42. Termination Right. Tenant shall have the right, subject to the provisions of this Section 42, to terminate this Lease (“Termination Right”) with respect to the entire Original Premises and Expansion Premises only (and not any additional premises (e.g. the ROFR Space and/or the Second Floor Suite which may be leased by Tenant pursuant to any other provisions of the Lease) as of expiration of the 66th month after the Commencement Date (“Early Termination Date”), so long as Tenant delivers to Landlord (i) a written notice (“Termination Notice”), of its election to exercise its Termination Right no less than 12 months in advance of the Early Termination Date (“Final Notice Delivery Date”), and (ii) an early termination payment equal to the sum of (1) a termination fee in the amount of $5,000,000, plus (2) the unamortized amount of any outstanding Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance with interest as provided in Section 4(b) of the original Lease, plus (3) the unamortized amount of any outstanding Additional Expansion Premises Tenant Improvement Allowance with interest as provided in Section 5(c) of the Second Amendment (collectively, the “Early Termination Payment”).

If Tenant does not deliver to Landlord the Termination Notice and the Early Termination Payment within the time periods provided in this paragraph, then, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Termination Right and the provisions of this Section 42 shall have no further force or effect. In any case, if Tenant delivers a Termination Notice and the first 50% of the Early Termination Payment and subsequently fails to deliver the second 50% of the Early Termination Payment as required pursuant to this paragraph, such failure to deliver the second 50% of the Early Termination Payment shall constitute a Default under this Lease and Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease and applicable Legal Requirements in connection with such failure.”

As used herein, “Landlord Delay” shall mean any delay or failure to act by Landlord after the date hereof (other than a matter which qualifies as a Force Majeure or a delay by Tenant) solely to the extent such delay or failure actually causes or results in a delay in Substantial Completion of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements and may include, without limitation, Landlord’s failure to act within the time period required for such action pursuant to this Expansion Premises Work Letter, the failure by Landlord to substantially complete Landlord’s Work (including, without limitation, the Required Systems are not in good working order) no less than 30 days prior to the date of Substantial Completion of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements, and the failure of by Landlord to cooperate with Tenant and its contractors in connection with Tenant’s construction of Tenant’s Work including reasonable access to the Expansion Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the performance of Landlord’s Work and the cooperation and related coordination which Tenant is required under this Lease to provide in connection therewith shall under no circumstances constitute a Landlord Delay. The general contractor for Landlord’s Work shall, after consultation with the general contractor for the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements, make the determination regarding the date on which Substantial Completion of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements would have occurred but for any Landlord Delay. In no event shall a Landlord Delay commence until Landlord receives written notice from Tenant notifying Landlord of the existence of such Landlord Delay; provided,

 

 

B-3


that Tenant may give written notice to Landlord on the last day of any applicable time period within which Landlord is required to act, and if Landlord does not perform the action required on that day, Tenant shall be deemed to have given Landlord notice of the existence of such Landlord Delay.

4. Changes. Any changes requested by Tenant to Tenant’s Work after the delivery and approval by Landlord of the TI Design Drawings, shall be requested and instituted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 and shall be subject to the written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(a) Tenant’s Right to Request Changes. If Tenant shall request changes (“Changes”), Tenant shall request such Changes by notifying Landlord in writing in substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “Change Request”), which Change Request shall detail the nature and extent of any such Change. Such Change Request must be signed by Tenant’s Representative. Landlord shall review and approve or disapprove such Change Request within 5 business days thereafter, provided that Landlord’s approval of a Change Request (i) relating to the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) relating to the Landlord’s Work shall be in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

(b) Implementation of Changes. If Landlord approves such Change, Tenant may cause the approved Change to be instituted. If any TI Permit modification or change is required as a result of such Change, Tenant shall promptly provide Landlord with a copy of such TI Permit modification or change.

 

  5.

Costs.

(a) Budget For Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements. Before the commencement of construction of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall obtain a detailed breakdown, by trade, of the costs incurred or that will be incurred, in connection with the design and construction of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements (the “Budget”), and deliver a copy of the Budget to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Budget shall be based on the TI Construction Drawings approved by Landlord and shall include (i) a payment to the Construction Manager equal to 4% of the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as hereinafter defined) (the “Construction Management Fee”), and (ii) a payment to Landlord of administrative rent (“Administrative Rent”) equal to 1% of the TI Costs, for monitoring and inspecting the construction of Tenant’s Work as more particularly described in the immediately following sentence, all of which shall be payable from the TI Fund. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide the following services in connection with the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements: (x) attend design and construction meetings for the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements, (y) process Tenant’s draw requests for disbursement of funds from the Expansion Premises TI Allowance, and (iii) assist the Tenant Improvement design and construction team in coordination with Landlord’s Work design and construction team. Such Administrative Rent shall include, without limitation, all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred by or on behalf of Landlord arising from, out of, or in connection with, such monitoring of the construction of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements.

(b) Expansion Premises TI Allowance. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance (collectively, the “Expansion Premises TI Allowance”) for the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements as follows:

1. a “Expansion Premises Tenant Improvement Allowance” in the maximum amount of $110.00 per rentable square foot in the Expansion Premises; and

2. to the extent elected to be used by Tenant, an “Expansion Premises Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance” in the maximum amount of $20.00 per rentable square foot in the Expansion Premises, which shall, to the extent used, result in the payment of Expansion

 

 

B-4


Premises TI Rent as set forth in the Section 5(c) of the Second Amendment. Within 10 business days of approval of the Budget from Landlord, Tenant shall notify Landlord how much of the Additional Tenant Improvement Allowance Tenant has elected to receive from Landlord. Such election shall be final and binding on Tenant, and may not thereafter be modified without Landlord’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute subjective discretion.

The Expansion Premises TI Allowance shall be disbursed in accordance with this Expansion Premises Work Letter. Tenant shall have no right to the use or benefit (including any reduction to Base Rent) of any portion of the Expansion Premises TI Allowance not required for the construction of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements described in the TI Construction Drawings approved pursuant to Section 2(d) or (iii) any Changes pursuant to Section 4. Tenant shall have no right to any portion of the Expansion Premises TI Allowance that is not disbursed before the last day of the month that is 12 months after the date of the Second Amendment.

(c) Costs Includable in TI Fund. The TI Fund shall be used solely for the payment of design, permits and construction costs in connection with the construction of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, the cost of electrical power and other utilities used in connection with the construction of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements (and Landlord agrees to equitably allocate the cost of electrical power and other utilities between Landlord and Tenant based on reasonable estimates of the usage of such electrical power and other utilities by the parties in connection with their respective construction activities at the Project), the cost of preparing the TI Design Drawings and the TI Construction Drawings, all costs set forth in the Budget, including the Construction Management Fee, Landlord’s Administrative Rent, and the cost of Changes (collectively, “TI Costs”). The TI Fund shall not be used to purchase any furniture, personal property or other non-Building system materials or equipment, including, but not limited to, non-ducted biological safety cabinets and other scientific equipment not incorporated into the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements.

(d) Excess Costs. Landlord shall have no obligation to bear any portion of the cost of any of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements except to the extent of the Expansion Premises TI Allowance. If at any time and from time-to-time, the remaining TI Costs under the Budget exceed the remaining unexpended Expansion Premises TI Allowance (collectively, “Excess Costs”), Tenant shall be required to pay any such Excess Costs, as a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to fund the unexpended Expansion Premises TI Allowance. If Tenant fails to pay such Excess Costs as required by the immediately preceding sentence, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies set forth in the Lease for nonpayment of Rent (including, but not limited to, the right to interest at the Default Rate and the right to assess a late charge). For purposes of any litigation instituted with regard to such amounts, those amounts will be deemed Rent under the Lease. The Expansion Premises TI Allowance and Excess Costs are herein collectively referred to as the “TI Fund.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5(d), Tenant shall be fully and solely liable for costs for all TI Costs and the cost of Minor Variations in excess of the Expansion Premises TI Allowance.

(e) Payment for TI Costs. During the course of design and construction of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements, following the payment by Tenant of any Excess Costs pursuant to Section 5(d) above, Landlord shall pay TI Costs directly to the general contractor (unless otherwise directed by Tenant to other contractors) performing Tenant’s Work once a month against a draw request in Landlord’s standard form, accompanied by the following documents (i) invoices reflecting the TI Costs incurred by Tenant, (ii) certifications from Tenant’s architect or construction manager that the portion of Tenant’s Work reflected in the invoices has been completed, and (iii) lien waivers from the general contractor (including a conditional lien release for each progress payment and unconditional lien releases for the prior month’s progress payments), inspection reports and other matters as Landlord customarily obtains, which TI Costs shall be paid by Landlord no later than 30 days following receipt of such draw request and required documentation. Upon completion of the Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements (and prior to any disbursement of the final 10% of the Expansion Premises TI Allowance), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord: (i) certificates from Tenant’s construction manager setting forth the names of all

 

 

B-5


contractors and first tier subcontractors who did the work and final, unconditional lien waivers from all such contractors and first tier subcontractors; (ii) as-built plans (one copy in print format and two copies in electronic CAD format) for such Expansion Premises Tenant Improvements; (iii) a certification of substantial completion in Form AIA G704, (iv) a certificate of occupancy for the Expansion Premises; and (v) copies of all operation and maintenance manuals and warranties for the Tenant’s Work.

 

  6.

Miscellaneous.

(a) Consents. Whenever consent or approval of either party is required under this Expansion Premises Work Letter, that party shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent or approval, except as may be expressly set forth herein to the contrary.
