Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law empowers a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers and to purchase insurance with respect to liability arising out of their capacity or status as directors and officers, provided that the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s actions were unlawful. The Delaware General Corporation Law further provides that the indemnification permitted thereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the directors and officers may be entitled under the corporation’s bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or otherwise. The certificate of incorporation of the registrant to be in effect upon the completion of this offering provides for the indemnification of the registrant’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law. In addition, the bylaws of the registrant to be in effect upon the completion of this offering require the registrant to fully indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, or officer of the registrant, or is or was a director or officer of the registrant serving at the registrant’s request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper

 

II-1


personal benefit. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation to be in effect upon the completion of this offering provides that the registrant’s directors shall not be personally liable to it or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director and that if the Delaware General Corporation Law is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of the registrant’s directors shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as so amended.

Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that a director who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved, or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

As permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, the registrant has entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of the registrant’s directors and certain of the registrant’s officers which require the registrant, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities which may arise by reason of their status as directors, officers or certain other employees.

The registrant expects to obtain and maintain insurance policies under which its directors and officers are insured, within the limits and subject to the limitations of those policies, against certain expenses in connection with the defense of, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of, actions, suits or proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers. The coverage provided by these policies may apply whether or not the registrant would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

These indemnification provisions and the indemnification agreements entered into between the registrant and the registrant’s officers and directors may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities (including reimbursement of expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The underwriting agreement between the registrant and the underwriters to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement provides for the indemnification by the underwriters of the registrant’s directors and officers and certain controlling persons against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act with respect to information provided by the underwriters specifically for inclusion in the registration statement.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned hereby undertakes that:

(1)        For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2)        For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

4.1 In consideration of rights granted by FHCRC to LICENSEE under this AGREEMENT, LICENSEE agrees to pay FHCRC the following:

 

  (a) [***] paid by FHCRC [***] (such amount estimated to be approximately [***] through [***]) and [***] in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining PATENT RIGHTS for United States and foreign national filings. FHCRC will invoice LICENSEE within [***] of the EQUITY FINANCING for [***], and invoice [***] on a [***] basis. The invoiced amounts will be due and payable by LICENSEE within [***] of invoice.

 

  (b) During the term of this AGREEMENT, LICENSEE shall pay FHCRC a minimum annual royalty of Five Thousand Dollars (US$5,000.00) until FDA approval of a LICENSED PRODUCT, due and payable in pro rata amounts at the beginning of

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

-7-


  each calendar quarterly reporting period and shall be creditable each calendar quarter against the royalty described in Section 4.1(c) below; provided, however, that the minimum annual royalty of Five Thousand Dollars (US$5,000.00) under this Section 4.1(b) shall be increased to Twenty Thousand Dollars (US$20,000.00) at the beginning of the calendar quarter immediately after the date of the FDA approval of a LICENSED PRODUCT. If LICENSEE fails to pay the minimum amounts due and payable as described herein, such failure if not cured within a written notification and cure period of 30 days shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement, and FHCRC may, at its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement upon written notice. Within [***] following each [***], LICENSEE will deliver to FHCRC a written progress report as to LICENSEE’S (and any sublicensee’s) efforts and accomplishments during the preceding [***] in [***] commercializing the Patent Rights, know-how and LICENSED PRODUCTS in the LICENSED TERRITORY, and LICENSEE’S (and sublicensees’) commercialization plans for the upcoming [***].

No multiple royalties shall be payable to FHCRC because a LICENSED PRODUCT is covered by more than one claim in any patent application or patent included in the PATENT RIGHTS; and

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

-8-


  (d) [***] Membership Units of LICENSEE’s outstanding Member Units (“Member Units”), which represents [***] of LICENSEE’s outstanding equity as of the close of the EQUITY FINANCING; and

 

  (e) During the term of this AGREEMENT, [***] of all non-royalty consideration, other than payments for research, development, LICENSED PRODUCT, and reimbursement of expenses (e.g., patenting and other costs) (“NET CONSIDERATION”), received by LICENSEE prior to [***] and [***] of all NET CONSIDERATION, received by LICENSEE after [***], from any sublicensee pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereinabove, including, but not limited to, up-front payments, marketing, distribution, franchise, option, license, or documentation fees, and bonus and milestone payments. Notwithstanding the above, in recognition of the fact that FHCRC and Licensee have entered into multiple license agreements relating to Licensed Products (i.e., this Agreement, the 2012 LICENSE and the 2013 LICENSE), FHCRC agrees that (a) any NET CONSIDERATION (as defined in this AGREEMENT and the 2012 LICENSE) paid by LICENSEE to FHCRC pursuant to this AGREEMENT and/or the 2012 LICENSE shall be fully creditable against any REMUNERATION due to FHCRC under the 2013 LICENSE, and (b) in no event shall LICENSEE be obligated to pay to FHCRC more than an aggregate of [***] with respect to any and all (i) NET CONSIDERATION (subject to this AGREEMENT and/or the 2012 LICENSE), and/or (ii) REMUNERATION (subject to the 2013 LICENSE).

  pursuant to Sections 4.1(c) or 4.1(e) hereof pursuant to actual amounts paid by LICENSEE under Sections 4.5. Any amounts setoff or offset that are not actually setoff or offset against a particular payment amount will be carried forward to the next royalty payment period.

 

4.2 Unless otherwise provided, all such payments are payable within [***] after [***] of each [***] during the term of this AGREEMENT, at which time LICENSEE will also deliver to FHCRC a true and accurate report, giving such particulars of the business conducted by LICENSEE and its sublicensees, if any exist, during the preceding [***] under this AGREEMENT as necessary for FHCRC to account for LICENSEE’s payments hereunder. This report will include pertinent data, including, but not limited to:

 

    [***]

Simultaneously with the delivery of each such report, LICENSEE agrees to pay FHCRC the amount due, if any, for the period of such report. After the first NET SALES of a LICENSED PRODUCT, these reports are required even if no payments are due.

 

4.3

During the term of this AGREEMENT and for [***] thereafter, LICENSEE agrees to keep complete and accurate records of its and its sublicensees’ SALES and NET SALES in sufficient detail to enable the royalties and other payments due hereunder to be determined.

Such accountant shall not disclose to FHCRC any information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports

If any amounts due FHCRC are ultimately determined to have been underpaid in an amount equal to or greater than [***] of the total amount due during the period so examined, then LICENSEE will pay the cost of the examination plus [***].

 

4.4 Within [***] following [***], LICENSEE will deliver to FHCRC a written progress report as to LICENSEE’s (and any sublicensee’s) efforts and accomplishments during [***] in diligently commercializing LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER in the LICENSED TERRITORY and LICENSEE’s (and sublicensees’) commercialization plans for [***].

 

4.5

If LICENSEE or any of its SUBLICENSEEs (i) is or becomes a party to a bona fide license agreement with a non-AFFILIATE THIRD PARTY, or (ii) is a party to a bona fide license agreement with FHCRC pursuant to a separate written agreement entered on or before November 19, 2014 (each such third party or FHCRC, as the case may be, a “STACKING LICENSOR”) for the right or license to a product or process under which LICENSEE is obligated to pay to such STACKING LICENSOR a royalty which is based on a royalty rate applied to LICENSED PRODUCTS sold in particular territories, LICENSEE or any SUBLICENSEE may offset [***] of any royalties it pays to such STACKING LICENSOR against up to [***] of the royalties owed FHCRC under this AGREEMENT; provided, however, that the minimum annual royalty paid to FHCRC under this AGREEMENT notwithstanding the application of offsets under this Section 4.5 will be [***] on annual aggregate NET SALES, and provided further that any such STACKING LICENSOR payment offsets arising out of third party license agreements executed prior to January 2,

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

-11-


  2012 (“PRE-SIGNING THIRD PARTY LICENSE AGREEMENTS”), will be limited to the extent necessary to reflect an aggregate royalty rate on aggregate net sales under all such PRE-SIGNING THIRD PARTY LICENSE AGREEMENTS of no greater than [***]. Any STACKING LICENSOR payments that may be applied as offsets as described above that are not applied in a given period may be carried forward until applied.

 

4.6 All amounts payable hereunder by LICENSEE will be paid in immediately available United States funds without deductions for assessments, fees, or charges of any kind, except tax withholding required by law and as provided herein. Checks are to be made payable to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Conversion of foreign currency to U.S. Dollars shall be made at the exchange rate on the last business day of the reporting period to which a payment relates, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal (Western Edition). If the foreign currency cannot be converted to U.S. Dollars and exported from a country for any reason, LICENSEE shall notify FHCRC in writing and any payment shall be deposited promptly in a recognized financial institution in that country for the benefit of FHCRC.

 

4.7 [***].

 

4.8 If LICENSEE fails to make any payment due under this AGREEMENT within [***] of the date upon which such payment is due, then interest shall accrue on such payment from the date such payment was originally due at a rate equal to [***] above the then-applicable prime commercial lending rate reported in the Wall Street Journal (or any similar daily business publication), or at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is the lower (“INTEREST”).

  (b)

In the event that FHCRC or LICENSEE intends to apply for a new patent application with respect to any developments, discoveries, and inventions that are substantially based on the LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER, such party shall notify the other party and LICENSEE may elect to prepare and file appropriate patent applications if after consultation between LICENSEE and FHCRC both parties agree that a new patent application (“LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER INVENTION”) should be filed.

-14-


  ENFORCEMENT ACTION”). After reimbursement of LICENSEE’s [***] legal costs and expenses related to such enforcement, LICENSEE agrees to pay FHCRC either: (a) the royalty detailed in Section 4.1(c) for any monetary recovery that is for sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS lost due to the infringement and [***] of related punitive damages; or (b) [***] of reasonable royalties awarded and related punitive damages in any recovery in which the award is for reasonable royalties. LICENSEE must notify FHCRC in writing of any potential infringement within [***] of knowledge thereof. If LICENSEE does not file suit against a substantial infringer within [***] of knowledge thereof, then FHCRC may, at its sole discretion, enforce any patent licensed hereunder on behalf of itself and LICENSEE, and after reimbursement of FHCRC’s reasonable legal costs and expenses related to such enforcement, the balance of any recovery shall be distributed as follows: [***] to FHCRC and [***] to LICENSEE. In any suit or dispute involving an infringer of the PATENT RIGHTS, the parties agree to cooperate fully with each other.

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

-15-


  (including the right to settle such claims at its sole discretion), and (ii) LICENSEE may withhold and deposit into an interest-bearing escrow account [***] of all amounts that LICENSEE would otherwise be obligated to pay to FHCRC pursuant to Article IV (the “ ESCROWED AMOUNT ”), and LICENSEE’S payment obligations to FHCRC under Article IV shall be reduced accordingly, until such time as a final, non-appealable judgment is rendered with respect to such INFRINGEMENT SUIT by a court of competent jurisdiction, or the time permitted for appeal of a final, appealable judgment has lapsed (the “FINAL JUDGMENT”). If FINAL JUDGMENT is rendered in favor of LICENSEE (or its AFFILIATES or sublicensees, as the case may be), then LICENSEE shall pay to FHCRC, within [***] after the entry of such judgment, the full amount of the ESCROWED AMOUNT and, after reimbursement of LICENSEE’s reasonable legal costs and expenses related to such action, the balance of any award (except for the balance of any recovery under a PATENT ENFORCEMENT ACTION which shall be distributed pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof) that LICENSEE actually receives with respect to such INFRINGEMENT SUIT shall be distributed as follows: [***] to LICENSEE and [***] to FHCRC. If the FINAL JUDGMENT is rendered partially or entirely in favor of such THIRD PARTY, then LICENSEE may apply the ESCROWED AMOUNT to the payment of its defense costs in connection with such INFRINGEMENT SUIT and to the payment of any award it is required to pay pursuant to such FINAL JUDGMENT. If the ESCROWED AMOUNT exceeds such defense costs and award then LICENSEE, within [***] following the date of the FINAL JUDGMENT, shall remit to FHCRC the amount of such excess. If the ESCROWED AMOUNT does not equal or exceed the amount of such defense costs and award, then from and after the date of the FINAL JUDGMENT, LICENSEE shall be entitled to withhold [***]

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

-16-


  of all amounts that LICENSEE would otherwise be required to pay to FHCRC pursuant to Article IV until such time as the aggregate amounts so withheld plus the ESCROWED AMOUNTS equals the amount of such defense costs and award. In the event that a THIRD PARTY institutes a patent, trademark, trade secret or other infringement suit against LICENSEE or its AFFILIATES or sublicensees during the term of this AGREEMENT, FHCRC shall use, and shall cause its AFFILIATES and any THIRD PARTIES owning relevant FHCRC patents to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with LICENSEE in connection with the defense of such suit.

VII. PATENT MARKING

 

7.1 LICENSEE agrees that all packaging containing individual LICENSED PRODUCT(S), documentation therefor and, when possible, for actual LICENSED PRODUCT(S) sold by LICENSEE, AFFILIATES, and/or sublicensees of LICENSEE will be permanently and legibly marked with the number of any applicable patent(s) licensed hereunder in accordance with each country’s patent laws, including Title 35, United States Code.

  limitation, reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees (collectively “LOSSES”) resulting directly or indirectly from a claim with respect to: [***]. The foregoing indemnification obligations will not apply in the event and to the extent that such LOSSES arose as a result of [***]. FHCRC shall promptly notify LICENSEE of any such LOSSES and allow LICENSEE to handle and control the defense thereof. LICENSEE shall have the sole right to settle such LOSSES, but no settlement shall be made that does not include an unconditional release without FHCRC’s prior written consent.

 

8.2 Except with respect to indemnification and confidentiality obligations by FHCRC and LICENSEE hereunder, in no event shall either party be liable to the other party for any indirect, special, consequential, or punitive damages-arising out of, or in connection with, this AGREEMENT or its subject matter, regardless of whether the other party knows or should know of the possibility of such damages.

 

8.3 Beginning at the time when any LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER is being used in human clinical trials or SOLD by LICENSEE, an AFFILIATE or a sublicensee, LICENSEE shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than [***], and LICENSEE shall use reasonable commercial efforts to have the FHCRC, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives and agents named as additional insureds. Such commercial general liability insurance shall provide: (i) product liability coverage; (ii) broad form contractual liability coverage for LICENSEE’s indemnification under this AGREEMENT; and (iii) coverage for litigation costs.

  (a) A one-time, non-refundable upfront license fee (“Upfront License Fee”) of [***] within [***] following the execution of this AGREEMENT.

 

  (b) [***] during the term of this AGREEMENT in filing, prosecuting, and maintaining PATENT RIGHTS for United States and foreign national filings. FHCRC will invoice LICENSEE for [***] on a [***] basis. The invoiced amounts will be due and payable by LICENSEE within [***] of invoice.

 

  (c) During the term of this AGREEMENT, LICENSEE shall pay FHCRC a minimum annual royalty of Five Thousand Dollars (US$5,000.00) until FDA approval of a LICENSED PRODUCT, due and payable in pro rata amounts at the beginning of each calendar quarterly reporting period and shall be creditable each calendar quarter against the royalty described in Section 4.1(d) below; provided, however, that the minimum annual royalty of Five Thousand Dollars (US$5,000.00) under this Section 4.1(c) shall be increased to Twenty Thousand Dollars (US$20,000.00) at the beginning of the calendar quarter immediately after the date of the FDA approval of a LICENSED PRODUCT.

8


  (d) During the term of this AGREEMENT, a running royalty equal to [***] of LICENSEE’s and any and all sublicensee(s)’ annual aggregate NET SALES, such annual aggregate NET SALES being calculated on a [***] basis. No multiple royalties shall be payable to FHCRC because a LICENSED PRODUCT is covered by more than one claim in any patent application or patent included in the PATENT RIGHTS; and

 

  (e)

During the term of this AGREEMENT, [***] of all non-royalty consideration, other than payments for research, development, LICENSED PRODUCT, and reimbursement of expenses (e.g., patenting and other costs) (“NET CONSIDERATION”), received by LICENSEE prior to [***] and [***] of all NET CONSIDERATION, received by LICENSEE after the [***], from any sublicensee pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereinabove, including, but not limited to, up-front payments, marketing, distribution, franchise, option, license, or documentation fees, and bonus and milestone payments. Notwithstanding the above, in recognition of the fact that FHCRC and Licensee have entered into multiple license agreements relating to Licensed Products (i.e., this AGREEMENT, the 2009 LICENSE and the 2013 LICENSE), FHCRC agrees that (a) any NET CONSIDERATION (as defined in 2009 LICENSE and this AGREEMENT) paid by LICENSEE to FHCRC pursuant to the 2009 LICENSE and/or this AGREEMENT shall be fully creditable against any REMUNERATION due to FHCRC under the 2013 LICENSE, and (b) in no event shall LICENSEE be obligated to pay to FHCRC more than an aggregate of [***] with

  respect to any and all (i) NET CONSIDERATION (subject to the 2009 LICENSE and/or this AGREEMENT), and/or (ii) REMUNERATION (subject to the 2013 LICENSE).

 

  (f) Notwithstanding any provision in Section 4.1 hereof or elsewhere in this Agreement to the contrary, LICENSEE shall be entitled to reduce payments otherwise required pursuant to Sections 4.1(d) or 4.1(e) hereof pursuant to actual amounts paid by LICENSEE under Sections 4.6. Any amounts setoff or offset that are not actually setoff or offset against a particular payment amount will be carried forward to the next royalty payment period.

 

4.2 In further consideration for the right and license granted to LICENSEE under this AGREEMENT, LICENSEE will pay to FHCRC certain milestone payments as provided for below. Such milestones payments will be due and payable to FHCRC in the amount shown below within [***] of LICENSEE, its AFFILIATE or SUBLICENSEES upon the first meeting or achieving each individual milestone. Milestone payments will be paid as follows on LICENSED PRODUCTS which meet any such milestone, and with regard to (i) through (iii) below:

(i) Upon initiation of a first [***] for a LICENSED PRODUCT:

—LICENSEE will pay [***].

(ii) Upon initiation of a first [***] for a LICENSED PRODUCT:

—LICENSEE will pay [***].

If any milestone listed in Section 4.2 above is not applicable for the commercialization of any LICENSED PRODUCT, [***]

4.2.1 Any and all such milestone payments are not refundable and any and all milestone payments are only payable once, regardless of the number of times a milestone is achieved by one or more LICENSED PRODUCT.

 

4.3 Unless otherwise provided, all such payments are payable within [***] after [***] of each [***] during the term of this AGREEMENT, at which time LICENSEE will also deliver to FHCRC a true and accurate report, giving such particulars of the business conducted by LICENSEE and its sublicensees, if any exist, during the preceding [***] under this AGREEMENT as necessary for FHCRC to account for LICENSEE’s payments hereunder. This report will include pertinent data, including, but not limited to:

[***]

Simultaneously with the delivery of each such report, LICENSEE agrees to pay FHCRC the amount due, if any, for the period of such report. After the first NET SALES of a LICENSED PRODUCT, these reports are required even if no payments are due.

 

4.4

During the term of this AGREEMENT and for [***] thereafter, LICENSEE agrees to keep complete and accurate records of its and its sublicensees’ SALES and NET SALES in sufficient detail to enable the royalties and other payments due hereunder to be determined. LICENSEE agrees to permit an independent certified public accountant, reasonably acceptable to LICENSEE, to periodically examine, at FHCRC’s expense and not more frequently than [***], the pertinent portions of LICENSEE’s books, ledgers, and records during regular business hours for the purpose of and to the extent necessary to verify any report required under this AGREEMENT within the last [***]. Such accountant shall not

11


  disclose to FHCRC any information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports and calculations of amounts due FHCRC under this AGREEMENT and shall be subject to the terms of Article X, which it shall confirm in writing. If any amounts due FHCRC are ultimately determined to have been underpaid in an amount equal to or greater than [***] of the total amount due during the period so examined, then LICENSEE will pay the cost of the examination plus [***].

 

4.5 Within [***] following each [***], LICENSEE will deliver to FHCRC a written progress report as to LICENSEE’s (and any sublicensee’s) efforts and accomplishments during [***] in [***] commercializing LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER in the LICENSED TERRITORY and LICENSEE’s (and sublicensees’) commercialization plans for [***].

 

4.6

If LICENSEE or any of its SUBLICENSEEs (i) is or becomes a party to a bona fide license agreement with a non-AFFILIATE THIRD PARTY, or (ii) is a party to a bona fide license agreement with FHCRC under a separate written agreement entered on or before November 19, 2014 (each such third party or FHCRC, as the case may be, a “STACKING LICENSOR”) for the right or license to a product or process under which LICENSEE is obligated to pay to such STACKING LICENSOR a royalty which is based on a royalty rate applied to LICENSED PRODUCTS sold in particular territories, LICENSEE or any such SUBLICENSEE may offset [***] of any royalties it pays to such STACKING LICENSOR against up to [***] of the royalties owed FHCRC under this AGREEMENT; provided, however, that the minimum annual royalty paid to FHCRC under this AGREEMENT notwithstanding the application of STACKING LICENSOR offsets under this Section 4.6 will be [***] on annual aggregate NET SALES, and provided further that any such STACKING LICENSOR payment offsets arising out of third party license agreements

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

12


  executed prior to January 2, 2012 (“PRE-SIGNING THIRD PARTY LICENSE AGREEMENTS”), will be limited to the extent necessary to reflect an aggregate royalty rate on aggregate net sales under all such PRE-SIGNING THIRD PARTY LICENSE AGREEMENTS of no greater than [***]. Any STACKING LICENSOR payments that may be applied as offsets as described above that are not applied in a given period may be carried forward until applied.

 

4.7 All amounts payable hereunder by LICENSEE will be paid in immediately available United States funds without deductions for assessments, fees, or charges of any kind, except tax withholding required by law and as provided herein. Checks are to be made payable to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Conversion of foreign currency to U.S. Dollars shall be made at the exchange rate on the last business day of the reporting period to which a payment relates, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal (Western Edition). If the foreign currency cannot be converted to U.S. Dollars and exported from a country for any reason, LICENSEE shall notify FHCRC in writing and any payment shall be deposited promptly in a recognized financial institution in that country for the benefit of FHCRC.

 

4.8 [***].

 

4.9 If LICENSEE fails to make any payment due under this AGREEMENT within [***] of the date upon which such payment is due, then interest shall accrue on such payment from the date such payment was originally due at a rate equal to [***] above the then-applicable prime commercial lending rate reported in the Wall Street Journal (or any similar daily business publication), or at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is the lower (“INTEREST”).

  (b)

In the event that FHCRC or LICENSEE intends to apply for a new patent application with respect to any developments, discoveries, and inventions that are substantially based on the LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER, such party shall notify the other party and LICENSEE may elect to prepare and file appropriate patent applications if after consultation between LICENSEE and FHCRC both parties agree that a new patent application (“LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER INVENTION”) should be filed. The entire right, title and interest in and to all discoveries, improvements, processes, formulas, data, inventions, enhancements, know-how and trade secrets, patentable or otherwise, with respect to the LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER INVENTION that were or are developed or invented: (i) solely by employees or contractors of

 

14


  LICENSEE shall be owned jointly by LICENSEE and FHCRC; (ii) solely by employees or contractors (excluding LICENSEE) of FHCRC shall be owned solely by FHCRC; and (iii) jointly by employees or contractors of LICENSEE and FHCRC shall be owned jointly by LICENSEE and FHCRC.

VI. INFRINGEMENT ACTIONS

 

6.1 LICENSEE [***] shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to enforce any patent exclusively licensed hereunder against infringement by THIRD PARTIES (“PATENT ENFORCEMENT ACTION”). After reimbursement of LICENSEE’s [***] legal costs and expenses related to such enforcement, LICENSEE agrees to pay FHCRC either: (a) the royalty detailed in Section 4.1(d) for any monetary recovery that is for sales of LICENSED PRODUCTS lost due to the infringement and [***] of related punitive damages; or (b) [***] of reasonable royalties awarded and related punitive damages in any recovery in which the award is for reasonable royalties. LICENSEE must notify FHCRC in writing of any potential infringement within [***] of knowledge thereof. If LICENSEE does not file suit against a substantial infringer within [***] of knowledge thereof, then FHCRC may, at its sole discretion, enforce any patent licensed hereunder on behalf of itself and LICENSEE, and after reimbursement of FHCRC’s reasonable legal costs and expenses related to such enforcement, the balance of any recovery shall be distributed as follows: [***] to FHCRC and [***] to LICENSEE. In any suit or dispute involving an infringer of the PATENT RIGHTS, the parties agree to cooperate fully with each other. At the request and expense of the party bringing suit, the other party will permit access during regular business hours, to all relevant personnel, records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like in its possession and agrees to be joined in such suit, if requested or required by applicable law.

 

6.2

In the event that a THIRD PARTY institutes a patent, trade secret, trademark or other infringement suit against LICENSEE or its AFFILIATES or sublicensees during the term of this AGREEMENT, alleging that the practice by LICENSEE of the LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER in the exercise of its rights as licensee under this AGREEMENT infringes one or

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

16


  more patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property rights held by such THIRD PARTY (an “INFRINGEMENT SUIT”), then (i) as between LICENSEE and FHCRC, LICENSEE shall assume direction and control of the defense of claims arising therefrom (including the right to settle such claims at its sole discretion), and (ii) LICENSEE may withhold and deposit into an interest-bearing escrow account [***] of all amounts that LICENSEE would otherwise be obligated to pay to FHCRC pursuant to Article IV (the “ESCROWED AMOUNT”), and LICENSEE’S payment obligations to FHCRC under Article IV shall be reduced accordingly, until such time as a final, non-appealable judgment is rendered with respect to such INFRINGEMENT SUIT by a court of competent jurisdiction, or the time permitted for appeal of a final, appealable judgment has lapsed (the “FINAL JUDGMENT”). If FINAL JUDGMENT is rendered in favor of LICENSEE (or its AFFILIATES or sublicensees, as the case may be), then LICENSEE shall pay to FHCRC, within [***] after the entry of such judgment, the full amount of the ESCROWED AMOUNT and, after reimbursement of LICENSEE’s reasonable legal costs and expenses related to such action, the balance of any award (except for the balance of any recovery under a PATENT ENFORCEMENT ACTION which shall be distributed pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof) that LICENSEE actually receives with respect to such INFRINGEMENT SUIT shall be distributed as follows: [***] to LICENSEE and [***] to FHCRC. If the FINAL JUDGMENT is rendered partially or entirely in favor of such THIRD PARTY, then LICENSEE may apply the ESCROWED AMOUNT to the payment of its defense costs in connection with such INFRINGEMENT SUIT and to the payment of any award it is required to pay pursuant to such FINAL JUDGMENT. If the ESCROWED AMOUNT exceeds such defense costs and award then LICENSEE, within [***] following the date of the FINAL

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

17


  JUDGMENT, shall remit to FHCRC the amount of such excess. If the ESCROWED AMOUNT does not equal or exceed the amount of such defense costs and award, then from and after the date of the FINAL JUDGMENT, LICENSEE shall be entitled to withhold [***] of all amounts that LICENSEE would otherwise be required to pay to FHCRC pursuant to Article IV until such time as the aggregate amounts so withheld plus the ESCROWED AMOUNTS equals the amount of such defense costs and award. In the event that a THIRD PARTY institutes a patent, trademark, trade secret or other infringement suit against LICENSEE or its AFFILIATES or sublicensees during the term of this AGREEMENT, FHCRC shall use, and shall cause its AFFILIATES and any THIRD PARTIES owning relevant FHCRC patents to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with LICENSEE in connection with the defense of such suit.

VII. PATENT MARKING

 

7.1 LICENSEE agrees that all packaging containing individual LICENSED PRODUCT(S), documentation therefor and, when possible, for actual LICENSED PRODUCT(S) sold by LICENSEE, AFFILIATES, and/or sublicensees of LICENSEE will be permanently and legibly marked with the number of any applicable patent(s) licensed hereunder in accordance with each country’s patent laws, including Title 35, United States Code.

 

7.2 LICENSEE shall have the right to determine appropriate trademark, trade dress, and other related intellectual property usage in connection with marketing LICENSED PRODUCTS under this AGREEMENT.

The foregoing indemnification obligations will not apply in the event and to the extent that such LOSSES arose as a result of [***]. FHCRC shall promptly notify LICENSEE of any such LOSSES and allow LICENSEE to handle and control the defense thereof LICENSEE shall have the sole right to settle such LOSSES, but no settlement shall be made that does not include an unconditional release without FHCRC’s prior written consent.

 

8.2 Except with respect to indemnification and confidentiality obligations by FHCRC and LICENSEE hereunder, in no event shall either party be liable to the other party for any indirect, special, consequential, or punitive damages-arising out of, or in connection with, this AGREEMENT or its subject matter, regardless of whether the other party knows or should know of the possibility of such damages.

 

8.3

Beginning at the time when any LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER is being used in human clinical trials or SOLD by LICENSEE, an AFFILIATE or a sublicensee, LICENSEE shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than [***], and LICENSEE shall use reasonable commercial efforts to have the FHCRC, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives and agents named as additional insureds.

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

19


  indemnification under this AGREEMENT; and (iii) coverage for litigation costs. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required herein shall not be construed to create a limit of LICENSEE’s liability with respect to its indemnification under this AGREEMENT. The insurance requirements under this Section 8.3 may be satisfied by self insurance commensurate with reasonable standards of the industry.

 

8.4 LICENSEE shall provide FHCRC with written evidence of such insurance within [***] of its procurement. Additionally, LICENSEE shall provide FHCRC with written notice of at least [***] prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance. If LICENSEE does not provide FHCRC with written evidence of such insurance, LICENSEE may elect to self-insure all or part of the limits described above provided that such self-insurance program is acceptable to FHCRC.

 

8.5 LICENSEE shall maintain such commercial general liability insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT during: (i) the period that any LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER developed pursuant to this AGREEMENT is being commercially distributed or sold by LICENSEE or by a sublicensee or agent of LICENSEE; and (ii) the [***] period immediately after such period.

IX. USE OF FHCRC’S NAME

 

9.1 LICENSEE will not use the name of (or the name of any employee of) FHCRC in any advertising, promotional or sales literature, or on its Web site, without the advance express written consent of FHCRC.

Notwithstanding the above, LICENSEE may use the name of (or name of employee of) FHCRC in routine business correspondence, prospectus or other financing documents, disclosure documents and company descriptions describing the fact that a licensing relationship exists, or as required under applicable law or regulations, without FHCRC’s express written consent.

10.1 FHCRC and LICENSEE each agree that all information contained in documents marked “confidential” and forwarded to one by the other (i) are to be received in strict confidence, (ii) are to be used only for the purposes of this AGREEMENT, and (iii) will not be disclosed by the recipient party (except as required by law or court order), its agents or employees without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, LICENSEE may disclose and use, and will not be required to maintain as confidential, the PATENT RIGHTS and TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS in connection with the exercise of its license rights hereunder, and subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less stringent than set forth herein, LICENSEE may disclose the PATENT RIGHTS, TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS and related FHCRC information to present and prospective investors, lenders, sublicensees, consultants and advisors. The foregoing obligations shall not apply to the extent that the recipient party can establish by competent written proof that such information:

 

  (a) was in the public domain at the time of disclosure; or

 

  (b) later became part of the public domain through no act or omission of the recipient party, its employees, agents, successors or assigns; or

 

  (c) was lawfully disclosed to the recipient party by a THIRD PARTY having the right to disclose it; or

 

  (d) was already known by the recipient party at the time of disclosure; or

 

  (e) was independently developed by the recipient party without use of the other party’s confidential information.

 

21


If the recipient party is required by law to disclose confidential information owned or disclosed to it by the other party including, without limitation, by discovery, subpoena or other legal or administrative process, the recipient party agrees to provide the other party prompt notice of the required disclosure to permit the other party, at its option and expense, to seek an appropriate protective order or waive the requirements of this AGREEMENT. If no protective order or waiver is obtained, such disclosure may be made but only to the extent legally required. The recipient party will not oppose any action by the other party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other assurance that confidential information which must be disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment.

 

10.2 Each party’s obligation of confidence hereunder will be fulfilled by using at least the same degree of care with the other party’s confidential information as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but always at least a reasonable degree of care. This obligation will exist while this AGREEMENT is in force and for a period of [***] thereafter.

 

10.3 FHCRC reserves the right to publish the general scientific findings from research related to LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER, but not LICENSEE’s confidential information. FHCRC will submit the manuscript of any proposed publication to LICENSEE at least [***] before publication, and LICENSEE shall have the right to review and comment upon the publication in order to protect LICENSEE’s confidential information and the patentability of any inventions disclosed therein. Upon LICENSEE’s request, publication may be delayed up to [***] additional [***] to enable LICENSEE to secure adequate intellectual property protection of any PATENT RIGHTS contained therein that would otherwise be affected by the publication.

12. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

12.1 Definition of Project Intellectual Property . “ Project Intellectual Property ” means any and all inventions, improvements, methods or discoveries and all works of authorship or software but (excluding articles, dissertations, theses, books and other scholarly works) which are conceived, reduced to practice, developed or created in connection with or in performance of a Collaboration Project by employees or agents of one or both of the parties.

12.2 Determination of Ownership . Ownership of all inventions constituting Project Intellectual Property will follow inventorship as determined under applicable law, subject to any assignment of rights by an inventor to his or her employer or pursuant to written contract. Ownership of all works of authorship and software constituting Project Intellectual Property will follow authorship as determined under applicable law subject to the “work for hire” doctrine and any assignment of rights by an author to his or her employer or pursuant to written contract. Ownership of all other intellectual property (e.g., know-how) will be determined under applicable law, subject to any assignment of rights to his or her employer or pursuant to written contract. Each party, represents, warrants and agrees that unless otherwise agreed in writing by the other party, it will not allow any employee, member of its faculty or scientific staff, student or other person to work on a Collaboration Project on its behalf unless such person has agreed to assign any Project Intellectual Property conceived, first reduced to practice, authored or otherwise created in connection with or performance of the Collaboration Project to that party so that it may carry out its obligations under this Agreement and the applicable Project Agreement.

12.3 Filing of Patent and other Applications for Intellectual Property Protection .

(a) Each party will notify the other party and the COG of any Project Intellectual Property of which it becomes aware.

(b) With respect to any Project Intellectual Property solely owned by FHCRC and to FHCRC’s interest in any jointly owned Project Intellectual Property, Juno will have [***] from the date it is notified by FHCRC or otherwise becomes aware of any such Project Intellectual Property to request that a patent application or application for other intellectual property protection be prepared and filed, provided, however, that FHCRC may notify Juno in writing of its intent to publish Collaboration Project results including such Project Intellectual Property, and provide an abstract of such proposed publication, in which case, Juno will have [***] from the date it receives such notice, extendable by an additional [***] upon written notice to FHCRC by Juno during such [***] period, to make such request. If Juno does make such request within such time period, FHCRC may publish such results and may prepare, file, and prosecute each such domestic and foreign application in FHCRC’s name or, if FHCRC elects not to proceed with the application, Juno

may elect to do so in FHCRC’s name. Juno will pay for [***] incurred in connection with the preparation, filing, prosecution, and maintenance of any such applications and any resulting patent or other intellectual property protection, provided, however, that if Juno notifies FHCTC that it has no interest in such an application, Juno will not pay such costs, and will have no Option to license FHCRC’s interest in such patent application. FHCRC and Juno will cooperate to ensure that each application filed at Juno’s request will cover all items of commercial interest and importance. The party responsible for the application will be entitled to use reputable intellectual property counsel of its choice, reasonably acceptable to the other party. The party conducting such activities shall keep the other party fully informed as to the status of such patent matters. While the party responsible for preparation and filing of the application will have sole discretion with respect to decisions regarding the scope and content of that application and the prosecution thereof, the other party will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments concerning the application, will be kept advised of material developments with respect to the application, and will be supplied with copies of all documents received and filed in connection with the prosecution of such application in sufficient time to comment. Comments by the other party will be given good faith consideration by the party responsible for the application.

(c) With respect to any jointly owned Project Intellectual Property, the parties will cooperate to decide which party shall file, prosecute and maintain patent applications covering such inventions, and the countries in which such filings shall be made. The party conducting such activities shall keep the other party fully informed as to the status of such patent matters. While the party responsible for preparation and filing of the application will have sole discretion with respect to decisions regarding the scope and content of that application and the prosecution thereof, the other party will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and provide comments concerning the application, will be kept advised of material developments with respect to the application, and will be supplied with copies of all documents received and filed in connection with the prosecution of such application in sufficient time to comment. Comments by the other party will be given good faith consideration by the party responsible for the application. The parties will [***] all expenses and fees associated with the filing, prosecution, issuance and maintenance of any jointly owned patent application and resulting patents within the Project Intellectual Property.

(d) Disputes concerning ownership of any patent or other intellectual property application, and filing and prosecution decisions, will be referred to the COG for resolution, subject to final resolution pursuant to Section 2.4.

12.4 Option for License and License Terms .

(a) FHCRC hereby grants Juno an option, exercisable during the term of this Agreement except as provided in Section 12.3(b), for an exclusive , royalty-bearing license to all or part of FHCRC’s right, title and interest in, to and under any patent applications and patents within the Project Intellectual Property, and a non-exclusive, royalty bearing license to all or part of FHCRC’s right, title and interest in, to and under any intellectual property not covered by the claims of patent applications or patents within the Project Intellectual Property and made or created in connection with or in performance of a Collaboration Project (“ Option ”) reserving to FHCRC, in each case, a paid-up, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to use and, with the prior written consent of Juno, in its sole discretion, to sublicense to other not-for-profit research organizations to use, any

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

-19-


patent applications and patents within such Project Intellectual Property for internal non-commercial research purposes. Unless it is terminated sooner under this Agreement (including as provided in Section 12.3(b) above), the Option will terminate automatically unless it is exercised (including the execution of a mutually acceptable licensing agreement) [***].

(b) Juno may exercise the Option by giving FHCRC written notice of exercise of the Option describing the Project Intellectual Property that it wishes to license. In such case, the parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to a license agreement for such intellectual property, with the terms of such license being commercially reasonable and competitive as of the date such license is entered into. In the event the parties are unable to agree on such terms within [***], FHCRC and Juno shall appoint a neutral, independent expert with extensive expertise in the licensing of pharmaceutical technology and products to act as an expert (not as an arbitrator) (the “ Expert ”), at the expense of each of each of FHCRC and Juno in equal proportions, to make its independent determination of the commercially reasonable economic terms for such a license to the applicable intellectual property (the “ Expert’s Determination ”). In any such determination the Expert shall take into account, inter alia , (i) any joint ownership interest that Juno may have in such intellectual property, and (ii) the ability (or inability, as the case may be) for such intellectual property to be practiced without a license to the intellectual property licensed to Juno under the License Agreement. If FHCRC and Juno are unable to agree on an expert within [***], each of the FHCRC and Juno will each designate a neutral, independent individual with the qualifications above, and those individuals will select a third neutral independent individual with the qualifications above to act as the Expert. Each of the parties shall provide the Expert with a written proposal detailing their respective proposed terms, and make available to such Expert on a confidential basis such books, accounts, records and forecasts as the Expert may reasonably request, including terms of other licenses entered into by each of the parties (including, without limitation, the License Agreement), that may be useful in determining the commercially reasonable terms of licensing. The Expert shall select the proposal of one of the parties as his or her Expert’s Determination, without varying any of the terms thereof. The Expert’s Determination shall be final and binding on the parties, and shall constitute the key terms of the license.

12.5 Termination of Certain Rights of Juno . If Juno does not request that FHCRC file a patent application for any Project Intellectual Property within the [***] period provided for in Section 12.4, or as otherwise provided in Section 12.3(b), or does not provide financial support with respect to the preparation, filing, prosecution or maintenance of any patent or patent application as required by this Agreement, the Option will expire with respect to that patent application or patent and FHCRC, at its sole expense, may prepare and file or continue prosecution or maintenance of that patent or patent application.

12.6 Pre-existing Rights . No party claims by virtue of this Agreement any right, title, or interest in or to any issued patents or pending patent applications owned or controlled by any other party as of the date of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as granting any license or obligation to license any intellectual property to the other party other than as expressly set forth herein, including (a) the Option granted under Section 12.4, (b) the limited right to use Study Product and to manufacture and use HCT Study Product in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Project Agreement, and (c) the cross-licenses granted under Section 12.7.

(b) Juno hereby grants to FHCRC a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, non-sublicensable (except with the further prior written consent of Juno, including as set forth in a Project Agreement) license to intellectual property owned or controlled by Juno solely to the extent necessary to allow FHCRC to perform its obligations under the Project Agreement(s).

12.8 CREATE . The parties intend for the Collaboration to qualify for the benefits of the Cooperative Research and Technology Enhancement Act (35 U.S.C. § 103) (the “ CREATE Act ”). Accordingly, each party agrees to use reasonable efforts to do, and cause its employees to do, all lawful acts that may be or become necessary to evidence, maintain, record and perfect rights of the parties provided by the CREATE Act.

12.9 Common Interest Disclosures . With regard to any information or opinions disclosed pursuant to this Agreement by one party to each other regarding intellectual property and/or technology owned by third parties, Juno and FHCRC agree that they have a common legal interest in determining whether, and to what extent, third party intellectual property rights may affect the conduct of the Collaboration, and have a further common legal interest in defending against any actual or prospective third party claims based on allegations of misuse or infringement of intellectual property rights relating to the conduct of the Collaboration. Accordingly, Juno and FHCRC agree that all such information and materials obtained by Juno and FHCRC from each other will be used solely for purposes of the Parties’ common legal interests with respect to the conduct of the Agreement. All information and materials will be treated as protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work product privilege, and any other privilege or immunity that may otherwise be applicable, except with respect to disputes arising between the parties. By sharing any such information and materials, neither party intends to waive or limit any privilege or immunity that may apply to the shared information and materials. Neither party shall have the authority to waive any privilege or immunity on behalf of the other party without such other party’s prior written consent, nor shall the waiver of privilege or immunity resulting from the conduct of one party be deemed to apply against any other party.

 

13. INDEMNITY, INSURANCE AND RESEARCH RELATED INJURY

(b) Any damage or deficiency resulting directly or indirectly from [***]; and

(c) All third party other actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses incident to the foregoing, including actual attorneys’ fees and other out-of-pocket expenses.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

-21-


This indemnification will not apply to the extent that the claims, debts, liabilities, obligations, damages, deficiencies or expenses (collectively “ Claims ”) for which indemnification is sought under this Agreement are caused by the [***] of the FHCRC Indemnitees or are [***].

13.2 Indemnification by FHCRC . FHCRC will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Juno and its directors, officers, professional staff, employees, agents, successors, heirs and assigns (“ Juno Indemnitees ”) from and against:

(a) All third party claims, debts, liabilities and obligations which arise from or are alleged to arise from the [***];

13.3 Indemnification Procedures . The Indemnitees will give the party from whom indemnification is sought under this Agreement (in this capacity “ Indemnitor ”) reasonable notice of any Claims asserted against such Indemnitees. Failure to give such notice will not abrogate or diminish Indemnitor’s indemnity obligation if Indemnitor [***] or if such failure does not prejudice Indemnitor’s ability to defend the Claim. In any litigation, administrative proceeding, negotiation or arbitration pertaining to any Claim for which indemnification is sought under this Agreement, Indemnitor will select competent legal counsel acceptable to the Indemnitees in their reasonable discretion to represent the Indemnitees. Indemnitor will control such litigation, proceedings, negotiations and arbitration. The Indemnitees will at all times have the right to fully participate in the defense at their own expense. If Indemnitor, within a reasonable time after notice, fails to defend, the Indemnitees will have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake the defense of and to compromise or settle the Claim or other matter on behalf, for the account, and at the risk of Indemnitor. If the Claim is one that cannot by its nature be defended solely by Indemnitor, then the Indemnitees will make available all information and assistance Indemnitor may reasonably request at Indemnitor’s expense.

13.4 Insurance . Each party represents, warrants and agrees that it will maintain during the term of this Agreement and for a period of [***] thereafter, a liability insurance policy at levels and with coverage (including product liability and professional liability coverage) sufficient to support the indemnification obligations and other obligations assumed under this Agreement and all Project Agreements but in no event less than [***].

cancellation, nonrenewal or material change in the insurance coverage. If a party does not obtain replacement insurance providing comparable coverage within [***], the other party will have the right to terminate its participation under this Agreement immediately.

13.5 Participant Injury Attributable to the Clinical Trial . [***] agrees to pay, the [***] participating in clinical trials related to a Collaboration Project for illness or injury attributable to a Study Product except to the extent [***]. For purposes of this determination, “attributable” means that the receipt of the Study Product and the research subject’s illness or injury are reasonably related in time, and the illness or injury is more likely explained by the receipt of the Study Vaccine than another cause. The payment or offer of payment of any amount by [***] is not an admission of fault or liability by any one or more of (a) the parties, (b) any Participating Site or (c) the affiliates, contractors, insurers employees or agents of any of the foregoing, and any such payment or offer of payment will not be considered a waiver of any defense or other legal right by any of the foregoing in any legal, administrative or similar proceeding.

The agreement with respect to which notice is given will be deemed terminated upon expiration of the thirty (30) day period unless the breach is cured prior to such expiration; provided , that if the breach is such that more than thirty (30) days is reasonably required for its cure, then the party who committed the breach will not be deemed to be in breach if it commences the cure within the thirty (30) day period and diligently pursues the cure to completion.

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), if the agreement that is being terminated for breach is this Agreement, the party that wishes to terminate this Agreement must [***] before giving the thirty (30) day written notice of breach described in subsection (a).

Upon termination of this Agreement or a Project Agreement, a party entitled to reimbursement under the Agreement being terminated will be reimbursed for all costs and non-cancelable commitments reasonably incurred by it in the performance of the Collaboration or any terminated Collaboration Project.

(b) If a Project Agreement is terminated prior to completion of the Collaboration Project to which it relates for any reason the parties will cease enrolling research subjects in any clinical trial that is part of that Collaboration Project, stop using the Study Product for that Collaboration Project and stop conducting any procedures on research subjects enrolled in a clinical trial that is part of that Collaboration Project as soon as practicable, with due regard for the safety and welfare of research subjects.

(c) Termination of this Agreement for any reason other than a material breach by FHCRC will not abrogate, diminish or otherwise affect FHCRC’s rights under the Related Agreements except as provided thereunder. Upon a termination of this Agreement by FHCRC for breach by Juno, the parties acknowledge and agree that Sponsor Payments not yet funded by Juno may be included among damages for breach for which FHCRC may recover. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of this Agreement shall have no effect on the License Agreement.

3.7

(a) FHCRC hereby grants Juno an option, exercisable during the term of this Agreement, for an exclusive, royalty-bearing license to all or part of FHCRC’s right, title and interest in, to and under any FHCRC ENABLING PATENTS, and a non-exclusive, royalty bearing license to all or part of FHCRC’s right, title and interest in, to and under

 

11


  any FHCRC ENABLING TECHNOLOGY (the “OPTION”) reserving to FHCRC, in each case, a paid-up, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to use and, with the prior written consent of LICENSEE, in its sole discretion, to sublicense to other not-for-profit research organizations to use, such FHCRC ENABLING PATENTS for internal non-commercial research purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such OPTION shall not apply to any FHCRC ENABLING IP developed in connection with [***]. Unless it is terminated sooner under this AGREEMENT, the OPTION will terminate automatically unless it is exercised within [***] from the FHCRC NOTICE, and if a mutually acceptable licensing agreement is not executed by the parties within [***] from the FHCRC NOTICE.

(b) No less frequently than [***] during the term of the AGREEMENT, FHCRC shall use good faith efforts to identify any FHCRC ENABLING IP that it believes may be subject to the foregoing OPTION, including pursuant to written notice of any such intellectual property from LICENSEE, and will promptly provide a written description of the relevant FHCRC ENABLING IP sufficient to allow LICENSEE to reasonably assess whether it wishes to exercise such OPTION (an “FHCRC NOTICE”). The parties agree that any failure to comply with the foregoing sentence, other than a willful and intentional violation, will not constitute a breach entitling termination of this AGREEMENT by LICENSEE, but LICENSEE may offset damages proven in connection with such breach against amounts due from LICENSEE hereunder. At LICENSEE’s request, FHCRC shall answer questions relating to such FHCRC ENABLING IP, and provide to LICENSEE data relating thereto for such assessment by LICENSEE, with all such information provided pursuant to this section constituting CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of FHCRC. Notwithstanding any other provision of this AGREEMENT, LICENSEE may not share any of such information provided pursuant to this section with any third party without the prior written consent of FHCRC.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

12


(c) LICENSEE may exercise the OPTION by giving FHCRC written notice of exercise of the OPTION and describing the FHCRC ENABLING IP that it wishes to license. In such case, the parties shall negotiate in good faith with respect to a license agreement for such intellectual property, with the terms of such license being commercially reasonable and competitive as of the date such license is entered into. In the event the parties are unable to agree on such terms within [***], FHCRC and LICENSEE shall appoint a neutral, independent expert with extensive expertise in the licensing of pharmaceutical technology and products to act as an expert (not as an arbitrator) (the “EXPERT”), at the expense of each of each of FHCRC and LICENSEE in equal proportions, to make its independent determination of the commercially reasonable economic terms for such a license to the applicable intellectual property (the “EXPERT’S DETERMINATION”). In any such determination the EXPERT shall take into account, inter alia , the ability (or inability, as the case may be) for such intellectual property to be practiced without a license to the LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER. If FHCRC and LICENSEE are unable to agree on an EXPERT within [***], each of the FHCRC and EXPERT will each designate a neutral, independent individual with the qualifications above, and those individuals will select a third neutral independent individual with the qualifications above to act as the EXPERT. Each of the parties shall provide the EXPERT with a written proposal detailing their respective proposed terms, and make available to such EXPERT on a confidential basis such books, accounts, records and forecasts as the Expert may reasonably request, including terms of other

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

13


licenses entered into by each of the parties, that may be useful in determining the commercially reasonable terms of licensing. The EXPERT shall select the proposal of one of the parties as his or her EXPERT’S DETERMINATION, without varying any of the terms thereof. The EXPERT’S DETERMINATION shall be final and binding on the parties, and shall constitute the key terms of the license.

(d) With regard to any FHCRC ENABLING PATENTS that are licensed to any third party on or after to the EFFECTIVE DATE, other than any FHCRC ENABLING PATENT to which LICENSEE was offered an OPTION and declined to, or failed to timely, exercise, such OPTION, FHCRC hereby covenants that, unless legally required to do so, it shall not enforce, or encourage the enforcement of, against LICENSEE or its Affiliates, SUBLICENSEES, successors or assigns (each, a “PROTECTED ENTITY”), any such FHCRC ENABLING PATENT owned or controlled by FHCRC that claims any (i) a composition of matter (including, without limitation, any genus claim) of a LICENSED PRODUCT, or (ii) method of making such LICENSED PRODUCT, or using such a LICENSED PRODUCT in the LICENSED FIELD, if the PROTECTED ENTITY infringes such patent in the course of practicing such a patent in connection with the development, manufacture, use, importation, offer for sale or sale of such LICENSED PRODUCT within the FIELD. Such covenant shall also apply, solely with respect to such patent, to any person or entity to whom FHCRC assigns such FHCRC ENABLING PATENT.

Notwithstanding the above, in recognition of the fact that FHCRC and Licensee have entered into multiple license agreements relating to Licensed Products (i.e., this Agreement, the 2009 LICENSE and the 2012 LICENSE), FHCRC agrees that (a) any NET CONSIDERATION (as defined in 2009 LICENSE and 2012 LICENSE) paid by LICENSEE to FHCRC pursuant to the 2009 LICENSE and/or the 2012 LICENSE shall be fully creditable against any REMUNERATION due to FHCRC under this AGREEMENT, and (b) in no event shall LICENSEE be obligated to pay to FHCRC more than an aggregate of [***] with respect to any and all (i) NET CONSIDERATION (subject to the 2009 LICENSE and/or the 2012 LICENSE), and/or (ii) REMUNERATION (subject to this Agreement).

 

  (h) LICENSEE shall pay to FHCRC payments for the achievement of development milestones (“ DEVELOPMENT MILESTONES ”), as follows:

(i) A payment of [***] upon [***] for each LICENSED PRODUCT in a [***] following the EFFECTIVE DATE. For clarity, for a single LICENSED PRODUCT, this DEVELOPMENT MILESTONE will be paid for [***], reaching a maximum total of [***] for any one LICENSED PRODUCT.

(ii) A payment of [***] upon [***] for each LICENSED PRODUCT following the EFFECTIVE DATE in a [***]. For clarity, for a single LICENSED PRODUCT, this DEVELOPMENT MILESTONE will be paid for [***], reaching a maximum total of [***] for any one LICENSED PRODUCT.

(iii) A payment of [***] upon [***] for each of [***] for each a LICENSED PRODUCT. For clarity, for a single [***], this DEVELOPMENT MILESTONE will be paid for each of the first [***], reaching a maximum total of [***] for any one LICENSED PRODUCT.

17


4.2 Within [***] after [***] of each [***] during the term of this AGREEMENT, and until all LICENSED PRODUCTS have been sold or destroyed pursuant to Section 13.3(e), LICENSEE will deliver to FHCRC a true and accurate report, giving such particulars of the business conducted by LICENSEE and its SUBLICENSEES, if any exist, during the preceding [***] under this AGREEMENT as necessary for FHCRC to account for LICENSEE’s and its SUBLICENSEES’ payments hereunder. This report will include pertinent data, including, but not limited to:

[***]

After the first SALE of a LICENSED PRODUCT, these [***] reports are required even if no payments are due in connection therewith.

 

4.3

During the term of this AGREEMENT and for [***] thereafter, LICENSEE agrees to keep complete and accurate records of its and any of its SUBLICENSEES’ SALES and NET SALES in sufficient detail to enable the royalties and other payments due hereunder to be determined. LICENSEE agrees to permit an independent certified public accountant, reasonably acceptable to LICENSEE, to periodically examine, at FHCRC’s expense (except as provided below) and not more frequently than [***], LICENSEE’s books, ledgers, and records during regular business hours for the purpose of and to the

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

18


  extent necessary to verify any report required under this AGREEMENT within the [***] period immediately preceding such examination. Such accountant shall not disclose to FHCRC any information other than information relating to the accuracy of reports and calculations of amounts due FHCRC under this AGREEMENT, and such accountant shall be subject to the terms of Article XI. If any amounts due FHCRC are ultimately determined to have been underpaid in an amount equal to or greater than [***] of the total amount due during the period so examined, then LICENSEE will pay the cost of the examination plus [***].

 

4.4 Within [***] following [***], LICENSEE will deliver to FHCRC a written progress report as to LICENSEE’s (and any SUBLICENSEES’) efforts and accomplishments during the [***] in [***] commercializing LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER in the LICENSED TERRITORY and a summary of LICENSEE’s (and any of its SUBLICENSEES’) commercialization plans for [***].

 

4.5

If LICENSEE or any of its SUBLICENSEES (a) is or becomes a party to a bona fide license agreement with a third party, or (b) is a party to a bona fide license agreement with FHCRC pursuant to a separate written agreement entered into on or before November 19, 2014 (each such third party or FHCRC, as the case may be, a “STACKING LICENSOR”) for the right or license to a product or process under which LICENSEE or any such SUBLICENSEE, is obligated to pay to a STACKING LICENSOR any royalties on NET SALES of LICENSED PRODUCTS, LICENSEE and such SUBLICENSEES may offset [***] of any royalties paid to such STACKING LICENSOR against up to [***] of the royalties owed FHCRC under this AGREEMENT, provided, the royalties payable to FHCRC under this AGREEMENT shall not be reduced

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

19


  to less than [***] of NET SALES as a result of any STACKING LICENSOR payment offsets, and provided further that any such STACKING LICENSOR payment offsets arising out of third party license agreements executed prior to October 16, 2013 (“PRE-SIGNING THIRD PARTY LICENSE AGREEMENTS”), will be limited to the extent necessary to reflect an aggregate royalty rate on aggregate net sales under all such PRE-SIGNING THIRD PARTY LICENSE AGREEMENTS of no greater than [***]. It is understood that the MINIMUM ANNUAL ROYALTY payable to FHCRC will remain unchanged, notwithstanding the application of offsets under this Section 4.5. Any STACKING LICENSOR payments that may be applied as offsets as described above that are not applied in a given period may be carried forward until applied.

 

4.6 All amounts payable hereunder by LICENSEE will be paid in immediately available United States Dollars by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by FHCRC, without deductions for assessments, fees, or charges of any kind, except tax withholding required by law. Such amounts are not refundable and are not creditable against other fees and royalties. If the foreign currency cannot be converted to U.S. Dollars and exported from a country for any reason, LICENSEE shall notify FHCRC in writing, such amounts due hereunder in such currency shall be deemed converted at the exchange rate on the last business day of the reporting period to which a payment relates, as quoted in The Wall Street Journal (Western Edition), with payment made in such foreign currency or, at the election of FHCRC, payment in such foreign currency shall be deposited promptly in a recognized financial institution in that country for the benefit of FHCRC.

 

4.7 The applicable royalty rate set forth in Sections 4.1(e) above shall be reduced by [***] if the applicable LICENSED PRODUCT(S) are not within the scope of any VALID CLAIM in the country of manufacture or sale of such LICENSED PRODUCT(S) (as described in Section 2.7(c)).

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

20


4.8 Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no other payments shall be due with respect to the practice of LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER in the LICENSED FIELD or the development, manufacture, use or sale of any LICENSED PRODUCTS.

 

4.9 If LICENSEE fails to make any payment due under this AGREEMENT within [***] of the date upon which such payment is due, then interest shall accrue on such payment from the date such payment was originally due at a rate equal to [***] per month above the then-applicable prime commercial lending rate reported in the Wall Street Journal (Western Edition), or any similar daily business publication, or at the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower.

 

4.10 Any withholding or other tax that is required by law to be withheld with respect to payments owed by LICENSEE pursuant to this AGREEMENT shall be deducted by LICENSEE (or its SUBLICENSEES) from such payment prior to remittance, and paid over to the relevant taxing authorities when due. LICENSEE shall promptly furnish FHCRC evidence of any such taxes withheld and of payment thereof.

V. DILIGENCE

 

5.1 LICENSEE will use commercially reasonable efforts to research, develop and obtain regulatory approvals to market and sell at least one LICENSED PRODUCT.

 

5.2 LICENSEE will raise cumulative equity capital and/or grant funding in excess of [***] no later than [***].

 

5.3 LICENSEE will fund [***] through [***]. LICENSEE will, subject to Section 13.2(c), complete at least [***] such [***] prior to [***], and complete at least [***] other [***] prior to [***]. As used in this paragraph, “complete” means that the database for the applicable clinical trial has been locked.

VI. PATENTS AND INVENTIONS

 

6.1 FHCRC will control the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of PATENT RIGHTS, using patent counsel reasonably acceptable to the LICENSEE and LICENSEE will reimburse FHCRC’s [***] for the same. FHCRC shall keep LICENSEE reasonably informed regarding matters related to the prosecution and maintenance of each patent or patent application within the licensed PATENT RIGHTS and provide LICENSEE the reasonable opportunity to review and comment on material submissions to any patent office relating thereto. FHCRC will consider in good faith any recommendations made by LICENSEE relating to the preparation, filing, prosecution, maintenance and defense of PATENT RIGHTS covered by this Section 6.1 including, without limitation, in regards to where patent filings should be made. FHCRC will provide LICENSEE with copies of all of FHCRC’s material communications to and from the relevant patent offices with respect to the PATENT RIGHTS, including, without limitation, text of all patent applications and patents issued therein.

 

6.2

At any time, LICENSEE shall notify FHCRC if LICENSEE wishes to terminate its license to any of the patent applications or patents within the PATENT RIGHTS. LICENSEE shall identify such patent applications and patents to FHCRC in writing, in which event, [***] after receipt of such written notice by FHCRC, (a) LICENSEE’s license to such patent applications and patents shall terminate and such identified patent applications and patents shall no longer be deemed licensed PATENT RIGHTS under this AGREEMENT, and (b) LICENSEE shall have no further obligation to pay any costs

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

22


  and expenses incurred by FHCRC for the prosecution and maintenance of such identified patents and patent applications. For the avoidance of doubt, FHCRC may independently, and at its own expense, maintain any such patent applications and patents after such a termination by LICENSEE, and LICENSEE will have no rights hereunder with respect to such patent applications and patents.

 

6.3 LICENSEE (and its SUBLICENSEES) shall have the right, on a LICENSED PRODUCT-by-LICENSED PRODUCT basis, to select a patent within the PATENT RIGHTS to seek a term extension for or supplementary protection certificate under in accordance with the applicable laws of any country. Each party agrees to execute any documents and to take any additional actions as the other party may reasonably request in connection therewith. LICENSEE shall consult with FHCRC and consider its views in good faith before applying for a patent term extension or supplementary protection certificate for any LICENSED PRODUCT.

 

6.4 LICENSEE agrees that all packaging containing individual LICENSED PRODUCT(S), documentation therefor and, when possible, for actual LICENSED PRODUCT(S) sold by LICENSEE and/or any SUBLICENSEE will be permanently and legibly marked with the number of any applicable patent(s) licensed hereunder in accordance with each country’s patent laws, including Title 35 of the United States Code.

 

6.5

In the event LICENSEE intends to challenge the validity or enforceability of any of the PATENT RIGHTS, LICENSEE will (a) give FHCRC [***] prior written notice; (b) continue to make all payments required hereunder directly to FHCRC without the right to pay into escrow or other account any such amounts; (c) reimburse all otherwise unreimbursed costs and expenses of FHCRC regarding such challenge including

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

23


  attorneys’ fees; (d) from the date of the decision by the District Court upholding all or part of claims within PATENT RIGHTS, until the end of the Term, make payments under Section 4.1(e) at [***] the royalty rate otherwise required in Section 4.1(e). For purposes of clarity, [***] agrees that [***] made to FHCRC or to be made to FHCRC is [***] as the result of any challenge by LICENSEE to the validity or enforceability of the PATENT RIGHTS [***].

VII. INFRINGEMENT BY THIRD PARTIES

 

7.1 LICENSEE shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to enforce, [***] any patent exclusively licensed hereunder against infringement by third parties. After reimbursement of LICENSEE’s [***] legal costs and expenses related to such enforcement, the balance of any recovery shall be distributed as follows: in any suit initiated by LICENSEE, any recovery in excess of litigation costs shall be [***]. If LICENSEE does not file suit against a substantial infringer within [***] of having firm evidence of any such infringement, then FHCRC may, at its sole discretion [***], enforce any patent licensed hereunder on behalf of itself and LICENSEE, and after reimbursement of reasonable legal costs and expenses related to such enforcement, the balance of any recovery shall be distributed as follows: [***] to FHCRC and [***] to LICENSEE.

 

7.2

In any suit or dispute involving an infringer of the PATENT RIGHTS, the parties agree to cooperate fully with each other. At the request and expense of the party bringing suit, the other party will permit access during regular business hours, to all relevant personnel, records, papers, information, samples, specimens, and the like in its possession. In any suit, action or other proceeding in connection with the enforcement and/or defense of the

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

24


  licensed PATENT RIGHTS, the non-controlling party shall, at the expense of the controlling party, cooperate fully, including, without limitation, by joining as a party and executing such documents as the controlling party may reasonably request.

 

7.3 Neither party shall settle any patent infringement claims against a third party in a manner that diminishes the rights or interests of the other party without the prior written consent of the other party.

VIII. INDEMNIFICATION

 

8.1 LICENSEE agrees to hold harmless, indemnify and defend FHCRC, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives and agents from and against any claims, demands, causes of action, damages, suits, judgments, liens, penalties, fines, losses, expenses, costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent caused by, arising out of, or resulting from or alleged to be caused by, arising out of or resulting from claims or demands brought by third parties in connection with [***], except to the extent caused by, arising out of, or resulting from [***]. FHCRC shall promptly notify LICENSEE of any such claim, demand, action or suit and allow LICENSEE to handle and control the defense thereof. LICENSEE shall have the sole right to settle such claim, demand, cause of action or suit, but no settlement shall be made that does not include an unconditional release of FHCRC, without FHCRC’s prior written consent.

 

8.2

FHCRC agrees to hold harmless, indemnify and defend LICENSEE, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives and agents from and against any claims, demands, causes of action, damages, suits, judgments, liens, penalties, fines, losses, expenses, costs of suit and reasonable attorneys’ fees, to the extent caused by, arising out of, or resulting from or alleged to be caused by, arising out of or resulting from claims or

25


  demands brought by third parties arising from [***], except to the extent caused by, arising out of, or resulting from [***]. LICENSEE shall promptly notify FHCRC of any such claim, demand, action or suit and allow FHCRC to handle and control the defense thereof. FHCRC shall have the sole right to settle such claim, demand, cause of action or suit, but no settlement shall be made that does not include an unconditional release of LICENSEE, without LICENSEE’s prior written consent.

 

8.3 Except with respect to indemnification and confidentiality obligations hereunder, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS OR EXPECTED SAVINGS OR OTHER ECONOMIC LOSSES, OR FOR INJURY TO PERSONS OR PROPERTY) ARISING OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ITS SUBJECT MATTER, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE OTHER PARTY KNOWS OR SHOULD KNOW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IX. INSURANCE

 

9.1

Beginning at the time when any LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER is being used in human clinical trials or SOLD by LICENSEE or a SUBLICENSEE, LICENSEE shall, at its sole cost and expense, procure and maintain customary commercial general liability insurance in amounts not less than [***], and LICENSEE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the FHCRC, its directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives and agents named as additional insureds. Such commercial general liability insurance shall provide: (i) product liability coverage; (ii) broad form contractual

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

26


  liability coverage for LICENSEE’s indemnification under this AGREEMENT; and (iii) coverage for litigation costs. The minimum amounts of insurance coverage required herein will not be construed to create a limit of LICENSEE’s liability with respect to its indemnification under this AGREEMENT.

 

9.2 At FHCRC’s request, LICENSEE shall provide FHCRC with written evidence of such insurance within [***]. Additionally, at FHCRC’s request, LICENSEE shall provide FHCRC with written notice at least [***] prior to the cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance.

 

9.3 LICENSEE shall maintain such commercial general liability insurance beyond the expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT during: (a) the period that any LICENSED PRODUCT developed pursuant to this AGREEMENT is being commercially distributed or sold by LICENSEE or by a SUBLICENSEE or agent of LICENSEE; and (b) the [***] period immediately after such period.

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

X. USE OF NAMES

 

10.1 Neither party will use the name of the other party or the name of the other party’s divisions, affiliates, employees, products, services, trademarks or service marks for promotional purposes in printed materials without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however this section will not be interpreted to prevent (a) disclosure of the existence of this AGREEMENT that either party needs to disclose in the course of its routine business (e.g., the submission of grant and contract proposals to extramural sponsors) or in practicing its rights hereunder, or (b) disclosure of information that must be disclosed as part of regulatory submissions or as otherwise required by applicable laws and/or regulations.

XI. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND PUBLICATION

 

11.1

FHCRC and LICENSEE each agree that all information contained in documents that are either marked “confidential” or that a reasonable person would understand are confidential based on the nature of the information contained therein, and provided by one party to the other (a) are to be received and kept in strict confidence, (b) are to be used only for the purposes of this AGREEMENT, and (c) will not be disclosed by the recipient party (except as required by law or court order), its agents or employees without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use no less stringent than set forth herein, LICENSEE may disclose the PATENT RIGHTS, TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS and related FHCRC information to actual and prospective investors, lenders, SUBLICENSEES, business partners, acquirors, AFFILIATES, consultants and advisors. With respect to any improper disclosure of confidential information of FHCRC by a person or entity that

 

28


  received such information from LICENSEE that would constitute a breach by LICENSEE hereunder if disclosed by LICENSEE, LICENSEE shall be responsible for any such improper disclosure. The foregoing obligations shall not apply to the extent that the recipient party can establish by competent written proof that such information:

 

  (a) was in the public domain at the time of disclosure; or

 

  (b) later became part of the public domain through no act or omission of the recipient party, its employees, agents, successors or assigns; or

 

  (c) was lawfully disclosed to the recipient party by a third party having the right to disclose it; or

 

  (d) was already known by the recipient party at the time of disclosure; or

 

  (e) was independently developed by the recipient party without use of the other party’s confidential information.

If the recipient party is required by law or regulation to disclose confidential information owned or disclosed to it by the other party including, without limitation, by discovery, subpoena or other legal or administrative process, the recipient party agrees to provide the other party prompt notice of the required disclosure to permit the other party, at its option and expense, to seek an appropriate protective order or waive the requirements of this AGREEMENT. If no protective order or waiver is obtained, such disclosure may be made but only to the limited extent legally required. The recipient party will not oppose any action by the other party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other assurance that confidential information which must be disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment.

 

29


11.2 Each party’s obligation of confidence hereunder will be fulfilled by using at least the same degree of care with the other party’s confidential information as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but always at least a reasonable degree of care. This obligation will exist while this AGREEMENT is in force and for a period of [***] thereafter.

 

11.3 FHCRC reserves the right to publish the general scientific findings from research related to LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER, but not confidential information of LICENSEE or its AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES. FHCRC will submit the abstract or manuscript of any proposed manuscript, scientific publication or any other similar public disclosure to LICENSEE at least [***] before public disclosure thereof, and LICENSEE shall have the right to review and comment upon the proposed public disclosure in order to protect LICENSEE’s confidential information and the patentability of any inventions disclosed therein. Upon LICENSEE’s request, public disclosure shall be delayed up to [***] additional [***] to enable LICENSEE to secure adequate intellectual property protection of any patentable subject matter contained therein that would otherwise be affected by the publication and (b) all confidential information of LICENSEE or its AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES shall be deleted from such disclosure.

XII. ASSIGNMENT

 

12.1

This AGREEMENT may not be assigned by LICENSEE without the prior written consent of FHCRC; provided (a) either party may assign this AGREEMENT without such consent to any AFFILIATE, and (b) LICENSEE may assign this AGREEMENT in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of LICENSEE’s assets to a third party or a merger, consolidation or reorganization of LICENSEE, provided, in each case that

 

[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

30


  such party is in good standing under this AGREEMENT at such time, and that the entity to which the AGREEMENT is assigned agrees in writing to fulfill all of such party’s obligations under this AGREEMENT.

XIII. TERM AND TERMINATION

 

13.1 Subject to earlier termination as provided herein below, the term of this AGREEMENT is from the EFFECTIVE DATE to the last of 1) expiration of the last-to-expire granted patent, on a country-by-country basis, within the PATENT RIGHTS that covers a LICENSED PRODUCT in the country in which the LICENSED PRODUCT is sold, or 2) fifteen (15) years following the regulatory approval of the first LICENSED PRODUCT. After expiration of the AGREEMENT at the conclusion of such term, absent earlier termination, the license to LICENSEE will be deemed to be perpetual and fully paid.

 

13.2 Subject to any rights herein which explicitly survive termination, as provided below, this AGREEMENT will terminate in its entirety:

 

  (a) automatically, if LICENSEE becomes bankrupt or insolvent and/or if the business of LICENSEE is placed in the hands of a receiver, assignee, or trustee, whether by voluntary act of LICENSEE or otherwise;

 

  (b) upon forty-five (45) calendar days’ prior written notice from FHCRC, if LICENSEE breaches or defaults on any obligations under Article IV, unless, before the end of such forty-five (45) calendar day notice period, LICENSEE has cured the default or breach and so notifies FHCRC, stating the manner of the cure;

 

  (c)

upon ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written notice from FHCRC, if LICENSEE breaches or defaults on any other obligation under this AGREEMENT, including

 

31


  LICENSEE’s diligence obligations in Sections 5.1, 5.2 or 5.3 unless, before the end of the such ninety (90) calendar day notice period, LICENSEE has cured the default or breach and so notifies FHCRC, stating the manner of the cure; provided, however, that if LICENSEE fails to achieve the milestones described in Section 5.3 within the timeframes specified due to causes that are beyond the reasonable control of LICENSEE (e.g., regulatory action or delay, low patient enrollment, force majeure, and delays caused by FHCRC) notwithstanding LICENSEE’s reasonable, good faith efforts to achieve those milestones, then LICENSEE will not be deemed in default or breach of this AGREEMENT and the timeframe for achieving those milestones will be deemed automatically extended by the time of the delay reasonably attributable to the causes that were beyond LICENSEE’s control as long as LICENSEE diligently and continuously pursues the achievement of such milestones. Except as provided above, failure by LICENSEE or its SUBLICENSEES to achieve the milestones within the extended timeframe or to diligently and continuously purse the achievement of the milestones shall be a breach of Section 5.3;

 

  (d) at any time by mutual written agreement between LICENSEE and FHCRC subject to any terms herein which survive termination;

 

  (e) on written notice from FHCRC, if LICENSEE has defaulted or been late by more than three (3) days on its payment obligations pursuant to the terms of this AGREEMENT on any two (2) occasions in a particular twelve (12) month period;

 

32


  (f) by LICENSEE, with 90 days’ notice to FHCRC with respect to any country or aspect of the LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER as provided in Section 6.2 or as to the entirety of the AGREEMENT; and

 

  (g) on thirty (30) calendar days’ written notice from FHCRC in the event that LICENSEE provides notice to FHCRC of its intent to challenge, or actually challenges, the validity or enforceability of any of the PATENT RIGHTS.

 

13.3 Upon expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT:

 

  (a) nothing herein will be construed to release either party from any obligation maturing prior to the effective date of the termination;

 

  (b) all sublicenses, and rights of AFFILIATES and SUBLICENSEES, will terminate as of the effective date of termination, subject to Section 13.3(e) below, provided, however, that if at the effective date of termination a SUBLICENSEE is in good standing with regard to its obligations under its sublicense and agrees to assume all obligations of LICENSEE hereunder, then, at the request of the SUBLICENSEE, such sublicense shall survive such termination or expiration of this AGREEMENT.

 

  (c) LICENSEE will, on the effective date of termination, tender payment for all accrued royalties and other payments due as of the effective date of termination.

 

  (d) The provisions of Sections 4 and 7 (with respect to fees and other amounts accruing prior to termination, and in connection with sales after termination pursuant to Section 13.3(e) below), 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 shall survive expiration or termination of this AGREEMENT;

 

33


  (e) LICENSEE may, within [***] of the effective date of the termination, sell all LICENSED PRODUCTS and parts therefor that it has on hand at the date of termination, if LICENSEE pays the earned royalty thereon and any other amounts due pursuant to Article IV and otherwise complies with the terms of this AGREEMENT; and

 

  (f) Except as provided in Section 13.3(e), LICENSEE agrees to cease and desist any and all use of the LICENSED SUBJECT MATTER upon termination of this AGREEMENT.

 

13.4 Upon termination, but not expiration, of this AGREEMENT:

 

  (a) LICENSEE agrees upon request to enter into good faith negotiations with FHCRC’s future licensee(s) for the purpose of granting licensing rights to said modifications or improvements in a timely fashion and under commercially reasonable terms;

Exhibit 10.27

SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (“ Sublease ”) is made as of the 20th day of November, 2014 between Seattle Biomedical Research Institute, a Washington nonprofit corporation having a principal address at 307 Westlake Ave N., Suite 500, Seattle, WA 98109-5219 (“ Sublandlord ”), and Juno Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation having a principal address at 307 Westlake Avenue N., Suite 300, Seattle, WA 98109-5219 (“ Subtenant ”).

Sublandlord, as assignee of Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center, a Washington nonprofit corporation (“ Original Tenant ”) is the tenant under that certain lease agreement with 307 Westlake LLC, a Washington limited liability company as landlord (“ Landlord ”) (the “ Master Lease ”), for space (the “ Premises ”) located in the building (the “ Building ”) described below. The Premises consists of approximately 48,274 square feet of biomedical laboratory research and office space located on the second and third floors of the Building.

 

Building:  

307 Westlake Avenue North

Seattle, Washington

A copy of the Master Lease is attached as Exhibit A .

The Building, and the land on which the Building is located, and the common areas in the Building and on the land are referred to collectively as the Property (the “ Property ”).

In consideration of the covenants and promises contained in this Sublease, the parties agree as follows:

1. Sublease Premises . Sublandlord agrees to sublease to Subtenant, and Subtenant agrees to sublease from Sublandlord, 17,841 rentable square feet of the 26,212 rentable square feet located on the second floor of the Building, measured pursuant to BOMA standards of measurement, which is about sixty-eight percent (68%) of the second floor of the Building (the “ Sublease Premises ”). The Sublease Premises are depicted in Exhibit B . Subtenant has no right under this Sublease to use or access any areas of the Building or Property outside of the Sublease Premises except for rights of ingress and egress over and rights to use common areas, including common entryways, corridors and elevators.

2. Term . This Sublease shall commence upon the date that Sublandlord delivers possession of the Sublease Premises to Subtenant in accordance with the requirements of this Lease (the “ Commencement Date ”) and, subject to earlier termination in accordance with the terms of this Sublease, shall terminate on June 29, 2017 (the “ Expiration Date ”) (the period between the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date is referred to herein as the “ Term ”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Commencement Date be prior to November 1, 2014. Sublandlord’s failure to deliver possession on or before December 3, 2014, shall not affect the validity of this Sublease or the obligation of Subtenant hereunder, and Sublandlord

 

1


shall not be subject to any liability for its failure to deliver possession of the full Sublease Premises on or before December 3, 2014; except that Subtenant shall be entitled to two (2) days of free Rent for every day of delay beyond December 3, 2014, unless such delay is due to Subtenant’s negligence or intentional misconduct.

Subtenant may terminate this Sublease with respect to all, but not less than all, of the Sublease Premises effective any date following March 31, 2016 by providing at least one hundred and twenty (120) days’ prior written notice to the Sublandlord of its election to early terminate this Sublease.

If, through exercise of an extension option, or otherwise, Sublandlord has the right to possession of the Premises for at least twelve (12) month’s beyond the Expiration Date, then (provided Subtenant is not then in default) Subtenant may, by written notice delivered to Sublandlord at least six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date, request to extend the Term of this Sublease for up to 364 additional days following the Expiration Date (the “ Extended Term ”); it shall be within Sublandlord’s sole and absolute discretion whether to grant the request for the Extended Term, and Sublandlord shall notify Subtenant of Sublandlord’s decision within thirty (30) days after receipt of the extension request. Subtenant’s tenancy during the Extended Term, if any, shall be on the same terms and conditions as described herein except (i) Subtenant shall have no additional rights to extend the Term, and (ii) Monthly Rent shall be at One Hundred and Three Percent (103%) of the then-current Monthly Rent.

3. Rent .

3.1 Monthly Rent . Commencing on the Commencement Date, and continuing through the Term, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord monthly rent (the “ Monthly Rent ”) in advance on the first day of each month without any prior demand and without any deduction or offset whatsoever, as follows:

 

Period

   Annual Rate
Per Square Foot
     Monthly
Rent
 

Commencement Date – Month 12*

   $ 42.00       $ 62,443.50   

Month 13-24

   $ 43.26       $ 64,316.81   

Months 25-Expiration Date

   $ 44.56       $ 66,249.58   

 

* Regardless of the Commencement Date, “Month 12” means and refers to the month ending November 30, 2015.

Monthly Rent for any partial month at the beginning or the end of the Term shall be prorated in proportion to the number of days in such month.

3.2 Additional Rent . During the Term, in addition to paying the Monthly Rent specified in Section 3.1 above, Subtenant shall pay Subtenant’s Share of the annual “Operating Cost Share Rent,” “Tax Share Rent,” and “Additional Rent” (all as defined in Section 2(a) of the

 

2


Master Lease) allocated to the tenants of the Building under the Master Lease and payable during the Term. “ Subtenant’s Share ” shall mean sixty-eight percent (68.0%) , based upon the ratio of the number of rentable square feet of the Sublease Premises to the total number of rentable square feet on the second floor of the Building (i.e., 17,841 rentable square feet divided by 26,212 rentable square feet). Such payments by Subtenant, together with any and all other amounts payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord pursuant to the terms of this Sublease (not including Monthly Rent), are hereinafter referred to as the “ Additional Rent .” The calculation, payment and reconciliation of the Additional Rent payments by Subtenant and Sublandlord shall be made in the same manner as between Landlord and Tenant under Section 2(c) of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall, at Sublandlord’s option, credit or refund to Subtenant Subtenant’s Share of any Additional Rent overpayments received by Sublandlord under the Master Lease and shall do so within at least 30 days after receipt of overpaid funds from Landlord, and Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord any Additional Rent underpayments prior to the date due from Sublandlord under the Master Lease.

Additionally, the Subtenant shall pay monthly, as Additional Rent, its proportionate share (68%) of the Sublandlord’s second floor engineering and facility services charges (the “E&F Charges”) contract which are billed by the Landlord to the Sublandlord separately from the “Operating Cost Share Rent” under a separate contract between the Landlord and the Sublandlord (the “E&F Contract”). In 2014, the Subtenant’s proportionate share of E&F Charges is Eight Hundred and Thirty-five Dollars ($835) per month. The E&F Contract has an escalation of three percent (3%) in 2015. The Sublandlord and Landlord intend to renegotiate the E&F Contract in 2016.

If any utilities serving the Sublease Premises are separately metered, Subtenant shall pay all costs of the same attributable to the Sublease Premises directly to the providing utility. Subtenant shall also pay Sublandlord for (i) expenses incurred by Sublandlord to the extent that they relate directly to the maintenance, operation or repair of the Sublease Premises and to no other portion of the Property, and (ii) Subtenant’s pro rata share, which is 68%, based on the ratio of the number of rentable square feet of the Sublease Premises to the total number of rentable square feet in the Premises, of other reasonable expenses incurred by Sublandlord during the Term which are directly related to maintaining, operating and repairing the Building, to the extent such expenses are not included in the items set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 3.2. The expenses described in the preceding two sentences shall be included within “Additional Rent.” All invoices for such costs shall be paid by Subtenant within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice. The expenses described in the second sentence of this paragraph shall not include, without limitation, any expenses of the type and kind which are described in Section 2(d)(ii) of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall, at Sublandlord’s option, credit or refund to Subtenant any overpayments received by Sublandlord under this paragraph and shall do so within at least 30 days after receipt of overpaid funds from Landlord.

Subtenant and Sublandlord may enter into a separate agreement, at the Sublandlord’s sole discretion, for additional services to be provided by the Sublandlord at the Subtenant’s additional cost.

3.3 Payment . Any and all sums Subtenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Sublease shall be construed as rent obligations in addition to the Monthly Rent set forth in this

 

3


Sublease. At Subtenant’s election and expense, Subtenant may pay Sublandlord electronically by ACH or similar means. If, at any time during the term of this Sublease, Subtenant has tendered payment by check and Subtenant’s bank has returned more than one such payment for any reason, including insufficient funds, Sublandlord may, at its option, require that all future payments be made by cashier’s check. Sublandlord shall make timely payments of any and all sums Sublandlord is obligated to pay under the Master Lease.

4. Refundable Security Deposit . By not later than December 1, 2014, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord the sum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), which shall be held by Sublandlord as a refundable security deposit for Subtenant’s performance of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Sublease (the “ Security Deposit ”). If Subtenant defaults under any provision of this Sublease, Sublandlord may (but shall not be required to) use, apply or retain all or any part of this Security Deposit for the payment of Rent or Additional Rent or to reimburse Sublandlord for any amount Sublandlord may spend by reason of Subtenant’s default or to compensate Sublandlord for any loss or damage Sublandlord may suffer because of Subtenant’s default. If any portion of the Security Deposit is so used or applied, Subtenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand, deposit cash with Sublandlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Sublandlord is not required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Subtenant is not entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. If Subtenant is not then in default under this Sublease, Sublandlord shall return the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof, to Subtenant within thirty (30) days after the later of (a) the termination or expiration of the Sublease Term, and (b) the date Subtenant vacates the Sublease Premises.

5. Personal Property; Alterations to the Sublease Premises . Sublandlord shall provide Subtenant a list of available inventory of furniture, fixtures and equipment that Sublandlord is willing to leave at the Sublease Premises for use by the Subtenant (collectively, the “Available Items”), and Subtenant shall identify in writing to Sublandlord prior to taking possession of the Sublease Premises which items it desires to utilize at the Sublease Premises over the Term (collectively, “ Furniture and Fixtures ”). Sublandlord makes no representations or warranties and shall have no obligations with respect to the Furniture and Fixtures. Subtenant shall be solely responsible at its cost for maintaining, repairing and/or replacing (with items of at least equivalent value and function) the Furniture and Fixtures during the Term, and shall return the same to Sublandlord in at least equivalent condition and repair as received at the end of the Term, subject to normal wear and tear and except for damage by fire or other casualty that is not Subtenant’s obligation to repair. Any Available Items that are not Furniture and Fixtures shall be removed from the Sublease Premises by Sublandlord.

Subtenant’s trade fixtures, furniture and equipment and other personal property will remain the property of Subtenant. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 5, Subtenant shall not make any improvements in or alterations or additions (collectively, “ Alterations ”) to the Sublease Premises without first obtaining Sublandlord’s written consent. All Alterations shall be at the sole cost and expense of Subtenant and, except for Subtenant’s trade fixtures, furniture and equipment and other personal property (which shall remain the property of Subtenant and which shall be removed by Subtenant prior to the expiration or termination of this Sublease) and except as otherwise agreed in writing by Sublandlord and Subtenant, shall become the property of

 

4


Sublandlord and shall remain in and be surrendered with the Sublease Premises at the termination of this Sublease. Sublandlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, may elect to require Subtenant to remove from the Sublease Premises any or all Alterations upon the termination of the Sublease, and upon any such election Subtenant shall promptly do so and shall repair all damages occasioned by such removal and return the Sublease Premises to their original condition to Sublandlord’s reasonable satisfaction, normal wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty or condemnation that is not Subtenant’s obligation to repair excepted, all at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant may at the time of requesting Sublandlord’s consent to a specific Alteration also request in writing that Sublandlord elect at such time as to whether Sublandlord will require that Subtenant remove such specific Alteration at the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease; if Subtenant so requests in writing, Sublandlord agrees to elect in writing whether Subtenant must remove such specific Alteration at the same time that Sublandlord approves of the specific Alteration, and unless Sublandlord elects that Subtenant must remove such specific Alteration, then Subtenant shall not be required to remove such specific Alterations.

All Alterations undertaken by Subtenant shall be performed by a contractor approved in advance by Sublandlord, according to plans approved in advance by Sublandlord. Subtenant shall also obtain all permits required in connection with any Alterations undertaken by Subtenant. Subtenant shall cause all work to be done in a good and workmanlike manner using materials equal to or better than those used in the construction of the Sublease Premises and shall comply with or cause compliance with all laws and with any direction given by any public officer pursuant to law, including, without limitation, Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ ADA ”), as the same are in effect on the date hereof and may be hereafter modified, amended or supplemented. During construction, Subtenant or its general contractor shall procure and maintain in effect all insurance coverages required under the Master Lease for construction projects and any additional insurance coverage required by Sublandlord at its reasonable discretion.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, Subtenant may make non-structural, non-mechanical and non-electrical Alterations that cost less than Ten Thousand and No/100 ($10,000) in each instance without Sublandlord’s consent; except that if such non-structural Alterations include replacing any carpeting or painting any walls within the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall obtain Sublandlord’s prior approval of the carpet and/or paint. Subtenant may also install locks and security equipment without Sublandlord’s consent, provided Sublandlord is provided with a copy of all keys or access cards.

Sublandlord’s consent and approval under this Section 5 shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6. Condition of Sublease Premises . By not later than December 3, 2014, Sublandlord shall complete the Sublandlord’s work listed in Exhibit B to this Sublease and shall cause the Sublease Premises to be in broom-clean condition and to be properly decommissioned in accordance with all applicable laws, codes and regulations. Sublandlord shall promptly deliver copies of all decommissioning reports to Subtenant. Within two (2) business days following the Commencement Date, Subtenant and Sublandlord shall together undertake a walk-through

 

5


inspection of the Sublease Premises for purposes of confirming that the Sublease Premises are in a broom clean condition (and Sublandlord shall correct any failure to be in such broom clean condition). Subject to the foregoing requirement, Subtenant accepts the Sublease Premises in their condition as of the Commencement Date, AS IS, WHERE-IS, AND WITH ALL FAULTS. Subtenant acknowledges that neither Sublandlord nor any agent of Sublandlord has made any representation as to the condition of the Sublease Premises or their suitability for the conduct of Subtenant’s business. Subtenant and Sublandlord expressly agree that there are and shall be no implied warranties of merchantability, habitability, fitness for a particular purpose or any other kind arising out of this Sublease, and there are no warranties that extend beyond those expressly set forth in this Sublease. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions in this Section 6 do not relieve Landlord or Sublandlord of their respective maintenance and repair obligations under and as expressly set forth in the Master Lease and this Sublease.

7. Landlord’s and Sublandlord’s Services . Under the Master Lease, Landlord is obligated to provide Sublandlord with certain operating services, maintenance and repairs (collectively, “ Landlord’s Services ”). To the extent Landlord’s Services apply to the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall have the benefit of such services. Sublandlord has no obligation to furnish any of Landlord’s Services and will not be liable for any disruption or failure of such services; however, Sublandlord will provide Subtenant with at least 24 hours’ prior notice (except in the case of an emergency) if Sublandlord intends to disrupt any such services and use reasonable efforts to schedule such disruptions at a mutually convenient time, and Sublandlord will promptly advise Subtenant if Sublandlord receives notice from Landlord (and promptly following the execution of this Sublease will submit a request to Landlord that Landlord notify Subtenant directly) that Landlord intends to disrupt any such services. Such notices shall be via email, phone or in-person to Geoff Quinn or his designee. Upon receipt of written request from Subtenant, Sublandlord shall make demand upon Landlord to take all appropriate action for the correction of any defect, inadequacy or insufficiency in Landlord’s provision of Landlord’s Services.

Provided that Subtenant’s use is not deemed excessive by the Sublandlord, Subtenant shall have use of the RO/DI water, natural gas, house vacuum (provided Subtenant uses double flask liquid separation), and compressed air (requires piping at Subtenant’s expense) that are available at the Premises, at no additional charge unless otherwise noted. Subtenant understands that no phone system or server capacity exists for Subtenant’s use; Subtenant must contract for such services directly from the phone and internet service providers. Each of Subtenant and Sublandlord shall have access to and the right to use the rack space in the MDF room on the second floor of the Building, and Sublandlord may continue to occupy throughout the Term of the Sublease the rack space that it occupies as of the Commencement Date. Sublandlord shall not be liable for disruption or failure of services listed in this Section 7.

8. Subtenant’s and Sublandlord’s Maintenance and Repairs .

8.1 Maintenance of Sublease Premises . Subtenant shall, at its expense, maintain the Sublease Premises, including, without limitation, all improvements to the Sublease Premises, in their condition as of the Commencement Date and generally in good order, condition and repair to the same extent required of Sublandlord under the Master Lease. For

 

6


purposes of clarification, the Sublease Premises extends to the demising walls, structural ceilings, windows, doors and floors, but does not extend beyond, above or below the aforementioned boundaries.

8.2. Repair of Building and Common Areas . Except for repairs required to be made by Landlord under the Master Lease, all repairs to the Premises other than the Sublease Premises shall be coordinated by and through Sublandlord. To the extent the repairs are not paid for from Landlord’s insurance or are not otherwise required to be made by or paid for by Landlord under the terms of the Master Lease, the costs of repair will be paid in the following manner:

(a) The Sublease Premises . Subtenant shall pay for any repairs conducted in the Sublease Premises during the Term, except to the extent that damage was caused by Sublandlord or Landlord or their respective employees, guests or agents.

(b) The Premises other than the Sublease Premises . Subtenant shall pay for any repairs conducted in the Property to the extent that damage was caused by Subtenant or an employee, guest, or agent of Subtenant.

In no event shall Sublandlord or Landlord have any liability or responsibility for repairs with respect to Subtenant’s personal property, fixtures, furniture and equipment, which shall be Subtenant’s sole obligation to insure and repair.

Subtenant shall promptly notify Sublandlord of any condition in the Property that is in need of repair.

9. Use . Subtenant shall use the Sublease Premises for biomedical laboratory research and related general office and administrative services and for no other purposes whatsoever. Subtenant shall comply with the use restrictions and obligations set out in Section 6 and Section 7 of the Master Lease.

10. Signage . Sublandlord, at its cost, shall provide Subtenant with building-standard directory signage, and Subtenant may, at its cost, display signage inside the Sublease Premises and not visible from its exterior (subject to prior approval by Sublandlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and by Landlord). No other sign, picture, advertisement or notice shall be displayed, inscribed, painted or affixed to any door, wall or woodwork without Sublandlord’s prior consent.

11. Locks . No additional locks shall be placed upon any doors of the Sublease Premises or Premises without Sublandlord’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Landlord’s consent. At the termination of the Sublease, Subtenant shall surrender to Sublandlord all keys and security cards to the Sublease Premises and Premises.

 

7


12. Defaults . Any of the following occurrences shall constitute a default by Subtenant:

12.1 Failure to Pay Money When Due . If Subtenant fails to make any payment of rent, additional security deposit or any other payment required to be made by Subtenant hereunder, as and when due, and such amount remains unpaid for a five (5) day period after Subtenant’s receipt of written notice from Sublandlord.

12.2 Other Breaches . If Subtenant fails to observe or perform any other provision of this Sublease, including compliance with Landlord’s Rules and Regulations, and fails to cure such breach within the twenty (20) day period after Subtenant’s receipt of written notice from Sublandlord; provided, however, that if more than twenty (20) days are reasonably required for such cure then Subtenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Subtenant commences such cure within such 20-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure and completes the cure within the sixty (60) day period after Subtenant’s receipt of written notice from Sublandlord. However, such cure period shall not apply to Sublandlord’s right to exercise remedies under Section 13.1 with respect to Subtenant’s breach of its obligations to maintain unexpired insurance coverages in full compliance with Sections 5 and 14 of this Sublease.

Sublandlord shall be in default under this Sublease if Sublandlord fails to observe or perform any provision of this Sublease, and fails to cure such breach within the thirty (30) day period after receipt of written notice of default from Subtenant; provided, however, that if more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for such cure then Sublandlord shall not be deemed to be in default if Sublandlord commences such cure within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure and completes the cure within the sixty (60) day period after receipt of written notice of default.

13. Remedies . If Subtenant commits a default under this Sublease, and such default is not cured within the applicable cure period, Sublandlord may do any one or more of the following, in addition to pursuing its remedies under law or the Master Lease:

13.1 Cure the default and charge the costs to Subtenant, in which case Subtenant shall pay such costs as Additional Rent promptly on demand.

13.2 Terminate this Sublease.

13.3 Enter and take possession of the Sublease Premises and remove Subtenant and all other persons and any property from the Sublease Premises, with process of law.

13.4 Hold Subtenant liable for and collect Rent and other indebtedness owed by Subtenant to Sublandlord or rent that would have accrued during the remainder of the term had there been no default, less any sums Sublandlord receives by reletting the Sublease Premises.

13.5 Hold Subtenant liable for that part of the following sums paid by Sublandlord that are attributable to the remainder of the Term:

(a) Customary broker’s fees incurred by Sublandlord in reletting part or all of the Sublease Premises;

 

8


(b) The cost of removing and storing Subtenant’s property;

(c) The cost of repairs and alterations reasonably necessary to put the Sublease Premises in a condition reasonably acceptable to a new subtenant; and

(d) Other necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by Sublandlord in enforcing its remedies under this Sublease and/or at law.

Sublandlord shall mitigate its damages by making reasonable efforts to relet the Sublease Premises on reasonable terms. Sublandlord may relet for a shorter or longer period of time than the Sublease Term and make reasonably necessary repairs and alterations. All sums collected from reletting shall be applied first to Sublandlord’s expenses of reletting, and then to the payment of amounts due from Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease.

14. Insurance . During the Term, Subtenant shall maintain with respect to the Sublease Premises, at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense, any and all types and levels of insurance required to be carried by Sublandlord under the Master Lease. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that it will be required to pay as Additional Rent under Section 3.2 its proportionate share of any insurance that Sublandlord is required to pay for under the Master Lease. Subtenant shall name Sublandlord and Landlord under the Master Lease as additional insureds on its commercial general liability policy and shall provide Sublandlord and Landlord with a Certificate of Insurance certifying said coverage. All insurance carried by Subtenant shall be primary and noncontributory with respect to any insurance carried by Sublandlord or Landlord. Subtenant shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds payable from Subtenant’s insurance with respect to loss of or damage to Subtenant’s trade fixtures, furniture and equipment or other personal property.

A certificate of all insurance coverage described in the preceding providing for 30 days’ notice prior to cancellation will be furnished to Sublandlord in a form satisfactory to Sublandlord prior to the Commencement Date of this Sublease. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any such policies, new certificates of insurance (bearing notations evidencing the payment of renewal premiums) shall be delivered to Sublandlord. Such policies shall further provide that not less than thirty (30) days written notice shall be given to Sublandlord before such policy may be canceled.

During the Term, Sublandlord shall maintain the types and levels of insurance required to be carried by Sublandlord under the Master Lease.

15. Waiver of Recovery . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Sublease, in connection with this Sublease, Sublandlord and Subtenant each release and relieve the other, and waive their entire rights of subrogation and/or recovery for, loss or damage to property located within or constituting a part or all of the Property to the extent that the loss or damage is covered by (a) the injured party’s insurance, or (b) the insurance the injured party is required to carry under Section 14, whichever is greater. This waiver applies whether or not the loss is due to the negligent acts or omissions of Sublandlord or Subtenant, or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, or invitees. Each of Sublandlord and Subtenant shall

 

9


have their respective property insurers endorse the applicable insurance policies to reflect the foregoing waiver, provided, however, that the endorsement shall not be required if the applicable policy of insurance permits the named insured to waive rights of subrogation on a blanket basis, in which case the blanket waiver shall be acceptable.

16. Risk . Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, all of Subtenant’s personal property of any kind or description whatsoever in the Property shall be at Subtenant’s sole risk. Furthermore, unless and to the extent the damage is caused by the willful misconduct of Subtenant or breach of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease beyond applicable cure periods, all of Sublandlord’s personal property of any kind or description whatsoever in the Property shall be at Sublandlord’s sole risk. Subject to any indemnity obligations set out in this Sublease or the Master Lease, Sublandlord and Landlord shall not be liable for any damage done to or loss of such personal property, injury to person or damage or loss suffered by the business or occupation of Subtenant arising from any acts or neglect of co-tenants or other occupants of the Building, or of any other persons, or from bursting, overflowing or leaking of water, sewer or steam pipes, or from the heating or plumbing or sprinkler fixtures, or from electric wires, or from gas, or odors, any defect in or failure of Building equipment; any failure to make repairs; any defect, failure, surge in, or interruption of Building facilities or services; any defect in or failure of Common Areas; broken glass; the collapse of any Building component or caused in any other manner whatsoever unless and to the extent the damage is caused by the willful misconduct of Sublandlord or breach of Sublandlord’s obligations under this Sublease beyond applicable cure periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Sublease, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, each party hereby agrees that the other party shall not be liable for injury to the first party’s business or any loss of income therefrom, whether such injury or loss results from conditions arising upon the Sublease Premises or the Property, or from other sources or places including, without limitation, any interruption of services and utilities or any casualty, or from any cause whatsoever (including without limitation a party’s negligence), and regardless of whether the cause of such injury or loss or the means of repairing the same is inaccessible to Sublandlord or Subtenant. Each party may elect, at its sole cost and expense, to obtain business interruption insurance with respect to such potential injury or loss.

17. Indemnification .

17.1 Subject to Section 15 above, Subtenant will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sublandlord and Landlord from and against any claim, liability or suit, including attorney fees, by any third party for any injury to any person or damage to or loss of property occurring (i) in or about the Sublease Premises, except to the extent such damage is caused by any act, omission, negligence or intentional act of Sublandlord or Landlord or their respective agents, employees, servants, customers, clients, contractors, or invitees, or (ii) on the Property but outside the Sublease Premises to the extent such damage is caused by Subtenant’s negligence or intentional misconduct, or that of its agents, employees, servants, customers, clients, contractors, or invitees.

Subject to Section 15 above, Sublandlord will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Subtenant from and against any claim, liability or suit, including attorney fees, by any third party for any injury to any person or damage to or loss of any property occurring (i) in or about the Sublease

 

10


Premises, or (ii) on the Property but outside the Sublease Premises, and, in either event, to the extent such damage is caused by Sublandlord’s negligence or intentional misconduct, or that of its agents, employees, servants, customers, clients, contractors, or invitees, provided, however, that Sublandlord shall have no obligations under this Section 17.1 to the extent such damage is caused by any act, omission, negligence or intentional act of Subtenant or its agents, employees, servants, customers, clients, contractors, or invitees.

For purposes of the indemnification obligations of this Section 17, none of the parties referred to in this Section 17 (Subtenant, Sublandlord and Landlord) shall be an agent, employee, servant, customer, client, contractor, or invitee of any other such party.

The indemnification obligations contained in this Section shall not be limited by any worker’s compensation, benefit or disability laws, and each indemnifying party hereby waives any immunity that the indemnifying party may have under the Industrial Insurance Act, Title 51 RCW and similar worker’s compensation, benefit or disability laws. SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT ACKNOWLEDGE BY THEIR EXECUTION OF THIS SUBLEASE THAT EACH OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBLEASE (SPECIFICALLY INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED THOSE RELATING TO WORKER’S COMPENSATION BENEFITS AND LAWS) WERE SPECIFICALLY NEGOTIATED AND AGREED TO BY SUBLANDLORD AND SUBTENANT.

17.2 Limitation on Indemnity . In compliance with RCW 4.24.115 as in effect on the date of this Sublease, all provisions of this Sublease pursuant to which Sublandlord or Subtenant (the “ Indemnitor ”) agrees to indemnify the other (the “ Indemnitee ”) against liability for damages arising out of bodily injury to persons or damage to property relative to the construction, alteration, repair, addition to, subtraction from, improvement to, or maintenance of, any building, road, or other structure, project, development, or improvement attached to real estate, including the Sublease Premises, (i) shall not apply to damages caused by or resulting from the sole negligence of the Indemnitee, its agents or employees, and (ii) to the extent caused by or resulting from the concurrent negligence of (a) the Indemnitee or the Indemnitee’s agents or employees, and (b) the Indemnitor or the Indemnitor’s agents or employees, shall apply only to the extent of the Indemnitor’s negligence.

18. Casualty & Condemnation . Under certain circumstances described in the Master Lease, either Landlord or Sublandlord may terminate the Master Lease if there is a fire or other casualty damaging the Building or the Sublease Premises, or if there is a condemnation affecting the Building. Any such termination will automatically terminate this Sublease. Rent will abate in proportion to the loss of use of the Sublease Premises caused by fire or other casualty to the extent Sublandlord is entitled to same under the Master Lease. In the event a fire or other casualty causes substantial damage to the Sublease Premises, and the Sublease Premises are not substantially restored within two hundred ten (210) days to a condition substantially comparable to the condition prior to the casualty, then Subtenant may terminate this Sublease without penalty upon written notice to Sublandlord given within ten (10) days following the end of such two hundred ten (210) day period; if Subtenant provides such timely written notice, then this Sublease shall terminate thirty (30) days following Sublandlord’s receipt of the same unless the Sublease Premises are substantially restored prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period. If all

 

11


or a material portion of the Sublease Premises are permanently taken by eminent domain, such that Subtenant may no longer reasonably use the Sublease Premises, then Subtenant may terminate this Sublease effective as of written notice to Sublandlord, which notice must be provided no later than ten (10) days following such taking.

19. Master Lease .

19.1 Good Standing . Sublandlord represents as follows:

(a) To Sublandlord’s actual knowledge, it has properly fulfilled all of its obligations under the Master Lease, it is not in default under the Master Lease, and it has not received notice of any breach or default of the Master Lease by Sublandlord that has not been cured as of the date of this Sublease; and

(b) Attached as Exhibit A to this Sublease is a true, correct and complete copy of the Master Lease, which is in full force and effect and which has not been modified, altered or amended except as set forth therein.

19.2 Subordination . This Sublease is subject and subordinate to the Master Lease, to all ground and underlying leases, and to all mortgages and deeds of trust which may now or hereafter affect the Property, and to any and all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Sublandlord agrees not to effect any modification or amendment of the Master Lease that materially and adversely affects the Sublease Premises or the rights or obligations of Subtenant hereunder without the written consent of Subtenant (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be deemed granted if not refused within ten (10) days of written request). Subtenant agrees, upon request of Sublandlord, at any time or times, to execute and deliver to Sublandlord any and all instruments as shall be required by Landlord to effect a subordination of this Sublease to the lien of Landlord’s Mortgage (as defined in Section 18 of the Master Lease) in accordance with and subject to the terms of Section 18 of the Master Lease.

19.3 Adherence to Terms of Master Lease . Subtenant agrees to be bound by and fully comply with all obligations and responsibilities of Sublandlord as tenant under the Master Lease to the extent the same relate to the Sublease Premises; provided, however, that the following Sections and Exhibits in the Master Lease shall not apply to this Sublease:

the section titled “Schedule”;

Section 2(a) (except for definitions set out therein which may be useful in interpreting provisions of this Sublease);

Section 2(b);

Section 2(e)(iv) (except that Subtenant shall be entitled to its pro rata share of any overpayment);

Section 25(o);

Section 25(s);

Section 27;

Addendum No. 1, and Exhibits C, D, E, G, H, I, J and K.

To the extent of any conflict or discrepancy between this Sublease and the Master Lease, as between Sublandlord and Subtenant, this Sublease shall control. Notwithstanding anything herein seemingly to the contrary, Subtenant shall neither do nor permit anything to be done that could cause a default under the Master Lease or that could cause the Master Lease to be terminated or forfeited by reason of any right of termination or forfeiture reserved or vested in Landlord under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding anything herein seemingly to the contrary, Sublandlord shall remain liable for all of its obligations to Landlord under the Master Lease.

Original Tenant previously made a loan to Sublandlord in an initial principal amount of $475,000, which loan amount was subsequently increased to $517,564.43 (the Loan ). The Loan is currently evidenced by a Restated and Amended Promissory Note dated July 27, 2004 executed by Tenant in favor of Original Tenant. The parties agree that by virtue of becoming a subtenant in the Premises, Subtenant is not obligating itself to repay all or any portion of the Loan.

19.4 Sale of the Building . In the event that the Building is sold to a new owner during the Term of this Sublease, Sublandlord may, at its sole discretion, elect to negotiate a new master lease for the Premises. In such case, the new master lease will substitute for the current Master Lease, and this Sublease shall remain binding in accordance with its terms, and the parties will enter into an amendment to the Sublease to ratify the same; in the ratification amendment, the parties will also make any necessary revisions to Section 19.3. Subtenant acknowledges that the relevant parties are currently negotiating the potential sale of the Building and a potential new master lease, and that Subtenant has been provided with a draft of the potential new master lease (the “Pending Master Lease”), and Subtenant hereby consents to a new master lease substantially in the form of the Pending Master Lease and agrees to confirm its consent in writing concurrently with the execution of this Sublease.

20. Right of Entry . Sublandlord shall have the right to enter the Sublease Premises in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 11(e) of the Master Lease (provided that the last sentence of Section 11(e) shall not apply to Sublandlord’s right of entry to the Sublease Premises). Except in the case of emergency, Sublandlord shall provide email, telephone or in-person notice of not less than 2 hours for access to the second floor MDF room, and not less than twenty four hours for all other access.

21. Parking . Subtenant shall have the right to rent up to sixteen (16) parking stalls (in an area designated by Sublandlord) at the then-current market rate for parking in the Building (the “ Entitled Parking Stalls ”). Sublandlord shall, in good faith, allocate between Subtenant (at

 

13


approximately 50-66%) and Sublandlord (at approximately 33-50%) the total standard (non-compact) parking spaces that are allocated to Sublandlord for the second floor of the Building under the Master Lease. As of the date of mutual execution of this Sublease, the monthly rate for parking is $215.00 per stall or $3,440.00 per month, which shall be paid as Additional Rent. The monthly parking rate may be increased from time to time as set forth in the Section 25(x) of the Master Lease.

Any Entitled Parking Stalls that are not rented and paid for by Subtenant in accordance with this Section 21 may be used by the Sublandlord, but will be returned to the Subtenant for Subtenant’s use at the then-current monthly parking rate not more than thirty (30) days after Subtenant’s written request.

Subtenant shall follow all rules of use for the parking garage that may be established, from time to time, by the Sublandlord Subtenant may elect to terminate its right to use any or all parking stalls upon delivering to Sublandlord sixty (60) days’ prior written notice of its election, which parking stalls thereafter may be used by the Sublandlord.

22. Rules and Regulations . Subtenant shall observe at all times the rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord that are applicable to the Sublease Premises or any occupant thereof.

23. Subletting/Assignment .

23.1 Sublandlord Consent . Subtenant shall not sublet the Sublease Premises or assign this Sublease or any part thereof for any period of time without the prior consent of the Landlord and Sublandlord. Such consent by Sublandlord shall not be unreasonably withheld except: (a) Sublandlord may withhold in its absolute and sole discretion consent to any mortgage, hypothecation, pledge or other encumbrance of any interest in this Sublease or the Sublease Premises by Subtenant, whereby this Sublease or any interest therein becomes collateral for any obligation of Subtenant; (b) Sublandlord may withhold in its absolute and sole discretion consent if Landlord does not consent to the proposed transfer; and (c) Sublandlord may withhold in its absolute and sole discretion consent if Sublandlord determines that the proposed transferee is a business competitor of Sublandlord. It is agreed that any of the following factors, or any other reasonable factor, will be reasonable grounds for Sublandlord deciding whether to consent to Subtenant’s request: (i) the use or occupancy by any proposed assignee, subtenant or other transferee is not consistent with the maintenance and operation of a Class A biotech and office building due to the nature of the proposed occupant’s business or the manner of conducting its business or its experience or reputation in the community, (ii) the use or occupancy by any proposed assignee, subtenant or other transferee is likely to cause disturbance to, or is inconsistent with, the intended use and occupancy of the Building by Sublandlord or other occupants; and (iii) notwithstanding that Subtenant or others remain liable under this Sublease, whether the proposed assignee, subtenant or other transferee has a net worth, financial strength and credit record satisfactory to meet all of the obligations of Subtenant under this Sublease and a history of succession operation. Fifty percent (50%) of all rent or other consideration received by Subtenant from its subtenants in excess of the rent payable by Subtenant to Sublandlord under this Sublease shall be paid to Landlord, and 50% of any sums to be paid by an

 

14


assignee to Subtenant in consideration of the assignment of this Sublease shall be paid to Sublandlord, provided that Subtenant shall be entitled to first deduct therefrom Subtenant’s reasonable broker’s fees, legal fees and tenant improvement costs incurred in effecting such sublease or assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant shall not be required to obtain Sublandlord’s consent to a change of management or ownership as set forth in Section 17(f) of the Master Lease, provided that such entity shall have a net worth equal to or greater than that of the Subtenant at the time of mutual execution of this Sublease (a “ Permitted Transferee ”) and provided that Subtenant provide Sublandlord with (i) unless prohibited by law, thirty (30) days advance notice of such transfer and (ii) documentation evidencing such transfer acceptable to Sublandlord in its reasonable discretion.

23.2 Recapture . In lieu of granting a consent to a proposed sublease, assignment or other transfer (excluding Permitted Transferee transactions), Sublandlord reserves the right to terminate this Sublease or, in the case of a subletting of less than all the Sublease Premises, to terminate this Sublease with respect to such portion of the Sublease Premises, as of the proposed effective date of such subletting or assignment, in which event Sublandlord may enter into the relationship of landlord and tenant with any other person or entity (including the sublessee or assignee proposed by Subtenant) on such terms and conditions as Sublandlord may deem acceptable. Sublandord may exercise its right to recapture under this Section 23.2 by notifying Subtenant of it election in writing within the fifteen (15) days following Sublandlord’s receipt of Subtenant’s request for consent under Section 23.1.

23.3 Effect of Transfer . No subletting, assignment or other transfer (except for a recapture by Sublandlord pursuant to Section 23.2) shall relieve Subtenant of any liability under this Sublease, and no consent to any such transfer shall operate as a waiver of the necessity for consent to a subsequent transfer. Subtenant promptly shall provide Sublandlord with copies of any instruments of transfer.

24. Notice . Any notice regarding a breach of this Sublease or termination thereof shall be in writing and be sent by nationally recognized overnight mail or personally delivered to:

If any release or spill of any Hazardous Materials into the environment, including surface water, groundwater, drinking water supply, land, soil, surface or subsurface strata or the ambient air, where such release or spill is potentially in violation of Environmental Laws or is required to be reported to the Washington State Department of Ecology or other appropriate governmental authority (“Environmental Condition”) occurs in or about the Sublease Premises, Subtenant shall promptly prepare a remediation plan for Sublandlord’s review and approval. Subtenant’s obligation to remediate any Environmental Condition shall not be contingent on an enforcement action by any governmental authority and shall be independent of any governmentally mandated remediation. If Sublandlord approves the plan, then Subtenant shall implement the remediation plan at Subtenant’s sole cost and expense. If the remediation plan is not reasonably acceptable to Sublandlord, or if Subtenant fails to implement the remediation plan within a reasonable period of time, then Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for the actual cost to Sublandlord of performing rectifying work. The reimbursement shall be paid to Sublandlord, upon demand, in advance of Sublandlord’s performing such work, based upon Sublandlord’s reasonable estimate of the cost thereof; and upon completion of such work by Sublandlord, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord any shortfall between the estimated payment and the actual costs within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord bills Subtenant therefor or Sublandlord shall within thirty (30) days refund to Tenant any excess deposit, as the case may be.

39.4 Subtenant acknowledges that both Sublandlord and Landlord must approve Subtenant’s Hazardous Materials Program as the same is described above.

39.5 Sublandlord represents to Subtenant that, to the best of Sublandlord’s knowledge (without specific investigation or study), the Sublease Premises as of the Commencement Date are free of Hazardous Materials, except as permitted under Section 27(b) of the Master Lease. Sublandlord shall be liable to Subtenant for any and all clean-up costs and any and all other charges, fees, and penalties imposed by any governmental authority with respect to Sublandlord’s use, disposal, release, transportation, generation and/or sale of Hazardous Materials or other waste materials in or about the Premises. Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend and save Subtenant harmless from any and all claims, losses, costs, fees, penalties and charges assessed against, incurred by or imposed upon Subtenant as a result of Sublandlord’s use, disposal, release, transportation, generation and/or sale of Hazardous Materials or other waste materials in or about the Project.

39.6 Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Subtenant shall provide a decommissioning report prepared or reviewed by an independent third party showing Subtenant’s compliance with all decommissioning rules and regulations and demonstrating that the Sublease Premises have been left in a clean and uncontaminated state.

39.7 Subtenant acknowledges that Sublandlord maintains a Washington State Radioactive Materials License for the entire second floor of the Building. Sublandlord shall, prior to Commencement Date, remove all radioactive material from the Sublease Premises and conduct a thorough survey of the Sublease Premises to ensure that no radioactive materials nor contamination remain. Subtenant shall not use radioactive materials at the Sublease Premises without prior written consent of Sublandlord. In the event that Subtenant desires to use radioactive materials, and Sublandlord consents thereto, Sublandlord shall, at its cost, cause the Sublease Premises to be formally removed from its license, and Subtenant shall obtain a Washington State Radioactive Materials License for the Sublease Premises prior to any entry of radioactive materials to the Sublease Premises. Prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Subtenant shall at its expense remove all radioactive materials and any contamination, terminate its Radioactive Materials License in accordance with WAC 246-221 and provide a copy of a final survey, conducted by the Washington Department of Health, to Sublandlord, showing compliance with all rules and regulations and demonstrating that there is no radioactive contamination and no radioactive materials remain at the Sublease Premises.

(i) Payment of Estimated Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent .

Landlord may revise these estimates whenever it obtains more accurate information, such as the final real estate tax assessment or tax rate for the Project; provided that such revision shall not occur more frequently than two (2) times per fiscal year. Within ten (10) days after receiving the original or revised estimate from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of this estimate, multiplied by the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable fiscal year to the date of such payment including the current month, minus payments previously made by Tenant for the months elapsed.

Operating Costs shall also include amortization over their useful life of the costs of any capital improvements which have a reasonable expectation of reducing Operating Costs, improving safety or enhancing the Project, and those made to keep the Project in compliance with Governmental Requirements that take effect from time to time after the Commencement Date (collectively, “ Included Capital Items ”). Neither Included Capital Items nor Operating Costs shall include any structural additions, modifications to increase rentable area or other capital improvements that enhance the Project unless Tenant has approved the expenditures and their inclusion in Operating Costs in advance.

If the Project is not fully occupied during any portion of any fiscal year, Landlord may reallocate (an “ Equitable Adjustment ”) certain types of Operating Costs so that Tenant pays what it would have paid had the Project been fully occupied. This Equitable Adjustment shall apply only to Operating Costs which vary with occupancy rates and therefore increase as occupancy of the Project increases (such as janitorial services in the areas occupied by tenants). The Equitable Adjustment shall not apply to Taxes, repairs or Maintenance to the Building as a whole, insurance, or other items that do not vary with occupancy. Landlord may incorporate the Equitable Adjustment in its estimates of Operating Costs provided that it includes a reasonably detailed explanation of how the Equitable Adjustment was calculated. Landlord may not use the Equitable Adjustment to recover more than 100% of its out of pocket costs.

(ii) Excluded Operating Costs . Operating Costs shall not include:

(21) Impact fees, traffic mitigation payments or other expenses assessed by any governmental authority in connection with designing permitting or developing the Project (other than Landlord’s reasonable and necessary costs to comply with the Transportation Management Plan dated April 29, 2002, a copy of which has been furnished to Tenant, which shall be included as Operating Costs).

If possible, taxes and assessments shall be paid in the maximum number of installments permitted by the taxing authority. For any year, the amount to be included in Taxes (a) from taxes or assessments payable in installments, such as real estate taxes, shall be the amount of the installments (with any interest) due and payable during such year, and (b) from all other Taxes, shall at Landlord’s election be the amount accrued, assessed, or otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due and payable in such year. Any refund or other adjustment to any Taxes by the taxing authority, shall apply during the year in which the adjustment is made and Tenant shall be entitled to a refund of its Proportionate Share thereof even if the Lease has terminated.

Taxes shall not include any (except Rent Tax) income, business and occupations, capital, stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or inheritance tax, except to the extent the taxing authority expressly indicates that such tax is in lieu of all or any part of Taxes.

(iv) Lease Year . “ Lease Year ” means each consecutive twelve-month period beginning with the Commencement Date, except that if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Year shall be the period from the Commencement Date through the final day of the twelve (12) months after the first day of the following month, and each subsequent Lease Year shall be the twelve (12) months following the prior Lease Year.

Any sum due from Tenant to Landlord not paid when due and remaining unpaid five (5) days after Landlord’s notice to Tenant shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the higher of (a) the prime or similar rate published by The Wall Street Journal plus five percent (5%), or (b) twelve percent (12%) per annum, but not in excess of the highest lawful rate permitted on judgments under applicable laws, calculated from the original due date thereof to the date of payment in full. With respect to monthly payment of Rent, the provision for notice shall apply only to the first late payment in any 12-Month period. Any additional late payments of Rent in such 12-Month period shall be subject to default interest from the due date, without regard to notice.

(iii) Rent Adjustments . If any Operating Cost paid in one fiscal year relates to more than one fiscal year, Landlord shall proportionately allocate such Operating Cost among the related fiscal years.

(iv) Books and Records . Landlord shall maintain books and records reflecting the Operating Costs and Taxes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, and sound management practices. Provided that Tenant notifies Landlord of its intent to conduct such audit or inspection within sixty (60) days following the delivery of the Operating Cost Report or the Tax Report (as applicable), Tenant and its accountants or advisors shall have the right to inspect or audit Landlord’s records at Landlord’s office in the City of Seattle upon at least seventy-two (72) hours prior notice during Normal Business Hours, provided that such auditor inspection is completed within sixty (60) days after the date of such notice. Unless Tenant sends to Landlord any written exception to either such report within said sixty (60) day period, such report shall be deemed final and accepted by Tenant. Tenant shall pay the amount shown on both reports in the manner prescribed in this Lease, whether or not Tenant takes any such written exception, without any prejudice to such exception. Tenant shall pay the cost of its audit or inspection unless Landlord’s original determination of annual Operating Costs or Taxes overstated the amounts thereof by more than five percent (5%). If such audit reveals an overpayment of five percent (5%), and Landlord does not successfully dispute such audit, Landlord shall refund such excess within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of the audit report.

If the audit or inspection reveals any overpayment by Tenant and Landlord disputes the accuracy thereof then Landlord and Tenant shall meet with their respective accountants so that Landlord can explain Landlord’s accounting records and its procedures with respect to Operating Costs and the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute. If the parties cannot agree on a resolution of the dispute then either party may submit the results of the audit or inspection to arbitration as provided herein, within thirty (30) days after the date of such meeting, by written notice to the other party identifying which items in the audit or inspection are in dispute.

The arbitrator shall be an independent certified public accountant agreed upon by the parties. The arbitrator shall be from a reputable firm that has not provided accounting, auditing or consulting services to either party or the members or affiliates thereof during the prior three (3) years. If Landlord and Tenant have not selected a mutually acceptable arbitrator within ten (10) days after the notice of arbitration is delivered, then either party may request that the Seattle Office of JAMS, Inc., or its successor, or another commercial arbitration service select an arbitrator meeting the requirements set forth above.

Within, ten (10) days after selection, the arbitrator shall be provided a copy of those portions of the audit report relevant to the disputed items and any other written information which either Landlord or Tenant believes is necessary for the arbitrator to review in order to fairly resolve the disputed items. The arbitrator shall issue its decision within thirty (30) days of its appointment. The decision of such arbitrator shall be binding, and the costs of the arbitrator shall be borne by the non-prevailing party (which as used in this Section shall mean the party whose position on disputed items did not prevail by more than 50%, based on the total dollar amounts at issue in the aggregate).

The results of any inspection or audit of Operating Coats shall be treated by Tenant, its audit representative, and their respective employees, accountants, attorneys and consultants as confidential, and shall not be discussed with nor disclosed to any third party other than any other tenant of the Project that may have joined in the inspection or audit, any arbitrator appointed pursuant to this Section or in connection with any court order or other legal requirement.

Landlord may commingle any payments made with respect to Operating Cost Share Rent or Tax Share Rent, without payment of interest.

3. DELIVERY OF POSSESSION AND SURRENDER OF PREMISES

(a) Commencement Date. The Term of the Lease shall commence when all of the following have occurred (“Commencement Date”):

(i) March 22, 2004 (“Target Substantial Completion Date”). The Target Substantial Completion Date is subject to extension by reason of Tenant Delay and Force Majeure;

(ii) Substantial Completion of the Shell and Core, as defined in Section 1.4 of Exhibit D; and

(iii) 191 days after the TI Ready Shell Delivery Date (“ Tenant Work Period ”). The Tenant Work Period is subject to extension by reason of Landlord Delay and Force Majeure.

(b) Schedules . Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Landlord’s Work (as defined in Exhibit C ) and Tenant’s Work (as defined in Exhibit D ) will in part proceed simultaneously and each party and its contractors shall cooperate in good faith to minimize disruption to the other party during the course of construction. Landlord and Tenant and their contractors have mutually prepared a coordinated list of key construction milestone dates for the Landlord’s Work and Tenant’s Work, which is attached hereto as Exhibit K (the “ Project and TI Schedule ”). Landlord and Tenant shall use diligent efforts to develop and construct their respective work in accordance with the Project and TI Schedule, and shall keep each other regularly informed about the progress of their respective work against the Project and TI Schedule.

(c) Landlord Delivery of TI Ready Shell; Tenant’s Work; Substantial Completion . Landlord shall use diligent efforts to develop and construct the Project in accordance with the Project and TI Schedule, including the delivery to Tenant of the TI Ready Shell, as defined in Exhibit K , on or before August 22, 2003, for Floor 2, and on or before September 12, 2003, for Floor 3 (“ Target TI Ready Shell Dates ”). The Target TI Ready Shell Dates are subject to extension for Force Majeure. Landlord’s delivery of the TI Ready Shell shall be evidenced by Landlord’s general contractor’s delivery to Landlord and Tenant of an executed certificate substantially in the form attached as Exhibit H . The date on which Landlord has delivered the TI Ready Shell as to both floors is the “ TI Ready Shell Delivery Date ”. Upon the TI Ready Shell Delivery Date, Tenant shall commence and complete Tenant’s Work in accordance with Exhibit D and the Project and TI Schedules. Landlord shall use diligent and reasonable efforts to achieve Substantial Completion of the Shell and Core by the Target Substantial Completion Date.

(d) Landlord and Tenant Delay; Force Majeure .

(i) Landlord Delay shall result in the extension of the TI Work Period and the milestones for Tenant’s Work in the Project and TI Schedule to the extent and in the manner described in this Section 3. Tenant Delay shall result in the extension of the Target Substantial Completion Date and the obligation to commence paying Base Rent early, to the extent and in the manner described in this Section 3. Such extensions shall be calculated on a day-for-day basis for each day of delay, and shall reflect the mitigation principles in Section 3(d)(v), below.

(ii) Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d)(iv) below, Landlord Delay shall occur if Landlord does not meet the Target TI Ready Shell Date for Floor 2 or Landlord’s Work does not proceed following the TI Ready Shell Delivery Date in accordance with the Project and TI Schedule, for reasons other than Force Majeure or Tenant Delay, or if Landlord or Landlord’s GC otherwise unreasonably interferes with or impedes Tenant’s Work.

 

- 9 -


(iii) Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d)(iv) below, Tenant Delay shall occur if Tenant’s Work does not proceed in accordance with the Project and TI Schedule for reasons other than Force Majeure or Landlord Delay, or if Tenant or Tenant’s GC otherwise unreasonably interfere with Landlord’s Work.

(iv) Tenant or Landlord shall notify the other in writing promptly upon, and in any event not less than 10 business days after, discovery of a Landlord Delay or Tenant Delay, as the case may be, or a delay caused by Force Majeure, as defined in Section 20 (“ Delay Notice ”). The Delay Notice shall indicate the nature of the delay, the resulting effect on the Project and TI Schedule, and the applicable extension sought for any Work period, Project and TI Schedule dates or other dates in this Section 3. If the recipient of the Delay Notice does not notify the sender of its disagreement with the Delay Notice within 10 days of the Delay Notice, then Landlord Delay, Tenant Delay or a Force Majeure delay, as the case may be, shall be deemed to occur in accordance with the Delay Notice, with the indicated resulting effect. If the recipient notifies the sender that it disagrees with the Delay Notice, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the parties cannot agree on a resolution of the dispute then either party may submit the dispute to mediation and arbitration as provided in Section 7 of Exhibit D .

(v) In any event, the determination of the existence and duration of Landlord Delay, Tenant Delay end Force Majeure delay shall take into account reasonable efforts on the part of the affected party to mitigate the effect of the delay in its Work. However, the affected party shall not be required to incur overtime expense or other extraordinary expense, to change contractors or subcontractors, or to substitute materials or otherwise materially change the TI Plans or Shell and Core Plans, as the case may be, in such event.

(e) Early Possession; Delay in TCO . Landlord will use reasonable efforts to allow Tenant to begin equipment move-in on March 1, 2004, and shall use reasonable efforts to obtain a temporary certificate of occupancy for the shell and core (“ Shell TCO ”) on or before March 8, 2004, (“ Target Shell TCO Date ”), but such dates are goals and failure to meet such goals shall not result in any penalties to Landlord. Landlord shall use diligent, reasonable efforts to accommodate Tenant’s desire to move equipment and Tenant’s personal property in on such dates; to coordinate such efforts, Tenant shall provide Landlord with an advance copy of its proposed move in schedule. If the Shell TCO is not available on or before the later of (i) the Commencement Date, and (ii) the Target Shell TCO Date, except to the extent caused by Tenant Delay, and Tenant’s ability to move in commencing 15 days prior to the Commencement Date is substantially adversely affected, taking into account diligent, reasonable measures by Tenant to mitigate that effect, then the Rent Commencement Date (as it may have been extended in accordance with other provisions of this Section 3) shall be extended on a day-for-day basis, following the notice procedures in Section 3(d)(iv) above.

(f) Early Base Rent if Tenant Delay . If and to the extent that Tenant Delay causes Landlord to fail to deliver the Substantially Complete Shell and Core by the later of the original Target Substantial Completion Date and the expiration of the Tenant Work Period, then notwithstanding the failure of the Commencement Date to occur, Tenant’s obligation to commence paying Base Rent shall accrue as though such Tenant Delay did not cause a delay in the Substantial Completion Date, and the amount of Base Rent payable by Tenant on the Rent Commencement Date shall be increased by the amount of such accrued Base Rent.

(g) Rent Relief if Landlord Delay . If the Commencement Date does not occur on the Target Substantial Completion Date (i.e., the original Target Substantial Completion Date, as it may be extended by Tenant Delay or Force Majeure), then the Rent Commencement Date (as it may have been extended in accordance with other provisions of this Section 3) shall be extended as follows: One day of delay in the Rent Commencement Date shall accrue for each of the first 15 days after the Target Substantial Completion Date, and two days of such delay shall accrue for each day thereafter through the Commencement Date. However, no days of delay of the Rent Commencement Date shall accrue to the extent the delay in the Commencement Date is due to an extension of the Tenant Work Period due to Force Majeure, whether occurring before or after the TI Ready Shell Delivery Date.

Example 1. Assume that the Target Substantial Completion Date were extended to April 1, 2004 due to Tenant Delay or Force Majeure, the expiration of the Tenant Work Period were extended to April 21, 2004, and the Substantial Completion Date were April 14, 2004. In that case the Commencement Date would be April 21, 2004, and the Rent Commencement Date would be delayed by 25 days (15 + (2 x5)).

 

- 10 -


Example 2. Assume the same facts as Example 1, except that 6 days of the extension of the Tenant Work Period were due to Force Majeure, so that, absent such Force Majeure, the Tenant Work Period would have only been extended to April 15, 2004. In that case, the Commencement Date would still be April 21, 2004, and the Rent Commencement Date would be delayed by 14 days (the number of days between April 1 and April 15).

Example 3. Assume the same facts as Example 2, except that 18 days of the extension of the Tenant Work Period were due to Force Majeure, so that, absent such Force Majeure, the Tenant Work Period would have only been extended to April 3, 2004. In that case, the Commencement Date would still be April 21, 2004, and the Rent Commencement Date would be delayed by 2 days (the number of days between April 1 and April 3).

Example 4. Assume the same facts as Example 3, except that there were no extension of the Tenant Work Period. In that case, the Commencement Date would be April 14, 2004, and the Rent Commencement Date would be delayed by 13 days (the number of days between April 1 and April 14).

(h) Excuse From Rent Delay . Notwithstanding Section 3(g) above, to the extent that the failure of the Commencement Date to occur by the Target Substantial Completion Date is attributable to Landlord’s failure to meet the TI Ready Shell Delivery Date, no days of extension of the Rent Commencement Date shall accrue if and to the extent that Tenant had not (i) entered into a construction contract for Tenant’s Work or (ii) obtained a building permit necessary for the commencement of Tenant’s Work prior to the TI Ready Shell Delivery Date.

(i) Rent Relief if Delay in Shared Facilities Completion . As described in the Addendum, an integral and critical component of Tenant’s operations in the Premises are the “Commencement Shared Facilities”. Accordingly, if and to the extent that the Commencement Shared Facilities are not complete as described in the “Shared Facilities Agreement” (except to the extent such delay is due to Tenant Delay or Force Majeure) by the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date (as it may have been extended in accordance with other provisions of this Section 3) shall be extended on a day for day basis. Except as provided in Paragraph 6 of Addendum 1; after the Commencement Shared Facilities are complete, Landlord shall have no further obligation under this Lease with respect to the Shared Facilities.

(j) Tenant’s Right to Terminate . In the event the Substantial Completion Date has not occurred on or before August 31, 2004 (which date shall be extended on a day for day basis by Force Majeure and Tenant Delay), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice at any time prior to the Substantial Completion Date, and receive from Landlord liquidated damages in the amount of $2,000,000 payable within 30 days of such notice.

(k) Mutual Right to Terminate . In the event the TI Ready Shell Delivery Date does not occur on or before on or before August 1, 2004, due to Force Majeure, either Party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. In the event the Substantial Completion Date does not occur on or before March 1, 2005, either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to the other at any time prior to the Substantial Completion Date; provided, however, that the date after which Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease shall be extended by each day of Landlord Delay or Tenant Delay, as the case may be. In the event of such termination, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if Landlord elects to so terminate, and Tenant has installed valuable tenant improvements, fixtures or equipment in the Premises, Landlord shall pay Tenant the market value of Tenant’s improvements (except to the extent previously paid for pursuant to the Allowance in Exhibit D ) in “as is” condition, within 90 days after the date of termination. If the parties are unable to agree on such market value, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute. If the parties cannot agree on a resolution of the dispute then either party may submit the dispute to mediation and arbitration as provided in Section 7 of Exhibit D .

(l) Tenant’s Possession . If Landlord authorizes Tenant to take possession of any portion of the Premises for purposes of doing business and Tenant commences business in any part of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date, all terms of this Lease shall apply to such pre-Term possession, including Base Rent at the rate set forth for the First Lease Year in the Schedule prorated for any partial month and for the number of RSF so occupied (provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay such Base Rent until 100 days after commencing business in such portion or portions of the Premises) Tenant’s access to the Premises prior to the Commencement Date for the purpose of moving in and installing partitions, hardware, furniture, supplies, Fixed Equipment and Moveable Equipment, as described in Section 3(e) or otherwise, shall not constitute “commencing business” for purposes of this paragraph.

 

- 11 -


(m) Lease Termination Date . Subject to Tenant’s Extension Options set forth in Paragraph 1 of Addendum 1, and unless earlier terminated pursuant to the terms of this Lease, if the date which is thirteen (13) years plus 100 days from the Commencement Date is the last day of a month, such date shall be the Termination Date. If such date is not the last day of the month, the Termination Date shall be the last day of the month in which such date falls.

(n) Maintenance . Throughout the Term, Tenant shall maintain the Premises in their condition as of the Commencement Date or upon completion of Tenant’s Work or any later Tenant’s Alterations as permitted by this Lease, loss or damage caused by the elements, ordinary wear, and fire and other casualty excepted, and at the termination of this Lease, or Tenant’s right to possession, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in broom-clean condition. To the extent Tenant fails to perform either obligation, Landlord may, but need not, restore the Premises to such condition and Tenant shall pay the reasonable cost thereof.

Landlord shall use best efforts to commence repairs within 24 hours of receipt of written notice from Tenant identifying any malfunction or interruption. Provided Landlord uses reasonable diligence, Landlord’s inability to furnish the Project services set forth in this Section 4 due to causes beyond its control, or any cessation thereof resulting from any causes beyond its control, including any entry for repairs necessitated by such causes, and any resulting renovation, redecoration or rehabilitation of any area of the Building, shall not render Landlord liable for damages to either person or property or for interruption or loss to Tenant’s business, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor work an abatement of any portion of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof.

(i) Prior to commencement, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord building permits (if required by applicable law) and certificates of insurance as required by this Lease.

(ii) Tenant shall use good faith efforts to perform all Tenant’s Alterations so as to maintain peace and harmony among other contractors serving the Project and shall use good faith efforts to minimize unreasonable interference with other work to be performed or services to be rendered in the Project.

Tenant shall at its expense make all other repairs to the Premises and Tenant’s fixtures and personal property, so as to keep the same in good order, condition and repair; to the extent Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may make such repairs itself after providing Tenant with at least ten (10) days prior written notice. The cost of any repairs made by Landlord on account of Tenant’s default, or on account of the mis-use or neglect by Tenant or its invitees, contractors or agents anywhere in the Project, shall become Additional Rent payable by Tenant on demand.

(c) No Liens . Tenant has no authority to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind to affect Landlord’s interest in the Project; any such lien or encumbrance shall attach to Tenant’s interest only.

At either’s request, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate and assist each other in developing and implementing a communications plan for the Project and Tenant’s use of the Premises, including any uses that may be deemed controversial. The reasonable costs to develop or implement a communications plan with respect to a Tenant use that is deemed controversial shall be paid by Tenant; provided that any such costs shall be reasonably allocated between Tenant and any other tenant whose use is addressed by the communications plan. Except as permitted above, Tenant shall not allow any use of the Premises which will negatively affect the cost of coverage of Landlord’s insurance on the Project. Tenant shall not allow any inflammable or explosive liquids or materials to be kept on the Premises except as authorized and permitted under Section 27 of this Lease.

If any governmental authority shall deem the Premises to be a “place of public accommodation” under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) or any other comparable law as a result of Tenant’s use, Tenant shall either modify its use to cause such authority to rescind its designation or be responsible for any alterations, structural or otherwise, required to be made to the Building or the Premises under such laws. If any governmental authority shall deem any portion of the Project (other than the Premises) to be a

“place of public accommodation” under the ADA or any other comparable law as a result of the uses permitted under applicable laws and the Master Use Permit or other land use permits for the Project, Landlord shall be responsible for, at its cost, any alterations, structural or otherwise, required to be made to the Building (other than the Premises) under such laws. Landlord agrees that Landlord’s Work in the Premises shall comply with the ADA.

Tenant shall also comply with all reasonable rules established for the Project from time to time by Landlord, provided the same are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Lease. The present rules and regulations are contained in Exhibit B . Failure by another tenant to comply with the rules shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to comply with the rules or make Landlord responsible to Tenant in any way. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to apply the rules and regulations uniformly with respect to Tenant and all other tenants in the Building. Landlord shall comply with all Governmental Requirements applicable to design, construction and operation of the Project, except to the extent that such compliance is the obligation of Tenant under this Lease.

If (i) Tenant’s Risk Management Program does not comply with the above sentence, or (ii) if Tenant’s Total Net Assets fails below Two Hundred Million Dollars ($200,000,000) or Tenant’s Unrestricted Net Assets falls below One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000) (the “Non-Compliance Period”), then the right of Tenant to insure pursuant to its Risk Management Program shall terminate, and during the Non-Compliance Period, Tenant shall comply with all of the obligations set forth in the Lease respecting insurance to be maintained by Tenant without its Risk Management Program. As used herein, “Total

 

- 16 -


Net Assets” means the excess of total assets over total liabilities, as determined by audited financial statements, and “Unrestricted Net Assets” means Total Net Assets less temporarily or permanently restricted assets under generally accepted accounting principles. If Tenant elects to maintain its Risk Management Program pursuant hereto, Tenant shall have all of the obligations and liabilities of an insurer and the remaining provisions of the Lease relating to insurance coverage, indemnity, insurance proceeds, waiver of subrogation and the like shall apply with respect to Tenant as they would with respect to an insurer (and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such self-insurance shall provide the same benefits and protections as provided in the current edition of the relevant insurance forms provided through the Insurance Services Office (“ISO”), with coverage equivalent to or broader than the coverages under such ISO forms), all as if Tenant had maintained the insurance required to be maintained by Tenant under the Lease without self-insurance.

If Tenant fails or refuses to maintain any insurance required while in a Non-Compliance Period and does not procure the proper insurance, Landlord may, at its option, ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant, procure insurance for Landlord’s benefit and/or interests and any and all premiums paid by Landlord therefor shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be due on demand.

9. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY .

(a) Termination . If a fire or other casualty causes substantial damage to the Building or the Premises, Landlord shall engage a registered architect to certify within one (1) month of the casualty to both Landlord and Tenant the amount of time needed to restore the Building (including all portions of the Premises included in Landlord’s Work) so that the Premises is available for Tenant to either repair or build out its Premises and install its improvements, personal property and fixtures to at least the same condition that existed immediately prior to the casualty. If the time needed to so restore the Building (including all portions of the Premises included in Landlord’s Work) exceeds fifteen (15) months from the beginning of the restoration, if the time needed to restore would take more than twenty percent (20%) of the remaining Term, or if financing is not available on commercially reasonable terms to restore the Building and Premises, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving the other party such notice of termination within twenty (20) days after the notifying party’s receipt of the architect’s certificate. Provided, however, if the 20% limitation would not apply if Tenant exercised an available Extension Option, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a notice indicating Landlord’s intent to cancel unless Tenant chooses to exercise its Extension Option. If Tenant does not so exercise the Extension Option within 30 days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, the Lease shall be terminated in accordance with Landlord’s notice. If Tenant chooses to extend, such choice shall be binding on Tenant, and Tenant shall have no right to withdraw the Extension Notice. The termination shall be effective twenty (20) days from the date of the notice and Rent shall be paid by Tenant to that date, with an abatement of Rent for any portion of the Premises which has been untenantable after the casualty.

 

- 19 -


(b) Restoration . If a casualty causes damage to the Building but this Lease is not terminated for any reason, then subject to the rights of any mortgagees or ground lessors, Landlord shall obtain the applicable insurance proceeds and diligently restore the Building (including all portions of the Premises included in Landlord’s Work) in accordance with current Governmental Requirements. If Landlord restores the Building and the Lease is not terminated, then Tenant shall replace its damaged improvements, personal property and fixtures to a condition comparable to the condition prior to the casualty. Rent shall be abated on a per diem basis during the restoration of the Building and for up to a reasonable period thereafter for the repair and rebuilding of the Premises and installation of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures to a condition comparable to the condition prior to the casualty. Landlord shall permit Tenant access to the Premises to complete restoration of its improvements and fixtures during the final period of restoration of the Project to the same extent as during the initial construction of the Premises and Tenant’s Work.

(c) Failure to Complete Restoration . If within fifteen (15) months from the beginning of restoration, the Building is not restored by Landlord to the extent that Tenant may begin reconstruction of its improvements and fixtures then Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving sixty (60) days written notice to Landlord. Such termination shall be effective sixty (60) days after the date of Tenant’s termination notice unless Landlord completes the restoration within such sixty (60) day period.

10 . EMINENT DOMAIN . If a part of the Project is taken by eminent domain or deed in lieu thereof which is so substantial that the Premises cannot reasonably be used by Tenant for the operation of its business, then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the taking. If any substantial portion of the Project is taken without affecting the Premises, then Landlord may terminate this Lease as of the date of such taking provided that Landlord terminates the leases of all other tenants in the Building and intends to redevelop the Land for non-laboratory uses. Rent shall abate from the date of the taking in proportion to any part of the Premises taken. All obligations accrued to the date of the taking shall be performed by the party liable to perform said obligations, as set forth herein.

Tenant hereby waives its right to receive any award for its interest in this Lease, for loss of its leasehold interest, but shall be entitled to recover the value of its leasehold improvements, alterations and trade fixtures installed in the Premises and paid for by Tenant, which shall not include improvements paid for by the Allowance (as defined in Exhibit D ). Tenant shall also be entitled to such compensation as may be awarded or recoverable by Tenant for Tenant’s moving expenses.

11. RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD . Landlord may exercise at any time any of the following rights respecting the operation of the Project without liability to the Tenant of any kind, except as otherwise provided herein:

(a) Signs . To install and maintain any signs on the exterior and in the interior of the Building other than in the Premises, and to approve at its reasonable discretion, prior to installation, any of Tenant’s signs in the Premises visible from the common areas or the exterior of the Building.

(b) Window Treatments . To approve, at its reasonable discretion, prior to installation, any shades, blinds, ventilators or window treatments of any kind, as well as any lighting within the Premises that may be visible from the exterior of the Building or any interior common area.

(c) Roof . To fully control and prohibit all access to, construction, placement and repair of all improvements and equipment located on the roof of the Building, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Addendum. Landlord shall not install or permit installation of any rooftop equipment that unreasonably interferes with Tenant’s equipment. Tenant has reviewed the Shell and Core plans and agree that the rooftop equipment proposed will not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s equipment.

(d) Keys . To retain and use at any time passkeys to enter the Premises or any door within the Premises. Tenant shall have the right to install, maintain and operate its own security system for the Premises provided that Landlord is provided a means of accessing the Premises as and when permitted by this Lease.

 

- 20 -


(e) Access . To have access to inspect the Premises, and to perform its obligations, or make repairs, alterations, additions or improvements, as permitted by this Lease. In exercising its rights to enter the Premises under this paragraph or any other provision of this Lease, Landlord shall comply with Tenant’s reasonable requirements with respect to security (including any requirement that Landlord enter certain areas only when accompanied by a Tenant representative, except as necessary in emergency situations) and health and safety as well as all requirements with respect to cleanliness or other laboratory standards in laboratory areas. Landlord shall use diligent efforts not to interfere with Tenant’s business operations. Landlord shall treat all information about Tenant’s operations obtained by entering the Premises as confidential, shall not disclose such information to any other person and shall cause all of Landlord’s employees to abide by such prohibition. Landlord shall require any third party entering the Premises to execute and deliver to Tenant a nondisclosure or confidentiality agreement on a form provided by Tenant.

(f) Floor Loading . Tenant shall not exceed floor loads of one hundred twenty-five (125) pounds per square foot live load, unless approved by Landlord.

(g) Show Premises . To show the Premises to prospective purchasers, brokers, lenders, investors, and rating agencies at any reasonable time and to prospective tenants during the final twelve (12) months of the term if Tenant has not exercised an option to extend the term, provided that Landlord gives prior notice to Tenant and does not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises. Landlord shall comply with Section 11(e) in exercising its rights under this Section 11(g).

(h) Use of Lockbox . To designate a lockbox collection agent for collections of amounts due Landlord. In that case, the date of payment of Rent or other sums shall be the date of the agent’s receipt of such payment or the date of actual collection if payment is made in the form of a negotiable instrument thereafter dishonored upon presentment. However, Landlord may reject any payment for all purposes as of the date of receipt or actual collection by mailing to Tenant within 21 days after such receipt or collection a check equal to the amount sent by Tenant. Notices to Landlord delivered to the lockbox, shall not, under any circumstance, be deemed to have been received by Landlord; it being understood that notices to Landlord must be delivered in the manner set forth in Section 22 hereof.

(i) Repairs and Alterations . To make repairs or alterations to the Project and in doing so transport any required material through the Premises and to temporarily close entrances, doors, corridors, elevators and other facilities in the Project, to open any ceiling in the Premises, or to temporarily suspend services or use of Common Areas in the Building. Landlord may perform any such repairs or alterations during ordinary business hours , except that Tenant may require any work in the Premises to be done after business hours if Tenant pays Landlord for overtime and any other expenses incurred. If necessary to protect Tenant’s laboratory work, Tenant may further require that work done in the Premises be limited in time and manner, provided that Tenant shall pay Landlord for any additional reasonable expenses actually incurred by reason of such time and manner requirements. In any event, Landlord shall use diligent efforts in connection with such work to avoid unreasonable interference with Tenant’s operations. Landlord may do or permit any work on any nearby building, land, street, alley or way.

(j) Landlord’s Agents . If Tenant is in default under this Lease, possession of Tenant’s funds or negotiation of Tenant’s negotiable instrument by any of Landlord’s agents shall not waive any breach by Tenant or any remedies of Landlord under this Lease.

(k) Building Services . To install, use and maintain above the ceiling or beneath the floor of the Premises, pipes, conduits, wires and ducts serving the Building, provided that such installation, use and maintenance does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises or any equipment or systems therein, provided, however, that Tenant shall not alter such areas so that Landlord will be prevented from maintaining those portions of the Shell and Core, or other tenant’s necessary systems, in such areas. If Landlord needs to so install through the Premises but below the ceiling or above the floor, such installation shall require Tenant’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned, provided that Tenant’s consent may include conditions requiring a reasonable method of installation which creates the least interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises or any equipment or systems therein.

(l) Other Actions . To take any other reasonable action in connection with the operation, maintenance or preservation of the Building.

 

- 21 -

(b) Assignment/Sublease Default . Tenant defaults in its obligations under Section 17 Assignment and Sublease;

(c) Other Performance Default . Tenant fails to perform any other obligation to Landlord under this Lease and this failure continues for twenty (20) days after written notice from Landlord (provided, however, that the notice and cure period shall be reduced to ten (10) days if the alleged default affects other tenants in the Project), except that if Tenant begins to cure its failure within the twenty (20) day period but cannot reasonably complete its cure within such period, then, so long as Tenant continues to diligently attempt to cure its failure, the twenty (20) day period shall be extended sixty (60) days, or such lesser period as is reasonably necessary to complete the cure;

(d) Credit Default . One of the following credit defaults occurs:

(i) Tenant commences any proceeding under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or relief of debts, or seeks appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for the Tenant or for any substantial part of its property, or any such proceeding is commenced against Tenant and either remains undismissed for a period of sixty (60) days or results in the entry of an order for relief against Tenant which is not fully stayed within sixty (60) days after entry;

(ii) Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt, does not generally pay its debts as they become due, or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(iii) Any third party obtains a levy or attachment under process of law against Tenant’s leasehold interest, which is not reversed or stayed within sixty (60) days after the entry thereof.

13. LANDLORD REMEDIES .

(a) Termination of Lease or Possession . If Tenant defaults, Landlord may elect by notice to Tenant either to terminate this Lease or to terminate Tenant’s possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease. In either case, Tenant shall immediately vacate the Premises and deliver possession to Landlord, and Landlord may repossess the Premises in accordance with applicable laws and may, at Tenant’s sole cost, remove any of Tenant’s signs and any of its other property, without relinquishing its right to receive Rent or any other right against Tenant.

(b) Lease Termination Damages . If Landlord terminates this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all Rent due on or before the date of termination, plus Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the aggregate Rent that would have been payable from the date of termination through the Termination Date, reduced by the rental value of the Premises calculated as of the date of termination for the same period, taking into account anticipated vacancy prior to reletting, reletting expenses and market concessions, both discounted to present value at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. If Landlord shall relet any part of the Premises for any part of such period before such present value amount shall have been paid by Tenant or finally determined by a court, then the amount of Rent payable pursuant to such reletting (taking into account vacancy prior to reletting and any reletting expenses or concessions) shall be deemed to be the reasonable rental value for that portion of the Premises relet during the period of the reletting.

(c) Possession Termination Damages . If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession without terminating this Lease and Landlord takes possession of the Premises itself, Landlord may relet any part of the Premises for such Rent, for such time, and upon such terms as Landlord in its commercially reasonable discretion shall determine, without any obligation to do so prior to renting other vacant areas in the Building provided that Landlord must make reasonable efforts to relet the Premises and otherwise mitigate its damages. Any proceeds from reletting the Premises shall first be applied to the expenses of relating, including redecoration, repair, alteration, advertising, brokerage, legal, and other reasonably necessary expenses, all of which shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the new lease and Landlord’s damages shall include only that portion attributable to the

 

- 22 -


remaining term of this Lease. If the reletting proceeds after payment of expenses are insufficient to pay the full amount of Rent under this Lease, Tenant shall pay such deficiency to Landlord monthly upon demand as it becomes due. Any excess proceeds shall be retained by Landlord.

(d) Landlord’s Remedies Cumulative . All of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease shall be in addition to all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity. Waiver by Landlord of any breach of any obligation by Tenant shall be effective only if it is in writing, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any other breach, or any subsequent breach of the same obligation. Landlord’s acceptance of payment by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Tenant except for any breach with respect to the payment so accepted. Landlord may advance such monies and take such other actions for Tenant’s account as reasonably may be required to cure or mitigate any default by Tenant. Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any such advance, and such sums shall bear interest at the default interest rate until paid.

(e) Landlord’s Cure . Landlord may cure any default by Tenant; any expenses incurred shall become Additional Rent due from Tenant on demand by Landlord.

14. SURRENDER . Upon termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in good order and condition, ordinary wear and casualty damage excepted. If Landlord required Tenant to remove any alterations, then Tenant shall remove the alterations in a good and workmanlike manner and restore the Premises to its condition prior to their installation.

15. HOLDOVER . Tenant shall have no right to holdover possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. If Tenant retains possession of any part of the Premises after the Term, Tenant shall become a month-to-month tenant for the entire Premises upon all of the terms of this Lease as might be applicable to such month-to-month tenancy, except that Tenant shall pay Base Rent at 150% of the rate in effect immediately prior to such holdover plus Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent computed on a monthly basis for each full or partial month Tenant remains in possession. Tenant shall also pay Landlord all of Landlord’s direct damages. No acceptance of Rent or other payments by Landlord under these holdover provisions shall operate as a waiver of Landlord’s right to regain possession or any other of Landlord’s remedies.

16. SUBORDINATION TO GROUND LEASES AND MORTGAGES .

(a) Subordination . This Lease shall be subordinate to any future ground lease or mortgage respecting the Project, and any amendments to such ground lease or mortgage, at the election of the ground lessor or mortgagee as the case may be, effected by notice to Tenant in the manner provided in this Lease; provided , however , that such subordination shall not be effective unless such ground lessor or Mortgagee executes and delivers to Tenant a nondisturbance agreement in a commercially reasonable form acceptable to Tenant and such ground lessor or mortgagee. Tenant shall within ten (10) business days of the request either provide written objections to the form provided or execute and deliver to the requesting party any reasonable documents provided to evidence the subordination provided that such documents shall (i) provide Tenant’s rights under the Lease shall not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods, (ii) not modify this Lease in any respect; and (iii) not increase Tenant’s obligations (except that Tenant may be required to provide copies of notices to the mortgagee or ground lessor) or decrease Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Any mortgagee has the right, at its option, to subordinate its mortgage to the terms of this Lease, without notice to, nor the consent of, Tenant.

(b) Termination of Ground Lease or Foreclosure of Mortgage . If any ground lease is terminated or mortgage foreclosed or deed, in lieu of foreclosure given and the ground lessor, mortgagee, or purchaser at a foreclosure sale shall thereby become the owner of the Project, Tenant shall attorn to such ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser without any deduction or setoff by Tenant except as permitted herein, and this Lease shall continue in effect as a direct lease between Tenant and such ground lessor, mortgagee or purchaser. The ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser shall be liable as Landlord only during the time such ground lessor or mortgagee or purchaser is the owner of the Project. At the request of Landlord, ground lessor or mortgagee, Tenant shall execute and deliver within ten (10) business days of the request any reasonable document furnished by the requesting party to evidence Tenant’s agreement to attorn.

 

- 23 -


(c) Security Deposit . Any ground lessor or mortgagee shall be responsible for the return of any Security Deposit to Tenant as provided under this Lease, but only to the extent the Security Deposit is transferred to such ground lessor or mortgagee.

(d) Notice and Right to Cure . If the Project is subject to any ground lease or mortgage and Landlord has notified Tenant of the name and address of the ground lessor or mortgagee, Tenant agrees to send by registered or certified mail to any ground lessor or mortgagee so identified, a copy of any notice of default sent by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the required time period under this Lease, but the ground lessor or mortgagee begins to cure within ten (10) days after such period and proceeds diligently to complete such cure, then the ground lessor or mortgagee shall have such additional time as is necessary to complete such cure, including any time necessary to obtain possession if possession is necessary to cure provided that such party promptly and diligently pursues legal action to obtain possession, and Tenant shall not begin to enforce its remedies so long as the cure is being diligently pursued.

(e) Definitions . As used in this Section 16 , “mortgage” shall include a deed of trust, trust deed or mortgage; “mortgagee” shall include a beneficiary, trustee, or mortgagee (including the mortgagee of any ground lessee); and “ground lessor,” “mortgagee,” and “purchaser at a foreclosure sale” shall include, in each case, all of its or their respective successors and assigns.

17. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASE .

(a) In General . Except as provided in Section A of the Schedule and elsewhere herein, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (i) make or allow any assignment or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, (ii) grant or allow any lien or encumbrance, by operation of law or otherwise, upon any part of Tenant’s interest in this Lease, (iii) sublet any part of the Premises, or (iv) permit anyone other than Tenant and its employees to occupy any part of the Premises (each of which shall be referred to herein as a “ Transfer ”. A Transfer to any entity Controlling, Controlled by or under common Control with Tenant shall not be prohibited and shall not be covered by any of Sections 17(d), 17(e) or 17(g), provided, however, that such a Transfer shall be subject to all the provisions of this Section 17 if it is part of a plan or multiple step transfer to transfer to an entity not under common control with Tenant. Tenant shall provide Landlord with thirty (30) days advance written notice of any such Transfer.

(b) [intentionally omitted]

(c) Tenant Primarily Liable . Tenant shall remain primarily liable for all of its obligations under this Lease, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer. No consent granted by Landlord shall be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or transfer, lien or encumbrance, sublease or occupancy. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other third-party expenses reasonably incurred in connection with any proposed Transfer. Any assignment or transfer, grant of lien or encumbrance, or sublease or occupancy without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be void. If Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises in its entirety any rights of Tenant to renew this Lease, extend the Term or to lease additional space in the Building, shall be transferred to the assignee or subtenant.

(d) Landlord’s Consent . It shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to any Transfer if (i) the proposed transferee is a party to whom Landlord has submitted a proposal to lease space in the Building within the previous one hundred eighty (180) days, (ii) the proposed transferee is an existing tenant in the Building and Landlord has space available in the Building to accommodate all of such tenant’s space needs, (iii) the financial responsibility, nature of business, and character of the proposed transferee are not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (iv) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord the purpose for which the transferee intends to use the Premises (or a portion thereof) is not in keeping with Landlord’s standards for the Building or is in violation of the terms of this Lease, or (v) Tenant is in default under this Lease at the time consent is requested. The foregoing shall not exclude any other reasonable basis for Landlord to withhold its consent.

Tenant’s obligation to remediate any Environmental Condition shall not be contingent on an enforcement action by any governmental authority and shall be independent of any governmentally mandated remediation. If Landlord approves the plan, then Tenant shall implement the remediation plan at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If the remediation plan is not reasonably acceptable to Landlord, or if Tenant fails to implement the remediation plan within a reasonable period of time, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual cost to Landlord of performing rectifying work.

The Building Shell and Core shall include at least two conduits of four inches in diameter for the exclusive use of Tenant. Tenant shall have the right to enter portions of the Building outside of the Premises for the purpose of accessing its conduits, and shall use reasonable efforts not to disturb other tenants in so doing. The installation of a fiber optic terminal is subject to a provider determining whether the Building will generate demand for such terminal sufficient to justify the installation. In the alternative, Tenant may elect to pull its own fiber and in such event a fiber optic terminal shall be installed whether or not any provider makes such a determination. From time to time during the Term, Tenant may install, maintain, replace, remove and use communications or computer wires, cables and related devices (collectively, the “ Lines ”) at the Building in or serving the Premises, only with Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed by Landlord so long as there is adequate capacity for such Lines in the risers for the Building.

Landlord shall have a reasonable time in which to evaluate the request after it is submitted by Tenant.

(ii) Without in any way limiting Landlord’s right to withhold its consent, Landlord may consider the following factors, among others, in making its determination: (A) the experience, qualifications and prior work practice of the proposed contractor and its ability to provide sufficient insurance coverage for its work at the Building; (B) whether or not the proposed work will interfere with the use of any then existing Lines at the Building; (C) whether or not an acceptable number of spare Lines and space for additional Lines shall be maintained for existing and future occupants of the Building; (D) a requirement that Tenant remove existing abandoned Lines installed by or on behalf of Tenant located in or servicing the Premises, as a condition to permitting the installation of new lines; (E) whether or not Tenant is in default of any of its obligations under this Lease; (F) whether the proposed work or resulting Lines will impose new obligations on Landlord, expose Landlord to liability of any nature or description, increase Landlord’s insurance premiums for the Building, create liabilities for which Landlord is unable to obtain insurance protection or imperil Landlord’s insurance coverage; (G) whether the work or resulting Lines would adversely affect the Land, Building or any space in the Building in any manner.

(iii) Landlord’s approval of, or requirements concerning, the Lines or any equipment related thereto, the plans, specifications or designs related thereto, the contractor or subcontractor, or the work performed hereunder, shall not be deemed a warranty as to the adequacy thereof, and Landlord hereby disclaims any responsibility or liability for the same.

(vi) Landlord reserves the right to require that Tenant remove any Lines located in or serving the Premises which are installed in violation of these provisions, or which are at any time in violation of any laws or present a dangerous or potentially dangerous condition (provided such Lines were installed by Tenant), within three (3) days after written notice and at the termination of the Lease.

(b) Landlord’s Rights . Provided that Tenant’s business operations and equipment are not affected, Landlord may (but shall not have the obligation to):

(i) install new lines at the Building;

(ii) create additional space for Lines at the Building; and

(iii) direct, monitor and/or supervise the installation, maintenance, replacement and removal of, the allocation and periodic re-allocation of available space (if any) for, and the allocation of excess capacity (if any) on, any Lines now or hereafter installed at the Building by Landlord, Tenant or any other party (but Landlord shall have no right to monitor or control the information transmitted through such Lines); provided that no allocation shall require Tenant to remove any Lines that provide

 

- 31 -


service to Tenant to accommodate another building tenant. Landlord’s rights do not include the installation of Lines within Tenant’s exclusive conduit, or any modification to Tenant’s Lines or related wiring closets and termination points, it being the parties’ intent that Tenant’s Lines and related equipment be entirely separate and secure from other Lines in the Building.

(c) Indemnification . In addition to any other indemnification obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its employees, agents, officers; and contractors from and against any and all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) arising out of or in any way related to the acts and omissions of Tenant, Tenant’s officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, subtenants, and invitees with respect to: (i) any Lines or equipment related thereto serving Tenant in the Building; (ii) any bodily injury (including wrongful death) or property damage arising out of or related to any Lines or equipment related thereto serving Tenant in the Building; (iii) any lawsuit brought or threatened, settlement reached, or governmental order, fine or penalty relating to such Lines or equipment related thereto; and (iv) any violations or laws or demands of governmental authorities, or any reasonable policies or requirement of Landlord, which are based upon or in any way related, to such Lines or equipment. This indemnification and hold harmless agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.

(d) Limitation of Liability . Except to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors or as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord shall have no liability for damages arising from, and Landlord does not warrant that the Tenant’s use of any Lines will be free from the following (collectively called Line Problems): (i) any shortages, failures, variations, interruptions, disconnections, loss or damage caused by the installation, maintenance, or replacement, use or removal of Lines by or for other tenants or occupants at the Building, by any failure of the environmental conditions or the power supply for the Building to conform to any requirement of the Lines or any associated equipment, or any other problems associated with any Lines by any other cause; (ii) any failure of any Lines to satisfy Tenant’s requirements; or (iii) any eavesdropping or wiretapping by unauthorized parties. Landlord, in no event, shall be liable for damages by reason of loss or profits, business interruption or other consequential damage arising from any Line Problems,

(e) Electromagnetic Fields . If Tenant at any time uses any equipment that may create an electromagnetic field exceeding the normal insulation ratings of ordinary twisted pair riser cable or cause radiation higher than normal background radiation, Landlord reserves the right to require Tenant to appropriately insulate the Lines therefore (including riser cables) to prevent such excessive electromagnetic fields or radiation. Landlord shall include in the leases for all other tenants in the Project the same requirement to take protective measures with respect to their equipment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the parties’ intent that the Building and Premises shall meet or exceed existing codes, and Tenant shall have no liability under the foregoing to the extent its equipment meets or exceeds existing codes.

29. LIMITATION ON LANDLORD LIABILITY . In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant and all successors and assigns covenant and agree that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord:

(a) [Intentionally omitted]

Additional Lease Terms

This Addendum is made a part of the Lease between 307 WESTLAKE LLC, a Washington limited liability company (“Landlord”), and: CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AND REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER , a Washington nonprofit corporation (“Tenant”) dated November 8, 2002 (the “Lease”). Undefined terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Lease. The following terms, covenants, and agreements are made a part of the Lease (if a provision of this Addendum conflicts with any provision contained in the Lease, then the provision of this Addendum shall control):

1. Options to Extend . Landlord does hereby grant to Tenant (each an “Extension Option”) the right, privilege, and option to extend this Lease for three (3) periods of five (5) years each (each an “Extension Term”) from the date of expiration of the initial Term hereof or the prior Extension Term, as applicable, upon the same terms and conditions as herein contained, except as to “Base Rent” which shall be determined in accordance with the following paragraphs. In the event Tenant desires to exercise its option to extend this Lease, then at least eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term or the applicable Extension Term, Tenant shall give Landlord a written notice binding upon Tenant and Landlord (the “Extension Notice”), exercising an Extension Option, but subject to withdrawal as permitted below. In the event that Tenant fails to give an Extension Notice, as set forth herein, then Tenant’s right to extend this Lease shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

Base Rent during each Extension Term shall be set at a figure which is equal to 95% of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises at the time of commencement of each Extension Term, as determined by mutual agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. As used herein, the term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the per-square-foot rental rate for a triple-net lease between a willing landlord, and a willing tenant, for comparable space, leased for a comparable term, with comparable quality construction (assuming shell and core space comparable to that provided under this Lease with a tenant improvement allowance equal to the Allowance as provided in Exhibit D subject to the CPI Adjustment (provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with any Allowance for any Extension Term), but excluding the value of all other existing tenant improvements or tenant alterations in the Premises paid for by Tenant), in comparable projects in the City of Seattle, taking into consideration: rental rates, location, extent of service provided or to be provided, the time the particular rate under consideration became or is to become effective, method of expense pass through, creditworthiness of the tenant, security deposits, and any other relevant terms or conditions. In no event shall there be deducted from such Fair Market Rent, the value of any concessions, including without limitation tenant improvements, commissions, free rent and/or “downtime”.

As used herein, the phrase “shell and core space comparable to that provided under this Lease” shall mean a building shell and core with: cast in place concrete with band beams to control vibration to 2000 micro inches/second and mild reinforcing steel to allow for future penetrations of the slab; 125 psf live load capacity; floor heights of 13’-0” clear; below-grade parking at 1 stall per 1000 square feet of rentable area; two passenger elevators and one freight elevator; main lobby complete with bathrooms; each tenant floor core area with elevator openings finished, restrooms complete, electrical room, telecommunications room and janitorial room; HVAC system utilizing a chilled water variable air volume rooftop equipment with 100% outside air and 1.5 cfm per gross square foot and vertical supply and return shafts to each floor; two vertical connectivity shafts for tenant exhaust ducts; two electrical rooms on each floor with a 480/277 volt distribution panel, a 225 kva 120/208 step down transformer and a 120/208 distribution panel in each room; fire sprinkler system for common areas and up heads; fire alarm system for common areas and connectivity available to each floor; and card key access system to building entrances, elevators and parking garage and connectivity for tenant spaces.

 

ADDENDUM NO. 1

PAGE - 1


As used herein, the term “CPI Adjustment” shall mean the percentage increase, if any, in the Monthly Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, Seattle Average, for all Items (1982-84 = 100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor (“CPI”) last published prior to the time of Fair Market Rent determination. The base period of the adjustment shall be the monthly CPI most recently published prior to the Commencement Date. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics ceases to use the: 1982-84 average as the basis of calculation, or the CPI is discontinued, the parties mutually shall agree on a substitute index of comparable statistics on the cost of living for the county in which the Premises is located, as shall be computed by an agency of the United States or by a responsible financial periodical of recognized authority.

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon said Fair Market Rent within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of an Extension Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), then the matter shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Section 1 . The parties agree to a standard of good faith and reasonableness in their attempts to affirmatively resolve the issue of Fair Market Rent.

(a) If the parties are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, each party shall give notice (the “Determination Notice”) to the other setting forth its respective determination of the Fair Market Rent. If the difference between the parties’ respective determinations of the Fair Market Rent set forth in the Determination Notices is less than or equal to five percent (5%) of the higher determination then the parties’ determinations shall be averaged and the average shall be the Fair Market Rent. If the difference between the two determinations is greater than five percent (5%), the matter shall be submitted for decision to a panel of three arbitrators. Within 30 days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one arbitrator who is an MAI real estate appraiser, with at least ten (10) years’ full-time commercial appraisal experience in the Seattle, Washington area and who is neutral and has not rendered services to either Landlord or Tenant or their respective Affiliates within the preceding five (5) year period. The two arbitrators so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days after the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth above for qualification of the initial two arbitrators. Failing such agreement, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to petition for the appointment of the third arbitrator by the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of King County.

(b) The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Tenant’s proposed Fair Market Rent set forth in its Determination Notice is the closest to the actual fair market rent for the Premises. The arbitrators shall not have the power to add to, modify, or change any of the provisions of this Lease.

(c) The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Tenant’s proposed Fair Market Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. The arbitrators shall be directed to use best efforts to reach a decision on Fair Market Rent on or before the date that is four (4) months after the date the Extension Notice is delivered. The decision of a majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.

(d) Each party shall each bear the cost of the arbitrator appointed by it directly and the cost of the third arbitrator shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Tenant. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ and experts fees in the arbitration process.

(e) If the arbitrators choose Landlord’s Determination Notice, Tenant shall have the right to withdraw the Extension Notice within ten (10) business days following the determination of the arbitrators, in which event Tenant shall pay the entire cost of arbitration (including, but not limited to, all reasonable appraisal fees Landlord has incurred in connection with the Extension Notice, whether incurred before or during the arbitration, and any other reasonable third party fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the arbitration) and the Lease Term shall terminate without extension. If the arbitrators choose Tenant’s Determination Notice, Tenant shall have no right to withdraw its Extension Notice.

 

ADDENDUM NO. 1

PAGE - 2


(f) Unless Tenant exercises its right to withdraw the Extension Notice under paragraph (e), Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver an amendment to the Lease reflecting the extension and the Base Rent for the Extension Term.

If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon or to complete the arbitration proceeding with respect to determination of the Fair Market Rent for an Extension Term prior to the first day of the applicable Extension Term, Tenant will, during any such Extension Term, pay Base Rent at a rate equivalent to a three and one-quarter percent (2.91%) increase of the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the Extension Term in question until the parties agree upon the new Base Rent, or until the Base Rent is determined in arbitration pursuant to this Section 1 . The amount of the new Base Rent for the applicable Extension Term will be applied retroactively to the beginning of such Extension Term, and any rent adjustment will be made in connection with the next installment of Base Rent then due.

Any option to extend the Lease term may not be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than Tenant or to an entity to whom Tenant’s interest under this Lease has been or is being assigned in accordance with Section 17 of this Lease. The Extension Options herein granted to Tenant are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise any Extension Option:

(i) During the time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Tenant a written notice that: Tenant is in default under any provisions of this Lease, and continuing until the default alleged in said notice is cured (provided, however, that this provision shall not prevent Tenant from exercising an Extension Option if Tenant is not actually in default at the time the notice is given);

(ii) During the period of time commencing on the day after a monetary obligation to Landlord is due from Tenant and unpaid (without any necessity for notice thereof to Tenant) continuing until the obligation is paid; or

(iii) If a default in Payment of Rent has occurred under Section 12(a) of the Lease in the twelve (12) months prior to Tenant’s exercise of an Extension Option.

The period of time within which an Extension Option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant’s inability to exercise the Extension Option because of the foregoing provisions and/or restrictions.

2. Tenant Signage; Building Name . Tenant shall have signage on the Building directory at Landlord’s cost. Landlord shall install, at its cost, signage with Tenant’s name at each suite entrance and at the elevator lobby of any floor on which Tenant occupies space. The Building shall have a sign at the main entrance on Westlake Avenue identifying the Building as “307 Westlake”. SBRI has the exclusive right to name the building and install an exterior sign immediately below the 307 Westlake sign, identifying the name of the Building as approved by Landlord. Tenant shall have the right to install an exterior sign below any sign installed by SBRI, provided that such sign shall be solely for purposes of identifying CHRMC as a tenant and shall not include any CHRMC donor name, or donor symbol or logo. Tenant’s exterior sign shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. All of Tenant’s signage shall be subject to the Building signage standards, to the reasonable review and approval of Landlord and the rules and requirements of applicable government authorities.

3. Sales Tax Deferral .

All or portions of construction of the Building Shell and Core and the Tenant Improvements may be eligible for deferral of state and local sales and use taxes pursuant to RCW Chapter 82.63 (and any regulations promulgated in connection therewith) because Tenant will use the Premises for high technology research and development. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in the preparation and processing of applications with the Washington State Department of Revenue for a deferral of state and local sales and use taxes with respect to the construction of the Building Shell and Core (the “Tax Deferral”), which Landlord shall timely file in accordance

 

ADDENDUM NO. 1

PAGE - 3


with all statutory, regulatory and departmental requirements. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in the preparation and execution of any certificates or other documents required by the Department of Revenue to maintain the Tax Deferral, and Landlord shall be responsible for the timely and proper filling of such certificates and documents. Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to prepare and each shall execute any certificates or other documents required by the Department of Revenue to obtain or maintain a tax deferral for the Tenant Improvements, which Tenant shall be responsible for filing. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the Base Rent assumes Landlord will receive a Tax Deferral on 42.3% of the costs of the Building shell and core. Landlord and Tenant further agree that the economic benefit of the assumed Tax Deferral cost savings has been passed on to Tenant in the Base Rent set forth in this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that all or a portion of the Tax Deferral may be required to be paid if the use of the Premises fails or ceases to qualify for the Tax Deferral. In the event all or any portion of the Tax Deferral is required to be paid because of a determination that Tenant’s use (or changed use) does not qualify, or due to any act or failure to act by Tenant (but not due to Landlord’s failure to timely file and process conforming applications and other documents with the Department of Revenue), then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the total amount of the Tax Deferral that Landlord is required to pay, promptly when due by Landlord, together with any penalties, interest or other charges that are or become due in connection with such taxes and arise out of Tenant’s nonqualifying use or any act or failure to act by Tenant. Such reimbursement amount or amounts shall become due as Additional Rent and Tenant shall pay such amounts promptly when due.

4. Shared Facilities Agreement . Concurrently with and as a condition on the execution of this Lease, Tenant and SBRI are entering into a Shared Facilities Agreement (“SFA”), under which certain laboratory-related services in the Building, located in SBRI’s leased premises, will be accessible to and shared by both SBRI and Tenant. Landlord acknowledges the existence of the SFA, and agrees that SBRI’s entering into the SFA and performing SBRI’s obligations under the SFA are not violations of the SBRI lease. Other than as expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no obligation with respect to the Shared Facilities. Without limiting Landlord’s obligations under Paragraph 5 and 6 of this Addendum, and except as provided in Section 3, Tenant shall have no right to abate Rent or make any claim against Landlord with respect to the Shared Facilities. Pursuant to Tenant’s Right to Expand in Paragraph 6 of this Addendum, Tenant shall have the right, upon termination of SBRI’s tenancy in the Building, to lease the portion of SBRI’s premises in which Shared Facilities are located.

5. Right of First Offer to Lease Additional Space in the Building . Provided that Tenant is not in default under the terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall have a Right of First Offer to lease additional space as provided in this Paragraph 5 .

(a) Grant of First Right of Offer . Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a “Right Of First Offer” to lease all space located on the fourth (4th) and fifth (5th) floors of the Building, (the “Remaining Space”). If Landlord proposes to Lease, grant a right of possession in, or to extend the term of any lease or other occupancy agreement affecting the Remaining Space (except for any extension or renewal rights provided for in the SBRI Lease, or any new lease with SBRI as on the termination of SBRI’s existing lease term), or any portion thereof, Landlord may do so only after offering to lease the Remaining Space (the “Offered Space”) to Tenant on the terms and conditions set forth in this Paragraph 5 .

(b) Term of First Right of Offer . The term of this Right of First Offer shall commence on the Commencement Date of the Lease and shall continue until the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease; provided that the Right of First Offer shall expire if Landlord subsequently enters into a Complying Lease (as defined in Section 3(f) below). The Right of First Offer shall be subject and subordinate to all initial leases of the Remaining Space, and shall be subordinate to any new lease to SBRI after expiration of the existing SBRI lease.

(c) Notice of Intent to Lease . Landlord shall give written notice to Tenant of its intent to lease any of the Remaining Space (“Landlord’s Notice”). The Landlord’s Notice shall set forth the following basic business terms (collectively the “Basic Business Terms”): (i) the description of the Offered Space; (ii) the tenant improvement allowance, if any, Landlord is willing to offer; (iii) the minimum rent for the initial term of the lease and the formula, allowances for operating expenses, and Tenant’s obligation to pay taxes, assessments, insurance costs, and the like; and (vii) any other business terms Landlord elects to specify.

 

ADDENDUM NO. 1

PAGE - 4


(d) Exercise of Right of First Offer . Tenant may elect to exercise its Right Of First Offer with respect to the Offered Space by giving Landlord written notice of such election on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery of Landlord’s Notice. Tenant’s failure to give written notice of an election to exercise its Right Of First Offer within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed a waiver of its Right Of First Offer with respect to the Offered Space if Landlord enters into a Complying Lease with respect to such Offered Space.

(e) Terms of Lease . Upon Tenant’s exercise of the Right Of First Offer, Landlord shall lease to Tenant and Tenant shall lease from Landlord the Offered Space on the terms and conditions of this Lease, with such modifications as are necessary to make the lease for the Offered Space consistent with the Basic Business Terms stated in Landlord’s Notice. The parties also shall execute a written lease in the same form as this Lease, modified to incorporate the Basic Business Terms set forth in Landlord’s Notice and to eliminate any terms of the Lease that are inconsistent with the Basic Business Terms. The parties shall use good faith efforts to finalize the Offered Space Lease within forty-five (45) days of Tenant’s exercise of its Right of First Offer.

(f) Landlord’s Right to Lease . If Tenant does not indicate in writing its election to lease the Offered Space within the time period described in subparagraph (d) , above, Landlord thereafter shall have the right to lease the Offered Space, provided: (i) a valid lease is executed by Landlord with a third party tenant within one hundred eighty (180) days after delivery of Tenant’s election not to exercise its Right of First Offer (or, the expiration of Tenant’s election period if no notice is delivered by Tenant under subparagraph (d)) ; and (ii) the lease of the Offered Space is at a rental rate of not less than ninety-two and  1 2 percent (92.5%) of the rental rate specified in the Basic Business Terms for a lease term and on other terms at least as favorable (to a landlord) as the other Basic Business Terms set forth in Landlord’s Notice; it being agreed that Landlord shall be allowed to reduce the rental rate in consideration of a decreased TI allowance, and to increase the TI allowance in consideration of an increased rental rate (a “Complying Lease”). If Landlord enters into a Complying Lease of all or a portion of the Offered Space, such Offered Space covered by the Complying Lease shall no longer be subject to the Right of First Offer. Any lease of the Offered Space not meeting the criteria of the prior sentence shall be deemed a new determination by Landlord to lease the Offered Space and may not be consummated unless Tenant is again offered the right to lease such Offered Space in accordance with the provisions of this Right of First Offer; provided , however , that the time period for Tenant to respond to a subsequent Landlord’s Notice for Offered Space, which was previously offered to, but not leased by, Tenant, shall be reduced from the thirty (30) calendar day period specified in subparagraph (d) , above, to a ten (10) business day period following Tenant’s receipt of the subsequent Landlord’s Notice.

6. Right to Expand . Landlord hereby grants Tenant a right to expand into the, “Shared Services Space”, which is shown on Exhibit L to this Lease. If the SBRI Lease or SBRI’s or its successor’s occupancy under the SBRI Lease terminates as to any or all of the Shared Facilities Space, Landlord shall first offer such space to Tenant on the terms in this Paragraph 6. If Landlord offers any or all of the Shared Services Space, Tenant shall have the option to expand by leasing all but not less than all of the available Shared Services Space. Such option shall be exercisable only by written notice within 30 days after Landlord’s notice. Upon such exercise, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease under which the Premises is expanded to include the Shared Services Space, with Base Rent for the Shared Services Space being equal to 57% of Tenant’s Base Rent per RSF for floors 2 and 3 as is then in effect under this Lease, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be increased to reflect the expansion of the Premises. If the Shared Facilities to be leased includes the Generator, the Lease amendment shall further provide that Tenant shall make the generator available to provide back-up power for the fire and life safety systems serving the Building (including elevator, elevator pressurization, emergency lighting). During the Term of the Lease, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for 15% of the annual maintenance, repair and replacement expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with such equipment; such reimbursement to be made promptly following Landlord’s receipt of written invoices therefor. Tenant shall be responsible for ensuring that all such equipment complies with all applicable Governmental Requirements.

If Tenant does not exercise its right to expand into the Shared Services Space within 30 days after Landlord’s notice, then Tenant shall have no further right to expand into any of the Shared Services Space.

7. Rooftop Equipment . In addition to the Premises and for no additional charge, Tenant shall be entitled to install and maintain certain equipment on the roof of the Building, including but not limited to supplemental HVAC equipment and communications devices such as antenna or satellite dishes (collectively, the “Rooftop Equipment”), and to connect such Rooftop Equipment to the

1.1 Building Shell and Core . As used herein, “Building Shell and Core” shall mean those items described in the Shell and Core Plans. Landlord or Landlord’s general contractor (“Landlord’s GC”) shall construct the Building Shell and Core at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all laws in effect at the time of construction. The Building Shell and Core shall be constructed in accordance with the Shell and Core Plans and any modifications thereto approved pursuant to this Exhibit D . Landlord shall be solely responsible for the costs of design, permitting, installation and construction of the Building Shell and Core. Landlord shall be responsible for obtaining temporary and final certificates of occupancy for the Building Shell and Core, including common areas.

1.2 Development of Complete Plans . To the extent the Shell and Core Plans are not a complete set of construction drawings, Landlord shall develop a final set of construction drawings and specifications (the “Final Shell and Core Plans”) in consultation with Tenant. The Final Shell and Core Plans shall be consistent with and a logical extension of the Shell and Core Plans in terms of design, quality, appearance and functionality. The Final Shell and Core Plans shall be approved by Landlord and Tenant and such approval shall be evidenced by initialing the final set of drawings. Landlord shall be responsible for ensuring that the Final Shell and Core Plans are complete in time to complete construction by the date, set forth in the Lease. Landlord shall notify Tenant of and Tenant shall be entitled to participate in all meetings with the architect and engineers preparing the Final Shell and Core Plans. If the Shell and Core Plans are revised after Tenant has begun the Final Contract Drawings (as defined in Paragraph 3.1 below) and as a result of such changes in the Shell and Core Plans Tenant is obligated to revise its Drawings then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all costs of such revisions. If Landlord does not reimburse Tenant prior to the Commencement Date then Tenant may offset the costs incurred against Rent under the Lease.

1.3 Changes to Shell and Core Plans . Landlord shall not make any changes or modifications to the Final Shell and Core Plans that are material or that would impact the Premises, Tenant’s obligations under the Lease or design of the Tenant Improvements except with the prior written approval of Tenant; provided , however , that Landlord may make changes to the extent required by any applicable governmental authority or as necessary to address any circumstance or condition arising during construction which was not reasonably foreseeable at the time the Final Shell and Core Plans were completed and approved by the parties and in such event, Landlord shall make good faith efforts to involve Tenant in the decision-making process and shall involve Tenant in any event in the decision-making process concerning any change that would have a material effect on the Tenant Improvement Plans or on Tenant’s access to, use or enjoyment of the Premises or Common Areas. Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant of any such changes and shall provide updated Final Shell and Core Plans clearly identifying the changes and, if applicable, shall provide a copy of the change order between Landlord and its contractor. All costs related to such changes shall be borne solely by Landlord. Any dispute with respect to Tenant’s approval under this provision shall be subject to mediation and arbitration in accordance with Paragraph 7 below.

1.4 Substantial Completion . Landlord shall be deemed to have substantially completed the Building Shell and Core (“Substantial Completion”) when (i) Landlord’s architect shall have determined that the Building Shell and Core is substantially complete in accordance, with the Final Shell and Core Plans as evidenced by AIA Document G704 (Certificate, of Substantial Completion) or a comparable a written statement from Landlord’s architect, a copy of which shall be provided to Tenant; (ii) Tenant shall have complete and unimpeded access from the street to the elevator lobby on the floor or floors on which the Premises are located; (iii) services (including HVAC, life safety, plumbing and mechanical systems) and utilities required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant shall be available in the quantities and at the service level required under the Lease; (iv) Tenant shall have the use of the number of parking spaces required under the Lease; and (v) the City of Seattle shall have issued a temporary certificate of occupancy

 

EXHIBIT D-1


for the Building Shell and Core. Substantial Completion shall be deemed to have occurred notwithstanding the requirement to complete a “punchlist” of corrective work or to complete balancing or other minor adjustments to the Building systems that do not affect Tenant’s ability to operate comfortably in the Premises.

THIRD AMENDMENT OF LEASE

THIS THIRD AMENDMENT (“Third Amendment”), dated as of March 1, 2007, is by and between 307 WESTLAKE LLC , a Washington limited liability company, as Landlord, and CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL AND REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER , a Washington nonprofit corporation, as Tenant, and amends the Lease between them dated as of November 8, 2002, as amended by the First Amendment of Lease dated as of December 18, 2003, and the Second Amendment of Lease dated June 23, 2003, providing for the lease of certain Premises in Landlord’s project at 307 Westlake Avenue North, Seattle WA (“Lease”).

RECITALS

A. Contemporaneously with this Third Amendment, Tenant, as “Assignor” is entering into that certain Agreement for Assignment and Assumption of Lease and Termination of Shared Facilities Agreement (the “Assignment”) with Seattle Biomedical Research Institute as “Assignee”. Assignee is also a Tenant in the Building pursuant to that certain Lease between Assignee and Landlord dated June 14, 2002, as amended by that First Amendment to Lease dated November 8, 2002, and that Second Amendment to Lease dated June 17, 2003, and that Third Amendment to Lease effective November 1, 2005 (the “SBRI Lease”).

NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant amend the Lease as follows:

1. Extension Options . Paragraph 1 to Addendum No. 1 to the Lease is hereby amended and replaced with the following replacement Paragraph 1.

1. Options to Extend . Landlord does hereby grant to Assignee under that certain Agreement for Assignment and Assumption of Lease and Termination of Shared Facilities Agreement dated effective March 1, 2007 (the “Assignment”) the right, privilege, and option to extend this Lease (each an “Extension Option”) for three (3) periods of five (5) years each (each an “Extension Term”) from the date of expiration of the initial Term hereof or the prior Extension Term, as applicable, upon the same terms and conditions as herein contained, except as to “Base Rent”, which shall be determined in accordance with the following paragraphs, and except that a Security Deposit shall be required, which shall be determined in accordance with the following paragraphs. In the event Assignee desires to exercise its option to extend this Lease, then at least eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term or the applicable Extension Term, Assignee shall give Landlord a written notice binding upon Assignee and Landlord (the “Extension Notice”), exercising an Extension Option. If Assignee exercises an Extension Option in the manner set forth herein Landlord and Assignee shall promptly execute and deliver an amendment to the Lease. In the event that Assignee fails to give an Extension Notice, as set forth herein, then Assignee’s right to extend this Lease shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.

The Extension Options hereunder may be exercised only by Assignee under the Assignment. Assignor may not exercise the Extension Options. If the first Extension Option is exercised by Assignee, Assignor shall be released from all liabilities arising under this Lease after the commencement of the first Extension Term. No Extension Option may be exercised or be assigned, voluntarily or involuntarily, by or to any person or entity other than the Assignee or a party to which the Lease is transferred that would qualify as a Permitted Transfer in Section 17(b) of the SBRI Lease. Further, the Extension Options herein granted to Assignee are not assignable separate and apart from this Lease.

Base Rent during each Extension Term shall be set at a figure which is equal to 95% of the Fair Market Rent for the Premises at the time of commencement of each Extension Term, as determined by mutual agreement between Landlord and Assignee, or by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. As used herein, the term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the per-square-foot rental rate for a triple-net lease between a willing landlord and a willing tenant, for comparable space, leased for a comparable term, with comparable quality construction (assuming shell and core space comparable to that provided under this Lease with a tenant improvement allowance equal to the Allowance as provided in Exhibit D subject to the CPI Adjustment (provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Assignee with any Allowance for any

 

1


Extension Term), but excluding the value of all other existing tenant improvements or tenant alterations in the Premises paid for by Assignor or Assignee), in comparable projects in the City of Seattle, taking into consideration: rental rates, location, extent of service provided or to be provided, the time the particular rate under consideration became or is to become effective, method of expense pass through, creditworthiness of the tenant, security deposits, and any other relevant terms or conditions. In no event shall there be deducted from such Fair Market Rent, the value of any concessions, including without limitation tenant improvements, commissions, free rent and/or “downtime”.

As used herein, the phrase “shell and core space comparable to that provided under this Lease” shall mean a building shell and core with: cast in place concrete with band beams to control vibration to 2000 micro inches/second and mild reinforcing steel to allow for future penetrations of the slab; 125 psf live load capacity; floor heights of 13’ 0” clear; below grade parking at 1 stall per 1000 square feet of rentable area; two passenger elevators and one freight elevator; main lobby complete with bathrooms; each tenant floor core area with elevator openings finished, restrooms complete, electrical room, tele communications room and janitorial room; HVAC system utilizing a chilled water variable air volume rooftop equipment with 100% outside air and 1.5 cfm per gross square foot and vertical supply and return shafts to each floor; two vertical connectivity shafts for tenant exhaust ducts; two electrical rooms on each floor with a 480/277 volt distribution panel, a 225 kva 120/208 step down transformer and a 120/208 distribution panel in each room; fire sprinkler system for common areas and up heads; fire alarm system for common areas and connectivity available to each floor; and card key access system to building entrances, elevators and parking garage and connectivity for tenant spaces.

As used herein, the term “CPI Adjustment” shall mean the percentage increase, if any, in the monthly Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, Seattle Average, for all Items (1982-84 = 100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Department of Labor (“CPI”) last published prior to the time of Fair Market Rent determination. The base period of the adjustment shall be the monthly CPI most recently published prior to the Commencement Date. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics ceases to use the 1982-84 average as the basis of calculation, or the CPI is discontinued, the parties mutually shall agree on a substitute index of comparable statistics on the cost of living for the county in which the Premises is located, as shall be computed by an agency of the United States or by a responsible financial periodical of recognized authority.

Subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided, Assignee shall be required, no less than six (6) months prior to the commencement of the first Extension Term, to deposit with Landlord a Security Deposit equal to the number of months of Base Rent Assignee has as a Security Deposit under the SBRI Lease at the time of its exercise of the first Extension Option, multiplied by the monthly Base Rent on the Premises under the first Extension Term of this Lease. If, however, either party believes the security deposit for the Premises as calculated in the preceding sentence is not commercially reasonable (given prevailing market conditions, the financial condition of Assignee, and other relevant factors), then such party may suggest a different security deposit amount. If the parties cannot agree on the security deposit within ninety (90) days of Assignee’s exercise of the first Extension Option, the dispute shall be submitted to arbitration following the procedures of Section 25(z) of the Assignee Lease. Assignee’s exercise of the Extension Option shall not be conditioned upon agreement to a revised security deposit amount. The parties agree that, upon Assignee’s exercise of the first Extension Option, the parties will have entered into a binding commitment to the first Extension Term, and any disputes regarding the security deposit amount for the Premises shall be resolved pursuant to the terms of the Assignee Lease. The parties also shall prepare and execute a written Lease amendment requiring the Security deposit on the same terms as the Assignee Lease.

If Landlord and Assignee are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within ninety (90) days after Landlord’s receipt of an Extension Notice (the “Negotiation Period”), then the matter shall be determined by arbitration pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 1. The parties agree to a standard of good faith and reasonableness in their attempts to affirmatively resolve the issue of Fair Market Rent.

(a) if the parties are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, each party shall give notice (the “Determination Notice”) to the other setting forth its respective determination of the Fair Market Rent. If the difference between the parties’ respective determinations of the Fair Market Rent set forth in the Determination

 

2


Notices is less than or equal to five percent (5%) of the higher determination then the parties’ determinations shall be averaged and the average shall be the Fair Market Rent. If the difference between the two determinations is greater than five percent (5%), the matter shall be submitted for decision to a panel of three arbitrators. Within 30 days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Landlord and Assignee shall each appoint one arbitrator who is an MAI real estate appraiser, with at least ten (10) years’ full-time commercial appraisal experience in the Seattle, Washington area and who is neutral and has not rendered services to either Landlord or Assignee or their respective Affiliates within the preceding five (5) year period. The two arbitrators so appointed shall within fifteen (15) days after the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria set forth above for qualification of the initial two arbitrators. Failing such agreement, either Landlord or Assignee shall have the right to petition for the appointment of the third arbitrator by the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of King County.

(b) The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord’s or Assignee’s proposed Fair Market Rent set forth in its Determination Notice is the closest to the actual fair market rent for the Premises. The arbitrators shall not have the power to add to, modify, or change any of the provisions of this Lease.

(c) The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator reach a decision as to whether the parties shall use Landlord’s or Assignee’s proposed Fair Market Rent, and shall notify Landlord and Assignee thereof. The arbitrators shall be directed to use best efforts to reach a decision on Fair Market Rent on or before the date that is ten (10) months after the date the Extension Notice is delivered. The decision of a majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Assignee.

(d) Each party shall each bear the cost of the arbitrator appointed by it directly and the cost of the third arbitrator shall be paid one-half by Landlord and one-half by Assignee. Each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ and experts fees in the arbitration process.

(e) Once Rent is determined (by agreement or otherwise), Landlord and Assignee shall promptly execute and deliver an amendment to the Lease reflecting the extension and the Base Rent for the Extension Term.

If Landlord and Assignee are unable to agree upon or to complete the arbitration proceeding with respect to determination of the Fair Market Rent for an Extension Term prior to the first day of the applicable Extension Term, Assignee will, during any such Extension Term, pay Base Rent at a rate equivalent to a three and one-quarter percent (3.25%) increase of the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the Extension Term in question until the parties agree upon the new Base Rent, or until the Base Rent is determined in arbitration pursuant to this Paragraph 1. The amount of the new Base Rent for the applicable Extension Term will be applied retroactively to the beginning of such Extension Term, and any rent adjustment will be made in connection with the next installment of Base Rent then due.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, Assignee shall not have the right to exercise any Extension Option:

(i) During the time commencing from the date Landlord gives to Assignee a written notice that Assignee is in default under any provisions of this Lease, and continuing until the default alleged in said notice is cured (provided, however, that this provision shall not prevent Assignee from exercising an Extension Option if Assignee is not actually in default at the time the notice is given);

(ii) During the period of time commencing on the day after a monetary obligation to Landlord is due from Assignee and unpaid (without any necessity for notice thereof to Assignee) continuing until the obligation is paid; or

 

3


(iii) If a default in Payment of Rent has occurred under Section 12(a) of the Lease in the twelve (12) months prior to Assignee’s exercise of an Extension Option.

The period of time within which an Extension Option may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Assignee’s inability to exercise the Extension Option because of the foregoing provisions and/or restrictions.

2. Deletion of Right of First Offer and Right to Expand . Paragraph 5 and Paragraph 6 of Addendum No. 1 to the Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety.

3. Cross Default . From and after the commencement of any Extension Term of this Lease, any default by Assignee under the SBRI Lease shall be a default under this Lease, and any default by Assignee under this Lease shall be a default under the SBRI Lease. Such defaults shall entitle Landlord to exercise any and all remedies under either the SBRI Lease or this Lease.

4. Assignment and Sublease . Until such time as Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center exercises its Power of Termination pursuant to Section 7 of the Assignment, Paragraph 17(a) through (f) of the Lease are hereby deleted and replaced with Paragraph 17(a) through (g) of the SBRI Lease (Paragraph 17(g) of the Lease shall remain in effect and shall apply to Assignee as tenant under the Lease, provided only that it shall hereafter be designated as Paragraph 17(h) of the Lease). If Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center exercises its Power of Termination, the original Section 17 shall thereafter apply.

5. Correction of Termination Date . Landlord and Tenant hereby desire to correct and confirm the Lease Termination Date. Landlord and Tenant signed a Confirmation of Commencement Date indicating the Termination Date was to be March 21, 2017. Landlord and Tenant agree that the true Termination Date should be June 29, 2017.

6. Except as amended hereby, the Lease remains in full force and effect.

7. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts and may be delivered by fax transmission.
