On or before the end of the day (the “Original Premises Surrender Date”) that is five (5) Business Days after the Relocation Commencement Date, Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Original Premises in its entirety in the condition required under Section 20 of the Existing Lease, with the same effect as if the Original Premises Surrender Date were the Term Expiration Date under the Existing Lease solely in respect of the Original Premises.

This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the First Amendment to Lease (the “First Amendment” by and between 500 Boylston & 222 Berkeley Owner (DE) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and RESTORBIO, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), for space in the Building.

EXHIBIT B

 

Work Letter

 

(Relocation Premises Work to be Performed by Landlord)

 

B.1

Existing Conditions. Subject only to Landlord’s obligation to perform the Relocation Premises Work and to provide the Relocation Allowance as provided below, Tenant has inspected, and is satisfied with, the existing, “as-is” condition of the Relocation Premises, including any existing improvements and Base Building elements now located therein.

B.2

Relocation Premises Work. The work described on Schedule B-2 (the “Relocation Premises Work”) shall be constructed by Landlord in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of this Exhibit B. The “Substantial Completion Date” (for purposes of Paragraph 1 of this First Amendment) shall mean the date on which the Landlord has substantially completed the Relocation Premises Work. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to substantially complete the Relocation Premises Work on or before the Estimated Relocation Commencement Date.

In addition, Landlord shall perform the common corridor and common restroom work described on Schedule B-1 attached hereto using Building standard materials (the “Common Area Work”). The cost of the Common Area Work shall be performed at Landlord’s expense. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to substantially complete the Common Area Work on or before the Estimated Relocation Commencement Date. In the event that substantial completion of the Common Area Work is delayed beyond the Estimated Relocation Commencement Date (other than due to any request or other delay caused by Tenant or any person acting under Tenant) and to the extent such delay actually delays Tenant’s commencement of occupancy of the Relocation Premises for the regular conduct of its business, then the “Relocation Commencement Date” set forth in Paragraph 1 of the First Amendment shall be deemed to be delayed until the day on which Landlord substantially completes the Common Area Work.

If, other than due to a Tenant Delay (as defined below), the Substantial Completion Date does not occur by October 1, 2019, then Tenant shall be entitled to a day-for-day credit of Base Rent until the Substantial Completion Date, such credit to be applied against Base Rent on the Relocation Commencement Date (the “Rent Credit Delay Remedy”). If, other than due to a Tenant Delay (as defined below), (i) the Substantial Completion Date does not occur by December 31, 2019, or (ii) the Common Area Work is not substantially complete by December 31, 2019, then Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord (the “Termination Remedy”; and together with the Rent Credit Delay Remedy, the “Delay Remedies”); provided, however, if Landlord substantially completes the Relocation Premises Work or the Common Area Work, as the case may be, on or before such thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice to terminate this Lease, then Tenant’s termination of this Lease shall be null and void and of no force and effect. The Delay Remedies shall be Tenant’s only remedies arising from any such delay in the Substantial Completion Date.

- 9 -

 


 

For purposes hereof, “substantially complete” and “substantial completion” shall mean that (i) the applicable work by Landlord under this Paragraph B.2 has been completed, other than minor punchlist-type items the completion of which will not unreasonably delay or interfere with Tenant’s occupancy of the Relocation Premises for the regular conduct of business (“Punch-List Items”), (ii) a temporary certificate of occupancy (as evidenced by obtaining all governmental sign-offs on the building permit for the Relocation Premises Work required to permit occupancy of the Relocation Premises) or a permanent certificate of occupancy shall have been obtained for the Relocation Premises (which temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy shall not have any conditions that would restrict or prohibit the use of the Relocation Premises for the Permitted Uses), (iii) the HVAC and other mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and life safety systems serving the Relocation Premises are in good working order (subject to any Punch-List Items), and (iv) the Relocation Premises are free of Landlord’s construction-related materials, debris, and trash (other than due to Tenant’s entry under Paragraph B.3 below). The foregoing provisions shall be self-operative, but in confirmation thereof at Landlord’s request Tenant shall execute and deliver an instrument confirming the date on which substantial completion of such work occurred, provided that any failure by Tenant to execute and return such confirmatory instrument (or to provide written objection identifying the elements of the work that Tenant claims must be completed in order to achieve substantial completion of such work) within five (5) Business Days after its delivery to Tenant shall be deemed Tenant’s acknowledgement that the applicable work was substantially complete on the date set forth in such instrument.

B.3

Landlord’s Construction Documents. Landlord shall prepare the plans and specifications for the Relocation Premises Work with sufficient detail to obtain a building permit for the Relocation Premises Work (the “Construction Documents”). The Construction Documents shall be consistent with the preliminary plans and specifications for the described on Schedule C-2 attached hereto. Tenant shall respond promptly (and in all events within three (3) Business Days) to Landlord’s requests from time to time for Tenant’s approval of all construction-related items (e.g., carpet and paint selections) not specified on Schedule C-2.

B.4

Tenant Work Allowance. Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance for the costs ("Allowance Costs") of constructing the Relocation Premises Work in the Relocation Premises for Tenant's initial occupancy (including, without limitation, the so-called soft costs of architectural and engineering fees and construction management fees set forth below) in an amount not to exceed the Relocation Allowance set forth in Paragraph 1 of the First Amendment (such amount sometimes being referred to herein as the “Allowance”). To the extent that the Relocation Premises Work Costs (as defined below) for the Relocation Premises Work exceed the Allowance (such excess being referred to as the “Excess Tenant Work Costs”), Tenant shall pay for the entire amount of the Excess Tenant Work Costs, and Landlord shall not provide any reimbursement therefor.

Landlord shall solicit bids for the Relocation Premises Work from three (3) reputable general contractors designated by Landlord in consultation with Tenant. Landlord shall promptly supply Tenant with such detailed information about bid requests and negotiations with contractors as Tenant may reasonably request. In connection with the bid request for the general contractor for the Relocation Premises Work, Landlord and Tenant shall mutually agree on the selection of the bidder in accordance with the process described herein. Landlord shall

- 10 -

 


 

recommend to Tenant one of the three (3) general contractors described above selected in Landlord’s good faith determination. Landlord shall notify Tenant of the total fixed-price construction cost of the Relocation Premises Work shown on such Construction Documents (“Base Price”), including the general contractor’s so-called general conditions and fees for the Relocation Premises Work and the Relocation Work Estimate at the time Landlord makes its general contractor recommendation to Tenant. The “Relocation Work Estimate” shall mean the sum of (i) the Base Price, (ii) architectural, mechanical, electrical and structural design fees incurred by Landlord for the Relocation Premises Work, (iii) all costs obtaining permits and inspections required by governmental authorities in connection with the Relocation Premises Work, together with the costs of insuring the Relocation Premises Work, to the extent not already included in the Base Price, (iv) Landlord reasonable estimate of Building services or facilities (such as electricity, HVAC, fire alarm plug ins/outs, freight elevator usage, and cleaning, in each case at Building standard rates charged to tenants generally) expected to be required to implement the Relocation Premises Work, and (v) any construction management fee for the Landlord’s managing agent providing such construction management services  (if the Relocation Work Estimate exceeds the Relocation Allowance as provided below). Tenant shall then have three (3) Business Days to respond in writing either accepting or rejecting Landlord’s recommendation. If Tenant fails to respond in writing within such period, Landlord’s selection shall be deemed approved by Tenant. If Tenant rejects Landlord’s recommendation, then, unless Landlord and Tenant reasonably and mutually determine to select another bidder within three (3) Business Days of Tenant’s written rejection, Landlord will accept the lowest responsible bid, in Landlord’s good faith determination. If the Relocation Work Estimate exceeds $115.00 per square foot of Rentable Floor Area of the Relocation Premises, Tenant shall, within three (3) Business Days after acceptance of Landlord’s recommendation or mutual agreement by Landlord and Tenant as to the general contact, respond to Landlord in writing either (a) approving of such Relocation Work Estimate, or (b) requesting to consult with the architect to value engineer the Construction Documents for the Relocation Premises Work and identify such Relocation Work Change orders as are reasonably requested by Tenant to reduce the Relocation Work Estimate (and if Tenant fails to respond to Landlord on the Relocation Work Estimate within such three (3) Business Day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Relocation Work Estimate). If Tenant elects option (b) in the foregoing sentence, the time period from Tenant’s election to value engineer until Tenant’s approval of the new Relocation Work Estimate shall be deemed to be a Tenant Delay and shall be subject to the provisions of Paragraph B.10 below.

The Base Price shall thereafter be subject to adjustment for any Relocation Work Change Orders (if any) under Paragraph B.5 below. The “Relocation Premises Work Costs” shall include (i) the Base Price (as adjusted for any Relocation Work Change Order), (ii) architectural, mechanical, electrical and structural design fees incurred by Landlord for the Relocation Premises Work, (iii) all costs obtaining permits and inspections required by governmental authorities in connection with the Relocation Premises Work, together with the costs of insuring the Relocation Premises Work, to the extent not already included in the Base Price, (iv) all costs of Building services or facilities (such as electricity, HVAC, fire alarm plug ins/outs, freight elevator usage, and cleaning, in each case at Building standard rates charged to tenants generally) required to implement the Relocation Premises Work, and (v) if the Relocation Premises Work Costs exceeds the Relocation Allowance, a construction management fee for the Landlord’s managing agent providing such construction management services equal to two percent (2%) of the hard and soft costs of the Relocation Premises Work in excess of the Relocation Allowance.

- 11 -

 


 

All costs referred to in this paragraph shall be subject to reimbursement or application by Landlord from the Allowance. In the event that the total amount of the Relocation Premises Work Costs, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, exceeds the Allowance, Landlord may from time to time require Tenant to pay the estimated Excess Tenant Work Costs to Landlord before performing any Relocation Premises Work or otherwise within ten (10) days following receipt of each of Landlord’s invoices therefor. Landlord shall have no obligation to disburse or apply any portion of the Allowance or to perform the Relocation Premises Work at any time when there exists a Default under the Lease (or for so long as an event or condition has occurred which with notice and the passage of time would constitute such a Default), until such time as the Default (or the event or condition) has been cured by Tenant.

B.5

Change Orders. Tenant may, from time to time, by written order to Landlord on a form specified by Landlord (“Relocation Work Change Order” or “Change Order”), request a change in the Relocation Premises Work shown on the Construction Documents. Landlord shall cause the Relocation Premises Work to be performed in accordance with such Relocation Work Change Order after approval thereof by Landlord. The Construction Documents shall not be modified in any material respect except with Landlord’s prior written approval; and all modifications to the Construction Documents, whether material or not, shall be made only by Relocation Work Change Order submitted to and approved by Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible for all additional costs in excess of the Allowance arising from any Relocation Work Change Order as provided in Paragraph B.4 above (including, without limitation, as to each such Relocation Work Change Order, the general contractor mark-ups for general conditions and fees and the applicable construction management fee for Landlord’s managing agent providing such construction management services) and shall pay such Excess Tenant Work Costs to Landlord as provided in Paragraph B.4 above.

B.6

Landlord’s Performance of the Work. Landlord shall be deemed authorized to proceed with the Relocation Premises Work shown on the Construction Documents on the second Business Day after Landlord submits to Tenant the price for the Excess Relocation Premises Work Costs under Paragraph B.4, unless Tenant has then requested that Landlord delay the commencement of the Relocation Premises Work, in which event any such timely request (or any subsequent request) by Tenant to delay the work shall be subject to the provisions on Tenant Delay under Paragraph B.10 below. All Relocation Premises Work shall be performed and constructed by Landlord in accordance with the Construction Documents and in compliance with applicable Laws.

With respect to any Relocation Work Change Order submitted after Landlord is initially authorized (or deemed authorized) to proceed with the Relocation Premises Work, Landlord shall be deemed authorized to proceed with such Change Order immediately upon submission thereof; provided that if Tenant shall specifically request in writing a price estimate for such Change Order, Landlord shall be deemed authorized to proceed with such Change Order on the second Business Day after submission of the price estimate to Tenant if the Change Order has not then been withdrawn.

No Relocation Premises Work shall be performed except in accordance with the Construction Documents, and any Relocation Work Change Orders, approved by Landlord.

- 12 -

 


 

Landlord may require that the Construction Documents or any Relocation Work Change Order be revised if, in  Landlord’s reasonable judgment, (i) the requested work would delay completion of the Relocation Premises Work beyond the Estimated Relocation Commencement Date (unless Tenant acknowledges that such delay shall constitute a Tenant Delay under Paragraph B.10 below), (ii) would increase the cost of operating the Building or performing any other work in the Building (unless Tenant pays such additional costs), (iii) are incompatible with the design, quality, equipment or systems of the Building, (iv) would require unusual expense to readapt the Relocation Premises to general purpose office use, or (v) otherwise do not comply with the provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, Section 8). Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed to be responsible for any such matters to the extent shown on any Construction Documents prepared by Tenant’s architect or requested by Tenant in any Relocation Work Change Orders.

B.7

Tenant’s Early Access. The Relocation Premises Work to be performed by Landlord under this Exhibit C shall not include the purchase, installation, or testing of any personal property, furniture, computers or telecommunications equipment, or any other specialized business fixtures and equipment or wiring therefor (even if the same may be generally depicted for illustration or space planning purposes on the Construction Documents), all of which shall be Tenant’s responsibility under this Paragraph B.7. Tenant shall have the right to access the Relocation Premises prior to the Substantial

Completion Date pursuant to this Paragraph B.7. Prior to the Substantial Completion Date, any entry by Tenant into the Relocation Premises for the purposes of installing Tenant’s wiring, furniture, equipment, and personal property shall be subject in each case to (i) Landlord’s reasonable approval of the schedule and scope of such work (which shall not delay the performance by Landlord of the Relocation Premises Work), (ii) Landlord’s reasonable approval of Tenant’s contractors or vendors for such work in accordance with Section 8 of the Existing Lease, (iii) Landlord’s receipt from Tenant of copies of all necessary permits for the applicable work by Tenant, if any, and (iv) customary insurance certificates from Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors, and other parties acting under Tenant with respect to the applicable work in accordance with Section 8 of the Existing Lease. Tenant shall be responsible for any damage to the Relocation Premises Work or the Relocation Premises caused by Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers and laborers in connection with such entry. Any entry into the Relocation Premises by Tenant (or its contractors, subcontractors, or other parties acting under Tenant) prior to the Substantial Completion Date shall be subject to all of the provisions of the Lease that are applicable to the Relocation Premises during the Term; except for the obligation to pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for Expenses and Taxes.

B.8

Close-Out of Relocation Premises Work. On a date reasonably specified by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall inspect the Relocation Premises Work for the purpose of preparing a list of the Punch-List Items then remaining to be completed (the “Final Punchlist”). Landlord shall submit the Final Punchlist to Tenant, and Tenant shall sign and return the Final Punchlist to Landlord within three (3) Business Days after its receipt (or, if earlier, by the day before Tenant takes occupancy of the Relocation Premises), noting any items that Tenant reasonably believes should be added thereto. Items shall not be added to the Final Punchlist by Tenant after it is delivered to Landlord except with respect to any such noted items pursuant to the immediately foregoing sentence. If the Final Punchlist is

not timely delivered by Tenant, then the Relocation Premises Work shall be deemed final and complete, and Landlord shall have no further obligation to cause any other Relocation Premises Work to be completed, other than the Punch-List Items specified in Landlord’s Final Punchlist and the correction of latent defects as provided below. With respect to items on the Final Punchlist not in dispute, Landlord shall cause such Punch-List Items to be completed in a diligent manner during regular business hours, but in a manner that will seek to minimize interruption of Tenant’s use and occupancy , and if completion of some or all of the Punch-List items will cause an unreasonable interference to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, then Landlord shall complete those Punch-List Items outside of regular business hours. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Punch-List Items within sixty (60) days after the Substantial Completion Date.

Within ninety (90) days after the completion of all items of Relocation Premises Work listed on the Final Punchlist, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a final invoice prepared by Landlord for all Excess Tenant Work Costs. 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) days after Tenant's receipt of the statement, specifying in reasonable detail any disputed items. Upon issuance of such final statement, 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 Work Costs, after the application of the entire amount of the Allowance. Any overpayment by Tenant shall be refunded to Tenant or credited by Landlord against the next payments of Base Rent. Any underpayment by Tenant of the Excess Tenant Work Costs shall be due and payable, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement.

Except for latent defects and uncompleted items of Relocation Premises Work specified in the Final Punchlist, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted all elements of the Relocation Premises Work on the Relocation Commencement Date. In the case of a dispute concerning the completion of items of the Relocation Premises Work specified in the Final Punchlist, such items shall be deemed completed and accepted by Tenant upon the delivery to Tenant of a certificate of Landlord’s architect or contractor that such items have been completed in accordance with the Construction Documents, as amended by any Change Orders approved by Landlord. In the case of latent defects in the Relocation Premises Work appearing after the Relocation Commencement Date, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived any claim for correction or cure thereof on the earlier of (a) the date thirty (30) days after the date such defect was discovered by Tenant if Tenant has not then given notice thereof to Landlord or (b) the date fifty one (51) weeks following the Substantial Completion Date if Tenant has not then given notice of such defect to Landlord. With respect to items as to which Tenant has given adequate and timely notice hereunder, and if the period during which Landlord’s contractor is responsible to remedy or replace faulty materials or workmanship has not expired, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause Landlord’s contractor so to remedy, repair, or replace any incomplete, defective or malfunctioning aspects of the Relocation Premises Work that materially affect Tenant’s occupancy of the Relocation Premises, such action to occur as soon as practicable during normal working hours and so as to avoid any unreasonable interruption of Tenant’s use of the Relocation Premises. If timely and adequate notice has been given and if Landlord has other guarantees, contract rights, or other claims against contractors, materialmen or architects, Landlord shall, with regard to any incomplete, defective or malfunctioning aspects of the

- 14 -

 


 

Relocation Premises Work that adversely affect Tenant’s occupancy of the Relocation Premises, use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such guarantees or contract rights. The foregoing shall constitute Landlord’s entire obligation with respect to all incomplete, defective, or malfunctioning aspects of the Relocation Premises Work. Landlord agrees that its construction contract with its contractor that is performing the Relocation Premises Work shall provide for an industry-standard warranty from such contractor for one (1) year following the Substantial Completion Date.

B.9

Tenant’s Authorized Representative. Tenant hereby designates John McCabe to serve as Tenant’s Authorized Representative, who shall have full power and authority to act on behalf of Tenant on any matters relating to the Relocation Premises Work. Tenant may from time to time change the Tenant’s Authorized Representative or designate additional Tenant’s Authorized Representative(s) by written notice delivered to Landlord in accordance with the Lease.

B.10

Tenant Delays. Tenant acknowledges that that substantial time will be required on its part to provide complete information concerning its requirements to the architect and engineers for the Relocation Premises Work, that Tenant must make timely decisions as and when requested hereunder, that time is of the essence to Landlord in causing the Relocation Commencement Date to occur as early as possible, and that Tenant will cooperate with Landlord to achieve the earliest possible Relocation Commencement Date. Any delay in the commencement or in the performance of the Relocation Premises Work that actually occurs as a result of any of the following is referred to herein as a “Tenant Delay”:  

 

(i)

any failure by Tenant to timely respond to requests for information necessary to complete the preparation of the Construction Documents or to carry out the Relocation Premises Work within three (3) Business Days;

 

(ii)

any failure by Tenant timely to approve a substitute for any materials, equipment, designs, processes, or products shown on the Construction Documents that are not readily available to Landlord’s contractor to acquire in a timely manner and incorporate into the Relocation Premises Work in the ordinary course without delay,

 

(iii)

any Relocation Work Change Order causing a delay in the commencement or performance of the Relocation Premises Work, whether or not such requested Relocation Work Change Order is actually implemented,

 

(iv)

any failure of Tenant to act in a timely manner as required hereunder on any construction-related question or matter,

 

(v)

any request by Tenant that Landlord delay the commencement of, or delay or suspend the performance of, any element of the Relocation Premises Work (it being agreed that Landlord is not required to comply with such request and may decline to comply therewith in its sole discretion), or

- 15 -

 


 

 

(vi)

any delay due to any interference or damage caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party, (including without limitation any equipment vendors) arising from Tenant’s entry into the Relocation Premises under Paragraph B.7 above.

For each day of Tenant Delay, the “Substantial Completion Date” shall be deemed to be one day earlier than the actual date thereof, and the Relocation Commencement Date and Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent and additional charges shall be accelerated accordingly under Paragraph 1 of the First Amendment.
