Landlord will make the Premises HVAC Supply available to the Premises outside of Normal Business Hours at a cost to Tenant of $50.00 per hour. Landlord will not be liable for any interruption of utility services to the Premises, nor will any such interruption constitute a termination of this Lease or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant. Landlord will use reasonable efforts to avoid or limit such interruptions to the extent that such interruptions are within Landlord’s reasonable power or control and subject to the reasonable operational requirements of the Property. If there is an interruption in utility services: (i) for which Landlord is responsible or which Landlord could, with reasonable efforts, have prevented; (ii) that materially affects Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises; and, (iii) which interruption in service is not restored within five days, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent until such service is restored.
     10.2 Premises HVAC Supply.

If Tenant chooses to occupy either floor of the Premises with more than 50 people, Tenant acknowledges that the Premises HVAC Supply may prove to be inadequate in that circumstance.
     10.3 Cleaning. Cleaning of the Premises will be provided under a separate contract of even date herewith between Landlord and Tenant.
11. Surrender of Premises; Holding Over.
     11.1 Surrender by Tenant.

As further provided in Section 7.2, above, Tenant will remove all alterations made by Tenant and repair any damage to the Premises resulting from such removal unless Landlord instructs Tenant to leave some or all of such alterations in place, in which event, such alterations will become the property of Landlord without compensation, provided that Tenant will always have the right and obligation to remove its trade fixtures and business equipment. If any of Tenant’s property remains within the Property after the Termination Date, it may be retained by Landlord without compensation, or may be removed and either stored

Carbonite Lease
5.20.10
or disposed of by Landlord and Tenant will reimburse Landlord upon demand for all expenses incurred in connection therewith.
     11.2 Holding Over. As an inducement to Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant covenants to vacate and surrender the Premises on or before the Termination Date as provided in Section 11.1 above. If Tenant fails to so vacate and surrender the Premises, Tenant will be a daily tenant at sufferance as of the day following the Termination Date, for which Tenant shall pay for the first 30 days of such holding over, for each day’s use and occupancy, daily in arrears, at a rate equal to 150% of the daily rent rate in effect under this Lease for the last month of the Term and beginning on the 31st day of such holding over and thereafter at a rate equal to 200% of the daily rent rate in effect under this Lease for the last month of the Term. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, direct and indirect, sustained by Landlord as a result of Tenant’s holding over for more than 30 days; otherwise, such occupancy by Tenant will be on the same terms and conditions as under this Lease, so far as applicable. Landlord and Tenant agree that, as a daily tenant at sufferance, Tenant will not be entitled to notice to quit or to remove Tenant’s property from the Premises, and Landlord may immediately commence any action or actions to compel the removal of Tenant and Tenant’s possessions and to collect damages resulting from Tenant’s holding over for more than 30 days, for use and occupation, or for any other sums then due Landlord. Landlord’s acceptance of any payment from Tenant on account of such holding over, however characterized, will not be deemed an acceptance of rent nor as a recognition of Tenant’s right to occupy the Premises.
12. Hazardous Materials. Tenant will not cause, or permit any other person claiming or admitted to the Property through Tenant to cause, any Hazardous Materials to be used, generated, stored or disposed of on or about, or transported to or from the Property. “Hazardous Materials” means any material or substance which: (a) is or becomes defined as a “hazardous substance,” “hazardous waste,” “infectious waste,” “chemical mixture or substance,” or “air pollutant” under Environmental Laws; (b) contains or derives from petroleum, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) or asbestos; (c) is radioactive or infectious; or (d) has toxic, reactive, ignitable or corrosive characteristics. “Environmental Laws” means all legal requirements relating to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning Hazardous Materials, public health and safety or the environment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, normal and reasonable quantities of Hazardous Materials generally and customarily used in connection with Tenant’s Permitted Uses may be introduced to the Premises provided such Hazardous Materials are stored, used and disposed of in compliance with Environmental Laws and all other applicable legal requirements. Tenant will be responsible for and will hold Landlord harmless and indemnified against any claim, damage, cost, liability or penalty related to any Hazardous Materials introduced to or released on or about the Property by Tenant or by any person claiming or admitted to the Property through Tenant, whether or not permitted by the preceding sentence or otherwise approved by Landlord.
13. Risk of Loss; Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, but subject to the provisions of the remaining sentences of this Section 13, (a) Tenant agrees

Carbonite Lease
5.20.10
that it will occupy the Premises at its own risk, and that Landlord will not be liable to Tenant, or to any person claiming or admitted to the Premises through Tenant, for injury or death to persons, or loss or damage to property of any nature whatsoever, and (b) Tenant waives and will indemnify Landlord against any claim for bodily injury or death or damage to property, including reasonable legal fees, by Tenant or by any person claiming under or admitted to the Premises through Tenant, while at the Premises, including, without limitation, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors and invitees. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Landlord shall save harmless, exonerate and indemnify Tenant, its contractors, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, liabilities or penalties asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation, or public authority on account of injury, death, damage or loss to person or property in or upon the Premises, Building or Property arising out of the willful misconduct, gross negligence, or negligence of Landlord, its agents and employees, except to the extent the same was caused by the willful misconduct, gross negligence or negligence, of Tenant, its agents and employees. In respect of all of the foregoing, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant from and against all costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), and liabilities incurred in or in connection with any such claim, action or proceeding brought thereon.
14. Insurance. Tenant will maintain in effect, at its expense, the following insurance:
     14.1. Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability insurance in at least the Required Insurance Amount, for bodily and personal injury and property damage, including as additional insureds Landlord, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, any other person or entity directly liable for the obligations of Landlord, and any representative or employee of Landlord, any other person or entity directly liable for the obligations of Landlord, and any representative or employee of Landlord or any mortgagee of the Property designated by Landlord, such coverage to be primary and not excess or contributing or secondary to any other insurance available to Landlord or the additional insureds.

5.20.10
     14.6. Waiver of Claims; Waiver of Subrogation. Each party waives any right of recovery against the other for injury or loss to property due to hazards covered by insurance to the extent of the injury or loss covered. Any policy of insurance obtained by either party and applicable to the Premises or the Property will contain a clause denying the insurer any right of subrogation against the other party, even though such waiver of subrogation requires payment of an additional premium, for which the party obtaining the policy shall pay.
     14.7. Certificates of Insurance. Before making any entry on the Property and at least 30 days before the expiration of any policy, Tenant will provide certificates of insurance, in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord, establishing insurance coverages as required by this Section.
     14.8. Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord shall insure the Building against damage with full replacement cost “special cause of loss form” coverage.
15. Assignment and Subleasing. Tenant will not assign this Lease, sublease any part of the Premises or otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest in this Lease or in the Premises without obtaining the written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
16. Relation of Lease to Mortgages. This Lease will be subordinate to all mortgages on the Property, now outstanding or hereafter granted, provided that the record holder of a first mortgage on the Property (a “First Mortgagee”) may elect to place this Lease ahead of the lien of its mortgage (and of other mortgages on the Property, if it so elects) and may thereafter change such election, effective as of the recording of a written notice of such election with the Suffolk Registry of Deeds, with a copy of such notice to Tenant. If a mortgage on the Property is foreclosed, the foreclosing mortgagee or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale (in either case, “First Successor Landlord”), may, at its option, require that Tenant attorn to such party as the Landlord hereunder and continue to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Lease for the balance of the Term, provided that First Successor also agrees that Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises will not be disturbed so long as Tenant complies with its obligations under this Lease. Neither the First Successor Landlord nor any successor or assign of a First Successor Landlord will be (a) liable for any act or omission of or subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any Landlord prior to the First Successor Landlord (a “Prior Landlord”) except to the extent such act or refusal to act is in violation of this Lease and is continued by the First Successor Landlord or its successor or assign, (b) liable for the return of any security deposit not actually paid over to the First Successor Landlord, (c) bound by any payments which Tenant has paid to a Prior Landlord other than for monthly installments next due, (d) obliged to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time the First Successor Landlord took title, or (e) obliged to perform any work or to make any improvements to the Premises undertaken by a Prior Landlord. A First Mortgagee that gives notice of its address to Tenant will be entitled to receive a simultaneous copy of any notice of default by Tenant to Landlord and will have an additional 30 days beyond any cure period available to Landlord within which to cure such default, and unless such additional time expires without cure, Tenant will have no

12


 

Carbonite Lease
5.20.10
right to terminate this Lease on account of Landlord’s default. Any amendment or cancellation of this Lease or surrender of the Premises made without the prior written consent of the First Mortgagee will be void and of no effect. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from its First Mortgagee a so-called “non-disturbance agreement” wherein such mortgagee agrees that Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises will not be disturbed so long as Tenant complies with its obligations under the this Lease.
17. Tenant Defaults
     17.1. Events of Default. Each of the following will constitute a material default by Tenant (a “Tenant Default”): (a) failure by Tenant to make any payment required under this Lease within two days of the date such payment is due; (b) failure by Tenant to maintain insurance and to provide certificates as required by this Lease; (c) insolvency or admission of insolvency by Tenant, the filing by or against Tenant of any bankruptcy, receivership or other proceeding under State or Federal law, or entering into or acquiescence by Tenant to any arrangement affecting the rights of Tenant’s creditors generally, or attachment, execution or other seizure of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease or the Premises; and, (d) failure by Tenant to fulfill any other material obligation under this Lease, if such failure (meaning the failure by Tenant to fulfill any other material obligation under this Lease) is not cured within 20 days of notice from Landlord to Tenant, or such longer period as may reasonably be necessary, not to exceed a total of 30 days, if Tenant promptly commences and diligently pursues such cure. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 17.1 to the contrary, Tenant shall be permitted, during each consecutive 12-month period hereunder commencing on the Commencement Date, to make 2 payments required under this Lease within 5 days (as opposed to 2 days) of the date such payment is due. As long as such payments are made within such 5 day periods, Landlord shall not be entitled to declare a Tenant Default with respect to such payments. However, nothing in the preceding sentence shall affect Landlord’s rights contained in any other section of this Lease, including without limitation, the provisions of Section 3.2.
     17.2. Termination by Notice. If a Tenant Default occurs, in addition to any other rights or remedies, Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease and recover possession of the Premises by written notice to Tenant, effective on the date specified in such notice or, if no date is specified, on the date of receipt or first properly attempted delivery of such notice.
     17.3. Landlord’s Remedies. In addition to any other rights or remedies, if Landlord terminates this Lease for a Tenant Default, Landlord will have the right to recover as damages from Tenant: (a) any amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord at the time of termination, (b) all of Landlord’s expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in recovering possession of the Premises and in proving and collecting the sums due from Tenant hereunder, (c) the amount by which the payments required under this Lease for the balance of the Term exceed the fair market rent for the Premises under a gross lease similar to this Lease, for the balance of the Term, determined as of the date of such termination, adjusted to its present value at a reasonable discount rate, and (d) the

13


 

Carbonite Lease
5.20.10
actual or reasonably anticipated expense to Landlord of preparing and reletting the Premises. Landlord will also have the right to enter the Premises and to perform any obligation as to which a Tenant Default has arisen, without being deemed to have cured such Tenant Default and without liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any cost and expense thus incurred promptly upon demand as damages hereunder. In lieu of the damages recoverable under clause (c) above, Landlord may recover the liquidated damages provided for in Section 17.4, below.
     17.4. Liquidated Damages. Landlord and Tenant agree that the actual damages that would be suffered by Landlord by the loss of the Rent reserved under this Lease if this Lease should be terminated due to Tenant’s default would be very difficult to estimate as of the date of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant wish to agree on a sum that would reasonably compensate Landlord for such loss and accordingly agree that, in lieu of the damages recoverable under Section 17.3(c) above and as Landlord’s sole remedy therefor Landlord may recover as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the total of the Rent payable by Tenant with respect to the 12 full calendar months preceding termination.
     17.5 Mitigation of Damages. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate damages, including to re-let the Premises, provided that Landlord will not be required to give priority to the Premises in renting, or to rent on terms or to any person not otherwise acceptable to Landlord. Landlord and Tenant agree that if Landlord elects to recover liquidated damages under Section 17.4, above, Landlord will have no obligation to mitigate damages as a condition to recovering such liquidated damages.
18. Landlord Defaults
     18.1. Events of Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless it shall fail to perform such obligations and such failure shall continue for 20 days after written notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of Landlord’s alleged default, provided if such default cannot be reasonably cured within such 20 day period then within such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default, and further provided that Landlord commences to cure such default within such 20 day period and diligently prosecutes it to completion.
     18.2. Tenant’s Remedies. If a Landlord Default occurs and such Landlord Default directly affects and materially impairs Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises for the Permitted Uses, Tenant may make such repairs within the Premises and in Common Areas adjacent to the Premises necessary to restore Tenant’s use, and Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the reasonable and necessary third party costs thus incurred by Tenant upon receipt from Tenant of a statement of such costs in reasonable detail and such backup materials as Landlord may reasonably request. If Landlord fails to so reimburse Tenant within 60 days of receipt by Landlord of such statement and backup materials, Tenant may offset such amounts against the installment or installments of Rent next coming due. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant will

14


 

Carbonite Lease
5.20.10
have no right of self-help, or any right to withhold, set-off, or abate Rent and neither party to this Lease will be liable to the other for punitive damages, lost profits, business interruption, speculative, consequential or other such damages.
     18.3. Independent Covenants. Except as specifically provided herein, the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, including the obligation to pay Rent, and the obligations of Landlord, are independent and not mutually dependent covenants and the failure of Landlord to perform any obligation hereunder will not justify or empower Tenant to withhold Rent, except as provided in the preceding Section 18.2, and the failure of Landlord to perform any obligation hereunder will not justify or empower Tenant to terminate this Lease unless the Landlord Default constitutes a constructive eviction.
19. Property Damage or Taking
     19.1. Termination. If the Building is destroyed by fire or other cause of loss or the Property or the Premises are taken in their entirety by eminent domain or conveyed in their entirety by deed in lieu of taking, this Lease will terminate as of the date of the property damage or the date that possession of the Property is surrendered to the taking authority, as applicable. If (a) the Property or the Premises are substantially damaged by fire or other cause of loss and Landlord determines in its sole discretion not to restore the Property or the Premises or both to substantially its condition as existing prior to such damage, or (b) a material portion of the Property or of the Premises is taken by eminent domain or conveyed by deed in lieu of taking, and Landlord determines in its sole discretion not to restore the remaining portion of the Premises or of the Property or both to a condition which is legal and suitable for Tenant’s Permitted Uses, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given within 90 days after such property damage or notice of taking, effective as of the date of Landlord’s notice or, with respect to a taking, on the date that possession is surrendered to the taking authority.
     19.2. Restoration. If Landlord determines (a) to restore the Property and the Premises to substantially their condition as existed prior to the damage by fire or other cause of loss or (b) to restore the remaining portion of the Premises or of the Property or both to a condition which is legal and suitable for Tenant’s Permitted Uses after such taking or conveyance, Landlord shall promptly give notice of such determination to Tenant, but in any case on or before the last day of the 90 day period referred to in section 19.1, above. Upon giving such notice to Tenant, Landlord shall promptly begin to use reasonable efforts so to restore the Property and the Premises (not including fixtures, modifications and additions installed or required to be installed by Tenant) as soon as is reasonably practical in light of the circumstances then prevailing, including the time required to collect insurance proceeds and to obtain any governmental approvals required for restoration, and subject to any other matters beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, provided that, in no event will Landlord be required to expend more for restoration of the Property or the Premises than the net amount of insurance or taking proceeds actually available to Landlord for such purposes. If restoration of the Premises is not substantially completed within 180 days of the date as of which Landlord notified Tenant that Landlord had determined to restore the Property and the Premises, Tenant

15


 

Carbonite Lease
5.20.10
may terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord effective as of any day after the end of the 180 day restoration period, which termination date shall be specified by Tenant in its notice of termination.
     19.3. Abatement. If any portion of the Premises is rendered unusable by Tenant as a result of the property damage or taking described in Section 19.1(a) or 19.1(b) above, and Tenant, at such time, is not in default under this Lease, the Rent will be abated, in part or in whole, based on the proportion of the Premises rendered unusable, until the earlier of the time at which Landlord has substantially completed its restoration or the date on which Tenant resumes use of the damaged portion of the Premises.
20. Notices. All notices under this Lease will be in writing and will be given: (a) in hand, with written acknowledgement of receipt, (b) by Federal Express, Express Mail or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service which provides verification of delivery, charges prepaid, or (c) by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, in each case addressed to Landlord or Tenant at the Notice Address set forth in Section 1. All notices will be deemed given when received by the intended recipient. Either party may change its Notice Address by notice given in accordance herewith.
21. Brokers. Tenant represents that Tenant has dealt with no broker in connection with this Lease and agrees to hold Landlord harmless and indemnified from all claims for brokerage due to any person with whom such Tenant has dealt in breach of such representation. Landlord represents that Landlord has dealt with no broker in connection with this Lease and agrees to hold Tenant harmless and indemnified from all claims for brokerage due to any person with whom such Landlord has dealt in breach of such representation.
22. Limitation on Liability. The recourse of Tenant against Landlord for any claim related to this Lease will extend only to Landlord’s interest in the Property and the uncollected rents and profits therefrom. No personal liability for any such claim will be enforceable against Landlord or any officer, trustee, director, employee, agent or other person or entity related to Landlord (including, without limitation, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts) or against any other property, person or entity. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Property, the transferring Landlord will automatically be released from all liability related to this Lease accruing after such transfer. The transferring Landlord will continue to be responsible for any security deposit received from Tenant except to the extent that Landlord has transferred same to its successor or assign.
23. Miscellaneous Provisions
     23.1. Amendments and Waivers. This Lease may not be amended except by a writing, duly executed by both parties and approved in writing by any First Mortgagee having approval rights, and no waiver or consent will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party giving it. A waiver or consent by either party hereunder will apply

16


 

Carbonite Lease
5.20.10
only to the specific instance in which granted and not to any other instance, however similar.
     23.2 Interpretation. Both parties acknowledge that they have fully read and understood this Lease and have had the opportunity to consult counsel to the extent they deemed necessary, and no provision of this Lease will be construed in favor or against either party by virtue of such party being the drafter of such provision. Enumeration of some but not all items of a class should not be construed as excluding others, notwithstanding the absence of the phrase “without limitation” or words of like meaning.
     23.3. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Lease is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be in violation of law or otherwise invalid, this Lease will be deemed amended to the limited extent necessary to cure such violation or invalidity and will be interpreted, as thus amended, so as to implement the intentions of the parties to the greatest extent possible.
     23.4. Time of the Essence; Force Majeure. Time is of the essence as to all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder unless specifically provided to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either party fails to perform an obligation hereunder, other than the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent when due, which failure results from causes beyond the reasonable control of such party, including, without limitation, labor problems, contractor disputes, legal requirements, unavailability of equipment, fixtures or materials, property damage caused by fire or other cause of loss, or disruption or unavailability of utilities or services (a “Force Majeure Event”), the amount of time for performance of such obligation shall be extended by the amount of time such performance is delayed by reason of such Force Majeure Event.
     23.5. Jurisdiction; Governing Laws. Any action by either party against the other will be instituted in the state courts of Massachusetts under Massachusetts law, and each party will have personal jurisdiction over the other for any action brought by such party in Massachusetts by service made to the other party’s Notice Address.
     23.6. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section 22 above, the benefits and burdens of this Lease will extend to the original Landlord and Tenant and to their respective successors and assigns, who will be included within the terms “Landlord” and “Tenant” as used herein, provided that no transferee from Tenant in violation of the provisions of this Lease will be entitled to any of the rights or benefits of a Tenant hereunder.
     23.7. Estoppel Certificates. Each of the parties, within 10 days of written request from the other, shall provide a certificate identifying this Lease and any amendments hereto, setting forth the amount of the then current monthly installment of Rent and of any Security Deposit held hereunder, stating whether this Lease remains in effect, whether there are any defaults by Landlord or Tenant, whether any Rent has been paid more than 30 days in advance, whether Tenant is in possession and paying Rent, whether Tenant claims any off-sets or credits or has any other defenses to the payment of

17


 

Carbonite Lease
5.20.10
Rent hereunder, and containing such other reasonable and customary information as may be requested.
     23.8 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts.
      23.9. Exhibits. The Exhibits to this Lease, which are listed immediately below the signature block, are incorporated by reference into this Lease.
     23.10. Action by Trustees of Church Realty Trust. The undersigned Trustees of Church Realty Trust represent that any two of the three Trustees thereof are a majority of such Trustees and have all necessary power and authority to enter into this Lease and related documents, including a Parking License Agreement and a Contract for Cleaning Services by virtue of the last sentence of Paragraph 8 of the Deed of Trust, which states: “All of the powers conferred on said Trustees by this instrument may be exercised by a majority thereof.”
     23.11. Time for Performance. Any action under this Lease that is permitted or required to be taken on a day that is a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in Massachusetts may be taken on the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in Massachusetts.
     23.12 Entire Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement of the parties respecting the Premises and the Property and there are no other agreements or understandings between the parties regarding the subject matter of this Lease, any prior agreements being merged herein and superseded.

Tenant shall take the actions necessary to resolve the Labor Disruption, and shall have pickets removed and, at the request of Landlord, immediately terminate any work in the Premises that gave rise to the Labor Disruption, until Landlord gives its written consent for the work to resume.
