Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to pay any Allowance (and Tenant shall not be permitted to submit any requisition for any portion of the Allowance) at any time when there exists a default by Tenant under the Lease, beyond applicable notice and cure periods. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, in no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay Landlord a supervisory or oversight fee for the completion of the Tenant Improvements, nor shall Tenant be obligated to provide any secure assurances for the completion of the same.

Early Access to Fifth Amendment Expansion Space.

 

  9.01

Tenant may take possession of or enter the Phase 1 Expansion Space at any time during the period commencing on the Phase 1 Expansion Early Access Date and expiring on the date immediately preceding the Phase 1 Expansion Effective Date, which possession or entry shall be upon and subject to (and thus, in connection with such possession or entry, Tenant shall comply with) all the terms and conditions of the Lease (including, without limitation, all insurance


  and indemnification provisions of the Lease); provided, however, except for the cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g., after hours HVAC service), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for the Phase 1 Expansion Space for any such entry or possession during which Tenant has entered, or is in possession of, the Phase 1 Expansion Space for the sole purpose of performing improvements or installing Tenant’s fixtures, furniture and equipment.

Subject to the terms of this Section 9.02, Tenant may take possession of or enter the Phase 2 Expansion Space at any time during the period commencing on the Phase 2 Expansion Early Access Date and expiring on the date immediately preceding the Phase 2 Expansion Effective Date, which possession or entry shall be upon and subject to (and thus, in connection with such possession or entry, Tenant shall comply with) all the terms and conditions of the Lease (including, without limitation, all insurance and indemnification provisions of the Lease); provided, however, except for the cost of services requested by Tenant (e.g., after hours HVAC service), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent for the Phase 2 Expansion Space for any such entry or possession during which Tenant has entered, or is in possession of, the Phase 2 Expansion Space for the sole purpose of performing improvements or installing Tenant’s fixtures, furniture and equipment.

Options to Extend. Tenant’s right and option to extend the Term of the Lease pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Original Lease, as amended by Section IX of the First Amendment (subject to the immediately following sentence), shall remain and apply to the Original Premises (but not to the Fifth Amendment Expansion Space). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or First Amendment, Landlord and Tenant confirm that the Basic Rent for the Original Premises during the applicable Extended Term shall be equal to 96.3% of the Fair Market Rental Value of the Original Premises for the applicable Extension Term. For the avoidance of doubt, Landlord and Tenant agree and acknowledge that any such extension options shall apply to the Term of the Lease with respect to the Original Premises only and not the Fifth Amendment Expansion Space.

  11.02

As of the Effective Date, the provisions listed below shall be amended as follows:

a.    The threshold for cosmetic alterations set forth in the second sentence of Section 5.2(a) of the Original Lease shall be changed from “$20,000.00 in cost each instance” to “$100,000.00 in cost each instance”.

In any such event, a tenancy at sufferance at the Holdover Rate shall be deemed to have been created. In any event, no provision of this Section shall be deemed to waive Landlord’s right of reentry or any other right under this Lease or at law.”

c.    The following shall be added as Section 10.5 of the Original Lease: “To the fullest extent permitted by law, but subject to the terms of this Lease, including without limitation, the Section 10.4, Landlord will protect, indemnify, and hold Tenant and Tenant’s officers, directors, shareholders, managers, partners, members, trustees, and agents (collectively “Tenant Parties”), harmless from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, actions, forfeitures, losses, causes of action, costs, and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Tenant and/or any Tenant Parties by any third party by reason of Landlord’s or Landlord’s officers, directors, shareholders, managers, partners, members, trustees, and agents (collectively “Landlord Parties”) gross negligence or willful misconduct. In case any action, suit, or proceeding is brought against Tenant and/or Tenant Parties by reason of any such occurrence covered by Landlord’s indemnity under this Section 10.5, Landlord will, at Landlord’s expense, resist and defend such action, suit, or proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel reasonably approved by Tenant (it being agreed that counsel selected by Landlord’s insurer shall be acceptable to Tenant).”

  12.05.

The parties agree to sign a form of subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Form SNDA”) from Landlord’s Existing Holder.

  12.09.

In its ownership, operation and management of the Building and the Property, Landlord shall not violate the terms and provisions of the AULs. Landlord has further disclosed to Tenant, and Tenant herein acknowledges, that Landlord Related Parties have and will continue throughout the Term of the Lease, to conduct certain environmental remediation of the Property at Landlord’s sole cost and expense (and not included in Operating Expenses), including but not limited to the operation of, maintenance and periodic monitoring associated with the existing subsurface depressurization (SSD) system (the “SSD System”) as well as further mitigation and/or remediation measures that may be deemed necessary as based on operation and monitoring of the SSD System in accordance with applicable laws and Environmental Laws (herein the “Landlord’s Environmental Work”). Additionally, Landlord shall, at no cost to Tenant (and excluded from Operating Expenses), remove or remediate to the extent required by applicable laws any Hazardous Materials on the Property in violation of Environmental Laws that existed prior to and/or on the date Tenant occupied any portion of the Premises, except to the extent such Hazardous Materials were caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s officers, employees, contractors, sublessees or agents, in which case Tenant shall be responsible for the removal or remediation of the same as set forth above.

In the event that Landlord fails to maintain the SSD System or such SSD System fails to perform adequately, function and operate as designed and as a direct result therefrom (or as a result of any pre-existing environmental condition at the Property), Tenant is unable to occupy the Premises for the use permitted by the Lease (the “SSD System Interruption”), then for each day following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s written notice of the onset of such SSD System Interruption until such time that the SSD System Interruption has ceased (i.e., the SSD System is in working order) Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Basic Rent and Additional Rent. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant and Tenant’s agents, employees and contractors harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, causes of action, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, forfeitures, losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs), or death of or injury to any person


  or damage to any property whatsoever, to the extent arising from: (i) the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Premises or the Building or on the Property that existed prior to and/or on the date Tenant first occupied any portion of the Premises (except to the extent such Hazardous Materials were caused by Tenant or any of Tenant’s officers, employees, contractors, sublessees or agents), and/or (ii) the use, storage, transportation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by Landlord or any Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors in or into the air, water or soil or in, on, or about the Premises, Building, or the Property.

 

  12.10

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT made as of this      day of             , 2019, by and among HRE-S CENTERPOINT, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), CANADIAN IMPERIAL BANK OF COMMERCE, acting through its New York Branch (“Administrative Agent”), as Administrative Agent for the Lenders (defined below), and                      (“Tenant”).

RECITALS:

A.    Tenant has executed that certain Lease dated as of October 10, 2001, as amended by that certain Letter Agreement dated May 7, 2002, that certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of June 29, 2011, that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated as of January 11, 2013, that certain Third Amendment to Lease dated as of September 26, 2013, that certain Fourth Amendment dated as of March 14, 2014, and that certain Fifth Amendment dated as of May     , 2019 (collectively, with the amendment} thereto, the “Lease”), with West Seyon LLC, predecessor-in-title to Landlord, as lessor, covering the premises described in the Lease consisting of approximately a 93,274 rentable square foot space (the “Premises”) in that certain building located at 41 Seyon Street, Waltham, Massachusetts (the “Property”) and more particularly described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof by this reference; and

B.    Certain lenders (the “Lenders”) have made (or agreed to make) a loan to Landlord secured by a mortgage encumbering the Property and an assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Lease (said mortgage, together with any amendments, renewals, increases, modifications, substitutions or consolidations of either of them, collectively, the “Security Instrument”) in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders; and

C.    Tenant and Administrative Agent desire to confirm their understanding with respect to the Lease and the Security Instrument, and to have Landlord confirm its agreement therewith.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, terms, conditions, and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.    The Lease and any extensions, modifications or renewals thereof, including but not limited to any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or right of first offer to purchase the Property or any portion thereof, if any, is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the Security Instrument and the lien created thereby.

2.    Tenant agrees to deliver to Administrative Agent, in the manner set forth in Paragraph 13 of this Agreement, a copy of any notice of default sent to Landlord by Tenant. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided in the lease, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such default on behalf of Landlord within thirty (30) calendar days after the time provided for Landlord to cure such default in the Lease has expired or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, within a reasonable period provided Administrative Agent is proceeding with due diligence to cure such default. In such event, Tenant shall not terminate the Lease while such remedies are being diligently pursued by Administrative Agent. Further, Tenant shall not terminate the Lease on the basis of any default by Landlord which is incurable by Administrative Agent (such as, for example, the bankruptcy of Landlord or breach of any representation by Landlord), provided Administrative Agent is proceeding with due diligence to commence an action to appoint a receiver or to obtain title to the Property by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise (collectively, “Foreclosure”). Tenant hereby agrees that no action taken by Administrative Agent to enforce any rights under the Security Instrument or related security documents, by reason of any default thereunder (including, without limitation, the appointment of a receiver, any Foreclosure or any demand for rent under any assignment of rents or leases) shall give rise to any right of Tenant to terminate the Lease nor shall such action invalidate or constitute a breach of any of the terms of the Lease.


3.    So long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, Administrative Agent shall not disturb Tenant’s possession and occupancy of the Premises during the term of the Lease.

4.    If Administrative Agent or its nominee or designee, or another purchaser of the Property upon a Foreclosure (any such person or entity, a “Successor Owner”) succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, the Lease will continue in full force and effect. Thereupon, Successor Owner shall recognize the Lease and Tenant’s rights thereunder and Tenant shall make full and complete attornment to Successor Owner as substitute landlord upon the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided in the Lease, including, but not limited to, any option to purchase, right of first refusal to purchase or right of first offer to purchase the Property as may be provided in the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant agrees that any such option, right of first refusal or right of first offer to purchase the Property or any portion thereof, as may be provided in the Lease shall not apply to any Foreclosure, as defined herein and shall not apply to any transfer of the Property by Successor Owner following such Foreclosure. In consideration of the foregoing, Administrative Agent agrees that any such option, right of first refusal or right of first offer shall not be terminated by any Foreclosure or conveyance of the Property by Successor Owner following such Foreclosure; rather, any such option, right of first refusal or right of first offer shall remain as an obligation of any party acquiring the Property following the conveyance of the Property by Successor Owner following such Foreclosure. Furthermore, Tenant expressly confirms to Administrative Agent that any acquisition of title to all or any portion of the Property pursuant to Tenant’s exercise of any option, right of first refusal or right of first offer contained in the Lease shall result in Tenant taking title subject to the lien of the Security Instrument.

5.    Tenant agrees that, if Successor Owner shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, Successor Owner shall not be:

a.    liable for any prior act or omission of Landlord or any prior landlord or consequential damages arising therefrom, provided the foregoing shall not relieve Successor Owner for damages arising out of any continuation of any default of Landlord, or of the obligation to cure such default, after the Successor Owner takes title to the Property, provided that Successor Owner receives written notice of such default and the opportunity to cure as may be set forth in the Lease; or

b.    subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have as to Landlord or any prior landlord unless Administrative Agent has failed to cure any default by Landlord as herein provided; or

c.    required or obligated to credit Tenant with any rent or additional rent for any rental period paid to Landlord more than thirty (30) days in advance; or

d.    except for the amendments and modifications described in the recitals, bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without Lenders’ prior written consent and not otherwise permitted under the Security Instrument, provided, however, that Lenders’ consent shall not be required for nonmaterial amendments or modifications that are made, consistent with the terms of the Lease applicable thereto, in connection with rights expressly granted to Tenant under the Lease; or

e.    liable for refund of all or any part of any security deposit unless such security deposit shall have been actually received by Administrative Agent.

6.    Tenant agrees that, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent in each case, Tenant shall not (a) amend, modify, terminate or cancel the Lease or any extensions or renewals


thereof, except to the extent consistent with the terms of the Lease applicable thereto, or tender a surrender of the Lease (except in each case that, upon a default by Landlord under the Lease, Tenant may exercise its rights under the Lease after giving to Administrative Agent the notice and cure period required by this Agreement, or except in connection with the exercise of any enumerated rights of Tenant in connection with a casualty expressly set forth in the Lease), (b) make a prepayment of any rent or additional rent more than one (1) month in advance of the due date thereof, or (c) subordinate or permit the subordination of the Lease to any lien subordinate to the Security Instrument. Any such purported action without such consent shall be void as against the holder of the Security Instrument.

7.    To the extent that the Lease shall entitle Tenant to notice of the existence of any Security Instrument and the identity of any mortgagee or any ground lessor, this Agreement shall constitute such notice to Tenant with respect to the Security Instrument and Administrative Agent.

8.    Upon and after the occurrence of a default under the Security Instrument, which is not cured after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, Administrative Agent shall be entitled, but not obligated, to require that Tenant pay all rent under the Lease as directed by Administrative Agent, which payment shall, to the extent made, satisfy the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. Landlord agrees to hold Tenant harmless with respect to any such payments made by Tenant to Administrative Agent.

9.    Nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon Administrative Agent any liability for the obligations of Landlord under the Lease unless and until Administrative Agent takes title to the Property. Anything herein or in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that a Successor Owner shall acquire title to the Property or the portion thereof containing the Premises, Successor Owner shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Successor Owner’s then interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such interest, if any, of Successor Owner in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations imposed upon Successor Owner hereunder or under the Lease, and Successor Owner is hereby released or relieved of any other liability hereunder and under the Lease. Tenant agrees that, with respect to any money judgment which may be obtained or secured by Tenant against Successor Owner, Tenant shall look solely to the estate or interest owned by Successor Owner in the Property, and Tenant will not collect or attempt to collect any such judgment out of any other assets of Successor Owner.

10.    Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any other instrument to which Administrative Agent may be party, be or become subject to any liability or obligation to Tenant under the Lease or otherwise.

11.    EACH OF TENANT, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LANDLORD HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

12.    The provisions of the Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The words, “Administrative Agent”, “Landlord” and “Tenant” shall include their respective heirs, legatees, executors, administrators, beneficiaries, successors and assigns.

13.    All notices and all other communication with respect to this Agreement shall be directed as follows: if to Administrative Agent, 200 West Madison Avenue, Suite 2610, Chicago, Illinois 60606, Attention: Real Estate Group, or such other address as Administrative Agent may designate in writing to Tenant; and, if to Tenant, at the address set forth in the Lease or at such other address as tenant may designate in writing to Administrative Agent. All notices shall be in writing and shall be (a) hand-delivered, (b) sent by United States express mail or by private overnight courier, or (c) served by certified mail postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the appropriate address set forth above. Notices served as provided in (a) and (b) shall be deemed to be effective upon delivery or upon refusal thereof. Any


notice served by certified mail shall be deposited in the United States mail with postage thereon fully prepaid and shall be deemed effective on the day of actual delivery as shown by the addressee’s return receipt or the expiration of three business days after the date of mailing, whichever is earlier in time.

14.    This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties and no modifications shall be binding upon any party hereto unless set forth in a document duly executed by or on behalf of such party.

15.    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the earlier to occur of (i) the discharge or termination of the mortgage, and (ii) the expiration or termination of the Lease (provided that any such termination was not in violation of the terms of the Lease or this Agreement).

16.    This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, all of which shall be deemed originals and with the same effect as if all parties had signed the same document. All of such counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one instrument.
