4. Rent.
A. Tenant covenants to pay to Landlord during the Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction
except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, the full amount of all Base Rent and
Additional Rent due hereunder and the full amount of all such other sums of money as shall become
due under this Lease, all of which hereinafter may be collectively called “Rent.” In addition,
Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent, all rent, sales and use taxes or other similar taxes, if any,
levied or imposed by any city, state, county or other governmental body having authority, such
payments shall be equitably allocated as reasonably determined by Landlord, and shall be in

payments shall be paid concurrently with the payments of the Rent on which the tax is based. Base
Rent and Additional Rent for each calendar year or portion thereof during the Lease Term, shall be
due and payable in advance in monthly installments on the first day of each calendar month during
the Lease Term, without demand. If the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of a
month or terminates on a day other than the last day of a month, then the installments of Base Rent
and Additional Rent for such month or months shall be prorated, based on the number of days in such
month. All amounts received by Landlord from Tenant hereunder shall be applied first to the
earliest accrued and unpaid Rent then outstanding. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent shall be
independent of every other covenant set forth in this Lease.
B. To the extent allowed by law, all installments of Rent not paid when due shall bear

6
hereunder, a “Late Charge” equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid amount will be due
and payable immediately by Tenant to Landlord, provided, Tenant shall be entitled to a grace
period of five (5) business days after notice from Landlord with respect to the first two (2)
late payments in any calendar year.

with the provisions of Exhibit C attached hereto.

5. Security Deposit. During the Lease Term, and any extensions thereof, and for sixty
(60) days after the expiration of the Lease Term, or for so long thereafter as Tenant is in
possession of the Premises (or any portion thereof) or has unsatisfied obligations under this Lease
to Landlord, the Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest and as
security for the full and timely performance by Tenant of Tenant’s covenants and obligations under
this Lease, it being expressly understood that the Security Deposit shall not be considered an
advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant’s liability for damages in case of any failure by
Tenant to perform any of Tenant’s covenants or obligations hereunder. Landlord shall not be
required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts, shall have no fiduciary
responsibilities or trust obligations whatsoever with regard to the Security Deposit. Tenant shall
have no right to require Landlord to so draw and apply the Security Deposit, nor shall Tenant be
entitled to credit the same against Rent or other sums payable hereunder.
Landlord may, from time-to-time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use the Security
Deposit to the extent necessary to cure or attempt to cure, in whole or in part, any failure by
Tenant to perform any of Tenant’s covenants or obligations hereunder, without waiving any rights or
remedies as a result such failure. Following any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord within ten (10) business days after demand the amount so applied in order to
restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant does not have any unsatisfied
obligations hereunder at the termination of this Lease (or thereafter if Tenant is in possession of
the Premises (or any portion thereof)), the balance of the Security Deposit remaining after any
such application shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days thereafter. If
Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises during the Lease Term, Landlord shall assign the
Security Deposit to the transferee and thereafter shall have no further liability for the return of
such Security Deposit. At Tenant’s option, Tenant may elect to replace the Security Deposit with a
clean, irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of the Security Deposit satisfactory in form and
content to Landlord and issued by an FDIC insured bank located in Boston reasonably satisfactory to
Landlord in favor of the Landlord which Landlord may hold subject to the terms and conditions
hereof as if same was the Security Deposit. If the Security Deposit is in the form of a letter of
credit, during the entire Term hereof, including any extension thereof, Tenant shall cause said
letter of credit to be renewed, satisfactory in form and content to Landlord, no later than thirty
(30) days prior to the date of expiration of same. Without limiting any other remedies of Landlord,
in the event that Tenant fails to renew any letter of credit given hereunder at least thirty (30)
days prior to the date of expiration thereof, then Landlord shall have the right to draw down the
entire amount of said letter of credit and hold such sums as a cash deposit. In the event of a
change of circumstance relating to the bank issuing the letter of credit, or Landlord otherwise
reasonably believes the financial conditions of the issuing bank has been degraded, Landlord
reserves the right to require Tenant to replace the letter of credit from time to time with a
substitute similar letter of credit issued by another bank satisfactory to Landlord.
6. Services to be Furnished by Landlord.
A. Landlord shall furnish the following services: (i) heating and air conditioning during
Normal Business Hours to provide a temperature condition required, in

B. If Tenant requests any other utilities or Building services in addition to those

quality or quantities substantially greater than the standards set by Landlord for the Building,
then Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to attempt to furnish Tenant with such additional
utilities or Building services. Landlord may impose a reasonable charge for such additional
utilities or Building services, which shall be paid monthly by Tenant as Additional Rent on the
same day that the monthly installment of Base Rent is due.
C. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, the failure by Landlord to any extent
to furnish, or the interruption or termination of utilities and Building services identified in
Section 6A in whole or in part, resulting from adherence to laws , regulations and administrative
orders, wear, use, repairs, improvements, alterations or any causes shall not render Landlord
liable in any respect nor be construed as an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant, nor give
rise to an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or
agreement hereof, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease.
D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6, if: (i) Landlord
ceases to furnish any service in the Building for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive

employees, contractors, invitees or agents); (iii) such cessation is not caused by a fire or other
casualty (in which case Section 16 shall control); (iv) such cessation of service is the result of
causes, events or circumstances within the Landlord’s reasonable control and the cure of such
interruption is within Landlord’s reasonable control ; and (v) as a result of such cessation, the
Premises or a material portion thereof, is rendered untenantable and Tenant in fact ceases to use
the Premises, or material portion thereof, then Tenant , as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to
receive an abatement of Base Rent payable hereunder during the period beginning on the sixth (6th)
consecutive Business Day after Landlord’s receipt of the Interruption Notice and ending on the day
when the service in question has been restored. In the event the entire Premises has not been
rendered untenantable by the cessation in service, the amount of abatement that Tenant is entitled
to receive shall be equitably prorated based upon the portion of the Premises so rendered
untenantable and not used by Tenant.

Landlord may reasonably require. All Alterations shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike
manner using new materials of equal or greater quality then those then currently used in the
Building. Landlord, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid any disruption to the tenants and
occupants of the Building, shall have the right to designate the time when any Alterations may be
performed and to otherwise designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the
performance of work in the Building. Upon completion of the Alterations, Tenant shall deliver to
Landlord “as-built” plans, contractor’s affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted
bills covering all labor and materials. All Alterations shall comply with the insurance
requirements and with applicable codes, ordinances, laws and regulations. Tenant shall reimburse
Landlord upon demand for all reasonable sums, if any, expended by Landlord for third party
examination of the architectural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing plans for any Alterations. In
addition, if Landlord so requests, Landlord shall be entitled to oversee the construction of any
Alterations that may affect the structure of the Building or any of the mechanical, electrical,
plumbing or life safety systems of the Building. If Landlord elects to oversee such structural
work, Landlord shall be entitled to receive a fee for such oversight in an amount equal to five
percent (5%) of the cost of such Alterations. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans and
specifications for any Alterations performed for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed to be
representation by Landlord that such plans and specifications comply with applicable insurance
requirements, building codes, ordinances, laws or regulations or that the Alterations constructed
in accordance with such plans and specifications will be adequate for Tenant’s use.
10. Use of Electrical Services by Tenant. All electricity used by Tenant in the
Premises shall be paid for by Tenant by a separate charge billed directly to Tenant by the utility
provider or by Landlord based on Landlord’s reading of sub- or check-meters and payable by Tenant
as Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after billing. Landlord shall
have the right at any time and from time-to-time during the Lease Term to contract for
electricity service from such providers of such services as Landlord shall elect (each being an
“Electric Service Provider”). Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord, and the applicable Electric
Service Provider, at all times and, as reasonably necessary, shall allow Landlord and such Electric
Service Provider
11
reasonable access to the Building’s electric lines, feeders, risers, wiring, and any other
machinery within the Premises. Tenant’s use of electrical services furnished by Landlord shall not
exceed in voltage, rated capacity, or overall load (which for the purposes hereof shall not exceed
ten (10) xxxxx per square foot of the Premises that which is reasonably standard for the Building.
In the event Tenant shall request that it be allowed to consume electrical services in excess of
Building standard, Landlord may refuse to consent to such usage or may consent upon such conditions
as Landlord reasonably elects, and all such additional usage shall be paid for by Tenant as
Additional Rent. Landlord, at any time during the Lease Term, and at its sole cost, shall have the
right to separately meter electrical usage for the Premises, in which case electricity shall be
paid directly by Tenant to the utility company providing electrical service, or to measure
electrical usage by survey or any other method that Landlord, in its commercially reasonable
judgment, deems appropriate.
11. Assignment and Subletting.
A.
Except in connection with a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 11 G below), Tenant
shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow any third
party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Without
limitation, it is agreed that Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if:
(1) intentionally deleted; (2) in Landlord’s good faith opinion the transferee’s business or
reputation is not suitable for the Building considering the business and reputation of the other
tenants and the Building’s profile, or the proposed transfer would result in a violation of another
tenant’s rights under its lease at the Building; (3) the transferee is a governmental or
quasi-governmental entity, agency, department or instrumentality; (4) the transferee is an occupant
of the Building (and Landlord has or will have suitable space to accommodate such transferee within
the Building); (5) there is then occurring an Event of Default (beyond any applicable notice or
cure period) under the Lease; (6) any portion of the Building or the Premises would likely become
subject to additional or different laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer; (7) Landlord or
its leasing agent has received a proposal from or made a proposal to the proposed transferee to
lease space in the Building within six (6) months prior to Tenant’s delivery of written notice of
the proposed Transfer to Landlord; (8) intentionally deleted; (9) if such Transfer is not approved
of by the holder of any mortgage on the Building or Property (if such approval is required); (10) a
proposed transferee’s business will impose a burden on the Common Areas or other facilities serving
the Building or the Property that is greater than the burden imposed by Tenant, in Landlord’s good
faith judgment; (11) any guarantor of this Lease refuses to consent to the proposed transfer or to
execute a written agreement reaffirming the guaranty; (12) if requested by Landlord, the transferee
refuses to sign a non-disturbance and attornment agreement in favor of Landlord’s lender; (13)
Landlord has sued or been sued by the proposed transferee or has otherwise been involved in a legal
dispute with the proposed transferee; or (14) the proposed Transfer will result in there being more
than one (1)subtenant of the Premises. Any attempted Transfer in violation of
this Section 11, shall,exercisable in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, be void. Consent by Landlord to one or more
Transfers shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord’s rights to approve any subsequent Transfers.
If Landlord withholds its consent to any Transfer contrary to the
provisions of this Section 11,
Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to seek an injunction in equity to compel performance by Landlord to
give its consent and Tenant expressly waives any right to damages in the event of such
12
withholding by Landlord of its consent. In no event shall any Transfer or Permitted
Transfer release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease or any liability hereunder
and the Tenant named herein shall be and remain fully and primarily liable for the obligations of
Tenant hereunder, and the Tenant shall be deemed to have waived all suretyship defenses.
B. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord (i)
financial statements for the proposed transferee, (ii) a copy of the proposed assignment or
sublease, and (iii) such other information as Landlord may reasonably request. After Landlord’s
receipt of the required information and documentation, Landlord shall either: (1) consent or
reasonably (as more further defined in Section 11A above) refuse consent to
the Transfer in writing; (2) in the event of a proposed assignment of this Lease,
terminate this Lease effective the date that the proposed Transfer will take effect; and (3) in the
event of a proposed subletting, terminate this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises
which Tenant proposes to sublease effective the first to occur of ninety (90) days following
written notice of such termination or the date the proposed Transfer would have come into effect.
Tenant shall pay Landlord a review fee of $1,000.00 for Landlord’s review of any Permitted Transfer
or proposed Transfer. In addition, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual reasonable costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred by Landlord in
connection with Landlord’s review of such proposed Transfer or Permitted Transfer.
C. Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all cash and other consideration which
Tenant receives as a result of a Transfer that is in excess of the rent payable to Landlord
hereunder for the portion of the Premises and Lease Term covered by the Transfer within ten (10)
days following receipt thereof by Tenant provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to deduct (or
“net out”) of such cash and/or other consideration, on an amortized basis over the term of the
proposed Transfer, any separate out-of-pocket payments actually made by Tenant for reasonable
attorney’s fees, broker’s commissions, and market-based rent concessions, demising costs,
alterations or improvements and other market-based inducements, all in connection with such
Transfer.
D. Except as provided below with respect to a Permitted Transfer, if Tenant is a corporation,
limited liability company, partnership or similar entity, and the person, persons or entity which
owns or controls a majority of the voting interests at the time changes for any reason (including
but not limited to a merger, consolidation or reorganization), such change of ownership or control
shall constitute a Transfer. The foregoing shall not apply so long as Tenant is an entity whose
outstanding stock is listed on a nationally recognized security exchange, or if at least eighty
percent (80%) of its voting stock is owned by another entity, the voting stock of which is so
listed.
E. In addition to the foregoing, it shall be a condition of the validity of any such Transfer
(or Permitted Transfer) that the proposed transferee (in the case of an assignment) agrees directly
with Landlord, in form satisfactory to Landlord, to be bound by all the obligations
of Tenant hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Rent and other
amounts provided for under this Lease, the covenant regarding use and the covenant against further
assignment and subletting.
13
F. If the Premises or any part thereof are sublet by Tenant, following the occurrence
of an Event of Default, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided hereunder or at law,
may at its option collect directly from such sublessee(s) all rents becoming due to the Tenant
under such sublease(s) and apply such rent against any amounts due Landlord by Tenant under this
Lease, and Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs such sublessee(s) to so make all such
rent payments, if so directed by Landlord; and it is understood that no such election or collection
or payment shall be construed to constitute a novation of this Lease or a release of Tenant
hereunder, or to create any lease or occupancy agreement between the Landlord and such subtenant or
impose any obligations on Landlord, or otherwise constitute the recognition of such sublease by
Landlord for any purpose whatsoever.
G. Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease or sublet the Premises (i) to any
entity controlling or controlled by or under common control with Tenant or (ii) to any successor to
Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization (hereinafter, collectively, referred to
as “Permitted Transfer”) without the consent of Landlord, provided: (1) there is not then occurring
an Event of Default (or there is not then occurring an event which with passage of time or the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default) under this Lease; (2) if such
proposed transferee is a successor to Tenant by purchase, said proposed transferee shall acquire
all or substantially all of the stock or assets of Tenant’s business or, if such proposed
transferee is a successor to Tenant by merger, consolidation or reorganization, the continuing or
surviving entity shall own all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant; (3) with respect to a
Permitted Transfer to a proposed transferee described in clause (ii), such proposed transferee
shall have a Net Worth (as defined below) which is at least equal to the greater of Tenant’s Net
Worth at the date of this Lease or Tenant’s Net Worth as of the day prior to the proposed purchase,
merger, consolidation or reorganization as evidenced to Landlord’s commercially reasonable
satisfaction; and (4) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice at least ten (10) days prior to the
effective date of the proposed purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization. “Net Worth” of
Tenant for purposes of this section shall be the tangible net worth of Tenant (excluding any
guarantors) established under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.
12. Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant will not permit any mechanic’s liens or other liens to be placed
upon the Property. If a lien is attached to the Property, then, in addition to any other right or
remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same. Any amount
paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes including, but not limited to, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after demand as
Additional Rent. Tenant shall within ten (10) days of receiving such notice of lien or claim have
such lien or claim released of record. Tenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of the
foregoing sentence shall be deemed an Event of Default entitling Landlord to exercise all of its
remedies therefor without the requirement of any additional notice or cure period.
13. Insurance.
A. Landlord shall, at all times during the Lease Term, procure and maintain: (i) policies of
insurance covering loss or damage to the Property in an amount equal to the full replacement cost
of the Building, including leasehold improvements in the Premises, which shall provide protection
against loss by fire and other casualties and risks included in the so-called
14
“special form” coverage including earthquake and flood and such other property insurance as
may be required by Landlord’s mortgagee or as otherwise desired by Landlord, (ii)
commercial general liability insurance applicable to the Building and the Common Areas,
providing a minimum limit of $3,000,000.00 per occurrence, and (iii) any such other insurance
coverages and policies as Landlord determines in its sole but good faith judgment, consistent with
prudent landlord (or lender) requirements of comparable office and laboratory buildings in the
metropolitan Boston market. Any such coverages may be effected directly and/or through the use of
blanket insurance coverage covering more than one location and may contain such commercially
reasonable deductibles as Landlord may elect in its commercially reasonable discretion. The cost
relating to obtaining all such insurance shall be included as part of Basic Costs.
B. Tenant shall procure and maintain, at its expense, (i) special form property insurance in
an amount equal to the full replacement cost of Tenant’s Property located in the Premises; (ii) a
policy or policies of general liability and umbrella or excess liability insurance applying to
Tenant’s operations and use of the Premises, providing a minimum limit of $3,000,000.00 per
occurrence and in the aggregate, containing a contractual liability endorsement or coverage, naming
Landlord, Landlord’s lenders , and Landlord ’s property managers and managing agents as additional
insureds, (iii) automobile liability insurance covering owned, non-owned and hired vehicles in an
amount not less than a combined single limit of $1,000,000.00 per accident, and (iv) workers’
compensation insurance in accordance with the laws of the State in which the Property is located
and employer’s liability insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 each accident,
$1,000,000.00 disease-each employee and policy limit, with the insurance policies required under
this clause (iv) to be endorsed to waive the insurance carriers’ right of subrogation. Tenant shall
maintain the foregoing insurance coverages in effect commencing on the earlier to occur of the
Commencement Date and the date Tenant takes possession of the Premises, and continuing to the end
of the Lease Term (or such longer period as Tenant remains in the Premises (or any portion
thereof)). Landlord may from time to time during the Lease Term increase the coverages required of
Tenant hereunder to that customarily carried in the area in which the Premises are located on
property similar to the
Premises.
C. The insurance requirements set forth in this Section 13 are independent of the waiver,
indemnification, and other obligations under this Lease and will not be construed or interpreted in
any way to restrict, limit or modify the waiver, indemnification and other obligations or to in any
way limit any party’s liability under this Lease. In addition to the requirements set forth in
Sections 13 and 14, the insurance required of Tenant under this Lease must be issued on an
occurrence basis by an insurance company with a rating of no less than A-, VIII in the current Best
’s Insurance Guide or that is otherwise acceptable to Landlord, and admitted to engage in the
business of insurance in the state in which the Building is located; be primary insurance for all
claims under it and provide that any insurance carried by Landlord,
Landlord’s property managers and managing agents, and Landlord’s lenders is strictly excess,
secondary and noncontributing with any insurance carried by Tenant; and provide that insurance may
not be cancelled or nonrenewed, except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord and
Landlord’s lenders (without Tenant providing reasonably satisfactory evidence of replacement
coverage within such thirty (30) day period). Tenant will deliver to Landlord a legally enforceable
certificate of insurance or other satisfactory evidence of coverage on all
15
policies procured by Tenant in compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease on
or before the date Tenant first occupies any portion of the Premises, at least ten (l0) days before
the expiration date of any policy and upon the renewal of any policy. Landlord shall have the right
to approve all deductibles and self-insured retentions under Tenant’s policies, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
D. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable (by way of subrogation or otherwise) to the
other party (or to any insurance company insuring the other party) for any loss or damage to any of
the property of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to their respective property,
the Building, the Property or the Premises or any addition or improvements thereto, or any contents
therein, covered by insurance carried (or required to be carried hereunder) by a party hereto to
the extent of the proceeds of such insurance actually received with respect to such loss or damage
even though such loss might have been occasioned by the negligence or willful acts or omissions of
the Landlord or Tenant or their respective employees, agents, contractors or invitees. Landlord and
Tenant shall give each insurance company which issues policies of insurance, with respect to the
items covered by this waiver, written notice of the terms of this mutual waiver, and shall have
such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of any of the
coverage provided by such insurance policies by reason of such mutual waiver. For the purpose of
the foregoing waiver, the amount of any deductible applicable to any loss or damage shall be deemed
covered, and recoverable, by the insured under the insurance policy to which such deductible
relates.
14. Indemnity.
A. To the maximum extent this agreement may be made effective according to law, Tenant shall
indemnify and save harmless Landlord (together with its officers, directors, stockholders,
partners, beneficial owners, trustees, managers, members, employees, agents, contractors,
attorneys, and mortgagees) from and against all claims of whatever nature arising from: (i) any
act, omission or negligence of Tenant, or Tenant’s contractors, licensees, invitees, agents,
servants or employees (“Tenant’s Agents”), or any Event of Default or failure to perform an
obligation by Tenant hereunder; or (ii) any accident, injury, damage or loss whatsoever caused to
any person or property during the Lease Term, and thereafter, so long as Tenant is in occupancy of
any part of the Premises, and occurring in the Premises, or arising out of the use and occupancy of
the Premises by Tenant and Tenant’s Agents except to the extent due to Landlord’s negligence or
willful misconduct; or (iii) any accident, injury, damage or loss occurring outside of the
Premises, where such accident, injury, damage or loss results or is claimed to have resulted from
the act, omission or negligence of Tenant or Tenant’s Agents. Tenant’s obligations hereunder shall
include any other matters for which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord pursuant to any other
provision of this Lease.
B. To the maximum extent this agreement may be made effective according to law, Landlord shall
indemnify and save harmless Tenant (together with its officers, directors, stockholders, partners,
beneficial owners, trustees, managers, members, employees, agents, contractors and attorneys) from
and against all claims of whatever nature arising from any negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord, or Landlord’s contractors, licensees, invitees, agents, servants or employees
(“Landlord’s Agents”). Landlord’s obligations hereunder shall
16
include any other matters for which Landlord has agreed to indemnify Tenant pursuant to
any other provision of this Lease.
15. Damages from Certain Causes. To the maximum extent this agreement may be made effective
according to law, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or Tenant’s Agents, for any injury to
person or damage to property sustained by Tenant or any such party or any other person claiming
through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in the Premises or any other portion of
the Building caused by the Premises or any other portion of the Building becoming out of repair or
by defect in or failure of equipment, pipes, or wiring, or by broken glass, or by the backing up of
drains, or by gas, water, steam, electricity, or oil leaking, escaping or flowing into the Premises
(except where due to Landlord’s negligent or willful failure to make repairs required to be made
pursuant to other provisions of this Lease, after the expiration of a reasonable time after written
notice to Landlord of the need for such repairs), nor shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any
loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of other tenants of the
Building or of any other persons whomsoever, including, but not limited to riot, strike,
insurrection, war, court, order, requisition, order of any governmental body or authority,
acts of God, fire or theft.
16. Casualty Damage. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other
casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. In case the Building shall
be so damaged that substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Landlord ‘s
sole opinion, be required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such casualty) or
in the event there is less than two (2) years of the Lease Term remaining or in the event
Landlord’s mortgagee should require that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty
be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or in the event of any material uninsured loss to
the Building, Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of
such termination within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty. If Landlord does not thus
elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to
restore the Building, and the improvements located within the Premises to substantially the same
condition in which it was immediately prior to the happening of the casualty. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Landlord’s obligation to restore the Building, and the improvements located within the
Premises shall not require Landlord to expend for such repair and restoration work more than the
insurance proceeds actually received by Landlord as a result of the casualty. When the repairs
described in the preceding two sentences have been completed by Landlord, Tenant shall complete the
restoration of all furniture, fixtures and equipment which are necessary to permit Tenant’s
reoccupancy of the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to
Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair
thereof, except that Rent shall be abated from the date of the damage or destruction until the
Premises has been substantially restored for any portion of the Premises that is unusable by
Tenant, which abatement shall be in the equitable proportion that the Rentable Area of the Premises
which is unusable by Tenant bears to the total Rentable Area of the Premises; provided that Tenant
shall not be entitled to any abatement of Rent if the damage or
destruction within the Premises is restored within five (5) Business Days after Landlord ‘s
receipt of written notice from Tenant of the occurrence of the damage or destruction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such casualty was due to the fault or neglect of Tenant or
Tenant’s employees, contractors or agents, such abatement or reduction shall be made only if and
17
to the extent of any proceeds of rental interruption insurance actually received by
Landlord and allocated to the Premises.
17. Condemnation. If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises or if the Building or
any portion thereof which would leave the remainder of the Building unsuitable for use comparable
to its use on the Commencement Date, or if the land on which the Building is located or any
material portion thereof, shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi public use under
governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in
lieu thereof, then Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease and Rent shall be abated
during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective when the physical taking of said Premises or
said portion of the Building or land shall occur. If this Lease is not terminated, the Rent for any
portion of the Premises so taken or condemned shall be equitably abated during the unexpired Lease
Term effective when the physical taking of said portion of the Premises shall occur. All
compensation awarded for any taking or condemnation, or sale proceeds in lieu thereof, shall be the
property of Landlord, and Tenant shall have no claim thereto, the same being hereby expressly
waived by Tenant, except for any portions of such award or proceeds which are specifically
allocated by the condemning or purchasing party for the taking of or damage to trade fixtures,
leasehold improvements (to the extent paid for by Tenant and taking into account the Improvement
Allowance and Landlord’s reversionary interest therein, if any) of Tenant and moving costs, which
Tenant specifically reserves to itself.
18. Events of Default. The following events shall be deemed to be “Events of Default” under
this Lease: (i) Tenant fails to pay any Rent when due; provided that the first (1st) such failure
during any consecutive twelve (12) month period during the Lease Term shall not be an Event of
Default if Tenant pays the amount due within five (5) business days after Tenant’s receipt of
written notice from Landlord that such payment was not made when due, (ii) Tenant fails
to perform any other provision of this Lease not described in this Section 18, and such failure is
not cured within thirty (30) days (or immediately if the failure involves a hazardous condition)
after notice from Landlord, however, other than with respect to a hazardous condition, if Tenant’s
failure to comply cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Tenant shall be allowed
additional time (not to exceed thirty (30) additional days) as is reasonably necessary to cure the
failure so long as Tenant begins the cure within thirty (30) days and diligently pursues the cure
to completion; (iii) Tenant fails to observe or perform any of the covenants with respect to (a)
assignment and subletting as set forth in Section 11, (b) mechanic’s liens as set forth in Section
12, (c) insurance as set forth in Section 13 or (d) delivering subordination agreements or estoppel
certificates as set forth in Section 24, (iv) the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied upon or
attached under process of law; (v) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease dies or dissolves; (vi)
Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises; or (vii) any voluntary or involuntary proceedings are
filed by or against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws and, in the case of any involuntary proceedings, are not dismissed within sixty (60)
days after filing.
19. Remedies.
A. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the following rights and
remedies, in addition to those allowed by law or equity, anyone or more of
18
which may be exercised without further notice to or demand upon Tenant and which may be
pursued successively or cumulatively as Landlord may elect:
(1) | Landlord may re-enter the Premises and attempt to cure any default of Tenant, in which event Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for all reasonable costs and expenses which Landlord incurs to cure such default; | ||
(2) | Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving to Tenant notice of Landlord’s election to do so, in which event the Lease Term shall end, and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall expire, on the date stated in such notice; and | ||
(3) | Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including recovery of all moneys due or to become due from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease. |
Landlord shall not be required to serve Tenant with any notices or demands as a prerequisite
to its exercise of any of its rights or remedies under this Lease, other than those notices and
demands specifically required under this Lease. LANDLORD’S NOTICE OF ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT MAY SERVE
AS ANY STATUTORY DEMAND OR NOTICE WHICH IS A PREREQUISITE TO LANDLORD’S COMMENCEMENT OF EVICTION
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST TENANT, INCLUDING THE DEMANDS AND NOTICES SPECIFIED IN ANY APPLICABLE
STATE STATUTE OR CASE LAW, AND NO FURTHER NOTICE SHALL BE REQUIRED. TENANT AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT
INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LAWSUIT BROUGHT BY LANDLORD
TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES FOLLOWING LANDLORD’S TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE OR THE RIGHT
OF TENANT TO POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE AND ON ANY CLAIM FOR
DELINQUENT RENT WHICH LANDLORD MAY JOIN IN ITS LAWSUIT TO RECOVER POSSESSION.
B. If Landlord exercises the remedy provided in Section 19A(2), Tenant shall surrender
possession and vacate the Premises and immediately deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and
Landlord may re-enter and take complete and peaceful possession of the Premises, with process of
any applicable law, and Landlord may remove all occupants and property therefrom, using such force
as may be necessary to the extent allowed by law, without being deemed guilty in any manner of
trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to
Rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.
C. If Landlord terminates this Lease as provided in this Section 19, Landlord shall have the
right to immediate recovery of all amounts then due hereunder. Such termination shall not release
Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder for the full Lease
Term, and Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to recover from Tenant, and Tenant
shall remain liable for, all Rent accruing as it becomes due under this Lease during
19
the period from the date of such termination to the stated end of the Lease Term. In
any such case, Landlord shall make reasonable efforts, in accordance with Section 19F hereof, to
relet the Premises. In attempting to relet the Premises, Landlord may make repairs, alterations and
additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the extent reasonably deemed by Landlord
necessary or desirable, and Tenant upon demand shall pay the reasonable cost of all of the
foregoing together with Landlord’s reasonable expenses of reletting. The rents from any such
reletting shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses of reentry, redecoration, repair
and alterations and the expenses of reletting (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and brokers’
fees and commissions) and second to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by Tenant. Any
excess or residue shall operate only as an offsetting credit against the amount of Rent due and
owing as the same thereafter becomes due and payable hereunder.
D. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord as provided in this Section 19, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant all Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such
termination date, as well as all other additional sums payable by Tenant, or for which Tenant is
liable or for which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord, which may be then owing and unpaid,
and all reasonable costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees
incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder. In addition, Landlord
shall be entitled to recover as liquidated damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty
(I) the unamortized portion of any concessions offered by Landlord to Tenant in
connection with this Lease, including without limitation Landlord’s contribution to the cost of
tenant improvements, if any, installed by either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease and/or
any Work Letter in connection with this Lease, (2) the aggregate sum which at the time of such
termination represents the excess, if any, of the present value of the aggregate Rent which would
have been payable after the termination date had this Lease not been terminated, including, without
limitation, the amount projected by Landlord to represent Additional Rent for the remainder of the
Lease Term, over the then present value of the then aggregate fair rent value of the Premises for
the balance of the Lease Term, such present worth to be computed in each case on the basis of a ten
percent (10%) per annum discount from the respective dates upon which such Rent would have been
payable hereunder had this Lease not been terminated, and (3) any damages in addition thereto,
including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, which Landlord sustains as
a result of the breach of any of the covenants of this Lease other than for the payment of Rent.
E. In lieu of any other damages or indemnity and in lieu of full recovery by Landlord of all
sums payable under the other provisions of this Section, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant,
at any time after termination of this Lease or repossession of the Premises, elect to recover, and
Tenant shall thereupon pay, Liquidated Damages. “Liquidated Damages” shall be equal to (a) the
aggregate of the Base Rent and Additional Rent accrued in the twenty-four (24) months ended next
prior to such termination or repossession (but not more that the Base Rent and Additional Rent due
for the then remainder of the Lease Term);
plus (b) the amount of Rent of any kind and the remaining unamortized cost of any Landlord’s
contribution to the cost of tenant improvements, if any, installed by either Landlord or Tenant
pursuant to this Lease and/or any Work Letter in connection with this Lease accrued and unpaid at
the time of termination or repossession. Nothing contained in this Lease shall, however, limit or
prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy or insolvency
by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute
20
or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are
to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss
or damages referred to above.
F. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any damages resulting from
an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease. Landlord’s obligation to mitigate damages after an
Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease shall be satisfied in full if Landlord undertakes to
lease the Premises (or any portion thereof) to another tenant (a
“Substitute Tenant”) in accordance
with the following criteria: (1) Landlord shall have no obligation to 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 relet the Premises free of any claim of Tenant; (2) Landlord shall not
be obligated to lease or show the Premises, on a priority basis, or offer the Premises to a
prospective tenant when other premises in the Building suitable for that prospective tenant’s use
are (or soon will be) available; (3) Landlord shall not be obligated to lease the Premises to a
Substitute Tenant for a rent less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar
uses in comparable buildings in the same market area as the Building, nor shall Landlord be
obligated to enter into a new lease under other terms and conditions that are unacceptable to
Landlord, in Landlord’s good faith discretion; (4) Landlord shall not be obligated to enter into a
lease with a Substitute Tenant whose use would: (i) violate any restriction, covenant, or
requirement contained in the lease of another tenant of the Building; (ii) adversely affect, in
Landlord’s good faith opinion, the reputation of the Building; or (iii) be incompatible, in
Landlord’s good faith opinion, with the operation of the Building; and (5) Landlord shall not be
obligated to enter into a lease with any proposed Substitute Tenant which does not have, in
Landlord’s good faith opinion, sufficient financial resources to operate the Premises in a first
class manner and to fulfill all of the obligations in connection with the lease thereof as and when
the same become due.
G. The receipt by Landlord of less than the full Rent due shall not be construed to be other
than a payment on account of Rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter
accompanying Tenant’s check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such
payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the Rent due or to pursue
any other remedies provided in this Lease. The acceptance by Landlord of Rent hereunder shall not
be construed to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this
Lease. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents during the Lease Term shall be
deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender
shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.
H. In the event of any litigation between Tenant and Landlord to enforce
or interpret any provision of this Lease or to enforce any right of either party hereto, the
unsuccessful party to such litigation shall pay to the successful party all costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred therein. In addition, Landlord shall be entitled to
recover from Tenant any and all reasonable fees (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorney’s fees) incurred in or related to bankruptcy proceedings related to Tenant, including
reasonable fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) incurred in or related
to issues and events that are peculiar to bankruptcy.
21
20. No
Waiver. Failure of either party to declare any default immediately upon its occurrence,
or delay in taking any action in connection with an Event of Default, shall not constitute a waiver
of such default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel against the non-defaulting party, but the
non-defaulting party shall have the right to declare the default at any time and take such action
as is lawful or authorized under this Lease. Failure by non-defaulting party to enforce its rights
with respect to any one default shall not constitute a waiver of its rights with respect to any
subsequent default.
21. Peaceful
Enjoyment. Tenant, upon payment of the Rent and the observing, keeping and
performing all of the covenants, terms and provisions of this Lease on Tenant’s part to be
observed, kept and performed, shall lawfully, peaceably and quietly have, hold, occupy and enjoy
the Premises during the Lease Term, without hindrance or ejection by any persons lawfully claiming
under Landlord to have title to the Premises superior to that of Tenant, subject, however, to the
rights of the holders of mortgages on the Property, and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Lease. The foregoing covenant of quiet enjoyment is in lieu of any other covenant, expressed or
implied.
22. Intentionally
Omitted.
23. Holding
Over. If Tenant continues to occupy the Premises (or any portion thereof) after
the expiration or other termination of this Lease, such occupancy shall be that of a tenancy at
sufferance. Tenant shall, throughout the entire holdover period, be subject to all the terms and
provisions of this Lease and shall pay for its use and occupancy an amount (on a per diem basis
without reduction for any partial months during any such holdover) equal to one hundred fifty
percent (150%) of the Base Rent and one hundred percent (100%) of the Additional Rent due under
this Lease for the last full month of the Lease Term hereof during the first sixty (60) days of
such holdover, and two hundred percent (200%) of such Base Rent and one hundred percent (100%) of
the Additional Rent thereafter during such holdover. No holding over by Tenant or payments of money
by Tenant to Landlord after the expiration of the Lease Term shall be construed to extend the Lease
Term or prevent Landlord from recovery of immediate possession of the Premises by summary
proceedings or otherwise. Tenant shall also be liable to Landlord for all reasonably foreseeable
direct and consequential damages which Landlord may suffer by reason of any holding over by Tenant.
24.
Subordination to Mortgage; Estoppel Certificate. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and
subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other lien presently existing or
hereafter arising upon the Premises, or upon the Building or the Property and to any renewals,
modifications, refinancings and extensions thereof, but Tenant agrees that any such mortgagee shall
have the right at any time to subordinate such mortgage, deed of trust or other lien to this Lease
on such terms and subject to such conditions as such mortgagee may
deem appropriate in its discretion. The provisions of the foregoing sentence shall be self
operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. However, Landlord is hereby
irrevocably vested with full power and authority to subordinate this Lease to any mortgage, deed of
trust or other lien now existing or hereafter placed upon the Premises, or the Building or the
Property and Tenant agrees within ten (10) days after written demand to execute such further
instruments subordinating this Lease or attorning to the holder of any such liens as Landlord may
request. If Tenant fails to execute any subordination or other agreement required by this Section
22
promptly as requested, same shall be considered a default by Tenant hereunder. Tenant
agrees that it shall from time-to-time furnish within ten (10) days after so requested by Landlord,
a certificate signed by Tenant certifying as to such matters relating to the status and performance
of the parties to this Lease as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, and Tenant’s failure to
furnish such certificate within the aforesaid 10-day period shall be deemed to constitute Tenant’s
certification of the matters set forth in the certificate as furnished to Tenant. Any such
certificate may be relied upon by any ground lessor, prospective purchaser, secured party,
mortgagee or any beneficiary under any mortgage, deed of trust on the Building or the Property or
any part thereof or interest of Landlord therein. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with a
non-disturbance agreement from Landlord’s current lender in such lender’s current standard form
within forty-five(45) days of the Commencement Date.
25. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Lease or by law shall be
deemed to have been given if it is written and delivered in person or mailed by Registered or
Certified mail, postage prepaid, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service to
the party who is to receive such notice at the address specified in Section 1 of this Lease (and,
if no address is listed for Tenant, notices to Tenant shall be delivered to the Premises). When so
mailed, the notice shall be deemed to have been given three (3) Business Days after the date it was
mailed. When sent by overnight delivery service, the notice shall be deemed to have been given on
the next Business Day after deposit with such overnight delivery service. The address specified in
Section 1 of this Lease may be changed from time to time by giving written notice thereof to the
other party.
26. Surrender of Premises. Upon the termination of the Lease Term, Tenant will at once
surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and
tear excepted. Tenant shall surrender to Landlord all keys, security and access cards and codes to
the Premises and make known to Landlord the combination of all combination locks which Tenant is
required to leave on the Premises. For purposes of this Lease, the terms “reasonable wear and tear”
and “ordinary wear and tear” constitute that normal, gradual deterioration which occurs due to
aging and ordinary use of the Premises despite reasonable and timely maintenance and repair, but in
no event shall the aforementioned terms excuse Tenant from its duty to keep the Premises in good
maintenance and repair or otherwise usable, serviceable and tenantable as required in the Lease. In
the event that the Premises has been used as a laboratory or R&D facility beyond the use (or scope
of such use) as currently used as of the date of this Lease, Tenant may also be required to cause
the Premises to be cleaned and decommissioned in accordance with, as applicable, the regulations of
the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and/or the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for the
control of radiation, or the best practices and recommendations relating to laboratory
decommissioning by industrial hygienists, to 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 (including visual inspection, Xxxxxx counter evaluation, airborne and
surface evaluation, and evaluation of piping , supply lines, waste lines and plumbing, and all such
exhaust or other ductwork in and/or exclusively serving the Premises) and found no evidence that
such portion contains hazardous materials, or is otherwise in violation of any environmental law.
In addition, in the event that the Premises has been used as a laboratory or R&D facility, Tenant
shall provide Landlord with a copy of its most current chemical waste removal manifest
23
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 Tenant first took occupancy of the Premises remain in the Premises.
27. Rights Reserved to Landlord. Landlord reserves the following rights, exercisable without
notice, except as provided herein, and without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to
property, person or business and without affecting an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or
possession or giving rise to any claim for setoff or abatement of rent or affecting any of Tenant’s
obligations under this Lease: (1) upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to change the name or street
address of the Building; (2) to install and maintain signs on the exterior and interior of the
Building; (3) to designate and approve window coverings to present a uniform exterior appearance;
(4) to retain at all times and to use in appropriate instances, pass keys, key cards, access codes,
etc. to all locks and security devices within and to the Premises; (5) to approve the weight, size,
or location of heavy equipment, or articles within the Premises; (6) to change the arrangement and
location of entrances of passageways, doors and doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets and
public parts of the Building, Project or Property; (7) to regulate access to telephone, electrical
and other utility closets in the Building and to require use of approved contractors, with such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld for any work involving access to the same; (8)
intentionally omitted; (9) to grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business or
undertaking in the Building provided Landlord’s exercise of its rights under this clause (9), shall
not be deemed to prohibit Tenant from the operation of its business in the Premises; (10) to enter
the Premises to inspect the same or to show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees,
tenants (during the last twelve months of the Lease Term) or insurers, or to clean or make repairs,
alterations or additions thereto, provided that, except for any entry in an emergency situation or
to provide normal cleaning and janitorial service, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable
prior notice of any entry into the Premises; and (11) to temporarily close the Premises or the
Building to perform repairs, alterations or additions in the Premises or the Building. In
exercising its rights under this Section 27, Landlord shall make commercially reasonable efforts to
avoid unreasonably interfering with Tenant’s business operations in the Premises.
28. Miscellaneous.
A. If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof, shall, to any extent,
be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or
provision, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid
and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
B. Tenant agrees not to record this Lease, but, if required by applicable law in
order to protect Tenant’s interest in the Premises, each party hereto agrees, on the request of the
other, to execute a so-called memorandum of lease or notice of lease in
recordable form and complying with applicable law and reasonably satisfactory to Landlord’s
attorneys. In no event shall such document set forth the Rent or other charges payable by Tenant
under this Lease; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the
provisions contained in this Lease and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this
Lease.
24
C. This Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be
interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state in which the
Building is located.
D. The term “Force Majeure” shall mean strikes, riots, acts of God, shortages of labor or
materials, war, acts of terrorism, governmental laws, regulations or restrictions, or any other
cause whatsoever beyond the control of Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. Whenever a period of
time is herein prescribed for the taking of any action by Landlord or Tenant (other than the
payment of Rent and all other such sums of money as shall become due hereunder), such party shall
not be liable or responsible for, and there shall be excluded from the computation of such period
of time, any delays due to events of Force Majeure.
E. Except as expressly otherwise herein provided, with respect to all required acts of Tenant,
time is of the essence of this Lease.
F. Landlord shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole or in part, all of its
rights and obligations hereunder and in the Building, Project or Property referred to herein, and
in such event and upon such transfer Landlord shall be released from any further obligations
hereunder, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such successor in interest of Landlord for the
performance of such obligations.
G. Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that it has dealt directly with and only with the
Broker as a broker in connection with this Lease. Landlord and Tenant hereby indemnify and hold
each other harmless against any loss, claim, expense or liability with respect to any commissions
or brokerage fees claimed by any broker or finder other than the Broker on account of the execution
and/or renewal of this Lease due to any action of the indemnifying party.
H. If there is more than one Tenant, or if Tenant as such is comprised of more than one person
or entity, the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several obligations of
all such parties. All notices, payments, and agreements given or made by, with or to anyone of such
persons or entities shall be deemed to have been given or made by, with or to all of them.
I. Tenant acknowledges that the financial capability of Tenant to perform its obligations
hereunder is material to Landlord and that Landlord would not enter into this Lease but for its
belief, based on its review of Tenant’s financial statements, that Tenant is capable of performing
such financial obligations. Tenant hereby represents warrants and certifies to Landlord that its
financial statements previously furnished to Landlord were at the time given true and correct in
all material respects and that there have been no material subsequent changes thereto as of the
date of this Lease.
J. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the
expiration of the Lease Term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, shall not relieve Tenant from
Tenant’s obligations accruing prior to the expiration of the Lease Term, and such obligations
shall survive any such expiration or other termination of the Lease Term. Without limiting the
scope of the prior sentence, it is agreed that Tenant’s obligations under Articles 3, 4,
25
7, 14, 15, 19, 23, 26, 28G, 32 and 33, shall survive the expiration or early termination of
this Lease.
K. Landlord and Tenant understand, agree and acknowledge that (i) this Lease has been freely
negotiated by both parties; and (ii) in any controversy, dispute or contest over the meaning,
interpretation, validity, or enforceability of this Lease or any of its terms or conditions, there
shall be no inference, presumption, or conclusion drawn whatsoever against either party by virtue
of that party having drafted this Lease or any portion thereof.
L. The headings and titles to the paragraphs of this Lease are for convenience
only and shall have no affect upon the construction or interpretation of any part hereof. The term
“including” shall be deemed to mean “including without limitation”.
M. This Lease shall be construed as though Landlord’s covenants contained herein are
independent and not dependent and Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any statute or case law to
the contrary. All provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, including
Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent, are both covenants and conditions and shall be absolute,
unconditional, and shall not be discharged or otherwise affected by any law or regulation now or
hereafter applicable to the Premises, or any other restriction on Tenant’s use, or, except as may
be expressly provided in the Lease; and Tenant waives all rights now or hereafter existing to quit
or surrender this Lease or the Premises or any part thereof, or to assert any defense in the nature
of constructive eviction to any action seeking to recover Rent.
29. No Offer. Landlord has delivered a copy of this Lease to Tenant for Tenant’s review only,
and the delivery hereof does not constitute an offer to Tenant or an option. This Lease shall not
be effective until an original of this Lease executed by both Landlord and Tenant and an original
Guaranty, if applicable, executed by each Guarantor is delivered to and accepted by Landlord, and
this Lease has been approved by Landlord’s mortgagee, if required.
30. Entire Agreement. This Lease, including the Exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Lease and
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties related to the Premises,
including all lease proposals, letters of intent and similar documents. Tenant expressly
acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has not made and is not making, and Tenant, in executing and
delivering this Lease, is not relying upon, any warranties, representations, promises or
statements, except to the extent that the same are expressly set forth in this Lease. This Lease
may be modified only by a written agreement signed by Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant
expressly agree that there are and shall be no implied warranties of merchantability, habitability,
suitability, fitness for a particular purpose or of any other kind arising out of this Lease, all
of which are hereby waived by Tenant, and that there are no warranties which extend beyond those
expressly set forth in this Lease.
31. Limitation of Liability. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited
solely to its interest in the Property, and in no event shall any personal liability be asserted
against Landlord, its members, or their respective members, partners, shareholders, officers,
directors, agents or employees, in connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be
26
had to any other property or assets of Landlord, its members, or their respective members,
partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents or employees.
32. Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of
Landlord’s obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform such
obligations within thirty (30) days, or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct
any such default, after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has
failed to perform any such obligation. It is the express understanding and agreement of the parties
and a condition of Landlord’s agreement to execute this Lease that in no event shall Tenant have
the right to terminate this Lease or seek an abatement to or offset from Base Rent or Additional
Rent as a result of Landlord’s default, but Tenant shall be entitled to seek all other remedies, at
law or equity, as a result of such default. Tenant hereby waives its right to recover punitive,
special or consequential damages, or to recover any lost profits resulting from or arising out of
any act, omission or default by Landlord (or any party for whom Landlord is responsible). This
Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall not be affected or impaired because Landlord is
unable to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such inability or
delay is caused by reason of a Force Majeure event, and the time for Landlord’s performance shall
be extended for the period of any such delay. Any claim, demand, right or defense by Tenant that
arises out of this Lease or the negotiations which preceded this Lease shall be barred unless
Tenant commences an action thereon, or interposes a defense by reason thereof, within twelve (12)
months after the date of the inaction, omission, event or action that gave rise to such claim,
demand, right or defense.
33. OFAC Certification. Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September
24, 2001 (the “Executive Order”), and the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing
Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (Public Law 10756, the
“Patriot Act”) prohibit certain property transfers. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to
Landlord (which representations and warranties shall be deemed to be continuing and re-made at all
times during the Lease Term) that neither Tenant nor any stockholder, manager, beneficiary,
partner, or principal of Tenant is subject to the Executive Order, that none of them is listed on
the United States Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) list of
“Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” as modified from time to time, and that none
of them is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Executive Order or the Patriot Act. The most
current list of “Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons” can be found at
xxxx://xxx.xxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxx/xxx/xxxxx.xxxx. Tenant shall from time to time, within ten
days after request by Landlord, deliver to Landlord any certification or other evidence requested
from time to time by Landlord in its reasonable discretion, confirming Tenant’s compliance with
these provisions. No assignment or subletting shall be effective unless and until the assignee or
subtenant thereunder delivers to Landlord written confirmation of such party’s compliance with the
provisions of this Section, in form and
content satisfactory to Landlord. If for any reason the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section, or any certificate or other evidence of compliance delivered to Landlord
hereunder, is untrue in any respect when made or delivered, or thereafter becomes untrue in any
respect, then an Event of Default hereunder shall be deemed to occur immediately, and there shall
be no opportunity to cure. Tenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel reasonably acceptable to
Landlord, and hold Landlord harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, losses claims,
damages, penalties, fines, and costs (including attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or related
27
to the breach of any of the foregoing representations, warranties, and duties of Tenant. The
provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for
the longest period permitted by law.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the day and year first
above written.

Taxes for any Tax Fiscal Year be less than zero. Prior to the Commencement Date, or as soon as
practical thereafter, and prior to January 1 of each calendar year during the Lease Term, or as
soon as practical thereafter, Landlord shall make a good faith estimate of (1) Basic Costs for the
applicable full or partial calendar year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof and (2) Taxes for the
applicable full or partial Tax Fiscal Year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof. On or before the
first day of each month during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, a
monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of (1) Landlord’s estimate of
the amount by which Basic Costs for the applicable calendar year will exceed Basic Costs for the
Base Year, and (2) Landlord’s estimate of the amount by which Taxes for the applicable Tax Fiscal
Year will exceed Taxes for the Base Year. Landlord shall have the right from time to time to
reasonably revise the estimate of Basic Costs and Taxes and provide Tenant with a revised
statements therefor (provided, however, Landlord agrees that Landlord shall not issue a revised
statement more than twice in any calendar year for Basic Costs and twice in any Tax Fiscal Year for
Taxes), and thereafter the amount Tenant shall pay each month shall be based upon such revised
estimate. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the Basic Costs and/or Taxes by
January 1 of any calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay a monthly installment based on the
previous year’s estimate until such time as Landlord provides Tenant with an estimate of Basic
Costs and/or Taxes for the current year. Upon receipt of such current year’s estimate, an
adjustment shall be made for any month during the current year with respect to which Tenant paid
monthly installments of Additional Rent based on the previous year’s estimate. Tenant shall pay
Landlord for any underpayment within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s written demand. Any
overpayment of Additional Rent shall, at Landlord’s option, be refunded to Tenant or credited
against the installments of Additional Rent next coming due under the Lease. Any amount paid by
Tenant based on any estimate shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to Paragraph B below when
actual Basic Costs or actual Taxes, as applicable, are determined.
B. As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar year during the Lease Term,
Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement of Landlord’s actual Basic Costs and Taxes for the
previous calendar year and Tax Fiscal Year. If for any calendar year (or, as applicable, Tax Fiscal
Year) the Additional Rent collected for the prior year, as a result of Landlord’s estimate of Basic
Costs or Taxes, is in excess of Tenant ‘s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which Basic Costs or
Taxes, as applicable, for such prior year exceeds Basic Costs or
1
Taxes for the Base Year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment (or at
Landlord’s option apply such amount against Additional Rent due or to become due hereunder).
Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days of demand therefor, any
underpayment with respect to the prior year whether or not the Lease has terminated prior to receipt by Tenant
of a statement for such underpayment, it being understood that this clause shall survive the
expiration of the Lease.
C. “Basic Costs” shall mean all reasonable direct and indirect costs, expenses paid and
disbursements of every kind (subject to the limitations set forth below), which Landlord incurs,
pays or becomes obligated to pay in each calendar year in connection with operating, maintaining,
repairing, owning and managing the Building and the Property, Basic Costs shall include, without
limitation, insurance premiums and deductibles, a management fee and the amortized cost of capital
improvements, determined, if applicable, in accordance with generally applied accounting principles
(GAAP),made to the Building or the Property which are (i) primarily for the purpose of reducing
operating expense costs or otherwise improving the operating efficiency of the Property or
Building; or (ii) required to comply with any laws, rules or regulations of any governmental
authority or a requirement of Landlord’s insurance carrier; or (iii) primarily for the purpose of
improving security at the Property or the Building. The cost of such capital improvements shall be
amortized over the useful life thereof, as reasonably determined in accordance with GAAP, and
shall, at Landlord’s option, include interest at a market rate that is reasonably equivalent to the
interest rate that Landlord would be required to pay to finance the cost of the capital improvement
in question as of the date such capital improvement is performed. Basic Costs shall also include:
(x) the costs incurred by Landlord in operating, maintaining, repairing, insuring and paying
personal property taxes upon any common facilities of the Property (including, without limitation,
the common facilities from time to time serving the Property in common with other buildings or
parcels of land), such as any so-called “loop” access roads, retention ponds, sewer and other
utility lines, amenities and the like; (y) the costs incurred by Landlord in operating and
maintaining shuttle bus service (if and so long as Landlord shall provide the same); and (z)
payments made by Landlord under any easement, license, operating agreement, declaration,
restrictive covenant, or instrument pertaining to the Property.
D. Basic Costs shall not include the following: (i) costs of alterations of tenant spaces
(including all tenant improvements to such spaces); (ii) costs of capital improvements, except as
provided in Paragraph C above; (iii) depreciation, interest and principal payments on mortgages,
and other debt costs, if any; (iv) real estate brokers’ leasing commissions or compensation and
advertising and other marketing expenses; (v) costs of other services or work performed for the
singular benefit of another tenant or occupant (other than for Common Areas); (vi) legal, space
planning, construction, and other expenses incurred in procuring tenants for the Building or
renewing or amending leases with existing tenants or occupants of the Building; (vii) costs of
advertising and public relations and promotional costs and attorneys’ fees associated with the
leasing of the Building; (viii) any expense for which Landlord actually receives reimbursement from
insurance, condemnation awards, other tenants, (other than through the payment of additional rent
under such tenants’ leases) or any other source; (ix) costs incurred in connection with the sale,
financing, refinancing, mortgaging, or other change of ownership of the Building; (x) rental under
any ground or underlying lease or
2
leases; (xi) Taxes; and (xii) Environmental testing, boring, drilling on or around the
Premises or Building.
E. “Taxes” shall mean (i) all real estate taxes and assessments on the Property,
the Building or the Premises, and taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation
in whole or in part of such taxes, (ii) all personal property taxes for the Building’s personal
property, including license expenses, (iii) all taxes imposed on services of Landlord’s agents and employees, (iv) all sales, use or other tax, excluding state and/or
federal income tax now or hereafter imposed by any governmental authority upon rent received by
Landlord, (v) all other taxes, fees or assessments now or hereafter levied by any governmental
authority on the Property, the Building or its contents or on the operation and use thereof (except
as relate to specific tenants), and (vi) all reasonable costs and fees incurred in connection with
seeking reductions in or refunds in Taxes including, without limitation, any costs incurred by
Landlord to challenge the tax valuation of the Building, but excluding income taxes. Estimates of
real estate taxes and assessments for any Tax Fiscal Year during the Lease Term shall be determined
based on Landlord’s good faith estimate of the real estate taxes and assessments. Taxes and
assessments hereunder are those accrued with respect to such Tax Fiscal Year, as opposed to the
real estate taxes and assessments paid or payable for such Tax Fiscal Year.
F. If the Building and the other buildings Landlord operates in conjunction therewith, if any,
are not at least ninety-five percent (95%) occupied, in the aggregate, during any calendar year of
the Lease Term or if Landlord is not supplying services to at least ninety-five percent (95%) of
the Rentable Area of the Building and such other buildings, if any, at any time during any calendar
year of the Lease Term, actual Basic Costs for purposes hereof shall be determined as if the
Building and such other buildings had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and Landlord had been
supplying services to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building and such other
buildings during such year. If Basic Costs for any calendar year during the Lease Term are
determined as provided in the foregoing sentence, Basic Costs for the Base Year shall also be
determined as if the Building and such other buildings, if any, had been ninety-five percent (95%)
occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area
of the Building and such other buildings.
G. Tenant may, at Tenant’s expense and during weekday Normal Business Hours, but only one time
with respect to any operating year, review Landlord’s invoices and statements relating to the Basic
Costs for the applicable operating year for the purpose of verifying the Basic Costs and Tenant’s
Pro Rata Share thereof; provided that notice of Tenant’s desire to so review is given to Landlord
not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant receives an annual statement from Landlord, and
provided that such review is thereafter commenced and prosecuted by Tenant with due diligence.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Tenant’s review determines that the Basic Costs for the
applicable operating year were misstated, Tenant may then review Landlord’s invoices and statements
relating to the Basic Costs for up to the prior two (2) years for the purposes of verifying the
Basic Costs for such prior year(s) and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof as provided hereunder. Any
Basic Costs statement or accounting by Landlord shall be binding and conclusive upon Tenant unless
(i) Tenant duly requests such review within such 30-day period, and (ii) within three (3) months
after such review request, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing that Tenant disputes the
correctness of such statement, specifying the particular respects in which the statement is claimed
to be incorrect. Tenant shall
3
have no right to conduct a review or to give Landlord notice that it desires to conduct a
review at any time Tenant is in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure
period. The accountant conducting the review shall (x) be a qualified lease auditor having at least
five (5) years applicable experience, and (y) be compensated on an hourly basis and shall not be
compensated based upon a percentage of overcharges it discovers or other contingency. No subtenant
shall have any right to conduct a review, and no assignee shall conduct a review for any period
during which such assignee was not in possession of the Premises. Tenant agrees that all
information obtained from any such Basic Costs review, including without limitation, the results of
any Basic Costs review shall be kept strictly confidential by Tenant and shall not be disclosed
to any other person or entity.
H. Basic Costs that are incurred jointly for the benefit of the Building and another
building or premises on the Property may be allocated between the Building and the other building
or premises in accordance with the ratio of their respective rentable areas calculated using a
consistent methodology, unless the other building or premises is used for a purpose materially
different than the Building, in which case the affected cost items may be allocated on a
commercially reasonable basis. If at any time during the Term, Landlord provides services only with
respect to particular portions of the Building or Property or incurs other Basic Costs allocable to
particular portions of the Building Property, then such Basic Costs may be
charged entirely to those tenants, including Tenant, if applicable, of such portions,
notwithstanding the provisions hereof referring to Tenant’s Pro Rata Share.

EXHIBIT D
WORK LETTER
1. Initial Alterations. Following the delivery of possession of the Premises to
Tenant and Tenant’s payment of all Rent and security deposits required to be paid upon the
execution of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to perform certain alterations and improvements
in the Premises (the “Initial Alterations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant and its
contractors shall not have the right to perform Initial Alterations in the Premises unless and
until Tenant has complied with all of the terms and conditions of Section 9B of the Lease,
including, without limitation, approval by Landlord of (a) the final plans for the Initial
Alterations, (b) the contractors to be retained by Tenant to perform such Initial Alterations, and
(c) the insurance coverage obtained by Tenant and its contractors in connection with the Initial
Alterations. The final plans and specifications for the Initial Alterations presented to Landlord
for approval shall be accompanied by a certificate from an AIA architect or licensed engineer that
such plans and specifications comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, codes and
regulations affecting the Building, Property and Premises. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed as to nonstructural Alterations
(nonstructural Alterations being those that do not affect the Building’s structure, roof, exterior
or mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety or other Building systems or architectural design,
character or use of the Building, Project or Premises). Within fourteen (14) days after receipt of
the plans (unless the response reasonably requires a longer time), Landlord shall return one set of
prints thereof with Landlord’s approval and/or required modifications noted thereon. If Landlord
has approved such plans subject to modifications, such modifications shall be deemed to be
acceptable to and approved by Tenant unless Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised plans for
further consideration by Landlord within fourteen (14) days. If Landlord has required modifications
without approving the applicable plans, Tenant shall prepare and resubmit revised plans within
fourteen (14) days for consideration by Landlord. All revised plans shall be submitted, with
changes highlighted, and Landlord shall approve or disapprove such revised drawings within fourteen
(14) days following receipt of the same. The foregoing submission process shall continue until
Landlord has approved the plans. The final, approved plans shall constitute the “Final Plans.”
Tenant shall be responsible for all elements of the Final Plans for the Initial Alterations
(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 such plans shall in no event
relieve Tenant of the responsibility therefor. Upon Landlord’s approval of the Final Plans,
Tenant shall not materially modify, amend or alter the Final Plans (or any Initial Alterations
shown thereon) without Landlord’s prior written approval. Landlord will not unreasonably withhold
or delay its approval of any requested modifications, amendments or alterations to Final Plans (or
any Initial Alterations shown thereon) requested by Tenant, and (unless the response reasonably
requires a longer time) Landlord shall respond within fourteen (14) days to Tenant’s request. Any
material changes in the Initial Improvements from Final Plans as approved by Landlord shall be
subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed
as to nonstructural Alterations. Any deviation (other than immaterial changes that do not affect
the quality or nature of the improvements or require an alteration in any Building mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, fire or life-safety systems or Landlord’s permits and approvals) in
construction from the Final Plans as approved by Landlord
1
shall, at Landlord’s election, constitute a default for which Landlord may, after
applicable notice and cure periods, elect to exercise the remedies available in the event of
default under the provisions of this Lease, unless such default is cured in accordance with and in
the time periods set forth in the Lease.
2. Tenant’s Cost. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease, Tenant agrees
to accept the Premises in its “as-is” condition and configuration, without representation or
warranty by Landlord or anyone acting on Landlord’s behalf, it being agreed that Landlord shall not
be required to perform any work or, except as provided below with respect to the Improvement
Allowance, incur any costs in connection with the construction or demolition of any improvements in
the Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant currently occupies the Premises and is fully and
completely aware of their condition, and that Tenant is completely and independently familiar with
the Premises, including without limitation the Building, and is accepting the Premises in their “as
is” condition as set forth above, subject to the terms and conditions of the Lease.
3. Upon Approval. After Landlord’s approval of the Final Plans by Landlord, Tenant
shall proceed promptly to commence construction of the Initial Alterations in accordance with the
Final Plans, the Lease and this Work Letter. Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors shall be
licensed and be acceptable to and approved in writing by Landlord, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, and shall, at Landlord’s option, be subject to administrative
supervision by Landlord in their use of the Building. Landlord’s approval of the general contractor
to perform the Initial Alterations shall not be considered to be unreasonably withheld if any such
general contractor (a) does not have trade references reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (b) does
not maintain insurance as reasonably required by Landlord, (c) does not have the ability to be
bonded for the work in an amount satisfactory to Landlord, (d) is not acceptable to Landlord based
on such contractor’s past performance in the Building or other properties, or (e) is not licensed
as a contractor in the state and municipality in which the Premises is located. At Landlord’s
request, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a copy of the executed contract and applicable detailed
cost schedule (and applicable back-up material as reasonably requested by Landlord) between Tenant
and Tenant’s contractor covering all of Tenant’s obligations under this Work Letter. Tenant shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such work to be performed in as efficient a manner as
is commercially reasonable. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from and reimburse Landlord on demand
for the cost of repairing any damage to the Building caused by Tenant or its contractors during
performance of the Initial Alterations. Tenant’s contractor(s) shall
conduct their work and employ labor in such manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations
and to coordinate their activities with Landlord’s contractors so as not to interfere with any work
in or about the Project or the Building and shall be subject to reasonable scheduling requirements
of Landlord.
4. Tenant’s Contractors. Tenant acknowledges that it has engaged (or shall engage) its
architects and contractors and Tenant shall be solely responsible for the actions and omissions of
its architects and contractors or for delays caused by its architects or contractors. Landlord’s
approval of any of Tenant’s architects or contractors and of any documents prepared by any of them
shall not be for the benefit of Tenant or any third party or be construed as a representation or
warranty as to the suitability or legal compliance of same, and Landlord shall have no duty to
Tenant or to any third parties for the actions or omissions of Tenant’s architects or contractors.
2
Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against any and all losses, costs, damages,
claims and liabilities arising from the actions or omissions of Tenant’s architects and
contractors.
5. Prior to Commencement. Prior to commencing Tenant’s Improvements, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord the following:
(a) The address of Tenant’s contractor(s), and the names of the primary subcontractors
Tenant’s contractor intends to engage for the construction of the Tenant’s Improvements and Notices
of Identification from each such entity pursuant to M.G.L. c.254, §4.
(b) The estimated commencement date of construction and the estimated date of completion of
the work, including fixturization.
(c) Certificates of insurance evidencing that Tenant and Tenant’s contractor(s) have in effect
(and shall maintain at all times during the course of the construction of Tenant’s Improvements
hereunder) workers’ compensation insurance to cover full liability under workers’ compensation laws
of the state in which the Project is located with employers’ liability coverage; commercial general
liability for the hazards of operations, independent contractors, products and completed operations
(on a per occurrence basis) including contractual liability coverage specifically covering the
indemnification provision in the construction contract, broad form property damage and coverage for
explosion, collapse and underground hazards, “personal injury” liability insurance and an
endorsement providing that the insurance afforded under the contractor’s policy is primary
insurance as respects Landlord and Tenant and that any other insurance maintained by Landlord or
Tenant is excess and non-contributing with the insurance required hereunder, provided that such
insurance may be written through primary or umbrella insurance policies with a minimum policy limit
of $3,000,000.00; “all-risk” builder’s risk insurance in the completed value (non-reporting) form
providing coverage even after “partial occupancy” of the Building including similar “floater”
insurance on all materials stored off the Property or in transit thereto; and any other insurance
required under the Lease. All such property coverages shall be maintained in an amount equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of all of the Initial Alterations and Tenant’s
contents therein and in any event, in an amount sufficient to prevent
any insured party from incurring any co-insurance liability. Landlord, Landlord’s lender and
Tenant are to be included as an additional insured for insurance coverages required of the general
contractor. All inspections and approvals necessary and appropriate to complete Tenant’s
Improvements in accordance with the Final Plans and as necessary to obtain a certificate of
occupancy as herein provided are the responsibility of Tenant and its contractor(s). Tenant shall
arrange a meeting prior to the commencement of construction between Landlord (and its contractor)
and Tenant’s contractors for the purpose of organizing and coordinating the completion of the
Initial Alterations.
(d) An executed copy of any applicable building permit for such work.
6. Upon Completion. Upon completion of the Initial Alterations, Tenant shall
furnish Landlord:
3
(a) a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the Town of Andover and other evidence satisfactory
to Landlord that Tenant has obtained the governmental approvals necessary to permit occupancy of
the Premises for the Permitted Use; and
(b) the certification of Tenant and its architect that the Initial Alterations have been
installed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the approved Final Plans, and in
accordance with applicable laws, codes and ordinances
(c) a notarized affidavit from Tenant’s contractor(s) that all amounts due for work done and
materials furnished in completing Tenant’s Improvements have been paid; and
(d) final releases of liens satisfactory in form and substance to Landlord from all
contractors, subcontractors or material suppliers that have been involved in the performance of the
Initial Alterations; and
(e) two (2) complete sets of as-built plans (one (1) reproducible) and specifications covering
all of the Initial Alterations, including architectural, electrical, and plumbing, with a list and
description of all work performed by the contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers, with
all changes or modifications listed thereon.
7. Damage to Building. Tenant shall also be responsible for the cost of any
alterations or repairs to the Building required as a result of Initial Alterations. Any damage to
the existing finishes of the Building shall be patched and repaired by Tenant, at its expense, and
all such work shall be done to Landlord’s satisfaction. If any patched and painted area does not
match the original surface, then the entire surface shall be repainted at Tenant’s expense. To the
maximum extent this agreement may be made effective according to law, Tenant agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless Landlord, its agents, and employees from and against any and all costs, expenses,
damage, loss, or liability, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs,
which arise out of, is occasioned by, or is in any way attributable to the build-out of the
Premises by Tenant pursuant to this Work Letter.
8. Payment of Costs for the Initial Alterations: Improvement Allowance. Subject to the
Improvement Allowance set forth herein, Tenant shall pay all of the costs and expenses of the
Initial Alterations (which cost shall include, without limitation, the costs of
construction, the cost of permits and permit expediting, and all architectural and engineering
services obtained by Tenant in connection therewith). Landlord will provide Tenant an allowance
(the “Improvement Allowance”) of Ten 00/100 Dollars ($10.00) per square foot of Rentable Area of
the Premises, not to exceed One Hundred Twenty-One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars
($121,500.00). The Improvement Allowance shall be utilized first for so-called “hard” costs and
building improvements to the Premises pursuant to the Final Plans and then for so-called “soft”
costs limited to architectural and design costs, construction or project management fees,
reasonable moving costs, and cabling and telecommunication fees relating directly to Tenant’s
fit-up of and/or move into the Premises. So long as Tenant is not in default of the Lease beyond
any applicable notice or cure period, payment of the Improvement Allowance shall be paid by
Landlord to Tenant, based upon requests for payment submitted by Tenant not more often than
monthly. Each request for payment shall be accompanied by a written certification satisfactory to
Landlord by Tenant’s architect that all work up to the date of the request for
4
payment has been completed, along with the releases (partial or complete) of liens from
all of Tenant’s contractors and subcontractors for all work done and materials furnished up to the
date of Tenant’s request for payment and Tenant’s final request for payment shall also be
accompanied by the applicable items required under Section 6, above, along with any other support
documentation reasonably required by Landlord in connection therewith. Any and all costs for the
construction of the Premises above the Improvement Allowance shall be paid by Tenant to the
applicable contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers. Landlord reserves the right to make
any payment (or portion thereof) of the Improvement Allowance payable jointly to Tenant and its
general contractor (or subcontractor or supplier) or directly to such contractor, subcontractor or
supplier. In the event Tenant does not use the entire Improvement Allowance, then so long as Tenant
is not in default of the Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure period, Tenant shall be
entitled to use any such remaining unused balance thereof as a credit against Base Rent.
9. Miscellaneous. This Work Letter shall not be deemed applicable to any additional
space added to the original Premises at any time or from time to time, whether by any options under
the Lease or otherwise, or to any portion of the original Premises or any additions to the Premises
in the event of a renewal or extension of the original Lease Term, whether by any options under the
Lease or otherwise, unless expressly so provided in the Lease or any amendment or supplement to the
Lease. All capitalized terms used in this Work Letter but not defined herein shall have the same
meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease.

EXHIBIT E
ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS
34. Parking. Tenant shall have the right to use, for its employees and guests, on a
non-exclusive and unreserved basis, up to eighteen (18) unreserved parking spaces on levels two
(2), three (3) and four (4) in the covered parking garage serving the Building as identified on
Exhibit G and six (6) unreserved parking spaces located in the “up front” parking area (being the
lots known as Lots “C”, “D” and “E” also as identified on Exhibit G) and twelve (12) unreserved
parking spaces located in the general parking lots also as identified on Exhibit G. At Landlord’s
election and at no cost to Tenant, Landlord may reasonably designate parking spaces for exclusive
use by Tenant and other tenants of, and/or visitors to, the Property and may install signage or
implement a pass or sticker system to control parking use. Tenant’s right to the use of such
parking shall be subject to compliance with the reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by
Landlord from time to time. Landlord shall have no liability whatsoever for any property damage,
loss or theft and/or personal injury which might occur as a result of or in connection with the use
of the parking by Tenant, its employees, agents, servants, customers, invitees and licensees, and
Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless for, from and against any and all
costs, claims, expenses, and/or causes of action which Landlord may incur in connection with or
arising out of Tenant’s use of the parking. To the maximum extent this agreement may be made
effective according to law, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant in damages or otherwise under
any circumstances for failure to provide parking if at any time Landlord is prevented from doing so
for reasons beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation, as the result of a taking
or condemnation, or during any temporary need to close the parking lots or portions thereof for
maintenance, repair or replacement.
35. Extension Option. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant an option to extend the Lease
Term for one (1) five (5) year period (the “Extension Period”). The Extension Period
shall commence on the day following the expiration of the initial Lease Term (the “Extension
Commencement Date”) and shall expire on the day preceding the fifth (5th) anniversary of the
Extension Commencement Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms and provisions
of the Lease.
(a) The Extension Period shall be upon the same terms, covenants, and conditions as set forth
in the Lease with respect to the initial Lease Term, except that Base Rent payable during the
Extension Period shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rental Rate (as
defined below) for lease terms commencing on or about the Extension Commencement Date, as
reasonably determined by Landlord, and in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to perform
any work to the Premises for use or occupancy by Tenant or provide Tenant any allowance therefor.
Tenant shall be obligated to pay Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Basic Costs and Taxes during the
Extension Period, if Tenant has elected to extend the Lease Term.
(b) If Tenant desires to exercise its option to extend, Tenant shall no earlier than fifteen
(15) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, and no later
than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, time being of the
essence, notify Landlord in writing of its desire to extend and request of Landlord its
determination of the Fair
1
Market Rental Rate (“Tenant’s Initial Notice”). Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days
of its receipt of Tenant’s Initial Notice, notify Tenant in writing (“Landlord’s Notice”) of the
rental rate for the Extension Period (the “Extension Period Rental Rate”). If Tenant desires to
extend the Lease Term for the Extension Period at the Extension Period Rental Rate, Tenant shall so
notify Landlord in writing (the “Extension Notice”) within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers
Landlord’s Notice to Tenant. If Tenant does not so exercise its right for the Extension Period,
then Tenant may notify Landlord in writing (the “Negotiation Notice”) within thirty (30) days after
Landlord delivers Landlord’s Notice to Tenant that Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination
of the Fair Market Rental Rate, in which case Tenant shall concurrently notify Landlord of Tenant’s
determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate, and if the patties are unable to agree upon a Fair
Market Rental Rate within thirty (30) days after such response by Tenant (the “Negotiation
Period”), then such dispute shall be settled by binding arbitration as hereinafter described. If
Tenant fails to deliver either the Extension Notice or Negotiation Notice within the time periods
specified above, the option to exercise the Extension Period shall be deemed waived, time being of
the essence. If Tenant fails to timely exercise its rights hereunder, then within seven (7) days of
Landlord’s request therefor, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a certification, in
recordable form, confirming the Tenant’s failure to exercise (or waiver of) such right, and
Tenant’s failure to so execute and deliver such certification shall (without limiting Landlord’s
remedies on account thereof) entitle Landlord to execute and deliver to any third party, and
record, an affidavit confirming the failure or waiver, which affidavit shall be binding on Tenant
and may be conclusively relied on by third parties.
(c) Landlord and Tenant, within fifteen (15) days after expiration of a Negotiation Period,
shall each simultaneously submit to the other, in a sealed envelope, its good faith estimate of the
Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extension Period (collectively referred to as the “Estimates”). If
the higher of such Estimates is not more than one hundred five percent (105%) of the lower of such
Estimates, then the Fair Market Rental Rate shall be the average of the two Estimates. If the Fair
Market Rental Rate is not so resolved pursuant to the preceding sentence, Landlord and Tenant,
within fifteen (15) days after the exchange of Estimates, shall each select an appraiser to
determine which of the two Estimates more closely reflects the Fair Market Rental Rate for the
Premises for the Extension Period. Each appraiser selected pursuant to this Section shall be
certified as an MAI appraiser and shall have had at least ten (10) years experience as a real
estate appraiser of which at least the last five (5) years immediately preceding the Negotiation
Period must be as a real estate appraiser working in the Andover, Massachusetts office market, with
working knowledge of current rental rates and market practices. For purposes of this Section, “MAI
appraiser” means an individual who holds an MAI designation conferred by, and is an independent
member of, the American Appraisal Institute (or its successor organization, or in the event there
is no successor organization, the organization and designation most similar) and who is not
affiliated with Landlord or Tenant. Upon selection, Landlord’s and Tenant’s appraisers shall work
together in good faith to agree upon which of the two (2) Estimates more closely reflects the Fair
Market Rental Rate for the Premises for the Extension Period. The Estimate chosen by such
appraisers shall be binding on both Landlord and Tenant as the Base Rent rate for the Extension
Period. If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an appraiser within the fifteen (15) day
period referred to above, then the appraiser appointed by the other party shall be the sole
appraiser for the purposes hereof. If the two appraisers cannot agree upon which of the two
Estimates most closely reflects the Fair Market
Rental Rate within twenty (20) days after their appointment; then, within ten (10) days
2
after the expiration of such twenty (20) day period, the two (2) appraisers shall select a
third appraiser meeting the aforementioned criteria (or, if such two appraisers are unable to
select a third appraiser, such selection shall be made by the President of the local chapter of the
American Appraisal Institute [or its successor organization]). Once the third appraiser has been
selected as provided for above, then, as soon thereafter as practicable, but in any case within
fourteen (14) days, the third appraiser shall make its determination of which of the two Estimates
more closely reflects the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises for the Extension Period and
such appraiser shall not select anything other than one of the two Estimates from Landlord and
Tenant and the Estimate so selected by the third appraiser shall be binding on both Landlord and
Tenant as the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises for the Extension Period. The xxxxx whose
Estimate is not selected as the Fair Market Rental Rate shall pay the costs of the third appraiser
and of any experts retained by the third appraiser. Any fees of any appraiser, counsel or experts
engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party retaining such
appraiser, counsel or expert.
(d) Unless Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion, otherwise agrees in writing, Tenant
may only exercise its option to extend and an exercise thereof shall only be effective, if at the
time of Tenant’s exercise of the option and on the Extension Commencement Date, the Lease is in
full force and effect and no uncured default by Tenant under the Lease shall then exist, and,
inasmuch as the option to extend is intended only for the original Tenant named in the Lease,
Tenant has not assigned the Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises.
(e) Upon the valid exercise by Tenant of the option to extend, Landlord and Tenant shall
promptly enter into a written supplement to the Lease confirming the rent for the Extension Period
determined as provided above, and with the other terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the
Extension Period, as determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section. Upon the
exercise by Tenant of its option to extend, the Termination Option (as defined below) shall be null
and void and of no further force or effect.
(f) For purposes of the Lease, the term “Fair Market Rental Rate” shall mean a rate comprised
of (i) the prevailing base rental rate per square foot of rentable area available in the Pertinent
Market (as defined below), and taking into account tenant improvement allowances, other tenant
inducements, operating cost stops and tax cost stops, and brokerage commissions, and (ii) any
escalation of any such base rental rate (based upon a fixed step and/or index) prevailing in the
Pertinent Market, taking into account (A) comparable leases (on the basis of factors
such as, but not limited to, size and location of space and commencement date and term of lease),
if any, recently executed for improved space in the Building, and (B) leases for comparable (on the
basis of factors such as, but not limited to, size and location of space and commencement date and
term of lease) improved space in office buildings in the Andover, Massachusetts area which are
comparable to the Building in reputation, quality, age, size, location and level and quality of
services provided and which have reached economic stabilization and are not, for any other reason,
offering below market rents (the foregoing factors not being exclusive in identifying comparable
buildings) (the Building, together with such comparable buildings, if applicable, being herein
referred to as the “Pertinent Market”).
36. Tenant’s Option To Terminate. Provided that (a) Tenant has not assigned the Lease
or sublet any portion of the Premises and (b) Tenant is not in default under the Lease
3
beyond any applicable notice or cure period, has not delivered the Extension Notice and
has not delivered the Acceptance Notice (hereinafter defined) (i.e., has not exercised a renewal
option or Right of First Offer), Tenant shall have a one (1) time option to terminate the Lease
(the “Termination Option”), effective as of the last day of the thirty-ninth (39th) full month of
the Lease Term (the date when the Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section being referred to
herein as the “Early Termination Date”). Tenant shall exercise the Termination Option by (i)
delivering to Landlord written notice (the “Termination Notice”) of such election to terminate the
Lease at least nine (9) months’ prior to the Early Termination Date and (ii) paying to Landlord the
Termination Payment (hereinafter defined) within ten (10) business days of submittal of the
Termination Notice. If Tenant delivers the Termination Notice and the Termination Payment in a
timely manner, then the Lease shall be deemed to have expired by lapse of time on the Early
Termination Date. Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord on the Early Termination Date in
accordance with the terms of the Lease, including, but not limited to, Section 26. If Tenant fails
to make the Termination Payment in a timely manner, the Termination Option shall, at Landlord’s
option, be void. Unless Landlord otherwise agrees in writing, Tenant may not exercise the
Termination Option, and no exercise thereof shall be effective, if a default or event or
circumstance which with the giving of notice or passage of time or both could constitute a default
by Tenant shall exist under the Lease as of the date on which the Termination Notice is given or as
of the Early Termination Date. Upon Tenant’s delivering the Termination Notice, any and all rights
of Tenant to extend the Lease Term or to lease additional space in the Building, whether pursuant
to a right of first offer, a right of first refusal, an expansion option, or otherwise, shall
immediately be void and of no further force or effect. All obligations of either party to the other
which accrue under the Lease on or before the Early Termination Date shall survive such
termination. As used herein, “Termination Payment” shall mean the sum of (1) the unamortized
balance of the Leasing Costs (hereinafter defined ) as of the Early Termination Date had the
Leasing Costs been loaned to Tenant as of the Commencement Date at the interest rate of nine
percent (9%) per annum and had such loaned amount been repaid in equal monthly installments
commencing on the Commencement Date in amounts sufficient to fully amortize such loaned
amount and the imputed interest thereon on the Expiration Date and (2) an amount equal to two (2)
multiplied by the sum of Base Rent due at the rate specified under the Lease for the full calendar
month immediately preceding the Early Termination Date. The term “Leasing Costs” shall mean the sum
of (i) the total brokerage commission payable by Landlord and all other fees and costs incurred by
Landlord in connection with the Lease transaction (including, without limitation attorneys’ fees
and costs) and (ii) the amount of the Improvement Allowance paid (or credited) by Landlord to
Tenant as provided above. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Termination Payment is not a
penalty, but is a reasonable estimate of the damages to be suffered by Landlord as a consequence of
Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Tenant
shall not be entitled to any rebate or return of any portion of the Termination Payment as a
consequence of the actual costs incurred by Landlord in re-letting the Premises being less than the
Termination Payment.
37. Right of First Offer. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the on-going option to
lease, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, but subject to the existing rights of
any current tenants of the Building (including those held pursuant to Landlord’s lease with Xxxxxxx
X. Xxxxxxx Co., as same may be amended) and subject to Landlord’s right to renew or extend the
term of the lease of the then-current tenant or occupant of the Offer Space (hereinafter defined ),
approximately 8,240 rentable square feet of space on the second (2nd) floor of the Building
4
contiguous to the Premises more particularly shown on Exhibit H attached hereto (the “Offer
Space”) which becomes available for leasing (as determined in accordance with paragraph (a) below)
during the Offer Period (hereinafter defined), prior to entering into a lease for such space with
another party.
(a) The Offer Space shall be deemed to be “available for leasing” when any lease or occupancy
agreement (including extension periods) on the Offer Space has expired or is due to expire and
Landlord is prepared to offer to lease the Offer Space to parties other than to the then-current
tenant or occupant of such Offer Space and other than current tenants of the Building with existing
rights to lease such space.
(b) Prior to Landlord’s marketing the Offer Space that is available for leasing during the
Offer Period, Landlord shall give Tenant a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) setting forth (i)
the location and (ii) the anticipated availability date (the “Offer Space Commencement Date”).
Tenant acknowledges that the Offer Space is currently available for leasing as of the date of this
Lease and Tenant has elected not to lease the Offer Space at this time but Landlord shall endeavor
to provide to Tenant the status of the marketing and leasing of the Offer Space from time to time
upon Tenant’s request therefor.
(c) Tenant’s right to lease the Offer Space shall be exercisable by written notice (the
“Acceptance Notice”) from Tenant to Landlord delivered not later than ten (l0) business days after
the Offer Notice is delivered to Tenant, time being of the essence. Tenant may not elect to lease
less than the entire portion of Offer Space described in the Offer Notice. If Tenant does not
exercise the right to lease the Offer Space, then Landlord shall have the right thereafter to lease
such space to another prospective tenant without further offering such space to Tenant, and within
seven (7) business days of Landlord’s request therefor, Tenant shall execute and deliver to
Landlord a certification, in recordable form, confirming the Tenant’s failure to exercise (or
waiver of) such right, and Tenant’s failure to so execute and deliver such certification shall
(without limiting Landlord’s remedies on account thereof) entitle Landlord to execute and deliver
to any third party, and record, an affidavit confirming the failure or waiver, which affidavit
shall be binding on Tenant and may be conclusively relied on by third parties. If Tenant has
validly exercised its option to lease the Offer Space, then the Offer Space shall be included in
the Premises, subject to all the agreements, terms and conditions of the Lease as modified by the
terms set forth in the applicable Offer Notice.
(d) Tenant’s right to lease Offer Space is subject to the following additional terms and
conditions:
(i) The Lease must be in full force and effect on the date on which Tenant exercises its
option of first offer to lease Offer Space and on the Offer Space Commencement Date;
(ii) Tenant must not be in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice or cure
period, either on the date Tenant exercises its option to lease Offer Space or on
the Offer Space Commencement Date, unless Landlord, in its sole and absolute discretion,
agrees in writing to permit Tenant to lease such Offer Space notwithstanding such default; and
5
(iii) Tenant shall not have assigned the Lease or shall not have sublet all or
substantially all of the Premises (except, in either instance, in accordance with a Permitted
Transfer).
(e) If Tenant has validly exercised its option to lease the Offer Space, then effective as of
the Offer Space Commencement Date, the Offer Space shall be included in the Premises, subject to
all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease except that:
(i) The Rentable Area in the Premises shall be increased by the number of square feet of
rentable area in the Offer Space and such Rentable Area in the Premises, as so increased, shall be
used in calculating the increases in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share;
(ii) The Lease Term with respect to the Offer Space shall commence on the Offer Space
Commencement Date and shall expire simultaneously with the expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease Term, including any extension or renewal thereof; and
(iii) The Offer Space shall be rented in its “as is” condition as of the Offer Space
Commencement Date, without representation or warranty by Landlord or any other party acting on
behalf of Landlord and in no event shall Landlord have any obligation to perform any work to the
Offer Space for use or occupancy by Tenant or provide Tenant any allowance therefor.
(f) If Landlord fails to deliver possession on the Offer Space Commencement Date of the Offer
Space because of any act or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, including,
without limitation, the holding over of any tenants or occupants beyond the expiration of their
lease terms or other causes of such nature, then Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for
failure to deliver possession, and such failure to deliver possession shall not affect either the
validity of the Lease or the obligations of either Landlord or Tenant thereunder or be construed to
extend the expiration of the Lease Term either as to the Offer Space or the balance of the
Premises; provided, however, that under such circumstances, (i) Landlord shall make reasonable
efforts to obtain possession of such portion of the Offer Space and (ii) Rent shall not commence as
to such portion of the Offer Space until Landlord is able to deliver possession thereof to Tenant.
(g) Upon the valid exercise by Tenant of its option to lease Offer Space, Landlord and Tenant
shall promptly enter into a written supplement to the Lease reflecting the terms, conditions and
provisions applicable to such portion of the Offer Space, as determined in accordance herewith.
(h) In the event any portion of the Offer Space is leased to Tenant other than pursuant to the
right of first offer described herein, such portion of the Offer Space shall thereupon be deleted
from the Offer Space.
(i) As used herein, the term “Offer Period” shall mean the period commencing on the date of
the Lease and expiring on the date which is twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date.
