-18-


Tenant’s Pro Rata Laboratory Share of the Laboratory Expenses, and/or the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Taxes was incorrect, then Landlord may provide Tenant with a revised estimate thereof.

If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Expenses, the Tenant’s Pro Rata Laboratory Expenses, or of the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Taxes prior to the commencement of a calendar year or Fiscal year, as applicable, then, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous year’s estimate(s) until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate.

If the amount paid on account of the estimated Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Expenses estimated Tenant’s Pro Rata Laboratory Share of Laboratory Expenses, and/or estimated Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Taxes for the prior calendar year or Fiscal Year, as applicable, is less than the actual Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Expenses, the actual Tenant’s Pro Rata Laboratory Share of Laboratory Expenses and/or actual Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Taxes, as the case may be, for such prior year, then Tenant shall pay Landlord, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Statement of Expenses, Laboratory Expenses and/or Taxes, the amount of such underpayment.

Section 4.6    Audit. Each Statement sent to Tenant shall constitute an account stated between Landlord and Tenant and shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant unless Tenant (i) pays to Landlord when due the amount set forth in such Statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s right to audit such Statement, and (ii) within one hundred eighty (180) days after such Statement is delivered, sends a written notice to Landlord objecting to such Statement. Tenant and all auditors, representatives, contractors, agents, and other third parties involved on behalf of Tenant in any review, audit or dispute concerning Expenses, Laboratory Expenses, or Taxes shall execute and deliver to Landlord a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, whereby such parties agree not to disclose to any third party any of the information obtained in connection with such review. Tenant agrees that Tenant will not employ, in connection with any review, audit or dispute under this Lease, any person or entity who is to be compensated in whole or in part, on a contingency fee basis. If Tenant satisfies the foregoing conditions precedent, then Tenant may review or audit the Expenses, Laboratory Expenses or Taxes (as applicable) for the subject calendar year or Fiscal Year, as applicable. If the parties are unable to resolve any dispute as to the correctness of such Statement within thirty (30) days following the review or audit performed by Tenant, then either party may refer the issues raised by such review or audit to a nationally recognized public accounting firm selected by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, and the decision of such accountants shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Landlord shall not select an accounting firm with which either party has contracted with over the immediately preceding five (5) years. If said accountants shall determine that Tenant shall have made any payment in excess of the amount properly due hereunder, such excess amount shall be refunded to Tenant by Landlord promptly after said accountants shall have rendered their decision and if such accountants shall determine that Tenant shall have underpaid the amount properly due hereunder such under-payment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly after said accountants shall have rendered their decision. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses relating to its audit, unless its accountants determine that Landlord overstated Expenses, Laboratory Expenses, or Taxes by more than five percent (5%) for such calendar year or Fiscal Year, as applicable, in which case Landlord shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall split equally the fees of the third party auditor hired by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant to resolve the dispute. Except as provided in this Section 4.6, Tenant shall have no right whatsoever to dispute by judicial proceeding or otherwise the accuracy of any Statement.

Compliance with Laws; Use

Section 5.1    Permitted Use. The Premises shall be used only for the Permitted Use and for no other use, of any kind, whatsoever. Without limitation, Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the Premises (including, without limitation, the Tenant Materials Storage Area, the Rooftop Area and/or the Penthouse Area) for any purpose which is illegal, dangerous to persons or property or which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, unreasonably disturbs any other tenants of the Building or interferes with the operation of the Building. From and after the delivery of the Premises to Tenant, Tenant shall cause the Premises to comply with all applicable Laws. In addition, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, comply with all Laws regarding the operation of Tenant’s business in the Premises and the use, condition, configuration and occupancy of the Premises, to the extent such obligations arise out of or result from (i) the specific manner and nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, as distinct from general office and

laboratory use, (ii) Alterations made by Tenant, or (iii) a breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall be solely responsible for procuring and complying at all times with any and all necessary permits and approvals directly or indirectly relating or incident to the conduct of its activities on the Premises, including without limitation any scientific activities, transportation, storage, handling, use and disposal of any chemical or biological substances or organisms and/or animals or laboratory specimens. Landlord will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the efforts of Tenant to obtain permits or approvals; provided, however, Landlord will not be required to incur any costs, expenses, liabilities or obligations in connection therewith. Promptly after receipt, Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of any notices it receives regarding a violation or alleged violation by Tenant of any Laws. Without limitation, Landlord may elect, at any time and from time to time, to undertake greenhouse gas production monitoring and testing, including, without limitation, testing within the Premises.

Tenant shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Building attached to this Lease as Exhibit F as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented by Landlord from time to time, together with such other reasonable rules and regulations of general applicability adopted by Landlord from time to time (collectively, the “Rules and Regulations”). Nothing contained in this Lease shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease against any other tenant of the Building, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its employees, agents, visitors or licensees, provided that Landlord shall enforce the Rules and Regulations against Tenant in a non-discriminatory fashion, except where differing circumstances justify different treatments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event of a conflict between the Rules and Regulations and this Lease, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall control.

Section 5.3    Hazardous Materials.

(a)    “Hazardous Materials” shall mean any substance which is or may hereafter be classified as a hazardous material, waste or substance under federal, state or local laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq.; the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, 49 U.S.C. §1801, et seq.; the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. §1251, et seq.; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §6901, et seq.; the Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §300, et seq.; the Toxic Substances Control Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §2601, et seq.; the Federal Hazardous Substances Control Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. §1261, et seq.; the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §651, et seq.; and Massachusetts General Laws, Chapters 21C, 21D and 21E; and the rules and regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing, as such laws, rules and regulations may be amended from time to time (collectively “Hazardous Materials Laws”). Landlord represents to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, to its actual knowledge, there are no Hazardous Materials on the Property (including the Premises), excepting only such materials and substances as (i) are stored or used in accordance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, and (ii) are ordinarily and customarily used or located in comparable first-class Buildings. Landlord agrees that if (x)

 

-24-


Hazardous Materials are discovered to have been in the Premises as of the Effective Date, and (y) as of the Effective Date such substances or materials were deemed pursuant to applicable Hazardous Materials Laws to constitute Hazardous Materials, then Landlord shall be solely responsible for the removal or remediation thereof in accordance with then-current industry customs and practices and all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws.

(b)    “Permitted Hazardous Materials” shall mean the types of quantities of Hazardous Materials which are listed on the schedule of Tenant’s Hazardous Materials attached hereto as Exhibit H. Without limitation, all Hazardous Materials brought into the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant shall at all times be brought to, kept at or used in so-called ‘control areas’ and in accordance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws and prudent environmental practice and good scientific practice. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, bring or permit to be brought to or kept at, in or on the Premises, any Hazardous Material (excepting only Permitted Hazardous Materials). Provided Landlord complies with the terms of Section 8.1 hereof, Landlord may elect, from time to time, to inspect the Premises for compliance with the terms of this Section 5.3. With respect to any Hazardous Materials brought or introduced by Tenant in or on the Premises, or kept at or in the Premises, Tenant shall (i) not permit any such Hazardous Materials to be discharged, to escape, be released or be disposed in or about the Premises, and (ii) within five (5) business days of Landlord’s reasonable request, provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s compliance with all applicable Hazardous Materials Laws, including copies of all licenses, permits and registrations that have not been previously provided to Landlord. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that at no time during the Term will Tenant bring upon, or permit to be brought upon, the Premises any radioactive materials, of any kind, whatsoever. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of any release or discharge of any Hazardous Materials, or of any incident in, on or about the Premises that would require the filing of a notice or other filing with a governmental agency or authority pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant shall be responsible for assuring that any laboratory uses are adequately and properly vented.

(c)    Concurrent with the execution of this Lease, Tenant has completed and delivered to Landlord an Environmental Questionnaire (the “Environmental Questionnaire”) in the form attached to this Lease as Exhibit I. On or before each anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall submit to Landlord (x) an updated Environmental Questionnaire, and (y) an updated list of Hazardous Materials used or located in the Premises. Prior to bringing any Hazardous Materials into any part of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the following information with respect thereto: (a) a description of handling, storage, use and disposal procedures; (b) all disclosures and/or emergency response plans which Tenant has prepared, and all plans which Tenant is required to supply to any governmental agency or authority pursuant to any Hazardous Materials Laws; and (c) other information reasonably related thereto by Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for all disposal services with respect to Hazardous Materials generated, transported or used by Tenant. Such disposal services shall be performed by qualified and licensed contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord and on a sufficiently frequent basis to ensure that the Premises are at all times kept neat, clean and free of Hazardous Materials except in the “control areas.” If any Law or the trash removal company requires that any substances be disposed of separately from ordinary trash, Tenant shall make arrangements, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for such disposal directly with a qualified and licensed disposal company, at a lawful disposal site.

 

-25-


(d)    If any mortgagee or governmental authority requires testing to determine whether there has been any discharge or release of Hazardous Material(s) arising out of or resulting from the business operations of Tenant in the Premises, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand, as Additional Rent, for the commercially reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such testing. If and to the extent any Hazardous Materials are released or discharged arising out of or resulting from the operations of Tenant in the Premises, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all out of pocket costs incurred by Landlord as a result of such release or discharge, including Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. All such amounts shall be payable by Tenant, as Additional Rent, within thirty (30) days after the delivery to Tenant of Landlord’s invoice therefor. Tenant shall execute such affidavits, certifications and other commercially reasonable documents, as may be reasonably requested by Landlord from time to time concerning the presence of Hazardous Materials at, in or, on or under the Premises, and/or arising out of or resulting from the operations of Tenant in the Premises. From time to time during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall provide Landlord with such evidence of Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Section 5.3 as Landlord may reasonably request, which request shall not be made more frequently than one time per calendar year unless otherwise required by a governmental authority or Landlord has a good faith reasonable basis to believe that a release or discharge of a Hazardous Material has occurred at or upon the Premises. Landlord may elect, from time-to-time, at Landlord’s cost and expense, to obtain a report or reports (each, a “Landlord’s Report”) addressed to Landlord by a licensed environmental engineer or certified industrial hygienist, setting forth the current condition of the Premises with respect to Tenant’s use, storage and disposal of Hazardous Materials; provided, however, if Landlord’s Report concludes that Tenant has failed to comply with the standards set forth in this Section 5.3, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the costs of such Landlord’s Report, upon demand, as Additional Rent, and Tenant shall correct such failure as expeditiously as possible.

(e)    Prior to the Expiration Date or any early termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all Hazardous Materials from the Premises, and shall clean and decommission all interior surfaces (including all floors, walls, ceilings, and counters), piping, supply lines, waste lines and plumbing in or serving the Premises, and all exhaust or other ductwork in or serving the Premises; provided, however, if and to the extent that a qualified licensed environmental consultant or industrial hygienist (mutually acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant) certifies to Landlord that (x) the activities of Tenant have not generated Hazardous Materials which are present in the piping, supply lines, waste lines and/or plumbing serving the Premises, and (y) the cleaning of piping, supply lines, waste lines and/or plumbing serving the Premises is not necessary or advisable as a result of Tenant’s activities in the Premises, then Tenant shall not be obligated to clean and decommission the respective piping, supply lines, waste lines and/or plumbing serving the Premises. Tenant shall provide to Landlord reasonably satisfactory evidence of the completion of such removal, cleaning and decommissioning not later than thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease. Without limitation, such evidence may include, if requested by Landlord, a reasonably satisfactory report (a “Decommissioning Report”) prepared by a qualified licensed environmental consultant or industrial hygienist (selected by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant), confirming such removal, cleaning and decommissioning, and setting forth in reasonable detail the clean-up measures, the clean-up locations, the tests run and the analytic results.

(f)    Excepting only to the extent otherwise provided in M.G.L. Chapter 186, Section 15, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord and each of the Landlord Related Parties harmless from and against any and all claims against any of the Landlord or the Landlord Related Parties arising out of or resulting from any contamination of any part of the Property or other adjacent property, which contamination arises out or results from: (i) the presence, transport, discharge, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials arising out of or resulting from the operations of Tenant in the Premises, or (ii) from any breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Section 5.3. The foregoing indemnification of Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties by Tenant shall include, without limitation, all out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any review or investigation of site conditions, any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work, and/or any other response action required by any federal, state or local governmental agency.

(g)    Any use or storage of Hazardous Materials by Tenant permitted pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall not exceed Tenant’s Pro Rata Share (measured on a per floor basis) of similarly classed Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant or anyone claiming by through or under Tenant perform work above the risk category Biosafety Level 2 as established by the Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) and as further described in the DHHS publication Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (5th Edition) (as it may be or may have been further revised, the “BMBL”) or such comparable nationally recognized standards as Landlord may reasonable designate. Tenant shall comply with all applicable provisions of the standards of the BMBL to the extent applicable to Tenant’s operations in the Premises.

(h)    The obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this Section 5.3 shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease.

Section 5.4    Landlord’s Compliance. Landlord shall cause the Common Areas of the Building to comply with all applicable Laws to the extent that non-compliance (i) would materially impair Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Uses; or (ii) would adversely restrict Tenant’s access to the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to contest in good faith any alleged violation of applicable Laws, including the right to apply for and obtain a waiver or deferment of compliance, the right to assert any and all defenses allowed at law or in equity, and the right to appeal any decisions, judgments or rulings to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Section 5.5    Additional Tenant Covenants.

(a)    Tenant shall not install, operate or maintain in the Premises or in any other area of the Building, any electrical equipment which does not bear the U/L (Underwriters Laboratories) seal of approval, or which would overload the electrical system or any part thereof in excess of its capacity for proper, efficient and safe operation (as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion), taking into consideration the overall electrical system and the present and future requirements of the Building. All operators acting by or on behalf of Tenant who travel outside

(c)    Tenant shall establish and maintain a chemical safety program administered by a licensed, qualified individual in accordance with the requirements of the MWRA, if applicable, and any other applicable governmental authority. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred in connection with said chemical safety program. Tenant shall provide Landlord with such documentation as Landlord may reasonably require evidencing Tenant’s compliance with the requirements of the MWRA Permit and any other applicable governmental authority with respect to such chemical safety program. Tenant shall not introduce any substances or materials into the pH neutralization system, if any, (x) which are in violation of the terms of the MWRA Permit, (y) which are in violation of applicable Laws, or (z) which would interfere with the proper functioning of the pH neutralization system.

(d)    Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) cause the Premises to be cleaned, in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (ii) cause the Premises to be exterminated with such frequency and in such manner as to prevent the existence of vermin or other infestation, (iii) cause all portions of the Premises used for the storage, preparation or consumption of food or beverages, if any, to be cleaned daily in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (iv) cause Tenant’s garbage and other refuse to be removed from the Premises, at such times and from such place as Landlord shall designate. Until removed, Tenant’s garbage and trash shall be kept in a neat and orderly condition, properly bagged or in the case of packing boxes and cartons, securely tied, in such place designated by Landlord. Tenant shall cause its employees, agents, contractors and business visitors to observe such additional rules and regulations regarding rubbish removal and/or recycling as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably impose. Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant fails to perform the foregoing obligations, then Landlord may elect, to cause a contractor or contractors employed by Landlord to perform the same at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, such payment to be Additional Rent payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days after rendition of a bill therefor by Landlord.

Notwithstanding the forgoing or any other provision contained in this Lease, in no event shall Tenant use electricity, gas, water or any other utilities in excess of the respective per floor limitations and capacities set forth on the Utility Capacity Matrix attached to this Lease as Exhibit K. Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, for all utilities furnished to or used within the Premises, including, without limitation, air flow, electricity, water, gas and any other utility usage. Tenant will install separate meters to measure air flow, electricity, water, gas and all other utilities used and consumed in the Premises. Said separate meters may be a submeter, or a check meter. Any meter so installed may, at Landlord’s option, be a “smart meter.” Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all fees and charges for such utilities provided to the Premises, based on the amounts shown on each such meter plus any fee applicable for reading, maintaining and/or replacing said meter. The rates to be paid by Tenant to Landlord for such utilities shall be with no mark-up by or profit to Landlord. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall report to Landlord Tenant’s usage as measured by said meters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any meter(s) is (or are) not installed or in good working order, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the charges for Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s usage of the utility until the applicable meter(s) is (or are) installed or repaired and in good working order.

-29-


such alterations or improvements are completed, and Landlord shall not be liable for any such suspension or interruption of services. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use as a result of any such suspension or interruption of service. The exercise of any such right or the occurrence of any such failure by Landlord shall not constitute an actual or constructive eviction, in whole or in part, or, except as expressly set forth in Section 6.4 below, entitle Tenant to any compensation, abatement or diminution of Rent, relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease, or impose any liability upon Landlord or Landlord’s Agent by reason of inconvenience to Tenant, or interruption of Tenant’s business, or otherwise. Landlord shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any failure, defect or interruption of, or change in the supply, character and/or quantity of electric service furnished to the Premises for any reason except only to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.

Section 6.4    Essential Service Interruptions; Freight Elevator Service Interruptions. If Tenant is unable despite its good faith commercially diligent efforts to use the Premises for the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business due solely to an interruption of an Essential Service (as hereinafter defined) which Landlord is required to provide hereunder, other than as a result of casualty or condemnation and/or Force Majeure, and such condition continues for a period of longer than seven (7) consecutive Business Days after Tenant furnishes a notice to Landlord (the “Essential Service Abatement Notice”) identifying the condition and Essential Service which has been interrupted and stating that Tenant’s inability to use the Premises is solely due to such condition, provided that (i) Tenant does not actually use or occupy the Premises during such seven (7) consecutive Business Day period, and (ii) such condition has not resulted from the negligence or misconduct of Tenant or any subtenants or occupants of the Premises, and/or their respective agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, invitees or licensees, then Rent shall be abated on a per diem basis for the period (the “Essential Service Abatement Period”) commencing on the eighth (8th) Business Day after Tenant delivers the Essential Service Abatement Notice to Landlord and ending on the earlier of (x) the date Tenant reoccupies the Premises, or (y) the date on which such condition is substantially remedied. “Essential Service” shall mean the following services, but only to the extent that Landlord is required to provide such services to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease and if not provided the absence of such service shall materially and adversely affect the use of the Premises for the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business: HVAC service; electrical service; passenger elevator service; water and sewer service, the PH neutralization system, and the tepid water system.

If, after the Freight Elevator Operation Date, Tenant is unable despite its good faith commercially diligent efforts to use the Premises for the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business due solely to an interruption of the operation of the Freight Elevator, other than as a result of casualty or condemnation and/or Force Majeure, the absence of such Freight Elevator service materially and adversely affects the use of the Premises for the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business, and such condition continues for a period of longer than nine (9) consecutive Business Days after Tenant furnishes a notice to Landlord (the “Freight Elevator Service Abatement Notice”) stating that Tenant’s inability to use the Premises is solely due to such condition, provided that (i) Tenant does not actually use or occupy the Premises during such nine (9) consecutive Business Day period, and (ii) such condition has not resulted from the negligence or misconduct of Tenant or any subtenants or occupants of the Premises, and/or their respective

 

-30-


agents, contractors, subcontractors, employees, invitees or licensees, then Rent shall be abated on a per diem basis for the period (the “Freight Elevator Abatement Period”) commencing on the tenth (10th) Business Day after Tenant delivers the Freight Elevator Abatement Notice to Landlord and ending on the earlier of (x) the date Tenant reoccupies the Premises, or (y) the date on which such condition is substantially remedied.

The foregoing rent abatements shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of Tenant on account of such interruption or lack of service and Landlord shall have no further liabilities or obligations to Tenant on account thereof.

Section 6.5    No Other Services. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article 6, Landlord shall not be required to furnish any other services to the Premises. The obligations of Landlord which are set forth in this Article 6 shall be subject to Force Majeure and to the terms and conditions of this Lease, including Articles 13 and 14.

Section 6.6    Conservation Requirements. (a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the services and utilities to be provided by Landlord under this Lease, and the obligations and responsibilities of Landlord in connection therewith, shall be subject to such energy, water or other conservation controls, limitations, or requirements (whether mandatory or voluntary) of general applicability to comparable mixed-use office and laboratory buildings imposed or issued by applicable governmental agencies or authorities, or public utilities or insurance carriers, including, without limitation, controls, limitations or requirements concerning the permitted range of temperature settings or imposing limitations or restrictions on the volume of energy consumption; provided the same shall not materially and adversely interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use. If and to the extent required to comply with such energy, water or other conservation controls, limitations, or requirements (whether mandatory or voluntary) of general applicability to comparable office buildings issued by applicable governmental agencies or authorities, or public utilities or insurance carriers, Landlord shall not be deemed in violation of the terms and conditions of this Lease for the duration of such controls or requirements and the compliance by Landlord with such controls, limitations, or requirements shall not be considered an eviction, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises and shall not entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or to an abatement or reduction of any rent payable hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to any such controls, limitations, or requirements that are voluntary rather than mandatory, the exculpation afforded by the foregoing clauses shall not be applicable unless comparable first-class mixed-use office and laboratory buildings in the city in which the Building is located have generally instituted similar controls, limitations, or requirements.

(b)    Landlord shall provide and install bulbs and tubes for Building standard lighting fixtures within the Premises and replacement tubes for such lighting, and the cost of such bulbs and tubes, together with the costs for replacement bulbs and tubes in the premises of other tenants of the Building, shall be included in Expenses; provided, however, (x) the cost of replacement of any specialty bulbs or tubes installed by Landlord at Tenant’s request and the costs of ballasts replaced by Landlord in the Premises shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent, and (y) the cost of replacement of specialty bulbs or tubes of other tenants or ballasts replaced in other premises shall not be included in Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may elect to cease generally providing replacement of standard bulbs and tubes for

 

-31-


tenants of the Building, in which event Tenant shall pay Landlord for such replacements as it requests as Additional Rent and the cost of replacements for Tenant and other tenants of the Building shall cease to be included in Expenses.

(e)    Tenant, at its expense, shall discharge and release any lien, encumbrance, or charge recorded or filed against the Building and/or the Property in connection with any work performed or claimed to have been performed by or on behalf of Tenant, or materials or services furnished or claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof. Such discharge shall be affected by discharge whether by payment or filing of a bond in accordance with applicable Laws. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may bond, insure over or otherwise discharge the lien. In such event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including, without limitation, bonding costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(f)    Tenant shall not employ, or permit the employment of, any contractor, mechanic or laborer, or permit any materials to be delivered to or used in the Premises and/or the Building, if, in Landlord’s sole judgment, such employment, delivery or use will interfere or cause any conflict with other contractors, mechanics or laborers engaged in the construction, maintenance or operation of the Building and/or the Building by Landlord, Tenant or others. If such interference or conflict occurs, upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall cause all contractors, mechanics or laborers causing such interference or conflict to leave the Building immediately.

Prior to the date the Freight Elevator becomes operational, if the items to be delivered to the Premises will not fit in the existing elevators in the Building, then there shall be no additional charge to Tenant in connection with the use of a Vertical Lift. After the Freight Elevator becomes operational, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses of any deliveries to the Premises using a Vertical Lift.

(i)    The approval of Plans, or consent by Landlord to the making of any Alterations, shall not constitute Landlord’s representation that such Plans or Alterations comply with any Laws. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other party in connection with Landlord’s approval of any Plans, or Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s performing any Alterations. If and to the extent arising out of or resulting from any Alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant, Landlord is required by an order or directive of a governmental authority to make any alterations or improvements to any part of the Building and/or the Building in order to comply with an applicable Requirement, Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such alterations or improvements.

(j)    In connection with the performance of any Alterations, Tenant (or Tenant’s contractor) shall develop and implement an indoor air quality management plan for the construction and preoccupancy phases of the Building and the Premises (the “Construction Indoor Air Quality Management Plan”).

Section 7.5    Specialty Alterations; Tenant’s Property. “Specialty Alterations” shall mean Alterations which are not standard office installations such as kitchens (excepting kitchenette and pantry areas), executive bathrooms, raised computer floors, computer room installations, supplemental HVAC equipment, safe deposit boxes, vaults, libraries or file rooms requiring reinforcement of floors, internal staircases, slab penetrations, conveyors, dumbwaiters, print rooms and model shops, and other Alterations of a similar character. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all Specialty Alterations installed by or on behalf of Tenant. Cosmetic Alterations shall not be considered to be Specialty Alterations and will not be required to be removed by Tenant on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, concurrent with the review of the applicable Plans (including the Plans for the Initial Installations), Landlord will notify Tenant as to which of the proposed Alterations constitute Specialty Alterations which Tenant will be required to remove at the expiration of the Term, provided that Tenant shall include the following legend in capitalized and bold type displayed prominently on the top of the first page of Tenant’s notice delivered concurrently with such Plans: “LANDLORD SHALL NOTIFY TENANT AT THE TIME LANDLORD APPROVES THESE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AS TO WHICH ALTERATIONS SHOWN THEREON ARE SPECIALTY ALTERATIONS WHICH MAY BE REQUIRED TO BE REMOVED AT THE END OF THE TERM OF THE LEASE.”    In addition, Tenant shall repair all damage caused by the installation or removal of any Alterations. If Tenant fails to remove any Specialty Alterations or to perform such repairs in a timely manner, then Landlord, at Tenant’s expense, may remove and dispose of the Specialty Alterations and/or perform the required repairs. In such event, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.

ARTICLE 8

Entry by Landlord

Section 8.1    Entry.

(a)    Landlord may enter the Premises at any time and from time to time to inspect or show the Premises, to clean and make repairs to the Premises, and to conduct or facilitate repairs, alterations or additions to the Premises and/or the Building. Except in emergencies or to provide customary services, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice of entry into the Premises, which may be given orally. Landlord, Landlord’s agents and contractors may erect, use and maintain concealed ducts, pipes, and conduits in and through the Premises provided such use does not cause the usable area of the Premises to be reduced beyond a de minimis amount.

 

-36-


Landlord shall promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by any work performed pursuant to this Article 8. Landlord, Landlord’s agents and any other party designated by Landlord and their respective agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times, upon reasonable notice (which notice may be oral) except in the case of emergency, to examine the Premises, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees, investors and/or tenants of other laboratory space in the Building, and their respective agents and representatives or others, and to perform repairs or Alterations in or to the Premises or the Building and during the twelve (12) months preceding the Expiration Date, to prospective tenants of the Premises and their respective agents and representatives.

(b)    Any such entry by Landlord shall not constitute constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of Rent or any other remedy. All parts (except surfaces facing the interior of the Premises) of all walls, windows and exterior doors bounding the Premises, all balconies, terraces and roofs adjacent to the Premises, all space in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, stairways, conduits and other mechanical facilities are not part of the Premises, and Landlord shall have the use thereof and access thereto through the Premises for the purposes of operation, maintenance, alteration and repair of the Building.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense may designate one or more areas of the Premises to be “Secure Areas” (i.e., portions of the Premises to which Landlord shall not have a right of entry or access during the Term of this Lease without an Escort (as hereinafter defined) (except as otherwise provided below). Tenant may, from time to time, exercise its right to designate Secure Areas by delivering to Landlord, for Landlord’s prior written approval, a plan showing the location of any such Secure Areas. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent. If Landlord intends to access a Secure Areas in a non-emergency situation, Landlord shall contact Tenant, and Landlord and Tenant shall arrange a mutually agreed upon time for Landlord to have such access. In such event, Landlord shall be accompanied by an employee of Tenant or a party designated by Tenant (the “Escort”). Tenant shall make an Escort available to Landlord during Normal Business Hours. At all times during such access to a Secure Area, Landlord shall comply with all reasonable security measures of the Tenant pertaining to the Secure Areas. If an emergency representing an imminent risk of injury to persons or material property damage in the Building or the Premises, including, without limitation, a suspected fire or flood, requires Landlord to gain access to the Secure Areas, Landlord may enter the Secure Areas without an Escort. If practicable under the circumstances, Landlord shall immediately notify Tenant (which may be oral notification) and request that Tenant make an Escort available to Landlord if time permits, and if Tenant shall not make an Escort available to accompany Landlord, then Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to enter the Secure Areas forcibly or with a master key, and to enter without an Escort. In any such event, except (subject to Section 12.1 of this Lease) to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct, Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever to Tenant, and Tenant shall pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in repairing or reconstructing any entrance, corridor or door to the Secure Area damaged as a result of a forcible entry by Landlord.

(d)    In connection with any such entry to the Premises, Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the disruption to the usual and customary business operations of Tenant in the Premises.

(e)    Landlord reserves the right at any time and from time to time to change the name(s), number(s) or designation(s) by which the Building and/or the Property is (or are) commonly known.

ARTICLE 9

Assignment and Subletting

Section 9.1    No Assignment, Sublease. Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not sublet, or permit, or suffer the Premises or any part thereof to be used or occupied by others (whether for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise) (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. If, without Landlord’s consent, a Transfer of this Lease occurs, or any part of the Premises is sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, or this Lease is encumbered (by operation of law or otherwise), then Landlord may collect rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved. No such collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Article 9, an acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance of Tenant’s covenants hereunder, and in all cases Tenant shall remain fully liable for its obligations under this Lease. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to any further Transfer. In no event shall any permitted subtenant assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit any portion of the sublet space to be used or occupied by others, without the express prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section may be voidable by Landlord. In no event shall any Transfer, including a Permitted Transfer, release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.

Section 9.2    Recapture Notice. If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, then prior to offering the Premises for rent, or listing the Premises (or any part thereof) with a broker, or showing the Premises to a prospective assignee or subtenant, Tenant shall give notice (“Tenant’s Assignment/Sublease Notice”) thereof to Landlord, which shall be accompanied by (a) with respect to an assignment of this Lease, the date Tenant desires the assignment to be effective, and (b) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises, a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet, the proposed commencement date and expiration date of such sublease and the rent per rentable square foot Tenant will ask for the Premises or such portion of the Premises (“Tenant’s Asking Rate”). Such Tenant’s Assignment/Sublease Notice shall be deemed an irrevocable offer from Tenant to Landlord of the right, at Landlord’s option, if the proposed transaction is either (x) an assignment of this Lease, or (y) a subletting of seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the rentable square footage of the Premises for seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the then-remaining Term of this Lease, to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises. Such option may be exercised by notice (a “Recapture Notice”) from Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after delivery of Tenant’s Assignment/Sublease Notice. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate all or a portion of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.2, (a) this Lease shall end and expire with respect to all or a portion of the Premises, as the case may be, on the date that such assignment or sublease was to commence, provided that such date is in no event earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of the Tenant’s Assignment/Sublease Notice

 

-38-


unless Landlord agrees to such earlier date, (b) Rent shall be apportioned, paid or refunded as of such date, (c) upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease ratifying and confirming such total or partial termination, and setting forth any appropriate modifications to the terms and conditions of this Lease as a result thereof, and (d) Landlord may elect, in its discretion, to lease the Premises (or any part thereof) to Tenant’s prospective assignee or subtenant.

Section 9.3    Consent to Assignment/Subletting.

(a)    If Landlord does not exercise Landlord’s termination option provided under Section 9.2, then Landlord shall respond to a request for consent to a proposed sublease or assignment not more than fifteen (15) days after delivery to Landlord of the following: (i) a copy of the proposed assignment agreement or sublease agreement (as applicable), (ii) a complete statement reasonably detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant (a “Transferee”), the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, (iii) current financial information with respect to the Transferee, including its most recent financial statements, and (iv) such other information Landlord as may reasonably request. Provided that no Event of Default then exists, Landlord’s consent to the proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld if the following conditions are satisfied:

(i)    in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the proposed Transferee is engaged in a business or activity, and the Premises will be used in a manner, which (1) is in keeping with the then standards of the Building, (2) is for the Permitted Uses, and (3) does not violate any restrictions set forth in this Lease, any mortgage or superior lease or any negative covenant as to use of the Premises required by any other lease in the Building;

(ii)    the Transferee is reputable with sufficient financial means to perform all of its obligations under this Lease or the sublease, as the case may be;

(iii)    if Landlord has, or reasonably expects to have within three (3) months thereafter, comparable space available in the Building or either of the Other Buildings, neither the Transferee nor any person or entity which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Transferee is then an occupant of the Building or either of the Other Buildings;

(iv)    the Transferee is not a person or entity (or a subsidiary or parent company of a person or entity) with whom Landlord is then or has been within the prior four (4) months negotiating in connection with the rental of space in the Building;

(v)    there shall be not more than two (2) subtenants (excluding Occupants (as hereinafter defined) in the Premises;

(vi)    Tenant shall not publicly list the Premises to be sublet at a proposed sublease rental rate which is less than ninety percent (90%) of the fixed rent of which Landlord is then offering to lease other space in the Building;

(vii)    the Transferee shall not be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, regardless of whether the Transferee agrees to waive such diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and shall be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and

 

-39-


(viii)    the Transferee is not a Prohibited Person (as hereinafter defined).

(b)    With respect to each sublease or assignment proposed by Tenant:

(i)    the form of the proposed assignment or sublease shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;

(ii)    no sublease shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the Expiration Date; and

(iii)    no Transferee shall take possession of any part of the Premises, until an executed counterpart of such sublease or assignment has been delivered to Landlord and approved by Landlord as provided in Section 9.3(c).

If an Event of Default occurs prior to the effective date of such assignment or subletting, then Landlord’s consent thereto, if previously granted, shall be immediately deemed revoked without further notice to Tenant, and if such assignment or subletting would have been permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 9.5, such permission shall be void and without force and effect;

(c)    each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters to which this Lease is or shall be subordinate. Tenant and each Transferee shall be deemed to have agreed that upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default hereunder, Tenant has hereby assigned to Landlord, and Landlord may, at its option, accept such assignment of, all right, title and interest of Tenant as sublandlord under such sublease. If this Lease terminates prior to the Expiration Date, then such sublease shall terminate and expire concurrent therewith; provided, however, if Landlord elects, in its sole and unfettered discretion, by express written notice to such Transferee, to recognize said sublease, then notwithstanding the termination of this Lease, the sublease shall remain in effect as a direct lease between Landlord and the Transferee, and such Transferee shall attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Landlord shall not be (A) liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (B) subject to any counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such Transferee against Tenant, (C) bound by any previous modification of such sublease not consented to by Landlord or by any prepayment of more than one month’s rent, (D) bound to return such Transferee’s security deposit, if any, except to the extent Landlord shall receive actual possession of such deposit and such Transferee shall be entitled to the return of all or any portion of such deposit under the terms of its sublease, or (E) obligated to make any payment to or on behalf of such Transferee, or to perform any alterations or improvements in the sublet space or the Building, or in any way to prepare the subleased space for occupancy, beyond Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 9.3(c) shall be self-operative, and no further instrument shall be required to give effect to this provision, provided that the Transferee shall execute and deliver to Landlord any instruments Landlord may reasonably request to evidence and confirm such subordination and attornment; and

 

-40-


(d)    Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with each proposed assignment or sublease, including any investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant, reviewing any plans and specifications for Alterations proposed to be made in connection therewith, the negotiation of any consent documents for such sublease or assignment, and all legal fees and costs incurred by Landlord in connection therewith; provided, however, with respect to each proposed sublease Tenant shall not be obligated to reimburse Landlord for more than $5,000.00 on account of the legal fees and expenses incurred by Landlord, unless such sublease does not occur in the ordinary course of business (e.g. is in connection with a bankruptcy or reorganization of Tenant) or involves an amendment to this Lease or other additional documentation (other than a customary Landlord’s consent to sublease agreement).

Section 9.4    Profits. If Tenant enters into any assignment or sublease permitted hereunder or consented to by Landlord (excepting only assignments or subleases pursuant to Section 9.5), Tenant shall, within sixty (60) days of Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease, deliver to Landlord a list of Tenant’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs associated with such assignment or sublease, including, but not limited to, all third-party brokerage fees, legal fees and architectural fees paid or to be paid in connection with such transaction and, in the case of any sublease, any actual costs incurred by Tenant in separately demising and improving the sublet space including, without limitation, tenant improvement contributions (collectively, “Transaction Costs”), together with a list of all of Tenant’s Property to be transferred to such Transferee. The Transaction Costs shall be amortized, on a straight-line basis, over the term of any sublease. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of the payment of such Transaction Costs promptly after the same are paid. In consideration of such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord: (a) In the case of an assignment, on the effective date of the assignment, all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the Transferee for or by reason of such assignment (including sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less the then fair market or rental value thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord) after first deducting the Transaction Costs; or (b) In the case of a sublease, fifty percent (50%) of any consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the Transferee which exceeds on a per square foot basis the Base Rent and Additional Rent accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the sublet space (together with any sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s Property, less the then fair market or rental value thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord) after first deducting the monthly amortized amount of Transaction Costs. The sums payable under this clause shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord monthly as and when paid by the subtenant to Tenant.

Section 9.5    Transfers of Ownership Interests. (a) If Tenant is a legal entity, the transfer (by one or more transfers), directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of a majority of the membership interests, or the stock or other beneficial ownership interests in Tenant, or of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (collectively “Ownership Interests”) shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease; provided, however, the provisions of this Article 9 shall not apply to (i) the transfer of Ownership Interests in Tenant if and so long as Tenant is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, (ii) the transfer of Ownership Interests among the members of Tenant existing as of the Effective Date, (iii) the transfer of Ownership Interests to institutional or individual investors (including venture capital funding and corporate partners) which regularly invest in private biotechnology companies

 

-41-


provided that such transfer of Ownership Interests does not result in a change of Control of Tenant, or (iv) a public offering of the stock of Tenant on a national securities exchange. For purposes of this Article 9, the term “Transfers” shall be deemed to include (x) the issuance of new Ownership Interests which results in a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant being held by a person or entity which does not hold a majority of the Ownership Interests in Tenant on the Effective Date and (y) except as provided below, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant in one or more transactions and the merger or consolidation of Tenant into or with another business entity.

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prior consent of Landlord shall not be required with respect to an assignment of this Lease or sublease to a business entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated, or to which all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred (collectively, a “Successor Entity”), so long as (i) such merger, consolidation, or transfer was made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the purpose of transferring this Lease, (ii) the successor to Tenant has either a credit rating or a Net Worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the Net Worth of Tenant as of the Effective Date of this Lease, and (iii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such Net Worth is delivered to Landlord prior to the effective date of any such transaction. In addition, the prior consent of Landlord shall not be required in connection with (I) an occupancy agreement with a third party for less than ten percent (10%) of the rentable square feet of the Premises for a term of less than three (3) years pursuant to which said third party (an “Occupant”) is granted the right to occupy a portion of the Premises, or (II) occupancy agreements which Tenant enters into with a Related Entity (as hereinafter defined), pursuant to which said Related Entity is granted the right to occupy a portion of the Premises; provided that (a) the Occupant or Related Entity occupies space in the Premises for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose; and (b) if requested by Landlord, Tenant notifies Landlord, in writing, of the identity of any such Occupant or Related Entity prior to occupancy of the Premises by such Occupant or Related Entity. If any Occupant or Related Entity occupies any portion of the Premises as described herein, (A) the Occupant or Related Entity shall comply with all provisions of this Lease, and a default by said Occupant or Related Entity shall be deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease; (B) all notices required to be provided by Landlord under this Lease shall be forwarded only to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease and in no event shall Landlord be required to send any notices to any such Occupant or Related Entity; (C) in no event shall any use or occupancy of any portion of the Premises by any Occupant or Related Entity release or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease; (D) the Occupant or Related Entity shall be deemed to be contractors of Tenant for purposes of Tenant’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Lease; and (E) in no event shall the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by any such Occupant or Related Entity be deemed to create a landlord/tenant relationship between Landlord and such Occupant or Related Entity, and, in all instances, Tenant shall be considered the sole tenant under this Lease notwithstanding the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by the Occupant or Related Entity. For purposes of this Section 9.5, (x) “Control,” “Controlled By” or “Common Control” shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of 50% (or more than 50%) of the voting stock, partnership interests, membership interests, or beneficial ownership interest in such entity, and the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or entity, (y) a “Related Entity” shall mean an entity which Controls, is Controlled by, or is under Common Control

with, the original Tenant named herein, and (z) “Net Worth” shall mean the excess of all assets over all liabilities, as shown on the balance sheet of Tenant and determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. For purposes of this Lease, an assignment or sublease with a Related Entity or a Successor Entity shall constitute a “Permitted Transfer”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to assign this Lease or sublease all or any portion of the Premises without Landlord’s consent pursuant to this Section 9.5 if Tenant is not the initial Tenant herein named or a person or entity who acquired Tenant’s interest in this Lease in a transaction approved by Landlord or pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.

Section 9.6    Binding on Tenant; Indemnification of Landlord. Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting or any acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee, Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of all Rent due and for the performance of all the covenants, terms and conditions contained in this Lease on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, and any default under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease by any Transferee or anyone claiming under or through any Transferee shall be deemed to be a default under this Lease by Tenant. Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all Claims that may be made against Landlord by the Transferee or anyone claiming under or through any Transferee or by any brokers or other persons or entities claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease, irrespective of whether Landlord shall give or decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, or if Landlord shall exercise any of its options under this Article 9.

Section 9.7    Assumption of Obligations. No assignment or transfer shall be effective unless and until the Transferee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee (a) assumes Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and (b) agrees that, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, the provisions of Section 9.1 hereof shall be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers.

Section 9.8    Tenant’s Liability. The joint and several liability of Tenant and any successors-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, extending the time, or modifying any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease.

Section 9.9    Listings in Building Directory. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on the doors of the Premises, the Building directory or elsewhere shall not vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others. Any such listing shall constitute a privilege revocable in Landlord’s discretion by notice to Tenant.

Section 9.10    Lease Disaffirmance or Rejection. If at any time this Lease is assigned and thereafter this Lease is not affirmed or is rejected in any bankruptcy proceeding or any

 

-43-


similar proceeding, or upon a termination of this Lease in connection with any such proceeding, Tenant named herein, upon request of Landlord shall (a) pay to Landlord all Rent and other charges due and owing by the assignee to Landlord under this Lease to and including the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination, and (b) as “tenant,” enter into a new lease of the Premises with Landlord for a term commencing on the effective date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination and ending on the Expiration Date, at the same Rent and upon the then executory terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the rights of Tenant named herein under the new lease shall be subject to the possessory rights of the assignee under this Lease and the possessory rights of any persons or entities claiming through or under such assignee or by virtue of any statute or of any order of any court, (ii) such new lease shall require all defaults existing under this Lease to be cured by Tenant named herein with due diligence, and (iii) such new lease shall require Tenant named herein to pay all Rent which, had this Lease not been so disaffirmed, rejected or terminated, would have become due under the provisions of this Lease after the date of such disaffirmance, rejection or termination with respect to any period prior thereto. If Tenant named herein defaults in its obligations to enter into such new lease for a period of ten (10) days after Landlord’s request, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies by reason of default, either at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant named herein as if it had entered into such new lease and such new lease had thereafter been terminated as of the commencement date thereof by reason of Tenant’s default thereunder.

All policies of Tenant’s Insurance shall contain endorsements that the insurer(s) shall give Landlord and its designees at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of any change, cancellation, termination or lapse of insurance; provided, however, if such endorsements are not, despite good faith reasonable efforts, available, then Tenant shall notify Landlord not less than five (5) days after Tenant is notified of any material change, cancellation, termination or lapse of insurance. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance evidencing Tenant’s Insurance prior to the earlier to occur of the Commencement Date or the date Tenant is provided with possession of the Premises for any reason, and upon renewals at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage.

The limits of Tenant’s Insurance shall not limit the liability of Tenant under this Lease.

Section 11.2    Insurance During Performance of Alterations.

-45-


coverage basis, including hard and soft costs coverages. Such insurance shall protect and insure Landlord, Landlord’s agents, Tenant and Tenant’s contractors, as their interests may appear, against loss or damage by fire, water damage, vandalism and malicious mischief, and such other risks as are customarily covered by so-called all risk or special cause of loss property/builders’ risk coverage or its equivalent. In addition, during the performance of any Alterations in or to the Premises, Tenant shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to maintain the insurance coverages described in Exhibit L attached to this Lease.

Section 11.3    Landlord’s Insurance.

(a)    Landlord shall maintain insurance against loss or damage with respect to the Building on an “all risk” type insurance form, with customary exceptions, subject to such deductibles as Landlord may reasonably determine, in an amount equal to at least the replacement value of the Building (excluding replacement of footings and foundation). The cost of such insurance shall be included in Expenses. Payment for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord.

(b)    Landlord may maintain such additional insurance with respect to the Building, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance, terrorism insurance, flood insurance, liability insurance and/or rent insurance, as Landlord may in its sole discretion elect. Landlord may also maintain such other insurance as may from time to time be required by the holder of any mortgage on the Building.

(d)    Landlord shall not be obligated to insure, and shall not assume any liability of risk of loss for, any equipment, alterations or improvements constructed in the Premises (including the initial buildout thereof), or any Tenant’s Property.

ARTICLE 12

Subrogation

Section 12.1    Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant shall waive and shall cause their respective insurance carriers to waive any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or causes of action against the other and their respective trustees, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, agents, and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to Landlord or Tenant or any party claiming by, through or under Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to Tenant’s Property, the Building, the Premises, any additions or improvements to the Building or Premises, or any contents thereof, including (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) all rights of recovery, claims,

 

-46-


actions or causes of action arising out of the negligence of Landlord or any Landlord Related Parties or the negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been carried) covered by insurance.

ARTICLE 13

Casualty Damage

Section 13.1    Fire or Casualty. If all or any part of the Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing. In the event of a fire or other casualty, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Building shall be damaged so that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises has been damaged) and leases for 80% of the other tenants of the Building also are terminated; (2) Landlord is not permitted by Law to rebuild the Building in substantially the same form as existed before the fire or casualty; (3) the Premises have been materially damaged and there is less than two (2) years of the Term remaining as of the date of the fire or other casualty; (4) a Mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt (in which event Landlord shall elect to terminate this Lease); or (5) a material uninsured loss to the Building occurs. Landlord may exercise its right to terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing within ninety (90) days after the date of the fire or other casualty. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to repair and restore the Building and the Premises (excluding any Alterations performed by Tenant). However, in no event shall Landlord be required to spend more than the insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord. In the event of a fire or other casualty that materially damages the Premises, until the restoration of the Premises is substantially completed or would have been substantially completed but for a delay caused by Tenant, Base Rent, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Expenses, Tenant’s Pro Rata Laboratory Share of the Laboratory Expenses, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the Taxes and the Amenity Fee shall be abated in the proportion by which the area of the part of the Premises which is not usable (or accessible) and is not used by Tenant as a result of such fire or casualty bears to the total area of the Premises. Effective as the date that Landlord delivers written notice to Tenant of the substantial completion of the restoration of the Premises, such abatement shall cease. Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage to Tenant’s Property or to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from any such fire or other casualty, or from the repair and restoration of the damage. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any Law relating to the matters addressed in this Article, and agree that their respective rights for damage to or destruction of the Premises shall be those specifically provided in this Lease.

Section 13.2    Repair and Restoration. If all or any portion of the Premises shall be made untenantable by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall, with reasonable promptness, cause an architect or general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant with a written estimate of the amount of time required to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises and make the Premises tenantable again, using customary and reasonable working methods (“Completion Estimate”). If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises cannot be made tenantable within twelve (12) months from the date of damage, then regardless of any other provision contained in this Lease to the contrary, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease, with such termination to be effective as of the date on

 

-47-


which such damage occurs, by giving written notice to the other of such election within ten (10) days after receipt of the Completion Estimate. If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises can be made tenantable within twelve (12) months from the date of damage, but the Premises have not been made tenantable by the end of such twelve (12) month period, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, with such termination to be effective as of the date on which such damage occurs, by giving written notice to Landlord of such election within ten (10) days after the end of such twelve (12) month period and this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days following the end of such twelve (12) month period, unless within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord makes the Premises tenantable--in which event Tenant’s notice shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Time is of the essence of this Section 13.2.

Section 13.3    End of Term. If the Premises shall be materially damaged by fire or other casualty during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, then regardless of any other provision contained in this Lease to the contrary, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease, with such termination to be effective as of the date on which such damage occurs, by giving written notice to the other of such election within thirty (30) days after the date of the fire or other casualty.

ARTICLE 14

Condemnation

If any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”), then either party may terminate this Lease. Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Building and/or the Property which would render the remainder of the Building and/or the Property unsuitable for use as an office and laboratory building in the reasonable determination of Landlord, provided that, concurrent therewith, the leases of the tenants (including Tenant) occupying in the aggregate not less than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable area of the office and/or laboratory space in the Building are terminated. Upon any termination of this Lease pursuant to the provisions of this Article 14, Rent shall be apportioned as of, and shall be paid or refunded up to and including, the date of such termination. If a part of the Property shall be so Taken and this Lease is not terminated in accordance with this Article 14, then Landlord, without being required to spend more than the net amount it receives as a condemnation award and subject to the requirements of any Mortgage, shall restore that part of the Property not so Taken to a substantially equivalent condition (with respect to character, quality, appearance and services) to that which existed immediately prior to such Taking, Upon any Taking, Landlord shall receive the entire award for any such Taking, and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the condemning authority for the value of any unexpired portion of the Term or Tenant’s Alterations; and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of its right in and to such award. Nothing contained in this Article 14 shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from making a separate claim against the condemning authority in a separate proceeding for the then value of any Tenant’s Property included in such Taking and for any moving expenses, provided any such award is in addition to, and does not result in a reduction of, the award made to Landlord.

If a temporary Taking of all or any part of the Premises occurs during the Term, then Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord and the Term shall not be reduced or affected in any

 

-48-


way and Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent payable by Tenant without reduction or abatement and to perform all of its other obligations under this Lease, except to the extent prevented from doing so by the condemning authority, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive any award or payment from the condemning authority for such use, which shall be received, held and applied by Tenant as a trust fund for payment of the Rent falling due.

ARTICLE 15

Events of Default

Section 15.1    Events of Default. Tenant shall be considered to be in default of this Lease upon the occurrence of any of the following (each, an “Event of Default”):

(a)    If Tenant fails to pay when due any payment of Rent within five (5) days following delivery to Tenant of written notice that such payment was not received when due; provided however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to deliver such written notice more than once in any twelve-month period and upon the second such occurrence in any twelve-month period Tenant shall be in default if it fails to pay when due any payment of Rent;

(b)    If Tenant fails to timely provide or maintain a Letter of Credit in the then-applicable Letter of Credit Amount, in accordance with the provisions of Article 25; or

(c)    If Tenant shall be in default in performing any of the terms or provisions of this Lease other than the provisions requiring the payment of Rent or the provisions requiring the delivery or maintenance of the Letter of Credit pursuant to Article 25, and fails to cure such non-monetary default within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default is given to Tenant by Landlord, provided however that if such non-monetary default is of such a nature that it cannot through the exercise of diligent and reasonable efforts be cured within thirty (30) days, then Tenant shall not be in default in such instance if Tenant promptly commences and diligently pursues the cure of such non-monetary default to completion as soon as possible and in all events within ninety (90) days after such initial notice; or

(d)    If Tenant files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or is the subject of an involuntary petition in bankruptcy which is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after filing thereof, or is adjudicated a bankrupt; or if a permanent receiver is appointed for Tenant’s property and such receiver is not removed within sixty (60) days after appointment thereof, or if, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, Tenant takes advantage of any debtor relief proceedings under any present or future laws, whereby the Rent or any part thereof, is, or is proposed to be, reduced or payment thereof deferred; or

(e)    If Tenant’s personal property or effects should be levied upon or attached and such levy or attachment is not satisfied or dissolved within thirty (30) days after such levy or attachment; or

(f)    If the leasehold estate of Tenant is taken by process or operation of Law.

 

-49-


ARTICLE 16

Remedies

Section 16.1    Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to exercise any or all of its rights and remedies at Law or in equity, including, without limitation, the following remedies:

(a)    Terminate this Lease by providing notice thereof to Tenant, in which case Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises, Landlord, in compliance with applicable Laws, may enter upon and take possession of the Premises and remove Tenant, Tenant’s Property and any party occupying the Premises. Notwithstanding any such termination, Tenant shall remain liable for all Rent accrued through the date of termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession not theretofore paid. In addition, notwithstanding any such termination, (i) Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations under this Lease notwithstanding any such termination, including without limitation, the monthly Rent payable hereunder from and after the date of such termination on the date the same would have been due but for such termination, less any amounts Landlord actually receives, if any, if the Premises are re-let, net of all Costs of Reletting (as hereinafter defined), and (ii) Tenant shall pay Landlord, within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written demand, all past due Rent and other losses and damages Landlord suffers as a result of Tenant’s Default and amounts for which Tenant is liable as indemnitor hereunder, including, without limitation, all Costs of Reletting (defined below) and any deficiency that may arise from reletting or the failure to relet the Premises. “Costs of Reletting” shall include all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in reletting or attempting to relet the Premises, including, without limitation, legal fees, brokerage commissions, the cost of alterations and the value of other concessions or allowances granted to a new tenant. All Rent and other amounts due to Landlord for the period of time after such termination shall survive any such termination of this Lease. In connection with the foregoing, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to) re-let all or any part of the Premises, without notice to Tenant, for a term that may be greater or less than the balance of what would have been the remaining balance of the Term (but for such termination) and on such conditions (which may include concessions, free rent and alterations of the Premises) and for such uses as Landlord in its absolute discretion shall determine. Landlord may collect and receive all rents and other income from the reletting. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for the failure to relet all or any part of the Premises or for the failure to collect any Rent from the party to whom the Premises are relet or any guarantor of the obligations of such party.

(b)    At any time, in lieu of payment of the monthly Rent after the date of such termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (i), upon ten (10) days of Landlord’s written demand Tenant shall pay to Landlord as damages a lump-sum amount equal to the total Rent that Tenant would have been required to pay for what would have been the remaining balance of the Term (but for such termination), discounted to present value assuming an annual interest rate at the Federal Reserve Discount Rate for Secondary Credit in effect at the date of calculation, minus the then present fair rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Term, similarly discounted, after deducting all anticipated Costs of Reletting.

(c)    The repossession or re-entering of all or any part of the Premises shall not relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations under this Lease. No right or remedy of Landlord shall be

 

-50-


exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right and remedy now or subsequently available to Landlord at Law or in equity. Landlord shall be entitled to receive interest on any unpaid item of Rent calculated at an annual rate equal to the lesser of (i) the Prime Rate plus 4%, based on a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year, and (ii) the maximum interest rate allowed by Law. For purposes hereof, the “Prime Rate” shall be the per annum interest rate published in the Wall Street Journal (or any other authoritative business journal selected by Landlord if the Wall Street Journal ceases to publish such index) publicly announced as its prime or base rate for federally insured banks in New York, NY. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more remedies shall not constitute a waiver of any default.

Section 16.2    Reletting. After such termination of this Lease and the surrender and yield-up of the Premises by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Landlord will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after Tenant vacates the Premises, which shall include marketing the Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlord’s control in the Building. In no event shall Landlord be required to (i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises unless and until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises, including the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant, (ii) lease the Premises to a tenant whose proposed use, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, will be unacceptable, (iii) relet the Premises prior to leasing any other vacant space in the Building, suitable for the use of the prospective tenant, (iv) lease the Premises for a rental rate less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar space in the Building, or (v) enter into a lease with any proposed tenant that does not have, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficient financial wherewithal and resources to satisfy its financial obligations under the prospective lease. Landlord shall be entitled to take into account in connection with any such reletting of the Premises all relevant factors which would be taken into account by a sophisticated landlord in securing a replacement tenant for the Premises including the first class quality of the Building, matters of tenant mix, and the financial responsibility of any such replacement tenant. Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, decorations and other physical changes in and to the Premises as Landlord, in its sole discretion, considers advisable or necessary in connection with such reletting or proposed reletting. No action or inaction by Landlord in connection with such reletting shall relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease or otherwise affecting any such liability. Landlord shall have no other obligation to mitigate the damages for which Tenant is responsible under this Lease.

ARTICLE 17

Limitation of Liability

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD) TO TENANT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE EQUITY INTEREST OF LANDLORD IN THE PROPERTY, TOGETHER WITH UNDISTRIBUTED RENTS AND UNDISTRIBUTED INSURANCE PROCEEDS FROM THE BUILDING. TENANT SHALL LOOK SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY FOR THE RECOVERY OF ANY JUDGMENT OR AWARD AGAINST LANDLORD. NEITHER LANDLORD NOR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTY SHALL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR ANY

 

-51-


JUDGMENT OR DEFICIENCY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY LANDLORD RELATED PARTIES EVER BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOST PROFITS OF TENANT. EXCEPTING ONLY AS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 18, IN NO EVENT SHALL TENANT BE LIABLE FOR, AND LANDLORD HEREBY WAIVES ANY CLAIM FOR, ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE.

ARTICLE 18

End of Lease Term; Holding Over

Upon the expiration or other termination of the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord vacant, broom clean and in good order and condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage for which Tenant is not responsible under the terms of this Lease excepted, and Tenant shall remove from the Premises all of Tenant’s Property, all data cabling and low voltage wiring, and all Specialty Alterations, shall repair any damage to the Premises or the Building arising out of or resulting from such removal, and shall remove all Hazardous Materials from the Premises, and clean and decommission the Premises, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3. If Tenant fails to surrender all or any part of the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, any occupancy of the Premises after such expiration or earlier termination shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance. Tenant’s occupancy during any such holdover period shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Lease; provided, however, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a holdover charge calculated as follows: (i) for each day during which Tenant holds over in the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, through and including the day which is thirty (30) days thereafter, a per diem holdover charge calculated at a rate equal to 150% of the daily Base Rent, and 100% of Expenses, Laboratory Expenses, Taxes and the Amenity Fee payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term, and (ii) if Tenant holds over in the Premises for more than thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, a per diem holdover charge calculated at a rate equal to 200% of the daily Base Rent, Expenses, Laboratory Expenses, Taxes and the Amenity Fee payable under this Lease for the last full calendar month of the Term. No holdover by Tenant or payment by Tenant after the termination of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Term or prevent Landlord from immediate recovery of possession of the Premises by summary process proceedings or otherwise. In addition, if Tenant holds over in the Premises for more than thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord from and against all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs, and expenses incurred by Landlord arising out of or resulting from Tenant’s holdover. No holding-over by Tenant, nor the payment to Landlord of the amounts specified above, shall operate to extend the Term hereof. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease, and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the Expiration Date or sooner termination of this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Article 18.

A “Mortgage” shall mean a mortgage, deed of trust, trust indenture or other financing document which may now or hereafter encumber or otherwise affect the Property, and/or the Building or any part thereof, and all renewals, extensions, supplements, amendments, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof or thereto, substitutions therefor, and advances made thereunder. A “Mortgagee” shall mean any mortgagee, trustee or other holder of a Mortgage. Landlord hereby represents that there are no currently existing Mortgages encumbering the Building or the Property.

Section 19.2    Subordination. If a Mortgagee, any of its successors in interest, or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or the delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of the successor landlord and upon such successor landlord’s written agreement to accept Tenant’s attornment and to recognize Tenant’s interest under this Lease, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such successor landlord as Landlord under this Lease. The provisions of this Section 19.2 are and shall be self-operative and require no further instruments to give effect hereto; provided, however, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such successor landlord may reasonably request (i) evidencing such subordination and attornment, (ii) setting forth the terms and conditions of Tenant’s tenancy, and (iii) containing such other terms and conditions as may be required by such Mortgagee, provided such instrument does not increase the Rent, increase Tenant’s other obligations to more than a de minimis extent or adversely affect Tenant’s rights under this Lease to more than a di minimis extent. Upon such attornment this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such successor landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants set forth in this Lease except that such successor landlord shall not be:

1)    liable for any act or omission of Landlord (except to the extent such act or omission continues beyond the date when such successor landlord succeeds to Landlord’s interest and Tenant gives notice of such act or omission);

2)    subject to any defense, claim, counterclaim, set-off or offset which Tenant may have against Landlord;

6)    liable for the repayment of any security deposit or surrender of any letter of credit, unless and until such security deposit actually is paid or such letter of credit is actually delivered to such successor landlord; or

7)    liable for the payment of any unfunded tenant improvement allowance, refurbishment allowance or similar obligation.

Tenant shall, from time to time and within ten (10) days of written request from Landlord, execute and deliver any documents or instruments that may be reasonably required by any Mortgagee to confirm any subordination.

Section 19.3    Mortgage or Superior Lease Defaults. Any Mortgagee may elect that this Lease shall have priority over the Mortgage and to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Upon notification to Tenant by such Mortgagee, this Lease shall be deemed to have priority over such Mortgage, regardless of the date of this Lease

Section 19.4    Tenant’s Termination Right. As long as any Mortgage exists, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of Landlord until (a) Tenant shall have given notice of such act or omission to all Mortgagees for which Tenant has received contact information, and (b) a reasonable period of time shall have elapsed following the giving of notice of such default and the expiration of any applicable notice or grace periods (unless such act or omission is not capable of being remedied within a reasonable period of time), during which period such Mortgagees shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remedy such act or omission and thereafter diligently proceed to so remedy such act or omission. If any Mortgagee elects to remedy such act or omission of Landlord, Tenant shall not seek to terminate this Lease so long as such Mortgagee is proceeding with reasonable diligence to effect such remedy.

Section 19.5    Provisions. The provisions of this Article 19 shall (a) inure to the benefit of Landlord, any future owner of the Building or the Real Property, Mortgagee and any sublessor thereof, and (b) apply notwithstanding that, as a matter of law, this Lease may terminate upon the foreclosure of any such Mortgage.

If upon any transfer of the Letter of Credit, any fees or charges shall be so imposed, then such fees or charges shall be payable solely by Tenant and the Letter of Credit shall so specify. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be deemed automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one (1) year each thereafter during the Term. The Letter of Credit (as extended) shall not expire prior to the date which is sixty (60) days after the last day of the calendar year in which the Expiration Date (as extended) occurs.

If (a) an Event of Default by Tenant occurs under this Lease, or (b) Landlord receives a Non-Renewal Notice, or (c) Tenant files a voluntary petition under any Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency code, law or proceeding, then Landlord shall have the right by sight draft to draw, at its election, all or a portion of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit and thereafter hold, use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of such proceeds, as the case may be, (x) to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or any other sum as to which there is an Event of Default including (i) any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of such Event of Default, and/or (ii) any damages to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to this Lease, whether such damages accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord, and/or (y) as a cash security deposit, unless and until, in the case of clause (c) above, Tenant delivers to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit which meets the requirements of this Article 25. If Landlord applies any part of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, or cash security, then Tenant, within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written demand, shall amend the Letter of Credit or deliver an additional Letter of Credit which satisfies the requirements of this Article 25 in the amount so applied or retained such that Landlord shall have a Letter of Credit (or Letters of Credit) in the Letter of Credit Amount on hand at all times during the Term.

Section 25.3    Transfer. The Letter of Credit shall also provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to the holder of any mortgage upon the Building or the successor landlord in connection with a transfer of the Building, from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor. The provisions of this Section 25.3 shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Issuing Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection therewith.

Section 25.4    Maintenance of Letter of Credit by Tenant. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the Letter of Credit and the application of such proceeds in accordance with Section 25.2 hereof, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the then-applicable Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Article 25. Tenant further covenants and warrants that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

Section 25.5    Landlord’s Right to Draw Upon Letter of Credit. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of this Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (a) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Issuing Bank, (b) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (c) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof, and (d) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

Section 25.6    Issuing Bank. If, at any time or from time to time, Landlord determines that an Issuing Bank (i) no longer satisfies the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold, (ii) no longer satisfies the Minimum Capital Threshold, (iii) has been seized or closed by the Federal Reserve

 

-59-


Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or another governmental or regulatory agency or authority, (iv) has become insolvent, or (v) is unwilling or unable to honor the Letter of Credit or to perform its obligations to honor a draw upon the Letter of Credit, then within ten (10) days after demand, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit, issued by a replacement Issuing Bank which satisfies the Minimum Rating Agency Threshold and the Minimum Capital Threshold and otherwise satisfies the requirement of this Article 25.

Section 25.7    Reduction of Letter of Credit.

Promptly after delivery of either the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit or proposed replacement Letter of Credit, Landlord will either (A) execute a consent to the proposed amendment in accordance with the terms thereof, or provide its reasonable objections to such proposed consent or amendment, or (B) consent to the cancellation of the existing Letter of Credit and to the exchange of the replacement Letter of Credit in the Second Letter of Credit Amount for such existing Letter of Credit. Time is of the essence of the delivery of either (A) the foregoing amendment to the existing Letter of Credit increasing the amount of the Letter of Credit to the Second Letter of Credit Amount, or (B) the replacement Letter of Credit in the Second Letter of Credit Amount.

(d)    For purposes hereof, the “Letter of Credit Reduction Conditions” shall mean the following: (i) no Event of Default has occurred under this Lease, and (ii) Tenant shall have provided reasonably satisfactory evidence to Landlord of it having closed on fundraising of not less than $175,000,000.00 (in the aggregate), which fundraising may be in the form of proceeds of a Series B round of fundraising, public offering, equity financing, royalty payments, license or milestone payments and/or grant funding.

Section 28.10    Drafts of Lease. Landlord has delivered drafts of this Lease to Tenant for Tenant’s review only, and the delivery of drafts of this Lease shall not constitute an offer to Tenant, an option or the acceptance of an offer.

Section 28.11    No Other Agreements. All understandings and agreements previously made between the parties are superseded by this Lease, and neither party is relying upon any warranty, statement or representation not contained in this Lease.

Without limitation, in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold rent or to set-off any claim or damages against rent as a result of any default by Landlord or breach by Landlord of its obligations or any warranties or promises hereunder, except as expressly set forth in this Lease or in the case of a wrongful eviction of Tenant from the Premises (constructive or actual) by Landlord continuing after notice to Landlord thereof and a reasonable opportunity for Landlord to cure the same as set forth above. In addition, the Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against the Landlord from Rent thereafter due and payable under this Lease, but shall look solely to the interests of the Landlord in the Property for satisfaction of any such claim.

Section 28.14    Signage. The lobby area of the Building shall contain a directory or directories, which shall be in a location or locations providing reasonable visibility from each entrance to the Building.

In addition, Tenant shall have the right to have a sign identifying Tenant installed on the door of the Premises. All aspects of said door signage (including the size, location, design, materials, colors and appearance thereof) shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Landlord in all respects, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Landlord grants any other tenant of the Building the right to install signage on the exterior of the Building, or on any monument signage located on the Property, then VOR BioPharma, Inc. shall have the right to have signage of equal size and prominence installed on the exterior of the Building or on such monument signage located on the Property, as applicable; provided, however, the rights with respect to such exterior Building Signage and/or monument signage are and shall be personal to VOR BioPharma, Inc, and in no event shall any successor to VOR BioPharma, of any kind or description, have any such rights to exterior Building signage or monument signage. All aspects of said exterior Building signage and/or monument signage (including the size, location, design, materials, colors and appearance thereof) shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Landlord in all respects, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

During the Term, Landlord will provide or will cause the garage operator to provide two (2) parking passes per every 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises, for use of unreserved parking spaces located in the structured parking garage commonly known as 140 CambridgePark Drive or the structured parking facilities commonly known as 88 CambridgePark Drive and/or 160 CambridgePark Drive, respectively, as may be designated by Landlord from time-to time (each, a “Parking Facility”). In the event that Tenant surrenders any of the parking passes during the Term, Tenant’s right to receive the surrendered parking passes at a future date shall be subject to availability. Commencing on the Commencement Date and thereafter throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, a monthly parking charge for such parking passes. For the first twelve (12) months of the Term, the monthly parking charge shall be $150.00 per month per parking pass.

The parking passes shall be used only for parking duly registered and operating private passenger motor vehicles owned and operated by Tenant or its employees. Except for transfers of any parking passes to permitted subtenants, assignees and/or pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, the parking passes shall not be transferable. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to designate the location of parking spaces and to promulgate reasonable rules and regulations regarding the Parking Facilities and the use thereof. Tenant shall comply with and cause its employees to comply with all such rules and regulations as well as all reasonable additions and amendments thereto. Except to the extent otherwise provided in M.G.L. Chapter 186, Section 15, neither the operator of the Parking Facility nor Landlord shall be liable for any loss, injury or damage to persons using the Parking Facility or motor vehicles or other property therein, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the use of the Parking Facility shall be at the sole risk of Tenant and its employees.

  2.

CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

2.1    Selection of Architect. Landlord has retained RE Dinneen (the “Architect”) and AHA as the MEP engineer to prepare the Construction Documents (defined in Section 2.3) for the Landlord’s TI Work. All Construction Documents shall comply with the drawing format and specifications as determined by Landlord, and shall be subject to approval by both Landlord and Tenant as set forth herein.

2.2    Final Space Plan. Tenant has approved the preliminary space plan prepared by the Architect, on behalf of the Contractor, attached as Attachment 1 hereto (the “Fit Plan”). On or before the date set forth in Attachment 2, attached hereto, the Architect shall prepare a more detailed space plan (the “Space Plan”) for Tenant for the Premises, which Space Plan shall be reasonably consistent with the Fit Plan. The Architect shall deliver the Space Plan and the Contractor (as hereinafter defined) shall deliver a preliminary budget for the cost of performing the work shown on the Space Plan to Landlord and Tenant for their approval. Landlord and Tenant shall review and provide any comments and requested changes to the Space Plan within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof. In the event that Tenant or Landlord have any comments or requested changes to the Space Plan, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Architect to prepare and circulate a modified Space Plan within five (5) Business Days of Architect’s receipt of any requested changes from Tenant or Landlord. Such process of submittal and response within the time frames specified in the preceding sentence shall continue until each of Landlord and Tenant gives written approval to the Space Plan, with the understanding that the Final Space Plan (as defined below) shall be approved no later than the

 

EXHIBIT D -1-

Tenant shall approve the Cost Proposal within five (5) Business Days of the receipt of the same; provided, however, (i) if Tenant is not satisfied with the amount of the general conditions set out in the Cost Proposal, then Tenant shall have the right, within five (5) Business Days following its’ receipt of the Cost Proposal, to request that Landlord and Tenant jointly engage a mutually acceptable independent contractor or construction consultant to conduct a peer review of the amount of the general conditions set out in the Cost Proposal (the costs of said peer review to be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant); and (ii) Tenant shall have the right to request Tenant Changes to the Approved Construction Documents within such five (5) Business Days following its receipt of the Cost Proposal for the purpose of value engineering, in which event the Landlord will cause the Architect to revise the Approved Construction Documents based upon the changes requested by Tenant, as aforesaid, and the Contractor to provide a new Cost Proposal to Landlord and Tenant for their approval. Without limitation, the approval by Tenant of the Cost Proposal shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon Tenant’s approval of a Cost Proposal, Landlord shall cause the Contractor to purchase the items set forth in the Cost Proposal and to commence the performance of the Landlord’s TI Work.

EXHIBIT D -3-


3.3    Over-Allowance Amount. If the amount of the Cost Proposal is equal to, or less than, the Maximum Allowance Amount, then Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any of the costs and expenses of the Landlord’s TI Work. If the amount of the Cost Proposal exceeds the Maximum Allowance Amount (the amount of such excess, the “Over Allowance Amount”), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Over Allowance Amount. Tenant shall make progress payments to Landlord on account of the Over Allowance Amount on a monthly basis, within thirty (30) days of receipt of each Billing (as hereinafter defined). Each such monthly payment shall be an amount equal to the amount of the subject Billing, multiplied by a fraction, expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the Over Allowance Amount, and the demonimator of which is the total amount of the Cost Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date that Landlord has contributed the Maximum Allowance Amount towards the costs and expenses of the Landlord’s TI Work, Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of each Billing. A Billing may not be submitted by Landlord to Tenant more than one time per calendar month. A “Billing” shall be defined as any invoice from Landlord setting forth in reasonable detail the amount due from Tenant, and shall include invoices from contractors, vendors and service providers, and applications for payment from the Contractor for work completed through the date of the Billing, as certified by the Contractor. Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, all Landlord’s TI Work paid for by the Over-Allowance Amount shall be deemed Landlord’s property under the terms of the Lease. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Landlord’s TI Work to the extent the same exceed the Maximum Allowance Amount (notwithstanding the content of the Cost Proposal). All amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Additional Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure of Tenant to timely pay same shall be an Event of Default.

3.4    Cost of Tenant Changes. If Tenant shall request a Tenant Change, then Landlord shall provide Tenant in writing (a “Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice”) with (x) the estimated additional costs of design and/or construction of the Landlord’s TI Work that Landlord determines will be incurred as a result of such Tenant Change, on an order of magnitude basis, and (y) the estimated Tenant Delay, if any, as a result of such proposed Tenant Change. Tenant shall, within three (3) Business Days following receipt of Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice, notify Landlord in writing whether it elects to proceed with the applicable Tenant Change or to withdraw such proposed Tenant Change. Tenant’s failure to respond in such three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed to be an election to withdraw the proposed Tenant Change. In no event will Landlord have any obligation to implement a proposed Tenant Change unless and until Tenant confirms in writing its acceptance of the additional costs and/or Tenant Delays, if any, resulting from the proposed Tenant Change, as set forth in the Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice. The cost of any Tenant Change shall be determined on a net basis; i.e. taking into account the savings, if any, resulting from such Tenant Change. Without limitation, Tenant acknowledges that any extension of time due to a Tenant Change will not cause an extension of the Commencement Date. Landlord shall be authorized to proceed with work described in a Tenant Change upon receipt of Tenant’s notice to proceed following the giving of Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice. Time is of the esence of this Section 3.4.

4.2.6    Any other act or omission of Tenant or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant that causes a delay in the Landlord’s TI Work or any process described in this Work Letter (provided that Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice specifying the nature of the acts or omissions giving rise to the delay and the resulting delay promptly after Landlord acquires actual knowledge thereof).

 

EXHIBIT D -5-

4.3    Walk-through and Punchlist.

The items listed on such punch list shall be completed by the Contractor within thirty (30) days after the approval of such punch list or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, provided that in the event a punch list item reasonably requires longer than thirty (30) days to complete, then the Contractor shall commence the completion of such particular item within thirty (30) days and diligently pursue the same to completion. The completion of the punchlist items will not limit or detract from the occurrence of the Substantial Completion of the Premises or the occurrence of the Commencement Date.

4.5    Delay Not Caused by Parties. Neither the Landlord nor Tenant shall be considered to be in default of the provisions of this Work Letter for delays in performance to the extent due to events of force majeure; provided, however, in no event will financial inability be considered to be an event of force majeure.

4.6    Delivery. Landlord’s failure to Substantially Complete the Landlord’s TI Work on or before the anticipated date of Substantial Completion, as set forth in Attachment 2, or to substantially complete any element of the Landlord’s TI Work, shall not give rise to any liability of Landlord hereunder, shall not constitute a default by Landlord, and shall not affect the validity of this Lease, except as expressly provided in Section 3.3 of the Lease.

4.7    Bid Process. Landlord will cause the Contractor to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at least three (3) bids from each qualified subcontractor for subcontracts anticipated to cost in excess of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000.00) (each, a “Major Subcontractor”) in connection with the Landlord’s TI Work, and shall share such bids with Tenant promptly after receipt thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the selection of subcontractors for the Landlord’s TI Work shall be conducted on an “open book” basis as between Landlord, Contractor and Tenant, and Tenant shall have the right to review all bid materials received by Contractor prior to the selection of each Major Subcontractor. Landlord and Contractor shall keep Tenant reasonably informed in the selection of the

 

EXHIBIT D -6-

The provisions of this Section 4.8 set forth the Tenant’s sole remedies for any breach of the Landlord’s Warranty; provided, however nothing in this Section 4.8 shall be deemed to relieve the Landlord of its responsibilities to perform maintenance and repairs as required pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Lease.

PH NEUTRALIZATION SYSTEM

SPECIFICATIONS

Thomas Congoran

Longfellow Real Estate Partners, LLC

260 Franklin Street

Boston, MA 02110

Subject: 100 CPD pH Neutralization System Sizing

Dear Tom:

AHA has gathered information from various projects we have completed and determined a value per square foot for each laboratory service. We use these values to calculate the size of the laboratory equipment for core and shell laboratory buildings when just square footages are known.

The square footage of rentable laboratory space for 100 CPD was determined using the square footage breakdown spreadsheet dated August 26, 2019 and information from follow-up meetings through mid-September of this year. The square footage of rentable laboratory space at 100 CPD is 45,000 SF.

Using the calculated value for pH systems and the 45,000 SF of rentable laboratory space, AHA has calculated that a 5,000 gallon per day (GPD) pH neutralization system will be required for 100 CPD.

Very truly yours,

AHA CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC.
