If in the case of a CM Build Election the Premises are not Delivered by the Completion Deadline (as such Deadline may be extended pursuant to this Lease for reasons of Force Majeure or Tenant Delay), or if in the case of a Non-CM Build Election the Shell and Core Improvements are not Substantially Complete by the Completion Deadline (as such Deadline may be extended pursuant to this Lease for reasons of Force Majeure or Tenant Delay), then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, Tenant may terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises upon written notice to Landlord given within ten (10) business days after the Completion Deadline (the “Termination Notice”); provided, however, if Landlord believes in good faith that Landlord will Deliver the Premises or Substantially Complete the Shell and Core Improvements, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Termination Notice, then Landlord may notify Tenant thereof in writing (the “Completion Notice”) within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Termination Notice, that the Premises will be Delivered or the Shell and Core Improvements will be Substantially Completed, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days, and Landlord shall have until the date that is thirty (30) days after timely delivery of the Termination Notice by Tenant (the “Extended Deadline”) to Deliver the Premises, or Substantially Complete the Shell and Core Improvements as the case may be.  To be effective, the Completion Notice shall include a certification from the Construction Manager (defined in the Work Letter) for that the Construction Manager believes in good faith that the Premises will be Delivered within such thirty (30) day period or the Shell and Core Improvements will be Substantially Completed within such thirty (30) day period, as the case may be.  If the Premises have not been Delivered or the Shell and Core Improvements Substantially Completed, as the case may be, by the Extended Deadline (as such Deadline may be extended pursuant to this Lease for reasons of Force Majeure or Tenant Delay), then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, Tenant may terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises upon delivery to Landlord of a further Termination Notice within ten (10) business days after the Extended Deadline.  If Tenant does not timely terminate this Lease as hereinabove provided, Tenant shall have no further right to terminate this Lease under this Section 2, no further Rent Abatement shall apply to the Lease (Tenant in all events retaining the right to any Rent Abatement that accrued prior to the Completion Deadline, and nothing herein shall reduce the Base Rent credit for the period between the Rent Commencement Date and Post Rent Credit Date as set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions), and Landlord shall Deliver the Premises, or Substantially Complete the Shell and Core Improvements, as the case may be, as soon as practicable thereafter.  If the Lease is terminated under this Section 2, neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease, and upon written request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute such documents or agreements in commercially reasonable form as may be reasonably necessary to evidence such termination.

As used herein, the terms “Landlord’s Work,” “Tenant Improvements”, “Tenants’ Work,” “Tenant Delays,” “Substantial Completion,” and “Substantially Completed” shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Work Letter.

(jj)any expenses otherwise includable within Operating Expenses to the extent actually reimbursed by persons other than tenants of the Project under leases for space in the Project. 

Prior to December 1 of each calendar year in the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a copy of its proposed budget for Operating Expenses for the Project for the upcoming calendar year.  Tenant acknowledges that delivery of such budget is for the convenience of Tenant at Tenant’s request, and such budget is not binding upon Landlord and subject to change at any time from time to time prior to and during the calendar year for which it is prepared.

Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (an “Annual Statement”) showing in reasonable detail:  (a) the total and Tenant’s Share of actual Operating Expenses, each for the previous calendar year, and (b) the total of Tenant’s payments in respect of Operating Expenses for such year.  If Tenant’s Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year exceeds Tenant’s payments of Operating Expenses for such year, the excess shall be due and payable by Tenant as Rent within 30 days after delivery of such Annual Statement to Tenant.  If Tenant’s payments of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such year exceed Tenant’s Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant within 30 days after delivery of such Annual Statement, except that after the expiration, or earlier termination of the Term or if Tenant is delinquent in its obligation to pay Rent, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant after deducting all other amounts due Landlord.

The Annual Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant unless Tenant, within 12 months after Tenant’s receipt thereof, shall contest any item therein by giving written notice to Landlord, specifying each item contested and the reason therefor.  If, during such 12 month period, Tenant reasonably and in good faith questions or contests the accuracy of Landlord’s statement of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, Landlord will provide Tenant with access to Landlord’s books and records relating to the operation of the Project and such information as Landlord reasonably determines to be responsive to Tenant’s questions relating to the operation of the Project (the “Expense Information”).  If after Tenant’s review of such Expense Information, Landlord and Tenant cannot agree upon the amount of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses, then Tenant shall have the right to have a nationally or regionally recognized independent public accounting firm selected by Tenant and working pursuant to a fee arrangement other than a contingent fee (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense), audit and/or review the Expense Information for the year in question (the “Independent Review”), provided that Tenant has given Landlord written notice at least 5 business days in advance of such audit or review, which notice shall identify the name of the independent public accounting firm describe the type of fee arrangements under which such firm is to conduct such audit or review.  The results of any such Independent Review shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant.  If the Independent Review shows that the payments actually made by Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses for the calendar year in question exceeded Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such calendar year, Landlord shall at Landlord’s option either (i) credit the excess

amount to the next succeeding installments of estimated Operating Expenses or (ii) pay the excess to Tenant within 30 days after delivery of such statement, except that after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or if Tenant is delinquent in its obligation to pay Rent, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant after deducting all other amounts due Landlord.  If the Independent Review shows that Tenant’s payments with respect to Operating Expenses for such calendar year were less than Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the calendar year, Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after delivery of such statement.  If the Independent Review shows that Tenant has overpaid with respect to Operating Expenses by more than 4% then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all costs incurred by Tenant for the Independent Review.  Operating Expenses for the calendar years in which Tenant’s obligation to share therein begins and ends shall be prorated.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if the Building is not at least 95% occupied on average during any year of the Term, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for such year shall be computed as though the Building had been 95% occupied on average during such year.

“Campus Expenses” shall mean the actual costs and expenses of operating the campus-wide community activities required under the special permit for the Campus issued by the Cambridge Planning Board on June 1, 2010 for the Alexandria Center at Kendall Square (“Special Permit”), or otherwise provided to the Campus, including, without limitation, the following: (i) compliance with the PTDM (defined in Section 10 below), including without limitation costs of causing the EZ Ride Shuttle Service of CRTMA (defined in Section 10) to service the Building (and/or the actual costs and expenses of a dedicated shuttle service for the Campus) or a separate shuttle bus service operated for the benefit of the Campus (“PTDM and Shuttle Expenses”); (ii) after its initial construction, the cost of the mixed mode transportation center to be located at 41 Linskey Way pursuant to the Special Permit, including without limitation, operating expenses, utilities, repairs and reserves for future repairs, maintenance, cleaning, operations, insurance and Taxes; and (iii) preparation and implementation of marketing and merchandising plans to generate street activation for the Campus.

“Eligible Capital Items” shall mean all capital repairs, replacements and improvements made or installed during the Term, which are: (x) for the purpose of reducing the amount of Operating Expenses, but only to the extent of the actual reduction in the amount of Operating Expenses; or (y) required by applicable Legal Requirements first enacted after the date of this Lease; or (z) with respect to all capital items not included pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y), repairs, replacements and improvements reasonably required for the proper operation of the Project and made or installed after the seventh anniversary of the Post Rent Credit Date, provided that Eligible Capital Items shall exclude repairs to or replacements of the foundation or structure of the Building made at any time during the Term, but shall include without limitation repairs to or replacement of exterior windows and roof made after the tenth (10) anniversary of the Post Rent Credit Date.  Eligible Capital Items shall be amortized over the useful life of the particular item in accordance with GAAP, adjusted to reflect 24/7/365 operation and further adjusted to be net of the period of any applicable written warranty issued to Landlord

for a particular capital item, in each case together with interest of 7.5% on the unamortized amount.

“Tenant’s Share” shall be the percentages set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, on a category by category basis, subject to adjustment as set forth herein.  Landlord may equitably increase Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Project that includes the Premises or that varies with occupancy or use.  Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the Project, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the Garage, Tenant Share of Campus Expenses, Tenant’s Share of 60 Binney Building Expenses, and Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the Premises, and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder are collectively referred to herein as “Rent.”

The rentable square footage of the Premises and the Building, and the measurements upon which Tenant’s Share have been calculated, have been determined in accordance with the Standard Method of Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings as adopted by the Building Owners and Managers Association International (ANSI/BOMA Z65.1-1996), as customarily modified for laboratory properties in the Cambridge, Massachusetts market, based upon the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents (as defined in the Work Letter), as set forth in the measurements set forth Exhibit A-1.  If, as of the date upon which Landlord’s Work in the Premises is Substantially Complete (the “Substantial Completion Date”), the measurement of the Building, as calculated from the as-constructed BIM, varies from by more than 1,250 rentable square feet from the plans attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Building measurements shall be adjusted based upon the as-constructed BIM set, and the square footage of the Premises, the Building, and related calculations shall be adjusted accordingly.  Tenant shall have the right to have its architect review the as-constructed BIM set to confirm such measurements within 30 days after the Substantial Completion Date and receipt of the as-constructed BIM set as the as-built plans in accordance with Section 2.7(b) of the Work Letter.

In addition, Tenant’s Share shall be subject to further adjustment for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Building occurring thereafter.

6.Security Deposit.

(a)Security Deposit.  Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, upon delivery of an executed copy of this Lease to Landlord, a security deposit (the "Security Deposit") for the performance of all of Tenant's obligations hereunder in the amount set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions as the Initial Security Deposit Amount.  Prior to the time that Tenant submits its first Requisition under Section 6.8 of the Work Letter, Tenant shall increase the Security Deposit to be equal to the Deferred Security Deposit Amount.  The Security Deposit shall be in the form of an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit"):  (i) in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, (ii) naming Landlord as beneficiary, (iii) expressly allowing Landlord to draw upon it at any time from time to time by delivering to the issuer notice that

Landlord is entitled to draw thereunder, (iv) issued by an FDIC-insured financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (v) redeemable by presentation of a sight draft in Massachusetts or California.  If Tenant does not provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit complying with all of the requirements hereof or evidence of the renewal of the then current Letter of Credit at least 10 days before the stated expiration date of any then current Letter of Credit, Landlord shall have the right to draw the full amount of the current Letter of Credit and hold the funds drawn in cash without obligation for interest thereon as the Security Deposit.  The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.  The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default.  Upon each occurrence of a Default (as defined in Section 20), Landlord may use all or any part of the Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease, and the cost of any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law.  Upon any such use of all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to the amount set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions.  Upon 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 periods prior to the filing of such proceedings.  Upon any such use of all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within 5 business days after demand from Landlord, restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.  If Tenant shall fully perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e., after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) within 60 days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. 

(b)Transfer by Landlord.  If Landlord transfers its interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall either (a) transfer any Security Deposit then held by Landlord to a person or entity assuming Landlord's obligations under this Section 6, or (b) return to Tenant any Security Deposit then held by Landlord and remaining after the deductions permitted herein.  Upon such transfer to such transferee or the return of the Security Deposit to Tenant, Landlord shall have no further obligation with respect to the Security Deposit, and Tenant's right to the return of the Security Deposit shall apply solely against Landlord's transferee.  The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default.  Landlord's obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee, and no interest shall accrue thereon.

(c)Security Deposit Reduction.  If, on each of the anniversaries of the Post Rent Credit Date listed below (each, a “Anniversary Date”), Tenant meets or exceeds the requirements that (i) the Market Capitalization of Tenant (as defined below) shall be at least Five Billion Dollars ($5,000,000,000) and Tenant's stock shall be listed on either the New York Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ stock market, and (ii) no Default by Tenant under this Lease shall have occurred or be continuing (collectively, the "Reduction Requirements" and each a

"Reduction Requirement"), then as provided below in this Section the Security Deposit shall be reduced by the amounts set forth in the table below.  “Market Capitalization” shall mean the product of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Tenant as of the most recent of the last December 31 or quarter-end date (the most recent of which shall be the “Market Cap Measurement Date”) as set forth in the Annual Report or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC by Tenant for the most recent of either the last year or quarter ending prior to the Anniversary Date, multiplied by the closing price of such shares on such Market Cap Measurement Date.

The “Reduced Security Deposit” shall mean the amount of the Security Deposit required to be held by Landlord under this Lease as of the Reduction Date, less the Reduction Amount.  If Tenant provides Landlord with written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant has met all of the Reduction Requirements, then Landlord shall return the unapplied portion of the Security Deposit then held by Landlord, less the Reduced Security Deposit, to Tenant within 60 days of Tenant's delivery of such written evidence.  If Landlord returns to Tenant any portion of the Security Deposit in accordance with this Section, then from and after the date such monies are returned to Tenant, the "Security Deposit" shall be deemed to be the Reduced Security Deposit for all purposes of this Lease.

7.Use.  The Premises shall be used solely for the Permitted Use set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions, and in compliance with all laws, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, and to the use and occupancy thereof, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101, et seq. (together with the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, “ADA”) (collectively, “Legal Requirements” and each, a “Legal Requirement”).  Tenant shall, upon 5 days’ written notice from Landlord (or sooner if required by order of a Governmental Authority), (a) discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any Governmental Authority (as defined in Section 9) having jurisdiction to be a violation of a Legal Requirement, or (b) challenge the notice and indemnify Landlord from any liability, loss, cost, and expense, including penalties and fines, related to Tenant’s continued

violation, it being understood that Tenant may elect in its sole discretion to proceed as required under clause (a) or (b) of this sentence.  Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant’s or Landlord’s insurance, increase the insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any sprinkler or other credits, provided that such Landlord’s insurance is consistent with the insurance policies carried by other owners of comparable research and development buildings with similar laboratory uses and shall not prevent the Premises from being used for the Permitted Use.  Tenant shall not permit any part of the Premises to be used as a “place of public accommodation”, as defined in the ADA or any similar legal requirement.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for any additional premium charged for any such insurance policy by reason of Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Section or otherwise caused by Tenant’s use and/or occupancy of the Premises to the extent the insurance company specifically attributes to Tenant such additional premium.  Tenant will use the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit or permit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises, subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises or obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord or other tenants or occupants of the Project, including conducting or giving notice of any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises, or using or allowing the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose.  Tenant shall cause any equipment or machinery to be installed in the Premises so as to reasonably prevent sounds or vibrations from the Premises from extending into Common Areas, or other space in the Project.  Tenant shall not place any machinery or equipment weighing 500 pounds or more in or upon the Premises or transport or move such items through the Common Areas of the Project or in the Project elevators without the prior written consent of Landlord.  Except as may be provided under the Work Letter, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, use the Premises in any manner which will require ventilation, air exchange, heating, gas, steam, electricity or water beyond the existing capacity of the Project as proportionately allocated to the Premises based upon Tenant’s Share as usually furnished for the Permitted Use. 

Landlord shall, as an Operating Expense (to the extent such Legal Requirement is generally applicable to similar buildings in the area in which the Project is located) or at Tenant’s expense (to the extent such Legal Requirement is applicable solely by reason of Tenant’s, as compared to other tenants of the Project, particular use of the Premises) make any alterations or modifications to the Common Areas or the exterior of the Building that are required by Legal Requirements, including the ADA, to the extent such Legal Requirements are enacted subsequent to the date of this Lease.  Tenant, at its sole expense, shall make any alterations or modifications to the interior of the Premises that are required by Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, compliance of the Premises with the ADA.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible for any and all demands, claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, actions, causes of action, damages or judgments, and all reasonable expenses incurred in investigating or resisting the same (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements and costs of suit) (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or in connection with Legal Requirements, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, hold and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all Claims

arising out of or in connection with any failure of the Premises to comply with any Legal Requirement.

The Project is subject to certain title restrictions more particularly referenced in Exhibit B; all references herein to “Legal Requirements” shall be deemed to include the same.

Tenant shall have access to the Premises and Common Areas, and subject to the provisions of Section 10, the Garage, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year, subject to the terms of this Lease and to compliance with such security or monitoring systems and procedures as Landlord may reasonably impose.

Tenant agrees to provide, within 30 days of request by Landlord, such information and documentation as may be reasonably required for compliance with the City of Cambridge Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance, Section 8.67.010 et seq. of the Municipal Code of the City of Cambridge (as the same may be amended, the “Cambridge Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance”), and other such energy or sustainability requirements as may be adopted by the City of Cambridge or any other Governmental Authority from time to time, which information shall include without limitation information on annual usage at or by the Premises of electricity, natural gas, steam, hot or chilled water or other energy.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to report to the applicable Governmental Authority such energy usage for the Building and other Building information as required by the Cambridge Building Energy Use Disclosure Ordinance.

8.Holding Over.  If, with Landlord’s express written consent, Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the termination of the Term, (i) unless otherwise agreed in such written consent, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord at any time, (ii) all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the adjustment of Base Rent pursuant to Section 4 hereof) shall remain in full force and effect (excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option) during such holdover period, (iii) Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent in the amount payable upon the date of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or such other amount as Landlord may indicate, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, in such written consent, and (iv) all other payments shall continue under the terms of this Lease.  If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the express written consent of Landlord: (x) Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon the terms of this Lease except that Base Rent shall be equal to 150% of Base Rent in effect during the last 30 days of the Term; and (y) if such holdover exceeds 90 days, Tenant shall be responsible for all damages suffered by Landlord resulting from or occasioned by Tenant’s holding over, including consequential damages.  No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except with Landlord’s express written consent, and this Section 8 shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises.  Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease shall not result in a renewal or reinstatement of this Lease.

9.Taxes.  Landlord shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, all taxes, levies, fees, assessments and governmental charges of any kind, existing as of the Commencement Date or thereafter enacted (collectively referred to as "Taxes"), imposed by any federal, state, regional, municipal, local or other governmental authority or agency, including, without limitation, quasi-public agencies (collectively, "Governmental Authority") during the Term, including, without limitation, all Taxes:  (i) imposed on or measured by or based, in whole or in part, on rent payable to (or gross receipts received by) Landlord under this Lease and/or from the rental by Landlord of the Project or any portion thereof, or (ii) based on the square footage, assessed value or other measure or evaluation of any kind of the Premises or the Project, or (iii) assessed or imposed by or on the operation or maintenance of any portion of the Premises or the Project, including parking, or (iv) assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from Legal Requirements, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by, any Governmental Authority, or (v) imposed as a license or other fee, charge, tax or assessment on Landlord's business or occupation of leasing space in the Project.  Landlord may contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens securing Taxes.  Taxes shall not include any net income taxes imposed on Landlord except to the extent such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder, or any franchise, capital stock, gift, estate or inheritance taxes or any federal, state or local documentary taxes imposed against the Project or any portion thereof or interest therein.  If any such Tax is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority shall require.  Operating Expenses hereunder shall also include the cost of tax monitoring services provided to Landlord with respect to the Project.  Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, any and all Taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises, whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant.  If any Taxes on Tenant's personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property, or if the assessed valuation of the Project is increased by a value attributed by the taxing authority to improvements in or alterations to the Premises, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, higher than the base valuation on which Landlord from time-to-time allocates Taxes to all tenants in the Project, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Taxes.  The amount of any such payment by Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of written demand by Landlord. Landlord represents and warrants that the Project is currently separately assessed for tax purposes from any other buildings or properties in the Campus and that there are no payment-in-lieu-of-taxes or other tax reduction agreements in effect.

Premises, as defined in the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance (“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Parking Spaces”) (i.e., 198 spaces, based upon a “gross floor area” of 219,983 square feet in the Premises as defined in the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance) for use by Tenant, in those areas in the Garage designated for non-reserved parking, subject in each case to Landlord’s rules and regulations; provided that Landlord reserves the right to make available up to 25% of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Parking Spaces in the Garage for use by other parties outside of Business Hours (as hereinafter defined), provided further that Landlord may only make use of the Parking Spaces to the extent they are not in use by Tenant at the time Landlord allows a third party to use them.  For the purposes of this Lease, “Business Hours” shall mean 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday (except for state and national holidays).  Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant’s parking rights against any third parties, including without limitation other tenants of the Project, but upon request of Tenant, Landlord will direct the third-party operator of the Garage to do so. 

(b)Monthly Parking Charge.  Commencing on the Post Rent Credit Date, Tenant shall be obligated to pay, together with Base Rent and Additional Rent for Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses hereunder, in respect of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Parking Spaces in the Garage, the market rate monthly charge therefor designated by Landlord, adjusted reasonably and no more frequently than at the beginning of each calendar year, based upon the rates charged by comparable parking facilities in the vicinity of the Project.

(c)PTDM Matters.  Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole expense, for so long as the Parking and Traffic Demand Management Plan dated February 9, 2010 (revised April 15, 2010), as approved by the City of Cambridge on April 22, 2010, including the conditions set forth in such approval (as amended from time to time, the “PTDM”), remains applicable to the Project, comply with the PTDM as applicable to the Project, including without limitation, (i) offer to subsidize mass transit monthly passes for all of its employees who work in the Premises in accordance with the terms set forth in the PTDM; (ii) implement a Commuter Choice Program and the MBTA’s Corporate Pass Plan; (iii) discourage single-occupant vehicle (“SOV”) use by its employees; (iv) promote alternative modes of transportation and use of alternative work hours; (v) at Landlord’s request, meet with Landlord and/or its representatives no more frequently than quarterly to discuss transportation programs and initiatives; (vi) participate in annual surveys, monitoring transportation programs and initiatives at the Campus, and, without limitation, achieve a sixty (60%) percent response rate for patron surveys; (vii) cooperate with Landlord in connection with transportation programs and initiatives promulgated pursuant to the PTDM; (viii) provide alternative work programs (such as telecommuting, flex-time and compressed work weeks) to its employees in order to reduce traffic impacts in Cambridge during peak commuter hours; (ix) offer an emergency ride home (“ERH”) through the Charles River Transportation Management Association (“CRTMA”), or have its own ERH program, for all employees who commute by non-SOV mode at least 3 days a week and who are eligible to park in Tenant’s Share of Garage Spaces; (x) cooperate with the Cambridge Office of Workforce Development to expand employment opportunities for Cambridge residents; (xi) become a member of the CRTMA and cause the EZ Ride shuttle service to service the Building; (xii) in the

event that the single occupancy vehicle and traffic generation modal split limits of the PTDM are exceeded, charge each user of a parking space the market rate for parking in Kendall Square/East Cambridge therefor; (xiii) comply with the requirements of any other Parking and Traffic Demand Management Plan to which Tenant may be a party from time to time; (xiii) designate an employee transportation coordinator for the Building; and (xiv) otherwise cooperate with Landlord in encouraging employees to seek alternate modes of transportation. 

11.Utilities and Services; Generators; Service Interruptions.

(a)Utilities and Services.  Landlord shall provide, subject to the terms of this Section 11, water, sewer, steam, heat, ventilation, air conditioning, passenger and service elevator, electricity, gas, refuse and trash collection, and recycling (collectively, “Utilities”).  Tenant shall be responsible for its own janitorial services within the Premises, and the same shall not be included in Utilities.  Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to have at least one passenger elevator available for use at all times, except in the event of an emergency. Provided that Tenant is in occupancy of the entire non-retail space in the 60 Binney Building, Landlord agrees to designate the service elevator in the 60 Binney Building for use by only the tenants of the 60 Binney Building (in common with Landlord) with appropriate signage to be provided by Landlord at Tenant’s expense (the design and content of which signage shall be mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant) at the loading dock level entrance to the service elevator indicating that such service elevator serves only the tenants of the 60 Binney Building and not other tenants of the Building.  Landlord shall pay, as Operating Expenses or subject to Tenant’s reimbursement obligation, for all Utilities used in the Premises, all maintenance charges for Utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for Utilities imposed by any Governmental Authority or Utility provider, and any taxes, penalties, surcharges or similar charges thereon, which charges shall be charged at Landlord’s cost without markup.  Utility meters (including submeters) shall be installed in accordance with the requirements of the Work Letter.  Landlord shall read and maintain the meters as part of its services hereunder, the cost of which shall be included in Operating Expenses.  Tenant shall pay directly to the Utility provider, prior to delinquency, any separately metered Utilities and services which may be furnished to Tenant or the Premises during the Term.  Tenant shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, its share of all charges for jointly metered Utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord.  No interruption or failure of Utilities, from any cause whatsoever, shall result in eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant, termination of this Lease or, except as expressly set forth below, the abatement of Rent.  Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer with respect to Common Areas to normal restroom use.

(b)Life Safety Generator.  Landlord’s sole obligation for either providing a life-safety generator or providing life safety back-up power to Tenant shall be: (i) to provide  a life safety generator to the extent required under the Work Letter, and (ii) to contract with a third party to maintain the life safety generator as per the manufacturer’s standard maintenance guidelines.  Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with operational life safety generators or back-up power or to supervise, oversee or confirm that the third party maintaining

the life safety generator is maintaining the generator as per the manufacturer’s standard guidelines or otherwise; provided, however, Landlord shall meet with Tenant and provide Tenant on a quarterly basis with (a) copies of all maintenance reports/records applicable to the quarter and (b) the then most recent inspection report for the life safety generator.  Further, if Tenant provides written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s reasonable dissatisfaction with the service provided by the third party maintenance company, Landlord shall within 30 days of such notice, or as soon thereafter as practical, replace said company with another company reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.  During any period of replacement, repair or maintenance of the life safety generator when the life safety generator is not operational, including any delays thereto due to the inability to obtain parts or replacement equipment, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with an alternative life safety generator or generators or alternative sources of back-up power.  Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord does not guaranty that such life safety generator will be operational at all times or that emergency power will be available to the Premises when needed. 

(c)Service Interruptions.

If all or a material portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable such that Tenant cannot occupy such portion of the Premises or if the unavailability of access to the Premises renders the Premises untenantable, in either case as a proximate result of Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct, or as a proximate result of Landlord’s failure to perform any covenant or provision of this Lease on its part to be performed (except to the extent that such failure is caused in whole or in part by the action or inaction of Tenant) or by reason of the performance of any work in or about the Premises by or on behalf of Landlord, such that the foregoing conditions materially and adversely interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s operations in the Premises (“Material Services Failure”), then Tenant shall have the rights hereinafter set forth.  During such period of Material Services Failure, Landlord shall, if reasonably practical, cooperate with Tenant to arrange for the provision of any interrupted Utilities on an interim basis via temporary measures until final corrective measures can be accomplished. Tenant shall permit Landlord the necessary access to the Premises to remedy such Material Service Failure.  In the event a Material Services Failure continues and is not remedied by Landlord within five (5) consecutive days after receiving written notice thereof from Tenant (an “MSF Notice”) and provided that Tenant has given Landlord all access to the Premises necessary for the remedy of such Material Service Failure, then Tenant shall have the right to an equitable abatement of Base Rent and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses under this Lease in proportion to the extent of interference with Tenant’s operations until the Material Services Failure is remedied.

(ii)Exclusive Remedies.  This Section 11(c) sets forth Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedies on account of an interruption of services or Landlord’s default resulting in an interruption of services other than Tenant’s self-help rights under Section 31(b).  This Section 11(c) shall not apply to casualty or a Taking, which are governed by the terms of Section 18 and Section 19, respectively, nor shall it apply to any failure of a utility or other third

party service provider to provide any utility or service (unless caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct). 

(iii)Nonapplicability to Life Safety Generator.  Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, this Section 11(c) shall be inapplicable to any life safety generator servicing the Premises or other portions of the Project, which is solely governed by the provisions of Section 11(b) above.

12.Alterations and Tenant’s Property; Cabling and Conduits.  Any alterations, additions, or improvements made to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant, including additional locks or bolts of any kind or nature upon any doors or windows in the Premises, but excluding installation, removal or realignment of furniture systems (other than removal of furniture systems owned or paid for by Landlord) not involving any modifications to the structure or connections (other than by ordinary plugs or jacks) to Building Systems (as defined in Section 13) (“Alterations”) and excluding Notice-Only Alterations (as defined below) shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have the right to disapprove in its sole discretion any proposed Alterations which: (a) affect structure, Common Areas or the exterior of the Building or exterior of the Project; (b) materially and adversely affect Building Systems (as defined in Section 13); (c) affect other tenant space in the Building; (d) are not in conformance with the Special Permit or other Project entitlements; or (e) reduce or enlarge the square footage of the Building (“Material Alterations”).  Tenant may construct nonstructural Alterations in the Premises without Landlord’s prior approval if the individual cost of such work does not exceed $150,000, and if the aggregate cost of all such work in any 12 month period does not exceed $400,000 (a “Notice-Only Alteration”), provided Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such intended Notice-Only Alteration, and such notice shall be accompanied by plans, specifications, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the Notice-Only Alteration as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, which notice and accompanying materials shall be delivered to Landlord not less than 15 days in advance of any proposed construction. If Landlord approves any Alterations, Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant in connection with the commencement, performance and completion of such Alterations as Landlord may deem appropriate in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, including without limitation requiring payment by Tenant for the costs of any modifications as may be needed to Building systems in connection with or arising from Tenant’s Alterations.  Any request for approval shall be in writing, delivered not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction, and accompanied by plans, specifications, bid proposals, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the alterations as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, including the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials.  Landlord’s right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to ensure that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable Legal Requirements.  Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, all Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall implement at its sole cost

and expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Alterations.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, within 30 days after written demand, an amount equal to Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket third-party expenses for review of Tenant’s plans for Alterations. Before Tenant begins any Alteration, Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for, and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, any expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors, delays caused by such work, or inadequate cleanup. 

Tenant shall pay for the completion of all Alterations work free and clear of liens, and shall provide (and cause each contractor or subcontractor to provide) certificates of insurance for workers’ compensation and other coverage in amounts and from an insurance company satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord against liability for personal injury or property damage during construction.  Upon completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord:  (i) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and subcontractors who did the work and final lien waivers from all such contractors and subcontractors; and (ii) “as built” plans for any such Alteration, including all plans and information necessary to incorporate the as built plans into the Project’s Building Information Management system (except for decorative work or other cosmetic Alterations, as to which “as built” plans shall not be required).

Other than: (i) the items, if any, listed on Exhibit F hereto; (ii) any items agreed by Landlord in writing to be included on Exhibit F in the future; and (iii) any trade fixtures, machinery, equipment and other personal property not paid for out of the TI Fund (as defined in the Work Letter) which may be removed without material damage to the Premises, which damage shall be repaired (including capping or terminating utility hook-ups behind walls) by Tenant during the Term (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”), all property of any kind paid for with the TI Allowance (as defined in the Work Letter), all Alterations, real property fixtures, built-in machinery and equipment, built-in casework and cabinets and other similar additions and improvements built into the Premises so as to become an integral part of the Premises, such as fume hoods which penetrate the roof or plenum area, built-in cold rooms, built-in warm rooms, walk-in cold rooms, walk-in warm rooms, deionized water systems, glass washing equipment, autoclaves, chillers, built-in plumbing, electrical and mechanical equipment and systems, and any power generator and transfer switch (collectively, “Installations”) shall be and shall remain the property of Landlord during the Term and following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, shall not be removed by Tenant at any time during the Term and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof in accordance with Section 28 following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.  If Landlord so elects, Tenant shall remove such Installation upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and restore any damage caused by or occasioned as a result of such removal, including, when removing any of Tenant’s Property which was plumbed, wired or otherwise connected to any of the Building Systems, capping off all such connections behind the walls of the Premises and repairing any holes.  During any such restoration period, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as provided herein as if

said space were otherwise occupied by Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the removal of Alterations, including  Installations, shall not be required, except for the following, provided that Landlord has given Tenant notice of such requirement to remove at the time Landlord approves any such Alteration or Installation:  (v) any of the improvements listed on Exhibit F-1; (w) Alterations or Installations that included changes or penetrations to floor slabs and other structural elements of the Building, such as for connecting stairs within the Premises, if any; (x) Alterations not typically found in a Class A office or laboratory premises; (y) Alterations installed without Landlord’s consent which require Landlord’s consent under this Lease; and (z) Material Alterations, as to which Landlord may condition its approval of the same upon removal of such Material Alteration (Items listed in v, w, x, y and z above shall be referred to as “Removables”); and (B) Landlord agrees that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove (aa) the Tenant Improvements installed under the terms of the Work Letter at the end of the Term, unless listed on Exhibit F-1,  otherwise expressly required under the terms of this Lease or provided in the TI Construction Documents (as defined in the Work Letter); or (bb) its computer, security, and telecommunications wiring and cable and other related wiring, unless required by any national, Massachusetts, or local code, which codes also prohibit agreement between these parties, contrary to such removal requirements.

Landlord agrees that Tenant shall not be charged a usage fee for running of any cables or fiber optics in then existing common Building conduits for the purpose of connectivity to the Premises from Tenant’s carriers that need to bring circuits from outside the Building to the Premises utilizing then existing common Building conduits.  Upon request of Tenant, Landlord shall provide documentation of the main demarcation, telecommunications, fiber and power feeds to the Building and Premises.

13.Landlord’s Repairs.  Landlord, as an Operating Expense, but subject to the provisions of Section 5, shall maintain all of the structural, exterior, and other Common Areas of the Project, including HVAC, plumbing, fire sprinklers, elevators and all other building systems serving the Premises and other portions of the Project (“Building Systems”), in good operating condition and repair consistent with comparable first-class mixed-use office and lab buildings in Cambridge, Massachusetts, reasonable wear and tear and damages caused by Tenant, or by any of Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) excluded.  Losses and damages caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party shall be repaired by Landlord, to the extent not covered by insurance, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  Landlord reserves the right to stop Building Systems services when necessary (i) by reason of accident or emergency, or (ii) for planned repairs, alterations or improvements, which are, in the judgment of Landlord, desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed.  Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply Building Systems services during any such period of interruption; provided, however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, provide Tenant at least 48 hours advance notice of any planned stoppage of Building Systems services for routine maintenance, repairs, alterations or improvements and shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate such interruption with Tenant so as to minimize adverse effect on Tenant’s use of or

access to the Premises.  Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall have a reasonable opportunity to effect such repair.  Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after Tenant’s written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance.  Tenant waives its rights under any state or local law to terminate this Lease or to make such repairs at Landlord’s expense and agrees that the parties’ respective rights with respect to such matters shall be solely as set forth herein.  Repairs required as the result of fire, earthquake, flood, vandalism, war, or similar cause of damage or destruction shall be controlled by Section 18. 

14.Tenant’s Repairs.  Subject to Section 13 hereof, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition all portions of the Premises, including, without limitation, entries, doors, ceilings, interior windows, interior walls, and the interior side of demising walls, (other than portions of Building Systems or the structure of the Building within the Premises and required to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to Section 13).  Such repair and replacement may include capital expenditures and repairs whose benefit may extend beyond the Term.  Should Tenant fail to make any such repair or replacement or fail to maintain the Premises, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such failure.  If Tenant fails to commence cure of such failure within 10 business days of Landlord’s written notice, and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, Landlord may perform such work and shall be reimbursed by Tenant within 20 days after demand therefor; provided, however, that if such failure by Tenant creates or could create an emergency, Landlord may immediately commence cure of such failure and shall thereafter be entitled to recover the costs of such cure from Tenant.  Subject to Sections 17 and 18, Tenant shall bear the full uninsured cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Project that results from damage caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Party or the failure of Tenant to perform its obligations under this Lease.

15.Mechanic’s Liens.  Tenant shall discharge, by bond or otherwise, any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or against the Project for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant within 10 business days after written notice of the filing thereof, at Tenant’s sole cost and shall otherwise keep the Premises and the Project free from any liens arising out of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant.  Should Tenant fail to discharge any lien described herein, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such claim or post a bond or otherwise provide security to eliminate the lien as a claim against title to the Project and the cost thereof shall be immediately due from Tenant as Additional Rent.  If Tenant shall lease or finance the acquisition of 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 filed as a matter of public record by any lessor or creditor of Tenant will 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 Project be furnished on the statement without

qualifying language as to applicability of the lien only to removable personal property, located in an identified suite held by Tenant. 

16.Indemnification.

(a)Tenant.  Subject to Section 16(c) and Section 17(c), Tenant hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend, save and hold Landlord and Landlord’s officers, directors, partners, members, managers, agents and holders of Mortgages as to which Landlord has given Tenant notice (“Landlord Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Claims for injury or death to persons or damage to property (i) occurring within the Premises, (ii) occurring outside of the Premises, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Party, (iii) to the extent arising out of the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party, or (iv) occasioned by a breach or default by Tenant in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, except, in any event, to the extent caused by the willful misconduct, negligence or default of Landlord  or a Landlord Party.  Except as set forth in Section 16(b) below and subject to Section 16(c), Section 17(c) and Section 36, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant assumes all risk of damage to, personal property (including, without limitation, loss of records kept within the Premises).  Tenant further hereby irrevocably waives any and all Claims for injury to Tenant’s business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal property (including, without limitation, any loss of records).  Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act, omission or neglect of any other tenant in the Project or of any other third party.

(b)Landlord.  Subject to Section 16(c), Section 17(c), and Section 36, Landlord hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend, save and hold Tenant and Tenant’s officers, directors, partners, members, and agents (“Tenant Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Claims for injury or death to persons or damage to property to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party.

(c)M.G.L. Chapter 186, Section 15.  In the event that any provision of this Lease expressly conflicts with the requirements of M.G.L. Chapter 186, Section 15, the provisions of said statute shall govern to the extent of such conflict (Landlord hereby agreeing that, for the purposes of said Section 15, the term “Landlord” shall be deemed to include all “Landlord Parties”), provided, however, that the parties expressly covenant and agree that in no event shall either party hereunder be liable in any event for consequential, indirect or punitive damages (Tenant agreeing that, without limitation of the provisions of Section 36 below, the results of Tenant’s scientific research and scientific experiments, as well as any income arising therefrom shall be considered to be consequential damages).

17.Insurance.

(a)Landlord’s Insurance.  Landlord shall maintain all risk property and, if applicable, sprinkler damage insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Project or such

lesser coverage amount as Landlord may elect provided such coverage amount is not less than 90% of such full replacement cost.  Landlord shall further procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance with a single loss limit of not less than $2,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Project.  Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, flood, environmental hazard and earthquake, loss or failure of building equipment, errors and omissions, rental loss during the period of repair or rebuilding, workers’ compensation insurance and fidelity bonds for employees employed to perform services and insurance for any improvements installed by Tenant or which are in addition to the standard improvements customarily furnished by Landlord without regard to whether or not such are made a part of the Project.  All such insurance shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses.  The Project may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Project will be determined by Landlord based upon the insurer’s cost calculations).  Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance which Landlord reasonably deems necessary as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises. 

(b)Tenant’s Insurance.  Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain during the Term:  all risk property insurance with business interruption and extra expense coverage, covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense; workers’ compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law; employer’s liability insurance with such limits as required by law; commercial general liability insurance, with a minimum limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Premises.  The commercial general liability insurance policy shall name Landlord, its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents and Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P. (collectively, “Landlord Parties”), as additional insureds.  The commercial general liability insurance policy shall insure on an occurrence and not a claims-made basis; shall be issued by insurance companies which have a rating of not less than policyholder rating of A and financial category rating of at least Class X in “Best’s Insurance Guide”; shall not be cancelable for nonpayment of premium unless 30 days prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord from the insurer; shall contain coverage for hostile fire and contractual liability; and provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant’s policies).  Copies of such policies (if requested  by Landlord), or certificates of insurance showing the limits of coverage required hereunder and showing Landlord as an additional insured, along with reasonable evidence of the payment of premiums for the applicable period, shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon commencement of the Term and upon each renewal of said insurance.  Tenant’s policy may be a “blanket policy” with an aggregate per location endorsement which specifically provides that the amount of insurance shall not be prejudiced by other losses covered by the policy.  Tenant shall provide Landlord with renewal certificates prior to the expiration of such policies.

In each instance where insurance is to name Landlord as an additional insured, Tenant shall upon written request of Landlord also designate and furnish certificates so evidencing Landlord as additional insured to:  (i) any lender of Landlord holding a security interest in the Project or any portion thereof, (ii) the landlord under any lease wherein Landlord is tenant of the real property on which the Project is located, if the interest of Landlord is or shall become that of a tenant under a ground or other underlying lease rather than that of a fee owner, and/or (iii) any management company retained by Landlord to manage the Project.

(c)Waiver of Subrogation.  The property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, and their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors (“Related Parties”), in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against.  Neither party nor its respective Related Parties shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk insured against under property insurance required to be maintained hereunder, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its respective Related Parties, for such loss or damage.  The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver.  Landlord and its respective Related Parties shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for, business interruption and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever.  If the foregoing waivers shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the other’s insurer.

(d)Increases in Tenant’s Liability Insurance Coverages.  Landlord may require insurance policy limits to be raised to conform with requirements of Landlord’s lender and/or to bring coverage limits to levels then being generally required of new tenants within the Project; provided, however, (i) in no event shall such insurance requirements be increased more frequently than once in any 3-year period, and (ii) such increase is applied consistently with all non-retail tenants of the Project.

18.Restoration.  If, at any time during the Term, the Project or the Premises are damaged or destroyed by a fire or other insured casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after discovery of such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Project or the Premises, as applicable (the “Restoration Period”).  If the Restoration Period is estimated to exceed 18 months (the “Maximum Restoration Period”), Landlord may, in such notice, elect to terminate this Lease as of the date that is 75 days after the date of discovery of such damage or destruction; provided, however, that notwithstanding Landlord’s election to restore, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord delivered within 10 business days of receipt of a notice from Landlord estimating a Restoration Period for the Premises longer than the Maximum Restoration Period. Unless either Landlord or Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, subject to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds (with any deductible to be treated as a current Operating

Expense), promptly restore the Premises (excluding the improvements installed by Tenant or by Landlord and paid for by Tenant unless covered by the insurance Landlord maintains as an Operating Expense hereunder, in which case such improvements shall be included, to the extent of such insurance proceeds, in Landlord’s restoration), subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, from Force Majeure events or as needed to obtain any license, clearance or other authorization of any kind required to enter into and restore the Premises issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release, disposal, removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 30) in, on or about the Premises (collectively referred to herein as “Hazardous Materials Clearances”); provided, however, that if repair or restoration of the Premises is not substantially complete as of the end of the Maximum Restoration Period or, if longer, the Restoration Period, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to proceed with such repair and restoration or Tenant may by written notice to Landlord delivered within 10 business days of the expiration of the Maximum Restoration Period or, if longer, the Restoration Period, elect to terminate this Lease, in which event Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs or restoration and this Lease shall terminate as of the date that is 75 days after the later of:  (i) discovery of such damage or destruction, or (ii) the date all required Hazardous Materials Clearances are obtained, but Landlord shall retain any Rent paid and the right to any Rent payable by Tenant prior to such election by Landlord or Tenant. 

Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, from Force Majeure (as defined in Section 34) events or to obtain Hazardous Material Clearances, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly re-enter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last 1 year of the Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than 2 months  to repair such damage, or if insurance proceeds are not available for such restoration.  Rent shall be abated from the date of the casualty, provided that if Hazardous Materials Clearances are required as a condition for the repair or restoration Rent shall be abated from the date all required Hazardous Material Clearances are obtained, until the Premises are repaired and restored, in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises, unless Landlord provides Tenant with other space during the period of repair that is suitable for the temporary conduct of Tenant’s business.  Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided in this Section 18, Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss.

The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 18, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, or any other portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation which is now or may hereafter be in effect shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises or any other portion of the Project, the parties

hereto expressly agreeing that this Section 18 sets forth their entire understanding and agreement with respect to such matters.

19.Condemnation.  If the whole or any material part of the Premises or access thereto or the Project is taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking would either prevent or materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or materially interfere with or impair Landlord’s ownership or operation of the Project, then upon written notice by either party this Lease shall terminate and Rent shall be apportioned as of said date.  If part of the Premises or access thereto or the Project shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises and the Project as nearly as is commercially reasonable under the circumstances to their condition prior to such partial Taking and the rentable square footage of the Building, the rentable square footage of the Premises, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and the Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired Term shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances.  Upon any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant’s interest, if any, in such award.  Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord’s award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures, if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant.  Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to any provision of state law to terminate this Lease upon a partial Taking of the Premises or the Project.

any notice required under any provision of applicable law, and (iv) not be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord elects otherwise in such notice; provided that if the nature of Tenant’s default pursuant to Section 20(h) is such that it cannot be cured by the payment of money and reasonably requires more than 30 days to cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said 30 day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion; provided, however, that such cure shall be completed no later than 90 days from the date of Landlord’s notice.

21.Landlord’s Remedies.

(a)Payment By Landlord; Interest.  Upon a Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant hereunder, make such payment or perform such act.  All sums so paid or incurred by Landlord, together with interest thereon, from the date such sums were paid or incurred, at the annual rate equal to the prime rate of interest published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal plus 4%, or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default Rate”), whichever is less, shall be payable to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent.  Nothing herein shall be construed to create or impose a duty on Landlord to mitigate any damages resulting from Tenant’s Default hereunder.

(b)Late Payment Rent.  Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain.  Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord under any Mortgage covering the Premises.  Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within 5 days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to 5% of the overdue Rent as a late charge.  The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant.  In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the 5th day after the date due until paid. Landlord agrees to waive such late charge and such interest one time in any twelve month period, provided that the late payment is made within 5 business days of Landlord’s notice demanding payment.

(c)Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord, at its option, without further notice or demand to Tenant, shall have in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.  No cure in whole or in part of such Default by Tenant after Landlord has taken any action beyond giving Tenant notice of such Default to pursue any remedy provided for herein (including retaining counsel to file an action or otherwise pursue any remedies) shall in any way affect Landlord’s right to pursue such remedy or any other remedy provided Landlord herein or under law or in equity, unless Landlord, in its sole discretion, elects to waive such Default.

(i)This Lease and the Term and estate hereby granted are subject to the limitation that whenever a Default shall have happened and be continuing, Landlord shall have the right, at its election, then or thereafter while any such Default shall continue and notwithstanding the fact that Landlord may have some other remedy hereunder or at law or in equity, to give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s intention to terminate this Lease on a date specified in such notice, which date shall be not less than 5 days after the giving of such notice, and upon the date so specified, this Lease and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate with the same force and effect as if the date specified in such notice were the date hereinbefore fixed for the expiration of this Lease, and all right of Tenant hereunder shall expire and terminate, and Tenant shall be liable as hereinafter in this Section 21(c) provided.  If any such notice is given, Landlord shall have, on such date so specified, the right of re-entry and possession of the Premises and the right to remove all persons and property therefrom and to store such property in a warehouse or elsewhere at the risk and expense, and for the account, of Tenant.  Should Landlord elect to re-enter as herein provided or should Landlord take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord may from time to time re-let the Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms and at such rental or rentals and upon such terms and conditions as Landlord may deem advisable, with the right to make commercially reasonable alterations in and repairs to the Premises.  Landlord shall be deemed to have satisfied any obligation to mitigate its damages by hiring an experienced commercial real estate broker and directing such broker to actively market the Premises to prospective tenants. 

(ii)In the event of any termination of this Lease as in this Section 21 provided or as required or permitted by law or in equity, Tenant shall forthwith quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord may, without further notice, enter upon, re-enter, possess and repossess the same by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and again have, repossess and enjoy the same as if this Lease had not been made, and in any such event Tenant and no person claiming through or under Tenant by virtue of any law or an order of any court shall be entitled to possession or to remain in possession of the Premises.  Landlord, at its option, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, as and for liquidated damages, the sum of:

(A)all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder then due or accrued and unpaid: and

(B)the amount equal to the aggregate of all unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent which would have been payable if this Lease had not been terminated prior to the end of the Term then in effect, discounted to its then present value in accordance with accepted financial practice using a rate of 5% per annum, for loss of the bargain; and

(C)all other damages and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses), if any, which Landlord shall have sustained by reason of the breach of any provision of this Lease; less

(D)the net proceeds of any re-letting actually received by Landlord and the amount of damages which Tenant proves could have been avoided had Landlord taken reasonable steps to mitigate its damages. 

(iii)Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, or to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law, whether such amount shall be greater or less than the excess referred to above.

(iv)Nothing in this Section 21 shall be deemed to affect the right of either party to indemnifications pursuant to this Lease.

(v)If Landlord terminates this Lease upon the occurrence of a Default, Tenant will quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord or its agents, and Landlord may, without further notice, enter upon, re-enter and repossess the Premises by summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise.  The words “enter”, “re-enter”, and “re-entry” are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

(vi)If either party shall be in default in the observance or performance of any provision of this Lease, and an action shall be brought for the enforcement thereof in which it shall be determined that such party was in default, the party in default shall pay to the other party all fees, costs and other expenses which may become payable as a result thereof or in connection therewith, including attorneys’ fees and expenses.

(vii)If Tenant shall default in the keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained, Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant (a) immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice in the case of emergency or in case such default will result in a violation of any legal or insurance requirements, and (b) in any other case if such default continues after any applicable notice and cure period provided in Section 21.  All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any such performance by it for the account of Tenant and also all reasonable third party costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord in any action or proceeding (including any summary dispossess proceeding) brought by Landlord to enforce any obligation of Tenant under this Lease and/or right of Landlord in or to the Premises, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within 10 days after demand.

(viii)Independent of the exercise of any other remedy of Landlord hereunder or under applicable law, Landlord may conduct an environmental test of the Premises as generally described in Section 30(c), at Tenant’s expense.

(ix)In the event that Tenant is in breach or Default under this Lease, whether or not Landlord exercises its right to terminate or any other remedy, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within 10 business days of written demand for any third party costs and expenses that Landlord may incur in connection with any such breach or Default, as provided in this Section 21(c). Such costs shall include legal fees and costs incurred for the negotiation of a settlement, enforcement of rights or otherwise.  Tenant shall also indemnify Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from all costs, expenses, demands and liability, including without limitation, legal fees and costs Landlord shall incur if Landlord shall become or be made a party to any claim or action instituted by Tenant against any third party, or by any third party against Tenant, or by or against any person holding any interest under or using the Premises by license of or agreement with Tenant. 

(x)Except as otherwise provided in this Section 21, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other legal or equitable right or remedy given hereunder, or now or hereafter existing.  No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressly so made in writing.  Landlord shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to seek injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any provision of this Lease, or to seek a decree compelling observance or performance of any provision of this Lease, or to seek any other legal or equitable remedy.

22.Assignment and Subletting.

(a)General Prohibition.  Without Landlord’s prior written consent, subject to and on the conditions described in this Section 22, Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the Premises, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect.  If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, the shares or other ownership interests thereof which are not actively traded upon a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, a transfer or series of transfers whereby 50% or more of the issued and outstanding shares or other ownership interests of such corporation are, or voting control is, transferred (but excepting transfers upon deaths of individual owners) from a person or persons or entity or entities which were owners thereof at time of execution of this Lease to persons or entities who were not owners of shares or other ownership interests of the corporation, partnership or limited liability company at time of execution of this Lease, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease requiring the consent of Landlord as provided.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 22 to the contrary, any public offering of shares or other ownership interest in Tenant shall not be deemed an assignment. There shall be no assignment or subletting of parking rights except in connection with an assignment or sublease permitted under this Lease.

(b)Permitted Transfers. 

(i)Permitted Transfers Generally.  If Tenant desires to assign, sublease, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease, or sublet the Premises or a portion thereof, other than pursuant to a Permitted Assignment (as defined below) or a sublease to an Affiliate (as defined below), then at least 15 days, but not more than 45 days, before the date Tenant desires the assignment or sublease to be effective (the “Assignment Date”), Tenant shall give Landlord a notice (the “Assignment Notice”) containing such information about the proposed assignee or sublessee, including the proposed use of the Premises and any Hazardous Materials proposed to be used, stored handled, treated, generated in or released or disposed of from the Premises, the Assignment Date, any relationship between Tenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee, and all material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, including a copy of any proposed assignment or sublease in its final form, and such other information as Landlord may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to its consideration whether to grant its consent.  Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 15 business days after receipt of the Assignment Notice:  (i) grant such consent, (ii) refuse such consent, in its reasonable discretion (provided that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent based upon the financial condition of the assignee or sublessee and the engagement by such party in areas of controversial science, and provided further that Landlord shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove the proposed form of sublease prior to the effective date of any such subletting), or (iii) terminate this Lease, in the case of a proposed assignment, or (iv) in the case of a sublease having a term for the remainder of the Term, terminate the Lease with respect to the subleased Premises, for the remaining Term of this Lease (an “Assignment Termination”).  If Landlord delivers notice of its election to exercise an Assignment Termination, Tenant shall have the right to withdraw such Assignment Notice by written notice to Landlord of such election within 5 business days after Landlord’s notice electing to exercise the Assignment Termination.  If Tenant withdraws such Assignment Notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect.  If Tenant does not withdraw such Assignment Notice, this Lease, and the term and estate herein granted, shall terminate as of the Assignment Date with respect to the space described in such Assignment Notice, and in the event of an Assignment Termination with respect to only a portion of the Premises, such portion of the Premises shall be delivered to Landlord on the date specified in good order and condition in the manner provided in this Lease, including without limitation the provisions of Section 28, and thereafter, to the extent necessary in Landlord’s judgment, Landlord, at its own cost and expense, may have access to and may make modifications to the Premises and such portion so as to make such portion a self-contained rental unit with access to Common Areas, elevators and the like.  Base Rent, Rentable Area of Premises, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expense for the Project, the number of parking spaces licensed hereunder, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses for the Garage and Tenant’s Share of 60 Binney Operating Expenses shall be adjusted according to the extent of the Premises for which the Lease is so terminated.  No failure of Landlord to exercise any such option to terminate this Lease, or to deliver a timely notice in response to the Assignment Notice, shall be deemed to be Landlord’s consent to the proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer.  Tenant shall

reimburse Landlord for all of Landlord’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with its consideration of any Assignment Notice. 

(ii)Limitation on Subletting.  Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (i) above, during the period which expires on the earlier to occur of (x) 15 months after the Execution Date; or (y) the date by which Landlord and its affiliate have executed leases for all of the rentable space within the Project and the building at 100 Binney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts (“Lockout Period”), the right of Tenant to sublet the Premises on the terms set forth in the foregoing clause (i) shall be limited to the subleasing of up to 2 floors of the Premises for a term or terms of no more than 4 years (without rights of extension thereafter).  Prior to the expiration of the Lockout Period, Landlord may disapprove of any sublease proposed by Tenant, except as described in the foregoing sentence, in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.

(iii)Affiliate Transactions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s consent to a subletting of all or any portion of the Premises to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Tenant (each, an “Affiliate” and collectively “Affiliates”) shall not be required, provided that Landlord shall have the right to approve the form of any such sublease, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  In addition, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease, upon 10 days prior written notice to Landlord but without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, to an Affiliate or to a corporation or other entity which is a successor in interest to Tenant, by way of merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization, or by the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets or the ownership interests of Tenant provided that: (i) in the case of an assignment to a successor in interest, such merger, consolidation, reorganization or purchase, as the case may be, is for a good business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the Lease; and (ii) in all events the net worth (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) of the Affiliate assignee or successor in interest to Tenant is not less than the net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of Tenant as of the date of Tenant’s most current quarterly or annual financial statements; and (iii) such Affiliate assignee or successor-in-interest to Tenant shall agree in writing to assume all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease arising after the effective date of the assignment (an assignment of this Lease to an Affiliate assignee or a successor-in-interest in accordance with this paragraph is referred to herein as a “Permitted Assignment”).

(c)Additional Conditions.  As a condition to any such assignment or subletting, whether or not Landlord’s consent is required, Landlord may require:

(i)that any assignee or subtenant agree, in writing at the time of such assignment or subletting, that if Landlord gives such party notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, such party shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Tenant directly to Landlord, which payments will be received by Landlord without any liability except to credit such payment against those due under the Lease, and any such third party shall agree to attorn to

Landlord or its successors and assigns should this Lease be terminated for any reason; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord or its successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; and 

(ii)A list of Hazardous Materials, certified by the proposed assignee or sublessee to be true and correct, which the proposed assignee or sublessee intends to use, store, handle, treat, generate in or release or dispose of from the Premises, together with copies of all documents relating to such use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the proposed assignee or subtenant in the Premises or on the Project, prior to the proposed assignment or subletting, including, without limitation:  permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks.  Neither Tenant nor any such proposed assignee or subtenant is required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the such documents containing information of a proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities.

(d)No Release of Tenant, Sharing of Excess Rents.  Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain fully and primarily responsible and liable for the payment of Rent and for compliance with all of Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease.  If the Rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto in any form) exceeds the sum of the rental payable under this Lease, (excluding however, any Rent payable under this Section) and actual and reasonable brokerage fees, legal costs, free rent, and any design or construction fees directly related to and required pursuant to the terms of any such sublease as well as any unamortized cost of Tenant’s leasehold improvements paid for directly by Tenant provided that the excess value of any Tenant Improvements above such TI Allowance is fairly allocated to the subleased premises and amortized over the full Term of this Lease) (“Excess Rent”), then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder 50% of such Excess Rent within 30 days following receipt thereof by Tenant.  Landlord shall not require that a sublease contain a minimum level of sublease rent to be charged by Tenant to a subtenant.  If Tenant shall sublet the Premises or any part 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 Landlord as assignee, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of a Default, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent.  There shall be no minimum Rent required to be charged by Tenant under any sublease hereunder.

(e)No Waiver.  The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant or any assignees of this Lease or any sublessees of the Premises from obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting nor shall it release Tenant or any assignee or sublessee of Tenant from full and primary liability under the Lease.  The acceptance of Rent hereunder, or the acceptance of performance of any other term, covenant, or condition thereof, from any other person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or a consent to any subletting, assignment or other transfer of the Premises. 

23.Estoppel Certificate.  Tenant shall, within 10 business days of written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing in the form of Exhibit G or in any other form reasonably requested by a proposed lender or purchaser, (i) certifying only that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that there are not any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth such further information with respect to the status of this Lease or the Premises as may be requested thereon.  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.  Landlord shall, within 15 business days of written notice from Tenant, execute an estoppel certificate:  (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that, to Landlord's actual knowledge, there are not any uncured defaults on the part of Tenant hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed and (iii) setting forth such further information with respect to the status of this Lease or the Premises as may be reasonably requested thereon.  Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective assignee or lender of Tenant. 

24.Quiet Enjoyment.  So long as Tenant shall not be in Default under this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all times during the Term, have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord.

25.Prorations.  All prorations required or permitted to be made hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and 30 day months.

26.Rules and Regulations.  Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and any extension thereof, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations at any time or from time to time established by Landlord and provided to Tenant at least ten (10) days prior to their effectiveness, of general applicability to all tenants and covering use of the Premises and the Project.  The current rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit E.

(a)Subordination and Nondisturbance.  Subject to the terms provided herein, this Lease and Tenant’s interest and rights hereunder may be made subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage (“Mortgage”) hereafter created on or against the Project or the Premises, and all amendments, restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancing, assignments and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant; provided, however that so long as there is no Default hereunder, Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed, and Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall not be impaired by the Holder of any such Mortgage.  Tenant agrees, to attorn to any such Holder provided that the mortgagee executes, acknowledges  and delivers to Tenant a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) in the form of Exhibit H hereto or in another commercially reasonable form confirming attornment to such mortgagee as landlord and that such mortgagee recognizes Tenant’s rights under the Lease so long as Tenant is not in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods such that Landlord has a then-currently effective right to terminate this Lease (but without any assumption by such holder of the Landlord’s obligations under this Lease), except as set forth in this Section 27(a).  Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the mortgagee and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease, except that the mortgagee shall not be (i) liable in any way to the Tenant for any act or omission, neglect or default on the part of Landlord under this Lease; (ii) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to the credit of Tenant unless received by the holder; (iii) subject to Section 27(b) below, subject to any counterclaim or setoff that theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord; (iv) bound by any amendment or modification of this Lease subsequent to such mortgage or by any previous prepayment of regularly scheduled monthly installments of Base Rent or Additional Base Rent for more than one (1) month, which was not approved in writing by the mortgagee;  (v) liable to the Tenant beyond the mortgagee’s interest in the Property; or (vi) responsible for the performance of any of the obligations of Landlord under the provisions of Section 2, Section 18, Section 19 or the Work Letter, except that such mortgagee shall be required to recognize Tenant’s rights under Section 2(c) and Section 31(c) (provided that in no event shall Tenant be required to pay Base Rent or Operating Expenses unless and until the Post Rent Credit Date has occurred, to pay Utilities unless and until the Delivery Date has occurred in the event of a CM Build Election, or the date of Substantial Completion of the Shell and Core Improvements has occurred in the event of a Non-CM Build Election, or to pay other Additional Rent unless and until the due date for such other Additional Rent has occurred.  Tenant agrees that any present or future mortgagee may at its option unilaterally elect to subordinate, in whole or in part and by instrument in form and substance satisfactory to such mortgagee alone, the lien of its mortgagee (or the priority of its ground lease) to this Lease effective upon either notice from such holder to the Tenant in the

same fashion as notices from the Landlord to the Tenant are to be given hereunder or by the recording in the appropriate registry or recorder’s office of an instrument, in which such holder subordinates its rights under such mortgage or ground lease to this Lease.  Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that, as of the date of this Lease, there is no Mortgage encumbering the Project. 

(b)Other Matters.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, subject to the provisions of this Section 27:  (x) nothing in this Section 27 shall affect Tenant’s rights under Section 2(c), Section 18, Section 19, or Section 31 of this Lease, (y) any holder shall be required to recognize Tenant’s offset rights under Section 31(c) in the event that Landlord does not timely pay any portion of the TI Allowance, and (z) no holder shall be relieved of its obligations as party-Landlord arising under the Lease from or after the date (“Succession Date”) that such holder first acquires title or possession to the Premises.  Tenant agrees that this Lease shall survive the merger of estates of ground (or improvements) lessor and lessee.  Until a mortgagee (either superior or subordinate to this Lease) forecloses Landlord’s equity of redemption (or terminates or succeeds to a new lease in the case of a ground or improvements lease), no mortgagee shall be liable for failure to perform any of Landlord’s obligations (and such mortgagee shall thereafter be liable only after it succeeds to and holds Landlord’s interest and then only as limited herein).

In the event Tenant alleges that Landlord is in default under any of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease, Tenant agrees to give the holder of any mortgage, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default that is served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified, in writing, (whether by way of notice of an assignment of lease, request to execute an estoppel letter, or otherwise) of the address of any such holder.  Subject to the last sentence of this Section 27(b), Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided by law or this Lease or such additional time as may be provided in such notice to Landlord, such holder shall have 30 days after the last date on which Landlord could have cured such default within which such holder will be permitted to cure such default.  If such default is curable by such holder but cannot be cured within such 30 day period, then such holder shall have such additional time (which shall not exceed 150 days after the last day on or before which Landlord is permitted to cure such default) as may be necessary to cure such default, if within such 30 day period such holder has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to effect such cure (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary, to effect such cure), in which event Tenant shall have no right to terminate the Lease based upon such default while such remedies are being diligently pursued by such holder.

(c)Rent Assignment.  If, at any time and from time to time, Landlord assigns this Lease or the Rent payable hereunder to the holder of any mortgage on the Premises or the Project, or to any other party for the purpose of securing financing (the holder of any such mortgage and any other such financing party are referred to herein as the “Financing

Party”), whether such assignment is conditional in nature or otherwise, the following provisions shall apply: 

(i)Except as set forth in clause (ii) below, such assignment to the Financing Party shall not be deemed an assumption by the Financing Party of any obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such Financing Party shall, by written notice to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect;

(ii)The Financing Party shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder (subject to Section 27(a)) only upon foreclosure of its mortgage (or voluntary conveyance by deed in lieu thereof) or the taking of possession of the Premises from and after foreclosure; and

(iii)Subject to Section 27(a), the Financing Party shall be responsible for only such breaches under the Lease by Landlord that occur during the period of ownership by the Financing Party after such foreclosure (or voluntary conveyance by deed in lieu thereof) and taking of possession, as aforesaid.

Tenant hereby agrees to enter into such reasonable agreements or instruments as may, from time to time, be requested by Landlord in confirmation of the foregoing, subject to the requirements of this Section 27.

(d)Other Instruments.  The provisions of this Article shall be self-operative; nevertheless, Tenant agrees within 20 days of written request in accordance with Section 43(a) to execute, acknowledge and deliver any SNDA or priority agreements or other instruments conforming to the provisions of this Lease, with such commercially reasonable changes as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or any mortgagee which are consistent, in all material respects, with the provisions of this Section 27.  Tenant confirms that the SNDA form attached hereto as Exhibit H satisfies the requirements of this Section 27.  Without limitation, where Tenant in this Lease indemnifies or otherwise covenants for the benefit of mortgagees, such agreements are for the benefit of mortgagees as third party beneficiaries; and at the request of Landlord, Tenant from time to time will confirm such matters directly with such mortgagee.

28.Surrender.  Upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, subject to any Alterations or Installations permitted by Landlord to remain in the Premises, free of Hazardous Materials brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by any person other than a Landlord Party (collectively, “Tenant HazMat Operations”) and released of all Hazardous Materials Clearances, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear, Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations and casualty loss and condemnation covered by Sections 18 and 19 excepted.  At least 3 months prior to the surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a narrative description of the actions proposed (or required by any Governmental Authority) to be

taken by Tenant in order to surrender the Premises (including any Installations permitted by Landlord to remain in the Premises) at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, free from any residual impact from the Tenant HazMat Operations and otherwise released for unrestricted use and occupancy (the “Surrender Plan”).  Such Surrender Plan shall be accompanied by a current listing of (i) all Hazardous Materials licenses and permits held by or on behalf of any Tenant Party with respect to the Premises, and (ii) all Hazardous Materials used, stored, handled, treated, generated, released or disposed of from the Premises, and shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord’s environmental consultant.  In connection with the review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional non-proprietary information concerning Tenant HazMat Operations as Landlord shall reasonably request.  On or before such surrender, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence that the approved Surrender Plan shall have been satisfactorily completed and Landlord shall have the right, subject to reimbursement at Tenant’s expense as set forth below, to cause Landlord’s environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional procedures as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the effective date of such surrender or early termination of the Lease, free from any residual impact from Tenant HazMat Operations.  Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, up to $3,000.00 for the actual out-of-pocket expense incurred by Landlord for Landlord’s environmental consultant to review and approve the Surrender Plan and to visit the Premises and verify satisfactory completion of the same.  Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to deliver such Surrender Plan and any report by Landlord’s environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the Premises to Landlord’s lenders, investors, buyers, legal and other professional advisors and successor tenants of the Premises and their respective successors in interest, subject to the requirement that such parties keep the Surrender Plan and any such reports confidential (except for the transmission of the same to their respective successors in interest, subject to the same confidentiality requirement). 

If Tenant shall fail to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address any residual effect of Tenant HazMat Operations in, on or about the Premises, then following notice to Tenant of such failure and Tenant’s failure to commence a cure within 10 days of the delivery of such notice and to complete such cure within 30 days of the delivery of such notice, Landlord shall have the right to take such actions as Landlord may deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises and the Project are surrendered free from any residual impact from Tenant HazMat Operations, the cost of which actions shall be reimbursed by Tenant as Additional Rent, without regard to the limitation set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 28.

Tenant shall immediately return to Landlord all keys and/or access cards to parking, the Project, restrooms or all or any portion of the Premises furnished to or otherwise procured by Tenant upon surrender of the Premises.  If any such access card or key is lost, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost of replacing such lost access card or key.  Any Tenant’s Property,

Alterations and property not so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord’s retention and/or disposition of such property.  All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the termination of the Term, including the obligations of Tenant under Section 30 hereof, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, including, without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Rent and obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.

29.Waiver of Jury Trial.  TENANT AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO.

30.Environmental Requirements.

(a)Prohibition/Compliance/Indemnity.  Subject to Section 30(b), Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated  in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises or the Project in violation of applicable Environmental Requirements (as hereinafter defined) by Tenant or any Tenant Party.  If Tenant breaches the obligation stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Premises during the Term or during any holding over results in contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property or if contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property by Hazardous Materials brought into, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party otherwise occurs during the Term or any holding over, Tenant hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold Landlord and Landlord’s Indemnified Parties harmless from any and all Claims (including, without limitation, the loss of, or restriction on, use of the Premises or any portion of the Project), expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees, court costs and amounts paid in settlement of any claims or actions), fines, forfeitures or other civil, administrative or criminal penalties, injunctive or other relief (whether or not based upon personal injury, property damage, or contamination of, or adverse effects upon, the environment, water tables or natural resources), liabilities or losses (collectively, “Environmental Claims”) which arise during or after the Term as a result of such breach of the obligation stated in the preceding sentence or as a result of such contamination.  This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, reasonable costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, treatment, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state or local Governmental Authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or ground water above, on, or under the Premises to the extent set forth in this Section 30.  Without limiting the foregoing, if the

presence of any Hazardous Materials: (i) on the Premises which is caused or permitted by Tenant or any Tenant Party, or (ii) on the Project or any adjacent property which is caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party, in either case, resulting in any contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense and in accordance with applicable Environmental Requirements as are necessary to return the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property to the condition existing prior to the time of such contamination, provided that Landlord’s approval of such action shall first be obtained, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises or the Project. Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for, and the indemnification and hold harmless obligations set forth in this Section 30(a) shall not include matters arising from: (A) the existing environmental condition of the Premises as of the Delivery Date or any earlier date of entry into the Premises by Tenant (a “Pre-Existing Condition”); or (B) Hazardous Materials brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from the Premises during the Term by Landlord or any Landlord Party (a “Landlord Condition”), to the extent, in any such case, that such Environmental Claim does not arise or result, in whole or in part, from any exacerbation of, or contribution to, a Pre-Existing Condition by the actions of Tenant or any Tenant Party.  Landlord shall be responsible, at Landlord’s expense, for the Pre-Existing Condition of the Property, and any Landlord Condition.  In addition, if a release of Hazardous Materials by another tenant of the Project (“Other Tenant”) or by any of such tenant’s agents, employees, invitees or contractors (together with any Other Tenant, collectively, “Other Tenant Parties”; individually, an “Other Tenant Party”) is alleged to have entered the Premises or caused another violation of Environmental Requirements therein, Landlord shall cause such release to be evaluated by a qualified independent third party environmental professional to determine whether Tenant or an Other Tenant Party is the cause of the release or violation, and Landlord and Tenant shall have recourse only to the Other Tenant or Other Tenant Party and Tenant shall have no responsibility for such release or violation to the extent such party is the cause of the release or other violation, as determined by such evaluation. 

(b)Business.  Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 30 to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use.  Tenant may operate its business according to prudent industry practices so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored according to all then applicable Environmental Requirements.  As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior to the Post Rent Credit Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence, use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of such Hazardous Materials on or from the Premises (“Hazardous Materials List”).  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List upon written request by Landlord and shall also deliver an updated list before any new Hazardous Material is brought onto, kept,

used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (the “Haz Mat Documents”) relating to the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials prior to the Post Rent Credit Date, or if unavailable at that time, concurrent with the receipt from or submission to a Governmental Authority:  permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans, notice of violations of any Legal Requirements; all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities.  Tenant shall: (x) comply with all filing and reporting obligations required by Environmental Requirements, and (y) provide copies of any filings and reports to Landlord at the time that it delivers such filings and reports to the applicable Governmental Authorities. 

(c)Testing.  Landlord shall have the right to conduct annual tests of the Premises to determine whether any contamination of the Premises or the Project has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use.  In addition, at any time, and from time to time, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of the Premises and the Project to determine if contamination has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use of the Premises.  In connection with such testing, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such reasonable non-proprietary information concerning the use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party. Such tests and inspections shall be conducted at Landlord’s expense, unless such tests or inspections reveal that Tenant has not complied with any Environmental Requirement, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of such tests and inspections.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of all third party, non-confidential reports and tests of the Premises made by or on behalf of Landlord during the Term without representation or warranty and subject to a confidentiality agreement.  Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and satisfactorily remediate any environmental conditions identified by such testing in accordance with all Environmental Requirements.

(d)Underground Tanks.  If underground or other storage tanks storing Hazardous Materials located on the Premises or the Project are used by Tenant or are hereafter placed on the Premises or the Project by Tenant, Tenant shall install, use, monitor, operate, maintain, upgrade and manage such storage tanks, maintain appropriate records, obtain and maintain appropriate insurance, implement reporting procedures, properly close any underground storage tanks, and take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary or required under applicable state and federal Legal Requirements, as such now exists or may hereafter be adopted or amended in connection with the installation, use, maintenance, management, operation, upgrading and closure of such storage tanks.

(e)Tenant’s Obligations.  Tenant’s obligations under this Section 30 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.  During any period of time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease required by Tenant or Landlord to complete the removal from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, the release

and termination of any licenses or permits restricting the use of the Premises and the completion of the approved Surrender Plan), Tenant shall continue to pay the full Rent in accordance with this Lease for any portion of the Premises not relet by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion, which Rent shall be prorated daily. 

(f)Definitions.  As used herein, the term “Environmental Requirements” means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any Governmental Authority regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the Project, or the environment, including without limitation, the following:  the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder.  As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials” means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, or regulated by reason of its impact or potential impact on humans, animals and/or the environment under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas).  As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the “operator” of Tenant’s “facility” and the “owner” of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom.

(g)Landlord Obligations.

(i)Tenant acknowledges that it has received and reviewed certain environmental reports listed on Exhibit I (“Environmental Reports”) regarding the condition of the Project.  Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, the Project is free of Hazardous Materials except for materials typically found in so-called urban soils and matters disclosed in the Environmental Reports.  Landlord covenants that neither Landlord itself, or any Landlord Party, will introduce Hazardous Materials in the Premises so as to materially adversely affect Tenant, other than customary amounts used in connection with the operation, repair and maintenance of the Premises in compliance with applicable Environmental Requirements.  Subject to the provisions of Section 36 below, Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify and defend Tenant and Tenant’s partners, shareholders, members, managers, officers, agents, and employees (“Tenant Indemnitees”), and hold the Tenant Indemnitees harmless from and against any liability, claims, and costs, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from any breach by Landlord of its obligations, representations and warranties under this Section 30(g).  This hold harmless and indemnity shall survive the expiration of the Term.

(ii)In the event of any release of Hazardous Materials at, in, on, under, or about the Premises, or the Project (whether occurring prior to or after the Execution

Date of this Lease) that requires remediation or any other response action under applicable Environmental Requirements, or in the event that any Hazardous Materials are discovered at, in, on, under, or about the Premises or the Project that requires remediation or any other response action under applicable Environmental Requirements, in either case, that materially and adversely affects Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises and to the extent that such release is not caused by Tenant, or any Tenant Party, or anyone claiming by, through or under them on and after the Delivery Date or any earlier date of entry into the Premises by Tenant, or migrating from property owned by Tenant or any Tenant Party on and after the Execution Date of Lease, Landlord shall, without charge to Tenant, remediate or cause to be remediated such release and perform or cause to be performed any other response action as required by applicable Environmental Requirements to the extent necessary so that Tenant may use the Premises for the Permitted Uses. 

31.Tenant’s Remedies/Limitation of Liability.

(a)Notice of Landlord’s Default.  Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary).  Upon any default by Landlord, Tenant shall give notice by registered or certified mail to any Holder of a Mortgage covering the Premises and to any landlord of any lease of property in or on which the Premises are located and Tenant shall offer such Holder and/or landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Project by power of sale or a judicial action if such should prove necessary to effect a cure; provided Landlord shall have furnished to Tenant in writing the names and addresses of all such persons who are to receive such notices.  All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord’s obligations hereunder.

(b)Tenant’s Right to Cure.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time after the Post Rent Credit Date, any claimed Landlord default hereunder will immediately, materially and adversely affect Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in the Premises (a “Material Landlord Default”), Tenant shall, as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event within 2 business days of obtaining knowledge of such claimed Material Landlord Default, give Landlord written notice of such claim and telephonic notice to Tenant’s principal contact with Landlord.  Landlord shall then have 2 business days to commence cure of such claimed Material Landlord Default and shall diligently prosecute such cure to completion. If Landlord fails to commence cure of any claimed Material Landlord Default as provided above, Tenant may commence and prosecute such cure to completion, and shall be entitled to recover the costs of such cure (but not any consequential or other damages) from Landlord, to the extent of Landlord’s obligation to cure such claimed Material Landlord Default hereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this Lease.   Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such costs within 30 days after invoice therefor, and, if not so paid, Tenant shall have the right to recover the same,

together with interest on any unpaid amounts equal to the rate of interest on 10-year U.S. Treasury Notes at the time of Tenant’s demand, plus 4%, by an abatement of Base Rent, provided that such abatement shall cease at such time as and to the extent that payment is tendered to Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the amount of such abatement is more than 35% of the Base Rent due in any month, then the amount abated in any one month shall not exceed 35% of such Base Rent, and the excess amount of the abatement shall be carried forward until paid in full.  In no event shall the provisions of this Section 31(b) benefit any subtenant or be exercisable by subtenants against Landlord. 

(c)Right of Base Rent Offset for TI Allowance Default of Landlord.  If Landlord fails to timely pay any portion of the TI Allowance under the provisions of the Work Letter within 30 days after notice from Tenant of the date when due, then until such past due amount is paid or recouped hereunder, Tenant shall have the right to deduct any such past due amount from the next installment(s) of Base Rent due under this Lease until Tenant has received full credit for the amount due to Tenant.

(d)Limitation of Liability.  All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter.  The term “Landlord” in this Lease shall mean only the owner for the time being of the Premises.  Upon the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner’s ownership.

32.Inspection and Access.  Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises at any reasonable time to inspect the Premises and to make such repairs as may be required or permitted pursuant to this Lease and for any other business purpose.  Landlord and Landlord’s representatives may enter the Premises during business hours on not less than 48 hours advance written notice (except in the case of emergencies in which case no such notice shall be required and such entry may be at any time) for the purpose of effecting any such repairs, inspecting the Premises, showing the Premises to prospective purchasers and, during the last year of the Term, to prospective tenants or for any other business purpose provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use.  During the last eighteen (18) months of the Term Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Building exterior or the property adjacent thereto (but not the interior of the Premises) stating the Premises are available to let; and, at any time during the Term Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Project stating that the Project is available for sale.  Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate Common Areas and create restrictions on or about the Premises, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation or restriction materially, adversely affects Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use or access thereto nor materially increases Tenant’s obligations as provided in this Lease.  At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be reasonably necessary for such

33.Security.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that security devices and services, if any, while intended to deter crime may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts and that Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to the Premises.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for the personal safety of Tenant's officers, employees, agents, contractors, guests and invitees while any such person is in, on or about the Premises and/or the Project.

CONTRARY:  (A) LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (AND TENANT AND EACH SUCH OTHER PERSON ASSUME ALL RISK OF) LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY, WHETHER ACTUAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL TO:  TENANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION TRADE FIXTURES, EQUIPMENT, INVENTORY, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS, LABORATORY ANIMALS, PRODUCT, SPECIMENS, SAMPLES, AND/OR SCIENTIFIC, BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING AND OTHER RECORDS OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION KEPT AT THE PREMISES AND ANY AND ALL INCOME DERIVED OR DERIVABLE THEREFROM; (B) THERE SHALL BE NO PERSONAL RECOURSE TO LANDLORD FOR ANY ACT OR OCCURRENCE IN, ON OR ABOUT THE PREMISES OR ARISING IN ANY WAY UNDER THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY LIABILITY OF LANDLORD HEREUNDER SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED SOLELY TO LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROJECT OR ANY PROCEEDS FROM SALE OR CONDEMNATION THEREOF AND ANY INSURANCE PROCEEDS PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROJECT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH LOSS; AND (C) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY BE ASSERTED AGAINST ANY OF LANDLORD’S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS.  UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY OF LANDLORD’S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR INJURY TO TENANT’S BUSINESS OR FOR ANY LOSS OF INCOME OR PROFIT THEREFROM. 

IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY BE ASSERTED AGAINST ANY OF TENANT’S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS. 

37.Severability.  If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby.  It is also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added, as a part of this Lease, a clause or provision as similar in effect to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as shall be legal, valid and enforceable.

38.Signage; Exterior Signage Rights.

(a)Signage Generally.  Except as expressly provided in this Section 38, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion, except as set forth below:  (i) attach any awnings, exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, painting or other projection to any outside wall of the Project, (ii) use any curtains, blinds, shades or screens other than Landlord’s standard window coverings, (iii) coat or otherwise sunscreen the interior or exterior of any windows, (iv) place any bottles, parcels, or other articles on the window sills, (v) place any equipment,

furniture or other items of personal property on any exterior balcony, or (vi) paint, affix or exhibit on any part of the Premises or the Project any signs, notices, window or door lettering, placards, decorations, or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the exterior of the Premises.  Interior signs on doors and the directory tablet shall be inscribed, painted or affixed for Tenant by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, and shall be of a size, color and type acceptable to Landlord.  The directory tablet shall be provided exclusively for the display of the name and location of tenants. 

(b)Exterior Signage Rights of Tenant.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, in the event that Tenant leases and occupies more than 60% of the rentable square footage of the 60 Binney Building, Tenant shall have the exclusive right (except for first floor retail tenant signage) to apply for City of Cambridge for approval of, and, upon issuance of such approval, install a single mounted sign or plaque below the second floor on the 60 Binney Building near the 60 Binney Street lobby entrance, subject to existing laws and Landlord’s reasonable approval of size, design and location thereof (“Low Signage”).  Alternatively, Landlord may provide monument signage in a prominent location near the entrance of the 60 Binney Building.

For signage above the 2nd floor of the 60 Binney Building (“High Signage”), Landlord understands that the City interprets the current zoning ordinance to define the Building as one building, and, therefore, High Signage is only allowed in a single location on the Building.  It is Landlord’s intention to provide rights to High Signage for up to two anchor tenants of the Building (i.e., one location for the 60 Binney Building anchor tenant, and a second location for the 50 Binney Building anchor tenant).  Landlord and Tenant shall work cooperatively to obtain municipal approval for High Signage on both the 60 Binney Building and the 50 Binney Building, and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate in such effort.  In the event that Landlord is successful in obtaining municipal approval for High Signage on both the 60 Binney Building and the 50 Binney Building, Tenant shall have the right to place a single sign or plaque on the exterior of the 60 Binney Building at the penthouse level on the Second Street elevation.  In the event that the City does not allow High Signage on both the 60 Binney Building and the 50 Binney Building: (a) Tenant shall not have a right to High Signage; and (b) no other tenant shall have a right to High Signage. 

39.Right to Extend Term.  Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of the Lease upon the following terms and conditions:

(a)Extension Rights.  Tenant shall have 2 consecutive rights (each, an “Extension Right”) to extend the term of this Lease for 5 years each (each, an “Extension Term”) on the same terms and conditions as this Lease (other than Base Rent) by giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise each Extension Right at least 18 months prior to the expiration of the Base Term of the Lease or the expiration of any prior Extension Term.  Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate (as defined below) (“Landlord’s Rent Determination”) within 30 days after delivery of Tenant’s notice of its

election to exercise such Extension Right (provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to deliver such determination to Tenant earlier than 18 months prior to the expiration of the Term).  Upon the commencement of any Extension Term, Base Rent shall be payable at the 100% of the Market Rate (as defined below).  As used herein, “Market Rate” shall mean the then fair market rental rate for space comparable to the Premises in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, including such terms and conditions, including rent, free rent, tenant improvement allowances, brokerage commissions, annual escalations, construction time and all other lease concessions, which non-equity tenants are then receiving in connection with leases of comparable space in buildings comparable to the Building in terms of age, quality, size, condition, location in the East Cambridge market, services, amenities, quality of construction and appearance (provided that in no event shall Landlord be required to provide any free rent or  tenant improvement allowances in connection with any exercise by Tenant of an Extension Right).  In addition, Tenant shall continue to pay as Rent hereunder the 100% of the market rate for the parking rights provided hereunder. 

During the 30-day period following the delivery of the Landlord’s Rent Determination, Landlord and Tenant agree at either party’s request for a representative of each party to meet to discuss Landlord’s Rent Determination.  If, within 30 days after delivery of Landlord’s Rent Determination, Tenant has not agreed with Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate during such subsequent Extension Term after negotiating in good faith, Tenant may by written notice to Landlord not later than the end of such 30 day period after delivery of Landlord’s Rent Determination, elect arbitration as described in Section  39(b) below.  If, prior to the expiration of such 30 day period, Tenant does not either give written notice to Landlord of either Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s Rent Determination or Tenant’s election of such arbitration, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any right to extend, or further extend, the Term of the Lease and all of the remaining Extension Rights shall terminate.

(b)Arbitration.

(i)Within 10 days of Tenant’s notice to Landlord of its election to arbitrate Market Rate, each party shall deliver to the other a proposal containing the Market Rate that the submitting party believes to be correct (“Extension Proposal”).  If either party fails to timely submit an Extension Proposal (and such failure continues for 10 days after notice to the other party of such failure), then the other party’s submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent for the Extension Term.  If both parties submit Extension Proposals, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet within 7 business days after delivery of the last Extension Proposal and make a good faith attempt to mutually appoint a single Arbitrator (and defined below) to determine the Market Rate.  If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Arbitrator, then each shall, by written notice delivered to the other within 7 business days after the meeting, select an Arbitrator.  If either party fails to timely give notice of its selection for an Arbitrator, the other party’s submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent for the Extension Term.  The 2 Arbitrators so appointed shall, within 5 business days after their appointment, appoint a third Arbitrator.  If the 2 Arbitrators so selected cannot agree on the selection of the

third Arbitrator within the time above specified, then either party, on behalf of both parties, may request such appointment of such third Arbitrator by application to any state court of general jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located, upon 10 days prior written notice to the other party of such intent. 

(ii)The decision of the Arbitrator(s) shall be made within 30 days after the appointment of a single Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator, as applicable.  If there is a single Arbitrator, the decision of the single Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties.  If there are 3 Arbitrators, the third Arbitrator shall chose in full 1 of the decisions of the other 2 Arbitrators, and such choice shall be final and binding upon the parties.  Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of such party and the fees and expenses of the third Arbitrator shall be borne equally by both parties.  If the Market Rate are not determined by the first day of the Extension Term, then Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent in an amount equal to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the Extension Term and increased by the Base Rent Adjustment Percentage until such determination is made.  After the determination of the Market Rate, the parties shall make any necessary adjustments to such payments made by Tenant.  Landlord and Tenant shall then execute an amendment recognizing the Market Rate for the Extension Term.

(iii)An “Arbitrator” shall be any person appointed by or on behalf of either party or appointed pursuant to the provisions hereof and:  (i) shall be (A) a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than 15 years of experience in the appraisal of high tech or life sciences  and office space in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, or (B) a licensed commercial real estate broker with not less than 15 years’ experience representing landlords and/or tenants in the leasing of high tech or life sciences  and office space in East Cambridge, Massachusetts; (ii) devoting substantially all of their time to professional appraisal, brokerage work, or institutional real estate advisory work, as applicable, at the time of appointment; and (iii) be in all respects impartial and disinterested.

(c)Rights Personal.  Extension Rights are personal to Tenant and not assignable without Landlord’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenant’s interest in the Lease, except that the same may be assigned in connection with any Permitted Assignment of this Lease.

(d)Termination.  The Extension Right shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Extension Right, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement of the Extension Term, Tenant has Defaulted 3 or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of an Extension Right to the commencement date of an Extension Term, whether or not such Defaults are cured.

(e)Exceptions.  Notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, Tenant may not exercise any of the Extension Rights: (i) during any period of time that Tenant is

in Default under any provision of this Lease; or (ii) during any period of time that Tenant has sublet more than 30% of the rentable square feet in the Premises. 

(f)No Extensions.  The period of time within which any Extension Rights may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Extension Rights.

40.Intentionally Deleted.

41.Right of First Offer.

(a)Right of First Offer.  Subject to the Sanofi Rights, if at any time any Available Space (as defined below) in the 50 Binney Building becomes available for lease during the Term after its initial occupancy by a third party, Landlord shall give notice of such availability to Tenant promptly thereafter (“First Offer Right”).  Landlord shall set forth in reasonable detail a description of the Available Space and all of the applicable terms and conditions upon which the Available Space is offered to Tenant (“Offer Notice”).  For purposes of this Section 41(a), “Available Space” shall mean any non-retail space exclusive of Common Area in the 50 Binney Building which is not occupied by a tenant or which is occupied by an existing tenant whose lease is expiring within 6 months or less (or such longer period designated by Landlord in its sole discretion, but not to exceed 18 months) and such tenant does not wish to renew (whether or not such tenant has a right to renew) its occupancy of such space.  Tenant shall, within 10 business days following delivery of the Offer Notice, by written notice delivered to Landlord, (i) reject the Offer Notice, or (ii) offer to lease all of such space from Landlord on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice.  If Tenant fails to timely reject the Offer Notice or offer to lease such space from Landlord as set forth above, then Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected the Offer Notice.  If Tenant timely offers to lease the Available Space as set forth in clause (ii) above, the Available Space shall be leased by Tenant on the accepted terms and otherwise on all of the terms of this Lease. The rights of Tenant under this Section 41 are expressly subject and subordinate to the rights of the tenant under a lease of premises in the 50 Binney Building between Landlord and Sanofi US Services Inc. (“Sanofi Rights”).

If Tenant does not timely offer to lease such space from Landlord as provided above (or rejects such Offer Notice or is deemed to reject such Offer Notice), and Landlord later intends to lease any of the Available Space in a quantity that is less than 75% of the space set forth in such Offer Notice, or otherwise on business terms that are less than 90% of the Net Effective Annual Rent (as hereinafter defined) per rentable square foot than provided in such Offer Notice, the procedure set forth in this paragraph shall be repeated with respect to an Offer Notice and timing for acceptance.  For the purposes of this Section 41, the term “Net Effective Annual Rent” shall be calculated as follows:  (x) calculate the average Base Rent per rentable square foot (total Base Rent during the Term of the Lease for the offered Available Space, taking into account any rental abatement period, divided by number of years in such Term, divided by rentable square feet); (y) divide the tenant improvement allowance and any other

monetary concession to the prospective tenant such as assumption of remaining lease obligations (if any) by the number of years in the Term of the Lease for such Available Space; and (z) subtract the amount computed in (y) from the amount computed in (x).  Except as aforesaid, if Tenant does not timely offer to lease such Available Space (or rejects such Offer Notice or is deemed to reject such Offer Notice), then the Available Space may be leased by Landlord to a third party other than Tenant, free of any restrictions imposed by this Section 41.

(b)Amended Lease.  Within 14 days after acceptance of an offer pursuant to this Section 41, the parties shall enter into a lease amendment providing for the incorporation of the Available Space into the Premises on such terms.  If after the expiration of such 14 day period, no lease amendment for the Available Space has been executed, and Landlord tenders to Tenant an amendment to this Lease which sets forth the terms for the rental of the Available Space consistent with the Offer Notice, and Tenant fails to execute such Lease amendment within 10 business days following such tender, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to lease such Available Space at any time during the balance of the Term.

(c)Exceptions.  Notwithstanding the above, the First Offer Right shall not be in effect and may not be exercised by Tenant:

(A)during any period of time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of this Lease; or

(B)during any period of time that Tenant has sublet more than 30% of the rentable square feet in the Premises; or

(C)if Tenant has been in Default under any provision of this Lease 3 or more times, whether or not the Defaults are cured, during the 12 month period prior to the date on which Tenant seeks to exercise the First Offer Right; or

(D)if fewer than 18 months remain in the Term.

(d)Termination.  The First Offer Right shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the First Offer Right, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the lease of such Available Space, Tenant fails to timely cure any Default by Tenant under this Lease.

(e)Right Personal.  The First Offer Right is personal to Tenant and is not assignable without Landlord’s consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenant’s interest in the Lease, except that the First Offer Right may be exercised by any party that becomes a Tenant hereunder by virtue of any Permitted Assignment of this Lease.

(f)No Extensions.  The period of time within which the First Offer Right may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the First Offer Right. 

42.Roof Equipment.  As long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right at its sole cost and expense, without the payment of Additional Rent therefor, but subject to compliance with all Legal Requirements and the requirements of this Section 42, to install, maintain, and remove on the top of the roof of the 60 Binney Building Tenant’s Share of the available penthouse and rooftop space on the 60 Binney Building, including, in a location or location designated by Landlord, a natural gas fired emergency generator, and other mechanical equipment and telecommunications equipment serving the Premises (all of which having a diameter and height acceptable to Landlord) as Tenant may from time to time desire (collectively, the “Roof Equipment”) on the following terms and conditions:

(a)Requirements.  Tenant shall submit to Landlord (i) the plans and specifications for the installation of the Roof Equipment, (ii) copies of all required governmental and quasi-governmental permits, licenses, and authorizations that Tenant will and must obtain at its own expense, with the cooperation of Landlord, if necessary for the installation and operation of the Roof Equipment, and (iii) an insurance policy or certificate of insurance evidencing insurance coverage as required by this Lease and any other insurance as reasonably required by Landlord for the installation and operation of the Roof Equipment.  Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval for the installation and operation of the Roof Equipment; provided, however, that Landlord may reasonably withhold its approval if the installation or operation of the Roof Equipment: (A) may damage the structural integrity of the Building or the Project; (B) may void, terminate, or invalidate any applicable roof warranty; (C) with respect to requests for approval after the initial request for approval of Roof Equipment, may interfere with any service provided by Landlord or any tenant of the Project; (D) may reduce the leasable space in the Project; or (E) is not properly screened from the viewing public.

(b)No Damage to Roof.  If installation of the Roof Equipment requires Tenant to make any roof cuts or perform any other roofing work, such cuts shall only be made to the roof area of the Building designated by Landlord and only in the manner designated in writing by Landlord; and any such installation work (including any roof cuts or other roofing work) shall be performed by Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense by a roofing contractor authorized under the roof warranty and reasonably approved by Landlord.  If Tenant or its agents shall otherwise cause any damage to the roof during the installation, operation, and removal of the Roof Equipment, such damage shall be repaired promptly at Tenant’s expense and the roof shall be restored in the same condition it was in before the damage.  Tenant shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction in the amount of Rent payable under this Lease if for any reason Tenant is unable to use Roof Equipment.  In no event whatsoever shall the

installation, operation, maintenance, or removal of the Roof Equipment by Tenant or its agents void, terminate, or invalidate any applicable roof warranty. 

(c)Protection.  The installation, operation, and removal of the Roof Equipment shall be at Tenant’s sole risk.  Tenant shall indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees) of every kind and description that may arise out of or be connected in any way with Tenant’s installation, operation, or removal of the Roof Equipment, except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any Landlord Party.

(d)Removal.  At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the discontinuance of the use of the Roof Equipment by Tenant, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove the Roof Equipment from the Project.  Tenant shall leave the portion of the roof where the Roof Equipment was located in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted.  If Tenant does not so remove the Roof Equipment, Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to remove and dispose of the Roof Equipment and charge Tenant as Additional Rent for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such removal and disposal.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any Roof Equipment or related property disposed of or removed by Landlord.

(e)No Interference.  The Roof Equipment shall not interfere with the proper functioning of any telecommunications equipment or devices that have been installed or will be installed by Landlord or for any other tenant or future tenant of the Project.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to insure that the placement and operation of other telecommunications equipment on the rooftop of the Building does not interfere with the use and operation by Tenant of the Tenant’s Roof Equipment existing at the time of installation of such other equipment, and shall impose and enforce upon other tenants or occupants of the Building installing roof equipment on the rooftop of the Building requirements similar to those contained in this Lease; provided, however, that: (i) Tenant shall make reasonable accommodations to its Roof Equipment and its location, and otherwise cooperate with Landlord’s efforts to comply with this provision; and (ii) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant if any such interference actually occurs, so long as Landlord is using commercially reasonable efforts as aforesaid, which efforts shall, to the extent reasonable, include relocation of Tenant’s Roof Equipment in accordance with Section 42(f) below and/or relocation of such other equipment, and in any event, Landlord’s failure to comply with this provision shall not constitute a Landlord default under this Lease.

(f)Relocation.  Landlord shall have the right, at its expense and after 60 days prior notice to Tenant, to relocate the rooftop telecommunications equipment to another site on the roof of the 60  Binney Building as long as such site reasonably meets Tenant’s sight line and interference requirements and does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use and operation of the Roof Equipment.

(g)Access.  Landlord grants to Tenant the right of ingress and egress on a 24 hour 7 day per week basis to install, operate, and maintain the Roof Equipment.  Before receiving access to the roof of the Building, Tenant shall give Landlord at least 24 hours’ advance written or oral notice, except in emergency situations, in which case no notice shall be required to be given by Tenant if not practical and Tenant shall be permitted access to the roof upon contacting the individual(s) responsible for providing access during emergencies.  Following such access Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such access as soon as reasonably practicable.  Landlord shall supply Tenant with the name, telephone, and pager numbers of the contact individual(s) responsible for providing access during emergencies. 

(h)Appearance.  If permissible by Legal Requirements, the Roof Equipment shall be painted the same color as the Building so as to render the Roof Equipment virtually invisible from ground level.

(i)No Assignment.  The right of Tenant to use and operate the Roof Equipment shall be personal to Tenant and any assignees pursuant to a Permitted Assignment, and (i) no other person or entity shall have any right to use or operate the Roof Equipment, and (ii) Tenant shall not assign, convey, or otherwise transfer to any person or entity any right, title, or interest in all or any portion of the Roof Equipment, or the use and operation thereof.

43.Miscellaneous.

All notices or other communications between the parties shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given upon delivery or refusal to accept delivery by the addressee thereof if delivered in person, or upon actual receipt if delivered by reputable overnight guaranty courier, addressed and sent to the parties at their addresses set forth above.  Landlord and Tenant may from time to time by written notice to the other designate another address for receipt of future notices.

such information to such other parties as Landlord may deem appropriate subject to the same confidentiality). 

(d)Recordation.  Except as set forth herein, neither this Lease nor a memorandum of lease shall be filed by or on behalf of Tenant in any public record.  Either Landlord or Tenant may prepare and file, and upon request by the other party will execute, a memorandum of lease for recording with the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds.  If required by applicable securities laws, Tenant may file with the SEC a copy of this Lease approved by Landlord as to which terms not required to be reported have been redacted (it being agreed that Landlord shall not object to those items required to be disclosed by the SEC).

(e)Interpretation.  The normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Lease or any exhibits or amendments hereto.  Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires.  The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way affect the interpretation of this Lease.

(g)Limitations on Interest.  It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease.  If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is Landlord’s and Tenant’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.

(h)Choice of Law.  Construction and interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, excluding any principles of conflicts of laws.

(i)Time; Business Days.  Time is of the essence as to the performance of Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.  As used herein, “business day” shall

No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Base Rent or any Additional Rent will be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Base Rent and Additional Rent, nor will any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent be an accord and satisfaction.  Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.

(m)Hazardous Activities.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord, for itself and its employees, agents and contractors, reserves the right to refuse to perform any repairs or services in any portion of the Premises which, pursuant to Tenant’s routine safety guidelines, practices or custom or prudent industry practices, require any form of protective clothing or equipment other than safety glasses.  In any such case, Tenant shall contract with parties who are acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, for all such repairs and services, and Landlord shall, to the extent required, equitably adjust Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses in respect of such repairs or services to reflect that Landlord is not providing such repairs or services to Tenant.

2.1
	
Landlord shall construct the following improvements on the Project (collectively, the “Non-TI Project Improvements” or “Shell, Core and Site Improvements”; also referenced in the Lease as “Landlord’s Work”):  (i) shell and core improvements for the Building (the “Shell and Core Improvements”); and (ii) all landscaping, plaza areas, walkways, driveways, sidewalks, and other improvements for the Project (the “Site Improvements”), in accordance with the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents (as defined below).  Landlord shall construct the Non-TI Project Improvements at its sole cost and expense, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein.  The cost of the Tenant Improvements to be undertaken by Tenant shall be paid for in accordance with Section 6 below.





	
2.2
	
Non-TI Project Improvements.  Landlord’s construction of the Non-TI Project Improvements shall be effected by contractors selected and retained by Landlord, pursuant to the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents, as the same may be further modified as provided in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 below, to include any Landlord Modifications and Approved Tenant Modifications (as each such term is defined below) and/or as required by any applicable Governmental Authorities.





	
2.2.1
	
Project Architect.  Landlord has engaged Spagnolo Gisness & Associates as the architect for the Non-TI Project Improvements (the “Project Architect”).





	
2.2.2

Tenant shall, on or before seven (7) days after the date of the Lease, review and either approve or disapprove the same.  Tenant’s failure to respond within on or before seven (7) days after the date of the Lease shall be deemed approval by Tenant of the Shell, Core and Site Construction Set.  Tenant shall have no right to disapprove any portion of the Shell, Core and Site Construction Set which is materially consistent with the Interim BIM Set approved or deemed approved by

Tenant, except that Tenant may disapprove any portion of the Shell, Core and Site Construction Set which reflects a factual inaccuracy or which Tenant believes in good faith is materially inconsistent with the Interim BIM Set, such that the inconsistency would have an adverse effect on Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises as contemplated under the Lease.  If Tenant timely and properly disapproves any portion of the Shell, Core and Site Construction Set: (A) Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably and expeditiously cooperate to mutually correct such factual inaccuracy or inconsistency or eliminate or mitigate such adverse effect, as applicable; (B)  any delay in Substantial Completion of the Project Improvements resulting from such disapproval shall not constitute a Tenant Delay; and (C) the Delivery Date actually affected by any such delay shall be extended on a day-for-day basis for the period such Delivery Date is so affected.  The approved or deemed approved Shell, Core and Site Construction Set shall be hereinafter referenced as the “Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents,” and the list of plans included in such Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents shall be inserted and attached hereto as Schedule 2.2.3. 





	
2.3
	
Landlord Modifications to Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents.




It is anticipated that prior to and during construction of the Non-TI Project Improvements, Landlord may reasonably require changes to the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents as Landlord shall desire and/or as may be required to obtain occupancy permits and other governmental approvals and comply with Legal Requirements.  Landlord shall be entitled, from time to time, to make any such changes to the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents (collectively, the “Landlord Modifications”), without Tenant’s consent, so long as such Landlord Modifications, if implemented, would not: (i) effect material changes to the design of the Shell, Core and Site Improvements previously approved by Tenant (including the exterior appearance thereof); or (ii) adversely affect Tenant’s contemplated use or occupancy of the Building or the Project for the Permitted Uses; or (iii) delay the delivery of the Premises with the Non-TI Project Improvements complete beyond the Target Delivery Date; or (iv) increase the costs or delay the completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements (collectively, an “Adverse Condition”).  In the event any such Landlord Modifications, if implemented, would create an Adverse Condition, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such Landlord Modifications prior to implementation thereof (which notice shall include Landlord’s description of the Adverse Condition, and the adverse effects and impacts which Landlord believes comprise such Adverse Condition to the extent then known or reasonably anticipated by Landlord), and Tenant shall, within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, notify Landlord of Tenant’s approval or reasonable disapproval thereof with specified reasons for such disapproval.  Tenant’s failure to notify Landlord of its approval or reasonable disapproval within such five (5) business day period shall be deemed Tenant’s approval of such proposed Landlord Modifications.  For purposes of determining whether a Landlord Modification would create an Adverse Condition pursuant to the foregoing, an “Adverse Condition” shall also include any delays in Substantial Completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements beyond the Target Delivery Date specified in the Lease; provided, however, to the extent a Landlord Modification is necessary to comply with Legal Requirements enacted after the date of the Lease or is required by any applicable Governmental Authorities in connection with its enforcement of Legal Requirements enacted after the date of the Lease, such Landlord Modification shall not constitute an Adverse Condition.  In the event such Landlord Modifications, if implemented, would increase the costs of the Tenant Improvements, then Landlord and Tenant shall consult and coordinate on ways to minimize the effect of such

Landlord Modification on the cost of the Tenant Improvements.  If such Landlord Modification was desired by Landlord but not required to obtain occupancy permits and other governmental approvals or to comply with Legal Requirements (a “Landlord Desired Modification”) and after such consultation and coordination the effect of such Landlord Desired Modification will be to increase the costs of the Tenant Improvements, such increase in costs shall be borne by Landlord and not counted against the TI Allowance (as defined in Section 6.2).


	
2.4
	
Tenant-Requested Modifications to Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents.




Except as provided below in this Section 2.4, Tenant shall have no right to make or request, and Landlord shall, in its sole discretion, have no obligation to approve and may disapprove, any changes to the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents desired by Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may request from time to time that Landlord make reasonable changes to the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents pertaining to the functional operation and use of the Premises, including, without limitation, ventilation shafts, additional plumbing and waste lines, grease interceptors, humidification systems and structural support (such requested modifications shall be referred to collectively herein, as the “Tenant-Requested Modifications”).  Landlord agrees to incorporate any such permitted Tenant-Requested Modifications into the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents so long as the same: (A) do not affect the exterior appearance of the Building or the exterior of the site; (B) would not result in a materially adverse effect on the major Building systems or the operation and maintenance thereof; (C) comply with Legal Requirements; and (D) will not delay the Delivery Date or date of Substantial Completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements  from the dates set forth in the Lease, unless, with respect to a delay of no more than 30 days in either the Delivery Date or the date of Substantial Completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements, as applicable, as part of Landlord’s approval of any such Tenant-Requested Modifications, Tenant agrees in writing that a delay in the Delivery Date and/or date of Substantial Completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements due to the Tenant-Requested Modifications (as reasonably determined by the Construction Manager at the time of approval of the Tenant-Requested Modification) will constitute a Tenant Delay, provided that with respect to any delay in excess of 30 days in either the Delivery Date or the date of Substantial Completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements, Landlord’s decision to incorporate such Tenant-Requested Modifications shall be in Landlord’s sole discretion.

No deduction from the rentable square footage of the Premises for purposes of determination of Base Rent payable under the Lease, which would otherwise apply under the Lease shall be made as a result of any vertical penetrations required by or as a part of such Tenant-Requested Modification.


	
2.5
	
Landlord Notification




If Landlord disapproves Tenant’s request to incorporate any Tenant-Requested Modifications due to the failure of any of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 2.4 above, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such disapproval within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice requesting that Landlord implement such items, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval.  Landlord’s failure to notify Tenant of its approval or disapproval within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed Landlord’s disapproval of such proposed Tenant-Requested Modifications.  If Landlord approves such proposed

Tenant-Requested Modifications and if Landlord reasonably believes that the Tenant-Requested Modification will increase construction costs or result in a delay in design or construction of the Project Improvements, Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after receipt of Tenant’s request for a Tenant-Requested Modification in light of the scope of the request, provide to Tenant an estimate of costs for the design, permitting and construction of such Tenant-Requested Modification.  After delivery of the estimate, Tenant shall have the right to revoke its request for the Tenant-Requested Modification for five (5) business days after delivery of such estimate.

Approved Tenant Modifications.




Any Tenant-Requested Modification which Landlord is required to incorporate into the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents shall be referred to herein as an “Approved Tenant Modification”.  Landlord shall cause the design and construction of the Approved Tenant Modification to be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (to the extent such Approved Tenant Modification results in increased costs of construction), which costs shall include, without limitation: (A) all design, permitting and construction costs; and (B) all costs incurred by Landlord with respect to any delays in the design and construction of the Non-TI Project  Improvements to the extent caused by, relating to or arising out of such Approved Tenant Modifications (collectively, the “Tenant Modifications Delays”).  Such costs shall constitute a “TI Cost” for the purpose of Section 6 below.


	
2.7
	
Delivery Date; Substantial Completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements.




(a)For the purposes of this Work Letter, the term “Delivery Date” shall mean the date one (1) business day following the date Landlord has delivered to Tenant a certification from the Project Architect which confirms that substantial completion of the windows and curtain wall (not including gaskets, trim pieces, pressure plates, caulking, flashing and similar components associated therewith), and the roof has occurred such that the Building is suitable for the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements (provided that planned openings for such elements as the hoist, material access, egress and other construction functions will remain).  Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Tenant of the date that Landlord reasonably expects to be the Delivery Date no later than fourteen (14) days prior to such date.  Such notice may be sent via email to the Tenant Email Notice Parties.

(b)For purposes of this Work Letter, the term “Substantially Completed” or “Substantial Completion” with regard to the Shell and Core Improvements shall mean the later to occur of (i) the substantial completion of construction of the Shell and Core Improvements, as certified by the Project Architect, pursuant to and evidenced by a fully executed AIA G704 form signed by Landlord, Construction Manager and the Project Architect, with the exception of any Punch List Items (as defined below).  Landlord and Tenant shall conduct a final walk-through of the Shell and Core Improvements not earlier than ten (10) days prior to the expected date of Substantial Completion of the Shell and Core Improvements, as specified by written notice from Landlord to Tenant, which notice may be given by email to the Tenant Email Notice Parties, and shall each prepare a punch list for the Shell and Core Improvements.  Landlord and Tenant shall meet in good faith to create one unified list of Punch List Items.  Punch List Items shall be diligently completed by Landlord not later than thirty (30) days after compilation of the unified list, provided that Punch List Items which arise due to a delayed delivery of such Punch List

Item or material portion thereof shall be completed no later than ninety (90) days after Substantial Completion (except for items which cannot be completed until the Tenant Improvements are completed by Tenant, or for items affected by seasonal conditions, each of which shall be completed as soon as practicable); and (ii) the issuance by the City of Cambridge of a certificate of occupancy for the Shell and Core (unless such certificate is not available due to requirements of the Tenant Improvements which preclude its issuance, in which case a certificate of occupancy shall not be a condition precedent to Substantial Completion, but Landlord shall obtain such a certificate when such requirements have been satisfied).  The term “Punch List Items” shall mean minor items of completion, correction or repair with respect to the Non-TI Project Improvements, which, by their nature, will not interfere with, or impair in any material respect, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Project for the purposes contemplated under the Lease, and which will not delay Tenant’s commencement of business operations in the Premises. 

After Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall turn over to Tenant all copies of applicable operating and maintenance manuals, keys, codes, “as built” plans in “hard” and electronic formats, warranties, contracts and other materials necessary for Tenant’s operation and occupancy of the Premises.  In addition, Landlord shall cause the Construction Manager to provide training for, and invite Tenant to participate in, the commissioning of Building equipment and systems.

Following the Substantial Completion of the Shell and Core Improvements Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete any remaining Site Improvements that are not complete as of the date of Substantial Completion of the Shell and Core Improvements as soon as reasonably practicable, which for all seasonal components of the Site Improvements shall be prior to the end of the first full planting season that begins after the date of Substantial Completion of the Shell and Core Improvements.

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS




As used in this Work Letter, “Tenant Improvements” shall mean and refer to all improvements to the Premises desired by Tenant of a fixed and permanent nature.  Other than funding the TI Allowance in accordance with Section 6 below, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever with respect to the finishing of the Premises for Tenant's use and occupancy.  At the time of approval of the Approved TI Construction Documents (as defined below), Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree upon the schedule for performance and completion by Tenant of the Tenant Improvements (as the same may be modified from time to time upon the mutual, reasonable agreement of Landlord and Tenant subject to, and in accordance with, Section 6.6 below), the “TI Construction Schedule”).  All plans for the Tenant Improvements shall be prepared utilizing the same BIM platform as used by Landlord for the Non-TI Project Improvements, which BIM platform is more specifically described in Schedule 3 attached to this Work Letter.

not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  No later than September 30, 2015, Tenant shall notify Landlord if it selects the general contractor for the Tenant Improvements (Turner Construction Company) to be the Construction Manager for the Non-TI Project Improvements (a “CM Build Election”), or if selects a general contractor for the Tenant Improvements other than Turner Construction Company (which general contractor shall be subject to the approval of Landlord as aforesaid) (a “Non-CM Build Election.”)  In all events, all subcontractors shall be selected by Tenant, using subcontractors to be selected by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Landlord shall be named a third party beneficiary of any contract entered into by Tenant with the TI Architect, the construction contract between Tenant and the general contractor and the subcontracts thereunder, any contract with any consultant who performs services directly for Tenant, and of any warranty made by any contractor, subcontractor, or consultant.

 


	
3.2
	
Tenant's Design Drawings.




Tenant shall deliver to Landlord schematic drawings and outline specifications (the "TI Design Drawings") detailing Tenant's requirements for the Tenant Improvements on a schedule determined by Tenant.  Not more than fourteen (14) days thereafter, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant the written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the TI Design Drawings.  The parties agree that if Landlord only objects to a specific component or portion of the TI Design Drawings, then to the extent practical, Tenant and the TI Architect may (but shall not be required to) move forward with TI Construction Drawings (as defined below) as to the components and/or portion of the TI Design Drawings not objected to by Landlord.  Tenant shall cause the TI Design Drawings to be revised to address such written comments and shall resubmit said drawings to Landlord for approval.  Not more than ten (10) days thereafter, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any written objections, questions or comments of Landlord with regard to the responses by Tenant to Landlord’s prior written objections, questions or comments and any other revisions made by Tenant to the TI Design Drawings.  Such process shall continue until Landlord has approved the TI Design Drawings.


	
3.3
	
Working Drawings.




Following the approval of the TI Design Drawings by Landlord, Tenant shall cause the TI Architect to prepare and deliver to Landlord for review and comment construction plans, specifications and drawings for the Tenant Improvements ("TI Construction Drawings"), which TI Construction Drawings shall be prepared substantially in accordance with the TI Design Drawings.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the TI Construction Drawings reflect Tenant's requirements for the Tenant Improvements.  Landlord shall deliver its written comments on the TI Construction Drawings to Tenant not later than ten (10) business days after Landlord's receipt of the same; provided, however, that Landlord may not disapprove any matter that is consistent with the TI Design Drawings.  Tenant and the TI Architect shall consider all such comments in good faith and shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt, notify Landlord how Tenant proposes to respond to such comments.  Any disputes in connection with such comments shall be resolved in accordance with Section 3.4 hereof.  Provided that the design reflected in the TI Construction Drawings is consistent with the TI Design Drawings, Landlord shall approve the TI Construction Drawings submitted by Tenant.  The TI Construction Drawings, as  approved by Landlord, are herein referred to as the “Approved TI Construction

Approval and Completion.




If, after Landlord’s review of the second submission under Section 3.2, any dispute regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements is not settled within ten (10) business days after notice of such dispute is delivered by one party to the other, Tenant may make the final decision regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements, provided: (i) Tenant acts reasonably and such final decision is either consistent with or a compromise between Landlord's and Tenant's positions with respect to such dispute; (ii) that all costs and expenses resulting from any such decision by Tenant shall be payable as provided in Section 6 below; and (iii) Tenant's decision will not affect the Non-TI Project Improvements, including without limitation, the structural components of the Building or any Building systems (in which case Landlord shall make the final decision in its sole discretion, except with respect to any Building systems located wholly within and exclusively serving the Premises, for which Landlord’s decision shall be in its reasonable discretion).  Any changes to the Approved TI Construction Documents requested by Tenant shall be processed as provided in Section 3.8 hereof.


	
3.5
	
Landlord’s Review of Tenant Improvement Plans.




Any review of the TI Design Drawings or the TI Construction Drawings by Landlord, Landlord’s Authorized Representative, the Project Architect or anyone else acting on Landlord’s behalf, including without limitation construction advisors, design professionals, contractors and subcontractors (collectively, “Landlord’s Agents”), shall be for Landlord’s sole purpose and shall not imply Landlord’s review of the same (or obligate Landlord to review the same) for quality, design, compliance with Legal Requirements or other like matters.  Neither Landlord, Landlord’s Authorized Representatives nor any of Landlord’s Agents shall have any liability whatsoever in connection with, and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the TI Design Drawings, TI Construction Drawings or Approved TI Construction Documents (collectively, the “Tenant Plans”) as a result of any inspections or review thereof.


	
3.6
	
Compliance with LEED Standards.




All plans prepared by Tenant and the TI Architect for the Tenant Improvements shall comply with the LEED standards attached hereto as Schedule 3.6.  Landlord shall design and construct the Non-TI Project Improvements to be certifiable to a LEED-Core and Shell Silver level.

Construction Schedule, provided that if Tenant has made the CM Build Election, no such construction shall commence until the Delivery Date; and provided that if Tenant has made the Non-CM Build Election, no such construction shall commence until Landlord has Substantially Completed the Shell and Core Improvements.  The cost of obtaining the TI Permit shall be payable as provided in Section 6 below.  Prior to the commencement of the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of all contracts with Tenant’s contractors (including the TI Architect), and certificates of insurance from any contractor performing any part of the Tenant Improvement evidencing industry standard commercial general liability, automotive liability, “builder’s risk”, and workers' compensation insurance.  Tenant shall cause the general contractor to provide a certificate of insurance naming Landlord, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., and Landlord’s lender (if any) as additional insureds for the general contractor’s liability coverages required above.   In addition, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a copy of the professional liability and commercial general liability insurance policies of the TI Architect. 

(b)Selection of Materials, Etc.  Where more than one type of material or structure is indicated on the Approved TI Construction Documents, the decisions regarding selection of which type of material or structure among those shown will be within Tenant's reasonable discretion if the matter concerns the Tenant Improvements, and within Landlord's sole and absolute subjective discretion if the matter concerns the structural components of the Building or any Building system.

(c)Tenant Liability.  Tenant shall be responsible for correcting any deficiencies or defects in the Tenant Improvements.

Tenant shall diligently prosecute and substantially complete or cause to be substantially completed the Tenant Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the TI Permit and Tenant’s contracts, subject, in each case, to Minor Variations (as defined below) and normal "punch list" items of a non-material nature which do not interfere with the use of the Premises ("TI Substantial Completion" or "TI Substantially Complete") in accordance with the TI Construction Schedule.  Tenant shall obtain and deliver to Landlord a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the Tenant Improvements as a condition precedent to TI Substantial Completion; provided, however, that if a temporary certificate of occupancy is delivered to Landlord, Tenant will use diligent efforts to obtain and deliver to Landlord a permanent certificate of occupancy as soon as is reasonably practical but in any event within thirty (30) of issuance of the temporary certificate of occupancy.  Upon TI Substantial Completion, Tenant shall require the TI Architect and the general contractor to execute and deliver, for the benefit of Tenant and Landlord, a Certificate of Substantial Completion in the form of the American Institute of Architects ("AIA") document G704.  For purposes of this Work Letter, "Minor Variations" shall mean any modifications reasonably required:  (i) to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and/or to obtain or to comply with any required permit (including the TI Permit); (ii) to comport with good design, engineering, and construction practices which are not material; or (iii) to make reasonable adjustments for field deviations or conditions encountered during the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

3.8.1
	
Change Request.  Tenant may request Changes to the Approved TI Construction Documents by notifying Landlord in writing in substantially the same form as the AIA G701 Change Order form (a “Change Request”), which Change Request from Tenant shall detail the nature and extent of any requested Changes, including (a) the Change, (b) the estimated incremental cost of the Change and (c) any modification of the Approved TI Construction Documents necessitated by the Change.  Change Requests shall be signed by Tenant’s Authorized Representative.  No deduction from the rentable square footage of the Premises for purposes of determination of Base Rent payable under the Lease, which would otherwise apply under the Lease, shall be made as a result of any vertical penetrations required by or as a part of such Change.  In the event that Change Request(s) requested by Tenant will cause a delay to the Delivery Date or the date of  Substantial Completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements as reasonably determined at the time of approval of the Tenant-Requested Modification by Landlord, such Change Request, if approved pursuant to Section 3.8.2 below, shall specify the number of days of such delay and the same shall constitute a Tenant Delay.  Any costs related to a Change for which Tenant is responsible under this Work Letter shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with the submission of monthly invoices from Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Work Letter in proportion to completion of such work.





	
3.8.2

Landlord shall comply with the following requirements in connection with its construction of the Non-TI Project Improvements:


	
5.1
	
Condition of Construction




Landlord hereby agrees to complete the construction of the Non-TI Project Improvements in accordance with the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents, in a first-class and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements in effect as of the date issuance of the building permit therefor, free of material defects and otherwise in good condition and working order.  Upon request of Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with updates as to progress of construction of the Non-TI Project Improvements, and in addition Landlord and Tenant shall hold such joint team meetings as reasonably requested by either party prior to and during construction.  Landlord’s Construction Representative and Tenant’s Construction Representative shall meet weekly during the course of the construction of the Tenant Improvements.

Improvements (subject to Landlord’s commitments to cause the Building to comply with Legal Requirements to the extent set forth in Section 7 of the Lease, and to maintain the Building pursuant to Section 13 of the Lease); provided, however, Landlord agrees that, for warranty claims made by Tenant during the applicable warranty period Landlord will enforce its warranties against any contractor or subcontractor performing any portion of the Non-TI Project Improvements.  Nothing in this Section 5.2 shall be construed as limiting or restricting in any way Landlord’s right to seek reimbursement from: (x) professionals and contractors who are parties to the relevant contracts; and/or (y) insurance companies for costs incurred by Landlord to correct any Non-TI Project Defects.  Landlord shall obtain and maintain builder’s risk/course of construction insurance coverage during Landlord’s construction of the Non-TI Project Improvements in commercially reasonable amounts and with customary coverages commensurate with the size and scope of the construction project contemplated by this Work Letter issued by financially viable and licensed insurers, and shall provide a certificate evidencing the same to Tenant upon request therefor.

Tenant Review of Project Construction.  Throughout the construction of the Non-TI Project Improvements, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, with reasonable advance notice to Landlord, and, if specified by Landlord at Landlord’s option, accompanied by a representative of Landlord, to inspect the construction of the Non-TI Project Improvements; provided that no such inspections shall interfere with or otherwise delay Landlord’s construction of the Non-TI Project Improvements.  Any review of the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents by Tenant, Tenant’s Authorized Representative or anyone acting on Tenant’s behalf, including without limitation construction advisors or design professionals (collectively, “Tenant’s Agents”), and/or any inspections of the Non-TI Project Improvement construction by Tenant, Tenant’s Authorized Representative, or Tenant’s Agents, shall be for Tenant’s sole purpose and shall not imply Tenant’s review of the same (or obligate Tenant to review the same) for quality, design, compliance with Legal Requirements or other like matters.  Neither Tenant, Tenant’s Authorized Representatives nor any of Tenant’s Agents shall have any liability whatsoever in connection with, and shall not be responsible for any omissions or errors contained in the Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents as a result of any inspections or review thereof.

with the provisions of Section 17 of the Lease.  Tenant and its contractors shall maintain workers’ compensation insurance as required by law.  The insurance policies to be provided by Tenant hereunder shall name Landlord and Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. as additional insureds and shall conform with the requirements of the Lease and Tenant shall be required to notify Landlord not later than thirty (30) days’ prior to any termination of such policies.  All insurance policies of Tenant’s contractors shall be on a per project basis.  Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of such insurance as a condition precedent to Tenant’s entry onto the Premises pursuant to Section 5.3.1 above and this Section 5.3.2.  The provisions of Section 17(b) of the Lease shall otherwise govern Tenant’s obligations relating to the insurance described in this Section 5.3.2.  Landlord shall cause the Construction Manager to reasonably cooperate with Tenant in the exercise of its entry rights under Section 5.3.1 above.  Tenant and any of Tenant’s Agents entering upon the Premises hereunder shall comply with all established jobsite and safety rules and practices of Landlord’s contractor and Landlord until completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements and acceptance thereof by Tenant.  If Landlord determines in good faith that the entry or activities of Tenant upon the Project or the Premises hereunder is materially interfering with or delaying the completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements or any inspections or issuance of final approvals by applicable governmental authorities, Landlord may upon written notice to Tenant suspend such entry and activities. 





	
5.3.3
	
Landlord’s Turnover Requirements.  Subject to this Work Letter, Landlord assigns jointly to Tenant and Landlord, as of the expiration of the Warranty Period, any and all Warranty Rights it has against the Construction Manager and manufacturers of building components in the Non-TI Project Improvements for which Tenant is responsible to maintain and repair under the Lease, such that Tenant may independently exercise Warranty Rights as may be required in order to fulfill its obligations under the Lease and hereunder. In the event the Landlord cannot legally assign the Warranty Rights it has against the Construction Manager to Tenant, Tenant will, without prejudice to any other right, remedy or recourse, have the right to require Landlord to exercise any of its contractual rights against the Construction Manager, the whole at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. For clarification, any assignment by Landlord to Tenant of the Warranty Rights pursuant to this Work Letter does not preclude Landlord from itself exercising the Warranty Rights against the debtors thereof, it being the intention of the parties that in no event shall Landlord’s rights to exercise Warranty Rights be cancelled, terminated, abrogated or limited as a result of the joint assignment contained herein.  In the case of an assignment of the Lease by Tenant, Tenant will have the obligation to assign its Warranty Rights pursuant to this Work Letter to such assignee subject to the terms hereof. Furthermore, the Warranty Rights are deemed re-assigned back to Landlord after the termination of the Lease save and except for all Warranty Rights necessary for Tenant to exercise any of its Warranty Rights against the Construction Manager or any applicable manufacturer in respect of any claim regarding events having occurred prior to the termination of the Lease. Landlord further covenants that it shall not permit the Construction Manager to assign, cede or transfer any of its rights or obligations under its contract with Landlord, it being confirmed, however, for greater clarity that the Construction Manager may enter into subcontract agreements with third parties as contemplated hereunder.

Such election shall be final and binding on Tenant, and may not thereafter be modified without Landlord's consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute subjective discretion.  If Tenant elects to receive the Additional TI Allowance in accordance with this Section, thereafter such Additional TI Allowance shall be deemed to be part of the TI Allowance under this Work Letter.  The TI Allowance shall be disbursed in accordance with this Work Letter.

payment of Base Rent) of any portion of the TI Allowance not required for payment of TI Costs as defined below. 





	
6.5
	
Costs Includable in TI Allowance.  The TI Allowance shall be used solely for TI Costs.  The term “TI Costs” shall mean: (a) the payment of architectural, engineering and consultant fees, and permits and construction costs in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation: (i) the cost of procuring and installing Tenant’s voice and data cabling; (ii) the cost of electrical power and other utilities used in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements; (iii) the cost of preparing the Tenant Plans; (iv) all costs set forth in the Budget, including Landlord’s out-of-pocket expenses; and (v) the cost of Tenant-Requested Modifications (collectively, “TI Costs”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the TI Allowance shall not be used to purchase any furniture, personal property or other non-Building system materials or equipment, including, nor shall the TI Allowance be used for the cost of demountable partitions (unless Tenant provides its written agreement that the same shall be the property of Landlord and shall remain with the Building).





	
6.6
	
Allocation of TI Costs.  Landlord shall have no obligation to bear any portion of TI Costs except to the extent of the TI Allowance or caused by a Landlord Delay (as defined below).  As used in this Work Letter, “Landlord’s Portion” shall equal the TI Allowance.  For purposes of this Work Letter, “Landlord’s Proportionate Share” shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Landlord’s Portion and the denominator of which shall be the then-current Budget for the Tenant Improvements.  If at any time TI Costs under the Budget exceed the TI Allowance, the difference shall be referred to herein as “Tenant’s Portion.”  For purposes of this Work Letter, “Tenant’s Proportionate Share” shall mean a fraction, the numerator of which is Tenant’s Portion and the denominator of which is the then-current Budget.  There shall be an adjustment of Landlord’s Proportionate Share and Tenant’s Proportionate Share from time to time based on changes in the anticipated TI Costs for the Tenant Improvements.





	
6.7
	
Excess TI Costs.  Landlord shall have no obligation to bear any portion of the cost of any of the Tenant Improvements except to the extent of the TI Allowance.  If at any time and from time-to-time, the remaining TI Costs under the then-current Budget exceed the remaining unexpended TI Allowance, the amount of the then-current TI Costs in excess of the remaining TI Allowance shall be referred to herein as "Excess TI Costs".   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.7, Tenant shall be fully and solely liable for Excess TI Costs.  With respect to any Excess TI Costs not paid by Tenant when due, Landlord shall have all of the rights and remedies set forth in the Lease for nonpayment of Rent (including, but not limited to, the right to interest at the Default Rate after the expiration of five (5) business days after notice from Landlord of the date when due and the right to assess a late charge).  For purposes of any enforcement action instituted with regard to such amounts, those amounts will be deemed Rent under the Lease.





	
6.8
	
Payment for TI Costs; Requisitions.  During the course of design and construction of the Tenant Improvements, until Landlord has paid the entirety of Landlord’s Portion, Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Proportionate Share of the TI Costs once a month against a draw request submitted by Tenant for TI Costs previously paid by Tenant, which draw

request shall include reasonably detailed documentation of the TI Costs so paid by Tenant and contain such certifications, lien waivers (including a conditional lien release for each progress payment and unconditional lien releases for the prior month's progress payments), inspection reports and other matters as is commercially customary (collectively, a “Requisition”), to the extent of Landlord's approval thereof for payment, within 30 days of receipt of such Requisition, so long as such Requisition is submitted to, and approved by, Landlord by the 5th day of the month. 





	
6.9
	
Good Faith Dispute.  Landlord shall have no obligation to pay Landlord’s Portion with respect to any Requisition submitted after the  dates set forth in Section 6.3 above; provided, however, that if Tenant certifies to Landlord that Tenant is engaged in a good faith dispute with any contractor, such dates shall be extended while such dispute is ongoing, but in no event longer than one hundred eighty (180) days, so long as Tenant is diligently prosecuting the resolution of such dispute and complying with the terms of Section 15 of the Lease.





	
6.10
	
Documentation upon Completion of Tenant Improvements.  Upon completion of the Tenant Improvements (and prior to any final disbursement of Landlord’s Portion for the Tenant Improvements), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord with Tenant’s Requisition:  (i) sworn statements setting forth the names of all contractors and first tier subcontractors who did the work and final, unconditional lien waivers from all such contractors and first tier subcontractors; (ii) as-built plans (two (2) copies in print format and one (1) copy in Revit or compatible format) for such Tenant Improvements; (iii) a certification of substantial completion in Form AIA G704, (iv) a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises (or temporary Certificate of Occupancy if for a portion of the Premises); and (v) copies of all operation and maintenance manuals and warranties affecting the Premises.

LEED Requirements

EAc4:  Enhanced Refrigerant Management

The base building heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems have been selected to reduce ozone depletion and support early compliance with the Montreal Protocol while minimizing direct contributions to climate change.  All tenant provided HVAC&R equipment must also comply with the following formula, which sets a maximum threshold for the combined contributions to ozone depletion and global warming potential:

 


	
	
Σ ( LCGWP + LCODP x 105 ) x Qunit    <  100

	
                          Qtotal




 

IEQc5:  Indoor Chemical and Pollutant Source Control

The base building has been designed to minimize building occupant exposure to potentially hazardous particulates and chemical pollutants.  All tenant work affecting the entry of pollutants into the building and potential cross contamination of regularly occupied areas must be mitigated through the following strategies, as applicable to the tenant improvements:

 

1. Employ permanent entryway systems at least 10 feet long (3 meters) in the primary direction of travel to capture dirt and particulates entering the building at regularly used exterior entrances. Acceptable entryway systems include permanently installed grates, grills and slotted systems that allow for cleaning underneath. Roll-out mats are acceptable only when maintained on a weekly basis by a contracted service organization.  Projects that do not have entryway systems cannot achieve this credit.

 

2.Sufficiently exhaust each space where hazardous gases or chemicals may be present or used (e.g. garages, housekeeping and laundry areas and copying and printing rooms) to create negative pressure with respect to adjacent spaces when the doors to the room are closed. For each of these spaces, provide self-closing doors and deck-to-deck partitions or a hard-lid ceiling.  The exhaust rate must be at least 0.50 cubic feet per minute (cfm) per square foot (0.15 cubic meters per minute per square meter), with no air recirculation. The pressure differential with the surrounding spaces must be at least 5 Pascals (Pa) (0.02 inches of water gauge) on average and 1 Pa (0.004 inches of water) at a minimum when the doors to the rooms are closed.

 

3.In mechanically ventilated buildings, each ventilation system that supplies outdoor air shall comply with the following:

 


	
 
	
A.
	
Particle filters or air cleaning devices shall be provided to clean the outdoor air at any location prior to its introduction to occupied spaces.

B.
	
These filters or devices shall meet one of the following criteria: 





	
 
	
·
	
Filtration media is rated a minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) of 13 or  higher in accordance with ASHRAE Standard 52.2.





	
 
	
·
	
Filtration media is Class F7 or higher, as defined by CEN Standard EN 779: 2002, Particulate air filters for general ventilation, Determination of the filtration performance.





	
 
	
·
	
Filtration media has a minimum dust spot efficiency of 80% or higher and greater than 98% arrestance on a particle size of 3–10 μg.





	
 
	
C.
	
Clean air filtration media shall be installed in all air systems after completion of construction and prior to occupancy.




Innovation Credit:  Low-Mercury Lighting

The developer is pursuing a LEED Innovation Credit for the use of low-mercury lighting.  All tenant provided interior and exterior site lighting must be designed and specified such that it does not exceed average mercury content of 80 picograms per lumen hour.

1.Subordination.  Subject to Section 2, the Lease is subordinate and inferior to the lien of the Mortgage, as affected by any amendment, renewal, substitution, extension or replacement of the Mortgage and each advance made thereunder as though the Mortgage, and each such amendment, renewal, substitution, extension or replacement were executed and recorded, and the advance made, before the execution of the Lease. 

2.Non-Disturbance.  So long as Tenant is not in Default (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed: (i) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Agent in the exercise of any of its rights under the Mortgage during the term of the Lease, or any extension or renewal thereof made in accordance with the terms of the Lease, (ii) Agent will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding for the purpose of terminating Tenant’s interest and estate under the Lease because of any default under the Mortgage, and (iii) Agent shall recognize all of Tenant’s rights under the Lease (subject to the terms of this Agreement).

3.Attornment and Certificates.  In the event Agent succeeds to the interest of Landlord as Landlord under the Lease, or if the Property or the Premises are sold pursuant to the power of sale under the Mortgage, Tenant shall attorn to Agent, or a purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, and shall recognize Agent, or such purchaser, thereafter as the Landlord under the Lease.  Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instrument.  Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the request of any holder(s) of any of the indebtedness or other obligations secured by the Mortgage, or upon request of any such purchaser: (a) any instrument or certificate, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant, which, in the reasonable judgment of such holder(s), or such purchaser, may be necessary or appropriate in any such foreclosure proceeding or otherwise to evidence such attornment, and (b) an instrument or certificate regarding the status of the Lease, consisting of statements, if true (and if not true, specifying in what respect): (i) that the Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) the date through which rentals have been paid, (iii) the duration and date of the commencement of the term of the Lease, (iv) the nature of any amendments or modifications to the Lease, (v) that, to the knowledge of Tenant, no default, or state of facts, which with the passage of time, or notice, or both, would constitute a default, exists on the part of either party to the Lease, (vi) the dates on which payments of additional rent, if any, are due under the Lease and (vii) any other matters provided to be given in estoppels by Tenant under the Lease.

4.Limitations.  If: (i) Agent exercises any of its rights under the Assignment or the Mortgage, or (ii) Agent shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under the Lease in any manner, or (iii) any purchaser acquires the Property, or the Premises, upon or after any foreclosure of the Mortgage, or any deed in lieu thereof (each hereinafter referred to as a “Succession Event”), Agent or such purchaser, as the case may be, shall have the same remedies by entry, action or otherwise in the event of any default by Tenant (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be paid, performed or observed that the Landlord had or would have had if Agent or such purchaser had not succeeded to the interest of the present Landlord.

Succession Event, Agent or such purchaser shall, except as provided herein, be bound to Tenant under all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and Tenant shall, from and after such attornment to Agent, or to such purchaser, have the same remedies against Agent, or such purchaser, for the breach of an agreement contained in the Lease that Tenant might have had under the Lease against Landlord, if Agent or such purchaser had not succeeded to the interest of Landlord; provided, however, that Agent or such purchaser shall only be bound during the period of its ownership, and that in the case of the exercise by Agent of its rights under the Mortgage, or the Assignment, or any combination thereof, or a foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, all Tenant claims shall be satisfied only out of the interest, if any, of Agent, or such purchaser, in the Property, and Agent and such purchaser shall not, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, be (a) liable for any act or omission or misrepresentation of any prior landlord (including the Landlord); or (b) liable for or incur any obligation with respect to the construction of the Property or any improvements of the Premises or the Property; provided that Agent shall recognize Tenant’s rights under Sections 2(b) and 31(c) of the Lease or (c) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord, except those of which notice of which was given to Agent in accordance with Section 9 hereof; or (d) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the then current rental period to any prior landlord including the Landlord (other than to the extent that estimated monthly payments required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to provisions of the Lease exceed the actual amount of additional rent due from Tenant); or (e) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease, made without Agent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and which consent shall not be required with respect to amendments ratifying the exercise by Tenant of its rights under the Lease (e.g., without limitation, extension and expansion options); (f) bound by or responsible for any security deposit or proceeds of any letter of credit not actually received by Agent; or (g) liable for or incur any obligation with respect to the payment of any amounts due and owing to the Tenant by the Landlord including, without limitation, payment of any TI Allowance (as defined in the “Work Letter-Tenant Improvements” in Exhibit C to the Lease); provided that Agent shall recognize Tenant’s rights under Section 31(c) of the Lease or (h) liable for consequential damages. 

Subject to Tenant’s obligation to provide notice of defaults to Agent as provided in Section 7, below:  (x) nothing herein shall affect or delay Tenant’s rights under Sections 2(c), 18, 19 and 31 of the Lease (including, without limitation, its rights of offset in the event that Tenant exercises any self-help right pursuant to Section 31(b)); (y) any holder shall be required to recognize Tenant’s offset rights under Section 31(c) in the event that Landlord fails to timely pay any portion of the TI Allowance or Additional TI Allowance under the provisions of Exhibit C to the Lease within 30 days after notice from Tenant of the date when due as set forth in said Section 31(c), and (z) no holder shall be relieved of its obligations as party-Landlord arising under the Lease from or after the date of a Succession Event that such holder first acquires title or possession to the Premises.

However, Agent shall in no event be responsible for any hazardous materials or environmental or safety issues, or any violations of any related laws, rules regulations or orders with respect to the Property (an “Environmental Concern”) which first occur or first exist prior to any acceptance of title to the Property by Agent after foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, if ever.  The presumptive burden of proof shall be on any party claiming that any Environmental Concern first occurred or first existed after Agent acquired title to the Property.

6.Rights Reserved.

7.Notice and Right to Cure.

Agent shall have no obligation to cure any default or failure under the Lease.

Except in the event of any emergency threatening life or property, Tenant shall not exercise any self-help right under the Lease if, within ten (10) business days after Tenant notifies Agent of its intent to exercise self-help (which notice may not be given prior to the expiration of Landlord’s cure period) Agent notifies Tenant that Agent intends to cure the default if Landlord does not and within twenty (20) business days after Tenant notifies Agent of its intent to exercise self-help (which notice may not be given prior to the expiration of Landlord’s cure period, Agent

Landlord unconditionally authorizes and directs Tenant to make rental payments directly to Agent following receipt of such notice and further agrees that Tenant may rely upon such notice without any obligation to further inquire as to whether or not any default exists under the Mortgage or the Assignment, that Landlord shall have no right or claim against Tenant for or by reason of any payments of rent or other charges made by Tenant to Agent following receipt of such notice, and that any amounts paid by Tenant in accordance with such notice shall have the same effect under the Lease as if Tenant had made such payments directly to Landlord.

12.No Amendment of Lease.  So long as the Mortgage remains undischarged of record, Tenant shall not amend or modify the Lease without Agent’s prior written consent in each instance, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned in the case of an amendment or modification of the Lease or any assignment and subletting (and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall not be required with respect to any amendment, modification or termination which is the result of the exercise by Tenant of its rights under the Lease, e.g., without limitation, extension and expansion rights).

13.Captions.  Captions and headings of sections are not parts of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

14.Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

15.Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

16.Parties Bound.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Tenant, Agent, Lender and Landlord and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, reference to successors and assigns of Tenant shall not constitute a consent by Landlord to an assignment or sublet by Tenant, but has reference only to those instances in which such consent is not required pursuant to the Lease or for which such consent has been given.
