ARTICLE 1. DESCRIPTION OF PREMISES
1.1 Premises. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord,
pursuant to the terms, conditions and uses herein set forth, that certain real property commonly
known as 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx and more particularly described in Exhibit A-1
attached hereto and as further described on the schematic drawing in Exhibit A-2 attached hereto
(the “Land”), and a building located on the Land containing approximately 635,058 gross square feet
of rentable space (the “Building”) and all property described on Exhibit A-3 (together with all
property installed in substitution for, or in replacement of, such property described in Exhibit

together with the Land, the Building and the Other Property, the “Premises”). The Premises is the
property of the Landlord.
1.2 Tenant’s Easements. The Premises includes certain appurtenant rights granted by
Landlord to Tenant pursuant to Article 32 hereof (“Tenant’s Easements”), in and to the real
property and improvements thereon (of which the Premises is a part) located in Xxxxxxxxxx County,
Maryland and owned by Landlord and known as Parcel A and Outlot A, in a subdivision entitled
“Parcel A and Outlot A, Block A, Traville”, recorded as plat 21961 (the “Traville Tract”).
The Future Development Land (defined below) consists of the entire Traville Tract saving and
excepting the Land, the Building and the Other Property.
ARTICLE 2. TERM
2.1 Lease Term. The term of this Lease will be for twenty (20) years commencing on
May 24, 2006 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending on May 31, 2026 (“Lease Term”). Tenant has two
consecutive ten (10) year options to extend the Lease Term, as further described in Article
29.
ARTICLE 3. RENT
3.1 Base Monthly Rental. Tenant shall pay to Landlord at the address set forth in
Section 31.10, or such other address as Landlord may advise Tenant in writing, without
deduction, offset or prior notice or demand, and Landlord shall accept, as rent for the Premises
the sum of $1,645,833.33 per month ($19,750,000 per year), subject to adjustments pursuant to
Section 3.3 below, in lawful money of the United States payable in advance on the first day
of each month of the term of this Lease. Said monthly installments shall hereinafter be referred
to as the “Base Monthly Rental.” Tenant has delivered to Landlord the Base Monthly Rental for the
first month of the term hereof upon execution and delivery of this Lease. For purposes of this
Lease, “Rent” will mean the Base Monthly Rental plus the Landlord Additional Rent plus the Third
Party Additional Rent plus any other charges due Landlord by Tenant under this Lease.
1
3.2 Proration of Rent. For the month in which the Commencement Date occurs, in lieu
of the Base Monthly Rental, Tenant will pay Landlord an amount equal to the $54,109.59 multiplied
by the number of days remaining in the month from, after and including the Commencement Date.
Thereafter, Rent shall be payable in accordance with the terms of Section 3.1. The total
consideration for the term of this Lease shall be increased by the amount of the installment
required by this Section 3.2.
3.3 Annual Adjustments. The Base Monthly Rental will be increased (but not decreased)
annually commencing on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the anniversary of
the Commencement Date, and on each anniversary thereafter, by an amount equal to 2.00% of the Base
Monthly Rental for the preceding year.
3.4 Landlord Additional Rent, Expenses and Costs. Commencing upon the Commencement
Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord (unless otherwise expressly required hereunder to pay directly
to a third party), as additional rent (“Landlord Additional Rent”), all sums of money of any and
every sort required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, whether or not the same are
designated as Landlord Additional Rent. If such amounts or charges are not paid at the time
provided in this Lease, they shall nevertheless be collectible as Landlord Additional Rent with the
next installment of the Base Monthly Rental thereafter falling due, but nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to suspend or delay the payment of any amount of money or charge at the time the
same becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy of Landlord. Tenant acknowledges
that this is an absolute net lease to Landlord. As such, Tenant shall pay, as Landlord Additional
Rent, all costs and expenses relating to the Premises (unless otherwise expressly required
hereunder to be paid directly to a third party).
3.5 Third Party Additional Rent. Commencing upon the Commencement Date, Tenant shall
pay directly to a third party, as additional rent (“Third Party Additional Rent”), all sums of
money of any and every sort required to be paid by Tenant to a third party under this Lease,
whether or not the same are designated as Third Party Additional Rent.
3.6 Late Fees. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of the
Base Monthly Rental or other charges incurred under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs
not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and
impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing, administrative and
accounting charges. If any payment of Base Monthly Rental, Landlord Additional Rent, or other
charges due from Tenant to Landlord is not received by Landlord within 5 business days of when due,
such unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum (“Default Rate”)
from the date due to the date of payment. In addition to interest, Tenant shall pay a sum of the
greater of (i) 2% of the overdue amount payable to Landlord or (ii) $50.00 as a late charge (“Late
Charge”). Late Charges shall constitute Landlord Additional Rent. The parties agree that the Late
Charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Landlord will incur by reason of
late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any Late Charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant’s
default with respect to the overdue amount, or prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other
rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder.
3.7 Security Deposit. Tenant will pay a security deposit of Nineteen Million Seven
Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($19,750,000) (payable in cash or, as and to the extent set
forth in Section 3.7.1, in the form of a letter of credit reasonably acceptable to
Landlord) (the
2
“Security Deposit”). In the event Landlord receives documentation from Tenant that demonstrates to
Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction that Tenant has achieved a rating of “BBB-” or better from
Standard & Poor’s Corporation, or “Baa3” or better from Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. (or in each
case any successor thereof), Landlord shall return the Security Deposit or the letter of credit to
Tenant; provided, however, in the event Tenant’s rating falls below “BBB-”, Tenant
shall, within 15 days after written notice thereof, deposit an amount with Landlord sufficient to
restore said Security Deposit to the amount set forth above and Tenant’s failure to do so shall
constitute a breach of this Lease.
3.7.1 In lieu of depositing cash as the Security Deposit, Tenant shall have the right to
deliver to Landlord an unconditional, irrevocable, standby letter of credit in the amount of the
cash Security Deposit otherwise required hereunder, which letter of credit shall (i) be in a form
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (ii) be issued by a financial institution selected by Tenant and
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iii) be for the benefit of Landlord, but shall be transferable
at Tenant’s sole cost and expense by Landlord to any subsequent purchaser or encumbrancer of the
Building, (iv) be payable by draft sight in a location reasonably acceptable to Landlord upon
presentation of a certification signed by an officer of Landlord which states that an Event of
Default has occurred under this Lease, and (v) be payable in the event such letter of credit is not
renewed on or before the date which is thirty (30) days prior to its expiration. Any amounts of
cash drawn on a letter of credit Security Deposit will thereafter be treated as a cash Security
Deposit hereunder.
3.7.2 Tenant shall have the right at any time during the Lease Term upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Landlord (i) to replace a cash Security Deposit with a letter of credit
which complies with all the terms of Section 3.7.1, or (ii) to replace a letter of credit
Security Deposit with a corresponding amount of cash or another letter of credit which complies
with all the terms of Section 3.7.1.
3.7.3 If Tenant fails to pay Rent when required or fails to perform any other covenant
contained herein, Landlord may use or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit for the
payment of any sum not so paid, or for the payment of any amount which Landlord may spend or become
obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so
applied or used, then Tenant shall, within 5 business days after written notice thereof, deposit an
additional amount with Landlord sufficient to restore said Security Deposit to the amount set forth
above, or replenish the letter of credit to the amount required hereunder, and Tenant’s failure to
do so shall constitute a breach of this Lease.
3.7.4 If Tenant has performed all of its monetary and other obligations hereunder at the
termination of this Lease, Landlord shall return said Security Deposit or letter of credit to
Tenant within 30 days after termination of this Lease, less any amounts required to restore the
Premises to good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage caused by casualty and
condemnation excepted, including repairing any damage resulting from the removal by Tenant of its
trade fixtures or equipment, except that in the event the Tenant exercises its rights to purchase
the Premises, the Security Deposit shall be credited to Tenant at the closing of such purchase or
the letter of credit shall be returned to Tenant, as applicable.
3.7.5 In the event of the sale of the real property of which the Premises constitute a part,
Landlord’s successor in interest shall assume Landlord’s obligations with
3
respect to the sums held as security or advance rent and notify Tenant in writing setting forth the
particularity of such transfer, including the successor’s name and address. Upon such assumption
and written notification, Tenant shall have no further claim against Landlord with respect to any
such Security Deposit and hereby waives all rights against Landlord in such regard.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will remain personally liable to the extent Landlord’s
successor in interest fails to assume the Landlord’s obligations with respect to the deposit as
specified above.
3.8 Tenant’s Costs. Within 60 days after the Commencement Date, and within 60 days
after the beginning of each calendar year, Landlord shall give Tenant a written estimate, for such
calendar year, of Tenant’s share of the cost of utilities, if not separately metered, taxes and
insurance provided by Landlord (“Tenant Costs”). Tenant shall pay such estimated amount to Landlord
in equal monthly installments, in advance. Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year,
Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement showing in reasonable detail the costs incurred by
Landlord for the operation and maintenance of the Premises during such year (the “Annual
Statement”), and Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s proportionate share of the cost incurred in
excess of the payments made by Tenant within 10 days of receipt of such statement. In the event
that the payments made by Tenant for the operation and maintenance of the Premises exceed Tenant’s
share of the cost of same, such amount shall be credited by Landlord to the Rent or other charges
next due and owing, provided that, if the Lease term has expired, Landlord shall accompany said
statement with the amount due Tenant. Tenant shall have the right, by giving written notice
thereof to Landlord within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s receipt of each Annual Statement, to
contest all or any item comprising Tenant Costs and in connection therewith audit Landlord’s books
and records relating to Tenant Cost covered by the Annual Statement. Landlord shall promptly
provide Tenant with copies of all bills and records supporting the Tenant Costs or any particular
item of Tenant Costs specified by Tenant in writing. If Tenant fails to deliver a notice of
audit/contest to Landlord within the aforesaid sixty (60) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to
have accepted the Annual Statement for the applicable calendar year.
3.9 Management Fee. Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of the calendar
month immediately following the Commencement Date, and on each month thereafter, as Landlord
Additional Rent, a monthly fee to cover costs of property management services and related expenses
in an amount equal to Eight Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Three Dollars and 33/100 ($8,333.33)
(the “Management Fee”), whether or not Landlord incurs fees payable to any third party to provide
such services and without regard to the actual costs incurred by Landlord for such services.
3.10 Absolute Net Lease. This Lease shall be deemed and construed to be an “absolute
net lease” and, except as herein expressly provided, the Landlord shall receive all payments
required to be made by Tenant, free from all charges, assessments, impositions, expenses,
deductions of any and every kind or nature whatsoever. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and
expense, maintain the landscaping and parking lot, and make all additional repairs and alterations
as required to maintain the Premises consistent with current practices.
ARTICLE 4. POSSESSION
4
4.1 Possession. Tenant hereby acknowledges that immediately prior to the Commencement Date,
it occupied the Premises and that Tenant is in possession of the Premises, and is familiar with the
condition thereof and accepts the Premises in its “as is” condition with all faults, and Landlord

cause compliance, with all laws, ordinances, zoning restrictions, rules, regulations, orders and
requirements of any duly constituted public authorities now or hereafter affecting the Premises,
including the use, safety, cleanliness and occupation of the Premises; provided,
however, for the avoidance of doubt, Tenant shall not be responsible for the cost of any
modifications that are
5
required as a result of such legal requirements that are triggered by improvements to the
Premises that are made after the expiration of the Lease.
5.3 Prohibited Uses. Tenant shall not do, bring or keep anything in or about the

Landlord or which may materially damage the Building.
ARTICLE 6. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS
6.1 Prohibited Alterations. Tenant shall not make any alterations, improvements or
additions to the Premises, without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, except tenant may
make non-structural alterations to the interior of the Premises (excluding the roof) without such
consent but upon notice to Landlord, as long as they are not visible from the outside, and the cost
thereof does not exceed $1,000,000 per occurrence or an aggregate amount of $3,000,000 in any
12-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant will not do anything that could have a
material adverse effect on the Building or life safety systems, without obtaining Landlord’s prior
written consent. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 6.1, a material
adverse effect on the Building shall not include a material adverse effect on the marketability of
the Building. Any such improvements, excepting movable furniture, trade fixtures and equipment,
shall become part of the realty and belong to Landlord. All alterations and improvements shall be
properly permitted and installed at Tenant’s sole cost, by a licensed contractor, in a good and
workmanlike manner, and in conformity with the laws of all applicable duly constituted public
authorities. Any alterations that Tenant shall desire to make and which require the consent of
Landlord shall be presented to Landlord in written form with detailed plans. Tenant shall: (i)
acquire all applicable governmental permits; (ii) furnish Landlord with copies of both the permits
and the plans and specifications before the commencement of the work, and (iii) comply with all
conditions of said permits in a prompt and expeditious manner. Any alterations shall be performed
in a workmanlike manner with good and sufficient materials. Tenant shall promptly upon completion
furnish Landlord with as-built plans and specifications. Tenant also shall have the right to
replace Other Property that is outdated or broken with properly functioning equivalents.
6.2 Notice of Commencement. At least 20 days prior to commencing any work relating to
any alterations, improvements or additions approved by Landlord, Tenant shall notify Landlord in
writing of the expected date of commencement. Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or
materials furnished to or for Tenant for use in improving the Premises. Tenant shall not permit
any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens to be levied against the Premises arising out of work
performed, materials furnished, or obligations to have been performed on the Premises by or at the
request of Tenant. Tenant hereby defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless against loss,
damage, attorneys’ fees and all other expenses on account of claims of lien of laborers or
materialmen or others for work performed or materials or supplies furnished for Tenant or its
contractors, agents or employees. If Tenant fails to discharge or undertake to defend against such
liability, upon receipt of written notice from Landlord of such failure, Tenant shall have fifteen
(15) days (the “Defense Cure Period”) to cure such failure by prosecuting
6
such a defense. If Tenant fails to do so within the Defense Cure Period, then Landlord may
settle the same and Tenant’s liability to Landlord shall be conclusively established by such
settlement provided that such settlement is entered into on commercially reasonable terms and
conditions, the amount of such liability to include both the settlement consideration and the costs
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Landlord in effecting such settlement. In the
event any contractor, agent or employee notifies Tenant of its intent to file a mechanics’ or
materialmen’s lien against the Premises, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord of such intention
to file a lien or a lawsuit with respect to such lien. Landlord should also immediately notify
Tenant if any complaint, lawsuit or other action with respect to a mechanic’s lien is filed or
commenced. Within the time period allotted to answer such action, such complaint or respond to
such lawsuit or other action, Tenant shall either: (a) settle the lawsuit without recourse to
Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, or (b) post such bond as may be required under
Maryland law to preclude the granting of a mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien against the Premises.
6.3 Trade Fixtures. Tenant may install trade fixtures, machinery or other trade
equipment in conformance with the ordinances of all applicable duly constituted public authorities.
Tenant may remove any of such trade fixtures or machinery upon the termination of this Lease. In
the event that Tenant installs improvements, machinery or trade fixtures, or makes any alterations,
Tenant shall, at Landlord’s option, return the Premises on termination of this Lease to
substantially the same condition as existed on the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear and
damage caused by casualty and condemnation excepted, including the removal of improvements or
alterations approved by Landlord in Section 6.1; provided, however, if such
improvements or alterations were approved by Landlord, Tenant shall only be required to remove such
improvements or alterations if Landlord’s approval was conditioned upon Tenant’s removal of such
improvements or alterations. In the event Landlord’s approval is not required, Tenant may provide
written notice to Landlord of such improvement or alteration and request confirmation on whether
such improvement or alteration will be required to be removed at the termination of this Lease.
Tenant shall, in any event, repair any damage resulting from the removal of machinery or trade
fixtures of Tenant. Tenant shall have the absolute right before the end of the Term to repair or
remove any Tenant owned equipment or machinery from the Premises (other than the Tenant Leased
Equipment, provided, however, that Tenant may from time to time move Tenant Leased
Equipment to Tenant’s other facilities in Xxxxxxxxxx County, Maryland so long as (i) Tenant
replaces such Tenant Leased Equipment with a comparable item of equal quality and quantity as
existed as of the time of such removal) and (ii) Tenant promptly provides Landlord written notice
of the new location of the Tenant Leased Equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event
shall Tenant remove any Other Property from the Premises at or before the end of the Lease Term.
6.4 Future Development. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord may desire to
develop the approximately 38 acres of land adjacent to the Land, as more fully described in Exhibit
B attached hereto (the “Traville Future Development Land”) by constructing one or more buildings or
other improvements thereon (the “Expansion Buildings”). In the event Landlord desires to construct
the Expansion Buildings, Landlord shall give notice to Tenant describing its proposed development
plan and consult with Tenant concerning such development; provided, however,
Landlord shall make the final decision with respect to any such proposed development, in its sole
and absolute discretion. In the event Landlord elects, in its
7
sole discretion, to sell or transfer any right with respect to the future development of the
Land, Landlord may do so in its sole discretion.
6.5 Subdivision. Landlord hereby agrees to use its diligent good faith efforts to
subdivide the Land and the Traville Future Development Land into separate legal lots. At
Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments and do
such further acts as may be necessary to modify the subdivision of such property. Tenant shall not
oppose or object to any changes or modifications to the subdivision for such property;
provided, however, such changes and modifications shall not materially affect
Tenant’s Easements or Tenant’s right to the quiet enjoyment, use and occupancy of the Premises.
ARTICLE 7. SURRENDER OF PREMISES
7.1 Conditions upon Surrender. Upon the expiration, or earlier termination, of this
Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in substantially the condition existing as
of the Commencement Date, normal wear and tear, casualty, condemnation, acts of God and Landlord
approved alterations that Landlord has notified Tenant may remain on the Premises excepted, with
all interior walls in good repair and repainted if marked, all carpets shampooed and cleaned, the
HVAC equipment, plumbing, electrical and other mechanical installations in good operating order,
and all floors cleaned and waxed, all to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord. Tenant shall
remove from the Premises all of Tenant’s alterations which Landlord requires Tenant to remove
pursuant to Section 6.3 and all Tenant’s personal property, and shall repair any damage and
perform any restoration work caused by such removal. Landlord and Tenant shall each initial and
attach a narrative description or floor plan of the Premises to this Lease, to be incorporated
herein as Exhibit C. Said narrative description or floor plan shall describe, among other things,
those interior improvements which are to remain in the Premises upon expiration, or earlier
termination, of this Lease. All of the Other Property (other than Other Property that has been
replaced in accordance with Section 6.1) and all replacements for such Other Property shall
remain with the Premises, unless Landlord has previously notified Tenant that such Other Property
may be removed from the Premises. It is the intent of the parties that the condition of the
Premises, after Tenant’s removal, be in substantial conformance with the layout reflected in
Exhibit C. If Tenant fails to remove such alterations and Tenant’s personal property (which
excludes all Other Property and replacements for such Other Property) which Tenant is authorized
and obligated to remove pursuant to the above, and such failure continues after the termination of
the Lease, Landlord may retain such property and all rights of Tenant with respect to it shall
cease, or Landlord may place all or any portion of such property in public storage for Tenant’s
account. Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand costs of removal of such alterations and Tenant’s
personal property and storage and transportation costs of same, and the cost of repairing and
restoring the Premises, together with attorneys’ fees and interest at the Default Rate on said
amounts, from the date of expenditure by Landlord. If the Premises are not so surrendered at the
termination of this Lease, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, either (a) upon written notice to
Tenant, treat Tenant as a month-to-month tenant at will, subject to all the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease, or (b) proceed with an unlawful detainer action and pursue all other
rights and remedies available to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not remove
from the Premises any base building electrical, plumbing, HVAC, life safety systems; and attached
laboratory benches, autoclaves, climatized rooms, and gas and liquid distribution systems.
8
ARTICLE 8. UTILITIES AND SERVICES
8.1 Utilities. Tenant shall make all arrangements for and pay for all water, sewer,
gas, heat, light, power, telephone service and any other service or utility Tenant requires at the
Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure or interruption of any utility service being
furnished to the Premises, and no such failure or interruption shall entitle Tenant to terminate
this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant will be entitled to Rent abatement in connection with
any such failure or interruption to the extent Landlord receives lost rental income insurance
proceeds.
8.2 Landlord Service. In the event that any utilities are furnished by Landlord,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the cost thereof in the manner set forth in Section 3.8.
Tenant’s cost shall be the total cost shown on utility meters servicing the Premises and any
extraordinary use which may be made by Tenant.
ARTICLE 9. INDEMNIFICATION
9.1 Indemnity of Landlord. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with attorneys
approved by Landlord), protect, and hold Landlord and Landlord’s agents, employees, directors,
officers, managers, members, partners, affiliates, independent contractors and property managers
(“Landlord’s Agents”), harmless from any and all liabilities, costs, expenses and losses by reason
of injury to person or property (“Losses”), caused by, arising out of, or related to, the condition
of the Tenant Leased Equipment, the Premises or the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant, its
agents, directors, officers, managers, members, partners, affiliates, independent contracts and
property managers, or invitees (“Tenant’s Agents”), including without limitation, any liability for
injury to the person or property of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, but excepting any Loss resulting
from the willful breach of the Lease by Landlord or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord or Landlord’s Agents. Tenant’s obligation hereunder shall survive the termination of this
Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event occurring prior
to such termination.
9.2 Waiver of Claims. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration rendered to
Landlord in entering into this Lease, hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damages to
goods, wares, machinery, trade fixtures, Tenant Leased Equipment or other property of Tenant,
Tenant’s Agents or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is
caused by or results from Landlord’s negligence, fire, steam, electricity, gas, water or rain, or
from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, fire sprinklers, wires,
appliances, plumbing, HVAC or lighting fixtures, or from any other cause, whether the said injury
or damage results from conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building
of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources or places, but excepting any claims
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s Agents.
Notwithstanding Landlord’s negligence or breach of this Lease, Landlord shall under no
circumstances be liable for loss of profits or special, incidental or consequential damages arising
therefrom.
9.3 Landlord Indemnification. Landlord agrees to indemnify Tenant and hold it
harmless from any and all loss, cost, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation
court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from any
9
Losses, caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and/or any of Landlord’s
Agents. The obligations of Landlord under this Section 9.3 shall survive the termination
of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability arising in connection with any event
occurring prior to such termination.
9.4 Claims for Indemnification. If any indemnitee under Sections 9.1 or
9.3 above (an “Indemnitee”) shall believe that such Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification pursuant to this Article 9 in respect of any Losses, such Indemnitee shall give the
appropriate indemnifying party (each, as applicable, an “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice
thereof. Any such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail and to the extent then known the
basis for such claim for indemnification. The failure of such Indemnitee to give notice of any
claim for indemnification promptly shall not adversely affect such Indemnitee’s right to indemnity
hereunder except to the extent that such failure adversely affects the right of the Indemnifying
Party to assert any reasonable defense to such claim.
9.5 Defense of Claims. In connection with any claim which may give rise to indemnity
under this Article 9 resulting from or arising out of any claim or proceeding against an Indemnitee
by a person that is not a party hereto, the Indemnifying Party shall (unless such Indemnitee elects
not to seek indemnity hereunder for such claim), upon written notice to the relevant Indemnitee,
assume the defense of any such claim or proceeding. The Indemnifying Party shall select counsel
reasonably acceptable to such Indemnitee to conduct the defense of such claim or proceeding, shall
take all steps necessary in the defense or settlement thereof and shall at all times diligently and
promptly perform resolution thereof. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Indemnifying Party will not enter into any
settlement of, or any claim or proceeding which would lead to liability or create any financial or
other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder. Without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Indemnitee will not enter into any settlement or
any claim or proceeding which would lead to liability or create any financial or other obligation
on the part of the Indemnifying Party unless the Indemnifying Party has, after written notice,
failed or refused to acknowledge responsibility for or defend such claim or proceeding within a
reasonable period of time after notice is provided pursuant to Section 9.4. If the
Indemnifying Party fails to discharge or undertake to defend against such liability, upon receipt
of written notice from the Indemnitee of such failure, the Indemnifying Party shall have the
Defense Cure Period to cure such failure by prosecuting such a defense. If the Indemnifying Party
fails to do so within the Defense Cure Period, then the Indemnitee may settle the same and the
Indemnifying Party’s liability to the Indemnitee shall be conclusively established by such
settlement provided that such settlement is entered into on commercially reasonable terms and
conditions, the amount of such liability to include both the settlement consideration and the costs
and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnitee in effecting such settlement.
ARTICLE 10. INSURANCE
10.1 Landlord’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain, a policy or policies of insurance
protecting Landlord against the following:
10.1.1 Fire and other perils normally included within the classification of fire and extended
coverage, together with insurance against vandalism and malicious mischief, to the
10
extent of the full replacement cost of the Premises, including, at Landlord’s option, earthquake
and flood coverage, exclusive of trade fixtures, equipment and improvements insured by Tenant, with
agreed value, full replacement and other endorsements which Landlord may elect to maintain.
10.1.2 At least twenty-four (24), months of rental loss insurance and to the extent of 100% of
the gross rentals from the Building of which the Premises constitute a part.
10.1.3 Public liability and property damage insurance for Landlord with respect to common
areas in amounts (i) not less than $1,000,000 for injury or death to any one person in any one
accident or occurrence, (ii) not less than $2,000,000 for injury or death to more than one person
in any one accident or occurrence, (iii) not less than $4,000,000 of excess umbrella liability
insurance, and, (iv) not less than $200,000 per occurrence for damage to Premises.
10.1.4 At Landlord’s sole option, environmental liability or environmental
clean-up/remediation insurance in such amounts and with such deductibles and other provisions as
Landlord may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
10.2 Payment. Tenant shall pay the cost of insurance required in Section
10.1.
10.3 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall maintain at its sole cost and expense, in force
a policy or policies of insurance protecting Landlord and Tenant against each of the following:
10.3.1 Comprehensive general liability insurance with respect to the Premises insuring against
bodily injury or death and property damage in amounts (i) not less than $5,000,000 in the
aggregate, (ii) not less than $3,000,000 per occurrence, and (iii) not less than $20,000,000 of
excess umbrella liability insurance. Landlord shall be included as additional insured. The amount
of such public liability insurance shall be increased from time to time as Landlord may reasonably
determine. All such bodily injury and property damage insurance shall specifically insure the
performance by Tenant of the indemnity agreement as to personal injury or property damage contained
in Article 9.
10.3.2 Insurance covering alterations, additions or improvements permitted under Section
6, trade fixtures and personal property from time to time in or upon the Premises in an amount
not less than 80% of their full replacement cost from time to time during the term of this Lease,
providing protection against any peril included within the classification “fire and extended
coverage,” for the repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed unless this Lease
shall terminate pursuant to Section 19 hereof.
10.3.3 All policies of insurance to be provided by Tenant shall be issued by insurance
companies, with general policy holder’s rating of not less than A and a financial rating of not
less than Class X as rated in the most current available “Best’s” Insurance Reports, and admitted
to do business in the State of Maryland. Such policies shall be issued in the name of Tenant. The
policies provided by Tenant shall be for the mutual and joint benefit and protection of Landlord
and Tenant, and executed copies of such policies of insurance or certificates thereof shall be
delivered to the Landlord within 10 days after the Commencement Date and, thereafter, within 10
days prior to the expiration of the term of each such policy. All public liability and property
damage policies shall contain a provision that the Landlord, although named as an
11
additional insured in the case of public liability coverage and as an insured in the case of
property damage policies, shall nevertheless be entitled to recover under said policies for any
loss occasioned to it or Landlord’s Agents by reason of the negligence of the Tenant. Upon the
expiration or termination of any such policy, renewal or additional policies shall be procured and
maintained by the Tenant to provide the required coverage. All policies of insurance delivered to
Landlord must contain a provision that the company writing said policy will provide to Landlord 30
days notice in writing in advance of any cancellation or lapse or the effective date of any
reduction in the amounts of insurance. All public liability, property damage and other casualty
policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not in excess of coverage
which Landlord may carry.
10.3.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant’s obligation to carry the insurance
described in this Section may be brought within the coverage of a so-called blanket policy or
policies of insurance carried and maintained by the Tenant, provided that (i) Landlord and/or its
lenders will be named as an additional insured and loss payee thereunder as their interests may
appear, (ii) the coverage afforded Landlord will not be reduced or diminished by reason of the use
of such blanket policy of insurance, and (iii) the requirements set forth herein are otherwise
satisfied. Tenant agrees to permit Landlord at all reasonable times to inspect the policies of
insurance of Tenant covering the Premises for policies which are not required to be delivered to
Landlord.
10.4 Release of Subrogation Rights. Landlord and Tenant hereby mutually release each
other from liability and waive all right to recover against each other for any loss from perils
insured against under their respective insurance policies, including any extended coverage and
special form endorsements to said policies; provided, however, this Section shall be inapplicable
to the extent the waiving and releasing party is unable, notwithstanding its good faith efforts, to
obtain the requisite coverage from its insurer. The parties shall obtain, if available, from their
respective insurance companies, a waiver of any right of subrogation which said insurance company
may have against the Landlord or the Tenant, as the case may be.
10.5 Failure to Provide Insurance. Tenant acknowledges that any failure on its part
to obtain or maintain the insurance required under Sections 10.1 and 10.3 will
expose Landlord to risk and potentially cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this
Lease, the extent of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, for any month or
portion thereof the Tenant does not maintain the required insurance and/or does not provide
Landlord with the required binders or certificates evidencing the existence of the required
insurance, the Base Monthly Rental shall be automatically increased, without any requirement for
notice to Tenant, by an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the then existing Base Monthly Rental.
The parties agree that such increase in the Base Monthly Rental represents fair and reasonable
compensation for the additional risk costs that Landlord will incur by reason of Tenant’s failure
to maintain the required insurance. Such increase in Base Monthly Rental shall in no event
constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default or breach with respect of the failure to maintain such
insurance, prevent the exercise of any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder, nor
relieve Tenant of it’s obligations to maintain the insurance specified in this Lease. In the event
Tenant does not maintain the insurance required under this Article 10, Landlord may, in
Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, obtain such insurance and Tenant shall pay Landlord as
Landlord Additional Rent all costs and expenses in connection with such policy or policies of
insurance.
12
10.6 Notice to Landlord. On the Commencement Date, and no later than 10 days before
any insurance required under this Article 10 expires or is cancelled, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord certificates of insurance evidencing Tenant’s maintenance of all insurance required
under this Article 10, in each case providing coverage for at least one year from the date
delivered. Upon receipt of each policy of insurance evidencing insurance required under this
Article 10, Tenant shall promptly deliver a copy of any such policy of insurance to
Landlord. In the event of any dispute regarding Tenant’s compliance with the insurance
requirements of this Lease, Landlord may at Landlord’s option obtain a certificate from Tenant’s
insurance broker confirming such compliance. In addition to the obligations under this Section
10.6, Tenant shall direct the insurance carrier to give Landlord 10 days’ prior written notice
of cancellation or nonrenewal of any insurance required under this Article 10.
ARTICLE 11. TAXES
11.1 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes,
assessments, license fees, and other public charges levied, assessed or imposed or which become
payable during the term of this Lease upon any trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and all other
personal property of Tenant installed or located in the Premises. Whenever possible, Tenant shall
cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment and personal property to be separately assessed.
11.2 Real Estate Taxes. Landlord shall provide Tenant the real estate tax bills in
its possession at least 45 days before such taxes are due and payable. Tenant shall pay at least
20 days before due Tenant’s Share (as defined below) of any and all real estate taxes, as defined
in Section 11.3, assessed or imposed, or which become a lien upon or become chargeable
against or payable in connection with the Premises. Within five business days after such payment,
Tenant shall provide Landlord evidence of such payment in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
In the event that the Premises are not separately assessed, Tenant shall pay an equitable
proportion of the real estate taxes and assessments for all the land and improvements included
within the tax parcel(s) assessed, such proportion shall be determined by Landlord from the
respective valuations assigned in the assessor’s worksheets and such other information as is
reasonably available to Landlord, including the Building and any special improvements constructed
for the benefit of Tenant. Real estate taxes for the last year of the term of this Lease shall be
prorated between Landlord and Tenant as of the expiration date of the term. With respect to any
assessments which may be levied against or upon the Premises, or which under the laws then in force
may be evidenced by improvement or other bonds and may be paid in annual installments, only the
amount of such annual installment, with appropriate proration for any partial year, and interest
thereon, shall be included within a computation of taxes and assessments levied against the
Premises. In the event that Tenant incurs a Late Charge on the payment of the Base Monthly Rental
or fails to pay any real estate taxes at least 20 days before due, Landlord may estimate the
current real estate taxes, and require that such taxes be paid in advance to Landlord by Tenant
monthly in advance with the payment of the Base Monthly Rental. Such monthly payment shall be
equal to the amount of the estimated installment of taxes divided by the number of months remaining
before the month in which such installment becomes delinquent. When the actual amount of the
applicable tax xxxx is known, the amount of such equal monthly advance payments shall be adjusted
as required to provide the funds needed to pay the applicable taxes. If the amount collected by
Landlord is insufficient to pay such real estate taxes when due, then Tenant shall pay Landlord,
upon demand, such additional sum as is
13
necessary. Advance payments may be intermingled with other moneys of Landlord and shall not bear
interest. In the event of a breach by Tenant in the performance of its obligations under this
Lease, then any such advance payments may be treated by Landlord as an additional security deposit.
11.3 Definition of Taxes. For purposes of this Lease, “real estate taxes” shall also
include each of the following:
11.3.1 Any form of assessment, license fee, license tax, bond or improvement bond, business
license tax, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, penalty, or tax, imposed by any authority having
the direct power to tax, including any city, county, state or federal government, or any school,
agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement or special district thereof, as against any
legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, personal property or the real property of
which the Premises constitute a part;
11.3.2 Any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge in substitution, partially or totally, of any
assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge previously included with the definition of real estate tax. It
is the intention of Tenant and Landlord that all such new and increased assessments, taxes, fees,
levies and charges and all similar assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges be included within
the definition of real estate tax for purposes of this Lease;
11.3.3 Any tax allocable to or measured by the area of the Premises or the rental payable
hereunder, including without limitation, any gross income tax or excise tax levied by the State,
any political subdivision thereof, city, or federal government, with respect to the receipt of such
rental, or upon or with respect to the possession, leasing, operating, management, maintenance,
alteration, repair, use of occupancy by Tenant of the Premises, or any portion thereof;
11.3.4 Any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge, or any increase therein: (i) imposed by
reason of events occurring during the term of this Lease, and (ii) levied or assessed on machinery
or equipment, if any, provided by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease; and
11.3.5 “Real estate taxes” shall not include Landlord’s federal or state income, franchise,
inheritance or estate taxes.
11.4 Contest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall
have the exclusive right to contest, at its sole cost, by appropriate legal proceedings diligently
conducted in good faith, the amount or validity of any real estate taxes; taxes in connection with
the Other Property; the valuation, assessment, or reassessment (whether proposed, phased, or final)
of the Premises for real estate taxes; and the amount of any such tax (any of the foregoing, a
“Contest”). Tenant may defer payment or performance of the contested obligation pending outcome of
the Contest, provided that Tenant causes the following conditions (collectively, the “Contest
Conditions“) to remain satisfied:
11.4.1 No Liability. Such deferral or noncompliance creates no material risk of a
lien, charge, or other liability of any kind against the Premises, unless Tenant has given Landlord
a bond, letter of credit, or other security reasonably satisfactory to Landlord equal to the
reasonably estimated amount of such lien, charge, or other liability.
14
11.4.2 No Forfeiture. Such deferral or noncompliance will not place the Premises in
material danger of being forfeited or lost.
11.4.3 No Cost to Landlord. Such Contest shall be without cost, liability, or expense
to Landlord.
11.4.4 Prosecution. Tenant shall prosecute such Contest with reasonable diligence and
in good faith.
11.4.5 Diligence. If required for such Contest, Tenant shall have paid the contested
real estate taxes or other matter.
11.4.6 Collection of Real Estate Taxes. If such Contest relates to any real estate
tax, then such Contest shall suspend its collection from Landlord and the Land.
11.4.7 No Tax Deed. If, at any time, payment of any real estate taxes is necessary to
prevent the imminent (i.e., within 30 days) delivery of a tax deed to the Land for nonpayment, then
Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid the sums in sufficient time to prevent delivery of such deed.
11.4.8 No Event of Default. No Event of Default shall exist under this Lease at the
time of such Contest.
11.4.9 Named Parties. If Landlord has been named as a party in any action, then
Tenant shall cause Landlord to be removed as such party and Tenant substituted in Landlord’s place,
if permissible under the circumstances.
11.5 Landlord Obligations and Protections. Landlord need not join in any Contest unless
(a) Tenant has complied with the Contest Conditions; and (b) such Contest must be initiated or
prosecuted in Landlord’s name. In such case, Landlord shall cooperate, as Tenant reasonably
requests, to permit the Contest to be prosecuted in Landlord’s name. Landlord shall give Tenant
any documents, deliveries, and information in Landlord’s control and reasonably necessary for
Tenant to prosecute its Contest. Tenant shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including
legal costs, of any Contest. Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, advance (when Landlord incurs
them) such reasonable costs and expenses that Landlord incurs or reasonably anticipates incurring,
for Tenant’s Contest and Landlord’s assistance with such Contest.
11.6 Miscellaneous. When Tenant concludes Tenant’s Contest of any real estate taxes, Tenant
shall pay the amount of such real estate taxes (if any) as has been finally determined in such
Contest to be due, to the extent attributable to periods within the Lease Term, and any costs,
interest, penalties, or other liabilities in connection with such real estate taxes. Tenant shall
be entitled to any refund of such real estate taxes (if any) attributable to periods within the
Lease Term. Except for the last two years of the Term, so long as the Contest Conditions remain
satisfied, Landlord shall enter no objection to any Contest. Except for the last two years of the
Term, Landlord may contest any matter for which Tenant is entitled to (but does not) prosecute a
Contest, but only if: (a) Landlord notifies Tenant of Landlord’s intention to do so; (b) Tenant
15
fails to commence such Contest within
15 days after receipt of such Notice; and (c) Landlord’s contest complies with all conditions and
covenants that would apply to a Contest by Tenant, transposing references to the parties and their
interests as appropriate.
11.7 Tenant’s Share. For purposes of this Lease, “Tenant’s Share” shall be determined as
follow:
11.7.1 As of the Commencement Date. From and after the Commencement Date of this
Lease and until such time, if ever, as the Premises becomes a separate, subdivided parcel of land

(i) Tenant’s Share of the Assessed Value — Land shall be determined by
multiplying the total Assessed Value — Land by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the Premises Built FAR (defined below) and the denominator of which is the Total
Traville — FAR (defined below).
(ii) Tenant’s Share of the Assessed Value — Improvements shall be determined by
multiplying the total Assessed Value — Improvements by a fraction, the numerator of

Fees, Tenant’s Share shall be determined by multiplying the amount of such assessment
payable on account of the Traville Site by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
Premises Built FAR and the denominator of which is the Total Traville FAR.
11.7.2 Definitions. For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall
apply:
(a) “Assessed Value — Improvements” means the value attributable to all of the

during an applicable period, such calculation shall only include the FAR of the Expansion Building
or the separate value attributed to such improvements, as applicable, for the number of days in the
applicable period remaining upon the completion of the construction of such Expansion Building.
11.7.3 Tax Credits. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all tax credits including

for making such repairs, plus interest at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure by Landlord
upon demand therefor. Moreover, Tenant’s failure to pay any of the charges in connection with the
performance of its maintenance and repair obligations under this Lease will constitute a material

or other advertising materials that are located on the Premises on or before the Commencement Date.

prospective purchasers, lenders, investors and contractors to enter the Premises at all reasonable
times, upon giving Tenant a 72 hour written notice, except in the event of an emergency in which
case the 72 hour written notice is not required: (i) for the purpose of inspecting the same, (ii)
for
19
the purposes of performing any of Tenant’s unperformed obligations under this Lease, or (iii) for
the purpose of posting notices of non-responsibility for alterations, additions, or repairs.

defined) in exercising the rights under this Article 14, and not otherwise covered by
Tenant’s insurance or the insurance Tenant is required to carry under this Lease. Landlord
acknowledges that Tenant’s business operations involve the use of highly sensitive, confidential,
and proprietary information, and that it is imperative that Landlord and its agents, consultants,
contractors or any prospective tenant or broker (collectively, the “Landlord Group”) be accompanied
by an authorized agent of Tenant during any entry onto the Premises by the Landlord Group, except
in an emergency. Because of the sensitive nature of Tenant’s business operations, it may not be
possible to provide ready access to the Landlord Group to every part of the Premises at any given
time. Landlord shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Tenant in entering the Premises.
ARTICLE 15. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
15.1 Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall have the right to assign its interest in
this Lease or sublet the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, except as follows: (i)
in the event the proposed assignee or subtenant intends to use the Premises in a manner that is not
permitted under Section 5.1, Tenant shall be required to obtain Landlord’s prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) in the
event the income generated by the proposed assignee or subtenant could jeopardize BioMed Realty
Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Landlord’s REIT Entity”), status as a real estate investment
trust within the meaning of Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (“REIT
Status”) or cause the Landlord’s REIT Entity to be in receipt of income that does not constitute
“rent from real property” within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code, Tenant shall be
required to obtain Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be given or denied in
Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, in the event Tenant is
unable to determine whether the proposed assignment or sublease could jeopardize the Landlord’s
REIT Entity’s REIT Status, Tenant shall have the right to deliver a notice to Landlord, complying
with each of the requirements of Section 15.2, requesting that Landlord make such
determination. Landlord shall notify Tenant within five (5) business days after Landlord receives
such notice and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require, whether such assignment
or sublease could jeopardize the Landlord’s REIT Entity’s REIT Status. Any purported assignment or
subletting contrary to these provisions shall be void. Consent by Landlord to one or more
assignments of this Lease or to one or more sublettings of the Premises shall not operate to
exhaust Landlord’s rights under this Section.
20
15.2 Notice to Landlord. In the event Landlord’s consent is required pursuant to
Section 15.1, Tenant shall first notify Landlord of its desire to do so and shall submit in writing
to Landlord (the “Transfer Notice”); (i) the size and location of the space Tenant proposes to
assign or sublet; (ii) the name of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (iii) the date on which the

business to be carried on in the Premises; (v) the terms and provisions of the proposed sublease or
assignment; (vi) such reasonable financial information as Landlord may request concerning the

require. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord for Landlord’s actual costs and attorneys’ fees (not
to exceed $5000) incurred in conjunction with the processing and documentation of any such
requested assignment, subletting, transfer, change or ownership or hypothecation of this Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, within five (5) days after any assignment or sublet of Tenant’s
interest in this Lease (including any assignment by operation of law or the transfer of fifty
percent (50%) or more of the equity interests in Tenant measured by voting power or share of
Tenant’s profit), Tenant shall provide Landlord a written notice of such assignment or sublet,
which notice shall include the date on which the transfer occurred and each of the items specified
in items (i), (ii), (iv), (v) and (vii) above.
15.3 No Release of Liability. No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of
Landlord, shall relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay the Rent and perform all the other
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by Landlord from any other
person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a
consent to any assignment or subletting.
15.4 Transfer Premiums. If, in the aggregate, Tenant assigns or subleases the
Building to one or more entities or persons, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Landlord Additional
Rent, 25% of such excess consideration received by Tenant from said assignment or sublease to the
extent said consideration exceeds the Base Monthly Rental (“Profits”).
ARTICLE 16. DISPOSSESSION
16.1 No Dispossession. If Tenant shall surrender the Premises, or be dispossesed by
process of law, or otherwise, Landlord may terminate this Lease, retake possession of the Premises,
pursue its remedies provided herein, and any personal property or trade fixtures belonging to
Tenant and left on the Premises shall, at the option of Landlord, be deemed abandoned. In such
case, Landlord may dispose of said personal property in any manner and is hereby relieved of all
liability for doing so.
ARTICLE 17. BREACH BY TENANT
17.1 Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a
breach and material default of this Lease by Tenant (each, an “Event of Default”):
17.1.1 The failure of Tenant to pay or cause to be paid when due any Base Monthly Rental,
Landlord Additional Rent, Third Party Additional Rent, Rent, the Security
21
Deposit, taxes, monies, or charges required by this Lease to be paid by Tenant when such failure
continues for a period of 5 business days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant;
17.1.2 The failure of Tenant to perform any term, covenant or condition, other than payment of
Rent, the Security Deposit, taxes, monies or charges, required by this Lease and Tenant shall have
failed to cure such failure within 30 days after written notice from Landlord; provided, however,
that where such failure cannot reasonably be cured within the 30 day period, the Tenant shall not
be in default if it has commenced such cure within the same 30 day period and diligently thereafter
prosecutes the same to completion;
17.1.3 Subject to the notice and cure provisions of Section 17.1.2 above, Tenant
causing, permitting, or suffering, without the prior written consent of Landlord, any act when this
Lease requires Landlord’s prior written consent or prohibits such act; or
17.1.4 To the extent permitted by applicable law, any act of bankruptcy caused, suffered or
permitted by Tenant. For purposes of this Lease, “act of bankruptcy” shall include any of the
following:
17.1.4.1.
Any general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors;
17.1.4.2. The filing of any petition by or against Tenant to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt
or a petition for reorganization or arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy, unless such
petition is filed against Tenant and same is dismissed within 60 days;
17.1.4.3. The appointment of a trustee or receiver to take possession of substantially all of
Tenant’s assets located in the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease; or,
17.1.4.4. The attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s
assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease.
17.1.5 The failure of Tenant to perform any term, obligation, covenant or condition, which
failure has not been cured after ten (10) business days notice to Tenant thereof, under: (i) that
certain Option Agreement dated as of the date hereof, between Tenant and BioMed Realty, L.P.,
relating to the approximately 9.98 acres of land located in Rockville, Maryland as more fully
described therein (the “Pilot Plant Option Agreement”); or (ii) that certain Option Agreement dated
as of the date hereof, between Tenant and BioMed Realty, L.P. relating to the approximately 3 acres
of land located in Rockville, Maryland as more fully described therein (the “Q Building Option
Agreement”).
17.2 Five-Day Notice. In the event that Landlord issues a five-day notice, notice of
abandonment or comparable document by reason of Tenant’s breach, and Tenant cures such default,
Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, the reasonable cost of preparation and delivery of same.
22
17.3 No Waiver. The acceptance by Landlord of Rent due hereunder after breach by
Tenant will not constitute a waiver of such breach, unless a written notice to that effect has been
delivered to Tenant.
17.4 Replacement of Statutory Notice Requirements. To the extent not prohibited by
applicable law, when this Lease requires service of a notice, that notice shall replace rather than
supplement any equivalent or similar statutory notice, including any notices required by applicable
law. To the extent not prohibited by applicable law, when a statute requires service of a notice
in a particular manner, service of that notice (or a similar notice required by this Lease) in the
manner required by Section 31.10 shall replace and satisfy the statutory service-of-notice
procedures.
17.5 Mortgagee Protection. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord,
Tenant agrees to give notice by registered or certified mail to any beneficiary of a deed of trust
or mortgage covering the Premises whose name and address shall have been furnished to the Tenant
and shall offer such beneficiary or mortgagee a reasonable opportunity to cure such default (such
cure period not to exceed 60 days after receipt of such notice) before Tenant shall attempt to
exercise any other remedy.
ARTICLE 18. REMEDIES UPON BREACH
18.1 Landlord’s Remedies. If Tenant fails to perform any of its affirmative duties or
obligations, within 10 business days after written notice (or in the case of any facts or
circumstances that create an imminent risk of damage to the Real Property or the Premises or injury
to, or death of, persons, without written notice), Landlord may, at its option, perform such duty
or obligation on Tenant’s behalf, including but not limited to the obtaining of reasonable required
bonds, insurance policies, or governmental licenses, permits or approvals. Tenant shall pay to
Landlord an amount equal to the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in such performance upon
receipt of an invoice, with interest thereon, at the Default Rate from the date of expenditure. In
the event of any breach or material default by Tenant under Section 17.1, in addition to
other rights or remedies of Landlord at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the following
remedies:
18.1.1 Landlord may continue the lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and recover Rent as it
becomes due. Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease on account of any
default by Tenant, Landlord may enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease,
including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due; and
18.1.2 Landlord, either as an alternative or subsequent to exercising the remedies set forth
in Section 18.1.1, may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises by and upon
delivery to Tenant of written notice of termination. Landlord may then immediately reenter the
Premises and take possession thereof pursuant to legal proceedings and remove all persons and
property from the Premises; such property may be removed and stored in a public warehouse or
elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Tenant. No notice of termination shall be necessary
in the event that Tenant has abandoned the Premises. In the event that Landlord elects to terminate
Tenant’s right of possession, Landlord may recover the following:
23
18.1.2.1. The worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Rent which had been earned at the
time of termination. “Worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the
Default Rate from the first day the breach occurs;
18.1.2.2. The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent which would
have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss
that the Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided. “Worth at the time of award” shall be
determined by allowing interest at the Default Rate from the first day a breach occurs;
18.1.2.3. The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the
balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that the Tenant
proves could be reasonably avoided. “Worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting
such amount at the discount rate at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award
plus 1%; and
18.1.2.4. Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately
caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary
course of things would be likely to result therefrom including, but not limited to, commissions and
expenses of reletting, attorneys’ fees, costs of alterations and repairs, recording fees, filing
fees and any other expenses customarily resulting from obtaining possession of leased premises and
re-leasing.
18.2 Landlord Default. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease for any
default by Landlord.
ARTICLE 19. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
19.1 Tenant’s Obligation to Rebuild. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed, Tenant
shall immediately provide notice thereof to Landlord, and shall promptly thereafter deliver to
Landlord Tenant’s good faith estimate of the time it will take to repair and rebuild the Premises
(the “Estimated Time For Repair”). Subject to the other provisions of this Article 19, Tenant
shall promptly and diligently repair and rebuild the Premises in accordance with Sections 19.3
and 19.4 unless Landlord or Tenant terminates this Lease in
accordance with
Section 19.2.
Section 19.2.
19.2 Termination.
19.2.1 Landlord’s Right to Terminate.
(a) Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease following damage to or destruction
of all or a substantial portion of the Premises if any of the following occurs (each, a
“Termination Condition”): (i) insurance proceeds, together with additional amounts Tenant agrees to
contribute under Section 19.4.4, are not confirmed to be available to Landlord, within 90
days following the date of damage, to pay 100% of the cost to fully repair the damaged Premises,
excluding the deductible for which Tenant shall also be responsible; (ii) based upon the Estimated
Time For Repair, the Premises cannot, with reasonable diligence, be fully repaired by Tenant within
18 months after the date of the damage or destruction; (iii) the Premises cannot be safely repaired
because of the presence of hazardous factors, including, but
24
not limited to, earthquake faults, radiation, chemical waste and other similar dangers; (iv)
subject to the terms and conditions of Section 19.2.1(a) hereof, all or a substantial
portion of the Premises are destroyed or damaged during the last 24 months of the Lease Term; or
(v) Tenant is in material default under the terms of this Lease at the time of such damage or
destruction past any period of notice and cure as elsewhere provided in this Lease. For purposes
of this Section 19.2, a “substantial portion” of the Premises shall be deemed to be damaged
or destroyed if the Premises is rendered unsuitable for the continued use and occupancy of Tenant’s
business substantially in the same manner conducted prior to the event causing the damage or
destruction.
(b) If all or a substantial portion of the Premises are destroyed or damaged within the last
24 months of the initial Lease Term, or within the last 24 months of the first option period under
this Lease, and Landlord desires to terminate this Lease under Section 19.2.1(a) hereof,
Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s intent to terminate the Lease under
Section 19.2.1(a) (“Section 19.2.1(a) Termination Notice”) and Tenant shall have a
period of 30 days after receipt of the Section 19.2.1(a) Termination Notice (“Tenant’s
Early Option Period”) to (i) if the damage has occurred during the last 24 months before the date
that is nine and a half (9 1/2) years after the Commencement Date, exercise its option to purchase
the Premises, or (ii) if the damage has occurred during the last 24 months of the Lease Term or
first option period, exercise its option to extend the initial Lease Term or the first option
period, as applicable, by providing Landlord with written notice of Tenant’s exercise of its
respective option prior to the expiration of Tenant’s Early Option Period. If Tenant exercises its
option rights under the immediately preceding sentence, the Section 19.2.1(a) Termination
Notice shall be deemed rescinded and Tenant shall proceed to repair and rebuild the Premises in
accordance with the other provisions of this Article 19. If Tenant fails to deliver such written
notice to Landlord prior to the end of Tenant’s Early Option Period, then Tenant shall be deemed to
have waived its option to purchase the Premise or to extend the Lease Term, as the case may be, and
the last day of Tenant’s Early Option Period shall be deemed to be the date of the occurrence of
the Termination Condition under Section 19.2.1(a).
19.2.2 Tenant’s Right to Terminate. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this
Lease following damage to or destruction of all or a substantial portion of the Premises if any of
the following occurs (each a “Termination Condition”): (i) the Premises cannot, with reasonable
diligence, be fully repaired by Tenant within 24 months after the date of the damage or destruction
based upon the Estimated Time for Repair, which Estimate Time for Repair shall have been reasonably
agreed to by Landlord; or (ii) the Premises are destroyed or damaged during the last 12 months of
the Term.
19.2.3 Exercise of Termination Right. If a party elects to terminate this Lease and
has the right to so terminate, such party will give the other party written notice of its election
to terminate (“Termination Notice”) within 30 days after the occurrence of the applicable
Termination Condition, and this Lease will terminate 15 days after receipt of such Termination
Notice, except in the case of a termination by Landlord under Section 19.2.1(a), in which
case this Lease will terminate 15 days after expiration of the Tenant Early Option Period if Tenant
timely fails to exercise timely Tenant’s option to extend the Lease Term. If this Lease is
terminated pursuant to Section 19.2, Landlord shall, subject to the rights of its
lender(s), be entitled to receive and retain all the insurance proceeds resulting from such damage,
including rental loss insurance, except for those proceeds payable under policies obtained by
Tenant which specifically insure Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures and machinery. For
purposes of
25
clarity, Tenant shall continue to maintain and pay the rental loss insurance premiums after
this Lease terminates to the extent necessary for Landlord to receive insurance proceeds sufficient
to cover 24 months of Rent under this Lease.
19.3 Tenant’s Obligation to Repair. If Tenant is required to repair or rebuild any
damage or destruction of the Premises under Section 19.1, then Tenant shall (a) submit its
plans to repair such damage and reconstruct the Premises to Landlord for review and approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (b) diligently repair and
rebuild the Premises in the same or better condition and with the same or better quality of
materials as the condition of the Premises as of the Commencement Date, and in a manner that is
consistent with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord; (c) obtain all permits and
governmental approvals necessary to repair or reconstruct the Premises (which permits shall not
contain any conditions that are materially more restrictive than the permits in existence on the
date hereof); (d) cause all work to be performed only by qualified contractors that are reasonably
approved by Landlord; (e) allow Landlord and its consultants and agents to enter the Premises at
all reasonable times to inspect the Premises and Tenant’s ongoing work and cooperate reasonably in
good faith with their effort to ensure that the work is proceeding in a manner that is consistent
with this Lease; (f) comply with all applicable laws and permits in connection with the performance
of such work; (g) timely pay all of its consultants, suppliers and other contractors in connection
with the performance of such work; (h) notify Landlord if Tenant receives any notice of any default
or any violation of any applicable law or any permit or similar notice in connection with such
work; (i) deliver as-built plans for the Premises within thirty (30) days after the completion of
such repair and restoration; (j) ensure that Landlord has fee simple title to the Premises during
such work without any claim by any contractor or other party; (k) maintain such insurance as
Landlord may reasonably require (including insurance in the nature of builders’ risk insurance) and
(l) comply with such other conditions as Landlord may reasonably require. In addition, Tenant
shall, at its expense, replace or fully repair all Tenant’s personal property and any alterations
installed by Tenant existing at the time of such damage or destruction. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant’s right to repair and rebuild the Building pursuant to this Section 19.3
shall not apply if Tenant has assigned this Lease to a third party, other than an affiliate;
provided, however, Landlord shall have the right to require such third party to
repair and rebuild the Building in accordance with this Section 19.3. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord (and its
employees and agents) harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, suits,
judgments, actions, investigations, proceedings and liabilities arising out of or in connection
with Tenant’s obligations under this Article 19, including, without limitation, any acts,
omissions or negligence in the making or performance of any such repairs or replacements. In the
event Tenant does not repair and rebuild the Premises pursuant to this Article 19, Tenant
shall be in breach, and Landlord shall have the right to retain all casualty insurance proceeds and
condemnation proceeds.
19.4 Application of Insurance Proceeds for Repair and Rebuilding. Landlord shall
cause the insurance proceeds on account of such damage or destruction to be held in a separate
interest bearing account (the “Restoration Fund”) which shall be held and disbursed as follows:
19.4.1 Minor Restorations. If the estimated cost of restoration is less than
$1,000,000, and if prior to commencement of restoration, no Event of Default or event
26
which would constitute an Event of Default pursuant to which Landlord is taking action to take
possession of the Premises or to terminate this Lease shall exist and no mechanics’ or
materialmen’s liens shall have been filed and remain undischarged, and if the architects,
contracts, contractors, plans and specifications for the restoration shall have been approved by
Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and Landlord shall be
provided with reasonable assurance against mechanics’ liens, accrued or incurred, as Landlord or
its lenders may reasonably require and such other documents and instruments as Landlord or its
lenders may reasonably require, and Tenant shall have procured acceptable performance and payment
bonds reasonably acceptable to Landlord in an amount and form, and from a surety, reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, and naming Landlord as an additional obligee; then the Restoration Fund
shall be made available to Tenant for application to pay the costs of restoration incurred by
Tenant and Tenant shall promptly complete such restoration.
19.4.2 Other Than Minor Restorations. If the estimated cost of restoration is equal
to or exceeds $1,000,000, and if Tenant provides evidence satisfactory to Landlord that sufficient
funds are available to restore the Premises, Landlord shall make disbursements from the Restoration
Fund from time to time in an amount not exceeding the cost of the work completed since the date
covered by the last disbursement, upon receipt of (a) satisfactory evidence, including architect’s
certificates, of the stage of completion, of the estimated cost of completion and of performance of
the work to date in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the contracts, plans and
specifications, (b) reasonable assurance against mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens, accrued or
incurred, as Landlord or its lenders may reasonably require, (c) contractors’ and subcontractors’
sworn statements, (d) a satisfactory bring-to-date of title insurance, (e) performance and payment
bonds reasonably acceptable to Landlord in an amount and form, and from a surety, reasonably
acceptable to Landlord, and naming Landlord as an additional obligee, (f) such other documents and
instruments as Landlord or its lenders may reasonably require, and (g) other evidence of cost and
payment so that Landlord can verify that the amounts disbursed from time to time are represented by
work that is completed, in place and free and clear of mechanics’ lien claims.
19.4.3 Requests for Disbursements. Requests for disbursement shall be made no more
frequently than monthly and shall be accompanied by a certificate of Tenant describing in detail
the work for which payment is requested, stating the cost incurred in connection therewith and
stating that Tenant has not previously received payment for such work; the certificate to be
delivered by Tenant upon completion of the work shall, in addition, state that the work has been
completed and complies with the applicable requirements of this Lease. Landlord may retain 10% of
each requisition in the Restoration Fund until the restoration is fully completed. In addition,
Landlord may withhold from amounts otherwise to be paid to Tenant, any amount that is necessary in
Landlord’s reasonable judgment to protect Landlord from any potential loss due to work that is
improperly performed or claims by Tenant’s contractors and consultants.
19.4.4 Costs in Excess of Restoration Fund. In addition, prior to commencement of
restoration and at any time during restoration, if the estimated cost of restoration, as determined
by the evaluation of an independent engineer acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, exceeds the amount
of the Restoration Fund, Tenant will provide evidence satisfactory to
27
Landlord that the amount of such excess will be available to restore the Premises. Any sum
which remains in the Restoration Fund upon completion of restoration shall be refunded to Tenant up
to the amount of Tenant’s payments pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. If no such
refund is required, any sum remaining in the Restoration Fund upon completion of restoration shall
be paid to Landlord. In the event Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on an independent engineer, an
independent engineer designated by Tenant and an independent engineer designated by Landlord shall
within five (5) business days select an independent engineer licensed to practice in Maryland who
shall resolve such dispute within ten (10) business days after being retained by Landlord. All
fees, costs and expenses of such third engineer so selected shall be shared equally by Landlord and
Tenant.
19.5 Transfer of Restoration Fund Upon Closing Under Any Tenant Purchase Option. In
the event the Tenant timely exercises and closes under any option it may have to purchase the
Premises and the restoration shall not have been completed, notwithstanding anything herein
provided to the contrary, the Landlord shall transfer to the Tenant the unexpended Restoration
Fund.
19.6 Abatement of Rent. Rent shall be temporarily abated in proportion to the degree
to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired and only to the extent of any proceeds received
by Landlord from the rental abatement insurance described in Section 10.1 hereof, during
any period when, by reason of such damage or destruction, Landlord and Tenant reasonably determines
that there is substantial interference with Tenant’s use of the Building. Such abatement shall
commence upon such damage or destruction and end upon substantial completion by Landlord of the
repair or reconstruction which Landlord is obligated or undertakes to do. Tenant shall not be
entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the Premises, damage
to Tenant’s personal property or any inconvenience occasioned by such damage, repair or
restoration.
19.7 Replacement Cost. The determination in good faith by Landlord of the estimated
cost of repair of any damage, of the replacement cost, or of the time period required for repair
shall be conclusive for purposes of this Section 19.7.
ARTICLE 20. CONDEMNATION
20.1 Total Taking — Termination. If title to all of the Premises or so much thereof
is taken for any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain so that
reconstruction of the Premises will not result in the Premises being reasonably suitable (as
reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant) for Tenant’s continued occupancy for the uses and
purposes permitted by this Lease, this Lease shall terminate as of the date possession of the
Premises or part thereof be taken.
20.2 Partial Taking. If any part of the Premises is taken and the remaining part
after Landlord makes repairs and alterations is reasonably suitable, as reasonably determined by
Landlord and Tenant, for Tenant’s continued occupancy for the purposes and uses permitted by this
Lease, this Lease shall, as to the part so taken terminate as of the date that possession of such
part of the Premises is taken and the Base Monthly Rental shall be reduced in the same proportion
that the floor area of the portion of the Building so taken (less any addition thereto by reason of
any reconstruction) bears to the original floor area of the Building. Tenant shall, at its
28
sole cost and expense, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the Building so as to make the
portion of the Building not taken a complete architectural unit in accordance with the terms and
provisions of Section 19.4, Landlord shall make available to Tenant any condemnation
proceeds it receives which are allocable to such portion of the Building in accordance with the
terms and provisions of Section 19.4. Base Monthly Rental due and payable hereunder shall
be temporarily abated during such restoration period in proportion to the degree to which Tenant’s
use of Premises is impaired. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if more than twenty-five percent (25%)
of the square footage of the Building is taken or sold under such threat, Landlord may terminate
this Lease as of the date that the condemning authority takes possession by delivery of written
notice of such election within twenty (20) days after Landlord has been notified of the taking or,
in the absence thereof, within twenty (20) days after the condemning authority shall have taken
possession.
20.3 No Apportionment of Award. Except as provided in Article 19, no award
for any partial or entire taking shall be apportioned, it being agreed and understood that Landlord
shall be entitled to the entire award for any partial or entire taking. Tenant assigns to Landlord
its interest in any award which may be made in such taking or condemnation, together with any and
all rights of Tenant arising in or to the same or any part thereof. Nothing contained herein shall
be deemed to give Landlord any interest in or require Tenant to assign to Landlord any separate
award made to Tenant for the taking of Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures or machinery for
the interruption of Tenant’s business, or its moving costs, or for the loss of its goodwill. In
addition, Tenant will have the right to make a separate claim in the condemnation proceeding for
(a) the taking of the unamortized or undepreciated value of any leasehold improvements that Tenant
has the right to remove at the end of the Lease Term and that Tenant elects not to remove, (b) loss
of goodwill, and (c) any other amount in addition to the foregoing, so long as any such claim does
not reduce the amount of the award payable to Landlord.
20.4 Temporary Taking. No temporary taking of the Premises shall terminate this Lease
or give Tenant any right to any abatement of Rent, except to the extent covered by insurance
proceeds payable to Landlord. Any award made to Tenant by reason of such temporary taking shall
belong entirely to Tenant and Landlord shall not be entitled to share therein. Each party agrees to
execute and deliver to the other all instruments that may be required to effectuate the provisions
of this Section.
20.5 Sale Under Threat of Condemnation. A sale made in good faith by Landlord to any
authority having the power of eminent domain, either under threat of condemnation or while
condemnation proceedings are pending, shall be deemed a taking under the power of eminent domain
for all purposes of this Section.
ARTICLE 21. SALE OF THE PREMISES BY LANDLORD.
21.1 Sale of Premises. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Lease to the contrary,
Landlord may assign, in whole or in part, Landlord’s interest in this Lease and may sell all or
part of the real estate of which the Premises are a part (the “Real Property”). Upon the sale of
the Premises, Landlord shall be released of all of its obligations under this Lease, to the extent
such obligations are assumed by such purchaser.
29
ARTICLE 22. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
22.1 Tenant Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall at any time during the term of this
Lease, within 10 business days of written notice from Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord a
statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if
modified, stating the nature of such modification. Tenant’s statement shall include other details
requested by Landlord, such as the date to which Rent and other charges are paid, Tenant’s
knowledge concerning any uncured defaults with respect to Landlord’s obligations under this Lease
and the nature of such defaults if they are claimed, and such other matters as Landlord may
reasonably request. Any such statement may be relied upon conclusively by any purchaser or lender
having an interest in the Premises. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statements within such time
shall be conclusive upon the Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, except as and to
the extent any modification has been represented by Landlord, and that there are no uncured
defaults in Landlord’s performance, and that not more than 1 month’s Rent has been paid in advance.
22.2 Tenant Financial Statements. Within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year,
Tenant shall provide Landlord a copy of the audited financial statements that have been provided to
the SEC or, in the event Tenant is no longer required to deliver such financial statements to the
SEC, year-end financial statements, including balance sheets and income statements, reflecting
Tenant’s current financial condition for such fiscal year that have been audited by a nationally
recognized firm of certified public accountants. Tenant represents and warrants that all financial
statements, records and information furnished by Tenant to Landlord in connection with this Lease
are true, correct and complete in all respects.
ARTICLE 23. SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT
23.1 Subordination of Lease. This Lease and Tenant’s rights under this Lease are
subject and subordinate to any Mortgage (as defined below), ground lease, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements, or extensions thereof, now or hereafter affecting the
Premises. The provisions of this Section shall be self-operative, and no further instrument of
subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, however, Tenant shall
within five business days execute and deliver any instruments that Landlord, the holder of any
Mortgage, or the Landlord of any ground lease may request to evidence such subordination. If Tenant
fails to execute and deliver any such instruments, Tenant irrevocably constitutes and appoints
Landlord as Tenant’s special attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such instruments.
23.2 Attornment to Lender. If the holder of any Mortgage, or the Landlord of any
ground lease affecting the Premises, shall hereafter succeed, by foreclosure or otherwise, to the
rights of Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such successor as
Tenant’s Landlord under this Lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instruments that may
be necessary to evidence such attornment, and Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as
Tenant’s special attorney in fact to execute and deliver such instruments on behalf of Tenant
should Tenant refuse or fail to do so. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in effect as
a direct lease between such successor Landlord and Tenant upon and subject to all of the provisions
of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant’s agreement both to subordinate and to attorn,
as set forth in this Article, is contingent upon Tenant’s receipt of a nondisturbance agreement
from the holder of any encumbrance placed against the Premises, in a recordable,
30
commercially reasonable form or in the holder’s standard form, providing that in the event of any
foreclosure, sale under a power of sale, ground or master lease termination, or transfer in lieu of
any of the foregoing, or the exercise of any other remedy under any such encumbrance, but subject
to such holder’s form exceptions, or other reasonable exceptions: (i) Tenant’s use, possession, and
enjoyment of the Premises will not be disturbed and this Lease will continue in full force and
effect so long as Tenant is not in default; and (ii) this Lease will automatically become a lease
directly between any successor to Landlord’s interest, as landlord, and Tenant, as if that
successor were the landlord originally named in the lease.
ARTICLE 24. HOLDING OVER
24.1 Holding Over. If Tenant should remain in possession of the Premises after the
expiration of the term of this Lease without executing a new lease or after Landlord has declared a
forfeiture by reason of a default by Tenant, such holding over shall be construed as a tenancy from
month to month, subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as
they are applicable to a month to month tenancy, including the provisions of Article 3, except that
the Base Monthly Rental shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Monthly Rental last
due, payable monthly in advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to vacate the
Premises or Tenant fulfills less than all of its obligations hereunder at the end of the Lease
Term, Tenant also shall be liable for all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of the latter’s
inability to deliver possession of the Premises or any portion thereof to any other person.
ARTICLE 25. EASEMENTS
25.1. Easements. Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to grant such
easements, rights and dedications that Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and to cause the
recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps
