Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Average Occupancy Figure is less than ninety five percent (95%) of the total rentable square footage in Building 5 during the Base Operating Expense Year or any other calendar year, then in such event (i) the Denominator described hereinabove shall be then established during such period in question at ninety five percent (95%) of the total rentable square footage in Building 5, and (ii) those components of Operating Expenses which relate to and are incurred as a consequence of Building 5 tenant use and occupancy (including Building 5 maintenance and repair, janitorial and cleaning expenses. Building 5 management fees and costs and Building 5 tenant electric expenses) shall be increased on a pro rata basis from the actual levels at which they are incurred during any given calendar year in question to the levels at which they would have been incurred had the Average Occupancy Figure been ninety five percent (95%) of the total square footage in Building 5 during the calendar year in question.

Prior to the end of the Base Operating Expense Year, and in advance of each calendar year thereafter during the Term, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with an estimate (which estimate may be changed by Landlord from time to time) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the

 

8


Expense and Tax Increases for the ensuing calendar year (or portion thereof). Commencing with the monthly installment of Base Rent payable for January, 2019, and thereafter on the first (1st) day of each month during the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of Landlord’s then current estimate of Expense and Tax Increases. Within 180 days after the end of each calendar year following the Base Operating Expense Year and within 180 days after the end of the Term, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a statement, prepared by Landlord, of the actual Expense and Tax Increases for the preceding calendar year (or partial calendar year in the event the Term shall end on a date other than a December 31st), and the figures used for computing Tenant’s Proportionate Share for the preceding calendar year, and if Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expense and Tax Increases so stated for such period is (i) more than the amount paid for such period, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the deficiency within thirty (30) days after submission of such statement, or (ii) less than the amount paid for such period, at Landlord’s sole election, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of such excess against amounts next coming due under this Paragraph or Landlord shall refund the amount of such overpayment to Tenant (or a refund of such excess in the case of the end of the term of this Lease). Any such adjustment shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. If Landlord shall furnish such estimate subsequent to the commencement of any such calendar year, then, until the first (1st) day of the month following the month in which such estimate is furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first (1st) day of each month an amount equal to Tenant’s monthly payment with respect to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expense and Tax Increases for the last month of the preceding calendar year.

3.3 Omitted.

3.4 Electricity. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, an amount equal to $1.62 per year for each rentable square foot of the Leased Premises, which shall be payable in equal monthly installments together with the regular monthly payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent.

3.5 Absolute Obligation to Pay; No Set-Off. Tenant’s obligation to make full and prompt payments of all Base Rent and Additional Rent when owed under the terms of this Lease is absolute. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be paid without set-off, withdrawal or deduction of any nature.

3.6 Partial Payments. Any payment of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent which is less than the amount then due and owing to Landlord will be considered a payment against the oldest outstanding rental obligation and Landlord may accept such payment without affecting its rights to collect the balance owed.

3.7 Interest on Late Payments of Base Rent, Additional Rent or Other Amounts Due. Any Base Rent, Additional Rent or other amount which is owed by Tenant under this Lease and which is not paid within fifteen (15) days of the date when due shall carry interest at an annual rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the highest rate allowed by law from the date which is fifteen (15) days after the date such Base Rent and/or Additional Rent or other amount was due until the date of payment, and (ii) eighteen percent (18%) per annum.

3.8 Bookkeeping and Audits. Landlord shall maintain books and records respecting gas, electricity, Operating Expenses and Property Taxes and determine the same in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently applied. Tenant or its representative shall have the right to examine those books and records of Landlord and any managing agent reasonably necessary for purposes of auditing expenditures for gas, electricity, Operating Expenses and Taxes in question. Such examination shall take place during normal business hours at the place or places where such records are normally kept. Each Annual Operating Expense Statement rendered to Tenant shall be considered final, unless Tenant has given written notice to Landlord of its intention to audit the books and records of Landlord, which notice must be given within forty five (45) days following Tenant’s receipt of such Annual Operating Expense Statement. In the event that Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve the dispute within forty five (45) days following Landlord’s granting Tenant access to such books and records of the Landlord, then such dispute shall be submitted to an independent certified public accounting firm selected by Landlord, subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval of such firm, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The certification by such independent certified public accounting firm as to the proper amount shall be final and conclusive as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall promptly pay the fees and costs of such independent certified public accounting firm unless such certification determines that Tenant was overbilled by more than two (2%) percent in which case Tenant’s audit expenses will be paid by Landlord. Pending resolution of any such exceptions in the foregoing manner, Tenant shall continue paying, without prejudice to Tenant’s position, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of gas, electricity, Operating Expenses and Taxes paid or incurred during the applicable period in the amounts determined by Landlord, subject to adjustment after any such exceptions are resolved.

3.9 Survival. The rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant under this Article 3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for any reason.

ARTICLE 4. TAXES

4.1 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall be solely responsible for and pay within the time provided by law all taxes and assessments imposed on its inventory, furniture, trade fixtures, apparatus, equipment and any other of Tenant’s personal or other property.

4.2 Property Taxes. Tenant’s liability for the payment of Property Taxes is governed by Section 3.2 of this Lease.

4.3 Available Abatements of Real Property Taxes. Landlord shall use reasonable commercial efforts to assist Tenant’s efforts to obtain the benefit of any “Enterprise Zone” abatements of Property Taxes that may be available as a result of, relating to, or in connection with the Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Premises or Tenant’s business operations therein (“Property Tax Abatements”). Landlord shall not be required to commence any adversarial proceeding, whether administrative or judicial, to obtain any ruling, file any appeal, or otherwise to defend any application and shall not be accountable to the Tenant for any of its efforts in seeking Property Tax Abatements. In the event that any Property Tax Abatements are secured, Landlord shall credit the amount of the Property Tax Abatements, net of all out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred by Landlord in securing such Property Tax Abatements, in equal installments to the Additional Rent payable by Tenant during the next six months after such Property Tax Abatements are received by or credited to Landlord by such taxing authority. Landlord makes no representations as to the availability of Property Tax Abatements and/or the Landlord’s rights with respect thereto.

 

10


4.4 Other Taxes and License Fees. Tenant shall pay before delinquency all license and permit fees and taxes that may be imposed upon the business of Tenant on the Leased Premises.

Provided Tenant is not in default in its obligations hereunder beyond any applicable cure period, Tenant shall have the option to extend this Lease for one additional successive term (hereinafter referred to, as applicable, as the “Extended Term”) commencing immediately upon the expiration of the initial Term hereof and continuing for a period of five (5) years, provided that Tenant proceeds strictly in accordance with the provisions of this Article 35. On or before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) prior to the Expiration Date for the Term (the “Notice Date”), Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing that Tenant wishes to extend the term of this Lease (hereinafter referred to as “Tenant’s Extension Notice”). If at the time Landlord receives Tenant’s Extension Notice this Lease is in full force and effect without default on the part of the Tenant beyond any applicable cure period, then, during the next thirty (30) days, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the Base Rent pursuant to Article 3 of the Lease which shall be due for the Extended Term. The Base Rent specified by Landlord shall be equal to the greater of: (a) the Base Rent scheduled to be paid for the last year of the Term without giving effect to any partial or complete abatements of Base Rent (the “Rent Notice”); or (b) ninety five percent (95%) Landlord’s projected fair market Base Rent as of the commencement of the Extended Term, for comparable space in comparable buildings in New Haven (the “FMV Rent Notice”).

35.2 Base Rent for the Extended Term. (a) If the Landlord sends a Rent Notice, the Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be as set forth in the Rent Notice and consistent with Section 35.1 above.

(b) If the Landlord sends a FMV Rent Notice, the Tenant shall have 21 days after receipt of the FMV Rent Notice in which to send Landlord a written dispute as to the proposed Base Rent specified in the FMV Rent Notice. If Tenant agrees to pay such new Base Rent or if Tenant does not send a written dispute of the new Base Rent specified in the FMV Rent Notice within such 21 day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed to pay such Base Rent. If Tenant sends Landlord a written dispute as to the Base Rent proposed in the FMV Notice, the Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be determined pursuant to the arbitration system set forth in Article 35.3 below.

35.3 Arbitration of Fair Market Rent. In the event that Tenant sends written notice to Landlord disputing the FMV Rent Notice within 21 days of Tenant’s receipt of the FMV Rent Notice, each of Landlord and Tenant shall, at its own respective cost and expense, retain a real estate broker, who must have ten (10) years of experience in commercial leasing in the New Haven market, to determine the fair market Base Rent for the Leased Premises as of the commencement date of the First Extended Term or Second Extended Term, as applicable, which appraisals must be completed and submitted within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the appraisal process by Tenant’s notice electing arbitration. If the two appraisals are within ten percent (10%) of each other, then the average of the two appraisal amounts shall constitute the Base Rent which shall be due during the Extended Term. If the two appraisals are not within ten percent (10%) of each other, the two brokers shall select a third real estate broker (who must also possess the minimum qualifications described above), who within the next thirty (30) days shall select one of the two appraisal amounts which shall then constitute the Base Rent which shall be due during the Extended Term. Landlord and Tenant shall each bear one-half of the cost of said third broker. The appraisal process shall be binding upon both Landlord and Tenant.

 

36


35.4 Extended Term. Upon determination of the Base Rent for the Extended Term pursuant to Section 35.2 and 35.3 of this Lease, as applicable, this Lease shall be extended for the Extended Term, without the execution of any additional documents, and each and every term and condition of this Lease shall apply during the Extended Term, except only that: (i) the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease during the Extended Term shall be as determined above, and (ii) the phrase “term of this Lease” and “Term” shall be construed to include the Extended Term and thus the new Expiration Date shall be the last day of the Extended Term.

35.5 Failure to Exercise Option. If Tenant shall fail to give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s exercise of the Extended Term on or before the applicable Notice Date, time being of the essence, Tenant shall have no right to extend this Lease for the Extended Term and this Lease shall terminate as provided in Article 3 of this Lease and Tenant shall vacate the Leased Premises on or before the Expiration Date in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 36. INTERPRETATION OF LEASE; MISCELLANEOUS

36.1 Partial Invalidity. If any of the provisions of this Lease, or its application, is held by any court or in arbitration to be invalid or inapplicable, such decision shall not affect any other term, provision, covenant or condition of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the invalid provision has the effect of reducing the Base Rent and/or Additional Rent to be paid by Tenant, Landlord may cancel this Lease.

36.2 Article and Section Captions. Article and section captions will not be given any effect in determining the meaning of this Lease.

36.3 Governing Law. The laws of the State of Connecticut will govern the interpretation of this Lease.

36.4 Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall be binding upon the parties hereto and upon their heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.

36.5 Continuing Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all of Tenant’s and Landlord’s respective continuing rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities under Section 8.7, Section 8.8, Section 11.4, Article 12, Article 29 and Article 31 of this Lease, to the extent they are intended, by their terms, to survive, shall survive the Expiration Date or the earlier termination of this Lease for any reason.

36.6 Landlord’s Liability. In the event of a ground lease, sale, transfer or conveyance by Landlord of Building 5, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability for any of the obligations, covenants or conditions, express or implied, herein contained, provided the purchaser, ground lessee or transferee assumes Landlord’s obligations and covenants hereunder. In such event, Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease.

 

37


Landlord and Landlord’s officers, directors, shareholders and agents shall have absolutely no personal liability with respect to any provision of this Lease or any obligation or liability arising from this Lease or in connection with this Lease in the event of a breach or default by Landlord on any of its obligations. Tenant shall look solely to the equity of the Landlord in the Property and Building 5 at the time of the breach or default for the satisfaction of any remedies of Tenant, and shall have no recourse against any other assets of Landlord or against any assets of any officer, director, shareholder or agent of Landlord. Such exculpation of liability shall be absolute and without any exception whatsoever.

36.7 Existing Lease. Landlord and Tenant are currently parties to a lease executed by Landlord on July 13, 2013 and by Tenant on July 22, 2013, as amended from time to time, with respect to the Third Floor Premises and the Second Floor Premises (the “Existing Lease”). Landlord and Tenant agree that the Existing Lease shall be deemed terminated as of 1 1:59 p.m. on December 31, 2017, and all of Tenant’s obligations thereunder shall be satisfied in full upon the full execution and delivery of this Lease excepting only Tenant’s indemnity obligations under the Existing Lease and such other provisions that expressly survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. Landlord specifically agrees that this Lease shall constitute a “Qualifying Extension” and thus Tenant’s obligation to make a “One-Time Improvement Payment” (as each are defined in the Existing Lease) shall be satisfied and discharged upon the full execution and delivery of this Lease.

36.8 Replacement Premises. In the event that Landlord and Tenant agree to construct a headquarters facility for Tenant at Science Park Tract A. (“Tract A Headquarters”) which is ready for occupancy by Tenant within the Term or Extended Term of this Lease, as the case may be, Landlord and Tenant agree to terminate this Lease as of the first day of the month immediately following the later of the date by which Tenant: (a) has completed moving into the Tract A Headquarters; and (b) has finally and completely vacated and surrendered possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord.

36.9 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in counterparts and each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.
