Each Party, on their own behalf and on behalf of their principals, officers, directors, managers, shareholders, owners, members, partners, agents, representatives, subsidiaries, parent entities, assigns, heirs, successors, affiliated or associated entities of whatever kind, and any entity owned or controlled by a them, (hereinafter collectively the “Releasor”), generally release and forever discharge the other Party from any and all claims, liens, demands, and causes of action, of whatever kind or character, whether in law or in equity, that Releasor now has or may have in the future, whether known or unknown, based on any events that have occurred prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement, including but not limited to the claims which have been or could have been asserted arising out of or connected in any way with, the Lease; except claims for breach of this Agreement, which claims are expressly excluded from this release and shall survive and remain in effect after the date hereof.
3.Contingency. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is contingent upon the execution of an agreement by and between Landlord and University of Utah Research Foundation, a Utah non-profit corporation, or its affiliates or assigns (the “Replacement Tenant”) whereby Landlord will agree to lease and/or sell to the Replacement Tenant and the Replacement Tenant will agree to lease and/or buy from Landlord the Leased Premises. In the event Landlord and the Replacement Tenant fail to execute such an agreement or such agreement is no longer in effect on or before the date that is 180 days prior to the Termination Date, this Agreement shall be null and void.
4.December 2025 Payment. Simultaneously with, and in addition to, ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s payment to Landlord of December 2025 Rent, Tenant hereby agrees to pay Landlord prorated Rent (including Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent) for the fifteen (15) days from January 1, 2026 through January 15, 2026.
5. Surrender. On or before the Termination Date, Tenant shall (i) surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition and clean and decommission all interior surfaces and exposed piping, supply lines, waste lines, plumbing, and exhaust or other ductwork in or serving the laboratory and laboratory support areas of the Leased Premises, in each case that has carried, released or otherwise been exposed to hazardous materials during the term of the Lease and shall have prepared a report or caused a report to be prepared (an “Environmental Assessment”) addressed to Landlord by a reputable licensed environmental engineer or industrial hygienist (the “Environmental Inspector”) that is mutually designated by Tenant and Landlord, which report shall be based on the Environmental Inspector’s inspection of the Leased Premises and shall state, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, that (a) all hazardous materials, if any, existing prior to such decommissioning, have been removed in accordance with applicable laws, including from the interior surfaces of the Leased Premises (including floors, walls, shelves, cabinets, drawers, fume hoods, and counters) and exposed piping, supply lines, waste lines, plumbing, and exhaust or other ductwork in the laboratory and laboratory support areas of the Leased Premises; and (b) the Leased Premises may be reoccupied for office, research and development, and/or laboratory uses, demolished or renovated without incurring Special Costs or undertaking Special Procedures (as such terms are defined below) for disposal, investigation, assessment, cleaning or removal of hazardous materials and without giving notice required by applicable law in connection therewith. Further, for purposes of clauses (a) and (b), “Special Costs” or “Special Procedures” shall mean costs or procedures, as the case may be, that would not be incurred but for the nature of the hazardous materials as hazardous materials instead of non-hazardous materials. The report shall also include reasonable detail concerning the clean-up measures taken, the clean-up locations, the tests run and the analytic results; (ii) remove all personal property and trade fixtures, and (iii) return to Landlord all pass keys, entry keys and other items used to access or operate the Leased Premises (the “Surrender Conditions”). No later than 120 days prior to the Termination Date, representatives of Landlord and Tenant shall walk through the Leased Premises for purposes of Landlord evaluating whether the Surrender Conditions have been satisfied and Landlord shall promptly provide notice to Tenant of any unsatisfied Surrender Conditions. Subject to the foregoing, if ▇▇▇▇▇▇ fails to surrender the Leased Premises on or before the Termination Date, such failure shall constitute a hold over subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease and Landlord shall have the rights and remedies available to Landlord under the Lease.
6. Default. If either Party fails to perform any obligation required of it under this Agreement (except for the failure to perform the obligations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2, which failure shall be governed by the Lease and subject to any applicable cure periods therein), such failure shall be deemed an incurable default under the Lease and the Lease may be immediately terminated by the non-breaching Party without need for additional notice or grace period or any other action by the Parties and, without limiting any rights or remedies available to each Party under this Agreement, at law or in equity, the non-defaulting Party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available to it under the Lease. The defaulting Party shall indemnify the non-defaulting Party for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by the non-defaulting Party as a direct result of any breach of this Agreement or any loan secured by the Leased Premises, by the defaulting Party.
7. Status of Lease. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that as of the date of Tenant’s execution of this Agreement Landlord is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under the Lease and Tenant is unaware of any condition or circumstance which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default by Landlord.
