THE BUILDINGS, PREMISES, TERM AND RENT
2.1 | THE PREMISES. |
Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires and accepts from Landlord, Tenant’s Space in the Building excluding exterior faces of exterior walls, the common stairways and stairwells, elevators and elevator xxxxx, fan rooms, electric and telephone closets, janitor closets, and pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures serving exclusively or in common other parts of the Building and if Tenant’s Space includes less than the entire rentable area of any floor, excluding the common corridors, elevator lobbies and toilets located on such floor.
Tenant’s Space with such exclusions is hereinafter referred to as the “Premises.” The term “Building” means the Building identified on the first page, and which is the subject of this Lease; the term “Site” means all, and also any part of the Land described in Exhibit A, plus any additions or reductions thereto resulting from the change of any abutting street line and all parking areas and structures. The term “Property” means the Building and the Site.
2.2 | RIGHTS TO USE COMMON FACILITIES. |
Subject to Landlord’s right to change or alter any of the following in Landlord’s discretion as provided in Section 2.3 hereof, Tenant shall have, as appurtenant to the Premises, the non-exclusive right to use in common with others, subject to reasonable rules of general applicability to tenants of the Building from time to time made by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice (a) the common lobbies, corridors, stairways, elevators and loading area of the Building, and the pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant meters and equipment serving the Premises in common with others, (b) common walkways and driveways necessary for access to the Building, and (c) if the Premises include less than the entire rentable floor area of any floor, the common toilets, corridors and elevator lobby of such floor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord has no obligation to allow any particular telecommunication service provider to have access to the Building or to the Premises except as may be required by applicable law. Tenant acknowledges that it uses Verizon as its present telecommunications provider. Landlord hereby approves Tenant’s use of Verizon but any cabling, equipment and other telecommunications apparatus, wiring and other appurtenances (collectively “Equipment”) and the placement and location thereof shall be solely for Tenant’s use in the conduct of the Permitted Use and shall be first approved by Landlord prior to installation, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Such approval may be conditioned by Landlord on Tenant’s agreement to remove all of the same at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease but may not be conditioned on the imposition of access
9
charges. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold its consent to any subsequent telecommunications service provider in replacement of, and not in addition to, Verizon. If Landlord so consents to such subsequent telecommunications service provider, Landlord may not condition such access upon the payment to Landlord by the service provider of fees assessed by Landlord. However, Landlord shall have the right to condition the same on Landlord’s prior approval of the installation, placement and location of such subsequent service provider’s Equipment and Tenant’s agreement to remove all of such subsequent service provider’s Equipment at the expiration or earlier termination of this lease. In no event shall any telecommunications provider install any equipment for sale of service to others or for anyone’s use other than Tenant in the Premises for the conduct of the Permitted Use.
2.2.1 | TENANT’S PARKING. |
In addition, Tenant shall have the right to use in the parking area the Number of Parking Spaces (referred to in Section 1.1) for the parking of automobiles by its employees and visitors, in common with use by other tenants from time to time of the Complex, provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish stalls or spaces in any parking area specifically designated for Tenant’s use. However, Landlord shall designate five (5) parking spaces for visitor use. Such visitor spaces shall be available to the visitors of all tenants, subtenants and other occupants from time to time of the Building and Landlord shall have no obligation to police or otherwise monitor or regulate the use thereof. Except for payment by Tenant of operating expenses as provided in Section 2.6 hereof, there shall be no charge for Tenant’s use of such parking spaces during the Original Term. Tenant covenants and agrees that it and all persons claiming by, through and under it, shall at all times abide by all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Landlord with respect to the use of the parking areas on the Site. The parking privileges granted herein are non-transferable except to a permitted assignee or subtenant as provided in Section 5.6 through Section 5.6.5. Further, except for the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and persons for whose Landlord is responsible, Landlord assumes no responsibility whatsoever for loss or damage due to fire, theft or otherwise to any automobile(s) parked on the Site or to any personal property therein, however caused, and Tenant covenants and agrees, upon request from Landlord from time to time, to notify its officers, employees, agents and invitees of such limitation of liability. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that a license only is hereby granted, and no bailment is intended or shall be created.
2.3 | LANDLORD’S RESERVATIONS. |
Landlord reserves the right from time to time, without unreasonable interference with Tenant’s use: (a) to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to
10
the Premises and other parts of the Building, or either, pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, wherever located in the Premises or Building, and (b) to alter or relocate any other common facility, provided that substitutions are substantially equivalent or better. Installations, replacements and relocations referred to in clause (a) above shall be located so far as practicable in the central core area of the Building, above ceiling surfaces, below floor surfaces or within perimeter walls of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s right to make such alterations, additions or other changes shall not materially and adversely (i) affect Tenant’s use of the Premises, (ii) interfere with or deprive Tenant of reasonable access to and from the Premises, (iii) change the configuration of the Premises or (iv) reduce the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises. Further, except in the case of emergencies, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonable advance notice of any work and Landlord shall perform such work in a manner so as not to materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises.
2.4 | HABENDUM. |
Tenant shall have and hold the Premises for a period commencing on the earlier of (the “Commencement Date”) (a) that date on which the Premises are “substantially complete” as provided in Section 3.1 provided, or (b) that date on which Tenant commences occupancy of any portion of the Premises for the Permitted Uses, and continuing for the Term unless sooner terminated as provided in Article VI or Article VII or unless extended as provided in Section 8.20. During Landlord’s construction of the improvements to the Premises pursuant to Article III hereof, Tenant shall have the right to install its wiring and cabling, its furniture and fixtures but only in accordance with and subject to the provisions and requirements of Section 5.14 hereof and such right and Tenant’s access shall be upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease except that such installation if prior to the date of substantial completion (as provided in Section 3.1), shall not trigger the commencement of the Lease Term as respects commencement of Annual Fixed Rent. However, whether or not Tenant exercises such rights and whether or not Tenant has completed all such installations, the Lease Term and Annual Fixed Rent shall commence on the Commencement Date.
As soon as may be convenient after the date has been determined on which the Term commences as aforesaid, Landlord and Tenant agree to join with each other in the execution of a written Declaration, in the form of Exhibit E, in which the date on which the Term commences as aforesaid and the Term of this Lease shall be stated. If Tenant fails to execute such Declaration, the Commencement Date and Lease Term shall be as reasonably determined by Xxxxxxx and Caulfield, Architects (“Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx”) in accordance with the terms of this Lease.

Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, or as directed by Landlord, at Landlord’s Original Address specified in Section 1.1 hereof, or at such other place as Landlord shall from
11
time to time designate by notice, (1)(a) on the Rent Commencement Date (defined in Section 1.1 hereof) and thereafter monthly, in advance, on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Original Term, a sum equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of the Annual Fixed Rent (sometimes hereinafter referred to as “fixed rent”) and (1)(b) on the Commencement Date and thereafter monthly, in advance, on the first day of each and every calendar month during the Original Term, a sum equal to one twelfth (1/12th) of $1.00 per annum for each square foot of Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Space for tenant electricity subject to escalation as provided in Section 2.8 and (2) on the first day of each and every calendar month during the extension option period (if exercised), a sum equal to (a) one twelfth (1/12th) of the annual fixed rent as determined in Section 8.20 for the extension option period plus (b) then applicable monthly electricity charges (subject to escalation for electricity as provided in Section 2.8 hereof.

Xxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000, and all remittances received by Boston Properties Limited Partnership, as Agents as aforesaid, or by any subsequently designated recipient, shall be treated as payment to Landlord.
Annual Fixed Rent for any partial month shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord at such rate on a pro rata basis, and, if the Rent Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the first payment of Annual Fixed Rent which Tenant shall make to Landlord shall be a payment equal to a proportionate part of such monthly Annual Fixed Rent for the partial month from the Rent Commencement Date to the first day of the succeeding calendar month.
Additional Rent payable by Tenant on a monthly basis, as hereinafter provided, likewise shall be prorated, and the first payment on account thereof shall be determined in similar fashion but shall commence on the Commencement Date; and other provisions of this Lease calling for monthly payments shall be read as incorporating this undertaking by Tenant.
Notwithstanding that the payment of Annual Fixed Rent payable by Tenant to Landlord shall not commence until the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall be subject to, and shall comply with, all other provisions of this Lease as and at the times provided in this Lease.
The Annual Fixed Rent and all other charges for which provision is herein made shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord, without offset, deduction or abatement except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Lease.
The Rent Commencement Date in respect of the Premises (“RCD”) shall be the date which is 181 days after the Commencement Date (“Fixed Rent Abatement Period”) (i.e., Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Annual Fixed Rent during the first (1st) 180 days of the Term of the Lease in respect of the Premises (“Abated Fixed Rent”).
12
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if Tenant defaults at any time during the Term of the Lease and fails to cure such default within the applicable cure period under this Lease, all Abated Fixed Rent shall immediately become due and payable. The payment by Tenant of the Abated Fixed Rent in the event of a default shall not limit or affect any of Landlord’s other rights, pursuant to this Lease or at law or in equity. During the Fixed Rent Abatement Period, only Annual Fixed Rent payable in respect of the Premises shall be abated, and Tax Excess, Operating Expense Excess and all other costs and charges specified in the Lease shall remain as due and payable pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. In the event that Tenant pays to Landlord the Abated Fixed Rent in accordance with this Paragraph, then the monthly installments of Annual Fixed Rent thereafter (i.e., after Tenant makes such payment) payable by Tenant during the remainder of the initial Term of the Lease shall be reduced by the Monthly Abated Fixed Rent Reduction, as hereinafter defined. The “Monthly Abated Fixed Rent Reduction” shall be defined as the amount of Abated Fixed Rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord, amortized on a straight-line basis in equal monthly installments over the remainder of the initial Term of the Lease.

“Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises” shall mean (a) the same proportion of Landlord’s Operating Expenses for and pertaining to the Building as the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Space bears to the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building plus (b) the same proportion of Landlord’s Operating Expenses for and pertaining to the Site as the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Space bears to the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building.
“Base Operating Expenses” is hereinbefore defined in Section 1.1. Base Operating Expenses shall not include market-wide cost increases due to extraordinary circumstances, including but not limited to Force Majeure (as defined in Section 6.1), conservation surcharges, boycotts, strikes, embargoes or shortages.
15
“Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises” means (i) the same proportion of Base Operating Expenses for and pertaining to the Building as the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Space bears to the Rentable Floor Area of the Building plus (ii) the same proportion of Base Operating Expenses for and pertaining to the Site as the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Space bears to the Total Rentable Floor Area of the Building.
In the event that on the average less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Floor Area of the Building is leased during any calendar year during the Lease Term (including, without limitation, calendar year 2005 for purposes of calculating Base Operating Expenses), then Landlord’s Operating Expenses for each such calendar year which vary based on the level of occupancy (as, for example, cleaning expenses) shall be determined by Landlord to be an amount equal to the Landlord’s Operating Expenses which so vary and which would normally be expected to have been charged had ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Floor Area of the Building been leased during such calendar year. In no event shall Landlord receive on account of any extrapolation an amount in excess of actual costs incurred.
If with respect to any calendar year falling within the Term, or fraction of a calendar year falling within the Term at the beginning or end thereof, the Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises for a full calendar year exceed Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises, or for any such fraction of a calendar year exceed the corresponding fraction of Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises then, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount of such excess. Such payments shall be made at the times and in the manner hereinafter provided in this Section 2.6. (The Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises do not include the $1.00 for tenant electricity to be paid by Tenant at the time of payment of Annual Fixed Rent and for which provision is made in Section 2.5 hereof, separate provision being made in Section 2.8 of this Lease for Tenant’s share of increases in electricity costs.)
Landlord’s Operating Expense records shall be kept on a consistent basis from year to year. Not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of the first calendar year or fraction thereof ending December 31 and of each succeeding calendar year during the Term or fraction thereof at the end of the Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in reasonable detail and according to usual accounting practices certified by a representative of Landlord, showing Base Operating Expenses and Base Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises and also showing for the preceding calendar year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, Landlord’s Operating Expenses and Operating Expenses Allocable to the Premises. Said statement shall be rendered in form substantially similar to the Operating Expenses Statement Form attached hereto as Exhibit G. Said statement to be rendered to Tenant shall also show for the preceding year or fraction thereof as the case may be the amounts of operating expenses already paid by Tenant as Additional Rent, and the amount of operating expenses remaining due from, or overpaid by,
16
Tenant for the year or other period covered by the statement. Within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of such statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the balance of the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 2.6 with respect to the preceding year or fraction thereof, or Landlord shall credit any amounts due from it to Tenant pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 2.6 against (i) monthly installments of fixed rent next thereafter coming due or (ii) any sums then due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (or refund such portion of the overpayment as aforesaid if the Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord). Such refund, if any, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease provided Tenant was not in default at the expiration or termination of this Lease and provided Tenant does not then have any further obligations to Landlord. Within ten (10) days after Landlord’s receipt of a request for explanation from Tenant, Landlord shall provide to Tenant a reasonable explanation to Tenant of questions relating to Landlord’s Operating Expenses and such reasonable documentation of expenses for the year covered by such statement as Tenant may reasonably request.
In addition, Tenant shall make payments monthly on account of Tenant’s share of increases in Landlord’s Operating Expenses anticipated for the then current year at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of fixed rent. The amount to be paid to Landlord shall be an amount reasonably estimated annually by Landlord to be sufficient to cover, in the aggregate, a sum equal to Tenant’s share of such increases in operating expenses for each calendar year during the Term. Any increase in estimated annual estimated Landlord’s Operating Expenses shall be accompanied by a reasonable written explanation thereof.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no decrease in Landlord’s Operating Expenses shall result in a reduction of the amount otherwise payable by Tenant if and to the extent said decrease is attributable to vacancies in the Buildings rather than to any other causes.
Upon no less than ten (10) business days prior notice to Landlord, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, may examine Landlord’s books and records regarding the Operating Expense statement for the year submitted at any reasonable time specified by Landlord during Landlord’s business hours at a place designated by Landlord. Tenant shall hold such books and records in confidence and not disclose the same to any other party, including, without limitation, any other tenant in the Building. As a condition precedent to the conduct of any such audit, Tenant shall execute a confidentiality agreement binding Tenant and its auditor and all of their respective employees and agents in such form as determined by Landlord. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with any such examination and shall promptly make such records available to Tenant and Tenant’s accountant. Such audit right must be exercised within 180 days following Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s annual reconciliation or other statement showing Landlord’s determination of the Operating Expenses for the subject calendar year. Any such review or audit shall be limited to
17
the year reflected in such statement. In the event the audit shows an over-payment, or mischarged amount, then Landlord shall grant Tenant a rent credit in the amount previously paid by Tenant or if this Lease has expired or terminated Landlord shall pay to Tenant such amount (less any monies owned to Landlord under this Lease), which obligation shall survive such termination or expiration. All costs for any such audit shall be paid by Tenant, unless the amount of the discrepancy is identified to be more than five percent (5%) in which event Landlord shall pay for the costs of the audit. In no event shall Tenant employ or otherwise use or engage the services of any person, firm, consultant, accountant, advisor, agent or other representative to perform such audit whose fee or compensation is based in whole or in part on a percentage of the amount disputed or on a percentage of overpayment or savings or on any contingent basis.
2.7 | REAL ESTATE TAXES. |
If with respect to any full Tax Year or fraction of a Tax Year falling within the Term, Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises as hereinafter defined for a full Tax Year exceed Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises, or for any such fraction of a Tax Year exceed the corresponding fraction of Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises then, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by Tenant of the certified statement referred to below in this Section 2.7, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount of such excess. Not later than ninety (90) days after Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises are determined for the first such Tax Year or fraction thereof and for each succeeding Tax Year or fraction thereof during the Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in reasonable detail certified by a representative of Landlord showing for the preceding year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, real estate taxes on the Building and the Site and abatements and refunds of any taxes and assessments.

18
In addition, payments by Tenant on account of increases in real estate taxes anticipated for the then current year shall be made monthly at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of fixed rent. The amount so to be paid to Landlord shall be an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord to be sufficient to provide Landlord, in the aggregate, a sum equal to Tenant’s share of such increases, at least ten (10) days before the day on which such payments by Landlord would become delinquent.
To the extent that real estate taxes shall be payable to the taxing authority in installments with respect to periods less than a Tax Year, the foregoing statement shall be rendered and payments made on account of such installments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no decrease in Landlord’s Tax Expenses with respect to any Tax Year shall result in a reduction of the amount otherwise payable by Tenant if and to the extent said decrease is attributable to vacancies in the Building or partial completion of the Building rather than to any other causes.

ARTICLE III
CONDITION OF PREMISES; ALTERATIONS
3.1 | SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. |
(A) | Plans and Construction Process. |
(1) | Landlord’s Work. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is (i) a space plan (“Tenant Plan”) and (ii) a detailed scope (hereinafter called the “Building Standard Materials and Turnkey Scope”) showing the work to be performed by Landlord, at Landlord’s cost and expense, in order to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy (such work being hereinafter referred to as the “Landlord’s Work”). For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Landlord’s Work” shall mean all labor, materials and other work necessary for the construction of the improvements described in Exhibit B; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no responsibility for the installation or connection of Tenant’s computer, telephone, other communication equipment, systems or wiring. |
(2) | Additional Tenant Work. Attached hereto as Exhibit B-1 is a list of items of work included on the Tenant Plan which is work beyond the scope outlined in the Building Standard and Materials Turnkey Scope and therefore is not included within Landlord’s Work (such work being hereinafter referred to as the “Additional Tenant Work”). For the purpose of this Lease, the term “Additional Tenant Work” shall mean all labor, materials and other work necessary for the construction of the Additional Tenant Work and for the purchase and installation of the “Tenant’s Supplemental Air-Conditioning Units” (referred to in Section 3.5 hereof). Landlord’s Work and the Additional Tenant Work are collectively hereinafter called the “Work.” |
(3)(a) | Tenant Plan Excess Costs. It is understood and agreed that Landlord shall be responsible for the design costs associated with the Landlord’s Work and Tenant shall be responsible (as part of Tenant Plan Excess Costs, as hereinafter defined) for the design costs associated with the Additional Tenant Work. On or before January 28, 2005, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written statement of (i) the costs of the Additional Tenant Work including the “Tenant’s Supplemental A/C Units Costs” (defined in Section 3.5 hereof) (such costs in the aggregate being hereinafter referred to as the “Tenant Plan Excess Costs”), which such costs shall include a construction management fee equal to 4% of the Additional Tenant Work costs in excess of $200,000.00 and shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent |
22
in accordance with Section 3.4 below, and (ii) Landlord’s estimate of any delay which would likely result in the completion of the Landlord’s Work as the result of any particular item of Additional Tenant Work. In addition, Landlord shall not charge the 4% construction management fee on the cost of Tenant’s installation of its telecommunications wiring and cabling. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the installation thereof at its sole cost and expense and Landlord shall have no obligation to manage or otherwise oversee the installation thereof but Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof. |
(3)(b) | Landlord’s Notice to Tenant of Long Lead Items. On or before January 11, 2005, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a written list of “Long Lead Items” (hereinafter defined), the cost thereof and the length of the lead time. “Long Lead Items” shall mean any items of Work for which there is a long lead time in obtaining the materials therefore or which are specially or specifically manufactured, produced or milled for the Work in or to the Premises and require additional time for receipt or installation. |
(4) | Authorization to Proceed Date; Long Lead Item Release Date. On or before February 2, 2005 (herein called the “Authorization to Proceed Date”), Tenant shall give Landlord written authorization to proceed with the Additional Tenant Work in accordance with the Tenant’s Plan and Exhibit B-1 (such notice being referred to as the “Notice to Proceed”). In addition, Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver to Landlord any affidavits and documentation required in order to obtain all permits and approvals necessary for Landlord to commence and complete the Work on a timely basis (“Permit Documentation”). |
Further, Tenant shall, on or before January 14, 2005 (herein called the “Long Lead Item Release Date”), give Landlord written authorization to proceed to purchase and/or contract for the “Long Lead Items” (defined above). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant acknowledges that (i) certain Long Lead Items may still delay completion of the Work and thus result in a Tenant Delay even if Tenant does authorize them on or before the Long Lead Item Release Date, and (ii) any Long Lead Items which are added as a result of a change order after the Long Lead Item Release Date may delay completion of the Work and thus result in a Tenant Delay.
(5) | Change Orders. Tenant shall have the right, in accordance herewith, to submit for Landlord’s approval change proposals subsequent to the Notice to Proceed (each, a “Change Proposal”). Landlord agrees to |
23
respond to any such Change Proposal within such time as is reasonably necessary (taking into consideration the information contained in such Change Proposal) after the submission thereof by Tenant, advising Tenant of any anticipated increase in costs (“Change Order Costs”) associated with such Change Proposal, as well as an estimate of any delay which would likely result in the completion of the Work if a Change Proposal is made pursuant hereto (“Landlord’s Change Order Response”). Tenant shall have the right to then approve or withdraw such Change Proposal within five (5) business days after receipt of Landlord’s Change Order Response. If Tenant fails to respond to Landlord’s Change Order Response within such five (5) business day period, such Change Proposal shall be deemed withdrawn. If Tenant approves such Change Proposal, then such Change Proposal shall be deemed a “Change Order” hereunder and if the Change Order is made, then the Change Order Costs associated with the Change Order shall be deemed additions to the Tenant Plan Excess Costs and shall be paid in the same manner as Tenant Plan Excess Costs are paid as set forth in Section 3.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Change Order relates to a deletion in any item or component of Work which has not been contracted for or purchased as of the date of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Change Proposal therefore, Tenant shall only be responsible for the increase in the cost of the item or component of the Work covered by the Change Order in excess of the deleted item. |
(6) | Tenant Response to Requests for Information and Approvals. Except to the extent that another time period is expressly herein set forth, Tenant shall respond to any request from Landlord, Landlord’s architect, Landlord’s contractor and/or Landlord’s Construction Representative for approvals or information in connection with the Work, within three (3) business days of Tenant’s receipt of such request. |
(7) | Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in connection with Tenant’s obligations under this Section 3.1. |
(B) | Tenant Delay. |
(1) | A “Tenant Delay” shall be defined as the following which shall be set forth in writing by Landlord to Tenant within a reasonable period of time after Landlord learns of same: |
(a) | Tenant’s failure to give authorization to Landlord to proceed to purchase and/or contract for Long Lead Items on or before the Long Lead Item Release Date, |
24
Tenant’s failure to give authorization to Landlord to proceed with the Additional Tenant Work on or before the Authorization to Proceed Date or Tenant’s failure to provide all required Permit Documentation to Landlord on or before the Authorization to Proceed Date; or |
(b) | Tenant’s failure timely to respond to any request from Landlord, Landlord’s architect, Landlord’s contractor and/or Landlord’s Construction Representative including, without limitation, within the time periods set forth in Section 3.1(A)(6) above; |
(c) | Tenant’s failure to pay the Tenant Plan Excess Costs in accordance with Section 3.4; |
(d) | Any delay due to items of work for which there is a long lead time in obtaining the materials therefor or which are specially or specifically manufactured, produced or milled for the work in or to the Premises and require additional time for receipt or installation; |
(e) | Any delay in the completion of the Work resulting from particular items of the Additional Tenant Work, including, without limitation, Change Orders; or |
(f) | Any other delays caused by Tenant, Tenant’s contractors, architects, engineers or anyone else engaged by Tenant in connection with the preparation of the Premises for Tenant’s occupancy, including, without limitation, utility companies and other entities furnishing communications, data processing or other service, equipment, or furniture. |
The Tenant Delays defined in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 3.1(B)(1) are sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Accelerated Rent Tenant Delays,” the Tenant Delays defined in clauses (d), (e), and (f) of this Section 3.1(B)(1) are sometimes hereinafter referred to as “Other Tenant Delays.”
(2) | Tenant Obligations with Respect to Tenant Delays. |
(a) | Tenant covenants that no Tenant Delay shall delay commencement of the Term or the obligation to pay Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, regardless of the reason for |
25
such Tenant Delay or whether or not it is within the control of Tenant or any such employee. The Work shall be deemed substantially completed as of the date when the Work would have been substantially completed but for any Tenant Delays, as determined by Xxxxxxx & Caulfield, Architects in the exercise of its good faith business judgment. |
(b) | If any Accelerated Rent Tenant Delays occur: (i) Tenant shall, for the purpose of reimbursing Landlord for lost rent due to Landlord’s inability to proceed with the Work as scheduled, pay to Landlord an amount (“Accelerated Rent Payment”) equal to one day of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for each day of Accelerated Rent Tenant Delay, (ii) the Estimated Commencement Date shall be extended by each day of Accelerated Rent Tenant Delay, and (iii) if the Commencement Date occurs before the Estimated Commencement Date, then any Accelerated Rent Payment paid by Tenant shall be credited against the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant in respect of the period commencing as of the Commencement Date and ending as of the Estimated Commencement Date. |
(c) | Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the amount, if any, by which the cost of the Work is increased as the result of any Tenant Delay in excess of the amounts paid under Section 3.1(B)(2)(b) above and not otherwise credited to Tenant under said Section 3.1(B)(2)(b). |
(d) | If Landlord claims a Tenant Delay has occurred, Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably cooperate to revise the project schedule to the end that, insofar as reasonably feasible, lost time may be made up but Landlord shall in no event be obligated to engage in extraordinary efforts. Without limiting the foregoing, Landlord shall have no obligation to cause any Work to be performed other than during normal business hours and Landlord shall have no obligation to pay premium or overtime rates and/or charges. In determining whether a Tenant Delay has occurred, whether Accelerated Rent is due or whether Tenant is to reimburse Landlord on account of increases in cost due to a Tenant Delay only the net effect on the critical path is to be considered after giving effect to (i) changes in the work, which eliminate work or require less work or less costly work than originally contemplated in the project schedule and in fact reduce the time schedule and (ii) any mitigation of a delay by means of rescheduling of work subject to the foregoing. |
26
(e) | Any amounts due from Tenant to Landlord under this Section 3.1(B)(2) shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of billing therefor, and shall be considered to be Additional Rent. Nothing contained in this Section 3.1(B)(2) shall limit or qualify or prejudice any other covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease. |
(C) | Substantial Completion of the Work. |
(1) | Landlord’s Obligations. Subject to Tenant Delays and delays due to Force Majeure, as defined in Section 6.1 and subject to the provisions of Section 3.1(B)(2), Landlord shall use reasonable speed and diligence to have the Work substantially completed on or before the Estimated Commencement Date, but Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for failure so to complete construction of the Work in the Premises, except for the right to terminate this Lease, without further liability to either party, in accordance with the provisions hereinafter specified in Section 3.2. |
(2) | Definition of Substantial Completion. The Premises shall be treated as having been substantially completed on the later of: |
(a) | The date on which the Work, together with common facilities for access and services to the Premises, has been completed (or would have been completed except for Tenant Delays) except for items of work and adjustment of equipment and fixtures which can be completed after occupancy has been taken without causing material interference with Tenant’s use of the Premises (i.e. so-called “punch list” items), and |
(b) | The date when permission has been obtained from the applicable governmental authority, to the extent required by law, for occupancy by Tenant of the Premises for the Permitted Use, unless the failure to obtain such permission is due to a Tenant Delay. |
In the event of any dispute as to the date on which the Work has been substantially completed, the reasonable determination of Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, Architects as to such date shall be deemed conclusive and binding on both Landlord and Tenant.
27
(3) | Incomplete Work. Landlord shall complete as soon as conditions practically permit any incomplete items of Work, and Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in providing access as may be required to complete such work in a normal manner. |
(4) | Early Access by Tenant. Landlord shall permit Tenant access for installing Tenant’s trade fixtures in portions of the Premises when it can be done without material interference with remaining work or with the maintenance of harmonious labor relations. Any such access by Tenant shall be upon all of the terms and conditions of the Lease (other than the payment of Annual Fixed Rent) and shall be at Tenant’s sole risk, and Landlord shall not be responsible for any injury to persons or damage to property resulting from such early access by Tenant. |
(5) | Prohibition on Access by Tenant Prior to Actual Substantial Completion. If, prior to the date that the Premises are in fact actually substantially complete, the Premises are deemed to be substantially complete pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.1 (i.e. and the Commencement Date has therefore occurred), Tenant shall not (except with Landlord’s consent) be entitled to take possession of the Premises for the Permitted Use until the Premises are in fact actually substantially complete. |
(6) | Landlord’s Notice of Anticipated Date of Substantial Completion. Landlord shall give Tenant not less than fourteen (14) days advance notice of the anticipated date of substantial completion. |
(7) | Job meetings and Inspections. Landlord shall advise Tenant from time to time (which advice may be oral) of the periodic job meetings to be held respecting the conduct of Work and Tenant shall have the right to attend such job meetings. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to enter upon the Premises to inspect the progress of the Work but only at times when Work is being performed and in such a manner so as not to interfere with the progress thereof. |
3.2 | RENT ABATEMENT, OUTSIDE COMPLETION DATE AND TENANT’S TERMINATION RIGHT. |
(A) In the event that the Work shall not be substantially completed by the sixtieth (60th) day following the Estimated Commencement Date and if such failure to substantially complete is not due, in whole or in part, to any Tenant Delay or to any Change Order, then for each day that the Commencement Date is delayed beyond the 60th day following the Estimated Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with one (1) day’s free fixed rent which shall be in addition to the free rent resulting from the Rent Commencement Date being the 181st following the
28

(B) If Landlord shall have failed substantially to complete the Work on or before the Outside Completion Date as defined in Section 1.1 hereof (which date shall be extended automatically for such periods of time as Landlord is prevented from proceeding with or completing the same by reason of Force Majeure as defined in Section 6.1 or any act or failure to act of Tenant which interferes with Landlord’s construction of the Premises, without limiting Landlord’s other rights on account thereof), Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord of Tenant’s desire to do so before such completion and within the time period from the Outside Completion Date (as so extended) until the date which is thirty (30) days subsequent to the Outside Completion Date (as so extended); and, upon the giving of such notice, the term of this Lease shall cease and come to an end without further liability or obligation on the part of either party unless, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, Landlord substantially completes the Work to be performed by Landlord pursuant to Section 3.1. In the event that this Lease shall be terminated pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2(B), Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for (a) any Tenant Plan Excess Costs previously paid by Tenant to Landlord and (b) “Tenant’s Termination Damages” (hereinafter defined). “Tenant’s Termination Damages” shall be the reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses actually paid by Tenant to third parties unaffiliated and not employed by Tenant for, on account of or respecting the following in the Premises but not to exceed $300,00.00 in the aggregate: (i) legal fees paid by Tenant in negotiating this Lease and in enforcing this Section 3.2(B) in the event Tenant terminates pursuant hereto, (ii) project management services of a third party in supervising the installation of Tenant’s telecommunications equipment; (iii) consulting services of a third party in supervising the installation of Tenant’s audio visual equipment; (iv) voice and data wiring and cabling, (v) video installations in conference rooms, (vi) wiring and cabling in Tenant’s data center in the Premises, (vii) purchase and installation of audio amplification equipment and (viii) interior and exterior signage erected by Tenant pursuant to Section 8.26 of this Lease.

As a condition to being reimbursed for Tenant’s Termination Damages, Tenant shall be required to submit to Landlord reasonable written information evidencing actual payment of the foregoing. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any indirect, consequential, punitive or other damages or any other remedies. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the foregoing right of termination and payment shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy for Landlord’s failure so to complete such Work within such time and respecting Tenant’s termination under this Section 3.2(B) or otherwise. Each day of Tenant Delay shall be deemed conclusively to cause an equivalent day of delay by Landlord in substantially completing the Work pursuant to Section 3.1, and thereby automatically extend for each such equivalent day of delay the date of the Outside Completion Date.

In case Landlord is prevented or delayed from making any repairs, alterations or improvements, or furnishing any services or performing any other covenant or duty to be performed on Landlord’s part, by reason of any cause reasonably beyond Landlord’s control, including without limitation the causes set forth in Section 3.2 hereof as being reasonably beyond Landlord’s control, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant therefor, nor, except as expressly otherwise provided in Article VI, shall Tenant be entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent by reason thereof, or right to terminate this Lease, nor shall the same give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises.

32
Fixed Rent shall not be limited to the Insurance Amount. The “Insurance Amount” shall be an amount equal to the payment actually received by Landlord (but only allocable to and on account of the Premises) for such shut down of service to the Premises received from Landlord’s insurance carrier providing such loss of rents insurance less the amount of any deductible contained in such loss of rents insurance coverage. Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, in no event shall any of the events referred to in this Section give rise to a claim in Tenant’s favor that such failure constitutes actual or constructive, total or partial, eviction from the Premises.
Landlord reserves the right to stop any service or utility system, when necessary by reason of accident or emergency, or until necessary repairs have been completed; provided, however, that in each instance of stoppage, Landlord shall exercise reasonable diligence to eliminate the cause thereof.

Landlord may also maintain such other insurance as may from time to time be required by a mortgagee holding a mortgage lien on the Building. Further, Landlord may also maintain such insurance against loss of annual fixed rent and additional rent and such other risks and perils as Landlord deems proper. Any and all such insurance (i) may be maintained under a blanket policy affecting other properties of Landlord and/or its affiliated business organizations, (ii) may be written with deductibles as determined by Landlord and (iii) shall be subject to escalation reimbursement in accordance with Section 2.6. |

Unless such restoration is completed within one (1) year from the date repair or restoration work commences, such period to be subject, however, to extension where the delay in completion of such work is due to Force Majeure, as defined hereinbelow, (but in no event beyond fifteen (15) months from the date of repair or restoration work commences), Tenant, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Lease at any time after the expiration of such one-year (as extended) period until the restoration is substantially completed, such termination to take effect as of the thirtieth (30th) day after the date of receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s notice, with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof unless, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice, such restoration is substantially completed, in which case Tenant’s notice of termination shall be of no force and effect and this Lease and the Lease Term shall continue in full force and effect.

If Landlord shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.
6.3 | RIGHTS OF TERMINATION FOR TAKING. |
If the entire Building, or such portion of the Premises as to render the balance (if reconstructed to the maximum extent practicable in the circumstances) unsuitable for Tenant’s purposes, shall be taken by condemnation or right of eminent domain, Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to the other of its desire to do so, provided that such notice is given not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant has been deprived of possession. If either party shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.
Further, if so much of the Building shall be so taken that continued operation of the Building would be uneconomic as a result of the taking, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant of Landlord’s desire to do so not later than thirty (30) days after Tenant has been deprived of possession of the Premises (or such portion thereof as may be taken). If Landlord shall give such notice, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally established as the expiration date hereof.
Should any part of the Premises be so taken or condemned during the Lease Term hereof, and should this Lease not be terminated in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and the holder of any mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises or any ground lessor of any ground lease which includes the Site as part of the demised premises allows the net condemnation proceeds to be applied to the restoration of the Building, Landlord agrees that after the determination of the net amount of condemnation proceeds available to Landlord, Landlord shall use due diligence to put what may remain of the Premises into proper condition for use and occupation as nearly like the condition of the Premises prior to such taking as shall be practicable (excluding Tenant’s Property). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be obligated to expend for such repair and restoration any amount in excess of the net condemnation proceeds made available to it.
If the Premises shall be affected by any exercise of the power of eminent domain, then the Annual Fixed Rent, Tenant’s share of operating costs and Tenant’s share of real estate taxes shall be justly and equitably abated and reduced from the date that
52
physical possession is actually taken according to the nature and extent of the loss of use thereof suffered by Tenant; and in case of a taking which permanently reduces the Rentable Floor Area of the Premises, a just proportion of the Annual Fixed Rent, Tenant’s share of operating costs and Tenant’s share of real estate taxes shall be abated for the remainder of the Lease Term.
6.4 | AWARD. |
Landlord shall have and hereby reserves to itself any and all rights to receive awards made for damages to the Premises, the Buildings, the Complex and the Site and the leasehold hereby created, or any one or more of them, accruing by reason of exercise of eminent domain or by reason of anything lawfully done in pursuance of public or other authority. Tenant hereby grants, releases and assigns to Landlord all Tenant’s rights to such awards, and covenants to execute and deliver such further assignments and assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request, and if Tenant shall fail to execute and deliver the same within fifteen (15) days after notice from Landlord, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees that Landlord shall be irrevocably designated and appointed as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver in Tenant’s name and behalf all such further assignments thereof which conform with the provisions hereof.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in any condemnation proceeding a claim for the value of any of Tenant’s usual trade fixtures installed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant’s expense and for relocation and moving expenses, provided that such action and any resulting award shall not affect or diminish the amount of compensation otherwise recoverable by Landlord from the taking authority.

(i) | Tenant shall fail to pay the fixed rent, Additional Rent or other charges for which provision is made herein on or before the date on which the same become due and payable, and the same continues for five (5) days after notice from Landlord thereof; or |
(ii) | Landlord having rightfully given the notice specified in subdivision (a) above twice in any calendar year, Tenant shall thereafter in the same calendar year fail to pay the fixed rent, Additional Rent or other charges on or before the date on which the same become due and payable; or |
53
(iii) | Tenant shall assign its interest in this Lease or sublet any portion of the Premises in violation of the requirements of Section 5.6 through 5.6.5 of this Lease; or |
(iv) | Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any other covenant herein contained on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed and Tenant shall fail to remedy the same within thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant specifying such neglect or failure, or if such failure is of such a nature that Tenant cannot reasonably remedy the same within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall fail to commence promptly to remedy the same and to prosecute such remedy to completion with diligence and continuity; or |
(v) | Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises shall be taken on execution or by other process of law directed against Tenant; or |
(vi) | Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or answer seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief for itself under any present or future Federal, State or other statute, law or regulation for the relief of debtors, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or |
(vii) | A petition shall be filed against Tenant in bankruptcy or under any other law seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, or similar relief under any present or future Federal, State or other statute, law or regulation and shall remain undismissed or unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive), or if any debtor in possession (whether or not Tenant) trustee, receiver or liquidator of Tenant or of all or any substantial part of its properties or of the Premises shall be appointed without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant and such appointment shall remain unvacated or unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive) then, and in any of said cases (notwithstanding any license of a former breach of covenant or waiver of the benefit hereof or consent in a former instance), Landlord lawfully may, immediately or at any time thereafter, and without demand or further notice terminate this Lease by notice to Tenant, specifying a date not less than ten (10) days after the giving of such |
54
notice on which this Lease shall terminate, and this Lease shall come to an end on the date specified therein as fully and completely as if such date were the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the Lease Term (Tenant hereby waiving any rights of redemption), and Tenant will then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided. |
(b) | If this Lease shall have been terminated as provided in this Article, then Landlord may, without notice, re- enter the Premises, either by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and remove and dispossess Tenant and all other persons and any and all property from the same, as if this Lease had not been made, and Tenant hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end. |
(c) | In the event that this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in Section 7.1 (a) or shall be otherwise terminated by breach of any obligation of Tenant, Tenant covenants and agrees forthwith to pay and be liable for, on the days originally fixed herein for the payment thereof, amounts equal to the several installments of rent and other charges reserved as they would, under the terms of this Lease, become due if this Lease had not been terminated or if Landlord had not entered or re-entered, as aforesaid, and whether the Premises be relet or remain vacant, in whole or in part, or for a period less than the remainder of the Term, and for the whole thereof, but in the event the Premises be relet by Landlord, Tenant shall be entitled to a credit in the net amount of rent and other charges received by Landlord in reletting, after deduction of all expenses incurred in reletting the Premises (including, without limitation, remodeling costs, brokerage fees and the like), and in collecting the rent in connection therewith, in the following manner: |
Amounts received by Landlord after reletting shall first be applied against such Landlord’s expenses, until the same are recovered, and until such recovery, Tenant shall pay, as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, the amount which Tenant is obligated to pay under the terms of this Lease (Tenant’s liability prior to any such reletting and such recovery not in any way to be diminished as a result of the fact that such reletting might be for a rent higher than the rent provided for in this Lease); when and if such expenses have been completely recovered, the amounts received from reletting by Landlord as have not previously been applied shall be credited against Tenant’s obligations as of each day when a payment would fall due under this Lease, and only the net amount thereof shall be payable by Tenant. Further, amounts received by Landlord from such reletting for any period shall be credited only against obligations of Tenant allocable to such period, and shall not be credited against obligations of Tenant hereunder accruing subsequent or prior to such period; nor
55
shall any credit of any kind be due for any period after the date when the term of this Lease is scheduled to expire according to its terms.
(d) (i) | At any time after such termination and whether or not Landlord shall have collected any damages as aforesaid, as liquidated final damages and in lieu of all other damages beyond the date of notice from Landlord to Tenant, at Landlord’s election, Tenant shall pay to Landlord such a sum as at the time of the giving of such notice represents the amount of the excess, if any, of the total rent and other benefits which would have accrued to Landlord under this Lease from the date of such notice for what would be the then unexpired Lease Term if the Lease terms had been fully complied with by Tenant over and above the then cash rental value (in advance) of the Premises for the balance of the Lease Term. |
(d) (ii) | For the purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay damages in accordance with the immediately preceding paragraph, the total rent shall be computed by assuming that Tenant’s share of excess taxes, Tenant’s share of excess operating costs and Tenant’s share of excess electrical costs would be, for the balance of the unexpired Term from the date of such notice, the amount thereof (if any) for the immediately preceding annual period payable by Tenant to Landlord. |
(e) | In case of any Event of Default, re-entry, dispossession by summary proceedings or otherwise, Landlord may (i) re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term of this Lease and may grant concessions or free rent to the extent that Landlord considers advisable or necessary to re-let the same and (ii) may make such alterations, repairs and decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment considers advisable or necessary for the purpose of reletting the Premises; and the making of such alterations, repairs and decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent under re-letting. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease. |
Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises after Tenant vacates the Premises after the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder. Marketing of Tenant’s Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlord’s control in the
56
Building shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord’s obligation to use “reasonable efforts.” In no event shall Landlord be required to (i) 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 re-let the premises free of any claim of Tenant, (ii) lease the Premises to a tenant whose proposed use, in Landlord’s sole judgment, will cause an unacceptable mix of uses in the Buildings, (iii) relet the Premises before leasing other vacant space in the Building or other vacant space in other buildings of Landlord or affiliates of Landlord in Lexington and Waltham, Massachusetts, (iv) lease the Premises for a rental less than the current fair market rental then prevailing for similar office space in the Building, or (v) enter into a lease with any proposed tenant that does not have, in Landlord’s sole determination, sufficient financial resources or operating experience to operate the Premises in a first-class manner and to pay and perform the obligations of a tenant under such a lease.
(f) | The specified remedies to which Landlord may resort hereunder are not intended to be exclusive of any remedies or means of redress to which Landlord may at any time be entitled lawfully, and Landlord may invoke any remedy (including the remedy of specific performance) allowed at law or in equity as if specific remedies were not herein provided for. Further, nothing contained in this Lease shall 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 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. |
(g) | In lieu of any other damages or indemnity and in lieu of the recovery by Landlord of all sums payable under all the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1, Landlord may elect to collect from Tenant, by notice to Tenant, at any time after this Lease is terminated under any of the provisions contained in this Article VII or otherwise terminated by breach of any obligation of Tenant and before full recovery under such foregoing provisions, and Tenant shall thereupon pay, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the sum of the Annual Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent payable for the twelve (12) months ended next prior to such termination plus the amount of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent of any kind accrued and unpaid at the time of such election plus any and all expenses which the Landlord may have incurred for and with respect of the collection of any of such rent. |
57
7.2 | 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. The Tenant shall not assert any right to deduct the cost of repairs or any monetary claim against the Landlord from rent thereafter due and payable, but shall look solely to the Landlord for satisfaction of such claim.
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 | EXTRA HAZARDOUS USE. |
Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant will not do or permit anything to be done in or upon the Premises, or bring in anything or keep anything therein, which shall increase the rate of insurance on the Premises or on the Building above the standard rate applicable to premises being occupied for the use to which Tenant has agreed to devote the Premises; and Tenant further agrees that, in the event that Tenant shall do any of the foregoing, Tenant will promptly pay to Landlord, on demand, any such increase resulting therefrom, which shall be due and payable as Additional Rent thereunder.
8.2 | WAIVER. |
Failure on the part of Landlord or Tenant to complain of any action or non-action on the part of the other, no matter how long the same may continue, shall never be a waiver by Tenant or Landlord, respectively, of any of its rights hereunder. Further, no waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof by Landlord or Tenant shall be construed as a waiver of any of the other provisions hereof, and a waiver at any time of any of the provisions hereof shall not be construed as a waiver at any subsequent time of the same provisions. The consent or approval of Landlord or Tenant to or of any action by the other requiring such consent or approval shall not be construed to waive or render unnecessary Landlord’s or Tenant’s consent or approval to or of subsequent similar act by the other.
No payment by Tenant, or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to Landlord shall be treated otherwise than as a payment on account. The acceptance by Landlord of a check for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or upon any letter accompanying such check, that such lesser amount is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights or remedies which Landlord may have against Tenant.
58
8.3 | CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. |
Except as expressly provided in this Lease, the specific remedies to which Landlord may resort under the terms of this Lease are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or means of redress to which such party may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any provisions of this Lease. In addition to the other remedies provided in this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to seek the restraint by injunction of the violation or attempted or threatened violation of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease or to a decree compelling specific performance of any such covenants, conditions or provisions.
8.4 | QUIET ENJOYMENT. |
Tenant, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease on payment of the rent and observing, keeping and performing all of the 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 Term (exclusive of any period during which Tenant is holding over after the termination or expiration of this Lease without the consent of Landlord), without hindrance or ejection by Landlord or any persons lawfully claiming under Landlord to have title to the Premises superior to Tenant, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease; the foregoing covenant of quiet enjoyment is in lieu of any other covenant, express or implied; and it is understood and agreed that this covenant and any and all other covenants of Landlord contained in this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord and Landlord’s successors, including ground or master lessees, only with respect to breaches occurring during Landlord’s or Landlord’s successors’ respective ownership of Landlord’s interest hereunder, as the case may be.
Further, Tenant specifically agrees to look solely to Landlord’s then equity interest in the Building at the time owned including net casualty insurance proceeds and rents actually received (subject, however, to the rights of Landlord’s mortgage lenders from time to time in existence (collectively the “Mortgagees’ Rights”) which Mortgagees Rights shall in all events be superior to the rights of Tenant irrespective of (i) when any such mortgages, amendments thereto or replacements thereof are executed and (ii) the execution of any subordination, non-disturbance, attornment and/or recognition agreements), or in which Landlord holds an interest as ground lessee, for recovery of any judgment from Landlord; it being specifically agreed that neither Landlord (original or successor), nor any beneficiary of any trust of which any person holding Landlord’s interest is trustee, nor any member, manager, partner, director or stockholder, nor Landlord’s managing agent, shall ever be personally liable for any such judgment, or for the payment of any monetary obligation to Tenant. The provision contained in the foregoing sentence is not intended to, and shall not, limit any right that Tenant might otherwise have to obtain injunctive relief against Landlord or Landlord’s successors in interest, or any action not involving the
59
personal liability of Landlord (original or successor), any successor trustee to the persons named herein as Landlord, or any beneficiary of any trust of which any person holding Landlord’s interest is trustee, or of any manager, member, partner, director or stockholder of Landlord or of Landlord’s managing agent to respond in monetary damages from Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s equity interest aforesaid in the Building, but in no event shall Tenant have the right to terminate or cancel this Lease or to withhold rent or to set-off any claim or damages against rent as a result of any default by Landlord or breach by Landlord of its covenants or any warranties or promises hereunder, except in the case of a wrongful eviction of Tenant from the demised premises (constructive or actual) by Landlord continuing after notice to Landlord thereof and a reasonable opportunity for Landlord to cure the same. In no event shall Landlord ever be liable to Tenant for any indirect or , consequential or punitive damages or loss of profits or the like. In the event that Landlord shall be determined to have acted unreasonably in withholding any consent or approval under this Lease, the sole recourse and remedy of Tenant in respect thereof shall be to specifically enforce Landlord’s obligation to grant such consent or approval, and in no event shall the Landlord be responsible for any damages of whatever nature in respect of its failure to give such consent or approval nor shall the same otherwise affect the obligations of Tenant under this Lease or act as any termination of this Lease.
8.5 | NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE AND GROUND LESSOR. |
After receiving notice from any person, firm or other entity that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of the mortgaged premises, or that it is the ground lessor under a lease with Landlord, as ground lessee, which includes the Premises as a part of the demised premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such holder or ground lessor, and the curing of any of Landlord’s defaults by such holder or ground lessor within a reasonable time thereafter (including a reasonable time to obtain possession of the premises if the mortgagee or ground lessor elects to do so) shall be treated as performance by Landlord. For the purposes of this Section 8.5 or Section 8.15, the term “mortgage” includes a mortgage on a leasehold interest of Landlord (but not one on Tenant’s leasehold interest).
8.6 | ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS. |
With reference to any assignment by Landlord of Landlord’s interest in this Lease, or the rents payable hereunder, conditional in nature or otherwise, which assignment is made to the holder of a mortgage or ground lease on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees:
(a) | That the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof by the holder of such mortgage or the ground lessor, shall never be treated as an assumption by such holder or ground lessor of any of the obligations of Landlord hereunder, unless such holder, or ground lessor, shall, by notice sent to Tenant, specifically otherwise elect; and |
60
(b) | That, except as aforesaid, such holder or ground lessor shall be treated as having assumed Landlord’s obligations hereunder only upon foreclosure of such holder’s mortgage and the taking of possession of the Premises, or, in the case of a ground lessor, the assumption of Landlord’s position hereunder by such ground lessor. |
In no event shall the acquisition of title to the Building and the land on which the same is located by a purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases the entire Building or such land back to the seller thereof be treated as an assumption by such purchaser-lessor, by operation of law or otherwise, of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, but Tenant shall look solely to such seller-lessee, and its successors from time to time in title, for performance of Landlord’s obligations hereunder subject to the provisions of Section 8.4 hereof. In any such event, this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lease to such purchaser provided that such purchaser agrees to recognize the right of Tenant to use and occupy the Premises upon the payment of rent and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease and the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and provided that Tenant agrees to attorn to such purchaser. For all purposes, such seller-lessee, and its successors in title, shall be the landlord hereunder unless and until Landlord’s position shall have been assumed by such purchaser-lessor.
8.7 | SURRENDER. |
No act or thing done by Landlord during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid, unless in writing signed by Landlord. No employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall have any power to accept the keys of the Premises prior to the termination of this Lease. The delivery of keys to any employee of Landlord or of Landlord’s agents shall not operate as a termination of the Lease or a surrender of the Premises.
8.8 | BROKERAGE. |
(A) Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the broker, person or firm, if any, designated in Section 1.1 hereof; and in the event any claim is made against the Landlord relative to dealings by Tenant with brokers other than the Brokers, if any, designated in Section 1.1 hereof, Tenant shall defend the claim against Landlord with counsel of Tenant’s selection first approved by Landlord (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld) and save harmless and indemnify Landlord on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim.
61
(B) Landlord warrants and represents that Landlord has not dealt with any broker in connection with the consummation of this Lease other than the broker, person or firm, if any, designated in Section 1.1 hereof; and in the event any claim is made against the Tenant relative to dealings by Landlord with brokers other than the Brokers, if any, designated in Section 1.1 hereof, Landlord shall defend the claim against Tenant with counsel of Landlord’s selection and save harmless and indemnify Tenant on account of loss, cost or damage which may arise by reason of such claim. Landlord agrees that it shall be solely responsible for the payment of brokerage commissions to the Broker for the Original Term of this Lease, if any, designated in Section 1.1 hereof.
8.9 | INVALIDITY OF PARTICULAR PROVISIONS. |
If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8.10 | PROVISIONS BINDING, ETC. |
The obligations of this Lease shall run with the land, and except as herein otherwise provided, the terms hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns, respectively, of Landlord and Tenant and, if Tenant shall be an individual, upon and to his heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns. Each term and each provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant shall be construed to be both a covenant and a condition. The reference contained to successors and assigns of Tenant is not intended to constitute a consent to subletting or assignment by Tenant.
8.11 | RECORDING. |
Tenant agrees not to record the within Lease, but each party hereto agrees, on the request of the other, to execute a so-called Notice of Lease or short form lease in form recordable and complying with applicable law and reasonably satisfactory to both Landlord’s and Tenant’s attorneys. In no event shall such document set forth 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.
8.12 | NOTICES. |
Whenever, by the terms of this Lease, notice shall or may be given either to Landlord or to Tenant, such notice shall be in writing and shall be sent by overnight commercial courier or by registered or certified mail postage or delivery charges prepaid, as the case may be:
If intended for Landlord, addressed to Landlord at the address set forth in Article I of this Lease (or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Landlord by like notice) with a copy to Landlord, Attention: General Counsel.
62
If intended for Tenant, addressed to Tenant at the address set forth in Article I of this Lease except that from and after the Commencement Date the address of Tenant shall be the Premises with a copy to Tenant, Attention: Chief Financial Officer and with a copy to Tenant, Attention General Counsel or to such other address or addresses as may from time to time hereafter be designated by Tenant by like notice).
Except as otherwise provided herein, all such notices shall be effective when received; provided, that (i) if receipt is refused, notice shall be effective upon the first occasion that such receipt is refused or (ii) if the notice is unable to be delivered due to a change of address of which no notice was given, notice shall be effective upon the date such delivery was attempted.
Where provision is made for the attention of an individual or department, the notice shall be effective only if the wrapper in which such notice is sent is addressed to the attention of such individual or department.
Any notice given by an attorney on behalf of Landlord or by Landlord’s managing agent shall be considered as given by Landlord and shall be fully effective.
Time is of the essence with respect to any and all notices and periods for giving notice or taking any action thereto under this Lease.
8.13 | WHEN LEASE BECOMES BINDING. |
Employees or agents of Landlord have no authority to make or agree to make a lease or any other agreement or undertaking in connection herewith. The submission of this document for examination and negotiation does not constitute an offer to lease, or a reservation of, or option for, the Premises, and this document shall become effective and binding only upon the execution and delivery hereof by both Landlord and Tenant. All negotiations, considerations, representations and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and may be modified or altered only by written agreement between Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions hereof.
8.14 | SECTION HEADINGS. |
The titles of the Articles throughout this Lease are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify or aid in the interpretation, construction or meaning of the provisions of this Lease.
63
8.15 | RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE. |
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage now or hereafter on the Site or the Building, or both, and to each advance made or hereafter to be made under any mortgage, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and all substitutions therefor provided and on the express condition that the holder of such mortgage agrees to recognize the rights of Tenant under this Lease (including the right to use and occupy the Premises) upon the payment of rent and other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease and the performance by Tenant of Tenant’s obligations hereunder and Tenant agrees to attorn to the mortgagee and its successors and assigns. In confirmation of such subordination, recognition and attornment, Tenant, such mortgagee and Landlord shall execute and deliver promptly such instruments of subordination, recognition and attornment, reasonably acceptable to Tenant, such mortgagee and Landlord. In the event that any mortgagee or its respective successor in title shall succeed to the interest of Landlord, then, this Lease shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall and does hereby agree to attorn to such mortgagee or successor and to recognize such mortgagee or successor as its landlord. If any holder of a mortgage which includes the Premises, executed and recorded prior to the date of this Lease, shall so elect, this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder, shall be superior in right to the rights of such holder, with the same force and effect as if this Lease had been executed, delivered and recorded, or a statutory Notice hereof recorded, prior to the execution, delivery and recording of any such mortgage. The election of any such holder shall become effective upon either notice from such holder to Tenant in the same fashion as notices from Landlord to Tenant are to be given hereunder or by the recording in the appropriate registry or recorder’s office of an instrument in which such holder subordinates its rights under such mortgage to this Lease.
If in connection with obtaining financing a bank, insurance company, pension trust or other institutional lender shall request reasonable modifications in this Lease as a condition to such financing, Tenant will not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent thereto, provided that such modifications do not increase the monetary obligations of Tenant hereunder or materially adversely affect the leasehold interest hereby created.
8.16 | STATUS REPORTS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. |
Recognizing that Landlord may find it necessary to establish to third parties, such as accountants, banks, potential or existing mortgagees, potential purchasers or the like, the then current status of performance hereunder, Tenant, on the request of Landlord made from time to time, will promptly furnish to Landlord, or any existing or potential holder of any mortgage encumbering the Premises, the Building, the Site and/or the Complex or any potential purchaser of the Premises, the Building, the Site
64
and/or the Complex, (each an “Interested Party”), a statement of the status of any matter pertaining to this Lease, including, without limitation, acknowledgments that (or the extent to which) each party is in compliance with its obligations under the terms of this Lease. In addition, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, or any Interested Party designated by Landlord, financial statements of Tenant and any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, as reasonably requested by Landlord, including, but not limited to financial statements for the past three (3) years. Any such status statement or financial statement delivered by Tenant pursuant to this Section 8.16 may be relied upon by any Interested Party. With respect to financial statements of Tenant, the obligation of Tenant to deliver financial statements shall be deemed satisfied provided that Tenant is subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Tenant has timely filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission all reports and other documents required to be filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, all Forms 10-Q and Form 10-K.
8.17 | SELF-HELP. |
(A) If at any time there shall occur an Event of Default by Tenant in the performance of any obligation under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, to enter upon the Premises and to perform such obligation notwithstanding the fact that no specific provision for such substituted performance by Landlord is made in this Lease with respect to such default. In performing such obligation, Landlord may make any payment of money or perform any other act. All sums so paid by Landlord (together with interest at the rate of two and one-half percentage points over the then prevailing prime rate in Boston as set by Bank of America or its successor (but in no event greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law) and all costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be payable to Landlord immediately on demand. Landlord may exercise the foregoing rights without waiving any other of its rights or releasing Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease.
(B) In the event (a) Landlord fails to make such repairs as are required of Landlord under this Lease or to perform any other obligations of Landlord hereunder within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage on the Property of which Tenant has been given written notice by Landlord specifying the nature of such repairs or other obligations or (b) if such repairs or other obligations are of the type which cannot be made or performed within such thirty (30) days after such written notice from Tenant, then if Landlord fails to commence making such repairs or to perform such obligations within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter prosecute such repairs or other obligations to completion, then thereafter at any time prior to Landlord commencing such repairs or other obligations, Tenant may, but is not obligated to, make such repairs or perform such other obligations and may make a demand on Landlord for payment of the
65
reasonable out of pocket cost thereof actually incurred by Tenant and Landlord shall pay the reasonable out of pocket cost thereof; provided, however, if within thirty (30) days after receipt of such demand, Landlord shall not have paid same, then Tenant shall have the right to bring suit in a court of competent jurisdiction in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts seeking payment of the sum so claimed in Tenant’s demand. However, in no event shall Tenant have the right to offset against Annual Fixed Rent, or any Additional Rent or other charges payable under this Lease. Further, Landlord’s failure to pay Tenant’s demand shall not be a default of Landlord or give Tenant the right to terminate this Lease, Tenant’s only right being to bring suit as aforesaid.
8.18 | HOLDING OVER. |
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be treated as a tenancy at sufferance and shall be on the terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease, as far as applicable except that Tenant shall pay as a use and occupancy charge (“Holdover Rent”) an amount equal to the greater of (x) (i) for the first thirty (30) days of any such holdover 150% of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent calculated (on a daily basis) at the highest rate payable under the terms of this Lease and (ii) thereafter 200% of the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent calculated (on a daily basis) at the highest rate payable under the terms of this Lease, or (y) the fair market rental value of the Premises, in each case for the period measured from the day on which Tenant’s hold-over commences and terminating on the day on which Tenant vacates the Premises. In addition, Tenant shall save Landlord, its agents and employees harmless and will exonerate, defend and indemnify Landlord, its agents and employees from and against any and all damages which Landlord may suffer on account of Tenant’s hold-over in the Premises after the expiration or prior termination of the term of this Lease; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be liable on account of holdover damages other than for Holdover Rent, except that Tenant shall be liable for Landlord’s actual damages in the event Landlord has notified Tenant of a firm commitment by a bona fide third party to take space (which include or consists of all or some of the Premises demised under this Lease) as of a date certain and Tenant continues to hold over beyond said date certain. Nothing in the foregoing nor any other term or provision of this Lease shall be deemed to permit Tenant to retain possession of the Premises or hold over in the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. All property which remains in the Building or the Premises after the expiration or termination of this Lease shall be conclusively deemed to be abandoned and may either be retained by Landlord as its property or sold or otherwise disposed of in such manner as Landlord may see fit. If any part thereof shall be sold, then Landlord may receive the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at its option against the expenses of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, any arrears of rent or other charges payable hereunder by Tenant to Landlord and any damages to which Landlord may be entitled under this Lease and at law and in equity.
66
8.19 | NON-SUBROGATION. |
Any insurance carried by either party with respect to the Premises or property therein or occurrences thereon shall, if it can be so written without additional premium or with an additional premium which the other party agrees to pay, include a clause or endorsement denying to the insurer rights of subrogation against the other party to the extent rights have been waived by the insured prior to occurrence of injury or loss. Each party, notwithstanding any provisions of this Lease to the contrary, hereby waives any rights of recovery against the other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by such insurance (or which would have been covered had such party carried the insurance required to be carried by it under the Lease) to the extent of the indemnification received under such insurance policy. This waiver of rights by Tenant shall apply to, and be for the benefit of, Landlord’s managing agent.
8.20 | EXTENSION OPTION. |
(A) On the conditions (which conditions Landlord may waive by written notice to Tenant) that both at the time of exercise of the option to extend and as of the commencement of the Extended Term (i) there exists no Event of Default (defined in Section 7.1), (ii) this Lease is still in full force and effect, and (iii) Tenant has not assigned this Lease (except for an assignment permitted without Landlord’s consent under Section 5.6.1 hereof), Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term hereof either (i) with respect to the entire Premises or (ii) with respect only to the First Floor Premises (whichever of the two (2) preceding options Tenant has elected is hereinafter called “Tenant’s Elected Premises”) and otherwise upon all the same terms, conditions, covenants and agreements herein contained (except for the premises which shall be Tenant’s Elected Premises and except also for the Annual Fixed Rent which shall be adjusted during the option period as hereinbelow set forth) for one (1) period of five (5) years as hereinafter set forth. The option period is sometimes herein referred to as the “Extended Term.” Notwithstanding any implication to the contrary, Landlord has no obligation to make any additional payment to Tenant in respect of any construction allowance or the like or to perform any work to the Elected Premises as a result of the exercise by Tenant of any such option.
(B) If Tenant desires to exercise said option to extend the Lease Term, then Tenant shall give notice (the “Exercise Notice”) to Landlord, not earlier than twelve (12) months nor later than ten (10) months prior to the expiration of the Original Term of this Lease exercising such option to extend, which to be valid must include Tenant’s selection of Tenant’s Elected Premises which election shall be irrevocable. Said Exercise Notice shall state that Landlord has ten (10) business days to respond thereto. Within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice, Landlord shall provide Landlord’s quotation to Tenant of a proposed annual rent for the Extended Term for the Tenant’s Elected Premises (“Landlord’s Rent Quotation”). If at the expiration of thirty (30) days after the date when Landlord provides such quotation to Tenant (the “Negotiation Period”), Landlord and Tenant
67
have not reached agreement on a determination of an annual rental for the Extended Term and executed a written instrument extending the Term of this Lease pursuant to such agreement, then Tenant shall have the right, for thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, to make a request to Landlord for a broker determination (the “Broker Determination”) of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit F) for the Extended Term for the Tenant’s Elected Premises, which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth in Exhibit F. If Tenant timely shall have requested the Broker Determination, then the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term shall be ninety five percent (95%) of the Prevailing Market Rent as determined by the Broker Determination. If Tenant does not timely request the Broker Determination, then Annual Fixed Rent during the Extended Term shall be equal to Landlord’s Rent Quotation.
(C) Upon the giving of the Exercise Notice by Tenant to Landlord exercising Tenant’s option to extend the Lease Term in accordance with the provisions of subsection (B) above, then this Lease and the Lease Term hereof shall automatically be deemed extended, for the Extended Term, but only for the Tenant’s Elected Premises as set forth in Tenant’s Exercise Notice, without the necessity for the execution of any additional documents, except that Landlord and Tenant agree to enter into an instrument in writing setting forth the Annual Fixed Rent for the Extended Term as determined in the relevant manner set forth in this Section 8.20 and confirming Tenant’s Elected Premises; and in such event all references herein to the Lease Term or the Term of this Lease shall be construed as referring to the Original Term, as so extended, unless the context clearly otherwise requires, and except that there shall be no further option to extend the Lease Term. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Lease Term be extended for more than five (5) years after the expiration of the Original Term hereof.
8.21 | SECURITY DEPOSIT. |
(A) Concurrently with the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a security deposit in the amount of $500,000.00 and Landlord shall hold the same, throughout the Term of this Lease (including the Extended Term, if exercised), unless sooner returned to Tenant as provided in this Section 8.21, as security for the performance by Tenant of all obligations on the part of Tenant to be performed under this Lease. Such deposit shall be in the form of an irrevocable, unconditional, negotiable letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”). The Letter of Credit shall (i) be issued by and drawn on a bank reasonably approved by Landlord and at a minimum having a corporate credit rating from Standard and Poor’s Professional Rating Service of BBB- or a comparable minimum rating from Xxxxx’x Professional Rating Service, (ii) be in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iii) permit one or more draws thereunder to be made accompanied only by certification by Landlord that pursuant to the terms of this Lease, Landlord is entitled to draw upon such Letter of
68
Credit, (iv) permit transfers at any time without charge and (v) permit presentment in Boston, Massachusetts. If the credit rating for the issuer of such Letter of Credit falls below the standard set forth in (i) above or if the financial condition of such issuer changes in any other material adverse way, Landlord shall have the right to require that Tenant provide a substitute letter of credit that complies in all respects with the requirements of this Section, and Tenant’s failure to provide the same within ten (10) days following Landlord’s written demand therefor shall entitle Landlord to immediately draw upon the Letter of Credit. Any such Letter of Credit shall be for a term of two (2) years (or for one (1) year if the issuer thereof regularly and customarily only issues letters of credit for a maximum term of one (1) year) and shall in either case provide for automatic renewals through the date which is thirty (30) days subsequent to the scheduled expiration of this Lease (as the same may be extended) or if the issuer will not grant automatic renewals, the Letter of Credit shall be renewed by Tenant each year and each such renewal shall be delivered to and received by Landlord not later than thirty (30) days before the expiration of the then current Letter of Credit (herein called a “Renewal Presentation Date”). In the event of a failure to so deliver any such renewal Letter of Credit on or before the applicable Renewal Presentation Date, Landlord shall be entitled to present the then existing Letter of Credit for payment and to receive the proceeds thereof, which proceeds shall be held as Tenant’s security deposit, subject to the terms of this Section 8.21. Any failure or refusal of the issuer to honor the Letter of Credit shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation hereunder with regard to the security deposit. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right from time to time without prejudice to any other remedy Landlord may have on account thereof, to draw on all or any portion of such deposit held as a Letter of Credit and to apply the proceeds of such Letter of Credit or any cash held as such deposit, or any part thereof, to Landlord’s damages arising from such Event of Default on the part of Tenant under the terms of this Lease. If Landlord so applies all or any portion of such deposit, Tenant shall within seven (7) days after notice from Landlord deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore such deposit to the full amount stated in this Section 8.21. While Landlord holds any cash deposit Landlord shall have no obligation to pay interest on the same and shall have the right to commingle the same with Landlord’s other funds. Neither the holder of a mortgage nor the Landlord in a ground lease on property which includes the Premises shall ever be responsible to Tenant for the return or application of any such deposit, whether or not it succeeds to the position of Landlord hereunder, unless such deposit shall have been received in hand by such holder or ground Landlord.
(B) Commencing on the first (1st) anniversary of the Commencement Date, and annually thereafter during the Term on each subsequent anniversary of the Commencement Date, the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced by one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) until the amount of the Letter of Credit is equal to two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), at which time there shall be no further reduction in the Letter of Credit. It shall be a condition precedent to any reduction that at the time of each scheduled reduction, Tenant must have a minimum amount of
69
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities (collectively, “Cash Balance”) equal to the following (each an “Applicable Financial Test”): (i) for the first reduction, the greater of $20 million or five times the Tenant’s preceding 12 month deficit net cash flow (for example, if Tenant’s deficit net cash flow is $10 million, Tenant would still qualify for the first reduction if its Cash Balance is equal to or greater than $50 million, (ii) for the second reduction, the greater of $20 million or four times the Tenant’s preceding 12 month deficit net cash flow (for example, if Tenant’s deficit net cash flow is $12 million, Tenant would still qualify for the second reduction if its Cash Balance is equal to or greater than $48 million; and (iii) for the third reduction, the greater of $20 million or three times the Tenant’s preceding 12 months deficit net cash flow (for example, if Tenant’s deficit net cash flow as $12 million, Tenant would still qualify for the third reduction if its Cash Balance is equal to or greater than $36 million). As a condition precedent to any such reduction, Tenant shall be required to submit written documentation reasonably satisfactory to Landlord demonstrating satisfaction with the then Applicable Financial Test for the reduction date in question. However, if Tenant shall not satisfy the Applicable Financial Test for the reduction date in question (the “Prior Reduction Date”) but if for any subsequent reduction date (the “Current Reduction Date”) Tenant shall so satisfy the Applicable Financial Test for such Current Reduction Date, then Tenant shall be entitled to the reduction for the Current Reduction Date and the reduction for the Prior Reduction Date(s). By way of example, if Tenant shall not satisfy the Applicable Financial Test required for the first reduction date (being the first anniversary of the Commencement Date) but shall satisfy the Applicable Financial Test required for the second reduction date (being the second anniversary of the Commencement Date), then Tenant shall be entitled to both (i) the first $100,000.00 reduction in the Letter of Credit and (ii) the second $100,000 reduction in the Letter of Credit. Such annual reductions in the amount of the Letter of Credit shall be effected either by: (i) Landlord exchanging the Letter of Credit for a Letter of Credit delivered by Tenant which reduces the amount of the Letter of Credit by $100,000.00), or (ii) Landlord accepting in writing an amendment, in form reasonably to Landlord, to the Letter of Credit then being held by Landlord whereby the amount of such General Letter of Credit is reduced by $100,00.00. It shall be an express condition to any reduction in the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Paragraph that Tenant is not then (i.e. as of the relevant anniversary date) in default under the terms of this Lease without the benefit of notice or grace. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default occurs in Tenant’s obligations under the Lease during the twelve month period immediately preceding any date as of which a reduction in the amount of the Letter of Credit is scheduled to occur, then there shall be no reduction in the amount of the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Paragraph on such scheduled reduction date.
(C) Return of Letter of Credit. To the extent that Landlord has not previously drawn upon the Letter of Credit, and to the extent that Tenant is not otherwise in default of its obligations under the Lease as of the termination date of the Lease, Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration or termination of the Term of the Lease.
70
8.22 | LATE PAYMENT. |
If Landlord shall not have received any payment or installment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent (the “Outstanding Amount”) on or before the date on which the same first becomes payable under this Lease (the “Due Date”), the amount of such payment or installment shall incur a late charge equal to the sum of: (a) five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Amount for administration and bookkeeping costs associated with the late payment and (b) interest on the Outstanding Amount from the Due Date through and including the date such payment or installment is received by Landlord, at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) the rate announced by Fleet National Bank (or its successor) from time to time as its prime or base rate (or if such rate is no longer available, a comparable rate reasonably selected by Landlord), plus two percent (2%), or (ii) the maximum applicable legal rate, if any. Such interest shall be deemed Additional Rent and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
8.23 | TENANT’S PAYMENTS. |
Each and every payment and expenditure, other than Annual Fixed Rent, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent or additional rent hereunder, whether or not the provisions requiring payment of such amounts specifically so state, and shall be payable, unless otherwise provided in this Lease, within ten (10) days after written demand by Landlord, and in the case of the non-payment of any such amount, Landlord shall have, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies, all the rights and remedies available to Landlord hereunder or by law in the case of non-payment of Annual Fixed Rent. Unless expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, the performance and observance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed and observed by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Except only as otherwise specifically provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.6 hereof, if Tenant has not objected to any statement of Additional Rent which is rendered by Landlord to Tenant within ninety (90) days after Landlord has rendered the same to Tenant, then the same shall be deemed to be a final account between Landlord and Tenant not subject to any further dispute. In the event that Tenant shall seek Landlord’s consent or approval under this Lease, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, as Additional Rent, for all reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses, including legal and architectural costs and expenses, incurred by Landlord in processing such request, whether or not such consent or approval shall be given.
8.24 | WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. |
To induce Landlord to enter into this Lease, Tenant hereby waives any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (other than compulsory counterclaims which, if not made, are deemed waived) brought by either Landlord or Tenant on any matters whatsoever arising out of or any way connected with this
71
Lease, the relationship of the Landlord and the Tenant, the Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises and/or any claim of injury or damage, including but not limited to, any summary process eviction action.
8.25 | TENANT’S RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER TO LEASE ADDITIONAL SPACE |
(A) The provisions of this Section 8.25 shall only apply in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the rentable floor area in the Building presently leased to ICF Consulting, Inc. (the “Entire ICF Space”). The Entire ICF Space is hereinafter called the “First Offer Space.” The entire First Offer Space consists of (i) space on the second floor of the Building (herein called the “Second Floor First Offer Space”) and (ii) space on the third floor of the Building (herein called the “Third Floor First Offer Space”). The Second Floor First Offer Space and the Third Floor First Offer Space are each labeled as “First Offer Space” on the Plans attached hereto as Exhibit D-1. Subject to the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in this Section 8.25, Tenant may exercise its rights under this Section 8.25 at any time during the Lease Term.
(B)(i) Provided that (i) there has been no default under the Lease, (ii) Tenant has not assigned this Lease (except for an assignment or subletting pursuant to Section 5.6.1 hereof), and (iii) this Lease is still in full force and effect, Landlord agrees not to enter into a lease or leases to relet the entire First Offer Space or any portion thereof without first giving to Tenant an opportunity to lease such space as hereinafter set forth. When any First Offer Space becomes so available for reletting, Landlord shall notify Tenant (“Landlord’s Notice”) of the availability of such First Offer Space and the business terms upon which Landlord is willing so to lease such space. If Tenant determines to exercise Tenant’s Right of First Offer, Tenant shall do so, if at all, by giving Landlord notice (the “Exercise Notice”) of Tenant’s desire to lease (i) entire amount of the First Offer Space so offered by Landlord, (ii) the Second Floor First Offer Space (if that is part of the First Offer Space being offered), or (iii) the Third Floor First Offer Space (if that is part of the First Offer Space being offered) (“Tenant’s Elected Space”) (Tenant having no right to lease any other combination, configuration or portions of the entire First Offer Space) on such terms as proposed by Landlord in Landlord’s Notice within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s Notice to Tenant . To be valid, Tenant’s Exercise Notice must specify Tenant’s Elected Space. Within ten (10) days business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Exercise Notice, Landlord shall provide to Tenant Landlord’s quotation of a proposed annual rent for the Tenant’s Elected Space for the term set forth in Landlord’s Notice (“Landlord’s Rent Quotation”).
(B)(ii) If at the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date when Landlord provides such quotation to Tenant (the “Negotiation Period”), Landlord and Tenant have not reached agreement on a determination of an annual rental for the Tenant’s Elected Space and executed a written instrument adding the Tenant’s Elected Space to the premises demised to Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall have the right, for ten (10) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, to make a
72
request to Landlord for a broker determination (the “Broker Determination”) of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined in Exhibit F) for the Tenant’s Elected Space for the term set forth in Landlord’s Notice, which Broker Determination shall be made in the manner set forth in Exhibit F. If Tenant timely shall have requested the Broker Determination, then the Annual Fixed Rent for the Tenant’s Elected Space for the balance of the then existing Term shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the Prevailing Market Rent as determined by the Broker Determination. If Tenant does not timely request the Broker Determination, then the Annual Fixed Rent for the subject First Office Space shall be equal to Landlord’s Rent Quotation. If Tenant shall not so exercise such right within such ten (10) day period, time being of the essence in respect of such exercise, Tenant shall have no further right of offer hereunder with respect to the entire First Offer Space or any portion thereof and Landlord shall be free to enter unto one or more leases of the entire First Offer Space or any portion thereof with another prospective tenant or tenants upon terms and conditions as Landlord shall determine, which terms may include rights or options to extend the term or to expand the size of the premises under such lease or leases. All space added to this Lease pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be part of the Premises and the Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Space shall be increased by the Rentable Floor Area of the space so added to the Premises.
(C) If Tenant fails to exercise Tenant’s right of first offer or is deemed not to have exercised its first offer as to a specific space but subsequently desires to lease such space, Tenant may notify Landlord in writing of its offer to lease a specific space (“Tenant’s Offer Notice”). If at the time of Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Offer Notice Landlord has not leased such space to another tenant or is not then negotiating with a third party to lease such space (or portion thereof) and Landlord, in its sole discretion, is willing to accept Tenant’s offer to lease such space to Tenant, then Landlord may, at its sole election, by written notice to Tenant given within ten (10) business days after receipt of Tenant’s Offer Notice, agree to accept Tenant’s offer to lease such space. Landlord’s acceptance shall be accompanied by Landlord’s quotation to Tenant of a proposed annual rent for such space for the remainder of the then current term of this Lease (“Landlord’s Rent Quotation”). If at the expiration of fifteen (15) days after the date when Landlord provides such quotation to Tenant (the “Negotiation Period”), Landlord and Tenant have not reached agreement on a determination of an annual rent for such space and executed a written instrument adding such space to the premises demised to Tenant under this Lease, then the provisions of Section 8.25(B)(ii) shall apply, it being agreed that for purposes of this Section 8.25(c) all references in said Section 8.25(B)(ii) to “Tenant’s Elected Space” or the “First Offer Space” shall be deemed to be references to the space covered by this Section 8.25(c). The provisions of this Section 8.25(c) are subject to the provisions of Section 8.25(D).
(D) If Tenant shall exercise any such right of first offer and if, thereafter, the then occupant of the premises with respect to which Tenant shall have so exercised such right wrongfully fails to deliver possession of such premises at the time when its
73
tenancy is scheduled to expire, commencement of the term of Tenant’s occupancy and lease of such additional space shall, in the event of such holding over by such occupant, be deferred until possession of the additional space is delivered to Tenant. In the event of any such holdover by such occupant, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause such occupant to vacate such space which shall be limited to filing and prosecuting an eviction action (but not taking or defending any appeal). However, if the then tenant or occupant of such first offer space shall not vacate the first offer space within three (3) months after the date when its tenancy or occupancy is scheduled to expire, Tenant shall have the right, by written notice to Landlord given within ten (10) days after the expiration of such 3 month period, to terminate only its exercise of such right of first offer and the same shall be Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy at law, in equity or otherwise (“Tenant’s ROFO Termination”). The failure of the then tenant or occupant of such premises to so vacate and/or Tenant’s ROFO Termination shall not constitute a default or breach by Landlord and shall not give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or to deduct from, offset against or withhold Annual Fixed Rent or additional rent (or any portions thereof) or give Tenant any other rights at law, in equity or otherwise except for the ROFO Termination.
8.26 | SIGNAGE |
(A) Provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred (ii) this Lease shall not have been terminated for any reason, (iii) Tenant has not assigned this Lease nor sublet more than eighty percent (80%) of the Total Rentable Floor Area of Tenant’s Space (except for an assignment or subletting pursuant to Section 5.6.1 hereof) and (iv) this Lease is still in full force and effect (herein collectively called “Tenant’s Exterior Sign Conditions”), then and only then, Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to one (1) sign on the exterior of the Building in a location selected by Landlord (the “Building Signage”); provided, however, that Tenant acknowledges that ICF Consulting Group, Inc., another tenant in the Building, also has a right to exterior Building Signage and that the location thereof shall be as determined by Landlord and Tenant’s Building Signage shall not conflict therewith. The ICF building signage shall not be larger or in a more prominent location than Tenant’s Building Signage, all as reasonably determined by Landlord. Further, as a condition precedent to Tenant’s Building Signage, the Tenant’s Building Signage must be first approved by Landlord as to design, size, location, material, method or installation, other aesthetics (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Tenant’s Building Signage must comply with all applicable Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Town of Lexington, Zoning By-Law) and Tenant first obtains all permits, approvals, consents and the like as shall be required under and pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements from time to time in effect and applicable. In order to accommodate Tenant, Landlord, agrees to install the Tenant’s Building Signage but in no event shall the Commencement Date be delayed or otherwise extended for any reason including, without limitation, Tenant’s failure or inability to obtain applicable permits, approvals, consents or the like or to
74
comply with applicable Legal Requirements and/or if Tenant’s Building Signage is not installed. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses regarding the Building Signage including, without limitation, design costs, installation costs, all application, permit and approval costs. Once Tenant’s Building Signage is installed, Landlord shall perform the maintenance and repair thereof but Tenant shall be responsible for all replacements and the cost thereof and all maintenance, repair, and replacement costs. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant regarding Tenant’s obtaining approvals of the Building Signage provided Landlord shall not be required to expend any monies, assume any costs or expenses or undertake any liability. The failure of Tenant to obtain any permits, approvals, consents or the like required by Legal Requirements from time to time in effect and applicable, or the lack of Landlord’s cooperation shall not affect this Lease in any way and, without limitation, Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease and shall have no right to any abatement, set off or other reduction of Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other charges payable under this Lease.
(B) In addition, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s expense, install one (1) sign identifying Tenant at the main lobby entrance to the Building (“Tenant’s Lobby Sign”); provided however, that as a condition precedent thereto, Tenant’s Lobby Sign is first approved by Landlord as to design, size, material, method of installation, other aesthetics and location (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The general location of Tenant’s Lobby Sign shall be as shown on the Plan attached hereto as Exhibit H. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has previously granted lobby signage rights to ICF Consulting, Inc. Landlord hereby reserves the right to add the signage of all other tenants to or in the main lobby of the Building.
(C) The rights set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section shall be available only so long as (i) Tenant satisfies and is in compliance with all of Tenant’s Exterior Sign Conditions and (ii) this Lease is in full force and effect and (iii) there shall not occur any Event of Default.
(D) Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, install a tenant directory in the lobby of the Building and shall list Tenant thereon.
8.27 | LOBBY IMPROVEMENTS. At Landlord’s sole cost and expense, Landlord shall construct the renovations in the main entrances, lobby and common areas of the Building in accordance with plans prepared by Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx, Architects dated July 14, 2003. Such renovations shall be substantially completed on or before the Commencement Date. |
8.28 | CAFETERIA. Provided and on the condition that there shall not occur an Event of Default (defined in Section 7.1(a) hereof) and this Lease shall be in full force and effect, then during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall cause a cafeteria to be |
75
operated by it, by an affiliate of Landlord, or by a third party operator, in any such case in such portion of the common area of the Building as determined by Landlord in its sole discretion. Such cafeteria shall be for all tenants, subtenants and other occupants from time to time of the Building including Tenant but not for the general public. The style of operation, days and hours of operation, staffing, methods of operation, the food to be offered and the price thereof and all other aspects of the operation of the cafeteria shall be determined solely by the cafeteria operator, whether Landlord, an affiliate of Landlord or a third party operator. Any and all subsidies or other payments of any type or amount made or granted by Landlord respecting the operation of the cafeteria shall be included in “Landlord’s Operating Expenses” under Section 2.6 hereof. |
8.29 | ROOF RIGHTS. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section, (a) Tenant shall have the right, in common with the rights of Landlord, other tenants of the Building and others as may be designated or licensed by Landlord, to install and operate two (2) satellite dish receiving/transmission antennae and wires, cables, conduits, and associated equipment (collectively, the “Communications Equipment”) which shall only be used by Tenant in conjunction with its conduct of the Permitted Uses (and for no other purpose) on a portion of the roof of the Building, (b) Tenant shall have the right, in common with the rights of Landlord, other tenants in the Building and others as may be designated or licensed by Landlord or its affiliates, to connect the Communications Equipment to the interior of the Premises (provided, however, that any cable or wiring and/or conduit installed by or for Tenant or with respect to any Communications Equipment installed pursuant to this Section by or for Tenant shall run through the core, or be concealed in the walls of the Building or chases of the Building or shall otherwise be appropriately concealed, and shall exit the Building at or below ground level) and (c) Tenant shall maintain the Communications Equipment in good order, condition and repair and Tenant shall have a right of temporary access from time to time, as may be reasonably approved by Landlord in advance except in the case of an emergency, over the roof of the Building to the extent necessary to install, maintain, inspect, repair, and replace the Communications Equipment. Tenant shall make no attachments to and penetrations of the roof required for the Communications Equipment without Landlord’s prior approval which approval may be conditioned on Tenant’s agreement as to the maintenance and restoration of the affected portion of the roof and other affected areas. In no event shall Tenant place a load on the roof of the Building exceeding an average rate of forty (40) pounds of live load per square foot of roof area. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Tenant may not install any Communications Equipment or connect any Communications Equipment to the Premises except with the prior approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In furtherance thereof, with respect to any Communications Equipment, Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans and specifications (including, but not limited to, design, size, weight and configuration) for such Communications Equipment and the proposed location thereof on the roof of the Building for
76
Landlord’s approval, (including, but not limited to the size and aesthetics of the Communications Equipment and the architectural compatibility and relationship between the Communications Equipment and the general area of the site and neighboring roads). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall make no penetrations of or attachments to the roof for any of its Communications Equipment or otherwise without Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditional. All of the Communications Equipment shall only be used in conjunction with Tenant’s conduct of the Permitted Uses and for no other purposes. However, Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to select the location on the roof for the placement of the Communications Equipment.
Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall repair any damage to the Building (including but not limited to the roof) resulting from the installation, operation, maintenance, repair replacement or removal of the Communications Equipment including sealing and repairing all roof penetrations. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, Tenant, at Tenant’s expense shall remove all of the Communications Equipment and restore the affected portions of the Building to as near as practicable its condition prior to the installation thereof; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove conduits and wiring for such Communications Equipment which is located within walls or within ceiling plenums of the Building. In addition, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, (i) maintain the integrity and watertightness of the roof and other areas around and affected by any such penetrations and attachments and (ii) remove all Communications Equipment and related equipment and repair and restore the area of the roof affected by the penetrations and attachments, at the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term or Landlord may perform same for Tenant’s account and at Tenant’s expense.
Further, in no event shall the installation, operation, maintenance, repair, replacement or removal of any Communications Equipment interfere with the use or occupancy of the Building by any tenant or by others entitled thereto or with the use of any other Tenants’ Communications Equipment. In addition, Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining in full force and effect such permits, licenses, approvals, special permits and other governmental authorizations, if any, as shall be required for the installation, maintenance and operation of the Communications Equipment by applicable law, by-law, rule or regulation and the failure or inability of Tenant to obtain any such permits, licenses, approvals, special permits and other governmental authorizations shall in no way (i) constitute a default of Landlord, (ii) give Tenant any right to an abatement, offset or other reduction in Annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or other charges payable under this Lease or (iii) give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease.
The rights herein granted to Tenant are in common with the rights of Landlord and other tenants of the Building from time to time to use or to grant to or license others from time to time the right to use any portion of the roof for the installation,
77
operation, replacement, repair, renovation, removal and inspection of communications, reception, transmission, or other like equipment and appurtenances.
Further, the rights herein granted to Tenant shall expire if (i) there shall be an Event of Default of Tenant under this Lease or (ii) this Lease shall terminate or otherwise expire.
8.30 | GOVERNING LAW. |

In making the selection, in no event shall the Third Broker have any power to amend, modify, compromise, average or blend either Landlord’s Broker’s Rent Determination or Tenant’s Broker’s Determination, it being the intent of Landlord and Tenant that the Third Broker shall simply select one of either Landlord’s Broker’s Rent Determination or Tenant’s Broker’s Rent Determination which, in the Third Broker’s judgment, most accurately and fairly defines the Prevailing Market Rent for the space under Section 8.20 or Section 8.25, as the case may be, based on the requirements of this Section. The Third Broker shall advise Landlord and Tenant in writing by the expiration of said fourteen (14) day period of the Third Broker’s Rental Selection as so determined and the Third Broker’s Rental Selection shall be the Prevailing Market Rent for purposes of Sections 8.20 and this Exhibit.
“Prevailing Market Rent” shall be computed as of the applicable date at the then current arms-length negotiated rentals being charged to new or renewal tenants (for renewals and extensions which do not have prenegotiated contract rents) for comparable space in comparable buildings, but in determining comparability, taking into account and giving effect to, without limitation, such considerations as: size, location, lease term, amenities and services provided by Landlord; the then as is condition of the Premises, the extent and scope of the Landlord’s Work and the Additional Tenant Work performed pursuant to Article III of this Lease and the need, if any, for refurbishing of the Premises in its then condition; and such inducements, allowances and concessions, if any, customarily then being offered to tenants seeking similar space for a comparable term in comparable buildings in the relevant market area (provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any allowances or concessions). Such Prevailing Market Rent determination (x) may include provision for annual increases in rent during the applicable term if so determined, and (y) shall take account of, and be expressed in relation to, provisions for paying for operating expenses, taxes and tenant electricity as contained in the Lease.
5. | Costs. Each party shall pay the costs and expenses of the broker selected by it and each shall pay one half (1/2) of the costs and expenses of the Third Broker. |
6. | Failure to Select Broker or Failure of Broker to Serve. If Tenant shall have requested a Broker Determination and Landlord shall not have designated a broker within the time period provided therefor above, then Tenant’s Broker shall alone make the determination of Prevailing Market Rent in writing to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of Landlord’s right to designate a broker hereunder. If Tenant and Landlord have both designated brokers but the two brokers so designated do not, within a period of fifteen (15) days after the appointment of the second broker, agree upon and designate the Third Broker willing so to act, the Tenant, the Landlord or either broker previously designated may request the Greater Boston Real Estate Board, Inc. to designate the Third Broker willing so to act and a broker so appointed shall, for all purposes, have the same standing and powers as though he had been seasonably appointed by the brokers first |

appointed. In case of the inability or refusal to serve of any person designated as a broker, or in case any broker for any reason ceases to be such, a broker to fill such vacancy shall be appointed by the Tenant, the Landlord, the brokers first appointed or the said Greater Boston Real Estate Board, Inc., as the case may be, whichever made the original appointment, or if the person who made the original appointment fails to fill such vacancy, upon application of any broker who continues to act or by the Landlord or Tenant such vacancy may be filled by the said Greater Boston Real Estate Board, Inc., and any broker so appointed to fill such vacancy shall have the same standing and powers as though originally appointed. |
