(d) In accordance with the provisions of Article 4 of the Lease, the Phase 2 Commencement Date is September 1, 2013.
(e) The Lease is in full force and effect, and the same represents the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Phase 2 Premises.
(f) Tenant has no existing defenses against the enforcement of the Lease by Landlord, and there exist no offsets or credits against Rent owed or to be owed by Tenant.
(g) The obligation to pay Rent with respect to the Phase 2 Premises is presently in effect and all Rent obligations with respect to the Phase 2 Premises on the part of Tenant under the Lease commenced to accrue on September 1, 2013.
(h) Tenant has not made any prior assignment, transfer, hypothecation or pledge of the Lease or of the rents thereunder or sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof.
3. Phase 3 Tenant Improvements. In accordance with Section 4.4(a) of the Original Lease and Section 6 of the Second Amendment, and in lieu of Tenant proving Landlord with Exhibit E-1 to the Second Amendment, Tenant hereby confirms that it wishes to exercise its right to utilize the entire Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance of Five Hundred Fifty-Nine Thousand Six Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($559,600.00) (based upon One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) per square foot of Rentable Area of the Phase 3 Premises) (the Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance).
(a) The Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance may be applied to the costs of (i) construction, (ii) project management by Landlord (which fee shall equal three percent (3%) of the cost of the Phase 3 Tenant Improvements, including the Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance), (iii) commissioning of mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems by a licensed, qualified commissioning agent hired by Landlord, and review of such partys commissioning report by a licensed, qualified commissioning agent hired by Tenant, (iv) space planning, architect, engineering and other related services performed by third parties unaffiliated with Tenant, (v) building permits and other taxes, fees, charges and levies by Governmental Authorities for permits or for inspections of the Phase 3 Tenant Improvements, and (vi) costs and expenses for labor, material, equipment and fixtures. In no event shall the Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance be used for (A) payments to Tenant or any affiliates of Tenant, (B) the purchase of any furniture, personal property or other non-building system equipment, (C) costs resulting from any default by Tenant of its obligations under the Lease or (D) costs that are recoverable by Tenant from a third party (e.g., insurers, warrantors, or tortfeasors).
(b) As set forth in Section 4.4(a) of the Original Lease and Section 6 of the Second Amendment, Base Rent shall be increased to include the amount of the Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance disbursed by Landlord in accordance with the Lease amortized over the initial Term at a rate of eight percent (8%) annually. Tenant shall have until February 28, 2015 (the Phase 3 TI Deadline), to expend the unused portion of the Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance, after which date Landlords obligation to fund such costs shall expire. The amount by which Base Rent shall be increased shall be determined (and Base Rent shall be increased
accordingly) as of the Phase 3 Commencement Date and, if such determination does not reflect use by Tenant of all of the Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance, shall be determined again as of the Phase 3 TI Deadline, with Tenant paying (on the next succeeding day that Base Rent is due under the Lease (the Phase 3 TI True-Up Date)) any underpayment of the further adjusted Base Rent for the period beginning on the Phase 3 Commencement Date and ending on the Phase 3 TI True-Up Date.
(c) Tenant and Landlord hereby agree that the budget for the Phase 3 Tenant Improvements is attached as Exhibit A attached hereto (the Phase 3 TI Budget).
(d) To the extent that the total projected cost of the Phase 3 Tenant Improvements (as projected by Landlord and as set forth in the Phase 3 TI Budget) exceeds the Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance (such excess, the Phase 3 Excess TI Costs), Tenant shall pay the costs of the Phase 3 Tenant Improvements on a pari passu basis with Landlord as such costs are paid, in the proportion of Phase 3 Excess TI Costs payable by Tenant to the Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance. In no event shall any unused Phase 3 Additional TI Allowance entitle Tenant to a credit against Rent payable under the Lease.
4. Broker. Tenant represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker or agent in the negotiation for or the obtaining of this Amendment and agrees to reimburse, indemnify, save, defend (at Landlords option and with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord, at Tenants sole cost and expense) and hold harmless the Landlord Indemnitees (as defined in the Existing Lease) for, from and against any and all cost or liability for compensation claimed by any such broker or agent employed or engaged by it or claiming to have been employed or engaged by it.
5. No Default. Tenant represents, warrants and covenants that, to the best of Tenants knowledge, Landlord and Tenant are not in default of any of their respective obligations under the Lease and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both) would constitute a default by either Landlord or Tenant thereunder.
6. Notices. Tenant confirms that, notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, notices delivered to Tenant pursuant to the Lease should be sent to:
Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
320 Bent Street
Cambridge, Massachusetts 02142
