(h) Right of First Offer. The Existing Lease is amended to delete Article 32 thereof in its entirety and substitute the following new Article 32 in place thereof:

ARTICLE 32.

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

A. Provided that this Lease is in full force and effect and that no default (as defined in Article 19) shall exist under this Lease (both at the time of the exercise of the right(s) described in this Article 32 and on the date of entry into the agreement incorporating the Offered Space [as hereinafter defined]), during the Lease Term, Tenant shall have the right (the “Right of First Offer”) to lease all or any portions of the second (2nd) and third (3rd) floors of the Building, excluding up to an aggregate of 5,000 rentable square feet of such third (3rd) floor which may be leased or licensed by Landlord for an exercise facility and/or property management office (collectively, the “ROFO Space”), on each occasion during the Lease Term that such ROFO Space “becomes available.” For purposes of this Article 32, ROFO Space shall be deemed to “become available” when the lease or other occupancy agreement for the current occupant of such ROFO Space expires or is otherwise terminated.

B. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Article 32 to the contrary, ROFO Space shall not be deemed to “become available” if such ROFO Space is (i) re-leased by the current tenant of the ROFO Space by renewal, extension, or renegotiation (whether or not an express renewal option is afforded to such tenant under the terms of its lease), (ii) assigned or subleased by an existing tenant of the ROFO Space, (iii) occupied by an existing tenant of the ROFO Space on a hold-over basis, (iv) subject to the expansion right of F & R under the F & R Lease (as defined below), or leased by F & R by exercise of F & R’s expansion right under the F & R Lease (Landlord hereby acknowledging that such expansion right is exercisable during the fifteenth (15th) year of the F & R Lease term), or (v) subject to rights of first offer of other tenants of the Building existing as of the date hereof, a description of which rights is set forth below:

 

  (x) Pursuant to that certain Office Lease dated as of September 10, 2009 (the “F & R Lease”) by and between Fallon Cornerstone One MPD LLC, as “Landlord”, and F & R, as “Tenant”, F & R has a superior right of first offer to lease space on the second (2nd) and third (3rd) floors of the Building, but only upon the expiration or termination of a lease or other occupancy agreement of an occupant of such space; and

 

  (y)

Pursuant to that certain Agreement of Rights to Lease Portions of One Marina Park Drive dated May 5, 2011 between Fallon Cornerstone One MPD LLC and Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (“Vertex”), Vertex has a superior right of first offer to lease space on the second (2nd) and third (3rd) floors of the Building

 

5


  upon certain fixed lease terms, including without limitation a rental rate substantially higher than Tenant’s base rental rate and a minimum term of ten (10) years, provided, however, that Vertex’s superior rights as to the second (2nd) and third (3rd) floors expire on December 31, 2014.

C. Subject to the foregoing, each time during the Lease Term that Landlord proposes to offer for lease all or any portion of the ROFO Space which will “become available,” Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written notice (the “First Offer Proposal”) containing the material terms of the proposed lease in respect of the applicable portion or portions of the available ROFO Space (such applicable portion or portions being referred to herein as the “Offered Space”), including (i) a floor plan of the Offered Space, (ii) annual base rent for the Offered Space, (iii) the proposed effective date of the lease for the Offered Space, and (iv) any other material terms which Landlord shall deem appropriate. Tenant shall have the option, exercisable by notice delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt or refusal of delivery of Landlord’s First Offer Proposal, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, to lease the Offered Space upon such terms and conditions as are contained in the First Offer Proposal. If Tenant timely delivers to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s exercise of the Right of First Offer for the Offered Space, then, within ten (10) business days thereafter, the parties shall enter into an amendment to this Lease incorporating the Offered Space as part of the Premises on the terms and conditions contained in the First Offer Proposal. If Tenant declines or fails to timely exercise its Right of First Offer, Landlord shall thereafter be free, for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the ten (10)-day exercise period, to lease the Offered Space to a third party tenant without regard to the restrictions contained in this Article 32 and on such terms and conditions as Landlord may decide in its sole discretion, so long as each material term (as hereinafter defined) of such third party lease is no more than eight percent (8%) more favorable to such third party tenant than each corresponding material term set forth in the applicable First Offer Proposal (on a line item basis). The following shall constitute “material terms” under this paragraph: (1) base rent, (2) term (including extension, renewal, expansion and early termination rights), (3) free rent (inside the term), (4) operating expenses, and (5) tenant improvement allowance. If no such third party lease for the Offered Space shall be concluded within said one hundred eighty (180) day period, then the provisions of this paragraph shall again be applicable to the Offered Space.

D. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord in connection with any such assignment or sublease, the Right of First Offer may only be assigned to a Permitted Transferee, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that no other assignee shall be permitted to exercise the Right of First Offer. In addition, the Right of First Offer shall become null and void upon the subletting by Tenant of (i) any portion of the Premises comprising more than one (1) full floor of the Building or the (ii) the portion of the Premises comprising the fourth (4th) floor of the Building, other than a subletting to a Permitted Transferee.

4. Delivery of Expansion Premises; Tl Allowance. On the Expansion Premises Commencement Date, Landlord shall deliver, and Tenant shall accept, the Expansion Premises in Base Building Condition, as described on Exhibit B-1 to the Lease. Following such delivery, Tenant shall be entitled to construct improvements in and to the Expansion Premises in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of Article 5 of, and Exhibit B to, the Existing Lease, including, without limitation, the provision permitting Tenant to install a communicating staircase between the Expansion Premises and the Existing Premises (collectively, “Tenant Expansion Premises Work”), except that (i) the amount of the TI Allowance with respect to the Expansion Premises shall be $55.00 per rentable square foot of the Expansion Premises and (ii) any provision of said Article 5 or Exhibit B that, from either the context or plain meaning, as applicable, would only apply to Tenant’s Work in respect of the Existing Premises (i.e., Tenant’s initial build-out of the Existing Premises), shall be deemed not to apply to Tenant’s Expansion Premises Work. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Landlord representation and warranty set forth in Article 5.A. of the Existing Lease shall apply with respect to the Expansion Premises.

5. Ratification of Lease; Effect of Amendment. The Existing Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed, and each and every provision, covenant, condition, obligation, right and power contained in and under, or existing in connection with the Existing Lease shall continue in full force and effect. This Amendment is not intended to, and shall not be construed to, effect a novation, and, except as expressly provided in this Amendment, the Existing Lease has not been modified, amended, canceled, terminated, surrendered, superseded or otherwise rendered of no force and effect. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that the Lease is enforceable against Tenant and Landlord in accordance with its terms. The Existing Lease and this Amendment shall be construed together as a single instrument.

6. Brokerage Commissions. Tenant and Landlord each represent to the other party that, except for CB Richard Ellis — N.E. Partners LP (“CBRE”), which is Landlord’s broker in connection with this Amendment, and T3 Advisors, LLC (“T3”), which is Tenant’s broker in connection with this Amendment, (i) it has not dealt with any real estate broker, salesperson or finder in connection with this Amendment, (ii) no person initiated or participated in the negotiation of this Amendment, and (iii) no person is entitled to any commission in connection herewith. Landlord shall pay CBRE and T3 their respective real estate commissions due in connection herewith pursuant to the terms of a separate brokerage agreement. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold each other and their respective employees harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, actions, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising from any claims of any kind which arises out of or is in any way connected with the other’s breach of the foregoing representation.
