ARTICLE 1
DEMISE

Section 1.01. Premises. Landlord does hereby rent and lease to Tenant, and Tenant hereby rents and leases from Landlord, the following described space in the building located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the “Building”): approximately 7807 square feet of Usable Area, calculated in accordance with BOMA Standard Method For Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, located on all or a portion of the 2nd floor of the Building, known as Suite # 2200, together with approximately 82 square feet of Usable Area located in the basement of the Building for storage space. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that said square footage figures are accurate for all purposes used herein. The space hereby leased in the Building is hereinafter called the “Premises” and is outlined on the floor plan drawings attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part hereof for all purposes. The Building is located in the biotechnology research and development campus known as The CRP Biotech Campus (the “Campus”), and this Lease and Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises shall be subject to all of the covenants, rules and restrictions (including without limitation applicable zoning ordinances) of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Research Park West and The CRP Biotech Campus.

Section 1.02. Parking Areas and Common Areas. Tenant shall have the right to use all portions of the real property adjacent to the Building that are designated from time to time by Landlord as parking areas (the “Parking Areas”) and the Common Areas (as defined in Section 4.04) on a nonexclusive basis in common with the other tenants of the Building in accordance with Article 4, and with the Building Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit C and the Parking Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D.

Section 1.03. Relocation of Tenant. Landlord shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to relocate Tenant to other premises within the Building of equal or greater kind and quality as the Premises. In no event shall any relocation accomplished pursuant to this Section 1.03 result in an increase in Rent or other sums payable under this Lease unless Tenant shall consent to an expansion of the Premises in connection with such relocation. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption or inconvenience to Tenant during any relocation. Landlord’s liability to pay for the cost of any such relocation shall be limited to the direct costs of the relocation, and not consequential or speculative costs (e.g., loss of profits incurred by Tenant during relocation).

ARTICLE 2
TERM; ACCEPTANCE AND SURRENDER OF PREMISES; HOLDOVER

Section 2.01. Lease Term. The term of this Lease shall begin on the Commencement Date (as defined below) and terminate sixty (60) months thereafter (the “Lease Term”). The Lease Term shall commence on the earlier of (a) the first business day following the date which is fifteen (15) business days after Landlord delivers to Tenant written notice stating that the Premises are ready to be occupied by Tenant, or (b) the date Tenant commences business operations in the Premises (such earlier date being referred to herein as the “Commencement Date”). The Commencement Date shall be confirmed by Tenant pursuant to the Commencement Date Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, which Tenant shall execute within fifteen (15) days following delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant as herein provided. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s obligation to pay rent shall not commence until the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the Commencement Date (the “Rent Commencement Date”).

Section 2.02. Termination Rights.

A. If Tenant constructs (or causes the construction of) a building within the Campus, Tenant may terminate this Lease and the Lease Term prior to its expiration in order to move out of the Building and to move immediately into the newly constructed building when such building is completed and ready for occupancy by Tenant.

B. In addition, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease at anytime after the thirtieth (30th) month of the Lease Term by delivering at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of such termination to Landlord, provided that on or before the effective date of such termination, Tenant shall (i) pay to Landlord all Rent and any other sums due and payable to Landlord accruing through the effective date of the termination, and (ii) reimburse Landlord for the full amount of the rent credit for the first six months of the Lease Term as provided for in the last sentence of Section 2.01(a) above, calculated as the product of the aggregate initial monthly rental for the Premises as set forth in Section 3.01 times six (6) months.

Section 2.03. Common Design; Tenant Improvements. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord intends that the Premises have an appearance and design that is common with the Common Areas and other tenant spaces of the Building. Accordingly, Landlord’s architect has developed a common look and feel for all non-laboratory space within the Building, and Landlord will provide integrated office furniture, fixtures, equipment and color schemes for non-laboratory spaces in the HAIB Building (including within the Premises). During the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right to use all such office furniture, fixtures and equipment located within the Premises, a detailed inventory and description of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B, as the same may be amended from time to time (collectively, the “Building FF&E”) for the purpose for which such items are intended, but the Building FF&E shall remain the sole property of Landlord at all times.

Section 2.04. Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, Landlord covenants and agrees that Tenant may peaceably hold and quietly enjoy the Premises subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Lease.

Section 2.05. Surrender of Premises.

A. Tenant shall surrender and deliver up the Premises (including, without limitation, all Building FF&E) at the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, in good repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear thereof excepted.

B. “Tenant’s Personal Property” shall mean all equipment, machinery, furniture, furnishings and other personal property now or hereafter installed or placed in or on the Premises by and at the sole expense of Tenant that can be removed without damage to the Premises or the Building. Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s approval of such Tenant’s Personal Property before installing or placing the same in the Premises. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Personal Property from the Premises at the expiration or termination of the Lease and shall repair any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by such removal. All other property located within the Premises (other than alterations and additions required by Landlord to be removed by Tenant pursuant to Section 5.03 hereof), including wall-to-wall carpet, paneling or other wall covering, and any other article attached or affixed to the floor, wall or ceiling of the Premises, shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant hereby waiving all rights to any payment or compensation therefor. Any property belonging to Tenant or any other person that is left in the Premises after the Lease Term shall be deemed to be have been abandoned; provided, however, that Tenant shall remain liable for the cost of the removal of such property.

Section 2.06. Holdover. If Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after the expiration of the Lease Term, or upon any earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed a tenant from month-to-month, with rent due and payable for such holdover period at the rate of one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the monthly rent in effect at the expiration (or earlier termination) of this Lease. During any such holdover period, all other terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and such tenancy from month-to-month shall be cancelable by either party by giving written notice thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of cancellation.

ARTICLE 3
RENT

Section 3.01. Rent. For purposes of this Lease, each successive period of twelve (12) months during the Lease Term commencing on the Commencement Date shall be a “Lease Year”. As consideration of and for this Lease and the Premises, commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an initial net annual rental equal to the sum of $15.00 per square foot with respect to 7807 square feet of Tenant’s Premises located at Suite # 2200, and $5.00 per square foot with respect to 82 square feet of Tenant’s Premises for storage located in the basement of the Building as reflected on Exhibit A (collectively, the “Rent”). Rent will be adjusted on the first day of the third Lease Year and on the first day of each Lease Year thereafter (each such date an “Adjustment Date”) to reflect the increase, if any, in the cost of living from the month and year in which the Commencement Date occurs; provided, however, that Rent for any Lease Year shall not increase by more than 2% over the Rent in effect for the immediately preceding Lease Year. In no event shall the annual rent due after the Adjustment Date ever be a sum which is less than the annual rent due before the Adjustment Date. The annual rent due as a result of an increase in the cost of living shall be calculated in accordance with the calculation set forth in this Section 3.01. The basis for computing the cost of living shall be the unadjusted Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, All Items (1982-84 = 100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor (“Index”). The Index for the month and year in which the Commencement Date occurs shall be the “Base Index Number”. The Index for the month immediately preceding the Adjustment Date shall be the “Current Index Number”. The annual Rent for each Lease Year commencing with the third Lease Year shall be the greater of (i) the annual Rent then in effect immediately prior to the Adjustment Date, and (ii) the product obtained from multiplying the amount of annual rent in effect prior to the applicable Adjustment Date by 3 the fraction whose numerator is equal to the Current Index Number and whose denominator is equal to the Base Index Number.

Adjusted Annual Rent = Annual Rent Prior to Adjustment Date		x		Current Index Number
				Base Index Number

If the aforesaid Index is not in existence at the time the determination is to be made, the parties shall use such equivalent price index as is published by a successor government agency in lieu of the Index; or if no such price index is published, then the parties shall use a mutually acceptable equivalent price index as is published by a non-governmental agency.

Section 3.02. Payments of Rent. Rent shall be due and payable in equal monthly installments, in advance, without notice, demand, setoff or deduction, on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term. Tenant shall pay the Rent to Landlord by delivering or mailing (postage prepaid) the Rent to Landlord at the following address:

▇▇▇▇▇▇-Alpha Institute for Biotechnology
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

or to such other address or in such other manner as Landlord may, from time to time, specify by written notice to Tenant (including without limitation via Automated Clearing House (ACH) payment to a financial institution designated by Landlord). Any payment which is less than the amount of Rent then due shall constitute a payment made on account thereof, the parties hereby agreeing that Landlord’s acceptance of such payment shall not alter or impair Landlord’s right to be paid all or any amounts then or thereafter due and shall not prevent Tenant from being in default or Landlord from exercising all its remedies hereunder. Rent shall be prorated for any partial month that this Lease is in effect.

ARTICLE 4
USE OF PREMISES; COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

Section 4.01. Permitted Use. Tenant agrees that Landlord is leasing the Premises to Tenant based on the representation by Tenant that the use of Premises by Tenant shall be in the field of biotechnology, including research, office, laboratory, sales, service, training and production. Tenant agrees that it shall only use the Premises in connection with such use in the field of biotechnology and shall not use the Premises for any non-biotechnology uses.

Section 4.02. Covenants of Tenant Regarding Use. In connection with its use of the Premises, Tenant agrees to do the following:

A. Tenant shall use the Premises and conduct its business thereon in a safe, careful, reputable and lawful manner.

B. Tenant (i) shall not use, or permit any other person to use, the Premises for any (a) unlawful purpose or act and (b) any use other than the permitted use set forth in Section 4.01; (ii) shall comply with and obey all laws, regulations and orders of any governmental authority or agency; (iii) shall not commit or permit any waste or damage to the Premises; (iv) shall comply with all reasonable directions of the Landlord, including without limitation, all the Building Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit C, all the Parking Rules and Regulations attached hereto as Exhibit D and all Laboratory Rules and Regulations applicable to all laboratory spaces within the Building attached here to as Exhibit H, as the same may be modified from time to time by Landlord on reasonable notice to Tenant; and (v) shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises that constitutes a nuisance or in any way obstructs or interferes with the rights of other tenants or occupants of the Building or their invitees, or injure or annoy such tenants, occupants or their invitees. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building of any of the Building Rules and Regulations, but agrees to take reasonable measures to assure such other tenant’s compliance.

C. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure or obtain any and all necessary permits, licenses, or other authorizations required for lawful and proper use, occupation and management of the Premises.

D. Tenant shall not overload the floors of the Premises beyond their designed weight-bearing capacity, which Landlord has determined to be 80 PSI for all corridor floor space and 100 PSI for all office and laboratory floor space, including an allowance for partition load.

E. Tenant shall not use the Premises, or allow the Premises to be used, for any purpose or in any manner that would, in Landlord’s opinion, invalidate any policy of insurance now or hereafter carried on the Building and/or the Campus or increase the rate of premiums payable on any such insurance policy. Should Tenant fail to comply with this covenant, Landlord may, at its option, require Tenant to stop engaging in such activity or to reimburse Landlord as additional rent for any increase in premiums charged during the Lease Term on the insurance carried by Landlord on the Premises and attributable to the use being made of the Premises by Tenant.

F. Tenant shall not inscribe, paint, affix or display any signs, advertisements or notices on the interior or exterior of the Building or on or about the Parking Areas and Common Areas or within the Premises which are visible from outside the Premises, except for such tenant identification information as Landlord permits to be included or shown on the directory board in the main lobby and on or adjacent to the access door or doors to the Premises, or such other signs Landlord may consent to in writing.

Section 4.03. Landlord’s Rights Regarding Use. In addition to the rights specified elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord shall have the following rights regarding the use of the Premises, the Parking Areas or the Common Areas by Tenant, its employees, agents, customers and invitees, each of which may be exercised without notice or liability to Tenant:

A. Landlord shall install such signs, advertisements or notices or tenant identification information on the directory board and tenant access doors, as it shall deem necessary or proper.

B. Landlord shall approve or disapprove, prior to installation, all types of drapes; shades and other window coverings used in the Premises, and may control all internal lighting that may be visible from outside the Premises

C. Landlord shall approve or disapprove all sign painting and lettering used on the Premises and the Building, including the suppliers thereof.

D. Landlord may control the Parking Areas and the Common Areas in such manner as it deems necessary or proper, including by way of illustration and not limitation: requiring all persons entering or leaving the Building to identify themselves and their business in the Building; excluding or expelling any peddler, solicitor or loud or unruly person from the Building; and closing or limiting access to the Building or any part thereof, including entrances, corridors, doors and elevators, during times of special events sponsored by Landlord, emergency repairs or after regular business hours.

E. Landlord reserves the right, subject to Tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment of the Premises, to modify the size, location, arrangement, finish and other features of the Common Areas and the Parking Areas of the Building, and to alter, modify, or add onto the Building (other than the Premises) and the Parking Areas.

Section 4.04. Definition of Common Areas. The term “Common Areas”, as used in this Lease, refers to the areas of the Building and the Campus that are designed for use in common by all tenants of the Building and their respective employees, agents, customers, invitees and others, and includes, by way of illustration and not limitation (i) entrances and exits, lobbies, hallways and stairwells, elevators, restrooms and snack bars or other vending areas located outside the premises leased to tenants, (ii) sidewalks, driveways, the Parking Areas and landscaped areas, (iii) temporary guest quarters located outside the premises leased to tenants, (iv) the cafeteria, the library, the gym/workout area, and (v) other areas as may be designated by Landlord from time to time as part of the Common Areas of the Building.

Section 4.05. Access to and Inspection of Premises. Landlord, its employees and agents and any mortgagee of the Building shall have the right to enter any part of the Premises during normal business hours for the purposes of examining or inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants and making such repairs, alterations or improvements to the Premises or the Building as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable; provided, however, in the event of an emergency, as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, no prior notice shall be required and entry shall not be limited to normal business hours. In addition, during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the Lease Term, Landlord, its employees and agents shall have the right to enter any part of the Premises at reasonable times for the purposes of showing the same to prospective tenants. If representatives of Tenant shall not be present to open and permit such entry into the Premises at any time when such entry is necessary or permitted hereunder, Landlord and its employees and agents may enter the Premises by means of a master or pass key or otherwise. Landlord shall incur no liability to Tenant for such entry, nor shall such entry constitute an eviction of Tenant or a termination of this Lease, or entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent therefor.

ARTICLE 5

Section 5.01. Repair and Maintenance of the Building. Subject to Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations pursuant to Section 5.02 below, Landlord shall repair and maintain in good working order and condition (i) the elevators, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, ventilation, sprinkler and other mechanical systems of the Building, (ii) the structural components of the Building, including without limitation, the roof, foundation, exterior walls, exterior doors and exterior windows, and (iii) the Common Areas and Parking Areas of the Building.

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Section to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to make any repairs necessitated by the negligence, willful misconduct, misuse or default of Tenant, its employees, agents, customers and invitees.

Section 5.02. Repair and Maintenance of Premises. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, keep in good repair all portions of the Premises, including but not limited to windows, glass and plate glass, doors, interior walls and finish work, floors and floor coverings, Building FF&E, and supplemental or special heating and air conditioning systems, and shall take good care of the Premises and its fixtures (including without limitation, Building FF&E) and permit no waste, except normal wear and tear. Tenant shall maintain and replace, at its cost and expense, all light bulbs and fixtures in the Premises that are not the Building’s standard light fixtures and bulbs. Any repairs required under this Section, although paid for by Tenant, will be performed by Landlord, except with regard to laboratory areas within the Premises, in which case Tenant shall perform all maintenance and repairs to such areas, including without limitation maintenance and repairs to fume hoods, freezers, coolers, snorkels, biohazard cabinets and lab benches.

Section 5.03. Alterations. Tenant may not make any changes, additions, alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises and Building FF&E or attach or affix any articles thereto without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion for any reason or no reason. If Landlord permits any such changes or alterations, they will be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and will subject to such requirements and conditions as Landlord may impose in its sole discretion, including without limitation the following requirements: (i) that all permitted alterations, improvements and additions to the Premises shall be performed only by Landlord or by contractors approved by Landlord in accordance with plans and specifications approved by Landlord; and (ii) that Tenant, upon the expiration of this Lease, restore the Premises to the same condition as existed on the Commencement Date at Tenant’s expense.

Section 5.04. Landlord Services.

A. Landlord shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish the Premises with the following services (the “Landlord Services”):

(i) Tepid water (at the normal temperature of the supply of water to the Building) for lavatory and toilet purposes, refrigerated water for drinking purposes, and hot water, all of such water service to be supplied from the regular supply of water to the Building through fixtures installed by Landlord either in the Common Areas or the Premises, as Landlord shall determine;

(ii) Landlord shall furnish seasonable air conditioning and heating during normal business hours as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Should Tenant desire either heating or air conditioning at other times, Landlord agrees to provide same, but at Tenant’s expense at such hourly rates as may be determined from time to time by Landlord, which charge Tenant shall pay promptly upon being billed therefor;

(iii) Landlord shall furnish electric current for Building standard tenant lighting and small business machinery only from electric circuits designated by Landlord for Tenant’s use. Such circuits will be fed into one or more of the existing electrical panel(s) in the electrical closets located adjacent to the Premises. Tenant’s usage of said panels on any given floor shall not exceed Tenant’s pro rata share (based on rentable square footage) of the panels’ capacity. Tenant will not use any electrical equipment which in Landlord’s opinion will overload the wiring installations or interfere with the reasonable use thereof by other users in the Building. Tenant will not, without Landlord’s prior written consent in each instance, connect any items such as non-Building standard tenant lighting, vending equipment, printing or duplicating machines, computers (other than desktop word processors and personal computers), auxiliary air conditioners, laboratory equipment, and other related equipment to the Building’s electrical system, or make any alteration or addition to the system. If Tenant desires any such items, additional 208/120 volt electrical power beyond that supplied by Landlord as provided above, electric current in excess of 208/120 volts for purposes other than Building Standard tenant lighting, or other special power requirements or circuits, then Tenant may request Landlord to provide such supplemental power or circuits to the Premises, which request Landlord may grant or withhold in its reasonable discretion. If Landlord furnishes such power or circuits, Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of the design, installation and maintenance of the facilities required to provide such additional or special electric power or circuits and the cost of all electric current so provided at such rates as may be determined from time to time by Landlord. Landlord may require separate electrical metering of such supplemental electrical power or circuits to the Premises, and Tenant shall pay, on demand, the cost of the design, installation and maintenance of such metering facilities. In the event such additional electrical power is not separately metered, Landlord may utilize agreed upon estimates to pay for such additional electric power and Tenant agrees to pay for such additional agreed upon estimates on a monthly basis, in addition to any other rent or charges hereunder. Tenant shall not have access to any electrical closets in the Building; any electrical engineering design or contract work shall be performed at Tenant’s expense by Landlord or an electrical engineer and/or electrical contractor designated by Landlord. All invoices respecting the design, installation and maintenance of the facilities requested by Tenant shall be paid within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt thereof. Landlord’s charge to Tenant for the cost of electric current so provided shall be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice by Tenant.

(iv) Waste disposal, cleaning and janitorial service, including the supplying and installing of paper towels, toilet tissue and soap in the Common Areas on Monday through Friday of each week except legal holidays; provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible at its own cost for hazardous waste disposal, cleaning of laboratory areas within the Premises, and carpet cleaning other than routine vacuuming;

(v) Replacement of all lamps, bulbs, starters and ballasts in Building Standard lighting as required from time to time as a result of normal usage;

(vi) Cleaning and maintenance of the Parking Areas and Common Areas, including the removal of rubbish and snow;

(vii) Washing of exterior and interior windows at intervals reasonably established by Landlord;

(viii) Exterior lighting and pass-card or other security access to the Building after standard building hours; and

(ix) Automatic elevator service.

Landlord in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, provide patrol service to monitor the Parking Areas and Building entrances.

B. Except as otherwise set forth above, the Landlord Services shall be provided during normal business hours as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Landlord shall give Tenant at least seventy-two (72) hours advance notice of any utilities which will be unavailable within the knowledge and control of Landlord.

C. Tenant understands, acknowledges and agrees that any one or more of the utilities or other building services identified in this Section 5.04 may be interrupted by reason of accident, emergency or other causes beyond Landlord’s control, or may be discontinued or diminished temporarily by Landlord or other persons until certain repairs, alterations or improvements can be made; that Landlord does not represent or warrant the uninterrupted availability of such utilities or building services, and that any such interruption shall not be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s right to possession, occupancy and use of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages by abatement of rent or otherwise, or relieve Tenant from the obligation to perform its covenants under this Lease, including the payment of rent.

Section 5.05. Additional Services. If Tenant requests any other utilities or building services in addition to those identified above, or if any of the above utility or building services are substantially greater in frequency, scope, quality or quantity than those that are normally required by other tenants in the Building as determined by Landlord, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, use reasonable efforts to attempt to furnish Tenant with such additional utilities or building services. In the event Landlord is able to and does furnish such additional utilities or building services, the costs thereof shall be determined solely by Landlord, exercising its reasonable business judgment, and shall be borne by Tenant.

ARTICLE 6
MECHANICS’ LIENS

If any mechanics’ or other lien or order for the payment of money shall be filed against the Building or the property of which the Building is a part or any building or improvement thereon, by reason of or arising out of any labor or material furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for, or at the request of, Tenant at the Premises, or for or by reason of any change, alteration, or addition or the cost or expense thereof or any contract relating thereto, Tenant shall cause the same to be canceled and discharged of record, by bond or otherwise as allowed by law at the expense of Tenant, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, and shall also defend on behalf of Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any action, suit, or proceeding that may be brought thereon or for the enforcement of those liens, lien or orders, and Tenant will pay any damages and satisfy and discharge any judgment entered therein and indemnify and save harmless Landlord from any claim or damage resulting therefrom. If Tenant fails to have any such lien canceled or discharged, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, pay the claim upon which such lien is based so as to have such lien released of record; and, if Landlord does so, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, upon demand, the amount of such claim, plus all other costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. This Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 7

ARTICLE 8
INSURANCE; INDEMNITY

Section 8.01. Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall maintain liability, fire and extended coverage insurance in the Building, together with such other types of insurance coverage as are customarily maintained by owners of comparable first-class office/research and laboratory buildings in the Huntsville, Alabama metropolitan area, and such other insurance coverage as Landlord may elect in its sole discretion to carry. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s policy of casualty insurance may include commercially reasonable deductible limits that, notwithstanding the waiver set forth in Section 8.02 below, shall be considered the sole responsibility of Tenant hereunder to the extent of Tenant’s fault if Tenant or any person acting at the direction or under the control of Tenant is the cause of any loss covered by Landlord’s policy of casualty insurance.

Section 8.02. Waiver of Subrogation. Each party hereby waives any and every right or cause of action for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property (whether or not such loss or damage is caused by the fault or negligence of the other party or anyone for whom said other party may be responsible), which loss or damage is actually covered by valid and collectible fire, extended coverage, “All Risk” or similar policies maintained by such party or required to be maintained by such party under this Lease, subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 above and to the extent that such loss or damage is recovered under said policies. Written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers shall be given to each insurance carrier and said insurance policies shall be properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of said insurance coverages by reason of said waivers.

Section 8.03. Tenant’s Insurance.

A. Tenant shall carry and keep in full force and effect from and after the Commencement Date and at all times during the Lease Term broad-form commercial liability insurance with limits of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for each occurrence.

B. Tenant shall carry an all-risk insurance policy covering all of Tenant’s property located in the Premises (including without limitation Tenant’s Personal Property) for not less than the full insurable value and replacement cost thereof without reduction for depreciation. All proceeds of such insurance shall be used solely to restore, repair or replace Tenant’s property located in the Premises (including without limitation Tenant’s Personal Property).

C. Tenant shall obtain such additional amounts of insurance and additional types of coverage as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time.

D. All commercial general liability and property damage insurance policies and any other insurance policies carried by Tenant shall (i) be issued by insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of Alabama, with a then current ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. Best Company, Inc. (or if it no longer exists, a comparable rating service) general policy holder’s rating of “A” or better and financial size category of Class XII or higher and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; (ii) designate, as additional named insureds, Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, Landlord’s mortgagee(s) and any other parties designated by Landlord; (iii) be written as a primary policy coverage and not contributing with or in excess of any coverage that Landlord may carry; (iv) provide for thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord of any cancellation or other expiration of such policy; and (v) contain contractual liability coverage insuring the performance by Tenant of the indemnity provisions of this Lease. In addition, all property damage insurance policies shall either permit or contain an express waiver of any right to recovery (by subrogation or otherwise) by the insurance company against Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagees. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either a copy of each such policy of insurance or a certificate evidencing the coverages required hereunder prior to occupancy. Renewal certificates shall be provided by Tenant on an annual basis. Neither the issuance of any insurance policy required hereunder nor the minimum limits specified herein with respect to Tenant’s insurance coverage shall be deemed to limit or restrict in any way Tenant’s liability under this Lease.

Section 8.04. Liability of Landlord and Tenant.

A. Neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to Tenant, or to Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, subtenants, invitees or customers for any damage, injury, loss, or claims based on or arising out of any cause whatsoever, including without limitation, the following: repair to any portion of the Premises, the Building or Building FF&E; interruption in the use of the Premises or any equipment therein (including without limitation Building FF&E); any accident or damage resulting from any use or operation Landlord, Tenant, or any other person or entity of elevators, or the heating, cooling, electrical, sewerage, or plumbing equipment or apparatus, or the laboratory equipment (including without limitation autoclaves, fume hoods, freezers and environmental ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇); personal injury (including disease or illness), death or property damage resulting from the operation by Tenants or its employees, agents, contractors or invitees of the Premises or the business conducted therein; termination of the Lease by reason of damage to the Premises or the Building; fire, robbery, theft, vandalism, mysterious disappearance or any other casualty; actions of any other tenant of the Building or of any person or entity; failure or inability to furnish any service specified in this Lease; any leakage in any part of the Premises or the Building, or from drains, pipes, or plumbing fixtures in the Premises or the Building. Any property placed by Tenant in or about the Premises or the Building shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall not in any manner be responsible therefore. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be released from liability to Tenant for and to the extent of any injury caused by Landlord’s wanton or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall Landlord have any liability to Tenant on account of any claims for the interruption of or loss to Tenant’s business or for any indirect damages or consequential losses.

B. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for, and shall indemnity, protect, defend and hold Landlord, its employees, and agents harmless from and against all costs, damages, claims, liabilities, expenses (including attorneys’ fees, disbursements and actual costs), losses, and court costs suffered by or claimed against Landlord, directly or indirectly, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (i) the use and occupancy of the Premises or the business conducted therein, and/or the use of the Building FF&E; (ii) any act or omission of Tenant, its agents, contractors, employees, subtenants, or invitees; or (iii) any breach of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and not resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees or agents.

C. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Building in the event of any claim against Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant’s use of the Premises, and Tenant agrees that the liability of Landlord arising out of or in connection with the Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant’s use of the Premises, shall be limited to such estate and property of Landlord in and to the Building. No properties or assets of Landlord other than the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Building shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) or for the satisfaction of any other remedy of Tenant arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant’s use of the Premises.

ARTICLE 9
RESTORATION AFTER DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. In case the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord’s sole opinion, be required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such fire or other casualty) or in the event any mortgagee under a mortgage covering the Building should require that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of said fire or other casualty be used to retire the mortgage debt, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease and the Lease Term and estate hereby granted by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage, in which event the rent hereunder shall be abated as of the date of such damage. If Landlord does not thus elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage commence to repair and restore the Building and shall proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building (except that Landlord shall not be responsible for delays outside its control) to substantially the same condition in which it existed immediately prior to the happening of the casualty, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of Tenant’s furniture or furnishings or of fixtures and equipment removable by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the disregard of the repair thereof, unless resulting from Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, except that, Landlord shall allow Tenant a diminution of rent (in proportion to the diminution in the usable area of the Premises) during the time and to the extent the Premises are unfit for occupancy. Landlord may relocate Tenant in accordance with Section 1.03 either permanently or temporarily in order to accommodate restoration work performed by Landlord. In the event Landlord fails to complete the restoration within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the casualty or such longer period as is reasonably necessary for Landlord to complete the repair using reasonable diligence, Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice of such termination, whereupon this Lease shall terminate. If the Premises or any other portion of the Building be damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the fault or negligence of Tenant or any of Tenant’s agents, employees or invitees, Tenant shall not have the termination right set forth in the preceding sentience, the rent hereunder shall not be diminished during the repair of such damage.

ARTICLE 10
CONDEMNATION

If the whole or any part of the Premises shall be taken for public or quasi-public use by a governmental or other authority having the power of eminent domain or shall be conveyed to such authority in lieu of such taking, and if such taking or conveyance shall cause the remaining part of the Premises to be untenantable and inadequate for use by Tenant for the purpose for which they were leased, then Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease; provided, however, that such termination shall be ineffective if Landlord elects to relocate Tenant in accordance with Section 1.03 hereof, and notice of such election is delivered to Tenant within thirty (30) days’ after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s termination notice. If a part of the Premises shall be taken or conveyed but the remaining part is tenantable and adequate for Tenant’s use, then, subject to Landlord’s relocation right set forth in Section 1.03, this Lease shall be terminated as to the part taken or conveyed as of the date Tenant surrenders possession. In such event, Landlord shall make such repairs, alterations and improvements as may be necessary to render the part not taken or conveyed tenantable; and the rent shall be reduced in proportion to the part of the Premises so taken or conveyed. Landlord may relocate Tenant in accordance with Section 1.03 either permanently or temporarily in order to accommodate restoration work performed by Landlord. All compensation awarded for such taking or conveyance shall be the property of Landlord without any deduction therefrom for any present or future estate of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right, title and interest in and to any such award.

ARTICLE 11
ASSIGNMENT; SUBLETTING

Tenant may not assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion; and any attempted assignment or subletting without such consent shall be invalid. Any sale, transfer or conveyance of a majority ownership interest in Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease for which Landlord’s prior written consent shall be required pursuant to this Article 11. At least thirty (30) days prior to the proposed effective date of such assignment or sublease, Tenant shall provide Landlord a signed original of the assignment or sublease document. Tenant shall also provide, at Landlord’s request, any information on the proposed assignee or subtenant that Landlord may require to make a determination of the quality of such proposed assignee or subtenant. In the event of a permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall nevertheless at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of rent and the performance and observance of all of Tenant’s other obligations under the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease except as may be otherwise provided for herein. No assignment or subletting of the Premises or any part thereof shall be binding upon Landlord unless such assignee or subtenant shall deliver to Landlord an instrument (in recordable form, if requested) containing an agreement of assumption of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, if all or any part of the Premises are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided by this Lease or by law, may, at its option, collect directly from the assignee or subtenant all rent becoming due to Landlord by reason of the assignment or subletting. Any collection by Landlord from the assignee or subtenant shall not be construed to constitute a waiver or release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations under this Lease or the making of a new lease with such assignee or subtenant.

ARTICLE 12
TRANSFERS BY LANDLORD

Section 12.01. Sale and Conveyance of the Building. Landlord shall have the right to sell and convey the Campus and the Building at any time during the Lease Term, subject only to the rights of Tenant hereunder; and such sale and conveyance shall operate to release Landlord from liability hereunder after the date of such conveyance.

Section 12.02. Subordination. Landlord shall have the right to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage presently existing or hereafter placed upon the Building and/or the Campus by so declaring in such mortgage, and the recording of any such mortgage shall make it prior and superior to this Lease regardless of the date of execution or recording of either document; provided that, following Tenant’s request, Landlord shall cause the holder of such mortgage or trustee to execute and deliver to Tenant for its execution a subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement which provides, among other things, that so long as no default has occurred and is continuing beyond the period of time allowed for the remedy thereof under the terms of this Lease, the holder of the mortgage shall not disturb Tenant’s leasehold interest or possession of the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof. Within ten (10) days of Landlord’s delivery thereof to Tenant, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord, without cost, the subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreement in such form as reasonably may be deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord or its mortgagee to confirm the subordination of this Lease. Within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written request therefor, Tenant also shall deliver to Landlord an Estoppel Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage, attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure and recognize such purchaser as the landlord under this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to provide an estoppel certificate to Tenant.

ARTICLE 13
LANDLORD’S LIEN; WAIVER OF LIEN

Section 13.01. Lien. To secure the payment of all Rent due and to become due hereunder, and the faithful performance of all of the other covenants of this Lease required by Tenant to be performed, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord an express contractual lien on, and security interest in and to, all property, chattels or merchandise owned by Tenant which may be placed in the Lease Premises (except such part of such property as may be exchanged, replaced or sold from time to time in the ordinary course of Tenant’s operations), and all proceeds therefrom, and also upon all proceeds of any insurance which may accrue to Tenant by reason of damage to or destruction of any such property. All exemption laws are hereby waived by Tenant. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to any other remedies provided herein, enter upon the Premises and take possession of any and all such goods, wares, equipment, fixtures, furniture, improvements and other personal property owned by Tenant and situated on the Premises, without liability for trespass or conversion and sell the same at public or private sale, with or without having such property at the sale, after giving Tenant reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale is to be made, at which sale Landlord or its assigns may purchase the same unless otherwise prohibited by law. Unless otherwise provided by law, and without intending to exclude any other manner given or otherwise required by law, the Tenant shall pay any deficiency forthwith. Upon request by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord a financing statement in form sufficient to perfect the security interest of Landlord in the aforementioned property and proceeds thereof under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code in force in the State of Alabama.

Section 13.02. Waiver of Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the holder of a security interest or other similar interest or lender to Tenant, or other security holder so requests, Landlord shall execute a waiver of any statutory and the contractual landlord’s lien set forth above in Section 13.01 as to any personal property owned or purchased by Tenant or Tenant’s permitted assignees or subtenants and not permanently affixed to the Premises. In the event Tenant or Tenant’s permitted assignees or subtenants shall enter into a bona fide lease agreement with any lessor whereby such lessor shall lease to Tenant or Tenant’s permitted assignees or subtenants any tangible personal property to be placed upon or used upon the Premises, or Tenant or Tenant’s permitted assignees or subtenants finances any equipment before or after placement on the Premises, and if such lessor or financing institution requests, Landlord shall execute a waiver of its statutory and contractual landlord’s lien with respect to each such tangible personal property, furniture, fixtures, or equipment, such waiver to provide that with respect to any such tangible personal property for which a waiver is issued, the party removing such tangible personal property (if removable) must repair and restore the Building or other improvements to its original state.

ARTICLE 14
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; REMEDIES

Section 14.01. Defaults by Tenant. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” under and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

A. Tenant shall fail to pay any monthly installment of Rent within ten (10) days of when due; or Tenant shall fail to pay any other amounts due Landlord from Tenant as additional rent or otherwise within ten (10) days after Landlord’s delivery of written notice to Tenant that such payment is due or past due.

B. Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed or observed by it under this Lease (other than those referenced in subsection 14.01(A) hereof) for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord.

C. Tenant shall vacate, abandon or fail to occupy the Premises or any substantial portion thereof for a period of not less than thirty (30) consecutive days following the Commencement Date.

D. Tenant shall interfere with any other tenant’s use of such tenant’s leased premises or the Common Areas of the Building.

E. A trustee or receiver shall be appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets in, on or about the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (and Tenant does not regain possession within sixty (60) days after such appointment); Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or substantially all of Tenant’s assets in, on or about the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be attached or levied under execution (and Tenant does not discharge the same within sixty (60) days thereafter).

F. A petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, or for reorganization or arrangement shall be filed by or against Tenant pursuant to any federal or state statute (and, with respect to any such petition filed against it, Tenant fails to secure a stay or discharge thereof within sixty (60) days after the filing of the same).

Section 14.02. Remedies of Landlord. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in Section 14.01, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those allowed by law, any one or more of which may be exercised at Landlord’s option without further notice to or demand upon Tenant:

A. Landlord may re-enter the Premises and cure any Event of Default of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for any costs and expenses that Landlord may incur to cure such default; and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage that Tenant may sustain by reason of Landlord’s action unless caused by reckless or willful misconduct on the part of Landlord.

B. Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date of such Event of Default, in which event: (i) neither Tenant nor any person claiming under or through Tenant shall thereafter be entitled to possession of the Premises, and Tenant shall immediately thereafter surrender the Premises to Landlord; (ii) Landlord may re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant or any other occupants of the Premises by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may remove their effects, without prejudice to any other remedy that Landlord may have for possession or arrearages in rent or other sums due hereunder; and (iii) notwithstanding the termination of this Lease, Landlord may declare all rent that would have been due under this Lease for the balance of the term to be immediately due and payable, whereupon Tenant shall be obligated to pay the same to Landlord, together with all loss or damage that Landlord may sustain by reason of such termination, it being expressly understood and agreed that the liabilities and remedies specified in this Subsection (B)(I) of Section 14.02 shall survive the termination of this Lease and that all amounts referred to herein shall not be discounted to present value.

C. Landlord may, without terminating this Lease, re-enter the Premises and re-let all or any part of the Premises for a term different from that which otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and for rent and on terms and conditions different from those contained herein, whereupon Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord as liquidated damages the difference between the rent provided for herein and that provided for in any lease covering a subsequent re-letting of the Premises, for the period that otherwise would have constituted the balance of the Lease Term, together with all of Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses for preparing the Premises for re-letting, including all repairs, tenant finish improvements, brokers’ and attorneys’ fees, and all loss or damage that Landlord may sustain by reason of such re-entry and re-letting. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages by reletting the Premises on commercially reason+nable terms; provided, however, that such shall not require Landlord to relet the Premises on the same terms and conditions as set forth herein.

D. Landlord may ▇▇▇ for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss resulting from the breach.

E. In the event that Tenant fails to pay within ten (10) days of the date due and payable any monthly rental installment of Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, to the fullest extent 16 permitted by applicable law, a late charge of four percent (4%) of the amount due and unpaid in order to compensate Landlord for the costs and expenses of administering, handling and processing late payments.

F. In the event Tenant fails to pay within thirty (30) days after the same is due and payable any monthly rental installment of Rent, or any other sum or charge required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent, such unpaid amount shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at the annual percentage rate of interest (the “Delinquency Interest Rate”) equal to three percentage points (3%) in excess of the “rime Rate” from time to time published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal, which rate as published on the last publication day in any month shall be deemed to be the appropriate reference rate for the entire next succeeding calendar month; provided, however, that in no event shall the Delinquency Interest Rate exceed the maximum contract rate of interest from time to time allowed to be charged under applicable law. Should The Wall Street Journal cease the publication of its Prime Rate, the Landlord shall have the right to designate a comparable reference rate.

Section 14.03. Default by Landlord and Remedies of Tenant. It shall be a default under and breach of this Lease by Landlord if it shall fail to perform or observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed or observed by it under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Tenant; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is of such nature that the same cannot reasonably be performed within such thirty (30) day period, such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Landlord commences such performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to complete the same. So long as the Premises remain suitable for Tenant’s proposed use, Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease as a result of any such default.

Section 14.04. Non-Waiver of Defaults. The failure or delay by either party hereto to exercise or enforce at any time any of the rights or remedies or other provisions of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor affect the validity of any part of this Lease or the right of either party thereafter to exercise or enforce each and every such right or remedy or other provision. No waiver of any default and/or breach of this Lease shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other default and/or breach. The receipt by Landlord of less than the full rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this Lease. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

Section 14.05. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event Tenant defaults in the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or obligations contained in this Lease and the Landlord employs attorneys to enforce all or any part of this Lease, collect any rent due or to become due or recover possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees to reimburse the Landlord for the attorneys’ fees incurred thereby once a default is determined to have occurred, whether by judgment or otherwise.
