• | Level 1 – Fair value is determined by using unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. |
• | Level 2 – Fair value is determined by using inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in inactive markets. Related inputs can also include those used in valuation or other pricing models, such as interest rates and yield curves that can be corroborated by observable market data. |
• | Level 3 – Fair value is determined by inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. Use of these inputs involves significant and subjective judgments to be made by a reporting entity – e.g., determining an appropriate adjustment to a discount factor for illiquidity associated with a given security. |

ITEM 2.
|
• | Margetuximab is an antibody that targets HER2-expressing tumors, including certain types of breast and gastroesophageal cancers. HER2, or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2, is critical for the growth of many types of tumors. In July 2015, we enrolled the first patient in SOPHIA, a Phase 3 potential registration clinical trial with margetuximab in patients with metastatic breast cancer expressing HER2 who have failed therapy with other HER2 therapeutic agents. We also plan to commence a Phase 1b/2 study combining margetuximab with pembrolizumab in patients with advanced gastric cancer. We are also currently enrolling a Phase 2a clinical trial in patients with lower levels of expressed HER2. |
• | Enoblituzumab (MGA271) is an antibody that targets B7-H3, a member of the B7 family of molecules that are involved in immune regulation and that is over-expressed on a wide variety of solid tumor types. We continue to enroll patients in additional expansion cohorts of a Phase 1 monotherapy study as well as clinical studies combining enoblituzumab with either ipilimumab or pembrolizumab. |
• | MGD006 (also known as S80880) is a DART molecule that recognizes both CD123 and CD3. CD123, the Interleukin-3 receptor alpha chain, is expressed on leukemia and leukemic stem cells, but only at very low levels or not at all on normal hematopoietic stem cells. T cells, which express CD3, can destroy tumor cells. In pre-clinical studies, we have demonstrated the ability of MGD006 to recruit, activate, and expand T cell populations to eliminate leukemia cells. We are currently enrolling patients in the dose escalation portion of a Phase 1 clinical trial of MGD006. |
• | MGD007 is a DART molecule that recognizes both the glycoprotein A33, or gpA33, and CD3. MGD007 has been engineered for extended pharmacokinetic properties and convenient intermittent dosing. gpA33 is expressed on gastrointestinal tumors, including more than 95% of human colon cancers. We have demonstrated that this molecule is able to mediate T cell killing of gpA33-expressing cancer cells and cancer stem-like cells in pre-clinical experiments. We are currently enrolling patients in the dose escalation portion of a Phase 1 clinical trial of MGD007. |
• | MGD010 is a DART molecule designed to address limitations of existing B cell-targeted therapies by binding to the CD32B and CD79B proteins found on human B cells. In pre-clinical studies, this DART molecule modulates the function of human B cells without B cell depletion. In normal conditions, B cells utilize CD32B as one of the key checkpoints or negative regulators to ensure that tolerance to self is maintained and autoimmune disease does not occur. MGD010 is designed to further exploit this mechanism by triggering this inhibitory "immune checkpoint" loop. We believe this molecule preferentially blocks those B cells that are activated, including those that produce the pathogenic antibodies that promote the autoimmune process. We initiated a Phase 1a clinical trial with MGD010 in normal healthy volunteers in the first quarter of 2015. |
• | MGD011 (also known as JNJ-64052781) is a DART molecule that targets both CD19 and CD3 and is being developed for the treatment of B-cell hematological malignancies. CD19, a lymphocyte-specific marker expressed from early B-lymphocyte development through mature memory B cells, is highly represented in B-cell malignancies. MGD011 is designed to redirect T cells, via their CD3 component, to eliminate CD19-expressing cells found in many hematological malignancies. MGD011 has been engineered to address half-life challenges posed by other programs targeting CD19 and CD3. Under our collaboration and license agreement with Janssen, Janssen is developing the product candidate, subject to our options to co-promote the product in the United States and Canada and to invest in later-stage development in exchange for a profit-share, and dosed the first patient in an open-label Phase 1 study of MGD011 in July 2015. |
• | MGD009 is a DART molecule that recognizes B7-H3 and CD3, and has been engineered for extended pharmacokinetic properties. We have demonstrated that this molecule is able to mediate T cell killing of cancer cells in pre-clinical experiments. During the third quarter of 2015, we initiated Phase 1 clinical testing of MGD009. |
• | Creating multi-specific molecules using our DART and Trident platforms that target one or more immune system checkpoints, the first of which is expected to be a DART molecule targeting PD-1 and LAG-3 (MGD013), |
• | Developing antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) product candidates against tumor targets of interest, the first of which is expected to extend our B7-H3 franchise using a complementary mechanism of action to enoblituzumab and MGD009, the two other programs in this franchise, and |
• | Applying our DART technology to the potential treatment of an infectious disease, which we are doing by advancing MGD014 as one of two DART molecules for the potential treatment of HIV under a contract with the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). |
•

Janssen. In December 2014, we entered into a collaboration and license agreement with Janssen for the development and commercialization of MGD011, a product candidate that incorporates our proprietary DART technology to simultaneously target CD19 and CD3 for the potential treatment of B-cell malignancies. We contemporaneously entered into a stock purchase agreement and investor agreement, each with Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JJDC, Inc. (JJDC), under which JJDC agreed to purchase 1,923,077 new shares of our common stock at a price of $39.00 per share, representing proceeds of $75.0 million. The effectiveness of these agreements was subject to the early termination or expiration of any applicable waiting periods under Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, which occurred in January 2015. Upon closing, we received a $50.0 million upfront payment from Janssen as well as the $75.0 million investment in our common stock from JJDC. Janssen became fully responsible for developing MGD011 following submission of the IND, which was completed in March 2015. Assuming successful development and commercialization, we could receive up to an additional $575.0 million in clinical, regulatory and commercialization milestone payments. In July 2015, Janssen dosed the first patient in an open-label Phase 1 study of MGD011, which triggered a $10.0 million milestone to us. We may elect to fund a portion of late-stage clinical development in exchange for a profit share in the U.S. and Canada. If commercialized, we would be eligible to receive double-digit royalties on any global net sales and have the option to co-promote the molecule with Janssen in the U.S.
|
• | Takeda. In May 2014, we entered into a license and option agreement with Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited (Takeda) for the development and commercialization of MGD010, a product candidate that incorporates our proprietary DART technology to simultaneously engage CD32B and CD79B, which are two B-cell surface proteins. Upon execution of the agreement, Takeda made a non-refundable payment of $15.0 million to us. Takeda has an option to obtain an exclusive worldwide license for MGD010 following the completion of a pre-defined Phase 1a study. We initiated clinical testing of MGD010 for the treatment of autoimmune disorders in March 2015, which resulted in a $3.0 million milestone payment from Takeda. If Takeda exercises its option, it will assume responsibility for future development and pay us a license option fee of $15.0 million. Assuming successful development and commercialization of MGD010, we are eligible to receive up to $468.5 million in development, regulatory and sales milestone payments. If commercialized, we would receive double-digit royalties on any global net sales and have the option to co-promote MGD010 with Takeda in the United States. Finally, we may elect to fund a portion of Phase 3 clinical development in exchange for a North American profit share. |

|
Servier. In November 2011, we entered into a collaboration agreement with Les Laboratoires Servier and Institut de Recherches Servier (collectively, Servier) under which we granted Servier an option to obtain an exclusive license to develop and commercialize enoblituzumab in all countries other than the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and India. Servier was required to exercise this option within 90 days after receipt of a data package delivered in July 2015 containing initial monotherapy data from the enoblituzumab Phase 1 clinical study. Because Servier has not exercised this option, MacroGenics now has worldwide development and commercialization rights to enoblituzumab. Under this agreement, through September 30, 2015, we received a $20.0 million option grant fee and a $10.0 million milestone payment.
|
• | Boehringer. In October 2010, we entered into an agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH (Boehringer) to discover, develop and commercialize up to ten DART molecules which may span multiple therapeutic areas. We granted Boehringer an exclusive worldwide, royalty-bearing license and received an upfront payment of $15.0 million. During 2014, Boehringer nominated a lead candidate generated by our DART technology for pre-clinical development. This formal selection of a development candidate triggered a $2.0 million milestone payment to us under the agreement. We have the potential to earn development, regulatory and sales milestone payments that can reach up to approximately $210.0 million for each of the DART programs under this agreement. Boehringer provides funding for our internal and external research costs and is required to pay us mid-single digit royalties on product sales. |

1.
|
Effective Date. This Second Amendment shall be effective concurrently with the effectiveness of the assignment of JCVI's interest in, to and under the Existing Lease to Tenant pursuant to the Assignment Agreement. The "Effective Date" for purposes of this Second Amendment shall mean the "Assignment Date" (as such term is defined in the Assignment Agreement). Within ten (10) days after the occurrence of the Assignment Date (as defined in the Assignment Agreement), Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver the Acknowledgment of Second Amendment Effective Date in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A to this Second Amendment.
|
2.
|
Definitions. For purposes of this Second Amendment, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Existing Lease unless otherwise defined herein. The Existing Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment, is referred to collectively herein as the "Lease." From and after the date hereof, the term "Lease," as used in the Existing Lease, shall mean the Existing Lease, as amended by this Second Amendment. To the extent terms are defined in both the Existing Lease and the Second Amendment, the defined terms in this Second Amendment shall control for the entire Lease, as amended.
|
3.
|
Revised Term. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to extend the Term of the Existing Lease and to modify certain terms and provisions of the Existing Lease in connection therewith on the terms and conditions set forth in this Second Amendment. Notwithstanding any provision in the Existing Lease to the contrary, the Term shall be extended such that the Term Expiration Date shall be the date that is eighty-four (84) months after the Revised Term Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), and shall be subject to further extension pursuant to Section 14 of this Second Amendment. The "Revised Term Commencement Date" shall be the later of (a) January 1, 2016 and (b) the day Landlord tenders possession of the Premises to Tenant. The "Term" in the Lease and the "Revised Term" in this Second Amendment shall mean and refer to the period of time commencing on the Revised Term Commencement Date and continuing through the Term Expiration Date, as extended by this Second Amendment, and as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 14 of this Second Amendment, and subject to the earlier termination of the Lease as therein provided. Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver to the other written acknowledgment of the actual Revised Term Commencement Date and the Term Expiration Date within ten (10) days after in the form provided by Landlord, which form shall be consistent with the form attached as Exhibit B to this Second Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Second Amendment, in the event that (i) the Effective Date does not occur or (ii) Landlord fails to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before February 1, 2016 for any reason, except for any delay caused by Tenant or an event of Force Majeure (however, Force Majeure shall not include holdover in the Premises by JCVI), then Tenant shall receive either (y) a day-for-day abatement of fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the initial Monthly Base Rent (i.e. $2,540.08 per day of delay during the month of February), if such failure to deliver is due to holdover in the Premises by JCVI or (z) a day-for-day abatement of one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the initial Monthly Base Rent (i.e. $5,080.15 per day of delay during the month of February), if such failure to deliver the Premises is not due to holdover in the Premises by JCVI, in each case for each day after February 1, 2016 that the Effective Date does not occur or Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant, which abatement shall be applied against the first and subsequent accruing Monthly Base Rent due for the Premises following the Revised Term Commencement Date until exhausted. To the extent not delivered by JCVI directly to Tenant pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, Landlord shall deliver all keys, security codes and electronic access cards to the Premises and all offices and restrooms therein received by Landlord from JCVI.

Early Access to Premises. Subject to JCVI's compliance with its obligation to allow Tenant early access to the Premises under Section 2 of the Assignment Agreement, from and after December 1, 2015, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to grant Tenant access to the Premises and Common Areas prior to the Revised Term Commencement Date for the purpose of constructing improvements, installing furniture, fixtures and equipment or the placement of personal property, but not for the purpose of conducting Tenant's business, provided Tenant shall furnish to Landlord evidence satisfactory to Landlord in advance that insurance coverages required of Tenant under the provisions of Article 23 of the Existing Lease are in effect, and such entry shall be subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease other than the payment of Base Rent or Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses.
|
6.
|
TI Allowance; Construction of Tenant Improvements.
|
7.
|
Controllable Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, during the Revised Term, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any increase in Controllable Operating Expenses (as hereinafter defined) on a non-cumulative basis by more than five percent (5%) in any calendar year over the amount of Controllable Operating Expenses chargeable to Tenant for the immediately preceding calendar year, beginning with Controllable Operating Expenses from the calendar year immediately succeeding the calendar year in which the Revised Term Commencement Date occurs. The term "Controllable Operating Expenses" shall mean all Operating Expenses except for taxes, assessments or impositions, Capital Expenditures, costs for repairs and maintenance (excluding preventative maintenance), utility charges, sewer fees, license, permit or inspection fees imposed by a Governmental Authority, insurance premiums, mandatory payments under CC&R's or to an owners' association, costs for snow removal, costs associated with repairs due to casualty, vandalism, costs for snow removal or other costs outside of Landlord's reasonable control or costs that Landlord reasonably determines are necessary to prevent an adverse effect on the Building structure.
|
8.
|
Project Amenities. Commencing on December 1, 2015 and continuing during the Revised Term, Tenant shall be entitled to use the large conference areas and exercise/fitness areas located at 9714 Medical Center Drive in the Lower Campus and the parking spaces serving such areas (the "Amenities") at no additional charge (except as provided in this Section), provided such use shall be subject to the use of such Amenities by other tenants of the Project on a first come, first served basis, as well as any temporary closures of the Amenities (or any portion thereof) by Landlord in connection with any maintenance, repair, alterations or improvements to be performed. During the Revised Term, Tenant shall be required to pay its proportionate share of the operating costs paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation or maintenance of such Amenities, to the extent considered Operating Expenses under Section 9 of the Lease. During the Revised Term, Landlord shall continue to operate and maintain the Amenities in a manner substantially consistent with its current practices, subject to temporary closures for maintenance and repairs, alterations or additions necessitated by Applicable Laws and events of Force Majeure.
|
9.
|
Condition of Premises. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a copy of each final Exit Survey submitted by JCVI pursuant to the Assignment Agreement ("JCVI Exit Survey") upon Landlord's receipt, without any representation or warranty, express or implied, including but not limited to any representation or warranty regarding the accuracy or completeness of the JCVI Exit Survey. The delivery of such JCVI Exit Survey shall not be deemed to be a representation or warranty regarding the physical or environmental condition of the Premises. On the Revised Term Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in broom clean condition. Tenant acknowledges that (a) except as expressly provided in this Second Amendment or the Lease, Tenant agrees to take the Premises in its condition "as is" as of the first day of the Revised Term, and (b) Landlord shall have no obligation to alter, repair or otherwise prepare the Premises for Tenant's continued occupancy for the Revised Term or to pay for any improvements to the Premises, except as expressly provided in this Second Amendment or the Lease. Tenant's taking of possession of the Premises on the Revised Term Commencement Date shall, except as otherwise agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, conclusively establish that the Premises, the Building, the Building systems and the Project were at such time in good, sanitary and satisfactory condition and repair. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time during the first twenty-four (24) months of the Revised Term (the "Warranty Period"), if any standard HVAC units (but specifically excluding any specialized HVAC units added by Tenant, such as those units that may be required for manufacturing) serving the Premises shall fail to be in good working order, then Tenant may deliver written notice to Landlord describing in reasonable detail such failure, and Landlord will perform the work necessary to put the HVAC unit in good working order with reasonable promptness and at Landlord's sole cost as Tenant's sole remedy for any such failure (and Tenant shall not be entitled to damages or any other remedy as a result of such failure, except as provided in Section 16.2 of the Lease); provided, however, that Landlord's obligations pursuant to the foregoing shall be limited to necessary repairs and/or replacements, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, and Tenant shall remain responsible for the standard preventative maintenance and upkeep of such HVAC units in the ordinary course. During the Warranty Period, all costs which are the obligation of Landlord pursuant to this Section 9 shall be borne solely by Landlord and not included as Operating Expenses, provided Tenant (and not Landlord) shall be responsible for all costs, in whole or in part, that are incurred to the extent attributable to the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any of its employees, contractors or subcontractors.

|
6.
|
Rentable Area.
|
6.1.
|
Landlord and Tenant irrevocably stipulate that the Rentable Area of the Premises shall be as set forth in Section 2.2. Subject to the foregoing, the term "Rentable Area", to the extent it relates exclusively to the Lower Campus shall reflect such areas as are reasonably calculated by Landlord's architect, as the same may be reasonably adjusted from time to time by Landlord in consultation with Landlord's architect to reflect changes to the Lower Campus.
|
6.2.
|
The Rentable Area of the Lower Campus is generally determined by making separate calculations of Rentable Area applicable to each floor within the Lower Campus and totaling the Rentable Area of all floors within the applicable improvements. The Rentable Area of a floor is computed by measuring to the outside finished surface of the permanent outer applicable building walls. The full area calculated as previously set forth is included as Rentable Area, without deduction for columns and projections or vertical penetrations, including stairs, elevator shafts, flues, pipe shafts, vertical ducts and the like, as well as such items' enclosing walls.
|
6.3.
|
The Rentable Area of the Project is the total Rentable Area of all buildings within the Project (with the understanding that the Building Rentable Area is stipulated as set forth herein and not subject to further adjustment).
|
7.
|
Rent.
|
7.1.
|
Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Rent for the Premises, commencing on the Term Commencement Date, the sums set forth in Section 2.3, subject to the rental adjustments provided in Article 8 hereof. Base Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments as set forth in Section 2.3, subject to the rental adjustments provided in Article 8 hereof, each in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term.
|
7.2.
|
In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent ("Additional Rent") at times hereinafter specified in this Lease (a) Tenant's pro rata share, as set forth in Section 2.2 ("Tenant's Pro Rata Share"), of Operating Expenses, (b) the Property Management Fee (as defined below) and (c) any other amounts that Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under the provisions of this Lease that are owed to Landlord, including any and all other sums that may become due by reason of any default of Tenant or failure on Tenant's part to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, after notice and the lapse of any applicable cure periods.
|
7.3.
|
Base Rent and Additional Rent shall together be denominated "Rent." Rent shall be paid to Landlord, without abatement, deduction or offset except as expressly provided in Sections 16.2, 24.5 and 31.14, in lawful money of the United States of America at the office of Landlord as set forth in Section 2.8 or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time designate in writing. In the event the Term commences or ends on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then the Rent for such fraction of a month shall be prorated for such period on the basis of a thirty (30) day month and shall be paid at the then-current rate for such fractional month.
|
8.
|
Rent Adjustments. Base Rent shall be subject to an annual upward cost-of-living adjustment of the then-current Base Rent based upon comparing the increase of the Consumer Price Index numbers published by the United States Department of Labor, entitled United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, Washington-Baltimore, DC-MD-VA-WV ("CPI Index") for the month immediately preceding the anniversary of the Commencement Date over the CPI Index published for the same calendar month for the prior year, with the understanding that this escalation is intended to be a "prior year" CPI Index escalation, not a "base year" CPI Index escalation. In the event that the CPI Index is not published for one of the months specified in the immediately preceding sentence, the CPI Index to be used shall be the last monthly CPI Index published prior to the month specified. In the event that such index is discontinued, then another comparable index or source of such information generally recognized as authoritative shall be substituted by Landlord with Tenant's consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The first such adjustment shall become effective commencing with that monthly rental installment that is due on or after the first (1st) annual anniversary of the Term Commencement Date, and subsequent adjustments shall become effective on every successive annual anniversary for so long as this Lease continues in effect; provided, in no event shall the Base Rent be increased by less than two percent (2%) of Base Rent in effect for the preceding year, or increased by more than four percent (4%) of the Base Rent in effect for the preceding year.

For purposes of this Lease, the term "Capital Expenditures" shall include (1) any capital replacements of improvements, fixtures, equipment, systems and similar property at the end of such property's useful life; and (2) any capital expenditures required of Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, but shall specifically exclude any enhancements or additions to the Common Areas.
|
9.2.
|
Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each calendar month of the Term, as Additional Rent, (a) the Property Management Fee and (b) Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses with respect to the Building and the Project, as applicable, for such month.
|
9.3.
|
Landlord's annual statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant unless Tenant, within ninety (90) days after Tenant's receipt thereof, shall request the right to review and audit the same. In such event, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable access to Landlord's books and records to the extent relevant to determination of Operating Expenses, and such information as Landlord reasonably determines to be responsive to Tenant's written inquiries. In the event that, after Tenant's review of such information, Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the amount of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses or if Tenant desires to have a third party review and audit the same, then Tenant shall have the right to have an independent public accountant or other person or firm with expertise in commercial real estate accounting and auditing ("Auditor") hired by Tenant not on a contingent fee basis (at Tenant's sole cost and expense) and approved by Landlord (which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay) audit and review such of Landlord's books and records for the year in question as directly relate to the determination of Operating Expenses for such year (the "Independent Review"). Landlord shall make such books and records available to Tenant and its Auditor for review and copying at the location where Landlord maintains them in the ordinary course of its business. Landlord need not provide copies of any books or records. Tenant shall commence the Independent Review within fifteen (15) days after the date Landlord has given Tenant access to Landlord's books and records for the Independent Review. Tenant shall complete the Independent Review and notify Landlord in writing of Tenant's specific objections to Landlord's calculation of Operating Expenses (including Tenant's Auditor's written statement of the basis, nature and amount of each proposed adjustment) no later than sixty (60) days after Landlord has first given Tenant access to Landlord's books and records for the Independent Review. Landlord shall review the results of any such Independent Review. The parties shall endeavor to agree promptly and reasonably upon Operating Expenses taking into account the results of such Independent Review. If, as of sixty (60) days after Tenant has submitted the Independent Review to Landlord, the parties have not agreed on the appropriate adjustments to Operating Expenses, then the parties shall engage a mutually agreeable independent third party accountant with at least ten (10) years' experience in commercial real estate accounting and auditing in the Washington, DC region (the "Accountant"). If the parties cannot agree on the Accountant, each shall within ten (10) days after such impasse appoint an Accountant (different from the accountant and accounting firm that conducted the Independent Review) and, within ten (10) days after the appointment of both such Accountants, those two Accountants shall select a third (which cannot be the accountant and accounting firm that conducted the Independent Review). If either party fails to timely appoint an Accountant, then the Accountant the other party appoints shall be the sole Accountant. Within ten (10) days after appointment of the Accountant(s), Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously give the Accountants (with a copy to the other party) its determination of Operating Expenses, with such supporting data or information as each submitting party determines appropriate. Within ten (10) days after such submissions, the Accountants shall by majority vote select either Landlord's or Tenant's determination of Operating Expenses. The Accountants may not select or designate any other determination of Operating Expenses. The determination of the Accountant(s) shall bind the parties. If the parties agree or the Accountant(s) determine that Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses actually paid for the calendar year in question exceeded Tenant's obligations for such calendar year, then Landlord shall, at Tenant's option, either (a) credit the excess to the next succeeding installments of estimated Additional Rent or (b) pay the excess to Tenant within thirty (30) days after delivery of such results. If the parties agree or the Accountant(s) determine that Tenant's payments of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year were less than Tenant's obligation for the calendar year, then Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after delivery of such results. If the Independent Review reveals or the Accountant(s) determine that the Operating Expenses billed to Tenant by Landlord and paid by Tenant to Landlord for the applicable calendar year in question exceeded by more than five percent (5%) what Tenant should have been billed during such calendar year, then Landlord shall pay the reasonable cost of the Independent Review and the review by the Accountant(s). In all other cases, Tenant shall pay the cost of the Independent Review.
|
9.4.
|
Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of any services or utilities incurred by Tenant and attributable to the time period prior to the Term Commencement Date. Tenant's responsibility for Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses shall continue until the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier termination of this Lease.
|
9.5.
|
Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which Tenant's obligation to share therein commences and for the calendar year in which such obligation ceases shall be prorated on a basis reasonably determined by Landlord. Expenses such as taxes, assessments and insurance premiums that are incurred for an extended time period shall be prorated based upon the time periods to which they apply so that the amounts attributed to the Premises relate in a reasonable manner to the time period wherein Tenant has an obligation to share in Operating Expenses.
|
9.6.
|
In the event that Tenant reasonably believes it is entitled to reimbursements from Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease, then, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month, Tenant shall submit to Landlord an invoice, or, in the event an invoice is not available, an itemized list, of all costs and expenses that (a) Tenant has incurred (either internally or by employing third parties) during the prior month and (b) for which Tenant reasonably believes it is entitled to reimbursements from Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease.
|
9.7.
|
[intentionally deleted]
|
9.8.
|
So long as Tenant has not assigned the Lease, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to contest applicable taxes included in Operating Expenses, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant with respect to such contest, provided Landlord shall not be required to incur any costs or liability in connection with the same.
|
9.9.
|
In the event that Tenant delivers a Turnover Notice (as defined below), for each year following the Turnover Date (as defined below), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a reasonably itemized budget for the Building and for the Common Areas (the "Operating Budget") setting forth Landlord's good faith reasonable estimate of the Operating Expenses for the following partial or full calendar year, respectively, it being agreed that Landlord shall provide such estimate by no later than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable calendar year. Upon Tenant's request from time to time within the final ninety (90) days of each calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord's then-current good faith estimate (i.e., then-current working draft) of the Operating Budget for the next following calendar year. Tenant acknowledges that the Operating Budget is simply Landlord's good faith estimate of Operating Expenses and shall in no event operate to restrict or prohibit Landlord from including in Operating Expenses amounts or categories of expenses that are not reflected on such Operating Budget. If Tenant has any comments regarding the Operating Budget, Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof within thirty (30) days after Landlord's delivery of such Operating Budget (which notice shall also set forth Tenant's comments with reasonable particularity), with the failure of Tenant to do the same within such thirty (30) day period being deemed an approval by Tenant thereof. Landlord and Tenant shall discuss the line items in the Operating Budget (or items desired to be added to or deleted from such budget) with respect to which Tenant has commented and the amounts allocated to each line item. Landlord shall consider in good faith the budget changes proposed by Tenant. In the event that the Operating Expenses which are within the control and discretion of Landlord (the "Controllable Operating Expenses") exceed the Controllable Operating Expenses for the prior year of the Term by four percent (4%) or more, that portion of the Operating Budget relating to such Controllable Operating Expenses shall be subject to Tenant's approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be required to consent to any such change (or to any resulting variation in the types or levels of services provided by Landlord) that (a) is inconsistent with the operation and management practices of landlords of Comparable Buildings or (b) Landlord reasonably determines may have an adverse effect on the Building structure or cause the Building to fail to comply with Applicable Laws. In the event that Tenant is entitled to approve the Controllable Operating Expenses set forth in the Operating Budget pursuant to the foregoing sentence, and Tenant fails to respond to Landlord within thirty (30) days of Landlord's delivery to Tenant of the Operating Budget, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved of the Operating Budget and such Controllable Operating Expenses. If Landlord determines that an Operating Budget was incorrect by a material amount, Landlord shall endeavor to provide Tenant with a revised Operating Budget; provided that such revised Operating Budget shall be accompanied by a good faith explanation of any increased amounts set forth thereon.

Taxes on Tenant's Property.
|
10.1.
|
Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency any and all taxes levied against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in or about the Premises.
|
10.2.
|
If any such taxes on Tenant's personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property or, if the assessed valuation of the Building, the Property or the Project is increased by inclusion therein of a value attributable to Tenant's personal property or trade fixtures, and if Landlord, after written notice to Tenant, pays the taxes based upon any such increase in the assessed value of the Building, the Property or the Project, then Tenant shall, upon demand, repay to Landlord the taxes so paid by Landlord.
|
10.3.
|
If any improvements in or alterations to space in the Lower Campus leased by other tenants at the Project, whether owned by Landlord or such other tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, are assessed for real property tax purposes at a valuation higher than the valuation at which improvements conforming to Landlord's building standards (the "Building Standard"), then the real property taxes and assessments levied against Landlord or the Building, the Property or the Project by reason of such excess assessed valuation shall not be included in Operating Expenses. If the records of the County Assessor are available and sufficiently detailed to serve as a basis for determining whether said improvements or alterations are assessed at a higher valuation than the Building Standard, then such records shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant.

Security Deposit.
|
11.1.
|
Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, on or before the Execution Date, the sum set forth in Section 2.6 (the "Security Deposit"), which sum shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant during the Term. If Tenant defaults (after applicable notice and cure periods) with respect to any provision of this Lease, including any provision relating to the payment of Rent, then Landlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default (after applicable notice and cure periods), or to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage that Landlord may suffer by reason of such default. If, at any time prior to the date that is 180 days prior to the expiration of the Term, any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, then Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days following demand therefor, deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount, and Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
|
11.2.
|
In the event of bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of Rent and other charges due Landlord for all periods prior to the filing of such proceedings.
|
11.3.
|
Landlord may deliver to any purchaser of Landlord's entire interest in the Premises the Security Deposit delivered hereunder by Tenant, and, upon such purchaser's agreement in writing to assume Landlord's obligations under this Lease with respect to the Security Deposit, Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to such Security Deposit. This provision shall also apply to any subsequent transfers.
|
11.4.
|
The Security Deposit, or the remaining balance thereof following Landlord's use, application or retention of the Security Deposit pursuant to Section 11.1, shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) within thirty (30) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
|
11.5.
|
Intentionally Deleted.
|
11.6.
|
If the Security Deposit shall be in cash, Landlord shall hold the Security Deposit in an interest-bearing account at a federally-insured banking organization selected by Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord shall maintain a separate account for the Security Deposit, and shall not intermingle it with other funds of Landlord. Tenant shall be entitled to all interest and/or dividends, if any, accruing on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to credit Tenant with any interest for any period during which Landlord does not receive interest on the Security Deposit.
|
11.7.
|
The Security Deposit may be in the form of cash, a letter of credit or, to the extent acceptable to Landlord in its sole discretion, any other security instrument. Tenant may at any time, except when Tenant is in Default (as defined below), deliver a letter of credit (the "L/C Security") as the entire Security Deposit, as follows:
|
11.7.1.
|
If Tenant elects to deliver L/C Security, then Tenant shall provide Landlord, and maintain in full force and effect throughout the Term and until the date that is two (2) months after the then-current Term Expiration Date, a letter of credit in the form of Exhibit E issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in the amount of the Security Deposit, with an initial term of at least one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right at any time and from time to time during the Term to deliver a cash security deposit in lieu of the L/C Security upon not less than 30 days' advance written notice to Landlord. Upon delivery of a cash security deposit by Tenant to Landlord in lieu of the L/C Security, Landlord shall promptly return the original L/C Security to Tenant. Landlord may require the L/C Security to be re-issued by a different issuer at any time during the Term if Landlord reasonably believes that the issuing bank of the L/C Security is or may soon become insolvent; provided, however, Landlord shall return the existing L/C Security to the existing issuer immediately upon receipt of the substitute L/C Security. If any issuer of the L/C Security shall become insolvent or placed into FDIC receivership, then Tenant shall within thirty (30) days thereafter deliver to Landlord (without the requirement of notice from Landlord) substitute L/C Security issued by an issuer reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and otherwise conforming to the requirements set forth in this Article. As used herein with respect to the issuer of the L/C Security, "insolvent" shall mean the determination of insolvency as made by such issuer's primary bank regulator (i.e., the state bank supervisor for state chartered banks; the OCC or OTS, respectively, for federally chartered banks or thrifts; or the Federal Reserve for its member banks).
|
11.7.2.
|
If Tenant delivers to Landlord L/C Security conforming to the requirements set forth in this Article in place of the entire Security Deposit, Landlord shall remit to Tenant any cash Security Deposit Landlord previously held within ten (10) business days after such delivery.
|
11.7.3.
|
Landlord may draw upon the L/C Security, and hold and apply the proceeds in the same manner and for the same purposes as the Security Deposit, if: (i) an uncured Default exists; (ii) as of the date thirty (30) days before any L/C Security expires (even if such scheduled expiry date is after the Term Expiration Date but the same must be before the outside expiry date required hereunder) Tenant has not delivered to Landlord an amendment or replacement for such L/C Security, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, extending the expiry date to the earlier of (1) two (2) months after the then-current Term Expiration Date or (2) the date one year after the then-current expiry date of the L/C Security; (iii) the L/C Security provides for automatic renewals, Landlord asks the issuer to confirm the current L/C Security expiry date, and the issuer fails to do so within ten (10) business days; or (iv) Tenant fails to pay (when and as Landlord reasonably requires) any bank charges for Landlord's transfer of the L/C Security; or (v) the issuer of the L/C Security ceases, or announces that it will cease, to maintain an office in the United States of America where Landlord may present drafts under the L/C Security (and fails to permit drawing upon the L/C Security by overnight courier or facsimile). This Section does not limit any other provisions of this Lease allowing Landlord to draw the L/C Security under specified circumstances.
|
11.7.4.
|
Tenant shall not seek to enjoin, prevent, or otherwise interfere with Landlord's draw under L/C Security, even if it violates this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the only effect of a wrongful draw would be to substitute a cash Security Deposit for L/C Security, causing Tenant no legally recognizable damage. Landlord shall hold the proceeds of any draw in the same manner and for the same purposes as a cash Security Deposit. In the event of a wrongful draw, the parties shall cooperate to allow Tenant to post replacement L/C Security simultaneously with the return to Tenant of the wrongfully drawn sums, and Landlord shall upon request confirm in writing to the issuer of the L/C Security that Landlord's draw was erroneous.
|
11.7.5.
|
If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises, then Tenant shall at Tenant's expense, within ten (10) business days after receiving a request from Landlord, deliver (and, if the issuer requires, Landlord shall consent to) an amendment to the L/C Security naming Landlord's grantee as substitute beneficiary. If the required Security Deposit changes while L/C Security is in force, then Tenant shall deliver (and, if the issuer requires, Landlord shall consent to) a corresponding amendment to the L/C Security.
|

Use.
|
12.1.
|
Tenant shall use the Premises for the purpose set forth in Section 2.7, and shall not use the Premises, or permit or suffer the Premises to be used, for any other purpose without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.
|
12.2.
|
Tenant shall not use or occupy the Premises in violation of Applicable Laws; zoning ordinances; or the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building or the Project, and shall, upon five (5) days' written notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises that is declared or claimed by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction to be a violation of any of the above. Tenant shall comply with any direction of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction that shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or with respect to the use or occupation thereof.
|
12.3.
|
Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything that will (a) invalidate or (b) increase the cost of (unless Tenant agrees to pay for the same), any fire, environmental, extended coverage or any other insurance policy covering the Building or the Project, and shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations and requirements of the insurers of the Building and the Project, and Tenant shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Article.
|
12.4.
|
Tenant shall, upon termination of this Lease, return to Landlord all keys to offices and restrooms either furnished to or otherwise procured by Tenant. In the event any key so furnished to Tenant is lost, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of replacing the same or of changing the lock or locks opened by such lost key if Landlord shall deem it necessary to make such change.
|
12.5.
|
No awnings or other projections shall be attached to any outside wall of the Building other than those existing as of the date hereof. Neither the interior nor exterior of any windows shall be coated or otherwise sunscreened without Landlord's prior written consent. No equipment, furniture or other items of personal property other than those in existence as of the date hereof shall be placed on any exterior balcony without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
|
12.6.
|
Tenant shall be entitled to building signage for the Premises, inside and outside the Building and on the Property ("Signage"), at Tenant's sole discretion and expense, subject to all Applicable Laws. All existing Signage is hereby approved by Landlord. For any Signage, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, (a) acquire all permits for such Signage in compliance with Applicable Laws and (b) design, fabricate, install and maintain such Signage in a first-class condition. The existing directory tablet shall be provided exclusively for the display of the name and location of tenants only.
|
12.7.
|
Tenant shall only place equipment within the Premises with floor loading consistent with the Building's structural design without Landlord's prior written approval, and such equipment shall be placed in a location designed to carry the weight of such equipment.
|
12.8.
|
Subject to Section 22, Tenant shall cause any equipment or machinery to be installed in the Premises so as to reasonably prevent sounds or vibrations therefrom from extending into the Common Areas or other buildings in the Project.
|
12.9.
|
Tenant shall not (a) do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises that shall in any way unreasonably interfere with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Project, (b) use or allow the Premises to be used for unlawful purposes, (c) cause, maintain or permit any nuisance or waste in, on or about the Project or (d) take any other action that would in Landlord's reasonable determination in any manner adversely affect other tenants' quiet use and enjoyment of their space or adversely impact their ability to conduct business in a professional and suitable work environment. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to apply similar standards on other tenants in the Project for the benefit of the Tenant.
|
12.10.
|
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible for all liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or in connection with the compliance of the Premises with the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq., and any state and local accessibility laws, codes, ordinances and rules (collectively, and together with regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, the "ADA"), provided that: (a) if ADA compliance requires alteration of the Premises from its condition as of the Term Commencement Date due to a change in the ADA or the enforcement thereof which takes effect after the Term Commencement Date; (b) such ADA compliance is not required as the result of any Alterations made by Tenant after the Term Commencement Date; and (c) such alteration of the Premises is considered capital in nature in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, then Landlord shall be responsible for performing such alterations, the cost for which shall be considered an Operating Expense and shall be amortized in accordance with Article 9. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
|
13.
|
Rules and Regulations, CC&Rs, Parking Facilities and Common Areas.
|
13.1.
|
Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right, in common with other tenants of the Project, to use the Common Areas, subject to the rules and regulations adopted by Landlord and attached hereto as Exhibit F, together with such other reasonable and nondiscriminatory rules and regulations as are hereafter promulgated by Landlord in its reasonable discretion (the "Rules and Regulations"). Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations. To the extent the Rules and Regulations conflict with the terms of this Lease, then the terms of this Lease shall prevail. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the violation or non-performance by any other tenant or any agent, employee or invitee thereof of any of the Rules and Regulations.
|
13.2.
|
This Lease is subject to any recorded covenants, conditions or restrictions on the Project or Property (the "CC&Rs"), as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time; provided that any such amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications do not materially modify Tenant's rights or obligations hereunder.

|
13.3.
|
Tenant shall have an exclusive license to use up to two hundred fifty-seven (257) of the parking spaces serving the Premises (equal to 2.1 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises), at no cost to Tenant during the Term, in the area shown on Exhibit B.
|
13.4.
|
Landlord reserves the right to modify the Common Areas, including the right to add or remove exterior and interior landscaping and to subdivide real property, provided the same does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord specifically reserves the right to allow the exclusive use of corridors and restroom facilities located on specific floors to one or more tenants occupying such floors of the Lower Campus; provided, however, that Tenant or its subtenants or assigns shall have exclusive use of the corridors, restrooms, lobbies, entryways, and patios that serve the Premises.
|
14.
|
Project Control by Landlord.
|
14.1.
|
Landlord reserves full control over the Building and the Project to the extent not inconsistent with Tenant's rights under this Lease. This reservation includes Landlord's right to subdivide the Project; convert the Lower Campus to condominium units; grant easements and licenses to third parties provided that no such easement or license materially and adversely affects Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use; maintain or establish ownership of the Building separate from fee title to the Property; make additions to or reconstruct portions of the Lower Campus provided the same does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises; install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to the Premises and other parts of the Building or the Project pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, wherever located in the Premises, the Building or elsewhere at the Project, provided the same does not materially and adversely interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises; and alter or relocate any other Common Area or facility, including private drives, lobbies and entrances located on the Lower Campus provided the same does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises.
|
14.2.
|
Subject to the provisions of Article 43 and Section 31.14, possession of areas of the Premises necessary for utilities, services, safety and operation of the Building is reserved to Landlord.
|
14.3.
|
Tenant shall, at Landlord's request, promptly execute such further documents as may be reasonably appropriate to assist Landlord in the performance of its obligations hereunder; provided that Tenant need not execute any document that creates additional liability for Tenant, that imposes additional obligations on Tenant or that deprives Tenant of the quiet enjoyment and use of the Premises as provided for in this Lease.
|
14.4.
|
Landlord may, at any and all reasonable times during non-business hours (or during business hours if Tenant so requests), and upon twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice (provided that no time restrictions shall apply or advance notice be required if an emergency necessitates immediate entry), enter the Premises to (a) inspect the same and to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with its obligations hereunder, (b) supply any service Landlord is required to provide hereunder, (c) show the Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants during the final year of the Term, (d) post notices of non-responsibility, (e) access the telephone equipment, electrical substation and fire risers and (f) alter, improve or repair any portion of the Building other than the Premises and other than areas for which access to the Premises is reasonably necessary. In connection with any such alteration, improvement or repair as described in Subsection 14.4(f), Landlord may erect in the Premises or elsewhere in the Project scaffolding and other structures reasonably required for the alteration, improvement or repair work to be performed, provided the same does not materially and adversely impair Tenant's use of the Premises. In no event shall Tenant's Rent abate as a result of Landlord's activities pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that all such activities shall be conducted in such a manner so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as is reasonably possible. Landlord shall at all times retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in the Premises. If an emergency necessitates immediate access to the Premises, Landlord may use whatever force is necessary to enter the Premises, and any such entry to the Premises shall not constitute a forcible or unlawful entry to the Premises, a detainer of the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.
|
15.
|
Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease after applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord or anyone acting through or under Landlord shall not disturb Tenant's occupancy of the Premises, except as permitted by this Lease.
|
16.
|
Utilities and Services. The parties acknowledge that Tenant shall initially be responsible for the utilities and services to the Premises including, without limitation, the utilities and services listed as Tenant's responsibility on Exhibit J attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and that Landlord's responsibilities under this Article 16 do not arise until after the Turnover Date (or unless otherwise specifically set forth herein).
|
16.1.
|
Landlord shall provide the following services and utilities to the Premises to a standard consistent with those provided to Comparable Buildings: the following services shall be provided 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year unless Tenant elects to reduce such hours: hot and cold water; gas; heat, ventilation and air conditioning; light; telephone; fire and life safety; electricity; sewer; other utilities; security system services existing as of the Term Commencement Date. In addition, Landlord shall provide cleaning (internal and external) and trash removal at reasonable times or as otherwise mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant (provided Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide internal cleaning and trash removal after 5:00 p.m. on weekdays); extermination and pest control at appropriate intervals; snow removal from sidewalks, drives, and entrances at reasonable times or as otherwise mutually agreed to by Landlord and Tenant (provided Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such snow removal prior to 7:00 a.m. on any weekday or weekend day); elevator service with at least one (1) elevator in service and operational at all times; and access to the Premises (including, without limitation, the Building and the parking facilities) twenty-four (24) hours per day, three hundred sixty-five (365) days per year. Tenant shall pay for the foregoing along with any fees, surcharges and taxes thereon. If any such utility is not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay a reasonable proportion (to be determined by Landlord based on Tenant's usage) of all charges of such utility jointly metered with other premises in the Building as part of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses or, in the alternative, Landlord may, at its option, monitor the usage of such utilities by Tenant and pay the cost of purchasing, installing and monitoring such metering equipment, which cost shall be paid by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Lease Term, Landlord and Tenant shall discuss, on an annual basis, the scope of services and utilities to be provided to Tenant under this Lease and Tenant shall have the right to request and Landlord shall consider in good faith any request for adjustment in the amount and/or quality of services and utilities provided Tenant confirms that it shall pay the costs of the same as Operating Expenses.

Except with respect to the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Landlord, its contractors, employees or agents, Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall any eviction of Tenant result from, the failure to furnish any utility or service Landlord is required to provide pursuant to this Lease, whether or not such failure is caused by accident; breakage; repair; strike, lockout or other labor disturbance or labor dispute of any character; act of terrorism; shortage of materials, which shortage is not unique to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be; governmental regulation, moratorium or other governmental action, inaction or delay; or other causes beyond Landlord's control (collectively, "Force Majeure"). In the event of such failure, Tenant shall not be entitled to termination of this Lease or any abatement or reduction of Rent, nor shall Tenant be relieved from the operation of any covenant or agreement of this Lease. Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence and good faith efforts to remedy any interruption, curtailment, stoppage or suspension of services, utilities or systems, and if any interruption of the services, utilities or systems is caused by Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct and shall continue for more than five (5) business days and shall render any material portion of the Premises unusable for the purpose of conducting Tenant's business as permitted under this Lease, then all Base Rent payable hereunder with respect to the affected portion of the Premises shall be abated for the period beginning on the sixth (6th) business day of such failure and shall continue until substantial use of the entire Premises is restored to Tenant. In addition, if any such interruption is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and such interruption renders a material portion of the Premises untenantable or reasonably unusable by Tenant for its business purposes, and Tenant, by reason thereof, cannot occupy all or such material portion of the Premises for thirty (30) consecutive days or a total of ninety (90) days out of a one hundred twenty (120) consecutive day period, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after such one hundred twenty (120) day period expires, and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other except for such obligations as are expressly stated in this Lease to survive the termination of this Lease.

Landlord shall keep said meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair at Landlord's sole cost and expense. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on said meter, as and when bills are rendered. If Tenant fails to timely make such payments, Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant. Any such costs or expenses incurred, or payments made by Landlord for any of the reasons or purposes hereinabove stated, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent payment by Tenant and collectible by Landlord as such.
|
16.7.
|
Regardless of whether or not a Turnover has occurred, provided Landlord does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises and provided Landlord uses commercially reasonable efforts to provide such service again as soon as is reasonably possible after the cessation thereof, Landlord reserves the right to stop service of the elevator, plumbing, ventilation, air conditioning and electric systems due to accident, emergency or the need to make repairs, alterations or improvements, until such repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed, and Landlord shall further have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply elevator facilities, plumbing, ventilation, air conditioning or electric service when prevented from doing so by Force Majeure; a failure by a third party to deliver gas, oil or another suitable fuel supply; or Landlord's inability by exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain gas, oil or another suitable fuel. Without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed that any covenants on Landlord's part to furnish any service pursuant to any of the terms, covenants, conditions, provisions or agreements of this Lease, or to perform any act or thing for the benefit of Tenant, shall not be deemed breached if Landlord is unable to furnish or perform the same by virtue of Force Majeure.

Tenant shall retain records of utility usage at the Premises, including invoices and statements from the utility provider, for at least sixty (60) months, or such other shorter period of time as may be requested by Landlord. Tenant acknowledges that any utility information for the Premises, the Building and the Project may be shared with third parties, including Landlord's consultants and Governmental Authorities.

17.1.
|
Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Premises or engage in any construction, demolition, reconstruction, renovation, or other work (whether major or minor) of any kind in, at, or serving the Premises ("Alterations") without Landlord's prior written approval, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that in the event any proposed Alteration affects (a) any structural portions of the Building, including exterior walls, roof, foundation, foundation systems (including barriers and subslab systems), or core of the Building, (b) the exterior of the Building or (c) any Building systems, including elevator, plumbing, air conditioning, heating, electrical, security, life safety and power, then Landlord may withhold its approval with respect thereto in its sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall, in making any such Alterations, use only those architects, contractors, suppliers and mechanics of which Landlord has given prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In seeking Landlord's approval, Tenant shall provide Landlord, at least fourteen (14) days in advance of any proposed construction, with plans, specifications, bid proposals, certified stamped engineering drawings and calculations by Tenant's engineer of record or architect or record, (including connections to the Building's structural system, modifications to the Building's envelope, non-structural penetrations in slabs or walls, and modifications or tie-ins to life safety systems), work contracts, requests for laydown areas and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the Alterations as Landlord may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may make strictly cosmetic changes to the Premises ("Cosmetic Alterations") without Landlord's consent; provided that (y) the cost of any Cosmetic Alterations does not exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) in any one instance or Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in any twelve-month period, (z) such Cosmetic Alterations do not (i) require any structural modifications to the Premises, (ii) require any changes to, or adversely affect, the Building systems, (iii) affect the exterior of the Buildings or (iv) trigger any requirement under Applicable Laws that would require Landlord to make any alteration or improvement to the Premises, the Building or the Project. Tenant shall give Landlord at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of any Cosmetic Alterations.
|
17.2.
|
Tenant shall not construct or permit to be constructed partitions or other obstructions that might interfere with free access to mechanical installation or service facilities of the Building or with other tenants' components located within the Building, or interfere with the moving of Landlord's equipment to or from the enclosures containing such installations or facilities.

17.5.
|
Before commencing any work, Tenant shall give Landlord at least five (5) business days' prior written notice of the proposed commencement of such work; provided, however, in the event that the deadline for Landlord to post any notices of non-responsibility or similar notices requires more advance notice, Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior written notice at least two (2) business days' prior to such deadline. If the work is anticipated to cost more than $250,000, and if required by Landlord, Tenant shall secure, at Tenant's own cost and expense, a completion and lien indemnity bond satisfactory to Landlord for said work (unless said work relates to Cosmetic Alterations).

|
Except as to those items listed on Exhibit H attached hereto, all business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, built-in furniture and cabinets, together with all additions and accessories thereto, installed in and upon the Premises and owned by Tenant as of the date of this Lease shall be and remain the property of Tenant and shall not be moved by Tenant at any time during the Term (unless the same is replaced with items of reasonably equivalent value). If Tenant shall fail to remove any of its effects from the Premises which are not required to stay in the Premises under the terms of this Lease prior to or upon the termination of this Lease, then upon prior written notice to Tenant Landlord may, at its option, remove the same in any manner that Landlord shall choose and store said effects without liability to Tenant for loss thereof or damage thereto, and Tenant shall pay Landlord, upon demand, any costs and expenses incurred due to such removal and storage or Landlord may, at its sole option and without notice to Tenant, sell such property or any portion thereof at private sale and without legal process for such price as Landlord may obtain and apply the proceeds of such sale against any (a) amounts due by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and (b) any expenses incident to the removal, storage and sale of said personal property, with the balance thereafter being paid to Tenant.

For purposes of payment of such sum, Tenant shall submit to Landlord copies of all bills, invoices and statements covering the costs of such charges, accompanied by payment to Landlord of the fee set forth in this Section.

Tenant shall, upon the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, surrender the Premises to Landlord in as good a condition as when received, ordinary wear and tear excepted; and shall remove all of Tenant's personal property listed on Exhibit H attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (which list may be updated from time to time by Tenant, subject to Landlord's prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and repair any damage to the Premises caused thereby.

Liens.
|
19.1.
|
Tenant shall keep the Premises, the Building and the Project free from any liens arising out of work performed by, materials furnished to or obligations incurred by Tenant. Tenant further covenants and agrees that any mechanic's lien filed against the Premises, the Building or the Project for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant shall be discharged or bonded by Tenant within ten (10) days after the filing thereof, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
|
19.2.
|
Should Tenant fail to discharge or bond against any lien of the nature described in Section 19.1, Landlord may, at Landlord's election, pay such claim or post a bond or otherwise provide security to eliminate the lien as a claim against title, and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the costs thereof as Additional Rent. Tenant shall indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord's option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless from and against any Claims arising from any such liens, including any administrative, court or other legal proceedings related to such liens.

|
In the event that Tenant leases or finances the acquisition of trade fixtures, office equipment, furnishings or other personal property of a removable nature utilized by Tenant in the operation of Tenant's business, Tenant warrants that any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement shall, upon its face or by exhibit thereto, indicate that such financing statement is applicable only to removable personal property of Tenant located within the Premises. In no event shall the address of the Premises, the Building or the Project be furnished on a financing statement without qualifying language as to applicability of the lien only to removable personal property located in an identified suite leased by Tenant. Should any holder of a financing statement record or place of record a financing statement that appears to constitute a lien against any interest of Landlord or against equipment that may be located other than within an identified suite leased by Tenant, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after filing such financing statement, cause (a) a copy of the Lender security agreement or other documents to which the financing statement pertains to be furnished to Landlord to facilitate Landlord's ability to demonstrate that the lien of such financing statement is not applicable to Landlord's interest and (b) Tenant's Lender to amend such financing statement and any other documents of record to clarify that any liens imposed thereby are not applicable to any interest of Landlord in the Premises, the Building or the Project.

Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which the Premises are a part. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such the prescribed time shall, at Landlord's option, constitute a Default (as defined below) under this Lease, and, in any event, shall be binding upon Tenant that the Lease is in full force and effect and without modification except as may be represented by Landlord in any certificate prepared by Landlord and delivered to Tenant for execution. Landlord shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant, execute, acknowledge and deliver a comparable certificate to Tenant as set forth above, provided Landlord's failure to deliver such statement within such prescribed time shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment by Landlord that the Lease is in full force and effect and without modification.

21.
|
Hazardous Materials.
|
21.1.
|
Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (as defined below) to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project in violation of Applicable Laws by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees. In the event that: (a) any Hazardous Materials are brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises, the Building or the Project in violation of Applicable Laws by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees at any time during the Term or any extension or renewal hereof or holding over hereunder, (b) the presence of Hazardous Materials is the result of Tenant's breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 21.1 and results in contamination of the Project, any portion thereof, or any adjacent property, or (c) contamination of the Project, any portion thereof, or any adjacent property by Hazardous Materials otherwise occurs at any time during the Term or any extension or renewal hereof or holding over hereunder, then Tenant shall indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord's option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims, including (a) diminution in value of the Project or any portion thereof, (b) damages for the loss or restriction on use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Project, (c) damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space in the Project or any portion thereof and (d) sums paid in settlement of Claims that arise prior to, during or after the Term as a result of such breach or contamination. This indemnification by Tenant includes costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any clean-up, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any Governmental Authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or groundwater above, on or under or about the Project. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Project, any portion thereof or any adjacent property caused or permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Project, any portion thereof or any adjacent property, then Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole cost and expense as are necessary to return the Project, any portion thereof or any adjacent property to its respective condition existing prior to the time of such contamination; provided that Landlord's written approval of such action shall first be obtained, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold; and provided, further, that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent if such actions could have a material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Project, any portion thereof or any adjacent property. Nothing in the foregoing shall obligate Tenant to provide any indemnity with respect to periods prior to the Commencement Date.
|
21.2.
|
Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Article to prohibit Tenant from operating its business for the Permitted Use. Tenant may operate its business according to the custom of Tenant's industry so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored in accordance with Applicable Laws. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord upon the request of Landlord prior to the Term Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Material to be present at the Project and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence of such Hazardous Material at the Project (the "Hazardous Materials List"). Upon Landlord's request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List on or prior to each annual anniversary of the Term Commencement Date and shall also deliver an updated Hazardous Materials List before any new Hazardous Materials are brought to the Project. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (hereinafter referred to as the "Documents") relating to the handling, storage, disposal and emission of Hazardous Materials prior to the Term Commencement Date or, if unavailable at that time, concurrently with the receipt from or submission to any Governmental Authority: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; notices of violations of Applicable Laws; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in, on, under or about the Project (provided that installation of storage tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on, under or about the Project for the closure of any such storage tanks. Tenant shall not be required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion of the Documents containing information of a proprietary nature, which Documents, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or activities related to Hazardous Materials. Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant agrees that it shall enter into a written agreement with other tenants of the Project concerning the equitable allocation of fire control areas (as defined in the Uniform Building Code as adopted by the city or municipality(ies) in which the Project is located (the "UBC")) within the Project for the storage of Hazardous Materials. In the event that Tenant's use of Hazardous Materials is such that it utilizes fire control areas in the Project in excess of Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Building or Common Areas, as applicable, as set forth in Section 2.2, Tenant agrees that it shall, at its sole cost and expense and upon Landlord's written request, establish and maintain a separate area of the Premises classified by the UBC as an "H" occupancy area for the use and storage of Hazardous Materials or take such other action as is necessary to ensure that its share of the fire control areas of the Building and the Project is not greater than Tenant's Pro Rata Share of the Building or Common Areas, as applicable.
|
21.3.
|
At any time, and from time to time, prior to the expiration of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of the Project or any portion thereof to demonstrate that Hazardous Materials are present or that contamination has occurred due to Tenant or Tenant's employees, agents, contractors or invitees. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs of such tests if such tests reveal that Hazardous Materials exist at the Project in violation of this Lease.
|
21.4.
|
If underground or other storage tanks storing Hazardous Materials are located on the Premises or are hereafter placed on the Premises by any party, Tenant shall monitor the storage tanks, maintain appropriate records, implement reporting procedures, properly close any underground storage tanks, and take or cause to be taken all other steps necessary or required under the Applicable Laws.
|
21.5.
|
Tenant's obligations under this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. During any period of time needed by Tenant or Landlord after the termination of this Lease to complete the removal from the Premises of any such Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall be deemed a holdover tenant and subject to the provisions of Article 27 below.
|
21.6.
|
As used herein, the term "Hazardous Material" means any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste that is or becomes regulated by any Governmental Authority.
|
21.7.
|
Landlord shall require other tenants in the Project to comply with obligations comparable to those set forth in this Article 21.
|
22.
|
Odors and Exhaust. Tenant will restrict odors or fumes (whether or not noxious), from emanating from the Premises, provided, however, that Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall have the right to operate one or more (currently three) supplemental generators during the Term generally consistent with the demand response requirements currently set forth in Tenant's utility contract with Enernoc, a copy of which has been provided to Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to operate such generators on a regular basis for maintenance purposes and at any other times in Tenant's reasonable discretion.
|
22.1.
|
Tenant shall vent all fumes and odors from the Premises (and remove odors from Tenant's exhaust stream) in compliance with Applicable Laws, and as Landlord reasonably requires. The placement and configuration of all material changes to the ventilation exhaust pipes, louvers and other equipment shall be subject to Landlord's approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
|
22.2.
|
Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, provide odor eliminators and other devices (such as filters, air cleaners, scrubbers and whatever other equipment may in Landlord's reasonable judgment be necessary or appropriate from time to time) to remove, eliminate and abate to the extent practicable any odors, fumes or other substances in Tenant's exhaust stream that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, emanate from Tenant's Premises. Any work Tenant performs under this Section shall constitute Alterations.
|
22.3.
|
Tenant's obligations under this Article 22 shall continue throughout the Term. In connection with any request by Tenant to make Alterations associated with the ventilation system of the Building, Landlord's approval of such Alterations shall not preclude Landlord from requiring additional measures to eliminate odors, fumes and other adverse impacts of Tenant's exhaust stream (as Landlord may designate in Landlord's discretion).
|
22.4.
|
23.
|
Insurance; Waiver of Subrogation.
|
23.1.
|
Landlord shall maintain insurance for the Building and the Project in amounts equal to full replacement cost (exclusive of the costs of excavation, foundations and footings, and without reference to depreciation taken by Landlord upon its books or tax returns) or such lesser coverage as Landlord may reasonably elect, provided that such coverage shall not be less than ninety-five percent (95%) of such full replacement cost or the amount of such insurance Landlord's Lender, if any, requires Landlord to maintain, providing protection against any peril generally included within the classification "Fire and Extended Coverage," together with insurance against sprinkler damage (if applicable), vandalism and malicious mischief. Landlord, subject to availability thereof, shall further insure, if Landlord deems it appropriate, coverage against flood, environmental hazard, loss or failure of building equipment, rental loss during the period of repairs or rebuilding, workmen's compensation insurance and fidelity bonds for employees employed to perform services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, but shall not be deemed required to, provide insurance for any improvements installed by Tenant or that are in addition to the standard improvements customarily furnished by Landlord, without regard to whether or not such are made a part of or are affixed to the Building.
|
23.2.

In addition, Landlord shall carry comprehensive public liability insurance with limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence for death or bodily injury or property damage with respect to the Project.

Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, procure and maintain in effect, beginning on the Term Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Term (and occupancy by Tenant, if any, after termination of this Lease) comprehensive public liability insurance with limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence for death or bodily injury and for property damage with respect to the Premises (including $100,000 fire legal liability (each loss)).

The insurance required to be purchased and maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall name Landlord, BioMed Realty, L.P., BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, general partners, members, subsidiaries, affiliates and Lenders ("Landlord Parties") as additional insureds. Said insurance shall be with companies having a rating of not less than policyholder rating of A minus and financial category rating of at least Class VIII X in "Best's Insurance Guide." Tenant shall obtain for Landlord from the insurance companies or cause the insurance companies to furnish certificates of coverage to Landlord. No such policy shall be cancelable or subject to cancellation except after thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord from the insurer (except in the event of non-payment of premium, in which case ten (10) days' written notice shall be given). All such policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of the coverage that Landlord may carry. Tenant's policy may be a "blanket policy" that specifically provides that the amount of insurance shall not be prejudiced by other losses covered by the policy. Tenant shall, at least twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or binders. Tenant agrees that if Tenant does not take out and maintain such insurance, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure said insurance on Tenant's behalf and at its cost to be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent.
|
23.5.
|
Tenant assumes the risk of damage to any fixtures, goods, inventory, merchandise, equipment and leasehold improvements owned by Tenant, and Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant's business or any loss of income therefrom, relative to such damage, all as more particularly set forth within this Lease. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, carry such insurance as Tenant desires for Tenant's protection with respect to personal property of Tenant or business interruption.
|
23.6.
|
In each instance where insurance is to name Landlord Parties as additional insureds, Tenant shall, upon Landlord's written request, also designate and furnish certificates evidencing such Landlord Parties as additional insureds to (a) any Lender of Landlord holding a security interest in the Building, the Property or the Project, (b) the landlord under any lease whereunder Landlord is a tenant of the Property if the interest of Landlord is or shall become that of a tenant under a ground lease rather than that of a fee owner and (c) any management company retained by Landlord to manage the Project.
|
23.7.
|
Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other or against the officers, directors, employees, agents, general partners, members, subsidiaries, affiliates and Lenders of the other on account of loss or damage occasioned by such waiving party or its property or the property of others under such waiving party's control, in each case to the extent that such loss or damage is insured against under any fire and extended coverage insurance policy that either Landlord or Tenant may have in force at the time of such loss or damage or is required to be carried under this Lease. Such waivers shall continue so long as their respective insurers so permit. Any termination of such a waiver shall be by written notice to the other party, containing a description of the circumstances hereinafter set forth in this Section. Landlord and Tenant, upon obtaining the policies of insurance required or permitted under this Lease, shall give notice to the insurance carrier or carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this Lease, to the extent required by the applicable insurance policy. If such policies shall not be obtainable with such waiver or shall be so obtainable only at a premium over that chargeable without such waiver, then the party seeking such policy shall notify the other of such conditions, and the party so notified shall have ten (10) days thereafter to either (a) procure such insurance with companies reasonably satisfactory to the other party or (b) agree to pay such additional premium (in Tenant's case, in the proportion that the area of the Premises bears to the insured area). If the parties do not accomplish either (a) or (b), then this Section shall have no effect during such time as such policies shall not be obtainable or the party in whose favor a waiver of subrogation is desired refuses to pay the additional premium. If such policies shall at any time be unobtainable, but shall be subsequently obtainable, then neither party shall be subsequently liable for a failure to obtain such insurance until a reasonable time after notification thereof by the other party. If the release of either Landlord or Tenant, as set forth in the first sentence of this Section, shall contravene Applicable Laws, then the liability of the party in question shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the other party's insurer.
|
23.8.
|
Landlord may require insurance policy limits required under this Lease to be raised from time to time, provided, that, such increases shall not exceed the coverage amounts required by landlords in other Comparable Buildings.
|
23.9.
|
Any costs incurred by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall constitute a portion of Operating Expenses.
|
24.
|
Damage or Destruction.
|
24.2.
|
In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises or the Common Areas other than as described in Section 24.1, Landlord may elect to repair, reconstruct and restore the Premises or the Common Areas, as applicable, in which case this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Landlord elects not to repair the Building or the Project, as applicable, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such damage or destruction.
|
24.3.
|
Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days following the date of damage or destruction of its election not to repair, reconstruct or restore the Building or the Project, as applicable, subject to the terms of this Lease.
|
24.4.
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, in the event of any damage to or destruction of (a) the Building that materially and adversely affects Tenant's operations within the Premises; (b) the Common Areas that materially and adversely impairs Tenant's access to the Premises; or (c) twenty-five percent (25%) of Tenant's lab space or fifty percent (50%) of Tenant's office space in the Premises, as determined by Landlord's architect (each, a "Material Loss"), and the Premises cannot be made reasonably tenantable for Tenant's operations or access to the Premises cannot be reasonably restored within one year after date of such damage or destruction, as reasonably estimated by Landlord within ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction occurred, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease as of the date of such damage or destruction.
|
24.5.
|
Upon any termination of this Lease under any of the provisions of this Article, the parties shall be released thereby without further obligation to the other from the date possession of the Premises is surrendered to Landlord, except with regard to (a) items occurring prior to the damage or destruction and (b) provisions of this Lease that, by their express terms, survive the expiration or earlier termination hereof.
|
24.6.
|
In the event of repair, reconstruction and restoration as provided in this Article, all Rent to be paid by Tenant under this Lease shall be abated proportionately based on the extent to which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired during the period of such repair, reconstruction or restoration, unless Landlord provides Tenant with other space during the period of repair that, in Tenant's reasonable opinion, is suitable for the temporary conduct of Tenant's business; provided, however, that the amount of such abatement shall be reduced by the proceeds of business interruption or loss of rental income insurance actually received by Tenant with respect to the Premises.
|
24.7.
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, should Landlord be delayed or prevented from completing the repair, reconstruction or restoration of the damage or destruction to the Premises after the occurrence of such damage or destruction by Force Majeure, then the time for Landlord to commence or complete repairs shall be extended on a day-for-day basis; provided, however, after one hundred eighty (180) days of such delay, that, at Landlord's election, Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repair, reconstruction or restoration. If Landlord elects not to make such repair, reconstruction or restoration and such damage or destruction constitutes a Material Loss, then Tenant shall have a right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage or destruction.
|
24.8.
|
If Landlord is obligated to or elects to repair, reconstruct or restore as herein provided, then Landlord shall be obligated to make such repair, reconstruction or restoration only with regard to (a) those portions of the Premises that were originally provided at Landlord's expense or in existence at the Commencement Date and (b) the Common Area portion of the Affected Areas. The repair, reconstruction or restoration of improvements not originally provided by Landlord at Landlord's expense or in existence as of the Commencement Date shall be the obligation of Tenant. In the event Tenant has elected to upgrade certain improvements from the Building Standard, Landlord shall, upon the need for replacement due to an insured loss, provide only the Building Standard, unless Tenant again elects to upgrade such improvements and pay any incremental costs related thereto, except to the extent that excess insurance proceeds, if received, are adequate to provide such upgrades, in addition to providing for basic repair, reconstruction and restoration of the Premises, the Building and the Project.
|
24.9.
|
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair, reconstruct or restore the Premises if the damage resulting from any casualty covered under this Article occurs during the last eighteen (18) months of the Term or any extension hereof or to the extent that insurance proceeds are not available; provided, however, if Landlord elects not ot make such repair, reconstruction or restoration and such damage or destruction constitutes a Material Loss, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage or destruction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article, in the event that any Material Loss occurs during the last eighteen (18) months of the Term and the Premises cannot be reasonably restored within six (6) months after the date of such damage or destruction, as reasonably estimated by Landlord within ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction occurred, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease as of the date of such damage or destruction.
|
24.10.
|
Landlord's obligation, should it elect or be obligated to repair or rebuild, shall be limited to the Affected Areas. Tenant shall, at its expense, replace or fully repair all of Tenant's personal property and any Alterations installed by Tenant existing at the time of such damage or destruction. If Affected Areas are to be repaired in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord shall make available to Tenant any portion of insurance proceeds it receives that are allocable to the Alterations constructed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease; provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease, and subject to the requirements of any Lender of Landlord.
|
25.
|
Eminent Domain.
|
25.1.
|
In the event (a) the whole of all or either of the Affected Areas or (b) such part thereof as shall substantially interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use shall be taken for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of the right of appropriation, condemnation or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease effective as of the date possession is required to be surrendered to said authority, except with regard to (y) items occurring prior to the damage or destruction and (z) provisions of this Lease that, by their express terms, survive the expiration or earlier termination hereof.
|
25.2.
|
In the event of a partial taking of (a) the Building or the Common Areas or (b) drives, walkways or parking areas serving the Building or the Project for any public or quasi-public purpose by any lawful power or authority by exercise of right of appropriation, condemnation, or eminent domain, or sold to prevent such taking, then, without regard to whether any portion of the Premises occupied by Tenant was so taken, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease (except with regard to (a) items occurring prior to the damage or destruction and (b) provisions of this Lease that, by their express terms, survive the expiration or earlier termination hereof) as of such taking if such taking is, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, of a material nature such as to make it uneconomical to continue use of the unappropriated portion for purposes of renting office or laboratory space and Landlord terminates all of the other leases in the Project similarly affected.
|
25.3.
|
Tenant shall be entitled to any award that is specifically awarded as compensation for (a) the taking of Tenant's personal property that was installed at Tenant's expense and (b) the costs of Tenant moving to a new location. Except as set forth in the previous sentence, any award for such taking shall be the property of Landlord.
|
25.4.
|
If, upon any taking of the nature described in this Article, this Lease continues in effect, then Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Affected Areas to substantially their same condition prior to such partial taking. To the extent such restoration is infeasible, as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, the Rent shall be decreased proportionately to reflect the loss of any portion of the Premises no longer available to Tenant.
|
26.

|
26.3.
|
The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant shall not effect a merger with Landlord's fee title or leasehold interest in the Premises, the Building, the Property or the Project, unless Landlord consents in writing, and shall, at Landlord's option, operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all subleases.
|
26.4.
|
The voluntary or other surrender of any ground or other underlying lease that now exists or may hereafter be executed affecting the Building or the Project, or a mutual cancellation thereof or of Landlord's interest therein by Landlord and its lessor shall not effect a merger with Landlord's fee title or leasehold interest in the Premises, the Building or the Property and shall, at the option of the successor to Landlord's interest in the Building or the Project, as applicable, operate as an assignment of this Lease.
|
27.
|

|
27.4.
|

|
Indemnification and Exculpation.
|
28.1.
|
Tenant agrees to indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord's option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold the Landlord Indemnitees harmless from and against any and all Claims arising from injury or death to any person or damage to any property occurring within or about the Project arising directly or indirectly out of Tenant's or Tenant's employees', agents', contractors' or invitees' use or occupancy of the Project or a breach or default by Tenant in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, except in all cases to the extent caused by Landlord's or Landlord's employees', agents' or contractors' negligence or willful misconduct.

Tenant further waives any claim for injury to Tenant's business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal property as described in this Section.
|
28.3.
|
Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act, omission or neglect of any other tenant in the Building or the Project, or for any other third party.
|
28.4.
|
Tenant acknowledges that security devices and services, if any, while intended to deter crime, may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts. Landlord shall not be liable for injuries or losses caused by criminal acts of third parties, and Tenant assumes the risk that any security device or service may malfunction or otherwise be circumvented by a criminal. If Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts, then Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, obtain appropriate insurance coverage.
|
28.5.
|
The provisions of this Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
|
29.
|
Assignment or Subletting.
|
29.1.
|
Except as hereinafter expressly permitted, Tenant shall not, either voluntarily or by operation of Applicable Laws, directly or indirectly sell, hypothecate, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer this Lease, or sublet the Premises (each, a "Transfer"), without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Transfer shall not include and Tenant shall have the right to transfer, sublease or assign this Lease without Landlord's prior written consent the Premises or any part thereof to any person that as of the date of determination and at all times thereafter directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant or Dr. J. Craig Venter ("Tenant's Affiliate"), provided that Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing at least ten (10) days prior to the effectiveness of such transfer, sublease or assignment to Tenant's Affiliate (an "Exempt Transfer") and otherwise comply with the requirements of this Lease (other than this Section 29) regarding such Exempt Transfer. For purposes of Exempt Transfers, "control" requires either: (a) owning (directly or indirectly) more than fifty percent (50%) of the stock or other equity interests of another person or (b) possessing, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such person.
|
29.2.
|
Commencing promptly after the Commencement Date and continuing until the earlier of (i) the second anniversary of the Commencement Date and (ii) the date on which Landlord has entered into leases for all of the available office space in the Lower Campus, (A) Landlord and Tenant will jointly market the Lower Campus and the Building (to the extent Tenant desires to sublease the Building) to prospective tenants and subtenants, as applicable, on terms acceptable to Landlord (with respect to the Lower Campus and to Tenant (with respect to Building 1) and (B) Tenant shall not effect a Transfer to or with an entity that is a then-current tenant at the Lower Campus without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld by Landlord in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Thereafter, Tenant shall have the right to market, advertise and sublease space in the Building or assign the Lease in accordance with the provisions of Section 29.1. Upon Tenant's reasonable request from time to time, Landlord shall provide documentation of the leasing status of the Lower Campus. In connection with the joint marketing of the Lower Campus and the Building, Landlord shall be solely responsible for all costs and fees associated with the leasing of the Lower Campus and Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs and fees associated with the leasing of the Building.
|
29.3.
|
In the event Tenant desires to effect a Transfer, then, at least thirty (30) but not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date when Tenant desires the assignment or sublease to be effective (the "Transfer Date"), Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord (the "Transfer Notice") containing information (including references) concerning the character of the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee; the Transfer Date; any ownership or commercial relationship between Tenant and the proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee; and the consideration and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, all in such detail as Landlord shall reasonably require.
|
29.4.
|
Landlord, in determining whether consent should be given to a proposed Transfer, may give consideration to (a) the financial strength of such transferee, assignee or sublessee (notwithstanding Tenant remaining liable for Tenant's performance), provided however that Landlord shall not have the right to review and approve the financial strength of any subtenant subleasing space which comprises less than all of the Premises and for a term of less than all or substantially all of the balance of the Term, and (b) any change in use that such transferee, assignee or sublessee proposes to make in the use of the Premises. Except as set forth herein to the contrary, in no event shall Landlord be deemed to be unreasonable for declining to consent to a Transfer to a transferee, assignee or sublessee of poor reputation, lacking financial qualifications or seeking a change from the Permitted Use, or jeopardizing directly or indirectly the status of Landlord or any of Landlord's affiliates as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as the same may be amended from time to time, the "Revenue Code"). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, (w) no Transfer shall be consummated on any basis such that the rental or other amounts to be paid by the occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee thereunder would be based, in whole or in part, on the income or profits derived by the business activities of such occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee; (x) Tenant shall not furnish or render any services beyond what is typical in the market to an occupant, assignee, manager or other transferee with respect to whom consideration is required to be paid to Landlord pursuant to Section 29.5.2, or manage or operate the Premises or any capital additions so transferred, with respect to which consideration is required to be paid to Landlord pursuant to Section 29.5.2, without Landlord's consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, to ensure the Landlord Parties' compliance with applicable REIT tax rules and regulations; (y) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person in which Landlord owns an interest, directly or indirectly (by applying constructive ownership rules set forth in Section 856(d)(5) of the Revenue Code); and (z) Tenant shall not consummate a Transfer with any person or in any manner that could cause any portion of the amounts received by Landlord pursuant to this Lease or any sublease, license or other arrangement for the right to use, occupy or possess any portion of the Premises to fail to qualify as "rents from real property" within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Revenue Code, or any similar or successor provision thereto or which could cause any other income of Landlord to fail to qualify as income described in Section 856(c)(2) of the Revenue Code.
|
29.5.
|
As conditions precedent to Tenant subleasing the Premises or to Landlord considering a request by Tenant to Tenant's transfer of rights or sharing of the Premises, Landlord may require any or all of the following:
|
29.5.1.
|
Tenant shall remain fully liable under this Lease during the unexpired Term;
|
29.5.2.
|
If Tenant's transfer of rights or sharing of the Premises provides for the receipt by, on behalf of or on account of Tenant of any consideration of any kind whatsoever (including a premium rental for a sublease or lump sum payment for an assignment, but excluding Tenant's reasonable costs in marketing and subleasing the Premises) in excess of the rental and other charges due to Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall pay fifty percent (50%) of all of such excess to Landlord, after making deductions for any reasonable marketing expenses, tenant improvement funds expended by Tenant, alterations, cash concessions, brokerage commissions, attorneys' fees and free rent actually paid by Tenant. If said consideration consists of cash paid to Tenant, payment to Landlord shall be made upon receipt by Tenant of such cash payment; and
|
29.5.3.
|
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Landlord's actual and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements incurred in connection with the review, processing and documentation of such request, not in excess of Six Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($6,500.00) per occurrence/request.
|
29.6.
|
The proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall agree that, in the event Landlord gives such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee notice that, so long as Tenant is in Default under this Lease, such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Tenant directly to Landlord, which payments shall be received by Landlord without any liability being incurred by Landlord, except to credit such payment against those due by Tenant under this Lease, and any such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns should this Lease be terminated for any reason; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord or its Lenders, successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment, except Landlord shall provide a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement to any entity that subleases for greater than one-half (1/2) of the Premises or takes an assignment of the Lease;
|
29.7.
|
Landlord's consent to any such Transfer shall be effected on commercially reasonable forms;
|
29.8.
|
Tenant shall not be in default of any its monetary obligations or in Default of any of its non-monetary obligations hereunder.
|
29.9.
|
Such proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee shall not use the Premises for any use that is not a Permitted Use;
|
29.10.
|
Landlord shall not be bound by any provision of any agreement pertaining to the Transfer, except for Landlord's written consent to the same and except for the non-disturbance described above;
|
29.11.
|
Tenant shall pay all transfer and other taxes (including interest and penalties) assessed or payable for any Transfer;
|
29.12.
|
Landlord's consent (or waiver of its rights) for any Transfer shall not waive Landlord's right to consent to any later Transfer;
|
29.13.
|
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one executed copy of any and all written instruments evidencing the Transfer; and
|
29.14.
|
Any Transfer that is not in compliance with the provisions of this Article shall be void and a default.
|
29.15.
|
The consent by Landlord to a Transfer shall not relieve Tenant or proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee from obtaining Landlord's consent to any further Transfer in accordance with the terms hereof, nor shall it release Tenant or any proposed transferee, assignee or sublessee of Tenant from full and primary liability under this Lease.
|
29.16.
|
Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant shall remain fully and primarily liable for the payment of all Rent and other sums due or to become due hereunder, and for the full performance of all other terms, conditions and covenants to be kept and performed by Tenant. The acceptance of Rent or any other sum due hereunder, or the acceptance of performance of any other term, covenant or condition thereof, from any person or entity other than Tenant shall not be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or a consent to any Transfer.
|
29.17.
|
If Tenant sublets the Premises or any portion thereof, Tenant hereby immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all rent from any such subletting, and appoints Landlord as assignee and attorney-in-fact for Tenant, and Landlord (or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord's application) may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease; provided that Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent so long as no Default exists or is continuing.
|
30.
|
Subordination and Attornment.
|
30.1.
|
Subject to the provisions set forth below, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, or lease in which Landlord is tenant now or hereafter in force against the Building and Common Areas ("Mortgage") and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination.
|
30.2.
|
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall execute and deliver upon demand such further instrument or instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages or deeds of trust or lease in which Landlord is tenant as may be required by Landlord. If any such mortgagee, beneficiary or landlord under a lease wherein Landlord is tenant (each, a "Mortgagee") so elects, however, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to any such lease, mortgage, or deed of trust upon or including the Premises regardless of date and Tenant shall execute a statement in writing to such effect at Landlord's request. If Tenant fails to execute any document required from Tenant under this Section within ten (10) days after written request therefor, Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord or its special attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such document or documents in the name of Tenant. Such power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
|
30.3.
|
Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the Execution Date, there is no current mortgagee with respect to the Property. Tenant's obligation to subordinate and attorn to future Mortgagees is conditioned upon Landlord delivering to Tenant a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement ("SNDA"). If at any time after the date of this Lease Landlord should desire to place a Mortgage on the Building, Land or Project, Landlord agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the holder of such Mortgage to enter into a SNDA in connection with this Lease whereby such Mortgagee agrees that, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Lease, the leasehold estate granted to Tenant and the rights of Tenant pursuant to this Lease to quiet and peaceful possession of the Premises shall not be terminated, modified, affected or disturbed by any action which the Mortgagee may take to foreclose or terminate any such Mortgage, and that any successor landlord shall recognize this Lease as being in full force and effect.
|
30.4.
|
In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the event of the exercise of the power of sale under any mortgage or deed of trust made by Landlord covering the Premises, Tenant shall at the election of the purchaser at such foreclosure or sale attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.
|
31.
|
Defaults and Remedies.
|
31.1.
|
Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due shall cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which shall be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include processing and accounting charges and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (a) an additional sum of three percent (3%) of the overdue Rent as a late charge plus (b) interest at an annual rate (the "Default Rate") equal to the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%), and (b) the highest rate permitted by Applicable Laws. Tenant shall receive one (1) notice of any late Rent in every twelve (12) month period prior to the foregoing applies. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord shall incur by reason of late payment by Tenant and shall be payable as Additional Rent to Landlord due within ten (10) business days after Landlord's demand. Landlord's acceptance of any Additional Rent (including a late charge or any other amount hereunder) shall not be deemed an extension of the date that Rent is due or prevent Landlord from pursuing any other rights or remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity.
|
31.2.
|
No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent payment herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the Rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease or in equity or at law. If a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of money to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, Tenant shall have the right to make payment "under protest," such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment, and there shall survive the right on the part of Tenant to institute suit for recovery of the payment paid under protest.
|
31.3.
|
If Tenant fails to pay any sum of money required to be paid by it hereunder, or shall fail to perform any other act on its part to be performed hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, but shall not be obligated to, make such payment or perform such act; provided that such failure by Tenant continues for five (5) days after Landlord delivers notice to Tenant demanding performance by Tenant; or provided that such failure by Tenant unreasonably interfered with the use of the Building or the Project by any other tenant or with the efficient operation of the Building or the Project, or resulted or could have resulted in a violation of Applicable Laws or the cancellation of an insurance policy maintained by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to enter the Premises and act in accordance with its rights as provided elsewhere in this Lease. In addition to the late charge described in Section 31.1, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent all sums so paid or incurred by Landlord, together with interest at the Default Rate, computed from the date such sums were paid or incurred.
|
31.4.
|
The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute a "Default" hereunder by Tenant:
|
31.4.1.
|
Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises and fails to provide for the on-going maintenance and repair of the Premises in accordance with Tenant's obligations pursuant to this Lease;
|
31.4.2.
|
The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent, as and when due, or to satisfy its obligations under Article 19, where such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant;

|
The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any obligation or covenant contained herein (other than described in Subsections 31.4(a) and 31.4(b)) to be performed by Tenant, where such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) business days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant; provided that, if the nature of Tenant's default is such that it reasonably requires more than ten (10) business days to cure, Tenant shall not be deemed to be in Default if Tenant shall commence such cure within said ten (10) business day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion; and provided, further, that such cure is completed no later than one-hundred eighty (180) days from the date of Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord;

|
31.4.7.
|
Any involuntary petition is filed against Tenant under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code and is not dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days;
|
31.4.8.
|
Tenant fails to deliver an estoppel certificate in accordance with Article 20; or
|
31.4.9.
|
Tenant's interest in this Lease is attached, executed upon or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within one hundred twenty (120) days of the action.
|
31.5.
|
In the event of a Default by Tenant, and at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy that Landlord may have, Landlord shall be entitled to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by written notice to Tenant or by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall have the immediate right to re-enter and remove all persons and property, and such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, all without service of notice or resort to legal process and without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage that may be occasioned thereby. In the event that Landlord shall elect to so terminate this Lease, then Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's default, including:
|
31.5.1.
|
The worth at the time of award of any unpaid Rent that had accrued at the time of such termination; plus
|
31.5.2.
|
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent that would have accrued during the period commencing with termination of the Lease and ending at the time of award exceeds that portion of the loss of Landlord's rental income from the Premises that Tenant proves to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction could have been reasonably avoided; plus
|
31.5.3.
|
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds that portion of the loss of Landlord's rental income from the Premises that Tenant proves to Landlord's reasonable satisfaction could have been reasonably avoided; plus
|
31.5.4.
|
Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or that in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including the cost of restoring the Premises to the condition required under the terms of this Lease; plus
|
31.5.5.
|
At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Applicable Laws.
|
31.6.
|
In addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity and under this Lease, Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant's Default and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises, but shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for its failure to relet the Premises notwithstanding the exercise of such reasonable efforts. For purposes of this Section, the following acts by Landlord will not constitute the termination of Tenant's right to possession of the Premises:
|
31.6.1.

|
The appointment of a receiver upon the initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease or in the Premises.

|
31.8.
|
In the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease and relet the Premises, Landlord may execute any new lease in its own name. Tenant hereunder shall have no right or authority whatsoever to collect any Rent from such tenant. The proceeds of any such reletting shall be applied as follows:
|
31.8.1.
|
First, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, including storage charges or brokerage commissions owing from Tenant to Landlord as the result of such reletting;
|
31.8.2.
|
Second, to the payment of the costs and expenses of reletting the Premises, including (i) alterations and repairs that Landlord deems reasonably necessary and advisable and (ii) reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements incurred by Landlord in connection with the retaking of the Premises and such reletting;
|
31.8.3.
|
Third, to the payment of Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and
|
31.8.4.
|
Fourth, to the payment of future Rent and other damages payable by Tenant under this Lease.
|
31.9.
|
All of Landlord's rights, options and remedies hereunder shall be construed and held to be nonexclusive and cumulative. Landlord shall have the right to pursue any one or all of such remedies, or any other remedy or relief that may be provided by Applicable Laws, whether or not stated in this Lease. No waiver of any default of Tenant hereunder shall be implied from any acceptance by Landlord of any Rent or other payments due hereunder or any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or is repeated, and no express waiver shall affect defaults other than as specified in said waiver.
|
31.10.
|
Landlord's termination of (a) this Lease or (b) Tenant's right to possession of the Premises shall not relieve Tenant of any liability to Landlord that has previously accrued or that shall arise based upon events that occurred prior to the later to occur of (i) the date of Lease termination or (ii) the date Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises.
|
31.11.
|
To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, Tenant waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future Applicable Laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or if Landlord obtains possession of the Premises due to Tenant's default hereunder or otherwise.
|
31.12.
|
Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event shall such failure continue for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant specifying the nature of Landlord's failure; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold or abate rent or to set off any Claims against Rent as a result of any default or breach by Landlord of any of its covenants, obligations, representations, warranties or promises hereunder, except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in this Lease.
|
31.13.
|
In the event of any default by Landlord, Tenant shall give notice by registered or certified mail to any (a) beneficiary of a deed of trust or (b) mortgagee under a mortgage covering the Premises, the Building or the Project and to any landlord of any lease of land upon or within which the Premises, the Building or the Project is located, and shall offer such beneficiary, mortgagee or landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Building or the Project by power of sale or a judicial action if such should prove necessary to effect a cure; provided that Landlord shall furnish to Tenant in writing, upon written request by Tenant, the names and addresses of all such persons who are to receive such notices.
|
31.14.
|
So long as Tenant leases the entire Building, Tenant shall have the following remedies set forth in this Section 31.14. If Landlord fails to meet a material obligation of Landlord under this Lease, and (a) such failure relates to the repair of the Building or causes Tenant to be unable to use the Premises or a substantial part thereof, and (b) Landlord fails to commence a cure within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the second written notice (such second notice to be given at least fifteen (15) days after receipt of Tenant's first notice of such failure), then Tenant shall have the right to fulfill such obligation on behalf of Landlord, the cost of which shall be paid by Landlord promptly following demand therefor; provided, however, that Landlord's cure period shall be extended where the failure is not reasonably curable within fifteen (15) days after the second written notice and Landlord uses good faith efforts and works diligently and continuously to fulfill its obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the previous sentence, in an emergency, Tenant shall have the right to fulfill Landlord's obligation on behalf of Landlord, after reasonable (in the circumstances) oral notice to Landlord, at Landlord's cost including interest thereon at the Default Rate if not reimbursed by Landlord within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor by Tenant. In the event of an emergency requiring Tenant to exercise its self‑help after oral notice, then Tenant shall provide Landlord with a follow‑up written notice within three (3) days after such emergency. As used in this Section 31.14, an "emergency" means an imminent threat of injury to person, damage to property or material interruption of Tenant's business operations. In the event Tenant exercises this right, then Tenant may set-off or abate the payment of Rent with any costs incurred by Tenant in connection with its exercise of this right, to the extent such costs do not constitute Operating Expenses.
|
32.
|
Bankruptcy. In the event a debtor, trustee or debtor in possession under the Bankruptcy Code, or another person with similar rights, duties and powers under any other Applicable Laws, proposes to cure any default under this Lease or to assume or assign this Lease and is obliged to provide adequate assurance to Landlord that (a) a default shall be cured, (b) Landlord shall be compensated for its damages arising from any breach of this Lease and (c) future performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall occur, then such adequate assurances shall include any or all of the following, as designated by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion:
|
32.1.
|
Those acts specified in the Bankruptcy Code or other Applicable Laws as included within the meaning of "adequate assurance," even if this Lease does not concern a shopping center or other facility described in such Applicable Laws;
|
32.2.
|
A prompt cash payment to compensate Landlord for any monetary defaults or actual damages arising directly from a breach of this Lease;
|
32.3.

Options to Extend Term. Tenant shall have two options (each, an "Option") to extend the Term, in each case by an additional five (5) year period (i.e., for a total, if both such options are exercised as provided herein, of ten (10) successive years beyond the original ten (10) year Term) as to the entire Premises and no less than the entire Premises (each five (5) year period being referred to herein as an "Extension Term") upon the following terms and conditions. All provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during each such Extension Term except that: (i) Tenant shall have no option to extend the Term of this Lease beyond the second Extension Term; (ii) the Base Rent for each Extension Term shall be determined in accordance with this Section 42); and (iii) as otherwise provided in this Section 42.
|
42.1.
|
On the first (1st) day of each Extension Term, Base Rent shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rent (as defined below) of the Premises, as determined in accordance with Sections 42.7 through 42.10, inclusive, below, provided in no event shall the Base Rent be less than the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to such date, and shall thereafter be adjusted on each annual anniversary date thereof in accordance with Article 8.
|
42.2.
|
No Option is assignable separate and apart from this Lease.
|
42.3.
|
Each Option is conditional upon Tenant giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise such Option at least twelve (12) months prior to the end of the expiration of the then-current Term. Time shall be of the essence as to Tenant's exercise of an Option. Tenant assumes full responsibility for maintaining a record of the deadlines to exercise an Option. Tenant acknowledges that it would be inequitable to require Landlord to accept any exercise of an Option after the date provided for in this Section.
|
42.4.
|
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article to the contrary, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise an Option or to commence an Extension Term unless Tenant is not then in Default.
|
42.5.
|
The period of time within which Tenant may exercise an Option shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant's inability to exercise such Option because of the provisions of Section 42.4.
|
42.6.
|
Landlord may reject either or both of Tenant's Options hereunder if, within the twenty four (24) months immediately preceding the date that a notice of Option is due, Tenant has Defaulted under this Lease three (3) or more times, whether or not Tenant has cured such Defaults.
|
42.7.
|
