For the purposes hereof, the “Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period” shall be defined as [***] after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant of the condition causing untenantability in the Premises.

15

The Landlord Parties shall not be bound by any compromise or settlement of any such claim, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of such Landlord Parties.

11.2 Tenants Risk

Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises, and to use such other portions of the Office Area and the Project as Tenant is given the right to use by this Lease at Tenant’s own risk.

The business interruption insurance required by this Section 11.4 shall be in minimum amounts typically carried by prudent tenants engaged in similar operations, but in no event shall be in an amount less than the Annual Fixed Rent then in effect during any Lease Year, plus any Additional Rent due and payable for the immediately preceding Lease Year.

To the extent that Landlord is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage covered by the policy, Landlord shall be paid the proceeds of the “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage. To the extent Tenant is obligated to pay for the repair or restoration of the loss or damage, covered by the policy, Tenant shall be paid the proceeds of the “all risk” insurance covering the loss or damage.

Such deductibles and self-insured retentions shall be deemed to be “insurance” for purpose of the waiver in Section [__] below.

11.8 Tenant to Pay Premium Increases

If, because of anything done, causes or permitted to be done, or omitted by Tenant ( or its subtenant or other occupants of the Premises), the rates for liability, fire, boiler, sprinkler, water damage or other insurance on the Project and equipment of Landlord shall be higher than they otherwise would be, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the additional insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord because of the aforesaid reasons.

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.

ARTICLE XII.

FIRE, CASUALTY AND TAKING

12.1 Damage Resulting from Casualty

If all or any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable by fire or other casualty to the Premises (collectively a “Casualty”), Landlord, with reasonable promptness, shall provide Tenant with a good faith written estimate of the amount of time required using standard working methods to substantially complete the repair and restoration of the Premises and any portion of the Office Area necessary to provide access to the Premises. If such estimate indicates that the Premises or any portion of the Office Area necessary to provide access to the Premises cannot be made tenantable within [***] from the date the repair is started, then either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to the other within [***] after receipt of the estimate. Tenant, however, shall not have the right to terminate this Lease if the Casualty was caused by the negligence or intentional misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Parties. In addition, Landlord, by notice to Tenant within [***] after the date of the Casualty, shall have the right to terminate this Lease if: (1) the Premises have been materially damaged and there is less than two (2) years of the Term remaining on the date of the Casualty; (2) any mortgagee requires that the insurance proceeds be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt; or (3) a material uninsured loss to the Office Area occurs.

If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall promptly and diligently, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustment or other matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, restore the Premises and any portion of the Office Area necessary to provide access to the Premises. Such restoration shall be substantially the same condition that existed prior to the Casualty, except for modifications required by Legal Requirements or any other modifications to the common areas deemed desired by the Landlord. Upon notice from Landlord, Tenant shall assign to Landlord (or to any party designated by Landlord) all property insurance proceeds payable to Tenant under Tenant’s insurance with respect to any alterations, improvements or installations performed by or for the benefit of Tenant; provided if the estimated cost to repair such alterations, improvements or installations exceeds the amount of insurance proceeds received by Landlord from Tenant’s insurance carrier, the excess cost of such repairs shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord prior to Landlord’s commencement of repairs. Within [***] of demand, Tenant shall also pay Landlord for any additional excess costs that are determined during the performance of the repairs. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience to Tenant, or injury to Tenant’s business resulting in any way from the Casualty or the repair thereof. Provided that there exists no Event of Default, during any period of time that all or a material portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable as a result of a Casualty, the Rent shall abate for the portion of the Premises that is untenantable and not used by Tenant.

Either party may terminate this Lease if any material part of the Premises is taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Legal Requirements, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”).

The terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other party within [***] after it first receives notice of the Taking. The termination shall be effective on the date the physical taking occurs. If this Lease is not terminated, Fixed Rent shall be appropriately adjusted to account for any reduction in the square footage of the Building or Premises. All compensation awarded for a Taking shall be the property of Landlord. The right to receive compensation or proceeds is expressly waived by Tenant; however, Tenant may file a separate claim for Tenant’s property and Tenant’s reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the amount of Landlord’s award. If only a part of the Premises is subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, with reasonable diligence, will restore the remaining portion of the Premises as nearly as practicable to the condition immediately prior to the Taking.

ARTICLE XIII.

DEFAULT

13.1 Tenants Default

This Lease and the term of this Lease are subject to the limitation that Tenant shall be in default if, at any time during the Lease Term any one or more of the following events (here in called an “Event of Default a “default of Tenant” or similar reference) shall occur and not be cured prior to the expiration of the grace period (if any) herein provided, as follows:

(a) Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of the Annual Fixed Rent, or any Additional Rent or any other monetary amount due under this Lease on or before the date on which the same becomes due and payable and such default shall continue for [***] after written notice from Landlord; provided that no such notice shall be required if Tenant has received a similar notice more than two (2) times within three hundred sixty-five (365) days prior to such violation or failure; or

(b) Tenant shall assign its interest in this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises in violation of the requirements of Article X of this Lease; or

(c) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe some term or condition of this Lease which, because of its character, would immediately jeopardize Landlord’s interest (such as, but without limitation, failure to maintain general liability insurance, or the employment of labor and contractors within the Premises which interfere with Landlord’s work, in violation of Sections 8.2, 9.2 or 9.9 or a failure to observe the requirements of Section 9.2), and such failure continues for [***] after written notice from Landlord to Tenant thereof; or

(d) Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any other requirement, term, covenant or condition of this Lease (not hereinabove in this Section 13.1 specifically referred to) on the part of Tenant to be performed or observed and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant, or if said default shall reasonably require longer than [***] to cure, if Tenant shall fail to commence to cure said default within [***] after notice thereof and/or fail to continuously prosecute the curing of the same to completion with due diligence; or

(e) The estate hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law; or

 

22


(f) Tenant becomes insolvent, makes a transfer in fraud of creditors, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, admits in writing its inability to pay its debts when due or forfeits or loses its right to conduct business; or

(g) Tenant otherwise abandons or vacates the Premises for [***] (other than for purposes of conducting repairs or improvements).

13.2 Termination; Re-Entry

Upon the happening of any one or more of the aforementioned Events of Default (notwithstanding any license of a former breach of covenant or waiver of the benefit hereof or consent in a former instance), Landlord or Landlord’s agents or servants may give to Tenant a notice (hereinafter called “notice of termination”) terminating this Lease on a date specified in such notice of termination (which shall be not be less than [***] after the date of the mailing of such notice of termination), and this Lease and the Lease Term, as well as any and all of the right, title and interest of the Tenant hereunder, shall wholly cease and expire on the date set forth in such notice of termination (Tenant hereby waiving any rights of redemption) in the same manner and with the same force and effects as if such date were the date originally specified herein for the expiration of the Lease Term, and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord.

In addition or as an alternative to the giving of such notice of termination, Landlord or Landlord’s agents or servants may, by any suitable action or proceeding at law, immediately or at any time thereafter re-enter the Premises and remove therefrom Tenant, its agents, employees, servants, licensees, and any subtenants and other persons, and all or any of its property therefrom, and repossess and enjoy the Premises, together with all additions, alterations and improvements thereto; but, in any event under this Section 13.2, Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

The words “re-enter” and “re-entry” as used throughout this Article XIII are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

13.3 Continued Liability; Re-Letting

If this Lease is terminated or if Landlord shall re-enter the Premises as aforesaid, or in the event of the termination of this Lease, or of re- entry, by or under any proceeding or action or any provision of law by reason of an Event of Default hereunder on the part of Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees forthwith to pay and be liable for, on the days originally fixed herein for the payment thereof, amounts equal to the several installments of Annual Fixed Rent, all Additional Rent and other charges reserved as they would, under the terms of this Lease, become due 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 Lease 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 and other charges received by Landlord in reletting, after deduction of all reasonable expenses incurred in reletting the Premises (including, without limitation, remodeling costs, brokerage fees and the like), and in collecting the rent in connection therewith, in the following manner:

 

23


Amounts received by Landlord after reletting shall first be applied against such Landlord’s expenses, until the same are recovered, and until such recovery, Tenant shall pay, as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, the amount which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease (Tenant’s liability prior to any such reletting and such recovery not in any way to be diminished as a result of the fact that such reletting might be for a rent higher than the rent provided for in this Lease); when and if such expenses have been completely recovered, the amounts received from reletting by Landlord as have not previously been applied shall be credited against Tenant’s obligations as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, and only the net amount thereof shall be payable by Tenant. Further, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit of any kind for any period after the date when the term of this Lease is scheduled to expire according to its terms.

Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after Tenant vacates the same in the event this Lease is terminated based upon an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder. The marketing of the Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlord’s control within the Office Area shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord’s obligation to use “reasonable efforts” hereunder in no event shall Landlord be required to (i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenant for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises (including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant), (ii) relet the Premises before leasing other vacant space in the Office Area, or (iii) lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar office space in the Office Area.

13.4 Liquidated Damages

Landlord may elect, as an alternative, to have Tenant pay liquidated damages, which Tenant at any time after the termination of this Lease under Section 13.2, above, and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any damages as hereinbefore provided in this Article XIII, and in lieu of all other such damages beyond the date of such notice. Upon such notice, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, as liquidated damages, in addition to any damages collected or due from Tenant from any period prior to such notice and all expenses which Landlord may have incurred with respect to the collection of such damages, such a sum as at the time of such notice represents the amount of the excess, if any, of (a) the discounted present value, at a discount rate of [***], of the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which would have been payable by Tenant under this Lease for the remainder of the Lease Term if the Lease terms had been fully complied with by Tenant, over and above (b) the discounted present value, at a discount rate of [***], of the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges that would be received by Landlord if the Premises were released at the time of such notice for the remainder of the Lease Term at the fair market value (including provisions regarding periodic increases in Annual Fixed Rent if such are applicable) prevailing at the time of such notice as reasonably determined by Landlord.

Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency 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 proceeds in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.

 

24


In lieu of any other damages or indemnity and in lieu of the recovery by Landlord of all sums payable under all the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.4, Landlord may elect to collect from Tenant, by notice to Tenant, at any time after this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in this Article XIII or otherwise terminated by breach of any obligation of Tenant and before such full recovery, and Tenant shall thereupon pay, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the sum of the Annual Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent payable for the six (6) months ended next prior to the such termination (or such lesser amount if less than six (6) months remains) plus the amount of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent of any kind accrued and unpaid at the time of such election plus any and all expenses which the Landlord may have incurred for and with respect to the collection of any of such rent.

13.5 Waiver of Redemption

Tenant, for itself and any and all persons claiming through or under Tenant, including its creditors, upon the termination of this Lease and the terms of this Lease in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of entry of judgment for the recovery of the possession of the Premises in any action or proceeding, or if Landlord shall enter the Premises by process of law or otherwise, hereby waives any right of redemption provided or permitted by any statute, law or decision now or hereafter in force, and does hereby waive, surrender and give up all rights or privileges which it or they may or might have under and by reason of any present or future law or decision, to redeem the Premises or for a continuation of this Lease for the term of this Lease hereby demised after having been dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law, or otherwise.

13.6 Landlords Default

Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of Landlord’s obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such obligations within [***], or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default, after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation. Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against Landlord from rent thereafter due and payable, but shall look solely to Landlord for satisfaction of such claim.

 

25


ARTICLE XIV.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

14.1 Waiver

Failure on the part of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any action or non-action on the part of the other, no matter how long the same may continue, shall never be a waiver by Tenant or Landlord, respectively, of any of its rights hereunder. Further, no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by Landlord or Tenant shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant to or of any action by the other requiring such consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s or Tenant’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by the other. No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated otherwise than as a payment on account. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant. Further, the acceptance by Landlord of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charges paid by Tenant under this Lease shall not be or be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any default by Tenant, whether or not Landlord knows of such default, except for such defaults as to which such payment relates.

14.2 Cumulative Remedies

Except as expressly provided in this Lease, the specific remedies to which Landlord and Tenant may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress which they may be lawfully entitled to seek in case of any breach or threatened breach 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 seek specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be construed as a confession of judgement by Tenant.

14.3 Quiet Enjoyment

This Lease is subject and subordinate to all matters of record. Landlord agrees that, upon Tenant’s paying the Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other charges herein reserved, and performing and observing the covenants, conditions and agreements hereof upon the part of Tenant to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably hold and enjoy the Premises during the term of this Lease (exclusive of any period during which Tenant is holding over after the expiration or termination of this Lease without the consent of Landlord), without interruption or disturbance from Landlord or persons claiming through or under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease. This covenant shall be construed as running with the land to and against subsequent owners and successors in interest, and is not, nor shall it operate or be construed as, a personal covenant of Landlord, except to the extent of the Landlord’s interest in the Premises, and this covenant and any and all other covenants of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and upon such subsequent owners or successors in interest of Landlord’s interest under this Lease, including ground or master lessees, to the extent of their respective interests, as and when they shall acquire same and then only for so long as they shall retain such interest.

 

26


14.4 Surrender

No act or thing done by Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Premises as an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the delivery of keys to Landlord or its agents in its (or their) capacity as managing agent or for purpose of emergency access. In any event, however, the delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the condition as required by Sections 7.1 and 8.4, first removing all goods and effects of Tenant and completing such other removals as may be permitted or required pursuant to Section 8.4.

14.5 Brokerage

Tenant warrants and represents that Tenants has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the broker, person or firm designated in Section 1.2 hereof; and in the event any claim is made against the Landlord relative to dealings with brokers other than the broker designated in Section 1.2 hereof, Tenant shall defend the claim against Landlord with counsel of Landlord’s selection and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the broker, person or firm designated in Section 1.2 hereof; and in the event any claim is made against Tenant relative to dealings with brokers other than the broker designated in Section 1.2 hereof, Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Tenant’s selection and save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to the broker, person or firm designated in Section 1.2 hereof.

14.6 Recording; Confidentiality

Each of Landlord and Tenant agree not to record this Lease. Tenant agrees that this Lease and the terms contained herein will be treated as strictly confidential and except as required by law (or except with the written consent of Landlord) Tenant shall not disclose the same to any third party except for Tenant’s partners, lenders, accountants and attorneys who have been advised of the confidentiality provisions contained herein and agree to be bound by the same. In the event Tenant is required by law to provide this Lease or disclose any of its terms, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice of such requirement prior to making disclosure so that Landlord may seek an appropriate protective order. If failing the entry of a protective order Tenant is compelled to make disclosure, Tenant shall only disclose portions of the Lease which Tenant is required to disclose and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the information so disclosed.

 

27


14.7 Notices and Time for Action

Whenever, by the terms of this Lease, notice shall or may be given either to Landlord or to Tenant, such notices shall be in writing and shall be sent by hand, registered or certified mail, or overnight or other commercial courier, postage or delivery charges, as the case may be, prepaid as follows:

If intended for Landlord, addressed to Landlord at the address set forth on the first page of this lease to the attention of General Counsel, and copies in like fashion to:

[***]

If intended for Tenant, addressed to Tenant at the address set forth in Article I of this Lease except that from and after the Commencement Date the address of Tenant shall be the Premises (or to such other address or addresses may from time to time hereafter be designated by Tenant by like notice).

Except as otherwise provided herein, all such notices shall be effective when received; provided, that (i) if receipt is refused receipt is refused, notice shall be effective upon the first occasion that such receipt is refused, (ii) if the notice is unable to be delivered due to a change of address of which no notice was given, notice shall be effective upon the date such delivery was attempted (iii) if notice address is a post office box number, notice shall be effective the day after such notice is sent as provided hereinabove or (iv) if the notice is to a foreign address, notice shall be effective [***] after such notice is sent as provided hereinabove. Any notice given by an attorney on behalf of Landlord or by Landlord’s managing agent shall be considered as given by Landlord and shall be fully effective. Time is of the essence with respect to any and all notices and periods for giving of notice or taking any action thereto under this Lease.

14.8 Subordination

This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to all ground and underlying leases and to the liens of all mortgages or deeds of trust which may now or hereafter affect or encumber the Building or the Property and to all renewals, modifications, consolidation, replacements or extensions thereof. This paragraph shall be self operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of any such subordination, Tenant shall at Landlord’s request execute within [***] after receipt, any appropriate certificate or other document that Landlord may reasonably request. Tenant hereby constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant’s attorney in fact to execute any such certificate or other document for or on behalf of Tenant if Tenant does not execute said certificate or document within [***] from receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, any ground lessor, mortgage holder or beneficiary of a deed of trust may, at its option, subordinate the lien of its respective ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust to this Lease by giving Tenant [***] prior written notice of such election, whereupon this Lease shall, irrespective of dates of execution, delivery and recording, be superior to such ground lease, mortgage or deed of trust and no other documentation shall be necessary to effect such change.

 

28


Tenant agrees that in the event that any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any mortgage, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at such foreclosure sale, if requested to do so by such purchaser. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between such purchaser and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease, except that such purchaser shall not be liable in any way to Tenant for any act or omission, neglect or default on Landlord’s part under this Lease or be responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to Tenant’s credit or be subject to any rental credit, offset or abatement theretofore accruing to Tenant. Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenant’s agreement to attorn, as aforesaid. Tenant waives the provisions of any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which may give or purport to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event that any such foreclosure proceeding is prosecuted or completed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a so-called subordination, non-disturbance attornment agreement from the existing and any future mortgage holder of the Project, which agreement shall be on such mortgage holder’s standard form of agreement; provided, however, that if, despite such reasonable efforts, Landlord is unable to obtain such agreement such failure shall not constitute a default by Landlord under this Lease.

14.9 Notice to Mortgagee and Ground Lessor

After receiving notice from any person, firm or other entity 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 leased premises, 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 at the address as specified in said notice (as it may from time to time be changed), and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder or ground lessor within a reasonable time after such notice (including a reasonable time to obtain possession of the premises if the mortgagee or ground lessor elects to do so) shall be treated as performance by Landlord. For the purposes of this Section 14.9, the term “mortgage” includes a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not one on Tenant’s leasehold interest).

14.10 Status Report

Recognizing that Landlord may find it necessary to establish to third parties, such as accountants, banks, potential or existing mortgagees, potential purchasers or the like, the then current status of performance hereunder, Tenant, within [***] after the request of Landlord made from time to time, will furnish to Landlord, or any existing or potential holder of any mortgage encumbering the Premises, the Office Area or the Project, or any potential purchaser of the Premises, the Office Area, or the Project (each an “Interested Party”) a statement of the status of any matter pertaining to this Lease, including, without limitation, acknowledgments that (or the extent to which) each party is in compliance with its obligations under the terms of this Lease.

 

29


14.11 Self-Help

If Tenant shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any act which Tenant is obligated to make or perform under this Lease and (except in the case of emergency) if the same continues unpaid or unperformed beyond applicable grace periods, then Landlord may, but shall not be obligated so to do, after [***] written notice to and demand upon Tenant, or without notice to or demand upon Tenant in the case of any emergency, and without waiving, or releasing Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained, make such payment or perform such act which Tenant is obligated to perform under this Lease in such manner and to such extent as may be reasonably necessary, and, in exercising any such rights, pay any costs and expenses, employ counsel and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonable and necessary costs and expenses of Landlord incidental thereto, together with interest thereon at the annual rate equal to the sum of (a) the Base Rate from time to time announced by Bank of America, N.A, or its successor as its Base Rate and (b) [***] (but in no event greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law), from the date of the making of such expenditures by Landlord, shall be deemed to the Additional Rent and, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provide, shall be payable to the Landlord on demand, and if not promptly paid shall be added to any rent then due or thereafter becoming due under this Lease, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums with interest as aforesaid, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of Annual Fixed Rent.

14.12 Holding Over

Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be treated as a tenancy at sufferance and shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, as far as applicable except that Tenant snail pay as a use and occupancy charge an amount equal to [***] of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent calculated (on a daily basis) at the highest rate payable under the terms of this Lease for the period measured from the day on which Tenant’s hold-over commences and terminating on the day on which Tenant vacates the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall save Landlord, its agents and employees harmless and will exonerate, defend and indemnify Landlord, its agents and employees from and against any and all damages which Landlord may suffer on account of Tenant’s hold-over in the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the term of this Lease. Nothing in the foregoing nor any other term or provision of this Lease shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises or hold over in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. All property which remains in the Office Area or the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be conclusively deemed to be abandoned and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any part thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option against the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any arrears of rent or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease and at law and in equity.

 

30


14.13 Entry by Landlord

Landlord, and its duly authorized representatives, shall, upon reasonable prior notice (except in the case of emergency), have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times (except at any time in the case of emergency) for the purposes of inspecting the condition of same and making such repairs, alterations, additions or improvements thereto as may be necessary if Tenant fails to do so as required hereunder (but the Landlord shall have no duty whatsoever to make any such inspections, repairs, alterations, additions or improvements except as otherwise provided in Article IV and Section 6.1), and to show the Premises to prospective tenants during the twelve (12) months preceding expiration of the term of this Lease as it may have been extended and at any reasonable time during the Lease Term to show the Premises to prospective purchasers and mortgagees. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s operation of its business in the Premises, and any appurtenant rights herein granted (including, without limitation, Tenant’s access to and from the Premises) arising from any entry into the Premises by Landlord.

14.14 Tenants Payments

Each and every payment and expenditure, other than Annual Fixed rent, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder, whether or not the provisions requiring payment of such amounts specifically so state, and shall be payable, unless otherwise provided in this Lease, within [***] after we after written demand by Landlord, and in the case of the non-payment of any such amount, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or by law in the case of non-payment of Annual Fixed Rent. Unless expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the performance and observance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed and observed by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. If Tenant has not objected to any statement of Additional Rent which is rendered by Landlord to Tenant within [***] after Landlord has rendered the same to Tenant, then the same shall be deemed to be a final account between Landlord and Tenant not subject to any further dispute. In the event that Tenant shall seek Landlord’s consent or approval under this Lease, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Rent, for all reasonable costs and expenses, including legal and architectural costs and expenses, incurred by Landlord in processing such request, whether or not such consent or approval shall be given.

14.15 Late Payment

If Landlord shall not have received any payment or installment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent (the “Outstanding Amount”) on or before the date on which the same first becomes payable under this Lease (the “Due Date”), the amount of such payment or installment shall incur a late charge equal to the sum of: (a) [***] of the Outstanding Amount for administration and bookkeeping costs associated with the late payment and (b) interest on the Outstanding Amount from the Due Date through and including the date such payment or installment is received by Landlord, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the rate announced by Bank of America, N.A. (or its successor) from time to time as its prime or base rate (or if such rate is no longer available, a comparable rate reasonably selected by Landlord), plus [***], or (ii) the maximum applicable legal rate, if any. Such interest shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be entitled to a grace period of [***] after written notice from Landlord with respect to the first two late payments in any twelve (12) month period before any such late charge or interest shall be payable.

 

31


14.16 Landlord Liability

Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Project, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability of Landlord under this Lease, it being specifically agreed that neither Landlord, nor any successor holder of Landlord’s interest hereunder, nor any beneficiary of any Trust of which any person from time to time holding Landlord’s interest is Trustee, nor any such Trustee, nor any member, manager, partner, director or stockholder nor Landlord’s managing agent shall ever be personally liable for any such liability. This paragraph shall not limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord’s successors-in-interest, or to take any other action which shall not involve the personal liability of Landlord, or of any successor holder of Landlord’s interest hereunder, or of any beneficiary of any trust of which any person from time to time holding Landlord’s interest is Trustee, or of any such Trustee, or of any manager, member, partner, director or stockholder of Landlord or of Landlord’s managing agent, to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in said Project, as aforesaid, but in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold rent or set-off 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 in the case of a wrongful eviction of Tenant from the demised premises (constructive or actual) by Landlord continuing after notice to Landlord thereof and a reasonable opportunity for Landlord to cure the same. In no even shall Landlord ever be liable for any indirect or consequential damages or loss of profits or the like. In the event that Landlord shall be determined to have wrongfully withheld any consent or approval under this Lease, the sole recourse and remedy of the Tenant in respect thereof shall be to specifically enforce Landlord’s obligation to grant such consent or approval, and in no event shall the Landlord be responsible for any damages of whatever nature in respect of its failure to give such consent or approval nor shall the same otherwise affect the obligations of the Tenant under this Lease or act as any termination of this Lease.

14.17 Miscellaneous

The relationship of the parties hereto is that of landlord and tenant and no partnership, joint venture or participation is hereby created. The obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and except as herein otherwise provided, the terms hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant and, if Tenant shall be an individual, upon and to his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Each term and each provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both a covenant and a condition. The reference contained 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 have later given consent to a particular assignment as required by the provisions of Article X hereof. This Lease shall be governed exclusively by the provisions hereof and by the law of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as the same may from time to time exist. This Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto, Landlord’s managing agent and their respective affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior dealings between them with respect to such subject matter, and there are no verbal or collateral understandings, agreements, representations or warranties not expressly set forth in this Lease. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant, unless reduced to writing and signed by the party or parties to be charged therewith. The paragraph headings throughout this instrument are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this Lease. If any term or provision of this Lease or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law. 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.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord intends to undertake a redevelopment of the Project that may include, among other changes, the replacement of the existing garage with a subsurface parking facility and the replacement of some of the existing retail and/or common areas of the Project with new construction (the “Redevelopment”).

A. In connection with the Redevelopment:

(1) Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice prior to the commencement of the Redevelopment work.

(2) In carrying out any Redevelopment work, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any adverse effect upon, or interference with, the use and enjoyment by Tenant of the Premises.

(3) Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable advance notice of any work in connection with the Redevelopment planned in the immediate vicinity of the Premises or that will affect pedestrian access to the Premises or vehicular access to and from the garage. Subject to force majeure events. Landlord will provide elevator access to the floor on which the Premises are located throughout the Redevelopment.

(4) At all times during the Redevelopment, Tenant shall have a reasonable means of access from a public street to the Premises and between the parking facilities in the Project to the Premises.

(5) At all times during the Redevelopment, Landlord shall provide parking within the Project, or in an offsite facility reasonably proximate to the Project, for not less than Tenant’s parking allocation.

(6) In connection with any installation, replacement or relocation of Project services, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and/or appurtenant fixtures, Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises, and any such installations, replacements and relocations in or about the Premises shall be located so far as practicable above ceiling surfaces, below floor surfaces or within perimeter walls of the Premises.

(7) Throughout the Redevelopment, Landlord shall make available to Tenant a construction representative who is available on a 24-7 basis.

B. Tenant acknowledges that the Project, and its mix of uses, may be altered, expanded, with facilities reduced or otherwise changed from time to time, and that Landlord reserves the right to modify the Project, to change the uses thereof, and to designate areas of the Project as common areas or common facilities, or as areas/facilities for the exclusive use of one or more occupants or one or more uses, all as more particularly set forth below.

C. Landlord reserves for its benefit all rights of ownership and use in all respects outside the Premises, including without limitation, all structures and improvements and plazas and common areas and facilities in the Project. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood that in its sole discretion Landlord shall have the right to change and rearrange the common areas and facilities, to add to, change, relocate and eliminate such areas and facilities, to erect new buildings and structures thereon, to permit the use of or lease all or part thereof for exhibitions and displays, to sell, lease or dedicate all or part thereof to public use, and to configure the public and private roadways in the vicinity of the Project, subject to the issuance of necessary governmental approvals, which reconfigurations shall not be deemed to be eminent domain takings subject to the provisions of Article XII of the Lease. Tenant’s rights under the Lease to use the common areas and facilities of the Project, and, if applicable, other areas outside the Premises, shall be subject to Landlord’s right to change or alter the same as set forth herein.

D. Landlord reserves the right to add to, change or eliminate any services offered to the occupants of the Project from time to time; provided, however, that Landlord shall not change or eliminate any such services required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to the Lease.

 

34


E. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any compensation or reduction of rent by reason of inconvenience or annoyance or for loss of business arising from the exercise of Landlord’s rights hereunder. If Landlord is prevented or delayed from making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any services or performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on Landlord’s part under the Lease, by reason of any cause reasonably beyond Landlord’s control in connection with the exercise of its rights hereunder, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor shall Tenant, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the last paragraph of Section 6.3 of this Lease, be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof. Tenant shall not have the right to terminate the Lease due to the exercise of Landlord’s rights hereunder, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises. Without limitation of the foregoing, in no event shall Tenant seek injunctive or any similar relief, to stop, delay or modify the Redevelopment.

14.20 Rooftop Equitant

Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use a portion of the roof of the Office Area, which portion shall be designated by Landlord, for the installation of a satellite dish (the “Rooftop Equipment”) for use in connection with Tenant’s business in the Premises, provided that (i) the Rooftop Equipment is permitted under the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and any other governmental and quasi-governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Project or Landlord, (ii) the Rooftop Equipment conforms to all such applicable laws, rules and regulations, (iii) Tenant has obtained all permits, licenses, variances, authorizations and approvals that may be required in order to install such Rooftop Equipment and any insurance required by Landlord, (iv) the satellite dish is not more than thirty- six inches (36”) in diameter, (v) the Rooftop Equipment is not more than the weight that Landlord shall reasonably determine is appropriate for the roof (which Landlord shall specify to Tenant upon Tenant’s written request), (vi) Tenant installs any screen or other covering for the Rooftop Equipment that Landlord in its reasonable discretion may require (the size, type and style of which shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval) in order to camouflage or conceal the Rooftop Equipment, (vii) Tenant shall pay Landlord (within [***] after receipt of an invoice therefor) an amount equal to all reasonable cost incurred by Landlord to have an engineer review the plans and specifications for the Rooftop Equipment, the location specifications for the Rooftop Equipment and the plans, specifications and method for attaching the Rooftop Equipment to the Office Area, and (viii) the Rooftop Equipment do not adversely affect any antenna or other equipment that is on the roof of the Office Area. In addition, the style, color, materials, exact location and method of installation of the Rooftop Equipment must be approved by Landlord (in its sole, but good faith, discretion).

35


Prior to or contemporaneously with requesting Landlord’s approval of the installation of the Rooftop Equipment, Tenant shall provide to Landlord: (i) plans and specifications for the Rooftop Equipment (including size, location, height, weight and color) and plans and specifications for the installation thereof (the “Rooftop Equipment Plans”); (ii) copies of all required governmental and quasi-governmental permits, licenses, special zoning variances, and authorizations, all of which Tenant shall obtain at its own cost and expense; and (iii) a policy or certificate of insurance evidencing such insurance coverage as may reasonably be required by Landlord for the installation, operation and maintenance of the Rooftop Equipment and sufficient to cover, among other things, the indemnities from Tenant to Landlord provided in the Lease. Landlord may withhold its approval of the installation of the Rooftop Equipment if the installation, operation or removal of the Rooftop Equipment may (1) damage the structural integrity of the Project or void any warranty or guaranty applicable to the roof or any portion of the Project, (2) materially interfere with any service provided by Landlord to the Project or any tenant or occupant thereof, (3) materially interfere with the use of any part of the Project by any tenant or occupant in the Project, or (4) cause the violation of any zoning ordinance or governmental or quasi-governmental law rule or regulation applicable to the Project. Tenant shall not be entitled to rely on any such approval as being a representation by Landlord that such installation and operation is permitted by or in accordance with any zoning ordinance or other quasi-governmental law, rule or regulation applicable to the Project. Landlord at its sole option and discretion, may require Tenant, at any time prior to the expiration of this Lease, to terminate the operation of the Rooftop Equipment if it is causing physical damage to the structural integrity of the Project or voids any warranty or guaranty applicable to the roof or the Project, material interferes with any other service provided by the Project, materially interferes with any other tenant’s business, or causes the violation of any condition or provision of this Lease or any governmental or quasi-governmental law, rule or regulation applicable to the Project (now or hereafter in effect). If, however, Tenant can correct the damage or prevent said interference caused by the Rooftop Equipment to Landlord’s satisfaction within [***], Tenant may restore its operation so long as Tenant promptly commences to cure such damage and diligently pursues such cure to completion. If the Rooftop Equipment is not completely corrected and restored to operation within [***], Landlord, at its sole option, may require that the Rooftop Equipment be removed at Tenant’s expense. If Landlord or any other tenant in the Project shall require that the Rooftop Equipment be moved to another location on the roof, either to accommodate Landlord or to provide other tenants or occupants in the Project with access to the roof for placement of other antennas, other electrical equipment or other reasonably Landlord-approved uses or installations or to avoid interference with future business or uses of any space in the Project, Landlord shall have the right, at its sole expense, to relocate the Rooftop Equipment to another place on the roof, provided that such new location does not materially adversely affect the operation of such Rooftop Equipment. At the expiration or earlier termination of the Term or upon termination of the operation of the Rooftop Equipment, at Tenant’s sole cost, the Rooftop Equipment and all cabling and other equipment relating thereto shall be removed from the Project and the area where the Rooftop Equipment was located shall be restored to its condition existing prior to such installation, in a manner and with materials

determined by Landlord. Tenant hereby authorizes Landlord to remove and dispose of the Rooftop Equipment and charge Tenant for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith if Tenant has not done so on or before the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any property disposed of or removed by Landlord. Tenant’s obligation to perform and observe this covenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease.

 

36


Tenant covenants and agrees that the installation, operation and removal of the Rooftop Equipment will be at its sole risk. Tenant covenants and agrees absolutely and unconditionally to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against all claims, actions, damages, liability judgments, settlements, costs and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) in connection with the loss of life, personal or bodily injury, damage to property or business or any other loss or injury to the extent arising out of the installation, operation, maintenance or removal of the Rooftop Equipment, including without limitation, any loss or injury resulting from transmissions from the Rooftop Equipment. The provisions of this Section 14.21 are personal to the tenant named herein and cannot be exercised by any assignee (other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) or subtenant or any other person or entity.

  B.

Notice Period. The Notice Period, in respect of the Expansion Premises shall be defined as any time between January 1, 2017 March 1, 2017.

 

  C.

Lease Provisions Applying to Expansion Premises. The leasing to Tenant of the Expansion Premises shall be upon all the same terms and conditions of the Lease except as follows:

If Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises (except with respect to a Permitted Transfer), then Tenant shall give notice thereof to Landlord, which notice shall be accompanied by (a) with respect to an assignment of this Lease, the date Tenant desires the assignment to be effective and (b) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises, (i) the material business terms on which Tenant would sublet such premises, and (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet.

8. Operating Expenses. Commencing as of January 1, 2020 and continuing through the Third Extension Term, Tenant shall pay the Operating Expenses Excess (as hereinafter defined) with respect to all of the Premises demised to Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8:

A. Operating Expenses Defined. “Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises” means the same proportion of the Operating Expenses for the Office Area (as hereinafter defined) as Rentable Floor Area of the Premises bears to the total Rentable Floor Area of the Office Area plus the Rentable Floor Area of the Ground Floor Premises and, if applicable, the Rentable Floor Area of the BSC RFO Premises. “Base Operating Expenses” means Operating Expenses for the Office Area for calendar year 2019 (that is the period beginning January 1, 2019 and ending December 31, 2019). Base Operating Expenses shall not include material market-wide cost increases due to extraordinary circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Landlord particular to and only occurring during the Base Year and generally affecting comparable commercial buildings in the City of Boston, including but not limited to, force majeure events, boycotts, strikes, embargoes or shortages. “Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises” means the same proportion of Base Operating Expenses as the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Premises bears to the total Rentable Floor Area of the Office Area, plus the Rentable Floor Area of the Ground Floor Premises and, if applicable, the Rentable Floor Area of the BSC RFO Premises. As of the Fourth Amendment Execution Date, the Rentable Floor Area of the Office Area is 709,348 square feet and the Rentable Floor Area of the Building is 947,974 square feet. The Office Area and the Retail Area shall not be remeasured during the Term except in the event of changes thereto resulting from casualty and condemnation restoration. “Operating Expenses for the Office Area” means the cost of operation of the Office Area and the Office Area’s share of the cost of operating other areas of the Project (exclusive of the Garage) as more specifically provided below, including those incurred in discharging Landlord’s repair obligations and services to be provided by Landlord under Article VI of the Lease; however there shall be excluded from the Operating Expenses for the Office Area the cost of operation of the Garage and all expenses inuring solely to the benefit of the Retail Areas of the Project. If Landlord constructs the 201 Brookline Building, then Operating Expenses incurred for the exterior areas of the Project shall be equitably allocated based on the Rentable Floor Area of the buildings, provided, however, no expenses that benefit solely the 201 Brookline Building, such as utility charges and roof or building system repairs and maintenance for the 201 Brookline Building shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Office Area. In addition, such costs shall exclude payments of debt service and any other mortgage charges, brokerage commissions, real estate taxes (to the extent paid pursuant to Section 9 hereof), and costs of special services rendered to tenants (including Tenant) for which a separate charge is made, but shall include, without limitation:

(i) compensation, wages and all fringe benefits, workmen’s compensation insurance premiums and payroll taxes paid to, for or with respect to all persons for their services in the operating, maintaining, managing or cleaning of the Office Area or the Project;

 

12


(ii) payments under service contracts with independent contractors for operating, maintaining or cleaning of the Office Area or the Project;

(iii) steam, water, sewer, gas, oil, electricity and telephone charges (excluding all charges for electricity and other utilities supplied to leasable areas of the Building and for which Tenant pays separately under the Lease or this Fourth Amendment);

(iv) cost of maintenance, cleaning and repairs and replacements (other than repairs reimbursed from contractors under guarantees);

(v) cost of snow removal and care of landscaping;

(vi) cost of building and cleaning supplies and equipment;

(vii) premiums for insurance carried with respect to the Office Area or the Project (including, without limitation, liability insurance, insurance against loss in case of fire or casualty and of monthly installments of Annual Fixed Rent and any Additional Rent which may be due under this Lease and other leases of space in the Office Area for not more than twelve (12) months in the case of both Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent and, if there be any first mortgage on the Office Area, including such insurance as may be required by the holder of such first mortgage) provided, however, with respect to insurance coverages required to be carried by a holder of a mortgage such coverages are of the type and amounts customarily required to be carried by lenders of comparable buildings);

(viii) management fees not to exceed [***] of Gross Receivable Rents for the Office Area (“Gross Receive file Rents for the Office Area”) for the purposes hereof being defined as annual fixed rent, Landlord’s Operating Expenses (with the exception of the aforesaid management fee), payments on account of real estate taxes, and tenant electricity reimbursements for the relevant year);

 

13


(ix) the Office Area’s share (as reasonably determined by Landlord) of Operating Expenses related to the operation of the open areas, public areas and amenities, plazas, common areas, facilities and other non-leasable areas of the Project and other mixed use common area maintenance costs incurred by Landlord and allocated to the Office Area and costs of operation (but not installation or fixturing) of the amenities operated by Landlord as of the Fourth Amendment Execution Date for use of tenants of the Office Area either alone or in common with tenants of other buildings in the Project; provided, however, from and after the date that Landlord obtains a building permit for the construction of the 201 Brookline Building, Landlord’s Operating Expenses for the Office Area shall exclude all costs related to the construction of the 201 Brookline Building;

(x) capital expenditures made by Landlord during the Term of the Lease (1) to reduce Operating Expenses if Landlord shall have reasonably determined on the basis of independent, third party engineering estimates that the annual reduction in Operating Expenses shall exceed the annual depreciation therefor or (2) to comply with Legal Requirements which first become applicable to the Building after the Third Extension Term Commencement Date (the capital expenditures described in subsections (1) and (2) being hereinafter referred to as “Permitted Capital Expenditures”) plus, in the case of both (1) and (2), an interest factor, reasonably determined by Landlord, as being the interest rate then charged for long term mortgages by institutional lenders on like properties within the general locality in which the Building is located, and depreciation in the case of both (1) and (2) shall be determined by dividing the original cost of such capital expenditure by the number of years of useful life of the capital item acquired, which useful life shall be determined reasonably by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in effect at the time of acquisition of the capital item; provided, however, if Landlord reasonably concludes on the basis of independent, third party engineering estimates that a particular capital expenditure will effect savings in other Operating Expenses, including, without limitation, energy related costs, and that such projected savings will, on an annual basis (“Projected Annual Savings”), exceed the annual depreciation therefor, then and in such event the amount of depreciation for such capital expenditure shall be increased to an amount equal to [***] of the Projected Annual Savings; and in such circumstance, the increased depreciation (in the amount of [***] of the Projected Annual Savings) shall be made for such period of time as it would take to fully amortize the cost of the item in question, together with interest thereon at the interest rate as aforesaid in equal monthly payments, each in the amount of 1/12th of [***] of the Projected Annual Savings, with such payment to be applied first to interest and the balance to principal; and

(xi) all other reasonable and necessary expenses paid in connection with the operating, cleaning and maintenance of the Office Area or the Project or said common areas and facilities and properly chargeable against income.

B. Gross Up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining the amount of Operating Expenses for the Office Area for any calendar year or portion thereof falling within the Term of the Lease, if less than the total Rentable Floor Area of the Office Area shall have been occupied by tenants at any time during the period in question, then, at Landlord’s election but on a mandatory basis with respect to the calculation of the Base Operating Expenses, those components of Operating Expenses for the Office Area that vary based on occupancy for such period shall be adjusted to equal the amount such components of Operating Expenses for the Office Area would have been for such period had occupancy been [***] throughout such period.

 

14


C. Exclusions from Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding the generality of foregoing, the costs and expenses set forth on Exhibit L attached hereto shall be excluded or deducted, as the case may be, from the calculation of Operating Expenses Allocable to the Office Area. Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, to the extent that Landlord provides or procures services for the Building together with other buildings on the Project or in the same market area owned or otherwise operated by Landlord or any affiliate thereof, then the costs of such services shall be allocated between the Building and such other buildings in a manner reasonably determined by Landlord and considering the rentable square footage of the buildings in the allocation. In no event shall Landlord collect from tenants of the Office Area in excess of [***] of the actual Operating Expenses (plus the permitted amortization payments for Permitted Capital Expenditures set forth in Section 8(A)(x) above) incurred for the applicable calendar year.

D. Tenant’s Escalation Payments. If with respect to any calendar year falling within the Term of the Lease, or fraction of a calendar year falling within the Term of the Lease at the beginning or end thereof, the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises for a full calendar year exceed Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises or for any such fraction of a calendar year exceed the corresponding fraction of Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Operating Expenses Excess”), then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by Tenant of the statement referred to below in this Section 8, the amount of such Operating Expenses Excess. Payments by Tenant on account of the Operating Expenses Excess shall be made monthly at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of Annual Fixed Rent. The amount so to be paid to Landlord shall be an amount from time to time reasonably estimated by Landlord to be sufficient to cover, in the aggregate, a sum equal to the Operating Expenses Excess for each calendar year during the Term of the Lease. Within [***] after the end of the first calendar year or fraction thereof ending December 31 and of each succeeding calendar year during the Term of the Lease or fraction thereof at the end of the Term of the Lease, Landlord shall render Tenant a reconciliation statement in reasonable detail and according to usual accounting practices (the “Operating Expense Statement”), showing for the preceding calendar year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, the Operating Expenses for the Office Area, the Base Operating Expenses, the Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises. Said statement to be rendered to Tenant also shall show for the preceding year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, the amounts already paid by Tenant on account of Operating Expenses Excess and the amount of Operating Expenses Excess remaining due from, or overpaid by, Tenant for the year or other period covered by the statement. If such statement shows a balance remaining due to Landlord, Tenant shall pay same to Landlord on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by Tenant of said statement. Any balance shown as due to Tenant shall be credited against Annual Fixed Rent next due, or refunded to Tenant if the Term of the Lease has then expired and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord.

Landlord’s failure to render or delay in rendering an Operating Expense Statement or annual electricity reconciliation statement pursuant to Section 16 of this Fourth Amendment with respect to any calendar year, shall not prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render the same with respect thereto nor shall the rendering of an Operating Expense Statement or annual electricity reconciliation statement, as applicable, for any calendar year, prejudice Landlord’s right thereafter to render a corrected Operating Expense Statement or annual electricity reconciliation statement, as applicable, for such calendar year, provided, however, that Landlord shall in all events render the Operating Expense Statement or annual electricity reconciliation statement, as applicable, in question or any corrections thereto within [***] after the end of the calendar year covered by the applicable statement.

 

15


E. Tenant’s Audit Right. Tenant shall have the right to examine the correctness of any of the Landlord’s Operating Expense Statement, and/or any annual electricity reconciliation statement (“Electricity Statement”) or any item contained therein as follows:

(1) Any request for examination in respect of any calendar year may be made by notice from Tenant to Landlord no more than [***] after the date (the “Statement Date”) Landlord provides to Tenant the applicable year-end statement required hereunder in respect of such calendar year (and only if Tenant shall have fully paid the amounts billed with respect to the applicable Operating Expenses or electricity charges), provided, however, such 180-day period shall be reinstated if Landlord issues any correction or adjusted Landlord’s Operating Expense Statement or Landlord’s Electricity Statement.

(2) Except as set forth in this Section 8(E), Tenant hereby waives any and all other rights provided, including pursuant to applicable laws to inspect Landlord’s books and records and/or to contest any Landlord’s Operating Expenses Statement and Landlord’s Electricity Statement. If Tenant shall fail to timely exercise Tenant’s right to inspect Landlord’s books and records as provided in this Section 8(E), then such Operating Expense Statement and/or Electricity Statement, as applicable, shall be conclusive and binding on Tenant.

(3) So much of Landlord’s books and records pertaining to the Landlord’s Operating Expenses and/or electricity charges, as applicable, for the matters questioned by Tenant for the calendar year included in the applicable year end statement shall be made available to Tenant within [***] after Landlord timely receives the notice from Tenant to make such examination pursuant to this Section 8(E), either electronically or during normal business hours at the offices where Landlord keeps such books and records or at another location, as determined by Landlord Any examination must be completed and the results communicated to Landlord no later than [***] after the date Landlord makes its books and records available for Tenant’s audit.

(4) Tenant shall have the right to make such examination no more than once in respect of any calendar year in which Landlord has given Tenant an Operating Expense Statement or Electricity Statement, as applicable.

(5) Such examination may be made only by a qualified employee of Tenant or a qualified independent, real estate professional with at least ten (10) years of relevant office leasing audit experience approved by Landlord, which approval in either case shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No examination shall be conducted by an examiner who is to be compensated, in whole or in part, on a contingent fee basis.

 

16


(6) As a condition to performing any such Examination, Tenant and its examiners shall be required to execute and deliver to Landlord an agreement, in form acceptable to Landlord, agreeing to keep confidential any information which it discovers about Landlord or the Building in connection with such examination.

(7) If as a result of such examination it is determined that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of the Landlord’s Operating Expenses or electricity charges allocable to the Premises exceeded the amounts to which Landlord was entitled hereunder, or that Tenant is entitled to a credit with respect to the Landlord’s Operating Expenses, electricity charges, Landlord, at its option, shall either refund to Tenant the amount of such excess, or apply the amount of such credit against Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent, as the case may be, within [***] after the date of such agreement, provided, however, that if the Term of the Lease has expired, such amount shall be promptly refunded to Tenant. Similarly, if it is determined that the amounts paid by Tenant to Landlord on account of Landlord’s Operating Expenses or electricity charges, as applicable, were less than the amounts to which Landlord was entitled hereunder, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent hereunder, the amount of such deficiency within [***] after the date of such agreement.

(8) All costs and expenses of any such examination shall be paid by Tenant, except if as a result of such examination it is determined that the amount of the Operating Expense Excess or electricity charges payable by Tenant was overstated by more than [***], Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the actual, reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in such examination, up to a maximum of [***]. If as a result of such examination it is determined that the amount of the Operating Expense Excess or electricity charges payable by Tenant was overstated by more than [***], Tenant may elect to audit that line item of Operating Expenses which was overcharged for the prior two (2) years.

10. Parking.

A. Parking Privileges. The parties acknowledge that pursuant to Section VII of the Third Amendment, Tenant currently is entitled to utilize two hundred (200) monthly parking privileges in the Garage (the “Existing Parking Allotment”). Effective as of each of the Area A Delivery Date, Area B Delivery Date, Fifth Floor Premises Delivery Date and Ground Floor Premises Delivery Date, Landlord shall provide or cause Garage Tenant to provide Tenant with additional monthly parking privileges in the Garage on an unreserved basis for Tenant’s employees, for a ratio of up to two (2) parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises then delivered to Tenant, such that after the occurrence of all of the foregoing delivery dates, Tenant shall be entitled to a total of three hundred ten (310) monthly parking privileges (the “Initial Maximum Parking Allotment”) during the Term, as it may be extended.

All of Tenant’s parking privileges shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section VII of the Third Amendment, unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Fourth Amendment.

In addition, from time to time during the Term, Tenant may elect to reduce the number of parking privileges received by it by providing not less than [***] prior notice of such reduction to Landlord. After any such election to receive less than the Initial Maximum Parking Allotment (or, if Tenant has previously so elected, the Additional Parking Allotment), Tenant may from time-to-time request additional parking privileges back up to the Initial Maximum Parking Allotment (plus the Additional Parking Allotment if Tenant has so elected); provided, however (i) at no time shall Tenant be entitled to more parking privileges than the Initial Maximum Parking Allotment (plus the Additional Parking Allotment if Tenant has so elected), and (ii) none of Landlord, Garage Tenant or Garage Operator shall have any obligation to provide such additional parking privileges unless the Garage Operator determines in its reasonable good faith discretion that the requested number of parking privileges are then available in the Garage.

The parties acknowledge that as part of the construction of the 201 Brookline Building (as defined in Section 14(A)), portions of the Garage may be temporarily closed and some locations of access to and egress from the Garage will be temporarily closed, provided, however, Landlord shall not fully close the Garage and Tenant shall at all times have access to and use of the number of parking privileges to which Tenant is entitled under this Fourth Amendment during such construction and at least one access and egress location in the Garage shall remain open throughout the construction of the 201 Brookline Building. Without limiting Landlord’s express obligation to at all times provide Tenant with the number of parking privileges to which Tenant is entitled under this Fourth Amendment in the Garage, if at any time Tenant’s employees are denied entry into the Garage for its full parking allotment under this Section 10, then, without limitation of Tenant’s other remedies under the Lease for such closure, Tenant’s monthly parking charges shall be abated (and refunded) for any days that Tenant’s employees are denied entry into the Garage (but only for the number of parkers so denied entry).

B. Parking Charges. Tenant shall continue to pay for the number of parking privileges from time to time subscribed for by Tenant from the Existing Parking Allotment at the rates set forth in Section VII of the Third Amendment through the date immediately preceding the Third Extension Term Commencement Date.

C. Alternative Facilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the Lease, Landlord shall have the right, upon [***] prior written notice to Tenant, to relocate, temporarily or permanently, up to [***] of Tenant’s parking privileges comprising the Initial Maximum Parking Allotment and the Additional Parking Allotment (such that Tenant’s ratio of monthly parking privileges in the Garage shall not be less than [***] (the foregoing, the “Additional Garages”). In no event shall the parking charges payable by Tenant under the Lease for the parking privileges relocated to any of the Additional Garages exceed the lesser of (i) the monthly parking rate in effect under Section 8(B) above for parking privileges in the Garage, or (ii) the prevailing monthly rate in effect for the applicable Additional Garage where the parking privilege is located.

11. Extension Options.

A. On the conditions (which conditions Landlord may waive by written notice to Tenant) that both at the time of the issuance of the Notice (as hereinafter defined) and as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Term (as hereinafter defined), (i) there exists no Event of Default, (ii) the Lease is still in full force and effect, and (iii) Tenant has neither assigned the Lease nor sublet more than [***] of the Premises in the aggregate and all for sublease terms that expire within twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the then current Term (excluding in all cases any Permitted Transfers), Tenant shall have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 11, to extend the Term of the Lease for two (2) periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Extension Term” and collectively, the “Extension Terms”), commencing on January 1, 2030, and expiring on December 31, 2034 (the “Fourth Extension Term”), and commencing on January 1, 2035, and expiring on December 31, 2039 (the “Fifth Extension Term”), respectively, at the Prevailing Market Rent. Notwithstanding any implication to the contrary Landlord has no obligation to make any additional payment to Tenant in respect of any construction allowance or the like or to perform any work to the Premises as a result of the exercise by Tenant of any such option.

 

19


B. Tenant shall have the right to exercise the foregoing extension options for either, at Tenant’s election, the entire Premises then leased or for only the Upper-Level Premises (which Upper-Level Premises shall for purposes of this Section 11B be deemed to include the Second Floor RFO Premises if Tenant has exercised the Second Floor RFO Right). Tenant shall specify in the applicable Extension Notice whether Tenant has elected to extend the Term for all of the Premises or only the Upper-Level Premises; provided, however if Tenant does not do so, then Tenant will be considered to have elected to extend the Term for the entire Premises. If Tenant exercises an extension option for only the Upper-Level Premises, then on the date immediately preceding the first day of the applicable Extension Term, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord possession of the remainder of the Premises then leased to Tenant which does not constitute the Upper-Level Premises (such portion, the “Extension Surrender Space”), free and clear or all occupants, vacant and free of any lien or encumbrance created by Tenant or persons claiming by, through or under Tenant and otherwise in the condition required in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. On the date immediately preceding the first day of the applicable Extension Term (such date, the “Extension Surrender Date”), Tenant’s lease of the Extension Surrender Space shall end and expire, and Tenant’s estate in and possession of the Extension Surrender Space shall terminate and be extinguished as if the Extension Surrender Date were the Third Extended Termination Date with respect thereto. From and after the Extension Surrender Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share and the monthly parking privileges shall be reduced on a pro rata basis to reflect the removal of the Extension Surrender Space from the Premises. If Tenant fails to surrender to Landlord possession of the Extension Surrender Space on the Extension Surrender Date, in the condition required, then Tenant shall be in holdover in the Extension Surrender Space and Landlord shall have the right to exercise any of Landlord’s rights and remedies at law and in equity (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 14.12 of the Lease).

C. If Tenant desires to extend the Fourth Extension Term, then Tenant shall give notice (an “Exercise Notice”) to Landlord, on or before July 1, 2028. If Tenant desires to extend the Fifth Extension Term, then Tenant shall give an Exercise Notice to Landlord, on or before July 1, 2033. Not later than the later of (i) [***] after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Exercise Notice, and (ii) the date which is [***] prior to the expiration date of the then current Term, Landlord shall provide Landlord’s quotation to Tenant of a proposed Annual Fixed Rent for the applicable Extension Term (“Landlord’s Rent Quotation”). If at the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date when Landlord provides such quotation to Tenant (the “Negotiation Period”), Landlord and Tenant have not reached agreement on a determination of an Annual Fixed Rent for such Extension Term and executed a written instrument extending the Term of this Lease pursuant to such agreement, then Tenant shall have the right, for [***] following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, to make a request to Landlord for a broker determination (the “Broker Determination”) of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit K) for such Extension Term, which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth in Exhibit K. If Tenant timely shall have requested the Broker Determination, then the Annual Fixed Rent for such Extension Term shall be the Prevailing Market Rent as determined by the Broker Determination. If Tenant does not timely request the Broker Determination, then the Annual Fixed Rent during the applicable Extension Term shall be equal to Landlord’s Rent Quotation.

D. Upon the giving of the Exercise Notice by Tenant to Landlord exercising Tenant’s applicable option to extend the Term in accordance with the provisions of Section 11(B) above, then this Lease and the Term hereof shall automatically be deemed extended, for the applicable Extension Term, without the necessity for the execution of any additional documents, except that Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into an instrument in writing setting forth the Annual Fixed Rent for the applicable Extension Term as determined in the relevant manner set forth in this Section 11; and in such event all references herein to the Lease Term or the Term of this Lease shall be construed as referring to the Term, as so extended, unless the context clearly otherwise requires, and except that there shall be no further option to extend the Term beyond the second Extension Term. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Tenant have the right to exercise more than one option to extend the Term at a time and, further, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise its right to extend the Term of the Lease for the Fifth Extension Term unless it has duly exercised its right to extend the Term of the Lease for the Fourth Extension Term.

E. If as of the commencement of any Extension Term, Tenant is then subleasing more than [***] of the Ground Floor Premises (except in all cases for Permitted Transfers), then Landlord shall have the right upon notice delivered to Tenant within [***] of Tenant’s delivery of the applicable Extension Notice, to terminate the Term of the Lease only with respect to the Ground Floor Premises, which termination shall be effective as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Term. Upon the giving of such notice, the Term of the Lease with respect to the Ground Floor Premises only shall terminate as of said commencement of the applicable Extension Term, and Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent, monthly parking privileges and other charges due under the Lease shall be apportioned as of said commencement of the applicable Extension Term.

Either party may extend the 201 Brookline Lease Negotiation Period for one additional period of [***] by delivering written notice to the other party of such extension not later than [***] prior to the then-expiration of the 201 Brookline Lease Negotiation Period Tenant shall provide Landlord with Tenant’s comments to the initial draft of 201 Brookline Lease within [***] following the delivery of Tenant’s 201 Brookline Exercise Notice. Thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall respond to a revised draft or comments to a lease draft within [***] after receipt thereof by either submitting lease comments by way of f redraft or delivery of an issues list or participation in a conference call or meeting with both parties to discuss open lease issues prior to the expiration of such [***] period. If Landlord does not respond within such [***] period then for each day that Landlord is late in responding the 201 Brookline Lease Negotiation Period shall be extended by one day. If Tenant does not respond within such [***] period, as applicable, then for each day that Tenant is late in responding the 201 Brookline Lease Negotiation Period shall be shortened by one day.

Time is of the essence with respect to the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant under this Section 14.

G. Tenant’s Partial Surrender Right.

(i) If either (a) Tenant has exercised the 201 Brookline RFO Right or (b) Tenant satisfied the 201 Brookline RFO Conditions but was unable to exercise the 201 Brookline RFO Right as a result of (1) the Landlord not proceeding with construction of the 201 Brookline Building by the date which is two (2) years after the Execution Date of this Fourth Amendment, as evidenced by the issuance of a building permit for the 201 Brookline Building, or (2) Landlord delivering Landlord’s Single Tenant Notice, then, so long as the Lease is in full force and effect, and subject to the Ground Floor/BSC Surrender Conditions (as hereinafter defined), Tenant shall have the right (“Ground Floor/BSC Surrender Right”) to terminate the Term of the Lease with respect to the following portion of the Premises (the “Surrender Space”) (x) if Tenant has exercised its BSC RFO Right pursuant to Section 12 hereof, both the Ground Floor Premises and the BSC RFO Premises, collectively, or (y) if Tenant has not exercised its BSC RFO Right pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the Ground Floor Premises.

29


(ii) The “Ground Floor/BSC Surrender Conditions” are that there then exists no monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default at the time that Tenant delivers Tenant’s Ground Floor/BSC Surrender Notice:

(iii) The “Ground Floor/BSC Surrender Fee” shall be equal to the Unamortized Portion of Landlord’s Surrender Costs, as hereinafter defined. The “Unamortized Portion” shall be defined as the amount of principal which would remain unpaid as of the Ground Floor/BSC Effective Surrender Date with respect to a theoretical loan in an original principal amount equal to Landlord’s Surrender Costs and which is repaid in equal monthly payments of principal and interest on a direct reduction basis over (a) the Third Extended Term with respect to the Ground Floor Premises and (b) the period of time commencing on the BSC RFO Commencement Date and ending on the Third Extended Termination Date with respect to the BSC RFO Premises, each with interest at the rate of [***] per annum. “Landlord’s Surrender Costs” shall mean (i) the Ground Floor Allowance, plus (ii) the allowance provided in connection with the BSC RFO Premises, if applicable, plus (iii) the brokerage commissions paid in connection with Ground Floor Premises and the BSC RFO Premises.

(iv) If Tenant timely exercises the Ground Floor/BSC Surrender Right, then effective as of the Ground Floor/BSC Effective Surrender Date, the Lease solely with respect to the Ground Floor Premises and if applicable, the BSC RFO Premises, and the rights of the Tenant solely with respect thereto shall terminate and expire with the same force and effect as if such Ground Floor/BSC Effective Surrender Date had originally been specified as the Third Extended Termination Date. Prior to the later of (such later date, the “Partial Surrender Date”) (i) the Ground Floor/BSC Effective Surrender Date, and (ii) the date on which Tenant actually surrenders and yields-up the Surrender Space, Tenant shall comply with all of the terms and provisions of the Lease and shall perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to the Surrender Space including, without limitation, the obligation to pay when due all Annual Fixed Rent and other Additional Rent. By not later than the Ground Floor/BSC Effective Surrender Date, Tenant shall surrender and yield-up the Surrender Space in good and broom-clean order, repair and condition, free of all tenants and occupants, and otherwise in the condition in which the Premises are required to be surrendered, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Lease at the expiration of the Term. All property and alterations of any kind, nature or description remaining in the Surrender Space after the Partial Surrender Date shall be and become the property of Landlord and may be disposed of by Landlord, without payment from Landlord and without the necessity to account therefor to Tenant.

 

30


(v) Effective as of the Partial Surrender Date, Landlord shall be released from any and all obligations and liabilities thereafter accruing under the Lease with respect to the Surrender Space. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver, limitation, amendment, or modification of any of the liabilities and obligations of Landlord under the Lease (i) with respect to the Surrender Space, which accrue or arise prior to the Partial Surrender Date, or (ii) with respect to the remaining Premises. Effective as of the Partial Surrender Date, Tenant shall be released from any and all liabilities and obligations thereafter accruing under this Lease with respect to the Surrender Space. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver, limitation, amendment, or modification of any of the liabilities and obligations of Tenant under the Lease (i) with respect to the Surrender Space, which accrue or arise prior to the Partial Surrender Date or (ii) with respect to the remaining Premises.

(vi) Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant fails to yield up and surrender the Surrender Space by the Ground Floor/BSC Effective Surrender Date, then for and with respect each day between the Ground Floor/BSC Effective Surrender Date and the Partial Surrender Date, Tenant shall pay a holdover charge at the rate set forth in the Lease. Nothing herein contained shall constitute a release, waiver, limitation, or restriction of any rights or remedies of Landlord on account of Tenant’s failure to surrender the Surrender Space by the Ground Floor/BSC Effective Surrender Date.

(vii) The Annual Fixed Rent, Tenant’s Proportionate Share and the monthly parking privileges shall be reduced as of the Partial Surrender Date to an amount which shall reflect the deletion of the Surrender Space from the Premises, and Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment of the Lease to reflect the foregoing within [***] of the date on which the Ground Floor/BSC Surrender Notice shall have been delivered to Landlord, provided that the effectiveness of such amendment shall be conditioned upon Tenant’s payment to Landlord of the Ground Floor/BSC Effective Surrender Fee.

(viii) Time is of the essence of this Section 14(F).

 

31


H. Landlord’s Ground Floor/BSC Termination Right. If Tenant has exercised the 201 Brookline RFO Right then Landlord shall have the right upon notice delivered to Tenant within [***] of Tenant’s delivery of Tenant’s 201 Brookline RFO Exercise Notice, to terminate the Term of the Lease only with respect to the Surrender Space, which termination shall be effective as of the date (the “Effective Recapture Date”), which is the delivery of the 201 Brookline RFO Premises to Tenant or, at Tenant’s election, [***] after the 201 Brookline RFO Commencement Date. Upon the giving of such notice, the Term of the Lease with respect to the Surrender Space only shall terminate as of said Effective Recapture Date, and Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent, monthly parking privileges and other charges due under the Lease shall be apportioned as of said Effective Surrender Date. Thereafter, the Lease solely with respect to the Surrender Space and the rights of the Tenant solely with respect thereto shall terminate and expire with the same force and effect as if such Effective Recapture Date had originally been specified as the Third Extended Termination Date, and the provisions of Section 13(F)(iv)-(vii) shall apply to the Surrender Space.

I. Tenant’s Leasing or Subleasing of Additional Space. If Tenant satisfied the 201 Brookline RFO Conditions but was unable to exercise the 201 Brookline RFO Right as a result of (1) the Landlord not proceeding with construction of the 201 Brookline Building by the date which is two (2) years after the Execution Date of this Fourth Amendment, as evidenced by the issuance of a building permit for the 201 Brookline Building, or (2) Landlord delivering Landlord’s Single Tenant Notice, then, in the event that Tenant elects to take an assignment of an existing lease or to sublease space from another tenant in the Building or the 201 Brookline Building, Landlord agrees that, so long as such proposed sublease space or assigned lease does exceed 25,000 rentable square feet in the aggregate, (i) Landlord will not withhold its consent to any such assignment or sublease on the basis that Tenant is already a tenant in the Building or the 201 Brookline Building and (ii) Landlord will not exercise any termination or recapture right for the applicable space in the Building or the 201 Brookline Building that is proposed to be assigned or subleased to Tenant.

15. Tenant’s Early Termination Option

A. So long as the Lease is in full force and effect, and subject to the Termination Conditions (as hereinafter defined), and which Landlord may waive, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time, but only by notice to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right and option (the “Termination Right”) to terminate the Term of the Lease for the entire Premises effective on any date (the “Effective Termination Date”) which is specified in Tenant’s Termination Notice and is after December 31, 2026, provided that (i) Tenant gives Landlord prior written notice (“Tenant’s Termination Notice”) on or before the date which is [***] prior to the Effective Termination Date and (ii) Tenant pays Landlord the Termination Fee, as hereinafter defined, to Landlord at the time that Tenant gives Tenant’s Termination Notice to Landlord. The “Termination Conditions” are that there then exists no monetary or material non-monetary Event of Default at the time that Tenant delivers Tenant’s Termination Notice or on the Effective Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, if Tenant exercises the 201 Brookline RFO Right and actually is delivered possession of the 201 Brookline RFO Premises, Tenant’s Termination Right shall be null and void and of no further force or effect. An initial sample calculation of the Termination Fee is attached hereto as Exhibit O and based on the earliest possible Effective Termination Date. Not more than twice during the Term and also following Tenant’s exercise of any right of first offer hereunder, Landlord shall provide Tenant with the amount of and reasonably detailed back-up documentation for the Termination Fee within [***] following receipt of a written request from Tenant and provision of a proposed termination date.

 

32


B. The “Termination Fee” shall be equal to the Unamortized Portion of Landlord’s Termination Costs, as hereinafter defined. The “Unamortized Portion” shall be defined as the amount of principal which would remain unpaid as of the Effective Termination Date with respect to a theoretical loan in an original principal amount equal to Landlord’s Termination Costs and which is repaid in equal monthly payments of principal and interest on a direct reduction basis over the Third Extension Term (or such shorter term with respect to any premises leased by Tenant under Sections 12 and/or 13 of this Fourth Amendment) with interest at the rate of [***] per annum. “Landlord’s Termination Costs” shall mean the sum of (I) the Fourth Amendment Allowances, and brokerage commissions paid in connection with this Fourth Amendment, plus (II) if Tenant exercises either or both of the BSC RFO Right and/or the Second Floor RFO Right the Unamortized Portion of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with tenant improvement allowances and brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with BSC RFO Premises and the Second Floor RFO Premises.

C. Provided that all of the Termination Conditions have been fully and completely and timely satisfied, then effective as of the Effective Termination Date, the Lease, and the rights of the Tenant with respect to the Premises, shall terminate and expire with the same force and effect as if such Effective Termination Date had been the Third Extended Termination Date. Prior to the later of (such later date, the “Full Premises Surrender Date”) (i) the Effective Termination Date, and (ii) the date on which Tenant actually surrenders and yields-up the Premises, Tenant shall comply with all of the terms and provisions of the Lease and shall perform all of its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay when due all Annual Fixed Rent and other Additional Rent. By not later than the Effective Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and yield-up the Premises in good and broom-clean order, repair and condition, free of all tenants and occupants, and otherwise in the condition in which the Premises are required to be surrendered, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Lease at the expiration of the Term. All property and alterations of any kind, nature or description remaining in the Premises after the Full Premises Surrender Date shall be and become the property of Landlord and may be disposed of by Landlord, without payment from Landlord and without the necessity to account therefor to Tenant.

D. Effective as of the Full Premises Surrender Date, Landlord shall be released from any and all obligations and liabilities thereafter accruing under the Lease. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver, limitation, amendment, or modification of any of the liabilities and obligations of Landlord under the Lease which accrue or arise prior to the Full Premises Surrender Date. Effective as of the Full Premises Surrender Date, Tenant shall be released from any and all liabilities and obligations thereafter accruing under the Lease. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver, limitation, amendment, or modification of any of the liabilities and obligations of Tenant under the Lease which accrue or arise prior to the Full Premises Surrender Date.

E. Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant fails to yield up and surrender the Premises by the Effective Termination Date, then for and with respect each day between the Effective Termination Date and the Full Premises Surrender Date, Tenant shall pay a holdover charge at the rate set forth in the Lease. Nothing herein contained shall constitute a release, waiver, limitation, or restriction of any rights or remedies of Landlord on account of Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises by the Effective Termination Date.

 

33


F. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s Termination Right pursuant to this Section 15.

16. Tenant Electricity. The Premises are separately metered or submetered for electricity measuring electrical service for lights and plugs (exclusive of electricity for base building HVAC service to the Premises which shall be included in Landlord’s Operating Expenses Allocable to the Office Area), and, from and after the applicable dates set forth in this Fourth Amendment, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional rent, for electricity in the Premises, periodically as billed by Landlord (but not more than monthly), based on the amount of electricity consumed by Tenant as measured by such submeter and the rate charged therefor by the utility company, without mark-up by Landlord. As of the date of this Fourth Amendment, Tenant’s use of HVAC service in the Premises after Normal Business Hours is measured by one or more submeters measuring Tenant’s usage of hot and chilled water. Tenant shall pay the charge for HVAC consumed after Normal Business Hours (“after-hours HVAC service”), as measured by said submeter(s) (“HVAC Charge”) as hereinafter provided. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as additional rent, the HVAC Charge, periodically as billed by Landlord (but not more than monthly), based on the amount of after-hours HVAC service consumed by Tenant as measured by such submeters. Effective as of the date that this Section 16 applies to an applicable portion of the Premises, the overtime HVAC charges set forth in Section 5.2 of the Existing Lease shall no longer apply.

17. Tenant Signage.

A. Landlord shall provide building standard signage in the standard graphics for the Building listing Tenant on all tenant directory(ies) for the Office Area. The initial listing of Tenant’s name shall be at Landlord’s expense. Any changes or additions to such directory(ies) shall be at Tenant’s cost and expense at the building standard rate charged from time to time to tenants of the Office Area. Tenant may install signage identifying Tenant, which may include Tenant’s corporate logo and colors, on the entrance door to the Premises and in the elevator lobbies on floors leased in whole or in part by Tenant and/or within the Premises, which signage shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If during the Term Landlord installs any digital display boards or signage at the Building which displays the names and/or logos of other tenants or occupants at the Building, then Tenant shall also have the right to be displayed on such digital display boards or signs (with display time proportionate to the Rentable Floor Area leased by the tenants thereon) on the same terms and conditions.

B. Landlord is currently designing lobby signage for tenants in the Office Area. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to lobby signage in the Office Area, which shall consist of one of the lobby signs designed by Landlord in a location to be designated by Landlord in the so-called “East Lobby” on the second (2nd) floor of the Office Area and containing the name and/or logo of Tenant (the “Lobby Sign”), so long as the Lobby Sign Conditions are satisfied. The size of the Lobby Sign and the design, colors and appearance of Tenant’s name and/or logo on such Lobby Sign shall be mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant. The Lobby Sign shall be installed by Landlord at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. The “Lobby Sign Conditions” are: (a) the Lease is in full force and effect, (b) [Intentionally Deleted], (c) the Lobby Sign is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (d) the fabrication, installation, maintenance and removal of such Lobby Sign is performed at Tenant’s expense in accordance with the terms and conditions governing alterations in the Lease, (e) the Premises is operating as Tenant’s headquarters, and (f) Tenant (together with any occupants pursuant to Permitted Transfers) is occupying at least 110,000 rentable square feet in the Office Area. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, within [***] after the date on which (i) the Lease is no longer in full force and effect; (ii) Tenant or occupants pursuant to Permitted Transfers no longer occupy at least 110,000 rentable square feet in the Office Area, (iii) the Premises ceases to be Tenant’s headquarters, or (iv) the Term of the Lease expires or is terminated, then Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, remove the Lobby Sign and repair all damage to the Building caused by the installation and/or removal of the Lobby Sign. The right to the Lobby Sign granted pursuant to this Section 17(B) is personal to Tenant and may not be exercised by any occupant, subtenant or assignee of Tenant, except for assignees or subtenants pursuant to Permitted Transfers.

 

34


18. Assignment and Subletting.

A. Article X (Assignment and Subletting) of the Existing Lease (as amended by Section 9(B)(ii) of the Third Amendment) is hereby amended to delete the second paragraph of Section 9(B) of the Third Amendment and replace the same with the following provision:

“(1) Tenant’s Notice; Landlord’s Recapture Right. In the event Tenant desires to (a) assign this Lease, or (b) to enter into a Major Sublease, as hereinafter defined, Tenant shall give Landlord either (y) a written notice of the proposed sublease or assignment (a “Proposed Transfer Notice”) in the event Tenant already has a specific assignment or sublease transaction or (z) a written notice stating that Tenant is contemplating entering into an assignment or Major Sublease (either such notice being hereinafter referred to as a “Notice of Intent to Transfer”) and Landlord shall have the right (“Landlord’s Recapture Right”) at its sole option, to be exercised (1) [***] after receipt of Tenant’s Notice of Intent to Transfer, or (2) within [***] after receipt of Tenant’s Proposed Transfer Notice (such response time period, as applicable to the type of notice received from Tenant, being referred to herein as the “Acceptance Period”), to terminate the Lease and recapture all or a portion of the Premises as follows and subject to clause (4) below: (I) in the event of a proposed assignment of the Lease, to terminate the Lease, (II) in the event of a proposed Major Ground Floor/BSC Sublease (as hereinafter defined), to terminate the Lease with respect to the Ground Floor Premises or the BSC RFO Premises, as applicable, (III) in the event of a proposed Major Full Term Sublease (as hereinafter defined), to terminate the Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet, or (IV) in the event of a proposed Major Partial Term Sublease (as hereinafter defined), to terminate the Term of the Lease for the portion of the Premises proposed to be sublet for the term of the proposed Major Partial Term Sublease (such portion of the Premises to be terminated pursuant to clause (I)-(IV), the “Recaptured Premises”). In each case, such termination shall be effective as of the Tenant’s proposed effective date of such assignment or sublease, as if such date were the last day of the Term of this Lease, provided, however, if Landlord exercises the rights under this Section to terminate this Lease in connection with a proposed sublease of a portion of the Premises, this Lease shall be deemed amended to eliminate the Recaptured Premises from the Premises as of the termination date, and thereafter the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be appropriately prorated to reflect the reduction of the Premises as of such termination date and, until such time, if at all, that the Term of the Lease recommences as to such Recaptured Premises and any such termination in connection with a Major Sublease shall be subject to any rights of Tenant expressly contained in the Tenant’s Notice of Intent to Transfer or Proposed Transfer Notice, as applicable, to terminate the sublease term early (in which case Landlord shall comply with Tenant’s election to have the Recaptured Premises released to Tenant as of such earlier date, if exercised), which right and obligation of Tenant shall expressly survive such termination.

 

35


(2) Major Sublease. A “Major Ground Floor/BSC Sublease” shall mean a sublease pursuant to which Tenant will sublet more than [***] of the Rentable Floor Area of either the Ground Floor Premises or the BSC RFG Premises for a sublease term of more than three (3) years or that expires during the last three (3) years of the then current Term. A “Major Full Term Sublease” shall mean a sublease pursuant to which Tenant will sublet (i) any portion of either the Fifth Floor Premises or Second Floor RFG Premises which is or will be separately demised for a sublease term that will expire within twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the then current Term, or (ii) more than [***] of the Rentable Floor Area of the Eighth Floor Premises (either alone or together with any prior subleases) which is or will be separately demised for a sublease term that will expire within twelve (12) months prior to the expiration date of the then current Term. A “Major Partial Term Sublease” shall mean a sublease pursuant to which Tenant will sublet more than [***] of the Rentable Floor Area of either of the Fifth Floor Premises or Second Floor RFO Premises (either alone or together with any prior subleases) which is or will be separately demised for a sublease term of more than four (4) years. A “Major Sublease” shall mean any of a Major Ground Floor/BSC Sublease, Major Full Term Sublease or Major Partial Term Sublease.

(3) Conditions Applicable to Recapture of Major Partial Term Subleases. If Landlord exercises its rights under this Article X to terminate the Term of the Lease with respect to a Major Partial Term Sublease for the term of the applicable Major Partial Term Sublease, then Landlord may lease the Recaptured Premises for the term of such recapture only to an existing tenant of the Building or an affiliate of an existing tenant of the Building.

 

36


(4) Conditions Applicable to Recapture of all Major Subleases. If Landlord exercises its rights under this Article X to terminate the Term of the Lease with respect to a Major Sublease, then (i) Landlord’s termination of this Lease and Landlord’s re-leasing of the Recaptured Premises shall be subject to any rights of Tenant expressly contained in Tenant’s Notice of Intent to Transfer or Tenant’s Proposed Transfer Notice, as applicable, to terminate the sublease term early (in which case Landlord shall comply with Tenant’s election to have the Recaptured Premises released to Tenant as of such earlier date, if exercised); provided, however, if Tenant’s Notice of Intent to Transfer contains a right of Tenant to terminate the sublease term early and Landlord does not exercise Landlord’s Recapture Right with respect to such Notice of Intent to Transfer, then in the event that Tenant intends to enter into a Major Sublease for such portion of the Premises identified in Tenant’s previous Notice of Intent to Transfer with no right of Tenant to terminate the sublease term early or with a materially later date for such early termination, then Tenant must deliver a Proposed Transfer Notice with respect thereto and Landlord shall at such time again have a Landlord’s Recapture Right with respect to such Proposed Transfer Notice, (ii) Landlord and Tenant will share equally in the cost to demise the Recaptured Space:, except that Landlord pays [***] of the cost to demise if the proposed subtenant was required to pay such costs pursuant to the proposed sublease delivered with Tenant’s Proposed Transfer Notice or pursuant to Tenant’s Notice of Intent to Transfer, (iii) Landlord will not enter into a lease for the Recaptured Premises with a Tenant Competitor, as hereinafter defined, so long as Tenant continues to occupy space on the same floor of the Office Area as the Recaptured Premises, (iv) any demising partitions and common areas that need to be constructed to demise the Recaptured Premises shall be entirely accommodated within the Recaptured Premises and shall not decrease the usable square footage of the portion of the Premises retained by Tenant, (v) Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless from and against any accident, injury or damage whatsoever to any person, or to the property of any person, occurring in the Recaptured Premises after Tenant’s delivery of possession to Landlord through the end of the Term of this Lease (which obligation shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease with respect to claims occurring during such period); and (vi) Landlord or its assignee or subtenant shall, unless Tenant agrees otherwise, restore the Recaptured Premises to the same condition in which the Recaptured Premises was delivered to Landlord, including restoration of all improvements and other Alterations, reasonable wear and tear excluded, and return such Recaptured Premises to Tenant at the expiration of the term Tenant proposed to sublease the same for. If Landlord fails to deliver such Recaptured Premises in the required condition on or before such re- delivery date, then for each day that Landlord fails to deliver such Recaptured Premises in the required condition after such re-delivery date, Tenant shall be entitled to a rent credit against the Base Rent payable under this Lease for the remainder of the Premises equal to the greater of (1) [***] of the daily Base Rent otherwise payable hereunder on account of the Recaptured Premises, and (2) the amount of fixed or base rent (and any holdover premium) collected by Landlord for any occupant of the Recaptured Premises. A “Tenant Competitor” shall mean a person or entity principally and primarily engaged, directly or indirectly (including through any partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture or similar arrangement (whether now existing or formed hereafter)) in the restaurant point of sale business.

 

37


(5) Landlord’s recapture and/or termination rights under this Article X shall not be applicable to any transaction constituting a Permitted Transfer and the rentable square footage of any transaction constituting a Permitted Transfers shall not be counted in determining any assignment or sublease thresholds set forth in the Lease, provided that following any Permitted Transfer Landlord’s Recapture Right shall continue to apply to any future assignment or Major Sublease that does not qualify as a Permitted Transfer on the terms set forth herein.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Article X of the Existing Lease (as amended by Section 9(B)(ii) of the Third Amendment), Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease without the consent of Landlord but after reasonable advance notice (not less than [***] before the effective date of the assignment or subletting except that if prior notice to Landlord of such assignment, sublease or transfer is prohibited by applicable securities laws or a written confidentiality agreement, then Tenant shall deliver such notice to Landlord within a reasonable time after Tenant is legally permitted to do so, but not later than the date [***] after the occurrence of the proposed assignment, sublease or transfer in question) to any other entity (the “Successor Entity”) which (i) which controls or is controlled by Tenant, or (ii) which is under common control with Tenant, or (iii) which purchases all or substantially all or substantially all of the assets or the business of Tenant, or (iv) which purchases a controlling interest in Tenant, or (v) which merges or combines with Tenant, provided that any entity to which this Lease is so assigned h as a credit worthiness (e.g. net worth using generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied and using the most recent financial statements) which is the same or better than the creditworthiness of the originally named Tenant as of the Fourth Amendment Execution Date (the foregoing transfers referred to, individually or collectively, as a “Permitted Transfers”). Tenant’s notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation showing each of the above conditions have been satisfied. If requested by Landlord, Tenant’s successor shall sign a commercially reasonable form of assumption agreement.

A. By not later than [***] after the execution of this Fourth Amendment, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a security deposit in the amount of [***] (the “Initial Security Deposit”), as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. By not later than January 5, 2020, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a security deposit in the amount of [***] (the “Additional Security Deposit”), as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease.

The Security Deposit shall be in the form of a clean, irrevocable, and unconditional letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) issued by and drawable upon a commercial bank which is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (the “Issuing Bank”), which has outstanding unsecured, uninsured and unguaranteed indebtedness, or shall have issued a letter of credit or other credit facility that constitutes the primary security for any outstanding indebtedness (which is otherwise uninsured and unguaranteed), that is then rated, without regard to qualification of such rating by symbols such as “+” or “-” or numerical notation, “Aa” or better by Moody’s Investors Service and “AA” or better by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service, and has combined capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than [***]. Landlord hereby approved JPMorgan as the Issuing Bank. The Letter of Credit shall (i) name Landlord as beneficiary, (ii) have a term of not less than one year, (iii) permit multiple drawings, (iv) either (x) be fully transferable by Landlord without the payment of any fees or charges by Landlord, or (y) Tenant shall be obligated to cause a replacement Letter of Credit to be issued for the benefit of Landlord’s transferee, at no fee or charge to Landlord, subject only to the return of the original Letter of Credit, and (v) otherwise be in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If upon any transfer of the Letter of Credit, any fees or charges shall be so imposed, then such fees or charges shall be payable solely by Tenant, but only for the first such transfer proposed by Landlord, and the Letter of Credit shall so specify. The Letter of Credit shall provide that it shall be deemed automatically renewed, without amendment, for consecutive periods of one year each thereafter during the Term (and in no event shall the Letter of Credit expire prior to the thirtieth (30th) day following the Third Extended Termination Date): provided, however, the Issuing Bank may retain the right to send duplicate notices (the “Non-Renewal Notices”) to Landlord and Tenant by certified mail, return receipt requested addressed to Landlord, not less than [***] next preceding the then expiration date of the Letter of Credit, stating that the Issuing Bank has elected not to renew the Letter of Credit. The Issuing Bank shall agree with all drawers, endorsers and bona fide holders that drafts drawn under and in compliance with the terms of the Letter of Credit will be duly honored upon presentation to the Issuing Bank or its correspondent bank at an office location in Boston, Massachusetts or by overnight delivery or facsimile in the continental United States. The Letter of Credit shall be subject in all respects to the International Standard Practice 1998 (ISP 98), International Chamber of Commerce Practice, Publication No. 590.

 

39


B. If (i) an Event of Default of Tenant occurs under this Lease, or (ii) Landlord receives a Non-Renewal Notice, or (iii) Tenant files a voluntary petition under any Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency code, law or proceeding, then Landlord shall have the right by sight draft to draw, at its election, all or a portion of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit and thereafter hold, use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of such proceeds, as the case may be, (x) to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is in default including (1) any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default, and/or (2) any damages to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to the Lease, whether such damages accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord, and/or (y) as a cash security deposit, unless and until, in the case of clause (ii) above, Tenant delivers to Landlord a substitute Letter of Credit which meets the requirements of this section. If Landlord applies or retains any part of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, or cash security, Tenant, upon demand, shall amend the Letter of Credit to increase the amount thereof by the amount so applied or retained or provide Landlord with an additional Letter of Credit in the amount so applied or retained so that Landlord shall have the full amount thereof on hand at all times during the Term. If Tenant shall comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, the Letter of Credit or cash security, as the case may be, shall be returned to Tenant not more than [***] after the Third Extended Termination Date and after delivery of possession of the Premises to Landlord in the manner required by this Lease and the curing of any outstanding Event of Default of Tenant under this Lease.

C. The Letter of Credit shall also provide that Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Tenant and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) all or any portion of its interest in and to the Letter of Credit to the holder of any mortgage upon the Building or the successor landlord in connection with a transfer of the Building, from or as a part of the assignment by Landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Landlord’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor. The provisions of this section shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of said Letter of Credit to a new landlord. In connection with any such transfer of the Letter of Credit by Landlord, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, execute and submit to the Issuing Bank such applications, documents and instruments as may be necessary to effectuate such transfer, and Tenant shall be responsible for paying the Bank’s transfer and processing fees in connection therewith but only for the first such transfer proposed by Landlord.

 

40


D. If, as a result of any drawing by Landlord on the Letter of Credit, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be less than the Letter of Credit Amount, Tenant shall, within [***] thereafter, provide Landlord with additional letter(s) of credit or an amendment to the existing letter of credit in an amount equal to the deficiency, and any such additional letter(s) of credit shall comply with all of the provisions of this Section and upon delivery, Landlord shall return to Tenant any cash security amount being held by Landlord. Tenant further agrees that it will neither assign nor encumber the Letter of Credit or any part thereof and that neither Landlord nor its successors or assigns will be bound by any such assignment, encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

E. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is entering into the Lease in material reliance upon the ability of Landlord to draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any Event of Default on the part of Tenant under the Lease. If an Event of Default shall occur, Landlord may, but without obligation to do so, and without notice to Tenant, draw upon the Letter of Credit, in part or in whole, to cure any Event of Default of Tenant and/or to compensate Landlord for any and all damages of any kind or nature sustained resulting from Tenant’s Event of Default. The use, application or retention of the Letter of Credit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Letter of Credit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Tenant agrees not to interfere in any way with payment to Landlord of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit, either prior to or following a “draw” by Landlord of any portion of the Letter of Credit, regardless of whether any dispute exists between Tenant and Landlord as to Landlord’s right to draw upon the Letter of Credit. No condition or term of the Lease shall be deemed to render the Letter of Credit conditional to justify the issuer of the Letter of Credit in failing to honor a drawing upon such Letter of Credit in a timely manner. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that (i) the Letter of Credit constitutes a separate and independent contract between Landlord and the Issuing Bank, (ii) Tenant is not a third party beneficiary of such contract, (iii) Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof, and (iv) in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim and/or rights to the Letter of Credit and/or the proceeds thereof by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

If the Reduction Conditions are not satisfied on a particular Reduction Date because Landlord has identified in writing a default of Tenant under the Lease, and Tenant then cures the applicable default in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Lease and twelve (12) months expires without any new default by Tenant under the Lease (or immediately if Tenant had not previously been notified of such default prior to the Reduction Date and Tenant cures the same within the applicable notice and cure period under the Lease), then Tenant shall have the right to resubmit the request for and be entitled to the applicable reduction that was previously scheduled pursuant to the term and conditions set forth above. The Security Deposit, as it may be reduced in accordance with the foregoing, shall continue to be held by Landlord throughout the Term. In no event shall the Security Deposit be less than [***].
