or the calculations set forth on Landlord's statements, then on condition

Credit shall not be automatically renewed at the expiration of the then

October 14, 1998, each of which are attached hereto as EXHIBIT SP
and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, the "Space
Plans"). Based upon the Space Plans, Landlord shall cause to be
prepared, or at Tenant's option, Tenant's architect shall prepare,
design development documents ("Design Documents"). In the event
Landlord causes to be prepared the Design Documents, Tenant shall
review and approve the Design Documents in writing within seven (7)
days of delivery thereof to Tenant. In the event Tenant elects to
have its architect prepare the Design Documents, Landlord shall
provide Tenant with an allowance of $0.45 per square foot of

prepare the Design Documents ("Design Documents Allowance"). Upon

amount not to exceed the Design Documents Allowance. Based upon the
Space Plans and the Design Documents, Landlord shall, at its sole
cost and expense, cause to be prepared construction documents
("Construction Documents"). Tenant shall review the Construction
Documents and either approve or submit
6
in writing to Landlord any revisions within seven (7) days of
delivery thereof to Tenant. If Tenant submits revisions to
Landlord, Tenant shall review and approve the revised Construction
Documents within four (4) business days of delivery thereof to
Tenant. Any disapproval or revisions by Tenant of the Construction
Documents or, in the event Landlord causes the Design Documents to
be prepared, the Design Documents on a basis inconsistent with the
Space Plans shall constitute a Tenant Delay and in no event shall
such disapproval or revisions increase the cost of the work set
forth in the Space Plans. In the event that Tenant's architect
prepares the Design Documents, any inconsistency with the Space
Plans shall constitute a Tenant Delay and in no case shall such
inconsistency increase the cost of the work set forth in the Space
Plans. Landlord shall exercise all reasonable efforts to cause the
tenant improvement work to be built in accordance with the Space
Plans, Design Documents and the Construction Documents
(collectively, the "Landlord's Work"). Tenant shall have no claim
against Landlord for failure so to complete such Landlord's Work
except as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 4.2. Landlord
shall perform the Landlord's Work at its sole cost and expense. If
Tenant requests any change in Landlord's Work, Landlord shall
notify Tenant within three (3) business days of the cost thereof.
Tenant shall notify Landlord within three (3) business days of
receipt of Landlord's statement of the change order cost as to
whether Tenant authorizes Landlord to proceed with the change
order. In the absence of such notice, Landlord shall not proceed
with the change order, and Tenant's request therefor shall be
deemed withdrawn. Any increase in the cost of Landlord's Work
resulting from a change by Tenant in any of the Landlord's Work
thereof shall be paid to Landlord either 100% in advance or on such
other schedule as Landlord may in its discretion determine, such
determination to be made by Landlord at the time of its approval of
such changes to Landlord's Work. Tenant shall, if requested by
Landlord, execute a work letter confirming such excess costs prior
to the time Landlord shall be required to commence work.

Landlord's Work shall not include a refrigerator, microwave,
icemaker or accordion partition with header.

as of which:
i. Landlord's Work (including the base building work specified
in Exhibit SP) has been completed except for items of work
(and, if applicable, adjustment of equipment and fixtures)
which can be

completed after occupancy has been taken which will not
materially interfere with Tenant's use and its ability to
open, operate and conduct business within the Premises
(i.e., so-called "punch list" items),
ii. Tenant has been given notice of the date that Landlord's
Work was or will be completed, such notice to be given by
Landlord to Tenant at least two (2) weeks' prior to the
anticipated date of completion,

an equivalent use or occupancy permit for the Premises and
the Building ( a "Certificate of Occupancy") shall be

temporary Certificate of Occupancy is issued, Landlord
shall use diligent efforts to obtain appropriate extensions
prior to the expiration of the same. In the event that the
temporary Certificate of Occupancy expires and, as a result
thereof, Tenant is prohibited by the building inspector
from occupying the Premises for the Permitted Uses, Tenant
shall (in addition to the remedy provided in Article
4.2(d)) be entitled to an abatement in Basic Rent and
Escalation Charges for the period during which it is so
prohibited from occupying the Premises,
iv. The common areas on the first (1st) and third (3rd) floors
of the Building are substantially complete, and
v. All life safety electrical plumbing, HVAC, water and
elevator services ("Critical Building Services") are
available to the Premises.
The determination as to whether the Premises are ready for occupancy
shall be made by ADD, Inc. (or such other architect as may be selected
by Landlord) and shall be conclusive and binding on Landlord and Tenant.
On the day prior to Tenant's move-in to the Premises, Landlord, or its
designee, and Tenant, or it designee, shall determine in writing the so
called "punch list" items described in Paragraph 4.2 (c)(i), above.
Landlord shall complete within thirty (30) days or as soon as conditions
permit all "punch list" items and Tenant shall afford Landlord access to
the Premises for such purposes. All telephone installation in the
Premises shall be the responsibility of the Tenant. Failure of delay of
such installation shall not delay the above completion date.
8
d. If the Premises shall not be ready for occupancy within ninety (90)
days following the Scheduled Completion Date (which period shall be
extended automatically one day for each day of delay in the
Premises being ready for occupancy resulting from force majeure or
Tenant's Delay or both), Tenant shall have the right to terminate
this Lease by giving notice to Landlord of Tenant's desire so to do
within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such period; and,
upon the giving of such notice, this Lease shall cease and come to
an end without further liability or obligation on the part of
either party unless, within such 30-day period, Landlord
substantially completes Landlord's Work (as defined in Article 4.2
(c)); and such right of termination shall be Tenant's sole and
exclusive remedy at law or in equity for Landlord's failure so to
complete such Landlord's Work within such time. If the Premises
shall not be ready for occupancy by the Scheduled Completion Date
(which period shall be extended automatically for periods of force
majeure and Tenant's Delay), and this Lease shall not have been
terminated, Tenant shall receive a credit against Basic Rent next
due for each day following the Scheduled Completion Date (as
extended as aforesaid) that the Premises are not ready for
occupancy.
As used herein, the term "force majeure" shall mean a time
extension equal to the aggregate of any delays when the party
required to perform the respective obligation is prevented from
doing so, despite the exercise of reasonable diligence, and such
delay is caused by: (i) Acts of God, (ii) changes in government
regulations, (iii) casualty, (iv) strike, lockouts or other such
labor difficulties (unless such strike, lockout or labor difficulty
is caused by the use of non-union labor other than the use of
non-union labor by Tenant), (v) extraordinary weather conditions,
including earthquakes and hurricanes, and other natural disasters,
(iv) an inability to obtain supplies or parts for which there are
no available substitutions, (vii) failure of power, (viii) riots,
wars, acts of public enemy or insurrections, (ix) fires, explosions
or (x) other acts reasonably beyond such parties' control, but in
no event shall the term include economic or financing difficulties
or delays by contractors or subcontractors which are not directly
attributable to one or more of the matters listed in the preceding
items (i) through (x), inclusive.
e. Landlord shall permit Tenant access to the Premises for a period of
at least fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the Commencement
Date, without requiring payment of Basic Rent or other charges, for
the limited purpose of allowing Tenant or its contractors to
install fixtures and wiring for data and telephone services when
such access may be provided without material interference with the
remaining Landlord Work provided that any such work to be performed
by Tenant or its
9
contractors during such period shall (i) not interfere with the
remaining Landlord Work, (ii) be coordinated with the remaining
Landlord Work in such a manner as to maintain harmonious labor
relations and not cause any work stoppage or damage to the Premises
or the Building and (iii) not interfere with Building construction
or operation. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Landlord will be
using union labor in connection with its Work in the Premises and
the Building and Tenant agrees not to employ or permit the use of
any labor or otherwise take any action which might result in a
labor dispute involving personnel providing services in the
Building pursuant to arrangements with Landlord.
f. If a delay shall occur in the date the Premises are ready for
occupancy pursuant to paragraph (c) as the result of any of the
following (a "Tenant's Delay"):
i. Any request by Tenant that Landlord delay in the
commencement or completion of Landlord's Work for any
reason;
ii. Any change by Tenant in any of Landlord's Work, which, in
Landlord's reasonable judgment, causes a delay in
Landlord's completion of Landlord's Work;
iii. Any other act or omission of Tenant or its officers,
agents, servants or contractors which, in Landlord's
reasonable judgment, causes a delay in Landlord's
completion of Landlord's Work; or
iv. Any reasonably necessary displacement of any of Landlord's
Work from its place in Landlord's construction schedule
resulting from any of the causes for delay referred to in
clauses i., ii., and iii. of this paragraph and the fitting
of such Work back into such schedule; or
v. Any act or omission of Tenant in violation of paragraph (e)
above.
A delay by Tenant shall not ripen into a Tenant Delay unless and
until Landlord shall have notified Tenant in writing (the "Notice
of Tenant's Delay") of the act, omission or failure to act which
Landlord alleges as the basis for such Tenant Delay. The Notice of
Tenant's Delay shall describe such act, omission or failure in
reasonable detail and shall be deemed effective when transmitted by
facsimile to those parties identified on Exhibit TD attached hereto
at the facsimile number set forth beside the name for each such
party. The Tenant's Delay shall
10
begin to accrue on the day that the facsimile is so transmitted.
Landlord's facsimile transmission log shall be conclusive evidence
of the giving of the Notice of Tenant's Delay. Landlord shall be
required to give only one (1) Notice of Tenant's Delay with respect
to any continuing act, omission or failure (it being agreed that
multiple Notices shall not be required for any particular act,
omission or failure to give rise to a Tenant's Delay equal to the
number of days that such act, omission or failure continues).
If and to the extent that a Tenant's Delay shall occur, then Tenant
shall, from time to time, and within twenty (20) days after demand
therefor, pay the Landlord as an additional charge for each day of
such delay equal to the amount of Basic Rent, Escalation Charges
and other charges that would have been payable hereunder calculated
on a per diem basis for the number of days in the month in which
the Commencement Date would have occurred had the Commencement Date
occurred prior to such delay. Tenant also shall pay to Landlord
with twenty (20) days of invoice therefor, any additional costs
incurred by Landlord in completing the work to the extent that such
costs are reasonably attributable to Tenant's Delay.
4.3 CONCLUSIVENESS OF LANDLORD'S PERFORMANCE; WARRANTIES
Except to the extent to which Tenant shall have given Landlord written
notice (including punchlist items), not later than the end of the second
full calendar month next beginning after the Commencement Date, of
respects in which Landlord has not performed Landlord's Work, Tenant
shall be deemed to have acknowledged that all Landlord's Work has been
completed to Tenant's satisfaction and that Tenant has waived any claim
that Landlord has failed to perform any of Landlord's Work. Landlord
agrees to correct any defect due to faulty workmanship or materials in
Landlord's Work, provided Tenant shall have given written notice of such
defects to Landlord prior to the first anniversary of the Commencement
Date. From and after the expiration of such twelve (12) month period,
Tenant shall be entitled to the benefit of any applicable warranties
obtained by Landlord from third parties with respect to Landlord's Work
provided that Tenant shall be solely responsible for enforcing such
warranties directly against the party providing the same.
4.4 COMMENCEMENT DATE AGREEMENT
Within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the Term of this
Lease, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date Agreement in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit CDA and made a part hereof, confirming the
Building Rentable Area, the Premises Rentable Area, the Commencement Date,
Expiration
11
Date and the Basic Rent per annum during the Term of this Lease. The
Commencement Date Agreement shall not be recorded with the Registry of Deeds.
ARTICLE V
USE OF PREMISES
5.1 PERMITTED USE
a. Tenant agrees that the Premises shall be used and occupied by
Tenant only for Permitted Uses and for no other purpose.
b. Tenant agrees to conform to the following provisions during the
Term of this Lease:
i. Tenant shall cause all freight to be delivered to or
removed from the Building and the Premises in accordance
with reasonable rules and regulations established by
Landlord therefor;
ii. Tenant will not place on the exterior of the Premises
(including both interior and exterior surfaces of windows
and doors) or on any part of the Building outside the
Premises, any sign, symbol, advertisement or the like
visible to public view outside of the Premises without the
prior consent of Landlord, which Landlord may give or
withhold in its sole discretion. Landlord shall provide
building standard signage on the entry door to the Premises
provided that Tenant has submitted to Landlord a plan or
sketch of the sign to be placed on such entry doors and
that such plan or sketch is reasonably acceptable to
Landlord. In addition, Landlord agrees to maintain a tenant
directory in the lobby of the Building in which will be
placed, at Landlord's expense, Tenant's name and the
location of the Premises in the Building. Tenant shall have
the use of a pro-rata number of the strips on the tenant
directory, based on the ratio of the Premises Rentable Area
to the Building.
iii. Tenant shall not perform any act or carry on any practice
which may injure the Premises, or any other part of the
Building, or cause any offensive odors or loud noise or
constitute a nuisance or a menace to any other tenant or
tenants or other persons in the Building; and
iv. Tenant shall not operate any cooking apparatus (except for
coffee making equipment, microwave or toaster ovens within
employee
12
break areas of the Premises), or locate more than two (2)
vending machines in the Premises.
5.2 INSTALLATIONS AND ALTERATIONS BY TENANT
a. Tenant shall make no alterations, additions or improvements
(collectively, "Improvements") in or to the Premises without
Landlord's prior written consent provided that subsequent to the
completion of the initial Landlord Work, Landlord's consent shall
not be required if such Improvements (i) are non-structural and do
not exceed in the aggregate a cost of $15,000 or (ii) are of a
decorating nature (i.e., carpeting, painting, wallpaper)
irrespective of the cost. With respect to Improvements requiring
Landlord's consent, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold,
condition or delay its consent for non-structural Improvements to
the Premises. All Improvements shall:
i. Be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in
compliance with all applicable laws;
ii. Be made only by contractors or mechanics approved by
Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed provided that Tenant agrees not to
employ or permit the use of any labor or otherwise take any
action which might result in a labor dispute involving
personnel providing services in the Building pursuant to
arrangements made by Landlord;
iii. Be made at Tenant's sole expense and at such times and in
such manner as Landlord may from time to time reasonably
designate; and
iv. Become part of the Premises and the property of Landlord.
Tenant agrees not to employ or permit the use of any labor
or otherwise take any action which might result in a labor
dispute involving personnel providing services in the
Building pursuant to arrangements made by Landlord.
b. All articles of personal property and all business fixtures,
machinery and equipment and furniture owned or installed by Tenant
solely at its expense in the Premises ("Tenant's Removable
Property") shall remain the Property of Tenant and shall be removed
by Tenant at any time prior to the expiration of this Lease,
provided that Tenant, at its expense, shall repair any damage to
the Premises and the Building caused by such removal.
13
c. Notice is hereby given that Landlord shall not be liable for any
labor or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant upon
credit, and that no mechanic's or other lien for any such labor or
materials shall attach to or affect the reversion or other estate
or interest of Landlord in and to the Premises. Whenever and as
often as any mechanic's lien shall have been filed against the
Property based upon any act or interest of Tenant or of anyone
claiming through Tenant, Tenant shall forthwith take such action by
bonding, deposit or payment as will remove or satisfy the lien.
Landlord shall have the option, but not the obligation, of
removing, bonding over or paying such lien if Tenant has not done
so within fifteen (15) days following Landlord's notice to Tenant
of the filing of the same, and any amounts paid by Landlord
therefor shall be paid to Landlord within 10 business days after
invoice therefor as additional rent hereunder.
d. Tenant shall not be obligated to remove at the end of the Term of
this Lease (i) any Improvement unless Landlord specifies an
Improvement for removal at the time Landlord consents to such
Improvement or (ii) any improvements built by Landlord as part of
the initial fit-up of the Premises which would customarily be
considered standard tenant improvement (collectively referred to
herein as "Building Standard Office Improvements").
ARTICLE VI
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
6.1 PROHIBITION
a. Tenant covenants and agrees that neither this Lease nor the term
and estate hereby granted, nor any interest herein or therein, will
be assigned, mortgaged, pledged, encumbered or otherwise
transferred and that neither the Premises nor any part thereof will
be encumbered in any manner by reason of any act or omission on the
part of Tenant, or used or occupied or permitted to be used or
occupied, by anyone other than Tenant, or for any use or purpose
other than a Permitted Use, or be sublet (which term, without
limitation, shall include granting of concessions, licenses and the
like) in whole or in part, without, in each instance, having first
received the express written consent of Landlord which, in the case
of any subletting (except to another tenant in the Building or
other buildings owned by Landlord or its beneficiaries), will not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In all other
cases, Landlord's consent may be withheld in its sole discretion.
The foregoing restrictions shall not be applicable to an assignment
of this Lease or a subletting of the Premises by Tenant to (i) a
subsidiary
14
wholly owned by Tenant, (ii) a controlling corporation (which owns
a majority of the outstanding stock of Tenant), (iii) or any other
corporation, the stock in which is wholly owned by the stockholders
of Tenant or (iv) to any entity resulting from a sale, buy-out,
merger or consolidation with Tenant (each of the entities described
in the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv) being referred to herein as an
"Affiliate") provided that Tenant shall prior to the effective date
of such assignment provide to Landlord evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord that, as of the date of such assignment,
the assignee shall have a net worth equal to or greater than that
of Tenant as of the date of execution of this Lease. It shall be a
condition of the validity of any assignment, whether with the
consent of Landlord or to an Affiliate, that the assignee agrees
directly with Landlord, by written instrument in form reasonably
satisfactory to Landlord, to be bound by all the obligations of
Tenant hereunder including, without limitation, the provisions
restricting assignment and subletting set forth in this Article VI.
No assignment or subletting shall relieve Tenant from its
obligations hereunder and Tenant shall remain fully and primarily
liable therefor.
b. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof
be sublet or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord may, at
any time following a default by Tenant hereunder beyond applicable
notice and grace periods, collect rent and other charges from the
assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected
to the rent and other charges herein reserved, but no such
assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a
waiver of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee,
subtenant or occupant as a tenant or a release of Tenant from the
further performance by Tenant of its obligations hereunder. The
consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall in no way
be construed to relieve Tenant or any successor from obtaining the
express consent in writing of Landlord to any further assignment or
subletting except as may otherwise be provided in this Article VI.
No assignment or subletting and no use of the Premises, including
without limitation by an Affiliate, shall affect Permitted Uses.
6.2 EXCESS PAYMENTS
If:
i. The rent and other sums received by Tenant on account of a
sublease of all or any portion of the Premises exceeds the
Basic Rent and Escalation Charges allocable to the space
subject to the sublease (in the proportion of the area of
such space to the entire
15
Premises) plus actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Tenant in connection with Tenant's subleasing of such
space, including brokerage commissions to a licensed
broker, rent concession allowances which are reasonable and
customary in the Quincy/Braintree market and the cost of
preparing such space for occupancy by the subtenant, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord, as an additional charge, 50% of such
excess, monthly as received by Tenant; or
ii. Any payment received by Tenant on account of any assignment
of this Lease exceeds the actual out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment,
including brokerage commissions to a licensed broker, rent
concession allowances which are reasonable and customary in
the Quincy/Braintree market and the cost of preparing space
for the assignee, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as an
additional charge, 50% of such excess when received by
Tenant.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article VI, if Tenant
shall intend to assign this Lease to a party other than an Affiliate of
Tenant or intend to enter into a sublease with a party other than an
Affiliate of Tenant for substantially all of the Premises for
substantially all of the remaining Term of this Lease, Tenant shall so
notify Landlord in writing (which notice shall state the earliest
effective date intended by Tenant for such proposed assignment or
subletting), and Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by giving
notice to Tenant of such election not later than fifteen (15) business
days after receiving such notice from Tenant, whereupon this Lease shall
terminate on and as of the earliest effective date of such subletting or
assignment, as such date was set forth in the notice from Tenant, with
the same force and effect as if such date were the date originally
established as the expiration date hereof.
ARTICLE VII
RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS AND CONDITIONS OF PREMISES;
SERVICES TO BE FURNISHED BY LANDLORD
7.1 LANDLORD REPAIRS
a. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord agrees to keep
in a first class manner consistent with other first class buildings
in the greater suburban Boston market, and in good order, condition
and repair the roof, public areas (including common areas and the
parking garage), exterior walls (including glass on exterior
Building walls) and structure of the Building (including plumbing,
mechanical and electrical
16
systems), all insofar as they affect the Premises, except that
Landlord shall in no event be responsible to Tenant for the
condition of glass in and about the Premises or for the doors
leading to the Premises, or for any condition in the Premises or
the Building caused by any act or neglect of Tenant, its invitees
or contractors. Landlord shall not be responsible to make any
improvements or repairs to the Building other than as expressly in
this Section 7.1 provided, unless expressly provided otherwise in
this Lease or unless such repairs are due to the acts or negligence
of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors.
b. Landlord shall never be liable for any failure to make repairs
which, under the provisions of this Section 7.1 or elsewhere in
this Lease, Landlord has undertaken to make unless Tenant has given
notice to Landlord of the need to make such repairs, and Landlord
has failed to commence to make such repairs within thirty (30) days
after receipt of such notice (or, in the case of emergency, within
such shorter period as may be reasonable in the circumstances), or
fails to proceed with reasonable diligence to complete such
repairs. Upon such failure, Tenant shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to make such repair, whereupon Landlord shall
forthwith reimburse Tenant for the reasonable costs incurred by
Tenant upon receipt of an invoice from Tenant. In no event shall
Tenant have a right of offset or abatement of Basic Rent or other
amounts due hereunder.
7.2 TENANT'S AGREEMENT
a. Tenant will keep neat and clean and maintain in good order,
condition and repair the Premises and every part thereof, excepting
only those repairs for which Landlord is responsible under the
terms of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear of the Premises, and
damage by fire or other casualty and as a consequence of the
exercise of the power of eminent domain; and shall surrender the
Premises, at the end of the term, in such condition. Without
limitation, Tenant shall maintain and use the Premises in
accordance with all directions, rules and regulations of the proper
officers of governmental agencies having jurisdiction, and shall,
at Tenant's own expense, obtain all permits, licenses and the like
required by applicable law, except that Landlord shall obtain, at
its cost and expense, a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises
as specified in Section 4.2 hereof. Tenant shall be responsible for
the cost of repairs which may be made necessary by reason of damage
to common areas in the Building by Tenant, Tenant's independent
contractors, or Tenant's invitees.
17
b. If repairs are required to be made by Tenant pursuant to the terms
hereof, Landlord may demand that Tenant make the same within 30
days after written notice, and if Tenant refuses or neglects to
commence such repairs within such 30 day period or to complete the
same within a reasonable time thereafter provided Tenant commence
such repairs within such 30 day period and diligently pursues
completion thereof (provided that such repairs shall be completed
within 90 days following Landlord's initial notice), Landlord may
(but shall not be required to do so) make or cause such repairs to
be made and shall not be responsible to Tenant for any loss or
damage that may accrue to Tenant's stock or business by reason
thereof. If Landlord makes or causes such repairs to be made,
Tenant agrees that Tenant shall within 30 days after written demand
(which demand shall include a reasonably detailed statement of
Landlord's expenses and, if applicable, invoices from contractors
and suppliers), pay to Landlord the cost thereof as an additional
charge hereunder. If Landlord has paid the contractors and
suppliers prior to seeking payment from Tenant hereunder (but
without the requirement to do so), Landlord shall provided evidence
of such payment to Tenant together with its statement for payment
hereunder.
7.3 FLOOR LOAD - HEAVY MACHINERY
a. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor in the Premises
exceeding 100 lbs. (live load) per square foot of usable area.
Landlord reserves the right to reasonably prescribe the weight and
position of all business machines and mechanical equipment,
including safes, which shall be placed so as to distribute the
weight. Business machines and mechanical equipment shall be placed
and maintained by Tenant at Tenant's expense in settings
sufficient, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, to absorb and
prevent vibration, noise and annoyance. Tenant shall not move any
safe, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight, bulky matter or
fixtures into or out of the Building without Landlord's prior
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed and may include a requirement to provide
insurance in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably deem necessary
to protect the common areas of the Building affected during such
move.
b. If any such safe, machinery, equipment, freight, bulky matter or
fixtures requires special handling, Tenant agrees to employ only
persons holding a Master Rigger's License to do such work, and that
all work in connection therewith shall comply with applicable laws
and regulations. Any such moving shall be at the sole risk and
hazard of Tenant, and Tenant will exonerate, indemnify and save
Landlord harmless against
18
and from any liability, loss, injury, claim or suit resulting
directly or indirectly from such moving, unless such liability,
loss, injury, claim or suit resulting from such moving is due to
the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's
agents, employees or contractors.
c. Except in the case of emergency or a scheduled closing of the
Building, Landlord shall provide to Tenant (subject to reasonable
security procedures which may be imposed by Landlord) access to the
Building, an elevator and the loading dock, twenty-four hours per
day, 365 days per year.
7.4 BUILDING SERVICES
a. Landlord shall, on Business Days from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
(except on Saturdays only from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.), furnish
heating and cooling as normal seasonal changes may require to
provide reasonably comfortable space temperature and ventilation
for occupants of the Premises under normal business operation at an
occupancy of not more than one person per 150 square feet of Usable
Floor Area and an electrical load not exceeding 4.5 xxxxx per
square foot of Usable Floor Area. If Tenant shall require air
conditioning, heating or ventilation outside the hours and days
above specified, Landlord shall furnish such service and Tenant
shall pay therefor such reasonable charges to be applied in
non-discriminatory manner as may from time to time be in effect
(without imposition by Landlord of any administrative fee for
electric service for overtime HVAC). In the event Tenant introduces
into the Premises personnel or equipment which overloads the
capacity of the Building system or in any other way interferes with
the system's ability to perform adequately its proper functions,
supplementary systems may, if and as needed, in Landlord's
reasonable discretion, be provided by Landlord, at Tenant's expense
provided that Landlord has first notified Tenant of the overload
and has given Tenant a reasonable opportunity to remove such excess
personnel or equipment prior to installing the supplementary
systems. Except in the case of emergency, Landlord shall provide to
Tenant (subject to reasonable security procedures which may be
imposed by Landlord) access to the Building, an elevator and a
loading dock twenty-four (24) hours a day, three hundred sixty-five
(365) days a year).
b. Landlord shall also provide:
i. Hot water for lavatory purposes and cold water (at
temperatures supplied by the City of Quincy) for drinking,
lavatory and toilet purposes. If Tenant uses water for any
purpose other than for
19
ordinary lavatory and drinking purposes, Landlord may
assess a reasonable charge (not to exceed the actual cost
of the additional water) for the additional water so used
or install a water meter and thereby measure Tenant's water
consumption for all purposes. In the latter event, Tenant
shall pay the cost of the meter and the cost of
installation thereof and shall keep such meter and
installation equipment in good working order and repair.
Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on such
meter, together with the sewer charge based on such meter
charges, as and when bills are rendered and if Tenant is in
default in making such payment, Landlord may pay such
charges and collect the same from Tenant, within ten (10)
days after written demand therefor, as an additional charge
hereunder. All piping and other equipment and facilities
required for use of water outside the Building core will be
installed and maintained by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost
and expense.
ii. After 7:00 p.m. cleaning and janitorial services to the
Premises, provided the same are kept in order by Tenant, in
accordance with the cleaning standards set forth in EXHIBIT
CS attached hereto.
iii. Passenger elevator service from the existing passenger
elevator system in common with Landlord and other tenants
of the Building.
7.5 ELECTRICITY
a. Landlord shall supply electricity to the Premises to supply a
requirement not to exceed 4.5 xxxxx per square foot of usable area
for standard single-phase 120 volt alternating current and Tenant
agrees in its use of the Premises not to exceed such requirement
and that its total connected lighting load will not exceed the
maximum from time to time permitted under applicable governmental
regulations. In connection with Landlord's Work, Landlord shall
purchase and install, at Tenant's expense, which expense shall be
reasonable and shall be included in the Tenant Improvement
Allowance, all lamps, tubes, bulbs, starters and ballasts for all
original fluorescent tubes within the Premises. All other bulbs,
tubes and lighting fixtures for the Premises shall be provided (at
a reasonable cost) and installed by Landlord at Tenant's cost and
expense. In order to assure that the foregoing requirements are not
exceeded and to avert possible adverse affect on the Building's
electric system, Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior
consent, connect any fixtures, appliances or equipment to the
Building's electric distribution
20
system other than typewriters, pencil sharpeners, adding machines,
hand-held or desk-top calculators, dictaphones and a computer
network connected with personal computers.
b. Landlord shall install at Tenant's expense, which expense shall be
reasonable and included in the Tenant Improvement Allowance, a
separate meter which shall measure electric consumption (including
electricity consumed in connection with the operation of the
variable-air-volume (VAV) boxes used to heat and cool the Premises)
in the Premises. Tenant shall pay as additional rent all amounts
billed by the applicable utility company when due directly to the
utility company. If, for any reason, such utility charges are not
separately metered at any time during the Term, Tenant shall pay as
additional rent all reasonably allocated charges attributable to
the furnishing of electricity to the Premises, which charges shall
not exceed Landlord's actual costs therefor.
ARTICLE VIII
REAL ESTATE TAXES
8.1 PAYMENTS ON ACCOUNT OF REAL ESTATE TAXES
a. For the purposes of this Article, the term "Tax Year" shall mean
the twelve (12) month period commencing on the July 1 immediately
preceding the Commencement Date and each twelve (12) month period
thereafter during the Term of this Lease; and the term "Taxes"
shall mean real estate taxes assessed with respect to the Property
for any Tax Year. The term "Taxes" shall not include inheritance
taxes, gift taxes, transfer taxes, franchise taxes, excise taxes,
net income taxes, profit taxes, capital levies, late payment
charges and penalties (to the extent that Tenant has made all
payments of Taxes required hereunder in a timely fashion), or
special assessments levied against assets other than real estate
(provided that real estate betterments and assessments shall be
included in Taxes, so long as the same are paid in installments
over the longest period permitted by the assessing authority).
b. In the event that for any reason, Taxes shall be greater during any
Tax Year than Base Taxes, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as an
Escalation Charge, an amount equal to:
i. The excess of Taxes over Base Taxes, multiplied by,
21
ii. The Escalation Factor, such amount to be apportioned for
any fraction of a Tax Year in which the Commencement Date
falls or the Term of this Lease ends.
c. Estimated payments by Tenant on account of Taxes shall be made
monthly and at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the
payment of Basic Rent. The monthly amount so to be paid to Landlord
shall equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount required to be paid
(if any) by Tenant pursuant to Paragraph b. above for the preceding
Tax Year. Promptly after receipt by Landlord of bills for such
Taxes, Landlord shall advise Tenant of the amount thereof and the
computation of Tenant's payment on account thereof. If estimated
payments theretofore made by Tenant for the Tax Year covered by
such bills exceed the required payments on account thereof for such
Tax Year, Landlord shall credit the amount of overpayment against
subsequent obligations of Tenant on account of real estate taxes
(or refund such overpayment if the Term of this Lease has ended and
Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord); but if the required
payments on account thereof for such Tax Year are greater than
estimated payments theretofore made on account thereof for such Tax
Year, Tenant shall make payment to Landlord within thirty (30) days
after being so advised by Landlord. Landlord shall have the same
rights and remedies for the nonpayment by Tenant of any payments
due on account of such Taxes as Landlord has hereunder for the
failure of Tenant to pay Basic Rent.
8.2 ABATEMENT
If Landlord shall receive any tax refund or reimbursement of Taxes or
sum in lieu thereof with respect to any Tax Year, then out of any
balance remaining thereof after deducting Landlord's expenses reasonably
incurred in obtaining such refund, Landlord shall pay to Tenant an
amount equal to such refund or reimbursement or sum in lieu thereof
(exclusive of interest) multiplied by the Escalation Factor and adjusted
for any partial year; provided, that in no event shall Tenant be
entitled to receive more than the amount of any payments made by Tenant
on account of real estate Tax increases for such Tax Year pursuant to
Paragraph b. of Section 8.1 or to receive any payment if Taxes for any
Tax Year are less than Base Taxes.
22
8.3 ALTERNATE TAXES
a. If some method or type of taxation shall replace the current method
of assessment of real estate taxes, or the type thereof, the Tenant
agrees that Tenant shall pay an equitable share of the same
computed in a fashion consistent with the method of computation
herein provided, to the end that Tenant's share thereof shall be,
to the maximum extent practicable, comparable to that which Tenant
would bear under the foregoing provisions.
b. If a tax (other than a Federal or State net income tax) is assessed
on account of the rents or other charges payable by Tenant to
Landlord under this Lease, Tenant agrees to pay the same within
twenty (20) days after billing therefor, unless applicable law
prohibits the payment of such tax by Tenant. Landlord shall have
the same rights and remedies for nonpayment by Tenant of any such
amounts as Landlord has hereunder for the failure of Tenant to pay
Basic Rent.
ARTICLE IX
OPERATING EXPENSES
9.1 DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Article, the following terms shall have the
following respective meanings:
OPERATING YEAR: Each calendar year in which any part of the Term of this
Lease shall fall.
OPERATING EXPENSES: The aggregate costs or expenses reasonably incurred
by Landlord with respect to the operation, administration, cleaning,
repair, maintenance and management of the Property including, without
limitation, those items enumerated in EXHIBIT OC annexed hereto,
provided that, if during any portion of the Operating Year for which
Operating Expenses are being computed, less than 95% of the Building
Rentable Area was occupied by tenants, actual operating expenses
incurred shall be reasonably extrapolated by Landlord on an item basis
to the estimated operational expenses that would have been incurred if
the Building were 95% occupied for such Operating Year, and such
extrapolated amount shall, for the purposes hereof, be deemed to be the
Operating Expenses for such Operating Year. In no event shall Landlord
collect more than 100% of Operating Expenses (subject to Landlord's
right throughout the year to collect estimated payments, with the
measurement of Landlord's collections being made at the time of annual
reconciliation of payments of Operating Expenses hereunder).
23
9.2 TENANT'S PAYMENT
a. In the event that Operating Expenses for any Operating Year shall
be greater than Base Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, as an Escalation Charge, an amount equal to:
i. The excess of the Operating Expenses for such Operating
Year over and above Base Operating Expenses, multiplied by,
ii. The Escalation Factor, such amount to be apportioned for
any Operating Year in which the Commencement Date falls or
the Term of this Lease ends.
b. Reasonable estimated payments by Tenant on account of Operating
Expenses shall be paid by Tenant monthly and at the time and in the
fashion herein provided for the payment of Basic Rent. Landlord
shall use reasonable efforts to provide to Tenant thirty (30) days
prior to each Operating Year a reasonably detailed budget,
consistently applied from year to year, for anticipated Operating
Expenses, provided, however, that any delay or failure on the part
to Landlord to provide such budget shall not affect or excuse the
obligations of Tenant to make all payments required hereunder at
the times specified herein. The monthly amount so to be paid to
Landlord shall be sufficient to provide Landlord by the end of each
Operating Year a sum equal to Tenant's required payments (if any)
on account of Operating Expenses for the preceding Operating Year.
By no later than June 30 after the end of each Operating Year,
Landlord shall submit to Tenant a reasonably detailed accounting of
Operating Expenses, consistently applied from year to year, for
such Operating Year, and Landlord shall certify the accuracy
thereof. If estimated payments theretofore made for such Operating
Year by Tenant exceed Tenant's required payment on account thereof
for such Operating Year, according to such statement, Landlord
shall credit the amount of overpayment against subsequent
obligations of Tenant with respect to Operating Expenses (or refund
such overpayment if the Term of this Lease has ended and Tenant has
no further obligation to Landlord); but, if the required payments
on account thereof for such Operating Year are greater than the
estimated payments (if any) theretofore made on account thereof for
such Operating Year, Tenant shall make payment to Landlord within
thirty (30) days after being so advised by Landlord. Landlord shall
have the same rights and remedies for the nonpayment by Tenant of
any payments due on account of Operating Expenses as Landlord has
hereunder for the failure of Tenant to pay Basic Rent.
24
c. Tenant shall have the right, no more often than once in an
Operating Year, exercisable within one hundred twenty (120) days
following the delivery to Tenant of the accounting referred to in
Paragraph 9.2(b) and upon reasonable prior notice to Landlord to
inspect Landlord's books and records relating to Operating Expenses
and Taxes for the Operating Year covered by such accounting. Tenant
acknowledges and agrees that only employees of Tenant, or Tenant's
certified public accountant or accounting firm (provided that such
accountant or accounting firm is then responsible for Tenant's
general corporate accounting), or a real estate service provider
engaged generally by Tenant for real estate facilities management
purposes (but not a third party engaged in the business of review
of leasehold charges and payments) may conduct any such inspection,
which inspection shall occur at such place and time (during normal
business hours) as Landlord may reasonably designate. Tenant shall
pay for all reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in connection
with, and relating directly to, Tenant's inspection of Landlord's
books and records if such audit does not disclose an overpayment by
Tenant of five percent (5%) or more. Landlord shall reimburse
Tenant for its reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the
audit if the audit reveals overcharges of five percent (5%) or
more. In any event, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of
any overpayment.
ARTICLE X

10.1 TENANT'S INDEMNITY
To the maximum extent this Agreement may be made effective according to

injury or damage whatsoever caused to any person, or to the property of
any person, occurring after the date of this Lease until the end of the
Term of this Lease and thereafter, so long as Tenant is in occupancy of
any part of the Premises, in or about the Premises, or arising from any
accident, injury or damage occurring outside of the Premises but on the
Property, where such accident, damage or injury results or is claimed to
have resulted from an act or omission on the part of Tenant or Tenant's
agents or employees or independent contractors. This indemnity and hold
harmless agreement shall include indemnity against all reasonable costs,
expenses and liabilities incurred in or in connection with any such

law, and except to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant
or its agents, employees or independent contractors, Landlord agrees to
indemnify and save harmless Tenant from and against all claims, actions
or proceedings of whatever nature arising from the negligence or willful
misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's contractors, licensees, agents,
servants or employees occurring after the date of this Lease until the

agreement shall include indemnity against all costs, expenses and
liabilities incurred in or in connection with any such claim, action or

10.3 TENANT'S INSURANCE
Tenant agrees to maintain in full force from the date upon which Tenant
first enters the Premises for any reason, throughout the Term of this
Lease, and thereafter so long as Tenant is in occupancy of any part of
the Premises, a commercial general liability policy of insurance under
which Tenant is the named insured and under which Landlord and
Landlord's lenders, if any, are named as additional insured. Each such
policy shall be non-cancelable and non-amendable with respect to
Landlord and Landlord's said designees without thirty (30) days prior
notice to Landlord and shall be in at least the amounts of the
Commercial General Liability Insurance specified in Section 1.2, and a
duplicate original or certificate thereof shall be delivered to
Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall maintain worker's compensation
insurance in at least statutory limits covering all of Tenant's
employees working in the Premises.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, provided that
Xxxxxx Insurance Company is the Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall
have the right to self-insure any risks for which Tenant is required to
carry a policy of insurance pursuant to the provisions of this Lease,
provided that Tenant shall comply with the provisions of Schedule 10.2
attached hereto and made a part hereof. If at any time during the term
of this Lease, Tenant is not in compliance with the requirements of
Schedule 10.2, Tenant shall immediately supply Landlord with the policy
of insurance required under the first paragraph hereof.
10.4 TENANT'S RISK
To the maximum extent this Agreement may be made effective according to
law, Tenant agrees to use and occupy the Premises and to use such other
portions of the Buildings as Tenant is herein given the right to use at
Tenant's own risk; and Landlord shall have no responsibility or
liability for any loss of
26
or damage to Tenant's Removable Property, unless caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord's contractors,
licensees, agents, servants or employees. The provisions of this Section
shall be applicable from and after the execution of this Lease and until
the end of the Term of this Lease, and during such further period as
Tenant may use or be in occupancy of any part of the Premises or of the
Building.
10.5 INJURY CAUSED BY THIRD PARTIES
To the maximum extent this Agreement may be made effective according to
law, Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to
Tenant, or to those claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any loss
or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of
persons occupying adjoining premises or any part of the Premises
adjacent to or connecting with the Premises or any part of the Property
or otherwise, unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Landlord or Landlord's contractors, licensees, agents, servants or
employees.
10.6 LANDLORD'S INSURANCE
Landlord shall maintain at all times during the Term of this Lease
insurance against: (i) physical damage to the Building and the Tenant
Improvements (excluding Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment, and
other personal property), in an amount not less than the full
replacement cost of the property insured, and covering the risks
customarily covered under a "Causes of Loss-Special Form" (formerly
known as "all risk") policy (including flood and earthquake damage
coverage), subject to a commercially reasonable deductible, (ii)
commercial general liability insurance (including contractual liability
coverage for bodily injury and property damage) in an amount of not less
than $10,000,000 on a combined single limit basis, and (iii) worker's
compensation insurance in at least statutory limits. Landlord shall name
Tenant as an additional insured on its comprehensive general liability
insurance policy, and such policy shall be non-cancelable and
non-amendable with respect to Tenant's interest thereunder without
thirty (30) days prior notice to Tenant. Landlord shall deliver to
Tenant certificates as to the insurance required hereunder upon request
therefor.
ARTICLE XI
LANDLORD'S ACCESS TO PREMISES
11.1 LANDLORD'S RIGHTS
Landlord shall have the right upon reasonable prior written notice to
Tenant (except in the case of emergency where no notice shall be
required) to enter
27
the Premises at all reasonable hours for the purpose of inspecting or
making repairs to the same, and Landlord shall also have the right upon
reasonable prior written notice to Tenant to make access available at
all reasonable hours to prospective or existing mortgages, purchasers or
tenants of any part of the Property. Any access by Landlord shall not
unreasonably disturb or interfere with Tenant's conduct of business at
the Premises or quiet use and enjoyment of the Premises.
ARTICLE XII
FIRE, EMINENT DOMAIN, ETC.
12.1 ABATEMENT OF RENT
If the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty in the
Building, Basic Rent and Escalation Charges payable by Tenant shall
xxxxx proportionately for the period in which, by reason of such damage,
there is substantial interference with Tenant's use of the Premises,
having regard to the extent to which Tenant may be required to
discontinue Tenant's use of all or a portion of the Premises, but such
abatement or reduction shall end if and when Landlord shall have
substantially restored the Premises to the condition in which they were
immediately prior to such damage including Tenant Improvements and
alterations. If the Premises or the appurtenant rights and reservations
for which Tenant may have an entitlement per Section 2.2 of this Lease
shall be materially and adversely affected by any exercise of the power
of eminent domain, Basic Rent and Escalation Charges payable by Tenant
shall be justly and equitably abated and reduced according to the nature
and extent of the loss of use thereof suffered by Tenant.
12.2 RIGHT OF TERMINATION
If the Premises or the Property are substantially damaged by fire or
casualty (the term "substantially damaged" meaning damage of such a
character that the same cannot, in ordinary course, reasonably be
expected to be repaired within six (6) months from the time that repair
work would commence), or, if as a result of any exercise of the right of
eminent domain more than thirty percent (30%) of the Building or the
Property is taken or a material portion of the parking is taken or there
is a material impact on access to the Property or Tenant's use of the
Premises is materially impaired (collectively, a "Taking"), then either
party shall have the right to terminate this Lease (even if Landlord's
entire interest in the Premises may have been divested) by giving to the
other party notice of such party's election so to do within ninety (90)
days after the occurrence of such casualty or the effective date of such
Taking, whereupon this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days after the
date of such
28
notice with the same force and effect as if such date were the date
originally established as the expiration date hereof.
12.3 RESTORATION
If this Lease shall not be terminated pursuant to Section 12.2, Landlord
shall thereafter use due diligence to restore the Premises to its
condition prior to the casualty or Taking (to the extent feasible),
including tenant improvements, provided that Landlord's obligation shall
be limited to the amount of insurance proceeds available therefor. If,
for any reason (including, without limitation, insufficiency or
unavailability of insurance proceeds), such restoration shall not be
substantially completed within six (6) months from the time that repair
work would commence in the case of damage by fire or casualty or from
the effective date of the Taking, as applicable (which six (6) month
period may be extended for such periods of time as Landlord is prevented
from proceeding with completing such restoration for reasons of force
majeure, but in no event for more than an additional three (3) months),
Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving notice to
Landlord thereof within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such
period (as so extended). Upon the giving of such notice, this Lease
shall cease and come to an end without further liability or obligation
on the part of either party unless, within such thirty (30) day period,
Landlord substantially completes such restoration. Such right of
termination shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy at law or in
equity for Landlord's failure so to complete such restoration.
12.4 AWARD
Landlord shall have and hereby reserves and excepts, and Tenant hereby
grants and assigns to Landlord, all rights to recover for damage to the
Property and the leasehold interest hereby created, and to compensation
accrued or hereafter to accrue by reason of such taking, damage or
destruction, and by way of confirming the foregoing, Tenant hereby
grants and assigns, and covenants with Landlord to grant and assign to
Landlord, all rights to such damages or compensation. Nothing contained
herein shall be construed to prevent Tenant from prosecuting in any
condemnation proceedings a claim for the value of any of Tenant's
Removable Property installed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant's
expense and for relocation expenses. Landlord hereby agrees that it will
not prosecute in any condemnation proceeding a claim for the value of
Tenant's removable property installed in the Premises by Tenant at
Tenant's expense or for any relocation expenses incurred or to be
incurred by Tenant.
ARTICLE XIII
DEFAULT
29
13.1 TENANT'S DEFAULT
a. If at any time subsequent to the date of this Lease any one or more
of the following events (herein referred to as a "Default of
Tenant") shall happen:
i. Tenant shall fail to pay the Basic Rent, Escalation Charges
or other charges hereunder when due and such failure shall
continue for five (5) Business Days after notice to Tenant
from Landlord; or
ii. 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
iii. Tenant's leasehold interest in the Premises shall be taken
on execution or by other process of law directed against
Tenant not discharged within sixty (60) days after the
commencement thereof; or
iv. 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
v. 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
sixty (60) days (whether or not consecutive), or if
30
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 sixty (60) days (whether or not
consecutive);
vi. Or if Tenant dissolves or is dissolved or liquidated or
adopts any plan or commences any proceeding, the result of
which is intended to include dissolution or liquidation;
vii. Or if Tenant fails to supply the insurance required under
Section 10.2 within five (5) Business Days after notice to
Tenant from Landlord;
viii. Then in any such case:
(1) If such Default of Tenant shall occur prior to the
Commencement Date, this Lease shall IPSO FACTO, and
without further act on the part of Landlord,
terminate; and
(2) If such Default of Tenant shall occur after the
Commencement Date, Landlord may terminate this
Lease by notice to Tenant, specifying a date not
less than fifteen (15) days after the giving of
such 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 Term of this Lease (Tenant
hereby waiving any rights of redemption under
M.G.L. c. 186, or otherwise), 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, or if any execution or attachment shall be issued against
Tenant or any of Tenant's property whereupon the Premises shall be
taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant, then Landlord may
re-enter the Premises by 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.
c. In the event of any termination, Tenant shall pay the Basic Rent,
Escalation Charges and other sums payable hereunder up to the time
of
31
such termination, and thereafter Tenant, until the end of what
would have been the Term of this Lease in the absence of such
termination, and whether or not the Premises shall have been
re-let, shall be liable to Landlord for, and shall pay to Landlord,
as current damages, the Basic Rent, Escalation Charges and other
sums which would be payable hereunder if such termination had not
occurred, less the net proceeds, if any, of any re-letting of the
Premises, after deducting all reasonable expenses in connection
with such re-letting, including, without limitation, all
repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses,
attorneys' fees, advertising, expenses of employees, alteration
costs and expenses of preparation for such re-letting. Tenant shall
pay such current damages to Landlord monthly on the days which the
Basic Rent would have been payable hereunder if this Lease had not
been terminated.
d. At any time after such termination, whether or not Landlord shall
have collected any such current damages, Landlord may demand, as
liquidated final damages and in lieu of all such current damages
beyond the date of such demand, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord an
amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Basic Rent, Escalation
Charges and other sums as hereinbefore provided which would be
payable hereunder from the date of such demand (assuming that, for
the purposes of this paragraph, annual payments by Tenant on
account of Taxes and Operating Expenses would be the same as the
payments required for the immediately preceding Operating or Tax
Year) for what remained, over the Term of this Lease if the same
remained in effect, over the then fair net rental value of the
Premises for the same period.
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.
e. In case of any Default by Tenant, Landlord may re-enter the
Premises by summary proceedings, ejectment, or otherwise, and
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
32
that Landlord considers advisable and necessary to re-let
the same; and
ii. May make such reasonable alterations, repairs and
decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its reasonable
judgment considers advisable and necessary for the purpose
of re-letting 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 such re-letting, provided that Landlord
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the
Premises. 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.
f. Intentionally Omitted.
g. 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.
h. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of
Landlord (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
expenses) in enforcing its rights hereunder or occasioned by any
Default of Tenant shall be paid by Tenant.
13.2 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
provided Landlord commences curing such default within such 30 day
period and continues to diligently prosecute to completion the cure of
such default, after notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying wherein
Landlord has failed to perform any such obligations. In the event that
Tenant undertakes a cure of a default of Landlord hereunder following
such notice, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant
33
for its reasonable costs incurred in such cure within thirty (30) days
after delivery to Landlord of an itemized statement therefor, provided
that in no event shall Tenant have any right to abatement, set-off or
other excuse for nonperformance hereunder with respect thereto.
ARTICLE XIV
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS AND
TENANT'S ADDITIONAL CONVENTS
14.1 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 property or liability
insurance on the Premises or of the Building above the standard rate
applicable to premises occupied for Permitted Uses; and Tenant further
agrees that, in the event that Tenant shall do any of the foregoing,
Tenant will pay to Landlord, within twenty (20) days of Landlord's
written demand therefor, any such increase resulting therefrom, which
shall be due and payable as an additional charge hereunder.
14.2 WAIVER
a. 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 the other's 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 any
subsequent similar act by the other.
b. No payment by Tenant or Landlord, or acceptance by Landlord or
Tenant, of a lesser amount than shall be due from Tenant to
Landlord or Landlord to Tenant shall be treated otherwise than as a
payment on account. The acceptance by Landlord or Tenant of a check
for a lesser amount with an endorsement or statement thereon, or
upon any letter accompanying such a check, that such lesser amount
is payment in full, shall be given no effect, and Landlord or
Tenant may accept such check without prejudice to any other rights
or remedies which Landlord or Tenant may have against Tenant or
Landlord.
34
14.3 COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT
Tenant, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease, on payment of
the Basic Rent and Escalation Charges and other charges hereunder and
observing, keeping and performing all of the other 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 hereof, without hindrance or ejection by
Landlord or any persons lawfully claiming under Landlord to have title
to the Premises superior to Tenant; the foregoing covenant of quiet
enjoyment is in lieu of any other covenant, express or implied.
14.4 LANDLORD'S LIABILITY
a. No owner of the Property shall be liable under this Lease except
for breaches of Landlord's obligations occurring while owner of the
Property. The obligations of Landlord shall be binding upon the
assets of Landlord which comprise the Property but not upon other
assets of Landlord. No individual partner, trustee, stockholder,
officer, director, employee, member or beneficiary of Landlord
shall be personally liable under this Lease and Tenant shall look
solely to Landlord's interest in the Property in pursuit of its
remedies upon an event of default hereunder, and the general assets
of Landlord and of the individual partners, trustees, stockholders,
officers, employees, members or beneficiaries of Landlord shall not
be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for
the satisfaction of the remedies of Tenant.
b. With respect to any services or utilities to be furnished by
Landlord to Tenant, Landlord shall in no event be liable for
failure to furnish the same when prevented from doing so by strike,
lockout, breakdown, accident, order or regulation of or by any
governmental authority, or failure of supply, or inability by the
exercise of reasonable diligence to obtain supplies, parts or
employees necessary to furnish such services, or because of war or
other emergency, or for any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable
control, or for cause due to any act or neglect of Tenant or
Tenant's servants, agents, employees, licensees or any person
claiming by, through or under Tenant.
c. In no event shall Landlord ever be liable to Tenant for any
indirect or consequential damages suffered by Tenant from whatever
cause.
14.5 NOTICE TO MORTGAGEE
35
After receiving notice from Landlord and any person, firm or other
entity that it holds a mortgage which includes the Premises as part of
the mortgaged premises, no notice from Tenant to Landlord shall be
effective unless and until a copy of the same is given to such holder
(provided Tenant shall have been furnished with written notice of the
name and address of such holder), and the curing of any of Landlord's
defaults by such holder shall be treated as performance by Landlord.
14.6 ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND TRANSFER OF TITLES
a. 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 on property which includes the Premises, Tenant agrees
that the execution thereof by Landlord, and the acceptance thereof
by the holder of such mortgage shall never be treated as an
assumption by such holder of any of the obligations of Landlord
hereunder unless such holder shall, by written notice sent to
Tenant, specifically otherwise elect and that, except as aforesaid,
such holder 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.
b. In no event shall the acquisition of title to the Property by a
purchaser which, simultaneously therewith, leases the entire
Property back to the seller thereof be treated as an assumption 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. In any event, this Lease shall be
subject and subordinate to the lease between such purchaser-lessor
and seller-lessee (provided, however, that the purchaser-lessor
shall take title to the Property subject to this Lease); provided,
however, that such purchaser-lessor shall have executed and
delivered to Tenant a recognition agreement whereby such
purchaser-lessor agrees to recognize this Lease as a direct lease
between such purchaser-lessor and Tenant on the terms and
conditions of this Lease in the event of the termination of the
lease between the purchaser-lessor and the seller-lessee. 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.
c. Tenant hereby agrees that, except as provided in paragraph b. of
this Section, in the event of any transfer of title to the Property
by Landlord, Landlord shall thereafter be entirely freed and
relieved from the performance and observance of all covenants and
obligations hereunder.
36
d. Tenant hereby agrees not to look to the mortgagee, as mortgagee,
mortgagee in possession, or successor in title to the property, for
accountability for any security deposit required by the Landlord
hereunder, unless said sums have actually been received by said
mortgagee as security for the tenant's performance of this Lease.
e. Tenant shall not pay rent more than one month in advance.
14.7 RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant shall abide by the rules and regulations set forth on EXHIBIT D
hereto and any other reasonable rules and regulations established by
Landlord from time to time, it being agreed that such rules and
regulations will be established and applied by Landlord in a
non-discriminatory fashion, such that all rules and regulations shall be
generally applicable to other tenants of the Building. Landlord agrees
to use reasonable efforts to insure that any such rules and regulations
are uniformly enforced, but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for
violation of the same by any other tenant or occupant of the Building,
or persons having business with them. In the event of any conflict
between this Lease and such rules and regulations, the terms of this
Lease shall prevail.
14.8 ADDITIONAL CHARGES
If Tenant shall fail to pay when due any sums under this Lease
designated as an additional charge, Landlord shall have the same rights
and remedies as Landlord has hereunder for failure to pay Basic Rent.
14.9 INVALIDITY OF PARTICULAR PROVISIONS
If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to
any person or circumstance shall, to the 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.
14.10 PROVISIONS BINDING, ETC.
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 both parties to this Lease shall be
37
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 assignment by Tenant, but has reference only to those
instances in which Landlord may later give consent to a particular
assignment as required by those provisions of Article VI hereof.
14.11 RECORDING
Landlord and Tenant agree not to record this Lease, but each party
hereto agrees, contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, to
execute a so-called Notice of Lease in the form of EXHIBIT NOL attached
hereto and incorporated herein. In no event shall such document set
forth the rent or other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease; and
any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to
the provisions contained in this Lease, and is not intended to vary the
terms and conditions of this Lease. Upon termination of this Lease,
Tenant and Landlord shall execute an instrument in recordable form
acknowledging the date of termination.

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 this Lease expressly
supersedes any proposals or other written documents relating hereto.
This Lease may be modified or altered only by written agreement executed
by Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent
of either party shall alter, change or modify any of the provisions
hereof.
14.14 PARAGRAPH HEADINGS
The paragraph headings throughout this instrument 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.
14.15 RIGHTS OF MORTGAGEE
This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage from time to
time encumbering the Property, whether executed and delivered prior to
or subsequent to the date of this Lease, provided that Tenant shall have
received a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and
attornment agreement in recordable form executed by the holder of any
such mortgage ("SNDA"). In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant
shall execute, in addition to the SNDA, such instruments in confirmation
of the foregoing agreement as such holder may reasonably request. In the
event that any mortgagee or its respective successor in title shall
succeed to the interest of Landlord, then this Lease shall 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. Landlord represents that as of the date of
execution of this Lease there is no mortgage encumbering the Building or
the Property.
39
14.16 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE
Landlord and Tenant agree from time to time, within twenty (20) days of
the receipt of a written request by the other party, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the requesting party a statement in writing
certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect
and, if Tenant is the requesting party, that there are no uncured
defaults of Tenant under this Lease, and if Landlord is the requesting
party, that Tenant has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its
obligations to pay the Base Rent, Escalation Charges and other charges
hereunder and to perform its other covenants under this Lease and that
there are no uncured defaults of the Landlord or Tenant under this Lease
(or, if there have been any modifications that the same is in full force
and effect as modified and stating the modifications and, if there are
any defenses, offsets, counterclaims, or defaults, setting them forth in
reasonable detail), and the dates to which the Base Rent, Escalation
Charges and other charges hereunder have been paid. Any such statement
delivered pursuant to this Section 14.16 may be relied upon by a
prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Premises or any prospective
assignee of any mortgagee of the Premises or any prospective assignee of
Tenant's interest in the Premises, as the case may be. Failure of a
party to respond to such request within such twenty (20) day period
shall be a Default under this Lease.
14.17 SECURITY DEPOSIT
Intentionally omitted.
14.18 REMEDYING DEFAULTS; LATE PAYMENTS
If Tenant shall at any time default beyond applicable notice and cure
periods in the performance of any obligation under this Lease, Landlord
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon the Premises
and to perform such obligation notwithstanding the fact that no specific
provision for such substituted performance is made in the Lease with
respect to such default. In performing such obligation, Landlord may
make any payment of money or perform any other act. In the event of the
exercise of such right by Landlord, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord
forthwith within thirty (30) days after written notice accompanied, if
applicable, by an itemized written statement with copies of invoices,
all such sums, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to 3% over
the prime rate in effect from time to time, as published in the Wall
Street Journal (but in no event less than 18% per annum or more than the
maximum rate allowed by law), as an additional charge. Any payment of
Basic Rent, Escalation Charges or other charges payable hereunder not
paid when due shall bear interest at a rate equal to 3% over the prime
rate in effect from time to time, as published in the Wall Street
Journal (but in no event less
40
than 18% per annum or more than the maximum rate allowed by law) from
the due date thereof, as an additional charge.
14.19 HOLDING OVER
Any holding over by Tenant after the expiration of the term of this
Lease shall be treated as a daily tenancy at sufferance at a rate equal
to 1 1/2 times the Basic Rent plus Escalation Charges and other charges
herein provided (prorated on a daily basis) and shall otherwise be on
the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease as far as applicable.
Landlord shall make no claim against Tenant for consequential damages
occasioned by any holdover of Tenant during the first thirty (30) days
thereof.
14.20 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION
Insofar as, and to the extent that, the following provision may be
effective without invalidating or making it impossible to secure
insurance coverage obtainable from responsible insurance companies doing
business in the locality in which the Property is located (even though
extra premium may result therefrom) Landlord and Tenant mutually agree
that, with respect to any hazard, the loss from which is covered by
insurance then being carried by them, respectively, the one carrying
such insurance and suffering such loss releases the other of and from
any and all claims with respect to such loss to the extent of the
insurance proceeds paid with respect thereto; and they further mutually
agree that their respective insurance companies shall have no right of
subrogation against the other on account thereof.
14.21 SURRENDER OF PREMISES
Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term of this Lease,
Tenant shall peaceably quit and surrender to Landlord the Premises in
neat and clean condition and in good order, condition and repair,
together with all alterations, additions and improvements which may have
been made or installed in, on or to the Premises prior to or during the
Term of this Lease, excepting only ordinary wear and use and damage by
fire or other casualty for which, under other provisions of this Lease,
Tenant has no responsibility of repair or restoration. Tenant shall
remove all of Tenant's Removable Property and (i) to the extent
specified by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 5.2, all Improvements made
by Tenant and (ii) with respect to improvements made by Tenant not
requiring Landlord's consent; and Tenant shall repair any damages to the
Premises or the Building caused by such removal. Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall have no obligation
to remove Building Standard Office Improvements from the Premises. Any
of Tenant's Removable Property which shall remain in the Building or on
the Premises
41
after the expiration or termination of the Term of this Lease shall be
deemed conclusively to have been abandoned, and either may be retained
by Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as
Landlord may see fit, at Tenant's sole cost and expense.
14.22 BROKERAGE
Landlord and Tenant each warrant and represent to the other that they
have dealt with no broker except Xxxxxxx & Wakefield and Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxxxx & Partners ("Brokers") in connection with the consummation of this
Lease. Each party hereto agrees that if any person or entity, other than
the Brokers makes a claim for brokerage commissions, and such claim is
made by, through or on account of any acts or alleged acts of said party
or its representatives, said party will protect, indemnify, defend and
hold the other party free and harmless from and against any and all
loss, liability, cost, damage and expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) in connection therewith. Landlord shall be responsible
for all sums due to the Brokers in connection with this Lease.
14.23 SUBSTITUTE SPACE
Intentionally omitted.
14.24 ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
a. Tenant shall not cause any hazardous or toxic wastes, hazardous or
toxic substances or hazardous or toxic materials (collectively,
"Hazardous Materials") to be used, generated, stored or disposed of
on, under or about, or transported to or from, the Premises
(collectively, "Hazardous Materials Activities") without first
receiving Landlord's written consent, which may be withheld for any
reason and revoked at any time. If Landlord consents to any such
Hazardous Materials Activities, Tenant shall conduct them in strict
compliance (at Tenant's expense) with all applicable Regulations,
as hereinafter defined, and using all necessary and appropriate
precautions. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any
Hazardous Materials Activities by Tenant, Tenant's employees,
agents, contractors, licensees or invitees, whether or not
consented to by Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify, defend with
counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord and hold Landlord
harmless from and against any claims, damages, costs and
liabilities, arising out of Tenant's Hazardous Materials
Activities. For purposes hereof, Hazardous Materials shall include
but not be limited to substances defined as "hazardous substances,"
"toxic substances," or "hazardous wastes" in the federal
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended; the federal
42
Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended; and the federal
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended ("RCRA"); those
substances defined as "hazardous wastes" in the
Massachusetts
Hazardous Waste Facility Siting Act, as amended (
Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter 21D); those substances defined as "hazardous
materials" or "oil" in
Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 21E, as
amended; and as such substances are defined in any regulations
adopted and publications promulgated pursuant to said laws
(collectively, "Regulations"). Prior to using, storing or
maintaining any Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises,
Tenant shall provide Landlord with a list of the types and
quantities thereof, and shall update such list as necessary for
continued accuracy. Tenant shall also provide Landlord with a copy
of any Hazardous Materials inventory statement required by any
applicable Regulations, and any update filed in accordance with any
applicable Regulations. If Tenant's activities violate or create a
risk of violation of any Regulations, Tenant shall cease such
activities immediately upon notice from Landlord. Tenant shall
immediately notify Landlord both by telephone and in writing of any
spill or unauthorized discharge of Hazardous Materials or of any
condition constituting an imminent hazard under any Regulations.
Landlord, Landlord's representatives and employees may, upon
reasonable prior written notice (except in the case of emergency
where no notice shall be required) enter the Premises at any time
during the Term to inspect Tenant's compliance herewith, and may
disclose any violation of any Regulations to any governmental
agency with jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall prohibit Tenant form
using minimal quantities of cleaning fluid and office supplies
which may constitute Hazardous Materials but which are customarily
present in premises devoted to office use, provided that such use
is in compliance with all applicable laws and subject to all of the
other provisions of this SECTION 14.24.
b. Landlord hereby warrants, represents and agrees that there will be
no Hazardous Materials present on or in the Property or any part
thereof (including, without limitation, the groundwater) as of the
date upon which the Premises are ready for occupancy by Tenant.
Landlord further agrees that Landlord will not permit or
voluntarily suffer the use, generation, storage or disposal of any
Hazardous Material on the Property during the Term of this Lease,
except for cleaning products and office supplies which are
customarily present within first-class office buildings similar to
the Building. In the event that the Property or any part or area
thereof becomes contaminated with any Hazardous Material during or
before the Term of this Lease Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant
and, at Landlord's sole cost, remediate, to the
43
full extent required by law, such contamination. In the event that
the Property or any part or area thereof becomes contaminated with
any Hazardous Material during or before the Term of this Lease, to
the extent that such contamination arose from the acts or omissions
of Landlord or its employees, agents, contractors, licensees or
invitees, Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless
from any claim, loss or liability arising from or in connection
with such contamination including, without limitation, costs of
analysis, removal, remediation and restoration. In the event that
the presence of Hazardous Materials did not arise from the acts of
Tenant or its employees, agents, contractors, licensees or invitees
and the presence of Hazardous Materials is determined by a
qualified professional in the field of environmental study as
posing a threat to the health of any employee, agent or invitee of
Tenant, and Tenant ceases to use the Premises or any part thereof
due to the presence of Hazardous Materials, Tenant shall be
entitled to an abatement in Rent and Escalation Charges due under
this Lease with respect to the period during which Tenant ceased to
use the Premises or some part thereof. In the case of a cessation
of use of only a part of the Premises, such abatement shall be
apportioned on the basis of the area of the portion of the Premises
as to which use has ceased.

Any and all rights and remedies which either party may have under this
Lease, and at law and equity, shall be cumulative and shall not be
deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such
rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as
permitted by law.
14.29 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the
other, on or in respect to any matter whatsoever arising out of or in
any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and
Tenant hereunder, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, and/or
claim of injury or damages.
14.30 ROOF RIGHTS.
Subject to such reasonable restrictions as Landlord may require and
subject to the execution by Tenant of a commercially reasonable license
agreement, but without rent or other charge, Landlord shall not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to a request by
Tenant to maintain on the roof of the Building one (1) satellite dish
and to connect the same to the Premises by appropriate wiring, provided
that Landlord shall be entitled to impose such restrictions on the size
and location of such satellite dish as Landlord may determine in its
reasonable discretion, and further provided that such satellite dish
shall provide service to Tenant only and to no other party. Tenant shall
be solely responsible for compliance with all applicable laws,
ordinances and regulations with respect to the installation and
maintenance of the satellite dish.
14.31 STORAGE SPACE.
Subject to availability, Tenant shall have the opportunity to lease from
Landlord during the Term of this Lease a maximum of 1500 square feet of

Landlord warrants to Tenant that all necessary Building equipment,
software and appliances, including but not limited to elevators,

detection and life safety systems and other Building systems will remain
fully functional and perform their normal operations on and after the
Commencement Date, as well as on and after January 1, 2000, without
interruptions or malfunctions as a result of the passage from the year
1999 to the year 2000. If Landlord has actual knowledge that any
repairs, alterations or replacements must be made to any of the
aforesaid equipment, software or appliances in order to prevent or
eliminate any such interruptions or malfunctions in the services or
operations provided thereby, Landlord will cause any such repairs,
alterations or replacements to be promptly and timely made and the cost
of any such repairs, alterations or replacements will be paid by
Landlord.
OPTION TO EXTEND; RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
14.34 TENANT'S OPTION TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THIS LEASE
Provided that at the time of the exercise of this option and at the
beginning of the extension period (i) Tenant is not in default under this Lease
beyond applicable notice and cure periods, and (ii) this Lease has otherwise not
been terminated, then Tenant shall have a one time option to extend the Term for
one (1) period of five (5) years commencing at the expiration of the Term (the
"Extension Option"). If Tenant chooses to exercise such option Tenant shall do
so by written notice to Landlord ("Tenant's Extension Notice") given no earlier
than eighteen (18) and no later than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration
of the Term of this Lease. Failure of Tenant to exercise such option in a timely
manner shall terminate Tenant's right to lease and occupy the Premises beyond
the Term, and shall terminate all further rights under the Extension Option set
forth in this Section 15.1. The terms and conditions of this Lease during any
such extension shall be the same as contained in this Lease except that Landlord
shall have no obligation to make, or to provide any allowance for, tenant
improvements as may be described in this Lease, and the Basic Rent shall be
adjusted to be the greater of (i) ninety-five percent (95%) of the then Fair
Market Rent (defined below) or (ii) the Basic Rent charged during the year
immediately preceding the extension period, and Tenant shall have no additional
options to extend the Term except as described herein. At the time of adjustment
of the Basic Rent hereunder, Base Operating Expenses hereunder shall be adjusted
to a base year of calendar year 2009, and Bases Taxes shall be adjusted to a
base year of the fiscal year ending June 30,2009.
No later than fifteen (15) days after the date Landlord receives
Tenant's Extension Notice (the "Landlord's Response Date"), Landlord shall
propose a fair market rent for the Premises (the "Landlord's Proposed Fair
Market Rent") and give
46
written notice thereof to Tenant. "Fair Market Rent" for purposes of this Lease
shall mean the rental income that the Premises would most probably command on
the open market as indicated by current rentals being paid for comparable space
within the geographic area (including the Building) in which the Building is
located (as of the time such rental will become effective), giving due
consideration to all matters as are customarily and appropriately considered by
landlords and tenants engaged in leasing similar space in the geographic area in
which the Building is located as of the time of such determination and the terms
of this Lease.
Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days of the
date of Landlord's notice containing Landlord's Proposed Fair Market Rent as to
whether Tenant is accepting or rejecting Landlord's Proposed Fair Market Rent
("Tenant's Notice"). If Tenant fails to provide Tenant's Notice to Landlord
within such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted
Landlord's Proposed Fair Market Rent, which shall be the Fair Market Rent for
the purposes of the first paragraph of this Section. If Tenant rejects
Landlord's Proposed Fair Market Rent (a "Tenant's Objection Notice"), Tenant
shall propose a fair market rent for the Premises in such notice (the "Tenant's
Proposed Fair Market Rent"). Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to reach
agreement with respect to the Fair Market Rent within fifteen (15) days of the
date of Tenant's Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree within
such fifteen (15) day period, the Fair Market Rent shall be determined by the
appraisal procedure described below.
Unless Landlord and Tenant have agreed in writing to the Fair Market
Rent within fifteen (15) days after Tenant's Objection Notice, Landlord and
Tenant, within twenty-five (25) days after Tenant's Objection Notice, shall
jointly appoint a single MAI appraiser with experience in commercial real estate
including at least ten (10) years of experience in appraising office space in
the metropolitan office rental market in which the Building is located and who
is hereinafter referred to as an "appraiser." Within five (5) days after the
appointment of such appraiser Landlord and Tenant shall each provide a written
summary of their respective determinations of the Landlord's and Tenant's
Proposed Fair Market Rent, together with any supporting information which it
deems relevant to such determination to the appraiser promptly upon his/her
appointment. Within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the appraiser, the
appraiser shall notify both Landlord and Tenant of its determination of the Fair
Market Rent. If the appraiser's determination of the Fair Market Rent is equal
to the Landlord's or Tenant's Proposed Fair Market Rent or within the range
between the Landlord's and Tenant's Proposed Fair Market Rent, then the
appraiser's determination of the Fair Market Rent will be the Fair Market Rent.
If the appraiser's determination of the Fair Market Rent exceeds both the
Landlord's and Tenant's Proposed Fair Market Rent, then the higher of either the
Landlord's or Tenant's Proposed Fair Market Rent shall be the Fair Market Rent.
If the appraiser's determination of the Fair Market Rent is lower than both the
Landlord's and Tenant's
47
Proposed Fair Market Rent, then the lower of either the Landlord's or Tenant's
Proposed Fair Market Rent shall be the Fair Market Rent.
If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree on the identity of the appraiser,
then either party on behalf of both may apply to the President of the New
England Chapter of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers (or its
successor), or on its failure or inability to appoint an appraiser within ten
(10) days of the application to that person to act, to a court of competent
jurisdiction, for the appointment of an appraiser to serve as the appraiser. The
appraiser shall within thirty (30) days of his or her appointment make his or
her determination of the Fair Market Rent.
The Fair Market Rent of the Premises, determined in accordance with the
provisions of this section, shall be binding and conclusive on Tenant and
Landlord.
The cost and expense of the appraiser shall be shared equally by Tenant
and Landlord. If, for any reason, the decision of the appraiser pursuant to this
Section shall not be determined before the commencement of the extension period,
then Tenant shall pay Base Rent in monthly installments at the greater of (i)
the rate in effect immediately prior to the commencement of such extension
period or (ii) the average of the Landlord's Proposed Fair Market Rent and the
Tenant's Proposed Fair Market Rent until such decision of the appraiser shall be
made, and upon the decision by the appraiser an appropriate adjustment shall be
made, retroactive to the first day of such extension.
In no event shall the date by which Tenant must exercise the Extension
Option be extended for purposes of this Section. Time is of the essence with
respect to this Extension Option.
14.35 TENANT'S RIGHT OF EARLY EXPIRATION
Subject to the conditions specified in this section and provided that
Tenant shall not be in default under this Lease beyond applicable notice and
cure periods as of the date of Tenant's expiration notice or as of the
expiration date described below, Tenant shall have the right to elect to cause
the Term of this Lease to expire effective as of the last day of the seventh
(7th) Lease Year, as if this date was the expiration date of the Term of this
Lease as otherwise provided for herein, by giving at least twelve (12) calendar
months prior written notice to Landlord specifying Tenant's desire to so
accelerate the expiration date of this Lease (the "Termination Notice"). Tenant
shall pay to Landlord a termination fee (the "Termination Fee") equal to the sum
of (i) the value of all unamortized transaction costs (as reasonably determined
by Landlord, the "Transaction Costs") and (ii) three (3) months Basic Rent. The
payment of Basic Rent shall be made simultaneously with the giving of the
Termination Notice and the payment of the Transaction Costs shall be made within
thirty (30) days after written demand by Landlord, which demand shall be
48
accompanied by an itemized statement of such Transaction Costs. Payment of the
Termination Fee as aforesaid shall be a condition to the effectiveness of the
Termination Notice. Time shall be of the essence with respect to this Section
15.2.
14.36 RIGHTS OF FIRST OFFER.
14.36.1 Landlord is in the process of marketing for lease the third
floor of the Building which is the subject of this Section 14.36.1 (the "Third
Floor Offer Space"). The provisions of this Section shall not apply to the
initial leasing of the Third Floor Offer Space after the date hereof or to any
rights of extension contained in such initial lease(s), nor shall this Section
14.36.1 apply to any other portion of the Building.
Provided that there is at least one year remaining in the Term of this
Lease, that Tenant is not in default in the performance or observance of any of
the terms and provisions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or
observed beyond applicable grace and cure periods, and provided that the initial
tenant occupying the Third Floor Offer Space under a lease between Landlord and
DM Management Company has not exercised its prior rights of first offer as to
the Third Floor Offer Space (as to which the rights of Tenant under this Section
14.36.1 shall be expressly subordinate), if Landlord intends to market for lease
all or any portion of the Third Floor Offer Space and such space is at the time
subject to Tenant's rights under this Section, then Landlord will present a term
sheet (the "Third Floor Offer") for the leasing of such space to Tenant at fair
market rent, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and on such other reasonable
and customary terms and conditions for comparable first class office buildings
in the Boston,
Massachusetts geographic area as Landlord may determine. Except
as otherwise set forth in the Third Floor Offer, the Third Floor Offer to lease
such space shall be on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Upon its receipt of the Third Floor Offer, Tenant shall have ten (10)
business days to accept or reject the Third Floor Offer. If Tenant accepts the
Third Floor Offer within said ten (10) business day period, Landlord and Tenant
shall execute an amendment to this Lease which incorporates the Third Floor
Offer Space on the terms set forth therein within thirty (30) days of Tenant's
acceptance of said Third Floor Offer. In the event that Tenant does not accept
said Third Floor Offer within said ten (10) business day period or Landlord and
Tenant do not execute a lease on the terms therein set forth within said thirty
(30) day period, then Landlord shall have the right to lease to any other party
said Third Floor Offer Space on such terms and conditions not materially more
favorable than those contained in the Third Floor Offer. As used herein,
"materially more favorable" shall include a rental rate less than ninety percent
(90%) of that contained in the Third Floor Offer.
49
14.36.2 Landlord has leased the fourth floor of the Building to DM
Management Company. This Section 14.36.2 shall apply to any portion of the
fourth floor which may become available after the expiration or termination of
the DM Management Company lease (the "Fourth Floor Offer Space"). The provisions
of this Section shall not apply to any rights of extension in the DM Management
Company lease, nor to any renewal thereof, nor shall this Section 14.36.2 apply
to any other portion of the Building.
Provided that Tenant has not previously rejected a Fourth Floor Offer from
Landlord, that there is at least one year remaining in the Term of this Lease
and that Tenant is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the
terms and provisions of this Lease on the part of Tenant to be performed or
observed beyond applicable grace and cure periods, if Landlord intends to market
for lease all or any portion of the Fourth Floor Offer Space and such space is
at the time subject to Tenant's rights under this Section, then Landlord will
present a term sheet (the "Fourth Floor Offer") for the leasing of such space to
Tenant at fair market rent, as reasonably determined by Landlord, and on such
other reasonable and customary terms and conditions for comparable first class
office buildings in the Boston,
Massachusetts geographic area as Landlord, and
on such other reasonable and customary terms and conditions for comparable first
class office building in the Boston,
Massachusetts geographic area as Landlord
may determine. Except as otherwise set forth in the Fourth Floor Offer, the
Fourth Floor Offer to lease such space shall be on the terms and conditions set

CONSENT TO SUBLEASE
THIS CONSENT TO SUBLEASE ("Consent Agreement") dated as of August 28,
2003 is made with reference to that certain sublease (the "Sublease") dated
August 28, 2003 by and between Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company ("Tenant") and
The J. Xxxx Group, Inc. ("Subtenant"), and is entered into between the foregoing
parties and National Fire Protection Association ("Landlord"), having an address
at Xxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, XX with reference to the following facts:
A. Landlord and Tenant are the parties to that certain Lease (the
"Master Lease") dated as of April 27, 1999 respecting certain premises
("Premises") known as 29,305 square feet located on a portion of the third
floor, located in the building ("Building") known as Four Batterymarch Park
located in Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA.
B. Tenant and Subtenant wish to enter into the Sublease respecting the
Premises described therein (the "Sublease Premises").
C. The Master Lease provides that Tenant may not enter into any
sublease without Landlord's prior written approval.
D. Tenant and Subtenant have herewith presented the fully-executed
Sublease to Landlord for Landlord's approval, and Landlord is willing to approve
the same, upon all of the terms and conditions hereinafter appearing.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. Neither the Master Lease, the Sublease nor this Consent shall be
deemed to grant Subtenant any rights whatsoever against Landlord. Subtenant
hereby acknowledges and agrees that its sole remedy for any alleged or actual
breach of its rights in connection with the Sublease Premises (as defined in the
Sublease) shall be solely against Tenant.
2. This Consent shall not release Tenant from any existing or future
duty, obligation or liability to Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease, nor
shall this Consent change, modify or amend the Master Lease in any manner,
except as expressly stated herein. This consent shall not be deemed Landlord's
consent to any further subleases.
3.
(a) In the event of Master Lease Termination (as hereinafter defined)
prior to the termination of the Sublease, at Landlord's option, Subtenant agrees
to attorn to Landlord and to recognize Landlord as Subtenant's landlord under
the Sublease, under the terms and conditions and at the rental rate specified in
the Sublease, and for the then remaining term of the Sublease, except that
Landlord shall not be bound by any provision of the Sublease which in any way
increases Landlord's duties, obligations or liabilities to Subtenant beyond
those owed to Tenant under the Master Lease. Subtenant agrees to execute and
deliver at any time and from time to time, upon request of Landlord, any
instruments which may be necessary or appropriate to
1
evidence such attornment. Landlord shall not: (i) be liable to Subtenant for any
act, omission or breach of the Sublease by Tenant, (ii) be subject to any
offsets or defenses which Subtenant might have against Tenant, (iii) be bound by
any rent or additional rent which Subtenant might have paid in advance to
Tenant, or (iv) be bound to honor any rights of Subtenant in any security
deposit made with Tenant except to the extent Tenant has turned over such
security deposit to Landlord. Tenant hereby agrees that in the event of Master
Lease Termination, Tenant shall immediately pay or transfer to Landlord any
security deposit then held by Tenant not applied by Tenant or due to Tenant
under the Sublease arising from Subtenant's default and/or failure to comply
with or fully and timely perform Subtenant's obligations under the Sublease.
Landlord shall have the right, in Landlord's sole discretion, to elect not to
have Subtenant attorn to Landlord and, in this event, the Sublease shall be
deemed terminated on the date of Master Lease Termination and, Landlord shall
have no obligation to permit Subtenant to continue to occupy the Premises. In
the event that the Landlord elects not to have Subtenant attorn to Landlord,
then Subtenant shall have the option to lease the Sublease Premises at the then
fair market rate for the Sublease Premises (which, absent agreement between
Landlord and Subtenant, shall be determined pursuant to the procedure set forth
in section 14.34 of the Lease) for a term equal to the greater of the remainder
of the term of the Sublease or the remainder of the term of that certain lease
agreement dated September, 1998 between Landlord and Subtenant.
(b) "Master Lease Termination" means any event, which by voluntary or
involuntary act or by operation of law, might cause or permit the Master Lease
to be terminated, expired, cancelled, foreclosed against, or otherwise come to
an end, including but not limited to (1) a default by Tenant under the Master
Lease of any of the terms or provisions thereof; (2) foreclosure proceedings
brought by the holder of any mortgage or trust deed to which the Master Lease is
subject; or (3) the termination of Tenant's leasehold estate by dispossession
proceeding or otherwise.
(c) In the event of attornment hereunder, Landlord's liability shall be
limited to matters arising during Landlord's ownership of the Building, and in
the event that Landlord (or any successor owner) shall convey or dispose of the
Building to another party, such party shall thereupon be and become landlord
hereunder and shall be deemed to have fully assumed and be liable for all
obligations of this Consent or the Sublease to be performed by Landlord which
first arise after the date of conveyance, including the return of any security
deposit, and Tenant shall attorn to such other party, and Landlord (or such
successor owner) shall, from and after the date of conveyance, be free of all
liabilities and obligations hereunder not then incurred. The liability of
Landlord to Subtenant for any default by landlord under this Consent or the
Sublease after such attornment, or arising in connection with Landlord's
operation, management, leasing, repair, renovation, alteration, or any other
matter relating to the Building or the Sublease Premises, shall be limited to
the interest of the Landlord in the Building (and proceeds thereof). Under no
circumstances shall any present or future general partner of Landlord (if
Landlord is a partnership) have any liability for the performance of Landlord's
obligations under this Consent or the Sublease.
4. In addition to Landlord's rights under Section 3 hereof, in the
event Tenant is in default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods under
any of the terms and provisions of the Master Lease, Landlord may elect to
receive directly from Subtenant all sums due or payable to Tenant by Subtenant
pursuant to the Sublease, and upon receipt of Landlord's notice,
2
Subtenant shall thereafter pay to Landlord any and all sums becoming due or
payable under the Sublease and Tenant shall receive from Landlord a
corresponding credit for such sums against any payments then due or thereafter
become due from Tenant. Tenant agrees that any such sums paid by Subtenant shall
be deemed applied against any sums owed by Subtenant under the Sublease. Except
in the event of a Master Lease Termination and attornment to Landlord in
accordance with Section 3 above, neither the service of such written notice nor
the receipt of such direct payments shall cause Landlord to assume any of
Tenant's duties, obligations and/or liabilities under the Sublease, nor shall
such event impose upon Landlord the duty or obligation to honor the Sublease,
nor subsequently to accept Subtenant's attornment pursuant to Section 3(a)
hereof.
5. Subtenant hereby acknowledges that it has read and has knowledge of
all of the terms, provisions, rules and regulations of the Master Lease and
agrees not to do or omit to do anything which would cause Tenant to be in breach
of the Master Lease. Any such act or omission shall also constitute a breach of
this Consent Agreement and shall entitle Landlord to recover any damage, loss,
cost or expense which it thereby suffers, from Subtenant, whether or not
Landlord proceeds against Tenant.
6. In the event of any litigation between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof, the unsuccessful party agrees to pay the
successful party all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney's fees incurred
therein by the successful party, which shall be included as a part of the
judgment therein rendered.
7. This Consent Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties' respective successors and assigns, subject to all
agreements and restrictions contained in the Master Lease, the Sublease and
herein with respect to subleasing, assignment, or other transfer. The agreements
contained herein constitute the entire understanding between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior agreements,
written or oral, inconsistent herewith. No amendment, modification or change
therein will be effective unless Landlord shall have given its prior written
consent thereto. This Consent Agreement may be amended only in writing, signed
by all parties hereto.
8. Notices required or desired to be given hereunder shall be given by
either receipted overnight courier or United States mail, by certified mail,
return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Landlord at the
address set forth above, to Tenant at the address set forth in EXHIBIT "A"
attached hereto and made a part hereof and to Subtenant at the address of the
the Sublease Premises, respectively, and shall be deemed given upon receipt or
refusal thereof. Any party may change its address for notice by giving notice in
the manner hereinabove provided.
As a condition to the effectiveness of Landlord's consent to the
Sublease, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord concurrently with Tenant's delivery of
an executed counterpart hereof, Two Hundred-Fifty Dollars ($250.00) in
reimbursement of Landlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and administrative
expenses incurred in connection with this Consent Agreement, as additional rent.
9. Tenant shall also promptly pay to Landlord any share of bonus rents,
or other items required under the Master Lease in connection with subleases.
3
10. Tenant and Subtenant agree to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless
from and against any loss, cost, expense, damage or liability, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred as a result of a claim by any person or
entity (i) that it is entitled to a commission, finder's fee or like payment in
connection with the Sublease or (ii) relating to or arising out of the Sublease
or any related agreements or dealings.
11. Tenant agrees to hold any and all payments due under the Sublease
as a trust fund to be applied first to the satisfaction of all of Tenant's
obligations under the Master Lease and hereunder before using any part thereof
for any other purpose.

Sublease as of the date first above written.
