THIS INDENTURE OF LEASE (“the Lease” or “this Lease”) made and entered into on the Execution Date as stated in Exhibit 1 and between the Landlord and the Tenant named in Exhibit 1.

 

Reference is herein made to that certain Indenture of Lease dated May 12, 2006, entered into by and between Landlord and Tenant as subsequently amended by (i) First Amendment of Lease dated March 23, 2007, (ii) Second Amendment of Lease dated as of July 1, 2007, (iii) Third Amendment of Lease dated as of April 1, 2008; (iv) Fourth Amendment of Lease dated November 17, 2008; (v) Fifth Amendment of Lease dated July 6, 2009; and (vi) Sixth Amendment of Lease dated January 27, 2010 and (vii) Seventh Amendment of Lease dated as of June 29, 2010, (viii) Eighth Amendment of Lease dated March 31, 2011 and (ix) Ninth Amendment of Lease dated March 8, 2012 (collectively, the “Prior Lease”).  The Landlord and Tenant are the respective holders of the Landlord’s and Tenant’s interest under the Prior Lease.  Landlord and Tenant desire to amend and restate the Prior Lease in connection with the extension of the term thereof and the expansion of the Premises and to provide for the negotiated lease provisions set forth below.   Upon the Execution Date of this Lease,  the provisions of the Prior Lease shall not have any force or effect whatsoever except for any obligations under the Prior Lease which have accrued prior to the Execution Date and have not been satisfied, which obligations shall also survive.

 

Landlord does hereby demise and lease to Tenant, and Tenant does hereby hire and take from Landlord, the Premises hereinafter mentioned and described (hereinafter referred to as “Premises”), upon and subject to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease for the term hereinafter stated:

 

1.                                      REFERENCE DATA

 

Each reference in this Lease to any of the terms and titles contained in any Exhibit attached to this Lease shall be deemed and construed to incorporate the data stated under that term or title in such Exhibit.

 

2.                                      DESCRIPTION OF DEMISED PREMISES

 

2.1                               Demised Premises.  The Premises are that portion of the Building as described in Exhibit 1 (as the same may from time to time be constituted after changes therein, additions thereto and eliminations therefrom pursuant to rights of Landlord hereinafter reserved) and is hereinafter referred to as “Building”. The Premises are substantially as shown hatched or outlined on the Lease Plans (Exhibits 2, 2A, 2B and 2C) hereto attached and incorporated by reference as a part hereof.

 

2.2                               Appurtenant Rights. Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, rights to use in common, with others entitled thereto, subject to reasonable rules from time to time made by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice; (a) the common lobbies, hallways, stairways and elevators of the Building, serving the Premises in common with others, (b) common walkways necessary for access to the Building, and (c) if the Premises include less than the entire rentable area of any floor, the common toilets and other common facilities of such floor; and no other appurtenant rights or easements. In addition, Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, the rights set forth in Articles 29.17, 29.18, and 29.19. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Lease contained, Landlord has no obligation to allow any particular telecommunication service provider to have access to the Building or to Tenant’s Premises. If Landlord permits such access, Landlord may condition such access upon the payment to Landlord by the service provider of fees assessed by Landlord in its sole discretion.  Tenant shall also have, as appurtenant to the Premises, the right to use up to 60 KVA of capacity from a shared emergency generator that is currently located between Buildings 700 and 1400 in the Complex (the “Shared Generator”) on a non-exclusive basis in common with other tenants in the Complex.  Landlord shall perform all necessary maintenance and repair to the Shared Generator and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as additional rent, its pro rata share of such maintenance, repair and operating costs as billed by Landlord in common with other tenants having shared use of the Shared Generator.

 

2.3                               Exclusions and Reservations.                            (a)  All the perimeter walls of the Premises except the inner surfaces thereof, any balconies (except to the extent same are shown as part of the Premises on the Lease Plan (Exhibit 2), terraces or roofs adjacent to the Premises, and any space in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, pipes, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other utilities, sinks or other Building facilities, and the use thereof, as well as the right of access through the Premises for the purposes of operation, maintenance, decoration and repair, are expressly excluded from the Premises and reserved to Landlord.

 

1



 

(b)                                 In exercising any right which Landlord has to access the Premises, Landlord and Landlord’s agents, employees, or contractors shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises arising from any entry into the Premises by Landlord. Except in emergency situations, in no event shall Landlord, or its representatives or contractors, enter any secure areas designated by Tenant in writing to Landlord, unless Landlord (or its representatives or contractors, as the case may be) are accompanied by a representative of Tenant.

 

3.                                      TERM OF LEASE

 

3.1                               Definitions.  As used in this Lease the words and terms which follow mean and include the following:

 

(a)                                 The “Term Commencement Date” for each respective portion of the Premises shall be the date set forth in Exhibit 1 with respect to such portion of the Premises.

 

(c)                                  Intentionally Omitted

 

(d)                                 “Complex” shall be defined as all of the Building, the other buildings, and the Common Areas serving such buildings, all located on the land (“Land”) shown outlined on Exhibit 3.

 

(e)”Common Areas” shall be defined as the common walkways, accessways, and parking facilities located on the Land, as the same may be changed, from time to time.

 

(f)                                   Whenever the phrase “manner of use” is used in the Lease, it shall be deemed to refer to the acts or omissions of Tenant (or anyone claiming by, through, or under Tenant) in implementing Tenant’s Permitted Use of the Premises, as opposed to the nature of the Permitted Use itself.   For example, and without limiting the foregoing, Article 5.2 (where Tenant, among other things, agrees that Tenant will not injure other tenants of the Building) states:

 

“Landlord acknowledges that the use of the Premises for the Permitted Use stated in Exhibit 1 (as opposed to the manner of use of the Premises by Tenant, even if such manner of use is a Permitted Use) will not breach the provisions of the preceding sentence.”

 

This sentence shall be interpreted to mean (with respect to Tenant’s covenant not to injure other tenants of the Building) that the use of the Premises for laboratory and general business office purposes shall not be precluded by the provisions of Article 5.2, but that Tenant in using the Premises for laboratory and general business purposes shall not injure other tenants of the Building.

 

3.2                               Habendum.  TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Premises for a term of years commencing on the respective Term Commencement Date with respect to each portion of the Premises and ending on June 30, 2019 as stated in Exhibit 1 or on such earlier date upon which said term may expire or be terminated pursuant to any of the conditions of limitation or other provisions of this Lease or pursuant to law, subject to extension in accordance with Article 29.14 below (which date for the termination of the term hereof will hereafter be called “Termination Date”).

 

3.3                               Declaration Fixing Term Commencement Date.  As soon as may be practicable after the execution date hereof, each of the parties hereto agrees, upon demand of the other party to join in the execution, in recordable form, of a statutory notice, memorandum, etc. of lease and/or written declaration in which shall be stated the Term Commencement Date, a description of the Premises, a description of the RFO Premises, pursuant to Article 29.16 below, a description of the RFR Premises, pursuant to Article 29.20 below and the Termination Date, including Tenant’s option to extend the term of the Lease, as set forth in Article 29.14 below. If this Lease is terminated before the term expires, then upon Landlord’s request the parties shall execute, deliver and record an instrument acknowledging such fact and the date of termination of this Lease, and Tenant hereby appoints Landlord its attorney-in-fact in its name and behalf to execute such instrument if Tenant shall wrongfully fail to execute and deliver such instrument after Landlord’s request therefor within ten (10) days.

4.                                      CONDITION OF PREMISES; LANDLORD’S CONTRIBUTION

 

4.1                               Condition of Premises:  (a)                                          Existing Lab/Office Premises.  Tenant acknowledges that as of the Execution Date Tenant is in possession of the 2nd Floor Space, Additional Space, 4th Floor Space, Mezzanine Space, 1st Floor Space, the Basement Premises and the Storage Space under the Prior Lease and accepts the foregoing portion of the Premises “as-is”, in the condition in which said premises are in as of the Execution Date, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to prepare or construct said portion of the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy or complete any work therein and without any warranty or representation by Landlord as to the condition of said portion of the Premises.  Tenant shall have the right to use the Ph Neutralization system located in the Basement Premises throughout the term of the Lease.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord makes no representation or warranty to Tenant as to the condition of such system. Tenant shall, throughout the term of the Lease, maintain such system in the condition in which such system is in as of the Execution Date, reasonable wear and tear and fire and other casualty excepted.   Tenant further acknowledges that portions of the 4th Floor Space were delivered to Tenant with the equipment listed on Exhibit 8 attached hereto (the “Included Equipment”) located therein which equipment was provided to Tenant for its use during the term of the Prior Lease.  During the term of this Lease, Tenant may use the Included Equipment and Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses relating to moving, and operating the Included Equipment and shall maintain or cause to be maintained, and return and yield-up, the Included Equipment in the same good condition and repair as of the Execution Date, subject to reasonable wear and tear, and in compliance with all applicable laws and insurance requirements.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the term “reasonable wear and tear” constitutes that normal, gradual deterioration that occurs due to aging and ordinary use of the Included Equipment despite reasonable and timely maintenance and repairs; in no event shall “reasonable wear and tear” excuse Tenant from its duty to keep the Included Equipment in the condition and repair required hereunder.  Tenant shall not remove the Included Equipment from the Premises or materially modify or alter the Included Equipment without, in each instance, obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Landlord makes no representations or warranties of any kind or nature, express or implied, regarding the suitability of the Included Equipment for Tenant’s use.

 

(1)                                 Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that the reports described in Exhibit 10 are the most recent decommissioning reports provided from the previous tenants of the Expansion Space.

 

(2)                                 To the extent that the parties mutually determine that there is a problem with snow intake at the sidewall louver entering AH-1, Landlord shall, at no cost to Tenant, eliminate such problem in a manner which is mutually satisfactory to both parties.

 

(3)                                 Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that, as of the Execution Date of this Lease, the base Building systems serving the Expansion Space (“Premises Systems”) are in good working order. Tenant shall have the right, prior to the commencement of any Tenant’s Work in such Expansion Space, to determine whether the Premises Systems are, in fact, in good operating order. If Tenant believes that the Premises Systems are not in good working order, then Tenant may give Landlord written notice (“Defect Notice”) prior to the time that Tenant commences Tenant’s Work in such space. The Defect Notice shall set forth, with specificity, the manner in which the Premises Systems are in violation of Landlord’s representation under this Article 4.1(a)(3). If Tenant fails to give a Defect Notice prior to the time that Tenant commences Tenant’s Work, or if Tenant does not give Landlord a reasonable opportunity (at least three (3) business days) to investigate the claims set forth in the Defect Notice prior to the commencement of Tenant’s Work, then Tenant shall conclusively be deemed to have agreed that the Premises Systems were in good working order as of the Execution Date. If Landlord agrees that the Premises Systems are not in good working order, Landlord shall, at no cost to Tenant, perform any work necessary to place the Premises Systems in good working order. Landlord shall have the right, which right shall be exercisable by written notice to Tenant given on or before the date seven (7) days after Landlord receives the Defect Notice, to object to the Defect Notice. Any dispute under this Article 4.1(a)(3) may be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 29.4. If it is either agreed by the parties, or determined by the arbitrator, that the Premises Systems were not in good working order as of the Execution Date, then Landlord shall, promptly after such agreement or determination, perform any work necessary to place the Premises Systems in good working order. The provisions of this Article 4.1(a)(3) set forth Tenant’s sole rights and remedies in the event of any breach by Landlord of its representations and obligations under this Article 4.1(a)(3). Nothing herein shall relieve Landlord from its maintenance and repair obligations pursuant to Article 8.5 of the Lease.

 

(b)  Expansion Space:  The Expansion Space shall be delivered free of all tenants, occupants,

 

3



 

personal property, trade fixtures and equipment, with all base Building systems (including, without limitation, the HVAC and MEP systems) serving each Expansion Space in good working order, separately metered or check-metered for utility consumption and shall be delivered to Tenant in “as-is”, “where-is” condition without any warranty of fitness for use or occupancy, expressed or implied, except as expressly set forth herein.  Except for Landlord’s Work (as defined below), Tenant agrees that Landlord has no work to perform in or on the Expansion Space to prepare same for Tenant’s use and occupancy.  Upon request, Landlord and Tenant agree to execute a supplemental agreement confirming the actual commencement date for each respective Expansion Space once the same is determined.

 

(c)  Chemical Storage Space.  The Chemical Storage Space shall be delivered in broom clean condition, free of all tenants, occupants, personal property, trade fixtures and equipment, and in “as-is”, “where-is” condition without any warranty of fitness for use or occupancy, express or implied, and without any obligation on Landlord to complete any work to prepare same for Tenant’s use and occupancy.

 

4.2                               Landlord’s Contribution and Tenant’s Work.  A.  Tenant plans to complete certain Tenant’s leasehold improvements to the Premises, including the Expansion Space, (“Tenant’s Work”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to Articles 11, 12 and 13 hereof.  Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior written consent for all of Tenant’s Work (and Plans and Specifications therefor [as defined below]), and the contractors, engineers, architects, technicians and mechanics effecting same, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Tenant shall be responsible for the preparation of construction plans and specifications, including but not limited to architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life-safety and other Building systems and interfaces therewith (collectively, the “Plans and Specifications”), and any specialty engineering necessary for the completion of Tenant’s Work, all of which shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Landlord shall be entitled to deduct from Landlord’s Contribution (as defined below) all direct, reasonable third party out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Landlord in reviewing and approving the Plans and Specifications following delivery of detailed invoices for same to Tenant.

 

B.  In connection with Tenant’s Work, Landlord shall, in the manner hereinafter set forth, contribute up to (1) $6,585,742.50 in the aggregate (“Landlord’s Contribution”) toward the cost of the design and construction of Tenant’s Work based upon $150.00 per rentable square feet of the Expansion Spaces I, II, III and the Chemical Storage Space (totaling $3,487,500.00) and $35.00 per rentable square feet of the 2nd Floor Space and 4th Floor Space; $150.00 per rentable square feet of the Additional Space and $27.50 per rentable square feet of the Mezzanine Space (totaling $3,098,242.50) and (2) an additional $506,220.00 towards the cost of design and construction of the Tenant’s Work.  Notwithstanding the foregoing allocation of the Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant may utilize any portion of the Landlord’s Contribution in any portion of the Premises.

 

C.                                    Provided that Tenant is not in default of its obligations under the Lease at the time that Tenant requests any requisition on account of Landlord’s Contribution, Landlord shall pay the cost of the work shown on each requisition (as hereinafter defined) submitted by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of submission thereof by Tenant to Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord refuses to pay any portion of Landlord’s Contribution based upon a default of Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to resubmit its request for payment of such portion of Landlord’s Contribution (and Landlord shall make payment to Tenant on account of such resubmission, in accordance with the provisions of this Article 4.2) on the conditions that: (i) Tenant has cured such default, (ii) Tenant is then in full compliance with its obligations under the Lease, and (iii) the Lease is then in full force and effect. For the purposes hereof, a “requisition” shall mean written documentation showing in reasonable detail the costs of the improvements then installed by Tenant in the Premises. Each requisition shall be accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that all work covered by previous requisitions has been fully paid by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to inspect Tenant’s books and records relating to each requisition in order to verify the amount thereof. Tenant shall submit requisition(s) no more often than monthly.

 

D.                                    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained:

 

(i)                                     Landlord shall have no obligation to advance funds on account of Landlord’s

 

4



 

Contribution unless and until Landlord has received the requisition in question, together with certifications from Tenant’s architect, certifying that the work shown on the requisition has been performed in accordance with applicable law and in accordance with Tenant’s approved plans.

 

(ii)                                  Except with respect to work and/or materials previously paid for by Tenant, as evidenced by paid invoices provided to Landlord, Landlord shall have the right to have Landlord’s Contribution paid to both Tenant and Tenant’s contractor(s) and vendor(s) jointly, or directly to Tenant’s contractor if Landlord has reason to believe there are or may be outstanding claims by such contractor(s) or vendor(s).

 

(iii)                               The $3,098,242.50 portion of the Landlord’s Contribution attributable to the 2nd Floor Space, 4th Floor Space, Additional Space and Mezzanine Space shall be paid as follows: In calendar year 2012, Tenant shall have the right to requisition up to $1,032,747.50 in accordance with this Article 4.2.  In each of calendar years 2013 and 2014, Tenant shall have the right to requisition up to (a) $1,032,747.50 plus (b) the then unused amount of Landlord’s Contribution allocated to a prior year or years, if any, all in accordance with the terms of this Article 4.2.  If in calendar year 2015 or any subsequent calendar year, there remains any unused amount of Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant shall have the right to requisition such remaining funds in accordance with the terms of this Article 4.2; provided, however, in no event shall Tenant have the right to requisition such funds at any time after December 31, 2016,  unless Tenant exercises the option to extend described in Article 29.14.

 

(iv)                              Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against Yearly Rent equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of any unused portion of Landlord’s Contribution.

 

E.                                     Except for Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant shall bear all other costs of Tenant’s Work. Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for any claim, injury or damage alleged to have been caused by the particular materials, whether building standard or non-building standard, selected by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s Work.

 

F.                                      If Landlord fails timely to pay any amount properly due to Tenant on account of Landlord’s Contribution, and Landlord fails to cure such failure within ten (10) business days of written notice from Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right to deduct such amounts from the next installment(s) of Yearly Rent and other charges due under the Lease.

 

4.3                               Tenant Payments of Construction Cost.  Landlord shall have the same rights and remedies which Landlord has upon the nonpayment of Yearly Rent and other charges due under this Lease for nonpayment of any amounts which Tenant is required to pay to Landlord or Landlord’s contractor in connection with any construction in the Premises performed for Tenant by Landlord, Landlord’s contractor or any other person, firm or entity after the Term Commencement Date, subject to Tenant’s right to contest the same in good faith.

 

4.4                               Tenant Early Access.  Tenant shall have the right to enter each respective Expansion Space after the Effective Date and prior to the Term Commencement Date for each such Expansion Space, during normal business hours and without payment of rent but with prior notice to the Building property manager, to survey the equipment and systems serving the Expansion Space and to perform Tenant’s  Work provided such entry must be coordinated so as not to interfere with the completion of Landlord’s Work (as hereinafter defined).  Any such right of entry shall be subject to all provisions of this Lease (except for payment of rent), and any entry hereunder shall be at the risk of Tenant.  Prior to entering any Expansion Space, Tenant shall obtain all insurance Tenant is required to obtain under this Lease as to the Expansion Space and shall provide certificates of said insurance to Landlord.  Landlord and Tenant agree to work cooperatively to coordinate the completion of Tenant’s Work and Landlord’s Work in a timely manner.  During the completion of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall have access to the base Building infrastructure as is necessary to complete Tenant’s Work provided such access is reasonably approved by Landlord and is coordinated through Landlord in advance of completion.  Tenant shall also have the non-exclusive right to use the freight elevators during the construction of Tenant’s Work subject to reasonable rules and regulations from time to time made by Landlord including  reasonable advanced notice and scheduling.

 

4.5                               Landlord’s Work.  Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, complete the work

 

5



 

relative to the Expansion Space identified as a Landlord Responsibility Allocation in the table attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and provide and install on the existing roof dunnage (in a location mutually agreed upon by Tenant and Landlord) one (1) new 250 KW natural gas-fired, 60 Hz, three (3) phase, four (4) wire emergency generator (the “250KW Generator”), in a good and workmanlike manner using, where applicable, Landlord’s building standard design and construction materials and finishes (collectively, the “Landlord’s Work”).  Landlord’s Work has been broken down into multiple phases as indicated on Exhibit 4 based on the anticipated dates of completion of such work.  Landlord shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to complete the Phase 1 Landlord’s Work no later than twelve (12) weeks following the Execution Date of this Lease; the Phase 2 Landlord’s Work no later than eight (8) weeks following the date Landlord receives Tenant’s final specifications and requirements necessary for the completion of such work; the Phase 3 Landlord’s Work no later than twenty (20) weeks following the date Landlord receives Tenant’s final specifications and requirements necessary for the completion of such work and the Phase 4 Landlord’s Work no later than the date Tenant occupies the Expansion Spaces I, II and III for business purposes.  Landlord shall make additional dunnage available on the roof of the Building to accommodate a second 250KW emergency generator should Tenant have additional needs as shown on Exhibit 11.  Landlord makes no representations or warranties as to the suitability or use of said dunnage for Tenant’s specific generator.  As part of Phase 2 of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall ensure, and correct as necessary, that any Common Area heat pumps in the Premises are metered for usage on the Building meters and not the Premises meters or submeters.   In the event Landlord fails to complete a particular Phase of Landlord’s Work by the target dates set forth above, then (a) Tenant shall receive a per diem abatement of Yearly Rent payable with respect to the applicable Expansion Space(s) affected by such Phase of Landlord’s Work for each day by which the completion of such Phase extends beyond the target date set forth above, and (b) the Term Commencement Date with respect to the applicable Expansion Space(s) within which or for which such Landlord Work was to be completed shall be delayed one (1) day for each day beyond the applicable target date that Landlord fails to complete the particular Phase of Landlord’s Work (unless Tenant occupies such Expansion Space for business purposes in which case the Term Commencement Date for such Expansion Space shall be deemed to have occurred).  In the event Landlord fails to complete a particular Phase of Landlord’s Work within four (4) months following the respective target date for such Phase set forth above, then Tenant may elect, upon written notice to Landlord, to terminate this Lease with respect to the applicable Expansion Space(s) within which or for which such Landlord Work was to be completed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the target dates set forth above for the completion of each Phase of Landlord’s Work shall be extended by one (1) day for each day of delay, if any, in the completion of Landlord’s Work for such Phase caused by any act or omission of Tenant for each such Phase.

 

5.                                      USE OF PREMISES

(e)                                  Tenant agrees that it will not make any material alteration or material addition to the electrical service equipment in the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance first obtained, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, and will promptly advise Landlord of any other alteration or addition to such electrical service equipment.

 

8.2                               Water.  Landlord shall furnish hot and cold water for ordinary premises, cleaning, toilet, lavatory and drinking purposes. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose other than for the aforementioned purposes, Landlord may (i) assess a reasonable charge for the additional water so used or consumed by Tenant or (ii) install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant’s water consumption for all purposes. In the latter event, Landlord shall pay the cost of the meter and the cost of installation thereof and shall keep said meter and installation equipment in good working order and repair. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on said meter, together with the sewer charge based on said meter charges, as and when bills are rendered, and on default in making such payment Landlord may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant. All piping and other equipment and facilities for use of water outside the building core which exclusively benefit Tenant will be installed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

At Landlord’s sole election, such equipment will either be installed:

 

(a)                                 by Landlord at Tenant’s expense and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord in such an amount as will compensate it for the cost incurred by it in operating, maintaining, repairing and replacing, if necessary, such additional air conditioning equipment; or

 

(b)                                 by Tenant, subject to Landlord’s prior approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications for such work.

Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to minimize and eliminate, as soon as reasonably possible, the cause of any such interruption, curtailment, stoppage or suspension, but, except as set forth in Articles 8.6 and 15.6, there shall be no diminution or abatement of rent or other compensation due from Landlord to Tenant hereunder, nor shall this Lease be affected or any of the Tenant’s obligations hereunder reduced, and the Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for any such interruption, curtailment, stoppage, or suspension of services or systems.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease contained, if the Premises shall lack any service which Landlord is required to provide hereunder (thereby rendering the Premises or a portion thereof untenantable) (a “Service Interruption”) so that, for the Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period, as hereinafter defined, the continued operation in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business is materially adversely affected and if Tenant ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises during the period of untenantability as the direct result of such lack of service, then, provided that Tenant ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises during the entirety of the Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period and that such untenantability and Landlord’s inability to cure such condition is not caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, Yearly Rent, Operating Expense Share and Tax Share shall thereafter be abated in proportion to such untenantability until the day such condition is completely corrected.

 

For the purposes hereof, the “Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period” shall be defined as five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant of the condition causing untenantability in the Premises, provided however, that the Landlord Service Interruption Cure Period shall be ten (10) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant of such condition causing untenantability in the Premises if either the condition was caused by causes beyond Landlord’s control or Landlord is unable to cure such condition as the result of causes beyond Landlord’s control.

(c)                                  The provisions of Paragraph b of this Article 8.6 shall not apply in the event of untenantability caused by fire or other casualty, or taking (see Articles 18 and 20). The remedies set forth in this Article 8.6 shall be Tenant’s sole remedies in the event of a Service Interruption.

 

8.7                               Energy ConservationNotwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 8 or in this Lease contained, Landlord may institute, and Tenant shall comply with, such policies, programs and measures as may be necessary or required in order to comply with applicable governmental laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.

(a)                                 “Operating Year” shall mean a calendar year in which occurs any part of the term of this Lease.

 

(b)                                 “Tenant’s Proportionate Building Share” shall be the figures as stated in Exhibit 1. Tenant’s Proportionate Building Share is the ratio of the Total Rentable Area of the Premises (exclusive of the Basement Premises and Storage Space) to the aggregate Total Rentable Area of the Building.  Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Building Share with regard to each respective Expansion Space shall commence of each of the respective Expansion Space Commencement Dates.

 

(c)                                  “Tenant’s Proportionate Common Area Share” shall initially be the figure as stated in Exhibit 1.

As additional buildings are completed within the Complex, Tenant’s Proportionate Common Area Share shall be adjusted to equal the then current ratio of the Total Rentable Area of the Premises (exclusive of the Basement Premises and Storage Space)  to the aggregate Total Rentable Area within the Complex which is then completed and as to which a certificate of occupancy is issued.  Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Proportionate Common Area Share with regard to each respective Expansion Space shall commence as of each of the respective Expansion Space Commencement Dates.

 

(d)                                 “Taxes” shall mean the real estate taxes and other taxes, levies and assessments imposed upon the Building and the Common Areas of the Complex and upon any personal property of Landlord used in the operation thereof, or Landlord’s interest in the Building, the Common Areas, or such personal property; charges, fees and assessments for transit, housing, police, fire or other governmental services or purported benefits to the Building and/or the Common Areas; service or user payments in lieu of taxes; and any and all other taxes, levies, betterments, assessments and charges arising from the ownership, leasing, operating, use or occupancy of the Building, the Common Areas or based upon rentals derived therefrom, which are or shall be imposed by National, State, Municipal or other authorities.

10



 

charged thereon by the governmental authority, during that same fiscal tax year. “Taxes” shall not include any franchise, rental, income or profit tax, capital levy or excise, provided, however, that any of the same and any other governmental tax, excise, fee, levy, charge or assessment, however described, that may in the future be levied or assessed as a substitute for or an addition to, in whole or in part, any tax, levy or assessment which would otherwise constitute “Taxes,” whether or not now customary or in the contemplation of the parties on the Execution Date of this Lease, shall constitute “Taxes,” but only to the extent calculated as if the Complex is the only real estate owned by Landlord. “Taxes” shall also include expenses of tax abatement or other proceedings contesting assessments or levies. The parties acknowledge that, as of the Execution Date, Taxes are based upon several separate tax bills affecting the Complex. Taxes shall be allocated by Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, consistently applied among the Building (the portion of Taxes allocable to the Building being referred to herein as “Building Taxes”), the other buildings of the Complex, and the Common Areas (the portion of Taxes allocable to the Common Areas being referred to herein as “Common Area Taxes”).

(ii)                                  Annual Charge-Off. “Annual Charge-Off’ shall be defined as the annual amount of principal and interest payments which would be required to repay a loan (“Capital Loan”) in equal monthly installments over the Useful Life, as hereinafter defined, of the capital item in question on a direct reduction basis at an annual interest rate equal to the Capital Interest Rate, as hereinafter defined, where the initial principal balance is the cost of the capital item in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord reasonably concludes on the basis of engineering estimates that a particular capital expenditure will effect savings in Building operating expenses including, without limitation, energy-related costs, and that such projected savings will, on an annual basis (“Projected Annual Savings”), exceed the Annual Charge-Off of such capital expenditure computed as aforesaid, then and in such events, the Annual Charge-Off shall be increased to an amount equal to the Projected Annual Savings; and in such circumstances, the increased Annual Charge-Off (in the amount of the Projected Annual Savings) shall be made for such period of time as it would take to fully amortize the cost of the capital item in question, together with interest thereon at the Capital Interest Rate as aforesaid, in equal monthly payments, each in the amount of one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Projected Annual Savings, with such payments being applied first to interest and the balance to principal.

 

(iii)                               Useful Life.  “Useful Life” shall be reasonably determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in effect at the time of acquisition of the capital item.

Wherever separate metering is unlawful, prohibited by utility company regulation or tariff or is otherwise impracticable, relevant consumption figures for the purposes of this Article 9 shall be determined by fair and reasonable allocations and engineering estimates made by Landlord.

 

Insurance, etc.: Fire, casualty, liability, rent loss and such other insurance as may from time to time be required by lending institutions on first-class office buildings in the City or Town wherein the Building is located and, subject to the provisions of this Article 9.1(f), all other expenses customarily incurred in connection with the operation and maintenance of first-class office buildings in the City or Town wherein the Building is located including, without limitation, insurance deductible amounts and rental costs associated with the Building’s management office.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in determining the amount of Operating Costs for any calendar year or portion thereof falling within the term, if less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building shall have been occupied by tenants at any time during the period in question, then, at Landlord’s election, Operating Costs for such period shall be adjusted to equal the amount Operating Costs would have been for such period had occupancy been ninety-five percent (95%) throughout such period. The extrapolation of Operating Costs under this paragraph shall be performed by appropriately adjusting the cost of those components of Operating Costs that are impacted by changes in the occupancy of the Building.

 

9.2                               Tax Share.  Commencing as of the Commencement Date in respect of each portion of the Premises and continuing thereafter with respect to each Tax Year occurring during the term of the Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with respect to any Tax Period, the sum of: (x) Tenant’s Proportionate Building Share with respect to such portion of the Premises of Building Taxes for such Tax Period, plus (y) Tenant’s Proportionate Common Area Share with respect to such portion of the Premises of Common Area Taxes for such Tax Period, such sum being hereinafter referred to as “Tax Share”.  Tax Share shall be due within thirty (30) days after the time when billed by Landlord. In implementation and not in limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall remit to Landlord pro rata monthly installments on account of projected Tax Share, calculated by Landlord on the basis of the most recent Tax data or budget available. If the total of such monthly remittances on account of any Tax Period is greater than the actual Tax Share for such Tax Period, Tenant may credit the difference against the next installment of rental or other charges due to Landlord hereunder, except that if such difference is determined after the end of the term of the Lease, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord. If the total of such remittances is less than the actual Tax Share for such Tax Period, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the time when billed therefor.

 

Appropriate credit against Tax Share shall be given for any refund obtained by reason of a reduction in any Taxes by the Assessors or the administrative, judicial or other governmental agency responsible therefor, or otherwise. The original computations, as well as reimbursement or payments of additional charges, if any, or allowances, if any, under the provisions of this Article 9.2 shall be based on the original assessed valuations to the extent paid by Landlord, with adjustments to be made at a later date when the tax refund, if any, shall be paid to Landlord by the taxing authorities. Expenditures for legal fees and for other similar or dissimilar expenses incurred in obtaining the tax refund may be charged against the tax refund before the adjustments are made for the Tax Period.

 

9.3                               Operating Expense Share.  Commencing as of the Commencement Date in respect of each portion of the Premises and continuing thereafter with respect to each Operating Year occurring during the term of the Lease with respect to such portion of the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, with respect to any Operating Year, the sum of: (x) Tenant’s Proportionate Building Share with respect to such portion of the Premises of Building Operating Costs for such Operating Year, plus (y) Tenant’s Proportionate Common Area Share with respect to such portion of the Premises of Common Area Operating Costs for such Operating Year, such sum being hereinafter referred to as “Operating Expense Share”. In implementation and not in limitation of the foregoing, Tenant shall remit to Landlord pro rata monthly installments on account of projected Operating Expense Share, calculated by Landlord on the basis of the most recent Operating Costs data or budget available. If the total of such monthly remittances on account of any Operating Year is greater than the actual Operating Expense Share for such Operating Year, Tenant may credit the difference against the next installment of rent or other charges due to Landlord hereunder, except that if such difference is determined after the end of the term of the Lease, Landlord shall refund such difference to Tenant to the extent that such difference exceeds any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord. If the total of such remittances is less than actual Operating Expense Share for such Operating Year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the time when billed therefor.

 

9.4                               Part Years.  If a particular Commencement Date or the Termination Date occurs in the middle of

 

15



 

an Operating Year or Tax Period, Tenant shall be liable for only that portion of the Operating Expense or Tax Share, as the case may be, in respect of such Operating Year or Tax Period represented by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days of the herein term after such Commencement Date or prior to the Termination Date which falls within the Operating Year or Tax Period and the denominator of which is three hundred sixty-five (365), or the number of days in said Tax Period, as the case may be.

 

9.5                               Effect of Taking.  In the event of any taking of the Building or the land upon which it stands under circumstances whereby this Lease shall not terminate under the provisions of Article 20 then, Tenant’s Proportionate Building Share and Tenant’s Proportionate Common Area Share shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the proportion of the Premises and/or the Building remaining after such taking.

 

9.6                               Survival.  Any obligations under this Article 9 which shall not have been paid at the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease shall survive such expiration and shall be paid when and as the amount of same shall be determined to be due.

 

9.7                               Tenant’s Audit Right.  Subject to the provisions of this paragraph, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s cost and expense, to examine all documentation and calculations prepared in the determination of Operating Expense Share:

 

1.                                      Such documentation and calculation shall be made available to Tenant at the offices where Landlord keeps such records during normal business hours within a reasonable time after Landlord receives a written request from Tenant to make such examination.

 

2.                                      Tenant shall have the right to make such examination no more than once in respect of any period in which Landlord has given Tenant a statement of the actual amount of Operating Costs.

 

3.                                      Any request for examination in respect of any Operating Year may be made no more than one hundred twenty (120) days after Landlord advises Tenant of the actual amount of Operating Costs in respect of such period.

 

4.                                      Such examination may be made only by a qualified lease auditor with at least five years experience approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting Landlord’s approval rights, Landlord may withhold its approval of any examiner of Tenant who is being paid by Tenant on a contingent fee basis.

 

5.                                      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.

 

6.                                      If, after the audit by Tenant of Landlord’s books and records pursuant to this Article 9.7 with respect to any calendar year, it is finally determined that: (i) Tenant has made an overpayment on account of Operating Expense Share, Landlord shall credit such overpayment against the next installment(s) of Yearly Rent thereafter payable by Tenant, except that if such overpayment is determined after the termination or expiration of the Term, Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant the amount of such overpayment less any amounts then due from Tenant to Landlord; and (ii) Tenant has made an underpayment on account of Operating Expense Share, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days of such determination, pay such underpayment to Landlord.

 

7.                                      If, after performing any such audit, it is finally determined that Operating Costs for the calendar year under audit were overstated by more than five (5%) percent, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the lesser of: (x) $5,000, or (y) the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in performing such audit.

 

10.                               CHANGES OR ALTERATIONS BY LANDLORD

 

Landlord reserves the right, exercisable by itself or its nominee, at any time and from time to time without the same constituting an actual or constructive eviction and without incurring any liability to Tenant therefor or otherwise affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to make such changes, alterations, additions, improvements, repairs or replacements in or to: (i) the Building (including the Premises) (provided, however, that Landlord shall not make any changes, alterations, additions or improvements within the Premises without obtaining

 

16



 

Tenant’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the fixtures and equipment thereof, (ii) the street entrances, halls, passages, elevators, escalators, and stairways of the Building, and (iii) the Common Areas, and facilities located therein, as Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, and to change the arrangement and/or location of entrances or passageways, doors and doorways, and corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets, or other public parts of the Building and/or the Common Areas, provided, however, that there be no unreasonable obstruction of the right of access to, or unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of, the Premises by Tenant. Nothing contained in this Article 10 shall be deemed to relieve Tenant of any duty, obligation or liability of Tenant with respect to making any repair, replacement or improvement or complying with any law, order or requirement of any governmental or other authority to the extent required by this Lease. Landlord reserves the right to adopt and at any time and from time to time to change the name or address of the Building. Neither this Lease nor any use by Tenant shall give Tenant any right or easement for the use of any door, passage, concourse, walkway or parking area within the Building (excluding those located within the Premises) or in the Common Areas, and the use of such doors, passages, concourses, walkways, parking areas and such conveniences may be regulated or discontinued at any time and from time to time by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without affecting the obligation of Tenant hereunder or incurring any liability to Tenant therefor, provided, however, that there be no unreasonable obstruction of the right of access to, or unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of the Premises by Tenant.

 

If at any time any windows of the Premises are temporarily closed or darkened for any reason whatsoever including but not limited to, Landlord’s own acts, Landlord shall not be liable for any damage Tenant may sustain thereby and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation therefor nor abatements of rent nor shall the same release Tenant from its obligations hereunder nor constitute an eviction.

 

11.                               FIXTURES, EQUIPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS—REMOVAL BY TENANT

 

All fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances attached to or built into the Premises prior to or during the term, whether by Landlord at its expense or at the expense of Tenant (either or both) or by Tenant shall be and remain part of the Premises and shall not be removed by Tenant during or at the end of the term unless Landlord has the right to elect and does elect to require Tenant to remove such fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances, at the time that Landlord approves Tenant’s plans for the installation of the same in accordance with Article 12 of the Lease. All electric, plumbing, heating and sprinkling systems, fixtures and outlets, vaults, paneling, molding, radiator enclosures, cork, rubber, linoleum and composition floors, ventilating, silencing, air conditioning and cooling equipment, shall be deemed to be included in such fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances, whether or not attached to or built into the Premises, subject to the provisions of the next following sentence. Where not built into the Premises, all removable electric fixtures, carpets, drinking or tap water facilities, furniture, or trade fixtures or business equipment or Tenant’s inventory or stock in trade as well as those items listed on Exhibit 8A hereto (“Tenant’s Removable Property”) shall not be deemed to be included in such fixtures, equipment, improvements and appurtenances and may be, and upon the request of Landlord will be, removed by Tenant upon the condition that such removal shall not materially damage the Premises or the Building and that the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises or the Building arising from installation or such removal shall be paid by Tenant.

 

12.                               ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS BY TENANT

 

(a)                            Tenant shall make no alterations, decorations, installations, removals, additions or improvements in or to the Premises without Landlord’s prior written consent, and then only made by contractors or mechanics approved by Landlord. No installations or work shall be undertaken or begun by Tenant until: (i) Landlord has approved written plans and specifications and a projected time schedule for such work; (ii) Tenant has made provision for either written waivers of liens from all contractors, laborers and suppliers of materials for such installations or work, the filing of lien bonds on behalf of such contractors, laborers and suppliers, or other appropriate protective measures approved by Landlord; and (iii) with respect to such work in excess of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 ($100,000.00) Dollars, Tenant has procured appropriate surety payment and performance bonds. No material amendments or additions to such plans and specifications shall be made without the prior written consent of Landlord.

 

17



 

(b)                                 Any consent or approval of Landlord required under this Article 12 shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Landlord’s approval is solely given for the benefit of Landlord and neither Tenant nor any third party shall have the right to rely upon Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans for any purpose whatsoever. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall not be responsible for any elements of the design of Tenant’s plans (including, without limitation, compliance with law, functionality of design, the structural integrity of the design, the configuration of the Premises and the placement of Tenant’s furniture, appliances and equipment), and Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans shall in no event impose on Landlord any responsibility for such design. Landlord shall have no liability or responsibility for any claim, injury or damage alleged to have been caused by the particular materials, whether building standard or non-building standard, appliances or equipment selected by Tenant in connection with any work performed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises including, without limitation, furniture, carpeting, copiers, laser printers, computers and refrigerators.

 

(c)                                  Any such work, alterations, decorations, installations, removals, additions and improvements shall be done at Tenant’s sole expense (except for Landlord’s Contribution pursuant to Article 4.2 above), subject to such reasonable restrictions as to times and manner of construction as Landlord may from time to time designate.

 

(d)                                 If Tenant shall make any alterations, decorations, installations, removals, additions or improvements (collectively “Alterations”) then Landlord may elect, at the time that Landlord approves Tenant’s plans for any such alterations, etc., to require the Tenant at the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease to restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as existed immediately prior to such alterations, installations, removals, additions, and improvements.  Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall not be required to remove the improvements existing in the 2nd Floor Space as of the Execution Date of this Lease with the exception of all telecommunication, computer and other cabling installed by Tenant in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building (but subject to the provisions of Article 22).

 

(e)                                  Tenant shall pay, as an additional charge, the entire increase in real estate taxes on the Building which shall, at any time prior to or after Tenant initially occupies the Premises, result from or be attributable to such alteration, addition or improvement to the Premises made by or for the account of Tenant to the extent that it is determinable from the records of the assessing authority that such increase in Taxes is based solely upon such alteration, addition or improvement. Without limiting the foregoing, for any Tax Period in which the assessing authority determines the assessed value of the Building and the land based upon an income approach, then the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply.

 

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, and excluding Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, to make interior nonstructural alterations, additions, or improvements costing not more than Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($50,000.00) Dollars (“Permitted Alterations”), provided however that Tenant:

 

(i)                                     shall give prior written notice to Landlord of such alterations, additions or improvements;

 

(ii)                                  Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans for such alterations, additions or improvements if Tenant utilizes plans for such alterations, additions or improvements, and

 

(iii)                               that such alterations, additions or improvements shall not materially, adversely affect any of the Building’s systems, or the ceiling of the Premises.

 

13.                               TENANT’S CONTRACTORS—MECHANICS’ AND OTHER LIENS—STANDARD OF TENANT’S PERFORMANCE—COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

 

Whenever Tenant shall make any alterations, decorations, installations, removals, additions or improvements in or to the Premises—whether such work be done prior to or after the respective Commencement Date— Tenant will strictly observe the following covenants and agreements:

 

18



 

(a)                                 Tenant agrees that it will not, either directly or indirectly, use any contractors and/or materials if their use will create any difficulty, whether in the nature of a labor dispute or otherwise, with other contractors and/or labor engaged by Tenant or Landlord or others in the construction, maintenance and/or operation of the Building or any part thereof.

 

(b)                                 In no event shall any material or equipment be incorporated in or added to the Premises, so as to become a fixture or otherwise a part of the Building, in connection with any such alteration, decoration, installation, addition or improvement which is subject to any lien, charge, mortgage or other encumbrance of any kind whatsoever or is subject to any security interest or any form of title retention agreement. No installations or work shall be undertaken or begun by Tenant until (i) Tenant has made provision for written waiver of liens from all contractors, laborers and suppliers of materials for such installations or work, or taken other appropriate protective measures approved by Landlord; and (ii) with respect to installations or work, the cost of which exceed $100,000, Tenant has procured appropriate surety payment and performance bonds which shall name Landlord as an additional obligee and has filed lien bond(s) (in jurisdictions where available) on behalf of such contractors, laborers and suppliers. Any mechanic’s lien filed against the Premises or the Building for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant shall be discharged by Tenant within ten (10) business days thereafter, at Tenant’s expense by filing the bond required by law or otherwise. If Tenant fails so to discharge any lien, and such failure continues for five (5) business days after written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord may discharge or bond over such lien at Tenant’s expense and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any expense or cost incurred by Landlord in so doing within fifteen (15) days after rendition of a bill therefor.

 

(c)                                  All installations or work done by Tenant shall be at its own expense (except for Landlord’s Contribution, pursuant to Article 4.2 above) and shall at all times comply with (i) laws, rules, orders and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction thereof; (ii) orders, rules and regulations of any Board of Fire Underwriters, or any other body hereafter constituted exercising similar functions, and governing insurance rating bureaus; and (iii) to the extent contained in written materials provided by Landlord to Tenant, reasonable Rules and Regulations of Landlord.

 

(d)                                 Tenant shall procure all necessary permits before undertaking any work in the Premises; do all of such work in a good and workmanlike manner, employing materials of good quality and complying with all governmental requirements; and defend, save harmless, exonerate and indemnify Landlord from all injury, loss or damage to any person or property occasioned by or growing out of such work. Tenant shall cause contractors employed by Tenant to carry Worker’s Compensation Insurance in accordance with statutory requirements, Automobile Liability Insurance and, naming Landlord and Landlord’s agent as an additional insured, Commercial General Liability Insurance covering such contractors on or about the Premises in the amounts stated in Article 15 hereof or in such other reasonable amounts as Landlord shall require or authorize, and to submit certificates evidencing such coverage to Landlord prior to the commencement of such work.

 

14.                               REPAIRS BY TENANT—FLOOR LOAD

 

14.1                        Repairs by Tenant.  Tenant shall keep all and singular the Premises neat and clean (Tenant hereby acknowledging that Landlord shall have no obligation to perform rug shampooing, waxing of tiled floors, or cleaning of blinds and drapes) and in such repair, order and condition as the same are in on the respective Term Commencement Dates or may be put in during the term hereof, reasonable use and wearing thereof and damage by fire or by other casualty excepted.  Tenant shall be solely responsible for the proper maintenance of all of Tenant’s equipment and appliances operated by Tenant, including, without limitation, copiers, laser printers, computers and refrigerators.  In addition, Tenant shall be responsible for the repair and maintenance of the 250KW Generator and Tenant’s access to and its obligations generally with regard to the 250KW Generator shall be subject to the provisions of Section 29.18 of this Lease as if the 250KW Generator was HVAC Equipment and part of the Rooftop Mechanical Area as defined in Section 29.18.  Tenant shall make, as and when needed as a result of misuse by, or neglect or improper conduct of, Tenant or Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, contractors, invitees, or licensees or otherwise, all repairs in and about the Premises necessary to preserve them in such repair, order and condition, which repairs shall be in quality and class equal to the original work. If Tenant is responsible for repairs and fails to make such repairs within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord (except that no notice shall be required in an emergency), then Landlord may elect, at the expense of Tenant, to make such repairs, including repairs of any damage or injury to the Building or the Premises caused by moving property of Tenant in or out of the Building, or by installation or removal of furniture or other property, or by misuse by, or neglect, or improper conduct of, Tenant

 

19



 

or Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, contractors, or licensees.

 

14.2                        Floor Load—Heavy Machinery.  Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the floor load per square foot of area which such floor was designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to reasonably prescribe the weight and position of all heavy business machines and mechanical equipment, including safes, which shall be placed so as to distribute the weight. Business machines and mechanical equipment shall be placed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in settings sufficient in Landlord’s judgment to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance. Landlord shall advise Tenant of its requirements with respect to the location of machines and mechanical equipment upon Tenant’s written request after Tenant has advised Landlord of the items to be installed in the Premises by Tenant and other information reasonably requested by Landlord relating to such machines and equipment. Tenant shall not move any safe, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter, or fixtures into or out of the Building without Landlord’s prior written consent. If such safe, machinery, equipment, freight, bulky matter or fixtures requires special handling, Tenant agrees to employ only persons holding a Master Rigger’s License to do said work, and that all work in connection therewith shall comply with applicable laws and regulations. Any such moving shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant and Tenant will defend, indemnify and save Landlord harmless against and from any liability, loss, injury, claim or suit resulting directly or indirectly from such moving. Proper placement of all such business machines, etc., in the Premises shall be Tenant’s responsibility; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be responsible for placement of a machine or equipment if Landlord designates such placement.

 

Landlord hereby represents to Tenant that the Premises are designed with a live load floor loading capacity of seventy (70) pounds per square foot.

 

15.                               INSURANCE, INDEMNIFICATION, EXONERATION AND EXCULPATION

 

15.1                        General Liability Insurance.  (a) Tenant shall procure, and keep in force and pay for Commercial General Liability Insurance insuring Tenant on an occurrence basis against all claims and demands for bodily injury liability (including, without limitation, sickness, disease, and death) or damage to property which may be claimed to have occurred from and after the time Tenant and/or its contractors enter the Premises in accordance with Article 4 of this Lease, of not less than Five Million ($5,000,000) Dollars in the event of bodily injury to any number of persons or damage to property, arising out of any one occurrence, and from time to time thereafter shall be not less than such higher amounts, if procurable, as may be reasonably required by Landlord and are customarily carried by responsible similar tenants in the City or Town wherein the Building is located.

 

(b) Workers’ Compensation in amounts required by the State in which the Building is located and Employer’s Liability insurance in the amount of $3,000,000.00 per occurrence.

 

(c)                        Tenant shall obtain and maintain loss of income and extra expense insurance in amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all peril commonly insured against by prudent lessees in the business of Tenant or attributable to prevention of access to the Premises as a result of such perils.

 

(d)                       So called “Special Form” insurance coverage for all of its contents, furniture, furnishings, equipment, improvements, fixtures and personal property located at the Premises providing protection in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost basis of said items.  If this Lease is terminated as the result of a casualty in accordance with Section 18, the proceeds of said insurance attributable to the replacement of all tenant improvements installed at the Premises by Landlord or at Landlord’s cost shall be paid to Landlord.

 

(e)                        Any other form or forms of insurance as Tenant or Landlord or any mortgagees of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time in form, in amounts and for insurance risks against which a prudent tenant would protect itself and provided same are required by landlords of comparable buildings.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord requires Tenant to carry any forms of insurance or amounts other than as specified in Article 13 and Sections 15.1 (a), (b), (c) and (d) above and, as a result of such additional required coverage the aggregate cost to Tenant of the insurance required hereunder increases by more than $2,500 in any given year, the Tenant shall be entitled to a rent abatement equal to the amount of such overage.

 

20


 

15.2                        Certificates of Insurance.  Such insurance shall be effected with insurers approved by Landlord with an A.M. Best rating of X, A-, or better, authorized to do business in the State wherein the Building is situated under valid and enforceable policies wherein Tenant names Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent and Landlord’s Mortgagees as additional insureds with respect to the Commercial General Liability Insurance.  Such insurance shall provide that it shall not be canceled or non-renewed without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to each insured named therein. On or before the time Tenant and/or its contractors enter the Premises in accordance with Articles 4 and 14 of this Lease and thereafter not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date of each expiring policy, copies of the certificates setting forth the coverages provided for in Article 15.1 issued by the respective insurers or their authorized agents together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of the payment of all premiums for such policies, shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord or, upon request of Landlord, to the holder of any mortgage affecting the Premises.

 

15.3                        General.  Subject to Article 19, Tenant will save Landlord, its agents and employees, harmless and will exonerate, defend and indemnify Landlord, its agents and employees, from and against any and all claims, liabilities or penalties asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or public authority arising:

 

(i)                                     On account of or based upon any injury to person, or loss of or damage to property, sustained or occurring on the Premises during the term of this Lease and such periods of time, either prior to or after the term of the Lease, that Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant occupies the Premises or any portion thereof, on account of or based upon the act, omission, fault, negligence or misconduct of any person whomsoever (except to the extent the same is caused by Landlord, its agents, contractors or employees);

 

(ii)                                  On account of or based upon any injury to person, or loss of or damage to property, sustained or occurring elsewhere (other than on the Premises) in or about the Building (and, in particular, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, on or about the elevators, stairways, public corridors, sidewalks, concourses, arcades, malls, galleries, vehicular tunnels, approaches, areaways, roof, or other appurtenances and facilities used in connection with the Building or Premises) arising out of the use or occupancy of the Building or Premises by the Tenant, or by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, or on account of or based upon the act, omission, fault, negligence or misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors;

 

(iii)                               On account of or based upon (including monies due on account of) any breach by Tenant of its obligations under Article 13(b);

 

(b)                                 Tenant’s obligations under this Article 15.3 shall be insured either under the Commercial General Liability Insurance required under Article 15.1, above, or by a contractual insurance rider or other coverage; and certificates of insurance in respect thereof shall be provided by Tenant to Landlord upon request.

 

(c)                                  Landlord’s Indemnity of Tenant. Landlord, subject to the limitations on Landlord’s liability contained elsewhere in this Lease, agrees to hold Tenant harmless and to defend, exonerate and indemnify Tenant from and against any and all claims, liabilities, or penalties asserted by or on behalf of any third party for damage to property or injuries to persons sustained or occurring in the Building to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors.

 

(d)                                 If either party to this Lease (the “Indemnified Party”) becomes aware that a claim has been threatened or asserted by a third party that may result in a claim for indemnification under the Lease by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice of such claim to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”); provided, however, that in no event shall the failure to give such notice relieve or otherwise affect the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party hereunder unless the defense against such claim is materially prejudiced thereby. With respect to any claim that has been threatened or asserted by a third party that may

 

21



 

result in a claim for indemnification as described above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend against such claim with counsel of its own choosing, but at its own expense, and shall have the right to settle such claim as long as such settlement involves no cost or expense to the Indemnified Party.

 

15.4                        Property of Tenant.  In addition to and not in limitation of the foregoing, Tenant covenants and agrees that, to the maximum extent permitted by law, all merchandise, furniture, fixtures and property of every kind, nature and description related or arising out of Tenant’s leasehold estate hereunder, which may be in or upon the Premises or Building, in the public corridors, or on the sidewalks, areaways and approaches adjacent thereto, shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant, and that if the whole or any part thereof shall be damaged, destroyed, stolen or removed from any cause or reason whatsoever no part of said damage or loss shall be charged to, or borne by, Landlord, unless, subject to Article 19 hereof, such damage or loss is due to the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors.

 

15.5                        Bursting of Pipes, etc.  Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, air contaminants or emissions, electricity, electrical or electronic emanations or disturbance, water, rain or snow or leaks from any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances, equipment or plumbing works or from the roof, street or sub-surface or from any other place or caused by dampness, vandalism, malicious mischief or by any other cause of whatever nature, unless caused by or due to the negligence of Landlord or its contractors, or agents or employees of either, and then only, where notice and an opportunity to cure are appropriate (i.e., where Tenant has an opportunity to know or should have known of such condition sufficiently in advance of the occurrence of any such injury or damage resulting therefrom as would have enabled Landlord to prevent such damage or loss had Tenant notified Landlord of such condition), after (i) notice to Landlord of the condition claimed to constitute negligence and (ii) the expiration of a reasonable time after such notice has been received by Landlord without Landlord having taken all reasonable and practicable means to cure or correct such condition; and pending such cure or correction by Landlord, Tenant shall take all reasonably prudent temporary measures and safeguards to prevent any injury, or damage to persons or property. In no event shall Landlord be liable for any loss of Tenant’s property, the risk of which is covered by Tenant’s insurance or is required to be so covered by this Lease; nor shall Landlord or its agents be liable for any such damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Building or caused by operations in construction of any private, public, or quasi-public work; nor shall Landlord be liable for any latent defect in the Premises or in the Building, provided, however, that the foregoing shall not relieve Landlord of its obligations to make any repairs under Article 8.5.

 

15.6                        Repairs and Alterations—No Diminution of Rental Value.  (a) Except as otherwise provided in Articles 8.6, 15.6 and 18, there shall be no allowance to Tenant for diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Landlord by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to Tenant arising from any repairs, alterations, additions, replacements or improvements made by Landlord in accordance with this Lease, or any related work performed in accordance with this Lease by Tenant or others in or to any portion of the Building or Premises or any property adjoining the Building, or in or to fixtures, appurtenances, or equipment thereof, or for failure of Landlord or others to make any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in or to any portion of the Building, or of the Premises, or in or to the fixtures, appurtenances or equipment thereof.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease contained, if due to any such repairs, alterations, replacements, or improvements made by Landlord or if due to Landlords failure to make any repairs, alterations, or improvements required to be made by Landlord, any portion of the Premises becomes untenantable so that for the Premises Untenantability Cure Period, as hereinafter defined, the continued operation in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business is materially adversely affected, then, provided that Tenant ceases to use the affected portion of the Premises during the entirety of the Premises Untenantability Cure Period by reason of such untenantability, and that such untenantability and Landlord’s inability to cure such condition is not caused by the fault or neglect of Tenant or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, Yearly Rent, Operating Expense Share and Tax Share shall thereafter be abated in proportion to such untenantability until the day such condition is completely corrected. For the purposes hereof, the “Premises Untenantability Cure Period” shall be defined as five (5) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant of the condition causing untenantability in the Premises, provided however, that the Premises Untenantability Cure Period shall be ten (10) consecutive business days after Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant of such condition causing untenantability in the Premises if either the condition was caused by causes beyond Landlord’s control or Landlord is unable to cure such condition as the result of causes beyond Landlord’s control.

 

22



 

(c)                                  The provisions of Paragraph (b) of this Article 15.6 shall not apply in the event of untenantability caused by fire or other casualty, or taking (see Articles 18 and 20).

 

16.                               ASSIGNMENT, MORTGAGING AND SUBLETTING

 

A.                                    Tenant covenants and agrees that neither this Lease nor the term and estate hereby granted, nor any interest herein or therein, will be assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise transferred, voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and that neither the Premises, nor any part thereof will be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the part of Tenant, or used or occupied, or permitted to be used or occupied, or utilized for desk space or for mailing privileges, by anyone other than Tenant, or for any use or purpose other than as stated in Exhibit 1, or be sublet, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, which consent shall not, subject to the provisions of this Article 16, be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to: (i) subleases of the Premises, or any portion thereof, and (ii) assignments of Tenant’s interest in the Lease, Tenant hereby acknowledging that, in determining whether Landlord will grant its consent, Landlord may consider whether, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the proposed subtenant or assignee is, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, financially responsible (taking into account the fact that Tenant remains liable as the party-tenant under this Lease) and of good reputation, and Landlord may withhold its consent if the proposed subtenant or assignee is a tenant in the Complex who is then in active negotiations with Landlord for space of similar size, type and lease term.

 

B.                                    Permitted Tenant Successor.  Financial Test. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby expressly understood and agreed however, if Tenant is a corporation, that the assignment or transfer of this Lease, and the term and estate hereby granted, to any corporation or other entity (“Permitted Tenant Successor”) into which Tenant is merged or with which Tenant is consolidated or to which Tenant transfers all or substantially all of its assets shall be permitted without Landlord’s consent if: (i) in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Tenant then satisfies the Financial Test, as hereinafter defined, (ii) the financial condition of the Permitted Tenant Successor immediately following such assignment or transfer is at least as good as the financial condition of Tenant immediately prior to such assignment or transfer, and (iii) the Permitted Tenant Successor and Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an agreement (an “Assignment Agreement”) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord whereby the Permitted Tenant Successor shall agree to be independently bound by and upon all the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions set forth in this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed, and whereby the Permitted Tenant Successor shall expressly agree that the provisions of this Article 16 shall, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, continue to be binding upon it with respect to all future assignments and transfers. For the purposes of this Lease, Tenant shall be deemed to have satisfied the “Financial Test” if, as evidenced by the Financial Statements, as hereinafter defined, of Tenant for the six months immediately preceding the transfer of the Lease to the Permitted Transferee, it is apparent that Tenant would be able to meet its average monthly obligations for one (1) year period following such transfer based upon Tenant’s current working capital (i.e. the amount by which cash and cash equivalent assets exceed short term liabilities), the average use of cash and cash equivalent assets by Tenant per month, and the average monthly short term liabilities of Tenant. The “Financial Statements” shall be defined as financial statements (asset and income statements) of Tenant, prepared in form reasonable acceptable to Landlord, and certified as accurate by the chief financial officer of Tenant.

 

C.                                    Affiliated EntitiesNotwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord’s consent, to assign its interest in this Lease and to sublease the Premises, or any portion thereof, to an Affiliated Entity, as hereinafter defined, so long as such entity remains in such relationship to Tenant, and provided that prior to or simultaneously with such assignment or sublease, such Affiliated Entity executes and delivers to Landlord an Assumption Agreement, as hereinabove defined and further provided that Tenant meets the Financial Test, as defined in Article 16B hereof. For the purposes hereof, an “Affiliated Entity” shall be defined as any entity which directly or indirectly is controlled by, is under common control with, or which controls Tenant. For the purposes hereof, control shall mean the direct or indirect ownership of at least fifty (50%) percent of the beneficial interest of the entity in question. Any Permitted Tenant Successor which satisfies the requirements of Article 16C and any Affiliated Entity which satisfies the requirements of Article 16D is sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Permitted Transferee”.

 

D.                                    Landlord’s Recapture RightNotwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained: (i) if Tenant proposes to assign Tenant’s interest in the Lease to other than a Permitted Transferee, or if Tenant proposes to sublease the entirety of the Premises to other than a Permitted Transferee, then Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing prior to Tenant putting the subject space “on the market”, and Landlord shall have an option to cancel and

 

23



 

terminate this Lease, and (ii) if Tenant proposes to sublease a portion of the Premises so that, upon the commencement of the term of such sublease, there shall be then in effect subleases to entities other than Permitted Transferees which, taking into account the proposed sublease, affect more than fifty percent (50%) of the Total Rentable Area of the Premises then demised to Tenant, then Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing prior to Tenant pulling the subject space “on the market”, and Landlord shall have an option to cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises proposed to be subleased (but not with respect to other portions of the Premises then affected by any other sublease or subleases). Landlord may exercise such cancellation right by giving written notice to Tenant on or before the date twenty (20) days after Landlord receives written notice from Tenant as to the proposed assignment or sublease in question. If Landlord exercises such right, then the effective date of cancellation or termination shall occur as of the date set forth in Landlord’s notice of exercise of such option, which shall not be less than sixty (60) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days following the giving of such notice. If Landlord exercises Landlord’s option to cancel this Lease or any portion thereof, Tenant shall surrender possession of the Premises, or the portion thereof which is the subject of the option, as the case may be, on the date set forth in Landlord’s notice in accordance with the provisions of this Lease relating to surrender of the Premises at the expiration of the Term. If this Lease is cancelled as to a portion of the Premises only, Rent (including any additional rent) after the date of cancellation shall be abated on a pro rata basis in proportion to the portion of the applicable portion of the Premises to which the Lease no longer is effective or applies, and Tenant’s Proportionate Share and the number of parking passes shall be proportionately reduced. If Landlord does not exercise Landlord’s option to cancel this Lease or any portion thereof pursuant to the foregoing provisions within the permitted time period, then Landlord shall be deemed to have waived such option to cancel or terminate the Lease as to the assignment or sublease in question, but Landlord’s consent to such sublease or assignment shall continue to be required in accordance with the other provisions of this Article 16.

 

E.                                     Tenant DefaultNotwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 16 contained, if Tenant is in default of its obligations under the Lease beyond any applicable notice or grace periods, at the time that it requests Landlord’s consent to a proposed sublease or assignment, such default shall be deemed to be a “reasonable” reason for Landlord withholding its consent to any proposed subletting or assignment for as long as such default remains uncured.

 

F.                                      No Release of TenantNo subletting or assignment shall relieve Tenant of its primary obligation as party Tenant hereunder, nor shall it reduce or increase Landlord’s obligations under the Lease.

 

G.                                    Net Transfer ProfitIn the event of an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises or any portion thereof to anyone other than a Permitted Transferee, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty (50%) percent of any Net Transfer Profits (as defined below), payable in accordance with the following. In the case of an assignment of this Lease, “Net Transfer Profit”: (1) shall be defined as a lump sum in the amount (if any) by which any consideration paid by the assignee in consideration of or as an inducement to Tenant to make said assignment exceeds the reasonable attorneys’ fees, construction costs and brokerage fees incurred by Tenant in order to effect such assignment (collectively, “Transfer Expenses”); and (2) be payable concurrently with the payment to be made by the assignee to Tenant. In the case of a sublease, Net Transfer Profit”: (3) shall be defined as a monthly amount equal to the amount by which the sublease rent and other charges paid by the subtenant to Tenant under the sublease exceed the sum of (x) the rent and other charges payable under this Lease for the Premises or allocable to the sublet portion thereof, plus (y) an amount equal to any Transfer Expenses not previously reimbursed to Tenant, and (4) shall be payable on a monthly basis concurrently with the subtenant’s payment of rent to Tenant under the sublease.

 

H.                                   The listing of any name other than that of Tenant, whether on the doors of the Premises or on the Building directory, or otherwise, shall not operate to vest in any such other person, firm or corporation any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises or be deemed to effect or evidence any consent of Landlord, it being expressly understood that any such listing for a party other than Tenant is a privilege extended by Landlord revocable at will by written notice to Tenant.

 

I.                                        If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, collect rent and other charges from the assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent and other charges herein reserved then due, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as a tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. Any consent by Landlord to a particular

 

24



 

assignment or subletting shall not in any way diminish the prohibition stated in the first sentence of this Article 16 (as to a later assignment or subletting) or the continuing liability of the Tenant named on Exhibit 1 as the party Tenant under this Lease. No assignment or subletting shall affect the purpose for which the Premises may be used as stated in Exhibit 1 and Article 5.1.

17.1                        Rules and Regulations.  Tenant will faithfully observe and comply with the Rules and Regulations, if any, annexed hereto and such other and further reasonable Rules and Regulations as Landlord hereafter at any time or from time to time may make and may communicate in writing to Tenant, which in the reasonable judgment of Landlord shall be necessary for the reputation, safety, care or appearance of the Building, or the preservation of good order therein, or the operation or maintenance of the Building, or the equipment thereof, or the comfort of tenants or others in the Building, provided, however, that in the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Lease and any such regulations, the provisions of this Lease shall control, and provided further that nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed to impose upon Landlord any duty or obligation to enforce the Rules and Regulations or the terms, covenants or conditions in any other lease as against any other tenant and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for violation of the same by any other tenant, its servants, employees, agents, contractors, visitors, invitees or licensees.

Tenant shall reimburse and compensate Landlord for all expenditures made by, or damages or fines sustained or incurred by, Landlord due to nonperformance or noncompliance with or breach or failure to observe any item, covenant, or condition of this Lease upon Tenant’s part to be kept, observed, performed or complied with, which nonperformance, noncompliance, breach or failure continues beyond the applicable notice and cure period set forth in Article 21.7 hereof (except that no notice shall be required in an emergency) .

(b)                                 Landlord shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“ADA”) so far as they relate to the parking areas, elevators, common doorways, common bathrooms, common restrooms and other common areas of the Building and/or Complex.

17.8                        Tenant’s Acts—Effect on InsuranceTenant shall not knowingly do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the Premises or elsewhere in the Building which will invalidate or be in conflict with any insurance policies covering the Building and the fixtures and property therein; and shall not do, or permit to be done, any act or thing upon the Premises which shall subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or persons or to property by reason of any business or operation being carried on upon said Premises or for any other reason.

If by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with the provisions hereof the insurance rate applicable to any policy of insurance shall at any time thereafter be higher than it otherwise would be, the Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for that part of any insurance premiums thereafter paid by Landlord, which shall have been charged because of such failure by Tenant. Landlord acknowledges that the use of the Premises for the Permitted Use stated in Exhibit 1 (as opposed to the manner of use of the Premises by Tenant, even if such manner of use is a Permitted Use) will not breach the provisions of this Article 17.8.

 

17.9                        Miscellaneous.  Tenant shall not suffer or permit the Premises or any fixtures, equipment or utilities therein or serving the same, to be overloaded, damaged or defaced, nor permit any hole to be drilled or made in any part thereof, except in connection with work performed in accordance with this Lease.

Such Tenant’s insurance with respect to Tenant’s Insured Property shall insure the interests of both Landlord and Tenant as their respective interests may appear from time to time and shall name Landlord as an additional insured; and the proceeds thereof shall be used only for the replacement or restoration of such property.

 

(b)                                 If any portion of the Premises or common areas of the Building required to be insured by Landlord under the preceding paragraph shall be damaged by fire or other insured casualty, Landlord shall proceed with diligence, subject to the then applicable statutes, building codes, zoning ordinances, and regulations of any governmental authority, and at the expense of Landlord (but only to the extent of insurance proceeds made available to Landlord by any mortgagee and/or ground lessor of the real property of which the Premises are a part) to repair or cause the damaged portions of the Premises and the common areas of the Building to be repaired and restored to the condition that existed prior to such damage, including repairs to Tenant’s alterations, decorations, additions and improvements which shall be performed by Landlord; in all other respects, all repairs to and replacements of Tenant’s personal property shall be made by and at the expense of Tenant.

(d)                                 Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord in such manner as Landlord may reasonably request in assisting Landlord in collecting insurance proceeds due in connection with any casualty which affects the Premises.

 

(e)                                  Landlord shall not be liable for delays in the making of any such repairs which are due to government regulation, casualties and strikes, unavailability of labor and materials, and other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, nor shall Landlord be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting from delays in repairing such damage.

 

(f)                                   If (i) the Premises are so damaged by fire or other casualty (whether or not insured) at any time during the last eighteen (18) months of the term hereof that the cost to repair such damage to the Premises is reasonably estimated to exceed one-half (1/2) of the total Yearly Rent payable hereunder for the period from the estimated date of restoration until the Termination Date, or (ii) the Building (whether or not including any portion of the Premises) is so damaged by fire or other casualty (whether or not insured) that substantial alteration or reconstruction or demolition of the Building shall in Landlord’s bona fide business judgment be required, and (with respect to a termination pursuant to this clause (f)), Landlord terminates the leases of all tenants of the Building similarly affected by the fire or casualty in question, then and in either of such events, this Lease and the term hereof may be terminated at the election of Landlord by a notice in writing of its election so to terminate which shall be given by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days following such fire or other casualty, the effective termination date of which shall be not less than thirty (30) days after the day on which such termination notice is received by Tenant. In the event of any termination, this Lease and the term hereof shall expire as of such effective termination date as though that were the Termination Date as stated in Exhibit 1 and the Yearly Rent shall be apportioned as of such date; and if the Premises or any part thereof shall have been rendered unfit for use and occupation by reason of

 

28



 

such damage the Yearly Rent and the additional charges (including Tax Share and Operating Expense Share) for the period from the date of the fire or other casualty to the effective termination date, or a just and proportionate part thereof, according to the nature and extent to which the Premises shall have been so rendered unfit or inaccessible, shall be abated.

 

(g)                                  In the event that the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty to such an extent so as to render the Premises, or a substantial portion thereof, untenantable, and if Landlord shall fail to substantially complete said repairs or restoration within two hundred forty (240) days after the date of such fire or other casualty (“Restoration Period”) for any reason other than Tenant’s fault, Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice as follows:

 

(i)                                     Said notice shall be given after the Restoration Period.

 

(ii)                                  Said notice shall set forth an effective date which is not earlier than thirty (30) days after Landlord receives said notice.

 

(iii)                               If said repairs or restoration are substantially complete on or before the date thirty (30) days (which thirty-(30)-day period shall be extended by the length of any delays caused by Tenant or Tenant’s contractors) after Landlord receives such notice, said notice shall have no further force and effect.

 

(iv)                              If said repairs or restoration are not substantially complete on or before the date thirty (30) days (which thirty-(30)-day period shall be extended by the length of any delays caused by Tenant or Tenant’s contractors) after Landlord receives such notice, the Lease shall terminate as of said effective date.

 

19.                               WAIVER OF SUBROGATION

 

In any case in which Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord any loss, cost, damage, liability, or expense suffered or incurred by Landlord, Landlord shall allow to Tenant as an offset against the amount thereof (i) the net proceeds of any insurance collected by Landlord for or on account of such loss, cost, damage, liability or expense, provided that the allowance of such offset does not invalidate or prejudice the policy or policies under which such proceeds were payable, and (f) the amount of any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense caused by a peril covered by the broadest form of property insurance generally available on the Building or in property in buildings of the type of the Building, whether or not actually procured by Landlord.

 

In any case in which Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent shall be obligated to pay to Tenant any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense suffered or incurred by Tenant, Tenant shall allow to Landlord or Landlord’s managing agent, as the case may be, as an offset against the amount thereof (i) the net proceeds of any insurance collected by Tenant for or on account of such loss, cost, damage, liability, or expense, provided that the allowance of such offset does not invalidate the policy or policies under which such proceeds were payable and (ii) the amount of any loss, cost, damage, liability or expense caused by a peril covered by the broadest form of property insurance generally available on the Building or in property in buildings of the type of the Building, whether or not actually procured by Tenant.

 

The parties hereto shall each procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any property insurance policy covering the Premises and the Building and personal property, fixtures and equipment located thereon and therein, pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation or consent to a waiver of right of recovery in favor of either party, its respective agents or employees. Each party hereby agrees that it will not make any claim against or seek to recover from the other or its agents or employees for any loss or damage to its property or the property of others resulting from fire or other perils covered by such property insurance.

 

20.                               CONDEMNATION - EMINENT DOMAIN

 

In the event that the Premises or any material part thereof, or the whole or any material part of the Building (i.e., such that Landlord, in Landlord’s bona fide business judgment, determines that the continued operation of the Building is uneconomic), shall be taken or appropriated by eminent domain or shall be condemned for any public or

 

29



 

quasi-public use, or (by virtue of any such taking, appropriation or condemnation) shall suffer any damage (direct, indirect or consequential) for which Landlord or Tenant shall be entitled to compensation, then (and in any such event) this Lease and the term hereof may be terminated at the election of Landlord by a notice in writing of its election so to terminate which shall be given by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days following the date on which Landlord shall have received notice of such taking, appropriation or condemnation. In the event that a substantial part of the Premises or of the means of access thereto shall be so taken (i.e., such portion of the Premises or access is taken so that Tenant determines, in Tenant’s bona fide business judgment, that Tenant’s use of the Premises is materially adversely affected), appropriated or condemned, then (and in any such event) this Lease and the term hereof may be terminated at the election of Tenant by a notice in writing of its election so to terminate which shall be given by Tenant to Landlord within sixty (60) days following the date on which Tenant shall have received notice of such taking, appropriation or condemnation.

 

Upon the giving of any such notice of termination (either by Landlord or Tenant) this Lease and the term hereof shall terminate on or retroactively as of the date on which Tenant shall be required to vacate any part of the Premises or shall be deprived of a material part of the means of access thereto, provided, however, that Landlord may in Landlord’s notice elect to terminate this Lease and the term hereof retroactively as of the date on which such taking, appropriation or condemnation became legally effective. In the event of any such termination, this Lease and the term hereof shall expire as of such effective termination date as though that were the Termination Date as stated in Exhibit 1, and the Yearly Rent and the additional charges (including Tax Share and Operating Expense Share) shall be apportioned as of such date. If neither party (having the right so to do) elects to terminate or if neither party has the right to terminate following any taking, appropriation or condemnation, Landlord will, with reasonable diligence and at Landlord’s expense, restore the remainder of the Premises, or the remainder of the means of access, as nearly as practicably may be to the same condition as obtained prior to such taking, appropriation or condemnation in which event (i) a just proportion of the Yearly Rent and the additional charges (including Tax Share and Operating Expense Share), according to the nature and extent of the taking, appropriation or condemnation and the resulting permanent injury to the Premises and the means of access thereto, shall be permanently abated, and (ii) a just proportion of the remainder of the Yearly Rent and the additional charges (including Tax Share and Operating Expense Share), according to the nature and extent of the taking, appropriation or condemnation and the resultant injury sustained by the Premises and the means of access thereto, shall be abated until what remains of the Premises and the means of access thereto shall have been restored as fully as may be for permanent use and occupation by Tenant hereunder. Except for any award specifically reimbursing Tenant for moving or relocation expenses or for Tenant’s personal property, there are expressly reserved to Landlord all rights to compensation and damages created, accrued or accruing by reason of any such taking, appropriation or condemnation, in implementation and in confirmation of which Tenant does hereby acknowledge that Landlord shall be entitled to receive all such compensation and damages, grant to Landlord all and whatever rights (if any) Tenant may have to such compensation and damages, and agree to execute and deliver all and whatever further instruments of assignment as Landlord may from time to time reasonably request. In the event of any taking of the Premises or any part thereof for temporary (i.e., not in excess of one (I) year) use, (i) this Lease shall be and remain unaffected thereby, and (ii) Tenant shall be entitled to receive for itself any award made to the extent allocable to the Premises in respect of such taking on account of such use, provided, that if any taking is for a period extending beyond the term of this Lease, such award shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as of the Termination Date or earlier termination of this Lease.

 

21.                               DEFAULT

 

21.1                        Conditions of Limitation - Re-entry - Termination.  This Lease and the herein term and estate are, upon the condition that if (a) subject to Article 21.7, Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the Tenant’s covenants or agreements herein, including (without limitation) the covenants or agreements with regard to the payment when due of rent, additional charges, reimbursement for increase in Landlord’s costs, or any other charge payable by Tenant to Landlord (all of which shall be considered as part of Yearly Rent for the purposes of invoking Landlord’s statutory or other rights and remedies in respect of payment defaults); or (b) Tenant shall admit in writing Tenant’s inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or (c) Tenant shall make a composition of its debts with its creditors; or (d) Tenant shall make an assignment or trust mortgage, or other conveyance or transfer of like nature, of all or a substantial part of its property for the benefit of its creditors, or (e) an attachment on mesne process, on execution or otherwise, or other legal process shall issue against Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder and a sale shall be held thereunder; or (f) any judgment, final beyond appeal secured by any lien, attachment or the like on Tenant’s leasehold interest hereunder, shall be entered, recorded or filed against Tenant in

 

30



 

any court, registry, etc. and Tenant shall fail to pay such judgment within sixty (60) days after the judgment shall have become final beyond appeal or to discharge or secure by surety bond such lien, attachment, etc. within such sixty (60) day period; or (g) the leasehold hereby created shall be taken on execution or by other process of law and shall not be revested in Tenant within sixty (60) days thereafter; or (h) a receiver, sequesterer, trustee or similar officer shall be appointed by a court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of all or substantially all of Tenant’s property and such appointment shall not be vacated within sixty (60) days; or (i) any proceeding shall be instituted by or against Tenant pursuant to any of the provisions of any Act of Congress or State law relating to bankruptcy, reorganizations, arrangements, compositions or other relief from creditors, and, in the case of any proceeding instituted against it, if Tenant shall fail to have such proceedings dismissed within sixty (60) days or if Tenant is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent as a result of any such proceeding, or (j) any event shall occur or any contingency shall arise whereby this Lease, or the term and estate thereby created, would (by operation of law or otherwise) devolve upon or pass to any person, firm or corporation other than Tenant, except as expressly permitted under Article 16 hereof (including, without limitation, provisions of Article 16 that require Landlord not to unreasonably withhold its consent to such a transfer) - then, and in any such event (except as hereinafter in Article 21.2 otherwise provided) Landlord may, by notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease; and thereupon (and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be available for arrears of rent or other charges due hereunder or preceding breach of covenant or agreement and without prejudice to Tenant’s liability for damages as hereinafter stated), upon the giving of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified therein as though that were the Termination Date as stated in Exhibit 1. Without being taken or deemed to be guilty of any manner of trespass or conversion, and without being liable to indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, Landlord may, in any manner permitted by law, enter into and upon the Premises (or any part thereof in the name of the whole); repossess the same as of its former estate; and expel Tenant and those claiming under Tenant. Wherever “Tenant “ is used in subdivisions (c), (d), (e), (1), (g), (h) and (i) of this Article 21.1, it shall be deemed to include the present guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, if any. The words “re-entry” and “re-enter” as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal meanings.

 

21.2                        Intentionally Omitted.

 

21.3                        Damages - Termination.  Upon the termination of this Lease under the provisions of this Article 21, then except as hereinabove in Article 21.2 otherwise provided, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent and other charges payable by Tenant to Landlord up to the time of such termination, shall continue to be liable for any preceding breach of covenant, and in addition, shall pay to Landlord as damages, at the election of Landlord

 

either:

 

(x)                                 the amount by which, at the time of the termination of this Lease (or at any time thereafter when Landlord shall elect damages under this subparagraph (x) if Landlord shall have initially elected damages under subparagraph (y), below) (such time, in either event, being hereinafter referred to as the “Election Date”), (i) the aggregate of the rent and other charges projected over the period commencing at such time and ending on the Termination Date as stated in Exhibit 1 exceeds (ii) the aggregate fair rental value of the Premises for such period;

 

or:

 

(y)                                 amounts equal to the rent and other charges which would have been payable by Tenant had this Lease not been so terminated, payable upon the due dates therefor specified herein following such termination and until the Termination Date as specified in Exhibit 1, provided, however, if Landlord shall re-let the Premises during such period, that Landlord shall credit Tenant with the net rents received by Landlord from such re-letting, such net rents to be determined by first deducting from the gross rents as and when received by Landlord from such re-letting the expenses incurred or paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease, as well as the expenses of re-letting, including altering and preparing the Premises for new tenants, brokers’ commissions, and all other similar and dissimilar expenses of re-letting properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental therefrom, it being understood that any such re-letting may be for a period equal to or shorter or longer than the remaining term of this Lease; and provided, further, that (i) in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess of such net rents over the sums payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder and (ii) in no event shall Tenant be entitled in any suit for the collection of damages pursuant to this Subparagraph (y) to a credit in respect of any net rents from a re-letting except to the extent that such net rents are actually received by Landlord and relate to the period of time on which such suit is based. If the Premises or any part thereof should be re-let in combination with other space, then proper apportionment on a square

 

31



 

foot area basis shall be made of the rent received from such re-letting and of the expenses of re-letting.

 

If Landlord at any time elects to recover under subparagraph (x), then Landlord may not recover any damages under subparagraph (y) with respect to any period of time after the Election Date.

 

Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after Tenant vacates the Premises in the event that the Lease is terminated based upon a default by Tenant hereunder. Marketing of Tenant’s Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlord’s control in the Building or Complex shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord’s obligation to use “reasonable efforts.” In no event shall Landlord be required to (i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises including, without limitation, the final and unappealable legal right to re-let the Premises free of any claim of Tenant, (ii) relet the Premises before leasing other vacant space in the Complex, (iii) lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rental then prevailing for similar space in the Complex, or (iv) enter into a lease with any proposed tenant that does not have, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources or operating experience to operate the Premises in a first-class manner.

 

In calculating the rent and other charges under Subparagraph (x), above, there shall be included, in addition to the Yearly Rent, Tax Share and Operating Expense Share and all other considerations agreed to be paid or performed by Tenant, on the assumption that all such amounts and considerations would have remained constant (except as herein otherwise provided) for the balance of the full term hereby granted.

 

Suit or suits for the recovery of such damages, or any installments thereof, may be brought by Landlord from time to time at its election, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Landlord to postpone suit until the date when the term of this Lease would have expired if it had not been terminated hereunder.

 

Nothing herein contained shall be construed as limiting or precluding the recovery by Landlord against Tenant of any sums or damages to which, in addition to the damages particularly provided above, Landlord may lawfully be entitled by reason of any default hereunder on the part of Tenant.

 

21.4                        Fees and Expenses.

 

(a)                                 If Tenant shall default in the performance of any covenant on Tenant’s part to be performed as in this Lease contained, and if such default continues uncured for twenty (20) days after written notice thereof is given by Landlord to Tenant (except that no prior notice shall be required in an emergency), Landlord may immediately, or at any time thereafter while such default continues uncured, without further notice, perform the same for the account of Tenant. If Landlord at any time is compelled to pay or so elects (as provided above) to pay any sum of money, or do any act which will require the payment of any sum of money, by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply with any provision hereof, or if Landlord is compelled to or does so incur (as provided above) any expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in instituting, prosecuting, and/or defending any action or proceeding instituted by reason of any default of Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall on demand pay to Landlord by way of reimbursement the sum or sums so paid by Landlord with all costs and damages, plus interest computed as provided in Article 6 hereof.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall pay Landlord’s cost and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred (i) in enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or (ii) as a result of Landlord, without its fault, being made party to any litigation pending by or against Tenant or any persons claiming through or under Tenant. Tenant shall not be obligated to make any payment to Landlord of any attorneys fees incurred by Landlord unless judgment is entered (final, and beyond appeal) in favor of Landlord in the lawsuit relating to such fees. Landlord shall, prior to incurring any such expenses pursuant to this Article 21.4(b), give Tenant at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice. Tenant shall have the right to engage counsel reasonable acceptable to Landlord to defend Landlord in any litigation referred to in clause (ii) and to settle such litigation provided that after such settlement neither Landlord nor any of its agents or employees has any liability as a result of such settlement.

 

(c)                                  Landlord shall pay, upon demand by Tenant, reasonable attorneys fees incurred by Tenant in connection with any lawsuit between Landlord and Tenant where judgment is entered (final, and beyond appeal) in favor of Tenant.

 

32


 

21.5                        Waiver of Redemption.  Tenant does hereby waive and surrender all rights and privileges which it might have under or by reason of any present or future law to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease for the term hereby demised after being dispossessed or ejected therefrom by process of law or under the terms of this Lease or after the termination of this Lease as herein provided.

 

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

 

21.7                        Grace Period.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article contained, Landlord agrees not to take any action to terminate this Lease (a) for default by Tenant in the payment when due of any sum of money, if Tenant shall cure such default within ten (10) days after written notice thereof is given by Landlord to Tenant, provided, however, that no such notice need be given and no such default in the payment of money shall be curable if on two (2) prior occasions within the prior twelve (12) month period there had been a default in the payment of money which had been cured after notice thereof had been given by Landlord to Tenant as herein provided or (b) for default by Tenant in the performance of any covenant or other provisions of this Lease other than a covenant to pay a sum of money, if Tenant shall cure such default within a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is given by Landlord to Tenant (except that where the nature of the default is such that remedial action should appropriately take place sooner, as reasonably indicated in such written notice, then such remedial action shall take place within the time period set forth in such notice, which shall not in any event be less than fifteen (15) days after such notice is given), or within such additional period 8 may reasonably be required to cure such default if (because of governmental restrictions or any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Tenant) the default is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be expected to be cured within such thirty-(30)- day period, provided, however, (I) that there shall be no extension of time beyond such thirty-(30)-day period for the curing of any such default unless, not more than ten (10) days after the receipt of the notice of default, Tenant in writing (i) shall specify the cause on account of which the default cannot be cured during such period and shall advise Landlord of its intention duly to institute all steps necessary to cure the default and (ii) shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, duly institute and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all steps necessary to cure such default and, (2) that no notice of the opportunity to cure a default need be given, and no grace period whatsoever shall be allowed to Tenant, if the default is a condition set forth in any of the following clauses: Articles 21.1(b) through (j).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 21.7 contained, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, any statutory notice and grace periods provided to Tenant by law are hereby expressly waived by Tenant in favor of the notice and grace periods set forth in this Article 21.7.

 

22.                               END OF TERM - ABANDONED PROPERTY

 

Upon the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises and all alterations and additions thereto, broom clean, in the same order, repair and condition which Tenant is required to maintain the Premises pursuant to Article 14 (except as provided herein and in Articles 8.5, 18 and 20), and excepting damage by fire or casualty for which, under other provisions of this Lease, Tenant has no responsibility of repair or restoration.  Subject to Article 12, Tenant shall remove all of its property including, without limitation, all telecommunication, computer and other cabling, installed by Tenant in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building, and, to the extent specified by Landlord at the time that Landlord approves Tenant’s plans for the same, all alterations and additions made by Tenant within the Premises, and shall repair any damages to the Premises or the Building caused by their installation or by such removal. Tenant’s obligation to observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other termination of the term of this Lease.  If the cost to remove the telecommunication, computer and other cabling installed by Tenant in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building exceeds $0.15 per rentable square feet of the Premises then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant (after presentation of an invoice confirming such cost) the amount of such overage within thirty (30) days after written request therefor.  The contractor and bid selected by Tenant to perform such removal work shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

Tenant will remove any personal property from the Building and the Premises upon or prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease and any such property which shall remain in the Building or the Premises thereafter shall be conclusively deemed to have been 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,

 

33



 

that Landlord may receive and retain 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 Yearly Rent, additional or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under Article 21 hereof or pursuant to law and the balance, if any, shall be paid to Tenant.

 

If Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises or any part thereof after the expiration or prior termination of the term of this Lease without any agreement in writing between Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto, then, prior to the acceptance of any payments for rent or use and occupancy by Landlord, the person remaining in possession shall be deemed a tenant-at-sufferance. Whereas the parties hereby acknowledge that Landlord may need the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the term of the Lease for other tenants and that the damages which Landlord may suffer as the result of Tenant’s holding-over cannot be determined as of the Execution Date hereof, in the event that Tenant so holds over, Tenant shall pay to Landlord in addition to all rental and other charges due and accrued under the Lease prior to the date of termination, charges (based upon fair market rental value of the Premises) for use and occupation of the Premises thereafter and, in addition to such sums and any and all other rights and remedies which Landlord may have at law or in equity, an additional use and occupancy charge in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of either the Yearly Rent and other charges calculated (on a daily basis) at the highest rate payable under the terms of this Lease, but measured from the day on which Tenant’s hold-over commenced and terminating on the day on which Tenant vacates the Premises or the fair market value of the Premises for such period, whichever is greater. 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 for a period of more than thirty (30) days after the expiration or prior termination of the term of the Lease.

 

23.                               SUBORDINATION

 

(a)                                 Subject to any mortgagee’s or ground lessor’s election, as hereinafter provided for, this Lease is subject and subordinate in all respects to: (i) all matters of record (including, without limitation, deeds and land disposition agreements), ground leases and/or underlying leases, and all mortgages, any of which now affect the real property of which the Premises are a part, or any part of such real property, and/or Landlord’s interest or estate therein, and (ii) all ground and/or underlying leases and all mortgages which may in the future affect the real property of which the Premises are a part, or any part of such real property, and/or Landlord’s interest or estate therein, and (with respect to any such existing or future mortgage) to each advance made and/or hereafter to be made under any such mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and all substitutions therefor. This Article 23 shall be self-operative and no further instrument or subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver promptly any certificate or instrument that Landlord and/or any mortgagee and/or lessor under any ground or underlying lease and/or their respective successors in interest may reasonably request to effectuate such subordination, subject to Landlord’s, mortgagee’s and ground lessor’s right to do so for, on behalf and in the name of Tenant under certain circumstances, as hereinafter provided. Tenant acknowledges that, where applicable, any amendment to this Lease approved hereafter by Landlord may be subject to the further consent or approval of such mortgagee and/or ground lessor; and the failure or refusal of such mortgagee and/or ground lessor to give such consent or approval shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease contained, constitute reasonable justification for Landlord’s withholding its approval of such amendment.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 23 contained, as to any future mortgages, ground leases, and/or underlying lease or deeds of trust, the herein provided subordination and attornment shall be effective only if the mortgagee, ground lessor or trustee therein, as the case may be, agrees, by a written instrument in recordable form and in the customary form of such mortgagee, ground lessor, or trustee, with such commercially reasonable changes as Tenant may request (“Nondisturbance Agreement”) that, as long as Tenant shall not be in terminable default of the obligations on its part to be kept and performed under the terms of this Lease, this Lease will not be affected and Tenant’s possession hereunder will not be disturbed by any default in, termination, and/or foreclosure of, such mortgage, ground lease, and/or underlying lease or deed of trust, as the case may be. Landlord shall cause the holder of the current mortgage affecting the Complex to enter into a Nondisturbance Agreement with Tenant.

 

(c)                                  Any such mortgagee or ground lessor may from time to time subordinate or revoke any such

 

34



 

subordination of the mortgage or ground lease held by it to this Lease. Such subordination or revocation, as the case may be, shall be effected by written notice to Tenant and by recording an instrument of subordination or of such revocation, as the case may be, with the appropriate registry of deeds or land records and to be effective without any further act or deed on the part of Tenant. In confirmation of such subordination or of such revocation, as the case may be, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and promptly deliver any certificate or instrument that Landlord, any mortgagee or ground lessor may reasonably request to effectuate such subordination or such revocation, subject to Landlord’s, mortgagee’s and ground lessor’s right to do so for, on behalf and in the name of Tenant under certain circumstances, as hereinafter provided.

 

(d)                                 Without limitation of any of the provisions of this Lease, if any ground lessor or mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord by reason of the exercise of its rights under such ground lease or mortgage (or the acceptance of voluntary conveyance in lieu thereof) or any third party (including, without limitation, any foreclosure purchaser or mortgage receiver) shall succeed to such interest by reason of any such exercise or the expiration or sooner termination of such ground lease, however caused, then such successor may, upon notice and request to Tenant (which, in the case of a ground lease, shall be within thirty (30) days after such expiration or sooner termination), succeed to the interest of Landlord under this Lease, subject to such commercially reasonable limitations of liability as the holder of such ground lease or mortgage may require in the Nondisturbance Agreement. In the event of such succession to the interest of the Landlord — and notwithstanding that any such mortgage or ground lease may antedate this Lease — the Tenant shall attorn to such successor and shall ipso facto be and become bound directly to such successor in interest to Landlord to perform and observe all the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease without the necessity of the execution of any further instrument. Nevertheless, Tenant agrees at any time and from time to time during the term hereof to execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of Tenant’s agreement to attorn, as aforesaid, subject to Landlord’s, mortgagee’s and ground lessor’s right to do so for, on behalf and in the name of Tenant under certain circumstances, as hereinafter provided.

 

(e)                                  The term “mortgage(s)” as used in this Lease shall include any mortgage or deed of trust. The term mortgagee(s)” as used in this Lease shall include any mortgagee or any trustee and beneficiary under a deed of trust or receiver appointed under a mortgage or deed of trust. The term “mortgagor(s)” as used in this Lease shall include any mortgagor or any grantor under a deed of trust.

 

(f)                                   Tenant hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord or any such mortgagee or ground lessor, and their respective successors in interest, acting singly, Tenant’s attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver any such certificate or instrument for, on behalf and in the name of Tenant, but only if Tenant fails to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such certificate or instrument in the following circumstances:

 

(i)                                     Landlord, such mortgagee, or ground lessor (“Requesting Party”) shall have given Tenant a written request (“First Request”) therefore, stating that if Tenant does not timely execute and deliver such certificate or instrument, the Requesting Party may act as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact in accordance with this Article 23(e), together with a Nondisturbance Agreement, as defined in Article 23(a), executed on behalf of the mortgagee, ground lessor, or trustee in question;

 

(ii)                                  Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver such certificate or instrument within ten (10) days of the First Request;

 

(iii)                               The Requesting Party shall, after the expiration of such ten (10) day period, have given Tenant another request (“Second Request”) therefor, stating that Tenant has failed timely to respond to the First Request for such certificate or instrument and that if Tenant does not execute and deliver such certificate or instrument within ten (10) days of the Second Request, the Requesting Party may act as Tenant’s attorney-in-fact in accordance with this Article 23(e); and

 

(iv)                              Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver such certificate or instrument within ten (10) days of the Second Request.

 

(g)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 23, if all or part of Landlord’s estate and interest in the real property of which the Premises are a part shall be a leasehold estate held under a ground lease, then: (i) the foregoing subordination provisions of this Article 23 shall not apply to any mortgages of the fee interest in said real property to which Landlord’s leasehold estate is not otherwise subject and subordinate;

 

35



 

and (ii) the provisions of this Article 23 shall in no way waive, abrogate or otherwise affect any agreement by any ground lessor (x) not to terminate this Lease incident to any termination of such ground lease prior to its term expiring or (y) not to name or join Tenant in any action or proceeding by such ground lessor to recover possession of such real property or for any other relief.

 

(h)                                 In the event of any failure by Landlord to perform, fulfill or observe any agreement by Landlord herein, in no event will the Landlord be deemed to be in default under this Lease permitting Tenant to exercise any or all rights or remedies under this Lease until the Tenant shall have given written notice of such failure to any mortgagee (ground lessor and/or trustee) of which Tenant shall have been advised in writing and, with respect to any right which Tenant has to terminate the Lease, until a reasonable period of time shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice, during which such mortgagee (ground lessor and/or trustee) shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to remedy such failure.

 

24.                               QUIET ENJOYMENT

 

Landlord covenants that if, and so long as, Tenant keeps and performs each and every covenant, agreement, term, provision and condition herein contained on the part and on behalf of Tenant to be kept and performed, Tenant shall quietly enjoy the Premises from and against the claims of all persons claiming by, through or under Landlord or superior title to Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease.

 

Without incurring any liability to Tenant, Landlord may permit access to the Premises and open the same, after reasonable notice to Tenant, except that no notice shall be required in an emergency, whether or not Tenant shall be present, upon any demand of any receiver of Tenant’s estate, trustee of Tenant’s estate, assignee for the benefit of creditors of Tenant, sheriff, marshal or court officer entitled to, or reasonably purporting to be entitled to, such access for the purpose of taking possession of, or removing, Tenant’s property or for any other lawful purpose (but this provision and any action by Landlord hereunder shall not be deemed a recognition by Landlord that the person or official making such demand has any right or interest in or to this Lease, or in or to the Premises), or, · again after reasonable notice to Tenant, except that no notice shall be required in an emergency, upon demand of any representative of the fire, police, building, sanitation or other department of the city, state or federal governments.

 

25.                               ENTIRE AGREEMENT — WAIVER — SURRENDER

 

25.1                        Entire Agreement.  This Lease and the Exhibits made a part hereof contain the entire and only agreement between the parties and any and all statements and representations, written and oral, including previous correspondence and agreements between the parties hereto, are merged herein. Tenant acknowledges that all representations and statements upon which it relied in executing this Lease are contained herein and that the Tenant in no way relied upon any other statements or representations, written or oral. Any executory agreement hereafter made shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of this Lease in whole or in part unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or abandonment is sought.

 

25.2                        Waiver.  The failure of either party to seek redress for violation, or to insist upon the strict performance, of any covenant or condition of this Lease, or any of the Rules and Regulations promulgated hereunder, shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. The failure of Landlord to enforce any of such Rules and Regulations against Tenant and/or any other tenant in the Building shall not be deemed a waiver of any such Rules and Regulations. No provisions of this Lease shall be deemed to have been waived by either party unless such waiver be in writing signed by such party. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided.

 

25.3                        Surrender.  No act or thing done by Landlord during the term hereby demised shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid, unless in

 

36



 

writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease. 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. In the event that Tenant at any time desires to have Landlord underlet the Premises for Tenant’s account, Landlord or Landlord’s agents are authorized to receive the keys for such purposes without releasing Tenant from any of the obligations under this Lease, and Tenant hereby relieves Landlord of any liability for loss of or damage to any of Tenant’s effects in connection with such underletting unless, subject to Article 19, caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents or contractors (including subcontractors).

 

26.                               INABILITY TO PERFORM - EXCULPATORY CLAUSE

 

(a)                                 Except as provided in Article 4.1 and 4.2 hereof, this Lease and the obligations of Tenant to pay rent hereunder and perform all the other covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions hereunder on the part of Tenant to be performed shall in no way be affected, impaired or excused because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this Lease or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any service expressly or impliedly to be supplied or is unable to make or is delayed in making any repairs, replacements, additions, alterations, improvements or decorations or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any equipment or fixtures if Landlord is prevented or delayed from so doing by reason of strikes or labor troubles or any other similar or dissimilar cause whatsoever beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, including but not limited to, governmental preemption in connection with a national emergency or by reason of any rule, order or regulation of any department or subdivision thereof of any governmental agency or by reason of the conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war, hostilities or other similar or dissimilar emergency. In each such instance of inability of Landlord to perform, Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause of such inability to perform.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim against Landlord, or Landlord’s agents or employees, or the assets of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents or employees, for breach of this Lease or otherwise, other than against Landlord’s interest in the Complex of which the Premises are a part and in the uncollected rents, issues and profits thereof, 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 in no event shall Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees (or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other principals or representatives, and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) 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 to take any other action which shall not involve the personal liability of Landlord to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s assets other than the Landlord’s interest in said real estate, as aforesaid. In no event shall Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees (or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other principals or representatives and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever be liable for consequential or incidental damages. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord or Landlord’s agents or employees (or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other principals or representatives and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever be liable for lost profits of Tenant. If by reason of Landlord’s failure to acquire title to the real property of which the Premises are a part, Landlord shall be held to be in breach of this Lease, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be a right to terminate this Lease.

 

(c)                                  Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations under the Lease unless Tenant has given Landlord written notice of such default, and Landlord has failed to cure such default within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives such notice or such longer period of time as Landlord may reasonably require to cure such default. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate the Lease nor shall Tenant’s obligation to pay Yearly Rent or other charges under this Lease abate based upon any default by Landlord of its obligations under the Lease.

 

(d)                                 Except with respect to any liability which Tenant has to Landlord based upon any breach by Tenant of its obligations under Article 22: (i) in no event shall Tenant or Tenant’s agents or employees (or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other principals or

 

37



 

representatives and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever be liable for consequential or incidental damages, and (ii) in no event shall Tenant or Tenant’s agents or employees (or any of the officers, trustees, directors, partners, beneficiaries, joint venturers, members, stockholders or other principals or representatives and the like, disclosed or undisclosed, thereof) ever be liable for lost profits of Landlord.

 

27.                               BILLS AND NOTICES

 

Any notice, consent, request, bill, demand or statement hereunder by either party to the other party shall be in writing and, if received at Landlord’s or Tenant’s address shall be deemed to have been duly given when either delivered or served personally or mailed in a postpaid envelope, deposited in the United States mail addressed to Landlord at its address as stated in Exhibit 1 and to Tenant at the Premises (or at Tenant’s address as stated in Exhibit 1, if mailed prior to Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises), or if any address for notices shall have been duly changed as hereinafter provided, if mailed as aforesaid to the party at such changed address. Either party may at any time change the address or specify an additional address for such notices, consents, requests, bills, demands or statements by delivering or mailing, as aforesaid, to the other party a notice stating the change and setting forth the changed or additional address, provided such changed or additional address is within the United States.

 

If Tenant is a partnership, Tenant, for itself, and on behalf of all of its partners, hereby appoints Tenant’s Service Partner, as identified on Exhibit 1, to accept service of any notice, consent, request, bill, demand or statement hereunder by Landlord and any service of process in any judicial proceeding with respect to this Lease on behalf of Tenant and as agent and attorney-in-fact for each partner of Tenant.

 

All bills and statements for reimbursement or other payments or charges due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall be due and payable in full twenty (20) business days, unless herein otherwise provided, after submission thereof by Landlord to Tenant. Tenant’s failure to make timely payment of any amounts indicated by such bills and statements, whether for work done by Landlord at Tenant’s request, reimbursement provided for by this Lease or for any other sums properly owing by Tenant to Landlord, shall be treated as a default in the payment of rent, in which event Landlord shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Lease for the nonpayment of rent, subject to applicable notice and cure provisions.

 

28.                               PARTIES BOUND — SEIZIN OF TITLE

 

The covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease shall bind and benefit the successors and assigns of the parties hereto with the same effect as if mentioned in each instance where a party hereto is named or referred to, except that no violation of the provisions of Article 16 hereof shall operate to vest any rights in any successor or assignee of Tenant and that the provisions of this Article 28 shall not be construed as modifying the conditions of limitation contained in Article 21 hereof.

 

If, in connection with or as a consequence of the sale, transfer or other disposition of the real estate (land and/or Building, either or both, as the case may be) of which the Premises are a part, Landlord ceases to be the owner of the reversionary interest in the Premises, Landlord shall be entirely freed and relieved from the performance and observance thereafter of all covenants and obligations hereunder on the part of Landlord to be thereafter performed and observed, it being understood and agreed in such event (and it shall be deemed and construed as a covenant running with the land) that the person succeeding to Landlord’s ownership of said reversionary interest shall thereupon and thereafter assume, and perform and observe, any and all of such covenants and obligations of Landlord.

(a)                                 that the execution thereof by Landlord and the acceptance thereof by such mortgagee and/or ground lessor shall never be deemed an assumption by such mortgagee and/or ground lessor of any of the obligations of the Landlord thereunder, unless such mortgagee and/or ground lessor shall, by written notice sent to the Tenant, specifically otherwise elect; and

 

(b)                                 that, except as aforesaid, such mortgagee and/or ground lessor shall be treated as having assumed the Landlord’s obligations thereunder only upon foreclosure of such mortgagee’s mortgage or deed of trust (or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure) or termination of such ground lessor’s ground lease or the taking of possession of the Premises for the purposes of foreclosure after having given notice of its exercise of the option stated in Article 23 hereof to succeed to the interest of the Landlord under this Lease.

29.11                 Hazardous Materials.  Landlord and Tenant agree as follows with respect to the existence or use of “Hazardous Material” in or on the Premises.

 

(a)                                 Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply with all laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations of any local, state or federal governmental authority having jurisdiction concerning environmental, health and safety matters (collectively, “Environmental Laws”), including, but not limited to, any discharge by Tenant or anyone for whom Tenant is legally responsible into the air, surface, water, sewers, soil or groundwater of any Hazardous Material (as defined in Article 29.11(c)), whether within or outside the Premises within the Complex. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Lease requires, or shall be construed to require, Tenant to incur any liability related to or arising from environmental conditions (i) for which the Landlord is responsible pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or (ii) which existed within the Premises or the Complex prior to the date Tenant took (in the case of the Existing Lab/Office Premises, Basement Premises and Storage Space) or takes (in the case of the Expansion Space) possession of the Premises.

 

(b)                                 Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept or used in or about the Premises or otherwise in the Complex by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, without the prior written consent of Landlord, except for Hazardous Materials which are typically used in the operation of offices or laboratories and those Hazardous Materials identified on Exhibit 7, provided that such materials are stored, used and disposed of in strict compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and with good scientific and medical practice.  Landlord and Tenant agree that a certain number of control areas on each floor of the Premises have been allocated for use by Tenant for the storage of specified amounts of specified categories of Hazardous Materials as expressly designated on Exhibit 7A in the columns entitled “Merrimack Control Areas” and “Merrimack Allowance”.  Tenant shall not exceed the storage amounts set forth in said Exhibit 7A that are allocated to Tenant.  Tenant acknowledges that in order to accommodate Tenant’s needs as of the Execution Date, Landlord has allocated to Tenant storage capacity on the first (1st) floor of the Building based upon an additional 5,000 rentable square feet of premises than that leased by Tenant hereunder as of the Execution Date.  Accordingly, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that in the event Tenant and Landlord, at some point after the date of this Lease, agree to expand the Premises demised to Tenant on the first (1st) floor of the Building, the storage amounts allocable to Tenant for the 1st floor as set forth in Exhibit 7A will not change if the additionally demised space is not greater than 5,000 rentable square feet.  If the additionally demised space is greater than 5,000 rentable square feet then Tenant’s storage capacity as set forth on Exhibit 7A for the 1st floor will increase proportionately based upon a percentage determined by dividing Tenant’s additionally demised laboratory space in excess of 5,000 rentable square feet by the rentable square feet of all laboratory space on the first (1st) floor.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any of Tenant’s Hazardous Material which Tenant does not properly handle, store or dispose of in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and good scientific and medical practice, Tenant shall, upon written notice from Landlord, no longer have the right to bring such material into the buildings or the Complex until Tenant has demonstrated, to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction, that Tenant has implemented programs to thereafter properly handle, store or dispose of such material.

 

(c)                                  As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” means any hazardous or toxic substance, material

 

40



 

or waste or petroleum derivative which is or becomes regulated by any Environmental Law, specifically including live organisms, viruses and fungi, medical waste, and so-called “biohazard” materials. The term “Hazardous Material” includes, without limitation, any material or substance which is (i) designated as a “hazardous substance” pursuant to Section 1311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. Section 1317), (ii) defined as a “hazardous waste” pursuant to Section 1004 of the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et seq. (42 U.S.C. Section 6903), (iii) defined as a “hazardous substance” pursuant to Section 101 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq. (42 U.S.C. Section 9601), (iv) defined as “hazardous substance” or “oil” under Chapter 2IE of the General Laws of Massachusetts, or (v) a so-called “biohazard” or medical waste, or is contaminated with blood or other bodily fluids; and “Environmental Laws” include, without limitation, the laws listed in the preceding clauses (i) through (iv).

 

(d)                                 Any increase in the premium for necessary insurance on the Premises or the Complex which arises from Tenant’s use and/or storage of these Hazardous Materials shall be solely at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall procure and maintain at its sole expense such additional insurance as may be necessary to comply with any requirement of any Federal, State or local government agency with jurisdiction as to Tenant’s operations at the Premises. Landlord hereby agrees that Tenant shall not be charged with any increase in insurance premiums based upon its use, in the Premises of the Hazardous Materials listed on Exhibit 7, so long as Tenant handles, stores, transports and disposes of the same in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws.

 

(e)                                  Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, liabilities or losses (collectively “Losses”) which Landlord may reasonably incur arising out of contamination of real estate, the Complex or other property not a part of the Premises, which contamination arises as a result of: (i) the presence of Hazardous Material in the Premises, the presence of which commences during the term of the Lease or, with respect only to the Existing Lab/Office Premises, Basement Premises and Storage Space, the term of the Prior Lease or any period of time when Tenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant occupies the Premises is caused or knowingly permitted by Tenant, or (ii) from a breach by Tenant of its obligations under this Article 29.11. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, reasonable costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision because of Hazardous Material present in the soil or ground water on or under the Premises based upon the circumstances identified in the first sentence of this Article 29.11(e). The indemnification and hold harmless obligations of Tenant under this Article 29.11(e) shall survive any termination of this Lease with respect to any act or omission which occurs during the term of this Lease or any period of time during which Tenant, or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant continues to occupy the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Material in the buildings or otherwise in the Complex caused or knowingly permitted by Tenant results in any contamination of the Premises, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Premises to a condition which complies with all Environmental Laws; provided that Landlord’s approval of such actions shall first be obtained, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld so long as such actions, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, would not potentially have any materially adverse long-term or short-term effect on the Premises, and, in any event, Landlord shall not withhold its approval of any proposed actions which are required by applicable Environmental Laws.

 

(f)                                   On or before the date that Tenant, and anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, vacates the Premises, and immediately prior to the time that Tenant delivers the Premises to Landlord, Tenant shall:

 

1.                                      Cause the Premises to be decommissioned in accordance with the regulations of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and/or the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for the control of radiation, cause the Premises to be released for unrestricted use by the Radiation Control Program of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for the control of radiation, and deliver to Landlord the report of a certified industrial hygienist stating that he or she has examined the Premises and found no evidence that such portion contains Hazardous Materials, as defined in this Article 29.11, or is otherwise in violation of any Environmental Law, as defined in this Article 29.11 hereof

 

2.                                      Provide to Landlord a copy of its most current chemical waste removal manifest and a certification from Tenant executed by an officer of Tenant that no Hazardous Materials or other potentially dangerous or harmful chemicals brought onto the Premises from and after the date that

 

41



 

Tenant first took occupancy of the Premises remain in the Premises.

 

(g)                                  Landlord represents and warrants that, except as set forth in the Environmental Assessment Report referenced on Exhibit 12 attached hereto, Landlord is unaware of the existence of any Hazardous Material on the land or in the Building, including its interior, systems or structure (collectively, the “Property”) which is in violation of applicable Environmental Laws (Tenant acknowledging that a portion of the Building and Complex are leased to tenants who use their premises for laboratory purposes).  Landlord shall indemnify Tenant and hold it harmless against any claims, damages, losses or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in this Article 29.11(g) and from claims, damages, losses or liabilities arising in the event that Landlord, Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors release Hazardous Materials onto the Complex.

 

(h)                                 If any Hazardous Materials are discovered on the Property which are in violation of Environmental Law, then so long as Tenant is not responsible for the same in accordance with this Article 29.11, Landlord shall cause the same to be removed or remediated when, if, and in the manner required by applicable Environmental Law. Landlord may, if allowed by the provisions of Article 9.1(0, include the costs so incurred by Landlord in Operating Costs.

29.13                 Security Deposit.  A. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord is unwilling to execute the Lease unless Tenant provides Landlord with additional security for Tenant’s obligations under the Lease. Therefore, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, on the date that Tenant executes and delivers the Lease to Landlord, an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit (“Letter of Credit”) which shall be (1) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5, (2) issued by a bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord with minimum assets of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000 00), upon which presentment may be made in Boston, Massachusetts (3) in an amount equal to Five Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand One Hundred and Thirty and 84/100 ($528,130.84) Dollars and (4) for a term of one (1) year, subject to extension in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby expressly approves Cambridge Savings Bank as an issuer of the Letter of Credit.  Tenant shall, on or before the date thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term of such Letter of Credit, deliver to Landlord a new Letter of Credit satisfying the foregoing conditions (“Substitute Letter of Credit”) in lieu of the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord.

Tenant agrees that it shall from time to time, as necessary, whether as a result of a draw on the Letter of Credit by Landlord pursuant to the terms hereof or as a result of the expiration of the Letter of Credit then in effect, renew or replace the original and any subsequent Letter of Credit so that a Letter of Credit, in the amount required hereunder, is in effect until a date which is at least sixty (60) days after the Termination Date of the Lease. If Tenant fails to furnish such renewal or replacement at least thirty (30) days prior to the stated expiration date of the Letter of Credit then held by Landlord, Landlord may draw upon such Letter of Credit and hold the proceeds thereof (and such proceeds need not be segregated) as a Security Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Article 29.13.

 

B.                                    In the event that Tenant is in default of its obligations under the Lease, which default continues beyond the applicable notice and cure period set forth in Article 21.7, then the Landlord shall have the right, at any time after such event, without giving any further notice to Tenant, to draw down from said Letter of Credit (Substitute Letter of Credit or Additional Letter of Credit, as defined below, as the case may be) (a) the amount necessary to cure such default or (b) if such default cannot reasonably be cured by the expenditure of money, the amount which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, is necessary to satisfy Tenant’s liability on account thereof. In the event of any such draw by the Landlord, Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) business days of written demand therefor, deliver to Landlord an additional Letter of Credit satisfying the foregoing conditions (“Additional Letter of Credit”), except that the amount of such Additional Letter of Credit shall be the amount of such draw. In addition, in the event of a termination of this Lease based upon the default of Tenant under the Lease, or a rejection of the Lease pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code (in connection with Tenant’s bankruptcy), Landlord shall have the right to draw upon the Letter of Credit (from time to time, if necessary) to cover the full amount of damages and other amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under the Lease. Any amounts so drawn shall, at Landlord’s election, be applied first to any unpaid rent and other charges which were due prior to the filing of the petition for protection under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Tenant hereby covenants and agrees not to oppose, contest or otherwise interfere with any attempt by Landlord to draw down from said Letter of Credit including, without limitation, by commencing an action seeking to enjoin or restrain Landlord from drawing upon said Letter of Credit. Tenant also hereby expressly waives any right or claim it may have to seek such equitable relief in such an instance. In addition to whatever other rights and remedies it may have against Tenant if Tenant breaches its obligations under this paragraph, Tenant hereby acknowledges that it shall be liable for any and all damages which Landlord may suffer as a result of any such breach.

 

C.                                    Upon request of Landlord or any (prospective) purchaser or mortgagee of the Building, Tenant shall, at its expense, cooperate with Landlord in obtaining an amendment to or replacement of any Letter of Credit which Landlord is then holding so that the amended or new Letter of Credit reflects the name of the new owner of the Building.

 

D.                                    To the extent that Landlord has not previously drawn upon any Letter of Credit, Substitute Letter of Credit, Additional Letter of Credit or security deposit proceeds (collectively “Collateral”) held by the Landlord, and to the extent that Tenant is not otherwise in default of its obligations under the Lease as of the termination date of the Lease, Landlord shall return such Collateral to Tenant on the termination of the term of the Lease.

 

43



 

E.                                     In no event shall the proceeds of any Letter of Credit be deemed to be a prepayment of rent nor shall it be considered as a measure of liquidated damages.

 

29.14                 Tenant’s Option to Extend the Term of the Lease.

 

A.                                    Provided Tenant is not in default of any of its obligations under the Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure periods, and that Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc., itself and/or any Permitted Transferees (as defined in Article 16 of this Lease) are occupying at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Total Rentable Area of the Premises then demised to Tenant, both at the time of the option exercise and at the time of commencement of the herein described extended term, Tenant shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease with respect to the entire Premises for either (a) one (1) additional five (5) year term by giving Landlord written notice no later than March 31, 2018 (the “Extension A Option”) or (b) one (1) additional one (1) year term by giving Landlord written notice no later than December 31, 2016 (the Extension B Option”)(each such notice being an “Extension Notice”).   Upon the timely giving of such Extension Notice, the term of this Lease shall be deemed extended upon all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Landlord shall have no obligation to construct or renovate the Premises or to provide any improvement allowances and that the Yearly Rent during such additional term shall be as hereinafter set forth. If Tenant fails to give timely notice, as aforesaid, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the term of this Lease, time being of the essence of this Article 29.14.

 

B.                                    Yearly Rent

 

The Yearly Rent during the additional term shall be based upon the Fair Market Rental Value, as defined in Article 29.15 hereof, as of the commencement of the additional term, of the Premises then demised to Tenant.  Landlord shall upon written request from Tenant, made on or after January 1, 2018, in the case of the Extension A Option, and on or after October 1, 2016, in the case of the Extension B Option, advise Tenant of Landlord’s offer (“Landlord’s Offer”) as to the Yearly Rent which will be payable by Tenant during the additional term within fifteen (15) business days after Landlord receives such request from Tenant. If Tenant timely exercises its extension option, but Tenant does not accept Landlord’s Offer in writing either in the Extension Notice or otherwise, then Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected Landlord’s Offer. If Tenant timely exercises its extension option and Tenant either objects to Landlord’s Offer, or Tenant is deemed to have objected to Landlord’s Offer as aforesaid, then the term of the Lease shall be deemed extended, as aforesaid, the provisions of Article 29.15 shall apply to the determination of Fair Market Rental Value with Tenant submitting such Fair Market Rental Value determination to arbitrate as set forth in Article 29.15, and Landlord’s Offer shall be deemed to be non-binding and without any force or effect.  In the event Tenant exercises Extension B Option, in no event shall Yearly Rent be less than the Yearly Rent payable immediately prior to the commencement of the additional term.

 

C.                                    Tenant shall have no further option to extend the term of the Lease other than the Extension A Option or Extension B Option provided in this Article 29.14.

 

D.                                    Notwithstanding the fact that upon Tenant’s exercise of the herein option to extend the term of the Lease such extension shall be self-executing, as aforesaid, the parties shall promptly execute a lease amendment reflecting such additional term after Tenant exercises the herein option, except that the Yearly Rent payable in respect of such additional term may not be set forth in said amendment. Subsequently, after such Yearly Rent is determined, the parties shall execute a written agreement confirming the same. The execution of such lease amendment shall not be deemed to waive any of the conditions to Tenant’s exercise of its rights under this Article 29.14, unless otherwise specifically provided in such lease amendment.

 

29.15                 Definition of Fair Market Rental Value.

 

A.                                    “Fair Market Rental Value” shall be computed as of the date in question based upon the then current annual rental charge (i.e., the sum of Yearly Rent plus escalation and other charges), including provisions for subsequent increases and other adjustments for leases or agreements to lease then currently being negotiated, or executed for comparable space located in the Building and in comparable first-class office and laboratory buildings located in Kendall Square/East Cambridge, Massachusetts. In determining Fair Market Rental Value, the following factors, among others, shall be taken into account and given effect: the charges payable under this Lease (including Tax Share and Operating Expense Share), the construction allowances (or the Landlord’s buildout expense) in leases then currently being negotiated or executed for comparable space (and the absence of any construction allowance or

 

44



 

landlord’s buildout expense in connection with the extension of the Lease), free rent or other concessions in leases then currently being negotiated or executed for comparable space, size of premises, location of premises, lease term, condition of building, the condition of the premises and services provided by the Landlord.

 

B.                                    Dispute as to Fair Market Rental Value

 

Landlord shall initially designate Fair Market Rental Value and Landlord shall furnish data in support of such designation (the parties hereby acknowledging that Landlord’s Offer shall not be considered to be Landlord’s designation of Fair Market Rental Value for the purposes of this Article 29.15B). If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s designation of a Fair Market Rental Value, Tenant shall have the right, by written notice given within thirty (30) days after Tenant has been notified of Landlord’s designation, to submit such Fair Market Rental Value to arbitration. Fair Market Rental Value shall be submitted to arbitration as follows: Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by impartial arbitrators, one to be chosen by the Landlord, one to be chosen by Tenant, and a third to be selected, if necessary, as below provided. The unanimous written decision of the two first chosen, without selection and participation of a third arbitrator, or otherwise, the written decision of a majority of three arbitrators chosen and selected as aforesaid, shall be conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no two arbitrators agree upon the same Fair Market Rental Value, then the Fair Market Rental Value shall be the average of the closest Fair Market Rental Values determined by arbitrators, but if the three are equidistant, the middle one shall be used. Landlord and Tenant shall each notify the other of its chosen arbitrator within ten (10) days following the call for arbitration and, unless such two arbitrators shall have reached a unanimous decision within thirty (30) days after their designation, they shall so notify the President of the Boston Bar Association (or such organization as may succeed to said Boston Bar Association) and request him to select an impartial third arbitrator. Each arbitrator shall be a real estate broker or real estate appraiser with at least ten year’s experience in dealing with laboratory and office properties in the Cambridge market, who is qualified to determine Fair Market Rental Value as herein defined. Such third arbitrator and the first two chosen shall, subject to commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association, hear the parties and their evidence and render their decision within thirty (30) days following the conclusion of such hearing and notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. Landlord and Tenant shall bear the expense of the third arbitrator (if any) equally. The decision of the arbitrators shall be binding and conclusive, and judgment upon the award or decision of the arbitrator may be entered in the appropriate court of law (as identified on Exhibit 1); and the parties consent to the jurisdiction of such court and further agree that any process or notice of motion or other application to the Court or a Judge thereof may be served outside the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by registered mail or by personal service, provided a reasonable time for appearance is allowed. If the dispute between the parties as to a Fair Market Rental Value has not been resolved before the commencement of Tenant’s obligation to pay rent based upon such Fair Market Rental Value, then Tenant shall pay Yearly Rent and other charges under the Lease in respect of the premises in question based upon the Fair Market Rental Value designated by Landlord until either the agreement of the parties as to the Fair Market Rental Value, or the decision of the arbitrators, as the case may be, at which time Tenant shall pay any underpayment of rent and other charges to Landlord, or Landlord shall refund any overpayment of rent and other charges to Tenant.

 

29.16                 Tenant’s Right of First Offer.  On the conditions (which conditions Landlord may waive, at its election, by written notice to Tenant at any time) that: (i) Tenant is not in default of its covenants and obligations under the Lease beyond the applicable notice and cure period, (ii) the Lease is then in full force and effect, and (iii) Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc., itself and/or one (1) or more Permitted Transferees are occupying at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Total Rentable Area of the Premises then demised to Tenant, both at the time that Landlord is required to give Landlord’s Notice, as hereinafter defined, and as of the Term Commencement Date in respect of the RFO Premises, Tenant shall have the following continuous right to lease each RFO Premises, as hereinafter defined, when such RFO Premises become available for lease to Tenant, as hereinafter defined.

 

A.                                     Definition of RFO Premises

 

“RFO Premises” shall be defined as any separately demised area in Building 600/650/700 and Building 200, when such area becomes available for lease, as hereinafter defined. For the purposes of this Article 29.16, an RFO Premises shall be deemed to be “available for lease to Tenant” if, during the term of this Lease (including any extension thereof), Landlord, in its sole judgment, determines that such area will become available for leasing to the general public (i.e. when Landlord determines that: (i) the then current tenant of such RFO Premises will vacate such RFO Premises, (ii) all Superior Rights, as hereinafter defined, in such area have either been irrevocably waived

 

45



 

or have lapsed unexercised, and when Landlord intends to offer such area for lease).  Landlord shall not be required to provide a Landlord’s Notice with regard to any RFO Premises that are “available for lease to Tenant” as of the Execution Date of this Lease until such time as such spaces are subsequently leased and thereafter become “available for lease to Tenant”.

 

B.                                     Definition of Superior Rights

 

Tenant’s rights under this Article 29.16 are subject to and subordinate to: (i) all rights of extension, renewal, expansion, first offer, and first refusal which exist as of the Execution Date of the Lease and Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the tenants with existing rights of expansion, first offer and right of first refusal are as set forth on Exhibit 14 attached hereto, and (ii) Landlord’s right to enter into an agreement with a tenant of any RFO Premises for the purposes of renewing or extending such tenant’s lease, even if such tenant does not possess such rights in its lease.

 

C.                                    Exercise of Right to Lease RFO Premises

 

Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (“Landlord’s Notice”) at the time that Landlord determines, as aforesaid, that an RFO Premises will become available for lease and that all Superior Rights in such RFO Premises, if any, have lapsed unexercised or have been irrevocably waived. Landlord’s Notice shall set forth the exact location of the RFO Premises and the fair market terms and conditions upon which Landlord is willing to lease such RFO Premises (collectively, the “Fair Market Terms and Conditions”), which shall include, without limitation and in each case as may be applicable, Landlord’s designation of the Fair Market Rental Value (as defined in Article 29.15 hereof) applicable to the RFO Premises, the terms regarding any free rent period(s) and other concessions, tenant improvement or construction allowances, the anticipated commencement date in respect of the RFO Premises, and the Termination Date in respect of the RFO Premises, as hereinafter defined. Tenant shall have the right, exercisable upon written notice (“Tenant’s Exercise Notice”) given to Landlord within twenty (20) days after the receipt of Landlord’s Notice, to lease the RFO Premises.  If Tenant desires to exercise its rights under this Section 29.16 but disagrees with the Fair Market Terms and Conditions designated by Landlord in Landlord’s Notice, Tenant shall deliver the Tenant’s Exercise Notice in the time period allotted herein and include Tenant’s determination of Fair Market Terms and Conditions.  In such event, Landlord and Tenant agree to negotiate in good faith for up to thirty (30) days thereafter to come to agreement on the Fair Market Terms and Conditions.  In the event the parties cannot reach agreement within said thirty (30) day period then the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Section 29.4 of the Lease.  If Tenant fails to timely to give Tenant’s Exercise Notice or declines to exercise its rights, Tenant shall have no further right to lease such RFO Premises pursuant to this Article 29.16, unless such RFO Premises again becomes available for lease to Tenant after the occupancy of the next tenant to lease such RFO Premises; in such event Landlord shall be free to lease the RFO Premises to a third party on substantially the same economic terms and conditions as the Fair Market Terms and Conditions contained in Landlord’s Notice but in any event not less than 92.5% of such Fair Market Terms and Conditions, taken in the aggregate.  In such event, within ten (10) days of Landlord’s request therefor, Tenant shall execute a certificate confirming its election to decline to lease such RFO Space .  Upon the Tenant’s exercise of its rights hereunder and the determination of Fair Market Terms and Conditions, Landlord shall lease and demise to Tenant and Tenant shall hire and take from Landlord, such RFO Premises, upon all of the same terms and conditions of the Lease except as otherwise set forth below and in the Fair Market Terms and Conditions of Landlord’s Notice.

 

D.                                    Lease Provisions Applying to RFO Premises

 

The leasing to Tenant of each RFO Premises shall be upon all of the same terms and conditions of the Lease applicable to the Premises initially demised to Tenant (“Existing Premises”), except as modified by the Fair Market Terms and Conditions set forth in the Landlord’s Notice (as determined in accordance with Section 29.16C. above) and except as otherwise set forth in the following:

 

1.                                      Term Commencement Date

 

The Term Commencement Date in respect of such RFO Premises shall be the later of: (x) the anticipated commencement date in respect of such RFO Premises as set forth in Landlord’s Notice, or (y) the date that Landlord delivers such RFO Premises to Tenant.

 

46



 

(2)                                 Termination Date

 

The Termination Date in respect of such RFO Premises shall be coterminous with the termination date of the then existing Premises.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if Tenant’s Exercise Notice is given at such time when there is less than thirty-six (36) months remaining in the term of the Lease then (a) if the RFO Premises that is the subject of Landlord’s Notice is 20,000 rentable square feet or less then the Termination Date in respect of such RFO Premises shall be thirty-six (36) months from the commencement date for such RFO Premises and (b) if the RFO Premises that is the subject of Landlord’s Notice is greater than 20,000 rentable square feet then the Termination Date in respect of such RFO Premises shall be forty-eight (48) months from the commencement date for such RFO Premises.

 

(3)                                 Yearly Rent

 

The Yearly Rent in respect of such RFO Premises shall be based upon the Fair Market Rental Value, as defined and determined in accordance with Articles 29.15A and 29.15B and this Article 29.16.

 

E.                                     Execution of Lease Amendments

 

Notwithstanding the fact that Tenant’s exercise of the above described option to lease RFO Premises shall be self executing, as aforesaid, the parties hereby agree promptly to execute a lease amendment reflecting the addition of an RFO Premises, except that the Yearly Rent payable in respect of such RFO Premises and certain other terms and conditions may not be as set forth in such Amendment if same has yet to be determined. At the time that such Yearly Rent and any other remaining terms and conditions are determined, the parties shall execute a written agreement confirming the same. The execution of such lease amendment shall not be deemed to waive any of the conditions to Tenant’s exercise of the herein option to lease the RFO Premises, unless otherwise specifically provided in such lease amendment.

 

F.                                      In addition to Tenant’s above-described option to lease RFO Premises, Landlord agrees to advise Tenant during the term of the Lease as to all spaces in the Building that Landlord expects to become available for lease to Tenant, as defined in Article 29.16A. Tenant shall not be deemed to have been granted any right to lease any premises in the Building pursuant to this Article 29.16F (the parties hereby acknowledging that the purposes of Landlord’s advice pursuant to this Article 29.16F is to provide Tenant with current information).

 

29.17                 Antenna Area

 

Tenant shall have the right to use the Antenna Area, as hereinafter defined, to install, maintain and use up to an aggregate of three satellite dishes antenna or other telecommunication devices (collectively, including associated wires and the like, referred to as “Antenna”) for a period commencing as of the date that Tenant installs the Antenna in the Antenna Area (“Term Commencement Date in respect of the Antenna Area”) and terminating as of termination of the term of the Lease of the Premises initially demised to Tenant. The “Antenna Area” shall be an area on the roof of the Building shown as “Antenna Area” on Exhibit 6 attached hereto. Tenant shall be permitted to use the Antenna Area solely for Antenna facilities installed in accordance with specifications approved by Landlord in advance (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) utilizing a frequency or frequencies and transmission power identified in such approved specifications which Tenant will be installing in the Antenna Area and no other frequencies or transmission power shall be used by Tenant without Landlord’s prior written consent. Such installation shall be designed in such manner as to be easily removable and so as not to damage the roof of the Building. The Antenna and any replacement shall be subject to Landlord’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Tenant’s use of the Antenna Area shall be upon all of the conditions of the Lease, except as follows:

 

A.                                    Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Yearly Rent, Tax Share, or Operating Cost Share in respect of the Antenna Area.

 

B.                                    Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any services to the Antenna facilities.

 

C.                                    Tenant shall have no right to make any changes, alterations, signs, decoration, or other improvements (which changes, alterations, signs, decoration or other improvements, together with the Antenna, are

 

47



 

hereby collectively referred to as “Rooftop Installations”) to the Antenna Area (other than installing the Antenna) without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent Landlord may hold it its sole discretion.

 

D.                                    Tenant shall have no right of access to the roof of the Building unless Tenant has given Landlord reasonable advance notice and unless Tenant’s representatives are accompanied by a representative of Landlord. Landlord shall provide Tenant with 24-hour access to the Antenna Area, subject to Landlord’s reasonable security procedures and restrictions based on emergency conditions and to other causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. Tenant shall give Landlord reasonable advance written notice of the need for access to the Antenna Area (except that such notice may be oral in an emergency), and Landlord must be present during any entry by Tenant onto the Antenna Area. Each notice for access shall be in the form of a work order referencing the lease and describing, as applicable, the date access is needed, the name of the contractor or other personnel requiring access, the name of the supervisor authorizing the access/work, the areas to which access is required, the Building common elements to be impacted (risers, electrical rooms, etc.) and the description of new equipment or other Rooftop Installations to be installed and evidence of Landlord’s approval thereof. In the event of an emergency, such notice shall follow within five (5) days after access to the Antenna Area.

 

E.                                     At the expiration or prior termination of Tenant’s right to use the Antenna Area, Tenant shall remove all Rooftop Installations (including, without limitation, the Antenna) from the Antenna Area.

 

F.                                      Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any damage to the roof of the Building caused by the installation or removal of any Rooftop Installations.

 

G.                                    Tenant shall have no right to sublet the Antenna Area separate from a sublease of the Premises, or portion thereof, which is permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

 

H.                                   No other person, firm or entity (including, without limitation, other tenants, licensees or occupants of the Building) shall have the right to benefit from the services provided by the Antenna other than Tenant and Tenant’s permitted assignees and subtenants.

 

I.                                        In the event that Landlord performs repairs to or replacement of the roof, Tenant shall, if and to the extent necessary for such repairs or replacements, at Tenant’s cost, remove the Antenna until such time as Landlord has completed such repairs or replacements. Tenant recognizes that there may be an interference with Tenant’s use of the Antenna in connection with such work. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to complete such work as promptly as possible and to perform such work in a manner which will minimize or, if reasonably possible, eliminate any interruption in Tenant’s use of the Antenna.

 

J.                                        Any services required by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s use of the Antenna Area or the Antenna shall be installed by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, subject to Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

K.                                   To the maximum extent permitted by law, all Rooftop Installations in the Antenna Area shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant in the event that any Rooftop Installations are damaged for any reason (except, subject to Article 19, to the extent arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s contractors (including subcontractors or agents).

 

L.                                     Tenant shall take the Antenna Area “as-is” in the condition in which the Antenna Area is in as of the Term Commencement Date in respect of the Antenna Area.

 

M.                                 Tenant shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations in Tenant’s use of the Antenna Area and the Antenna.

 

N.                                    Landlord shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days notice to Tenant, to require Tenant to relocate the Antenna Area to another area (“Relocated Rooftop Area”) on the roof of the Building suitable for the use of Rooftop Installations. In such event, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s cost and expense, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord gives such notice, relocate all of its Rooftop Installations from the Antenna Area to the Relocated Rooftop Area.

 

48



 

O.                                    In addition to complying with the applicable construction provisions of the Lease, Tenant shall not install or operate Rooftop Installations in any portion of the Antenna Area until (x) Tenant shall have obtained Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, of Tenant’s plans and specifications for the placement and installation of the facilities, if any, connecting the Rooftop Installations in the Premises, and (y) Tenant shall have obtained and delivered to Landlord copies of all required governmental and quasi-governmental permits, approvals, licenses and authorizations necessary for the lawful installation, operation and maintenance of the Rooftop Installations. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree, by way of illustration and not limitation, that Landlord shall have the right to withhold its approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications hereunder, and shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in doing so, if Tenant’s intended placement or method of installation or operation of the Rooftop Installations (i) may subject other licensees, tenants or occupants of the Building, or other surrounding or neighboring landowners or their occupants, to signal interference, Tenant hereby acknowledging that a shield may be required in order to prevent such interference, (ii) does not minimize to the fullest extent practicable the obstruction of the views from the windows of the Building that are adjacent to the Rooftop Installations, if any, (iii) does not complement (in Landlord’s sole judgment, which shall not, however, require Tenant to incur unreasonable expense) the design and finish of the Building, (iv) may damage the structural integrity of the Building or the roof thereof, or (v) may constitute a violation of any consent, approval, permit or authorization necessary for the lawful installation of the Rooftop Installations.

 

P.                                      In addition to the indemnification provisions set forth in the Lease which shall be applicable to the Antenna Area, Tenant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord, its agents, contractors and employees harmless from any and all claims, losses, demands, actions or causes of actions suffered by any person, firm, corporation, or other entity arising from Tenant’s use of the Antenna Area, except, subject to Article 19, to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s contractors (including subcontractors) or agents.

 

Q.                                    Landlord shall have the right to designate or identify the Rooftop Installations with or by a lease or license number (or other marking) and to place such number (or marking) on or near such Rooftop Installations.

 

29.18                 Rooftop Mechanical Area

 

A.                                    Without additional charge, except as set forth in this Article 29.18, Tenant, at its cost, shall be permitted to install, maintain and use heating, cooling and ventilating equipment (“HVAC Equipment”) on the roof of the Building in the location shown on Exhibit 6. Tenant shall not install the HVAC Equipment without obtaining Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If at any time Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary, Tenant shall provide and install, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, appropriate aesthetic screening, reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, for the HVAC Equipment (the “Screening”). The HVAC Equipment, its appurtenances and Screening, if any, shall be installed in accordance with the terms of this Lease (including, without limitation, Articles 12 and 13 hereof) and Landlord’s approval of the precise location of the HVAC Equipment (if not installed in the location shown on Exhibit 6) on the roof of the Building (such area on the roof, as shown on Exhibit 6 or as otherwise approved by Landlord, being referred to herein as the “Rooftop Mechanical Area”), the manner in which the HVAC Equipment is lifted to, and installed on, the roof of the Building, and the manner in which the HVAC Equipment is connected to the Premises (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

 

B.                                    Landlord agrees that Tenant, upon reasonable prior written notice to Landlord, shall have access to the roof of the Building and the Rooftop Mechanical Area for the purpose of installing, maintaining, repairing and removing the HVAC Equipment, the appurtenances and the Screening, if any, all of which shall be performed by Tenant or Tenant’s authorized representative or contractors, which shall be approved by Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and risk. It is agreed, however, that only authorized engineers, employees or properly authorized contractors of Tenant, or persons under their direct supervision, will be permitted to have access to the roof of the Building and the Rooftop Mechanical Area. Tenant further agrees to exercise firm control over the people requiring access to the roof of the Building and the Rooftop Mechanical Area in order to keep to a minimum the number of people having access to the roof of the Building and the Rooftop Mechanical Area and the frequency of their visits.

 

C.                                    Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of all electricity consumed in connection with the operation of the HVAC Equipment and for the cost of installing a submeter, if required by Landlord, to measure such electrical consumption. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall procure and maintain in full force and effect,

 

49



 

a contract (the “Service Contract”) for the service, maintenance, repair and replacement of the HVAC Equipment with a HVAC service and maintenance contracting firm reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Tenant shall follow all reasonable recommendations of said contractor for the maintenance, repair and replacement of the HVAC Equipment. The Service Contract shall provide that the contractor shall perform inspections of the HVAC Equipment at intervals of not less than three (3) months and that having made such inspections, said contractor shall furnish a complete report of any defective conditions found to be existing with respect to the HVAC Equipment, together with any recommendations for maintenance, repair and/or replacement thereof. Said report shall be furnished to Tenant with a copy to Landlord.

 

D.                                    The installation, maintenance, operation and removal of the HVAC Equipment, the appurtenances and the Screening, if any, is not permitted to damage the Building or the roof thereof, or interfere with the use of the Building and roof by Landlord. Tenant agrees to be responsible for any damage caused to the roof or any other part of the Building, which may be caused by Tenant or any of its agents or representatives. Tenant agrees to maintain all of the Tenant’s HVAC Equipment placed on or about the roof or in any other part of the Building in proper operating condition and maintain same in satisfactory condition as to appearance and safety, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Such maintenance and operation shall be performed in a manner to avoid any interference with Landlord. Tenant agrees that at all times during the Term, it will keep the roof of the Building and the Rooftop Mechanical Area free of all trash or waste materials produced by Tenant or any Tenant Entities or contractors.

 

E.                                     The HVAC Equipment, appurtenances, and Screening, if any, shall remain the property of Tenant until the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, at which time they shall become the property of Landlord; provided, however, that Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, which option shall be exercised by Landlord at the time that Landlord approves Tenant’s plans therefor, require the Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove the HVAC Equipment, appurtenances and/or Screening at the expiration or sooner termination of the term of this Lease and restore the affected area(s) to the condition they were in prior to installation of such items, ordinary wear and tear excepted, including, without limitation, the patching of any holes in the roof membrane to match, as closely as possible, the color surrounding the area where the HVAC Equipment, appurtenances and Screening were attached. Landlord agrees to make such election at the time that Landlord approves Tenant’s plans for such installations, etc., if Tenant requests in writing that Landlord make such election at the time that Tenant requests Landlord’s approval of such installations, etc. If Tenant fails to remove such items and/or perform such restoration work required pursuant to this Article 29.18E, Landlord shall be entitled to do so, at Tenant’s cost.

 

F.                                      Tenant must provide Landlord with prior written notice of any installation, removal or repair on the roof of the Building and coordinate such work with Landlord in order to avoid voiding or otherwise adversely affecting any warranties granted to Landlord with respect to the roof. If necessary, Tenant, at its sole reasonable cost and expense, shall retain any contractor having a then existing warranty in effect on the roof to perform such work (to the extent that it involves the roof), or, at Tenant’s option, to perform such work in conjunction with Tenant’s contractor. If Landlord contemplates roof repairs that could affect Tenant’s HVAC Equipment, Landlord shall formally notify Tenant at least thirty (30) days in advance (except in cases of an emergency) prior to the commencement of such contemplated work in order to allow Tenant to make other arrangements for such service.

 

G.                                    Tenant specifically acknowledges and agrees that the terms and conditions of Article 16 of this Lease shall apply with full force and effect to the Rooftop Mechanical Area.

 

29.19                 Parking.  As of the Execution Date of the Lease, the Landlord will make available to Tenant eighty-two (82) monthly parking passes for use in the One Kendall Square Garage (“OKS Garage”). Tenant shall have no right to sublet, assign, or otherwise transfer said parking passes except in connection with a permitted assignment of this Lease or a permitted sublease of the Premises or a portion thereof. The rate for such passes during the term of the Lease to be paid for by Tenant shall be based upon market rates then charged in the Garage and in similar garages in the East Cambridge/Kendall Square market, as such rate may vary from time to time.  The current rate for such passes as of the Execution Date is $225.00 per month. If, for any reason, Tenant shall fail timely to pay the charge for said parking passes, within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord, Tenant shall have no further right to such parking passes under this Article 29.19. In addition, during any time period when Tenant is in default beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and grace periods of its obligations under the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to withdraw Tenant’s use of said parking passes. Said parking passes will be on an unassigned, non-reserved basis, and shall be subject to reasonable rules and regulations from time to time in force.  If, as and when the Premises are expanded pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord shall make available to Tenant one (1)

 

50



 

additional parking pass for each 1,000 rentable square feet of such expansion space.  Accordingly, the number of available parking passes shall increase by nine (9) as of the Expansion Space I Commencement Date; by three (3) as of the Expansion Space II Commencement Date and by ten (10) as of the Expansion Space III Commencement Date.

 

29.20                 Right of First Refusal.  Subject only to the Superior Rights of NinePoint Medical Inc., provided this Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default hereunder, beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, if at any time during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall receive a bona fide offer (the “Offer”) from any third party to lease any of the space on the fifth (5th) floor in Building 600/650/700 that is vacant as of the Execution Date of this Lease, as such spaces are more particularly shown hatched on the plan attached hereto as Exhibit 9 (each such space may be referred to individually or collectively as the “ROFR Space”), and which Offer Landlord is prepared to accept, Landlord shall notify Tenant (the “Right of First Refusal Notice”) of Landlord’s intent to accept such Offer.  The Right of First Refusal Notice shall include the terms of the Offer.  Tenant shall have the right (the “Right of First Refusal”), exercisable by Tenant, within five (5) business days of Tenant’s receipt of the Right of First Refusal Notice, to decline such Offer or accept the terms of the Offer, in writing, and within five (5) business days thereafter Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a supplemental agreement to the Lease pursuant to which Tenant shall lease the space which is the subject of the Offer under the terms and conditions specified in the Offer and this Lease.  If the Offer includes space in addition to the ROFR Space then Tenant must elect to lease the entirety of the space in the Offer (including the ROFR Space) if Tenant exercises it rights to lease under this Section 29.20.  Should Tenant decline the Offer or fail to accept the Offer in writing within five (5) business days of receipt of the Right of First Refusal Notice, then Landlord shall be free to lease such space to the offering third party upon the terms set forth in the Right of First Refusal Notice, and the Right of First Refusal under this Section 29.20 shall become null and void as to the particular space offered and within ten (10) days of Landlord’s request therefor, Tenant shall execute a certificate confirming its election to decline to lease such ROFR Space; provided however, that if Landlord has not executed a lease for such space in accordance with the terms third-party Offer within six (6) months following the date on which Landlord’s Right of First Refusal Notice is delivered to Tenant, then the terms of this Right of First Refusal shall revive and Landlord shall be required to again offer the ROFR Space to Tenant in accordance with the terms hereof prior to leasing same.  If Tenant accepts the Offer, then Landlord shall lease the ROFR Space, to Tenant in accordance with the terms of the Offer.  The foregoing Right of First Refusal is personal to and may only be exercised by Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and/or any Permitted tenant Successor (as defined in Article 16 of this Lease) while occupying at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Total Rentable Area of the Premises then demised to Tenant.  No Right of First Refusal Notice shall contain terms or conditions which, due to their exclusive or particular application to the identity or business practice of the proposed lessee (as opposed to financial terms of general applicability) would by their inclusion in the proposed transaction render it impossible or commercially impracticable for Tenant to exercise its right to lease the ROFR Space on the terms set forth in such Right of First Refusal Notice.  To the extent any such terms or conditions are contained in any Right of First Refusal Notice, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with written notice of its objection to such terms and conditions, and shall thereafter (absent a good faith dispute by Landlord which may be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article 29.4) be entitled to exercise its rights of acceptance under this Section without regard to such terms or conditions, in which event they shall be deemed deleted from and inapplicable to the Right of First Refusal Notice accepted by Tenant.

 

29.21                 Complex Fitness Center.  Landlord acknowledges that it is undertaking to construct an approximately 3,000 square feet fitness center, with locker and shower facilities, on the first (1st) floor of Building 500 in the Complex which may be used by Complex tenants subject to applicable fees and rules and regulations to be developed by Landlord.  Landlord shall complete construction of the aforesaid fitness center on or before January 1, 2013.
