord shall enter the Premises by process of law or otherwise, hereby waives any right of redemption provided or permitted by any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force, and does hereby waive, surrender and give up all rights or privileges which it or they may or might have under and by reason of any present or future law or decision, to redeem the Premises or for a continuation of this Lease for the term of this Lease hereby demised after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law, or otherwise.

15.6 Landlord’s Default

Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days, or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default, after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation.

Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against Landlord from rent thereafter due and payable, but shall look solely to Landlord for satisfaction of such claim, except as set forth in Section 16.17.

15.7 Tenant’s Self-Help Right

70

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

If Landlord shall at any time fail to perform any Tenant Self-Help Obligation, as hereinafter defined, and should such failure continue beyond the applicable grace period set forth in this Section, Tenant may, but shall not be obligated so to do, after ten (10) days’ written notice (except that, in the case of emergency or imminent threat to the safety of occupants in the Premises or material property damage within the Premises, upon such shorter notice as may be reasonably practicable under the circumstances), to and demand upon Landlord explicitly setting forth the basis for Tenant’s claim of default and specifying that Tenant intends to invoke Tenant’s rights under this Section 15.7 (“Tenant’s Self Help Notice”), and without waiving, or releasing Landlord from, any obligations of Landlord in this Lease contained, perform such Tenant Self-Help Obligation in such manner and to such extent as may be reasonably necessary. For the purposes hereof, “Tenant Self-Help Obligations” shall be defined as any service, maintenance or repair obligation that Landlord is obligated to provide or perform pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, except for any service, maintenance or repair which (a) requires work outside of the Premises (except for components of systems which may be located outside of the Premises but which exclusively serve the Premises, provided that Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Section 15.7 will in no way affect Landlord’s operation of the Building or other tenants or occupants of the Building), or (b) might affect other tenants or occupants of the Building or the Project. All sums reasonably so incurred and paid by Tenant and all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of Tenant incidental to Tenant’s proper exercise of self help rights pursuant to this Section 15.7, together with interest thereon at the Lease Interest Rate from the date of the making of such expenditures by Tenant, shall be payable to the Tenant within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s furnishing Landlord an invoice therefor, accompanied by reasonable substantiation, and Landlord covenants to pay any such sum or sums with interest as aforesaid if not timely paid. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for the sums paid by Tenant within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s invoice (together with supporting documentation), and Landlord has not, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of such invoice, given written notice to Tenant objecting to such demand and stating that Landlord has filed suit in a court of competent jurisdiction to determine whether or not Tenant had validly exercised its self-help right hereunder (or if Landlord has timely disputed Tenant’s invoice, has filed suit and has thereafter failed to pay Tenant the amount of any final, unappealable award against Landlord within thirty (30) days after the issuance thereof) then Tenant shall have the right to offset the amount of such sums demanded by Tenant (together with any attorneys’ fees and costs to which Tenant may be entitled pursuant to Section 11.8 if there has been a final, unappealable award against Landlord) against fifty (50%) percent of the Annual Fixed Rent payable under this Lease until offset in full.

Article XVI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

16.1 Waiver

Failure on the part of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any action or non-action on the part of the other, no matter how long the same may continue, shall never be a waiver by Tenant or Landlord, respectively, of any of its rights hereunder.

Further, no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by Landlord or Tenant shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same

71

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

provisions. The consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant to or of any action by the other requiring such consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s or Tenant’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by the other.

No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated otherwise than as a payment on account. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant. Further, the acceptance by Landlord of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charges paid by Tenant under this Lease shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any default by Tenant, whether or not Landlord knows of such default, except for such defaults as to which such payment relates.

16.2 Cumulative Remedies

Except as expressly provided in this Lease, the specific remedies to which Landlord and Tenant may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress which they may be lawfully entitled to seek in case of any breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to seek specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed as a confession of judgment by Tenant.

16.3 Quiet Enjoyment

(a) This Lease is subject and subordinate to all matters of record as of the Effective Date. Landlord agrees that, upon Tenant’s paying the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges herein reserved, and performing and observing the covenants, conditions and agreements hereof upon the part of Tenant to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably hold and enjoy the Premises during the term of this Lease (exclusive of any period during which Tenant is holding over after the expiration or termination of this Lease without the consent of Landlord), without interruption or disturbance from Landlord or persons claiming through or under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease. This covenant shall be construed as running with the land to and against subsequent owners and successors in interest, and is not, nor shall it operate or be construed as, a personal covenant of Landlord, except to the extent of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, and this covenant and any and all other covenants of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and upon such subsequent owners or successors in interest of Landlord’s interest under this Lease, including ground or master lessees, to the extent of their respective interests, as and when they shall acquire same and then only for so long as they shall retain such interest.

(b) Landlord shall have the right to subdivide the Project, and to enter into, and subject the Project to the terms and conditions of, a reciprocal easement agreement (“REA”), provided that such subdivision and REA shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights or increase Tenant’s obligations hereunder. In connection with such subdivision, and REA, Tenant

72

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

shall, within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s written request, execute such commercially reasonable documents (which may be in recordable form) evidencing such subordination, consistent with the foregoing.

(c) Landlord shall have the right to establish a condominium (“Condominium”) and to subject the Project and this Lease to such Condominium, provided that such Condominium shall not materially adversely affect Tenant’s rights or increase Tenant’s obligations hereunder. In connection with the subordination of the Project and the Lease to such Condominium, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s written request, execute such commercially reasonable documents (which may be in recordable form) evidencing such subordination, consistent with the foregoing.

16.4 Surrender

(a) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall (i) peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises (including without limitation all fixed lab benches, fume hoods, electric, plumbing, heating and sprinkling systems, fixtures and outlets, vaults, paneling, molding, shelving, radiator enclosures, cork, rubber, linoleum and composition floors, ventilating, silencing, air conditioning and cooling equipment therein and all other furniture, fixtures, and equipment that was either provided by Landlord or paid for in whole or in part by any allowance provided to Tenant by Landlord under this Lease) broom clean, in good order, repair and condition excepting only ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other insured Casualty; (ii) remove all of Tenant’s Property, all autoclaves and cage washers and, to the extent specified by Landlord, Alterations made by Tenant; and (iii) repair any damages to the Premises or the Building caused by the installation or removal of Tenant’s Property and/or such Alterations. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 16.4(a) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

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

and (ii) shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord’s environmental consultant. In connection with review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional non-proprietary information concerning the use of and operations within the Premises as Landlord shall request. On or before the expiration of the Term (or within thirty (30) days after any earlier termination of this Lease, during which period Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises shall be governed by Section 16.18 below), Tenant shall (i) perform or cause to be performed all actions described in the approved Surrender Plan, and (ii) deliver to Landlord a certification from a third party certified industrial hygienist reasonably acceptable to Landlord certifying that the Premises do not contain any Hazardous Materials (an “Industrial Hygienist Certification”) and evidence that the approved Surrender Plan shall have been satisfactorily completed by a contractor acceptable to Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right, subject to reimbursement at Tenant’s expense as set forth below, to cause Landlord’s environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional procedures as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the expiration of the Term (or, if applicable, the date which is thirty (30) days after any earlier termination of this Lease), free of Hazardous Materials and otherwise available for unrestricted use and occupancy as aforesaid. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to deliver the Surrender Plan and any report by Landlord’s environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the Premises to third parties. Such third parties and the Landlord Parties shall be entitled to rely on the Surrender Report. If Tenant shall fail to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address the use of Hazardous Materials by any of the Tenant Parties in, on, at, under or about the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to take any such actions as Landlord may deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises and the Property are surrendered in the condition required hereunder, the cost of which actions shall be reimbursed by Tenant as Additional Rent upon demand. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 16.4(b) shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

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

(d) Subject to Section 9.5(c), Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove from the Premises, prior to the end of the Term, any item installed by or for Tenant and which, pursuant to Legal Requirements, must be removed therefrom before the Premises may be used by a subsequent tenant.

16.5 Brokerage

Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the brokers, person or firm designated in Section 1.2 hereof; and in the event any claim is made against Landlord relative to Tenant’s dealings with brokers other than the brokers designated in Section 1.2 hereof, Tenant shall defend the claim

against Landlord with counsel of Landlord’s selection and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the brokers, person or firm designated in Section 1.2 hereof; and in the event any claim is made against Tenant relative to Landlord’s dealings with brokers other than the brokers designated in Section 1.2 hereof, Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant and save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of actual loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to the brokers, person or firm designated in Section 1.2 hereof.

16.6 Invalidity of Particular Provisions

If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

16.7 Provisions Binding, etc.

The obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and except as herein otherwise provided, the terms hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant and, if Tenant shall be an individual, upon and to his/her heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Each term and each provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both a covenant and a condition. The reference contained to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to assignment by Tenant, but has reference only to those instances in which Landlord may have later given consent to a particular assignment as required by the provisions of Article XII hereof.

16.8 Recording; Confidentiality

Each of Landlord and Tenant agree not to record the within Lease, but each party hereto agrees, on the request of the other, to execute a so-called Notice of Lease or short form lease in form recordable and complying with applicable law and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord’s and Tenant’s attorneys. In no event shall such document set forth the rent or other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the provisions contained in this Lease, and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this Lease.

Tenant agrees that this Lease and the terms contained herein will be treated as strictly confidential and except as required by law (or except with the written consent of Landlord) Tenant shall not disclose the same to any third party except for Tenant’s partners, lenders, accountants and attorneys who have been advised of the confidentiality provisions contained herein and agree to be bound by the same. In the event Tenant is required by law to provide this Lease or disclose any of its terms, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of such requirement prior to making disclosure so that Landlord may seek an appropriate protective order. If failing the entry of a protective order Tenant is compelled to make disclosure, Tenant shall only disclose portions of the

75

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

Lease which Tenant is required to disclose and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the information so disclosed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, the provisions of this Section shall not prohibit any disclosures required by securities laws.

16.9 Notices and Time for Action

If intended for Landlord, addressed to Landlord at the address set forth on the first page of this lease, and copies in like fashion to:

Samuels & Associates, 136 Brookline Avenue, Boston, MA 02215, Attn: Legal Department (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Landlord by like notice).

If intended for Tenant, addressed to Tenant at the address set forth in Article I of this Lease except that from and after the Commencement Date the address of Tenant shall be the Premises (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Tenant by like notice).

Except as otherwise provided herein, all such notices shall be effective when received; provided, that (i) if receipt is refused, notice shall be effective upon the first occasion that such receipt is refused, (ii) if the notice is unable to be delivered due to a change of address of which no notice was given, notice shall be effective upon the date such delivery was attempted, (iii) if the notice address is a post office box number, notice shall be effective the day after such notice is sent as provided hereinabove or (iv) if the notice is to a foreign address, notice shall be effective two (2) days after such notice is sent as provided hereinabove.

Any notice given by an attorney on behalf of Landlord or by Landlord’s managing agent shall be considered as given by Landlord and shall be fully effective. The notice provisions of this Section are subject to the additional requirements of Section 16.14.

Time is of the essence with respect to any and all notices and periods for giving of notice or taking any action thereto under this Lease.

16.10 When Lease Becomes Binding and Authority

Employees or agents of Landlord have no authority to make or agree to make a lease or any other agreement or undertaking in connection herewith. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant.

76

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

All negotiations, considerations, representations and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and may be modified or altered only by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions hereof. Landlord and Tenant hereby represents and warrants to the other that all necessary action has been taken to enter this Lease and that the person signing this Lease on behalf of Landlord and Tenant has been duly authorized to do so.

16.11 Paragraph Headings

The paragraph headings throughout this instrument are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this Lease.

16.12 Rights of Mortgagee

This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage now or hereafter on the Building (or any part thereof) or on the fee interest (or any part thereof) held by Ground Lessor (as defined in Section 16.13 below), and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and all substitutions therefor, provided that the holder of such mortgage enters into subordination, non-disturbance and recognition agreement with Tenant, in the standard form used by such holder, with such commercially reasonable changes as Tenant may request (“SNDA”), which may include an acknowledgment of Tenant’s offset rights set forth in Exhibit 2.1. In the event that any mortgagee or its respective successor in title shall succeed to the interest of Landlord or Ground Lessor, as applicable, then this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall and does hereby agree to attorn to such mortgagee or successor and to recognize such mortgagee or successor as its landlord or ground lessor, as applicable. If any holder of a mortgage which includes the Premises, executed and recorded prior to the Date of this Lease, shall so elect, this Lease, and the rights of Tenant hereunder, shall be superior in right to the rights of such holder, with the same force and effect as if this Lease had been executed, delivered and recorded, or a statutory Notice hereof recorded, prior to the execution, delivery and recording of any such mortgage. The election of any such holder shall become effective upon either notice from such holder to Tenant in the same fashion as notices from Landlord to Tenant are to be given hereunder or by the recording in the appropriate registry or recorder’s office of an instrument in which such holder subordinates its rights under such mortgage to this Lease.

If in connection with obtaining financing a bank, insurance company, pension trust or other institutional lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or Tenant’s rights hereunder.

16.13 Rights of Ground Lessor

Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge that the Building is subject to that certain Second Amended and Restated Construction, Development and Lease Agreement dated May 29, 2020, by and between ARE-MA Region NO. 87 Owner Limited Partnership (“Ground Lessor”), as landlord, and Landlord, as tenant (the “Existing Ground Lease”), notice of which is recorded in

77

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds in Book 63127, Page 306 (the “Notice of Ground Lease”). On or about the date hereof, Landlord, Ground Lessor and Tenant shall enter into a Recognition Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 16.13. If (a) Landlord enters into a new ground lease or extends the term of the Existing Ground Lease, or (b) Landlord’s interest in property (whether land only or land and buildings) which includes the Premises is acquired by another party and simultaneously leased back to Landlord herein, the holder of the ground lessor’s interest in such ground lease shall enter into a recognition agreement with Tenant simultaneously with (x) the amendment to the Existing Ground Lease or the new ground lease, as the case may be, or (y) the sale and leaseback, wherein the ground lessor will agree to recognize the right of Tenant to use and occupy the Premises upon the payment of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease and the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and wherein Tenant shall agree to attorn to such ground lessor as its Landlord and to perform and observe all of the tenant obligations hereunder, in the event such ground lessor succeeds to the interest of Landlord hereunder under such ground lease. Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that the Permitted Use of the Premises as contemplated in this Lease is, and at all times during the Term, shall be, permitted and that the Permitted Use does not violate any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Existing Ground Lease or the limitations on the permitted uses set forth in the 121A Designation (as defined in the Existing Ground Lease) affecting the Land.

16.14 Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Lessor

After receiving notice from any person, firm or other entity that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord as ground lessee, which includes the Premises as a part of the leased premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such holder or ground lessor at the address as specified in said notice (as it may from time to time be changed), and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder or ground lessor within a reasonable time after such notice (including a commercially reasonable amount of time to be mutually agreed upon between Tenant and such holder in an SNDA to obtain possession of the premises if the curing of such default requires the mortgagee or ground lessor to do so) shall be treated as performance by Landlord. For the purposes of this Section 16.14, the term “mortgage” includes a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not one on Tenant’s leasehold interest). If any mortgage is listed on Exhibit 16.14 then the same shall constitute notice from the holder of such mortgage for the purposes of this Section 16.14.

16.15 Assignment of Rents

With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage or ground lease on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees:

(a) That the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage, or the ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder, or ground lessor, shall, acquire possession of the Building; and

78

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

(b) That, except as aforesaid, such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises, or, in the case of a ground lessor, the assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder by such ground lessor. In no event shall the acquisition of title to the Office Area and the land on which the same is located by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases the entire Office Area or such land back to the seller thereof be treated as an assumption, by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, and its successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lease to such purchaser provided that such purchaser-lessor agrees to recognize the right of Tenant to use and occupy the Premises upon the payment of rent and all other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease and the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. For all purposes, such seller-lessee, and its successors in title, shall be the landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord’s position shall have been assumed by such purchaser-lessor. Tenant acknowledges that it has been informed by Landlord that Landlord has entered into certain agreements with its lenders (“Lenders”) which require it to include in this Lease (and requires Tenant to include in any sublease which may be permitted hereunder) the following provisions: (i) no rent payable under this Lease or under any such sublease may be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Premises or any subleased premises except for percentage rent based on gross (not net) receipts or sales; (ii) if Lenders succeed to Landlord’s interests under this Lease and are advised by Lenders’ counsel that all or any portion of the rent payable under this Lease is or may be deemed to be unrelated business income within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of the 1986, as amended, or the regulations issued thereunder, Lenders may elect to amend unilaterally the calculation of rents under this Lease so that none of the rents payable to Lenders under this Lease will constitute unrelated business income, provided that such amendment will not increase Tenant’s payment obligations or other liability under this Lease or reduce Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; and (iii) if Lenders request, Tenant will be obligated to execute any document Lenders may deem necessary to effect the amendment of this Lease in accordance with the foregoing subsection (ii). Further, no Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent may be paid by Tenant more than thirty (30) days in advance except with Lenders’ prior written consent, and any such payment without such consent shall not be binding on Lenders.

16.16 Estoppel Certificate and Financial Statements

Recognizing that Landlord may find it necessary to establish to third parties, such as accountants, banks, potential or existing mortgagees, potential purchasers or the like, the then current status of performance hereunder, Tenant, within ten (10) business days after the request of Landlord made from time to time, will furnish to Landlord, or any existing or potential holder of any mortgage encumbering the Premises, the Office Area or the Project, or any potential purchaser of the Premises, the Office Area, or the Project (each an “Interested Party”) an estoppel certificate stating the status of any matter pertaining to this Lease reasonably requested, including, without limitation, acknowledgments that (or the extent to which) each party is in compliance with its obligations under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, or any Interested Party designated by Landlord, financial statements of Tenant, and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, as reasonably requested by Landlord including, but not

79

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

limited to, financial statements for the prior year. Any such status statement or financial statement delivered by Tenant pursuant to this Section 16.16 may be relied upon by any Interested Party.

16.17 Self-Help

If Tenant shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any act which Tenant is obligated to make or perform under this Lease within ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord (or such longer period of time as Tenant may reasonably require, so long as Tenant commences to cure such failure within such ten-(10)-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion), Landlord may (but shall not be required to do so) make or cause such payment to made or act to be performed and shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss or damage that may accrue to Tenant’s stock or business by reason thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in an emergency, Landlord may exercise its rights under the immediately preceding sentence without any prior notice to Tenant. No act taken or payment made by Landlord pursuant to this Section 16.17 shall be deemed to waive, or release, Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained. Landlord may exercise its rights under this Section 16.17 in such manner and to such extent as may be reasonably necessary, and, in exercising any such rights, pay any costs and expenses, employ counsel and incur and pay reasonable attorneys ‘ fees. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of Landlord incidental thereto, together with interest thereon at the annual rate equal to the Lease Interest Rate, as defined in Section 4.3, from the date of the making of such expenditures by Landlord, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent and, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, shall be payable to Landlord on demand, and if not promptly paid shall be added to any rent then due or thereafter becoming due under this Lease, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums with interest as aforesaid, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Annual Fixed Rent.

16.18 Holding Over

(a) Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the Term of this Lease shall be treated as a tenancy at sufferance and shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, as far as applicable except that Tenant shall pay as a daily use and occupancy charge in an amount equal to the greater of (x) the Hold Over Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent calculated (on a daily basis) at the rate payable as of the last day of the Term under the terms of this Lease or (y) the fair market rental value of the Premises. In addition, if such holdover continues for more than thirty (30) days, Tenant shall save Landlord, its agents and employees harmless and will exonerate, defend and indemnify Landlord, its agents and employees from and against any and all damages which Landlord may suffer on account of Tenant’s hold-over in the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the term of this Lease. Nothing in the foregoing nor any other term or provision of this Lease shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises or hold over in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. All property which remains in the Office Area or the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be conclusively deemed to be abandoned and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any part thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option against the expenses of the sale,

80

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

the cost of moving and storage, any arrears of rent or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease and at law and in equity. The “Hold Over Percentage” shall be (i) 150% for the first thirty (30) days of such holdover, (ii) 175% for the second thirty (30) days of such holdover, and (iii) 200% for any period of holdover after the first sixty (60) days.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Section 16.18(b), the failure of Tenant or any Tenant Party to perform all of its obligations under Section 16.4 above, shall be deemed to be a holdover by Tenant after the expiration of the Term of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (i) Tenant completes the Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, and delivers to Landlord the Industrial Hygienist Certification, but after the end of the Term it is discovered that there exist Hazardous Materials that have been introduced to the Building or the Land by any of the Tenant Parties, and (ii) the Premises are otherwise surrendered in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease on or prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, then

(i) the provisions of Section 16.18(a) shall not be applicable to the period of time after the expiration or earlier of termination of this Lease which is required for Landlord to finish decommissioning the Premises and obtain an Industrial Hygienist Certification, but (y) Tenant shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord to fully decommission the Premises and the Property in accordance with Section 16.4 above.

16.19 Entry by Landlord

Landlord, and its duly authorized representatives, shall, upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of emergency or for normal cleaning and maintenance operations), have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times (except at any time in the case of emergency) for the purposes of inspecting the condition of same and making such repairs, Alterations thereto as may be necessary if Tenant fails to do so as required hereunder (but Landlord shall have no duty whatsoever to make any such inspections, repairs, Alterations except as otherwise provided in Sections 4.1, 8.1 and 8.2 and Exhibit 2.1); provided, however, that (except in the case of emergency) Landlord shall provide prior notice to Tenant before entering any laboratory portions of the Premises, Landlord shall comply with all reasonable safety requirements and guidelines for access to such laboratory portions of the Premises and Tenant shall have the right to accompany Landlord during any such entry into the laboratory portions of the Premises, and to show the Premises to prospective tenants during the twelve (12) months preceding expiration of the term of this Lease as it may have been extended and at any reasonable time during the Lease Term to show the Premises to prospective purchasers and mortgagees.

16.20 Counterparts

This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

16.21 Entire Agreement

This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto, Landlord’s managing agent and their respective affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior dealings between them with respect to such subject matter, and there are

81

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

no verbal or collateral understandings, agreements, representations or warranties not expressly set forth in this Lease. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant, unless reduced to writing and signed by the party or parties to be charged therewith.

16.22 Limitations on Liability

(a) Landlord Liability. Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Building and Land and any sale, insurance or condemnation proceeds thereof (provided that Tenant’s right to reach insurance and condemnation proceeds shall be subordinate to Landlord’s right to use such proceeds for purposes of restoring the Building and the Project), and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability of Landlord under this Lease, it being specifically agreed that neither Landlord, nor any successor holder of Landlord’s interest hereunder, nor any beneficiary of any Trust of which any person from time to time holding Landlord’s interest is Trustee, nor any such Trustee, nor any member, manager, partner, director or stockholder nor Landlord’s managing agent shall ever be personally liable for any such liability. This paragraph shall not limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord’s successors-in-interest, or to take any other action which shall not involve the personal liability of Landlord, or of any successor holder of Landlord’s interest hereunder, or of any beneficiary of any trust of which any person from time to time holding Landlord’s interest is Trustee, or of any such Trustee, or of any manager, member, partner, director or stockholder of Landlord or of Landlord’s managing agent, to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in said Building or Land, as aforesaid, but in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease (except as expressly set forth herein) or to withhold rent or to set-off any claim or damages against rent as a result of any default by Landlord or breach by Landlord of its covenants or any warranties or promises hereunder, except in the case of a wrongful eviction of Tenant from the Premises (constructive or actual) by Landlord continuing after notice to Landlord thereof and a reasonable opportunity for Landlord to cure the same. In no event shall Landlord ever be liable for any indirect or consequential damages or loss of profits or the like. In the event that Landlord shall be determined to have wrongfully withheld any consent or approval under this Lease, the sole recourse and remedy of Tenant in respect thereof shall be to specifically enforce Landlord’s obligation to grant such consent or approval, and in no event shall Landlord be responsible for any damages of whatever nature in respect of its failure to give such consent or approval nor shall the same otherwise affect the obligations of Tenant under this Lease or act as any termination of this Lease.

(b) Tenant Liability. Landlord shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim against Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties for breach of this Lease or otherwise, other than against the assets and property of Tenant, the Cash Security Deposit and/or the Letter of Credit, and Landlord agrees to look solely to such assets and property and the Cash Security Deposit and/or the Letter of Credit for the satisfaction of any liability of Tenant or any Tenant Parties under this Lease. This Section 16.22 shall not limit any right that Landlord might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Tenant. Landlord and Tenant specifically agree that in no event shall any officer, director, trustee, employee or representative of Tenant or any of the other Tenant Parties ever be personally liable for any obligation under this Lease.

16.23 No Partnership

The relationship of the parties hereto is that of landlord and tenant and no partnership, joint venture or participation is hereby created.

16.24 Security Deposit

Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either (at Tenant’s election): (i) cash in the Security Deposit Amount, as set forth in Section 1.2 (the “Cash Security Deposit”), which shall be held by Landlord in accordance with Section 16.24(a) below, or (ii) an irrevocable, unconditional, and negotiable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in said Security Deposit Amount satisfying the requirements of this Section 16.24. Landlord shall hold either the Cash Security Deposit or the Letter of Credit, as the case may be, as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be performed under this Lease in accordance with this Section 16.24, throughout the Term of this Lease (including the Extended Term(s), if applicable), subject to reduction in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.24.

(a) Cash Security Deposit. If Tenant elects to deliver a Cash Security Deposit to Landlord: (i) Tenant shall, at the time of execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of the Security Deposit Amount, and (ii) Tenant shall pay the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Security Deposit Amount (“Balance of the Cash Security Deposit”) to Landlord on or before the date thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Landlord’s Estimated Delivery Date Notice, as defined in Section 1D(1) of Exhibit 2.1, to Tenant. Landlord shall hold the Cash Security Deposit, throughout the Term of this Lease (including any extension thereof), as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be performed. Landlord shall have the right from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to apply such deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages arising from any default on the part of Tenant that remains uncured after the expiration of all applicable notice and cure periods. If Landlord so applies all or any portion of such deposit, Tenant shall within seven (7) days after notice from Landlord deliver cash to Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore such deposit to the full amount stated in Section 1.2 (as the same may have been reduced pursuant to Section 16.24). Tenant not then being in default and having performed all of its obligations under this Lease, including the payment of all Annual Fixed Rent, Landlord shall return the deposit, or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this Section 16.24, to Tenant on or before the latest to occur of: (i) the end of the Term, (ii) the delivery by Tenant to Landlord of the Premises free and clear of all parties claiming under Tenant and in compliance with Section 16.4 of the Lease, and (iii) the satisfaction of all of Tenant’s obligations under Section 16.4 of the Lease. While Landlord holds such deposit, Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. If Landlord conveys Landlord’s interest under this Lease, the deposit, or any part thereof not previously applied, shall be turned over by Landlord to Landlord’s grantee for proper application of the deposit in accordance with the terms of this Section 16.24, and the return thereof in accordance herewith, and Landlord shall have no further liability therefor.

Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the landlord in a ground lease on property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such

deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such deposit shall have been received by such holder or ground lessor.

(b) Letter of Credit. If Tenant elects to deliver a Letter of Credit to Landlord: (i) Tenant shall, at the time of execution and delivery of this Lease to Landlord, deliver to Landlord a Letter of Credit satisfying the requirements of this Section 16.24 in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of the Security Deposit Amount (“Initial Letter of Credit”), and (ii) Tenant shall, on or before the date thirty (30) days after Landlord gives Landlord’s Estimated Delivery Date Notice, as defined in Section 1D(1) of Exhibit 2.1, to Tenant, deliver to either additional Letter of Credit satisfying the requirements of this Section 16.24 in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of the Security Deposit Amount, or an amendment to the Initial Letter of Credit, in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, increasing the amount of the Initial Letter of Credit to the full Security Deposit Amount (in either case, the “Balance of the Letter of Credit”). Any Letter of Credit provided by Tenant to Landlord shall (i) be issued by and drawn on a bank reasonably approved by Landlord and at a minimum having a long term issuer credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service of A or a comparable rating from Moody’s Professional Rating Service, (ii) be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 16.24, (iii) permit one or more draws thereunder to be made accompanied only by certification by Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent that pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord is entitled to draw upon such Letter of Credit, (iv) permit transfers at any time without charge to Landlord, (v) permit presentment in Boston, Massachusetts and (vi) provide that any notices to Landlord be sent to the notice address provided for Landlord in this Lease. If the credit rating for the issuer of such Letter of Credit falls below the standard set forth in (i) above or if the financial condition of such issuer changes in any other material adverse way or if any trustee, receiver or liquidator shall be appointed for the issuer, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant provide a substitute letter of credit that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section, and Tenant’s failure to provide the same within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor shall entitle Landlord to immediately draw upon the Letter of Credit. Any such Letter of Credit shall be for a term of two (2) years (or for one (1) year if the issuer thereof regularly and customarily only issues letters of credit for a maximum term of one (1) year) and shall in either case provide for automatic renewals through the date which is sixty (60) days subsequent to the scheduled expiration of this Lease (as the same may be extended). Any failure or refusal of the issuer to honor the Letter of Credit shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder with regard to the security deposit. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to draw on all or any portion of such deposit held as a Letter of Credit and to apply the proceeds of such Letter of Credit or any cash held as such deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages arising from such Event of Default on the part of Tenant under the terms of this Lease. If Landlord so applies all or any portion of such deposit, Tenant shall within seven (7) days after notice from Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore such deposit to the full amount stated in this Section 16.24. While Landlord holds any cash deposit Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. Neither the holder of a mortgage nor Landlord in a ground lease on property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such deposit shall have been received by such holder or ground Landlord.

Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

(c) Transfer of Letter of Credit. In the event that Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, Tenant shall upon notice from and at no cost to Landlord, deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit naming Landlord’s successor as the beneficiary thereof. If Tenant fails to deliver such amendment or replacement within ten (10) business days after written notice from Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to draw down the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof in accordance with this Section 26.14.

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

(e) Return of Security Deposit or Letter of Credit. Should Tenant comply with all of such terms, covenants and conditions and promptly pay all sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, the Security Deposit shall (less any portion thereof which may have been utilized by Landlord to cure any default or applied to any actual damage suffered by Landlord) be returned to Tenant within forty-five (45) days after the latest to occur of: (i) the end of the Term, (ii) the delivery by Tenant to Landlord of the Premises free and clear of all parties claiming under Tenant and in compliance with Section 16.4 of the Lease, and (iii) the satisfaction of all of Tenant’s obligations under Section 16.4.

(f) Reduction of the Cash Security Deposit and/or Letter of Credit.

(i) On the conditions (the “Reduction Conditions”) that as of the applicable Effective Reduction Date, as hereinafter defined: (x) Tenant is then in full compliance with its obligations under the Lease, and (y) there has been no Event of Default during the twelve- (12)-month period immediately preceding such Effective Reduction Date, as it may be delayed, as hereinafter set forth (“Prior Default Condition”), then the amount of the Cash Security Deposit/Letter of Credit may be reduced in accordance with the below-listed schedule:

Effective Reduction Date

Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

 

(ii) The reduction in the Security Deposit shall be accomplished as follows: (a) for a Cash Security Deposit, Tenant shall request such reduction in a written notice to Landlord (the “Reduction Notice”), and if the Reduction Conditions have been met, Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of such Reduction Notice, refund to Tenant a portion of the Cash Security Deposit which Landlord is then holding so that Landlord will be holding the reduced amount, as set forth above, and (b) for a Security Deposit in the form of a Letter of Credit, Tenant shall give a Reduction Notice to Landlord, and if the Reduction Conditions have been met, Landlord shall, within five (5) business days of its receipt of such Reduction Notice, so notify Tenant, whereupon Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either: (i) a substitute letter of credit (the “Substitute Letter of Credit”) in the applicable reduced amount, in form satisfying the requirements of this Section 16.24, or (ii) an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, reducing the amount of the existing Letter of Credit to the applicable reduced amount. If Tenant delivers to Landlord a Substitute Letter of Credit satisfying the foregoing requirements, as aforesaid, then Landlord shall exchange the existing Letter of Credit which Landlord is then holding for such Substitute Letter of Credit within five (5) business days after Landlord receives such Substitute Letter of Credit to Landlord. If Landlord declines to reduce the Security Deposit based upon the fact that any of the Reduction Conditions have not been satisfied, but Tenant subsequently satisfies the Reduction Conditions, then Tenant may submit a new Reduction Notice to Landlord for the reduction in the Security Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16.24. In such event, the Prior Default Condition shall be determined based on the twelve-(12)-month period immediately preceding the delayed Effective Reduction Date.

(iii) In no event shall the amount of the Cash Security Deposit or Letter of Credit held by Landlord ever be less than [***].

16.25 Governing Law

This Lease shall be governed exclusively by the provisions hereof and by the law of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as the same may from time to time exist.

16.26 Waiver of Trial by Jury

To induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either Landlord or Tenant on any matters whatsoever arising out of or any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, including but not limited to, any summary process eviction action.

16.27 Signage

Landlord shall provide building standard signage in the standard graphics for the Building listing Tenant on all internal non-electronic directory(ies) for the Premises. The initial listing of Tenant’s name shall be at Landlord’s expense. Any changes or additions to such directory(ies) shall be at Tenant’s cost and expense. Tenant may install signage identifying Tenant, which may

include Tenant’s corporate logo and colors, on the entrance door to the Premises and/or within the Premises, which signage shall be subject to Landlord’s approval.

16.28 Landlord’s Future Redevelopment/Changes

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord intends to undertake a redevelopment of the Project that may include, among other changes, the replacement of the existing garage with a subsurface parking facility and the replacement of some of the existing retail and/or common areas of the Project with new construction (the “Redevelopment”). Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:

(a) In connection with the Redevelopment:

(1) Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice prior to the commencement of the Redevelopment work.

(2) In carrying out any Redevelopment work, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any adverse effect upon, or interference with, the use and enjoyment by Tenant of the Premises.

(3) Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice of any work in connection with the Redevelopment planned in the immediate vicinity of the Premises or that will affect pedestrian access to the Premises or vehicular access to and from the Parking Facilities.

(4) At all times during the Redevelopment, Tenant shall have a reasonable means of access from a public street to the Premises and between the parking facilities in the Project to the Premises.

(5) At all times during the Redevelopment, Landlord shall provide parking within the Project, or in an offsite facility reasonably proximate to the Project, for not less than Tenant’s parking allocation.

(6) In connection with any installation, replacement or relocation of Project services, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and/or appurtenant fixtures, Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, and any such installations, replacements and relocations in or about the Premises shall be located so far as practicable above ceiling surfaces, below floor surfaces or within perimeter walls of the Premises.

(7) Throughout the Redevelopment, Landlord shall make available to Tenant a construction representative who is available on a 24-7 basis.

(b) Tenant acknowledges that the Project, and its mix of uses, may be altered, expanded, with facilities reduced or otherwise changed from time to time, and that Landlord reserves the right to modify the Project, to change the uses thereof, and to designate areas of the Project as Common Areas or common facilities, or as areas/facilities for the exclusive use of one or more occupants or one or more uses, all as more particularly set forth below.

87

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

(c) Landlord reserves for its benefit all rights of ownership and use in all respects outside the Premises, including without limitation, all structures and improvements and plazas and Common Areas and facilities in the Project. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood that in its sole discretion Landlord shall have the right to change and rearrange the Common Areas and facilities, to add to, change, relocate and eliminate such areas and facilities, to erect new buildings and structures thereon, to permit the use of or lease all or part thereof for exhibitions and displays, to sell, lease or dedicate all or part thereof to public use, and to configure the public and private roadways in the vicinity of the Project, subject to the issuance of necessary governmental approvals, which reconfigurations shall not be deemed to be eminent domain takings subject to the provisions of Article XIV of the Lease. Tenant’s rights under the Lease to use the Common Areas and facilities of the Project, and, if applicable, other areas outside the Premises, shall be subject to Landlord’s right to change or alter the same as set forth herein. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Landlord’s rights to change and rearrange the Common Areas and facilities of the Project pursuant to this Section 16.28(c) are subject to the following:

(1) Landlord shall not have the right to reduce or eliminate the showers or bicycle storage area or, except as expressly set forth in Section 2.2, the Roof Decks, to be provided by Landlord pursuant to Section 2.2, nor to eliminate the freight elevators or loading docks to be used by Tenant as set forth herein, but Landlord shall have the right to relocate the showers, bicycle storage area, freight elevators or loading docks to be used by Tenant within the Building;

(2) Landlord shall not have the right to reduce or suspend Tenant’s Parking Privileges except as expressly set forth in Article X;

(3) no such change or rearrangement shall materially adversely affect any of the utility services required to be provided by Landlord under the Lease or materially adversely affect any of the other services required to be provided by Landlord under this Lease; and

(4) no such change shall materially adversely interfere with Tenant’s access to and use of the Premises for the Permitted Use.

(d) Landlord reserves the right to add to, change or eliminate any services offered to the occupants of the Project from time to time; provided, however, that Landlord shall not change or eliminate any such services required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the Lease.

(e) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business arising from the exercise of Landlord’s rights hereunder. If Landlord is prevented or delayed from making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any services or performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on Landlord’s part under the Lease, by reason of any cause reasonably beyond Landlord’s control in connection with the exercise of its rights hereunder, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor, subject to Tenant’s rights pursuant to Section 7.11, shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate the Lease due to the exercise of Landlord’s rights hereunder, nor shall the same give rise

88

to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises. Without limitation of the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant seek injunctive or any similar relief, to stop, delay or modify the Redevelopment.

16.29 Rooftop Equipment

Subject to the terms of this Section 16.29, Tenant shall have the right to install, operate, maintain, repair and replace on the roof of the Office Area a satellite dish or antenna, and air conditioning equipment required for its operations in the Premises, together with access to use of available Office Area shafts, conduits and risers to connect to such equipment (collectively, the “Rooftop Equipment”). There shall be no additional charges or fees payable by Tenant in connection therewith. Tenant shall not install any Rooftop Equipment until Landlord shall have approved the size, location, weight and manner of attachment thereof, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant’s rights under this Section 16.29 shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, as well as the following additional conditions:

(1) Tenant shall be solely and exclusively responsible for all costs, expenses and charges, of every kind, of installing, operating, maintaining, repairing, replacing, and removing the Rooftop Equipment and, except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, Landlord shall have no liability or obligation in connection therewith. Tenant shall enter into a service contract with a contractor reasonably approved by Landlord for the installation, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement and removal of the Rooftop Equipment, which contract shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.

(2) If, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, any electrical, electromagnetic, radio frequency or other material interference shall result from the operation of any of the Rooftop Equipment, Tenant shall upon Landlord’s request shut down Tenant’s equipment upon twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Tenant, which notice may be electronic if given to Dr. Dimitris Papoutsakis at ***@*** or such other person as designed by Tenant in writing from time to time; provided, however, if an emergency situation exists, which Landlord reasonably determines in its good faith discretion to be attributable to the Rooftop Equipment, Landlord shall immediately notify Tenant verbally, who shall act immediately to remedy the emergency situation. Should Tenant fail to so remedy said emergency situation, Landlord may then act to shut down Tenant’s equipment. Tenant agrees to cease operations of the Rooftop Equipment (except for intermittent testing on a schedule approved by Landlord) until the interference has been corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. If such interference is caused by telecommunications equipment and has not been corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord within thirty (30) days, Landlord may require that Tenant immediately remove from the Roof the specific item of telecommunications equipment causing such interference.

(3) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at its sole risk, install, operate and maintain the Rooftop Equipment in a good and workmanlike manner, and in

89

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

compliance with all electric, communication, and safety codes, ordinances, standards, regulations and requirements, now in effect or hereafter promulgated, of the Federal Government, including, without limitation, the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) or any successor agency of either the FCC or FAA having jurisdiction over radio or telecommunications, and of the state, city and county in which the Office Area is located. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate generally with Landlord and other carriers to permit the Office Area’s rooftop to be and remain in compliance with all FCC and OSHA rules and regulations relating to radio frequency emission levels and maximum permissible exposure. Except to the extent resulting from Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct, neither Landlord nor its agents shall be liable to Tenant for any stoppages or shortages of electrical power furnished to the Rooftop Equipment or the roof area because of any act, omission or requirement of the public utility serving the Office Area, or the act or omission of any other tenant, invitee or licensee or their respective agents, employees or contractors, or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any rental abatement for any such stoppage or shortage of electrical power. Neither Landlord nor its agents shall have any responsibility or liability for the conduct or safety of any of Tenant’s representatives, repair, maintenance and engineering personnel while in or on any part of the Office Area or the roof area.

(4) Tenant shall be responsible for connecting the Rooftop Equipment to the Office Area’s utility systems and for the costs and expenses of all electricity consumed in connection with the Rooftop Equipment.

(5) Tenant shall not make any changes, alterations, or other improvements on or to the roof of the Office Area without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent, Landlord may withhold at its discretion; provided, however, in connection with the installation, operation, maintenance, repair or replacement of the Rooftop Equipment, Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(6) Tenant shall have no right of access to the roof of the Office Area unless Tenant has given Landlord reasonable advance notice and unless Tenant’s representatives are accompanied by a representative of Landlord. Landlord will make a representative available to Tenant (i) during Normal Business Hours upon reasonable advance notice and (ii) during emergencies, as soon as practicable (taking into account the circumstances) after receipt of a request from Tenant.

(7) At the expiration or prior termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove the Rooftop Equipment from the roof of the Office Area, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any damage to the roof of the Office Area caused by the installation or removal of the Rooftop Equipment or the exercise of Tenant’s rights under this Section 16.29.

90

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

(8) Tenant shall have no right to transfer or assign its rights under this Section 16.29, other than to a permitted assignee or sublessee of all or substantially all of the Premises.

(9) To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Rooftop Equipment and all other related installations shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and except to the extent caused by negligent acts or willful misconduct by Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in the event that the Rooftop Equipment or any related installations are damaged for any reason.

(10) Tenant shall comply with all Legal Requirement and Insurance Requirements in connection with Tenant’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this Section 16.29.

Landlord shall have the right not more than two (2) times during the Original Term and one (1) time during each Extension Term, if any, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant, to require Tenant to relocate the Rooftop Equipment to another area on the roof of the Office Area equally suitable for Tenant’s use. In such event, Tenant shall on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord gives such notice, relocate the Rooftop Equipment and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with said relocation and any resulting relocation of utility lines.

In addition to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Lease (which indemnification provisions shall be applicable to the use by Tenant of the Rooftop Equipment), except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees or contractors, Tenant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, losses, demands, actions or causes of actions suffered by any person, firm, corporation, or other entity to the extent that the same arises out of or results from Tenant’s use of the Rooftop Equipment and the rights granted to Tenant and the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Section 16.29.

16.30 Force Majeure

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

16.31 Landlord’s REIT Requirements

Tenant and Landlord intend that all amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord shall qualify as “rents from real property,” and will otherwise not constitute “unrelated business taxable income” or “impermissible tenant services income,” all within the meaning of Sections 512(b)(3)

91

 


Certain information indicated with [***] in this document has been omitted from this exhibit because it is both (i) not material and (ii) is the type that the registrant treats as private or confidential.

and 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”). In the event that Landlord determines that there is any risk that any amount payable under this Lease may not qualify as “rents from real property” or will otherwise constitute unrelated business taxable income or impermissible tenant services income within the meaning of Sections 512(b)(3) or 856(d) of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, Tenant agrees (a) to cooperate with Landlord by entering into such amendment or amendments as Landlord deems necessary to qualify all amounts payable under the Lease as “rents from real property” and (b) to permit (and, upon request, to acknowledge in writing) an assignment of the obligation to provide certain services under this Lease, and, upon request, to enter into direct agreements with the parties furnishing such services (which shall include but not be limited to a taxable REIT subsidiary of Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence (including acknowledging in writing an assignment of services pursuant thereto) if such action would result in (A) Tenant’s incurring more than de minimus additional liability under this Lease or (B) more than a de minimus negative change in the quality or level of Project operations or services rendered to Tenant under this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if Tenant does not acknowledge in writing an assignment as described in clause (b) above (it being agreed that Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such acknowledgment so long as the criteria in clauses (A) and (B) are satisfied), then Landlord shall not be released from liability under this Lease with respect to the services so assigned; and (ii) nothing in this Section shall limit or otherwise affect Landlord’s ability to assign its entire interest in this Lease to any party as part of a conveyance of Landlord’s ownership interest in the Project.
