(b) Tenant shall have, as an appurtenance to the Premises, rights to use in common with others, subject to reasonable rules and regulations established from time-to-time by Landlord of which Tenant is given notice: (1) the common lobbies, hallways, stairways, loading docks and bays, and elevators of the Building; (2) common walkways necessary for access to the Building; and (3) if the Premises consist of less than the entire rentable area of any floor, the common toilets and other common facilities in the central core area of such floor.
(c) Landlord reserves the right from time-to-time the following rights: (1) to install, use, maintain, repair, replace and relocate for service to the Premises and/or other parts of the Building the areas within the Premises above the dropped ceiling and below the floor for pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, (2) to alter or relocate any other common facility, (3) to make any repairs and replacements to the Premises which Landlord is obligated to perform, and (4) in connection with any excavation made upon adjacent land of Landlord or others, to enter and to permit others to enter, upon the Premises to do such work as the person causing such excavation deems necessary to preserve the walls of the Building from injury or damage and to support the same.
(d) In connection with the exercise of the foregoing rights of access (excepting routine access such as access for providing cleaning, repair or maintenance services, or other usual and customary services) Landlord shall provide Tenant notice pursuant to Section 6.1.6 and exercise reasonable efforts (i) to minimize interference with the usual and customary operations of the Tenant in the Premises in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, and (ii) to cause any construction work performed in the Premises to be performed in a workmanlike manner.
(e) As an appurtenance to the Premises, during the term, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1(e), Tenant shall receive four (4) parking passes for use in the Boston Harbor Garage.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time during the Term such parking passes are not available in the Boston Harbor Garage, then in lieu thereof Landlord shall provide Tenant with four (4) parking passes for use at a comparable parking garage located within a four (4) block radius of the Building, and Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the rate established by the operator of such garage from time to time for such parking passes.
-6-
(f) Tenant shall have, as an appurtenance to the Premises, subject to reasonable rules and regulations established from time-to-time by Landlord and notice of which is provided to Tenant, the right to install, operate, and maintain an antenna, satellite dish or similar telecommunication equipment on the roof of the Building, together with lines and cables connecting such equipment in the existing risers of the Building (collectively, the “Rooftop Equipment”). All Rooftop Equipment (including, the size, location, weight and manner of attachment thereof) and any penetrations of, or changes, alterations or other improvements on or to the roof of the Building, shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord in each instance, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall be solely and exclusively responsible for all costs, expenses and charges, of every kind, of installing, operating, maintaining, repairing, replacing, and removing the Rooftop Equipment and Landlord shall have no liability or obligation in connection therewith. If, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, any electrical, electromagnetic, radio frequency or other interference shall result from the operation of any of the Rooftop Equipment, and such interference has not been corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of Landlord within thirty (30) days after notice thereof to Tenant (which notice shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed technical analysis as to the basis of Landlord’s judgment), then Landlord may require that Tenant immediately remove from the specific item of equipment causing such interference. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, and at its sole risk, install, operate and maintain the Rooftop Equipment in a good and workmanlike manner, and in compliance with all electric, communication, and safety codes, ordinances, standards, regulations and requirements, now in effect or hereafter promulgated, including those established by the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”), the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) or any successor agency of either the FCC or FAA, the City of Boston, and the rules and regulations adopted in FCC document OET 65 (which rules and regulations have also been adopted by OSHA).

Neither Landlord nor its agents shall have any responsibility or liability for the conduct or safety of any of Tenant’s representatives, repair, maintenance and engineering personnel while in or on any part of the roof area. Tenant shall have no right of access to the roof of the Building unless Tenant has given Landlord reasonable advance notice and unless Tenant’s representatives are accompanied by a representative of Landlord. Landlord will make a representative available to Tenant (i) during Ordinary Business Hours upon reasonable advance notice and (ii) during emergencies, as soon as practicable (taking into account the circumstances) after receipt of a request from Tenant. At the expiration or prior termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove all of the Rooftop Equipment (including all cables and conduits
-7-
installed in connection therewith) and shall be responsible for the cost of repairing any damage to the Building caused by the installation or the removal of the Rooftop Equipment. Landlord shall have the right, upon thirty (30) days notice to Tenant, relocate the Rooftop Equipment to another area on the roof of the Building equally suitable for Tenant’s use. In such event, Landlord may, at its sole cost and expense, relocate the Rooftop Equipment.
2.2 | Term. The Term shall begin on the Commencement Date and shall continue to the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the effectiveness of such dates, upon request of either party, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and deliver a Commencement Date Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, confirming the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date. |
ARTICLE 3
Condition of Premises; Tenant’s Work
3.1 | Condition of Premises. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date free of all tenants and occupants and otherwise in compliance with this Lease. Tenant has inspected the Premises and agrees (a) to accept possession of the Premises in the condition existing as of the Commencement Date, in “as is” condition, (b) that neither Landlord nor any of Landlord’s agents have made any representations or warranties with respect to the Premises or the Building, and (c) Landlord has no obligation to perform any work, supply any materials, incur any expense or make any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy. Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, in accordance with and subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease, perform or cause to be performed any and all work necessary to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s initial occupancy (“Tenant’s Work”). The Building is equipped with telecommunications systems for RCN and Verizon. Landlord shall provide Tenant and/or Tenant’s telecommunications companies with the access to the existing conduits and chases of the Building for the installation and operation of Tenant’s telecommunication systems, including but not limited to voice, video, data and other telecommunications services; provided, however, that any such access, installation and operation shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval in each case, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Tenant’s occupancy of any part of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence, that Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises in its then-current condition, and that at the time such possession was taken, the Premises and the Building were in a good and satisfactory condition as required by this Lease. |
3.2 | Landlord’s Work. [Intentionally Deleted] |
3.3 | Plans and Specifications. (a) If Tenant elects, in its sole discretion, to perform any Tenant’s Work, then Tenant shall prepare, at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, and furnish to Landlord for its approval, architectural, mechanical, |
-8-
electrical, plumbing, fire protection and structural engineering schematic design documents, design development documents and final construction documents for the Tenant’s Work (such documentation and the constituent items thereof are referred to herein collectively and respectively as the “Proposed Documents”; and the Proposed Documents, after approval by Landlord are referred to herein as the “Construction Documents”). Tenant will submit to Landlord and Landlord’s architect (i) four (4) sets of paper versions of the Construction Documents, and (ii) electronic versions of the Construction Documents in AutoCad (dwg) format prepared by Tenant’s Architect. The Tenant’s Work shall be performed in accordance with the Construction Documents and the “Standard Tenant Fit-Out Specifications for 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx” attached hereto as Exhibit F and incorporated herein by this reference (as the same may be updated, amended, modified and supplemented by Landlord from time-to-time, the “Standard Tenant Fit-Out Specifications”). There shall be no requirement for Tenant to use any particular building standard materials or items; however, the Tenant’s Work shall be first-class in all respects and shall be consistent with and complementary to the first-class standards of the Building. Tenant shall cause Tenant’s Architect to perform all architectural services typically and reasonably required under typical construction contracts for similar leasehold improvements. Such services shall include, without limitation, all certifications typically and reasonably required to be provided by the architect for similar leasehold improvements. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the cost of all architectural and engineering services required for the Tenant’s Work. The Construction Documents for Tenant’s Work shall comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and regulations (including, without limitation, the applicable requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended from time to time, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “ADA”)) and shall be in a form satisfactory to appropriate governmental authorities responsible for issuing the permits, approvals and licenses required for construction of Tenant’s Work. Tenant’s interior furnishings (i.e., specifications, coordination, supply and installation of furniture, furnishings, telephone and moveable equipment and security systems and equipment) will be the responsibility of Tenant. Tenant will be responsible for obtaining all permits and approvals for the Tenant’s Work, including, without limitation, a building permit and all applicable electrical and plumbing permits from the City of Boston Department of Inspectional Services. |
(b) All requests for amendments, changes, change orders, or alterations to the Construction Documents (each, a “Change Order”) shall require Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned and shall be given within the timeframe set forth below (it being understood that any denial shall state Landlord’s objections with specificity so that they may be addressed by Tenant). Landlord’s approval process for a requested Change Order will also include review of Tenant’s fire protection design by Factory Mutual Global representing Landlord’s insurance underwriter. Landlord will give Tenant notice (a “Landlord Plan Notice”) of any objections it may have with respect to any requested Change Order within five (5) business days after receipt by Landlord and Landlord’s Architect of four (4) sets of paper versions of the
-9-
applicable Construction Documents affected by such Change Order and an electronic version of such Construction Documents. Landlord shall not be deemed unreasonable for withholding approval of any such Change Order which (i) involve or are reasonably anticipated to affect any structural or exterior element of the Building or any portion thereof, (ii) are anticipated to, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, materially adversely affect the value of the Building or any portion thereof, (iii) are reasonably anticipated to materially adversely affect the proper functioning of the building systems or other facilities, (iv) will materially increase the cost of construction or insurance on the Building or any portion thereof, or may materially increase the Operating Costs or Taxes, or (v) do not incorporate any changes requested by Factory Mutual Global and contained in the Landlord Plan Notice. Concurrently with its review of proposed Change Orders, Landlord will notify Tenant as to which of the proposed installations and improvements shown on the applicable Change Order constitute Specialty Alterations (as defined in Section 1.3) which Tenant will be required to remove at the expiration of the Term.
(c) Tenant shall cause the Change Order and any affected Construction Documents to be revised in a manner sufficient to remedy Landlord’s objections and/or respond to Landlord’s concerns and to be redelivered to Landlord as soon as reasonably possible after Tenant is given a Landlord Plan Notice. Tenant shall exercise diligent efforts to revise the applicable Construction Documents to address the objections contained in each Landlord Plan Notice.
(d) Landlord’s approval of any plans and specifications with respect to Tenant’s Work furnished to and approved by Landlord, or of any changes thereto, shall in no way be deemed an agreement by Landlord that the work contemplated therein fulfills the requirements of Section 3.3(a) hereof. Tenant shall be responsible for the design of the Tenant’s Work.
3.4 | Performance of TIW; Tenant’s Contractor. Tenant agrees to employ for the Tenant’s Work a responsible general contractor approved by Landlord, which general contractor shall (1) employ and hire subcontractors who employ union labor to do all union trade work, (2) employ and hire subcontractors who employ labor which will work without interference with other labor working in the Building for any work that is not union trade work, and (3) obtain and maintain the insurance required by Section 6.2.5 of this Lease. Tenant shall submit certificates evidencing such insurance coverage to Landlord prior to the commencement of the Tenant’s Work. Tenant shall obtain all necessary governmental licenses, approvals and permits therefor and deliver to Landlord the statements and insurance certificates required hereunder and under 6.2.5 of this Lease on or before the commencement of the Tenant’s Work. Promptly thereafter (subject to delays to the extent caused by Force Majeure Events, provided that tenant uses diligent efforts to minimize the duration and extent of the affect of such Force Majeure Event), Tenant shall commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Tenant’s Work in accordance with the Construction Documents in a good and workmanlike manner employing materials of good quality and in |

3.5 | Mechanic’s Liens. Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Landlord from and against any liabilities and/or obligations for any and all liens or encumbrances filed against the Property or any part thereof or interest therein arising out of or resulting from the Tenant’s Work or any other work performed by Tenant under this Lease. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure the discharge of all such liens and encumbrances within ten (10) days after the filing of any such lien or encumbrance against the Premises and/or the Property or any part thereof. If Tenant shall fail to cause any such lien or encumbrance to be discharged within such ten (10) day period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by deposit or bonding proceedings, and in any such event Landlord shall be entitled, if it elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien and to pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lien with interest, costs and allowances. Without limiting the foregoing, any amount so paid by Landlord, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, shall constitute Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand. |

-11-
4.2 | Additional Rent. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay the following, as Additional Rent: |
4.2.1 | Real Estate Taxes. (a) If for any Tax Year during the Term the Taxes exceed Base Taxes then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for Tenant’s Percentage of such excess. The Additional Rent payable by Tenant under the preceding two sentences is referred to herein collectively as the “Tax Excess.” Tenant shall remit to Landlord, on the first day of each calendar month, estimated payments on account of Tax Excess, such monthly amounts to be sufficient to provide Landlord, by the time real estate tax payments are due and payable to any governmental authority responsible for collection of same, a sum equal to the Tax Excess, as reasonably estimated by Landlord from time-to-time on the basis of the most recent tax data available. If the total of such monthly payments for any Tax Year is greater than the actual Tax Excess for such Tax Year, then promptly after the expiration of such Tax Year and the determination of the actual amount of Tax Excess for such Tax Year, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, or credit against the next accruing payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.1, the difference; if the total of such payments is less than the actual Tax Excess for such Tax Year, then Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord not more than ten (10) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant an itemized statement of the Tax Excess. |
(b) If, after Tenant shall have made reimbursement to Landlord pursuant to this subsection 4.2.1, Landlord shall receive a refund of any portion of Taxes paid by Tenant with respect to any Tax Year during the Term hereof, whether as a result of an abatement of such Taxes by legal proceedings, settlement or otherwise (without Landlord having any obligation to undertake any such proceedings), Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant, or credit against the next accruing payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.1, the Tenant’s Percentage of the refund (less the proportional pro rata expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and appraisers’ fees, incurred in connection with obtaining any such refund.
(c) If the Term of this Lease shall commence, or shall end (by reason of expiration of the Term or earlier termination pursuant to the provisions hereof), on any date other than the first or last day of the Tax Year, or should the Tax Year or period of assessment of real estate taxes be changed or be more or less than one (1) year, as the case may be, then the amount of Tax Excess payable by Tenant for such year shall be appropriately apportioned on the basis of daily prorations and adjusted accordingly.
-12-
(d) The term “Taxes” shall mean all ad valorem real estate and personal property taxes, assessments, betterments and other charges and impositions (including, but not limited to, fire protection service fees and similar charges) levied, assessed or imposed at any time and from time-to-time during the Term by any governmental authority upon or against the Property and/or any part thereof, or taxes in lieu thereof, and in the case of personal property taxes, those taxes payable with respect to personal property located at and used in connection with the maintenance and operation of the Property. “Taxes” shall also include all taxes and payments assessed, levied, imposed or otherwise payable in lieu of the foregoing, all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred in contesting any of the foregoing, and all other additional types of taxes assessments, levies, impositions, fees and charges however described or imposed upon the Property and/or the Landlord with respect to the Property. If, at any time during the term of this Lease, any tax or excise on rents or other taxes, however described, are levied or assessed against Landlord with respect to the Rent reserved hereunder and/or the ownership of the Property, either wholly or partially in substitution for, or in addition to, ad valorem real estate taxes assessed or levied on the Property and/or any part thereof, such tax or excise on rents shall be included in Taxes; provided however, Taxes shall not include franchise, estate, inheritance, succession, capital levy, transfer, net income or excess profits taxes assessed on Landlord. Taxes shall include any estimated payment made by Landlord on account of a fiscal tax period for which the actual and final amount of taxes for such period has not been determined by the governmental authority as of the date of any such estimated payment.
4.2.2 | Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all taxes, assessments, betterments and other charges and impositions charged, assessed or imposed upon the personal property, fixtures and equipment of Tenant in or upon the Premises prior to the due date thereof. |
4.2.3 | Operating Costs. (a) If for any calendar year during the Term the Operating Costs exceed the Base Operating Costs, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for Tenant’s Percentage of such excess (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Operating Costs Excess”). Tenant shall remit to Landlord, on the first day of each calendar month, estimated payments on account of Operating Costs Excess, in monthly amounts reasonably estimated by Landlord from time-to-time to be sufficient to provide Landlord, by the end of the calendar year, a sum equal to the Operating Costs Excess for such calendar year. If, at the expiration of any respective calendar year the total of such monthly payments made by Tenant is greater than the actual Operating Costs Excess for such year, then promptly after the expiration of such calendar year and the determination of the actual amount of Operating Costs Excess, Landlord shall pay to Tenant or credit against the next accruing payments to be made by Tenant pursuant to this subsection 4.2.3, the difference; if the total of such payments is less than the Operating Costs Excess for such year, then Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord within not more than thirty (30) days after the date Landlord furnishes to Tenant an itemized statement of the Operating Costs Excess. Landlord shall |
-13-
deliver the annual statement of actual Operating Costs Excess not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of the respective calendar year. Any reimbursement for Operating Costs due and payable by Tenant with respect to periods of less than twelve (12) months shall be equitably prorated. |
(b) The term “Operating Costs” shall mean all costs or expenses of every kind and nature paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the operation, cleaning, management, maintenance, repair and upkeep of the Property, including, without limitation, all costs of maintaining and repairing the Property (including snow removal, security, operation and repair of heating and air-conditioning equipment, elevators, lighting and any other building equipment or systems) and of all repairs and replacements (other than repairs or replacements for which Landlord has received full reimbursement from contractors, other tenants of the Building or from others) required or desirable in order to keep the Property in good working order, repair, appearance and condition; all costs, including material and equipment costs, for cleaning and janitorial services to the Building (including window cleaning of the Building); all premiums and costs of insurance carried by Landlord relating to the Property; all costs related to provision of heat (including oil, electric, steam and/or gas), air-conditioning, ventilation, and water (including sewer charges) and other utilities to the Building (exclusive of reimbursement to Landlord for any of same received as a result of direct billing to any tenant); payments under all service contracts relating to the foregoing; all compensation, fringe benefits, payroll taxes and worker’s compensation insurance premiums related thereto with respect to any employees (but not above the grade of general manager) of Landlord or its affiliates or manager engaged in security and maintenance of the Property; attorneys’ fees and disbursements (exclusive of any such fees and disbursements incurred in tax abatement proceedings or the preparation of leases or disputes with tenants) and auditing and other professional fees and expenses; shuttle services; management fees not in excess of 3% of gross rent receipts for the Building for the applicable year; fire protection service fees and similar governmental charges not included in Taxes; and the portion fairly allocable to the Property of any and all of the foregoing costs incurred with regard to the operation, maintenance and repair of any facilities shared by the Property with any other properties.
(c) There shall not be included in such Operating Costs the following: (1) brokerage fees (including rental fees) related to the operation of the Building; (2) interest and depreciation charges incurred on the Property; (3) expenditures made by Tenant with respect to (a) cleaning, maintenance and upkeep of the Premises, or (b) the provision of electricity to the Premises; (4) any ground lease rent; (5) costs of leasing space, including advertising and leasing commissions; (6) costs of services provided by affiliates of Landlord (other than the management fees set forth above) to the extent such costs exceed market competitive costs for such services for owner managed buildings; (7) Capital Expenditures (as hereinafter defined) which are required in order to cause the Building to comply with Requirements that are effective and applied to the Building (whether through adoption, promulgation, application, interpretation or otherwise) as of the date of
-14-
this Lease and rent for items which if purchased, rather than rented, would not be includable in Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 4.2.3(d); (8) bad debt expenses and payments of principal, interest or mortgage charges, or other costs of financing or refinancing or brokerage commissions, or the costs of selling, syndicating, financing, mortgaging or hypothecating Landlord’s interest in the Property, or the costs of defending any lawsuits with mortgagees; (9) the cost of repairs or other work caused by any insured casualty or the exercise of the right of eminent domain, to the extent the Landlord is reimbursed by insurance awards, rebates or condemnation proceeds; (10) leasing commissions, brokerage fees, legal fees, advertising costs and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with negotiations or disputes with other tenants or occupants, or prospective tenants or occupants; (11) the costs of renovating or otherwise improving, decorating, painting or redecorating premises for other tenants or other occupants of the Building; (12) any fines or penalties incurred by Landlord as a result of a violation by Landlord of applicable laws or governmental rule or authority; (13) costs of installing sculpture, paintings or other objects of art in common areas, except to the extent required to maintain the Building in first-class condition; (14) wages, salaries or other compensation paid to any executive employees above the grade of general manager, except that if any such employee performs a service which would have been performed by an outside consultant, the compensation paid to such employee for performing such service shall be included in Operating Costs; (15) costs or fees relating to the defense of the title or interest of Landlord in the Property; (16) income, excess profits, franchise taxes or other taxes assessed on the income of the Landlord from the Property; (17) costs of maintaining the legal entity constituting the Landlord; (18) costs of the charitable or political contributions of the Landlord; (19) costs incurred by Landlord to the extent that Landlord is reimbursed by third parties; (20) third-party management fees in excess of the percentage set forth in Section 4.2.3(b) and management fees paid or charged by affiliates of Landlord in excess of 3% of gross rent receipts; or (21) fines, penalties or interest to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents or employees.
(d) If, during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall replace any capital items or make any capital expenditures for the Property (collectively, “Capital Expenditures”), then the “annual charge-off” of such Capital Expenditure shall be included in Operating Costs for each calendar year in which such Capital Expenditure is made, and for each subsequent calendar year only if (i) the Capital Expenditure is reasonably intended to effect savings in Operating Costs, or (ii) is made to comply with a Requirement which becomes effective (whether through adoption, promulgation, application, interpretation, or otherwise) after the date of this Lease. The “annual charge-off” shall be determined by (i) dividing the original cost of the Capital Expenditure by the number of years of useful life thereof (which useful life shall be determined by Landlord in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices in effect at the time of acquisition of the capital item or making of a capital expenditure); and (ii) adding to such quotient an interest factor computed on the unamortized balance of such Capital Expenditure based upon an interest rate reasonably determined by
-15-
Landlord as being the interest rate then being charged for long-term mortgages by institutional lenders on similar properties within the locality in which the Building is located; provided, however, if Landlord reasonably concludes on the basis of engineering estimates that such Capital Expenditure will effect savings in Operating Costs and that such annual projected savings will exceed the annual charge-off of such Capital Expenditure computed as aforesaid, then the annual charge-off shall be determined by (i) dividing the original cost of such Capital Expenditure by the number of years over which the projected amount of such savings shall fully amortize the cost of such Capital Expenditure; and (ii) by adding the interest factor, as aforesaid.
(e) If during all or any portion of any year for which Operating Costs are being computed, less than 95% of the rentable area of the Building is occupied by tenants, or Landlord does not furnish any particular item(s) of work or service (which would otherwise constitute an Operating Cost) to any leasable areas of the Building, then for purposes of calculating Operating Costs for such year, the actual Operating Costs incurred for such year or portion thereof shall be reasonably extrapolated by Landlord to be the estimated Operating Costs that would have been incurred if 95% of the rentable area of the Building had been occupied by tenants and such item(s) of work and services were being supplied to tenants occupying 95% of the rentable area of the Building, and for the purposes of this Section 4.2.3, such extrapolated amount shall be deemed to be the Operating Costs for such year or portion thereof.
(f) Each statement of Operating Costs delivered to Tenant shall constitute an account stated between Landlord and Tenant and shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant, unless Tenant (i) pays to Landlord when due the amount set forth in such statement, without prejudice to Tenant’s right to dispute such statement, and (ii) within one hundred eighty (180) days after such statement is sent, sends a written notice to Landlord objecting to such statement and specifying the reasons therefor, in which event, upon request, Tenant may, at its sole cost and expense, audit the books and records pertaining to the Operating Costs for the subject year. Said audit shall be performed either (i) at a mutually satisfactory time at Landlord’s offices in Boston, Massachusetts, or (ii) after physical or electronic delivery to Tenant of the relevant documents. Tenant agrees that Tenant will not employ, in connection with any such audit or any dispute under this Lease, any person or entity who is to be compensated in whole or in part, on a contingency fee basis. In connection with any such audit, Tenant, such accountants and all consultants and agents of Tenant shall keep all information confidential and shall execute and deliver to Landlord a commercially reasonable and mutually acceptable confidentiality agreement, whereby such parties agree not to disclose to any third party any of the information obtained in connection with such audit. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses relating to such audit, unless it is conclusively determined that Landlord overstated Operating Costs by more than 5% for such year, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant in such audit.
-16-
4.2.4 | Insurance. Tenant shall, at its cost and expense, obtain and maintain throughout the Term, the following insurance protecting Landlord and all Landlord Affiliates, as requested by Landlord from time-to-time: |
4.2.4.1 | Commercial general liability insurance, in the broadest and most comprehensive form generally available from time-to-time, naming Tenant as insured, and Landlord, Landlord’s managing agent, the Landlord Affiliates (of which Tenant has been given notice), and any mortgagee of which Tenant has been given notice as additional insureds, and indemnifying the parties so named on an occurrence basis against all claims and demands for death or any injury to persons or damage to property which may be claimed to have occurred on the Premises (or the Property, insofar as used by customers, employees, servants or invitees of the Tenant), in amounts which shall, at the beginning of the Term, be at least equal to the limits set forth in Section 1.1, and, which, from time to time during the Term, shall be for such higher limits, if any, as Landlord determines in its reasonable discretion as are customarily carried in the area in which the Premises are located on property similar to the Premises and used for similar purposes. |
4.2.4.2 | Insurance against loss or damage by fire, and such other risks and hazards as are insurable under then available standard forms of “all risk” property insurance policies with extended coverage, insuring all of Tenant’s furniture, furnishings, fixtures, and equipment, for the full insurable value thereof or replacement cost value thereof, having a deductible amount, if any, of not greater than $25,000.00 per annum; |
4.2.4.3 | During the performance of any Alterations (including the Tenant’s Work), until completion thereof, builder’s risk insurance on an “all risk” basis and on a completed value form, for full replacement value covering the interests of Landlord and Tenant (and their respective contractors and subcontractors), any superior mortgagee and any superior lessor in all work incorporated in the Building and all materials and equipment in or about the Premises; |
4.2.4.4 | Workers’ compensation insurance, in amounts and with coverages as required by law; |
4.2.4.5 | Business interruption insurance, which may be included within a blanket limit covering multiple office locations including the Premises, in commercially reasonable amounts; and |
4.2.4.6 | Such other insurance, in such amounts and with such coverages as Landlord may reasonably require from time to time, provided that such coverages are consistent with coverages then customarily being required by other landlords of comparable buildings in Boston, Massachusetts. |
-17-
4.2.4.7 | All such policies shall be obtained from insurance companies with A.M. Best ratings of “A-” or better, Class VIII or larger, and with S&P ratings of “AA” or better. All such insurance companies shall be qualified to do business and in good standing in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. All such insurance companies and the amount of insurance allocated thereto shall be subject to Landlord’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with certificates evidencing all such insurance prior to the beginning of the Term hereof and evidencing renewal thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any such policy. Each such policy shall be non-cancelable with respect to the interest of Landlord without at least ten (10) days prior written notice thereto. In the event provision for any such insurance is to be by a blanket insurance policy, the policy shall allocate a specific and sufficient amount of coverage to the Premises. |
4.2.4.8 | All insurance which is carried by either party with respect to the Building, the Premises or furniture, furnishings, fixtures, or equipment therein or alterations or improvements thereto, whether or not required, shall include provisions which either designate the other party as one of the insured or deny to the insurer acquisition by subrogation of rights of recovery against the other party to the extent such rights have been waived by the insured party prior to occurrence of loss or injury. In the event that extra premium is payable by either party as a result of this provision, the other party shall reimburse the party paying such premium the amount of such extra premium. If at the request of one party, this non-subrogation provision is waived, then the obligation of reimbursement shall cease for such period of time as such waiver shall be effective, but nothing contained in this subsection shall derogate from or otherwise affect releases elsewhere herein contained of either party for claims. Each party shall be entitled to have certificates of any policies containing such provisions. Each party hereby waives all rights of recovery against the other for loss or injury against which the waiving party is protected by insurance containing such provisions, reserving, however, any rights with respect to any excess of loss or injury over the amount covered by such insurance. Tenant shall not acquire as insured under any insurance carried by or on behalf of the Landlord with respect to the Premises any right to participate in the adjustment of loss or to receive insurance proceeds and agrees upon request promptly to endorse and deliver to Landlord any checks or other instruments in payment of loss in which Tenant is named as payee. |
4.2.5 | Utilities.

Tenant shall also pay, to the appropriate third party, all charges for |
-18-
telephone and other utilities or services not supplied by Landlord pursuant to Sections 5.1, whether designated as a charge, tax, assessment, fee or otherwise, all such charges to be paid as the same from time to time become due. Except as otherwise provided in Article 5, it is understood and agreed that Tenant shall make its own arrangements for the installation or provision of all such utilities and that Landlord shall be under no obligation to furnish any utilities to the Premises and shall not be liable for any interruption or failure in the supply of any such utilities to the Premises. |
4.3 | Late Payment of Rent. If Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Rent more than two (2) days after the date that such Rent was due, and if on a prior occasion in the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding such date Tenant also failed to pay any installment of Rent more than two (2) days after the date that such Rent was due, then in addition to the outstanding amounts, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late payment fee equal to 5% percent of the overdue payment. |

From time to time upon the reasonable request of Tenant Landlord shall deliver to Tenant certificates evidencing all such insurance.

-21-
to obtain supplies, labor or materials, or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord ever be liable to Tenant for any lost profits, or for any indirect or consequential damages. No failure or omission on the part of the Landlord to furnish any of the services described in Section 5.1 shall be construed as an eviction of Tenant, actual or constructive, nor entitle Tenant to an abatement or reduction of, or offset against, Rent, nor render the Landlord liable in damages, nor release Tenant from prompt fulfillment of any of its obligations and covenants under this Lease. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Tenant is unable despite its good faith commercially diligent efforts to use the Premises for the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business due solely to (a) an interruption of an Essential Service (as hereinafter defined) which Landlord is required to provide hereunder, or (b) Landlord’s breach of an obligation under this Lease to perform repairs or replacements which results in Landlord’s failure to provide an Essential Service, in each case other than as a result of casualty or condemnation and subject to the provisions of Section 11.5, and such condition continues for a period of longer than ten (10) consecutive business days after Tenant furnishes a notice to Landlord (the “Abatement Notice”) identifying the condition and Essential Service which has been interrupted and stating that Tenant’s inability to use the Premises is solely due to such condition, provided that (i) Tenant does not actually use or occupy the Premises during such ten (10) consecutive Business Day period, (it being understood that entry by Tenant’s employees solely to retrieve files, data, laptops and other equipment shall not be deemed occupancy hereunder), and (ii) such condition has not resulted from the negligence or misconduct of Tenant or any Tenant Party, then Fixed Rent payable on account of the Premises shall be abated on a pro rata per diem basis for the period (the “Abatement Period”) commencing on the eleventh (11th) Business Day after Tenant delivers the Abatement Notice to Landlord and ending on the earlier of (x) the date Tenant reoccupies the Premises, or (y) the date on which such condition is substantially remedied. “Essential Service” shall mean the following services, but only to the extent that Landlord is required to provide such services to Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease and if not provided the absence of such service shall materially and adversely affect the use of the Premises for the ordinary conduct of Tenant’s business: HVAC service; electrical service; passenger elevator service; and water and sewer service. The foregoing rent abatement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Tenant on account of an interruption or lack of an Essential Service for ten (10) consecutive business days or longer after notice from Tenant as set forth in this Section 5.2, and Landlord shall have no further liabilities or obligations to Tenant on account thereof.
5.3 | Outside Services. If Tenant wishes to obtain “Outside Services” for the Premises, i.e. services in addition to, or in excess of, the services to be provided by Landlord as set forth herein, then Tenant shall first obtain the prior written approval of Landlord (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) for the installation and/or utilization of such Outside Services. For purposes of this |

Lease, “Outside Services” shall include, but shall not be limited to, cleaning services, television, so-called “canned music” services, security services, and the like. In the event Landlord approves the installation and/or utilization of such Outside Services, such installation and utilization shall be at Tenant’s sole cost, risk and expense, and Landlord shall have no obligations or liabilities in connection therewith. |
5.4 | Discontinuance of Electrical Service. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Article 5, Landlord reserves the right to discontinue furnishing electricity to Tenant in the Premises on not less than sixty (60) days notice to Tenant; provided, that, either (a) Landlord discontinues furnishing electricity to tenants (including Tenant) leasing an aggregate of at least 60% of the rentable area of the Building, or (b) Landlord is required to do so by the public utility or pursuant to applicable laws, codes, regulations, or requirements. If Landlord discontinues furnishing electricity to Tenant, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and shall be unaffected thereby, except that from and after the effective date of such discontinuance, Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish electricity to Tenant hereunder. If Landlord so discontinues furnishing electricity, then Tenant shall arrange to obtain electricity directly from a utility company serving the Building. All equipment that may be required to obtain electricity of substantially the same quantity, quality and character shall be installed by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of (a) Landlord, if Landlord voluntarily discontinues such service, or (b) Tenant, if Landlord is compelled to discontinue such service by the public utility or pursuant to applicable laws, codes, regulations, or requirements. Landlord shall not voluntarily discontinue furnishing electricity to Tenant until Tenant is able to receive electricity directly from a utility company servicing the Building, unless the utility company is not prepared to furnish electricity to the Premises on the date required as a result of Tenant’s delay or negligence in arranging for service or Tenant’s refusal to provide the utility company with a deposit or other security requested by the utility company, or Tenant’s refusal to take any other action reasonably requested by the utility company. |

6.1.3 | Repair and Maintenance. To maintain the Premises in first-class, good and neat order, condition and repair; to perform all routine and ordinary repairs to the Premises and to any plumbing, heating, electrical, ventilating and air-conditioning systems located within the Premises, in order to maintain such systems in good working order, appearance and condition, in all cases reasonable use and wear thereof and damage by fire or casualty only excepted; to keep all glass in windows and doors of the Premises (except glass in the exterior windows of the Building) whole and in good condition with glass of the same quality as that injured or broken; and to make all necessary repairs to the Premises and/or the Property arising out of or resulting from misuse or damage by, or neglect or improper conduct of, Tenant or Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, invitees or licensees or otherwise, damage by fire or casualty excepted. All repairs and replacements performed by Tenant shall be in quality and class equal to the original work. If Tenant fails to perform such obligations and the failure continues for thirty (30) days after delivery of prior notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency when such notice may be delivered concurrently), then Landlord may elect, at the expense of Tenant, to perform all such cleaning and maintenance, and to make any such repairs or to repair any damage or injury to the Premises and/or the Property caused by moving property of Tenant into or out of the Premises, or by the installation or removal of furniture or other property, or by misuse by, or neglect, or improper conduct of, Tenant or Tenant’s servants, employees, agents, contractors, customers, patrons, invitees, or licensees. |
6.1.4 | Compliance with Law. To make all repairs, alterations, additions or replacements to the Premises required by any law, code, ordinance, order, or regulation of any public or governmental authority; to keep the Premises equipped with all safety appliances so required; and to comply with the orders and regulations of all governmental authorities with respect to zoning, building, fire, health and other codes, regulations, ordinances or laws applicable to the Premises, except that Tenant may defer compliance so long as the validity of any such law, ordinance, order or regulations shall be contested by Tenant in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings, if Tenant first gives Landlord appropriate assurance or security against any loss, cost or expense on account thereof; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to make any structural Alterations or Alterations to the building systems unless the need for such Alterations arises out of or results from (i) the specific manner and nature of Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises, as distinguished from general office use, (ii) Alterations made by Tenant, or (iii) a breach by Tenant of any of the provisions of this Lease. Without limiting the foregoing, within the Premises, and with respect to all means of access and egress to and from the Premises (including all entrances and doorways), Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with the ADA. |
-24-
6.1.5 | Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and all Landlord Affiliates, and to exonerate, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and all Landlord Affiliates from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings, judgments, obligations, liabilities, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), and penalties (collectively, “Claims”) asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or public authority (i) arising out of or resulting from any injury, death, damage or loss to any person or property in or upon the Premises and/or the Property (or any part thereof), which Claims arise out of or result from the use or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or by any person claiming by, through or under Tenant (including, without limitation, all contractors, agents, patrons, employees, invitees, and customers of Tenant), or (ii) arising out of or resulting from (a) any delivery to or service supplied to the Premises other than services supplied by or on behalf of Landlord, or (b) anything whatsoever done on the Premises, excepting, in each case, only to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees. Without limiting the foregoing, if any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord and/or any Landlord Affiliates by reason of any such Claim, upon notice from Landlord and at Tenant’s expense, Tenant shall resist or defend all such actions or proceedings and employ counsel therefor reasonably satisfactory to and approved in advance by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. |
6.1.6 | Landlord’s Right to Enter. To permit Landlord and its agents to enter into and examine the Premises at reasonable times and to make repairs to the Premises and/or the Building, and during the last fifteen (15) months of the Term, to show the Premises and/or the Building. Landlord shall provide reasonable prior notice of such entry (which notice may be verbal), except in the event of emergencies when no such prior notice shall be required but notice shall be provided to Tenant as soon as reasonably practicable following such entry. Tenant shall provide Landlord with copies of keys and a means of access to Tenant’s security system as may be necessary for such entry by Landlord. |
6.1.7 | Personal Property at Tenant’s Risk. All of the furnishings, fixtures, equipment, effects and property of every kind, nature and description of Tenant and of all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant which, during the continuance of this Lease or any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, may be on the Premises, shall be at the sole risk and hazard of Tenant or such other person, excepting only to the extent such damage is caused by the negligence or misconduct of Landlord. If the whole or any part of such personal property shall be destroyed or damaged by fire, water or otherwise, or by the leakage or bursting of water pipes, steam pipes, or other pipes, or by theft or from any other cause, then to the maximum extent permitted by law, Landlord shall have no liabilities or obligations as a result thereof and no |
-25-
part of such loss or damage is to be charged to or to be borne by Landlord, excepting only to the extent such damage is caused by the negligence or misconduct of Landlord. |
6.1.8 | Payment of Landlord’s Costs of Enforcement. To pay on demand all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred from time-to-time by Landlord, in enforcing any obligation of Tenant under this Lease, or in curing any breach or default by Tenant under this Lease. |
6.1.9 | Yield Up. (a) To yield up and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord at the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease; to surrender all keys to the Premises; to remove all of its trade fixtures and personal property from the Premises; to remove all Tenant’s Telecommunications Equipment and wires and cables installed by or on behalf of Tenant; to remove such Specialty Alterations installed in the Premises after the Date of this Lease as Landlord may request in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1.9 and all Tenant’s signs wherever located; to repair all damage caused by such removal and to yield up the Premises (including all installations and improvements made by Tenant, except for trade fixtures and such of such installations or improvements as Landlord shall request Tenant to remove), broom-clean and in the same good order and repair in which Tenant is obliged to keep and maintain the Premises by the provisions of this Lease. Any property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned and, if Landlord so elects, deemed to be Landlord’s property, and may be retained or removed and disposed of by Landlord in such manner as Landlord shall determine. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the entire cost and expense incurred by it in effecting the removal and disposition of property which was required to be removed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease, and in making any repairs and replacements to the Premises after surrender thereof by Tenant. |
Without limiting the foregoing, concurrent with the review of the applicable Construction Documents in connection with a Change Order or, upon request of Tenant, concurrent with the review of other plans and specifications in connection with any Alterations, Landlord will notify Tenant as to which of the proposed installations and improvements constitute Specialty Alterations which Tenant will be required to remove at the expiration of the Term provided that Tenant shall include the following legend in capitalized and bold type displayed prominently on the top of the first page of Tenant’s notice delivered concurrently with such plans and specifications: “IF LANDLORD FAILS TO NOTIFY TENANT AT THE TIME LANDLORD APPROVES THESE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS THAT ANY ALTERATIONS SHOWN THEREON ARE SPECIALTY ALTERATIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE LEASE), LANDLORD MAY NOT REQUIRE TENANT TO REMOVE SUCH SPECIALTY ALTERATIONS AT THE END OF THE TERM OF THE LEASE.”
(b) If the Tenant remains in the Premises beyond the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, such holding over shall be without right and
-26-
shall not be deemed to create any tenancy, but the Tenant shall be a tenant at sufferance only at the rent set forth in this Section 6.1.9(b) and otherwise upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease. If possession of the Premises (or any part thereof) is not surrendered to Landlord on the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then (i) Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month (or any portion thereof) prior to the date on which Tenant actually surrenders possession of the Premises, a sum equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent, and other charges payable under this Lease as of the day immediately preceding the date of expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and (ii) if possession of the Premises (or any part thereof) is not surrendered to Landlord by the date which is ninety (90) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, then Tenant also shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against all damages (direct, consequential, or indirect) arising out of or resulting from such holding over.
6.1.10 | Rules and Regulations. To comply with the Rules and Regulations set forth in Exhibit E, and with all reasonable Rules and Regulations as may be adopted from time-to-time by Landlord (the “Rules and Regulations”) and of which Tenant has received notice. Landlord agrees to enforce such Rules and Regulations in a nondiscriminatory fashion, except where differing circumstances justify different treatment; however, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for the failure of any other tenant(s) of the Building to comply with such Rules and Regulations. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Rules and Regulations (whether included in Exhibit E or later adopted) and the terms and conditions of this Lease, the terms and conditions of this Lease shall govern and control. |
6.1.11 | Estoppel Certificates. Within not more than fifteen (15) days after request by Landlord, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate in writing in the form reasonably required by Landlord, certifying as to all or any of the following: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been any modifications stating such modifications), (ii) whether the Term has commenced and Fixed Rent and Additional Rent have become payable hereunder and, if so, the dates to which they have been paid, (iii) whether or not, to Tenant’s knowledge, Landlord is in default in performance of any of the terms of this Lease, and, if so, specifying such defaults, (iv) whether Tenant has accepted possession of the Premises, (v) whether Tenant has made any claim against Landlord under this Lease and, if so, the nature thereof and the dollar amount, if any, of such claim, (vi) whether Tenant claims any offsets or defenses against enforcement of any of the terms of this Lease, and, if so, setting them forth in reasonable detail, and (vii) such further information with respect to Lease and/or the Premises as Landlord may reasonably request and is customary in estoppel certificates provided to landlords, buyers and/or lenders. Any such statement delivered pursuant to this subsection 6.1.11 may be relied upon by Landlord, any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Premises, or any prospective assignee of such mortgage. Tenant shall also deliver to Landlord such financial information as may be reasonably required by Landlord to be provided to any mortgagee or prospective purchaser of the Property; provided, |
-27-
however, Landlord shall exercise good faith reasonable efforts to keep such financial information confidential and, prior to the delivery of any of Tenant’s financial information to such prospective purchasers, mortgagees or assignees of any mortgage, require such prospective purchasers, mortgagees or assignees of any mortgage to sign a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement with respect to such confidential information. |
6.1.12 | Landlord’s Expenses Re Consents. To reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with all requests made by Tenant for consents or approvals hereunder. |
6.1.13 | Outside Sales, etc. Not to (i) solicit sales, place signs, place or maintain any articles in any area of the Property outside of the Premises, or in the lobbies or on the sidewalks, corridors or other common areas of the Building, nor (ii) receive or ship articles of any kind outside the designated loading areas for the Premises, nor (iii) permit the parking of vehicles so as to interfere with the use of any driveway, corridor, footwalk, parking area, street or other common area of the Building. |
6.1.14 | Fire Extinguishers, etc. To maintain automatic, non-toxic, dry chemical fire extinguishing devices approved by the Fire Insurance Rating Organization having jurisdiction over the Premises, and if gas is used in the Premises, suitable gas cut-off devices (manual and automatic). |
6.1.15 | Receipt and Delivery. To receive and deliver goods and merchandise only through the loading dock designated from time to time by Landlord, during ordinary weekday business hours (except for Saturday deliveries by overnight courier firms such as Federal Express), and to cause all messenger and small scale deliveries to be made through the Building security desk, all in accordance with Landlord’s rules and regulations therefor. Without limitation, no “hand trucks” shall be used in the lobby areas of the Building. |
6.1.16 | Security Measures. To maintain order and decorum in and around all portions of the Premises, and if auxiliary security personnel shall reasonably be required to maintain such order and decorum the same shall be provided by and at the expense of Tenant whenever requested by Landlord. |
6.2 | Negative Covenants. Tenant covenants and agrees, at all times during the Term and during such additional times (prior or subsequent thereto) as Tenant occupies the Premises or any part thereof: |
6.2.1 | Assignment and Subletting. (a) Not to assign, transfer, mortgage or pledge this Lease or to sublease (which term shall be deemed to include the granting of concessions and licenses and the like) all or any part of the Premises or suffer or permit this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or any other rights arising under this Lease to be assigned, transferred or encumbered, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, or permit the occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant, without the prior written consent of |
-28-
Landlord in each instance. In the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublet any portion or all of the Premises, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s intent to so assign this Lease or sublet the Premises, which notice shall be accompanied by (a) with respect to an assignment of this Lease, the date Tenant desires the assignment to be effective, and (b) with respect to a sublet of all or a part of the Premises, (i) the material business terms on which Tenant would sublet such premises, and (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be sublet. Each such notice shall be deemed an offer from Tenant to Landlord whereby Landlord shall be granted the right, at Landlord’s option, (1) to suspend this Lease with respect to such space as Tenant proposes to sublease (the “Partial Space”), upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, or (2) if the proposed transaction is an assignment of this Lease or a subletting of fifty percent (50%) or more of the rentable square footage of the Premises for a sublease term that expires later than twelve (12) months prior to the Expiration Date, to terminate this Lease with respect to the entire Premises. Such option may be exercised by notice from Landlord to Tenant within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice. If Landlord exercises its option to terminate this Lease as to the entire Premises, or to suspend this Lease as to a Partial Space, pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then (a) this Lease shall end and expire, or be suspended, with respect to all or a portion of the Premises, as the case may be, on the date that such assignment or sublease was to commence (as if such date were the expiration date of the Term hereof), (b) Rent shall be apportioned, paid or refunded as of such date and Tenant’s Percentage shall be appropriately adjusted, (c) Tenant, upon Landlord’s request, shall enter into an amendment of this Lease ratifying and confirming such termination or suspension, and setting forth any appropriate modifications to the terms and provisions hereof, (d) Landlord shall be free to lease the Premises, or the portion thereof as to which such termination or suspension shall be effective, or any part thereof, to any person or persons, including, without limitation, to Tenant’s prospective assignee or subtenant, and (e) if the termination is only as to a Partial Space, Tenant shall be liable for all costs and expenses of segregating the Partial Space from the remaining Premises, and for the costs of separately demising the Partial Space from the remaining Premises. If Landlord does not elect to terminate or suspend this Lease as aforesaid, then Landlord’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld to such assignment or subletting, provided that the following conditions are met: |
(i) the proposed assignee or subtenant is not then, and has not within the twelve (12) months immediately preceding such request, been a tenant in the Building or an entity with whom Landlord is dealing or has dealt within such twelve (12) month period regarding the possibility of leasing space in the Building;
(ii) Tenant is not in default under this Lease beyond any applicable grace period;
(iii) the assignee or subtenant shall use the Premises only for the Permitted Uses; and
(iv) the form and substance of the proposed sublease or instrument of assignment is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.
-29-
Tenant shall furnish Landlord with any information reasonably requested by Landlord to enable Landlord to determine whether the proposed assignment or subletting complies with the requirements contained herein, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to the proposed assignee or subtenant, which Landlord shall keep confidential.
(b) Tenant shall, promptly after Landlord’s request therefor, reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for all reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any request by Tenant for such consent provided, however, with respect to each proposed sublease or assignment Tenant shall not be obligated to reimburse Landlord for more than $3,500.00 on account of such costs and expenses, unless such sublease or assignment does not occur in the ordinary course of business (e.g. is in connection with a bankruptcy or reorganization of Tenant) or involves an amendment to this Lease or other additional documentation (other than a customary Landlord’s consent to sublease or assignment agreement), or if Landlord provides unusual or extraordinary services in connection therewith. If Landlord consents thereto, no such subletting or assignment shall in any way impair the continuing primary liability of Tenant hereunder, and no consent to any subletting or assignment in a particular instance shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligation to obtain the prior written consent of Landlord for any other subletting or assignment. If Tenant has not executed and delivered to Landlord an assignment or sublease within one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord’s election not to terminate or suspend the Term hereof pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2.1(a) above, then Tenant shall submit an additional notice to Landlord, and Landlord shall again have the right to terminate the Term in the case of a proposed assignment or to suspend this Lease pro tanto for the period and with respect to the space involved in the case of a proposed subletting, in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2.1(a) as if Landlord’s prior election not to do so had not been made.
(c) If Tenant shall enter into any assignment of this Lease or any sublease of all or any portion of the Premises, and in connection with any such assignment or sublease Tenant receives rent or other consideration, either initially or over the term of the assignment or sublease, in excess of the Rent payable by Tenant hereunder, or in case of any sublease of part of the Premises in excess of the Rent fairly allocable to such part of the Premises (after first deducting Tenant’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs for construction of improvements in connection with said sublease and the reasonable third-party fees and expenses for brokerage, advertising, architectural, and legal services actually incurred by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease), amortized over the term of the assignment or sublease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, promptly after receipt thereof, as Additional Rent, fifty percent (50%) of the excess of each such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant. Within sixty (60) days after Landlord’s consent to such assignment or sublease (or if Landlord’s consent
-30-
is not required hereunder, within such sixty (60) days after the date of such assignment or sublease), Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a complete list of Tenant’s reasonable third-party brokerage fees, legal fees and architectural fees paid or to be paid in connection with such transaction, together with a list of all of Tenant’s personal property to be transferred to such assignee or sublessee. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of the payment of such fees promptly after the same are paid.
(d) If Tenant is a corporation, the transfer by one or more transfers, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, of a majority of the stock of Tenant shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease; provided, however, that the provisions of this subsection (d) shall not apply to the transfer of shares of stock of Tenant if and so long as the voting of stock of Tenant is publicly traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange. For purposes of this subsection (d) the term “transfers” shall be deemed to include the issuance of new stock or of treasury stock which results in a majority of the stock of Tenant being held by a person or persons that do not hold a majority of the stock of Tenant on the date hereof. If Tenant is a partnership, the transfer (by one or more transfers) of a majority interest in the partnership shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease. If Tenant is a limited liability company, trust, or any other legal entity, the transfer (by one or more transfers) of a majority of the beneficial ownership interests in, or the right(s) to manage and/or direct the operations of, such entity, however characterized, shall be deemed a voluntary assignment of this Lease.
(e) Any assignment or transfer, whether made with Landlord’s consent or without Landlord’s consent because Landlord’s consent is not required pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Section 6.2.1, if and to the extent permitted hereunder, shall not be effective unless and until the assignee or transferee executes, acknowledges and delivers to Landlord an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Landlord whereby the assignee (A) assumes Tenant’s obligations under this Lease (including, without limitation, the obligation to continue to operate for the Permitted Use), and (B) agrees that, notwithstanding such assignment or transfer, the provisions of this Section 6.2.1 shall be binding upon it with respect to all future assignments and transfers.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Landlord’s prior consent shall not be required for an assignment of this Lease in connection with transactions with an entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of or ownership interests in Tenant, or into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated so long as: (i) such entity shall agree with Landlord to be bound by all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder; (ii) such assignment shall not relieve Tenant of any of its obligations hereunder; and (iii) such transfer was made for a legitimate independent business purpose and not for the purpose of transferring this Lease.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Landlord’s prior consent shall not be required for an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of all or a portion of the Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant (but only for such period of time as such
-31-
Person remains an Affiliate of Tenant), it being agreed that the subsequent transfer of control, or any other transaction(s) having the overall effect that such Person ceases to be such an Affiliate of Tenant, shall be treated as if such transfer or transaction(s) were, for all purposes, an assignment of this Lease to a third party not an Affiliate of Tenant governed by the provisions of subsection (a). “Affiliate” shall mean any entity (i) of which Tokai Pharmaceuticals, Inc. possesses, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such entity, or (ii) of which Tokai Pharmaceuticals, Inc. owns not less than fifty percent (50%) of the ownership interests; provided, however, the subsequent sale or transfer of stock or ownership interests having the overall effect that Tokai Pharmaceuticals, Inc. no longer holds fifty percent (50%) or more of the ownership interests of such entity shall be treated as if such sale, transfer or other transaction(s) were for all purposes, an assignment of this Lease. Any assignee or sublessee pursuant to a transaction described in Section 6.2.1(f) or (g) shall be a “Permitted Assignee.”
(h) The joint and several liability of Tenant and any successors-in-interest of Tenant and the due performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any agreement or stipulation made by Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, extending the time, or modifying any of the terms and provisions of this Lease, or by any waiver or failure of Landlord, or any grantee or assignee of Landlord, to enforce any of the terms and provisions of this Lease. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on the doors of the Premises, the Building directory or elsewhere shall not vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any assignment or transfer of this Lease or to any sublease of the Premises or to the use or occupancy thereof by others. Any such listing shall constitute a privilege revocable in Landlord’s discretion by notice to Tenant.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prior consent of Landlord shall not be required with respect to, and the provisions of Section 6.2.1 shall not apply to, occupancy agreements entered into by Tenant with its clients and customers (“Approved Users”) for the temporary occupancy of space within the Premises, provided that (a) Tenant does not separately demise such space and the Approved Users utilize, in common with Tenant, common entryways to the Premises as well as shared central services, such as reception, photocopying and the like; (b) the Approved Users shall not occupy, in the aggregate, more than 20% of the Rentable Area in the Premises; (c) the Approved Users occupy space in the Premises for the Permitted Uses and for no other purpose; and (d) if requested by Landlord, Tenant notifies Landlord, in writing, of the identity of any such Approved Users prior to occupancy of the Premises by such Approved Users. If any Approved Users occupy any portion of the Premises as described herein, (i) the Approved Users shall comply with all provisions of this Lease, and a default by any Approved User shall be deemed a default by Tenant under this Lease; (ii) all notices required to be provided by Landlord under this Lease shall be forwarded only to Tenant in accordance with the terms of this Lease and in no
-32-
event shall Landlord be required to send any notices to any Approved Users; (iii) in no event shall any use or occupancy of any portion of the Premises by any Approved User release or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease; (iv) the Approved Users shall be deemed to be contractors of Tenant for purposes of Tenant’s indemnification obligations set forth in this Lease; and (v) in no event shall the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by Approved Users be deemed to create a landlord/tenant relationship between Landlord and such Approved Users, and, in all instances, Tenant shall be considered the sole tenant under this Lease notwithstanding the occupancy of any portion of the Premises by the Approved Users.
6.2.2 | Nuisance. Not to permit or cause any offensive odors or vibrations to be emitted from the Premises. Not to injure, deface or otherwise harm the Premises or the Property (or any part thereof), nor to commit any nuisance; nor permit in the Premises any vending machine (except as used for the sale of merchandise to employees and guests of Tenant) or kerosene, gasoline, or inflammable or combustible or explosive fluid or chemical substance (other than limited quantities of such materials or substances reasonably necessary for the operation or maintenance of office equipment or limited quantities of cleaning fluids and solvents required in Tenant’s normal operations in the Premises); nor permit any cooking to such extent as requires special exhaust venting or in violation of the Rules and Regulations; nor permit the emission of any objectionable noise or odor; nor permit use of any telecommunications or other equipment which interferes with the use and enjoyment by any other tenant of the Building of its demised premises; nor make, allow or suffer any waste; nor make any use of the Premises which is improper, offensive or contrary to any law or ordinance or which will invalidate any of Landlord’s insurance or cause any increase above normal insurance premiums on the Building; nor conduct any auction, fire, “going out of business” or bankruptcy sales. |
6.2.3 | Hazardous Wastes and Materials. Not to (i) cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be used, handled, generated, stored or disposed of on, under or above, or transported to or from, the Premises, and/or (ii) cause or permit any of the employees, agents, contractors, licensees, customers, or invitees of Tenant to use, handle, generate, store, or dispose of on, under, or above, or transport to or from, any other portion of the Property (collectively, “Hazardous Materials Activities”). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to prevent Tenant from using de minimus quantities of commercially available cleaners and office supplies which are customarily used in the ordinary course of first-class business office operations, which cleaners and/or office supplies contain Hazardous Materials; provided that, Tenant shall use such cleaners and/or office supplies in strict compliance (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) with all applicable laws, and shall use all necessary and appropriate precautions to prevent any spill, discharge, release or exposure to persons or property. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss, cost, expense, claim, damage or liability arising out of any Hazardous Materials Activities by Tenant, or by Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, customers or invitees, whether or not consented to by |
-33-
Landlord. Tenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to and approved by Landlord, and hold Landlord and all Landlord Affiliates harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys fees), claims, damages, obligations and liabilities arising out of: (i) any Hazardous Materials Activities on the Premises first occurring after the Commencement Date, whether or not consented to by Landlord; (ii) any Hazardous Materials Activities by Tenant, Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, licensees, customers or invitees or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, wherever occurring; and (iii) any contamination, claim of contamination, loss or damage, or the like arising out of or resulting from the foregoing. For purposes hereof, “Hazardous Materials” shall include but not be limited to substances defined as “hazardous substances,” “toxic substances” or “hazardous wastes” or “oil” in any local, state or federal law, rule, regulation or ordinance (collectively, “Environmental Law(s)”). If Landlord consents to any Hazardous Materials Activities, prior to using, storing or maintaining any Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a list of the types and quantities thereof, and shall update such list from time-to-time as necessary for continued accuracy. Tenant shall also provide Landlord with a copy of any Hazardous Materials inventory statement and any updates thereof required by any applicable Environmental Laws. If Tenant’s activities violate or create a risk of violation of any Environmental Law or cause a spill, discharge, release or exposure to any persons or property, Tenant shall cease such activities immediately. Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord both by telephone and in writing of any spill, discharge, release or exposure of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises, or of any condition in or about the Premises constituting an “imminent hazard” under any Environmental Laws. Landlord, Landlord’s representatives and employees may enter the Premises during the Term to inspect Tenant’s compliance herewith, and may disclose any spill, discharge, release, or exposure or any violation of any Environmental Laws to any applicable governmental agencies or authorities. |
6.2.4 | Floor Load; Heavy Equipment. Not to place a load upon any floor of the Premises exceeding the floor load per square foot area which Landlord reasonably determines the floor is adequate to carry, and in no event, in excess of that allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to reasonably prescribe the weight and position of all heavy business machines and equipment, including safes, which shall be placed so as to distribute the weight. Business machines and mechanical equipment which cause vibration or noise shall be placed and maintained by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in settings sufficient to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance. Tenant shall not move any safe, heavy machinery, heavy equipment, freight or fixtures into or out of the Premises except in such manner and at such time as Landlord shall reasonably authorize in each instance. |
6.2.5 | Improvements, Alterations and Additions. (a) Not to make any installations, improvements, alterations or additions (collectively, “Alterations”) in, to or on the Premises, nor the installation or modification of any locks or security devices, |
-34-
without on each occasion obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s prior written consent shall not be required in connection with usual and customary interior decorative or cosmetic Alterations that satisfy the following criteria: (i) the Alteration is of a decoration or cosmetic nature such as wallpapering, painting, carpeting or installation of artwork, (ii) the Alteration is non-structural and does not affect the Building Systems, (iii) the Alteration affects only the Premises and is not visible from outside of the Premises or the Building, (iv) the Alteration will not adversely affect any service furnished by Landlord to Tenant or to any other tenant of the Building, (v) the Alteration does not require work to be performed inside the walls, above the ceiling, or below the floor of the Premises, and (vi) the Alteration is in compliance with, and does not cause any violations of, all applicable laws, codes, ordinances, by-laws, and requirements. All Alterations (excepting only decorative Alterations) shall be performed pursuant to plans and specifications approved by Landlord in advance in each instance and by contractors approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. All Alterations shall be performed in a manner and fashion so as to minimize interference with the other tenants and occupants of the Building, with Landlord and Landlord’s operations in the Building and with other labor working on the Premises and/or the Property (or any part thereof). Tenant shall pay promptly when due the entire cost and expense of all Alterations to the Premises undertaken by Tenant and in any event shall cause the Premises at all times to be free of liens for labor and materials. All Alterations performed by Tenant shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, employing materials of the highest quality and in compliance with all applicable Requirements. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and all Landlord Affiliates from (i) any personal injury, death, damage or loss to any person or property arising out of or resulting from any Alterations undertaken by Tenant, and (ii) any liabilities and/or obligations for any and all liens or encumbrances filed against the Property or any part thereof or interest therein arising out of or resulting from the Alterations performed by Tenant. Tenant, at its expense, shall procure the discharge or bonding of all such liens and encumbrances within thirty (30) days after the filing of any such lien or encumbrance against the Premises and/or the Property or any part thereof. If Tenant shall fail to cause any such lien or encumbrance to be discharged or bonded within such thirty (30) day period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due or by deposit or bonding proceedings, and in any such event Landlord shall be entitled, if it elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien and to pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lien with interest, costs and allowances. Without limiting the foregoing, any amount so paid by Landlord, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, shall constitute Additional Rent under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within ten (10) days after demand. |
(b) Prior to commencing any Alterations, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense: (i) secure all licenses, permits and approvals required by any
-35-
governmental authorities in connection therewith; (ii) deliver to Landlord a statement of the names of all of its contractors and subcontractors, and the estimated costs of all labor and material to be furnished by them; (iii) furnish to Landlord reasonably satisfactory evidence of the insurance coverages maintained by Tenant in accordance with the requirements of Section 4.2.4 of this Lease; and (iv) cause each contractor to carry (A) workers’ compensation insurance in statutory amounts and employer’s liability insurance with limits of not less than $500,000.00 per accident covering all the contractor’s and subcontractor’s employees, (B) commercial general liability insurance, including completed operations coverage, for a period of not less than one (1) year beyond completion of the work that the contractor/subcontractor performs, with such limits as Landlord may reasonably require but in no event less than $5,000,000.00 per occurrence, and (C) automobile liability insurance with such limits as Landlord may reasonably require, but in no event less than $1,000,000.00 combined single limit per accident, with liability coverage of not less than $4,000,000.00 (for a total of $5,000,000.00 in an umbrella liability policy). All such insurance coverages (i) shall be written by companies duly licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and reasonably approved by Landlord, (ii) shall name Landlord, all Landlord Affiliates requested by Landlord, and Tenant as additional insureds, as their respective interests may appear, as well as their respective contractors and subcontractors, (iii) shall contain a waiver of subrogation provision in favor of Landlord and all such Landlord Affiliates, and (iv) shall provide primary coverage as to any other coverage maintained by any insured other than Tenant. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord certificates of all such insurance before Tenant begins any Alterations.
(c) Landlord may inspect the Alterations in progress at reasonable times and from time-to-time; provided, however, Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, (i) give Tenant reasonable prior notice of such inspections, and (ii) conduct such inspections so as to minimize interference with the construction work of Tenant.
(d) At Landlord’s request, promptly after such Alterations are completed, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a complete set of “as-built” plans for the portions of the Premises affected by such work, prepared using electronic CAD files in AUTO CAD format.
(e) All Alterations shall be performed (a) in a good and first-class workmanlike manner and free from defects, (b) in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord, and by contractors approved by Landlord, (c) if requested by Landlord, under the supervision of a licensed architect reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, and (d) in compliance with all applicable laws, by-laws, ordinances, codes, regulations and guidelines, the terms of this Lease, and all procedures and regulations then prescribed by Landlord for coordinating all work performed in the Property.
-36-
(f) Tenant shall pay promptly to Landlord or its designee, upon demand, all reasonable out-of-pocket architectural and engineering fees and costs actually incurred by Landlord in connection with the review and supervision of Tenant’s Alterations (including the Tenant’s Work), including costs incurred in connection with Landlord’s review of the Alterations (including review of requests for approval thereof). In addition, if Tenant’s Alterations shall cost more than $100,000.00, Tenant shall pay to Landlord or its designee, upon demand, an administrative fee in the amount of three percent (3%) of the total cost of such Alterations.
(g) The approval of plans or specifications, or consent by Landlord to the making of any Alterations, does not constitute Landlord’s agreement or representation that such plans, specifications or Alterations comply with any laws, codes, ordinances, rules, guidelines or requirements. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant or any other party in connection with Landlord’s approval of any plans and specifications for any Alterations, or Landlord’s consent to Tenant’s performing any Alterations.
6.2.6 | Abandonment. Not to abandon or vacate the Premises during the Term without continuing to pay Rent when due hereunder. |
6.2.7 | Signs; Building Directory. Not to install or place any signs, displays, curtains, blinds, shades, awnings, aerials, or the like, in any areas that may be visible from outside the Premises, excepting only with the prior written approval of the Landlord in each instance. Landlord will, at Landlord’s expense, install the name of the Tenant in the Building lobby directory. Without limiting the foregoing, subject to Landlord’s approval and in accordance with the signage standards and specifications adopted by Landlord from time-to-time, Tenant may at its sole cost and expense install identification signage on the entrance doors to the Premises and in the elevator lobby area of the floor on which the Premises are located. |
ARTICLE 7
Casualty or Taking
7.1 | Termination. In the event that the Premises or the Building and/or any material part thereof, shall be taken by any public authority or for any public use, or shall be destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, or by the action of any public authority, then this Lease may be terminated at the election of Landlord. Such election, which may be made notwithstanding the fact that Landlord’s entire interest may have been divested, shall be made by the giving of notice by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the date of the taking or casualty. In addition to Landlord’s right to terminate as provided herein, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if either (i) more than thirty-five percent (35%) of the Rentable Area of the Premises shall be destroyed or materially damaged by fire or casualty, or (ii) a material portion of the common areas of the Building are destroyed or materially damaged such that Tenant is deprived of reasonable access to the Premises; and as a result thereof, (a) the Premises are not, despite |
-37-
Tenant’s commercially reasonable good faith efforts, usable by Tenant in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business; and (b) within not more than thirty (30) days after the date of the casualty or damage or of the date of Landlord’s notice to Tenant of such taking, Tenant provides Landlord with written notice of its election to terminate this Lease. Subject to the terms of this Section 7.1, if Tenant timely and properly notifies Landlord of its election to terminate this Lease, this Lease shall terminate thirty (30) days after the date such notice is received by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 7, if any damage during the final 18 months of the Term renders the Premises wholly untenantable, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease by notice to the other party within 30 days after the occurrence of such damage and this Lease shall expire on the 30th day after the date of such notice. For purposes of this paragraph, the Premises shall be deemed wholly untenantable if Tenant shall be precluded from using more than 35% of the Rentable Area of the Premises for the conduct of its business and Tenant’s inability to so use the Premises is reasonably expected to continue for more than 90 days. |
7.2 | Restoration. Subject to the terms of Section 7.1, if neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to terminate this Lease, then this Lease shall continue in force and, if such taking or damage is of or to the Premises, a just proportion of the Rent reserved, according to the nature and extent of the damages sustained by the Premises, shall be suspended or abated until the Premises, or what may remain thereof, shall be put by Landlord in proper condition for use, which Landlord covenants to do with reasonable diligence (subject to delays which result from any cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord) to the extent permitted by the net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded for such taking, destruction or damage and subject to zoning and building laws or ordinances then in existence. Should the net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded be insufficient to cover the cost of restoring the Premises, in the reasonable estimate of the Landlord, the Landlord may, but shall have no obligation to, supply the amount of such insufficiency and restore the Premises with all reasonable diligence or the Landlord may terminate the Lease by giving notice to the Tenant not later than a reasonable time after the Landlord has determined the estimated net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded and the estimated cost of such restoration. In case of damage or destruction, as a result of a risk which is not covered by the Landlord’s insurance, the Landlord shall likewise be obligated to rebuild the Premises, all as aforesaid, unless the Landlord, within a reasonable time after the occurrence of such event, gives written notice to the Tenant of the Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease. “Net proceeds of insurance recovered or damages awarded” refers to the gross amount of such insurance or damages actually received by Landlord less the reasonable expenses of Landlord incurred in connection with the collection of the same, including without limitation, fees and expenses for legal and appraisal services. If Landlord’s restoration work has not been substantially completed within twelve (12) months after the taking or damage, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving Landlord written notice of its election to do so within thirty (30) days after the end of such twelve (12) month period, and if Tenant timely gives such notice, this |
-38-
Lease shall terminate on the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of the giving of such notice, unless Landlord’s restoration work is substantially completed within such thirty (30) day period, in which event such termination notice shall be null and void and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. |
7.3 | Award. Irrespective of the form in which recovery may be had by law, all rights to damages or compensation for any taking of the Premises (including, without limitation, any taking of the leasehold interest of Tenant) shall belong to Landlord in all cases. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord all of Tenant’s rights to such damages and covenants to deliver such further assignments thereof as Landlord may from time to time request. The Tenant shall be entitled to receive and retain only such amounts as may be specifically awarded to it in any such condemnation proceedings, as a result of the taking of its trade fixtures or furniture and its leasehold improvements to the extent the Landlord’s award is not thereby reduced and the Tenant is not otherwise reimbursed for the same by the Landlord. |
ARTICLE 8
Defaults
8.1 | Events of Default. If any of the following occurs: |
(a) Tenant shall default in the payment when due of any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, and such default shall continue for five (5) business days after notice thereof from Landlord; or
(b) Tenant shall have previously defaulted more than twice in any twelve (12) month period in the payment when due of any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, Tenant subsequently defaults in the payment when due of any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent; or
(c) Tenant shall default in the timely performance or observance of any other term, covenant, or condition contained in this Lease on the Tenant’s part to be performed or observed and shall fail, within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord of such default, to cure such default; or if such default is not reasonably susceptible of cure within thirty (30) days, if Tenant shall fail to commence to cure such default within thirty (30) days after notice of such default from Landlord or shall thereafter fail diligently to prosecute such cure to completion or shall fail to cure such default by not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of such notice from Landlord; or
(d) the estate of Tenant hereby created shall be taken on execution, or by other process of law; or
(e) Tenant commences a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code as from time-to-time in effect, or it authorizes, by appropriate proceedings of trustees or other governing body the commencement of such a voluntary case; or
-39-
(f) Tenant files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to deny the material allegations of a petition filed against it commencing an involuntary case under said Bankruptcy Code, or if it seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the relief therein provided, or if it fails to controvert timely the material allegations of any such petition; or
(g) there is entered an order for relief in any involuntary case commenced under said Title; or
(h) Tenant seeks relief as a debtor under any applicable law, other than said Bankruptcy Code, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or to the modification or alteration of the rights of creditors, or by Tenant’s consent to or acquiescence in such relief; or
(i) there is entered an order by a court of competent jurisdiction (i) finding Tenant to be bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) ordering or approving Tenant’s liquidation, reorganization or any modification or alteration of the rights of its creditors, or (iii) assuming custody of, or appointing a receiver or other custodian for, all or a substantial part of Tenant’s property; or
(j) Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of, or enters into a composition with, its creditors, or appoints or consents to the appointment of a receiver or other custodian for all or a substantial part of its property; or
(k) Tenant rejects this Lease and a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order approving the rejection of the Lease under Title 11 of the United States Code as from time to time in effect, or under any applicable law, other than said Title 11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or to the modification or alteration of the rights of creditors, or by Tenant’s consent to or acquiescence in such relief;
then and in any of said cases, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, Landlord may, to the extent permitted by law, immediately or at any time thereafter and with or without demand or notice to Tenant, enter into and upon the Premises, or any part thereof in the name of the whole, and repossess the same as of Landlord’s former estate, and expel Tenant and those claiming by, through or under Tenant and remove its effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, and without prejudice to any remedies which might otherwise be used for arrears of Rent and preceding breach of covenant, and/or Landlord may terminate this Lease by sending written notice thereof to Tenant and this Lease shall terminate and come to an end on the earlier to occur of (i) entry as aforesaid, or (ii) the fifth (5th) day following the sending of such notice as fully and completely as if such date were on the date herein originally fixed for the expiration of the Term of this Lease. Tenant will then quit and surrender the Premises to Landlord, but Tenant shall remain liable as herein provided. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws (including M.G.L.
-40-
c.186, §11), in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed, or in the event of Landlord obtaining possession of the Premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this Lease. In the event of any such termination, entry or re-entry, Landlord shall have the right to remove and store Tenant’s property and that of persons claiming by, through or under Tenant at the sole risk and expense of Tenant and, if Landlord so elects, (x) to sell such property at public auction or private sale and apply the net proceeds to the payment of all sums due to Landlord from Tenant and pay the balance, if any, to Tenant, or (y) to dispose of such property in any manner in which Landlord shall elect, Tenant hereby agreeing to the fullest extent permitted by law that it shall have no right, title or interest in any property remaining in the Premises after such termination, entry or re-entry.
8.2 | Remedies. (a) No termination or repossession provided for in Section 8.1 shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of the liabilities and obligations of Tenant under this Lease, all of which shall survive any such termination or repossession. In the event of any such termination or repossession, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord’s election, either (i) in advance, on the first day of each month, for what would have been the entire balance of the Term (including any unexercised Extension Term), 1/12th (and a pro rata portion thereof for any fraction of a month) of the annual Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and all other amounts for which Tenant is obligated hereunder, minus, in each case, the actual net receipts by Landlord by reason of any re-letting of the Premises (after deducting Landlord’s reasonable expenses in connection with such re-letting, including, without limitation, remodeling costs and costs of preparing the Premises, removal, storage and repair costs and reasonable brokers’ and attorneys’ fees), or (ii) upon demand and at the option of Landlord at any time thereafter, the present value (computed at a discount rate based upon the Prime Rate) of the amount by which the payments of Fixed Rent and Additional Rent payable for the balance of the Term would exceed the fair rental value of the Premises for the balance of the Term, determined by Landlord as of such date, less any proceeds of any re-letting of the Premises. For purposes of this Article, if Landlord elects to require Tenant to pay damages in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the total amount due shall be computed by assuming that Tenant’s Tax Excess and Tenant’s Operating Cost Excess would be, for the balance of such unexpired Term, the amount thereof respectively for the Tax Period and calendar year, respectively, in which such termination, entry or re-entry shall occur. |
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises after Tenant vacates the Premises; however, the marketing of the Premises in a manner similar to the manner in which Landlord markets other premises within Landlord’s control in the Building shall be deemed to have satisfied Landlord’s obligation to use “reasonable efforts.” In no event shall Landlord be required to (i) solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises unless and until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises, including the final and unappealable legal right to re-let the Premises free of any claim of Tenant, (ii) lease the Premises to a
-41-
tenant whose proposed use, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, will be unacceptable, (iii) re-let the Premises prior to leasing any other vacant space in the Building, suitable for the use of the prospective tenant, (iv) lease the Premises for a rental rate less than the current fair market rent then prevailing for similar space in the Building, or (v) enter into a lease with any proposed tenant that does not have, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, sufficient financial wherewithal and resources to satisfy its financial obligations under the prospective lease. Landlord may elect: (i) to re-let the Premises or any part or parts thereof, for a term or terms which may at Landlord’s option be equal to or less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and may grant such inducements, allowances, concessions and free rent as Landlord in its sole discretion considers advisable or necessary to re-let the same, and/or (ii) to make such alterations, repairs and decorations to the Premises as Landlord in its sole discretion considers advisable or necessary to re-let the same, and no action of Landlord in accordance with the foregoing or failure to re-let or to collect rent under re-letting shall operate or be construed to release or reduce Tenant’s liability as aforesaid. In connection with any such re-letting, Landlord may take into account all relevant factors which would be considered by a sophisticated Landlord in re-letting the Premises, and Tenant hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any obligation Landlord may have to mitigate the Tenant’s damages; provided, however, the foregoing provisions shall not detract from Landlord’s obligations to exercise reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises as set forth in this Section 8.2(b).
(c) Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit or prejudice the right of Landlord to prove for and obtain in proceedings for bankruptcy, insolvency or like proceedings by reason of the termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, the damages are to be proved, whether or not the amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the loss or damages referred to above.
8.3 | Remedies Cumulative. Any and all rights and remedies which Landlord may have under this Lease, and at law and equity, shall be cumulative and shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and any two or more of all such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time insofar as permitted by law. |
8.4 | Landlord’s Right to Cure Defaults. After the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods and upon reasonable prior notice (except in emergencies), Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, cure any default by Tenant under this Lease; and whenever Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in curing such default shall be paid, as Additional Rent, by Tenant to Landlord on demand, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of payment by Landlord to the date of payment by Tenant. |
-42-
8.5 | Effect of Waivers of Default. Any consent or permission by Landlord to any act or omission which otherwise would be a breach of any covenant or condition herein, or any waiver by Landlord of the breach of any covenant or condition, shall not in any way be held or construed to operate so as to impair the continuing obligation of any covenant or condition herein, or otherwise, except as to the specific instance, operate to permit similar acts or omissions. |
8.6 | No Waiver, etc. The failure of Landlord to complain of any action or omission or to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of, any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such violation nor prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Landlord of any payments on account of Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be deemed to have been a waiver of such breach by Landlord. No consent or waiver, express or implied, by Landlord or by Tenant to or of any breach of any agreement or duty to the other shall be construed as a waiver or consent to or of any other breach of the same by the other or any other agreement or duty of the other. |
8.7 | No Accord and Satisfaction. No acceptance by Landlord of a lesser sum than the Fixed Rent, Additional Rent or any other charge then due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest installment of such Rent or charge due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent or other charge be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such installment or pursue any other remedy in this Lease provided. |
ARTICLE 9
Rights of Mortgagees
9.1 | Rights of Mortgagees. (a) The rights and interests of Tenant under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgages that are now or may hereafter be placed upon the Property and/or the Building, and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, together with all renewals, modifications, replacements and extensions thereof. Without limitation, any mortgagee shall have the right, at its option, to subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, in whole or in part, by recording with the Registry of Deeds a unilateral written declaration to such effect. Upon entry and taking possession of the property by a mortgagee, for the purpose of foreclosure or otherwise, such Mortgagee shall have all the rights of Landlord, and shall be liable to perform all the obligations of Landlord arising during the period of such possession, provided, however, that such Mortgagee shall have no liability for any obligations which arise prior to the date on which it makes such entry or takes possession. No act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which would entitle Tenant under the terms of this Lease, or by law, to be relieved of Tenant’s obligations hereunder or to terminate this Lease, shall result in a release or termination of such obligations or a termination of this Lease unless (i) Tenant |
-43-
shall have first given written notice of Landlord’s act or failure to act to first mortgagees of record, if any, and to any other mortgagees of whom Tenant has been given written notice, specifying the act or failure to act on the part of Landlord which could or would give basis to Tenant’s rights; and (ii) such mortgagees, after receipt of such notice, have failed or refused to correct or cure the condition complained of within a reasonable time thereafter; but nothing contained in this paragraph (c) shall be deemed to impose any obligation on any such mortgagees to correct or cure any such condition. “Reasonable time” as used above means and includes a reasonable time to obtain possession of the Property if any such mortgagee elects to do so and a reasonable time to correct or cure the condition if such condition is determined to exist. This Section shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver any instrument that Landlord, any mortgagee or any of their respective successors in interest may reasonably require to evidence such subordination, which instrument shall also include commercially reasonable provisions for the recognition and non-disturbance of Tenant’s estate and rights under this Lease, consistent with the terms and conditions of the form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement attached hereto as Exhibit H. |
Concurrently with the delivery of this Lease, Landlord will deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from Bank of America, N.A., the current holder of a mortgage on the Property, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. In connection with any mortgages or ground leases entered into during the Term, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such mortgagee or ground lessor to execute and deliver to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, or such form which provides Tenant with similar benefits.
(b) If any mortgagee or the nominee or designee of any mortgagee shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this Lease, whether through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed, or otherwise, then at the request of such party so succeeding to Landlord’s rights (herein called “Successor Landlord”) and upon such Successor Landlord’s written agreement to recognize and not disturb Tenant’s estate and rights under this Lease and accept Tenant’s attornment, Tenant shall attorn to and recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as are set forth in this Lease, except that the Successor Landlord shall not be (a) liable in any way to Tenant for any act or omission, neglect or default on the part of Landlord under this Lease, (b) responsible for any monies owing by or on deposit with Landlord to the credit of Tenant, (c) subject to any counterclaim or setoff which theretofore accrued to Tenant against Landlord, (d) bound by any modification of this Lease not
-44-
previously approved by such Successor Landlord (or its predecessors in interest), or by any previous prepayment of Annual Fixed Rent or Additional Rent for more than 1 month, (e) liable to the Tenant beyond the Successor Landlord’s interest in the Property and the rents, income, receipts, revenues, issues and profits issuing from the Property, (f) responsible for the performance of any work to be done by the Landlord under this Lease to render the Premises ready for occupancy by the Tenant, or (g) required to remove any person occupying the Premises or any part thereof, except if such person claims by, through or under the Successor Landlord.
9.2 | Modifications. If any mortgagee shall require any modification(s) of this Lease, Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, promptly execute and deliver to Landlord such instruments effecting such modification(s) as Landlord shall require, provided that such modification(s) do not adversely affect in any material respect any of Tenant’s rights under this Lease. |
ARTICLE 10
[Intentionally Deleted]
ARTICLE 11
Miscellaneous Provisions
11.1 | Notices from One Party to the Other. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and addressed as follows: (i) if to the Tenant and sent prior to the Commencement Date, at the Original Notice Address of Tenant; and if sent on or after the Commencement Date, at the Premises, or such other address as Tenant shall have last designated by notice in writing to Landlord, and; (ii) if to Landlord, at the Original Notice Address of Landlord or such other address as Landlord shall have last designated by notice in writing to Tenant. Any notice shall be sent to such address by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or by nationally recognized courier, charges prepaid, or by hand and shall be effective when received or when tendered delivery is refused. |
11.2 | Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord agrees that upon Tenant’s paying the Rent and performing and observing the agreements, conditions and other provisions on its part to be performed and observed, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises during the Term hereof without any manner of hindrance or molestation from Landlord or anyone claiming under Landlord, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease. The foregoing covenant of quiet enjoyment is in lieu of any other covenant, express or implied. |
11.3 | Lease Not to be Recorded. The Tenant agrees not to record this Lease, but each party hereto agrees, on request of the other, to execute a Notice of Lease in recordable form and complying with applicable laws, and in form and content reasonably satisfactory to both parties. In no event shall such document set forth the rental or other charges payable by the Tenant under this Lease; and any such document shall expressly state that it is executed pursuant to the provisions contained in this Lease, and is not intended to vary the terms and conditions of this Lease. |
-45-
11.4 | Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations to be performed by Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the Property, and in the event of any transfer or transfers of title to the Property, the Landlord (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be concurrently freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, without any further instrument or agreement, of all liability and obligation with respect to the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, it being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord, shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on the Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and with respect to their respective successive periods of ownership of such leasehold interest or fee, as the case may be. Tenant, its successors and assigns, shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Property and in the rents, issues and profits thereof, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interests for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease. In no event shall Landlord or any Landlord Affiliates, including, without limitation, any general or limited partner, trustees, beneficiaries, employees, agents, officers, directors, stockholders, managers, or members of Landlord ever be personally liable for any liability or obligation of, Landlord whether under this Lease, or at law or in equity. |
