Any rent or other amount which is owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease and which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due shall carry interest at an annual rate (the “Default Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) the highest rate allowed by law from the date which is ten (10) days after the date such Base Rent, Additional Rent or other amount was due until the date of payment, and (ii) eighteen percent (18%) per annum.

3.8. Bookkeeping and Audits. Landlord shall maintain books and records respecting gas, electricity, Operating Expenses and Taxes (as defined in Article 4) and determine the same in accordance with sound accounting and management practices, consistently applied.

Such examination shall take place during normal business hours at the place or places where such records are normally kept. Each Annual Operating Expense Statement rendered to Tenant shall be considered final, unless Tenant has given written notice to Landlord of its intention to audit the books and records of Landlord, which notice must be given within sixty (60) days following Tenant’s receipt of such Annual Operating Expense Statement. In the event that Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve the dispute within seventy-five (75) days following Landlord’s granting Tenant access to such books and records of the Landlord, then such dispute shall be submitted to an independent certified public accounting firm selected by Landlord, subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval of such firm, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The certification by such independent certified public accounting firm as to the proper amount shall be final and conclusive as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall promptly pay the fees and costs of such independent certified public accounting firm unless such certification determines that Tenant was overbilled by more than two (2%) percent. Pending resolution of any such exceptions in the foregoing manner, Tenant shall continue paying, without prejudice to Tenant’s position, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of gas, electricity, Operating Expenses and Taxes paid or incurred during the applicable period in the amounts determined by Landlord, subject to adjustment after any such exceptions are resolved.

On or before the date that is one hundred eighty (180) prior to the Expiration Date for the Term (the “Notice Date”), Tenant shall advise Landlord in writing that Tenant wishes to extend the term of this Lease (hereinafter referred to as “Tenant’s Extension Notice”).

EXECUTION COPY

 

34A.2. Base Rent for Extended Term. The Tenant shall have 21 days after receipt of the FMV Notice in which to send Landlord a written dispute as to the proposed Base Rent specified in the FMV Notice. If Tenant agrees to pay such new Base Rent or if Tenant does not send a written dispute of the new Base Rent specified in the FMV Notice within such 21 day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed to pay such Base Rent (in which case this Lease shall be extended for the Extended Term without the execution of any additional documents, and each and every term and condition of this Lease shall apply during the Extended Term except only that the Base Rent specified in Article 3 of this Lease during the Extended Term shall be that agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, and the phrase “term of this Lease” and “Term” shall be construed to include the Extended Term of this Lease and thus the new Expiration Date shall be the last day of the Extended Term). If Tenant sends Landlord a written dispute as to the Base Rent proposed in the FMV Notice, the Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be determined pursuant to the arbitration system set forth in Article 34A.3 below.

34A.3. Arbitration of Fair Market Rent. In the event that Tenant sends written notice to Landlord disputing the FMV Notice and electing arbitration within 21 days of Tenant’s receipt of the FMV Notice, each of Landlord and Tenant shall at its own cost and expense retain a real estate broker, who must have ten (10) years experience in commercial leasing in the New Haven market, to determine the fair market Base Rent for the Leased Premises as of the commencement date of the Extended Term, which appraisals must be completed and submitted within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the appraisal process by Tenant’s notice electing arbitration. If the two appraisals are within ten percent (10%) of each other, then the average of the two appraisal amounts shall constitute the Base Rent which shall be due during the Extended Term. If the two appraisals are not within ten percent (10%) of each other, the two brokers shall select a third real estate broker (who must also possess the minimum qualifications described above), who within the next thirty (30) days shall select one of the two appraisal amounts which shall then constitute the Base Rent which shall be due during the Extended Term. Landlord and Tenant shall each bear one-half of the cost of said third broker. The appraisal process shall be binding upon both Landlord and Tenant.

34A.4. Failure to Exercise Option. If Tenant shall fail to give Landlord written notice of Tenant’s exercise of the Extended Term on or before the Notice Date, time being of the essence, Tenant shall have no right to extend this Lease for the Extended Term, and this Lease shall terminate as provided in Article 3 of this Lease and Tenant shall vacate the Leased Premises on or before the Expiration Date in accordance with the provisions of this Lease.

ARTICLE 35. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

35.1. Deposit. At or before Tenant’s execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit and maintain with Landlord the sum of $18,000 as a security deposit and payment and performance guaranty (the “Deposit”). Landlord shall retain said sum throughout the Term of this Lease as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. If Tenant defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, including but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent, in any case beyond applicable notice and cure periods, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any part of the Deposit for the payment of any Base Rent and/or Additional Rent, or for the payment of

any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of Tenant’s default, or to compensate Landlord for any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s default. In no event, except as specifically hereinafter provided, shall Landlord be obliged to apply the same to Base Rent and/or Additional Rent or to damages for Tenant’s failure to perform said covenants, conditions and agreements; however, Landlord may so apply the Deposit, at its option. Landlord’s right to bring a special proceeding to recover or otherwise to obtain possession of the Premises before or after Landlord’s declaration of the termination of this Lease for non-payment of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent or for any other reason shall not in any event be affected by reason of the fact that Landlord holds the Deposit.

35.2. Insolvency; Additional Rights of Landlord. In the event any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other creditor-debtor proceedings shall be instituted by or against Tenant, or its successors or assigns, or any guarantor of Tenant hereunder, the Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of any Base Rent and/or Additional Rent for all periods prior to the institution of such proceedings, and the balance, if any, of the Deposit may be retained by Landlord in partial liquidation of Landlord’s damages. The Deposit shall not constitute a trust fund, the Landlord shall not be obligated to keep the Deposit as a separate fund but may commingle the Deposit with its own funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on the Deposit. In the event Landlord applies the Deposit in whole or in part, Tenant shall, within five (5) days after demand by Landlord, deposit sufficient funds to maintain the Deposit in the initial amount. Failure of Tenant to deposit such additional funds shall entitle Landlord to avail itself of the remedies provided in this Lease for non-payment of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent by Tenant.

35.3. Return of Deposit; Successor Landlord. If Tenant fully and faithfully performs every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the Deposit or any balance thereof, less any sums then due Landlord from Tenant under this Lease, shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord’s option to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest thereunder) within thirty (30) days following the last to occur of (i) the passage of the Expiration Date, (ii) Tenant’s vacating the Leased Premises, and (iii) the receipt by Landlord of all Cleaning Certificates and manifests with respect to the cleaning of the Leased Premises and remaining furnishings, fixtures and equipment required pursuant to Article 8.7 hereof. In the event that Cleaning Certificates and manifests which are satisfactory to Landlord both in form and substance are not received by Landlord within thirty (60) days of the Expiration Date, Landlord shall be authorized to utilize the Deposit to engage such appropriate contractors to perform Tenant’s obligations under Article 8.7 hereof. In the event of a sale or other transfer of Building 4, or Landlord’s interest in this Lease, Landlord shall transfer the Deposit to the transferee, and Landlord shall thereupon be released from all liability for the return of the Deposit; Tenant agrees to look solely to the transferee for the return of any such security and it is agreed that the provisions of this sentence shall apply to every sale or transfer of Building 4 or Landlord’s interest in this Lease by Landlord named herein or its successors, and to every transfer or assignment made of any such Deposit. Any transferee shall be deemed to have agreed that the Deposit transferred to such transferee pursuant to this Section shall be held in trust for the purposes of this Article.

ARTICLE 36. INTERPRETATION OF LEASE

36.1. Partial Invalidity. If any of the provisions of this Lease, or its application, is held by any court or in arbitration to be invalid or inapplicable, such decision shall not affect any other term, provision, covenant or condition of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the invalid provision has the effect of reducing the Base Rent and/or Additional Rent to be paid by Tenant, Landlord may cancel this Lease.

36.2. Article and Section Captions. Article and section captions will not be given any effect in determining the meaning of this Lease.

36.3. Governing Law. The laws of the State of Connecticut will govern the interpretation of this Lease.

36.4. Successors and Assigns. This Lease shall be binding upon the parties hereto and upon their heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.

36.5. Continuing Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all of Tenant’s and Landlord’s respective rights, remedies, obligations and liabilities under this Lease shall survive the Expiration Date or the earlier termination of this Lease for any reason.

36.6. Landlord’s Liability. In the event of a ground lease, sale, transfer or conveyance by Landlord of Building 4, the same shall operate to release Landlord from any future liability for any of the obligations, covenants or conditions, express or implied, herein contained, provided the purchaser, ground lessee or transferee assumes Landlord’s obligations and covenants hereunder. In such event, Tenant agrees to look solely to the responsibility of the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease.

Landlord and Landlord’s officers, directors, shareholders and agents shall have absolutely no personal liability with respect to any provision of this Lease or any obligation or liability arising from this Lease or in connection with this Lease in the event of a breach or default by Landlord on any of its obligations. Tenant shall look solely to the equity of the Landlord in the Leased Premises at the time of the breach or default for the satisfaction of any remedies of Tenant, and shall have no recourse against any other assets of Landlord or against any assets of any officer, director, shareholder or agent of Landlord. Such exculpation of liability shall be absolute and without any exception whatsoever.

36.7 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in counterparts and each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one agreement.
