The Rent Credit may be applied by Xxxxxx as a credit, in equal monthly installments, against the Monthly Fixed Rent payments required to be made by Tenant for the months of August, 2023 through July, 2024, inclusive. The right to receive the Rent Credit is for the exclusive benefit of Tenant, and in no event shall such right be otherwise assigned to or be enforceable by or for the benefit of any third party.

3.As-Is Condition. Tenant acknowledges that pursuant to the Existing Lease, through and including the date of this Amendment, the Premises have been under its control, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Existing Lease. Xxxxxx has had a full and complete opportunity to review and inspect all aspects of the Premises and the condition thereof. Notwithstanding any provision contained in the Existing Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall lease the Premises for the Extension Term “as-is”, “where is”, and in all respects in the condition in which the Premises are in as of the date of this Amendment, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to prepare or construct the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, or, excepting only Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution (as hereinafter defined), to provide any allowances or inducements, or to construct any additional work or improvements therein or in the Building and without any representation or warranty (express or implied) on the
2
part of Landlord as to the condition of the Premises. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense (excepting only to the extent funded by the Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution), in accordance with and subject to the terms and provisions of the Lease, perform or cause to be performed any and all work and improvements necessary to prepare the Premises for occupancy by Tenant during the Extension Term. All of such work and improvements shall be considered to be Alterations, and shall be performed in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Lease, including, without limitation, Section 6.2.5 of the Existing Lease.
4.Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution.
(a) After the Extension Term Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a tenant improvement allowance (the “Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution”) in an amount not to exceed $827,050.00 to reimburse Tenant for the costs of performing Alterations in and to the Premises, provided that (i) as of the date on which Landlord is required to make payment thereof, the Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) as of both the date of the respective Contribution Request Notice (as hereinafter defined), and as of the respective date on which Landlord is required to make payment thereof, no Event of Default then exists; and (iii) Tenant shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior notice (each, a “Contribution Request Notice”) of its request for payment of all or a portion of the Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution. Tenant shall pay all costs of constructing all Alterations in and to the Premises to the extent such costs exceed the Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution. The Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution shall be payable, at the election of Tenant in its sole discretion, either (x) in accordance with Section 4(b) of this Amendment, on account of hard construction costs and “soft costs” incurred by Tenant in connection with Tenant’s work in the Premises, which may include architectural, design engineering services, networking, wiring, project management, IT, and telecommunication consultants, permit application fees, and other direct moving expenses fees incurred by Tenant; or (y) in accordance with Section 4(c) of this Amendment, as a credit against the Monthly Fixed Rent payable under the Lease. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, from and after the first (1st) anniversary of the Extension Term Commencement Date, any amount of the Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution for which Tenant has not submitted a requisition for payment shall be retained by Landlord and Tenant shall have no further rights or claims thereto.
(b)Landlord shall make progress payments on account of Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution to Tenant on a monthly basis, for the work performed during the previous month. Each of Landlord’s progress payments shall be limited to an amount equal to the aggregate amounts theretofore paid by Tenant (as certified by a duly authorized officer of Tenant) to Tenant’s contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers which have not been subject to previous disbursements from Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution, multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the amount of Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution, and the denominator of which is the total contract price (or, if there is no specified or fixed contract price for the Alterations, then Landlord’s reasonable estimate thereof) for the performance of all of the Alterations shown on all plans and specifications approved by Landlord, provided that in no event shall such fraction be greater than one. Such progress payments shall be made within thirty (30) days next following the delivery to Landlord of requisitions therefor. Each requisition shall be executed by a duly authorized officer of Tenant, and shall be accompanied by (i) with the exception of the first requisition, copies of partial waivers of lien from all contractors,
3
subcontractors, and material suppliers covering all work and materials which were the subject of previous progress payments by Landlord and Tenant, (ii) a certification from Tenant’s architect that the work for which the requisition is being made has been performed substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and (iii) such other documents and information as Landlord or its Mortgagee may reasonably request. Landlord shall disburse the final requisition upon submission by Tenant to Landlord of Tenant’s requisition therefor accompanied by all documentation required under the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(b), together with (A) proof of the satisfactory completion of all required inspections and issuance of any required approvals, permits and sign-offs for the Alterations by Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction thereover, (B) final “as-built” plans and specifications for the Alterations as required pursuant to Section 5.1(c) of the Lease, and (C) issuance of final lien waivers by all contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers covering all of the Alterations. The right to receive Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution is for the exclusive benefit of Tenant, and in no event shall such right be assigned to or be enforceable by or for the benefit of any third party, including any contractor, subcontractor, materialman, laborer, architect, engineer, attorney or other person or entity.
(c)In lieu of the progress payments pursuant to the foregoing Section 4(b), upon request made by Tenant, the Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution may be applied as a credit on a monthly basis against payments required to be made by Tenant to Landlord on account of the Monthly Fixed Rent payable under the Lease, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) no Event of Default then exists under the Lease; and (iii) Tenant shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior notice of its request that all or a portion of the Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution be applied as a credit against the Fixed Rent payable under the Lease, which notice shall specify the amount of such credit and the applicable installments of Fixed Rent to which such amount of the Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution is to be applied.

(a)Subject to the full and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions Precedent (as hereinafter defined), in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7, Tenant shall have the one-time irrevocable option to terminate the Lease (a “Termination”). The conditions precedent (the “Termination Conditions Precedent”) to the effectiveness of such Termination shall be as follows: (i) the effective date of such Termination shall be December 31, 2029 (the “Termination Date”); (ii) Tenant shall deliver written notice (a “Termination Notice”) of such Termination to Landlord by not later than December 31, 2028; (iii) concurrent with the delivery of the Termination Notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without deduction or offset, the Termination Fee (as hereinafter defined); and (iv) on the Termination Date no Event of Default of Tenant shall have occurred under the Lease. Said Termination Fee shall be Additional Rent and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other payments due under the Lease. The “Termination Fee” shall be an amount equal to $857,827.30, which amount represents the sum of: (x) the Unamortized Portion (as hereinafter defined) as of the Termination Date of the Rent Credit, Landlord’s Extension Term Contribution, and all brokerage commissions paid by Landlord to both Landlord’s broker and Xxxxxx’s broker in connection with this Amendment, plus (y) the amount of Fixed Rent payable with respect to the last three (3) months of the Extension Term immediately preceding the Termination Date. The “Unamortized Portion” shall mean the amounts in the foregoing clause (x), amortized on a straight-line basis over the Extension Term, together with interest thereon at the rate of 8% per annum, compounded monthly in advance.
(b)Provided that all of the Termination Conditions Precedent have been fully and completely satisfied, then effective as of the Termination Date, the Lease, and the rights of the Tenant with respect to the Premises, shall terminate and expire with the same force and effect as if such Termination Date had originally been specified as the Expiration Date. Prior to the Termination Date, Tenant shall comply with all of the terms and provisions of the Lease and shall perform all of its obligations thereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay when due all Fixed Rent and other Additional Rent. By not later than the Termination Date, Tenant shall surrender and yield-up the Premises in good and broom-clean order, repair and condition, free of all tenants and occupants, and otherwise in the condition in which the Premises are required to be surrendered pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease at the expiration of the Term. All property and Alterations of any kind, nature or description remaining in the Premises after the Termination Date shall be and become the property of Landlord and may be disposed of by Landlord, without payment from Landlord and without the necessity to account therefor to Tenant.
(c)Without limiting the foregoing, if Tenant fails to yield up and surrender the Premises by the Termination Date, then Tenant shall pay a holdover charge at the rate set forth in Section 6.1.9 of the Lease. Nothing herein contained shall constitute a release, waiver, limitation, or restriction of any rights or remedies of Landlord on account of Xxxxxx’s failure to surrender the Premises by the Termination Date, including any rights or remedies afforded to Landlord in Section 6.1.9 of the Lease.
(d)The foregoing provisions shall be self-operative; provided, however, on the request of either party, Landlord and Tenant will enter into a mutually satisfactory customary termination agreement evidencing said Termination of the Lease.
(e)Time is of the essence of this Section 8.
6
9.Security Deposit. Article 11 of the Existing Lease is hereby deleted in the entirety and replaced with the following:
SECURITY DEPOSIT
11.1.Security Deposit. Concurrent with the execution of this Amendment, (i) Tenant has delivered to Landlord a cash security deposit (the “Security Deposit”) in the amount of
$210,000.00 (the “Security Deposit Amount”), as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, and (ii) Landlord has returned to Tenant the previously-delivered letter of credit. Tenant covenants and agrees to maintain the Security Deposit in the Security Deposit Amount throughout the Term of this Lease.
11.2.Application of Security. If (a) an Event of Default by Tenant occurs under this Lease, or (b) Tenant files a voluntary petition under any Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency code, law or proceeding, then Landlord shall have the right to use, apply, or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit to the extent required for the payment of any Rent or any other sum as to the payment of which Tenant is in default including (i) any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of such Event of Default, and/or (ii) any damages to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to this Lease, whether such damages accrue before or after summary proceedings or other reentry by Landlord. If Landlord applies or retains any part of the Security Deposit, then Tenant, upon demand, shall deliver additional cash security in the amount so applied or retained such that Landlord shall have a cash Security Deposit in the Security Deposit Amount on hand at all times during the Term. If Tenant shall comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the Security Deposit, or remaining balance thereof, as the case may be, shall be returned to Tenant promptly after (x) the Expiration Date, (y) the surrender and yield-up of possession of the Premises to Landlord in the manner required by this Lease, and (z) the curing of any outstanding Events of Default under this Lease.
11.3.Transfer. Landlord, its successors and assigns, may, at any time and without notice to Xxxxxx and without first obtaining Tenant’s consent thereto, transfer (one or more times) the Security Deposit to the holder of any mortgage upon the Building or any other successor landlord in connection with a transfer of the Building, as a part of the assignment by Landlord to such mortgagee or successor landlord of its rights and interests in and to this Lease. In the event of a transfer of Xxxxxxxx’s interest in the Building, Landlord shall transfer the Security Deposit, to the transferee and thereupon Landlord shall without any further agreement between the parties, be released by Tenant from all liability therefor. The provisions of this Section 11.3 shall apply to every transfer or assignment of the whole or any portion of the Security Deposit to a new landlord.
11.4.Xxxxxxxx’s Right to Draw Upon Security Deposit. The use, application or retention of the Security Deposit, or any portion thereof, by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord
7
from exercising any other right or remedy provided by this Lease or by any applicable law, it being intended that Landlord shall not first be required to proceed against the Security Deposit, and shall not operate as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. Xxxxxx agrees and acknowledges that in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant’s bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord’s claim and/or rights to the Security Deposit by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.
10.Inapplicable Lease Provision. Section 2.1(e) (relocation) of the Existing Lease is hereby deleted in the entirety, and shall be of no further force or effect.
11.Brokerage. Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord, and Landlord warrants and represents to Tenant, that it has dealt with no broker or agent in connection with this Amendment, other than Colliers International New England, LLC (“Colliers”) and Newmark of Massachusetts LLC (“Newmark”). Each of Tenant and Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any and all loss, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or resulting from any breach of said warranty and representation by the indemnifying party, including, without limitation, any claims for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee or similar compensation made by any person other than Newmark, arising out of or in connection with this Amendment. Landlord shall be responsible for payment of all fees payable to Newmark in connection with this Amendment, pursuant to a separate agreement.
12.Miscellaneous. This Amendment may be executed by electronic signatures, each of which shall be considered as an original signature for all purposes and shall have the same force and effect as an original signature. Without limitation, in addition to electronically produced signatures, “electronic signature” shall include faxed versions of an original signature or electronically scanned and transmitted versions (e.g., via PDF) of an original signature. This Amendment may be executed in multiple counterparts (which counterparts may be executed and delivered by PDF or another file sent by email) which shall together constitute a single document. Any executed counterpart of this Amendment delivered by PDF or another file sent by email shall be equally effective as an original counterpart for all purposes. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord as follows: (i) the execution and delivery of this Amendment by Xxxxxx has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action; (ii) neither the Existing Lease nor the interest of Tenant therein has been assigned, sublet, encumbered or otherwise transferred; (iii) there are no defenses or counterclaims to the enforcement of the Existing Lease or the liabilities and obligations of Tenant thereunder; (iv) Tenant is not entitled to any offset, abatement or reduction of rent under the Existing Lease; (v) neither Landlord or Tenant is in breach or default of any its respective obligations under the Existing Lease; (vi) Landlord has performed all work and constructed all improvements required pursuant to the Existing Lease, and has provided all allowances and contributions required pursuant to the Existing Lease; and
(vii) Landlord has made no representations or warranties, except as expressly and specifically set forth in the Existing Lease and this Amendment. The submission of drafts of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of or option for, the Extension Term or any of the other terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment, and this Amendment shall not be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless and until Landlord shall have executed and delivered a fully executed copy of this Amendment to Tenant. Except as
8
expressly and specifically set forth in this Amendment, the Existing Lease is hereby ratified and confirmed, and all of the terms, covenants, agreements and provisions of the Existing Lease shall remain unaltered and unmodified and in full force and effect throughout the balance of the term of the Lease, as extended hereby. Except as expressly set forth herein, all of the covenants, representations and warranties made by Tenant contained in the Existing Lease are hereby remade, reaffirmed and ratified as of the date hereof.
