Pursuant to the Amended Lease, the Company will lease approximately 10,500 square feet of office space at 400 Madison Avenue, New York, New York from the Landlord, consisting of approximately 3,865 square feet of office space that had comprised the existing premises under the Original Lease (the Existing Premises) and an additional 6,635 square feet of office space that comprises the expansion premises under the Amendment (the Expansion Premises).

The base rent for the Existing Premises under the Amended Lease, including electricity charges, will be $25,605.63 per month ($6.63 per square foot) for the period from November 1, 2020 until the rent for the Expansion Premises first escalates and will escalate thereafter as described in the Amendment.

RIDER TO LEASE DATED May 16, 2016 BETWEEN 400 MADISON HOLDINGS, LLC, AS OWNER (OWNER), AND REGENXBIO INC., AS TENANT (TENANT).
37. TERM: FIXED RENT.
(a) (i) The term of this lease shall commence on the earlier to occur of (1) the Substantial Completion Date (as hereinafter defined) and (2) the date on which Tenant, or anyone acting by, through or under Tenant shall take possession of all or any portion of the Demised Premises for any purpose whatsoever, other than for the purpose of performing Pre possession Activities pursuant to the provisions of Section 37(a)(ii) below (the earlier of such dates, the Commencement Date) and shall end at 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), provided that if the Commencement Date is not the first (1st) day of a calendar month, the term of this lease shall end on the last day of the calendar month in which the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date occurs (the Expiration Date), or on such earlier date upon which the term of this lease shall expire or be canceled or terminated pursuant to any of the terms, conditions or covenants of this lease or pursuant to law.
(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 37(a)(i) above,
(A) Tenant may have access to the Demised Premises prior to the Substantial Completion Date for the sole purpose of inspecting the Demised Premises, checking on the progress of the Owners Initial Work (as hereinafter defined), taking measurements and installing cables and wiring for Tenants telephone, computer and data systems (but not the systems themselves, which Tenant may install after the Commencement Date) (collectively, Pre-possession Activities) and such access shall not be deemed to trigger the Commencement Date. Pre-possession Activities shall not include installation or storage of (and Tenant shall not install or store) any materials, equipment or furniture in the Demised Premises prior to the Commencement Date. Doing so shall trigger the Commencement Date and Owner shall have no responsibility or liability for the safekeeping of any such items.
(B) In connection with all Pre-possession Activities (and as a condition to Owners permitting the same):
(1) Tenant shall comply with all applicable provisions of this lease governing alterations prior to requesting access to the Demised Premises therefor and shall comply with all applicable Building-standard reasonable rules and regulations of Owner in connection with such activities (it being agreed that Owners consent shall not be required with respect to Tenants performance of Pre-possession Activities, but Tenant shall nevertheless provide Owner with a reasonably detailed description of the work being performed and the schedule therefor);
(2) Tenant shall not interfere in any respect with the performance of Owners Initial Work, it being agreed that, subject to Section 37(a)(ii)(A) above, Owner and Tenant shall coordinate the conduct of the Pre-possession Activities so as to minimize such interference;
(3) Any delay suffered by Owner in the performance of Owners Initial Work by reason of such Pre-possession Activities shall constitute a Tenants Delay (as defined in Section 50(c) below) for purposes of this lease;
(4) Tenant shall make its initial request for access in connection with each Pre-possession Activity constituting a distinct activity (or project) upon not less than three (3) Business Days prior notice given by telephone and email to both Randall Meckel (212-755-3123; rmeckel@macklowe.com) and Kenneth Dillon (212-554-5813; kdillon@macklowe.com), except for the taking of measurements and performing inspections, which request shall be made on reasonable advance notice (which may be made orally); and
-1-
(5) Owner shall have no obligation to provide for the protection or safekeeping of any materials or equipment left or installed in the Demised Premises in connection with any Pre-possession Activities and Owner shall have no liability for damage or theft thereof, except to the extent arising out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Owner or Owners members, partners, directors, officers, agents, employees, contractors, invitees or licensees.
(b) The rental rate per period payable hereunder (sometimes referred to herein as the rent. Rent, or Fixed Rent) shall be as set forth in Schedule A annexed hereto and made a part hereof. Fixed Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment, in equal monthly installments in advance on the Rent Commencement Date and thereafter on the first day of each month during the term of this lease, at the office of Owner or at such other place in the continental United States (excluding Alaska) as Owner may designate in writing, without any offset, reduction, deduction, defense and/or counterclaim whatsoever; provided, however, that the first monthly installment of rent shall be paid concurrently with the execution and delivery of this lease and such payment shall be applied to the monthly installment of rent due on the Rent Commencement Date. For purposes of this lease, the term Additional Charges shall mean all charges, fees and other sums of money (other than Fixed Rent) as shall be due and payable from time to time by Tenant to Owner pursuant to this lease. Fixed Rent and periodic Additional Charges shall be prorated for any partial period on a per diem basis.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this lease, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of the Fixed Rent payable for the period (the Abatement Period) from and including the Commencement Date to, but not including, the three (3) month anniversary of the Commencement Date (such 3-month anniversary, the Rent Commencement Date), provided, however, that during the Abatement Period, Tenant shall not be relieved of its obligation to pay the portion of Fixed Rent applicable to electricity charges pursuant to Article 42 below with respect to the Abatement Period, plus any Additional Charges with respect to the Abatement Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this lease shall terminate (or Owner shall re-enter the Demised Premises) during the first two years of the term of this lease due to Tenants default hereunder, Tenant shall immediately repay to Owner the amounts abated during the Abatement Period.
(d) Promptly after the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Owner and Tenant shall confirm the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date, the First Rent Adjustment Date (as defined in Schedule A below) and the Expiration Date by executing an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Owner and Tenant; provided, that, the failure by Owner or Tenant to execute such an instrument shall not affect the determination of such dates pursuant to the provisions of this lease.
38. TAXES.
(a) The terms defined below shall for the purposes of this lease have the meanings herein specified:
(i) Taxes shall mean all real estate taxes, sewer rents, water frontage charges and other assessments, special or otherwise, levied, assessed or imposed by the City of New York or any other taxing authority upon or with respect to the Building and the land thereunder (the Land) and all taxes assessed or imposed with respect to the rentals payable hereunder, other than general income, gross receipts and excess profits taxes (except that general income, gross receipts and excess profits taxes shall be included if covered by the provisions of the following sentence). Taxes shall also include any taxes, charges or assessments levied, assessed or imposed by any taxing authority in addition to or in lieu of the present method of real estate taxation, provided such additional or substitute taxes, charges and assessments are computed as if the Building were the sole property of Owner subject to said additional or substitute tax, charge or assessment. With respect to any Tax Year, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable legal, experts and other witnesses fees, incurred in contesting the validity or amount of any Taxes or in obtaining a refund of Taxes, shall be considered as part of the Taxes for such Tax Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Taxes shall not include personal property taxes, franchise taxes, gift taxes, capital or stock taxes, succession or inheritance taxes or estate taxes. Tenant hereby waives any right to institute or join in tax certiorari proceedings or other similar proceedings contesting the amount or validity of any Taxes.
-2-
(ii) Tax Year shall mean each period of twelve (12) months, commencing on the first day of July of each such period, in which occurs any part of the term of this lease, or such other period of twelve (12) months occurring during the term of this lease as hereafter may be duly adopted as the fiscal year for real estate tax purposes of the City of New York.
(iii) Tax Statement shall mean an instrument or instruments setting forth Tenants Tax Payment (as hereinafter defined). Each Tax Statement shall be accompanied by a copy of the tax bills (or other evidence of the Taxes) upon which Tenants Tax Payment has been calculated. Upon request of Tenant, the first Tax Statement delivered to Tenant, shall include the tax bills for the Tax Years included in the definition of Base Taxes (as hereinafter defined) or other evidence of the calculation of the Base Taxes.
(iv) Tenants Percentage shall mean 2.113%.
(v) Base Taxes shall mean the average of (1) the Taxes payable for the Tax Year commencing July 1, 2015 and ending June 30, 2016 and (2) the Taxes payable for the Tax Year commencing July 1, 2016 and ending June 30, 2017.
(b) If the Taxes payable for any Tax Year shall exceed the Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Owner, as Additional Charges for such Tax Year, an amount (herein called the Tax Payment) equal to Tenants Percentage of the amount by which the Taxes payable by Owner for such Tax Year are greater than the Base Taxes.
(c) The Tax Payment for each Tax Year shall be due and payable in installments in the same manner that Taxes for such Tax Year are due and payable by Owner to the City of New York, except that Tenant shall pay each installment of the Tax Payment to Owner within thirty (30) days after Owner delivers the applicable Tax Statement to Tenant Owners failure to render a Tax Statement with respect to any Tax Year shall not prejudice Owners right thereafter to render a Tax Statement with respect to any such Tax Year nor shall the rendering of a Tax Statement prejudice Owners right thereafter to render a corrected Tax Statement for that Tax Year.
(d) In the event Taxes for any Tax Year or part thereof shall be reduced after Tenant shall have paid Tenants Tax Payment in respect of such Tax Year which reduction results in an overpayment by Tenant in respect of such Tax Payment, Owner shall set forth in the first Tax Statement thereafter submitted to Tenant the amount of such overpayment and, provided that Tenant is not then in default in the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Charges and is not in default of any other provision of this lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of such overpayment against the installment or installments of Tenants Tax Payment next falling due equal to Tenants Percentage of such refund, but in no event shall the credit exceed the amount of the Additional Charges paid by Tenant with respect to Taxes for said Tax Year, or if the term of this lease has ended, Owner shall refund such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Owner receives the benefit of such tax reduction. If the Taxes comprising the Base Taxes are reduced as a result of an appropriate proceeding or otherwise, the Taxes as so reduced shall for all purposes be deemed to be Taxes for the Base Taxes, and Owner shall give notice to Tenant of the amount by which the Tax Payments previously made were less than the Tax Payments required to be made under this Article 38, and Tenant shall pay the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor accompanied by a calculation of the adjustment for each Tax Year affected.
(e) The expiration or termination of this lease during any Tax Year for any part or all of which there is a Tax Payment or refund due under this Article 38 shall not affect the rights or obligations of the parties hereto respecting such Tax Payment or refund and any Tax Statement relating to such Tax Payment shall, on a pro-rata basis, be sent to Tenant subsequent to, and all such rights and obligations shall survive, any such expiration or termination. Any such payment shall be (i) calculated based on a year of 365 days and paid based on the actual number of days elapsed and (ii) shall be payable within thirty (30) days after such Tax Statement is sent to Tenant.

39. ATTORNMENT AND NOTICE TO OWNER.
Supplementing the provisions of Article 7 of this lease:
(a) This lease, and all rights of Tenant hereunder, are and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground leases, overriding leases and underlying leases of the Land and/or the Building and/or that portion of the Building of which the Demised Premises are a part, now or hereafter existing and to all mortgages and assignments of leases and rents (each such mortgage or assignment is hereinafter referred to as a mortgage) which may now or hereafter affect the Land and/or the Building and/or that portion of the Building of which the Demised Premises are a part and/or any of such leases, whether or not such mortgages shall also cover other lands and/or buildings and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to be made under such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions of such leases and such mortgages and spreaders and consolidations of such mortgages. This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after written request from Owner, execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Owner, the lessor under any such lease or the holder of any such mortgage or any of their respective successors-in-interest may reasonably request to evidence such subordination. Any lease to which this lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called Superior Lease and the lessor of a Superior Lease or its successor in interest, at the time referred to, is herein called Superior Lessor; and any mortgage to which this lease is, at the time referred to, subject and subordinate is herein called Superior Mortgage and the holder of a Superior Mortgage is herein called Superior Mortgagee.
(b) If any act or omission of Owner would give Tenant the right, immediately or after lapse of a period of time, to cancel or terminate this lease, or to abate or offset against the payment of rent or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not exercise such right until (i) it has given written notice of such act or omission to Owner and each Superior Mortgagee and each Superior Lessor whose name and address shall previously have been furnished to Tenant and (ii) a reasonable period for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice (which reasonable period shall be the period to which Owner would be entitled under this lease or otherwise, after similar notice, to effect such remedy plus sixty (60) days). Owner represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this lease, (i) the holder of the only Superior Mortgage encumbering the Land and Building is JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 10 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603 and (ii) there is no Superior Lease. The provisions of this Section 39(b) shall not apply to Tenants right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Article 9 (as supplemented by Section 46(cc)), provided that Tenant notifies Lender at least sixty days prior to the termination date that Tenant intends to exercise such right.
(c) If any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee, or any designee of any Superior Lessor or Superior Mortgagee, shall succeed to the rights of Owner under this lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, then at the request of such party so succeeding to Owners rights (herein called Successor Owner), Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Owner as Owner under this lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Owner may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment this lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Owner and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this lease, except that the Successor Owner shall not be:
(i) liable for any previous act or omission of Owner (or its predecessors in interest);
(ii) responsible for any moneys owing by Owner to the credit of Tenant;
(iii) subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses which Tenant may have against Owner (or its predecessors in interest);
(iv) bound by any payments of rent which Tenant might have made for more than one (1) month in advance to Owner (or its predecessors in interest);
(v) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Demised Premises or any portion thereof;
(vi) required to account for any security deposit other than any security deposit actually delivered to the Successor Owner;
-4-
(vii) bound by any obligation to make any payment to Tenant or grant or be subject to any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance, and restoration provided for under this lease to be performed after the date of attornment and which Owners of like properties ordinarily perform at the owners expense, it being expressly understood, however, that the Successor Owner shall not be bound by an obligation to make payment to Tenant with respect to construction performed by or on behalf of Tenant at the Demised Premises;
(viii) bound by any modification of this lease made without the written consent of the Superior Mortgagee or Superior Lessor, as the case may be; or
(ix) required to remove any person occupying the Demised Premises or any part thereof.
(d) If a Superior Mortgagee or prospective superior mortgagee shall request modifications to this lease, Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or defer Tenants consent thereto, provided that such modifications shall not increase Tenants monetary obligations hereunder or increase tenants non-monetary obligations hereunder by more than a de minimis amount or adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created or impair Tenants rights hereunder, in any case by more than a de minimis amount. In no event shall a requirement that the consent of any such Superior Mortgagee or prospective superior mortgagee be given for any modification of this lease or for any assignment or sublease, be deemed to materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created.
40. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
(a) (i) Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law or otherwise (A) assign or otherwise transfer this lease or the term and estate hereby granted, or offer or advertise to do so, (B) sublet the Demised Premises or offer or advertise to do so, or allow the same to be used, occupied or utilized by anyone other than Tenant, (C) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise hypothecate this lease or the Demised Premises or any part thereof in a manner whatsoever or (D) permit the Demised Premises or part thereof to be occupied, or used for desk space, mailing privileges or otherwise, by any person other than Tenant without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Owner, except as otherwise provided pursuant to the express provisions of this Article 40.
(ii) Tenant expressly covenants and agrees that (A) if Tenant is a corporation, a transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) at any one time or, in the aggregate from time to time of the shares of any class of the issued and outstanding stock of Tenant, its successors or assigns, or the issuance of additional shares of any class of its stock to the extent of more than 50% of the number of shares of said class of stock issued and outstanding at the time that it became the tenant hereunder or (B) if Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company, unincorporated association or other entity, the sale or transfer of more than 50% of the partnership, membership, joint venture, unincorporated association interests or other form of beneficial interests of Tenant, its successors or assigns, shall constitute an assignment of this lease and, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 40(b), unless in each instance the prior written consent of Owner has been obtained, shall constitute a default under this lease and shall entitle Owner to exercise all rights and remedies provided for herein in the case of default. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 40(a)(ii), transfers of stock in a corporation whose shares are traded in the over-the-counter market or any recognized national securities exchange shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this lease, provided that the principal purpose of such transfer or transfers is not to avoid the restrictions on assignment otherwise applicable under this Article 40.
(b) (i) If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or similar entity, Owners consent shall not be required, with respect to sublettings to any corporation or similar entity or to any limited liability company, partnership or similar entity which is an Affiliate of Tenant, provided that (1) any such Affiliate is a reputable entity of good character, (2) a duplicate original instrument of sublease in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, duly executed by Tenant and such Affiliate, shall have been delivered to Owner within ten (10) days after the effective date of any such sublease and (3) such sublease is for a legitimate business purpose and not principally for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions on subleasing otherwise applicable under this Article 40. For purposes of this Article 40, the term Affiliate shall mean any entity which controls or is controlled by or under common control with tenant, and the term control shall mean, in the case of a corporation, ownership or voting control, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty (50%) percent of all the voting stock, and in case of a joint venture, limited liability company, partnership or similar entity, ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty (50%) percent of all the general or other partnership, membership (or similar) interests therein.

(ii) If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or similar entity, Owners consent shall not be required with respect to an assignment of this lease to an Affiliate of Tenant, provided that (1) the assignee is a reputable entity of good character, (2) a duplicate original instrument of assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, duly executed by Tenant, shall have been delivered to Owner within ten (10) days after the effective date of any such assignment, (3) an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, duly executed by the assignee, in which such assignee assumes (as of the Commencement Date) observance and performance of, and agrees to be personally bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease on Tenants part to be performed and observed shall have been delivered to Owner not later than ten (10) days after the effective date of such assignment, (4) such assignment is for a legitimate business purpose and not principally for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions on assignment otherwise applicable under this Article 40 and (5) Tenant and such assignee have a combined net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the effective date of such assignment.
(iii) If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or similar entity, Owners consent shall not be required with respect to an assignment of this lease to a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or similar entity into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or transactions with a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or similar entity to which all or substantially all of Tenants assets are sold, provided that (1) the successor to Tenant is a reputable entity of good character, (2) a duplicate original instrument of assignment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, duly executed by Tenant and such Affiliate, shall have been delivered to Owner within ten (10) days after the effective date of any such assignment, (3) an instrument in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, duly executed by the assignee, in which such assignee assumes (as of the Commencement Date) observance and performance of, and agrees to be bound by, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease on Tenants part to be performed and observed shall have been delivered to Owner not more than ten (10) days after the effective date of such assignment, (4) such assignment is for a legitimate business purpose and not principally for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions on assignment otherwise applicable under this Article 40 and (5) such successor has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to the effective date of such assignment.
(c) If this lease be assigned, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this lease, Owner may collect rent from the assignee. If the Demised Premises are sublet or used or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, whether or not in violation of this lease, and thereafter Tenant is in default under this lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, Owner may thereafter collect rent payable to Tenant from the subtenant or occupant under its sublease or occupancy agreement. In either event, Owner shall apply the net amount collected to the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of Section 40(a), or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the performance by Tenant of Tenants obligations under this lease. The consent by Owner to a particular assignment, mortgaging, subletting or use or occupancy by others shall not in any way be considered a consent by Owner to any other or further assignment, mortgaging or subletting or use or occupancy by others not expressly permitted by this Article 40. References in this lease to use or occupancy by others (that is, anyone other than Tenant) shall not be construed as limited to subtenants and those claiming under or through subtenants but shall also include licensees and others claiming under or through Tenant, immediately or remotely.
(d) Any assignment or transfer, whether made with or without Owners consent, shall be made only if, and shall not be effective until, the assignee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Owner an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner whereby the assignee shall assume the obligations of this lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed (which shall be as of the effective date of such assignment, except for assignments made pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) above, which shall be as of and
-6-
after the Commencement Date) and whereby the assignee shall agree that the provisions in Section 40(a) shall, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it in respect of all future assignments and transfers. The original named Tenant covenants that, notwithstanding any assignment or transfer, whether or not in violation of the provisions of this lease, and notwithstanding the acceptance of Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges by Owner from an assignee, transferee, or any other party, the original named Tenant shall remain fully liable for the payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges and for the other obligations of this lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed.
(e) The joint and several liability of Tenant and any immediate or remote successor in interest of Tenant and the due performance of the obligations of this lease on Tenants part to be performed or observed shall not be discharged, released or impaired in any respect by any agreement or stipulation made by Owner extending the time of, or modifying any of the obligations of, this lease, or by any waiver or failure of Owner to enforce any of the obligations of this lease.
(f) The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the Demised Premises or the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest any right or interest in this lease or in the Demised Premises, nor shall it be deemed to be the consent of Owner to any assignment or transfer of this lease or to any sublease of the Demised Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 40, if Tenant shall at any time or times during the term of this lease desire to assign this lease or sublet all or any portion of the Demised Premises other than a transaction for which Owners consent is not required that is properly effectuated in accordance with the provisions of Section 40(b) above, Tenant shall give notice thereof to Owner, which notice shall be accompanied by (i) a conformed or photostatic copy of the proposed assignment or sublease, the effective or commencement date of which shall be at least 30 days after the giving of such notice, (ii) a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant, the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Demised Premises, and (iii) current financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant, including, without limitation, its most recent certified financial statements, if such financial statements are certified (or, if not, certified by the chief financial officer of the proposed assignee or subtenant as being true and correct). Such notice shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Owner whereby Owner (or Owners designee) may, at its option, (A) terminate this lease (if the proposed transaction is an assignment or a sublease of all or substantially all of the Demised Premises) or (B) terminate this lease with respect to the space covered by the proposed sublease (if the proposed transaction is a sublease of less than all or substantially all of the Demised Premises). Said option may be exercised by Owner by notice to Tenant at any time within 45 days after such notice has been given by Tenant to Owner; and during such 45-day period Tenant shall not assign this lease or sublet the Demised Premises to any person or entity.
(h) If Owner is entitled to the option to terminate this lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(g) above and Owner exercises its option to terminate this lease in the case where Tenant desires either to assign this lease or sublet all or substantially all of the Demised Premises, then this lease shall end and expire on the date that such assignment or sublet was to be effective or commence, as the case may be, and the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges shall be paid and apportioned to such date.
(i) If Owner is entitled to the option to terminate this lease pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(g) above and Owner exercises its option to terminate this lease with respect to the space covered by Tenants proposed sublease in any case where Tenant desires to sublet part of the Demised Premises, then (i) this lease shall end and expire with respect to such part of the Demised Premises on the date that the proposed sublease was to commence; (ii) from and after such date the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges shall be adjusted, based upon the proportion that the rentable area of the Demised Premises remaining bears to the total rentable area of the Demised Premises; and (iii) Tenant shall pay to Owner, upon demand, as Additional Charges hereunder the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Owner (without markup, fee, profit or overhead to Owner) in physically separating such part of the Demised Premises from the balance of the Demised Premises and in complying with any laws and requirements of any public authorities relating to such separation.
-7-
(j) In the event Tenant shall have complied with the provisions of Section 40(g) and Owner does not exercise its options pursuant to Section 40(g) to terminate this lease in whole or in part, and provided that Tenant is not in default of any of Tenants obligations under this lease beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, either at the time Owners consent to such assignment or sublease is requested or at the commencement of the term of any proposed sublease or on the effective date of any such assignment, Owners consent (which must be in writing and in form satisfactory to Owner) to the proposed assignment or sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided and upon condition that:
(i) In Owners reasonable judgment the proposed assignee or subtenant is engaged in a business and the Demised Premises will be used in a manner which is limited to the use expressly permitted under Article 2;
(ii) The proposed assignee or subtenant is a reputable person of good character whose tenancy shall comport with the first class character of the Building;
(iii) Neither (A) the proposed assignee or subtenant nor (B) any person which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the proposed assignee or subtenant or any person who controls the proposed assignee or subtenant, is (x) then an occupant of any part of the Building or (y) a person with whom Owner is then (or within the immediately preceding 6-month period was) negotiating to lease space in the Building;
(iv) The form of the proposed sublease shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Owner and shall comply with the applicable provisions of this Article 40 (including, without limitation Section 40(1) below);
(v) There shall not be more than one (1) occupant of the Demised Premises at any time (i.e., either Tenant or Tenants subtenant);
(vi) Tenant shall, concurrently with the delivery of Owners consent, pay Owner the reimbursement amounts due pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(p) below;
(vii) No advertisement for a proposed assignment or sublease shall have stated the proposed rental, and Tenant shall not have listed the Demised Premises (or any portion thereof) for assignment or subletting, whether through a broker, agent, representative, any computerized or electronic listing system or service (including, without limitation Co-Star or Re-locate) or otherwise, at a rental rate less than the fixed rent and additional charges at which Owner is then offering to lease other space in the Building. Nothing contained in this subclause (vii) shall be construed to prohibit Tenant from actually entering into a sublease at a rental less than the amount described in the preceding sentence or from listing the Demised Premises (or any portion thereof) for assignment or subletting in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.
(k) In the event that (i) Owner fails to exercise any of its options under Section 40(g), and consents to a proposed assignment or sublease, and (ii) Tenant fails to execute and deliver the assignment or sublease to which Owner consented within 45 days after the giving of such consent, then, Tenant shall again comply with all of the provisions and conditions of Section 40(g) before assigning this lease or subletting all or part of the Demised Premises.
(l) With respect to each and every sublease or subletting authorized by Owner or permitted without Owners consent under the provisions of this lease, it is further agreed:
(i) No subletting shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the expiration date of this lease.
(ii) Except for an assignment or sublease for which Owners consent is not required that is properly effectuated pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) above, no sublease shall be valid, and no subtenant shall take possession of the Demised Premises until an executed counterpart of such sublease has been delivered to Owner; provided, however, the foregoing shall not affect Tenants obligations and the conditions Tenant must satisfy with respect to an assignment or sublease effectuated pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) above.
-8-
(iii) Each sublease shall provide that it is subject and subordinate to this lease and to the matters to which this lease is or shall be subordinate, and that in the event of termination, re-entry or dispossess by Owner under this lease Owner may, at its option, take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor, under such sublease, and such subtenant shall, at Owners option, attorn to Owner pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that Owner shall not (A) be liable for any previous act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (B) be subject to any offset, not expressly provided in such sublease, which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, or (C) be bound by any previous modification of such sublease not previously consented to Owner in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or by any previous prepayment of more than one months rent.
(iv) Each sublease shall (A) provide that the subtenant may not assign its rights thereunder or further sublet the space demised under the sublease, in whole or in part, without Owners consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but such right to sublet or assign shall be subject to all other provisions of this Article 40, including, without limitation, Owners rights under Section 40(g) and (B) set forth the terms and provisions of Section 40(b), with the subtenant being subject to the restrictions in Section 40(b) applicable to Tenant.
(m) Except for an assignment or sublease for which Owners consent is not required that is properly effectuated pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) above, if the Owner shall give its consent to any assignment of this lease or to any sublease, Tenant shall in consideration therefor, pay to Owner, as Additional Charges, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Assignment Profit (hereinafter defined) or Sublease Profit (hereinafter defined), as the case may be.
(i) The term Assignment Profit as used herein shall mean an amount equal to the excess of (x) all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment, including, without limitation, any sums paid for Tenants fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property over (y) the Transaction Costs (as hereinafter defined).
(ii) The term Sublease Profit as used herein shall mean an amount equal to the excess of (x) any rents, additional charges or other consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant (including, without limitation, any fee, penalty or charge paid by the subtenant for the right to cancel the sublease) which is in excess of the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges accruing during the term of the sublease in respect of the subleased space (at the rate per square foot payable by Tenant hereunder) pursuant to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, any sums paid for the value of Tenants fixtures, leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, furnishings or other personal property over (y) the Transaction Costs.
(iii) The term Transaction Costs shall mean, with respect to any assignment or subletting, the following costs incurred by Tenant: the cost of work performed to prepare the Demised Premises for the assignee or subtenant, the sum of customary brokerage commissions incurred in connection with the assignment or sublease, and reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of the assignment or sublease (but not including attorneys fees incurred in connection with obtaining Owners consent to the assignment or sublease). In calculating Assignment Profit or Sublease Profit, all Transaction Costs shall be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease (or over the balance of the term of this lease in the case of an assignment). Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if Tenant does not deliver to Owner a complete list of the Transaction Costs (and reasonable supporting documentation) within sixty (60) days after Owner shall have consented to the assignment or sublease in question, time being of the essence, then for purposes of this Section 40(m), Tenant will be conclusively deemed to have incurred no such Transaction Costs, other than those Transaction Costs that had previously been provided to Owner pursuant to this Section 40(m).
(n) The sums payable under Section 40(m) above shall be paid to Owner as and when paid by the assignee or the subtenant, as the case may be, to Tenant. Tenant shall use all reasonable efforts to collect (1) in the case of an assignment, all sums and other consideration payable to it by the assignee for or by reason of such assignment and (2) in the case of a sublease, all rents, additional charges and other consideration payable to it under the sublease and, in every case, Tenant shall, from time to time upon written demand by Owner, provide Owner with an accounting of all such sums payable to it by any such assignee and/or subtenant.
-9-
(o) Each subletting shall be subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this lease. Notwithstanding any subletting and/or acceptance of rent or additional charges by Owner from any subtenant, Tenant shall and will remain fully liable for the payment of the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges due and to become due hereunder and for the performance of all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this lease on the part of Tenant to be performed and all acts and omissions of any licensee or subtenant or anyone claiming under or through any subtenant which shall be in violation of any of the obligations of this lease, and any such violation shall be deemed to be a violation by Tenant. Tenant further agrees that notwithstanding any such subletting, no other and further subletting of the Demised Premises by Tenant or any person claiming through or under Tenant shall or will be made except upon compliance with and subject to the provisions of this Article 40. If Owner shall decline to give its consent to any proposed assignment or sublease, or if Owner shall exercise any of its options under Section 40(g), Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner against and from any and all loss, liability, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) resulting from any claims that may be made against Owner by the proposed assignee or sublessee or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed assignment or sublease.
(p) Excluding any transaction for which Owners consent is not required that is properly effectuated in accordance with the provisions of Section 40(b) above, Tenant shall reimburse Owner either concurrently with the delivery of Owners consent or, if Owner shall deny consent, then within thirty (30) days after written demand, for the actual reasonable out-of-pocket costs that may be incurred by Owner in connection with the assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket costs of making investigations as to the acceptability of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and reasonable out-of-pocket legal costs incurred in connection with Tenants request for consent to such assignment or sublease.

(e) In the event of the failure of Tenant to procure or pay for any insurance required by the terms of this lease, and such failure is not remedied within three (3) business days after written notice of such failure by Owner to Tenant, then Owner may, without further notice to Tenant and in addition to any other remedies it may have, procure the same and pay the premiums therefor; and any reasonable sums expended by Owner for this purpose shall be and become due and payable to Owner as Additional Charges and shall be paid to Owner within thirty (30) days after written demand accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation of such sums.

(f) Owner may from time to time require that the amount of the insurance to be maintained by Tenant under this Article be increased to the amount which is then customarily required by prudent owners of first class office buildings in midtown Manhattan.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, including Article 9, to the extent Owner is required to repair the Demised Premises as a result of fire or other casualty.

42. ELECTRIC ENERGY.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this Article 42, Owner shall furnish the electric energy that Tenant shall reasonably require in the Demised Premises for the purposes permitted under this lease on a rent inclusion basis and there shall be no separate charge to Tenant for such electric energy, such electric energy being included in Owners services which are covered by the Fixed Rent. Owner and Tenant agree that the Base Electric Charge (hereinafter defined) represents the amount initially included in the annual Fixed Rent set forth in Section 37(b) hereof to cover the furnishing of such electric energy by Owner on a rent inclusion basis and that such Base Electric Charge component of Fixed Rent shall in no event be subject to reduction, but shall be subject to being increased as hereinafter provided. Owner shall not be liable in any event to Tenant for any failure, interruption or defect in the supply or character of electric energy furnished to the Demised Premises by reason of any requirement, act or omission of the public utility serving the Building with electricity or for any other reason not attributable solely to the willful misconduct or negligence of Owner, its agents, employees, servants or contractors (but in no event shall Owner be responsible for any consequential damages). Except in the event of an emergency, Owner shall notify Tenant prior to any anticipated service or utility interruption initiated by Owner and, subject to the provisions of this lease, Owner shall diligently prosecute such repair, maintenance and restoration thereof to completion. For purposes of this Article 42, the Base Electric Charge shall mean an annual amount equal to Thirteen Thousand Five Hundred Twenty-Seven and 50/100 Dollars ($13,527.50).
(b) Owner will furnish electric energy to Tenant through currently installed electric facilities for Tenants reasonable use of such lighting and other electrical fixtures, appliances and equipment required for the conduct of Tenants business in the Demised Premises. At any time, and from time to time, after Tenant shall have entered into possession of the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, Owner may designate an independent electrical consultant to make a survey or resurvey of the electrical consumption and power load on the Demised Premises to determine Tenants average electrical consumption and demand taking into account, such usage factors as Owner may reasonably determine. If the electrical consultant shall determine that either (i) Tenants average electrical consumption or (ii) the aggregate load of the electrical equipment connected by Tenant in the Demised Premises (excluding base-Building heat, air-conditioning, ventilation and other Building systems) is greater than Tenants Estimated Usage (as hereinafter defined), then the Fixed Rent hereunder shall, upon written notice from Owner to Tenant, be increased in the same proportion as such increase in Tenants consumption or connected load, as the case may be. The effective date of the increase in Fixed Rent as aforesaid shall be on the date that such increase in such electric consumption or connected load occurred (as reasonably determined by the electrical consultant) or, with respect to the initial
-12-
survey, as of the Commencement Date. The initial unpaid amount of each such adjustment shall be paid within thirty (30) days after Owner furnishes Tenant with a statement thereof. Thereafter, the Fixed Rent shall be increased appropriately. In no event shall the rent-inclusion component of Fixed Rent hereunder ever be less than the Base Electric Charge. As used herein, the term Tenants Estimated Usage means six (6) watts per usable square foot (connected load), but specifically excluding the electricity required to supply base-Building heat, air-conditioning, ventilation and other Building systems to the Demised Premises.
(c) If at any time during the term of this lease the Electric Rate (as hereinafter defined) shall be changed from the Electric Rate then in effect on the date of this lease (as same may have been increased or decreased pursuant to the provisions of this Article), then, effective as of the date of each such change in the Electric Rate, the charge for electricity included in the Fixed Rent shall be increased or decreased in proportion to such change in the Electric Rate (as determined by Owners electrical consultant but in no event, however, shall such electric consumption charge be reduced below the Electric Rate in effect on the date of this lease). The term Electric Rate shall mean at the time in question 112% of the public utility (and/or third party supplier) rate schedule (including all surcharges, taxes, fuel adjustments, taxes regularly passed on to consumers by the public utility, and other sums payable in respect thereof) for the supply of electric energy to Owner for the Building Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, if the public utility rate schedule (with such inclusions) applicable to Owner for the purchase of electric energy for the Building shall be less than the public utility rate schedule applicable to Owner if Owner were to purchase electricity solely for the Demised Premises, then the higher rate schedule shall be used in determining the Electric Rate.
(d) Tenants use of electric energy in the Demised Premises shall not at any time exceed the capacity of any of the electrical conductors and equipment in or otherwise serving the Demised Premises.
(e) Owner reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electric energy to Tenant in the Demised Premises at any time upon not less than ninety (90) days notice to Tenant. If Owner exercises such right, this lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except that from and after the effective date of such termination Owner shall not be obligated to furnish electric energy to Tenant and the Fixed Rent payable under this lease shall be reduced by the Base Electric Charge. If Owner so discontinues furnishing electric energy to Tenant, Tenant shall arrange to obtain electric energy directly from the public utility company furnishing electric energy to the Building. Such electric energy may be furnished to Tenant by means of the then existing Building system feeders, risers and wiring to the extent that the same are available, suitable and safe for such purpose. All meters and additional panel boards, feeders, risers, wiring and other conductors and equipment which may be required to obtain electric energy directly from such public utility company shall be furnished and installed by Owner at Owners expense.
(f) Owner represents and warrants that the capacity of the electrical conductors and equipment servicing the Demised Premises are, as of the date of this lease, capable of providing a connected load of not less than Tenants Estimated Usage, and will remain at least at such capacity during the term of this lease.
43. OWNERS SERVICES. Supplementing the provisions of Article 29 of this lease:
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 29(e) hereof, Owner shall, at Owners expense (except as set forth below), furnish to the Demised Premises at the temperatures, pressures and degrees of humidity and in volumes and velocities in accordance with the specifications annexed hereto as Exhibit F and made a part hereof and all applicable laws, (i) from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (the HVAC Hours) on Business Days, cool and tempered air (air-conditioning) from April 1 through October 31 (the Cooling Season) and (ii) during Business Hours on Business Days, heat during times other than the Cooling Season.

(c) Owner shall not be responsible for any failure to supply air-conditioning at reasonable temperatures, pressures or degrees of humidity or in reasonable volumes or velocities in any room or other area of the Demised Premises by reason of any machinery or equipment installed therein by Tenant, or which has a human occupancy factor in excess of one person per 100 rentable square feet.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, communications from Owner, such as correspondence and Rent bills for Fixed Rent and/or Additional Charges, which are sent in the ordinary course of business need only be sent to Tenant and may be sent exclusively by regular mail and Building-wide notices or notices to Tenant regarding operating and/or repairs at the Building may be sent to the Demised Premises. Notices given by Owners managing agent shall be deemed to constitute a valid notice if addressed and sent in accordance with the provisions of this Article 47.
-23-
48. HOLDOVER.
(a) If Tenant shall hold over after the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this lease, then Tenant shall pay on the first day of each month of the holdover period as Fixed Rent, an amount equal to the greater of (i) the sum of (1) the Applicable Percentage (as hereinafter defined) times one-twelfth of the sum of the Fixed Rent and (2) the Additional Charges payable by Tenant during the last year of the term of this lease and (ii) one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the fair market rental value of the Demised Premises during the holdover period. It is stipulated and agreed that Owner shall not be required to perform any work, furnish any materials or make any repairs within the Demised Premises during the holdover period (as determined by Owner). It is further stipulated and agreed that if Owner shall, at any time after the expiration or sooner termination of the term, proceed to remove Tenant from the Demised Premises as a holdover, the Fixed Rent and Additional Charges for the use and occupancy of the Demised Premises during any holdover period shall be calculated in the same manner as set forth above. No holding over by Tenant shall operate to extend the term of this lease. As used herein, Applicable Percentage means (x) 150% for the first month of the holdover and (y) 200% thereafter.
(b) Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the acceptance of any rent paid by Tenant pursuant to Section 48(a) above shall not preclude Owner from commencing and prosecuting a holdover or summary eviction proceeding, and the preceding sentence shall be deemed to be an agreement expressly providing otherwise within the meaning of Section 232-c of the Real Property Law of the State of New York.
(c) If Tenant shall hold-over or remain in possession of any portion of the Demised Premises beyond the date that is thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date, Tenant shall be subject not only to summary proceeding and all damages related thereto, but also to any damages arising out of any lost opportunities (and/or new leases) by Owner to re-let the Demised Premises (or any part thereof). All damages to Owner by reason of such holding over by Tenant may be the subject of a separate action and need not be asserted by Owner in any summary proceedings against Tenant.
49. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Supplementing the provisions of Article 34 hereof:
(a) On the date hereof, Tenant shall be obligated to deliver to Owner security in the amount of Two Hundred Twenty-Four Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Three and 14/100 Dollars ($224,653.14) (the Security Deposit) in the form of an unconditional irrevocable standby letter of credit (an L/C) in the original principal amount of the Security Deposit.
(b) Tenant shall deliver to Owner the L/C in the amount of the Security Deposit in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner, and naming Owner as beneficiary, as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of its obligations under this lease. The L/C and any renewal L/C shall be drawn on a bank or trust company located in New York City which is a member of the New York Clearing House Association, or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Owner. If Tenant defaults in the full and prompt payment and performance of any of Tenants covenants or obligations under this lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, including, without limitation, a default in the payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Charges, or a failure to timely provide a renewal L/C to Owner as provided below, Owner may present the L/C for payment and use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the proceeds thereof, to the extent required for the payment of any Fixed Rent, Additional Charges or any other sums owing or which may become due and owing under this lease. If Owner shall so apply, use or retain all or any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall upon demand by Owner, immediately deposit with Owner a sum of cash or an endorsement to the L/C in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Owner equal to the amount used, applied or retained, as security as aforesaid, failing which Owner shall have the same rights and remedies as under this lease for non-payment of Fixed Rent. In the event that Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with the terms, covenants and conditions of this lease, the L/C, or so much of the proceeds thereof as shall remain after any application pursuant to the terms of this lease, shall be returned to Tenant promptly after the expiration or sooner termination of the term hereof and delivery of possession of the entire Demised Premises to Owner in the manner required by the terms of this lease, together with any documentation reasonably required by the issuer of the L/C to permit its cancellation. The L/C shall provide that it is automatically transferable without the issuers consent by utilizing the issuers customary transfer form, at no charge and without liability to Owner and without changing the form or substance of the L/C (or, if there is such a charge to transfer the L/C, Tenant shall pay such charge within five (5) Business Days after demand by Owner, failing which Owner may present the L/C for payment). Tenant agrees to cause the issuer to renew said L/C, in the same
-24-
form (or such other form as may be satisfactory to Owner in its sole discretion) from time to time during the term of this lease, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of said L/C or any renewal thereof so that an L/C issued by the issuer to Owner shall be in force and effect through the term of this lease. In the event of any sale, transfer or leasing of Owners interest in the Building, Owner shall have the right to transfer either the L/C or any sums collected thereunder, together with any other unapplied sums held by Owner as security and the interest thereon, if any, to which Tenant is entitled, to the vendee, transferee or lessee, and after such transfer and upon giving notice to Tenant of such fact and the name and address of the transferee, Owner shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all liability for the return or payment thereof, and Tenant shall look solely to the new owner for the return of payment of same. Owner hereby approves Silicon Valley Bank as an issuer of the L/C.
(c) The Security Deposit constitutes security for any and all present and future obligations and liabilities of Tenant under this lease. Tenant hereby expressly agrees that Owner is not required to apply the Security Deposit against the obligations of Tenant in any particular order. Owner, in its sole discretion, may apply the Security Deposit against any obligation under this lease in any order it may elect including, without limitation, any Fixed Rent and Additional Charges that accrue after Tenant vacates the Premises and/or any re-letting charges incurred by Owner as a result of Tenant vacating the Premises prior to the expiration of this tease.
50. OWNERS INITIAL WORK.
(a) Owner or its designated contractor(s), in accordance with the provisions of this Article 50, shall perform the work (Owners Initial Work) set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof. Tenant may not make changes to Owners Initial Work during Owners performance thereof. Owners Initial Work shall be performed by Owner only once, it being understood that Owners obligation to perform Owners Initial Work is a single, non-recurring obligation.
(b) (i) For purposes of this lease, the term Substantial Completion Date shall mean the date on which Owners Initial Work is substantially completed or would have been substantially completed but for any Tenants Delay (as hereinafter defined), it being understood that substantial completion shall occur notwithstanding the fact that minor details, balancing or adjustments may not then have been completed, provided that such uncompleted work shall not materially interfere with Tenants use of the Demised Premises. The taking of possession of the Demised Premises by Tenant shall be deemed a delivery of the Demised Premises by Owner, substantial completion of Owners Initial Work and an acceptance by Tenant of the Demised Premises, subject to the correction of latent defects and the completion of any minor punchlist work with respect to Owners Initial Work. Owner shall proceed diligently to (i) complete any such punch-list work and (ii) correct any latent defects following notice thereof to Owner.
(ii) Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Commencement Date hereunder is indeterminate and shall occur only as provided in Article 37 hereof and Tenant, therefore, waives any right to rescind this lease under any applicable law, including, without limitation, Section 223(a) of the Real Property law of the State of New York. Tenant further waives any damages which may result from any delay in the substantial completion of Owners Initial Work (or any portion thereof) or the delivery of possession of the Demised Premises on or by any particular date or dates.
(c) The term Tenants Delay shall mean any delay that Owner may encounter in commencing or performing Owners Initial Work (or any portion thereof) or Owners other obligations pursuant to this Article 50 by reason of any act, neglect, failure or omission by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, contractors or subcontractors, or in the performance of Tenants obligations under this Article 50 including, without limitation, Tenants failure to promptly provide information necessary for Owner to substantially complete Owners Initial Work.
-25-
(d) Except for Owners Initial Work, Owner shall have no obligation to pay any money or perform any other work in, or make any alteration, or improvements to, the Demised Premises or the Building to ready the Demised Premises or the Building for Tenants initial occupancy.

(c) As used in this Amendment, the term Owners First Amendment Work Substantial Completion Date means the date on which Owners First Amendment Work is substantially completed or would have been substantially completed but for any delay that Owner may encounter in commencing or performing Owners First Amendment Work (or any portion thereof) by reason of any act (including, but not limited to, Tenants failure to vacate the Existing Premises on or prior to the Existing Premises Required Vacate Date), neglect, failure or omission by Tenant, its agents, servants, employees, contractors or subcontractors, or Tenants failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or in timely providing information reasonably necessary to enable Owner to complete Owners First Amendment Work each, a First Amendment Work Tenants Delay), it being understood that substantial completion shall occur notwithstanding the fact that minor details, balancing or adjustments may not then have been completed; provided, that, such uncompleted work shall not materially interfere with Tenants performance of the Tenants First Amendment Work (as hereinafter defined).

Each day beyond the Existing Premises Required Vacate Date that Tenant shall fail to vacate the Existing Premises and/or the Additional Temporary Space shall constitute a day of First Amendment Work Tenants Delay. Tenant shall confirm in writing its vacating of the Existing Premises and Additional Temporary Space and no such vacating of the Existing Premises and Additional Temporary Space shall be deemed to have occurred unless and until such confirmation has been delivered to Owner. Any Tenants Property remaining in the Existing Premises or Additional Temporary Space after Tenant shall have vacated such spaces shall be deemed abandoned and Owner may dispose of the same in any manner it may elect, without liability or accountability to Tenant or any third-party.

(e) Subject to Tenants compliance with the Building-Standard Rules and the ordinary operation, maintenance and repair procedures of the Building, Owner agrees that Owner shall, at no unreasonable additional cost to Owner, use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Tenants performance of Tenants First Amendment Work in the Demised Premises, but nothing shall require Owner to perform work on an overtime or premium basis. Tenant agrees that in the performance of Tenants First Amendment Work (i) neither Tenant nor its agents or employees shall interfere with work being done by Owner and its agents and employees in the Demised Premises or in or about the Building (subject to Owners scheduling obligations pursuant to clause (ii) below) or the proper and normal operation of the Building, (ii) Tenant shall comply with any reasonable work schedule proposed by Owner, its agents or employees and, subject to the provisions of this Section 10(e), Owner shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in scheduling Tenants First Amendment Work and in the performance of any work being performed by Owner and or its contractors that would materially interfere with the performance of Tenants First Amendment Work, but the foregoing shall not require Owner to perform any work on an overtime or premium rate basis, (iii) the labor employed by Tenant shall be harmonious and compatible with the labor employed by Owner in the Building, it being agreed that if in Owners commercially reasonable judgment any labor employed by Tenant is causing labor disharmony at the Building, Tenant shall forthwith upon Owners demand withdraw such labor from the Demised Premises, (iv) supplementing the obligations of Tenant to provide insurance pursuant to the provisions of Article 41 of the Existing Lease, Tenant shall cause Tenants contractors to procure workers compensation, commercial general liability, property damage and such other insurance policies in connection with Tenants First Amendment Work as specified on Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof, shall upon Owners request cause Owner and each Superior Mortgagee and Superior Lessee, if any, to be named as an additional insured thereunder (except with respect to workers compensation coverage) and shall deliver to Owner certificates evidencing such insurance, (v) Tenant shall hold Owner harmless from and against any and all claims arising from or in connection with any act or omission of Tenant or its agents or employees, (vi) Tenants First Amendment Work shall be performed substantially in accordance with the approved Tenants Plan (or other plans approved by Owner in writing) and in compliance with the laws, orders, rules and regulations of any governmental department or bureau having jurisdiction of the Demised Premises and (vii) Tenant shall timely pay for Tenants First Amendment Work in full and shall not permit any lien to attach to the Demised Premises or the Building.

(g) Without limiting the provisions of Article 3 of the Existing Lease, on or prior to the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the term of the Lease:
(i) Tenant shall, at Tenants expense, (1) remove all of Tenants property and, unless otherwise directed by Owner, remove any alterations installed as part of Tenants First Amendment Work or otherwise during the Lease term that are identified by Owner at the time Owner approves Tenants Plan of a type that would result in Owner having to pay a cost for the demolition of such improvements that exceeds the cost for the demolition of typical administrative office improvements (Specialty Alterations) and (2) restore the Common Corridor (as defined in Exhibit B) to its condition existing on the date of this Amendment, including, without limitation, installation and commissioning of all HVAC, electrical, life-safety and other Building systems serving the Common Corridor. Specialty Alterations include, by way of example only, a safe or vault, kevlar walls, escalators, elevators, built-in cabinets and displays, rolling-file systems, raised flooring systems and the associated installations thereto, showers, gym and/or fitness areas.
(ii) Tenant shall, at Tenants expense, repair and restore, in a good and workmanlike manner, all damage to the Demised Premises or the Building caused by Tenants removal of Specialty Alterations and/or Tenants property, or by the closing of any slab penetrations and the removal of the Common Corridor. If Tenant fails to properly perform its removal and restoration obligations under this Section 10, Owner may do so and in such event Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand (which demand shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed backup), reimburse Owner for Owners reasonable, out-of-pocket cost of restoring the Premises and repairing such damage. All Specialty Alterations and/or Tenants property not removed on or prior to the Expiration Date or sooner termination of the term of the Lease shall be deemed abandoned and Owner may either retain the same as Owners property or remove and dispose of the same, and repair and restore any damage caused thereby, at Tenants cost and without accountability to Tenant. The restoration and repair work as may be required to be done with respect to the Common Corridor pursuant to this Section 10(g) is herein referred to as the Common Corridor Restoration Work.

(h) Tenant shall pay Owner, as Additional Charges, the actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket charges incurred by Owner to third-parties in reviewing any Tenants Plan submitted to Owner (or changes thereto) including, without limitation, the Initial Tenant Work Plan. Tenant shall pay the amounts hereunder within thirty (30) days after written demand from Owner, which demand shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation.
(i) Owners Delay means delay that Tenant may encounter in commencing or performing Tenants First Amendment Work (or any portion thereof) by reason of the willful misconduct by Owner, its agents, employees or contractors and/or any intentional refusal by Owner to perform its obligations under the Lease, including, for example, Owners refusal to make the freight elevator available to Tenant pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Lease, but expressly excluding any Owners delay in providing a response to Tenants submission to Owner for Owners approval of Tenants Plan for Tenants First Amendment Work (the remedy for which is expressly provided in Section 10(b)(ii) above).
11. Owners Contribution.
(a) Provided that Tenant is not in default in the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Charges and Tenant is not in default under any of the other terms of the Lease beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods (or, if Tenant shall so be in default (monetary or otherwise), following the cure of all such defaults), Owner shall contribute an amount up to, but not to exceed, the sum of Six Hundred Eighty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($682,500.00) (Owners Contribution) towards the Tenants First Amendment Work Cost (as hereinafter defined).

- 15 -
(2) Owners Contribution shall be payable to Tenant (or, at Tenants request, but at no cost to Owner, to Tenants contractors and vendors) in installments as Tenants First Amendment Work progresses, but in no event more frequently than monthly.
(ii) Tenant shall not then be in default under the Lease with respect to the payment of Fixed Rent and Additional Charges, and Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure period with respect to all other material obligations of Tenant hereunder, provided, however, if Tenant shall then be in default (whether monetary or otherwise), the portion of Owners Contribution then required to be paid by Owner shall be disbursed following the cure of all such defaults.
(iii) Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in subclauses (i) and (ii) above and for so long as such satisfaction shall be continuing, Tenant shall submit requisitions to Owner for Owners Contribution from time to time during the performance of Tenants First Amendment Work, but not more frequently than monthly. With respect to each requisition, Tenant shall supply to Owner (1) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Owner establishing that all sums due and owing to contractors, subcontractors and materialmen with respect to all work performed which is not the subject of the current requisition have been paid, including final or partial lien waivers (as applicable) with respect to the sums paid to such contractors, subcontractors and materialmen, (2) a certificate from Tenants architect (which shall be a licensed independent architect or engineer employed by Tenant to supervise the construction and performance to Tenants First Amendment Work) certifying (w) the cost of the Tenants First Amendment Work incorporated into the Demised Premises, or, as applicable, incorporated therein since the last request, (x) the amount requested from Owner and that such amount is then due and payable from Tenant or has theretofore been paid by Tenant, (y) that the intended use thereof is for Tenants First Amendment Work and (z) that the Tenants First Amendment Work in question was performed in compliance with the provisions of the Lease and substantially in accordance with Tenants Plan theretofore approved by Owner. Owner shall be permitted to retain from the portion of each disbursement required to be paid from Owners Contribution and amount equal to 10% of such portion of the amount requested to be disbursed by Tenant (each such retained amount, a Retainage). The aggregate amount of Retainage shall be paid by Owner to Tenant upon the completion of the Tenants First Amendment Work and upon receipt from Tenant of (1) a certificate signed by Tenants architect and an officer of Tenant certifying that all Initial Tenant Work has been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications therefor approved by Owner, (2) all final approvals and sign-offs and inspection certificates and any permits required to be issued by the New York City Building Department or any other governmental entities having jurisdiction thereover in order for Tenant to take occupancy of the Premises, (3) evidence satisfactory to Owner establishing that all sums due and owing to all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen having performed Tenants First Amendment Work have been paid, (4) final lien waivers and a general release from each contractor, subcontractor and materialman having performed Tenants First Amendment Work releasing Owner and Tenant from all liability for any portion of the Tenants First Amendment Work and (5) the Close-out Binder from Tenants general contractor.

(d) The right to receive Owners Contribution as set forth in this Section 11 shall be for the exclusive benefit of RegenXbio Inc. and any assignee of RegenXbio Inc. pursuant to an assignment of the Lease for which no consent of Owner is required because it was properly effectuated pursuant to the provisions of Section 40(b) of the Existing Lease, it being the express intent of the parties hereto that in no event shall such right be conferred upon or for the benefit of any other third party, including, without limitation, any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, laborer, architect, engineer, attorney or any other person, firm or entity.
12. Free Freight.
