1.2 Project. Exhibit "A" is the general site plan of the Land, the
Building and the other improvements and areas that currently exist as part of
the Project. The parties acknowledge and agree that this site plan is general in
nature and thus may differ somewhat from the actual Building and Project as
constructed. Landlord will have the right to construct new leasable area in the
Project or additional parking that may or may not be for Tenant's use, and
Landlord reserves the right to otherwise modify the Project provided that such
modification will not cause the Project to violate applicable Laws nor will it
reduce the parking spaces allocated to Tenant under this Lease.
1.3 Wiring. To the extent that it does not damage Landlord's Work
and/or existing Systems and Equipment or the rest of the Building, Tenant, at
its cost, may install wiring for its computers and equipment above hung ceilings
and within the interior walls or raised flooring of the Premises, provided that
Tenant otherwise complies with the rest of this Lease and that Landlord will
have no obligations or Liabilities in connection therewith. Tenant will
indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from Liabilities in connection with this
wiring and its installation, maintenance and repair, but this wiring will become
Landlord's property on the expiration or termination of this Lease by operation
of Laws or for any other reason (if and to the extent that it is not already
Landlord's property) and Tenant will not remove this wiring. Tenant will
maintain the wiring.
2. CONSTRUCTION OF PREMISES.
Tenant has previously occupied the Premises and the rest of the
Building pursuant to another lease, which has terminated, and so Tenant accepts
the Premises "as is" and with all faults in all respects, and agrees that except
for Landlord's ongoing obligations to repair and maintain as set forth in this
Lease, Landlord is not required to pay for or perform any work to or for the
benefit of the Premises or Tenant.
3. POSSESSION AND SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
When this Lease terminates, Tenant shall remove from the Premises all
of Tenant's signs, movable trade fixtures, movable furniture, movable computer,
movable trade fixtures and other movable telecommunications equipment (and
wiring integral to such computers and equipment), inventory and its other
movable personal property ("Tenant's
2
Movable Property"), and Tenant shall repair any damage caused by said removal;
provided, however, Tenant shall not remove any of Tenant's Movable Property if
said removal will substantially damage the Building. Tenant may, but shall not
be required, to remove Tenant's Movable Property from the data center area on
the ground floor of the Building; and if Tenant does not remove the same it
shall be deemed Landlord's property. Tenant's Movable Property does not include,
and the following shall be excluded from Tenant's Movable Property and shall not
be removed from the Building by Tenant (collectively, "Non-Removed Property"):
HVAC, plumbing, cafeteria, or life safety Systems and Equipment, chillers,
raised flooring, telephone switches, switch gear and associated cabling, standby
generators, paralleling gear, UPS equipment, batteries and all power
distribution equipment and associated Systems and Equipment, all of which
irrevocably will be deemed to be fixtures and part of the realty that will
remain after the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant will not have
the right to remove, lien, hypothecate or subject Non-Removed Property to a
security interest or otherwise Transfer any of the Non-Removed Property or any
other fixtures in the Building that are deemed to be part of the realty or any
interest therein. Furthermore, Tenant will not have the right to remove any
ceilings, or any equipment or wiring that would damage the exterior of the
Building or the structure of the Building or remove any equipment or wiring that
is integral to or necessary for the proper functioning of the base building
Systems and Equipment in the Building, all of which will be deemed fixtures and
included in Non-Removed Property. Tenant's Movable Property remaining after
termination or expiration of the Lease will be deemed abandoned and Landlord may
keep, sell, destroy or dispose of it without incurring any Liabilities to
Tenant. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease: (a) with respect to areas
of the Premises other than the data center on the ground floor, Tenant will
repair all damage and surrender the Premises broom clean and in good order in
its now-existing condition and repair, normal wear and tear excepted; and with
respect to the data center on the ground floor of the Premises, Tenant's only
obligation shall be to repair damage caused by Tenant to the exterior or
structure of the Building or the base building Systems and Equipment.
4. TERM.
The Lease term is as set forth in Section 1.1(b). A "Lease Year" is a
period of twelve (12) consecutive calendar months during the Lease term starting
with the Rent Commencement Date. However, the first Lease Year is the first
twelve (12) full calendar months plus the partial month (if any) after the Rent
Commencement Date if the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of the
month, and the last Lease Year may be less than twelve (12) months if the Lease
is terminated early or if the expiration date does not fall on the end of the
12-month period.
5. RENT.
(a) Tenant will pay the annual base rent as shown in Exhibit "D" in
equal monthly installments in advance beginning on the Rent Commencement Date
and thereafter on the first day of each month during the term, prorated for any
portion of a month. The term "rent" includes base rent, additional rent and all
other amounts to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, whether or not specifically
described as rent. Subject to Subsection (b) below, and except as otherwise set
forth in this Lease with respect to rent abatements, all rent due under this
Lease will be paid without demand, deduction, counterclaim or offset of any type
in lawful U.S. legal tender at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xx Xxxxxxx, XX
00000-0000, Attn: Accounting Dept., or to such other person or place as Landlord
may from time to time designate by written notice pursuant to this Lease. Tenant
will pay the first month's base rent when it executes this Lease.
(b) If and for so long as there is a mortgage loan encumbering the
Project, at the written request of Landlord, Landlord and Tenant will establish
a collection account for the receipt and disbursement of base rent. In such
event, Tenant will pay the base rent as and when required each month into this
collection account, and the collection agent promptly will disburse from such
amount an amount sufficient to pay debt service and any other amounts owed to
the mortgage lender and/or the lender of the loan secured by the letter of
credit, with the balance being disbursed to Landlord. The collection agent and
the terms of this collection account will be subject to the mutual written
approval of Landlord and Tenant, which approval will be based on customary terms
for such agreement and will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The parties
agree to the Bank of America or the Bank of Boston as collection agent, and to a
collection agreement in form substantially similar to the one attached as
Exhibit "B-1.", all at no cost or expense to Tenant.

Landlord and its designees as additional insureds; contain a waiver by the
insurer of any right to subrogation against Landlord and its Affiliates; be from

($5,000,000), and other insurance policies in such amounts, with such
deductibles and providing protection against such perils as Landlord determines
to be necessary in its sole discretion (which may include, without limitation,
rental loss insurance policies). All losses on all policies maintained pursuant
to this Article will be settled in Landlord's name (or as otherwise designated
by Landlord) and proceeds will belong and be paid to Landlord. Landlord makes no
representations or warranties as to the adequacy of any insurance to protect
Landlord's or Tenant's interests. Landlord's insurance policies will contain
waivers of subrogation, and Landlord waives any right to recover against Tenant
for Liabilities in connection with any type of cause or peril which is supposed
to be insured against under the casualty insurance policies required to be

insurance for the Premises within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's
bills from time to time.
(c) Tenant and its Affiliates will not undertake, fail to undertake
or permit any acts or omissions which will in any way increase the cost of,

9. MONTHLY PAYMENT OF TAXES, OPERATING COSTS AND INSURANCE PREMIUMS.
(a) At any time and from time to time, and subject to later change,
Landlord may elect to have Tenant pay Tenant's share of Taxes, Operating Costs
and Landlord's insurance premiums (or any of them) in monthly installments, in
advance on the first of each month, based on amounts estimated by Landlord (as
revised from time to time). If these estimated monthly payments are required,
after the end of each tax fiscal year, Lease Year or other relevant periods
selected by Landlord, Landlord will deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual
amounts due for the period. Any additional amounts due from Tenant will be
payable as additional rent within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's
statement, and any overpayment by Tenant will be refunded by Landlord or
deducted from the next monthly installments due for that particular payment
category. Quarterly, or less frequently, Landlord may deliver a xxxx to Tenant
for Tenant's share of Taxes, Operating Costs or insurance premiums, and Tenant
will pay the amount due to Landlord as additional rent within thirty (30) days
after receipt of Landlord's xxxx. Tenant will receive a credit for any estimated
monthly payments already paid by Tenant for the period covered by that xxxx. If
required by Landlord's lenders, estimated monthly payments of Taxes and/or
Operating Costs and/or insurance premiums will be escrowed with Landlord's
lenders.
(b) No more than once during each twelve (12)-month period during the
term, provided that Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord within sixty (60)
days after receipt of the annual Operating Cost and insurance statements and has
paid the amount of those statements and is not in default, Tenant will have the
right, at its sole cost, to audit with an independent certified public
accountant the Operating Costs and insurance costs charged to Tenant for the
Lease Year to which such statements apply. The auditors must be compensated on
an hourly basis for time spent and not pursuant to a "contingent fee"
arrangement of any type. This audit will take place only at the Project or at
Brickstone Square in Andover, Massachusetts during Landlord's normal business
hours on at least two (2) weeks' prior written notice, in a manner that will not
unreasonably disrupt Landlord's business operations, and for a period not to
exceed five (5) business days. Landlord will not be required to provide analyses
or comparisons for Tenant, but will on request provide, to the extent in
Landlord's possession, line item breakdowns of Operating Costs and insurance
costs and invoices therefor for the applicable Lease Year. Copying of these
materials will not be permitted, but Tenant's auditors may make notes. Tenant
agrees to keep strictly confidential the results of its audits and any
information obtained in
6
connection therewith, as well as any claims, negotiations, proceedings or
settlements with Landlord, and will cause its auditors and other Affiliates to
comply with these confidentiality requirements. As a condition to conducting an
audit, Landlord may require Tenant and its auditors and other Affiliates to sign
confidentiality agreements for this purpose. If an error has been made in the
billing of Operating Costs or insurance costs, whether in favor of Landlord or
Tenant, the sole right and remedy of the parties will be to adjust the amount of
the discrepancy in cash within thirty (30) days (and if Landlord owes amounts to
Tenant Landlord may, at its option, credit those amounts against the rent next
due from Tenant).
10. UTILITIES.
Tenant will pay when due to the furnishing parties all fees and costs
for utility services, and meters and equipment (to the extent not supplied as
part of Landlord's Work), furnished to the Premises, including, without
limitation, telephone, electricity, HVAC, sewer, water and gas (if furnished).
If utilities and services for the Premises are not separately metered or
charged, Tenant will pay its share (as reasonably determined by Landlord) of
such costs directly to Landlord as additional rent, either monthly when base
rent is due, or within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's xxxx, at
Landlord's option. Landlord is not responsible for any Liabilities incurred by
Tenant or Tenant's Affiliates nor may Tenant xxxxx rent, terminate this Lease or
pursue any other right or remedy against Landlord or Landlord's Affiliates, as a
result of any termination or malfunction of any utilities or utility systems.
Landlord retains (and if necessary Tenant hereby grants to Landlord) the sole
and exclusive right to determine the utility provider(s) for the Project,
provided that such providers are commercially reasonable (both as to cost and
reliability); provided, however, that Tenant may choose its own electricity
provider so long as: that provider is commercially reasonable (both as to cost
and reliability); Landlord is not subject to any costs or other Liabilities that
may be required by Tenant's electricity provider in order to provide and
maintain such service (e.g., the cost of any new equipment), all of which will
be borne solely by Tenant; and if Landlord chooses to use Tenant's electricity
provider, the rest of the Building will be charged at the same rates as Tenant.
11. USE OF PREMISES.
Tenant will use the Premises for the purposes described in Section
1.1(i), but for no other purpose. Tenant will:
(a) Operate its business in an attractive and first class
manner. Tenant will not permit any unreasonable (for a data center) noises,
vibrations, odors or fumes in or to emanate from the Premises, nor commit or
permit any waste, improper, immoral or offensive use of the Premises, any public
or private nuisance or anything that unreasonably disturbs the quiet enjoyment
of neighboring occupants. In particular, Tenant agrees that except in
emergencies, it will make commercially reasonable efforts not to test or "test
fire" its backup generators except on Sundays or before or after normal business
hours for neighboring office tenants. All deliveries and pickups must be
conducted at times and in a commercially reasonable manner and so as not to
unreasonably disturb neighboring occupants. All trash and waste products must be
stored, discharged, processed and removed in a commercially reasonable manner
and so as not to unreasonably disturb neighboring occupants, and so as not to be
visible to other occupants of Minuteman Park or create any health or fire
hazard.
(b) Install only window coverings and treatments approved by
Landlord and, once installed, keep them sufficiently closed to shield from
outside view any machinery or other equipment that Landlord determines is
unsightly or inconsistent with the rest of the Building or the rest of Minuteman
Park. The parties acknowledge that the ground floor data center area as now
existing will not have windows.
(c) Not: (i) permit any coin or token operated vending, video,
pinball, gaming or other mechanical devices on the Premises, except solely for
use by Tenant's employees; (ii) conduct retail sales to walk-in customers (other
than occasional sales); (iii) permit governmental or quasi-governmental agencies
to occupy the Premises; (iv) use the Premises as doctors' offices, a school or
educational institution (except for training for customers and/or Tenant's
personnel), living or sleeping quarters; (v) store, sell or distribute obscene,
lewd or pornographic materials or engage in related businesses in or from the
Premises; or (vi) conduct any auction, distress, fire, bankruptcy or
7
going-out-of-business sale. Tenant's business of hosting web pages and
conducting Collocation Activities (defined below) will not be deemed to be in
violation of Subsections (iv) or (v) above.
(d) Comply with: Laws and insurance requirements affecting the
Premises or any use and occupancy thereof by Tenant or its Affiliates
(including, without limitation, making required improvements to the Premises);
and Landlord's rules and regulations from time to time. Tenant will, at its
expense, obtain and maintain all licenses, approvals and variances necessary to
conduct its business and occupy the Premises, but none of those licenses,
permits or variances will be binding on or in any way affect or restrict
Landlord, or the Project itself.
(e) If it wishes, install signs or lettering on the entry
doors to the Premises identifying its tenancy in the manner customary to
first-class office buildings. Landlord also will place Tenant's name on a
building directory. Subject to complying in all instances with applicable Laws,
Tenant also will have the right to have its name appear on a pylon sign in a
location specified by Landlord, identifying its tenancy in the manner customary
to first-class office buildings (the "Additional Signs"). Tenant's rights with
respect to the Additional Signs are personal to the Tenant originally named in
the Lease and may not be exercised or maintained by or for anyone else. If
Tenant defaults, or Transfers any part of this Lease or the Premises (except for
valid subleases that all together aggregate less than fifty percent (50%) of the
rentable area of the Premises when made), and at the expiration of the Lease,
Tenant at its cost will remove the Additional Signs and repair any damage to the
Building and the rest of the Project, all in a manner satisfactory to Landlord
(and in addition to any other rights and remedies of Landlord if Tenant
defaults). The design, materials and construction of the Additional Signs will
be subject in all respects to Landlord's prior approval. Tenant will conform to
standards established by Landlord from time to time for the above signs and
lettering and submit for Landlord's prior approval a plan or sketch of the
Tenant's proposed sign or lettering, and provided that Tenant's signs and
lettering so conform, Landlord's consent will not be unreasonably withheld. All
other signs, lettering, awnings, canopies or other decorations require
Landlord's prior approval.
(f) Not use any advertising or other media or other such
device which can be heard or experienced outside the Premises (except as
permitted in subparagraph (e) above), including without limitation, lights or
audio or visual devices. Tenant will not distribute handbills or advertising,
promotional or other materials anywhere in the Project or solicit business in
the Project other than within its own Premises.
12. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.
12.1 Landlord's Obligations. Landlord will repair and maintain
roadways, sidewalks, common areas, and parking areas of the Project in a
first-class manner and provide snowplowing and landscaping for the Project.
However, Tenant will be responsible for all repairs and maintenance resulting
from Tenant's Alterations or the negligent or intentional acts or omissions of
Tenant or its Affiliates. Landlord will make its repairs within a reasonable
time following Tenant's notification that the repairs are required. Landlord's
obligations are subject to the provisions of Articles 16 and 17 and the rest of
this Lease.
12.2 Tenant's Obligations. Except for Landlord's obligations in Section
12.1 and as set forth immediately below, Tenant will maintain and repair the
Premises and all Systems and Equipment serving the Premises (including
specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the existing
backup generators, telephone switches, switch gear and all associated cabling,
standby generators, holding tanks, paralleling gear, switch gear, UPS equipment,
batteries or any power distribution equipment, or associated Systems and
Equipment, and the life safety Systems and Equipment throughout the entire
Building, even though they also serve areas outside of the Premises) in a
first-class manner (including replacement thereof if and when necessary), and
keep the Premises in good order and condition, including, without limitation,
Tenant's Movable Property, all doors, windows, window treatments, wall
coverings, floor coverings, non-structural portions of the ceiling, floor and
walls, and Tenant's Alterations (unless otherwise requested by Landlord). Tenant
will not be required to repair or maintain the elevators. Subject to Landlord's
prior consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, Tenant may select a
cleaning company of its choice to clean the Premises at Tenant's sole cost. In
furtherance of Tenant's maintenance and repair obligations, Landlord will assign
to Tenant, or cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner with Tenant in
enforcing, any guarantees or warranties applicable to the Building. If
8
Tenant does not repair and maintain as required above or in accordance with
applicable Laws, in addition to any other rights of Landlord hereunder, Landlord
may contract with outside contractors to repair and maintain all or parts of the
Systems and Equipment that Tenant is otherwise required to repair and maintain,
and if so, Tenant will pay to Landlord the reasonable costs thereof.
13. ALTERATIONS.
13.1 Landlord's Consent. "Alterations" means Tenant's alterations,
additions, improvements, remodeling, repainting, or other changes. Tenant may
make nonstructural Alterations to the interior of the Premises without
Landlord's consent as long as the Alterations do not: (a) affect the windows,
the exterior of the Building, or any portion of the Building outside of the
Premises; (b) affect the strength, structural integrity or load-bearing capacity
of any portion of the Building; (c) materially adversely affect the base
building Systems and Equipment in the Building or any life safety Systems and
Equipment, and any replacement of any base building Systems and Equipment must
be with items equivalent to or better than the items being replaced, and any
replacement of life safety Systems and Equipment will require Landlord's prior
written consent; (d) involve the construction of additional toilet rooms; or (e)
in Landlord's reasonable judgment, cost more than a total of Ninety Thousand
Dollars ($90,000) in any Lease Year (increasing at the rate of 3% per year) when
combined with the cost of other Alterations made in that Lease Year (and in this
case Landlord's consent will not be unreasonably withheld if the other
limitations in this Section are complied with). All other Alterations require
Landlord's prior written consent. Whether or not Landlord's consent is required,
Alterations are subject to the rest of this Article.
13.2 Notice. Tenant will notify Landlord not less than fifteen (15)
days before beginning any Alterations (but no notice will be required for
moveable, unattached partitions and work stations). Together with Tenant's
notice, Tenant will give Landlord copies of the necessary permits and approvals
and, if Landlord deems it necessary, plans and specifications for the
Alterations (but not for minor, non-structural Alterations such as wall
coverings, built-in cabinetry, and painting). Landlord's review or approval of
Tenant's plans and specifications is solely for Landlord's benefit and will not
be considered a representation or warranty to Tenant as to safety, adequacy,
efficiency, compliance with Laws or any other matter, or a waiver of any of
Tenant's obligations. Except for items of Tenant's Movable Property, all
Alterations will be deemed Landlord's property and part of the realty, and
unless otherwise requested by Landlord will be surrendered to Landlord with the
Premises (in its now-existing condition, normal wear and tear excepted) at the
end of this Lease.
13.3 Compliance with Laws. Alterations will comply in all respects with
this Lease and applicable Laws and insurance requirements. Alterations will be
done in a first-class manner, using first quality materials, and so as not to
interfere in any way with Landlord or any other occupant in the Building or the
rest of the Project, cause labor disputes, disharmony or delay, or impose any
Liabilities on Landlord. Alterations will be performed only by experienced,
licensed and bonded contractors and subcontractors approved in writing by
Landlord, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant will cause
its contractors and subcontractors to carry workmen's compensation insurance.
13.4 Liens. Tenant will pay when due all claims for labor, materials
and services claimed to be furnished for Tenant or Tenant's Affiliates or for
their benefit and keep the Premises free from all liens, security interests and
encumbrances ("Liens"). Tenant will indemnify Landlord for, and hold Landlord
harmless from, all Liens, the removal of all Liens and any related actions or
proceedings, and all Liabilities incurred by Landlord in connection therewith.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN TO ALL PERSONS FURNISHING LABOR OR MATERIALS TO TENANT
THAT NO MECHANICS', MATERIALMENS' OR OTHER LIENS SOUGHT ON THE PREMISES OR THE
REST OF THE PROJECT WILL IN ANY MANNER AFFECT LANDLORD'S RIGHT, TITLE OR
INTEREST.
13.5 Rooftop. Subject to the following and the rest of this Article and
this Lease, Tenant may maintain its existing telecommunications equipment on the
roof of the Building (or replace with equivalent equipment), provided that in
all cases the equipment and associated installations are fully screened in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and in keeping with the rest of the
Building. Tenant will be responsible for all Liabilities in connection with this
equipment and associated installations, including, without limitation,
installation, removal, operation, repair,
9
maintenance, insurance, taxes and other costs and fees. Tenant also will be
solely responsible for securing all federal, state and local permits in
connection with the installation and operation of this equipment. For these and
any other installations undertaken by or for Tenant on the roof, or any other
penetrations of the roof or the roof membrane by or for Tenant, Tenant will
secure from the membrane roofing manufacturer certification that the
installations or penetrations are compatible with all design requirements and
will not void the existing roof warranty. This certification must be delivered
to Landlord before installation begins. Tenant also will use only a
manufacturer-authorized roofing contractor for any work that requires the
penetration of the roof or the membrane roofing system. Upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, at its expense, will remove this
equipment and associated installations and repair all damage to the roof caused
thereby or otherwise caused by Tenant or its Affiliates. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, Landlord will have no Liabilities in connection with
this equipment and associated installations and/or any penetrations of the roof
by or for Tenant, and Tenant will indemnify Landlord for and hold it free and
harmless from all Liabilities arising out of or in connection therewith.
13.6 Conversion to Office Space. Subject to the following and the rest of
this Article and this Lease (but not Section 13.1(e), which will not apply),
Tenant will have the right to convert portions of the interior of the Premises
from their current use as a data center to office use (the space so converted is
called the "Office Space"). The Office Space will not include the Lobby Area,
the MBF Rooms or the Penthouse, as defined in Section 24.2(b). Tenant will
employ X.X. Xxxx as mechanical engineers and Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxx Rittelman
Associates as architects for the design and construction of the Office Space,
and will construct the Office Space in accordance with their plans,
specifications and recommendations, subject to compliance with applicable Laws.
Tenant will be solely responsible for the timely payment of all fees and costs
for X.X. Xxxx and Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxx Rittelman Associates and all other costs and
other Liabilities in connection with the design and construction of the Office
Space and will indemnify Landlord and its Affiliates therefor and defend and
hold them harmless therefrom.
14. INDEMNITY; SATISFACTION OF REMEDIES.
14.1 Indemnification. In addition to any other indemnities in this Lease,
Tenant will indemnify Landlord for and hold Landlord harmless from Liabilities
arising from or in connection with: acts or omissions of Tenant or its
Affiliates or the conduct of Tenant's business; Tenant's breach of or default
under this Lease; and claims by Tenant's Affiliates or other persons if Landlord
declines to consent to any act, event or document requiring Landlord's consent
under this Lease. Tenant will not be required to pay to or indemnify Landlord
for special, indirect, consequential, punitive or similar damages by reason of
this clause, but this limitation will not apply with respect to Section 22 of
this Lease nor to any obligations or other Liabilities that Tenant may incur
thereunder nor to any damages that Landlord may recover from Tenant thereunder
(whether or not such Liabilities or damages thereunder are considered to be
special, indirect, consequential, punitive or similar damages).
14.2 Damage to Persons or Property. Subject to the rest of this Section and
the rest of this Lease, Landlord will be liable for damages solely to the extent
caused by its own negligence or willful misconduct in breach of this Lease, but
Landlord will not be liable for any special, indirect, consequential, punitive
or similar damages (including, without limitation, any loss of use or revenue by
Tenant or any other person) under any circumstances, or for any Liabilities
arising from or in connection with: acts or omissions of Tenant, any other
tenants of or occupants of the Building or the rest of Project, any third
parties, or their Affiliates, including, without limitation, burglary,
vandalism, theft, or criminal or illegal activity; explosion, fire, steam,
electricity, water, gas, rain, pollution, contamination, hazardous substances,
motor vehicles or any casualties; breakage, leakage, malfunction, obstruction or
other defects in Systems and Equipment, or of any services or utilities; any
work, demolition, maintenance or repairs permitted under this Lease; any
exercise of Landlord's rights under any Laws or under this Lease, including any
entry by Landlord or its Affiliates on the Premises in accordance with this
Lease; or any of the matters described in Section 24.5. Tenant and Tenant's
Affiliates assume the risk of all of these Liabilities and waive all claims
against Landlord in connection therewith. Tenant also waives any Laws or rights
that would permit Tenant to terminate this Lease, perform repairs or maintenance
in lieu of Landlord (or on Landlord's behalf), or offset or withhold any amounts
due because of damage to or destruction of the Premises, any repairs or
maintenance, or for any other reason. Tenant immediately will notify Landlord of
any damage or injury to persons or property and any events which could be
anticipated to give rise to any of the foregoing Liabilities. This
10
exculpation of Landlord and all of Tenant's waivers in this Lease will apply to
all of Tenant's Affiliates to the greatest extent possible. This Section 14.2 is
not meant to reduce the extent of Landlord's obligations to repair or rebuild in
any particular circumstance as may be required in Section 12.1 and Articles 16
and 17 or to prevent Tenant from exercising termination rights (if any)
specifically granted to Tenant elsewhere in this Lease.
14.3 Satisfaction of Remedies. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease or
elsewhere to the contrary: Tenant and its Affiliates will look solely to
Landlord's interest in the Project to satisfy any claims, rights or remedies,
and Landlord and its Affiliates, at every level of ownership and interest, have
no personal or individual liability of any type, whether for breach of this
Lease or otherwise, their assets will not be subject to lien or levy of any
type, nor will they be named individually in any suits, actions or proceedings
of any type.
15. PARKING.
15.1 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
15.2 Parking. At no additional cost to Tenant (other than Tenant's share of
Taxes, insurance and Operating Costs from time to time), Tenant may park in
accordance with applicable Laws one hundred fifty (150) passenger cars in
assigned spaces or on a non-exclusive basis or a combination thereof, as
determined by Landlord, in the parking areas of the Project designated by
Landlord from time to time for Tenant's parking (Tenant's current parking areas
are shown in Exhibit "A"). Landlord may reasonably: change signs, lanes and the
direction of traffic within the parking areas; change, or add parking spaces or
areas devoted to parking for Tenant's use; allow free parking or parking with a
validation, valet, sticker or other system; promulgate rules and regulations;
and take any other actions deemed necessary by Landlord, provided that Tenant
always will have access to its number of parking spaces (except to the extent
that access is prevented by force majeure or necessary repairs and maintenance)
without additional charge, except for Tenant's share of Taxes, insurance and
Operating Costs from time to time. Tenant will not park in spaces assigned to
other tenants or reserved for visitor parking. If Tenant does not use all of its
parking spaces, Landlord may allow others to use those spaces at no charge,
subject to Tenant's right to reclaim those spaces immediately as and when
legitimately needed for Tenant's parking. Subject to the foregoing, if Tenant
converts a portion of the Premises to Office Space as described in Section 13.8,
when the Office Space is completed, the total number of cars that Tenant is
permitted to park will increase to be equal to the following: 3 cars for each
1,000 square feet of area in the Office Space; and 1.96 cars for each 1,000
square feet of area in the rest of the Premises. However, even if Office Space
is created, this additional parking will not be granted in connection with any
Office Space created for up to one hundred fifty (150) employees or other
personnel occupying the Premises. As a purely hypothetical example, if 20,000
square feet of Office Space is created to accommodate Tenant's initial 150
employees, and 30,000 square feet of Office Space is created to house 100
additional employees, Tenant will have the right to park 181 cars (90 cars for
the 30,000 s.f. Office Space created for the 100 additional employees, and 91
cars for the 46,500 s.f. remaining Premises).
16. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
16.1 Repairs. Subject to the rest of this Article and the rest of this
Lease, Landlord will repair damage to the Premises caused by casualties insured
against under standard "all risk" casualty policies. However, Landlord is not
obligated to repair damage for which Tenant or its Affiliates are responsible or
for which Landlord has no liability under other provisions of this Lease. Except
as may otherwise be required by then applicable Laws, Landlord will attempt to
restore the damaged portions to their prior condition, but Landlord is not
required to undertake repairs unless insurance proceeds are available, spend
more than the net insurance proceeds it actually receives and is permitted to
retain for any repair or replacement (unless Tenant first deposits with Landlord
an amount equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the expected shortfall as
reasonably determined by Landlord and agrees in a manner satisfactory to
Landlord and its lenders to promptly fund any additional shortfall), or repair
or replace any damage to Tenant's property, including but not limited to
Tenant's Movable Property or any Alterations. Landlord will begin repairs within
a reasonable time after receiving notice of the damage, required building
permits or licenses and the insurance proceeds payable on account of the damage.
11
16.2 Election to Terminate.
(a) Landlord has the option either to repair the casualty damage, or
terminate this Lease by delivering written notice within sixty (60) days after
the damage occurs, if: the damage occurs during the last year of the term, as it
may be extended; or if Tenant is in default (as that term is defined in Section
21 hereinbelow); or in Landlord's reasonable judgment the repairs normally would
take more than twelve (12) months to complete (as long as there would be at
least one year remaining in the term, as it may be extended, after the expected
repair period); or in Landlord's reasonable judgment the repairs normally would
take more than one hundred twenty (120) days or more than one-third (1/3) of the
remaining term to complete (if there would be less than one (1) year remaining
in the term, as it may be extended, after the expected repair period).
(b) Tenant also has the option to terminate this Lease by delivering
written notice to Landlord if: the casualty damages the Premises and renders it
untenantable, Landlord is required or elects to repair and the repairs which
Landlord is required to make are not substantially completed within ten (10)
months after the damage occurs (subject to extension of this period for up to an
additional two [2] months for delays caused by force majeure); the damage was
not caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or its Affiliates; Tenant is not
in default (as that term is defined in Section 21 hereinbelow); and Tenant
delivers its written termination notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days
after the end of Landlord's repair period and Landlord fails to substantially
complete within sixty (60) days after receiving this notice. Under these
circumstances, this Lease will terminate at the end of this sixty (60)-day
period.
16.3 Abatement of Rent. If the Premises is damaged so as to be untenantable
for more than five (5) consecutive business days, or if Tenant's parking is
damaged and Landlord is not able to replace any of Tenant's lost parking spaces
reasonably promptly and in reasonable proximity and the lack of parking
materially adversely affects Tenant's ability to use the Premises for its
intended purposes, and Landlord is required or elects to repair the damage, base
rent and Tenant's share of Taxes and Landlord's insurance premiums will xxxxx
until Landlord has substantially completed the repairs and given Tenant access
to the Premises (or Tenant's use of the Premises for its intended purposes no
longer is materially impaired), or Tenant reoccupies part of the Premises,
whichever is earlier. If Tenant continues to occupy or reoccupies the Premises
before substantial completion of these repairs but cannot use substantially all
of the Premises because of these ongoing repairs, base rent and Tenant's share
of Taxes and Landlord's insurance premiums will xxxxx in proportion to the
degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is impaired, as reasonably
determined by Landlord. Base rent and Tenant's share of Taxes and Landlord's
insurance premiums will not be abated if the acts or omissions of Tenant or its
Affiliates render Landlord unable to collect the rental loss insurance proceeds
that otherwise would have been payable to Landlord. The abatement of base rent
and Tenant's share of Taxes and Landlord's insurance premiums described above is
Tenant's sole remedy against and compensation from Landlord in connection with
any damage, destruction or repairs.
17. CONDEMNATION.
If all or substantially all of the Premises or the Project is condemned,
taken or appropriated by any public or quasi-public authority under the power of
eminent domain, police power or otherwise, or if there is a sale in lieu thereof
("Condemned"), this Lease will terminate when title or possession is taken by
the condemning authority or its designee. If:
(a) More than twenty-five percent (25%) of the usable area of the
Premises or of Tenant's parking spaces is Condemned, either Landlord or Tenant
may terminate this Lease when title or possession is taken by the condemning
authority or its designee by delivering written notice to the other within
fifteen (15) days thereafter. (But, notwithstanding the foregoing, even if less
than twenty five percent (25%) of the usable area of the Premises is Condemned
but more than twenty five percent (25%) of Tenant's parking spaces is Condemned,
Tenant will not have the right to terminate the Lease if Landlord, at its
option, is able to replace any of Tenant's lost parking spaces in excess of the
twenty five percent (25%) maximum reasonably promptly and in reasonable
proximity to the Project. Landlord also will have the right to terminate this
Lease if more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the useable area of the Building
or the rest of the Project is Condemned.
12
(b) Part of the Premises is Condemned and this Lease is not
terminated, Landlord will make the necessary repairs so that, to the extent
reasonably possible, the remaining part of the Premises will be a complete
architectural unit. If part of Tenant's parking is Condemned and this Lease is
not terminated, Landlord will if possible under applicable Laws and if
commercially reasonable, replace the lost parking so that the ratio of the
number of Tenant's parking spaces after the Condemnation compared to the
rentable area of the Premises after the Condemnation is not materially less than
the ratio of Tenant's total initial parking spaces compared to the initial
rentable area of the Premises. Otherwise, Landlord's restoration or replacement
will be conducted as described in Section 16.1, except that Landlord will not be
required to begin repairs until a reasonable time after it receives any
necessary building permits and substantially all of the proceeds of any awards
granted for the Condemnation.
All proceeds, income, rent, awards and interest in connection with any
Condemnation will belong to Landlord, whether awarded as compensation for
diminution of value to the leasehold improvements, or the unexpired portion of
this Lease, or otherwise. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord and the
condemning authority with respect thereto, but nothing in this Section prevents
Tenant from bringing a separate action against the condemning authority for
moving costs or for lost goodwill (as long as this separate action does not
diminish Landlord's recovery).
18. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.
18.1 Landlord's Consent Required. Each of the events described in the
following Sections 18.1(a) and (b) are hereinafter referred to as a "Transfer",
and each person or entity who succeeds to any of the interests of Tenant in the
Lease pursuant to a Transfer is hereinafter referred to as a "Transferee":
(a) Assignment or Subletting. Tenant will not voluntarily,
involuntarily or by operation of any Laws assign or sublet the Premises without
Landlord's prior written consent in each instance. Any attempt to do so without
this consent will be null and void and a default. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Tenant will not have the right or power to assign
or sublet any portion of the Premises or its rights therein (e.g., Tenant's
right to park in its parking areas) except pursuant and incidental to a good
faith and valid assignment of this Lease or a good faith and valid sublease of a
portion of the Premises.
(b) Sale, Hypothecation or Mortgage. Tenant will not voluntarily,
involuntarily or by operation of any Laws sell, convey, mortgage, subject to a
security interest, license, or otherwise transfer or encumber all or any part of
Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Premises without Landlord's prior written
consent in each instance. Any attempt to do so without this consent will be null
and void and a default.
18.2 Notice. Tenant will notify Landlord in writing at least fourteen (14)
days before any proposed or pending Transfer and will deliver to Landlord such
information as Landlord may reasonably request in connection with the proposed
or pending Transfer and the proposed Transferee, including, without limitation,
a copy of the proposed Transfer documents, financial statements and other
financial information about and banking references for the proposed Transferee,
and information as to the type of business and business experience of the
proposed Transferee. All of this information must be suitably authenticated.
18.3 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
18.4 Standard for Landlord's Consent.
(a) If Tenant's request for any Transfer is delivered to Landlord
during the first (1st) Lease Year and involves the parts of the Premises not
used for a data center, then Landlord shall have the right to grant or withhold
its consent in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Subject to Section 18.4(a) above, if Tenant's request for a
Transfer involves an assignment or subletting, then Landlord will not
unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent.
13
(c) If Tenant's request for a Transfer involves a sale,
conveyance, mortgage, security interest, license, or other transfer or
encumbrance, then Landlord may grant or withhold consent arbitrarily and in its
sole and absolute discretion.
(d) Tenant agrees that the withholding of Landlord's consent
will be deemed reasonable if Tenant is in default (as that term is defined in
Section 21 below) or Tenant has failed to comply with the rest of this Article,
or if any of the following conditions are not satisfied:
(i) The proposed assignee or subtenant will use the
Premises strictly in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
(ii) The business of the proposed assignee or subtenant is
consistent with the other uses and the standards of the Project in Landlord's
reasonable judgment.
(iii) The proposed assignee or subtenant has a credit rating
reasonably acceptable to Landlord, and otherwise has sufficient independent
financial capabilities to perform all of its obligations under this Lease or the
proposed sublease, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, and within the two-year
period prior to the Transfer has not been subject to a bankruptcy or
reorganization or any proceedings or court-ordered compliance in connection
therewith, or had a receiver managing any of its affairs or assets or been
subject to criminal judgments.
(iv) Neither the proposed assignee or subtenant nor its
Affiliates is or has been a tenant or occupant or has engaged in good faith
negotiations for space in the Building or in Minuteman Park or in Brickstone
Square, located in Andover, Massachusetts, within the six (6) month period
before the delivery of Tenant's written notice.
(v) A proposed sublease will not result in more than three
(3) entities or businesses occupying the Premises.
These conditions are not exclusive and Landlord may consider other factors in
determining if it should grant or reasonably withhold its consent.
18.5 Defined Terms.
(a) For purposes of this Section 18.5, the following terms shall
have the following meaning:
(i) A "Tenant Affiliated Entity" means and refers to a
person, corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other business
entity or organization which is a parent corporation of Tenant, or a subsidiary
corporation of Tenant, or is under common control of Tenant.
(ii) An "Unrelated Entity" means and refers to a person,
corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other business entity or
organization which is not a Tenant Affiliated Entity.
(b) An assignment of the Lease or sublease of all or part of the
Premises by Tenant to a Tenant Affiliated Entity will be deemed to be a
permitted assignment or sublease, will not require the consent of Landlord and
will not be subject to the excess or "bonus" rent provisions set forth in
Section 18.7 below, but will be subject to all other provisions of this Article
18. Any Transferee or other acquiring party of all or substantially all of
Tenant's assets will be deemed to have assumed all of Tenant's Liabilities under
this Lease, and Tenant will make such Transferee or other acquiring party aware
of this provision. Sublessees do not have the right, power, authority to further
sub-sublease or otherwise Transfer all or any portion of or interest in the
space they sublease. A liquidation or dissolution of Tenant will be deemed to be
an attempted assignment of this Lease subject to the terms of this Article 18
and the rest of this Lease.
(c) Any Transferee will be deemed to have assumed all of
Tenant's obligations and Liabilities
14
under this Lease (all of which shall be deemed to run with the land) and will be
deemed to be bound by this Lease, and Tenant and the assignee will indemnify
Landlord and hold it harmless from all Liabilities in connection with the
assignment. To confirm the foregoing, a prospective Transferee (other than a
sublessee) will be required to execute and deliver to Landlord an unconditional
written assumption of Tenant's Liabilities under this Lease and the indemnity
described above, and Tenant and the Transferee will be deemed to be jointly and
severally liable for all Liabilities of the tenant under this Lease and any
existing and future amendments thereto (although such a written assumption shall
not be required to establish the full liability of the Transferee for all of
Tenant's Liabilities under this Lease). A sublease will be deemed to be subject
and subordinate to this Lease in all respects. Tenant and the subtenant will
indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from all Liabilities in connection with
the sublease. The subtenant will acquire no rights or claims against Landlord or
its Affiliates and will not have the right to enforce any of Tenant's rights and
remedies under this Lease against Landlord. If this Lease is terminated or
Landlord rightfully reenters or repossesses the Premises, Landlord may terminate
the sublease, or at its option, become the sublessor under the sublease and the
subtenant will attorn to Landlord, but Landlord will not be liable for Tenant's
acts or omissions, subject to any existing defenses or offsets against Tenant or
bound by any amendment to the sublease made without Landlord's prior written
consent. By entering into a sublease, Tenant and the sublessee agree that if the
sublessee breaches an obligation under its sublease which would also constitute
a default by Tenant under this Lease if not cured within applicable grace
periods, then Landlord will have all of the rights and remedies against the
subtenant that is also has against Tenant for such a default. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Landlord will be permitted (by assignment of
the cause of action or otherwise) to join the Tenant in any action or proceeding
against subtenant or to proceed against the subtenant directly in the name of
Tenant to enforce these rights and remedies. Tenant will cooperate with Landlord
and execute such documents as may be reasonably necessary to implement these
rights granted to Landlord. The exercise of these rights and remedies will not
constitute an election of remedies and will not in any way impair Landlord's
right to pursue other or similar rights and remedies directly against Tenant,
nor will the grant or exercise of these rights or remedies result in the
subtenant acquiring any rights or claims against Landlord or its Affiliates.
18.6 No Release of Tenant. Whether or not Landlord consents, no
Transfer will release or alter the primary liability of Tenant and the
transferor to pay rent and perform all of Tenant's other obligations under this
Lease. However, if NaviSite, Inc. validly assigns this Lease, it will not be
deemed to be in default hereunder until and unless it first receives written
notice of the Tenant's default and then fails to cure that default within the
applicable cure periods set forth in this Lease. The acceptance of rent by
Landlord from any person other than Tenant is not a waiver by Landlord. Consent
to one Transfer will not be deemed to be consent to any subsequent Transfer. If
any Transferee defaults under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against
the Transferee and/or against Tenant without proceeding or exhausting its
remedies against the other. After any Transfer, Landlord may consent to
subsequent Transfers of or amendments to this Lease without notifying Tenant or
any other person, without obtaining consent thereto, and without relieving
Tenant of liability under this Lease (as it may be modified), except that
Tenant's aggregate monetary liability under this Lease, as it may be modified,
will not be greater than it would have been under this Lease without the
modification.
18.7 Additional Terms. Tenant will pay Landlord's reasonable attorneys'
fees and other costs in connection with any request for Landlord's consent to a
Transfer. To be effective all assignments and subleases must always prohibit any
further assignment, subleasing or other Transfer and state that they are subject
and subordinate to the terms of this Lease. Subject to Section 18.5, Tenant and
its Affiliates will not, directly or indirectly, take an assignment or sublease
from, or otherwise occupy premises leased to, any existing or future tenants (or
their assignees, sublessees or successors) of space in the Building or in the
rest of Minuteman Park or in Brickstone Square, located in Andover,
Massachusetts. The surrender of this Lease or its termination will not be a
merger, but Landlord will have the right to terminate all subleases and the
occupancy rights of all Transferees. Tenant will pay to Landlord as additional
rent: fifty percent (50%) of all consideration as and when paid for or by reason
of any assignment of this Lease; and, in the case of a sublease, fifty percent
(50%) of the amount by which the sublease rent and other consideration as and
when paid for the sublease (less the sublessee's pro-rata payment of real estate
taxes and insurance, to the extent paid, and less reasonable costs paid by
Tenant to unaffiliated third parties specifically and directly for the sublease,
such as tenant improvement costs and brokerage commissions) exceeds the base
rent for the sublease term (pro rated for the square footage subleased). At
Landlord's option, Landlord may collect all or any part of this additional rent
directly from the payor, and consideration paid or payable will be defined in
its broadest sense.
15
18.8 Collocation Activities Not A Transfer. Notwithstanding anything in
this Lease to the contrary, the following activities (collectively, "Collocation
Activities") shall not constitute a Transfer of the Lease or the Premises,
Tenant shall not be required to secure Landlord's consent prior to conducting
Collocation Activities, and Tenant shall not, as a consequence of conducting
Collocation Activities, be required to pay Landlord any excess or "bonus rent"
(and revenue received by Tenant from Collocation Activities will be exempt from
the applicable provisions in Section 18.7 hereinabove), provided that in all
cases the Collocation Activities are otherwise subject to all of the terms of
this Lease and do not involve the occupancy of space in the Premises by
personnel other than for the sole purposes set forth in Section 18.8(c):
(a) The placement of computer equipment, servers, routers and
other telecommunications and electronic equipment and devices ("Third Party
Equipment") owned by third parties ("Third Parties") in specified portions of
the Premises pursuant to an agreement with Tenant, whereby Tenant connects the
Third Party Equipment to electrical power and the internet and provides
electronic, computer, data and telecommunication services to the Third Party and
to the Third Party Equipment ("Collocation Services");
(b) The granting to Third Parties of a license, sublicense, lease,
sublease or other similar agreement whereby the Third Party has the right to
place its Third Party Equipment in designated locations within the Premises; and
(c) The granting to Third Parties of the right to temporarily
enter portions of the Premises to operate, repair, maintain, change, remove
and/or replace their Third Party Equipment.
19. MORTGAGEE PROTECTION.
19.1 Subordination and Attornment. This Lease is subordinate to all
Superior Leases and Mortgages (defined in Section 24.4), and Tenant will attorn
to each person or entity that succeeds to Landlord's interest under this Lease,
provided that such person or entity agrees in writing not to disturb Tenant's
rights under this Lease as long as Tenant is not in default. This Section is
self-operative, but if requested to confirm a subordination, non-disturbance
and/or attornment, Tenant will execute the form subordination, non-disturbance
and attornment agreements furnished by the then-current lessor or mortgagee
under any of the Superior Leases and Mortgages (a "Landlord's Mortgagee") within
ten (10) days after request, provided that such agreements are not materially
more adverse to Tenant with respect to any of Tenant's substantive rights under
this Lease than any (or all) of the forms attached hereto as Exhibit "G."
However, if a Landlord's Mortgagee elects in writing, this Lease will be
superior to its Superior Lease and Mortgage specified, regardless of the date of
recording, and Tenant will execute an agreement confirming this election on
request. Provided that Tenant does not default, and on the specific written
request of Tenant, Landlord will request that the then-current Landlord's
Mortgagees offer to execute their then-current standard form subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreements with Tenant. If for any reason such
offers are not extended or such agreements are not signed, it will not be a
default by Landlord, this Lease will continue in full force and effect subject
to its terms, and Tenant' obligations and other Liabilities under this Lease
will not be deemed waived, canceled, reduced , modified, or otherwise affected
in any way.
19.2 Mortgagee's Liability. The obligations and Liabilities of
Landlord, Landlord's Mortgagees or their successors under this Lease will exist
only if and for so long as each of these respective parties owns fee title to
the Project or is the lessee under a ground lease of the Project. Tenant will be
liable to Landlord's Mortgagees or their successors if any of those parties
become the owner of the Premises for any base rent paid more than thirty (30)
days in advance. Landlord's Mortgagees and their successors will not be liable
for: (a) acts or omissions of prior owners; (b) the return of any security
deposit or Letter of Credit not delivered or credited to them (and Landlord
agrees to deliver or credit Tenant's unapplied security deposit [if Tenant ever
makes a security deposit to Landlord under this Lease] to Landlord's Mortgagees
if they succeed to Landlord's interest under this Lease); or (c) amendments to
this Lease made without their consent (if their consent is required under a
Superior Lease or Mortgage).
16
19.3 Mortgagee's Right to Cure. No act or omission (if any) which
otherwise entitles Tenant under the terms of this Lease to be released from any
Lease obligations or to terminate this Lease will result in such a release or
termination unless Tenant first gives written notice of the act or omission to
Landlord and Landlord's Mortgagees and those parties then fail to correct or
cure the act or omission within ninety (90) days thereafter, or such longer
period of time as may be commercially reasonable if necessary to allow the
Landlord's Mortgagees to acquire title to the Project in order to cure the act
or omission. Nothing in this Section or the rest of this Lease obligates
Landlord's Mortgagees to correct or cure any act or omission or is meant to
imply that Tenant has the right to terminate this Lease or be released from its
obligations unless that right is explicitly granted elsewhere in this Lease.
20. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.
Landlord or Tenant or Guarantor will from time to time, within fifteen
(15) days after request by the other, execute and deliver an estoppel
certificate in form satisfactory to the other which will certify (except as may
be noted) such information concerning this Lease and/or the Guaranty as the
other may request.
21. DEFAULT.
The occurrence of one or more of the following events will be a default
by Tenant under this Lease: (a) the abandoning of the Premises; (b) the failure
to pay rent or any other required amount within seven (7) days after written
notice that the payment is due; (c) a default as provided in Article 23
hereinbelow; (d) the failure to comply with the terms of Article 25 within five
(5) days after written notice; (e) a Transfer in violation of Article 18; (f) a
default by the Guarantor under its Guaranty; (g) the failure to maintain its
required insurance policies within seven (7) days after written notice (although
Tenant still will pay and be responsible for all Liabilities incurred by
Landlord as a result of Tenant's failure to maintain its required insurance
policies, whether or not such failure is subsequently cured); or (h) the failure
to comply with or perform any other obligation, term or condition for which
there is a specified time for compliance or performance set forth in this Lease
within five (5) days after written notice of such failure; if no time period is
specified, it will be a default if this failure continues for fifteen (15) days
after written notice from Landlord to Tenant, but if more than fifteen (15) days
are reasonably required to cure, Tenant will not be in default if Tenant begins
to cure within the fifteen (15) day period and then diligently completes the
cure as soon as possible but within ninety (90) days after the notice of default
is given (but this 90-day limitation will not apply if Tenant's failure to
comply involves its failure to complete structural repairs if more than 90 days
is reasonably required to diligently complete such repairs). Whenever the term
"default" is used in this Lease, it shall mean and refer to a default as
described in this Article 21, including applicable notice and cure periods. If
Tenant defaults, unless Landlord subsequently gives another written notice of
default to Tenant (provided that the original default initially required
Landlord to send a written notice as set forth above) and Tenant fails to cure
that default within ten (10) days after that subsequent notice of default,
Landlord will not have the right to terminate this Lease nor will that default
cause Tenant to lose its rights with respect to the Additional Signs under
Section 11(e). At its option, Landlord will have the right to withhold in whole
or in part payment and/or performance of any its obligations that are premised
on the absence of a default until and unless such a cure is tendered within that
subsequent 10-day period. If Tenant fails to cure within that subsequent 10-day
period, Landlord will have the right to terminate if it wishes, and in any case
Tenant will lose those rights. Nothing in this Article 21 will be deemed to
limit in any way Landlord's rights and remedies hereunder, at law or in equity
in connection with a default, and notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else
to the contrary, Landlord will not be required to give that subsequent notice of
default more than twice in any 12-month period if the defaults involve the
non-payment of money, and in such case Landlord's single notice of default will
suffice.
22. REMEDIES FOR DEFAULT.
22.1 General. If Tenant defaults, Landlord may at any time thereafter,
with or without notice or demand, do any or all of the following: (a) give
Tenant written notice stating that the Lease is terminated, effective on the
giving of notice or on a date stated in the notice, as Landlord may elect, in
which event this Lease will terminate without further action; (b) with or
without process of law or notice, and with or without terminating this Lease,
terminate Tenant's right of possession and enter and repossess the Premises
either by force or otherwise, and expel Tenant and Tenant's Affiliates,
17
and remove their property and effects, without being guilty of trespass; and (c)
pursue any other right or remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under
this Lease or at law or in equity.
22.2 Tenant's Obligations. If any default, termination, reentry or
dispossess occurs:
(a) All rent provided for in this Lease to the time of the default
will become due and will be paid to the time of the default, termination,
reentry or dispossess, together with such costs as Landlord may incur for
attorneys' fees and costs, inspection, brokerage fees, putting the Premises in
good order, condition and repair and/or for preparing and improving the Premises
for re-letting.
(b) Landlord may, at its sole option, re-let all or any portion of
the Premises on terms satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion, either in
its own name or otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at Landlord's option,
be more or less than the balance of the term of this Lease and pursuant to one
or more leases, and Landlord may grant concessions, tenant allowances and/or
free rent, among other things.
(c) Subject to Section 22.2(e), whether or not the Premises are
re-let, Tenant will pay punctually to Landlord all of the rent and other sums
and perform all of Tenant's obligations for the entire Lease term (assuming the
original expiration date and any exercised options) in the same manner and at
the same time as if this Lease had not been terminated.
(d) If Landlord re-lets the Premises, Tenant will be entitled to a
credit in the net amount of the rent actually received by Landlord from the
re-letting, after deducting all expenses described in Sections 22.2(a) and
22.2(f) and the costs of collecting the rent. Rent received by Landlord after
re-letting first will be applied against Landlord's expenses as described above
until those expenses are recovered. Until recovery of those expenses, Tenant
will pay as and when due all amounts it is required to pay under this Lease.
Tenant's obligations prior to any re-letting and recovery of expenses will not
be diminished even if the re-letting is for a rent higher than the rent
hereunder. When and if these expenses have been completely recovered, and
subject to the rest of this Section, amounts collected by Landlord from the
re-letting that have not previously been applied will be credited against
Tenant's obligations to the extent arising on or before the date of collection
by Landlord, and otherwise when each payment would fall due under this Lease,
and only the net amount thereof will be payable by Tenant. Amounts received by
Landlord from re-letting for any period will be credited only against
obligations of Tenant allocable to that period or periods prior thereto, and not
against Tenant's obligations accruing after that period, nor will any credit be
given to Tenant for amounts received by Landlord for any period after the
original expiration date of this Lease.
(e) At Landlord's option, in lieu of other damages, Landlord may,
by written notice to Tenant at any time after Tenant's default, elect to
recover, and Tenant will thereupon pay, as liquidated damages, an amount equal
to the excess, if any, of: (i) the present value (assuming a 7% discount rate)
of the total rent and other benefits which would have accrued to Landlord under
this Lease for the remainder of the Lease term (assuming the original expiration
date and any exercised Extension Options) if the default had not occurred plus
all of the expenses described in Sections 22.2(a) and 22.2(f); less (ii) the
present value (assuming a 7% discount rate) of the cash rental to be paid to
Landlord for any lease or leases of the Premises actually executed by Landlord
at the time Landlord exercises its option, subject to Subsection (d) above.
(f) No action of Landlord in connection with any re-letting, or
failure to re-let or collect rent under such re-letting, will operate or be
construed to release or reduce Tenant's Liabilities hereunder. Without limiting
any of the foregoing provisions, and in addition to any other amounts that
Tenant is otherwise obligated to pay, Tenant agrees that Landlord may recover
from Tenant all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and costs,
incurred by Landlord in enforcing this Lease from and after Tenant's default.
22.3 Redemption. Tenant waives any and all rights of redemption granted
by or under any Laws if Tenant is evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or if
Landlord obtains possession of the Premises by reason of the violation by Tenant
of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease, or otherwise.
18
22.4 Performance by Landlord. If Tenant defaults or fails to perform
any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, without waiving or curing the
default or failure, may, but will not be obligated to, perform Tenant's
obligations for the account and at the expense of Tenant. Notwithstanding
anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the case of an emergency or to
prevent damage or injury or protect health, safety or property, Landlord need
not give any notice before performing Tenant's obligations. Tenant will pay on
demand all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord's
performance of Tenant's obligations, and Tenant will indemnify Landlord for and
hold Landlord harmless from all Liabilities incurred by Landlord in connection
therewith.
22.5 Post-Judgment Interest. The amount of any judgment obtained by
Landlord against Tenant in any legal proceeding arising out of Tenant's default
under this Lease will bear interest until paid at the Bank of America announced
prime rate plus two percent (2%), or the maximum rate permitted by law,
whichever is less. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
Laws, with respect to any damages that are certain or ascertainable by
calculation, interest will accrue from the day that the right to the damages
vests in Landlord, and in the case of any unliquidated claim, interest will
accrue from the day the claim arose.
23. [SEE EXHIBIT "F"]
24. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
24.1 Holding Over. Tenant will not hold over in the Premises after the
end of the Lease term without the express prior written consent of Landlord.
Tenant will indemnify Landlord for, and hold Landlord harmless from, any and all
Liabilities arising out of or in connection with any holding over, including,
without limitation, any claims made by any succeeding tenant and any loss of
rent suffered by Landlord. If, despite this express agreement, any tenancy is
created by Tenant's holding over, except as specifically set forth in the next
sentence the tenancy will be a tenancy at sufferance terminable immediately at
Landlord's sole option on written notice to Tenant, but otherwise subject to the
terms of this Lease, except that the most recent annual base rent will be
doubled. Nothing in this Article or elsewhere in this Lease permits Tenant to
hold over or in any way limits Landlord's other rights and remedies if Tenant
holds over.
24.2 Entry By Landlord.
(a) Subject to rest of this Section, Landlord and its Affiliates
will have the right to enter the Premises only if on at least twenty four (24)
hours prior notice from Landlord. If Tenant makes a representative available
after such notice, Landlord will enter accompanied by such a representative, and
in such cases Landlord will comply with security procedures of Tenant, provided
that they do not unreasonably interfere with the exercise of Landlord's rights
under this Lease. Subject to the foregoing and the rest of this Section,
Landlord and its Affiliates at all times will have the right to enter the
Premises, and Landlord will retain (or be given by Tenant) keys to unlock all
the doors to or within the Premises, excluding doors to Tenant's vaults and
files. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary, Landlord
and its Affiliates will have the right to use any means necessary to enter the
Premises if Landlord believes there is an emergency or that entry is necessary
to prevent damage or injury or protect health, safety or property, and in such
event Landlord will be required to give only such notice (if any) that it in
good faith believes is feasible under the circumstances and need not wait to be
accompanied by Tenant or its employees or representatives (although these
parties may still accompany Landlord if they are available and wish to do so).
Such entry to the Premises and the exercise of Landlord's rights will not, under
any circumstances, be deemed to be a default, a forcible or unlawful entry into
or a detainer of the Premises or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any
portion thereof, nor will it subject Landlord to any Liabilities or entitle
Tenant to any compensation, abatement of rent or other rights and remedies.
(b) Notwithstanding Subsection (a) above or anything else to the
contrary, although the lobby area of the Premises, the MBF rooms and the
Penthouse area of the Premises, all as shown in Exhibit "A-1" (the "Lobby Area,"
the "MBF Rooms," and the "Penthouse," respectively) will remain part of the
Premises, Tenant understands and agrees that: Tenant's use of the Lobby Area,
the MBF Rooms and the Penthouse is non-exclusive, and Landlord may allow others
to use those areas; the Lobby Area may be freely used by Landlord and other
tenants, occupants and invitees
19
in the Building at all times for access, ingress and egress from the Ground
Floor of the Building to the Second Floor and other areas of the Building and
the Project; Tenant may not alter or reconfigure the Lobby Area, the MBF Rooms
and the Penthouse without Landlord's prior written consent nor may Tenant close
any of them at any time, whether before, during or after business hours, or deny
access to others permitted by Landlord to use them, except to the extent
previously approved by Landlord in writing; Landlord may permit the installation
of signage in the Lobby Area identifying the other tenants and occupants in the
Building; Landlord may provide security personnel to staff the reception desk in
the Lobby Area, and if it does the costs therefor will be part of Operating
Costs; and Landlord and its designees will have the right to freely access and
use the MBF Rooms and the Penthouse and install Systems and Equipment therein.
Access to the MBF Rooms, but not the Lobby Area or the Penthouse, will be
subject to the terms of Section 24.2(a) above.
24.3 Brokers. Tenant represents and warrants that it has had no dealings
with any agent, broker, finder or other person who is or might be entitled to a
commission or other fee from Landlord in connection with this or any related
transaction.
24.4 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Tenant pays all rent and performs its
other obligations as required, Tenant may quietly enjoy the Premises without
hindrance or molestation by Landlord or any person lawfully claiming through or
under Landlord, subject to the terms of this Lease and the terms of any Superior
Leases and Mortgages, and all other agreements or matters of record or to which
this Lease is subordinate. As used in this Lease, the term "Superior Leases and
Mortgages" means all present and future ground leases, underlying leases,
mortgages, deeds of trust or other title exceptions, and all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements or extensions thereof and advances
made thereunder, affecting all or any portion of the Project.
24.5 Security. Tenant is solely responsible for providing security for the
Premises and Tenant's personnel. Without limiting the generality of this
Article, Tenant agrees that: (a) Landlord may, but will not be required to,
supply security personnel and systems for the Building, and remove or restrain
unauthorized persons and prevent unauthorized acts; (b) Landlord will incur no
Liabilities for failing to provide security personnel or systems or, if
provided, for acts, omissions or malfunctions of the security personnel or
systems; and (c) Landlord and its Affiliates make no representations or
warranties of any kind in connection with the security or safety of the Premises
or the rest of the Project.
24.6 Obligations; Successors; Recordation. If Tenant consists of more than
one person or entity, the obligations and liabilities of those persons or
entities are joint and several. Time is of the essence of this Lease. Subject to
the restrictions in Article 18, this Lease inures to the benefit of and binds
Landlord, Tenant and their respective Affiliates. Tenant will not record this
Lease but Tenant may record a memorandum of this Lease, in form satisfactory to
Landlord, to comply with the Massachusetts statutory notice provisions. If this
Lease expires or is terminated, this memorandum will be deemed null and void and
removed from title, and Tenant will execute and record such documents as may be
necessary to accomplish this at Landlord's request, and if Tenant refuses to do
so, Landlord may execute and record such documents in Tenant's name or in its
own name.
24.7 Late Charges. If any rent or other amounts payable by Tenant are not
received within five (5) days after the due date, Tenant will pay to Landlord on
demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount, and if
not received within ten (10) days after the due date, the amounts also will bear
interest from the due date until paid at the interest rate in Section 22.5.
Collection of these late charges and interest will not: be a waiver or cure of
Tenant's default or failure to perform; be deemed to be liquidated damages, an
invalid penalty or an election of remedies; or prevent Landlord from exercising
any other rights and remedies.
24.8 Accord and Satisfaction. Payment by Tenant or acceptance by Landlord
of less than the full amount of rent due is not a waiver, but will be deemed to
be on account of amounts next due, and no endorsements or statements on any
check or any letter accompanying any check or payment will be deemed an accord
and satisfaction or binding on Landlord. Landlord may accept the check or
payment without prejudice to any of Landlord's rights and remedies, including,
without limitation, the right to recover the full amount due.
20
24.9 Prior Agreements; Amendments; Waiver. This Lease is an integrated
document and contains all of the agreements of the parties with respect to any
matter covered or mentioned in this Lease, and supersedes all prior agreements
or understandings relating to the subject matter herein. This Lease may not be
amended except by an agreement in writing signed by the parties. All waivers
must be in writing, specify the act or omission waived and be signed by
Landlord. No other alleged waivers will be effective, including, without
limitation, Landlord's acceptance of rent, collection of a late charge or
application of a security deposit. Landlord's waiver of any specific act,
omission, term or condition will not be a waiver of any other or subsequent act,
omission, term or condition.
24.10 Representations; Inability to Perform. Landlord and its Affiliates
have not made, and Tenant is not relying on, any representations or warranties
of any kind, express or implied, with respect to the Premises or this
transaction. Landlord will not be in default nor incur any Liabilities if it
can't fulfill any of its obligations, or is delayed in doing so, because of
accidents, breakage, strike, labor troubles, war, sabotage, governmental
regulations or controls, inability to obtain materials or services, acts of God,
or any other cause, whether similar or dissimilar, beyond Landlord's reasonable
control (i.e., "force majeure"); provided, however, that this will not be deemed
to extend the time periods in Article 16, except to the extent that extension
for force majeure is specifically permitted as provided therein.
24.11 Legal Proceedings. In any action or proceeding involving or relating
in any way to this Lease, the court or other person or entity having
jurisdiction in such action or proceeding will award to the party in whose favor
judgment is entered the actual attorneys' fees and costs incurred. Tenant also
will indemnify Landlord for, and hold Landlord harmless from and against, all
Liabilities incurred by Landlord if Landlord becomes or is made a party to any
proceeding or action: (a) involving Tenant and any third party, or by or against
any person holding any interest under or using the Premises by license of or
agreement with Tenant (except and strictly to the extent that Landlord is
finally determined to be a joint tortfeasor with Tenant against such third
party); or (b) necessary to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease in a
proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code. Unless prohibited by law, Tenant waives
the right to trial by jury in all actions involving or related to this Lease,
the Premises, the Project, or any collateral or subsequent agreements between
the parties, and any right to impose a counterclaim in any proceeding brought
for possession of the Premises as a result of Tenant's default. Tenant also
submits to and agrees not to contest the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the
state and federal courts located in Massachusetts to adjudicate all matters in
connection with this Lease or involving Landlord or Landlord's Affiliates in any
way, and Tenant agrees that it will bring all suits and actions only in such
Massachusetts courts and not to seek a change of venue. Service on any one or
more of the individuals comprising Tenant will conclusively be deemed service on
all of those individuals. In any circumstance where Tenant is obligated to
indemnify or hold harmless Landlord under this Lease, that obligation also will
run in favor of Landlord's Affiliates, and will include the obligation to
protect Landlord and its Affiliates, and defend them with counsel acceptable to
Landlord, and Tenant will pay when due all attorneys' fees and costs. These
obligations to indemnify, hold harmless, protect and defend will survive the
expiration or termination of this Lease.
24.12 Ownership; Invalidity; Remedies; Choice of Law. As used in this
Lease, the term "Landlord" means only the current owner or owners of the fee
title to the Project. Upon each conveyance (whether voluntary or involuntary) of
fee title, the conveying party will be relieved of all Liabilities and
obligations contained in or derived from this Lease or arising out of any act,
occurrence or omission occurring after the date of such conveyance. Landlord may
Transfer all or any portion of its interests in this Lease or the Project
without affecting Tenant's obligations and Liabilities under this Lease. Tenant
has no right, title or interest in the name of the Building or the Project, and
may use these names only to identify its location. Any provision of this Lease
which is invalid, void or illegal will not affect, impair or invalidate any of
the other provisions and the other provisions will remain in full force and
effect. Landlord's rights and remedies are cumulative and not exclusive. This
Lease is governed by the laws of Massachusetts applicable to transactions to be
performed wholly therein.
24.13 Expense; Consent. Unless otherwise provided in this Lease, a party's
obligation will be performed at that party's sole cost and expense, except when
Landlord is performing Tenant's obligations because of Tenant's default or
failure to perform or as otherwise permitted in this Lease. Except where it is
expressly provided that Landlord will not unreasonably withhold its consent or
approval or exercise its judgment reasonably, Landlord may grant or withhold its
consent or approval and exercise its judgment arbitrarily and in its sole and
absolute discretion and without dispute by
21
Tenant. In any dispute involving Landlord's withholding of consent or exercise
of judgement, the sole right and remedy of Tenant and its Affiliates is
declaratory relief (i.e., that such consent should be granted where Landlord has
agreed not to unreasonably withhold its consent) pursuant to arbitration in
Massachusetts conducted by the American Arbitration Association utilizing its
expedited arbitration procedures, and Tenant and its Affiliates waive all other
rights and remedies, including, without limitation, claims for damages.
24.14 Presumptions; Exhibits; Submission; Net Lease. This Lease will be
construed without regard to any presumption or other rule requiring construction
or interpretation against the party drafting the document. The titles to the
Articles and Sections of this Lease are not a part of this Lease and will have
no effect on its construction or interpretation. Whenever required by the
context of this Lease, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes
the singular, and the masculine, feminine and neuter genders each include the
others, and the word "person" includes individuals, corporations, partnerships
or other entities. All exhibits and riders attached to this Lease are
incorporated in this Lease by this reference, and if there is any conflict with
the rest of this Lease, the riders will control. The submission of this Lease to
Tenant or its broker, agent or attorney for review or signature is not an offer
to Tenant to lease the Premises or the grant of an option to lease to Premises.
This Lease will not be binding unless and until it is executed and delivered by
both Landlord and Tenant. This Lease is intended to be a completely "triple net"
lease, unless specifically otherwise provided in this Lease.
24.15 Cooperation. Tenant will, at its expense, cooperate with Landlord in
all respects in connection with this Lease, Landlord's ownership, operation,
management, improvement, maintenance and repair of the Project, and Landlord's
exercise of its rights and obligations under this Lease.
24.16 Notices. All notices, demands or communications required or permitted
under this Lease (the "Notices") will be in writing and personally (by hand or
recognized overnight courier) or electronically delivered, or sent by certified
mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Notices to Tenant will be
delivered to the address for Tenant in Section 1.1(j). Notices to Landlord will
be delivered to the addresses for Landlord in Section 1.1(k). Notices will be
effective on the earlier of: delivery; or, if mailed, three (3) days after they
are mailed in accordance with this Section.
24.17 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
24.18 Other Defined Terms.
(a) "Affiliates" means: partners, directors, officers, shareholders,
agents, employees, parents, subsidiaries, affiliated parties, invitees,
licensees, concessionaires, contractors, subcontractors, successors, assigns,
subtenants, and representatives. However, where Tenant under this Lease releases
Landlord's Affiliates from Liabilities, Tenant will not be deemed to have
released Landlord's contractors and subcontractors if such parties are
completely independent from Landlord and otherwise are not Affiliates of
Landlord.
(b) "cafeteria charges" means an amount payable by Tenant if and for
so long as Landlord causes or permits a cafeteria or food service facility to be
operated in the Project that is available for use by Tenant's employees.
Cafeteria Charges will be payable together with and as part of Operating Costs,
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Tenant's Percentage thereof will
be deemed to be Sixty Cents ($0.60) per annum per square foot of agreed rentable
area in the Premises, which annual amount per square foot will be increased at
the beginning of each calendar year during the term by two percent (2%) over the
previous scheduled annual amount per square foot. Tenant will have the right to
terminate its obligation to pay cafeteria charges effective as of the end of the
sixth (6) month after the Rent Commencement Date if it unconditionally notifies
Landlord in writing prior to that date. Otherwise, the cafeteria charges will
continue as described in the first two sentences above.
(c) "common areas" means the common areas of the Project not held for
lease by Landlord. Landlord reserves all rights in connection with the common
areas, including, without limitation, the right to alter the
22
common areas, provided that Tenant still will have access to the Premises, a
loading dock, and its allocated amount of parking, except during emergencies,
force majeure or while repairs or maintenance are being performed. Subject to
any non-exclusive rights to the extent specifically granted to Tenant in this
Lease, and without limiting any of Landlord's rights in this Lease, Landlord
reserves all rights to the interior of the walls, floors and ceilings in the
Premises and the rest of the Building, including, without limitation, the right
to install, remove, replace, or alter Systems and Equipment therein or thereon
as may be required for other leasable areas in the Building or otherwise,
provided that the exercise of such rights do not materially adversely affect
Tenant's use of the Systems and Equipment.
(d) "Laws" means: laws, codes, decisions, ordinances, rules,
regulations, licenses, permits, and directives of governmental and
quasi-governmental officers, including, without limitation, those relating to
building and safety, fire prevention, health, energy conservation, hazardous
substances and environmental protection.
(e) "Liabilities" means: all costs, damages, claims, injuries,
liabilities and judgments, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and
costs (whether or not suit is commenced or judgment entered).
(f) "Systems and Equipment" means: all HVAC, plumbing, mechanical,
electrical, lighting, water, gas, sewer, safety, sanitary and any other utility
or service facilities, systems and equipment, and all pipes, ducts, poles,
stacks, chases, conduits and wires.
25. HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.
Without limiting the generality of any portion of this Lease, Tenant and
its Affiliates will:
(a) Not store, handle, transport, use, process, generate, discharge or
dispose of any hazardous, toxic, corrosive, dangerous, explosive, flammable or
noxious substances, gasses or waste, whether now or hereafter defined under any
Laws or otherwise (collectively, "hazardous substances"), from, in or about the
Premises or the rest of the Project or create any release or threat of release
of any hazardous substances (except for diesel fuel for the existing backup
generators or their replacements, which will be stored by Tenant in a
commercially reasonable manner prescribed by Landlord and in any case in
accordance with applicable Laws, or small quantities of cleaning and office
supplies for normal office use or for cleaning or maintaining Tenant's computer
equipment, all in accordance with applicable Laws), nor permit any of the
foregoing to occur. If any of the foregoing occur, or if Landlord in good faith
believes that any of the foregoing have occurred or are likely to occur or that
Tenant and its Affiliates are not complying fully with the requirements of this
Article, in addition to any other rights and remedies of Landlord, Tenant and
its Affiliates immediately will cease the acts or omissions and in addition to
any other rights and remedies (all of which are cumulative), at Landlord's
request Tenant will take such actions as may be required by Laws and as Landlord
may direct to cure or prevent the problem. Tenant and its Affiliates will comply
fully with all Laws and insurance requirements in connection with or related to
hazardous substances, whether now or hereafter existing, including, without
limitation, CERCLA, XXXX, RCRA, TSCA, CWA, Chapter 21E of Massachusetts General
Laws and any other Laws promulgated by the EPA, OSHA or Commonwealth of
Massachusetts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant will be
solely responsible for complying with all applicable Laws in connection with the
existing chillers and their replacements, and the diesel fuel, the diesel
holding tanks and all associated Systems and Equipment for the existing backup
generators and chillers and their replacements.
(b) Immediately pay, and indemnify Landlord for and hold Landlord
harmless from, all Liabilities in connection with or arising directly or
indirectly from any breach by Tenant or its Affiliates of their obligations in
this Article, including, without limitation, the costs of any of the following,
whether required by Landlord, applicable Laws or insurance requirements or
otherwise: any "response actions" or "responses"; any surveys, "audits",
inspections, tests, reports or procedures deemed necessary or desirable by
Landlord or governmental or quasi-governmental authorities to determine the
existence or scope of any hazardous substances or Tenant's compliance with this
Article, and any actions recommended to be taken in connection therewith;
compliance with any applicable Laws and insurance requirements; any
requirements, directives or plans for the prevention, containment, processing,
storage, clean-up or disposal of hazardous substances; the release and discharge
of any resulting liens; and any other injury or damage. On the expiration or
earlier
23
termination of this Lease, Tenant will leave the Premises and the rest of the
Project free of hazardous substances that were stored, handled, transported,

violations, settlements or abatements.

material default under this Lease. All of Tenant's obligations under this
Article will survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

proceeding or other action: results in the entry of an order for relief against
it which is not fully stayed within seven (7) business days after the entry
thereof; or remains undismissed for a period of forty-five (45) days, then it
will be a default hereunder and this Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder
will automatically cease and terminate as if the date of such event were the
original expiration date of this Lease and Tenant will vacate and surrender the
Premises but will remain liable as herein provided.
23.3 Rights and Obligations Under the Bankruptcy Code.
(a) Upon the filing of a petition by or against Tenant under the
Bankruptcy Code, Tenant, as debtor and as debtor in possession, and any trustee
who may be appointed agree as follows: (i) to perform all obligations of Tenant
under this Lease, including, but not limited to, the covenants regarding the
operations and uses of the Premises until such time as this Lease is either
rejected or assumed by order of the United States Bankruptcy Court; (ii) to pay
monthly in advance on the first day of each month as reasonable compensation for
use and occupancy of the Premises an amount equal to all base rent and other
rent otherwise due pursuant to this Lease; (iii) to reject or assume this Lease
1
within sixty (60) days of the filing of a petition under any Chapter of the

days prior written notice of any proceeding relating to any assumption of this
Lease; (v) to give at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any

appropriate United States Bankruptcy Court providing all of the above, waiving
notice and hearing of the entry of same.
(b) No default under this Lease by Tenant, either prior to or
subsequent to the filing of such petition, will be deemed to have been waived
unless expressly done so in writing by Landlord.
(c) Included within and in addition to any other conditions or
obligations imposed upon Tenant or its successor in the event of assumption
and/or assignment are the following: (i) the cure of any monetary defaults and
the reimbursement of pecuniary loss by the time of the entry of the order

debtor); (ii) the deposit of an additional sum equal to three (3) months' base
rent; (iii) the use of the Premises only as set forth in this Lease; (iv) the

EXHIBIT "G"
SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENTS
1
RIDER #1
EXTENSION OPTIONS
1. Landlord grants to Tenant two (2) options to extend the Lease term
for an additional term of five (5) years each. Each Extension Option can be
exercised only by Tenant delivering to Landlord unconditional written notice of
exercise at least eighteen (18) calendar months before the expiration of the
applicable term. If for any reason Landlord does not actually receive a notice
of exercise when required for one of the Extension Options, that Extension
Option and any subsequent Extension Option will lapse and become null and void
and there will be no further right to extend the Lease term. The Extension
Options are granted to and may be exercised by Tenant on the express condition
that, at the time of the exercise and at all times before the beginning of each
Extension Option period, Tenant is not in default (and has not committed acts or
omissions which would constitute a default with the passage of time or the
giving of notice or both). TIME IS ABSOLUTELY OF THE ESSENCE. Landlord will not
be required to pay for or perform any work to or for the Premises.
2. The Extension Options are personal to the Tenant originally named
in this Lease, and may not be exercised by or for anyone else. If during the
initial term or any Extension Option period Tenant Transfers any part of this
Lease or the Premises (except for subleases that all together aggregate less
than fifty percent (50%) of the rentable area of the Building when made), at
Landlord's written election the Extension Options will lapse and become null and
void, whether or not they have been exercised.
3. The annual base rent per square foot of rentable area for each year
of each Extension Option term will be the greater of: (a) the scheduled base
rent as set forth in Exhibit "D"; or (b) the "fair rental value" determined in
accordance with Section 4 of this Rider #1.
4. (a) If Landlord and Tenant can't agree on the annual base rent for
each year of each Extension Option term at least six (6) months before the
beginning of that Extension Option term, then unless otherwise agreed in writing
by Landlord and Tenant, Landlord and Tenant will try to agree on a single
appraiser at least five (5) months before the beginning of that Extension Option
term. If they can agree on a single appraiser in that time period then that
appraiser will determine the fair rental value in accordance with this Rider. If
Landlord and Tenant can't agree on a single appraiser within this time period,
then Landlord and Tenant each will appoint in writing one appraiser not later
than four (4) months before the beginning of that Extension Option term. Within
fifteen (15) days after their appointment, the two appointed appraisers will
appoint in writing a third appraiser. If the two appraisers can't agree, a third
appraiser will be appointed by the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers
(or if this organization refuses to act or no longer exists, by an organization
deemed by Landlord to be reasonably equivalent thereto) not later than three (3)
months before the beginning of that Extension Option term. If either Landlord or
Tenant fails to appoint its appraiser within the prescribed time period, the
single appraiser appointed will determine the fair rental value. If both parties
fail to appoint appraisers within the prescribed time periods, then the first
appraiser validly appointed by a party will determine the fair rental value.
Appraisers must have at least five (5) years' experience in the appraisal of
office property in the area in which the Building is located and be members of
professional organizations such as the American Institute of Real Estate
Appraisers or the equivalent. The appraiser(s) will be required to provide a
written determination of the fair rental value not later than two (2) months
before the beginning of that Extension Option term.
(b) For the purpose of this Lease, the term "fair rental value"
means: the annual base rent per square foot of rentable area that a ready and
willing tenant would pay for the Premises during the applicable Extension Option
term to a ready and willing landlord of that space assuming that such space was
exposed for lease on the open market for a reasonable period of time, could be
used for any lawful use and was improved to its then-existing level, and that a
market-rate construction allowance was offered to and received by such
hypothetical tenant (even though such construction allowance will not actually
be paid or provided to Tenant). If only a single appraiser is appointed as
described above, then that appraiser will determine the fair rental value.
Otherwise, the fair rental value will be the arithmetic average of the two (2)
of the three (3) appraisals which are closest in amount, and the third appraisal
will be
1
disregarded.
(c) If for some reason the fair rental value is not determined
before the beginning of the applicable Extension Option term, then Tenant will
continue to pay to Landlord the base rent applicable to that space as described
in Section 3(a) above, as applicable, until the fair rental value is determined.
When the fair rental value is determined, Landlord will notify Tenant, and
Tenant will pay to Landlord, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such
notice, any difference between the base rent actually paid by Tenant to Landlord
and the new base rent determined hereunder (if the new base rent is higher).

RIDER #2
Miscellaneous Changes
This Rider #2 changes, supplements and modifies certain provisions of this
Lease, and if there is any conflict between this Rider #2 and the rest of this
Lease, this Rider will control.
A. In Section 3, Tenant's Moveable Property will include, and Non-Removed
Property will not include, Tenant's network switchgear and associated cabling.
B. In Section 13.5, Tenant and its Affiliates will be granted both internal
and external access to the rooftop for the purposes described in Section 13.5
subject to Landlord's reasonable rules and regulations as to access and the
other terms of that Section and the rest of this Lease, and provided further
that Tenant will indemnify Landlord and its Affiliates for all damage and other
Liabilities resulting therefrom.
C. The reference in Section 24.2(b) should properly be to "MDF Rooms" and not
"MBF Rooms," and references to "MBF Rooms" on Exhibit A-1 to this Lease actually
mean and refer to the "MDF Rooms."
D. In Section 24.2(b), if any other tenants or occupants of the Project other
than Landlord or its designees wish to enter the MDF Rooms, except in
emergencies they will have the right to enter the MDF Rooms through the Premises
only on at least twenty four (24) hours prior notice to Tenant. If Tenant makes
a representative available after such notice, those other tenants or occupants
will enter accompanied by such a representative, and in such cases they will
comply with security procedures of Tenant, provided that they do not
unreasonably interfere with the exercise of the rights of those other tenants or
occupants.
E. In Section 24.2(b), if Landlord does not provide a security guard to staff
the reception desk in the Lobby Area, but Tenant does supply such a security
guard, then Landlord will charge any other tenants of the Project their pro-rata
share of the actual, reasonable and customary costs of that security guard
during the terms of their respective leases, and to the extent paid by those
other tenants, Landlord will reimburse those costs to Tenant. The pro-rata share
to be paid by those other tenants will be based on the rentable area in the
Project leased by those other tenants.
F. In Paragraph 9 of the Rules and Regulations attached as Exhibit "E" to this
Lease, the following will be added at the end of the first sentence: "(except
for chemicals or vapors used for the existing dry-suppression life safety system
in the Building, which will be permitted provided that Tenant uses them in a
commercially reasonable and customary manner and complies with all applicable
Laws in connection therewith)."
