(4)       Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date. The “Expansion Premises
Rent Commencement Date” shall be the date that is the earlier of (i) July 1,
2021 or (ii) the date Tenant occupies any part of the Expansion Premises for the
Permitted Use, except that the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date shall
be extended by the number of days (if any) that Tenant’s Expansion Premises Work
is delayed by reason of Landlord Delays. Neither the installation of any
furniture, fixtures or equipment in the Expansion Premises nor the performance
of Tenant’s Work in the Expansion Premises shall be considered to be “occupancy
of the Expansion Premises for the Permitted Uses” for the purposes of this
Subparagraph (4).

 

(5)       Landlord Delay. For the purposes of this Second Amendment, a “Landlord
Delay” shall be defined as any delay in the Tenant’s Expansion Premises Work to
the extent caused by any default by Landlord under the Lease. Landlord shall not
be charged with any period of Landlord Delay prior to the time that Landlord
receives written notice from Tenant of such Landlord Delay.

 

(6)       Rent Year. For the purposes of this Second Amendment, from and after
the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date, the first “Rent Year” shall be
defined as the period commencing on the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement
Date and ending on the day immediately preceding the first anniversary of the
Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date, except that if the Expansion Premises
Rent Commencement Date does not occur on the first day of a calendar month, then
the first Rent Year shall expire on the last day of the calendar month in which
the first (1st) anniversary of the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date
occurs. Thereafter, each subsequent twelve-(12)-month period during the Term of
this Lease commencing as of any anniversary of the Expansion Premises Rent
Commencement Date shall be deemed to be a Rent Year, except that Rent Year 10
shall commence as of the ninth (9th) anniversary of the Expansion Premises Rent
Commencement Date and shall expire on the Extended Expiration Date.

 

B.       Condition of Expansion Premises. Landlord shall deliver the Expansion
Premises to Tenant, and Tenant shall accept the Expansion Premises from
Landlord, in “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” condition, and with all faults on the Expansion
Premises Term Commencement Date, without representations or warranties, express
or implied, in fact or by law, except that:

 

(1)       Landlord shall deliver the Expansion Premises in the same condition as
the Expansion Premises are in as of the Execution Date, reasonable wear and
tear, and damage by fire or other casualty excepted, broom clean, and free and
clear of any occupants and all their property, other than such furniture,
fixtures and equipment (if any) left by Dicerna in the Expansion Premises
pursuant to a mutually acceptable agreement which may be entered into between
Dicerna and Tenant);

(2)       Landlord shall deliver the Decommissioning Documentation to Tenant, as
set forth above, and

 

(3)       the foregoing shall not relieve Landlord of its repair and maintenance
obligations under the Lease.

 

C.       Delay in the Expansion Premises Term Commencement Date. Subject to the
provisions of this Section 2C, Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of the
Expansion Premises to Tenant by the Estimated Expansion Premises Term
Commencement Date shall in no way affect the validity of this Second Amendment
or the obligations of Tenant hereunder; Landlord shall not be liable for a
failure to deliver possession of the Expansion Premises or any other space due
to the holdover or unlawful possession of such space by Dicerna, and Tenant
shall not have any claim against Landlord by reason thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, and as Tenant’s sole remedies, both in law and in equity in the event
of any delay in the Expansion Premises Term Commencement Date:

 

(1)       Hold Over by Dicerna. If Dicerna holds over in the Expansion Premises
beyond the expiration of the term of the Dicerna Lease, then: (i) Landlord shall
use commercially reasonable efforts (including commencement of a summary process
action) to recover the Expansion Premises from Dicerna as soon as reasonably
possible, (ii) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover any
Hold Over Premium, as hereinafter defined, payable by Dicerna to Landlord, and
(iii) Landlord shall pay to Tenant the net (i.e., net of reasonable attorneys’
fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in attempting to recover any Hold Over
Premium) amount of any Hold Over Premium actually received by Landlord from
Dicerna pursuant to the Dicerna Lease with respect to its use and occupation of
the Expansion Premises after the termination of the term of the Dicerna Lease.
The “Hold Over Premium” shall be defined as the amount which Dicerna is required
to pay to Landlord on account of its occupancy of the Expansion Premises after
the termination of the term of the Dicerna Lease in excess of the amount which
Dicerna would have been required to pay to Landlord on account of such hold over
period had the term of the Dicerna Lease been extended through the hold over
period on the same terms as were in effect immediately prior to the expiration
of the Dicerna Lease.

 

(2)       Tenant’s Termination Right. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
Expansion Premises Term Commencement Date shall not have occurred on or before
the Outside Date, as hereinafter defined, then Tenant shall have the right,
exercisable by a written thirty-(30)-day termination notice given by Tenant to
Landlord on or after the Outside Date, to cancel this Second Amendment and to
render it void and without further force or effect. The “Outside Date” shall be
defined as June 1, 2021. If the Expansion Premises Term Commencement Date occurs
on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after Landlord receives such termination
notice, Tenant’s termination notice shall be deemed to be void and of no force
or effect. If the Expansion Premises Term Commencement Date does not occur on or
before such thirtieth (30th) day, then: (i) Landlord shall promptly return the
Expansion Premises Security Deposit to Tenant, and (ii) this Second Amendment
shall be void and without further force or effect, except that Tenant shall
continue to be entitled to receive the net amount of any Hold Over Premium
actually received by Landlord from Dicerna.

E.       Additional Rent. Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Share of Operating
Costs and Tenant’s Share of Taxes and utilities, all with respect to the
Expansion Premises shall commence as of the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement
Date. Therefore, commencing as of the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date,
and continuing thereafter throughout the remainder of the Term of the Lease: (w)

Costs to Landlord in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2(c) of the
Lease, (y) Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Taxes to Landlord in accordance

Landlord exercises its right, as set forth in Section 2.2(b) of the Lease, to
subject the Property to a Condominium and/or an REA, then, except for Excluded
Costs (as defined in Section 5.2(b) of the Lease, common area changes payable

any costs under the REA which are chargeable to the Building shall be included
in Operating Costs.

Tenant’s sole cost and expense (subject to Tenant’s right to apply Landlord’s
Second Amendment Contribution) perform all work which Tenant deems necessary:
(i) to prepare the Expansion Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy (“Tenant’s
Expansion Premises Work”) and (ii) to refurbish the Existing Premises (“Tenant’s
Existing Premises Work”). Collectively, Tenant’s Expansion Premises Work and
Tenant’s Existing Premises Work are known as “Tenant’s Work”. Tenant’s Work

Therefore, Tenant confirms and agrees that it shall comply with the provisions
of Section 4.3 of the Lease with respect to such Acid Neutralization Tank,
including, without limitation, obtaining an MWRA Permit prior to commencing to
use such Acid Neutralization Tank.

 

5.       PARKING.

 

A.       Expansion Premises Parking. In addition to Tenant’s right to use the
forty-five (45) parking spaces (the “Parking Spaces”) set forth in Section
1.3(b) of the Lease with respect to the Existing Premises, commencing as of the
Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date and continuing thereafter throughout
the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall have the right to use an additional
fifty-six (56) parking spaces in connection with Tenant’s lease of the Expansion
Premises (the “Expansion Premises Parking”), for a total of 101 parking spaces
available to Tenant (the “Total Parking Spaces”). Tenant’s use of the Expansion
Premises Parking shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth
in said Section 1.3(b) of the Lease, as amended by this Section 5.

 

B.       Garage. The parties hereby acknowledge that Landlord intends to build a
new building to be known as and numbered 101 CambridgePark Drive (“New
Building”) and a garage (the “Garage”) under the New Building. Upon the
completion of the Garage: (i) all of the Parking Spaces available for Tenant’s
use shall be located in the Garage, the surface parking area serving the
Building, and (ii) Tenant shall pay Monthly Parking Fees to Landlord for the use
of each Parking Space made available to Tenant pursuant to the Lease, as amended
by this Second Amendment, a monthly parking fee equal to the greater of: (i)
$150.00 per space per month, or (ii) the Prevailing Monthly Parking Rate, as
hereinafter defined. The “Prevailing Monthly Parking Rate” shall be the monthly
rate charged, from time to time, to the public for parking in structured garages
located in the geographic area shown on Exhibit C, Second Amendment. As of the
Execution Date of this Second Amendment, the Prevailing Monthly Parking Rate is
estimated to be $150.00 per Parking Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
event Landlord elects not to construct the Garage, Tenant shall commence paying
Monthly Parking Fees to Landlord commencing on May 1, 2023, and continuing
through the remainder of the Term of the Lease. Monthly Parking Fees shall be
considered additional rent and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord on the
first day of each month in advance at the same time and in the same manner as
Base Rent is payable by Tenant to Landlord.

 

C.       Landlord’s Right to Temporarily Relocate Parking Spaces. As
contemplated pursuant to Section 1.3(b) of the Lease, upon at least three (3)
months’ prior notice, Landlord has the right to temporarily relocate all, or a
portion, of the Parking Spaces. The parties confirm that Landlord shall retain
such right as set forth in Section 1.3(b), except that: (i) notwithstanding the
provisions of clause (i) in Section 1.3(b), the duration of such relocation
shall be not more than twenty-four (24) months, and (ii) Landlord may
temporarily relocate some of, or all of, the Parking Spaces to other parking
areas owned, controlled or leased by Landlord in the geographic area shown on

in place of Exhibit 2-1 of the Lease.

6.       LANDLORD’ NOTICE ADDRESS. For all purposes of the Lease, the Notice
address for Landlord set forth in Section 24 of the Lease is hereby deleted in
its entirety, and the following address is substituted therefor:

 

“If to Landlord: HCP/King 87 CPD LLC   c/o King Street Properties   800 Boylston

7.       SECURITY DEPOSIT. Reference is made to the fact that Landlord is
currently holding a Security Deposit in the amount of $1,333,812.00 in the form
of a letter of credit (the “Existing Security Deposit”) pursuant to the
provisions of Article 7 of the Lease. No additional security deposit will be
required with respect to the Expansion Premises and Landlord shall continue to
hold the Existing Security Deposit throughout the Term. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, provided that (x) the Merger has occurred, (y) UCB has executed and
delivered to Landlord a guaranty in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E,
Second Amendment, which guaranty shall remain in full force and effect
throughout the Term, and (z) there is then no existing Event of Default by
Tenant under the Lease (collectively, the “Reduction Conditions”), Tenant may
request a reduction in the amount of the Existing Security Deposit to
$500,000.00 (the “Reduced Security Deposit”).

 

Tenant shall request such reduction in a written notice to Landlord (the
“Reduction Notice”), and if Landlord, in good faith, determines that the
Reduction Conditions have been satisfied, Landlord shall, within five (5)
business days of its receipt of such Reduction Notice, so notify Tenant,
whereupon Tenant shall deliver to Landlord either: (i) a substitute letter of
credit (the “Substitute Letter of Credit”) in the amount of the Reduced Security
Deposit, in form satisfying the requirements of this Section 7 and Article 7 of
the Lease, or (ii) an amendment to the existing letter of credit, in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord, reducing the amount of the Existing
Security Deposit to the Reduced Security Deposit amount. If Tenant delivers to
Landlord a Substitute Letter of Credit satisfying the foregoing requirements, as
aforesaid, then Landlord shall exchange the existing letter of credit which
Landlord is then holding for such Substitute Letter of Credit within ten (10)
days after Landlord receives such Substitute Letter of Credit from Tenant. If
Landlord declines to reduce the Existing Security Deposit based upon the fact
that any of the Reduction Conditions have not been satisfied, but Tenant
subsequently satisfies the Reduction Conditions, then Tenant may submit a new
Reduction Notice to Landlord for the reduction in the Security Deposit in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.

In no event shall the Reduced Security Deposit ever be less than $500,000.00.
The Reduced Security Deposit shall continue to be held by Landlord throughout
the Term of the Lease.

 

8.       MONUMENT SIGN. Tenant acknowledges that, in connection with the
construction of the New Building, Landlord intends, at Landlord’s sole cost, to
replace the existing Monument Sign serving the Building with a new Monument Sign
(“New Monument Sign”) which will identify tenants of both the Building and the
New Building. Upon completion of the New Monument Sign, Tenant’s name shall be
listed on the New Monument with signage facia similar to Tenant’s signage on the
existing Monument Sign.

 

9.       ESTOPPEL. Each party (the “Certifying Party”) hereby certifies to the
other party (the “Other Party”) that, to the best of the knowledge of the
Certifying Party, the Other Party is not, as of the Execution Date of this
Second Amendment, in default of its obligations under the Lease.

 

10.     BROKER. Tenant and Landlord each warrants and represents that it has
dealt with no broker, other than CBRE/New England (“Broker”) in connection with
the consummation of this Second Amendment. Tenant and Landlord each agrees to
defend, indemnify and save the other harmless from and against any Claims
arising in breach of the representation and warranty set forth in the
immediately preceding sentence. So long as Tenant does not exercise its
termination right pursuant to Section 2C(2) above, Landlord shall be responsible
for the commission payable to Broker in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Second Amendment pursuant to a separate agreement between
Landlord and Broker.

 

11.     DELETED LEASE PROVISIONS

 

A.      Deleted Lease Provisions. Section 1.2 (Extension Term) and Exhibit 11
(Right of First Offer) of the Lease are hereby deleted in their entirety and are
of no further force and effect.

 

B.      Inapplicable Lease Provisions. Section 3, Exhibit 4, and Exhibit 11-1 of
the Lease shall have no applicability with respect to this Second Amendment.

 

12.     CONFLICT. In the event that any of the provisions of the Lease are
inconsistent with this Second Amendment or the state of facts contemplated
hereby, the provisions of this Second Amendment shall control.

shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Lease. As hereby amended,

Section 11, Exhibit 4, Exhibit 7, and Exhibit 9-2 of the Lease, and this Exhibit
A, Second Amendment). Tenant’s Work shall be performed at Tenant’s sole cost and

(a)               Maximum Contribution. As an inducement to Tenant’s entering
into this Second Amendment, Landlord shall, in the manner hereinafter set forth,
provide Tenant with a special tenant improvement allowance (“Landlord’s Second
Amendment Contribution”) not to exceed Two Million Five Hundred Eighty Thousand
Three Hundred Seventy and 00/100 Dollars ($2,580,370.00) (the “Maximum

and Hard Costs are referred to collectively herein as “Permitted Costs”. No more
than $129,018.50 of Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution may be used to pay
for Soft Costs.

 

(b)               Budget. Tenant shall have no right to submit any requisition
to Landlord on account of Permitted Costs until Tenant has submitted to Landlord
a detailed good faith budget (“Budget”) of Permitted Costs. Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord an update of the Budget at least once every two (2) months, but in
any event after Tenant enters into a contract for the performance of Tenant’s
Work with its contractor.

 

(c)               Tenant shall submit to Landlord reasonably detailed

(hereinafter defined) of the cost shown on each requisition (hereinafter
defined) submitted by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of submission
thereof by Tenant to Landlord until the entirety of Landlord’s Second Amendment
Contribution has been exhausted. “Landlord's Proportion” shall be a fraction,
the numerator of which is Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution and the
denominator of which is the Budget for Permitted Costs, from time to time. A
“requisition” shall mean AIA Documents G-702 and G-703 duly executed and
certified by Tenant’s architect and general contractor (accompanied by, without
limitation, invoices from Tenant’s contractors, vendors, service providers and
consultants (collectively, “Contractors”) and partial lien waivers and
subordinations of lien, as specified in M.G.L. Chapter 254, Section 32 (“Lien

President, or other officer of Tenant that the amount of the requisition in

such requisition. Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable advance notice
to Tenant and not more often than one time per calendar month, to inspect
Tenant’s books and records relating to each requisition in order to verify the
amount thereof. Such inspection shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense
unless, after performing such inspection, it is determined that Tenant
overstated the amount due to Tenant by more than four (4%) in which event,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable third-party cost of such
inspection. Tenant shall submit requisition(s) no more often than monthly.

 

(e)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained: (i)
Landlord shall have no obligation to advance funds on account of Landlord’s
Second Amendment Contribution more than once per month; (ii) if Tenant fails to
pay to Tenant’s contractors the amounts paid by Landlord to Tenant in connection
with any previous requisition(s), Landlord shall thereafter have the right to
have Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution paid directly to Tenant’s
contractors; (iii) except as provided in the next following sentence, Landlord
shall have no obligation to pay any portion of Landlord’s Second Amendment
Contribution with respect to any requisition submitted after the date (the
“Outside Requisition Date”) which is the earlier of: (a) three (3) months after
the completion of Tenant’s Work, or (b) six (6) months after the Expansion
Premises Term Commencement Date; provided, however, that if Tenant certifies to
Landlord that it is engaged in a good faith dispute with any contractor, such
Outside Requisition Date shall be extended while such dispute is ongoing, so
long as Tenant is diligently prosecuting the resolution of such dispute; (iv)
Tenant shall not be entitled to any unused portion of Landlord’s Second
Amendment Contribution, (v) Landlord’s obligation to pay any portion of
Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution shall be conditioned upon there
existing no default by Tenant in its obligations under this Lease, of which
Landlord has given Tenant written notice, at the time that Landlord would
otherwise be required to make such payment; and (vi) in addition to all other
requirements hereof, Landlord’s obligation to pay the final ten percent (10%) of
Landlord’s Second Amendment Contribution shall be subject to simultaneous
delivery of all Lien Waivers relating to items, services and work performed in
connection with Tenant’s Work. If Landlord declines to fund any requisition on
the basis that, at the time that Tenant submitted such requisition to Landlord,
Tenant is in default of its obligations under the Lease, then, if Tenant cures
such default and so long as the Lease is still in full force and effect, Tenant
shall again have the right to resubmit such requisition (as may be updated by
Tenant for any work performed since the date of the previously submitted
requisition) for payment subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.

(f)                If Landlord fails to fund any payment of Landlord’s Second
Amendment Contribution properly due to Tenant when due, within thirty (30) days
after Tenant’s written demand, the unfunded amount of the Landlord’s Second
Amendment Contribution shall accrue interest at the Lease Interest Rate, as
defined in Section 5.4, from the date due until paid, and Tenant may offset such
owed amounts from subsequent installments of Base Rent until the total owed to
Tenant is reimbursed.

DICERNA’S DECOMMISSIONING OBLIGATIONS

 

Prior to the expiration of this Lease (or within thirty (30) days after any
earlier termination), Tenant shall clean and otherwise decommission all interior
surfaces (including floors, walls, ceilings, and counters), piping, supply
lines, waste lines, acid neutralization systems and plumbing in and/or
exclusively serving the Premises, and all exhaust or other ductwork in and/or
exclusively serving the Premises, in each case which has carried or released or
been contacted by any Hazardous Materials or other chemical or biological
materials used in the operation of the Premises, and shall otherwise clean the
Premises so as to permit the Surrender Plan (defined below) to be issued. At
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Term, Tenant shall deliver
to Landlord a reasonably detailed narrative description of the actions proposed
(or required by any Legal Requirements) to be taken by Tenant in order to render
the Premises (including any Alterations permitted or required by Landlord to
remain therein) free of Hazardous Materials and otherwise released for
unrestricted use and occupancy including without limitation (and to the extent
applicable) causing the Premises to be decommissioned in accordance with the
regulations of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and/or the Massachusetts
Department of Public health (the “MDPH”) for the control of radiation, and cause
the Premises to be released for unrestricted use by the Radiation Control
Program of the MDPH (the “Surrender Plan”). The Surrender Plan (i) shall be
accompanied by a current list of (A) all Required Permits held by or on behalf
of any Tenant Party with respect to Hazardous Materials in, on, under, at or
about the Premises, and (B) Tenant’s Hazardous Materials, and (ii) shall be
subject to the review and approval of Landlord’s environmental consultant. In
connection with review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon request of
Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional
non-proprietary information concerning the use of and operations within the
Premises as Landlord shall request. On or before the expiration of the Term,
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certification from a third party certified
industrial hygienist reasonably acceptable to Landlord certifying that the
Premises do not contain any Hazardous Materials and evidence that the approved
Surrender Plan shall have been satisfactorily completed by a contractor
acceptable to Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right, subject to
reimbursement at Tenant’s expense as set forth below, to cause Landlord’s
environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional
procedures as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises
are, as of the expiration of the Term (or, if applicable, the date which is
thirty (30) days after any earlier termination of this Lease), free of Hazardous
Materials and otherwise available for unrestricted use and occupancy as
aforesaid. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to deliver the Surrender
Plan and any report by Landlord’s environmental consultant with respect to the
surrender of the Premises to third parties. Such third parties and the Landlord
Parties shall be entitled to rely on the Surrender Report. If Tenant shall fail
to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall
fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if such Surrender Plan, whether
or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address the use of
Hazardous Materials by any of the Tenant Parties in, on, at, under or about the
Premises, Landlord shall have the right to take any such actions as Landlord may
deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises and the Property are
surrendered in the condition required hereunder, the cost of which actions shall
be reimbursed by Tenant as additional rent upon

demand. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 21.1(b) shall survive the
expiration or earlier termination of the Term.

FORM OF GUARANTY

 

GUARANTY

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration for, and as an inducement to HCP/KING
87 CPD LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Landlord”) to enter into
that certain Second Amendment dated as of January __, 2020 to the Lease dated
September 16, 2015, as amended by a First Amendment dated March 29, 2016 (as
amended, the “Lease”) with RA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation
(“Tenant”), the undersigned UCB S.A., a Belgium ___________________, with an
address of _____________________________________ (“Guarantor”), unconditionally
guarantees the timely and punctual payment of all Rent, as defined in the Lease,
and other payments required to be paid by Tenant, and the timely and prompt full
performance and observance of all the covenants, conditions and agreements
therein provided to be performed and observed by Tenant under the Lease.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given in
the Lease. Guarantor expressly agrees that the validity of this agreement and
the obligations of Guarantor shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired
by reason of the granting by Landlord of any indulgences to Tenant or by reason
of the assertion by Landlord against Tenant of any of the rights or remedies
reserved to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of the Lease or by the relief of
Tenant from any of Tenant’s obligations under the Lease by operation of law or
otherwise (including, but without limitation, the rejection of the Lease in
connection with proceedings under the bankruptcy laws now or hereafter enacted);
Guarantor hereby waiving all suretyship defenses.

 

The obligations of Guarantor include the payment to Landlord of any monies
payable by Tenant under any provisions of the Lease, at law, or in equity,
including, without limitation, any monies payable by virtue of the breach of any
warranty, the grant of any indemnity or by virtue of any other covenant of
Tenant under the Lease

 

Guarantor further covenants and agrees that this Guaranty shall remain and
continue in full force and effect during the Term and as to any modification of
the Lease, whether or not Guarantor shall have received any notice of or
consented to such modification. Guarantor further agrees that its liability
under this Guaranty shall be primary (and that the heading of this instrument
and the use of the word “Guaranty(s)” shall not be interpreted to limit the
aforesaid primary obligations of Guarantor), and that in any right of action
which shall accrue to Landlord under the Lease, Landlord may, at its option,
proceed against Guarantor, any other guarantor, and Tenant, jointly or
severally, and may proceed against Guarantor without having commenced any action
against or having obtained any judgment against Tenant or any other guarantor.
Guarantor irrevocably waives any and all rights Guarantor may have at any time
(whether arising directly or indirectly, by operation of law or by contract or
otherwise) to assert any claim against Tenant on account of payments made under
this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any and all rights of or claim for
subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, exoneration and indemnity, and further
waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any security deposit or
other collateral which may be held by Landlord; and Guarantor will not claim any
set-off or counterclaim against Tenant in respect of any liability Guarantor may
have to Tenant.

 

EXHIBIT E, SECOND AMENDMENT

Page 1

 

 

Guarantor hereby waives presentment, protest, notice of default, demand for
payment, and all other suretyship defenses whatsoever with respect to any
payment guaranteed under this Guaranty, and agrees to pay unconditionally upon
demand all amounts owed under the Lease. Guarantor further waives any setoff,
defense or counterclaim that Tenant or Guarantor may have or claim to have
against Landlord and the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting
Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify
Landlord and hold it harmless from and against all loss and expense, including
reasonable third party out of pocket legal fees, suffered or incurred by
Landlord as a result of claims to avoid any payment received by Landlord from
Tenant with respect to the obligations of Tenant under the Lease. If Landlord
retains an attorney to enforce this Guaranty or to bring any action or any
appeal in connection with this Guaranty, the Lease, or the collection of any
payment under this Guaranty or the Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to recover
its attorneys' fees, costs and disbursements in connection therewith, as
determined by the court before which such action or appeal is heard, in addition
to any other relief to which Landlord may be entitled.

 

Guarantor represents to Landlord that Guarantor, directly or indirectly, owns
all of the outstanding ownership interests in Tenant.

 

It is agreed that the failure of Landlord to insist in any one or more instances
upon a strict performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or
covenants of the Lease or to exercise any right therein contained shall not be
construed or deemed to be a waiver or relinquishment for the future of such
term, provision, covenant or right, but the same shall continue and remain in
full force and effect. Receipt by Landlord of Rent with knowledge of the breach
of any provision of the Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach.

 

No subletting, assignment or other transfer of the Lease, or any interest
therein, shall operate to extinguish or diminish the liability of Guarantor
under this Guaranty; and wherever reference is made to the liability of Tenant
named in the Lease, such reference shall be deemed likewise to refer to
Guarantor.

 

All payments becoming due under this Guaranty and not paid within ten (10)
business days after written notice from Landlord that the same is due shall bear
interest from the applicable due date until received by Landlord at the rate set
forth in Section 5.4(a) of the Lease for late payments.

 

It is further agreed that all of the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and assigns of Landlord, and
shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and assigns of Guarantor. Landlord
shall have the unrestricted right to assign this Guaranty in connection with an
assignment of the landlord’s interest in the Lease without the consent of, or
any other action required by, Guarantor.

 

Guarantor shall at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10)
business days’ prior written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to Landlord a statement in writing certifying that this Guaranty is
unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications,
that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the
modifications), it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant
hereto may be relied upon by Landlord, any prospective purchaser of the Building
or of any interest of Landlord therein, any Mortgagee or prospective Mortgagee
thereof, any lessor or prospective lessor thereof, any lessee or prospective
lessee thereof, or any prospective assignee of any mortgage thereof.

construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Guarantor hereby expressly
agrees that all actions to enforce this Guaranty, and all disputes arising,
directly or indirectly, out of or relating to this Guaranty, shall be dealt with
and adjudicated in the state courts of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or the
federal courts for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and for that purpose hereby
expressly and irrevocably submits itself to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction
of such courts. Guarantor waives any and all rights under the laws of any state
or the United States or otherwise to object to such jurisdiction. Guarantor
agrees that so far as is permitted under applicable law, this consent to
personal jurisdiction shall be self-operative and no further instrument or
action, other than service of process as otherwise permitted by law, shall be
necessary in order to confer jurisdiction upon it in any such court. Guarantor
irrevocably agrees and consents that in addition to any methods of service of
process provided by applicable law, all such service of process and any suit,
action, or proceeding may be made by certified or registered mail, return
receipt requested, at the address below, and Guarantor irrevocably designates
and appoints Tenant as its authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on its
behalf service of process with respect to any disputes arising, directly or
indirectly, out of this Guaranty:
