THIRD MODIFICATION OF LEASE
EXHIBIT 10.1
THIRD MODIFICATION OF LEASE
This Third Modification of Lease (the “Third Modification”) is made effective as of this 22nd day of April, 2016, by and between TPR Associates, LLC, a Connecticut limited liability company with an office in Farmington, Connecticut (hereinafter “Landlord”) and FuelCell Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation with an office and place of business in Torrington, Connecticut (hereinafter “Tenant”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Technology Park Associates LLC entered into a Lease with Tenant dated March 8, 2000 for land, a building thereafter constructed of approximately 65,000 square feet (referred to in the Lease as the “Building” and which may be referred to hereinafter as the “Current Building”), and other improvements, which land, Current Building and other improvements comprise the “Premises” as described in the Lease, which is also generally known as 000 Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx; and
WHEREAS, by Assignment of Lease agreement dated as of July 14, 2000, Technology Park Associates LLC. assigned its interest in the Lease to Fuel Associates LLC; and
WHEREAS, by Assignment of Lease agreement dated as of July 14, 2000, Fuel Associates LLC assigned its interest in the Lease to Landlord; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into a Modification of Lease dated December 2, 2001 and a Second Modification of Lease dated November 5, 2007 (the “Second Modification”); and
WHEREAS, Tenant exercised its five (5) year extension right as set forth in Section 3 of the Second Modification by letter to Landlord dated September 28, 2015 (the “9/28 Exercise Letter”) and commenced the extension term pursuant thereto on January 1, 2016; and
WHEREAS, the Lease, as previously modified, and as further modified hereby, shall be referred to herein below as the “Lease”; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to extend the term of the Lease and make other modifications to the provisions of the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows:
1. | The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein by this reference. Defined terms not otherwise expressly defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto as set forth in the Lease. |
2. | The term of the Lease is hereby extended for an additional period of fifteen (15) years from January 1, 2016 through and including December 31, 2030 (the “Fifteen Year Term”). Tenant’s exercise of Section 3 of the Second Modification pursuant to the 9/28 Exercise Letter is superseded and replaced by this Third Modification and is of no further legal effect with respect to the period from and after January 1, 2016. |
3. | During the Fifteen Year Term, Tenant shall pay base rent to Landlord as follows: |
a. | During the first five (5) years of the Fifteen Year Term (which includes the dates of January 1, 2016 through and including December 31, 2020), Tenant shall pay to Landlord a base annual rental amount of $308,750.00 per year in equal minimum monthly installments of $25,729.17 payable in advance on the first day of each and every month without prior demand by Landlord. Because this Third Modification was executed and delivered after January 1, 2016 during which period Tenant continued to pay base rent at a slightly higher rate under the prior base rent schedule established pursuant to the 9/28 Exercise Letter, the parties shall adjust base rent hereafter paid to Landlord by crediting Tenant with any over-payment made hereunder from January 1, 2016 through the date of execution and delivery hereof, appropriately pro-rated for any partial month, until such overpayment has been reimbursed to Tenant in full. Upon execution hereof, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement setting forth the amount of overpayment, and such sum will be deducted from base rent until fully recaptured by Tenant. |
b. | During years six (6) through ten (10) of the Fifteen Year Term (which includes the dates of January 1, 2021 through and including December 31, 2025), Tenant shall pay to Landlord a base annual rental amount of $373,750.00 per year in equal minimum monthly installments of $31,145.83 payable in advance on the first day of each and every month without prior demand by Landlord. |
c. | During years eleven (11) through fifteen (15) of the Fifteen Year Term (which includes the dates of January 1, 2026 through and including December 31, 2030), Tenant shall pay to Landlord a base annual rental amount of $438,750.00 per year in equal minimum monthly installments of $36,562.50 payable in advance on the first day of each and every month without prior demand by Landlord. |
4. | Landlord grants Tenant the right and option to extend the term of this Lease for three (3) additional periods of five (5) years each (the “First Extension Period”, the “Second Extension Period”, and the “Third Extension Period”, respectively). The First Extension Period, if duly exercised, shall commence on January 1, 2031 and continue through and including December 31, 2035, the Second Extension Period, if duly exercised, shall commence on January 1, 2036 and continue through and including December 31, 2040, and the Third Extension Period, if duly exercised, shall commence on January 1, 2041 and continue through and including December 31, 2045. |
The term of this Lease shall be extended for one or more Extension Periods (as such Extension Periods are described above), at Tenant’s option provided: (a) written notice of Tenant’s election to exercise its right and option to extend the term of this Lease as set forth herein (each, a “Tenant Extension Option Notice”) is given to Landlord on or before March 31, 2030 with respect to the First Extension Period, on or before March 31, 2035 with respect to the Second Extension Period, and on or before March 31, 2040 with respect to the Third Extension Period; and (b) no uncured default exists under the Lease as of the date of Tenant’s Extension Option Notice beyond any required Landlord notice of default to Tenant under this Lease, if any, and beyond any permitted Tenant cure period under this Lease, if any, and Landlord has not elected to deny the Tenant the option to extend the term of this Lease
due to the existence of any such uncured default; and (c) with respect to the Second Extension Period only, Tenant has duly exercised its right and option to extend the term of this Lease as set forth herein for the First Extension Period; and (d) with respect to the Third Extension Period only, Tenant has duly exercised its right and option to extend the term of this Lease as set forth herein for the Second Extension Period. If Tenant has properly given a Tenant Extension Option Notice as aforesaid and all other provisions of this Section 4 have been satisfied, then the term of this Lease shall be duly extended for the First Extension Period, the Second Extension Period, and Third Extension Period, as applicable, upon all of the same terms, provisions and conditions of the Lease, except as hereinafter provided, and all references contained in this Lease to the term hereof shall be construed to refer to the term as extended, whether or not specific reference thereto is made in this Lease.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE for all provisions of Section 4 of this Third Modification. Except as expressly set forth in this Section 4 of the Third Modification, Tenant has no other extension rights under the Lease.
5. | The base annual rental amount to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the First Extension Period, as described above in Section 4 of this Third Modification, shall be the greater of: (a) the “Fair Market Rent” for Premises as of March 31, 2030 (which is the date nine (9) months prior to the commencement of the First Extension Period); or (b) the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord during calendar year 2030. |
The base annual rental amount to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the Second Extension Period, as described above in Section 4 of this Third Modification, shall be the greater of: (a) the “Fair Market Rent” for Premises as of March 31, 2035 (which is the date nine (9) months prior to the commencement of the Second Extension Period); or (b) the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord during calendar year 2035.
The base annual rental amount to be paid by Tenant to Landlord during the Third Extension Period, as described above in Section 4 of this Third Modification, shall be the greater of: (a) the “Fair Market Rent” for Premises as of March 31, 2040 (which is the date nine (9) months prior to the commencement of the Third Extension Period); or (b) the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord during calendar year 2040.
In this Section 5 only, for the sole purpose of determining the “Fair Market Rent” of the Premises, the term “Premises” shall mean: (a) as of the date of mutual execution of this Third Modification, the entire parcel of land leased to Tenant under the Lease, the Current Building leased to Tenant under the Lease, and all other improvements (e.g. paved areas, landscaping, outbuildings, etc.) leased to Tenant under the Lease; and (b) any other improvements (if any) on the land leased to Tenant under the Lease which were paid for by Landlord hereafter; but it is specifically understood that the definition of “Premises” for sole purpose of determining the “Fair Market Rent” of the Premises under this Section 5 does NOT include the “Expansion Building” paid for by Tenant (as such “Expansion Building” is defined in this Third Modification). Throughout the balance of this Lease, the term “Premises” is not limited by the limiting language in this paragraph, but instead has the broad meaning ascribed thereto in Section 6 below and includes, without limitation, the Expansion Building.
The term “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the base annual NNN rent which would be paid in the Torrington market for space of similar type, size, construction quality and specifications, and location as the Premises in an arms-length transaction.
Upon Tenant’s exercise of the First Extension Period described in Section 4 above (and thereafter, upon Tenant’s exercise of the Second Extension Period described in Section 4 above, and thereafter, upon Tenant’s exercise of the Third Extension Period described in Section 4 above), Landlord shall by May 1, 2030 for the First Extension Period (and by May 1, 2035 for the Second Extension Period and by May 1, 2040 for the Third Extension Period), provide Tenant with written notice indicating Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period (the “Fair Market Rent Notice”). If Tenant disagrees with Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rent, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Notice indicating such disagreement (the “Disagreement Notice”). If Tenant fails to provide the Disagreement Notice in the time period required, then the base annual rent to be paid by Tenant during the applicable extension period shall be the greater of: (a) the Fair Market Rent listed in applicable Landlord’s Fair Market Rent Notice; or (b) for the First Extension Period, the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord in calendar 2030, for the Second Extension Period, the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord in calendar year 2035, and for the Third Extension Period, the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord in calendar year 2040.
If Tenant provides Landlord with the Disagreement Notice in the time period required, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt, during the next thirty (30) day period following receipt of the Disagreement Notice by Landlord, to agree on the Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach such agreement during such time period, then Landlord and Tenant shall attempt, during the subsequent thirty (30) day period, to agree on the selection of one (1) independent appraiser to be hired by Landlord and Tenant to determine the Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period, which appraiser shall make such determination of the Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period by no later than September 1, 2030 for the First Extension Period (and, thereafter, by September 1, 2035 for the Second Extension Period and, thereafter, by September 1, 2040 for the Third Extension Period). Such appraiser’s determination of the Fair Market Rent shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and the base annual rent to be paid by Tenant during the applicable extension period shall be the greater of: (a) the Fair Market Rent determined by such appraiser; and (b) for the First Extension Period, the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord in calendar 2030, and for the Second Extension Period, the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord in calendar year 2035, and for the Third Extension Period, the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord in calendar year 2040. Landlord and Tenant shall split the cost of the appraiser equally. Each appraiser designated in this Lease shall be an MAI appraiser with not less than fifteen (15) years of experience appraising similar industrial properties in the Torrington market.
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the selection of one (1) independent appraiser to determine the Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period in the time period described above, then three (3) independent appraisers shall be hired within the next thirty (30) day period (one (1) selected by Landlord to be paid for by Landlord, one (1) selected by Tenant to be paid for by Tenant, and one (1) selected by agreement of the two appraisers already selected to be paid for ½ each by Landlord and Tenant) to determine the
Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period, which appraisers shall make such determination of the Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period by no later than November 1, 2030 for the First Extension Period (and, thereafter, by November 1, 2035 for the Second Extension Period and, thereafter, by November 1, 2040 for the Third Extension Period); and in such instance, the Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period shall be the average of the rates determined independently by the three (3) appraisers. If the two appointed appraisers fail to appoint the third appraiser within 30 days of the request of either Landlord or Tenant to do so, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to request the then President (or chair) of the American Society of Appraisers-Connecticut Chapter to so appoint the third appraiser and shall advise such President (or chair) that pursuant to this provision, such President’s (or chair’s) shall have no liability or obligation to Landlord and Tenant on account of accommodating the parties by making such an appointment, and such appointment shall be binding upon the parties and enforceable in a court of law. The average of such appraisers’ determination of the Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and the base annual rent to be paid by Tenant during the applicable extension period shall be the greater of: (a) the average of such appraisers’ determination of the Fair Market Rent for the applicable extension period; or (b) for the First Extension Period, the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord in calendar 2030, and for the Second Extension Period, the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord in calendar year 2035, and for the Third Extension Period, the base annual rental being paid by Tenant to Landlord in calendar year 2040.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE for all provisions of Section 5 of this Third Modification.
6. | Tenant shall obtain approvals for and comply with, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, all federal, state and local approvals, laws, rules and regulations (collectively, the “Approvals”), necessary for the construction of an approximately 102,000 square foot addition to be built to the south of the Current Building, including appurtenant land improvements such as paved areas, sidewalks and landscaping (collectively, the 102,000 square foot addition and appurtenant land improvements to be referred to herein as the “Expansion Building” and, except as specifically otherwise provided herein, such Expansion Building shall be included within the definition of the “Premises” under this Lease. The plans and specifications for the Expansion Building shall be substantially as shown on the plans and specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A (collectively, the “Plans and Specs”); provided, however, that it is understood that as long as Xxxxxxxx Building & Engineering Co., Inc. is Tenant’s Contractor (as defined below), Tenant may make changes to the Plans and Specs, without Landlord’s prior consent, as long as structural changes to the Expansion Building have been approved in writing by Xxxxxxxx Building & Engineering Co., Inc. If Xxxxxxxx Building & Engineering Co., Inc. ceases to serve as Tenant’s Contractor, then from and after such cessation, all material changes to the Expansion Building structural elements set forth in the Plans and Specs shall require Landlord’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Landlord’s approval is not granted or denied in ten (10) Business Days, it shall be deemed granted. Notwithstanding the preceding, Tenant shall give five (5) Business Days advance notice to Landlord of any other material changes to the Plans and Specs provided that for so long as Xxxxxxxx Building & Engineering Co., Inc. is Tenant’s Contractor, notification to said Tenant’s Contractor shall be deemed adequate notice in compliance herewith with respect to notices for changes not requiring Landlord’s prior approval. Without intending to limit the Approvals to which Tenant will comply, it is specifically understood, to the extent the following requirements remain applicable to the Premises: (a) |
Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s cost, for having a Stormwater / Best Practices Agreement filed with the City of Torrington for the Premises and shall comply with the requirement of submitting an annual report of Tenant’s inspection and maintenance of the stormwater management plan and facilities to the Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Torrington no later than September 15th of each year; and (b) Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s cost, for clearing the existing stormwater detention basins of vegetation and all accumulated sediment to ensure they are performing correctly and have sufficient capacity to accommodate the proposed development as designed. “Tenant’s Contractor” shall mean the contractor selected by Tenant and assigned construction responsibility for the majority of the construction work for the Expansion Building.
7. | Miscellaneous: |
a. | Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that Tenant has already received Ten Million Dollars of loan funds from the State of Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development and that it has sufficient funds to complete the construction of the Expansion Building and pay all bills as and when due in connection therewith. |
b. | If Tenant does not use Xxxxxxxx Building and Engineering Co., Inc. as Tenant’s Contractor for the construction of the Expansion Building, Tenant must obtain Landlord’s prior written consent to the Tenant’s choice of Tenant’s Contractor, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold consent to use of a contractor for reasons including, but not limited to, Landlord’s reasonable belief formed impartially in exercise of reasonable judgment that the proposed contractor does not have reasonable adequate financial resources or adequate experience with construction projects of this nature. |
c. | Tenant will not directly or indirectly cause, create, incur, assume or allow to exist any mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, security interest, encumbrance or other claim of any nature on or with respect to the Premises or any interest of Landlord therein, including, but not limited to, the land of the Premises, the Current Building, the Expansion Building and any other improvements now or hereafter thereon, or any interest therein (collectively a “Fee Lien”). Landlord does not consent to or authorize any Fee Lien or to subordinate its fee interest to any Fee Lien, and Tenant agrees that it has no right, power or authority to grant any Fee Lien. Any purported Fee Lien shall be null, void and of no force or effect. Tenant will immediately notify Landlord in writing of the existence of any such purported Fee Lien, and notwithstanding the agreement of the parties that any such purported Fee lien is null, void and of no force or effect, Tenant will promptly cause the same to be discharged and released of record without cost to Landlord. Tenant will indemnify Landlord against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred in discharging and releasing any such purported Fee Lien. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may grant security interests in its personal property (e.g. moveable machinery and equipment but expressly excluding, without limitation, any fixtures that constitute “fixtures” under Connecticut real property law or under the Lease) located at the Premises (“Financeable Personal Property”), subject to the terms of the Lease. Landlord |
shall have the right from time to time, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to grant mortgages on its interest in the Premises (as such term “mortgages” is defined in Paragraph 30 of the original Lease as modified hereby) or to subordinate this Lease to an intervening lease or ground lease, with the understanding that the provisions of Paragraph 30 of the original Lease as modified hereby shall continue to apply. Landlord shall not, however, encumber any such Financeable Personal Property of Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the foregoing in this Lease, including, without limitation, this Section 7(c), in consideration of, and as an express condition precedent to, Tenant's agreement to permit its interest pursuant to this Lease to be subject and subordinate to the lien of any superior mortgage or any superior lease, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement executed and delivered by the holder of each superior mortgage and each lessor under each such superior lease for the benefit of Tenant and in recordable form, and Tenant agrees to execute and deliver any such commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s request therefor. Any provisions of Paragraphs 30 and 41 of the original Lease which are inconsistent with the provisions hereof are deemed modified to conform to the provisions hereof.
d. | Landlord and Tenant agree to execute simultaneously with this Third Modification a mutually acceptable Notice of Lease that does not list any of the monetary provisions of the Lease and is in compliance with the provisions of CGS Section 47-19. Tenant agrees that if this Lease shall terminate prior to the full term thereof as set forth on said notice (including any extension options), Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s request therefor, a notice of termination of said Notice of Lease in form suitable for recording on the Land Records of the City of Torrington. |
e. | Upon reasonable prior notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises to inspect the construction activities related to the Expansion Building, provided that Landlord shall not interfere with or disrupt the construction activities. Subject to events of force majeure only, Tenant shall be under an affirmative obligation, within two (2) years of commencement of said construction to: (i) substantially complete the Expansion Building construction; (ii) deliver an unconditional final Certificate of Occupancy for the Expansion Building issued by the City of Torrington to Landlord; (iii) provide Landlord at Tenant’s cost with an “as built” site plan for the Premises and updated “final” building plans and specifications from Tenant’s Contractor in commercially reasonable form; and (iv) provide Landlord with lien waivers from all parties who have performed work or provided materials to the Expansion Building; provided, however, that for so long as Xxxxxxxx Building and Engineering Co., Inc. is Tenant’s Contractor for the construction of the Expansion Building, Tenant shall be obligated to provide lien waivers with respect to the Expansion Building only for those contractors and materials suppliers whose individual aggregate contract price is $50,000 or greater (such as, but as an example only and without limitation, if a contractor has 3 separate contracts such as an initial contract of $15,000 and then 2 additional change orders of $15,000 each, no lien waiver would be required since the total contract value would only be $45,000; whereas if that contractor has one further |
contract or change order of $6,000, then a lien waiver would be required for all work performed by such contractor since its aggregate contract price would then exceed $50,000).
8. | Notwithstanding anything to contrary in the Lease (including, without limitation, Paragraph 9 thereof), and except for “Landlord’s Paragraph 9 Structural Repair Obligation” as hereinafter defined and “Landlord’s negligent acts and the negligent acts of Landlord’s agents, contractors and employees in the performance of Landlord’s Paragraph 9 Structural Repair Obligation”, throughout the term of the Lease and any extensions thereof, Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for all costs and expenses of any kind associated with the Premises (including without limitation, the Expansion Building and the Current Building) including, but not limited to, Taxes, Operating Expenses, maintenance, repair and replacement of any and all components thereof (including, but not limited to, the roof, walls, steel structure, foundation, floor, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, paved areas, sidewalks and landscaping). With respect to the preceding phrase “Landlord’s negligent acts and the negligent acts of Landlord’s agents, contractors and employees in the performance of Landlord’s Paragraph 9 Structural Repair Obligation”, it is expressly agreed that any work by Xxxxxxxx Building and Engineering Co., Inc. as Tenant’s Contractor shall in no manner be attributed to Landlord. Tenant shall at all times maintain the Premises (including without limitation, the Expansion Building and the Current Building) in a commercially reasonable manner with all systems located therein maintained in good operating condition and repair and in weather-tight condition, performing all commercially reasonable preventative maintenance in a timely manner (including, but not limited to, the HVAC, plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems), repairing and replacing the paved areas and sidewalks thereof on a regular basis to maintain them in sound condition without material defects and otherwise maintaining the same in commercially reasonable condition (but excluding any obligation to perform “Landlord’s Paragraph 9 Structural Repair Obligation”). On the expiration date or earlier termination date of the Lease, the Premises, including, but not limited to, the Current Building and Expansion Building, and all of their components required by the Lease to be maintained by Tenant, shall be returned to Landlord evidencing that they have been maintained by Tenant and are then in good operating condition and repair, weather-tight condition (subject to Landlord’s obligation to make Structural Repairs to the Current Building only, as described in Paragraph 9 of the original Lease and referred to herein as “Landlord’s Paragraph 9 Structural Repair Obligation”), and with all repairs and replacements having been completed by Tenant as described above herein and in the Lease, reasonable wear and tear and casualty (but subject to compliance by Tenant of its casualty obligations hereunder) excepted, subject to any permitted alterations which may have occurred from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Lease. The reference to reasonable wear and tear shall not be applied in such a manner as to mitigate Tenant’s obligation to maintain the Premises in good operating condition and repair and weather-tight throughout the term as hereinabove described and deliver the same to Landlord in such condition upon termination or expiration of this Lease. |
It is understood that the terms of Paragraph 12 of the original Lease apply to the Expansion Building as well, with the further understanding that the reference to “$50,000.00” in line 4 of said Paragraph 12 shall be hereby changed to “$200,000.00”. Without Landlord’s prior written consent, Tenant shall not demolish any or all of the structure of the Premises, including without limitation, the Current Building and Expansion Building (such as, but without limitation, the roof, beams, columns and foundation), and shall, in addition, not demolish or
make material alterations to the exterior walls of the Expansion Building and shall not reduce the 102,000 square foot footprint of the Expansion Building.
9. | Commencing as of the date of this Third Modification and at all times hereafter throughout the Term of this Lease, and notwithstanding provisions in the Lease to the contrary (including, without limitation, Paragraph 26 of the original Lease and Section 3 of the Modification of Lease dated December 2, 2001, each of which sections are hereby deemed deleted, null and void), Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, carry, maintain and pay the premiums upon (as and when due) the following insurance with respect to the Premises (including, without limitation, the Current Building and Expansion Building): (a) Commercial General Liability insurance coverage, written on an occurrence form, including, without limitation, coverage for bodily injury, personal injury, property damage, contractual liability and such other coverages as are available under an ISO CG 00 01 12/07 policy form, its equivalent or better, with limits of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, general aggregate and products completed operations aggregate (“GL”); and (b) Excess Liability insurance in umbrella form with limits of not less than $20,000,000 per occurrence, general aggregate and products completed operations aggregate including, without limitation, coverage for bodily injury, personal injury, property damage liability and contractual liability and such other coverages as are covered by the Commercial General Liability policy referenced above (“Excess”); (c) Building and Personal Property Coverage Form, Special Form, full replacement cost coverage including but not limited to, fire, vandalism, theft, with extended coverage, and earthquake coverage, on the Premises (“Property Casualty”); (d) Worker's Compensation and Employers Liability coverage insurance in such amounts as may be required by law or regulation; and (e) to the extent not included within the coverage required by subsection (c) immediately above, full replacement cost coverage for any fixtures and equipment which are integral to the operation of the Premises such as, but without limitation, HVAC and other building systems. The GL policy shall name Landlord and any Landlord mortgage lender as an additional insured under additional insured endorsement CG 20 10, its equivalent or better and such policy shall be primary and non-contributing. The Excess policy shall, by its terms, insure the Landlord and its mortgagee in the same manner as if Landlord and its mortgagee were named as additional insureds thereunder or Landlord and its mortgagee shall be so named under said Excess policy. If Tenant is operating in more than one state, Tenant shall include a so-called “other state coverage” endorsement. If the insurance amounts or forms of coverage referred to in this Lease become in “Landlord's reasonable judgment” inadequate, Tenant agrees to promptly procure and maintain the amounts and types of insurance as and when reasonably requested by Landlord. For purposes hereof, “Landlord's reasonable judgment” shall mean Landlord’s election to require alternate or additional coverages which are comparable to those being commonly required for similar buildings and uses within the State of Connecticut. Tenant shall procure and maintain in place at all times during construction of the Expansion Building or during any other construction activity at the Premises, at its sole cost and expense (and shall pay all premiums as and when due thereon), “builder’s risk” insurance (“Builder’s Risk”) in an amount equal to the full construction cost of the Expansion Building or such other construction work, as applicable, inclusive of all change orders, offsite work and unincorporated materials with a deductible not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) per event of loss. Any proceeds from said Builder’s Risk policy shall be first used for the reconstruction of the Expansion Building, offsite work and replacement of unincorporated materials. |
Tenant shall procure policies for all such insurance for periods of not less than one year and shall promptly deliver to Landlord certificates for such policies on Accord 28 and Accord 25, as applicable, their equivalent or better, with evidence of the payment of premiums thereon and shall procure renewals thereof from time to time at least thirty (30) days before the expiration thereof. All insurance shall be in commercially reasonable forms, contain such commercially reasonable terms and shall be issued by companies with ratings by A.M. Best of not less than A IX or better. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon written notice to Tenant, to have the original insurance policies delivered directly to and reviewed by Landlord’s insurance advisors (not more than one time per year) to confirm compliance with the provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall deliver said policies, to the extent then issued, to Landlord’s insurance advisors within ten (10) days of Landlord’s request therefor.
Upon execution of this Third Modification, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence of insurance on Accord 28 and Accord 25 compliant with the requirements hereof. The loss under policies insuring against damage to the Premises by fire or other casualty shall be payable to Landlord and Tenant, jointly, and if requested by Landlord, also to the holder of any Landlord mortgage encumbering fee title to the Premises as their interests may appear. The parties agree to cooperate with one another in connection with the collection of any insurance proceeds and awards that may be due in the event of loss. All premiums on policies referred to in this Lease shall be paid by Tenant and certificates replacing any policies expiring during the Term hereof shall be delivered to Landlord at least thirty (30) days before the date of expiration, together with proof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord that the premiums have been paid by Tenant. Every policy of insurance referred to in this Lease and each certificate therefor issued by the insurer shall (i) contain an express agreement by the insurer that no cancellation or nonrenewal thereof will be effective until at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice thereof (ten days in the case of cancellation for non-payment of premium) has been given to Landlord; (ii) with respect to the Property Casualty and Builder’s Risk policies, contain a standard mortgagee and loss payable clause in favor of Landlord and any mortgagee designated by Landlord (subject, in the case of loss payable, to joint payment with Tenant, Landlord and Landlord mortgagee), (iii) state that Landlord's and such Mortgagee's rights shall not be prejudiced by the actions or omissions of the Tenant or any other insured party thereunder; (iv) with respect to the Property Casualty and Builder’s risk policies, be on a full replacement cost basis; (v) be in such amount as to preclude application of any co-insurance provisions; (vi) shall not contain any retained risk and shall limit deductibles thereunder to Fifty Thousand ($50,000) dollars or less; (vii) be primary such that Landlord’s insurance shall not be required to respond to the insured claim; (viii) be on an occurrence basis; and (ix) otherwise comply with the terms hereof. If Tenant’s coverages shall be on a blanket basis, Tenant shall procure a so-called “per location endorsement” (or the applicable policy shall, by its terms, provide the same effective coverage) requiring that the aforesaid aggregate limits be fully applicable and available to the Premises. Landlord and any mortgagee identified by Landlord shall have the absolute right to notify the insurance carrier of changes in ownership or hazards. Tenant shall promptly advise Landlord of any policy cancellation, reduction, non-renewal, or amendment.
Tenant shall not violate or permit to be violated any of the conditions or provisions of any such policy, and Tenant shall so perform and satisfy the requirements of the companies writing such policies such that at all times companies of good standing reasonably satisfactory to Landlord shall be willing to write and/or continue such insurance. In the event
that Tenant at any time or times shall fail to obtain or maintain in full force and effect any or all of the insurance policies and coverage required of it hereunder, or should Tenant violate any of the provisions hereof, Landlord, at its election after ten (10) days written notice to Tenant (or sooner if deemed an emergency by Landlord), and directly on its own behalf or as agent for Tenant, may obtain such insurance or coverage, or additional insurance or coverage as the case may be, pay the premiums thereon or take such other steps as may be necessary to meet the requirements of this Section and thereafter, upon demand, obtain reimbursement of the costs so expended from Tenant. The failure of Landlord to obtain evidence of the required insurance coverage shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Section.
If Landlord shall be dissatisfied in its reasonable discretion with Tenant’s insurance coverages, or any of such coverages, Landlord shall have the right to procure and thereafter maintain such coverages at Tenant’s expense and, to the extent that the replacement coverages are consistent with those coverages contemplated to be maintained by Tenant by this Lease, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof upon Landlord’s invoice therefor provided that Tenant’s reimbursement obligation shall not be in excess of what Tenant would have otherwise paid had Tenant continued to carry the insurance as provided herein.
At all times during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (payable to Landlord upon receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor), carry and maintain commercial general liability and excess liability coverage, rent loss coverage (which Landlord will obtain covering an 18 month period rather than the standard 12 month period to the extent available from the Landlord’s insurance carrier), environmental coverage and such other commercially reasonable insurance coverages as Landlord shall deem reasonably necessary or appropriate.
Each party hereby waives all rights of recovery against the other for loss or injury for which such party shall be liable to the other for any damage, loss or injury arising from the risks or perils to the extent insured against under any insurance policy maintained under this Lease. The Property Casualty policy, Builder’s Risk policy and Worker’s Compensation policy shall each contain a waiver of subrogation clause with respect to all claims against Landlord and its mortgagee.
Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9, all other provisions of the Lease, as previously modified, related to insurance shall continue in full force and effect except as modified by this Third Modification.
10. | All sections of Paragraph 31 of the original Lease entitled “Destruction or Damage” are hereby deleted and replaced with the terms of this Section 10. |
Tenant shall have no right to terminate the Lease based on a casualty to the Premises, and Tenant waives any rights now or hereafter conferred upon it by statute or otherwise to quit and surrender this Lease or the Premises or any part thereof. In case of any casualty to the Premises, and notwithstanding any provision in the Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall promptly give written notice thereof to Landlord. Tenant shall be responsible, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, for the repair and restoration of the Premises (including, without limitation, the Current Building and Expansion Building although the occasional references in this Third Modification thereto shall not be deemed to otherwise limit the scope of the
defined term Premises which is and shall be deemed to always include the Current Building, Expansion Building and all other components of the property described herein above as the Premises), which repair and restoration Tenant shall complete in a commercially reasonable and timely manner under the circumstances but in no case later than eighteen (18) months following the date of casualty. The proceeds of the aforesaid property insurance shall be first used for the Tenant’s repair and restoration obligations herein described with respect to the Premises. Landlord, Landlord’s mortgagee (if any), and Tenant agree to cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner in order to promptly effectuate the release of the insurance proceeds from said insurance.
If the Premises, or any portion thereof is rendered untenantable due to an occurrence of a casualty, all rent obligations of Tenant shall be equitably abated by Landlord from the date of such casualty to the date of restoration or repair of the Premises by Tenant, but in no case shall the period of rent abatement hereunder extend beyond that date which is eighteen (18) months following the date of such casualty, time being of the essence thereto.
11. | Provided Tenant shall not be in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to purchase the Premises from Landlord (the “Purchase Option”) at any time during the Fifteen Year Term but in no event later than December 31, 2030, by giving Landlord a minimum of six (6) months prior written notice (the “Exercise Notice”). Tenant’s Purchase Option as described in this Section 11 shall lapse and be null and void: (a) if Tenant has not provided Landlord with an Exercise Notice on or before June 30, 2030, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE; (b) if Tenant has provided an Exercise Notice but thereafter rescinds such exercise under a permitted circumstance as specifically described in Exhibit B, in which case Tenant may not Exercise the Purchase Option again; or (c) Tenant defaults on its obligation to purchase as described in the “Default” clause in Exhibit B, in which case Tenant may not Exercise the Purchase Option again. Upon Landlord’s receipt of the Exercise Notice from Tenant, the provisions of Exhibit B hereto shall be deemed “Activated” (as that term is defined in Exhibit B) and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and acknowledge that, on the date of the execution hereof, Exhibit B as attached hereto is not in force or effect and is not binding upon the parties hereto. Only once Activated shall the provisions and obligations of the parties as set forth therein be deemed to be in full force and effect, incorporated herein and binding upon the parties. Until the Closing (as defined in said Exhibit B) shall have occurred, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the Lease shall be and remain in full force and effect; and effective as of the Closing, the Lease shall be deemed terminated as though by lapse of time rather than as by mutual agreement of the parties (and this provision shall survive the termination of the Lease). This Purchase Option is not severable from the Lease, is personal to FuelCell Energy, Inc. and may only be exercised by FuelCell Energy, Inc. or its “Successor by Merger” (as hereinafter defined), but FuelCell Energy, Inc. (or its “Successor by Merger”) may close the purchase of the Premises in its own name or the name of a “nominee” pursuant to the specific terms described in Exhibit B. If Exhibit B is “Activated”, but the Closing does not occur for any reason, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. |
12. | Landlord warrants that Landlord has not utilized any real estate broker in connection with this Third Modification, and therefore, Landlord shall not be responsible for any brokerage fees in connection with this Third Modification. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has utilized a Tenant’s broker (Jones, Lang, Lasalle of Stamford, Connecticut) in connection with this |
Third Modification (the “Tenant’s Broker”), and Tenant agrees that Tenant shall be solely responsible for any brokerage fees of said Tenant’s Broker. Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless against any claim by said Tenant’s Broker for a brokerage fee in connection with this Third Modification. Landlord and Tenant agree that if any other person or entity makes a claim for brokerage fees or real estate fees of any kind related to this Third Modification and such claim is made by, through or on account of any acts or alleged acts of said party or its representatives, said party will protect, indemnify, defend, and hold the other party free and harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage, and expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) in connection therewith.
13. | Miscellaneous Matters: |
a. | Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord has complied with its obligations under Paragraph 8 of the original Lease. |
b. | Without limitation to the provisions hereof, it is expressly agreed that the term Premises as used in Paragraph 11 of the Lease includes the Expansion Building. |
c. | Paragraph 22 of the original Lease is deleted and the following is inserted in lieu thereof: “Tenant covenants and agrees that it will not assign this Lease or sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include the granting of concessions, licenses, interests and the like) the whole or any part of the Premises or any interest therein without in each instance having first received the express prior written consent of the Landlord, and any applicable mortgage lender. No such assignment or sublease shall be valid without Landlord's and such mortgage holder's prior written consent. In addition, for the purposes of this Lease the sale or transfer of any of the stock, partnership, limited partnership, membership interest or any other direct or indirect beneficial ownership interest or control in the Tenant, or the stock or partnership, limited partnership, membership or any other direct or indirect interest or control in the parent entity of the Tenant shall be treated as if such sale or transfer were, for all purposes, an assignment of this Lease and shall be governed by the provisions hereof. If this Lease be assigned, or if the Premises or any part thereof be sublet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Landlord may collect rents and other charges from the assignee, subtenant or occupant and apply the net amount so collected to the rents and other charges herein reserved. No such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Section or acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as a tenant under this Lease. Tenant shall, notwithstanding any approved or unapproved assignment or sublet, remain jointly and severally liable under this Lease. Any such assignee shall assume, jointly and severally with Tenant, all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, and shall attorn to Landlord. Any such assignee, sublessee or occupant shall, with Tenant, if so requested by Landlord, execute Landlord's form of Consent to Assignment or Consent to Sublet, as applicable, which shall be prepared by Landlord. Landlord's consent to an assignment or sublet shall not be deemed a waiver of Tenant's or such assignee's or sublessee's obligation to seek Landlord's approval for any future assignment or sublet. |
Notwithstanding the preceding prohibition, Tenant shall have the following rights with respect to the assignment, transfer or sublease of all the Premises (referred to hereinafter as a “Transfer”): (1) Without the necessity of Landlord’s consent, but with ten (10) business days prior written notice to Landlord (“Prior Assignment Notice”) and the advance provision to Landlord of commercially reasonable evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, Tenant may Transfer by means of a merger or consolidation of its entire operation and assets; (2) Without the necessity of Landlord’s consent, but with
Prior Assignment Notice to Landlord and the advance provision to Landlord of commercially reasonable evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, Tenant may Transfer to any buyer of all or substantially all of (or any Tenant affiliate or related company acquiring all or substantially all of) (a) the business operations of Tenant, (b) Tenant’s assets or (c) Tenant’s stock, partnership interests, member interests or other beneficial ownership interests. It is expressly agreed that if the Tenant is at any time a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange or other Stock Exchange, the sale or transfer of any share of its traded stock shall not require any consent or approval from Landlord. In addition, Prior Assignment Notice shall not be required in those cases where Tenant is a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange or other Stock Exchange and it is precluded from giving Prior Assignment Notice pursuant to applicable securities laws or in those cases where it is prohibited from doing so pursuant to a confidentiality agreement to which it is bound; but in each such case, it shall give the required notice not later than ten (10) business days after the closing of the subject transaction or if earlier, by the date it is no longer prohibited from giving such notice. The party succeeding to Tenant’s interests under this Lease pursuant to the Transfers permitted in subsection (1) and (2) immediately above is referred to in this Lease as a “Successor by Merger”.
d. | Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that it exists as a limited liability company under Connecticut law, has full limited liability company power and authority to enter into and consummate this Third Modification and any purchase of the Premises consummated in connection herewith, and that this Third Modification was executed and delivered by Landlord and is binding upon Landlord, its successors and assigns. Landlord further represents to Tenant that any documents executed and delivered by Landlord to Tenant on account of the purchase transaction contemplated by this Third Modification shall be duly authorized, executed and delivered by Landlord and binding upon Landlord, its successors and assigns. Landlord’s aforesaid representation shall survive the consummation of any purchase transaction herein contemplated. |
14. | Except as specifically modified herein, the Lease, as previously modified, shall remain in full force and effect. |

EXHIBIT B
Purchase and Sale Terms and Conditions
Activation of Purchase and Sale Terms. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that on the date of the execution of the Third Modification to which this exhibit is attached (referred to herein as the “Third Modification” and the lease as amended thereby being referred to herein as the “Lease”), this Exhibit B is not in force or effect and no rights or obligations are created or arise hereunder. In the event that Tenant shall exercise the Purchase Option as and when required pursuant to Section --11 of the Third Modification (“Exercise”), then and only then, shall the terms hereof be automatically and concurrently deemed to have been “Activated” and as such, the terms, conditions, provisions, rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant set forth herein shall be deemed to be in full force and effect and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Lease.
Agreement/Closing. Upon Exercise, Landlord agrees to sell and convey to Tenant or Tenant’s nominee (as identified to Landlord by written notice from Tenant provided at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing), and Tenant agrees to purchase from Landlord, all of Landlord's right, title and interest in and to Premises, including all improvements thereon and appurtenances thereto. Transfer of title to the Premises and payment of the Purchase Price (the "Closing") shall occur at 10:00am (Hartford, Connecticut time) at Landlord’s counsel’s office, on such date which is six (6) months after the date of Exercise or such earlier date after such Exercise as selected by Landlord by providing Tenant at least twenty (20) days prior written notice.
Purchase Price. Tenant shall pay to Landlord at time of Closing as full consideration for the Premises, the total sum of Four Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 ($4,750,000.00) Dollars ("Purchase Price"). At time of Exercise, Tenant shall deposit the sum of Two Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 ($237,500.00) Dollars with a national title insurance company mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, with offices in Hartford County, Connecticut (the “Escrow Agent”), to be held and disbursed for the benefit of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to the terms hereof (the “Deposit”). The parties agree to execute a commercially reasonable escrow rider if required by the Escrow Agent. All payments required to be made hereunder by Tenant shall be made by wire transfer of good and immediately available US Dollars into an account designated by the Escrow Agent.
No Reliance; Independent Investigation. The Premises shall be sold and conveyed strictly on an "as is", "where is" and "with all defects" basis, without representation, warranty or covenant, express, implied or statutory, of any kind whatsoever, including, without limitation, representation, warranty or covenant as to condition. Tenant hereby, on behalf of itself and all those claiming by or through it, irrevocably and unconditionally releases Landlord from, and this clause bars all past, present or future claims, whether or not presently known, which could be brought by Tenant and all those claiming by or through Tenant, concerning, the condition of the Premises and all aspects and attributes thereof, specifically including, without limitation, all claims pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, and any other environmental laws. The provisions of this subsection shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
Landlord’s Closing Deliveries. At Closing, Landlord shall deliver the following to Tenant:
Deed of Conveyance. A fully executed, witnessed and acknowledged Connecticut form of Special Warranty Deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, subject to, and without limitation: (a) any and all provisions of any ordinance, municipal regulation, or public or private law; (b) any declarations, restrictions, covenants, matters and easements of record; (c) any state of facts which an accurate survey or personal inspection of the Premises might reveal; (d) property taxes; (e) those encumbrances listed on Tenant’s title report to the extent applicable; and (f) rights of tenants and parties in possession. As an inducement to Tenant to accept the exclusion set forth in subsection (f) immediately preceding this sentence, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the date hereof (and as of the date of Closing unless otherwise agreed to by Tenant), that Landlord has not and shall not enter any leases or other agreements permitting occupancy of the Premises to any party other than Tenant and those claiming by or through Tenant (excluding any matter as of record may appear as of the date hereof, if any), and this representation shall survive consummation of the Closing.
Tenant shall have sixty (60) days following the date of Exercise of the Purchase Option to perform an initial examination of title and shall provide a copy of such initial examination to Landlord not later than the expiration of said sixty (60) day period. If Landlord’s title is not good and marketable fee simple title, then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof not later than three (3) days following the expiration of the said sixty (60) day period, and Landlord shall have ninety (90) days thereafter to attempt to cure such defect (although Landlord shall be under no obligation to so cure). In addition, if Tenant shall thereafter perform a subsequent title examination and title to the Premises has, subsequent to Tenant’s initial examination, been further encumbered by a matter not of record as of the date of Tenant’s initial title examination referenced above, and on account thereof title is unmarketable, then Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord together with a copy of such subsequent title examination together with details of the alleged defect, and Landlord shall have the same rights as aforesaid to endeavor to cure the same (although Landlord shall be under no obligation to do so) and to extend the Closing for up to thirty (30) days for such endeavor (the “Thirty Day Extension Period”). If Landlord shall be unable or unwilling to cure such defect by the expiration of the Thirty Day Extension Period, Landlord shall advise Tenant thereof in writing, and within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice from Landlord, the Tenant may withdraw its Exercise of the Purchase Option by giving a notice of termination to Landlord, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE to the above timeframes. If Tenant shall not terminate this Exercise as and when required hereby, Tenant’s right to terminate under this title inspection provision shall be null and void and Tenant shall accept title to the Premises at Closing as is and subject to, without limitation, such defect(s). If Tenant shall elect to terminate this Exercise under this title inspection provision in a timely manner, the Deposit shall be refunded to Tenant, in which case Section 11 of the Third Modification and Exhibit B shall be of no further legal effect and the Lease shall remain otherwise in full force and effect. Marketability of title shall be determined in accordance with the Standards of Title of the Connecticut Bar Association (“Standards”). It is also agreed that any and all defects in or encumbrances against the title which come within the scope of said Standards shall not constitute a valid objection on the part of the Tenant if such Standards do not so provide, provided that the Landlord furnishes any affidavits or other instruments which may be required by the applicable Standards (although Landlord shall have no obligation to so do). No provision herein shall be deemed to constitute a representation or warranty of Landlord, or impose any obligation on Landlord with respect to the condition or status of title to the Premises.
Miscellaneous. Landlord shall deliver properly completed and executed state and municipal conveyance tax statements; a certification signed by Landlord affirming, that, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge and other than work authorized by Tenant or those claiming by or through Tenant, no work has been performed at or materials supplied to the Premises within the ninety (90) day period preceding the Closing (or properly executed lien waivers of the same in lieu thereof, where applicable) and that there are no tenants in possession other than the Tenant, but taking exception for any actions or omissions of the Tenant and any other tenants or occupants of the Premises; and Foreign Investment for Real Property Tax Act. Each of the parties shall execute and deliver such other commercially reasonable documents as shall be customary to a closing of commercial property located in Litchfield County, Connecticut, including, without limitation, authorizing resolutions and any documents reasonably required by Tenant’s title insurance company, provided that such documents shall not alter the allocation of responsibility or liability as set forth in this Exhibit B. Landlord and Tenant warrant to each other that they know of no person, firm or corporation who is entitled to a brokerage fee or real estate fee arising out of the sale of the Premises contemplated herein. The parties agree that if any person or entity makes a claim for brokerage fees or real estate fees of any kind related to the sale of the Premises by Landlord to Tenant and such claim is made by, through or on account of any acts or alleged acts of said party or its representatives, said party will protect, indemnify, defend and hold the other party free and harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense (including reasonable attorneys fees) in connection therewith.
Destruction In the event that the improvements which constitute the Premises (inclusive of the Current Building and Expansion Building) are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty after Exercise but prior to Closing and the estimated cost of restoration of said improvements thereof is greater than $1,000,000.00 as determined by the adjuster at the insurance company issuing the property casualty policy on the Premises, then Landlord (or Tenant if it gets the notice) will notify Tenant (or Landlord as applicable) in writing (the “Landlord’s Damage Notice”), and Tenant shall have the right to rescind the Exercise of the Purchase Option by written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s Damage Notice, in which case Tenant’s Exercise of the Purchase Option under Section 11 of the Third Modification and this Exhibit B shall be of no further legal effect and the Lease shall remain otherwise in full force and effect.
If Tenant does not rescind the Exercise of the Purchase Option as aforesaid or if the damage to the improvements is less than $1,000,000.00 determined as aforesaid, then the Exercise shall remain in full force and effect without reduction to the Purchase Price and the Landlord shall release to the Tenant at the time of the Closing any interest it may have in and to all monies payable to Landlord by reason of such damage or loss to said improvements, reduced as the case may be, by any funds theretofore expended for adjusting the claim and repairing said damage, and the Landlord shall further assign and transfer to the Tenant all right, title and interest in and to any additional money that may be payable under such insurance policies by reason of such casualty to the extent such sums relate to the said improvements. Nothing herein in this Exhibit B shall be deemed to obligate Landlord in any regard to undertake any repair, restoration, replacement or remedy of damage to the Premises with respect to any casualty.
Condemnation, In the event the entire Premises, a substantial portion of the Premises which includes material parking or loading dock areas such that Tenant could not reasonably operate its business in the manner to which it was accustomed, reasonable vehicular access to the Premises such that Tenant could not reasonably operate its business in the manner to which it was accustomed or any portion of the Current Building or Expansion Building at the Premises is taken by eminent
domain proceedings after Exercise but prior to Closing (each a “Material Taking”), then Tenant shall have the option to elect to rescind its Exercise by written notice to Landlord provided within fifteen (15) days after such Material Taking; and in such case, Section 11 of the Third Modification and Exhibit B shall be of no further legal effect and the rights between the parties shall be as otherwise described in the Lease (and the Lease shall not terminate, but shall otherwise remain in full force and effect). If Tenant does not elect to rescind its Exercise on account of a Material Taking as described herein, Landlord shall turn over to Tenant at Closing all monies paid to and actually received by Landlord by reason of such eminent domain proceedings, provided Landlord may deduct therefrom so much as shall have been reasonably expended by Landlord on account of such eminent domain proceedings, and Landlord shall further assign and transfer to Tenant all right, title and interest in and to any additional money that may be payable by reason of such eminent domain proceedings to the extent they relate to the Premises. Nothing in this Exhibit B shall be deemed to obligate Landlord in any regard to undertake any repair, restoration, replacement or remedy of damage to the Premises with respect to any condemnation.
Adjustments Adjustments will be made as of the time of the Closing in accordance with the regularly accepted practices of the Litchfield County Bar Association for commercial property in Torrington, Connecticut. Notwithstanding the foregoing, since Tenant is responsible under the Lease for payment of all real estate taxes associated with the Premises, no adjustment shall be made in favor of Tenant at Closing for real estate taxes; and further, no adjustment shall be made in favor of Tenant at Closing for any other items which are Tenant’s responsibility to pay anyway as Tenant under the terms of the Lease. Tenant agrees to assume and pay the taxes and other adjustment items assessed but not yet payable as part consideration for the sale. Special assessments, if any, shall be assumed by Tenant.
Transfer Act. If, as of the Closing, the Property has been determined to be an “establishment” under the “Transfer Act” (C.G.S. Section 22a-134 et seq.), the Tenant agrees that it shall, in connection with the purchase and sale of the Premises, assume all obligations under the Transfer Act, including the payment of all fees and the filing of any necessary Forms thereunder, as the responsible and certifying party, and shall comply with said Transfer Act in connection with the Closing, and thereafter hold harmless, defend and indemnify the Landlord from any liability, cost or expense associated with the application of the Transfer Act to the transaction herein contemplated and the Premises. Tenant shall, in such case, provide Landlord with reasonable evidence on or before Closing of Tenant’s compliance with the Transfer Act (e.g. copy of check for filing fees, copy of all forms to be filed, etc.), and the Premises shall be conveyed (and the Deed of conveyance shall so state in form prepared by Landlord’s counsel) in its “As Is Condition” subject to any and all environmental contamination, if any. Within fifteen (15) days after Tenant’s Exercise of the Purchase Option, each of Landlord and Tenant agrees to provide the other with a copy of any environmental reports in such party’s possession related to the Premises and, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the determination of each party’s environmental engineer as to the applicability of the Transfer Act. If there is a dispute as to the applicability of the Transfer Act, Landlord’s independent environmental engineering firm shall make the final determination which shall be binding upon the parties. This provision shall survive the Closing and transfer of title as though contained in the deed of conveyance.
Default. Because (i) anticipated damages hereunder are uncertain in amount and difficult to prove, (ii) the parties hereto wish to liquidate said damages in advance, and (iii) monies paid pursuant to this Exhibit B are not greatly disproportionate to the damage reasonably anticipated in the event of default, it is further agreed that if the Landlord is ready, willing and able to perform,
but the Tenant fails to perform in accordance with the provisions hereof, after all applicable notice and cure periods, the Landlord’s sole remedy shall be that the Tenant shall forfeit all claim and right to purchase the Premises (including any right to thereafter purchase the Premises under the Lease) and shall forfeit all monies paid pursuant to this Exhibit B (including the Deposit), together with all interest earned thereon, which sum shall be liquidated damages and shall become the sole property of the Landlord and in such event this Exhibit B and Section 11 of the Third Modification shall terminate and become null and void and all parties hereto shall be released from any liability hereunder and under Section 11 of the Third Modification and Tenant may not Exercise the Purchase Option again, but nothing herein shall terminate the Lease and Tenant’s obligations thereunder as Tenant. In the event Landlord defaults by failing to meet its obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit B after all applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be to either: (a) terminate the purchase and sale transaction contemplated herein without further liability or obligation to either party under this Exhibit B, the Deposit shall be returned to Tenant and Section 11 of the Third Modification and the Lease shall otherwise remain in full force and effect; or (b) demand specific performance of the purchase right described herein.
1031 Exchange. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Landlord may elect to complete an Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 tax deferred exchange in connection with the transaction contemplated by the provisions of Section 11 of the Third Modification and this Exhibit B. The parties agree that the Landlord’s rights and obligations under the provisions of Section 11 of the Third Modification and this Exhibit B may be assigned or partially assigned to an intermediary of the Landlord’s choice for the purpose of completing such an exchange, and that the Landlord may take and require the Tenant to take such other actions as are reasonably required to consummate such an exchange. Tenant agrees to cooperate with the Landlord and the intermediary in a manner necessary to complete the exchange provided that such cooperation does not cause Tenant to incur any additional liability, does not delay the transaction contemplated herein and does not cost Tenant any additional sum (unless Landlord agrees to pay such additional sum on Tenant’s behalf).
Rescission. Upon any permitted rescission of the Exercise of the Purchase Option by Tenant as described in this Exhibit B, the Deposit shall be returned to Tenant, but it is understood that: (a) the Lease shall remain in full force and effect; and (b) Tenant’s rights under this Exhibit B and Section 11 of the Third Modification shall thereafter be null and void such that Tenant may not Exercise the Purchase Option again.
