(a)                                 Tenant’s Invitees are authorized to use Tenant’s Parking Allocation (as set forth in the Summary of Basic Terms).  Landlord represents to Tenant that Landlord has rights in Parking Garage A consistent with Tenant’s rights under this Section, as provided for in the Declaration.  Tenant shall pay to or at the direction of Landlord a monthly parking charge, in addition to Base Rent, for each parking space that Tenant is authorized to use based on the fair market charge for similar spaces in the market area of the Project, as determined and adjusted by Parking Garage A Owner from time to time.  Tenant shall not (i) permit any of Tenant’s Invitees (other than visitors) to park in spaces designated as “visitor” spaces, (ii) permit any of Tenant’s Invitees to park in spaces designated as “reserved” spaces (unless reserved for Tenant), (iii) permit the total number of passenger automobiles parked in Parking Garage A by Tenant’s Invitees, at any time, to exceed the number specified in Item 8 of the Summary of Basic Terms, (iv) permit any passenger vehicles of Tenant’s Invitees to park in any Parking Areas other than Parking Garage A, and (v) except for delivery trucks using designated loading and unloading facilities, permit any of Tenant’s Invitees to park any vehicle on the Project other than passenger automobiles.  Landlord and/or Other Landlords may, from time to time, designate one or more spaces in Parking Garage A as reserved for the exclusive use of one or more of the tenants of the Project and/or for Landlord’s and/or Other Landlords’ Invitees, so long as Landlord causes to be available to Tenant the parking required by this Section.

(a)                                 Tenant shall deliver to Landlord one-half of the $315,546.68 Security Deposit, or $157,773.34, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease, and shall deliver to Landlord the other one-half of the Security Deposit on or before March 1, 2014.  The Security Deposit shall be in the form of cash or a letter of credit which satisfies the conditions of Section 2.5(b) (“Letter of Credit”).  If the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, then the one-half of the Security Deposit to be made on or before March 1, 2014 shall be accomplished by (i) Tenant causing a Letter of Credit in the amount of $315,546.68 to be issued and delivered to Landlord, in which event Landlord shall return to Tenant within two Business Days thereafter the Letter of Credit in the amount of $157,773.34 delivered to Landlord upon the execution of this Lease, (ii) Tenant causing a second Letter of Credit in the amount of $157,773.34 to be issued and delivered to Landlord, or (iii) Tenant causing an amendment to the existing Letter of Credit to be issued so that the Letter of Credit, as amended, is in the amount of $315,546.68.

 

(b)                                 If the Security Deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit must satisfy all of the following conditions:  (i) the Letter of Credit must be in the exact form attached hereto as Exhibit E, or in such other form as Landlord may have approved, with an expiration date not less than one (1) year after the date of the Letter of Credit; (ii) the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit must be Landlord or Landlord’s designee; (iii) the Letter of Credit must be irrevocable, unconditional and transferable one or more times without charge; and (iv) the Letter of Credit must be issued by Silicon Valley Bank, Citizens Bank, or another bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  If, at any time, the issuer of the Letter of Credit gives notice of its election not to renew, extend and/or reissue the Letter of Credit, then Tenant shall, by the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days after such notice or (B) five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of the term of the Letter of Credit, deliver to Landlord (1) a replacement Letter of Credit satisfying all of the above conditions or (2) cash in the full amount of the expiring Letter of Credit; and if Tenant fails to timely deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit as provided above or cash in the full amount of the expiring Letter of Credit, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and, in addition to any other rights which Landlord might have by reason of such Event of Default, Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds of such drawing as the Security Deposit.  If (x) any proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, receivership or any insolvency law are instituted with the issuer of the Letter of Credit as debtor or (y) the bank issuing the Letter of Credit is taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Resolution Trust Corporation or a similar entity, then Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds of such drawing as part of the Security Deposit, unless Tenant either provides cash in lieu of the Letter of Credit or provides a new Letter of Credit issued by a bank reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

 

(c)                                  The Security Deposit is security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease and is not an advance payment of rent.  If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for payment of any Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, including, but not limited to, any damage or deficiency accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by Landlord, including the costs of such proceeding or re-entry and further including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.  Landlord

 

13



 

shall always have the right to apply the Security Deposit, or any part thereof, as aforesaid, without prejudice to any other remedy or remedies which Landlord may have, or Landlord may pursue any other such remedy or remedies in lieu of applying the Security Deposit or any part thereof.  No interest shall be payable on the Security Deposit and Landlord shall have the right to commingle the Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord, but Landlord shall keep the Security Deposit free from the claims of Landlord’s creditors.  If Landlord shall apply the Security Deposit in whole or in part, Tenant shaft within ten (10) days after written demand pay to Landlord the amount so applied to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.  Because elements of Additional Rent may be subject to annual reconciliation based on actual amounts determined to be due, in addition to the other rights provided herein to Landlord regarding the Security Deposit, Landlord shall have the right, in its discretion, upon the end of the Lease and delivery of the Premises in accordance with the terms hereof, to hold a portion of the Security Deposit equal to no more than twenty percent (20%) of any estimated amounts previously payable by Tenant in respect of Additional Rent for the preceding year until completion of such reconciliation (but in no event more than ninety (90) days after expiration of the Lease Term), at which time Landlord has the right to deduct any amounts then determined to be due from the remaining Security Deposit and return promptly thereafter any balance of the Security Deposit to Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord may not withhold from the Security Deposit an amount greater than the amount which Landlord reasonably estimates will be owing by Tenant upon completion of such reconciliation.  The portion of the Security Deposit held by Landlord that is not subject to the foregoing reconciliation shall be returned to Tenant not later than sixty (60) days following the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.  If the remaining Security Deposit is not sufficient to pay Tenant’s obligations hereunder, Tenant shall pay the same within thirty (30) days of billing from Landlord.  In the event of a sale or other transfer of the Project, or leasing of the entire Project including the Premises subject to Tenant’s tenancy hereunder,  Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit then remaining at no additional cost to Tenant to the vendee or lessee, such vendee or lessee shall thereupon become entitled to the rights and subject to the obligations of the landlord under this Lease (including the obligations with respect to the Security Deposit), and Landlord shall thereupon be released from all liability for the return of such Security Deposit to Tenant.  In such event, Landlord shall cause the transferee of the Security Deposit to issue a written acknowledgement of receipt thereof and Tenant agrees after receipt of such notice to look solely to the new landlord for the return of the Security Deposit then remaining.  Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to assign or encumber the Security Deposit and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

 

Section 2.6                          Lease Amendment.  If, pursuant to any provision of this Lease, there results a change in any of the terms or amounts in the Summary of Basic Terms (including, without limitation, the Leasable Square Footage of the Premises, the Leasable Square Footage of the Building, the Leasable Square Footage of the Project, the Allowance, the Base Rent, Tenant’s Building Share or Tenant’s Project Share) then in effect, Landlord and Tenant will promptly execute a written amendment to, and restatement of, the Summary of Basic Terms, substituting the changed (or confirmed) terms and recomputed amounts in lieu of each of the applicable terms and amounts then in effect which have been changed.  As of the effective date of the amendment to the Summary of Basic Terms, the changed terms (and recomputed amounts) will be effective for all purposes of this Lease, and the amended and restated Summary of Basic Terms will be a part of, and incorporated into, this Lease.

 

Section 2.7                          Pre-Term Occupancy.  As of the date of this Lease, the Premises are leased by Landlord to FoldRx under the FoldRx Lease.  Tenant intends to occupy the Premises as a subtenant under the Genocea Sublease.  The FoldRx Lease (and the Genocea Sublease) will expire on February 28, 2014, and the Lease Term will commence immediately upon such expiration, on March 1, 2014.  If the FoldRx Lease (and therefore the Genocea Sublease) should terminate prior to February 28, 2014 for any reason other than a default by Tenant under the Genocea Sublease, then Tenant may continue to occupy the

 

14



 

Premises from the effective date of such termination through February 28, 2014, provided that such occupancy shall be on and subject to the terms and conditions of the FoldRx Lease (assuming that the FoldRx Lease had not terminated), including but not limited to the Base Rent and Additional Rent provided for in the FoldRx Lease.

sole purpose of preventing a subrogation claim against Landlord.  If Tenant is a self-insurer, in whole or in part, Landlord shall be entitled to the same benefits it would have enjoyed had insurance covering the loss in full with a waiver of subrogation clause been in effect, or as if the Landlord has been named on insurance covering the loss in full as an additional insured for the purpose of preventing a subrogation claim.

 

Section 7.9                          Exoneration, Indemnification, Hold Harmless and Insurance.  Tenant will exonerate, indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless Landlord (and any and all Persons claiming by, through or under Landlord) from and against all claims, proceedings, defenses thereof, liabilities, costs, and expenses of any kind and nature, including reasonable legal fees, arising from: (i) any breach of this Lease by Tenant or any of Tenant’s Invitees or other Person claiming by, through or under Tenant, and/or (ii) any misconduct or negligence of any of Tenant’s Invitees, or arising from any accident, injury or damage occurring in, on or about the Project, which such accident, damage or injury results from the negligence or misconduct on the part of any of Tenant’s Invitees.  This exoneration, indemnification and hold harmless agreement shall survive the termination of this Lease.

 

During the Lease Term and any period of holding over, Tenant shall maintain in full force and effect a policy of commercial general liability insurance under which Landlord (and its designees) and Landlord’s mortgagee(s) are named as additional insureds.  Such insurance policy shall be non-cancelable with respect to Landlord without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord (to the extent that such a provision is then generally available in insurance policies), and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to commencement of the Lease Term and thereafter at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any then effective coverage a satisfactory written certificate of insurance coverages or the renewal or replacement of such coverages.  The minimum limits of liability of such insurance shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined single limits for bodily injury and property damage, each occurrence, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) limits for personal injury, together with an overall umbrella coverage of an additional Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00).  Tenant shall not permit any contractor to do any work at or furnish any materials to be incorporated into the Premises without first delivering to Landlord satisfactory evidence of the Contractor’s commercial general liability insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, automobile insurance and, if required by Landlord’s lender, statutory lien bonds, each reasonably acceptable to Landlord and complying with any insurance specifications provided by Landlord.  All insurance requirements imposed upon Tenant or its contractors under this Lease shall be subject to the further requirement that the forms of coverage and the insurers providing the insurance be licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, be in sound financial condition, carry an A- or better Best’s rating.  and be reasonably acceptable to Landlord.  Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant, or to those Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of Persons occupying or using adjoining premises or any part of the Project, or otherwise, or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or those Persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, or its or their property, except that the foregoing shall not exculpate the Landlord from acts of its own negligence.

 

Section 7.10                   Landlord’s Access.  Landlord and its representatives shall have the right without charge to it and without reduction in Base Rent or Additional Rent, upon reasonable notice (which shall be at least 24 hours’ notice, except in case of an emergency), at reasonable times and in such manner as shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business, to enter the Premises for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, tenants (during the last year of the Lease Term) and lenders and investigating repair or maintenance problems and to make such repairs or changes as Landlord deems advisable, and to maintain, use, repair, replace, relocate or introduce pipes, ducts, wires, meters and any other Landlord’s fixtures serving or to serve the Premises or other parts of the Project (which shall be installed above ceilings, behind walls, or in other areas which do not interfere with Tenant’s business), or to maintain or repair any portion of the Project, and, in case of an emergency, whether resulting from

 

25



 

circumstances in the Premises or elsewhere on the Project, Landlord or its representatives may enter the Premises (forcibly, if necessary) at any time to take such measures as may be needed to cope with such emergency.  Such access shall include, but not be limited to, the right to open floors, walls, ceilings, and building systems for the foregoing purposes provided that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of time it requires access to the Premises in connection with maintenance, repairs or changes as aforesaid.  Landlord shall repair all such portions of the Premises as may be damaged due to Landlord’s entry as provided herein.  Other than where impractical in case of an emergency, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable opportunity to have a Tenant’s representative accompany Landlord during any access to the Premises by Landlord pursuant to this Section.  In the event that any such repairs, work or other activities undertaken as herein provided interferes with Tenant’s operations to such a material extent (in the exercise of Tenant’s reasonable business judgment) that Tenant ceases its operations at the Premises for a period in excess of two (2) consecutive Business Days, all rental obligations and other charges thereafter shall be equitably adjusted for so long as such interference continues.

 

Section 7.11                   No Liens.  Tenant shall not permit any mechanics’, laborers’ or materialmen’s liens to stand against the Project or Tenant’s interests in the Premises, this Lease, or the estate created hereby for any labor or materials furnished to Tenant or claimed to have been furnished to Tenant in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed in or on the Premises by or at the direction or sufferance of Tenant, unless such lien is bonded over to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction.  Landlord may condition the right of Tenant to do any work which could result in a lien upon the Project or Tenant’s interests in the Premises, this Lease, or the estate created hereby on the delivery and recording of statutory lien bonds (if required by Landlord’s lender) or indemnities satisfactory to Landlord.

 

Section 7.12                   Compliance with Rules and Regulations.  Tenant covenants that all of its Invitees will comply with the Rules and Regulations and all other reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time hereafter promulgate to regulate the conduct generally of all the tenants of the Building.  Landlord, however, shall have the reasonable right to change the Rules and Regulations and to waive any one or more of them in the case of any one or more tenants.  Landlord shall enforce the Rules and Regulations, if at all, in a non-discriminatory manner.

 

Section 7.13                   Further Construction.  Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to construct an expansion or additional phase of the Building (an “Addition”).  If Landlord elects to construct an Addition, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in connection with Landlord’s plans to construct the Addition and the construction of the Addition, and neither Tenant nor any of its Invitees shall take any action which will interfere with such plans or construction unless the same results in a breach of this Lease by Landlord.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant agrees to provide (at no cost to Tenant) such assistance and cooperation as Landlord may request, from time to time, in order for Landlord to timely obtain all licenses, permits, approvals and certificates of occupancy as may be necessary and/or appropriate in connection with an Addition.  Landlord shall plan the construction of any Addition and related staging in a manner reasonable under the circumstances to minimize any material interference with Tenant’s access to and/or use of the Premises during the performance of such construction, which planning shall include reasonable advance written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s construction activities which are likely to disturb Tenant’s ongoing experiments or lab work in the Premises to facilitate the taking of protective steps by Tenant, and Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such construction work, once undertaken, minimizes any material interference with Tenant’s access to and/or use of the Premises.  Tenant acknowledges that, from time to time, dust, noise, vibrations and interruptions to power and other utilities (including water and sewer) and/or inability to maintain the temperature in the Building at customary levels may, among other construction-related interference, occur on a temporary basis (not to exceed more than two (2)

 

26


 

consecutive business days) in connection with the construction of an Addition.  Tenant is responsible to safeguard, insure and protect adequately its property (including any sensitive electronic equipment and computers) during the construction process and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage or loss suffered by Tenant as a result of Landlord’s construction activities provided that they are undertaken in a manner consistent with this Section.  Tenant shall notify Landlord if any such construction-related interference should occur.  Upon receipt of written notice from Tenant, Landlord shall undertake those measures reasonable under the circumstances to minimize any material interference with Tenant’s access and/or use of the Premises during the performance of any such construction by Landlord.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any such work or other activities undertaken as herein provided interferes with Tenant’s operations to such a material extent (in the exercise of Tenant’s reasonable business judgment) that Tenant ceases its operations at the Premises for a period in excess of two (2) consecutive Business Days, all rental obligations and other charges thereafter shall be equitably abated for so long as such interference continues.  In no event shall Tenant be required to relocate its operations to other premises as a result of any Addition.

 

ARTICLE VIII
SUBLETTING AND ASSIGNMENT

 

Section 8.1                          Subletting and Assignment.

 

(a)                                 Except as hereinafter set forth, Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease nor sublet all or any part of the Premises, nor permit or allow the use of all or any part of the Premises by third party users, such as concessionaires, without, on each occasion, obtaining Landlord’s written consent thereto.  However, Landlord understands that Tenant intends to have third parties manage and operate the vivarium and the chip tank within the Premises, and occupancy of portions of the Premises by such third parties shall not be considered a sublease or other agreement for which Landlord’s consent is required pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.  Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to any assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises under the circumstance described in Section 8.1(b)(i), and Landlord will consent to the sublease or all or a portion of the Premises, or the assignment of this Lease, to a Permitted Transferee under the circumstances described in Section 8.1(b)(ii); otherwise, the consent of Landlord to an assignment, sublease or other transaction covered by this Section 8.1(a) will be within Landlord’s sole discretion.  As used herein, the term “assign” or “assignment” shall be deemed to include, without limitation: (i) any transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease by operation of law or the merger or consolidation of Tenant with or into any other firm or corporation, or (ii) the transfer or sale of a controlling interest in Tenant (whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions), and whether by sale of its capital stock or otherwise, other than by reason of a sale of a portion of the capital stock of Tenant to raise capital (including any IPO) which does not result in a change in the day-to-day control of Tenant.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     Landlord will not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent to any assignment of this Lease or any sublease of all or any part of the Premises, so long as (A) the assignment or sublease will not violate the terms of the Declaration; (B) the assignee or subtenant and its proposed use is of a character consistent with the Project; (C) the assignee’s or subtenant’s proposed use is permitted under the terms of this Lease; (D) the assignee or subtenant is qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; (E) Tenant pays to Landlord all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses arising out of such assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $3,000); (F) there does not then exist an Event of Default; (G) each of Landlord’s mortgagees has consented in writing to such assignment or sublease if such mortgagee’s consent is required pursuant to the terms of the applicable financing documents; (H) if a sublease, there are not more than a total of three (3) subtenants, including the proposed subtenant under the proposed sublease, in occupancy of the

 

27



 

Premises or portions thereof; and (I) if a sublease, the proposed sublease prohibits any assignment of the sublease or any sub-sublease of any portion of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord.

 

(ii)                                  Landlord will consent to a sublease of all or any portion of the Premises, or an assignment of this Lease, to a Permitted Transferee, so long as (1) the subtenant or assignee is qualified to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; (2) Tenant pays to Landlord all of Landlord’s reasonable expenses arising out of such sublease or assignment, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $3,000); and (3) there does not then exist an Event of Default and no Event of Default will be created as a result of the proposed sublease or assignment or the proposed use by the subtenant or assignee.

 

(c)                                  In the event of any permitted assignment of this Lease or sublease of all or any part of the Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall be jointly and severally liable with the new tenant for the payment of any and all Base Rent and Additional Rent which may become due by the terms of this Lease and for the performance of all covenants, agreements and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed hereunder.  Tenant shall also pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any rent received as a result of the assignment or sublease which exceeds the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder on a per square foot basis, after taking into account the costs of the assignment or sublease, including without limitation broker fees, attorneys’ fees, free rent concessions and build out costs, amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining Lease Term.  No such assignment or sublease shall be valid or effective unless and until (i) the new tenant and Tenant execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, pursuant to which inter alia, such new tenant (A) in the case of an assignment, assumes all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, (B) if a sublease, agrees to execute and deliver such estoppel certificates and subordination agreements in the same forms as Landlord may require of Tenant under this Lease, (C) if a sublease, acknowledges that Landlord has no obligations to new tenant under this Lease, the sublease or otherwise and (D) agrees to maintain the same insurance coverages as the insurance coverages which Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease and to provide evidence thereof to Landlord in accordance with the terms of this Lease; and (ii) the new tenant delivers to Landlord evidence of the insurance coverages required to be maintained by such new tenant under the agreement referenced in clause (i) above.  No modification of the terms of this Lease or any course of dealing between Landlord and any assignee or sublessee of Tenant’s interest herein shall operate to release or impair Tenant’s obligations hereunder.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VIII or other provisions of this Lease, in the event that Tenant seeks Landlord’s consent to an assignment of this Lease, other than to a Permitted Transferee, or a sublease of fifty percent (50%) or more of the Premises, Landlord, at its option and within ten (10) business days following receipt of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent, may terminate this Lease (or if the request is for a sublease of less than all of the Premises, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may terminate this Lease as to the portion requested to be sublet and Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease to modify the Premises and to adjust Base Rent and Tenant’s Share based upon the approximate remaining leasable square footage to the Leasable Square Footage of the Building and the Project).  In such an event, Landlord may enter into a new lease with the proposed assignee or sublessee or any other party on any terms and provisions acceptable to Landlord in Landlord’s sole discretion for the Premises or the portion of the Premises released from this Lease.  Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 8.1(d) to the contrary, if Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease in whole or in part under this Section 8.1(d), Tenant may, by written notice given to Landlord within five (5) Business Days after Landlord exercises such option, withdraw Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to the subject assignment or sublease, in which event this Lease shall not terminate.

 

28



 

(e)                                  Tenant shall not enter into any arrangements with any subtenant or assignee to circumvent, or which have the effect of circumventing, (i) Tenant obligation to share rents received from a sublease or assignment or (ii) any other provisions of this Article VIII.

 

ARTICLE IX
RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES AND GROUND LESSORS; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

 

Section 9.1                          Subordination to Mortgages and Ground Leases.  Tenant agrees that this Lease is and shall be and remain subordinate to the lien of any present or future mortgage or mortgages, or ground lease, upon the Project, irrespective of the time of execution or time of recording of any such mortgage or mortgages, or ground lease, and to all renewals, extensions, and modifications therefor or amendments thereto; provided, however, that as a condition to such subordination to any present or future mortgage or ground lease, the mortgagee or ground lessor must agree in writing not to disturb Tenant’s possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease so long as no Event of Default exists.  Tenant agrees that it will, upon ten (10) Business Days’ advance written request from Landlord or any holder of a mortgage on all or a portion of the Project or the ground lessor thereof, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all commercially reasonable instruments reasonably deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord, or such holder to give effect to, or notice of, such subordination, provided that such subordination includes a non-disturbance agreement for the benefit of Tenant on commercially reasonable terms and conditions specified by the mortgagee or ground lessor.  Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, Tenant shall, contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, (a) enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement with Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Limited in mutually agreed form, and (b) enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement with Ground Lessor in mutually agreed form.

 

Section 9.2                          Lease Superior at Mortgagee’s or Ground Lessor’s Election.  At the request in writing of any mortgagee, or ground lessor, of the Project, this Lease shall be deemed superior to such mortgage, or ground lease, whether this Lease was executed before or after such mortgage, or ground lease, and Tenant shall execute such commercially reasonable documents to effect the foregoing in recordable form as such mortgagee, or ground lessor, shall request.

 

Section 9.3                          Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Lessor.  Upon receipt of a written request from Landlord or any holder of a mortgage, on all or any part of the Project, or the ground lessor thereof, Tenant will thereafter send any such holder copies of all notices (including, but not limited to, notices of default or termination) given by Tenant to Landlord in accordance with any provision of this Lease.  In the event of any failure by Landlord to perform, fulfill or observe any agreement by Landlord herein or any breach by Landlord of any representation or warranty of Landlord herein, any such holder may at its election cure such failure or breach for and on behalf of Landlord within the same period of time provided herein for Landlord to cure the same or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to cure the default.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Section and any similar provision in a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into by Tenant and any mortgagee or ground lessor, the provisions of the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement shall be controlling.

 

Section 9.4                          Limitations on Obligations of Mortgagees, Ground Lessors and Successors.  Tenant agrees that the holder of a mortgage or ground lease or any successor-in-interest to any of them or to Landlord shall not be (a) bound by any payment of an installment of Base Rent or Additional Rent which may have been made more than thirty (30) days before the due date of such installment, (b) bound by any amendment or modification to this Lease made without the consent of the holder of a mortgage or ground lease or such successor in interest; (c) liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord (or its predecessors in interest) except for any obligations of Landlord to perform maintenance or repairs of a

 

29



 

continuing nature the need for which first arises prior to the time that such holder succeeds to Landlord’s interest under the Lease and which continues after such holder succeeds to Landlord’s interest under this Lease; (d) responsible for any monies owing by Landlord to the credit of Tenant or subject to any credits, offsets, claims, counterclaims, demands or defenses which Tenant may have against Landlord (or any of its predecessors in interest); (e) bound by any covenant to undertake or complete any construction of the Premises or any portion thereof; or (f) obligated to make any payment to Tenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to holder of a mortgage or ground lease or such successor in interest.  Further, Tenant agrees that it will not seek to terminate this Lease by reason of any act or omission of Landlord until Tenant shall have given written notice of such act or omission to the holder of such mortgage or ground lease (at such holder’s last address furnished to Tenant) and following the giving of such notice such holder shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to remedy such act or omission within the same time period provided for in this Lease for Landlord to cure the same or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to cure the same.  In the event of any inconsistency between this Section and any similar provision in a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement entered into by Tenant and any mortgagee or ground lessor, the provisions of the Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement shall be controlling.

 

Section 9.5                          Estoppel Certificate By Tenant.  Tenant agrees, at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) Business Days after written request by Landlord or any holder of a mortgage on all or a portion of the Project or the ground lessor thereof, (a) to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying that (except as may be otherwise specified by Tenant): (i) this Lease is presently in full force and effect and unmodified; (ii) Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises; (iii) any improvements required by the terms of this Lease to be made by Landlord have been completed to the satisfaction of Tenant; (iv) no rent under this Lease has been paid more than thirty (30) days in advance of its due date; (v) the addresses for notices to be sent to Tenant is as set forth in this Lease or as specified in such certificate; (vi) Tenant as of the date of executing the certificate has no charge, lien or claim of offset under this Lease, or otherwise, against rents or other charges due or to become due hereunder; (vii) Tenant is not in default under this Lease; (viii) to the best of Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord is not in default of this Lease; and (ix) such other information as Landlord may reasonably request about this Lease or Tenant’s occupancy; and (b) to deliver information in form satisfactory to Landlord and such holder or ground lessor concerning Tenant’s operations as may be found in Tenant’s then-most-recent annual audited financial statement, but only if such recipients agree in writing to keep such information confidential.

 

Section 9.6                          Amendment of Declaration.  Tenant agrees that the Declaration may be amended from time to time without the consent of Tenant, so long as such amendment does not materially adversely affect the use and enjoyment of the Premises by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, materially increase Tenant’s obligations in respect of Additional Rent, or further restrict Tenant’s ability to sublease or assign this Lease.  All references herein to the Declaration shall be references to the Declaration as amended from time to time.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with copies of any future amendments of the Declaration.

 

ARTICLE X
CASUALTY

 

Section 10.1                   Damage From Casualty.

 

(a)                                 If any portion of the Premises or the Building affecting Tenant’s use of the Premises is damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such casualty promptly after Tenant becomes aware of such casualty.  Within sixty (60) days after Tenant gives Landlord written notice of such casualty or Landlord otherwise becomes aware of such casualty, Landlord

 

30



 

shall reasonably estimate, and give Tenant written notice of, the period commencing with the date of such notice (the “Restoration Period”) that Landlord anticipates will be reasonably required to perform the restoration work which is the responsibility of Landlord as provided below.  If Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be longer than one year (or if less than one year, longer than the remaining Lease Term), then either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving to the other written notice of termination within ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such estimate.  Such notice of termination shall be effective on the date thereof, and if Tenant is then occupying the Premises, Tenant shall thereafter have a reasonable period of time in which to vacate the Premises.  If (i) Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be one year or shorter, or (ii) Landlord reasonably estimates that the Restoration Period will be longer than one year but neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease as set forth above, then this Lease shall not terminate; and in such event, Landlord shall, unless Landlord exercises its termination right pursuant to Section 103, with reasonable dispatch, repair or rebuild so much of the Premises (and Building, as applicable) as were originally constructed by Landlord (or its predecessor) to substantially their condition immediately prior to the casualty (subject, however, to Legal Requirements then in existence), and Tenant shall concurrently (to the extent practical and consistent with good construction practices) (i) repair and restore so much of the Premises as were constructed by Tenant or are the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease and (ii) repair and restore its fixtures and personal property (but only to the extent of the proceeds of insurance carried or required by this Lease to be carried by Tenant).

 

(b)                                 If, pursuant to Section 10.1(a), Landlord is required to restore the Premises (and Building, as applicable) and Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration by the end of the Restoration Period (subject to extension for delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord), then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.  If Landlord fails to substantially complete such restoration work within such thirty (30) day period, then this Lease shall terminate as of such thirtieth (30th) day.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 10.1 to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to commence repair or restoration work prior to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds, nor shall Landlord be required to expend sums in excess of “net recovered insurance proceeds”.  The term “net recovered insurance proceeds” shall mean the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by Landlord, less the cost of obtaining the same (including attorneys’ fees and appraisal fees) and less the amount thereof required to be paid to a mortgagee or ground lessor.

 

Section 10.2                   Abatement of Rent.  In the event that the provisions of Section 10.1 shall become applicable, the Base Rent, Tenant’s Project Share of Taxes and Project Operating Costs, and Tenant’s Building Share of Building Operating Costs shall be abated or reduced proportionately for the period in which, by reason of any such damage or destruction, there is substantial interference with the operation of the business of Tenant in the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue its business in the Premises, and such abatement or reduction shall continue (but may be adjusted from time to time based on the extent of the interference with Tenant’s operations) for the period commencing with such destruction or damage and ending with the substantial completion by Landlord of such work, repair and/or reconstruction as Landlord is obligated to do if it does not otherwise terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article X.

 

Section 10.3                   Landlord’s Right to Terminate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may terminate this Lease following:  (a) damage or destruction to the Premises to the extent of thirty (30%) or more of the cost of replacement thereof; or (b) the refusal of the applicable insurance carrier to pay funds sufficient for the cost to repair or replace or the refusal of any applicable mortgagee or ground lessor to release the insurance proceeds for such purposes.  Landlord may exercise the right to so terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after the date of the damage or sixty (60)

 

31



 

days after the date Landlord receives written notice of such damage, whichever is later.  Such notice of termination shall be effective on the date thereof.

 

ARTICLE XI
EMINENT DOMAIN

 

Section 11.1                   Eminent Domain; Right to Terminate and Abatement in Rent.  If the Premises or any part thereof, or the whole or any substantial part of the Building, shall be taken, or if a conveyance shall be made in anticipation thereof, for any street or other public use, by action of the municipal, state, federal or other authorities, or shall receive any substantial direct or consequential damage for which Landlord or Tenant shall be entitled to compensation by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of any public authority, after the execution hereof and before the expiration of the Lease Term, then this Lease and the Lease Term shall terminate at the election of either party (given by written notice to the other party within ninety (90) days of the taking or within ninety (90) days of notice of the taking to Landlord), and such election may be made in case of any such taking notwithstanding the entire interest of Landlord may have been divested by such taking, and if neither party so elects, then in case of any such taking or destruction of, or damage to, the Premises, rendering the same or any part thereof unfit for use and occupation, a just proportion of the Base Rent and Additional Rent according to the nature and extent of the injury sustained by the Premises as determined by Landlord, shall be suspended or abated until the Premises or, in case of such taking, what may remain thereof, shall have been put in proper condition for use and occupation.  To the extent that the Premises, upon having been put in proper condition for use and occupation are smaller, the Base Rent shall be reduced for the balance of the Lease Term in the same proportion which the reduction in space bears to the original Leasable Square Footage of the Premises.  In the event of a taking of any portion of the Building, Tenant’s Share shall be recomputed.

 

Section 11.2                   Restoration.  If this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 11.1, Landlord shall apply so much of the available proceeds of the eminent domain award as are required to restore the Project and the Premises to a condition, to the extent practical, substantially the same as that immediately preceding the taking, but subject to zoning laws and building codes then in existence.  If the available proceeds of the eminent domain award are insufficient, in Landlord’s judgment, for that purpose, Landlord shall have no obligation to expend funds in excess of said proceeds and Landlord shall have the right to select which portions of the Project, if any, shall be restored; provided that if Landlord does not elect to restore the Premises, then Tenant may exercise its termination rights as aforesaid.  The term “available proceeds” shall mean the amount of the award paid to Landlord, less cost of obtaining the same (including attorneys’ fees and appraisal fees) and less the amount thereof required to be paid to a mortgagee or ground lessor.  In the event Landlord fails to commence restoration of the Project and/or the Premises within sixty (60) days after the taking and diligently prosecute the same to completion, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Landlord.

 

Section 11.3                   Landlord to Control Eminent Domain Action.  Landlord reserves all rights to compensation for damage to the Premises or any part thereof, or the leasehold hereby created, heretofore accrued or hereafter to accrue, by reason of any taking for public use of the Premises or any portion thereof, or right appurtenant thereto, or privilege or easement in, through, under or over the same, and by way of confirmation of the foregoing Tenant hereby assigns all rights to such damages heretofore accrued or hereafter accruing during the Lease Term to Landlord.  Provided, however, nothing herein contained shall limit Tenant’s right to any separate award for the taking of personal property, moving and other relocation expenses, or other items the payment of which shall not reduce the award payable to Landlord.

Section 12.1                   Event of Default.  As used herein, “Event of Default” shall mean the occurrence and/or existence of any one or more of the following:  (a)(i) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other amount due under this Lease on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for five (5) days after written notice from Landlord thereof or (ii) Landlord having given the notice specified in the foregoing clause (a)(i) to Tenant twice in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall fail, on a third occasion within the twelve (12) months following the giving of the first such notice by Landlord, to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other amount due under this Lease on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable; or (b) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the other covenants or undertakings herein on its part to be performed or observed and such neglect or failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant; provided, however, that if the default is other than a default under clause (a) above, or clauses (c) through (i) below, and is such that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, but is capable of being cured, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended by up to sixty (60) additional days provided that Tenant commences to cure such default within said thirty (30) day period, continues to do so diligently, and thereafter completes such cure within not more than ninety (90) days following the notice of default; or (c) there is filed by Tenant any case, petition, proceeding or other action under any Bankruptcy Law; or (d) any other proceedings shall be instituted against Tenant under any Bankruptcy Law and not be dismissed within sixty (60) days; or (e) Tenant shall execute an assignment of its property for the benefit of its creditors; or (f) a receiver, custodian or other similar officer for Tenant shall be appointed and not be discharged within sixty (60) days; or (g) the estate hereby created shall be taken by execution or by other process of law and is not redeemed by Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter; or (h) an assignment or sublease in violation of the terms of this Lease; or (i) any other event constituting an Event of Default under other Sections of this Lease.

 

Section 12.2                   Landlord’s Remedies.

 

(a)                                 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord may, immediately or at any time thereafter (notwithstanding any license or waiver of any former breach or waiver of the benefit hereof, or consent in a former instance), and without further demand or notice, in person or by agent or attorney, enter the Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same as of its former estate, or terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant, and in either event expel Tenant and those claiming through or under it and remove their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass and without prejudice to any remedy which might otherwise be used for arrears of Base Rent or Additional Rent or breach of covenant, and upon entry or written notice of termination, or automatic termination, both as aforesaid, this Lease shall terminate and Landlord, in addition to all other remedies which it may have at law or equity, and not in limitation thereof, shall have the remedies provided in this Article XII.

 

(b)                                 If, pursuant to Section 12.2(a), Landlord terminates Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the remainder of the Lease Term the Base Rent and Additional Rent in installments as and when the same become due and payable, subject to reduction by any rent actually received by Landlord as a result of a re-letting of the Premises (net of the reasonable and customary costs of re-letting, including remodeling costs, brokerage commissions and attorneys’ fees).  Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises to mitigate damages, and Landlord may re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise for a term or terms which may, at Landlord’s option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and may grant concessions or free rent.  The good faith failure of Landlord to re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, or, if the Premises are re-let, the good faith failure to collect the rents due under such re-letting,

 

33



 

shall not release or affect Tenant’s liability for damage so long as Landlord does not act arbitrarily or capriciously.  Any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month or other period shall not prejudice in any way the right of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month or period by a similar proceeding.  Landlord, at Landlord’s option, may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and decorations on the Premises as Landlord in Landlord’s sole but reasonable judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the Premises, and the making of such alterations or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder.

 

(c)                                  If, pursuant to Section 12.2(a), Landlord terminates this Lease, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord as damages, in addition to all sums which were due prior to the date of such termination, a sum equal to the amount by which the Base Rent and Additional Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term exceeds the fair rental value of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term, discounted to present value using a then market rate of interest as reasonably determined by Landlord.  For the purposes of computing damages payable pursuant to this Section 12.2(c), the Additional Rent with respect to Taxes, Insurance Costs and Operating Costs for the remainder of the Lease Term will be assumed to be the product of such Additional Rent for the most recently ended fiscal, calendar or lease year, as the case may be, times the number of years remaining of the Lease Term.

 

(d)                                 Tenant will be responsible to Landlord for all expenses which Landlord may incur in connection with the enforcement of Landlord’s rights after an Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, brokerage fees, and the cost of putting the Premises in good order or preparing the same for rental.

 

(e)                                  Tenant shall not be liable for consequential damages under this Lease, except such as arise from a holdover by Tenant.  No Person executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant, nor any officer, director or employee of Tenant, shall have any personal liability hereunder.

 

Section 12.3                   Reimbursement of Landlord.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Tenant will, in addition to paying Landlord all amounts due under the terms and provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, Section 12.9, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in collecting such rent or in obtaining possession of, or in re-letting the Premises, or in defending any action, including expenses for reasonable counsel fees and commissions.  Tenant further agrees that, if on termination of this Lease by expiration or otherwise, Tenant shall fail to remove any of its property from the Premises as provided for herein, Landlord shall be authorized, in its sole option, and in Tenant’s name and on its behalf, either (a) to cause such property to be removed and placed in storage for the account and at the expense of Tenant; or (b) to sell such property at public or private sale, with or without notice, and to apply the proceeds thereof, after the payment of all expenses of removal, storage and sale, to the indebtedness, if any, of Tenant to Landlord, the surplus, if any, to be paid to Tenant.  All sums payable by Tenant under this Article XII shall be deemed Additional Rent.

 

Section 12.4                   Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants.  Tenant covenants and agrees that, if it shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, Landlord, in its sole discretion may after due notice to, or demand upon, Tenant, make any payment or perform any other act on the part of Tenant to be made and performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees.  The making of any such payment or the performing of any other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained.  All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on

 

34



 

demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent.  Whenever practicable, Landlord, before proceeding as provided in this Section, shall give Tenant notice in writing of the failure of Tenant which Landlord proposes to remedy, and shall allow Tenant such length of time as may be reasonable in the circumstances, consistent with any grace periods contained herein, but not exceeding ten (10) Business Days from the giving of notice, to remedy the failure itself and, if Tenant shall not remedy the failure in the time so allowed, Landlord shall be deemed to have given “due notice” and may proceed as provided in this Section; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from acting without notice to Tenant in case of any emergency wherein there is danger to property or person or where there may exist any violation of Legal Requirements including but not limited to the presence of Hazardous Materials, in which event no notice shall be required.

 

Section 12.5                   Cumulative Remedies.  The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease, or under the provisions of applicable law, are cumulative and not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease.  The failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more cases upon the strict performance of any of the covenants of this Lease or to exercise any option contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver or a relinquishment for the future of such covenant or option.  Receipt by Landlord of any Base Rent or Additional Rent payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenants hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.  No waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by it.  In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, landlord shall be entitled to restraint by injunction of any violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease.

 

Section 12.6                   Expenses of Enforcement.  Tenant agrees to pay all reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in enforcing any obligation or any remedies hereunder including, without limitation, in connection with collection of Base Rent or Additional Rent, recovery by Landlord of the Premises, or in any litigation in which Landlord shall become involved by reason of any act or negligence of any of Tenant’s Invitees or any breach of this Lease by Tenant.  Landlord agrees to pay all reasonable expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Tenant in enforcing any obligation or any remedies hereunder including any litigation in which Tenant shall become involved by reason of any act or negligence of Landlord or any breach of this Lease by Landlord.

 

Section 12.7                   Landlord’s Default.  Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder unless such default shall remain uncured for more than thirty (30) days following written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying the nature of such default, or such longer period as may be reasonably required to correct such default, provided that Landlord is diligently prosecuting such cure to completion.  In no event whatsoever shall Landlord be liable for consequential or any indirect damages.  The provisions of this Section are further subject to the provisions of Articles X and XI dealing with eminent domain and fire and other casualty, and Section 6.3 dealing with interruption of services.  If Landlord fails to cure any default by Landlord within the period provided above in this Section, Tenant may give Landlord an additional written notice confirming that the default has not been cured and that Tenant intends to cure such default, and, if Landlord fails to cure such default within ten (10) days after such notice, Tenant may, without waiving the default, take such steps as are reasonably appropriate to cure the default, recover from Landlord the reasonable cost of such cure, and, if Landlord concedes, or a court determines, Tenant’s right to recover such cost setoff such cost against the Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due.  In no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate this Lease by reason of a default by Landlord, except as expressly provided herein.

 

35



 

Section 12.8                   Limitation of Landlord’s Liability.  The obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be binding upon Landlord and each succeeding owner of Landlord’s interest hereunder only during the period of such ownership, and Landlord and each succeeding owner shall have no liability whatsoever except for its obligations during each such respective period.  Tenant hereby agrees for itself and each succeeding holder of Tenant’s interest, or any portion thereof, hereunder, that any judgment, decree or award for money damages obtained against Landlord or any succeeding owner of Landlord’s interest, which is in any manner related to this Lease, the Premises or Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises or the Common Areas, or the remainder of the Project, shall be satisfied out of Landlord’s equity in the land and buildings then comprising the Project to the extent then owned by Landlord and such succeeding owner, and further agrees to look only to such assets (or proceeds thereof or interest or profits therefrom) and to no other assets of Landlord, or such succeeding owner, for satisfaction.  Neither Landlord nor any Person executing this Lease on behalf of Landlord, nor any partner, limited or general, or any officer, director employee, member, trustee, beneficiary, or owner of Landlord, nor any subsequent Landlord, or any partner, limited or general, or any officer, director, employee, member, trustee, beneficiary, or owner of any subsequent Landlord shall have any personal liability hereunder.  The remedies provided to Tenant in this Lease are exclusive, and Landlord will not be liable under any theory of recovery, whether based on contract, tort or otherwise.

 

Section 12.9                   Late Payment and Administrative Expense.  If Tenant shall fail to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges after the same become due and payable under this Lease, such unpaid amounts shall bear interest from the due date thereof to the date of payment at the lesser of (a) a per annum rate equal to three percent (3%) plus the prime rate of Bank of America (or any successor) in effect on the day the payment became due and subject to change thereafter or (b) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law (“Interest Payment”).  In addition, if Landlord is required to redeposit any check which is returned for insufficient funds or if Tenant shall fail to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent or other charges on or before the date on which the same become due and payable, then Tenant shall also pay to Landlord an administrative expense charge (“Administrative Expense”) of five percent (5.0%) of the amount thereof for each calendar month or part thereof after the due date of such payment until such payment is received by Landlord.  The provisions herein for Interest Payment and Administrative Expense shall not be construed to relieve Tenant of the obligation to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent and all other charges when due under this Lease and shall be in addition to and not in limitation of Landlord’s other remedies as provided for in this Lease.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, during each calendar year of the Lease Term, Tenant shall be allowed one (1) grace period during which it shall not be required to pay the Interest Payment or the Administrative Expense provided it pays to Tenant all Base Rent and Additional Rent then due within five (5) days after written notice from Landlord.

 

ARTICLE XIII

Section 13.2                   Quiet Enjoyment.  Tenant shall, upon paying all Base Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder and observing and performing all of the terms, covenants and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed, peaceably and quietly have and hold the Premises without hindrance or molestation by any Person or Persons lawfully claiming by, through or under, Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease.

 

36


 

Section 13.3                   Tenant’s Request for Landlord’s Action.  In the event that at Tenant’s request Landlord takes any action which is not required of Landlord pursuant to this Lease, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements in connection with such action, with payment to be made by Tenant within thirty (30) days after billing therefor by Landlord.  Landlord will give Tenant a good faith estimate of such costs of any such action prior to commencing such action.

 

Section 13.4                   Notices.  Any notice, demand, request or statement required or intended to be given or delivered under the terms of this Lease shall be in writing, shall be addressed to the party to be notified at the address or addresses set forth in the Summary of Basic Terms or at such other address in the continental United States as each party may designate for itself from time to time by notice hereunder, and shall be deemed to have been given, delivered or served upon the earliest of (a) three (3) days following deposit in the U.S. Mail, with proper postage prepaid, certified or registered, return receipt requested, (b) the next business day after delivery to a regularly scheduled overnight delivery carrier with delivery fees either prepaid or an arrangement, satisfactory with such carrier, made for the payment of such fees, or (c) receipt of notice given by telecopy or personal delivery.

 

Section 13.5                   Waiver of Subrogation.  Landlord and Tenant hereby release each other, to the extent of their respective insurance coverages, from any and all liability for any loss or damage caused by fire, any of the extended coverage casualties, or other casualties insured against, even if such fire or other casualty shall be brought about by the fault or negligence of the party benefited by the release or its agents, provided, however, this release shall be in force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such time as the policies of fire, extended coverage and other insurance, maintained by the releasing party shall contain a clause, or be subject to a statutory provision, to the effect that such release shall not affect said policies or the right of the releasing party to recover thereunder.  Each party agrees that its fire, extended coverage, and other insurance policies will include such a clause.  To the extent that Tenant is a self-insurer with respect to personal property, the provisions of Section 7.8 shall be applicable.

 

Section 13.6                   Entire Agreement; Execution; Time of the Essence and Headings and Table of Contents.  This Lease together with all Exhibits referred to herein and the Summary of Basic Terms, sets forth the entire agreement between the parties hereto and cannot be modified or amended, except in a writing duly executed by the respective parties.  This Lease, together with all Exhibits referred to herein and the Summary of Basic Terms, supersedes all previous written and oral negotiations, understandings and agreements regarding the subject matter of this Lease.  Neither Landlord nor any Person acting on behalf of Landlord has made any representations to Tenant on which Tenant has relied in entering into this Lease except any representations expressly stated in this Lease.  This Lease is executed as a sealed instrument and in multiple counterparts, all copies of which are identical, and any one of which is to be deemed to be complete in itself and may be introduced in evidence or used for any purpose without the production of any other copy.  Time is of the essence with respect to the obligations of Tenant and Landlord to be performed within a specific time frame in this Lease.  The headings throughout this Lease and the Table of Contents are for convenience of reference only, and shall in no way be held or deemed to define, limit, explain, describe, modify or add to the interpretation, construction or meaning of any provision of this Lease.

 

Section 13.7                   Partial Invalidity.  If any term or condition of this Lease or its application to any Person or circumstance shall to any extent be in violation of or unenforceable under any law, rule, regulation or order (including any court order) now existing or hereafter enacted or entered by any court or other governmental entity having competent jurisdiction (including after all appeals therefrom), the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or condition to Persons or circumstances other

 

37



 

than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent not prohibited by law.

 

Section 13.8                   No Waiver.  No assent, express or implied, by Landlord to any breach of any agreement or condition herein contained on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed, and no waiver, express or implied, of any such agreement or condition shall be deemed to be a waiver of or an assent to any succeeding breach of the same or any other agreement or condition; the acceptance by Landlord of Base Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder (whether such payment is made by Tenant or another Person), or silence by Landlord as to any breach, shall not be construed as waiving any of Landlord’s rights hereunder unless such waiver shall be in writing.  No payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than shall be due Landlord from Tenant shall be deemed to be anything but payment on account, and the acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon a letter accompanying said check, that said lesser amount is payment in full shall not be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept said check without prejudice to recover the balance due or pursue any other remedy.

 

Section 13.9                   Holdover.  If Tenant remains in the Premises beyond the expiration of this Lease at the end of the Lease Term, or sooner following an early termination as provided for herein, such holding over shall not be deemed to create any tenancy, but Tenant shall be a daily Tenant at sufferance only subject to all of Tenant’s obligations set forth herein, but at a Base Rent equal to one and one-half (1½) times the Base Rent then most recently in effect and Additional Rent and other charges provided for under this Lease, with such Base Rent and Additional Rent to be charged on a monthly basis for each calendar month or portion thereof for which Tenant holds over, without proration for a partial calendar month.  The acceptance of a purported rent check following termination shall not constitute the creation of a tenancy at will, it being agreed that Tenant’s status shall remain that of a daily Tenant at sufferance, at the aforesaid daily rate Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages, if any, sustained by reason of any such holding over.  Otherwise, such holding over shall be on the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable.

 

Section 13.10            When Lease Becomes Binding.  The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease or a reservation or an option for the Premises, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant and the making of one-half of the Security Deposit by Tenant with Landlord in accordance with Section 2.5.  All negotiations, considerations, representations and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and may be modified or altered only by agreement in writing between Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions hereof.

 

Section 13.11            Recordation.  Tenant shall not record this Lease with any registry of deeds or land court, and any such recordation will be void and constitute an Event of Default under this Lease.

 

Section 13.12            Financial Statements; Certain Representations and Warranties of Tenant.  No more than once per year, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall provide to Landlord, any actual or potential mortgagee and any actual or potential ground lessor or any representative of any of the foregoing, copies of Tenant’s annual audited financial statements.  Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord, its successors and assigns that: (a) all financial statements of Tenant previously provided to Landlord (or available to Landlord on Tenant’s web site) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for footnotes), were true, complete and correct as of their respective dates and fairly and accurately reflect the financial condition of Tenant; (b) there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of Tenant subsequent to the date(s) of such financial statements; (c) all financial statements of Tenant as required to be provided to Landlord under this Section 13.12 after the dale hereof

Section 13.13            Confidentiality.  Tenant acknowledges that the terms under which Landlord has leased the Premises to Tenant, (including, without limitation, the rental rate(s), term and other financial and business terms, constitute confidential information of Landlord (“Landlord’s Confidential Information”).  Tenant covenants and agrees to keep Landlord’s Confidential Information confidential; provided, however, that (a) Landlord’s Confidential Information may be disclosed by Tenant to those of its stockholders, officers, employees, attorneys, accountants, lenders and financial advisors (collectively, “representatives”) who need to know such information in connection with Tenant’s lease, use and occupancy of the Premises and for financial reporting and credit related activities and in connection with a merger or sale of Tenant or substantially all of the assets of Tenant (it being understood that Tenant shall inform the representatives of the confidential nature of Landlord’s Confidential Information and that the representatives shall be directed by Tenant to treat Landlord’s Confidential Information confidentially in accordance with the terms of this Section), and (b) unless required by applicable law, any other disclosure of such information may only be made if Landlord consents in writing prior to any such disclosure.  Landlord acknowledges that, in connection with this Lease, Tenant is furnishing to Landlord information regarding Tenant and Tenant’s operations which is not a matter of public record and is not generally available to the public (“Tenant’s Confidential Information”).  Landlord covenants and agrees to keep Tenant’s Confidential Information confidential; provided, however, that (a) Tenant’s Confidential Information may be disclosed by Landlord to Landlord’s representatives who need to know such information in connection with Landlord’s business (it being understood that Landlord shall inform the representatives of the confidential nature of Tenant’s Confidential Information and that the representatives shall be directed by Landlord to treat Tenant’s Confidential Information confidentially in accordance with the terms of this Section), and (b) unless required by applicable law, any other disclosure of such information may only be made if Tenant consents in writing prior to any such disclosure.

 

Section 13.14            Summary of Basic Terms.  The Summary of Basic Terms which is affixed to this Lease sets forth certain basic terms and information which is thereafter referred to in the main text of this Lease.  Every reference to the Summary of Basic Terms, or to a particular item thereon, shall have the effect of incorporating the Summary, or the particular item thereof, into the main text of this Lease.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

 

TBCI, LLC, as Trustee of 100 Discovery Park Realty Trust, and BHX, LLC, as Trustee of Acorn Park I Realty Trust (collectively, “Landlord”), hereby promulgate the rules and regulations (the “Rules and Regulations”) set forth below with respect to the use of the buildings (the “Buildings”) and related amenities located at and known as Cambridge Discovery Park, Cambridge, Massachusetts (the “Property”) by tenants (collectively, the “Tenants,” and individually, a “Tenant”) of the Buildings.  Any space within the Buildings leased by a Tenant is called “Premises.”  The Rules and Regulations are as follows:

 

1.                                      Sidewalks, doorways, vestibules, stairways, elevators, corridors, halls and other similar areas within the common areas of the Property (the “Common Areas”) shall not be obstructed by any Tenant or used for any purpose other than ingress and egress to and from the portion of the Property leased by the applicable Tenant and for going from one part of the Property to another part of the Property.

 

2.                                      Except for any signs approved by Landlord, no sign, advertisement, notice or other lettering shall be exhibited, inscribed, painted or affixed by a Tenant on or to any window, door, corridor or other part of the Buildings which is visible from outside of the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord.

 

3.                                      Landlord will provide and maintain a directory board in a Common Area identifying the Tenants.  Without the prior written consent of Lender, no Tenant shall be entitled to maintain any other directory or identifying sign in any Common Area.

 

4.                                      Movement of furniture, office equipment or any bulky material which requires movement through the Common Areas of the Buildings shall be restricted to such hours as Landlord may reasonably designate, and such movement shall be subject to such restrictions as Landlord may reasonably impose.

 

5.                                      Landlord shall have the authority to limit the weight of, and to prescribe and restrict the positioning and manner of installation of, safes, file cabinets and other heavy equipment.

 

6.                                      No Tenant shall use, or permit any person making or receiving any delivery to its Premises to use, any hand trucks except those equipped with rubber tires and side guards.

 

7.                                      Subject to applicable security restrictions imposed by any governmental body for which Tenant is performing services, all locks for doors in each Tenant’s Premises shall be building standard and no Tenant shall place any additional lock or locks on any door in its Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent.  All requests for duplicate keys shall be made through Landlord and charged to the Tenant.  Upon termination of a Tenant’s tenancy, the Tenant shall deliver to Landlord all keys to the Tenant’s Premises, to interior doors within the Tenant’s Premises, to doors within the Common Areas and to exterior Building doors which have been furnished to or obtained by the Tenant.

 

8.                                      Corridor doors, when not in use, shall be kept closed.

 

9.                                      Each Tenant shall lock all doors of its Premises leading to Common Areas at the close of its working day.

 



 

10.                               No curtains, blinds, draperies or other window treatments shall be attached to or hung in any window of the Premises of a Tenant on an exterior wall of the Buildings or on an interior wall of any Building dividing the Premises from Common Areas without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

11.                               Plumbing fixtures and appliances shall be used only for the purposes for which they were designed and constructed, and no sweepings, rubbish, rags or other material shall be thrown or placed therein.  The cost of repairing any damage resulting from misuse of the plumbing fixtures or appliances by a Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees shall be borne by the responsible Tenant.

 

12.                               No Tenant shall use or permit the use of its Premises, or any part thereof, for lodging, for manufacturing, for any immoral or illegal purpose, or for any other purpose which is not permitted by the terms of its lease.

 

13.                               No vending machines shall be allowed in any Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, except for vending machines for the sole use of Tenant, its employees and invitees.

 

14.                               Each Tenant shall, at its expense, provide artificial light and electric current for the employees of Landlord and/or Landlord’s contractors while performing janitorial or other cleaning, maintenance or repair services in the Tenant’s Premises.

 

15                                  No Tenant will make or permit any of its employees, agents or invitees to make any improper noises in the Buildings or to otherwise interfere in any way with other Tenants or persons having business with them.

 

16.                               No Tenant shall cause any unnecessary janitorial labor or services by reason of the Tenant’s willful misconduct or carelessness or indifference in the preservation of good order and cleanliness.

 

17.                               No birds or animals of any kind shall be brought onto or kept on the Property, other than laboratory animals used in a Tenants permitted use of its Premises in accordance with applicable laws.

 

18.                               Without the prior written consent of Landlord, no Tenant shall use the name of the Project or any picture of the Project or Buildings in any materials promoting or advertising the business of the Tenant, except that each Tenant may use the address of the Project as the address of its business.

 

19.                               Each Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord to assure the effective operation of the heating and air conditioning systems serving the Tenant’s Premises and the Buildings.  Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, each Tenant will, at the request of Landlord, close its window treatments when the sun’s rays fall directly on windows of its Premises.

 

20.                               Neither Landlord nor the Property manager will be responsible for lost or stolen money, jewelry or other personal property from any areas of the Property, regardless of whether the loss or theft occurs when the area in question is locked.

 

21.                               Landlord may, in its discretion, institute security measures in the operation of the Property, and Tenants will comply with all such security measures.  Such security measures may include, but are not limited to, requiring persons entering the Building or the Property to identify themselves to a watchman or other person designated by Landlord and to sign in and sign out of the Property, denying

 



 

access to persons who are not properly identified or appear suspicious, and conducting fire or other emergency drills.  The exercise of such security measures by Landlord and any resulting interruption of a Tenant’s business shall not constitute an eviction or disturbance of a Tenant’s use and possession of its Premises, render Landlord liable to the Tenant for damages, or relieve a Tenant from its obligations under its lease.

 

22.                               No bicycles or vehicles shall be brought into or kept in any Building.  All bicycles and vehicles brought onto the Property shall be driven and parked only in designated, paved areas.

 

23.                               Parking on the Property shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this paragraph and, with respect to any particular Tenant, to any additional restrictions on parking set forth in such Tenant’s lease.  Each Tenant and such Tenant’s employees, agents and invitees shall have the right, in common with others and in connection with the conduct of Tenant’s business at the Property, to park passenger vehicles on portions of the Property which have been striped for parking, provided, however that (a) no Tenant or its employees or agents may park in any space marked “visitor,” and (b) no Tenant or its employees agents or invitees may park in any space marked “reserved,” unless reserved for such Tenant, and (c) persons parking their vehicles will do so exclusively within the marked parking space lines.  No Tenant or its employees, agents or invitees shall have a right to park vehicles on the Property for purposes other than in connection with the Tenant’s business at the Property.  Landlord shall have no responsibility to any Tenant or any Tenant’s employees, agents or invitees for any theft, loss of or damage to any vehicle or its contents on the Property.  Each Tenant’s parking rights, except as otherwise expressly provided in its lease, are in common with other Tenants and on a first come, first served basis, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in its lease or other written agreements with Landlord, no Tenant has the right to any designated parking spaces or to any particular number of parking spaces.

 

24.                               All vehicles brought onto the Property by Tenant, its employees, agents, customers and invitees shall be in good condition and appearance and shall be drivable.  No such vehicles shall be leaking oil or other fluids.

 

25                                  Each Tenant will deposit its garbage, trash and refuse only in approved trash containers within the Tenant’s Premises or in designated trash receptacles placed by Landlord within the Common Areas.  No Tenant shall deposit any hazardous, flammable or explosive substances in any trash receptacle on the Property

 

Landlord reserves the right to rescind, alter or waive any of the Rules and Regulations, and to adopt such additional rules and regulations as part of the Rules and Regulations, from time to time as Landlord reasonably deems it appropriate for the safety, protection, care and cleanliness of the Property, the operation thereof, the preservation of good order therein or the protection and comfort of the Tenants and their employees, agents and invitees.  An alteration or waiver of any of the Rules and Regulations in favor of one Tenant shall not, other than with the consent of Landlord, operate as an alteration or waiver in favor of any other Tenant.  Landlord shall not be responsible to any Tenant for the non-observance or violation by any other Tenant of any of the Rules and Regulations, nor for the enforcement of any of the Rules and Regulations against any other Tenant.  No Tenant shall have the right to enforce any of the Rules and Regulations against any other Tenant
