A G R E E M E N T
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor and Assignee agreed as follows:
1.    Assignment and Assumption. Assignor hereby assigns to Assignee as of the Assignment Date (as such term is defined in Section 2 below) all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the Lease, the Leased Premises and the SNDA (including all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to any rents as already have been paid by Assignor pursuant to the Lease) and Assignee, as of the Assignment Date, hereby accepts such assignment, assumes all of Assignor’s obligations under the Lease and the SNDA, agrees to be bound by all of the provisions thereof and to perform all of the obligations of the tenant thereunder, all from and after the Assignment Date. Such assignment and assumption is made upon, and is subject to, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Assignment.
2.    Effectiveness Contingent Upon Landlord's Consent. Assignor and Assignee expressly acknowledge and agree that this Assignment is subject to, and shall not be effective unless and until the occurrence of, the mutual execution and delivery by Assignor, Assignee, Landlord and the Administrative Agent of that certain Consent To Assignment And Third Amendment to Lease (the “Consent and Amendment”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the date of such mutual execution and delivery of the Consent and Amendment being referred to herein the “Assignment Date”).
3.    Condition of Leased Premises. The Leased Premises shall be delivered upon the Assignment Date by Assignor to Assignee in their “as is” and “with all faults” condition with all fixtures, equipment and leasehold improvements located thereon. As of the Assignment Date all of such fixtures and equipment owned by Assignor shall be and become the property of Assignee, and Assignor grants, sells, conveys, assigns and transfers to Assignee all of Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to such fixtures and equipment owned by Assignor, free of all encumbrances except for such rights as the Landlord may have in the same as provided in the Lease.
4.    Security Deposit. Assignor hereby confirms that the terms and conditions of Section 3.7(a) of the original lease have been fully satisfied and performed and that Landlord does not hold any security deposit funds for the benefit of Assignor.
5.    Assignment of Tenant Improvements. Assignor hereby assigns to Assignee all of Assignor’s right title and interest in the existing cabling and laboratory Alternations (not forming part of the original tenant improvements performed pursuant to Exhibit B work letter of the Lease) together with any surrender obligations with respect to the same.
6.    Standards of Landlord’s Consent. Assignor and Assignee agree that if Assignor and Assignee desire to assign the Lease, Landlord shall consent or withhold its consent based upon standards then in effect under applicable law. In the event Landlord withholds or conditions its consent and Assignor and Assignee believe that Landlord does so contrary to applicable law, Assignor may prosecute an action for declaratory relief to determine if Landlord properly withheld or conditioned its consent. In any such action, each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees.
7.    Further Assurances. Assignor and Assignee hereby covenant that each will, at any time and from time to time upon request by the other, and without the assumption of any additional liability thereby, execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts as such party may reasonably request in order to fully effect the purpose of this Assignment. Assignor and Assignee each consent to and agree to fully cooperate with the other, Landlord and Administrative Agent, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors in the other’s efforts, if any, to give effect to the terms of this Assignment.

9.    Liability of Parties. Assignor shall be liable for any and all obligations and liabilities arising or accruing under the Lease and the SNDA up to the date immediately preceding the date of actual assignment of the Lease and the SNDA to Assignee upon the Assignment Date. As of the Assignment Date, Assignee shall be liable for any and all obligations and liabilities that arise or accrue under the Lease and the SNDA for the period commencing upon the Assignment Date

As of the Assignment Date, Assignor shall not be responsible for any liability arising or accruing out of Assignee’s leasehold interest in the Lease, or growing out of or in connection with the Leased Premises, or Assignee’s interest in the SNDA.    
10.    Grant of Indemnity. Assignor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Assignee from and against any and all claims made by, through or under Assignor, Landlord, Administrative Agent, or others arising out of Assignor’s leasehold interest in the Lease, or growing out of or in connection with the Leased Premises, or Assignor’s interest in the SNDA, for the period that Assignor is “tenant” under the Lease up to the date that immediately precedes the Assignment Date. Defense of any such claim shall be provided by legal counsel selected by Assignor and reasonably satisfactory to Assignee at Assignor’s cost and expense.
