Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord, the Premises for the Term.

3


2.2 APPURTENANT RIGHTS AND RESERVATIONS

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, including without limitation Articles XII and XIII and Section 8.3, Tenant will have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hour per day, seven (7) days per week, fifty-two (52) weeks per year. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, rights to use, and to permit its occupants, subtenants, assignees, and invitees to use the exterior walkways, loading docks, ramps, and stairways on the Lot. Such rights shall be subject to reasonable, non-discriminatorily enforced rules and regulations from time to time established by Landlord in accordance with Section 5.1.

Not included in the Premises are the roof, the foundation and perimeter walls of the Building (except the inner surfaces thereof and the perimeter doors and windows). Landlord also reserves the right to alter or relocate any exterior facility, provided that alterations and relocated facilities are at least equivalent in quality and functional utility to such facility prior to any such alteration or relocation, that Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that such alteration or relocation shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s layout, use or enjoyment of the Premises, or access to the Building or the Premises.

Tenant shall have the right to use the Building’s fire stairs as communicating stairs between the floors making up the Premises (the “Fire Stairs”). As part of such use, Tenant shall have the right to (x) choose and install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, design finishes in the Fire Stairs and (y) install card key access from the Fire Stairs to the Premises; provided, however, any such installations shall be (i) subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) tied to the Building’s life safety systems and otherwise in accordance with all Requirements, including, but not limited to, those of the City of Boston Fire Department, (iii) not increase Landlord’s insurance premiums or rate of insurance (unless Tenant pays for any such increase), or decrease the coverage provided under Landlord’s insurance policies, (iv) maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost, except with respect to the cleaning to be provided by Landlord under Section 9.3, and (v) considered Specialty Alterations for the purposes of Section 6.1 of the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be permitted to override Tenant’s access system if Landlord needs to access the Premises via the Fire Stairs in the event of an emergency or as otherwise deemed necessary in Landlord’s reasonable discretion upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant.

ARTICLE III

TERM OF LEASE; CONDITION OF PREMISES

3.1 TERM OF LEASE; DELIVERY OF POSSESSION

The term of this Lease shall be for the Term, unless earlier terminated or extended as hereinafter provided. Landlord anticipates that the Commencement Date will occur on or about October 31, 2015 (as such date may be extended for Tenant Delay or events described in Section 8.3, the “Target Commencement Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

 

4


contained in this Lease, if Landlord is unable to tender possession of any portion of the Premises on the Target Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable or otherwise affected and Tenant shall have no claim for damages against Landlord except as expressly set forth in Exhibit WORK LETTER.

3.2 CONDITION OF PREMISES

Except as expressly set forth herein, Landlord has made no representations, warranties or undertakings as to the present or future condition of the Premises or the fitness or availability of the Premises for any particular use. Landlord shall construct certain improvements to the Building and the initial improvements to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy in accordance with Exhibit WORK LETTER, attached (including, without limitation, the provisions of such Exhibit regarding the cost of such work).

3.3 EXTENSION OPTION

Provided (i) no Default of Tenant has occurred and is continuing hereunder (Tenant acknowledging that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or otherwise implied by this Lease, Landlord has no obligation to accept any cure following the expiration of applicable cure periods), (ii) the original named Tenant (or an assignee of Tenant permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof) is occupying at least 65% of the Premises then demised hereunder both on the date such notice is given and on the commencement date of the Extension Term and (iii) Tenant provides Landlord with a replacement Letter of Credit (or an amendment to the then-existing Letter of Credit) with an outside expiration date no earlier than sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable Extension Term, Tenant may elect to extend the Lease Term for two (2) consecutive five (5)- year periods (each, an “Extension Term”) by giving Landlord irrevocable notice of each such election (an “Extension Notice”) no later than eighteen (18) months, and no earlier than twenty- four (24) months, prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term (or first Extension Term, as applicable). Such extension shall be upon all of the same terms, covenants, and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (a) Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Lease Term (other than, during the first Extension Term, the right to extend the Lease Term for the second Extension Term), (b) the Base Rent for (i) the first Extension Term shall be at a rate of $365,673.93 per month, and (ii) the second Extension Term shall be at a rate equal to Fair Market Rent (as defined below) as of the commencement date of the second Extension Term, and (c) Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any improvements to the Premises or Building or to pay any allowances, brokerage commissions or inducements of any kind.

Fair Market Rent shall be computed as of the commencement of the second Extension Term. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Fair Market Rent” means the annual fair market rent for the Premises for the second Extension Term for which it is to be leased, taking into account all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the size of the Premises, condition of the Premises, location and age of the Building, escalation charges, location of the Premises, tenant improvements, the length of the Extension Term, and such other factors as are customarily taken into consideration in the determination of rent and taking into account that there are no base years for Operating Costs Payments and no free rent and that Landlord shall have no obligation to make or pay for any improvements to the Premises or Building or to pay any allowances or inducements of any kind.

 

5


In the event that Tenant timely gives the Extension Notice hereunder with respect to the second Extension Term, then, no later than the date that is six (6) months before the expiration of the first Extension Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s good faith estimate of the Fair Market Rent for the second Extension Term. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on the amount of such Fair Market Rent by the date that is thirty (30) days following the giving of such estimate by Landlord, then the Fair Market Rent shall be established in the following manner. Within fifteen (15) days (the “Cut-Off Date”) after the expiration of such 30-day period, Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint one qualified broker and the two qualified brokers so appointed shall determine the Fair Market Rent within fifteen (15) days following the Cut-Off Date (such 15-day period, the “Two-Broker Period”). As used herein, the term “qualified broker” shall mean any independent unaffiliated commercial real estate broker (a) who is employed by a brokerage firm of recognized competence in the greater Boston area and (b) who has not less than ten (10) years’ experience in brokering premises for leases of the general location, type and character as the Premises. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint a qualified broker by the Cut-Off Date, then the other party shall have the power to appoint the qualified broker for the defaulting party. If the qualified brokers are unable to agree on the Fair Market Rent by the expiration of the Two-Broker Period, then the two qualified brokers jointly shall appoint a third qualified broker within ten (10) days of the expiration of the Two-Broker Period, and within fifteen (15) days of such appointment all three qualified brokers shall meet and determine the Fair Market Rent. If all three qualified brokers are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rent within such 15-day period, then the first two qualified brokers simultaneously shall deliver their final Fair Market Rent numbers to the third qualified broker on the third (3rd) Business Day after the expiration of such 15-day period, and the third qualified broker shall select one or the other number as the Fair Market Rent within two (2) Business Days after receipt of such submissions from the first two qualified brokers, and the Fair Market Rent so determined shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Each party shall bear the cost of its qualified broker, and the cost of the third qualified broker shall be borne equally between the parties. If the Fair Market Rent is not so determined prior to the commencement of the second Extension Term, then, from and after the commencement date of the second Extension Term, Tenant shall continue to pay as Base Rent for the applicable Extended Term an amount equal to the Base Rent payable with respect to the Premises on the last day of the first Extension Term. If, based upon the final determination hereunder, the payments made by Tenant on account of the Base Rent for such portion of the Extension Term were (i) less than the Base Rent for such Extension Term as finally determined in accordance with the provisions herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such deficiency in its entirety within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, or (ii) greater than the Base Rent for such Extension Term as finally determined in accordance with the provisions hereof, Landlord shall credit the amount of such excess in its entirety against the next installments of Base Rent due under this Lease.

Following the parties’ determination of the Base Rent to be paid by Tenant during the applicable Extension Term, as hereinabove provided, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease confirming (i) the extension of this Lease for the applicable Extension Term and (ii) the Base Rent to be paid by Tenant for the Premises during the applicable Extension Term, as determined in accordance with the terms of this Section; provided, however,

 

6


that the failure of either party to enter into such amendment shall not affect the exercise of Tenant’s extension option (Tenant having been deemed to have irrevocably exercised such right upon the giving of the Extension Notice). References in this Lease to “Lease Term” or “Term” shall mean the Lease Term or Term as extended pursuant to Tenant’s rights under this Article III. Time is of the essence with respect to matters set forth in this Article III.

ARTICLE IV

RENT

4.1 RENT PAYMENTS

(a) The Base Rent (at the rates specified in Section 1.2 hereof), and other amounts, sums and charges payable to Landlord pursuant to this Lease (collectively the “Rent”), including amounts payable to Landlord by Tenant under the terms of Sections 4.2, 4.3 and Exhibit WORK LETTER (including, without limitation, amounts in connection with Tenant Requested Changes, Tenant Improvements, Tenant Improvements Change Orders, Landlord Change Estimate Notices, and Excess Tenant Improvements), shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in good funds at the Rent Payment Address of Landlord or such other place and/or by such method as Landlord may from time to time designate by notice to Tenant, without any demand, and without any counterclaim, offset or deduction, of any kind, whatsoever, except as expressly provided herein. Rent due under this Lease shall be payable by check, or, at Tenant’s election, by wire transfer, of immediately available United States funds to such account as Landlord shall direct. All Rent, other than Base Rent, due to Landlord under this Lease from time to time is sometimes referred to herein as “additional rent.”

(b) Commencing on the Commencement Date and thereafter throughout the term of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Base Rent and the monthly installments of the Operating Costs Payments in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month. Additional rent and other charges payable pursuant to this Lease shall be payable at the times and in the manner set forth in this Lease.

(c) The Base Rent and the monthly installments of the Operating Costs Payments for any partial month shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord at such rate on a pro rata basis. Any other charges payable by Tenant on a monthly basis, as hereinafter provided, shall likewise be prorated.

(d) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon request, as additional rent, a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of the amount of any Rent not paid within three (3) Business Days of the date due hereunder provided that, with respect to the first late payment in any twelve (12) month period, no such late charge shall be due unless and until Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such late payment and a period of five (5) Business Days elapses without such payment being made. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that the sole notice and grace periods for determining when a monetary Default occurs are set forth in Section 14.1, below.

 

7


(e) Rent not paid on the date due shall bear interest at a rate (the “Lease Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the so-called base rate of interest charged from time to time by Bank of America (or its successor), plus five percent (5%) per annum, but in no event lower than ten percent (10%), and (ii) the maximum legally permissible rate, from the due date until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such interest will begin to accrue unless and until Landlord gives Tenant written notice of such late payment and a period of five (5) five Business Days elapses without such payment being made, except that if Landlord shall have given more than three (3) such notices in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall not be entitled to any further notice of its delinquency in the payment of Rent until such time as twenty-four (24) consecutive months shall have elapsed without Tenant having made a late payment of Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the parties acknowledge and agree that the sole notice and grace periods for determining when a monetary Default occurs are set forth in Section 14.1, below. Any notice of late payment under Sections 4.1(d) or (e) or under Section 14.1 shall be deemed to be a notice of late payment for all other purposes hereunder.

(f) All payments of Rent shall be made without set-off, deduction or offset except as expressly provided in this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent shall be absolute, unconditional, and independent and shall not be discharged or otherwise affected by any Requirements now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, or any other restriction on Tenant’s use, or, except as provided in Articles XII and XIII, any casualty or taking, or any failure by Landlord to perform or other occurrence; and except as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant assumes the risk of the foregoing and waives all rights now or hereafter existing to quit or surrender the Premises or any part thereof, to terminate or cancel this Lease, or to assert any defense in the nature of constructive eviction to any action seeking to recover rent. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has been represented by counsel of its choice and has participated fully in the negotiation of this Lease, that Tenant understands that the remedies available to Tenant in the event of a default by Landlord may be more limited than those that would otherwise be available to Tenant under the common law in the absence of certain provisions of this Lease, and that the so-called “dependent covenants” rule as developed under the common law (including, without limitation, the statement of such rule as set forth in the Restatement (Second) of Property, Section 7.1) shall not apply to this Lease or to the relationship of landlord and tenant created hereunder.

(g) This Lease is a NET LEASE, and Landlord shall not be obligated to pay any charge or bear any expense whatsoever against or with respect to the Premises except to the extent herein provided or except as expressly excluded herein, nor shall the Rent payable hereunder be subject to any abatement, reduction or offset whatsoever on account of any such charge or otherwise except as hereinafter provided or provided in Exhibit WORK LETTER.

4.2 REAL ESTATE TAXES

(a) (1) The term “Taxes” shall mean all real estate taxes and assessments (including, without limitation, assessments for public improvements or benefits and assessments for water and sewer infrastructure improvements), and other charges or fees

 

8


in the nature of taxes for municipal services or billed by municipal taxing authorities which at any time during the applicable lease year may be assessed, levied, confirmed or imposed on or in respect of, or be a lien upon, the Building and/or the Lot, or any part thereof, or any estate, right, or interest therein. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event Landlord enters into any agreement governing payments in lieu of taxes, Taxes shall also include any payments made by Landlord pursuant to such agreement in lieu of other taxes to be paid (Landlord agreeing that it shall not enter into any such agreement without Tenant’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall not be required to the extent any such agreement would not apply during the Lease Term, as the same may be extended). Landlord agrees that Tenant’s share of any special assessment shall be determined (whether or not Landlord avails itself of the privilege so to do) as if Landlord had elected to pay the same in installments over the longest period of time permitted by applicable Requirements and Tenant shall be responsible only for those installments (including interest accruing and payable thereon) or parts of installment that are attributable to the applicable lease year. Taxes shall also include, in the lease year paid, all reasonable fees and costs incurred by Landlord in seeking to obtain a reduction of, or a limit on the increase in, any Taxes, regardless of whether any reduction or limitation is obtained. Such expenses shall be net of rebates, credits, and similar items of which Landlord receives the benefit during the applicable lease year. Should the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or any political subdivision thereof, or any other governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Building, (1) impose a tax, assessment, charge or fee, which Landlord shall be required to pay, by way of an express substitution for such Taxes, or (2) impose an income or franchise tax or a tax on rents in express substitution for or in addition to a tax levied against the Building and/or the Lot or any part thereof, then, provided that such tax or fee is imposed generally on owners of similarly situated buildings in the City of Boston and is in the nature of a real estate tax, all such taxes, assessments, fees or charges, computed as if the Building and the Lot were the only property of Landlord, and the income from the Building and the Lot were the only income of Landlord, shall be deemed to constitute Taxes hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph (except with respect to any such taxes assessed or imposed in express substitution of, or in addition to, real estate taxes or any portion thereof in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence), the term “Taxes” shall not include (i) inheritance, estate, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, net income or capital stock tax value-added, transfer gains, excise, excess profits, occupancy or rent, foreign ownership or control, payroll or stamp tax, or any other similar tax or charges imposed upon or assessed against Landlord, including any other tax, assessment, charge or levy on the rent reserved under leases, including this Lease, (ii) realty transfer taxes or real property transfer gains taxes imposed in connection with the sale of or the lease of all or substantially all of the Lot or the Building, (iii) mortgage recording taxes, (iv) income taxes, except with respect to any such taxes assessed or imposed in express substitution of real estate taxes or any portion thereof in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, (v) any Taxes to the extent payable by tenants other than Tenant, or (vi) any penalties, late charges or fines imposed against Landlord with respect to real estate taxes, assessments and the like (other than to the extent resulting from Tenant’s failure to pay amounts when due hereunder) that are otherwise includable within the term “Taxes.”

(b) If any Taxes with respect to the Term shall be adjusted to take into account any abatement or refund, then Landlord shall pay to Tenant within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s receipt of such abatement or refund, Tenant’s share of such abatement or refund either by cash payment or by rent credit against the installments of Base Rent or additional rent next coming due, less Landlord’s reasonable costs or expenses, including, without limitation, appraisal and reasonable attorneys’ fees, of securing such abatement or refund (to the extent not then or previously included in Taxes on account of which Tenant has made or will make a payment of Operating Costs), or if there are insufficient remaining rental obligations to offset Tenant’s share of such abatement or refund, by cash payment to Tenant, or, if the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has no outstanding monetary obligations to Landlord, Landlord shall pay such amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days, but such credit or payment shall in no event exceed the amount originally paid by Tenant. If any amount owing to Tenant under this Section 4.2 and payable either in cash or by means of a credit against the Rent (together with any required interest payable thereon, if any) shall not be fully paid or credited to Tenant on the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease, then Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant the amount not theretofore paid or credited to Tenant. This paragraph shall survive the expiration of this Lease.

(c) Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid, prior to delinquency, any and all taxes and assessments levied upon all trade fixtures, inventories and other personal property placed in and upon the Premises by Tenant.

(d) Following the Commencement Date, if Tenant makes a timely written request to the Landlord to file applications or institute proceedings to reduce the Building’s assessed valuation with the local taxing authorities or in a court of competent jurisdiction for judicial review of such assessed valuation, then Landlord will either diligently, timely and fully prosecute all such applications or notify Tenant that Tenant shall have the right to file, institute, or pursue such applications or proceedings in coordination with Landlord and subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of the submissions and settlement of the same. Whether any such application or proceeding is initiated by Landlord in its own discretion or is pursued at the request of Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to consult with Landlord concerning the pursuit and settlement of any such application or proceeding by Landlord. If Tenant pursues any such application or proceeding at the direction of Landlord pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph, then any abatement proceeds shall be payable to Landlord after deducting Tenant’s reasonable costs or expenses including, without limitation, appraisal and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing such abatement or refund. The computation of Taxes for any period during the Term as well as reimbursement or payments of additional charges, if any, or allowances, if any, under the provisions of this Section 4.2 shall be based on the then-current assessed valuations with adjustments, payments, or credits to be made at a later date when the tax refund, if any, shall be paid to Landlord by the taxing authority as herein provided. The provisions of this paragraph shall not inure to the benefit of any subtenants or licensees of Tenant.

4.3 OPERATING COSTS

(a) With respect to each lease year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Costs for such lease year (the “Operating Costs Payment”); provided, however that with respect any lease year in which the Commencement Date occurs or the expiration of the Lease Term occurs, the Operating Costs Payment for such lease year shall be a prorated amount computed on a per diem basis with respect to the portion of such lease year falling within the Lease Term. Landlord shall provide a statement (the “Estimated Operating Costs Statement”) showing Landlord’s good faith estimate of the Operating Costs and the Operating Costs Payment (the “Estimated Operating Costs Payment”) (i) no later than December 1, 2015, with respect to calendar year 2015 and (ii) for each subsequent lease year, within ninety (90) days following the last day of the immediately preceding lease year. The Estimated Operating Costs Statement shall be produced in accordance with sound real estate accounting principles and on a GAAP basis. Commencing on the Commencement Date and, with respect to subsequent lease years, the first day of the first month of such lease year that commences at least twenty (20) days after the date of the giving of such Estimated Operating Costs Statement, Tenant shall pay an amount equal to the product of (x) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Estimated Operating Costs Payment for such lease year set forth on such Estimated Operating Statement, multiplied by (y) the number of months, to and including such first month, that have elapsed or commenced since the commencement of such lease year. On the first day of each month thereafter throughout such lease year, Tenant shall pay an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of such Estimated Operating Costs Payment. Landlord, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of any lease year, shall issue a reasonably detailed year- end accounting of Operating Expenses for such lease year, including a year-end computation of the Operating Costs Payment for such lease year, if any (the “Year-End Operating Costs Statement”), prepared by a CPA or the property manager. If the total Operating Costs Payment actually paid by Tenant with respect to any lease year is greater than the Operating Costs Payment as shown on the Year-End Operating Costs Statement for such lease year, then Landlord shall pay, within thirty (30) days, at Landlord’s election by Rent credit or cash, in the same manner as described in Section 4.2(b), the balanced owed to Tenant. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term for a period of one (1) year after the final day of the lease year in which the Lease Term expires. If the total of Operating Costs Payment actually paid by Tenant with respect to such lease year is less than the Operating Costs Payment as shown on the Year-End Operating Costs Statement for such lease year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of such difference, as additional rent, within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives the Year-End Operating Costs Statement. Landlord’s failure to prepare and deliver any statements or bills required to be delivered to Tenant under this Section 4.3, or the failure of Landlord to make a demand under this Section 4.3 shall not in any way be deemed to be a waiver of, or cause Landlord to forfeit or surrender its rights to collect, any Operating Costs Payment that may have become due under this Lease, provided that Landlord renders its accounting for the lease year in question within two (2) years after the end of the lease year in question, except in the case of the lease year in which the Expiration Date occurs, in which event such accounting must be rendered within one (1) year after the Expiration Date.

If Tenant reasonably requests in writing at least ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of any calendar year, Landlord shall bid any service, other than management services, that is subject to renewal (i.e. there is no remaining term under the applicable service

 

11


contract) and included within Operating Costs for the following calendar year to at least two qualified service providers acceptable to Landlord (provided that such bidding requirements do not apply to any service for which annual payments for such service are reasonably expected to be less than $50,000).

(b) As used in this Lease, the term “lease year” shall mean each calendar year (or part thereof) in which any part of the Term occurs.

(c) As used in this Lease, the term “Operating Costs” shall mean, subject to the limitations set forth herein, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred on an accrual basis by Landlord related and in connection with operating, insuring, repairing, equipping, maintaining, replacing, managing, cleaning and protecting (collectively, the “Operation”) the Building, the Building’s heating, ventilating, electrical, plumbing, and other systems, and the Lot (collectively, “Property”), including, without limitation, the following:

(1) To the extent Landlord provides such services to the Property, either at Tenant’s request or in order to fulfill its obligations under Section 8.2 or Article IX, all expenses incurred by Landlord or its agents which shall be related to employment of day and night supervisors, janitors, handymen, carpenters, engineers, firemen, mechanics, electricians, plumbers, guards, cleaners and other personnel (including amounts incurred for wages, salaries and other compensation for services, payroll, social security, unemployment and similar taxes, workmen’s compensation insurance, disability benefits, pensions, hospitalization, retirement plans and group insurance, uniforms and working clothes and the cleaning thereof, and expenses imposed on Landlord or its agents pursuant to any collective bargaining agreement), for services engaged in the Operation of the Property, and personnel engaged in supervision of any of the persons mentioned above but in no event shall any of the above costs apply to any personnel above the level of property manager (or its equivalent position); provided, however, that the costs of employing personnel who work less than full-time in connection with the Operation of the Property shall be equitably adjusted;

(2) The cost of services, materials and supplies furnished or used in the Operation of the Property, including, without limitation, the cost to perform Landlord’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 and Article IX of this Lease except to the extent otherwise separately billed to Tenant as an additional service;

(1) Capital replacements or improvements (which are distinguished for purposes of this Lease from ordinary repairs and maintenance) of the roof or any structural elements of the Building, except that, if Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall make a capital replacement or improvement (determined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) of the roof or any structural elements of the Building for the purpose of reducing or conserving the use of energy in the Building or reducing other Operating Costs, the annual amortization of such capital replacement or improvement amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life thereof utilized under GAAP (as reasonably determined by Landlord) with interest at the actual rate on any debt obtained to finance such replacement (or, if not financed by debt, with deemed interest at the rate of two points above the so-called base rate or prime rate from time to time announced by Bank of America or its successor) shall be included in Operating Costs, provided that, in the event Landlord’s estimate of the annual savings from a capital replacement or improvement intended to reduce Operating Costs shall exceed such annual amortization, Operating Costs shall include, in lieu of such amortization, Landlord’s estimate of such annual savings until the cost of such capital replacement or improvement shall have been completely amortized.

(2) Management fees for the Property (unless otherwise expressly agreed by Landlord and Tenant in writing);

(3) Costs and expenses which are properly allocable to other properties of Landlord (e.g., where a service is provided at a single cost to both the Property and another property of Landlord), with said allocation to be determined and calculated by Landlord in its reasonable discretion to exclude the costs fairly attributable to such other property;

Such right to examine the records shall be exercisable: (a) upon reasonable advance notice to Landlord and at reasonable times during Landlord’s business hours; (b) only during the 180-day period following Tenant’s receipt of the Year-End Operating Costs Statement; and (c) not more than once each lease year. Each Year-End Operating Costs Statement shall be deemed conclusive except as to items specifically disputed in writing by notice from Tenant to Landlord given within sixty (60) days after the 180-day period provided for above absent manifest error. Any examination of Landlord’s books and records permitted hereunder shall be conducted by an employee employed in the finance group of Tenant, an independent certified public accountant retained by Tenant or an auditing firm or other real estate professional reasonably approved by Landlord for such purpose (each, an “examiner”) at the place where they are regularly maintained in the City of Boston and during the 180-day period provided for above. The fees and expenses incurred in obtaining such an examination shall be borne by Tenant, unless such examination confirms that Tenant has overpaid its share of Operating Costs by more than five percent (5%), in which event the reasonable third party fees and expenses incurred by Tenant in obtaining such examination shall be borne by Landlord. In no event shall Tenant propose, nor shall Landlord ever be required to approve, any examiner of Tenant who is being paid on a contingent fee basis.

(2) As a condition precedent to performing any such examination of Landlord’s books and records, Tenant and its examiners shall be required to execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord agreeing to keep confidential any information that they discover about Landlord or the Building in connection with such examination. Without limiting the foregoing, such examiners shall also be required to agree that they will not represent any other tenant in the Building in connection with examinations of Landlord’s books and records. Notwithstanding any prior approval of any examiners by Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to rescind such approval at any time if in Landlord’s reasonable judgment the examiners have breached any confidentiality undertaking to Landlord.

ARTICLE V

USE OF PREMISES

5.1 PERMITTED USE; LANDLORD COVENANT REGARDING CERTAIN USES

Tenant agrees that the Premises shall be used and occupied by Tenant only for the purposes specified as the Permitted Use, and for no other purpose or purposes.

 

17


Tenant shall comply and shall cause its employees, agents, and invitees to comply with the Rules and Regulations attached to this Lease as Exhibit RULES (the “Rules and Regulations”) and such other reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord shall from time to time establish for the proper regulation of the Building and the Lot, provided that Landlord gives Tenant reasonable advance notice to Tenant of such other rules and regulations. Landlord shall enforce any such rules and regulations in a commercially reasonable manner. To the extent that any Rule or Regulation or any additional or amended Rule or Regulation conflicts with the terms of this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall control. Tenant’s compliance with any such additional Rule or Regulation shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to contest the reasonableness of the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any dispute concerning the reasonableness of a new or modified Rule or Regulation shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Article XX hereof, and Tenant shall not be bound to comply with any new or modified Rule or Regulation (i) during any period of arbitration with respect to the reasonableness of the same, or (ii) if compliance would require Tenant to make an actual out- of-pocket payment in excess of what Tenant would otherwise be required to pay absent such additional Rule or Regulation. In addition, any additional Rule or Regulation that would adversely affect the normal conduct of Tenant’s business shall be deemed to be unreasonable.

5.2 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

(a) Tenant agrees that no trade or occupation shall be conducted in the Premises or use made thereof which will be unlawful, improper, or contrary to any law, ordinance, by-law, code, rule, regulation or order applicable in the municipality in which the Premises are located or which will create a public or private nuisance to Landlord or anyone claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to Tenant’s right to contest hereinafter set forth (Landlord acknowledging that the use of the Premises for general, executive, and administrative offices, generally, as well as other uses that are common in similar buildings located in the Fort Point Channel district of Boston shall not be deemed “improper” for purposes of this sentence). Tenant shall obtain any and all approvals, permits, licenses, variances and the like from governmental or quasi-governmental authorities, including without limitation any Architectural Access Board and Board of Fire Underwriters (collectively, “Approvals”) which are required for Tenant’s use of the Premises, including, without limitation, as may be required to perform any construction work and installations, alterations, or additions made by Tenant to, in, on, or about the Premises; provided, however, that Tenant shall not seek or apply for any Approvals without first having given Landlord a reasonable opportunity to review any applications for Approvals and all materials and plans to be submitted in connection therewith and obtaining Landlord’s written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. In any event, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs, expenses, and fees in connection with obtaining all Approvals (subject to reimbursement from the Allowance pursuant to Section II(B) of the Work Letter). Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for compliance of the Premises including, without limitation, any alterations it may make to the Premises, with the applicable requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, Pub. Law 101-336, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et. seq. and the regulations and Accessibility Guidelines for Buildings and Facilities issued pursuant thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (collectively, the “ADA”), provided that Landlord consents to the Alterations, if any, necessary to attain such compliance. If Landlord refuses to consent to the construction of such Alterations necessary to comply with the ADA, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in breach of the immediately

 

18


preceding sentence. Landlord shall be responsible for compliance with the provisions of the ADA with respect to the exterior of the Building, and the sidewalks and walkways on the Lot to the extent compliance is necessitated by Landlord’s Work. To the extent that the need for compliance as to such areas shall arise for any reasons other than Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall perform the same at Tenant’s expense. Landlord and Tenant shall indemnify and hold each other harmless from and against any claims, damages, costs, and liabilities arising out of Landlord’s or Tenant’s failure or alleged failure, as the case may be, to comply with the ADA as set forth above, which indemnification obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Landlord and Tenant each agree that the allocation of responsibility for ADA compliance shall not require Landlord or Tenant to supervise, monitor, or otherwise review the responsibilities for ADA compliance as set forth herein. Tenant’s inability to obtain or delay in obtaining any such Approval shall in no event reduce, delay, or terminate Tenant’s rental, payment, and performance obligations hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided in Exhibit WORK LETTER. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, (i) make all installations, repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises (and every part thereof) required by any law, ordinance, by-law, code, rule, regulation or order of any governmental or quasi-governmental authority subject to Tenant’s right to contest hereinafter set forth; (ii) keep the Premises equipped with all required safety equipment and appliances; and (iii) comply with all Requirements and the requirements of Landlord’s and Tenant’s insurers applicable to the Premises (and every part thereof and utility and Building systems located in or passing through the Premises), Building and Lot, subject to Tenant’s right to contest hereinafter set forth; and provided that in all events the use of the Premises for the Permitted Use shall be permitted at all times. Tenant may reasonably and in good faith contest the validity of any Requirement or the application thereof or any obligation under this Article V by an appropriate proceeding. Any such proceeding instituted by Tenant must be commenced as soon as is reasonably practicable after the issuance of any notification by the applicable governmental authority with respect to required compliance with such Requirement and shall be prosecuted to final adjudication with reasonable diligence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant promptly shall comply with any such Requirement and compliance shall not be deferred if at any time there is an emergency, the Building or any part thereof is in danger of being forfeited or lost, or Landlord is in danger of being subject to criminal or civil liability or penalty, by reason of noncompliance therewith. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and all mortgagees of the Building against any cost or expense incurred by Landlord or any mortgagee by reason of such contest by Tenant in accordance with the provisions hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall not be obligated to perform any structural changes necessary to comply with any Requirements, unless compliance shall be required by reason of (i) any cause or condition arising out of any Alterations or installations in the Premises made by Tenant, or (ii) Tenant’s use, manner of use, or occupancy on behalf of Tenant of the Premises, or (iii) any breach of any of Tenant’s covenants or agreements in this Lease, or (iv) Tenant’s use or manner of use or occupancy of the Premises as a “place of public accommodation” within the meaning of the ADA.

(b) Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor in the Premises exceeding the lesser of (a) the floor load per square foot of area which such floor was designed to carry and (b) the floor load per square foot of area which is allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to reasonably prescribe the weight and position of all business machines and mechanical equipment, including safes, which shall be placed in the Premises so as to distribute the weight.

 

19


(c) Landlord need not comply with any Requirements for which Landlord is responsible hereunder for so long as Landlord shall in good faith be diligently contesting, at its sole cost and expense, through appropriate proceedings brought in accordance with applicable Requirements, Landlord’s obligation to comply therewith; provided that (a) neither Tenant nor any Related Corporation of Tenant shall be subject to imprisonment or prosecution for a crime, nor shall the Premises or any part thereof be subject to being condemned or vacated, nor shall the certificate of occupancy for the Building be suspended or threatened to be suspended by reason of such noncompliance or by reason of such contest, and (b) before the commencement of such contest, if Tenant or any Related Corporation of Tenant may be subject to any civil fines or economic penalties or other criminal penalties or if Tenant may be liable to any independent third party as a result of such noncompliance, Landlord shall indemnify Tenant (and any such Related Corporation of Tenant) against the cost of such noncompliance and liability resulting from or incurred in connection with such contest or noncompliance. Landlord agrees that the Base Building Work (but without regard for any Alterations, including the Tenant Improvements, or Tenant’s particular use of the Premises) will be in compliance with all applicable Requirements, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.

5.3 INSURANCE RISKS

Tenant shall not permit any use of the Premises which will make voidable or, unless Tenant pays the extra insurance premium attributable thereto as provided below, increase the premiums for any insurance on the Building or which shall be contrary to any law or regulation from time to time established by the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association (or any successor organization) or which shall require any alteration or addition to the Building (it being acknowledged that use of the Premises for office uses, generally, will not result in a breach of the provisions of this sentence). Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after written demand therefor, reimburse Landlord for the costs of all extra insurance premiums caused by Tenant’s particular use of the Premises, as opposed to office use, generally. Any such amounts shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder.

5.4 ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s written consent in each instance, connect to the electrical distribution system any fixtures, appliances, or equipment which will operate individually or collectively in excess of the capacity of, or otherwise overload, the electrical system serving the Premises, and Landlord may audit Tenant’s use of electric power to determine Tenant’s compliance herewith. If Landlord, in its sole discretion, permits such excess usage, Tenant will pay, as additional rent, for the cost of power necessary to accommodate such usage, together with the cost of installing any additional risers, meters, and/or other facilities that may be required to furnish and/or measure such excess power to the Premises. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense after completion of the Tenant Improvements, may reallocate the electric capacity available to the Premises to other floors included in the Premises (provided that, at or prior to the end of the Term, Tenant removes any Alterations that are required in connection with any such reallocation of electric capacity and restores such affected portion of the Premises to the electric capacity available prior to such Alterations).

 

20


5.5 TENANT’S OPERATIONAL COVENANTS

(a) Affirmative Covenants

In regard to the use and occupancy of the Premises, Tenant will at its expense: (1) keep the inside and outside of all glass in the doors and the interior windows of the Premises reasonably clean and replace promptly any cracked or broken glass with glass of similar or like quality; (2) maintain the Premises in a clean, orderly and sanitary condition; (3) keep any garbage, trash, rubbish or other refuse in appropriate office containers within the interior of the Premises until removed; (4) keep all mechanical apparatus free of vibration and loud noise which may be transmitted beyond the Premises; and (5) comply with and observe all reasonable, non- discriminatory rules and regulations established by Landlord from time to time subject to the provisions of Section 5.1.

(b) Negative Covenants

In regard to the use and occupancy of the Premises and exterior areas, Tenant will not: (1) place or maintain any trash, refuse or other articles on the sidewalks or elsewhere so as to obstruct any exterior stairway, sidewalk area; (2) permit undue accumulations of garbage, trash, rubbish or other refuse within or without the Premises; (3) cause or permit objectionable odors to emanate or to be dispelled from the Premises; or (4) commit, or suffer to be committed, any physical waste upon the Premises or any public or private nuisance, or use or permit the use of any portion of the Premises for any unlawful purpose. Further, Tenant agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, use any contractors or service providers if, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, their use may create any difficulty, whether in the nature of a labor dispute or otherwise, in the construction, maintenance and/or operation of the Building or any part thereof. Tenant shall be responsible for promptly resolving a labor dispute related to, or arising out of, any contractors or service providers retained by Tenant.

5.6 SIGNS

Tenant shall not place any signs, placards, or the like on the Building or in the Premises that will be visible from outside of the Premises (including without limitation both interior and exterior surfaces of the windows) except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.6.

So long as no Default is then continuing, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, subject to the prior written consent of Landlord with respect to the size, design, method of installation and location of such signage, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided such signage is installed and maintained in compliance with Article VI of this Lease and all applicable Requirements, to install and maintain (i) signs identifying Tenant (or a Successor Entity) and up to two (2) permitted subtenants as an occupant of the Building on the exterior façade of the Building identifying Tenant in a manner consistent with similar first class buildings in the downtown Boston area, and (ii) on behalf of itself or any party that is a permitted assignee or subtenant pursuant to Article VII, lobby signage in the main first floor entrance lobby included within the Premises identifying Tenant and such assignees or subtenant.

 

21


In addition, Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, install any signage within other areas of the Premises without Landlord’s consent, provided that such signage is installed and maintained in compliance with Article VI of this Lease and all applicable Requirements and provided that such signage is not visible from the exterior of the Building (i.e., not visible from the street or, if above street level, not visible from the exterior of the Building in a manner that is inconsistent with or incompatible with a first-class office building in the City of Boston). Tenant shall be responsible for maintaining any signage installed by Tenant pursuant to this Section in good condition and repair and shall remove such signage at the expiration of the Lease Term (as same may be extended). Tenant may not install any signage on the Building which identifies an entity or business other than Tenant or a permitted assignee or subtenant pursuant to Article VII.

Landlord shall not, without Tenant’s prior written consent, grant any signage rights to other tenants on the Building’s exterior (or within the Premises).

Landlord shall not place any signage in the Premises or on the exterior of the Building except with Tenant’s prior written consent or where required pursuant to applicable Requirements (e.g., exit signs, signage identifying stand pipes, etc.).

5.7 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Landlord represents to Tenant that to Landlord’s knowledge, as of the Commencement Date, the Premises shall be free of Hazardous Materials that would violate Requirements except as disclosed pursuant to Exhibit EXISTING CONDITIONS and Hazardous Materials introduced to the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party. In furtherance of, and not in limitation of, the foregoing, Landlord discloses to Tenant, and Tenant acknowledges such disclosure, that the interior of a non-operational boiler which shall remain in the basement of the Building contains asbestos-containing materials. Landlord further represents to Tenant that, as of the date of this Lease, there are no CFC-based refrigerants in the Building’s base building HVAC system. Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, to remove or remediate (or cause the removal or remediation of) any Hazardous Materials (i) found in the Building during the performance of the Landlord’s Work (except to the extent the responsibility of Tenant as provided below) solely to the extent such Hazardous Materials are existing in the Premises in violation of Landlord’s representation set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph or (ii) introduced to the Premises by Landlord after the Commencement Date and during the Lease Term, to the extent required by Requirements. Tenant shall not use, handle, transport, store, or dispose of any oil, hazardous or toxic substances, materials or wastes (collectively “Hazardous Materials”) in, under, on or about the Premises, the Building and/or the Lot except for usual and customary office products such as toner or cleaners which contain Hazardous Materials; provided, that (i) such cleansers, office supplies and products are ordinarily and customarily used in the ordinary course of first-class business offices and (ii) any such use is in strict compliance with all applicable Requirements. Without limiting the foregoing, any Hazardous Materials in the Premises, and all containers therefor, shall be used, kept, stored and disposed of with due care and in conformity with all applicable Requirements. If the transportation, storage, use, handling, or disposal of Hazardous Materials in the Premises, the Building, the Lot or anywhere on the Property arising out of or resulting from the acts or omissions of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, invitees, guests or others acting by, through or under Tenant, or Tenant’s use of the Premises, results in (1) contamination of the soil, air, surface or ground water or (2)

 

22


loss, damage or harm to person(s) or property, then Tenant agrees (i) to notify Landlord immediately of any contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage, (ii) after consultation with and approval by Landlord, to clean up all contamination in full compliance with all applicable statutes, regulations and standards, and (iii) to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, suits, causes of action, costs and fees, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising from or connected with any such contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage. The provisions of this Section 5.7 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. No consent or approval of Landlord shall in any way be construed as imposing upon Landlord any liability for the means, methods, or manner of removal, containment or other compliance with applicable Requirements for and with respect to the foregoing. The terms of this Section 5.7 shall apply to any transportation, handling, storage, use or disposal of Hazardous Materials irrespective of whether Tenant has obtained Landlord’s consent therefor.

ARTICLE VI

INSTALLATIONS, ALTERATIONS, AND ADDITIONS

6.1 (a) Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, improvements, or other physical changes in, about or to the Premises (collectively, together with the Tenant Improvements, “Alterations”) (other than Permitted Alterations) without Landlord’s prior consent in each instance. Landlord agrees that Alterations may include the construction of a patio for use by Tenant and its employees near the loading dock serving the Building (the “Patio”), but Tenant agrees that construction of the Patio shall not be deemed a Permitted Alteration (as defined below) regardless of amount, and Landlord agrees that the Patio shall not be deemed a Specialty Alteration (as defined below). Landlord may condition its approval of any Specialty Alterations on Tenant’s obligation to remove the same upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to Alterations so long as such Alterations (i) are non-structural and do not adversely affect the Building systems, (ii) are performed only by Landlord’s designated contractors or by contractors or mechanics reasonably approved by Landlord to perform such Alterations, (iii) affect only the Premises, and (iv) are in compliance with all applicable Requirements. Landlord shall not require Tenant to use overtime labor to execute its Alterations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 6.1, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining the prior consent of Landlord, but upon prior notice to Landlord as provided below, to make Alterations to the Premises where: (i) the same are within the interior of the Premises, and do not affect the exterior of the Building; (ii) the same do not affect the roof or any structural element of the Building, or the fire protection systems of the Building; (iii) the cost of any individual Alteration shall not exceed $2,500,000 and the aggregate cost of said Alterations made by Tenant during the Lease Term shall not exceed $5,000,000 in cost; (iv) Tenant shall comply with the provisions of this Lease and if such work increases the cost of insurance or taxes, Tenant shall pay for any such increase in cost; and (v) Tenant gives Landlord at least three (3) days’ prior notice describing such work in reasonable detail, accompanied by copies of plans and specifications therefor (to the extent plans and specifications are typically prepared in accordance with such work) (the “Permitted Alterations”).

 

23


(b) Prior to making any Alterations, Tenant, at its expense, shall (i) submit to Landlord for its written approval in accordance with subsection (a) above, detailed plans and specifications (including layout, architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, sprinkler and structural drawings) of each proposed Alteration, (ii) obtain all permits, approvals and certificates required by any governmental authorities, (iii) furnish to Landlord certificates of worker’s compensation insurance (covering all persons to be employed by Tenant, and Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors in connection with such Alteration), commercial general liability (including property damage coverage) and builder’s risk insurance coverage (issued on a completed value basis) or similar insurance, all in such form, with such companies, for such periods and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require, naming Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent (if applicable), and their respective employees and agents, and any mortgagee as additional insureds (notice of which and the address of which having been provided to Tenant), and (iv) if requested by Landlord for Alterations costing more than $250,000 in the aggregate, furnish to Landlord such other evidence of Tenant’s ability to complete and to fully pay for such Alterations as is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (which may include requiring Tenant to furnish Landlord prior to commencement of any such work a statutory lien bond or other security acceptable to Landlord assuring that any work by Tenant will be completed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and fully paid for). Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord shall exercise reasonable efforts to cooperate with Tenant in obtaining any permits, approvals or certificates required to be obtained by Tenant in connection with any permitted Alteration (if the provisions of the laws, requirements, regulations, rules, codes, ordinances or guidelines applicable to the Building and Lot (each, a “Requirement”) require that Landlord join in such application), provided Landlord shall incur no cost, expense or liability in connection therewith (other than any de minimis expense). Landlord shall approve, disapprove with conditions, or disapprove Tenant’s request for Landlord’s approval of any such plans and specifications for Alterations within ten (10) Business Days from the submission thereof to Landlord. If the plans and specifications are disapproved with conditions or disapproved, Landlord shall set forth in writing its reasons for such disapproval in reasonable detail, and Tenant shall revise the plans and specifications in accordance with Landlord’s objections thereto and shall promptly resubmit revised plans and specifications to Landlord. If Landlord fails to respond to any request for consent to any Alterations within ten (10) Business Days after receiving such request, then Tenant may give Landlord a reminder notice, which reminder notice shall contain the following caption in bold and capitalized type:

YOUR CONSENT TO THE PROPOSED ALTERATION(S) AND THE PLANS THEREFOR (OR ANY RESUBMISSION, AS THE CASE MAY BE) SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS FROM THE DATE OF YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE.

If Landlord fails to grant or deny the requested consent within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of such reminder notice, Landlord’s consent thereof shall be deemed given. Upon Tenant’s request, Landlord, at Tenant’s cost and expense, shall join in any applications (including, without limitation, building department applications or the equivalent thereof) for any permits, approvals, or certificates required to be obtained by Tenant in connection with any Alteration (if Requirements shall require that Landlord join in such application) and shall otherwise, without additional expense to Landlord

 

24


(other than any de minimis expense), fully, promptly, and diligently cooperate with Tenant and its architects and designers in connection therewith, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to incur any cost or expense, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements (unless the same relate to the review of customary application forms and the like) unless paid for in advance by Tenant, or suffer any liability in connection therewith. Either party may submit to arbitration pursuant to Article XX any dispute regarding the reasonableness of Landlord’s withholding, conditioning, or delaying of its consent to Tenant’s plans and specifications for any Alteration(s), or any portion thereof.

(c) Tenant may, upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Landlord, file plans for any proposed Alterations with the buildings department or any other applicable governmental authority before Landlord’s approval of such plans; provided that (1) Tenant simultaneously delivers to Landlord a set of such plans if the same have not been delivered to Landlord previously, and (2) in no event shall Tenant be permitted to commence the work or to pull or otherwise obtain the permit or licenses to be issued by the buildings department authorizing such work until Landlord has approved such plans (or such approval has been deemed given in accordance with this Lease).

(d) Within thirty (30) days following completion of any Alterations, Tenant, at its expense, shall obtain and deliver to Landlord: (i) copies of paid invoices covering all of the Alterations, (ii) final waivers of lien from all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers performing work or providing material in connection with the Alterations, (iii) proof of the satisfactory completion of all required inspections and the issuance of any required approvals and sign-offs by Governmental Authorities with respect thereto, (iv) “as-built” plans and specifications for such Alterations, (v) a written certification in the form of the AIA Document G702 (or, if such document is no longer in use, such other form as Landlord shall reasonably approve) from Tenant’s architect stating that (A) the Alterations have been completed in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, (B) such work has been paid in full by Tenant, and (C) all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen have delivered to Tenant waivers of lien with respect to such work (copies of which shall be included with such architect’s certification), and (vi) such other documents and information as Landlord may reasonably request.

(e) All Alterations shall be performed (1) in a good and first-class workerlike manner and free from defects, (2) in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and by contractors approved by Landlord, (3) excepting only decorative alterations, under the supervision of a licensed architect reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (4) in compliance with all Requirements, the terms of this Lease, all reasonable and non-discriminatorily enforced procedures and regulations then prescribed by Landlord for coordinating all work performed in the Building. Any new procedures and regulations enacted by Landlord after the approval of any Alterations shall not apply to the performance of Alterations until after such Alterations have been substantially completed, except to the extent that any new procedures and regulations have been made and Tenant has been given notice of the same before the bidding of a contract for the Alterations in question. If Tenant disputes the reasonableness of any

 

25


change or addition to the procedures and regulations hereafter adopted by Landlord, the dispute shall be determined by expedited arbitration in accordance with Article XX. Any such determination shall be final and conclusive upon the parties hereto. All materials and equipment to be used in the Premises shall be of at least as good quality as standard materials used in other areas of the Building, and at least equal to the applicable reasonable standards for the Building then established by Landlord. No such materials or equipment shall be subject to any lien or other encumbrance, except that Tenant may lease or finance purchases of Tenant’s Property in accordance with Section 7.10.

(f) All voice, data, video, audio and other low voltage control transport system cabling and/or cable bundles installed in the Building by Tenant or its contractor (collectively, “Cables”) shall be in compliance with all Requirements and installed and routed in accordance with a routing plan showing “as built” or “as installed” configurations of cable pathways, outlet identification numbers, locations of all wall, ceiling and floor penetrations, riser cable routing and conduit routing (if applicable), and such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. The routing plan shall be available to Landlord and its agents at the Building upon request. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease, Tenant shall remove all Cables from the Premises to the extent the same must be removed per the Requirements.

(g) All personal property, trade fixtures and other movable equipment (“Tenant’s Property”) shall be and remain the property of Tenant; Tenant may remove the same at any time on or before the expiration date and shall remove the same from the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Tenant shall repair and restore, in a good and workerlike manner, any damage to the Premises or the Building resulting from or caused by Tenant’s removal of any Tenant’s Property or Alterations and if Tenant fails to do so, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, within thirty (30) days of demand, for Landlord’s cost of repairing and restoring such damage. Any Tenant’s Property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and Landlord may remove and dispose of same, and repair and restore any damage caused thereby, at Tenant’s cost and without liability to or recourse by Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant. The foregoing provisions shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

(h) [Intentionally Omitted].

(i) Tenant, at its expense, shall discharge any lien or charge filed or arising against the Premises and/or the Property (or any part thereof) arising out of or resulting from any work or service claimed to have been done by or on behalf of, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice thereof by payment or filing the bond required by law or otherwise.

(j) Tenant shall pay promptly to Landlord or its designee, upon demand, all reasonable, third-party, out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection with Tenant’s Alterations, including costs incurred in connection with (a) Landlord’s review of the Alterations (including review of requests for approval thereof) and (b) the

 

26


provision of Building personnel during the performance of any Alteration to operate elevators or otherwise to facilitate any Alterations, except that no such costs and expenses shall be reimbursable or payable by Tenant with respect to the Tenant Improvements except as set forth on Exhibit WORK LETTER. Upon Tenant’s written request in connection with the submission of Alterations for review, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a good faith, non-binding estimate of the anticipated costs described in the immediately preceding sentence with respect to such Alterations. In addition, if Tenant’s Alterations shall cost more than $100,000.00, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its designee, upon demand, an administrative fee in the amount of three percent (3%) of the total cost of such Alterations, in respect of the performance of such Alterations and the scheduling of equipment, facilities and personnel in connection therewith provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the Tenant Improvements.

(k) The approval of plans or specifications, or consent by Landlord to the making of any Alterations, shall not constitute Landlord’s agreement or representation that such plans, specifications or Alterations comply with any applicable codes, laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, or by-laws. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant or any other party in connection with Landlord’s approval of any plans and specifications for any Alterations, or Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s performing any Alterations.

(l) All Alterations (including the Tenant Improvements), including fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances attached to, or built into, the Premises at the commencement of or during the Lease Term, whether or not by, or at the expense of, Tenant shall be and remain a part of the Premises and shall be the property of Landlord. Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the same except as expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant may at any time remove any built-in equipment (including without limitation supplemental HVAC units, security systems, wireless communication systems, satellite dishes and cellular repeaters/antennae) installed by or on behalf of Tenant (and exclusively serving Tenant) except to the extent installed as part of the Tenant Improvements and provided that such removal does not cause any damage to the Premises (other than incidental damage associated with the removal process that is repaired by Tenant) or leave the Premises in untenantable condition. Landlord may condition its approval of any Alterations on Tenant removing Specialty Alterations (as defined below) contained therein prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, provided, however, that Tenant shall not be required to remove any Specialty Alterations (or a particular Specialty Alteration or portion thereof) from the Premises to the extent that Landlord, in good faith, determines that the next tenant leasing the Premises after the Expiration Date desires that such Specialty Alterations (or any portion thereof) remain in the Premises upon the commencement of the term of such tenant’s lease (Landlord agreeing that it shall, upon written notice given to Tenant no later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, identify to Tenant any Specialty Alterations to remain a part of the Premises on account of the operation of this sentence, in which case Tenant shall have no obligation to remove such Specialty Alterations so identified by Landlord). If, at the time that Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to any Alteration(s) or notifies Landlord of a Permitted Alteration, Tenant requests that Landlord inform Tenant whether Landlord will require Tenant to remove any Alteration(s) that constitute Specialty

 

27


Alterations at the end of the Lease Term, Landlord will so advise Tenant at or before the time Landlord consents to such Specialty Alterations. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant with respect to whether Tenant will be required to remove any of such Specialty Alterations at the time Landlord gives (or is deemed to have given) its consent to such Specialty Alterations, then Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord a reminder notice, which reminder notice shall contain the following caption on the first page thereof in bold and capitalized type:

YOU SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE ELECTED NOT TO REQUIRE TENANT TO REMOVE THE SPECIALTY ALTERATIONS PROPOSED BY TENANT SET FORTH IN TENANT’S NOTICE GIVEN PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.1(L) OF THE LEASE DATED                      , 2014 IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO SUCH NOTICE WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE.

If Tenant sends a reminder notice to Landlord as aforesaid and Landlord fails to respond to Tenant within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such reminder notice, then Landlord shall, automatically and without further act by any party, be deemed to have elected not to require Tenant to remove such Specialty Alterations. Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant arising under this Section 6.1(l) shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with Article XX. Tenant shall have no other removal obligation other than the obligation set forth above. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Specialty Alterations” shall mean Alterations consisting of kitchens (other than pantries, microwaves, sinks, refrigerators, and coffee machines), satellite dishes and cellular repeaters/antennae, Roof Equipment, generator or other emergency power systems, executive and unisex bathrooms (except as required by Requirements), wiring and other equipment installed within or beneath raised computer or trading floors, vaults, vertical and/or horizontal transportation systems, dumbwaiters, pneumatic tubes, any penetrations or other Alterations to the floor slab (to the extent created by Tenant) other than typical core drillings for conduit, any internal staircases, changes to the Fire Stairs described in Section 2.2, and other Alterations of a similar character that are not consistent with standard office installations.

ARTICLE VII

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

7.1 PROHIBITION

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise transfer, voluntarily or involuntarily, this Lease or any interest herein or sublet (which term without limitation, shall include granting of concessions, licenses, and the like) or allow any other person or entity to occupy the whole or any part of the Premises, without, in each instance, having first received the express consent of Landlord as provided in this Article VII. Except as provided in Section 7.7, any assignment, mortgage, pledge, transfer of this Lease or subletting of the whole or any part of the Premises by Tenant without Landlord’s express consent shall be invalid, void and of no force or effect. This prohibition includes, without limitation, any assignment, subletting, or other transfer which

 

28


would occur by operation of law, merger, consolidation, reorganization, acquisition, transfer, or other change of Tenant’s corporate, ownership, and/or proprietary structure, including, without limitation, a change in the partners of any partnership, a change in the members and/or managers of any limited liability company, and/or the sale, pledge, or other transfer of any of the issued or outstanding capital stock of any corporate Tenant.

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.7, below, if Tenant is a corporation, the transfer (by one or more transfers) of a majority of the stock of Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease provided that such transfer results in a change in control of Tenant. For purposes of this Section 7.7 the term “transfers” shall be deemed to include the issuance of new stock which results in a majority of the stock of Tenant being held by a person or entity that does not hold a majority of the stock of Tenant on the date hereof. If Tenant is a partnership, the transfer (by one or more transfers) of a majority interest in the partnership shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease. If Tenant is a limited liability company, trust, or any other legal entity, the transfer (by one or more transfers) of a majority of the beneficial ownership interests in, or the right(s) to manage and/or direct the operations of, such entity, however characterized, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease.

In any case where Landlord shall consent to any assignment or subletting or if an assignment or sublet is permitted without Landlord’s consent hereunder, Tenant originally named herein shall remain fully liable for all obligations of Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the rent and other amounts provided under this Lease and such liability shall not be affected in any way by any future amendment, modification, or extension of this Lease or any further assignment, other transfer, or subleasing and Tenant hereby irrevocably consents to any and all such transactions and no amendment of this Lease or waiver of, or consent to or departure from, any of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall constitute a novation or otherwise release any predecessor tenants; provided, however, that if such an assignment shall require Landlord’s consent hereunder, Tenant shall not be bound to the extent of any amendment to this Lease solely increasing the obligations of the assignor Tenant hereunder (other than an amendment evidencing rights expressly granted to Tenant hereunder, such as pursuant to a right of extension) occurring after such consent to assignment. It shall be a condition of the validity of any permitted assignment or subletting that the assignee or sublessee agree directly with Landlord, in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, to be bound by all obligations of Tenant hereunder jointly and severally with Tenant originally named herein, accruing from and after the date of the assignment or sublet, as applicable, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay all Rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease and the covenant against further assignment or other transfer or subletting, but for such subletting only with respect to the portion of the Premises so subleased. If the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may at any time and from time to time while a Default of Tenant is continuing, collect Rent and other charges from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved.

7.2 FURTHER ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Landlord’s consent to any assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s express consent to any further assignment or subletting to the extent required hereunder and using the same standards as are applicable to an assignment,

 

29


subletting or underletting by Tenant. In no event shall any permitted subtenant or assignee assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet any portion of the Premises, or otherwise suffer or permit any portion of the Premises to be used or occupied by others except subject to, and in compliance with, all of the terms, covenants and provisions of this Lease, which shall be applicable to any such further assignment or sublease to the extent required hereunder and using the same standards as are applicable to an assignment, subletting or underletting by Tenant.

Except where Landlord shall have exercised its option to terminate this Lease under Section 7.3 below, no transfer of any interest in this Lease, and no execution and delivery of any instrument of assumption pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, shall in any way affect or reduce any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, but this Lease and all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as the obligations of a principal (and not as the obligations of a guarantor or surety). From and after any assignment of this Lease, the obligations of each such transferee and of the original Tenant named as such in this Lease to fulfill all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall be joint and several. Each violation of any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions of this Lease, whether by act or omission, by any transferee, shall constitute a violation thereof by Tenant.

7.3 NOTICE OF ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE; TERMINATION RIGHTS

If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises, then Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which notice shall be accompanied by (a) the date Tenant desires the assignment or sublease to be effective, (b) the material business terms on which Tenant would assign this Lease or sublet all or such portion of the Premises, and (c) in the case of a sublease, a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet. Such notice shall also include (i) a true and complete statement reasonably detailing the identity of the proposed assignee or subtenant, the nature of its business, and its proposed use of the Premises, (ii) current financial information with respect to the proposed assignee or subtenant, including, without limitation, its most recent financial statements, and (iii) such other information Landlord may reasonably request.

Such notice, if with respect to an assignment of this Lease or a sublet resulting in the sublet of at least 75% of the Premises in the aggregate (but expressly excluding permitted transfers pursuant to Section 7.7 below other than Minor Sublets) for at least 75% of the remaining term, shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord shall be granted the right, at Landlord’s option, to terminate this Lease, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. Such option may be exercised by notice from Landlord to Tenant within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then (a) this Lease shall end and expire on the date that such assignment or sublease was to commence (as if such date were the expiration date of the term hereof), (b) Rent shall be apportioned, paid or refunded as of such date, (c) Tenant, upon Landlord’s request, shall enter into an agreement confirming such termination, and (d) Landlord shall be free to lease the Premises or any part thereof, to any person or persons, including, without limitation, to Tenant’s prospective assignee or subtenant (provided that if Landlord enters into a lease for the Premises with Tenant’s prospective assignee or subtenant within one year following such termination, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s actual out-of-pocket costs incurred in the negotiation of such proposed assignment

 

30


or sublet in an amount not to exceed $50,000 within thirty (30) days following invoice therefor, accompanied by invoices or other evidence of such payments reasonably satisfactory to Landlord). Notwithstanding the foregoing, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Landlord’s termination notice, if any, delivered pursuant to this paragraph, Tenant may give Landlord notice that Tenant desires to rescind its request for consent to the proposed transfer, in which event Landlord’s recapture notice shall have no force or effect and Tenant shall recommence the process under this Section 7.3 prior to entering into any proposed transfer.

7.4 CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE

Provided that no Default of Tenant has occurred and is continuing hereunder, then, subject to the following provisions, Landlord’s consent to the proposed assignment or subletting shall not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall respond to such request within twenty (20) days as further provided below. Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all actual, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such assignment or sublease, including, without limitation, all reasonable legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Landlord in connection with the granting of any requested consent.

In no event shall Landlord be considered to have withheld its consent unreasonably to any proposed assignment or subletting if:

(1) the proposed assignee or subtenant does not have sufficient financial means to perform all of its obligations under this Lease or the sublease, as the case may be, and/or Landlord has not been furnished with reasonable proof thereof, or would otherwise adversely affect Landlord’s qualification for or use of historic tax credits;

(2) the proposed assignee or subtenant (i) is or has been under criminal investigation (other than for misdemeanor offenses of a de minimis nature) or is otherwise subject to material litigation that may have adverse consequences for such assignee’s or subtenants’ financial condition; (ii) is subject to an ongoing investigation for alleged violations of Requirements by the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States or any successor agency, (iii) is or has been within the prior two years in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods of any monetary or material non-monetary covenant under a lease with Landlord or an affiliate of Landlord, or (iv) cannot make the representation and warranty set forth in Section 17.23 of this Lease.

(3) the proposed assignee or sublessee will use the Premises for (a) a use which does not comply with the conditions and restrictions set forth in this Lease, or (b) a use which could materially overburden the Premises, the Building, the exterior common areas on the Property;

(4) [intentionally omitted];

(5) the form of the proposed sublease or instrument of assignment is not reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;

(6) after such assignment or sublease, there shall be more than eight (8) subtenants in the aggregate at any one time;

(7) the proposed subtenant or assignee shall be entitled, directly or indirectly, to diplomatic or sovereign immunity, regardless of whether the proposed assignee or subtenant agrees to waive such diplomatic or sovereign immunity, and/or shall not be subject to the service of process in, and the jurisdiction of the courts of, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for all matters relating to such assignment or sublease;

(8) the proposed assignee or sublessee shall be an employment agency (except for the corporate offices thereof where no agency services are undertaken in the Premises) or a domestic or foreign governmental or quasi-governmental entity or agency; or

(9) a lawsuit is then pending or threatened between Landlord or any affiliate of Landlord and the proposed assignee or subtenant (or affiliates thereof) (any assignee or subtenant described under clauses (2)-(3) or (6)-(9) hereof being referred to herein as a “Prohibited Tenant”).

Landlord shall advise Tenant of its consent to or rejection (with any rejection specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such rejection) of the proposed assignment or sublease (subject to, and in accordance with, the other relevant provisions of this Article) by notifying Tenant in writing within twenty (20) days’ receipt thereof. If Landlord fails to respond to a request for consent to a sublet (but not an assignment) within such twenty (20)-day period, Tenant may give to Landlord a reminder notice, which reminder notice shall contain the following caption on the first page thereof in bold and capitalized type:

YOU SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE GRANTED THE CONSENT REQUESTED IN TENANT’S TRANSFER NOTICE DATED                    , 20     IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO SUCH NOTICE WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE.

If Tenant sends a reminder notice to Landlord as aforesaid and Landlord fails to respond to Tenant within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of such reminder notice, then Landlord shall be deemed to have granted its consent with respect to such sublet.

If a Default of Tenant shall occur and be continuing at any time prior to the effective date of such assignment or subletting, then Landlord’s consent thereto, if previously granted may be withdrawn by Landlord by written notice to Tenant, and such consent shall be void and without force and effect.

7.5 SUBORDINATION

Each sublease shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease and to the matters that this Lease is or shall be subordinate, it being the intention of Landlord and Tenant that Tenant shall assume and be liable to Landlord for any and all acts and omissions of all subtenants and anyone claiming under or through any subtenants which, if performed or omitted by Tenant, would be a

 

32


default under this Lease. Each sublease shall terminate upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, provided that if this Lease shall expire or terminate during the term of any sublease for any reason, or if Tenant shall surrender this Lease to Landlord during the term of any sublease, Landlord, in its sole discretion, upon written notice given to Tenant and the subtenant not more than thirty (30) days after the effective date of such expiration, termination or surrender, without any additional or further agreement of any kind on the part of subtenant, may elect to continue such sublease with the same force and effect as if Landlord as lessor and subtenant as lessee had entered into a direct lease as of such effective date for a term equal to the then unexpired term of such sublease and containing the same terms and conditions as those contained in the sublease, and, if Landlord shall so elect, the subtenant shall attorn to Landlord and Landlord and the subtenant shall thereupon have the same rights, obligations and remedies thereunder as were had by Tenant and the subtenant thereunder prior to such effective date, respectively, except that in no event shall Landlord be (a) liable for any act or omission by Tenant, or (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which the subtenant had or might have against Tenant, (c) bound by any rent or additional rent or other payment paid by the subtenant to Tenant in advance, or (d) bound by any amendment to the Sublease not consented to by Landlord.

7.6 PROFITS

If Tenant shall enter into any assignment or sublease permitted hereunder that, pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, requires Landlord’s consent, Tenant shall, within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease, deliver to Landlord a complete list of Tenant’s reasonable third-party brokerage fees, legal fees and architectural fees paid or to be paid in connection with such transaction, together with a list of all of Tenant’s personal property to be transferred to such assignee or sublessee. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of the payment of such fees promptly after the same are paid. In consideration of such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord:

(a) In the case of an assignment of this Lease, on the effective date of the assignment, an amount equal to 50% of all sums paid to Tenant by the assignee for such assignment (including sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s personal property, less, in the case of a sale thereof, the then fair market value of such personal property, as reasonably determined by Landlord) after first deducting Tenant’s reasonable third-party brokerage fees, legal fees and architectural fees and improvement allowances in connection with such assignment; or

(b) in the case of a sublease, 50% of the excess of the rent and other sums paid under the sublease to Tenant by the subtenant (together with any sums paid for the sale or rental of Tenant’s personal property, less, in the case of the sale of such personal property, the then fair market value thereof, as reasonably determined by Landlord) over the Base Rent and other sums payable under this Lease (appropriately pro-rated for any sublease of less than the entire Premises) after first deducting Tenant’s reasonable third- party brokerage fees, legal fees, architectural fees, improvement allowances and rent concessions paid or credited by Tenant in connection with such sublease amortized ratably over the term of such sublease. The sums payable under this clause shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of when paid by the subtenant to Tenant.

7.7 PERMITTED TRANSFERS

The prohibition contained in Section 7.1 hereof shall not apply to the transfer of shares of stock of Tenant if and so long as such stock of Tenant is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange. The prior consent of Landlord shall not be required with respect to assignments or sublets to a Related Corporation (as defined below), or assignments to a corporation into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred (a “Successor Entity”), in each case so long as (i) such transfer was made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the purpose of transferring this Lease, (ii) the successor to Tenant (e.g. in the event of a merger, the resulting tenant under the Lease) has a tangible net worth of at least $139,000,000.00, cash and cash equivalents on hand of at least $103,600,000.00, a debt-to-equity ratio of less than .49, and a ratio of current assets to current liabilities of at least 2.9, in each case as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and in the manner shown on Tenant’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2015, (iii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth and other matters described in the preceding clause (ii) is delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction, (iv) no Default is then continuing, and (v) the assignee or surviving entity agrees to assume the obligations of Tenant and be bound by the provisions of this Lease. Provided that a Default is not then continuing, Tenant may sublicense a portion of the Premises not to exceed 10% in the aggregate to any outsource contractor providing services to or for Tenant having a bona fide business need based on its business relationship with Tenant (a “Tenant Partner”) for such occupancy so long as the space to be occupied by such Tenant Partner is not separately demised, the arrangement is a revocable license, and Landlord is given (i) prior written notice of such arrangement with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of such relationship, and (ii) a copy of the sublicense, which must provide that the nature of such agreement is a sublicense and that it is subject and subordinate to this Lease. A “Related Corporation” shall mean a corporation or other business entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Tenant, for so long as it maintains such status. For the purposes hereof, “control” shall be deemed to mean (x) ownership of not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of all of the voting stock of such corporation or not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of all of the legal and equitable interest in any other business entity if such entity is not a corporation and (y) the ability to control the day-to-day affairs of such corporation or entity. In no event shall the provisions of Section 7.6 apply to the transactions and transfers permitted without Landlord’s consent pursuant to this paragraph.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall further have the right, with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord (which notice shall include a copy of the fully executed sublease), but without Landlord’s consent, to sublet a portion of the Premises not to exceed the greater of (i) 31,000 rentable square feet in the aggregate, and (ii) two (2) full floors in the Building, to up to eight (8) third-party subtenants for a term not to exceed the then remaining Lease Term, provided that such subtenant is not a Prohibited Tenant at the time of such subletting. Upon Tenant’s written request, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether any proposed subtenant is, in Landlord’s good faith opinion, a Prohibited Tenant. Any sublease pursuant to this paragraph (a “Minor Sublease”) shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Article VII other than the obligation to obtain Landlord’s prior written consent.

 

34


7.8 NO WAIVER

The acceptance by Landlord of the payment of Rent, additional rent or other charges from an assignee or sublease shall not be considered to be a consent by Landlord to any such assignment, sublease, or other transfer, nor shall the same constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Landlord. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on the doors of the Premises, the Building directory or elsewhere shall not vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others. Any such listing shall constitute a privilege revocable in Landlord’s discretion by notice to Tenant.

7.9 INSURANCE AND WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

Any party occupying all or any portion of the Premises pursuant to this Article 7 shall comply with the indemnity, insurance and waiver of subrogation provisions of the Lease applicable to Tenant.

7.10 SECURITY AGREEMENTS

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, any of Tenant’s Property consisting of goods, machinery, equipment, appliances or other personal property located or installed by Tenant in the Premises may be purchased or acquired by Tenant subject to a chattel mortgage, conditional sale agreement or other title retention or security agreement (each, a “Security Agreement”), provided that (i) no such Security Agreement or Uniform Commercial Code filing statement relating thereto shall be permitted to be filed as a lien against Landlord, the Building, the Lot, any Alterations, or any fixtures, (ii) no lender shall have any right to remove such Tenant’s Property from the Building without Landlord’s approval, which approval may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, and (iii) such Security Agreement shall provide that (x) before the removal of such Tenant’s Property, such lender shall give reasonable prior written notice to Landlord of its intent to remove Tenant’s Property, (y) such lender shall repair any and all damage caused to the Premises or the Building by reason of such removal, and (z) Landlord shall have no liability to such lender in the event that such Tenant’s Property shall not be removed by such lender before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

7.11 DISPUTES

Any disputes between Landlord and Tenant under this Article VII shall be resolved by expedited arbitration in accordance with Article XX.

ARTICLE VIII

REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

8.1 TENANT OBLIGATIONS

(a) Throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall keep the Premises and every part thereof (including, without limitation, utility and Building systems serving the Premises, wherever located) in good working order, condition, and repair, in keeping with other similarly-

 

35


aged renovated historic office buildings located in the Fort Point Channel district of Boston, reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty, as a result of condemnation, as a result of the failure of Landlord to provide services required to be provided hereunder only excepted, or to the extent necessitated by Landlord’s negligence or willful acts or those of its contractor or agents (subject to the provisions of Section 11.5 hereof); and shall return the Premises to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term in such condition. In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant shall maintain, at its expense, maintenance contracts on the HVAC systems, elevators, life/safety systems, generators and fire pump systems serving the Building throughout the Term of this Lease.

(b) Provided no Default of Tenant exists hereunder, to the extent that the Tenant’s obligations under Section 8.1(a) would require Tenant to incur a capital expenditure (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) which is expected to exceed $25,000 during the final three (3) years of the Term (as the same may be extended hereunder) for replacement of a Building system which was initially installed by Landlord as part of the Base Building Work (as defined in Exhibit WORK LETTER) with a useful life (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) exceeding the remainder of the Term (the “Late Term Capital Expenditure”), then Landlord agrees to contribute to the cost of the Late Term Capital Expenditure, which contribution shall be calculated by: (i) dividing the remaining useful life of the capital replacement upon the Expiration Date (as the same has been, or may thereafter, be extended) by the total useful life of the capital replacement, and then (ii) multiplying the result obtained in (i) above by the actual and reasonable cost of the capital replacement (by way of example, if a Late Term Capital Expenditure will have a ten-year useful life when put into service and the Expiration Date occurs two (2) years thereafter, then within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for eighty percent (80%) of the cost of the Late Term Capital Expenditure, subject to the Tenant’s strict compliance with the remainder of this Section 8.1(b):

(1) In no event shall the provisions of this Section 8.1(b) be applicable if the capital replacement was necessitated as a result of Tenant’s negligent or willful failure to maintain the Building system at issue in good order and repair throughout the Lease term as required hereunder (including, without limitation, any failure to maintain any maintenance contracts or perform maintenance and repairs specified thereunder);

(2) To the extent Tenant determines that a Late Term Capital Expenditure is necessary, Tenant shall notify Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior to the undertaking the Late Term Capital Expenditure (the “Capital Expenditure Notice”), which notice shall include a report or opinion of a third- party mechanical engineer indicating that the Late Term Capital Expenditure is necessary;

(3) Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Capital Expenditure Notice, Landlord shall have the right to inspect by itself or through its engineer the applicable Building system to determine if a replacement is necessary. If Landlord or its engineer determine that a Late Term Capital Expenditure is not required, Landlord shall so notify Tenant. If Tenant disagrees with such

 

36


determination, Landlord and Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days to reach agreement on the need for the Late Term Capital Expenditure and/or agree on another method of resolving the issue. If the parties remain unable to reach agreement, then either party may submit the matter to arbitration pursuant to Section III of Exhibit Work Letter. Further, if the Late Term Capital Expenditure would occur during the last year of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to waive Tenant’s obligation to perform the same.

(4) Landlord shall have the right to control the replacement of any Building system undertaken pursuant to this Section 8.1(b), and any replacement under this Section 8.1(b), whether performed by Landlord or Tenant, shall be of comparable quality to the Building system being replaced.

8.2 LANDLORD OBLIGATIONS

Except as may be provided in Articles XII and XIII and subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, below, Landlord agrees to keep in good working order, condition, and repair the roof and all structural components of the Building (including, without limitation, the foundation, floor/ceiling slabs, roof, curtain walls (if any), exterior glass and mullions, columns, beams, and shafts (except for shafts installed by Tenant) and including prevention of water infiltration), and exterior entrances, commensurate with such other similarly-aged renovated historic office buildings located in the Fort Point Channel district of Boston provided, however, that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as additional rent hereunder, within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor, for the costs of maintaining, repairing, or otherwise correcting any condition to the extent caused by or arising out of an negligent act or omission or Default under this Lease of Tenant or any employee, agent, or contractor of Tenant or any other party for whose conduct Tenant is responsible (but subject to the provisions of Section 11.5). Without limitation, Landlord shall not be responsible to make any improvements or repairs other than as expressly provided in this Lease. In addition, Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make such repairs unless and until Tenant has given notice to Landlord of the need to make such repairs and Landlord has failed to commence to make such repairs within thirty (30) days of the giving of such notice, or, if such repairs are not capable of being completed within said 30-day period, without having commenced such repairs in such 30-day period and having failed to diligently prosecute such repairs to completion.

8.3 CAUSES BEYOND CONTROL OF THE PARTIES

Except as otherwise expressly provided in Articles XII and XIII, in no event shall either party be liable to the other for failure to perform any of its obligations under this Lease (excluding monetary obligations) when prevented from doing so by causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, labor dispute, breakdown, accident, order or regulation of or by any governmental authority, or failure of supply, or inability by the exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain supplies, parts, or employees necessary to furnish services required under this Lease, or because of war or other emergency, or for any cause due to any act, neglect, or default of the other party or the other party’s servants, contractors, agents, employees, licensees or any person claiming by, through or under the other party. Nothing in this Section 8.3 shall excuse Landlord or Tenant’s failure to make payments under this Lease when due. Without limiting the

 

37


foregoing, in no event shall either party ever be liable to the other for any indirect, special or consequential damages under the provisions of this Section 8.3 or any other provision of this Lease, except as set forth in Section 17.11, and provided that no remedy expressly set forth in this Lease shall be deemed special, indirect or consequential. Upon the occurrence of an event described in this Section 8.3 that excuses a party from performance hereunder, the party so excused shall in each instance exercise reasonable diligence to effect performance to the extent feasible on account of such event.

ARTICLE IX

SYSTEMS AND SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED BY LANDLORD; UTILITIES

9.1 HEATING, VENTILATION AND AIR CONDITIONING

Landlord shall provide heating, ventilation and cooling equipment (the “HVAC System”) in accordance with the BBW Plans and Specifications (as defined in Exhibit WORK LETTER) in good and operational condition on the Commencement Date. Tenant shall not install any supplementary or auxiliary HVAC equipment to serve the Premises without Landlord’s prior consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld but which may include the requirement to pay for condenser water or other actual, reasonable third- party costs of Landlord related thereto. Landlord shall not be responsible if the HVAC System shall fail to provide cooled or heated air, as the case may be, by reason of (i) any machinery or equipment installed by or on behalf of Tenant, which shall have an electrical load in excess of the average electrical load for the HVAC System as designed, or (ii) any Alterations made or performed by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant at all times shall cooperate fully with Landlord and shall abide by the rules and regulations which Landlord may reasonably prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of the HVAC System. Without limitation, in no event shall Tenant introduce into the Premises personnel or equipment that overloads the capacity of the HVAC System or in any other way interferes with the HVAC System’s ability to perform adequately its proper functions, or that affects the temperature otherwise maintained by the HVAC System, provided that Tenant may install supplemental HVAC units in the Premises or as part of the Roof Equipment in accordance with the provisions of Section 17.17.

9.2 ELECTRICITY

The Building capacity for electrical service serving the Premises shall be as set forth in the BBW Plans and Specifications. The Premises shall be served by an electric meter measuring all use of electrical energy in the Premises and Tenant shall be billed directly on a monthly basis by the utility company providing such energy. Tenant agrees to pay all such utility bills when due.

9.3 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

9.4 WATER

Tenant shall have the right to use the water and sewer service serving the Premises as of the date hereof. If permitted by Requirements, Tenant shall contract directly with the providers of water and sewer service to the Premises, and shall pay directly to the providers as they become due, all charges for the same furnished to, or consumed in, the Premises. If not permitted by Requirements, Landlord shall contract with the providers of water and sewer service to the Premises and Landlord shall include such amounts in Operating Costs.

 

38


9.5 OTHER UTILITIES AND SERVICES

(1) Tenant shall contract directly with the providers for, and shall pay directly to the providers as they become due, all charges for gas, telephone, cable, data transmission and other utilities and services furnished to or consumed in the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply of any such services. Without limitation, if Tenant is not charged directly by the providers of any such services or utilities, then Tenant shall pay, Tenant’s Proportionate Share as additional rent within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. Except as expressly set forth in this Article IX, Tenant agrees to contract separately for all utilities and building and other services required for Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises hereunder.

(2) If requested by Tenant, Landlord shall furnish, install, replace and dispose of, as required, all lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts required in the Premises at Tenant’s sole cost and expense provided that (i) Landlord’s charges for the labor provided in connection therewith shall be in accordance with Landlord’s regular rates in effect from time to time, and not materially in excess of the rates for similar materials and services provided by landlords in other similarly-aged renovated historic office buildings located in the Fort Point Channel district of Boston, and (ii) Landlord shall not be entitled to charge Tenant any fee or mark-up over the actual costs incurred by Landlord to purchase such lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts. All lighting tubes, lamps, bulbs and ballasts so installed shall become Landlord’s property upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

(3) Tenant shall provide reasonable access to Landlord and Landlord’s contractors, agents, employees, and/or invitees, at no cost to any of them, to the Building’s service and/or loading dock, which shall be maintained by Tenant in a manner consistent with other similarly- aged renovated historic office buildings located in the Fort Point Channel district of Boston and all Requirements.

9.6 EMERGENCY POWER

Subject to the provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, Article VI hereof), Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right to connect each floor of the Premises to the Building’s emergency power distribution system for back-up emergency power to Tenant’s equipment (Landlord making no representation or warranty regarding the sufficiency or quality of such power for Tenant’s use), Tenant acknowledging that Tenant will be responsible for connecting into a separate auto-transfer switch on the emergency generator for such back-up power in connection with Tenant’s Tenant Improvements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease (including the second paragraph of Section 9.8 below) in no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or any Tenant Party on account of the failure of the emergency power system to supply Tenant with power at any time or for any interruption, shortage, loss, liability, damage or claim resulting from use of or connection to the same, it being understood and agreed that Landlord is providing access to such power as an accommodation to Tenant and not as a building service or duty of Landlord. Tenant shall not

 

39


connect to or use the Building’s emergency power system in a manner that adversely affects the operations of such system for the Building. In connection with the foregoing, Tenant agrees to notify Landlord by not later than December 31, 2014 of Tenant’s emergency back-up power requirements, and if Landlord through use of reasonable efforts is able to accommodate the same through an emergency generator located within the Building in compliance with applicable Requirements, Landlord shall do so, and Tenant shall pay, within thirty (30) days after invoice, Landlord for the actual third-party costs incurred by Landlord (i) to re-size the emergency generator beyond that to be provided pursuant to the BBW Plans and Specifications, and (ii) for all associated connections, structural modifications, dunnage, and other improvements necessary to facilitate Tenant’s desired connection to the Building emergency power distribution system.

9.7 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

Tenant shall provide, itself or through third parties, property management for the Premises consistent with other similarly-aged renovated historic office buildings located in the Fort Point Channel district of Boston. Any third party retained by Tenant to provide property management services to the Premises shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

9.8 INTERRUPTION

Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately following paragraph or Articles XII or XIII, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant, nor shall Tenant have a claim for any compensation or reduction of Rent, arising out of or resulting from interruptions or shortages of utilities or building services, or from Landlord’s entering the Premises for any of the purposes authorized by this Lease or for repairing the Premises, or any portion of the Building and/or the Property. If Landlord is prevented or delayed from making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any utility or service or performing any other obligation to be performed on Landlord’s part, by reason of any cause, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof, nor shall the same give rise to any claim by Tenant that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises. Landlord reserves the right to stop any service or utility system when necessary by reason of accident or emergency or until necessary repairs have been completed. Except in case of emergency repairs, Landlord will give Tenant not less than twenty-four (24) hours’ advance notice of any contemplated stoppage and will use diligent efforts to avoid unreasonable inconvenience to Tenant by reason thereof. Landlord also reserves the right to institute such policies, programs and measures as may be necessary, required or expedient for the conservation or preservation of energy or energy services or as may be necessary or required to comply with applicable codes, rules, regulations or standards. In so doing, Landlord shall make diligent efforts to avoid unreasonable inconvenience to Tenant by reason thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, in the event that there shall be an interruption, curtailment or suspension of any service required to be provided by Landlord pursuant to this Lease (and no reasonably equivalent alternative service or supply is provided by Landlord) due to the intentional act or negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, or if Landlord fails to commence and diligently prosecute to completion any repair

 

40


or maintenance required by Landlord under this Lease (including repairs or maintenance necessary for Landlord to comply with the provisions of Section 5.2(c)) within applicable notice and cure periods) that shall materially interfere with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of a material portion of the Premises, and Tenant actually ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises (any such event, a “Service Interruption”), and if (i) such Service Interruption shall continue for five (5) consecutive Business Days following receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant describing such Service Interruption (the “Service Interruption Notice”) provided that no notice shall be required where Tenant’s inability to use such portion of the Premises results from the closure of the Building by Landlord, (ii) such Service Interruption shall not have been caused, in whole or in part, by matters described by Section 8.3 or by an act or omission in violation of this Lease by Tenant or by any negligence of Tenant, or Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees, and (iii) the cure of the condition giving rise to the Service Interruption is within Landlord’s reasonable control (a Service Interruption that satisfies the foregoing conditions being referred to hereinafter as a “Material Service Interruption”) then, as liquidated damages and Tenant’s sole remedy at law or equity, Tenant shall be entitled to an equitable abatement of Base Rent, based on the nature and duration of the Material Service Interruption, the area of the Premises affected, and the then current Base Rent amounts, for the period that shall begin on the commencement of such Material Service Interruption and that shall end on the day such Material Service Interruption shall cease. The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply in the instance of matters addressed by Articles XII and XIII. Any dispute between Landlord and Tenant under this Section shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with the terms of Article XX.

Except in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) advise Tenant at least three (3) Business Days before any intentional shutdown of electrical service or other utility services affecting the Premises by Landlord, and (ii) coordinate such shutdowns with Tenant. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts (except in the event of an emergency) to cause such shutdowns to occur after outside of Business Hours.

ARTICLE X

41


Landlord or any other Landlord Party. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify and save harmless Landlord and the Landlord Parties against and from all claims, expenses, or liabilities of whatever nature arising directly or indirectly from any accident, injury, or damage, however caused, to any person or property, wherever occurring, from Tenant’s use of or connection to the Building’s emergency power distribution system pursuant to Section 9.6 of this Lease.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Landlord shall indemnify and save harmless Tenant, and the members, managers, partners, directors, officers, agents, invitees, and employees of Tenant (any one, a “Tenant Party”), against and from all claims, expenses, or liabilities of whatever nature (a) arising directly or indirectly from any default or breach by Landlord under any of the terms or covenants of this Lease; or (b) arising directly or indirectly from any accident, injury, or damage to any person or property occurring on or about the Property, where such accident, injury, or damage results, or is claimed to have resulted, from any negligent act or omission on the part of Landlord or any Landlord Party; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord be obligated under this Section 10.1 to indemnify Tenant or any other Tenant Party to the extent such claim, expense, or liability results from any negligence or other misconduct of Tenant or any other Tenant Party.

The indemnification set forth in this Section 10.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. This indemnification and hold harmless agreement shall include, without limitation, indemnity against all expenses, reasonable attorneys’ fees and liabilities incurred in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon and the defense thereof with counsel acceptable to the party seeking indemnification. At the request of the party seeking indemnification, the indemnifying party shall defend any such claim or proceeding directly on behalf and for the benefit of the indemnified party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, wherever any party is entitled to indemnification under this Lease (the “indemnified party”), the provisions of this paragraph shall govern. The indemnified party shall notify the other party (the “indemnifying party”) promptly in writing of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon and shall cooperate with the indemnifying party and its counsel in the defense of any such claim, action, or proceeding. The indemnifying party may defend, compromise or settle any such claim, action or proceeding; provided, however, that if the compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding does not result in the complete and unconditional release of the indemnified party, such compromise or settlement will require the indemnified party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnified party shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of such indemnified party, not to be unreasonably withheld.

10.2 TENANT’S RISK

10.4 SECURITY

Tenant agrees that, in all events, Tenant is responsible for providing security to, and installing locks and access control systems serving, the Premises, and Tenant’s personnel and Landlord shall have no obligations or liabilities, of any kind, in connection therewith. Tenant shall provide Landlord with master keys, access cards and codes and all other necessary means of access to all locks and access control systems for and with respect to the Premises. To the extent that Landlord elects to provide security services at the Building from time to time, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to avoid redundant provision of security personnel or services.

ARTICLE XI

INSURANCE

11.1 PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

Tenant agrees to maintain in full force from the date upon which Tenant first enters the Premises for any reason, throughout the Lease Term, and thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of the Premises, (a) a policy of commercial general liability insurance, written on an occurrence basis with a general aggregate per location extension and including contractual liability coverage to cover any liabilities assumed under this Lease, insuring against all claims for bodily injury, property damage, personal injury or advertising injury on or about the Premises or arising out of the use of the Premises, including products liability, and completed operations liability, with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000, general aggregate, (b) automobile liability insurance covering all owned vehicles, hired vehicles, and all other non-owned vehicles in the amount of at least $1,000,000 combined single limit, (c) worker’s compensation insurance in accordance with applicable statutory legal requirements, and (d) employer’s liability insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 or such other higher limits imposed by Requirements, and (e) umbrella/excess insurance on a following-form basis in excess of the foregoing coverages in the amount of at least $5,000,000 per occurrence. The general liability and umbrella policies shall designate Landlord, its managing agent (if any), and any mortgagees (as may be set forth in a notice given from time to time by Landlord) as additional insureds, as their interests appear, and shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.

 

43


Each such policy shall not expire or be amended or canceled without at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Landlord in each instance and each policy shall provide that the interests of Landlord thereunder or therein shall not be affected by any breach by Tenant of any policy provision. A certificate evidencing such insurance coverages shall be delivered to Landlord on or prior to the Commencement Date, and thereafter on an annual basis (and in any event prior to the expiration thereof). Each such policy shall be written by insurance companies licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, having a rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or any successor thereto, or if there be none, an insurance rating organization having a national reputation) of at least “A-” and a financial size category of not less than “Class VII.” Tenant shall have the right to obtain any of the general liability insurance required hereunder pursuant to a blanket general liability policy covering other properties provided the blanket policy contains an endorsement that names Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent (if any) and any mortgagees (as may be set forth in a notice given from time to time by Landlord), as additional insureds, and references the Premises.

11.2 HAZARD INSURANCE

Tenant agrees to maintain in full force from the date upon which Tenant first enters the Premises for any reason, throughout the Lease Term, and thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of the Premises, fire and extended coverage insurance in so-called “Special Causes of Loss” form including boiler and machinery (if applicable). Covered property shall include but not be limited to all fixtures, equipment and other personal property of Tenant and any Alterations. The amount of insurance shall not be less than 100% of the replacement cost of such property, and the policy shall contain an agreed amount extension. Tenant shall also purchase time element (business income/extra expense) coverage against the perils insured by the property policy for a period of indemnity of twelve months. Tenant shall also maintain insurance against such other hazards as may from time to time reasonably be required by Landlord, provided that such insurance is customarily required of tenants in the area in which the Premises are located on property similar to the Building, that Tenant receives written notice specifying all such additional insurance as may be required, and that such coverage is generally available. Each such policy shall be written by insurance companies licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, having a rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or any successor thereto, or if there be none, an insurance rating organization having a national reputation) of at least “A-” and a financial size category of not less than “Class VII.”

11.3 CONSTRUCTION PERIOD INSURANCE

At any time when demolition or construction work is being performed on or about the Premises or Building by or on behalf of Tenant, in addition to the insurance coverages required by Tenant, above, Tenant shall require that all contractors and subcontractors performing Alterations keep in full force and effect the following insurance coverage, in each instance with policies in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord:

 

44


(1) builder’s risk completed value (non-reporting form) in such form and affording such protections as reasonably required by Landlord (which builder’s risk insurance may be included as part of the property insurance referenced in Section 11.2, above);

(2) workers’ compensation or similar insurance in form and amounts required by law;

(3) Employer’s liability insurance in the amount of at least $500,000 or such other higher limits imposed by Requirements;

(4) Commercial General Liability insurance against all claims for bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and advertising injury with limits not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and in $2,000,000 the aggregate, with Products/Completed Operations coverage (with evidence of Products/Completed Operations coverage);

(5) Automobile liability insurance covering all owned vehicles, hired vehicles, and all other non-owned vehicles in the amount of at least $1,000,000 combined single limit; and

(6) umbrella/excess insurance on a following-form basis in excess of the foregoing coverages in the amount of at least $4,000,000 per occurrence.

Landlord, its managing agent (if any), its mortgagee and the fee owner of the Lot shall be listed as additional insureds under each policy listed above (not including subparagraphs (1), (2), and (3)). This insurance shall be primary and noncontributory with respect to other insurance required under this Lease. The respective insurance carriers shall waive all rights of subrogation against Landlord and Tenant with respect to losses payable under such policies.

Tenant shall cause a certificate or certificates of such insurance to be delivered to Landlord prior to the commencement of any work in or about the Building or the Premises, in default of which beyond any applicable notice or cure period Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to obtain any or all such insurance at the expense of Tenant, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

11.4 RENTAL ABATEMENT INSURANCE

The Landlord may elect to keep and maintain in full force and effect during the Lease Term, rental abatement insurance against abatement or loss of Rent in case of fire or other casualty, in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Rent payable by Tenant during the then current lease year as reasonably determined by Landlord. All premiums for such insurance shall be included in Operating Costs for the purposes of this Lease.

 

45


11.5 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

Landlord and Tenant mutually agree that with respect to any loss which is covered by any insurance then being carried by them or that would have been covered had such party been carrying the insurance required hereunder, the one carrying or required to carry such insurance and suffering said loss waives and releases the other of and from any and all claims and rights of recovery against the other with respect to such loss and agrees not to seek to recover from the other or to make any claim against the other, and in the case of Landlord, against all Tenant Parties, and in the case of Tenant against all Landlord Parties, for any loss or damage incurred by the waiving/releasing party, to the extent that such loss or damage is to be insured under any insurance policy required by this Lease or that would have been insured had the party carried the insurance that it was required to carry hereunder. The foregoing waiver and release applies whether or not the loss or damage resulted from the negligence of the other party, the Landlord Parties or the Tenant Parties. In addition, the parties hereto shall procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any insurance policy required by this Lease pursuant to which the insurance company waives subrogation. The insurance policies required by this Lease shall contain no provision that would invalidate or restrict the parties’ waiver and release of the rights of recovery in this section and shall provide that the foregoing waiver and release will not adversely affect the rights of the insureds under such policies. Landlord and Tenant further mutually agree that their insurance companies shall have no right of subrogation against the other on account thereof.

11.6 LANDLORD’S INSURANCE

Landlord shall keep the Building, the appurtenances thereto and the property of Landlord contained therein (but not any Alterations) insured against damage and destruction with “Special Causes of Loss” insurance in the amount of the full replacement value of the Building (exclusive of footings and foundations), as the value may exist from time to time, and as required by any lender of Landlord or its affiliates with respect to the Building. Such coverage shall include damage done by fire and other casualty typically covered under policies covering comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Building. Said insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company authorized to do business in Massachusetts having a rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide (or any successor thereto, of if there be none, an insurance rating organization having a national reputation) of at least A-/VII, at the expense of Landlord (but with the same to be included in the Operating Costs described in Section 4.3), and payments for losses thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord. Landlord shall also maintain commercial general liability insurance against all claims for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage arising out of all operations in connection with the Building in the amount required by under the terms of any mortgage on the Building, or, if none, in such amounts as prudent owners of comparable Boston office buildings would carry from time to time. Landlord shall provide to Tenant not later than the earlier of the Commencement Date, and, thereafter, upon Tenant’s request (made no more often than once per policy period), a certificate evidencing the effectiveness of the insurance policies required to be maintained by Landlord hereunder. Landlord reserves the right to maintain such additional insurance (whether by additional amounts and/or coverages) as is customary for a prudent landlord of similarly situated properties in the City of Boston or to meet the insurance requirements of any mortgagee.

 

46


ARTICLE XII

CASUALTY

12.1 DEFINITION OF “SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE” AND “PARTIAL DAMAGE”

The term “substantial damage”, as used herein, shall refer to damage or lack of access to the Building which is of such a character that in Landlord’s reasonable, good faith determination the same cannot, in ordinary course, be expected to be repaired or access restored within three hundred sixty five (365) calendar days from the date of such damage. Any damage which is not “substantial damage” is “partial damage”.

12.2 PARTIAL DAMAGE

If, during the Lease Term there shall be partial damage to the Building or the Premises by fire or casualty, and, in the case of damage outside the Premises, if such damage shall materially interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Premises, then Landlord shall promptly proceed to restore the Premises (other than any Alterations) and the Building (to the extent such damage materially interferes with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises) to substantially the condition in which the same were in immediately prior to the occurrence of such damage; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend more than the sum of (x) insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord, plus the amount of any deductible carried by Landlord, and (y) $1,500,000.

12.3 SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING

If, during the Lease Term there shall be substantial damage or lack of access to the Building as a result of fire or casualty, Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such damage, regardless of whether such damage materially interferes with Tenant’s use of the Premises. If Landlord shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the sixtieth (60th) day after such notice is given, with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice in writing (the “Restoration Notice”), no later than sixty (60) days after the date of any damage covered by this Article, that Landlord intends to restore the Premises or access to the Premises and such notice shall set forth a reasonable estimate of Landlord’s general contractor required to complete such restoration (“Estimated Completion Date”).

12.4 ABATEMENT OF RENT; TENANT’S RIGHT TO TERMINATE

If during the Lease Term the Building shall be damaged by fire or casualty and if such damage shall materially interfere with Tenant’s access to or use of the Premises as contemplated by this Lease, a just proportion of the Base Rent and Operating Costs Payment payable by Tenant hereunder shall abate proportionately (x) if this Lease is not terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Article XII, for the period in which, by reason of such damage, there is such interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises, having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to discontinue Tenant’s use of the Premises, but such abatement or reduction shall end if and when three (3) months after (to allow Tenant to restore the Alterations) Landlord shall have given notice to Tenant that Landlord shall have substantially restored the

 

47


Premises or so much thereof as shall have been originally constructed by Landlord (exclusive of any of Alterations or Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings, equipment and the like or work performed therein by Tenant) to substantially the condition in which the Premises were prior to such damage, or (y) if this Lease is terminated in accordance with this Article XII, from the date of such damage for the remainder of the Lease Term.

When fire or other casualty renders the Premises substantially unsuitable for its intended use, including without limitation by denying Tenant reasonable access to the Premises, and Tenant does in fact cease to occupy all or a portion of the Premises on account of such event, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease if:

(a) Landlord fails, within thirty (30) days following written notice from Tenant of such failure, to give to Tenant the Restoration Notice within sixty (60) days after such casualty, to the extent such restoration is required hereunder;

(b) such casualty results from an uninsured event and the cost of such restoration is in excess of $1,500,000, and Landlord does not agree, within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s written request, to restore the same; or

(c) If Landlord gives to Tenant the Restoration Notice, and, the Estimated Completion Date is more than thirteen (13) months from the date of such Restoration Notice, provided that Tenant gives such notice within thirty (30) days after receiving the Restoration Notice; or

(d) If Landlord gives to Tenant the Restoration Notice and Landlord fails to restore the Premises (to the extent such restoration is required hereunder) to a condition substantially suitable for their intended use or fails to provide alternate access within thirteen (13) months (or such longer period as is specified in Landlord’s Restoration Notice) of such fire or other casualty; provided however, that (x) in the event Landlord has diligently commenced repairs to the damaged property and such repair takes more than thirteen (13) months to complete due to causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, Landlord shall have the right to complete such repairs within a reasonable time period thereafter (the “Additional Time”) but in no event shall such Additional Time be longer than length of such delays beyond Landlord’s reasonable control and (y) if Landlord completes such restoration within thirty (30) days following receipt of Tenant’s notice of termination, then such notice of termination shall be deemed null and void and of no further effect.

If neither party terminates this Lease pursuant to rights set forth in this Article XII, then this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and the Rent shall abate as to any portion of the Premises that is not usable for the Permitted Use until three (3) months after the period of such untenantability or inaccessibility to allow Tenant to restore the Alterations, as above mentioned, and Landlord shall promptly commence to restore the Premises (other than any Alterations and Tenant’s Property) to substantially the same condition as before such damage occurred and shall diligently prosecute such restoration to completion.

 

48


If during the last two (2) years of the Term the Building or the Premises shall be damaged by, or become inaccessible as a result of, fire or casualty, and if such fire or casualty damage or inaccessibility resulting therefrom, whether to the Premises or the Building, cannot reasonably be expected to be repaired or restored within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such damage or before the Expiration Date, whichever first occurs, and Tenant does not exercise an option to extend the Term for an Extension Term within twenty (20) days after the occurrence of such damage, then Landlord or Tenant shall have the right, by giving notice to the other not later than thirty (30) days after the occurrence of such damage, to terminate this Lease. If either Landlord or Tenant shall give notice of termination pursuant to this Section, the Term shall expire by lapse of time upon the date which is thirty (30) days after such notice is given and Tenant shall vacate the Premises and surrender the same to Landlord. Upon the termination of this Lease under the conditions provided for in this Section, Tenant’s liability for Rent shall cease as of the date of such termination, subject, however, to abatement thereof between the date of such casualty and the date of such termination.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if the Building or the Premises shall be substantially damaged by fire or casualty as the result of a risk not covered by the forms of casualty insurance at the time maintained by Landlord and Landlord does not notify Tenant in a Restoration Notice that Landlord will restore such damage notwithstanding the cause thereof not being covered by Landlord’s insurance, Landlord or Tenant may, at its election, terminate the Term by notice to the other party given within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the deadline for delivery of a Restoration Notice. If such notice is given, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the Expiration Date hereof.

12.5 MISCELLANEOUS

In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to make any repairs or perform any restoration work under this Article XII if prevented from doing so by reason of any cause described in Section 8.3, including, without limitation, any Requirements. Further, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs or perform any restoration work to any Alterations to the Premises performed by or for the benefit of Tenant (all of which Tenant shall repair and restore).

Any disputes under this Article XII are subject to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article XX.

ARTICLE XIII

EMINENT DOMAIN

13.1 RIGHTS OF TERMINATION FOR TAKING

If all of the Premises, or such portion thereof as to render the balance (if reconstructed to the maximum extent practicable in the circumstances) physically unsuitable for the Permitted Uses, or if all reasonable access to the Premises, shall be taken (including a temporary taking in excess of 360 days) by condemnation or right of eminent domain or sold in lieu of condemnation, Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord of such

 

49


election not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant has been deprived of possession of the Premises (or such portion) or after its access to the Premises has been so affected, as the case may be.

Further, if (a) at least 25 percent of the Building or the Lot or (b) so much of the Building (which may, but need not include, the Premises) or the Lot shall be so taken, condemned or sold or shall receive any direct or consequential damage by reason of anything done pursuant to public or quasi-public authority to the extent that continued operation of the same would, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, be uneconomical, then, in either case, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant of such election not later than thirty (30) days after the effective date of such taking. In addition, if at least 33% of the Premises shall be so taken, then Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord of such election not later than ninety (90) days after the effective date of such taking. This Lease shall terminate on the date that such notice is given to the other party, and the Rent shall be prorated and adjusted as of such termination date.

Should any part of the Premises or the aforesaid access be so taken or condemned or receive such damage and should this Lease be not terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Landlord shall promptly after the determination of Landlord’s award on account thereof, expend so much as may be necessary of the net amount which may be awarded to and actually received by Landlord in such condemnation proceedings in restoring the Premises (other than any Alterations) and such access to an architectural unit that is reasonably suitable to the uses of Tenant permitted hereunder. Should the net amount so awarded to and actually received by Landlord be insufficient by an amount in excess of $50,000 to cover the cost of so restoring the Premises or the aforesaid access, in the reasonable estimate of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall have no obligation to, supply the amount of such insufficiency and restore the Premises to such an architectural unit, with all reasonable diligence, or Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within a reasonable time after Landlord has determined the estimated cost of such restoration.

13.2 PAYMENT OF AWARD

Landlord shall have and hereby reserves and excepts, and Tenant hereby grants and assigns to Landlord, all rights to recover for damages to the Building and the Lot and the leasehold interest hereby created, and to compensation accrued or hereafter to accrue by reason of such taking or damage, as aforesaid. Tenant covenants to deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in any condemnation proceedings a claim for the value of any of Tenant’s trade fixtures installed in the Premises by Tenant entirely at Tenant’s expense and for relocation expenses; provided that such action shall not affect the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable hereunder by Landlord from the taking authority.

13.3 ABATEMENT OF RENT

In the event of any such taking of the Premises or the aforesaid access, if and to the extent Tenant is deprived of possession of the Premises or deprived of all access to the Premises, the Rent or a fair and just proportion thereof, according to the nature and extent of the damage sustained, shall be suspended or abated, as appropriate and equitable in the circumstances.

 

50


13.4 MISCELLANEOUS

In no event shall Landlord have any obligation to make any repairs under this Article XIII if prevented from doing so by reason of any cause beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, requirements of any applicable Requirements. Further, Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs to any Alterations, the restoration of which shall be the responsibility of Tenant promptly following Landlord’s completion of its restoration obligations hereunder.

ARTICLE XIV

DEFAULT

14.1 TENANT’S DEFAULT

(a) If at any time any one or more of the following events (herein referred to as a “Default” or “Default of Tenant”) shall occur:

(1) Tenant shall fail to make payment of (i) Base Rent or any recurring monthly payment of Rent (such as Operating Costs) within five (5) Business Days after Landlord has sent to Tenant notice of such default, or (ii) any other Rent due under this Lease within ten (10) Business Days after Landlord has sent to Tenant notice of such default; or

(2) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other covenant or provision herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed and Tenant shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant specifying such neglect or failure, or, if such failure is of such a nature that Tenant cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall fail to commence to remedy the same within said 30-day period and diligently to prosecute such remedy to completion within not more than ninety (90) days after notice to Tenant; or

(3) except as otherwise provided by applicable Requirements, if the estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law, or if Tenant shall be judicially declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or if any assignment shall be made of the property of Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or other similar officer shall be appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of Tenant’s property by a court of competent jurisdiction and such receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee or similar official is not dismissed or discharged of its duties within sixty (60) days of its appointment, or if a petition shall be filed for the reorganization of Tenant under any provisions of law now or hereafter enacted, and such proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after it is begun, or if Tenant shall file a petition for such reorganization, or for arrangements under any provisions of such laws providing a plan for a debtor to settle, satisfy, or extend the time for the payment of debts;

 

51


then, in any such case, Landlord may in addition to any remedies otherwise available to Landlord, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, immediately or at any time thereafter, and without demand (but with prior notice to Tenant), enter into and upon the Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and repossess the same as of Landlord’s former estate, and expel Tenant and those claiming by, through or under it and remove its or their effects (forcibly if necessary) without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of rent or preceding breach of covenant, and/or Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant and this Lease shall come to an end on the date of such notice as fully and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the term of this Lease and Tenant will then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as herein provided. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws (including M.G.L. c.186, §11), in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease. In the event of any such termination, entry or re-entry, Landlord shall have the right to remove and store Tenant’s property and that of persons claiming by, through or under Tenant at the sole risk and expense of Tenant and, if Landlord so elects, (x) to sell such property at public auction or private sale and apply the net proceeds to the payment of all sums due to Landlord from Tenant and pay the balance, if any, to Tenant, or (y) to dispose of such property in any manner in which Landlord shall elect, Tenant hereby agreeing to the fullest extent permitted by law that it shall have no right, title or interest in any property remaining in the Premises after such termination, entry or re-entry.

Any notice of default required to be delivered under this Section shall (1) specify the applicable default, (2) if monetary in nature, specify the amount required to be paid to cure such default (to the extent then ascertainable), and (3) state on the first page of such notice in capital, bold face letters “NOTICE OF DEFAULT.”

(b) Tenant covenants and agrees, notwithstanding any termination of this Lease as aforesaid or any entry or re entry by Landlord, whether by summary proceedings, termination, or otherwise, to pay and be liable for on the days originally fixed herein for the payment thereof, amounts equal to the several installments of Rent and other charges reserved as they would become due under the terms of this Lease if this Lease had not been terminated or if Landlord had not entered or re entered, as aforesaid, and whether the Premises be relet or remain vacant, in whole or in part, or for a period less than the remainder of the Term, or for the whole thereof; but in the event the Premises be relet by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the net amount of rent received by Landlord in reletting, after deduction of all expenses incurred in reletting the Premises (including, without limitation, remodeling costs, brokerage fees, reasonable and the like), and in collecting the rent in connection therewith. As an alternative, at the election of Landlord, Tenant will upon such election pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, either (i) such a sum as at the time of such termination represents the amount of the excess, if any, of the then present value of the total Rent and other benefits which

 

52


would have accrued to Landlord under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term if the lease terms had been fully complied with by Tenant over and above the then present cash rental value of the Premises for what would be the then unexpired Lease Term if the same remained in effect (minus any amounts previously collected by Landlord pursuant to the first sentence of this paragraph) using the Federal Reserve discount rate, or equivalent, plus 2% shall be used in calculating present values or (ii) a sum equal to twelve (12) months (or such lesser number of months as may then be remaining in the Lease Term) of Base Rent and additional rent at the rate last payable by Tenant under this Lease, as Landlord specifies in such election. For purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay damages in accordance with clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, the total amount due shall be computed by assuming that Tenant’s Operating Costs Payments would be for each lease year and for the balance of such unexpired term, the amount thereof respectively for the lease year in which such termination, entry or re-entry shall occur.

(c) In case of any Default of Tenant, re-entry, entry, expiration and dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (i) 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 equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers advisable or necessary to re-let the Premises and (ii) make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord, in its sole judgment, considers advisable or necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and no action by Landlord in accordance with the foregoing shall operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord shall be entitled to take into account in connection with any reletting of the Premises all relevant factors which would be taken into account by a sophisticated developer in securing a replacement tenant for the Premises, such as, but not limited to, the first class quality of the Building and the financial responsibility of any such replacement tenant. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent under such re-letting, and Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements, any obligation Landlord may have to mitigate Tenant’s damages. Landlord agrees to list the Premises with a broker in the event of a termination, entry or re-entry under this Article XIV, provided that Landlord’s obligation to list the Premises as provided herein is independent of Tenant’s obligations under this Article XIV and shall not be construed to entitle Tenant to set-off against any amounts payable by Tenant hereunder in the event of a breach or alleged breach by Landlord of such obligation. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to give priority to the re-letting of the Premises over any other premises in the Building, if any, or any other building owned by Landlord.

(d) The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may, at any time, be entitled lawfully and Landlord may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for.

 

53


(e) All fees, costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of Landlord (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in enforcing its rights hereunder or occasioned by any Default of Tenant shall be paid by Tenant.

(f) Upon any Default of Tenant, or the expiration or termination of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right of summary process under Massachusetts General Laws c.239, or other applicable statutes, and such other rights to recover possession as permitted by law. Tenant and Landlord each hereby waives any and all rights under the laws of any state to the right, if any, to trial by jury.

Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy, insolvency, or like proceedings by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater than, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above, subject to the limitation of liability provided in Section 17.21.

14.2 LANDLORD’S DEFAULT

Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations hereunder unless Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within thirty (30) days (or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default if such default is of such a nature that Landlord cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30)-day period, if Landlord commences to remedy same within such 30-day period and diligently prosecutes such remedy to completion, but in any event not to exceed ninety (90) days) after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation. Without limitation, in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold Rent or to set-off or deduct any claim or damages against Rent as a result of any default by Landlord or breach by Landlord of its covenants or any warranties or promises hereunder, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. Landlord shall pay Tenant interest at the Lease Interest Rate on any funds due to Tenant that Landlord fails timely to pay or credit, as applicable, to Tenant; except that Landlord shall be provided notice and a five (5) Business Day cure period before such interest will begin to accrue.

If Landlord defaults in the observance or performance of any term or provision of this Lease on Landlord’s part to be observed or performed with respect to making repairs to the Premises or any portion thereof and such failure continues for thirty (30) days after prior notice thereof to Landlord or such shorter period, if any, as may be feasible in case of an emergency threatening life or property (such notice to expressly state Tenant’s intention to exercise its rights under this Section), then Tenant, to the extent such default materially and adversely impacts Tenant’s business operations in the Premises, without being under any obligation to do so and without thereby waiving such default, may give to Landlord a second notice containing the following caption on the first page thereof in bold and capitalized type: “NOTICE OF INTENT TO EXERCISE SELF-HELP RIGHTS WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE”, and if Landlord fails to cure such default with such five (5) business days period, Tenant may remedy such default and perform such repair (but only to the affected portion or portions of the Premises or on the applicable floor of the Premises and

 

54


nowhere else in the Building or any portion thereof) for the account and at the expense of Landlord. Tenant shall give any mortgagee of which Tenant has prior notice at least five (5) days prior written notice prior to commencing such repair. All reasonable expenditures made by Tenant in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding, such sums, with interest at the Lease Interest Rate, shall, at Landlord’s option, either be paid to Tenant by Landlord within thirty (30) days after submission by Tenant to Landlord of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor or credited against the next installments of Base Rent thereafter becoming due hereunder (provided that such credits shall not exceed in any event more than 32.5% of the Base Rent due in any one month, with amounts due to Tenant accruing interest thereafter at the Lease Interest Rate until Tenant is paid or reimbursed by credit in full). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, if there are insufficient remaining rental obligations to offset Tenant’s refund, or if the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has no outstanding monetary obligations to Landlord, Landlord shall pay such amount to Tenant within thirty (30) days. Any dispute as to whether Tenant had the right to exercise the remedies under this Section or as to the amount Tenant claims is due to Tenant shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article XX prior to payment or credit, as applicable.

Any notice of default required to be delivered under this Section shall (1) specify the applicable default, (2) if monetary in nature, specify the amount required to be paid to cure such default (to the extent then ascertainable), and (3) state on the first page of such notice in capital, bold face letters “NOTICE OF DEFAULT.”

ARTICLE XV

LANDLORD’S ACCESS TO PREMISES

15.1 LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF ACCESS

Landlord and its agents, contractors, and employees shall have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable hours (unless such entry is reasonably likely to adversely affect Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in any substantial or material portion of the Premises or otherwise adversely affect Tenant’s use or occupancy of any substantial or material portion of the Premises, in which event such access shall occur at times other than Tenant’s business hours, except in the event of an emergency and except for entry by janitorial personnel) upon reasonable advance notice (except that no notice shall be required and Landlord may enter at any time in case of emergency in which event concurrent notice shall be provided to the extent practicable) for the purpose of inspecting or of making repairs or alterations, to the Premises or the Building or additions to the Building, and Landlord shall also have the right to make access available at all reasonable hours to prospective or existing mortgagees or purchasers of any part of the Premises or the Building, provided, however, that in each case, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the conduct of Tenant’s business in the Premises. To assure access by Landlord to the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord with duplicate copies of all keys used by Tenant in providing access to the Premises. Landlord shall not store any materials in the Premises during the performance of such work except to the extent that such storage does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s business and use of the Premises. Any confidential information obtained by Landlord or its agents during such access shall be treated confidentially. Landlord and its agents, employees and contractors

 

55


shall use reasonable care with respect to Tenant’s personal property located in the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, neither Landlord, nor Landlord’s agents, representatives, contractors, or employees, may enter any portion of the Premises reasonably designated from time to time by Tenant as a security area (not to exceed 2,500 rentable square feet in the aggregate) without being accompanied by a representative of Tenant, except in the case of an emergency, provided that such areas are clearly labeled as such and Landlord is given at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of the location of such areas. In connection with any access, repairs, alterations, or other entry into the Premises as permitted under this Article or otherwise, other than in the event of an emergency, Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence so as to minimize the disturbance, but nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to perform the same on an overtime or premium pay basis, except that, other than in the event of an emergency, Landlord, at its expense, shall employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other premium pay rates if necessary to make any such repairs or alterations to be made by Landlord hereunder to remedy any condition that (1) results in a denial of reasonable access to any floor of the Premises, (2) threatens the health or safety of any occupant of the Premises, or (3) materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to conduct its business in any substantial or material portion of the Premises. In all other cases, at Tenant’s request, Landlord shall employ contractors or labor at so-called overtime or other premium pay rates and incur any other overtime costs or expenses in making any repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements, provided Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, within thirty (30) days after demand, an amount equal to the difference between (x) the overtime or other premium pay rates, including all fringe benefits and other elements of such pay rates, and (y) the regular pay rates for such labor, including all fringe benefits and other elements of such pay rates. In making any repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements, Landlord shall cause its contractors or labor to cover and secure such repair areas and equipment in such a manner to minimize interference with Tenant’s business operations during Business Hours.

For a period commencing eighteen (18) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord may have reasonable access to the Premises at all reasonable hours and upon reasonable advance notice for the purpose of exhibiting the same to prospective tenants.

ARTICLE XVI

RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEES

16.1 SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

(a) This Lease and the interest of Tenant hereunder shall be superior to the rights of any holder of a mortgage or holder of a ground lease or property that includes the Premises, unless any such holder enters into a non-disturbance agreement with Tenant in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant and such holder providing that Tenant shall not be disturbed in its use or occupancy of the Premises for as long as this Lease continues in full force and effect and shall be afforded the protection of all of its rights and benefits hereunder (such agreement, a “SNDA”). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, any holder of a mortgage or holder of a ground lease of property which includes the Premises, executed and recorded before or (if such holder wishes to subordinate this Lease to such mortgage or ground lease) subsequent to the date of this Lease, shall enter into a SNDA. The form attached hereto as Exhibit SNDA is acceptable to Tenant.

 

56


(b) Forthwith upon the request of Landlord, the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Premises, or the lessor under any ground lease affecting the Premises, Tenant shall execute and deliver to such party an attornment agreement providing that Tenant shall attorn to such holder or lessor in the event of a foreclosure of such mortgage or deed of trust or transfer in lieu thereof or a termination of such ground lease and incorporating such other terms and conditions as such party may reasonably require, provided that such agreement includes an agreement by such other party to recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease (Tenant agreeing that the form attached hereto as Exhibit SNDA is acceptable to it).

(c) Except for the mortgage held by Webster Bank, National Association, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that there is no mortgage or ground lease affecting the Lot or Building as of the date hereof.

16.2 NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE AND GROUND LESSOR

(a) After receiving notice from any person, firm, or other entity (or from Landlord on behalf of any such person, etc.) that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord as ground lessee which includes the Premises as a part of the premises demised thereunder, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such holder or ground lessor, and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as performance by Landlord. Accordingly, no act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall have such an effect unless and until Tenant shall have first given written notice to such holder or ground lessor, if any, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which could or would give basis to Tenant’s rights and such holder or ground lessor, after receipt of such notice, has failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of within a reasonable time thereafter (but not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days in any event), but nothing contained in this Section 16 or elsewhere in this Lease shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such holder or ground lessor to correct or cure any such condition.

16.3 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS

With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage or ground lease on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees:

(a) that the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage, or the ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder or ground lessor shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect; and

 

57


(b) that, except as aforesaid, such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises, or in the case of a ground lessor, the assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder by such ground lessor.

ARTICLE XVII

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

17.1 CAPTIONS

The captions throughout this Lease are for convenience or 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.

17.2 BIND AND INURE

Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, the obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The reference herein to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to assignment by Tenant, but has reference only to those instances in which Landlord may later give consent to a particular assignment as required by the provisions of Article VII. Neither the assignment by Landlord of its interest in this Lease as security to a lender holding a mortgage on the Building, nor the acceptance thereof by such lender, nor the exercise by such lender of any of its rights pursuant to said assignment shall be deemed in any way an assumption by such lender of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder unless such lender shall specifically otherwise elect in writing or unless such lender shall have completed foreclosure proceedings under said mortgage. Whenever the Premises are owned by a trustee or trustees, the obligations of Landlord shall be binding upon Landlord’s trust estate, but not upon any trustee, beneficiary or shareholder of the trust individually.

17.3 NO WAIVER

The failure of Landlord or of Tenant to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such violation or to prevent a subsequent act, which would originally have constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of Rent or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such breach by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing signed by Landlord. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord or Tenant to or of any breach of any agreement or duty shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same or any other agreement or duty.

17.4 NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION

No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the entire Rent then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such Rent due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent or any part thereof be deemed to be an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law or in equity provided.

 

58


17.5 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES

The specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which it may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions. Except as otherwise set forth herein, any obligations of Tenant as set forth herein (including, without limitation, rental and other monetary obligations, repair obligations and obligations to indemnify Landlord) that accrued before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for any expense incurred by Landlord in curing Tenant’s failure to satisfy any such obligation (notwithstanding the fact that such cure might be effected by Landlord following the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease).

17.6 PARTIAL INVALIDITY

If any term or provision of this Lease or any portion thereof or the application thereof to any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Lease and of such term or provision and the application of this Lease and of such term and provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

17.7 LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE

If Tenant shall at any time default in the performance of any obligation under this Lease beyond applicable notice and cure periods (except in the event of an emergency, in which case concurrent notice shall be given to the extent practicable), Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Premises and/or to perform such obligation, notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such substituted performance by Landlord is made in this Lease with respect to such default. In performing any such obligations, Landlord may make any payment of money or perform any other act. All sums so paid by Landlord (together with interest at the Lease Interest Rate) and all necessary incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be additional rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord within thirty (30) days of demand. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.

17.8 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

Each party agrees on the Commencement Date and from time to time thereafter, within not more than fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of written request by the other party, to

 

59


execute, acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in writing, certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, that the party making such statement has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay Rent and other charges required under this Lease and to perform its other covenants under this Lease and that, to the best of its knowledge, there are no uncured defaults of Landlord or Tenant under this Lease (or, if there have been any modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect, as modified, and stating the modifications, and, if there are any defenses, offsets, counterclaims or defaults, setting them forth in reasonable detail), the dates to which the Rent and other charges have been paid, and such other matters related to the Lease as the party requesting the same may reasonably require. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this Section 17.8 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the property which includes the Premises or any prospective assignee of any such mortgagee, as well as any prospective assignee or subtenant of Tenant. Failure of Tenant to provide the foregoing certificate within such 15 Business Day period shall be deemed to be a Default without regard for any other notice or cure period set forth herein.

17.9 BROKERAGE

Each party hereto warrants and represents that it has dealt with no real estate broker or agent other than the Brokers in connection with this transaction and agrees to defend, indemnify and save the other party harmless from and against any and all claims for commissions or fees arising out of this Lease which, as to the respective parties, are inconsistent with such party’s warranties and representations. Landlord shall be responsible for any commissions or fees owed to the Brokers in connection with this transaction. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Lease.

17.10 ENTIRE AGREEMENT

All negotiations, considerations, representations, and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and this Lease expressly supersedes any proposals or other written documents relating hereto. This Lease may be modified or altered only by written agreement 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.

17.11 SURRENDER; HOLDOVER

Upon the termination of the Lease Term, or upon any termination of Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord broom clean, free of Tenant’s Property, and otherwise in the condition that the Premises is required to be kept under this Lease, ordinary wear and tear, and damage from casualty to the extent that Landlord is required to restore the same pursuant to Article XII, excepted. Tenant shall surrender to Landlord all keys to the Premises and make known to Landlord the combination of all combination locks, if any, which Tenant is required to leave on the Premises. Tenant shall have no right to hold over after expiration of the Term. Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the Term of this Lease shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate equal to, for the first sixty (60) days during which Tenant holds over, one-and-one-half (1.5) times the Base Rent, Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment, and any other additional rent due

 

60


hereunder in effect on the Expiration Date, and thereafter the greater of (a) the then fair rental value of the Premises or (b) two (2) times the Base Rent, Tenant’s Operating Costs Payment, and any other additional rent due hereunder in effect on the Expiration Date. If Tenant holds over for more than sixty (60) days, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all consequential and/or indirect damages (including any loss of a tenant or rental income) sustained by Landlord 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. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to be a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights or remedies under this Lease, at law or otherwise except as expressly set forth herein.

17.12 COUNTERPARTS

This Lease may be executed in any number of counterparts, which together shall constitute the Lease. Executed signature pages of this Lease transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail shall be valid and binding as original signatures and shall be considered an agreement of the respective parties to fully execute and deliver originally signed copies of this Lease.

17.13 CONSTRUCTION AND GRAMMATICAL USAGE

This Lease shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and Tenant agrees to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any court (federal or state) in said Commonwealth for any dispute, claim or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Lease. In construing this Lease, feminine or neuter pronouns shall be substituted for those masculine in form and vice versa, and plural terms shall be substituted for singular and singular for plural in any place in which the context so admits or requires. The use of the word “including” shall mean “including, without limitation.” If there be more than one party tenant, the covenants of Tenant shall be the joint and several obligations of each such party and, if Tenant is a partnership, the covenants of Tenant shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the partners and the obligations of the firm. If any provision of this Lease is capable of two constructions, one of which would render the provision void and the other of which would render the provision valid, the provision shall have the meaning that renders it valid. As used in this Lease: (a) the word “or” is not exclusive and the word “including” is not limiting; (b) the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Lease as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision; and (c) the word “Lease” means the body of this Lease and all schedules, exhibits, and attachments hereto. Wherever a period of time is stated in this Lease as commencing or ending on specified dates, such period of time shall be deemed (i) inclusive of such stated commencement and ending dates, and (ii) to commence at 12:00 A.M. Eastern Time on such stated commencement date and to end at 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on such stated ending date.

17.14 WHEN LEASE BECOMES BINDING

Employees or agents of Landlord have no authority to make or agree to make a lease or any other agreement or undertaking in connection herewith. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant.

 

61


17.15 SECURITY DEPOSIT

Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Lease, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an irrevocable standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amount of the Security Deposit Amount issued in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L/C by Silicon Valley Bank or any other bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (the “Bank”). Landlord shall hold the Letter of Credit as security (the “Security Deposit”) for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed under this Lease. The Security Deposit may not be deemed by Tenant to constitute rent for any month. Landlord shall have the right, from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to draw upon the Letter of Credit if a Default has occurred and is continuing (or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the last sentence of this paragraph) and apply such drawn funds to Landlord’s damages hereunder, in which event Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, restore the balance of the Letter of Credit to the Security Deposit Amount, by issuance of a replacement Letter of Credit. Tenant shall not have the right to call upon Landlord to apply all or any part of the Security Deposit to cure any defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Lease where such default continues beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, but such use shall be solely in the discretion of Landlord. Tenant shall maintain the Letter of Credit, or a substitute Letter of Credit from the Bank (or another bank approved by Landlord and conforming to the requirements of this Section 17.15), in accordance with the terms hereof, in full force and effect at all times through the Term and for sixty (60) days thereafter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall have no right to use or apply any portion of the Letter of Credit unless a Default of Tenant has occurred and is continuing, or would have occurred with the giving of notice and passage of applicable cure periods, but transmittal of a default notice is stayed or barred by applicable bankruptcy or other similar law, or unless Landlord is entitled to do so under the following paragraph.

If the Letter of Credit will expire before the date that is sixty (60) days following the Expiration Date or earlier expiration of the Term, Tenant shall replace the Letter of Credit deposited with Landlord by providing Landlord with a substitute Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior (each such 30th day prior being referred to herein as a “Change Date”) to the expiration date of the then effective Letter of Credit in the Security Deposit Amount. Any failure by Tenant to provide such a substitute Letter of Credit before any Change Date shall entitle Landlord to draw on all funds available under the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord and hold the same as the Security Deposit. In such event, Landlord may require that Tenant replace such funds with a substitute Letter of Credit in the amount of the Security Deposit Amount by notice to Tenant. Tenant’s failure to provide a substitute Letter of Credit within ten (10) days after the giving of such Landlord’s notice shall be deemed a Default under this Lease for which no further notice or grace period shall apply. Any Letter of Credit shall be freely transferable without cost to Landlord, any such successor or any lender holding a collateral assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease. If the Bank that issued the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord (1) is placed into receivership or conservatorship by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor or similar entity, (2) fails to meet the Minimum Rating

 

62


Requirement, (3) enters into any supervisory agreement with any governmental authority; or (4) fails to meet any capital requirements imposed by applicable Requirements, then Landlord may require that Tenant, within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice thereof, obtain, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, a substitute Letter of Credit from a different Bank satisfying the requirements of this Lease. For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Minimum Rating Requirement” means the short term unsecured debt obligations or commercial paper of the Bank are rated at least A-3 by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies (“S&P”), or, if an S&P rating is unavailable, P-3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or F-3 by Fitch IBCA, Inc. (“Fitch”) in the case of accounts in which funds are held for thirty (30) days or less, or, in the case of Letters of Credit or accounts in which funds are held for more than thirty (30) days, the long term unsecured debt obligations of which are rated at least “BBB” by S&P or, in the event an S&P rating is unavailable, “Baa3” by Moody’s or “BBB” by Fitch.

Within sixty (60) days following the later of (i) the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and (ii) the date Tenant vacates the Premises in accordance with this Lease, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit or so much thereof as shall not have theretofore been applied in accordance with the terms of this Section (or as may be reasonably determined by Landlord to be necessary to cure any default of Tenant hereunder that is then continuing beyond applicable notice, provided that if such default is cured before the expiration of the applicable cure period, any such amounts shall promptly be returned to Tenant). Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the Letter of Credit or any proceeds therefrom except as may be expressly required below. If Landlord obtains possession of any proceeds from the Letter of Credit, prior to applying the same to Tenant’s obligations in accordance with the terms of this Section, Landlord shall hold the proceeds as a cash Security Deposit as further described below.

If Landlord conveys Landlord’s interest under this Lease, the Letter of Credit may be assigned by Landlord to Landlord’s grantee, and if so assigned, provided that Landlord gives Tenant notice of the name of such grantee, and such grantee acknowledges receipt to Tenant thereof and assumes by written instrument delivered to Tenant Landlord’s obligations with respect to the Security Deposit from and after the date of such assumption (whether expressly or by assumption of the Lease, generally), Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee for proper application of the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Section and the return thereof in accordance herewith. Upon such delivery, Tenant hereby releases Landlord named herein of any and all liability with respect to the Letter of Credit, the application of any proceeds thereof and its return, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee. This provision shall also apply to subsequent grantees. Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the lessor in a ground lease of property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of Security Deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless the Security Deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder or ground lessor. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may be required to pledge the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to any lender holding a collateral assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease and agrees to provide Landlord with such documentation as Landlord may reasonably request, and to cooperate with Landlord as is reasonably necessary (provided that Landlord pays any material and reasonable out of pocket costs incurred by Tenant in connection therewith) to evidence the consent to such pledge by the issuer of the Letter of Credit. Tenant may assign its rights to the Security Deposit to any permitted assignee in connection with a permitted assignment of this Lease by written notice to Landlord (whether expressly or by inclusion within the assignment of the Lease).

 

63


Any portion of the Security Deposit held in the form of cash from time to time during the term by Landlord (the “Cash Security Deposit”) shall be subject to the following terms. The Cash Security Deposit will be held by Landlord as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed under this Lease. The Cash Security Deposit may not be deemed by Tenant to constitute rent for any month. Landlord may, to the extent permitted by Requirements, commingle the Cash Security Deposit with other funds of Landlord and no interest shall be payable to Tenant thereon unless and except to the extent required by applicable Requirements. The then remaining portion of the Cash Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after expiration of the Term, provided there then exists no breach of any undertaking of Tenant hereunder for which Tenant has received notice (and if such breach is cured before the expiration of the applicable cure period, any such amounts shall promptly be returned to Tenant). Tenant shall not have the right to call upon Landlord to apply all or any part of the Cash Security Deposit to cure any defaults in respect of any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Lease where such default continues beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or cure period, but such use shall be solely in the discretion of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord shall have no right to use or apply any portion of the Cash Security Deposit unless a Default of Tenant has occurred and is continuing.

Upon any conveyance by Landlord of its interest under this Lease, the Cash Security Deposit shall be delivered by Landlord to Landlord’s grantee. Upon any such delivery, provided Landlord gives Tenant notice of the name of such grantee, Tenant hereby releases Landlord herein named of any and all liability with respect to the Cash Security Deposit, its application and return, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such grantee or transferee. This provision shall also apply to subsequent grantees and transferees. Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the lessor in a ground lease of property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of Security Deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless the Security Deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder or ground lessor.

Provided that Tenant is not then in monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease following applicable notice from Landlord of such default, but without regard for any cure period, Tenant shall be entitled to reduce the Security Deposit Amount from the amount initially set forth in Section 1.2, above, to the sum of $1,958,441.50 on one occasion following the second anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date by delivery of an amended or replacement Letter of Credit to Landlord in compliance with the provisions of this Section 17.15.

17.16 TENANT’S FINANCIAL CONDITION.

If Tenant is no longer publicly traded on a nationally recognized exchange at any time during the term of this Lease, or Tenant’s financial information ceases to be publicly available during the Lease Term for any reason, then, within ten (10) days after request by Landlord from time to time but in no event on more than two occasions in any twelve (12) month period, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord Tenant’s financial statements (which shall be audited if available and

 

64


which shall be for the latest available year and in any event for a year ended not more than fifteen (15) months prior to Landlord’s request). Such financial statements may be delivered by Landlord to its mortgagees and lenders and prospective mortgagees, lenders and purchasers but shall otherwise be held in confidence (other than disclosures required pursuant to applicable Requirements). Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that each such financial statement shall be true and accurate as of the date of such statement.

17.17 ROOFTOP AND CONDUIT RIGHTS

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right, at no charge, but subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of all aspects thereof, including, without limitation, the plans and specifications and the contractors therefor, to use the roof of the Building (other than the areas reserved to Landlord for use by Landlord and anyone claiming by through or under Landlord in the location indicated on Exhibit RESERVED ROOF AREA attached hereto (the “Reserved Roof Area”)) to install, maintain, repair, replace and operate appropriate equipment for use by occupants of the Premises (including, without limitation, a reasonable number of microwave or satellite dishes, antennae, and a reasonable amount of air conditioning equipment) (collectively, the “Roof Equipment”). To the extent existing access conduits from the Roof Area through the core areas in the Building are not sufficient to service the Roof Equipment, Tenant may not install additional access conduits without the prior approval of Landlord as to location and method of installation. In addition, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, to connect the Rooftop Equipment to electrical power via such conduits. Tenant, at Tenant’s cost, shall extend Landlord’s existing electrical service on the roof of the Building as is necessary to serve the Roof Equipment. Tenant may use the roof space solely for Tenant’s own use and for the concurrent use by any subtenant or assignee of any material portion of the Premises (but not for resale purposes). In connection therewith, Landlord shall make available to Tenant access to the roof space for the construction, installation, maintenance, repair, operation and use of Tenant’s Roof Equipment. Tenant shall comply with Landlord’s reasonable instructions to preserve the roof warranty and shall be responsible for all repairs and maintenance to the roof required as a result of Tenant’s installation, maintenance, repair, replacement or operation of any such equipment.

65


(d) Tenant shall not place a load upon the roof in excess of the design load capacity therefor;

(e) At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its expense, remove the Roof Equipment from the roof and repair all damage caused by such removal; and

Following any such temporary removal or relocation (to the extent possible, to other areas of the roof), Landlord agrees to cause such repairs or other necessary work on the roof to be completed as expeditiously as possible.

ARTICLE XVIII

RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO PURCHASE

18.1 RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO PURCHASE

The first time during the Lease Term Landlord intends to transfer its Ownership Interest In The Building (as defined below) to a third party that is not a transaction otherwise exempt from this Article XVIII as described below, Landlord shall give notice of such intention to Tenant (“Landlord’s Offer Notice”). Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Offer Notice (the “Negotiation Period”) to negotiate in good faith with Landlord for the purchase of the Ownership Interest In The Building; provided, however, in no event shall Landlord be required to accept any terms and conditions proposed by Tenant (Tenant’s rights under this Article XVIII being collectively referred to herein as Tenant’s “First Offer Right”). In the event Tenant indicates a desire to purchase Landlord’s Ownership Interest In The Building prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on a mutually acceptable purchase price and purchase and sale agreement by the end of the Negotiation Period, it being understood, however, that neither party shall have any obligation whatsoever to accept the terms and conditions proposed by the other during such negotiations or to enter into a purchase and sale agreement for the Ownership Interest In The Building on terms not acceptable to such party in its sole and absolute discretion. If the parties agree on terms and conditions within the Negotiation Period, Landlord and Tenant shall deliver to each other an executed copy of the purchase agreement agreed to by the parties during the Negotiation Period (the “Purchase Agreement”). The parties agree that the Purchase Agreement shall provide for a closing date that is not more than thirty (30) days after the end of the Negotiation Period. A “transfer” for the purposes of this Section 18.1 includes a sale, ground lease or any other conveyance or transfer by the Persons having an Ownership Interest In The Building. Landlord shall not, in bad faith, structure any transfer in a manner intended to evade the application of this Section 18.1 (e.g. by accomplishing the transfer of an Ownership Interest In The Building in a series of related transfers). In the event Tenant the parties execute a Purchase Agreement, the Ownership Interest In The Building shall be sold to Tenant in its then existing “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition, without representation or warranty by Landlord other than as to authority, OFAC, no notices of violation of Requirements, and no litigation relating to the Premises or Seller’s ability to complete such sale.

If the parties are unable to agree upon a Purchase Agreement during the Negotiation Period, or if Tenant shall fail to deliver a copy of the Purchase Agreement signed by Tenant by the end of the Negotiation Period, or if Tenant shall expressly waive in writing its First Offer Right hereunder, the provisions of this Article XVIII shall terminate and thereafter be null and void. If Tenant determines after receipt of Landlord’s First Offer Notice that it does not desire to purchase the Ownership Interest in the Building, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord.

If Landlord shall record an affidavit in the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds stating that: (i) Landlord has sent Landlord’s Offer Notice to Tenant in accordance with the requirements of this Article XVIII, and (ii) either that parties were unable to agree upon a Purchase Agreement during the Negotiation Period, or Tenant failed to deliver a copy of the Purchase Agreement signed by Tenant by the end of the Negotiation Period, or Tenant waived in writing its First Offer Right hereunder, then such affidavit shall be conclusive as to (A) compliance of Landlord with the requirements of this Article XVIII; and (B) termination of Tenant’s rights under this ARTICLE XVIII, and any other party shall be entitled to rely on the same.

 

70


As used in this XVIII, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

(a) “Ownership Interest In The Building” means ownership interests representing 100% of the direct or indirect ownership of the Building including, without limitation, the direct or indirect ownership interest in the Building held by any Person that holds title to the Building (“Title Holder”). A transfer of interest in any Person above the Title Holder shall not be deemed a transfer of the Ownership Interest In The Building. A ground lease of the Lot shall constitute a transfer of an Ownership Interest In The Building if such transfer, had it been of an interest in the Building, would have resulted in a transfer of 100% of the direct or indirect ownership of the Building.

(b) “Person” means any natural person or legal entity.

Tenant’s rights pursuant to this Article XVIII shall be limited to only the Tenant originally named hereunder and its Successor Entities, and such rights shall not be otherwise transferable. In addition, this Article XVIII shall not be available while a Default by Tenant is continuing hereunder and shall expire on the first to occur of the date that is twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, as the same may be extended, or the date that Tenant first subleases, in the aggregate, at least 25% of the Premises for the remainder of the Term. Tenant’s rights pursuant to this Article XVIII shall be a one-time right only and if Tenant does not purchase the Building after receipt of the first Landlord’s Offer Notice, Tenant shall have no further right to purchase the Building and this Article XVIII shall terminate and be of no further force and effect. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to grant to Tenant any rights or interest in any real property, and any claims by Tenant alleging a failure of Landlord to comply herewith shall be limited to claims for monetary damages or any other available equitable remedy, including an action for restraint by injunction. The prevailing party in any such action pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall be entitled to claim and collect all of its reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, arbitration fees, witness fees and court reporter costs) incurred in connection with such action. In the event that Landlord prevails in any such action, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord for any loss, cost, damage or injury that Landlord suffers on account of the delay caused by such proceeding, including without limitation any lost tenant leases for space in the Building or change in market conditions directly affecting a lease for tenant space in the Building. Tenant may not assert and hereby waives any rights in any real property, nor may Tenant file any lis pendens or similar notice with respect thereto.

In no event shall the provisions of this Article XVIII apply to:

(1) an exercise of a power of sale or other means of foreclosure by a bona fide mortgagee or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure by such mortgagee or its nominee.

(2) any sale/leaseback transaction made in connection with a bona fide financing, provided that the seller/lessee under any such transaction shall be bound by the provisions of this Article XVIII at such time, if any, as such seller/lessee reacquires title to the Building

 

71


(3) any sale or transfer of the Building (including by ground lease) to a partnership, corporation, limited liability company, trust or other entity that is under control by, common control with, or controls Landlord or any direct or indirect owner of Landlord, but any such transferee shall hold title subject to Tenant’s rights under this Article XVIII; or

(4) any transfer in the nature of a financing transaction with a financial institution that is made for a bona fide business purpose (i.e., other than in order to allow a transfer of the Building in avoidance of Tenant’s rights under this Article XVIII), including without limitation the granting of, or foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, under a mortgage.

Time is of the essence with respect to the matters set forth in this Article XVIII. Upon (x) any sale of the Building, or (y) the exercise of a power of sale or other means of foreclosure by a bona fide mortgagee or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure by such mortgagee or its nominee pursuant to clause (1), above, this Article XVIII shall be of no further force and effect. Upon such sale, Landlord shall be released from any and all claims arising under the Lease.

Any Landlord’s Offer Notice and information obtained by Tenant in connection therewith, and any information regarding a sale of the Building, provided to Tenant by Landlord pursuant to this Article XVIII shall be held confidential by Tenant and not disclosed to any third party except as required by law or in connection with any dispute between Landlord and Tenant regarding this Article XVIII and for disclosures to Tenant’s attorneys and third-party consultants to the extent such attorneys and consultants are reasonably required for Tenant to evaluate such information and, in each case, provided that such attorneys and consultants are made subject to the provisions of this paragraph. Any such information shall be returned by Tenant to Landlord in the event that Tenant’s rights under this Article XVIII terminate in accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing in this Article XVIII shall obligate Landlord to transfer its Ownership Interest In The Building or offer to do the same at any time during the term of this Lease, except as expressly set forth in this Article XVIII.

ARTICLE XIX

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE XX

ARBITRATION

20.1 Whenever (A) (1) Tenant shall be in default of any of the terms, provisions, or conditions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed beyond the expiration of any applicable notice or grace period provided for herein, (2) Tenant disputes the existence of such default in good faith, and (3) such default would prevent Tenant from exercising any option or right to extend or renew the original term of this Lease, or (B) this Lease expressly provides that a matter shall be determined by arbitration, such dispute under this Lease may be submitted to arbitration by either party under the then prevailing rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) before a single arbitrator under the Expedited Procedures provisions of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (the “AAA Rules”).

 

72


20.2 The arbitrator conducting any arbitration shall be bound by the provisions of this Lease and shall not have the power to add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify such provisions. Landlord and Tenant shall sign all documents and do all other things reasonably necessary to submit any such matter to arbitration and waive any and all rights they or either of them may at any time have to revoke their agreement hereunder to submit to arbitration and to abide by the decision rendered thereunder, which shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and shall constitute an “award” by the arbitrator within the meaning of the AAA Rules and applicable law. Judgment may be had on the decision and award of the arbitrators so rendered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each arbitrator shall be a qualified, disinterested and impartial person who shall have had at least ten (10) years’ experience in Boston in an occupation connected with the matter of the dispute. Landlord and Tenant may each appear and be represented by counsel before such arbitrator and submit such data and memoranda in support of their respective positions in the matter in dispute as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. Each party hereunder shall pay its own costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, counsel, experts and presentation of proof) in connection with any arbitration or other action or proceeding brought under this Article XX, and the expenses and fees of the arbitrator selected shall be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions hereof, the arbitrator may award damage costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and interest. If (i) the arbitrator shall award judgment solely to either party (the “Prevailing Party”), and (ii) the other party (the “Non-Prevailing Party”) shall not comply with the terms of such judgment, and (iii) the Prevailing Party shall commence an action to enforce the judgment, and (iv) the Prevailing Party is successful in such action, then the Non- Prevailing Party shall pay the Prevailing Party’s out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the enforcement of the arbitrators’ judgment.

EXHIBIT WORK LETTER

I. Base Building Work and Completion of Landlord’s Work.

(A) Landlord, at its sole cost and expense except as expressly set forth herein, is in the process of undertaking and shall undertake, certain Building renovations (collectively, “Base Building Work”) in accordance with the plans and specifications attached hereto as Attachment 1 (as they may be modified pursuant to this Section I.A, the “BBW Plans and Specifications”). Tenant shall not be responsible for costs to change Landlord’s Work to the extent necessitated by the BBW Plans and Specifications being inconsistent with conditions such as existed on the Premises at the time the BBW Plans and Specifications were prepared. The Base Building Work is to be constructed in a good and workerlike manner, free of liens, asbestos, asbestos-containing materials, and any other toxic or hazardous substances or materials other than materials customarily found in construction materials in the construction of similar projects in the downtown Boston area and other than as disclosed on Exhibit EXISTING CONDITIONS, in accordance with the BBW Plans and Specifications and otherwise in compliance with all applicable Requirements (including without limitation Article 37 of the Boston Zoning Code), by Landlord’s contractor, Commodore Builders, or another contractor reasonably selected by Landlord (the “Contractor”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, Landlord is responsible, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, for causing the discharge of any mechanic’s or other liens arising from the Landlord’s Work (as defined below) provided Tenant pays all amounts due hereunder. Landlord shall use diligent efforts to Substantially Complete the Landlord’s Work (as defined below) on or before the Target Commencement Date. The Base Building Work and the Tenant Improvements are collectively referred to as the “Landlord’s Work”. “Substantial Completion” and “Substantially Complete” shall mean, that (i) all of Landlord’s Work has been completed in accordance with (A) the provisions of this Lease applicable thereto, (B) with respect to the Base Building Work, the BBW Plans and Specifications as the same may have changed in accordance with any applicable Tenant Requested Change and this Exhibit WORK LETTER, and, with respect to the Tenant Improvements (as defined below), in compliance with the Construction Documents in all material respects as the same may have changed in accordance with any applicable Tenant Improvements Change Order and this Exhibit WORK LETTER, and (C) all applicable Requirements, except for details or adjustments of a typical punch-list nature in similar projects (the “Punch List Items”) as would not interfere with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises for the intended use other than de minimis interference consistent with the nature of completing Punch List Items, (ii) Landlord shall have delivered to Tenant architects’ certificates certifying the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work and (iii) all applicable governmental approvals necessary for Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises (the “Occupancy Documentation”) have been issued with respect to Landlord’s Work (including a certificate of occupancy, which may be temporary or permanent, to the extent available in light of the completion status of the FF&E Work). Following Substantial Completion, if a temporary certificate of occupancy has been issued with respect to all or any portion of the Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall use diligent efforts to obtain a permanent certificate of occupancy from the City of Boston for the Landlord’s Work or the applicable portion thereof (to the extent available in light of the completion status of the FF&E Work) as soon as is reasonably practicable thereafter.

The “Commencement Date” shall mean the date that is the later to occur of (a) November 1, 2015, and (b) the date the entirety of Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete. Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of Landlord’s good faith estimate of the actual date of Substantial Completion and shall cooperate with Tenant to keep Tenant reasonably informed of the progress of the Landlord’s Work from time to time. Landlord may modify the BBW Plans and Specifications from time to time provided that Landlord delivers copies of any such modifications to Tenant, and so long as Base Building Work remains consistent with the design standards of the initial BBW Plans and Specifications and does not materially affect the cost or design of the Tenant Improvements. If requested by Landlord in writing, Tenant shall, within ten (10) Business Days following submission of any such modified BBW Plans and Specifications to Tenant by Landlord, confirm in writing whether any such modifications violate the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence. Landlord shall consult with Tenant from time to time, no less often than monthly, regarding the progress and scheduling of Landlord’s Work (Landlord’s request for Tenant’s attendance at monthly construction meetings shall be deemed compliance with the foregoing consultation requirement, regardless of whether a representative of Tenant attends such meetings).

Upon the Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall notify Tenant, and within fifteen (15) days after the Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work, Landlord and Tenant shall conduct a joint inspection of the Premises for the purpose of preparing a list of the Punch List Items. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts (without being obligated to employ overtime labor or to incur any extraordinary expenses in connection therewith, and subject to extension due to Tenant Delays or any of the causes or reasons set forth in Section 8.3) (1) to complete such Punch List Items within thirty (30) days after the finalization of the list of Punch List Items (except for any Punch List Items that, with the exercise of reasonable due diligence, require additional time to perform or lead time to obtain), and (2) to perform such Punch List Items in a manner that minimizes any interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises (it being agreed that Landlord shall not perform such Punch List Items in a manner that causes any material interference with Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises). If Landlord fails to complete the Punch List Items within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, and such failure continues for an additional five (5) Business Days after additional notice thereof to Landlord (such notice to state expressly Tenant’s intention to exercise its rights under this paragraph), both such periods subject to any Tenant Delay or the causes listed in Section 8.3 of the Lease, Tenant may complete the applicable Punch List Items for the account and at the expense of Landlord. All reasonable out-of-pocket expenditures made by Tenant in connection therewith shall, at Landlord’s option, either be paid to Tenant by Landlord within thirty (30) days after submission by Tenant to Landlord of a reasonably detailed invoice therefor or credited against the next installment of Base Rent thereafter becoming due hereunder.

Landlord shall cause its general contractor or contractors performing the Landlord’s Work to warrant that Landlord’s Work shall be free of defects in workmanship and materials for a period of one year following Substantial Completion and, upon notice from Tenant given promptly after identification of such defect and given no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration of such period, shall remedy or shall cause the general contractor(s) to remedy any such defects; provided, however, that the foregoing warranty shall not be construed or interpreted as exculpating Landlord from any of its maintenance, repair and replacement obligations set forth elsewhere in this Lease.

(B) If Landlord shall be delayed in Substantially Completing the Landlord’s Work or any portion thereof or in completing any other element of Landlord’s Work required hereunder as a result of the occurrence of any of the following (a “Tenant Delay”):

(i) Any request by Tenant that Landlord delay the completion of any component of Landlord’s Work;

(ii) Any delay resulting from Tenant’s interference with the Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work (provided that Landlord promptly notifies Tenant of any factor that it believes is resulting or will result in a Tenant Delay under this clause (ii) and takes reasonable steps to limit the effect of such factor);

(iii) Any delay resulting from the failure of Tenant to make any submission or to respond to any submission to Tenant from Landlord on or before the deadline for such submission or response as set forth in the Lease or this Exhibit;

(iv) Any delay resulting from Landlord’s inability to obtain permits for the Tenant Improvements on account of the design of the Tenant Improvements and/or the inability of Landlord to obtain Occupancy Documentation for the Premises or Building by reason of the failure of the Construction Documents for the Tenant Improvements to comply with applicable Requirements; provided that Landlord shall notify Tenant within ten (10) Business Days following review of the applicable plans if Landlord anticipates that the design of the Tenant Improvements will cause a delay resulting from inability to obtain permits (but the failure of Landlord to anticipate such delay shall not relieve Tenant from any claim of Tenant Delay actually caused by the design of the Tenant Improvements) and Landlord shall notify Tenant if Landlord becomes aware that the Construction Documents for the Tenant Improvements fail to comply with applicable Requirements;

(v) Any delay resulting from a Tenant Requested Change or Tenant Improvements Change Order (each as defined below); or

(vi) Any other delay resulting from the acts or omissions (where a duty to act existed) of Tenant, its agents, employees or independent contractors, including any delay arising out of the FF&E Work (provided that Landlord promptly notifies Tenant of any factor that it believes is resulting or will result in a Tenant Delay under this clause (vi) and takes reasonable steps to limit the effect of such factor);

then, for purposes of determining the Commencement Date, the date of Substantial Completion shall be deemed to be the day that all of the Landlord’s Work would have been Substantially Completed absent any such Tenant Delay. Landlord shall notify Tenant of any alleged Tenant Delay pursuant to clauses (ii) or (vi), above, in writing, within five (5) Business Days following the occurrence thereof. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any increase in the actual out-of-pocket costs of the Landlord’s Work or other work being constructed by Landlord in the Building, resulting from a Tenant Delay within thirty (30) days after billing.

The Target Commencement Date shall be extended by one day for each day of Tenant Delay. In connection therewith, Landlord and Tenant have agreed to determine the length of any Tenant Delay as follows (in all events after deducting Landlord Delay as provided under Section

 

3


II of this Exhibit WORK LETTER, below): (i) in the event of any “Agreed Tenant Delay” referenced in this Work Letter, the length of such delay shall be as agreed upon in writing by the parties at the time such delay arises, and (ii) with respect to any other Tenant Delay, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the claimed length of such Tenant Delay and Tenant may elect by written notice delivered to Landlord within ten (10) Business Days thereafter to dispute the claimed Tenant Delay in accordance with Section III below. Unless such estimate is disputed by written notice delivered within such ten (10) Business Day period, the claimed Tenant Delay shall be deemed to be a period no less than that set forth in Landlord’s notice.

(C) Landlord shall coordinate the schedules for performance of the Base Building Work and the Tenant Improvements. Landlord’s failure to Substantially Complete Landlord’s Work on or before the Target Commencement Date, or to substantially complete any element of the Landlord’s Work by any particular time, shall not give rise to any liability of Landlord hereunder, shall not constitute Landlord’s default, and shall not affect the validity of this Lease, except as expressly provided in this subparagraph C. In the event Landlord is unable to Substantially Complete the Landlord’s Work on or before the date that is sixty (60) days following the Target Commencement Date, time being of the essence with respect to such date but as such date may be extended for the causes or reasons set forth in Section 8.3 of the Lease or Tenant Delay (the “Outside Completion Date”), then Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent shall be abated one (1) additional day for each day during the period beginning on the Outside Completion Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the date Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete or (ii) the day prior to the date such abatement increases in accordance with the following paragraph.

If the Landlord’s Work is not Substantially Complete on or before the date that is sixty (60) days following the Outside Completion Date, for which date time is of the essence but as such date may be extended for the causes or reasons set forth in Section 8.3 of the Lease or as a result of Tenant Delay, then Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent shall thereafter be abated two (2) additional days for each day thereafter until the date Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete.

(D) Promptly after the determination of the Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into one or more letter agreements (any such letter agreement, a “Commencement Letter”) in form attached as EXHIBIT COMMENCEMENT DATE LETTER. Tenant shall execute any such Commencement Letter and return same to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s receipt thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that the failure of any party to deliver a Commencement Letter shall have no bearing on the Commencement Date or any other dates that are determined from the Commencement Date.

(E) Tenant may, no later than November 21, 2014, from time to time request reasonable interior changes to the restrooms, elevator lobbies and main lobby finishes only (any such change, a “Tenant Requested Change”) in the Base Building Work to accommodate Tenant’s interior space design or system requirements, subject to the following: in the event that Tenant proposes any changes to the Base Building Work pursuant to the foregoing, Landlord shall, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a Tenant Requested Change, provide Tenant with (x) Landlord’s architectural and engineering design proposals (to be prepared by Landlord’s

consultants at Tenant’s expense on a time and materials basis (the “Tenant Change Processing Expense”)) and (y) order of magnitude conceptual pricing setting for in reasonable detail the estimate of the out-of-pocket additional costs and the amount of Tenant Delay to be incurred to implement the Tenant Requested Change (“Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice”). Tenant shall, within five (5) Business Days of receiving Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice, either withdraw the Tenant Requested Change or authorize Landlord to proceed with the preparation of revised plans for the Base Building Work reflecting such change at Tenant’s expense to be paid to Landlord as additional rent, and shall pay the Tenant Change Processing Expense in any event. Tenant’s failure to timely reply to Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice shall be deemed to be a withdrawal of Tenant’s request for such change, but Tenant shall remain responsible for the Tenant Change Processing Expense. To the extent a Tenant Requested Change will result in a net reduction in the cost of the Base Building Work pursuant to Landlord’s contract for the same, the amount of such net reduction (as stated in Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice) with respect to such Tenant Requested Change shall be added to the Allowance (as defined below). In connection with a Tenant Requested Change resulting in a net reduction in the cost of the Base Building Work, Landlord shall include its good faith estimate of the amount of the net reduction in the cost of the Base Building Work as a result of such Tenant Requested Change in the Landlord Change Estimate Notice.

Landlord shall make such Tenant Requested Change provided that (i) within five (5) Business Days after Tenant’s acceptance of Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, one hundred percent (100%) of the increased costs as the same are specified in Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice, and within thirty (30) days after Landlord or Landlord’s consultants have certified to Tenant that the Tenant Requested Change is substantially complete, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, the balance of the increased costs, (ii) the change is consistent with the governmental approvals and permits authorizing the performance of the Landlord’s Work, (iii) the change is consistent with first quality design standards for office space and does not have a material adverse effect on the value of the Building or Property, (iv) Tenant authorizes Landlord to make such change pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, (v) Tenant agrees in writing that such change constitutes a Tenant Delay and Landlord and Tenant agree in writing to the amount of such Tenant Delay (any such Tenant Delay, an “Agreed Tenant Delay”) (and in any event that such changes in the aggregate do not result in more than thirty (30) days of delay in the Substantial Completion of the Landlord’s Work, or cause Landlord to miss any deadline set forth in Landlord’s construction loan, in each case as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion); (vi) such change does not materially and adversely affect the Building systems or structural elements of the Building or the completion and occupancy of any portion of the Building other than the Premises. Upon the written request of Tenant, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable contractor to quote the cost for any Tenant Requested Change on a lump sum or a guaranteed maximum price basis in the issuance of a change order therefor. If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that Tenant authorizes Landlord to make the Tenant Requested Change and satisfies the other requirements set forth in this paragraph, but Tenant does not agree with Landlord’s cost estimate for construction work as set forth in Landlord’s Change Estimate Notice, then Tenant may, by notice to Landlord set forth in Tenant’s notice authorizing Landlord to proceed with such change pursuant to clause (iv), above, elect to have the work performed on a time and materials basis in accordance with Landlord’s construction contract. Landlord shall provide Tenant all reasonable cost accounting information regarding any Tenant Requested Change provided to Landlord by Landlord’s contractor or otherwise reasonably available to Landlord.

II. Tenant Improvements.

(A) Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement from the Allowance) prepare complete, coordinated construction drawings and specifications (the “Construction Documents”) for the entire Premises as necessary for Tenant’s initial occupancy of the Premises (the “Tenant Improvements”). Nothing in the prior sentence being deemed to obligate Tenant to prepare any plans, drawings or specifications for any of the Base Building Work. The Tenant Improvements do not include the FF&E Work (as defined below). Tenant acknowledges that the Construction Documents will have been prepared by Tenant’s architect and engineers and, accordingly, Tenant agrees to cause its architect to provide construction administration services to Landlord for the Tenant Improvements and FF&E Work, including the review and approval of requisitions by the general contractor and the provision of certifications necessary to cause Substantial Completion to occur.

At all times, Landlord and Tenant will act promptly (and in any case within five (5) Business Days following delivery of notice from Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, unless expressly provided otherwise herein) on any construction-related questions or matters, including final color approvals and substitutions; provided, however, Landlord’s period to act shall be reasonably extended to the extent Landlord’s Contractor’s input or response is necessary for resolving such questions or matters.

In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant shall prepare and deliver plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements for Landlord’s review and approval, and Landlord shall act as required below, in accordance with the following schedule:

Tenant to deliver schematic plans to Landlord for the Tenant Improvements on or before November 21, 2014 (the “Schematic Plans”);

To the extent the same may be determined from the Schematic Plans, Landlord to provide feedback concerning cost implications resulting from Tenant Requested Changes in the Base Building Work and any anticipated delays in permitting for the Tenant Improvements based upon the Schematic Plans on or before the date ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Schematic Plans;

Tenant to provide Landlord with complete building permit plans for the Tenant Improvements (the “Building Permit Plans”) on or before December 19, 2014;

Landlord to provide Tenant with an estimated cost of the Tenant Improvements (with the estimated price for the same broken out in consultation with the Contractor) and an estimated schedule for completion of the Tenant Improvements within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Building Permit Plans;

 

6


  Tenant to provide Landlord with completed Construction Documents on or before February 14, 2015.

Landlord, Tenant, the Contractor and the architects will meet weekly during the design process described above.

Tenant has retained, and Landlord has approved, Spagnolo Gisness & Associates, Inc. as Tenant’s architect for the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall retain Landlord’s structural engineer for the Tenant Improvements, if any portion of the Tenant Improvements affects structural components of the Building, and shall retain mechanical, electrical and plumbing engineers reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Even though such engineer (or any other engineers or architect, if Tenant engages Landlord’s engineers or architect) has been otherwise engaged by Landlord in connection with the Building, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the contractual undertakings and costs and expenses of all architectural and engineering services relating to the Tenant Improvements arising therefrom (subject to reimbursement from the Allowance), including, without limitation, any changes necessary to ensure the adequacy and completeness of any plans, including the Construction Documents, submitted to Landlord. Tenant’s architects and engineers shall be responsible for all elements of the plans for the Tenant Improvements (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment, and continuity with the Base Building Work), and Landlord’s approval of any Tenant plans, including Construction Documents, shall in no event relieve Tenant of the responsibility therefor; provided, however, that Landlord and its architects and consultants in reviewing the Building Permit Plans shall use reasonable efforts to identify any issues associated with the continuity between the Tenant Improvements and the Base Building Work within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the Building Permit plans, but failure to do so shall not relieve Tenant of the foregoing obligation or impose any liability upon Landlord, its architects or consultants (except that the foregoing limitation on liability shall not operate to limit the liability to Tenant of any consultant retained by Tenant with respect to the Tenant Improvements). Tenant shall be responsible for reimbursing Landlord for the reasonable out-of-pocket third-party expenses incurred by Landlord in having its architects, engineers and other consultants reviewing any submissions in connection with the Tenant Improvements, and Landlord may deduct such expenses from the Allowance, provided that prior to deducting any such expenses, Landlord shall provide Tenant with written notice thereof, together with reasonable supporting documentation.

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Tenant Improvements and the Construction Documents shall not include the roof deck which Tenant may desire to have constructed on the Building (the “Roof Deck”). If Tenant desires to have Landlord construct the Roof Deck, Tenant may concurrent with the delivery of the Construction Documents, deliver separate construction drawings and specifications for the Roof Deck prepared in accordance with the same requirements as are applicable to the Construction Documents, for Landlord’s review and approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to the Roof Deck, Tenant agrees to comply with the same terms and obligations imposed upon Tenant with respect to the Roof Equipment under Section 17.17 of the Lease. Upon approval of the plans and specifications for the Roof Deck by Landlord, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain permits and approvals for the Roof Deck, at Tenant’s expense, separate from the permits

and approvals for the Landlord’s Work, but Landlord shall not be liable for any delay resulting from Landlord’s inability to obtain permits for the Roof Deck and the construction of the Roof Deck shall not be a condition precedent to the Commencement Date. If to be performed by Landlord, the construction of the Roof Deck shall be in accordance with the same requirements applicable to the Tenant Improvements at Tenant’s expense, but Tenant may utilize any portion of the Allowance not exhausted by the Tenant Improvements towards the construction of the Roof Deck.

The Construction Documents must provide for Tenant Improvements costing no less than $60 per rentable square foot in hard costs (the “TI Minimum”).

Subject to the provisions of this Work Letter, Tenant may, from time to time, by written order to Landlord on a form reasonably specified by Landlord (“Tenant Improvements Change Order”), request Landlord’s approval of a change in the Tenant Improvements shown on the Construction Documents, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed in accordance with Article VI of the Lease. All Tenant modifications to the Construction Documents, whether material or not, shall be made only by Tenant Improvements Change Order submitted in timely fashion to Landlord and approved by Landlord. The price to be paid for Excess Tenant Improvements (as defined below) shall be adjusted for any Tenant Improvements Change Order. Landlord shall be authorized to proceed with work shown on any Tenant Improvements Change Order as further set forth below.

(B) Provided that no Default is continuing, Landlord shall contribute the sum of $8,835,075 ($75 per rentable square foot) toward the cost of performing the Tenant Improvements (including on account of any Tenant Improvements Change Order) (the “Allowance”). The Allowance may only be used for (x) soft costs (which shall include costs of preparing design and construction documents and mechanical and electrical plans for the Tenant Improvements; professional fees to be paid to Tenant’s engineers, architects, project managers, and other design consultants; moving costs, computer wiring and cabling, permit and license fees), and the construction supervision fee payable to Landlord as set forth below (but the following cap shall not in any way limit the construction supervision fee due to Landlord hereunder) (“Soft Costs”), in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1,767,015 ($15 per rentable square foot), and (y) for hard costs in connection with the Tenant Improvements (which hard costs shall include, without limitation, costs of construction, labor and materials, and all forms of demolition, construction, alterations, and cosmetic improvements, including, without limitation, the cost of a supplemental air-conditioning unit and the general contractor’s fee payable to the general contractor for the Tenant Improvements as set forth below) [((x) and (y) are hereinafter collectively referred to as “Eligible Costs”)]. All Tenant Improvements (including, without limitation, any Tenant Improvements Change Orders) the cost of which exceeds the Allowance shall be “Excess Tenant Improvements.” All Excess Tenant Improvements shall be performed at the sole expense of Tenant, such costs being considered additional rent hereunder. To the extent the Contractor (or another contractor) requests a change order with respect to the Tenant Improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate with each other, and meet with the Contractor (or such other contractor), in order to mitigate the costs of such change order to Tenant and the impact on the schedule for the Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvements.

 

8


Tenant shall pay for Excess Tenant Improvements to Landlord as additional rent as further set forth below. The price for constructing any Tenant Improvements shall be equal to Landlord’s Direct Costs incurred in connection with performing the Tenant Improvements, and payable as additional rent. Landlord’s Direct Costs shall mean the total cost payable by Landlord (or its general contractor) to subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, etc. (including any portions of such reasonable amounts designated subcontractor’s or materialmen’s profit, fee, overhead, and the like); plus all costs of insuring the Tenant Improvements and all costs of obtaining permits and inspections required by governmental authorities in connection with the Tenant Improvements; all applicable state sales or use taxes, if any, payable in connection with the Tenant Improvements; a construction supervision fee of four percent (4%) of total costs (excluding Soft Costs); Tenant acknowledging that amounts payable to the general contractor by Landlord hereunder include so-called general conditions items paid to the general contractor on an actual, direct cost basis on the same terms as are provided to Landlord under its contract for the Base Building Work not to exceed 10%, a general contractor’s fee of 2% payable to the general contractor, and a reasonable general contractor’s contingency not to exceed 5% of the Base Price. The Landlord’s contract with the Contractor (or another contractor approved by Tenant as provided in subsection (D) below) for the Tenant Improvements shall (i) be in the form of a cost plus fee contract subject to a guaranteed maximum price and the work shall be conducted on a so-called “open book” basis, (ii) not provide for a right of the general contractor to share in any savings in a manner materially less favorable to Tenant then the savings-sharing mechanism used for the Base Building Work is to Landlord, and (iii) provide for retainage on the same basis as the Base Building Work contract. Tenant shall have no right to object to the cost of any item of Landlord’s Direct Costs (other than objections based on the inclusion of costs, or the amounts of such included costs, in violation of the terms of Landlord’s contract with the general contractor) after the time that Tenant has authorized Landlord to proceed with the Tenant Improvements or been deemed to authorize Landlord to proceed pursuant to the terms of this Exhibit WORK LETTER. Landlord’s invoices for additional rent on account of Excess Tenant Improvements may include any materials and equipment purchased to be part of Tenant Improvements and stored on the Property or some other location approved by Landlord and all deposits made on the purchase of such materials and equipment, provided that any invoice for elements of work stored at a location other than the Property shall contain copies of third party invoices therefor and evidence that such property is covered by Landlord’s or the general contractor’s insurance and that Tenant shall have the right to inspect any elements of work stored at location other than the Property upon Tenant’s written request. Within ninety (90) days of the completion of all items of Tenant Improvements listed on the Final Punchlist, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a final invoice prepared by Landlord for all Excess Tenant Improvements (the Tenant Improvements Reconciliation Statement”). Such statement shall be conclusive between the parties unless the statement is incorrect and is disputed by Tenant by notice to Landlord given within ten (10) Business Days of Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of the statement. Upon issuance thereof, there shall be adjustments between Landlord and Tenant to the end that Landlord shall have received the exact amount due to Landlord hereunder on account of Excess Tenant Improvements, if any. Any overpayment by Tenant shall be credited against the next payments of Base Rent due hereunder or, if the Lease has terminated for reason other than a default by Tenant, shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant. Any underpayment by Tenant shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s invoice. Any and all payments required to be made by Tenant under this Work Letter, whether to Landlord or to third parties, shall be deemed additional rent for purposes of the Lease.

Within fourteen (14) days following Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s Construction Documents to Landlord, Landlord shall direct Landlord’s general contractor for the Building to solicit at least three bids (or such fewer number of bids as Landlord and Tenant may reasonably agree, if three bids is impractible in light of the nature of the item and the Landlord’s construction schedule) for each subcontractor trade agreed to be so bid between Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall work cooperatively to determine the subcontractor trades to be bid within thirty (30) days following the execution of this Lease, and, if they are unable to reach agreement on the identity of such trades within such period, shall submit such dispute to resolution by arbitration pursuant to Section III below. Tenant may designate at least one subcontractor for each trade for inclusion in the bidding, subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of such bidders. Landlord shall promptly supply Tenant with such detailed information about bid requests and negotiations with contractors as Tenant may reasonably request, provided that any delays resulting from Tenant’s failure to act within five (5) Business Days following Landlord’s delivery of such information to Tenant shall constitute a Tenant Delay. In the case of each bid request, Landlord will accept the lowest responsible bid from a contractor that can meet the Landlord’s construction schedule, provided, however, that if Tenant reasonably objects to a particular contractor within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the detailed information about such contractor’s bid request and negotiation, then Landlord will not accept such contractor’s bid, unless Landlord and Tenant reasonably determine otherwise. Prior to execution of the proposed contract with the Contractor for the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the final guaranteed maximum price construction cost of the Tenant Improvements (the “Base Price”), which notice shall set forth on a detailed line item basis the elements of such cost, including, without limitation, the contractor’s fee, general conditions costs, and the contractor’s contingency as determined under Section II(B) of this Work Letter, to be calculated based on Tenant’s Construction Documents and the foregoing bidding. Tenant shall have the rights specified in subsection (D) below in the event Tenant desires to value engineer the Tenant Improvements after receipt of the Base Price. In the event that the Base Price will exceed the Allowance (the “Excess Cost”), then Tenant shall pay on a monthly basis, as additional rent, within five (5) Business Days following delivery by Landlord of each invoice therefor (together with a copy of the general contractor’s requisition with respect to the Tenant Improvements for the most recent billing period for Tenant’s information purposes only), the cost of the Tenant Improvements included in such billing period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Cost and the denominator of which is the Base Price (by way of example, if the Base Price is $10,000,000 and the Allowance is $8,835,075 then the Excess Cost is $1,165,925, and Tenant would pay 11.65% of each monthly invoice for the cost of the Tenant Improvements). To the extent an excess over the Allowance results from, or increases as a result of, a change order with respect to the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall pay such amount within five (5) Business Days of Landlord’s demand. Landlord shall have the right to suspend the performance of the Tenant Improvements (and the period of suspension shall be a Tenant Delay) in the event Tenant does not make such payments by the date due.

To the extent that Tenant incurs any Eligible Costs that are soft costs, Tenant may obtain reimbursement from the Allowance, to the extent any then remains after receipt of, and any adjustments due under, the Tenant Improvements Reconciliation Statement, and such amounts

 

10


shall be paid to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s request, directly to Tenant’s vendors by joint check, in which case such service provider shall acknowledge that Landlord is not responsible for such payment in an instrument reasonably satisfactory to Landlord) in periodic disbursements within forty-five (45) days after Landlord’s receipt of the following documentation: (i) partial waivers of liens that shall cover all work for which disbursement is being requested and all other statements and forms required for compliance with the mechanics’ lien laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, if any, together with all such invoices, contracts, or other supporting data as Landlord may reasonably require; (ii) a request to disburse from Tenant in a form reasonably approved by Landlord; and (iii) such other information or back-up as Landlord may reasonably request. The final disbursement for any of Tenant’s vendors having statutory lien rights shall further require full and final waivers of lien. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Allowance during the continuance of a Default under the Lease.

If Landlord shall fail to pay within the period specified above any portion of the Allowance to which Tenant is entitled and such failure shall continue for ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof, Tenant may deduct the portion of the Allowance due but not paid, with interest at the Lease Interest Rate from the date due, from the Base Rent next payable hereunder until Tenant has received full credit or otherwise has been fully reimbursed for the amount due to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord disputes Tenant’s right to abate Base Rent, or the amount of the abatement, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section III of this Exhibit WORK LETTER prior to any abatement of disputed amounts by Tenant. In no event may Tenant may use the Allowance for the purchase of any Tenant’s Property. Any portion of the Allowance above the TI Minimum that has not been requisitioned by Tenant or applied towards the costs to construct the Tenant Improvements or the Roof Deck by Landlord prior to the first anniversary of the Commencement Date shall be applied by Landlord as a credit against Base Rent or paid to Tenant, as Landlord may elect provided such right is exercised not later than the second anniversary of the Commencement Date.

(C). Subject to the provisions of this subparagraph (C), the parties acknowledge that Tenant may, at Tenant’s sole risk and expense, enter the Premises on a schedule mutually agreeable to the parties for the purposes of the installation of wiring and cabling and telecommunications, information, and data technology equipment and associated equipment and infrastructure and workstations, furniture and/or furniture systems (the “FF&E Work”). The parties shall cooperate with each other in the performance and scheduling of Landlord’s Work and the FF&E Work, and keep each other apprised of their respective work so as to facilitate the scheduling, coordination, and orderly progress of Landlord’s Work and the FF&E Work. In no event shall any FF&E Work be performed except pursuant to a mutually agreeable schedule that does not interfere with or delay the Landlord’s Work, or increase the cost of Landlord’s Work. During any period prior to the Commencement Date that Tenant is exercising such rights, Tenant shall comply with and perform, and shall cause its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and laborers to comply with and perform, all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease except the obligations to pay Base Rent, Tax Payments, or Operating Costs Payments and additional charges and other charges and other obligations the performance of which would be clearly incompatible with the operations described above.

 

11


Neither Tenant nor any Tenant contractor, employee or agent shall materially interfere in any way with construction of, nor damage, the Landlord’s Work and shall do all things reasonably requested by Landlord to facilitate the construction of the Landlord’s Work pursuant to Landlord’s construction schedule. Neither Tenant nor any Tenant contractor shall cause any labor disharmony, and Tenant shall be responsible for all costs required to produce labor harmony in connection with an entry under this Section. In all events, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in the manner provided in Section 10.1 of the Lease against any claim, loss or cost arising out of any material interference with, or damage to, the Landlord’s Work or any other work in the Building, or any delay thereto, or any increase in the cost thereof on account in whole or in part of any act, omission, neglect or default by Tenant or any Tenant contractor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that the commencement or performance of Landlord’s Work is delayed on account in whole or in part by any act or omission (where a duty to act existed) in violation of the Lease, or neglect or default by Tenant, then such delay shall constitute a Tenant Delay as provided in Section I.B of this Exhibit WORK LETTER. No Tenant Delay shall be deemed to occur solely on account of the timing of any entry by Tenant or any Tenant contractor under this subsection (C) provided that such entry is performed in accordance with the reasonable scheduling requirements agreed to with Landlord. Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s contractor shall ever be required or obligated to alter the method, time or manner for performing Landlord’s Work or work elsewhere in the Building, on account of Tenant’s entry under this subsection (C).

Any requirements of any such Tenant contractor, employee or agent for services from Landlord or Landlord’s contractor, such as hoisting, electrical or mechanical needs, shall be paid for by Tenant and arranged between such Tenant contractor and Landlord or Landlord’s contractor. Should the work of any Tenant contractor depend on the installed field conditions of any item of Landlord’s Work, such Tenant contractor shall ascertain such field conditions after installation of such item of Landlord’s Work. Neither Landlord nor Landlord’s contractor shall ever be required or obliged to alter the method, time or manner for performing Landlord’s Work or work elsewhere in the Building, on account of the work of any such Tenant contractor. Each party shall use reasonable efforts to cause its contractors to conduct operations at the Property during the construction of Landlord’s Work and the FF&E Work to avoid any interference with, damage to, or delay of work being undertaken by the other party. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord as reasonably required to obtain a temporary and permanent certificate of occupancy for the Premises (at no cost to Tenant, other than the cost to complete the FF&E Work), including by staging the FF&E Work in a manner to facilitate obtaining such certificates of occupancy and diligently prosecuting the same to completion as soon as reasonably practicable, provided that the provisions of this sentence shall not obligate Tenant to employ overtime labor or to incur extraordinary expenses.

(D) Landlord shall cause Contractor (or another general contractor reasonably approved by Tenant) to construct the Tenant Improvements in a good and workerlike manner in compliance in all material respects with the Construction Documents, free of liens (provided Tenant pays all amounts due hereunder), asbestos, asbestos-containing materials, and any other toxic or hazardous substances or materials other than materials customarily found in construction materials in the construction of similar projects in the downtown Boston area and other than as disclosed on Exhibit EXISTING CONDITIONS and otherwise in compliance with applicable legal requirements (it being agreed that the foregoing shall not be deemed to impose

 

12


responsibility on Landlord or its contractor for correcting elements of the Tenant Improvements which are not designed in compliance with applicable legal requirements, and that responsibility for the same remains with Tenant and its architects and engineers as provided herein). Landlord is authorized to proceed with the Tenant Improvements shown on the final, approved Construction Documents on the date that is five (5) days after Landlord delivers the Base Price to Tenant, as set forth above, unless and to the extent that Tenant withdraws the Construction Documents in writing for the purposes of Tenant’s value engineering (Tenant acknowledging that any such withdrawal shall result in a Tenant Delay). With respect to Tenant Improvements Change Orders submitted after Landlord is initially authorized (or deemed authorized) to proceed with Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall be deemed authorized to proceed with such Tenant Improvements Change Order upon its submission by Tenant, provided, however, that prior to submission of any such Tenant Improvements Change Order, Landlord and the Contractor will work cooperatively with Tenant to obtain pricing therefor.

Landlord has no obligation to approve any Tenant Improvements Change Order or any Tenant Improvements not shown on the Construction Documents if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, such Tenant Improvements (i) would delay completion of the Tenant Improvements beyond the Target Commencement Date unless Tenant agrees in writing that such work constitutes a Tenant Delay and Landlord and Tenant agree in writing to the amount of such Tenant Delay, (ii) would delay completion of any other Landlord’s Work unless Tenant agrees in writing that such work constitutes a Tenant Delay and Landlord and Tenant agree in writing to the amount of such Tenant Delay as an Agreed Tenant Delay; (iii) would materially increase the cost of operating the Building or performing any other work in the Building, unless in each case Tenant agrees to pay such costs, (iv) are incompatible with the design, quality, equipment or systems of the Building, (v) would require unusual expense to readapt the Premises to general office use unless Tenant agrees to pay such costs, or (vi) otherwise do not comply with the provisions of this Lease. By its execution of the Lease, and its submission of any Construction Documents or other plans and Tenant Improvements Change Orders, Tenant will be deemed to have approved of, and shall be legally responsible for, such plans, Construction Documents or Tenant Improvements Change Orders, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, if any Tenant Improvements Change Order reasonably specifies a long lead item, such as custom cabinetry or a piece of specialized equipment, that Landlord reasonably determines could not be delivered and installed in a manner consistent with the completion of the Tenant Improvements by the Target Commencement Date, then Landlord shall so notify Tenant within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such Tenant Improvements Change Order, in which case Landlord and Tenant may agree in writing that such long lead item may be completed by Landlord following the date that all of the Landlord’s Work is Substantially Complete (if permitted pursuant to applicable Requirements, including without limitation for any certificate of occupancy to be issued) without constituting a Landlord or Tenant Delay hereunder.

(E) If Tenant shall be delayed in preparing the Construction Documents or any phase thereof required hereunder as a result of the occurrence of any of the following (a “Landlord Delay”):

(i) Any request by Landlord that Tenant delay the completion of any plans;

 

13


(ii) Any delay resulting from failure of Landlord to respond to any submission to Landlord from Tenant on or before the deadline for such response as set forth in the third paragraph of Section II(A) of this Exhibit; or

(iii) Any other delay resulting from the acts or omissions (where a duty to act existed) of Landlord, its agents, employees or independent contractors (provided that Tenant promptly notifies Landlord of any factor that it believes is resulting or will result in a Landlord Delay and takes reasonable steps to limit the effect of such factor).

then the date by which the applicable phase of the Construction Documents is due shall be extended by one day for each day of Landlord Delay. Tenant shall notify Landlord of any alleged Landlord Delay pursuant to clause (ii), above, in writing, within five (5) Business Days following the occurrence thereof.

Landlord and Tenant have agreed to determine the length of any Landlord Delay as follows: Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of the claimed length of such Landlord Delay and Landlord may elect by written notice delivered to Tenant within ten (10) Business Days thereafter to dispute the claimed Landlord Delay in accordance with Section III, below. Unless such estimate is disputed by written notice delivered within such ten (10) Business Day period, the claimed Landlord Delay shall be deemed to be a period no less than that set forth in Tenant’s notice.

III. Arbitration. All disputes between the parties regarding Tenant Delays or Landlord Delays and other matters expressly referencing this Section III of the Exhibit WORK LETTER shall be resolved in accordance with this Section III. Any arbitration decision under this Section III shall be enforceable in accordance with Requirements in any court of proper jurisdiction.

(a) All disputes between the parties to be resolved by express reference to this Section III shall first be subject to a 15 day period in which the parties (unless otherwise agreed in writing) shall attempt to resolve the dispute through one or more meetings between Michael Donahue on behalf of Tenant and Dave Greaney on behalf of Landlord (each party having the right to designate a replacement senior officer or principal for the purposes of this sentence by written notice to the other).

(b) Following the expiration of the 15-day period described in subparagraph (a), above, any arbitration conducted pursuant to this Section III shall be conducted in as expeditious manner as is possible to avoid delays in the construction of Landlord’s Work. Landlord and Tenant shall sign all documents and do all other things reasonably necessary to submit any such matter to arbitration and waive any and all rights they or either of them may at any time have to revoke their agreement hereunder to submit to arbitration and to abide by the decision rendered thereunder, which shall be binding and conclusive on the parties and shall constitute an “award” by the arbitrator within the meaning of the AAA Rules and applicable law.

 

14


(c) Within ten (10) days after either party requests arbitration by notice to the other, Landlord and Tenant shall seek to agree to a single arbitrator who is an independent third party real estate professional with at least twenty (20) years of experience in construction disputes involving first-class, office developments that has not worked for either party or its affiliates for the prior five (5) years (a “Qualified Arbitrator”) and, if they are unable to agree, then a Qualified Arbitrator shall, upon request by either party, be appointed by the Boston office of the AAA or successor organization.

(d) Landlord and Tenant may each appear and be represented by counsel before such arbitrator and submit such data and memoranda in support of their respective positions in the matter in dispute as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate under the circumstances. The arbitrator shall decide the dispute by written decision. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (or any successor organization) on an expedited basis and shall be concluded, with a decision issued, no later than ten (10) days after the date that such dispute is submitted for arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties shall comply with any orders of the arbitrator establishing deadlines for any such proceeding. The fee of the arbitrator shall be paid equally by the parties. Each party shall pay all other costs incurred by it in connection with the arbitration. The arbitrator may award damage costs and/or reasonable attorneys’ fees and interest where applicable under, and subject to the terms of, this Lease. If (i) the arbitrator shall award judgment solely to either party (the “Prevailing Party”), and (ii) the other party (the “Non-Prevailing Party”) shall not comply with the terms of such judgment, and (iii) the Prevailing Party shall commence an action to enforce the judgment, and (iv) the Prevailing Party is successful in such action, then the Non-Prevailing Party shall pay the Prevailing Party’s out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with the enforcement of the arbitrators’ judgment.

IV. Authorized Representatives. Michael Donahue, Tenant’s Authorized Representative, shall have full power and authority to act on behalf of Tenant on any matters relating to the Landlord’s Work. Tenant may name a replacement Authorized Representative from time to time by written notice to Landlord making reference to this Exhibit WORK LETTER. John Barszewski, Landlord’s Authorized Representative, shall have full power and authority to act on behalf of Landlord on any matters relating to the Landlord’s Work. Landlord may name a replacement Authorized Representative from time to time by written notice to Tenant making reference to this Exhibit WORK LETTER.

V. General. This Exhibit WORK LETTER shall not be deemed applicable to any additional space added to the Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the Premises or any additions to the Premises in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Lease Term, whether by any options under the Lease or otherwise, unless and to the extent expressly provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the Lease that such additional space is to be delivered to Tenant in the same condition the initial Premises is to be delivered. All capitalized terms used in this Exhibit WORK LETTER but not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease.

This agreement (“Lease Subordination, Non-Disturbance of Possession and Attornment Agreement” or “Agreement”) is made as of the      day of             , 201    , among WEBSTER BANK, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative agent on behalf of itself and certain other lenders, having a place of business at 100 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (“Lender”),             , a Massachusetts limited liability company having a place of business at 100 Franklin Street, 2nd Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (“Landlord” or “Borrower”), and [            ], a [            ] having a place of business at [            ] (“Tenant”).

Introductory Provisions

A. Lender is relying on this Agreement as an inducement to Lender in making and maintaining a loan (“Loan”) secured by, among other things, a Construction Mortgage and Security Agreement dated as of              (“Mortgage”) given by Borrower covering property commonly known as and numbered             , Boston, Massachusetts (“Property”), which Mortgage, including a legal description of the Property, is recorded at the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds in Book             , Page             . Lender is also the “Assignee” under a Collateral Assignment of Leases and Rents (“Assignment”) dated as of                     , from Borrower with respect to the Property, which Assignment is recorded at the Suffolk County Registry of Deeds in Book             , Page     .

B. Tenant is the tenant under that certain lease (“Lease”) dated             , 20    , made with [Landlord] [Landlord’s predecessor in title], covering certain premises (“Premises”) at the Property as more particularly described in the Lease [and in the “Notice of Lease” dated                     , 20    which has been recorded at             in Book             , Page     ].

C. Lender requires, as a condition to the making and maintaining of the Loan, that the Mortgage be and remain superior to the Lease and that its rights under the Assignment be recognized.

D. Tenant requires as a condition to the Lease being subordinate to the Mortgage that its rights under the Lease be recognized.

E. Lender, Landlord, and Tenant desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Mortgage and the Lease.

 

-1-


NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and with the understanding by Tenant that Lender shall rely hereon in making and maintaining the Loan, Lender, Landlord, and Tenant agree as follows:

1. Subordination. The Lease is subordinate to the Mortgage and any amendment, renewal, substitution, extension or replacement thereof and each advance made thereunder as though the Mortgage, and each such amendment, renewal, substitution, extension or replacement were executed and recorded, and the advance made, before the execution of the Lease.

2. Non-Disturbance. So long as Tenant is not in default (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed, (i) Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises shall not be disturbed by Lender in the exercise of any of its rights under the Mortgage during the term of the Lease, or any extension or renewal thereof made in accordance with the terms of the Lease, and (ii) Lender will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding because of any default under the Mortgage.

3. Attornment and Certificates. In the event Lender succeeds to the interest of Borrower as Landlord under the Lease, or if the Property or the Premises are sold pursuant to the power of sale under the Mortgage, Tenant shall attorn to Lender, or a purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, and shall recognize Lender, or such purchaser, thereafter as the Landlord under the Lease. Such attornment shall be effective and self- operative without the execution of any further instrument. Tenant agrees, however, to execute and deliver at any time and from time to time, upon the request of any holder(s) of any of the indebtedness or other obligations secured by the Mortgage, or upon request of any such purchaser, (a) any instrument or certificate which, in the reasonable judgment of such holder(s), or such purchaser, may be necessary or appropriate in any such fore- closure proceeding or otherwise to evidence such attornment, and (b) an instrument or certificate regarding the status of the Lease, consisting of statements, if true (and if not true, specifying in what respect), (i) that the Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) the date through which rentals have been paid, (iii) the duration and date of the commencement of the term of the Lease, (iv) the nature of any amendments or modifications to the Lease, (v) that no default, or state of facts, which with the passage of time, or notice, or both, would constitute a default, exists on the part of either party to the Lease, and (vi) the dates on which payments of additional rent, if any, are due under the Lease.

4. Limitations. If Lender exercises any of its rights under the Assignment or the Mortgage, or if Lender shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under the Lease in any manner, or if any purchaser acquires the Property, or the Premises, upon or after any foreclosure of the Mortgage, or any deed in lieu thereof, Lender or such purchaser, as the case may be, shall have the same remedies by entry, action or otherwise in the event of

 

-2-


any default by Tenant (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be paid, performed or observed that the Landlord had or would have had if Lender or such purchaser had not succeeded to the interest of the present Landlord. From and after any such attornment, Lender or such purchaser shall be bound to Tenant under all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, and Tenant shall, from and after such attornment to Lender, or to such purchaser, have the same remedies against Lender, or such purchaser, for the breach of an agreement contained in the Lease that Tenant might have had under the Lease against Landlord, if Lender or such purchaser had not succeeded to the interest of Landlord; provided, however, that Lender or such purchaser shall only be bound during the period of its ownership, and that in the case of the exercise by Lender of its rights under the Mortgage, or the Assignment, or any combination thereof, or a foreclosure, or deed in lieu of foreclosure, all Tenant claims shall be satisfied only out of the interest, if any, of Lender, or such purchaser, in the Property, and Lender and such purchaser shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including the Landlord); or (b) liable for or incur any obligation with respect to the construction of the Property or any improvements of the Premises or the Property; or (c) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including the Landlord); or (d) bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the then current rental period to any prior landlord (including the Landlord); or (e) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease, or any consent to any assignment or sublet, made without Lender’s prior written consent; or (f) bound by or responsible for any security deposit not actually received by Lender; or (g) liable for or incur any obligation with respect to any breach of warranties or representations of any nature under the Lease or otherwise including without limitation any warranties or representations respecting use, compliance with zoning, landlord’s title, landlord’s authority, habitability and/or fitness for any purpose, or possession; or (h) liable for consequential damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender or any successor succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, or title to the Property prior to the completion of the Landlord’s Work, then Lender or such successor (as applicable) shall have thirty (30) days following notice to Tenant by Lender or such successor of such acquisition to send written notice to Tenant stating whether or not Lender or such successor intends to be bound to perform work remaining to be done as part of the Landlord’s Work under the Lease and agrees to advance the Allowance. If in such notice Lender or such successor states that Lender or such successor intends to be so bound, then such provisions of the Lease shall be binding on the Lender or such successor (as applicable). If Lender or such successor (as applicable) states that it does not intend to be so bound or fails to timely provide notice to Tenant within such thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have the right, by giving a notice (the “Election Notice”) to the Lender or such successor (as applicable) within sixty (60) days following notice of such acquisition, to either (X) terminate the Lease, or (Y) continue the Lease, and complete the Landlord’s Work itself at its expense and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Lease and (to the extent the Allowance is not disbursed by the Lender or such successor (as applicable)) reduce the Rent by the amount of the unadvanced Allowance; provided, however, that the Lender or such successor (as applicable)can

 

-3-


render any Election Notice null and void and of no force and effect if, within thirty (30) days after the giving of such Election Notice, the Lender or such successor (as applicable) agrees to be bound by the applicable provisions of the Lease. Tenant’s failure to give Election Notice in the time period required above shall be deemed to be an election pursuant to the clause (Y) of the immediately preceding sentence.

5. Rights Reserved. Nothing herein contained is intended, nor shall it be construed, to abridge or adversely affect any right or remedy of: (a) the Landlord under the Lease, or any subsequent Landlord, against the Tenant in the event of any default by Tenant (beyond any period expressed in the Lease within which Tenant may cure such default) in the payment of rent or in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed; or (b) the Tenant under the Lease against the original or any prior Landlord in the event of any default by the original Landlord to pursue claims against such original or prior Landlord whether or not such claim is barred against Lender or a subsequent purchaser.

6. Notice and Right to Cure. Tenant agrees to provide Lender with a copy of each notice of default given to Landlord under the Lease, at the same time as such notice of default is given to the Landlord, and that in the event of any default by the Landlord under the Lease, Tenant will take no action to terminate the Lease (a) if the default is not curable by Lender (so long as the default does not interfere with Tenant’s use and occupation of the Premises), or (b) if the default is curable by Lender, unless the default remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof shall have been given, postage prepaid, to Landlord at Landlord’s address, and to Lender at the address provided in Section 7 below; provided, however, that if any such default is such that it reasonably cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, such period shall be extended for such additional period of time as shall be reasonably necessary (including, without limitation, a reasonable period of time to obtain possession of the Property and to foreclose the Mortgage), if Lender gives Tenant written notice within such thirty (30) day period of Lender’s election to undertake the cure of the default and if curative action (including, without limitation, action to obtain possession and foreclose) is instituted within a reasonable period of time and is thereafter diligently pursued. Lender shall have no obligation to cure any default under the Lease.

7. Notices. Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be given or delivered: (i) by United States mail, registered or certified, postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, or (ii) by recognized courier service or recognized overnight delivery service; and in any event addressed to the party for which it is intended at its address set forth below:

or such other address as such party may have previously specified by notice given or delivered in accordance with the foregoing. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given and received on the date delivered or tendered for delivery during normal business hours as herein provided.

8. No Oral Change. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any manner than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto or their respective successors in interest.

9. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and any purchaser or purchasers at foreclosure of the Property or any portion thereof, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

10. Payment of Rent to Lender. Tenant acknowledges that it has notice that the Lease and the rent and all sums due thereunder have been assigned to Lender as part of the security for the Obligations secured by the Mortgage. In the event Lender notifies Tenant of a default under the Loan and demands that Tenant pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Lender, Tenant agrees that it will honor such demand and pay its rent and all other sums due under the Lease to Lender, or Lender’s designated agent, until otherwise notified in writing by Lender. Borrower unconditionally authorizes and directs Tenant to make rental payments directly to Lender following receipt of such notice and further agrees that Tenant may rely upon such notice without any obligation to further inquire as to whether or not any default exists under the Mortgage or the Assignment, and that Borrower shall have no right or claim against Tenant for or by reason of any payments of rent or other charges made by Tenant to Lender following receipt of such notice.

11. No Amendment or Cancellation of Lease. So long as the Mortgage remains undischarged of record, Tenant shall not amend, modify, cancel or terminate the

 

-5-


Lease, or consent to an amendment, modification, cancellation or termination of the Lease, or agree to subordinate the Lease to any other mortgage, without Lender’s prior written consent in each instance.

12. Options. With respect to any options for additional space provided to Tenant under the Lease, Lender agrees to recognize the same if Tenant is entitled thereto under the Lease after the date on which Lender succeeds as Landlord under the Lease by virtue of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure or Lender takes possession of the Premises; provided, however, Lender shall not be responsible for any acts of any prior landlord under the Lease, or the act of any tenant, subtenant or other party which prevents Lender from complying with the provisions hereof and Tenant shall have no right to cancel the Lease or to make any claims against Lender on account thereof.

13. Captions. Captions and headings of sections are not parts of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

15. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

16. Parties Bound. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Tenant, Lender and Borrower and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, reference to successors and assigns of Tenant shall not constitute a consent by Landlord or Borrower to an assignment or sublet by Tenant, but has reference only to those instances in which such consent is not required pursuant to the Lease or for which such consent has been given.
