WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, Kingston Bedford Joint Venture LLC (KBJV) and Tenant entered into a Lease dated May 9, 2001, as amended by First Amendment dated as of August 15, 2003 (the Lease) for certain space described in the First Amendment as the “Original Premises,” the “Second Floor Additional Space” and “Storage Space” (together the Premises) in the building (the Building) known as One Lincoln Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, with an option to add the appurtenant parking garage (Garage) to the Premises; and

 

WHEREAS, on February     , 2004, (the Effective Date”) Landlord succeeded to the interest of KBJV by deed dated February     , 2004 and recorded with Suffolk Registry of Deeds simultaneously with the execution of this Second Amendment; and

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant mutually intend and desire further to modify the Lease on and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and for other good and valuable consideration, each to the other paid, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Annual Fixed Rent. From and after the Effective Date, the definition of Annual Fixed Rent for the initial Term set forth in Section 1.2 of the Lease is hereby deleted and the following new definition of Annual Fixed Rent for the initial Term is inserted in its place:

 

  (a) Initial Term

 

  (i) For the entire Premises for which rent is payable (namely the Original Premises and Second Floor Additional Space, but not the Storage Space) from and after the Effective Date through the last day of the calendar month in which the twentieth (20th) Lease Anniversary Date occurs, at a rate per annum equal to the product of:

 

  (a) Sixty Two Dollars and Thirty Three Cents ($62.33); and

 

  (b) 1,024,998, being the number of Rentable Square Feet of space included within the Premises, exclusive of Storage Space.

 

  (ii) Annual Fixed Rent shall be pro rated as of the Effective Date and paid for the month in which the Effective Date occurs, less the amount equal to the portion of Annual Fixed Rent previously paid for that month attributable to the balance of the month from and after the Effective Date.

 

  (b) Extended Terms

 

The provisions of Article 21 shall remain applicable to Annual Fixed Rent for any extension of the Lease Term.

 

2. Management; Tenant’s Election as to Services

 

2.1 Management of Building.

 

(a) From and after the Effective Date, First States Management Corp., LLC (FS Management), a subsidiary of American Financial Realty Trust, the parent company

 

- 2 -


of Landlord, has been delegated by Landlord to assume responsibility for management of the Building. FS Management has been authorized to engage The Gale Company (Gale) as its on-site building manager. There shall be no incremental cost to Tenant for or due to the services of Gale or any subsequent on-site building manager selected by Landlord and the total management fee to be passed through as an Operating Expense shall in no event in any Operating Year exceed the management fee specified in Section 6.2.1 (b)(ix) (the Management Fee). Subject to Tenant’s rights hereinafter set forth, the term of any contract or other arrangement with Gale as the on-site building manager shall not exceed a period of two (2) years following the Effective Date, and may not be extended unless Tenant fails to exercise its rights under subparagraph (b) below, provided that any extension shall nevertheless be subject to termination as provided in subparagraph (b). Unless Tenant elects to self-manage the Building as hereinafter provided, there shall be an on-site building manager at all times the Lease is in effect. If Landlord or FS Management elects to replace Gale with another on-site building manager selected by Landlord or FS Management during the two (2) year period following the Effective Date, Landlord or FS Management shall not select a replacement on-site building manager against whom Tenant has a reasonable objection. Any contract or other arrangement with a replacement on-site building manager selected by Landlord, FS Management or Tenant (other than Gale) shall be terminable immediately for cause, and otherwise upon not more than thirty (30) days prior notice.

 

(b) From and after the second anniversary of the Effective Date, Tenant shall have the right at any time and from time to time thereafter during the Lease Term to designate a qualified on-site building manager, subject to the approval of Landlord and its lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Upon receipt of notice from Tenant and approval of Tenant’s designee as aforesaid, Landlord shall promptly and

 

- 3 -


diligently proceed to terminate any contract or other arrangement with the on-site building manager then engaged so that Tenant’s designee (or any successor to Tenant’s designee selected in accordance with this Section) may promptly assume the duties of an on-site building manager as expeditiously as possible, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after Tenant’s notice.

 

(c) The person or entity from time to time acting as the on-site building manager during the Lease Term shall perform its property management duties in a timely, complete and professional manner consistent with the highest level of property management services then provided at comparable first class buildings in the Boston Central Business District (the Management Standard). If Gale or a replacement on-site building manager selected by Landlord or FS Management persistently fails to perform its duties in conformity with the Management Standard (a For Cause Event), Tenant shall notify Landlord of such For Cause Event, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which the performance of the on-site building manager has failed to comply with the Management Standard. If the basis for the For Cause Event shall not have been cured to Tenant’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after such notice, or if a For Cause Event occurs more than twice in any twelve (12) month period, Landlord shall promptly and diligently proceed to cause the on-site building manager to be replaced by a qualified on-site building manager designated by Tenant. In addition, Landlord shall have the right to notify Tenant of Landlord’s belief that a For Cause Event has occurred with any on-site building manager selected by Tenant, or with Tenant should it provide its own on-site building manager services, Landlord shall have corresponding notice rights to Tenant, who shall have corresponding cure rights, and failing cure to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after such notice, Landlord shall have the right to designate a replacement on-site building manager, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1.

 

- 4 -


The fees of any on-site building manager designated by Tenant shall be included in Operating Expenses, but excluded from the determination of the maximum Management Fee payable to FS Management.

 

(d) At all times, whether designated by Landlord, FS Management or Tenant, the on-site building manager shall be engaged by and through FS Management pursuant to a separate written agreement, but Landlord and Tenant shall have joint and equal rights to receive information from and to give direction as to day to day operations of the Building to the on-site building manager. In the event of any conflict as to direction as between Landlord and Tenant, the directions of Tenant shall control pending resolution of the disagreement between Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Article 30 of the Master Lease.

 

(e) Tenant as Sublandlord and KBJV as Subtenant have entered into a Sublease (the Sublease) dated as of October 1, 2003 for 5,215 Rentable Square Feet on the seventh (7th) floor of the Building of which approximately 2,500 Rentable Square Feet is to be used as the Management Office and the balance as a Development Office. Landlord has succeeded to KBJV’s interest in the Sublease. If Tenant requires replacement of Gale as the on-site building manager in accordance with sub-paragraphs (b) or (c) above and Landlord exercises its right to relinquish the Development Office as permitted under the Sublease, then Tenant, and not Landlord, shall be responsible for erecting a demising wall between the Management Office and the Development Office and Tenant further agrees, in such event, to waive the Termination Fee (as defined in the Sublease) otherwise payable by Landlord thereunder. Should Gale no longer be the on-site building manager, Landlord shall cause the Management Office to be available to the party or entity which is the then on-site building manager.

 

- 5 -


(f) Any contract or other arrangement with an on-site building manager shall be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, including, without limitation, provisions for performance, termination, furnishing of information and compliance with directions; the last sentence of Section 7.6(a) of the Lease is hereby deleted.

 

2.2 Tenant’s Election To Perform Certain Building Services.

 

(a) At any time during the Term of the Lease, when and for so long as the Premises includes all of the Office Space in the Building, Tenant shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord, to elect to take over responsibility for janitorial, security, and other building services specified in Tenant’s notice, in which event Landlord’s obligations under Sections 7.3, 7.4, 7.6, 20.12, 20.29 and Exhibit D (including Schedule 1 thereof) shall be suspended as applicable to the service(s) assumed, for the duration of the period in which Tenant continues to have responsibility for performance of any one or more of such services (“Tenant’s Control Period”). Tenant shall not terminate Tenant’s Control Period as to any one or more service(s) assumed by Tenant until Tenant shall have given Landlord not less than sixty (60) days’ prior notice of Tenant’s intention to terminate Tenant’s Control Period with regard to such enumerated service(s). Subject to such sixty (60) day notice requirement, Landlord’s obligations arising under the aforementioned provisions of the Lease shall be reinstated at such time as Tenant’s Control Period is no longer in effect as to any such service no longer assumed by Tenant. All such services assumed by Tenant shall be furnished and provided by Tenant to at least the standard(s) for service established in this Lease (inclusive of the Exhibits attached hereto).

 

(b) During the Tenant’s Control Period, Tenant shall directly engage and pay the applicable vendors for the costs and expenses of providing the assumed services

 

- 6 -


(such costs, the Assumed Services Costs). If Operating Expenses (exclusive of Assumed Services Costs) for any Operating Year are equal to or greater than Base Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay all Assumed Services Costs without reimbursement by Landlord, and the Assumed Services Costs shall be excluded from Operating Expenses. If Operating Expenses (exclusive of Assumed Services Costs) for any Operating Year are less than Base Operating Expenses, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days following the end of such Operating Year, reimburse Tenant in an amount equal to the Assumed Services Costs for such Operating Year less the positive difference, if any, between (i) the sum of (A) Operating Expenses (exclusive of any Assumed Services Costs) and (B) Assumed Services Costs for such Operating Year and (ii) Base Operating Expenses. Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, provide to Landlord a detailed description of the services provided and written evidence of Tenant’s payment of the Assumed Services Costs. Only that portion of the Assumed Services Costs, if any, that is reimbursed by Landlord to Tenant shall be included in Operating Expenses for the applicable Operating Year, but the full amount of thereof, whether or not reimbursed by Landlord, shall be included in gross rent to calculate the Management Fee. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for Landlord’s allocable portion of the Assumed Services Costs as and when aforesaid, Tenant shall be entitled to set off the amount owed, together with interest at the Lease Interest Rate, against Annual Fixed Rent and other charges payable by Tenant under the Lease.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant agree that, within thirty (30) days following the commencement of Tenant’s Control Period and within thirty (30) days following the beginning of any Operating Year during Tenant’s Control Period, Landlord and Tenant shall determine, based on the Operating Budget for the Property (and using the formula described above), the amount of anticipated Landlord reimbursements to Tenant for Assumed

 

- 7 -


Services Costs for such Operating Year and Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly, in arrears, the pro rata portion of such anticipated reimbursements (the “Advance Reimbursements”); provided, however, that at no time shall the accumulated total of Advance Reimbursements in any Operating Year exceed the total amount of Assumed Services Costs paid by Tenant in such year. Within thirty (30) days following the end of each Operating Year, the Advance Reimbursements shall be reconciled against the actual amount of reimbursements payable by Landlord to Tenant under the formula described above and within thirty (30) days following such reconciliation, Landlord shall make payment to Tenant, or Tenant shall make payment to Landlord, for the underpayment or overpayment, as applicable.

 

3. Use. The following amendments relate to use:

 

3.1 The first sentence of Section 10.1 is hereby deleted and the following substituted: “Tenant may use and occupy the Premises for any lawful purpose customarily permitted in comparable first class office buildings in the Boston Central Business District from time to time.”

 

3.2 Section 10.3 is hereby amended by adding the following sentence after the first sentence thereof:

 

“Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to the following sentence and Section 10.4 hereof, any cafeteria, day care center, health club or dining facilities in the Building may be used for the benefit of Tenant, its Affiliates, subtenants and all other occupants, if any, of the Building and the employees and invitees of any or all of them and, in Tenant’s sole determination, by third parties.”

 

3.3 Section 10.5 is hereby deleted.

 

- 8 -


3.4 Section 10.7 is hereby suspended and the following provision is substituted in lieu thereof for so long as the Premises includes all of the Office Space in the Building, but not otherwise:

 

“Subject to rights of others to use or have access to the main lobby of the Building (the Main Lobby) if and to the extent provided by the Lease, agreements of record with abutters or any agreements entered into in connection with the granting of governmental approval for the construction and use of the Building, Tenant shall have exclusive control of the Main Lobby at no additional cost or charge, provided, however, that Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any loss, cost, liability or expense arising in connection with any third party tort claim arising from any occurrence within the Main Lobby at a time when Tenant had exclusive control thereover, unless such claim arose in connection with the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or any of its employees, guests or invitees, or in connection with any event in the Main Lobby held or sponsored by Landlord pursuant to the last sentence of this subsection. Tenant may also use and permit the use of the Main Lobby for special functions by Tenant, its Affiliates, subtenants and other occupants, if any, of the Building and, in its sole determination, by third parties. Landlord may similarly host or sponsor up to ten (10) special functions in the Main Lobby in any calendar year, provided the same do not conflict with the use of the Main Lobby or Building by Tenant or any subtenant or other occupant of the Building (as determined in Tenant’s reasonable judgment), and further provided that Landlord assume all costs for cleaning, security and similar services of any kind that may be reasonably required in connection with such event.”

 

4. Intentionally Omitted.

7. Right of First Offer. Article 24 is hereby deleted and the following substituted:

 

ARTICLE 24

 

Right Of First Offer On Sale

 

24.1 Right of First Offer.

 

(a) Provided that, at the time of exercise by Tenant, (i) no Event of Default or condition or state of facts which with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default then exists, and (ii) this Lease is then in full force and effect, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first offer to purchase the Building and/or the Land or the entity owning the Building and/or the Land, or an interest in any of the foregoing (the Right of First Offer”) on the terms and conditions contained in this Article 24.

 

(b) If Landlord should, in Landlord’s sole and exclusive judgment, at any time during the Term of this Lease determine that it would like to sell the Building and/or

 

- 10 -


the Land or the entity owning the Land and/or the Building, or an interest in any of the foregoing, to a third party buyer which is not an Affiliate of Landlord or an Affiliate of any member of Landlord or any of their Affiliates (each an Excepted Party), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a notice (the Offer Notice) specifying the interest (the Specified Interest) in the Land and/or the Building or in the entity owning the Land and/or Building that Landlord has determined to sell. The Offer Notice shall set forth the purchase price at which Landlord would be willing to sell the Specified Interest. Landlord shall have no obligation to give an Offer Notice to Tenant if Landlord desires to sell or convey an interest in the Building and/or Land or an interest in the entity owning the Building and/or Land to an Excepted Party.

 

(c) For the purposes of this Article 24, “sell” or “sale” shall also include an exchange of property or a master lease of the Land and Building in a single transaction for a term of sixty (60) years or more, or an assignment or other transfer in one or a related series of transfers resulting in a transfer, of fifty percent (50%) or more of Landlord’s interest in the Land and/or the Building, or a transfer or a related series of transfers which amount to a transfer of an interest of fifty (50%) percent or more in Landlord (other than to an Excepted Party). Specifically excluded are a “sale” pursuant to a “sale/leaseback” financing transaction or other financing transaction, provided that Landlord’s and Tenant’s responsibilities to each other remain substantially the same.

 

24.2 Response to Offer: Due Diligence; Sale of Specified Interest to Tenant.

 

(a) Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days following receipt of the Offer Notice to respond, in writing, that Tenant is interested in exploring purchasing the Specified Interest (a reply notice expressing Tenant’s interest in exploring purchasing the Specified Interest is referred to herein as a Notice of Interest). Tenant’s failure to send Landlord a Notice of

 

- 11 -


Interest, together with a good faith deposit in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Offering Price (the Deposit), within the fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed a waiver by Tenant of the Right of First Offer, except as provided in Section 24.3 hereof.

 

(b) If Tenant timely delivers a Notice of Interest and the Deposit as provided above, Tenant shall have until 5:00 p.m. local time on the thirtieth (30th) day following delivery of its Notice of Interest (the “Due Diligence Period”; the expiration of the Due Diligence Period being the Due Diligence Deadline) to perform such title, survey, building condition, building income and expenses, legal compliance, environmental and third party tenant and other due diligence as is customary and appropriate for similar transactions in the Boston Central Business District (it being understood that Tenant shall not have any due diligence rights with respect to Tenant’s Lease or other matters within Tenant’s direct control). Landlord shall furnish to Tenant within three (3) days of its request therefor, but without any representation as to its completeness or accuracy (except as to the actual knowledge of Landlord’s on-site property manager, as to materials delivered by Landlord or such on-site property manager as provided in Exhibit A), all pertinent information relating to the Property within the Landlord’s control or possession or the possession of any of Landlord’s agents or consultants, including without limitation, Landlord’s attorneys, and shall permit inspections of the Property and operating systems. Should Tenant determine, in its sole but reasonable discretion, that the results of Tenant’s due diligence investigations of the Specified Interest are not satisfactory to Tenant, Tenant may elect not to proceed with the purchase of the Specified Interest by sending Landlord a written withdrawal (a Withdrawal) of its Notice of Interest on or before the Due Diligence Deadline, in which event Landlord promptly shall return to Tenant the Deposit and any interest accrued thereon, and the provisions of Section 24.3 shall take effect. The foregoing

 

- 12 -


notwithstanding, any Withdrawal predicated upon due diligence investigations other than title, survey, building condition, building income and expenses, legal compliance, environmental and third party tenant due diligence of the Premises or the Building shall be delivered, is at all, not later than the fifteenth (15th) day of the Due Diligence Period. If Tenant fails to timely send a Withdrawal to Landlord as specified above, without further action of Landlord or Tenant, Landlord shall be obligated to sell the Specified Interest to Tenant, and Tenant shall be obligated to purchase the Specified Interest from Landlord, on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice, as supplemented by the terms and conditions set forth in this Article 24 and those certain additional terms and conditions enumerated in Exhibit A hereto.

 

(c) The closing of such sale of the Specified Interest (the Closing”) shall occur on the date (the Closing Date”) chosen by Tenant with at least two (2) Operating Days prior written notice to Landlord that is no more than thirty (30) calendar days after the Due Diligence Deadline, or another date, if any, which is mutually agreeable to the parties hereto. In the event of Tenant’s default with respect to such purchase, Landlord’s sole remedy shall be to retain the Deposit as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, it being understood that Landlord’s actual damages for non-performance by Tenant may be difficult to ascertain. If the sale does not take place for reasons not the fault of Tenant, the Deposit shall be promptly refunded to Tenant. Any interest earned on the Deposit shall be paid to the party ultimately entitled to receive the Deposit.

 

24.3 Tenant’s Failure to Accept Offer.

 

(a) If Tenant shall not reply to Landlord’s Notice Offer within such fifteen (15) day period, or if in such reply Tenant declines to purchase the Specified Interest, or if a Notice of Interest is timely delivered to Landlord, but subsequently a Withdrawal is timely

 

- 13 -


delivered or Tenant fails to close on the Closing Date for reasons not the fault of Landlord, and unless as specified in subsection (b) and (c) below, Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have waived its rights under this Article 24, and Landlord shall be free to sell the Specified Interest, without re-offering the Specified Interest to Tenant, upon such terms and conditions as Landlord shall determine, but only on condition that (i) the purchase price for such sale shall be at least equal to one hundred three and one-half percent (103.5%) of the Offering Price offered to Tenant, net of any monetary concessions granted to the buyer not given to Tenant in the Offer Notice or Exhibit A and before the payment of brokerage commissions and other usual and customary costs of sale to a third party (i.e., not to Tenant under this right of first offer), and (ii) Landlord accepts a bona fide offer to purchase the Specified Interest for such purchase price within twelve (12) months, and the transaction closes within eighteen (18) months, after the date which is the earlier of (A) the date by which Tenant was required to reply to Landlord’s Offer Notice or (B) the date of receipt by Landlord of a reply to Landlord’s Offer Notice in which Tenant declines to purchase the Specified Interest.

 

(b) If within the time periods specified in subsection (a) above, Landlord shall (i) fail to sell the Specified Interest for a price which is at least equal to one hundred three and one-half percent (103.5%) of the Offering Price offered to Tenant (adjusted as provided in subclause (i) of Section 24.3(a), above), or (ii) fail to accept a bona fide offer to purchase the Specified Interest and close within the period(s) set forth in subparagraph (a) above, and if Landlord continues to desire to sell the Specified Interest, then the provisions of this Article 24 shall again become applicable, except that the Due Diligence Deadline specified in Section 24.2(b) shall be shortened until 5:00 p.m. local time on the fifteenth (15th) day following delivery of Tenant’s Notice of Interest.

 

- 14 -


(c) If Landlord sells the Specified Interest for a price which is at least equal to one hundred three and one-half percent (103.5%) of the Offering Price offered to Tenant (adjusted as provided in subclause (i) of Section 24.3(a), above), pursuant to a bona fide offer to purchase the Specified Interest, which offer shall have been accepted by Landlord and closed within the period(s) as stated subparagraph (a) above, then Tenant’s right of first offer as described in this Article 24 shall be deemed to have been waived with respect to such sale, but Tenant’s right of first offer as provided herein shall nevertheless continue with respect to any subsequent decision by any subsequent Landlord or owner thereafter to sell an interest in the Land and/or the Building or in the entity owning the Land and/or the Building during the Lease Term.

 

(d ) At any time and from time to time, as reasonably requested by Landlord, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice, Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing and in recordable form certifying, if such be the case, that Tenant’s right of first offer provided in this Article 24 has lapsed, or has been waived or is otherwise not applicable with respect to any particular transaction, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by others with whom Landlord may be dealing.

 

24.4 Intentionally Omitted.

 

24.5 Inapplicability. In no event shall the provisions of this Article 24 apply to a sale pursuant to an exercise of a power of sale or a foreclosure by a mortgagee or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure by such mortgagee or its nominee.

 

8. Garage.

 

Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a lease for the Garage (“Garage Lease”) to commence upon expiration or sooner termination of the existing lease with Valet Park of New

 

- 15 -


England and vacating of the Garage by such tenant (for purposes of this section only, the “Commencement Date”). Landlord shall cause the Commencement Date to occur no later than July 1,2004, and shall give Tenant at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of the reasonably anticipated Commencement Date. Attached hereto as Exhibit C is a summary of terms to be incorporated into the Garage Lease. For such time as the Garage Lease shall remain in effect, the provisions of Article 26 shall be suspended, and Articles 23, 31 and paragraphs 9(a), (b) and (c) of the First Amendment shall no longer be in force and effect. The foregoing notwithstanding, paragraph 9(d) of the First Amendment shall remain in effect during the Lease Term whether or not the Garage Lease is in force. If the Garage Lease is not executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant by March 8, 2004, then at the sole option of Tenant exercised at any time thereafter in writing by notice to Landlord, this Section 8 of the Second Amendment shall no longer apply.

 

9. Lease Restructuring Fee. As of the Effective Date, Landlord shall pay Tenant a lease restructuring fee (“Lease Restructuring Fee”) of Eight Million Six Hundred Fifty Eight Thousand, Two Hundred Fifty Nine Dollars ($8,658,259.00).

 

10. Landlord’s Contributions. On or before the Effective Date, Tenant and Landlord shall agree on the aggregate amount of remaining payments in the nature of landlord’s contributions due Tenant under the Lease (including, without limitation, unpaid Landlord’s Contribution and unpaid Maximum Landlord’s Delay Cost) which shall be funded into a mutually acceptable escrow account for payment to Tenant as and when due under the Lease.

 

11. Remaining Landlord’s Work. Landlord and Tenant have agreed that the remaining Landlord’s Work as concerns all floors of the Building except floors 10-14 inclusive, being the floors of which Tenant has not yet taken possession, is specified in Exhibit B hereto (the Closing Punchlist”). Tenant shall take possession of the Remaining Floors on or before April 1, 2004 and shall complete a punch list of those floors as required by the Lease (the Additional Punchlist,” together with the Closing Punchlist and any other punchlists provided for in the Lease, the Punchlists). Landlord agrees to cause all work on the Punchlists to be completed as and when provided in the Lease

 

- 16 -


12. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.

 

13. Entire Agreement. This Second Amendment (including the Exhibits attached hereto), together with the Lease and the First Amendment (and the Exhibits attached thereto) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior dealings between them with respect to such subject matter, and there are no verbal or collateral understandings, agreements, representations or warranties not expressly set forth in the Lease, as amended. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to the Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant, unless reduced to writing and signed by the party or parties to be charged therewith.

 

Counterparts. This Second Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

 

Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all payment, performance, notice and other obligations of the parties as provided in this Amendment.

 

Ratification. As amended hereby, the Lease is ratified and confirmed and declared to be in full force and effect.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, parties have set their respective hands as of the date first above written.

EXHIBIT “A”

 

The following provisions correspond to Section 6 of the within Second Amendment, and Section 24.2(b) of the Lease as stated therein:

 

1. At Closing, Landlord shall convey title to the Property to Tenant by Massachusetts statutory (M.G.L.A.ch. 183, Sec. 11) quitclaim deed (the “Deed”), duly executed and acknowledged by Landlord and in proper form for recording, conveying good clear record marketable fee simple title to the real property to Tenant (or its nominee if specified in written notice from Tenant to Landlord delivered at least seven (7) days prior to the Closing), insurable as such by Tenant’s title insurance company (which shall be a nationally-recognized title insurance company), subject to all matters of record. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Landlord agrees to discharge any mortgage liens and other voluntary encumbrances securing the payment of money due and owing by Landlord which currently exist or which may be placed on the Property by Landlord at any time up to and including the date of Closing (collectively, “Monetary Liens”).

 

2. Prior to any entry to perform any soils or other intrusive on-site testing, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice thereof, including the identity of the company or persons who will perform such testing and the proposed scope of the testing. Landlord shall have the right to approve or disapprove, in Landlord’s sole discretion, such proposed soils or other intrusive testing within three (3) business days after receipt of such notice. If Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors take any sample from the Property in connection with any such approved testing, Tenant shall provide to Landlord a portion of such sample being tested to allow Landlord, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing. Landlord or its representative may be present to observe any testing or other inspection performed on the Property. Upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Landlord copies of any reports relating to any testing or other inspection of the Property performed by Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors. Tenant shall not contact any governmental authority without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord thereto, and Landlord, at Landlord’s election, shall be entitled to have a representative on any phone or other contact made by Tenant to a governmental authority and present at any meeting by Tenant with a governmental authority. All due diligence materials delivered by Landlord or its on-site property manager shall be to such on-site property manager’s actual knowledge, but without independent inquiry or investigation, true, correct and complete in all material respects.

 

3. Tenant shall maintain, and shall assure that its contractors maintain, commercial general liability and property insurance with a reputable insurer lawfully doing business in Massachusetts, with a Best’s rating of A-X or better in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord to insure against all liability of Tenant and its agents, employees or contractors, arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence of such insurance coverage upon request by Landlord. Any such policy shall include a contractual liability endorsement which insures Tenant’s indemnity obligations hereunder.

6. PRORATIONS AND CHARGES.

 

(a) At Closing, Tenant and Landlord shall prorate as of the Closing Date those items of income and expense that are capable of an exact determination. For those items of income and expense that are incapable of an exact determination as of the Closing Date, Tenant and Landlord shall make a good faith estimate of the closing prorations using the most recent ascertainable amounts of or other reliable information in respect to each such item of income and expense. Real estate taxes and assessments that are not yet due and payable shall be apportioned using the rates and valuation shown on the latest available tax bill. If percentage rent is payable pursuant to any of the tenant leases, Landlord shall be entitled to its prorata share of any percentage rent under any tenant lease for any fiscal year which includes the Closing Date, and the proration shall be based on the number of days in such fiscal year before Closing and the actual percentage rent due under any such tenant lease for the most recent period for which percentage rent was due and payable thereunder. Tenant and Landlord shall use their best efforts to obtain an exact determination of the remaining items of income and expense within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, except for the bill for real estate taxes and percentage rent which may be available sometime after the sixtieth (60th) day after the Closing Date. On or before the sixtieth (60th) day after the Closing Date, Tenant shall deliver a report to Landlord, indicating which estimated closing items have been determinable, together with such documentation enabling Tenant to make such exact determination and the amount either owed by, or owed to, Landlord. Landlord shall have twenty (20) days to review such report and indicate its approval of such determinations. After approval of such report or after receipt of the actual bill for real estate taxes and/or percentage rent, if Tenant owes money to Landlord, Tenant shall promptly pay such overage to Landlord, or if Landlord owes Tenant money, Landlord shall promptly pay the amount so owed to Tenant. This provision shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year and the recording of the Deed and shall not be merged thereby. For purposes of computing any prorations required under this Section, the Closing Date shall be a day of income and expense to Tenant unless the Closing Date occurs on the last day of a month, in which event the Closing Date shall be a day of income and expense to Landlord. Tenant shall be obligated to pay the cost of any leasing commission or tenant improvements with respect to any new lease approved by Tenant prior to the Closing.

 

(b) At Closing, Landlord shall be charged the following:

 

(i) prorated general real estate taxes and assessments;

 

- 21 -

If, at the expiration of the extended time, Landlord, after using commercially reasonable efforts (which efforts shall not require the expenditure of money), shall be unable to deliver one or more of such instruments) or document(s), then, at Tenant’s option and as Tenant’s sole remedy, Tenant shall either (i) waive Landlord’s failure to so deliver such instrument(s) and document(s) and close as otherwise contemplated hereunder, or (ii) determine not to proceed to Closing, in which event the Deposit shall forthwith be refunded to Tenant, with the interest earned thereon, and all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate except those which specifically survive termination.
