W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, by that certain Lease dated July 23, 2014, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease, dated as of April 15, 2015, as further amended by that certain Second Amendment to Lease (the “Second Amendment”) dated as of July 22, 2015, as affected by Subordination Agreement dated July 23, 2014 (collectively, the “Overlease”). MIT 650 MAIN STREET LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (the “Overlandlord”), leased to Sublandlord, as Tenant, approximately 270,056 square feet of rentable area on the B3 level, the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th floors, and the 2-level skywalk (the “Main Premises”) of the building located at 610 Main Street North, Cambridge, Massachusetts (the “Building”), at the rent and upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Overlease; and
WHEREAS, Subtenant desires to sublet from Sublandlord all of the Main Premises located on the 6th and 7th floors of the Building, subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, for themselves, their permitted successors and assigns, mutually covenant and agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms, Terms with initial capital letters not defined in this Sublease shall have the meanings set forth in the Overlease.
2.Subleased Premises, (a) Sublandlord does hereby sublease to Subtenant, and Subtenant does hereby sublease from Sublandlord, for the Term (as defined below) and upon the conditions hereinafter provided, the entirety of the sixth (6th) and seventh (7th) floors of the Main Premises, deemed to contain 65,376 square feet of rentable area, as more particularly shown onSchedule 2(a), attached hereto (the “Subleased Premises”). In addition, Tenant shall be entitled to the appurtenant right, in common with others, to utilize a percentage of the control area (the “Control Area”) currently located on the first (1st) floor of the Main Premises (which consists of approximately 348 square feet as shownon Schedule 2(b)) designated by Sublandlord in writing from time to time based upon Sublandlord’s reasonable determination of the volume of flammable materials used by Subtenant in the operation of its business at the Subleased Premises and the volumes determined by Sublandlord that are necessary to satisfy the requirements of other subtenants and Sublandlord (but in any event, Subtenant’s share of the Control Area shall not exceed 23.44%). Sublandlord shall have the right to separately demise, whether by use of storage cages or otherwise, the Control Area and in any event use of the Control Area by Subtenant shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease as if it were part of the Subleased Premises.
A-2
(b) Subtenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use in common with Sublandlord and any other future subtenants, as the case may be, those portions of the Main Premises and, subject to the terms of the Overlease, Common Areas under the Overlease, that are provided, from time to time, and subject to the terms of the Overlease, for use in common by Sublandlord, Subtenant and such other subtenants of the Main Premises (such areas, together with such other portions of the Main Premises now or hereafter designated by Sublandlord, in its discretion, including certain areas designated for the exclusive use of certain subtenants, or to be shared by Sublandlord and certain subtenants, are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas”).

The manner in which the Common Areas are maintained and operated shall be at the sole discretion of Sublandlord and the use thereof shall be subject to such rules, regulations and restrictions as Sublandlord may reasonably make from time to time, provided that (a) Subtenant is provided with prior written notice of such rules and regulations, (b) they are not enforced in a discriminatory manner against Subtenant, and (c) to the extent such rules and regulations conflict with the terms of this Sublease, the terms of this Sublease shall govern (the “Rules and Regulations”). Sublandlord reserves the exclusive use of (a) the video wall in the common lobby of the Building, (b) the reception and security desk in the common lobby of the Building and (c) two (2) passenger elevators and the main lobby exclusively servicing the remainder of the Main Premises. Sublandlord reserves the right to close temporarily, make alterations or additions to, or change the location of elements of the remainder of the Main Premises and the Common Areas and may temporarily close the Main Premises in the event of casualty or other matters described in Section 27 of this Sublease, or if Sublandlord reasonably deems it necessary in order to prevent damage or injury to person or property provided, however, the Sublandlord shall use reasonable efforts to give Subtenant as much advance notice of such alteration, addition, change or closure as is practicable.
3.Term; Extension Term, (a) The term of this Sublease (the “Term”) shall commence on the date (the “Commencement Date”) that is the last to occur of (i) the date this Sublease is fully executed by Sublandlord and Subtenant, (ii) the date Overlandlord consents to this Sublease in compliance with and pursuant toSection 25 hereof, or (iii) the earlier to occur of February 1, 2017 or the date Sublandlord delivers possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant with the Subleased Premises Work substantially completed in accordance with the Work Letter attached asSchedule 4(b) and shall end at 11:59 P.M. (local time at the Building) on the date (the “Expiration Date”) that is the last day of the tenth (10th) Sublease Year (as defined below), or on such earlier date upon which said Term may expire or be terminated pursuant to any of the conditions or limitations or other provisions of this Sublease or pursuant to law.
(b) It is presently anticipated that the Subleased Premises will be delivered to Subtenant in accordance withSection 4(b) on or about February 1, 2017 (the “Estimated Delivery Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Sublandlord does not deliver possession of the Subleased Premises by the Estimated Delivery Date, Sublandlord shall not have any liability
A-3
whatsoever, and this Sublease shall not be rendered void or voidable as a result thereof; provided, however, that Subtenant shall have the remedies expressly set forth in the Work Letter attached asSchedule 4(b).
(c) Promptly after the Commencement Date is determined, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall execute an acknowledgement thereof in the form attached hereto asSchedule 3(c)
(d) Subject to the rights of Sublandlord as described in subparagraph (g) below, provided (i) Subtenant has not entered into subleases, licenses relating to use or occupancy of space or other occupancy agreements (other than Permitted Transfers, as defined in Section 19(a) below) that are then effective for more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the Subleased Premises in the aggregate, and (ii) there is no Event of Default (1) as of the date of the Extension Notice, and (2) at the commencement of the Extension Term, Subtenant shall have the option to extend the Term for one (1) additional term of five (5) years (the “Extension Term”), commencing as of the expiration of the Term. Subtenant must exercise such option to extend by giving Sublandlord written notice (the “Extension Notice”) on or before the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term,time being of the essence.Upon the timely giving of such notice, the Term shall be deemed extended upon all of the terms and conditions of this Sublease, except that Base Rent during the Extension Term shall be calculated in accordance with subparagraph (e) below, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to construct or renovate or to pay for any improvements to the Subleased Premises in connection with the Extension Term, and Subtenant shall have no further option to extend the Term. If Subtenant fails to give timely notice, as aforesaid, Subtenant shall have no further right to extend the Term. Notwithstanding the fact that Subtenant’s proper and timely exercise of such option to extend the Term shall be self-executing, the parties shall promptly execute an amendment hereto reflecting such Extension Term after Subtenant exercises such option. The execution of such sublease amendment shall not be deemed to waive any of the conditions to Subtenant’s exercise of its rights under thisSection 3(d).
(e) The Base Rent during the Extension Term (the “Extension Term Base Rent”) shall be determined in accordance with the process described hereafter. During the first Sublease Year of the Extension Term, Extension Term Base Rent shall be the greater of (i) the fair market rental value of the Subleased Premises as of the commencement of the Extension Term as determined in accordance with the process described below, for renewals of combination laboratory and office space in the East Cambridge/Kendall Square area of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, with the length of the Extension Term, the credit standing of Subtenant and all other relevant factors to be taken into account (the “FMV”), or (ii) Base Rent for the last Lease Year of the Term, increased by 3% (the “Adjusted Extension Term Rent”). Extension Term Base Rent shall be increased on each anniversary of the commencement of the Extension Term by 3% (on a cumulative basis). Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Extension Notice (but in no event earlier than the date that is eleven (11) months prior to the commencement of the Extension Term), Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a written notice of its good faith determination of the FMV for the Extension Term, if Sublandlord determines that the FMV is greater than the Adjusted Extension Term Rent. (If Sublandlord determines that the Adjusted Extension Term Rent exceeds the FMV, Sublandlord’s notice to Subtenant shall so state and the Extension Term Base Rent shall be equal to the
A-4
Adjusted Extension Term Rent.) Subtenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, notify Sublandlord in writing (“Subtenant’s Response Notice”) whether (x) Subtenant accepts Sublandlord’s determination of the FMV, (y) Subtenant rejects Sublandlord’s determination of FMV and elects to submit the matter to arbitration, or (z) Subtenant rescinds its Extension Notice. If Subtenant fails timely to deliver Subtenant’s Response Notice, Subtenant shall be deemed to have rescinded its Extension Notice. If Subtenant’s Response Notice is rescinded or if Subtenant is deemed to have rescinded its Extension Notice, then the provisions of thisSection 3(d) shall terminate and Subtenant shall have no further rights hereunder.
(f) If and only if Subtenant’s Response Notice is timely delivered to Sublandlord and indicates both that Subtenant rejects Sublandlord’s determination of the FMV and desires to submit the matter to arbitration, then the FMV shall be determined in accordance with the following procedure:
(i) Each of Subtenant and Sublandlord shall choose an MAI certified commercial real estate appraiser having at least ten (10) years’ experience in the appraisal of office and research laboratory buildings in the East Cambridge/Kendall Square area;
(ii) The appraisers selected in accordance with “(i)” above shall select a third appraiser who is an MAI certified appraiser with at least ten (10) years’ experience in the appraisal of office and research laboratory buildings in the East Cambridge/Kendall Square area;
(iii) The selections shall be completed no later than twenty-one (21) days after Subtenant’s notice disputing Sublandlord’s FMV. If any selection is not made within the 21-day time period, either party may petition the Boston office of the American Arbitration Association to make the selection;
(iv) Within thirty (30) days after their appointment, the appraisers shall determine the FMV for the Subleased Premises for the Extension Term, and shall notify Subtenant and Sublandlord of such determination within seven (7) days, which determination shall be final and binding upon Subtenant and Sublandlord. If the appraisers are unable to agree upon the FMV, the FMV will be deemed to be the average of the FMVs proposed by the appraisers, except that (i) if the lowest proposed FMV is less than 90% of the second to lowest proposed FMV, the lowest proposed FMV will automatically be deemed to be 90% of the second to lowest proposed FMV and (ii) if the highest proposed FMV is greater than 110% of the second to highest proposed FMV, the highest proposed FMV will automatically be deemed to be 110% of the second to highest proposed FMV.
(v) Sublandlord and Subtenant shall each pay the cost of their own appraisers and one-half (1/2) of the third appraiser.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord shall have the right to reject Subtenant’s exercise of its extension option by providing written notice of such rejection to Subtenant no later than eleven (11) months prior to the commencement of the Extension Term, if Sublandlord desires to utilize the Subleased Premises for its own purposes (including without limitation the use of the Subleased Premises by an affiliate of Sublandlord or an entity in which Sublandlord has an ownership, investment, or shared research interest). In the event that
A-5
Sublandlord rejects Subtenant’s exercise of its extension option, the Term shall expire on the originally scheduled Termination Date pursuant to the provisions of this Sublease and Subtenant’s Extension Notice shall be of no force and effect.
4.Condition of Subleased Premises.
(a) Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby hires from Sublandlord, the Subleased Premises, upon and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, in its “as is,” “where is,” “with all faults” condition existing on the date hereof, subject to the completion of Landlord’s Base Building Work (as it may be affected by the Subleased Premises Work) and the Subleased Premises Work (as defined inSection 4(b) below) as provided herein but without requiring any other Alterations (as defined below), improvements, repairs or decorations to be made by Sublandlord or at Sublandlord’s expense, either at the time possession is given to Subtenant or during the entire Term of this Sublease, or any extension thereof, except for the performance of Subleased Premises Work as provided in the Work Letter referenced inSection 4(b), below , and without any requirement or obligation of Sublandlord to reimburse Subtenant or provide any allowance for any improvements, repairs, decorations, painting or carpeting, except as set forth in such Work Letter. In connection therewith, Subtenant acknowledges that it has been given adequate time to examine the Subleased Premises, and that, except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, no representation or warranty, either express or implied, written or oral, has been made by Sublandlord with respect to the Building and Land or the suitability of the Subleased Premises for any use or purpose by Subtenant.
(b) The initial tenant improvements to the Subleased Premises (the “Subleased Premises Work”) shall be performed by Overlandlord pursuant to the provisions ofSchedule 4(b), attached (the “Work Letter”). Sublandlord shall deliver possession of the Subleased Premises to the Subtenant on the Commencement Date broom clean, free of occupants, in compliance with all Legal Requirements (as defined below) applicable to the Subleased Premises and Permitted Use generally (as opposed to Subtenant’s particular use).

For the purposes of this Sublease, the first “Sublease Year” shall be defined as the period commencing on the Commencement Date and ending on the last day of the month in which the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date occurs; provided, however, that if the Commencement Date occurs on the first day of a calendar month, then the first Sublease Year shall expire on the day immediately preceding the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date. Thereafter, “Sublease Year” shall be defined as any subsequent twelve (12) month period during the Term.
(b) If the obligation of Subtenant to pay rent hereunder begins on a day other than on the first day of a calendar month, rent from such date until the first day of the following calendar month shall be prorated at the per diem rate of the monthly installment for each day payable in advance based on the number of days of such month within the Term. The Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent and any other charges herein reserved or payable by Subtenant hereunder (collectively, “Rent”) shall be paid to Sublandlord at the following address:
Pfizer Inc.
c/o Cushman and Wakefield of Florida, Inc.
12802 Tampa Oaks Blvd, Suite 330
Temple Terrace FL 33637
Attention: Lease Administration
or at such other place as Sublandlord may designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States without demand therefor and without deduction, setoff or abatement whatever, except as expressly provided in this Sublease (or pursuant to any provision of the Overlease that is expressly incorporated into this Sublease). Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of Subtenant to pay Rent under this Sublease shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements.
(c) In the event that any installment of Rent is not received by Sublandlord within five (5) days of the date due, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord an administrative fee equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue payment; provided, however, that if Subtenant is late in the payment of Rent more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period, thereafter such administrative fee shall be payable immediately upon the occurrence of any subsequent late payment without any grace period. In addition, unpaid Rent shall bear interest at the Default
A-7
Rate (hereinafter defined) from the date due until paid; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed as permitting Sublandlord to charge or receive interest in excess of the maximum rate then allowed by law. The term “Default Rate” means twelve percent (12%) per annum. Sublandlord shall have the right to apply payments, regardless of Subtenant’s designation, to satisfy any obligations of Subtenant hereunder, in such order and amount as Sublandlord may elect in its sole discretion. Any payment by Subtenant or acceptance by Sublandlord of a lesser amount than shall be due shall be treated as a payment on account. The acceptance by Sublandlord of a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or in a letter accompanying such a check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Sublandlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Sublandlord may have against Subtenant.
6.Additional Rent.
(a) Subtenant agrees to pay to Sublandlord, as additional rent under this Sublease, the amount of any additional rent payable by Sublandlord under the Overlease (to the extent related to Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Subleased Premises, including, without limitation, pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the Overlease. It is agreed that any amounts payable by the Sublandlord under the Overlease (including, without limitation, those payable pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the Overlease) that are not specifically attributable to either the Subleased Premises or the remainder of the Main Premises, shall be deemed attributable to the Subleased Premises and included in Additional Rent in the same proportion as the rentable area of the Subleased Premises bears to the rentable area of the Main Premises (“Subtenant’s Share”, which, for the purposes of this Sublease, the parties agreed shall be deemed to be 24.21%). For purposes of this Sublease, Operating Costs shall, in addition to those amounts payable under Section 5.2 of the Overlease, include those costs that are incurred by Sublandlord to the extent such costs would be permitted as Operating Costs had they been charged by Overlandlord. Operating Costs shall include the costs of the services provided by Sublandlord as more particularly set forth onSchedule 6(a) hereto (“Sublandlord Services”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or this Sublease, the commercially reasonable management fees incurred by Sublandlord (not to exceed 3% of gross rents from the property, plus reimbursable) in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Subleased Premises shall be included in Operating Costs and Subtenant shall pay Subtenant’s Share of the same. For purposes of this Sublease, “Additional Rent” means any and all sums (whether or not specifically designated as “Additional Rent” in this Sublease), other than Monthly Base Rent, that Subtenant is or becomes obligated to pay to Sublandlord under this Sublease.
Subtenant shall have the right to inspect, at reasonable times and in a reasonable manner, during the ninety (90) day period following the delivery of Sublandlord’s statement of the actual amount of Operating Costs, such of Sublandlord’s books of account and records as pertain to and contain information concerning such costs and expenses in order to verify the amounts thereof. Subtenant agrees that any information obtained during an inspection by Subtenant of Sublandlord’s books of account and records shall be kept in confidence by Subtenant and its agents and employees and shall not be disclosed to any other parties, except to Subtenant’s attorneys, accountants and other consultants. Any parties retained by Subtenant to inspect Sublandlord’s books of account and records shall not be compensated on a contingency fee basis. If Subtenant shall not dispute any item or items included in the determination of Operating
A-8
Expenses for a particular Sublease Year by delivering a written notice to Sublandlord generally describing in reasonable detail the basis of such dispute within sixty (60) days after the statement for such year was delivered to it, Subtenant shall be deemed to have approved such statement. During the pendency of any dispute over Operating Expenses, Subtenant shall pay, under protest and without prejudice, Subtenant’s Share of Operating Costs as calculated by Sublandlord.
(b) Subtenant agrees to pay directly to the provider of the service, all charges for steam, gas, electricity, fuel, water, sewer and other services and utilities furnished to the Subleased Premises, which charges shall be based on metering equipment installed as part of the Subleased Premises Work (without markup). If at any time during the Term, any utility service to the Subleased Premises is not separately metered and paid directly to the service provider by Subtenant, Subtenant’s usage and billing shall depend upon Sublandlord’s reading of the check meters (or, if not check metered, upon the reasonable estimate of Subtenant’s usage determined by the percentage of air flow used by Subtenant (measured through the Building energy management system)) for such service or if, Subtenant’s usage is non-determinable, based on the same proportion as Subtenant’s Share. Unless separately metered and paid directly by Subtenant, Additional Rent for utilities in the Subleased Premises may be estimated monthly by Sublandlord, based upon the estimate set forth in the preceding sentence, and shall be paid monthly by Subtenant as billed with a final accounting based upon actual bills following the conclusion of each calendar year.
(c) Subtenant shall have the right in common with others to connect to and use the emergency generator (not to exceed 3-5 watts per rentable square foot and solely for back-up power purposes), compressed air system, central vacuum, and RO Water (Type 2 or 3) system, each to be located as shown onSchedule 6(c) (collectively, the “Special Systems”) located at the Main Premises subject to the following conditions:
(i) Subtenant’s use of the Special Systems shall be at Subtenant’s sole risk to the extent permitted pursuant to Legal Requirements (Sublandlord making no representation or warranty regarding the sufficiency of the Special Systems for Subtenant’s use);
(ii) Subtenant’s use of the Special Systems shall be undertaken by Subtenant in compliance with Legal Requirements, including Environmental Laws, and Subtenant shall obtain any and all permits required in connection with Subtenant’s particular use (to the extent differing, if at all, from the designed use of such systems) and shall hold Sublandlord harmless from any resulting liability, including but not limited to, fines, penalties, and surcharges;
(iii) The actual costs to operate and maintain the Special Systems (without mark-up of any third party costs) shall be included in Additional Rent. Subtenant’s use of the Special Systems shall not exceed the capacity set forth above or otherwise Subtenant’s Share of the capacity available to other tenants (including Sublandlord) and subtenants of any such Special System;
(iv) The use of the Special Systems shall be subject to the Rules and Regulations.
A-9
(v) Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that there are no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, made by Sublandlord or otherwise with respect to the Special Systems or any services (if any) provided in the Special Systems, and Subtenant disclaims any and all such warranties.
Sublandlord may, at its sole election, add additional Special Systems to the Main Premises in the future and make the same available to all laboratory tenants, in which case such additional systems shall be treated as Special Systems hereunder if and so long as Sublandlord provides Subtenant with prior notice of the pending availability of such additional Special Systems and Subtenant elects in writing to utilize such additional Special Systems. If and to the extent that Subtenant specifically requests any service to the Subleased Premises from Sublandlord that Sublandlord is not required to provide pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, then Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for the actual costs to provide such service within 30 days following invoice from Sublandlord (Sublandlord having no obligation to provide any such services).
(d) Additional Rent payable on any basis other than usage shall be apportioned during the year in which the Term of this Sublease commences and during the year in which such Term shall end, such that Subtenant shall be obligated to pay a proportionate share of such Additional Rent for the Subleased Premises that is attributable to the number of days of the Term hereof that are included in the period of which such Additional Rent is payable by Sublandlord under the Overlease.
Sublandlord shall give Subtenant copies of all relevant statements and bills received by Sublandlord pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Overlease, together with a statement of the amount of Additional Rent, if any, which Subtenant is required to pay under this section. Subtenant shall pay Additional Rent (i) within thirty (30) days of Subtenant’s receipt of this statement or, (ii) if earlier, five (5) business days prior to the date such amounts are due under the Overlease (but in any event no less than two (2) business days after invoice on account of this clause (ii)). Subtenant shall also pay to Sublandlord, as Additional Rent, all other amounts payable by Sublandlord pursuant to the Overlease (other than Monthly Base Rent) that are attributable to the Subleased Premises and the Term of this Sublease or attributable to Subtenant or any person claiming by, through or under Subtenant or any of their respective employees, subtenants, licensees, agents, contractors and invitees (each, a “Subtenant Party”). Such amounts shall include, without limitation, charges for or related to Alterations, charges for common area janitorial and/or cleaning services, charges for common area trash removal, costs related to the loading dock dumpster and/or trash compactor, charges for common area electric and water usage, charges by Overlandlord for furnishing after-hours or excess HVAC or other utilities to the Subleased Premises, costs incurred by Overlandlord in repairing damage to the Building caused by Subtenant or any Subtenant Party to the extent required to be paid by Sublandlord under the Overlease, increased insurance premiums due as a result of Subtenant’s use and/or occupancy of the Subleased Premises, and amounts expended or incurred by Overlandlord on account of any default by Subtenant under this Sublease which gives rise to a default under the Overlease. Subtenant’s obligation to pay Additional Rent shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease. Subtenant agrees that Subtenant’s obligation to pay Rent is not dependent upon the condition of the Subleased Premises or the performance by Sublandlord of its duties or obligations hereunder (or the performance by Overlandlord of its duties or obligations under the Overlease).
A-10
7.Security Deposit.
(a) Simultaneously with the execution of this Sublease, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit (“Letter of Credit”) in the amount of $2,451,600.00 in the form attached hereto asSchedule 7(a). The Letter of Credit shall be issued by a bank satisfactory to Sublandlord and having an office in the Cities of Boston or Cambridge, Massachusetts. Subtenant shall ensure that at all times after the execution and delivery of this Sublease until forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the term of the Sublease an unexpired Letter of Credit in the amount of $2,451,600.00 shall be in the possession of Sublandlord. The Letter of Credit shall have a term ending no earlier than forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the Term and shall not be canceled unless the issuing bank delivers forty-five (45) days’ prior written notice to Sublandlord. Subtenant shall deliver to Sublandlord, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiry date of the then outstanding and expiring Letter of Credit, if any, a replacement Letter of Credit. Sublandlord shall be entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit (i) if Subtenant fails to deliver any replacement Letter of Credit as required, in which event Sublandlord shall be permitted to retain the entire proceeds of such Letter of Credit for application as a cash Security Deposit hereunder (on the terms set forth below), (ii) to cure or attempt to cure, in whole or in part, any default by Subtenant under this Sublease following any and all applicable notice and cure periods, in which event Subtenant shall replenish the amount so drawn upon demand by Sublandlord, and (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, unless Subtenant delivers to Sublandlord a replacement Letter of Credit complying with the terms of this Sublease within thirty (30) days after demand therefor from Sublandlord. Failure by the issuer to honor a draw request on the Letter of Credit shall be a default under the terms of this Sublease entitling Sublandlord to exercise its remedies hereunder. Each Letter of Credit shall be for the benefit of Sublandlord and its successors and assigns and shall entitle Sublandlord or its successors or assigns to draw from time to time under the Letter of Credit in portions or in whole upon presentation of a sight draft and statement by Sublandlord that Sublandlord is entitled to draw thereunder pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Sublease. Sublandlord shall have an unrestricted right to transfer the Letter of Credit at any time and to any successor or lender selected by Sublandlord. Subtenant shall pay any transfer commission (fee) and all other costs (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Transfer Fee”) which may be imposed by the bank issuing the Letter of Credit for the transfer of the Letter of Credit by Sublandlord. Subtenant’s failure to pay the Transfer Fee shall constitute an Event of Default, and Sublandlord shall have the right to pursue any and all remedies provided Sublandlord under this Sublease, in equity and at law.
(b) Any cash held by Sublandlord following a draw on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, and not otherwise applied towards the cure of an Event of Default (as defined below), shall be held as a cash security deposit (a “Security Deposit”) until such time as Subtenant replaces the Letter of Credit as security for the
A-11
performance by Subtenant of Subtenant’s covenants and obligations under this Sublease (at which time such cash deposit shall be returned to Subtenant within ten (10) days), it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Subtenant’s liability for damages in case of default by Subtenant. Sublandlord shall hold the Security Deposit throughout the term of this Sublease as security for the performance by Subtenant of all obligations on the part of Subtenant hereunder. Sublandlord shall have the right from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy Sublandlord may have on account thereof, to apply such deposit, or any part thereof, to Sublandlord’s damages arising from, or to cure, any Event of Default by Subtenant. Sublandlord shall return any Security Deposit then held by Sublandlord, or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, to Subtenant on the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Sublease and surrender of possession of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant to Sublandlord at such time, provided that if there is then existing an Event of Default (or any circumstance which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default), Sublandlord shall retain a portion of the Security Deposit sufficient to cure such Event of Default and shall return the remainder of the Security Deposit to Subtenant. While Sublandlord holds such deposit, Sublandlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with Sublandlord’s other funds.
(c) In the event of a sale, assignment or other transfer of Sublandlord’s interest in this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have the right to transfer the security to the transferee (“New Sublandlord”) and upon such transfer Sublandlord shall thereupon be released by Subtenant from all liability for the return of such security; and Subtenant agrees to look to the New Sublandlord solely for the return of said security. The provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security to a New Sublandlord. Subtenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Letter of Credit or the Security Deposit, and that neither Sublandlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance of the Letter of Credit or the Security Deposit.
8.Use; Access, (a) Subtenant will use and occupy the Subleased Premises solely for general office, research and development, laboratory (collectively, the “Permitted Use”), and, subject to Legal Requirements, other ancillary uses accessory to the foregoing (it being understood and agreed that no more than 3,000 square feet of rentable area located on the 7thfloor, and no other portion of the Subleased Premises, may be dedicated to a vivarium) allowed as-of-right to the extent not incompatible (in Sublandlord’s reasonable judgment) with the Building systems and general uses of the Building, and for no other purposes whatsoever.
(b) Subtenant, subject to the provisions of the Overlease and this Sublease, shall have access to the Subleased Premises twenty four (24) hours per day, three hundred sixty five (365) days per year, subject to matters described in Section 27, the requirements and rights of Overlandlord under the Overlease, and reasonable security measures and limitations on access in the event of an emergency or as necessary for the protection of persons and property. Subtenant shall be responsible for security for the Subleased Premises, which shall be coordinated with, and reasonably approved by, Sublandlord.
A-12
9.Alterations.
(a) Subtenant shall not make any alteration, improvement, decoration, or installation (collectively, “Alterations”) in or to the Subleased Premises, without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Overlandlord and Sublandlord (which consent of Sublandlord may be withheld or conditioned on the conditions applicable to Overlandlord’s approval of Alterations under the Overlease). If any Alterations are made by Subtenant without complying with the terms of the Overlease and this Sublease, or without obtaining the prior written consent of Overlandlord and Sublandlord, Overlandlord or Sublandlord may remove same, and may repair and restore the Subleased Premises and any damage arising from such removal, and Subtenant shall be liable for any and all costs and expenses incurred by Overlandlord or Sublandlord in the performance of such work. In no event shall Subtenant make any Alterations in or to the Subleased Premises if to do so would constitute a default under the Overlease. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Alterations shall not include Subleased Premises Work and Subleased Premises Work shall not have to be removed by Subtenant at the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, unless the terms of the Overlease or Overlandlord’s consent to such Subleased Premises Work require (or permit Overlandlord to require), upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Overlease or this Sublease, removal of such Subleased Premises Work.
(b) If any Alterations are consented to by Overlandlord and Sublandlord, Subtenant may have such Alterations performed in a good and workerlike manner by contractors and at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, provided that Subtenant has obtained written approval of the contractor from Overlandlord and Sublandlord. Without limiting any other requirements and conditions which may be imposed by Overlandlord and Sublandlord, such contractor shall be properly licensed, and have a financial condition, experience and past job performance satisfactory to Overlandlord and Sublandlord each in their sole discretion. The design of and plans for all Alterations undertaken by Subtenant shall also be subject to prior written approval of Overlandlord and Sublandlord in accordance with the standards set forth in the Overlease and any additional reasonable standards of Sublandlord and such Alterations shall not be commenced until such approvals are obtained. If any Alterations are consented to by Overlandlord and Sublandlord, Subtenant shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Overlease with respect to the performance of such Alterations. With reasonable notice to Subtenant, Overlandlord and Sublandlord shall at all times have the right to inspect the work performed by any contractor selected by Subtenant during normal business hours. In connection with any Alterations, Subtenant shall obtain lien waivers from any contractor or other party entitled to protection under the mechanics’ lien laws of Massachusetts with each payment made by Subtenant to such contractors or third parties and provide copies of the same to Sublandlord. Furthermore, Sublandlord may condition its consent to any Alterations that cost in excess of $100,000 on Subtenant furnishing a lien bond or other security satisfactory to Sublandlord prior to the commencement of such Alterations.
(c) Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall surrender the Subleased Premises, together with all Alterations and other improvements (including, without limitation, plumbing, lighting, electrical, HVAC, telecommunications, unless Sublandlord otherwise directs), and other items used in the operation of the Subleased Premises), subject only to reasonable wear and tear and to damage, if any, by fire or other casualty. AH
A-13
Alterations in or upon the Subleased Premises made by Subtenant shall become part of and remain in the Subleased Premises upon such expiration or termination without compensation, allowance or credit to Subtenant; provided, however, that upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, (i) in the event Subtenant makes Alterations in or to the Subleased Premises in violation of the provisions set forth in this Section 9, or (ii) if the terms of the Overlease or Overlandlord’s consent to any Alterations or the Subleased Premises Work require (or permit Overlandlord to require and Sublandlord elects to require the removal of such Alterations by notice to Subtenant given in the same manner by which Overlandlord is required to provide notice of such required removal), upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Overlease or this Sublease, removal of such Alterations, the Subleased Premises Work or any portion(s) thereof, and/or the restoration of the Subleased Premises by reason of the installation or removal of such Alterations, Subleased Premises Work or any portion(s) thereof, Subtenant shall remove said Alterations and/or Subleased Premises Work and thereafter repair all damage resulting from such removal and restore the Subleased Premises to the condition as of the date possession was delivered to Subtenant (or such other condition as required by the Overlease or Overlandlord’s consent, if applicable). If Subtenant fails or refuses to remove such Alterations and/or Subleased Premises Work or fails to repair and restore the Subleased Premises, Overlandlord or Sublandlord may cause the same to be removed, and repairs and restoration to be made, in which event Subtenant shall reimburse to the party who caused said Alterations and/or Subleased Premises Work to be removed and repairs made, the cost of such removal, repairs and restoration, together with any and all damages which Overlandlord or Sublandlord may suffer and sustain by reason of Subtenant’s failure or refusal to remove said Alterations and/or Subleased Premises Work. Subtenant shall surrender to Sublandlord all keys and combinations to locks which Subtenant is permitted to leave. If the Term of this Sublease (or any portion thereof) expires at or about the date of the expiration of the Overlease (or any portion thereof), and if Sublandlord is required under or pursuant to the terms of the Overlease to remove any Alterations and/or Subleased Premises Work, Subtenant shall permit Sublandlord to enter the Subleased Premises for a reasonable period of time prior to the expiration of this Sublease for the purpose of removing its Alterations and/or Subleased Premises Work and restoring the Subleased Premises as required. The obligations of Subtenant as provided in this paragraph shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
10.Subtenant’s Personal Property. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, Subtenant shall remove all of its furniture, furnishings and equipment, shall repair all damage resulting from such removal and all damage resulting from its use of the Subleased Premises, and shall (subject to the provisions of Section 9 above) surrender the Subleased Premises, as so required, in good condition, subject only to reasonable wear and tear and to damage, if any, by fire or other casualty. In the event Subtenant does not do so, Overlandlord or Sublandlord may, at its option, remove the same (and repair any damage occasioned thereby and restore the Subleased Premises as aforesaid) and dispose thereof, or warehouse the same, and Subtenant shall pay the reasonable cost of such removal, repair, restoration, delivery or warehousing to Sublandlord, or Sublandlord may treat such property as having been conveyed to Sublandlord, with this Sublease constituting a bill of sale therefor, without further payment or credit by Sublandlord to Subtenant. All personal property in or about the Subleased Premises owned by Subtenant or any other party shall be at the risk of Subtenant only, and Sublandlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage thereto or theft thereof, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord. The obligations of Subtenant as provided in this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
A-14
11.Terms of Overlease.
(a) Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Overlease are incorporated herein by reference and hereby made a part of and are superior to this Sublease, provided that in construing such terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of the Overlease as incorporated herein, the term “Landlord” as used in the Overlease shall refer to Sublandlord hereunder and its successors and assigns; the term “Tenant” as used in the Overlease shall refer to Subtenant hereunder; and the term “Premises” shall refer to the Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall be obligated, however, to pay only the Rent, Letter of Credit and Security Deposit provided for in this Sublease and not the amounts of rent, rental escalations and security deposit, if any, provided to be paid by Sublandlord under the Overlease. In addition, any provisions in the Overlease allowing or purporting to allow Sublandlord any rent concessions or abatements or construction or improvements allowances, or granting Sublandlord any option or right to expand the Main Premises, extend the term of the Overlease or any other option, shall not apply to this Sublease, except that Subtenant shall receive the benefit of any abatement received by Sublandlord under Section 9.6(b) of the Overlease, to the extent that any Affected Portion includes the Subleased Premises.
In addition, the following provisions of the Overlease shall not be applicable to this Sublease: Sections 1.2, 1.4(c), 5.2(1), 9.6(b) (except to the extent any Affected Portion includes the Subleased Premises), 12.1, Sections 12.3, 13.2, 13.7, 14.1(e), 14.2(b), 15.2(b) 15.2(c), 20.9(b), 25.15, the right to record a Notice of Lease pursuant to Section 1.3, any rights in Parking Spaces under Section 1.4(b) except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, Articles 3 (except to the extent expressly incorporated herein with respect to the Subleased Premises Work) and 6, the last paragraph of Section 10.2, the provisions of Section 11.1 and the remainder of the Overlease applicable to Permitted Alterations, clause (i) of Section 15.5, the last two sentences of Section 17.8, any rights provided to Sublandlord with respect to Permitted Transfers and Working Partnerships, generally, and Sections 3, 5, or 7 of the Second Amendment.
(b) As between the parties hereto, Subtenant, with respect to the Subleased Premises, hereby assumes all of the obligations of Sublandlord, as Tenant, under the Overlease, including, without limitation, all defense, indemnification and hold harmless obligations, and Subtenant shall perform all such obligations so assumed for the benefit of both Sublandlord and Overlandlord with respect to this Sublease, the Subleased Premises and the Term hereunder. Subtenant shall not commit any act or omission which would violate any term or condition of the Overlease. To the extent practicable, Subtenant shall perform affirmative covenants which are also covenants of Sublandlord under the Overlease at least five (5) business days prior to the date when Sublandlord’s performance is required under the Overlease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subtenant shall be responsible for all maintenance, repairs and replacements to the Subleased Premises and its equipment to the extent Sublandlord is obligated to perform the same under the Overlease, and Subtenant shall comply with any and all local, state and federal laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, including but not limited to, Environmental Laws (defined below), building and zoning laws, ordinances and regulations,
A-15
laws, rules, orders, and regulations of all applicable governmental authorities and, without limitation, all other “laws, “Legal Requirements” and the like however defined in the Overlease (collectively, “Legal Requirements”) applicable to the Subleased Premises or to Subtenant’s particular use or manner of use thereof or of the Building and land of which the Subleased Premises are a part, including laws governing handicapped access or architectural barriers. In the event Subtenant desires to take any action and the Overlease would require Sublandlord to obtain the consent of Overlandlord before undertaking any such action of the same kind, Subtenant shall not undertake the same without the prior written consent of Sublandlord and Overlandlord, and Sublandlord may condition its consent upon the receipt of Overlandlord’s consent to same. Sublandlord shall have all of the rights and remedies of Overlandlord under the Overlease as against Subtenant.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Sublandlord does not assume any obligation to perform the provisions of the Overlease to be performed by Overlandlord (including, without limitation, the provision or performance of utilities, services, improvements, allowances, maintenance or repairs) and Sublandlord is not making the same representations and warranties, or agreements to indemnify, defend or hold harmless, if any, made by Overlandlord in the Overlease. Sublandlord shall not be liable to Subtenant for any default, failure or delay on the part of Overlandlord in the performance or observance by Overlandlord of any of its obligations under the Overlease, nor shall such default by Overlandlord affect this Sublease or waive or defer the performance of any of Subtenant’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent that such default by Overlandlord excuses performance of Sublandlord under the Overlease. Sublandlord shall reasonably cooperate with Subtenant, at no cost to Sublandlord, in seeking to obtain the performance of Overlandlord pursuant to the Overlease. However, such cooperation shall not require Sublandlord to litigate or pursue other proceedings. Subtenant shall not receive any abatement of Rent under this Sublease because of Overlandlord’s failure to perform any of its obligations under the Overlease, except that if Sublandlord receives an abatement of rent from Overlandlord relating to the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall receive a proportionate benefit of such abatement of rent to the extent same is allocable to Rent payable hereunder.
(d) Sublandlord represents and warrants that it has provided Subtenant with a true and correct redacted copy of the Overlease (including all amendments and other agreements affecting Sublandlord’s occupancy) attached to this Sublease asSchedule 32, and Subtenant represents and warrants that it has reviewed the same, and that it is familiar with the contents thereof. Subtenant further acknowledges and understands that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that the Overlease is terminated for any reason, this Sublease shall also be automatically and simultaneously terminated (except as may otherwise be provided in Overlandlord’s consent), and thereupon Subtenant shall vacate and surrender the Subleased Premises in accordance with all terms of the Overlease and this Sublease.
(e) If the Overlease terminates, this Sublease shall terminate (except as may otherwise be provided in Overlandlord’s consent) and the parties shall be relieved of any further liability or obligation under this Sublease other than any obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Sublease by its terms; provided, also, that if the Overlease terminates as a result of a default or breach by Subtenant under this Sublease, then Subtenant shall be liable to Sublandlord for the damages suffered as a result of such termination. If the Subleased Premises are damaged or destroyed and Overlandlord exercises any option Overlandlord may have to
A-16
terminate the Overlease, this Sublease shall terminate as of the date of the termination of the Overlease. If the Overlease gives Sublandlord any right to terminate the Overlease in the event of the partial or total damage, destruction, or condemnation of the Main Premises or the building or project of which the Main Premises are a part, the exercise of such right by Sublandlord shall not constitute a default or breach hereunder, and upon such exercise this Sublease shall also be automatically and simultaneously terminated and thereupon Subtenant shall vacate and surrender the Subleased Premises in accordance with all terms of the Overlease and this Sublease and thereafter the parties shall be relieved of any further liability or obligation under this Sublease other than any obligation that expressly survives a termination of this Sublease by its terms.
12.Casualty; Eminent Domain. In the event of a fire or other casualty affecting the Building or the Subleased Premises, or of a taking of all or a part of the Building or Subleased Premises under the power of eminent domain: (i) Sublandlord shall not have any obligation to repair or restore the Subleased Premises or any Alterations or personal property; (ii) Subtenant shall be entitled only to a proportionate abatement of Monthly Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges to the extent Sublandlord receives a corresponding abatement of rent under the Overlease during the time and to the extent the Subleased Premises are unfit for occupancy for the purposes permitted under this Sublease and not occupied by Subtenant as a result thereof; (iii) Subtenant shall not, by reason thereof, have a right to terminate this Sublease unless the Overlease shall be terminated; and (iv) Sublandlord reserves the right to terminate the Overlease and this Sublease in connection with any right granted to it under the Overlease whether or not the Subleased Premises is damaged or the subject of a taking. In the event Overlandlord or Sublandlord exercises the right to terminate the Overlease as the result of any such fire, casualty or taking, Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant with a copy of the relevant termination notice and this Sublease shall terminate on the date upon which the Overlease terminates. If the Subleased Premises or any part of the Main Premises necessary for the use and enjoyment of the Subleased Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty, then either Sublandlord or Subtenant shall have the right to terminate this Sublease upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other if the estimated time to complete restoration (as set forth in the Overlandlord’s Restoration Estimate described in the Overlease) exceeds twelve (12) months.
13.Holdover. In the event Subtenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Subtenant is in possession of the Subleased Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease, then Subtenant, at Sublandlord’s option, shall be deemed to be occupying the Subleased Premises at sufferance at a Monthly Base Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Monthly Base Rent in effect prior to expiration or termination, and shall otherwise remain subject to all of the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Sublease insofar as the same are applicable to a tenancy at sufferance, including, without limitation, the payment of all Additional Rent and all other amounts due from Subtenant to Sublandlord hereunder. No holding over by Subtenant after the expiration or termination of this Sublease shall be construed to extend or renew the Term or Extension Term, as the case may be, or in any other manner be construed as permission by Sublandlord to holdover. Subtenant shall indemnify and hold Sublandlord harmless from and against any and all damages (actual, consequential or otherwise), losses, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and including, without limitation, any holdover rent, additional rent, penalties and damages under the Overlease arising out of a holdover under this Sublease, incurred by Sublandlord arising out of or in any way attributable to such holding over and/or failure to surrender and deliver the Subleased Premises
A-17
in the condition required by this Sublease on the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Sublease; provided, Subtenant shall not be liable for consequential, indirect or special damages unless such holdover continues for more than thirty (30) days. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Sublandlord to any holding over. Subtenant’s obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease.
14.Events of Default; Remedies.
(a) Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Sublease:
(i) Subtenant fails to pay when due Rent or any other amount due hereunder;provided, however, on the first (1st) occasion with respect to any such failure during any Sublease Year, Sublandlord shall furnish Subtenant with written notice of such failure and permit Subtenant a three (3) business day period to cure such failure;
(ii) Subtenant fails to perform or observe any other covenant or agreement set forth in this Sublease and such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof, unless the default cannot be cured with reasonable diligence within such period and Subtenant commences and diligently proceeds with rectifying such default hereunder and completes the cure of such default within thirty (30) days following Subtenant’s receipt of the original written notice of such default;
(iii) the default or non-performance of any other obligation, covenant or agreement of Subtenant hereunder which, if it remains uncured would result in an event of default of Sublandlord under the Overlease, and such event is not cured at least five (5) business days in advance of the time period required for a cure thereof under the Overlease;
(iv) the institution in a court of competent jurisdiction of proceedings for reorganization, liquidation, or involuntary dissolution by Subtenant, or for
(v) its adjudication as a bankrupt or insolvent, or for the appointment of a receiver of the property of Subtenant, provided that proceedings are not dismissed, and any receiver, trustee or liquidator appointed therein is not discharged within sixty (60) days after the institution of such proceedings; or (vi) any assignment of this Sublease or further sublet of the Subleased Premises in contravention of this Sublease or the Overlease.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Sublandlord shall have, in addition to any other rights and remedies available to it under this Sublease and/or at law and/or in equity, the following remedies:
(i) If this Sublease is terminated due to an Event of Default, then unless and until Sublandlord elects lump sum liquidated damages described in (ii) below, Subtenant covenants, as an additional cumulative obligation after any such termination, to pay punctually to Sublandlord all the sums and perform all the obligations which Subtenant covenants in this Sublease to pay and to perform in the same manner and to the same extent and at the same time as if this Sublease had not been terminated. In calculating the amounts to be paid by Subtenant pursuant to the preceding sentence Subtenant shall be credited with the net proceeds of any rent then actually received by Sublandlord from a reletting of the Subleased Premises after deducting all sums provided for in this Sublease to be paid by Subtenant and not then paid.
A-18
(ii) If this Sublease is terminated due to an Event of Default, then Subtenant covenants, as an additional cumulative obligation after termination, to pay forthwith to Sublandlord at Sublandlord’s election made by written notice to Subtenant at any time within one year after termination, as liquidated damages a single lump sum payment equal to the sum of (1) all sums provided for in this Sublease to be paid by Subtenant and not then paid at the time of such election, plus (2) the present value (calculated at the Federal Reserve discount rate or equivalent plus 2%) of the excess of all of the rent reserved for the residue of the Term over all of the fair market rent reasonably projected by Sublandlord to be received on account of the Subleased Premises during such period, which rent from reletting shall be reduced by reasonable projections of vacancies and by Sublandlord’s reletting expenses described above to the extent not theretofore paid to Sublandlord.
(iii) any and all rights and remedies of Overlandlord set forth in the Overlease in connection with a default by Sublandlord thereunder which continues after the expiration of any applicable cure period therein.
(iv) In addition, without limiting any of the foregoing, in the event Sublandlord reasonably believes that Subtenant’s failure to cure a breach under Section 14(a) above shall cause a default by Sublandlord to occur under the Overlease and Subtenant has not commenced to cure such breach within five (5) days following written notice from Sublandlord (provided that no such notice shall be required in the event of an emergency threatening life or property) or has commenced but ceased the cure of such default, Sublandlord shall specifically have the right to cure such breach or default and be reimbursed by Subtenant as Additional Rent hereunder for all out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Sublandlord in connection therewith upon demand and presentation of invoices therefor. All rights and remedies of Sublandlord herein enumerated shall be cumulative and none shall exclude any other right allowed by law or in equity and such rights and remedies may be exercised and enforced concurrently (except for the election to exercise the remedies contained in (i) or (ii) above) and whenever and as often as the occasion therefor arises.
15.Insurance. Subtenant shall obtain and maintain all insurance types and coverages as specified in the Overlease to be obtained and maintained by Sublandlord, as tenant thereunder, in amounts not less than those specified in the Overlease. Without limiting the foregoing, Subtenant shall at all times during the Sublease Term maintain in effect property policies of insurance covering all of Subtenant’s personal property and all tenant improvements, subleasehold improvements, and other alterations (including, without limitation, as such terms may be defined in the Overlease) including, without limitation, any and all Alterations under this Sublease, and any plate glass, trade fixtures, merchandise and all other personal property from time to time in or on the Subleased Premises, in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of their actual replacement cost, providing protection against all risks including Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance, together with insurance against vandalism and malicious mischief. Subtenant shall also maintain at its expense worker’s compensation insurance in the minimum amount required by law. The general liability insurance obtained by Subtenant must

All policies of insurance obtained by Subtenant shall name Overlandlord (in accordance with the Overlease) and Sublandlord and its affiliates as additional insureds therein. Subtenant’s insurance shall be primary and non-contributing to Overlandlord’s and Sublandlord’s or its affiliates’ insurance. Subtenant will deliver to Sublandlord on or before the Commencement Date or the date that Subtenant first enters the Subleased Premises and annually thereafter on the anniversary of the Commencement Date, certificates reflecting that Subtenant has obtained and is maintaining the required insurance coverages in the appropriate amounts. Anything in this Sublease to the contrary notwithstanding, Subtenant (and its affiliates) each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery, claims, actions or causes of action against the Sublandlord and Overlandlord and the officers, directors, partners, members, agents and employees of each of them, including but not limited to any loss or damage that may occur to the Subleased Premises, or any improvements therein and any personal property of Subtenant or any person in the Subleased Premises or in the Building, by reason of fire, the elements or any other cause insured against (or required to be insured against by the terms of this Sublease) under property insurance policies, regardless of cause or origin, including negligence, except in any case which would render this waiver void under law, to the extent that such loss or damage is actually recovered under such insurance policies (or would have been recovered had the insurance required by this Sublease been maintained), including any deductible or retention. Subtenant agrees to obtain, for the benefit of Overlandlord and Sublandlord (and its affiliates), appropriate waiver of subrogation rights and endorsements from its property, general liability and workers’ compensation insurer. Such required insurance shall be written by companies of recognized financial standing which are legally qualified to issue such insurance in the jurisdiction where the Building is located and all insurance must be procured with carriers having an A.M.

A-20
each case obtaining the prior written consent of Subtenant, which consent may be withheld in Subtenant’s sole discretion so long as Subtenant is not in default of this Sublease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. Sublandlord will not suffer to be done, or omit to do, any act which may result in a violation of or a default by Sublandlord under the Overlease which causes the Overlease to be terminated or forfeited by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture reserved or vested in Overlandlord under the Overlease.
17.Waiver of Claims and Indemnification. Subtenant hereby releases and waives any and all claims against Overlandlord and Sublandlord and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, agents, affiliates and employees (the “Indemnitees”) for injury or damage to person, property or business sustained in or about the Building or the Subleased Premises by Subtenant other than by reason of negligence or willful misconduct of Overlandlord or Sublandlord and except in any case which would render this release and waiver void under applicable law.

Without limiting the foregoing obligation, and notwithstanding anything in the Overlease to the contrary, Subtenant covenants to Sublandlord that, except as permitted by Section 18(b) below, no Hazardous Materials (as defined herein) will be introduced by Subtenant, its agents, invitees, servants or employees into, on, under, or around the Subleased Premises, other than (A) those normally utilized in an office environment, including, but not limited to, Hazardous Materials which may be contained in cleaning solutions or products utilized in photostatic copying and other office machines, and (B) Subtenant’s Hazardous Materials, and then only so long as such materials are utilized, stored or present on the Subleased Premises in a manner consistent with the instructions of the manufacturer of such materials and in a manner and quantity that do not violate any Environmental Laws (as defined herein) or provisions of the Overlease (including without limitation any such provisions that require Sublandlord to obtain the prior written consent of Overlandlord). To the extent not Sublandlord’s obligation under this Sublease, Subtenant shall
A-21
be responsible for assuring that all laboratory uses are adequately and properly vented in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, and then only so long as such materials are utilized, stored or present on the Subleased Premises in a manner consistent with the instructions of the manufacturer of such materials and in a manner and quantity that do not violate any Environmental Laws (as defined herein) or provisions of the Overlease and, in all events, in strict compliance with all Environmental Laws and requirements of the Overlease. For purposes hereof, “Subtenant’s Hazardous Materials” shall mean all Hazardous Materials brought, kept, used or disposed of by Subtenant at, in or on the Subleased Premises for the Permitted Use, and those Hazardous Materials listed in Subtenant’s submissions concerning the Subleased Premises to any governmental authorities including without limitation the City of Cambridge Fire Department; provided, however, that in no event shall Subtenant include in such submissions more than Subtenant’s Share of the quantity and/or types of any Hazardous Materials permitted by Environmental Laws in the entire Building.

Subtenant shall be responsible for obtaining its own generator identification number under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, if needed to comply with Environmental Laws, and for complying with all of the applicable requirements thereof.
(b) Except as permitted in subparagraph (a) above, Subtenant shall not cause or permit any other Hazardous Material to be used, stored, generated, transported or disposed of on, at or in or about the Subleased Premises by Subtenant or the Subtenant Parties without first obtaining Sublandlord’s written consent. If any Hazardous Materials that used, stored, generated, transported or disposed of by Subtenant or the Subtenant Parties on, at, in or about the Subleased Premises result in contamination of the Subleased Premises or any other property, or if the Subleased Premises or any other property become the subject of an Environmental Claim (as defined herein) relating to Subtenant’s or any Subtenant Party’s use, occupation, or operation of the Subleased Premises or to Subtenant’s use, storage, generation or disposal of Hazardous Materials in any manner during the Term, Subtenant shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnitees from and against: (i) any and all actions, claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities or losses (including, without limitation, a decrease in value of the Subleased Premises, damages arising out of any loss or restriction of rentable or usable space, or any damages caused by adverse impact on marketing of the space), and (ii) any and all sums paid for settlement of claims, attorneys’ fees, consultant and expert fees arising during or after the Term and arising out of such Environmental Claim as described in this Section 18(b). This indemnification includes, without limitation, any and all costs incurred by Sublandlord or Overlandlord because of any investigation or any cleanup, removal or restoration required under applicable Environmental Laws or mandated by a federal, provincial or local agency or political subdivision. Without limitation of the foregoing, if Subtenant or any of the Subtenant Parties causes or permits the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Subleased Premises that results in an Environmental Claim, Subtenant shall promptly at its sole expense, take any and all necessary actions to return the Subleased Premises to the condition existing prior to the presence of any such Hazardous Materials on the Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall first obtain Sublandlord’s written approval for any such remedial action.
A-22
(c) Sublandlord or its agents may perform an environmental inspection of the Subleased Premises at any time during the Term, upon prior written notice to Subtenant, or without notice in the event of an emergency or other extraordinary circumstance.

Subtenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and satisfactorily remediate any environmental conditions identified by such inspection in accordance with all Environmental Laws, except for environmental conditions that can be shown to have arisen prior to the Commencement Date, the burden being on Subtenant to make such a showing to the reasonable satisfaction of Sublandlord.

A-24
otherwise, further sublet the Subleased Premises or any part thereof, or permit the occupancy of the Subleased Premises or any part thereof by anyone other than Subtenant (any and all of the foregoing, collectively a “Transfer”), without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Overlandlord and Sublandlord, which consent of Sublandlord may be withheld or conditioned in Sublandlord’s sole and absolute discretion except as expressly provided herein. If Sublandlord consents thereto, Sublandlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of Overlandlord under the Overlease; provided, however, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for any costs incurred by Sublandlord with respect thereto.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Subtenant shall have the right, without obtaining Sublandlord’s consent, to make a Transfer (each, a “Permitted Transfer”) to (i) an Affiliate, and (ii) a Successor, provided that, in the event of an assignment of Subtenant’s interest in this Sublease (except as the result of a merger), such Affiliate or Successor, as the case may be, and Subtenant execute and deliver to Sublandlord a commercially reasonable assignment and assumption agreement whereby such Affiliate or Successor shall agree to be independently bound by and upon all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Sublease on the part of Subtenant to be performed. Subtenant shall deliver such assignment and assumption agreement to Sublandlord prior to the effective date of such Transfer unless Subtenant is contractually or legally prohibited from doing so, in which event such agreement shall be delivered to Sublandlord within ten (10) days after the effective date thereof. For the purposes hereof, an “Affiliate” shall be defined as an entity that is controlled by, is under common control with, or which controls Subtenant. For the purposes hereof, a “Successor” shall be defined as an entity into or with which Subtenant is merged or with which Subtenant is consolidated or which acquires all or substantially all of Subtenant’s stock or assets, or any other corporate reorganization of Subtenant, provided that the surviving entity shall have a net worth and other financial indicators at least as good as Subtenant’s as of the date that is three months prior to such event. In addition, occupancy of less than 10% of the Subleased Premises by companies, firms or other entities (each, a “Working Partnership”) (i) who are members of a group with whom Subtenant has a contractual or other relationship providing for cooperative or collaborative research or development work, who are or typically would be located by Subtenant in one of its facilities, and/or (ii) in which Subtenant has a beneficial interest and which are actively engaged in research activities using technology, techniques and/or equipment developed by Subtenant, shall not constitute a Transfer for the purposes of this Section 19 and shall be permitted without Sublandlord’s consent (and Sublandlord’s recapture rights provided in Section 19(b) below shall not apply), but Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with prior written notice thereof (which notice shall include the number of square feet in occupancy by such entities and such other information reasonably required for financing, insurance and other risk management purposes, but which notice may otherwise be limited in detail to the extent required by applicable confidentiality agreements).
Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Sublandlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to an assignment of this Sublease or a sublet of the Subleased Premises, subject to the conditions of the Overlease and this Section 19. Without limitation, it is agreed that Sublandlord’s consent to an assignment or sublet shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial condition is not reasonably adequate for the obligations such transferee is assuming in connection with the proposed Transfer; (2) the transferee’s business or reputation is not suitable for the Main Premises; (3) the
A-25
transferee is a governmental agency or occupant of the Building; (4) Subtenant is in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period; (5) any portion of the Building or the Main Premises would likely become subject to additional or different laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer; (6) Sublandlord or its leasing agent has received a proposal from or made a proposal to the proposed transferee to lease space in the Main Premises within six (6) months prior to Subtenant’s delivery of written notice of the proposed Transfer to Sublandlord, or (7) and such sublease would result in more than three (3) subleases of the Subleased Premises in the aggregate.
No Transfer shall relieve Subtenant from Subtenant’s obligations and agreements hereunder and Subtenant shall continue to be liable as a principal and not as guarantor or surety to the same extent as though no Transfer had been made. Further, no permitted Transfer and no consent by Sublandlord shall be effective unless and until any and all defaults of Subtenant under this Sublease (and, if applicable, any and all defaults of any guarantor of this Sublease or of Subtenant’s obligations) shall have been cured. If Subtenant is a partnership or a limited liability company, then any event resulting in a dissolution of Subtenant, any withdrawal or change of the partners or the members owning a controlling interest in Subtenant (including each general partner or manager, as applicable), or any structural or other change having the effect of limiting liability shall be deemed a prohibited Transfer. If Subtenant is a corporation or a partnership with a corporate general partner, then any event resulting in a dissolution, merger (subject to the provisions above), consolidation or other reorganization of Subtenant (or such corporate general partner), or the sale or transfer or relinquishment of the interest of shareholders who, as of the date of this Sublease, own a controlling interest of the capital stock of Subtenant (or such corporate general partner), shall be deemed a Transfer requiring the consent of Sublandlord.
(b) Without limiting Sublandlord’s discretion to grant or withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer, if Subtenant, except with respect to a Permitted Transfer or in connection with a Working Partnership, requests Sublandlord’s consent to assign this Sublease or sublet all or any portion of the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord shall have the option, exercisable by notice to Subtenant given within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord’s receipt of such request, to terminate this Sublease as of the date specified in such notice which shall be not less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice for the entire Subleased Premises, in the case of an assignment or subletting of the whole, and for the portion of the Subleased Premises, in the case of a subletting of a portion. In the event of termination in respect of a portion of the Subleased Premises, the portion so eliminated shall be delivered to Sublandlord on the date specified in good order and condition in the manner provided in Sections 9 and 10 hereof at the end of the Term and thereafter, to the extent necessary in Sublandlord’s judgment, Sublandlord, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, may have access to and may make modification to (but not reduce the square footage of) the Subleased Premises so as to make such portion a self-contained rental unit with access to common areas, elevators and the like. The Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be adjusted according to the extent of the Subleased Premises for which this Sublease is terminated.
20.Brokers. Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby represent and warrant to each other that it has had no dealings with any real estate broker, agent or finder in connection with the negotiation of this Sublease except Cushman & Wakefield and Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, who represented Sublandlord, and Transwestern RBJ, who represented Subtenant (together, the
A-26
“Brokers”), and that it knows of no other real estate broker, agent or finder who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Sublease. Each party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to any leasing commission or equivalent compensation alleged to be owing on account of the indemnifying party’s dealing with any real estate broker, agent or finder other than the Brokers. Sublandlord shall pay to Brokers a commission for procuring this Sublease pursuant to a separate agreement between Brokers and Sublandlord.
21.Entire Agreement; No Waiver; Modification of Sublease. This Sublease contains all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, conditions, warranties and understandings relating to the leasing of the Subleased Premises and Sublandlord’s obligations in connection therewith, and neither Sublandlord nor any agent or representative of Sublandlord has made or is making, and Subtenant in executing and delivering this Sublease is not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or statements whatsoever, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Sublease. All understandings, correspondence, negotiations and agreements, written or oral, if any, heretofore had between the parties are merged into this Sublease, which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of the parties. The failure of Sublandlord to insist in any instance upon the strict keeping, observance or performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition of this Sublease or to exercise any election herein contained shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such covenant, agreement, term, provision, condition or election, but the same shall continue and remain in full force and effect. No amendment, waiver or modification of this Sublease or any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Subtenant and Sublandlord and consented to by Overlandlord. No surrender of possession of the Subleased Premises or of any part thereof or of any remainder of the Term of this Sublease shall release Subtenant from any of its obligations hereunder unless accepted by Sublandlord in writing. The receipt and retention by Sublandlord of Rent from anyone other than Subtenant shall not be deemed a waiver of the breach by Subtenant of any covenant, agreement, term or provision of this Sublease, or as the acceptance of such other person as a tenant, or as a release of Subtenant of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions herein contained. The receipt and retention by Sublandlord of any Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition herein contained shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.
22.Quiet Enjoyment. Provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, Subtenant shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Subleased Premises against Sublandlord and all persons claiming by, through or under Sublandlord for the Term herein described, subject to the terms and conditions of this Sublease.
23.Successors and Assigns. If Subtenant shall include more than one person, the obligations of all such persons under this Sublease shall be joint and several and the provisions of this Sublease shall individually apply to each person comprising Subtenant. The obligations of this Sublease shall bind and benefit the permitted successors and assigns of the parties with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party hereto is named or referred to.
A-27

25.Overlandlord’s Consent; Default Notices. This Sublease shall be subject to and contingent upon obtaining the written consent of Overlandlord as required by Article 13 of the Overlease in form reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord and containing language acknowledging that Subtenant may include a vivarium pursuant to the terms of this Sublease. Subtenant shall (i) pay all costs, fees and charges required by Overlandlord to be paid in connection with any consent of Overlandlord required pursuant to this Sublease or the Overlease and (ii) comply, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, with any other non-monetary requirements or conditions required by Overlandlord, this Sublease or the Overlease in connection with such consent. If such Overlandlord consent, in a form meeting the requirements of this Section 25, has not been obtained by Sublandlord within sixty (60) days following the date this Sublease is executed and delivered by the parties hereto, Subtenant may, within ten (10) days thereafter, terminate this Sublease by written notice to Sublandlord whereupon Sublandlord shall return to Subtenant all sums paid by Subtenant to Sublandlord in connection with Subtenant’s execution of this Sublease unless, prior to the expiration of such ten (10) day period, Sublandlord shall
A-28
deliver the Subleased Premises in the condition required under this Sublease and shall deliver such Overlandlord’s Consent in the form and on terms reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord and Subtenant. Sublandlord shall request Overlandlord’s consent to this Sublease promptly following Subtenant’s delivery to Sublandlord of an executed version of this Sublease. Sublandlord and Subtenant agree to promptly provide the other party with any notices received from Overlandlord of a claimed default with respect to the Subleased Premises.
26.Right of Entry. Sublandlord shall have the right to enter the Subleased Premises without abatement of Rent at all reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice to Subtenant (except in emergencies when no advance notice shall be required, but notice shall be given as promptly as possible), (a) to supply any service to be provided by Sublandlord to Subtenant hereunder, (b) during the last 12 months of the Term, to show the Subleased Premises to prospective assignees and subsubtenants, (c) to inspect, alter, improve or repair the Subleased Premises and any portion of the Main Premises, and (d) to introduce conduits, risers, pipes and ducts to and through the Subleased Premises, provided that in exercising any such right, Sublandlord will cause all such conduits, risers, pipes and ducts to be placed above dropped ceilings, within walls, or below floors or in closets, to the extent reasonably practicable, but in no manner reducing the amount of usable space at the Subleased Premises to the extent practicable (and, if not practicable, only in de minimis amounts). In conducting any such activities, Sublandlord shall use reasonable efforts not to disrupt the conduct of, and to minimize any disruption of, Subtenant’s business operations; including, without limitation, using drop cloths and customary dust-control measures consistent with construction in occupied first class office space in the Kendall Square, Cambridge submarket. For each of the purposes stated above in this Section 26, Sublandlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Subleased Premises, excluding Subtenant’s vaults and safes, or special security areas.
27.Force Majeure. If Sublandlord or Subtenant is in any way delayed or prevented from performing any obligation (except, with respect to Subtenant, its obligation to timely pay Rent, any obligation set forth in the provisions hereunder pertaining to Subtenant’s maintaining insurance policies, or any holdover) due to fire, act of God, governmental act or failure to act, strike, labor dispute, inability to procure materials or any cause beyond its reasonable control whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing events, then the time for performance of such obligation shall, to the extent permitted by the Overlease, be excused for the period of such delay or prevention and extended for a period equal to the period of such delay or prevention.
28.Parking. Sublandlord agrees to make available to Subtenant, at no cost to Subtenant, as of the Commencement Date, 65 parking passes (the “Parking Passes”) for the unreserved parking of standard passenger automobiles in the parking area serving the Building (the ‘‘Parking Area”). Subtenant shall not sell, assign or permit anyone other than Subtenant’s personnel to use any of the Parking Passes except in conjunction with a Permitted Transfer under Section 19, above. Throughout the Term, Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord (or at Sublandlord’s election, directly to the parking operator) for all of the Parking Passes at the same rates and/or charges Sublandlord is obligated to pay to Overlandlord under the terms set forth in Section 1.4(b) of the Overlease; provided, however, that Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that during the first Sublease Year, the parking charge shall be Two Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars ($275) per Parking Pass per month. If, for any reason, Subtenant shall fail timely to pay the
A-29
charge for any of said Parking Passes, and if such default continues for five (5) business days after written notice thereof on more than two occasions in any one 12-month period, Subtenant shall have no further right to the Parking Passes for which Subtenant failed to pay the charge under this paragraph and Sublandlord may allocate such Parking Passes for use by other tenants or subtenants of the Premises free and clear of Subtenant’s rights under this Section 28. Subtenant’s use of any Parking Passes and the parking areas serving the Building are subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Parking Spaces under the Lease. The parking spaces that are utilized by use of the Parking Passes will be on an unassigned, non-reserved basis, shall be subject to such rules and regulations as may be in effect for the use of the Parking Garage from time to time, and may be temporarily relocated to the parking garage located at Technology Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts or such other location as is permitted as provided in Section 1.4 of the Overlease.
29.Limit of Sublandlord’s Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Sublease, neither Sublandlord, its affiliated companies nor its and their partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents, servants and contractors (collectively, the “Sublandlord Parties”), shall be liable for any losses, costs, damages or injury to person or property or resulting from the loss of use thereof sustained by Subtenant or any Subtenant Party, based on, arising out of, or resulting from, any cause whatsoever, including any due to the Building becoming out of repair, or due to the occurrence of any accident or event in or about the Building, or due to any act or neglect of Overlandlord or any tenant or occupant of the Building or any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision of this Section, Sublandlord shall not be released from liability to Subtenant for any physical injury to any person caused by Sublandlord’s negligence or willful misconduct to the extent such injury is not covered by insurance either carried by Subtenant (or such person) or required by this Sublease to be carried by Subtenant; provided that neither Sublandlord nor any Sublandlord Party shall under any circumstances be liable for any exemplary, punitive, consequential or indirect damages (or for any interruption of or loss to business). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Sublease, if Subtenant or any other Subtenant Party is awarded a judgment or other remedy against Sublandlord, the recourse for satisfaction of the same shall be limited in the aggregate in any one year during the term of the Sublease to execution against the aggregate amount of Monthly Base Rent payable in such year. No other asset of Sublandlord or any other Sublandlord Party shall be available to satisfy, or be subject to, such judgment or other remedy, nor shall any such person be held to have any personal liability for satisfaction or any claim or judgment. Except as expressly set forth in this Sublease, Subtenant shall not be liable for any consequential, indirect or special damages hereunder or damages in the nature of lost profits.
30.Waiver: Consent to Service; Venue. SUBLANDLORD, SUBTENANT, AND ANY AND ALL STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF SUBTENANT, EACH WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS SUBLEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT HEREUNDER, SUBTENANT’S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE SUBLEASED PREMISES, AND/OR ANY CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE. SUBTENANT FURTHER WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO RAISE ANY NON-COMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY SUBLANDLORD. THIS SUBLEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
A-30
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE BUILDING IS LOCATED. SUBTENANT CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ANY PLEADING RELATING TO ANY SUCH ACTION AT THE SUBLEASED PREMISES OR AT THE ADDRESS OF ITS REGISTERED AGENT OR AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 24; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL BE CONSTRUED AS REQUIRING SUCH SERVICE AT THE SUBLEASED PREMISES OR AT ALL OF THE FOREGOING ADDRESSES. SUBLANDLORD, SUBTENANT, AND ALL SUCH STOCKHOLDERS, OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF SUBTENANT EACH WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE VENUE OF ANY ACTION FILED IN ANY COURT SITUATED IN THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE BUILDING IS LOCATED, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT, CLAIM OR POWER, UNDER THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR OTHERWISE, TO TRANSFER ANY SUCH ACTION TO ANY OTHER COURT.
31.Subtenant’s Authority. Subtenant represents and warrants to Sublandlord that Subtenant is a duly organized corporation, limited liability company or partnership, is in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in the jurisdiction in which the Building is located, has the power and authority to enter into this Sublease, and that all corporate, limited liability company or partnership action, as applicable, requisite to authorize Subtenant to enter into this Sublease has been duly taken.
32.Estoppel. Sublandlord hereby represents and warrants to Subtenant that (i) the Overlease is in full force and effect; (ii) Sublandlord has no knowledge of and has received no notice from Overlandlord of default by Sublandlord under the Overlease which default remains uncured on the date hereof; (iii) to Sublandlord’s actual knowledge, neither Sublandlord nor Overlandlord is now in default under the Overlease; and (iv) a true, correct and complete copy of the Overlease (with financial and other information redacted) is attached hereto asSchedule 32.
33.Signage. Subject to reasonable limits on the number of lines on the directory Overlandlord can provide and all such additional signage in the lobby directory, Sublandlord shall direct Overlandlord to add the name of Subtenant to the lobby directory (but in any event not to exceed Subtenant’s Share of such listings) at Sublandlord’s sole cost and expense. Subject to Overlandlord’s prior written approval, Subtenant may install Building standard signage identifying Subtenant’s business at the entrance to the Subleased Premises (which may be located in the elevator lobby of any floor entirely leased by Subtenant) on each floor of the Main Premises occupied by Subtenant for the conduct of its business (and not used primarily for accessory uses such as storage and equipment installations). Subtenant shall otherwise not have the right to place any sign, banner, advertising matter or any other writing or graphics of any kind (including, without limitation, any hand-lettered advertising), and shall not place or maintain any decoration, letter or advertising matter on the glass of any window or door of the Sublandlord’s Premises without first obtaining Overlandlord and Sublandlord’s written approval.
34.No Option; No Partnership. The submission of this Sublease by Subtenant for examination does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Subleased Premises, and this Sublease shall become effective only when it is executed and delivered by Sublandlord and Subtenant and consented to in writing by Overlandlord in accordance herewith. Nothing contained in this Sublease shall be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture between Subtenant and Sublandlord, or to create any other relationship between the parties other than that of Subtenant and Sublandlord.
A-31
35.Interpretation; Governing Law. The Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Sublease are a part of this Sublease. Section and subsection headings are for convenience only, and not for use in interpreting this Sublease. If a court finds any provision of this Sublease unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain enforceable, and such unenforceable provision shall be deemed severed from this Sublease. This Sublease is for a lease of space in a building located in the State in which the Building is located and shall be construed and governed in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Building is located.
36.Utilities; Waste, (a) Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord all charges for utilities furnished to the Subleased Premises, as Additional Rent. Subtenant shall make estimated payments to Sublandlord with respect to electricity, natural gas, and water, in amounts reasonably determined by Sublandlord. Check or submetering equipment for natural gas and electricity in the Subleased Premises shall be installed as part of Subleased Premises Work, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense. In addition, Subtenant shall pay for Subtenant’s Share of any natural gas measured and billed to Sublandlord by Overlandlord on account of percentage air flow in accordance with Section 9.3 of the Overlease. Such estimated payments for electricity, gas, water and natural gas shall be billed to Subtenant no more frequently than monthly, shall be payable within 20 days following invoice, and shall be reconciled annually together with, and subject to the provisions governing, the reconciliation of Operating Costs (with reconciliations for electricity and gas being based on the reading of the aforementioned meters by Sublandlord or Overlandlord, as applicable).
(b) Subtenant shall arrange and pay for its own janitorial and trash removal services. Sublandlord shall provide a dumpster and/or trash compactor in the loading dock area for the disposal of non-hazardous and non-controlled substances, the cost of which shall be included in Operating Costs.
37.Remedies. The rights and remedies mentioned in this Sublease are in addition to, and do not deprive a party of, any other rights at law or in equity.
38.Counterparts. To facilitate execution, this Sublease may be executed in as many counterparts as may be required, and it shall not be necessary that the signature of each party, or that the signatures of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart; but it shall be sufficient that the signature of each party, or that the signatures of the persons required to bind any party, appear on one or more of such counterparts. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement.
39.Confidentiality.
(a) In connection with this Sublease, Sublandlord has delivered and/or will deliver to Subtenant from time to time certain information about the Main Premises (such information whether furnished before or after the date of this Sublease, whether oral or written, and regardless of the manner in which it is furnished, is collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Sublandlord’s Proprietary Information”).

(b) In connection with this Sublease, Subtenant may deliver to Sublandlord from time to time certain information about Subtenant (such information whether furnished before or after the date of this Sublease, whether oral or written, and regardless of the manner in which it is furnished, is collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Subtenant’s Proprietary Information”).

(g)Subleased Premises Construction Documents.
(i) Subject to Subtenant Delays, Sublandlord shall cause Overlandlord to cause the Approved Architect to deliver to Sublandlord and Subtenant for their design approval in accordance withSection 1(h) an electronic copy and four (4) full sized copies of the Subleased Premises Construction Documents (the “Subleased Premises CDs”) on or about the date set forth on the Subleased Premises Construction Schedule, which Subleased Premises CDs shall consist of a fully coordinated set of architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing construction drawings and specifications for the Subleased Premises Work. The Subleased Premises CDs shall be consistent with and constitute a logical evolution of the Approved Concept Plan except to the extent permitted pursuant toSection 1(1)below, or to the extent necessary to address Overlandlord’s, Sublandlord or Subtenant’s reasonable disapproval underSection 1 (h). Sublandlord and Subtenant shall use their good faith commercially reasonable efforts to finalize and mutually approve the Subleased Premises CDs both as to design and cost on or before the date shown on the Subleased Premises Construction Schedule.
Schedule 4(b)-2
(ii) The Subleased Premises CDs approved (or deemed approved, as provided below) as to cost and design shall be referred to herein as the “Approved SP Plans.” Sublandlord shall be responsible for assuring that Overlandlord causes the Approved SP Plans (i) to be complete and accurate, and otherwise sufficient to obtain a building permit and otherwise in compliance with all Legal Requirements and permits and approvals for the Subleased Premises Work; and (ii) to include architectural drawings and specifications and mechanical plans and specifications for Subtenant’s partition layout, reflected ceiling, telephone, data and electrical outlets, finish schedule, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system and ductwork, electrical and life safety facilities and laboratory equipment, facilities and systems.

(h)Plan Approval Process.
(i) Subtenant shall cause Subtenant’s Representative to attend, at Sublandlord’s request, weekly meetings to prepare, refine, review and discuss the design, scheduling and construction of the Subleased Premises Work, so as to produce plans for review, comments and approval or disapproval by Subtenant.
(ii) Consistent with the Subleased Premises Construction Schedule and the provisions of this Work Letter, the Approved Architect shall deliver to Overlandlord, Sublandlord, and Subtenant for their respective review and approval a proposed draft of the Subleased Premises CDs. Subtenant shall advise Overlandlord, Sublandlord and Approved Architect in writing within five (5) business days after receipt thereof if the same are unsatisfactory or incomplete in any respect, together with details of the unsatisfactory and/or omitted items and Subtenant’s proposed resolution thereof. It shall not be reasonable for Subtenant to disapprove the Subleased Premises CDs to the extent that they are consistent with or are a logical evolution of the Approved Concept Plan. Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord may reasonably disapprove any iteration of any of the plans based on Sublandlord’s reasonable conclusion that (a) one or more aspects of such plan will cause an actual delay of the substantial completion of the Additional Premises Work or Subleased Premises Work or any phase thereof or (b) Overlandlord may disapprove any iteration of any plans to the extent set forth in the Overlease. It shall not be unreasonable for Subtenant to disapprove any iteration of the Subleased Premises CDs that contains errors or omissions or is inconsistent with the Approved Concept Plan, and any such disapproval shall not constitute a Subtenant Delay. Until approved, Sublandlord and Subtenant shall confer and negotiate reasonably and in good faith to reach agreement on the Subleased Premises CDs as soon as reasonably possible and in any event, within the timeframes established therefor in the Subleased Premises Construction Schedule.
(iii) If Subtenant fails to timely respond to a request for approval or disapproval under thisSection 1(h), Sublandlord may send a notice in an envelope that conspicuously states the following in bold caps“NOTICE REQUIRING TIMELY RESPONSE” and which shall include (A) an explicit statement that such notice is a “reminder notice” as provided in thisSection 1(h) and (B) an explicit statement that the failure to respond will trigger the provisions of thisSection 1(h) for deemed approval.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Subleased Premises Total Costs shall exclude (A) Excluded Construction Costs (as defined in Section 3.4 of the Overlease), and (B) the following costs, which shall be paid by Subtenant: the cost of any of Subtenant’s personal property, including without limitation telecommunications and computer equipment and all associated wiring and cabling, any de-mountable partitions, artwork and partitions, signs and trade fixtures and the cost of any fixtures or improvements that will be removed at the end of the Term. Except to the extent constituting an Excluded Construction Cost, Subleased Premises Total Costs includes, without limitation, a prorated portion of permit fees applicable to the Additional Premises Work, the amount of the increase in the existing guaranteed maximum price construction contract with the Approved Contractor to add the scope of work to construct the Subleased Premises Work in accordance with the Final SP Plans, costs of Permitted Changes, Change Order Costs and costs of Landlord’s Changes (to the extent either of which, in the aggregate, increase the Subleased Premises Total Costs), and costs for the Approved Architect and Approved Engineers incurred by Overlandlord with respect to the Subleased Premises Work. Sublandlord shall cause Overlandlord to segregate (and separately account for) the Subleased Premises Total Costs from Total Costs under the Overlease and other phases of the Additional Premises Work as much as reasonably possible, with any costs that are shared between Tenant’s Fitout, other phases of Additional Premises Work, and the Subleased Premises Work being allocated between the projects based on rentable square feet unless another method of allocation is more appropriate. Sublandlord shall cause Overlandlord to cause Approved Contractor to keep separate books and records for the Subleased Premises Work and to allocate shared costs among the phases based on rentable square feet unless another method of allocation is more appropriate.
(j)Use of SP Contingency. To the extent the aggregate of the following costs (“SP Contingency Costs”) do not exceed the SP Contingency, such costs shall be paid out of the SP Contingency: (1) costs arising out of Landlord Changes with respect to the Subleased Premises Work; (2) the costs of any Permitted Changes with respect to the Subleased Premises Work falling within clause (A) of Section 3.2(f)(ii) of the Overlease (as incorporated herein pursuant toSection 1(1) below) which were reasonably foreseeable by Landlord, the Approved Architect or the Approved Engineers, performing their duties in a professional manner, prior to approval by Subtenant of the Approved SP Plans; (3) attorneys’ fees, experts’ fees and other costs of legal and arbitration proceedings to resolve construction disputes with respect to the Subleased Premises Work; (4) costs incurred as a consequence of construction defects with respect to the Subleased Premises Work, to the extent caused by Overlandlord, the Approved Contractor, Approved Architect or Approved Engineers or their respective employees, agents or contractors; (5) costs of the Subleased Premises Work arising out of Landlord Delays; (6) costs arising out of errors and negligent or wrongful omissions by Overlandlord, the Approved
Schedule 4(b)-4
Architect or the Approved Engineer with respect to the Subleased Premises Work; and (7) any costs or delays associated with obstructions, difficulties or conditions encountered at the site that Overlandlord, the Approved Architect or the Approved Contractor reasonably should have anticipated or verified based on the information available to them (including, without limitation, a reasonably thorough inspection of the site) prior to Subtenant’s approval of any plans for the Subleased Premises Work. Notwithstanding to the contrary set forth herein, the SP Contingency shall be included in Subleased Premises Agreed Costs only to the extent used by Overlandlord for SP Contingency Costs.
(k)Subleased Premises Agreed Costs. The amount reflected as Subleased Premises Total Costs, as such amount shall be adjusted to reflect increases or decreases in Subleased Premises Total Costs resulting from any Permitted Changes with respect to the Subleased Premises Work, Change Proposals with respect to the Subleased Premises Work approved by Subtenant in writing, Construction Force Majeure or Subtenant Delays is herein referred to as “Subleased Premises Agreed Costs.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (1) the incremental savings associated with any approved Change Requests and Change Proposals (each with respect to the Subleased Premises Work) shall be deducted from Subleased Premises Agreed Costs, and (2) to the extent the Subleased Premises Work requires changes to Landlord’s Base Building Work and Overlandlord agrees to such changes, the costs of incorporating such changes to Landlord’s Base Building Work shall be included in Subleased Premises Agreed Costs but only to such extent, and (3) the SP Contingency shall be included in Subleased Premises Agreed Costs, but only to the extent actually used by Overlandlord for the costs of the Subleased Premises Work permitted by this Work Letter as provided above.
(l)Changes.
(i) As of the date hereof, for all purposes under the Sublease, “Permitted Changes” shall mean (A) non-discretionary field changes (with respect to the Subleased Premises Work) required by governmental authorities, and (B) immaterial field changes.
(ii) Overlandlord, Sublandlord and Subtenant may each make changes to the Final SP Plans in accordance with the process set forth in Section 3.2(f) of the Lease provided that, for purposes of the Subleased Premises Work, all references in said Section 3.2(f) to (i) Approved Plans shall be deemed to mean the Approved SP Plans, (ii) Total Costs shall be deemed to mean Subleased Premises Total Costs, (iii) Landlord’s Work and/or Tenant’s Fitout shall be deemed to mean Subleased Premises Work, (iv) Estimated Delivery Date shall be deemed to mean the Estimated Delivery Date as set forth in the Sublease, (v) Project Contingency shall be deemed to mean the SP Contingency, (vi) Construction Documents shall be deemed to mean Subleased Premises CDs; (vii) Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work shall be deemed to mean substantial completion (as defined herein) of the Subleased Premises Work; (viii) the Premises shall be deemed to mean the Subleased Premises, (ix) Tenant shall mean Subtenant, (x) Landlord shall mean Overlandlord and Sublandlord, (xi) Agreed Costs shall mean Subleased Premises Agreed Costs, (xii) Tenant Delay shall mean Subtenant Delay, (xiii) Tenant’s Authorized Representative shall mean Subtenant’s Representative, and (xiv) Construction Schedule shall mean Subleased Premises Construction Schedule. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, it is understood and agreed that Sublandlord shall have the sole right to disapprove of any proposed Subtenant changes if such changes would cause the Additional
Schedule 4(b)-5
Premises to be built out in manner that is inconsistent with the parameters and requirements of the Matrix or that causes less than 40%, or more than 70%, of the entire Main Premises to be constructed in a manner consistent with laboratory use (including without limitation areas containing lab systems and areas for pH neutralization and chemical storage).
(iii)Permits. The cost of all permits for construction of the Subleased Premises Work (and the cost of obtaining the same) incurred by Overlandlord shall be included in Subleased Premises Agreed Costs. Sublandlord and Subtenant acknowledge and agree that Subtenant must perform certain installations and other work beyond the scope of the Subleased Premises Work in order for a certificate of occupancy for the Subleased Premises to be issued (such work, the “Certificate Work”). Within five (5) business days after the later to occur of (i) substantial completion of the Subleased Premises Work, and (ii) the date on which Subtenant notifies Sublandlord that Subtenant has completed the Certificate Work, Sublandlord shall cause Overlandlord to apply for a certificate of occupancy for the Subleased Premises (which may apply to the Subleased Premises alone and/or portions thereof or with the Main Premises or portions thereof), and thereafter diligently pursue and secure the same (Sublandlord agreeing that it shall cause Overlandlord to endeavor to secure the same within 70 days following notice that Subtenant has completed the Certificate Work, subject to Subtenant Delays); provided, however, to the extent that Subtenant elects to make Alterations to the Subleased Premises after the Commencement Date but prior to the issuance of a final certificate of occupancy for the Subleased Premises, Sublandlord shall not be obligated to cause Overlandlord to apply for a certificate of occupancy for the Subleased Premises until such Alterations have been substantially completed or Subtenant notifies Sublandlord that Subtenant has elected not to perform such Alterations. In no event shall Sublandlord be obligated to cause Overlandlord to apply for a certificate of occupancy prior to the date which is five (5) business days after the date on which Subtenant notifies Sublandlord that Subtenant has completed the Certificate Work.
(m)Definition of Substantial Completion. The Subleased Premises Work shall be deemed “substantially complete” on the date that all of the Subleased Premises Work has been completed in accordance with the Final SP Plans as certified in writing by the Approved Architect, except for SP Punchlist Items (as defined below), and as evidenced by a Certificate of Occupancy (to the extent then available in light of the status of the Certificate Work) with respect to the Subleased Premises. Sublandlord shall deliver to Subtenant a written certification from the Approved Architect upon the occurrence of substantial completion, which certification shall be presumptive evidence of substantial completion of the Subleased Premises Work, subject to reasonable challenge by Subtenant within three (3) business days following the date of Subtenant’s receipt of such written certification.
(n)SP Punchlist. Attached to the certificate of substantial completion referenced inSection Urn) above shall be a list (the “SP Punchlist”) of items which: (A) do not individually or in the aggregate prevent occupancy of any material portion of the Subleased Premises, and (B) do not individually or in the aggregate materially and adversely affect the use and occupancy of any material portion of the Subleased Premises for the normal conduct of the Permitted Use or Subtenant’s rights under the Sublease with respect to the Common Areas, all in a manner consistent with punchlist items typically found in a first class office and laboratory facility (collectively, “SP Punchlist Items”). Subject to Construction Force Majeure and Subtenant Delays, Sublandlord shall cause Overlandlord to complete all SP Punchlist Items in compliance
Schedule 4(b)-6
with Legal Requirements within sixty (60) days of the date of the SP Punchlist, except such SP Punchlist Items which satisfy the requirements of clauses A through B of thisSection 1(n) as are noted on the SP Punchlist as reasonably taking more than sixty (60) days to complete, provided such SP Punchlist Items are completed within the reasonable period set forth in the SP Punchlist.
(o)Warranty. In the case of latent defects in the Subleased Premises Work appearing after the date on which the Subleased Premises Work is substantially complete (the “SP Substantial Completion Date”), Subtenant shall be deemed to have waived any claim for correction or cure thereof on the earlier of the date (the “Subleased Premises Warranty Notice Deadline”) that is three hundred sixty (360) days following the SP Substantial Completion Date, if Subtenant has not then given notice of such defect to Sublandlord,time being of the essence.“Latent defects” shall mean defects that are not readily observable by visible inspection at the time the SP Punchlist is prepared or cannot reasonably be ascertained by reason of seasonality. Sublandlord shall cause Overlandlord or its contractor to remedy, repair or replace all latent defects, if any, identified by Subtenant in one or more written notices delivered to Sublandlord prior to the Subleased Premises Warranty Notice Deadline, such actions to occur as soon as reasonably practicable during normal working hours and in a manner so as to avoid any unreasonable interruption of Subtenant’s use of the affected portions of the Subleased Premises. Sublandlord shall be deemed to have satisfied all of its obligations under this Work Letter except with respect to any latent defects identified in written notices delivered to Sublandlord on or before the Subleased Premises Warranty Notice Deadline,time being of the essence.
(p)Remedy for Late Delivery. Subject to extension for Construction Force Majeure and Subtenant Delays, if the date (the “Delivery Date”) that Sublandlord delivers possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant with the Subleased Premises Work substantially completed in accordance with the Work Letter has not occurred within one (1) month after the Estimated Delivery Date, then Monthly Base Rent and Additional Rent on account of Operating Costs and Taxes shall be abated effective as of the Commencement Date (i) one day for each day after the Estimated Delivery Date that the Delivery Date does not occur up to the date which is two (2) months after the Estimated Delivery Date, and (ii) two (2) days for each day that the Delivery Date does not occur thereafter. The remedy set forth in thisSection l(p) is Subtenant’s sole and exclusive right and remedy if the Delivery Date does not occur on or before the Estimated Delivery Date.
(q)Final Reconciliation. Sublandlord shall cause Overlandlord to use good faith efforts to prepare and submit to Subtenant a final reconciliation within sixty (60) days after final completion of the Subleased Premises Work, including all SP Punchlist Items, in sufficient detail to determine actual Subleased Premises Total Costs and actual Subleased Premises Agreed Costs (such reconciliation being referred to herein as the “Subleased Premises Final Reconciliation”).
(r)Subleased Premises Excess Costs. Except as expressly set forth herein, the Subleased Premises Work shall be designed, permitted and performed at Sublandlord or Overlandlord’s sole cost and expense but subject to reimbursement pursuant to thisSection l(r) (it being understood and agreed that Subtenant shall have no obligation to pay for, or reimburse Sublandlord for, any costs of Landlord’s Base Building Work, Additional Premises Work (except to the extent constituting Subleased Premises Work), or Tenant’s Fitout). In the event that the Subleased Premises Agreed Costs exceed $10,785,720.00 (the “Allowance”), any such
Schedule 4(b)-7
excess being referred to herein as “Subleased Premises Excess Costs”, then Subtenant shall, within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Subleased Premises Final Reconciliation and one or more reasonably detailed invoice(s) with reasonably detailed supporting documentation, pay Sublandlord (or Overlandlord, if directed by Sublandlord) for such Subleased Premises Excess Costs. Except as set forth in this paragraph, Sublandlord or Overlandlord shall be responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the design, construction and development of the Subleased Premises Work. Pursuant to the Overlease, the Subleased Premises Work shall be performed on a so-called “open book” basis.
(s)Removal. Sublandlord shall request that Overlandlord notify Subtenant prior to approval of the Subleased Premises CDs whether Overlandlord will require Sublandlord, and therefore Sublandlord shall require Subtenant, at the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, to remove any portion(s) of the Subleased Premises Work that are reasonably determined by Overlandlord to be inconsistent with customary laboratory standards in East Cambridge.
2. Upon reasonable prior written notice to Sublandlord and Overlandlord during the forty-five (45) day period prior to the Commencement Date and only so long as Subtenant does not (in Overlandlord’s reasonable judgment) unreasonably or unnecessarily interfere with the preparation or performance of Landlord’s Work, Additional Premises Work, or the Subleased Premises Work in a manner inconsistent with the coordinated performance of the Early Access Work with Landlord’s Work, the Additional Premises Work, and Subleased Premises Work in accordance with the Subleased Premises Construction Schedule, Subtenant may enter upon the Subleased Premises (at Subtenant’s sole risk) prior to the Commencement Date to install Subtenant’s tel/data wiring, work stations or other equipment of Subtenant (the “Early Access Work”) but only at times reasonably determined by Sublandlord and Overlandlord with Subtenant’s input. Any such entry shall be upon the terms and conditions applicable to Early Access Work under the Overlease.
