The effective date of this Ninth Amendment shall be February 10, 2011 (the “Ninth Amendment Effective Date”).

 

I.Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to extend the expiry of the Lease Term by twelve (12) months to become July 31, 2013. Monthly Base Rent shall continue to increase three percent (3%) annually, effective every June 30 as defined in Section 3 of the Seventh Amendment.

 

II.Landlord has invoked its Vivarium Relocation Right described in the Eighth Amendment to require Tenant's animal holding and procedure room functions to be relocated in full to the EmeryStation East Building located at 5885 Hollis Street. Tenant has fully accepted the New Vivarium Space in the EmeryStation East building. Tenant agrees to complete its ESE Relocation in full on or before February 26, 2011. Failure to do so shall constitute a Default under the Lease.

 

III.Pursuant to the terms of the Eighth Amendment, Landlord elected Landlord's Existing Vivarium Option 2 such that the Existing Vivarium Space remains a portion of Tenant's Premises, which Premises measures 15,454 rentable square feet prior to any reductions in size described in Section IV below.

 

IV.In consideration of Tenant's agreement to extend the Lease term pursuant to Section I above, Landlord and Tenant agree reduce Tenant's Premises as follows:

 

 
 

 

a)On or before 5 p.m. March 27, 2011 (the “Suite 460 Give-Back Date”), Tenant shall vacate the 2,559 rentable square foot Suite 460 as identified on Exhibit A attached hereto, surrendering the space back to Landlord on or before that date in broom-clean condition including a full decontamination and decommissioning thereof by a qualified third-party firm experienced in such work, such decontamination and decommissioning being evidenced by a written report supplied to Landlord (the “Tenant Suite 460 Give-Back”). Tenant's failure to accomplish Tenant's Suite 460 Give-Back on or before the Suite 460 Give-Back Date shall constitute a Default under the Lease. So long as Tenant has accomplished Tenant's Suite 460 Give-Back by the Suite 460 Give-Back Date, effective March 28, 2011 Tenant's Premises shall be reduced by 2,559 rentable square feet, its Monthly Base Rent shall be reduced to $38,118.89, and Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be adjusted pro-rata to reflect the deletion of Suite 460 from the overall Premises.
   
b)On or before 5 p.m. March 27, 2011 (the “Suite 400 Give-Back Date”), Tenant shall vacate the 2,910 rentable square foot Suite 400 as identified on Exhibit A attached hereto, surrendering the space back to Landlord on or before that date in broom-clean condition (the “Tenant Suite 400 Give-Back”).
