C-6

(b)           Requirements of Tenant’s Parties.  Each of Tenant’s Parties shall guarantee to Tenant and shall be requested to also guarantee for the benefit of Landlord that the portion of the Tenant Improvements for which it is responsible shall be free from any defects in workmanship and materials for a period of not less than one (1) year from the date of completion thereof.  Each of Tenant’s Parties shall be responsible for the replacement or repair, without additional charge, of all work done or furnished in accordance with its contract that shall become defective within one (1) year after the later to occur of (i) completion of the work performed by such contractor or subcontractors, and (ii) the date when the Tenant Improvements have been Substantially Completed.  The correction of such work shall include, without additional charge, all additional expenses and damages incurred in connection with such removal or replacement of all or any part of the Tenant Improvements, and/or the Building and/or Common Areas that may be damaged or disturbed thereby.  All such warranties or guarantees as to material or workmanship of or with respect to the Tenant Improvements shall be contained in the construction contract or subcontract and shall be written such that such guarantees or warranties shall inure to the benefit of Tenant and shall be requested to inure to the benefit of Landlord, as their respective interests may appear, so as to be directly enforced by either.

 

(c)           Insurance Requirements.  In addition to the insurance requirements set forth in the Lease, Tenant shall comply with the following requirements:

C-9



 

below.  Any and all costs for the construction of the Tenant Improvements in excess of the Landlord’s Maximum Construction Cost Obligation shall be paid by Tenant to the Contractor and other applicable contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers.  Landlord reserves the right to make any payment (or portion thereof) of Landlord’s Maximum Construction Cost Obligation payable jointly to Tenant and the Contractor (or subcontractor or supplier) or directly to the Contractor or any subcontractor or supplier.

EXHIBIT D

 

EXTENSION OPTION FOR FIFTH FLOOR EAST WING PREMISES

 

So long as there shall not then be an Event of Default under this Lease, Tenant may extend the term of the Lease for the Fifth Floor East Wing Premises beyond the expiration of Fifth Floor East Wing Premises Original Term (i.e., beyond January 31, 2024) for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the “Fifth Floor East Wing Premises Extension Term”), by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof to Landlord not later than twelve (12) months (nor earlier than eighteen (18) months) before the expiration of the Fifth Floor East Wing Premises Original Term.  The Base Rent payable for each month during the Fifth Floor East Wing Premises Extension Term shall be the prevailing rental rate (the “Prevailing Rental  Rate”), at the commencement of the Fifth Floor East Wing Premises Extension Term, for renewals of space in Cambridge, Massachusetts of equivalent quality, size, utility and location, taking into account prevailing concessions including, but not be limited to, tenant improvements, tenant improvement allowances, rental abatement, the length of the Fifth Floor East Wing Premises Extension Term, size of the premises, condition of the premises, escalation charges, location of the premises, location and age of the building, free rent periods, brokerage commissions and lease term.  Within fourteen (14) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice to extend, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of the Prevailing Rental Rate and shall advise Tenant of the required adjustment to Base Rent, if any, and the other terms and conditions offered.  Tenant shall, within twenty-one (21) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate (“Tenant Notice”).  If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that Tenant accepts Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, then, on or before the commencement date of the Fifth Floor East Wing Premises Extension Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease extending the Term on the same terms provided in this Lease, except as follows:

 

(a)                                 Base Rent shall be adjusted to the Prevailing Rental Rate;

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall have no further extension option unless expressly granted by Landlord in writing; and

 

(c)                                  Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Premises in their then-current condition, and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements.

 

If Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, then the Base Rent payable for each month during the Fifth Floor East Wing Premises Extension Term (“Fair Market Rent”) shall be established by appraisal in the following manner.  By not later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Tenant Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one (1) qualified appraiser (as hereinafter defined) and the two (2) qualified appraisers so appointed shall determine the Fair Market Rent within thirty (30) days following their appointment.  As used herein, the term “qualified appraiser” shall mean any independent person (a) who is employed by an appraisal or brokerage firm of recognized competence in the greater Boston area and (b) who has not less than ten (10) years’ experience in commercial office leasing with respect to, or in

 

D-1



 

appraising and valuing properties of, the general location, type and character as the Premises.  If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint a qualified appraiser within said thirty (30) day period, then the other party shall have the power to appoint the qualified appraiser for the defaulting party.  If said qualified appraisers are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent within said thirty (30) day period, then they jointly shall appoint a third qualified appraiser within ten (10) days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period.  If the first two appraisers shall fail to appoint a third appraiser within such ten (10) day period, either appraiser may request the President of the Boston Bar Association to appoint the third appraiser.  Within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third appraiser, all three qualified appraisers shall meet and determine the Fair Market Rent.  If all three qualified appraisers are unable unanimously to agree upon the Fair Market Rent, then the first two qualified appraisers simultaneously shall deliver their final Fair Market Rent numbers to the third qualified appraiser, and the third qualified appraiser shall select the number as the Fair Market Rent number that is closest to the Fair Market Rent number determined by the third appraiser, and the Fair Market Rent so selected shall be conclusive and binding upon the Landlord and Tenant.  Each party shall bear the cost of its qualified appraiser, and the cost of the third qualified appraiser shall be borne equally between the parties.  Until such time as the Fair Market Rent is so determined, from and after the commencement date of the Extension Term, Tenant shall pay Base Rent at the average of Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraisers’ designations of fair market rent, with an appropriate retroactive adjustment once the Fair Market Rent has been determined.

 

Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit D shall terminate if (1) this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Fifth Floor East Wing Premises is terminated, (2) Tenant assigns any of its interest in the Lease or sublets more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises, or (3) Tenant fails to timely exercise its option under this Exhibit, time being of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise thereof.
