Landlord will be (a) liable for any act or omission of or subject to any offsets or defenses which
Tenant might have against any Landlord prior to the First Successor Landlord (a “Prior
Landlord”) except to the extent such act or refusal to act is in violation of this Lease and is
continued by the First Successor Landlord or its successor or assign, (b) liable for the return of
any security deposit not actually paid over to the First Successor Landlord, (c) bound by any
payments which Tenant has paid to a Prior Landlord other than for monthly installments next due.
(d) obliged to make any payment to Tenant which was required to be made prior to the time the First
Successor Landlord took title, or (c) obliged to perform any work or to make any improvements to
the Premises undertaken by a Prior Landlord. A First Mortgagee that gives notice of its address to
Tenant will be entitled to
12
Carbonite Lease
6.23.09
6.23.09
receive a simultaneous copy of any notice of default by Tenant to Landlord and will have an
additional 30 days beyond any cure period available to Landlord within which to cure such default,
and unless such additional time expires without cure, Tenant will have no right to terminate this
Lease on account of Landlord’s default. Any amendment or cancellation of this Lease or surrender of
the Premises made without the prior written consent of the First Mortgagee will be void and of no
effect. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from its First Mortgagee a so-called
“non-disturbance agreement” wherein such mortgagee agrees that Tenant’s use and occupancy of the
Premises will not be disturbed so long as Tenant complies with its obligations under the this
Lease.
17. Tenant Defaults
17.1. Events of Default. Each of the following will constitute a material default by Tenant (a
“Tenant Default”): (a) failure by Tenant to make any payment required under this Lease
within two days of the date such payment is due; (b) failure by Tenant to maintain insurance and to
provide certificates as required by this Lease; (c) insolvency or admission of insolvency by
Tenant, the filing by or against Tenant of any bankruptcy, receivership or other proceeding under
State or Federal law, or entering into or acquiescence by Tenant to any arrangement affecting the
rights of Tenant’s creditors generally, or attachment, execution or other seizure of substantially
all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or Tenant’s interest
in this Lease or the Premises; and, (d) failure by Tenant to fulfill any other material
obligation under this Lease, if such failure (meaning the failure by Tenant to fulfill any other
material obligation under this Lease) is not cured within 20 days of notice from Landlord to
Tenant, or such longer period as may reasonably be necessary, not to exceed a total of 30 days, if
Tenant promptly commences and diligently pursues such cure. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 17.1 to the contrary. Tenant shall be permitted, during each consecutive 12-month period
hereunder commencing on the Commencement Date, to make 2 payments required under this Lease within
5 days (as opposed to 2 days) of the date such payment is due. As long as such payments are made
within such 5 day periods, Landlord shall not be entitled to declare a Tenant Default with respect
to such payments. However, nothing in the preceding sentence shall affect Landlord’s rights
contained in any other section of this Lease, including without limitation, the provisions of
Section 3.2.
17.2. Termination by Notice. If a Tenant Default occurs, in addition to any other rights or
remedies. Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease and recover possession of the
Premises by written notice to Tenant, effective on the date specified in such notice or, if no date
is specified, on the date of receipt or first properly attempted delivery of such notice.
17.3. Landlord’s Remedies. In addition to any other rights or remedies, if Landlord terminates
this Lease for a Tenant Default, Landlord will have the right to recover as damages from Tenant:
(a) any amounts owing from Tenant to Landlord at the time of termination, (b) all of Landlord’s
expenses, including reasonable legal fees, incurred in recovering possession of the Premises and in
proving and collecting the sums due from Tenant hereunder, (c) the amount by which the payments
required under this
13
Carbonite Lease
6.23.09
6.23.09
Lease for the balance of the Term exceed the fair market rent for the Premises under a gross lease
similar to this Lease, for the balance of the Term, determined as of the date of such termination,
adjusted to its present value at a reasonable discount rate, and (d) the actual or reasonably
anticipated expense to Landlord of preparing and reletting the Premises. Landlord will also have
the right to enter the Premises and to perform any obligation as to which a Tenant Default has
arisen, without being deemed to have cured such Tenant Default and without liability to Tenant, and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any cost and expense thus incurred promptly upon demand as
damages hereunder. In lieu of the damages recoverable under clause (c) above, Landlord may recover
the liquidated damages provided for in Section 17.4, below.
17.4. Liquidated Damages. Landlord and Tenant agree that the actual damages that would be
suffered by Landlord by the loss of the Rent reserved under this Lease if this Lease should be
terminated due to Tenant’s default would be very difficult to estimate as of the date of this
Lease. Landlord and Tenant wish to agree on a sum that would reasonably compensate Landlord for
such loss and accordingly agree that, in lieu of the damages recoverable under Section 17.3(c)
above and as Landlord’s sole remedy therefor Landlord may recover as liquidated damages, and not as
a penalty, an amount equal to the total of the Rent payable by Tenant with respect to the 12 full
calendar months preceding termination.
17.5 Mitigation of Damages. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate
damages, including to re-let the Premises, provided that Landlord will not be required to give
priority to the Premises in renting, or to rent on terms or to any person not otherwise acceptable
to Landlord. Landlord and Tenant agree that if Landlord elects to recover liquidated damages under
Section 17.4, above, Landlord will have no obligation to mitigate damages as a condition to
recovering such liquidated damages.
17.6. Security Deposit. Landlord may apply the Security Deposit to remedy any Tenant Default
and to compensate Landlord for any damages which Landlord suffers as a result of such Tenant
Default, without being deemed to have cured such Tenant Default or waived further damages in
connection therewith. Immediately upon demand, Tenant will deposit cash with Landlord in an amount
equal to any portion of the Security Deposit applied by Landlord as aforesaid. Landlord will not be
required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general accounts and Tenant will not be
entitled to interest on the Security Deposit. Within 30 days after the Termination Date and
vacation of the Premises by Tenant in accordance with the terms
of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or such part as remains after application of this
Section, will be returned to Tenant.
18. Landlord Defaults
18.1. Events of Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of
any of its obligations hereunder unless it shall fail to perform such obligations and such failure
shall continue for 20 days after written notice has been given by Tenant to Landlord specifying the
nature of Landlord’s alleged default, provided if such default cannot be reasonably cured within
such 20 day period then within such
14
Carbonite Lease
6.23.09
6.23.09
additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default, and further provided that
Landlord commences to cure such default within such 20 day period and diligently prosecutes it to
completion.
18.2. Tenant’s Remedies. If a Landlord Default occurs and such Landlord Default directly
affects and materially impairs Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises for the Permitted Uses,
Tenant may make such repairs within the Premises and in Common Areas adjacent to the Premises
necessary to restore Tenant’s use, and Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the reasonable and
necessary third party costs thus incurred by Tenant upon receipt from Tenant of a statement of such
costs in reasonable detail and such backup materials as Landlord may reasonably request. If
Landlord fails to so reimburse Tenant within 60 days of receipt by Landlord of such statement and
backup materials, Tenant may offset such amounts against the installment or installments of Rent
next coming due. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant will have no right of
self-help, or any right to withhold, set-off, or xxxxx Rent and neither party to this Lease will be
liable to the other for punitive damages, lost profits, business interruption, speculative,
consequential or other such damages.
18.3. Independent Covenants. Except as specifically provided herein, the obligations of Tenant
under this Lease, including the obligation to pay Rent, and the obligations of Landlord, are
independent and not mutually dependent covenants and the failure of Landlord to perform any
obligation hereunder will not justify or empower Tenant to withhold Rent, except as provided in the
preceding Section 18.2, and the failure of Landlord to perform any obligation hereunder will not
justify or empower Tenant to terminate this Lease unless the Landlord Default constitutes a
constructive eviction.
19. Property Damage or Taking
19.1. Termination. If the Building is destroyed by fire or other cause of loss or the Property
or the Premises are taken in their entirety by eminent domain or conveyed in their entirety by deed
in lieu of taking, this Lease will terminate as of the date of the property damage or the date that
possession of the Property is surrendered to the taking authority, as applicable. If (a) the
Property or the Premises are substantially damaged by fire or other cause of loss and Landlord
determines in its sole discretion not to restore the Property or the Premises or both to
substantially its condition as existing prior to such damage, or (b) a material portion of the
Property or of the Premises is taken by eminent domain or conveyed by deed in lieu of taking, and
Landlord determines in its sole discretion not to restore the remaining portion of the Premises or
of the Property or both to a condition which is legal and suitable for Tenant’s Permitted Uses,
then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant given within 90 days after such
property damage or notice of taking, effective as of the date of Landlord’s notice or, with respect
to a taking, on the date that possession is surrendered to the taking authority.
19.2. Restoration. If Landlord determines (a) to restore the Property and the Premises to
substantially their condition as existed prior to the damage by fire or other cause of loss or (b)
to restore the remaining portion of the Premises or of the Property or
15
Carbonite Lease
6.23.09
6.23.09
both to a condition which is legal and suitable for Tenant’s Permitted Uses alter such taking or
conveyance, Landlord shall promptly give notice of such determination to Tenant, but in any
case on or before the last day of the 90 day period referred to in section 19.1, above. Upon giving
such notice to Tenant, Landlord shall promptly begin to use reasonable efforts so to restore the
Property and the Premises (not including fixtures, modifications and additions installed or
required to be installed by Tenant) as soon as is reasonably practical in light of the
circumstances then prevailing, including the time required to collect insurance proceeds and to
obtain any governmental approvals required for restoration, and subject to any other matters beyond
the reasonable control of Landlord, provided that, in no event will Landlord be required to expend
more for restoration of the Property or the Premises than the net amount of insurance or taking
proceeds actually available to Landlord for such purposes. If restoration of the Premises is not
substantially completed within 180 days of the date as of which Landlord notified Tenant that
Landlord had determined to restore the Property and the Premises, Tenant may terminate this Lease
by written notice to Landlord effective as of any day after the end of the 180 day restoration
period, which termination date shall be specified by Tenant in its notice of termination.
19.3. Abatement. If any portion of the Premises is rendered unusable by Tenant as a result of
the property damage or taking described in Section 19.1(a) or 19.1(b) above, and Tenant, at such
time, is not in default under this Lease, the Rent will be abated, in part or in whole, based on
the proportion of the Premises rendered unusable, until the earlier of the time at which Landlord
has substantially completed its restoration or the date on which Tenant resumes use of the damaged
portion of the Premises.
20. Notices. All notices under this Lease will be in writing and will be given: (a) in hand, with
written acknowledgement of receipt, (b) by Federal Express, Express Mail or other nationally
recognized overnight delivery service which provides verification of delivery, charges prepaid, or
(c) by United States certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, in each case
addressed to Landlord or Tenant at the Notice Address set forth in Section 1, All notices will be
deemed given when received by the intended recipient. Either party may change its Notice Address by
notice given in accordance herewith.
21. Brokers. Tenant represents that Tenant has dealt with no broker in connection with this Lease
except the Brokers named in Section 1. and agrees to hold Landlord harmless and indemnified from
all claims for brokerage due to any person with whom such Tenant has dealt in breach of such
representation. Landlord will be solely responsible for the payment of the brokerage commission due
to the Brokers named in Section I.
22. Limitation on Liability. The recourse of Tenant against Landlord for any claim related to this
Lease will extend only to Landlord’s interest in the Property and the uncollected rents and profits
therefrom. No personal liability for any such claim will be enforceable against Landlord or any
officer, trustee, director, employee, agent or other person or entity related to Landlord
(including, without limitation, The First Church of Xxxxxx, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts) or
against any other property, person or
16
Carbonite Lease
6.23.09
6.23.09
entity. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Property, the transferring Landlord will
automatically be released from all liability related to this Lease accruing after such transfer.
The transferring Landlord will continue to be responsible for any security deposit received from
Tenant except to the extent that Landlord has transferred same to its successor or assign.
23. Miscellaneous Provisions
23.1. Amendments and Waivers. This Lease may not be amended except by a writing, duly executed
by both parties and approved in writing by any First Mortgagee having approval rights, and no
waiver or consent will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party giving it. A waiver
or consent by either party hereunder will apply only to the specific instance in which granted and
not to any other instance, however similar.
23.2 Interpretation. Both parties acknowledge that they have fully read and understood this
Lease and have had the opportunity to consult counsel to the extent they deemed necessary, and no
provision of this Lease will be construed in favor or against either party by virtue of

class should not be construed as excluding others, notwithstanding the absence of the phrase
“without limitation” or words of like meaning.
23.3. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Lease is finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be in violation of law or otherwise invalid, this Lease will be deemed
amended to the limited extent necessary to cure such violation or invalidity and will be
interpreted, as thus amended, so as to implement the intentions of the parties to the greatest
extent possible.
23.4. Time of the Essence; Force Majeure. Time is of the essence as to all rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder unless specifically provided to the contrary. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if either party fails to perform an obligation hereunder, other than the obligation
of Tenant to pay Rent when due, which failure results from causes beyond the reasonable control of
such party, including, without limitation, labor problems, contractor disputes, legal requirements,
unavailability of equipment, fixtures or materials, property damage caused by fire or other cause
of loss, or disruption or unavailability of utilities or services (a “Force Majeure
Event”), the amount of time for performance of such obligation shall be extended by the amount
of time such performance is delayed by reason of such Force Majeure Event.
23.5. Jurisdiction; Governing Laws; No Counterclaim. Any action by either party against the
other will be instituted in the state courts of Massachusetts under Massachusetts law, and each
party will have personal jurisdiction over the other for any action brought by such party in
Massachusetts by service made to the other party’s Notice Address.

burdens of this Lease will extend to the original Landlord and Tenant and to
17

“Tenant” as used herein, provided that no transferee from Tenant in violation of the provisions of
this Lease will be entitled to any of the rights or benefits of a Tenant hereunder.

other, shall provide a certificate identifying this Lease and any amendments hereto, setting forth
the amount of the then current monthly installment of Rent and of any Security Deposit held
hereunder, stating whether this Lease remains in effect, whether there are any defaults by Landlord
or Tenant, whether any Rent has been paid more than 30 days in advance, whether Tenant is in
possession and paying Rent, whether Tenant claims any off-sets or credits or has any other defenses

may be requested.
