LEASE ALTERATIONS The Owner hereby gives power to the Agent to initiate, sign, renew, modify, or cancel rental agreements and leases for the Property, or any part thereof and collect and give receipts for rents, other fees, charges, and security deposits.
Landlord’s Entry Landlord and its authorized representatives may at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant enter the Premises to: (a) inspect the Premises; (b) exercise and perform Landlord's rights and obligations under this Lease; (c) post notices of non-responsibility or other protective notices available under the Laws; (d) show the Premises to current or prospective mortgagees, or to prospective purchasers of the Property; or (e) during the last 12 months of the Term, show the Premises to prospective tenants. Landlord, in the event of any emergency, may enter the Premises at any time without notice to Tenant. If Landlord receives prior written notification from Tenant that specified areas within the Premises contain confidential materials, then Landlord shall not enter such portions of the Premises unless accompanied by a representative of Tenant except (i) in case of an emergency, or (ii) if Tenant authorizes Landlord to enter such portions of the Premises without accompaniment of Tenant's representative. Landlord's entry into the Premises is not to be construed as a forcible or unlawful entry into, or detainer of, the Premises or as an eviction of Tenant from all or any part of the Premises. Subject to Section 9.3 below, Tenant will also permit Landlord (or its designees) to erect, install, use, maintain, replace and repair pipes, cables, conduits, plumbing and vents, and telephone, electric and other wires or other items, in, to and through the Premises if Landlord reasonably determines that such activities are necessary for properly operating and maintaining the Building.
Subleased Premises Sublandlord hereby subleases to Subtenant and Subtenant hereby subleases from Sublandlord for the term, at the rental, and upon all of the conditions set forth herein, the Subleased Premises.
Condition of Subleased Premises (a) Subtenant represents that it has made or caused to be made a thorough examination and inspection of the Subleased Premises and is familiar with the condition of every part thereof. Subtenant agrees that, except as expressly provided herein, (i) it enters into this Sublease without relying upon any representations, warranties or promises by Sublandlord, its agents, representatives, employees or any other person in respect of the Building or the Subleased Premises, (ii) no rights, easements or licenses are acquired by Subtenant by implication or otherwise except as expressly set forth herein, (iii) Sublandlord shall deliver the Subleased Premises broom-clean and otherwise in the condition which Sublandlord received the Subleased Premises from Prime Lessor and Sublandlord shall have no obligation to do any work in order to make the Subleased Premises suitable and ready for occupancy and use by Subtenant, and (iv) the Subleased Premises are in satisfactory condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subtenant acknowledges receipt from Prime Lessor of a decommissioning report with respect to the Subleased Premises prepared by Ramboll US Corporation and dated March 17, 2020 (the “Decommissioning Report”) and has accepted the results set forth in the Decommissioning Report. Sublandlord represents and warrants to Subtenant that Sublandlord has not physically occupied the Subleased Premises at any time, including from and after the date of the Decommissioning Report.
(b) Subtenant shall keep and maintain the Subleased Premises, the furniture, fixtures and equipment therein (including, without limitation, all laboratory-specific mechanical equipment) clean and in good order, repair and condition, except for reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty or condemnation. To the extent agreed to by Prime Lessor, Subtenant shall be entitled to the benefit of those obligations of Prime Lessor set forth in the Prime Lease as to Prime Lessor’s obligation to maintain Building Systems.
(c) Subtenant shall make no alteration, installation, removal, addition or improvement in or to the Subleased Premises or to any other portion of the Building without the prior written consent of each of Sublandlord and, if required pursuant to the terms of the Prime Lease, Prime Lessor, and then, only in compliance fully with the terms of this Sublease and the Prime Lease. Sublandlord may withhold consent in its sole discretion to any alteration, installation, addition or improvement proposed by Subtenant. Sublandlord may require Subtenant to remove any and all alterations, installations, additions or improvements that Subtenant makes to the Subleased Premises upon the expiration or termination of the Term, and to restore the Subleased Premises to its condition prior to such alterations, installations, additions or improvements.
(d) During the Term of the Sublease, and subject to Prime Lessor’s consent, Subtenant may use 0.90 parking spaces in the Technology Square Garage per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Subleased Premises as allocated to Sublandlord pursuant to Section 10 of the Prime Lease. Such parking use by Subtenant shall, subject to Prime Lessor’s consent, be at the same cost per space as charged to Sublandlord from time to time pursuant to the Prime Lease, and such use by Subtenant shall be in accordance with Section 10 of the Prime Lease as amended from time to time and all published rules and regulations of the Landlord and/or the operator of the Technology Square Garage as to such parking use.
Landlord’s Expenses In the event Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, then Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, attorneys', architects', accountants', engineers' or other consultants' fees.
Building Renovations It is specifically understood and agreed that Landlord has made no representation or warranty to Tenant and has no obligation and has made no promises to alter, remodel, improve, renovate, repair or decorate the Premises, Building, or any part thereof and that no representations respecting the condition of the Premises or the Building have been made by Landlord to Tenant except as specifically set forth herein or in the Work Letter Agreement. However, Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord is currently renovating or may during the Lease Term renovate, improve, alter, or modify (collectively, the "Renovations") the Project, the Building and/or the Premises including without limitation the parking structure, common areas, systems and equipment, roof, and structural portions of the same, which Renovations may include, without limitation, (i) installing sprinklers in the Building common areas and tenant spaces, (ii) modifying the common areas and tenant spaces to comply with applicable laws and regulations, including regulations relating to the physically disabled, seismic conditions, and building safety and security, and (iii) installing new floor covering, lighting, and wall coverings in the Building common areas, and in connection with any Renovations, Landlord may, among other things, erect scaffolding or other necessary structures in the Building, limit or eliminate access to portions of the Project, including portions of the common areas, or perform work in the Building, which work may create noise, dust or leave debris in the Building. Tenant hereby agrees that such Renovations and Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations shall in no way constitute a constructive eviction of Tenant nor entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent. Landlord shall have no responsibility or for any reason be liable to Tenant for any direct or indirect injury to or interference with Tenant's business arising from the Renovations, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises or of Tenant's personal property or improvements resulting from the Renovations or Landlord's actions in connection with such Renovations, or for any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such Renovations or Landlord's actions.
Landlord’s Contribution Landlord shall contribute rent abatements up to the total amount of ONE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($150,000.00) (“Landlord’s Contribution”) on account of the cost of refurbishing the Leased Premises including design and engineering costs. Landlord’s Contribution shall be available to Tenant only as follows:
(i) Tenant shall submit to Landlord a written request to utilize a portion of Landlord’s Contribution as an abatement of one or more monthly installments of Base Rent (as hereinafter defined) (each a “Contribution Request”); (ii) each Contribution Request shall include evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that Tenant has actually paid to contractors and other relevant professionals an amount at least equal to the amount sought in the Contribution Request in connection with construction, design and or other service and materials directly related to and necessary in connection with the Expansion Project (“Refit Expenses”); (iii) unless a Contribution Request is disputed by Landlord within ten (10) days from receipt by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of Base Rent monthly installment(s) first payable not less than thirty (30) days from submission of such Contribution Request to Landlord; (iv) in addition to the foregoing: (A) Tenant shall be limited to no more than three (3) contribution requests per year; (B) each Contribution Request shall be in an amount not less than the lesser of the remaining unused portion of Landlord’s Contribution and the Base Rent payable for one (1) month and shall specify how Tenant intends to apply the Base Rent abatements to upcoming monthly installment(s) of Base Rent; and (C) monthly abatements of Base Rent shall be applied to whole months and Tenant shall have no right to a partial abatement of monthly Base Rent other than with respect to the last Contribution Request.
Landlord’s Property All Alterations, improvements, fixtures, equipment and/or appurtenances which may be installed or placed in or about the Premises, from time to time, shall be at the sole cost of Tenant and shall be and become the property of Landlord; provided, however, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant prior to the end of the Lease Term, or given following any earlier termination of this Lease, require Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, to remove any Alterations or improvements and to repair any damage to the Premises and Building caused by such removal and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, at Landlord’s election, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord; provided; however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, upon request by Tenant at the time of Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent to any Alteration or improvement, Landlord shall notify Tenant whether the applicable Alteration or improvement will be required to be removed pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.5. If Tenant fails to complete such removal and/or to repair any damage caused by the removal of any Alterations or improvements in the Premises and return the affected portion of the Premises to their condition existing prior to the installation of such Alterations or improvements or, if elected by Landlord, to a building standard tenant improved condition as determined by Landlord, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Rent shall continue to accrue under this Lease in accordance with Article 16, below, after the end of the Lease Term until such work shall be completed, and Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform such work and to charge the cost thereof to Tenant. Tenant hereby protects, defends, indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from any liability, cost, obligation, expense or claim of lien, including but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, in any manner relating to the installation, placement, removal or financing of any such Alterations, improvements, fixtures and/or equipment in, on or about the Premises, which obligations of Tenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Landlord’s Election Tenant’s request for consent to any Transfer shall he accompanied by a written statement setting forth the details of the proposed Transfer, including the name, business and financial condition of the prospective Transferee, financial details of the proposed Transfer (e.g., the term and the rent and security deposit payable), and any other related information that Landlord may reasonably require. Landlord shall have the right: (a) to withhold consent to the Transfer, if reasonable, (b) to grant consent, (c) to terminate this Lease as to the portion of the Premises affected by any proposed Transfer, in which event Landlord may enter into a lease directly with the proposed Transferee, or (d) to consent on the condition that Landlord be paid, as Additional Rent hereunder, fifty percent (50%) of all subrent or other consideration to be paid to Tenant under the terms of the Transfer in excess of the total rent due hereunder (including, if such Transfer is an assignment or if such Transfer is to occur directly or indirectly in connection with the sale of any assets of Tenant, fifty percent (50%) of the amount of the consideration attributable to the Transfer of the Lease, as reasonably determined by Landlord). The grounds on which Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to any requested Transfer include, without limitation, that: (i) the proposed Transferee’s contemplated use of the Premises following the proposed Transfer is reasonably similar to the use of the Premises permitted hereunder, (ii) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the proposed Transferee lacks sufficient business reputation or experience to operate a successful business of the type and quality permitted under this Lease, (iii) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the proposed Transferee lacks sufficient net worth, working capital, anticipated cash flow and other indications of financial strength to meet all of its obligations under this Lease, (iv) the proposed Transfer would breach any covenant of Landlord respecting a radius restriction, location, use or exclusivity in any other lease, financing agreement, or other agreement relating to the Property, and (v) in Landlord’s reasonable business judgment, the possibility of a release of Hazardous Materials is materially increased as a result of the Transfer or if Landlord does not receive sufficient assurances that the proposed Transferee has the experience and financial ability to remedy a violation of Hazardous Materials and to fulfill its obligations under Articles 13 and 14. Landlord need only respond to any request by Tenant hereunder within a reasonable time of not less than ten (10) business days alter receipt of all information and other submission required in connection with such request.
Landlord’s Repairs Landlord, as an Operating Expense, shall maintain all of the structural, exterior, parking and other Common Areas of the Project, including HVAC, plumbing, fire sprinklers, elevators and all other building systems serving the Premises and other portions of the Project (“Building Systems”), in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, or by any of Tenant’s agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively, “Tenant Parties”) excluded. Losses and damages caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party shall be repaired by Landlord, to the extent not covered by insurance, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord reserves the right to stop Building Systems services when necessary (i) by reason of accident or emergency, or (ii) for planned repairs, alterations or improvements, which are, in the judgment of Landlord, desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply Building Systems services during any such period of interruption; provided, however, that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, make a commercially reasonable effort to give Tenant 24 hours advance notice of any planned stoppage of Building Systems services for routine maintenance, repairs, alterations or improvements. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall make a commercially reasonable effort to effect such repair. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after Tenant’s written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance. Tenant waives its rights under any state or local law to terminate this Lease or to make such repairs at Landlord’s expense and agrees that the parties’ respective rights with respect to such matters shall be solely as set forth herein. Repairs required as the result of fire, earthquake, flood, vandalism, war, or similar cause of damage or destruction shall be controlled by Section 18.
