The release may be partial or complete and on such terms and conditions as the Landlord, acting reasonably, determines.

(“Indemnitor”)

 

SECOND PARTY

 

In order to induce Landlord to enter into the lease (the “Lease”) dated and made between Landlord and Coley Pharmaceutical Group Ltd., as Tenant, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof is hereby acknowledged, Indemnitor hereby makes the following indemnity and agreement (“Indemnity”) with and in favour of Landlord:

 

  1. Indemnitor hereby agrees with Landlord that at all times during (i) the Term, (ii) any extension or renewal thereof, and (iii) any other period when Tenant is in possession of the Premises, Indemnitor shall be bound to Landlord for the performance of all the obligations of Tenant under the Lease, and Indemnitor’s liability shall be that of a direct and primary obligor, and, in this regard, Indemnitor shall: (a) make due and punctual payment of all Rent, loan repayments, moneys, charges and other amounts of any kind whatsoever due and payable under the Lease by Tenant, whether to Landlord or to any other Person and whether the Lease has been disaffirmed, disclaimed, terminated or surrendered; (b) effect prompt and complete performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed; and (c) promptly indemnify and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all Claims arising out of any failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease on the part of Tenant to be kept, observed and performed.

 

  2. Indemnitor hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that this Indemnity is absolute and unconditional and the obligations of Indemnitor shall not be released, discharged, mitigated, impaired or affected (whether or not Indemnitor has notice thereof or is a party thereto) by: (a) any extension of time, indulgences or modifications which Landlord extends to or makes with Tenant in respect of the performance of any of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease; (b) any waiver by or failure of Landlord to enforce any of the terms, covenants, agreements, stipulations, provisos, conditions and Rules and Regulations contained in the Lease; (c) any Transfer of the Lease or all or any part of the Premises by Tenant or by any Transferee, or by any trustee, receiver, receiver-manager or liquidator; (d) any Change of Control of Tenant or of any Transferee; (e) any consent which Landlord gives to any Transfer or Change of Control; (f) any relocation, expansion or reduction of the Premises and any changes to the Lease resulting therefrom; (g) any amendment, modification or variation to the Lease (whether such amendment, modification or variation is made between Landlord and Tenant, or between Landlord and any Transferee); (h) any waiver by Tenant or any Transferee of any of its rights under the Lease; (i) any Alterations in, to or for the Premises or any part thereof; (j) the expiration of the Term or termination of the Lease; (k) any overholding by Tenant of the Premises or any part thereof; (l) any renewal or extension of the Lease pursuant to any option or right of Tenant or otherwise, it being understood and agreed that this Indemnity shall extend throughout the Term, as renewed or extended; (m) any loss of, or any loss in respect of, any security received or intended to have been received by Landlord from Tenant or any other Person, whether or not occasioned or contributed to by or through the act, omission, default or neglect of Landlord or those for whom Landlord is in law responsible; (n) any act, omission, default, or neglect of Landlord or any other Person whereby (i) Tenant (or any one or more persons comprising Tenant) or (ii) Indemnitor (or any one or more Persons comprising Indemnitor) is released or has its (or their) obligations under the Lease or this Indemnity, as the case may be, discharged, mitigated, impaired or affected in any way whatsoever; or (o) any person or future statute or any existing or any common law

 

Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 406 of the Securities Act.

 

48

 

 


under which (i) Tenant (or any one or more Persons comprising Tenant) or (ii) Indemnitor (or any one or more Persons comprising Indemnitor) is released or has its (or their) obligations under the Lease or this Indemnity, as the case may be, discharged, mitigated, impaired or affected in any way whatsoever. Nothing but payment and satisfaction in full of all Rent and the due performance and observance of all terms, covenants and conditions on the part of Tenant to be paid and performed under the Lease shall release Indemnitor from its obligations under the Lease or this Indemnity, as the case may be.

 

  3. Indemnitor hereby expressly waives notice of the acceptance of this Agreement and any notice of nonperformance, nonpayment or nonobservance on the part of Tenant of any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any notice which Landlord desires to give to Indemnitor shall be sufficiently given if addressed to Indemnitor and delivered to the Premises, or, if mailed by prepaid registered or certified post addressed to Indemnitor at the premises, and every such notice is deemed to have been given on the day it was delivered, or, if mailed, seventy two (72) hours after it was mailed. Indemnitor may designate by notice in writing a substitute address for that set forth above and thereafter notices shall be directed to such substitute address. If two or more persons are named as Indemnitor, any notice given hereunder or under the Lease shall be sufficiently given if delivered or mailed in the foregoing manner to any one of such Persons.

 

  4. In the event of default by Tenant under the Lease, Indemnitor expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord may proceed directly against Indemnitor, and in this regard Indemnitor waives any right to require Landlord first to (a) proceed first against Tenant or any other Indemnitor, guarantor or person or pursue any rights or remedies against Tenant or any other Indemnitor, guarantor or person with respect to the Lease, (b) proceed against or exhaust any security of Tenant held by Landlord, or (c) pursue any other remedy available to Landlord under the Lease, in equity or at law. Landlord has the right to enforce this Indemnity regardless of the acceptance or additional security from Tenant and regardless of any release or discharge of Tenant by Landlord or by others or by operation of any law.

 

  5. Without limiting any other provision contained in the Indemnity the liability of Indemnitor under this Indemnity shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be, or be deemed to have been, waived, released, discharged, impaired or affect by reason of the release or discharge of Tenant in receivership, bankruptcy, winding up or other creditors’ proceedings, or the rejection, disaffirmance, disclaimer, termination or surrender (whether or not accepted by Landlord) of the Lease pursuant to any statute or otherwise, and shall continue with respect to the periods prior thereto and thereafter, for and with respect to the Term as if the Lease had not been rejected, disaffirmed, disclaimed, terminated or surrendered, and in furtherance hereof Indemnitor agrees, on such rejection, disaffirmance, disclaimer, termination or surrender (collectively, “Surrender”), that Indemnitor shall at the option of Landlord and upon written request from Landlord, immediately execute a Lease (the “New Lease”) with Landlord for the Premises between Landlord as landlord and Indemnitor as Tenant. Such New Lease shall be prepared by Landlord at Indemnitor’s expense and shall contain the same terms and conditions contained in the Lease which would apply to and be enforced for that portion of the Term which by the original terms of the Lease would have remained unexpired at the date of such Surrender except that (a) the Term of the New Lease shall commence at the date of such Surrender and expire on the date on which the Lease would have expired if it had run its full Term without default by Tenant and without such Surrender, (b) Indemnitor (as tenant) shall accept the Premises in an “as is” condition as of the date on which Landlord exercises its right to require Indemnitor to enter into such New Lease, and (c) Landlord shall have no obligation under such New Lease to pay or provide to Indemnitor (as tenant) any allowance, concession or inducement of any nature, or pay or provide any Fixturing Period, or do or perform any Landlord’s Work in, to or for the Premises. In addition to such New Lease, Indemnitor shall immediately execute any other documents, prepared by Landlord at Indemnitor’s expense, that Landlord requires in connection therewith. The liability of Indemnitor shall not be affected by any repossession of the Premises by Landlord, provided, however, that any net payments received by Landlord after deducting all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all professional, consultant and legal fees (on a solicitor and his/her own client basis) of repossessing and reletting the Premises shall be credited from time to time by Landlord against the indebtedness of Indemnitor hereunder, and Indemnitor shall pay any balance owing to Landlord from time to time immediately upon demand therefor.

 

  6. No action or proceedings brought or instituted under this Indemnity and no recovery in pursuance thereof shall be a bar or defence to any further action or proceeding which may be brought under this Indemnity by reason of any further default hereunder or in the performance and observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease.

 

Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 406 of the Securities Act.

 

49

 

 


  7. No modification of this Indemnity shall be effective unless such modification is in writing and is executed by both Indemnitor and Landlord.

 

  8. If Indemnitor is a corporation, it shall not, directly or indirectly, change, or permit to be changed, the effective voting control thereof from that existing as of the date of the commencement of the Fixturing Period, or, if none, as of the Commencement Date, and, if Indemnitor is a partnership, joint venture or co-tenancy, it shall not change, or permit to be changed, the Persons comprising the partnership, joint venture or co-tenancy as of the date of commencement of the Fixturing Period or, if none, as of the Commencement Date, without in either case obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent in each and every instance, which consent may be unreasonably withheld.

 

  9. If more than one individual, corporation, partnership or other business association (or any combination of them) executes this Indemnity as Indemnitor, the liability of each such individual, corporation, partnership or other business association hereunder is joint and several. In like manner, if Indemnitor named in this Indemnity is a partnership or other business association, the members of which are by virtue of statutory or common law subject to personal liability, the liability of each such member is joint and several. If two or more Persons are named as an Indemnitor in this Indemnity, the release of one or more of such Persons does not release any remaining Person named as an Indemnitor in this Indemnity.

 

  10. All debts, obligations and liabilities (collectively “Liabilities”) of Tenant to Indemnitor, present and future, are hereby assigned to Landlord and postponed to all the Liabilities of Tenant to Landlord. All money, property and other benefits received by Indemnitor from Tenant shall be received in trust for Landlord and, forthwith upon receipt thereof, Indemnitor shall pay it or them to Landlord on account of any outstanding obligations of Tenant to Landlord.

 

  11. Indemnitor shall be bound by any account settled between Landlord and Tenant.

 

  12. This Indemnity constitutes the complete agreement between Indemnitor and Landlord, and none of the Parties hereto shall be bound by an representations or agreements made by any Person which would in any way reduce or impair the obligations of Indemnitor other than any which are expressly set out herein, or in any modification of this Indemnity in writing and executed by both Indemnitor and Landlord.

 

  13. All terms, covenants and conditions of this Indemnity extend to and are binding on Indemnitor, his, her or its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, as the case may be, and enure to the benefit of and may be enforced by Landlord, its successors and assigns, as the case may be, and by a Mortgagee or other encumbrancer of all or any part of the Centre referred to in the Lease. The obligations of Indemnitor shall not be affected by the death or incapacity of Indemnitor.

 

  14. The words “Mortgagee”, “Claims”, “Landlord”, “Tenant”, “Person”, “Rent”, “Term”, and “Premises” and all other words and phrases used in this Indemnity that are defined in the Lease are used in this Indemnity as so defined unless otherwise defined in this Indemnity, or the context otherwise requires.

 

  15. Indemnitor shall, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, be bound by this Indemnity in the same manner as if Indemnitor were Tenant named in the Lease. Indemnitor acknowledges that it has received a true copy of the Lease and is familiar with the terms, covenants and conditions contained therein.

 

  16. Wherever in this Indemnity reference is made to either Landlord or Tenant, the reference is deemed to apply also to the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the Landlord or of Tenant, as the case may be, named in this Lease. Any assignment by Landlord of any of its interest in the Lease operates automatically as an assignment to such assignee of the benefit of this Indemnity.

 

  17. This Indemnity shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Jurisdiction.

 

Portions of this Exhibit were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential treatment under Rule 406 of the Securities Act.

  18. Indemnitor acknowledges the suggestion of Landlord that, before executing this Indemnity, Indemnitor should obtain independent legal advice.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Indemnity.
