Amendment to Lease If Tenant timely exercises Tenant’s right to lease the Availability Premises or any portion thereof as set forth herein, then, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment adding such Availability Premises to this Lease upon the same terms and conditions as the Initial Premises, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 1.4 or the Availability Notice, and provided that the terms of the Tenant Work Letter shall not apply with respect to the Availability Premises (except as otherwise provided in Section 1.4.5, above); provided, however, an otherwise valid exercise of Tenant’s right of availability shall be of full force and effect irrespective of whether such amendment is ever signed by Landlord and Tenant. Except to the extent inconsistent with the determination of Availability Premises Rent, all provisions of the Lease which vary based upon the rentable and usable square footage of the Premises shall be adjusted to reflect the addition of such Availability Premises to the Premises; provided, however, the L-C Amount shall be increased pursuant to the terms of Section 21.7 of this Lease, below. The rentable square footage of such Availability Premises shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Section 1.2 of this Lease. To the extent Tenant exercises its right of first offer with respect to any portion of the Availability Premises during the first (1st) year after the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall commence payment of Availability Premises Rent and Excess as to such space to Landlord upon that date (the “Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date”) which is two hundred ten (210) days after the later of the delivery date set forth in the Availability Notice and the date Landlord delivers the Availability Premises in the Delivery Condition (the “Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date”). To the extent Tenant exercises its right of availability with respect to any portion of the Availability Premises anytime after the first (1st) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, the Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date shall occur one hundred eighty (180) days after the Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date. In all cases, the lease term of the Availability Premises (or any portion thereof) shall expire on the Lease Expiration Date, subject to extension of this Lease; provided, however, in the event the remaining Lease Term is less than thirty-six (36) months from the applicable Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date, then the Lease Term shall be extended for a period of time sufficient for Tenant’s lease of the Premises to be coterminous with Tenant’s lease of the Availability Premises (which shall be thirty-six (36) months from the applicable Availability Premises Rent Commencement Date), and the base rental rate for the Premises during this extended period shall be adjusted to Market Rent for the Premises determined in accordance with Section 2.2.4 and the Base Year shall be the year in which the Lease would have otherwise expired (if on or before July 31) or the following year (if after July 31). This extension shall have no impact on Tenant’s extension rights hereunder, which may be exercised at the end of the extended Lease Term. This Lease shall commence as to the Availability Premises (and references to Premises shall include the applicable Availability Premises) on the Availability Premises Lease Commencement Date.
Leasehold Mortgage Tenant shall not be permitted to encumber the fee simple title in the Land, Building or Premises or any of the structures, improvements, fixtures or any other portion of the Premises, including without limitation any Addition. Tenant shall only be permitted to mortgage Tenant's interest under this Lease, which such mortgage shall in no manner alter the terms and conditions of this Lease, nor impact Landlord's rights as the owner of the Premises. In no event shall the Landlord's fee simple title in the Land, Building or the Premises or any of the structures, improvements, fixtures or any other portion of the Premises, including without limitation any Addition, be encumbered by any such leasehold mortgage. In the event Tenant desires to obtain a leasehold mortgage, Tenant shall present and Landlord shall have the right to review and approve of any leasehold mortgage and any other documents to be recorded in relation to such leasehold mortgage prior to their record to confirm that such documents do not encumber Landlord's fee simple title in the Land, Building or the Premises. Landlord agrees, upon the request of a leasehold mortgagee, to provide to such leasehold mortgagee a copy of all notices of default made by Landlord upon Tenant under this Lease, to permit such leasehold mortgagee an opportunity to cure any such defaults, which in no event shall exceed sixty (60) business days and to recognize such mortgagee or any purchaser of Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises in foreclosure as the tenant under this Lease, provided that such mortgagee or purchaser in foreclosure complies with each and every term and provision of this Lease and that all outstanding obligations of the Tenant have been paid in full. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including attorneys fees, to review such documents.
FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE This First Amendment to Lease (this “Amendment”), made as of March 16, 2006, by and between ARE-MA REGION NO. 28, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”) and ALNYLAM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”).
Leasehold Mortgages Lessee shall have the right during the term of this Lease to mortgage the Lessee's interest in this Lease, without the prior consent of the Port, and to assign the Lessee's interest in this Lease as collateral security for such leasehold mortgage. All rights acquired by the holder of the leasehold mortgage shall be subject to each and every term, covenant and condition of this Lease and to all rights and interests of the Port. None of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease shall be waived by the Port by reason of the right given to the Lessee to assign its interest in this Lease for security purposes.
15.1 The Leasehold Mortgage shall contain provisions providing that no purchaser or transferee of the Lease at any foreclosure sale or other transfer authorized by law or by reason of a default under the mortgage where no foreclosure sale is required shall further assign or transfer any right, title or interest in or to this Lease or the leasehold estate covered by the Leasehold Mortgage unless the Port has approved the assignee or transferee in writing.
15.2 In the event the Lessee assigns this Lease for security purposes as provided in this Section 15, after receipt of a written notice from the Lessee giving the name and address of the leasehold mortgagee, the Port agrees that whenever the Port sends a notice to the Lessee under the terms of this Lease, the Port will contemporaneously send a copy of the notice to the leasehold mortgagee.
15.3 The Port further agrees that it will not accept a voluntary cancellation or surrender of the Lease by the Lessee without prior written consent of the leasehold mortgagee and the Port will not enter into any amendments of the lease which modifies any material provision of the lease without prior written approval of the leasehold mortgagee. No merger shall result from the acquisition by or the devolution upon any one entity of the fee and leasehold estates in the property.
15.4 In the event of a notice of default from the Port to the Lessee, the leasehold mortgagee may cure any default within the time provided for in the lease after the leasehold mortgagee's receipt of the notice of default. The Port agrees to accept a tender of cure of default from the leasehold mortgagee as if the cure were tendered by the Lessee. Provided, however, that if it takes the leasehold mortgagee more than thirty (30) days to cure a default (other than the payment of any money due under the lease) because the leasehold mortgagee is not in possession of the property, the lease shall not be in default if the leasehold mortgagee promptly undertakes to obtain possession of the property and diligently pursues its right to possession. No tender of cure of a default by the leasehold mortgagee shall require the leasehold mortgagee to cure any future defaults by the Lessee or require the leasehold mortgagee to perform any other term or condition of this Lease.
15.5 In the event of a default by the Lessee which has not been cured by the Lessee or by the leasehold mortgagee and which would permit the Port to forfeit or otherwise terminate this Lease or in the event the leasehold mortgagee forecloses upon its leasehold mortgage and becomes the holder of the Lessee's interest in this Lease, the Port agrees to accept the leasehold mortgagee as the Lessee under this Lease, provided the leasehold mortgagee performs all of the obligations and covenants of the Lessee contained in this Lease which are capable of being performed by the leasehold mortgagee.
15.6 In the event of a default which is personal to the Lessee (such as a bankruptcy) and which cannot be cured by the leasehold mortgagee and the Lessee's interest under this Lease has been terminated or canceled, then at the written request of the leasehold mortgagee, the Port agrees to enter into a new lease with the leasehold mortgagee under the same terms and conditions as this Lease and for any unexpired term of the lease. The Port's execution and delivery of the lease shall be without any representation or warranty of any kind, including any representations or warranties regarding title to the Property, the improvements or the priority of such new lease.
15.6.1 The Port shall be obligated to enter into a new lease with the leasehold mortgagee only if the leasehold mortgagee has remedied and cured all monetary defaults of the Lessee under this Lease and has remedied and cured or has commenced and is diligently completing the cure of all non-monetary defaults susceptible to cure by any party other than the original Lessee. The leasehold mortgagee shall pay all costs and expenses of the Port, including, but not limited to, attorney fees, real property transfer taxes, escrow fees and recording fees incurred in connection with the preparation and execution of a new lease and any related conveyances.
15.6.2 If more than one leasehold mortgagee requests a new lease or in the event of a dispute between the Lessee and a leasehold mortgagee, the Port shall have no duty to determine the relative priority of the leasehold mortgages and the Port shall have no obligation to enter into a new lease with any leasehold mortgagees unless the dispute is resolved to the Port's satisfaction within ninety (90) days of the termination of this Lease.
15.6.3 Upon the execution of the new lease by the leasehold mortgagee and the Port, the Port will convey to the leasehold mortgagee by quit claim deed, title to any improvements on the Property by the Lessee in which the leasehold mortgagee has a recorded mortgage or other security interest. The conveyance of the improvements shall be in "as is" condition without any warranty or representation by the Port concerning the condition of the improvements. The Port will not warrant the title to the improvements and the leasehold mortgagee shall accept the title to the improvements subject to any existing encumbrances.
15.6.4 Upon the execution of a new lease and the conveyance of title to improvements, if any, it shall be the responsibility of the leasehold mortgagee to cancel and discharge this Lease and remove any persons occupying the premises. The leasehold mortgagee shall indemnify the Port and hold it harmless from any obligations, claims, actions, damages, costs or expense, including attorney fees, which may arise from such action or from the Port's compliance with any of the provisions of this Section 15.6.
Agreement to Lease Landlord agrees to lease to Tenant and Tenant agrees to lease from Landlord, according to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Premises.
Amendment of Lease This lease may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant.
Subordination to Mortgages; Estoppel Certificate Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any mortgage(s), deed(s) of trust, ground lease(s) or other lien(s) now or subsequently arising upon the Premises, the Building or the Property, and to renewals, modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof (collectively referred to as a “Mortgage”). The party having the benefit of a Mortgage shall be referred to as a “Mortgagee”. This clause shall be self-operative, but upon request from a Mortgagee, Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement in favor of the Mortgagee. As an alternative, a Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease. Upon request, Tenant, without charge, shall attorn to any successor to Landlord’s interest in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall each, within 10 days after receipt of a written request from the other, execute and deliver a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to those parties as are reasonably requested by the other (including a Mortgagee or prospective purchaser). Without limitation, such estoppel certificate may include a certification as to the status of this Lease, the existence of any defaults and the amount of Rent that is due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request by Tenant, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement from Landlord’s then current Mortgagee on such Mortgagee’s then current standard form of agreement. “Reasonable efforts” of Landlord shall not require Landlord to incur any cost, expense or liability to obtain such agreement, it being agreed that Tenant shall be responsible for any fee or review costs charged by the Mortgagee. Upon request of Landlord, Tenant will execute the Mortgagee’s form of non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement and return the same to Landlord for execution by the Mortgagee. Landlord’s failure to obtain a non-disturbance, subordination and attornment agreement for Tenant shall have no effect on the rights, obligations and liabilities of Landlord and Tenant or be considered to be a default by Landlord hereunder.
Amendment to Loan Agreement Subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 below, the Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
Subordination to Mortgage This Lease, and any sublease entered into by Tenant under the provisions of this Lease, shall be subject and subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, the Building, the Center, or any of them, and the rights of any assignee of Landlord or of any ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor under any of the foregoing, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof; provided, however, that such subordination in the case of any future ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security placed upon the Premises, the Building, the Center, or any of them shall be conditioned on Tenant’s receipt from the ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor of a Non-Disturbance Agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Tenant (i) confirming that so long as Tenant is not in material default hereunder beyond any applicable cure period (for which purpose the occurrence and continuance of any event of default under Section 14.1 hereof shall be deemed to be “material”), Tenant’s rights hereunder shall not be disturbed by such person or entity and (ii) agreeing that the benefit of such Non-Disturbance Agreement shall be transferable to any transferee under a Permitted Transfer and to any other assignee or subtenant that is acceptable to the ground lessor, mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary or leaseback lessor at the time of transfer. If any mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sale/leaseback lessor or assignee elects to have this Lease be an encumbrance upon the Center prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease or leaseback lease or other security arrangement and gives notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior thereto, whether this Lease is dated prior or subsequent to the date thereof or the date of recording thereof. Tenant, and any sublessee, shall execute such documents as may reasonably be requested by any mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, sale/leaseback lessor or assignee to evidence the subordination herein set forth, subject to the conditions set forth above, or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, leaseback lease or other security arrangement, as the case may be. Upon any default by Landlord in the performance of its obligations under any mortgage, deed of trust, ground lease, leaseback lease or assignment, Tenant (and any sublessee) shall, notwithstanding any subordination hereunder, attorn to the mortgagee, trustee, beneficiary, ground lessor, leaseback lessor or assignee thereunder upon demand and become the tenant of the successor in interest to Landlord, at the option of such successor in interest, and shall execute and deliver any instrument or instruments confirming the attornment herein provided for. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date of this Lease, neither the Premises nor the Building nor the Center is subject to any existing ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, sale/leaseback transaction or any other hypothecation for security.
Amendments to Lease The Lease is hereby amended as follows:
