  (i) assuming:

 

  (A) that the Demised Premises is at the Review Date fit, ready and available for immediate occupation by the willing tenant so that they are immediately capable of being used by the willing tenant for all purposes required by the willing tenant that would be permitted under this Lease, and in calculating the Open Market Rent it shall be assumed that the willing tenant has enjoyed whatever rent concessions are being offered in the open market for fitting-out purposes and that all Utilities and other facilities necessary for such occupation are connected to and immediately available for use at the Demised Premises;

 

  (B) that no work has been carried out to the Demised Premises by the Tenant, any sub-tenant or their respective predecessors in title during the Term, which has diminished the rental value of the Demised Premises;

  (b) “President” means the President for the time being of the Society of Chartered Surveyors and includes any duly appointed deputy of the President or any person authorised by the President to make appointments on his behalf;

 

  (c) “Rent Restrictions” means restrictions imposed by any statute in force on a Review Date or on the date on which any increased rent is ascertained in accordance with this Schedule which operate to impose any limitation, whether in time or amount, on the collection, review or increase in the rent reserved by clause 3.1 of this Lease; and

 

  (d) “Surveyor” means an independent chartered surveyor who is experienced in the valuation or leasing of property similar to the Demised Premises and is acquainted with the market in the area in which the Demised Premises are located, appointed from time to time to determine the Open Market Rent pursuant to the provisions of this Schedule.

The rent reserved at clause 3.1 of this Lease shall be reviewed at the Review Date in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule and shall equate to the Open Market Rent on the Review Date.

 

3. Agreement or determination of the reviewed rent

The Open Market Rent at the Review Date may be agreed in writing at any time between the Landlord and the Tenant but if, for any reason, they have not so agreed by the Review Date then the Landlord may by notice in writing to the Tenant require the Open Market Rent to be determined by the Surveyor. The Surveyor shall, at the option of the Landlord, act either as an arbitrator in accordance with the Arbitration Act 2010 or as an expert, such option to be exercised by the Landlord by giving written notice to the President at the time of the Landlord’s written application to the President but if no written notice is given by the Landlord as aforesaid, then the Surveyor shall act as an arbitrator;

 

4. Appointment of Surveyor

If the Landlord has required the Open Market Rent to be determined by the Surveyor, then in default of agreement between the Landlord and the Tenant on the appointment of the Surveyor, the Surveyor shall be appointed by the President on the written application of the Landlord to the President.

The Surveyor shall:

 

  (a) determine the Open Market Rent in accordance with the terms of this Schedule;

6. Fees of Surveyor

The fees and expenses of the Surveyor (if acting as an expert) and the party responsible for paying him shall be determined by the Surveyor (but this shall not preclude the Surveyor from notifying both parties of his total fees and expenses notwithstanding the non-publication at that time of his decision) and, failing such determination of the party responsible for paying him, such fees and expenses of the Surveyor together with the costs of his nomination shall be payable by the Landlord and the Tenant in equal shares who shall each bear their own costs, fees and expenses. Without prejudice to the foregoing, both the Landlord and the Tenant shall each be entitled to pay the entire fees and expenses due to the Surveyor and thereafter recover as a simple contract debt the amount (if any) due from the party who failed or refused to pay same.

 

7. Appointment of new Surveyor

If the Surveyor fails to give notice of his determination within the time aforesaid, or if he relinquishes his appointment, dies, is unwilling to act, or becomes incapable of acting, or if he is removed from office by court order, or if for any other reason he is unable or unsuited (whether because of bias or otherwise) to act, then either party may request the President to discharge the Surveyor (if necessary) and appoint another surveyor as substitute to act in the same capacity.

  (b) within fourteen days of the Determination Date the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord on demand as arrears of rent the amount (if any) by which the rent reviewed in accordance with this Schedule exceeds the rent actually paid during the Interim Period (apportioned on a daily basis) together with:

 

  (i) interest on that amount at the Base Rate from the Review Date to the due date for payment of that amount; and thereafter

 

34


  (ii) interest on that amount at the Prescribed Rate until the date of actual payment.

 

  (c) the Landlord shall refund to the Tenant the amount (if any) by which the rent reserved in accordance with the Schedule is less than the rent actually paid during the Interim Period (apportioned on a daily basis) together with interest on that amount at the Base Rate from the Review Date to the date of payment of that amount.

 

9. Rent Restrictions

On each and every occasion during the Term that Rent Restrictions shall be in force, then and in each and every case:

 

  (a) the operation of the provisions herein for review of the rent shall be postponed to take effect on the first date or dates thereafter upon which such operation may occur; and

 

  (b) the collection of any increase or increases in the rent shall be postponed to take effect on the first date or dates thereafter that such increase or increases may be collected and/or retained in whole or in part and on as many occasions as shall be required to ensure the collection of the whole increase;

AND until the Rent Restrictions shall be relaxed either partially or wholly the rent reserved by this Lease (which if previously reviewed shall be the rent payable under this Lease immediately prior to the imposition of the Rent Restrictions) shall (subject always to any provision to the contrary appearing in the Rent Restrictions) be the maximum rent from time to time payable hereunder.

 

10. Memoranda of reviewed rent

 

  (a) As soon as the amount of any reviewed rent has been agreed or determined a memorandum of such reviewed rent shall be prepared by the Landlord or its solicitors and shall be signed by or on behalf of the Landlord and the Tenant.

 

  (b) The Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay to the Landlord the stamp duty (if any) payable on such memoranda and any counterparts, but the parties shall each bear their own costs in respect of the preparation and execution of such memoranda and any counterparts.

If the Advance Payments (as defined in Part III of this Schedule 5) of Service Charge prove insufficient to meet an immediate liability (and there is no reserve or sinking fund available or which may be applied to meet the liability) the Landlord shall be entitled to borrow monies for the purpose from reputable banks at commercially competitive rates of interest, and the interest payable on the borrowing shall be recoverable as an item of the Service Charge.

 

6. If the Landlord shall fail to provide the Services or any of them, the Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action to compel the Landlord to do so and the Landlord shall not be liable to the Tenant in respect of any loss, injury or damage which the Tenant shall sustain as a result of the failure of the Landlord to provide the Services or the failure of any agent of the Landlord or member of the Landlord’s staff (if any) properly to carry out his duties unless the Tenant shall notify the Landlord in writing specifying the failure of which the Tenant complains and the Landlord shall after the expiration of 21 (twenty-one) days from service of the said notice continue to neglect to provide the said Services in respect of which notice has been given by the Tenant.

 

7. For the purpose of giving effect to the provisions of this Schedule 5 the Landlord shall have the right from time to time to make rules and regulations and to make additions and amendments to them or revisions of them for the orderly convenient and proper operation, management and maintenance of the Building and the Retained Areas or any part of them all of which rules and regulations shall be binding on Tenant in accordance with clause 4.25.

 

39


Part III

Calculation and payment of Service Charge

 

1. The Tenant’s Proportion of the Service Charge shall be discharged by means of equal quarterly payments in advance (the “Advance Payments”) to be made on each of the Instalment Days and by such additional payments as may be required under paragraph 7 of Part III of this Schedule 5.

 

2. The amount of each Advance Payment shall be one quarter of such amount as the Landlord may reasonably determine to be equal to the amount of the Tenant’s Proportion of the Service Charge for the relevant Service Charge Period and which is notified by the Landlord or its agents to the Tenant on or before each anniversary of the Term Commencement Date or as soon as may be practicable thereafter.

 

3. The Service Charge is to be treated as accruing on a day-to-day basis in order to ascertain yearly rates and for the purposes of apportionment in relation to periods other than of one year.

 

4. The Landlord will as soon as may be practicable after the end of each Service Charge Period submit to the Tenant a statement duly certified (if so requested) by the Landlord’s accountant or surveyor giving a proper summary of the Service Charge for the Service Charge Period just ended.

 

5. If the Tenant’s Proportion of the Service Charge as certified is more or less than the total of the Advance Payments (or the grossed-up equivalent of such payments if made for any period of less than the Service Charge Period), then any sum due to or payable by the Landlord by way of adjustment in respect of the Tenant’s Proportion of the Service Charge is forthwith to be paid or allowed as the case may be. The provisions of this paragraph are to continue to apply notwithstanding the determination or earlier termination of this Lease in respect of any Service Charge Period then current.

 

6. The Tenant is entitled to:

 

  (a) inspect the Service Charge records and vouchers of the Landlord at such location as the Landlord may reasonably appoint for the purpose during normal working hours on weekdays upon giving the Landlord at least 14 (fourteen) days prior written notice of its intention to inspect such records and vouchers; and

 

  (b) at the Tenant’s expense take copies of such records and vouchers.

 

7. If the Landlord is required during any Service Charge Period to incur heavy or exceptional expenditure which forms part of the Service Charge, the Landlord is to be entitled to recover from the Tenant the Tenant’s Proportion of the Service Charge representing the whole of that expenditure on the Instalment Day next following.

 

8. The Tenant is not entitled to object to the Service Charge (or any item comprised in it) or otherwise on any of the following grounds:

 

  (a) the inclusion in a subsequent Service Charge Period of any item of expenditure or liability omitted from the Service Charge for any preceding Service Charge Period;

 

40


  (b) an item of Service Charge included at a proper cost might have been provided or performed at a lower cost;

 

  (c) disagreement with any estimate of future expenditure for which the Landlord requires to make provision so long as the Landlord has acted reasonably and in good faith and in the absence of manifest error;

 

  (d) the manner in which the Landlord exercises its discretion in providing the Services so long as the Landlord acts in good faith and in accordance with the principles of good estate management;

 

  (e) the employment of managing agents or other persons to carry out and provide on the Landlord’s behalf any of the Landlord’s obligations under this Schedule 5;

 

  (f) on a permitted assignment of this Lease the Landlord:

 

  (i) shall not be required to make any apportionment relative to such an assignment; and

 

  (ii) shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the tenant in whom this Lease is for the time being vested (and, for this purpose, in disregard of a permitted assignment of this Lease which has not been delivered to the Landlord in accordance with clause 4.14(b)(ix)); and

 

  (g) the benefit of a service provided by the Landlord will be enjoyed substantially at a time after the expiry of this Lease if the service is provided by the Landlord in good faith and it is generally of benefit to the tenants of the Landlord in the Building as a class.

 

9. The Tenant’s Proportion of the Service Charge may not be increased or altered by reason only that at any relevant time any part of the Building may be vacant or be occupied by the Landlord or that any tenant or occupier of another part of the Building may default in payment of, or be required to pay less than, its due proportion of the Service Charge attributable to that part.

 

10. There is to be excluded from the items comprised in the Service Charge any liability or expense for which the Tenant or other tenants, licensees or occupiers of the Building may individually be responsible under the terms of their tenancy, licence or other arrangement by which they use or occupy the Building.

Re: Lease of even date between (1) AIG Property Company Limited and (2) Hubspot Ireland Limited in relation to part of the second floor, 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1 (the “Lease”)

Dear Sirs,

This side letter is supplemental to the Lease and defined terms herein shall have the same meaning as those in the Lease, save where otherwise specified.

In consideration of the payment by the Tenant of the sum of €10.00 (the receipt of which the Landlord hereby acknowledges) today and strictly on the basis that Hubspot Ireland Limited remains the Tenant under the Lease, the parties hereby agree that:

 

1. Rent Free Period

The Initial Rent shall be abated to nil for the following periods over the course of the first three years of the Term:

 

  1.1 first six months of year one;

 

  1.2 first four months of year two; and

 

  1.3 first four months of year three.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Tenant shall be obliged to pay service charge, insurance and all other outgoings payable in accordance with the Lease as and from the Term Commencement Date.

 

2. Break Option

 

  2.1 The Tenant may terminate the Lease on either the last day of the third year of the Term or the last day of the fifth year of the Term (either a “Break Date”) subject to serving a notice in writing on the Landlord exercising the right to terminate the Lease (the “Break Notice”) not less than six (6) months prior to the Break Date and in this regard time shall be of the essence.

 

  2.2 The Tenant shall continue to be responsible for the Initial Rent and all other payments which fall due for payment under the Lease up to and including the relevant Break Date.

 

Page 1 of 3


  2.3 The Tenant shall on or prior to the Break Date deliver vacant possession of the Demised Premises to the Landlord together with the original of the Lease and all related title documentation (including a release or discharge of all mortgages, charges and other encumbrances affecting the Demised Premises, whether registered or not), and shall (if requested by the Landlord) as beneficial owner deliver duly executed and stamped a transfer or surrender of the Lease.

 

  2.4 The Tenant shall take all steps as may be necessary to terminate, on or before the Break Date, all sub-leases (if any) that may have been permitted pursuant to the Lease and shall deliver to the Landlord on the Break Date vacant possession of the Demised Premises.

 

  2.5 In the event that the Tenant exercises its option to terminate the Lease on the expiration of the third year of the Term, it shall pay to the Landlord an amount equivalent to six months’ rent, service charge, insurances, rates and other outgoings payable under the Lease and shall deliver a bank draft in this amount to the Landlord on the Break Date.

 

  2.6 Any termination pursuant to this paragraph 2 shall be without prejudice to any right or remedy of either party in respect of any antecedent breach by the other party of any of their respective covenants contained in the Lease.

 

3. Sub-leases at less than the Initial Rent

Notwithstanding clause 4.14(b)(v) of the Lease, the Tenant shall be permitted to grant a sub-lease of the entire of the Demised Premises at an open market rent notwithstanding that this may be less than the passing rent under the Lease PROVIDED STRICTLY THAT the Tenant and any sub-tenant shall not use any such sub-lease, the rent payable thereunder or any of the terms of the sub-lease as evidence on any future rent review under the Lease and shall keep the terms of the sub-lease strictly private and confidential as between the Landlord, the Tenant and the sub-tenant, particularly so that it may not be used as evidence in any rent review of any premises within or adjoining the Building.

 

4. Service Charge Cap

The Tenant’s Proportion of the Service Charge shall not exceed the sum of €65,649.01 (being €9.50 per square foot of the floor area of the Demised Premises) for each of the first three years of the Term only. For the avoidance of doubt, the Tenant’s obligation to discharge the Service Charge shall be in accordance with the Lease as and from the first day of the fourth year of the Term.

The terms of this side letter are personal to Hubspot Ireland Limited and may not be assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of.

This side letter is submitted in duplicate. Please countersign the duplicate to signify agreement with its terms.

 

Yours faithfully,
/s/ Illegible

3. NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED that in pursuance of the said Agreement and in consideration of the payment of €10.00 by the Tenant to the Landlord (the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Landlord), the Landlord hereby agrees with the Tenant that subject to the Tenant complying with all covenants and conditions on its part contained in the Lease, the following shall apply:-

 

  3.1 Option

At any time for a period of 12 months from the date hereof, the Tenant may exercise the Option in accordance with the following terms and conditions:

 

  (a) Upon receipt by the Landlord of a bona fide and valid expression of interest from a third party that is not a Group Company in relation to a letting of the First Floor Premises (which the Landlord in its absolute discretion has deemed acceptable), the Landlord shall notify the Tenant in writing of the expression of interest including details of the commercial terms proposed (the “Landlord’s Expression of Interest Notice”).

 

  (b) The Tenant shall then respond to the Landlord in writing within ten (10) working days of the date of the Landlord’s Expression of Interest Notice indicating if it intends to exercise the Option and take a demise of the First Floor Premises (the “Tenant’s Option Notice”).

 

  (c) In the event that the Tenant decides not to issue the Tenant’s Option Notice, the Tenant shall acknowledge this fact in writing to the Landlord within ten (10) working days of the date of the Landlord’s Expression of Interest Notice.

 

  (d) In the event that the Tenant serves the Tenant’s Option Notice on the Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this clause 3.1, the following provisions shall apply:-

 

  (i) Both the Landlord and the Tenant shall execute a supplemental lease in a form to be agreed between the parties reflecting the demise of the First Floor Premises (“Supplemental Lease”) within twenty one (21) days (or such longer period as may be agreed between the parties) after the service of the Tenant’s Option Notice.

 

  (ii) The Supplemental Lease shall be identical in form (in so far as is reasonably practicable) to the Lease, shall be for a term of years commencing on the date of the execution of the Supplemental Lease and expiring on the last day of the Term of the Lease and the rent payable per square metre thereunder shall be agreed between the parties (both acting reasonably) as that reflecting the open market rent (as that phrase is commonly understood to mean) prevailing at that time.

If there is any dispute in relation to the determination of open market rent for the purpose of this clause, an independent third party surveyor shall be appointed (on the agreement of both parties) to determine same acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator.

 

  (e) In the event that the Tenant does not issue the Tenant’s Option Notice and the expression of interest from the relevant third party does not result in the execution of a lease in favour of such third party, and further in the event that the Landlord subsequently receives a further valid and bona fide expression of interest from a further third party, the provisions of sub-clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this clause 3.1 shall also apply in relation to such further expression of interest PROVIDED THAT such further expression of interest is also received within 12 months from the date hereof.

 

- 3 -


  3.2 Lapse of Option

In the event that:

 

  (a) the Landlord receives a bona fide and valid expression of interest from a Group Company and subsequently grants a lease of the First Floor Premises to that AIG Group Company; or

 

  (b) the Tenant does not serve the Tenant’s Option Notice within the timelines prescribed at clauses 3.1(a) or (e) above; or

 

  (c) the Tenant has acknowledged to the Landlord in accordance with clause 3.2(c) above that it will not be issuing the Tenant’s Option Notice;

the Option shall then lapse immediately and be of no further force and effect.

 

4. The Tenant agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party.

IN WITNESS whereof the parties have executed this Lease in the manner following and on the day and year first herein WRITTEN.
