NOW, THEREFORE, the above-described lease, as previously amended (the “Existing Lease”), is hereby further amended as follows (the Existing Lease, as amended hereby, shall hereafter be referred to as the “Lease”).  Any capitalized terms used herein shall have the same definition as set forth in the Lease, except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Fourth Amendment.

1. DEMISE OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT EXPANSION PREMISES

Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises for a term (the “Fourth Amendment Expansion Term”) commencing on the Fourth Amendment Expansion Date  (as hereinafter defined), and expiring on March 31, 2026 (the “Current Expiration Date”).  Effective as of the Fourth Amendment Expansion Date, the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises and the Existing Premises shall collectively be referred to as the “Premises.”  Said demise of the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease applicable to the Existing Premises, except to the extent inconsistent with the terms of this Fourth Amendment.

A.

Fourth Amendment Expansion Date

i.

The commencement date with respect to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises (the “Fourth Amendment Expansion Date”) shall be the earlier of: (x) the date that Tenant first commences to use the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises, or any portion thereof, for any Permitted Use, or (y)  the Substantial Completion Date, as hereinafter defined, with respect to Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work, as defined on Exhibit B, Fourth Amendment.  The parties

2

 


 

estimate that the Fourth Amendment Expansion Date will occur on or about October 1, 2018 (the “Estimated Fourth Amendment Expansion Date”).  Subject to delays due to Force Majeure and Tenant Delay, as both terms are hereinafter defined, Landlord shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the Substantial Completion Date with respect to Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work on or before the Estimated Fourth Amendment Expansion Date; however,  except as set forth in Section 1(A)(ii) below, the failure of Landlord to do so shall in no way affect the validity of the Lease, this Fourth Amendment, or the obligations of Tenant hereunder, and Tenant shall not have any claim against Landlord by reason thereof. 

ii.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Fourth Amendment Expansion Date has not occurred on or before the Outside Completion Date (defined below), then, and as Tenant’s sole remedy, both in law and in equity, in the event of any delay in the Fourth Amendment Expansion Date, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against Tenant’s obligation to pay Fixed Rent with respect to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises equal to one (1) day for each day between the Outside Completion Date and the Fourth Amendment Expansion Date.  The “Outside Completion Date” shall mean the date that is thirty (30) days after the Estimated Fourth Amendment Expansion Date, provided, however, that the Outside Completion Date shall be extended by the length of any delays in Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work arising from delay by Force Majeure (as hereinafter defined).

B.

Definitions:  For purposes of this Fourth Amendment:

i.

Force Majeure”  shall be defined as any strike or other labor trouble, fire, flood or other casualty, breakage, accident, repairs, unusually severe weather, governmental preemption of priorities or other controls in connection with a national or other public emergency, governmental moratoria, or inaction of governmental authority (or shortages of fuel, supplies or labor resulting there from), war, civil commotion, labor or transportation difficulties, inability to obtain supplies, or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.  

ii.

A “Tenant Delay” shall be defined as any delay in the performance of Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work caused by: (i) any default, act or omission by Tenant or any employee, agent, representative, consultant, contractor or subcontractor of Tenant, or (ii) any Change in Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work requested by Tenant in accordance with Exhibit B, Fourth Amendment that has a material impact to the construction schedule.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall it be deemed to be a Tenant Delay until and unless Landlord has given Tenant written notice (the “Tenant Delay Notice”) advising Tenant (i) that a Tenant Delay is occurring, (ii) of the basis on which Landlord has determined that a Tenant 

3

 


 

Delay is occurring, and (iii) the actions which Landlord believes that Tenant must take to eliminate such Tenant Delay.  No period of time prior to the expiration of the cure period shall be included in the period of time charged to Tenant pursuant to such Tenant Delay Notice.

iiiThe “Substantial Completion Date” with respect to Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work shall be defined as (x) the date that all of Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work is complete, except for minor items which do not materially adversely affect Tenant’s use of the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises, and (y) the date that Tenant may lawfully use the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises for the Permitted Use, pursuant to either a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy issued by the City of Waltham;  provided however, that in the event that Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work is delayed by any Tenant Delays, then the Substantial Completion Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date that the Substantial Completion Date would have occurred, but for such Tenant Delays.  Landlord’s certificate of Substantial Completion shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless, within five (5) Business Days of Tenant’s receipt of such certificate, Tenant gives written notice to Landlord objecting to such certificate, such notice of objection to set forth with specificity the basis of Tenant’s objections to such certificate.

Exhibit 10.2

 

EXHIBIT B, FOURTH AMENDMENT

 

WORK LETTER

 

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Fourth Amendment, by and between CRP King 830 Winter, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and ImmunoGen, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation (“Tenant”), for space located at 830 Winter Street, Lexington, Massachusetts.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Lease.

 

1.Definitions.  This Work Letter shall set forth the obligations of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the improvements to be performed in the Premises for Tenant’s use.  For the purposes of this Lease, “Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work” consists of the Base Building Work and the Tenant Improvement Work, each as hereinafter defined.  The “Base Building Work” is identified on the Landlord/Tenant Responsibility Matrix attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, Fourth Amendment.  The “Tenant Improvement Work” is: (i) identified on the Landlord/Tenant Responsibility Matrix attached hereto as Exhibit B-1, Fourth Amendment,  (ii) shown on the Space Plans attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, Fourth Amendment, Sheet 1, and (iii) shown on the Tenant Equipment List for the First Floor attached hereto as Exhibit B-2, Fourth Amendment, Sheet 2.   The Base Building Work shall be performed at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.  The Tenant Improvement Work shall be performed at Tenant’s cost and expense, subject to Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Contribution, as hereinafter set forth. 

 

2.Permit Plans

 

(a) Landlord shall engage Olson Lewis Architects (“Landlord’s Architect”) as its subconsultant to act as the architect to prepare the permit set of plans and specifications (“Permit Set of Plans and Specifications”) for Tenant Improvement Work.  Landlord shall submit to Tenant, together with the Permit Set of Plans and Specifications, an estimate (“Permit Set Estimate”) of the Cost of the Tenant Improvement Work based upon the Permit Set.

(b) The Permit Set shall be subject to Tenant’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and, in any event Tenant shall, within five (5) Business Days of Tenant’s receipt of such Permit Set, respond in writing by either approving such Permit Set or disapproving such Permit Set and advising Landlord of the reasons why Tenant is disapproving such Permit Set. 

(c) If Tenant reasonably determines that the Permit Set Estimate is higher than is acceptable to Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to give request Changes to Tenant Improvement Work, provided, however, that if Tenant requests  Changes to the Permit Set of Plans and Specifications which have a material impact on the Construction Schedule more than one (1) time, then any such subsequent changes shall, in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 2(c), be a Tenant Delay.  In order to exercise such right to request Changes to Tenant Improvement Work in order to reduce the Permit Set Estimate, Tenant shall, on or before the date five (5) Business Days after Tenant receives Landlord’s notice to Tenant of the Permit Set Estimate, give written notice to Landlord specifying the changes in Tenant Improvement Work requested by Tenant.  Such changes shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).   Based upon the Construction Documents for Tenant Improvement Work, which are based upon the changes

Exhibit C, Fourth Amendment

 


 

requested by Tenant, as approved by Landlord, as aforesaid, the Contractor shall establish the GMP for the construction of Tenant Improvement Work in accordance with this Section 2.  Tenant shall have the right to review the revised GMP within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof but any subsequent Changes to the Tenant Improvement Work that have material impact to the construction schedule shall constitute a Tenant Delay. 

3.Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Contribution.  Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Construction Documents have not yet been prepared and, therefore, it is impossible to determine the exact cost of the Tenant Improvement Work at this time.  Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord’s obligation to pay for the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work  (as hereinafter defined) shall be limited to an amount (“Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Contribution”) which shall not exceed $400,000.00 (i.e., $40.00 per rentable square foot of the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises) (the “Maximum Amount”) and that Tenant shall be responsible for the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work to the extent that it exceeds the Maximum Amount.  The “Cost of Tenant Improvement Work” shall be defined as: (i) all hard costs  (“Hard Costs”) and soft costs (including, without limitation, space planning and design, permit fees, signage and cabling) the cost of obtaining permits and any applicable state sales and use taxes) (“Soft Costs”) incurred by Landlord relating to the performance of the Tenant Improvement Work, provided however, that no more than $40,000.00 of Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Contribution may be used for Soft Costs.    The use of freight elevators, security, access to loading docks, parking, utilities and temporary HVAC during the performance of the Tenant Improvement Work shall not be included in the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work and Tenant shall not be required to pay for such services, except to the extent that such activities occur after normal Building business hours.

 

4.Contractor; GMP.  Landlord shall enter into a contract (“Contract”) for the Tenant Improvement Work with The Richmond Group (“Contractor”).  The Contract shall be on the basis of a guaranteed maximum price (“GMP”).  The GMP shall be determined based upon the sum of the following:

 

Contractor’s Fee:  5% of the sum (“Cost of the Work”) of: (i) Direct Cost of the Tenant

Improvement Work, (ii) Supervision Costs, and (iii) General Conditions Costs. 

 

Supervision Costs:  $190,000.00

 

General Conditions Costs:  $58,000.00

 

 

Direct Cost of the Tenant Improvement Work:  Determined by bids obtained from subcontractors

in accordance with Section 7 below.

 

Construction Contingency:   3% of the Cost of the Work

 

 

5.Preparation of Construction Documents.  Landlord shall engage Landlord’s Architect to prepare the Construction Documents for Tenant’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

 

 

14

 


 

6.Tenant Responses.  Tenant shall respond, in writing, to any requests from Landlord or the Contractor for information, consents, or authorizations to proceed in connection with Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work, within three (3) Business Days of Tenant’s receipt of such request.  Any failure by Tenant to respond within such time period may be the basis of a Tenant Delay.   Tenant shall have the right to hire a mutually approved Tenant Construction Representative to oversee all required construction relative to the Tenant Premises.

 

 

7.Bid Process.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that:

 

·

the Contractor will receive a single bid for each of the following portions of Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work from the designated subcontractors (“Designated Subcontractors”) listed below who will perform such portions of Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work:

Mechanical:  Environmental Systems, Incorporated

Plumbing:  North Shore Mechanical Contractors

Fire Protection: Noremac Sprinkler Corporation

Electrical:  Nappa Electric

 

·

Landlord will cause the Contractor to use reasonable efforts to obtain at least three (3) bidders for other portions of Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work; however, given the current market, it may not be possible to obtain more than one or two bidders with respect to portions of Landlord’s Fourth Amendment Work.  Landlord shall make available to Tenant copies of all subcontractor bids and executed subcontracts for Tenant’s information and review.

 

8.Tenant’s Share.  For the purposes of this Exhibit B, Fourth Amendment: (i) if the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work is equal to, or less than, the Maximum Amount, then “Tenant’s Share” shall be 0%, and (ii) if the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work is greater than the Maximum Amount, then Tenant’s Share shall be a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the total Cost of Tenant Improvement Work exceeds the Maximum Amount, and the denominator of which is the total Cost of the Tenant Improvement Work based upon the approved GMP and Landlord’s estimated budget for the other costs included in the Costs of the Tenant Improvement Work.

 

 

9.Tenant’s Obligation to Pay.  If the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work exceeds the Maximum Amount (“Excess Costs”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord such Excess Costs as follows:  (i) Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Tenant Improvement Costs within thirty (30) days of Billing  (as hereinafter defined), (ii) with respect to any Changes to Tenant Improvement Work, Tenant shall pay for the cost of such changes in accordance with Section 10 below, and (iii) with respect to any increases in the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work arising from Claims by the Contractor, Tenant shall pay for the cost of such Claims as set forth in Section 11 below.  “Billing” shall be defined as any invoice from Landlord setting forth, reasonable detail, the amount due from Tenant, and shall include invoices from vendors and service providers, and applications for payment from the Contractor for work completed through the date of Billing, as certified by the Contractor.  Billing may not be submitted to Tenant more than one time per

15

 


 

calendar month.  The amounts payable by Tenant hereunder constitute Rent payable pursuant to the Lease, and the failure to timely pay same constitutes an event of default under the Lease.

 

 

10.Changes.  If Tenant shall request any change, addition or alteration in any of the Plans after approval by Landlord (“Changes”), Landlord shall have such revisions to the drawings prepared.  Promptly upon completion of the revisions, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the increased cost, if any, which will be chargeable to Tenant by reason of such change, addition or deletion.  Tenant, within three (3) Business Days, shall notify Landlord in writing whether it desires to proceed with such Change.  In the absence of such written authorization, Landlord shall have the option to continue work on the Fourth Amendment Expansion Premises disregarding the requested Change.  To the extent that the cost of performing such revisions cause the cost of Tenant Improvement Work to exceed the Maximum Amount, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the Cost of Tenant Improvement Work associated with such Changes within thirty (30) days of upon Billing, as such Change work is being performed.
