b.         Tenant shall have until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Amendment Effective Date (the “Improvement Allowance Deadline”) to expend the unused portion of the Improvement Allowance, after which date Landlord’s obligation to fund such costs shall expire. In no event shall any unused Improvement Allowance entitle Tenant to a credit against Rent payable under the Lease.

c.         Upon submission by Tenant to Landlord of (i) a statement (a “Fund Request”) setting forth the total amount of the Improvement Allowance requested, (ii) a summary of the Improvement Work performed using AIA standard form Application for Payment (G 702) executed by the general contractor and by the architect (if applicable), (iii) invoices from the general contractor, the architect (if applicable), and any subcontractors, material suppliers and other parties requesting payment with respect to the amount of the Improvement Allowance then being requested, (iv) unconditional lien releases from the general contractor, the architect (if applicable) and each subcontractor and material supplier with respect to previous payments made by either Landlord or Tenant for the Improvement Work in a form

Notwithstanding anything in this Section to the contrary, Tenant shall not submit a Fund Request for the Improvement Work more often than every thirty (30) days. Any additional Fund Requests submitted by Tenant shall be void and of no force or effect.

d.         The general contractor, architect (if any) and subcontractors responsible for the construction of the Improvement Work shall be selected by Tenant and approved by Landlord, which approval Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. Landlord may refuse to use any general contractor, architect (if any), subcontractors or material suppliers that Landlord reasonably believes could cause labor disharmony or may not have sufficient experience, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, to perform work in an occupied Class “A” laboratory research building and in tenant-occupied lab areas.  All Tenant contracts related to the Improvement Work shall provide that Tenant may assign such contracts and any warranties with respect to the Improvement Work to Landlord at any time.

e.         Tenant, at its sole cost and expense (except for the Improvement Allowance) shall perform the Improvement Work in compliance with Applicable Laws, the requirements of Tenant’s insurance carriers, the requirements of Landlord’s insurance carriers (to the extent Landlord provides its insurance carriers’ requirements to Tenant) and the board of fire underwriters having jurisdiction over the Premises.

Tenant represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in the negotiation for or the obtaining of this Amendment, other than Jones Lang LaSalle (“Broker”), and agrees to reimburse, indemnify, save, defend (at Landlord’s option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnitees for, from and against any and all cost or liability for compensation claimed by any such broker or agent, other than Broker, employed or engaged by it or claiming  to have been employed or engaged by it. Broker is entitled to a leasing commission in connection with the making of this Amendment, and Landlord shall pay such commission to Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Landlord and Broker, provided that all conditions precedent to the payment of such commission set forth in such separate agreement shall have been satisfied.

12.       No Default. Tenant represents, warrants and covenants that, to the best of  Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord  and  Tenant  are  not  in  default  of  any  of  their respective

obligations under the Existing Lease and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would constitute a default by either Landlord or Tenant thereunder.

13.       Notices. Tenant confirms that, notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, notices delivered to Tenant pursuant to the Lease should be sent to:

14.       Effect of Amendment. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Existing  Lease and all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and affirmed.

The captions of the paragraphs and subparagraphs in this Amendment are inserted and included solely for convenience and shall not be considered or given any effect in construing the provisions hereof. All exhibits hereto are incorporated herein by reference. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for a lease, and shall not be effective as a lease, lease amendment or otherwise until execution by and delivery to both Landlord and Tenant.

17.       Authority. Tenant guarantees, warrants and represents that the individual or individuals signing this Amendment have the power, authority and legal capacity to sign this Amendment on behalf of and to bind all entities, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, joint venturers or other organizations and entities on whose behalf such individual or individuals have signed.

18.       Counterparts; Facsimile and PDF Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the

same document. A facsimile or portable document format (PDF) signature on this Amendment shall be equivalent to, and have the same force and effect as, an original signature.
