2. Delivery; Acceptance of Premises; Commencement Date. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Commencement Date, with Landlord’s Work Tl Substantially Completed so that Tenant can occupy the Premises for the Permitted Use (“Delivery” or “Deliver”) and with (x) all base Building mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems in good operating condition and repair, and (y) free and clear of all tenants and occupants. If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Landlord fails to Deliver the Premises to Tenant (i) on or before December 1, 2018 (as such date may be extended for Tenant Delays and Force Majeure delays) (“Initial Abatement Date”), Base Rent shall be abated 1 day for each day after the Initial Abatement Date (as such date may be extended for Tenant Delays and Force Majeure delays) that Landlord fails to Deliver the Premises to Tenant, and (ii) on or before the date that is January 1, 2019 (as such date may be extended for Tenant Delays and Force Majeure delays) (“Second Abatement Date”), Base Rent shall be abated 2 days for each day after the Second Abatement Date (as such date may be extended for Tenant Delays and Force Majeure delays) that Landlord fails to Deliver the Premises to Tenant.

entitled under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant; and (b) 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. As used herein, the terms “Landlord’s Work,” “Tenant Delays” and “Tl Substantially Completed” shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Work Letter. “Force Majeure” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 34 of this Lease. If Tenant does not elect to terminate this Lease within 5 business days after the Outside Date, such right to terminate this Lease shall be waived and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant shall not be entitled to any additional abatement of Base Rent for any period after Outside Date.
The “Commencement Date” shall be the earlier of: (i) the date Landlord Delivers the Premises to Tenant; or (ii) the date Landlord could have Delivered the Premises but for Tenant Delays. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the Commencement Date and the expiration date of the Term when such are established in the form of the “Acknowledgement of Commencement Date” attached to this Lease as Exhibit D; provided, however. Tenant’s failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect Landlord’s rights hereunder. The “Term” of this Lease shall be the Base Term, as defined above in the Basic Lease Provisions and the Extension Term which Tenant may elect pursuant to Section 40 hereof.
Except as set forth in the Work Letter, if applicable: (i) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 7 hereof); (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation for any defects in the Premises, except as expressly provided in the Work Letter; and (iii) Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken. Any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant before the Commencement Date shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, excluding the obligation to pay Base Rent if such access is pursuant to Section 6 of the Work Letter and not for the conduct of Tenant’s business.
Tenant agrees and acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of all or any portion of the Premises, the Building or the Project, and/or the suitability of the Premises, the Building or the Project for the conduct of Tenant’s business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises, the Building or the Project are suitable for Tenant’s use of the Premises for the Permitted Use. Landlord covenants to deliver Landlord’s Work in the Premises in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements in effect on the date of Delivery. Landlord represents and warrants that the person signing this Lease on behalf of Landlord is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Landlord as a legally binding contract of Landlord. Tenant represents and warrants that the person signing this Lease on behalf of Tenant is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of Tenant as a legally binding contract of Tenant. This Lease constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior representations, inducements, promises, agreements, understandings and negotiations which are not contained herein. Landlord in executing this Lease does so in reliance upon Tenant’s representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements contained herein.
3. Rent.
(a) Base Rent. The Security Deposit shall be due and payable on delivery of an executed copy of this Lease to Landlord. The first full calendar month’s Base Rent shall be due on July 1, 2018.

Date occurs, shall be applied by Landlord to such first full calendar month after the Commencement Date and Tenant shall pay the remainder of the first full calendar month’s rent to Landlord on or before the first day of such first full calendar month. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent and any other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to ▇▇▇▇▇, reduce, or set-off any Rent (as defined in Section 5) due hereunder except for any abatement as may be expressly provided in this Lease.
(b) Additional Rent. In addition to Base Rent, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent (“Additional Rent”): (i) Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 5). and (ii) any and all other amounts Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, any and all other sums that may become due by reason of any default of Tenant or failure to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, after any applicable notice and cure period.
4. Base Rent Adjustments.
(a) Annual Adjustment. Base Rent shall be increased on each annual anniversary of the first day of the first full month during the Term of this Lease (each an “Adjustment Date”) by multiplying the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date by the Rent Adjustment Percentage and adding the resulting amount to the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date. Base Rent, as so adjusted, shall thereafter be due as provided herein. Base Rent adjustments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
(b) Additional Tl Allowance. in addition to the Tenant Improvement Allowance (as defined in the Work Letter), Landlord shall, subject to the terms of the Work Letter, make available to Tenant the Additional Tl Allowance (as defined in the Work Letter). Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter on the first day of each month during the Base Term, Tenant shall pay the amount necessary to fully amortize the portion of the Additional Tl Allowance actually funded by Landlord, if any, in equal monthly payments with annual interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum over the Base Term, which interest shall begin to accrue on the date that Landlord first disburses such Additional Tl Allowance or any portion(s) thereof (“Tl Rent”). Any of the Additional Tl Allowance and applicable interest remaining unpaid as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease shall be paid to Landlord in a lump sum at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant, at Tenant’s option, may prepay the Tl Rent in full at any time without penalty.
5. Operating Expense Payments. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written good faith estimate of Operating Expenses for each calendar year during the Term on or before the date that is 30 days prior to the first day of each calendar year (the “Annual Estimate”), which may be revised by Landlord from time to time during such calendar year. Commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter on the first day of each month during the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of Tenant’s Share of the Annual Estimate. Payments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
The term “Operating Expenses” means all costs and expenses of any kind or description whatsoever incurred or accrued each calendar year by Landlord in accordance with Landlord’s (and Landlord’s affiliates) sound real estate accounting practices with respect to the Building and Property (including, without duplication, the Building’s Share of Project with respect to ail costs and expenses of any kind or description incurred or accrued by Landlord with respect to the Project which are not specific to the Building or Property or any other building or property located in the Project) including, without duplication or limitation, (w) Taxes (as defined in Section 9). (x) capital repairs, replacements and improvements amortized over the lesser of 10 years or the useful life of such capital items (except for capital repairs, replacements and improvements to the roof, which shall be amortized over 15 years), adjusted to reflect Building operations 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and 365 days per year (provided that those Operating Expenses incurred or accrued by Landlord with respect to any capital repairs, replacements or improvements which are for the intended purpose of promoting sustainability (for example, without limitation, by reducing energy usage at the Project) (a “Capital Sustainability

If Tenant’s Share of
***Confidential Treatment Requested***
***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
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 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 or credit the excess amount to the next succeeding installments of estimated Operating Expenses, 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 or credit the excess to Tenant after deducting all other amounts due Landlord.
The Annual Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant unless Tenant, within 120 days 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 120 day 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 (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 an independent regionally recognized public accounting firm selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), 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”). 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 5% then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket 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 that vary with the level of occupancy of the Building shall be computed as though the Building had been 95% occupied on average during such year.
“Tenant’s Share” shall be the percentage set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions as Tenant’s Share, and “Building’s Share of Project” shall be the percentage set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions as the Building’s Share of Project, each as may be reasonably adjusted by for changes in the physical size of the Premises, Building, Property or Project occurring thereafter. Landlord may cause, on or before the Commencement Date the rentable square footage of the Premises and/or the Building to be re-measured by R.E. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, based upon the Tl Construction Drawings (as defined in the Work Letter), 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. If the actual rentable square footage of the Premises or the Building deviates from the amount specified in the definitions of “Premises,” “Rentable Area of Premises” and “Rentable Area of Building” on page 1 of this Lease, then, promptly following such measurement, this Lease shall be amended so as to (i) reflect the actual rentable square footage thereof in the definitions of “Rentable Area of Premises,” “Rentable Area of Building” and “Rentable Area of Project”, and (ii) appropriately adjust the amounts set forth in the definitions of “Tenant’s Share” and “Building’s Share of Project” which were calculated based on the estimated rentable square footage of the Premises, the Building and the Project set forth in the Basis Lease Provisions and the Premises shall not be subject to further re-measurement.

Landlord may equitably increase Tenant’s Share 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 Building, Property or Project that includes the Premises or that varies with occupancy or use. Landlord may equitably increase the Building’s Share of Project for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Building or only a portion of the Property or Project that includes the Building or that varies with occupancy or use of the Building. Base Rent, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder are collectively referred to herein as “Rent.”
6. 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, which Security Deposit shall be in the form of an unconditional, irrevocable and transferable 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 satisfactory to Landlord, and (v) redeemable by presentation of a sight draft in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the State of California. If Tenant does not provide Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit complying with all of the requirements hereof 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, future rent damages 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 use of all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay Landlord within 5 business days of demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to the amount set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any law, now or hereafter in force, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of Rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant. 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 is not then in default under this Lease, 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.
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.

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 notice of such failure. If Tenant fails to commence cure of such failure within 10 days of Landlord’s notice, and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, Landlord may perform such work and shall be reimbursed by Tenant within 10 days after demand therefor; provided, however, that if such failure by Tenant creates or could reasonably be expected to 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 Tenant or any Tenant Party and any repair that benefits only the Premises.
15. Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant shall discharge, by bond or otherwise, any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or against the Building, Property or 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 is delivered to Tenant of the filing thereof, at Tenant’s sole cost and shall otherwise keep the Premises and

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
the Building, Property and 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 Building, Property or Project and the cost thereof shall be immediately due from Tenant as Additional Rent within 5 days of demand therefor. 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 Building or 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. Subject to the penultimate paragraph of Section 17, Tenant hereby indemnifies, and agrees to defend, save and hold Landlord and Landlord’s members, shareholders, partners, officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, contractors, constituent entities, lease signators, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all Claims for injury or death to persons or damage to property occurring within or about the Premises, Building or Project, arising directly or indirectly out of: (a) the conduct of Tenant’s business or the use or occupancy of the Premises, Building or Project by Tenant or any Tenant Party (including without limitation any act, omission or neglect by Tenant or any Tenant Party), except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or negligence of Landlord, or (b) a breach or default by Tenant in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder. 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 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 tenant in the Project or of any other third party.
17. Insurance. Landlord shall maintain all risk property and, if applicable, sprinkler damage insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Building. 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 Building and Property may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Building and Property 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.
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain during the Term: ail 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; and commercial general liability insurance, with a minimum limit of not less than $4,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Premises (which coverage amount may be satisfied through 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). The commercial general liability insurance policy shall name

Landlord, its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees, contractors, constituent entities and lease signators (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) and Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., as additional insureds. The commercial general liability policy of Tenant 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 at least 10 days prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord; contain a hostile fire endorsement and a contractual liability endorsement; and provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant’s policies). Certificates of insurance showing the limits of coverage required hereunder and showing each of Landlord, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and the Landlord Parties designated by 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, at least 5 days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewal certificates.
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 Building, Property or Project or any portion thereof and any servicer in connection therewith, (ii) the landlord under any lease wherein Landlord is tenant of the real property on which the Building, Property or 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.
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. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, neither party nor its respective Related Parties shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk insured against (or required to be insured against pursuant to this Lease) 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. Without limiting the foregoing, such waiver shall apply to the obligations of Tenant to indemnify, hold harmless and defend under Section 16 with respect to losses insured against (or required to be insured against) by property insurance required to be maintained hereunder. 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, Building, Property or 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.
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.
18. Restoration. If, at any time during the Term, the Building 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 Building or the Premises, as applicable (the “Restoration Period”). If the Restoration Period is estimated to exceed 12 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 5 business days of receipt of a notice
***Confidential Treatment Requested***
***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
from Landlord estimating a Restoration Period for the Premises longer than the Maximum Restoration Period. Unless 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 except to the extent to which Landlord receives insurance proceeds for the restoration of improvements from the insurance required to be maintained under Section 17), in which case such improvements shall be included as part of 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 either of which events 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, following the date that Landlord makes the Premises available to Tenant for Tenant’s repairs or restoration, 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 Materials Clearances, all Alterations and other improvements installed by Tenant or by Landlord and paid for by Tenant (except to the extent covered by insurance required to be maintained by Landlord pursuant to Section 17, in which case such Improvements shall be included as part of Landlord’s restoration, subject to the terms of this Section 18). Promptly upon the substantial completion of such Alterations and other improvements, Tenant shall reenter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last year of the Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than 2 months to repair such damage; provided, however, that such notice is delivered within 10 business days after the date that Landlord delivers notice to Tenant of the estimated Restoration Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if insurance proceeds are not available for such restoration, provided that such unavailability of insurance proceeds is not the result of Landlord’s failure to maintain the insurance policies required to be maintained by Landlord under Section 17. Rent shall be abated from the date all required Hazardous Materials 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. In the event that no Hazardous Materials Clearances are required to be obtained with respect to such fire or other casualty, the rent abatement shall commence as of the date of discovery of the damage or destruction. 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 Building, Property or 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 Building, Property or 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, Building or Property 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 in Landlord’s reasonable judgment materially interfere with or impair Landlord’s ownership or operation of the Building or Property, or would in the reasonable judgment of Landlord and Tenant either prevent or materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises (as resolved, if the parties are unable to agree, by arbitration by a single arbitrator with the qualifications and experience appropriate to resolve the matter and appointed pursuant to and acting in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association), then upon written notice by Landlord or Tenant to the other this Lease shall terminate and Rent shall be apportioned as of said date. If part of the Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises and the Building and Property 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, the Building’s Share of Project 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, Building, Property or Project.
20. Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be a material default (“Default”) by Tenant under this Lease:
(a) Payment Defaults. Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Rent or any other payment hereunder when due; provided, however, that Landlord will give Tenant notice and an opportunity to cure any failure to pay Rent within 5 business days of any such notice not more than twice in any 12 month period and Tenant agrees that such notice shall be in lieu of and not in addition to, or shall be deemed to be, any notice required by law.
(b) Insurance. Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be canceled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, or Landlord shall receive a notice of nonrenewal of any such insurance and Tenant shall fail to obtain replacement insurance before the expiration of the current coverage.
(c) Abandonment. Tenant shall abandon the Premises, provided that Tenant shall not be deemed to have abandoned the Premises if (i) Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable advance notice prior to vacating and, at the time of vacating the Premises, Tenant has completed Tenant’s obligations with respect to the Surrender Plan in compliance with Section 28, (ii) Tenant has made reasonable arrangements with Landlord for the security of the Premises for the balance of the Term, and (iii) Tenant continues during the balance of the Term to satisfy all of its obligations under the Lease as they come due.
(d) Improper Transfer. Tenant shall assign, sublease or otherwise transfer or attempt to transfer all or any portion of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises except as expressly permitted herein, or Tenant’s interest in this Lease shall be attached, executed upon, or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within 90 days of the action.
(e) Liens. Tenant shall fail to discharge or otherwise obtain the release of any lien placed upon the Premises in violation of this Lease within the time period required pursuant to Section 15 of this Lease.

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
(f) Insolvency Events. Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall: (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a “Proceeding for Relief”); (C) become the subject of any Proceeding for Relief which is not dismissed within 90 days of its filing or entry; or (D) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant, guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity).
(g) Estoppel Certificate or Subordination Agreement. Tenant fails to execute any document required from Tenant under Sections 23 or 27 within 5 days after a second notice requesting such document.
(h) Other Defaults. Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Section 20, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such failure shall continue for a period of 30 days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.
Any notice given under Section 20(h) hereof shall: (i) specify the alleged default, (ii) demand that Tenant cure such default, (iii) be in lieu of, and not in addition to, or shall be deemed to be, 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 12% per annum 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 of 6% of the overdue Rent as a late charge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before assessing a late charge the first time in any calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice of the delinquency and will waive the right if Tenant pays such delinquency within 5 days thereafter. 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.
(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 (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 21fc)(v) with respect to Landlord’s Lump Sum Election). No cure
***Confidential Treatment Requested***

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
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 rights 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, subject to Section 21(c)(ii) 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.
(ii) Landlord shall be deemed to have satisfied any obligation to mitigate its damages by hiring an experienced commercial real estate broker to market the Premises and directing such broker to advertise and show the Premises to prospective tenants.
(iii) 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 free of any rights of Tenant, 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.
(iv) If this Lease is terminated or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as aforesaid, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re-entry, by or under any proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of a Default by Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees forthwith to pay and be liable for, on the days originally fixed in this Lease for the payment thereof, amounts equal to the installments of Base Rent and all Additional Rent as they would, under the terms of this Lease become due if this Lease had not been terminated or if Landlord had not entered or re-entered, as aforesaid, and whether the Premises be relet or remain vacant, in whole or in part, or for a period less than the remainder of the Term, or for the whole thereof, but in the event that the Premises be relet by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the net amount of rent and other charges received by Landlord in reletting, after deduction of all of Landlord’s expenses incurred in reletting the Premises (including, without limitation, tenant improvement, demising and remodeling costs, brokerage fees and the like), and in collecting the rent in connection therewith, in the following manner: Amounts received by Landlord after reletting, if any, shall first be applied against such Landlord’s expenses, until the same are recovered, and until such recovery, Tenant shall pay, as of each day
***Confidential Treatment Requested***
***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
when a payment would fall due under this Lease, the amount which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease (Tenant’s liability prior to any such reletting and such recovery by Landlord no in any way to be diminished as a result of the fact that such reletting might be for a rent higher than the rent provided for in this Lease); when and if such expenses have been completely recovered by Landlord, the amounts received from reletting by Landlord as have not previously been applied shall be credited against Tenant’s obligations as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, and only the net amount thereof shall be payable by Tenant. Further, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit of any kind for any period after the date when the Term of this Lease is scheduled to expire according to its terms.
Actions, proceedings or suits for the recovery of damages, whether liquidated or other damages, under this Lease, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the Term of this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated hereunder. In addition to other rights, remedies and damages provided in this Lease or at law or in equity, at any time and from time to time following the occurrence of a Default, whether or not this Lease is terminated as aforesaid, Landlord shall be entitled to recover all Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts payable to Tenant under this Lease then due or accrued and unpaid.
(v) In addition, Landlord, at its election, notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, by written notice to Tenant (the “Lump Sum Election”), shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, as and for liquidated damages, at any time following any termination of this Lease, a lump sum payment representing, at the time of Landlord’s written notice of its Lump Sum Election, the sum of:
(A) the then present value (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice using as the discount rate the yield to maturity on United States Treasury Notes as set forth below) of the amount of unpaid Base Rent and Additional Rent that would have been payable pursuant to this Lease for the remainder of the Term following Landlord’s Lump Sum Election if this Lease had not been terminated, and
(B) all other damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), if any, which Landlord shall have sustained by reason of the breach of any provision of this Lease; less
(C) the then present value (calculated in accordance with accepted financial practice using as the discount rate the yield to maturity on United States Treasury Notes as set forth below) of the aggregate net fair market rent plus additional charges payable for the Premises for the remainder of the Term following Landlord’s Lump Sum Election, calculated as of the date of Landlord’s Lump Sum Election, and taking into account reasonable estimates of the future costs to relet any then vacant portions of the Premises (except to the extent that Tenant has actually paid such costs pursuant to this Section 21) in order to calculate the net rental revenue that Landlord may expect to obtain for the Premises for the balance of the Term (it being understood that the subtraction of the amounts determined in this paragraph (C) from the then present value of Base Rent and Additional Rent that would have been payable pursuant to this Lease for the remainder of the Term as determined in paragraph (A) shall not be deemed to result in an amount less than zero).
Landlord’s recovery under its Lump Sum Election shall be in addition to Tenant’s obligations to pay, and Landlord’s right to recover from Tenant, all Base Rent and Additional Rent due and costs incurred prior to the date of Landlord’s Lump Sum

Election, and shall be in lieu of any Base Rent and Additional Rent which would otherwise have been due under this Section from and after the date of Landlord’s Lump Sum Election. The yield to maturity on United States Treasury Notes having a maturity date that is nearest the date that would have been the last day of the Term of the Lease, as reported in The Wall Street Journal or a comparable publication if it ceases to publish such yields, shall be used in calculating present values for purposes of Landlord’s Lump Sum Election. For the purposes of this Section, if Landlord makes the Lump Sum Election to recover liquidated damages in accordance with this Section, the total Additional Rent shall be computed based upon Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and other Additional Rent for each 12-month period in what would have been the remainder of the Term of the Lease and any part thereof at the end of such remainder of the Term, but in no event less than the amounts therefor payable for the twelve (12) calendar months (or if less than twelve (12) calendar months have elapsed since the date hereof, the partial year) immediately preceding the date of Landlord’s Lump Sum Election. Amounts of Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and any other Additional Rent for any partial year at the beginning of the Term or at the end of what would have been the remainder of the Term shall be prorated.
(vi) 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.
(vii) Nothing in this Section 21 shall be deemed to affect the right of either party to indemnifications pursuant to this Lease.
(viii) 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.
(ix) 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 reasonable, out of pocket fees, costs and other expenses which may become payable as a result thereof or in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
(x) 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 with only such notice, if any, as may be practicable under the circumstances in the case of an emergency or in case such default will result in a violation of any legal or insurance requirements, or in the imposition of any lien against all or any portion of the Premises or the Project not discharged, released or bonded over to Landlord’s satisfaction by Tenant within the time period required pursuant to Section 15 of this Lease, and (b) in any other case if such default continues after any applicable notice and cure period provided in Section 20. 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 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.
(xi) 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, to the extent provided in Section 30(c).
(xii) In addition to any other right or remedy hereunder, upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord shall have the right to suspend funding of any Tl Allowance or the performance of Landlord’s Work (and such suspension shall constitute a Tenant Delay).
(xiii) 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 15 days of demand for any out of pocket 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 reasonable 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, reasonable 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, 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.
(xiv) 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 expressly waiving such provision. 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. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Lease, Tenant shall not be liable to Landlord for any indirect, special or consequential damages, arising from a default by Tenant under this Lease; provided that this sentence shall not apply to Landlord’s damages (x) as expressly provided for in Section 8, and/or (y) in connection with Tenant’s obligations as more fully set forth in Section 30.
22. Assignment and Subletting.
(a) General Prohibition. Without Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, 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 in this Section 22. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to (x) obtain financing from institutional or

individual investors (including venture capital funding and corporate partners) which regularly invest in private biotechnology companies, (y) undergo a public offering, or (z) if Tenant is a public company, transfer shares of Tenant effected through any recognized exchange or through the “over the counter” market, any of which results in a change in control of Tenant without such change of control constituting an assignment under this Section 22 requiring Landlord consent, provided that (i) Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of the financing at least 5 business days prior to the closing of the financing, and (ii) provided that in no event shall such financing result in a change in use of the Premises from the use contemplated by Tenant at the commencement of the Term.
The reasons for Landlord’s reasonable withholding of consent shall include but not be limited to: (A) the business or financial reputation of the proposed assignee or sublessee, or the business or financial reputation of any of the respective principals or officers thereof, is objectionable in Landlord’s judgment, (B) the proposed assignee or sublessee is engaged in areas of scientific research or other business concerns that are controversial such that in Landlord’s reasonable judgment they may (i) attract or cause negative publicity for or about the Building or the Project, (ii) negatively affect the reputation of the Building, the Project or Landlord, (iii) attract protestors to the Building or the Project, or (iv) lessen the attractiveness of the Building or the Project to any prospective purchasers or lenders, (C) the proposed use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee will violate any applicable Legal Requirement, (D) the proposed assignee or sublessee is at that time an occupant of the Project or negotiating with Landlord or an affiliate thereof for the lease of other space in the Project, (E) if the proposed transaction is not a sublease, the proposed assignee does not have a net worth, as of the date of the Transfer, at least equal to the greater of (x) the net worth of Tenant as of the date of the Lease, and (y) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the Transfer Date, or otherwise lacks the creditworthiness to support the financial obligations it would incur under the proposed assignment in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, (F) if the proposed transaction is a sublease, the proposed sublessee does not have a creditworthiness, as of the date of transfer, sufficient to support the financial obligations it would incur under the proposed sublease in Landlord’s judgment, (G) the proposed assignee or sublessee is a governmental agency, (H) in Landlord’s judgment the use of the Premises by the proposed assignee or sublessee would entail any alterations that would lessen the value of the leasehold improvements in the Premises, or would require increased services by Landlord, (I) Landlord has experienced previous defaults by or is in litigation with the proposed assignee or sublessee, (J) the proposed assignment or sublease will create a vacancy elsewhere in the Project, or (K) the assignment or sublease is prohibited by the Holder of a Mortgage on the Premises or Project.
(b) Permitted Transfers. If Tenant desires to assign, sublease, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease or sublet the Premises, other than pursuant to Permitted Assignment (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, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 22 (provided that Landlord shall further 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) if the proposed transaction is a sublease that is not a Permitted Assignment (as defined below) and the subletting concerns (together with all other then effective subleases) 50% or more of the Premises, terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in the Assignment Notice as of the Assignment Date (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

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
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. 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 pay to Landlord a fee equal to Two Thousand Dollars ($2,000) in connection with its consideration of any Assignment Notice and/or its preparation or review of any consent documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease or sublease the Premises under this Lease, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Landlord and without Landlord’s prior written consent, to an entity controlling or controlled by Tenant (a “Permitted Affiliate Assignment”); provided, however, that (y) such assignment or subletting is for a bona fide business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the lease, and (z) Landlord shall have the right to approve the form of any such sublease or assignment prior to its execution. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease, upon 30 days prior written notice to Landlord but without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent and without such assignment being subject to an Assignment Termination, 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) such merger or consolidation, or such acquisition or assumption, as the case may be, is for a bona fide business purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring the Lease, and (ii) the net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of the assignee 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 delivered under Section 40(c) below or filed with the SEC under applicable securities laws, and (iii) such assignee shall agree in writing to assume all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease (a “Permitted Successor Assignment”). A Permitted Affiliate Assignment and Permitted Successor Assignment may each be referred to herein as a “Permitted Assignment”. For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord shall not have the right to exercise an Assignment Termination with respect to any 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

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
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 and any guarantor or surety of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease 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, advertising expenses, free rent or other reasonable concessions and any design or construction fees and tenant improvement costs directly related to and required pursuant to the terms of any such sublease) (“Excess Rent”), then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder 50% of such Excess Rent within 10 days following receipt thereof by Tenant. 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 and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord’s application, 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.
(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.
(f) Prior Conduct of Proposed Transferee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 22, if (i) the proposed assignee or sublessee of Tenant has been required by any prior landlord, lender or Governmental Authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property, where the contamination resulted from such party’s action or use of the property in question, (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is subject to an enforcement order issued by any Governmental Authority in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any Governmental Authority), or (iii) because of the existence of a pre-existing environmental condition in the vicinity of or underlying the Project, the risk that Landlord would be targeted as a responsible party in connection with the remediation of such pre-existing environmental condition would be materially increased or exacerbated by the proposed use of Hazardous Materials by such proposed assignee or sublessee, Landlord shall have the absolute right to refuse to consent to any assignment or subletting to any such party.
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 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, to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, 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 reasonably 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. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within such time shall, at the option of Landlord, be conclusive upon Tenant that the Lease is in full force and effect and without modification except as may be represented by Landlord in any certificate prepared by Landlord and delivered to Tenant for execution.

24. Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant is not 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 (notice of which has been delivered to Tenant) at any time or from time to time established by Landlord covering use of the Premises and the Project or portion thereof of which the Premises are a part. The current rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit E. If there is any conflict between said rules and regulations and other provisions of this Lease, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not have any liability or obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project and shall not enforce such rules and regulations in a discriminatory manner.
27. Subordination.
(a) Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment. This Lease and Tenant’s interest and rights hereunder are hereby made and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any Mortgage now existing or 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 by the Holder of any such Mortgage. Tenant agrees, at the election of the Holder of any such Mortgage, to attorn to any such Holder. Tenant’s agreement to subordinate this Lease to any future deed of trust or mortgage pursuant to this Section 27 is conditioned upon Landlord delivering to Tenant from the Holder of any such mortgage or deed of trust a commercially reasonable non-disturbance and attornment agreement and Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of the same. Tenant agrees within 10 business days after demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such SNDA and such other instruments confirming such subordination, and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such Holder, provided any such instruments contain appropriate non-disturbance provisions assuring Tenant’s quiet enjoyment of the Premises as set forth in Section 24 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder may at any time subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recording and in that event such Holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such Mortgage and had been assigned to such Holder. The term “Mortgage” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments, ground leases or other superior leases and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the “Holder” of a Mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust. As of the date of this Lease, there is no existing Mortgage encumbering the Property.
(b) Other Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, subject to the provisions of this Section 27; (i) nothing in this Section 27 shall affect Tenant’s rights under Section 18, Section 19 of this Lease, including any termination, abatement or offset rights under such Sections (whether accruing prior to or after any attornment to such mortgagee), and (ii) 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 Holder (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 Holder shall be liable for failure to perform any of Landlord’s obligations (and such Holder 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
***Confidential Treatment Requested***

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
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 of the address of any 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:
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;
The Financing Party shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder (subject to this Section 27) 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
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. 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 Holder.
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 Landlord or its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents and contractors (collectively, “Tenant HazMat Operations”) and released of all Hazardous Materials Clearances, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear 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. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause Landlord’s environmental consultant to provide Tenant with comments to or approval of, as the case may be, the Surrender Plan within a reasonable time after Tenant delivers the Surrender Plan to Landlord. 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 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
***Confidential Treatment Requested***
***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission
Confidential Treatment Requested Under
17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
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, 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, which cost shall not exceed $5,000. 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 third parties; provided, however, that Landlord instructs such parties to treat the same as confidential. Tenant may redact Tenant’s proprietary and confidential information pertaining to Tenant’s HazMat Operations from the Surrender Plan.
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, 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 actual 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.
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall immediately return to Landlord all keys and/or access cards to parking, the Building, restrooms or all or any portion of the Premises, Building or Project furnished to or otherwise procured by Tenant. If any such access card or key is lost, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord’s election, either the cost of replacing such lost access card or key or the cost of reprogramming the access security system in which such access card was used or changing the lock or locks opened by such lost key. Any of Tenant’s personal property, Tenant’s Property listed on Exhibit F, Alterations and other property of Tenant 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. 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, Building, Property or 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 any holding over results in contamination of the Premises, Building, Property or Project or any adjacent property or if contamination of the Premises, Building, Property or 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 anyone other than Landlord and Landlord’s employees, agents and contractors otherwise occurs during the Term or any holding over, Tenant hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold Landlord, its officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors harmless from any and all actions (including, without limitation, remedial or enforcement actions of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising out of or resulting therefrom), costs, claims, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages and damages based upon diminution in value of the Premises or the Project, or the

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
loss of, or restriction on, use of the Premises or any portion of the Project), expenses (including, without limitation, 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 Tenant’s obligations stated in the preceding sentence or as a result of such contamination. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, 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. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Premises, Building, Property, Project or any adjacent property caused or permitted by Tenant or any Tenant Party results in any contamination of the Premises, Building, Property, 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, Building, Property, 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 so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises, Building, Property or the Project. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 28 or this Section 30. Tenant shall not be responsible for, and the indemnification and hold harmless obligations set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to (i) contamination in the Premises which Tenant can prove to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction existed in the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, (ii) the presence of any Hazardous Materials in the Premises which Tenant can prove to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction migrated from outside the Premises into the Premises, or (iii) contamination caused by Landlord or any Landlord’s employees, agents and contractors, unless in any case, the presence of such Hazardous Materials (x) is the result of a breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Lease, or (y) was caused, contributed to or exacerbated by Tenant or any Tenant Party.
(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 Commencement 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 at least once a year 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Hazardous Materials List shall not be required to include Hazardous Materials contained in products customarily used by tenants in de minimis quantities for ordinary cleaning and office purposes. 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 Commencement 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; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Building or Property (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion); 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 Building or Property for the closure of any such tanks; and a Surrender Plan (to the extent surrender in accordance with Section 28 cannot be accomplished in 3 months). Tenant is not required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the Haz Mat Documents containing information of a

proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities. It is not the intent of this Section to provide Landlord with information which could be detrimental to Tenant’s business should such information become possessed by Tenant’s competitors.
(c) Tenant Representation and Warranty. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) neither Tenant nor any of its legal predecessors has been required by any prior landlord, lender or Governmental Authority at any time to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property which contamination was permitted by Tenant of such predecessor or resulted from Tenant’s or such predecessor’s action or use of the property in question, and (ii) Tenant is not subject to any enforcement order issued by any Governmental Authority in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any Governmental Authority). If Landlord determines that this representation and warranty was not true as of the date of this lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion.
(d) Testing. Landlord shall have the right to conduct annual tests of the Premises to determine whether any contamination of the Premises, Building, Property or Project has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use. Tenant shall be required to pay the cost of such annual test of the Premises; provided, however, that if Tenant conducts its own tests of the Premises using third party contractors and test procedures acceptable to Landlord which tests are certified to Landlord, Landlord shall accept such tests in lieu of the annual tests to be paid for by Tenant. 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, Building, Property and 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 non-proprietary information concerning the use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party. If contamination has occurred for which Tenant is liable under this Section 30, Tenant shall pay all costs to conduct such tests. If no such contamination is found, Landlord shall pay the costs of such tests (which shall not constitute an Operating Expense). 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 for which Tenant is responsible under this Section 30 in accordance with all Environmental Requirements. Landlord’s receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights which Landlord may have against Tenant.
(e) Underground Tanks. If underground or other storage tanks storing Hazardous Materials located on the Premises, Building, Property or Project are used by Tenant or are hereafter placed on the Premises, Building, Property or 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.
(f) 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.

(g) 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, Building, Property or 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.
31. Tenant’s Remedies/Limitation of Liability. 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, or portion thereof of which the Premises are a part, 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.
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. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Premises stating that the Project is available for sale, or in the last 12 months of the Term, that the Premises are available to let. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenant’s business operations at the Premises in connection with its entry into the Premises under this Section 32. Landlord may grant and amend easements, make public dedications, designate Common Areas and create restrictions on or about the Premises, Building and Property, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation or restriction materially, adversely affects Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be necessary for such easements, dedications or restrictions. Tenant shall at all times, except in the case of emergencies, have the right to escort Landlord or its agents, representatives, contractors or guests while the same are in the Premises, provided such escort does not materially and adversely affect Landlord’s access rights hereunder. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to comply with Tenant’s reasonable security, confidentiality and

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
safety requirements with respect to entering restricted portions of the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant has notified Landlord of such security, confidentiality and safety requirements reasonably prior to Landlord’s entry into the Premises and provided further that in no event shall Tenant bar or prohibit access by Landlord and its employees, agents and contractors for the performance of the obligations of Landlord or the exercise of the rights of Landlord under this Lease.
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, Building, Property and/or Project. Tenant shall at Tenant’s cost obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts.
34. Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible or liable for delays in the performance of its obligations hereunder when caused by, related to, or arising out of acts of God, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disputes, embargoes, quarantines, weather, national, regional, or local disasters, calamities, or catastrophes, inability to obtain labor or materials (or reasonable substitutes therefor) at reasonable costs or failure of, or inability to obtain, utilities necessary for performance, governmental restrictions, orders, limitations, regulations, or controls, national emergencies, delay in issuance or revocation of permits, enemy or hostile governmental action, terrorism, insurrection, riots, civil disturbance or commotion, fire or other casualty, and other causes or events beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (“Force Majeure”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, in no event shall any payment obligations of Tenant be delayed, abated, excused or reduced by Force Majeure.
35. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker, agent or other person (collectively, “Broker”) in connection with this transaction and that no Broker brought about this transaction other than Newmark ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any claims by any Broker, other than Newmark ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, with regard to this leasing transaction. Pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and Newmark ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Landlord shall pay the commission of Newmark ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ in connection with the execution of this Lease by Landlord and Tenant if, as and when such commission is due and payable to Newmark ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
36. Limitation on Landlord’s Liability. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT TO THE 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 PROPERTY OR ANY PROCEEDS FROM SALE OR CONDEMNATION THEREOF AND ANY INSURANCE PROCEEDS PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY 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.
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. Signs; Exterior Appearance. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion: (i) attach any awnings, exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, painting or other projection to any outside wall of the Building, (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 ▇▇▇▇▇, (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, Building, Property or 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. Standard signage on the entrance to the Building, the directory tablet or other lobby signage for the purpose of identifying tenants of the building 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 and in a location acceptable to Landlord. Nothing may be placed on the exterior of corridor walls or corridor doors other than Landlord’s standard lettering. The directory tablet shall be provided exclusively for the display of the name and location of tenants.
If Landlord installs a monument sign serving the Building (“Monument Sign”), and if Tenant is the sole Tenant on the highest occupiable floor of the Building, Tenant shall be entitled, at Tenant’s cost and expense, to signage with Tenant’s name and logo on the top slot of the Monument Sign. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant’s signage on the Monument Sign including, without limitation, the location, size, color and type, shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be consistent with Landlord’s signage program at the Project and applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the maintenance of Tenant’s signage on the Monument Sign, for the removal of Tenant’s signage from the Monument Sign at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease and for the repair of all damage resulting from such removal.
39. Right to Expand.
(a) Expansion on the Second Floor. Following the first time that Landlord leases the Second Floor Expansion Space to a third party, Tenant shall have a on-going right during the Base Term, but not the obligation, subject to the terms of this Section 39(a), to expand the Premises (the “Expansion Right”) to include the Second Floor Expansion Space upon the terms and conditions in this Section 39(a). For purposes of this Section 39(a), “Second Floor Expansion Space” shall mean any space on the second floor of the Building, which is not occupied by a tenant, or which is occupied by a then-existing tenant whose lease is expiring within 6 months or less and such tenant does not wish to renew (whether or not such tenant has a right to renew) its occupancy of such space, or which is occupied by a then-existing tenant whose lease is terminating prior to its scheduled expiration date. If there is any Second Floor Expansion Space in the Building, Landlord shall, at such time as Landlord shall elect prior to marketing such Second Floor Expansion Space for lease by third parties, deliver to Tenant written notice (the “Expansion Notice”) of such Second Floor Expansion Space, together with the terms and conditions on which Landlord is prepared to lease Tenant such Second Floor Expansion Space. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall be required to exercise its right under this Section 39(a) with respect to all of the space described in the Expansion Notice, including any space in addition to the Second Floor Expansion Space that is described in the Expansion Notice, which additional space shall be deemed to

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
be included as part of the Second Floor Expansion Space. The term of the Lease with respect to the Second Floor Expansion Space may not be co-terminous with the Term of this Lease with respect to the then-existing Premises. Tenant shall have 10 days following receipt of the Expansion Notice to deliver to Landlord written notification (“Second Floor Acceptance Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Right. If Tenant does not deliver a Second Floor Acceptance Notice to Landlord within such 10 day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 39(a) to lease the Second Floor Expansion Space, and Landlord shall have the right to lease the Second Floor Expansion Space to any third party on any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord negotiates with a third party economic lease terms materially more favorable (but in no event shall the economic lease terms be considered more favorable unless the difference in net effective base rent is [ *** ]% or greater) than those offered to Tenant in the Expansion Notice, Landlord shall be required to submit the more favorable economic terms to Tenant for its review. Tenant shall have 5 days after receipt of the more favorable terms to accept or reject the revised terms. If Tenant rejects the more favorable terms, Landlord shall have the right to lease the Second Floor Expansion Space to any third party on terms acceptable to Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, and Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 39(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have no right to exercise the Expansion Right and the provisions of this Section 39(a) shall no longer apply after the date that is 9 months prior to the expiration of the Base Term if Tenant has not exercised its Extension Right pursuant to Section 40.
(b) Expansion on the First Floor/Basement. Following the first time that Landlord leases the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space to a third party, Tenant shall have the on-going right during the Base Term, but not the obligation, subject to the terms of this Section 39(b), to expand the Premises (the “First Floor/Basement Expansion Right”) to include the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space upon the terms and conditions in this Section 39(b). For purposes of this Section 39(b), “First Floor/Basement Expansion Space” shall mean that certain space on the first floor of the Building consisting of approximately 25,303 rentable square feet and that certain portion of the basement containing approximately 4,895 rentable square feet, all as shown on Exhibit H attached hereto, which is not occupied by a tenant, or which is occupied by a then-existing tenant whose lease is expiring within 6 months or less and such tenant does not wish to renew (whether or not such tenant has a right to renew) its occupancy of such space, or which is occupied by a then-existing tenant whose lease is terminating prior to its scheduled expiration date. If there is any First Floor/Basement Expansion Space in the Building, Landlord shall, at such time as Landlord shall elect prior to marketing such First Floor/Basement Expansion Space for lease to third parties, deliver to Tenant written notice (the “First Floor/Basement Expansion Notice”) of such First Floor/Basement Expansion Space, together with the terms and conditions on which Landlord is prepared to lease Tenant such First Floor/Basement Expansion Space. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall be required to exercise its right under this Section 39(b) with respect to all of the space described in the First Floor/Basement Expansion Notice, including any space in addition to the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space that is described in the First Floor/Basement Expansion Notice, which additional space shall be deemed to be included as part of the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space. The term of the Lease with respect to the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space may not be co-terminous with the Term of this Lease with respect to the then-existing Premises. Tenant shall have 10 days following receipt of the First Floor/Basement Expansion Notice to deliver to Landlord written notification (“First Floor/Basement Acceptance Notice”) of Tenant’s exercise of the First Floor/Basement Expansion Right. If Tenant does not deliver a First Floor/Basement Acceptance Notice to Landlord within such 10 day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 39(b) to lease the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space, and Landlord shall have the right to lease the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space to any third party on any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord negotiates with a third party economic lease terms materially more favorable (but in no event shall the economic lease terms be considered more favorable unless the difference in net effective base rent is [ *** ]% or greater) than those offered to Tenant in the First Floor/Basement Expansion Notice, Landlord shall be required to submit the more favorable economic terms to Tenant for its review. Tenant shall have 5 days after receipt of the more favorable terms to accept or reject the revised terms. If Tenant rejects the more favorable terms, Landlord shall have the right to lease the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space to any third party on terms acceptable to Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, and Tenant shall be deemed to have

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
waived its rights under this Section 39(b). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have no right to exercise the First Floor/Basement Expansion Right and the provisions of this Section 39(b) shall no longer apply after the date that is 9 months prior to the expiration of the Base Term if Tenant has not exercised its Extension Right pursuant to Section 40.
(c) Amended Lease. If: (i) Tenant fails to timely deliver notice accepting the terms of an Expansion Notice or a First Floor/Basement Expansion Notice, as applicable, or (ii) after the expiration of a period of 10 days after Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a lease amendment for Tenant’s lease of the Second Floor Expansion Space or the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space, as applicable, no lease amendment for the Second Floor Expansion Space or First Floor/Basement Expansion Space, as applicable, acceptable to both parties, each in their sole and absolute discretion, has been executed, Tenant shall be deemed to have forever waived its right under this Section 39 to lease such Second Floor Expansion Space or First Floor/Basement Expansion Space, as applicable.
(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, the Expansion Right and the First Floor/Basement Expansion Right shall not be in effect and may not be exercised by Tenant:
(i) during any period of time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of the Lease; or
(ii) if Tenant has been in Default under any provision of the 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 Expansion Right or First Floor/Basement Expansion Right.
(e) Termination. The Expansion Right and the First Floor/Basement Expansion Right shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant’s due and timely exercise of the Expansion Right or First Floor/Basement Expansion Right, as applicable,, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the lease of the Second Floor Expansion Space or the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space, as applicable, (i) Tenant fails to timely cure any default by Tenant under the Lease; or (ii) Tenant has Defaulted 3 or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of the Expansion Right or the First Floor/Basement Expansion Right, as applicable, to the date of the commencement of the lease of the Second Floor Expansion Space or the First Floor/Basement Expansion Space, as applicable, whether or not such Defaults are cured.
(f) Rights Personal. The Expansion Right and the First Floor/Basement Expansion Right are personal to Tenant and are 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 Extension Right and the First Floor/Basement Expansion Right may be assigned in connection with any Permitted Assignment of this Lease.
(g) Intentionally Omitted.
(h) No Extensions. The period of time within which the Expansion Right or the First Floor/Basement Expansion Right may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Expansion Right or First Floor/Basement Expansion Right.
40. Right to Extend Term. Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of the Lease upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) Extension Right. Tenant shall have 1 right (the “Extension Right”) to extend the term of this Lease for 5 years (the “Extension Term”) on the same terms and conditions as this Lease (other than Base Rent and the Work Letter) by giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise the Extension Right at least 9 months prior to the expiration of the Base Term of the Lease.

Upon the commencement of the Extension Term, Base Rent shall be payable at the Market Rate (as defined below). Base Rent shall thereafter be adjusted on each annual anniversary of the commencement of such Extension Term by a percentage as determined by Landlord and agreed to by Tenant at the time the Market Rate is determined. As used herein, “Market Rate” shall mean the then market rental rate for space comparable to the Premises in a building comparable to the Building in the East Cambridge and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ as determined by Landlord and agreed to by Tenant or determined by arbitration as provided below. In addition, Landlord may impose a market rent for the parking rights provided hereunder.
Within 30 days of the delivery to Landlord of Tenant’s written notice of Tenant’s election to exercise an Extension Right, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate and rent escalations for the Extension Term. If, on or before the date which is 240 days prior to the expiration of the Base Term of this Lease, Tenant has not agreed with Landlord’s determination of the Market Rate and the rent escalations for the Extension Term, Tenant may by written notice to Landlord given not later than 210 days prior to the expiration of the Base Term of this Lease, elect arbitration as described in Section 40(b) below. If Tenant does not elect such arbitration, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any right to extend, or further extend, the Term of the Lease and Tenant’s Extension Right shall terminate.
(b) Arbitration.
(i) Within 10 days of Tenant’s notice to Landlord of its election to arbitrate Market Rate and escalations, each party shall deliver to the other a proposal containing the Market Rate and escalations that the submitting party believes to be correct (“Extension Proposal”). If either party fails to timely submit an Extension Proposal, the other party’s submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent and escalations for the Extension Term. If both parties submit Extension Proposals, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet within 7 days after delivery of the last Extension Proposal and make a good faith attempt to mutually appoint a single Arbitrator (as defined below) to determine the Market Rate and escalations. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Arbitrator, then each shall, by written notice delivered to the other within 10 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. The decision of the single Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. The average of the two closest Arbitrators in a three Arbitrator panel 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 and escalations 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 Rent Adjustment Percentage until such determination is made. After the determination of the Market Rate and escalations, 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 and escalations 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

(c) Rights Personal.

(d) Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, the Extension Right shall not be in effect and Tenant may not exercise the Extension Right:
(i) during any period of time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of this Lease; or
(ii) 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 immediately prior to the date that Tenant intends to exercise the Extension Right, whether or not the Defaults are cured; or
(iii) if the party named as Tenant in the Basic Lease Provisions as of the date of this Lease or an assignee pursuant to a Permitted Assignment is not in occupancy of at least 50% of the Premises demised hereunder both at the time of the exercise of any such Extension Right and at the time of the commencement of the Extension Term.

Tenant acknowledges that other tenant(s) may have approval rights over the installation and operation of telecommunications equipment and devices on or about the roof, and that Tenant’s right to install and operate the Roof Equipment is subject and subordinate to the rights of such other tenants. Tenant agrees that any other tenant of the Building that currently has or in the future takes possession of any portion of the Building will be permitted to install such telecommunication equipment that is of a type and frequency that will not cause unreasonable interference to the Roof Equipment.

(m) No Accord and Satisfaction. 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 change either Landlord’s Representative at any time upon not less than 5 business days’ advance written notice to Tenant. Landlord’s Representative shall be the sole persons authorized to direct Landlord’s contractors in the performance of Landlord’s Work.
(c) Landlord’s Construction of the Building. Landlord shall construct the following improvements on the Land (collectively, the “Non-TI Project Improvements”): (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, ▇▇▇▇ and Site Construction Documents (as defined below).

(iv) Landlord Modifications to Shell, Core and Site Construction Documents. It is anticipated that as Landlord completes 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 Non-TI Project Improvements to the extent that such design affects the Premises or the construction of the Tenant Improvements; or (ii) adversely affect Tenant’s contemplated use or occupancy of the Building or the Project for the Permitted Uses; or (iii) materially increase the costs, or delay the Tl Substantial Completion, of the Tenant Improvements (each as hereinafter defined) beyond the Target Commencement Date (collectively, an “Adverse Condition”); provided, however, to the extent a Landlord Modification is necessary to comply with Legal Requirements or is required by any applicable Governmental Authorities in connection with its enforcement of Legal Requirements, such Landlord Modification shall not constitute an Adverse Condition. In the event any such Landlord Modification, if implemented, would create an Adverse Condition, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing 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. In the event such Landlord Modifications, if implemented, would materially 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 Tl Allowance (as defined in Section 6 of this Work Letter). 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.
(v) Completion of the Non-TI Project Improvements. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Substantially Complete the Shell and Core Improvements by November 1, 2018. For purposes of this Work Letter, the term “Substantially Complete”, “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, Non-TI Construction Manager and the Project Architect, with the exception of any Punch List Items (as defined below), 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 or improvements to other tenant spaces that in either case preclude issuance of a certificate of occupancy, in which case a certificate of occupancy shall not be a condition precedent to Substantial Completion, but Landlord shall obtain such a certificate within a reasonable time after such requirements have been satisfied). Punch List Items, shall be diligently completed by Landlord within a reasonable time, 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). 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. 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.
2. Tenant Improvements.
(a) Tenant Improvements Defined. As used herein, “Tenant Improvements” shall mean all improvements to the Premises and permitted areas of the Project of a fixed and permanent nature as shown on the Tl Construction Drawings (as defined in Section 2(d) below). Other than Landlord’s Work (as defined in Section 3(a) below, Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever with respect to the finishing of the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy.
(b) Architects, Consultants and Contractors. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that: (i) the construction manager for the Tenant Improvements shall be The Richmond Group (the “Tenant Improvements Construction Manager”) and any subcontractors for the Tenant Improvements shall be selected by Landlord, and (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Will shall be the architect (the “Tl Architect”) for the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall have the right to engage at Tenant’s sole cost and expense a tenant’s construction manager (“Tenant’s Construction Manager”) to oversee the Tenant Improvements. Tenant’s Construction Manager and the agreement pursuant to which Tenant shall engage Tenant’s Construction Manager shall each be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.
(c) Tenant’s Design Program. The Tenant Improvements shall include the components listed in the “Tenant” column in the Landlord/Tenant Responsibility Matrix in Schedule 2(c)(i) (the “Landlord/Tenant Responsibility Matrix”). The schematic drawings and outline specifications detailing Tenant’s requirements for the Tenant Improvements attached hereto as Schedule 2(c)(ii) (the “Tl Design Program”) have been approved by both Landlord and Tenant.
(d) Working Drawings. Landlord shall cause the Tl Architect to prepare and deliver to Tenant for review and comment the construction plans, specifications and drawings for the Tenant Improvements (“Tl Construction Drawings”), which Tl Construction Drawings shall be prepared substantially in accordance with the Tl Design Program approved by Landlord and Tenant (together, the “Tl Design Drawings”) and comply in all respects with the Landlord/Tenant Responsibility Matrix and the LEED standards attached hereto as Schedule 2(d) and the WELL standard attached hereto as Schedule 2(e). Tenant shall be solely responsible for ensuring that the Tl Construction Drawings reflect Tenant’s requirements for the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall deliver its written comments on the Tl Construction Drawings to Landlord not later than 10 business days after Tenant’s receipt of the same; provided, however, that Tenant may not disapprove any matter that is consistent with the Tl Design Drawings without submitting a Change Request. Landlord and the Tl Architect shall consider all such comments in good faith and shall, within 10 business days after receipt, notify Tenant how Landlord proposes to respond to such comments, but Tenant’s review rights pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall not delay the design or construction schedule for the Tenant Improvements. Any disputes in connection with such comments shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2(e) hereof. Provided that the design reflected in the Tl Construction Drawings is consistent with the Tl Design Drawings, Tenant shall approve in writing the Tl Construction Drawings submitted by Landlord, unless Tenant submits a Change Request. Once approved by Tenant, subject to the provisions of Section 4 below, Landlord shall not materially modify the Tl Construction Drawings except as may be reasonably required in connection with the issuance of the Tl Permit (as defined in Section 3(b) below).
(e) Approval and Completion. It is hereby acknowledged by Landlord and Tenant that the Tl Construction Drawings must be completed and approved not later than May 1, 2018, in order for the
***Confidential Treatment Requested***

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
Landlord’s Work to be Tl Substantially Complete by the Target Commencement Date (as defined in the Lease). Upon any dispute regarding the design of the Tenant Improvements, which is not settled within 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 out of the Tl Fund (as defined in Section 5(e) below), and (iii) Tenant’s decision will not affect the base Building, structural components of the Building or any Building systems.

3. Performance of Landlord’s Work for the Construction of the Tenant Improvements.
(a) Definition of Landlord’s Work. As used herein, “Landlord’s Work” shall mean the work of constructing the Tenant Improvements.
(b) Commencement and Permitting. Landlord shall commence construction of the Tenant Improvements upon Landlord’s obtaining a building permit (the “Tl Permit”) authorizing the construction of the Tenant Improvements consistent with the Tl Construction Drawings approved by Tenant as provided herein. The cost of obtaining the Tl Permit shall be payable from the TI Fund. Tenant shall assist Landlord in obtaining the Tl Permit. If any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the construction of Landlord’s Work or any portion thereof shall impose terms or conditions upon the construction thereof that: (i) are inconsistent with Landlord’s obligations hereunder, (ii) increase the cost of constructing Landlord’s Work, or (iii) will materially delay the construction of Landlord’s Work, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably and in good faith seek means by which to mitigate or eliminate any such adverse terms and conditions.
(c) Completion of Landlord’s Work. Landlord shall use commercially reasonably efforts to Tl Substantially Complete the Tenant Improvements by the Target Commencement Date. It is hereby acknowledge by Landlord and Tenant that the permit set based on the Tl Construction Drawings must be completed on or before May 1, 2018, in order for the Tenant Improvement to the Tl Substantially Complete by the Target Commencement Date. Landlord shall substantially complete or cause to be substantially completed Landlord’s Work in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the Tl Permit subject, in each case, to Minor Variations and normal “punch list” items of a non-material nature that do not interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises (“Tl Substantially Complete”, “Tl Substantially Completed”, or “Tl Substantial Completion”), which punch list items shall be completed by Landlord within sixty (60) days after the date of Tl Substantial Completion. Upon Tl Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall require the Tl Architect and the Tenant Improvements Construction Manager 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 Tl Permit); (ii) to comply with any request by Tenant for modifications to Landlord’s Work; (iii) to comport with good design, engineering, and construction practices that are not material; or (iv) to make reasonable adjustments for field deviations or conditions encountered during the construction of Landlord’s Work.
(d) Selection of Materials. Where more than one type of material or structure is indicated on the Tl Construction Drawings approved by Landlord and Tenant, the option will be selected at Landlord’s sole and absolute subjective discretion. As to all building materials and equipment that Landlord is obligated to supply under this Work Letter, Landlord shall select the manufacturer thereof in its sole and absolute subjective discretion.
(e) Delivery of the Premises. When Landlord’s Work is Tl Substantially Complete, subject to the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 3(e). Tenant shall accept the Premises. Tenant’s taking possession and acceptance of the Premises shall not constitute a waiver of: (i) any warranty with

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
respect to workmanship (including installation of equipment) or material (exclusive of equipment provided directly by manufacturers), (ii) any non-compliance of Landlord’s Work with applicable Legal Requirements, or (iii) any claim that Landlord’s Work was not completed substantially in accordance with the Tl Construction Drawings (subject to Minor Variations and such other changes as are permitted hereunder) (collectively, a “Construction Defect”). Tenant shall have one year after Tl Substantial Completion within which to notify Landlord of any such Construction Defect discovered by Tenant, and Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to remedy or cause the responsible contractor to remedy any such Construction Defect within 30 days thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be in default under the Lease if the applicable contractor, despite Landlord’s reasonable efforts, fails to remedy such Construction Defect within such 30-day period, in which case Landlord shall continue to use reasonable efforts to cause such Construction Defect to be remedied.
Tenant shall be entitled to receive the benefit of all construction warranties and manufacturer’s equipment warranties relating to equipment installed in the Premises. If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall attempt to obtain extended warranties from manufacturers and suppliers of such equipment, but the cost of any such extended warranties shall be borne solely out of the Tl Fund. Landlord shall promptly undertake and complete, or cause to be completed, all punch list items.
(f) Commencement Date Delay. Except as otherwise provided in the Lease, Delivery of the Premises shall occur when Landlord’s Work has been Tl Substantially Completed, except to the extent that completion of Landlord’s Work shall have been actually delayed by any one or more of the following causes (“Tenant Delay”):
(i) Tenant’s Representative was not available within 3 business days to give or receive any Communication or to take any other action required to be taken by Tenant within the time period required hereunder;
(ii) Tenant’s request for Change Requests (as defined in Section 4(a) below) whether or not any such Change Requests are actually performed;
(iii) Construction of any Change Requests;
(iv) Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations requiring unusually long lead times;
(v) Tenant’s delay in reviewing, revising or approving plans and specifications beyond the periods set forth herein;
(vi) Tenant’s delay in providing information critical to the normal progression of Landlord’s Work within the time period required hereunder (or, if no time period is provided for hereunder, 2 business days). Tenant shall provide such information as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event longer than one week after receipt of any request for such information from Landlord;
(vii) Tenant’s delay in making payments to Landlord for Excess Tl Costs (as defined in Section 5 below);
(viii) Labor disharmony as a result of non-union labor employed by any contractor or subcontractor engaged by Tenant or any Tenant Party; or
(ix) Any other act or omission by Tenant or any Tenant Party (as defined in the Lease), or persons employed by any of such persons that continues for more than 2 business days after Landlord’s written notice thereof to Tenant.

If Delivery is delayed for any of the foregoing reasons, then Landlord shall cause the Tl Architect to certify the date on which the Tenant Improvements would have been completed but for such Tenant Delay and such certified date shall be the date of Delivery.
4. Changes. Any changes requested by Tenant to the Tenant Improvements after the delivery and approval by Landlord of the Tl Design Drawings shall be requested and instituted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4 and shall be subject to the written approval of Landlord and the Tl Architect, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(a) Tenant’s Request for Changes. If Tenant shall request changes to the Tenant Improvements (“Changes”), Tenant shall request such Changes by notifying Landlord in writing in substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “Change Request”), which Change Request shall detail the nature and extent of any such Change. Such Change Request must be signed by Tenant’s Representative. Landlord shall, before proceeding with any Change, use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Tenant as soon as is reasonably possible with an estimate of: (i) the time it will take, and (ii) the architectural and engineering fees and costs that will be incurred, to analyze such Change Request (which costs shall be paid from the Tl Fund to the extent actually incurred, whether or not such change is implemented). Landlord shall thereafter submit to Tenant in writing, within 5 business days of receipt of the Change Request (or such longer period of time as is reasonably required depending on the extent of the Change Request), an analysis of the additional cost or savings involved, including, without limitation, architectural and engineering costs and the period of time, if any, that the Change will extend the date on which Landlord’s Work will be Tl Substantially Complete. Any such delay in the completion of Landlord’s Work caused by a Change, including any suspension of Landlord’s Work while any such Change is being evaluated and/or designed, shall be Tenant Delay.
(b) Implementation of Changes. If Tenant: (i) approves in writing the cost or savings and the estimated extension in the time for completion of Landlord’s Work, if any, and (ii) deposits with Landlord any Excess Tl Costs required in connection with such Change, Landlord shall cause the approved Change to be instituted. Notwithstanding any approval or disapproval by Tenant of any estimate of the delay caused by such proposed Change, the Tl Architect’s good faith determination of the amount of Tenant Delay in connection with such Change shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant.
5. Costs.
(a) Budget for Tenant Improvements. Before the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall obtain a detailed breakdown by trade of the costs incurred or that will be incurred in connection with the design and construction of the Tenant Improvements (the “Budget”). The Budget shall be based upon the Tl Construction Drawings approved by Tenant. If the Budget is greater than the Tl Allowance, the Tl Costs shall be funded on a pari passu basis as costs are incurred in accordance with Sections 5(e) and 5(f). below.
(b) Tl Allowance. Landlord shall make available for the payment of the Tl Costs a tenant improvement allowance (the “Tl Allowance”) of $[ *** ] per rentable square foot of the Premises. Within 5 business days of receipt of the Budget from Landlord, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing how much of the Tl Allowance Tenant has elected to receive from Landlord (the “Tl Allowance Election”); provided, however that if Tenant does not elect the full amount of the Tl Allowance in the Tl Allowance Election, Tenant may elect to have additional funds, not to exceed any positive amount remaining after subtraction of the amount elected in the Tl Allowance Election from the Tl Allowance, to be made available to pay for the Tenant Improvements as part of the Tl Allowance (if any, the “Subsequent Tl Allowance Election”), upon 10 business days’ prior written notice to Landlord, which prior written notice of any Subsequent Tl Allowance Election shall be given, if at all, within 45 days of the date of Tenant’s initial Tl Allowance Election. The Subsequent Tl Allowance Election and Tl Allowance Election (or if no Subsequent Tl Allowance Election is made within the time period required, the Tl Allowance Election itself) 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. The Tl Allowance shall be disbursed in accordance with this Work Letter.

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
In addition to the Tl Allowance and the Additional Tl Allowance (as hereinafter defined), Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for up to $[ *** ] per month, beginning as of November 1, 2017, through December 31, 2018, for the actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant for the management and oversight of the Tenant Improvements by Tenant’s third party project manager (the “PM Allowance”). Landlord shall disburse the PM Allowance to Tenant on a periodic basis, (but no more than once per month) within 30 days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s invoices reflecting such costs along with evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
Tenant shall have no right to the use or benefit (including any reduction to or payment of Base Rent) of any portion of the Tl Allowance not required for the construction of (i) the Tenant Improvements described in the Tl Construction Drawings approved pursuant to Section 2(d) or (ii) any approved Changes pursuant to Section 4.
(c) Additional Tl Allowance. Landlord shall make available for the payment of Excess Tl Costs an additional tenant allowance (the “Additional Tl Allowance”) of $[ *** ] per rentable square foot of the Premises, which shall, to the extent use, result in Tl Rent pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Lease. Tenant shall make its election regarding how much of the Additional Tl Allowance elects to receive pursuant to the schedule and terms set forth in Section 5(b) above with respect to the Tl Allowance.
(d) Costs Includable in Tl Fund. The Tl Fund (as defined in Section 5(e) below) shall be used solely for the payment of design, permits and construction costs in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, including, without limitation, the cost of electrical power and other utilities used in connection with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, the cost of preparing the Tl Design Drawings and the Tl Construction Drawings, all costs set forth in the Budget, including Landlord’s out-of-pocket expenses, costs resulting from Tenant Delays and the cost of Changes (collectively, “Tl Costs”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Tl Fund shall not be used to purchase any furniture, personal property or other non-building system materials or equipment, including, but not limited to, Tenant’s voice or data cabling, non-ducted biological safety cabinets and other scientific equipment not incorporated into the Tenant Improvements.
(e) Excess Tl 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 Tl Allowance and the Additional Tl Allowance that Tenant has elected to receive. If at any time the remaining Tl Costs under the then-current Budget exceed the remaining unexpended Tl Allowance and Additional Tl Allowance that Tenant has elected to receive (such excess sometimes referred to herein as “Excess Tl Costs”), each party’s obligations for payment shall be as set forth in this Section 5(e) and in Section 5(f). The Tl Allowance, the Additional Tl Allowance and Excess Tl Costs are herein referred to as the “Tl Fund.” As used in this Work Letter, “Landlord’s Portion” shall equal the Tl Allowance and the Additional Tl Allowance that Tenant has elected to receive. 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. If at any time Tl Costs under the then-current Budget exceed the Tl Allowance and the portion of the Additional Tl Allowance that Tenant has elected to receive, 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. Upon notice to Tenant, Landlord may equitably adjust Landlord’s Proportionate Share and Tenant’s Proportionate Share from time to time based on changes in the anticipated Tl Costs. After the end of each calendar month, beginning with the month in which Landlord obtains the Budget: (i) Landlord shall determine the Tl Costs incurred for the prior calendar month (and if applicable, for the period prior to Lease execution) (collectively, the “Total Monthly Costs”), (ii) Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within the time period set forth in Section 5(f) below for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Total Monthly Costs, and (iii) Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Proportionate Share of Total Monthly Costs from the remaining amount of the Tl Allowance.
(f) Funding Requisition; Reconciliation; Timely Payment. Landlord shall submit to Tenant monthly during the performance of the Tenant Improvements a report (each, a “Reimbursement Notice”) setting forth in reasonable detail: (i) a computation of the Tl Costs incurred during the prior

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
calendar month, including without limitation costs relating to all requested Changes; (ii) the then-current cumulative Tl Costs; and (iii) Landlord’s calculation of the parties’ respective responsibilities for payment of such costs for such month (i.e., the estimated amounts of Tenant’s Portion and/or Landlord’s Portion due for such month). Each month, Landlord shall prepare a reconciliation of actual Tl Costs with Tl Costs in accordance with the Budget for which Tenant has advanced Tenant’s Proportionate Share, and: (x) in the event of any overpayment by Tenant, then, solely to the extent of any Tenant’s Proportionate Share that Tenant has actually deposited with Landlord, such overpayment shall be credited against the amounts next due hereunder unless construction of the Tenant Improvements is completed, in which case such overpayment shall be promptly refunded to Tenant; and (y) in the event of an underpayment by Tenant, Tenant shall, as a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to complete the Tenant Improvements, reimburse Landlord therefor within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Reimbursement Notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section, Tenant shall be fully and solely liable for Tl Costs and the costs of Changes and Minor Variations in excess of the Tl Allowance. Reimbursement Notices may be sent during a calendar month for the prior calendar month and shall be submitted no later than the end of each calendar month for the prior calendar month. Upon final completion of the Tenant Improvements (including all Punch List Items), Landlord shall prepare a final reconciliation consisting of a reconciliation of the total costs of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Total Monthly Costs as set forth in each Reimbursement Notice within thirty (30) days of receipt of each Reimbursement Notice (or such lesser period as may be required to enable Landlord to comply with the Massachusetts “Prompt Pay” legislation). Such payment by Tenant shall be a condition precedent to Landlord’s obligation to complete the Tenant Improvements. If Tenant fails to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Total Monthly Costs as set forth in any Reimbursement Notice within such period, 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 and the right to assess a late charge, each in accordance with the terms of the Lease). For purposes of any claims made or litigation instituted with regard to Tenant’s Portion or Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Total Monthly Costs, such amounts shall constitute Rent under the Lease.

(a) Tenant’s Access Rights. Landlord hereby agrees to permit Tenant access, at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, to the Building (i) 60 days prior to the Commencement Date to perform any work (“Tenant’s Work”) required by Tenant (including, without limitation, installing furniture, fixtures, equipment and cabling in the Premises) other than Landlord’s Work, provided that such Tenant’s Work is coordinated with the Tl Architect and the Tenant Improvements Construction Manager, and complies with the Lease and all other reasonable restrictions and conditions Landlord may impose, and (ii) prior to the completion of Landlord’s Work, to inspect and observe work in process; all such access shall be during normal business hours or at such other times as are reasonably designated by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to enter onto the Premises or the Project unless and until Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord demonstrating that any insurance reasonably required by Landlord in connection with such pre-commencement access (including, but not limited to, any insurance that Landlord may require pursuant to the Lease) is in full force and effect. Any entry and access by Tenant shall comply with all established safety practices of the Tenant Improvements Construction Manager and Landlord.
(b) No Interference. Neither Tenant nor any Tenant Party (as defined in the Lease) shall interfere with the performance of Landlord’s Work or the work on the Non-TI Project Improvements, nor with any inspections or issuance of final approvals by applicable Governmental Authorities, and upon any such interference, Landlord shall have the right, in addition to other rights and remedies under the Work Letter or Lease, to exclude Tenant and/or any Tenant Party from the Premises and the Project until Tl Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work.
(c) Labor Harmony. Tenant agrees that any work performed by or on behalf of Tenant or any Tenant Party shall be performed in such manner and by such persons as shall maintain harmonious labor relations at the Project.

PART A: GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
This document is provided to inform tenants of the sustainable design aspects for the design and construction of the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, and to outline the sustainability goals and objectives for the tenant spaces. This document also provides information on how the base building sustainable features will interface with the tenant fit-up sustainable features (LEED CI).
Using the information provided here the tenants are encouraged to make their fit-up projects comply with the standards of the US Green Building Council LEED for Green Building Design and Construction. Some key features of LEED are prerequisites, and where these are a requirement for Tenant spaces they have been noted here.
Being a tenant in a LEED certified construction project can benefit a company’s bottom line. It can be more cost effective and save money on utility bills and operating costs. It can increase productivity by making employees and residents more comfortable and it can create a positive reputation for the company in the community. LEED certified projects help the larger environment by reducing energy and natural resource consumption and by cutting down on waste and pollution created.
The U.S. Green Building Council and LEED
The U.S. Green Building Council (▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇) is a nonprofit organization committed to expanding sustainability in the built environment. Its mission is to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life. LEED is a voluntary, consensus-based national rating system for developing high-performance, sustainable buildings.
Developed by USGBC, LEED addresses all building types and emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials and resources selection, and indoor environmental quality. LEED is a voluntary rating system for green building design and construction that provides immediate and measurable results for building owners and occupants.
▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Tenants at the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ have a remarkable opportunity to help lead the shift to sustainability in buildings, and in the process define a new kind of workplace. By locating in a LEED certified building, tenants will benefit from excellent indoor air quality, as well as other advantages. These and other elements combine to create a healthier workplace and improve the indoor environment for all employees. In addition, the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has seta higher standard with high-performance technologies that use less energy, consume less water, and leave a smaller footprint on the city’s resources. Some of the building’s innovative features will be noticed upon entering the building while others, such as energy-saving light fixtures and efficient systems will exist behind the scenes, quietly but significantly setting the building apart from its neighbors.
The Tenant Guidelines that follow summarize the measures the ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has undertaken to achieve LEED certification. These guidelines are intended to help tenants understand and take full advantage of the high-performance features of the building, and to provide guidance in ways that tenants can reinforce these features in their own workplaces.
The ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ project has seta goal of achieving certification for the base building using LEED for Core and Shell (LEED-CS). We can only design and build the building, however. It is up to our tenants to fit it out and operate it in an environmentally friendly way. To do this, we recommend you use the LEED for Commercial Interiors rating system (LEED-CI). The intent of LEED-CI is to assist in the creation of high-performance, healthy, durable, affordable and environmentally sound commercial interiors. Together

Any composite wood, such as plywood, particleboard or door cores shall be urea-formaldehyde free throughout the interior fit-out. The base building used these materials and methods to ensure a healthy environment.
|
IEQc4.5, Low-Emitting Materials, Systems Furniture & Seating |
[1 point] |
Tenants can receive this credit by purchasing Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified furniture for their new space, including work stations and seating. Salvaged and re-used furniture is exempt from this requirement.
|
IEQc8.2, Daylight and Views, Views |
[1 point] |
The base building has been designed to give the occupants views of outdoors from the majority of the occupied spaces. Future tenants also have the potential of achieving a credit for views of outdoors based on the layout of the tenant space. Placement of open work areas along the perimeter wall, with less used spaces, storage and closed office spaces with glass sidelights in the core areas will optimize views of outside the building for the employees. For more information, review the LEED-CI Reference Guide for credit requirements and additional strategies.
|
IDc1, Innovation in Design |
[1-4 points] |
The tenant has the potential of achieving up to four additional credits dependent on other environmental features they might institute. Some examples include purchasing 100% green power; providing an Educational program that provides signage, a case study, web-based information, and/or tours to share the green features of the tenant’s interior fit-out; to exceed MRc2 to more than 95% recycled construction waste; or to utilize ergonomic workstation furniture. A final Innovation credit for the tenant LEED CI program will be to engage in a building-wide green housekeeping program in which the cleaning materials, paper goods, equipment and procedures used are in accordance with Green Seal and will provide optimum indoor air quality so that all tenants will enjoy working in a clean and healthy building.

Appendix -C
Sample Indoor Air Quality Management Plan - During Construction
1. Construction IAQ Plan
The intent of this plan is to describe the measures to be taken in order to provide good indoor air quality (IAQ.) not only during construction but also after construction is complete and the occupants have moved into the building. This plan is based on the SMACNA standard “IAQ Guidelines for Occupied Buildings under Construction” and the requirements of the LEED-NC v2009 Construction Program.
This document is to provide the framework for the General Contractor to create the project specific plan to minimize contamination in the building during construction and to flush the building prior to construction.
It is not the intent of this document to replace or supercede OSHA regulations as to safe construction workplace practices. It remains the responsibility of the Construction Manager and the individual sub-contractors to maintain safe building and site operations.
The plan will address construction IAQ by recommending procedures in six areas of concern, which in turn will allow the building to achieve two LEED program points:
· HVAC system protection
· Contaminant source control
· Pathway interruption
· Housekeeping
· Scheduling
· Building flush-out
The following describes the specific measures to be performed in each area of concern:
2. HVAC Protection
· During construction, provide temporary MERV 8 filters at the return air system openings. Perform frequent periodic maintenance if the HVAC system is being utilized and replace filters as they become loaded. When activities that produce high dust, such as drywall sanding, concrete cutting, masonry work, wood sawing and insulating or pollution levels occur, seal off the return air system openings completely for the duration of the task.
· Shut down or seal off the return air during any demolition operations.
· If the HVAC system is not used during construction, seal off the supply and return air system openings to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris in the duct system. Seal the diffusers in plastic also.
· Do not use the mechanical rooms to store construction or waste materials. Keep rooms clean and neat.
· After construction, provide AHU filter media to meet the ASHRAE MERV ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ (80-90% efficient). Provide cut sheets on the filter media utilized with the MERV values highlighted.

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
· Provide periodic duct inspections during construction; if the ducts become contaminated due to inadequate protection, clean the ducts professionally in accordance with NADCA (National Air Duct Cleaning Association) standards.
· The General Contractor shall take photographs showing measures in place.
3. Source Control
· Odor and dust sources can be classified in one of three categories:
Class 1. These are air pollutants expected to have only a nuisance impact on exposed occupants. Health effects should only occur in the case of very sensitive individuals.
Class 2. These are air pollutants that could cause a moderate but temporary health impact in some occupants.
Class 3. These are more hazardous air pollutants that could cause severe, acute, or chronic illness.
· Use low VOC products as indicated by the specifications to reduce potential problems.
· Restrict traffic volume and prohibit idling of motor vehicles where emissions could be drawn into the building.
· Utilize electric or natural gas alternatives for gasoline and diesel equipment where possible and practical.
· Cycle equipment off when not being used or needed.
· Exhaust pollution sources to the outside with portable fan systems. Prevent exhaust from recirculating back into the building.
· Keep containers of wet products closed as much as possible. Cover or seal containers of waste materials that can release odor or dust.
· Protect stored on-site or installed absorptive building materials from weather and moisture; wrap with plastic and seal tight to prevent moisture absorption.
· The General Contractor shall take photographs showing measures in place.
4. Pathway Interruption
· Provide dust curtains or temporary enclosures to prevent dust from migrating to other areas when applicable.
· Locate pollutant sources as far away as possible from supply ducts and areas occupied by workers when feasible. Supply and exhaust systems may have to be shutdown or isolated during such activity.
· During construction, isolate areas of work to prevent contamination of clean or occupied areas. Pressure differentials may be utilized to prevent contaminated air from entering clean areas.
· Depending on weather, ventilation using 100% outside air will be used to exhaust contaminated air directly to the outside during installation of VOC emitting materials.

17 C.F.R. Sections 200.80(b)(4) and 240.24b-2
5. Housekeeping
· Provide regular cleaning concentrating on HVAC equipment and building spaces to remove contaminants from the building prior to occupancy.
· All coils, air filters, fans and ductwork shall remain clean during installation and, if required, will be cleaned prior to performing the testing, adjusting and balancing of the systems.
· Suppress and minimize dust with wetting agents or sweeping compounds. Utilize efficient and effective dust collecting methods such as a damp cloth, wet mop, vacuum with particulate filters, or wet scrubber.
· Remove accumulations of water inside the building. Protect porous materials such as insulation and ceiling tile from exposure to moisture.
· Provide photographs of the above activities during construction to document compliance.
6. Scheduling and Construction Activity Sequence
· Schedule high pollution activities that utilize high VOC level products (including paints, sealers, insulation, adhesives, caulking and cleaners) to take place prior to installing highly absorbent materials (such as ceiling tiles, gypsum wall board, fabric furnishings, carpet and insulation, for example). These materials will act as ‘sinks’ for VOCs, odors and other contaminants, and release them later after occupancy.
7. Building Flush-out
· Clean the coils and fans, replace all filter media with MERV 13 (80-90% efficient) media when construction is complete and prior to operating HVAC system for flush-out.
· Operate the HVAC systems utilizing 100% outside air in all systems (where possible) for continuously for a two-week period prior to occupancy, providing 14,000 cubic feet of air per square foot of building served over the flush-out period.
· Check HVAC filters and systems daily. Replace filter media as loading occurs, or if media is dislodged from the holding rack.
· If filter media does get dislodged from the holding rack, shut down the unit and inspect the downstream ductwork for dust, dirt and debris carryover. If needed, professionally clean the ductwork per NADCA standards.
· When flush-out is complete and building is ready for occupancy, replace all filter media one final time with MERV 13 filters.
Refer to attached Planning Checklist and Inspection Checklist for use in planning activities and confirming that measures selected are utilized.

Well Building Guidelines ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇
WELL BUILDING STANDARDS
Landlord and Tenant shall each abide by the following WELL Building Standards and any rules and regulations of general application to all similarly situated Building tenants that may reasonably be implemented by Landlord to ensure compliance with the WELL Building Standards, including, without limitation, the International WELL Building Institute’s WELL Building Standard for Core and Shell Construction: Details on the requirements for each certification can be found at ▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇.
The WELL Building Standard marries best practices in design and construction with evidence-based health and wellness interventions. It harnesses the built environment as a vehicle to support human health, well-being and comfort. WELL Certified spaces and developments can lead to a built environment that helps to improve the nutrition, fitness, mood, sleep, comfort and performance of its occupants. This is achieved in part by implementing strategies, programs and technologies designed to encourage healthy, more active lifestyles and reducing occupancy exposure to harmful chemicals and pollutants.
The following Wellness practices and strategies establish a process through with the Tenant can elevate human health and comfort to the forefront of building practices and reinvent buildings that are not only better for the planet, but also for people.
WELLNESS STRATEGIES
Tenant shall use reasonable efforts to adhere to the following standards so that Landlord and Tenant may achieve the WELL Building Standards.
A. Smoking Ban (Precondition 02): Smoking and the use of e-cigarettes is prohibited inside the building. A smoking ban is in effect within 25 feet of all entrances, operable windows and building air intakes. A smoking ban is in effect on all decks, patios, balconies, rooftops and all other regularly occupied exterior building spaces. Signage shall be provided by the Landlord stating the restriction.
B. VOC Reduction (Precondition 04): Tenant must select materials that meet WELL Air Quality Standards, including the compliance with the following items listed below. Tenant may choose to comply with furniture standards, but is not mandated by the Landlord.
a. PART 1: INTERIOR PAINTS AND COATINGS The VOC limits of newly applied paints and coatings meet one of the following requirements:

i. All filters are replaced prior to occupancy.
c. VOC ABSORPTION MANAGEMENT To prevent building materials from absorbing and later releasing VOCs emitted by other (source) materials during construction, the following requirements are met:
i. A secure area is designated to store and protect absorptive materials, including but not limited to carpets, acoustical ceiling panels, fabric wall coverings, insulation, upholstery and furnishings.
ii. Wet materials, including but not limited to adhesives, wood preservatives and finishes, sealants, glazing compounds, paints and joint fillers are installed and allowed to fully cure, prior to installation of absorptive materials.
iii. Hard finishes requiring adhesive installation are installed and allowed to dry for a minimum of 24 hours, prior to installation of absorptive materials.
d. DUST CONTAINMENT AND REMOVAL The following procedures are followed during building construction:
i. AH active areas of work are isolated from other spaces by sealed doorways or windows or through the use of temporary barriers.
ii. Walk-off mats are used at entryways to reduce the transfer of dirt and pollutants.
iii. Saws and other tools use dust guards or collectors to capture generated dust
D. Pesticide Management (Precondition 10): Tenant must create a pest management system that reduces pesticides and herbicide use and eliminates highly toxic chemicals. Most pest management systems do not prohibit the application of harmful chemicals, so this feature further requires that only approve products are used. This scope is applicable if the tenant has indoor plants, green walls and all other biophillic elements. Specific requirements include:
a. PART 1: PESTICIDE USE The following conditions are met for all pesticides and herbicides used on plants:
i. Pesticide and herbicide use is minimized by creating a use plan based on Chapter 3 of the San Francisco Environment Code Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program.
ii. Only pesticides with a hazard tier ranking of 3 (least hazardous) as per The City of San Francisco Department of the Environment’s (SFE) Reduced-Risk
