In the event of (a) a decrease in the number of parking spaces on the Project or (b) a change in the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises and/or Leasable Square Footage of the Building, the number of parking spaces available for use by Tenants Invitees shall be adjusted proportionately.

Section 2.4 Lease Term.
(a) The Lease Term shall commence at 12:01 a.m. on the Commencement Date and shall end at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the seventh (7th) Lease Year. At the request of Landlord or Tenant made on or after the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant will execute a written amendment to, and restatement of, the Summary of Basic Terms pursuant to Section 2.7, setting forth the Commencement Date.
(b) Provided an Event of Default does not then exist, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Lease Term one period of 5 years by giving Landlord written notice of extension, which notice must be received by Landlord not earlier than 18 months, nor later than 12 months, prior to expiration of the Initial Term. If such extension becomes effective, the Lease Term shall be automatically extended upon the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Initial Term, except that (i) Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be as set forth in Section 4.1(b), and (ii) there shall be no further right to extend or renew the Lease Term beyond the Extension Term. The right of extension provided under this Section 2.4(b) is personal to Advantagene, Inc., d/b/a Candel Therapeutics (or its Permitted Transferee) and is not exercisable by any subtenant or other assignee permitted hereunder.
Section 2.5 Security Deposit.
(a) Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the Security Deposit, which shall be in the form of cash or a letter of credit which satisfies the conditions of Section 2.5(b) (Letter of Credit).
(b) The Letter of Credit must satisfy all of the following conditions: (i) the Letter of Credit must be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. or in such other substantially similar form as Landlord may approve, with an expiration date not less than one year after the date of the Letter of Credit; (ii) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit must be Landlord or Landlords designee; (iii) the Letter of Credit must be irrevocable, unconditional and transferable one or more times without charge to Landlord; (iv) the Letter of Credit must be issued by a bank satisfactory to Landlord in its reasonable discretion; and (v) the Letter of Credit must provide that it may be drawn at a location in Boston, Massachusetts. If, at any time, the issuer of the Letter of Credit gives notice of its election not to renew, extend and/or reissue the Letter of Credit, then Tenant shall, not later than 30 days prior to the expiration of the term of the Letter of Credit, deliver to Landlord (1) a replacement Letter of Credit satisfying all of the above conditions or (2) cash in the full amount of the expiring Letter of Credit; and if Tenant fails to timely deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit as provided above or cash in the full amount of the expiring Letter of Credit, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and, in addition to any other rights which Landlord might have by reason of such Event of Default, Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds of such drawing as the Security Deposit. If (x) Landlord shall reasonably feel insecure with the creditworthiness of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit and Tenant shall fail, within ten days after notice, to either provide a replacement Letter of Credit as provided above or cash in the full amount of the existing Letter of Credit, or (y) Tenant fails to provide Landlord with cash in the full amount of the Letter of Credit within ten days after (I) any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, receivership or any insolvency law are instituted with the issuer of the Letter of Credit as debtor or (II) the bank issuing the Letter of Credit is taken over by the Federal Deposit insurance Corporation, the Resolution Trust Corporation or a similar entity, then such failure by Tenant under clauses (x) or (y) of this sentence shall constitute an Event of Default and, in addition to any other rights which Landlord might have by reason of such Event of Default, Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds of such drawing as part of the Security Deposit.
(c) The Security Deposit is security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of Tenants obligations under this Lease and is not an advance payment of rent. If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent which is then due and payable or for any sum
6
which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, including, but not limited to, any damage or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord, including the costs of such proceeding or re-entry and further including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees. Landlord shall always have the right to apply the Security Deposit, or any part thereof, as aforesaid, without notice and without prejudice to any other remedy which Landlord may have, or Landlord may pursue any other such remedy in lieu of applying the Security Deposit or any part thereof. No interest shall be payable on the Security Deposit and Landlord shall have the right to commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord. If Landlord shall apply the Security Deposit in whole or in part, Tenant shall immediately upon demand pay to Landlord the amount so applied, or cause the Letter of Credit to be reinstated, to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Because elements of Additional Rent may be subject to annual reconciliation based on actual amounts determined to be due, in addition to the other rights provided herein to Landlord regarding the Security Deposit, Landlord shall have the right, in its discretion, upon the end of the Lease and delivery of the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof, to hold a portion of the Security Deposit until such reconciliation, at which time Landlord has the right to deduct any amounts then determined to be due from the remaining Security Deposit and return any balance of the Security Deposit to Tenant; provided that Landlord may not withhold from the Security Deposit an amount greater than the amount which Landlord reasonably estimates will be owing by Tenant upon completion of such reconciliation. If the remaining Security Deposit is not sufficient to pay Tenants obligations hereunder, Tenant shall pay the same within ten days of billing from Landlord. In the event of a sale or other transfer of the Project, or leasing of the entire Project including the Premises subject to Tenants tenancy hereunder, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit then remaining to the vendee or lessee, Landlord shall thereupon be released from all liability for the return of such Security Deposit to Tenant, and Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord for the return of the Security Deposit then remaining. Tenant will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit, and neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
Section 2.6 Right of First Offer.
(a) Grant of Right. Tenant shall have, and Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, a onetime right of first opportunity to lease in its entirety the 17,798 square foot portion of the Building adjacent to the Premises and shown on Exhibit D attached hereto (the ROFO Space) when it is or becomes available (but no earlier than September 30, 2020) for lease after the date of this Lease during the Lease Term, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.6. Landlord will not extend any existing lease for the ROFO Space, or enter into any lease of any of the ROFO Space with a tenant other than Tenant (a Third-Party Lease) unless and until Landlord has given to Tenant a Notice of Availability (as defined below) with respect to such ROFO Space and Tenant has failed to exercise its right to lease such ROFO Space pursuant to subsection (b) below.
(b) Notices of Availability. At any time during the Lease Term that any ROFO Space is, becomes or is about to become available for lease, Landlord may give written notice to Tenant of such availability (a Notice of Availability). Any such Notice of Availability shall specify the date on or about which such ROFO Space is expected to become available for lease (if it is not then available), the lease term which Landlord desires to offer (ROFO Space Term), the permitted use of the ROFO Space and Landlords determination of the ROFO Market Rent (as defined below) and such other terms which Landlord desires to specify that relate to the specific ROFO Space. Tenant shall not disclose to third parties, other than Tenants employees, consultants and other agents who have a need to know, the contents of any Notice of Availability, and Tenant shall cause all such employees, consultants or agents to respect the confidentiality of the contents thereof. Within ten (10) Business Days following Tenants receipt of a Notice of Availability, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant (i) accepts the terms offered in the Notice of Availability, in which case, Tenant shall be bound to lease the ROFO Space on the terms set forth in the Notice of Availability, and otherwise, subject to the provisions of this Lease, (ii) accepts the offer to lease the ROFO Space, but disputes Landlords determination of the ROFO Market Rent (a Disputed Acceptance), in which case, Tenant shall be bound to lease the ROFO Space at the ROFO Market Rent determined pursuant to Section 2.6(c), the other terms set forth in the Notice of Availability, and otherwise, subject to the provisions of the Lease, or (iii) declines to accept the terms offered in the Notice of Availability
7
or to accept the offer to lease the ROFO Space and dispute Landlords determination of the ROFO Market Rent; provided, further, that if Tenant does not respond in writing to Landlord within such ten (10) Business Day period, Tenant will be deemed to have made such declination described in the preceding clause (iii).
In addition, Tenants right to lease ROFO Space under this Section 2,6 shall apply only to the entire ROFO Space specified in a Notice of Availability, and Tenant shall not have the right under this Section 2,6 to lease less than all of such ROFO Space. For purposes of this Section 2.6, the term ROFO Market Rent means the then fair market rent on a triple-net basis per square foot for the ROFO Space taking into account the use thereof and may include escalations at various points during the ROFO Space Term.
(c) (i) In the event that Tenant timely sends a Disputed Acceptance to Landlord, then for a period of 15 days after Landlord receives the Disputed Acceptance (such period being called the ROFO Negotiation Period), Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to agree upon the ROFO Market Rent, and, in the course of such negotiations, each party may from time to time submit modified proposals to the other. If the parties agree upon the ROFO Market Rent prior to the determination of the arbitrator pursuant to Section 2.6(c)(ii), whether such agreement is reached during or after the ROFO Negotiation Period, the ROFO Market Rent shall be as so agreed.
(ii) If the parties are unable to agree upon the ROFO Market Rent within the ROFO Negotiation Period, then each party shall, upon selection of an arbitrator pursuant to Section 2.6(c)(iii), simultaneously submit to the arbitrator for binding arbitration a proposal as to the ROFO Market Rent. The ROFO Market Rent shall be determined as of the commencement of the ROFO Space Term at the then current arms-length negotiated base rents being charged for comparable space and permitted use to the ROFO Space as specified in the Notice of Availability in comparable buildings located in the market area of the Project, taking into consideration all relevant factors set forth in the Notice of Availability; provided, that the arbitrator shall not have the right to modify any provision of the Lease except Base Rent. Within 30 days after both parties have submitted such proposals to the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall select one of the proposals as more closely approximating the ROFO Market Rent appropriate for the ROFO Space Term, and, unless the parties have then agreed upon the ROFO Market Rent, the proposed ROFO Market Rent set forth in such proposal selected by the arbitrator shall be deemed to be the ROFO Market Rent.
(iii) If the parties are unable to agree upon the ROFO Market Rent within the ROFO Negotiation Period, then the parties shall, within 15 days after the end of the ROFO Negotiation Period (such 15 day period being herein called the ROFO Selection Period), attempt to agree upon an arbitrator to whom to submit the determination of ROFO Market Rent for binding arbitration pursuant to Section 2.6(c)(ii). If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within the ROFO Selection Period, then, at the end of the ROFO Selection Period, each party shall select an arbitrator and, within 15 days after the end of the ROFO Selection Period, the arbitrators shall agree upon an arbitrator to whom the determination of ROFO Market Rent shall be submitted for binding arbitration pursuant to Section 2.6(c)(ii). If such arbitrators are unable to agree promptly upon an arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. Any arbitrator selected by either party, by the arbitrators selected by the parties or by the American Arbitration Association shall be independent of both parties and shall have such experience, either as a licensed real estate broker or as an appraiser for at least ten years, as would qualify such arbitrator as an expert with respect to leasing terms in the market area of the Project. Such arbitrator shall make the determination required pursuant to Section 2.6(c)(ii) within 30 days after selection. The parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrator to whom the determination of ROFO Market Rent is submitted. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fee of the arbitrator selected by it.
(d) Addition of Space to Lease. If Tenant exercises its right to lease any ROFO Space pursuant to subsection (b) above, then, as of the date specified in the Notice of Availability, such ROFO Space shall be added to and become a part of the Premises and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease; provided that (x) Landlord shall not be responsible for making any improvements or alterations to such ROFO Space or providing any improvement allowance with respect thereto, except to the extent provided for in the Notice of Availability; (y) the effective rent (including Base Rent and Additional Rent, if applicable) for the ROFO Space shall be the effective rent set forth in the Notice of Availability or, if Tenant
8
timely submits a Disputed Acceptance, as determined by the process set forth in subsection (c) above, and (z) the terms and conditions of this Lease with respect to such ROFO Space shall be modified by any terms agreed by the parties. Promptly after Tenant exercises its right to lease any ROFO Space pursuant to subsection (b) above or, if Tenant timely submits a Disputed Acceptance, after the ROFO Market Rent is determined pursuant to subsection (c) above, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease incorporating such ROFO Space as part of the Premises, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease and incorporating any additional terms agreed by the parties.
(e) Lapse of Right. If Landlord gives a Notice of Availability and does not receive Tenants notice of exercise pursuant to subsection (b) above within the period specified therein or if Tenant leases the ROFO Space as provided herein, Tenants right of first opportunity provided for in this Section 2.6 shall lapse with respect to all other space and Landlord shall be free to lease such space to third parties without complying with this Section 2.6.
(f) Termination of Right Tenants right of first opportunity provided for in this Section 2.6 shall terminate twelve (12) months before the expiration of the Initial Term, unless Tenant timely exercises its extension option pursuant to Section 2.4(b), and, if Tenant timely exercises such extension option, twelve (12) months before the expiration of the Extension Term.
(g) Rights Personal to Party Executing this Lease. The rights in this Section 2.6 are personal to Advantagene, Inc., d/b/a Candel Therapeutics, and are not assignable or transferable other than to a Permitted Transferee. Tenants rights under this Section 2.6 will lapse and be of no further force and effect upon any assignment of this Lease other than to a Permitted Transferee.
(h) Event of Default. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Landlord shall have no obligation to give any Notice of Availability to Tenant, and Tenant shall have no rights under this Section 2.6 if an Event of Default exists on the date on which Tenant attempts to exercise its right to lease any ROFO Space.
Section 2.7 Lease Amendment. If, pursuant to any provision of this Lease, there results a change in (or, in the case of the Commencement Date, the confirmation of) any of the terms or amounts in the Summary of Basic Terms (including, without limitation, the Leasable Square Footage of the Building, the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, Base Rent, or Tenants Share) then in effect, Landlord and Tenant will promptly execute a written amendment to, and restatement of, the Summary of Basic Terms, substituting the changed (or confirmed) terms and recomputed amounts in lieu of each of the applicable terms and amounts then in effect which have been changed. As of the effective date of the amendment to the Summary of Basic Terms, the changed terms (and recomputed amounts) will be effective for all purposes of this Lease, and the amended and restated Summary of Basic Terms will be a part of, and incorporated into, this Lease.

(b) (i) The Base Rent per square foot for the Extension Term will be at a rate equal to 95% of the then fair market rent on a triple-net basis per square foot for the Premises and may include escalations at various points during the Extension Term (the Market Rent), determined in accordance with this Section 4.1(b). For a period of 30 days after Tenant gives to Landlord written notice of exercise of the extension option pursuant to Section 2.4(b) (such period being called the Negotiation Period). Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to agree upon the Market Rent, and, in the course of such negotiations, each party may from time to time submit modified proposals to the other. If the parties agree upon the Market Rent prior to the determination of the arbitrator pursuant to Section 4.1 (b)(ii), whether such agreement is reached during or after the Negotiation Period, the Market Rent shall be as so agreed.
(ii) If the parties are unable to agree upon the Market Rent within the Negotiation Period, then each party shall, upon selection of an arbitrator pursuant to Section 4.1 (b)(iii), simultaneously submit to the arbitrator for binding arbitration a proposal as to the Market Rent. The Market Rent shall be determined as of the commencement of the Extension Term at the then current arms-length negotiated base rents being charged for comparable space in comparable buildings located in the market area of the Project, taking into consideration all relevant factors. The arbitrator shall not have the right to modify any provision of the Lease except Base Rent. Within 30 days after both parties have submitted such proposals to the arbitrator, the arbitrator shall select one of the proposals as more closely approximating the Market Rent appropriate for the Extension Term, and, unless the parties have then agreed upon the Market Rent, the proposed Market Rent set forth in such proposal selected by the arbitrator shall be deemed to be the Market Rent.
(iii) If the parties are unable to agree upon the Market Rent within the Negotiation Period, then the parties shall, within 15 days after the end of the Negotiation Period (such 15 day period being herein called the Selection Period), attempt to agree upon an arbitrator to whom to submit the determination of Market Rent for binding arbitration pursuant to Section 4.1 (b)(ii). If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within the Selection Period, then, at the end of the Selection Period, each party shall select an arbitrator and, within 15 days after the end of the Selection Period, the arbitrators shall agree upon an arbitrator to whom the determination of Market Rent shall be submitted for binding arbitration pursuant to Section 4.1 (b)(ii). If such arbitrators are unable to agree promptly upon an arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association. Any arbitrator selected by either party, by the arbitrators selected by the parties or by the American Arbitration Association shall be independent of both parties and shall have such experience, either as a licensed real estate broker or as
11
an appraiser for at least ten years, as would qualify such arbitrator as an expert with respect to leasing terms in the market area of the Project. Such arbitrator shall make the determination required pursuant to Section 4.1 (b)(ii) within 30 days after selection. The parties shall share equally the fees and expenses of the arbitrator to whom the determination of Market Rent is submitted. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay the fee of the arbitrator selected by it.
(c) Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments of one-twelfth of the annual Base Rent then in effect and shall be paid without offset for any reason, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term. If the Commencement Date is not on the first day of a calendar month, Tenant shall pay, on or before the Commencement Date, a proportionate part of the Base Rent for the month in which the Commencement Date occurs based upon the annual Base Rent then in effect, divided by 360 and then multiplied by the number of days from and including the Commencement Date through and including the last day of such month. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid by an electronic funds transfer system arranged by and among Tenant, Tenants bank and Landlord by Tenant submitting to Landlord a completed electronic transfer form as set forth in Exhibit H.

Section 4.2 Certain Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay, without offset for any reason, all payments of Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder as and when required by Sections 4.3 through 4.6 and as otherwise set forth in this Lease.

The obligations owing by Tenant under this Section are rent reserved under this Lease, for all purposes hereunder, and are rent reserved within the meaning of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor provision thereto.
Section 4.3 Taxes.
(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenants Share of Taxes. Such amounts shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end of each Tax Fiscal Year (based on the most recent tax data available to Landlord), and shall be payable to Landlord in equal estimated monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term, subject to readjustment when the actual amount of Taxes is determined. After readjustment, any shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within 30 days of demand by Landlord and any excess shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred, be credited against future Additional Rent obligations, or refunded if the Lease Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord. If the taxing authority provides an estimated tax bill, then monthly installments of Taxes shall be based thereon until the final tax bill is ascertained.
(b) If, after Tenant shall have made any payment under this Section, Landlord shall receive a refund (the Refund) of any portion of the Taxes paid on account of any Tax Fiscal Year in which such payments shall have been made as a result of an abatement of such Taxes, by final determination of legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise, Landlord shall, within 30 days after receiving the Refund, pay to Tenant (unless an Event of Default then exists) an amount equal to (i) Tenants Share of the Refund, which payment to Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted if Tenants Tax Share covered a shorter period than covered by the Refund; provided, however, that payments withheld from Tenant under this section because of an existing Event of Default, shall be remitted to Tenant promptly after such Event of Default is cured by Tenant and accepted by Landlord; (ii) less Tenants Share of all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such proceedings (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees, costs and appraisers fees) to the extent such expenses have not been previously paid by Tenant as Taxes hereunder. Landlord shall have sole control of all such proceedings.
(c) If the Commencement Date of this Lease is not on July 1, or the expiration or termination of this Lease is not on June 30, Tenants obligation in respect of Taxes shall be prorated. If the final tax bill for the Tax Fiscal Year in which such expiration or termination of this Lease occurs shall not have been received by Landlord, then within 30 days after the receipt of the tax bill for such Tax Fiscal Year, Landlord and Tenant shall make appropriate adjustments of estimated payments.
12
(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall pay all rent and personal property taxes attributable to its signs or any other personal property including but not limited to its trade fixtures, the existing or any future floor coverings, wall treatments and light fixtures in the Premises.
Section 4.4 Insurance Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, an amount equal to Tenants Share of Insurance Costs. Tenants Share of Insurance Costs shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end of each calendar year based on the most recent cost data available to Landlord, and shall be payable in equal estimated monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term, subject to readjustment from time to time as determined by Landlord and also when actual Insurance Costs are determined. After a readjustment, any shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within 30 days of demand by Landlord and any excess shall, unless an Event of Default then exists, be credited against future Additional Rent obligations, or refunded promptly if the Lease Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord, provided, however, that payments withheld from Tenant under this section because of an existing Event of Default, shall be remitted to Tenant promptly after such Event of Default is cured by Tenant. Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable supporting documentation for the Insurance Costs for the prior calendar year within six months after the end of the calendar year to which such Insurance Costs relate.
Section 4.5 Operating Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, amounts equal to Tenants Share of Operating Costs. For purposes of determining Tenants Share of Operating Costs, for any calendar year during which the Building is less than 95% occupied, the Operating Costs shall be equitably adjusted, on an item-by-item basis, for such calendar year to reflect the amount which, in Landlords good faith reasonable judgment exercised on a consistent basis from year to year, the Operating Costs would have been if the Building had been 95% occupied during the entire calendar year. Tenants Share of Operating Costs shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end of each calendar year based on the most recent cost data available to Landlord, and shall be payable in equal estimated monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term, subject to readjustment from time to time as determined by Landlord and also when actual Operating Costs are determined. After a readjustment, any shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within 30 days of demand by Landlord and any excess shall, unless an Event of Default has occurred, be credited against future Additional Rent obligations, or refunded promptly if the Lease Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligations to Landlord. Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable supporting documentation for the Operating Costs for the prior calendar year within six months after the end of the calendar year to which such Operating Costs relate.
Section 4.6 Payment for Electricity. The Premises shall be separately metered or check-metered by Landlord (at Landlords expense) for electrical use for lights and plugs (exclusive of electricity for heating, ventilating and air conditioning to the extent subject to the provisions of the following paragraph). Tenant shall promptly pay all charges related to its use of electricity for lights and plugs (exclusive of electricity for heating, ventilating and air conditioning to the extent subject to the provisions of the following paragraph), (i) to the appropriate public utility if the Premises are separately metered, or (ii) to Landlord within thirty (30) days of being invoiced therefor if the Premises are check-metered To the extent that the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system serving the Premises is operated and powered by electricity that is measured by a separate meter that also measures the electrical consumption used to operate and power the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system serving other tenants premises in the Building, then within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord therefor, Tenant shall pay its share of the cost of electricity measured by such meter on the basis of the ratio of the floor area of the Premises to the total floor area served by the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system operated and powered by such separate meter.
Section 4.7 Tenants Audit Rights . Annually, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a report setting forth in reasonable detail the Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and Taxes for the immediately preceding calendar year (in the case of Operating Costs and Insurance Costs) or Tax Fiscal Year (in the case of
13
Taxes). Tenant shall have the right to audit Landlords books and records relating to Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and/or Taxes with respect to the period covered by each such report provided and on the condition that Tenant delivers a written notice of its intention to perform such audit to Landlord not later than ninety (90) days after receipt of such report (such ninety day period being called the Audit Period), time being of the essence. If, as a result of such audit, Tenant believes that it is entitled to receive a refund of any Additional Rent paid by Tenant in respect of Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and/or Taxes, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, no later than 30 days after expiration of the Audit Period, a notice demanding such a refund, together with a statement of the grounds for each such demand and the amount of each proposed refund. The cost of any such audit shall be paid by Tenant, except that, if it is established that the Additional Rent in respect of Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and Taxes charged to Tenant for the period in question was overstated by more than 5%, the reasonable out-of-pocket cost of such audit paid to a third party other than an employee of Tenant, up to a maximum of $5,000, shall be paid or reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord. An overstatement shall not be deemed to exist due to a Refund provided timely by Landlord to Tenant. Any audit shall be performed by either (a) Tenants regular employees or (b) a reputable certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Landlord whose compensation is not directly or indirectly, contingent in whole or in part on the results of the audit. If, after reasonable investigation, Landlord determines that a report previously furnished by Landlord was in error, Landlord may (but shall if such error resulted in a prior overstatement of Operating Costs, Insurance Costs and/or Taxes) furnish a corrective or supplemental report to Tenant within one year after the original report was furnished, and if such corrective or supplemental report results in increased Additional Rent, the Audit Period for the year covered by such report shall be extended for six months after Landlord furnishes the corrective or supplemental report.

The term available proceeds shall mean the amount of the award paid to Landlord, less cost of obtaining the same (including attorneys fees and appraisal fees) and less the amount thereof required to be paid to a mortgagee or ground lessor. In the event Landlord fails to commence restoration of the Project and/or the Premises within 60 days after the taking, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease upon 60 days prior written notice to Landlord.
Section 11.3 Landlord to Control Eminent Domain Action.

The marketing of the Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlords control within the Building shall be deemed to have
29
satisfied Landlords 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 Building, or (iii) lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar office space in the Building. The good faith failure of Landlord to re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, or, if the Premises are re-let, the good faith failure to collect the rents due under such re-letting, shall not release or affect Tenants liability for damage so long as Landlord does not act arbitrarily or capriciously. Any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month or other period shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month or period by a similar proceeding. Landlord, at Landlords option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and decorations on the Premises as Landlord in Landlords sole but good faith business judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the Premises, and the making of such alterations or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder.
(c) If, pursuant to Section 12.2(a), Landlord terminates this Lease, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord as damages, in addition to all sums which were due prior to the date of such termination, a sum equal to the amount by which the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term exceeds the fair rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term, discounted to present value using a then market rate of interest as reasonably determined by Landlord. For the purposes of computing damages payable pursuant to this Section 12.2(c), the Additional Rent with respect to Taxes, Insurance Costs and Operating Costs for the remainder of the Lease Term will be assumed to be the product of such Additional Rent for the most recently ended fiscal, calendar or lease year, as the case may be, times the number of years remaining of the Lease Term. For the purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay liquidated damages in accordance with this Section 12.2 the total rent shall be computed by assuming the Tenants Share of Taxes, Operating Expenses and Insurance Costs under this Lease to be the same as were payable for the twelve (12) calendar months (or if less than twelve (12) calendar months have been elapsed since the date hereof, the partial year) immediately preceding such termination of re-entry.
(d) Tenant shall be responsible to Landlord for all expenses which Landlord may incur in connection with the enforcement of Landlords rights after an Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable legal expenses, attorneys fees, brokerage fees, reasonable decommissioning costs and expenses and the cost of putting the Premises in good order or preparing the same for rental.
(e) 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.
Section 12.3 Reimbursement of Landlord. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant will, in addition to paying Landlord all amounts due under the terms and provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section 12.9, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in collecting such rent or in obtaining possession of, or in re-letting the Premises, or in defending any action, including expenses for reasonable counsel fees and commissions. If on termination of this Lease by expiration or otherwise, Tenant shall fail to remove any of its property from the Premises as provided for herein, Landlord shall be authorized, in its sole option, and in Tenants name and on its behalf, either (a) to cause such property to be removed and placed in storage for the account and at the expense of Tenant; or (b) to sell such property at public or private sale, with or without notice, and to apply the proceeds thereof, after the payment of all expenses of removal, storage and sale, to the indebtedness, if any, of Tenant to Landlord, the surplus, if any, to be paid to Tenant. All sums payable by Tenant under this Article XII shall be deemed Additional Rent.
30
Section 12.4 Landlords Right to Perform Tenants Covenants. If Tenant shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, Landlord, in its sole discretion may after due notice to, or demand upon, Tenant, make any payment or perform any other act on the part of Tenant to be made and performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys fees. The making of any such payment or the performing of any other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, 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 the Base Rent. Whenever practicable, Landlord, before proceeding as provided in this Section 12.4, shall give Tenant notice in writing of the failure of Tenant which Landlord proposes to remedy, and shall allow Tenant such length of time as may be reasonable in the circumstances, consistent with any grace periods contained herein, but not exceeding ten days from the giving of notice, to remedy the failure itself and, if Tenant shall not remedy the failure in the time so allowed, Landlord shall be deemed to have given due notice and may proceed as provided in this Section 12.4; provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from acting without notice to Tenant in case of any emergency wherein there is danger to property or person or where there may exist any violation of Legal Requirements including but not limited to the presence of Hazardous Materials, in which event no notice shall be required.
Section 12.5 Cumulative Remedies. The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease, or under the provisions of applicable law, are cumulative and not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease or to exercise any option contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of such covenant or option. Receipt by Landlord of any Base Rent or Additional Rent payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenants hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by it. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to restraint by injunction of any violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease.
Section 12.6 Expenses of Enforcement. Tenant shall pay all reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Landlord in enforcing any obligation or any remedies hereunder including, without limitation, in connection with collection of Base Rent or Additional Rent, recovery by Landlord of the Premises, or in any litigation in which Landlord shall become involved by reason of any act or negligence of Tenants Invitees or any breach of this Lease by Tenant. Landlord shall pay ail reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Tenant in enforcing any obligation or any remedies hereunder including any litigation in which Tenant shall become involved by reason of any act or negligence of Landlord or any breach of this Lease by Landlord.
Section 12.7 Landlords Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder unless such default shall remain uncured for more than 30 days following written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of such default, or such longer period as may be reasonably required to correct such default. Landlords liability to keep, maintain, and repair shall always be limited to the cost of making such repair or accomplishing such maintenance or repair. In no event whatsoever shall Landlord be liable for consequential or any indirect damages. The provisions of this Section 12.7 are further subject to the provisions of Articles X and XI dealing with eminent domain and fire and other casualty, and Section 6.3 dealing with interruption of services. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of
31
Tenant hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements, that the obligations of Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation the obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent and other sums due hereunder, shall continue unaffected, unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall have been terminated or abated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledges and agrees that the independent nature of the obligations of Tenant hereunder represents fair, reasonable, and accepted commercial practice with respect to the type of property subject to this Lease.
Section 12.8 Limitation of Landlords Liability. The obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be binding upon Landlord and each succeeding owner of Landlords interest hereunder only during the period of such ownership, and Landlord and each succeeding owner shall have no liability whatsoever except for its obligations during each such respective period. Tenant agrees for itself and each succeeding holder of Tenants interest, or any portion thereof, hereunder, that any judgment, decree or award obtained against Landlord or any succeeding owner of Landlords interest, which is in any manner related to this Lease, the Premises or Tenants use and occupancy of the Premises or the Common Areas, or the remainder of the Project, whether at law or in equity, shall be satisfied out of Landlords equity in the land and buildings then comprising the Project to the extent then owned by Landlord and such succeeding owner, and further agrees to look only to such assets (or proceeds thereof) and to no other assets of Landlord, or such succeeding owner, for satisfaction. Neither Landlord nor any Person executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord, nor any partner, limited or general, or any officer, director, employee, member, trustee, beneficiary, or owner of Landlord, nor any subsequent Landlord, or any partner, limited or general, or any officer, director, employee, member, trustee, beneficiary, or owner of any subsequent Landlord shall have any personal liability hereunder. The remedies provided to Tenant in this Lease are exclusive, and Landlord will not be liable under any theory of recovery, whether based on contract, tort or otherwise.
Section 12.9 Late Payment and Administrative Expense. If Tenant shall fail to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges after the same become due and payable under this Lease, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at the lesser of (a) a per annum rate equal to 3% plus the prime rate of Bank of America (or any successor) in effect on the day the payment became due and subject to change thereafter or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (Interest Payment). In addition, if Landlord is required to redeposit any check which is returned for insufficient funds or if Tenant shall fail to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges on or before the date on which the same become due and payable, then Tenant shall also pay to Landlord an administrative expense charge (Administrative Expense) of 5% of the amount thereof for each calendar month or part thereof after the due date of such payment until such payment is received by Landlord. The provisions herein for Interest Payment and Administrative Expense shall not be construed to relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other charges when due under this Lease and shall be in addition to and not in limitation of Landlords other remedies as provided for in this Lease.

Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other, to the extent of their respective insurance coverages, from any and all liability for any loss or damage caused by fire, any of the extended coverage casualties, or other casualties insured against, even if such fire or other casualty shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the party benefited by the release or its agents, provided that this release shall be in force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as the policies of fire, extended coverage and other insurance, maintained by the releasing party shall contain a clause, or be subject to a statutory provision, to the effect that such release shall not affect said policies or the right of the releasing party to recover thereunder. Tenants fire, extended coverage, and other insurance policies will include such a clause. To the extent that Tenant is a self-insurer with respect to personal property, the provisions of Section 7.8 shall be applicable.
Section 13.6 Entire Agreement; Execution; Time of the Essence and Headings and Table of Contents. This Lease together with all Exhibits referred to herein and the Summary of Basic Terms, sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and cannot be modified or amended, except in a writing duly executed by the respective parties. This Lease, together with all Exhibits referred to herein and the Summary of Basic Terms, supersedes all previous written and oral negotiations, understandings and agreements regarding the subject matter of this Lease. Neither Landlord nor any Person acting on behalf of Landlord has made any representations to Tenant on which Tenant has relied in entering into this Lease except any representations expressly stated in this Lease. This Lease is executed as a sealed instrument and in multiple counterparts, all copies of which are identical, and any one of which is to be deemed to be complete in itself and may be introduced in evidence or used for any purpose without the production of any other copy. Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations of Tenant and Landlord to be performed within a specific time frame in this Lease. The headings throughout this Lease and the Table of Contents are for convenience of reference only, and shall in no way be held or deemed to define, limit, explain, describe, modify or add to the interpretation, construction or meaning of any provision of this Lease.
Section 13.7 Partial Invalidity.

Section 13.8 No Waiver. No assent, express or implied, by Landlord to any breach of any agreement or condition herein contained on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed, and no waiver, express or implied, of any such agreement or condition shall be deemed to be a waiver of or an assent to any succeeding breach of the same or any other agreement or condition; the acceptance by Landlord of Base Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder (whether such payment is made by Tenant or another Person), or silence by Landlord as to any breach, shall not be construed as waiving any of Landlords rights hereunder unless such waiver shall be in writing. No payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord of a
33
lesser amount than shall be due Landlord from Tenant shall be deemed to be anything but payment on account, and the acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon a letter accompanying said check, that said lesser amount is payment in full shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept said check without prejudice to recover the balance due or pursue any other remedy.
Section 13.9 Holdover; Waiver of Consequential Damages. If Tenant remains in the Premises beyond the expiration of this Lease at the end of the Lease Term, or sooner following an early termination as provided for herein, such holding over shall not be deemed to create any tenancy, but Tenant shall be a daily Tenant at sufferance only subject to all of Tenants obligations set forth herein, but at a Base Rent equal to one and one-half (1%) times the Base Rent then most recently in effect and Additional Rent and other charges provided for under this Lease, with such Base Rent and Additional Rent to be charged on a monthly basis for each calendar month or portion thereof for which Tenant holds over, without proration for a partial calendar month. The acceptance of a purported rent check following termination shall not constitute the creation of a tenancy at will, it being agreed that Tenants status shall remain that of a daily Tenant at sufferance, at the aforesaid daily rate. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, if any, sustained by reason of any such holding over in excess of 30 days. Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable. In addition, Tenant shall save the Landlord Parties harmless and will exonerate, defend and indemnify the Landlord Parties from and against any and all damages which Landlord may suffer on account of Tenants hold-over in the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the Term of this Lease.
Except as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, Tenant shall not be liable hereunder for consequential, punitive or special damages.
Section 13.10 When Lease Becomes Binding. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease or a reservation or an option for the Premises, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant and the receipt by Landlord of the Security Deposit. All negotiations, considerations, representations and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and may be modified or altered only by agreement in writing 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.
Section 13.11 Recordation. Tenant shall not record this Lease with any registry of deeds or land court, and any such recordation will be void and constitute an Event of Default under this Lease.
Section 13.12 As Is. Subject to performance of Landlords Work, Tenant represents to Landlord that it has leased the Premises after a full and complete examination of the same, and by its execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledges that neither Landlord, nor Landlords agents, has made any representation or promises with respect to the Premises, the Building, or the land upon which it stands, and no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Tenant, by implication or otherwise, except as may be set forth expressly in this Lease.
Section 13.13 Financial Statements; Certain Representations and Warranties of Tenant. On an annual basis and subject to Section 13.14 below (or more frequently if requested by Landlord in connection with a financing or sale of the Property), Tenant shall provide to Landlord, any actual or potential mortgagee and any actual or potential ground lessor or any representative of any of the foregoing, copies of Tenants annual financial statements (audited if available), certified as true and correct by the president or chief financial officer of Tenant.

Section 13.14 Confidentiality. The parties hereto acknowledge that the terms under which Landlord has leased the Premises to Tenant (including, without limitation, the rental rate(s), term and other financial and business terms) and all documents and information provided to Landlord by Tenant, including but not limited to manufacturing facility and construction blueprints and plans and financial statements, constitute confidential information (Confidential Information). Each party receiving Confidential Information hereunder (the receiving party) from the other party (the disclosing party) shall keep the Confidential Information completely confidential; provided that (a) such Confidential Information may be disclosed by the receiving party to its officers, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, potential and existing lenders, brokers, property managers and financial advisors who need to know such information in connection with the receiving partys business activities (collectively, Representatives; provided, further that potential purchasers of the Property shall also be a Representative of Landlord), (it being understood that the receiving party shall each inform its Representatives of the confidential nature of such Confidential information and that such Representatives shall be directed by the receiving party, and shall each expressly agree, to treat such Confidential Information confidentially in accordance with the terms of this Section), (b) unless required by applicable law, any other disclosure of such information may only be made if the other party consents in writing prior to any such disclosure, and (c) any information or material provided by Tenant to Landlord that is available in the public domain shall not be considered Confidential Information, including without limitation, any publicly available construction blueprints and plans. In addition, each party may, but shall not be required to, condition its disclosure of Confidential Information to the other party upon such other partys execution of a commercially reasonable non-disclosure agreement.
Section 13.15 Summary of Basic Terms. The Summary of Basic Terms which is affixed to this Lease sets forth certain basic terms and information which is thereafter referred to in the main text of this Lease. Every reference to the Summary of Basic Terms, or to a particular item thereon, shall have the effect of incorporating the Summary, or the particular item thereof, into the main text of this Lease.
