"Landlord's Taxes" means all taxes, assessments and similar charges assessed or imposed on the Land for the then current fiscal year by any governmental authority attributable to the Building and the parking garage (including personal property associated therewith).

This paragraph shall not be construed to obligate Tenant for increases in Controllable Operating Expenses above the maximum established in Section 2.6.3.

Landlord shall provide Tenant any such identification cards. Tenant shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the security of said cards and shall, if the loss or theft of any such card shall be brought to its attention, promptly notify Landlord thereof. Card replacements or any additional cards requested by Tenant shall be furnished to Tenant at the Tenant's cost. Landlord reserves the right, in its sole discretion acting in good faith, to deny access to all or any portion of the Building to any person who fails to produce proper identification or otherwise presents a safety hazard to the Building or any tenant or occupant thereof and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant or any other party as a result thereof so long as Landlord acted in good faith. Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, subject to Landlord's prior approval not to be unreasonably withheld, install in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, Section 5.10) a security system on the exterior doors of the Building and the Premises, provided such system shall not in any way interfere with any of the Building's systems including, without limitation, the Building's fire alarm system.

Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, and except for repairs to items referred to below necessitated by Tenant's act or neglect (which shall be Tenant's repair obligation under Section 5.1),Landlord shall make such repairs to the roofs, exterior walls, exterior windows (except if such damage or repair is necessitated by the Tenant's negligence or willful misconduct), floor slabs, core walls, and common areas and facilities in the Building as may be necessary to keep them in good condition comparable to office buildings of similar type in the area. All repairs to the roof, foundation and structure of the Building shall be performed at Landlord's sole expense (and shall not be considered Landlord's Operating Expenses). Landlord shall also maintain the parking areas, grounds, landscaping, drives, sidewalks and other exterior elements of the Land, Building and Complex in good condition, comparable to other office complexes of similar type in the area.

4.2 INTERRUPTION

 

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of Rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business arising from the necessity of Landlord or its agents entering the Premises for any of the purposes authorized in this Lease or for repairing the Premises or from repairs by Landlord of any portion of the Building however the necessity may occur. In case Landlord is prevented or delayed from diligent construction of improvements, making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any services or performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on Landlord's part, by reason of strike or other labor trouble, fire or other casualty, governmental preemption of priorities or other controls in connection with a national or other public emergency, or inability to obtain fuel, supplies, or labor despite reasonable efforts, or unusually adverse weather conditions, or unforeseen subsurface conditions, or acts of God, war, or terrorism, or delays in the making of repairs which are due to government regulation or delays in obtaining insurance, or any other cause whether similar or dissimilar beyond Landlord's reasonable control collectively and individually ("Force Majeure" which term shall have the same meaning in relation to the performance of Tenant Work by Tenant, except that "Tenant" shall be substituted for "Landlord"), Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor, except as otherwise provided in Section 6.1, shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of Rent by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in Tenant's favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises. In no event shall Landlord be liable for indirect or consequential damages arising out of any default by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to prevent or minimize the effect of any interruption of Tenant's business caused by any of the foregoing.

 

Landlord reserves the right to stop any service or utility system, when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been completed; provided, however, that in each instance of stoppage, Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause thereof. Except in case of emergency repairs, Landlord will give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any contemplated stoppage and will use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary interruption of Tenant's use of the Premises by reason thereof.

 

The foregoing notwithstanding, if Landlord fails for any reason within Landlord's control to provide any service to be supplied by (or perform any obligation to be performed by) Landlord under the Lease which is necessary for Tenant's reasonable use of the Premises (such as HVAC, elevator service, electricity, water, or structural repairs, including repairs of leaks from outside the Premises)("Landlord Failure"), and Tenant is unable to use the Premises on account of such failure, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportional abatement of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent based on the portion of the Premises which cannot be used by Tenant. This abatement shall begin on the fifth (5th) consecutive Business Day from Tenant's written notice to Landlord

of Landlord Failure. The abatement shall end when the services are restored sufficiently to permit use of the Premises. Furthermore, if due to Landlord Failure Tenant is unable to use more than    of the Premises and such Landlord Failure continues thirty (30) days from Tenant's written notice to Landlord of Landlord Failure, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant elects to terminate the 601 Lease in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2 of the 601 Lease, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by providing written notice to Landlord at the same time as the notice of Tenant's election to terminate the 601 Lease.

Tenant may not without Landlord's consent install in the Premises any pay telephones, vending machines, water fountains, refrigerators, sinks or cooking equipment provided that Landlord's consent will not be unreasonably withheld with respect to items designed for the convenience of Tenant's employees which are customary for office employees if Landlord determines that special venting or other material renovations are not required in connection therewith.

 

Tenant shall not without Landlord's prior written consent keep, cause or permit the escape, disposal or release of any substances or materials designated as, or containing

components now or hereafter designated as, hazardous, dangerous, toxic or harmful and/or subject to regulation under any federal, state or local law, regulation or ordinance ("Hazardous  Substances") on or about the Premises or Building or Complex except for ordinary cleaning and office supplies used and stored in accordance with applicable law. With respect to any Hazardous Substance stored with Landlord's consent, Tenant shall: (i) promptly, timely and completely comply with all federal, state or local governmental requirements for reporting and record keeping, (ii) within five (5) Business Days of Landlord's request, provide evidence satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant's compliance with all applicable federal, state or local laws, regulations or ordinances and comply with all federal, state and local laws, regulations or ordinances regarding the proper and lawful use, sale, transportation, generation, treatment and disposal of Hazardous Substances.

In addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like from time to time at Landlord's request concerning Tenant's best knowledge and belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Substances on the Premises.

 

If any lender or governmental agency shall ever require testing to ascertain whether or not there has been any release of Hazardous Substances, then the reasonable costs thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent if such requirement is imposed because of Tenant's particular use or activities in the Premises. Any and all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord and associated with Landlord's inspections of the Premises and Landlord's monitoring of Tenant's compliance with this Section 5.2, including Landlord's attorneys' fees and costs, shall be Additional Rent and shall be due and payable to Landlord within ten (10) days of Landlord's demand. Tenant shall be fully and completely liable to Landlord (either with or without negligence) for any and all cleanup costs and expenses and any and all other charges, expenses, fees, fines, penalties (both civil and criminal) and costs imposed with respect to Tenant's use, disposal, transportation, generation and/or sale of, or Tenant's causing or permitting the escape, disposal or release, of any biologically or chemically active or other Hazardous Substance.

The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. In the event of a release of Hazardous Substances or a requirement for testing to ascertain whether or not there has been a release of Hazardous Substances that is caused by Landlord, and for which Tenant is not responsible as provided above, then Landlord shall hold Tenant harmless from any cost, loss or liability relating thereto, including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs of defense, and the costs so incurred by Landlord shall not be considered Landlord's Operating Expenses.

 

5.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LAW

 

Tenant shall use the Premises only as permitted under federal, state, and local laws, regulations and orders applicable from time to time, including without limitation municipal by‑

laws, land use and zoning laws, environmental laws and regulations (as set forth in Section 5.2 above) and occupational health and safety laws, and shall procure all approvals, licenses and permits necessary therefor, in each case giving Landlord true and complete copies of the same and all applications therefor. Tenant shall promptly comply with all present and future laws applicable to Tenant's particular use of the Premises (as opposed to office uses generally) or Tenant's signs thereon, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not the same necessitate structural or other changes or improvements to the Premises or interfere with its particular use and enjoyment of the Premises, and shall comply with all requirements reasonable in light of the use Tenant is making of the Premises of insurance inspection or rating bureaus having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the responsibility for compliance with any present law or laws pertaining to office uses and/or the Building generally that require structural or other changes or improvements to the Premises or the Building shall be borne solely by Landlord, and shall not be considered Landlord's Operating Expenses.

Tenant shall, in any event, indemnify, save Landlord harmless, and defend from all loss, claim, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees of counsel of Landlord's choice against whom Tenant makes no reasonable objection) on account of Tenant's failure so to comply with the obligations of this Section 5.3 (paying the same to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent). Tenant shall bear the sole risk of all present or future laws affecting its particular use of the Premises or appurtenances thereto (as opposed to office uses generally), and Landlord shall not be liable for (nor suffer any reduction in any rent on account of) any interruption, impairment or prohibition affecting the Premises or Tenant's use thereof resulting from the enforcement of such laws.

 

To Landlord's actual knowledge, as of the Term Commencement Date the Land and the portions of the Building other than Tenant's Initial Construction, if used for general office purposes, will comply in all material respects with applicable zoning, fire codes, and other federal, state, and local rules, regulations, law statutes, and ordinances, including, but not limited to, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and in the event Landlord is notified of any violation, Landlord will take all measures necessary to comply or cause the compliance. The foregoing shall exclude Tenant's Initial Construction, which shall be Tenant's responsibility to design and construct.

 

5.4 RULES AND REGULATIONS

 

Tenant shall conform to all reasonable non-discriminatory rules and regulations now or hereafter promulgated from time to time by Landlord for the care and use of the Premises and the Building, including but not limited to the initial Rules and Regulations set forth at www.hobbsbrook.com.

Tenant shall save Landlord, its mortgagees and its direct and indirect owners, and the managers, directors, officers, members, trustees, agents, employees, property management companies, attorneys, independent contractors, invitees, and any other parties designated by Landlord from time to time (collectively, the "Indemnitees") harmless and indemnified (and shall defend the Indemnitees with counsel reasonably approved by the Indemnitees) against any claim, loss or cost, whether in law or equity, and/or arising in whole or in part out of any injury, loss, theft or damage to any person or property while on, in or about the Premises, or out of any condition within the Premises, except to the extent due to the negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitees, and to any person or property anywhere occasioned by any negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or of employees, agents, managers, officers, directors, members, trustees or independent contractors of Tenant or any person acting under Tenant. In addition to the foregoing, if any person not a party to this Lease shall institute any other types of action against Tenant in which any of the Indemnitees shall involuntarily and/or without cause, shall be made a party defendant(s), then Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend such Indemnitees (with counsel reasonably approved by Indemnitees) from all liabilities by reason thereof. This indemnity shall not require payment as a condition precedent to recovery. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees associated with enforcement of the provisions of this Section 5.6.1. Landlord may make all repairs and replacements to the improvements on the Land resulting from acts or omissions of Tenant's employees, agents, managers, officers, directors, members, trustees, or independent contractors or any other persons acting under Tenant (including damage and breakage occurring as a result of work performed by or for Tenant and when Tenant's property is being moved into or out of the Building) and subject to Section 8.11 Landlord may recover all costs and expenses thereof from Tenant as Additional Rent. The provisions of this Section 5.6.1  shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

The parties acknowledge that damage or destruction may result from acts of cleaning personnel and employees of other independent contractors of Landlord working in and around the Premises and that Tenant shall bear the risk and cost thereof unless Landlord or any of the Indemnitees has been grossly negligent.

 

5.8 ENTRY FOR REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS

 

Tenant shall permit Landlord and its agents to enter and examine the Premises at reasonable times and, if Landlord shall so elect, to make any repairs or replacements Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, to remove at Tenant's expense any alterations, additions, signs, curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, aerials, flagpoles, or the like not consented to in writing, and following advance notice to Tenant, to show the Premises to prospective tenants during the nine (9) months preceding expiration of the Term or second Extension Term if in effect and to prospective purchasers and mortgagees at all times. In case of an emergency in the Premises or in the Building, Landlord or its representative may enter the Premises (forcibly, if necessary) at any time to take such measures as may be needed to deal with such emergency.

 

5.9 ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING

 

Tenant, voluntarily or involuntarily, shall not assign this Lease, or sublet, license, or convey the Premises or any portion thereof, or permit the occupancy of all or any portion of the Premises other than by the Tenant (all or any of the foregoing actions are referred to as "Transfers", and all or any of assignees, transferees, licensees, and other such parties are referred to as "Transferees") without obtaining, on each occasion, the prior written consent of the Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed. Tenant also shall not voluntarily or involuntarily mortgage or encumber the Premises or Tenant's leasehold interest therein (an "Encumbrance") without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the Encumbrance

is being made in connection with a bona fide institution as financing for Tenant's business. Any Transfer or Encumbrance without such consent shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.9, this Lease may be assigned, or the Premises may be sublet, in whole or in part, after prior notice to Landlord but without consent of the Landlord and without any termination right of the Landlord being applicable thereto, (a) to any corporation or other entity into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated or to any corporation or entity to which all or substantially all of the Tenant's assets will be transferred, or (b) to any corporation which is an affiliate, subsidiary, parent or successor of Tenant, provided in all such cases the surviving corporation or entity shall provide reasonable evidence that it, along with any guarantor or other party remaining liable under this Lease, has a creditworthiness at least equal to the net worth of Tenant and the guarantor or any other liable party as of the date of such corporate transaction, and (ii) as of the date of this Lease and shall agree in writing with the Landlord to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Lease (all of the foregoing being referred to as a "Permitted Transfer"). Unless Landlord's consent specifically provides otherwise with respect to a particular proposed Transferee, Tenant shall not offer to make or enter into negotiations with respect to a Transfer to any of the following: (x) a tenant in the Building or any other building in the Complex which is owned or controlled by Landlord (unless, after the request of Tenant, Landlord has informed Tenant that reasonably comparable space in the Building or the Complex is not available and will not become available within the three (3) months after such request); (y) any party with whom Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord is then negotiating with respect to space in the Building or any other building in the Complex which is owned or controlled by Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord (unless, after the request of Tenant, Landlord has informed Tenant that reasonably comparable space in the Building or the Complex is not available and will not become available within the three (3) months after such request); or (z) any party which would be of such type, character or condition as to be inappropriate, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, as a tenant for a first class office building. Tenant shall notify Landlord prior to marketing the Premises or any part thereof for a Transfer. Tenant's request for consent to a Transfer shall include a copy of the proposed Transfer instrument together with a statement of the proposed Transfer in detail satisfactory to Landlord, together with reasonably detailed financial, business and other information about the proposed Transferee. Except in the case of a Permitted Transfer pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above, Landlord shall have the option (but not the obligation) to terminate the Lease as to the affected portions of the Premises at no cost to Tenant, with respect to a Transfer of at least     of the Rentable Area of the Premises which Tenant proposes effective upon the date of the proposed Transfer and continuing for the proposed term thereof by giving Tenant notice of such termination within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's request. Tenant, however, shall have the right to withdraw such request if Landlord gives Tenant notice of its right to recapture the Premises. Upon the effective date of Landlord's recapture, Tenant shall be released from all subsequently accruing obligations under this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises recaptured by Landlord. If Tenant does make a Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer under clause (a) or (b) above) hereunder, and if the aggregate rent and other charges payable to Tenant under and in connection with such Transfer (including without limitation any amounts paid for leasehold improvements or on account of Tenant's costs associated with such Transfer) exceed the sum of the Rent and other charges payable hereunder with respect to the space in question and all third party costs of the Transfer (such as brokerage, legal, and leasehold improvement costs), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent,   of the

amount of such excess. Such excess shall be paid on a monthly basis, and all non-recurring costs and payments incurred or collected by Tenant shall be amortized on a straight line basis over the term of the Transfer in calculating the amount of each monthly payment. If the amount of rent and other charges payable under a Transfer is not readily ascertainable, such amount may, at Landlord's option, be deemed to equal the fair market rent then obtainable for the space in question.

 

Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, Landlord's reasonable legal fees (not to exceed   without the approval of Tenant, provided such figure shall be reasonably adjusted for inflation and for unusually complex transactions) and other third-party expenses incurred in connection with any proposed Transfer or Encumbrance, including fees for review of documents and investigations of proposed Transferees. Notwithstanding any such Transfer, the original Tenant named herein shall remain directly and primarily obligated under this Lease.

 

If Tenant enters into any Transfer including a Permitted Transfer with respect to the Premises (or any part thereof), such Transferee shall be liable, jointly and severally, with Tenant, to the extent of the obligation undertaken by or attributable to such Transferee, for the performance of Tenant's agreements under this Lease (including payment of Rent under the Transfer), and every Transfer shall so provide, without relieving or modifying Tenant's liability hereunder. The foregoing provision shall be self-operative, but in confirmation thereof, such Transferee shall execute and deliver such instruments as may be reasonably required by Landlord to acknowledge such liability and if such Transferee shall fail to do so within ten (10) days after demand, Tenant shall be in default hereunder. Landlord may collect Rent from the Transferee and apply the net amount collected to the Rent and other charges hereunder, but no such assignment or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Section 5.9, or the acceptance of the Transferee as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from direct and primary liability for the further performance of Tenant's covenants hereunder. The consent by Landlord to a particular Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from the requirement of obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further Transfer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall have the right, without prior approval of Landlord, to utilize such portions of the Premises as it shall determine in its sole, reasonable judgment to customers ("Collocation") at no additional rent to Tenant for the purpose of installing, operating and maintaining computer servers and related equipment. The Collocation will not be considered a sublease for purposes hereunder. Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5.4, designated employees or such customers may have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week.

 

5.10 ALTERATIONS

 

Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord and only in accordance with Landlord's then current policies and procedures. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notice to Landlord but without any requirement for Landlord's consent, Tenant may perform cosmetic alterations in the Premises which do not affect the Building's structure or base building systems and cost no more than    in the aggregate for a single project, provided such alterations are made in accordance with Landlord's Construction Manual. Tenant shall obtain all state, local and other necessary permits before undertaking any such alterations, additions or

improvements. Tenant shall carry such insurance as Landlord shall reasonably require. Any alterations, additions and improvements to the Premises, except movable furniture and trade fixtures, shall belong to Landlord. All alterations, additions and improvements to the Premises shall be at Tenant's sole cost. If any mechanic's lien (which term shall include all similar liens relating to the furnishing of labor and materials and professional services by design professionals) is filed against the Building which is claimed to be attributable to Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors, or persons working under Tenant's direction or control, then Tenant shall give Landlord immediate notice of such lien and shall discharge the same by payment or filing any necessary bond within ten (10) days after Tenant has notice (from any source) of such lien. Landlord's approval of the construction documents shall signify Landlord's consent to the work shown thereon only and Tenant shall be solely responsible for any errors or omissions contained therein. Landlord's approvals under this Section 5.10 shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

5.11 SURRENDER

 

At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, without the requirement of any notice, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Premises including all alterations and additions thereto and all replacements thereof, including carpeting, any water or electricity meters, and all fixtures and partitions, in any way bolted or otherwise attached to the Premises (which shall become the property of Landlord) except such alterations and additions as Landlord shall direct Tenant to remove including cabling (provided, , however, that Tenant shall not be directed to remove Tenant's Initial Construction or any subsequent Tenant Work installed with Landlord's approval unless, at the time of Landlord's approval of such Tenant Work, Landlord specifically notified Tenant that Tenant would be directed to remove that Tenant Work from the Premises at the expiration of the Term), and Tenant shall leave the Premises and improvements in the condition in which the same are required to be maintained under Section 5.1. Tenant shall, at the time of termination, remove the goods, effects and fixtures which Tenant is directed or permitted to remove in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.11, making any repairs to the Premises and other areas necessitated by such removal and leaving the Premises clean and tenantable. Should Tenant fail to remove any of such goods, effects, and fixtures, Landlord may, after notice, have them removed forcibly, if necessary, and store any of Tenant's property in a public warehouse at the risk of Tenant. If such items are not removed from storage within thirty (30) days, such items may be sold by any customary methods in order to pay storage costs and other expenses of Landlord. The expense of such removal, storage and reasonable repairs necessitated by such removal shall be borne solely by Tenant or at Landlord's election reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord.

 

5.12 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES

 

Tenant shall pay promptly when due all taxes (and charges in lieu thereof) imposed upon Tenant's personal property in the Premises, (including, without limitation, fixtures and equipment), no matter to whom assessed.

 

5.13 SIGNS

No sign, name, placard, advertisement or notice visible from the exterior of the Premises shall be inscribed, painted or affixed by Tenant on any part of the Building without the prior written approval of Landlord. All signs or letterings on doors, or otherwise, approved by Landlord, shall be inscribed, painted or affixed by a person reasonably approved by Landlord and at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. Landlord at Landlord's expense shall provide and install Building standard signage at the entry doors to the Premises and in the Building lobby to identify Tenant's official name and Building address, all such letters and numerals to be in the Building standard graphics.

 

6.1 DAMAGE BY FIRE OR CASUALTY

 

If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty required to be insured by Landlord under this Lease, then, subject to the last paragraph of this Section 6.1, Landlord shall proceed with diligence, subject to then applicable statutes, building codes, zoning ordinances and regulations of any governmental authority, and at the expense of Landlord to repair or cause to be repaired such damage. All such repairs made necessary by any act or omission of Tenant shall be made at the Tenant's expense to the extent that the cost of such repairs does not exceed the deductible amount in Landlord's insurance policy (such deductible not to exceed the deductible amount generally carried at the time by comparable buildings). All repairs to and replacements of property which Tenant is entitled to remove shall be made by and at the expense of Tenant. If the Premises or any part thereof shall have been rendered unfit for use and occupation hereunder by reason of such damage the Rent or a just and proportionate part thereof, according to the nature and extent to which the Premises shall have been so rendered unfit, shall be abated until the Premises (except as to the property which is to be repaired by or at the expense of Tenant) shall have been restored as nearly as practicable to the condition in which they were immediately prior to such fire or other casualty. Landlord shall not be liable for delays in the making of any such repairs which are due to Force Majeure, nor shall Landlord be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting from delays in repairing such damage.

 

Between thirty (30) and sixty (60) days after any casualty, Tenant may inquire of Landlord as to Landlord's estimate of the time period necessary to complete repair of the Premises. Within thirty (30) days after such inquiry, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord's architect's good faith estimate of the time to complete such repairs and if such estimate (which shall be non-binding) shall be more than one year from the date of the casualty, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice given to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's delivery of Landlord's architect's estimate.

 

date given in any Landlord's architect's repair period estimate under the prior paragraph (the later of such dates is referred to below as the "Outside Restoration Date"), Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Landlord within twenty (20) days of the Outside Restoration Date, the termination to be effective not less than thirty (30) days after the date on which such termination notice is received by Landlord. The Outside Restoration Date shall be extended for up to ninety (90) days on account of delays caused by Force Majeure. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting from delays in repairing the damage, however if the delays continue more than ninety (90) days beyond the initial Outside Restoration Date, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease in the manner provided above.

 

If (i) the Premises are so damaged by fire or other casualty (whether or not insured) at any time during the last thirty (30) months of the Term that the cost to repair such damage is reasonably estimated to exceed one-third of the total Annual Fixed Rent payable hereunder for the period from the estimated completion date of repair until the end of the Term, or (ii) at any time the Building (or any portion thereof, whether or not including any portion of the Premises) is so damaged by fire or other casualty (whether or not insured) that substantial alteration or reconstruction or demolition of the Building (or a portion thereof) shall in Landlord's judgment be required ("substantial" damage meaning damage to the extent that the cost of repair will exceed    of the value of the Building prior to the occurrence of the fire or other casualty), then and in any of such events, this Lease and the Term hereof may be terminated at the election of Landlord by a notice from Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days, or such longer period as is required to complete arrangements with any mortgagee regarding such situation, following such fire or other casualty; provided, however, that in the event Landlord elects to terminate the Lease pursuant to clause (i) above, such election shall be null and void if within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's notification, Tenant exercises the right (if available) to extend the Term for an Extension Term, in which case the time periods under this Section 6.1 for Landlord to commence and complete repairs shall be continued by thirty (30) days. The effective termination date pursuant to such notice shall be not less than thirty (30) days after the day on which such termination notice is delivered to Tenant. In the event of any termination, the Term shall expire as though such effective termination date were the date originally stipulated in Section 1.1 for the end of the Term and the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for Operating Expenses and Taxes shall be apportioned as of such date.

 

6.2 CONDEMNATION - EMINENT DOMAIN

 

In case during the Term all or any substantial part of the Premises or the Building are taken by eminent domain or Landlord receives compensable damage by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority, affecting all or a substantial part of the Premises or Building this Lease shall terminate at Landlord's election, which may be made (notwithstanding that Landlord's entire interest may have been divested) by notice given to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the election to terminate arises, specifying the effective date of termination. The effective date of termination specified by Landlord shall not be less than fifteen (15) nor more than thirty (30) days after the date of notice of such termination. Unless terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect following any such taking, subject, however, to the following provisions. If in any such case the Premises are rendered unfit for use and occupation and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord

shall use reasonable diligence (following the expiration of the period in which Landlord may terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2) to put the Premises, or what may remain thereof (excluding any items installed or paid for by Tenant which Tenant may be required to remove pursuant to Section 5.11), into proper condition for use and occupation and a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for Operating Expenses according to the nature and extent of the injury shall be abated until the Premises or such remainder shall have been put by Landlord in such condition; and in case of a taking which permanently reduces the area of the Premises, a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for Operating Expenses shall be abated for the remainder of the Term.

 

If the taking of a part of the Premises substantially and adversely interferes with Tenant's ability to continue its business operations then Tenant may terminate this Lease on written notice to Landlord given not more than thirty (30) days after such taking and effective on the earlier of: (i) the date when title vests; (ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority; or (iii) sixty (60) days following notice to Tenant of the date when vesting or dispossession is to occur

 

6.3 EMINENT DOMAIN AWARD

 

Except for Tenant's relocation expenses or other awards available to Tenant that do not reduce Landlord's award (specifically so designated by the court or authority having jurisdiction over the matter) Landlord reserves to itself any and all rights to receive awards made for damages to the Premises, the Building or the leasehold hereby created, or any one or more of them, accruing by reason of exercise of eminent domain or by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority. Tenant hereby releases and assigns to Landlord all Tenant's rights to such awards, and covenants to deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request, hereby irrevocably designating and appointing Landlord as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver in Tenant's name and behalf all such further assignments thereof.

 

6.4 CASUALTY OR TAKING IN 601 BUILDING

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, if Tenant elects to terminate the 601 Lease in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1 or 6.2 of the 601 Lease, then Tenant may also elect to terminate this Lease by providing written notice to Landlord at the same time as notice of Tenant's election to terminate the 601 Lease.

 

7.1 TERMINATION FOR DEFAULT OR INSOLVENCY

 

This Lease is upon the condition that:

 

(a)  if Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any of Tenant's covenants, and if such failure shall continue, (i) in the case of Rent or any sum due Landlord hereunder, for more than five (5) Business Days after notice, or (ii) in any other case, after notice, for more than

thirty (30) days (provided that if correction of any such matter reasonably requires longer than thirty (30) days and Tenant so notifies Landlord within twenty (20) days after Landlord's notice is given together with an estimate of time required for such cure, Tenant shall be allowed such longer period, but only if cure is begun and diligently pursued within such thirty (30) day period and such delay does not cause increased risk of damage to person or property), or

 

(b)  if two (2) or more notices under clause (a) hereof are given in any twelve month period (failure to pay Rent or any other sum for more than five (5) Business Days after the particular due date shall have the same effect under this clause (b) as such a notice), or

 

(c)  if the leasehold hereby created shall be taken on execution, or by other process of law, or if any assignment shall be made of Tenant's property or the property of any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder ("Guarantor") for the benefit of creditors, or

 

(d)  if a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of all or any part of Tenant's or the Guarantor's property and such appointment is not discharged within sixty (60) days thereafter or if a petition including, without limitation, a petition for reorganization or arrangement is filed by Tenant or the Guarantor under any bankruptcy law or is filed against Tenant or the Guarantor and, in the case of a filing against Tenant only, the same shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days from the date upon which it is filed, or

 

(e)  if there is a default by Tenant beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the 601 Lease,

 

then, and in any of said cases, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter, elect to terminate this Lease by notice of termination, by entry, or by any other means available under law and may recover possession of the Premises as provided herein.

 

Upon termination by notice, by entry, or by any other means available under law, Landlord shall be entitled immediately, in the case of termination by notice or entry, and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of law to recover possession of the Premises from Tenant and those claiming through or under the Tenant. Such termination of this Lease and repossession of the Premises shall be without prejudice to any remedies which Landlord might otherwise have for arrears of Rent or for a prior breach, violation or default of the provisions of this Lease.

Tenant waives any statutory notice to quit and equitable rights in the nature of further cure or redemption, and Tenant agrees that upon Landlord's termination of this Lease Landlord shall be entitled to re-entry and possession in accordance with the terms hereof. Landlord may, without notice, store Tenant's personal property (and those of any person claiming under Tenant) at the expense and risk of Tenant or, if Landlord so elects, Landlord may sell such personal property in accordance with Section 5.11 and apply the net proceeds to the earliest of installments of Rent or other charges owing Landlord. LANDLORD AND TENANT WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION TO WHICH THEY ARE PARTIES. Tenant further agrees that it shall not interpose any counterclaim (other than a mandatory counterclaim which would otherwise be waived) or set-off in any summary proceeding or in any action based in

whole or in part on non-payment of Rent. Nothing herein shall preclude Tenant from asserting a right to abatement under the express terms of this Lease as a defense to a claim of default by Landlord for non-payment of Rent.

 

7.2 REIMBURSEMENT OF LANDLORD'S EXPENSES

 

In the case of termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 7.1, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all expenses arising out of such termination, including without limitation, all costs incurred in collecting amounts due from Tenant under this Lease (including attorneys' fees, costs of litigation and the like); all expenses incurred by Landlord in attempting to relet the Premises or parts thereof (including advertisements, brokerage commissions, Tenant's allowances, costs of preparing space, maintaining or preserving the Premises after Tenant default, and the like); and all Landlord's other reasonable expenditures necessitated by the termination.  The reimbursement from Tenant shall be due and payable immediately from time to time upon notice from Landlord that an expense has been incurred, without regard to whether the expense was incurred before or after the termination. The provisions of this Section 7.2 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

7.3 DAMAGES

 

In the event of the termination of this Lease by Landlord, Landlord may elect by written notice to Tenant within one year following such termination to be indemnified for loss of Rent by a lump sum payment representing the then present value of the amount of Rent which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease for the remainder of the Term minus the then present value of the aggregate fair market rent and Additional Rent payable for the Premises for the remainder of the Term (if less than the Rent payable hereunder), estimated as of the date of the termination, and taking into account reasonable projections of vacancy and tune required to re-lease the Premises. (For the purposes of calculating the Rent which would have been paid hereunder for the lump sum payment calculation described herein, the last full year's Additional Rent under Section 2.6 is to be deemed constant for each year thereafter. The then-current yield on US Treasury Bonds with a ten (10) year maturity shall be used in calculating present values.) Should the parties be unable to agree on a fair market rent, the matter shall be submitted, upon the demand of either party, to the Boston, Massachusetts office of the American Arbitration Association, with a request for arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Association by a single arbitrator who shall be an MAI appraiser with at least ten years experience as an appraiser of major office buildings in the Greater Boston area. The parties agree that a decision of the arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding upon them. Should Landlord fail to make the election provided for in this Section 7.3, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for the loss of Rent by a payment at the end of each month which would have been included in the Term, representing the difference between the Rent which would have been paid in accordance with this Lease (Annual Fixed Rent under Section 2.5, and Additional Rent which would have been payable under Section 2.6 to be ascertained monthly) and the Rent actually derived from the Premises by Landlord for such month (the amount of Rent deemed derived shall be the actual amount less any portion thereof attributable to Landlord's reletting expenses described in Section 7.2 which have not been reimbursed by Tenant thereunder).

All rights and remedies of Landlord under this Section 7.3 and elsewhere in this Lease shall be distinct, separate and cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy of Landlord set forth in this Lease or allowed by law or in equity. Tenant's obligations under this Section 7.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

 

7.4 MITIGATION

 

In the event the Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 and Tenant vacates the Premises, Landlord shall, subject to the provisions of this Section 7.4, use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises and collect the sums due to Landlord as a result of such reletting; provided, however, that any obligation imposed by law upon Landlord to relet the Premises shall be subject to the reasonable requirements of Landlord and its affiliates to lease other available space in the Complex prior to reletting the Premises, to high quality tenants, and to lease the Building in a harmonious manner with an appropriate mix of uses, tenants, floor areas and terms of tenancies, and the like.

 

7.5 CLAIMS IN BANKRUPTCY

 

Nothing herein shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove and obtain in a proceeding for bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement or reorganization, by reason of the termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by a statute or law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount is greater to, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damage which Landlord has suffered.

 

7.6 INTEREST ON UNPAID AMOUNTS

 

If any payment of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent, or other payment due from Tenant to Landlord is not paid when due, then without notice and in addition to all other remedies hereunder, Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on such unpaid amount equal to    of the amount in question for each month and for each part thereof during which said delinquency continues; provided, however, in no event shall such interest exceed the maximum amount permitted to be charged by applicable law.

 

7.7 LATE FEE

 

If any payment of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent, or other payment due from Tenant to Landlord is not paid when due, then Landlord may, at its option, in addition to all other remedies hereunder, impose a late charge on Tenant equal to    of the amount in question, which late charge will be due within five (5) Business Days after notice as Additional Rent.

 

7.8 VACANCY DURING LAST TWO MONTHS

 

If Tenant vacates substantially all of the Premises (or substantially all of any major portion of the Premises, including a floor thereof) at any time within the last two (2) months of the Term, Landlord at its sole risk may enter the Premises (or such portion) and commence demolition work or construction of leasehold improvements for future tenants and the amount of

Rent due from and after such entry shall be reduced by one-half. The exercise of such right by Landlord will not affect Tenant's obligations to pay Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent with respect to the Premises (or such portion), which obligations shall continue without abatement until the end of the Term. If Landlord elects to enter the Premises for these purposes, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant against personal injury or property damage arising from its activities and shall provide insurance coverages for such injury or damage reasonably acceptable to Tenant, with Tenant named as an additional insured.

 

7.9 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY

 

LANDLORD AND TENANT AGREE THAT TO EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH SHALL AND HEREBY DOES WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT'S USE OR OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES AND/OR EMERGENCY OR STATUTORY REMEDY.

8.1 HOLDOVER

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord desires to regain possession of the Premises after the termination or expiration hereof, Landlord may, at its option, re-enter and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof at any time thereafter or by any legal process in force in the state in which the Premises are located. If the Tenant renegotiates a new term with the Landlord of this Lease whether in the Premises or at another location in the Building within 120 days after the expiration of this Lease, all rents in excess of the new rate, paid during the hold over period, will be applied as a credit to the new lease.

 

At either party's request, from time to time, the other party agrees to execute and deliver to the requesting party within ten (10) days after delivery of such request, a certificate which acknowledges the dates on which the Term begins and ends, tenancy and possession of the Premises and recites such other facts concerning any provision of the Lease or payments made under the Lease which the requesting party or a mortgagee or lender or a purchaser or prospective purchaser of the Building or any interest therein or any other party may from time to time reasonably request. Tenant acknowledges that the execution and delivery of such certificates in connection with a financing or sale in a prompt manner constitute requirements of Landlord's financing and/or property dispositions. Without limitation of the foregoing, Tenant agrees to execute whatever other instruments may be reasonably required by the first mortgagee or junior mortgagee to acknowledge such tenancy in recordable form, within ten (10) days after Landlord's request, correcting as appropriate any representations which are not then correct.

The receipt by Landlord of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed waiver of such breach. No provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Landlord, or by Tenant, unless such waiver be in writing signed by the party to be charged.

Tenant agrees to look only to Landlord's interest in the Land and Building (and to the proceeds of any available insurance) for satisfaction of any claim against Landlord hereunder or under any other instrument related to the Lease (including any separate agreements among the parties and any notices or certificates delivered by Landlord) and not to any other property or assets of Landlord. If Landlord from time to time transfers its interest in the Land and Building (or part thereof which includes the Premises), then from and after each such transfer Tenant shall look solely to the interests in the Land and Building of each of Landlord's transferees for the performance of all of the obligations of Landlord hereunder (or under any related instrument). The obligations of Landlord shall not be binding on any partners, mortgagees, members, managers, directors, officers, trustees, or beneficiaries of Landlord or of any successor, individually, but only upon Landlord's or such successor's interest described above.

 

Except for the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of the Indemnitees (as such term is defined in Section 5.6.1) and any liability of Landlord without fault under Sections 4.3.3 or 5.2 of this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for any injury or damage to any person or property whatsoever. In no event shall Landlord ever be liable for any indirect or consequential damages. Except for liability under Sections 5.2 and 8.1of this Lease, in no event shall Tenant be liable for any indirect or consequential damages. It is expressly agreed by Landlord and Tenant that business interruption costs and expenses are indirect and consequential damages under the terms of this Lease.

 

9.2 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS

 

If, at any time and from time to time, Landlord assigns this Lease or the Rents payable hereunder to the holder of any mortgage on the Building, or to any other party for the purpose of securing financing (the holder of any such mortgage and any other such financing party are referred to herein as the "Financing Party"), whether such assignment is conditional in nature or otherwise, the following provisions shall apply:

 

(a)  Such assignment to the Financing Party shall not be deemed an assumption by the Financing Party of any obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such Financing Party shall, by written notice to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect;

(b)  Except as provided in Section 9.2(a) above and Section 9.2(c) below, the Financing Party shall be treated as having assumed Landlord's obligations hereunder (subject to Section 9.1) only upon foreclosure of its mortgage (or voluntary conveyance by deed in lieu thereof) and the taking of possession of the Premises from and after foreclosure;

 

(c)  Subject to Section 9.1, the Financing Party shall be responsible for only such breaches under the Lease by Landlord which occur during the period of ownership by the Financing Party after such foreclosure (or voluntary conveyance by deed in lieu thereof) and taking of possession, as aforesaid; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to restrict the right of Tenant to pursue all applicable remedies, including, if necessary, the termination of this Lease, if a default of a continuing nature (for example, an unrepaired defect in the roof or HVAC system) is not cured after notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure the default; and

 

(d)  In the event Tenant alleges that Landlord is in default under any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease, Tenant agrees to give any Financing Party, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default which is served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice, Tenant has been notified, in writing, (whether by way of notice of an assignment of lease, request to execute an estoppel letter, or otherwise) of the address of such Financing Party. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided by law or such additional time as may be provided in such notice to Landlord, such Financing Party shall have sixty (60) days after the last date on which Landlord could have cured such default within which such Financing Party will be permitted to cure such default. If such default cannot be cured within such sixty (60) day period, then such Financing Party shall have such additional time as may be necessary to cure such default, if within such sixty (60) day period such Financing Party has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to effect such cure (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary, to effect such cure), in which event Tenant shall have no right with respect to such default while such remedies are being diligently pursued by such Financing Party.

 

In all events, any liability of a Financing Party shall be limited to the interest of such Financing Party in the Land and Building, and in no event shall a Financing Party ever be liable for any indirect or consequential damages.

 

Tenant hereby agrees to enter into such agreements or instruments as may be requested from time to time in confirmation of the foregoing.

 

This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any first mortgage and to any junior mortgage that has been approved by the first mortgagee that may now or hereafter be placed upon the Building and/or the Land and to any and all advances to be made under such mortgages and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, extensions and consolidations thereof, provided that the mortgagee agrees not to disturb Tenant's right of possession or its other rights under this Lease (so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice or cure period)

in accordance with a Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement in the mortgagee's standard form (provided that such form is commercially reasonable). Any mortgagee may elect to give this Lease priority to its mortgage, except that the Lease shall not have priority to (i) the prior right, claim and lien of such mortgagees in, to and upon any insurance proceeds and the disposition thereof under the mortgage; (ii) the prior right, claim and lien of such mortgagees in, to and upon any award or compensation heretofore or hereafter to be made for any taking by eminent domain of any part of the Premises, and to the right of disposition thereof under the mortgage; and (iii) any lien, right, power or interest, if any, which may have arisen or intervened in the period between the recording of the mortgages and the execution of this Lease, or any lien or judgment which may arise any time under the terms of this Lease. In the event of such election and upon notification by such mortgagee, this Lease shall be deemed prior in lien to the said mortgage. This Article X shall be self-operative, but in confirmation thereof, Tenant shall execute and deliver a Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement in the mortgagee's standard form (provided that such form is commercially reasonable) or whatever other instruments may be reasonably required by the first mortgagee or junior mortgagee to acknowledge such subordination or priority in a recordable form. Any mortgagee's standard processing fee and any Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees associated with the execution of the Subordination and Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be payable as Additional Rent.

 

Landlord represents that as of the date of this Lease, Landlord is the fee owner of the Building and Land and there is no mortgage encumbering the Building and/or Land.

 

To the extent permitted by applicable law and all public and private requirements applicable to the Land and/or Building, if Tenant leases and occupies 55,243 or more square feet of Rentable Floor Area in the Building, Tenant may construct at its sole cost and expense (including, without limitation, any and all permitting, design and construction costs) a covered walkway (the "Connector") between the Building and the 601 Building, subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, of the design, building materials and location of the Connector and subject to compliance with the terms and provisions of this Lease (including without limitation Section 5.10), with the building code, zoning code, and with all other applicable laws and public and private requirements applicable to the Landlord and/or the Building. Tenant shall not undertake any permitting efforts or commence construction without Landlord's prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to incur any costs, undertake any legal action, or seek, or consent to, any change in law or public or private requirements applicable to the Land and/or the Building in connection with Tenant's design and construction of the Connector. The Connector shall be the property of Landlord, and shall constitute a part of the common areas and facilities under this Lease, and may be available for use by other tenants of the 601 Building and the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all of the costs to clean, maintain and repair the Connector as and when invoiced by Landlord.

12.1 GPS ANTENNA

 

12.1.1 Effective as of the Term Commencement Date, Landlord agrees to grant to Tenant a license to use a portion of the roof of the Building and enjoy 24-hour access thereto (the "Rooftop License") at a technologically sufficient location to be proposed by Tenant and approved by Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided the installation of the GPS Antenna in the location proposed by Tenant does not materially and adversely affect (i) the structural integrity of the Building or (ii) any electrical, mechanical, or other system of the Building) consisting of approximately no more than thirty (30) square horizontal feet (the "Rooftop Installation Area"), with any guide wires to be located therein or within the immediate vicinity. The Rooftop Installation Area is to be used by Tenant solely for the installation, operation, maintenance, repair and replacement during the Term of this Lease of a GPS antenna eighteen (18") inches in diameter and other related communications equipment, including one two-inch (2") conduit connecting the antenna to the Premises, to be located in a vertical chase mutually designated by Landlord and Tenant (collectively, the "GPS Antenna") and for Tenant's Supplemental AC System as Landlord approves in advance in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant's installation and operation of the GPS Antenna and of Tenant's Supplemental AC System and its obligations with respect thereto shall be all in accordance with the terms, provisions, conditions and agreements contained in this Lease.

 

12.1.2 Tenant shall install the GPS Antenna and Tenant's Supplemental AC System, provided Tenant elects to install the Tenant's Supplemental AC System, in the Rooftop Installation Area at its sole cost and expense, at such times and in such manner as Landlord may reasonably designate and in accordance with all of the applicable provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any work or incur any expense to prepare the Rooftop Installation Area for Tenant's use thereof.

 

12.1.3 Tenant shall not install or operate the GPS Antenna or Tenant's Supplemental AC System until it receives prior written approval from Landlord, which approval Landlord agrees shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed provided, and on the condition that Tenant complies with all of the requirements of this Lease (including, without limitation, this Article XII). Prior to commencing such installation, Tenant shall provide Landlord with (i) copies of all required permits, licenses and authorizations which Tenant will obtain at its own expense and which Tenant will maintain at all times during the operation of the GPS Antenna and Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable; and (ii) a certificate of insurance evidencing insurance coverage as required by this Lease and any other insurance reasonably required by Landlord for the installation and operation of the GPS Antenna and Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable. Landlord may withhold approval if the installation or operation of the GPS Antenna or the Tenant's Supplemental AC System reasonably would be expected to damage the structural integrity of the Building.

12.1.4 Tenant covenants that (i) Tenant shall repair any damage to the roof of the Building caused by the installation or operation of the GPS Antenna and Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable, (ii) the installation and operation of the GPS Antenna on the roof shall not cause interference with any telecommunications, mechanical or other systems either located or servicing the Building (whether belonging to or utilized by Landlord or any other tenant or occupant of the Building) or located at or servicing any building, premises or location in the vicinity of the Building, except to the extent permissible under applicable F.C.C. regulations and (iii) the installation, existence, maintenance and operation of the GPS Antenna and Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable, shall not constitute a violation of any applicable laws, ordinances, rules, order, regulations, etc., of any Federal, State, or municipal authorities having jurisdiction thereover, or constitute a nuisance or interfere with the use and enjoyment of the premises of any other tenant in the Building.

 

12.1.5 The term of the Rooftop License shall be deemed to commence on the Term Commencement Date and expire on the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease.

 

12.1.6 Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent (the "GPS Rent"), all applicable taxes or governmental charges, fees, or impositions imposed upon Landlord and arising out of Tenant's use of the Rooftop Installation Area, and the amount, if any, by which Landlord's insurance premiums increase as a result of the installation of the GPS Antenna and Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable.

 

12.1.7 Tenant covenants and agrees that the installation, operation and removal of the GPS Antenna and Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable, will be at its sole risk. Tenant agrees to indemnify and defend Landlord and all other Indemnitees (as defined in Section  5.6.1) against all claims, actions, actual and punitive damages, liabilities and expenses including reasonable attorney's fees by counsel of Landlord's choice incurred in connection with the loss of life, personal injury, damage to property or business or any other loss or injury or as a result of any litigation arising out of the installation, use, operation, or removal of the GPS Antenna or Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable, by Tenant or its transferee, including any liability arising out of Tenant's violation of its obligations under Section 12.1.4 (except if such liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents, or contractors). Landlord assumes no responsibility for interference in the operation of the GPS Antenna caused by other tenants' telecommunications equipment, or for interference in the operation of other tenants' telecommunications equipment caused by the GPS Antenna.

 

12.1.8 Within fifteen (15) days following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or the permanent termination of the operation of the GPS Antenna by Tenant, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) remove the GPS Antenna from the Rooftop Installation Area and the Building in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) leave the Rooftop Installation Area in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted and (iii) pay all amounts due and owing with respect to the Rooftop License up to the date of the termination thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be obligated to remove Tenant's Supplemental AC System at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, except if Tenant's Supplemental AC System is not in good working order at the time of such expiration or earlier termination or at the time Tenant terminates operation of Tenant's Supplemental AC

System, after which Tenant shall be obligated to remove Tenant's Supplemental AC System and comply with the requirements of the preceding sentence. If Tenant does not remove the GPS Antenna or Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable, when so required, the GPS Antenna or Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable, shall become Landlord's property and, at Landlord's election, Landlord may remove and dispose of the GPS Antenna or Tenant's Supplemental AC System, if applicable, and charge Tenant for all costs and expenses incurred as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding that Tenant's use of the Rooftop Installation Area shall be subject at all times to and shall be in accordance with the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in this Lease, the Rooftop Installation Area shall not be deemed part of the Premises. All Tenant obligations under this Article XII shall survive the expiration of the Term of this Lease.

13.1.7 Tenant covenants and agrees that the installation, operation and removal of the Generator will be at its sole risk. Tenant agrees to indemnify and defend Landlord and all other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 5.6.1) against all claims, actions, actual and punitive damages, liabilities and expenses including reasonable attorney's fees by counsel of Landlord's choice incurred in connection with the loss of life, personal injury, damage to property or business or any other loss or injury or as a result of any litigation arising out of the installation, use, operation, or removal of the Generator by Tenant or its transferee, including any liability arising out of Tenant's violation of its obligations under Section 13.1.4 (except if such liability is caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its employees, agents, or contractors).

 

13.1.8 Within fifteen (15) days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease or the permanent termination of the operation of the Generator by Tenant, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) remove the Generator from the Ground Installation Area and the Building in accordance with the terms hereof, (ii) leave the Ground Installation Area in good order and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted and (iii) pay all amounts due and owing with respect to the Ground License up to the date of the termination thereof.
