If Tenant retains possession of any portion of the Premises for more than thirty (30) days following the Termination Date without Landlord’s written consent, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, direct, consequential, or indirect, sustained by Landlord by reason of any such holding over. Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable. “Termination Date” means the date on which this Lease terminates for any reason, including the Expiration Date. The provisions of this Section 1.3 shall not operate as a waiver by Landlord of any right of re-entry provided in this Lease.

1.4 Extension Option.
1.4.1 Exercise of Extension Option. Tenant shall have two (2) successive options (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the Term of this Lease for a period of five (5) years each (each, an “Extension Period”), on the same terms and conditions in effect under this Lease immediately prior to the Extension Period, except that Base Rent shall be determined as set forth below and Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term of this Lease after the end of the second (2nd) Extension Period; provided, however, it shall be a condition of Tenant’s exercise of the Extension Option that Tenant also exercise the corresponding “Extension Option” as defined in the Companion Lease. If Tenant exercises an Extension Option, such extension shall apply to the entire Premises. Tenant may exercise an Extension Option only by giving Landlord irrevocable and unconditional written notice thereof (the “Extension Notice”) on or before the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the commencement date of each applicable Extension Period and such Extension Period shall commence on the day immediately succeeding the expiration date of the preceding Term or the preceding Extension Period, as the case may be, and shall end at midnight Eastern Time on the last day of the applicable Extension Period. Such exercise shall, at Landlord’s election, be null and void if any Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing at the date of such notice. Upon delivery of the Extension Notice, Tenant shall be irrevocably bound to lease the Premises for the Extension Period. If Tenant shall fail to timely exercise the Extension Option in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.4, then the Extension Option shall terminate, and shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. If this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises shall terminate in any manner whatsoever before Tenant shall exercise the Extension Option, then immediately upon such termination the Extension Option shall simultaneously terminate and become null and void. Time is of the essence with regard to this Section 1.4.
1.4.2 Base Rent Determination. The Base Rent starting on the Commencement Date of each Extension Period and continuing for sixty (60) months thereafter will be ninety-five percent (95%) of the then-prevailing market rate for new leases for comparable life sciences office and lab space to the Premises in comparable buildings to the Building in the Market Area (defined below) that a willing, comparable, non-equity tenant (excluding sublease and assignment transactions) would pay, and a willing, comparable landlord would accept, at arm’s length, for a similar life sciences laboratory and research space in a first-class or “Class A” property (“Fair Market Rent”); provided, however, in no event shall the Fair Market Rent rate per month for the first year of each Extension Period be less than 103% of the Base Rent rate for the last month of the immediately preceding portion of the Term. Thereafter, escalations in the Base Rent shall be established using standard market escalations in the determination of Fair Market Rent, but in no event shall escalations in Base Rent be increased by less than three percent (3%) on each annual anniversary of the Commencement Date of the Extension Term. Fair Market Rent will reflect all monetary and non-monetary considerations and other relevant factors taken into account for comparable transactions, including, without limitation, the location of the Premises, age, quality and layout of the existing improvements in the Premises, brokerage commissions, improvements paid for by tenant improvement allowances, moving allowances, and all other relevant tenant concessions. Fair Market Rent will be adjusted to take into account the size of the Premises, the length of the Extension Period, and the credit of Tenant. The term “Market Area” means the real estate market area that includes Carlsbad, Sorrento Valley, Sorrento Mesa, University Town Center, and Delmar Heights.
3

1.4.3 Fair Market Rent. Landlord will notify Tenant of its determination of the Fair Market Rent (consistent with the methodology reflected above) for the applicable Extension Period no later than ninety (90) days prior to the commencement date of the applicable Extension Period. If Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord within ten (10) business days after its receipt of Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent whereby Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall include in its notice Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rent, and Landlord and Tenant will diligently and in good-faith confer for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter (the “Negotiation Period”) in an attempt to agree on the Fair Market Rent. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent during the Negotiation Period, then, within five (5) business days after the expiration of such period, Landlord and Tenant shall jointly appoint an independent arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) who shall not have previously been employed by or otherwise worked with either Landlord or Tenant with experience in real estate activities, including at least ten (10) years’ experience serving as a broker, appraiser and/or attorney in leasing transactions involving commercial life sciences laboratory and research space of comparable size and Class A quality to the Premises (collectively, the “Qualifications”), which Arbitrator shall, within twenty (20) days following the Arbitrator’s appointment, determine and report in writing to Landlord and Tenant the by selecting either Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Extension Period, according to whichever of the applicable determinations is closer to the Fair Market Rent, as determined by the Arbitrator. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the Arbitrator in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord or Tenant may apply to the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Arbitrator in accordance with the aforementioned criteria. The Arbitrator shall have no discretion other than to select Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination of the Fair Market Rent as aforesaid. The costs of the Arbitrator shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant, and each of Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with the Arbitrator in providing documentation and any other reasonable evidence regarding how Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, arrived at its determination of the Fair Market Rent. If the Renewal Period commences prior to the final determination of the Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the monthly rate in effect immediately prior to the commencement of the applicable Renewal Period, subject to adjustment upon resolution of such dispute.
1.4.4 General. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section to the contrary, the Extension Option shall be void, at Landlord’s election, if (i) Tenant is in default hereunder, after any applicable notice and cure periods have expired, at the time Tenant elects to extend the Term or at the time the Term would expire but for such extension, or (ii) any Transfer has occurred under Article 5 of the Lease (other than a Permitted Transfer, or a sublease(s) comprising less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises).
ARTICLE 2
RENT
2.1 Base Rent and Additional Rent.
2.1.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without notice or demand and without deduction or set-off of any amount for any reason whatsoever, the annual Base Rent in equal monthly payments, in advance, beginning on the Commencement Date, and thereafter on or before the first day of each full calendar month during the Term. Base Rent as well as any other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall be paid by wire or electronic transfer of funds pursuant to directions provided to Tenant by Landlord. In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a property management fee (“Management Fee”) of one percent 1%) of the gross annual revenue form the Premises, which amount shall be paid in equal monthly payments on the same date and in the same manner as Base Rent.
4

2.1.2 No later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the Delivery Date, Landlord will provide written notice (the “Estimated Calculation Notice”) of Landlord’s calculation of the initial amount of Base Rent using a preliminary estimate of the Construction Costs, to the extent they are known at the time of the Estimated Calculation Notice. Until the Landlord provides the Final Calculation Notice (as defined below), commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay the estimated annual Base Rent amount set forth in the Estimated Calculation Notice in equal monthly installments for the applicable month(s). On or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date that the Tenant Improvements with respect to the Day 2 Space (as defined in the Work Letter) and the TI by Landlord are substantially completed Landlord will provide written notice (the “Final Calculation Notice”) of Landlord’s calculation of the initial amount of Base Rent using the final amount of Construction Costs. Tenant will pay any underpayment of Base Rent, and Landlord will credit to Tenant’s account any overpayment of Base Rent, based upon the difference between the estimated Base Rent actually paid by Tenant and the amount of Base Rent set forth in the Final Calculation Notice. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the Commencement Date the prorated Base Rent for period from the Commencement Date until the end of the calendar month in which the Commencement Date occurs. Base Rent due for any partial calendar month at the end of the Term shall also be prorated and paid on the first day of such calendar month. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all items of Rent (as defined below), without deduction or offset and without notice or demand (except as specifically provided in this Lease in respect of Additional Rent (as defined below)), and Tenant shall deliver such payments to the payment address set forth in the Basic Lease Information, or to such other person, at such other place, or in such other manner as Landlord may designate by giving to Tenant Notice (as defined below) thereof. “Additional Rent” means all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with this Lease, other than Base Rent. “Rent” means all amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with this Lease, including, but not limited to Base Rent and Additional Rent.
2.1.3 Landlord shall, on or within thirty (30) days prior to each Adjustment Date, calculate the Escalation after the United States Department of Labor publishes the Index on which the amount of the increase will be based. Landlord’s determination of the Escalation shall be binding absent manifest error. Landlord shall give written notice of the Escalation, multiplied by the number of installments of rent due under this Lease since the Adjustment Date. Tenant shall pay this amount, together with the monthly rent next becoming due under this Lease, and shall thereafter pay the monthly rent due under this Lease at this increased rate, which shall constitute Base Rent. Landlord’s failure to make the required calculations promptly shall not be considered a waiver of Landlord’s rights to adjust the monthly Base Rent due, nor shall it affect Tenant’s obligations to pay the increased Base Rent, subject to this Section 2.1.3. If Landlord does not deliver its calculation of the Escalation within twelve (12) months after the applicable Adjustment Date, Tenant may provide Landlord with a written request for the calculation of the Escalation, and, if Landlord fails to provide the calculation of Escalation (which request shall include, in bold and prominent print on the first page, a notation that “FAILURE TO RESOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN 30 DAYS MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF RIGHTS PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.1.3 OF THE LEASE”) within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s written request, Tenant shall not be required to so pay the increased Base Rent in arrearage for the applicable period based on an Escalation; provided, however, the foregoing waiver of Tenant’s obligation to pay arrearage amounts for the applicable period shall not affect Landlord’s calculation of any future Escalations. If the Index is changed so that the base year differs from that in effect on the Commencement Date, the Index shall be converted in accordance with the conversion factor published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the Index is discontinued or revised during the Term, the government index or computation with which it is replaced shall be used to obtain substantially the same result as if the Index had not been discontinued or revised. The “Adjustment Date” means the first anniversary of the Commencement Date and on each successive anniversary thereafter during the Term, including any exercised Extension Period.
5

2.2 Expenses; Taxes; Insurance Expenses.
2.2.1 Expenses. Except as provided in the Work Letter regarding any Warranty Issue, Tenant shall perform all obligations with respect to the maintenance, operation, repair and replacement of the Premises and shall pay directly for all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to: all insurance, maintenance, repair and replacement of any improvements (including, without limitation, the Building, the structural and nonstructural components of the Building, the Building systems, equipment (owned and maintained), the foundation, roof, walls, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, utility (owned and maintained) and safety systems, paving and parking areas, roads and driveways); maintenance of exterior areas such as gardening and landscaping, snow removal and signage; maintenance and repair of roof membrane, flashings, gutters, downspouts, roof drains, skylights and waterproofing; painting; lighting; cleaning; refuse removal; security; utilities for, or the maintenance of, outside areas; Premises personnel costs; rentals or lease payments paid by Tenant for rented or leased personal property used in the operation or maintenance of the Premises; and fees for required licenses and permits, including in order to operate for the Permitted Use.

Tenant and Landlord acknowledge that Proposition 13 was adopted by the voters of the State of California in the June 1978 election (“Proposition 13”) and that assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges may be imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants, and, in further recognition of the decrease in the level and quality of governmental services and amenities as a result of Proposition 13, Taxes shall also include any governmental or private assessments or contribution towards a governmental or private cost-sharing agreement charged to the Premises for the purpose of augmenting or improving the quality of services and amenities normally provided by governmental agencies. Taxes shall not include (i) Landlord’s corporate franchise taxes, estate taxes, inheritance taxes or net income taxes, or (ii) transfer taxes or other taxes incurred in connection with Landlord’s sale of the Premises or any interest therein, other than taxes resulting from Proposition 13 reassessment. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after the last day when any Tax must be paid by Tenant as provided in this Section 2.2.2, official receipt of the appropriate taxing authority or other proof satisfactory to Landlord, evidencing the payment thereof. Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and upon reasonable prior notice to Landlord, to initiate and prosecute any proceeding for the purpose of contesting the assessed valuation of the Premises or any personal property for tax purposes in good faith; provided, that this right to contest shall not be deemed or construed to relieve, modify or extend Tenant’s obligation to pay any Taxes allocable to the Term in a timely manner and prior to when the same shall become due and payable and that prior to any such contest, Tenant (a) pays the Tax under protest, (b) obtains and maintains a stay of all proceedings for enforcement and collection by posting a bond or other security required by law, or (c) if Tenant lawfully withholds payments of any contested amounts of Taxes during the contest, Tenant has or establishes unrestricted cash reserves to be held by Landlord in an amount equal to 125% of (x) the amount of Tenant’s obligations being contested plus (y) any additional interest, charge or penalty arising from such contest; provided, however, that Landlord shall (1) promptly release such reserve upon resolution of such contest, and/or (2) use such reserve to pay Taxes directly to the applicable taxing authority following resolution of such contest. Tenant shall provide Landlord with all notices received or sent to the taxing authorities, as well as regular updates relating to any such contest and afford Landlord an opportunity to participate in all such proceedings. Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord and save Landlord harmless from all losses, judgments, costs (including without limitation, attorneys’ fees), liabilities and expenses incurred in connection with such proceedings and shall, promptly after the final determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge the amounts which shall be levied, assessed, charged or imposed or be determined to be payable therein or in connection therewith, together with all penalties, fines, costs and expenses thereof or in connection therewith). Landlord shall have the right to (a) contest or dispute any Taxes (or file an appeal related thereto), without Tenant’s prior written consent, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, or (b) request that Tenant contest or dispute such Taxes (or file an appeal related thereto), in which event, Tenant, in Tenant’s sole discretion, may agree to contest or dispute such Taxes, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If an Event of Default occurs or if otherwise required by any Mortgagee or lender of Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may require Tenant to make monthly estimated payments to Landlord on account of Taxes. The monthly payments shall be one twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of Taxes due for the applicable year as reasonably estimated by Landlord and shall be payable as Additional Rent on or before the first day of each month during the Term, in advance; provided, that, Landlord shall have the right to revise such estimates from time to time. So long as no Event of Default is then continuing, any amounts received by Landlord pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be disbursed to Tenant by Landlord for payment to the applicable taxing authority (or paid to the applicable taxing authority directly by Landlord) when directed by Tenant, accompanied by evidence of the amount due. Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with evidence of any such payments of Taxes made directly by Landlord.

2.2.3 Landlord’s Insurance. Tenant shall reimburse or, at Landlord’s request, pay directly, all premiums, deductibles, and other costs incurred by Landlord in connection with obtaining and maintaining the insurance coverage described in Section 6.2.1 below (collectively, the “Insurance Expenses”). Tenant shall pay the Insurance Expenses no later than fifteen (15) days after demand. If an Event of Default occurs or if otherwise required by any Mortgagee or lender of Landlord, Landlord, at its option, may require Tenant to make monthly estimated payments to Landlord on account of Insurance Expenses. The monthly payments shall be one twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of Insurance Expenses due for the applicable year as reasonably estimated by Landlord and shall be payable as Additional Rent on or before the first day of each month during the Term, in advance; provided, that, Landlord shall have the right to revise such estimates from time to time. If Landlord requires monthly payments of the Insurance Expenses, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to provide a statement reconciling such payments within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year, and any underpayments shall paid by Tenant within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt of the statement, and any overpayments shall be credited to the next payment of Rent that becomes due under the Lease.
2.3 Net Lease.
2.3.1 Absolute Triple Net Lease. It is intended by the parties that this Lease be an absolute “triple net lease,” imposing upon Tenant the obligation to pay all charges of every kind and nature in connection with the use, operation, management, maintenance, repair, and occupancy of the Premises, whether or not recited herein and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, including, but not limited to, utilities, fees, costs, real estate taxes, sales and use taxes, all operation, management, maintenance and repair costs associated with the Premises and the improvements located thereon and costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, except as expressly provided in this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, net throughout the Term, the Rent due hereunder free of any offset, abatement, or other deduction whatsoever, without notice or demand. Except to the extent due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of contract by, Landlord or any of Landlord’s assignees, agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (or any of Landlord’s assignees respective agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors) (collectively, “Landlord Parties”; any of them, a “Landlord Party”), Tenant assumes the sole responsibility for the condition, use, operation, maintenance, management and compliance with Environmental Laws of the Premises, and Landlord shall have no responsibility in respect thereof and shall have no liability for damage to Tenant’s personalty on any account or for any reason whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to pay, or reimburse Landlord for: (i) depreciation charges, penalties, premiums, interest and principal payments on mortgages and other debt costs, ground rental payments and real estate brokerage and leasing commissions incurred by Landlord; (ii) costs incurred for Landlord’s general overhead and any property or asset management fee other than as expressly set forth in this Lease; (iii) costs of selling or financing any of Landlord’s interest in the Premises; (iv) costs incurred by Landlord which are reimbursed by property insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord where such proceeds result from a claim subject to the provisions of Section 6.2.3. below; and (v) reserves in excess of commercially reasonable amounts for comparable properties (and such reserves shall only be payable by Tenant if required by Landlord’s lender or in accordance with commercially reasonable business practices for comparable properties).
2.3.2 Payments to Third Parties. Subject to Section 2.2.3(c) below, Landlord and Tenant recognize that there may be recurring payments to third parties, including governmental entities, for various items including inspections of storm water retention areas, inspections of pump stations, fees for storm water runoff, and assessments for maintenance and repairs under a Title Instrument (as defined below). Tenant is solely responsible for paying any fees or expenses imposed by governmental regulations or third parties, including those that may be required to obtain, modify and maintain compliance with any permits, licenses and approvals required by Applicable Laws, including for the use of and operation at the Premises by Tenant for the Permitted Use, or allocated to the Premises under any such Title Instrument. Tenant acknowledges that matters of the type contemplated by this Section may not be known to Landlord until after this Lease has been signed by Landlord and Tenant.
8

2.3.3 Title Instruments. In addition to the foregoing, during the term of this Lease, Tenant shall timely perform all obligations of the owner of the Premises under, and pay all expenses which the owner of the Premises may be required to pay in accordance with any declarations, covenants, conditions and restrictions or reciprocal easement agreements or any other documents or instruments that are of record now and affect the Premises (or of record in the future if created or filed by or with the consent of Tenant), including, without limitation, any documents or instruments recorded in connection with any Future Development (referred to collectively herein as the “Title Instruments”); provided, however, Tenant need not pay any debt service on loans that encumber the fee estate and that do not encumber Tenant’s leasehold estate and Tenant need not pay any rent on any lease that is senior in priority to this Lease. Tenant promptly shall comply with all of the terms and provisions of all Title Instruments, including all insurance requirements, regardless of whether any such requirements exceed the requirements otherwise set forth in this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 10.5, Landlord shall not enter into new Title Instruments or modify existing Title Instruments during the Term without Tenant’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Tenant’s reasonable discretion; provided, however, that Tenant’s prior written consent shall not be required with respect to (i) any financing obtained by Landlord secured by Landlord’s interest in the Premises, (ii) Title Instruments necessary to effectuate transfers to third-party purchasers of the Premises, or (iii) any new Title Instruments or the modification of existing Title Instruments that do not (x) materially and adversely affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises or (y) impose any fees or costs that would be payable by Tenant unless Landlord agrees to pay such fees.
2.4 Interest and Late Charge. If Tenant fails to pay Rent as and when due and such failure continues for three (3) business days following written notice from Landlord, then, together with each payment of Rent that Tenant pays to Landlord after such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Late Charge (as defined below) and interest calculated on the amount of such payment over the period commencing on the day immediately following the day on which such payment was due and ending on the day on which Tenant pays to Landlord such payment at the rate of the lesser of six percent (6%) over the “Prime Rate” announced from time to time by Bank of America or its successor or the maximum lawful rate of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to provide prior notice of Tenant’s failure to pay Base Rent or any recurring obligation to pay Rent more than once during any twelve (12) month period, after which Tenant’s failure to pay such amount shall be subject to the Late Charge and default interest provided above if Tenant fails to pay the amount when due and such failure continues for three (3) business days after the due date. “Late Charge” means, in respect of any such payment, five percent (5%) of such payment. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a reasonable fee for any checks returned by Tenant’s bank for any reason.

2.5 Security Deposit/Letter of Credit.
2.5.1 Within three (3) Business Days of Tenant’s execution of this Lease, and in lieu of a cash security deposit, Tenant shall provide a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount set forth as the “Security Deposit/Letter of Credit” in the Basic Lease Information. Any cash security deposit drawn from the Letter of Credit may be mingled with other funds of Landlord and no fiduciary relationship shall be created with respect to such deposit, nor shall Landlord be liable to pay Tenant interest thereon. The initial amount of the Letter of Credit shall be determined using Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the Base Rent at the time of the execution of the Lease, and within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Final Calculation Notice the Letter of Credit shall be modified or reissued in the required amount as determined using the Base Rent set forth in the Final Calculation Notice. Provided that Tenant has not assigned its interest in this Lease (other than with respect to a Permitted Transfer) and there is no uncured Event of Default, on each of (i) the second (2nd) anniversary of the Commencement Date, and (ii) the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Commencement Date, and (iii) the date when Tenant has either commenced the Tenant Improvements for the Day 2 Space in accordance with the Work Letter or the parties have otherwise entered into a mutually agreeable modification to this Lease that eliminates Tenant’s phasing of the Tenant Improvements such that the entire Premises is fit-out in one phase, Tenant may notify Landlord in writing (the “Reduction Request”) and request the reduction of the Letter of Credit. The amount of reduction of the Letter of Credit shall be (A) equal to two (2) months of the initial Base Rent for each of the conditions described in clauses (i) and (ii) in the foregoing sentence, and (B) an amount equal to the Day 2 Improvements Security for the condition described in clause (iii) of the foregoing sentence (in each case, the “Reduction Amount”). Provided that the applicable conditions above have been satisfied at the time Landlord receives a Reduction Request, Landlord shall instruct the Bank, within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Reduction Request, that the Letter of Credit may be reduced by the applicable Reduction Amount. In no event shall the Letter of Credit be reduced to an amount less than six (6) months of the initial Base Rent.
2.5.2 The Letter of Credit (i) shall be irrevocable and shall be issued by a commercial bank that has a financial condition reasonably acceptable to Landlord and that is otherwise an Eligible Bank (as defined below) and has an office in San Francisco, California that accepts requests for draws on the Letter of Credit; provided, Silicon Valley Bank shall be deemed an approved issuer of the Letter of Credit so long as Silicon Valley Bank remains an Eligible Bank, (ii) shall require only the presentation to the issuer (which may be in a location other than San Francisco if permitted on the basis of a fax or electronic submittal only) a certificate of the holder of the Letter of Credit stating that Landlord is entitled to draw on the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of the Lease, (iii) shall be payable to Landlord or its successors in interest as the Landlord and shall be freely transferable without cost to any such successor or any lender holding a collateral assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease, (iv) shall be for an initial term of not less than one year and contain a provision that such term shall be automatically renewed for successive one-year periods unless the issuer shall, at least forty five (45) days prior to the scheduled expiration date, give Landlord notice of such nonrenewal, (v) shall be transferrable by Landlord without any cost to Landlord or the transferee (or, if there is a transfer fee, Tenant shall pay such fee and such transfer shall not be conditioned upon payment of such fee), and (vi) shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term of the Letter of Credit for the final period shall be for a term ending not earlier than the date forty-five (45) days after the last day of the Term. In the event that the issuer ceases to be reasonably acceptable to Landlord, due to a deterioration in its financial condition or change in status that threatens to compromise Landlord’s ability to draw on the Letter of Credit as determined in good faith by Landlord or otherwise by its failure to be an Eligible Bank, then Tenant shall provide a replacement Letter of Credit from an issuer satisfying the terms of this Section 2.5.2 within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s notice of such event. “Eligible Bank” shall mean shall mean a commercial or savings bank organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia and having total assets in excess of $1,000,000,000.00 that shall be a financial institution having a rating of not less than BBB or its equivalent by Standard and Poors Corporation and subject to a Thompson Watch Rating of C or better.
10

2.5.3 The Letter of Credit shall be held by, or for the benefit of Landlord, as security for the performance of the provisions hereof by Tenant, including, without limitation, as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the Work Letter, and if the Letter of Credit or portion thereof is applied by Landlord for the payment of any Rent or any other sum in default or as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the Work Letter, then Tenant shall, upon demand therefor, restore the Letter of Credit to its original amount as provided in Section 2.5.1 above. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes any and all rights, benefits, or protections, if any, Tenant now has, or in the future may have under any provision of law which (i) establishes the time frame by which a landlord must refund a security deposit under a lease, or (ii) provides that a landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of rent, or to repair damage caused by a tenant or to clean the subject premises, as required and subject to the provisions of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that (A) any statutory time frames for the return of a security deposit are superseded by the express period identified in this Section 2.5, and (B) rather than be so limited, Landlord may claim from the security deposit (i) any and all sums expressly identified in this Section 2.4, above, and (ii) any additional sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any and all losses or damages caused by Tenant’s default of this Lease, including, but not limited to, all damages or rent due upon termination of this Lease.
2.5.4 Landlord shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit for its full amount or any portion thereof if (a) Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under the Lease after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, or fail to perform any of its obligations under the Lease and transmittal of a default notice or the running of any cure period is barred or tolled by Applicable Law, or fail to perform any of its obligations under the Lease and any applicable notice and cure period would expire after the expiration of the Letter of Credit, (b) not less than thirty (30) days before the scheduled expiration of the Letter of Credit, Tenant has not delivered to Landlord a new Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section; provided no such delivery shall be required if the Letter of Credit provides for automatic renewals in compliance with Section 2.5.2, and the issuer of the Letter of Credit has not sent a notice of non-renewal, (c) as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the Work Letter attached as Exhibit B, or (d) as provided in Schedule 8 to the Work Letter attached as Exhibit B. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, draw on the Letter of Credit from time to time in the event of a bankruptcy filing by or against Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord, in such order as Landlord may determine, for all or any part of any unpaid rent, any damages arising from any termination of the Lease in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and/or any damages arising from any rejection of the Lease in a bankruptcy proceeding commenced by or against Tenant. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, apply the amount so drawn to the extent necessary to cure Tenant’s failure.
11

2.5.5 Any amount of the Letter of Credit drawn in excess of the amount applied by Landlord to cure any such failure, as provided in Section 6.4(a) of the Work Letter, or as provided on Schedule 8 to the Work Letter shall be held by Landlord as a cash security deposit for the performance by Tenant of its obligations under the Lease. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under the Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obliged to, apply the cash security deposit to the extent necessary to cure Tenant’s failure. After any such application by Landlord of the Letter of Credit or cash security deposit, as the case may be, Tenant shall reinstate the Letter of Credit to the amount originally required to be maintained under the Lease, within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s demand. Provided that Tenant is not then in default under the Lease, and no condition exists or event has occurred that after the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period would constitute such a default, within forty five (45) days after the later to occur of (i) the payment of the final Rent due from Tenant or (ii) the later to occur of the Term Expiration Date or the date on which Tenant surrenders the Premises to Landlord in compliance with Section 20 of the Lease, the Letter of Credit and any cash security deposit, to the extent not applied or held by Landlord for the purposes described in Section 6.4(a) of or Schedule 8 to the Work Letter, shall be returned to the Tenant, without interest, and Landlord, upon request, shall confirm termination of the Letter of Credit with the issuer thereof.
2.5.6 In the event of a sale of the Building or lease, conveyance or transfer of the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit or cash security deposit to the transferee. Upon such transfer, the transferring Landlord shall be released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security, and Tenant agrees to look to the transferee solely for the return of said security. The provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the security to such a transferee. Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Letter of Credit or the monies deposited herein as security, and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.
2.5.7 Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that in no event or circumstance shall the Letter of Credit, any renewal thereof or substitute therefor or the proceeds thereof be (i) deemed to be or treated as a security deposit within the meaning of California Civil Code Section 1950.7, (ii) subject to the terms of such Section 1950.7, or (iii) intended to serve as a security deposit within the meaning of such Section 1950.7. The parties hereto (A) recite that the Letter of Credit is not intended to serve as a security deposit and such Section 1950.7 and any and all other laws, rules and regulations applicable to security deposits in the commercial context (“Security Deposit Laws”) shall have no applicability or relevancy thereto, and (B) waive any and all rights, duties and obligations either party may now or, in the future, will have relating to or arising from the Security Deposit Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent California Civil Code 1950.7 in any way: (a) is determined to be applicable to this Lease or the Letter of Credit (or any proceeds thereof); or (b) controls Landlord’s rights to draw on the Letter of Credit or apply the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any amounts due under this Lease or any damages Landlord may suffer following termination of this Lease, then Tenant fully and irrevocably waives the benefits and protections of Section 1950.7 of the California Civil Code, it being agreed that Landlord may recover from the Letter of Credit (or its proceeds) all of Landlord’s damages under this Lease and California law including, but not limited to, any damages accruing upon the termination of this Lease in accordance with this Lease and Section 1951.2 of the California Civil Code.

ARTICLE 3
USE, COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, DOGS
3.1 Use. Tenant shall use the Premises solely for the Permitted Use, in a manner consistent with first-class life science buildings, and shall comply (and ensure that the Premises at all times comply) with all Applicable Laws. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the securing, modifying, maintaining, and compliance with any and all permits, licenses and approvals required or that may be required or otherwise in effect for the Permitted Use and under Environmental Laws in connection with Tenant’s use and operation of the Premises. Tenant shall not commit, or allow to commit, any waste of or injury to the Premises or create, maintain or exacerbate any nuisance thereon or therefrom. Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in obtaining any permits, licenses and approvals required by Applicable Laws for the use of and operation at the Premises by Tenant for the Permitted Use, including, without limitation, by executing or joining in the execution of such applications and other documentation (the form and content of which shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval) in Landlord’s name, solely as and because Landlord is the fee simple owner of the Premises, as may be necessary for obtaining such permits, licenses and approvals, all without cost or liability to Landlord. Tenant shall operate in a first-class manner and shall not exceed the density limit for the Building under Applicable Laws. Tenant shall not commit waste or cause a public nuisance.
3.2 Compliance with Applicable Laws. Tenant shall comply with all Applicable Laws and any agreements between Tenant and third parties with respect to the Premises and Tenant’s operation at the Premises. It is intended that the Tenant bear the sole risk of all present or future Applicable Laws, regulations and orders affecting the Premises, and the Landlord shall not be liable for their enforcement. Should there be any material noncompliance or alleged material noncompliance by Tenant with Applicable Laws or agreements between Tenant and third parties with respect to the Premises and Tenant’s operation at the Premises, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing of such actual or alleged noncompliance, which notice shall include (i) documentation that such actual or alleged noncompliance has been fully addressed and eliminated or, (ii) if such actual or alleged noncompliance has not been fully addressed and eliminated, a schedule to fully and expeditiously address and eliminate such actual or alleged noncompliance. The giving of such notice shall not relieve Tenant of any liability to Landlord or others for such actual or alleged noncompliance. To ensure Tenant’s compliance with Applicable Laws and Tenant’s performance of Tenant’s management, repair, maintenance, and compliance obligations hereunder, upon reasonable notice to Tenant and subject to and in accordance with Applicable Laws and reasonable confidentiality requirements pertaining to Tenant’s operations (provided such requirements do not impair or delay Landlord’s rights under this Section), Landlord may inspect or cause non-invasive independent third party inspections of the facility and Tenant’s operation to confirm compliance with Applicable Laws and Tenant’s management, repair, maintenance, and compliance obligations hereunder, at Landlord’s expense, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3.7.
13

3.3 Hazardous Materials.
3.3.1 Tenant, and any of Tenant’s assignees, sublessees, licensees, agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (or any of Tenant’s assignees, sublessees and/or licensees respective agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors) (collectively, “Tenant Parties”; any of them, a “Tenant Party”) (a) shall not, and shall not permit at any time, the handling, use, manufacture, release, storage, or disposal of Hazardous Materials in or about any portion of the Premises in violation of Applicable Laws, (b) shall always manage, handle, use, store, and dispose of such Hazardous Materials in a safe manner, according to prudent industry practice, and in compliance with Applicable Laws, and (c) shall at all times have any and all required permits, licenses and approvals required for or in connection with, the use and handling of Hazardous Materials at the Premises and at all times be in compliance with such required permits, licenses and approvals. “Hazardous Materials” means (a) any and all substances (whether solid, liquid or gas) defined, listed or otherwise classified or regulated as “biological compounds”, “bio-hazardous wastes”, “radiological elements”, “hazardous wastes,” “hazardous materials,” “hazardous substances,” “toxic substances,” “pollutants,” “contaminants,” “radioactive materials”, “toxic pollutants”, “solid wastes,” or other similar designations in, or otherwise subject to regulation under Environmental Laws, and (b) any other substances, constituents or wastes that are deemed to have a negative impact on human health or the environment, whether or not naturally occurring, or that are subject to Environmental Law, now or hereafter in effect, including but not limited to (A) petroleum, (B) refined petroleum products, (C) waste oil, (D) waste aviation or motor vehicle fuel and their byproducts, (E) asbestos, (F) lead in water, paint or elsewhere, (G) radon, (H) Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), (I) urea formaldehyde, (J) volatile organic compounds (VOC), (K) total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH), (L) benzene derivative (BTEX), (M) poly- and perfluoroalkyl substances and other emerging contaminants, and (N) petroleum byproducts. Hazardous Materials further includes flammables, explosives, corrosive materials, radioactive materials, materials capable of emitting toxic fumes, hazardous wastes, toxic wastes or materials, and other similar substances, petroleum products and derivatives, and any substance subject to regulation by or under any Environmental Law. As between Landlord and Tenant, Tenant is deemed to be the operator of the Premises, the generator of any Hazardous Materials waste present at or generated at the Premises or as part of Tenant’s operations, and the owner of all Hazardous Materials at the Premises at any and all times during the Term. On or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove from the Premises all Hazardous Materials introduced to the Premises by Tenant, any other Party or any other party other than Landlord during the Term of the Lease, regardless of whether such Hazardous Materials are included on the Hazardous Materials List or present at the Premises in concentrations which require removal under Applicable Laws. As used herein, the term “Contamination” means the presence of Hazardous Materials in the air, soil, surface and/or ground water in, on or under the Premises and/or any adjacent property at levels above those permitted by applicable Environmental Laws.
3.3.2 Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 3.3 to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use. Tenant may operate its business according to best industry practices so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored according to all then applicable Environmental Laws, all Hazardous Materials at the Premises are used in the operation of Tenant’s business, and such use is consistent with similar first-class facilities engaged in the Permitted Use in the greater San Diego County area. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no right to install any underground storage tanks at the Premises unless Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. In conducting its research activities using Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall not perform work at or above the risk category Biosafety Level 3 as established by the Department of Health and Human Services publication Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (5th Edition) (as it may be or may have been further revised, the “BMBL”) or such nationally recognized new or replacement standards as Landlord may reasonable designate, without the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed (and if such change in Tenant’s operation requires the approval of Landlord’s lender, the lender’s denial of approval shall be deemed a reasonable basis for Landlord to deny its approval); provided, however, Landlord’s approval of any operation above the risk category Biosafety Level 3 shall be in Landlord’s sole discretion. Tenant shall comply with all applicable provisions of the standards of the BMBL to the extent applicable to Tenant’s operations in the Premises.
14

3.3.3 As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Materials (other than ordinary office and cleaning supplies used in cleaning of the office spaces within the Building) to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence, use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of such Hazardous Materials on or from the Premises (“Hazardous Materials List”). Upon Landlord’s request (not more than once per year, unless Landlord has a reasonable belief that Tenant is not in compliance with this Section 3.3, a release or threatened release of Hazardous Materials has occurred, or in connection with a sale, financing, refinancing, or recapitalization of Landlord’s interest in the Premises), or any time that Tenant is required to deliver a Hazardous Materials List to any governmental authority (e.g., the fire department) or an insurer in connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of such Hazardous Materials List. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (the “Haz Mat Documents”) relating to the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials prior to the Commencement Date, or if unavailable at that time, concurrent with the receipt from or submission to a governmental authority: permits; licenses, approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; notice of violations of any Applicable Laws; fire safety plans; spill response plans; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Premises (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion with respect to underground storage tanks); all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all governmental authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or under the Premises for the closure of any such tanks; and a Surrender Plan (to the extent surrender in accordance with Section 3.3.9 cannot be accomplished in three (3) months). Tenant is not required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the Haz Mat Documents containing proprietary information of a proprietary nature that, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities. It is not the intent of this Section to provide Landlord with information that could be detrimental to Tenant’s business should such information become possessed by Tenant’s competitors.
15

3.3.4 Except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or breach of contract by, Landlord or Landlord Parties, Tenant releases Landlord and Landlord Parties from and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord Parties harmless for, from and against any and all actions (including, without limitation, remedial or enforcement actions of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising out of or resulting therefrom), costs, claims, damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages and damages based upon diminution in value of the Premises, or the loss of, or restriction on, use of the Premises), expenses (including, without limitation, legal, consultants’ and experts’ fees, court costs and amounts paid in settlement of any claims or actions), fines, forfeitures or other civil, administrative or criminal penalties, injunctive or other relief (whether or not based upon personal injury, property damage, or Contamination of, or adverse effects upon, the environment, water tables or natural resources), liabilities or losses (i) that arise prior to, during, or after the Term, as a result of the presence, suspected presence, release, or suspected release of any Hazardous Materials in or into the environment, including the air, soil, surface water, or groundwater at, on, about, under, emanating to or from, having emanated to or from, or within the Premises, or any portion thereof caused or exacerbated by, or otherwise attributable to, Tenant or any other party (other than Landlord or Landlord Parties) prior to the date that Tenant vacates the Premises in the condition required following the termination or earlier expiration of the Term, or (ii) that arise prior to, during, or after the Term, as a result of the breach by Tenant of any of its obligations under this Section 3.3, including in each case, without limitation, the cost of assessment, containment and/or removal of any such Hazardous Materials, the reasonable and necessary cost of any actions taken in response to a release of any such Hazardous Materials so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the environment, and costs incurred to comply with Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of the Premises or the operation thereof (or any surrounding areas for which Tenant or Landlord has any legal liability or obligation) during the Term.
3.3.5 EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, LANDLORD LEASES AND WILL LEASE, AND TENANT TAKES AND WILL TAKE, THE PREMISES IN AN ENVIRONMENTALLY “AS IS” CONDITION, AND TENANT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LANDLORD HAS NOT MADE AND WILL NOT MAKE, NOR SHALL LANDLORD BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE, ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PREMISES, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION AS TO FITNESS OF THE PREMISES FOR ANY PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE, AS TO THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS, LATENT OR PATENT, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, OR ANY AIR, SOIL, SOIL GAS, OR GROUNDWATER CONDITION, IT BEING AGREED THAT ALL RISKS AND LIABILITY INCIDENT TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING ARE TO BE BORNE BY TENANT
3.3.6 Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) neither Tenant nor any of its legal predecessors has been required by any prior landlord, lender or governmental authority at any time to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating the natural environment, which contamination was caused or permitted by Tenant or such predecessor or resulted from Tenant’s or such predecessor’s acts, omissions, or use or occupation of the property in question, and (ii) Tenant is not subject to any enforcement order issued, or regulatory proceedings or prosecution commenced, by any governmental authority in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any governmental authority).
16

3.3.7 Upon prior notice and using reasonable efforts to coordinate with Tenant, Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to conduct annual tests (or at any time Landlord has a reasonable belief that Tenant is not in compliance with this Section 3.3) of the Premises including, without limitation, intrusive tests of the subsurface soil and/or ground water, to determine whether any Contamination of the Premises has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use or occupation. Landlord shall pay the cost of such test of the Premises; provided, however, that if such tests show any Contamination of the Premises has occurred as a result of Tenant’s use or occupation, Tenant shall pay the cost of such test. In connection with such testing, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such non-proprietary information concerning the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party as Landlord may reasonably request. If Contamination has occurred for which Tenant is liable under this Section 3.3, Tenant shall pay all costs to conduct such tests. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and satisfactorily remediate any Contamination identified by such testing in accordance with all Environmental Laws. Landlord’s receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights that Landlord may have against Tenant.
3.3.8 Furthermore, upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of Tenant’s right of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord free of Hazardous Materials brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by any person other than Landlord (collectively, “Tenant’s Hazardous Materials”) and released of any license, clearance or other authorization or requirement of any kind required to enter into and restore the Premises issued by any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release, disposal, removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Premises (collectively referred to herein as “Hazardous Materials Clearances”). At least three (3) months prior to the surrender of the Premises or such earlier date as Tenant may elect to cease operations at the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a narrative description of the actions proposed (or required by any governmental authority) to be taken by Tenant in order to surrender the Premises (including any Alterations permitted by Landlord to remain in the Premises) at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, free from any residual impact from Tenant’s Hazardous Materials and otherwise released for unrestricted use and occupancy (the “Surrender Plan”). Such Surrender Plan shall be accompanied by a current listing of (i) all Hazardous Materials licenses and permits held by or on behalf of any Tenant Party with respect to the Premises, and (ii) all Hazardous Materials used, stored, handled, treated, generated, released or disposed of from the Premises, and shall be subject to the review and reasonable approval of Landlord’s environmental consultant. In connection with the review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional non-proprietary information concerning Tenant’s Hazardous Materials as Landlord shall reasonably request. On or before such surrender, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence that the approved Surrender Plan shall have been satisfactorily completed and Landlord shall have the right, subject to reimbursement at Tenant’s expense as set forth below, to cause Landlord’s environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional procedures, including without limitation intrusive subsurface testing of soil and/or ground water, as may reasonably be deemed necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the effective date of such surrender or early termination of the Lease, free from any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the actual out-of-pocket expense incurred by Landlord for Landlord’s environmental consultant to review the Surrender Plan and to visit the Premises and verify satisfactory completion of the same, which cost shall not exceed $5,000 (which amount shall be increased by the same percentage as the Index as of each Adjustment Date). Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to deliver such Surrender Plan and any report by Landlord’s environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the Premises to third parties on a need-to-know basis.
17

3.3.9 If Tenant shall fail to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials in, on or about the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to take such actions as Landlord may reasonably deem appropriate to assure that the Premises are surrendered free from any Tenant’s Hazardous Materials, the cost of which actions shall be reimbursed by Tenant as Additional Rent.
3.3.10 Tenant’s obligations under this Section 3.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. During any period of time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease required by Tenant or Landlord to complete the removal from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, the release and termination of any licenses or permits restricting the use of the Premises and the completion of the approved Surrender Plan), Tenant shall continue to pay the full Rent in accordance with this Lease for any portion of the Premises not relet by Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion, which Rent shall be prorated daily.
3.4 Alterations.
3.4.1 Consent. Tenant may make any alterations, improvements, additions or changes to the Premises, including, without limitation, the Tenant Improvements as defined in the Work Letter, (collectively “Alterations”) that meet all of the following criteria without first obtaining Landlord’s Consent: (a) the Alterations are cosmetic, (b) the Alterations are non-structural and do not affect the mechanical systems of the Building, (c) the Alterations cost less than $1,000,000.00 per project (which amount shall be increased by the same percentage as the Index as of each Adjustment Date); and (d) after the Alterations, the Premises will continue to be used for the Permitted Use (collectively, Alterations meeting the criteria of (a)-(d), “Minor Alterations”). Any Alterations that are not Minor Alterations shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any third-party expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the review, inspection, and coordination of Tenant’s plans for Alterations and Tenant’s performance thereof. Tenant hereby agrees to provide copies of all plans of such Alterations, regardless of whether Landlord’s consent is required. Tenant shall diligently and expeditiously complete any Alterations commenced. All Alterations shall become part of the realty constituting the Premises and shall belong to Landlord and shall not be removed by Tenant. If any Alteration is anticipated to cost more than $1,500,000, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to post a performance or payment bond in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for the benefit of Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all such work or service is being performed for the sole benefit of Tenant and not for the benefit of Landlord. Landlord shall, at the time it provides its approval for a proposed Alteration, advise Tenant whether the Alteration, or any portion thereof, is a Required Removable, as defined in Section 4.2.2. For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to the Tenant Improvements only, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 3.4 and the terms of the Work Letter, the terms of the Work Letter shall control.
18

3.4.2 Liens. With respect to any Alterations, Tenant hereby agrees as follows: (a) Tenant shall not cause or permit any construction, mechanics’ or other liens or encumbrances to be placed upon the Premises, or Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder, whether in connection with any work or service done or purportedly done by or for the benefit of Tenant, its subtenants, or any other party acting under or through Tenant, or otherwise, (b) Tenant shall cause all Alterations to be constructed free of all liens, in accordance with all Applicable Laws and shall, upon Landlord’s request, deliver lien waivers to Landlord in the form required by Applicable Law, (c) Tenant shall pay the costs of the Alterations and so that Landlord, the Premises will be protected against any loss from any mechanic’s, materialmen’s, or other liens, and (d) prior to the commencement of the construction of any Alterations, Tenant shall give to Landlord evidence of the insurance required by Section 6.2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant may contest any lien if (i) such lien is the subject of a bona fide dispute in which Tenant is contesting the amount or validity thereof, (ii) Tenant notifies Landlord of such dispute, and (iii) such lien is fully bonded by Tenant to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and any Mortgagee. Tenant shall give Landlord notice at least fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of any work in the Premises, other than any Alterations that are purely cosmetic.
3.4.3 Requirements. Prior to starting work on any Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with two (2) complete sets of professionally prepared working drawings (which shall include any architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical, computer system wiring, and telecommunication plans, which shall all be in CAD or other electronic format if requested by Landlord), and will be consistent with the construction methods and procedures manual attached hereto as Exhibit I, as amended from time to time for the Premises (the “Tenant Construction Manual”); names of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord; required permits and approvals; and evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s insurance in amounts reasonably required by Landlord and naming as additional insureds the Landlord, the managing agent for the Premises, and such other Additional Insured Parties (as defined in Section 13) as Landlord may designate for such purposes. All Cable shall be clearly marked with adhesive plastic labels (or plastic tags attached to such Cable with wire) to show the purpose of such Cable (i) every six (6) feet in locations behind walls, beneath floors, and above ceilings (specifically including, but not limited to, the electrical room risers), and (ii) at the termination point(s) of such Cable. “Cable” shall mean and refer to any electronic, fiber, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant or any party acting under or through Tenant. Any changes to the plans and specifications, other than di minimus changes that are purely cosmetic, do not affect the Building structure or mechanical systems, and do not cause the cost of the Alterations to exceed $1,000,000 (which amount shall be increased by the same percentage as the Index as of each Adjustment Date), must also be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Prior to commencing Alterations, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the contract for the Alterations and evidence satisfactory to Landlord as to the existence of all necessary permits (to the extent not previously provided). Alterations shall be (a) constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, (b) consistent with first class standards, (c) consist of materials of a quality reasonably approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall ensure that no Alteration impairs any Building system, (d) performed by contractors or mechanics whose labor union affiliations are not incompatible with those of any workers, contractors or subcontractors who may be employed, retained or engaged by the Landlord for the development and making of any alterations at the Premises, and who are otherwise reasonably approved by Landlord, (e) in accordance with the Tenant Construction Manual, if any, and (f) designed and performed in accordance with all applicable Laws. It shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Alteration that adversely affects a Building’s roof, structure, or systems, that is inconsistent with a first-class life science building, that results in an increase in gross floor area at the Premises or alteration of any Building footprint, that would violate any certificate of occupancy for the Building or any other permits or licenses relating to the Building, that would reduce the utility of the Premises for life sciences laboratory, research, and manufacturing purposes, or that is otherwise inconsistent with the requirements of this Section. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any third-party expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the review, inspection, and coordination of Tenant’s plans for Alterations and Tenant’s performance thereof. Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish “as-built” plans (in CAD or other electronic format, if requested by Landlord) for Alterations, customary American Institute of Architects completion affidavits, full and final waivers of lien, any applicable certificate of occupancy for the space affected by such Alterations and other applicable municipal or local sign-offs and inspection reports, and any other items reasonably required by Landlord for closing out the particular work in question. Landlord’s approval of an Alteration shall not be deemed to be a representation by Landlord that the Alteration complies with Law or will not adversely affect any Building system.
19

3.4.4 Construction Oversight Fee. With respect to any Alterations requiring Landlord’s consent under Section 3.4.1, Tenant shall pay Landlord a construction oversight fee (“Construction Oversight Fee”) equal to the sum of one percent (1%) of total hard and soft project costs, provided that Landlord’s obligations in connection with the Alterations are limited to oversight only and not direct management of the project. The Construction Oversight Fee shall be calculated based on hard and soft project costs for the Alterations that were approved by Landlord for the portion of work that has been performed and invoiced and shall be payable monthly in arrears concurrent with the approved hard and soft project costs for the Alterations during the applicable month.
3.4.5 Completion. Upon the completion of any Alterations, Tenant shall, to the extent applicable, promptly give to Landlord (a) a reproducible copy of the “as-built” drawings of such Alterations, (b) a certificate of completion executed on behalf of Tenant’s architect and/or engineering certifying completion of such Alterations in accordance with the respective plans and specifications, (c) a copy of the certificate of occupancy issued by the applicable governmental authorities with respect to such Alterations, and (d) copies of any warranties or guarantees with respect to such Alterations (and ensure that such warranties or guarantees are assignable to Landlord and/or run to both Landlord and Tenant’s benefit).
20

3.4.6 Ownership of Alterations. Any Alterations shall belong to Tenant until the Termination Date, at which time the Alterations (other than Tenant’s Trade Fixtures (as hereinafter defined)) shall belong to Landlord; provided, however, in no event shall the Alterations be removed by Tenant prior to the Termination Date, except as expressly provided herein. For purposes of this Lease, “Trade Fixtures” shall mean a piece of equipment placed on the Premises owned by Tenant and used in Tenant’s trade or business. For the avoidance of doubt, Trade Fixtures shall not include, without limitation, Building systems and machinery, built-in cabinet work and/or lab benches, purpose-built mezzanine space, all HVAC, air handling, electrical, mechanical and plumbing equipment and related ducts, shafts, and conduits, all exterior venting fume hoods, walk-in freezers and refrigerators, clean-rooms, climatized rooms, electrical panels and power back-up distribution systems. The parties agree that Landlord will be treated for all purposes, including tax purposes, as the owner of (and will be the party entitled to claim depreciation or other cost recovery deductions for federal tax purposes with respect to) any improvements, equipment, or personal property that were paid for, or reimbursed by, Landlord, including any allowance provided by Landlord, and Tenant will be treated for all purposes, including tax purposes, as the owner of (and will be the party entitled to claim depreciation or other cost recovery deductions for federal tax purposes with respect to) any improvements to the extent that the cost for such improvements were paid for by Tenant and to the extent any such costs exceed any allowance provided by Landlord. Unless required to adopt a contrary position as a result of an administrative or judicial proceeding, the parties shall take no action inconsistent with, the intentions set forth in this paragraph. The parties will provide each other with such cooperation as is reasonably necessary to implement the intentions of this paragraph.
3.5 Jeopardy of Insurance. Tenant shall neither do nor omit to do anything that might result in the actual or threatened reduction or cancellation of or material adverse change in insurance carried by Landlord or Tenant on the Premises. If any such insurance is actually, or threatened to be, cancelled, reduced or materially adversely changed by an insurer as a result of the use or occupancy of the Premises or any article kept in or about the Premises or any act or omission of Tenant or any person for whom Tenant is in law responsible or any occupant of the Premises, and if Tenant fails to remedy the condition or the use or occupancy giving rise to such actual or threatened cancellation, reduction or change within three (3) business days after notice thereof, Landlord may, without limiting its other remedies for the default, enter upon the Premises and remedy the condition, use or occupancy giving rise to such actual or threatened cancellation, reduction or change, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord its cost of doing so within ten (10) days following invoice, plus an administrative fee equal to ten percent (10%) of such cost. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to either the Premises or any property located on the Premises as a result of such entry.
21

3.6 Dogs. Tenant shall be permitted to bring a reasonable number of non-aggressive, fully domesticated, properly licensed, fully vaccinated, and well behaved dogs, kept by Tenant’s employees as pets, into the Premises, provided and upon condition that: (a) all dogs shall be strictly controlled at all times, (b) dogs shall not be permitted to foul, damage or otherwise mar any part of the Building or Premises; and (c) while entering and exiting the Premises, all dogs shall be kept on leashes. Landlord may limit the number, weight, and breed of dogs that may be permitted in the Premises, and Landlord may implement other rules and regulations not inconsistent with this Section 3.6 that Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems reasonable or prudent. Tenant shall be responsible for any damage and additional cleaning costs and all other costs which may arise from the dogs’ presence in the Building and on the Premises. Tenant shall be liable for, and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims arising from any and all acts (including but not limited to biting and causing bodily injury to, or damage to the property of, another lessee, sublessee, occupant, licensee, invitee, Landlord or an employee of Landlord) of, or the presence of, any dog in or about the Premises or the Building. Tenant shall promptly remove any dog waste and excrement from the Premises and Building. Dogs shall be strictly controlled and supervised at all times (including, without limitation, by being on leashes) by Tenant’s employees, with no less than one (1) such employee responsible for so controlling and supervising no more than two (2) dogs apiece. Within three (3) business days following Landlord’s request therefor, Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonably satisfactory evidence showing that all current vaccinations have been received by any dogs permitted on the Premises. No dog shall be brought to the Premises if such dog is ill or contracts a disease that could potentially threaten the health or wellbeing of any person on the Premises (which diseases may include, without limitation, rabies, leptospirosis and lyme disease). Tenant shall not permit any objectionable dog related noises or odors to emanate from the Premises (as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion), and in no event shall any dog be at the Premises overnight or for any extended period of time. Tenant shall install and maintain dog waste bag dispensers in outdoor areas of the Premises, and all waste generated by any dogs in or about the Premises shall be promptly removed and disposed of (on no less than a daily basis) in trash receptacles. Any areas of the Premises affected by such waste shall be immediately cleaned and otherwise sanitized. Landlord may require Tenant to permanently ban any dog from the Premises if (i) any such dog exhibits aggressive behavior, damages or destroys property in the Premises, violates specific provisions of this Section, defecates or urinates in any non-outdoor area of the Project, or defecates in any outdoor area of the Project and Tenant fails to remove such waste in accordance with the terms of this Section, and (ii) any such dog is found by Landlord in its sole but good faith discretion to be a substantial, repeated nuisance to the Premises, and, in any such event, such substantial, repeated nuisance persists after at least two (2) written notices to Tenant from Landlord in any twelve (12) month period), then Landlord may terminate Tenant’s rights under this Section. Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after demand, all costs incurred by Landlord that directly result from the presence of any of dogs in the Premises. Tenant’s right provided in this Section is personal only to the original named Tenant and/or any Permitted Transferee, shall not be exercisable by any other assignee, subtenant or other transferee of or successor to any portion of Tenant’s interest under the Lease or to the Premises.
3.7 LEED Standards. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that the Building has been designed to meet the standard for at least a “Gold” rating under the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) rating system. Tenant shall reasonably cooperate with Landlord to obtain and maintain LEED Gold certification for the Building, including, without limitation, cooperating with Landlord in its submission of all filings and applications for LEED Gold certification, at Tenant’s cost and expense. All Alterations, and any lighting installed by Tenant in the Premises, shall be designed, maintained, and installed in accordance with the requirements for at least LEED Gold, as the same may change from time to time. If necessary to ensure compliance with LEED Gold or such other standards, Tenant further agrees to engage a qualified third party LEED or Green Globe Accredited Professional or similarly qualified professional during the design phase of any Alterations, in order to review all plans, material procurement, demolition, construction and waste management procedures to ensure they are in full conformance with the requirements to maintain a LEED Gold or such other rating.
ARTICLE 4
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE; SERVICES
4.1 Tenant Repair and Maintenance Obligations. The parties intend for this Lease to be absolutely triple net. Tenant shall be responsible for all repairs, replacements and maintenance of the Premises. Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to repair or maintain the Premises. Tenant shall repair and maintain the Premises in substantially the condition as exists as of the Commencement Date of this Lease (and as it may be improved or altered thereafter, including, without limitation, pursuant to the Work Letter), keep same in good order, condition and repair, and in compliance with Applicable Laws, ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted, to the extent Tenant is not otherwise obligated to restore the same.
22

4.2 Condition of Premises on Surrender
4.2.1 Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.2, upon the Termination Date, all Alterations (other than Tenant’s Trade Fixtures) shall belong to Landlord without compensation, and title shall pass to Landlord under this Lease. On the Termination Date, Tenant shall give Landlord possession of the Premises, together with all such Alterations (other than Tenant’s Trade Fixtures) and the LCW by Tenant, in the good, broom clean condition, free of all debris, excepting only ordinary wear and tear and damage that Tenant is not required to repair or restore under this Lease. On or prior to the Termination Date, Tenant shall also (a) remove all of Tenant’s furniture, Trade Fixtures, furnishings, equipment belonging to the Tenant, and other personal property (collectively, the “Personalty”), and (b) repair any damage caused by the removal of such Personalty. All of Tenant’s Personalty not so removed by Tenant, may be removed from the Premises by Landlord and stored, at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, and in any event, Landlord shall not be responsible for the value, preservation, or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, all reasonable expenses so incurred by Landlord, including the cost of repairing any damage caused by removal and storing such Personalty (collectively, “Tenant’s Property”). Any such Tenant’s Property not claimed by Tenant within sixty (60) days after Tenant’s surrender of the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed either abandoned or conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant. On the Termination Date, Tenant shall assign to Landlord all manufacturers’ and contractors’ warranties with respect to the Premises and the Alterations (including all fixtures therein or thereon but excluding Tenant’s Trade Fixtures) and Tenant shall use commercially reasonable efforts obtain the consent of the issuers of such warranties (which may include, without limitation, the payment of an assignment fee), to the extent that such consent is required for the assignment to Landlord.
4.2.2 Landlord, at the time required by Section 3.4.1, by written notice to Tenant may require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations or other affixed installations that, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are of a nature that are not customary office or life science improvements and would require removal and repair costs that are materially in excess of the removal and repair costs associated with standard improvements for the Permitted Use (“Required Removables”). Required Removables shall include, without limitation, internal stairways, raised floors, vaults, rolling file systems, structural alterations and modifications (including any slab penetrations) other than de minimis alterations and modifications associated with connection of other improvements to the structure of the Building or relocation of demising walls provided that the same are otherwise consistent with first class life science buildings, Tenant’s signage, supplemental systems (including HVAC), vivariums, and any Cable installed by or on behalf of Tenant that is not necessary for the proper functioning of any Alterations remaining in the Premises in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any fixtures or improvements existing within the Premises on the Effective Date shall not be deemed Required Removables. The Required Removables shall be removed by Tenant before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in accordance with Section this Section 4.2, unless otherwise directed by Landlord. Landlord shall be treated as the owner of all Alterations (but, subject to Section 4.2.1, not any of Tenant’s Property, including any trade fixtures and equipment that are installed in a manner that will not damage the Premises when removed) during the term of the Lease, including for tax and depreciation purposes, but Tenant shall have the exclusive right to use the same subject to the terms of this Lease. In no event shall the LCW by Tenant be considered Required Removables.
23

4.3 Services and Utilities. Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish to the Premises any services or utilities (including, without limitation, janitorial services), and Tenant shall contract directly with the providers of all services and utilities Tenant desires to receive at the Premises, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall have the right to add alternative electricity sources such as additional solar panels, the installation of which shall be subject to Section 3.4. Landlord is not responsible for the furnishing of, or any interruption, diminishment or termination of, services or utilities, whether due to the application of Laws, the failure of any equipment, the performance of maintenance, repairs, improvements or alterations, or utility interruptions, and no such interruption, diminishment, or termination shall render Landlord liable to Tenant, give rise to an abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement. Except as expressly set forth in Article 9, below, Landlord shall in no event be required under any provision of this Lease or applicable Law to maintain or repair or to make any alterations, rebuildings, replacements, changes, additions or improvements on or off the Premises during the Term of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that it shall be responsible for providing and procuring all other services necessary to its operations in and on the Premises. If Tenant (or any party claiming by, through or under Tenant) pays directly to the provider for any energy consumed at the Building, Tenant, promptly upon request, shall deliver to Landlord (or, at Landlord’s option, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument enabling Landlord to obtain from such provider) any data about consumption that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, is required to disclose to a prospective buyer, tenant or mortgage lender under California Public Resources Code §25402.10 or any similar law. Further, Tenant hereby waives and releases its right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under Sections 1932(1), 1933(4), 1941 and 1942 of the California Civil Code or any similar or successor laws now or hereinafter in effect. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall provide Landlord information regarding Tenant’s energy usage at the Premises from time to time (provided that Landlord shall hold such information confidential to the extent Landlord is not required to disclose such information pursuant to Applicable Law, nothing in this sentence being deemed to prohibit Landlord from utilizing such information to make public statements about the sustainability profile or “green” nature of Landlord, or Landlord’s affiliates, properties).
24

5.1.1 Transfers Generally. Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, make a Transfer (as defined below), without Landlord’s consent, except as expressly set forth in this Article 5, and any purported Transfer that does not comply with the provisions of this Article 5 shall, at Landlord’s option, be deemed an Event of Default by Tenant and shall be voidable by Landlord.

Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay its consent to an assignment of this Lease or any sublet of the Premises, subject to the terms and conditions of this Article 5. Without limitation, it is agreed that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if the proposed Transferee (defined below) (a) is a governmental entity, (b) is incompatible with the character of occupancy of a first class life sciences building, (c) is an entity with which the payment for the sublease or assignment is determined in whole or in part based upon its net income or profits, (d) would subject the Premises to a use that would: (i) involve increased personnel or wear upon the Building in a manner inconsistent with first-class life science buildings; (ii) require any addition to or material modification of the Premises or the Building in order to comply with building code or other governmental requirements; or (iii) involve a violation of the Permitted Use clauses of this Lease, or (e) if there is any other reasonable ground not stated above for withholding consent.
(a) “Clients and Business Partners” means persons or entities who are not employees or agents of Tenant or its Affiliates but are occupying or using portions of the Premises and are either (i) performing services for Tenant as subcontractors under Tenant’s contracts, (ii) personnel employed by persons or entities for whom Tenant is performing services on a contractual basis, or (iii) personnel employed by persons or entities with whom Tenant is engaged in a joint venture or joint teaming effort.
(b) “Office Sharing” means the use of portions of the Premises by Clients and Business Partners, if, with respect to such Clients and Business Partners, such use is in connection with the services being provided to Tenant by the applicable Clients and Business Partners, the services being provided to the applicable Clients and Business Partners by Tenant, or the services being jointly provided by Tenant and the applicable Clients and Business Partners.
(c) “Transfer” means any assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, debenture (floating or otherwise), hypothecation, encumbrance, lien attaching to, collateral assignment, or other transfer of this Lease or the leasehold created hereby, or any sublet or other transfer of any portion of the Premises, or any Interest Transfer (as defined below), in any case whether voluntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise, or permitting the Premises to be used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant.
(d) “Transferee” means the party to which a Transfer is made.
(e) “Interest Transfer” means if Tenant is a corporation, trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity, (i) the transfer of a Controlling Interest or a majority of the voting stock, beneficial interest, partnership interests, membership interests or other ownership interests therein (whether at one time or in the aggregate) or (ii) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation, or pledge of more than 50% of Tenant’s net assets. A “Controlling Interest” means the effective control over the management of such entity.
25

5.1.2 Consent Requests. If Tenant desires to effect a Transfer and such Transfer requires Landlord’s consent, then Tenant shall give to Landlord Notice thereof at least thirty (30) days, but not more than sixty (60) days, prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which Notice shall include (a) the name and address of the proposed Transferee, (b) the relevant terms of the Transfer, (c) copies of financial reports and other relevant financial information for the proposed Transferee, (d) information regarding the nature of the business the proposed Transferee intends to operate in the Premises and how long the proposed Transferee has operated such business, (e) a fully executed copy of the proposed assignment, sublease, or other document to be used to effect the Transfer (the “Transfer Document”), and (f) payment to Landlord of One Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($1,000.00) as a transfer review fee. In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any third-party expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the review, inspection, and coordination of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, not to exceed $5,000 per request (which amount shall be increased by the same percentage as the Index as of each Adjustment Date). Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to a Transfer. If Landlord’s consent is required with respect to a Transfer, and Landlord fails to respond to Tenant’s request for consent within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s request and submission of the documents required by this Section 5.1.2, Tenant may send a second written request, which request shall contain, in bold, capital letters, the following: “THIS NOTICE CONSTITUTES TENANT’S SECOND NOTICE OF ITS REQUEST FOR CONSENT TO A TRANSFER PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.2 OF THE LEASE; LANDLORD’S FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS SHALL BE DEEMED LANDLORD’S CONSENT TO THE REQUESTED TRANSFER.” If Landlord fails to respond to such second notice within five (5) business days of receipt, Tenant’s request for the applicable Transfer shall be deemed approved. Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 1995.310 of the California Civil Code, or any similar or successor laws, now or hereinafter in effect, and all other remedies, including, without limitation, any right at law or in equity to terminate this Lease, on its own behalf and, to the extent permitted under all Applicable Laws, on behalf of the proposed transferee.
5.1.3 Permitted Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 5 to the contrary, Tenant may assign its interest in this Lease or sublease all or any part of the Premises (each a “Permitted Transfer”) to a Permitted Transferee (defined below) with notice to Landlord (delivered prior to the Transfer, or in the event Tenant is prohibited from doing so by Applicable Laws or contractual obligations, then as soon as reasonably practical) but without Landlord’s prior written consent; provided, that (i) with respect to a Permitted Transfer involving an assignment of this Lease, the Permitted Transferee assumes this Lease by a written assumption agreement delivered to Landlord prior to the effective date of such Permitted Transfer (unless such prior delivery is prohibited by Applicable Laws, in which event Tenant shall deliver such assumption agreement as soon as allowed), (ii) the Permitted Transferee shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Use, (iii) the use of the Premises by the Permitted Transferee shall not violate any other agreements or leases affecting the Property, (iv) the occurrence of a Permitted Transfer shall not waive Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfer, (v) the Permitted Transferee shall satisfy the Credit Requirement (defined below), and (vi) Tenant shall have given Landlord written notice at least thirty (30) day before such Transfer (unless such notice is prohibited by applicable Law, in which event Tenant shall give such notice within ten days following such Transfer). As used herein, (A) “Affiliate” means any person or entity who or which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant, (ii) a corporation or other entity which shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Tenant, (iii) the parent corporation or other entity that wholly owns Tenant, or (iv) a subsidiary of such parent corporation or other entity that wholly owns Tenant, or a corporation or other entity having a majority of its ownership in common with the ownership of Tenant, or (v) a Successor corporation, limited liability company or other entity; (B) “Successor” means any (i) business entity in which or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated in accordance with applicable statutory provisions governing merger and consolidation of business entities, so long as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are assumed by the Successor, or (ii) the successor or surviving corporation or other entity in the event of a merger or consolidation of the Tenant with another corporation, so long as Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are assumed by the Successor; (C) “Purchaser” means any person or entity who or which acquires all or substantially all of the assets or equity interests of Tenant; (D) “Permitted Transferee” means an Affiliate, Successor or Purchaser. The “Credit Requirement” shall be deemed satisfied if, as of the effective date of the Permitted Transfer, the resulting tenant under this Lease meets or exceeds all of following minimum criteria immediately following the Transfer: (i) cash on hand equal to at least Two Billion Dollars ($2,000,000,000) according to the Permitted Transferee’s most recent financial statement, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), (ii) outstanding debt of not more than sixty (60%) of the Permitted Transferee’s available cash on hand (as determined pursuant to the foregoing subsection (i) according to the Permitted Transferee’s most recent financial statement, determined in accordance with GAAP, and (iii) a market capitalization equal to at least Five Billion Three Hundred Million Dollars ($5,300,000,000).
26

5.2 Other Permitted Transfers.
5.2.1 Office Sharing. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 5 to the contrary, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent but upon at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to Landlord, permit up to ten percent (10%) of the total leasable area of the Premises to be used for Office Sharing by Clients and Business Partners, without the same constituting a Transfer. Tenant agrees to notify Landlord, promptly upon Landlord’s written request therefor, as to the approximate amount of Office Sharing by Clients and Business Partners and to certify to Landlord that such use or occupancy constitutes Office Sharing by Clients and Business Partners and does not constitute a sublease, assignment or other leasehold interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not have the right to engage in Office Sharing with respect to any particular Clients and Business Partners as aforesaid if such Clients and Business Partners are engaged in a business, or the Premises will be used in a manner, that is inconsistent with the Permitted Use. For purposes of this Lease, the acts or omissions of the employees or other personnel of Clients and Business Partners shall be deemed to be the acts or omissions (as applicable) of Tenant. Upon Landlord’s request, Clients and Business Partners who are Office Sharing shall provide to Landlord satisfactory evidence of insurance covering their activities within the Premises.
5.3 Non-Transfers. For so long as Tenant is a corporation whose ownership equity is available through the free trade of shares of stock on nationally recognized stock exchanges or over-the-counter (OTC) markets that are subject to the oversight of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (a “Public Company”), any transfer of Tenant’s equity interests (or those of its Affiliates) whatsoever shall not be deemed a Transfer under this Lease and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not require Landlord’s consent.
27

5.4 Conditions to Effectiveness. As conditions precedent to any Transfer becoming effective and binding on Landlord:
5.4.1 except as otherwise specified herein, prior to the proposed effective date of the Transfer, Tenant shall give to Landlord a copy of the fully executed Transfer Document, which shall (i) be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and (ii) for an assignment of this Lease, contain Transferee’s express assumption of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and waivers by Tenant, for the benefit of Landlord, of all applicable suretyship defenses (unless such prior delivery is prohibited by Applicable Laws, in which event Tenant shall deliver such documents as soon as allowed); and
5.4.2 as of the proposed effective date of the Transfer, there shall exist no Event of Default.
5.5 Miscellaneous.
5.5.1 Notwithstanding any Transfer, permitted or otherwise, including without limitation a Permitted Transfer, (a) Tenant shall not be released and shall at all times remain directly, primarily, and fully responsible and liable for the payment of Rent and for compliance with all of the other obligations to be performed by Tenant under the terms, provisions and covenants of this Lease, and (b) if any Transferee defaults under this Lease, then Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such Transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be automatically released from all liability under the Lease accruing from and after the date of a Transfer if the Transfer is a Permitted Transfer that is a merger or consolidation whereby the named Tenant herein is not the surviving entity; provided, however, as conditions of the foregoing release: (i) the surviving entity shall assume, either expressly or by operation of law, all of the obligations of the preceding entity for liabilities accruing before and after the Transfer, and (ii) the surviving entity must retain ownership of substantially all of the assets of the preceding entity.
5.5.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if all or any portion of the Premises is then subject to one or more subleases, then Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided in this Lease or at law or in equity, may collect directly from the subtenants under such subleases all rents due and becoming due to Tenant or a Transferee under such subleases and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease, and no such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
5.5.3 Except for any Permitted Transfer, if the proposed Transfer is an assignment or a sublease of more than seventy five percent (75%) of the Premises for a term longer than seventy five percent (75%) of the then remaining Term, then Landlord shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to terminate this Lease by sending Tenant written notice of such termination within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice requesting consent to the Transfer. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant may withdraw its notice requesting consent to the Transfer by providing written notice within five (5) business days after Landlord’s termination (with time being of the essence), in which case Landlord’s termination shall be negated, and the Lease shall continue pursuant to its terms. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, then Tenant shall tender the Premises to Landlord in the condition required by this Lease at the end of the Term, and this Lease shall terminate, on the proposed effective date of the requested Transfer, and Tenant shall have no further obligations under this Lease except for those accruing prior to the termination date and those that, pursuant to the terms of the Lease, survive the expiration or early termination of the Lease.
28

5.5.4 Except for a Permitted Transfer, in the event, if any, that (i) all rent and other consideration that Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer exceeds (ii) the Rent payable to Landlord for the portion of the Premises and Term covered by the Transfer (allocated on a per square foot basis), then Tenant shall, at Landlord’s election, pay to Landlord an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such excess, from time to time on a monthly basis upon Tenant’s receipt of such excess; provided that in determining any such excess, Tenant may deduct from the excess all reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant in connection with such Transfer, except that any construction costs incurred by Tenant in connection with such Transfer shall be deducted on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable Transfer. If Tenant is in Default, Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of Tenant’s share of payments received by Landlord.
5.5.5 Without limiting Landlord’s right to withhold its consent to any transfer by Tenant, and regardless of whether Landlord shall have consented to any such transfer, neither Tenant nor any other person having an interest in the possession, use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof shall enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession, assignment or other transfer or agreement for possession, use or occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises that provides for rent or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based, in whole or in part, on the net income or profits derived by any person or entity from the space so leased, used or occupied, and any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession, assignment or other transfer or agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use or occupancy of all or any part of the Premises..
5.5.6 This Section 5.5 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

ARTICLE 6
INDEMNIFICATION; RELEASE; INSURANCE
6.1 Indemnification and Release.
6.1.1 To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Tenant shall protect, indemnify, release, defend and hold Landlord (and the Landlord Parties) harmless from and against any and all Claims to the extent caused by or incurred by reason of: (a) any damage to any property (including the property of Landlord), or any injury (including death) to any person, occurring in, on, or about any portion of the Premises, except to the extent caused by or arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or the Landlord Parties; (b) any Alterations, work, or other thing done by Tenant or any Tenant Parties in or about any portion of the Premises, or from transactions of Tenant concerning any portion of the Premises; (c) Tenant’s failure to comply with any Applicable Laws; (d) any breach or default by Tenant of any representation, covenant or other term of this Lease; provided that Tenant shall not be obligated to so indemnify Landlord to the extent any such matter arises from, or is caused by, the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Landlord or the Landlord Parties; or (e) Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises. Tenant’s agreement to indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord and the Landlord Parties (the “Indemnitees”) harmless is conditioned upon the Indemnitees (i) providing written notice to Tenant of any claim, demand or action arising out of the indemnified activities within thirty (30) days after Landlord has actual knowledge of such claim, demand or action, provided that the failure to so notify Tenant will not relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure has actually materially prejudiced Tenant; (ii) permitting Tenant to assume full responsibility to investigate, prepare for and defend against any such claim or demand, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of any counsel used in the defense of such claim or demand; (iii) assisting Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, in the reasonable investigation of, preparation of and defense of any such claim or demand; and (iv) not settling such claim or demand that would result in a payment in excess of $100,000 (individually or in the aggregate) without Tenants’ prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. “Claims” mean claims, demands, losses, penalties, fines, liabilities, actions (including informal proceedings), settlements, judgments, damages, reasonable costs, and reasonable expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and consultants’ fees, court costs, and other litigation expenses) of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, the party in question.
6.1.2 Tenant hereby releases Landlord and the Landlord Parties from any and all liability for any loss or claim, including all economic losses and all consequential and indirect losses, as a result of loss, damage or injury to the property and persons of Tenant and its employees, as a result of any occurrence in, upon or at the Premises or the occupancy or use by the Tenant of the Premises, including damage to the Building or loss of access to the Premises, whether or not such loss or claim may have arisen out of the acts, omissions or negligence of Landlord, the Landlord Parties or those for whom Landlord or the Landlord Parties are in law responsible. Except with respect to Sections 1.3 and 3.3.4, Landlord hereby releases Tenant from any and all liability for consequential or special damages, including lost profits (which shall not limit the rights and remedies of Landlord expressly provided in this Lease).
6.2 Insurance.
6.2.1 Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall obtain and keep in force throughout the Term the following coverages in the following amounts: (a) commercial general liability insurance on an “occurrence” basis on the current ISO CG 00 01 occurrence form or its equivalent with a deductible reasonably acceptable to Landlord with a limit of not less than $5,000,000 per occurrence, (b) property damage insurance covering the core and shell of the Building and structural elements of other improvements situated upon the Premises on a replacement cost basis against loss or damage as provided by the standard fire and extended coverage policy, including, without limitation, earthquake and terrorism, and all other risks of direct physical loss as insured against under a special extended coverage endorsement in amounts and with a deductible determined by Landlord in its commercially reasonable discretion, (c) boiler and machinery insurance on a repair or replace basis, (d) business interruption insurance with respect to insurance required under (b) and (c) above with an indemnity period determined by Landlord, and (e) any such other insurance as Landlord’s lender may require. Tenant shall provide Landlord with such information from time to time as Landlord may reasonably require in connection with Landlord’s determination of the insurance required pursuant to clause (b), above.
30

6.2.2 Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall procure and maintain during the Lease Term, at its sole cost and expense, a policy or policies of insurance protecting Landlord and Tenant against each of the following:
(a) Commercial general liability insurance with respect to the operations of Tenant insuring against bodily injury or death and property damage in amounts (i) not less than $10,000,000 in the aggregate,(ii) not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence and (iii) not less than $10,000,000 of excess umbrella liability insurance. Such insurance shall contain separation of insured clauses and separation of insureds, with Landlord and any third party now or hereafter providing financing to Landlord where such third party has a security interest in the Premises under such financing shall be included as additional insureds. Tenant may satisfy the foregoing limits through any combination of primary and umbrella/excess policies, provided the combined total coverage is not less than $20,000,000 in the aggregate. The amount of such commercial general liability insurance shall be increased from time to time as Landlord may reasonably determine. All such bodily injury and property damage insurance shall insure Tenant’s exposure with respect to the indemnity agreement as to personal injury or property damage contained in Section 6.1 herein.
(b) Insurance covering Tenant’s construction, alterations, additions or improvements permitted herein (other than the core and shell of the Building and structural elements of other improvements, except for the LCW by Tenant, which shall be insured by Tenant), existing tenant improvements, trade fixtures and personal property, in an amount not less than 100% of their full replacement cost from time to time during the Lease Term, providing protection on an all risk basis, including, without limitation, coverage for earthquakes with coverage commencing on or prior to the commencement of Tenant’s construction, for the repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed.
(c) Pollution Legal Liability that provides first party coverage for clean-up costs and third party coverage for bodily injury and property damage resulting from pre-existing and future contamination conditions, of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per pollution event; such coverage shall specifically include this lease as an insured contract.
31

(d) The minimum limits of insurance required to be carried by Tenant shall not limit Tenant’s liability. 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 VIII as rated in the most current available “Best’s” Insurance Reports, and admitted to do business in the State of California. Such policies shall be issued in the name of Tenant, with Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, lenders, and any other party designated by Landlord (“Additional Insured Parties”) included as an additional insured. Tenant’s property insurance and any builder’s risk policy carried by Tenant or its contractors shall identify Landlord or, at Landlord’s direction, Landlord’s lender, as a loss payee. The full replacement cost of improvements under Tenant’s property insurance may be designated by Landlord in the good faith exercise of Landlord’s judgment. In the event that Tenant does not agree with Landlord’s designation, Tenant shall have the right to submit the matter to an insurance appraiser reasonably selected by Landlord and paid for by Tenant. The insurance appraiser shall submit a written report of his appraisal, and if said report discloses that the improvements are not insured as therein required, Tenant shall promptly obtain the insurance required. The policies provided by Tenant shall be for the mutual and joint benefit and protection of Landlord and Tenant, and certificates of insurance shall be delivered to the Landlord within ten (10) days after the Lease Commencement Date and, thereafter, within thirty (30) days after to the expiration of the term of each such policy. Upon Landlord’s request, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, in lieu of such certificates, copies of the policies of insurance required to be carried under Section 6.2.2 showing that the Additional Insured Parties are named as additional insureds (with respect to the applicable policies). 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 Landlord with thirty (30) days’ notice in writing in advance of any cancellation or lapse or the effective date of any reduction in the amounts of insurance (except in the event of non-payment of premium, in which case ten (10) days’ written notice shall be given). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the foregoing requirement that the insurance company provide prior notice to Landlord of cancellation or material change of the applicable policy cannot reasonably be obtained based on then-prevailing insurance industry practices, Tenant shall so advise Landlord of such unavailability and shall instead shall use reasonable efforts to cause its insurer to provide Landlord, and in any event Tenant shall provide Landlord with, notice of any such cancellation of any of Tenant’s insurance policies. All of Tenant’s commercial general 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. Tenant agrees that if, after the Commencement Date, Tenant does not take out and maintain the insurance required under this Section 6.2, Landlord may (but shall not be required to) procure, and thereafter maintain, said insurance on Tenant’s behalf, and any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, plus an administration fee of ten percent (10%) of the cost, shall promptly be paid by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant’s obligation to carry the insurance described in this Section 6.2.2 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 will be an additional insured thereunder as its 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. In the event of any Claims covered by Tenant’s insurance, Tenant shall, within 10 days following Landlord’s written request, provide Tenant with copies of the applicable insurance policies carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.
32

6.2.3 Release of Subrogation Rights. Tenant and Landlord each hereby releases the other from liability and waives all right to recover against the other for any loss from perils insured against under their property insurance policies, including any extended coverage and special form endorsements to said policies; provided, however, this Section 6.2.3 shall be inapplicable if it would have the effect, but only to the extent that it would have the effect of invalidating any insurance coverage of Landlord or Tenant. Tenant and Landlord’s property damage policies shall contain, if available, a waiver of subrogation clause.
6.2.4 Insurance for Alterations. During the performance of any Alterations by Tenant, (a) the insurance required under this Section 6.2 shall extend to all of Tenant’s consultants and contractors (and subcontractors of any tier) and shall include injuries to persons and damage to property arising in connection with such Alterations and (b) Tenant shall also maintain such other insurance as Landlord may reasonably require, including all-risk builder’s insurance, each of which policies shall name Landlord and Landlord’s lender as additional insureds and loss payees. Tenant shall give to Landlord copies of the policies of such insurance prior to commencing construction of such Alterations.
ARTICLE 7
THIRD PARTIES
7.1 Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance. This Lease shall be automatically subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any first priority mortgages or deeds of trust on, against, or affecting any portion of the Premises, or Landlord’s interest or estate in any portion of the Premises, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof (each, a “Mortgage”); provided that, as a condition precedent to such subordination, Tenant must receive a fully executed subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E hereto, or in such other commercially reasonable form as required by Landlord’s Mortgagee (as hereinafter defined) (a “SNDA”) from any current and future encumbrance holder (each, a “Mortgagee”) with such changes as reasonably requested by Tenant. Landlord shall request a SNDA from each present and any future Mortgagee seeking to subordinate this Lease to the lien of its Mortgage and deliver the same to Tenant. In the event Mortgagee enforces it rights under the Mortgage, Tenant, at Mortgagee’s option, will attorn to Mortgagee or its successor; provided, however, that, subject to the terms of any SNDA between Tenant and such Mortgagee (which shall govern in the event of any conflicts with the provisions of this Section 7.1), Mortgagee or its successor shall not be liable for or bound by (i) any payment of any Rent installment that may have been made more than thirty (30) days before the due date of such installment, (ii) any act or omission of or default by Landlord under this Lease (but Mortgagee, or such successor, shall be subject to the continuing obligations of landlord under the Lease arising from and after such succession, but only to the extent of Mortgagee’s, or such successor’s, interest in the Premises as provided in Article 12), (iii) any then-exercisable credits, claims, setoffs or defenses that Tenant may have against Landlord, or (iv) any obligation to provide tenant improvements allowances or perform tenant improvements to be provided by Landlord hereunder.
33

7.2 Mortgagee’s Right to Cure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, before exercising any right (a) of offset, counterclaim, reduction, deduction, or abatement against Tenant’s payment of Rent under this Lease or (b) to terminate the Lease or to claim a partial or total eviction, in each case arising from Landlord’s default under this Lease, (i) Tenant shall provide to each Mortgagee whose name and address has been furnished in writing to Tenant with written notice of the default by Landlord giving rise to same, and (ii) Mortgagee shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the last date on which Landlord could have cured such default within which such Mortgagee will be permitted, but not be obligated, to cure such default. If such default cannot be cured within such thirty-(30)-day period, then such Mortgagee shall have such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default, if prior to the end of such thirty-(30)-day period such Mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing such cure or the remedies under the Mortgage necessary for Mortgagee to be able to effect such cure, in which event Tenant shall have no right with respect to such default while such cure and remedies are being diligently pursued by such Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Mortgagee shall have no obligation to cure (and shall have no liability or obligation for not curing) any default by Landlord. In addition, as to any default by Landlord the cure of which requires possession and control of the Premises, provided that such Mortgagee undertakes by written notice to Tenant to exercise reasonable efforts to cure or cause to be cured by a receiver such default within the period permitted by this Section 7.2, such Mortgagee’s cure period shall continue for such additional time as such Mortgagee may reasonably require to either: (A) obtain possession and control of the Premises with due diligence and thereafter cure the default with reasonable diligence and continuity; or (B) obtain the appointment of a receiver and give such receiver a reasonable period of time in which to cure the default.
7.3 Sale of the Premises. Subject to the provisions of Article 11, if Landlord sells or conveys the Premises, such sale or conveyance shall release Landlord from any liability from and after such sale or conveyance upon any of the covenants or conditions, expressed or implied, contained in this Lease in favor of Tenant (to the extent such liability is expressly assumed by such transferee), and in such event, Tenant agrees to look solely to the successor-in-interest of Landlord in and to this Lease with respect to such liabilities that are incurred from and after such sale or conveyance. In the event Landlord enters into a purchase and sale agreement for the sale or conveyance of the Premises, in the event such purchaser is an entity engaged primarily in the business of research, development, manufacturing, sale, or marketing of a biopharmaceutical product (a “Pharma Competitor”), then the Pharma Competitor shall execute a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F; provided, however, that Tenant shall negotiate in good faith in the event the Pharma Competitor wishes to deviate from the form attached as Exhibit F. Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, this Lease shall not be affected by any such sale or conveyance and Tenant agrees to attorn to the purchaser or assignee. Landlord shall transfer or deliver the Security Deposit to Landlord’s successor-in-interest and thereupon Landlord shall be discharged from any further liability with regard thereto.
7.4 Estoppel Certificates. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord and any of Landlord’s then existing or prospective lenders, investors, or purchasers of any portion of the Premises, a certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C, or in such other commercially reasonable form and containing such other information as Landlord or any such lenders, investors, or purchasers, may reasonably require. Any certificate delivered in accordance with this Section 7.4 may be relied upon by any such lender, investor, or purchaser. Within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s request, Landlord shall execute and deliver to Tenant and any of Tenant’s then existing or prospective lenders, investors, or purchasers, a statement in writing certifying that Tenant is in possession of the Premises under the terms of this Lease, that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and setting forth such modifications), stating the dates to which rent has been paid, and either stating that no defaults exist hereunder, or specifying each such default of which Landlord may have knowledge, and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Tenant.
34

7.5 Liens. Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) business days of written notice of filing, discharge (either by payment or by filing of the necessary bond, insure over, or otherwise) any mechanic’s, materialman’s or other lien or encumbrance against any portion of the Premises that arises out of any payment due for, or purported to be due for, any labor, services, materials, supplies or equipment alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to so discharge such lien or encumbrance (either by payment or by filing of the necessary bond, insure over or otherwise) then, such failure shall be an Event of Default under this Lease and, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may discharge the same (either by payment or by filing of the necessary bond or otherwise), and any payment, costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be repaid together with interest thereon at the rate set forth in Section 2.3 from the date of payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant may contest any lien (and Landlord shall not discharge such lien at Tenant’s expense for so long as Tenant is diligently pursuing such contest) if (i) such lien is the subject of a bona fide dispute in which Tenant is contesting the amount or validity thereof, (ii) Tenant notifies Landlord in writing of such dispute, (iii) Tenant has or establishes unrestricted cash reserves to in an amount equal to 125% of (x) the amount of Tenant’s obligations being contested plus (y) any additional interest, charge or penalty arising from such contested lien and (iv) such lien is fully bonded by Tenant to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord and any Mortgagee.

Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies without any Notice or demand whatsoever (except as expressly provided herein), concurrently or consecutively and not alternatively (in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity), all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative:
(a) Termination. Landlord may terminate this Lease upon notice to Tenant, in which event Tenant shall vacate the Premises immediately and deliver possession of the Premises to Landlord in the condition which Tenant is required to surrender the Premises at the expiration of the Term (Tenant hereby waives, relinquishes and releases for itself and for all those claiming under Tenant any right of occupancy of the Premises following termination of this Lease, and any right to redeem or reinstate this Lease by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ under Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 473 and 1179, and California Civil Code Section 3275), and if Tenant fails to do so, then Landlord may, after due process of law, enter upon and take possession of the Premises, and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any portion thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor. Upon termination of the Lease as provided in this Section, Landlord may recover from Tenant the following: (i) the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus (ii) 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 Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iii) 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 Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; plus (v) at Landlord’s election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by Applicable Law. The term “rent” as used in this Section 8.2.1(a) shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others, including, without limitation, late charges and interest. As used in Sections 8.2.1(a)(i) and (ii), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.4 above, but in no case greater than the maximum amount of such interest permitted by Applicable Law. As used in Section 8.2.1(a)(iii), the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%). Landlord shall have no obligation to relet the Premises or any part thereof and shall in no event be liable for failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof, or, in the event of any such reletting, for refusal or failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. No such refusal or failure shall operate to relieve Tenant of any liability under this Lease. Tenant shall instead remain liable for all unpaid Rent and for all such expenses. This paragraph is expressly intended to afford Landlord the remedies provided for in California Civil Code § 1951.2. Possession. Landlord may re-enter the Premises without terminating this Lease by Notice to Tenant and sublet the whole or any part thereof for the account of Tenant upon as favorable terms and conditions as the market will allow; provided, however, that Tenant shall have not less than thirty (30) days following such re-entry to remove Tenant’s Personalty from the Premises. In the latter event (a) Landlord shall have the right to collect any Rent which may thereafter become due and payable under such sublease and to apply the same first, to the payment of any expenses incurred by Landlord in dispossessing Tenant and in subletting the Premises, and second, to the payment of the Rent herein reserved and to the fulfillment of Tenant’s other covenants hereunder, and (b) Tenant shall be liable for amounts equal to the Rent as the same would under the terms of this Lease become due, less any amounts actually received by Landlord and applied on account of Rent as aforesaid. Landlord shall have the remedy described in California Civil Code Section 1951.4 (lessor may continue lease in effect after lessee’s breach and abandonment and recover rent as it becomes due, if lessee has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease due to any Event of Default, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies under this Lease, including, without limitation, the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due.
37

(c) Subleases of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord may terminate any and all subleases or other consensual arrangements for possession or occupancy of the Premises entered into by Tenant or any subtenant of Tenant, or may succeed to Tenant’s or Tenant’s subtenant’s interest in such subleases or other arrangements. If Landlord elects to succeed to Tenant’s or Tenant’s subtenant’s interest in any such subleases or other arrangements, then as of the date of Notice by Landlord of such election (i) Tenant shall have no further right to, or interest in, the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder, and (ii) any sublessee or other occupant of the Premises shall attorn to and recognize Landlord as its landlord.
(d) Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants. If Tenant shall at any time fail to pay any Taxes or to take out, pay for, maintain or deliver any of the insurance provided for in this Lease, or shall fail to make any other payment or perform any obligation under this Lease, and such failure continues beyond applicable notice and cure periods (or without any notice and right to cure where required to protect life or property), then Landlord may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained, pay any such Tax, effect any such insurance coverage and pay premiums therefor, and make any other payment or perform any other act which Tenant is obligated to perform under this Lease, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord shall, in its sole discretion, deem necessary. In exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, shall be payable to Landlord on demand. If Landlord incurs any third-party expenses to cure a breach of any non-monetary obligation of Tenant, Tenant shall also pay an administrative charge equal to ten percent (10%) of the cost of the work performed by Landlord. Landlord shall have no obligation to perform on Tenant’s behalf and if Landlord does so, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage resulting from its actions.
38

(e) Other Remedies. In addition to the remedies set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall have all other remedies provided by law or statute to the same extent as if fully set forth herein word for word (including, without limitation, the right to enforce Tenant’s specific performance of each and every covenant, condition and other provisions of this Lease). No remedy herein conferred upon, or reserved to Landlord shall exclude any other remedy herein or by law provided, but each shall be cumulative.
8.2.2 Form of Payment Following Event of Default. Following the occurrence of a monetary Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to require that any or all subsequent amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, whether relating to the Event of Default in question or otherwise, be paid in the form of wire transfer or immediately available funds, or by other means approved by Landlord, notwithstanding any prior acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant in any different form.
8.2.3 Mitigation of Damages. Except as required by law, Landlord shall have no obligation to mitigate its damages. If Landlord is required by law to mitigate its damages under this Lease, then (a) Landlord shall be required only to use reasonable efforts to so mitigate, which shall not exceed such efforts as commercial landlords generally use to lease similar premises in the vicinity of the tri-city area (Oceanside, Carlsbad and Vista) of the State of California; (b) Landlord shall not be deemed to have failed to so mitigate if Landlord leases less than all of the Premises; and (c) Landlord’s failure to so mitigate shall only reduce the Rent to which Landlord is entitled. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord’s rejection of a prospective replacement tenant based on an offer of rentals below published rates for new leases of similar premises in the vicinity of the tri-city area (Oceanside, Carlsbad and Vista) of the State of California at the time in question, or containing terms less favorable than those contained herein, shall not give rise to a claim by Tenant that Landlord failed to so mitigate.
8.2.4 Waiver of Right of Redemption. Tenant (for itself and all others claiming through Tenant) irrevocably waives and releases any rights under any law now or hereafter existing to redeem or reinstate this Lease or Tenant’s right of occupancy of the Premises after termination of this Lease, including, without limitation, any and all rights conferred by Section 3275 of the Civil Code of California and by Sections 1174(c) and 1179 of the Code of Civil Procedure of California..
8.2.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. In the case of termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 8.2, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all expenses arising out of such termination, including without limitation, all costs incurred in collecting amounts due from Tenant under this Lease (including legal fees, costs of litigation and the like); all expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to relet the Premises or parts thereof (including advertisements, brokerage commissions, Tenant’s allowances, costs of preparing space, and the like); all of Landlord’s then unamortized costs of any work allowances provided to Tenant for the Premises; and all Landlord’s other reasonable expenditures necessitated by the termination. The reimbursement from Tenant shall be due and payable immediately from time to time upon notice from Landlord that an expense has been incurred, without regard to whether the expense was incurred before or after the termination.
39

8.2.6 Claims in Bankruptcy. Nothing herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain in a proceeding for bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement or reorganization, by reason of the termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by a statute or Applicable Law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount is greater to, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damage that Landlord has suffered.
8.3 Landlord Default. If Landlord shall fail to perform any material obligation under this Lease required to be performed by Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder nor subject to claims for damages of any kind, unless such failure shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Tenant or, if such failure is curable but cannot reasonably be cured during such 30-day period, such additional time as it would reasonably take to cure. If Landlord shall fail to cure within the time permitted for cure herein, Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for those actual damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s default and Tenant shall also have the right to pursue injunctive relief against Landlord, to the extent available under Applicable Laws. Except as may be expressly provided in this Lease, in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate the Lease nor shall Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent or other charges under this Lease abate based upon any default by Landlord of its obligations under the Lease. In no event shall Landlord or any Landlord Related Party ever be liable to Tenant for loss of profits, loss of business, or indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever cause.
8.4 Non-Waiver. The failure of Landlord to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements contained herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that Landlord may have, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in the performance of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements contained herein. The performance of each and every term, covenant, condition and agreement to be performed by Landlord pursuant to this Lease shall not be a condition precedent to Landlord’s right to collect Rent or to enforce this Lease. Further, pursuant to the requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1161.1(c), Tenant is hereby placed on actual notice that Landlord’s acceptance of Rent shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of (a) any preceding breach by Tenant of any provision of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted; or (b) any of Landlord’s rights, including, without limitation, any rights Landlord may have to recover possession of the Premises or to sue for any remaining Rent owed by Tenant.

ARTICLE 9
CASUALTY & CONDEMNATION
9.1 Casualty.
9.1.1 Generally. Subject to Section 9.1.2 below, if the Premises are damaged by fire, the elements or other casualty (collectively a “Casualty”), Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the same. Except as expressly set forth below, this Lease shall not terminate in the event of damage to the Premises by other casualty, nor any other obligation of Tenant hereunder be abated or affected in any way. If all or any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable or inaccessible by a Casualty, Landlord shall cause a general contractor selected by Landlord to provide Landlord and Tenant with a written estimate of the amount of time required, using standard working methods, to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the affected portion of the Premises (“Completion Estimate”). Landlord shall promptly forward a copy of the Completion Estimate to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any Law relating to the matters addressed in this Section, and agree that their respective rights for damage to or destruction of the Premises shall be those specifically provided in this Lease, which shall constitute an express agreement between the parties with respect thereto, and Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that any Applicable Law, including Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) of the California Civil Code, with respect to any rights or obligations concerning damage or destruction of leased or hired property, shall have no application to this Lease or to any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises.
9.1.2 Termination. Notwithstanding Section 9.1.1, if the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises cannot be made tenantable within twenty-four (24) months from the date the repair is started, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Completion Estimate, which notice, if sent by Tenant, shall be accompanied by a sum equal to all Rent due from Tenant to Landlord to the date of termination. Tenant, however, shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the Casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties. If (i) the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises can be made tenantable within thirty-six (36) months from the date the repair is started, and (ii) Tenant terminates this Lease pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 9.1.2., then, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s termination notice, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, negate Tenant’s termination by providing notice to Tenant that Landlord agrees to an abatement of Base Rent beginning immediately following the twenty-fourth (24th) month after the date the repair is started and ending on the date when Landlord has substantially completed the repair and restoration of the affected portion of the Premises. In addition, if the Premises are damaged by fire, the elements or other casualty during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, and the Completion Estimate shows that the restoration cannot be completed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Casualty, then either party shall have the right, in lieu of Tenant fulfilling its obligations under Section 9.1.1 above, to terminate this Lease as of the date of the Casualty by notice to the other party within ten (10) business days after the delivery of the Completion Estimate, which notice, if sent by Tenant, shall be accompanied by a sum equal to all Rent due from Tenant to Landlord to the date of termination. If Tenant elects to terminate the Lease pursuant to this Section 9.1.2, Tenant shall (1) assign to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to any property insurance proceeds received in connection with such casualty for the Tenant Improvements and LCW by Tenant (each as defined below) and (2) pay to Landlord an amount equal to Tenant’s deductible under any insurance and/or any applicable self-insured retention amount covering the Tenant Improvements and LCW by Tenant. In addition, Landlord, by notice to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of the Casualty, shall have the right to terminate this Lease if (1) any Mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; or (2) a material uninsured loss to the Building or Premises occurs, and, in either case, Tenant does not provide Landlord with sufficient funds (or evidence of the same satisfactory to Landlord) to complete such restoration within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s termination notice.
41

9.1.3 Restoration. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, restore the core and shell of the Building and structural elements of other improvements situated upon the Premises, subject to the following provisions. Such restoration shall be to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Applicable Law or any other modifications deemed desirable by Landlord (“Landlord’s Restoration”). Landlord shall be paid a construction management fee equal to three percent (3%) of the hard and soft costs of construction in connection with Landlord’s Restoration. In no event shall Landlord be required to spend more for the Landlord’s Restoration than the proceeds received by Landlord, whether from Landlord’s insurance proceeds or proceeds from Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the Casualty or the repair thereof. Landlord shall not be responsible for restoration of any portion of the non-structural tenant improvements, any improvements or fixtures installed for Tenant’s specific business operations, the TI by Landlord (as defined in Exhibit B), the LCW by Tenant (as defined in Exhibit B), or any Alterations (collectively, the “Tenant Improvements”). If this Lease is not terminated, upon the substantial completion of Landlord’s Restoration, Tenant shall diligently and promptly repair all such damage and restore the Tenant’s Improvements (the “Tenant’s Restoration”) to substantially the same quality, use and usability to the Building and related improvements that existed immediately prior to the Casualty.
9.1.4 No abatement of Rent. If the Premises are damaged or destroyed by casualty, then the Rent shall not be abated and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the Premises, damage to Tenant’s Personalty or to any Alterations, or any inconvenience occasioned by any damage, repair, or restoration.
9.1.5 Insurance Proceeds. Tenant shall be entitled to any and all of the insurance proceeds payable for the damage to the Tenant Improvements and LCW by Tenant, provided, however, that if Tenant elects to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 9.1.2, then Tenant shall assign and pay over to Landlord all insurance proceeds received by or payable to Tenant with respect to damage to the core and shell of the Building and structural elements of other improvements situated upon the Premises, including the LCW by Tenant (but not Tenant Improvements and Tenant’s Personalty). Whether or not Tenant so elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant shall be entitled to any and all of the insurance proceeds payable for the damage to Tenant’s Personalty.
9.2 Waiver. Tenant (for itself and all others claiming through Tenant) irrevocably waives and releases its rights to make repairs at Landlord’s expense. The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 9.2, constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any damage to, or destruction of, any portion of the Premises. Any law in respect of any rights or obligations concerning any such damage or destruction in the absence of an express agreement between the parties, and any other law relating to damage or destruction of leased premises, whether in effect on the date of this Lease or thereafter, shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction of any part of the Premises.
42

9.3 Total Condemnation. If after the execution of this Lease and prior to the expiration of the Term, all or a significant portion of the Premises shall be permanently taken under power of eminent domain by any public or private authority, or conveyed by Landlord to said authority in lieu of such taking (collectively, a “Taking”), and if as a result of such Taking: (a) access to the Premises to and from the publicly dedicated roads adjacent to the Premises as of the Effective Date is permanently and materially impaired such that Tenant no longer has access to such dedicated road; (b) there is insufficient parking to operate the Premises under Applicable Laws and replacement parking cannot be constructed or provided elsewhere on the Premises; or (c) the taking includes a portion of the Building such that the remaining portions are unsuitable for the Permitted Use and the remaining portions of the Premises cannot, in the reasonable opinion of a contractor mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, be restored to useful condition within eighteen (18) months after the Taking (such event, a “Total Condemnation”), then, in such event:
9.3.1 Termination. On the date of the Total Condemnation, this Lease shall automatically terminate; provided, however, that Tenant’s obligations under any indemnification provisions of this Lease and Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent and all other monetary obligations (whether payable to Landlord or a third party) accruing under this Lease prior to the date of termination shall survive such termination. If the date of such Total Condemnation is other than the first day of a month, the Base Rent for the month in which such Total Condemnation occurs shall be apportioned based on the date of the Total Condemnation
9.3.2 Award . Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award payable in connection with a Total Condemnation without deduction for any estate vested in Tenant by this Lease, and Tenant hereby expressly assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in and to every such award and agrees that Tenant shall not be entitled to any such award or other payment for the value of Tenant’s leasehold interest in this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s
Personalty, loss of goodwill, and for moving and relocation expenses (but only if such payment to Tenant does not reduce any award available to Landlord).
9.4 Partial Condemnation. In the event of a Taking which is not a Total Condemnation, neither party shall have the right to terminate this Lease and Landlord shall, using proceeds therefor from the condemning authority, restore the core and shell of the Building and structural elements of other improvements situated upon the Premises reasonably sufficient to make a functional unit of the remaining portion of the Premises, and Tenant shall proceed with restoration of the Tenant Improvements and LCW by Tenant to the extent possible to make a functional unit of the remaining portion of the Premises. In the event any partial taking materially affects Tenant’s operations in the Building for the Permitted Use, such that the Premises no longer provides sufficient space for Tenant to carry out its business without material interference with the Permitted Use, then, commencing on the date on which Tenant’s operations are materially affected, the Base Rent shall be abated in proportion to the square footage of the portion of the Building taken.
ARTICLE 10
MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Notices. Any notice, consent, demand, or other communication or document required or permitted to be given under this Lease or pursuant to any law (“Notice(s)”), shall be (a) in writing (except as otherwise provided in this Lease), (b) addressed to the intended recipient at its address set forth in the Basic Lease Information (provided that each of Landlord and Tenant may change its addresses for the giving of notices by giving written notice thereof to the other party), (c) sent by fully prepaid registered or certified United States Mail return receipt requested, or by any nationally recognized overnight courier service furnishing a written record of attempted or actual delivery, and (d) deemed to have been delivered upon actually delivery or rejection of delivery.

Each party shall indemnify the other and hold it harmless from any cost, expense, or liability (including costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees) for any compensation, commission or fees claimed by any other real estate broker or agent in connection with this Lease or its negotiation by reason of any act or statement of the indemnifying party.
10.4 No Waivers. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed waived by either party unless expressly waived in a writing signed by the waiving party (and then only to the extent so expressly waived). No waiver shall be implied by delay or any other act or omission of either party. No waiver by either party of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of such provision with respect to any subsequent matter relating to such provision, and Landlord’s consent or approval respecting any action by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for obtaining Landlord’s consent or approval respecting any subsequent action. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Term shall be deemed a termination of this Lease, an acceleration of the Termination Date, or an acceptance of the surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to terminate this Lease, accelerate the Termination Date, or accept a surrender of the Premises shall be valid, unless expressly provided in a writing signed by Landlord. Acceptance of the full or any partial payment of Rent shall not be deemed Landlord’s waiver of any breach by Tenant of any provision of this Lease and Landlord’s acceptance of a lesser amount than the Rent due under this Lease shall not be deemed Landlord’s waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount of Rent due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such partial payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount of Rent due. Tenant acknowledges that this Section 10.4 imparts actual notice to Tenant that Landlord’s acceptance of partial payment of Rent does not constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights, including any right Landlord may have to recover possession of the Premises. Forbearance by Landlord in enforcing one or more of the remedies provided in this Lease upon an Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver of such Event of Default or of Landlord’s right to enforce any such remedies with respect to such Event of Default or any subsequent Event of Default. Landlord’s acceptance of any Rent or of the performance of any other provision of this Lease from any person other than Tenant, including any Transferee, shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to approve any Transfer in accordance with Article 5.
10.5 Future Development. Provided the Tenant is Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or an affiliate, and Tenant is operating for the Permitted Use, in no event shall Landlord take any action or permit any actions to be taken that may or will increase or decrease, modify, change or alter the zoning or entitlements of the Premises, alter the Building, change the site amenities, or add additional improvements without the express written consent of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the terms of this Section 10.5, Landlord reserves all rights as may be necessary or desirable to construct additional improvements serving the Premises, the Companion Premises, or both, in connection with the construction of the improvements under the Companion Lease, including, without limitation, pedestrian walkways, installation of utilities and utility connections, structured parking, a pedestrian bridge, and site improvements at the Premises, and to modify the Building in connection with any such additional development, all as required by the Companion Lease and consistent with the plans and specifications for the construction of the Companion Premises (“Future Development”). In connection with any such Future Development, facilities at the Premises may be eliminated, altered, or relocated and may also be utilized to serve the Companion Premises. The rights set forth above shall include rights to use portions of the Premises for the purpose of temporary construction staging and related activities and to implement valet parking for reserved and unreserved parking spaces for the purpose of facilitating construction during such activities.
45

10.5.1 Landlord and its representatives, contractors, agents, employees and licensees shall have the right during any construction period to enter the Premises to undertake such work; to shore up the foundations, walls, and other improvements at the Premises; to erect scaffolding and protective barricades around the Premises; and to do any other act necessary for the safety of the improvements at the Premises or the expeditious completion of such construction. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business and to minimize the extent and duration of any inconvenience, annoyance or disturbance to Tenant resulting from any work pursuant to this Section in or about the Premises, consistent with accepted construction practice, and so long as Landlord uses such reasonable efforts Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of Rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business resulting from any act by Landlord pursuant to this Section.
10.5.2 Tenant agrees to enter into any instruments reasonably requested by Landlord in connection with the Future Improvements, and for the continued maintenance of such Future Improvements, so long as the same do not materially decrease the rights or materially and adversely increase the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, including reciprocal easement agreements, declarations of covenants, and other agreements to facilitate use of the improvements between the Premises and Companion Premises. Tenant agrees not to take any action to oppose any application by Landlord for any permits, consents or approvals from any governmental authorities for any redevelopment or additional development of all or any part of the Companion Premises, and will use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent any of Tenant’s subtenants or assigns, and Tenant’s and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors and consultants from doing so. For purposes hereof, action to oppose any such application shall include, without limitation, communications with any governmental authorities requesting that any such application be limited or altered. Also for purposes hereof, commercially reasonable efforts shall include, without limitation, commercially reasonable efforts, upon receiving notice of any such action to oppose any application on the part of any Tenant Parties, to obtain injunctive relief, and, in the case of a subtenant, exercising remedies against the subtenant under its sublease.
10.6 Other Provisions.
10.6.1 Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants that Tenant, while no Event of Default has occurred and be continuing, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold, and enjoy the Premises for the Term without hindrance from Landlord, but not otherwise, subject to all matters of record and to the terms and provisions of this Lease.
10.6.2 Survival. All obligations of Tenant under this Lease not fully performed as of the Termination Date shall survive the Termination Date.
46

10.6.3 Entire Agreement. This Lease, together with the Exhibits, contains all of the agreements of Landlord and Tenant in respect of this Lease and supersedes any previous negotiations. There have been no representations made by Landlord or any of Landlord’s representatives, or understandings made between Landlord and Tenant, other than those set forth in this Lease and the Exhibits. This Lease may not be modified except by a written instrument duly executed by the party to be bound.

10.6.4 Execution in Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10.6.5 Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease, but may record a short form memorandum of this Lease in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D.

Tenant shall not (and Tenant shall not permit any person claiming through or under Tenant to) discriminate against or segregate any person or group of persons on account of race, color, creed, sex, religion, marital status, ancestry, or national origin, whether in the use, occupancy, subleasing, transferring, or enjoyment of the Premises, or otherwise.

10.6.10 REIT Provisions. Tenant and Landlord intend that all amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord shall qualify as “rents from real property,” and will otherwise not constitute “unrelated business taxable income” or “impermissible tenant services income,” all within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the U.S. Department of Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”). In the event that Landlord determines that there is any risk that any amount payable under this Lease may not qualify as “rents from real property” or will otherwise constitute impermissible tenant services income within the meaning of Section 856(d) of the Code and the Regulations, Tenant agrees to (a) cooperate with Landlord by entering into such amendment or amendments as Landlord deems necessary to qualify all amounts payable under this Lease as “rents from real property” and (b) permit (and, upon request, to acknowledge in writing) an assignment of the obligation to provide certain services under the Lease, and, upon request, to enter into direct agreements with the parties furnishing such services (which shall include but not be limited to a taxable REIT subsidiary of Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence (including acknowledging in writing an assignment of services pursuant thereto) if such action would result in (A) Tenant’s incurring more than de minimis additional liability under this Lease or (B) more than a de minimis negative change in the quality or level of Building operations or services rendered to Tenant under this Lease. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if Tenant does not acknowledge in writing an assignment as described in clause (b) above (it being agreed that Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such acknowledgment so long as the criteria in clauses (A) and (B), above, are satisfied), then Landlord shall not be released from liability under this Lease with respect to the services so assigned; and (ii) nothing in this Section 10.6.10 shall limit or otherwise affect Landlord’s ability to assign its entire interest in this Lease to any party as part of a conveyance of Landlord’s ownership interest in the Building.

10.7.1 Captions. The captions in this Lease are for convenience of reference and shall not define, increase, limit, or describe the scope or intent of any provision of this Lease.

10.7.3 Non-Exclusivity. Whenever the words “including”, “include”, or “includes” are used in this Lease, they shall be interpreted in a non-exclusive manner as though the words “without limitation” immediately followed the same. Any reference to “any part” or “any portion of” the Premises or any other property shall be construed to refer to all or any part of the same.
10.7.4 Covenants Independent. This Lease shall be construed as though the covenants herein between Landlord and Tenant are independent.
10.7.5 Joint and Several Liability. In any case where either Landlord or Tenant consists of more than one person, the obligations of such party under this Lease shall be joint and several.
48

10.7.6 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease and all of its provisions.
10.7.7 Governing Law. This Lease shall in all respects be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof or of any other jurisdiction that would result in the application of the Applicable Laws of any other jurisdiction. Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall not be discharged or otherwise affected by any Applicable Law or regulation now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, or any other restriction on Tenant’s use, or (except as expressly provided in this Lease) any Casualty or Taking, or any failure by Landlord to perform any covenant contained herein, or any other occurrence; and no termination or abatement remedy that is not expressly provided for in this Lease for any breach or failure by Landlord to perform any obligation under this Lease shall be implied or applicable as a matter of Applicable Law.

10.7.9 Submission.

10.8 Tenant’s Signage. Tenant shall have the right to install such signage at or upon the Premises as permitted by Applicable Laws. Tenant, at its sole expense, shall maintain Tenant’s Signage in good condition and repair during the Term. Should Tenant’s Signage require maintenance or repairs as determined in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Landlord shall have the right to provide notice thereof to Tenant and Tenant shall cause such repairs and/or maintenance to be performed within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Should Tenant fail to perform such maintenance and repairs within the period described in the immediately preceding sentence, then, in addition to all of Landlord’s other rights and remedies, Landlord may, but need not, perform the required maintenance and repairs, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost thereof, plus a fee for Landlord’s oversight and coordination of such work equal to five percent (5%) of its cost, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s request for payment, together with reasonable, supporting backup documentation. Landlord shall have the right to maintain one or more signs at the Premises in a prominent location near the entrance to the Building identifying the property manager and the identity of Landlord or its direct or indirect ownership group in a manner similar to that shown on Exhibit G attached, subject to Tenant’s approval of the size and location of such signage, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
10.9 Choice of Law. This Lease shall be governed by the Applicable Laws of the State of California.

10.10 CASp Inspection. For purposes of Section 1938(a) of the California Civil Code, Landlord hereby discloses to Tenant, and Tenant hereby acknowledges, that neither the Building nor any portion of the Premises has undergone inspection by a Certified Access Specialist (CASp) (defined by California Civil Code Section 55.52). Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1938, Tenant is hereby notified as follows: “A Certified Access Specialist (CASp) can inspect the subject premises and determine whether the subject premises comply with all of the applicable construction-related accessibility standards under state law. Although state law does not require a CASp inspection of the subject premises, the commercial property owner or lessor may not prohibit the lessee or tenant from obtaining a CASp inspection of the subject premises for the occupancy of the lessee or tenant, if requested by lessee or tenant. The parties shall mutually agree on the arrangements for the time and manner of any CASp inspection, the payment of the fee for the CASp inspection and the cost of making any repairs necessary to correct violations of construction-related accessibility standards within the premises.” If Tenant requests to perform a CASp inspection of the Premises, Tenant shall, at its cost, retain a CASp approved by Landlord to perform the inspection of the Premises at a time agreed upon by the parties. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any report or certificate issued by the CASp (the “CASp Report”). Landlord and Tenant agree that any modifications necessary to correct violations of construction related accessibility standards identified in the CASp Report shall be the responsibility of Tenant. Tenant agrees to keep the information in the CASp Report confidential except as necessary for the Tenant to complete such modifications.
10.11 Landlord Access. Landlord, its affiliates, and their respective contractors and agents, subject to the terms of this Section 10.11, may, (a) at any and all reasonable times during normal business hours (or during non-business hours, if Landlord so requests and Tenant consents), and upon at least two (2) business days’ prior notice (which may be oral or by email to the office manager or other Tenant-designated individual at the Premises; but provided that no time restrictions shall apply or advance notice be required if a bona fide emergency with an immediate threat to property damage or personal injury necessitates immediate entry and any oral notice will be followed immediately by email notice as provided above prior to entry), enter the Premises to (i) inspect the same and to determine whether Tenant is in compliance with its obligations hereunder, (ii) supply any service Landlord is required to provide hereunder, (iii) alter, improve or repair any portion of the premises under the Companion Lease for which access to or through the Premises is reasonably necessary, (iv) post notices of non-responsibility, (v) show the Premises to current and prospective investors, lenders and purchasers, and (vi) show the Premises, other than the Secure Access Areas, during the final eighteen (18) months of the Term (provided that Tenant has not timely exercised an Extension Option to extend the Term pursuant to Section 1.4) to prospective tenants, and (b) notwithstanding the foregoing, at any and all reasonable times during business and non-business hours and upon at least two (2) business days’ prior notice enter the Premises for the purposes of performing any repairs or maintenance that Landlord is obligated or entitled to perform pursuant to this Lease (provided that no time restrictions shall apply if a bona fide emergency with an immediate threat to property damage or personal injury necessitates immediate entry); provided, however, that Landlord shall comply with Tenant’s reasonable safety procedures and protocols with respect to the Premises, and with respect to portions of the Premises (if any) that are reasonably designated in writing by Tenant to Landlord as controlled or having restricted access (the “Secure Access Areas”), shall comply with Tenant’s reasonable additional security and safety procedures and protocols related to such portions of the Premises including only entering such designated Secure Access Areas when accompanied by a Tenant representative (provided further, that Tenant shall provide a Tenant representative to accompany Landlord upon written request from Landlord at least two (2) business days’ in advance). In no event shall Tenant’s Base Rent abate as a result of Landlord’s activities pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that all such activities shall be conducted in such a manner so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as is reasonably possible. Landlord shall at all times retain keys, key cards and access codes with which to unlock all of the doors in the Premises. Landlord acknowledges that the standard operating procedures set forth on Exhibit J shall apply to the issuance to Landlord of any key cards, electronic keypad codes, or door keys to any Secure Access Areas for any unaccompanied access too the Premises by Landlord, provided, however, that Tenant shall identify a single designee to act as Landlord’s point of contact to administer the requirements of Tenant’s standard operating procedures on behalf of Landlord and that in no event shall any such requirements prohibit Landlord’s entry into Secure Access Areas (i) in the event of a bona fide emergency with an immediate threat to property damage or personal injury that necessitates immediate entry or (ii) when accompanied by a representative of Tenant. If an emergency necessitates immediate access to the Premises, Landlord may use whatever force is necessary to enter the Premises, and any such entry to the Premises shall not constitute a forcible or unlawful entry to the Premises, a detainer of the Premises, an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof, or a violation of the provisions of this Section 10.11. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Tenant notifies Landlord within one (1) business day (which may be oral or by email to the Landlord-designated individual) following Landlord’s request for access that the proposed day and/or time for entry will cause a disruption to a planned event, meeting or other programming for Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with one another to identify a better date and/or time Landlord’s entry of the Premises.

11.1 Right of First Offer.
11.1.1 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, provided that (i) no Event of Default by Tenant has occurred under this Lease, and (ii) the Tenant is Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or its affiliate, if Landlord intends to offer the Premises (or any portion thereof) for sale to an unaffiliated third party, Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of the same in writing (the “Offer Notice”) and indicate the terms and conditions upon which Landlord is willing to accept for the sale of the Premises to a third party. Tenant may elect to purchase the Premises (or portion thereof) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice by notifying Landlord in writing (the “Election Notice”) of its election no later than fifteen (15) days after the Offer Notice, which notice shall be accompanied by the Option Deposit (defined herein), and the sale of the Premises shall be consummated pursuant to the terms hereof on a date (the “Closing Date”) within sixty (60) days after the Election Notice, such date to be mutually agreed upon by Landlord or Tenant. In the event of any of the following: (x) Tenant fails to deliver the Election Notice or the Option Deposit to Landlord on or before the expiration of the 15-day period set forth above, (y) Tenant fails to close on its acquisition of the Premises on or before the Closing Date, or (z) Landlord provides an Offer Notice to Tenant and Tenant does not exercise its right to purchase the Premises, then in each case Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to purchase the Premises and thereafter Tenant’s rights under this Article 11 shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. The term “Option Deposit” shall mean the amount of cash deposit required in the Offer Notice or, if no cash deposit is specified in the Offer Notice, a sum equal to five percent (5%) of the purchase price for the Premises set forth in the Offer Notice.
51

11.1.2 If the Premises is not sold to Tenant pursuant to Section 11.1.1 above, Landlord shall have the right to direct the marketing of the Premises (including the unilateral right to select any broker to be utilized), and to take all actions in furtherance thereof, including, without limitation, the right and authority to execute, such agreements, documents, instruments and applications, including a purchase and sale agreement and a deed, assignment of leases, bills of sale and other conveyance documents conveying the Premises (collectively, “Sale Documents”) as Landlord, may reasonably deem necessary or desirable in order consummate such sale, and, subject to Section 11.1.1 above and Section 11.2 below, Landlord shall be authorized to accept an offer for the sale of the Premises. If Landlord modifies the terms of its offer such that the purchase price is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the consideration provided in the Offer Notice, then the proposed transaction shall again be subject to Tenant’s rights under this Article 11, and Landlord shall deliver an amended Offer Notice to Tenant.
11.1.3 Tenant shall, at no material out-of-pocket cost to Tenant, reasonably cooperate with Landlord’s efforts to sell the Premises, including by providing information with respect to the Premises, and by allowing and facilitating physical access to the Premises to prospective purchasers and their lenders and consultants, but such cooperation and execution by the Tenant shall not be a condition to the effectiveness of any actions taken by Landlord with respect to such sale or to the effectiveness of Sale Documents.
11.2 Tenant’s Competitors. Provided that (i) no Event of Default by Tenant has occurred under this Lease, and (ii) the Tenant is Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., or an affiliate, and such Tenant remains in possession of the Premises and operating for the Permitted Use, Landlord shall not sell the Premises (or any portion thereof, or all or substantially all of Landlord’s interest therein) or enter into an agreement to that would transfer Landlord’s interest in the Premises to a Competitor during the Term; provided, however, this Section 11.2 shall not prohibit Landlord from entering into an agreement to sell or transfer the Premises to a Competitor if the effective date of the transfer would occur after the expiration of the Term. As used herein, “Competitor” or “Competitors” means the companies expressly listed as competitors in Tenant’s most recent publicly filed Annual Report (10-K); provided, however, (1) such companies shall be directly engaged in the development, manufacturing, or commercializing a medicine or other life sciences product, and “Competitor” shall not mean any affiliates, investors, parents, or other stake-holders of such companies, and (2) there shall not be more than twenty (20) Competitors at any one time. If Tenant’s most recent publicly filed Annual Report (10-K) includes more than twenty (20) companies that would otherwise be deemed Competitors, only those companies that were previously listed in Tenant’s Annual Report (10-K) shall be deemed a Competitor unless Tenant provides a written notice to Landlord specifying which companies listed in Tenant’s most recent Annual Report (10-K) shall be included in the list of twenty (20) Competitors for the purposes of this Lease.
11.3 Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant’s rights under this Article 11 shall not apply to any transaction that meets at least one of the following criteria:
52

11.3.1 any sale/leaseback transaction made in connection with a bona fide financing, provided that the seller/lessee under any such transaction shall be bound by the provisions of this Article 11 at such time, if any, as such seller/lessee reacquires title to the Premises;
11.3.2 any sale or transfer of the Premises to a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity that is under control by, common control with, or controls Landlord or any direct or indirect owner of Landlord, but any such transferee shall hold title subject to Tenant’s rights under this Article 11;
11.3.3 any transfer in the nature of a financing transaction with a financial institution that is made for a bona fide business purpose (i.e., other than in order to allow a transfer of the Premises in avoidance of Tenant’s rights under this Article 11), including without limitation the granting of, foreclosure under, or giving of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure under, a mortgage or the granting or exercise of any pledge of ownership interests; provided that, following any foreclosure of the Premises, deed in lieu thereof, or similar acquisition of title by a mortgagee, lender, or their affiliates, following the first sale of the Premises by such mortgagee, lender or their affiliates, the subsequent Landlord shall be bound by Tenant’s rights under this Article 11;
11.3.4 any issuance or transfer of a direct or indirect interest in Landlord that represents a transfer of less than 80% of such interests (so long as such transfer does not also include the ability to control the day-to-day operations of Landlord); provided that any transferee of direct interests in Landlord otherwise described in this Section 11.3.4 is not a Competitor;
11.3.5 any issuance or transfer of a direct or indirect interest in Landlord on a nationally recognized stock exchange; and
11.3.6 any bona fide portfolio transaction that includes at least two other real estate assets (excluding the Premises and, if the Companion Lease is in effect, the Companion Premises) that in the aggregate have rentable space at least equal to 416,000 square feet of rentable space.
11.4 Termination. Upon (x) any sale of the Premises, (y) any portfolio transaction sale that includes the Premises, or (z) any foreclosure of a Mortgage on the Premises or conveyance by deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, in each case to a third-party person or entity in accordance with the terms of this Article 11, Tenant’s right of first offer to purchase the Premises under this Article 11 shall forever terminate.
11.5 Confidentiality. Any Offer Notice and information in connection therewith, and any information regarding a sale of the Premises, provided to Tenant by Landlord pursuant to this Article 11 shall be held confidential by Tenant and not disclosed to any third party except as required by law or in connection with any dispute between Landlord and Tenant regarding this Article 11 and for disclosures to Tenant’s legal advisors and third-party consultants to the extent such legal advisors and consultants are reasonably required for Tenant to evaluate such information and, in each case, provided that such legal advisors and consultants are made subject to the provisions of this paragraph or are otherwise bound by provisional obligations of confidentiality. Any such information shall be returned by Tenant to Landlord if Tenant’s rights under this Article 11 terminate in accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing in this Section 11.5 shall prevent Tenant from making disclosures required by applicable public company disclosure laws, provided, however, such disclosures shall include no more information than what is minimally necessary to satisfy the legal requirement, and provided further that Landlord shall have the right to reasonably approve any disclosure that exceeds what is minimally necessary to satisfy the legal requirement, and provided further that Landlord shall have the right to review any disclosure prior to the filing of the same for purposes of confirming compliance with the terms of this sentence, to the extent that such review is permitted pursuant to Applicable Law.
53

ARTICLE 12
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
12.1 Landlord’s Liability. Tenant agrees from time to time to look only to Landlord’s interest in the Premises for satisfaction of any claim against Landlord hereunder or under any other instrument related to the Lease (including any separate agreements among the parties and any notices or certificates delivered by Landlord) and not to any other property or assets of Landlord. If Landlord from time to time transfers its interest in the Premises, then from and after each such transfer Tenant shall look solely to the interests in the Premises of Landlord’s transferees for the performance of all of the obligations of Landlord hereunder (or under any related instrument). The obligations of Landlord shall not be binding on any direct or indirect partners (or members, trustees, or beneficiaries) of Landlord or of any successor, individually, but only upon Landlord’s or such successor’s interest described above. Further, if Landlord is, or one of the parties comprising Landlord is, or the Lease is assigned to, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), the parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations of the REIT hereunder and under all documents delivered pursuant hereto (and all documents to which the Lease may be pursuant) or which give effect to, or amend or supplement, the terms of the Lease are not personally binding upon any trustee thereof, any registered or beneficial holder of units (a “Unitholder”) or any annuitant under a plan of which a Unitholder acts as a trustee or carrier, or any officers, employees or agents of the REIT and resort shall not be had to, nor shall recourse or satisfaction be sought from, any of the foregoing or the private property of any of the foregoing.
12.2 Assignment of Rents.
12.2.1 With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage on property that includes the Premises, Tenant agrees that the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such holder shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect and, except as aforesaid, such holder shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises.
12.2.2 In no event shall the acquisition of Landlord’s interest in the Premises by a purchaser that, simultaneously therewith, leases Landlord’s entire interest in the Premises back to the seller thereof be treated as an assumption by operation of Law or otherwise, of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller‑lessee, and its successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lease to such purchaser. For all purposes, such seller‑lessee, and its successors in title, shall be the Landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord’s position shall have been assumed by such purchaser‑lessor.
54

12.2.3 Except as provided in Section 12.2.2, in the event of any transfer of title to the Premises by Landlord, the transferring Landlord shall thereafter be entirely freed and relieved from the performance and observance of all covenants and obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall only look to any subsequent party becoming Landlord hereunder the same. Tenant hereby agrees to enter into such agreements or instruments as may, from time to time, be requested in confirmation of the foregoing.

This Work Letter (this “Work Letter”) is made and entered into as of the date of the Lease to which it is attached (“Effective Date”) and is attached to and made a part of that certain Lease by and by and between LOTS 21 & 22 OWNER (DE) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company as landlord (“Landlord”) and IONIS GAZELLE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company as tenant (“Tenant”) for the development of approximately 8.37 acres (the “Land”) known as Lots 21 and 22 with approximately 164,757 gross square feet, which shall be comprised of a three (3) level lab and office building (the “Building”), a three (3) (inclusive of the rooftop deck) level parking structure (“Parking Structure”) and a pedestrian bridge connecting the Building to an adjacent building leased by Tenant from an affiliate of Landlord (the “Bridge”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Work Letter shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease. In the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of the Lease, the terms hereof shall prevail for the purposes of design and construction of the Improvements (hereinafter defined).
1. Permits and Approvals. Prior to the Effective Date, Tenant has applied for and obtained (or Landlord has obtained by use of its self-help rights under the PSA, as defined below) the discretionary zoning and planning approvals and approvals by the Architecture Committee under the covenants, conditions and restrictions of the Carlsbad Oaks North Business Park Owners Association necessary to obtain a building permit for Landlord’s Construction Work by right (as identified on Schedule 1, attached, the “Entitlements”), and, prior to commencement of construction, has obtained or will obtain the other ministerial permits necessary for the development and construction of the Landlord’s Construction Work (as defined below) (as identified on Schedule 1, attached, the “Ministerial Approvals”; collectively, together with the Entitlements, the “Permits and Approvals”), which Permits and Approvals Tenant acknowledges and agrees are all of the permits, licenses, and approvals necessary for the commencement of construction of all of the Landlord’s Construction Work, provided, however, that following the Effective Date, (x) to the extent Tenant has not yet prepared and/or submitted applications for Ministerial Permits in accordance with the Development Schedule, Landlord (or General Contractor) shall be responsible for preparing and/or submitting such Ministerial Permits and (y) to the extent that Tenant has not yet obtained the building permit referenced on Schedule 1, Landlord shall assume the responsibility for obtaining the same (and the parties shall cooperate to the extent reasonably required for Landlord to do so). The parties acknowledge that certain Permits and Approvals are necessary solely for commencing a particular aspect of the Landlord’s Construction Work (e.g., the grading permit and lot line adjustment between lots 21 & 22). The parties further acknowledge that, following the commencement of vertical construction of the Building and Parking Structure, certain ministerial permits will be obtained by Landlord (or the General Contractor) in the ordinary course as normally obtained in the course of construction.
59

Tenant shall use diligent, best efforts to pursue the Entitlements on or before the Outside Satisfaction Date as defined in (and subject to extensions expressly permitted under) that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated October 20, 2022, by and between Tenant and an affiliate of Landlord (as it may have been amended, the “PSA”). Tenant shall provide Landlord with updates regarding the status of the Permits and Approvals from time to time (and in any event no less often than once per month) and otherwise upon the written request of Landlord. Tenant shall not amend or modify the Entitlements, or submit any new applications for Entitlements, without the prior written consent of Landlord, and, in any event, the final Entitlements shall be subject to the final written approval of Landlord, in each case such consent and approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, provided that it shall be reasonable for Landlord to disapprove of the Entitlements, amendments to them, or applications for any new Entitlements for Landlord’s Construction Work, if they (a) contain conditions (i) the cost of which are not (A) includable within the Construction Costs (unless Tenant agrees in writing to pay such costs directly and such Entitlements, amendments, or applications for new Entitlements otherwise comply with the provisions of clause (ii)) or (B) otherwise the responsibility of Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease (unless Tenant agrees in writing to perform the same and such Entitlements, amendments, or applications for new Entitlements otherwise comply with the provisions of clause (ii)), or (ii) that are not customary for similar first class lab and office projects in the applicable leasing market (including without limitation with respect to costs or obligations resulting from the same that are recurring beyond the termination or earlier expiration of the Term), or (b) are inconsistent with the Approved Concept Plans (as defined below).
The Permits and Approvals shall provide for (a), at a minimum, as-of-right use of the Premises for the Permitted Use, (b) improvements with a lab to office ratio of no less than 35% to 65%, the calculation of which shall be made in good faith by Landlord and Tenant in consultation with the Architect (with any dispute being resolved pursuant to Article 13, below), (c) at least 164,757 square feet of gross floor area (as measured by the applicable zoning codes and ordinances), (d) no fewer than 426 parking stalls, floor-to-floor heights of at least 16 feet, (e) a floor load of at least 125 pounds per square foot live load, 15 pounds per square foot dead load and, in any event, on areas of the roof within areas of mechanical screening or otherwise intended for mechanical equipment installations, at least 150 pounds per square foot, (f) vertical MEP infrastructure sufficient to support a lab to office ratio of at least 50% to 50% (incorporating the minimum standards set forth on Schedule 8, attached), (g) building construction type of II-B, (h) MEP capacities consistent with Schedule 8 and MEP infrastructure consistent with the allocation of responsibility attached as part of Schedule 2, and (j) otherwise be consistent with first class life sciences use, generally (the “Fundamental Requirements”). Landlord shall approve or provide detailed objections to the Entitlements within ten (10) business days of its receipt of the same. If Landlord fails to respond within such ten (10) business day period, Tenant may provide a written reminder notice to Landlord. Landlord’s failure to respond to such reminder notice within three (3) business days after delivery of such notice shall be deemed to be Landlord’s approval of the Entitlements. Prior to making any material submission to a permitting or other governmental authority, committee, association, or other regulatory committee, agency or governing body having jurisdiction over the over the Landlord’s Construction Work (collectively, “governmental authorities”), Tenant shall give the Landlord the opportunity to review and comment on the same, and Tenant shall give Landlord reasonable prior notice of any material meetings, hearings, or conversations with governmental authorities related the Permits and Approvals and give Landlord the reasonable opportunity to participate in the same. Furthermore, to the extent Tenant is responsible for Ministerial Approvals pursuant to this Section 1, Tenant shall submit such applications for Ministerial Approvals to Landlord for its review and comment prior to Tenant submitting the same to the applicable governmental authorities, but such review by Landlord is solely for the purpose of confirming that such applications are consistent with the terms and conditions of this Work Letter. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord as reasonably required to facilitate obtaining the Ministerial Approvals in an orderly and timely manner to the extent the same have not been obtained by Tenant prior to the Effective Date, including by providing Landlord with such information as is necessary with respect to prior and pending applications.

If Tenant is unable to obtain the grading permit listed on Schedule 1 by August 21, 2023 subject to extension due to Landlord Fault (the “Grading Permit Deadline”), then the Delivery Date shall be deemed to occur one-half day earlier for each day following the Grading Permit Deadline until the grading permit has been received (which half-day shall be increased to one day per day of delay in issuance of the grading permit following the Grading Permit Deadline if any failure to obtain the grading permit results in whole or part from the acts or omissions of Tenant or its agents, employees, or representatives, referred to herein as “Tenant Fault”). Landlord agrees to provided notice to Tenant if Landlord is aware of any delay in issuance of the grading permit that results from Tenant Fault. “Landlord Fault” means any actual delay in the Tenant’s ability to obtain the grading permit to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of Landlord or any its agents, employees, or representatives. Tenant agrees to provide notice to Landlord if Tenant is aware of any delay in the issuance of the grading permit that results from Landlord Fault.
2. Design of the Landlord’s Construction Work. Prior to the Effective Date, Tenant has caused the Architect to prepare, and the Landlord and Tenant have approved, the conceptual plans and the allocation of responsibility for the Landlord’s Construction Work as further described on Schedule 2, attached (collectively, the “Approved Concept Plans”). The Approved Concept Plans will be developed into Approved Core and Shell Plans as further provided in Section 5.2, below.
3. Landlord’s Construction. Promptly following the date on which the Permits and Approvals have been received and are no longer subject to any potential appeal or challenge and the execution of the GMP Contract as set forth in Section 4.3 below (but in no event prior to the Effective Date), or on such earlier date as Landlord may elect in its discretion, Landlord shall cause the General Contractor (hereinafter defined) to commence and diligently prosecute the construction of the shell and core of the Building to completion pursuant to the Approved Shell and Core Plans (the “Shell and Core”), in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Work Letter subject only to Shell and Core Permitted Changes and any other changes authorized pursuant to this Work Letter (all such construction, the “Landlord’s Construction Work”). Tenant shall construct the tenant improvements in the Building pursuant to the Approved TI Plans (the “Tenant Improvements”) as further provided below. The Landlord’s Construction Work, together with the Tenant Improvements shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Building Improvements”. Landlord’s Construction Work shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, and in accordance with Applicable Laws (subject only to such incomplete work as will not materially adversely impact Tenant’s continuous and uninterrupted use of the Premises for Tenant’s Permitted Use). The allocation of responsibility for completion of the Building Improvements is included as part of Schedule 2. The parties acknowledge and agree that Landlord has agreed to perform certain Tenant Improvements on behalf of the Tenant (the “TI by Landlord”) in coordination with the Landlord’s Construction Work and Tenant has agreed to perform certain Landlord’s Construction Work in coordination with the Tenant Improvements (the “LCW by Tenant”) as further described on Schedule 9, attached. Following the completion of the Approved TI Plans for the TI by Landlord, the parties shall cooperate to make such adjustments as are necessary to the allocation of responsibility included in Schedule 2 to reflect the full scope of the LCW by Tenant and the TI by Landlord
61

3.1. Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Construction Work. Landlord’s Construction Work shall be deemed “Substantially Complete” or there shall be “Substantial Completion” at such time as (a) Landlord has received an AIA form certificate from the Architect confirming that the Landlord’s Construction Work is substantially complete substantially in accordance with the Approved Shell and Core Plans, other than seasonal items such as balancing and landscaping, and other Punchlist Items (as defined below), and (b) all certifications and approvals with respect to the completion of the Landlord’s Construction Work that may be required from any governmental authority to permit occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use, generally (as opposed to Tenant’s use, specifically) have been obtained by Landlord (to the extent they may be obtained prior to the completion of the Tenant Improvements). The date on which Landlord’s Construction Work is deemed Substantially Complete pursuant to the foregoing shall be referred to herein as the “Substantial Completion Date.” As used herein, the “Delivery Date” means the date that is the earlier to occur of (x) the date (i) the Landlord’s Construction Work is in the condition required by Schedule 7 (the “Delivery Condition”), and (ii) Landlord has provided Tenant with reasonably continuous and uninterrupted access to the Project for the construction of Tenant Improvements, subject to the reasonable requirements necessary for, and established by, Landlord’s General Contractor to allow it to obtain Substantial Completion, complete the Punchlist Items and exercise any of its other rights or obligations under this Work Letter and the Lease within the time periods set forth herein and (y) 60 days after the date that Tenant enters any portion of the Premises for the commencement of substantial work in connection with the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, in no event shall minor work such as the MEP deck inserts/hangers or other minor work that is installed early in the interest of efficiency be considered the commencement of the Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Work Letter or the Lease, neither the LCW by Tenant nor the TI by Landlord is included for purposes of the determination of Substantial Completion, Delivery Condition, or the Delivery Date (the completion of the TI by Landlord being addressed in Section 11, below).
On a date or dates reasonably specified by Landlord (but not later than five (5) business days following Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Construction Work), Landlord and Tenant and each of their architects shall inspect the Landlord’s Construction Work for the purpose of preparing a list of the punchlist type items, and any items of a seasonal nature such as balancing and landscaping, then remaining to be completed for the Landlord’s Construction Work (the items on such list being referred to as “Punchlist Items”). Landlord shall, within ten (10) business days after the date of such inspection, submit a final punchlist to Tenant, and Tenant shall sign and return the final punchlist to Landlord within five (5) business days of Landlord’s delivery of such final punchlist to Tenant (or, if earlier, by the day before Tenant takes occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use), noting any items that Tenant reasonably believes should be added thereto. Items shall not be added to the final punchlist by Tenant after it is delivered to Landlord and the expiration of such five (5) business day period. If the final punchlist is not executed by Tenant and returned to Landlord within such five (5) business day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the final punchlist as submitted to Tenant by Landlord without modification and, except as set forth on the final punchlist, Landlord shall have no further obligation to cause any other Landlord’s Construction Work to be completed. With respect to items on the final punchlist not in dispute, Landlord shall cause such items to be completed as soon as reasonably practicable in a diligent manner during regular business hours, but in a manner that will seek to minimize interruption of Tenant’s construction of the Tenant Improvements. In any event, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete all punchlist work within 60 days (or such longer period as is reasonably required with respect to applicable items), other than matters that cannot be completed owing to their seasonal nature (which shall be completed as soon as reasonably practicable in a diligent manner), and subject to extension for Force Majeure and Tenant Delays. With respect to any disputed final punchlist items, Landlord shall cause such items to be completed in like manner, but Landlord may nevertheless reserve Landlord’s rights to require Tenant to pay the costs therefor as Construction Costs. In the event of a dispute between Landlord and Tenant over Punchlist Items, the parties shall submit such dispute to resolution pursuant to Section 13, below. A separate process for the determination of substantial completion, punchlist, and completion of the same will apply with respect to the TI by Landlord, to be performed in the manner set forth above.
62

3.2. Schedule and Budget. As of the date hereof, Landlord and Tenant estimate that (a) the Delivery Date will occur on or before February 21, 2025 (the “Target Delivery Date”), and (b) the Substantial Completion Date of Landlord’s Construction Work will occur on or before December 21, 2025 (the “Target Substantial Completion Date”). The final GMP agreement with the Contractor shall set forth an updated, estimated Delivery Date (the “Estimated Delivery Condition Date”) and Substantial Completion Date (the “Estimated Substantial Completion Date”) based on the initial construction of the Landlord’s Construction Work (excluding the TI by Landlord and the LCW by Tenant). If Landlord reasonably believes the costs and expenses of achieving Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Construction Work (excluding the TI by Landlord and the LCW by Tenant) will exceed the contemplated costs and expenses thereof as set forth in the Budget, then Landlord will promptly notify Tenant’s Authorized Representative (by telephone, fax, email, or letter) thereof. All books and records for the Landlord’s Construction Work and the TI by Landlord will be made available to Tenant on an “open book” basis (and Landlord’s contract with the General Contractor shall require that the General Contractor shall also make available all of its books and records on the same “open book” basis, and, in coordination with the Landlord’s final closeout of the construction contract with the General Contractor, Tenant may reasonably request that Landlord enforce its rights to audit the General Contractor’s books and records to the full extent allowed by the Landlord’s contract with the General Contractor, the costs of which audit shall be included in Construction Costs as a soft cost). Landlord’s contract with the General Contractor for the Landlord’s Construction Work shall be substantially in the form submitted to Tenant by e-mail delivery from Geoff Howell of DLA Piper LLP (US) to David Crawford of Cooley LLP and Mallorie Klemens of Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. on August 22, 2022 and otherwise subject to Tenant’s review and comment. Tenant shall have five (5) business days to review and reasonably comment on the final form of construction contract after delivery to Tenant. If Tenant fails to respond within such five (5) business day period, Landlord may provide a written reminder notice to Tenant. Tenant’s failure to respond to such reminder notice within two (2) business days after delivery of such notice shall be deemed to be a waiver of Tenant’s right to comment.
63

3.3. Construction Costs. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Work Letter, Landlord shall pay the costs to construct the Landlord’s Construction Work in accordance with this Work Letter. As further provided in the definition of Base Rent within the Basic Lease Information section of the Lease, the Base Rent for the Premises shall be determined based on the costs of Landlord to acquire, design, construct, finance, and otherwise develop the Landlord’s Construction Work (“Construction Costs”) with a return-on-cost interest rate of 6.35%. Construction Costs include the costs and expenses of (a) Landlord’s acquisition of the Land, including all closing costs and expenses thereof, (b) reimbursements to Tenant for the TI Allowance (hereinafter defined), (c) the General Contractor and other contractors and subcontractors, (d) space planning, architectural services, engineering and other related services, (e) building and other permits and other taxes, fees, charges and levies by any governmental authority for the entitlements (including without limitation pursuant to the Permits and Approvals) or for inspections of the Building Improvements, (f) labor, material, buildings, building systems, equipment, fixtures, additions and decorations, (g) all Taxes assessed or imposed and other carrying costs (including interest on debt) for the period from the Effective Date through the Commencement Date, (h) any association fees, (i) all utilities and other out-of-pocket operating costs necessary for development and construction, or deficiencies necessary to be paid in order to reconstruct the Landlord’s Construction Work following any damage or destruction that occurs prior to the Lease Commencement Date, (j) insurance costs payable to the General Contractor and any other insurance obtained by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Work Letter or otherwise required by any lender, (k) legal fees incurred in connection with the Landlord’s Construction Work; (l) any costs incurred with respect to off-site improvements and mitigation such as traffic improvements, sidewalk improvements, and the like; (m) so-called linkage fees and other fees and payments in the nature of mitigation for project impacts as required by Applicable Law or the Permits and Approvals, (n) utility connection fees and deposits, (o) off-site improvements required by Permits and Approvals or to complete the Landlord’s Construction Work in accordance with the Approved Core and Shell Plans, (p) pre-construction fees and payments to the General Contractor and other consultants, including any so-called design-assist fees and payments to subcontractors, (q) costs (including interests and fees thereon) incurred by Landlord or any holder of a direct or indirect interest in Landlord in connection with obtaining, negotiating and closing the financing of the acquisition and development of the Premises or the Landlord’s obligations hereunder (including without limitation any construction loan for the Landlord’s Construction Work), (r) any sales and use taxes on materials included within the Landlord’s Construction Work, (s) the Developer Fee (as defined below), (t) costs to remove, store, remediate, and otherwise handle any Hazardous Materials, (u) reasonably allocated costs of the gross salary and wages or pro rata share thereof, federal and state unemployment taxes, social security taxes, group medical and health insurance premiums, worker’s compensation insurance and other benefits of Landlord and its affiliates engaged in the design, construction, financing, and development of the Landlord’s Construction Work, not to exceed $1,300,000.00 unless resulting from unusually frequent (when judged in accordance with industry custom and practice) change requests, unusually frequent (when judged in accordance with industry custom and practice) requests for information, or other acts or omissions of Tenant, Tenant Delays, Shell and Core Tenant Change Order Requests, or delays in the Landlord’s Construction Work caused by Force Majeure, (v) costs to complete work and enforce warranties and indemnities during the Corrective Period (as defined below), (w) any other costs and expenses necessary for the acquisition, design, development, financing, and construction of the Project as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, and (x) all the foregoing paid by Landlord with respect to the LCW by Tenant in accordance with Section 6(c), below. Construction Costs shall not include any “project management” fees payable to Landlord or its affiliates, other than the Developer Fee, and Landlord acknowledges that it shall not include a third-party project management consultant in addition to the general contractor as part of Construction Costs. For purposes of this Lease, any funds delivered by Landlord to pay any Construction Costs shall be deemed to constitute “Disbursements”, and “Aggregate Disbursements” will mean the aggregate amount of funds disbursed by Landlord for the Landlord’s Costs. To the extent that Tenant has paid or does pay any design or pre-development costs directly prior to the Effective Date that would otherwise be an eligible Construction Cost if incurred by Landlord pursuant to this paragraph, such cost shall not be a Construction Cost or otherwise included in the determination of Base Rent. For purposes of clarity, it is acknowledged and agreed that Landlord shall (by assumption from Tenant in accordance with this Work Letter or directly) hold all contracts for the design and (except for the LCW by Tenant) construction of the Landlord’s Construction Work from and after the Effective Date, and Tenant shall hold all contracts for the design and (except for the TI by Landlord) construction of the Tenant Improvements. The parties acknowledge that there will be separate Corrective Periods for the Landlord’s Construction Work and TI by Landlord.
64

3.4. For a period commencing, and not to exceed, sixty (60) days prior to the occurrence of Delivery Condition for the Premises, Tenant shall have the right, upon at least seventy-two (72) hours’ prior written notice via e-mail to Landlord’s Authorized Representatives, to commence the Tenant Improvements and prosecute the same on a schedule to be mutually agreed upon with Landlord and the General Contractor (the “Early Access Schedule”) subject to Landlord’s and the General Contractor’s reasonable security and safety precautions; provided, however, that prior to any such entry, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord in advance that insurance coverages required of Tenant under the provisions of Section 8.3, below are in effect. Such entry shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and subject to all the terms and conditions of the Lease, except for the payment of Rent. In the course of such entry, Tenant and its contractors shall not interfere with or delay the occurrence of Delivery Condition or Landlord’s completion of the Landlord’s Construction Work. Tenant and any Tenant contractor shall not damage, the Landlord’s Construction Work. Tenant shall be responsible for the costs to repair any Landlord’s Construction Work to the extent damaged by Tenant’s contractors during the early access period. Following the Effective Date, Landlord and Tenant shall review the Early Access Schedule monthly with the General Contractor to determine with the General Contractor whether updates are needed to reflect the actual progress of the Landlord’s Construction Work (e.g., including to allow access on an earlier date than originally set forth in the Early Access Schedule if Landlord’s Construction Work is ahead of schedule).
Any requirements of any such Tenant contractor for services from Landlord or the General Contractor, such as hoisting, electrical or mechanical needs, shall be paid for by Tenant and arranged between such Tenant contractor and Landlord or Landlord’s Contractor. Should the Tenant Improvements depend on the installed field conditions of any item of Landlord’s Construction Work, such Tenant contractor shall ascertain such field conditions after installation of such item of Landlord’s Construction Work. Neither Landlord nor the General Contractor shall be required or obliged to alter the method, time or manner for performing Landlord’s Construction Work on account of the Tenant Improvements, but Landlord’s General Contractor shall cooperate with Tenant to allow Tenant access to prosecute its work in accordance with the Early Access Schedule. Tenant shall cause each Tenant contractor performing Tenant Improvements on the Premises prior to the occurrence of Delivery Condition to substantially clean up regularly and remove its debris from the Premises and Building to the extent reasonably required by the Landlord’s General Contractor.
65

4. General Requirements.
4.1. Authorized Representatives.
(a) Landlord designates, as Landlord’s authorized representative (“Landlord’s Authorized Representative”), Michael Haverty (e-mail: [***], phone: [***]) as the person authorized to initial plans, drawings, change orders, and provide consents and approvals pursuant to this Work Letter. Tenant shall not be obligated to respond to or act upon any such item until such item has been initialed or signed (as applicable) by the appropriate Landlord’s Authorized Representative. Landlord may change Landlord’s Authorized Representative upon one (1) business day’s prior written notice to Tenant. Deliveries to Landlord’s Authorized Representative by e-mail will be sufficient for purposes of delivery of notices and submissions required under this Work Letter, provided that an e-mail delivery made after 5 p.m. shall be treated as having been delivered on the next business day.
(b) Tenant designates Wayne Sanders (e-mail: [***], phone: [***]) (“Tenant’s Authorized Representative”) as the person authorized to initial all plans, drawings, change orders and provide consent and approvals pursuant to this Work Letter. Landlord shall not be obligated to respond to or act upon any such item until such item has been initialed or signed (as applicable) by Tenant’s Authorized Representative. Tenant may change Tenant’s Authorized Representative upon one (1) business day’s prior written notice to Landlord. Deliveries to Tenant’s Authorized Representative by e-mail will be sufficient for purposes of delivery of notices and submissions required under this Work Letter, provided that an e-mail delivery made after 5 p.m. shall be treated as having been delivered on the next business day.
4.2. Architects, Contractors and Consultants. The architect, engineering consultants, general contractor and major subcontractors responsible for the design and construction of the Landlord’s Construction Work shall be selected by Landlord and approved by Tenant, which approval Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. Landlord’s request for approval of any design or construction professional shall be approved or disapproved by Tenant within five (5) business days after delivery to Tenant. If Tenant fails to respond within such five (5) business day period, Landlord shall provide a written reminder notice to Tenant. Tenant’s failure to respond to such reminder notice within three (3) business days after delivery of such notice shall be deemed approval by Tenant of the applicable consultant. The parties acknowledge that DG Architects, Inc., dba DGA is approved as the architect, Spurlok is approved as the landscape architect, and EXP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineering, inclusive of Fire Alarm and Fire Sprinkler Basis of Design), KPFF (structural engineering), Pasco, Laret Suiter & Associates (civil engineering), Waveguide (acoustics/vibration consultant), Forsyth Consulting (building envelope consulting and waterproofing) are approved as engineers and consultants, and BNBuilders is approved as General Contractor. Except as pre-approved in this Section 4.2, Tenant may refuse to use any architects, consultants, contractors, subcontractors or material suppliers that Tenant reasonably believes could cause labor disharmony during the construction of the Tenant Improvements. The approved architect is referred to herein as the “Architect”. Tenant shall enter into an architect’s agreement with Architect (the “Architect’s Contract”) on a form provided by Landlord and approved by Landlord. Tenant shall use diligent, good faith efforts to enter into the Architect’s Contract on or before November 1, 2022, and in any event shall enter into the Architect’s Contract prior to the submission of schematic design plans to Landlord for its review.. As of the Effective Date, Landlord shall assume the Architect’s Contract. Prior to the Effective Date, Tenant shall not modify or amend the Architect’s Contract or approve any changes in the personnel providing services under the Architect’s Contract without the prior consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in its sole discretion, and Tenant shall copy Landlord on all written communications with, and submissions to, the Architect. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may hire, at its sole cost (subject to reimbursement as a soft cost out of the TI Allowance), an “owner’s representative” in connection with the Project (a “Project Manager”), which Project Manager shall be reasonably approved by Landlord and be entitled to participate in meetings and receive any information to which Tenant is entitled under this Work Letter. Landlord acknowledges that it has approved Project Management Advisors, Inc. dba PMA as Tenant’s Project Manager. The “General Contractor” for the Landlord’s Construction Work means BNBuilders (or such other general contractor as may be proposed by either party and approved by the other in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), the parties acknowledging that such selection took place prior to the Effective Date through a collaborative process based on Tenant’s request for proposal submitted to the General Contractor candidates, a copy of which has been provided to Landlord. Tenant provided Landlord with copies of responses to the request for proposal as well as all material communications between Tenant and any general contractor candidates. As used in this Work Letter, “significant subcontractors and material suppliers” means those subcontractors and suppliers (including the General Contractor, with respect to any self-performed work) that the parties agree fall within the category of “material” based on the final list of trades needed to bid on the Landlord’s Construction Work, as reasonably agreed to by the parties. Notwithstanding the forgoing to the contrary, the LCW by Tenant shall be performed by Tenant’s approved contractor and subcontractors as part of the Tenant Improvements and the TI by Landlord shall be performed by the General Contractor as part of the Landlord’s Construction Work (but responsibility for the design of such work shall remain with the Architect or Tenant’s architect responsible for the Tenant Improvements (with respect to the TI by Landlord) and the Landlord’s Construction Work (with respect to the LCW by Tenant).
66

4.3. Landlord shall endeavor to cause Tenant to be designated as a third party beneficiary with respect to each warranty and/or indemnity with respect to the Landlord’s Construction Work and the TI by Landlord that is made by the General Contractor or any “significant subcontractors and material suppliers” against which Landlord is able to exercise remedies pursuant to a contractual right ( each, a “Material Contractor”, and each such warranty/indemnity, a “Third Party Beneficiary Warranty”), including without limitation Landlord’s rights during the Corrective Period (as defined below); provided, however, that it shall not be a default of Landlord hereunder if Landlord is unable to do so. Tenant shall not exercise its rights with respect to any Third Party Beneficiary Warranty until Substantial Completion has occurred and then only if (a) Tenant identifies any part of the Landlord’s Construction Work that violates such Third Party Beneficiary Warranty (a “Warranty Issue”), (b) Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of any Warranty Issue, (c) the GMP Contract does not prohibit Landlord as the owner or Tenant as the third party beneficiary from exercising its rights with respect to such warranty/indemnity, and (d) either (i) within fifteen (15) business days after receiving such notice from Tenant, Landlord has not requested that the respective Material Contractor address such Warranty Issue, or (ii) Landlord fails to diligently endeavor to cause the Material Contractor to address such Warranty Issue (the parties acknowledging that, from and after the Corrective Period (as defined below), Landlord has no obligation to pursue any such Warranty Issue). Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, in any event during the Corrective Period Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the General Contractor to repair any latent defects discovered by Tenant in the Landlord’s Construction Work and the TI by Landlord and of which Landlord receives timely notice from Tenant during the Corrective Period. Following the Corrective Period, Landlord shall assign all warranties and indemnities for the Landlord’s Construction Work and the TI by Landlord to Tenant, to the extent assignable, and, whether or not assignable, shall cooperate with Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost, to the extent necessary in pursuing any warranty or indemnity claim under the third-party contracts for the Landlord’s Construction Work. The provisions of this paragraph shall be the Tenant’s sole remedy in the event of any defect in the Landlord’s Construction Work and the TI by Landlord. In no event shall Landlord have any responsibility with respect to defects in the LCW by Tenant, it being understood and agreed that such work shall be treated in the manner of Tenant Improvements following the substantial completion of the same (e.g., Tenant will be responsible for final completion and correction of any defects in the LCW by Tenant and insuring the LCW by Tenant).
67

4.4. GMP Contract. Following the completion of the Approved Core and Shell Plans, Landlord shall cause the General Contractor to solicit bids from at least three subcontractors for each significant subcontract and material supplier (unless fewer than three qualified bidders are available) and shall provide to, and review the bids with, Tenant. In the event that the General Contractor desires to self-perform a significant subcontract scope of work, either Landlord shall require the General Contractor to obtain at least two subcontractor bids for each trade to be self-performed, or Landlord shall engage a third-party cost estimator (as a Construction Cost) to provide an estimate of the same scope of work, and cause such cost estimator and General Contractor to reconcile estimates within +/-5% prior to approving the General Contractor’s bid. Landlord shall select the lowest qualified bid unless otherwise instructed by Tenant. Landlord covenants that it will, within thirty (30) days following the completion of bidding, enter into a guaranteed maximum price contract between Landlord and General Contractor, which shall provide for the one hundred percent (100%) lien-free completion of the Landlord’s Construction Work, provide for a correction period for defective work of at least twelve (12) (and not more than twenty-four (24)) months (as set forth in the contract, the “Corrective Period”), and be based on the final bids and otherwise approved terms of the form of construction contract ((the “GMP Contract”). The GMP Contract shall contain a complete line item budget to complete the Landlord’s Construction Work in a manner consistent with similar projects. The parties acknowledge that certain long lead packages may be bid and procured separately by Landlord prior to the execution of the GMP Contract. The parties further acknowledge that it may be prudent, on the advice of the General Contractor or any other consultant providing pre-construction services, to procure some long lead items contained within the Landlord’s Construction Work prior the execution of the GMP Contract or to place deposits for the acquisition of the same, in each case as a means to mitigate against potential supply chain issues during construction. The parties shall collaborate and cooperate in discussing opportunities for such mitigation. In connection with any agreement to spend such amounts prior to the Effective Date, the parties shall agree on how such sums shall be treated for the purposes of Construction Costs (with the understanding that amounts spent by Landlord on any such items shall be considered part of Construction Costs, Landlord having no obligation to incur any such costs prior to the Effective Date). The parties further acknowledge that the GMP Contract shall reflect strategies developed with the General Contractor to mitigate against risks of supply chain delays; Landlord shall use reasonable efforts, in collaboration with Tenant, to minimize the right of the General Contractor under the GC Contract to claim extensions for Force Majeure resulting from supply chain delays, consistent with similar projects in the same market. The TI by Landlord shall be priced separately from the remainder of the GMP Contract as a change order on either a lump sum or cost-plus-fee, not to exceed, basis, and Landlord shall cause the General Contractor to segregate the accounting of the same. Landlord shall consult with Tenant in the finalization of such change order to provide Tenant with the opportunity to institute TI Changes related to the TI by Landlord as appropriate for Tenant’s value-engineering purposes.
68

4.5. Schedule. The currently anticipated schedule for the development, and completion of the Landlord’s Construction Work is attached hereto as Schedule 3 to the Work Letter (the “Schedule”). Following the Effective Date, the Landlord shall update the Schedule from time to time to reflect the actual status of the Landlord’s Construction Work (other than the LCW by Tenant) and to the extent applicable, the TI by Landlord. Landlord will provide Tenant with regular updates to the Schedule; provided at a minimum, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a monthly updated Schedule and a reconciliation of the actual progress of Landlord’s Construction Work (other than the LCW by Tenant) against the Schedule. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Landlord’s Construction Work (other than the LCW by Tenant) and the TI by Landlord in accordance with the Schedule, but Tenant acknowledges that such Schedule is subject to change from time to time to reflect the actual progress of the Landlord’s Construction Work and the TI by Landlord and that failure to comply with the same shall not result in a default under this Lease. Following the commencement of construction, Landlord shall hold weekly a construction meeting that includes Tenant’s Project Manager, the General Contractor, and the Architect.
5. Shell and Core. Landlord’s Construction Work related to the Shell and Core shall be performed by Landlord at Landlord’s sole cost and expense substantially in accordance with the Approved Shell and Core Plans, subject only to changes made in accordance with this Work Letter. The LCW by Tenant shall be performed by Tenant at Landlord’s sole cost and expense substantially in accordance with the Approved Shell and Core Plans, subject only to changes made in accordance with this Work Letter.
5.1. Approved Design Development Plans. As noted above, the parties have approved the Approved Concept Plans. Prior to the Effective Date, Landlord acknowledges that Tenant shall have the right to make changes to the Approved Concept Plans as required to comply with the requirements of the City of Carlsbad, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed (it being reasonable for Landlord to disapprove of such changes if such change will result in the Landlord’s Construction Work not complying with the Fundamental Requirements). Once approved, any such change shall be incorporated into the Approved Concept Plans by the Architect.
69

5.2. Approved Shell and Core Plans. Prior to the Effective Date, and in any event no later than October 17, 2022, Tenant shall cause the Architect to develop full schematic design documents for the entire Premises that are consistent with the Approved Concept Plans, which schematic design documents shall be subject to Landlord’s written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that the same are consistent with the Concept Plans, the requirements of the Permits and Approvals, and the Fundamental Requirements, and achievement of Delivery Condition and Substantial Completion by the Target Delivery Condition Date and Target Substantial Completion Date, respectively (as approved, the “Approved Schematic Plans”). Following the Effective Date, Landlord shall cause the Architect to prepare design development documents and final 100% construction documents for the Landlord’s Construction Work (including the LCW by Tenant) that (a) are consistent with and are logical evolutions of the Approved Schematic Plans or reasonably inferable therefrom, and (b) incorporate any Shell and Core Permitted Changes, and (c) incorporate any other Landlord-requested (and Tenant approved) Shell and Core Changes. As soon as such design development documents and the final construction documents (collectively, “Landlord’s Shell and Core Plans”) are completed, Landlord shall deliver the same to Tenant for Tenant’s approval, which approval may be withheld only if: (i) the applicable Landlord’s Shell and Core Work Plans are neither consistent with nor logical evolutions of the Approved Schematic Plans or the previously approved design development documents, as applicable, or (ii) such plans are otherwise inconsistent with the requirements of this paragraph. Such Landlord’s Shell and Core Plans shall be approved or disapproved by Tenant within ten (10) business days after delivery to Tenant (or five (5) business days with respect to any resubmission of plans to Tenant). If Tenant fails to respond within such ten (10) (or (five (5), as applicable) business day period, Landlord may provide a written reminder notice to Tenant. Tenant’s failure to respond to such reminder notice within five (5) business days after delivery of such notice shall be deemed approval by Tenant of the applicable Landlord’s Shell and Core Plans. If the applicable Landlord’s Shell and Core Plans are disapproved by Tenant, then Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of its detailed objections to such Landlord’s Shell and Core Plans, and Landlord shall revise the applicable Landlord’s Shell and Core Plans accordingly unless it disputes the basis of such objections, in which case such dispute shall be resolved as provided in Section 13, below. The final Landlord’s Shell and Core Plans so approved, and all change orders and other changes thereto specifically permitted by this Work Letter, are referred to herein as the “Approved Shell and Core Plans.” If the Approved Schematic Plans are completed and finally approved by Landlord prior to the Effective Date, the parties acknowledge that they shall collaborate and cooperate to have Tenant cause the Architect to proceed with generating design development documents for the Landlord’s Construction Work, with the intent of completing the same for submission to the parties on or about December 9, 2022. The approval of the design development documents by Landlord, to the extent occurring prior to the Effective Date, shall be handled in the manner applicable to the schematic design documents. As a condition to the authorization of the architect to proceed with the design development phase prior to the Effective Date, the parties shall agree on how such sums shall be treated for the purposes of Construction Costs. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Approved Shell and Core Plans shall be designed to meet at least LEED Gold certification standards and Tenant shall, prior to the Effective Date, submit the Building for pre-certification under LEED Gold standards and diligently pursue pre-certification. The parties shall cooperate as reasonable required to obtain LEED Gold (or such better standard as has been designed) certification for the Building, Landlord and Tenant acknowledging that the inability to obtain such certification for matters not within the control of Landlord and Tenant (such as the failure of the LEED program to continue to exist) shall not be deemed to be a default hereunder.
The parties shall cooperate to schedule periodic design and construction meetings at mutually agreeable times, such meetings to take place no less often than monthly, with respect to Landlord’s Construction Work and Tenant Improvements, and (following commencement of the Tenant Improvements) bi-weekly with respect to the Tenant Improvements. The parties shall keep each other reasonably informed with respect to their respective work, and Landlord and Tenant agree to provide each other with such information as may be reasonably requested by the other party with respect to the Landlord’s Construction Work and Tenant Improvements, as applicable.

5.3. Landlord Project Developer Fee. Tenant shall be required to pay Landlord a (a) project developer fee in the amount of three (3%) percent of the hard and soft costs of construction of the Landlord’s Construction Work (other than the LCW by Tenant, for which such percentage shall be two (2%) percent), and (b) an oversight fee in the amount of one (1%) percent of the hard and soft costs of construction of the Tenant Improvements (other than the TI by Landlord, for which such percentage shall be two (2%) percent) (collectively, the “Developer Fee”).
5.4. Changes to Shell and Core Plans. Any changes to the Approved Shell and Core Plans (each, a “Shell and Core Change”) requested by Landlord or Tenant (other than Shell and Core Permitted Changes by Landlord, which do not require any approval) shall be requested and instituted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4 and shall be subject to the written approval of the other party in accordance with this Work Letter.
(a) Shell and Core Changes Requested by Tenant.
(i) Shell and Core Tenant Change Order Request. Following the Effective Date (but in no event later than the date that is one month following the date that the final Landlord’s Shell and Core Plans are submitted by Landlord to Tenant for approval), Tenant may request Shell and Core Changes to the Approved Shell and Core Plans to accommodate the design of the Tenant Improvements by notifying Landlord thereof in writing in a change order form provided by Landlord that is substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “Shell and Core Tenant Change Order Request”), which Shell and Core Tenant Change Order Request shall detail the nature and extent of any requested Shell and Core Changes, including, without limitation, (A) the Shell and Core Change and (B) any modification of the Approved Shell and Core Plans, as applicable. In the event Landlord approves any Shell and Core Change, Landlord shall: (1) notify Tenant if it reasonably believes such Shell and Core Change could cause a delay in the Estimated Delivery Condition Date or the Estimated Substantial Completion Date; and (2) provide Landlord’s reasonable estimate of any additional costs and expenses associated with such Shell and Core Change. Shell and Core Tenant Change Order Requests shall be signed by Tenant’s Authorized Representative.
(ii) Landlord’s Approval of Shell and Core Changes. All Tenant-requested Shell and Core Changes shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as such Shell and Core Change, as reasonably determined by Landlord, (A) could not reasonably be expected to (1) adversely impact (a) the exterior appearance of the Building, (b) the structural aspects of the Building, or (c) any building system, including, without limitation, the HVAC, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or life safety systems installed in connection with the Landlord’s Construction Work; (2) create a foreseeable risk of violating any, or actually violate any, Applicable Law or the Permits and Approvals (or require a modification of the same), or any other permit requirement, (3) materially increase insurance premiums; (4) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, materially reduce the quality or value of the Building or the Property, (5) result in a Fundamental Change, or (6) delay the occurrence of Delivery Condition or Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Construction Work by more than 30 days when combined with all other then-existing Tenant Delays (each, a “Design Problem”), and (B) will not cause the hard costs of the Landlord’s Construction Work to increase by more than one (1%) percent in the aggregate (based on the Landlord’s Budget) unless Tenant makes provisions to pay for the same that are acceptable to Landlord and its construction lender. Landlord shall have ten (10) days after receipt of a Shell and Core Tenant Change Order Request to notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s decision either to approve or disapprove Tenant-requested Shell and Core Change. If Landlord fails to respond within such ten (10) day period, Tenant may provide a written reminder notice to Landlord. Landlord’s failure to respond to such reminder notice within three (3) days after delivery of such notice shall be deemed approval by Landlord of the Shell and Core Tenant Change Order Request. Any dispute regarding the Landlord’s disapproval of a Shell and Core Tenant Change Order Request shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13, below.
71

(b) Shell and Core Changes Requested by Landlord.
(i) Shell and Core Landlord Change Order Request. Landlord may request Shell and Core Changes to the Landlord’s Construction Work by notifying Tenant thereof in writing in a change order form provided by Landlord that is substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “Shell and Core Landlord Change Order Request”), which Shell and Core Landlord Change Order Request shall detail the nature and extent of any requested Shell and Core Changes, including, without limitation, (A) the Shell and Core Change, (B) any modification of the Design Development Plans or the Approved Shell and Core Plans, as applicable, and (C) any changes to the Estimated Delivery Condition Date or Estimated Substantial Completion Date resulting from the Shell and Core Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall have no obligation to request the approval of Shell and Core Permitted Changes.
(ii) Tenant’s Approval of Shell and Core Change. Tenant shall have ten (10) days after receipt of a Shell and Core Landlord Change Order Request to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s approval or rejection of the Landlord-requested Shell and Core Change, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Tenant fails to respond within such ten (10) day period, then Landlord may provide Tenant with a second written notice stating that “Tenant’s failure to respond within three (3) days after Landlord’s second notice shall be deemed Tenant’s approval to such Shell and Core Landlord Change Order Request,” and if Tenant does not respond with such three (3) day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such Shell and Core Landlord Change Order Request. Any dispute regarding the Tenant’s disapproval of a Shell and Core Tenant Change Order Request shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13, below.
(c) Shell and Core Permitted Changes. For purposes of this Work Letter, a “Shell and Core Permitted Change” shall mean: (i) minor field changes; (ii) changes required by governmental authority or to comply with Permits and Approvals or Applicable Laws; (iii) any other changes that both: (A) could not reasonably be expected to (1) adversely impact (a) the structural aspects of the Building, (b) the exterior appearance of the Building (other than de minimis changes that do not result from a change in exterior material specifications, such as locations of items behind screening on the roof, final adjustments in the positioning of exterior doors or loading bays, and the like), (c) Tenant’s ability to construct the Tenant Improvements as shown on the Approved TI Plans, or (d) any building system, including, without limitation, the HVAC, mechanical, electrical, plumbing or life safety systems installed in connection with the Landlord’s Construction Work; (2) create a foreseeable risk of violating any, or actually violate any, Applicable Law or the Permits and Approvals (or require a modification of the same), or any other permit requirement, (3) materially increase insurance premiums; or (4) delay the Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Construction Work by more than 30 days, and (B) do not materially change the size, cost, configuration, or overall appearance of the Building, Bridge or Parking Structure, materially and adversely affect Landlord’s ability to perform the Landlord’s Construction Work or materially and adversely affect Tenant’s ability to operate its business in the Building, and (iv) changes required for the ordinary development of the Approved Shell and Core Plans in a manner not inconsistent with the Approved Shell and Core Plans. Shell and Core Permitted Changes may be made by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Shell and Core Permitted Changes to the LCW by Tenant may be requested by Tenant in its reasonable discretion and shall be implemented by Landlord, but, with respect to changes described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of this subparagraph (c), only in consultation with Landlord and with the Landlord’s reasonable approval.
72

6. Tenant Improvements. Following delivery of the Premises to Tenant on the Delivery Date, the Tenant Improvements shall be performed by Tenant (or, with respect to the TI by Landlord, by Landlord) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to the TI Allowance) substantially in accordance with the Approved TI Plans (subject only to changes made in accordance with Section 6.3), the provisions of the Lease governing Alterations (to the extent not inconsistent with this Work Letter), and this Work Letter. The schedule for the construction of the Tenant Improvements (other than the TI by Landlord) shall be in accordance with a schedule to be prepared by Tenant’s general contractor (the “TI Schedule”). Tenant shall prepare the TI Schedule so that it is a reasonable schedule for the completion of the Tenant Improvements (other than the TI by Landlord), taking into account the work necessary for Landlord to achieve Substantial Completion by the date set forth in the GMP Contract. The TI Schedule shall clearly identify estimated dates and time periods when Tenant’s contractor will require access to areas that are under construction by Landlord. As soon as the TI Schedule is completed, Tenant shall deliver the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Such TI Schedule shall be approved or disapproved by Landlord, following consultation with Landlord’s General Contractor, within ten (10) business days after delivery to Landlord. Landlord’s failure to respond within such ten (10) business day period shall be deemed approval by Landlord. If Landlord disapproves the TI Schedule, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its objections to such TI Schedule, with reasonable detail, and the parties shall confer and negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the TI Schedule.
6.1. TI Plans. Tenant shall retain an architect reasonably approved by Landlord (the “TI Architect”) to design the tenant improvements necessary for Tenant’s particular use and occupancy of the Premises in accordance with the program attached as Schedule 5 and items identified as “by Tenant” on the allocation of responsibility attached as Schedule 2, including the TI by Landlord. Landlord acknowledges that it has approved the use of DGA as the TI Architect. Tenant shall cause the TI Architect to prepare, and Landlord shall approve, schematic plans, design development plans, and 100% construction document plans (the “TI Plans”), in each case fully coordinated with the Approved Core and Shell Plans, all in accordance with the milestone dates set forth on Schedule 4, subject to Force Majeure and Landlord Delays (as defined below). The TI Plans shall provide for a minimum investment equal to the TI Allowance across the entire Premises in accordance with the Approved Budget (as defined below). All material and equipment furnished by Tenant or its contractors as the Tenant Improvements shall be new or “like new;” and the quality of the Tenant Improvements shall be of a nature and character not less than a first-class standard for life sciences facilities. Any engineers used by Tenant or Tenant’s TI Architect in the design of the Tenant Improvements shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable consent, Landlord acknowledging that the engineers referenced in Section 4.2 above, are deemed approved. Even if any such architect or engineers may have been otherwise engaged by Landlord or Landlord’s affiliates in connection with the Landlord’s Construction Work or any other property, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the liabilities and expenses of all architectural and engineering services relating to the Tenant Improvements (subject to reimbursement from the TI Allowance as provided below) and for the adequacy and completeness of the TI Plans submitted to Landlord.
73

Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the TI Plans shall provide for the division of the Tenant Improvements into two phases, as shown and further described on Schedule 5, attached, the first phase of which is referred to herein as the “Day 1 Space” and the second phase of which is referred to herein as the “Day 2 Space” (each such phase, as applicable, being referred to herein as a “phase”. The LCW by Tenant shall in all events be included within the first phase, regardless of whether it is located in the Day 1 Space or the Day 2 Space.
“Landlord Delays” means any actual delay in the design of the Tenant Improvements for a phase to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of Landlord or any Landlord Party, including, without limitation, any Landlord-requested TI Change. Except for Landlord Delays due to any Landlord requested TI Change for which Tenant provided to Landlord the estimated amount of any associated Landlord Delay (for which no notice will be required, and no obligation of Tenant to grant such request other than as expressly provided herein), if there is an event that Tenant contends is a Landlord Delay, then Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such Tenant Delay as soon as is practicable following Tenant’s knowledge of such delay (“TI Delay Notice”) (provided, however, that no Landlord Delay shall be deemed to accrue under this Work Letter with respect to the Landlord Delay referenced in a TI Delay Notice until Tenant provides Landlord with such TI Delay Notice).
Any Landlord Delay of less than a full day shall be deemed to be equal to a delay of one (1) full day. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to determine the length of any Landlord Delay as follows: (i) any delays resulting from the failure of Landlord to act within a time period specified in this Work Letter with respect to the approval of the TI Plans shall be equal to one (1) day for each day that the applicable Landlord Delay continues beyond the applicable time period required for such action under the Lease, (ii) in the event of any agreed Landlord Delay, as the parties may agree in writing from time to time, the length of such Landlord Delay shall be as agreed upon in writing by the parties at the time such Landlord Delay arises, and (iii) with respect to any other Landlord Delay, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the claimed estimated length of such Landlord Delay within ten (10) business days after its occurrence and Landlord may elect by written notice delivered to the other within ten (10) business days thereafter to dispute the claimed estimated Landlord Delay in accordance with Section 13 of this Work Letter. Unless such estimate is disputed by written notice delivered within such ten (10) business day period, the length of such Landlord Delay shall be no less than the claimed estimated Landlord Delay.
74

6.2. Approved TI Plans. Tenant shall prepare TI Plans for each phase of the Tenant Improvements (inclusive of the TI by Landlord) that: (a) are consistent with and are logical evolutions of the previously approved iteration of the TI Plans, (b) incorporate any TI Permitted Changes, and (c) incorporate any other Landlord-requested (and Tenant approved) TI Changes. As soon as an applicable phase (i.e. schematic development, design development, and construction drawings) of TI Plans are completed, Tenant shall deliver the same to Landlord for Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed so long as such TI Plans are consistent with the previously approved TI Plans and do not cause Design Problems. Such TI Plans shall be approved or disapproved by Landlord within ten (10) business days after delivery to Landlord. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of disapproval within such ten (10) business day period, then Tenant may provide Landlord with a second written notice stating that “Landlord’s failure to respond within five (5) business days after Tenant’s second notice shall be deemed Landlord’s approval to such TI Plans,” and if Landlord does not respond within such five (5) business day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such TI Plans. If the TI Plans are disapproved by Landlord, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its objections to such TI Plans. Any dispute regarding Landlord’s disapproval of TI Plans shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13, below. After the 100% final construction document phase of TI Plans for a phase are approved by Landlord and Tenant, Tenant shall promptly submit such TI Plans to each appropriate governmental authority for approval. The TI Plans so approved, and all change orders and other changes thereto specifically permitted by this Work Letter, are referred to herein as the “Approved TI Plans”.
6.3. Changes to Tenant Improvements. Any changes to the TI Plans or the Approved TI Plans (each, a “TI Change”) requested by Landlord or Tenant (other than TI Permitted Changes by Landlord which do not require any approval) shall be requested and instituted in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3 and shall be subject to the written approval of the other party in accordance with this Work Letter.
(a) TI Changes Requested by Tenant.
(i) TI Tenant Change Order Request. Tenant may request TI Changes after Landlord approves the approved design development phase of the TI Plans or the Approved TI Plans, on a phase-by-phase basis, by notifying Landlord thereof in writing in a change order form provided by Landlord that is substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “TI Tenant Change Order Request”), which TI Tenant Change Order Request shall detail the nature and extent of any requested TI Changes, including, without limitation, (A) the TI Change and (B) any modification of the TI Plans or Approved TI Plans, as applicable.
(ii) Landlord’s Approval of TI Changes. All Tenant-requested TI Changes shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that (a) such changes are not Fundamental Changes, (b) such changes do not require any modification of the Permits and Approvals for the Landlord’s Construction Work, (c) such changes do not require any modification of the Landlord’s Construction Work, (d) the requested work is compatible with the design, quality, equipment or systems of the Landlord’s Construction Work, or (e) such changes otherwise comply with the provisions of the Lease. Landlord shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of a TI Tenant Change Order Request to notify Tenant in writing of Landlord’s decision either to approve or disapprove the Tenant- requested TI Change. If Landlord does not approve in writing a Tenant requested TI Change within ten (10) business days after receipt of a TI Tenant Change Order Request, Tenant may provide a written reminder notice to Landlord. Landlord’s failure to respond to such reminder notice within five (5) business days after delivery of such notice shall be deemed a rejection of such request by Landlord, and the Tenant Improvements shall not be altered as contemplated by such TI Tenant Change Order Request. Any dispute regarding the Landlord’s disapproval of a TI Tenant Change Order Request shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13, below.
75

(b) TI Changes Requested by Landlord.
(i) TI Landlord Change Order Request. Landlord may request TI Changes by notifying Tenant thereof in writing in a change order form provided by Landlord that is substantially the same form as the AIA standard change order form (a “TI Landlord Change Order Request”), which TI Landlord Change Order Request shall detail the nature and extent of any requested TI Changes, including, without limitation, (A) the TI Change, and (B) any modification of the TI Plans or the Approved TI Plans, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Tenant’s approval is not required for TI Permitted Changes, as defined below.
(ii) Tenant’s Approval of TI Change. Tenant shall have ten (10) days after receipt of a TI Landlord Change Order Request to notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s approval or rejection of the Landlord-requested TI Change, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, so long as such TI Landlord Change Order Request, as reasonably determined by Tenant, (A) could not reasonably be expected to (1) adversely impact the functionality or, in more than a de minimis manner, the appearance of the Tenant Improvements; (2) create a foreseeable risk of violating any, or actually violate any, Applicable Law or the Permits and Approvals (or require a modification of the same), or any other permit requirement, (3) materially increase insurance premiums; (4) result in a Fundamental Change, or (5) delay the completion of the Tenant Improvements in more than a de minimis manner (each, a “TI Design Problem”), and (B) following the final approval of the Approved TI Plans, will not cause the hard costs of the Tenant Improvements to increase by more than one (1%) percent in the aggregate (unless Landlord agrees to pay the same, in which case such amount shall be included in Construction Costs as a soft cost). If Tenant fails to respond within such ten (10) days period, then Landlord may provide Tenant with a second written notice stating “that Tenant’s failure to respond within three (3) days after Landlord’s second notice shall be deemed Tenant’s approval to such Landlord-requested TI Change,” and if Tenant does not respond within such three (3) day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such Landlord-requested TI Change.
(c) TI Permitted Changes. For purposes of this Work Letter, a “TI Permitted Change” shall mean (i) minor field changes; (ii) changes required by governmental authority or to comply with Applicable Laws; and (iii) changes that, when viewed in the aggregate, constitute Minor Alterations, as defined in the Lease. TI Permitted Changes may be made by Tenant in its sole but reasonable discretion. Tenant shall provide Landlord with reasonable prior notice of any TI Permitted Changes (other than minor field changes, of which Tenant shall provide notice as soon as reasonably practicable).
76

6.4. Construction of the Tenant Improvements and LCW by Tenant; Coordination.
(a) Tenant shall retain the Landlord’s General Contractor to construct the Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant and shall obtain Landlord’s prior written approval of the construction contract for the Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Following approval of the Approved TI Plans, Tenant shall obtain all governmental approvals, authorizations, licenses, and permits (collectively, the “Approvals”) necessary for the construction of the Tenant Improvements (other than the TI by Landlord) and the LCW by Tenant and provide copies of the same to Landlord. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the application for any material Approvals prior to submitting the same. The Approvals shall not contain material conditions that survive the termination of the Lease without the prior written consent of Landlord, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant to obtain the Approvals, at no out of pocket cost or liability to Landlord. Following receipt of the Approvals, Tenant shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Work Letter and Section 3.4 of the Lease.
All Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant shall be performed and constructed by Tenant in accordance with the Approved TI Plans and, with respect to the LCW by Tenant, the Approved Shell and Core Plans, and in compliance with Applicable Laws and the Approvals. No Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant shall be performed except in accordance with the Approved TI Plans or the Approved Shell and Core Plans, as applicable, as they may be modified in accordance with this Work Letter. Prior to the commencement of the Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of any contract with Tenant’s contractors (including the architect), and certificates of insurance from the architect and any contractor performing any part of the Tenant Improvements and, as applicable, the LCW by Tenant evidencing insurance in compliance with the terms of the Lease. Tenant shall endeavor to have Landlord named as a third-party beneficiary (on a non-exclusive basis) of any contract entered into by Tenant with the Tenant’s architect, any consultant providing design or engineering services for the Tenant Improvements, any contractor or any subcontractor, and of any warranty or indemnity made by any contractor or any subcontractor. Landlord shall not exercise its rights with respect to its third party beneficiary status under the immediately preceding sentence unless (i) Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, (ii) the Lease has otherwise terminated or otherwise is no longer in effect, or (iii) otherwise where Landlord has a bona fide, good faith claim against such architect, consultant, contractor, or subcontractor, in which case Landlord and Tenant will cooperate to pursue such claim. All Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, in compliance with Applicable Laws. All Tenant contracts related to the Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant shall provide that Tenant may assign such contracts and any warranties with respect to the Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant to Landlord, upon Landlord’s request, effective at the end of the Term or in the event of a Default by Tenant under the Lease. Tenant shall take, and shall require its contractors to take, commercially reasonable steps to protect the Premises from damage as a result of the performance of any Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant, including covering or temporarily removing any window coverings so as to guard against dust, debris or damage. Tenant shall conduct the Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant in a manner that reasonably minimizes interference with other construction activities at the Premises, in a manner consistent with first-class life sciences buildings.
77

Tenant shall diligently prosecute and substantially complete the Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant on or before the first anniversary of the Commencement Date with respect to the Day 1 Space and on or before the first day of the 18th month following the Commencement Date with respect to the Tenant Improvements for the Day 2 Space, subject to extension due to Landlord Delay or Force Majeure. For purposes of this paragraph, “substantially complete” and “substantial completion” shall mean that the Tenant Improvements and the LCW by Tenant have been completed, other than minor punchlist-type items the completion of which will not unreasonably delay or interfere use of the affected areas of the Premises for the regular conduct of business. Promptly following substantial completion of each phase and the LCW by Tenant, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a certificate of substantial completion by Tenant’s architect on a form reasonably approved by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the determination of substantial completion with respect to the TI by Landlord shall be made by Landlord’s architect.
If Tenant fails to complete the LCW by Tenant or Tenant Improvements for the second phase by the applicable date set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph, Landlord shall provide Tenant with thirty (30) days written notice of its intent to undertake the work necessary to complete the same (“Self-Help”). If Tenant fails to complete the LCW by Tenant or the Tenant Improvements for the second phase, as applicable, within such thirty (30) day period, then Landlord shall have the right to exercise Self-Help and, with respect to the Tenant Improvements, apply the balance of the TI Allowance against the Construction Costs reasonably and actually incurred by Landlord in connection with the same. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such reasonable costs actually incurred by Landlord (in excess of the TI Allowance, with respect to the Tenant Improvements) within 30 days following invoice together with reasonable evidence by Landlord, together with interest at the rate payable with respect to late payments of rent by Tenant, and if Tenant fails to timely pay such amounts then Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to draw on the Letter of Credit as further provided in Section 2.5 of the Lease. If Tenant has not yet prepared and finalized Approved TI Plans for such phase of Tenant Improvements in accordance with this Work Letter, then, in connection with the exercise of its rights under this paragraph, Landlord may complete the same in a manner reasonably consistent with the then-existing TI Plans for such phase as previously submitted to Landlord and otherwise in a manner consistent with first class office and lab space and meeting the Fundamental Requirements. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination or earlier expiration of the Lease. In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to apply unused TI Allowance amounts towards the cost of the LCW by Tenant in the exercise of its rights pursuant to this paragraph.
(b) Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate and proceed in good faith so as to coordinate the management, administration, and schedule of the Landlord’s Construction Work and the Tenant Improvements following the Delivery Date in a manner that will permit Landlord to achieve its obligations to lenders and Tenant, and permit Landlord to achieve Substantial Completion by the Estimated Substantial Completion Date, and permit Tenant to complete the Tenant Improvements in a reasonably expeditious manner and in a manner consistent with Tenant’s schedule for the Tenant Improvements. Such cooperation shall include coordinating the schedules of the General Contractor with respect to the TI by Landlord with Tenant’s general contractor’s schedule for the Tenant Improvements.
78

(c) Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the Construction Costs of the LCW by Tenant in the same manner applicable to Tenant Improvements funded by the TI Allowance, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Work Letter. The LCW by Tenant shall be performed under a lump sum or cost plus fee subject to a guaranteed maximum price change order to the construction contract for the Tenant Improvements and Tenant shall cause its general contractor to segregate the accounting of the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Landlord’s obligation to fund the LCW by Tenant exceed the amount for such work shown on Schedule 9, attached. Following the completion of the LCW by Tenant, Tenant shall provide Landlord with such information as is reasonably required for the final reconciliation of such costs such that the entire amount of the Construction Costs incurred by Landlord on account of the LCW by Tenant is included within the calculation of Base Rent (subject, however, to the limitation set forth above in this paragraph).
7. Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, labor disputes, acts of God, acts of war, terrorist acts, inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, services, labor, or materials or reasonable substitutes therefor (including without limitation supply chain delays), governmental actions, civil commotions, casualty, actual or threatened public health emergency (including, without limitation, epidemic, pandemic, famine, disease, plague, quarantine, and other significant public health risk, such as the epidemic known as COVID-19 and its variants), governmental edicts, actions, declarations or quarantines by a governmental entity or health organization (including, without limitation, any shelter-in-place orders, stay at home orders or any restrictions on travel related thereto that preclude Tenant, its agents, contractors or its employees from accessing the Project for the activities related to construction of the Improvements, national or regional emergency), breaches in cybersecurity, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform, regardless of whether such other causes are (i) foreseeable or unforeseeable or (ii) related to the specifically enumerated events in this paragraph (collectively, a “Force Majeure”), shall excuse the performance of such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage and, therefore, if this Work Letter specifies a time period for performance of an obligation of either party, that time period shall be extended by the period of any delay in such party’s performance caused by a Force Majeure. For purposes of this Section 5, the following shall be included as causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform: epidemic; pandemic; disease; illness; national, regional or local emergency; quarantine; and governmental order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Work Letter, neither the inability to obtain financing or investment, lack of funding, nor any micro- or macro-economic or other adverse financial events impacting a party’s business judgment, decisions, or priorities (e.g., by resulting in budgetary choices that cause delays) shall excuse a party’s performance of its obligations hereunder. Nothing in the prior sentence shall be deemed to obligate either party to incur unusual or excessive costs to avoid the occurrence of Force Majeure.
8. Insurance.
8.1. Property Insurance. At all times during the period beginning with commencement of construction of the Landlord’s Construction Work (excluding the LCW by Tenant) and ending when the Landlord’s Construction Work is Complete pursuant to Section 11 of this Work Letter, Landlord shall maintain or cause to be maintained (in addition to the insurance required pursuant to the Lease) property insurance insuring Landlord and its affiliates, agents and employees, as their interests may appear. Such policy shall, on a completed values basis for the full insurable value at all times, insure against loss or damage by fire, vandalism and malicious mischief and other such risks as are customarily covered by the so-called “broad form extended coverage endorsement” upon all Landlord’s Construction Work (other than the LCW by Tenant) and the TI by Landlord and the General Contractor’s and any subcontractors’ machinery, tools and equipment, all while each forms a part of, or is contained in, the Landlord’s Construction Work and TI by Landlord or any temporary structures on the Premises, or is adjacent thereto; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, insurance coverage with respect to the General Contractor’s and any subcontractors’ machinery, tools and equipment shall be carried on a primary basis by such General Contractor or subcontractor. Landlord agrees to pay any deductible, which deductible amount shall be considered a Construction Cost. Said property insurance shall contain an express waiver of any right of subrogation by the insurer against Tenant and its affiliates, agents and employees.
79

8.2. Workers’ Compensation Insurance. At all times during the period of construction of the Landlord’s Construction Work (other than the LCW by Tenant) and TI by Landlord, Landlord shall, and shall cause its contractors or subcontractors to, maintain statutory workers’ compensation insurance as required by Applicable Laws.
8.3 Tenant’s Insurance. At all times during the period of construction of the Tenant Improvements (other than the TI by Landlord) and the LCW by Tenant, Tenant shall, and shall its contractors and subcontractors to, maintain insurance as required pursuant to the Tenant Construction Manual referenced in the Lease.
9. Requests for Consent. Except as otherwise provided in this Work Letter, Tenant shall respond to all requests for consents, approvals, information, or directions made by Landlord pursuant to this Work Letter within five (5) days following Tenant’s receipt of such request. If Tenant fails to respond within such five (5) days period, then Landlord may provide Tenant with a second written notice stating, in bold and prominent print, that “Tenant’s failure to respond within two (2) days after Landlord’s second notice shall be deemed approval by Tenant,” and if Tenant does not respond within such two (2) day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved such item.
Except as otherwise provided in this Work Letter, Landlord shall respond to all requests for consents, approvals, information, or directions made by Tenant with respect to the LCW by Tenant pursuant to this Work Letter within five (5) days following Landlord’s receipt of such request. If Landlord fails to respond within such five (5) days period, then Tenant may provide Landlord with a second written notice stating, in bold and prominent print, that “Landlord’s failure to respond within two (2) days after Tenant’s second notice shall be deemed approval by Landlord,” and if Landlord does not respond within such two (2) day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved such item.
10. Budget and Tenant Improvement Allowance.
10.1. Budget. A preliminary budget for all hard and soft costs pertaining to the Landlord’s Construction Work is attached hereto as Schedule 6 to the Work Letter (as the same may be modified or otherwise updated in accordance with this Work Letter, the “Budget”). The Budget includes a line item for contingency. Landlord may reallocate line items within the Budget and use the contingency in its sole discretion at any time. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with updates to the Budget and shall revise the Budget to reflect the final GMP; provided at a minimum, following the final approval of the Approved Core and Shell Plans Landlord shall provide Tenant with a monthly updated Budget and a reconciliation of actual costs incurred through the prior month. In addition, Landlord will (or will request that the General Contractor) copy Ionis Chief Accounting Officer, Darren Gonzales (e-mail address: [***]) on all draw packages submitted to Landlord by the General Contractor related to the Landlord’s Construction Work. The Budget is for informational purposes only and is not binding on Landlord in any respect, and shall not create any limit on Aggregate Disbursements. The parties acknowledge that the LCW by Tenant is included within the Budget attached but shall not be included in subsequent updates to the Budget, as such work is being performed by Tenant.

10.2. Tenant Improvement Allowance; Funding of TI by Landlord. (a) Provided no monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default exists, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a Tenant Improvement allowance (“TI Allowance”) of $41,208,250.00, which TI Allowance shall automatically be reduced by the amount of $15 per gross square foot (based on the agreed-upon 164,757 gross square feet set forth in the Lease) for every whole 1% reduction in the ratio of lab to office below 40% as finally determined in the Approved TI Plans for the entire Tenant Improvements (inclusive of the Day 2 Space) by the Architect (or as affected by any subsequent TI Change), nothing in this sentence being deemed to modify the Fundamental Requirements, which require the lab-to-office ratio to be no less than 35% to 65%, taking into account all of the Tenant Improvements (inclusive of the Day 2 Space). The TI Allowance can be applied by Tenant to offset the cost to permit, design and construct the Tenant Improvements, inclusive of the TI by Landlord (provided that in no event shall the TI Allowance be applied towards design and other so-called “soft costs”, including without limitation consultant fees and the costs to acquire and install furniture, fixtures, and equipment) in an amount that exceeds 10% of the TI Allowance. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, in no event shall any of the TI Allowance be used for the acquisition of Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, or equipment or other items of personal property, such as cabling and wiring, or for the LCW by Tenant. In no event may the TI Allowance be used for payments to any affiliates of Tenant. Landlord shall have no obligation to make any disbursements of TI Allowance not properly requisitioned by Tenant by the date that is one year following the Commencement Date and Tenant shall have no further right to any undisbursed TI Allowance thereafter; provided that the portion of the TI Allowance not requisitioned by Tenant with respect to the Day 1 Space may be requisitioned by Tenant by the date that is 18 months following the Commencement Date, and, thereafter, Tenant shall have no further right to any undisbursed TI Allowance.
(i) The TI Allowance will be available for monthly disbursements for permitted soft costs from and after the Effective Date of the Lease and for permitted hard costs following the commencement of the Tenant Improvements subject to the requirements set forth in this Work Letter. Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Proportion (as defined below) of invoices made by Tenant on a form provided by Landlord within forty-five (45) days of receipt of a complete submission from Tenant (as set forth below), if Tenant requests and Landlord has received a satisfactory confirmation of non-responsibility on a form provided by Landlord, directly to the applicable vendor as requested by Tenant or to Tenant (to the extent Tenant has paid such requisitioned costs) on a progress payment basis. As a condition to Landlord’s disbursement of any portion of the TI Allowance, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (A) appropriate paid or unpaid receipts or invoices for the amount requested to be paid from the TI Allowance, (B) partial, conditional lien waivers for such work from all persons or entities that could file mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens against the Building or the Project with respect to all work performed or services or materials provided through the date of each such invoice (subject only to receipt of the requisitioned amount) and, as a condition to the final release of retainage, final unconditional lien waivers for final payments, as applicable, for any contracts greater than Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), which lien waivers shall comply with the appropriate provisions of California Civil Code, as reasonably determined by Landlord, (C) written authorization from Tenant to disburse the portion of the TI Allowance being requisitioned on a reasonable form provided by Landlord, (D) an application for payment from the Tenant’s general contractors as approved and executed by Tenant and Tenant’s architect, (E) evidence that amounts previously requisitioned by Tenant from the TI Allowance have been paid in full to the applicable third parties, and (F) such other documentation as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or its lender. Tenant may not make a requisition for application of the TI Allowance more frequently than once a month. The final disbursement of the TI Allowance shall be conditioned upon the recording of a Notice of Completion in a form reasonably approved by Landlord in the applicable county office.
81

“Landlord’s Proportion” shall be determined separately for each phase of the Tenant Improvements by a fraction, the numerator of which is the TI Allowance (attributed 55.77% to the Day 1 Space and 44.23% to the Day 2 Space) and the denominator of which is the sum of (1) the total contract price for the design and engineering of the applicable phase of the Tenant Improvements and (2) the total contract price for the construction of the Tenant Improvements for the applicable phase of the Tenant Improvements (in each case, as evidenced by reasonably detailed documentation delivered to Landlord upon Landlord’s request). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Work Letter, Landlord shall not have any obligation to expend any portion of the TI Allowance until Landlord has approved in writing the budget for the Tenant Improvements, including the TI by Landlord (the “Approved Budget”), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. The proposed Approved Budget shall be approved or disapproved by Landlord within ten (10) business days after delivery to Landlord. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of disapproval within such ten (10) business day period, then Tenant may provide Landlord with a second written notice stating that “Landlord’s failure to respond within five (5) business days after Tenant’s second notice shall be deemed Landlord’s approval to such Approved Budget,” and if Landlord does not respond within such five (5) business day period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have approved Tenant’s proposed Approved Budget. Prior to Landlord’s approval of the Approved Budget, Tenant shall pay all of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Tenant Improvements as they become due, subject to reimbursement from the TI Allowance following Landlord’s approval of the Approved Budget. The Approved Budget shall provide for approximately proportionate spending across the entire Premises on a per square foot basis (subject to customary and/or reasonable variations on a floor-by-floor basis for the applicable use mix on such floor, such as between office and laboratory space). Landlord shall not be obligated to reimburse Tenant for costs or expenses relating to the Tenant Improvements that exceed the amount of the TI Allowance. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to develop the budget for the TI by Landlord as part of Tenant’s budgeting process, the parties acknowledging that such work will be performed by the General Contractor.
(ii) In the event Landlord fails to fund any portion of the TI Allowance when properly due hereunder within the aforementioned forty-five (45) day period, Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord and its lender stating that “Failure to fund the amount set forth in this request within 30 days may result in Tenant offset rights”. If Landlord fails to remit such payment within an additional thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, Tenant shall have the right to offset such amounts against the next installments of Monthly Rent that become due and owing, which unpaid amounts shall bear interest at the Interest Rate accruing from the date the same were due and payable through the date paid in. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such offset shall arise or accrue if Landlord disputes the Tenant’s claim to an offset within ten (10) business days following Tenant’s notice of the same. Any such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13, below.
82

(b) To the extent the cost of any TI by Landlord exceeds the TI Allowance, Tenant shall pay the same as Additional Rent within 30 days after invoice by Landlord as such work progresses, together with reasonable backup evidencing the same. Following the completion of the TI by Landlord, Landlord shall provide Tenant with such information as is reasonably required for the final reconciliation of such costs such that the entire amount of the Construction Costs incurred by Landlord on account of the TI by Landlord is included within the calculation of Base Rent (subject, however, to the limitations set forth in this Work Letter with respect to the TI Allowance).Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Tenant’s obligation to fund the TI by Landlord pursuant this subparagraph (b) apply to the extent that such costs exceed the amount for such work shown on Schedule 9 unless and except to the extent such excess costs result from a TI Tenant Change Order Request or Tenant-requested Shell and Core Change.
11. Completion of Improvements. The Landlord’s Construction Work shall be deemed “Complete” at such time as (a) Substantial Completion has occurred, (b) Landlord shall have provided Tenant with evidence that (i) the Landlord’s Construction Work has been completed and paid for in full (which shall be evidenced by the Architect’s certificate of completion), other than as provided in clause (ii), below, and (ii) the Punchlist Items (including any deficiencies noted in a third-party commissioning report for the Landlord’s Construction Work, to the extent the same is included within the scope of the GMP Contract) have been completed and paid for in full, other than seasonal work such as landscaping. Following Completion, Landlord shall provide Tenant with electronic CADD files of the Landlord’s Construction Work. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Work Letter or the Lease, neither the LCW by Tenant nor the TI by Landlord is included for purposes of the determination of when the Landlord’s Construction Work is Complete. Following the completion of the Landlord’s Construction Work required for the Delivery Date to occur, Landlord shall continue to diligently prosecute the TI by Landlord in coordination with the completion of the Tenant Improvements by Tenant. If Landlord fails to substantially complete the TI by Landlord by the date (the “TI Completion Date”) that Tenant substantially completes all of its Tenant Improvements and occupies the Premises for the conduct of its business, subject to extension for Tenant Delay and Force Majeure, then Tenant shall be entitled to a day-for-day abatement of Base Rent in the affected areas of the Premises from and after the TI Completion Date until the date that the TI by Landlord is substantially complete.
83

12. Tenant Delays.
(a) “Tenant Delay” means any actual delay in the Landlord’s Construction Work or the TI by Landlord to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of Tenant or any Tenant Party (rather than from Force Majeure or other delays that may have occurred due to Landlord’s General Contractor, including delays caused by the Landlord’s General Contractor’s prosecution of the TI by Landlord, for example), including, without limitation, due to any accommodation of a Tenant initiated request (e.g., a Tenant requested change to the Schedule), any Tenant requested Shell and Core Change, the scope and design of the TI by Landlord (or any changes by Tenant to the same) as it impacts the permitting and Schedule for the Landlord’s Construction Work or the TI by Landlord, interference with the Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work (including without limitation on account of Tenant’s early access pursuant to Section 3.4, above) or the substantial completion of the TI by Landlord, or failure of Tenant to provide its specifications for the Building Management System by the date required on Schedule 3. Except for Tenant Delays due to accommodation of a Tenant initiated request or any Tenant requested Shell and Core Change or change to the TI by Landlord for which Landlord provided to Tenant the estimated amount of any associated Tenant Delay (for which no notice will be required, and no obligation of Landlord to grant such request other than as expressly provided herein) or delays resulting from Tenant’s failure to respond to act within the periods set forth in this Work Letter, if there is an event that Landlord contends is a Tenant Delay, then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such Tenant Delay as soon as is practicable following Landlord’s knowledge of such delay (“LW Delay Notice”) (provided, however, that no Tenant Delay shall be deemed to accrue under this Work Letter with respect to the Tenant Delay referenced in a LW Delay Notice until Landlord provides Tenant with such LW Delay Notice).
(b) Any Tenant Delay of less than a full day shall be deemed to be equal to a delay of one (1) full day. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to determine the length of any Tenant Delay as follows: (i) any delays resulting from the failure of Tenant to act within a time period specified in this Work Letter shall be equal to one (1) day for each day that the applicable Tenant Delay continues beyond the applicable time period required for such action under the Lease, (ii) in the event of any agreed Tenant Delay, as the parties may agree in writing from time to time, the length of such Tenant Delay shall be as agreed upon in writing by the parties at the time such Tenant Delay arises, and (iii) with respect to any other Tenant Delay, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the claimed estimated length of such Tenant Delay within ten (10) business days after its occurrence and Tenant may elect by written notice delivered to the other within ten (10) business days thereafter to dispute the claimed estimated Tenant Delay in accordance with Section 13 of this Work Letter. Unless such estimate is disputed by written notice delivered within such ten (10) business day period, the length of such Tenant Delay shall be no less than the claimed estimated Tenant Delay.
(c) If the Landlord’s Construction Work is delayed by Tenant Delay, then the date on which the Landlord’s Construction Work would have achieved Delivery Condition or been Substantially Complete but for such Tenant Delay (i.e., without regard for Force Majeure or other delays that may have occurred but do not constitute Tenant Delays), as evidenced by written notice from Landlord to Tenant, shall be deemed to be the Delivery Date or the date of Substantially Completion, as applicable, unless such notice disputed in a written notice by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) business days after delivery of such determination, in which case such dispute will be determined by arbitration pursuant to 13, below.
13. Dispute Resolution Process.
13.1. All disputes between Landlord and Tenant regarding Tenant Delays and other matters expressly referencing this Section 13 shall be resolved in accordance with this Section 13. Any arbitration decision under this Section 13 shall be enforceable in accordance with Applicable Laws in any court of proper jurisdiction.
84

(a) Any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section 13 shall be conducted in as expeditious manner as possible to avoid delays in the construction of Landlord’s Construction Work and Tenant Improvements.
(b) Any and all claims or disputes to be resolved pursuant to this Section 13 shall be resolved as follows: Landlord and Tenant shall promptly meet and confer to attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute and, if such dispute is not fully resolved within fifteen (15) days after delivery of written notice of such dispute, the parties agree that the claims or disputes shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules (or any successor organization), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Further, Landlord and Tenant agree to direct the San Diego Regional Office of the AAA to appoint a single arbitrator who (i) shall have a minimum of fifteen (15) years of experience in construction disputes involving first class office and laboratory buildings in the appliable market, (ii) has not worked for either party for the prior five (5) years, (iii) is not be affiliated with either Landlord or Tenant, and (iv) has not worked for either party or its affiliates at any time during the prior five (5) years (a “Qualified Construction Arbitrator”).
13. 2 Both Landlord and Tenant shall have the opportunity to present evidence and outside consultants to the appointed arbitrator. The arbitrator shall decide the dispute by written decision. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the expedited procedures of the AAA’s Construction Industry Arbitration Rules insofar as such rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Lease (in which case the provisions of the Lease shall govern) and shall be concluded, with a decision issued, no later than ten (10) business days after the date that such dispute is submitted to the appointed arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties shall comply with any orders of the arbitrator establishing deadlines for any such proceeding. The fee of the arbitrator shall be paid equally by the parties, and each party shall pay all other costs incurred by it in connection with the arbitration.
14. Miscellaneous.
14.1. Number; Headings. Where applicable in this Work Letter, the singular includes the plural and the masculine or neuter includes the masculine, feminine and neuter. The section headings of this Work Letter are not a part of this Work Letter and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

This SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (hereafter referred to as “Agreement”) made as of ________, 2022, by and between _____________, having an address at ______________, as administrative agent (with its successors or assigns, “Agent”) for itself and certain lenders now or hereafter party to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the “Lenders”), ______________, a ____________________, having an address of __________________ (“Tenant”) and ___________________, a __________________, having an address at _____________________________ (“Landlord”).
The Lenders have made a loan to Landlord in the maximum principal amount of $___________________ in accordance with the terms of that certain [Loan Agreement] dated as of _________, 2022 (the “Loan”), by and among Landlord, Agent and Lenders (as the same may hereafter be amended, reinstated, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”),
Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, is the holder of a certain [Deed of Trust, Security Agreement, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Fixture Filing] (as the same may be amended, extended, supplemented or otherwise modified or restated from time to time, the “Security Instrument”) granted by Landlord to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and recorded in the official records of San Diego County, California, which constitutes a first lien against the real property described on Schedule A attached hereto and the improvements thereon or to be constructed thereon (the “Property”).
Tenant has entered into a lease with Landlord dated as of _______, 2022 (the “Lease”) covering all of the Property (the “Premises”). All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease.
For mutual consideration, including relying on the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Agent, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
105

1. Subordination of Lease. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lease and all of Tenant’s right, title, and interest in and to the Property thereunder (including, but not limited to, any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase, or right of first offer to purchase the Property or any portion thereof) is and shall be subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and to all present and future advances under the obligations secured thereby and all renewals, amendments, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, to the full extent of the principal amount and other sums secured thereby and interest thereon, so that at all times the Security Instrument shall be and remain a lien on the Property prior to and superior to the Lease for all purposes, subject to the provisions set forth in this Agreement. Such subordination shall have the same force and effect as if the Security Instrument and such renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of the Security Instrument had been executed, acknowledged, delivered and recorded prior to the Lease, all amendments or modifications of the Lease, and any notice of the Lease.
2. Attornment. Tenant will attorn to and recognize: (i) Agent (including for this purpose any transferee or nominee of Agent), whether as mortgagee in possession or otherwise; or (ii) any purchaser at a foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument; or (iii) any transferee that acquires possession of or title to the Property (whether by acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise); or (iv) any successors and assigns of such purchasers and/or transferees (each of the foregoing persons or entities described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, a “Successor”), as its landlord for the unexpired balance (and any extensions, if exercised) of the term of the Lease upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease (as affected by this Agreement), and Tenant shall pay and perform in favor of Successor all of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease as if Successor were the original lessor under the Lease. Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative without the execution of any further instruments by any party hereto; provided, however, that Tenant will, upon request by Agent or any Successor, execute a reasonable written agreement attorning to Agent or such Successor, which agreement shall, in any event, be subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
3. Non-Disturbance. So long as the Lease is in effect and Tenant complies with Tenant’s obligations under this Agreement and is not in default (beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period) under the Lease, Agent and any Successor (i) will recognize the Lease and Tenant’s rights and options under the Lease as the tenant of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease (as affected by this Agreement), including any extension options, if exercised, and (ii) will not disturb Tenant’s use, possession and quiet enjoyment of the Premises, nor will Tenant’s rights under this Lease be impaired (except as provided in this Agreement), and (iii) shall not name or join Tenant as a defendant in any foreclosure action, sale under a power of sale or transfer in lieu of the foregoing (collectively, a “Foreclosure”) unless a joinder is required by law to perfect a Foreclosure or other remedy, but then only for such purpose and not for the purpose of terminating the Lease.
106

4. Assignment of Leases. Tenant acknowledges that it has been advised that Landlord has assigned the Lease and the rents thereunder to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, pursuant to the Security Instrument. Tenant acknowledges that the interest of the Landlord under the Lease is to be assigned to Agent solely as security for the purposes specified in the Security Instrument, and, on account of the Security Instrument, Agent shall have no duty, liability or obligation whatsoever under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, either by virtue of the Security Instrument or by any subsequent receipt or collection of rents thereunder, unless Agent shall specifically undertake such liability in writing. The foregoing agreement by Tenant shall not adversely affect any rights of Tenant under the Lease with respect to the Landlord in the event of nonperformance by Landlord, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Tenant agrees that if Agent, pursuant to the Security Instrument, and whether or not it becomes a mortgagee in possession, shall give written notice to Tenant that Agent has elected to require Tenant to pay to Agent the rent and other charges payable by Tenant under the Lease, Tenant shall (without any duty to inquire as to the enforceability or validity of Agent’s notice) until Agent shall have canceled such election in writing, thereafter pay to Agent all rent and other sums payable under the Lease and such payments to Agent shall be treated as payments made under the Lease. Any such payment shall be made notwithstanding any right of setoff, defense or counterclaim which Tenant may have against Landlord, or any right to terminate the Lease. Landlord authorizes and directs Tenant to immediately and continuously make all such payments at the direction of Agent, releases Tenant of any and all liability to Landlord for any and all payments so made, and agrees that payments actually made by Tenant to Agent shall be credited towards the amounts due under the Lease.
5. Limitation of Liability. In the event that Agent (including for this purpose any transferee or nominee of Agent) or any other Successor succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, or title to the Property, then none of Agent, any Lender or any Successor shall be: (i) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or omission, neglect or default on the part of any prior landlord under the Lease; provided, that, nothing in this clause being deemed to relieve Agent or any Successor of an ongoing default on the part of Landlord with respect to repair and maintenance of the Premises that first arose prior to such succession, provided that Tenant notified Agent of such default in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement and Agent failed to cure same and Agent or any Successor shall have the obligation to cure such ongoing repair and maintenance defaults on the part of Landlord that continue from and after Successor succeeds to the rights of Landlord under the Lease, regardless of when such default or obligation from arose, provided that Tenant notified Agent of such default in accordance with Section 7 of this Agreement and Agent failed to cure same; (ii) responsible for any monies (including security deposits) owing by or on deposit with (or any letter of credit on deposit with) Landlord to the credit of Tenant (except to the extent any such deposit or letter of credit is actually received by Agent or such Successor, as applicable); (iii) subject to any defense, counterclaim or setoff which theretofore accrued to Tenant against any prior landlord; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Tenant’s right to exercise against Agent or such Successor any offset right otherwise available to Tenant because of events occurring after the date of succession and attornment; (iv) bound by any termination, amendment or modification, or assignment/subletting of the Lease after the date hereof (unless Agent expressly approved in writing such termination, amendment or modification, or assignment or subletting or the same does not require the Agent’s approval pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement) of the Lease (provided that, (A) as it relates to any assignments/subletting of Lease undertaken in connection with the terms and provisions set forth in the Lease, Agent shall have the same approval rights as the Landlord has with respect to same and (B) no such approval shall be required with respect to amendments solely evidencing the exercise of Tenant’s option to extend the Lease and assignments or sublets that do not require the consent of the Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease); (v) bound by any previous prepayment of rent for more than one (1) month of the date due, which was not approved in writing by Agent ;(vi) required after a fire, casualty or condemnation of the Property or Premises to repair or rebuild the same to the extent that such repair or rebuilding requires funds in excess of the insurance or condemnation proceeds specifically allocable to the Premises and arising out of such fire, casualty or condemnation which have actually been received by Agent, and then only to the extent required by the terms of the Lease (Agent acknowledging that the exercise by Tenant of its remedies pursuant to Article 9 of the Lease are unaffected by the provisions of this clause (vi)), (vii) be liable for or incur any obligation with respect to any representations or warranties made by Landlord under the Lease; (viii) liable beyond Agent’s, such Lender’s, or such Successor’s, as applicable, interest in the Property and in the rents, proceeds and profits therefrom; or (ix) except as expressly provided below, responsible for any obligation of Landlord to undertake or complete any work or fund any allowance for tenant improvements.
107

Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement (except as set forth in the immediately following paragraph) or the Lease, no Agent, Lender or Successor shall have any obligation to undertake or complete any of the Landlord’s Construction Work (as defined in the Lease) or advance the TI Allowance (as defined in the Lease) after it succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease or title to the Property (collectively, the “Landlord Work Obligations”).
[Only applicable prior to the occurrence of Substantial Completion under the Lease:] Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Landlord Work Obligations have not been fulfilled in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease, then Agent or Successor (as applicable) shall have thirty (30) days from the earlier of the date on which either of the following occur (the “Succession Date”): (i) Agent or any Successor (as applicable) provides written notice to the Tenant that Agent or Successor (as applicable) has succeeded to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, or (ii) Agent or Successor (as applicable) has taken title to the Property, to send written notice (the “Intention Notice”) to Tenant stating whether or not Agent or such Successor intends to fulfill the remaining Landlord Work Obligations under the Lease (which may include fulfillment of the obligation to complete the Landlord’s Construction Work without fulfilling the obligation to fund the TI Allowance or vice versa). If and to the extent in such Intention Notice Agent or such Successor (as applicable) states that Agent or such Successor intends to be so bound, then such provisions of the Lease shall be binding on the Agent or such Successor (as applicable). If in such Intention Notice Agent or Successor (as applicable) states in writing that it does not intend to be so bound with respect to the Landlord’s Construction Work or fails to timely provide such Intention Notice to Tenant within such thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have the right, by giving a notice to the Agent or such Successor (as applicable) (the “Succession Election Notice”) within sixty (60) days following the Intention Notice, or if no Intention Notice has been delivered, within sixty (60) days of the Succession Date, to, subject to compliance with the Tenant Completion Conditions (as defined below), complete the Landlord’s Construction Work at its expense in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease (in which case Base Rent shall be determined based on amounts previously expended by Landlord for Construction Costs plus any TI Allowance funded by Agent or such Successor, and otherwise in accordance with the Lease), and if Agent or Successor (as applicable) agreed to complete the Landlord’s Construction Work but declined to fund any remaining TI Allowance, exercise its right pursuant to the Lease to deduct the remaining amount of TI Allowance when due from Base Rent in accordance therewith to the extent the same has been included in the calculation of Base Rent under the Lease, until the full amount of TI Allowance included within the Base Rent is recouped by Tenant (but without the necessity of giving any additional notices to Landlord); and further provided, however, that the Agent or Successor (as applicable) can render any Succession Election Notice null and void and of no force and effect if, within thirty (30) days after the giving of such Succession Election Notice, the Agent or Successor (as applicable) agrees to be bound by the applicable provisions of the Lease. Tenant’s failure to give a Succession Election Notice in the time period required above shall be deemed to be an election pursuant to the [clause (X)]1 of the immediately preceding sentence. To the extent the Tenant delivers the Succession Election Notice, Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Agent or Successor (as applicable) is released (except to the extent set forth in the Intention Notice and as otherwise expressly set forth in this paragraph) from any and all obligations under the Lease with respect to the Landlord’s Construction Work and the payment of the TI Allowance.
108

As used herein, the “Tenant Completion Conditions” shall mean, provided that the Lender or Successor (as applicable) has not rendered any Succession Election Notice null and void and of no force and effect, compliance with the following conditions:
(a) Within thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Succession Election Notice, if Landlord has not completed all of the Landlord Work Obligations, then Tenant shall provide reasonable evidence to Lender that Tenant has sufficient cash and other liquid assets to fulfill the Landlord Work Obligations (“Tenant Funds”);
(b) Tenant shall have entered into a contract with a person or entity (“Replacement Manager”), which Replacement Manager shall be acceptable to the Lender or Successor (as applicable) as determined in Lender’s or Successor’s (as applicable) reasonable discretion, that is qualified and experienced in the development of properties and construction of improvements which are of similar type and nature to the improvements contemplated to have been constructed by Landlord pursuant to the Approved Shell and Core Plans (as defined in the Lease);
(c) Tenant shall provide Lender or Successor (as applicable) each month through the completion of the Landlord Work Obligations, with the following: (i) the opportunity for Lender to hold an inspection by Lender’s or Successor’s (as applicable) construction consultant, confirming the work as to which each contractor seeks payment is in compliance with the Approved Shell and Core Plans, (ii) a copy of contractor’s application for payment to Tenant and signed by Tenant’s architect on AIA Forms G702 and G703/G703A or other forms acceptable to Lender or Successor (as applicable) and confirmed by Lender’s or Successor’s (as applicable) inspector, (iii) if requested by Lender or Successor (as applicable), paid invoices or receipts and unconditional statutory lien waivers for all construction work and costs included in the previous request for advance, (iv) if requested by Lender or Successor (as applicable), evidence that any inspection required by any governmental authority has been completed with results satisfactory to that governmental authority, (v) such certifications of job progress by Tenant’s architect, in form satisfactory to Lender or Successor (as applicable), as Lender or Successor (as applicable) may request, and (vi) such other conditions as are contained within the Loan Agreement and customary in the administration of a construction loan of a size and type as the one evidenced by the Loan Agreement;
109

(d) Tenant shall complete Landlord Work Obligations by [NTD: will be the completion date established under the core/shell contract:] _________, subject to extensions for Force Majeure;
If Tenant fails to comply with any Tenant Completion Condition, Lender or Successor (as applicable) shall provide Tenant with written notice of Tenant’s failure to comply therewith and if Tenant fails to cure such non-compliance within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice thereof (or such reasonable additional time if the cure cannot reasonably be completed within such 30-day period and Tenant has commenced to cure such non-compliance within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure), the Lender shall be entitled to either (i) terminate the Lease, without any liability to the Tenant whatsoever, including, without limitation, under the Lease or under this Agreement, or (ii) fulfill the Landlord Work Obligations.
Tenant agrees that any person or entity which at any time hereafter becomes the landlord under the Lease, including without limitation, Agent or any Successor (as applicable), shall be liable only for the performance of the obligations of the landlord under the Lease that arise during the period of Agent’s or such Successor’s ownership of the Premises. Tenant further agrees that any liability of Agent or any Successor under the Lease shall be limited to the interest of Agent or such Successor in the Property and in the rents, proceeds and profits therefrom.
6. Purchase Rights. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that pursuant to the Lease, Tenant holds a right of first offer to purchase the property pursuant to Article 11 of the Lease (the “Purchase Rights”). The parties hereto agree that the Purchase Rights shall remain valid and in full force and effect, but subject and subordinate to the lien(s) of the Security Instrument. In the event that Agent or a Successor succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, such Purchase Rights shall not be extinguished by a Foreclosure; provided, however, that Agent or Successor shall not be bound to the Purchase Rights, and such Purchase Rights shall not apply, with respect to (i) a Foreclosure, including, without limitation, the granting of, foreclosure under, or giving of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure under, a mortgage or the granting or exercise of any pledge of ownership interests, or (ii) the first subsequent sale of the Property following Agent’s or Successor’s acquisition of title to the Property, but thereafter any successor landlord to Agent or such Successor shall be bound by such Purchase Rights in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
110

7. Right to Cure Defaults. Tenant agrees to give to Agent, either by certified U.S. mail (return receipt requested) or overnight courier service (i.e., FedEx), a duplicate of each notice of any default by Landlord under the Lease at the time Tenant gives such notice to Landlord, specifying the nature of such default, and thereupon Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such default, and Tenant shall not exercise its remedies under the Lease unless the Tenant first gives such notice to Agent and provides Agent with notice of such default, and an opportunity to cure the same within a period of time that shall be not less than the period of thirty (30) days beyond any period afforded to the Landlord to cure the default under the provisions of the Lease, and a reasonable period of time in addition thereto (i) if the circumstances are such that said default cannot reasonably be cured within such period and Agent has commenced and is diligently pursuing such cure, plus (ii) a reasonable period (not to exceed 270 days unless the cure cannot be effected without Agent taking possession of the Property) during any litigation or enforcement action or proceeding, including a foreclosure, bankruptcy, reorganization, possessory action or a combination thereof provided that Agent or any Successor provides Tenant with written notice of its intent to cure such default and then proceeds diligently to cure Landlord’s default upon acquiring possession of the Premises. It is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not exercise its remedies under the Lease against Agent or any Successor for failure to cure any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization default on the part of Landlord, any breach by Landlord of any representation or warranty, or any other breach or default under the Lease that is personal to Landlord or otherwise not reasonably susceptible of cure by Agent or such Successor. Tenant shall accept performance by Agent of any term, covenant, condition or agreement to be performed by Landlord under the Lease with the same force and effect as though performed by Landlord. Without limitation on the foregoing, if the Lease is terminated for any reason other than (a) a termination which is effected unilaterally by Tenant in accordance with the express terms of the Lease, (b) the expiration of the term of the Lease, or (c) a termination that occurs in compliance with this Agreement, then upon Agent’s written request given within thirty (30) days after Agent receives written notice of such termination, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after such request, execute and deliver to Agent a new lease of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease, such new lease to be upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease applicable to the remainder of the term of the Lease (as affected by this Agreement).
8. Tenant’s Agreements. Tenant hereby represents, warrants, covenants and agrees that: (i) Tenant shall not pay any rent under the Lease more than one month in advance of the date due except as expressly required in the Lease with respect to security deposits, operating expenses, taxes and the like; (ii) Tenant shall have no right to appear in any Foreclosure action under the Security Instrument (unless named by Agent in such action, Agent agreeing however not to name Tenant unless required pursuant to applicable laws, and then only for such purposes); (iii) Tenant shall not amend or modify, or assign or sublet, the Lease and Tenant shall have no right to cancel or terminate the Lease, without Agent’s prior written consent (provided that, (x) as it relates to any assignments/subletting of Lease undertaken in connection with the terms and provisions set forth in the Lease, Agent shall have the same approval rights as the Landlord has with respect to same and (y) no such approval shall be required with respect to amendments solely evidencing the exercise of Tenant’s option to extend the Lease and assignments or sublets that do not require the consent of the Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease), and any attempted amendment or modification, assignment or subletting, cancellation or termination of the Lease in violation of the foregoing shall be of no force or effect as to Agent; (iv) Tenant shall not subordinate the Lease to any lien or encumbrance (other than the Security Instrument) without Agent’s prior written consent; (v) except as expressly set forth in Section 6, above, Tenant has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Property, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and to the extent that Tenant hereafter acquires any such additional rights or options, the same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and is hereby waived and released as against Agent and any Successor, (vi) Tenant shall promptly, to the same extent and within the same time period required by the Lease, deliver to Agent, from time to time, a written estoppel statement in the form, and with the certifications, required by the Lease; (vii) this Agreement supersedes and satisfies any requirement in the Lease relating to the granting of a non-disturbance agreement or providing for subordination of the Lease; (viii) Tenant is the sole owner of the leasehold estate created by the Lease; (ix) the interest of Landlord under the Lease is assigned to Agent solely as security for the obligations secured by the Security Instrument, and neither Agent nor the Lenders shall have any duty, liability or obligation under the Lease or any extension or renewal thereof, unless Agent either (a) specifically undertakes such liability in writing, or (b) subject to the express terms of this Agreement, Agent becomes a Successor; (x) if this Agreement conflicts with the Lease, then this Agreement shall govern as between the parties and any Successor, including upon any attornment pursuant to this Agreement; and (xi) upon Agent’s transfer or assignment of Agent’s interests in the Loan, the Lease (or any new lease executed pursuant to this Agreement), or the Property, Agent shall be deemed released and relieved of any obligations under this Agreement, the Lease (or any new lease executed pursuant to this Agreement), and with respect to the Property.
111

Each of Landlord, Agent, and Tenant warrants and represents to the other parties hereto that it has duly executed and delivered this Agreement and that the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement (i) are within its powers, (ii) have been duly authorized by all requisite action, and (iii) do not violate any provision of law or any order of any court or agency of government, or any agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound.
