demise unto Tenant on an “as is” basis (except as
otherwise expressly set forth herein) a portion of each of the
lower level, first (including the main lobby and entryway serving
the Premises), second, and third floors of a building with an
address of 850 and 852 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts and
constructed substantially in accordance with the specifications
attached as Exhibit 1.01-3 , subject to reasonably
equivalent substitutions for materials described therein (such
building being referred to herein as the “ Building
”), as such demised premises is more particularly described
on Exhibit 1.01-1 (the “ Premises
”), together with the right to use, in common with others,
the walkways, driveways, parking areas, loading areas, and utility
lines (including telecommunications lines) serving the Premises.
The parties agree that the rentable area for the Premises is
100,235 rentable square feet, as measured in accordance with the
measurement standard described on Exhibit 1.01-4 ,
attached.
The Building is a
condominium unit within the Reservoir Woods Primary Condominium
(the “ Condominium ”), a condominium created by
Master Deed dated February 26, 2007, recorded in Book 49037,
Page 229 of the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds, as amended. The
Building and its undivided interest in the common elements of the
Condominium are referred to herein as the “ Property
” and are more particularly described on
Exhibit 1.01-2 . This Lease, and Tenant’s
leasehold interest in the Premises, are subject to the terms,
covenants and conditions of agreements, easements and restrictions
of record applicable to the Property, all of which Tenant shall
perform and observe insofar as the same are applicable to the
Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be bound by any
easements or restrictions made after the date of this Lease that
materially and adversely affect Tenant’s rights and
obligations under this Lease unless and until Landlord has obtained
Tenant’s prior written consent. Landlord hereby represents
and warrants that none of the existing agreements, easements and
restrictions of record prohibit or restrict use of the Premises for
the Permitted Uses.
The Premises
exclude common areas and facilities of the Building, including
without limitation exterior walls, roofs, the common stairways and
stairwells, the parking garage, elevators and elevator wells, fan
rooms, electric and telephone closets (other

than those
exclusively serving the Premises, if any), janitor closets, freight
elevators, and pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant
fixtures serving other parts of the Property (exclusively or in
common) and other common areas and facilities from time to time
designated as such by Landlord; provided that, in any event, the
designation of such common areas and facilities does not adversely
affect the Premises, Tenant’s use of the Premises, or access
to the Premises in more than a de minimis manner. If the Premises
include less than the entire rentable area of any floor, then the
Premises also exclude the common corridors, common elevator lobby
and common toilets located on such floor.
Section 1.02.
Special Appurtenant Rights .
(a) Tenant
shall, subject to reasonable closures for repairs and the like,
casualty, and condemnation, have the appurtenant, non-exclusive
right, in common with others, to use the common fitness center
(subject only to nominal charges for use of basic services) and
cafeteria (with associated patio area) located at the Building, in
each case subject to reasonable rules established by Landlord from
time to time pursuant to Section 5.04 of this Lease, and which
services shall, subject to the matters set forth above, be
available throughout the term of this Lease (the facilities
referred to in this paragraph, collectively, the “
Amenities ”).
Landlord and
Tenant acknowledge that Landlord intends to retain a third-party
vendor for the operation of the cafeteria in the Building. If the
service provided by any third-party vendor operating the cafeteria
from time to time is inconsistent with first-class standards for a
suburban office, laboratory and research and development park in
more than a de minimus manner, Tenant shall have the right to give
Landlord written notice of such event with sufficient detail for
Landlord to investigate the complaint. At the written request of
Tenant, Landlord shall exercise its right to terminate the contract
of such vendor, in which event Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to replace the applicable vendor with a substitute vendor
experienced in operating similar facilities in first class suburban
office, laboratory and research and development buildings, subject
to Tenant’s rights under the immediately preceding paragraph.
Landlord shall consult with Tenant in the process of making menu
selections for the cafeteria.
(b) So
long as Landlord or an entity controlled by, under common control
with, or controlling Landlord is the owner of the property known as
840 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts (also known as “
Healthpoint ”), Tenant shall be entitled to the
benefit of any discounted rates for the fitness facilities located
at Healthpoint, if any, that are negotiated between Landlord and
the owner of Healthpoint for the benefit of tenants at the
Building.
(c) Tenant
shall have the appurtenant, non-exclusive right, in common with
others, to reasonably access any Building communication system
serving the Premises (which access shall be reasonably coordinated
and facilitated by Landlord) and the exclusive right and obligation
to use and maintain the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning
units installed on the roof and exclusively serving the second and
third floors of the Premises, together with the rights to use the
roof further described in Article 21, below.
- 2 -
(d) Landlord
shall cooperate with Tenant during Tenant’s design of the
Finish Work to identify an appropriate portion or portions of the
parking garage beneath the Building in which Tenant may install a
pH neutralization system and other lab equipment and systems
serving the Premises (such areas collectively being referred to as
the “ PH Rooms ”). In no event shall the PH
Rooms exceed 750 square feet in gross floor area in the aggregate.
Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written instrument
identifying the location of the PH Rooms upon determining their
location, in which event such areas shall be deemed to be
appurtenant to the Premises and available for Tenant’s
exclusive use. If the location of the PH Rooms, as agreed to by
Landlord, results in the loss of one or more parking spaces serving
the Building, then such eliminated parking space(s) shall be
counted towards Tenant’s parking allocation under
Section 20.10 of this Lease.
(e) Tenant
shall, subject to reasonable closures for maintenance and repairs
(for which Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior
notice where feasible), casualty, and condemnation, have the
appurtenant, exclusive right to use the two (2) elevators
identified as “ Tenant Exclusive Elevators ” on
Exhibit 1.01-1 for access and egress to the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, except for casualty or condemnation
and subject to the provisions of Section 3.02, at least one of
the Tenant Exclusive Elevators shall be available 24 hours per day,
365 days per year during the Term.
Section 1.03.
Term Commencement . Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and
agree that the Premises shall be delivered by Landlord in two
phases: the first and third floor of the Premises and associated
basement areas (the “ Office Portion ”) shall be
delivered first, and the second floor of the Premises and
associated basement areas shall be delivered second (the “
Lab Portion ”; either the Office Portion or the Lab
Portion being referred to herein as a “ Portion
”).
(a) The
term of this Lease for each Portion of the Premises shall commence
on the earlier of (i) the Delivery Date (as defined below), or
(ii) the date Tenant enters into possession of all or any
substantial portion of such Portion for the conduct of its business
(for the purposes of this Section 1.03, “conduct of its
business” shall not include installation of furniture,
fixtures, equipment, or the like). The date of commencement for
each Portion as so determined is hereinafter referred to as the
“ Commencement Date .” The term shall expire at
11:59 p.m. on the date (the “ Expiration Date
”) that is the last day of the calendar month in which the
10th anniversary of the initial Rent Commencement Date (as defined
in Section 2.01) occurs, unless extended or sooner terminated
as hereinafter provided and shall include the period between the
Commencement Date and the initial Rent Commencement Date. Landlord
will provide Tenant with at least fourteen (14) days prior
notice of each Delivery Date. If the Delivery Date designated in
such notice does not occur on the initially designated date,
Landlord shall keep Tenant informed of the anticipated Delivery
Date and shall be required to give Tenant at least two
(2) business days prior notice of the applicable Delivery Date
as so extended.
The “
Delivery Date ” shall mean the date on which Landlord
Substantially Completes the Landlord Work (as defined in
Exhibit 7.02 ) for a Portion of the Premises and
delivers such Portion to Tenant. The “ Estimated Delivery
Date ” means December 1, 2009, with respect to the
Office Portion and February 1, 2010, with respect to the Lab
Portion, as such dates are extended for Tenant Delay
- 3 -
and matters
described in Section 20.14. Landlord’s failure to
Substantially Complete the Finish Work and deliver the Premises on
or before the applicable Estimated Delivery Date, for any reason,
shall not give rise to any liability of Landlord hereunder, shall
not constitute a Landlord’s default, shall not affect the
validity of this Lease, and shall have no effect on the beginning
or end of the term of this Lease as otherwise determined hereunder
or on Tenant’s obligations associated therewith except
that:
(i) if
the Commencement Date for the Office Portion occurs more than
30 days after the Estimated Delivery Date for the Office
Portion as it may be extended, then, as liquidated damages Tenant
shall receive an abatement of Base Rent allocable to the Office
Portion equal to (x) one day for each day following such
30-day period through the 60th day following the Estimated Delivery
Date with respect to the Office Portion, and (y) two days for
each day thereafter until the Commencement Date for the Office
Portion occurs.
(ii) if
the Commencement Date for the Lab Portion occurs more than
60 days after the Estimated Delivery Date for the Lab Portion
as it may be extended, then, as liquidated damages Tenant shall
receive an abatement of Base Rent allocable to the Lab Portion
equal to (i) one day for each day following such sixty-day
period through the 90th day following the Estimated Delivery Date
with respect to the Lab Portion, and (ii) two days for each
day thereafter until the Commencement Date for the Lab Portion
occurs; and
(iii) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the Commencement Date for the
Office Portion fails to occur within 135 days after the
Estimated Delivery Date for the Office Portion, then Tenant shall
have the one-time option to elect either to (A) terminate this
Lease or (B) complete all of the Landlord Work at its sole cost and
expense (except as set forth below) and in compliance with
Article 8 hereof, in either case upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Landlord; provided, however, that if the
Commencement Date for the Office Portion occurs within such thirty
(30) day period, then such election shall be of no force or
effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Tenant
makes the election set forth in clause (B), above, then Tenant may
apply any unused Finish Work Allowance towards any work undertaken
pursuant to clause (B) pursuant to (and subject to the
provisions of) Exhibit 7.02 and shall, to the extent
not reimbursed through use of the Finish Work Allowance, have the
right to reimbursement by Landlord (on 30 days prior notice)
for Tenant’s reasonable third party costs and expenses to
complete such Landlord Work to the extent exceeding the amount of
Excess Finish Work costs that Tenant would otherwise have incurred
in the completion of such Landlord Work by Landlord; and
(iv) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event that the Commencement Date for the Lab
Portion fails to occur within 135 days after the Estimated
Delivery Date for the Lab Portion, then Tenant shall have the one
time option to elect either to (A) terminate this Lease solely
with respect to the Lab Portion of the Premises, or
(B) complete the Landlord Work for the Lab Portion at its sole
cost and expense (except as set forth below) and in compliance with
Article 8 hereof, in either case upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Landlord; provided, however, that if the
Commencement Date for the Lab Portion occurs within such thirty
(30) day
- 4 -
period, then
such election shall be of no force or effect. In the event that
Tenant makes the election set forth in (A), above, then the Lab
Portion (which the parties agree consists of 33,443 rentable square
feet) shall be deemed to be removed from the Premises and the Base
Rent, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share, Finish Work Allowance and any
other rights under this Lease that are expressly derived on a
per-square-foot basis shall be adjusted accordingly.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Tenant makes
the election set forth in clause (B), above, then Tenant may apply
any unused Finish Work Allowance towards any work undertaken
pursuant to clause (B) to the extent elected by Tenant
pursuant to (and subject to the provisions of)
Exhibit 7.02 and shall, to the extent not reimbursed
through use of the Finish Work Allowance, have the right to
reimbursement by Landlord (on 30 days prior notice) for
Tenant’s reasonable third party costs and expenses to
complete such Landlord Work to the extent exceeding the amount of
Excess Finish Work costs that Tenant would otherwise have incurred
in the completion of such Landlord Work by Landlord.
(v) In
connection with the exercise of this Lease, Landlord has provided
Tenant with a guaranty from The Prudential Insurance Company of
America, acting solely on behalf of or for the benefit of its
insurance company separate account PRISA II, in the form attached
as Exhibit 1.03.
The remedies set
forth in this Section 1.03(a) are Tenant’s sole and
exclusive remedies, at law or in equity, with respect to
Landlord’s timely delivery of the Premises and timely
Substantial Completion of the Landlord Work.
(b) Tenant
and Landlord agree to execute an agreement in recordable form
identifying the actual Commencement Dates, the Rent Commencement
Dates, and the Expiration Date, but a failure to execute such an
agreement shall not affect the commencement or expiration of the
term of this Lease.

that the Office Portion and Lab Portion Rent Commencement Dates do
not occur on the same day, the Annual Base Rent and Monthly Base
Rent shall be apportioned accordingly (e.g. 66.6% of the Annual
Base Rent is allocable to the Office Portion and 33.4% is allocable

with respect to the partial month following such Rent Commencement
Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the applicable Rent
Commencement Date a pro-rated share of the Base Rent that would
have otherwise been payable for such month (based on the number of
days remaining in such month) had such Rent Commencement Date
occurred on the first day of such month.
Section 2.02.
Additional Rent for Operating Expenses and Taxes
.
- 6 -
(a) Commencing
on the Commencement Date for each Portion of the Premises, Tenant
shall pay as Additional Rent to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata
Share of Taxes (as defined below) and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share
of all Operating Expenses (as defined below). If at any time within
any calendar year, less than 95% of the rentable space of the
Building or Property is leased and occupied under agreements for
which the lease term has commenced, Operating Expenses that vary
with such occupancy for that calendar year during the term of this
Lease shall be computed and adjusted upward so that Operating
Expenses shall at all times equal the greater of (i) actual
Operating Expenses or (ii) an amount extrapolated as if the
Building or Property, as applicable, were ninety-five (95%)
leased.
Additional Rent
computed under this Section 2.02 shall be prorated should this
Lease commence or terminate before: (i) the end of any fiscal
tax year for that portion related to Taxes; or (ii) the end of any
calendar year for that portion related to Operating Expenses.
Tenant shall make monthly payments of Additional Rent, in advance,
on the applicable Commencement Date and the first of each month
thereafter equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual amount of such
Additional Rent reasonably projected by Landlord to be due from
Tenant (pro-rated for any partial month at the beginning or end of
the term) from time to time. Tenant’s monthly payments may be
reasonably revised by Landlord from time to time so that
Tenant’s aggregate monthly payments shall equal the
Additional Rent then projected to be due for the year in question.
A final accounting and payment for each real estate tax and
operating period shall be made within thirty (30) days after
written notice from Landlord of the exact amount of such Additional
Rent for the fiscal tax year or calendar year in question (each, a
“ Reconciliation Notice ”), which notice
Landlord shall endeavor to deliver to Tenant within ninety
(90) days after the end of each fiscal tax year or calendar
year, as applicable, and, in any event, Landlord shall deliver
within 270 days after the end of each fiscal tax year or
calendar year, as applicable. Landlord’s statements of
Additional Rent for Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be
conclusive and binding on Tenant unless disputed within six months
after the respective year-end statements are issued. In the event
that the Additional Rent due with respect such period is finally
determined to be less than the Additional Rent paid by Tenant on
account of Landlord’s projection of Additional Rent, Landlord
shall credit the difference against the next installment of Rent
coming due under this Lease or, if no such installment is coming
due, then Landlord shall promptly refund such difference. In the
event Taxes for the Premises, based upon which Tenant shall have
paid Additional Rent, are subsequently reduced or abated, Tenant
shall be entitled to receive its allocable share of the amount
abated, provided that the amount of the rebate allocable to Tenant
shall in no event exceed the amount of Additional Rent paid by
Tenant for such fiscal year on account of Taxes under this
Section 2.02, and further provided the rebate allocable to
Tenant shall be reduced by its allocable share of the reasonable
cost of obtaining such reduction or abatement not otherwise paid by
Tenant. The obligations of this paragraph shall survive the
expiration of the Lease.
“
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share ” is calculated by
dividing the rentable square foot area of the Premises by the
rentable square foot area of the Building, as of the date of the
computation. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share is initially 37.1% for
the Office Portion and 55.7% for the entire Premises and is subject
to adjustment if the rentable square footages of the Premises
changes on account of any
- 7 -
amendment to
the Lease or the Building changes on account of any remeasurement,
reconstruction or expansion by Landlord. The Building consists of
180,039 rentable square feet, subject to adjustment pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence.
(b) “
Operating Expenses ” for the purpose of this Section

rents, services or any other incidents, benefits or measures of
real property or real property operations, then any and all of such
taxes, assessments, levies, charges and fees shall be included
within the term of Taxes, but only to the extent that the same
would be payable if the Property were the only property of
Landlord. Taxes shall also include expenses, including reasonable
fees of attorneys, appraisers and other consultants, incurred in
connection with any efforts to obtain abatements or reduction or to
assure maintenance of Taxes for any year wholly or partially
included in the term of this
- 12 -
Lease, whether
or not successful and whether or not such efforts involved filing
of actual abatement applications or initiation of formal
proceedings.
(e) Tenant
shall have the right for a period of ninety (90) days (the
“ Audit Period ”) following its receipt of
Landlord’s statement of Additional Rent due on account of
Operating Expenses to examine and copy Landlord’s books and
records concerning Operating Expenses for the calendar year covered
by such statement in the offices of the property manager or another
location reasonably designated by Landlord in the greater Boston
area, so long as Tenant pays any amount billed by Landlord on
account of Additional Rent without protest (but subject to
Tenant’s right to recover any overpayments pursuant to this
paragraph). Tenant’s audit may be conducted by its employees
or its designated accountants, provided that the accountants must
be employed on a regular fee for services basis and not on a
contingency fee basis. If, by notice to Landlord given after such
examination but during the Audit Period (which notice shall be
accompanied by documentation evidencing the results of
Tenant’s audit to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction),
Tenant disputes the amount of Additional Rent for Operating
Expenses shown on the statement, then Tenant may request that the
amount of Additional Rent for Operating Expenses for the year in
question be determined by an audit conducted by a certified public
accountant reasonably selected by both parties, provided that if
the parties are unable so to agree on an accountant within ten
(10) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, then within
twenty (20) days after Tenant’s notice is given Tenant
may submit the dispute for determination by an arbitration
conducted by a single arbitrator in the Boston Office of the
American Arbitration Association (“ AAA ”) in
accordance with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules. The
arbitrator shall be selected by the AAA and shall be a certified
public accountant with at least ten (10) years of experience
in auditing mixed use office, laboratory and research and
development buildings in the suburban Boston area. The cost of the
accountant selected by both parties, and the arbitrator, if
applicable, shall be shared equally by the parties. Tenant and each
person reviewing Landlord’s books and records or
participating in the arbitration shall agree in an instrument
prepared by Landlord that all information obtained from
Landlord’s books and records shall be kept confidential and
used only for the purpose of determining amounts properly due under
this Lease. If the Additional Rent due is finally determined to be
less than the Additional Rent paid by Tenant on account of
Landlord’s calculation of Operating Expenses, Landlord shall
either promptly refund to Tenant the difference or credit same
against Rent next due from Tenant. If the Additional Rent due was
less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Additional Rent paid by
Tenant on account of Landlord’s calculation of Operating
Expenses, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable
third-party costs of reviewing Landlord’s books and records,
but in any event not to exceed $4,000 (such amount to be increased,
but never decreased, annually in proportion to any increase in the
CPI).
(f) Operating
Expenses which are incurred jointly for the benefit of the Building
and another building or premises shall be allocated between the
Building and the other building or premises in accordance with the
ratio of their respective rentable areas calculated using a
consistent methodology, unless Landlord reasonably determines that
the other building or premises is used for a purpose materially
different than the Building or that the Operating Expense in
question results from a service provided or used in a materially
disproportionate manner, in which case the affected cost items
shall be allocated on a reasonable basis by
- 13 -
Landlord.
Landlord may elect to allocate Operating Expenses separately among
tenants with different use categories in the Building from time to
time based on such factors as the Landlord reasonably determines
(rather than on a proportionate basis based on square feet) if
Landlord reasonably determines it is necessary to fairly allocate
the Operating Expenses. If the Building and the land appurtenant
thereto are not assessed as a separate tax parcel, then real estate
taxes shall be allocated between the Building and the balance of
the tax parcel based on the factors taken into account by the
municipal tax assessor or such other reasonable method as Landlord
may elect, which may be based on the relative square footages of
the buildings and their use or may be in accordance with the ratio
of their respective fair market values . In the event of a
dispute concerning the allocation of Operating Expenses or Taxes,
then the matter shall be submitted by Landlord and Tenant for
resolution by arbitration in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 2.02(e).
Section 2.03.
Payment of Rent . The term “ Additional Rent
” shall mean all amounts due under Section 2.02 for
Operating Expenses and Taxes, and all other amounts (except Base
Rent) to be paid by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with the terms
of this Lease, including without limitation payments to Landlord
for reimbursement of any costs expended upon an Event of Default by
Tenant. The term “ Rent ” shall mean Base Rent
and Additional Rent. All payments of Rent shall be made without
set-off, deduction or offset except as expressly provided in this
Lease. All payments of Rent shall be made to the Landlord at
c/o Davis Marcus Management, One Appleton Street, Boston,
Massachusetts 02116, Attn: Larry Lenrow, or as may be otherwise
directed by the Landlord in writing, which may include a direction
to pay by wire transfer to an account specified by Landlord.
Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant’s obligation to pay
Rent shall be absolute, unconditional, and independent and shall
not be discharged or otherwise affected by any law or regulation
now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, or any other
restriction on Tenant’s use, or, except as provided in
Article 11, any casualty or taking, or any failure by Landlord
to perform or other occurrence; and, except as expressly provided
in this Lease, Tenant assumes the risk of the foregoing and waives
all rights now or hereafter existing to quit or surrender the
Premises or any part thereof, to terminate or cancel this Lease, or
to assert any defense in the nature of constructive eviction to any
action seeking to recover rent. Subject to the provisions of this
Lease, however, Tenant shall have the right to injunctive relief or
to seek judgments for direct money damages occasioned by
Landlord’s breach of its Lease covenants.
Section 2.04.
Rent from Real Property. It is intended that all Rent
payable by Tenant to Landlord, which includes all sums, charges, or
amounts of whatever nature to be paid by Tenant to Landlord in
accordance with the provisions of this Lease, shall qualify as
“rents from real property” within the meaning of both
Sections 512(b)(3) and 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) and the U.S.
Department of Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the
“ Regulations ”). If Landlord, in its sole
discretion, determines that there is any risk that all or part of
any Rent shall not qualify as “rents from real
property” for the purposes of Sections 512(b)(3) or
856(d) of the Code and the Regulations, Tenant agrees (i) to
cooperate with Landlord by entering into such amendment or
amendments to this Lease as Landlord reasonably deems necessary to
qualify all Rent as “rents from real property,” and
(ii) to permit an assignment of this Lease; provided, however,
that any adjustments required under this section shall be made so
as to produce the equivalent (in economic terms) Rent as payable
before the adjustment.

Section 2.05.
Security Deposit . On or before April 27, 2009, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord as security for the performance of the
obligations of Tenant hereunder a letter of credit in the initial
amount of $1,000,000 (the “ Letter of Credit Amount
”) in accordance with this Section 2.05 (as renewed,
replaced, increased and/or reduced pursuant to this
Section 2.05, the “ Letter of Credit ”).
Tenant’s failure to timely deliver the Letter of Credit to
Landlord, or increase the amount of the Letter of Credit as
required under this Section 2.05, at any time pursuant to this
Section 2.05 shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Lease, without any notice or cure period under Article 14. The
Letter of Credit (i) shall be irrevocable and shall be issued
by a commercial bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord that has an
office for presentment in the City of Waltham or City of Boston, in
the form attached as Exhibit 2.05 or such other
substantially similar form as is reasonably acceptable to Landlord,
(ii) shall require only the presentation to the issuer of a
certificate of the holder of the Letter of Credit stating that
Landlord is entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit pursuant to
the terms of this Lease, (iii) shall be payable to Landlord or
its successors in interest as the Landlord and shall be freely
transferable without cost to Landlord, any such successor or any
lender holding a collateral assignment of Landlord’s interest
in the Lease, (iv) shall be for an initial term of not less
than one year and contain a provision that such term shall be
automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless the
issuer shall, at least 45 days prior to the scheduled
expiration date, give Landlord notice of such non-renewal, and
(v) shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to Landlord. Landlord acknowledges that, as of the date
of this Lease, Bank of America is an approved issuer of the Letter
of Credit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of the Letter of
Credit for the final period shall be for a term ending not earlier
than the date sixty (60) days after the last day of the Term.
Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may be required to pledge the
proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any lender holding a collateral
assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease and agrees to
provide Landlord with such documentation as Landlord may reasonably
request, and to cooperate with Landlord as is necessary, to
evidence the consent to such pledge by the issuer of the Letter of
Credit.
(a) The
Letter of Credit Amount shall be increased by Tenant (via amendment
to the then-existing Letter of Credit or by supplying Landlord with
a replacement Letter of Credit) by the amount of $1,500,000 if
Tenant fails, at any time during the term of this Lease, to meet
the Financial Test (as hereinafter defined). The “
Financial Test ” shall mean that Tenant has
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, as determined in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied, equal to at least $50,000,000 in United States dollars.
If, at any time after the Letter of Credit is increased pursuant to
the foregoing, Tenant subsequently meets the Financial Test for
three complete calendar quarters in a row and reasonably evidences
the same to Landlord, then, provided that Tenant is not then in
default beyond applicable notice or cure periods and no Bankruptcy
Event (as defined below) is then in effect, Tenant shall be
entitled to reduce the Letter of Credit by the amount of $1,500,000
(but to an amount equal to no less than $1,000,000) until such
time, if any, that Tenant subsequently fails to meet the Financial
Test. A “ Bankruptcy Event ” shall mean that
Tenant files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be
adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, shall file any petition or
answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition,
dissolution or similar relief under any present or future federal,
state or other statute, law or regulation relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or other relief for debtors, or shall seek, or consent,
or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or
liquidator of Tenant of all or any substantial part of their
respective
- 15 -
properties, or
of the Premises, or shall make any general assignment for the
benefit of creditors; or any court enters an order, judgment or
decree approving a petition filed against Tenant seeking any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, dissolution or similar
relief under any present or future federal, state or other statute,
law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other
relief for debtors.
Landlord shall be
entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit in part or for its full
amount, as Landlord may elect (i) if an Event of Default is
then continuing (or if Tenant has failed to timely pay rent or
perform any of its other obligations under the Lease and
transmittal of a default notice or running of any cure period is
barred or tolled by applicable law), (ii) if, not less than
30 days before the scheduled expiration of the Letter of
Credit, Tenant has not delivered to Landlord a new Letter of Credit
in accordance with this Section 2.05 (which failure shall be
deemed a default without notice or cure period) or (iii) if
the credit rating of the long-term debt of the issuer of the Letter
of Credit (according to Moody’s or similar national rating
agency) is downgraded to a grade below investment rate), or if the
issuer of the Letter of Credit shall enter into any supervisory
agreement with any governmental authority, or if the issuer of the
Letter of Credit shall fail to meet any capital requirements
imposed by applicable law. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated
to, apply the amount so drawn to the extent necessary to cure an
Event of Default under the Lease and/or make any payments due to
Landlord hereunder on account of such Event of Default including
without limitation any unpaid Rent, any damages arising from a
termination of this Lease in accordance with its terms, and for any
damages arising from any rejection of this Lease in a bankruptcy
proceeding commenced by or against Tenant. Any amount drawn in
excess of the amount applied by Landlord pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence shall be held by Landlord as a
security deposit for the performance by Tenant of its obligations
hereunder. Said security deposit may be mingled with other funds of
Landlord, and no fiduciary relationship shall be created with
respect to such deposit, nor shall Landlord be liable to pay Tenant
interest thereon. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its
obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be
obliged to, apply the security deposit to the extent necessary to
cure the Event of Default and/or make any payments due to Landlord
hereunder on account of such Event of Default. After any such
application by Landlord of the Letter of Credit or security
deposit, Tenant shall reinstate the Letter of Credit to the amount
then required to be maintained hereunder, upon demand (and, upon
such reinstatement, Landlord shall return any cash security deposit
then being held by Landlord to Tenant). Within forty-five
(45) days after the expiration or sooner termination of the
Term the Letter of Credit and any security deposit, to the extent
not applied, shall be returned to the Tenant, without interest. For
purposes of this Section 2.05, an Event of Default shall also
include any default that is prevented or delayed from ripening into
an Event of Default due to Landlord’s inability to give any
required notice or the tolling of any grace or cure period caused
by any stay or injunction arising from the bankruptcy of
Tenant.
In the event of a
sale of the Property or lease, conveyance or transfer of the
Property, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the security to
the transferee (“New Landlord”) and Landlord shall
thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return
of such security; and Tenant agrees to look to the New Landlord
solely for the return of said security. The provisions hereof shall
apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security to a New
Landlord. Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or
encumber
- 16 -
or attempt to
assign or encumber the Letter of Credit or the monies deposited
herein as security, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or
assigns shall be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted
assignment or attempted encumbrance
Section 3.01.
Electricity . From and after the Commencement Date for each
Portion of the Premises, Tenant agrees to pay, or cause to be paid,
as Additional Rent, all charges for electricity consumed in the
applicable Portion of the Premises (or by any special facilities
serving the Premises). Tenant will comply with all contracts
relating to any such services. Tenant’s charges for such
utility usage shall be based upon Tenant’s actual usage as
determined by Landlord’s reading of check-meters serving the
Premises provided as part of the Finish Work. Tenant shall make
monthly payments of Additional Rent on account of electricity, in
advance, on the applicable Commencement Date and the first of each
month thereafter equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual
amount of such Additional Rent reasonably projected by Landlord,
based upon prior usage at the relevant building or as projected by
Landlord’s engineer, to be due from Tenant (pro-rated for any
partial month at the beginning or end of the term) from time to
time. Tenant’s monthly payments may be reasonably revised by
Landlord from time to time so that Tenant’s aggregate monthly
payments shall equal the Additional Rent then projected to be due
for the year in question. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a
statement showing Tenant’s actual usage of electricity based
on the reading of Tenant’s check-meters no less often than
annually. If the Additional Rent due for electricity is less than
the Additional Rent for electricity paid by Tenant on account of
Landlord’s calculation of estimated electrical charges,
Landlord shall either promptly refund to Tenant the difference or
credit same against Rent next due from Tenant. If the Additional
Rent due for electricity is more than Landlord’s calculation
of estimated electrical charges, Tenant shall pay such amount to
Landlord within 30 days following receipt of the bill
therefor. If such usage is not separately or check-metered from
time to time, such usage and billing shall be based upon the
reasonable estimate of Landlord’s consulting engineer. If
Tenant is directed by Landlord to make payments directly to the
utility company for separately metered electricity, then Tenant
shall pay such bills directly to the utility company, Tenant shall
contract directly for electric service, and shall pay all bills for
such utility service as and when due. Tenant shall pay all costs
associated with obtaining the electricity service, including costs
for equipment installation, maintenance and repair; exit fees,
stranded cost charges, and the like.
Section 3.02.
Other Landlord Services . Landlord shall provide Tenant with
access to the Premises, the Building and the parking areas serving
the Building 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, subject
to matters described in Section 20.14 and Landlord’s
reasonable security measures, and subject to Landlord’s right
to prohibit, restrict or limit access to the Building or the
Premises in emergency situations if Landlord determines, in its
reasonable discretion, that it is necessary or advisable to do so
in order to prevent or protect against death or injury to persons
or damage to property. Landlord agrees to furnish to the Premises
the services, and for the
- 17 -
periods, set
forth on Exhibit 3.02 (Tenant paying for such services
as Operating Expenses). All other services necessary for the use,
occupancy or operation of the Premises, or to maintain the same in
good condition and repair (except to the extent set forth in
Section 7.01, below), shall be provided by Tenant. In the
event of an unanticipated maintenance or repair cost that is
incurred by Landlord as an Operating Expense, Landlord may notify
Tenant upon determining the maintenance or repair is needed and, if
requested by Landlord, Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost thereof
to Landlord within thirty (30) days after request in addition
to the estimated monthly payments for Operating Expenses under
Section 2.02 and the additional payment shall be credited
against the total amount of Operating Expenses due under
Section 2.02 for the year in question. Landlord shall not be
required to provide services which exceed the capacity of the
building systems serving the Premises and shall not be required to
act (or prevented from acting) in any manner which might create
unsafe conditions, violate applicable legal requirements, or be
inconsistent with standards for the operation of comparable
institutionally-financed mixed use office, laboratory and research
and development buildings. In any event, subject to
Section 7.06 below, Landlord’s obligation to provide
such services shall be subject to interruption due to any act or
omission of Tenant (including a failure to pay for utilities),
accident, to the making of repairs, alterations or improvements
(other than those due to the willful misconduct of Landlord), to
labor difficulties, to trouble in obtaining fuel, electricity,
service or supplies from the sources from which they are usually
obtained for such building, governmental restraints, or to any
cause beyond the Landlord’s reasonable control. In the event
of any such disruption or interruption (other than an act or
omission of Tenant) prior to the time when Tenant is responsible
for providing such services, Landlord will use diligent efforts to
restore the services, or to cause the services to be restored, as
promptly as reasonably possible. In no event shall Landlord be
liable for any interruption or delay in any of the above services
for any of such causes except as provided in
Section 7.06.
Normal Building
hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and
Saturday 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., exclusive of state and federal holidays
and such other days as Landlord may reasonably designate as
Building holidays (e.g. the day after Thanksgiving).
Section 3.03.
Facilities Management Rights .
(a) So
long as an Event of Default does not then exist, Tenant shall have
the right to assume all or any portion of the on-site management
services with respect to the Building systems serving the Premises
described on Exhibit 3.03-1 commencing on a date no
earlier than the initial Commencement Date. If Tenant desires to
assume all or any portion of such on-site management
responsibilities pursuant to this Section 3.03, Tenant shall
notify Landlord in writing (a “ Facilities Management
Notice ”) at least sixty (60) days prior to the
first day of the month in which Tenant intends to assume such
management responsibilities and identify by reference to
Exhibit 3.03-1 the responsibilities to be assumed. In
connection with any such change in management, the parties shall
cooperate and coordinate with each other so as to effect a smooth
transition and transfer of information and responsibility. During
any period that Tenant is exercising its facilities management
rights pursuant to this Section 3.03, the provisions of
Exhibit 3.03-2 shall apply.
- 18 -
Tenant shall have
the right voluntarily to terminate any portion of its management
services under this Section 3.03 and to relinquish all or any
portion of such services under this Section 3.03 upon
sixty (60) days notice and may subsequently again exercise its
management rights hereunder (in whole or in part) provided that the
conditions set forth in this Section 3.03 are then satisfied
and more than twelve (12) months have elapsed following the
effective date of the termination of the applicable portion of its
management services. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s
management services pursuant to the provisions of
Exhibit 3.03-2 , then Tenant shall have no further
right to manage any portion of the Building under this
Section 3.03. In no event shall Tenant, in the exercise of its
rights under this Section 3.03, be permitted to assume the
management of areas or facilities of the Building serving tenants
other than Tenant.
(b) During
such time as Tenant is exercising its facilities management rights
pursuant to this Section 3.03, Tenant will cooperate and work
with Landlord to manage the same cooperatively with the remainder
of the Property. In all events, Tenant shall be fully responsible
for all costs and expenses of facilities management under this
Section, subject to reimbursement for capital expenditures as set
forth below. Tenant’s rights under this Section 3.03
shall be personal to the Tenant originally named hereunder. In no
event may Tenant’s facilities management rights pursuant to
this Section 3.03 be transferred to or exercised by any other
transferee.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary, so long as Tenant is
exercising its facilities management rights pursuant to this
Section 3.03, Tenant will maintain, repair and replace, at its
sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement with respect to
capital expenditures as set forth below) portions of the Building
as further described on Exhibit 3.03-1 and designated in
Tenant’s Facilities Management Notice (the “
Self-Managed Components ”) and Landlord shall, during
such period, have no obligation to maintain, repair, or replace the
Self-Managed Components. If any element of the Self-Managed
Components cannot be fully repaired or restored, and Landlord
authorizes replacement of such item or replacement, or such
replacement item is included in an Approved Budget (as defined in
Exhibit 3.03-2 ) Tenant shall replace it at
Tenant’s cost even if the benefit or useful life of such
replacement extends beyond the term of this Lease and Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for such costs to the extent that such costs
are capital expenditures that would not have been includable in
Operating Expenses payable by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord
shall reimburse Tenant for the costs set forth in the preceding
sentence by paying such costs within 30 days after receiving
Tenant’s invoice therefor. If Landlord pays costs for capital
expenditures when invoiced under this paragraph and Tenant
subsequently exercises an option to extend the term in accordance
with this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all such costs
allocable to the extension term or terms (to the extent that such
costs would have been includable in Operating Expenses payable by
Tenant) within 30 days after written request by Landlord made
at any time after Tenant exercises the applicable extension option.
Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligations under the prior two
sentences shall survive the expiration of the term.
- 19 -
Section 4.01.
Compliance with Property Insurance . The Tenant shall not
permit any use of the Premises which will make voidable any
insurance on the Property, or on the contents of said property, or
which shall be contrary to any law or regulation from time to time
established by the Insurance Services Office, or any similar body
succeeding to its powers. The Tenant shall, on demand, reimburse
the Landlord in full for its allocable share of any extra insurance
premiums caused by the particular use or manner of use of the

(measured in rentable square feet), and for no other purpose (the
“ Permitted Use ”).
“
Tenant’s ACF Share ” shall mean the percentage
of the Premises that is proportionate to the percentage of
accessory animal care facility space permitted in the Building from
time to time under applicable laws, codes and ordinances, which, as
of the date hereof, is 20%. If Tenant is then utilizing all or
substantially all of Tenant’s ACF Share, and provided that no
Event of Default is then continuing, then, following the initial
lease-up of the entire Building, upon Tenant’s reasonable
request from time to time Landlord shall allocate any then-excess
animal care facility rights at the Building (i.e. rights in excess
of Tenant’s ACF Share not then allocated to other tenants) to
Tenant as an increase in the foregoing limit so long as such use,
as increased, remains an accessory use ancillary and subordinate to
Tenant’s other activities in the Premises.

(a) Tenant
will not make or permit any occupancy or use of any part of the
Premises for any hazardous, offensive, dangerous, noxious or
unlawful occupation, trade, business or purpose or any occupancy or
use thereof which is contrary to any law, by-law, ordinance, rule,
permit or license, and will not cause, maintain or permit any
nuisance in, at or on the Premises; provided, however, that the
Permitted Use, if conducted in conformance with the terms of this
Lease, all applicable legal requirements, and customary standards
for first class office, laboratory and research and development
space, shall not be deemed to be a hazardous, offensive, dangerous,
or noxious occupation, trade, business or purpose or a nuisance
unless it adversely affects tenants or occupants outside the
Premises. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any foreclosure or
going out of business auctions, or sheriff’
|
