If Landlord designates spaces in such parking garage as being for visitors to the Building generally, Genocea may permit its visitors to use such spaces on a non-exclusive basis with other visitors to the Building.
4. ADDITIONAL RENT: PAYMENTS: INTEREST.
a. Commencing on the date of this Agreement, Genocea shall also be liable to Smithsonian for its proportionate share (12.89%, defined as 10,507 rentable square feet divided by 81,500 total leased square feet leased by Smithsonian pursuant to the Prime Lease) (Proportionate Share) of Operating Costs, Taxes, and Insurance Costs as set forth and defined in the Prime Lease and as calculated herein.
i. Operating Costs at $10,165.52 per month, calculated at the rate of $11.61 per square foot, subject to annual reconciliation by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease and the reconciliation provisions of this Section;
ii. Taxes at $6,812.04 per month, calculated at the rate of $7.78 per square foot, subject to annual reconciliation by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease and the reconciliation provisions of this Section; and
iii. Insurance Costs at $429.73 per month, calculated at the rate of $0.049 per square foot, subject to annual reconciliation by the Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease and the reconciliation provisions of this Section.
b. Genocea shall also pay to Smithsonian any amounts incurred by Smithsonian and assessed by Landlord under the Prime Lease for the sole purpose of obtaining Prime Landlords consent to this Sublease Agreement, including but not limited to any costs assessed by Landlord for administrative, legal fees and/or additional insurance provisions required.
c. Genocea shall pay to Smithsonian all other amounts payable by Smithsonian under the Prime Lease which are attributable exclusively to the Premises or attributable exclusively to Genocea, its employees, customers or invitees. By way of example and not by way of limitation, its Proportionate Share (or direct share as may be appropriate) of charges by Prime Landlord for furnishing air
3
conditioning or heating to the Premises at times in addition to those certain times specified in the Prime Lease (if not separately metered directly to Genocea ), costs incurred by the Prime Landlord or Smithsonian in repairing damage to the Building caused by an employee of Genocea, increased insurance premiums due as a result of Genoceas use of the Premises, and amounts expended or incurred by the Prime Landlord or Smithsonian on account of any default by Genocea which gives rise to a default under either the Prime Lease or this Agreement which would be amounts payable by Genocea pursuant to this Subsection 4(c).
d. All amounts other than Base Rent payable to Smithsonian under this Agreement shall be deemed to be additional rent due under this Agreement (Additional Rent). All past due installments of Base Rent and Additional Rent, if not paid within five business days after written notice from Smithsonian, shall bear a 5% penalty and shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the rate per annum equal to the lesser of (i) two percent (2%) higher than the prime rate then being reported in the Wall Street Journal or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term Prime Rate shall mean the rate of interest announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate.
e. Reconciliation. Payments by Genocea of Additional Rent authorized herein shall be reconciled by Smithsonian on an annual basis. This reconciliation shall be completed within ninety (90) days of Smithsonians receipt of a reconciliation statement from Landlord pursuant to Section 4.7 of the Prime Lease, at which time Smithsonian shall submit a statement broken down by categories in a consistent fashion and in reasonable detail (including reconciliation statements related thereto as provided by Prime Landlord to Smithsonian) showing:
i. The actual costs for Operating Costs, Taxes, Insurance Costs or other types of Additional Rent expenses (all the Additional Rent Costs) paid or incurred by Smithsonian under the Prime Lease and attributable to the Premises either based on the Proportionate Share or, for the charges that are not allocable on a Proportionate Share basis, on an equitable basis;
ii. A computation of the amount by which the Additional Rent Costs actually incurred during the preceding calendar year exceed the aggregate amount of the Additional Rent payments made by Genocea on account thereof; and
iii. If the aggregate amount of Additional Rent paid by Genocea exceeds Smithsonians actual Additional Rent Costs, then Smithsonian shall deduct the net overpayment from its next estimated Base Rent due for the then current year, and Genocea shall make future monthly payments based on the amounts reconciled thereof; provided, however, that any Additional Rent paid by Genocea during the last year of the term of this Sublease which exceeds Smithsonians actual liability for Additional Rent Costs, shall be paid directly to Genocea within thirty (30) days after the reconciliation
4
statement is delivered to Genocea or the end of the lease term, whichever is later.
iv. If actual costs for Additional Rent Costs exceed the estimate, Genocea shall pay the total amount of such deficiency within thirty (30) days of notification as Additional Rent in accordance with this section.
v. In the final year of the Lease Term, reconciliations as reflected herein shall be calculated on the basis of the number of days of actual occupancy in the calendar year in which the Lease Term expires.
The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration of this Sublease.
f. Genocea shall be responsible for (i) coordinating with Prime Landlord and the utility company to allow for a separate meter for electric service to the Premises and (ii) coordinating with Prime Landlord in order to transfer elevator and door access to Genocea from Smithsonian, and no further consents from Smithsonian shall be required in connection with the installation of a separate meter; however, Smithsonian shall cooperate to the extent required by the Prime Landlord or any utility company. Genocea shall be responsible for all expenses relating to the foregoing, including transferring the Premises back to Smithsonian at the end of the term and, at Smithsonians election, removing any separate meter (or reinstalling any equipment) and restoring and/or repairing any damage to the Premises in connection with said removal or reinstallation.

Within forty-five (45) days after completion of the Tenant Improvements Work, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement of the actual Tenant Improvements Costs and the actual Tenants Contribution, if any, and of the difference between the actual Tenants Contribution and the amount theretofore paid by Tenant to Landlord in respect of Tenants Contribution; and, within thirty (30) days after Landlord submits such statement to Tenant, such difference shall be reconciled by Tenant or Landlord, as appropriate, paying to the other the amount of the difference.
(e) Change Orders. Tenant may request changes in the Tenant Improvements Work from that provided for in the Tenant Improvements Plans by giving Landlord written notice of the proposed change(s) with such details, plans and specifications as may be required by Landlord. In response to such request by Tenant, Landlord shall, within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of such request, provide Tenant with a proposed change order setting forth (i) the change in the Tenant improvements Costs due to such change(s), (ii) the expected delay, if any, in achieving Substantial Completion in connection therewith and (iii) any reasonable conditions imposed by Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of a proposed change order, either reject or accept it. If Tenant rejects a proposed change order (or fails to respond within the specified period), the Tenant Improvements Work shall not be changed. If Tenant approves a proposed change order, then (x) Tenant shall execute the proposed change order and deliver a signed original thereof to Landlord within the specified five (5) Business Day period, together with payment of an amount equal to the Base Rent for the time period specified in clause (ii) above, and (y) the Target Completion Date and the Existing Lease Holdover Date shall be extended for the time period specified in clause (ii) above, and (z) Tenant shall pay to Landlord any increase in the estimated Tenants Contribution due to the Change Order within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlords statement therefor.
(f) Acceptance of Premises: Warranty. Tenants taking possession of the Premises on or after the Commencement Date shall be conclusive evidence, as against Tenant, that the Premises were in good order and satisfactory condition in substantial accordance with the Tenant improvements Plans and Base Building Plans when Tenant took possession, except for: (i) punch list items on a list signed by both parties within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date, (ii) any claims of breach of Landlords warranty set forth below in this Section 3.1(f), and (iii) the Expansion Space, if any, if Tenant has not then taken possession of the Expansion Space. Landlord hereby warrants to Tenant that Landlords Work shall be performed: (x) in a good and workmanlike manner, (y) free from defects in workmanship and materials, and (z) in compliance with Legal Requirements. Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any claim under such warranty except for such matters of which Tenant advises Landlord in writing on or before the first anniversary of the date on which Landlord achieves Substantial Completion (or, with respect to Expansion Space, if any, which is not substantially complete as
24
of the date on which Landlord achieves Substantial Completion, on or before the first anniversary of the date on which Landlord achieves substantial completion of the Expansion Space); provided, however, that the period within which Tenant may make a warranty claim shall be extended for an additional year with respect to latent defects. Nothing herein shall relieve Landlord of its maintenance and repair obligations under this Lease.
(g) Construction Representatives. Each of Landlord and Tenant shall have a construction representative who shall be the primary contact person for such party during the design and construction process and who shall be authorized to make day-to-day decisions in the design and construction process. Landlords construction representative shall be Robert A. Schlager. Tenants construction representative shall be Rick Harnden. Each of Landlord and Tenant may change its construction representative by written notice given to the other from time to time.
(h) Permitting. Tenant will cooperate fully with Landlord, but at no out-of-pocket cost to Tenant, as reasonably requested by Landlord, in the permitting process for the Building, and, at Landlords request, will designate an appropriate representative of Tenant to attend meetings relating to the permitting process.

All of Tenants Work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner using new and high quality materials, in accordance with Legal Requirements, and in accordance with the requirements of Section 7.5. If any of Tenants Work must be completed as a condition of obtaining a certificate of occupancy or temporary certificate of occupancy to allow Tenant to occupy and use the Premises for the Permitted Use, Tenant shall perform such of Tenants Work so as not to delay Substantial Completion.

Section 3.4. Signs. Tenant shall have the right to be identified on the sign at the entrance to the Project and the right to an exterior sign on the Building, provided that each such sign complies with the provisions of this Section and other applicable provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not permit any other tenant identification signs to be installed on the exterior of the Building without the written consent of Tenant, which Tenant will not unreasonably withhold. The location, design, shape, size, materials, color and type and all other matters related to each of Tenants signs (other than Tenants right to a sign) shall be subject to Landlords prior written approval following submission by Tenant to Landlord of detailed plans therefor, which approval Landlord will not unreasonably withhold. Landlord acknowledges that Landlord has approved Tenants sign to be installed on the exterior of the Building in accordance with Exhibit H hereto, subject to compliance with Legal Requirements. Except for the signs permitted under this Section, Tenant shall not erect any signs which are visible from the exterior of the Building. Tenant shall not erect signs except in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall be solely responsible for confirming that any proposed sign is in compliance with all such requirements.

ARTICLE IV
BASE RENT: ADDITIONAL RENT
Section 4.1. Base Rent.
(a) Tenant shall pay Base Rent in the amounts set forth in Item 9 of the Summary of Basic Terms.
(b) (i) The annual Base Rent per square foot for the first Extension Term will be the sum of (A) the annual Base Rent per square foot for the Initial Term plus (B) fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the annual Market Rent per square foot, determined in accordance with this Section 4.1(b), exceeds such annual Base Rent per square foot for the Initial Term; provided, however, that in no event shall the annual Base Rent per square foot for the first Extension Term be less than the annual Base Rent per square foot for the Initial Term. The annual Base Rent per square foot for the second Extension Term will be the annual Market Rent per square foot, determined in accordance with this Section 4.1(b); provided, however, that in no event shall the annual Base Rent per square foot for the second Extension Term be less than the annual Base Rent per square foot for the first Extension Term. Within sixty (60) days after Tenant gives to Landlord written notice of exercise of an extension option pursuant to Section 2.4(b), Landlord and Tenant shall simultaneously exchange proposals setting forth their opinions as to the annual fair market rent per square foot for the Premises for the applicable Extension Term (Market Rent). Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith until the later of: (X) fifteen (15) days after the exchange of proposals or (V) the end of the ninth (9th) Lease Year (if Market Rent is being determined for the first Extension Term) or the end of the sixteenth (16th) Lease Year (if Market Rent is being determined for the second Extension Term) (such period being herein called the Negotiation Period) 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
28
(b)(iii), simultaneously exchange and 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 applicable Extension Term at the then current arms-length negotiated rentals being charged to new (or renewal tenants for renewals and extensions which do not have pre-negotiated contract rents) for comparable space in comparable buildings located in the City of Cambridge, taking into account and giving effect to, in determining comparability, without limitation, such considerations as lease term and the age, size, location, condition, and amenities of the Building. The Market Rent may include escalations at various points during the applicable Extension Term. For purposes of such determination, the Premises shall be considered to be vacant and to be rented as a whole for its highest and best use with the degree of finishes and level of leasehold improvements then generally afforded as building standard by landlords in the City of Cambridge. The arbitrator shall also consider and incorporate into the computation the existing improvements to the Premises. Neither party shall be deemed under any compulsion to rent or lease space. The arbitrator shall not have the right to modify any other provision of the Lease except Base Rent. Within thirty (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 applicable 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. Notwithstanding the above provisions of this paragraph to the contrary, if the proposals as to Market Rent to be submitted by the parties to the arbitrator are not separated by more than ten percent (10%) of the lower proposal, then the Market Rent shall be the mean average of the two proposals and shall not be determined by arbitration.
(iii) If the parties are unable to agree upon the Market Rent within the Negotiation Period, then the parties shall, within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Negotiation Period (such fifteen (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 fifteen (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 salesperson or as an appraiser, as would qualify such arbitrator as an expert with respect to leasing terms in the City of Cambridge. Such arbitrator shall make the determination required pursuant to Section 4.1 (b)(ii) within thirty (30) days of 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. In making its determination of Market Rent, the arbitrator shall not make any downward adjustment to account for any savings to be realized by Landlord with respect to leasing commissions.
(c) Base Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments of one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual Base Rent then in effect and shall be paid without offset for any reason
29
except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month from and after the Rent Commencement Date. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid as specified by Landlord either (i) by an electronic funds transfer system arranged by and among Tenant, Tenants bank and Landlord, or (ii) by check sent to Landlords office c/o Robert A. Schlager, or at such other place as Landlord shall from time to time designate in writing. The parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations owing by Tenant under this Section 4.1 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 4.2. Certain Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay, without offset for any reason, all payments of Additional Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay any Additional Rent, Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies available for failure to pay Base Rent. The parties acknowledge and agree that 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 (being Tenants Building Share of Building Taxes and Tenants Project Share of Project Taxes). Such amounts shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end of each Tax Fiscal Year, 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 from time to time as reasonably determined by Landlord and when the actual amounts are determined. After readjustment, any shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (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. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, upon Tenants request, but not more than once in any year, a copy of the most recent tax bill and any estimated tax bill.
(b) If, after Tenant shall have made any payment under this Section 4.3, 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 thirty (30) days after receiving the Refund, pay to Tenant (unless an Event of Default has occurred) an amount equal to (i) Tenants Share of the Refund, which payment to Tenant shall be appropriately adjusted if Tenants Share of Taxes covered a shorter period than covered by the Refund, less (ii) Tenants Share of all expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such proceedings (including, but not limited to, attorneys fees, costs and appraisers fees).
(c) Landlord will initiate and pursue tax abatement proceedings when, in Landlords commercially reasonable judgment, such proceedings are advisable (including by
30
reason of Tenants non-profit status). Landlord shall have sole control of all tax abatement proceedings.
(d) If the Commencement Date 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 thirty (30) days after the receipt of the tax bill for such Tax Fiscal Year, Landlord and Tenant shall make appropriate adjustments of estimated payments.
(e) 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, amounts equal to Tenants Project Share of Project Insurance Costs and Tenants Building Share of Building Insurance Costs. Tenants Project Share of Project Insurance Costs and Tenants Building Share of Building Insurance Costs shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end of each calendar year, 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 reasonably determined by Landlord and also when actual Project Insurance Costs and Building Insurance Costs are determined. After a readjustment, any shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (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 upon request with reasonable supporting documentation for the Insurance Costs.
Section 4.5. Operating Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, amounts equal to Tenants Project Share of Project Operating Costs and Tenants Building Share of Building Operating Costs. Tenants Project Share of Project Operating Costs and Tenants Building Share of Building Operating Costs shall be estimated in good faith by Landlord at the end of each calendar year, 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 Project Operating Costs and Building Operating Costs are determined. After a readjustment, any shortage shall be due and payable by Tenant within thirty (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 upon request with reasonable supporting documentation for the Operating Costs.
Section 4.6. Tenants Utility Costs. Landlord shall, to the extent practical, cause the Premises to be separately metered or submetered for electric and gas use, including, without limitation, with respect to all variable air volume (VAV) boxes and pre-heaters, HVAC equipment and systems, lighting and outlets serving the Premises. If the Premises are separately
31
metered or submetered such that the utility provider bills Tenant directly for Tenants Utility Costs, Tenant shall pay Tenants Utility Costs directly to the utility provider promptly as due and payable. If the Premises are separately metered or submetered such that the utility provider bills Landlord for electric service provided to the Building and Landlord bills Tenant for Tenants Utility Costs, Tenant shall pay such bills for Tenants Utility Costs within thirty (30) days after receipt.
Section 4.7. Tenants Audit Rights. Annually, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a report setting forth in reasonable detail the Project Operating Costs, Building 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 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 within six (6) months after receipt of such report (such six (6) month period being called the Audit Period) by delivering a notice of its intention to perform such audit to Landlord. 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 thirty (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 five percent (5.0%), the reasonable cost of such audit shall be paid or reimbursed to Tenant by Landlord. An overstatement shall not be deemed to exist due to a Refund. 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 Landlord determines that a report previously furnished by Landlord was in error, Landlord may furnish a corrective or supplemental report to Tenant within two years 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 (6) months after Landlord furnishes the corrective or supplemental report.

Notwithstanding the above, any damage to the
34
Common Areas or Common Facilities caused by any of Tenants Invitees shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant.
(f) Waste Removal. Landlord shall provide or arrange for ordinary and reasonable waste removal services for the Building. In the event that Landlord determines that Tenants quantity of waste is excessive in comparison to other tenants of the Building, or, in the event that Landlord determines that Tenants waste is other than waste generated by typical office use, Landlord may bill Tenant directly as Additional Rent for any such additional cost therefor or require that Tenant be responsible for disposing of its own waste.

Section 6.4. Additional Services. Should Tenant request any additional services, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as Additional Rent therefor Landlords actual costs for

Tenant will not make any change in, or addition to, the Premises without first obtaining, on each occasion, Landlords consent in writing as provided below (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and then only at Tenants expense, and in a lawful manner and upon such terms and conditions as Landlord, by such writing, shall reasonably approve, which shall include, without limitation, (a) maintenance of insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (b) compliance with Sections 7.9, 7.11 and 7.13; provided, however, that Tenant may, upon prior written notice to, but without the requirement of consent of, Landlord, make the following alterations or additions (Permitted Alterations): (i) alterations or additions which (1) are non-structural, (2) do not penetrate or otherwise affect the roof of the Building, (3) do not affect the systems of the Building, and (4) are not reasonably anticipated to cost more than $100,000, either singly or in the aggregate, in any calendar year; and (ii) alterations which are purely cosmetic in nature, such as paint, wall covering, carpeting and the like, regardless of cost. .

Other than with respect to Permitted Alterations, Tenant will deliver to Landlord in writing a schedule setting forth the details and location of all such proposed alterations or additions and detailed plans and specifications. The contractor(s) performing the work, other than Permitted Alterations, shall be subject to Landlords approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld. If required by Landlords lender, Tenant shall provide a statutory lien bond with respect to such work. All approved repairs, installations, alterations, additions or other improvements made by Tenant shall be made in a good and workmanlike manner, between such hours as approved in writing by Landlord, and in such a way that utilities will not be interrupted and other tenants and occupants of the Project will not suffer unreasonable inconvenience or interference as determined by Landlord.

Both during and after the performance of any such work, Landlord shall have free access to any and all mechanical installations in the Premises, including, but not limited to, air conditioning, fans, ventilating systems, machine rooms and electrical closets; and Tenant agrees not to construct or permit the installation of partitions and/or other obstructions in the Premises which might interfere with Landlords free access to the Premises or Building, or impede the free flow of air to and from air vents and other portions of the heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems in the Building. Unless Landlord elects otherwise, but subject to Section 7.6, all installations, alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises shall be the property of Landlord and shall remain upon, and be surrendered with, the Premises at the end of the Lease Term or sooner termination of this Lease.
37

Tenant agrees to maintain full and adequate insurance coverage on all of its property at the Premises and in the remainder of the Building, including physical damage, theft and business interruption insurance, or Tenant shall be a self-insurer thereof, in which case Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing and shall be fully responsible for all such damage, and shall save harmless Landlord from any loss, cost, expense, damage or liability resulting from Tenants failure to have such insurance as required in this Lease. Such insurance on Tenants property shall contain a waiver of subrogation clause in favor of Landlord, or shall name Landlord as an additional insured for the sole purpose of preventing a subrogation claim against Landlord. If Tenant is a self-insurer, in whole or in part, Landlord shall be entitled to the same benefits it would have enjoyed had insurance covering the loss in full with a waiver of subrogation clause been in effect, or as if the Landlord has been named on insurance covering the loss in frill as an additional insured for the purpose of preventing a subrogation claim.
Section 7.9. Exoneration, Hold Harmless and Insurance. Tenant will exonerate, defend, save and hold harmless Landlord (and any and all Persons claiming by, through or under Landlord) from and against all claims, proceedings, defenses thereof, liabilities, costs, and expenses of any kind and nature, including legal fees, arising from: (i) any breach of this Lease by Tenant or any of Tenants Invitees or other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant;
38
and/or (ii) any misconduct or negligence of any of Tenants Invitees, or arising from any accident, injury or damage occurring in, on or about the Project, which such accident, damage or injury results or is claimed to have resulted from the negligence or misconduct on the part of any of Tenants Invitees. This exoneration and hold harmless agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.
From and after any pre-term occupancy by Tenant, if any, allowed by Landlord, and thereafter during the Lease Term and any period of holding over, Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect a policy of commercial general liability insurance under which Landlord (and its designees) and Landlords mortgagee(s) are named as additional insureds. Each such policy shall be non-cancelable with respect to Landlord without thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to any pre-term occupancy, prior to the Commencement Date and thereafter at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any then effective coverage a satisfactory written certificate of insurance coverages or the renewal or replacement of such coverages. The minimum limits of liability of such insurance shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence. Tenant shall not permit any contractor to do any work at or furnish any materials to be incorporated into the Premises, whether or not included In Tenants Work, without first delivering to Landlord satisfactory evidence of the Contractors commercial general liability insurance, workers compensation insurance, automobile insurance and, if required by Landlords lender, statutory lien bonds, each reasonably acceptable to Landlord and complying with any insurance specifications provided by Landlord.

The Smithsonian Institution, of which Tenant is a unit, as a trust instrumentality of the United States, is covered by the Federal Tort Claims Act. As such, the exclusive remedy for claims against Tenant for bodily injury, death and property damage due to negligence of Tenant or its employees is the Federal Tort Claims Act, which carries no limit of liability. The General Counsel of The Smithsonian Institution is authorized to settle all claims against Tenant for damage to property, personal injury or death caused by the negligent act or failure to act of an employee of Tenant in the course of his/her employment cognizable under the Federal Tort Claims Act, as amended; and in some instances, this may be the exclusive remedy.

Such access shall include, but not be limited to, the right to open floors, walls, ceilings, and building systems for the foregoing purposes. Other than where impractical in case of an emergency, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable opportunity to have a Tenants representative accompany Landlord during any access to the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section.
Section 7.11. No Liens. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics, laborers or materialmens liens to stand against the Project or Tenants interests in the Premises, this Lease, or the estate created hereby for any labor or materials furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed in or on the Premises by or at the direction or sufferance of Tenant. Landlord may condition the right of Tenant to do Tenants work or to do any other work which could result in a lien upon the Project or Tenants interests in the Premises, this Lease, or the estate created hereby on the delivery and recording of statutory lien bonds (if required by Landlords lender) or indemnities satisfactory to Landlord.
Section 7.12. Compliance with Rules and Regulations. Tenant covenants that all of its Invitees will comply with the Rules and Regulations and all other reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time hereafter promulgate to regulate the conduct generally of all the tenants of the Building.

Landlord shall plan the construction of any Addition and related staging in a manner reasonable under the circumstances to minimize (to the extent consistent with the efficient performance of such construction) any material interference with Tenants access to and/or use of the Premises during the performance of such construction, which planning shall include reasonable advance written notice to Tenant of Landlords construction activities which are likely to disturb Tenants ongoing experiments or lab work in the Premises to facilitate the taking of protective steps by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that, from time to time, dust, noise, vibrations, water leakage and interruptions to power and other utilities (including water and sewer) and/or inability to maintain the temperature in the Building at customary levels may, among other construction-related interference, occur in connection with the construction of an Addition. Tenant is responsible to safeguard, insure and protect adequately its property (including any sensitive electronic equipment and computers) during the construction process and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect damage or loss suffered by Tenant as a result of Landlords construction activities provided that they are undertaken in a manner consistent with this Section. Tenant shall notify Landlord if any such construction-related interference should occur. Upon receipt of written notice from Tenant, Landlord shall undertake those measures reasonable under the circumstances to minimize (to the extent consistent with the efficient performance of Landlords construction) any material interference with Tenants access and/or use of the Premises during the performance of any such construction by Landlord. Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement of rent or to claim any constructive eviction as a result of Landlords construction activities.

Within sixty (60) days after Tenant gives Landlord written notice of such casualty or Landlord otherwise becomes aware of such casualty, Landlord shall reasonably estimate, and give Tenant written notice of, the period commencing with the date of such notice (the Restoration Period) that Landlord anticipates will be reasonably required to perform the restoration work which is the responsibility of Landlord as provided below. If Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be longer than one year, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving to the other written notice of termination within ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such estimate. Such notice of termination shall be effective on the date thereof, and if Tenant is then occupying the Premises, Tenant shall thereafter have a reasonable period of time in which to vacate the Premises. If (i) Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be one year or shorter, or (ii) Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be longer than one year but neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease as set forth above, then this Lease shall not terminate; and in such event, Landlord shall, unless Landlord exercises its termination right pursuant to Section 10.3, with reasonable dispatch, repair or rebuild so much of the Premises as were originally constructed by Landlord to substantially their condition immediately prior to the casualty (subject, however, to Legal Requirements then in existence), and Tenant shall concurrently (to the extent practical and consistent with good construction practices) (i) repair and restore so much of the Premises as were constructed by Tenant or are the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease and (ii) repair and restore its fixtures and personal property (but only to the extent of the proceeds of insurance carried or required by this Lease to be carried by Tenant).
(b) If, pursuant to Section 10.1(a), Landlord is required to restore the Premises and Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration by the end of the Restoration Period (subject to extension for delays described in Section 10.1(c) and for Excusable Delay), then
45
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord. If Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration work within such thirty (30) day period, then this Lease shall terminate as of such thirtieth (30th) day.
(c) Landlord shall not be responsible for any delay in commencement of restoration which may result from delays in adjustment or collection of insurance proceeds. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 10.1 to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence repair or restoration work prior to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds, nor shall Landlord be required to expend sums in excess of net recovered insurance proceeds. The term net recovered insurance proceeds shall mean the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by Landlord, less the 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.
Section 10.2. Abatement of Rent. In the event that the provisions of Section 10.1 shall become applicable, the Base Rent, Tenants Project Share of Taxes and Project Operating Costs, and Tenants Building Share of Building Operating Costs shall be abated or reduced proportionately for the period in which, by reason of any such damage or destruction, there is substantial interference with the operation of the business of Tenant in the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue its business in the Premises, and such abatement or reduction shall continue (but may be adjusted from time to time based on the extent of the interference with Tenants operations) for the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with the substantial completion by Landlord of such work, repair and/or reconstruction as Landlord may do.
Section 10.3. Landlords Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may terminate this Lease following: (a) damage or destruction to the Premises to the extent of thirty (30%) or more of the cost of replacement thereof; or (b) the refusal of the applicable insurance carrier to pay funds sufficient for the cost to repair or replace or the refusal of any applicable mortgagee or ground lessor to release the insurance proceeds for such purposes. Landlord may exercise the right to so terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after the date of the damage or sixty (60) days after the date Landlord receives written notice of such damage, whichever is later. Such notice of termination shall be effective on the date thereof.
ARTICLE XI
EMINENT DOMAIN
Section 11.1. Eminent Domain; Right to Terminate and Abatement in Rent. If the Premises or any part thereof, or the whole or any substantial part of the Project, shall be taken, or if a conveyance shall be made in anticipation thereof, for any street or other public use, by action of the municipal, state, federal or other authorities, or shall receive any substantial direct or consequential damage for which Landlord or Tenant shall be entitled to compensation by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of any public authority, after the execution hereof and before the expiration of the Lease Term, then this Lease and the Lease Term shall terminate at the election of Landlord (given by written notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days of the taking or within ninety (90) days of notice of the taking to Landlord), and such election may be made in
46
case of any such taking notwithstanding the entire interest of Landlord may have been divested by such taking; and if Landlord does not so elect, then in case of any such taking or destruction of, or damage to, the Premises, rendering the same or any part thereof unfit for use and occupation, a just proportion of the Base Rent according to the nature and extent of the injury sustained by the Premises as determined by Landlord, shall be suspended or abated until the Premises or, in case of such taking, what may remain thereof, shall have been put in proper condition for use and occupation. To the extent that the Premises, upon having been put in proper condition for use and occupation are smaller, the Base Rent shall be reduced for the balance of the Lease Term in the same proportion which the reduction in space bears to the original Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, in the event of a taking of any portion of the Building, Tenants Share shall be recomputed.
Section 11.2. Restoration. If this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 11.1, Landlord shall apply so much of the available proceeds of the eminent domain award as are required to restore the Project and the Premises to a condition, to the extent practical, substantially the same as that immediately preceding the taking, but subject to zoning laws and building codes then in existence. If the available proceeds of the eminent domain award are insufficient, in Landlords judgment, for that purpose, Landlord shall have no obligation to expend funds in excess of said proceeds and Landlord shall have the right to select which portions of the Project, if any, shall be restored. 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 sixty (60) days after the taking, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Landlord.
Section 11.3. Landlord to Control Eminent Domain Action. Landlord reserves all rights to compensation for damage to the Premises or any part thereof, or the leasehold hereby created, heretofore accrued or hereafter to accrue, by reason of any taking for public use of the Premises or any portion thereof, or right appurtenant thereto, or privilege or easement in, through, under or over the same, and by way of confirmation of the foregoing Tenant hereby assigns all rights to such damages heretofore accrued or hereafter accruing during the Lease Term to Landlord. Provided, however, nothing herein contained shall limit Tenants right to any separate award for the taking of personal property, moving and other relocation expenses, or other items the payment of which shall not reduce the award payable to Landlord.
ARTICLE XII
DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
Section 12.1. Event of Default. As used herein, Event of Default shall mean the occurrence and/or existence of any one or more of the following: (a) (i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other amount due under this Lease on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice from Landlord thereof or (ii) Landlord having given the notice specified in the foregoing clause (a)(i) to Tenant twice in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall fail, on a third occasion within the twelve (12) months following the giving of the first such notice by Landlord, to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other amount
47
due under this Lease on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable; or (b) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the other covenants or undertakings herein on its part to be performed or observed and such neglect or failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant; provided, however, that if the default is other than a default under clause (a) above, or clauses (c) through (i) below, and is such that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, but is capable of being cured, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended by up to sixty (60) additional days provided that Tenant commences to cure such default within said thirty (30) day period, continues to do so diligently, and thereafter completes such cure within not more than ninety (90) days following the notice of default; or (c) there is filed by Tenant any case, petition, proceeding or other action under any Bankruptcy Law; or (d) any other proceedings shall be instituted against Tenant under any Bankruptcy Law and not be dismissed within sixty (60) days; or (e) Tenant shall execute an assignment of its property for the benefit of its creditors; or (f) a receiver, custodian or other similar officer for Tenant shall be appointed and not be discharged within sixty (60) days; or (g) the estate hereby created shall be taken by execution or by other process of law and is not redeemed by Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter; or (h) an assignment or sublease in violation of the terms of this Lease; or (i) any other event constituting an Event of Default under other Sections of this Lease.
Section 12.2. Landlords Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter (notwithstanding any license or waiver of any former breach or waiver of the benefit hereof, or consent in a former instance), and without further demand or notice, in person or by agent or attorney, enter the Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same as of its former estate, or terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, and in either event expel Tenant and those claiming through or under it and remove their effects (forcibly, if necessary) without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedy which might otherwise be used for arrears of Base Rent or Additional Rent or breach of covenant, and upon entry or written notice of termination, or automatic termination, both as aforesaid, this Lease shall terminate and Landlord, in addition to all other remedies which it may have at law or equity, and not in limitation thereof, shall have the remedies provided in this Article XII.
(b) If, pursuant to Section 12.2(a), Landlord terminates Tenants right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the remainder of the Lease Term the Base Rent and Additional Rent in installments as and when the same become due and payable, subject to reduction by any rent actually received by Landlord as a result of a re-letting of the Premises (net of the reasonable and customary costs of re-letting, including remodeling costs, brokerage commissions and attorneys fees). Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises to mitigate damages, and Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise for a term or terms which may, at Landlords option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and may grant concessions or free rent. 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
48
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 reasonable 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.
(d) Tenant will 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, and the cost of putting the Premises in good order or preparing the same for rental.
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. Tenant further agrees that, 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.
Section 12.4. Landlords Right to Perform Tenants Covenants. Tenant covenants and agrees that, if it 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
49
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, 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 (10) Business 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; provided, however, 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 agrees to 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 any of Tenants Invitees or any breach of this Lease by Tenant. Landlord agrees to pay all 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 thirty (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 are further subject to the provisions of
50
Articles X and XI dealing with eminent domain and fire and other casualty, and Section 6.3 dealing with interruption of services. If Landlord fails to cure any default by Landlord within the period provided above in this Section, Tenant may give Landlord an additional written notice confirming that the default has not been cured and that Tenant intends to cure such default, and, if Landlord fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after such notice, Tenant may, without waiving the default, take such steps as are reasonably appropriate to cure the default, recover from Landlord the reasonable cost of such cure, and, if Landlord concedes, or a court determines, Tenants right to recover such cost, setoff such cost against the Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease by reason of a default by Landlord, except as expressly provided herein.
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 hereby 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 three percent (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 five percent (5.0%) 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.

Tenant agrees that its 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.
52
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.

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.

No payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord of a 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.

The acceptance of a
53
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. Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable.

B. At the time the Lease was entered into, BHX, LLC, as Trustee of Acorn Park Holdings Realty Trust (Fee Owner), owned the fee simple interest in all of the land within the Project (the Project Land), and Original Landlord owned a leasehold interest in all of the Project Land pursuant to a Ground Lease (the Original Ground Lease) by Fee Owner and Original Landlord dated November 17, 2000.
C. On or about March 22, 2005, (i) Fee Owner and Original Landlord entered into a First Amendment of Ground Lease dated March 22, 2005, pursuant to which the Original Ground Lease was amended to release a portion of the Project Land, more particularly described in Exhibit 1 hereto (Parcel 100), on which the Building is situated, (ii) Fee Owner and Landlord entered into a Ground Lease dated March 22, 2005, pursuant to which Fee Owner leased Parcel 100 to Landlord, (iii) Fee Owner, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement dated March 22, 2005, pursuant to which, among other things, Tenant agreed to attorn to Fee Owner as landlord under the Lease, and (iv) Original Landlord and Landlord entered into an Assignment and Assumption of Landlords Interest in Lease, pursuant to which Original Landlord assigned to Landlord, and Landlord assumed, the rights and obligations of the landlord under the Lease.
